Chapter 28 Demons get titles, there are silver monks in the world
Xiangzhu's movements were slightly stagnant, and he slowly turned his head: "Sir, I asked about this work. Is it possible that you plan to..."
Zhou Yi looked out the window: "I originally wanted to stay in Xu Mansion forever, but after this incident, I'm afraid I won't have any peace."
Xiangzhu's expression dimmed and he murmured: "Yes, both Mr. Xu and Erlang hate strange and powerful men and so-called masters. Sir, you have shown such a trick tonight, and if it is reported back to the house, it will definitely attract criticism."
Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Only you know about finding a house. Please help me keep an eye on it when you have time."
Xiangzhu was about to refuse, but under the clear gaze from the opposite side, everything she owned seemed to be invisible.
She pursed her lips and whispered, "Yes."
After washing her hair, Xiangzhu left with the copper pot.
Zhou Yi did not go to bed. It was not until Xiangzhu's figure disappeared from sight that he turned his head and looked at the other side of the window lattice.
Late at night in Xu Mansion.
The autumn wind is gentle and the dark clouds are flying alone.
Wuzhang Xuhua just squatted quietly in the open space in front of the building, looking longingly at the monks in the building.
"Your name is Shaotou? Did your parents give it to you? This name is too irresponsible." Zhou Yi joked in a harmless way.
Wu Zhangxuhua grinned: "I was born in the underworld, with Yinchuan as my father and Huangquan as my mother. Naturally, I chose this name for myself. Hmm? I understand! Please give me a name, Master!"
"How do you understand it again? The young monk thinks this sound is quite good."
Zhou Yi touched his bald head and suddenly had some enlightenment.
Are the so-called unspoken rules of slang just a matter of imagination after wasting time on guessing people’s hearts?
Does this guy really think he can do whatever he wants with his big head?
Shaotou asked cautiously: "From what the master's maid said, could it be that she is planning to live in Wenhe County for a long time?"
Zhou Yi smiled and said nothing.
Returning to secular life is always his first motivation.
However, for now, the main focus is on hair growth, supplemented by finding eminent monks in monasteries.
Although he has sword pills and sword energy, and his physical fitness has been comprehensively improved, and he is comparable to a martial artist from Kaifu, the outside world is still too dangerous.
Moreover, the prodigal son Xu Gong has not returned from a long journey, and I have not thanked him in person.
Suddenly, Zhou Yi remembered the scene of the confrontation between the bridgehead and the ghost woman on the shore just now.
"Then Mrs. Chu, who is she? Why do you call yourself the county owner?"
Wuzhang Xuhua hesitated for a moment, then Gongzhao said: "Reporting to Master, Mrs. Chu is a female ghost who has practiced Taoism for more than seventy years. According to our inquiries, it seems that she was a woman who was thrown into a dry well by her husband's family during the Yuanzhi period because she could not get pregnant.
The woman's resentment was transformed. As for the county leader, that is a title determined by our generation of ghosts based on the level of strength, age of cultivation, region, underworld law, salary, etc."
Zhou Yi's eyes lit up: "Is it similar to a level? Quick, tell me, what other accounts are banned?"
"Level?" Haotou was stunned for a long time: "Oh, above the Lord of Netherworld County, there are four categories of titles: Netherworld Prefect, Netherworld Jiedushi, Netherworld Duke, and Netherworld Emperor."
This time it was Zhou Yi's turn to be stunned: "Isn't that similar to an official position in the world?"
Xiaotou scratched the head of Da Niu: "Not only the ghosts are like this, but there are similar divisions among monsters, such as the Lord of Dahuang County, the Grand Administrator of Dahuang, and the Envoy of Dahuang Jiedu... Maybe it's because we were born in the netherworld, while the monsters are
He claims that his ancestors came from the great wilderness of China."
Zhou Yi came back to his senses: "It's interesting. What about you, Xiantou? Can you be considered the Lord of Netherworld County?"
Shaotou looked ashamed and lowered his head: "I...can probably only be regarded as a ghost hunter, but this kind of subdivision is not commonly used."
Zhou Yiruo realized that the levels of monsters were divided in this way.
The county chief corresponds to the county, the prefect corresponds to the state and county, the military envoy corresponds to the Tao, the duke corresponds to the vassal state, and the emperor corresponds to the dynasty.
Within each major level, there are many subdivisions, such as the head catchers under the county lord.
They all correspond to the human official positions of this dynasty, which are concise and clear.
I wonder if this has been the case since ancient times?
Zhou Yi looked out the window, pondered for a long time, and finally asked the question he was most concerned about: "What kind of title can that little monk's finger be compared to?"
Wu Zhangxu Hua suddenly raised his head, and there seemed to be some kind of blazing light burning in his huge blood-moon eyes.
"The master's Buddhist sword energy is unfathomable."
"The most powerful evil monster I have ever encountered in my life is the county master."
"But even the Lord of Netherworld County can't stop the power of the mage's finger."
Zhou Yi's face was calm and calm, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Good."
If Xiantou is not exaggerating, then his sword power alone is enough to run rampant in a county.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
Another line of small black characters, like smoke, floated up from the air.
But it didn't appear in front of Zhou Yi, but coiled around Wuzhang Xuhua's head.
…
"In Wenhe County, there is a sinister monster called Xuhuang, who was born to serve the Hades..."
"When the law of the underworld is strong, it will survive; when the law of the underworld is weak, it will die..."
"Those who waste money can access the yin and yang wealth paths and are good at using the 'life-buying wealth technique'..."
…
Zhou Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.
The small black characters know everything and seem to hide some kind of pattern.
But what he can present to himself is limited after all, and more than 90% of them are human affairs, and only a few of them involve ghosts and monsters.
Including incidents such as "The Great Demon in the River and the Sword of the Earthly Immortal" and "The Skinning of Visitors from the Capital by Waste", so far they can only be counted in two hands.
And they are all concise and concise, never as detailed as today.
A similar situation only happened once - Bai Yu, the toad spirit.
And what they have in common...
"Have you ever been killed by me?"
Zhou Yi's eyes flashed.
It seems that I have finally discovered some connection between the monsters and the small black characters.
…
The news in the small county town is always faster than the autumn wind.
In less than three days, the story of the eminent monk from the Xu family picking up silver with nothing at Qingchun Tower had already spread widely.
In the streets and alleys, after tea and dinner, men, women and children were talking about the young monk in Xu's residence.
Beautiful, mysterious, and otherworldly.
Especially the restaurant owner, whenever he talks about the eminent monk of the Xu Mansion, he never forgets to mention that Lu Baotou forcibly "borrowed" the immortal silver given to him by the eminent monk, with a look and tone full of disdain and disdain.
Later, a storyteller passed by Wenjinghe County and heard about this incident and called him the Silver Monk.
Also said: ...the silver monk with wonderful hands.
Within a few days, the name "Silver Monk" had spread among the people.
…
Wenhe County Government.
Lu Wujiu, who was wearing a white official uniform, moved his ears and then put down the document in his hand.
The sound of footsteps came from outside the hall.
Not long after, several fastmen filed in, stood up and saluted Lu Wujiu with their hands crossed.
"Lu Jun."
Lu Wujiu stood up in a hurry, walked around the screen, and walked quickly to several people: "Have you ever found Chen Chi?"
All the detectives shook their heads in unison.
A young policeman whispered: "I didn't expect that this generation of small gangsters who run low-income businesses would have such 'skills'. They sold nearly a hundred taels of silver in the West Market and bought dozens of horses. Now they are even more capable."
It’s just fun to disappear.”
Another older police officer also said: "The laws of this dynasty stipulate that anyone who steals or sells burial property will be tattooed, whipped a hundred times, and exiled for two thousand miles. This Chen Wuzuo committed this case and knew that he was guilty of a serious crime. He may have already died."
Fleeed Wenhe County."
There was a look of regret in Lu Wujiu's eyes, and he sighed: "I will report to the Ming County Lord, draw a shadow, and arrest the suspect Chen Chi. This man, Chen Chi, does not love himself, it is really a pity."
There was a sigh, and all the arresters quickly dispersed.
The regret in Lu Wu Jiu's eyes faded, his face turned slightly pale, and he paced back and forth.
Not long after, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Chen Chi, Chen Chi, what are you doing?"
In the whole county, he was the only one who knew that he was Chen Chi and had been able to deal with ghosts since he was a child.
All kinds of secret things in the world cannot be seen or heard by ordinary people, but the ghosts and ghosts hiding in the dark are all clear to us.
The reason why he has repeatedly solved strange cases over the years and gained such a big name in the county is inseparable from Chen Chi's secret help and various clues.
But now, Chen Chi has turned into a suspect for stealing funeral objects.
So as a long-term collaborator, wouldn’t he also become an ally?
"hiss……"
Captain Lu took a breath of air.
He originally wanted to find out the secret of Yichen, the "Silver Monk" of the Xu Mansion, with the help of Chen Chi's miraculous skill of "communicating with ghosts".
But in just three days, the situation has been completely reversed.
