I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"That's right, my son-in-law has already communicated with Master Baiyun, and he said that this is a catastrophe in Guobei County... According to my speculation, it may be the revenge of the Black Mountain old demon.

Although this old demon can't leave the range of Montenegro, he is a demon king after all, and can control some little demons to make troubles.

The black cloud that appeared in the afternoon was probably some kind of secret technique performed by the old demon to summon some little demons to come out. "

Hearing this, Nie Hongshu couldn't help but turn pale and frowned.

After all, he is the magistrate of Guobei County, and demons appear on a large scale in this county. Once they are not handled properly, it is easy to attract complaints from the people and punishment from the court.

"Father-in-law, it's best to report this matter to the imperial court as soon as possible, so as not to say that you concealed it when you are held accountable later."

"Well, I'll write to the government office in a while... My son-in-law, do you think this matter will end up being a big deal? Will it pose a threat to the lives of the people in the county?"

Gu Ming pondered for a moment, and comforted: "It shouldn't be that serious, after all, the scope of activities of the Black Mountain old demon is limited.

There are no people living in Montenegro.

If it's outside, it's a big deal that the old demon will send some little demons and ghosts to make trouble.

I will go to Lanruo Temple again in a while, discuss a strategy with Master Baiyun, and see if I can take the initiative to attack and directly destroy the old black mountain demon.

After all, it is the source of this catastrophe.

As long as the source is cut off, the catastrophe will naturally disappear. "

"It's so good, then I have a good son-in-law."

"Father-in-law, a family doesn't speak two different languages. As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half the same, we father and son can be courteous in front of others, and we don't have to be so divided in private."

"Hahaha, okay, blame me, blame me!"

Nie Hongshu patted Gu Ming's shoulder with great satisfaction, and then sighed: "With a son-in-law like you, I will be content in my life."

"Father-in-law, thank you!"

"Look, I said just now that our father and son should not be too estranged, isn't that being polite again?"

"Hahaha, then I won't be humble..."

Weng and his son-in-law joked a few words with each other, and then Gu Ming left.

Back in the small courtyard, Gu Ming found his wife and confessed in detail: "Xiaoqian, I'm going to Lanruo Temple to discuss with Master Baiyun about dealing with the old demon of Black Mountain..."

"Well, you go, I will pay attention in the city."

"Remember, if there is a monster in the city, you and Yu'er try not to do anything, just let Yingning go invisible.

When you have to do something, dress up and put on a veil so that no one will recognize you. "

Nie Xiaoqian nodded and said, "Well, okay, I'll make some preparations later, just in case...

But Gu Lang, if you really want to deal with the Black Mountain old demon, don't be rash, you'd better find a few more helpers.If not, I will go to help too. "

Gu Ming took her hand and said softly: "Just leave the matter of fighting and killing to men. You only need to be responsible for your beautiful appearance..."

Upon hearing this, Nie Xiaoqian said coquettishly, "Gu Lang, he is not as delicate as you think."

Gu Ming smiled happily: "Haha, in fact, the husband has good intentions and loves my beauty... Okay, let's not talk, I have to go to Lanruo Temple to find Master Baiyun."

"Well, be more careful, you don't have to worry about family affairs anyway."

Gu Ming nodded, hugged his wife and kissed her, then turned and walked out of the room.

After going out, Gu Ming thought about it, but went to the Town God's Temple first.

In terms of the status of the Town God's Temple, it is no exaggeration to say that it is extremely special in the eyes of the common people.

In the world, how many people don't know the City God?

How many people have never visited the Town God's Temple?

The reason why the status of Chenghuang is special is that it transcends the concept of dynasty.

No matter how dynasties change or how history changes, it will not have the slightest impact on it.

The existence of the Town God's Temple is a kind of spiritual support for the people all over the world, especially for some poor people.

If you are sick, go to pray.

The family is too poor to open the pot, so go to worship.

You have been wronged, go to worship.

The crops are not harvested well, so go and pray.

Even when the couple quarreled, they went to pay respects.

Even if it didn't come true once, I still had a pious heart and didn't dare to have the slightest thought of disrespect.

This is the power of faith.

Its significance lies in this, which makes people have a kind of spiritual support and dependence.

In fact, neither the City God nor other gods will easily intervene in human affairs.

If the big gods and the little gods all came to meddle in their own affairs and make decisions for the people, what would the court do?

As soon as Gu Ming entered the Town God's Temple, Song Tao showed his figure and said with a wry smile, "I guessed that you would come for a visit."

"Since Song Shengsheng has guessed my reason for coming, can you tell me something that is not a secret? For example, the strange cloud this time should not be some kind of punishment from heaven?"

"This...it's really not. I believe you have guessed it. The strange cloud comes from Montenegro."

"Well, it should be the black mountain old demon. However, its behavior should be considered against the harmony of heaven, can you take care of it?"

"I really can't control this... I'm not afraid to tell you, even if I want to control it, I can't control that old demon."

Gu Ming couldn't help but said: "Then can you invite someone who can subdue it?"

Song Tao smiled mysteriously: "Isn't this far away in the sky, is it close in front of you?"

"Uh?"

Gu Ming was speechless.

"Gu Sheng, you have to have confidence in yourself, I believe you can solve it."

"Okay... But Mr. Song is also planning to sit idly by and ignore all kinds of monsters appearing in the city?"

Song Tao hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Actually, I have already consulted the above for instructions on this matter, and I will take action according to the situation... At least, the situation in the county will not be out of control."

[Speaking like this, Gu Ming felt a little relieved, and thanked him with his hand: "Okay, thank you Mr. Song!"

"You're welcome, that's all Song's responsibility."

"That's nothing, I'll take my leave first, and I have to find someone to discuss the elimination of the Black Mountain old demon."

"Well, be more careful!"

Not long after, Gu Ming came to Lanruo Temple.

"Huh? Hero Yan!"

Upon arriving at Lanruo Temple, Gu Ming was pleasantly surprised to find that Yan Chixia was also in the temple.

"Hahaha, I mentioned you to Master Baiyun just now, and you're here!"

Yan Chixia cheerfully came forward to meet her.

"Presumably, Hero Yan rushed back after discovering the abnormality in the sky in the afternoon?"

"That's right!" Yan Chixia nodded, and looked in the direction of Montenegro solemnly: "If Yan's prediction is correct, that old demon has already left the gate."

"Oh?" Gu Ming frowned: "Since it has passed the level, can we take the initiative to attack and destroy it?"

Yan Chixia shook her head: "It is estimated that that guy came out of the customs by force, so Yan did not sense its breath, probably hiding in the underworld..."

"Hell?"

"That's right, as far as Yan knows, this monster is powerful and can freely enter and exit the Yin and Yang realms, and has occupied a large area in the underworld as its territory."

Gu Ming couldn't help but asked in doubt: "There should be no shortage of masters in the underworld, right? Why do you allow the old black mountain demon to occupy the territory of the underworld?"

"I'm not sure about this Yan, maybe the place it occupies doesn't matter, or maybe there's some special reason...

I don't know how many years this old monster has cultivated before it took shape, its strength must be extraordinary, and it may not be an easy task to deal with it. "

"Hmm... By the way, Yan Leixia, where is Zhiqiu hero now?"

"He should be near Guobei County, and he will definitely sense the movement of Heishan, maybe he is already on his way."

Gu Ming nodded in relief: "That's good. When the time comes, we will join hands and we will be able to completely kill the old Black Mountain demon, and we will never have any future troubles!"

"I hope so!"

Yan Chixia couldn't help but let out a long sigh, then raised her eyes again to look deep into the Black Mountain...

Chapter 225 Five masters gather together

Yan Chixia guessed right, Zhiqiu was indeed near Guobei County.

He is similar to Yan Chixia, they both like the unrestrained life in the world where they are at home.

On the same day, Zhiqiu had just finished a job and got paid ten taels of silver.

This guy can't hold money, and if he has money, he will definitely find a place to eat and drink...

After eating and drinking enough, when he left the restaurant, he realized that the direction of Guobei County was full of evil spirits, so he couldn't help but feel moved, and immediately rushed to the direction of Guobei County.

In the afternoon, when I passed a village, I found that the village was beating gongs and drums, and all the villagers were busy preparing for some ceremony.

Out of curiosity, he quietly turned into the village to find out.

At this time, in the small courtyard of the village chief's house.

There is a small table in the courtyard, on which there are several dishes such as roast chicken, hare, braised fish and so on.

Sitting at the table, one old and one young, gorged on meat and drank like a reincarnated starving ghost.

The village chief and his wife were the masters, but they could only stand aside helplessly, swallowing their saliva while watching the two of them eating wildly.

These are all the food and wine gathered with the help of the villagers, for fear of neglecting the two immortal masters.

In fact, the old and the young are liars who walk the rivers and lakes. They know a little bit of tricks in the rivers and lakes. If they can cheat, they will cheat.

The two masters and apprentices have been unlucky recently, and they often have their last meal but never their next meal, and they are almost reduced to beggars.

Unexpectedly, the heavens are beautiful... a vision suddenly appeared in the sky, and black clouds formed grimaces, which scared many villagers into panic and rumors spread all over the sky.

This made the master and apprentice secretly happy, and felt that a "business opportunity" had arrived.

After all, people are best deceived when they are frightened and helpless, just like falling into the water, even if they see a straw floating on the water, they will subconsciously grab it.

The two masters and apprentices knew this well, so they pretended to be masters and came to this village. They talked nonsense, coaxed and threatened, saying that this is a catastrophe from heaven and a catastrophe on earth. There are countless lonely souls and wild ghosts...

In normal times, it would be difficult to deceive people this time.

But now, the grimaces appearing in the sky have already frightened the villagers. In addition, the two masters and apprentices have used some tricks to reveal their little tricks...

Immediately, they were regarded as saviors by a group of villagers, and they begged the two immortal elders to find a way to help the villagers resolve the crisis.

The two masters and apprentices had been prepared for a long time, saying that they were specially sent by heaven to come down to pray for the poor people to ward off disasters...

In fact, this statement itself is inconsistent.

What was said before was a catastrophe from heaven, but now it is said that God sent down to save the people...

However, how could the common people think too much?How dare you question it?

Even if he had some doubts in his heart, he could only entertain the two of them warmly with the mentality that he would rather believe in something than believe in nothing, without daring to be negligent.

The master and apprentice ate and drank here, and a group of villagers ran to set up a stage and beat the gong according to the request of the two...

These are nothing more than a formality. If you want to deceive people, you have to do it in a decent way.

The ultimate goal of the master and apprentice is not only to eat and drink, but also to cheat a sum of money.

For this reason, a lot of so-called amulets have been prepared, and they are planned to be sold for [-] yuan each.

Presumably the people in the village are gritting their teeth, even if they borrow money, they have to buy it... Once the news spreads, villagers from other villages will definitely come to ask for help.

After a few days, can't you earn dozens of taels?

After a while, the old man with the goatee seemed to feel that someone was standing on the sidelines and eating, so he said to the village chief and his wife: "Okay, you two don't stay here, go and see what the villagers are going to do." How is it?"

"Yes, yes, the two immortal elders please take your time!"
