Chapter 230 229. Xiaoyaofang (Subscribe!)

"Have you heard about it?"

"What did you hear?" The other person turned his eyes around, as if he didn't hear any strange rumors. "Could it be that Xiaoyaofang has opened again?"

"Why do we need to hear about the opening of Xiaoyaofang? The news will surely spread everywhere in the city as soon as the opening takes place." The person who spoke first glared and said, "I'm talking about the strange phenomenon that happened on the hill outside the city last night."

"The vision on the hill outside the city? What vision? Which hill?"

"Hehehe, you don't know, right? Isn't there a mountain full of mosquitoes on the road coming from the south?"

"Oh, that mountain. Those mosquitoes are really annoying."

"Last night, on this mountain, a sea of ​​fire suddenly appeared in the sky, and the light of the fire made the night as bright as day.

Then there was the sound of the sword Ming Zhen Xiao, and the sound alone was enough to make people in the nearby villages bleed from all seven orifices.

At last, accompanied by a thunderbolt, peace returned to the world! "

"Such a big movement?"

"Yes, it is said that someone is transcending the tribulation and ascending to heaven!"

"Crossing the tribulation? Is this true or not?"

There are immortals in this world, but in the past tens of thousands of years, no one has been able to ascend to heaven and obtain the fruit of immortality.

"With such a big commotion, it's probably true." The person who spoke first had a look of yearning, "It's a pity that I didn't see such a strange sight with my own eyes."

At the next table.

A girl about six or seven years old stuffed food into her mouth and said strangely, "Big Princess, why are you panting so hard?"

Xu Qing tapped Bai Laola's head with his fingers and said, "Let's talk after we finish eating."

"Oh."

Bai Lele swallowed the food in his mouth with force, patted his chest and let out a long sigh.

Xu Qing couldn't help but shook his head at Bai Lele's eating manner, and then said meticulously:

"That's what rumors are like. The more they spread, the more outrageous and exaggerated they become."

"Maybe one person only defeated a few people, but when the news finally reached that person's ears, it became that he defeated an army of tens of thousands of people by himself."

“So rumors are often not credible.”

"Liao Liao, if you hear some rumors in the future, it's best not to blindly believe them."

Bai Lele is consistent in his appearance and heart. Although he is very powerful, he has the mentality of a six or seven-year-old child.

If Zhong Nengshu hadn't been following him, he would have been easily deceived.

I guess the people in her village also knew this, which is why they let Zhong Neng Rat follow her all the way.

At the same time, I also had the idea of ​​gaining some enlightenment through this ordeal.

"Okay, big brother!" Bai Lele nodded solemnly.

After answering clearly, Xu Qing turned to look at the bustling street outside the window.

After dealing with the Lujin Lady last night, I was afraid that I would miss a mosquito and fail to kill it, which would cause the Lujin Lady to revive.

Xu Qing and Bai Lele almost searched the entire mountain.

We didn't get back on the road until sunrise, and arrived in the city at its busiest time.

Also, because Bai Lele had worked hard last night and was hungry, he took her to this restaurant for dinner.

Originally, I planned to go to a brothel or teahouse, where I could listen to music or storytelling while filling my stomach.
But it was freezing cold and these places were closed early in the morning.

To put it bluntly, these places take money out of the pockets of people who have spare money. In this kind of weather, everyone just stays in bed and sleeps comfortably.

Why would I get up just to listen to a song?

The streets are bustling with people now, but in fact, it is all because of the poor people trying to make a living.

"Are you full?" Xu Qing withdrew his gaze from the window.

Bai Lele shook his head: "Not yet, I still need to save some space for the hot pot that big brother mentioned." Xu Qing didn't expect that Bai Lele still remembered his casual words yesterday.

but
Today is still snowing heavily like yesterday, which is a perfect time to eat hotpot. He hasn't eaten it for a long time and is craving for the taste.

"Then let's have hot pot for lunch today."

Bai Lele's eyes lit up when he heard that.

"Before that, let's go to the government office first."

Xu Qing brought Bai Lele to the government office in this city, reported the identity of the Arctic Exorcism House, and was then welcomed in.

Although he had not yet officially taken over the position of "Inspector", the relevant documents and tokens had been delivered to him through the Linhong Posthouse when he went down the mountain.

"Your humble servant Lin Zhizhong greets you, sir."

In the back hall of the government office, the city's highest official, the county magistrate Lin Zhizhong, bowed and greeted Xu Qing.

Xu Qing replied with a Daoji.

Then he told her how he and Bai Lele had beheaded the Lady with Exposed Bones last night.

"It turns out that the strange phenomenon on the hilltop last night was caused by you, my Lord!"

Lin Zhizhong suddenly realized, and then his face became serious, and he spoke loudly:
"I didn't expect that the one enshrined in the Lujin Temple was actually an evil ghost! Your Excellency did a great job in killing him! It really makes people happy!"

"If the Lady Lu Jin were to break the seal and come out, the people around here would be in danger."

Xu Qing looked at Lin Zhizhong with a strange look.

Lin Zhizhong was a civil servant, that is, a Confucian scholar, and the Lujin Temple was within his jurisdiction.

How is it possible that he knows nothing about the situation in Lujin Temple?

Under Xu Qing's slightly teasing gaze, Lin Zhizhong's expression did not change at all. He continued to speak impassionedly, praising Xu Qing's deeds of slaying the demon with the most lavish words.

Well, if you don’t have a thick skin as an official, you can’t be an official.

Xu Qing was speechless.

But it's not easy to show it.

After all, the Arctic Exorcism Institute is only responsible for exorcising evil spirits in the world, and the reputation assessment of this official is the business of the imperial court.

At most, he would just mention it in his report to his superiors regarding the Lujin Temple incident.

"By the way, Master Chen, I just heard many people mention the word 'Xiaoyaofang' when I walked here. What is this place?"

At first glance, the name Xiaoyaofang sounds like a brothel, but not only men but women also mention this place.

And no matter rich or poor, noble or humble, everyone will mention it from time to time.

So it shouldn’t be a brothel.

Xu Qing was very curious about what kind of place this Xiaoyaofang was.

"This..." Lin Zhizhong's eyes changed a little, and he stammered, not knowing whether he should open the mouth or not.

"Master Lin, you may as well tell me. Even if it involves evil spirits, as long as it does not harm people, I will not interfere."

Hearing this, Lin Zhizhong breathed a sigh of relief and dared to speak.

After all, this matter really involves evil spirits and monsters, and the Arctic Exorcism Institute has great power when it comes to dealing with evil spirits and monsters.

"Sir, this Xiaoyaofang is actually a trading place opened by a great demon who passed by here. It opens at 15:30, when the Yang energy of heaven and earth is at its heaviest. As for the opening day, it is uncertain, and it could be opened at any time."

"At that time, both mortals and cultivators will be able to enter."

"The cultivators enter for the treasures within."

"There are many fox and ghost prostitutes among mortals. You don't need to pay, just pay some energy, and you can taste the beauty of the beauty."

"This is a great thing for those peasants."

"Women would seek remedies to maintain their youth and predict their future husbands."
