Chapter 9 and One
Adjutant Qiu Jiu pushed Sun Shangxiang away, took out a pistol, pointed the gun upwards, and shouted sharply: "This is the county government office, the county of Darong Kingdom, if the girl speaks in such a tone, then don't Blame me for being rude."
Lu Ming patted the adjutant's shoulder, with a slight smile on his face. "Adjutant Qiu, go down first. Miss Sun is a sensible person, and she will definitely not mess around. In this way," he whispered in the adjutant's ear, "Hurry up and find Wang Mouse and see what he has. Not found."
"Captain, this Wang Mouse has left the county, and I can't find him for a while. He said that he will call us if he has any news." Qiu Jiu was quite helpless, and he didn't have any way to deal with it. I also sweated for the leader.
"You put away the gun first, or I'll hit you with the baton again." Lu Ming roared with his eyes wide open.
At this time, Sun Shangxiang leaned over and pretended to cough a few times, "Commander Lu, I won't make things difficult for you. Since you said that Taoist nun left the county, I will give you a day to find her. Let me go today." The head of the Sun family and my brother, in principle, said that my Sun family's rebuilding of the temple is a merit and deed, and it is not illegal, I wonder if the head of the Lu family agrees with me?"
"Looks like I've met a thorn," Lu Ming said to himself. He didn't expect that such a weak woman who came in would be a sharp-tongued thorn. If he didn't give everyone an explanation, it would be a bit unreasonable.
"I see what the girl means is that you don't want to get rid of the old ideas, but you want to fight against my Da Rongguo. If that's the case, girl, I don't think your Sun family has enough heads even if you have a hundred heads." Lu Ming smiled coldly , said sharply.
Dealing with such a little girl was a bit tricky, but it wasn't enough for him to be in a hurry.In front of so many people, you must maintain your image as a parent and official, but you must not let the other party find your weakness.
Sun Shangxiang was taken aback, her face changed greatly, and she quickly said in a sophistry way: "Captain Lu, the accusation you have given is too serious. Of course, my Sun family supports the Great Rong Kingdom and is the loyal people of the Great Rong Kingdom."
"This is the best, otherwise your Sun family will be in great trouble. It seems that the girl is young, but the city is very deep. No one dares to want such a girl. Don't you think so, girl. In addition, I want to remind you, It’s fine if you want these three masters to meet Xiangu, but if you make any more troubles, I can’t guarantee that the soldiers under me will point their guns at you.” As soon as these words came out, a row of people lined up in unison. The soldiers suddenly appeared in front of everyone like heavenly soldiers and generals, and pointed their guns at Sun Shangxiang alone.
The girl's family has never seen such a battle, she was scared out of her nerves long ago, and beads of sweat emerged from her temples and slowly slid down.Being so close, Lu Ming could already smell the other party's body fragrance.
Immediately, the onlookers were too frightened to speak, and some retreated quietly. No one wanted to be affected by Chi Yu and cause trouble all over.The others could only stand where they were, waiting for how Lu Ming would deal with this matter.
"Okay, what are you doing? You are scaring anyone with a gun. Put it away." Lu Ming saw that everyone was afraid to move, especially Sun Shangxiang was trembling with fright. sentence.
With a clatter, the soldier put away his rifle, but did not leave.
"If I can't deal with you, I will draw my gun every now and then. No wonder people call you Qiuba. You're really right. A bunch of big bastards don't understand anything. Next time, let's see how I deal with you."
After Lu Ming finished cursing, he turned around to face Sun Shangxiang, and continued in a gentle tone: "Miss Sun is not scared, is this group of people uneducated, from the countryside, and have never seen such a beautiful woman. Let’s leave this matter as it is, and when I find Aunt Xiangu, you bring these three masters over here, and you will definitely satisfy your requirements.”
"Everyone go away, there is nothing to see, there is still so much work to do at home, don't you want to eat?" Lu Ming shouted at the onlookers again, and now everyone turned around and dispersed, not daring to eat. Stay here any longer.
There was not enough time for a cup of tea, only Lu Ming, the soldiers, Sun Shangxiang and three Taoist priests were left in the hall.Afterwards, the soldiers also left under Lu Ming's signal.
Sun Shangxiang didn't know what to say for a long time. If he used to be always high-spirited, shouting slogans on the street every day, throwing his head and blood, etc., his courage is commendable, but now, when he really faces the gun, Only then do we know how humble a human life is.
The three Taoist priests didn't know when they would leave the stage sadly. Even if they were Taoist priests, they were afraid of being strong. Everyone wanted to live a good life.
After pretending to cough a few times, Lu Ming looked at the weak woman in front of him, took a deep breath and said, "Miss Sun, why don't you leave first, I still have a lot of things to do, so I won't entertain you, Miss."
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were said, Sun Shangxiang burst into tears and burst into tears. "Lu Ming, you bully people, but you are still a soldier, and you bully me, a weak woman."
Lu Ming was taken aback, and finally heard the words from the crying of the other party, and he couldn't help laughing on the spot. "I said, girl, this is what you want to find fault with. I'm just trying to argue with reason. How could it be considered bullying you? I'm about to cry. Those who don't know think I really did something to you."
Sun Shangxiang squatted on the ground, crying so hard that she didn't listen to anyone's persuasion at all. "Lu Ming, you are still a big man, do you ever bully a woman like this? You also said that no one wants me, and I think you are the one who is no one wants."
Lu Ming was very helpless, sat down, took a few sips of tea, treated it as watching a play, and didn't care what the other party would do next.This is his territory, is it possible that someone will accuse him of bullying women?
Seeing that Lu Ming was indifferent, Sun Shangxiang frowned and peeked while crying, thinking about the next plan in her heart.Seeing that the crying scene was useless, she began to increase the stakes, stood up and pushed Lu Ming, and muttered to herself: "Lu Ming, I'm going to the provincial capital to sue you for bullying me, for avenging my personal revenge, and for imprisoning my grandson." There are about a hundred people in the family."
"Okay, adjutant, come here." Lu Ming knew that the other party couldn't make any trouble, so he called the adjutant around, and when the adjutant came to him, he said triumphantly, "You drive and take Miss Sun to the province. City, she is going to sue the head of the regiment for bullying her. Now that we are in the Great Rong Kingdom, we have to give them such a chance."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 9 Let the Alien Beast Appear
Seeing that her plan could not be carried out, Sun Shangxiang gave up the plan, and the crying stopped abruptly. She pretended to wipe away her tears, stood up and said confidently, "Which provincial capital are you going to? Did I say you are going to the provincial capital?" , turned around and walked out of the hall without looking back.
The remaining two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"Captain, you are the best at dealing with such a girl, and she will be convinced with just a few words." Qiu Jiu looked at Lu Ming with envious eyes and jealousy, thinking that if she could also have such abilities, then That's great.
Right now, things were temporarily suppressed, but the arrival of the three Taoist priests was obviously prepared, and they had to see Qi Mengzhu before they could give up.After Lu Ming returned to the office, he thought about it all afternoon. When he was about to leave work, he asked his adjutant to ask about Wang Mouse.
Adjutant Qiu Jiu reported in detail about Wang Mouse's call in the afternoon, "Head, this Wang Mouse has called, but there is still no good news. He has already left the city and asked other friends for help. I believe that with his ability There must be good news."
"This Wang Mouse is just a ruffian. Don't expect him to do anything. Then, I'll go for a walk in the city to see if I can meet Miss Qi. Don't be idle and go to interrogate Sun Mingjie , let him tell the lair of the phantom beast."
Lu Ming put on the vest and shirt of the day again, and wandered around the city.When it was dark, I felt a little hungry, so I stopped at a dumpling restaurant on the street and ordered a bowl of dumplings.
He was eating in the corner with relish, and the three people sitting at the next table chattered.
"Brother, do you think the Sun family can win this time?"
"I think it's okay. Those three Taoist priests are all famous masters. If they want to say that the fairy girl is fake, it must be fake."
"That's not necessarily true. How could Head Lu invite a fake nun to deceive us all. I think there must be something tricky in it."
"Then you are wrong. I heard that one of the reasons why the fox fairy has been guarding us in Huzhong County is because of our lover, Sun Juren. And this Sun Juren is a child of the Sun family."
"Is there such a thing? Then it's no wonder why the Sun family wanted to rebuild this temple. It must have a lot to do with Sun Juren."
The three of them talked one after another, and Lu Ming, who was eating dumplings next to him, had a general idea of what they were talking about, but he couldn't figure out what they were talking about.After eating the dumplings, he was about to leave when the waiter came over and told him that someone was waiting for him on the second floor.
Although Lu Ming is from Huzhong County, he has gone out for many years due to family changes, so he is still relatively new to this Huzhong County. Who would recognize him in this busy city?
With this question in mind, Lu Ming went up to the second floor with the waiter in the shop, and came to a private room.
The waiter knocked and said in a low voice, "Girl, the person you want has come."
After the shop waiter left, the door creaked open, and the person who came out was Qi Mengzhu, her dress remained unchanged, it was the dress that represented the new era, and people could tell at a glance that she was a new youth who had returned from studying abroad.
"Miss Qi, is it you? I've been looking for you for several days. Where have you been? Why aren't you at the original Yuelai Inn?" Lu Ming was shocked, but at the same time he was overjoyed. It takes no effort to get along.
Qi Mengzhu stretched out his head and knocked around, dragged Lu Ming in, and bolted the door.
"Captain Lu, I'm really sorry. I went to catch the alien beast before, but I accidentally fell into her trap. After I came back, I didn't go to the Yuelai Inn again. I'm sorry for making you worry." Qi Mengzhu said, inviting Lu Ming sat down, poured two cups of tea, and brought them to the other party.
"So that's the case. I was really worried to death. You were sick in the first place, and you disappeared for no reason, which shocked me."
Qi Mengzhu took out a mirror with many cracks from her bag. It was a gossip yin and yang mirror, which she put together bit by bit in the past two days. "I have been hiding for the past two days just to repair the yin and yang mirror. Now this is just a simple patchwork. If I want to repair it, I have to go to the craftsmen in the city. But I can't show up, so I have been waiting I'm waiting for you to find me."
"So that's the case, but I don't know where in this city can repair this yin and yang mirror?"
"There is a shroud shop that sells paper figurines in the north of the city. There is a very good master. On the surface, he is a paper figurine master. In fact, he can repair all kinds of magical instruments. Everyone in the industry knows this master." Qi Mengzhu said one by one. Tell me what you know without reservation, so that the other party can bring the magic weapon to repair it.
Lu Ming nodded, but he was not in a hurry to do things, but had other questions to ask. "Miss Qi, I haven't seen you these days, but your health is better."
Qi Mengzhu had a comforting smile on his face, "Don't worry, I'm not seriously ill, and don't listen to the nonsense of the doctors in Tongjitang. I'm actually not sick, but I lost some of my true energy in fighting with morphing beasts." That's all. These doctors who don't understand our Taoism will naturally say so, so don't take it to heart."
Lu Ming looked at the Taoist nun in front of him, and said after a while: "Okay, then I'll repair the magical artifact for you first, and I'll talk about it after this matter is over." After finishing speaking, he walked out of the shop with the yin and yang mirror on the table, Go in the direction of the north of the city.
There is still a distance from the county government to the north of the city, and it takes about half an hour to walk.This side is far away from the city center and relatively backward. There are not a few shops open on the street, and many of them are closed.
And there are only one or two shroud shops here, so the shroud shop mentioned by Qi Mengzhu is naturally very easy to find. After a little effort, Lu Ming found the right shroud shop.
Sitting in the shroud shop was an old man over seventy years old, wearing a long gown, with curly hair. It seemed that he hadn't washed his hair for a long time, and exuded a sour smell.Although he is over seventy years old, his hands and feet are very nimble. He is holding a paper figure that has just formed a skeleton in his hand, and he is pasting it up quickly.
At the entrance of the shroud shop, there are many paper figurines and beautiful Qionglou Yuyu.The space inside is not big, only about [-] square meters, but it is also filled with a lot of raw materials such as paper figurines and bamboo chips.
Seeing a customer coming to the door, the old man gave Lu Ming a shallow smile, continued to work, and said, "Young man, what do you want to buy?"

Chapter 9 and Three
Lu Ming didn't want to waste time by beating around the bush, so he took off the gossip yin and yang mirror from his body, put it in front of the old man, and said solemnly: "Master, my magic weapon is broken, please help me fix it."
The old man collected himself, frowned deeply, and said in surprise: "Bagua Yinyang mirror? Young man, where did you get this thing? I don't think you look like a Taoist priest."
"Old man, do you need to ask the truth about repairing a magic weapon? You just need to repair it, and I will pay you any money."
"Of course not, it's just that this thing is very rare. Seeing this thing is broken, I feel uncomfortable, so I naturally added a few words. But, to tell you the truth, I haven't touched this thing for many years, and the craftsmanship is very unfamiliar. I'm afraid I'll disappoint you." The old man put down the paper figurine in his hand, and touched the Eight Diagrams Yin and Yang Mirror with his callused hands, but it was just a touch, and he didn't make any further moves, for fear that it might break it Same.
Lu Ming felt that the old man was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was so strange. "Old man, it's okay, you just need to repair it, I believe that your craftsmanship has chosen your store, so you can rest assured to repair it."
The old man shook his head, sighed and said, "No, the old man can't fix it, I think you should find another way." He said, gently pushing the gossip yin and yang mirror in front of Lu Ming.
Seeing that the old man was unwilling to accept the job, Lu Ming had no choice but to say: "Old man, I think you want to find out the origin of this magic weapon, so naturally you know what this magic weapon is from. I don't know what's in it. That's right, just tell me."
"Young man, there is a lot of chaos in the city recently. You are not fully holding this thing. I think it's better not to show it, or you will cause a big disaster. As for the origin of this magic weapon, forgive me for my poor eyesight, I really don't know about it. Come on, let's go." The old man stood up gently, first shook his body, stretched his muscles and bones, and then directly took the Bagua Yin and Yang mirror into Lu Ming's hands, pushing him to go out.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Lu Ming suddenly felt as if he smelled something special, but he couldn't tell for a while. "No, old man, what delicious food did you cook at home? Why does it taste so special? I have to see what it is." Before the old man could react, he turned around and went into the house, and quickly came to another room .
I saw that the room was not very big, more than ten square meters, very simple, and there was nothing unique about it.There is a square table on the opposite wall, and there are some offerings and incense candles on the table.On the wall is a portrait of ghosts and ghosts, which looks a bit like a portrait of Zhong Kui, which is daunting.
"Old man, Zhong Kui is actually worshiped in your house, shouldn't it be a fox fairy?" Lu Ming felt very strange. Every household in Huzhong County would hang a portrait of a fox fairy. Believe in the fox fairy, and go to the temple on the mountain at the same time every year to offer incense, very convinced that this magical beast is their patron saint.
The old man turned pale with fright, quickly tore off Zhong Kui's portrait, crumpled it up and threw it into a dark corner, and said in a panic: "Young man, I think you are wrong, how could this old man hang Zhong Kui? Hanging is also hanging fox fairy."
The facts were before his eyes, but the old man refused to admit it, and Lu Ming had nothing to do with him, but this behavior was enough to make him doubt the old man's identity.
He had no choice but to walk out of the room and went to the house where he worked outside. "Okay, old man, since you don't want to, then I have nothing to say. Then you should know who else can repair the magic weapon now."
"Repairing the magic weapon..." the old man muttered in a low voice, "Now that the people who repaired the magic weapon are dead, where else can I find it?"
Lu Ming really couldn't ask the old man for help, so he had to give up the plan, walked out of the house, and came to the street, planning to discuss with Qi Mengzhu before making plans when he went back.
Unexpectedly, just ten meters away, I heard the sound of screams from behind.Lu Ming searched for the sound and found that the screaming place was in the direction of the shroud shop.He took out a pistol from his waist, ran to the door of the shroud shop, and when he rushed into the house, he found that the old man had fallen on the ground, his eyes protruding, as if they were about to explode.
He hurriedly squatted down to check the pulse of the investment. What shocked him was that in a short period of time, the old man had died, his body was cold, and he didn't look like he had just been killed.
It was said that he was killed, but no wound or even a murder weapon could be found on his body. Only a black needle-like wound was found on the old man's forehead, which seemed to be plotted by someone.
Then, there was a series of barking dogs on the street.Lu Ming ran out quickly, wanting to know who killed someone conveniently just ten meters away, and there was still plenty of time to escape.
The barking of dogs resounded throughout the north of the city. Some people came out from the streets and alleys. They were all spectators, but soon they all closed their doors and turned off the lights, as if all this had nothing to do with them.
Lu Ming chased along the place where the dog was barking, and chased all the way to the north of the city, and came to the suburbs, but he still couldn't catch up with him.What makes him strange is that the smell that he smelled in the old man's house just now came out all the way during his pursuit. It must be the smell of the murderer, and he is sure that the murderer was already in the house at that time, waiting for him to leave Do it later.
"Damn it, who wants to kill the owner of a shroud shop?" Lu Ming didn't dare to go any further, starting from here he was about to enter the dense forest.The murderer he thought of was the transfigured beast, and only the transfigured beast could kill people like this, otherwise ordinary people would not have such ability.
After chasing him all the way, Lu Ming squatted on the side of the road, sweating profusely and panting.He looked around and kept pulling the trigger with his index finger, even if it was a phantom beast, it would shoot if it dared to get close.There are two more of this special bullet, which should be enough for him to injure the opponent and escape successfully.
It was very quiet all around, except for the chirping of insects in the bushes, which was so quiet that it was scary.As a person who has fought many battles, Lu Ming will not be afraid of death, but he is afraid of this kind of creepy environment, and it may even be a phantom beast.
After a long time, there was nothing to scare Lu Ming out of the woods, so he had no choice but to go back home, first to see the old man, and then arrange for him to come over.
The old man's body was still lying on the ground, and the room became colder than before.Lu Ming tried to make the other party close his eyes with his hands, but no matter what he did, he couldn't do it, which made him even more uneasy.

Chapter 9 The Maintenance Old Man Is Dead
He went to the street and found a clinic opened by foreigners, which had a telephone.After repeated requests, the outpatient clinic just let him in. After calling the county government and the adjutant, he returned to the shroud shop again.
In less than half an hour, Adjutant Qiu Jiu arrived with a squad of soldiers and two foremen.
"Adjutant, hurry up and ask Wu Zuo to check to see whether it is man-made or a strange beast." This is what Lu Ming must confirm at present.If it is man-made, the case is not difficult, and the case can be solved even if it takes a little time.But if the strange beast is causing trouble, there is no way to tell the time clearly.
There are two people in Wu Zuo, one is younger, about 30 years old, a man, he looks a little rough, very sloppy, and his beard can pierce people to death.The other was a bit older, probably in his fifties.This is the best person Huzhong County can find to do this job.
This is the tragedy of small cities, the lack of talents, coupled with repeated battles, many of them died on the battlefield, and more of them left their homes and went to places where they thought they would be safe.
However, these two gangsters were quick to operate. When examining the corpse, Lu Ming could tell that they were professionals.
During the inspection of the dead body, Lu Ming took his aides to investigate the scene, not letting go of even the slightest clues.
After a whole night of tossing, the survey work here was just finished in the early morning of the next day after the sun came out.Lu Ming yawned a few times, feeling a little out of sorts.He ordered a squad of soldiers to bring Qi Mengzhu to the county government office. After all, it is estimated that the county government office is out, and other places are not very safe.
He returned to the office and rearranged the report that he had surveyed overnight, trying to sort out his thoughts and see what happened last night.
Qi Mengzhu heard that the old craftsman in the north of the city had died, so he met Lu Ming directly to find out what was going on.
"Captain Lu, I just asked you to help me repair the magic weapon. Why did this old craftsman die?" A magic weapon is broken, as long as you find him, it can be perfectly repaired.
"I don't know. The old man is unwilling to repair it. He wanted to drive me away, so I had no choice but to leave the shroud shop. I didn't expect to hear screams just a few steps away. When I came back, I found that the person was already dead."
Qi Mengzhu couldn't figure it out, "Who will this old craftsman offend, and he will be killed."
"That's not clear, but I'm a little strange. When I went to the shroud shop, I smelled a very strange smell. After the old man died, I chased out and smelled this smell along the way .”
Qi Mengzhu was startled, and said without hesitation: "What else could it smell like? Naturally, it's the smell of a transformed beast, but it's not right. How did you smell it?"
Except for Taoist priests and aunts, those who have learned Taoism to a certain level have the ability to smell strange beasts.But Lu Ming could do it, which surprised Qi Mengzhu.
"Then I don't know. I want to ask Miss Qi, what is the smell of this transfigured beast?"
