Mortal Mirror

Bai Su and the others were welcomed into the驿站 (a kind of ancient post office), where Li Ergou found a large table and ordered a lot of dishes. Everyone ate and talked.

Li Ergou then learned that Bai Su and the others had encountered robbers and demons along the way, making their journey quite difficult. They were all extremely envious when they heard about his carefree journey.

The next day, Li Ergou took Bai Su and Ye Wanwan out for a stroll early in the morning. To be honest, it was Bai Su's first time in Baojing Prefecture.

The prefecture was huge, with many places to visit.

He led the two women to the shore of Xiaoye Lake, visited the Biluo Temple, and then went to Tianjiu Tower for a luxurious meal.

After they had their fill, he took them to find Wu the Immortal.

It was afternoon, and the weather was hot. There were not many people at Wu the Immortal's stall, and he was yawning listlessly.

Seeing him like this, Li Ergou led the two women up to him.

"Hey, hey, Wu the Immortal, what's wrong? Business is bad?"

Wu the Immortal opened his eyes, saw that it was Li Ergou, and then saw Bai Su and Ye Wanwan. He perked up and said, "You brat, where have you been these past few days? Why haven't you come to sit with me?"

Li Ergou chuckled and said, "I'm here now, aren't I? This is my colleague, Bai Su."

Wu the Immortal glanced at Bai Su, and his eyes lit up. "Oh, amazing! I see that this lady's bone structure is extraordinary. Especially with the purple light emerging from the corner of your brow, it seems that it won't be long before you fly up to a high branch and transform into a phoenix.

It looks like you're about to have great luck, and there's a traveling star moving above your brow bone. It seems that you're going to travel far away from home today, to a place that is very, very far away."

Bai Su had thought that Wu the Immortal was just a con artist, but after hearing his prediction, she thought he had some ability. After all, once she went to the Prince of Zhenbei, her status would be extraordinary.

And after the World's First Martial Arts Tournament, she would leave this place.

She couldn't help but ask, "Old sir, can you tell if I will be able to return in the future?"

"Return? Alas, it depends on fate. Where is there anything absolute in this world?"

Li Ergou also sighed. He didn't expect that Wu the Immortal was really capable, actually calculating that Bai Su was going to travel far away. Now Wu the Immortal was really confusing in Li Ergou's mind. On the one hand, he felt that he was a big liar, and on the other hand, he felt that he had some ability.

Ye Wanwan became interested after hearing their conversation and insisted that Wu the Immortal take a look at her. Wu the Immortal just smiled and told her, "Little girl, the future is promising. I can't say, I can't say."

Ye Wanwan was speechless, feeling that Wu the Immortal was just a big liar.

Bai Su wanted to ask some more questions, but at that moment, there was a commotion on the street. They saw a few horses galloping wildly on the street, ignoring the pedestrians on the street, causing chaos.

Countless people scattered when they saw this scene, but at this moment, a small monk wearing cloth clothes, carrying a light-shielding cage, and barefoot was standing there without moving.

The horse ran in front of the monk, only a few feet away from him, and suddenly stood up, making a roaring sound.

The little monk was calm and at ease, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.

The horse calmed down, and the strong man on the horse was immediately enraged. "Damn fellow, don't you know to get out of the way? You're delaying my good business. I'll beat you to death."

As he spoke, the strong man raised the whip in his hand and lashed it at the little monk.

At that moment, a large hand grabbed the whip in mid-air, and then Li Ergou's voice was heard, "Who do I think is so bold? It turns out to be Head Constable Xiong Ba.

Didn't you see that this little monk was almost trampled to death by you? What are you doing, bullying people with your status? Are you capable? I'm going to the yamen to sue you for bullying others, or oppressing good people."

Xiong Ba looked at Li Ergou, his eyes flashing with anger. "Li Ergou, it's you again? Do you particularly want to be against me?"

"Be against you? What a joke. I'm just upholding justice."

Li Ergou then looked at the little monk and said, "This master, I'm sorry you were frightened. If you don't mind, come with me. I'll treat you to a meal later to calm your nerves."

The little monk had red lips and white teeth. He looked at Li Ergou, slightly puzzled. He didn't know why the person in front of him wanted to help him out of trouble, but it was all good intentions, so he nodded and said, "Thank you, Daoist friend."

In fact, if Li Ergou hadn't taken action, the little monk would have also taken action to teach the arrogant guy in front of him a lesson. And who was this little monk? It turned out that he was no ordinary person, but the blue turtle that came from the same place as the White Lotus Karmic Fire.

He transformed into a human form and named himself Jiutian. That day, after he came out, he went straight to Baojing Prefecture. He just arrived here and encountered this kind of thing.

It was his first time in the world, and he didn't know much about many things. He just thought that the person just now was too domineering.

Who would have thought that before he could take action, he would be stopped by another person. After his judgment, this Li Ergou should be a good person.

Everyone doesn't need to feel that Li Ergou is a chivalrous person. It was really because Wu the Immortal said a word to Li Ergou just now that made him take action without hesitation.

It turned out that as soon as this little monk came out, Wu the Immortal saw through his origins, but this monk was powerful, and the demon power on his body was very weak. If Wu the Immortal's cultivation was not strong, he would not be able to see through this person's true form.

Then he pinched his fingers and calculated, only to find that this little monk had some fate with Li Ergou. Therefore, he told Li Ergou that this little monk might be entangled with him in the future, so it would be better to get along well.

He also told Li Ergou that this little monk was no ordinary person, but a transformed demon. If he was provoked, this demon would go crazy and cause great harm to the surrounding people. At that time, he didn't know how many people would die.

Although Li Ergou didn't believe what Wu the Immortal said about being entangled, if this person was a demon, then there was nothing to say. If this guy was provoked and went crazy, who knew what unimaginable consequences would be caused?

As a head constable, he naturally didn't want to see anyone die from collateral damage.

Therefore, he took action.

Xiong Ba looked at Li Ergou, his eyes almost spitting out anger, but at this moment he was surrounded by countless people, and it would be very unsightly if they fought.

He could only snort coldly and say, "Li Ergou, I've remembered you. When the time comes, we'll meet on the arena."

Li Ergou was naturally not afraid of him. What was surprising was that not only did he not let go, but he also continued, "You scared this master, so give some compensation. In this way, I can talk to the master."

"You..."

"You what? Hurry up and give money, otherwise, don't even think about leaving. Is there no law in Baojing Prefecture? Do you think you can be lawless just because you are a head constable? We might as well let the folks judge."

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately started talking at once.

Public opinion is a force to be reckoned with. Xiong Ba was not a fool to become the chief constable, so he naturally understood the principle that public opinion is a force to be reckoned with.

He suppressed his anger, took out a small bag from his body and threw it to Li Ergou, his voice with a fierce color, "Li Ergou, I will never let you go."

Then, he tightened the reins and left with his men.

Li Ergou weighed the small bag in his hand and snorted coldly, "Consider yourself to know what's good for you."

Xiong Ba trembled all over, and hated Li Ergou to the core.

At this time, Li Ergou turned around and handed the money bag to the little monk and said, "I don't know the master's name yet. My name is Li Ergou."
