Daming prepares the emperor

Zhu Biao was stunned for a short moment, then randomly evoked a smile that did not change, and said sincerely: "Are you so sure? What if you are not wanted at the Demon Town, I heard that the requirements there are very strict." of."

Zhao Qingya said: "Based on my ability, it is more than enough."

He is really confident. If you say this is looking for a job, then he just stuffed the resume into the boss's mouth, and even opened the boss's eyelids, took a toothpick and asked him to open his eyes. See how good you are.

"It's not impossible." Zhu Biao rubbed the small wine cup in his hand subconsciously, thinking, "I have something to do with the Town Demon Office—of course, it's all because of my master's favor, not necessarily If I can arrange you in, it’s okay to meet the director there.”

"Okay, that's great." Zhao Qingya said happily, "As long as I can meet people."

He said again: "To be honest, I am a person who can enjoy life in Jianghu. Once I go to the government, I will be beaten by others before I finish my three sentences. I really can't bear it."

"It's probably because the people in the government are not used to your kind of Jianghu style." Zhu Biao said, "Leave this matter aside for now. When I return to Yingtian, I will take care of it for you immediately. You should talk about yours first..."

"That's to say, don't worry." Zhao Qingya interrupted him, with a mysterious expression, pointing to the fishing boat below him and said with a smile, "Can you see what's special about this boat?"

Without even looking at it, Zhu Biao said, "Yes."

Those few glances before boarding the boat were enough for him to see the boat through.

"Really?"

"I can see that the main body of the ship is a thousand-year-old piece of lightning-struck wood, which is strong enough to resist evil. The nails that fasten these planks together on the ship are smelted from special metals taken from some evil places. This ship uses A special method has been devised to allow these two things to coexist peacefully, so as to achieve the effect of being neither yin nor yang, neither strong nor soft, able to walk during the day and night, not afraid of the living, and not shy of the dead.”

Zhao Qingya's eyes widened, his jaw almost dropped to the table, and he said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, good eyesight, that's it."

"Then what's the use of it?" Zhu Biao asked, "An ordinary fishing boat can do the same, even without such a big effort. What is the purpose of making it? What's the purpose?"

It's like boiling a pot of water, freezing another pot of water, carefully measuring the temperature, and pouring them together to get warm water. It's so strange that it can be obtained easily in small rivers and streams.

"It's solid!" Zhao Qingya said, "Good materials have yin and yang properties, only by doing so can they be ordinary and strong. If they are strong, they can go to many places."

He took the initiative to explain: "This has something to do with my secret."

The river outside the window of the ship was rushing by, making noises, and the waves hit the sides of the ship, splashing large groups of white foam.

Zhu Biao dragged the salted bean dish over a bit, refilled himself with wine, and got ready to listen to the story.

"About more than ten years ago, I was young and energetic. I didn't have the current ability, but my heart was higher than the sky, and I had a terrible temper." Zhao Qingya spoke in a nostalgic tone, "Because of all kinds of The reason is to provoke a powerful enemy."

"Normal." Zhu Biao said, "No one has an enemy these days."

No enemy is embarrassed to say that he is capable.

For example, old Comrade Zhu with Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, himself with Zhu Wenzheng.Although the latter is a bit reluctant, but let's just say it.

Zhao Qingya said: "I won't talk about the enemy's family, but I will only talk about the person who saved me. She is a female monk with a high level of cultivation."

"She gave you this boat?"

"More than that." Zhao Qingya said, "You should also be able to see that I don't have any mana in my body, right?"

"Ah."

"This sword of mine was also given by her. As long as I carry this sword, I can see evil spirits and cut them."

"That's good." Zhu Biao nodded, "She gave you these, what's the price?"

Zhao Qingya smiled: "I said that this happened more than ten years ago. Ever since she rescued me, I have been waiting for her to order me to do things. I didn't expect that in the past ten years, she has not once I have been looking for me, and I have been wandering in the rivers and lakes."

"So when she came to call me this time, I immediately washed my hands and retired."

Retiring from the rivers and lakes to do the work of catching monsters and ghosts, it is hard to say whether it is really a golden basin to wash away.But Zhu Biao is still concerned about real problems.

"What did she ask you to do?"

"Please let me check someone." Zhao Qingya lowered his voice.

"Who?" Zhu Biao has already gone through all the people he knows in his mind at this moment.

"Gao Bailing."

Zhu Biao immediately stared into Zhao Qingya's eyes. After the Battle of Longwan, they screened the monks around Chen Youliang through various channels of news, and they were able to confirm that it was this person who secretly played tricks that day.

He was the one who used the paper figurine, he was the one who watched the battle, he was the one who helped Chen Youliang escape, and he was the one who caused Xie Ba to be struck by lightning.

Even the murderer who kidnapped Zhu Jingjing may have something to do with him.

Looking at his reaction, Zhao Qingya was startled, secretly thought that he had found the right person by mistake, and immediately asked: "Do you know him?"

"...I haven't seen it, I haven't spoken to it, but I'm familiar with it."

"Then he must have hurt you!" Zhao Qingya quickly came to a conclusion, took out a scroll from his bosom, and unfolded it in front of Zhu Biao.

After the scroll was unfolded, it hung all the way to the deck, and there was even a lot of room. It was winding like a snake, and it was very long. The characters written on it were as small as ants, making it difficult to read.

"I have followed him for three years and recorded all the places he has been to." He pointed to a part of the scroll and said, "But wherever he has been, there will always be strange things about ghosts and ghosts. , it’s all gone.”

Zhu Biao listened carefully, his eyes followed Zhao Qingya's fingers on the paper, and he memorized everything in his heart in a moment.

"There are place names and people's names on it." Zhao Qingya said, "These people are all dead people, people who died when Gao Bailing stayed there."

"I suspect they were turned into ghosts and taken away." The black-clothed swordsman leaned forward, pressed in Zhu Biao's direction, frowned, serious and calm, "This idea may be too whimsical, but I think... ..."

"I think the truth is like this! He must have mastered a way to easily transform people into ghosts!"

If Zou Pusheng was here, he would have excitedly held Zhao Qingya's hand, shaking him like he had jumped off a building, then sternly affirmed his statement, praised his wisdom, and praised him with seven or eight hundred flowers Come.

But if others are not here, there is no way to prove that the news is true, Zhu Biao and Zhao Qingya can only rely on guesswork.

Zhao Qingya asked: "Do you think this is possible?"

Zhu Biao said in the next second: "Yes."

"You don't believe it..." Zhao Qingya's eyes widened, "Do you believe it?"

"There are so many strange things in the world, there is nothing impossible."

"Okay!" Zhao Qingya patted the table again, shaking the salty beans again, "Then I'll continue talking to you!"

"Since the ghost has been taken away, it will definitely be arranged to live in one place." Zhao Qingya said, "I have heard from various people that if the situation permits and the geographical location is special enough, it will be held at dusk every day." At that time, you can see a ghost town. There is a huge plaque hanging on the ghost town, and the nomination is Fengdu."

"In our folklore, there are black and white impermanence, the king of Hades, and the bull's head and horse face. Although everyone knows that this is not true, similar stories are also made up."

Zhu Biao said: "Yes."

"It's different this time." Zhao Qingya seemed to have Lan Fatty's pocket in his arms, and he couldn't finish it, so he took out another piece of paper money, "Look, this is not a coin from a living person. It came from that ghost town!

Zhu Biao took the things over.

The paper money is pale in color, small in size, and ordinary in shape, imitating copper coins with square holes, but it is cold to the touch, like a piece of iron.

A faint yin qi spilled out along it.

There is nothing special about this ghost coin, and the fact that it exudes yin energy means that it must have been touched by many ghosts.

Reasoning in the world of living people, if something that has been touched by many people can overflow when touched, it must be money.

"This shows that the ghost city really exists." Zhao Qingya said, "Maybe it is Gao Bailing's lair, and my goal is to find it."

Zhu Biao quickly went through the matter, and felt that Zhao Qingya didn't seem to be lying, and the logic was self-consistent without any flaws.

He probably joined the Zhenyao Office to get information about Gao Bailing—but unfortunately, they don’t collect much information there, but in terms of basic information processing, Comrade Zhu has household registration information and population flow in his hands, so it must be stronger than him.

"You told my master that you were going to catch a demon. What's going on?" Zhu Pun pointed at the table, "Gao Bailing and I do have a grudge. If you want to find him, I can help, but this last doubt, you have to say clear."

"Hmm." Zhao Qingya rubbed his chin, "Is this... My benefactor has something urgent to deal with recently, it seems that something happened to her old friend. So she asked me to deal with the monster that suddenly appeared in the river."

"Old friend?"

"Her old friend lives in Wuchang City. That is Chen Youliang's territory. I know that Gao Bailing is serving him. There may be something involved in it, but I don't know the details."

"Then is this monster related to Gao Bailing?"

"I don't know, she didn't say." Zhao Qingya spread his hands and shrugged, "Whatever it is, just catch it, just follow orders, you will get tired if you think too much."

Zhu Biao had already cleaned out the inventory in Zhao Qingya's stomach, and was satisfied enough, so he stopped asking.He didn't plan to talk about Feng Duling's matter, no matter how harmless this person is, he still needs to be observed.

"I've told you everything." Zhao Qingya said, "Little friend, I will leave after I send you guys to Hongdu. As for Yingtian, I don't know when I will go. I will come to you when the time comes. Can you Don't deny it, give me a contact address?"

"No, I'll give you this." Zhu Biao took a gold-edged wood-wrapped sign and gave it to him, "You will tell me my name when the time comes."

Zhao Qingya took the things and looked at them, then put them in his sleeves and put them away.

And Zhang Zhong, who was sitting outside, actually caught a fish, and he didn't know how he did it without bait or hook.

He threw the fish to the excited Ju Fei, walked in with the fishing rod on his shoulders, hooked Zhou Dian with his feet, hooked him to the side of the boat like kicking a football, and sat down where he was lying.

Zhou Dian was dragged there, but he still didn't wake up. He turned over and faced the board, lying there with his messy hair hanging down, and continued to sleep soundly.

Zhang Zhong straightened his sleeves and felt that he was doing well after catching a fish. He stroked his beard and asked, "Are you done chatting? Do you have any wine?"

He was just a wild crane, and he didn't care about anything except Zhu Biao. Even if he heard their conversation clearly and knew that someone was going to make such a conspiracy, he didn't care much.

It's more important to have a sip of wine first.

At this moment, the sky suddenly changed.Thunder and lightning flashed in the air, and the raindrops fell down, each drop was like a knife, cold and cruel, the size of a soybean, and was thrown into the river in an instant.

Ju Fei, who was squatting on the outermost side eating fish, was drenched before he could react.

A withered vine protruded from the water, swift as lightning, wrapped around Ju Fei's tail, and dragged it out of the fishing boat.

"boss---"

It only had time to let out a shrill scream, scratched a few times in the air, and then sank into the darkness.
