Talk about the world of mortals in detail

After paying homage to the Lord of the Land, Taoist Xue's mental state at this moment was completely different from before.

Taoist Xue straightened his clothes, put away his bamboo tube, bit into his mouth the half of the steamed bun he had not finished, then picked up the wooden box and strode towards the direction of Haiyu County.

If Taoist Xue was a little hesitant when he just left the City God's Temple, then at this moment, his whole person was in a state of calmness on the surface but a little excitement on the inside, or in other words, excitement.

After all, I thought I was going to die before. Even if I choose to escape in the end, I will still be left with a knot in my heart, and I will inevitably feel uneasy and self-blame for the rest of my life.

But this will be very different. Taoist Xue figured out the front and rear joints and connected them one by one, and the result he got was unimaginable by ordinary people.

As Taoren Xue walked, he reviewed everything from noon to now.

In the City God's Temple, the third question from the Lord City God seemed to be that he broke the bamboo stick, but in fact he asked me to take away a bamboo stick. He must have cast a spell to help. If the bamboo stick is broken, it cannot be established!

On the street in the county town, Mr. Yu led me here with a song, letting me know where the bamboo stick was, and even pointed me to the Earth Temple!

In front of the Tutu Temple, the small temple was being renovated. Tu Tu Gong himself showed up to give guidance and explain some of the causes and consequences!

Not to mention the excitement brought about by Xue Daoren's first real encounter with gods in his life, these few things before and after were enough to give him a sense of destiny, and even more powerful gods came to help him.

Taoist Xue's pace gradually quickened, with one hand holding the backpack and the other clenching his fist in his sleeve.

Yes, this is indeed a calamity for me, Xue Yuan, but if you think about it from another perspective, is this not an opportunity for me, Xue, in my practice?

And it’s not like I’m clueless now!

Mr. Xue was about to return to the city. Things had to be done step by step. His first step was to return to the gate of the official residence on the side of the county government office.

The government officials on duty here recognized Taoist Xue. After all, only half a day had passed. This Taoist was quite impressive, so when he saw him coming, one of them even asked with a smile.

"Taoist priest, did you leave something behind at the county government office?"

Upon hearing this, Taoist Xue hurriedly approached and continued.

"Yes, yes, Pindao has left something extremely important. Can you allow Pindao to go in and retrieve it?"

As he said that, Taoist Xue was about to go inside, but was immediately stopped by two government officials.

"Oh, I said, did you let me in?"

The other person also laughed.

"I said, sir, do you think this is your home? Just come in as soon as you say so?"

"Well, what should we do? Why don't you bother me to go and inform the county's wife? This doesn't mean anything and is not respectful!"

While Taoist Xue was speaking, he took a few steps closer, took out two small ingots of silver and handed them over. The two yamen servants looked around and came closer. They raised their heads and looked away, but stretched out their hands.

The thing sank slightly in his hand. The two yamen servants looked at each other and smiled. They weighed the feeling in their hands. They had to have one or two, it was not a small amount of money!

"Oh, you are such a great Taoist!" "No wonder your cultivation level is so high that my wife is looking for you!"

Taoist Xue also bowed respectfully. After traveling all over the country for so many years, he knew that dealing with people was sometimes more difficult than dealing with ghosts and gods. He had to be tactful when it was time to be tactful!

"Please ask the two gentlemen to make it easier for you!"

"It's easy to talk about. By the way, what was left behind? We can ask you for it!"

"Well"

Taoist Xue thought for a moment and said.

"Just tell Madam or that girl Qiao'er, Pindao missed a few key words and forgot to explain!"

The two government officials were slightly startled when they heard this. They looked at the Taoist and saw that he had a serious look on his face. Then they looked at each other in confusion. Didn't they leave something behind?

"Didn't you really leave something behind emotionally?"

Taoist Xue smiled.

"This is much more serious than actually leaving something behind. Please tell me!"

One of the government officials nodded.

"Just wait, I'll go right away!"

"Thank you very much!"

The yamen servant turned around and left. Taoist Xue and another yamen servant were waiting here. Now the yamen servant's impression of this man had changed somewhat. Of course, the reason was not just the money he received.

Not long after, Qiaoer followed a government servant out with an impatient look.

"It's just ahead, it's just ahead!"

The yamen servants laughed and did not dare to walk too fast, and spoke in a pleasant tone.

Just kidding, this girl Qiao'er is not just the lady's personal maid, but some people heard her voice that night. She might become the concubine of the county magistrate in the future!

Qiaoer walked to the door and looked outside. Daoren Xue was standing there waiting, and she suddenly felt bad.

"Taoist Priest, what can't you say at once? If you don't find it tiring, I'll be tired too, so tell me what's going on!"

"Uh, Pindao wants to talk to Mrs. Guan face to face!"

"伱"

Qiaoer frowned, hesitated but nodded.

"That's all, come with me!"

"yes!"

At this moment, the two government officials did not dare to stop him. Qiaoer turned around and left first. Xue Daoren handed over to the two government officials, and then followed him.

The next time I saw Mrs. Liu was in the pavilion in the garden, and after Taoren Xue came over, he didn't wait for what the other party said, and went straight to the point with his first sentence.

"Mrs. Guan, in what year and month did you and the County Lord officially get married? Can you tell Ping Dao the birth date of the County Lord? How much do you know about the County Lord? Can you tell me in detail?"

There were more than just these questions. Amid Liu and Qiao'er's surprise, Taoren Xue asked many strange questions. What was even stranger was that more of them involved the master than the madam.

When he had no more questions to ask, Taoist Xue said goodbye and left again, giving solemn instructions before leaving.

"Mrs. Guan, Miss Qiao'er, what I asked today must not be told to anyone, including your father-in-law and the county magistrate! Farewell!"

After saying that, Taoist Xue turned around and left without any hesitation. There was a lot to do today!

The matters that came to the county government to ask questions were actually relatively scattered. Xue Daoren knew that Mr. Liu must have many doubts in his heart, but he still did not directly reveal the situation he knew.

After all, Mrs. Liu would probably not believe it at this time, and even if she did, it would cause confusion.

As soon as the Taoist left, Liu and Qiaoer frowned and wondered in the pavilion.

——

However, Daoren Xue did not stay in the city. He walked through half of the county and went out from another gate, and hurriedly arrived at the seaport of Haiyu County.

Haiyu County is not a small city, but its seaport is quite large.

It can be said that the location of the harbor is more lively than many places in the city, especially in the morning.

It was already afternoon when Daoren Xue arrived at the port, but it was still lively here. Ships of various sizes were loading and unloading, and there were even some fishermen selling some seafood.

Of course, because of this port, it has become the largest market in Haiyu County. Not only seafood, but also local dishes such as chicken, duck, fish and goose are sold here.

The sound of sea breeze and waves serves as the background, which makes the port relatively quiet at this moment.

Taoist Xue looked around and walked towards the market a little further inside.

Of course, the freshest seafood is sold by fishermen on the pier in their boats. But if you want to buy some seafood at this time in the afternoon, the market here is the only one. Although it is called a market, it is actually a gathering place for many stalls.

"Hey, Taoist Priest, please buy something, my fish is still fresh!" "Taoist Priest, take a look at the snails, there are mussels and clams!"

Taoist Xue walked to a stall selling shellfish and pointed to one at random.

"Come on a pound."

"Okay, they're all alive!"

An old man at the stall took a small bamboo frame, filled it with shellfish, and weighed it, and Taoist Xue also started chatting with him.

"When I passed by this place, I heard people talking about it, saying that there was someone selling dragon scales here a while ago?"

The old stall owner smiled.

"That's right. Who doesn't know here? The dragon scale seller has made a fortune. The Dragon King rewards him with food. Oh, it's so enviable!"

A man at the stall next to him couldn't help but interrupt.

"Who says it's not the case? I heard they sold hundreds of taels in total?"

Someone else interrupted on the other side.

"Nonsense, there's more to it than that. I heard that one scale can be sold for hundreds of taels, and there are three of them!"

"Hey, Taoist Priest, look, one pound and three cents, my little bamboo basket weighs three cents! A total of twenty cents!"

After the old man finished weighing the shells, Taoist Xue took out his money bag and began to count the coins while continuing to chat with others.

"As a poor practitioner, I feel very sorry to hear this. I don't know who is selling the dragon scales!"

"Li Laosan!" "Yes, from Bailang Village. I heard that people from Bailang Village are going to sea to catch dragon scales these days, and many people from other villages are following."

"That's right, there's been less seafood lately, so they're all fishing for dragon scales!"

When talking about this, people at some stalls nearby became chatty, and other customers who came to buy also chatted with them.

"Yes, yes, our family members are also joining in the fun. These people are really like that. Is it so easy to get dragon scales?"

"That's right, and I doubt that Li Laosan is not telling the truth and easily telling others about the place where he got dragon scales? I wouldn't tell others!"

"Oh, you didn't know that the government came to the door and insisted that the Li family go fishing again. Only then did word spread. Otherwise, what would Li Lao San say?"

"That's true, why don't the common people fight against the officials?"

Taoren Xue listened on the side, counted the money, handed it to the old man to go to Beizi, said "Thank you" and left. As soon as he left, the discussion among the stalls over there did not stop.

A straw rope was tied to the top of the small flat basket, carrying a pound of black shellfish, and Taoist Xue's mind was spinning rapidly.

What you heard just now is enough. Combined with the hint from the Earth God, it seems that there really is such a thing as dragon scales. It is also strange that there are fishermen who can fish up dragon scales!

He bought another live chicken at the edge of the market. Finally, Xue Daoren carried the things out of the port. It seemed that he felt a lot quieter all of a sudden. He thought as he walked and walked back to the county town.

When I saw the county magistrate in the morning, was that feeling related to the legendary dragon power?

But dragon scales are not a dragon. Can a dead thing that has fallen off still have such power and feeling?

No, the dragon is already a divine creature, how can we always talk about it?

No matter what, it was enough to at least feel at ease for the time being. Xue Daoren was still walking very fast. He did not go anywhere else after entering the city this time, but returned to the house he rented.

This is a house that is only a few feet square when connected to the yard. The house only has one main room and a kitchen on one side. You have to go outside to go to the latrine.

But this is also the home where Xue Daoren has lived in Haiyu County for more than half a year. Because he once helped his employer, the rent is very cheap.

Taoist Xue first went to the kitchen, lit a fire and boiled water, poured the shellfish he bought into it, and then added some firewood so he didn't have to worry about it anymore. This kind of shellfish is also very delicious when cooked in plain water and dipped in soy sauce.

Taoist Xue himself went to the main room, laid out his suitcase, took out many items and put them on the table, including some copper coins, the bag of incense ash, some magical instruments, as well as inkstones, cinnabar, pens, etc. wait.

"Crack-"

The rooster's throat was slit and his blood was drained during his last cry. A bowl of blood was poured into the rooster. The rooster was a bit fierce. After the rooster was bled and thrown outside the door with its wing clamps, it still kept kicking and scratching with its legs.

Taoist Xue kept mixing it in the house, adding cinnabar and other substances, and finally adding the special incense ash to make dark ink to write the spell.

When Taoist Xue was writing, he didn't know that there was a little marten on the beam of his house that was looking down.

Hui Mian looked at the Taoist who was writing down, with a trace of surprise on his face.

It's not that the ink made by Taoist is so special, but that Taoist Xue's talisman is somewhat special, with complicated incantations.

Moreover, the incantation is not a scripted divine incantation, but some special information is added, such as some information about Guan Xinrui, and some more ambiguous information, such as words about so-and-so getting a wife.

Taoist Xue started writing very quickly at this moment, thinking about more than just saving Mr. Liu.

In this situation, God, the natural cycle of retribution is not good, Xue will break it for you to see! ——

PS: Damn, why is it so late today? It will be at the normal time tomorrow!
