Chapter 62 Such Morality

When the bright moon was pulled up to the sky, Chen Jiu used the mirror flower water moon to make a bamboo hat, covered it on his head, and wandered slowly in the city.

The capital city of Nanshao is indeed extremely prosperous. The night is full of lights, feasting, and people's voices. It seems to be more lively than during the day, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going.

Chen Jiu bought a bunch of candied haws and ate them as he walked. His Taoist robe really acted as a great deterrent, and the pedestrians around him avoided him.

Chen Jiu also happened to try to be quiet, lying on the railing of the lake in the city, looking into the distance.

In the center of Nanshao's capital, there is a huge tower mansion. Chen Jiu counted it carefully. It should have seven floors, each of which is extremely high, adding up to about a hundred meters.

Outside the tower, the lights are brilliant.

Chen Jiu counted his own candied haws, there were exactly seven, no more, no less, he smiled, and ate the top one.

Not bad, very sweet.

He was in a better mood, and strolled slowly along the riverside. Most of the ferryboats in the lake had small canopy lights, and an old dark boatman was rowing at the bow. The person sitting in it was probably the wanderer who was playing, talking and drinking. .

Chen Jiu just strolled around for a while, then went back to the guest room of the restaurant. There was already someone waiting for him at the door. It was a kind old man dressed in white shirt. He saluted Chen Jiu respectfully, and said slowly.

"Really, there is an evil spirit in the city, the city lord has no choice but to ask the real person to subdue this evil spirit."

The old man straightened up slightly, looked at Chen Jiu again, and said with a flattering smile: "Of course, the city lord respects the real Daomai. If the real person really has something to do and it's inconvenient, it's okay."

Chen Jiu thought that eating and living for free would not be good, so he agreed without hesitation, and told the old man to take him there quickly while it was still early so that he could come back to sleep.

The old man smiled, "Don't be in a hurry, real person, it's not some difficult evildoer, just go tomorrow as early as possible."

Chen Jiu didn't force it, and went into the guest room to sleep peacefully.

After Chen Jiu closed the door, the old man got up leisurely, shook his sleeves, and walked slowly in the dark corridor, whispering softly.

"Chongshou...a real person."

The Taoist name is unclear, and I have never heard of it. It seems that it should not be a Taoist priest around the capital of Nanshao. The record of the soldier is also unknown, and he is a monk of the five realms. It is worth noting.

The city lord can't tolerate any disturbances in the city, everything must be orderly.

In the early morning of the next day, the old man was already outside the door, holding a side of the document, knocked on the door, and waited respectfully.

After Chen Jiu finished washing, he put on his bamboo hat and went out.

The old man looked at it, a little puzzled, and asked doubtfully, "Really, where is your magic weapon?"

Chen Jiu was taken aback, then raised his hand, spread out his five fingers, and said solemnly: "This is my magic weapon for Chongshou Daoist."

In fact, it is not wrong.

The old man was slightly stunned, feeling that the matter of the magic weapon was indeed bizarre, and there were all kinds of things. He didn't doubt that there was him, so he led Chen Jiu.

The two went to the street and went to the place where evil spirits were haunted. During the period, the old man also talked about this incident to Chen Jiu.

It is said that there is a rich family in the north of the city. At first, the only daughter in the family suddenly became seriously ill. Many doctors were called to come to see her. She also took the medicine, but there was nothing she could do. Later, some Taoists were invited to cast spells to ward off evil spirits, but it was really effective. That girl is good. a lot.

But five days later, the woman suddenly died without any warning. Afterwards, it seemed that a plague spread in the mansion, but only the relatives of the woman got sick. Fortunately, no one has died yet, waiting for the real person to come to subdue the demon.

Chen Jiu frowned, and silently took off the bamboo hat. He connected with "Flower in the Mirror, Moon in Water", and simulated it in his mind, and it became a mask, and when worn on his face, it just happened to cover his handsome face.

The old man was puzzled and asked, "What does the real person mean?"

Chen Jiu said seriously: "A mask or a ventilator, you always choose between the two."

He was silent for a while, and then said: "I suggest you wear one too. It is everyone's responsibility to prevent the epidemic."

The old man was at a loss, didn't know what he meant, and didn't answer, he just led the way honestly in front, and he arrived at the mansion soon after walking.

The streets here are empty, and there are very few pedestrians. Most of them pass by and stay away from the mansion.

The perimeter of the mansion is separated by erected fences, clearly dividing it from the outside.

Chen Jiu nodded in admiration, "You did a good job in isolation."

The old man carefully opened the wooden fence, and replied: "The real man is joking."

This wooden railing is just a way to comfort the heart, whether it is useful or not, in fact, passers-by around know it in their hearts.

The old man led the way, Chen Jiu followed, and walked in slowly. There were a few tall trees standing up inside, blocking some sunlight, so it felt colder than outside.

There were still several servants coming and going in the mansion. When they met the old man and Chen Jiu, they hurriedly bowed down and saluted. Among them, they looked at Chen Jiu with surprise and hope in their eyes.

The Taoist savior has arrived.

Waiting for the servants to leave, the old man explained softly to Chen Jiu: "These servants have received a lot of money to serve the family in the mansion, and they also live in the mansion and do not go out."

The old man shook his head slightly, "It's really about money or life."

Chen Jiu kept silent, followed the old man all the way to the center of the mansion, entered a large guest room, there was already a middle-aged man in brocade clothes waiting, saw the two of them, and was about to greet them in a hurry, when he suddenly stopped and coughed violently for two times Noisy, spit out saliva, it was bloody!

The middle-aged man looked sad and kowtowed to Chen Jiu, "Help, Taoist priest!"

Everyone in his family has this strange disease, if one is not good, the species will be extinct!

The old man said lightly: "Get up, the real person is here now to subdue the demon."

He looked at Chen Jiu again, flatteringly said: "What do you think of the real person?"

Chen Jiu nodded, "No problem."

He pressed down on the middle-aged man's head, grabbed it directly, his green eyes glowed with a faint golden light, staring intently at the middle-aged man's pupils, "Get out."

The middle-aged man's face was terrified, his body was twitching crazily, and a large amount of black smoke was boiling and crackling from his body.

The black smoke slowly condensed and turned into a fuzzy ghost, no different from a human being. At this time, the face was also extremely frightened, with a long mouth and continuous wailing, which seemed to be crying.

The old man was horrified, and hurriedly said to Chen Jiu: "The real man is quick to subdue the demon!"

The ghost suddenly raised its head, its face turned fierce, and using both hands and feet, it got up from the ground and rushed towards Chen Jiu.

He was smashed apart by Chen Jiu's punch.

The old man took a deep breath, patted his chest in fear, and exclaimed: "The real person is really amazing!"

The symptoms of the middle-aged man also gradually improved, and wept with joy. He was grateful to Chen Jiu, and gave Chen Jiu a hundred taels of silver as a small thank you gift.

Chen Jiu did his best, so he accepted the silver tael with peace of mind and put it in the purple gold gourd.

When the old man saw Chen Jiuzi's golden gourd, his pupils shrank again, he laughed twice, and said that after this evil spirit was subdued, he would go to record it and report to the adults in the city that he could not spend more time with the real person, forgive him.

Chen Jiu looked at the direction the old man was leaving, frowned, thoughtful.

He put on the bamboo hat again, and walked slowly in the street.

The sky was in the last days of late spring, and it started to rain lightly, pattering, which was very in line with the posture of spring rain.

Passers-by held up oil-paper umbrellas, and those without umbrellas walked under the eaves. When they encountered an open space, they quickened their pace and hurried to another eaves.

Chen Jiu walks in the rain, and the bamboo hat can keep out the rain.

He stopped suddenly.

In the rain not far away, there was a little dark girl in ragged clothes, sitting in a puddle, with a skinny puppy beside her, who was as thin as the little girl.

The unattractive girl looks even more sloppy when she is stained with dirt.

She looked at the passers-by with a flattering face, expectant face, once someone threw coins in front of her, she immediately kowtowed and bowed, her little head was buried directly in the mud puddle, her cheeks were dirty, and her hair was dyed. dirty.

It's a look of being extremely grateful.

The puppy next to him barked uncomfortably.

Later, the rain became heavier, and the passers-by around were in a hurry. Seeing that no one had lost the coins for a long time, the little girl hugged the puppy and hurried into an alley.

The alley was deep, and at the bottom, the little girl suddenly threw the dirt dog to the ground, kicked it hard, and said angrily, "If you keep barking, I'll kill you and eat you!"

The puppy howled and whined, not daring to make any movement.

The little girl looked at it and said bitterly, "Little beast!"

She turned her head abruptly.

At the entrance of the alley, a figure in a bamboo hat wearing Taoist robes stood quietly.

The little girl looked terrified, and ran away quickly, regardless of the puppy.

The puppy is still following the little girl.

Chen Jiu lowered the bamboo hat slightly, pursing the corners of his mouth.

Look, such a world.
