I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 52

After resting for a while at the intersection of Xiaocun, Master Xun called everyone back on the road, the wheels of the carriage creaked, and the team continued towards the direction of Fucheng.

It was the scorching sun, and Song Mu couldn't sit still in the carriage, so he simply got out of the carriage, rolled up his robes, and walked along wanderingly. Occasionally, he met one or two farmers and woodcutters on the road, and they all saluted each other.

When the common people saw that the people in this convoy were all dressed as scholars, they naturally knew that this was a team going to take the exam, and they treated them respectfully at the moment. Even when they passed by some villages, children followed behind and booed, and village elders came out to ask questions. Do you need help.

Master Xun refused one by one and urged the convoy to speed up, and finally arrived at a post station in a small town before sunset.

This small town is called Qiantian Town. The town is not big, and the post house is also set up at the intersection. It is managed by an old couple and their son and daughter-in-law.

Master Xun took out his badge for raising people, and handed over the money for food and lodging. The couple hurriedly invited everyone to enter the post house, and dozens of people immediately filled the post house.

Song Mu was helping to stop the carriage in the courtyard, unloaded the carriage with the old coachman, and then took the accompanying bedding to the wing room in the courtyard on the other side.

"Brother Kong, tonight we're going to sleep together."

"Haha, it's okay, this kind of experience is quite novel, but I don't know if Kong will snore in the middle of the night, so don't disturb you, brother Song."

Kong Zong took the bedding from Song Mu's hand, tidied up the bed boards with several children, and spread mattresses on the Datong berth.

Song Mu also stepped forward to help. This is a Datong shop six or seven meters long, and it can accommodate a dozen people. It's also quite clean, so everyone didn't dislike it too much.

"My lords have been wronged all night. The kitchen is preparing dinner. After dinner, there will be hot water. You can also soak your feet and rest."

The person who spoke was the owner of the inn, an old man in his sixties, wearing coarse clothes, but still very clean.

While talking, the old man's grandson also came in holding two oil lamps and put them on the table.

Song Mu also bowed his hands at the moment: "Thank you, old man, today can be regarded as bothering you."

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way, if you guys have any needs, just tell the old man, the old man will definitely try his best to do it."

For these scholars, the old man is still very respectful, and even more diligent in taking care of them.

After the old man left, Song Mu helped to pack the bedding, and went to the courtyard of the post house. The scholars were washing up. After walking for a day in this hot weather, everyone was sweating.

Fortunately, the yard is full of men, and they have no scruples.

Song Mu walked out of the courtyard, and there was a bamboo forest on one side of the post house. The evening wind blew in, and there was a slight fragrance of grass and trees.

Song Mu glanced around for a week, looking at the small town separated by several farmlands on one side of the road. At this moment, smoke was rising from the kitchen in the small town, and the setting sun fell from one side on the rice fields that had just been planted with the second crop of rice, reflecting a golden color.

Such rural scenery is refreshing.

But soon, this tranquility was broken by a few men who came out of the town.

"Second brother Huang, not at home!"

The leading man in rough clothes yelled towards the posthouse, and the men behind him also yelled quickly. Although each was holding tools, there was no vicious and angry expression on his face, and neither did Song Mu. How nervous you are.

On the contrary, when these people came, they saw Song Mu scholar dressed up, and saw many scholars coming in the posthouse. They all looked a little stunned, restrained their hurried appearance, and arched their hands towards Song Mu. Just walked into the courtyard.

A few people walked into the courtyard next to them, and there were voices of conversation in it.

"Second Brother Huang, what are you thinking about? Let's go find out the truth tonight."

"Boss Wu, I'm afraid I'm going to hang up today. There are so many talented people here. My father and mother are too busy. Let's talk about it in a few days."

"That won't work. Why don't I ask my mother-in-law to come over and help. We've discussed this matter a long time ago. If something goes wrong, who knows if we can catch it next time."

"That's right, Second Brother Huang, that monster has injured our people several times. Two days ago, Granny Song went to the mountain to pick and dig herbs, and she was also injured by that guy. Now she can't even move her legs."

There were conversations from several people in the other courtyard, but Song Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

These guys seem to be going up the mountain to hunt monsters?

This moment aroused Song Mu's interest, and he walked over at the same time. In the yard, a strong man with a face similar to that of old man Huang was chopping pig bones with all his strength.

"Brothers, I'm afraid it's going to be really bad today. All the talented scholars are going to rush for the exam. If we neglect it, we can't afford it."

"Second brother, it's not that troublesome, just go and help me set traps and traps. We are from all over the world, who knows that you are the best at setting traps."

"If this matter is accomplished, there will be a lot of rewards, second brother, don't refuse."

The leading man was still persuading him, but the second brother Huang also seemed to hesitate for a moment, looking into the room, the old man Huang came out, wiped his hands with his apron, stretched out his hand and nodded.

"Let's go. The monster is harming the village. It's better to get rid of it earlier. The work here is almost done. The few of us can finish it."

Having said that, those men were also smiling, and then Boss Wu said suddenly.

"But Second Brother Huang, this time you take this. I asked for it from Mr. Meng in our town. This monster seems to have changed recently. This thing can keep us safe."

Song Mu was standing at the gate of the courtyard at the moment, and saw that the man who was the leader put a thin white paper in Huang Erge's hand at this moment.

Song Mu naturally knew that thing, it was a poem written by a scholar with literary power, which can be stimulated in a passive environment, and he also has it in himself, but it was written by Master Xun, and its power is stronger.

There are almost literati stationed in the towns and villages outside the county seat, most of them are old scholars and children, who are in charge of the articles on eliminating demons and suppressing demons written by the county town every year to protect the safety of one side.

"This...why is it suddenly like this? Is that thing so powerful?" Second Brother Huang frowned immediately when he saw the paper in his hand.

The leader, Boss Wu, said hastily.

"Who knows? Didn't Liu Orion, who lived in Xi Village a few days ago, also meet him? He said that the monster is very evil now, and even led him to a stone wall that he didn't know where. It’s exquisite, but there are evil spirits hiding inside, and all of Liu Orion’s dogs were eaten.”

"So we'd better be careful."

Second brother Huang nodded when he heard this, but Song Mu walked in at the moment and spoke immediately.

"Heroes, I don't know what the stone wall you are talking about is?"

Suddenly hearing someone talking, several people turned their heads and saw Song Mu, who was dressed as a scholar, walking over, and they immediately bowed their hands.

"Young master, we have also heard about it."

"Is it the method of the monster?" Song Mu asked, and several people looked at each other, feeling a bit embarrassed at the moment, but Boss Wu still spoke.

"It should be, Liu Orion said that day, the monster ran extremely fast, and went out more than ten meters in the blink of an eye, dodging among the mountains, almost confused him, and finally stopped in front of a rock wall. The monster sneaked in from one side, and Liu Orion was about to step forward, but the hounds under him rushed out first, and even jumped into the stone wall."

"Then there was a barking of a dog, and blood gushed out from the place where the hound had just entered. Liu Orionu pulled the hound's rope, and only pulled out a boned dog corpse."

"It's more than that. Liu Liehu said that when he looked at the stone wall, he only felt that there were fairies floating on it, and he was almost lost. If it wasn't for another hound biting his trouser leg, he would have almost caught fire. Got it."

"Hiss, is this thing so weird?"

Several people talked in a hurry, Song Mu frowned at the moment, but raised his head and asked.

"Do you know where that stone wall is?"
