I'm on duty in Yinshi

Chapter 581

Overlook from above.

Even in the dim night, one can still see the Yunmeng River winding like a giant dragon, almost embracing the entire Tianbei City, including dozens of counties, towns, townships, and villages below it.

For thousands of years, this great river has fed tens of millions of people.

There are two counties adjacent to Julu, Yaogong County in the north and Guangzong County in the south.

Li Kui sized him up for a while, deep rippling appeared in his eyes, and he began to look for Xu Zhao's trace. Fortunately, he was familiar with the latter's aura. With this as a reference, he found Xu Zhao who was resting in the hotel after a while.

"Hahahaha, this kid."

The next second, he couldn't help laughing out loud. Seeing Xu Zhao lying on the bed depressed, Li Kui knew that he must have returned in vain today and failed to catch the monster.After thinking about it, he immediately jumped down, getting closer and closer to the ground.

Landed majestically in a crowded night market without attracting any attention.He glanced left and right, smelled the smell of meat on the grill, and walked over with a smile.

On the other side, Jiaxin Hotel.

"Oh, it's so annoying."

Xu Zhao stared straight at the ceiling with his eyes wide open, and immediately rolled around on the bed irritably.

In fact, he had already sensed the aura of the monster just now, but it was just a coincidence that he ran into the kidnapping incident. After dealing with the bad guys, when he looked back, there was no trace of the monster!

"Just a little bit!" Until now, he is still unwilling.

"Knock knock knock."

Suddenly, the door was knocked.

"Who is it?"

There was no response, but there were constant knocks on the door. Xu Zhao Liyu straightened up, frowned suddenly as he looked at the door, with a faint white light floating all over his body, he went straight forward and grabbed the doorknob, and opened it forcefully.

Unexpectedly—it was a familiar face.

"Brother Kui!"

"How did you come?"

"Hahaha, I didn't scare you." Li Kui held a beer skewer in his hand, glanced at the white light on his body, and said with a smile, "[Sheng Guang] practiced well, it's interesting."

"Hey, please come in."

Xu Zhao stepped aside, closed the door again when Li Kui came in, and said helplessly, "Brother Kui, I was almost frightened by you. I thought who it was, and you didn't even make a sound when you knocked on the door in the middle of the night."

"Hey, this is not to surprise you."

Snapped,
Li Kui opened the beer can with one hand, took a sip of the cold beer, and said with a smirk, "I originally planned to come in directly through the window, but I thought you might be scared, so I changed it to knock on the door."

"..."

Xu Zhaowei opened his mouth, turned the words he wanted to complain on his lips, and swallowed them back. He simply picked up the stinky tofu on the paper bowl and devoured it: "Thank you Brother Kui for the sponsorship of the skewers."

Immediately, he couldn't help but curiously said: "Brother Kui, you didn't come to see me this time, did you?!" As he spoke, Xu Zhao's mature face couldn't help but quietly gave Li Kui a signal:
Brother Kui, don't covet my beauty.

"Zhao, it's not a good thing to be too confident sometimes." Li Kui patted Xu Zhao's shoulder heavily, and said, "I have a mission to come here this time, and it happens to be near Julu County. look at you."

Xu Zhao nodded thoughtfully:

"Then are you going to leave soon?"

"No, I have something to deal with, so I should stay here for two days." Li Kui leaned lazily on the back of the chair.

Tang Xiyan is missing now, and the possibility that he is in Julu County cannot be ruled out. It will take some time to find him.

Immediately, he looked at Xu Zhao: "Tell me, which monster is it?"

"A 500-year-old cat demon."

Xu Zhao lifted his neck and drank the cold beer in one gulp, scratching his head and recounting what happened just now.

"Do you need me to help you find her?" Li Kui asked after listening.

Xu Zhao immediately shook his head.Seeing him like this, Li Kui said no more: "Okay, take a good rest after eating."

The moon sets and the sun rises.

Early the next morning, Xu Zhao was woken up by the sound of beating gongs and drums and crackling firecrackers. He glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, and it was only five o'clock in the morning.

"Hey, where's Brother Kui?"

Seeing that Li Kui was not in the room, Xu Zhao got up and opened the curtains to look downstairs, his eyes could not help showing novelty.

I saw a large group of people parading across the street. Leading the way were a few people wearing bird feather masks, walking and dancing, with graceful postures. In the middle were dozens of Taoist priests wearing khaki Taoist robes, or chanting Sing scriptures, or blow musical instruments.

The tune is high-pitched and passionate.

People in the streets on both sides poured out the talisman water in the porcelain bowl with the sound of drums.

Mighty, extremely lively.

"What is this doing?"

Seeing this grand occasion, Xu Zhao couldn't help talking to himself curiously, and suddenly noticed Li Kui's figure while looking around.He was squatting on the steps of a noodle shop, talking to an old man.

Xu Zhao blinked, put on his shoes hastily, rushed downstairs, turned right and heard the old man's angry voice after walking a few steps: "Young man, your accent is not local. "

"Yes, Binhai came here to find friends."

Li Kui smelled the smell of cigarettes on the uncle's clothes, smiled and took out the cigarette case from his pocket, shaking his cigarette butt, "It's rare to see such a grand occasion, please tell me about it."

"Boy, you..."

The old man glanced into the noodle shop, took it with a smile, "It's very good." He took a good sip, but was choked, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said, "This is powerful enough.

"Okay, my brother is crazy about how old you are, and I will tell you."

"In our place, it's called Jianghui, and it's also called Zhenping." The old man saw that he was in his early fifties, with thick hair, but a little thinning in the middle, and said cheerfully: "Speaking of it, it has a history of thousands of years. For hundreds of years, it has been jointly organized by the three counties of Julu, Guangzong, and Yaogong, and it is held twice a year."

"That's it."

Li Kui asked curiously: "Why is it called Chu Hui? Is it a story about monsters and gods?"

"No, no, no."

The old man slowly let out a mouthful of thick fog, shook his head and said: "Our place has always been a battleground for military strategists in ancient times. Several battles were fought near Julu, with tens of thousands of people death."

"That resentment is soaring to the sky!"

What the old man said was true, and he said seriously: "Our ancestors, as well as the head teacher of the Taiping Dao, in order to clear away the grievances of those wronged souls, held a ceremony every year to comfort the dead souls."

"It has been going on for hundreds of years without interruption."

As he spoke, he pointed to the Taoist priests who were singing, "Look, they are all Taoist priests of the Taiping Dao."

Li Kui looked at it as he said.

The Taoist priests are ordinary people, but the talisman water spilled from the hands of the common people has a strong aura of yang, after a little thought, he asked aloud: "Master, what is the talisman water in that bowl for? "

"The town is safe!"

The old man looked like it wasn't obvious: "People here will go to the Taiping Taoist temple to ask for a peace talisman every year and festival, and then burn the peace talisman and add their own homemade talisman to the bowl when they wait for the Taoist ceremony. Rice and rice wine are sprinkled on the ground when the team passes by the door."

"I see."

Li Kui narrowed his eyes slightly, and pointed at the people wearing bird feather masks at the front of the team:

"Hey, uncle, what kind of dance are they dancing?"

"Shangyang Dance."

The old man blurted out without thinking: "They are from Xiaoyu Village. Only people in their village are good at this special dance. They send people to dance every year."

As he said that, he looked at Li Kui: "You are a foreigner, so I'm afraid you don't know this village."
