Day and night tour

Chapter 190 The True King of Crossing Borders

Li Chengfeng muttered to himself,

“Mr. Xiao said that he could make me the most promising bone elder, is that true?

Well, it should be true. Look at the way the young master settled the matter tonight. It was very organized and well-organized. It was even more powerful than the way he killed Lu Yusheng."

Compared to the method of killing Lu Yusheng, Li Chengfeng admired Zhou Xuan's method of winning over the night watchmen more.

He took advantage of the shock of the King of Monuments' death and promised the position of "Armor Incense Master", and then invited everyone to the metropolis. As long as they went to the metropolis, the night watchman would know the relationship between Zhou Xuan and Gu Ling...

Everything is linked together, and doing things well will bring you rewards.

"The high priest chosen by the God of the Blood Well is no ordinary person."

……

The bloody night on Dongshi Street finally returned to peace.

Even quieter than the night is the 獠鬼.

Lin Xia and the fang ghosts were worried about Zhou Xuan's safety and kept watching from the window.

But as he watched, he felt that something was not right. People from the Youshen Division had also come, and seemed to be against Zhou Xuan.

They discussed and decided to jump down together to fight the patrolling god.

Fortunately, Lü Mingkun stopped them and said, "We are not afraid of the Yushensi. Don't go. If you go, you will only cause trouble."

The fang ghosts were persuaded, and then they saw people from the Gu Lao Society coming, the night watchman also came, the stele king of the Youshen Division was killed, and the night watchman, Gu Lao and Zhou Xuan chatted and laughed, as if they were chatting about family matters.

"We are all fellow villagers from Pingshui Prefecture, is the gap so big?" Lin Xia sighed sincerely.

"Our junior brother, he is good at interpersonal relationships." Lu Mingkun explained.

Yun Ziliang sipped his tea and said, "If this continues, my card fee will have to go up!"

"Old sir, I can pay for your future card fees." Lin Xia said.

"I don't want your money, I just want the card fee paid by Xiao Zhou." Yun Ziliang was very stubborn.

Lin Xia: “…”

……

The matter of Dongshi Street has been settled.

Lin Xia was very grateful to Zhou Xuan.

She had seen clearly that if Zhou Xuan had not taken action today, there would be no Liaogui Hall in the future.

There wasn't even a Five-Incense-Stick expert in the hall. It was already difficult enough to deal with the coroner, let alone a figure of Lu Yusheng's level, and there were also patrolling gods behind him.

"Liaoguitangkou, from now on, I will obey the orders of the benefactor."

Lin Xia blushed when she said this. Zhou Xuan and Gu Lao were chatting and laughing. What could their small Liaogui gang do?

"Okay, okay. From now on, the business of the Zhou family will still rely on Brother Feng. It just so happens that my business in Mingjiang Mansion has just started, and I also need some manpower. In the future, if there is any need for you, I will bother you more."

After hearing what Zhou Xuan said, Lin Xia felt comfortable for no reason and said quickly, "A lot of Liaogui people died today. I will go and take care of their funeral affairs. I will come back in two days to thank you."

"We'll talk about the old times someday." Zhou Xuan clasped his fists and said, "Zhou Family Cleansing Shop is waiting for you, Sister Xia."

After seeing off the fang ghost, Zhou Xuan, Lu Mingkun and Yun Ziliang walked towards the store.

Yun Ziliang was so happy that he said it was a great fun night.

Although Lu Mingkun had achieved most of his revenge, he was not very happy and his aura seemed a little off.

Zhou Xuan asked: "What's wrong, Fifth Brother? Are you feeling upset because the head of the coroner's office didn't come? Don't worry, in a few days, Old Gu will find the location of their head. Then, we will kill him!"

"Junior brother, I just thought about a question. What should I do after I have my revenge? I have lived for revenge since I was young. I practice swordplay and sew corpses every day. With this goal in mind, I live a happy life.

But just now, I suddenly had a feeling of unreality. If my revenge is completely fulfilled, I don’t know what to do next.”

Lu Mingkun spoke out his thoughts.

"Just live your life as it should be. Why think so much? If you like to listen to opera, then listen to opera. If you like to sing, then sing." Zhou Xuan advised.

"But there's nothing I like to do. Even sewing corpses for purification, I seem to be a little tired of it."

Zhou Xuan actually felt a little bit like Lu Mingkun. Hatred narrowed down the Fifth Senior Brother's hobbies and even tainted him with some abnormal preferences, such as a preference for the smell of corpses.

After taking revenge, he will indeed feel a little empty inside, and he needs some new hobbies and goals to fill it.

"Don't worry, I'm here, and I can always find something for you to indulge in every day."

Zhou Xuan promised.

……

Squeak!

The back door of Cuijie's house opened and then closed.

“He…how…how…” Mu Hua tried hard to ask Sister Cui.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhou is much more capable than I thought. The gods of the Youshen Division were all killed by his people."

Sister Cui gently stroked Muhua's forehead and said, "Go to sleep, Brother Zhou is fine, don't worry."

"road……"

"Don't worry. Last time I turned into a fox to save you, the Taoist priest didn't come to find us. I guess the Feng Shui of East Market Street is becoming more and more mysterious, so the Taoist priest who is looking for dragons can't find us."

Sister Cui forced a smile and advised Muhua to go to bed.

But she was actually still worried in her heart, would the Taoist priest really not come?
……

Zhou Xuan and others returned to the store, and Xiao Fuzi was very happy.

He and Lu Mingkun went to find the waterman on the street. After a big fight, everyone had a very bad smell on their bodies and needed to take a hot bath.

Yun Ziliang went to listen to Gu Ling's record again, while Zhou Xuan called Si Yuer.

"Hello, I'm Bai Qishan, the housekeeper of the Si Mansion..."

"Butler Bai, I'm Zhou Xuan."

"Oh, young sir, are you looking for a master or a lady?"

"Are they all asleep?"

"The master always goes to bed early. Thanks to you, the young lady played from morning to night and came home very tired, so she went to bed early." Butler Bai said truthfully.

"Then I'll look for you." Zhou Xuan said, "Does your Si family have a newspaper?"

"Yes, there is not only a newspaper company, but also two printing factories. 70% of Mingjiang's newspapers come from the Si family printing factory."

"That's good. I want the front-page headline of your newspaper. Please print a news article for me. The title should be 'Kidnapper kills innocent people in Dongshi Street, and the City God Zhijiaxiangzhu becomes an accomplice.'" Zhou Xuan said.

Butler Bai: “…”

It's no wonder he kept silent. It was because the news about Zhou Xuan was too big. Not only did it involve kidnappers, but it also involved the City God? !

"Butler Bai, did you listen to me?"

"I'm listening. I'm listening."

"I've told you the headline of the news, and I'll also tell you about the content of the news."

Zhou Xuan briefly summarized the content of the story. The gist was that the kidnappers and the City God had joined forces to kill civilians in the East Market Street. The children of the civilians had been kidnapped and killed by the kidnappers, so they gathered together to fight against the kidnappers.

After civilians were killed and blood flowed like a river, the righteous City God Zhang Yifeng appeared with the night watchmen. He not only cleared out the kidnappers, but also killed the traitor City God Lu Yusheng.

Butler Bai frowned more and more as he listened, and he couldn't help but said, "Young Master, this news is really outrageous. I have to go and inform the master."

"Okay, go ahead. Do you remember everything I said?"

"Remember, if the master agrees, we will start printing immediately and it will be in the newspaper tomorrow morning. If he disagrees..."

"If you don't agree, ask the head of the Si Hall to call me, and I will use my eloquence to convince him."

Zhou Xuan hung up the phone with a smile.

He guessed that Siming would definitely agree. Siming hated kidnappers to the core. Now that there was suddenly big news about kidnappers, there was no reason for him not to take advantage of it.

……

Butler Bai hung up the phone, picked up a kerosene lantern, and quickly went to Siming's house.

"Boom, boom, boom."

There was a knock on the door and it was the maid who opened it.

She yawned and said apologetically to Butler Bai, "Master, the mistress has gone to bed." "Please inform them that the young master has come to visit for something important."

"Then I'll try to report it."

Zhou Xuan's name has been extremely famous in the Si Mansion these days. Not only did the two tattoos cure the eldest lady's madness, but it was also rumored in the Mansion that after the young master accompanied the master to the Qiye Temple, he could save the hall one million every year.

When such a noble friend comes to visit for important matters, the maid dare not delay him.

After a while, Duan Qinglan and Si Ming came downstairs in their pajamas.

The couple sat on the sofa and asked Butler Bai, "What does the young master want to see us for?"

"Master, he wants us to publish a news article."

Butler Bai told Zhou Xuan the content and title he wanted to publish.

Siming reacted excitedly, lit a cigar, paced back and forth in the room, and cursed as he walked: "Good, good, great, the kidnapper's group of bastards always bully our hall and make us shit on them. This is the time for us to be proud of ourselves.
In the past, when I published an ad in the newspaper to denounce the kidnapper, someone from the City God would always come to me, hinting that I should not make a big deal out of it, saying that we are all gang members, and harmony brings wealth. Damn it! This time, I will report it to the City God as well!"

"Old Si, don't get too excited. I feel like there are some leaks in this news. How could Zhang Yifeng kill Lu Yusheng? Guaizi was recently warned by Old Gu that he can't do anything so brazenly."

Duan Qinglan was very calm. She picked up the phone and started to ask Gu Lao about the news.

Almost no one knew what happened tonight.

She finally called her teacher Li Chengfeng's home.

Li Chengfeng and Duan Qinglan were not outsiders, so they naturally did not hide anything and told her the truth.

Her hand holding the microphone felt numb as she listened.

After listening to it, she hung up the phone with a burning look in her eyes.

"Ma'am, how is it?"

"Tonight's incident is very serious. The Night Patrol God Monument King has fallen, Lu Yusheng is dead, and the ones who went to Dongshi Street were not kidnappers, but coroners. They were arrested in one fell swoop under the banner of kidnappers."

"Who did it?"

"It was all done by the young master." Duan Qinglan was a calm person to the core, but at this moment she could no longer hide the excitement in her eyes.

"Who?" Siming asked again.

"Young sir." Duan Qinglan repeated.

"Madam, do you know that the young master only has two incense sticks?!"

After the charity reception ended last night, Si Yuer talked to Si Ming in the car and said that Zhou Xuan only had two incense sticks.

Siming was already very surprised at that time. What did two incense sticks mean?
For example, in a gang like the Thief's, the two incense sticks in the gang are only good for wiping the ancestral tablets in the main hall.

But with just two incense sticks, Zhou Xuan was able to enter the forbidden tower that even Siming couldn't enter.

Let’s just forget about this and just assume that the young master has extraordinary mental strength.

But Lu Yusheng, the King of Monuments, a five-stick incense stick who crossed the border to kill people, and a six-stick incense stick wandering god...

"The King of Monuments was killed by the Youshen Division of Pingshui Prefecture. Tonight, they are fighting for the young master." Duan Qinglan said.

"Oh, that's normal." Siming felt calmer.

"Lu Yusheng was indeed killed by the young master."

"Oh, that's right... This isn't normal. How could Erxiang kill Lu Yusheng?"

"Lu Yusheng is still holding the armor, but now the City God Armor has disappeared. It must have been taken off by the young master..."

"Or is it Lu Yusheng who is wearing armor?"

Siming suddenly collapsed on the sofa, and Butler Bai collapsed with him.

"Erxiang, when I was Erxiang, I would massage my old cold legs with my master every day. My coolest fantasy at that time was that one day I would learn some unique skills from my master, cross the border and hang up and beat Senior Brother Sanxiang who stole my wages!

Young Master, in just two sticks of incense, has already fought against the King of Crossing Borders from Mingjiang Prefecture. What a difference. "

Siming's faith in Taoism was already somewhat broken, and now it was even more broken.

Duan Qinglan chuckled, pointed at the two people and said: "You guys only see the blow, but not the future. A man who can kill the City God with two incense sticks, and has a close relationship with our hall, isn't this our opportunity?

Lao Si, you think about bringing the Thief Gang one step closer every day, but have you ever thought that if we strengthen our relationship with the young master, the Gang can really get one step closer? "

"Madam is right."

Siming instantly came out of the frustration of "comparing yourself with others will only make you angry".

"I will personally go to the printing factory to see to it that the news that the young gentleman wants to publish is published in the newspaper."

"Wait." Duan Qinglan stopped Si Ming and said, "Old Si, the young master wants to appear in the news. I guess, first, he wants to help Zhang Yifeng take the position of Zhijiaxiang, otherwise he would not point out that Zhang Yifeng killed Lu Yusheng.

Second, he wanted to attack the reputation of kidnappers.

Third, he wanted to put pressure on the City God and rely on public opinion to prevent him from investigating Lu Yusheng’s death.”

Siming felt that Duan Qinglan's analysis made sense and that his wife should still be the one making the decisions at home.

Duan Qinglan said: "So, we should do it in a targeted way. When printing the headlines of the Little Master, we should add the most righteous picture of Zhang Yifeng to create an image of Zhang Yifeng as a righteous man in the hearts of the people, and help him win more people's hearts.

No matter what the Gu Laohui did behind the scenes, he still valued the people's hearts. With the people's hearts, it would be easier for him to take the throne.
Then, the second and third pages of the newspaper printed a lot of negative information about the kidnappers, and the fourth and fifth pages printed the tragic events that happened after the children of ordinary people were kidnapped, in order to arouse the people's deeper hatred towards the kidnappers.

As for the front page of the newspaper, it should be printed with positive events of the City God in daily life, fighting off demons and defending the Way. The more glorious, the better. "

Siming understood the first two points, but the third one was a bit confusing.

Why should we promote the positive image of the City God?
This gang has teamed up with kidnappers to do countless dirty and terrible things.

The reason we don't discredit them is because they are so powerful, isn't it because we are building momentum for them?

"If we want to put pressure on the City God, we have to raise their image first, to the point where they are lonely at the top and dare not come out to dispel the rumors about Lu Yusheng!

Didn't you hear the young master describe Lu Yusheng as a traitor to the City God? Putting up the image of the City God is equivalent to confirming the traitor's identity.

Moreover, you have to put the City God aside first before you can attack the kidnappers. The enemies have to be fought one by one, step by step, to avoid being attacked from both sides.

I don't know much about the other aspects of the young man, but when it comes to the news, the words he chose are very sophisticated, which shows that he thought it through before calling."

With Duan Qinglan's explanation, Siming finally understood Zhou Xuan's clever way of telling the news.

"Not only is his method powerful, but he is also very good at guiding public opinion. What a blessing our sect is to have met such a great person."

Siming hummed a little tune, changed into formal clothes, and went out happily with Butler Bai.

……

Zhou Xuan lay on the bed with his eyes closed. He began to look for Xuejing and Shenqi to "collect debts".

The offerings are well-fed tonight, so you two need to settle the bill first.

"Jingzi, don't rush to tell me the result of the divination. First tell me what the price of so many sacrifices can be converted into!"

Zhou Xuan always felt that the monk who cooked wine had taken a kickback from Jingzi last time, and this time, even brothers had to settle accounts clearly.

It started snowing in the Blood Well Secret Realm.

Three words were written on the snow on the ground - six, six, and Xuan.

"The first two sixes represent two six-stick offerings."

Zhou Xuan calculated, three big coroners with five incense sticks, three small coroners sitting around looking at each other, one Lu Yusheng with five incense sticks, six magic tools and one City God armor, only to exchange for a six-incense offering?

Jingzi, you are the most greedy for money!
There was heavy snow in the secret realm. It was heavier than the snow in "The Injustice of Dou E" and it felt very unfair.

"Oh, I see. Those magical instruments and the City God Armor correspond to the word 'Xuan' at the end, right?"

The snow suddenly began to fall cheerfully, with a fluttering rhythm, accompanied by sunshine.

Zhou Xuan removed the magic weapon and the City God Armor, and converted it again. Four five-stick incense sticks, plus three sitting four-looking five-stick incense sticks, in exchange for a six-stick incense offering. This "exchange rate" was not bad.

"Jingzi, you understand mathematics the best."

After Zhou Xuan finished the conversion, he began to ask the two questions he wanted to ask most.

The first one - Will the Tattoo Ancient Clan kill me within a few sticks of incense?
The second one - Who is Baiguiyao?

This time, snow fell on the blood well first, and two words were written on it - two and six.

"Answering these two questions will cost you a six-stick incense offering? Jingzi, you are the most fair. Come on, let's ask for divination."

Zhou Xuan stood up straight, waiting for the result of the divination from the Blood Well...

ps: Good brothers, two updates of 10,000 words each, muah.
