Zhou Kao felt uncomfortable all over and shook his head.
"Although this eel looks very delicious, I can't eat the wisdom and body of this monster."
Zhou Kao lost his appetite when he thought about the fact that this thing liked to eat carrion.
I have clearly made up my mind not to waste any non-human monsters I meet in the future, but I still feel disgusted.
I still have to continue learning from Emperor Huang Tian*, he is a professional foodie.
After letting Yu Niang confirm that the mountain eagle had no breath and was completely dead, Zhou Kao asked.
"Yu Niang, can this monster also be bald?"
Hearing Zhou Kao's question, Yu Niang chuckled.
"Have you ever seen weeds growing in the middle of a road?"
"I've never seen that before. There are so many people walking on the road that the weeds are trampled to death, so they naturally won't grow again."
Zhou Kao said.
"This eel spirit isn't wearing the skin of another human; it's its transformed skin, a part of it. This eel spirit must be a demon that specializes in cultivating the celestial soul. I think it's on its way to becoming a ghost immortal, and it often uses spells like out-of-body experience.
The top of the head is where the soul enters and exits, just like the weeds in the middle of the road, if you walk for a long time, you will naturally stop growing hair."
Chapter 37 I am a good wife who is frugal and manages the household well
After learning that Zhou Kao had left the inn and disappeared.
County Master Zhou of Bishui County lost all desire to sleep.
Regardless of other matters, he climbed up the county city wall before dawn and waited for Zhou Kao's return.
He wanted to see Zhou Kao return safely with his own eyes.
It would be best if this monster was eliminated. If not, the now famous scholar Beiguo would be implicated.
Zhou Yujun, who is still considered a good official, feels really guilty.
"Your Excellency, if Zhou Kao succeeds in exorcising the demon and saving the people, you should report this to the court as soon as possible and guarantee him a future. This will also be a good story."
"Hmm...that makes sense."
Zhou Yujun is not a fool. Although Zhou Kao is a scholar from Beiguo County, he is a chivalrous man in Bishui County under his jurisdiction.
As a county magistrate, isn't it normal and reasonable for him to recommend talented people to the court?
The most important thing is that with the excuse of "being extremely grateful", the county magistrate of Beiguo County could only watch helplessly.
Hehe, the first recommendation from Mr. Zhou is from me!!
But Zhou Yujun is not sure when he can get rid of the demon.
The demon hunter came to Zhou Yujun's jurisdiction some time ago. After investigating the local demon situation, Zhou Yujun could see that the demon hunter thought this matter was too troublesome.
If we rely on their strength, it will probably take a long time.
The demon hunter wanted to save his energy and borrow his official seal to exorcise the demon.
But as a local official, how could he take out the official seal so frivolously?
Although Zhou Yujun knew that the official seal carried the power of national destiny and indeed had the ability to slay demons and eliminate evil, he still refused.
It would be best if the demon could be eliminated, but if the demon is not eliminated and the official seal is lost, it would be a serious crime and dismissal would be certain.
The official seal is a sacred artifact of the country and cannot be tampered with in the slightest!!!
Furthermore, if we ask for the official seal as soon as there is a demon in the place, what will happen?
Using official seals to subdue demons will consume the country's fortune!
The national fortune is not endless. If local officials consume the national fortune to slay demons and monsters at every turn, then what does the emperor want these local officials to do?
Without using the official seal, you can still get things done beautifully and gain widespread praise. Maybe it can even increase the country's fortune. After seeing this, the capable people in the capital who monitor the world will report it to the emperor. Then, of course, your own official career will be smooth sailing.
Therefore, Zhou Yujun never thought of using the official seal unless it was absolutely necessary.
Zhou Kao already has a record of defeating two monsters, which cannot be faked. Moreover, Zhou Kao is a scholar, and can be considered as one of "their own people", so he must be counting on the power of "their own people".
If it succeeds, there will be many benefits.
If it fails, there will be no big loss.
A cool breeze blew in the corner of the courtyard.
Lu'er was trembling with joy and fear.
She just heard a scream from the room, followed by another scream.
They're all that ugly bald guy's.
Lu'er was delighted that she could finally get rid of this old, ugly male monster with strange hobbies.
This handsome young man is really awesome.
However, the screams in the house still scared Lu'er and made her tremble. The white ball on her body was held up on her knees, making a duangduang sound as her body shook.
It’s a pity that no one can appreciate this beautiful scenery except the bright moon in the sky.
The yelling and cursing of "Zuoshan Diao"
The little goblin also felt that the sound that was extremely harsh in the past was now unusually pleasant.
At last……
"Zuoshan Diao" let out an even louder scream.
Until it was silent.
Even without the screams of "Zuoshan Diao", the room was still dim and bright, and no one knew what tricks Zhou Kao was using.
The little goblin thought about the scholar he had met before.
I can't help but sigh from the bottom of my heart,
Today's scholars are becoming more and more extraordinary.
Lu'er thought so and became confused again. She always felt that this scholar was really weird.
After chatting and joking with Yu Niang, Zhou Kao gradually felt sleepy.
After all, as a mortal, you still need to sleep, right?
"It's getting late, go to sleep~sleep~"
Even though there was a giant eel corpse in the room, Zhou Kao still fell asleep.
After daybreak, there happened to be a large board there. Zhou Kao threw the big eel on it. Relying on his great strength, he tied a rope and pulled it back to the county seat of Bishui County.
Although Zhou Kao disliked the wisdom pearl of "Zuoshan Diao", in the eyes of Yu Niang, who was also a fairy (and regarded herself as a housekeeper), it was useful to preserve it.
Zuoshan Diao’s cultivation is actually quite good. Although he is bald, he has become stronger.
But I didn't expect that there would be a man like Zhou Kao who was holding a magical weapon and was so sinister.
That's why Zhou Kao killed him so casually.
His wisdom pearl is also a rare and valuable thing.
Keeping it and collecting it can also be considered as saving up some assets for Zhou Kao, in case Zhou Kao needs it somewhere in the future?
I am such a good wife who is thrifty and manages the household well!
After receiving this pearl of wisdom, Yu Niang thought so.
"Yuniang, can you eat this wisdom pearl?"
Hearing her husband say this about her, Yu Niang said in a soft voice.
"Of course I won't eat it! I won't eat it! But if I use my magic power to refine it, it can also improve my cultivation a little.
However, I don’t care about the broken beads of this big eel. I just want to ask, my dear, please don’t ask too many questions! 1”
"No wonder the demons, besides eating humans, also kill each other from time to time. They are so ruthless."
Yu Niang covered her mouth and laughed.
"Hehe, the human race is indeed much more united than the demons. That's why humanity is flourishing and the demons are dormant now."
Yu Niang followed Zhou Kao and gained a lot of strange and bizarre insights.
“The humane imperial court has its own system. Even if someone can kill people to cultivate and prolong their lifespan, they cannot kill people at will due to fear of laws and rules.
But demons are not like this. Ignorance leads to fearlessness, fearlessness leads to disorder, and disorder leads to ruthlessness."
"Oh, there's something."
Zhou Kao was a little surprised that this "carp girl" actually had a lot of logic.
"After all, I am the daughter of the previous He Bo, a cultured person with good sense. Moreover, I am now close to my husband, and through his influence, I have also gained some wisdom."
"You still have this function if you follow me?"
Zhou Kao, who looked like an ox or a horse pulling a cart, couldn't stop laughing.
"My dear, you are a scholar. You have blessed the country and the literature of the Great Yu Dynasty. The fragrance of books that you exude is extraordinary.
But it is not as wise as the wise words spoken casually by my benefactor.
(Especially, every word of praise from Zhou Kao had the effect of granting her a title. Yu Niang didn’t even need to actively ask for one.)”
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Hearing this young lady say this, Zhou Kao burst into laughter.
"Yu Niang's ability to flatter is really good."
"Every word I say is true."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"..."
Seeing Zhou Kao laughing wildly, Yu Niang was speechless. In fact, she really thought so.
The goodness and wonderfulness of my husband are not something that ordinary women can feel! My husband is also so good that he doesn’t know it. However, it’s okay. I can also do this.
Chatting along the way, Yu Niang was secretly pleased to see that Zhou Kao did not mention the little devil Lu Er at all.
I thought that the little devil was so shameless. When she showed up, she was dressed in plain clothes, almost like a "pretty widow". She must be a slutty maid with evil intentions.
Unlike me, he is not grateful.
Fairies are different from goblins!
When we were almost at the county town, we saw people looking around from the top of the city wall. Soon, the city became lively.
Then, Zhou Yujun, the county magistrate of Bishui County, came with his men. When he saw Zhou Kao pulling an unidentified object, he was immediately overjoyed and even breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness! Nothing happened to Zhou Yixian the night he was gone. Thank goodness!"
Some people are happy, while others are naturally unhappy.
"Humph! This County Magistrate Zhou actually doesn't trust us demon exorcists and instead places his hopes on a scholar. What a joke!"
"I heard from fellow Taoists from Beiguo County that Mr. Zhou is quite capable. He killed the mullet monster and beheaded the old corpse monster. His battle record can be checked."
"That mountain eagle is no ordinary monster. It comes and goes without a trace, and its methods are unknown to us.
All we know is that it is related to a big demon, and that it has the ability to drive away evil spirits.
It's also a water monster.
The more you know, the more you know nothing.
Zhou Xiucai is just a scholar. No matter how much martial arts he has inherited from his family, he can never be a match for such a strange monster."
"Hmph! Ignorance is fearless. Such a self-righteous lunatic should be dead, so as not to cause us any more trouble."
"Yes, yes, let's leave some talismans to the county magistrate to prevent him from using evil spirits to kidnap people.
That’s enough effort!
But he refused to lend us the official seal to get rid of the evil spirit.
Judging by the time, he should have been killed by now."
In a teahouse in the city, several demon hunters who were ordered to come to Bishui County were chatting.
