After chatting for a while, I heard that there was a lot of noise outside. Soon, there was the beating of drums and gongs.
"Ok?"
A demon hunter pushed open the door and stopped a passerby: "Why is there so much noise?"
"Zhou Yixian from Beiguo County has captured an eel spirit. The spirit's corpse is at the East City Gate. I'm going to go watch the fun!"
"what?!"
The demon hunter who asked the question was stunned.
"T-this...how is this possible?"
"How could there be such a big fish? My son, you were not eaten by this thing?"
The wailing of an old woman could be heard faintly from the crowd.
"Mr. Zhou, is this the monster?"
The organs on the eel's head were not clear, only the big mouth was eye-catching. The mouth was full of spiral sharp teeth. If you were bitten, would you still be able to survive?
Zhou Yujun, the magistrate of Bishui County, was completely shocked. He circled around the huge lamprey corpse. There were seven holes on its neck that were constantly bleeding. The more he looked at it, the scarier it became.
Zhou Kao stepped forward and said, "County Master Zhou, this is the monster, a powerful eel spirit.
Ping Chang is dressed like the bald Taoist priest. He kidnaps people from the local area and raises them as livestock. He eats the carrion of living people as a delicacy and uses human blood to sacrifice to evil gods. He also establishes obscene cults.
After saying this, Zhou Kao turned around and bowed to the people around him:
"My fellow villagers, this monster likes the rotting flesh of living people, so it keeps them in caves and underground.
If your family has been abducted by a monster, please don't panic. Maybe your family is still alive."
"Ah?! Keeping civilians in captivity to worship evil gods?? Using humans as livestock?!"
Zhou Yujun suddenly became furious.
They had heard early on that the scholar from Beiguo County was coming to the local area to exorcise demons, so most of the people whose family members had disappeared came to the city gate to inquire about the news.
When the locals in Bishui County heard that their missing family members might still be alive, they were overjoyed. Many of them rushed to tell each other so that no grieving people would be unaware of the good news.
Zhou Kao also asked people to bring some rice, big pots, bowls and so on.
in case the emergency.
In order to bring their families back home, many people in Bishui County, carrying their elderly and children, followed Zhou Kao to a small pond east of the Lake God Temple.
This is where the "Mountain Eagle" that Lu'er mentioned is hiding.
Although it is not a stagnant pool of water, it is also pitch black, and there are some strange-looking fish and shrimps in it, which look very unappetizing.
Everyone worked together to open the drain, and they saw a cave under the pool. They entered the cave and walked forward a hundred or so steps. Suddenly, the view became clear and a huge underground cave was right in front of them.
The scene that the family members saw in the cave made them feel heartbroken.
Outside the rows of cages, there were feeding troughs. Looking at those troughs, I found that they were not natural, but were used by nearby villagers to raise pigs.
Inside the cages were people in tattered clothes and with numb expressions, all imprisoned.
There were scars all over his body, not a single piece of healthy flesh.
These cages are made of randomly tied things together, and the people locked inside can only curl up together and cannot stretch their arms and legs.
The troughs are mostly filled with dead fish and rotten shrimps, which the people in the cages eat to survive.
"My son!!!"
An old woman followed him in no matter what, walking forward with the help of a cane, and found her son in a cage, with a haggard and pale face.
With tears streaming down his face, he used all his strength to smash the cage open.
When Zhou Kao took a look, he found that there was actually a small Taoist temple in the cave.
The deities enshrined in the Taoist temple were not the Three Pure Ones, nor the Four Directions Gods, but the ones Zhou Kao had chopped up in the temple before.
A statue of a strange young man wearing a scarlet robe and an official hat.
The three words "Binglingshen" are also written on it.
There is actually a statue of a god here.
In addition, there are some small monsters doing things, most of which are in the form of lake shrimps and crabs. Although there are many of them, they are not big in size.
These weekly exams look pretty good, and none of them are in adult form.
It can be eaten and can also replenish the bodies of people whose vitality has been damaged.
Zhou Kao held the precious sword in his hand, kicking and slashing, and no one could match his opponent.
Even a 13 or 14-year-old boy could handle these little Karas with a stick.
After chopping off the small kalamies, Zhou Kao overturned the incense burner in front of the statue.
As usual, I cursed at the statue.
What kind of god are you? Are you worthy of being a god? You are nothing but a Gou Ba who is not even an evil god!!!
Chapter 38 It’s better to take the dry road
After the curse, the luster on the statue quickly faded.
Then, Zhou Kao picked up the machete and chopped the statue into pieces.
We lit a fire on the spot and grilled some plump shrimps and crabs for ourselves to eat.
The next step is to collect the bodies of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals. These are all good ingredients. Eating them with the crowd can also replenish the exhausted body.
And most importantly, it relieves hatred.
She set up a big pot and put some rice, water, some shrimps and crabs that had become spirits, and some herbs that Yu Niang had brought out into it.
He cooked a pot of seafood porridge to nourish the bodies and heal the wounded people.
Otherwise, those people might not be able to afford the hassle and would have to start the feast as soon as they returned to the city.
The people of Bishui County who followed Zhou Kao in to rescue their loved ones were stunned by Zhou Kao's actions.
Zhou Kao asked everyone to come over and get a bowl of white porridge to drink and refresh themselves.
He asked the yamen runners to maintain order while Zhou Kao sat aside, eating grilled shrimps, gnawing on greasy grilled crabs, and chugging white porridge.
Zhou Kao was also very hungry at this time. He had not eaten since he was busy last night.
Seeing her husband eating so anxiously, Yu Niang in the basket felt heartbroken and scolded herself for being so careless. How could she let her husband starve?
The people who followed looked at the family members who had eaten the white porridge and recovered.
For a while, the cave was filled with cries, mostly expressing the feelings of recovery and surviving a disaster.
Zhou Kao listened to the crowd saying, "My benefactor is here," "(old man) (young woman) is here..." and so on.
This group of people even knelt down to express their gratitude to Zhou Kao.
Zhou Kaoke couldn't stand this. He saved people not to expect these people to kneel down and kowtow to him.
"Alright!! You don't even have to kneel. If you kneel before me, wouldn't that be humiliating me?"
A loud roar intimidated the person who was about to kneel down and kowtow.
Zhou Kao looked at the confused people in No. 1 Middle School, sighed, and said.
"When you recover, it would be best if you could help each other and be happy to help others!"
"Your grace is noble and righteous..."
Some people realized that they had met a true gentleman, and they all helped their sick friends up and sobbed.
Among this group of people, you can even see an old woman carrying her son with great difficulty, and she refuses to accept any help from anyone.
She didn't want to lose her own son again.
Women are weak, but mothers are strong.
County Magistrate Zhou Yujun was waiting by the small pond when he saw people emerging from the pond one after another.
He was immediately amazed: "Mr. Zhou is truly a god!"
The crowd also burst into cheers. Even the demon hunters who followed along were amazed and couldn't help but admire it.
"What a great weekly test."
"Junior brother, what do you think of this person?"
"What a hero!"
At this time, there were people walking on the ground, and a big eagle was hanging in the sky.
Zhou Xianzun said to Zhou Kao again.
"According to the Immortal of the Prefecture City, a powerful demon appeared a while ago, and that demon has a large number of monsters under his command."
“Zhou Kao, there are many evil spirits these days, and they are rampant. I’m afraid there are still monsters causing trouble in the water in this county.
If the boat capsizes in the water, no one will survive.
This county has decided to close the Jindu checkpoint and will reopen the ferry after the imperial court sends people to capture the monster."
Zhou Yujun first talked about his next arrangements, thanked Zhou Kao for his righteousness in exorcising the demon, and then persuaded Zhou Kao not to be too impulsive.
As soon as he heard there was a monster, he rushed forward. After all, two fists are no match for four hands. Now there are so many monsters, something might happen.
"Thank you, County Master Zhou, for reminding me. I was just on my way."
"That's good, that's good. Now there are demon hunters in the city, and the abducted people have been rescued. It's more than enough to protect ourselves."
Seeing Zhou Kao agreed, Zhou Yujun breathed a sigh of relief. For a young man like this, he still had to ask for credit, so how could he just die so easily?
Back in the city, Yu Niang was also worried: "My dear, the road ahead is difficult and dangerous. I think it is best to be cautious. Why not wait a few days, after the Autumn Examination, and then it will not be too late to set off."
Yu Niang was also a little worried.
What she wants is to deepen the bond with her husband and live together forever, rather than being a pair of desperate mandarin ducks and bringing danger to her husband!
"What are you talking about? We'll reach the East China Sea in two days. How can we give up halfway?"
Zhou Kao continued, "Most of the spirits here live in the water. If we don't take a boat, we can ride horses, right? County Magistrate Zhou gave us a lot of money. If we buy two horses, we can reach the East China Sea in one day."
At this time, the eagle circling in the sky transformed into a human form and arrived at a cave.
Then he turned into a bird-headed man with wings on his back.
He half-knelt outside the gate and saluted, shouting, "Report—"
"Report to the king! Disaster has occurred! General Ma was killed by a scholar from outside the province!"
"What?! Where's the statue??"
“Ruined, ruined…”
A low roar, the sound was dull and powerful, shaking the waters and making them roll.
"No wonder I feel the incense is so late!! What kind of scholar is this? How dare he kill my beloved general?! And interrupt my sacrifices?!!"
In Bishui County, Zhou Kao bought two horses, one for riding and one as a spare.
The spare horse also had a lot of belongings on it, including dry food for the journey, clean water, and the reward bonus for eliminating the demon issued by Zhou Yujun, the magistrate of Bishui County.
In addition, there is a handwritten letter from County Magistrate Zhou. When passing through other counties, he can take it out as a visiting card and temporarily serve as the clerk of the County Magistrate of Bishui County. It is not a big problem.
When Zhou Kao left Bishui County, many people in the city came out to see him off. The scene was so grand that many demon hunters were moved and envious, but they had to admit defeat.
Passing by the Lake God Temple again, Zhou Kao met Lu'er and told her about rescuing the people.
"Thank you so much for saving me from this sea of suffering."
I helped Lu'er remove the weeds and built a fence at the same time.
Don't let wild animals eat her.
After doing all this, Zhou Kao continued on his journey.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou..."
Lu'er appeared slowly and bowed to Zhou Kao. She was still dressed in plain clothes and looked very beautiful.
However, he stopped abruptly in the middle of his words, but it didn't seem abrupt to Zhou Kao.
How could he know that when Lu'er said goodbye and expressed her feelings,
