Martial Cultivator Chapter 108: Making a living
Wang An sat down and the three swords hanging on the left and right sides of the saddle collided with each other and made a clanging sound.
He held the reins with one hand, and his body rose and fell with the galloping horse, showing a very superb riding skill.
Chen Liu glanced at the imperial envoy of Shenhua Mansion and thought highly of Wang An.
He did not dare to be negligent and quickly replied: "Sir, we have taken a shortcut. We have already passed the high mountains. We will have another seven or eight miles to reach Changfu Inn."
"Seven or eight miles away...
That's really not far away. Wang An smiled and turned to Chen Liu to ask about anything else, "We are almost at the end of the journey. You might as well tell me that the bodies of the three traveling merchants were sent to the government office, and the body of the shop owner's daughter-in-law was also sent to the government office." where? ”
Chen Liu looked embarrassed: "The body of the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law is still parked in the inn.
The family refused to allow the body to be taken away.
He also claimed that a villain insulted the body of his daughter-in-law..."
Wang An was silent after hearing this.
Nowadays, ordinary people have a lot of rules and taboos about what happens after the deceased. In addition, government orders often cannot reach villages and counties. Even though inspections and arrests work in accordance with the law, Yihu suffered a lot because of his meager manpower. obstruction.
Some evil spirits and monsters that could have been killed at the first sign often have to cause real disasters before the people repent and ask the government to take action.
At the time of the headless corpse case, in the Wang family squire's home in Shilibao, his daughter died first.
If the female body had been burned at that time, the Wang family might not have been wiped out.
I think the Wang family also refused to agree.
Just like the current owner of Changfu Inn is unwilling to hand over his daughter-in-law's body to the government for care.
Then again.
If the government becomes a bad person first, this matter may not be impossible.
"Mo Yun, a zombie, could it be that he only relies on sucking human blood to improve himself?" Wang An turned to Mo Yun and asked.
Chen Liu listened silently.
I felt a little uneasy and a little excited.
He is still young. He has not been working as a patrol officer for a long time, and his spirit is still intact.
I really want to do something in my career.
Now that I can run errands with the Shenhua Mansion, which specializes in the affairs of gods, ghosts and demons, I not only don’t feel scared, but I feel that if I can learn a little bit from the experts in the Shenhua Mansion, it will be of great use in the future.
When Wang An was shopping for the medicinal materials needed for Wujin Dan in the Identity Jade Tablet, he also bought some general knowledge books on spiritual practice, but the items had not been delivered to Xuanji Mansion at this time.
In terms of knowledge in this area, Mo Yun still has more knowledge than him.
Mo Yun thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Not all zombies need to swallow human blood to nourish themselves.
Some zombies are created purely by chance.
For example, a bronze-armored corpse must be blessed with the aura of killing and killing. Most of them were brave generals of a country when they were alive. When they died on the battlefield, they were bred into zombies on the battlefield.
The bronze-armored corpse is invulnerable to invulnerability, water and fire, and is only afraid of lightning strikes.
What it eats is the essence of a living person.
Another example is the ordinary white-haired zombie, which progresses through the ranks of green zombie, purple zombie, and black zombie. When it becomes a Yin zombie, it can absorb the moonlight to nourish itself and transform into a flying zombie, which can also absorb all the energy of Xuanzong from heaven and earth.
Some of them are even Buddhist protectors.
It is called Feitian Yaksha. ”
"It's also weird." Wang An responded.
He raised his head and looked forward.
Amidst the two rows of green willows swaying gracefully, the wine flag hung in front of the Changfu Inn is also fluttering in the wind.
Chen Liu was entranced by what Mo Yun said and had no reaction for a moment.
Mo Yun patted him on the shoulder and said: "We're here!"
He quickly reacted and got off his horse.
I followed Wang An and led the horse to the door of Changfu Inn.
A straw shed was set up in front of the inn, with several long tables and benches placed randomly. There were teapots and teacups on the table that had not yet been put away.
Mo Yun touched the teapot with his hand and reported to Wang An: "The teapot is still hot.
A guest just left after drinking tea. ”
“I clearly told him at that time not to open any more stores in the next few days!
We have to wait until the government finds out the truth before his family can do this..." Chen Liu reported to Wang An in a panic after hearing this.
Wang An waved his hand, looked up at the building with a two-story building in front and a large courtyard at the back, and said: "In the countryside, if someone is not always watching over it, how can we completely prevent them from thinking about it?" What to do?"
He was looking at it.
A stocky young man walked out of the inn, and he greeted him with a smile on his face. However, when he saw Chen Liu behind Wang An, his expression suddenly changed, and he turned around to go back to the house.
"Why go!"
As Wang An opened his mouth to shout, he placed a hand on the shoulder of the stocky young man.
No matter how broad the young man's shoulders were, he couldn't move even half a step when he held him down with his palm!
The sturdy young man struggled several times but couldn't break free, so he immediately responded: "I, I came out to close the door!"
"Why close the door?
Are you closed today? "Wang An turned him around, facing himself, and asked in a deep voice.
The stocky young man's two dark eyes rolled around and he stammered: "No, no..."
"I can't even speak clearly. I'll go find your shopkeeper and ask!" Wang An pushed him away and immediately stepped into the inn.
Chen Liuchao took two hurried steps forward, approached Wang An and said, "Sir, that's the shopkeeper's son. He's a little confused. His wife died for no reason!"
"Yeah."
Wang An responded calmly.
Lead people into the inn.
When you enter, you will see a counter.
There are wooden signs hanging on the wall behind the counter, with the names of the dishes written on them.
Most of the wooden signs were blocked by a fat old man, who was happily flipping through his account books and making a calculation or two from time to time.
"Staff, do you have any vacancies at your inn?"
A voice of inquiry came from the door.
The fat old man replied without even raising his head: "Our store is a Datong store, look for Shuyuanwww.zhaoshuyuan.com. Although there are many people staying in the store today, if you squeeze in, you can still free up a few seats. .
How many guests are there? ”
As he spoke, the fat shopkeeper raised his head.
I suddenly saw Wang An and three others striding closer.
As soon as his eyes met Chen Liu's face, his expression immediately changed, and he kept saying: "Our store is closed today, not open, not open."
"Closed?" Wang An put his arm on the counter and stared at the fat shopkeeper and asked, "Do you want me to call you out of the guest rooms one by one?"
Bah!
He slapped the Weisheng Knife on the table, which made the fat shopkeeper's eyes jump.
“Three businessmen died in your inn yesterday. The cause of death has not yet been determined. It is still unknown whether your family is suspected of murder, but it will continue to open for business today!
Could it be that he wants to harm more people? ! ”
He took the initiative and slapped a big hat on the head of the shop owner.
The shop owner was so intimidated by his momentum that he couldn't use his cunning and slick spirit and stayed on the spot.
"Chen Liu, Mo Yun!" Wang An immediately added, "Bring all the guests in this shop over. I want to tell them in detail that three travelers died in the inn yesterday. The cause of death is unknown!"
"Yes!"
Chen Liu was excited and quickly agreed with Mo Yun.
He was gearing up and was about to rush to the backyard to have a fight, but was slightly stopped by Mo Yun.
When I was puzzled, I heard a pop at the counter.
The shop owner knelt down directly to Wang An and begged: "Sir, as soon as you spread this news, my family's business will be completely ruined!"
