Chapter 241 The snake-shaped wooden sign has made meritorious service
"These statues of evil gods must be destroyed and must not be left alive."
Lu Xiaochuan strode forward, intending to destroy the half-human, half-snake statue enshrined in the shrine.
When Qin Shaoyou saw that he was about to take action, he immediately became anxious. Isn't this a grab for food? He hurriedly said: "I'll do it myself, I'll do it without bothering you!" Then he raised the demon-suppressing hammer in his hand and hit the shrine with a thunderous force. He was afraid of the speed.
If you slow down, the duck that reaches its beak will fly away.
"boom."
The shrine and the statue were smashed to pieces by Qin Shaoyou's hammer.
But at the same time, a black light flew out from the broken statue, carrying a chilling evil aura and murderous intent, and shot straight at Qin Shaoyou.
"careful!"
Xue Qingshan and Lu Xiaochuan's expressions suddenly changed and they exclaimed in unison.
They all noticed that there was a strong demonic energy in the black light!
Xue Qingshan was even more enthusiastic and wanted to rush to rescue Qin Shaoyou, but his speed was not as fast as Heimang.
In an instant, the black light had shot into Qin Shaoyou's chest.
Although Qin Shaoyou raised his shield to resist at the first opportunity, the shield failed to prevent the black light and was directly penetrated through a traveling hole.
"not good."
Xue Qingshan was shocked. If Qin Shaoyou had something wrong with him, he would have no way to explain it to his wife, Lao Taishan and Lao Taishui after he went back.
However, a scene that stunned him and Lu Xiaochuan appeared at this moment.
Although the black light hit Qin Shaoyou's chest, it did not hurt him.
Because a piece of red light flashed on Qin Shaoyou's chest, blocking the invasion of the black light.
"Is that the snake-shaped wooden plaque?"
Qin Shaoyou's reaction was also very quick, and he immediately thought of the amulet given to him by the statue of the founder of Jiutiandang Demon.
This thing can really save your life!
Thank you, Grandmaster, and praise Grandmaster. I will definitely cook you more delicious meals when I go back.
Qin Shaoyou was very pleasantly surprised, but he did not forget what he should do. He raised the Demon-Conquering Hammer in his hand, stirred up all the energy in his body, and while visualizing the statue of Veda Bodhisattva, he hit it with all his strength.
The three runes on the Demon-Conquering Hammer were activated by Qin Shaoyou at the same time, and the billowing blood energy wrapped around the hammer's head showed a crimson color.
"boom--"
Qin Shaoyou hit the black light with a hammer and made it tremble.
Then the second hammer, the third hammer...
Hammer after hammer, like meteors falling to the ground, hit the black light one after another, smashing the black light transformed by the spirit of demons and ghosts into pieces.
The moment the black light disappeared completely, a new page of content was opened in the mysterious recipe in Qin Shaoyou's mind, and a new ingredient was included.
After the black light disappeared, the flashing red light on Qin Shaoyou's chest also dissipated.
Qin Shaoyou threw away the broken shield in his hand, exhaled a breath, and thought with lingering fear: "Just now, I was just trying to steal people's heads. I forgot that in this world, not only are demons and ghosts dangerous to people, but statues, utensils, etc. are also full of weird things.
and evil nature. If you encounter a similar situation again in the future, you must be cautious and careful, and do not lose your life due to a moment of negligence, let the neighbors come to my house to eat, and even grab the children to sit down
That table..."
"Stop traveling, are you okay?"
Xue Qingshan strode to Qin Shaoyou, checked him up and down, and after making sure that he was fine, he let out a sigh of relief.
Lu Xiaochuan, who was following behind, couldn't help but frown when he saw this scene.
He was certain that Xue Qingshan's concern for this boy came from the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't understand why Xue Qingshan cared so much about his subordinates. This nervousness, this anxiety, had gone beyond caring for his subordinates, and was more like caring for his relatives.
…
Could it be that this boy is Lao Xue's son?
No, the age doesn’t match...
Hey, I see that this guy has pretty features and is very handsome. Could it be that Lao Xue has some kind of relationship with him?
That is to say, Xue Qingshan didn't know what Lu Xiaochuan was thinking, otherwise he would have to fight with him.
If I can't defeat Senhu-sama, how can I defeat you, Deputy Senhu?!
At this moment, Xue Qingshan was curious about what Qin Shaoyou used to block the black light.
When he saw the snake-shaped wooden sign that Qin Shaoyou took out, he couldn't help but froze and said in astonishment: "This is the snake general sign of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch? Where did you invite it from? It actually has magical effects. It can
Protect yourself and save your life.”
"The Patriarch gave it to me." Qin Shaoyou replied, "We came to Jincheng this time. We have a mission. When we left, I went to put incense on the statue of the Patriarch of Jiutiandang Demon and asked him for his blessing. Then he gave it to me.
Got my snake-shaped wooden sign.”
When Lu Xiaochuan heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt, and asked in wonder: "Is the Patriarch so easy to talk to?"
He was thinking in his heart that when he returned to Jincheng Town Yaosi, he would put incense on the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch, ask for his blessing, and see if he could also give him a treasure or something.
Xue Qingshan glanced at Lu Xiaochuan.
Although this guy didn't say what he was thinking, as an old friend for many years, Xue Qingshan could tell at a glance what he was planning.
Xue Qingshan sneered and complained secretly: "I'm just daydreaming. Is the treasure of the founder of Jiutian Demon Dang so easy to find?"
Then he thought: "Shaoyou was able to get the Snake General tile probably because the dishes he cooked for the Patriarch were very appetizing. The Patriarch didn't want the chef he finally found to have an accident, so he gave him the Snake General tile.
Bless you... But isn’t it me who the Grandmaster values ? Why didn’t you give me any other benefits besides the spiritual food before? "
Qin Shaoyou didn't know what the two of them were thinking about. After summing up his experience, he found that as the half-human, half-snake statue was smashed and the black light was destroyed, the strange aroma with arousing effect began to weaken as expected.
Xue Qingshan and Lu Xiaochuan also noticed this situation.
They searched the house roughly, and after confirming that there was no problem, they took Qin Shaoyou out of the house.
Several people who had been entangled by the snake's tail had already been rescued by Monk Ma and Cui Youying. A large number of night watchmen who saw the Cloud-Piercing Arrow also rushed here one after another, including Sun Xianzong, Shan Daonian and others.
people.
Lu Xiaochuan gave orders one after another, asking the night watchman to separate the people who were hugging each other and screaming madly, and at the same time he sent people to rush back to the Demon Division of Luocheng Town to get spiritual supernatural items, so as to quickly control the minds of these people who were controlled by lust and the lower body.
people, return to sanity and normalcy.
The supernatural items were quickly delivered, and in the brothel, everyone who was confused by the aroma regained their senses under its influence.
Then there were exclamations, screams, and curses.
There were even some people who were struggling with the people around them while covering their bleeding buttocks.
The scene was very chaotic for a time, which greatly increased the workload of the night watchmen.
Fortunately, Qin Shaoyou and the others didn't have to worry about these nonsense, and they all stepped aside, eating melon seeds and watching the fun.
The half-human, half-snake monster from before also returned to its fully human form at this time.
Although she had multiple wounds on her body and was bleeding constantly, there were signs of improvement mentally.
According to the explanation of the old madam who regained her sanity, this woman is the courtesan in the brothel here. However, yesterday, she spent a lot of money to redeem herself. She is ready to become a good person, leave Jincheng and return to her hometown to find an honest man to marry.
All these years of savings lead to an ordinary life.
But I don't know why she turned into a monster inexplicably.
The room where the statue of the evil god was found was the residence of the courtesan, but the madam did not know that she had worshiped the evil god, nor did she know how long she had been worshiping it.
Lu Xiaochuan called a few close men and asked them to bring the Oiran, who had recovered her human form, back to Jincheng Town Yaosi for detention and interrogation.
At the same time, the relevant persons in this brothel must also be taken back and interrogated one by one.
After Lu Xiaochuan finished arranging some affairs, he handed over to Xue Qingshan and said: "Old Xue, I have to go back and sit in on the case, so I won't accompany you."
Xue Qingshan nodded and said: "Go quickly, business is important. There will be plenty of opportunities to drink in the future."
Lu Xiaochuan turned his attention to Qin Shaoyou again, smiled and said, "Boy, I think you are quite good, why don't you come to our Jincheng Town Demon Division? What future can you have in that small place of Luocheng?"
Xue Qingshan suddenly became unhappy: "Lao Lu, are you poaching in front of me? Also, why can't you have a future with me?"
Qin Shaoyou cupped his hand and declined politely: "Thank you for your respect, sir, but I still want to stay in Luocheng."
In the Demon Division of Luocheng Town, with my brother-in-law taking care of me, safety and promotion were guaranteed. But it was different after arriving in Jincheng.
In addition, Qin Shaoyou is not sure whether the statue of Jiutiandangmo Patriarch in Jincheng and the one in Luocheng are 'connected to the Internet' and can communicate with each other.
What if after coming here, I have to get close to the statue of the founder of Jiutiandang Demon again, wouldn't it be troublesome?
Not to mention, the mysterious nobleman who 'values' him is very likely to be in Jincheng.
Before he had enough strength, Qin Shaoyou didn't want to arouse his ideas and deal with him.
Xue Qingshan was very satisfied with Qin Shaoyou's answer. He patted him on the shoulder and smiled at Lu Xiaochuan: "Haha, Lao Lu, it's not easy to poach my brother-in-law."
Lu Xiaochuan wanted to say, 'Forget it, I wish you happiness'. After hearing Xue Qingshan's words, he hurriedly swallowed the words that came to his mouth and asked in surprise: "Is this your brother-in-law?"
"Of course, my wife's brother Qin Shaoyou." Xue Qingshan introduced.
Lu Xiaochuan suddenly realized: "It turns out he is my brother-in-law. Let me tell you, you, Lao Xue, can't be that kind of person..."
"What kind of person?" Xue Qingshan asked curiously.
"Well……"
How could Lu Xiaochuan dare to say that? He laughed, changed the topic and said: "My subordinates are calling me, I have to leave quickly. When the business is done, I will offer you a drink and say thank you."
After saying that, he cupped his hands and ran away as if running away.
Xue Qingshan took Qin Shaoyou and his group out of the brothel and returned to the inn.
On the way, Qin Shaoyou tried to trick him: "Brother-in-law, do you and Mr. Lu happen to be nearby?"
Xue Qingshan did not doubt that he was there, nodded and said: "Yes, otherwise we wouldn't have arrived so quickly."
Qin Shaoyou said "Oh" and then asked: "How is the girl?"
"It's quite good. It deserves to be the capital of the state. Let me tell you..." Xue Qingshan was very excited and wanted to brag.
Liao Yaosuo, Sun Xianzong and others who followed behind pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what the brothel in the state capital was like.
However, Xue Qingshan soon realized that something was wrong, and his expression changed instantly. He stopped bragging about the situation in the brothel, and changed his words with an embarrassed smile: "What about that? Girl, I didn't pay attention. I was just drinking. It's all for work...
"
"Haha." Qin Shaoyou just sneered.
Just drinking? Before telling this lie, could you wipe the rouge off your face first?
Xue Qingshan held back a cold sweat. Just when he was about to promise to please him, he suddenly reacted.
"Hey, why did you come so quickly again? Could it be that you are also nearby? Did you visit a brothel? Or went to Sand Dance Hall?"
"..."
Now it was Qin Shaoyou's turn to be speechless.
The two just looked at each other in silence.
The night watchman following them had already hid far away on his own initiative, not wanting or daring to get involved in this matter.
After a long time, Xue Qingshan spoke: "We didn't go anywhere tonight. We just assisted the people from Jincheng City Demon Division to investigate a case."
Qin Shaoyou nodded vigorously: "Yes, I just investigated a case."
They both let out a sigh of relief.
Then they heard a voice with surprise calling them: "Qingshan? Shaoyou? Is that you?"
The expressions of Qin Shaoyou and Xue Qingshan who had just relaxed suddenly changed again.
