Rong Fei rarely showed such panic. The main reason was that the grimace appeared too suddenly and the distance was really too close. He and Rong Fei were almost face to face and breathing together.
Moreover, it is in front of the Zhenxian Stone. There are inscriptions written by Catcher himself on it, as well as the handprints of the four great saints. Logically speaking, gods and demons should be able to overcome changes and all ghosts should be immune to invasion.
Rong Fei howled and rolled to the side, but at the same time he did not forget to take out a fire blunderbuss from the storage jade ring. After rolling out of a safe distance, Rong Fei lay on the ground and aimed the fire blunderbuss at the ghost face, but after seeing it clearly, he
But he didn't pull the trigger immediately.
The owner of the ghost face was wearing a green soap coat from the Ji Xian Division, but there was no Hachi pattern on the chest, and the ghost face was actually nothing more than criss-crossed scars.
Behind the ghost face stood a hunchback. The hunchback was blind in one eye and had a horn hanging on his waist. He was currently staring at Rong Fei with his good eye.
"Hey, Uncle Peng, Uncle Zheng, why did you two come to the front? Sir, why are you lying on the ground?"
Gu Fengxiao, who was returning from fetching water, shouted quickly when he saw the two sides confronting each other.
"Gu boy, who is this guy? He looks strange."
Gu Fengxiao asked with a grimace pointing at Rong Fei.
"Hey, Uncle Peng, please put your hand down first. This is the new chief catcher, Mr. Rong Feirong."
Gu Fengxiao quickly ran to Ghost Face and broke off his hand pointing at Rong Fei.
After introducing Rong Fei, he pointed at the grimace and the hunchback to introduce Rong Fei.
"Sir, this is Uncle Peng who is in charge of the warehouse. Although he looks scary, he is actually a very nice person. This is Uncle Zheng who is on duty. Uncle Peng, Uncle Zheng, why did you two come to the front yard today?
?”
"Get paid."
Uncle Peng with a grimace raised the cloth bag in his hand and explained, then glanced at Rong Fei who got up from the ground, smiled, pulled the hunchback Uncle Zheng and left.
"Sir, please don't be as knowledgeable as them. Counting Uncle Liu from the case library and Uncle Zhang, the concierge who has been ill recently and has not come here, the four of them are old men in our Jixian Department. This is the attitude they have when meeting people."
Gu Fengxiao came to Rong Fei's side and explained while helping him wipe off the dust on his body.
"I was really shocked, but I'm fine now."
Rong Fei put away the gun and said with lingering fear.
After a period of rest, the exhausted spiritual energy in Rong Fei's body was replenished as the sleeping Xie Zhi puffed away mist. Seeing that it was still early, Rong Fei took Gu Fengxiao straight to Kyoto Prefecture on the next street.
After previous battles with two sword cultivators, Wang Tao and Wang Lang, Rong Fei felt that his current level of cultivation was still too low and he had to improve it as soon as possible.
And because of the practice of Contemplation, Ren Dharma Beast was cultivated in his body. Rong Fei had only one way to improve his cultivation, which was to solve the case and generate the aura of punishment for the Ren Dharma Beast to absorb, and then feed it back to improve Rong Fei's cultivation.
for.
If you want to find a case, your first choice is naturally Kyoto Prefecture.
Kyoto is so big that it would take an average person almost a whole day to walk from south to north.
But the power circle in Kyoto is very small. As small as what happened in Zuixianju half an hour ago, everyone from the first and second-rank officials to the low-ranking officials knew everything about it.
In just one day, Rong Fei became a celebrity in Kyoto.
Therefore, after the two came to Kyoto Prefecture to declare their identity and intention, they encountered no obstruction. Although the Kyoto Prefectural Governor did not show up, he was very considerate and sent his trusted master to take the two to the archives.
"To be honest, my governor is really happy that you two can come. Kyoto Prefecture governs two counties, nine towns, and more than a hundred villages with a population of millions. Countless cases, big and small, occur every day. The police officers in the government office
The officials' legs have been running thin all day long, but the speed of solving cases still cannot keep up with the number of cases reported.
Therefore, Mr. Fu Yin had to free up two more rooms to store case files that were not ready for trial and investigation. Please see, this file room was just vacated half a month ago, and it is almost full now.
"
The master opened the door of the case room, pointed at the mountains of cases inside, and said with a sad face.
"Because the manpower in the yamen is really limited, many cases are placed randomly, so we have to work hard to sort and file them by ourselves."
After the introduction, the master bowed his hands to the two of them and left in a hurry.
It can be seen that Kyoto Prefecture is indeed very busy.
Rong Fei had not touched a case for several days. When he saw the mountains of cases in the room, his eyes lit up like a hungry cat smelling fishy smell. He flexed his fingers and stretched his muscles.
After that, he took Gu Fengxiao to work.
They worked until it was almost dark, and finally divided the cases in the room into categories according to priority. Seeing that it was still getting late, they each took a stack of files home.
When Rong Fei returned to the house in Xuanwu Hutong, he saw Ji Rouer lying on the stone table in the yard, writing and drawing, muttering something about something.
Seeing Rong Fei coming back, Ji Rouer quickly put down her pen and paper and went to the kitchen to heat up food.
Rong Fei sat down at the stone table, picked up what Ji Rou'er had just been writing and looked through it, and found that Ji Rou'er was settling accounts. Looking at the displayed rent, medicinal material purchase and other expenses, Rong Fei smiled bitterly.
He shook his head.
Soon Ji Rouer came back with hot food. Rong Fei took the rice into his mouth, glanced at Ji Rouer's hands that were still wearing gloves and asked.
"How are you recovering? Take it off and let me see."
"It's only been three days, how can it get better so quickly? I won't show it to you now, I'll tell you later when I've fully recovered."
Ji Rouer hid her hands under the table and smiled.
Rong Fei curled his lips and didn't insist anymore. He took a few more mouthfuls of food and asked.
"Where's Brother Yu? Why haven't I seen him?"
"Brother Yu practiced Tai Chi for a whole day and said it inspired him a lot. Half an hour ago, a paper crane flew in from the yard. The paper crane seemed like a living thing and pecked at Brother Yu's ear a few times.
, it seemed that he was sending a message, and then Brother Yu went out, saying that he didn’t have to wait for him for dinner.”
"It should be the secret technique of Qiankun Temple, and the person who is looking for him should be Taoist Qingyang."
Rong Fei guessed, then pointed to the account books on the table and said.
"Want to open a medical clinic in Kyoto?"
"Yes. Although Brother Yu said that there are a lot of empty spaces here, so that the two of us can live there with peace of mind. But after all, it is not our own home, and after a long time, I felt uneasy. I thought that I should do some business to earn some money and buy a house by myself.
The house is where you can live with peace of mind.
I have inquired about the housing prices in Kyoto, and the ones in remote areas are not expensive. The money we have on hand is enough to buy a smaller courtyard, but the prices of vegetables and rice here are too scary. After buying the courtyard, the remaining
I don’t have much money left, so I thought about opening a medical clinic first, saving more money and then researching buying a hospital.”
Ji Rouer planned with her fingers.
"Open a medical clinic to make money? This joke is really funny."
Rong Fei struck mercilessly.
"Today is different from the past. When I was in Fencheng, the people who came to see the doctor were all neighbors. Life was already very tight, so it was hard to make money from them. It's different here in Kyoto. Everyone who lives here is rich.
People, if they don’t make money, they won’t make it in vain.”
Ji Rouer argued.
"Let's leave it to the medical center in advance. In the past two days, I found that the water in Kyoto is deeper than I thought. I guess we won't be able to stay here for long."
"oh."
Ji Rou'er made a sound and closed the account book full of handwriting.
"How are you doing with the exercises that Brother Yu taught you?"
Rong Fei suddenly remembered what Yu Qingzhi said about teaching Ji Rouer how to practice exercises.
"Hehe, let me show you."
Ji Rou'er became interested immediately after hearing this. She stood up with a treasure-presenting smile on her face and took a few steps back. After taking a few breaths, she stood sideways with her feet forward and back, her left arm in front and her right arm behind her.
Pull to make a bow and arrow shooting posture.
Immediately, a gust of breeze blew up around Ji Rouer, and a shadow that was more than ten feet tall appeared behind her. The shadow made the same bow and arrow movements as Ji Rouer, and its face could vaguely be seen to be that of Ji Rouer.
However, it carried a somewhat sharp and solemn aura.
A light point lit up in each hand of the phantom, and then the light points spread. The light point on the left hand turned into a long bow, and the light point on the right hand turned into an arrow.
The phantom stretched its bow and nocked an arrow, pointing diagonally at the night sky.
Rong Fei was fully anticipating the next move of the phantom, but the next moment the phantom slowly dissipated, and finally broke into countless light spots falling down.
Ji Rouer's pretty face turned red, her breathing became heavy, and there was a hint of sweat on her forehead.
"Brother Yu said that I haven't found something that I firmly need to protect in my heart, and I don't have enough evil intention, so I can't shoot the first arrow yet. Tomorrow, I will find a long bow and arrows for me to practice my archery skills and accuracy."
"Hmm, not bad, at least it looks pretty bluffing."
Rong Fei did not comfort Ji Rouer, but instead smiled and joked.
"Hmph, Brother Yu said that if the Immortal Killing Arrow is perfected, its power will be no worse than the God Catching Technique you practiced, or even more powerful."
Ji Rouer said unconvinced.
"Yes, yes, I am counting on you, Sister Rou, to protect me from now on."
The two of them were joking with each other while eating, feeling like time had returned to the small courtyard in Fencheng.
There is a tavern in a narrow alley in Nancheng. The cloth flags hanging in front of the tavern door look old, hanging listlessly. Occasionally, a cool autumn breeze blows, and the cloth flags are just symbolic.
A corner floated up, revealing the word "wine" written on it.
This tavern has no signboard or name, and it rarely opens its doors, so there are naturally no customers. Even many people living around don't know that there is a tavern here.
But every time the proprietress who still retains the charming charm of the tavern removes the door panel and quietly opens the business, some drinkers will appear quietly as if they have been waiting for a long time.
The proprietress of the tavern was sitting at a small table in the corner, ignoring the patrons who came to the door, and reading a shabby book alone.
The drinkers didn't say anything, they made their own drinks, picked up a few plates of side dishes to go with the wine, one person per table, and didn't have any communication with each other. They just drank and ate in silence, then paid and left.
Everything was done in silence and silence, as if some kind of ritual was going on.
Taoist Qingyang stood outside the door and watched the mime playing in the tavern. After all the drinkers had left, he walked into the tavern, stood at the table of the proprietress, and bowed.
