"Do you know what skills the Dragon King has?"

"Don't get me wrong! We are cultivators and we know how to do magic. Monks who know magic often discuss magic with each other. This is normal!"

The two senior brothers and sisters spoke one sentence each.

"How does this... little one know..."

The monster felt something was wrong, but he didn't dare not answer.

"Are there any other taboos?"

"It's taboo..."

The monster stood weakly on the spot, rummaging through his memory and thinking: "The one thing I remember is that when you see the Dragon King, you have to call him King Dragon, not the crocodile."

"Is there anything else?"

"One more thing... I don't know if it counts..." The monster paused and looked at him timidly.

"Just say it."

"It's just that humans are more powerful than monsters. Even if monsters attain enlightenment, they can transform into humans, speak human language, write human characters, and wear human clothes. I don't know what to say. Anyway, if you get there, they are all monsters, and real people are the worst."

It's better not to show contempt for the monsters, otherwise they will think you are looking down on them." The monster paused again, "They will be angry and sad."

"We naturally know this."

Lin Jue nodded, and his junior sister also nodded beside him.

"That's it, it's gone."

After the monster finished speaking, he looked at them with even more fear, as if he was afraid that they would kill people and silence them.

"Thank you very much for informing me."

Lin Jue bowed to him and changed the subject:

"However, it is still wrong for me to block the road here, harm people, and extort money. Logically speaking, I should hand it over to the priests and let the gods judge me. However, I am afraid that there are few gods here who fulfill their duties. I am worried that I will be punished if I go there.

They killed him immediately, and it was a pity that he was doing nothing but cultivating himself."

When the monster heard that he was about to hand him over to the priest, he immediately showed fear. Hearing the second half of the sentence, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fuyao."

Lin Jue turned around and took a look.

At some point, the huge three-tailed white fox next to it had become the same size as the twisted cat next to it. It was sitting on the ground, licking its paws.

On the contrary, the twisted cat looked confused.

When it heard Lin Jue calling it, it immediately understood, walked over, raised its paw, and touched the monster.

The monster quickly pulled up his trouser leg to check, and saw that there was a fox claw mark on his leg, which looked like a plum blossom, and then quickly disappeared.

"this……"

"Since you told us the matter, we are willing to let you go. However, after all, we are entrusted by others. No matter how helpless you are, you should not extort money and sacrifices from others if you have other reasons. Although we can not

I will hold you accountable, but you will have to pay back all the money you extorted."

Lin Jue said to it:

"You should know how you extort money and sacrifices. Since you have the ability to make others have to offer sacrifices and money to you after returning home, we also have ways to make things difficult for you. But don't be afraid. When you are about to

After all the money is returned, come to us and we will remove this seal for you."

"As commanded."

The monster trembled: "Where does the real person live?"

"In the south of Runze City, there is a place where villages and shops gather, which is quite prosperous and lively. From here, walk along the official road to Runze City. When you are about to reach that place, there is a small road on the left, which is dozens of steps away. It is more than 100 meters away.

There is a small thatched cottage in the courtyard with a peach tree planted in the yard, and we live there." Lin Jue said, "It doesn't matter if you can't find it. If you get closer, my Fuyao will know it and come to pick you up.

"

"The little one took note of it."

"As for what you just said, due to King Dragon Dragon's embarrassment, we will make up for the missing gift when the time comes. This should be regarded as a thank you gift to you."

"this……"

The monster was startled again.

"What? An accident?" Lin Jue smiled, "Simi brings us unexpected joy, we should also give him a share."

The monster immediately straightened up and bowed deeply with his hands in hand.

"It doesn't have to be like this. By the way, the government has posted a notice offering a reward. We won't take your head, but you can also leave us some evidence."

"Just think about it..."

Unconsciously, the bright moon is already high in the sky.

The monster finally left this place.

Under the moonlight, the two senior brothers and sisters looked at each other, both smiled, and felt a little relaxed.

Now that they have solved the problem of monsters here, and also know how to find the Dragon King, they feel confident and relaxed. This is the unexpected joy that the monster brought to them.

So they gave him one in return.

Immediately, Lin Jue put away the flying sword, and the junior sister put away the long sword and handed it back to Lin Jue. The two of them walked back under the moonlight.

There was no need to hide the fox and Caili anymore. Lin felt too lazy to carry them on his back, so he let them walk and jump around on their own. However, every time Caili looked at the fox, his eyes were a little dazed, or he couldn't believe it.

I couldn't walk back to the hut late at night, so I had to walk to Xiao's store.

I asked for directions to the Maodian, knocked on the door, and asked about accommodation.

"You can only live in this bunkhouse."

The store owner held an oil lamp whose light was not much brighter than the moonlight, opened a door and said to them.

Lin Jue looked around.

This thatched shop is actually similar to an ordinary family's house, and similar to the thatched cottage and courtyard where they live, except that it is larger and has more thatched cottages. There are many mules and donkeys tied up in the yard at this time, and there are also several other rooms in the thatched cottage.

There was a thunderous snoring sound. It seemed that thanks to the monster, many businessmen and travelers lived there.

"Just stay here."

"Give me the money first."

"oh……"

The junior sister reached into her arms and took out a string of copper coins, exactly twenty coins, which were well strung with a straw rope, and handed them to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper pocketed the money and held up an oil lamp to provide light for them.

Inside the door is a large bunk, extending from the far left to the far right of the room. It is covered with thick thatch and has several rolls of bedding. There is already a person lying in the corner, but there is still a wide space. Look carefully,

It was Qiao Xuefu whom I met earlier.

Lin Jue smiled.

"Well..."

The middle-aged man also woke up. He opened his eyes and looked through the light. After careful identification, he was suddenly surprised: "Are they you two?"

"Yes, it's really fate."

"Didn't you move forward? Are you walking back because you were afraid of monsters?"

"Not even close."

Lin Jue answered him with a smile.

Then he went in, put down his backpack, climbed onto the bunk, and sat down on the other side of the bunk.

There are no conditions for this kind of place, just a place to keep warm, shelter from the wind and rain, a place to lie down, and a place to sleep, and you can't be picky about anything else.

"No one will come tonight. There will be breakfast tomorrow morning. It costs five cents per person. There are vegetable dumplings and an egg. If you want to eat, come to me."

The storekeeper said something and then closed the door and went out.

As soon as the oil lamp was gone, the room suddenly became dark, with only a small window above the head letting in a little moonlight.

The two of them also seemed to lie down and sleep.

The middle-aged man has doubts.

These two people always made him feel a little strange.

However, the two parties only met by chance and were strangers to each other. Moreover, it was late at night and he was woken up in the middle of his sleep. His mind was still a little confused and he didn't want to ask any more questions.

He thought to himself that if these two people were monsters, they would have harmed him on the road just now. If they were robbers, he only had five coins on his body, and he had nothing worth them. His life was miserable and cheap, so what should he be afraid of?

Then he squinted his eyes and fell asleep again.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of my sleep, I suddenly saw the lights in the room turn on.

I opened my eyes again in a daze, thinking that someone was coming again in the middle of the night, but when I raised my head, I saw that the door was closed and another lamp was lit in the room.

Strangely, there was no oil in the lamp, only light.

The two people sat cross-legged on the bed and talked to themselves.

In addition, everything was hazy, like a misty fog covering the room, making things visible but not clear.

Not only can't he see clearly, but he can't hear clearly what the two people said to him. But the strange thing is that he can't hear clearly the words they uttered or the sentences they said, but he knows what they mean to him.

"Mr. Qiao, you're polite. In fact, we are not pedestrians on the road, but Taoist priests from Yishan. We are not going anywhere at night. We are here specifically to find the monster."

Middle-aged people are emotionally dull and don't know how to answer.

And he didn't answer.

I vaguely realized that this might be a dream.

The two figures sitting on the other side of the Tongbu seemed to know this, and said to themselves:

"Meeting Mr. Qiao was a fateful encounter. I never thought that there would be an unexpected fate, and Mr. Qiao's moral behavior is admired by demons, ghosts and people alike.

"Now that the monster has been caught by us and ordered to return all the money and not to cause trouble in the future, the matter is settled.

"Although this monster has never killed anyone, only causes trouble at night and does not cause major trouble, and it only started causing trouble recently, the Runze County government still posted a notice offering a reward. The reward is not much, just twelve taels."

The middle-aged man did not speak or move.

It doesn’t even seem like there is a “self”.

There is only one perspective in the corner of Tongpu, where you can see the scene and hear the sound.

"Thinking of our fate with Mr. Qiao, and thinking that Mr. Qiao's life would be difficult after paying off his debts, we placed the token left by the monster under the poplar tree on the right side of the Guandao entrance when we left the thatched shop. If Mr. Qiao was interested, he could

I heard that after the monster returns the money, take the token to the government to receive the reward, and just tell the truth."

The light in the room slowly dimmed.

The consciousness of middle-aged people seems to have disappeared.

When I woke up, it was already early in the morning.

The door of the thatched hut was wide open, and the early morning sunlight had already poured in. The house was full of dust, and two dogs were barking in their baskets.

"Ouch……"

Middle-aged people feel particularly dizzy and dazed, as if they have overslept.

"last night……"

The middle-aged man vaguely remembered that he had a dream, which was quite strange.

He quickly turned his head and took a look inside the house.

The two young men have long since disappeared.

"..."

The middle-aged man shook his head and put aside his distracting thoughts, stood up, put on his shoes, and carried the bamboo pole on his back.

What happened last night was obviously just a dream.

He felt that he was always thinking about the monsters on the road yesterday. In the past few days, he had been thinking about such monsters, ghosts, gods and wonders, so he had such a dream at night.

Dreams are such strange things.

It's even less worth taking seriously.

Where can such wonderful things come from in the world? Not to mention such magical things, even such good things as giving you money have never happened.

As for the headache, it was probably caused by catching a cold from the wind yesterday or not sleeping well in this thatched cottage.

I overslept, and it was already afternoon when I walked home.

After waking up, the dream was already blurry. The middle-aged man quickly put it behind him and went home with a backpack on his back.
Chapter completed!
