Chapter 25 Beggar
Of course, this so-called immortal is a little different from what he knows.
It is just the name given to people who practice cultivation by the world.
They themselves would not call themselves immortals.
For them, immortality is also an illusory state that they have always been pursuing.
“It’s okay not to know these things.”
Yan Xiaowu waved his hand nonchalantly, and suddenly said with a hint of sarcasm: "Hey, I heard that you were promoted to the Demon Patrol Guard with the personal nomination of General Li."
"You said you didn't see the immortal who controlled the five-colored clouds, so why did General Li treat you differently? As far as I know, this General Jingyao is famous for being impartial. Even if you are his biological son, he would never show favoritism to you. Tell me, what is the relationship between you two?"
"Could it be that you are related to that immortal?"
Jiang Zhou smiled at the tentative meaning in his words and said with the same expression:
"Brother Yan, I also made some inquiries a few days ago. I heard that there seems to be only one person in Nanzhou who can make our General Li give face and change the affairs of the department. He is the Nanzhou Chief Constable of your Ministry of Justice. Thank you, sir."
"I escaped a disaster last time because you helped me secretly, right? Brother Yan, could it be that the person above you mentioned is actually this Chief Constable? Can you tell me what your relationship is?"
"Brother Jiang, are you drunk? I don't understand what you are saying."
Yan Xiaowu looked confused.
Jiang Zhou rolled his eyes: "I was drinking tea, thank you."
"Well, I still have a case to handle, so I won't say any more to you. See you later."
Yan Xiaowu picked up the knife on the table, stood up and left.
Halfway through the journey, I turned back and saw:
"By the way, didn't you say last time that you could write a storybook? I'm now very curious about what kind of storybook you can write. Don't forget to show it to me next time we meet. Now we're going!"
This kid seems to have a very powerful backer, and that purple-robed chief detective is clearly not done yet.
Jiang Zhou looked at his departing back, stroking his chin.
Sitting alone by the railing, listening to the ups and downs of the storyteller's voice below, while thinking about his own situation .
After a while, Jiang Zhou also got up and left. Now was not the time for him to enjoy himself leisurely.
After leaving the building, Jiang Zhou walked towards the direction of Sujingsi. He had not walked far when he passed an alley and heard a mournful cry.
Turning around, I saw a group of people gathered in a circle, pointing and talking at a green locust tree from a distance.
Out of curiosity, Jiang Zhou walked over.
"Master, I beg you to have mercy and save my husband, wuuuu..."
Jiang Zhou walked through the crowd and saw a young woman in mourning clothes, kneeling on the ground, crying and kowtowing, begging.
There was a stretcher next to her, and on the stretcher lay a man, no, a dead man.
And the death was extremely tragic.
The entire corpse was blood red, all the skin had been peeled off, the muscle texture was clearly visible, and not a single bit of it was damaged.
But it was oozing with some thick mucus and blood.
His chest was ripped open, revealing glaring red flesh.
However, there were no internal organs or other objects in the abdominal cavity, it was completely empty.
With a corpse like this, it’s no wonder that the onlookers stayed so far away.
Anyone who sees this thing and dares to stay and eat melons is already extremely brave.
Under the green locust tree, there was a beggar who was so dirty that it made people frown. He was half lying against the tree. His body was covered with black and sticky stuff. His face was so covered that his features could not be seen clearly. It was not known whether it was mud or some suspicious substance. Anyway, his stink was enough to stink for several streets in the wind.
The young woman was kneeling and begging him.
But the beggar kept snoring loudly and ignored him completely.
Jiang Zhou listened to the scattered discussions of the people around him and finally pieced together a general idea.
It turned out that the young woman was begging the beggar to save her husband's life.
This surprised Jiang Zhou.
Because the young woman's husband was the horrifically bloody corpse on the stretcher.
Even in this state, you still ask for help.
If this person could be saved, then wouldn’t the beggar be a god?
According to the discussions among the people around her, the reason why the woman came to the beggar for help was because the beggar had once given guidance to her husband when he was still alive.
People around him called her husband Wu Shusheng, a student at Bailu College.
It is said that this scholar Wu had just married a concubine not long ago, and was in high spirits.
I once met this beggar by chance on the street. When the beggar saw him, he said that he was possessed by evil spirits and must have met a demon.
As a Confucian student, Mr. Wu would naturally not easily believe the words of quacks.
Besides, that beggar doesn't seem to be up to the level of a sorcerer.
But somehow, a few days later, Wu Shusheng hurried to the street to find the beggar and begged him for help.
The beggar gave him a pair of worn-out shoes and asked him to take it back and hang it under the bedroom door.
Just by looking at the beggar's appearance, you can tell what like.
If you hang it in front of the bedroom door, can people still live there?
Wu Shusheng seemed really anxious to save his life, and he actually did as he was told.
The people around him didn't know what happened to Wu Shusheng afterwards, but seeing him lying here in such a miserable state, one can imagine what happened.
Jiang Zhou listened with curiosity, and he was now a demon patrol guard. If he encountered demons, he would definitely pay attention to it.
Listening to the woman's intermittent crying, I got a lot of information.
It turned out that Scholar Wu had been warned by his teachers at Bailu Academy that he had an evil spirit.
He said that the beggar must be a wise man and that he'd better listen to his advice.
That's why Scholar Wu hurried back to look for the beggar.
Later, he did hang the worn-out shoes given by the beggar on the door of his bedroom.
But later, the new concubine disliked the shoes because they smelled too bad and persuaded Wu Shusheng to throw them away.
At first, Wu Shusheng was reluctant, but he could not resist the beauty of his concubine. He was so attracted by her that he took off the shoes.
That night, Wu Shusheng was killed.
The next day he was found lying naked on the couch, his skin peeled off and his internal organs gone.
While the young woman was feeling sad, she recalled the advice her husband had given her teachers before he died. She knew that there were great scholars in Bailu Academy who were famous all over the world and whose abilities were no less than those immortals who were flying around in high places.
So he went to Bailu Academy and asked Mr. Wu's teacher for help.
However, that teacher was just a teacher in the academy, not a great scholar, and great scholars in the academy were not easy to find.
He then directed her to find the beggar, saying that since he could see that Scholar Wu was in trouble, he must be a wise and powerful man with special magical powers.
So the scene before our eyes happened.
As the woman continued to cry and beg, the beggar under the green locust tree suddenly turned over, let out a long groan, and stretched his body hard.
He cursed, "Who is it? You are making so much noise, what are you making noise about? Are you crying? You can't even sleep peacefully."
The woman immediately threw her head to the ground, begging repeatedly: "Old Immortal, please save my husband! My husband did not listen to good advice last time, which led to his death. I should never forget that the old immortal had mercy on me and saved my husband with his magic! Woo woo ~!"
