PFC Chapter 209 Evil Town
Chapter 209 Evil Town
Wencai drove the car, using his spiritual inspiration to navigate the way, along the official road to Guobei Town, with Ning Caichen sitting in the passenger seat.
"Brother Xu, what is this? It looks like an iron sedan chair, but it runs faster than a horse."
Ning Caichen looked at the car curiously and asked Xiang Wencai.
"This is an armored vehicle, a mechanical device created by the Mohist school."
Wencai replied randomly.
Ning Caichen nodded repeatedly and said, "So that's how it is. It turned out to be a Mohist mechanism."
According to Mohist legend, there is a mechanical art that can create mechanical men and mechanical birds.
Scholars also know something about it.
Wencai drove slowly, feeling no pressure at all.
After all, this is the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, kill the Black Mountain Demon.
Go back and coax the great god Yan Chixia, just follow the plot and you will win easily.
This is a very simple copy.
If possible, you can also try out the gentleness of the ghost girl Xiaoqian.
In the original plot, Ning Caichen went to Guobei Town. The sky was full of dust and it rained all the way, which was extremely miserable.
Wencai, however, drove a Ford sedan and didn't have to suffer at all.
Halfway through the journey, it really started to rain heavily.
Through the car window, Wencai vaguely saw a dozen bandits fighting with a swordsman.
Looking at the swordsman's face, Wencai felt somewhat familiar.
"Mission issued. Save Xiahou Swordsman from death. Reward: one bottle of medium-quality strength water, one bottle of medium-quality life water, and one thousand merit coins."
After receiving the system prompt, Wencai then remembered that the swordsman was the unlucky guy who fought with Yan Chixia at the beginning of the story and was seduced by the female ghost Xiaoqian who sucked away all his yang energy.
A medium amount of strength water can increase strength by 5 points, and a medium amount of life power can increase the upper limit of life by 500 points.
There are also one thousand gold coins.
Xiahou is actually a treasure.
We have to save him.
It was so hard to see Xiahou fighting in the mud and rain.
In just a short while, Xiahou killed all the bandits and took away their money bags one by one. Finally, he cut off a head and tied it around his waist.
"Brother Xu, go quickly, go quickly."
Seeing Xiahou killing people like cutting grass, Ning Caichen's face turned pale and he urged Wencai to drive faster.
Wencai parked the car next to Xiahou.
"Where is the evildoer?"
Xiahou saw an iron-shell monster stop beside him and raised his sword to chop it.
"Don't panic, brother. This is my armored vehicle."
“It turned out to be a mechanism.”
Xiahou put down the big iron sword and looked at the mechanical car curiously.
"Brother, it's raining heavily. I'm going to Guobei County. If it's on the way, I can take you with me."
Wencai extended the invitation.
"Thank you. I will obey your command."
Xiahou got into Wencai's car generously.
A man of great skill and courage is one of them. Xiahou is not afraid of literary talent, nor is he afraid of any mechanical skills.
When the co-pilot Ning Caichen saw Xiahou sitting in the back seat holding a human head, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. When he smelled the blood from the head, he felt nauseous and almost vomited.
"Go outside and throw up."
Wencai opened the car door and Ning Caichen got out and started vomiting violently.
When Xiahou saw Ning Caichen vomiting non-stop for a head, he couldn't help but look down on the two of them.
When we arrived in Guobei County, the heavy rain stopped.
Wencai wants to take Ning Caichen to collect the debt, while Xiahou takes the head to the government to collect the reward.
After saying goodbye to Xiahou, Wencai took Ning Caichen to the most prosperous street in Guobei County according to the address and found Renjia Inn without any effort.
The inn was doing good business, and all the people staying there were from the martial arts world.
Guobei County is an important north-south transportation route, and there are twenty or thirty mountain strongholds around it that specialize in robbing and collecting tolls for a living.
The common people in such places are naturally miserable, but for the people in the martial arts world, it is a treasure land.
The escort vehicles of the Shang clan traveling along the main transportation routes are all big pieces of fat meat, and these gangsters can turn into bandits at any time.
If there is no business, they can also transform themselves into knights and go up the mountain to capture bandits and collect rewards.
If there are really no escort vehicles or bandits, they can just rob nearby villages, kill the common people and collect the rewards as bandits.
As a result, inns, restaurants, brothels and coffin shops in Guobei Town are all hot businesses.
As soon as he entered the inn, Wencai saw a very familiar face.
"Boss Ren, it's actually Ren Fa?"
Wencai was shocked when he saw Boss Ren.
This person looks exactly like Ren Tingting's father Ren Fa, the old man Ren who turned into a zombie.
Seeing Boss Ren with a ferocious look on his face, Ning Caichen was a little timid and didn't dare to go forward to collect the debt.
"Go, or I'll sell you to be Kun's husband first."
After Wencai shouted, Ning Caichen's face turned pale. He walked to the counter reluctantly and said to Boss Ren bravely.
"Boss Ren, in April this year you borrowed seventy taels of silver from Qi Baozhai and promised to pay it back in three months and give three cents of interest every month. Now five months have passed and you haven't paid back a penny. What do you have to say about this?"
As expected of an educated man, Ning Caichen, although timid, speaks clearly and logically.
As he spoke, he took out the account book and IOU.
In the original drama, Ning Caichen was in a hurry to travel in the rain and his account book got wet, so he didn't get a penny.
He is a complete good-for-nothing, who could not even study and even soaked the account book when collecting debts.
Apart from playing with female ghosts, I can't do anything else.
Boss Ren raised his head, patted Ning Caichen and said, "It's Accountant Ning. I'm sorry, but my account is running out of money. Please forgive me for the money for a while. I'll pay it back when I have more money."
Not even giving a clear deadline for repayment, it's obvious that he's defaulting on his debt.
"You, you give me the money back, or I will report it to the police and ask the county magistrate to seek justice."
Ning Caichen said angrily.
When he got angry, his voice became sharp.
Not only did it fail to intimidate Boss Ren, but it also caused the other people in the inn to burst into laughter.
Let Magistrate Wang of Guobei County do justice.
Isn't that a joke?
It would be more practical to ask Mao Huzi, the leader of the Black Wind Village, to seek justice.
Being laughed at by everyone, Ning Caichen glanced at Wencai and motioned him to come and show off his power.
But Wencai laughed along with the other gang members, and laughed the loudest, ignoring his cries for help.
If Wencai takes action, there are a hundred thousand ways to get the boss to pay back the money.
But if Ning Caichen did this, he would get the money and would not go to Lanruo Temple for dinner at night.
Without Ning Caichen and Xiaoqian, the conflict between Yan Chixia and the Black Mountain Demon would have disappeared.
If Yan Chixia doesn't kill the Black Mountain Old Demon at that time, the mission will be difficult.
"Young sir, why don't you ask around? Where is our Guobei County? If you go to report to the magistrate, the magistrate will charge one hundred taels for opening the court, another one hundred taels for arresting the person, and another one hundred taels for the trial. If you can't pay by then, you will be beheaded like a white duck by Magistrate Wang. Hehe, I heard that the detectives in the yamen all have that kind of hobby. A white-fleshed sir like you will definitely suffer before you are beheaded like a white duck."
Guobei County is notorious and a place of moral decay throughout the surrounding area.
The officials are corrupt and the people are unruly.
The people were lazy and greedy, and whenever they saw a money house outside the county, they would borrow money.
The money was never paid back.
If any accountant dared to come and ask for money, hundreds of unruly people would chase and beat the debt collector with hoes and forks.
This county is so stinking that it is unbearable within a radius of a hundred miles.
Only a scholar like Ning Caichen, who had just failed the imperial examination and knew nothing, would lend money to people in Guobei County.
"What do you mean by beheading a white duck? What hobbies do constables have?"
Ning Caichen asked like a newbie.
A vicious man with a naked upper body and a nine-ring knife in his hand stood up and said, "You will be punished for killing the white duck and die for the rich. As for the constable's hobby, it is what you scholars call a gay. What do you think? My dear, I have this hobby too. If you become my sworn brother, I will collect the old man's debt for you."
When Boss Ren heard that Jiuhuandao was going to stand up for Ning Caichen, he was shocked.
This person is not easy to mess with.
If Ning Caichen was willing to sacrifice himself and become this man's "brother", he would really pay back the money.
Ning Caichen also understood now.
The government officials are ruthless and ruthless, and the gangsters in front of us are even more difficult to deal with.
He shook his head, stepped back a few steps and shouted, "No, I don't want to be your brother."
Having said that, he didn't care about Wencai and fled out of Ren's Inn.
