Zhuge Wolong!
A character in the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", most people who have watched the movie think that this person is probably the decent hidden waves of the "A Chinese Ghost Story", otherwise it cannot be explained why, except for ordinary people, even the Kunlun School monks call him seniors. As for why this person did not participate in the later battle of the centipede demon...
Many people think that Ning Caichen has never thought about this concept at all and is too far away, so he can only ask Yan Chixia, who has a more impressive impression in Lanruo Temple, to help.
Now Liu Qi, who has collected information about Zhuge Wolong from Guobei County and other officials, can be sure that Zhuge Wolong should be the kind of decent hidden waves!
After all, one of the famous scholars of the Great Wu Dynasty, Zhuge Wolong, who was dismissed from all official positions more than ten years ago because his national teacher Pudu Cihang contradicted the current emperor, finally disappeared. He said that this guy is simple, does anyone believe it? Especially in this low-level fairy tale world with demons and monsters...
***************************
Jinhua County Town
Compared to Guobei Town, which is chaotic but at least on the surface, Jinhua County gives people a feeling of the Camel Country after the battle.
There was no one at all when walking on the street where people were supposed to be coming and going. It was common to see a certain body on the street from time to time. If it weren't for feeling the figures and whispering in the surrounding houses, Liu Qi would have thought it had become a dead city.
"Stop! We are the yamen runners who caught the fugitives!!" Just as Liu Qi was feeling a little moved, a group of yamen runners carrying steel knives, shields, and crossbows appeared in front of Liu Qi, shouting and let Liu Qi and several soldiers behind him stand for inspection.
Of course, Liu Qi, who has watched the three parts of "A Chinese Ghost Story", has a full understanding of the character of these so-called yamen runners. In addition, his current identity and strength have changed, of course he will not surrender like a good citizen in the real world.
"Take it down for me, try not to kill anyone!" After taking a look, Liu Qi was too lazy to fight with these detectives who could at most have some superficial skills.
“Yes!”*n
Several followers of strengthening soldiers heard Liu Qi's order, and without hesitation, rushed towards the constables who thought they had encountered fat sheep and planned to come up and make a move.
Then a burst of collisions between weapons and ** sounded like a pig killing scream. The constables, who were at most strong, were completely vulnerable in front of the strengthened soldiers and were soon knocked down by the strengthened soldiers.
Of course, at Liu Qi's order, the soldiers intensified did not kill anyone, but there were still a few unlucky guys who had broken muscles and bones.
"I ask, you answer! If there is something to hide, I believe you know the consequences!" Liu Qi walked to a constable who was obviously dressed better than others, and ordered with a smile.
"Yes! Yes! Just ask if you have anything, the villain will definitely answer!" The headmaster, who belongs to the group of constables, fully demonstrates what it means to change the throne. After seeing Liu Qi's outfit and the skills of the guards around him, he secretly muttered to the iron plate.
Now when Liu Qi asked, even though he was in a state of unbearable pain, he nodded and bowed to Liu Qi with a flattering face.
"Very good, take me to see your county magistrate!" Liu Qi looked at the other party and issued his order directly.
"County magistrate?? OK! OK..." After seeing Liu Qi's playful eyes, the captain suddenly shivered and agreed.
The captain felt very keenly that if he dared to reject this proposal, the consequences would be absolutely bad. Although he was worried about the bad consequences that he would have when he brought this strange man to the county magistrate with the guard. However, the captain had no choice at the moment. It is better to die fellow Taoist than die, right? As for what the county magistrate would... let's consider it after meeting!
"Very good, this is the advance payment for you! Now take me to meet the county magistrate of Jinhua County!" In order to improve the efficiency of these constables who were struggling to rest on the ground, Liu Qi threw out a stack of golden leaves.
"Yes! Young Master!" The constables who were originally moaning and were as if they had taken stimulants, looked at the captain with jealousy and then kept a stack of golden leaves temporarily. Everyone's movements became quick.
After arriving at the county government office, Liu Qi talked with the county magistrate for only a quarter of an hour. The county magistrate followed Liu Qi respectfully, and then searched out all the prisoners' files in the county government office in Jinhua for Liu Qi to check and analyze them carefully.
***************************
Jinhua County Prison
The prisoners in one cell were lying in the cell moaning or talking. From time to time, there were prisoners who were obviously crazy or had mental problems who suddenly shouted or smirked at the prison door.
Zhuge Wolong, whose hair was gray and whose appearance was similar to a madman, was slowly lying on a pile of ragged straws that had been left for unknown amount of time, watching his jail friend grabbing his hair and lice on his clothes under the rare sunlight revealed in the window two days ago.
"Old guy, don't you come and have some hair drying?" The inmate who was said to have killed several merchants and robbed money, looked at Zhuge Wolong's appearance on the straw pile and said kindly.
"Forget it, it's the same whether my old bones are sunburned or not..." Zhuge Wolong, who was lying on the straw pile, shook his head and said with some self-deprecating words. The murderer who had only been in prison for more than ten days did not say much when he saw Zhuge Wolong's appearance, and continued his own actions of basking in the sun and eating lice.
"It's strange... why have I been restless since the day before yesterday, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger..." Zhuge Wolong, who was lying on the straw pile, did not sleep, but frowned and confused in his heart.
Zhuge Wolong didn't know when this last time he had this emotion, but the situation was definitely not easy when he became more and more uneasy, which made Zhuge Wolong not even interested in participating in the activities necessary in prisons such as basking in the sun on weekdays.
"Cruff--" Suddenly, the door of the county prison suddenly opened, and a harsh sound made, and several jailers walked in.
"Old guy, the county magistrate wants to see you!" Several prisoners walked to Zhuge Wolong's cell. In the cell, Zhuge Wolong's eyes were somewhat surprised. The prison officer who had no friendship with Zhuge Wolong said carelessly.
"Mr. County Magistrate? See me, the old man?" Zhuge Wolong looked at the prison officer and pointed at his nose in surprise and asked.
"Yes! Come out quickly!" The prison officer was too lazy to say more to Zhuge Wolong, a prisoner who could be crushed to death at any time in his eyes, and directly covered his nose and ordered the prison guards to take Zhuge Wolong out.
Zhuge Wolong, who had just left the prison, didn't know that when he was just taken out of the prison, several strengthening soldiers entered the prison under the guidance of the dictionary of another county prison. They took away all the books he wrote in Zhuge Wolong's cell without even a piece of paper, and even used a high-precision camera to record all the handwritings of Zhuge Wolong on the wall.
This is also one of Liu Qi's orders. Maybe some of the secrets of Zhuge Wolong's power can be found in these things. Of course, if you can't find it, Liu Qi is not worried. Anyway, Zhuge Wolong himself is here, it would be OK to find him if he really can't!
Zhuge Wolong, who was not sure that his cell had been completely confiscated, is now on the way to meet the county magistrate of Jinhua County.
***************************
County government office
Zhuge Wolong was taken over from the escorted prison guards by two attendants and brought to an outside room.
"Get in!" With the indifferent voice of an enhanced warrior dressed in a servant, Zhuge Wolong, who felt something was wrong, was pushed into a room.
"Mr. Zhuge Wolong, I have long admired my name..." Liu Qi said with a smile at Zhuge Wolong himself.
"Who are you?" Hearing Liu Qi's words, Zhuge Wolong put away his crazy appearance and asked Liu Qi word by word.
"The person who is looking for you..." Liu Qi looked at Zhuge Wolong's serious look and said with some fun.
"..." Zhuge Wolong looked at Liu Qi silently. Although he looked disheveled and his clothes were covered in mud, his bright and bright eyes combined with the inexplicable temperament that showed standing there, no one dared to underestimate him.
Zhuge Wolong was actually quite embarrassed when facing Liu Qi. As a Confucian Haoran righteousness, he was good at dealing with gods, ghosts, monsters, etc., but when dealing with humans, Haoran righteousness is not as good as martial arts. After all, Confucian Haoran righteousness is not the kind of power that can directly generate lethality, but it has miraculous effects in facing those evil demons and heretics.
"It seems that Mr. Zhuge Wolong is helpless? Then let me see the situation!" Although Liu Qi was not very clear about this, after mental scanning and sensing, he still could not feel the danger of Zhuge Wolong, so Liu Qi chose to take action directly.
"You dare?!!" Seeing Liu Qi stretching out his hand, Zhuge Wolong, who had a bad premonition, shouted loudly!
Unfortunately, Liu Qi was neither a demon nor a ghost possessed. He ignored Zhuge Wolong's arrogance that contained great righteousness. Liu Qi stretched out his hand and knocked Zhuge Wolong out of nowhere.
"Tsk tsk...this is too inferior, right?" Seeing Zhuge Wolong's unresisting appearance, Liu Qi, who was still not sure about Haoran's righteousness, looked at Zhuge Wolong, who was already unconscious on the ground. After repeatedly confirming that this guy was not pretending to be dizzy, he really fainted, Liu Qi said with some exclamation.
This is the decent hermit power in the world of "A Chinese Ghost Story"? How did you directly become like this vulnerable when facing yourself? Is it too strong or is it too complicated to think about the power of Zhuge Wolong...
However, when Liu Qi took out a Thousand Illusion mask to cover Zhuge Wolong's face, he quickly understood the true face of Haoran's righteousness. (To be continued...)
