Obviously, the reason why this place has such a situation is entirely because of the monster.There was no way to pass by land, and a large number of business travelers were stranded, and the goods they brought were shelved elsewhere.If it is replaced by water, it will cost a lot of money.
Several people reached the city gate, but soldiers stopped them.
"How many of them are foreign merchants?" The leader proudly ordered the officers and soldiers to look at them and asked with a serious face.
To this, Song Wuya responded directly: "We are not a business traveler, we are just passing through here."
"Oh? Is it just you guys?" The officers and soldiers looked at them and then came to understand: "It seems that you guys came here by water."
"That's right! Big brother, can you tell us what happened on this land route? Just now we heard from the boatman that the business travelers passing by land offended the mountain god and were punished by the mountain god?" Song Wuya did not directly explain the monster Beast, but also to avoid trouble.
Otherwise, the monsters they talk about become the beasts others talk about, and that will be troublesome.
"That's right! That's what people say. It's been a while since this incident happened. You can see that there is no one at the gate of the city, which is enough to show how serious this incident is." The officer and soldier said with a sigh.
The other people all looked lazy, chatting aside, it can be seen that no one has entered the city, which is also a good thing for them, saving them a lot of effort.
"Okay! You can go in now."
After being inspected by these officers and soldiers, Song Wuya and the others entered the city smoothly.
However, compared with the outside, the city looks very lively, not as depressed as the outside.
"Brother Wu Ya, it seems that the situation here is still good! I didn't see any panic on the faces of these people."
"The people in front give way! Make way!"
While he was talking, he heard a burst of yelling from far away in the street, Song Wuya took advantage of the situation and looked inside.
An ox cart was slowly walking towards this side, and the ox cart was pulling something, all of which were covered with red cloth.Several people dressed like farmers were driving a bullock cart.
In the blink of an eye, the bullock cart came in front of them. Song Wuya and the others looked intently, only to notice a few people dressed as Taoists following behind the bullock cart.
Holding mahogany swords in their hands, each of them muttered and didn't know what they were talking about.The mahogany sword was gesticulating in the air in his hand, as if doing some kind of ritual.
"What's going on here?" Bai Zhuo looked at the ox cart extremely strangely, and asked in surprise.
Song Wuya didn't even understand what it was for, but since there were Taoist priests, it must be related to ghosts.So it seems that the things pulled by the bullock cart may have something to do with these.Song Wuya guessed that the bullock cart that he ran into directly into the city might be related to the monster case they wanted to investigate.
"Brother Bai, don't worry about this for now, let's go to the magistrate's yamen and find that Han Jin magistrate." Although Song Wuya felt that this matter was strange, he didn't want to waste more time. Find this Zhizhou.
Bai Zhuo nodded, seeing that the ox cart was approaching in front of them, he took a few steps back to make way for the ox cart.
"Everyone, let it go, let it go!"
The farmer holding the whip was still yelling, and the few Taoist priests who followed continued to do the same thing.
The bullock cart came slowly, and the red cloth covering it tightly wrapped the contents inside the bullock cart, making outsiders more and more curious.
"Moo!"
The few people who were about to leave when the ox cart passed by saw the ox cart approaching them, and the slowly moving old cow suddenly raised its head and let out a loud cry.
Amidst the screams, the old cow suddenly stopped and swayed wildly.
"Bold and evil, you dare to offend, if you overthrow the things that were paid to the mountain god, you will definitely be sent to the eighteenth floor of hell!"
The old cow suddenly went berserk, and a Taoist priest who followed immediately rushed forward with small steps, and slapped the mahogany sword hard on the bull's head.There was a crisp sound, and the old cow that was shaking violently seemed to be hit by a huge object. As soon as the cow's head sank, it knelt down on the ground.
This scene made the surrounding spectators exclaim in surprise, such a miraculous event is by no means common.
"The cow knelt down!"
Exclamations came from the crowd, and people looked at the old cow kneeling on the ground and exclaimed.
The Taoist frowned tightly, with a serious expression on his face, and slowly withdrew the mahogany sword in his hand.Then he called out without looking back: "Red pen, yellow paper!"
A little Taoist boy immediately stepped forward, handed the ink pen and yellow paper to the Taoist priest, and stood in front of the Taoist priest holding a tray in both hands.
The Taoist raised the ink pen and drew scribbled gestures on the yellow paper like flying dragons and phoenixes. When he put down the ink pen and picked up the yellow paper, people could see clearly that it was a talisman seal.
"Evil animal, today the poor Taoist set up a curse of rushing to thunder, if you dare to commit another crime, the thunder will come down and kill you on the spot!" The Taoist said angrily, and came to the bull's head with a talisman in his hand.
Several Taoist priests came immediately, took the talisman respectfully, and surrounded the old cow.

Seeing this scene, the four of them stopped again and watched with interest.
Song Wuya saw one of the Taoist priests gently pasting the talisman on the brow of the bull's head, and the rest of them were all waving their mahogany swords around them, doing some inexplicable movements.
Seeing this scene, Song Wuya looked up at the sky, and said in a deep voice, "It looks like it's going to rain!"
Bai Zhuo and the others didn't know what Song Wuya meant, they looked up at the sky and didn't answer.
Several Taoist priests danced around the old cow, and stopped after about a cup of tea.
At this time, the old cow who had been writhing violently just now gradually calmed down.The legs that were kneeling on the ground suddenly exerted force, and stood up from the ground again.
"Huh! Daoist, is this all right?" The farmers in front were already trembling with fright at the scene of the old cow's riot just now, as if they were terrified.
The Daoist raised his eyebrows and said seriously: "I don't know why, this old cow will make trouble here, but fortunately, Pindao subdued him in time, if he does something that offends the mountain god, it will be troublesome!"
The expression on the Taoist priest's face didn't look too nervous, as if this had already been planned by him.
The old cow who calmed down continued to walk towards the gate of the city. It seemed that they were going out of the city.
Seeing the ox cart go away again, Song Wuya turned his head and said, "Let's go to the government office."
The four of them had just stepped forward when there was a dull thunder in the distant sky.
"Boom!"
The loud sound made the four of them slightly startled, and their footsteps also stopped.
"Moo!"
There was another bleat, as if frightened by the thunder.The four of them turned their heads to look at the same time, and saw the bullock cart stopped again.Song Wuya was very curious, what would the Taoist priest do this time.
Click!In the gloomy sky, a thunderbolt tore through the sky, and a dazzling light flickered in the sky for a while.
Immediately afterwards, there was another cry of a cow, and at the same time as the cry of a cow, there was a loud noise of thunder.Among the colleagues, the bullock cart in the distance suddenly burst into flames, and the people around screamed loudly.
"what!"
Amidst the screams, the crowd suddenly rioted, many people fled in all directions, and the scene became extremely chaotic.
