I have a long pupil

Chapter 61

"Calling strange people and strange men, are you mistaken?"

"Why are you lying to me? I posted the announcement this morning. It also said that those who are selected can also enter the court as officials!"

"What a nonsense, only those foolish kings in the scriptures will do this. Could it be that the emperor wants to make alchemy?"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense about these words..."

People in Yujing City love to be lively and gossip.

Anecdotes and anecdotes from the imperial court, scandals in deep mansions, are all topics they like to talk about.

Zhang Biao shook his head slightly, not surprised.

The tunnels of Yujing City were exposed, and the skeleton camp caused many casualties. Coupled with the strange incidents in the past few days, the court must have reacted.

To be honest, it's a bit dull.

But it's also normal. Not everyone can react to the changes in the pattern.

Or rather, don't want to believe it.

This is the inertia of human thinking.

Even in the information-advanced world of the previous life, facing the changes of the times, there are always many people who close their eyes, prefer to stay in the comfort zone, and deceive themselves and others.

The court summoned strange people and strangers, nothing more than to deal with the changes in the current situation.

But in Zhang Biao's heart, he was not very optimistic.

It's very simple, those sects that have been passed down for a long time are still controlled by the upper power.

They are used to seeing the ups and downs of dynasties, and they are not within the rules of the world at all, so how can they believe in the loyalty of monarchs and ministers.

The collapse of the dynasty is in their interest.

Even Zhang Biao himself would not enter the dynasty.

He is too aware of the faces of the dignitaries in the court.

Xuanyang lineage, Fang Xiangzong, he has two sect inheritances, once exposed, there will definitely be many people who want to snatch it...

……

After leaving Fengyifang, Zhang Biao thought for a while, then headed for Yongfufang in Nancheng.

Where do Wang Xin and Tie Shouming live?

The accident happened yesterday, and most of them have returned home to recuperate.

When we arrived at Wang's house, sure enough, Wang Xin was lying on the bed humming, his face pale and trembling all over.

"It's better to resign from this job!"

The Queen Mother kept complaining, "So many people died a while ago, and this is another batch. Fortunately, I saved a little life."

"Look, I've got a cold, and now the price of the medicine is so expensive, the little money I earned so hard is not enough to buy the medicine..."

As he spoke, he didn't know what to think, and said in a low voice: "I heard that there is an old lady Bai in Tongyifang, and the Fushui is very effective. Many people go to seek medical treatment. Brother Zhang, you have a lot of experience. Is this true or false?"

"Mom, that must be a lie!"

Wang Xin covered his forehead and said helplessly: "It's okay to be cheated of money, who will give you a pension after eating to death..."

"Bah, bah, crow's mouth!"

Seeing the two quarreling, Zhang Biao said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just a cold. I happen to know some medical skills, and acupuncture can treat it."

As he spoke, he took out a needle from his bosom.

Wang Xin asked suspiciously: "Brother Biao, do you know how to do this?"

"I know more!"

Zhang Biao smiled slightly, without further ado, began to sterilize the needles, and then applied the needles for treatment.

He made a fool of himself, of course he knew why.

One is contracted with wind and cold, and the other is evil energy entering the body.

Ordinary doctors only treat wind and cold, and the natural effect is extremely poor. Just before he came, he specially read the volume of "Tai Shi Nei Jing" Taoist medical classics.

Practicing martial arts all year round, acupuncture and identifying acupoints are no problem.

Lie Que, Ying Xiang, Zhi Zheng, Feng Men...

Soon, Wang Xin's body was full of silver needles.

"Humph!"

While moving the needle, Zhang Biao hummed softly with the two-character tactic "Hum Ha".

"hiss!"

Wang Xin took a deep breath, only to feel that his mind was refreshed instantly, and then his whole body was sweating like rain.

"All right."

Zhang Biao put away the needles and said with a smile: "The external cold has been relieved, you just need to rest at home for a few days."

"It's so much more comfortable..."

Wang Xin's eyes lit up, "Brother Biao, since you have the skills, why don't you open a medicine hall, and I will quit my job to help."

The prince who was silent beside him also suddenly said: "Resign, there is another accident over there, if you continue to work, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life."

Zhang Biao was slightly taken aback, "What happened again?"

Father Wang used to be a six-door catcher, but he was not capable enough, not even a bronze medal catcher. Now he just does some chores like sweeping the floor and running errands.

Father Wang's eyes were a little frightened, "After the chief arrester came back, he set the entrance of the tunnel as a forbidden area and guarded it heavily. He often took people down, but he didn't know what to do."

"During this period of time, there have been people suffering from strange illnesses, with bones protruding from their bodies, like ghosts, and dying within a few hours."

"This matter has been sealed, so don't say anything when you go out..."

A few words sent chills down the spine of several people.

"Bones coming out..."

Zhang Biao said thoughtfully: "It's really dangerous over there. I never thought about opening a medicine hall, but it's better to resign from the six-door job."

"Row!"

Wang Xin also gritted his teeth, and said pitifully, "Brother Biao, I will hang out with you from now on."

"Let's recover from illness first."

After leaving the palace, Zhang Biao went to Tie Shouming to see a doctor again. The other party also got the news and had the idea of ​​leaving the six doors, but he hadn't made up his mind yet.

Zhang Biao was not reluctant, and after finishing these, he returned to Anzhenfang.

When approaching the door of the house, he saw Zhou Dalang.

The other party was limping, his clothes were torn, his face was black and blue, his eyes were red and swollen, and he looked like he had just cried.

Zhang Biao frowned slightly, "Da Lang, who is bullying you again, go, I will vent my anger on you."

Zhou Dalang is honest and stupid. After Zhou's father went blind, he was the one who sold live chickens and pork there.

In the market, there are people who slaughter dogs with righteousness, but there are many villains who bully good people.

"No, no, no..."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Dalang waved his hand hastily, returned to his home, and quickly closed the door.

Zhang Biao was stunned, shook his head, and returned home.

What happened to Zhou Dalang was just an episode, if the other party didn't want to ask for help, he wouldn't bother to do it.

There is only one thing on his mind at the moment.

Before, the prince said that someone from the six gates had a strange disease, and bones appeared all over his body, as if it was recorded in "You Xian Ji".

Back in the room, he took out the transcript of "You Xian Ji", and he searched it carefully...

…………

Next door, old man Zhou kept cursing in a low voice, "That Zhang Biao beat up the rogue, but he resigned from office. That's good, it's all on us."

"You're also a worthless thing. What's the point of us being alive? Let's hang ourselves together..."

He cursed and cursed, and began to cry again.

Zhou Dalang on the side paid no attention to it, lowered his head, and stared at the pigs in the pigsty in the distance.

His face was cloudy and uncertain, finally he gritted his teeth, turned his head and walked away.

"where did you go?!"

"I can't even scold you, you worthless thing! Huh..."

Behind him, Father Zhou kept cursing.

Zhou Dalang was limping, his face was full of madness, it took him a whole hour to reach the outside of the imperial city.

It was very lively outside the imperial city at the moment.

The people surrounded the circle, applauding loudly from time to time.

In the open space in the center of the circle, some people were playing snakes, some were breathing fire, and some were chopping straw paper with wooden knives, and strange patterns appeared on the paper...

In the distance, under the emperor's list, a row of soldiers guarded with guns.

Luan Moyan, the emperor's personal eunuch, sat on a chair.

How could he be cowardly in the palace at this moment, sitting on the chair, full of momentum, sipping tea carefully.

He looked relaxed, but actually frowned.

The emperor Zhao Mian entrusted him to handle the matter of summoning strange people.

It's a good thing and a bad thing.

Originally, this kind of absurd thing would definitely cause an uproar in the court, but what he saw with his own eyes this morning, except for a few stunned young officials, everyone else kept silent.

Things leaked.

He saw Prime Minister Liu Ji's anger,
I also saw the sneer at the corner of the emperor's mouth.

Full court compliments,

No one can be trusted!

Luan Moyan saw an opportunity and summoned strange people. If he managed it well, it would be a road to Qingyun.

It's a pity that since the imperial list was posted, there have been many visitors, but they are all liars who don't know what to do.

Luan Moyan was already a little annoyed.

He knew that in the crowd, the eyeliners of all parties were indispensable.

If this matter turned into a farce, his life would be lost!
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

At this moment, Zhou Dalang pushed away the crowd, limped to Luan Moyan, clasped his hands loudly and said: "Caomin has real skills, and is willing to serve the emperor!"

"Hahaha!"

"Another cripple!"

The surrounding people roared with laughter.

Luan Moyan noticed something strange, put down his teacup, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What are you capable of?"

Zhou Dalang gasped and said loudly: "I understand the language of birds and beasts, so I can talk to birds and beasts!"

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked around, and suddenly a strange hissing sound came out of his mouth.

"what-!"

"what's wrong!"

The snake charmer was suddenly unlucky, several tame poisonous snakes suddenly became fierce and directly gave him a few mouthfuls.

If the fangs hadn't been pulled out, he would have died on the spot.

The people around were stunned.

"it is good!"

Luan Moyan got up abruptly, came to Zhou Dalang in person, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, you are a stranger, the emperor is thirsty for talents, and Daliang Dynasty will not treat you badly!"

After all, he waved his hand.

Immediately a soldier came over with a box.

Luan Moyan kicked it away, pointed to the neatly piled silver, and said loudly: "The emperor has a decree, those who enter the court will be rewarded with five thousand silver first, and those who have made great achievements will be promoted to rank and can climb the Qingyun Ladder!"

The people around suddenly gasped.

Luan Moyan sneered when he saw the suspicious eyes of many people in the crowd.

So what if the news leaked out.

What others can give, the emperor will give more!

If you buy horse bones with thousands of dollars, you won't be able to recruit people!

In the envious eyes of his surroundings and in Luan Moyan's compliments, Zhou Dalang felt his whole body swaying.

After being frightened by the chicken monster's sneak attack that day, he found it strange, and strange voices often appeared in his head.

Gradually, he can understand the language of birds and animals, and even imitate their voices to command wild animals.

This discovery made him terrified.

I was impulsive before, and I couldn't stand the poor life and abuse anymore, thinking of taking a gamble, at worst, I would be beaten like a lunatic.

Unexpectedly, it really works.

Is this the feeling of being developed...

Zhou Dalang suddenly understood his father.

"Come here, come to congratulate me!"

After asking about Zhou Dalang's details, Luan Moyan immediately ordered the Jinwu Guards to bring tall horses and carry a box full of silver, beating gongs and drums all the way to Anzhenfang.

He knew very well what Zhou Dalang wanted...

Among the crowd, there was another young man who was the former tomb robber Tian Yue. His eyes turned red with envy, he gritted his teeth, turned around and left...

……

Anzhenfang, the small courtyard of the Zhang Family.

"found it!"

Zhang Biao found a page of notes, and a conversation on it mentioned this evil thing impressively.

That is a kind of demon, a rare bone demon!
The so-called demons are usually transformed from wild beasts, but the white bone demon is transformed from bones. It is good at hiding, sucking human essence and blood, and can transform into a human in the future.

This thing is full of treasures!

Zhang Biao was full of interest, but suddenly frowned and looked up, only to hear the commotion outside...
