'My housekeeper told me: When your house was being renovated and expanded, a hole appeared in the exterior wall in the grass. So, if you have the chance in the future, you'd better go and repair it?"

Ximen Daguan also won't tell the other party that he had used that hole himself... The concubine of the Wang Man's family in front of him was so beautiful, her skin was smooth, and her voice was sweet...'

‘It’s okay, this matter is simple! If we still have a chance to go back, I will ask the servants to repair it!’

‘That’s good!’

'Ximen Daguanren, it's getting late now. Let's go and burn incense to the Buddha as soon as possible, let the Buddha show his spirit, take away the monster as soon as possible, and let us go home early?'

‘Haha! It’s the ultimate! Let’s go, go together and throw a few incense sticks of Buddha. It’s best if he can take action himself and take away the monster directly?!’

‘Let’s have a walk! Let’s go out and have two more drinks later?’

‘Great goodness!’

‘…’

Soon, after chatting with Wang Yuanwai next door to his house for a long time, he exchanged eyes with each other, and walked towards the main hall of Xiangguo Temple with tacit smiles, and made an appointment to go out to have a drink together later!

After all, they not only know each other, but also have neighbors, and the relationship is definitely very good!

'Amitabha!!'

After the two left, Fahai, who had been standing not far away, walked over and stood there where the two had just talked. He looked at the two people who had left and more pilgrims who came to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense. After looking at their sad faces for a while, he lowered his eyelids and chanted the Buddha's name low.

“Good, good…”

"Since there are monsters in Qiantang County that are causing trouble, it's time for me to take action to subdue monsters... Amitabha!!"

After pondering for a while, Fahai quickly made up his mind, which was: prepare to set off, go to Qiantang County to eliminate demons and eliminate harm for the people!!

Because, he knew that the Buddhist scholars who came to see the scriptures are still in Qiantang County, and are at Li Gongfu's home! Since that's the case, he should go to Qiantang earlier to see if he can help?

After all, Fahai himself can also gain a lot of merit by conquering the monster and stabilizing the side! Not to mention, the monster has killed thousands of people in front and behind, and has risen to the level of great harm in the world!

but……

Fahai was a little puzzled: Why did the Heavenly Court never react when there were monsters in the world who caused trouble and hurt so many people? Logically speaking, on a night of thunder and rain, they should have set up a net of heaven and earth and use thunder to directly kill the monsters. How could the other party make trouble until now?

Could it be that the Song Dynasty is about to perish, so the great monster came into being?!

But no matter what, Fahai knew that something seemed to be tying his heartstrings... Since he had heard about this today, he was destined to be! So, without further ado, he had to go to Qiantang County as soon as possible!

If he can prepare tonight, he will set out tomorrow morning. With his own foot strength, even if he does not use magic, he will definitely arrive in Qiantang County within one to two hours!

"Amitabha, who will go to hell if I don't go to hell..."

After making a decision in his heart, Fahai shouted a slogan again.

Afterwards, he stopped looking at the countless sentient beings in Xiangguo Temple who wanted to ask God to worship Buddha and were struggling in the sea of ​​suffering, but turned around firmly and took a big step towards his Zen temple.

Look at his way, he doesn't look like an elderly old Zen master at all.

Now, he has to prepare his luggage, magic tools, cassocks, Zen staff and the bowl he needs to subdue demons and demons, and then set out early tomorrow morning!

—————

"Li, Li Head!"

"Tell me, what should we do now! Brothers are really scared now. Otherwise, you can take us to run early, before the lake water spreads up and seals the road to Lin'an?!"

Until now, there are only less than twenty people in Qiantang County who can obey Li Gongfu's orders!

The other constables, officials and yamen helpers were either dead or ordered by their families to abandon their official positions and flee to Lin'an, or to Jinhua further south to take refuge! It can be said that in the entire Qiantang County, only Li Gongfu and less than twenty constables were remaining.

It would be fine if the monster was just making waves in the West Lake, even if it could not be defeated, they would not care about it and would not go near the lakeside of the West Lake.

But now...

I don’t know what happened to the water in West Lake, but it is actually spreading and rising day by day?

At the current rate of growth, it may be flooded to the city wall of Qiantang County in just a few days! At that time, under the intimidation of the giant monster that eats countless people, they may not even want to run away and can only be trapped in the lonely city of Qiantang!

"Tao Li, look at how many people are left in the city now?"

"Not to mention the peak of Qiantang County, just before the monsters appeared, there were thousands of households. It was estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of people! But now, all those who can run away have run away, and there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people left here!"

In front of the gate of Li Gongfu's mansion, the detective Xiao Liuzi pointed to Xiaose Street where there were almost no figures outside and said in grief.

The whole city is dead now, with no vendors or passers-by, no one dealing with dead leaves and garbage on the ground, and none of the shops are open. Apart from the occasional passerby who are in a hurry and have a sad face, how can this still look like the big city in the past?

In short, under the intimidation of the West Lake monster, under the gradual spread of the lake water, except for those who are unable to leave their hometown, who are not afraid of death, or those who are cheap, or those who are old and don’t want to leave, and those who are unable to leave, all the people who can leave in the entire county town have left! The only thing left in the Qiantang County Government is the only one of them who admires Li Toutou’s loyalty and is willing to live and die with each other.

Fortunately, they and the Li family were holding high the banner of the government to suppress some outlaws. Otherwise, there would be no need to wait for monsters to attack now. In the chaos, there would be such a kind of tragic human affairs that were full of conscience in the city.

"Walk?"

"Ha! Why are you going? If you want to go, you will definitely not leave anyway!"

"There are almost 20,000 fellow villagers in Qiantang. How could I, Li Gongfu, have the heart to abandon them and just go to escape by myself?"

"I won't leave, I'm just waiting for that monster here!!"

Li Gongfu, who had not washed up for several days and had already become dirty and dilapidated, looked at the little Liuzi and the brothers who survived and were willing to follow him at a glance, then he threw down the sword on his waist in a little annoyed manner and sat down on the steps.

"Brothers, I, Mr. Li, are not embarrassed by you. You are always good at sticking to this day, you are a hero!"

"Let's do this. I still have a lot of money in my family. I'll give you dozens of taels of money later. You can take your family with you and run away as soon as possible!!"

Sitting on the steps of his own house, thinking for a while, Li Gongfu, who had no good idea, planned to send severance payments to these loyal brothers who followed him, and let them take their families to escape! Anyway, Li Gongfu's family would definitely not run away, and they would definitely fight in Qiantang County until the last moment!

So, since this is the case now, he really doesn't care about money and other external things. Whoever likes to take them will save time and take advantage of the monster!

“…”

“…”

However, after Li Gongfu finished speaking, none of the several constables around him said anything, but just stood silently with his head down.

In fact, if they wanted to leave, they had long thought of some people and sneaked away. How could they wait until now to come here to tell Li Gongfu? And the reason why Xiao Liuzi said that just now was just a few complaints!

After all, there are so many people in such a big city and so many people, the court did not even take care of it. It just sent thousands of ordinary imperial guards to die, and then there was no further information. How could they not be frightened, afraid, or resentful?!

"cough……"

Seeing that these people stopped talking, Li Gongfu didn't know what to say, so he could only sit there and sighed heavily.

Before,

They originally planned to use Chun Sanshiniang's son as bait to lure the evil dragon to ambush the shore! But unexpectedly, before they successfully persuaded Chun Sanshiniang and his wife to "save their children to trap the wolf", the imperial army arrived first!

How could those ordinary troops who did not recognize the situation be the opponent of the evil dragon?

Now Li Gongfu still remembers that at that time, the monster in the lake was sweeping over by a big wave, and the three thousand imperial guards who showed their power on the shore of the lake were gone, and there was no one left... and the powerful people in his family could only go to fight each other in a hurry.

They had to do that!

Because the more that monster eats people, the more powerful it will become! And if the 3,000-strong imperial guards were eaten and digested by the other party, they would not even dare to imagine what terrible things would happen!

But in the end, they still lost...

The white girl Bai Jingjing was severely injured again, and the pig brother was beaten to the point where he even lost his weapons. He has not dared to go to the shore of the lake to recover it! Although the others were not seriously injured, they were more or less injured in different degrees. Now they can only huddle in the city together, preparing to set up a large formation, and fight to the death with the threatened monster?

So, now Li Gongfu really doesn’t know what to do, so he can only wait for the Pansi immortal at home to arrange and prepare for related matters!

Actually, if you want to escape, Li Gongfu and others who are wise and wise, you can definitely run away at any time! The spreading floods and the Qiantang River in the south will definitely not trap them, such as the monks! But... he could not let go of the nearly 20,000 fellow villagers left in the city no matter what, and could not bear to watch them sleep in the lonely city like this, and were poisoned by the monster!

It is precisely because of this that they have been sticking to the present, trying hard to restrain the order in the city, and they still want to guard the city so that they can wait until the people at home say: Will the heavenly soldiers and generals in the heavenly court appear and descend to the realm to surrender demons?

But……

Now so many days have passed, and there are no ten thousand people who have been eaten by monsters, but there are six, seven or eight thousand people. However, the exorcist gods in the Heavenly Court have not appeared for a long time. As if they have forgotten their Qiantang County, even if they set up altars to sacrifice, burn incense and pray for the statue, it is useless.

Anyway, until now, Li Gongfu doesn’t know who they can count on!

"Pengfu..."

"It's time to come back for dinner. The master will have some things to tell you to do later..."

Before Li Gongfu and several other constables continued to say something, his wife, Xu Jiaorong, who was also tired, quietly walked to the front door and hesitated to Li Gongfu, who was sitting dejectedly on the stairs of the threshold.

Xu Jiaorong actually knew that the current form of Qiantang is getting worse and worse day by day, and that terrible monster is something they have never seen or heard of!

Before, when almost everyone in their family went to besiege the monster, although she was not able to take action and just watched from a distance, she also knew that the big monster in West Lake seemed to be unable to resist by these women, the three frizzy monkeys, fat pigs, and river demons!

Every time the other party eats one person, he becomes a little more powerful! Every more than one day, his mana becomes stronger!

But what about them? As soon as they fought, they almost lost an important combat power. Therefore, the power balance between the enemy and us is actually very obvious when the other person is getting stronger and worse.

"I don't want to do it anymore!"

"Brothers, come in and have a meal! Have a good meal and drink, and when you have enough food, go and send some to the brothers guarding the four city gates!!"

There was really no way, they tried tricks such as asking Gods and worshiping Buddhas, but there was no movement at all! The gods and Buddhas and the thiefs in the sky were like blinded, and they let the big monster raged here, but they had no intention of intervening, which made him very angry!

So, now he couldn't think of anything, so he simply didn't think about it!

“…”

“…”

The constables didn't say much, nor did they be polite to their leader Li, and just followed Li Gongfu one after another and entered the Li Mansion without saying a word.

Now, after today and tomorrow, they really don’t need to be polite!
To be continued...
