Two Worlds: I Became an Immortal

Chapter 288 Inquiry
At this time, Lin Yuan and others looked at the county magistrate with gritted teeth, not knowing what the other party would ask next.

But after a while, Shopkeeper Wang and others on the side calmed down a little.

They thought about it carefully and felt that they didn't need to worry so much.

After all, they joined the other team's team later. Even if something happened before, it should not have much to do with them.

If that's the case, then why should they worry so much?
Thinking of this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Yuanyu saw this expression and felt helpless.

As for the matter concerning the snake demon, that is naturally his caravan's business. As for the other matters, it really has nothing to do with other people.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuanyu became a little worried.

If there were more people, perhaps they could share the burden, but now he is the only one involved in this matter. As for his servants, they are ultimately his responsibility.

If there were more people, it would naturally be more difficult for the county magistrate in front of him to handle the matter, after all, the law does not hold everyone responsible.

But looking at the current situation, it seems that he has to do it himself.

"Let him have a look."

Just when Lin Yuanyu was feeling nervous, he saw the county magistrate waving his hand, and then someone sent something to Lin Yuanyu.

The bailiff brought over a plate, which was covered with a red cloth.

Lin Yuanyu was stunned when he saw this, wondering what the county magistrate in front of him wanted him to see.

Just as he looked up at the county magistrate in confusion, the county magistrate waved his hand and said, "Open it and take a look."

Hearing the county magistrate say this, Lin Yuanyu took a deep breath, knowing that he had no choice but to look.

Thinking of this, he lifted the red cloth in front of him without hesitation.

As he lifted the red cloth, he exclaimed the next moment, and then subconsciously took a step back.

The other people nearby subconsciously averted their eyes at this moment. To them, if they could avoid looking at what was happening here, it would be better not to look at it.

Just hearing Lin Yuan's exclamation made them stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't suppress their curiosity and turned their heads to look over one by one.

When they saw clearly what was inside, they were all stunned.

At this time, a group of people were staring at the thing in front of them, with a look of fear on their faces.

"Are the rumors among the people in this county true?"

At this moment, everyone looked at the things on the plate, and then they all looked surprised and confused.

What they could see on the plate at this time was a piece of scale. Judging from the appearance of the scale, it seemed to be a snake scale?

The reason I thought this way was because I heard the people in the county talk about someone picking up the snake scales before.

Therefore, when they saw these scales, the first thing they thought of was snake scales.

Otherwise, given the size and shape of the scales in front of them, it would be very difficult for them to guess what kind of scales they were.

“Is this a snake scale?”

At this moment, everyone around was staring at the scales in front of them, and then started asking questions.

They had never seen a snake monster before and didn't know how big it was. But after looking at the snake scales, they had a rough idea of ​​its appearance.

It seemed that at this moment, they could already see that the snake demon was in front of them.

When everyone thought of this, they stared at the scales in front of them.

The county magistrate had no intention of answering the questions from the people in front of him. Instead, he stared at Lin Yuan and asked.

"I heard that you saw the snake demon before. Can you tell if this scale belongs to the snake demon?"

The county magistrate's words made Lin Yuanyu stunned for a moment. After looking at the scales carefully, he recalled the snake monster he had seen and nodded after a while.

"Yes, they are exactly the same as the scales on the snake demon's body."

Lin Yuanyu didn't know why the county magistrate asked this, but according to his recollection, the scales on the snake demon's body were indeed almost the same as this one.

Therefore, he nodded at this time.

The county magistrate became nervous when he heard this, "Are you sure it was from the snake demon?"

Lin Yuanyu didn't understand why the county magistrate was so nervous and asked this question. After a slight hesitation, he said, "Unless there is another snake demon outside that is exactly the same as the one I saw, otherwise, it can only belong to that snake demon."

Lin Yuanyu also knew that the county magistrate in front of him was certain that he had seen the snake demon, so he did not continue to deny that he had seen the snake demon, but directly admitted it at this moment.

When the county magistrate heard this, his expression suddenly became uncertain.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded, "If that's the case, then they should be the same snake. After all, no one has ever seen two snake monsters."

The county magistrate muttered to himself for a moment, and his expression relaxed a little.

"Mr. County Magistrate, what are you doing?"

Lin Yuanyu looked at the county magistrate and felt confused. After thinking for a while, he asked a question.

He wanted to find out why the county magistrate kept asking questions like that, and whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

After hearing this, the county magistrate in front of him raised his head and looked at the people in front of him, and actually smiled.

"Come to think of it, I haven't thanked you all enough for helping me drive away that snake demon."

The county magistrate also knew that the snake demon had not been eliminated but driven away.

But knowing that you were driven away was enough.

After hearing this, everyone relaxed a little.

From the meaning of his words, it seemed that the county magistrate in front of them had no intention of making things difficult for them.

"From what the county magistrate said, it seems that he has confirmed that the snake demon really exists. However, I have seen the snake demon with my own eyes. Did the county magistrate see the snake scales before he was sure that there is a snake demon?"

Lin Yuanyu cupped his hands and asked with a slightly puzzled look.

Hearing this, the county magistrate in front of him was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, he sighed and said, "Well, it doesn't matter if I tell you about this."

When everyone heard this, they immediately realized that there were other hidden secrets here. They all looked straight at the county magistrate in front of them, and were very curious about what he was going to say next.

The county magistrate did not pause for long, and soon spoke, "When the snake scale was delivered to me, I did not know for a moment whether it was a snake demon. Although this scale is large, I cannot be sure that it belongs to a snake demon."

"I originally wanted to find someone to investigate carefully, but I didn't expect that I would have a dream that night. In the dream, there was a ghost who claimed to be the city god. He said that the scales belonged to the snake demon, and that the snake demon had gained a lot of Taoism skills."

"The City God also said that he couldn't deal with the snake demon with his own ability, and it would be best to ask some experts to deal with it. Otherwise, the people here would have trouble escaping the snake demon's poisonous mouth in the future."

Lin Yuan and the others were stunned when they heard this, and then everyone showed an expression of disbelief on their faces. "So, there really is a City God? I think that gentleman knows."

"That gentleman?"

When the county magistrate heard this, his expression changed slightly.

He had heard about this matter before. It was said that the reason why the snake demon escaped was because there was a master among the other side's people.

If that were the case, then everything would make sense.

Thinking of this in his mind, he couldn't help but look up, with a strange look in his eyes.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but ask, "I heard that the reason why the snake demon fled was because of the master you called Mr. Song. I wonder where that master is now?"

"The county magistrate must have heard that Mr. Song has left before he even entered the county."

Hearing the other party asking this question, Lin Yuanyu in front of him said helplessly.

Hearing this, the county magistrate also frowned.

Of course he had heard about this, but he was still a little unwilling to give up. It would be a good thing if he could make friends with one or two masters like this.

"That master really left?"

The county magistrate was a little unwilling to give up and could not help asking another question.

Hearing this, Lin Yuanyu was a little helpless. "Reporting to the Lord, of course I left. Otherwise, if something like this happened, merchants like us would wish that the other party could stay with us forever, so as not to encounter those things again in the future."

Lin Yuan's words at this moment made the county magistrate in front of him stunned for a moment, and then he nodded.

To be honest, this is true.

After all, the other party had just seen the snake demon, so he was naturally still a little frightened.

But if this is the case, it seems that it will be very difficult to see that master in the future.

But now that the snake demon has been driven away, there is no need to worry too much.

Thinking of this, the county magistrate put away some of his disappointment.

"By the way, you just said that the expert knew that there was a city god here?"

The county magistrate thought about it and asked again.

Hearing this, everyone on the side looked at Lin Yuanyu. It seemed that the other party had said this before.

Lin Yuanyu pondered for a moment, then said, "Mr. Song didn't say that, but he did say that if you are worried, it would be helpful to go to the City God Temple to worship."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

If you look at it this way, it is equivalent to Mr. Song knowing that there is a City God here.

But they had never heard of things like these.

Thinking of this, their faces immediately became filled with amazement.

Sure enough, a master like this knows more than them.

"If it looks like this, then that gentleman is probably right. But to be honest, it seems that the City God here is unable to deal with the snake demon."

The county magistrate on the side thought about it and said with some doubt in his heart.

Judging from the other party's expression, it seems that he has encountered something and is going to see the City God.

But the city god of this place had told him before that he could not deal with the snake demon.

If that's the case, then that expert must have overestimated the City God of this place, right?
However, he did not dare to say such words out loud. After all, it would be bad if the city god heard it.

No matter what, the City God is still here. If I say this, it might easily anger him.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath.

As for such words, the people on the side did not say a word, because they had already thought about the interests involved.

No matter what, they will go to worship the City God later. Now that they say the City God is not good, how dare they go to worship him? Isn't this asking for trouble?
When they thought about this, they already knew that there were some things they shouldn't say.

"Mr. County Magistrate, if there is nothing else, then we will take our leave."

Seeing that the county magistrate in front of him seemed to have finished asking questions, someone spoke up and prepared to leave.

The county magistrate saw that he had finished asking questions and had no intention of making things difficult for them, so he nodded when he heard it.

"If that's the case, then there won't be many left."

After confirming that the snake demon had escaped, the county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief.

If the snake demon was still there, he would be somewhat worried, fearing that the snake demon would become powerful and turn around to use this place as a granary.

If that time really comes, he will have nowhere to escape. But he is the local official here, and he cannot leave even if he knows the news about the snake monster.

Fortunately, the problem has finally been solved.

Thinking of this, the county magistrate felt much more relaxed.

And a moment later, Lin Yuan and a few others came to the City God Temple together.

Taking the incense in his hand, he knelt down respectfully in front of the City God, praying for a safe journey.

But at this moment, they did not notice that a figure had quietly gathered next to the stone statue in front of them.

"There is indeed the scent of a snake demon on his body, but it is very faint. It looks like he has indeed seen the snake demon."

Right now the county is discussing all sorts of things regarding the snake demon, so in this case, how could the local city god not know about it?

At this moment, he saw Lin Yuan and others coming, so he observed them carefully.

After confirming that there was demonic aura on them, they also confirmed that they had really seen the snake demon.

After confirming this, he was almost certain that the rumor was true.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to escape safely after seeing the snake demon?

"Did you go on the daily tour?"

After thinking about it, the City God still felt a little uneasy, so he asked another question.

"Well, we already know the location, let's have the day patrol go to the village and take a look."

Knowing that the snake demon had been in the robbers' village before, and knowing the location of the village, we could send the Japanese patrol there to find out whether the snake demon was still there.

As long as the snake demon is not there, it can be confirmed that it has escaped and this place will be safe.
