Catching Monsters

Chapter 2: No worries about money

After adding these ingredients into the bathtub, the fragrance is overflowing.

Jiang Yun, who was soaking in the bathtub, smelled it and couldn't help swallowing.

So fragrant.

If these seasonings are used to stew a pot of meat, the taste will probably be pretty good.

After soaking for about half a quarter of an hour, Butler Huang bent over, put his nose close to Jiang Yun and sniffed.

Then, his wrinkled old face showed a smile: "Not bad, not bad, it tastes good, it tastes good!"

"Quick, quick, send the son-in-law to the bridal chamber."

Soon, a brand new red wedding dress was put on Jiang Yun.

Butler Huang and four sedan bearers led Jiang Yun towards a boudoir in the house.

Before even getting close to the boudoir, I could smell the strong scent of floral dew coming from the house.

This is a perfume made from flowers and herbs.

Jiang Yun was not unfamiliar with this smell, as the original owner usually went out to enjoy the company of other women with a group of scholars.

Those girls would have some floral spray on their bodies.

However, the smell of floral dew in this boudoir is a little too strong.

Butler Huang came to the door respectfully, gently pushed it open, and lowered his voice a little: "Miss, the son-in-law is here."

After saying this, he turned around and winked at the sedan bearers.

Jiang Yun was pushed into the boudoir, and the door was slammed shut.

The room was pitch black, with no sight of one's hand in front of one's face, and total silence.

In the darkness, it seemed as if there was a pair of eyes staring at me.

"Is anyone there?" Jiang Yun couldn't help but ask.

As soon as the words fell, several candles in the boudoir were lit instantly.

Inside, there are lights and decorations, just like a wedding room.

What was strange was that there was a bright red coffin placed in the center of the bridal chamber.

The bed curtains in the room were drawn aside by a delicate hand.

A woman with a graceful figure slowly walked out of the bed.

Looking at her figure, she is just like the model in her previous life, tall, plump and graceful.

But when he saw her face, Jiang Yun was stunned.

This face has been highly decayed and emits a foul odor. The fragrance in the house is probably meant to suppress this stench.

Countless maggots were crawling all over the rotten face.

Jiang Yun could even clearly see a maggot crawling from her eye socket to the other.

The woman said, "My humble self, Huang Juan'er, is honored to meet you, my lord."

Jiang Yun cursed inwardly.

Where is the beauty you promised me?

Give it to someone at least!

Although he cursed in his heart, he forced a smile on his face that was uglier than crying: "The girl is very unique, I am afraid I am not worthy of her..."

"My dear, do you look like you dislike me?" Huang Juaner asked.

Isn’t this asking knowingly?

"Since my dear, my dear, I care so much about my appearance." Upon hearing this, Huang Juan'er gently waved her hand across her face, and a puff of black smoke moved on her face.

Soon, the rotten and smelly face turned into the face of a beautiful girl: "Are you satisfied now, my dear?"

Seeing the other person suddenly turn into a beautiful girl, Jiang Yun couldn't help but secretly wonder if he could turn into Zhiling or Nazha, and if not, Reba would do.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun felt a little regretful. The evil spirits in front of him didn't know their appearance and might not be able to change.

Huang Juaner looked at Jiang Yun in a daze and smiled coldly.

She has seen too many scholars like this.

With just a little scare, these guys would be scared to death.

Those who are bolder will shout loudly: Monster, I have studied for many years and have been imbued with the aura of saints. Ordinary demons and evil spirits cannot get close to me.

Then he watched himself being eaten bit by bit, crying out in pain and shouting for mercy.

This process is the most interesting.

If you are a little timid, your eyes will roll back and you will faint from fright when it comes to this part.

It tastes quite bland and uninteresting.

Huang Juaner sniffed him greedily and said with emotion: "My dear, your flesh smells so good."

Jiang Yun said, "Are you going to eat me?"

"of course."

Jiang Yun: "How are you going to eat?"

"Of course, I will chew you bit by bit."

"You will see with your own eyes that your body will be eaten up bit by bit by me. You will not die in the process."

Huang Juaner really enjoyed other people's fear, helplessness and panic. The more they felt this way, the more appetite she had.

However, Jiang Yun did not show the fearful expression she expected. Instead, he said with a serious look of thinking, "Miss Huang, the way you eat is not right."

"It's just a bath, the meat won't taste good."

“It just has some aroma.”

Miss Huang looked at him strangely and asked, "How should we eat it?"

Jiang Yun thought for a moment and said, "If you want it to be tasty, it's best to marinate it, but if you want to keep the taste fresh, that's not going to work."

"Have you ever eaten sashimi? You definitely haven't."

"Cut the fresh meat into thin slices one by one, add the dipping sauce, and it melts in your mouth..."

Huang Juaner seemed to have been hungry for a long time. She swallowed her saliva and couldn't wait any longer: "When I eat another person, I will definitely try the method you said."

Huang Juaner's fingers wandered over Jiang Yun's body. Suddenly, her neck slowly lengthened and tightly wrapped around Jiang Yun.

Miss Huang put her head next to him, stuck out her tongue, licked his neck, and opened her mouth.

There was a mouthful of sharp fangs inside, biting towards Jiang Yun's artery.

At the critical moment.

Jiang Yun had already secretly used the finger he had bitten before to draw a palm thunder on his left hand.

"Heaven and earth are infinite, and the universe borrows the law!"

Huang Juan'er was stunned at this moment. The other party knew magic?
Is it specifically here to deal with me?
Then the palm hit Huang Juaner's forehead with a bang!
Huang Juaner didn't feel any pain.

Jiang Yun shook his left hand which was hurt by the slap and thought to himself, this body has never practiced any magic and can't exert any power at all.

In desperation, he bit the tip of his tongue and blood spurted out.

The tip of the human tongue is where yang energy gathers, and blood has rich yang energy.

Blood splattered on Huang Juaner's face. In an instant, a puff of green smoke rose from Huang Juaner's face. The pain also made Huang Juaner retreat continuously.

While Huang Juan'er was in pain and the binding force on him loosened, Jiang Yun quickly hid aside.

Huang Juaner also came back to her senses. She stared at Jiang Yun coldly and slowly approached.

Jiang Yun spat out a mouthful of blood, forcing Huang Juaner to take several steps back.

Huang Juaner said coldly: "I want to see how much blood you can spray."

"I could spend the whole night with you."

Time passes little by little...

When Huang Juaner came close, he spat out a mouthful of blood...

Jiang Yun was breathing heavily, feeling extremely helpless. If the stalemate continued like this, he would probably pass out from excessive blood loss.

At this time, my legs were already feeling a little weak.

Huang Juaner saw that he could hardly hold on any longer and walked towards him again.

Finished!

But at this moment.

Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air was heard.

An arrow shot into the house from outside and accurately pierced Huang Juaner's chest.

Huang Juaner looked down at the arrow in her chest in horror and shouted outside, "Who is it?"

The door of the wedding room was kicked open with a bang. In came a petite and beautiful girl wearing a black robe, holding a longbow and arrows.

After entering the house, he raised his hand and shot several arrows in succession.

There are no missed arrows.

Shot accurately into Huang Juaner's body.

Then, the girl gently stroked the arched back and jumped up.

Waving the longbow, a silver light appears.

Poof.

Miss Huang's head fell down and rolled slowly to Jiang Yun's feet like a ball.

Only then did Jiang Yun see that the back of the longbow was flashing with cold light and was extremely sharp.

After the girl killed the evil spirit, a look of relief appeared on her face.

"Girl, be careful!" Jiang Yun reminded hurriedly.

"It's already..." The girl looked at the evil spirit that she had beheaded.

Jiang Yun pointed at the blood-red coffin in the room and said in a deep voice: "Huang Juan'er is just a shell, the real body of the evil spirit is there!"

boom……

boom……

There were dull sounds coming from the bloody coffin.

Then, the blood-red coffin exploded with a loud bang.

There was only a woman's head inside, and it looked like the daughter of the Huang family.

The head opened its mouth and a stream of black smoke came out of its mouth.

Black smoke swept towards the girl.

The girl's face changed. She was very skilled in martial arts. She moved around and dodged continuously. She pulled out arrows and shot them, but she couldn't hurt the black smoke at all.

The arrow attacked the strange head, but before it got close, it was bounced away by a strange force.

There was more and more black smoke in the house, and Jiang Yun was forced to retreat continuously.

He looked at the girl in surprise. Why didn't she use any magic?
Judging from the way she dealt with the evil spirit just now, she shouldn't be completely clueless, right?
The black smoke is filled with a strong evil aura. If an ordinary person is contaminated by it, he would suffer from a serious illness at best, and die on the spot at worst.

Jiang Yun is no different from an ordinary person now, so of course he doesn't dare to touch him. He has already retreated to the corner and can no longer hide.

The girl was also forced to stay not far from him.

Jiang Yun came to her side eagerly and pulled her hand without saying anything.

"What are you doing?" the girl was startled.

“It’s very worrying.”

Jiang Yun was really anxious. This evil spirit was not that powerful. If he died at its hands, how could he face the Three Pure Ones?

Jiang Yun bit his finger and drew a talisman on her palm: "Repeat after me, the sky and the earth are boundless, the universe borrows the law, and then slap it away."

"What are you doing?" The girl was stunned, watching the evil spirit in the room getting closer and closer. She lowered her head to glance at the talisman on her palm, and could only grit her teeth and recite with doubt: "The sky and the earth are boundless, the universe borrows the magic!"

After the girl finished reciting, she closed her eyes and blasted out with her palm.

boom!
A terrifying bolt of lightning burst out from her hand.

Lightning and thunder flashed.

All the cold and evil spirits in the house were dispersed and disappeared by the power of thunder and lightning.

The head was directly hit by lightning and made a strange cry.

The powerful force caused the girl's body to tremble slightly.

"Is this Taoism? How do you know Taoism?" The girl looked at Jiang Yun in shock.

Jiang Yun was stunned and asked, "Do I look like a monk?"

"Damn it." The head glared at Jiang Yun fiercely, then smashed the window in fear and ran away.

"Don't run!" The girl came to her senses and saw that the evil spirit was trying to escape, so she chased it out through the broken window.

Seeing the evil spirit run away, Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a dozen constables dressed in yamen uniforms rushed in from outside.

The leader was a bearded man in his thirties. His face became solemn when he saw the evil corpse on the ground.

"Boss, what should we do with this guy?" Someone raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Yun.

"Tied."

Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment, then shouted: "Hey, sir, I'm a good person, I was deceived."

……

"Sir, we are just the cooks who carry the sedan chair. We know nothing. We were deceived into coming here."

"I have a 60-year-old mother at home who needs to be taken care of."

"Please forgive us, sir."

In a quiet courtyard, there was Butler Huang, four sedan bearers, and Jiang Yun.

There were six people in total, tied up and lying in a corner of the yard.

Butler Huang and four other people kept begging for mercy and claimed that they were innocent.

The leading constable, with his hand on the sword at his waist, stared at the few people with a sharp look, but said nothing.

Soon, the other detectives searched the Huang family yard and returned to this yard.

The girl who had killed Miss Huang before seemed to have left.

The captain turned his head to look at his men and asked, "Did you gain anything?"

One of them reported: "Boss, we found nothing."

Then he muttered, "Damn it, such a big house, but not a penny, it's really weird."

When the head of the police heard this, he immediately kicked him in the buttocks and cursed, "Did I ask you to search for money?"

Then, his eyes fell on the few people tied to the ground: "My name is Qian Buchou, and I am the head of the police station in Nanzhou Prefecture."

"According to the laws of our Zhou Dynasty, those who collude with evil people and practice evil skills will be executed on the spot once confirmed after questioning."

"Of course, if you can prove your innocence, I don't want to kill anyone."

Several cooks quickly spoke up, pointing at Steward Huang next to them: "Sir, we live in Liuye Village, not far from here. Steward Huang asked us to come and carry the sedan chair..."

Four slashes of the knife.

The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out.

The four cooks opened their eyes wide and lay on the ground unwillingly.

"Liuye Village was destroyed by a fire 20 years ago."

Then, Qian Buchou's eyes fell on Butler Huang.

Just as Butler Huang was about to speak, Qian Buchou stabbed him in the chest with a knife.

Butler Huang widened his eyes unwillingly: "You, you haven't even asked me yet."

As he spoke, blood flowed from his mouth.

"You are the housekeeper here, can you be a good person?"

Butler Huang's body lay on the ground twitching, and soon he stopped breathing.

Behind him, a constable kindly reminded: "Boss, this doesn't seem to be in accordance with the procedure."

When Qian Buchou heard this, he slapped his forehead and said, "Right, right, I forgot about this."

Then he asked the body on the ground: "Are you colluding with evil people?"

Half an hour passed.

"He didn't say anything, so it seems he agreed. He is indeed a thief."

Finally, Qian Buchou's gaze fell on Jiang Yun, his hand tightly clenched on the blood-stained hilt of the knife.

Obviously, if Jiang Yun could not give him a satisfactory answer.

Jiang Yun couldn't escape death either.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath and said, "Sir, my name is Jiang Yun, and I live in Jiayun Street in the city..."

Qian Buchou's face showed impatience, and the hand holding the knife showed signs of being about to take action.

"Sir, I just helped that girl catch a monster! She can prove that I am a good person."

Qian Buchou thought this guy was talking nonsense: "A Jinyiwei expert from the capital needs your help in catching monsters?"
