Chapter 28 Slaughterhouse

After being isolated for half a month, I came to Baojiao County again.

Chen Ku looked at the inner and outer cities. They were still so lively. The people in the outer cities were almost the same as those in Sheyu Town.

I couldn't help but think:

"I actually crossed two levels at once, from village to town and from town to county..."

I know clearly in my heart.

The one-year clerk status of Yaowangtang only lasts for one year. If after one year, he cannot completely take root in Yaowangtang, he will probably have to go back to the village.

But, this is ordinary people.

Chen Ku didn't think that relying on the transformation map, he would go back to the countryside. If he was really that useless, he might as well find a corner of the city wall and hit him to death.

Arrive at the entrance to the inner city.

The customs collectors at the gate of the city were guarding the gates, checking and letting them go.

Chen Ku accidentally noticed the notice on the city wall.

I was shocked.

"This big smuggler hasn't been caught yet, and the reward is high."

I saw the portrait of one of the wanted posters posted on the city wall. It looked like the "Ni Kun" posted at the entrance of Yaochai City. However, compared to a month ago, the reward at that time was still one hundred taels.

A month passed.

The reward was actually as high as five hundred taels!

The huge reward of five hundred taels of silver is more than enough to buy a Sihe courtyard in Baojiao County.

And generally speaking.

The reward was raised only because during the arrest process, not only was he not caught, but...

"Killed officers and soldiers? Are they that strong?"

Chen Ku had heard that in the county, there were Yao Wang Tang, Chai Tie Shop, and the Fish and Dragon Society, a giant-level force, but it was the county government office that truly held absolute power.

Since there is a path to martial arts in this world, it goes without saying that the most capable and powerful people must be in the government.

Most of the police officers in the county have martial arts skills. Otherwise, how would they be able to suppress other forces in the county.

"I wonder what level of master Ni Kun is? Transforming energy? Or inner energy? What exactly is he smuggling?"

Chen Ku thought in his heart.

He has half a foot in the gray area, so he naturally feels wary of danger in times of peace.

Thinking, walking through the city wall.

The officer at the gate of the city saw Chen Ku's gown and the waistband of the Yaowangtang handyman that was displayed. He waved his hand and let Chen Ku in without paying the city fee.

"Why……"

With his sharp ears, Chen Ku seemed to hear a stunned young man, like Li Jiyang, speaking dissatisfiedly in the queue to enter the city, but his mouth was quickly covered.

He couldn't help but turn around and look around.

It was a middle-aged man and a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.

Chen Ku felt a little dazed when he saw this scene.

The middle-aged man was a little awe-struck and quickly pulled his son to give Chen Ku a nod.

Chen Ku said nothing, and then showed a smile, the same smile as that of the man in a long gown named Wang outside Yaochai City that day.

After all, his identity has changed and he has become an exception.

Stop thinking.

Go straight to Yaowangtang.

The huge lintel and the wide hall are still a place full of medicinal smell.

"Oh, it's the person who presented the treasure grass half a month ago. Yes, I still remember you. Come with me to the clerk's courtyard. You are assigned to room 16." When they arrived in the hall, Liangming His identity and credentials were recognized by Wu Gui last time.

Last time, he followed Wu Gui through the inner courtyard, but this time, Chen Ku found that the path he took was different again.

The backyard of Yaowangtang is extremely spacious and large, just like the kind of Shanxi mansion that Chen Ku once traveled through.

"Brother Wu Gui, how big is the courtyard of Yaowangtang?" Chen Ku asked curiously as he followed this familiar man.

Wu Gui seemed to have a good temper. In his previous life, he was an enthusiastic senior. He smiled bitterly at Chen and said, "Didn't I tell you last time? There are three big courtyards. If we talk about houses, if we add them up, there will be a total of Fifty-six rooms, and that’s without the warehouse.”

Fifty-six rooms.

"The place where guys like us live is in the Kitchen Courtyard at the back, where we usually have our meals. It's just past the Tujie Courtyard." Wu Gui said, leading Chen Ku into a large courtyard.

Um?

As soon as Chen Ku stepped into this large courtyard, he smelled the extremely strong smell of blood and stench. After crossing the large threshold entering the courtyard, he saw a total of seventeen or eight rooms in all directions in the courtyard, all open, and there were people wearing Yaowangtang gowns coming and going. The disciples were running and busy.

Either drying things or sifting things, and there are also people who make medicine, sweep the floor, and carry water, giving people a feeling of being busy and orderly.

The most important thing is that Chen Ku looked at the things hanging on the shelves in the seventy or eighty square yard. They were all deer antlers, animal bones, and a series of animal-related things.

"Everything in the world can be used as medicine." Wu Gui seemed to feel Chen Ku's mood and said with a smile: "Tu Jieyuan is responsible for animal medicine, such as deer antlers, bezoars, dog treasures, bear bile, leopard bones, etc., as well as demons Where’s the meat?”

"Demon meat?" Chen Ku caught a key word.

"Well, beasts that have developed demonic energy can be called demons. Only masters of internal energy can deal with them." Wu Gui explained patiently: "Just yesterday, the demon hunting team in the hall captured them. Where is a living demon-level bear... I heard that the master of the Tujieyuan, Shang Yunfang, must personally take action today to ensure that all the precious things on the demon-level bear that can be used as medicine are removed. Take down the ones that retain the greatest medicinal properties..."

Wu Gui was talking.

Roar! ! !

Suddenly, Chen Ku and Wu Gui heard a shocking roar, which broke through the house of the slaughterhouse and echoed throughout the yard.

Not long after, a specially made fine steel cage was pushed out by the guys of the slaughterhouse.

Chen Ku looked at it with a slight touch of emotion.

The bear was three meters tall, with steel hooks piercing its body, but the roar shook his eardrums, and he seemed to be able to feel a magical threatening aura sweeping across the yard, making his heart tremble and gasp.

[The owner of the picture is suppressed by the demon-level bear's demonic aura, which wants to harm the owner, and rushes to create evil. Killing it can obtain a demon-level evil aura]

Chen Ku's eyes lit up.

Demonic aura.

The special threatening aura just now was the demonic aura. It was obviously the demon locked in the cage and angry. The anger mixed with the demonic aura spread to the surroundings. It was not aimed at him, but it also triggered the perception of the transformation map.

But just when Chen Ku looked at the bear with fiery eyes.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort, accompanied by a figure, suddenly came out of the slaughterhouse, and immediately came to the bear's cage. With a wave of his hand, the cage opened.

Chen Ku saw the figure, wearing a long gown and long boots, with a slightly short figure, a square scarf on his head, and his face could not be seen, but he went forward to face the bear with a steel hook.

One hand, grabbing the bear's head with more than a few thousand pounds of strength, just like grabbing a little chicken, domineeringly and forcibly pulling the bear's head upside down.

In his other hand, a dagger as thin as a cicada's wing appeared. He slashed across his chest at an indiscernible speed, and then held a gourd there to catch it...

"This is Master Shang Yunfang from the Slaughterhouse. Although others can suppress this demon-level bear, only Master Shang's 'Black Tiger Slaughtering Knife' can be so skillful as to extract the gallbladder from a live bear without killing it." Wu Gui said respectfully, looking at the back.

Chen Ku asked softly, "Are many of the animal medicinal materials in the slaughterhouse freshly killed?"

Wu Gui nodded and said, "Of course, didn't you see the couplet at the entrance of our hall? 'Although the taste is expensive, we dare not reduce the material resources.' When eating, we must pay attention to fresh slaughter and freshness. Animals used as medicine are naturally the freshest. Many martial arts schools and guests have this requirement. This is also one of the signatures of our Medicine King Hall."

Chen Ku looked at the yard full of animal medicines, such as tiger bones, bear paws, etc., and thought to himself: "What a great place. It seems that my first goal in entering the Medicine King Hall has been achieved."

That is to enter the slaughterhouse!

This is simply a holy place for growth!
