Because the strange man had his back to Zhang San, he could not see the other person's attire. On the contrary, Gu Xuanyan, who was sitting opposite Zhang San, was completely relieved the moment she saw the man's attire.
In the state of a transparent world, Zhang San does have an all-round vision, but everything he sees is in black and white, with no color displayed, so it is difficult to judge the value of the other person's clothes.
Furthermore, Zhang San in this life was only a carpenter, and the farthest place he had been to was Taiping County. During his time there, the only things he had heard about, apart from the enlightenment and popular science books launched by the Dajin Dynasty, were the novels told by storytellers in teahouses.
Expecting to find any clues there is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
On the other hand, Gu Xuanyan was the heir of a thousand-year-old family. Even though she had fallen on hard times, her knowledge was far beyond Zhang San's reach. She recognized the visitor's identity at a glance.
Judging from her heartbeat which was gradually calming down, the person who came should be a friend rather than an enemy, and judging from his previous words, he seemed to want to win over Zhang San.
It's a pity that Zhang San has long been tired of fame, wealth and power. Apart from a little interest in pursuing martial arts, he has long been indifferent to other things...
“Sizzle!”
As if curious about the power of the Thunder Blade, the man put his hand on Zhang San's shoulder and swung the Thunder Blade once.
The man's attainments in swordsmanship were quite good. Just as Zhang San had said before, for masters who had entered the realm of perfection, they would not waste even a bit of their innate Qi on special effects.
When Zhang San was almost unaware, a knife light spread out from under his feet, and in a flash it had spanned hundreds of meters. The dead trees and stones in the middle were all torn into powder by the knife energy.
Not to mention Zhang San, even if the tiger demon was reborn, it probably wouldn't be able to withstand this move.
Asshole, is he protesting? Do you think I will agree to this? "Huo, good knife, to be honest, I think you are quite suitable for that position, what do you think?"
"Your Excellency is really good at judging people!"
…
After Zhang San agreed to the strange man's request, this battle between man and demon came to an end. I believe that with this adult in charge, everyone can sleep well tonight.
At this time, most of the land temple had been demolished, but fortunately there was a guest room next to it. It was originally a place where foreign Taoist priests stayed, but now it became a place for the two to rest.
Although he was very curious about their conversation, Zhao Zhen still knew his own limitations. After lighting the bonfire, he consciously left and left the guest room to the two big guys present.
With the light of the campfire, Zhang San had a general understanding of the visitor. He was wearing official uniform and a mask. Even if he opened the transparent world to the limit, Zhang San could hardly see the other person's face.
It is obvious that the mask with the Big Dipper painted on it is a magical weapon. In addition to its necessary symbolic meaning, it also has the function of isolating and preventing detection.
As for the official uniform, Zhang San had never seen it before, whether in style or material. He heard from Gu Xuanyan that it was made of brocade, brocade gauze, and brocade silk, and could only be worn with the emperor's grace. It was a second-grade uniform bestowed by the Jin Dynasty, second only to the dragon robe.
However, Zhang San was quite familiar with the embroidery on the official uniform, "flying fish and pythons, also with two horns."
Although Zhang San had never seen the real thing, he had heard of the Feiyufu of the Jinyiwei in his previous life. He even watched a lot of film and television adaptations of it, so he had some impression of it.
What puzzled him was why this Ming Dynasty gifted clothing style appeared in the Great Jin Dynasty? Could it be that the designer of this Feiyu clothing was also a time traveler? "Ahem~ Ahem~"
Seeing Zhang San's slightly distracted expression, the man first coughed to draw his attention back, and then began to speak.
"Although you are joining Jingye Division voluntarily, I still have to explain some rules to you. As a special department of Dajin, you don't have to pay attention to the other rules. There is just one thing you need to remember, that is, 'Don't say what you shouldn't say, don't do what you shouldn't do'. Do you understand?"
Do you understand? Zhang San understood it very well. Isn't this old rogue just afraid that he will bite back? Is it necessary to remind him again?
After today, besides the system, it seems that there will be one more person that Zhang San will draw circles and curse!
Of course, thinking is one thing, but saying it is another. As an old man who follows his heart, Zhang San knows that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
"I understand!"
The other party seemed very satisfied with Zhang San's attitude. He nodded and continued.
"You are a smart person. I believe you can do this. Due to the mission, I have a limited time to stay here, and I can only tell you a limited amount of things. I will only allow you to ask three questions. Think about it before you speak!"
From the moment this guy appeared, Zhang San knew that he was a weird young man with a head full of evil tastes, no, a weird uncle.
Therefore, Zhang San didn't even believe his words a bit. What was that because of the mission, he couldn't stay for too long? Why didn't you cherish your time when you were pretending to be cool just now?
However, having said that, after all, this person will be Zhang San's nominal boss in the future, so it is better for them to save some face for each other.
After thinking for a while, Zhang San asked, "Since you are looking for me, I should at least know what I am going to do. Let me tell you in advance. I will not do anything that violates the laws of Dajin."
"Well, not bad. At least you have some sense of responsibility. You have the merit of killing this tiger monster. With my recommendation, you will be a canonized alien of the Great Jin Dynasty in the future. You are indeed affiliated with the Jingye Division in terms of organization, but your office is in Taiping County. Your specific responsibility is to be responsible for clearing out the local ghost troubles. If you encounter problems that you cannot handle, remember to ask for help in advance!"
Zhang San could not help but nodded, as this coincided with his guess. This man was indeed a member of a special department of the imperial court, and his position should not be low. After all, an appointed foreigner could manage a county. As a direct leader, he should at least be able to manage a prefecture.
"The second question is, why did you send me to Taiping County?"
Although Zhang San couldn't see the other person's face due to the mask, he could intuitively feel that the man was obviously a little depressed when he heard this question. He didn't know what had happened to make such a weirdo become silent.
"As a smart person, I thought you would ask about the specific benefits, such as the role of merit, monthly salary, housing allowance, etc."
"Well, you can consider asking this as the next question!"
After calming down, the man slowly said, "As your superior, I will not hide this from you. The reason why I arranged you to Taiping County is actually due to a personal request. I would like to ask you to help find someone!"
