The owner of the medicine shop continued slowly, "This place was arranged by several masters in the fusion stage, and the rules were set. The formation has a life gate and a death gate. The way of heaven leaves a glimmer of hope, so the rules set here must have a way out."
"But the fusion-stage masters were unwilling to let anyone leave, so they made up this specious rule."
"It is in the best interests of the people and also complies with the principle of leaving a silver lining for the world."
Lu Yang resisted the urge to curse and continued writing: How do we kill the mayor
The owner of the drugstore said, "He can't be killed. The mayor is immortal. How are you going to kill him?"
Meng Jingzhou clenched his fists and cursed the group of people in the fusion stage who set the rules in his heart.
It would be better not to set the 21st rule. What difference does it make if it is set or not? !
Lu Yang's face didn't look good either, but he was still calm. He knew that swearing wouldn't solve the problem, so he continued to write: Where is the mayor
The owner of the drugstore chuckled, "Do you really want to kill the mayor? Unfortunately, I don't know the mayor's location, but you can ask the officials. After all, they are the closest to the mayor. As for whether they tell me or not, I don't care."
Before leaving, the owner of the drugstore shouted again: "Since you really want to leave here, let me remind you that the mayor can know everything that happens in the town. This is his ability. You have to be careful."
Meng Jingzhou was just about to say thank you politely, but then he remembered that he couldn't talk to the pharmacy owner, so he could only nod to show that he understood.
Lu Yang remained indifferent from beginning to end.
"Do you think what the pharmacy owner said is true?" Meng Jingzhou asked quietly.
Lu Yang did not answer. When he was some distance away from the pharmacy, he sneered and said, "Due to the rules, he is telling the truth, but he is not necessarily on our side."
"Do you know what the biggest difference between him and the innkeeper is?"
"What?"
"The drugstore owner tried every way to get us to talk."
Meng Jingzhou was shocked and realized that when communicating with the innkeeper, both parties used words, but when communicating with the drugstore owner, they were the ones who wrote and the drugstore owner spoke from beginning to end.
When one party speaks, the other party will respond with sound without paying attention.
"Old bastard." Meng Jingzhou cursed in a low voice, and then felt something was wrong. "Since he wanted to harm us, why did he remind us that the mayor could know everything that happened in the town?"
Without even thinking, Lu Yang said, "He saw that we were trying to leave here and couldn't stop him, so he told us another important message, letting us know that the mayor is invincible."
"This is likely to lead to two results: either they give up and leave, or they lose their footing and collapse."
Meng Jingzhou sighed, feeling the situation was even more difficult: "The most troublesome thing now is that the mayor knows what happened to us. Even if we find a way to leave, the mayor can stop us!"
How can I escape secretly under the mayor's nose
Lu Yang pondered for a moment, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and he thought of a solution.
He took out a pen and paper and wrote on it: If we communicate with words, maybe we can reduce the mayor's attention to us.
Meng Jingzhou nodded.
Lu Yang continued to write: Do you still remember the jade pendants given to us by the sect? Each jade pendant is a symbol of status. Once a jade pendant is broken, the sect will take the initiative to send someone to check the situation. The jade pendant is too hard for us to crush it, but we can throw it to the exit, and the strong wind at the exit will shatter it.
Meng Jingzhou's eyes lit up, and after some calculation in his mind, he found that this was indeed a good idea.
Meng Jingzhou also wrote: So how should we deal with the mayor
Lu Yang wrote: To understand how the mayor operates, start with the yamen runners.
The two wrote and drew on paper, made a detailed plan, and then burned the paper and pretended nothing had happened.
As Lu Yang walked, he came to the vicinity of the private school. As usual, he heard the sound of reading. However, according to the Immortal Fairy, it was actually the barking of a dog, but under the effect of the rules, it became the sound of reading.
If someone can't suppress their curiosity and wants to enter the private school, the sound of reading will turn into the barking of dogs, and something bad will happen.
The private school teacher came to Lu Yang and continued to persuade Lu Yang to enter the private school, but Lu Yang lowered his head and turned a deaf ear to him.
The private school teacher spoke eloquently and non-stop: "My friend, we meet again. You came here alone, and it seems that you and your companions have had a quarrel. This shows that you still believe what I say in your heart. Don't believe what the rules say. You can't tell the difference between nine true and one false rules..."
Just as the private school teacher was about to surprise Lu Yang, he suddenly bent down and looked at Lu Yang who was lowering his head. Suddenly, his eyes went dark and he didn't know what happened.
The private school teacher focused all his attention on Lu Yang. Meng Jingzhou sneaked around to the back and put a sack on him.
The two men were ready to fight. They were scared to death by the private school teacher last time, so this time they were not afraid of his stare. They had to take revenge!
There are many emotional people in the Demon Cult who will take revenge, and this can be seen in Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.
"beat!"
The two men punched and kicked the private school teacher without mercy.
The private school teacher had never encountered such a thing before, and he kept wailing: "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me!"
Article 9: Those wearing grey robes are private school teachers. If you meet a private school teacher, you need to pretend you didn’t hear anything he says.
Both of them were kind-hearted people, and would not stop hitting the other party if he begged for mercy. Unfortunately, due to the rules, they had to pretend not to hear what the private school teacher said.
There was no choice but to continue fighting.
Finally, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved after the fight. Before leaving, Meng Jingzhou even spat, "Bah, scumbag, don't let me run into you again."
The two men returned to the inn arm in arm. The private school teacher broke free from the sack and looked at the two men's backs as they walked away with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Don't let me run into you again!"
At 9:00 p.m. on the fourth day, the two came to the restaurant downstairs, which was the only place in the town that served meat buns.
Article 11: All food in the town is free and you can take it yourself, but you cannot eat meat buns.
Considering that the meat buns were free and they had to take them away even if they couldn't eat them, the two of them packed up all the meat buns and took them away, using the sack that they had used to cover their private school teacher yesterday.
When the yamen runners in black arrived at the restaurant as usual, they found that there was not a single meat bun left.
"Who did this!" the bailiffs were angry.
According to the rules of Buyi Town Yamen, they can only eat meat buns every day. Now there are no meat buns, what will they eat? !
"Boss, look at those two people, are they carrying our meat buns?" A yamen runner had a keen sense of smell and smelled the scent.
When Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou saw the yamen runners looking at them, they knew their plan was exposed and ran away in a hurry.
What started out as suspicion has now become certainty: "It must be them, chase them!"
The people of Buyi Town found that the usually quiet town was particularly noisy today.
"Stop right there, you two bastards!"
Lu Yang responded as he ran: "No, Rule 12 says that if you encounter government officials, you must run away immediately. I am following the rules. Please don't make things difficult for us."
The chief of the yamen runners was furious: "Then there's no damn rule that says you can take the meat buns!"
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou moved so fast that the yamen runners couldn't catch up with them at all.
