"Don't be afraid everyone, we are here to help us get rid of the Rock Demon. We are the demon catcher." Zhang Nan frowned, if he had known earlier, he would not have flown over on his giant eagle.

The few of them repeated themselves for a long time before the county magistrate finally quietened down. Seeing that Zhang Nan and the others did not want to kill anyone else, the magistrate timidly came out. "Are you really demon catcher?"

"It's true." Zhu Liu patted his chest.

"We can be saved, we can be saved." magistrate rubbed his hands together in excitement.

"Put these people back first. We'll deal with the rest." Zhang Nan jumped down from the roof and said to the magistrate.

"Ah?" Let them go? What if you can't handle it? " magistrate frowned.

"Why, are you doubting our ability? Do you believe that I won't let this giant eagle catch you in the air and then throw you down again? " Zhu Liu said in a low voice as he moved in front of magistrate.

"Alright, alright. I'll do it, I'll do it." magistrate was so scared that his face turned pale, he nodded his head and ordered his men to put all the women back.

"Several demon catcher s, you, where did you all come from? "That Stone Demon is very powerful, it's not something that an ordinary person can deal with. When I tried to capture the soldiers, they were petrified into stone statues by his stone powder." When they left, the magistrate called for Zhang Nan and the others to sit.

"No need to care where we came from. Since we've met the Rock Demon, we will eliminate him. As for what is needed, as long as you give us 100 taels of silver each." Pu Feier squinted at magistrate.

"Ah, a hundred silver for each person?" magistrate frowned.

"If you give these women to the Stone Demon, each person would have to give them 600 taels of silver. This way, you would still have to earn 100 taels of silver." What, Master magistrate, you don't want to part with it? " Pu Feier asked.

"But how do I know that you are not liars? What if you guys can't handle the Rock Demon? " magistrate looked at Zhang Nan and the others suspiciously.

If you don't get rid of the Rock Demon, we won't take your money. But in the time we take care of the Demon, you will be entertaining us, is that alright, Master magistrate? "Su Yun said. Pu Feier asked.

"Eh, no problem, no problem. I'll get someone to prepare the wine and dishes for you." After the magistrate said this, he waved to a bailiff beside him, telling him to make the arrangements.

"Hey, hey, hey. Subduing demons and exterminating devils is our duty, how can you ask for money?" Song Yang moved closer to Pu Feier and asked softly.

"But demon catcher also needs to eat. Every time you guys only care about eating and drinking, have you guys ever experienced with money management like me? Do you need money to eat and drink every day? I need money. " Pu Feier raised his head and said confidently.

"You still lack money?" Song Yang suspiciously looked at Pu Feier's cloth bag. It was bulging, there were a lot of paper money inside.

"Public money is public money, private money is private money. Please don't confuse my money with private money, okay?" Pu Feier glanced at Song Yang, and then looked at Zhang Nan: "Brother Song, do you think we should accept this money or not?"

"Eh, I …"

"Fine, just show some hesitation and prove that you think you should accept it." Before Zhang Nan even finished speaking, Pu Feier interrupted him and looked at Fox Fairy again, "Sister Xian'er, do you think that if we don't eat and starve everyday, we will still have the strength to catch the Spirit Demon?"

"You don't have the strength to catch a demon if you don't eat." Fox Fairy said.

"Zhu Liu, you ate the most, do you think you should not take this money?" Pu Feier waited for Zhu Liu.

Zhu Liu opened his mouth wide, and in the end, lowered his head: "It's time, I'll keep it."

"What do you think, Brother Song? Four of us think we should take the money. Do you have anything else to say?" Pu Feier grinned and looked at Song Yang.

"Sigh, even though you say that, but wouldn't five hundred silver taels be too much? This is enough for us to eat and drink for more than three years. " Song Yang shook his head helplessly.

"Are you stupid? Collecting money is also accepting money from officials. Is the imperial government still short of five hundred liang? General Liang and I will exterminate the pirates together. After fighting so many demonic beast, it would not be too much for the imperial government to bestow it upon us as a high ranking official. Furthermore, since when did I mention asking for money to help the commoners get rid of the demons? " Pu Feier said.

Song Yang's face was full of awkwardness, I have to say, Pu Feier's words were not wrong, if he wanted to kill the demons, he had to eat too.

That was why he practically ate in the open, starving every single day. But ever since Pu Feier and the others joined him, he had never worried about the problem of eating. Now that he thought about what Pu Feier had said, he felt a little ashamed.

When they were eating, magistrate raised his glass and toasted, but Zhang Nan suppressed his own wine and looked at magistrate, "Master, to be honest, who exactly is this Rock Demon and what is your relationship with him?"

"I, I, sigh …" magistrate wanted to say something, but stopped and sighed: "Actually, he is my son."

"Ah?" "Your son, my lord, what kind of joke is this? Are you trying to make a stone by yourself?" Pu Feier laughed out loud.

"That's right, what kind of joke are you making? Are you joking?" Zhu Liu also laughed.

"I really wasn't joking around. That Rock Demon was indeed my son, Li Yang. It was only because half a year ago, he was rude, offended the deities, and received his revenge that he became a stone man." magistrate looked bitter, as though he was not joking.

"Tell me the specifics." Song Yang asked.

Half a year ago, Yang'er went out to play, and when he arrived at a temple, he went in to offer sacrifices to the gods." Half a year ago, Yang'er went out to play, and when he went in front of a temple to offer sacrifices to the gods, he saw the beauty of the gods offered up in the temple.

"One night, he actually killed his own mother, then ran out and stayed in the cave for the entire day. I went to look for him several times, but he only remembered me when he took human form, but his symptoms were unstable, and he could turn back into a stone demon at any time and start killing. This time, for some reason, he came to the county magistrate, and after a few days, when I saw that his symptoms were stable, I thought he had recovered, but didn't expect him to suddenly ask me to find him three hundred flower girls. After being rejected by me, he immediately became angry and turned into a stone statue. Then, the city became the scene you all saw. "

"Serves him right. A pervert actually dared to blaspheme against a statue. Not killing him was already a blessing." Pu Feier clapped his hands and applauded. magistrate was ashamed when he said this.

"It was my godson who failed. He grew up to have this kind of character, and in the end, harmed him as well as his mother." As the magistrate spoke, his tears fell like rain.
