Chapter 105: The Bull Demon hasn’t eaten bait for a long time, he exorcises the evil and kills the ghost sculpture Zhong Kui!

Li Che held down his uncle who had stood up and asked him to continue drinking.

The uncle staggered, but did not refuse. He sat back in his chair and continued drinking with Lao Chen.

Li Che walked to the gate of the yard, his face was slightly cold and his brows were furrowed.

Crunch.

The door opened, and two figures in police uniforms came into view.

The uniform is black and red in color, embroidered with red cloud patterns. It is made of a special material, straight and regular, with a golden word "Zhen" embroidered on the chest.

The robes of the officials from the Temple Guarding Office!

Li Che's eyes narrowed as he recognized the two visitors. They were the divine messengers from the Temple Guarding Office. After all, their robes were too conspicuous and everyone in Jinguangfu City knew them.

"Are you Li Che?"

After opening the door, the two temple guards looked at him.

Two powerful divine pressures lingered there, creating a sense of majesty without even being angry, and people would tremble in their hearts when looked at directly.

This is obviously a divine secret technique unique to the temple guardian.

Despite the pressure from the two, it was useless to Li Che, like a breeze.

But Li Che still took a deep breath, his expression changed, and he clasped his fists: "Greetings, two officers."

The Temple Guarding Division, as the military agency of the Dajing court, can actually be understood as the Six Gates. Although they are mainly responsible for the affairs of the Weird Temple, they will also interfere in anything related to divinity.

When the divine messenger from the Temple Guarding Office came to his house, Li Che's eyes froze involuntarily.

Is it so fast?

That shouldn't be the case. When he killed Qin Yuqing... he didn't leave any evidence, and Qin Yuqing's gray-faced spy even proved his alibi.

It couldn't have been exposed so quickly.

The leading divine messenger narrowed his eyes, raised a divine messenger token of the Temple Guardian Bureau, looked at Li Che with indifferent eyes: "Come with us, the divine messenger has something to ask you."

"Always worse?" Li Che's heart sank slightly.

In the Imperial Observatory, he is roughly equivalent to a junior supervisor.

Why would such a being want to ask him something for no reason?

Did he suspect that Qin Yuqing's death was related to him?

Li Che frowned, glanced at the yard, and then came to the dark alley with the two gods.

He took out two gold leaves and handed them to the messenger.

"Which officer wants to interrogate me?"

However, the two divine messengers smiled and said, "Bribing the officials of the temple is a serious crime. If we accept your bribe, we will be whipped if we are found out."

Li Che understood immediately after hearing this.

Need to pay more.

Then he took out ten gold leaves and handed them out.

This time, the envoy did not refuse and took it away directly. It turned out that the money was not in place.

"You don't need to worry too much. General Zhang Lianhao just asked us to take you there. I want to ask you some questions. Qin Yuqing, do you know? The third daughter of the Qin family died tragically at home."

"We investigated this case and found out that before the third young lady of the Qin family died, she secretly captured many cultivators who came to Feilei City."

"Therefore, all the cultivators from Feilei City will be taken away for questioning. As for whether they will call for you later, I don't know."

In front of Li Che, the two divine messengers divided the twelve gold leaves skillfully and said to Li Che with a smile.

The main reason was that Li Che was very knowledgeable and his attitude made them very satisfied.

They were already in a bad mood after making this trip so late at night, but now they collected some gold leaves and made some money by walking a few steps, which was not bad.

“Although you have the ability to exchange blood, I think it has nothing to do with the death of the third young lady of the Qin family. The third young lady of the Qin family is said to be a master of true qi and a cultivator with a perfect divine foundation…”

The messenger laughed.

Li Che felt relieved when he heard this.

"Oh, the yard is quite lively. Are you having a family dinner? Do you want to tell your family? Otherwise, everyone at the party will be in a panic and it won't be a good dinner." The divine messenger glanced at Li Che.

Li Che clasped his fists and said, "I just passed the third-class guest official assessment of the Imperial Observatory today."

"When my family heard the good news, they insisted on setting up a table. I refused at first, but they said it was a big happy event after all, so they just wanted to celebrate, so they set up a table."

"You two officers are here so late at night, why don't you have a drink together before leaving?"

As soon as Li Che finished speaking, the expressions of the two gods changed slightly, and the divinity that permeated the air paused.

"A third-class guest official of the Imperial Observatory?"

The two looked at each other subconsciously, with surprise in their eyes.

Then, they tacitly took out the gold leaves that had just been divided from their pockets, collected twelve pieces, and handed them back to Li Che.

"So you are my colleagues from the Imperial Observatory... You and I are both under the imperial court. Although we are hired as guest officials, we are also public officials. We are not guilty of ignorance. Please don't take it to heart, Mr. Li."

Li Che waved his hand and pushed the gold leaf back.

If you want to gain a foothold in a city, you naturally have to be well-versed in the human relationships and worldly wisdom.

"How can I take this back? After all, I've troubled you two to make this trip in the middle of the night. Just consider it as labor compensation." Li Che said with a smile, and then invited the two gods from the temple to come in and have a drink.

The two of them also gave him face and stopped being aggressive.

After drinking, Li Che and Zhang Ya said something briefly and left together.

…

…

Jinguan Mansion, the temple-guarding office.

As the largest military organization in Jinguan City, it is filled with powerful people and countless monks. After all, the Temple Guarding Office must be vigilant against the outbreak of the strange temple at all times.

If the divinity of the temple god emanating from the strange temple outside the city infects and creates evil spirits, the temple protection department will need to send people to clear out and suppress them.

Although the Dajing court has delegated a lot of power to the aristocratic families in various cities, the deterrent power of the Temple Guarding Office is still terrifying.

The government office of the Zhenmiaosi is different from the treasure tower of the Qintianjian.

The gate has three openings, each with two dark door leaves. On the left and right sides of the gate, there are huge stone carvings of Chilongs, which are lifelike and contain majestic divinity. When they glare at you, it can make people's hearts sway.

There are many pavilions inside with flying eaves and pointed corners, but there is no towering building like the Imperial Observatory's Treasure Tower with eight floors. Most of them are two or three-story pavilions, full of majesty and coldness.

"Master Li, please."

The two divine messengers softened their attitudes and spoke to Li Che.

Once you enter the Temple Guarding Division, the strong divinity is almost impossible to dissolve, and naturally forms a sense of oppression. If a warrior who has not cultivated divinity comes here, he may not even be able to circulate his qi and blood.

Li Che showed an unpleasant expression and slowly followed the two divine messengers.

After a while, they arrived in front of a two-story pavilion.

"The chief will wait for you inside."

After opening the door, Li Che thanked the two gods and stepped into the pavilion.

The chief inspector of the Temple Guarding Office is equivalent to the junior inspector of the Imperial Observatory in terms of status, but the power he holds is much greater. After all, a chief inspector is in charge of ten god-chief inspectors at the level of god-base, and under each god-chief inspector there are dozens of god-chief inspectors.

There are even powerful chief messengers who have as many as a hundred divine messengers under their command.

How could the young supervisor of the Imperial Observatory, who was alone and helpless, compare with him?

Of course, both are independent departments with different functions, so they cannot be compared in this way.

As soon as Li Che stepped into the pavilion, the messenger silently closed the door.

The rich aroma of tea diffused faintly. Li Che looked up and saw a sandalwood desk. Next to the desk was a small tea table. The hot stove was boiling, and the green tea leaves were rolling up and down in the boiling water.

A figure wearing a red official robe with tiger patterns embroidered on it sat upright on a chair, making tea.

The divinity, so rich that it almost turned into substance, permeated the air, making it hard to breathe.

The dim candlelight flickered all around, illuminating the interior of the pavilion quite brightly.

"My name is Li Che, nice to meet you, Mr. Chief."

Li Che clasped his fists.

The middle-aged man raised his head, revealing a hideous scar on his face.

He held the teacup and took a sip of tea before he raised his eyelids slightly and his gaze fell on Li Che.

Boom! Instantly, the divinity in the entire pavilion seemed to be swallowed by the vortex under the control of the terrifying divine consciousness, and piled up above Li Che's head.

"Bull Demon?"

These two cold, emotionless words came out of the mouth of Chief Inspector Zhang Lianhao.

Under the pressure of divinity, Li Che began to show off his acting skills. His face was extremely pale and his legs were shaking uncontrollably.

"What are you talking about...but the vicious Bull Demon from Feilei City?"

"I... I came from Feilei City, but I have a family with me. How could I be that vicious and evil person?"

Li Che gritted his teeth, breathing heavily as if he was bearing the divine pressure with great difficulty.

There was silence in the entire building, with only the gurgling sound of boiling water in the furnace.

Zhang Lianhao looked at Li Che quietly for a long time, then said calmly, "Some people say you are the Bull Demon."

Li Che took a deep breath, his eyes bloodshot: "You are slandering me."

"That Bull Demon killed the old man of the Yang family in Feilei City. He was a divine base cultivator. Saying that I am a Bull Demon doesn't mean that I can kill a divine base cultivator?"

"My Lord, do you think I can kill Shen Ji?"

The powerful spiritual sense swept across Li Che's body, scanning him repeatedly.

However, Li Che's blood was restrained by the Sleeping Dragon Elephant of [Dragon Elephant King Kong], and his divinity was restrained by the Tao Fruit of [Pure Heart], so it was impossible to detect it.

After the spiritual sense scan yielded no results, it was finally completely eliminated, the oppressive divinity also dissipated, and the air in the entire pavilion seemed to become fresher.

"Indeed, a warrior who changes his blood, and a man whose character is as pure as a stream... You can't kill Shen Ji."

Zhang Lianhao withdrew his spiritual sense and stopped intimidating and forcing a confession.

"Congratulations, you have become a third-class guest official of the Imperial Observatory."

Li Che was sweating profusely. He clasped his fists but said nothing.

"General, I have just arrived at Jinguang Mansion. I don't know who is slandering me and trying to frame me like this?"

Zhang Lianhao poured a cup of tea and pushed it to Li Che: "Drink tea, don't be angry, this is the process of the Zhenmiao Division in handling cases, first deterrence, then judgment."

"As for you being Niu Mo's man, you might know him. His name is Zhang Xiangyang, the former divine detective of Feilei City."

"He joined the Lingying Sect and is now being held in the prison of the Zhenmiao Prison. He confessed that you are the Bull Demon and that the death of Qin Yuqing of the Qin family was caused by the Bull Demon. He wants to make amends for his crime."

Zhang Xiangyang?!

Li Che's eyes narrowed. Zhang Xiangyang, who had escaped at the beginning, actually appeared in the provincial capital and was arrested and thrown into jail.

That is the safest place in the city.

He couldn't help but reflect on himself. His methods were not ruthless enough. He should have found an opportunity to get rid of Zhang Xiangyang earlier, and there wouldn't be such an episode today.

"It turns out to be Detective Zhang..." Li Che let out a breath.

"The words of the evildoers of the Lingying Sect cannot be trusted!" Li Che gritted his teeth, "The Lingying Sect committed all kinds of murders in Feilei City. The city lord Cao Guang also joined the Lingying Sect and sacrificed thousands of spiritual children... They are totally inhumane!"

Zhang Lianhao's eyes were indifferent, as if he was used to it, and he nodded: "It's very inhumane."

"Of course I didn't believe it, but I still asked you to ask. Xu Beihu, do you know? People from Feilei City were tortured and killed by Qin Yuqing. She also targeted the An family who moved to the capital city. Just when she was about to kill them, she died."

Zhang Lianhao took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes and exhaled the hot air.

"Okay, you can go down. Be careful. The Lingying Sect's Lingying Dharma Master has escaped. I heard that your daughter...seems to have taken over the Lingying wood carving? Once the ceremony is completed, there will be a connection. The Lingying Dharma Master may come to covet your daughter, the top-grade Lingtong."

Upon hearing this, Li Che's expression changed drastically, his eyes were bloodshot.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Spirit Infant Master? The Spirit Infant Cult... is so vicious that my whole family has moved into the capital, yet they still won't let us go?!"

"Of course, there will be no problem with the security of the city. I am just afraid that he will sneak out in the middle of the night and attack your family."

Zhang Lianhao glanced at Li Che, who looked shocked, angry, and a little afraid.

"I have asked all the questions that need to be asked. You can go back now..."

Li Che's body trembled slightly with anger. After thinking for a while, he wanted to seek Zhang Lianhao's protection.

Zhang Lianhao smiled, without even looking at him, and waved his hand.

Li Che had no choice but to leave the pavilion.

Walk out of the Zhenmiaosi government office.

Li Che's expression of shock and anger instantly returned to calm.

There was a second person in the pavilion just now, and he was full of murderous intentions towards him.

The chessboard of heaven and earth was always shrouded, and Li Che could clearly sense the man's aura, which was as dark as if it was about to drip water...

"Are you from the Qin family?"

That aura seemed familiar. This man's aura had appeared when he shot and killed the gray-faced spy in front of the Qin residence.

As for the chief constable Zhang Lianhao, he had no intention of killing him. He must have been doing something on someone's behalf, but his words were meaningful.

His brows furrowed slightly.

"Zhang Xiangyang...Master Lingying..."

"Does the chief want to go fishing?"

"Fishing? It's been a long time since Niu Mo has eaten bait..."

…

…

Inside the pavilion.

Zhang Lianhao poured another cup of tea, and after a moment, a figure walked out from the shadows.

It was Qin Haonan from the Qin family, Qin Yuqing’s brother.

"Why? Do you think he would have killed your sister?"

"He is just a blood-exchanging warrior, whose divinity is only as weak as a stream... Do you think he can kill him?"

Zhang Lianhao asked.

Qin Haonan stroked his beard and said, "It seems not. But Zhang Xiangyang who came from Feilei City said that Li Che was closely related to Niu Mo..."

"It's a pity that this boy entered the Imperial Observatory... and became a third-class guest official. Otherwise, I would have killed him directly without any further ado." Qin Haonan said with regret: "If he were the Bull Demon, he would not surrender and would show his trump card to resist..."

Qin Haonan spoke directly, without any embarrassment in talking about the crime in front of Zhang Lianhao.

"It seems that he was recommended by Li Qingshan. If you really kill him, aren't you afraid that Li Qingshan will smash your head with that ram-horn hammer when he returns?"

"Haha, Li Qingshan only values ​​this man's daughter, a top-grade spiritual child. The recommendation should be a favor..."

"This Li Che is just a blood-changing warrior. If he dies, he dies."

"How could Li Qingshan offend my Qin family for him?"

"However, according to what Zhang Xiangyang said, this Bull Demon... even if it is not Li Che, it must be related to Li Che's family. Li Che's daughter, Li Nuanxi, is even closer to the Bull Demon. Zhang Xiangyang saw it with his own eyes. The two of them might be... master and disciple?"

Qin Haonan looked at Zhang Lianhao.

"Think about it yourself. He is a top-grade spiritual child who was pre-selected by a branch of the Qianyuan Divine Sect..."

"Then we will not offend Li Qingshan, but directly offend Qianyuan Divine Sect."

Zhang Lianhao said lightly while drinking tea.

"see a visitor out."

Qin Haonan frowned, glanced at Zhang Lianhao, turned around and left without saying anything.

After leaving the Zhenmiaosi government office, I stood on the long street in the dark.

"The Divine Sect is indeed not easy to mess with..."

After thinking about it, Qin Haonan walked towards the direction of the Golden Lie Gate.

…

…

When Li Che returned home, everyone was still awake.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Li Che return safely.

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay..." Uncle Li Liang was almost sober. After all, Li Che was taken away by the Temple Suppression Bureau. Who doesn't know the reputation of the Temple Suppression Bureau?

Old Chen smoked his pipe, frowning, "Because of the Feilei City incident? Oh, that damn Cao Guang..."

Li Che calmed them down for a while, and everyone left.

After Zhang Ya coaxed Xixi to sleep, she held Li Che's waist and said, "Husband, are you really okay?"

She knew Li Che's true identity, so she was very worried.

After all, there are far more powerful people in Fucheng than in Qilei City, so naturally the sense of security drops sharply.

Li Che rubbed Zhang Ya's head and said, "It's okay. Didn't I return safely? Besides, I am now a third-class guest official of the Imperial Observatory. Even if the Temple Guardian Bureau doesn't have evidence, they won't dare to touch me easily."

Zhang Ya pressed her cheek against Li Che's sturdy chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and felt a little at peace.

She hummed softly.

"You are the head of the family, nothing can happen to you... We want to watch Xixi grow up together."

"Don't worry. In two months, the entrance examination for the branch of the Divine Sect will begin. Xixi is now basically a confirmed disciple of the Divine Sect. No one dares to touch her. Once she joins the sect, even fewer people will dare to touch her."

"Okay, don't worry, everything is up to you."

"Let me check whether you have practiced martial arts well today and whether you have mastered the muscle-opening moves I taught you. Let me see if I can teach you new ones."

"Ah? There are new postures?"

In the soft voice of Zhang Ya, the couple began to practice the muscle-opening exercise.

…

…

The next day.

Li Che went out refreshed and went to the Imperial Observatory to work. He changed into the robe of a guest official of the Imperial Observatory, and still wore the black stretch shirt underneath.

The duty was simple, just drinking tea and chatting with Shangguan Qinghong in the tea room.

"Do you want to accept the wood carving mission that pays for divine crystals?"

Shangguan Qinghong was squatting on a chair with her crystal-clear jade feet bare, cracking melon seeds.

Hearing Li Che's question, he took out the task book and started flipping through it.

"There is one. An inner disciple of the Heart Ape Temple who cultivates the godhood of anger needs a statue of the Tenth City Level [Angry Eyes to Suppress Ghosts] type. There is no temple god to refer to, so the woodcarver can give it his free rein. However, after the finished product is completed, it is necessary to see whether the other party is satisfied before deciding whether to deliver it."

Shangguan Qinghong said.

"What if you are not satisfied?" Li Che frowned.

"The other party can refuse. This is the mission agreement. If you can't accept it, don't take the mission." Shangguan Qinghong said as a matter of course.

Li Che nodded: "How much is the reward?"

"Two Ten Capital Divine Crystals."

"Only two?"

Shangguan Qinghong glanced at Li Che strangely: "The market situation is like this. Besides, you don't think two Ten Capital Divine Crystals are too little, do you? Your monthly salary is only three..."

Li Che smiled awkwardly. His salary for this month... had already been spent.

Li Che, who lives moonlighting, naturally hopes that the price will be as high as possible.

"Answer it?" Shangguan Qinghong cracked a melon seed, blinked her big eyes, and asked.

"Yes!"

"The temple god has no reference, so I can express myself freely?" Li Che narrowed his eyes.

"That's right." Shangguan Qinghong nodded.

Li Che seemed to be lost in thought. This was the first job he had ever taken, and it was the first step in making his name.

If you want to earn more divine crystals in the future, gather enough divine crystals as soon as possible and push the maturity of the [Pure Heart] Dao Fruit to level 3...

The reputation of this order is extremely important! If the reputation is good, then the jobs with high Divine Crystal will come one after another! "The difference between the Divine Woodcarvings of the Tenth City level is naturally not the Divine content contained... Then we can only work hard on the connotation."

Li Che's eyes lit up slightly, thinking of his previous speculation. According to the outline of the statue in his memory, there is an additional improvement in the immortal work...

Now I can give this job a try.

"To scare away ghosts with angry eyes... to scare away ghosts with angry eyes..."

"That should be it..."

"A leopard head with round eyes, an iron face and curly beard!"

“The Great General Who Exorcises Evil and Slays Ghosts, the Iron-faced Divine Lord of Zhongnan, the Heavenly Lord Who Sweeps Out the Demonic Aura…”

"Zhong Kui!"
