The fastest mountain road passes through Fuyu County.
Perhaps it is because of the existence of Wuzhuang Chanhe Temple and its secret influence.
The customs and culture of Fu Yu County are very different from those of Wangfeng County and Luoshui County.
All travel is carried out by wooden oxen and horse-drawn carriages.
All kinds of crops in the fields at the foot of the mountain are irrigated by water wheels. From time to time, you can see warriors wearing special armor, with giant, wide straight swords extending from the back of their heads, like a pair of folded wings.
Li Qinglin was stunned by what he saw, and even had the illusion that he had mistakenly entered another realm.
Yu Niang put on a loose coat and followed Li Qinglin closely.
The rain continued to fall, and the water even reached the ankles.
After passing through the city gate, Li Qinglin suddenly felt that there seemed to be many more pairs of eyes in the dark, all silently staring at him.
Some warriors guarding the corners and city gates even secretly glanced over with the corner of their eyes.
Li Qinglin's heart moved, but he went straight into the city.
Perhaps because of the continuous heavy rain, the whole Fu Yu County was filled with a strong sacrificial atmosphere. Every household in the streets and alleys held incense burners and waited at the door, as if welcoming the arrival of immortals.
When Li Qinglin walked out of the alley, he happened to see a wooden platform occupying most of the width of the street in front of the county government office in the center of the city.
There are wheels under the wooden platform, and on both sides there are dozens of warriors with naked upper bodies and red belts pushing the wooden platform forward.
On the platform were various animals and livestock as offerings and sacrifices.
People at both ends of the street knelt down, holding incense burners in their hands, and shouted in unison,
"Goddess above, please bless Fu Yu County to be peaceful and smooth, so that we can get through the disaster years safely!"
"Goddess above, please bless Fu Yu County to be peaceful and smooth, so that we can get through the disaster years safely!"
Li Qinglin reacted immediately upon seeing this.
"Rain drive?"
At this time, many county residents suddenly emerged from the alleys on both sides, armed with hoes and sharp bamboos.
There were also warriors riding fast horses, holding weapons, staring with big copper bell eyes, circling around Li Qinglin.
The magistrate of Fuyu County seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He suddenly emerged from a corner and yelled at Li Qinglin, "You evil bastard, you despicable foreigner! Do you think that we won't recognize you just because you have changed your identity?"
"Come on, capture him for me!"
Li Qinglin frowned and was about to take action.
Then the sound of galloping horses came from across the street, "Stop it, magistrate! You've got the wrong person!"
Li Qinglin looked up and saw the group of demon hunters he met in the temple last night.
I don't know how many good horses they died in running, but they were only slightly behind Li Qinglin.
Although it was also because Li Qinglin was leisurely and not in a hurry.
The county magistrate knew this group of demon hunters. He took two steps forward, held the saddle, and said in surprise,
"My fellow heroes, do you know this man?"
A demon hunter dismounted from his horse, half-knelt in front of Li Qinglin, and bowed, "Greetings, benefactor."
He then stood up and told the county magistrate everything that had happened last night.
As he spoke, he glanced at Yu Niang behind Li Qinglin and took a step back calmly.
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate sighed and apologized to Li Qinglin with a guilty look on his face.
"Please forgive me, my good man. I am from Fuyu County. I have been in a state of panic recently because of a demon. When I saw a stranger, I thought he was a disguised person."
However, due to the continuous heavy rain in Fu Yu County, there was even a risk of flooding.
The county magistrate then invited many talented people to come and drive away the rain.
Among them, there is a strange man named Yunhua Taoist, who claims to be a disciple of the Foundation Establishment Master, and has the supernatural power of the Five Dragons Hibernation Method and reporting to the heavens. He can perform sacrifices to drive away rain disasters!
Not surprisingly, this guy was a swindler who cheated people out of money and ran away overnight.
The key is this guy. It would be fine if he just took advantage of you once.
Since the matter was urgent, the county magistrate did not bother with him.
He changed his appearance many times and assumed many identities.
As a result, everyone in the county, including the magistrate of Fuyu County, was frightened when they saw the strange face of the stranger! The magistrate called a squad leader and carefully instructed, "Quick, go and clean up the three-story courtyard in the north of the city. Don't neglect this hero. Tell the kitchen to serve good wine and food, and the money will be deducted from my salary this month."
Listening to the county magistrate's instructions, Li Qinglin suddenly frowned, with a stern look in his eyes.
"Who is it?"
Li Qinglin shouted loudly and shook his clothes suddenly, revealing an ancient jade pendant hanging around his waist, with a fish and a dragon in it's tail.
There was a faint flash of light, and a special halo appeared, which surprised everyone.
"This is a jade pendant passed down from my family. It will give me a warning when I encounter something ominous."
Li Qinglin looked fiercely at the group of people behind him.
"There must be some bad guys among them. Let me interrogate them one by one!"

The words fell.
A cry of surprise came from the crowd, "How could there be such a treasure that can detect my 'Fetal Turtle Qi Controlling Technique'?"
Li Qinglin was stunned when he heard this. "How could someone really escape my eyes and ears? I was just lying."
"ah?!"
A villager in linen clothes and cloth shoes rushed out from where he was, ready to escape.
Hearing this, a mouthful of blood almost spurted out.
"Ahhhh!! You actually lied to me, a Taoist priest. I am so angry!"
Then, in response, a hand covered his entire field of vision, pressed down on his head,
"Humph! I just want to know if they have found you!"
…
A moment later, Taoist Yunhua was tied to the ground with a bruised face and nose.
The magistrate of Fu Yu County was suddenly awakened and kicked Taoist Yun Hua hard. Then he sent people to arrest him and put him in jail.
"Wait a minute."
When Li Qinglin's voice was heard, the yamen runners immediately let go of their hands and retreated to the sides.
Taoist Yunhua stared at Li Qinglin with an unwilling look on his face. When he saw him coming, he sneered and turned away.
"What you just said is the fetal turtle qi control method?"
I don’t know if it was Li Qinglin’s illusion, but the characteristics of the martial arts techniques performed by Taoist Yunhua just now seemed somewhat familiar.
The surface of his body was covered with ripple-like air patterns, which were extremely advanced and blocked all his breath.
Even Li Qinglin was almost deceived.
"So what? Why, you want to learn? Haha..."
Taoist Yunhua had the temperament of a tough guy. Even though he was imprisoned, he was not afraid of Li Qinglin at all.
"Do you know Wen Shoufei?"
Li Qinglin suddenly asked.
Taoist Yunhua's pupils suddenly shrank, his face tensed up suddenly, and then relaxed in an instant.
Then he forced a smile,
"No, I haven't heard of it."
Seeing this, Li Qinglin patted his shoulder, stood up, and turned to the magistrate of Fuyu County and said, "Sir, can you hand this man over to me for disposal? I am willing to repay the silver he defrauded."
Upon hearing this, the magistrate of Fu Yu County thought for a moment, his eyes inadvertently met the eyes of those monster hunters, and then he slowly nodded.
"Just follow the good man's advice."
