Chapter 24 Go
"Who did the county magistrate invite to the meeting?" Yi Chen said with a frown.
"There are Lingfeng Temple, Huanzhen Temple, Miaoyue Temple and Yuelun Temple. In addition, the county magistrate has also posted a notice, seeking experts from all over the world to discuss and solve this matter at a high price." Captain Zhang replied.
"High price? How high?"
When he saw the keyword “get”, Yi Chen’s eyes lit up.
There was never enough money for him.
Qing Yunzi has now begun to practice "Taishang Lingfei Chunyang Root Dao Sutra", and the stage of refining essence into qi requires a lot of nourishment.
Relying solely on meat would not only affect his progress in cultivation, but the quality of his pure yang energy would also have more impurities than others, and would require more time to refine.
Because of the blood mark on his body and the old Taoist's jade token, Yi Chen did not have much time to waste. He urgently needed to go to Longhu Mountain.
First of all, be loyal to the person who trusts you.
Secondly, he wanted to take the opportunity to ask Longhu Mountain for some information about the underworld.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
Only by understanding what the hell the underworld is can he get rid of it, or even tear down the broken house.
As long as Qing Yunzi's pure Yang energy is completely transformed, his own cultivation realm is completely stabilized, and he has the ability to protect himself, he can set off with peace of mind.
It's just a matter of one or two months.
At this moment, Captain Zhang wanted to slap himself.
He was so careless that he forgot to mention the main point.
The master is not fully paid, and he is invincible when he is fully paid.
I still remember the last time I asked a master to help me, even the tea leaves were thick stems before I paid the money, and every sip of it made my throat feel sore.
After taking out the silver note, the master changed to Maojian... He understood.
He immediately spoke up and said the key point: "The county lord has offered a reward of three thousand taels of silver to resolve this matter."
"Each of the invited masters can receive two hundred taels of silver for travel expenses. You can take this amount, Master." Captain Zhang stretched out five fingers and shook them.
"Five thousand taels? Cash? Your Excellency is so generous. We will set off right away." Yi Chen's eyes became brighter.
Captain Zhang: “…”
"It's five hundred, five hundred taels. Master, please wake up..."
"Oh." The light in Yi Chen's eyes disappeared.
It seems that the county magistrate is not a sucker.
"Then Master, will you go or not in response to the county magistrate's invitation?" Captain Zhang couldn't help but ask.
Yi Chen thought about it and decided to take this trip.
The evil spirit that killed more than two hundred people overnight was certainly very powerful, but this time the magistrate of Fengyun County also gathered all the spiritual masters in the entire county. At worst, he could learn from a certain big boss, frowned, and retreated behind the crowd.
But he still has five source points left for mobile response, and he hasn't added them yet.
When faced with irresistible danger, he will add source points to his agility and he will be able to take off.
On the grassland, when a flock of sheep encounters a wolf and is chased everywhere, as long as you run faster than the slowest sheep, your chances of survival will be greatly increased.
There is no doubt that he runs very fast.
If the evil spirit was not as powerful as he imagined.
Uh…. What kind of chivalry is there to talk about with such an evil heretic? Everyone fights side by side, and he finds an opportunity to make up the last blow. Isn’t it a good arrangement? Moreover, he also wants to see the methods of his peers.
Yi Chen narrowed his eyes and thought of a possibility. If he looked into it carefully, he would indeed need to meet and communicate with the leading forces in Fengyun County to deepen everyone's understanding of him.
After all, he is not a good-natured person like his master Bai Yunzi.
"Disciple, lead the way." Yi Chen waved his hand and made a decision immediately.
Go, you must go this time.
He remembered that the balance of three hundred taels that the county magistrate promised to give him had not yet been paid. He was so focused on practicing Buddhism last month that he almost forgot about it.
Where are the promised banquet and thank-you gifts? …. ….More than half an hour later, Yi Chen was already standing in front of the east gate of Fengyun County.
On the city gate, a millstone-sized Bagua mirror was covered with cracks.
This mirror is called the Eight Trigrams Evil-Suppressing Treasure Mirror. It is a magical tool developed by practitioners from the Imperial Observatory. It has a restraining effect on general evil spirits. Generally, there will be several of them installed at the gates of cities of a certain size.
With this precious mirror, no evil spirits of the roaming or resentful level can ever enter the city gate.
As for the city walls, they were built by compacting them with cinnabar and other special positive substances. The evil spirits would shake their heads when they saw them.
Therefore, cities are naturally much safer than the wilderness.
The armored zombies that caused so much trouble in Qingyuan Town last time couldn't even get through the city gate of Fengyun County.
This is the reason why housing prices in Fengyun County are so high... the boss in the county is the real boss, and a single hair on his leg is thicker than the waist of the common people.
But now, the Eight Trigrams Evil-Suppressing Mirrors at the four city gates of Fengyun County were all cracked.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Completely ineffective.
This means that an evil spirit of at least Fierce Level or above has infiltrated the city. No wonder the county lord was in a hurry and summoned all the well-known spiritual forces in Fengyun County.
"Hiss, house prices are going to fall."
Yi Chen touched the Dragon-Slaying Sword on his back and strode into the city gate.
Now that you are here, make the most of it.
At worst he can just run away.
He was determined to get the final payment from last time and the five hundred taels of travel expenses this time! He was poor at home but rich on the road. He would have to go on a long journey in a while. If he didn't have enough money, would he beg for food along the way? Or would he perform on the road and break stones with his chest?
Life is not easy, a Taoist priest performing for money? Although he can do this job, he can't afford to lose this person.
Captain Zhang followed behind Yi Chen. When he saw the direction Yi Chen was walking, he hurriedly said, "Master, we are going the wrong way. The county government office is not in this direction."
"I know, but aren't you hungry?"
"A little bit, but the county lord and the others are already waiting."
"They won't die if they wait a while. If we go to inspect Wang Yuanwai's mansion now, no one will survive. Why go so early?"
Captain Zhang immediately felt that what Yi Chen said made a lot of sense and was simply impossible to refute.
"Then Master, let me treat you to beef noodles. I know a noodle shop that has delicious beef noodles. I'll treat you. Let's go quickly after we finish eating."
"???"
"You're inviting a Taoist priest like me to eat beef? Are you looking for trouble?" Yi Chen randomly found a noodle restaurant and sat down in it with a majestic look.
"Keep it simple. Let's start with eight bowls of mutton noodles."
“Add two more eggs to each bowl.”
"It's not good to eat too much in the morning."
Two cups of tea later, with Captain Zhang looking pained and the shop owner smiling as they saw them off, the two men walked out of the shop and headed towards the county government office.
By this time, the sun had already risen, but there were very few pedestrians on the streets of the city. Occasionally, one or two people were seen walking in a hurry. It seemed that the news of the extermination of Mr. Wang's family had spread.
Outside the county government office, a fat middle-aged man in a green official uniform was standing at the door looking around.
Inadvertently, Yi Chen's eyes met with the fat middle-aged man.
After eye contact, we knew that we were all the same kind of people.
