Chapter 28: I want the knife, but I don’t have the money. What should I do?
It was a moonlit night with no wind.
The entire Fengyun County was silent and quiet.
All citizens have been notified that there is a curfew tonight and no one is allowed to go out at night. Doors and windows must be closed. If any unusual movement is found, they are to shout loudly and make a noise and someone from the government will come to deal with it.
"Then let's do this."
Under the dim moonlight, Yi Chen and his three companions each held a yellow triangular talisman and left.
This triangular talisman was taken out by Master Lianhua. It was agreed that when encountering evil spirits, as long as the talisman is ignited with magic power, everyone will be able to sense the location and help each other.
Yi Chen, Master Lianhua, Master Shuiyue and Taoist Qingxu guard the four major urban areas in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest respectively.
After the four of them took their positions, they began to take action.
Naturally, Yi Chen relied on the perception of Yin energy brought by the third level of "Yin Yang Cave Divine Pupil Technique". He wandered on the long street, walking non-stop, sensing the breath of Yin energy.
Master Lianhua took out a small burner of incense ash and sprinkled some along the way while chanting Buddhist scriptures.
Nun Shuiyue held a white jade bottle in her hand, with a slightly green willow branch stuck in the mouth of the bottle. She looked around carefully, and at each intersection, she dipped the willow branch into the bottle and sprinkled some of the liquid in the bottle.
Taoist Qingxu was holding a small three-eared tripod and chanting an unknown scripture. After walking a few steps, he took out a wooden pestle and tapped the three-eared tripod lightly. He stopped and listened carefully. When there was no movement, he continued walking, repeating this process over and over again.
Chickens don't pee, each has its own way.
Everyone's methods are different.
Until midnight, nothing unusual happened, which made Yi Chen feel very complicated.
On the one hand, he hoped that the evil spirit would appear, he really wanted the Crimson Dot, but on the other hand, he was afraid that the evil spirit would be too strong after it appeared and they would not be able to defeat it... At this moment, his mentality was like that of a girl in her first love waiting for her lover, afraid that he would not come, and also afraid that he would do something wrong.
It’s late at night.
Very quiet.
But I wonder how many people will fall asleep tonight.
Yi Chen walked slowly on the long street of Dongcheng District. The moonlight made his shadow very long. He kept patrolling the surroundings with the Dragon Slaying Sword on his back.
With his sharp five senses, he could naturally perceive that many people in Fengyun County were not asleep at this time. Some brave people secretly opened the window and took a look outside. After seeing a tall Taoist priest as strong as a bear patrolling outside, they felt relieved and quietly closed the window.
Unconsciously, Yi Chen walked to the junction of East City and South City, and happened to meet Master Shuiyue walking towards him with a jade bottle in her hand.
At night, Master Shuiyue did not wear the gray black robe she wore during the day, but changed into a white plain robe.
Nun Shuiyue has fair skin, and her appearance looks even more beautiful under the moonlight, like a beautiful jade figure walking in the moonlight.
More importantly, without the obstruction and concealment of the loose black clothes, the key points are more prominent and the curves are excellent.
She has long legs and her figure sways as she walks.
After meeting, the two nodded slightly and then went their separate ways.
Walking to another long street, Yi Chen stopped, smacked his lips, sighed, and then continued his inspection.
Yi Chen had a strange feeling that Master Shuiyue did not look like a nun. Instead, she looked like a well-educated and trained lady from a noble family.
Some things are ingrained in one's bones and cannot be changed. The details and nobility revealed in her behavior and manner all demonstrate that Master Shuiyue's background may not be that simple.
To survive in this world, you need at least one of the strength and background.
Neither Yuelun Temple nor Miaoyue Temple are small and small, and they have branches in other prefectures and counties.
The same is true in Fengyun County.
On the contrary, Lingfeng Temple, Huanzhen Temple and Yinlong Temple have no connections with the above forces and can be considered as local forces rooted in the vicinity of Fengyun County.
As he was thinking, Yi Chen stopped and slapped his handsome face lightly.
"Damn it, at this critical moment when evil spirits can appear at any minute, what are you thinking about, Master Shuiyue."
“I really shouldn’t have done that.”
"The moonlight tonight is so big and white."
Yi Chen raised his head and glanced at the full moon above his head, then walked to a water vat placed by a family on the street, took a move, and a handsome face with a chiseled look appeared in the water vat.
He said it was not bad, which was a mediocre evaluation, and then he continued to patrol the streets with his head held high and his chest puffed out shamelessly.
The same space and time, South City District.
Nun Shuiyue looked at the empty street. The night wind blew on her delicate oval face. She suddenly felt a chill and fear in her heart.
She looked up at the full moon above her head, and suddenly Master Shuiyue thought of Yi Chen, the young Taoist who was as strong as a bear and had just met her. She chuckled again, and the fear that had just surged in her heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Yi Chen's sudden attack in the backyard of the county government office left a very deep impression on her.
The old Taoist priest Taohua really made her feel sick. His eyes kept looking at her sensitive parts, just like a toad falling on her feet. It didn't bite her but it was disgusting. She couldn't get angry yet, so Yi Chen let her vent her anger.
In fact, she had a good impression of Yi Chen. She was more or less clear about the situation in Yinlong Temple. There were only a few big cats and small cats in it, and it was all thanks to Yi Chengzi that they were the only ones holding up the temple. If he wasn't fierce and violent, how could he gain a foothold in Fengyun County?
Those who have weak points and no one to follow, and who are not a little bit prickly, will not be able to gain a foothold.
Not everyone has a strong background like her.
Her background allowed her to see a lot of bloodiness beneath the gentleness, so she was not disgusted by Yi Chen's behavior. Instead, she felt that he was quite responsible, very much like her brother before he became a monk. What's more, Yi Chen was not bad looking, a thousand times better than that disgusting Taohua Taoist.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
“It’s not an easy person.”
Nun Shuiyue sighed softly and exhaled a breath of foul air. She tightened her clothes and continued walking forward.
There are many graceful movements as the legs swing.
At this moment, what she didn't notice was that suddenly a dark cloud floated in, blocking the moonlight. The light instantly dimmed, and a faint mist began to rise on the street.
At the end of the long street, a white-haired old man pushing a small cart walked out of the mist.
The white-haired old man had a lewd smile on his face and had bad intentions.
"Selling a knife, selling a knife."
"Master, do you want to buy a knife? It's very cheap."
The two looked at each other.
Master Shuiyue felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her whole body froze.
She felt the air around her suddenly become as heavy as a block of iron, trapping her tightly.
A disgusting old face with chicken skin came up to her.
"Master, you are so beautiful. Do you want to buy a knife? It's not expensive."
Master Shuiyue felt bitter in her heart, she was careless. She moved her fingers slightly, and was about to activate some costly blood-inherited secret method to escape from the predicament.
Suddenly, a voice that sounded like heavenly music to her stopped her movements.
After all, if that secret method was used...
A tall figure squeezed in between her and the white-haired old man, and the boundless force made the white-haired old man stagger. The tall figure also blocked the old man's sight, instantly releasing her from the confinement.
She quickly took a few steps back.
The scene that happened before her eyes made her mouth drop open in shock.
Yi Chen placed one of his big hands, like a palm-leaf fan, on the white-haired old man's shoulder, and grabbed the hatchet on the cart with the other hand.
The sound was like thunder, rolling in.
"Old man, the nun won't buy your broken sword."
"I want to buy it."
"I want the knife, but I don't have the money. What do you think I should do?"
