Chapter 40: This is how we kill demons at Hidden Dragon Temple

The next day, the morning light was dim.

Yi Chen was still sleeping when he was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

"Master, open the door, something big has happened again."

Yi Chen: “…” This unlucky disciple, can you please use a different word?

"I'm coming, I'm coming, stop knocking, the chickens haven't even woken up, what are you making such a fuss about? Is the county magistrate possessed by a female ghost or is he about to have a stroke?" Yi Chen put on his clothes, cursed, and walked over to open the door.

Who doesn’t feel a little grumpy when waking up?

As soon as the door opened.

The first thing that caught my eye was the big face of Captain Zhang, and standing behind Captain Zhang was... the county magistrate.

County Master Zhou’s face was as black as a pot lid.

Behind Zhou Xianzun, there was a group of people standing.

Master Shuiyue, Master Lianhua, Taoist Master Qingxu and a middle-aged man with a square face, who was wearing a Feiyu suit with the words "Zhen'an" embroidered on his chest.

Hiss, there are too many people.

I didn't expect the county magistrate to be there too.

Even though Yi Chen's face was as thick as a city wall, he couldn't help but blush at this moment.

It's really like seeing a ghost. Why is the county magistrate here?

Fortunately, he had excellent psychological quality and adjusted himself quickly.

When facing embarrassment, as long as you are not embarrassed, then others will be embarrassed.

Yi Chen's adjustment speed was just right. After he recited "May you be blessed with infinite happiness" to the crowd, he led everyone to the living room in the backyard with a righteous look on his face.

"Fresh breeze, bright moon."

"Hurry up and make some good tea for the adults, and bring some plates of chestnuts."

"The chestnuts are very plump this year. You must try them." Yi Chen warmly invited everyone to take a seat. The chestnuts on the mountain were particularly plump because of the dozen handsome guys from the Evil Tiger Gang, but the junior brothers didn't want to eat them, so they were just right to serve the guests.

Qingfeng Mingyue was awakened by a knock on the door. He came out to check what was going on and was discovered by the sharp-eyed Yi Chen, who conscripted him into the army.

Soon the two kids brought over the tea and chestnuts and went back to their room to continue sleeping.

After taking a sip of tea, the county magistrate immediately told the whole story.

"So something is happening at Lanxiu Pavilion now?"

"Yes, evil spirits are rampant now. I went to take a look at Lanxiu Pavilion, and it was filled with ghostly aura. I am alone and powerless, but my fellow Taoists in Fengyun County all praise Taoist Master Yichengzi for his great Taoist skills. I am Lin Zhengyi, a centurion of the Zhen'an Division of Ping'an County, and I have come here to invite you to help me."

The person who answered was a middle-aged man in a flying fish suit.

“This…” Yi Chen glanced at Master Lianhua and the others with a hesitant look.

"Master, rest assured. As long as you are willing to lend me a helping hand, our Zhen'an Division will be willing to give you a low-quality dragon horse as a reward after the mission is accomplished."

"If you don't need it, you can convert it into 100 merit points, which can be exchanged for elixirs, magic tools and other treasures from my Zhen'an Division."

“Hiss, rest assured, Captain. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a dragon horse or not, or whether it’s a treasure or not. I just cannot coexist with evil spirits.” Yi Chen said righteously.

"Add another 1,000 taels of silver."

"Junior brother, bring me my Dragon Slaying Sword, I can set off now."

Yi Chen now understood why even an old veteran like Taoist Qingxu was lured here. He did not expect that the Zhen'an Division would be so generous this time and be willing to give away an inferior dragon horse.

He knew about this inferior dragon horse. It was a hybrid dragon horse with a hint of dragon bloodline that was selected and bred by the Beast Control Institute of the Imperial Observatory. Not only did it have amazing endurance, it could also travel a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles a night.

This inferior dragon horse was strictly controlled by the imperial court. Ordinary people simply could not breed such a good breed. Therefore, if one met a suitable buyer on the black market, it was not unheard of to sell it for ten thousand taels of silver.

Even if you don’t need it yourself, you can get a discount on it.

This is a BMW with strong financial attributes.

As for the contribution points of the Zhen'an Division, they are even more hard currency.

The Zhen'an Division is a violent organization of the Dai Viet Dynasty that dominates the world. It is filled with experts and countless good things. The treasures are not purchased with gold or silver, but with contribution points released by the Zhen'an Division.

Assisting the Zhen'an Division in handling cases is one of the channels to obtain contribution points.

Judging from the appearance of Master Lianhua and his companions, they were obviously moved by the price offered by Captain Lin, which is why they came here together.

Anyway, they have already offended the person behind the scenes, so they might as well offend him to the end and cooperate with the captain of the Zhen'an Division to wipe out the root of the problem.

These people are all strong-minded. Once they make a decision, they will not hesitate. Now they are numerous and powerful, and their courage is greatly increased.

Yi Chen believed even more that if only one person in their group could survive, then that person would definitely be him...

If he won, he would gain fame and get rice, and if he lost, he would just make his teammates suffer, and he himself would most likely be able to escape. If he didn't go to investigate the evil spirit in Lanxiu Tower, would he still be a human being?

Besides, he would feel unwilling if he didn't take a look at the white and deep red spots.

Looking at the stern and solemn look of this Captain of the Zhen'an Division, he is obviously also a master, and the advantage is with me.

Done.

"Fellow Daoists, go for it!" After weighing the pros and cons, Yi Chen silently encouraged his teammates in his heart.

Soon the group set off towards Lanxiu Tower.

All of them were people with cultivation, and they hurried on their way. In about half an hour, they arrived at the gate of Lanxiu Tower.

As soon as they arrived at the door, Yi Chen and the other three couldn't help but take a deep breath, making their own insignificant contribution to the warming of the climate in the other world.

They finally understood why this highly skilled captain of the Zhen'an Division, upon seeing the unusual situation at Lanxiu Tower, his first reaction was to ask the county magistrate for help.

No wonder the price is so high, it makes sense.

At this time, Lanxiu Tower had turned into a world of fog. Even when Yi Chen looked at it with the Yin-Yang Cave Divine Pupil Technique, he only felt that the yin energy was astonishing and the visibility was less than three meters. This was when his eyesight had been deliberately strengthened.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

If I hadn't practiced special spiritual techniques, I would probably be even worse than him.

The two large white lanterns hanging outside the door of Lanxiu Building were tirelessly emitting white mist, making the surrounding environment even more gloomy and cold.

The building was filled with an eerie atmosphere, and strange figures could be vaguely seen floating through the white fog.

Master Lianhua walked in front with a frown on his face.

"Everyone, where should we start?"

"Look at this astonishing fluctuation of Yin energy. The evil spirit in Lanxiu Tower must be quite powerful."

"We have to think long-term."

Master Lianhua turned around and glanced at the crowd.

Nun Shuiyue nodded in agreement.

Taoist Master Qingxu deeply agrees with this.

Lin Zhengyi, a captain in the Zhen'an Division, frowned, as if thinking about how to respond.

Taoist Master Yichengzi... Hey, where is Taoist Master Yichengzi? Suddenly, a loud bang was heard.

The vermilion door of Lanxiu Tower was smashed directly by a long green brick that Yi Chen picked up from the street. The door panel broke into pieces in an instant. The long green brick continued to move forward after smashing the vermilion door, and flew towards the depths of the fog with the powerful kinetic energy.

Yi Chen walked over from the side and brushed the dust off his hands.

"I was just laying down long blue bricks on the side and didn't notice. Master Lianhua, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Master Lianhua glanced at the broken door, then glanced at Yi Chen's sincere expression, and was silent for a while: "I was in trouble before, but now I am fine."

"Oh, that's good." Yi Chen drew out the Dragon-Slaying Sword and chopped at the lantern outside the door that was emitting white mist.

Under the effects of the Dragon-Slaying Sword and the deep purple pure yang energy, the white lantern suddenly exploded into a burst of fire, fell to the ground and turned into black ash, and disappeared when blown by the wind.

Seeing this scene, Master Shuiyue fell silent.

Master Lianhua was in a daze.

Taoist Qingxu just shook his head.

This is unreasonable and totally against the procedure.

Bai Yunzi is a famous master. Didn't he teach Taoist Master Yi Chengzi some basic procedures for dealing with evil spirits? What about testing? Why did you just go for it?

Captain Lin couldn't help it, and asked Yi Chen at the door: "I mean... Taoist Master Yi Chengzi... have you always been like this... slaying demons and exorcising monsters?"

Captain Lin carefully considered his words.

"ah"

"Any questions?"

"That's how we at Hidden Dragon Temple slay demons and monsters."

Yi Chen raised the Dragon Slaying Sword, twisted his neck and asked back.

Silence….. “No problem, let’s go in.”

I would like to thank all the fellow Taoists who voted, left messages and gave rewards today. It's too late today, so I will thank them all tomorrow. Thank you all. I will definitely update three times tomorrow. If I don't, I will chop my friends off with the Dragon Slaying Sword.
