Chapter 99: Secret talks, ghost-faced insects, good feelings, respect me as you respect God.
This mansion is located in the south city.
There is a plaque with the words Tingyuxuan hanging on it.
The courtyard is deep and secluded, with carved beams and painted buildings.
There are two white jade lions placed at the door, which is extremely luxurious.
At this time, there was a skinny old man sitting on each of the three armchairs in the room.
A beautiful lady in palace dress wearing embroidered shoes and a red paper umbrella placed flat on her knees.
A terrifying man with a bald head and bare upper body, with silver fist claws made of unknown metal on his hands. He has muscles all over his body and two long bloody fangs protruding from his mouth.
The brazier in the room cast the shadows of the three people on the wall, causing them to twist and jump constantly.
"Friend Zhao, stop howling. You have many experts in Yinshan Prefecture. You have always been at odds with the deceased Hei Sanlang. Now that he is dead, why get so angry?" The speaker was the skinny old man sitting in the first seat. He spoke weakly, and looked like a frail old man who was about to die.
However, none of the red-clad umbrella lady and the terrifying corpse king present dared to look down on this old man.
This can be seen from the fact that he sat above the two of them.
He is the Master Jiyin of Huangquan Sect.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the Daoist Fellow Zhao he mentioned, the terrifying corpse king with a violent aura, immediately stopped roaring and listened attentively.
The beautiful lady in palace dress sitting beside him with a peaceful face couldn't help but sneer and said, "Friend Jiyin, you don't know that Heisabalang of the Dark Flame Corpse is at odds with the Corpse King Zhao, but he and Heisabalang's wife, Hu Erniang, are on good terms."
"His old lover was beaten to death. He must be furious."
Upon hearing the words of the beautiful lady in palace dress, King Zhao cast his cruel gaze towards the umbrella girl in red. He stared at her curvy figure with his big eyes like copper bells, and finally stopped at her fair and beautiful neck.
Seeing the murderous look in King Zhao's eyes, the beautiful woman in palace dress remained fearless.
She puffed out her chest, crossed her long legs and sat with her toes straight. A small section of thin white silk stockings as thin as a cicada's wing was exposed on the embroidered shoes. She licked her blood-red lips and laughed: "What's the big deal about the death of Hu Erniang? Why don't you come to my room tonight and have a chat? I promise you will be happy and romantic, as if you are in the clouds~"
"If the Corpse King cannot forget the old love and is in a good mood, he can ask me to wear the clothes of Hu Erniang to cheer him up. That's fine."
Zhao Shiwang's heart was shaken, and then he thought of the rumors about the red-dressed umbrella girl. His eyes regained their clarity. He cursed the roast chicken in his heart and said in a slang voice: "Anyway, it is my Yinshan Prefecture that has lost two generals, while you Huangquan Sect and Hongfang have only lost some small fish and shrimps. Of course you can stand and make sarcastic remarks."
"The new idiot hired by the Zhen'an Division has obviously practiced some powerful pupil technique, and his body training is even more amazing. Moreover, he is like a madman. Even some of our spies planted in the city were caught by him and put into jail. If this continues, the progress of our blood sacrifice plan will be greatly hindered. Now we have to come up with a plan tonight, whether to fight or make peace, to work together to kill him or to avoid the South City guarded by him."
Master Ji Yin glanced sideways and stopped the red-dressed umbrella girl who was trying to tease Zhao Shiwang. He said, "Umbrella girl, what do you think?"
Seeing Master Ji Yin speak, the umbrella girl restrained her wanton expression and said seriously, "In the matter of blood sacrifice, it is unwise to act recklessly. After all, Longjiang Prefecture is the home ground of the Zhen'an Division. A strong attack like the one we did in Yinshan Prefecture before is extremely risky."
"The only solution now is to outsmart them."
"How do we outsmart them? Umbrella girl, just tell me. If we succeed this time, we three major forces will definitely give you a bigger share when we discuss the merits and rewards."
After hearing what Master Jiyin said, the umbrella girl finally showed a satisfied smile. She smiled and took out a small wooden box from her chest and opened it.
Inside was a large worm that was constantly wriggling and spitting out pink meat balls the size of soybeans.
What’s weird is that this giant insect’s head has human-like facial features, including eyes, nose, and mouth.
It turned around and showed an anthropomorphic smile to everyone, and spoke human words as its mouth opened and closed: "The demon insect greets the three Taoist friends. Please forgive me for being sealed by a secret method and unable to greet you."
Upon seeing this pink giant bug that was not much bigger than a silkworm, Master Jiyin, who usually remained calm even when faced with a catastrophe, could not help but become furious. He stood up suddenly and exclaimed, "Ghost-faced bug?"
"Could it be that Madam Hongfang Die is here too?"
What scared him was not the ghost-faced insect. Although the ghost-faced insect was difficult to deal with, with his level of cultivation, he could kill it with some effort.
What frightened him was the owner behind the ghost-faced insect.
A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Madam Die is a great figure comparable to those in the realm of refining the spirit and returning to the void, and a master in the realm of true person.
It seems that Hongfang has put a lot of effort into obtaining the relics of Taoist Evil Dragon this time.
For a moment, Master Jiyin's mind was in a state of confusion, his expression was gloomy and no one knew what he was thinking.
The ghost-faced insect spoke in human language: "Yes, the master has indeed arrived outside the city, but for some reason it is inconvenient to enter the city."
"Since fellow Taoist from Hongfang has already made a plan, then we will just wait for good news." Master Jiyin and King Zhao Shi said in unison, both of them had gloomy eyes at this time.
…
…
On the second day, the sun was shining brightly, and its light spread all over the earth, covering Longjiang Prefecture with a layer of golden gauze.
The streets were filled with hawking sounds again.
No matter how powerful the evil spirits are, as long as there are no large-scale deaths, the people will not panic excessively and hide in their homes.
People always have to eat, and they have to make a living. Ordinary people have very little savings, and most of them are people who can't make ends meet.
Working until death is the norm for ordinary people.
Those unlucky people who died in various accidents became the topic of conversation among the survivors.
This is a kind of... finding happiness in misery? Or is it numbness?
Ordinary people who do not have power can only passively accept the judgment of fate.
This is especially true for the people of Longjiang Prefecture today.
Every time I open my eyes, I feel secretly happy.
Damn, it feels so good to live another day!
This is especially true today in the southern part of Longjiang Prefecture, where crowds of people are bustling.
All this was thanks to Yi Chen's hard work yesterday.
Under his policy of everyone having to go through checks and report on each other, he found three more little evil spirits yesterday afternoon and once again earned thirty deep red points.
This is what it means when one works hard, heaven will not let him down.
By bullying the weak, he earned a total of 80 deep red points yesterday.
This made him even more excited, and he brought a group of militiamen out to clean up the streets early this morning.
"Master, give me some steamed buns. They are freshly baked. Please try them."
"Master, have some dates. I just picked them. They are very fresh."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Master, you've worked hard. Take a roast chicken with you. My Pan's Roast Chicken Shop is a century-old shop in Longjiang Prefecture. It is considered one of the best roast chickens in Longjiang Prefecture!"
Not long after coming out, Yi Chen and the group of people behind him were warmly welcomed by the people on the street.
The enthusiasm was so great that Yi Chen was stunned.
There is no need for the guard to even call out, as there are people maintaining order and everyone is queued up to pass through.
Wherever he went, the people there would vied with each other to give him gifts. They might not be very precious, just some ordinary food and eggs or something like that, but they were all full of sincerity and their eyes were as pure as a college student.
This silenced Master Yi, who always had a flexible moral bottom line.
Maybe this is what the people are like. As long as you are a little bit nice to them, they will remember your kindness.
If you treat them a little better, they will even deify you.
From the very beginning, when Yi Chen took on the task of guarding the South City District, his motives were not pure. He was an opportunist, and the first thing he considered when doing things was not morality, but risk and benefit. Therefore, he wandered around the South City District for a whole day yesterday, plowing the land over and over again.
And his methods were extremely brutal.
He arrested many people in the crowd who liked to spread rumors and sent them to jail.
There must be some innocent people among them who like to gossip.
However, he didn't have the time to figure out who the hidden players were, so he just arrested them all and locked them up together.
The prison in the south city is now crowded with people.
It was so crowded that you had to sleep standing up... in prison.
If you don't make trouble and behave yourself, you can eat three fist-sized potatoes a day.
Making trouble? Then you are a Barbie Q, you can eat at least three fist-sized meals of potatoes a day... It can be said that Yi Chen's way of doing things, except for the cover, did not violate the Geneva Convention, and the rest of the rules basically violated the Geneva Convention of the previous life... Some rogues were even worse, sneaky and uncooperative, did not respect him, Master Yi, and had a bad reputation among the neighbors, and he also swept them away.
This kind of idiot is obviously a peripheral force of the Huangquan Sect. It is suitable to be sent outside the city to mine or to be concentrated to grow potatoes.
His work is so crude that he looks like a failed Austrian art student, but that doesn't stop the people of South City from worshipping him as a god.
Because he really confused the people from the Huangquan Sect, Hongfang, Yinshan Mansion and other evil forces.
The entire South City is like a meat grinder under Yi Chen's organization. If they do something abnormal, they will be caught in the vast sea of the people. If they behave abnormally, they will be reported, and then a tall Taoist will come with his weapons and plow over.
This tall Taoist is just like a dog. He himself doesn't know where he will go next, and he is going very fast. The evil spirits in Nancheng District feel extremely stressed and don't dare to meet their KPIs in Nancheng District at all.
With the encouragement of the crimson dot, Yi Chen's subjective initiative was fully exerted.
"Master, here's an egg for you." A little girl with long blond hair and bare feet ran over, holding a half-eaten egg.
Yi Chen sighed helplessly, picked up the little girl and handed her to her mother, and also gave the two strings of candied haws given to him by others to the little girl.
For some reason, the Taoist priest who dared to fight and punch any ferocious demons and evil spirits, suddenly felt a stinging pain in his eyes today when facing the burning gazes of many people.
He felt that he was unworthy of the admiration.
But he quickly adjusted his mentality.
He puffed out his chest.
I deserve it!
Let's talk about the actions, not the intention. At most, I can be a little more serious.
Do your best and leave the rest to fate.
He raised his head and looked at the blue sky, his brows slightly furrowed.
He had a feeling that a storm was about to come.
At this moment, Yi Chen's heart was not as optimistic as the sky. He felt that behind the blue sky and white clouds, dark clouds were about to come.
Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it! (End of this chapter)
