Chapter 207 It's all tricks
Late at night, there is a lonely moon.
In the Nancheng Temple, candles were lit in the clean rooms.
Dulanke looked at his disciple who still had a dejected look on his face and sighed, feeling disappointed in him.
"Didn't go in?" he asked.
"It went in." The apprentice stammered, "But I didn't test the depth..."
"What's the meaning?"
"He... he's too deep! I can't even feel the edge..."
"I threw the Yin-Gathering Pill into the well, and the strengthened ghost appeared and was killed by him with a single sword before it had a chance to show up. Then my invisibility talisman couldn't escape his eyes either, and I was caught red-handed."
The disciple still felt a little scared when he mentioned it.
"You were caught?" Dulanke immediately looked at his disciple with concern, and asked with great concern, "You didn't betray me, did you?"
"No." The apprentice shook his head resolutely.
Dulanke patted his disciple's shoulder with satisfaction, "You are truly worthy of being my beloved disciple."
The apprentice looked at his master's praise and silently swallowed the words "because he didn't ask".
After a while, Master Du asked again: "So they let you go just like that?"
"It's not that simple." The disciple said, "He took away the gourd of Ju Yin Dan from me, and also said... he also said that he would send two gourds over tomorrow, and this matter would be over..."
"A few gourds of Juyin Dan..."
Taoist Priest Du's cheek twitched in pain.
Nancheng Temple is a small family business. It is not easy to refine a few furnaces of Juyin Dan. That gourd has been used for many years. How many gourds can be produced in one night? "Since they didn't ask about your master, it's probably okay not to send it back."
Unexpectedly, the apprentice looked at him seriously and said, "Master, how can a man go back on his word?"
"Wow." Taoist Du was surprised: "Why didn't I realize that you are so enlightened before?"
The apprentice smiled awkwardly, "Well... I swore a solemn oath to them before I left."
"It doesn't count." Taoist Priest Du waved his hand and said, "As long as you are sincere to the Taoist Patriarch, he will block any oath for you."
"I said that if I don't arrive tomorrow as promised, my parents will die, my master will die suddenly, all my fellow disciples will die, and I will live out my life alone..."
"Open the furnace and make the elixir."
Taoist Du stood up without saying a word.
"Hehe." The apprentice heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Then this matter is over."
"It's over?" Taoist Du's face turned pale. "It's not that easy!"
"Master..." The apprentice immediately became nervous again: "Although Deyun Temple doesn't have many people, that little Taoist priest is really a tough guy. Let's not..."
"No need to say more." Taoist Priest Du raised his hand and said, "This time our methods were too direct. Testing... In fact, there is no need to take action ourselves."
The apprentice looked at him silently, thinking to himself that it would have been nice if you had thought of this earlier.
Dulanke was about to go out, but suddenly turned back and glared at his apprentice.
"Remember to swear next time not to involve others."
…
Deyun Temple.
Li Chu sat in the yard with his eyes closed and a sword across his knees.
The fox girl walked by and asked, "Master, why didn't you ask who sent that person just now?"
"He may not tell the truth even if you ask him." Li Chu said: "Just make him pay a price."
"But... I don't know who the enemy in the dark is, so I'm a little..." The fox girl was still a little worried.
"Who said I don't know?" Li Chu asked back.
"Huh? Didn't you just now..." The fox girl didn't understand what he meant.
"I didn't know just now, but I'll know after I let him go." Li Chu opened his eyes, his eyes clear.
Just now, he followed the disciple all the way back to Nancheng Temple with his mind and determined where this person came from.
In fact, before he went back, Li Chu had guessed it was almost right. After all, they were new here, and the only reason they had to trip them up was because they were in the same industry.
There will be direct competition, and that is this one.
As they were talking, the evil energy in the well ahead began to surge, and the second ghost of the night came out.
“It hurts—”
A skinned ghost with a bright red body climbed up the edge of the well, leaving a bright red blood mark on the ground with every climb.
When it crawled out, it saw a man and a woman looking at it indifferently.
There seemed to be anticipation in their eyes.
Is there something wrong? The skinning ghost was stunned for a moment, but no matter what, it continued to complete its task conscientiously and roared grimly: "Can you give me your skins——"
"Here, I'll give it to you."
Li Chu raised his hand and threw out a green pill that exuded a chill. The pill rolled in front of the skinning ghost.
Hmm? The skinned ghost was stunned again.
Such a strong yin energy, I really want...
but……
What does he mean by giving this to me? It really wants to eat this pill that can increase its strength, but... it feels very humiliating.
Haven't you heard that people who starve to death would not accept charity? But...
Grandpa has already died.
and……
It rolled its terrifyingly bulging eyeballs around and looked at Li Chu, thinking that he looked quite friendly.
Maybe this little Taoist priest wants to... bribe me?
Um.
After changing his mind several times, the skinned ghost ate the pill with strong yin energy without hesitation.
boom--
It’s so simple to increase a ghost’s strength. The yin energy around it suddenly bursts out, and its body size instantly grows!
"roar--"
Even the roar became full of energy! It turned its huge eyeballs to look at the little Taoist priest again, and decided that if he could take out a few more of these pills, it would not eat him.
But just as it made the decision, it saw the little Taoist priest slowly draw out his sword.
etc……
He...
Before it could think clearly, it saw a red dragon approaching. Oh, it's so hot.
It could never have imagined that the moment it had just reached the peak of its ghost life would be the last moment of its ghost life. At this moment, there was only one thought in its mind.
grass.
It's all routine.
…
To Li Chu's surprise, business came early the next morning.
As soon as the door opened in the early morning, the fox girl happily welcomed people in.
The person who came was a young man from a clinic.
The young man looked around with a hesitant look, as if he was unsure about the strength of Deyun Branch.
But when he came in front of Li Chu, he honestly told him about his family's troubles.
"I'm an apprentice at the South City Clinic. There's been an evil spirit in our clinic these past two days."
When the young man mentioned this, there was still some fear on his face.
"My master is the famous Liu Yishou in South City. He used to be a registered disciple at Xuanhu Villa. He is very good at treating external injuries, and is especially proficient in limb replacement."
"My master is a very kind person. Every winter, when the weather gets cold, many beggars get frostbitten hands and feet. My master will take them in for free and help them treat their wounds. So every time at this time, there will be a lot of people in the clinic."
"But a strange thing happened two days ago. That night, a patient in the clinic inexplicably lost an arm!"
"When I asked him what was going on, he didn't know what happened."
"Then... the next night, another person lost an arm!"
"My master arranged for several of us brothers to keep watch at night, but... one of my brothers ran into the man who took away his arm..."
"No, it's not a human, it's a ghost!"
"It also took away my brother's arm..."
"We no longer dare to stay in the clinic at night, but this is not a long-term solution."
"I heard that a new Deyun Temple has opened here, and the Taoist priest inside is very powerful... Little Taoist priest, can you help us solve this problem?"
"I'll do my best." Li Chu nodded slightly, and then asked with some doubt: "This ghost you are talking about never kills people, but only takes their arms?"
"Yes." The young man nodded and said, "Also... there are several patients with injured left hands in the clinic, and nothing has happened to them. It seems that they don't want the right hand, only the left hand!"
"Only the left hand?"
Li Chu frowned, not understanding why.
Obviously...the right hand is better than the left hand.
