Chapter 81 It's Your Turn
"Jiangnanzhou has been prosperous since ancient times, and Yuhang Town is not a remote place. How come the local evil spirits are so rampant? It's simply... it's simply unruly."
"I haven't been here for long, but I've already encountered assassinations many times. This time I might as well come to the county government office to rob people..."
"What kind of monsters and demons...what kind of beautiful women with painted skin...what kind of traps and tricks..."
Jiang Shouyin muttered to himself while sitting cross-legged and practicing breathing exercises.
"Hey, Junior Master, did you forget something?" The dwarf Taoist priest who was serving water nearby suddenly asked.
"What?"
"Nothing, I just feel it doesn't quite match..."
He was just talking nonsense when Jiang Shouyin's chest suddenly tensed up, his brows knitted together, and he inhaled a puff of smoke out of thin air, which swirled around his nose for three weeks before entering.
"puff--"
When this breath entered the body, a stream of black blood immediately came out.
After spitting out the blood, Jiang Shouyin's face turned pale instantly, but looking at his expression, he seemed to be relieved a little.
"call--"
He let out another long breath, took the towel from the ugly and strong Taoist priest on the other side, and wiped his face.
Then he asked, "How is Yuning?"
"Junior Sister Yu Ning's Yin energy has entered her brain. Although her life is not in danger, it may take some time for her to wake up." Taoist Priest Pu Ai replied.
At this moment, there was a hurried but not strong knock on the door outside.
Gongsun Zhe asked, "Is Daoist Master Jiang okay?"
"Lord Gongsun, please come in. I'm no longer in danger." Jiang Shouyin said, his voice revealing an unconcealable weakness.
Li Chu followed Gongsun Zhe and came over together.
Seeing this, Jiang Shouyin's first reaction was to get off the bed, stand up, and salute Li Chu: "Daoyou Li Chu."
Then he greeted Gongsun Zhe: "Master Gongsun."
He then apologized, "I'm sorry that I'm not good enough in martial arts and failed to protect Miss Gongsun."
"Alas, Master Jiang, please don't blame yourself. Maybe... this is my daughter's destiny." Gongsun Zhe said gritting his teeth.
Although he was extremely upset at the moment, he had no intention of blaming anyone.
The Taoists from Shenxu Temple came to help him out of kindness, and they have really done their best recently. However, seeing the severity of Jiang Shouyin's injuries, they really are unable to do anything.
He pointed at Li Chu behind him and said, "Master Li and I came here to understand the details of what happened. I would like to ask you to explain it to us."
"good."
Jiang Shouyin waited for everyone to sit down, then said, "My nephew Yu Ning had been accompanying Miss Gongsun, but was just ambushed and knocked unconscious."
"I sensed a burst of evil energy in the government office, so I hurried over and found that it was Miss Bai Ling. She had robbed Miss Gongsun and was about to leave."
"I quickly chased after him, and another ghost appeared to block my way. It was Master Bai Jian."
"Both his father and his daughter are actually ghosts in disguise! Bai Jian is a skeleton, and Bai Ling is a painted skin. They both have at least hundreds of years of experience."
"Ah?" Gongsun Zhe exclaimed in surprise when he heard this.
I never thought that the master I respected so much... was a ghost.
No wonder I always thought he was knowledgeable about everything. It turns out that he was a resurrected person from ancient times and has been deceiving himself from the beginning to the end.
Ye Qi’s mother is also... no, Huo’s mother is also.
I was fooled by this old ghost!
"I fought with that Bai Jian, but I didn't expect that he was so powerful... I was defeated and was hit by his palm. The poison entered my body and I just used my internal energy to force out the poisonous blood."
After a pause and a little hesitation, he added: "In my opinion, Bai Ling is at least at the level of a ghost general, and Bai Jian... should be a ghost commander."
Speaking of this, Jiang Shouyin actually felt a little aggrieved.
After all, our Shenxu Temple is a grand temple in Chaoge and a famous Taoist sect. Even if the disciples we send out are not outstanding, they are good enough for us to travel the world.
Arriving in this small town of Yuhang, even if we can't say we are launching a dimensionality reduction attack, it is at least more than enough.
Who knows here...
Every few days, a big evil spirit would jump out. When I first arrived, a golden lion greeted me... Then another big demon... Then I found that there were ghost generals and ghost commanders hiding under my nose...
The smaller the temple, the stronger the evil spirit; the shallower the pond, the more turtles there are.
In this way, it seems that the disciples of Shenxu Temple are like trash.
Looking at Gongsun Zhe's eyes that cared for the weak, he wanted to explain loudly, it's not that we are not good at it... it's that this place is so wrong!
There are evil spirits everywhere, and they are all big. How can we play?
But at times like this, the more you explain, the more incompetent you will appear, and the more mistakes you make.
As the Taoist scriptures say, if you are wrong you must admit it, and if you are beaten you must stand at attention.
…
After he finished speaking, Gongsun Zhe took out a piece of paper and said, "They also left this in my daughter's room."
There was only one simple line of words written on the note.
"If you want to save Gongsun Rou, tell Li Chu to come to the Corpse Cave in White Bone Mountain at midnight tonight."
When Jiang Shouyin saw the note, an unknown wave of emotion arose in his heart.
When he saw the first few words, his heart skipped a beat.
Because... he is too familiar with this plot.
Once, twice, and three times?
Don't...
Then he saw the name behind it was Li Chu, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's finally your turn.
Or rather, it’s not me anymore…
When Li Chu saw the note, he frowned slightly and looked thoughtful.
Jiang Shouyin looked at Li Chu's expression and nodded secretly. Yes, that's what it tasted like!
Are you confused?
Although I know something is wrong, when a person is inexplicably unlucky for a long time, one day I finally see someone else being the unlucky one...
Then he couldn't help but feel a little...secretly...relieved.
But after all, his sense of justice is still the main thing in his heart.
Jiang Shouyin said, "Daoyou Li Chu, my injuries will take at least a few days to recover. The only two nephews Xue and Liu in Shenxu Temple who can help you are my two disciples. In addition, my mount, the green donkey, is a rare spiritual beast with extremely fast speed, so you can use it as well."
Puai and Chouzhuang, who were carrying a basin of water and a towel, were suddenly pointed at by him. They were startled and their eyes showed the same panic.
After all, the junior master was beaten like this, it was hard for them not to be afraid.
Li Chu glanced between the two of them, and in the end... he only took the mount away.
In his opinion, the donkeys in Shenxu Temple are pretty good, but the people...
Let’s not talk about it.
…
When Gongsun Rou woke up, she found herself in a dark and open deep cave.
Only a ray of moonlight could come in through the hole on one side.
At the end of the moonlight, there was a rusty ancient sword.
The patterns engraved on this ancient sword can no longer be seen clearly, and the blade is also a little damaged, but for some reason, it gives people a very heavy feeling.
It seems heavier than a mountain.
"You woke up much faster than I expected." A charming voice suddenly sounded in the darkness, "I thought you would just see the little Taoist priest coming to die."
"Bai Ling?"
Gongsun Rou struggled to sit up because it was very uncomfortable lying on the cold, hard stone floor.
"Haha, my name is not Bai Ling, it sounds so ugly, my real name... is Hong Ling."
The cold and beautiful female Painted Skin came up to her, bent down, and looked down at Gongsun Rou's face.
Gongsun Rou thought her eyes were scary and a little frightened. Her eyelashes trembled slightly and she whispered, "These two names are similar..."
The female Painted Skin's eyebrows twitched.
"Instead of worrying about these unimportant things, you should worry about yourself." She said unhappily, "In two hours, the little Taoist priest will come in to save you, and then you will see with your own eyes that he was killed by our king, and then..."
Her fingers gently roamed around Gongsun Rou's eye sockets, "I like your eyes..."
"Your king?" Gongsun Rou was a little confused.
In fact, she had no idea what was going on.
But in this environment, she didn't dare to ask.
Before Hong Ling could answer, a strange rumbling sound suddenly came from the depths of the cave.
It seemed as if a ball of strange blue flame had lit up, and the light shone far away, but when it fell into people's eyes, they could not feel any warmth at all.
There is only... endless depth and coldness.
A look of deep fear suddenly flashed across Hong Ling's face, as if the firelight was reflecting the underworld.
After a long time, a skeleton came out from the depths of the fire with a clang.
Every bone in Bai Jian's body was filled with excitement. Compared to before, its skeleton seemed to have a deeper color in the pure white.
"The king's strength... has been fully restored!" Bai Jian's voice was pious and excited.
"Really...really?" Hong Ling was a little unbelievable.
"Of course, the king has re-refined this bone body for me, and I feel..." Bai Jian clenched his five fingers in ecstasy, feeling unprecedented power.
"I feel like I can deal with that little Taoist priest without my king's help!" it said.
Thanks to "YiCheng" for the 100 rewards, thanks to "An Danwei" for the 100 rewards, thanks to "Jiangnan King" for the 100 rewards, thanks to "Qianxun Hao" for the 1,000 rewards, thanks to "Just kidding" for the 100 rewards, and thanks to "Hao Duo Tu" for the 200 rewards.
