Chapter 65: Corpse Farm

065 Corpse Farm

The thief that Li Jin mentioned was in the northwest of Ping'an Town. After saying goodbye to their master with gritted teeth, Xiang Jiannan and the other two got on Wang's carriage.

Ever since Wang and his party got on the carriage with Mr. Chen, the donkey cart that they had ridden before was gloriously retired. He came on this trip with a mission, which was to try his best to perform better in front of Li Jin. When the old Taoist priest borrowed the carriage, he also brought up the Demon Subduing Division. The head of the Chen family thought this was an opportunity.

It’s not too much to use my carriage to make yourself familiar to others.

The Chen family really needs to build good relationships with people with official backgrounds. It was impossible to find a way to the Demon-Suppressing Division before.

I tried to say as much as possible, leaving the name of the Chen family of Ping'an Town in his mind, just in case we could establish a good relationship.

“I really didn’t expect that.”

After getting on the carriage, he completely relaxed. Not long after the carriage started moving, the Dafa monk looked out the window from time to time.

This journey is estimated to take two or three days. Judging from Li Jin's words, it will definitely be a fierce battle.

I never thought that I would have something to do with the people from the Demon Subduing Division one day. To be honest, this is all the fault of the little Taoist priest in front of me. Why should I care about so many other people's business?

"I didn't expect it either. It was so sudden."

He had always felt that he had been too rushed these past two days. Listening to Wang Yihang's continuous singing outside the carriage, Xiang Jiannan secretly touched his left sleeve.

There was a stack of talismans that the master had stuffed into their pockets. After a quick look, they saw there were about a dozen of them, saying that they could guarantee a worry-free trip. Li Jin and the Dafa monk looked at them with envy.

Taoist talismans! The old Taoist priest really loves his apprentice. Regardless of whether it has any effect, at least the action is there. Unlike the two of them, every time they go out, they hear some meaningless words.

"Dafa, don't cause trouble when you go out."

"Li Jin, this matter is of great importance. The higher-ups have issued an order that there must be a result within three days. How to do it is something you should be concerned about."

"Where did that group of thieves come from?"

Not knowing the details of what Li Jin was asking for help with, the Dafa monk immediately started to ask. When he was pulled over, he heard a brief summary, and apart from the fact that the person was difficult to deal with, there didn't seem to be anything else.

Even if the Demon-Suppressing Division doesn't have enough staff, doesn't it still have the government office? The Zhou Dynasty can mobilize more official forces than just these few, which is a bit troublesome.

"I don't know. I just discovered it recently."

Without telling Xiang Jiannan and the Dafa monk, Li Jin replied with a bit of self-righteousness: "Anyway, their behavior is very suspicious. I have been keeping an eye on them for a long time!"

What is this? It sounds so weird.

Seeing Li Jin's expression of "I said he is that person", Xiang Jiannan was embarrassed and simply stopped talking. He and his master did not ask many questions when they were in Ping'an Temple. Was he communicating in the same way when he went to find the Dafa monk?

People who practice cultivation don’t pay much attention to details? “In that case, it really must be eliminated.”

As if he was talking to himself, the Dafa monk actually understood after Li Jin finished answering. The two men exchanged glances, vowing to fight the criminals to the end, which made Xiang Jiannan confused.

The more they argue, the smoother the communication becomes. It's hard to understand how this tacit understanding comes about.

There was basically no conversation as they headed west, and they entered a small town late at night. Xiang Jiannan and the others finally arrived near the destination that Li Jin had mentioned. As it was too late, they could not go into the city, so they could only wait here until dawn.

When they arrived at the destination, they were already exhausted. After getting off the car, Xiang Jiannan saw several figures standing at the intersection ahead. They were shadowy and only moved vaguely after they got off the car. As Li Jin stepped forward and waved, the figures quickly approached.

"What's going on?"

"No."

"Continue to monitor."

Isn't this a helper?

Seeing the few people who came closer disperse in an instant, Xiang Jiannan smelled a familiar scent in the darkness.

These people had a strong musty smell on them, exactly the same as the pig demon that appeared that night. Even at such a close distance, Dafa Monk and Wang and his party did not seem to smell it. It was not until everyone had dispersed that they yawned and yelled at Li Jin to get them some food.

I haven't had anything to eat since we set out from Ping'an Temple, and I only drank water a few times with the horse.

“This is it.”

Leading the way, Li Jin led a few people to the door of a residence. When they pushed open the door, they found that it was completely silent inside. The house looked very large, but it did not look like it had been uninhabited for a long time. It was not until Wang and his party unloaded the carriage and took out the fodder that Xiang Jiannan realized that they had all come in through the back door.

It is impossible for a carriage to enter through the front gate. From the moment we were about to enter the house, everything seemed a little strange. It felt like it appeared very suddenly. With such a grand back door, whose mansion was this?

"You can rest in all the rooms in the yard. It's better not to have dinner."

Li Jin took his water bag from the car, drank a few sips and passed it to everyone:

"The owner of this house is asleep now. It's better not to bother them so late at night. Let's take a rest for the night. We will go into the city at dawn."

"Don't walk around anywhere!"

“Why do I feel so scared?”

Li Jin leaned towards Xiang Jiannan while he was talking. Wang Yihang only then realized something was wrong. He hadn't seen a single person since he came in. It was too late for the host to have such a rule. Could it be that the Demon Subduing Division had specifically ordered this? He didn't dare to say much in front of Li Jin, so he could only mutter to himself.

The yard seems to be getting colder and colder.

"In that case, I will go to sleep first, monk."

He happily chose a nearby room. When the monk pushed the door open and entered the room, he suddenly asked, "Is there anyone who wants to sleep with me tonight? There is something in this yard."

When he spoke, his eyes actually shone with two bright lights, and Wang Yihang, who was staring at him, almost fainted on the spot.

"I will sleep with the young Taoist priest tonight. Thank you for your concern, Master."

After saying that, he grabbed Xiang Jiannan's sleeve tightly, as if he was afraid that he would run away suddenly.

The Dafa monk also noticed something was wrong. When he closed the door, there seemed to be some kind of aura around him. Xiang Jiannan looked at Li Jin without saying a word, and then walked to a room behind him. He almost pinched Wang Yixing's hand when he closed the door.

The tension between the two was obvious to one and hidden to the other. Why did Li Jin suddenly refuse to tell the truth?

"Little Taoist priest, where do you sleep?"

After entering the house, the first thing they did was light a candle. Wang and his party had relied on the moonlight when they were in the yard. Now that they were in the room, they felt a little safer. When they talked to Xiang Jiannan, their lips trembled from time to time:

"Is there something wrong with this yard? Why does it feel colder and colder the longer I stay here?"

"Don't listen to that bald ass nonsense of Dafa,"

At the moment, stabilizing people's hearts is the most important thing. Xiang Jiannan rolled up the quilt on the couch and comforted Wang Yi and his party:

"That monk always likes to scare people, so just don't go out and wander around at night."

"Isn't that still a problem?"

His face wrinkled instantly. Just a few minutes after he felt relieved, Wang Yihang's scalp began to tingle again: "Isn't Lord Li from the Demon Subduing Division? He shouldn't harm us, right? What I mean is..."

"Of course not. My identity is there."

Lying on the bed and leaving half of the space for Wang Yihang, Xiang Jiannan urged him to turn off the lights.

"The open fire in the corpse-raising area cannot be kept for too long, otherwise it may attract some dirty things."

"A place for raising corpses? What are you talking about, little Taoist priest?"

It took Wang Yixing a long time to react to Xiang Jiannan's words. It was not until his cheeks were burned by the flames that he realized that he had gotten too close. He looked at the candle flame that had just been lit and did not dare to touch it, for fear that after he blew it out, Xiang Jiannan would be right and see something dirty.

Is this what you think it means, little Taoist priest? Please open your eyes and answer me!
