After a great battle, Qingyuan Mountain was in ruins, and many zombies had broken into nearby villages and towns, and were being jointly besieged by the Xuanmen people and the army. The blood gushing out there was still burning, and Lin Dan placed the Corpse-Eating Gu King inside it, letting it continue to be tempered by Yin Fire, Ghost Fire, and Poison Fire.
Having absorbed so much negative energy, evil energy, ghost energy and poisonous energy, and devoured all the zombies in Qingyuan Mountain, everyone present knew the strength of this Gu King. Even if all the masters of Haicheng Xuanmen were gathered together, it might not be enough for this Gu King to eat in one bite. Lin Dan, who could drive it at will, naturally became the most important figure in Haicheng Xuanmen.
She stood quietly on the tombstone, waiting for her Gu King, while others sat not far away waiting for her. Several youngsters hurried up the mountain with medical kits to remove the poison from the corpses of the masters.
"This is an injury caused by a flying zombie. It cannot be removed. Let's just forget it." Seeing a handful of glutinous rice crumbs applied to the wound, but having no effect, instead a puff of white smoke came out, and then it was all dyed black, an old man could not help but wave his hand with a calm expression. When he went up the mountain, he knew that he was going to die, so he had no regrets.
"No, I'll try the cupping jar!" The young man cried anxiously, his eyes were red and swollen.
"It's useless. I have never heard of anyone who has survived the poison of Hanba's corpse." The old man joked, "It's not shameful for me to die at the hands of Hanba."
“Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about! Xuanmen is so big, there must be someone who knows a way!” The young man took out his cell phone and prepared to notify several uncles, but saw Lin Dan lightly jumped off the tombstone and walked towards him. The crisp sound of silver bells echoed in the cemetery with her steps, ding-dong, dang-dang... as if singing a beautiful song.
The call was connected, and the other end kept shouting "Hello, hello, hello", but the younger generation just stared at Lin Dan blankly, as if he had lost his soul.
"Let me take a look." Lin Dan squatted down and checked the wounds of several old men.
"Ah? Ah! Thank you, thank you!" The young man finally came to his senses and staggered back a few steps, his whole face flushed red.
Bai Sheng was trying to remove the poison from Bai Xian, but it didn't work. Seeing Lin Dan offering to help, he was overjoyed. "Lin Dan, my uncle Bai Xian is the most seriously injured. He has just vomited several mouthfuls of black blood. Can you help him first?"
Baixian was the youngest and strongest among the nine people, so he naturally took on the responsibility of protecting the other masters. If Bai Sheng hadn't supported him, he would have probably fallen down by now.
Lin Dan immediately held his wrist to feel his pulse, then took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth, then used the magic power accumulated in his palms to slowly massage his stomach to help the pill dissolve. Three minutes later, Bai Xian suddenly struggled to get up, ran to a hidden bush and began to vomit violently. After vomiting a pool of sticky and smelly black blood, he felt refreshed and very comfortable.
"Lin Dan, your medical skills are also very good." His pale cheeks were already flushed, and he was actually getting better.
Lin Dan said slowly: "Witchcraft and medicine are originally one, and witchcraft and poison therapy are inseparable. Naturally, I am good at removing poison. Don't worry, elders. I will treat you one by one." She didn't say a word. She knew who was more seriously injured with just a casual glance, and then walked over to treat him. The glutinous rice crumbs that were useless in the hands of others became a life-saving remedy after she added a few herbs. It took only a short time for the poison in the corpse to be completely eliminated after applying it.
Several juniors thanked her repeatedly with tears of gratitude, but she remained expressionless and did not show any smug look. The masters liked her more and more and were about to start a conversation with her when a group of heavenly masters escorted the disheveled Ai Yu up the mountain, followed by the mayor of Haicheng and several military officers.
"Bai Xian, it stands to reason that our government cannot intervene in the affairs of your Xuanmen, but look at what Haicheng has become because of the harm done by your Xuanmen people. Today, I must ask you for an explanation for more than 10 million Haicheng people. How are you going to deal with this troublemaker?" The mayor of Haicheng questioned, "Your Heavenly Masters have great abilities and great responsibilities. If you are irresponsible, the trouble you cause will naturally be great. If there are a few more people like Ai Yu, who will clean up the mess for you? If something happens, you have plenty of ways to deal with it, and if you can't deal with it, you can run away, but the ordinary people of Haicheng can't run away, they are the most innocent."
Bai Xian said sternly: "Mayor Xu, don't worry, we will definitely punish the perpetrators severely."
After hearing this, Ai Yu couldn't help but shrink his shoulders, but he quickly raised his head and glanced at Lin Dan, his eyes full of unwillingness.
"How are you going to deal with this?" Mayor Xu did not relax at all and insisted on getting a result right away.
"Use her to fill the blood!" Blind Bear said in a sinister tone. The reason why he was called Blind Bear was, firstly, because he was blind, and secondly, because he had a violent temper. Whenever there was a traitor among his disciples who did something that was harmful to the Xuanmen sect or to ordinary people, he would humble himself and deal with it personally, either killing the person outright or capturing his soul and refining it into a ghost flag. His methods were extremely cruel. Now that he is old, his temper has become much gentler. He only suggested filling the person's blood instead of skinning and bone him, which was considered extremely merciful.
Zhou Nan didn't think so, and immediately stood up to defend Ai Yu: "Mr. Xiong, Ai Yu didn't know that it was the extremely evil place of Shuangshi Zhenxue, please let her go this time!"
"If we let her go, who will explain to the people who died in vain?" Mayor Xu said sadly, "Do you know how many people died down there? I just received data from the military. Three villages were massacred. Twenty-six empty cars were found on the highway in succession. Three major car accidents occurred, with a total death toll of more than 600 people and countless injured. Tonight, the city's transportation system is operating at high speed, evacuating millions of people, causing billions of property losses, and alarming the central government. Who will bear such serious consequences? Can everything be smoothed over by saying 'I didn't know'?"
Zhou Nan didn't expect so many people to die at the foot of the mountain. His cheeks flushed, but he still said in a hoarse voice: "But Ai Yu is not yet an adult. Even if we use the secular law to judge her, she is not guilty of the death penalty. She did it unintentionally."
"It was an unintentional mistake. Wasn't she doing it for the ten million?" Bai Sheng sneered.
Lin Dan, who had been guarding the Gu King, suddenly turned around and looked straight at Ai Yu.
Mayor Xu was the first to notice her gaze, and his tone softened unconsciously: "Does this master have any advice?"
"No." Lin Dan pursed her lips and said calmly: "I just didn't expect that it is so easy for you Tianshi to make money. You charge 10 million for doing one thing, but I only have 200 yuan a month as a poverty subsidy." We are all human beings, why is there such a big gap? She frowned, her mind full of doubts.
Two hundred dollars a month in poverty assistance? Mayor Xu almost thought he was hallucinating. For such a capable person, it would be easy for him to make a lot of money, so how could he be so poor?
Bai Xian and the others blushed and felt embarrassed.
The contact person had already found Lin Dan's information, and quickly whispered in Mayor Xu's ear: "Mayor Xu, Master Lin came from the Miao village in Shuchuan. She is an orphan without a father or a mother. She grew up relying on government subsidies. She is a very simple person. After she came to Haicheng, she has been studying in school. She rarely comes into contact with people from the Xuanmen, and she doesn't understand those twists and turns."
I see! Mayor Xu nodded with sudden realization. He already had a very favorable impression of Lin Dan, and now his favorable impression had risen to 100%. Lin Dan is outside the Xuanmen, and her strength is much higher than that of everyone else. If the government can win her over, they won't have to go to the Xuanmen and beg for help in the future.
Thinking of this, Mayor Xu immediately promised: "Master Lin, you saved the people of Haicheng today. To thank you for your bravery, our Haicheng government has decided to reward you with 20 million in cash and a house. You can choose the location. What do you think?"
With just one sentence, he got a huge sum of money and a house. Even if Lin Dan was calm, he couldn't help licking his lips.
"Then I'd be honored to refuse." She didn't refuse and took it without hesitation.
Mayor Xu had a better impression of her when he saw that she neither said those empty polite words nor bargained. Although the time of contact was very brief, he had seen countless people and could easily see what kind of person Lin Dan was. She is taciturn, steady, experienced, and has a good heart. No matter how powerful she is, she is still a very reliable person. It is undoubtedly reassuring to make friends with such people.
"Then I'll send someone to deliver the bonus and the property certificate later." The Yin Qi in Yongxue was still burning. Lin Dan's Gu King was lying in the flames, enjoying the tempering of the Netherworld Fire. He definitely couldn't leave for a while. Mayor Xu felt relieved to have her guarding here.
Lin Dan nodded and said nothing more.
Mayor Xu looked at Bai Xian and the others and said coldly, "More than 600 lives, what a huge sin that is! Don't you people in the Xuanmen pay the most attention to merit and virtue? Why are you now using the secular laws to make a fuss?"
Before Bai Xian could speak, Zhou Xinghe said slowly, "Then abolish Ai Yu's Taoist magic, extract her Taoist bones, and lock her up in the dark prison for a hundred days. Is this okay?"
The blind bear glanced at Zhou Xinghe with his white eyes and did not express any objection. Bai Xian hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
The liaison officer whispered in Mayor Xu's ear: "If the Taoist bone is removed, this person will be useless and will have to be paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life. The black prison is a cell built with a special confinement array that can block magic power, isolate light, and swallow sound. Entering the black prison is like entering nothingness. You can't see any light or hear any sound. It can cause irreversible damage to a person's nerves. Ordinary people who enter such a place will go crazy within a minute. There are very few Tianshi who can survive for a hundred days. It is an extremely cruel punishment."
Mayor Xu glanced at Ai Yu and nodded, "I agree with your opinion. But you must write a detailed investigation report on today's incident, and I have to report it to the central government."
"Okay." Bai Xian nodded in agreement.
Ai Yu, who was captured by two heavenly masters, struggled violently and kept shouting in the direction of Lin Dan: "Ancestor, save me! I don't want to have my Taoist bones taken away, I don't want to be a useless person!" She cried and shouted like a madman.
No one noticed that an extremely handsome man was standing next to Lin Dan, saying something with a smile on his face. As for Ai Yu's shouting, to him it was just like the buzzing of a fly, so he just ignored it.
Everyone thought Ai Yu had gone crazy, but after a calming talisman was put on her, she calmed down.
