Chapter 65 Backer
◎Your backer is Bai Chen. ◎
When Zhang Jicun saw Dahei, he instantly had an idea and wanted to use Dahei to escape.
Yan Yue didn't even think twice and immediately swung the whip at Zhang Jicun!
The shadow was like a snake. Zhang Jicun was directly knocked away by the force of the whip. He fell to the ground and let out a strange and creepy howl.
Bai Chen was extremely shocked, and the tragic screams made the other people in the yard feel terrified. Zhou Lin, Old Jiang, and Chu Zhi all came out and looked at the evil ghost Zhang Jicun who was still rolling around in horror.
Yan Yue looked at the whip in his hand in disbelief and said hesitantly, "Is the power of my whip so great?"
Nan Qing couldn't help but ask, "Why does he show his shape?"
Yan Yue's eyes widened: "Did you see him?"
"The moment the whip touched the evil ghost, he suddenly showed his true form." Bai Chen floated down from the roof, stared at the long whip in Yan Yue's hand and asked, "What else did you do?"
Yan Yue felt extremely wronged: "Your Majesty, I didn't do anything! I was just afraid that he would hurt Dahei, so I stopped him for a while!"
Zhang Jicun’s screams did not last long, and he lay on the ground, gasping for breath, no longer moving.
Nan Qing tied up Zhang Jicun, and everyone looked at the red whip marks on his body that looked like branding, and fell into silence.
Chu Zhi said timidly, "I thought the Dong family could only restrain monsters, but it turns out that the Dong family is more powerful against ghosts."
Zhou Lin and Jiang Lao stood ten steps away and reminded Yan Yue: "How about you put down the whip first?"
Bai Chen asked: "How do you plan to deal with it?"
Yan Yue put away the whip, thought for a moment and said, "How about buying a coffin tomorrow and sealing him up?"
Bai Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, saying in a neutral tone: "Qi Zhaoyang taught you?"
Yan Yue said: "It's said in Chu Zhi's storybook."
…
Bai Chen sighed softly, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or speechless. He just said, "Since he has a physical body, just throw him to the City God Temple. The underworld will come to capture him."
During the Lantern Festival, it is still lively outside.
Bai Chen held Zhang Jicun in one hand and Yan Yue in the other, and walked around the dark streets and alleys. It took a long time before they arrived at the City God Temple.
The City God Temple was empty, there was no one around, it seemed as if everyone had gone out to join in the fun.
After throwing Zhang Jicun in front of the main hall, Yan Yue complained quietly: "You are so capable, why don't you just do it yourself? Why do you have to drag me along?"
Bai Chen asked: "Don't you want to see what the Yincha looks like? They will be here soon, do you want to see?"
"Is it true?" Yan Yue became excited when she heard it.
Bai Chen pulled Yan Yue around to the side of the main hall, explaining as they walked: "On the night of the Lantern Festival, when crowds gather, the underworld's ghosts will patrol the human world to prevent ghosts from causing trouble. Now that the evil ghosts have thrown themselves into the City God Temple, the ghosts will surely arrive soon."
Yan Yueqi asked: "How do you know?"
Bai Chen choked, not knowing how to explain.
Could it be that he and the boss of the underworld have been fighting for the title of the best in the world for hundreds of years, with swords and fists drawing blood and flesh, so he is very familiar with many rules and customs of the underworld?
"I heard that. There are gossips and rumors among monsters..."
Yan Yue's mind was all on the Yin Cha, so Bai Chen fooled her with vague words.
Soon, a gust of wind blew up in the City God Temple, and two ghosts dressed in purple with swords on their waists came walking in the wind.
Yan Yue held onto Bai Chen's arm, peered over and whispered, "This ghost messenger looks no different from an official in the mortal world!"
Bai Chen chuckled: "Then what do you think they should look like?"
Yan Yue thought for a moment and said, "The Ox-Headed Horse-Faced Demon and the Black and White Impermanence!"
Bai Chen explained: "They are soul catchers, how could they just come here to catch a small evil ghost?"
Yan Yue retracted her head and pouted, "At least it should have a green face and fangs, and be terrifying! Otherwise, how can it scare away those evil ghosts and fierce ghosts?"
Bai Chen said helplessly: "They have become evil ghosts and fierce ghosts. Can they still be frightened by the appearance of the Yincha?"
Yan Yue was a little disappointed not seeing the majestic ghost messenger she had imagined. She turned around and was about to leave, but found that the two ghost messengers were standing behind her at some point!
"Oh my god..."
Yan Yue was so scared that she jumped directly behind Bai Chen and asked stutteringly: "What are you doing? I'm telling you, I'll live a hundred years and die of old age! You got the wrong person!"
The two ghost messengers looked at each other, then carefully examined the two people again, and muttered, "One demon and one person?"
Yan Yue didn't dare to say anything, and one of the ghost messengers asked, "Did you hurt this evil ghost?"
Bai Chen was about to open his mouth, but Yan Yue suddenly pulled him back, blinked his innocent eyes, and said innocently: "No!"
In the face of Bai Chen's puzzled expression, Yan Yue began to talk nonsense in a serious manner: "We are just passers-by. We saw this evil ghost fainted on the side of the road. We were worried that the evil ghost would hurt people, so we tied him up and sent him to the City God Temple."
Another ghost asked: "Do you have the ability to see ghosts?"
Yan Yue was vague: "Ah, yes. I can indeed see ghosts, but this doesn't violate any rules of the underworld, right?"
The ghost messenger was stunned by the question, "Of course, this is not a crime. But this evil ghost was injured strangely. Have you ever seen any weird people?"
"No!" Yan Yue answered firmly, with a firm expression as if he was swearing.
The ghost looked at Bai Chen again, and Yan Yue quietly pulled his sleeve, so Bai Chen had no choice but to say, "No."
The ghost retracted his gaze and continued to say to Yan Yue: "Please leave your address and name. If the superiors have any questions in the future, please tell me the whole story of your encounter with this evil ghost."
Bai Chen frowned slightly: "I helped you catch ghosts, but got into trouble?"
Yan Yue was unwilling in her heart, but she didn't dare to offend the ghost. She suddenly had an idea and grabbed Bai Chen and answered: "I am Qi Zhaoyang! You know Qingxu Temple, right? I am the disciple of the Heavenly Master of Qingxu Temple, Qi Zhaoyang!"
Bai Chen looked at Yan Yue in shock. The ghost had obviously heard of Qingxu Temple. He nodded and said, "We will take this evil ghost away first. If we bother you in the future, please cooperate with us."
"Okay, okay!" Yan Yue smiled.
A gust of wind blew up, and the two purple-robed eunuchs disappeared along with Zhang Jicun. Yan Yue heaved a sigh of relief and pulled Qi Zhaoyang up to run away quickly: "Hurry up, hurry up, before they come back again!"
Bai Chen was pulled away by her and asked in confusion: "Why are you afraid of them?"
Yan Yue said: "I have died once! What if they find out that I am a fish that has come back from the dead and escaped, and they directly take my soul away!"
"Then aren't you afraid that they will really find Qi Zhaoyang?" Bai Chen smiled happily, appearing to have a lot of bad intentions.
Yan Yue said confidently: "Qi Zhaoyang must not have died yet. Besides, Qingxu Temple is so big and powerful that they can definitely protect him! I don't have anyone to back me up, so I can't take this risk!"
Bai Chen's smile froze when he heard this.
He stopped and pulled Yan Yue, who was still running forward, back to him, with something he had never seen before surging in his eyes.
"Who said you don't have a backer? I am!"
Yan Yue sneered and said, "Could it be that if the underworld comes to take my soul and I tell them your name, they will let me go?"
Bai Chen smiled softly with the corner of his mouth curled up: "You can try."
"Even if they take your soul away, I have a way to make them send you back!"
Yan Yue thought he was joking, but the next second, a dull bang suddenly came from the City God Temple behind him, and the stone bricks under his feet also shook violently! Before she could react, her body suddenly flew into the air. She screamed, closed her eyes, and relied on instinct to cling to Bai Chen tightly.
Only when his feet were on solid ground again did Yan Yue dare to open his eyes, only to see the huge and majestic City God Temple and the towering temple walls surrounding it collapse like a tornado!
Only the temple gate under your feet remains, standing alone on the ruins, looking eerie and desolate.
Looking at her frightened expression, Bai Chen held her waist tightly and asked with a bright smile: "Did you remember?"
Yan Yue stuttered: "Remember, remember, what?"
Bai Chen rolled his eyes at her, pressed her head into his arms with his other hand, and his voice was lazy and hoarse.
"Your backer is called Bai Chen."
Every word was so clear that it leapt into Yan Yue's ears. The heat heated the area behind my ears, making them itchy and sensitive, just like the hand pressing on my neck, so warm and hot that it went straight to my heart.
At midnight, Yan Yue suddenly sat up.
What she saw was the familiar curtains. The furnishings were exactly in her room. On the quilt was a ball of snow-white. Because she suddenly stood up, she raised her little head in confusion and looked over.
“It was just a dream!”
Yan Yue held Xiao Bai in her arms, stroked its fur and muttered to herself, "Strange! When did I start to dream? Why would I want to destroy the City God Temple in my dream? This is too scary!"
Bai Chen's green eyes rolled around twice, not understanding what was going on: What's so scary about destroying the City God Temple? When fighting with the God of the Underworld, he would smash the City God Temple everywhere to provoke him, otherwise that guy would not come out at all!
Yan Yue realized the next day that she was not dreaming.
During the Lantern Festival, a City God Temple collapsed and the news spread like wildfire early in the morning.
Yan Yue had no idea how she came back. She wanted to wait for Bai Chen to show up and ask him clearly, but strangely, he did not show up today as usual.
The teahouse opened today, and Yan Yue went to the martial arts school as agreed.
The Emei Spear is a close-combat weapon and its usage is completely different from that of a whip. Yan Yue was so excited that he quickly forgot about Bai Chen.
After noon, Captain Zhu suddenly came to the martial arts hall, "Miss Yue, I'll go to the shop to look for you. Miss Chu said you were here!" He bowed solemnly and pleaded eagerly, "Miss Yue, please help me this time!"
The City God Temple collapsed inexplicably during the Lantern Festival, causing widespread buzz among the people. People said that the county government must have made a huge false judgment and the City God was so angry that he destroyed the temple and refused to protect Linjiang City anymore!
Since morning, people have been gathering at the gate of the county government office, demanding that the county magistrate give them an explanation. I thought they would disperse by noon, but more and more people gathered. The county magistrate was unable to appease them, and now they dared not even go out of the yamen!
Yan Yue could never have imagined that one day, she would be promoted to this position.
How could she have the ability to quell the doubts of the people in the city?
But when the words of refusal came to his lips, he swallowed them back. It was Bai Chen who collapsed the City God Temple. She felt guilty just standing by and watching, letting the government and the county magistrate take the blame.
Following Captain Zhu to the City God Temple again, Yan Yue looked at the ruins and wiped the sweat off his face guiltily.
"Miss Yue, do you see anything?"
Facing Captain Zhu's earnest gaze, Yan Yue cleared his throat and said mysteriously, "There is a strong demonic aura here. In addition to the demonic aura, there is also a violent aura. If I am right, it is because the demons and evil spirits are fighting fiercely here, which has led to this situation."
"Just report it like this!"
Yan Yue made up a bunch of nonsense and wanted to leave after finishing her perfunctory speech, but was stopped by Captain Zhu again!
"etc!"
