Chapter 29: Stinky Taoist Priest, Taoist Master

"A mine?"

After leaving the mass grave, we didn't walk far before we came across a mine cave. There was an oil lamp hanging at the entrance of the cave. The faint light could only illuminate half a meter and could not penetrate the surrounding darkness.

When I arrived at the entrance of the mine, I saw a yellow talisman pasted on the rock wall nearby, with incomprehensible spells painted on it.

But this talisman smells of Shan Gui’s blood.

"Anyone there?"

Lin Fan shouted towards the mine.

The sound is transmitted.

I seemed to hear some movement inside.

With doubts in mind, he walked towards the mine.

If you want to discover the problems in Yong'an Town, you probably have to start from here.

…

The next day.

In the broken house.

Lin Fan sat at the table and looked at Shan Gui who was about to wake up. He had finished his night watch last night and came back to sleep at dawn. Now it was exactly noon and he was showing signs of waking up.

"I slept so comfortably."

Shan Gui stretched lazily and rubbed his eyes. When he saw Lin Fan, he said happily, "Master..."

"Get up and eat. The food is getting cold." Lin Fan said with a smile.

The table was filled with dishes he had cooked himself.

I wouldn’t dare say it’s very rich, but at least it’s colorful, fragrant and delicious.

"It's time to eat." Shan Gui got up quickly, sat at the table, held the bowl, and picked up the dishes with a smile on his face.

Seeing Shan Gui enjoying his meal, he couldn't help but smile.

Recalling what happened last night, just as he thought, there were people in the mine, all of them were ragged, looked haggard, and in a miserable state. There were some misunderstandings at the beginning.

The miners mistook him for an evil spirit and hit him on the head with a shovel.

Fortunately, he knew some martial arts skills and was able to stop the enemy on the spot, explain his intentions and clear up the misunderstanding, otherwise something could have easily gone wrong.

If you think about it, you can understand it.

It's the middle of the night, and there's an evil spirit lurking in a place. Anyone would be extremely nervous.

This group of people were sent to the mine, where they mined all day long and never left. It was not that they did not want to leave, but that they could not leave. There were evil spirits in the mountains. Some people thought of escaping during the day. Even if they were lucky enough to avoid the evil spirits, they would be found by the militia in the town. At the very least, they would be beaten and sent back to the mine, and at worst, they would even lose their lives.

Therefore, gradually, no one dared to escape.

There was a lot of noise outside, with voices of urging, crying, and cursing.

Lin Fan put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up, opened the door, and saw a man with several young women standing outside the courtyard. The man had his back to the courtyard, pointing at the women and saying some harsh words, as if he was threatening them.

It worked a bit, the crying women didn't dare to cry anymore.

The man nodded with satisfaction, turned around, and saw Lin Fan standing at the door. He nodded as a greeting.

The man was the mayor's housekeeper, and he knew that Lin Fan was the Taoist priest who had recently arrived.

"Master, please open the door. I am the housekeeper of Mayor Zhang's family. I brought some girls here to propose marriage to Shan Gui." The housekeeper untied the rope of the small door of the courtyard by himself.

I was also cursing in my heart.

There is something wrong with Shan Gui.

Even such a small door has to be locked, as if there is something in the house worth stealing.

Matchmaking?

This was somewhat beyond Lin Fan's expectations.

Looking at those girls, they were all good-looking. He was not belittling Shan Gui, but Shan Gui looked silly and it was difficult for any girl to be attracted to him.

No matter whether it is modern or ancient.

Women all look at appearance.

Life-saving grace.

If you are ugly, you will be treated like a slave.

He is handsome and willing to marry me.

The housekeeper led the girls to the door. As Lin Fan was blocking the door, he could only tiptoe and shout towards the house, "Shan Gui, come out and see. The mayor feels sorry for you and can't bear to see you still single, so he specially found some girls for you to see."

"Come out."

Lin Fan didn't say anything, just watched silently.

Arranged marriage? This situation is very explosive no matter what era it is in.

Even the harmonious world before he traveled through time did not achieve this.

No rush.

Take a look first.

At this time, Shan Gui was holding a bowl and standing behind Lin Fan. Lin Fan moved aside. Shan Gui took a bite of rice and looked at the situation outside in confusion.

"What are you doing?"

The housekeeper said, "What are you doing? You can't tell. Our mayor wants to find you a wife. Silly boy, you are so lucky. Look at me. I am still single."

Shan Gui sniffed, "Then you choose. I don't want it."

"It's okay, Shan Gui, you choose first, and after you've made your choice, I'll choose."

"ah?"

Shan Gui's silly behavior made the housekeeper very unhappy.

But there's no way.

The person in front of you is the savior of the entire Yong'an Town.

Before resorting to tough measures, we must have a good talk.

"Shan Gui, go back to the house first." Lin Fan said.

"oh."

Shan Gui still listens to Lin Fan very much. Having lived in Yong'an Town for so many years, he has never cooked for him before, and he has never cooked such delicious meals for him before.

"Alas, alas... Shangui."

When the housekeeper saw Shan Gui coming into the room, he immediately became anxious, and then looked at Lin Fan with dissatisfaction in his eyes, "Master, I want to talk to Shan Gui about his life event, why do you have to stop me?"

Without figuring out the situation of the Taoist priest in front of him.

Naturally, he didn't dare to be arrogant.

"I would like to meet with your mayor. Is it possible?" Lin Fan said.

The butler narrowed his eyes and stared at Lin Fan.

To see our master?

To be honest, he wanted to laugh. Is our master someone that anyone can see if they want?

"Master, our master is very busy and has a lot of things to do. If you want to see our master, I'm afraid..."

Before the butler finished speaking.

Lin Fan raised his foot and stomped the ground hard, with a dull sound.

"Huh?" The housekeeper's eyes widened.

A hole was actually stomped out on the ground.

At least one finger deep.

"Are you taking me to see your master, or am I taking you?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.

At this moment, the butler only felt that he was threatened.

He understood what the other party meant.

If you choose the latter, you will probably get beaten up.

As the saying goes, a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him.

Continuing to be tough may not be seen by the mayor. The so-called loyalty is not loyalty if it is not seen.

The housekeeper rubbed his face and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that our Yong'an Town would welcome such a great man as the Taoist priest. Please follow me. Our mayor must be very eager to meet the Taoist priest."

"Thank you very much."

Lin Fan likes to communicate with reasonable people.

The butler waved his hand and asked the girls to leave. He now had to take the Taoist priest to see the mayor.

It's amazing.

He knew something big was going to happen next.

He has lived with the mayor for so many years and has already figured out his character very well. As for what will happen next?

Is this something that needs to be thought about?

On the way.

The butler looked at the Taoist priest furtively. There was nothing else, but the axe on the Taoist priest's waist always gave him a sense of danger. What was the red dot on it? A decorative color?

It should be.

It can't be blood.

Scare yourself.

Mansion.

Lin Fan discovered that the places where powerful people lived were very luxurious.

The former Mr. Huang of Huanglang Town, now Mayor Zhang of Yongan Town.

There were two gatekeepers at the door. When they saw the butler coming back, they immediately straightened their backs and held their heads high. Everyone knew that in this mansion, the butler was second only to the emperor.

"Master, please." The butler was very polite.

"Um."

Lin Fan nodded and walked into the mansion.

In the hall.

Mayor Zhang was sitting in the main seat, drinking tea and waiting. Just then a servant came to report that the housekeeper was coming to see him with a Taoist priest.

He knew that the Taoist priest was with Shan Gui.

Very confused.

Why did the butler bring this guy here? He was obviously asking him to arrange a woman for Shan Gui to breed.

But he has some skills to become the mayor of Yongan Town.

Soon, two figures appeared.

Mayor Zhang put down his teacup, stood up, and smiled, "Master, you have come from afar. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person."

Big smile, welcoming attitude.

If you didn't know that there was a problem here, you would really think that the mayor in front of you was a mayor who loved his people like his own children.

“Mayor, I am Xuan Dian from Chaotian Taoist Temple. I was passing by your town and happened to hear some news. I came to visit you. I hope I am not disturbing you.” Lin Fan smiled and opened the Eye of Merit.

The appearance of Mayor Zhang in front of him changed.

The mayor who originally had a white beard disappeared, and was replaced by a person who exuded an evil aura and had countless pairs of small hands on his body. Those small hands were very pale and were grabbing around randomly, as if they were grabbing something.

0.5.

Numbers pop up in my head.

I didn't expect that the mayor had such impressive strength.

The Eye of Merit dissipated.

"Hahaha, why do you say that, Taoist priest? Please, please take a seat." Mayor Zhang greeted warmly, and then glanced at the butler. The butler winked wildly, and the meaning was very clear, that this Taoist priest was a little difficult to deal with and had some tricks.

The mayor nodded silently.

The butler understood instantly, bowed and left.

at this time.

"I wonder if there is anything I can help you with?" Mayor Zhang asked, watching the other party put the axe at his waist on the coffee table.

Lin Fan said, "It's a bit uncomfortable to carry the axe on my back. It's not easy to do it."

"clear."

"To be honest with you, Mayor, I have been traveling around the world since I came down from the mountain, with the goal of slaying demons and eliminating evil. When I came to your town, I found that something was wrong here, so I wanted to ask you, Mayor."

"No? Taoist priest, why don't you tell me more about it."

The mayor looked puzzled.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

He didn't expect that this Taoist priest could actually find the problem.

It's not like he hadn't seen Taoist priests before, but they were all charlatans who pretended to be gods all day long but didn't have any real skills.

Lin Fan smiled, knowing that the mayor in front of him was pretending to be confused.

But it's okay.

When someone says something very bluntly.

Then it will be difficult to pretend to be confused.

"Evil."

Spit out two words.

The mayor, who was originally smiling, suddenly looked serious, "Evil spirit?"

"That's right. I am not very good at Taoism, but my perception is very strong. If it can escape my perception, it can only be an evil spirit."

The mayor said, "That's impossible. How could there be an evil spirit? If there was an evil spirit, how could our Yong'an Town be as peaceful as it is now? People who are afraid of death would have died out long ago."

"Mayor, mayor, you are not being honest. I told you my sincere words, but you hid them from me. Well, let me be frank. When I first met Shan Gui, I was shocked by his energy that was as bright as the sun. Such strong energy is like the scorching sun in the eyes of evil spirits. So you arranged for Shan Gui to be the night watchman in the town to prevent evil spirits from invading the town, right?"

Lin Fan looked at the mayor, and as he said this, the mayor's expression changed significantly.

As far as the mayor was concerned, he was really screwed.

I didn’t expect that this Taoist priest not only had two skills, but many skills.

Just two days.

Just look at these situations.

Before he could say anything, the Taoist priest spoke again.

"Last night, I went into the back mountain alone and found a mine there. There was a group of miners trapped inside. I guess the mayor wanted the mine." Lin Fan said.

Any exploitation is to benefit someone.

"Master, I..."

Lin Fan raised his hand to interrupt, "Mayor, let's tell the truth. I never like to tell lies."

The mayor looked at Lin Fan deeply, stood up, and without saying anything, turned around and walked to the back. Not long after, he came out with a wooden box, put it on the coffee table, and gestured for it to be opened.

Lin Fan opened the lid.

There was a golden flash, and a few gold bars were placed inside.

"Master, let's not talk about anything else. These gold bars are my gift to you. The affairs of Yong'an Town are our own affairs, so please don't bother you to worry about them."

The meaning is very clear.

Take these gold bars and go back to where they came from.

If I didn't see that you have some skills and didn't want to have a conflict with you, would this mayor have taken out the gold bars?

The mine in the back mountain belongs to him.

The mine was quite magical, containing gold, silver, copper and iron.

What is the most important thing in today's world? It must be weapons.

As long as you control the mine, wealth will come in continuously. Besides, even if outsiders find out, what can they do? Evil spirits are your natural protective umbrella.

At this time, the mayor saw Lin Fan staring at the gold bars, and the corners of his mouth curled up. A Taoist priest is a Taoist priest, even if he has some Taoist skills, he is still a Taoist priest, and he can't take his eyes off the gold bars.

He had already imagined the Taoist priest in front of him holding the box in his arms and fawning on him.

only……

Pah! Lin Fan stretched out a finger and casually closed the box, saying with a smile: "Zhang Town Mayor, these are just dirt in my eyes. If it was a stinky bald donkey who came, I might be tempted, but I won't."

"Um?"

Mayor Zhang frowned, feeling a little unhappy.

What does it mean? "Do you think it's too little, Taoist priest?"

He really didn't believe that there was no cat that didn't steal fish.

The so-called nobleness can only be said to be too little.

He didn't know whether the Taoist priest in front of him was worth the price, but the only thing he knew was that if he angered Mayor Zhang, the consequences would be very serious.

"It's not that it's too little, but I want to eliminate the evil spirits here at the source. From now on, your village will no longer be disturbed by evil spirits. Mayor, don't you think my suggestion is good?" Lin Fan said.

Bang! Mayor Zhang slammed the table angrily, stood up, and glared at him, "Stinky Taoist priest, don't be shameless. Take these gold bars and get out of Yong'an Town immediately, otherwise don't blame me for not letting you leave."

Bang! Lin Fan slammed the table, stood up, and said with a righteous face: "Mayor, I am killing demons and monsters, but you have repeatedly stopped me. It seems that you, the mayor, are in cahoots with the evil spirits. I wanted to talk to you in a friendly way, reason with you, and talk about justice, but unfortunately, you are really stubborn and unyielding."

After saying this, he opened the Eye of Merit.

In his eyes.

The mayor is a demon.

"Okay, okay, okay, you dare to come to Yong'an Town to cause trouble just because you have some skills, then don't leave me."

After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands.

In an instant, the butler rushed into the hall with many knifemen and surrounded Lin Fan. They stared at him with murderous eyes, ready to take action at any time.

Lin Fan looked at the situation around him with a calm expression.

Mayor Zhang said slowly: "You stinky Taoist priest, now you want to take the gold bars away, but it's too late."

"Okay, I'm waiting for you, this evil demon, to reveal your true face." Lin Fan picked up the axe, a fierce look in his eyes, "Today I will slay the demon and eliminate the evil."

After saying this, he waved his hand, and his magic power fluctuated, closing all the doors of the hall.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The knifemen were a little nervous.

"Come out, my soul."

In an instant.

The wind was cold and chilly.

Everyone who was originally fine suddenly shuddered.

A horrifying scene appeared.

I saw countless soul mists pouring out from behind the Taoist priest, and a gloomy atmosphere enveloped the scene.

"Ah... this."

The knifemen opened their mouths wide, wondering what they had never seen before.

Even the mayor was dumbfounded.

Could a Taoist priest really emit such a gloomy aura? With the blessing of his magic power, fragile soul mists flowed into the bodies of those knifemen. Those knifemen trembled all over, their eyes turned white, and they lost the humanity they should have.

"Dao Souls, kill him." Lin Fan gave an order, and the swordsmen controlled by the ghosts chopped towards the mayor.

At this time, the butler slumped on the ground, looking at the scene in front of him with a pale face.

What's going on?

Why are you killing me for no reason? If you want to kill someone, you should kill this stinky Taoist priest.

Mayor Zhang was a little confused. Who could have thought it would be like this? But the situation before him did not allow him to hesitate. Without thinking, he bit his finger, smeared the medicine on his palm, and slapped it.

One of the knifemen flew backwards, and his ghost flew out and merged back into Lin Fan's back.

"The level of these ghosts is too low. Without my magical power, they may not be able to possess me."

He watched silently.

It was just as he thought.

Mayor Zhang is quite experienced.

I don’t know how long.

All the knifemen fell to the ground, and all the ghosts returned. In contrast, Mayor Zhang was in a very miserable state, with wounds all over his body. It was obvious that he had reached his limit in order to deal with this group of knifemen.

Panting.

"You stinky Taoist priest, what kind of Taoist priest are you? You are just a demon who practices some evil magic." Mayor Zhang sneered, "You keep saying you want to slay demons and monsters, but I don't think you even know a real Taoist method."

"Bullshit." Lin Fan scolded, "You are talking nonsense. I encountered a mass grave when I went up the mountain last night. Nowadays, reincarnation is not clear, and there are countless wandering ghosts. I used myself as a container to contain hundreds of souls and nurtured them with Taoism. But you called it evil."

"Well, today I will let you, the evil demon, see the Buddhist art."

The words fell.

"Demon Summoning Fist."

"Wait, Taoist priest, let's continue chatting, don't..."

"It's too late."

Lin Fan clenched his fists, and the demon in his heart completely erupted. An aura more evil than that of a ghost burst out. The listless ghosts in his body felt this aura and became excited one by one.

The ghostly mist wrapped around his arm and swirled, condensing into his fist.

A punch was thrown.

Bang! The ghosts condensed into black mist, instantly covering the mayor.

"What kind of Taoist are you? What are you..." Mayor Zhang screamed in a shrill voice that made people tremble with fear.

Gradually.

The ghosts dispersed.

Mayor Zhang lying on the ground no longer looked the same as before. He looked dried up, as if there was not a trace of blood in his body.

"Yes, yes. It is your good fortune that you, a group of Taoist souls, follow me to slay demons and monsters."

He could feel the ghost growing stronger.

It seemed as if a ghost had transformed into a black shadow ghost.

This is fate.

The creation of ghosts.

However, the only thing I didn't expect was that the Buddhist "Demon Summoning Fist" could actually match the ghost.

The master is worthy of being a master.

The boxing technique created casually can actually have such an effect.

[Merit+0.5]

Lin Fan looked at the butler who was slumped on the ground.

The housekeeper was almost frightened to death by this look. He suddenly stood up, walked tremblingly to Lin Fan, and knelt down with a plop.

"Master Taoist..."
