Chapter 54 Taoist Priest, Great Lord of Heaven

"Master, are you okay?"

The two women walked up to him, their expressions full of awe; they didn't dare to smile or giggle when the Taoist priest was slaying demons.

“It’s okay.” Lin Fan waved his hands, his restless heart gradually calmed down, his Dao soul returned to his body, and the Dao cloud dissipated. He said calmly: “My realm is still not high.”

"How could that be? The Taoist priest's realm is unmatched. Any demons and evil spirits who encounter him will fall under his magic." Fox Daji said.

Lin Fan said, "No, that's the practice of Taoism. I'm talking about the state of mind, the heart of Taoism. I felt it was unpleasant to be scolded by this demon. I took off my Taoist robe and chopped him with an axe. This is not good, very bad."

Fox Daji and cat Miaomiao looked at each other.

"Master, is there anything we two sisters can do to help you?"

The Taoist priest said it too high-soundingly.

She didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go and chop off that so-called county magistrate."

Before leaving, he used his fingers to refine Wu Peng into Flesh Spirit Incense and performed the post-war collection technique, but he didn't find anything useful, not even an ordinary spell.

horrible.

It's really scary.

…

At this time, the people of Bashan County all knew that something big had happened.

There was a killer who was swaggering around the county town with an axe and killing people.

The officers and soldiers were chopped.

The tyrannical villain was chopped to pieces.

Sometimes when he passed by an inn or restaurant, he seemed to be filled with murderous intent and would kick the door open, rush in and start hacking without saying a word.

The scene was tragic.

It's nothing more than hell on earth.

Qin Mansion.

"Where are the people? I ask you, where are the people?"

The magistrate of Qin County was furious and asked the legal advisor to gather some vicious villains who were capable of fighting and killing. However, who would have thought that only the legal advisor came back? Moreover, looking at the legal advisor's condition, he looked as if he had seen a ghost. His face was pale and his whole body was shaking, as if he was frightened out of his wits.

"Master, there is no one here. Some are dead, some are running away. No one dares to come."

The lawyer reported truthfully that when he went outside to gather people, there was no one there. Even if he met some, they would run away. Even if he shouted that the county magistrate's reward would be increased from one thousand taels to two thousand taels, no one was willing to do so.

"What a bunch of rubbish! Luckily, I have Master Wu in charge."

County Magistrate Qin knew that Lin Fan was very powerful, but he still trusted Master Wu.

I feel that I can definitely defeat the opponent.

Master Wu is a practitioner with profound Taoism and unfathomable methods.

The master was also very relieved.

Master Wu is the stabilizing force in their hearts.

Sudden.

"They are coming in, sir. They are coming in."

The servants' panicked cries were heard in the distance, but there was no sign of them. It was obvious that the notification was the servants' last act of care for their master.

"How many people must be oppressed by such a magnificent mansion?"

Lin Fan, holding an axe and leading the two women into the gate of the Qin Mansion, always felt that officials and ordinary people in this world lived in two different worlds and could not be compared with each other at all.

The servants in the mansion hid and fled everywhere.

Under the observation of the Eye of Merit, Lin Fan did not make things difficult for them. They were just a group of pitiful people. They looked like they were servants in the county magistrate's house, but in fact, they probably had less self-respect than ordinary people.

Of course, the guard who was guarding the gate just now was chopped to death by him.

As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister’s gate refers to the guard who guards the gate.

In such troubled times, what is a county magistrate? He is a local emperor, and his family is managed by at least a third-rank official.

Even though he is a guard, he has great power.

Lin Fan stopped a fleeing servant, scaring him so much that he knelt down and begged for mercy, his face pale.

"Don't be afraid, I won't kill you. Can you tell me where your county magistrate is?" Lin Fan tried hard to make himself look gentler, and his smile was brighter.

But to be honest, it feels a bit forced after all.

He was covered in blood, and you could smell the blood from a long distance away.

"Go, go to Master Wu, it's right there." The servant said, pointing to the west.

"Thank you."

Lin Fan patted his shoulder and walked towards the west.

Servants are not allowed to enter the courtyard where Master Wu lives.

When the magistrate of Qin County and his lawyer arrived, they found the place extremely quiet and peaceful.

"Master Wu, Master Wu." County Master Qin urged, "The enemy is coming to kill us, Master Wu, please help."

No echo.

The master hurriedly said, "Master, I'll go knock on the door."

"Don't." County Master Qin stopped him and said, "Don't knock on the door. Master Wu didn't reply, so he must be casting a spell in the house. If we rush in rashly now, what if we affect Master Wu? Can you afford the responsibility?"

"Master is right, I am stupid." The lawyer thought about it and felt more and more that the master was right.

They walked to the steps at the door, and County Magistrate Qin sat down and waited quietly.

Only by being close to the witch master can you feel safe.

The lawyer said that the person causing trouble in Bashan County was a young man, who seemed to have come from nowhere, and he was absolutely crazy.

There were footsteps.

County Magistrate Qin and his legal advisor instantly became tense and stared at the entrance of the courtyard.

A figure appeared, the scarlet robe startled them, and the bloody axe made them swallow their saliva.

Lin Fan stopped and looked at the two people.

Under the gaze of the eye of merit.

It is clear at a glance who the county magistrate is.

Lin Fan walked towards the other party.

County Master Qin's heart couldn't help but beat fast. Even though he managed to keep his composure, he stood up and knocked on the door, "Master Wu, he's here, come out quickly."

"Master Wu..."

There was no echo in the house, which made County Magistrate Qin even more anxious.

“Stop shouting.” Lin Fan said, “The Master Wu you mentioned was hacked to death by me while escaping. Even if you shout until your throat is hoarse, there will be no one to stop you.”

The master said angrily: "Nonsense, who is Master Wu? He is a god. You think you can kill Master Wu? I think you are..."

As he was speaking, he heard the desperate roar of County Magistrate Qin who broke into the room and did not find Master Wu. He was so scared that he shut up immediately, and his confidence and fearlessness just now disappeared.

Plop! The master knelt decisively, prostrating himself with his forehead touching the ground and sticking his butt high.

Without saying a word.

Even breathing was done very cautiously.

County Magistrate Qin staggered out of the house, his face full of despair. The Master Wu, whom he had always trusted, was not in the house, and even the jar on the table was taken away.

He knew that it was Master Wu's most precious treasure.

The jar is not there.

This means that what the other party said was right and he did not lie to him. Master Wu really ran away and was killed.

The magistrate of Qin County, who was high-spirited and had the temperament of an official, became much more depressed. He glanced at the kneeling master, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "This master, can you become the city guardian of Bashan County? I am willing to..."

The words haven’t been finished yet.

An axe swirled towards them, glowing faintly.

With a puff.

The axe blade struck into his forehead, splitting his head many times.

County Magistrate Qin stared with his eyes wide open, his vision covered with blood. He slowly raised his hand, trying to touch the axe handle embedded in his head, but his consciousness became blurred and dissipated. With a loud bang, his body fell backwards and remained motionless.

The lawyer, with his forehead pressed against the ground, glanced at the fallen county magistrate and was so frightened that he became incontinent and his body shook even more violently.

Dead?

The county magistrate who had ruled Bashan County for twenty years just died like this? And he died so hastily? Lin Fan walked to the side of County Magistrate Qin, bent down and pulled out the axe, "You talk too much nonsense."

He slays demons and cleans up the world, and these are his three main goals.

Know the target.

Find your target.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Kill the target.

There is no need for too much nonsense, unless you meet those monks, then you can chat with them a word or two, but if the conversation does not go well, then naturally no words are enough.

At this time, Lin Fan set his gaze on his master.

"Who are you?" Lin Fan asked.

The master looked up in fear and said, "Grandpa, I am his master. I passed the imperial examination on my own and was then exiled to Bashan County. The Qin thief has committed many evil deeds, and I cannot stand it, but I am a small person and my words are insignificant. There is nothing I can do."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense to me." Lin Fan was quite familiar with the process of dying people begging for mercy. "Have you heard about the cause of the drought in Bashan County?"

"No." The master answered truthfully.

How could he dare to hide anything?

He was afraid that his answer would not satisfy the other party, so he never killed anyone with an axe.

Lin Fan thought about it and didn't rush to kill the other party. Now that all the masterminds behind this situation have been eliminated, the situation of the people near Bashan County has not improved.

Although the drought was caused by the drought spirit, even if the drought is eliminated, the situation will be difficult to change in a short time.

The people need food.

"Do you know that the people are short of food?" Lin Fan asked.

The master said, "I know, but it was all embezzled by this dog Qin. Lord Jiang from the imperial court sent us disaster relief grain, but he secretly swallowed it all, put it in the granary, and transported it to the grain store to sell it at a high price. I refused, but I dare not say it."

Lord Jiang? He had heard people in Jinyang County mention Lord Jiang.

Keep it in mind.

It seems that he is not the only one working hard in this world.

Thinking of this bad mood, I feel much happier.

"I want to open the granary to store grain. Do you have any objection?" Lin Fan asked.

The master immediately shouted, "God, I am willing to go through fire and water for you to save the victims. I am willing to lead the way to the granary, seal off the grain store, and deliver all the relief grain to every suffering victim."

The master was not killed because he was still useful.

The approach of killing without caring about the aftermath does not work in Bashan County.

The impact of the drought is too great.

Lin Fan waved at the two women and told them to leave the city and rush to the surrounding villages and towns to inform the people there to come to Bashan County to receive relief food and to get through this difficult time first.

He took his advisor to the granary, which was guarded by several soldiers and officers, as well as a minor official. The advisor was about to say that the county magistrate was hacked to death by this big magistrate, and that they should quickly open the granary, but Lin Fan interrupted him and directly said that the granary should be opened for disaster relief. However, what he got was threats from the minor official and soldiers with swords drawn.

In response, Lin Fan said nothing and picked up his axe to kill.

The master watched helplessly, his heart terrified to the extreme. The man next to him was truly a murderer. He would swing his axe and chop people if he disagreed with something. It was simply terrifying to the extreme.

The granary is full of grain, all of which was plundered and accumulated by the Qin County magistrate.

Wu Peng told him that a drought spirit was about to move around in this area and would cause a short drought. Upon learning this, the magistrate of Qin County immediately hoarded grain at low prices and did not sell it, waiting for the drought to come, when the farmland in the surrounding villages and towns would have no harvest and the people would have no food to eat. When the time came, he would sell it at a high price and firmly seize the little money in the hands of the cattle and horses.

He also took the initiative to ask the court for help. Of course, he did not ask the current emperor for help, but Lord Jiang. He knew that Lord Jiang would not sit idly by. Many local officials used this trick.

Lin Fan left two red-clothed ghosts to guard the granary and asked his master to take him to the grain store. The door of the grain store was empty. If it were there before, there would have been a long queue. Because of his killing spree in the county, the people had to hide at home and dared not come out.

He did not kill the grain store owners, but warned them that if they dared to sell at a high price, they would end up like Qin County Magistrate. The grain store owners were so scared that they dared not disobey and knelt down and swore to the sky to guarantee to sell to the people at a low price.

When passing by a medical clinic, the master took the initiative to report it.

"Dr. Chen from this clinic is in cahoots with Qin Gou. He uses wall plaster as anti-plague powder to cheat people out of their money, and he often kills people with his medicine, and even..."

Lin Fan raised his hand and did not continue talking to his master. Instead, he glanced at the tightly closed door, kicked it out, and walked into the dim clinic. After a shrill scream, there was no movement.

"Let's go."

Lin Fan walked out calmly holding a bloody axe.

The master swallowed his saliva, feeling extremely frightened.

…

People were chopped in the morning and the streets were cleared in the afternoon.

A closed teahouse.

"Open the door, Old Zhang. It's me, Erquan." A young man in a green butler's uniform knocked on the door.

There were many people staying in the teahouse.

They watched with their own eyes as a ruthless man with an axe hacked and killed people along the way, causing blood to flow like a river. There was not a single clean spot on the street. Even though no one saw the murderer now, no one dared to go out and could only stay in the teahouse shivering.

When there was a knock on the door.

To them, it sounded like a death-threatening sound. They were so scared that they covered their mouths and dared not breathe.

"It's me, Erquan, open the door quickly, good news."

The teahouse owner looked at everyone. Erquan was his wife's cousin, but cousin was cousin. If he opened the door, he would be a bastard. He continued to play dead. Everyone covered their mouths.

Dare not make any sound.

Outside the door, Erquan sighed helplessly when he saw that there was no response for a long time, "Alas, I clearly have good news to tell you, why don't you dare to open the door?"

He walked to the street, held his hands like trumpets, and shouted loudly.

"My fellow villagers, don't be afraid. County Magistrate Qin has been killed, and the evildoers in our county have been eliminated by Taoist Priest Xuandian of Chaotian Taoist Temple. The plague was caused by County Magistrate Qin, and Taoist Priest Xuandian has solved it for us."

"Also... the Taoist priest knows that we are experiencing a drought and that everyone has little surplus food at home. He will open the granary to give us food tomorrow."

"Dear fellow villagers..."

Erquan was in a very excited mood. He didn't feel like he was shouting at the top of his lungs, and he didn't feel his voice was tired at all. Instead, the more he shouted, the more excited he became.

He worked as a servant in the house of the magistrate of Qin County.

Who doesn't know who the Qin County Magistrate is?

But even if they knew, what could they do? No one dared to resist.

But now, the Taoist priest who they regarded as a murderer actually eliminated the evil for them.

To be honest, this is not a murderer.

He is simply the great judge in the world.

And there is more than one disseminator like Erquan.

As the news spread more and more widely, the people who were hiding in their homes in fear stared with their eyes wide open, feeling as if they were dreaming, and just wondered, is this true or false?

But now the news is being spread in a very clear and concise manner, and it doesn’t seem like a scam.

Gradually.

People gradually walked out of their homes, but they kept their heads down and their legs ready to escape back home at any time.

As long as the situation is not right.

Run immediately.
