Chapter 30: No need to talk nonsense when dealing with evil spirits

Lin Fan also enjoyed the happiness of being a master.

In the hall.

He sat in Mayor Zhang's seat, drinking tea, feeling quite satisfied. The tea was fragrant and tasted great. It turned out that those who could become masters knew how to enjoy themselves.

Mayor Zhang is quite knowledgeable.

But one must be able to master the art of martial arts, and he must be afraid of swords.

Even he didn't dare to let others chop him down.

Now that he has upgraded the Demon Subduing Fist into the Demon Summoning Fist, his body is indeed much stronger, but he is not yet invulnerable to swords and guns. As for whether he can achieve that in the future, that is a matter for the future.

"Butler." Lin Fan put down the teacup and spoke softly. Except for Mayor Zhang, everyone else should be safe and sound. Even if someone died, they must have been beaten to death by Mayor Zhang in the counterattack just now.

"Tao, Master Dao."

The butler's legs were trembling, and he lowered his head. He was very respectful and did not dare to do anything presumptuous.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I am not a man-eating tiger. Just tell me the truth and don't think too much about it."

The housekeeper nodded repeatedly, but he was thinking in his heart, you are more ferocious and more terrifying than a man-eating tiger.

The hall was very quiet.

Wanting to know the truth, he was waiting for the butler to speak, but who would have thought that after half a day, there was not even a word from the butler.

"Huh? You don't want to say it?" Lin Fan asked.

"ah?"

The housekeeper looked up suddenly and said hurriedly: "Master Daoist, you haven't asked yet, I don't know what to say."

Lin Fan was not in a hurry. "I want to know everything about Shan Gui. Just tell me everything you know. I will give you some time to organize the words in your mind. Don't exaggerate or leave anything out. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand, I understand." The butler nodded. Having been with the master for many years, he naturally knew what it was like to be a person with Taoist skills, especially the Taoist priest in front of him. You say he is a Taoist priest, but when he raises his hand, a ghost appears.

It’s a demon. It’s definitely a demon.

This kind of guy must not be provoked.

"Go ahead."

"Master Taoist, let me start from the beginning. There is a mountain behind Yong'an Town. There is a mine in the mountain. A long time ago, Zhang Huairen's grandfather Zhang Youshan started digging. At that time, everyone in the town could enjoy the benefits brought by the ore. But suddenly one day, an earth dragon turned over, and our Yong'an Town began to be in turmoil. People often died inexplicably. At the beginning, it was rumored that the disaster was brought by the earth dragon."

Lin Fan listened very carefully.

I thought evil had always been with Yong'an Town.

It turns out it started two generations ago.

Huairen, friendly, what a good name.

"What about Shan Gui?" Lin Fan asked.

"I'm not very clear about Shan Gui's situation, because Shan Gui is not the only one. As far as I know, during Zhang Youshan's time, the night watchman in Yong'an Town was called Shan Gui. No one knew where he came from. We only know that after he came, Yong'an Town rarely had any problems. The main thing was that Shan Gui had to be bred every 20 years. The girls for breeding were strictly selected by birth date. It was called four pillars with all Yang..."

Lin Fan knew what was meant by four pillars of all yang.

That is to say, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches are all yang.

This kind of woman's fate is unfavorable to her mother and her father.

"Then what?"

The housekeeper said, "Then the Zhang family are all beasts. They are afraid that the next generation will have a normal brain and don't want to stay in Yong'an Town, so they feed him medicine since he was young, which will damage his brain and keep him in their hands."

Bang! Hearing this, Lin Fan slammed the table angrily, "How can you be so vicious."

"Yes, he was very vicious. That's why the elder killed Zhang Huairen to eliminate evil and promote good, and completely saved the people of Yong'an Town."

The butler knows how to talk.

If you want to survive, you must follow the other party's wishes.

But when he met the Taoist priest's indifferent eyes.

I was so scared that I didn't dare to say more.

Lin Fan stood up, walked to the butler, and patted him on the shoulder gently, "Stay still and clean up the scene."

"Yes, yes."

The butler responded repeatedly.

As the Taoist priest left, the butler slumped to the ground and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was under a lot of pressure. Then he looked at the situation at the scene, the swordsmen who had fainted, and the mayor who had turned into a dried corpse.

There was no joy, only fear.

Taking advantage of the death of the mayor and the departure of the Taoist priest, fleeing Yong'an Town with the master's wealth? Forget it.

Not to mention whether they could leave Yong'an Town safely, even if they got outside, they would probably be robbed, or even lose their lives.

Back mountain.

Crunch!

Lin Fan crushed the dry branches and stood in front of a small hill. When he came here at night, under the surveillance of the Eye of Merit, he found that the source of the evil aura was here.

However, because it was night, the yin energy was extremely heavy and the aura was terrifyingly evil. In order to be on the safe side, they could only retreat tactically and wait until the sun was bright and the power of the sun was strong before coming to check.

He didn't know what was inside.

Without thinking too much, he placed his palm on the surface of the hill, and several ghosts rushed in. Then he used the ghosts' vision to check the situation inside.

Ghosts have no physical form, and passing through walls is their basic ability.

As the ghost continued to explore inside, Lin Fan's vision suddenly became wider. This was not just a small hill, it was clearly a place with a lot of secrets inside.

In that huge space, there is an ancient tomb.

The gate of the ancient tomb is more than ten meters high.

As several ghosts approached the gate, in an instant, it seemed as if some kind of breath swallowed up the ghosts, directly cutting off his connection with the ghosts.

Outside.

"The ghost is gone, as if it was swallowed up."

Lin Fan frowned in thought.

That's where the weirdness comes in.

However, this ancient tomb is covered by soil and rocks outside. If you want to look inside, you must blast a hole in it.

With his current strength, it would be useless even if he dug his hands into pieces.

"Evil spirit, just wait for me."

After saying that, he turned and left without any stopping.

…

In town.

The butler, who had not yet recovered from his shock, felt that God must have seen his evil deeds and deliberately sent people to torture him.

"Master Taoist, are you talking about black gunpowder?"

"Yes, there are some in town."

"Yes, yes."

The housekeeper nodded. Black gunpowder is needed to mine in the back mountain. This thing is extremely powerful. The explosion sound is like thunder. It can blast a big hole in a big mountain.

He scratched his head but couldn't figure out what was going on with the person who came up with this thing.

And now that he has developed it, why not keep it for himself? At the very least, he should recruit soldiers and horses, expand it and make it stronger, overthrow the current court, and become the emperor himself.

"Do you know what is covering Yong'an Town?" Lin Fan did not immediately ask the other party to bring black gunpowder with him to blow up the mountain.

"It's an evil thing."

"It's not an evil thing, but an evil spirit. I have investigated the situation near your Yong'an Town. There is an ancient tomb in the mountain. Everything started from there."

"Ancient...ancient tomb?"

The housekeeper was stunned.

He had lived in Yong'an Town for so long, but he had never heard of any ancient tombs here.

"That's right. If you want to completely cut off the source, you must blow up the ancient tomb and destroy the evil spirits inside. Go find some people, get more black gunpowder, and follow me to the back mountain."

Plop! The words had barely fallen.

The butler knelt in front of Lin Fan, his face full of fear, "Master Taoist, please be kind and let me go. The mountain behind is very dangerous. People can die even in broad daylight. Please be magnanimous and spare my life."

He was really scared.

Those who died tragically in the past really died inexplicably.

And his expression was terrified, as if he had seen something terrible before he died.

I don't even understand what death is.

How terrible it is.

Swish! At this moment, the butler's horrified expression froze. He turned his head slightly and glanced at the glowing axe blade.

"I like to reason and I am good at it. Now you have two choices. One is that you call some people to bring black gunpowder to go with me to slay demons and eliminate evil spirits. The second is that I will treat you as a demon and eliminate you." Lin Fan said softly.

It was such a gentle voice that made the butler feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar.

I feel cold all over.

The butler slowly stood up, his knees seemed to stiffen, he looked up, the horrified expression disappeared, raised his hand and gently pushed away the axe blade against his neck, and said firmly: "Master, I have not received any education, and I don't know what morality is, but now I am infected by your determination to slay demons and monsters.

I am willing to go through fire and water for you... Master."

Such a change is indeed unexpected, and he who knows the times is a hero.

Lin Fan grinned and silently retracted the axe.

He knew that it was not he who frightened the butler, but the Axe of Righteousness in his hand and the invisible aura of righteousness emanating from it that changed his heart.

He caressed the axe blade lovingly, as if he was caressing a beloved woman.

He silently put the axe behind his back and said, "Thank you for your help."

"Master Taoist, please wait for a moment. I will do it right away."

"Go ahead."

…

On the way up the mountain.

Five people formed a line.

Shan Gui walked in front. With his vigorous blood, he was able to ignore any evil spirits, and even the evil spirits did not dare to approach his body.

In the team, except for Lin Fan and Shan Gui, the other three people all looked very pale.

The housekeeper was threatened. He regretted his decision when he left the town and stepped into the mountain path. The other two townspeople were threatened and intimidated. Even if they didn't dare, it was useless.

It was very quiet around, without even the sound of birds.

It was so quiet that it felt like one was deaf.

"Don't be afraid, I'm behind you, watching you."

"Thank you, Taoist Priest."

Shan Gui, who was walking in front, held a wooden stick in his hand and swept it at the surrounding grass and trees like a swordsman. He was having a lot of fun and didn't feel nervous at all about encountering evil spirits.

The housekeeper and the two townspeople lowered their heads and said nothing.

In the past, if I went up the mountain alone, whether I could survive was another matter, but I would definitely feel the biting cold. But now, not only is that not the case, but I feel the sunshine is very warm.

Gradually, seeing that nothing had happened, they began to relax.

Not long after.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"We're here, right here." Lin Fan looked at the hill in front of him, then looked at the housekeeper, "Let them place the black gunpowder. Don't worry, Shan Gui is here. His blood is lethal to evil spirits, so he'll be fine."

Now that things have come to this, what else can they say?

You are a Taoist priest, so whatever you say goes.

It makes us seem like we can resist.

To Lin Fan, as a cultivator, he actually does not have the ability to move mountains and fill the sea. He is really useless. He still has a long way to go in his cultivation.

The two townspeople called by the housekeeper were both good at excavating mountains. They took a deep breath and began to bury the black gunpowder. However, when they got close to the hill, their hearts seemed to be pinched by something and they had an indescribable feeling of suffocation.

He turned around and looked at the butler pleadingly, but all he got was the butler's urging.

There was no choice but to go ahead with the arrangements.

It wasn't until Shangui became curious and squatted beside them that the suffocating feeling dissipated.

Lin Fan looked up at the sun, counting on his fingers as if calculating something. The butler beside him didn't dare to breathe until the Taoist priest finished calculating. Then he mustered up the courage to ask.

"Master Daoist, have you figured out anything?"

"Look at that cloud. I will calculate whether that cloud will cover the sun."

"cloud?"

The housekeeper looked in the direction pointed, a little confused. Why would he calculate whether the clouds would cover the sun? "Master, will it cover it?"

"Looking at the trajectory of the clouds, it shouldn't happen, but things are unpredictable, even I can't tell for sure."

“…”

While they were talking, the black powder was arranged and everyone retreated far away. Although the world was in a turbid state, there had been remarkable progress in the research and development of black powder.

Boom!

Black powder explosion.

The earth shook and thick smoke mixed with dust rose up, making the clear sky look much dimmer.

"That's pretty fierce."

Even from a long distance away, you can feel the vibration.

Human wisdom is indeed infinite.

As the smoke and dust dispersed, a dark and irregular pit appeared before the eyes, as if a dark abyss that had been sealed for a long time was completely opened, and a chill came over me.

"Master Taoist, I'm leaving first." The butler just wanted to run away, and turned around to leave without waiting for the Taoist's consent.

Snap!

A strong hand fell on his shoulder.

"Don't be anxious, let them go back first, I have something to tell you." Lin Fan said.

The two townspeople didn't think twice and ran down the mountain in panic.

At this moment, the housekeeper looked as if he had eaten shit, and he was even about to cry, "Master Taoist, please let me go."

"I will definitely let you go. When did I say I would not let you go? But I am afraid that when I go in to slay the demons and monsters, you will trip me up. If I use black gunpowder to blow up the cave entrance, I will be trapped inside."

"How is it possible? How could I do such a thing?"

The butler waved his hands repeatedly.

To be honest, he had this idea.

But thinking that Shan Gui would definitely go in with the Taoist priest, Yong'an Town would be dangerous without Shan Gui, he later gave up the idea.

Lin Fan smiled and stared at the other person, "In my eyes, there are no secrets."

Without giving the other person a chance to speak, he raised his hand and knocked him out.

As for whether he is dead or alive lying here.

It depends on the other party's luck.

I picked up two palm-sized pieces of black powder remaining on the ground. They were wrapped in cloth and had a fuse extending from them.

Pick up a torch.

"Shan Gui, follow me in."

Lin Fan needs Shangui's help. His blood is more vigorous than that of any cultivator and can restrain evil spirits.

If the time comes.

If Shan Gui loses a little blood, it will be a powerful weapon.

I entered and passed through the passage created by the bombing. I found that it was not dark inside. I looked up and saw countless densely packed holes above. The light came in through the holes.

If there is one biggest difference here, it is that the temperature here is very different from that outside.

Low temperature, very cold.

It's that kind of cold that's chilly.

Arriving at the gate of the ancient tomb and checking it out, he found that the gate opened inwards. An ordinary person would be helpless in facing this gate, but for him as a cultivator, he should be able to open it by circulating his magic power and relying on his strength.

Put down what you are holding.

He pressed his palms against the door, groaned, and began to circulate the magic power in his body.

Roaring in my heart.

Open it for the Taoist priest.

Shan Gui on the side stared with his eyes wide open, his mouth open, and clapped his hands, "Come on, come on..."

After a moment, the door remained motionless.

"Cough cough..." Lin Fan coughed softly, looked around, and found a protruding round ball on the side. He thought it should be a mechanism, reached out and pressed it, and the ball sank into the rock wall.

There was a loud rumbling sound.

The stone door lifted upward.

Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction and looked at Shan Gui. "Shan Gui, you have to remember that you should not rely on brute force when encountering anything. You need to observe the surrounding situation and find a reasonable method, understand?"

Shan Gui didn’t quite understand, but nodded anyway.

"oh."

As the stone door opened, he stood at the door and looked inside. The space inside was not large. There was a sarcophagus in the middle. The coffin lid had fallen to the ground, and wisps of black mist were drifting out of the sarcophagus.

"There's a coffin, there's a coffin." Shangui pointed inside and shouted.

"Don't be impatient." Lin Fan smiled and signaled Shan Gui to be quiet.

Then he picked up the black powder and torch on the ground, lit them, and without thinking, threw the black powder away while the fuse was burning.

The distance is not far and the throwing accuracy is okay.

The black powder fell steadily into the sarcophagus.

Lin Fan covered his ears and looked at Shan Gui. Shan Gui, who was still shouting, immediately understood and hurriedly covered his ears.

Boom!

An explosion sounded.

The stone chamber was filled with smoke. There was no wailing as imagined, nor any evil anger, only a strong smell of gunpowder floating in the air.

When the smoke cleared, the ground in the center of the stone chamber was smashed into black, and the sarcophagus had already shattered into pieces and blown to the side.

In the sight, there was a corpse wearing a general's armor, wrapped all over. Because it was lying down, the face could not be seen, but it was still intact in the explosion, which showed that this corpse was not simple.

Without thinking too much, he picked up the last gunpowder bag, lit it, and threw it accurately.

The gunpowder bag landed on the corpse's abdominal armor.

With a bang, there was a roar.

Lin Fan stared intently, watching with the eye of merit.

"The source of the evil aura."

The corpse was covered in dark mist that was burning like flames. It was an evil aura that could bring misfortune to the living.

What is more important is the value that emerges.

3.

This value is the same as his master.

It cannot be said that the other party's realm has reached the third level of Qi Refining. It can only be said that the other party's cultivation is definitely not like the weasel encountered before, which has only been around for more than a hundred years, but three hundred years, or even more.

A worthy match.

At this time, the source of the evil slowly rose up, without any roar or strange vision.

Lin Fan took a deep breath, took out the bamboo tube, released the golden centipede, lowered his head, and walked into the stone chamber. His eyes were filled with bloodshot light.

Without saying a word more.

Looked up suddenly.

Sneak attack!

The Bloody Evil Shocking Eyes opened fire at full power, and two red lights shot out, hitting the target's chest heavily. With a bang, the corpse flew backwards and collided violently with the wall.

There is no need to say too much nonsense when dealing with evil spirits.
