Chapter 40 Girl, How Much Injustice Have You Suffered

"Master, what's wrong?"

Fox Daji was much more delicate than cat Miaomiao. She was drinking tea when she noticed that the Taoist priest suddenly looked into the distance solemnly. She didn't know what had happened.

Lin Fan said: "On the day of Jingzhe, these evil people have deep resentment. With the right time, right place and right people, they have condensed into living souls, absorbing the negative energy of the world and transforming into ghosts to continue to do evil. They are restless even after death. How can it be possible for them to do as they wish?"

Pah! He slapped the copper coin on the table, stood up and walked forward. This tea really quenched his thirst. Now that his thirst had been quenched, he naturally had to continue working. Although he was in charge of killing and not burying, he would definitely make sure their souls were settled.

If Master Guiwu were here, he would definitely take out a small shovel and bury the bodies of these guys.

Thinking about the master's demeanor, he is indeed very kind.

Otherwise, who would be willing to do such a thankless task?

It will take some time for a living soul to transform into a ghost soul, and Lin Fan is willing to give this time. After this group of evil people have completely transformed successfully, he will directly use the soul refining technique to absorb them into his body, and the black shadow ghost will devour them all.

All he had to do was to be a pure gray ghost.

…

Huang Tianjiao branch.

A little boy in yellow clothes was sweeping the house with a broom, and from time to time he looked at the oil lamps on the wall. These were not oil lamps, but the soul lamps of the people inside the Huangtian Sect.

Anyone who has the ability to cultivate and condense magical power can be at the table.

He also wanted to be at the table, especially the most conspicuous soul lamp.

The elder of Huangtian Sect, Master Dapanxuan.

Sudden.

With a snap, the soul lamp shattered. The boy sweeping the floor looked at it in shock, then threw down the broom and ran out like mad.

"Something happened. Something serious happened."

…

It's getting dark.

Inn.

The inn was very quiet. There was a table placed with various delicacies. Lin Fan was the only one tasting these delicacies. Two women were serving him. Fox Daji was massaging his shoulders, and Cat Miaomiao was squatting on the table and washing his feet.

After chopping all day, my back and waist are sore and my eyes are dry.

Proper relaxation is necessary.

The shopkeeper, the waiter, and the chef were waiting cautiously by the side. Although there was a cool breeze at night, beads of sweat were already pouring out of their foreheads.

Is that the Taoist priest in front of me? No, it is clearly the terrifying God of Death.

Jinyang County during the day was like a living hell. The smell of blood filled the air and rose to the sky. Even if one stayed indoors and closed the doors and windows, one could not block the invading smell of blood.

Who is the most nervous person right now? It must be the chef.

Because the Taoist priest was eating the food he cooked.

The Taoist priest who had returned from a killing spree went back to the inn to take a shower, and then asked the waiter to prepare some food. If it were before, the waiter would naturally bring a bowl of beef noodles, but after the incident of sweeping across Jinyang County.

The waiter felt that a bowl of beef noodles was not enough to satisfy the Taoist priest.

Immediately drag the shopkeeper and the chef into the water.

The waiter knew that once the Taoist priest left, there might be no place for him to stay in the inn, but the most important thing now was to serve the Taoist priest well and save his life.

"Um?"

After taking a bite of the dish, Lin Fan frowned slightly.

Plop! The frightened chef, with cold hands and feet, knelt on the ground without a second thought when he saw the Taoist frown.

"Master, please spare my life."

It must be that the food is not to the Taoist's liking. He will pick up his axe and start killing people and chop off his dog's head.

Plop! The shopkeeper also knelt on his knees, kneeling very decisively.

Plop! The waiter followed closely behind, his head pressed to the ground, not even daring to lift it up.

"What are you doing?" Lin Fan was puzzled. Something was not right since he returned to the inn. "Do you think I am a man-eating tiger?"

The shopkeeper and the chef looked at each other. They had never been to school and didn't know what to say for a moment. They knew some words, but in the current situation, they couldn't utter a single word.

The waiter was terrified and said, "How could the Taoist priest be a man-eating tiger? The Taoist priest has an immortal bearing, profound Taoist skills, and he exorcises demons and enforces justice on behalf of heaven. He is the blue sky in the hearts of us ordinary people."

The shopkeeper and the chef looked at the waiter with gratitude.

As expected of a waiter.

He can speak eloquently under such tremendous pressure. He is a genius.

Lin Fan smiled, and was quite pleased with his words. "Since I am the Lord in your eyes, why should I kneel?"

"Because... because." The waiter's eyes turned slyly, "Because the Taoist priest has helped us eradicate the cancer and scourge of Jinyang County. We are grateful to the Taoist priest, so we kneel down."

"Yes, yes." X2 "It's okay, get up, they are all trivial matters. It is our duty as cultivators to act on behalf of heaven. The dish is quite good, I am very satisfied. The chef level of your inn is quite high." Lin Fan said with a smile.

"As long as the Taoist priest is satisfied, this chef was hired by our shopkeeper at a high price. In order to prepare this meal for the Taoist priest, our chef bathed and changed his clothes, just like a pilgrimage."

The waiter didn't care whether there was any problem with what he said.

Anyway, it's just praising and flattering.

Lin Fan glanced at the waiter. If one wanted to survive in today's world, one had to have some eloquence.

"Well, you are all people who have a hard time living in this world. Jinyang County will be peaceful for a while in the future. Don't be afraid. I am always friendly and will not hurt you."

Lin Fan gently touched his abdomen and felt about 70% full. He motioned to Cat Miaomiao to wipe her feet, then stood up and walked towards the side room.

After he left, the three kneeling men collapsed on the ground powerlessly, wiping their sweat. They were alive, finally alive. Although they had not done any intense exercise, they were already sweating profusely.

Wing room.

Lin Fan opened the window. The moon was bright and the street was quiet. The air was still filled with the smell of blood. There were many people walking on the street last night, but now there was not even a ghost.

Sure enough, after that group of evil people were eliminated, Jinyang County became safe at night.

There is nothing wrong with what you did.

He might be terrible in the eyes of other people, but he knew that his sins were committed today, but his merits would last for thousands of years. In the future, if any evil person wanted to do evil in Jinyang County, he would have to think about the scene of blood filling the entire county that day.

I returned to the bed and sat cross-legged, ready to organize today's harvest.

As for the two women, they transformed into their original forms and each found a corner to lie down.

After looking at the merits, Master Dapan gave 2.5, plus those given by the evil people, the total amount accumulated was 4.3.

Not a lot, but overall, it's pretty good.

Those guys can be called bad guys only because they are cruel and ruthless. They rely on the weapons in their hands to kill others at will. But if you really want to talk about whether they have strength, you can only say that they are slightly stronger physically, but they don't have any real skills.

The Bloody Evil Shocking Eyes has been completely completed.

To be promoted again, four points of merit are required.

To be honest, it's a bit heartbreaking.

But the power of the Bloody Evil and Shocking Eyes is obvious to all. From the Bloody Eyes Technique to the present, it has been verified with real objects.

What is uncertain now is whether to use the merits to upgrade the Bloody Evil Soul-Shocking Eyes or the Demon Summoning Fist.

The Demon Summoning Fist is an upgrade from the Demon Subduing Fist and is of great help to the strength of the physical body. Even though he has reached the third level of Qi Refining and has good magic power, it is of little help to the physical body.

Only this Demon Summoning Fist is really willing to give feedback.

"It's annoying, it's annoying. After all, I'm too poor, so I always have to make choices."

The body is the capital for slaying demons and eliminating evil.

Didn't think much about it.

First, complete the Demon Summoning Fist to perfection. This one pull will consume 1.3 merits.

Look at the remaining three points of merit.

He didn't use it, but instead accumulated it to four points and promoted the spell.

He took out the Flesh Spirit Incense refined by Master Dapan Xuan, lit it, practiced the method of Eating Qi to Replenish the Heart, and began to cultivate.

Wisps of fragrant mist float up and blend into the body through the nose.

“This smell is so familiar.”

It was just as he thought.

The meat spirit incense that the master gave me was made from human essence, energy, blood and spirit.

He finally understood why his master gave him less and less flesh incense. It was not because his master did not want to give it to him, but because his master seldom left the Taoist temple, so where would he go to find those evil people? As a result, after his master gradually fell into the evil way, the evil people became his own kind in his eyes.

Naturally, there is no fragrance of flesh and soul.

The magic power in the body is slowly growing.

Judging from the current situation, it shouldn't be too far for him to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining. After all, he is truly a genius in cultivation.

The next day, early morning.

Jinyang County was still very quiet. For the first time ever, no one was taking to the streets. It seemed as if everyone was hiding at home.

Lin Fan got up and wanted to ask the waiter to prepare a bowl of beef noodles, but who would have thought that the waiter was gone, and the shopkeeper and the chef were also gone.

This means he ran away overnight.

"Let's go."

Lin Fan took the two girls and left Jinyang County. As they walked through the streets, people in every household were observing the situation outside through the cracks in the windows.

When they saw Lin Fan, they all stopped breathing and dared not make the slightest sound.

The county magistrate died tragically, the young master died tragically, the constable died tragically, and a group of knife-wielding villains died even more tragically.

A few days later.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

A group of imperial officials riding on fine horses entered Jinyang County.

The Qingzhou government has learned about the tragic deaths of all officials from top to bottom, and has sent people to investigate. This kind of thing is a big deal, not a small matter.

As this group of people entered Jinyang County, the people who dared to come out stepped aside.

The man in the lead had sharp eyes and kept sniffing. Although the scene had been cleaned up, the bloodstains on the ground and the lingering smell of blood were still very noticeable to him.

"Go and ask what's going on."

"Yes, sir."

Not long after, the person who went to inquire about the situation came back with the three people from the inn.

"This is our Qingzhou Supervisory Department, Mr. Li. You must tell us what you know. If you conceal anything, you will bear the consequences yourself."

"I dare not hide it. I dare not hide it."

The shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly and then told everything he knew.

"Taoist priest? Carrying an axe and followed by two women?" Li Baishan frowned slightly when he heard this. He didn't expect that the person who committed such a bloody crime was actually a Taoist priest, and it seemed that he really possessed magical powers, otherwise it would be impossible for a mortal body to cause such a situation.

As for the Chaotian Taoist Temple that the other party mentioned, he had never heard of it.

There are countless Taoist temples in the world.

It is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Without thinking much, he took his men to Huang's Mansion. When they arrived at Huang's Mansion, Li Baishan dismounted and pushed the door open. He saw the small temple that had been kicked down at a glance. He was able to work in the Supervisory Office, which showed that he had some experience.

I have some thoughts in my mind.

Then he saw the dried-up body of Master Dapan Xuan. Although he didn't know whose body it was, the clothes on his body were very conspicuous.

"Huang Tian Cult."

The Huangtian Sect is an open sect with many disciples, and those who can wear yellow clothes have status in the sect.

Soon, he looked around the Huang Mansion.

He didn't want to get involved in the fact that all the property had been taken away, but a lot of people did die.

Li Baishan walked to Huang Hong's body. Although he had been dead for some time, the blood was still very sticky. He stained his finger with blood, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, then licked it and spat it out.

"The yin is extremely strong, and I am practicing the method of collecting yin."

"Master is from the Huangtian Sect, so it is normal for him to practice this kind of method."

Li Baishan did not have the slightest resentment towards the Taoist priest who had committed such a murder. He just felt that this was a provocation to the imperial court's majesty. He understood the current state of the world better than anyone else.

But what could he do? Nothing.

He could only handle the things that happened to him, and sometimes he couldn't even handle them well. After all, he was just a small sixth-rank official.

"Brother Li." A surprised voice came.

Li Baishan looked back and unexpectedly met an acquaintance, "Brother Xiang, why are you here?"

The person who came was Xiang Yixing, a constable who took the initiative to stop being a constable.

"I came here from Changsheng Village with my apprentice, and I found your men as soon as I arrived in Jinyang County. What's going on?" Xiang Yixing was a little confused and didn't know what was going on.

In his opinion, Brother Li is a very busy man with great martial arts skills, who often deals with very difficult matters. He knows Brother Li and they have worked together before.

Then, he finally discovered the bodies that had been dead for many days, and his face changed drastically.

"Who did this? Why did they kill so many people? Could it be that some fierce demon has started to commit murder again?"

"It was done by a Taoist priest."

"Taoist priest?"

"Yes, he was carrying an axe and claimed to be a Taoist priest from Chaotian Taoist Temple."

"ah?"

"Why? Brother Xiang knows something?"

Li Baishan noticed the shock in Xiang Yixing's eyes and obviously knew something.

"To be honest with you, Brother Li, if I'm not mistaken, I have seen this Taoist priest. He indeed claimed to be from Chaotian Taoist Temple and his Taoist name was Xuan Dian. Except for two people who survived, all the other people in Changsheng Village were killed by him." Xiang Yixing said.

"I didn't expect such a demon to appear in the world." Li Baishan was horrified.

Unexpectedly, Jinyang County is not the first case.

"Brother Li, you can't say that for now. I have had contact with that Taoist priest. He is a bit cruel, but he is definitely not the kind of person who kills innocent people. The Taoist priest told me that he went down the mountain to slay demons and kill all the evil people in the world to restore order to the world. I think those killed by the Taoist priest deserved to die." Xiang Yixing said.

He had already heard from the butcher about the affairs of Changsheng Village.

I can only say...if it were him, he might also do something like this.

It's too much of a shame.

Li Baishan looked at him. He knew Xiang Yi's behavior.

"Whether he should be executed or not, killing an official appointed by the imperial court will put the imperial court in a bad light."

"Brother Li, let me say something extremely treasonous. What face does the court need nowadays? The emperor doesn't care about worldly affairs, and all the officials are corrupt. They indulge in wine and women, and their life is not in order. They sell official positions and titles, and catch thieves and steal the stolen goods. The people are living in misery. The face has long been gone."

"...Be careful with your words."

"Why be cautious, Brother Li? You are too loyal. Why don't you resign with me and become a wandering knight like that Taoist Xuan Dian, slaying demons and monsters, helping the weak and punishing the strong? Wouldn't that be fun?"

“…”

Li Baishan looked at Xiang Yixing and didn't expect that after several years of separation, Brother Xiang had changed so much.

As for dismissal from office?

He wanted to say to Xiang Yixing...Brother, I, Brother Li, have a family, six children to feed, what can I eat and drink if I follow you as a knight-errant? Will the whole family have to starve? If he didn't have a family, he would be easily persuaded by Brother Xiang, and it would be better not to stay in this corrupt and disappointing temple.

Unfortunately...reality is cruel.

…

"Master, the scenery here is so beautiful."

Along the way, the two girls chattered, which made Lin Fan feel less lonely traveling alone.

"That's right. When I have finished my journey through this world, I will find a better place to build a Taoist temple."

Lin Fan began to fantasize about the future. To be honest, he still liked the life in Chaotian Taoist Temple. It was quiet, comfortable and warm. If his master had not joined the evil path and he had not been burdened with his master's expectations, he really didn't want to go down the mountain.

"Plop!" A dull sound of entering the water was heard.

"Let's go, it looks like something fell into the water."

Lin Fan quickened his pace towards the source of the sound, and soon discovered that ripples were rippling on the surface of the lake, and a blurry figure was gradually falling into the lake.

Without thinking, he dived in.

"Girl, what's wrong with you that you want to jump into the river and hang yourself?" Lin Fan dragged the girl to the shore and asked softly.

"Wow..." The woman kept crying and did not answer.

"Girl, how much injustice have you suffered to make you so depressed?"

“Woo woo…”

She cried even harder.

"Girl, I am good at resolving grievances from the root, so why not talk to me?"

Lin Fan asked patiently, how could a healthy young girl seek death?

This is naturally problematic.
