Chapter 44: How dare you be so presumptuous with such unorthodox methods

"You are so bold."

"My master holds a ninth-rank official position in the imperial court, and you are planning a rebellion."

"Ouch, help."

"Kill him, kill him all, you scoundrel, you scoundrel."

The master was completely panicked.

Born as bandits, they were the ones who usually chopped others down. Now that they have changed their status and hold some official positions, who would have thought that they would be chopped down by others? This is simply against the will of heaven and is intolerable.

The group of officers and soldiers brought by the legal advisor were just wearing official uniforms, but they were still bandits in essence.

Faced with Lin Fan's sudden attack, they did not panic at all. They drew their swords and slashed at the opponent. But in an instant, something went wrong. The opponent did not lie down, but someone from their side.

"You are a bunch of sinners, demons and monsters in human skin, causing chaos in the world. Heaven cannot tolerate you. Behold the axe."

Lin Fan's eyes were sharp and his moves were decisive and ruthless. Every axe was deadly and every punch hit the top of his head.

Phew!

Snap!

Blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing all over the living room, and the broken limbs made it difficult to tell who was who.

"Ah! Ah! This! This!"

Wang Zhong had never seen such a scene before. He felt his heart explode and looked at the Taoist priest in horror. How could the Taoist priest, who was so gentle and friendly to him before, become so violent and cruel now?

An axe flash suddenly appeared in his eyes, and a huge human head was spinning in the air.

Is the Taoist treating my Wang residence as a slaughterhouse? "Don't panic, Master Wang." Fox Daji walked to the frightened Wang Zhong and said softly, "My Taoist hates evil and cannot tolerate these people who are more vicious than demons. They dared to come to ask for money today, and they will dare to occupy the Wang family tomorrow. The Wang family is a family of virtue. The Taoist wants to leave here and go to other places to kill demons and eliminate evil. I can only clear up all the subsequent troubles for Master Wang."

"But they are court officials." Wang Zhong said nervously.

Fox Daji shook her head and said, "That may not be the case. The smell of blood on them is very strong, and the sins they have committed are countless. I don't think they are really officials of the imperial court. It is very likely that they are bandits who kidnapped the former mayor, dressed in official uniforms, holding imperial edicts, and came here to impersonate him."

Wang Zhong looked at Fox Daji in shock, then looked at the Taoist priest who was about to finish the killing.

The Taoist priest, with his back to him, kicked a soldier to the ground. No matter how the soldier begged for mercy, the axe fell decisively on the soldier's head. The axe was so sharp and domineering that it fell from the forehead and split the head into two.

White and red.

Looks like brain flower.

"vomit!"

Wang Zhong held onto the handle of the chair and vomited violently. The smell of blood wafting through his nose irritated his fragile stomach.

Fox Daji shook her head.

Ordinary mortals are so fragile.

After a moment.

The quiet living room seemed very depressing.

Lin Fan, covered in blood, held an axe in his hand and stepped on the master's body. He looked down at the other party from a high position, "Who are you?"

At this moment, the master's face was pale, without a trace of blood.

He twisted his hard head, and the broken corpses around him were like raging waves, constantly impacting his seemingly strong but actually fragile heart.

"I, I am an official who came to Xinghua Town with the master to take office."

"No, no, I'm asking about your origins."

"I am just a mentor."

Phew!

Lin Fan grinned, shook his wrist, and the sharp axe was placed next to the opponent's ear, directly cutting off the ear.

The master was stunned for a moment, then covered his ears and wailed.

"Don't shout, don't shout." Lin Fan walked behind the master with the axe in hand, squatted down, and blew gently on the back of his neck. As the other party was frightened, he placed the axe across his throat and whispered, "Tell me, what was your identity before, Master?"

To the master, such a gentle voice was like the whisper of the abyss.

"I...I."

Nervous, very nervous, I could barely speak clearly.

Lin Fan patted the man's back gently, "It's okay, take a deep breath, exhale slowly, and tell me your master's previous identity."

"Bandits." The lawyer said in a crying voice.

He is very scared now.

If he could have the ability to turn back time, he would definitely let the master go first, and then he would pick up the bucket and run away, leaving Xinghua Town and returning to the mountains to continue being a bandit.

What's the point of being an official? It's your grandma's leg that's under your control.

"Okay, none of your identities are reliable. Bandits and mayors are all thinking about harming others. I used to be a Taoist priest, killing demons and monsters, and now I am a ranger, helping the weak and punishing the strong. Can't you learn from me?"

"Learn, I must learn."

"Okay, stop learning. Let me ask you, how did you become the mayor of Xinghua Town?" Lin Fan asked.

The master said in fear: "Our master spent three thousand taels to buy it. He said that being a bandit has no future. Being a master in Xinghua Town can make the whole town earn money for him... Please spare my life, hero."

"Don't be nervous. Where is your master now?"

"In the theater, he went to see Ma Quanyong."

"Thank you."

Phew!

The axe swung and cut the master's throat. With blood spurting out and unwillingness in his heart, the master fell to the ground with a bang and lay motionless on the ground.

It was expected to learn the truth.

It's just that the truth doesn't matter to him.

The appearance of all living beings under the eyes of merit has already shown whether the other party deserves to die or not.

He asked this just as a procedure.

"Master Wang, are you okay?" Lin Fan smiled, his bloody face looked a little hideous. Master Wang opened his mouth in shock. He obviously had a lot to say, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Fox Daji walked forward with a silk scarf and gently wiped the blood off his face.

"Master..."

Wang Zhong opened his mouth but was interrupted by Lin Fan.

"Master Wang, I am not a Taoist priest now. You can call me Lin Fan or Master Lin."

"ah?"

"No, everyone has a different identity and a different face. Xuan Dian was my name when I was a Taoist priest, and now I am a knight who helps the weak and fights against the strong and kills all the evil people in the world." Lin Fan was very satisfied with his dual identities.

The former cares about the people, and the latter upholds justice.

"Master Lin, what should we do now?" Wang Zhong asked, "No matter what, they are officials appointed by the imperial court. If the imperial court finds out, Xinghua Town will probably..."

"Haha, Master Wang, you're worrying too much." Lin Fan smiled.

"What do you think, Mr. Lin?"

"It's not a brilliant idea, but it's actually very simple. Even a group of mountain bandits can buy an official position to become the mayor. As a juren, Master Wang, can't you buy one by spending some money?"

After hearing this, Wang Zhong thought about it carefully and seemed to think it made sense.

A mere bandit could buy an official position and become the mayor. How could he, a dignified scholar, be worse off than these bandits after spending four or five thousand taels?

"But the position of the mayor of Xinghua Town has been bought, and I..." Wang Zhong was a little unconfident in himself.

Lin Fan said, "It's better if you buy it. Do you think the official who sold it to these bandits can remember who the buyer is and what he looks like? He will only remember the silver. After getting the imperial edict and changing your name, you will become Mayor Wang."

"Ah? Is it possible?" Wang Zhong was shocked by the Taoist's words.

But he knew that what the Taoist said made sense.

"Of course I can." Lin Fan said confidently.

"But what if we are discovered one day?" Wang Zhong felt that it was still a bit dangerous. If these bandits were old acquaintances of the officials who sold official positions, once they were discovered, the consequences would be very dangerous.

"It's okay, he won't know."

"Um?"

"I walked from the village to the town, and from the town to the county. Along the way, I never showed mercy to anyone who deserved to be killed. That so-called official even dared to sell his official position to bandits. How can he be a good official? When I pass by there, I will chop him up." Lin Fan said the cruelest words in the most relaxed tone.

Wang Zhong stared at the Taoist priest blankly, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

He seemed to understand the Taoist priest's lofty goals.

From the village to the town, from the town to the county, if we go to the imperial city, wouldn’t it be…

I dare not think about it.

I really can’t imagine it.

Lin Fan did not speak. He looked at the corpses around him and did not let the two women absorb their essence. Instead, he used his fingers to refine the Flesh Spirit Incense.

Strands of gray flesh spirit fragrance gathered together.

As his understanding of Taoism became deeper and deeper, his character gradually changed.

The difference between humans and demons? No, these are not humans, but demons, no different from those demons.

Why did Master Guiwu give the method of refining meat spirit incense to the master? Didn't he think that the method of refining meat spirit incense was an upright method? Even the high monks recognized it.

How could he, a beginner who had only studied Taoism for three years, be qualified to give instructions on the method of Flesh Spirit Fragrance?

"Theater, let's go, the Qingtian of Xinghua Town is here."

Lin Fan picked up the axe and walked outside.

The two women followed.

Only Wang Zhong and the housekeeper were left silently looking at the purgatory scene before them.

"housekeeper."

"master."

"Wash the floor."

…

theater.

All the people in the theater were driven out, and they stood outside the theater not knowing what was happening inside.

The chubby man turned out to be the newly appointed mayor of Xinghua Town.

For the people in the theater, it might not be a good idea to stay here for long.

There are no good officials nowadays. The money they have worked so hard to earn will definitely be taken away. Also, the girls in the theater will be afraid of death and cannot escape their clutches.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The best option is to escape from this place.

"Brother Ma, when will you be able to recover?" Town Mayor Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Ma Quanyong. They knew each other, but the other party was not a bandit from their mountain.

Looking back to the time when Ma Quanyong was intercepted by them, the other party was not afraid at all. Instead, they told them there was a way to make a fortune.

When he heard this, he found it quite funny.

Isn't it funny that a guy who looks like a scholar actually tells these bandits how to make a fortune?

But later, he found that what Ma Quanyong said made sense.

Yes, you can do it. You can give it a try.

Ma Quanyong said, "I was almost done, but something unexpected happened. I have no news of the concubine of the Wang family that I hooked up with, and I have not made any move, so I cannot pretend to be Wang Zhong. This time I have to ask Mayor Chen to help me get rid of Wang Zhong."

Mayor Chen heard this and laughed, "Why should we get rid of him now? I am already the mayor, it is not difficult to control him. I want all his property, and he will give it to me obediently."

"No, Mayor Chen, you think too simply. The Wang family has a very good reputation in Xinghua Town and is very beloved by the people. If you forcibly seize it, aren't you afraid that these townspeople will resist?"

"They dare?"

"Mayor Chen, whether you dare or not is one thing, but the only thing that is certain is that your reputation will be extremely bad. Since I can replace him, why not take the easier path?"

Ma Quanyong was not in a hurry at all and analyzed the interests involved for him.

Mayor Chen thought about it and it seemed to make sense.

"When the time comes and I replace Wang Zhong, won't the fame and fortune belong to Mayor Chen?" Ma Quanyong said in detail. He was eager to become Wang Zhong, but there was one thing he had never told anyone.

What he was asking for was the title of Wang Zhong Juren, and the merit of offering incense to the Wang family ancestral temple. These things are extremely difficult to obtain in today's world, even rare. Even if they are very rare nowadays, they are not easy to find.

This kind of merit cannot be gained simply by doing good deeds.

Instead, it requires perseverance and the accumulation of efforts of several generations.

He asked Qiu Wan to poison Wang Zhong, and the retribution should be hers. It's a pity that Qiu Wan can't be contacted. Now he asks Mayor Chen to kill Wang Zhong. Then the retribution will be given to the other party and it will have nothing to do with him.

By then, with his help, there would be no problem for me to become the mayor of this place.

"Okay, okay, okay." Mayor Chen was convinced by Ma Quanyong and said "Okay" three times in a row.

"What's good?"

Bang! The theater door was kicked open.

They both looked towards the door and saw a stranger walking in with a bloody axe.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads.

It means that it is not someone you know.

"How dare you! Who let you in? Someone, come here! Someone is trying to assassinate me. Come here..."

"Stop shouting. I killed all your men while you were talking. You are just a bandit who bought an official position with money and thinks you are an official. It's ridiculous."

Lin Fan strode in, looked at the two of them, and without saying much, threw the axe. The axe spun and hit Mayor Chen's head with a "whoosh". The axe blade sank into the head and he fell to the ground with a bang.

"ah?"

Ma Quanyong was shocked and stunned by this scene.

[Merit+0.1]

Lin Fan walked to the corpse of Mayor Chen, bent down, grasped the axe handle, and gently pulled it out. He smiled and said, "You are an opera singer, but you know a lot. You know a little bit of unorthodox methods, but you want to rob him of the good results that he has worked so hard for generations. You are really shameless."

"You know everything." Ma Quanyong was shocked.

"It's not that I know, but I heard it. Sometimes, don't just sit in the house and talk to yourself like you're afraid no one can hear you."

"you……"

Ma Quanyong pointed at Lin Fan and asked, "Who are you..."

Phew!

Cut off the opponent's fingers with an axe.

"Don't point fingers at me. I don't want to talk now. I just want to chop you up, damn..."

After saying this, he swung the axe and chopped towards Ma Quanyong.

Ma Quanyong dodged quickly, but he never expected that the other party would attack him without saying a word. Ouch, he was hit on the back, his clothes were torn, and his flesh was cracked. He endured the pain and walked around the table.

Lin Fan jumped onto the table, bent his knees, squatted down, opened his arms, turned his head, and smiled a teasing smile, "I'll see where you can run."

"You..." Ma Quanyong was frightened and his heart was beating fast.

Ouch!

He was hit by another axe.

The two women watched silently like spectators.

Mao Miaomiao said, "Sister, the Taoist priest looked so scary just now."

Fox Daji, "Don't, don't talk nonsense, the Taoist priest is very upright."

"Well, the good is going to be evil. Fortunately, we have a Taoist affinity, otherwise we would have been hacked to death by the Taoist priest."

At this time, no part of Ma Quanyong's body was intact.

His chest and back were already covered in tatters.

He looked left and right, then quickly ran to the statue of Huaguang Patriarch, picked it up and smashed it, then took out the black wooden doll with its legs crossed from his arms, bit his finger, and released the ghost baby inside.

In an instant, a ghost baby with black mist all over its body, bared its fangs and claws, and roared at Lin Fan.

"hehe."

Lin Fan laughed and leaned forward, roaring angrily like a tiger pouncing on its prey. In an instant, black air burst out and ghosts of various levels rushed out from his back.

At this moment, the brightly lit theater seemed to have turned into a ghost den, appearing so eerie and terrifying.

A sharp scream was heard.

The ghost baby was directly shattered by the lion's roar that contained ghost energy.

Ma Quanyong stared with his eyes wide open, retreating repeatedly, blood oozing from his eyes, nose and mouth, and his body stiffened as he fell to the ground, obviously frightened by the roar.

[Merit+0.5]

[Merit+0.3]

"Not worthy of reuse, not even as good as a ghost baby."

As the ghost returned to his back, Lin Fan, who was surrounded by ghost energy, gradually became normal and no longer as evil as before.

The blood essence on the clothes was absorbed by the ghost.

Gradually growing stronger.

"Congratulations, Taoist priest, you have eliminated another evil." Fox Daji hurriedly congratulated.

"Me too."

Lin Fan opened his arms, and the two sensible people hurried forward to help the Taoist priest put on his robe properly. Although the robe was wet, it did not affect the Taoist priest's greatness in their minds.

"Wulian Tianzun, how can a ghost baby from a side sect be a match for my soul?"

"Of course. The Taoist's Taoism is boundless and upright. It cannot be compared with the unconventional methods." Fox Daji said.

Cat Miaomiao looked at her elder sister eagerly.

"Me too."

Lin Fan smiled and asked, "What did you learn just now?"

Two women's heads popped up a lot?

What to learn?

Isn't it just that ghost energy suppresses ghost energy, and the Taoist priest wields an axe and starts killing people?

But obviously, this is not the right answer.

"I am a stupid believer, please enlighten me, Taoist priest."

"Me too."

Lin Fan pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Be a decent person and be a steady ghost."

"Thank you, Taoist priest. I have learned it."

"I have learned that, but what about being a demon?"

"Well, to be a demon you need to have a connection with the Tao. For example, you two have a very good connection with the Tao."
