Chapter 61: There are many rules for the Wanmin Umbrella, but remember one thing: dare to fight and fight

It's late at night.

At the old lady's house, Lin Fan, who had just finished his training, fell asleep. The two women, who had just finished burying the corpse, were so tired that they revealed their true forms and huddled in a corner to sleep soundly.

The interior of the Wanmin Umbrella placed on the table is very active.

A space filled with a strong ghostly aura.

A group of wandering ghosts lined up in an orderly manner, and at the end of the line, there was a ghost in white sitting there with a table in front of him and a booklet on the table.

"Line up, one by one. Your place of origin and name must be registered." The ghost in white had a sinister voice that echoed in the ears of many ghosts. The ghosts in the queue were pale and looked around at a loss.

"Name, place of origin."

"Wang Tieniu is from Zhuangwang Town, Ningjun County."

"Okay, find a place there yourself. Next one." said the ghost in white.

The second person in the ranking was a child, half a person's height, and looked to be about seven or eight years old.

"Xiao Hu, from Ningjun County." The ghost of the child shrank his head, and was very timid about this place. If he hadn't been forcing himself to hold on, he would have burst into tears.

The white-robed ghost said, "Don't be afraid. This is the Umbrella of All People that the Taoist priest made for us. You are one of us when you come here. You will gather over there later. Other Taoist souls will explain the rules of our Umbrella of All People to you."

"Thank you, uncle." The ghost Xiaohu nodded.

"Next one."

The ghost Xiaohu finished registering and wandered around in the space alone. There was nothing around him except ghosts.

No house, no food, nothing.

Suddenly, the ghost tiger found a man in green clothes next to him, looking at him with a smile, which made the timid ghost tiger nervous and asked: "Uncle, is there something wrong?"

"What? Are you alone?" Qingshe Daohun's face looked like that of an ordinary person, the only difference was that he always exuded a cold aura.

"Um."

"Where are your parents?"

"I don't know. I looked for them for a long time but couldn't find them."

Qingshe Daohun touched the ghost Xiaohu's head and said softly, "It is your good fortune that you can join the Taoist Wanmin Umbrella. Under the Taoist's protection, we lonely ghosts don't need to be displaced. Just stay here from now on."

"Uncle, why are everyone wearing gray, red, and white clothes, but I seem to be wearing nothing, I can't see anything." The ghost Xiaohu doesn't understand anything. Even if he becomes a ghost, he is still an ignorant ghost.

When he was wandering around Zhuangwang Town, he was very scared. Whenever night fell, he would hide in the dark, cover his ears, and dare not make any noise.

Qingshe Daohun sat down cross-legged, motioning Xiaohu to sit down as well, "You see, the one wearing grey is the Grey Shadow Daohun, the one wearing red is the Red Daohun, the one wearing white is the White Daohun, and I, the one wearing green, am the Qingshe Daohun. There are only three Daohuns like you here, isn't that amazing?"

Xiao Hu opened his mouth in shock, "So powerful, when can I become a Qingshe Daohun like uncle?"

Qingshe Daohun smiled, "Okay, then uncle will tell you, we are all Daoist souls of the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest uses his righteous spirit to remove the resentment from us, allowing us to feel the changes brought about by the righteous spirit. From now on, we are no longer lonely ghosts, but Daoist souls. When the Taoist priest needs us to slay demons and monsters one day, we must rush out first. As long as we can grab the first bite, it will be fine."

When this Qingshe Daohun was explaining all this to Xiaohu.

Not far away, a Taoist soul in white stood in front of a group of ghosts, also speaking loudly.

"Hear it clearly, right? If you want to become the Taoist's main spirit, you must be brave and fight, and move forward courageously. As long as you rush to the front, you will be rewarded."

This Taoist soul in white is an old Taoist soul.

Step by step, from a ghost soul to a gray shadow Taoist soul, and finally to a white Taoist soul. If he had not taken a nap in the umbrella of all people during the day, slowing down his speed, he would have transformed into a green Taoist soul today, and he would have had a place there.

The ghosts who had just been taken into the Wanmin Umbrella listened with a confused look.

Qingshe Daohun touched Xiaohu's head and said, "Take your time. Don't be anxious. When the time comes, you will understand naturally."

Xiao Hu hummed, then pointed at the name floating in the space, "Uncle, whose name is Yu Haitao? Is that the Taoist priest's name?"

Qingshe Daohun said, "No, that's the name of an umbrella shop owner. He hopes to be able to join the Wanmin Umbrella after his death, so the Taoist priest asked him to leave his name on the Wanmin Umbrella. When he dies in the future, the Taoist priest can lead him into the Wanmin Umbrella."

"oh."

…

The next day.

"Auntie, sorry to bother you. I have to go now."

Lin Fan and the two girls prepared the necessities of life for the old lady, and left some silver for emergencies.

"Master, I really have to go." The old lady was very reluctant to let him go. It was really rare for her to live to this day and meet such a friendly Taoist priest. The old lady really hoped that the Taoist priest could stay for a while longer.

"Yes, it's time to go. I will come to visit you if I have the chance in the future." Lin Fan said. There are too many lonely elderly people like you in the world. This is his motivation to slay demons and eliminate evil and promote good.

But he came down the mountain too late.

If he could have traveled to this world earlier, practiced Taoism, and appeared here sooner, the old lady's son might not have died in vain.

The old lady said, "Well, I know that you still have a lot of things to do, I just hope you can have a safe journey and not suffer."

Lin Fan smiled and held the old lady's hands tightly. After being escorted out of the yard, he asked her to stay and there was no need to escort her any further.

"Auntie, let's go."

Wave goodbye and head in a new direction.

…

Ningjun County.

The county magistrate’s residence.

"Damn it, damn it." The county magistrate paced back and forth in the hall. What happened a few days ago was simply a torment for him. He stopped and pointed at the person who reported, "You chased for so long, and you told me that you didn't catch up, and then you ran back in shame?"

"Sir, we encountered evil spirits and many people died. If we hadn't run fast, we would all have died there." The man wanted to cry but had no tears. He was involved in all the bad things.

The county magistrate said angrily, "You tell me? I'm almost dead. Han Tianbao is the grandson of the Imperial Censor, and he died in Ningjun County. I tell you, no one can escape responsibility for this."

"Sir, the people who killed him are from Qingzhou Supervisory Office. Qingzhou should be held responsible for this matter," said the man.

The county magistrate waved his hand and was too lazy to say more. When Han Tianbao first came to Ningjun County, he was overjoyed and felt that the opportunity for advancement had come. Who could have imagined that this was not advancement at all, but simply a death sentence.

What he didn't expect was that the person who took action was actually from the Supervisory Department.

What do you think?

He just wanted to know what was going on in these guys' minds.

The county magistrate took a deep breath and said, "Qingzhou can't escape, but we can't escape either. We are facing one level after another. What do you think we should do? I will send someone to the imperial city to explain the matter to Qingzhou. I just hope there will be a chance for forgiveness."

Two days later.

"Ningjun County."

Lin Fan appeared at the city gate with the two women. Looking up at the city gate, there was nothing spectacular about it. It was just dilapidated. No one would think of repairing the city wall.

While he was sighing, the eyes of the two officers and soldiers patrolling the city gate lit up. Their gazes fell on the two women, and they immediately had evil thoughts. However, major events had happened in the county recently, and some things could not be done excessively.

Suddenly, one of the officers' eyes lit up and he thought of a solution.

He walked up to Lin Fan and said in a serious tone, "You look unfamiliar. I guess you are not from Ningjun County. Take out your pass."

A pass is like an ID card.

If the world is peaceful, anyone who wants to leave his hometown needs to go to the local government to apply for a travel permit before leaving. But the world is so chaotic now, who needs a travel permit? You can go wherever you want.

"No." Lin Fan said with a smile.

He knew that the soldier came here deliberately to cause trouble. If anyone from the surrounding civilians entering the city took out a pass, the most they would do would be to throw a copper coin into the bamboo basket.

There is paper stuck on the bamboo basket.

'Health fees'

The officer said angrily, "You don't have a pass, which means you are not sure where you came from. A murder occurred in Ningjun County today, and everyone entering the city needs to be checked. Now I suspect you are suspicious, and you must go to the government to verify your identity."

Another officer heard what his colleague said.

Suddenly happy.

Yes, why didn't I think of this method?

"Yes, you are indeed suspicious. We advise you not to resist, otherwise the knives in our hands will not have eyes."

Some burly men with knives around were watching the situation here with a gloating look.

They knew nothing about a pass or not. It was just because they saw the Taoist priest bringing two pretty girls with him and thought of trying something new, so they just made up an excuse. They were very familiar with this routine.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Cooperating with the government investigation is indeed what we common people should abide by. Please lead the way."

Such a straightforward answer surprised them.

Follow the process.

This Taoist priest would definitely take out some silver and say nice things in the hope of letting them go, but who could have thought that they would be so cooperative.

"Okay, you guys are sensible." The officers and soldiers said with satisfaction.

The two women looked at each other.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

It's over, you might really be finished.

The officers and soldiers were in front and behind, trapping Lin Fan and the others in the middle.

People on the street looked over here one after another, some expressed pity, thinking that the two girls were going to be humiliated.

Not long after, two officers brought them to the entrance of the dungeon.

"My two officials, the identification should not be done by going to..."

"Stop talking nonsense and go in." The soldier pushed Lin Fan violently on the back and scolded him impatiently.

Lin Fan smiled but didn't say much. Instead, he walked towards the dim dungeon. The dungeon was where serious criminals were held, but the dungeon here was just like the one in Jinyang County. There was not even a guard at the gate.

The two women were stunned. They thought to themselves, "You bad officers and soldiers, you actually pushed our Taoist priest like this? You will be in trouble later."

As we walked deeper into the dungeon.

Screams were heard.

"Tell me where you hid your family's silver. If you don't tell me, I will punish you severely."

"That's all. I've said everything that needs to be said."

A civilian with disheveled hair was hung on the rack and was being interrogated by soldiers holding whips.

"Why did your daughter seduce the young master of the Li family and poison the old master Li? Tell the truth quickly. Are you greedy for the Li family's property?"

"It's unfair. My daughter was forced by the young master of the Li family. She has already committed suicide. It was not my daughter who poisoned Mr. Li."

"You are still stubborn. There are witnesses and evidences. It seems that I have to punish you."

There were constant screams and the sound of whipping.

When Lin Fan walked in with the two women, the officers and soldiers who were carrying out the executions froze in their places, all their eyes fixed on the two women. Some of them were so stunned by their stunning looks that they dropped the instruments of torture in their hands without even noticing.

"Ahem." The escorting officer said, "These three people don't have a pass. I suspect they are related to the murder case a while ago. We need to interrogate them thoroughly. He and I will interrogate one each first. Don't worry, line up one by one. You will have your chance to show your skills."

The officers and soldiers in the dungeon laughed out loud.

"Okay, let's do this. I'm very good at interrogation, but don't mess up the interrogation. There are so many of us, so we have to do it all over again."

"Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter."

At this time, Lin Fan ignored their communication and walked towards the innocent person who was tied to the rack.

Desperate eyes, scarred body.

"Alas." Lin Fan sighed and turned to look at the officers and soldiers at the scene. "My dear donors, you have committed such evil deeds, aren't you afraid of retribution? In my opinion, they are all innocent people. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning after being tortured by you?"

He is really disappointed with the current government.

In the towns I passed by, I never met a good mayor who could speak for the people.

As for the counties, there is no need to mention them.

He slaughtered all the officials in Jinyang County from top to bottom, and it seemed that only one person was left alive.

"How dare you! Who told you to speak?" An officer was furious and kicked Lin Fan in the abdomen, but the kick was caught firmly.

"release."

Lin Fan pulled back, causing the officer to split his legs and scream in pain, "It's broken, it's broken."

Snap!

Landing in a split position.

The soldiers covered their thighs with their hands and grimaced in pain.

"I have been trying to reason with you, hoping that you would realize your mistakes, but I didn't expect that none of you would repent. It seems... That's it. I don't want to talk to you any more." Lin Fan shook his head in disappointment. "It's just like the Jinyang County back then. The government officials were in cahoots with each other and were in collusion with each other. I can't reason with them, so I can only communicate with them in pure Taoism."

The officers and soldiers who were about to hack Lin Fan in anger were suddenly startled and stopped their actions abruptly.

"What did you just say, Jin, Jinyang County?"

"Yes, I am talking about Jinyang County."

"There are over a hundred people in Jinyang County government. Did you kill them all?"

"I am responsible for my own actions. This is indeed what I did."

"ah?"

The officers and soldiers were frightened.

The incident in Jinyang County had spread a long time ago, causing panic among officials in various places. They wondered how it was possible for such a terrible person to exist, killing people like crazy.

Who would have thought that the murderer was this seemingly harmless Taoist priest.

"Master, it's a misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding, let's talk it out."

"It's too late. I gave you a chance. If I had been replaced by someone else, wouldn't these two pure and kind female demons have been ruined by you?"

"Ah? Banshees?" The officers and soldiers stared at the two women.

The cat Miaomiao opened her mouth, showing her sharp teeth, and meowed, "Yes."

The officers and soldiers retreated in fear, their faces pale. They had just wanted to defile the monster. At this moment, they looked at the two colleagues who had brought people over.

If looks could kill.

These two colleagues have no idea how many times they will die.

"Run, run quickly."

Looking at them running away, Lin Fan smiled.

Instead of letting the two women undress him, he cast a spell. The Umbrella of All People vibrated slightly, and several Taoist souls in white clothes swept over and pounced on the officers and soldiers amid their panic-stricken expressions.

The Taoist spirit in white pierced through the officer's body with his arm, grabbed the beating heart inside his body, and crushed it with a gentle squeeze. Then he sucked in a sudden force, and all of the opponent's energy was absorbed cleanly.

"Put them down, and also release those locked in the dungeon. I have something to ask them." Lin Fan had looked at the situation here, and found that there were no demons or evil spirits causing trouble. It was a man-made disaster.

Soon, the innocent civilians in the dungeon walked out, looking very uneasy. They didn't know what was going on, and when they saw the officers and soldiers who died in such a miserable way, they were terrified.

Lin Fan was sitting over there. Seeing the people were scared, he said in a gentle tone, "Don't be afraid, my dear donors. I'm from the Xuan Dian Temple of Chaotian Dao. I came down the mountain to slay demons and punish evildoers. I heard that the government here is dark and gloomy, so I came here to check it out. You might as well sit down and tell me about the situation there."

The tortured people looked at each other in bewilderment.

I don't know what to say. I feel like something is wrong.
