Yang Chang and Tang Yao fled back to Jinyang City in a sorry state.
They stayed at Fengyun Inn to rest.
"That despicable old man."
Yang Chang gritted his teeth; he had never suffered such humiliation since joining the Imperial Observatory.
Tang Yao's eyes were filled with awe. "Brother Yang, Longhu Temple is an entity we cannot afford to offend. We should turn a blind eye to it and there's no need to bother with them."
"Hehe, I'll make them pay the price. After dealing with the evil cultivators, I'll report this to the Imperial Observatory. They'll get what's coming to them then." Yang Chang smirked.
Tang Yao knew Yang Chang's vengeful nature, so she decided that after this mission, she would never team up with him again, otherwise she would get into big trouble sooner or later. "Let's adjust our state first, we still have to deal with the evil cultivators."
Yang Chang and Tang Yao took out the pills and consumed them.
They recovered their spiritual power at the inn.
...
In less than half a day.
The door god paintings at the Treasure Pavilion were all looted.
Many people were still crowding around the Treasure Pavilion, making it impossible to move. Lin Gan personally stepped forward to explain, "This batch of door god paintings has been sold out. Please come back tomorrow. If you can't wait, you can buy them at Longhu Temple, where the door god paintings only cost one coin each."
"One penny a piece, so cheap! Let's go to Longhu Temple to buy some."
"It's too far. I'll wait for Treasure Pavilion to get the goods."
"I'll also go to Longhu Temple to pray for blessings."
"Let's go, together."
Previously, few people in Jinyang City knew about Longhu Temple, but now everyone in the city is talking about it, and more and more people are planning to go to Longhu Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings.
Lin Gan approached Wu Qingliu and respectfully said, "Old Wu, the door god portraits at Longhu Temple are very popular. Could you please make a trip to Longhu Temple and bring back some more portraits?"
“No problem, I just promised my friend that I would buy a batch of white paper and yellow paper for him in Jinyang City.”
White paper is used to draw door gods.
The yellow paper was used to draw talismans for Ziyue.
Wu Qingliu took the supplies to Longhu Temple.
Longhu Temple.
People who came to offer incense and pray for blessings are still on their way.
Wu Qingliu told Qin Luo about the situation in Jinyang City, "Young friend, the door gods of Longhu Temple are very popular. All three hundred door god portraits have been snapped up."
"It seems that the Treasure Pavilion has a great influence."
"It's because the door gods of Longhu Temple are so effective."
Wu Qingliu had also heard the story of Miss Xie.
Qin Luo paints door gods very quickly, but that can't meet the market demand in Jinyang City. "I can only provide you with a maximum of five hundred more, but I don't think that will last long. I don't have that much time to paint door gods myself."
"Does the Treasure Pavilion sell a limited quantity each day?"
Qin Luo suddenly had a good idea: "The Treasure Pavilion can hire some painters to paint the door gods of the Dragon Tiger Temple. They can pay the Dragon Tiger Temple one coin for each painting."
"That's a good idea."
Wu Qingliu gave a thumbs up and solemnly said, "Young friend, rest assured, Treasure Pavilion will invite the best painters in the city to ensure that the door god portraits of Longhu Temple are reproduced."
"I believe in you."
Qin Luo's eyes were filled with a smile.
He could feel the sincerity of the Treasure Pavilion.
After Wu Qingliu left, people came to the Taoist temple to offer incense and pray for blessings. Ziyue recommended door god paintings to them.
"You can't buy a cheat with a penny, but you can buy peace and safety. The door gods of Longhu Temple are a guarantee of safety."
"One penny for one painting, two pennies for two paintings."
...
evening.
Jinyang City, Fengyun Inn.
Zhao Hu carried the sack into the room.
Yang Chang opened his eyes. "Let's go."
Tang Yao looked at the sack and frowned. "Using living people as bait is not a good idea."
Yang Chang didn't care. His expression was indifferent. "Yao Yao, you're being too soft-hearted. If we can't catch the evil cultivator, more people will suffer."
"that is."
Zhao Hu echoed this sentiment.
Tang Yao pouted, "Brother Yang, that senior from Longhu Temple told your fortune? It can't be true, can it?"
The room suddenly fell silent.
Yang Chang's face was very pale.
Zhao Hu asked curiously, "What happened?"
Yang Chang, his face dark, said forcefully, "Heh, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens. We cultivators all defy the heavens. After dealing with the evil cultivators, I'll deal with the Dragon Tiger Temple."
Tang Yao felt that Yang Chang was gradually going crazy.
The three left the inn.
They arrived at the Black Forest outside Jinyang City.
Zhang Hu dumped the girl from the sack onto the ground.
The girl, dressed in coarse cloth, was a slave girl bought by Zhang Hu. She had been knocked unconscious and was lying on the cold ground.
Tang Yao was very unhappy with their actions.
Yang Chang and his group hid in the trees, concealing their presence, waiting for the Yin Puppet to appear.
at night.
The Black Forest was pitch black.
A shadow puppet approached and dragged the girl away by the foot. The girl, who had been unconscious, was awakened and screamed upon seeing the shadow puppet, "Help!"
Tang Yao, who was in the tree, wanted to draw her sword, but Yang Chang stopped her, saying, "If you alert the enemy, we will fail at the last minute. As long as we follow Yin Kui, we can find the evil cultivator."
Tang Yao could only suppress her anger.
They followed the Yin Puppet stealthily.
The girl was dragged forward by the Yin puppet, her clothes were torn on the back, leaving long trails of blood on the ground.
The cries for help grew weaker and weaker.
The Yin puppet dragged the girl to the front of a hidden cave.
A sword light suddenly appeared, and Tang Yao drew her sword and attacked. With a sharp sword light, the Yin Puppet's head was severed, and it fell to the ground.
Damn it!
Yang Chang suddenly slapped the trees beside him.
His plan was to first determine if the evil cultivator was in the cave, and then devise a plan to launch a surprise attack. This would alert the enemy, and even if the evil cultivator was inside, they would inevitably face a fierce battle.
