From the Valley of the Wicked to the Town of Demons

"They shouldn't be chasing after them."

The sky is bright, the sun is showing its brilliance, the night is slowly being dispelled, and a white belly is exposed in the east.

Everyone finally left Xishan and ran to the official road.

Looking back, Xishan was still pitch-black, and they felt terrified, but after panting for a long time, they felt relieved when they saw that there were no corpses chasing them.

Guo Ren stood up, counted the number of people, and found that there were only 17 people left, including four iron guards.

"Go back, it's not easy to explain to Si Li."

Guo Ren closed his eyes and sighed, the trip to the West Mountain had suffered too much, and when he returned to see Bai Ruyi, he really felt ashamed.

"I said you old man, why don't you explain the matter clearly, you will encounter so many dangers, you should explain the matter early, so that we can be prepared."

Guo Xiang ran to Taoist Jin Ling, pointed at his nose and asked sharply.

"I told you, originally I wanted to find Yinwei, but the emissary of your demon town did not agree, so I had to bring you along."

Taoist Jin Ling seemed to have a clear conscience, but Guo Xiang couldn't refute these words.

Li Chunyu's refusal to let the Yinwei and above leave the capital was issued to the whole company in the form of a formal order. Lin Xiaochuan and others knew that this had nothing to do with Taoist Jin Ling.

"I said man, you have benefited from this trip, we won't argue with you, but that's it, we can't go back and explain."

Guo Ren opened his mouth, and he bowed his hands to Taoist Jin Ling, which probably meant that you have to give us something, otherwise we will quit.

The Fish Scale Guard can be considered as a public official, so it is a bit like extorting bribes, but there is no way, they lost so many manpower, they ended up empty-handed, and it is really embarrassing to go back.

"Don't try to get old Daoist my idea, I don't get much, besides, I'm no better than you who eat imperial food, old Taoist, I come in the wind and go in the rain..."

Daoist Jin Ling is a rooster, or the kind made of iron. It is impossible for him to take out the things he puts in his pockets.

"Don't be a jerk, you bastard, talk about him from left to right. We are the fish-scale guards of the Great Wei, not your stinky Taoist priest's private soldiers. This trip to the West Mountain is not for you to use as a thug. Hurry up and hand over your things. Come out, we have to take it back to Sili, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless."

Lei Tiewei is not only tall, but also has a bad temper.This time his subordinates were completely lost, and he was in a rage, seeing Taoist Jin Ling's appearance, his seven orifices were filled with smoke, and he wished he could kill him with a single blow.

swish

The fish-scale guards drew out their steel knives one after another and pointed at Taoist Jin Ling, their eyes were on fire, wishing they could chop him up with their knives and then hurry up.

"Don't, let me think about it... How about this, let me give you a piece of news, enough for you to take it back to receive the reward, how about it."

Taoist Jin Ling saw that these fish-scale guards got angry, so he couldn't pretend to be innocent anymore. After thinking for a while, he decided to exchange a piece of information.

"what news?"

Guo Ren asked in a low voice, while Taoist Jin Ling looked at him, grinned, and said:

"Don't you think it's strange? Why do the corpses appear on the western mountain, and there are more monsters like snake demons.

Since the establishment of the capital in the Great Wei Dynasty, Xishan has always been peaceful, why is it suddenly so lively?

Pindao can tell you that this must be driven by someone behind the scenes, and the goal is not Xishan, but the capital. "

When the words fell, everyone was shocked. If it was true what Taoist Jin Ling said, this matter might not be trivial.

"Also ask the Taoist to make it clear."

Guo Ren cupped his hands, but Taoist Jin Ling smiled coldly and turned his head away.

"You dare to show your sword to the poor, you are not small, quickly bow your head and admit your mistake."

As soon as Taoist Jin Ling said this, everyone immediately became embarrassed. It turned out that Taoist Jin Ling was not only stingy, but also held grudges.

Not only does he hold grudges, but he also has a childish temper.

"Apologize to Daoist."

A bronze guard spoke, and the words were squeezed out between his teeth, full of humiliation.

"Apologize to Daoist."

"Apologize to Daoist."

……

The fish scale guards handed over their hands to make amends one after another, their expressions were so dark that water could drip out.

"Very good, very good, eh? Why don't you apologize to Pindao, is it because you look down on Pindao?"

Taoist Jin Ling nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly looked at Lin Xiaochuan, only to see this little copper guard leaning against a tree, completely ignoring him.

"I don't have a knife, how can I make amends for you?"

Seeing Taoist Jin Ling looking at him, Lin Xiaochuan patted his waist, only to see that it was empty, with no scabbard and no steel knife.

"By the way, I remembered that you are the one who uses the stick. Others can talk about it, but you can't do it without apologizing, and you have to kowtow to make amends."

Taoist Jin Ling immediately jumped, ran to Lin Xiaochuan, pointed at him and shouted.

"Why is this?"

Lin Xiaochuan was hungry and tired, he didn't want to talk to this smelly Taoist priest, and said with a look of disgust.

"Because you beat me with a stick, luckily Pindao hid quickly, or you would have died long ago."

Taoist Jin Ling looked vicious, but Lin Xiaochuan took out the spicy strips from his arms, chewed them, and said vaguely: "Who saw that I beat you?"

After hearing this, Taoist Jin Ling immediately turned his head, and found that many fish-scale guards turned their heads to one side, and Guo Xiang even ran to Xue Luyuan's side, clasped his shoulders and yelled loudly where to go for a drink.

"you……"

Daoist Jin Ling pointed at these fish-scale guards, and just about to continue playing petty temper, Guo Ren stepped over, lowered his head, and whispered, "Taoist, if you don't say anything, I'm afraid it's not only because we can't go back and explain, I'm afraid Si Li It won't be good for you in the future."

These words made Taoist Jin Ling bow his head and think.What Guo Ren said made sense. If the town demon boss was with him this time, let alone meeting in the future, even if the town monster played tricks on him, it would cause him a lot of trouble.

After all, I am just a widow, and the town demon secretary is the imperial government's yamen.

His arm couldn't twist his thigh, so he might have to bother Zhen Yaosi with something in the future, because it's not worthwhile to offend this big backer with such a trivial matter.

"That's all, I will use my means to find out who is behind it."

As if he had made a decision, Taoist Jin Ling waved his hand, then took out the copper bell, and with a slight shake, a monster with the head of a rat and a human body fell out of the bell.

Lin Xiaochuan and the others recognized this monster because it ran out of the Linglong Pagoda that day, but compared to that time, the monster's figure was smaller.

Putting away the brass bell, Taoist Jin Ling took out the Tianji plate from his arms, muttering something, and then saw the three small stones in the plate, and began to rotate slowly.

Holding the Tianji plate in one hand, and pressing the mouse monster's head with the other, Taoist Jin Ling seemed to have entered a strange state, with his eyes closed and sweat dripping from his forehead.

puff!
Daoist Jin Ling suddenly vomited a mouthful of old blood, and fell backwards. Then the rat demon also hugged his head and struggled, rolling on the ground. After a short while, his seven orifices bled and became silent.

"Daoist, Daoist, are you okay?"

Everyone hurriedly gathered around and helped Taoist Jin Ling up, seeing that Niubi's face was pale, with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were clear, and he seemed to be fine.

"I didn't expect that person to know the art of soul. The poor man made a mistake, he made a mistake."

Taoist Jin Ling shook his head, not like the kid messing around before, but rather serious.

"Taoist, what happened?"

Guo Ren asked, his face full of urgency.

"Through the technique of soul searching, I saw the person who entered the tomb to awaken the corpse, but that person also knew the technique of soul, and put a forbidden technique on the mountain mouse, which caused me to be backlashed by the technique."

Taoist Jin Ling said while looking at the dead rat demon, he couldn't help shaking his head, as if he felt sorry.

This mountain rat was the key to this visit to the tomb. Jin Ling became more comfortable with him the more he used it. It is a pity that he died like this now.

"The Taoist can see what that person looks like."

Guo Ren asked eagerly. He was not interested in a rat monster. He wanted to know who was behind such a big thing.

"The man is wrapped in black clothes and has a black mask on his face. He can't see clearly, but there is one thing that is very obvious."

Taoist Jin Ling seemed to be recalling, recalling some blurred images he saw just now.

"Which point is it?"

Lei Tiewei was also very anxious and opened his mouth to ask.

"Although the man's whole body was covered tightly, one hand was exposed, a hand with only four fingers and no blood."

As soon as Taoist Jin Ling finished speaking, Lin Xiaochuan couldn't help but tremble. He clearly remembered the fingerprints on the door of the big tomb—the fingerprints of four fingers.
