What kind of evil method is this? This is the righteous method..

Chapter 68: Fellow Daoist, could it be that you are the reincarnation of the Grandmaster of Subduing Demons?

【merit +3.1】

"Wulian Tianzun, I have to admire you. You almost broke my heart when I was about to die."

The journey of slaying demons and eliminating evil was not easy. It was not because the battle was difficult, but whether he had the Eye of Merit open or not, the visual impact of the demons on him was like a sharp blade, repeatedly hitting his heart of Taoism.
Fortunately, I can keep it stable.

He pinched his fingers lightly and used a secret method to condense the flesh spirit fragrance.

The essence, blood, and spirit of the three corpses swirled out of their bodies like smoke, and finally condensed into three red incense sticks, landing in his palm.

"A demon with great skills."

Ordinary flesh spirit incense cannot meet his needs for cultivation. Flesh spirit incense that contains Taoism is the most effective.

The bone flute that slipped from the palm of Yinsha Protector caught his attention. He picked up the bone flute and felt the resentment coming from the cool air.

"It is made from human bones. It is made using an evil method."

As an authentic Taoist, how could he tolerate these evil instruments? He held them in his hand and used his magic power. With a click, the bone flute turned into powder in his palm. He would not use it, nor would he leave it to others.

If it were obtained by someone with bad intentions, who knows how much trouble it would cause.

Leaving the living room, Lin Fan walked towards the backyard, following the aura that was difficult to conceal, tracking it in twists and turns, and soon came to a courtyard emitting bursts of evil energy.

The doors of the houses in the courtyard were closed, the windows were sealed, and the outer walls were painted with talismans that even he could not understand. The moment he pushed open the door, an evil wind blew in his face, and he saw soul jars all over the ground.

The dry-skinned corpse hanging on the roof seemed to sense the danger, and a strange light appeared in its empty eye sockets.

"Monster, how outrageous."

Lin Fan didn't even think about it, his Netherworld Soul-Capture Eyes exploded, directly blasting the dried-skinned corpse to pieces. There were no merit points. This dried-skinned corpse was refined by the Huangtian Sect. It absorbed the resentment of the souls in the soul jar and gradually grew stronger over time.

But it hasn't become a trend yet, so it's not worth mentioning.

His eyes fell on the soul jars arranged on the ground. They were filled with the two souls and five spirits of the female puppet. They could not be condensed into ghosts, and even the living souls were incomplete.

Sigh, pity.

"Damn Huangtian Sect, how can I live up to my master's expectations if I don't eradicate you completely?" Lin Fan's eyes were firm and he made up his mind. Even if this road was rugged and difficult to move forward, he would not give in even a single step.

"Don't worry, I will send your souls back to their original bodies."

Then all the soul jars were broken, and the souls emerged. Due to the lack of the two main souls, the souls tended to disperse, so the soul refining technique was used to condense their souls together and received them in the Umbrella of All People.

Remind the Dao Soul in the Wanmin Umbrella to take good care of it.

After all, the soul is incomplete, dull and stupid.

He found the house where the Yinsha guardian lived, pushed the door open, and took a casual look. He didn't see anything strange. There was an account book on the table. He flipped through a few pages and saw the following record:

[The Yellow Rat Immortal of Huangshaling, and eleven female puppets. ]

[Black River Jiaomang River God, twenty female puppets. ]

……

Shocking.

He put the account book away. He didn't expect that there were so many demons and evil spirits in Qingzhou. He still had a long way to go.

I turned the house upside down, but found nothing except the account books.

The purpose of his doing this was just to find the evil magic that the other party practiced and then destroy it, but since he didn't find it, that's fine.

Street.

The people stared at the gate of Huangtian Sect.

Fox Daji and Cat Miaomiao had such high confidence in the Taoist priest that they never doubted that anything could happen to him.

Master Guiwu stood beside them. The aura that just rose into the sky frightened him, but fortunately, the aura came and went quickly.

"My two donors, has there been anything unusual about our fellow Taoist in the past?" Master Guiwu asked.

He knew that there was something wrong with his fellow Taoist. How to put it? They could communicate, but it felt weird after the communication, just like practicing breathing in and out of turbid air, unable to suppress it. His temperament changed drastically, but it didn't become that evil, just a little weird.

Fox Daji said: "Master, our Taoist priest has always been normal. He has a kind heart, is compassionate to the people, and is sometimes quite humorous."

Mao Miaomiao nodded frantically, "Yes, the Taoist priest is very good and often teaches us the truth of life."

"Amitabha."

Master Guiwu sighed lightly, then looked towards the door and a figure appeared.

When Lin Fan appeared, joy showed on the faces of the people. They seemed to have known the situation, but still wanted to know the definite answer from the Taoist priest.

Lin Fan took in the people's gazes and said calmly, "Dear donors, I have lived up to your expectations and eradicated the Huangtian Sect here. Their evil deeds are hated by both humans and gods, and cannot be tolerated by heaven."

Wow!

Vibration, restlessness.

"Master Xuan Dian!"

"Master Xuan Dian!"

The cheers rose one after another, like waves one after another, deafening. Even if there were people who were unaware of the situation, they would be attracted by the sounds and would be able to find out the truth by asking.

Lin Fan smiled with relief.

What does it mean to be in the will of the people? This is what it means to be in the will of the people.

What he did was recognized by the people, so it was the right thing to do.

Don't think that these uneducated people have no culture, but they know what is good and what is bad.

You could say they were cowards and didn't dare to resist.

But you can never doubt whether their brains are sane.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Fan walked up to Master Gui Wu and said with a smile, "Master, this matter has nothing to do with you. I have a lot of experience in dealing with these monsters. Let's make a deal. From now on, you just need to kill the monsters and I will help the weak and fight the strong. As long as we cooperate well, we can make this world clear and bright very quickly."

"Amitabha." Master Guiwu clasped his hands together, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Cui Mansion.

Lin Fan and Master Gui Wu had nowhere to go, so they went to Cui's house to rest. Fuling County was very lively today, and the people were in high spirits. They felt that the darkness before their eyes had disappeared.

It was circulating in the county.

When Taoist Xuan Dian came, Qingtian came.

"Fellow Daoist, you are really domineering." Master Guiwu had never said the word "domineering", but at this moment, he really had nothing to say and could only use the word "domineering" to describe Lin Fan.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Master, this is not called being overbearing, this is called acting on behalf of heaven. Whether it is the Cui family or the Huangtian Sect, they all treat the people of the world as cattle and horses, trampling and oppressing them at will. You say oppression, then oppress, but you have to harm people, leaving the people with nowhere to seek justice. If you give them a way to live, what I have done will not be recognized by so many people."

Master Guiwu knew that Lin Fan was eloquent, and that he, who only knew "Amitabha", would be no match for him in a debate, so he just nodded to show that what he said made sense.

I will not argue with you on this point.

The master looked at the two demons standing on the left and right of Lin Fan, massaging his shoulders. To be honest, he felt that the Taoist friend looked like a Taoist priest, but he was a little different from the real Taoist priests he knew.

"Fellow Daoist, when you destroyed the Huangtian Sect, I sensed an astonishing outbreak of demonic energy. Are you okay, fellow Daoist?"

What Master Guiwu is most worried about is whether Lin Fan will fall into the devil's way.

The secret of the Demon Subduing Fist is to suppress the anger in your heart and suppress the evil nature.

As long as you practice persistently, it will definitely be useful.

"Master, what can I do? I have been practicing the Demon Subduing Fist you taught me. Master, your Buddhist teachings are profound. This Demon Subduing Fist is really amazing. It has become my second most powerful ability to slay demons and monsters besides the Netherworld Soul-Captivating Eyes."

Lin Fan gave a very high evaluation and acknowledged the master's awesomeness very frankly.

Excellence should be praised. If there were more great people like the master in the world, he wouldn't have to be so tired.

"Really?" asked Master Guiwu.

"Hey!" Lin Fan stood up and walked to the center of the living room where the bloodstains were still clear. He rolled up his sleeves, revealing two arms with obvious muscular lines. "There is no point in saying more. I will show off my ugliness in front of you, Master. Please give me some pointers and see if the Demon Subduing Fist I have learned has any shortcomings."

The two girls clapped their hands diligently, "Go Taoist!"

Master Guiwu did not stop him. He also wanted to see how far his fellow Taoist had practiced the Demon-Subduing Fist. The mystery of Buddhism lies in the fact that the profound meaning of Buddhism can be hidden in every move.

When ordinary people perform the Demon Subduing Fist, they can remain calm and not be frightened, and can face everything calmly.

Even at his current state, he would often practice the Demon-Subduing Fist during his morning exercises.

"Master, look at this."

Lin Fan took a deep breath, got into position, growled, and punched out.

"Return to the shore!"

The fist suddenly loosened, forming an eagle claw, from top to bottom, as if there was a head in the claw, and it suddenly turned and turned the head back.

"The sea of ​​suffering has no end!"

He thrust his fists forward, smashing the air angrily, as if to push the enemy into the abyss.

Gradually, the style of the painting at the beginning became very wrong. As the boxing skills appeared like a violent storm, a monstrous demonic energy gradually emanated from Lin Fan's body. Even his eyes began to become sharp, as if there was a black mist boiling and roaring in his eyes.

what?
Master Guiwu stood up unconsciously, his eyes wide open. What kind of demon-subduing fist is this?

"King Kong Angry Eyes!"

Lin Fan's roar became deeper and more domineering. Every time he threw a punch, a surge of demonic energy boiled up. The demon in his heart was completely released, and a demon shadow seemed to appear in the rolling black fog behind him.

"Buddhas are dancing wildly!"

"The way of heaven is unpredictable!"

"Kill the devil and destroy the evil!"

"The merits are immeasurable!"

As the boxing skills were getting better and better, the atmosphere in the hall became strange. Even the two women could not withstand the aura and were frightened to reveal their demonic characteristics.

"Hahaha, it feels so good. It really feels so good. Master, what do you think of my Demon-Subduing Fist? Hehehe..."

Lin Fan clapped his palms, and his momentum suddenly released, and the rolling black fog surged and dispersed in all directions.

The performance is over.

He wiped his forehead which was not covered with sweat, and looked at Master Guiwu with a smile, "Master, please give me some comments. What do you think? Please don't just say nice things to save my reputation. I have to correct my shortcomings through criticism."

Master Gui Wu was unable to come back to his senses for a long time, his eyes fixed on Lin Fan.

After a while.

“Amitabha.” Master Guiwu closed his eyes, his voice trembling, and then he opened his eyes and said, “Daoyou, what kind of boxing is this? I have never taught you such a boxing method.”

"Master, this is the Demon Subduing Fist. Of course, I have improved this fist a little bit. As the saying goes, Buddhism and Taoism are inseparable. The original fist contains Buddhist teachings, but I have also made great contributions to Taoism. By incorporating some Taoist truths, it has formed the current Demon Subduing Fist, which can also be called the Compassionate Demon Fist." Lin Fan seemed a little proud.

“……?” As a high-ranking Buddhist monk, it would be difficult for Master Guiwu to show any unusual behavior other than calmness. But now he was really confused. Is the combination of Buddhism and Taoism so demonic?
If this is true, he would rather not learn Buddhism.

"Master, please tell me, what do you think of my boxing skills?" Lin Fan asked.

"Very good, without any flaws. My fellow Taoist is extremely talented and I admire you very much." Master Guiwu said.

"Haha." Lin Fan laughed, "I am very satisfied that this boxing method has been recognized by the master. In the future, I will slay demons and monsters. Let's see who dares to say that I am using evil methods. My master recognized it, and now the master recognizes it too. Could it be that those demons and monsters have the final say?"

"..." Master Guiwu put his hands together, "Amitabha."

suddenly.

There were footsteps, and a group of soldiers rushed in from outside. The one walking in front was Song Xiaotian, who was guarding the city gate. Seeing the Taoist priest, he was ecstatic. He ran to Lin Fan and said respectfully: "Master, when the incident happened, I had already closed the city gate and didn't let a fly out."

"Thank you, General." Lin Fan said with a smile.

"Master, you are embarrassing me." Song Xiaotian waved his hands quickly. How could he dare to let the master call him "General?" "Just call me Xiao Song. Master, you came to Fuling County to enforce justice for us, punish evil and promote good. If everyone knew that I dared to call myself "General" in front of you, I'm afraid I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life."

"Okay, then, Mr. Song, who are these people?" Lin Fan looked at the group of soldiers who were also wearing officer uniforms, especially the one in the lead who seemed to be the city-guarding general of Fuling County. He had the demeanor of a scholarly general, but at this moment he was looking at Lin Fan with a flattering look.

Song Xiaotian introduced: "Master, these are the officers and soldiers from our Fuling County. This one is Captain Ma, who is in charge of the city defense and public security, but he is not a good guy."

"I am Ma Cheng, the humble servant, paying my respects to the Taoist priest. I have something to ask..." Ma Qianhu stepped forward with a flattering look on his face. He was halfway through his words when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked at Song Xiaotian, only to see that Song Xiaotian held his head high and looked at him with contempt.

Captain Ma's heart sank, realizing that the situation was not good.

"Well, I can see that."

boom!
Before Captain Ma could finish his words, Lin Fan threw a punch. With a loud bang, Captain Ma's originally flattering face instantly twisted, and the whole person was blown away like a kite with a broken string.

Lin Fan's Eye of Merit flashed with light, and his gaze swept across the approaching officers and soldiers like a sharp sword.

"I didn't expect that there were still some fish that slipped through the net. I didn't go looking for you, but you actually came to me on your own initiative. The people of Fuling County are living in such an abyss, and you guys have made an indelible contribution."

He turned to Song Xiaotian, and said with approval: "Well done, Mr. Song. I will give you the first credit."

No nonsense talking to them, just punching them.

Song Xiaotian sighed, "The Taoist priest has divine eyes. No evil person can escape his eyes. Ma Cheng has never done anything good. You want to see the Taoist priest, but you want to see the Cui family's wealth. Unfortunately, they have to pay the price for what they did in the past."

At this moment, Song Xiaotian felt that his spirit seemed to be sublimated.

At this time, the officers and soldiers brought by Ma Cheng were in a panic. They had learned early on that the Cui family had been destroyed. Their first thought was to be furious and want to capture the other party. But soon, they came to their senses. The Taoist priest was able to destroy the Cui family single-handedly. Could they deal with him?

Afterwards, even the Hero Building was completely destroyed.

It also made them have no idea of ​​resisting at all.

Ma Cheng felt that this was an opportunity. The Cui family and the Huangtian Sect in Fuling County had both been destroyed, so the wealth in them would be theirs. They only needed to disguise themselves as victims.

The Cui family has suffered for a long time.

They will definitely be able to live in peace.

Who could have thought? You're overthinking.

"Amitabha." Master Guiwu witnessed his fellow Taoist's back. He was unable to stop him and had nothing to say. He could only calm his body and mind and just watch.

……

Beside a quiet street in Qingzhou, there is an ancient courtyard with three entrances and one courtyard. This is the residence of Hong Lei, the assistant of Qingzhou Supervisory Office.

Hong Lei holds an important position. If he had any greed or cruelty, even the luxurious mansion that he had visited many times would be in his pocket.

At this time, outside the gate of Hong's house, a rural woman stood out. She was wearing simple clothes, and her face was dusty and uneasy.

She paced back and forth outside the gate, occasionally looking at the servants guarding the gate, as if she wanted to go forward but didn't dare.

The doorman naturally noticed this woman and was very confused. What on earth was going on with this woman? Why was she wandering in front of the gate of the Hong residence? Did she have some ideas?
But soon, Men Ding put these distracting thoughts behind him. This is the residence of Lord Hong from the Supervisory Department. Who dares to act rashly here? Unless they are tired of living.

The doorman ignored me and said, "You can wander around while I'm guarding my gate. We'll keep to ourselves. When you want to come forward, I'll pay attention to you."

As dusk falls, the noise on the streets gradually dies down.

The sound of horse hooves coming from far away broke the silence. Hong Lei was riding a horse back home from the Supervisory Office. Hearing the sound, the doorman hurried down the steps, respectfully waiting for the master to arrive, ready to take over the reins.

Hong Lei was preoccupied with a frown on his face. After handing the reins to the servant, he walked straight towards the gate.

Suddenly, a timid voice broke the silence of the evening:

"cousin."

Although the voice was faint, it exploded in Hong Lei's ears like thunder. He stopped, turned and looked at the country woman, with a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes.

"you are?"

Hong Lei did not recognize who the other person was. Even though he looked at the face carefully, there was still no sense of déjà vu in his mind.

"Cousin, I'm Arya." "Arya!!!"

Hong Lei's heart was shaken, and the dusty memories came flooding back like a tide. He recalled his childhood in a village outside Qingzhou. At that time, there was a little girl with a runny nose who always called him "cousin" in a childish voice.

But later, as his father settled down in Qingzhou, his family took him to Qingzhou, and he lost contact with Erya from then on. Moreover, because he was still young at the time, his memory gradually became vague, and he forgot this family affection over time.

Hong Lei tried to recognize the childhood Erya from the weathered face of the woman in front of him, but the traces of time made her look unfamiliar. A complex emotion surged in his heart. Things and people have changed. It was hard to believe that the weathered woman in front of him was the lively cousin in his memory.

Hong Lei is only in his forties, and even though he has been through a lot, he still looks very well maintained.

But the woman in front of him, if she was really his cousin, who was four or five years younger than him, why did she look so old?

The woman said, "Big-headed cousin, I am really Erya."

Hong Lei was shocked and was completely sure that she was his cousin. After all, his nickname was Big Head because his head was indeed a little big at that time.

"Come, let's talk at the mansion first." Hong Lei stepped forward and took Erya's hand, just like when they were children. Her hand used to be so tender, but now it has become rough and full of traces of time.

He didn't know how his cousin had been doing over the years.

I haven't found myself in all these years.

He must be in trouble if he suddenly comes to my house now.

If you really have difficulties, as your cousin, I will naturally help.

Inside the mansion, in the hall, servants brought tea and snacks.

"Erya, have you encountered any problems? Just tell your cousin if you have anything." Hong Lei's eyes were full of sincerity and concern.

Pfft!
As if she had found her backbone, Erya's knees softened and she knelt in front of Hong Lei, "Cousin, please, save Nizi."

Hong Lei hurried forward to support her, "Who is Nizi? What happened to her?"

"Cousin, Nizi is my daughter. Yesterday, a group of soldiers rushed into my house and said that the court was going to select palace maids, so they took Nizi away. Although I haven't read much, I know that if the court selects palace maids, it will not be the turn of a poor family like ours. So I beg my cousin to save Nizi." Erya cried, having a premonition that this was not a good thing. If she couldn't find her, she would never see her again in this life.

She went to see the village chief, who said that this was a good thing, but if you really don't want to, you can't just quit if you want to. I heard that you have a cousin who is a high-ranking official in Qingzhou, so you can go find him.

Hong Lei frowned. Although he was in the Supervisory Office and usually didn't ask about the court's selection of palace maids, he seemed to have never heard of the court selecting palace maids.

"Erya, get up first. I'll go ask for you." Hong Lei helped Erya up. No matter what the situation was, he would definitely ask. Even if it was really about selecting palace maids, he would get the person out.

It's not easy to be a palace maid.

"You wait here for me to come back."

After being busy all day, Hong Lei gave his instructions and hurriedly left the mansion.

……

He went to the Supervisory Office and found a subordinate. This subordinate had no special abilities on weekdays, but he was known to be well-informed. As long as something happened, he would definitely know about it.

"Sir, the court has not issued an order to recruit palace maids recently." The subordinate replied respectfully, but then added, "However, I know a little about the women from the villages near Qingzhou being taken away. It was sent by Lord Zhao. All the women were placed in Qingyuanju."

After hearing this, Hong Lei felt that things might not be that simple. He gave the other party some reward silver and mounted his horse to rush towards Qingyuanju.

When we got there, there were guards at the door.

"Master Hong." The guard recognized Hong Lei and greeted him respectfully.

"Open the door and let me in." Hong Lei said in a deep voice.

The guard said in embarrassment: "Sir, Master Cui said that no one is allowed to enter. Please don't make things difficult for us."

Hong Lei did not force his way in, but paced outside the door, thinking about countermeasures. At this time, the figure of a man caught his attention. This man was not a member of the Supervisory Department, but Cui Yingyi's close associate, Chen Hong.

"Brother Chen, please stay." Hong Lei stepped forward quickly and called out to Chen Hong.

"Lord Hong, what advice do you have?" Chen Hong stopped and asked with a smile.

"Brother Chen, what do the women who are placed in Qingyuanju do?" Hong Lei asked.

Chen Hong narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, "Master Hong, don't you know?"

"I don't know."

"Since you don't know, I don't think it's necessary for Lord Hong to know."

"Brother Chen, can you do me a favor? A relative of mine was arrested by mistake. Can you please make some concessions and release him? Don't worry, Brother Chen, I understand and I will definitely make you satisfied." Hong Lei has always been alone. Now that her cousin came to her and asked her to save her daughter, how could she not do it?

Chen Hong chuckled, "Master Hong, the women imprisoned here are all to be sent to the Cui family. It was your Master Zhao who took the initiative to send them here. If you use your connections to ask me to release them now, once the wind blows, everyone will come to me, won't it make it difficult for me?"

Hong Lei didn't expect that she would be sent to the Cui family. If compared, he would rather be sent to the palace to be a maid. After all, there was still a way to survive. How could this ordinary woman who was sent to the Cui family have a good ending?

"Brother Chen, please help me. I will be very grateful." Hong Lei requested sincerely.

Chen Hong pondered, "How about this, the person was sent by your Lord Zhao, you go to find your Lord Zhao, as long as he agrees, you can go in to find your relative."

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

Hong Lei clasped his fists in gratitude, knowing that time waits for no one, he left in a hurry and rode towards the Supervisory Office.

Chen Hong watched Hong Lei leave, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then he turned and walked into Qingyuanju.

……

The atmosphere in the Supervisory Department was heavy.

Zhao Tianxing frowned, his eyes fixed on Hong Lei who was rushing over: "What are you doing there? Do you know that whether we can survive the Han Tianbao incident depends entirely on the Cui family?"

Hong Lei said, "Sir, I only have this one relative living in the countryside. Please be lenient with me."

Zhao Tianxing was silent for a moment, and finally waved his hand, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "Okay, go and bring someone out. Remember, you can only bring one person, these are carefully selected, if one is missing, another person will have to make up for it."

"Thank you, sir." Hong Lei said gratefully, "But could you please tell me what these women are going to do when they are sent to the Cui family?"

"Female puppet."

what?
Hong Lei stared, he knew that the female puppet was the kind with an incomplete soul and was stupid and dazy. He thought this was far away from him, but he didn't expect it to happen around him.

Zhao Tianxing said: "If you want to blame someone, blame Li Baishan for killing Han Tianbao. We can't give Han Xiangui an explanation. Only the Cui family can help."

"But..." Hong Lei was interrupted by Zhao Tianxing before he could finish his words.

"Don't think that our Qingzhou Supervisory Department is so powerful. In the eyes of people like Han Xiangui, we are just urinals around them. If you don't obey, you can kick us out at any time. Don't think about yourself, but also think about the brothers in the Supervisory Department. They have families."

"Can……"

"What else?" Zhao Tianxing's voice carried a hint of warning. "I've received news that Han Xiangui was furious when he learned about this and wanted to send all of us from the Qingzhou Supervisory Office to Dacou Mountain to mine. Fortunately, the Cui family stepped in to stop us, otherwise, do you think we can still stay here safely now?"

Hong Lei lowered his head, unable to express himself. In the end, he didn't say anything more and quietly retreated.

Zhao Tianxing in the room stood with his hands behind his back, feeling very upset.

……

In Qingyuanju, Hong Lei watched the girls gathered around the table wolfing down delicious dishes that they could hardly get to eat. Their mouths were full of greasy food and they had no image at all.

Chen Hong brought a young girl to Hong Lei and said, "Master Hong, this is the person you are looking for."

Hong Lei looked at the girl in front of him. She looked like Erya when she was little. The girl looked at Hong Lei nervously and fearfully, not knowing who he was.

"Don't be afraid, I'm your mother's cousin, which means I'm your uncle." Hong Lei forced a smile.

But he was in a very heavy mood now. These remaining ignorant girls would all become female puppets, and he could only leave with his cousin's children.

"Cousin." Nizi's voice was as thin as a mosquito's hum, with a slight timid tremor.

"Yeah." Hong Lei touched his head, then clasped his fists towards Chen Hong and said, "Goodbye."

"Master Hong, take care."

Chen Hong watched Hong Lei's back as he left. Although his young lady didn't have to give face to Zhao Tianxing in Qingzhou, she was not the head of the Supervisory Department after all, and most of the people under her were Zhao Tianxing's people.

He knew what kind of person Hong Lei was. He knew that he could only go with the flow in some things, but he had to go against his bottom line in some other things.

Hey, let it ferment slowly, there's no rush.

……

The next day.

The early morning sun shone on the streets of Fuling County. Many people gathered in front of Cui's mansion. As the day went on, everyone in Fuling County knew his reputation. He was a real honest official.

Countless people wanted to see the Taoist priest's appearance.

With each call, not only did Lin Fan straighten his back, but even the two women felt completely sublimated, and felt that they had reached the pinnacle of their lives.

Master Guiwu, who was standing by, looked at the excited Lin Fan and felt that the matter in Fuling had gotten out of hand.

How could the Cui family and the Huangtian Sect let this go?

If Lin Fan knew what Master Gui Wu was thinking, he would definitely yell, "You bald donkey, you are not afraid of demons and evil spirits, why are you always worrying about these trivial things? How long they can exist depends on my speed of travel."

If I could fly on clouds, I would have killed him long ago.

At this time, Lin Fan faced the people, raised his hand, and said in a firm and powerful voice, "Fellow villagers, elders, the reason why I gathered you all here is to let you know that the Cui family has been destroyed, but there are still things to do."

He pointed at the Cui family's mansion and continued, "Look at the Cui family's house, how luxurious and magnificent it is, but where did all these things come from? They were all taken from you one by one. They are just blood-sucking termites, don't you think so?"

The people's emotions were ignited by Lin Fan's words, their eyes were fiery and they shouted loudly.

"The Taoist priest is absolutely right."

"Long live the Taoist priest."

"Master Xuandian of Chaotian Taoist Temple is our benefactor."

"Master Xuandian has passed through Jinyang County, Bashan County, and Ningjun County, using authentic Taoist methods to slay demons and monsters, eliminate evil and promote good. Today, it is finally our Fuling County's turn."

The people were cheering, but anyone who was not sociable and said something bad about the Taoist priest might be beaten to death on the spot.

Lin Fan looked at the people in front of him. He couldn't say that they were selfless, but he could say that they were not bad people. They wanted to live a stable life and not be bullied by others.

He can bring them these.

Anything else is not something he can control.

Lin Fan smiled and continued, "The Cui family's wealth is yours. I have no say in it. I will leave it to you to decide for yourself. Go and take back what belongs to you."

The words fell.

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd became excited and rushed inside.

One figure after another rushed past them.

"Master, shall we go up there and take a look?" Lin Fan asked.

"it is good."

The two men and two monsters came to the roof, stood under the sun, and looked down at the Cui Mansion.

"Fellow Daoist, people are kind by nature, but in such a turbid world, people will change. A long, long time ago, there were Seven Hopes families. What they did angered heaven and man, and they were later eliminated and replaced by the current Five Hopes. Fellow Daoist, do you think they ever thought that they would become the people they hated the most?" Master Guiwu looked at the people who were looting in Cui's mansion, snatching and kicking each other.

But even so, no bloody conflict occurred.

He knew that all the people were afraid of Lin Fan.

"A dragon slayer will eventually become an evil dragon." Lin Fan said slowly, "Master only cares about slaying demons and eliminating monsters, but is unwilling to care about the suffering of the people. The Five Hopes and the Yellow Heaven Sect are one reason, but the main reason is that Master has seen too much and knows that the world is a cycle. Will it return to the original path in the end?"

"Amitabha."

"Master, every time I ask you something, you always say Amitabha. Do these four words mean that what I said is correct?"

"Amitabha."

At this time, Fox Daji said: "Master, you are taking out the gold and silver from the Cui Mansion and the Huangtian Sect and letting them take it themselves. Do you think that if we leave, they will commit murder in order to fight for these gold and silver?"

Lin Fan smiled, "Miao Miao, what do you think?"

Mao Miaomiao pondered, "Probably not."

Lin Fan smiled and said nothing more. He just watched quietly. Then he took out the silver coins he had and handed them to Gui Wu. "Master, take it."

"Amitabha, I regard money as dirt, so you don't have to give it to me," said Master Guiwu.

Lin Fan said: "The Cui family and the Huangtian Sect cannot be moved, so Master cannot bury their bodies. So Master, take these silver taels. If you go out to kill demons and monsters without some silver taels, you will be laughed at."

Master Guiwu looked at Lin Fan and put his hands together, "Amitabha, since it is a gift from you, how can I not accept it? Otherwise, I will make you unhappy."

As the master took the silver, Lin Fan looked at some of the people on the street. He saw that these people were bowing towards him with their hands clasped together, with reverence in their eyes, which formed a sharp contrast with the people inside.

Master Gui Wu followed Lin Fan's gaze and turned to look at the street.

"Amitabha." Master Guiwu silently chanted the Buddha's name to the people, "Daoyou, your actions may seem to be without any rules, but they actually have deep meanings."

"What's the deep meaning?" Lin Fan asked.

Master Guiwu said helplessly: "Daoyou ask even though you already know the answer."

Lin Fan smiled. He didn't think there was any profound meaning in it. The master just liked to tell riddles. However, the master's words enlightened him. Looking at the group of sincerely grateful people, he felt that he should do something.

He took off the Umbrella of All People on his back and threw it lightly into the air. With the blessing of his magical power, the Umbrella of All People slowly rotated in the air, emitting a faint light. He pinched his fingers to perform the art of reincarnation, and a mysterious breath diffused in the air, as if he had established a connection with the souls of the people below.

The people looked up at the Umbrella of All People devoutly, their eyes sincere and full of hope.

Master Guiwu, who was standing by, was extremely shocked.

Because the magic spell cast by fellow Taoist actually has an aura of the underworld, although it is weak, it is very powerful.

After a while.

The Wanmin Umbrella drew a graceful arc in the air and flew back into his hand.
Master Guiwu asked, "Daoyou, what kind of magic is this?"

Lin Fan said: "The art of reincarnation. The world is like this. I can't protect them forever, so I will connect them with my umbrella of all people. One day in the future, when they die of old age, their souls will have nowhere to go and will be displaced. Then they will be guided to my umbrella of all people."

Master Guiwu said: "When one dies of old age, he has no regrets and no grudges. If one does not gather souls, how can one be displaced?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "If they can die of old age, it means that what I and the master have done is worth it. But if they die unjustly, their resentment will not go away and will condense into living souls, becoming wandering ghosts, wandering in the world, suffering unspeakably. I will leave a way out for these people."

"Good." Master Guiwu was filled with admiration. As for the fact that his fellow Taoist had a demonic nature, he had long forgotten about it. How could he say that Taoist Xuandian was possessed by a demon if he could have such an idea?
If someone really said that in front of him, he would raise his staff and hit the other person on the head.

Nonsense.

I agree with you. Can your Buddhist knowledge be as profound as mine?
The sound of his conversation with the master was so loud that it reached the ears of the people on the street and also the ears of the people who were snatching gold and silver in Cui's mansion.

But the people in Cui's mansion did not change at all, and they were still looking for gold and silver in the mansion.

On the other hand, the people on the street knelt on the ground.

"The Taoist priest is merciful!"

"The Taoist priest is merciful!"

They only felt how happy it was to have hope in life and a place to go after death, and all of this was brought to them by the Taoist priest in front of them.

Song Xiaotian in the crowd looked at him with admiration. He had become a loyal believer of the Taoist priest. Next to him was a young man, who was none other than the fat boy.

He also knelt there and worshiped.

"Master, I'm leaving first. There is nothing for me to do here anymore." Lin Fan jumped down and landed calmly, followed by the two women.

The people's eyes followed the Taoist priest's figure, and when he walked away, they stood up and followed him in an orderly manner.

Master Guiwu stood alone on the roof, silently looking at the receding figure.

Sigh.

"Could it be that fellow Daoist is the reincarnation of the Demon-Subduing Patriarch?"
