Catching Monsters

Chapter 121 Who can’t withstand such a test?

Jiang Yun discovered that the Red Lotus Cult was really powerful. Everything could be related to this group of evil people.

In addition, Jiang Yun's heart tightened slightly, and he became a little cautious.

He didn't know whether this group of evil people knew that Tang Yifei's death was related to him.

If you knew...

Jiang Yun thought for a moment, and seeing that the old woman had turned around and walked into the cabin, he thought about it carefully and stood up: "I'll follow her and take a look."

"Brother-in-law..." Xu Xiaogang looked at Jiang Yun for help: "Can I go with you?"

"No, you two just stay here."

Jiang Yun quickly followed the old woman's steps. The talismans in his sleeves were already prepared. Whenever the old woman wanted to attack him, Jiang Yun would be able to react in time.

Came to a corridor at the back, the entire corridor.

There were only the old woman and Jiang Yun.

"I was originally planning to meet you in person in a few days, but I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." The old woman turned around and introduced herself, "I am the guardian of the Red Lotus Sect, Xing Cuirou."

Jiang Yun hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed: "I greet Guardian Xing!"

Xing Cuirou always had a smile on her face, but her voice was a little cold: "Jiang Yun, Tang Yifei is dead, do you know about this?"

Jiang Yun had a bit of annoyance on his face, and he sighed and said, "Hey, I don't know the specific details, but I heard that there seems to be a lot of movement in the courtyard where Tang Protector is."

"It seems like an expert has taken action."

"I'm afraid that Dharma Protector Tang might be discovered by accident, and the imperial court will send out experts..."

Xing Cuirou said in a cold voice: "There are two people who killed Tang Yifei, one of whom should be a third-grade great scholar."

"The other person performed Taoism, and his strength is probably quite good as well."

"If the imperial court discovers the Red Lotus Sect's traces, the one who will take action will probably be the old eunuch beside the dog emperor."

"Or other masters."

"A third-rank scholar basically does not interfere in government affairs, and will not take action easily without special reasons."

Xing Cuirou said slowly: "Forget it, the dead cannot be resurrected. Fortunately, the entire Tang Mansion was destroyed, and some information about our Red Lotus Sect was not left behind."

"From now on, I will be your superior, and your tasks will be assigned by me."

"Your first task is to find a way to recruit all the Jinyiwei on the shore onto the ship so that I can capture them all in one fell swoop."

Listening to Xing Cuirou's words, Jiang Yun's heart skipped a beat and he advised, "Protector Xing, there will be no problem in killing this group of Jinyiwei."

"But the question is, are you planning to kill me too?"

Xing Cuirou narrowed her eyes and shook her head: "You are very useful in the Jinyiwei, and you are one of us. Why would I kill you for no reason?"

Jiang Yun said in a deep voice: "More than 30 Jinyiwei came to carry out the mission, and I am the only one who returned alive?"

"Let's not talk about the Jinyiwei. Will they suspect that I'm colluding with evil people?"

"Even if they don't suspect me of colluding with evil people, if I abandon my colleagues and escape alone, my future in the Jinyiwei will probably end here."

"Why don't I solve this case and make a great contribution..."

Xing Cuirou's expression turned a little ugly, and she became a little colder: "Why? Do you want everyone on this ship to be buried with you for your meritorious service?"

"Or do you have feelings for these Jinyiwei people and can't bear to kill them?"

"My words are orders, understand?"

Jiang Yun was not panicked at all. Instead, he said calmly, "Protector Xing, I am absolutely loyal to the Red Lotus Sect! I swear to the Taoist Master!"

Jiang Yun then pointed to the plank under his feet and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there must be something under the water, right?"

Hearing Jiang Yun's words, Xing Cuirou stared at him with interest: "What is it?"

Jiang Yun: "I can't guess what it is exactly, maybe it's explosives?"

"Or something else."

Hearing Jiang Yun's guess, Xing Cuirou had a blank expression on her face and did not respond.

Jiang Yun knew that he guessed right.

Initially, he did think that this strange ship was some kind of evil that was harming people, but until he saw the people from the Red Lotus Cult appear, he realized that this matter was definitely not that simple.

The guardian of the Red Lotus Sect has this interest, so he drives a boat specifically to harm people and absorb some of their essence?
Moreover, a spell was cast to create a thin mist on the canal, making it impossible to see the situation inside the canal clearly.

In addition, the Red Lotus Cult had previously secretly transported a batch of mysterious contraband in from the city wall.

I also bought myself a large batch of white sugar.

When all these things are put together, the result is not difficult to guess.

Jiang Yun continued, "If our group of Jinyiwei still die here, the East Pacification Office will soon send stronger people to investigate."

"Even if you, Protector Xing, leave this place at that time, there are many smart people in the East Pacification Office."

"What if we search underwater and find something?"

"The best scenario is that I solve the case and write the report."

"No one can find what our Red Lotus Sect hides underwater."

Listening to Jiang Yun's words, Xing Cuirou's eyes clearly revealed interest.

She walked back and forth in the corridor with her hands behind her back, but suddenly recalled what Tang Yifei had said before: this person might not be reliable...

The leader also said that whether or not one is reliable is no longer the most important thing.

Great things are about to happen!

"There are two companions on this boat." Xing Cuirou said calmly: "If you can deal with them, then do as you say."

"If those Jinyiwei are defeated and die in the hands of the two of them, it will have nothing to do with me."

At this point, the elderly Xing Cuirou couldn't help but shed tears. She wiped them with her hand and sighed, "They are all my old friends who have followed me for many years."

"You have a deep bond with me."

"If you guys are like this, you can really defeat them."

"Make sure they die on the ship. Do you understand?" Hearing this, Jiang Yun nodded hurriedly and said respectfully, "I understand."

Xing Cuirou looked at Jiang Yun deeply, then slowly turned and left.

Looking at Xing Cuirou's back, Jiang Yun had a clue in his mind.

Soon returned to the lobby of the ship.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Wei Huaian and Xu Xiaogang sitting at the table, being urged to drink by the two paper figures.

Naturally, the two of them did not dare to eat anything on this strange ship.

Seeing Jiang Yun coming back, Xu Xiaogang could hardly bear it anymore. He clenched his fists, ready to attack at any time.

After entering the house, Jiang Yun nodded slightly to Xu Xiaogang and Wei Huaian, indicating that they could start.

Wei Huaian understood instantly.

"I'll go to the window and get some fresh air."

Walking to the window and looking at the many Jinyiwei who were ready at any time below, he whistled.

The many Jinyiwei who had been waiting for a long time under the boat had already prepared their flying hooks.

After hearing the signal, he threw the flying hook with force and hooked it on the windows of the strange ship.

Afterwards, many Jinyiweis moved as fast as a swallow, stepped on the ropes connected to the flying hooks, and rushed towards the strange ship.

At the same time, in the hall, the paper figure of the turtle man was holding a wine glass: "Sir, have a drink."

Xu Xiaogang finally couldn't bear it anymore, jumped up and pulled out the long sword hidden in his clothes.

The sword flashed by.

In an instant, the paper man was cut in half from the abdomen and fell to the ground.

With a loud bang, all the paper figures in the hall stood up and looked at Xu Xiaogang intently.

All the paper figures let out shrill howls and attacked Xu Xiaogang frantically.

Xu Xiaogang kicked the chair next to him, knocking away the two paper figures that were approaching, and swung his sword. These paper figures had low magical powers, and even though there were many of them, they could not do anything to Xu Xiaogang.

Just at this moment, the windows of the ship's building were smashed, and one Jinyiwei after another rushed in from outside.

But as soon as they got on the boat, the eyes of these Jinyiwei suddenly became a little blurry.

Jiang Yun hurriedly recited the Qingxin Jue loudly, which made all the Jinyiwei recover instantly.

"Kill these guys." Wei Huaian gave the order immediately.

These Jinyiwei had just boarded the ship, but they did not ask many questions and quickly joined the battle. In a short while, hundreds of paper people were chopped into pieces and scattered everywhere.

The woman who had led the three of them in earlier, twisting her waist, slowly walked out from the back and came to the hall. Looking at the scene in front of her, a smile appeared on her face: "Wow, so many guests have come. It's going to be lively now."

"Orange ghost, why don't you do anything?"

Loggerhead ghost?

The moment the words fell, suddenly, the wall above everyone's heads cracked open, and a huge evil creature fell from above.

This guy was completely black, covered with thick black hair, and had a hunched body. He looked like a monkey.

But it doesn't look like a monkey.

This thing is three meters tall, with extremely sharp nails, one black and one white eye, and a strong murderous aura flowing from its body.

"Logger ghost." Jiang Yun frowned tightly. In his previous life, he had heard of this kind of evil magic, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. The means of refining it were quite cruel.

The monkey ghost is similar to a monkey but not a monkey. It is trained by humans. The training process is cruel and the person will suffer torture that is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Bones and muscles will be torn repeatedly hundreds of times.

Ordinary people cannot bear the pain during this process and commit suicide.

Even if he didn't commit suicide, he would probably become completely mentally ill due to the endless pain.

But seeing the eyes of the 蓮鬼 moving left and right and staring at the many Jinyiwei vigilantly, you can know that this guy is intelligent, and his intelligence is not low.

"The aura this guy exudes is probably at least the strength of a sixth-grade evil creature." Wei Huaian said in a deep voice, reminding everyone around him: "Be careful."

The loggerhead ghost suddenly jumped up and pounced towards everyone.

Jiang Yun quickly took out the talisman in his hand and prepared to respond.

The woman in the distance had already taken out a flute made of emerald green jade and was playing a pleasant flute sound.

"Phantom sound?"

Jiang Yun hurriedly recited the Qingxin Jue loudly again.

But this time, it had no effect!
This woman's illusion technique is far superior to Zhao Chongfeng's back then!
Even though he was reciting the Qingxin Jue, the sound of the flute continued to reach his ears and he could not resist it at all.

He knew very well that illusion was to take advantage of everyone's emotional weaknesses in order to manipulate people.

For example, some people like women, and in the fantasy world, countless beauties will appear around them.

Some people like money, and mountains of gold and silver will appear.

Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, desire.

Everyone has weaknesses.

Jiang Yun couldn't help but wonder what his weakness was.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, save me."

He looked back and saw Xu Xiaogang lying on the ground covered in blood, begging for mercy.

Jiang Yun: “?”

This illusion is testing me with this?
Who can't stand such a test?

　I had almost finished writing the second chapter, but then some guests came to my house, and I had dinner with them and chatted for a while, and it was late.

　　Sorry, everyone.
