No taboos

Chapter 406 Unable to Pay (Bonus Chapter)
"My lord, what should we do?"

The county magistrate was even more formidable, because the cassock was already floating towards the two of them.

On the robe, one after another, vicious mouths rose and fell.

Many of the menacing teeth still had bits of bright red flesh stuck between them.

Saliva dripped down.

However, in their left eye, they saw a kind-faced monk holding a wooden fish, walking towards them with a gentle and benevolent expression.

Xu Yuan sneered and said, "Burn it all up in one fire!"

After saying that, Lord Xu suddenly opened his mouth:
boom--

The fire within the fifth-rate man's belly was released without reservation this time.

In an instant, billowing flames formed a blazing inferno above their heads.

The two were surrounded by clear water.

Beyond that was a sea of ​​fire.

Various screams and roars continuously came from the sea of ​​fire.

Just listening to these sounds gave the magistrate a splitting headache, as if red-hot steel needles were churning inside his brain.

Then I saw what seemed to be all sorts of monsters, which, though set ablaze, still rushed over desperately, creating surging waves of fire in the sea of ​​flames.

Fortunately, none of them managed to get close before they were all burned to ashes.

Outside the temple gate, Lang Xiaoba and Ji Shuangqiu turned around and felt the warmth emanating from inside the temple.

"The master has gone all out."

"The evil spirits in the temple must have done something to thoroughly enrage the adults."

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the temple suddenly fell silent.

A short while later, Yuan came out first.

The county magistrate followed behind, staggering along.

And they followed closely, afraid of being left behind.

Even though Lord Xu burned away all the evil spirits with a fire, the magistrate still dared not stay inside alone.

"grown ups."

The staff of the Purification Division bowed to greet them.

Xu Yuan opened his palm, revealing six glass beads inside.

"This is still the only material available."

The evil spirits in this temple have reached the sixth level!

Xu Yuan felt uneasy: Would some low-level evil spirits appear tomorrow?

The magistrate was truly terrified and followed behind Lord Xu, pleading, "Your Excellency, please stay in my county for a few more days..."

……

As darkness fell, an inn in the west of the city welcomed several wealthy guests.

The group consisted of five people, led by a young woman.

It was accompanied by two strong women and two guards.

One of the women threw down a ten-tael silver ingot, asking the shopkeeper to prepare a clean courtyard.

The money is left hanging on the counter; any overpayment will be refunded and any underpayment will be collected when you leave.

I also asked the restaurant to arrange dinner, making sure it was clean and delicious.

The young lady was graceful and charming, wearing a veil and a light gauze covering her face. Although her features were not clearly visible, she must have been a beauty of unparalleled grace.

The waiter glanced at it furtively, then, filled with awe, dared not look any longer and hurried off to prepare dinner.

Another raggedly dressed boy came out of the shop, carrying an earthenware pot in his hands.

"Waiter, do you have hot water...?"

The waiter impatiently shoved him aside: "Go fetch some water from the well yourself. You penniless wretch living in the woodshed, you expect me to serve you?"

The boy was so thin that he almost fell to the ground when he was pushed.

He silently got up and went to the well in the backyard.

...After dinner, the young lady and two strong women unfolded a map in the house.

This map is only three feet square, but the terrain it shows is constantly changing.

The young lady looked at the map, her gaze fixed on the county town on the screen.

The county town, which was originally just a red dot on the map, suddenly appeared to be enlarged.

Soon the county town filled the entire map.

All the buildings in the county, including the Shengpeng Inn where they were staying, were clearly visible.

The two women earnestly advised, "Miss, you must not take any risks tomorrow. If there is anything to do, let Geng Qi and Geng Jiu do it. If you refuse, don't blame us for bringing out the master's invitation and forcibly taking you back."

"If anything really happens to you, the four of us can't bear the responsibility."

The young lady rested her chin on her hand, leaning against the table, exuding a leisurely and languid air, inadvertently revealing her pampered upbringing.

The shopkeeper's guess was accurate; the young lady was stunningly beautiful, and her eyes were clear and innocent, untouched by the filth of the world.

"I understand," the young lady replied casually, her voice surprisingly pleasant.

Her attention was entirely focused on the map.

Then she wrinkled her fair, high nose and said in a coquettish tone, "Master is so stingy. This map only gave me the southern part of Jiaozhi. I can't even go to other places to play first. Humph."

The strong woman said, "With Lord Ma Tianshou overseeing things in southern Jiaozhi, it's safer."

The young lady's finger casually traced on the map, and the area she touched would appear to grow larger or smaller with her delicate finger.

"The map shows that the evil spirit 'Nail-Head Boil,' for which the Exorcism Bureau has offered a reward, has recently escaped to Shiping County. But why is it still not visible on the map even after we've arrived in Shiping County?"

Wei Shi casually remarked, "Perhaps it's because that thing escaped from the county town today."

Another strong woman said, "Miss, you should rest early. Tomorrow we will worship the map and then find the location of the evil spirit."

Since you have already offered prayers today, you cannot offer prayers again.

Upon hearing this, the young lady yawned and said, "Okay, I'll take a shower."

"This servant has them prepare hot water."

……

The waiter, having received instructions from Wei Ershiyi, hurried to the kitchen to boil water, only to see the young man in the woodshed just boiling a pot of water on the stove and pouring it into an earthenware pot.

He was furious and slapped the boy on the back of the head.

The boy in the woodshed was stunned by the beating and looked back at him blankly.

"Isn't firewood free?" The waiter poured the hot water back into the earthenware pot and then added a bucket of cold water to the pot: "A distinguished guest wishes to take a bath."

Then he added more firewood to the stove and pulled the bellows hard.

The boy from the woodshed stood behind him, his face icy: "A nobleman can take a bath with hot water, but I can't even have a sip?"

"No!" the waiter said. "If you can afford it, I'll personally carry the whole bucket of hot water to your room."

People have different fates; my life is cheap, but yours is even cheaper!

The boy said no more, filled a jar with ice-cold well water, and left.

As they were leaving, the waiter threatened them menacingly, "Don't go to the west courtyard. You'll disturb the important guests, and you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

The boy went outside and touched his brow.

The skin there was cracked, like a third eye.

Its eyeball, however, was a glass bead.

With his third eye, he looked at the earthenware jar in his hand and said quietly, "If I can only drink cold water, then let everyone be like me and only be able to drink cold water."

He poured the well water from the earthenware pot onto the ground.

The water then flowed gurgling in all directions.

There was only one earthenware pot, yet it quickly flooded the entire courtyard.

The first to be affected was the waiter in the kitchen behind him.

The waiter exclaimed in alarm, followed by the sounds of drowning and choking.

The icy well water kept being poured into his mouth.

The waiter shut his mouth, but the water kept flowing into his body through his nostrils, ears, and even anus.

The waiter's body swelled larger and larger until it finally couldn't take it anymore and exploded with a bang!
