All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 39: Eunuch Kingdom (Happy New Year everyone! Good fortune in the Year of the Snake!)
Ji Ran threw a pair of huge wooden boxes in front of Chen Chu.

"Look at the things here and see how much money they can be exchanged for."

Two large boxes and a bundle of bamboo slips were all the harvest.

bass!
Ji Ran's Kunwu flashed and directly cut off the copper lock on the box. Wang Xian immediately reached out and opened the box.

boom!
The heavy wooden lid flipped back, revealing a piece of snow-white material. It was a whole box of silver!

The densely packed silver ingots bear the official stamp of the Southern Han Dynasty.

At least ten thousand taels!

The other box was filled with all kinds of treasures, including pearls, agates, gold-decorated tortoise shells, and Persian turquoise.

This box is worth more!
Chen Chu's breathing became rapid. These were all military pay!

The only flaw was that the scattered blood stains on the jewelry ruined the brilliance.

"This box starts at at least fifty thousand taels."

Chen Qingyan scratched his head and spoke to several people.

He spread his hands and said, "I don't need these things, but how are you going to carry them here?"

These two boxes are quite heavy!

Chen Chu immediately looked at Ji Ran. Before, he had demonstrated his ability to store items.

Ji Ran didn't hesitate and waved his hand immediately, and the two large boxes disappeared immediately.

Chen Qingyan was stunned and asked, "Hutianshu? Moving method?"

Ji Ran smiled but said nothing. The Taoist was also understanding and did not ask any further questions. He just shrugged and said, "In this world, anyone can perform a few Taoist magic tricks, but Master Ji's skills are extraordinary in my opinion."

Ji Ran smiled, but raised his hand and put down a pile of pearls.

He pushed seven or eight pearls to Chen Qingyan and said, "I know you don't rely on brute force to kill. Take these pearls. They are very effective in healing your injuries. Just in case."

"Thank you."

Chen Qingyan didn't hesitate and immediately put the pearls away with a wave of his sleeves.

Ji Ran looked at Wang Xian again, handed over ten pearls, and said, "Your strength is the most dangerous, so be careful. If a fight breaks out, keep your distance and use arrows."

Wang Xian nodded immediately and said, "I understand, Brother Ji!"

Finally, Ji Ran looked at Chen Chu, and there were more than twenty pearls on the table.

"Brother Chen, if you want these pearls, let's go to Nanhai County and make a scene, and we'll definitely seize a few boxes of them!"

"But you must treat these pills as medicine. Don't be stingy."

Ji Ran said seriously: "If you really die on the road, I won't steal the military pay. It's not bad to be a knight-errant in this Han land."

"By then, the lives of two hundred brothers will truly be wasted."

Chen Chu let out a breath, nodded vigorously, and put away the pearl.

At this moment, Chen Qingyan placed a bundle of bamboo slips on the table.

"I just read these bamboo slips. They say a grand sacrifice will be held in the South China Sea in the second half of the month. All regions must allocate gold, silver, and jewelry for offerings."

"These two boxes are the last batch. The Painted Skin Captain was transporting these treasures. He passed by and heard about your presence. He stopped for a while, intending to cut off 2000 heads and take them with him to collect some military merit."

Then the Taoist said, "I have destroyed the Ghost Scripture I obtained."

"The demons in the Ghostly Golden Maitreya Temple have created a method for ghosts to transform into animals. After killing someone, they use the corpse to carry demonic energy and ghost energy, transforming into monsters. These monsters will actively attack humans, but will not attack ghosts."

The Taoist raised his head and looked at Chen Chu, saying, "If a large number of civilians transformed into monsters and appeared on the battlefield, the Southern Han soldiers would not be attacked because of their ghostly aura, but the rebels would suffer!"

Chen Chu nodded, his expression grim. Fighting the demonic soldiers with human bodies was already a struggle for the rebels, and if demons joined in, they would be doomed.

After all, they were an insurgent army, and their cohesion was not even as strong as that of the Southern Han's ghost soldiers. Once they really suffered a major defeat, they would basically collapse.

The Taoist sighed and said, "But this is only half."

"The other half is still with that evil monk."

"Ok?"

Ji Ran raised his eyebrows and asked, "That monk is not dead?"

I clearly cut the ghost mother that the monk transformed into in half, and I saw that the monk with only half of his body was trapped by the Taoist priest. How could he run away?
Chen Qingyan said helplessly: "Yes."

"Master Ji, the black fire you unleashed has the power to taint the gods. Somehow, my bean soldiers were also infected by the flames and were burned to ashes in the blink of an eye. The monk also took advantage of the opportunity and escaped using the method of escaping from the dark."

Ji Ran was stunned, he didn't expect this.

Chen Qingyan took a deep breath and bowed, saying, "I dare to ask for your help. Please help me kill that evil monk and destroy that ghost scripture!"

At this moment, Chen Chu and Wang Xian both looked at Ji Ran.

After last night's battle, it seemed that Ji Ran was about to become the backbone of the three.

Looking at Chen Qingyan's eyes and the eyes of Chen Chu and the others, Ji Ran didn't think too much about it, nor did he intend to think too much about it.

He only thought of Yuan Beishan's back in the mirage.

And the mutilated corpse that I buried with my own hands.

Ji Ran supported Kunwu, and his eyes, reflecting the fire, seemed to be burning with red flames.

“That’s as it should be!”…

On the mountain path, a light rain was falling.

A team of carriages was traveling on the road.

In the middle of the team, in the largest carriage, the warm fire inside dispelled the chill of the rainy day.

An old man with gray hair was sitting in the car, dressed neatly in brocade clothes.

"Woe, woe!"

The old man had a square face, long sideburns and frowning eyebrows, and he looked very sad.

Next to her was a beautiful woman who looked much younger, crying and wiping her tears.

"Sir, if we leave, I'm afraid the other members of the tribe will be beheaded."

"Of course I know!"

The old man waved his hands irritably and said, "Then what? Stay?"

"Someone recommended my Xiao family, and His Majesty agreed. He wanted all the members of my Xiao family who have made great achievements to serve as officials in the court."

"But that damned eunuch!"

The old man's face was extremely grim. He said, "They are slandering me. Only when the eunuchs stop causing trouble can they assist the emperor wholeheartedly and without second thoughts."

"All those who want to serve as officials in the court must purify themselves before entering the court!"

Snapped!
A stack of yellow wooden signs fell to the ground.

The old man blushed and shouted angrily: "Look, look!"

"That eunuch delivered more than just the Prime Minister's seal!"

"And this, and the number plate of the cleansing room!"

"I am eighty-three years old this year!"

"I, Xiao An, come from a prominent family. Four generations have inherited the title, and our achievements and reputation have benefited our descendants for over a hundred years!"

"He, that doll on the dragon throne, wants me to cleanse him!!!"

boom!
The old man was panting like an ox, his eyes red. He suddenly overturned the table and said, "I am not like the bald donkey of the Mahayana Maitreya Sect. In order to become the state religion, tens of thousands of monks were castrated!"

"I have to have some dignity!"

After Xiao An's roar, the beautiful woman next to him finally stopped talking.

The old man calmed down and said quietly, "It's okay, it's okay. As a famous scholar from a wealthy family in the late Tang Dynasty, I have surrendered to the Later Tang Dynasty. Even if I can't be an official..."

"At least, be a human being."

"Master, master!"

Suddenly, a knight rode up and knocked on the old man's window.

Xiao An nodded his chin, and the beautiful woman wiped her tears, opened the inner button, and opened the window.

slam-la-

As the windows opened, the strong smell of humidity and the sound of rain entered the car.

A knight in armor bent down, and the raindrops dripped onto his visor. When he lowered his head, a stain of water came in, which made the old man frown.

"Master, there is a small town ahead!"

"Ok?"

Xiao An was stunned, but he was confused and said, "Aren't we walking along the mountain?"

"Yes, but the escort who was exploring the way ahead said that they came across a small town."

"The city is located on a mountain ridge. If you want to get through, you must enter."

Weird.

Xiao An frowned, but asked, "What did Taoist Priest Liu and Hero Xun say?"

"The Taoist priest said it's okay. Even if there are one or two evil spirits haunting this mountain, he can capture them."

"That's good."

Hearing the Taoist priest he had hired at a high price say this, Xiao An's brows relaxed and he said, "Then go."

"After crossing this mountain and going around Nanhai County, we will enter the Later Tang Dynasty."

The old man stood up. The carriage was wide enough for people to stand up and walk around.

He came to the carriage door, lifted a solid mink curtain, opened the wooden door, and felt a surge of heat. He then lifted the outer three-layer thick cowhide curtain and looked over the driver's shoulder.

All I could see ahead was dense forests, clouds, and mist shrouding the mountains.

The heavy rain stirred up everything in the mountains, creating a hazy mist.

A lonely little town is shrouded in mist and rain.
