New and dark light years

Chapter 279 Bastard

Yulin County.

Li Lin enjoyed two months of leisure.

He was happy every day.

It wasn't until the day of Lesser Heat that something came up.

The person who came was Zhao Xiaohu.

He brought over two baskets of green vegetables, placed them on the table, and said, "These are from home. My parents asked me to bring them over for you to try."

"How is Uncle Zhao?" Li Lin asked.

Zhao Xiaohu nodded repeatedly: "It's alright, you're in great shape. You worked in the fields all day yesterday and you didn't feel tired at all."

Li Lin then asked, "How's your kung fu practice going?"

"His martial arts skills are so-so, but his Yin-nourishing mental cultivation method is already quite advanced."

"Let me see."

Zhao Xiaohu reached out his hand.

Li Lin pressed on his left and right pulses for a while, then nodded with satisfaction: "It seems you haven't been slacking off. The concentration of Yin energy in your body is already comparable to that of Bai Bufan."

Zhao Xiaohu chuckled.

At this moment, Xiaoping brought over tea from the side and said, "Master, Madam said... she and Sister Hongluan are going out to buy some cloth in town later, and they will be back in a while."

"Okay," Li Lin said with a smile. "Go out with those two and help carry their things."

"it is good."

Xiaoping bowed slightly and then left.

Zhao Xiaohu said, "My sister-in-law is so virtuous; she's willing to do needlework."

"What, does Inspector Ding not know how?"

Li Lin found it a bit strange. He remembered that Ding Xun Shou was indeed skilled in needlework and had seen her knit clothes before.

Zhao Xiaohu said helplessly, "She does know it, but she loves practicing martial arts more. What's the point of a woman having such good skills?"

Li Lin immediately smiled.

The main reason Zhao Xiaohu said that was because he could never beat Ding Yingqiu.

In fact, Zhao Xiaohu likes Ding Yingqiu, a lively type.

Otherwise... given Zhao Xiaohu's current status and abilities, finding a pretty village girl wouldn't be a problem for him at all.

Let alone a village girl, finding a merchant's daughter in the city to be one's legal wife is also a very simple matter.

"So, what brings you here to see me this time?" Li Lin asked.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaohu blushed slightly and took out a red invitation card: "Um... I'm getting married to Sister Qiu, and the date has been set."

He placed the invitation on the table and pushed it in front of Li Lin.

Li Lin opened it and saw that the date was one month later.

"Is it too late, given the time constraints?"

After all... Ding Yingqiu's hometown is Guicheng.

It's at least half a month's journey from here, and it would take even longer if you were to travel by horse-drawn carriage or on foot.

"We plan to keep things simple and not go to Guicheng. We'll just invite some relatives, friends, and colleagues."

"The Ding family has no objections?"

"This is also the Ding family's intention."

Li Lin nodded and smiled, "The banquet is being held in the village, right?"

"Correct!"

After Li Lin moved the altar of the Tree Fairy Goddess to Yulin County, he 'left' the village.

They will no longer be stationed in Shangtikou Village.

So Zhao Xiaohu moved his garrison back to Shangtikou Village.

"Don't worry, I will be ready when I arrive that day, and I will also prepare a generous gift."

"Thank you, Brother Lin," Zhao Xiaohu said happily.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Xiaohu left.

Li Lin returned to the backyard and saw Li Yanjing standing in the hall, looking up at the distance.

Why are you out here? Aren't you afraid of getting sunburned?

Although Li Yanjing wasn't afraid of sunlight, as a ghost, she did dislike appearing when the sun was at its strongest.

She frowned and said, "I can feel a kind of yin energy over there."

"Hmm? The Immortal Execution Society is causing trouble again?" It's no wonder Li Lin had this thought, after all, the organization that had been causing him the most trouble recently was the Immortal Execution Society.

The Executioner's Guild was suppressed by the imperial court before, and it did indeed quiet down for a while.

After careful consideration, they should have calmed down by now.

In a situation like this, it's perfectly normal to go looking for trouble with the 'enemy', isn't it?

Li Yanjing shook her head and said, "That's the fireworks street."

Li Lin raised an eyebrow.

"My husband, you know I am a possessed ghost."

Li Lin nodded.

The body that Li Yanjing is currently in belongs to a certain courtesan.

"My intelligence was born from the resentment of countless grieving women in brothels. Now that I have left that place, the resentment there is no longer attracted by anyone, so it has gathered again."

Li Lin understood what she meant: "You mean, there are new tricks emerging in the brothels?"

"Yes!"

Li Lin thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go over there."

Li Yanjing wanted to say something more, but gave up and nodded.

In fact, Li Lin could guess what Li Yanjing wanted to say.

She was a ghost born from the resentment of courtesans, and this new ghost is also one.

In other words, they are a type of 'weirdo', and you could also say they are sisters.

She wanted Li Lin to let her younger sister go.

However, there is still a difference between the two. Li Yanjing has intelligence, while this new monster that is about to appear does not.

Or rather, it takes a very long time for intelligence to develop.

Li Yanjing also went through this period, but she was lucky because she hadn't harmed anyone and was just instinctively absorbing yin energy and resentment to grow, so she didn't attract the attention of the spirit hunters.

But this newly emerging mystery may not be so.

If it turns out to be a harmful and irrational charlatan, then things will get complicated.

This is why Li Lin is going there now.

He went to the county government office and asked the yamen runners to notify the other spirit hunters who were still in the county town.

Soon... the Bai family uncle and nephew, as well as Ding Yingqiu, all arrived.

Looking at the three of them, Li Lin smiled and said, "It's been a long time since we've worked together. It's been a long time since we last met."

The Bai family uncle and nephew smiled and clasped their hands in greeting, and Ding Yingqiu also bowed.

At this moment, Ding Yingqiu looked around and asked, "Where's Xiaohu? Didn't he go to find the county magistrate?"

Li Lin was somewhat surprised: "He did come looking for me, but he left half an hour ago."

Ding Yingqiu thought for a moment and said, "They're probably going to buy some things for the wedding."

At this time, the Bai family uncle and nephew also received the invitation, and they still clasped their hands in congratulations.

Ding Yingqiu expressed her gratitude graciously.

“The four of us should be enough,” Li Lin said. “My wife said that a great monster is about to appear in the Fireworks Street area. To be on the safe side, let’s go there as a group of four.”

All three Spirit Hunters nodded.

This is their job.

The four arrived at the fireworks street, and as soon as they entered, they felt a gloomy aura swirling in the air.

It's not very thick, but it's showing signs of forming.

"There is indeed something fishy going on." Ding Yingqiu nodded gently.

The Bai family uncle and nephew's expressions turned serious.

The four of them walked around the red-light district and then spotted a brothel.

Li Lin went over, revealed his identity, and asked the madam to clear the area.

Soon, the clients all ran out, their clothes disheveled.

But then, a bearded man opened a door, fastening his belt as he muttered, "Who's spoiling the mood like this..."

Then the bearded man froze.

Li Lin and the others were also stunned.

Then came Ding Yingqiu's angry shout: "Zhao Xiaohu, you bastard!"

The shrill sound almost pierced the entire brothel.
