Chapter 311 The Judge's Visit - Uncle Nine is Shocked
As Uncle Jiu watched Ah Qiang's departing figure, he felt a pang of melancholy. He wondered why he had suddenly acted impulsively and accepted such a thing when he first came to Baiyun Village.

He took on two apprentices in Baiyun Village: one named Aqiang, who was the captain of the village's security team, and the other named Ade, who was the deputy captain of the security team.

Ah-Qiang's eyesight isn't very good; he needs glasses to see things clearly. Unfortunately, he has a restless and ambitious personality, making it impossible for him to settle down and cultivate Taoism. He's inconsistent in his efforts, never completing anything properly. After seven or eight years, his Taoist skills are barely even rudimentary.

Ade is the junior apprentice. Compared to his senior apprentice, he's a bit more obedient, but he's slow-witted and is often treated like a fool by Aqiang, being ordered around and made to run errands. As for his Taoist skills... well, they're about the same...

The only consolation was that while these two disciples were not good at cultivating Taoism, they were quite skilled at fighting, and they had some respect for their master.

Uncle Nine suddenly felt something cool under his nose, reached down and wiped it; it was blood from his nose.

His expression changed slightly. Could it be that he was poisoned during the battle with the bandits?
To avoid being seen by those around him, he hurried to the mortuary, sat cross-legged on the bed, circulated his internal energy, and checked his body. Strangely, there was no poison...

Just then, he looked up at the night sky outside the window and saw a shooting star faintly streak across the starry sky. He immediately calculated and felt a strange sense of unease.

An uninvited guest has arrived in Baiyun Village!

In the woods outside the village, Li Xuan looked at the corpses of several bandits lying on the ground and the bloodstains on the weeds, and thought to himself, it seems that I just happened to be there when the plot begins.

He followed the path and soon saw the entrance to the village with the words "Baiyun Village" hanging on it.

Two people were standing guard at the entrance to the village.

Li Xuan stepped forward.

The two men immediately gripped the broadswords at their waists and coldly demanded, "Speak! Who are you from?"

In the dead of night, ordinary people wouldn't come out, so they must be either thieves or criminals! Although they were questioning them, they were slowly forming an encirclement and moving closer.

Li Xuan clasped his hands and said, "I am Li Xuan, a wandering hermit, passing through this place. I have come to visit my fellow Daoist Lin Jiu, also known as your Ninth Uncle."

Although Uncle Jiu has a bit of a temper, he will definitely lend a helping hand when someone is in trouble, from minor ailments like headaches and fevers to major issues like fighting the bandits together. Therefore, he has a very high reputation in the village and is highly respected.

The gatekeeper frowned. Did he come up here wanting to see Uncle Nine?
They planned to capture Li Xuan first. In this time of fear and uncertainty, it was always better to be cautious than to let the innocent go free.

Just as they launched their attack, Li Xuan raised his index finger and tapped twice. They felt their flesh and blood instantly turn into ice, their broadswords clattered to the ground, and they couldn't move their limbs at all...

witchcraft!

A sorcery even more powerful than that bandit leader's!
The gatekeeper was immediately filled with despair, thinking he was doomed. But then Li Xuan smiled and said, "I am not a bad person. Please introduce me to Fellow Daoist Lin Jiu. Tell him that the judge of Fengdu has come to see me."

As soon as the words fell, the two gatekeepers returned to normal. They were horrified. This method was like that of a god. If the bandit leader had just pointed like that, they would have been helpless and lambs to the slaughter.

They dared not delay, not even to pick up the knife on the ground, and hurriedly turned back and ran into the village.

In the mortuary, Uncle Nine saw a shooting star and felt something was amiss, so he set up an altar to perform a ritual, hoping to predict the village's fortune and find a way to avert disaster.

He stood on the Seven Stars, brandishing his peach wood sword, and pointed his left hand in the air with his sword finger, lighting the candles on both sides.

The flames flickered with the wind from the sword, then went out...

Uncle Nine: "Hmm?"

He extended his sword finger and pointed again: "Take this!" This fire is no ordinary fire, but the fire of human qi. How could it be easily blown out by the wind?

The candles lit by the senior monks on Maoshan Mountain would not go out even in a raging storm.

call……

The candle went out again.

Uncle Nine's expression turned serious again. In the Xuanmen, nothing is accidental. The fact that the altar had been extinguished twice in a row meant that opening it would not benefit him...

Bang bang bang!
There was a knock on the door in the courtyard.

Uncle Nine stepped forward and removed the door bolt. Seeing that the person who came was the village gate guard, he asked, "We just defeated the bandits, and it's not time for you to change shifts yet. Why did you leave your post without permission? Aren't you afraid that the bandits will come back?"

One of the men, dressed in gray linen, said, “No, Uncle Jiu, a young man with slicked-back hair and dressed in Western clothes came in. He specifically asked to see you. We were worried he was a thief, so we tried to subdue him. But before we could even get close, he raised his finger and pointed it from seven or eight feet away, and we were paralyzed!”

Another person chimed in, "But he didn't hurt us. After setting us free, he said he wanted to see you again! We couldn't fight him, so we had no choice but to come back and ask you."

Uncle Nine: "..."

Sometimes he really couldn't keep up with the villagers' way of thinking. If a strongman really came to attack, he would leave one person behind to appease him and send another to inform them.

Now that both of them have arrived, it's safe to assume that the other person has also arrived.

Uncle Jiu sighed: "You all go back and let the next shift guard the village gate."

He walked out of the courtyard and turned to look at the road he had come from at the village entrance. Sure enough, a young man in a Western-style shirt was walking slowly towards him, looking calm and composed, as if he were taking a stroll in the village.

When Li Xuan saw Uncle Jiu, he gave him a Taoist bow and said, "Fellow Daoist, I greet you."

He was a Fengdu judge under the Fengdu Beiyin Emperor, not a Taoist priest of the Fengyue sect. Therefore, he was a pure Fengdu lineage priest and could not be considered a Taoist priest in the strict sense.

Seeing that the other party seemed to have no ill intentions, Uncle Nine returned the greeting: "So you are a fellow Daoist. May I ask what brings you to Baiyun Village so late at night?"

Li Xuan cut to the chase, saying, "I am a judge of Fengdu, traveling far and wide. I have seen that people cannot distinguish between good and evil, and that the balance of Yin and Yang is in chaos, causing unnecessary trouble and disrupting the law. Therefore, I wish to establish the Fengdu Legal Teachings to teach people to read and write, to know good and evil, black and white, and to respect the law. I have heard that there is a Taoist named Lin Jiu in Baiyun Village, who is righteous, hates evil, and is deeply loved by the people. That is why I have come to visit you, hoping that fellow Taoists can lend me a hand..."

Judges of Fengdu?

Even the well-informed Uncle Nine was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

He went through the information in his mind several times but still couldn't find anything related to the Judge of Fengdu. He couldn't help but say, "Please forgive my ignorance, but since ancient times there have been many sects, shamans, Taoists, monks, and foreign priests, etc., I know a little about them all, but I have never heard of the title Judge of Fengdu. However, I have heard a lot about Fengdu City in the underworld. Could it be that you have something to do with Fengdu City?"

Li Xuan made no attempt to conceal anything and stated directly, "That's right. In my early years, I was harmed by evil spirits. I accidentally stumbled into the Fengdu Temple and became a disciple of the Great Emperor of Beiyin Fengdu. I obtained the Fengdu Law, received a salary, and was registered as a Fengdu Judge. To this day, I am a registered mid-level initial rank, and have been promoted to disciple of the Beiji Xuantian Secret Record, a clerk of the Tianyi Zhenqing Palace, and a Grand Judge of the Yousheng Mansion..."

Uncle Nine: "What is this guy talking about?"

If the City God were here right now, seeing Uncle Nine's expression, he would surely clap his hands and laugh, "That's right, finally someone understands how I feel..."
