Headless Immortal

Chapter 84 Divine Skill
Only then did Lu Xun, the black cat, learn the common name of the Yellow Robe Taoist.

Chen Jing.

He is a high-ranking official of the Lushan sect.

After all the righteous men had arrived, Master Lü arrived late. It must be said that Lü Qian was a handsome man with a fine beard, and looked to be in his forties.

At this age, having reached this position, his heart was naturally burning with passion, hence the impassioned speech, as if he would be ashamed if he didn't eliminate the monsters.

Whether it was encouragement or empty promises, in short, there was not only a reward but also the right to purchase the land deed for Qingquan Temple.

He then left the side hall under the pretext of being busy with official business, leaving Constable Qian to take full responsibility for the matter.

As soon as Master Lü left, everyone present immediately became lively.

Qian Xiong nodded to the capable person.

Both the old and young masters possess true energy; the swordsmen and martial arts masters appear quite remarkable; and the sorceresses and temple priests are quite skilled in magic.

Not to mention the Confucian scholars from Donglin Temple, Lushan Sect, and Bailudong Academy, whose methods are no weaker than his own. With him leading such an elite demon-slaying team, it seems far more powerful than the demon-suppressing captains of the three judicial departments of the imperial court.

He could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The complaints about Master Lü lessened somewhat.

"The thing is like this..."

Qian Xiong recounts approximately when the monster appeared and in what form.

The main focus is still on those who receive gold and jewels.

The earliest discovered murder case and a series of other murder cases.

……

The black cat wandered into the heavens.

He had heard of these cases and had some suspicions about the existence of monsters; he was just waiting to follow the clues to find their lair.

The only worry is that he might stumble upon the monster's lair but be no match for it.

The droopy cat's eyes slowly rolled around.

Those present were all true cultivators with magical powers, who could potentially offer assistance.

You need to be strong yourself to forge iron. No matter how powerful others are, it will be troublesome if they can't get their heads into his hands.

How can Wutongshan Jun continue to rise without bone meal?

'Crush.'

[Obtained Ashes: Nine Coins]

The skull of Zhang Sixi, the notorious bandit from Meilan County

'Crush.'

[Obtained ashes: 8 qian]

Old Cat frowned slightly. Even if they had refined their true qi, the bone money that humans could measure was still lower than that of spirits. So far, only the bandit leader and the chieftain Chen Sheng had reached two.

Shift your gaze to the martial artist's head.

'Ugh. '

People who feel sorrow for their own kind are prone to melancholy.

The shop Lu Xun ran was basically like a镖局 (armed escort service). He was diligent and conscientious, never coveting anything from his employers, and even suppressing his curiosity. He earned a pittance every day to make a living, saving all the money he saved. He didn't want to spend a single penny recklessly, only wanting to buy a medical pod for his family.

Unfortunately, he follows the rules, while others don't.

Then I understood.

Whether in ancient or modern times, might makes right.

Crushed.

[Received ashes: 1.2 taels]

Lu Xun didn't examine the remaining six heads closely; he pulverized them all into ashes.

[Received ashes: one tael]

Cremated remains: 3.9 taels

Almost.

The alligator leader is skilled in water combat and cannot be crushed; at least until other water-based monsters replace him, he remains indispensable.

We still need to get the head of the Dou family patriarch out.

Lu Xun originally thought that since the Dou family's lawsuit was still ongoing, Magistrate Lü might bring it up at any time, so he didn't want to involve Lao Cheng in the trouble.

Now that we're short a little money for ashes, there's no guarantee that the magic that's already entered the inner sanctum might advance even further. Out of five, that's a 60% chance, which isn't small.

They reached over with their paws.

Cheng Yan, who was listening to Constable Qian recount the case, paused for a moment and turned to look at the black cat paw.

bass.

The cat's paws are outstretched.

Cheng Yan followed suit, and then the cat's paw wrote two words in his palm.

silver.

Cheng Yan was surprised and didn't know what Uncle Cat wanted the silver for, but he still took out a silver ingot from his pocket, which weighed about two taels. The old cat carried the silver away into the shadows of the hall.

Despite having many questions, Cheng Yan shrugged and didn't ask any further.

Uncle Cat has always had his own ideas.

As soon as Lu Xun stepped out, a 'beep' sound came from the eaves.

The spindle-headed hawk tilted its head and looked at the black cat.

That day, the troops were divided to leave Toothless to guard the students of the academy, but they were unexpectedly dutiful and stayed by his side without leaving for a moment.

Lu Xunmiao asked a question.

Even monsters need to eat, let alone those who have become spirits without teeth, who are at the age when they have a big appetite, so he asked if they had eaten.

'Beep.'

As expected, I didn't eat it.

It wasn't that Yang Shen and Ma Ye overlooked the eagle; the two of them had offered dried meat and food, but Toothless refused to eat the food they provided.

"Meow."

Lu Xun gave a brief instruction, told Wuya to wait for him under the eaves, and then ran off towards the morgue.

The two constables were still on duty. Neither of them could stay still, and they couldn't possibly keep an eye on the door all the time. They would slip into the hall in a flash, sniff around, and find the head of the Dou family patriarch.

The black cat patted its head and disappeared, then placed the silver coin it was carrying on its head.

The cat walks away.

Climb onto the roof.

Meow.

Toothless immediately flapped its seven-foot wings and hooked its iron claws onto the cat's body.

The eagle carried the cat high into the sky.

A few moments.

The two strange creatures arrived at the riverbank at the east end of the city.

Head transplant.

The black cat transformed into a crocodile, plunged into the water, and its nictitating membrane covered its black eyes.

Lu Xun felt the comfort of the water flowing over his belly. The pig-like dragon, which was originally humanoid, transformed into a six-foot-tall crocodile. He easily caught fish in the Xunyang River and caught several large grass carp in no time.

There were also plenty of grass carp and crucian carp.

Lu Xun grabbed some reeds from the surrounding area, twisted them into a rope, and threaded it through the fish's gills

"Gurgle."

Lu Xun, the alligator dragon, touched his mouth. His cry sounded like a pig's roar, with a hint of a drumbeat.

Replace it with Wutongshan Jun.

Light a fire and grill the fish.

Monsters have their advantages; they are very strong, and sparks fly whenever they burrow into something.

Unfortunately, there was no salt or other seasonings.

In short, cooked is better than raw.

Toothless couldn't wait to swallow a two-foot-long grass carp.

Wutongshan Jun became a barbecue chef.

After finishing three large fish, Toothless let out a satisfied burp.

"Remember to find something to eat if you get hungry."

Lu Xun stretched out his white claws to groom the toothless creature's feathers.

"Di."

The toothless creature flapped its wings and nodded slightly.

Grey and Toothless are both at the stage where they can understand speech but can't speak it yet; perhaps they'll have to wait until they fully become monsters.

They need someone to teach them to speak.

Otherwise, he'll be like Mr. White Deer, who speaks out at the slightest inspiration.

Lu Xun wasn't particular about speaking, since both animal and monster languages ​​could convey meaning.

If you don't interact with people, being able to understand is enough.
