From the beginning of this turbid world, the Taoist priest descended the mountain.

Goose City, Huang Silang's Residence

Huang Silang sat at the front table, looking at the person who had just arrived. The person was wearing a light brown long robe and had a refined and handsome face, but the only thing that stood out was the right hand he held up the teacup with. The little finger of his right hand had long nails.

He also had a thin braid at the back of his head.

"I've remembered the kid named 'Fang Can' that Mr. Feng mentioned. But how could Mr. Feng, with his methods combined with the secret techniques of the [Spirit Binding Gate], have failed?"

The man sat in the guest seat, enjoying Huang Silang's Wuyi Da Hong Pao tea. He blew the tea leaves from his lips and drank the tea.

"A few days ago, I went to Qing Shi Town and triggered the human-faced sores on his body. Normally, Fang Can would have died without a doubt, but for some reason, I recently sensed that his life force has been rekindled, which may mean he has had another extraordinary encounter."

Upon hearing this, Huang Silang smiled without showing any emotion.

The Southern "Julingmen" participated in the suppression of the revolutionaries along with them, and judging from their background alone, the Julingmen has some connection to the previous dynasty.

Huang Silang didn't really want to deal with these people, but whether they were former officials of the previous dynasty or newly rich people of the Republic of China, he always had only one principle.

He'll side with whoever wins; he's not called the "Iron-Willed Lord" for nothing.

Feng Tingyu sized up the most powerful man in Goose City, and after a long while, he said, "Master Huang, this is not just a matter for our [Spirit-Binding Gate]. Our Governor-General Han of Nanhuai and your Commander Liu have a good relationship. You have many things that cannot be shipped out without our port."

Upon hearing this, Huang Silang slowly narrowed his eyes and looked at the man from Nanhuai, a hint of murderous intent flashing across his face.

But he quickly laughed and said, "What are you saying, Mr. Feng? The relationship between Governor Han and Marshal Liu is like that between brothers. Leave everything about Fang Can to me."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Huang."

After Feng Tingyu left, Huang Silang sneered. Hu Wan, who was standing next to him, came out from inside and looked at Huang Silang.

"Sir, over to the north. Mr. Yamamoto from Japan is willing to talk to us. After all, opium and 'human sheep' are scarce in the north. Mr. Yamamoto is currently in Hanjiang City."

Huang Silang nodded with a smile on his face. The Governor Han that Feng Tingyu mentioned was nothing more than a good-for-nothing who had been driven to the south by the "Northern Bandit Marshal".

"How is Ji Qian doing?"

Upon hearing Ji Qian's name, Hu Wan's face showed a hint of fear. After a long pause, he spoke, "He should have already started his magical duel with Lin Zheng. Master, these demons from the Tan'er Sect are truly terrifying. If we continue playing with them, I'm afraid..."

"Aren't the Japanese coming? Ji Qian is still no match for us. If we win this contest, we've dealt a blow to the county magistrate. If we lose, Ji Qian's death will clean up the mess in Goose Town. My Huang family has been loyal and virtuous for generations, and we have never associated with cults."

Upon hearing this, Hu Wan's face immediately lit up with joy. As expected of the master, he had made a move that left him completely unperturbed.

Take it!

In his view, his master's talent was definitely that of a prime minister in ancient times.

……

As night fell, a night wind began to blow.

Lin Ye looked at Sanbao following behind him and said helplessly, "Tonight we're killing someone, a dark and windy night for murder, you know? The kind that involves bloodshed."

Sanbao was slender, but his eyes were very determined as he followed behind Lin Ye.

"Second Brother, what are you saying? You are Master's disciple, and so am I. You and Eldest Brother are charging ahead, how can I hide anymore? Master has already protected my sister and me so much, I remember Master's kindness. But I am also Master's disciple."

Sanbao, that kid, can be infuriating sometimes with his words, but he never makes mistakes when it comes to crucial matters of right and wrong.

Having read so many time-travel novels, I've noticed that the protagonists always have problematic families when they travel to other worlds. They either have a biased grandfather or a disgusting aunt.

The protagonist is either struggling to survive in extreme hunger and cold, or he is at the very bottom of society.

The three senior brothers in the forestry department are of one mind, and their master is benevolent; such a situation is rare even in the world of online literature.

This is why Lin Ye feels such a sense of belonging to this world, to his master and senior brothers.

Strength can be improved, but true feelings are hard to maintain.

But just then, Sanbao suddenly jumped up and mysteriously patted Lin Ye on the shoulder.

"Second Brother, I saw it just now. Sister Mei's gaze towards you was strange. This Sister Mei has great fortune. Although she is just the daughter of the Mei family's rice shop owner, she has the air of a noblewoman. If you marry her, it's like gaining good fortune. I know you intend to cultivate, but replenishing yang with yin is also a righteous path. A man still needs to find a woman who can help him."

forestry:"……"

He looked around for a stick. "Master, you didn't hit the third brother hard enough."

As for why Master sent Sanbao with Lin Ye to "ambush" Ji Qian, in the words of the eldest brother, it was because Sanbao had a natural spiritual eye, plus some luck, ensuring his safety on the journey.

But Lin Ye always felt that his master and senior brother were hiding something from them.

If this trip is dangerous, then it's better to go alone; bringing Sanbao along is clearly inappropriate.

"Second Brother, you've been thinking too much since you've become enlightened. Your excessive thinking is really not good for your cultivation. To put it bluntly, Senior Brother is the disciple who transmits the scriptures and is responsible for passing on the entire sect's legacy. If Xuan Guang Cave wants to grow bigger and stronger, only you and I, Second Brother, are the mainstay."

forestry:"……"

I will tell everything you said today to my senior brother.

The two brothers walked away from Qing Shi Town. In the darkness and mist, the voices calling their names could be heard from time to time.

But Lin Ye's life force ignited the furnace, and the yang fire energy on his body directly repelled those things from getting close.

Sanbao has also successfully ignited his furnace during this period, and now possesses the energy of yang fire. Although his progress is not as rapid as that of Lin Ye, he has at least gained the ability to protect himself.

Soon, the two left Qing Shi Town.

Turning his head to look at Qing Shi Town shrouded in an eerie mist, Sanbao said with a lingering fear, "This time, Ji Qian from Tan'er Sect is truly willing to use any means necessary to defeat Master. If we really let him..."

"He won't win, because I'm here," Lin Ye said firmly.

After leaving Qing Shi Town, Lin Ye found an open space and immediately used the "Five Ghosts Knocking on the Barrier Technique" that he had learned from his master Lin Zheng during the day.

The 'root symbol' brought 'inspiration' into my mind.

Lin Ye took a willow branch from the old Qingshan Liu Ershen behind him and drew a talisman on the ground.

Using willow essence as a brush and yang energy as ink, Lin Ye immediately employed this newly learned secret technique.

There is a folk technique called "Five Ghosts Moving the Way," which uses five ghosts from different directions to change a person's fortune.

In a sense, the "Five Ghosts Knocking on the Gate Technique" of Xuanguang Cave is similar to this thing.

However, the Five Ghosts Knocking on the Gate Technique doesn't attract five-colored wealth energy, but rather the feng shui and spiritual energy of the land. It may also attract unclean or unclean things.

The forestry department chose to use this method here, which was of course based on its own ideas, namely, to use a feint to the east while attacking in the west in coordination with its master.

He turned his head to look towards the direction of the Qing Shi Town mortuary, where a blue light appeared, indicating that his master had already taken action.

As for Lin Ye himself, after he finished drawing the talisman on the ground, the surroundings were immediately filled with yin energy, and only the sound of footsteps could be heard.

Sanbao, who was standing next to him, seemed to sense something. He turned his head and looked at Lin Ye with shock and disbelief.

"Second brother, is this magic? Did Master teach you?"

He usually liked to call Lin Ye "Second Brother" and Lin Hao "Senior Brother".

"Um."

As the talisman rose, within Lin Ye's vision of the blue-robed qi technique, Lin Ye saw the surrounding yin energy beginning to converge here, and a faint shimmering light appeared on the Qinghua River not far away.

But what came from the southeast was a thick, foul odor.

Lin Ye used the "Five Ghosts Knocking on the Gate" technique here to disrupt the local energy, and then coordinate with Lin Zheng at the mortuary to take action.

Now, not only has he achieved his goal, he has also found Ji Qian's location.

……

Qingshi Town, Tan'er Church Altar.

Ji Qian sensed that the surrounding energy was becoming chaotic. He had just released the Ghost Scout, intending to launch a surprise attack on the mortuary.

However, he underestimated the strength of the mortuary. Not only did his "Ghost Scout" not return, but it seemed that he had also been killed there.

He had originally planned to launch a surprise attack, but he lost the first round.

However, Ji Qian was not surprised by this. Because he himself was forcing Lin Zheng to take action against him, because only in this way could the things in the two jars next to him find the way.

At this moment, the things in the jars and pots next to it were no longer there.

Ji Qian let out a cold laugh.

"Does he really think I'm uneducated? Sending his second disciple to stir up trouble while he tries to sit back and relax in Qing Shi Town? Not so easy!"

The "demons and monsters" Granny Tan, whom he invited from Black Mountain, was already starving, and the entire town of Qing Shi was the blood food he prepared for Granny Tan.

But before that, he needs Granny Tan to help him get rid of the Taoist priest at the mortuary.

As for the forestry department that was about to arrive, he already had countermeasures and preparations.

Tonight will be the end of everything.

……

In Qingshi Town, ghostly figures loomed in front of a house.

"Honey, the white fog in town has been lingering for days. And Old Li's daughter went out during the day and hasn't returned yet."

A woman is holding a child and talking to the man next to her.

The man had his back to the mother and child and did not answer.

Instead, he kept banging his head against the wall.

"Honey, say something! What happened? What's going on?"

The woman also sensed that something was wrong with her husband, so she immediately stepped forward and pushed him.

The man turned his head, his face ashen, and on his bare chest was a clump of black hair, which peeked out from a crack in the wall and burrowed directly into his flesh.

Black hair swayed between the man's skin and flesh.

The woman screamed upon seeing this horrifying scene.
