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

Lin Zheng took action and instantly brought the situation under control.

After Lin Ye forced out Ma Buyu's murderous aura, he followed his master's instructions completely. This was the first time he had ever seen anything like it.

"Master, what exactly is going on with this iron-sealed coffin?"

"General Liu has fallen out with the foreigners in Hanjiang City. Those foreigners, in league with the Mogu Dao, blew up a waterway in the Hanjiang River. This thing that was being suppressed inside escaped when the waterway was destroyed."

As he spoke, he looked at Ma Buyu, who was still unconscious, with a cold smile on his face.

"The Ma family outside the pass makes a living through their own abilities. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for them to come out with such poor skills?"

He looked at the forestry layout next to him, nodded and said, "That iron coffin is indeed related to the river god of the Han River. You were right to use realgar mixed with lime."

Lin Ye reacted quickly, immediately asking, "Master, you mean... that thing is..."

Lin Zheng raised his hand, signaling that they should not continue discussing these matters by the water.

The master and apprentice greeted everyone and first took Ma Buyu and Mei Lingyun back to the mortuary.

As for the iron coffin on the riverbank, Lin Zheng affixed a talisman to it, and then placed willow branches on the south side, corresponding to the Vermilion Bird and Black Tortoise positions, while on the north side, he poured black dog blood on the "trapping nails" brought by Lin Ye and smashed them there.

This temporarily trapped the evil energy in the iron coffin. Then, he took his apprentice back to the mortuary to discuss countermeasures.

……

After returning to the mortuary, Mei Lingyun and Ma Buyu still did not wake up.

Lin Hao fed them herbal soup, which he placed in Lin Ye's room.

Lin Ye watched as his master was carving a peach wood sword, while he played with the second nail in his hand.

It seems I was overthinking it; this iron coffin didn't come from the Western Lands, but from the bottom of the Han River in Hanyang Province.

"Master, what do you think of the foreigners and Commander Liu's side...?"

"Although the foreigners are very arrogant now, General Liu's influence in Hanyang over the years is not to be underestimated. But no matter how they fight, when it comes to the people of Qingshi Town, it's like a landslide. So, we have to get this stuff into the water as soon as possible."

Lin Ye nodded, then said, "Master, when it comes to this skill, the Ma family is the best. They are the most adept at crossing the boundaries of the underworld."

He looked into the room and saw that Ma Buyu, the most reliable member of the Ma family, was currently fast asleep, his body affected by the evil energy.

Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, Lin Zheng immediately let out a cold laugh.

"Him? He's not even as good as you! No matter how reckless you are, at least you know you'll cause trouble. You handled this very well."

As Lin Zheng spoke, he took out two purple talismans from the cloth bag next to him and handed them to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye had seen this thing before when Lin Hao was dealing with Mei Lingyun's accident.

Sanbao said that this thing was refined in a special way by his master's master, that is, their grandmaster, when he was at Shangqing Maoshan, and it was extremely precious.

"Second brother, your eldest brother will be keeping watch tonight. You have to come with me to send away this deadly thing. If we're talking about how dangerous it is, it's probably no less dangerous than that sorcerer from the Altar Sect."

Lin Ye nodded and received the incantation for using the talisman from his master.

(You obtained two talismans from the disheartened Taoist priest. The remaining Taoist essence of the [Three Caverns Green-Clad Uncle] helped you dispel the gaze of the [Celestial Master Taoist True Lord].)

(The Ferocious God has noticed you. He recalls that you previously killed "Human Witch Ji Qian," weakening "Human Teng Technique." The Ferocious God is satisfied with your team. You obtain the low-level Taoist technique [Ferocious Killing Technique] from the "Ferocious Killing Seal.")

(Originally a disciple of Uncle Qingyi, the Ferocious General became a Yin General and wreaked havoc in the 'Three Yin Realms'. The [Ferocious Killing Technique] is a spell he passed down to the turbid world. It uses 'Geng Metal' and 'Yang Fire' as offerings to kill evil spirits.)

Lin Ye was immediately stunned. Touching the purple talisman could actually gain the favor of the Zhen God General, and even force Ji Qian to give him a reward.

[Qi and Blood: 17] (Method: Ferocious Killing Technique)

[Strength: 11] (Method: Life Fire Furnace)

[Agility: 10]

[Fate/Dirty]: ...

[Turbid Vessel]: ...

Lin Ye noticed that, without realizing it, his spiritual sense had quietly increased a little.

He remembered that to advance from the initial stage of cultivation to the next stage (the Bridge of Immortality), he needed 20 points in both spiritual consciousness and vital energy. Now, he was only three points short of each of these two dimensions.

Especially after solving the problem of the human-faced sores, Lin Ye's spiritual consciousness was liberated, and his improvement speed was comparable to leaps and bounds.

From the initial "Spiritual Vision," it progressed to "Seeing the Turbid Qi," and now to the "Azure Robe Qi Observation Method." This represents an advancement across three stages of techniques.

"call……"

This turbid world is truly fascinating; the more you understand it, the more you discover a bunch of demons and monsters lurking in the fog.

"What are you standing there for? Pack your things and come with me."

"oh oh."

Lin Zheng interrupted Lin Ye's thoughts. It was clear that the iron coffin that had suddenly appeared on the riverbank was a very troublesome matter for Lin Zheng. It was even as dangerous as demons and monsters.

The master and apprentice returned to the riverbank under the moonlight. As for the people of Qing Shi Town, Lin Zheng had instructed them in advance not to go out no matter what happened that night.

Senior Brother Lin Hao stayed behind in the town, and he brought Lin Ye to see the iron coffin off.

Just then, white mist suddenly rose in front of the Qinghua River, while a cold wind rose behind the master and his apprentice.

Lin Ye saw what appeared to be a woman's white shadow flash by in the cold wind behind him.

Before Lin Ye could even get a good look at the woman's attire, he heard his master say, "Mr. Liu, thank you for your help this time."

The moonlight obscured the view, and white mist from the river drifted towards the forestry area.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang in Lin Ye's ears.

"That thing is related to a big shot in the water. The big shot is angry and wants to eat people alive."

The voice was that of Aunt Liu Er from the flowing tree on Daqingshan Mountain.

"Eat people? You're nothing but a trapped dragon, what a boastful tone! Mr. Liu, I've been guarding this town for over ten years, this is my home."

After Lin Zheng finished speaking, he walked straight ahead.

Lin Ye nodded to the shadows behind him, as if to greet Aunt Liu. She was Mei Lingyun's godmother, and since he had gained opportunities and benefits from Mei Lingyun, he naturally had to show some courtesy.

Then he followed his master toward the riverbank.

At this moment, what stood before the two on the river was a huge painted boat.

As the lights came on, the interior was once again filled with the sounds of singing and dancing. Only a faint, fishy smell made Lin Ye wrinkle his nose.
