Chapter 29 The Aftermath Destroy and destroy. This word can be used to describe Tao Tie's killing of Li Zeyuan without any injury. Huang Junshi, who was protecting in secret, had thought that Tao Tie, who was obviously harboring a secret, might be relatively relaxed when dealing with Li Zeyuan, whose martial arts essence had been severely eroded by the statue of the Five Evil God. After a hard fight, even if he couldn't defeat or even kill Li Zeyuan, he could still escape unscathed. At that time, it would be time for him, the coach, to step in and clean up the mess. But Huang Junshi never thought that Tao Tie would kill Li Zeyuan so easily. What's more, the method used was actually the evil-repelling talisman, which shocked Huang Junshi extremely! As we all know, the ninth-grade demon catcher affiliated with the Demon-Slaying Department and the Demon-Extermination Department is equipped with three kinds of talismans as standard: the talisman to ward off evil spirits, the talisman to slay demons, and the talisman to kill ghosts. The talisman to ward off evil spirits is used against demons, the talisman to slay monsters is used against monsters, and the talisman to kill ghosts is used against ghosts. Li Zeyuan is a human being. Even if the essence of his martial arts was severely eroded by the statue of Wutong Evil God, at most he was just contaminated with some evil spirit. Why does the talisman against evil spirits have such amazing effects?
Li Zeyuan was burned to ashes in an instant! This situation only occurs when targeting the lowest level of demons. So, when did Li Zeyuan degenerate into a devil? Why did he fall into depravity and become a demon? Huang Junshi couldn't help but look at the sculpture of twisted tree roots, which were so frightened by the Taotie phantom imagined by Tao Tie that they dared not move at all. It seems that this sculpture is not just a statue of Wutong Evil God. It also hides some mysteries. For example...robbery! Thinking of this possibility, Huang Junshi's brows moved slightly, and a change that looked like a vertical eye flashed across his face quickly. A ray of golden light appeared in the blink of an eye, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared. Huang Junshi, however, has already seen through the essence of the twisted tree root sculpture. "It's really a robbery weapon!" Muttering to himself, Huang Junshi began to think about how to properly deal with the sculpture of twisted tree roots. But after a moment, he thought of how to deal with this rather tricky thing. Then another doubt arose in my mind. When and how did Tao Tie realize that Li Zeyuan was no longer a pure human being and had degenerated into a demon? This is a question worth thinking about. After all, Tao Tie is only a ninth-grade cultivator. Compared with the fifth-grade cultivator Huang Junshi, there should be a big gap between them in terms of realm, cultivation, and eyesight. But it turned out that it was the ninth-rank cultivator Tao Tie who discovered the problem that the fifth-rank cultivator Huang Junshi did not notice. Who would believe it if I said there was no reason? However, Huang Junshi had no intention of exploring it. Everyone has his own fate and it cannot be forced.
What's more, Huang Junshi was used to being indifferent and had no intention of competing for anything. He just wanted to spend his days leisurely in the Liuxian County Mission House. If you find a good seedling or a little one that you like, you will give him or her some support. Apart from this, there is no other interest or ambition. Huang Junshi, who was hiding in the dark, quickly calmed down the waves in his heart, but Tao Tie was not so easy to calm down. This is not the first time that Tao Tie has faced death in his two lifetimes. As a former medical worker, Tao Tie had seen a lot of death and had experienced it once himself, but this was the first time he had ended someone's life with his own hands. Witnessing death, experiencing death, and causing death are completely different experiences and feelings. The only thing that made Tao Tie feel fortunate was that Li Zeyuan died very quietly, peacefully even, without screams or blood flying. There wasn't even the pungent smell of burning corpses. This gave Tao Tie a little more time to calm down and get out of his state of shock. He then started to think about one thing: As both of them were lower-rank ninth-grade cultivators, why could he kill Li Zeyuan so easily! Is it because of the magical powers [Clairvoyance] and [Super Hearing]? Is it because of the [Taotie Visualization Method]? Is it because of the evil-repelling talisman? No, neither! It’s because of [Knowing Everything], it’s because of information fragments! Because he understood Li Zeyuan's condition and weaknesses! Because he knew the best way to kill Li Zeyuan! After this incident, Tao Tie suddenly remembered a sentence. He found that this sentence best revealed the role of the golden finger [Knowing Everything] and the maximum height that could be reached in theory. “Omniscience is omnipotence.” Tao Tie murmured those words silently to himself, his heart was filled with turmoil, but at the same time he also had an epiphany. Perhaps this is the path he wants to take. Omniscient! Omnipotent! Because He knows all things, He is omniscient; because He knows all things, He is omnipotent. If you think about it carefully, doesn’t the experience of the past two months indirectly reflect this point? With the help of [Knowing All Things], Tao Tie did not encounter any difficulties whether it was guiding, reading, collecting herbs, practicing qi, practicing magic, or completing the task of catching monsters. All problems can be easily solved! Including this time, I originally thought it might be a tough battle. "It's always hard to accept the first time you kill someone." Huang Junshi suddenly emerged from the darkness and appeared beside Tao Tie. He said in a gentle voice, "But you don't have much time to continue to be in a daze. This matter is not over yet." A word to awaken the dreamer. Hearing what Instructor Huang said, Tao Tie came back to his senses from his confused thoughts. My aunt and Jiaxuan's injuries have not been completely healed and their lives are still in danger. Minmin is also missing. Thinking of this, Tao Tie immediately continued to maintain his physical supernatural powers [Clairvoyance] and [Super Hearing] to search for Minmin's whereabouts.
"Save your spiritual awareness and mana." Huang Junshi's gentle voice sounded again, and he said with some deep meaning, "I don't know how you opened the secret of your physical body and cultivated the physical magical powers, and I don't want to know. I just want to tell you that before you become a sixth-grade cultivator or above and cultivate the Yin Spirit, don't activate the magical powers for a long time, especially the physical magical powers." "Yes, teaching." After listening to the advice and having a full meal, Tao Tie responded sincerely and immediately turned off his [Clairvoyance] and [Super Ear]. At the same time, Tao Tie looked at Instructor Huang eagerly. "See what I do?" Huang Junshi glanced at Tao Tie and said unhappily, "You don't even know the principle of darkness under the lamp, and you have cultivated the physical power of pupils." As he spoke, Huang Junshi waved his hand and pulled out Minmin, who was soaking wet and extremely pale, from the well in the yard. Li Zeyuan didn't hide Minmin anywhere else at all. Instead, he blocked Minmin's five senses and threw Minmin into the well at random. The well water was icy cold, and after her five senses were blocked, Minmin's body temperature dropped to a very low level. Her breathing was already weak and her heartbeat was almost stopped, making it even more difficult for Tao Tie to sense her, as he did not focus his search on Uncle Hui's courtyard. If Huang Junshi had not secretly come here, scanned with his spiritual sense, immediately discovered Minmin, and quietly injected a trace of magic power to maintain Minmin's life, Minmin would have died long ago. Huang Junshi did not say much about these inside stories, but just waved his sleeves gently. The aunt and Jiaxuan, who were sent to a safe area by Tao Tie using the Five Ghosts Moving Technique, immediately appeared in the yard and lay down with Minmin. It's just a moving technique. Huang Junshi can do it too. It's nothing special. Afterwards, Huang Junshi used the "Sweet Rain Technique" again, summoning a shower of sweet rain. The sweet rain, which was transformed by the wood element magic power and contained rich vitality, fell down and sprinkled on the little aunt, Jiaxuan, and Minmin. Whether it was the spiritual injury of the aunt, the internal and external injuries of Jiaxuan, or Minmin's frostbite, they were all healed. Uncle Hui hurried back home and finally ran back home breathlessly. He supported his knees with his hands and squatted slightly at the gate of the yard, looking at his wife and children who were lying side by side, as if they were just asleep and had recovered from the danger, and tears flowed silently. A forced smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Tiezi was standing in the yard, fine, with no injuries on his body, and an instructor from the missionary school was standing next to him. What did this mean? This means Li Zeyuan lost! "many……" After catching his breath a little, Uncle Hui stood up and wanted to thank the instructor at the missionary academy and his good friend. But before he could utter the word "thank you", Huang Junshi disappeared. When he left, he said, "Tao Tie, I'll be waiting for you at the Shahe Gang headquarters. Remember to take the statue with you. Be careful and don't touch it with your hands. The statue is a robbery weapon. If you touch it, you will be infected with robbery energy!" "This……" Uncle Hui swallowed the word "thank you", looked up at the clear blue sky after the rain, then looked at Tao Tie, not knowing what to say for a moment. Uncle Hui knew clearly that the teachers at the missionary academy were experts. only…… Do tall people like to move around high? Either he stepped on the flying sword and flew with it, or he flashed with golden light and disappeared without a trace.
"Uncle Hui, Aunt and the others are fine now. Li Zeyuan is dead too. You can live your life in peace from now on. There won't be any trouble." Tao Tie saw Uncle Hui's confusion and did not explain anything. He just told Uncle Hui what had happened truthfully. Then he drove five little ghosts to carry the statue of Wutong Evil God, hurriedly walked past Uncle Hui, and left Uncle Hui's house. Go to the Shahe Gang headquarters to meet with Instructor Huang. We can’t keep Instructor Huang waiting for too long. Uncle Hui turned around and glanced at Tao Tie's back, who had not yet learned the art of flying and could only rely on swinging his legs wildly, but was still running as fast as the wind, and sighed slightly. From then on, he and Tiezi were people from two different worlds. The little friendship we had in the past was completely destroyed after this incident. If we have the chance to meet again, we will not be strangers, but we will definitely not be as familiar as before. Maybe you can just nod and say hello and then walk away immediately? After sighing, Uncle Hui immediately calmed himself down, walked into the courtyard, carried his sleeping wife and children into the inner room one by one, and put them on the bed. Everyone has his own destiny. No matter what your fate is, you still have to live your life. On the other side, when Tao Tie left Uncle Hui's house and rushed to the Shahe Gang headquarters, more than half of his mind was focused on the two words said by Instructor Huang. Robbery energy and robbery weapons. Tao Tie knows the former, but what is the latter? Is it an object that contains calamity energy, or an object that breeds calamity energy? After making some guesses in his mind, Tao Tie simply used [Knowledge of All Things] to try and see if he could trigger new information fragments of the twisted tree root sculpture to find out the truth. [Strange Item: Statue of Wutong Evil God] [Information fragment 1: Rat, snake, pig, monkey, toad.] [Information fragment 2: The god of lust and evil, rampant in the countryside, raping other people's wives and daughters.] [Information fragment three: It contains a considerable amount of greed. Eating it can promote the growth of the Taotie phantom.] [Information fragment 4: Embers can be integrated into the Five Ghosts Moving Technique, increasing the variation range of the Five Ghosts Moving Technique and gaining inexplicable mysteries.] [Information Fragment 5: This is a robbery device, a device that carries robbery energy, a device that breeds robbery energy, and sentient beings who touch it will be infected with robbery energy. The Wutong God, who was originally a folk "improper worship" of the partial god of wealth, spread the method of making and worshipping statues. After a person in an unorthodox way learned about it, he changed some robbery devices into statues of the Wutong Evil God, successfully making the Wutong God an evil god who can only hide in the gutter, while he himself is free and at ease.] [Information fragment 6: When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring into you. To stay away from the abyss, start by staying away from the abyss weapon.] "Gan!" It really triggered new fragments of information, but after reading it, Tao Tie didn't feel the slightest bit of joy or excitement at discovering another feature of [Knowing Everything]. At this moment, he only felt fear. If he had not restrained his greed last time and did not let Taotie eat the greed in the statue of Wutong Evil God, he would have followed in the footsteps of Wutong Evil God. Hijacking weapon!
How could there be such a weird thing in the world? That's fucking outrageous. And that guy from the unorthodox sect who tricked the Five Evil Gods but lived freely and at ease himself, he’s quite awesome! How could the Great Yong Dynasty allow such an awesome person to exist? After spitting a few times, Tao Tie asked the five ghosts who were carrying the sculpture of twisted tree roots to move away from him, and then quickened his pace. He wanted to meet with Instructor Huang as soon as possible to ask for instructions on how to deal with this hot potato. I really don’t want to stay any longer! The layout of Liuxian County is that the east is rich, the west is noble, the south is poor, and the north is humble. The two main businesses of the Shahe Gang, river shipping and dock handling, although not noble industries, are at least a force in Liuxian County. Naturally, it is impossible to set up its headquarters in the poor and humble South City District and North City District. Of course, we don’t dare to set it up in Xicheng District. Tao Tie soon arrived at the entrance of the Shahe Gang headquarters in Dongcheng District. Instructor Huang was standing outside the gate of the Shahe Gang headquarters with his hands behind his back, looking at a round ball held in the mouth of a stone lion with great interest. It seemed that he could see a flower on it. Next to Instructor Huang, there was a woman in her twenties, observing the etiquette of a junior, standing with her hands hanging down, and obeying orders respectfully. The woman was tall and slender, with an upright posture, and she exuded a heroic spirit, like a sharp sword that was shining coldly even before it was unsheathed. But at this moment, this sharp sword had to lie dormant and dared not sound. "Come on, Tao Tie, come here for a moment." Huang Junshi waved to Tao Tie, called Tao Tie to his side, and then said to both parties, “Let me introduce you. This is Mo Yuhan, a top disciple of Jingling Mountain, the eldest daughter of the Shahe Gang, and the definite next gang leader. This is Tao Tie, who used to be a porter at Xiaomoqiao Wharf. Now he is a formal student at Liuxian County Missionary Academy and a ninth-rank Taoist monk. He just killed the manager of Xiaomoqiao Wharf of Shahe Gang who had set a trap to kill him. Well……" Huang Junshi paused for a moment before continuing, "The only relic left by that man after his death was an extremely valuable item. I wondered how a small dock manager could possibly own such a valuable item. That man must have stolen it from the Shahe Gang, so I asked Tao Tie to take it and return it to its original owner." After a pause, Huang Junshi emphasized his tone a little: "I think Miss Mo will definitely come forward on behalf of the Shahe Gang to receive this valuable item and handle it properly. There is no need for our Mission Institute to intervene, right?" Tao Tie had good eyesight. After hearing what Instructor Huang said, how could he not understand what he should do? He immediately ordered the Five Ghosts to drop the robbery weapon: the statue of the Five Evil God, and specifically threw it at the feet of Mo Yuhan, the eldest daughter of the Shahe Gang. The Five Ghosts are not ghosts. In essence, they are Tao Tie's clones, and they have intelligence. Therefore, they can sense from Tao Tie's strong emotions that the statue of the Five Evil God is not only a thing of no value, but also poisonous. Therefore, the action of the five ghosts throwing down the statue of Wutong Evil God was like throwing away a bag of smelly garbage. Mo Yuhan lowered his head to glance at the statue of the Five-Way Evil God at his feet. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and asked as calmly as possible: "Instructor Huang, just tell me how you want the Shahe Gang to compensate you." (End of this chapter)
