Chapter 113: Sitting in Wainansi Lin Yan bid farewell to Mr. Lu, changed his identity, and went home. Mr. Lu fell into deep thought. "The talisman I gave him still has its aura." "What's wrong?" Lu Tang couldn't help but ask. "Within seven days, the true energy that Yuan Tongye left in him has disappeared." Lord Lu said slowly: "But it was not dissipated by borrowing my talisman." "Could it be that he wasted it on his own?" Lu Tang asked in shock. "Maybe I got some chance in the outside world." Lu Gong thought, "Maybe this Nirvana Divine Egg has some unknown effect of mine." "Since Mr. Lu has not confirmed it, why don't you ask?" Lu Tang frowned. "Everyone has some secrets. If you ask too many questions, it will be detrimental to the relationship between the two parties." Lord Lu stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "When have you ever seen him ask about my secrets? He is a young man who knows his limits, which is one of the reasons why I like to interact with him..."
"By the way, Mr. Lu invited him to dinner tonight, but he didn't use the magic talisman to invite him to tea." Lu Tang whispered, "Has the ominous sign of him trampling on the rules of the night been eliminated?" "It's not dissolved, but it's contaminated with something extremely evil." Lord Lu's expression gradually became serious, and he said, "Lin Yan has the opponent's mark on him, which makes other powerful demons dare not fight for him!" "But he said that the pure land was destroyed and he also faced threats from evil spirits and big monsters!" Lu Tang frowned. "The powerful demons I mentioned are not the ones he encountered." Lord Lu said solemnly: "Even if they are spiritual demons, they are not powerful in my eyes." "So, he was able to return safely from leaving the city this time because that 'extremely vicious and evil' person had no intention of hunting him down?" Lu Tang thought for a moment and said, "This guy has no intention of hunting, but other powerful demons dare not hunt his 'prey'? On the contrary, ordinary demons cannot detect his 'mark', so they attack Lin Yan?" "That's pretty much what it means." After Lord Lu said this, he whispered, "Lin Yan was able to destroy the true qi left by Yuan Tongye, but he did not remove the 'mark'. It seems that the extremely evil thing is far more difficult to deal with than the Qi Refining Realm!" Lu Tang couldn't help but ask, "Did you personally name and report the death-demanding ghost lantern to Qifeng Mansion?" Lord Lu shook his head and said, "The Soul-Calling Ghost Lantern barely makes it into the rank of 'most vicious and evil', but it's still not strong enough." Lu Tang pondered and said, "Could it be a lonely boat in the strange fog?" Lord Lu shook his head again and said, "Although the Lonely Boat Strange Mist is ranked higher than the Soul-Calling Strange Lantern, it has been severely damaged in the past two nights." "According to speculation, the composition of the Lone Boat and Strange Fog is extremely complex." "That night, Lin Yan used his sword to scare away the lonely boat and the strange fog." "With the changes in the past two days, the situation inside Guzhou Guiwu has become more complicated. It seems that he is extremely angry with him. Even when the temple used a large amount of incense to ask him to leave, he even thought of giving up the incense and forcibly attacking the city." "I guess that Gu Zhou Gui Wu hated Lin Yan so much that he ignored the 'mark' and tried to kill him by force, which is why he was severely injured!" Lord Lu said this, and then he slowly said, “In that red dress, she has become more powerful than when Lin Yan first returned from the darkness a few days ago.” After letting out a breath, Lord Lu continued slowly, "Earlier, the temple used incense to drive away the evil spirits in the surrounding area. Among them was an old white flame ape. The Wutong Temple has confirmed that it died in the strange fog on the lonely boat!" "I speculate that after Guzhou Guiwu was severely damaged, it chose to devour a large amount of blood and souls in order to recover."
"Finally, we targeted the White Flame Ancient Ape, which is considered to be one of the more powerful demons in the surrounding area!" "This little white ape was probably able to escape under the protection of the old ape, but died in front of Lin Yan." "Come to think of it, Lin Yan seems to have fewer troubles..." Lord Lu rubbed his brows and said, "In fact, the level involved is higher and more dangerous... If it continues to develop, I am afraid I can't protect him." - When they returned home, my second brother and sister-in-law were obviously full of surprise. Lin Yan disappeared in the past two days. Although Mr. Lu mentioned that he was in Linjiang Division, he had not returned for many days. In addition, the sudden increase in the amount of silver in the house inevitably made people worried. My brother and his wife have been unable to sleep or eat well in the past two days. Seeing Lin Yan coming back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "This amount of silver was earned by me following the flag bearer Wu Chang and performing meritorious services." Lin Yan said this, and smiled, "Wu Chang will be promoted to the chief flag bearer from now on, and I am not capable enough, so I can only continue to be a small flag bearer. Since I cannot be promoted, I will be rewarded with money." He said this, and then said: "I live in Linjiangsi, brother and sister-in-law don't have to worry, but I often have to follow orders to inspect, and I can't always carry these silver coins with me, so it's best to leave them at home... Brother and sister-in-law can buy some things, and add some meat and vegetables to the daily meals. The child is still young and growing." He said this and then said to his second brother: "Let's save some more money and build a big house, big enough for five generations to live in." "You have made such a lot of money, and you have some ambitions." The second brother smiled and shook his head: "Such a big house, even Master Fangzheng can't live in it! I heard that there is a big house in the inner city, but the land in the inner city is very expensive. How many lifetimes will it take for us two brothers to save up for it?" "That's right, kid, don't be too...what?" The second sister-in-law was stunned for a moment and couldn't help thinking about it. "You are aiming too high." Lin Yan said in a low voice. "Yes! You are too ambitious!" The second sister-in-law advised: "You should work hard and find a wife first. Don't always think about buying a big house and becoming a master. Our family has no worries about food and drink, which is better than many families in the market!" "Yes." The second brother sighed, "In the streets, our family is considered pretty good... Didn't you hear what grandpa and his friends said when we were little? Living in exile outside the city, our lives were as cheap as grass." "Know it." Lin Yan didn't say much. He played with the two little kids for a while and then walked out of the yard. He patted the little guy in his arms and said, "After tonight, I will understand the 'Dian Cang Fu Ling' and 'Mechanical Puppetry' left by Mr. Lu. Starting tomorrow, you will be another me." "Steady!" The white-winged ape cub said crisply, "I have been smart since I was young, and my foundation is very good. It depends on whether the things you inherited from me will affect my pure and supreme wisdom." "..." Lin Yan took a deep breath. If this wasn't created by the Nirvana Divine Egg, he really wanted to draw his sword and chop it off to get some of the evil spirit back.
Then he jumped on his horse and headed straight for Wainansi. - The southern area of the outer city is the branch of the Jiantian Division. General Han left the city, and six leaders took his place temporarily to deal with the intelligence from all sides and the countermeasures. Xu Qing is one of them. He rubbed his brows and said, "Fortunately, the Jiejin people have been basically cleared out, so there won't be any more major incidents! But the defense has been empty recently, so we still need to be cautious!" Currently, there are no flag bearers in Qingshanfang and Linjiangfang. In the past two days, there have been many signs of crimes. Taking advantage of the chaos in the Jiantian Division and the Outer South Yamen...there were many criminals during that time. Especially in Linjiangfang, there are not only local residents but also foreign merchants, a mixed crowd of good and bad people. Although the aftermath of robbery has been cleared recently, there is still no shortage of crimes such as theft, murder, and flower theft in the city. "More importantly, an evil spirit appeared in Qingshanfang last night." Another middle-aged person in charge said, "I guess it was because the evil spirits attacked the city last time and fled into the city... There have been too many things going on in the past few days, so they haven't been able to clean it up." After the evil spirits attacked the city, the people who burned incense in Liuzun Temple were responsible for eliminating the evil spirits. But the Niujiao Mountain incident involved a wide range of people. Later, Mr. Jing was killed, the temple recalled the incense burners, and finally even prepared to wake up Liu Zun. Following closely on that, there was the murder of the night watchman, the incident at the slaughterhouse, and the assassination of the city lieutenant Wang Yuan in the street. All these incidents, one after another, overwhelmed all the forces in the city. "The temple has actually been cleaned, but with all the recent events, I haven't been able to conduct a thorough inspection... It seems something slipped through the net." Xu Qing pondered and said, "He only showed up after the General Envoy left the city. I'm afraid he has already developed spirituality." In fact, most of the people who entered the city that night were ghosts. But the evil spirits devour each other, merge and grow. Perhaps an evil spirit was created. If it is an evil spirit that has merged with the divine will and energy, then in Jie Jin's eyes, it is a "god"-like existence. Looking around Liu Zun Temple, only the temple priest can take action to restrain it. "Please visit the Tianlou, take Qingshanfang as the center, and carefully check the surrounding squares to find the location!" At this moment, a voice came from outside, saying calmly: "I will deal with Him myself!" "Impermanent Flag Bearer, all the people in charge are here to discuss tonight's affairs under the order of the Chief Flag Bearer. No one is allowed to enter without notification!" There are two small flags blocking the way outside. "..." Xu Qing and others' faces changed drastically and they hurried out to greet them.
Then he saw Wuchang standing outside the Jiantiansi branch with a calm expression. Many of the flag bearers and small flags directly under the Outer South Division in the surrounding area looked at the flag bearer of the Linjiang Division, who had been in the limelight recently, with meaningful expressions. However, at this moment, the highest-ranking people in the Wainan Division hurried downstairs and stepped forward to greet them. "Greetings to the General Envoy!" Xu Qing and others all stepped forward and saluted. At this moment, in the Wainan Division, many of the flag bearers and small flags directly under the Division looked at each other in astonishment. Some time ago, Wuchang was just a member of a small flag directly under the Wainan Division, and was recently promoted to the flag bearer of the Linjiang Division. The speed of this promotion had already shocked many people in the Wainan Division. Now he has transformed himself and become the chief flag bearer? The atmosphere in the field was somewhat stagnant. "A month ago, he was just like me, just a small flag?" There was a young man whose voice was full of disbelief. Another middle-aged man said in a muffled voice: "A month ago, as the flag bearer, I personally gave him orders and asked him to do the job." "What are you standing there for? What are you gossiping about?" Xu Qing's voice suddenly spread, with a hint of anger. Then, sounds were heard throughout the entire Wainan Division. "Greetings to the General Envoy of Impermanence!" "..." Lin Yan raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite." He looked at Xu Qing and said, "I will be in charge of the Wainan Division tonight. If anyone dares to make any unusual moves, please report them to me!" "understand!" Xu Qing turned sideways and said, "Fifth Master, please go upstairs!" Lin Yan went upstairs and sat directly in the seat of General Han, thinking: "Old Han's seat is really comfortable, and the cushion is soft." But before he could sit there for too long, his brows furrowed. Bang! The door was kicked open! Xu Qing was thrown in by someone, with a slap mark on his face. "Are all the people in the Outer South Division useless? A brat sitting in the position of the Chief Envoy?" Then a burly man shouted, "I am under the order of General Zhou Kui to come to your Wainan Division to seek justice!" He said loudly: "The Outer South Division is full of rubbish. The evil spirits crossed the border from Qingshanfang and reached Guyingfang, killing four flags of my Southwest Division. If you don't give me an explanation today, I..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt a figure suddenly approaching. Before I could see clearly, I felt my body floating in the air. Boom! It crashed downstairs! He was in a daze, stood up and looked upwards. "You trespassed into the Outer South Division, hurt people, and spoke rudely. You are so powerful in the Southwest Division!" Then I saw an expressionless young man standing on the upper floor, looking down. Then Lin Yan's eyes fell on the flag bearers directly under the Outer South Division and said, "Because General Han is not here, you dare not fight back? If someone comes to attack you, fight back!" "Today I am the general flag bearer. Break one of his legs and one of his arms, and pull out two of his teeth!" "Zhou Kui, the chief flag-bearer of the Outer Southwest Division, if you have any dissatisfaction, feel free to come to me!" "beat!" The many flag bearers, who were originally filled with anger, immediately rushed forward. A moment later, the flag bearer of the Outer Southwest Division was seen lying on the ground with a bruised face and nose. Lin Yan jumped down from the tall building, stood in front of him, and looked down. "If it weren't for the fact that you are also a member of the Heavenly Supervisory Department and have made great contributions in fighting against demons, I would chop you to pieces with a knife just for your crime of insubordination!" After he finished speaking, Lin Yan kicked his thigh and said, "Lead the way. I will kill the evil spirit tonight and give you an explanation from the Outer Southwest Division." The flag bearer of the Outer Southwest Division turned pale when he looked at his broken leg. With a crack! Lin Yan stepped on the broken bone and said, "I will straighten your bones. With your internal strength, you can barely stand up. Ride your horse and lead the way!" Upstairs, Xu Qing covered his cheek and watched this scene, feeling quite happy. But he also knew that General Han was not there tonight, and Wuchang was in charge of the Outer South Division. Zhou Kui deliberately sent people here to provoke trouble. Or Wuchang, the new chief flag bearer, would have to bow his head before a mere flag bearer. Or launch a counterattack and give Zhou Kui a reason to take action personally. "It's not very favorable to go to the southwest area of the outer city, which is Zhou Kui's territory." Xu Qing's heart was slightly shocked and he was about to speak up to stop him. Then Wuchang raised his hand with a calm expression. He had met Zhou Kui and repeatedly humiliated Han Zheng's general. Because of his relationship with Emperor Li Shenzong of Qifeng Prefecture, General Han had to swallow his anger many times. Now that I have some abilities and a high enough position, I should at least vent my anger on behalf of Old Han. "Zhou Kui wants to humiliate General Han by insulting me... Today, I am on his territory and I will humiliate him!"
