Chapter 1 Li Ang
Chapter 1 Li Ang

Li Ang let these indignant travelers, who had just woken up from the nightmare of being transformed into donkeys and horses, lead San Niangzi and a few shop assistants to report the crime to the government, but he did not accompany them.

Reporting to the authorities was a very troublesome procedure, especially when it involved such bizarre demonic arts.

Not only did he have to produce a Taoist certificate to gain trust, but he also had to accept inquiries from the local Wude Guard.

Li Ang had already reaped enough benefits by extracting more than two hundred points of Faith Power from the group of travelers. He didn't have that much free time to go through the process.

Therefore, he asked Zhao Shusheng to report the name of Taoist Ximenzi to the government at that time.

As for himself, he waved his sleeves very潇洒amidst the travelers' endless gratitude, and continued on his way alone.

The enlightened people in this world are still very enthusiastic about the tune of "brushing their clothes after the event, and hiding their bodies and names deeply".

Taoist Ximenzi's behavior of not seeking fame and fortune is completely the demeanor of an expert and will not arouse suspicion.

"Enmei Art..."

On the country path, Li Ang muttered thoughtfully.

According to San Niangzi, she learned this animal-making evil art from an ancient book.

When she was young, she passed by a book stall in Dongshan County. Under the enthusiastic greetings of the stall owner, she bought a few idle books.

In the pages of one of the idle books, she found a piece of paper of unknown material, similar to dried skin.

The Enmei spell was written on the paper in tiny fly-head characters.

"Remember when we interrogated Wu Hu before?"

Li Ang said softly, "Wu Hu said that the demonic art he used to confuse people's minds, so that the victims would not struggle even if they were disemboweled, was also learned from an old book."

Chai Da小姐 nodded, "According to his description, that book was bought from an old book stall in Dexi County, right?

"The stall owner was an old man with white hair, wearing tattered cloth clothes, short in stature, with a wrinkled face, and a white beard hanging down to his chest. He was very enthusiastic."

"It's exactly the same as San Niangzi described."

Since then, the two have never seen the white-haired old man again.

"So, someone is deliberately spreading evil arts in the martial world? But what is the purpose?

"It can't be that the White Lotus Sect's scouts are looking for talents among the people, right?"

"Who knows."

Li Ang shook his head and said, "The White Lotus Sect has many branches, complicated branches and leaves, and many strange people with different beliefs.

"It is difficult to determine whether the white-haired old man encountered by Wu Hu and San Niangzi is a member of the White Lotus Sect, or which branch of the White Lotus Sect organization."

"Hmm..."

Chai Da小姐 thought for a while, "In short, that old man definitely has a problem.

"Dongshan County and Dexi County are more than two thousand miles apart.

"Moreover, the time when San Niangzi got the book and the time when Wu Hu got the book was more than ten years apart.

"But the old man's appearance has not changed much.

"Either he has a team behind him, and everyone is wearing the face of an old book vendor, selling demonic art books everywhere, or he has magic power and can maintain his appearance."

"It's also possible that Wu Hu and San Niangzi were both bewitched by illusions at the time."

Li Ang added, casually said, "Forget it, this kind of thing should be considered by the Wude Guard.

"If the Wude Guard's work efficiency is not so low, they should be able to find out soon that Taoist Ximenzi, who solved the porridge restaurant case, is the same Taoist Ximenzi who repelled the White Lotus Sect disciples in Goose City."

"Then the Wude Guard will send someone to find you, right?"

Chai Da小姐 tilted her head, "This is not like you. In the past, you were incognito and tried to hide as much as possible."

"Let them find me."

Li Ang said indifferently, "With the disguise tools in hand, if they can find me, I'll lose."

Li Ang was very open-minded. The porridge restaurant had sold no less than a thousand donkeys and horses.

If the government and the Wude Guard can properly resolve this incident and rescue the donkeys and horses that have been transformed from humans and sold to various places

Let the story of "Taoist Ximenzi cleverly cracking the Enmei Art" spread for a long time, and the people spread the word, and even build a living shrine for Taoist Ximenzi to provide faith.

Li Ang looked around for a while, confirmed that there was no one on this path, stomped on the ground, his figure rose from the ground, jumped to the treetops, stepped on the branches of the trees, and ran wildly forward.

Chenzhou City, a residential house.

A man with a beard and sideburns, wearing armor, paced anxiously in the courtyard, clenching his fists, loosening them, and repeating the process.

"Ten directions Zhutian尊, their number is like sand and dust, transforming and traveling in ten directions, universally saving all beings..."

The sound of reciting scriptures for济幽度亡and transcending souls came from the room, along with the baby's shrill cries.

The armored man and the relatives挤in the courtyard looked anxiously and fearfully at the house.

After a while, the sound gradually subsided.

The door opened, and a young man in cloth clothes pushed the door out with a haggard expression.

The armored man hurriedly greeted him, "Cultivator Zhu, my wife..."

"Lingzheng is fine, but she still needs to recuperate for a few days."

Zhu Xuemin coughed, waved his hand, and said in a low voice, "Thousand households, go in and take a look."

The man thanked him profusely and ran into the house to take care of his pale wife.

The relatives in the courtyard stepped forward to thank him. Zhu Xuemin responded one by one, took the reward gift money, and walked out of the courtyard.

A carriage was already parked outside the courtyard.

The coachman was Shi Qi, the bounty hunter Li Ang had seen by the lake.

"Solved?"

Shi Qi turned his hat and asked in a low voice.

"Solved."

Zhu Xuemin replied softly and got into the carriage.

The wife of the thousand households he had just rescued suddenly fainted this morning, and a bloodstain appeared around her waist.

The bloodstain was initially very faint, but as time went on, it became more and more intense, and it was about to cut her in half, cutting her off at the waist.

"That woman was a stepmother in her previous life. She deliberately did not give her stepson milk, starving him to death. Now the baby's亡灵is here to claim her life, wanting to snatch her upper body.

"After I超度ed her, I eliminated her resentment and went to be reincarnated."

Zhu Xuemin sat in the carriage and briefly told Shi Qi about the situation, then closed his eyes and rested.

They had rescued the Chenzhou governor's wife and became guests of honor at the governor's mansion as overseas magicians.

He had visited many places and solved countless abnormal events inside and outside the city, but he still had not found any clues about the Sheng Nan King.

Participating in the banquets held by enlightened monks in Chenzhou City, talking about the world, discussing Taoism, and still getting nothing.

What's going on? Shouldn't it be like this?

According to the卦象display, the key node of the Sheng Nan King's dream world is in Chenzhou City.

Could it be that the time has not come?

Zhu Xuemin frowned and took out a map from his pocket.

This map was drawn by him using the method of Feng Shui surveying, combined with special props from the Alien Society. The map not only has the main mountains, rivers, prefectures and counties in the Central Plains, but also countless red dots that densely cover almost the entire map.

Each red dot represents the aura of妖魔異類.

Shocking.

Zhu Xuemin吐out a mouthful of turbid air, listened to the lively sounds of the market on both sides through the carriage curtain, and a sense of absurdity could not help but rise in his heart.

All beings are ignorant and do not know that the world is like a burning house, dangerous as a pile of eggs.

Zhu Xuemin silently put the map back into his sleeve.

Shi Qi thought of something and turned his head and said, "Oh, by the way, Luo Siyuan has invited you to the banquet again. Are you going?"

"Luo Siyuan?"

Zhu Xuemin frowned slightly. This person is a direct disciple of Longhu Mountain. His deceased master was the former elder of Longhu Mountain.

Logically speaking, people like Luo Siyuan should be enjoying the余荫on Longhu Mountain. I don't know why he was assigned to Chenzhou City - maybe it's because he is usually licentious, acts loosely, and is落拓不羁?

"I'm not going to the banquet. Anyway, going there is just a group of people drinking and having fun. It's better to kill a few more妖魔."

Zhu Xuemin shook his head, "Let's go through the west gate. West of Chenzhou City, there is a flying僵藏in a mountain."
