Chapter 139 Who Is the Watchdog?

The battle in the City God Temple was certainly lively, but the dazed worshippers inside were not affected. At most, a few unlucky ones were grazed, leaving no traces. When they woke up, they probably just thought their old ailments had returned.

The reason was that everyone had a limit in their hearts.

In the yang world, there were gods three feet above one's head. Although not necessarily a specific immortal or deity, there was always a red line in the dark.

It was usually hidden,

But if you jumped around too much, a thunderbolt would come down,

And then,

The world would be harmonious.

Madam Bai had once been a temple spirit and didn't have the jade tablet to protect her. She belonged to the category of yin shrines. On the bookstore's side, whether it was a demon, a zombie, or a sinner stripped of their origins by Hell, none of them dared to jump around too obviously.

But after this cat-and-mouse game,

The situation was finally settled.

Xu Qinglang's left eye was intensely green, but his right eye showed exhaustion.

He had to borrow the power of the Sea God while also restraining himself to prevent being controlled in return. He who wears the crown must bear its weight.

Even when Boss Zhou seemed to be having a great time borrowing Ying Gou's power, only he knew the true taste of it.

Fortunately, with the "Eye of the Sea God" watching,

Madam Bai's movements were basically broken,

The little monkey and the little boy kept probing back and forth, plus Lawyer An's decisive blow at the end.

Two almost substantial chains condensed from demonic and baleful energy,

Finally restrained Madam Bai.

Looking back at the entrance, Lawyer An wondered why the boss was gone. Turning back to look at Madam Bai in front of him, his eyes revealed undisguised covetousness.

Lawyer An wasn't celibate,

And was open about matters of men and women,

But he wouldn't have any improper thoughts about Madam Bai, who didn't even have a physical body at this time.

Besides,

Madam Bai looked exactly like Bai Yingying,

Even if he had some "spiritual" idea,

He wouldn't dare to put it into action,

To avoid offending the boss.

What made Lawyer An's mouth water was the "watery" aura on Madam Bai, the power of incense. It wasn't just useful to temple gods; it had its uses in many places.

It was a bit like Buddha's lamp oil, most tempting.

But there was only one portion. Lawyer An shouted to the old Daoist:

"Where's the boss?"

"He just went back, said he had something to do."

The old Daoist replied while stuffing the items he had just pilfered from Gou Xin into his pockets.

Gou Xin was leaning against the wall, helped by the old Daoist. Seeing Lawyer An walk over, he said weakly:

"Call him back. This stuff has to be eaten while it's hot. It's a waste to just leave it there."

Before,

Gou Xin had been thinking about swallowing this incense, even if it meant breaking his previous plans and becoming a constable sooner.

Who would have thought that Lawyer An would glance at Gou Xin with some disdain? Was this the simpleton who had arrived before him and wanted to recruit his boss as his underling as soon as he entered the store?

Looking at him now,

Where was there any sign of good fortune?

Looking at the gleeful old Daoist beside him, who had gained a lot,

Lawyer An actually felt some sympathy for Gou Xin,

And at the same time, he felt that the boss had been a little too harsh.

Killing was just a matter of a nod. Why did you bring in the old Daoist?

But thinking about it, this guy must have been showing off too much and annoyed the boss.

"Heh, do you think our boss is like you, a country bumpkin who hasn't seen the world?

This bit of incense may seem precious to you, but in my opinion, it's not worth it."

Lawyer An had better plans and arrangements for Zhou Ze. After being promoted to constable, if he wanted to become an inspector or even a judge, he couldn't just rely on performance; he needed merit.

Relying on the power of incense to lay the foundation for promotion to constable was certainly much better than foolishly relying on pure performance, but this incense was ultimately leftovers from others.

Was his boss an old ox who regurgitated?

Now that Hell was undergoing great changes, it was a good time for commoners to rise up and make their fortunes. Lawyer An had originally planned to go to Jiangyin, but thinking it was a bit tricky, he arranged things in Yunnan.

Gou Xin heard this and didn't say anything, but he obviously didn't believe it.

He was used to good fortune and smooth sailing, and he considered himself to have seen the world and many good things.

Seeing him like this, Lawyer An didn't bother to say more. Was he going to boast and brag about the relationship between the great changes in Hell and his boss just to show off?

Was he stupid?

"Did the boss go back to the bookstore? Did something happen there?"

"The boss said before he left that he could handle it," the old Daoist replied.

"Oh."

Since that was the case,

Lawyer An wasn't worried,

He pointed at Gou Xin in front of him,

And then at the Black and White Impermanence lying motionless over there.

"Old Daoist, please go see if those two are dead. If they're not dead, send them to the doctor...send them to the pharmacy next to the bookstore. You're in charge of taking care of them."

"Alright."

The old Daoist agreed,

While Gou Xin, sitting on the side, twitched his lips.

Lawyer An smiled inwardly: You think I can't handle you?

However,

There were still things to deal with here.

Walking back to Madam Bai, he hadn't felt it before, but now he realized that Madam Bai seemed a bit dull.

After carefully examining her,

And recalling what the boss had rushed back for earlier,

Lawyer An realized that this was a golden cicada shedding its shell, and also, luring the fish away from the mountain.

Hopefully nothing happened to the bookstore. Lawyer An wasn't too worried about Bai Yingying, but he was worried about what would happen if Yingying was in trouble and the boss couldn't handle the blow.

But now it was too late for him and the others to rush back. Besides, since Madam Bai had left most of her strength here, as long as the boss made it in time, dealing with the situation at the bookstore shouldn't be a big problem.

Let's solve the problem in front of us first.

Lawyer An looked at the little monkey in front of him.

The little monkey was a demon, and getting merit would be good for his future cultivation. The story of *Journey to the West* wasn't true, but the idea of becoming a demon monkey and then going on a pilgrimage to seek scriptures to get a Buddha position was similar to rebelling and then accepting amnesty, which could also earn favor with the Heavenly Dao.

This point,

Also applied to the little boy beside him.

From the bottom of his heart, Lawyer An wanted the little boy to swallow this incense, which would be like having an extra talisman, so he wouldn't have to worry about being struck by lightning when he went out in the future.

But the little boy seemed to sense Lawyer An's thoughts and immediately took a step back, saying:

"It's not needed."

It wasn't needed,

And he also looked down on it.

Lawyer An was puzzled for a moment, then immediately understood. Although the boss said that Ying Gou had fallen into permanent slumber, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't find a way to wake him up someday.

At that time, what would he think if he found out that the little boy had swallowed someone else's incense?

Lawyer An knew something about Ying Gou's temper.

Let's wait. We'll find a way to wake up Ying Gou in the future. Even a hair pulled from his waist would be thicker than the waist of an ordinary zombie.

At that time, even a little bit that leaked from his fingers to his disciples and grandchildren would be inexhaustible for the little boy.

After all, there was no reason to not worship ancestors and instead go to worship wandering ghosts.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The demon monkey began to call out,

It was still working hard to suppress this dharma body, with a look of disgust on its face.

It seemed that what was in front of it wasn't a delicacy, but a stinky pile of excrement.

"This…………"

Lawyer An suddenly realized,

He remembered,

That day outside the police station, when Ying Gou swallowed the Xie Zhi avatar, he also left a large piece for the little monkey under his feet to eat together.

Although it was just an avatar of the Xie Zhi, it was an ancient mythical beast. After eating that, swallowing this incense would indeed be excrement, right?

Perhaps if the monkey was forced to swallow it, it could cause conflict and indigestion.

Alright,

Lawyer An turned his head and looked at Gou Xin, who was sitting there extremely weak,

This was still the pride of heaven?

Little did he know that the things he valued,

Even the employees and pets of his bookstore didn't bother to eat.

Thinking about it again,

Gou Xin only spent half a day with the old Daoist and became like this.

The previous boss of the old Daoist also had a very miserable end. From Rongcheng to Shanghai, he could only live a plain and low-key life.

But his Boss Zhou,

The old Daoist had been with him for more than a year,

And he still drank coffee and basked in the sun every day,

Seeming to be completely fine.

At this thought,

Lawyer An actually felt a sense of awe.

This power of incense,

Lawyer An was too lazy to swallow it. He didn't have an official position, nor did he have origin text anymore. This thing wasn't for directly increasing strength but for increasing status. If he swallowed it, it would really be a waste.

Looking around again,

Lawyer An pointed at Xu Qinglang,

"You come and swallow it!"

Xu Qinglang was a little surprised,

But he still took a few steps forward, walked to the front of the dharma body, and stood still.

"What are you waiting for? This thing can't be sliced and stir-fried for you. Just eat it as it is. Do you need a dry dipping sauce or a vinegar dipping sauce?"

Lawyer An walked to Xu Qinglang's side, patted him on the shoulder, and continued:

"You can't always think about suppressing him and restraining him. Give him some respect from time to time, and everyone will benefit. He is the Sea God, and the power of incense is very useful."

Xu Qinglang nodded, "Thank you."

"Tch, we're family. What's with the politeness? When you have time, go ask the boss how he gets along with that one.

That one has probably been reincarnating all the time. I don't know how many watchdogs he's had. The most comfortable one is still our boss, right?"

Hearing this,

Madam Bai, who had been subdued and controlled there with a dull expression, suddenly opened her eyes,

And screamed hoarsely:

"How dare you! Who are you calling a watchdog!"

"Oh ho."

Lawyer An put his hands on his hips,

Looking at the subdued Madam Bai and this dharma body,

He wanted to ridicule her again,

But then he thought of Madam Bai's background,

His face immediately became a little unnatural,

And asked:

"My goodness,

Are the boss and that Prince Zhong the same breed?"
