According to Zhao Shiping's account, Lin Xicai knew what kind of request for help it was.

The person who came to ask for help was named Wu, Wu Zhongren. His ancestors were high-ranking officials for three generations. They had accumulated a lot of wealth. Even though they were in decline now, a skinny camel was bigger than a horse. The Wu family was now a wealthy family in Liuzhou City.

Something strange happened at home recently, that is, the livestock at home began to die one after another, starting with kittens, puppies, and later horses. At first, I thought it was a competitor causing a prank, but now it is people's turn. Some time ago

The servants and servants started to die, and three people died.

It doesn't look like a competitor was using their tactics, and the dead person had a strange expression, with a happy smile on his face, as if he had encountered something happy before his death.

This made the entire Wu family panic, thinking that the house was haunted. If it hadn't been for the power of the past, it is estimated that there would not be many people in the Wu family.

He came to Qifeng County today because his family's silk and satin business happened to be in Qifeng County. After discussing the business, he remembered this matter and came to talk to Zhao Shiping for help. He promised that if Zhao Shiping helped him solve this problem,

So he gave him the silk and satin shop in Qifeng County and several ancient spiritual books at home.

To be honest, Zhao Shiping was moved, so he hesitated a little, saying that he wanted to give Wu Zhongren an answer before he left Qifeng County.

After Zhao Shiping finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xi, waiting for his answer.

To be honest, Lin Xi was also hesitant, because it was Liuzhou City. With the influence of Liuzhou City's ground, the only person who could kill people in the city without leaving any traces would be at least an old demon who has been cultivating for hundreds of years, or even more than a thousand years old.

, and after hearing the description, the ability was so weird that I couldn't even deduce the species. Lin Xi really didn't want to get involved in such a tricky matter.

However, seeing Zhao Shiping's expectant eyes, Lin Xi could not say any words of rejection directly, because Zhao Shiping was indeed approaching the age of retirement. With a silk and satin shop business, his family would be much better off. After all, his children did not practice Taoism.

There is no talk about inheriting the mantle in the Taoist sect, they all speak based on strength, and his family is still a daughter. He wants to make plans for his family. Lin Xi also knows this very well.

So he considered his words and asked: "Uncle, it can be seen from his words that this matter has happened a long time ago. He is in Liuzhou City. So whether it is Baotian Master Hall or Maoshan No. 49, Longhu

No. 57, it’s much more convenient than finding you. Do you think there’s any hidden tricks here?”

He decided to attack from the side and help Zhao Shiping analyze it carefully. Pie in the sky is not necessarily a good thing, and it may be someone else who deliberately dropped it on you.

Zhao Shiping pondered for a moment, and then said: "It's not that I haven't thought about this. There is a third-level officer in Liuzhou City, which is much better than looking for me. Moreover, looking for Tianshitang may cost less. Wu Zhongren doesn't

I also asked why he was looking for these things. According to what he said, he had a bad time with Tianshitang in Liuzhou City, so he didn’t look for them. He came to Qifeng County just to inspect his business, and he happened to look for me because of it.

That’s all.”

"What about Maoshan and Longhu Hall in Liuzhou City? Haven't you found them either?"

"That's not a question."

"I still think there is something inside, and I ask my uncle to think about it seriously." Lin Xi solemnly suggested to Zhao Shiping. For some reason, he just felt that the Wu family was abnormal.

Zhao Shiping nodded, and then said to Danian and the three of them: "Zhiguang, you can continue to go to the shrine to watch without anyone around. After all, those little Taoist boys have limited experience. Danian will arrange lunch. It needs to be rich and rich."

Jingqing, keep an eye on it, Dalei, go home and tell your mistress that I won’t be going back today, then go to the butcher Zheng’s house in the east of the city to buy a pig head, and go to Jinyulou to braise it. When you come back, take it with you.

Some good wine, um, that’s all, let’s go!”

Not only Lin Xi understood what he meant, but the three of them also understood what he meant. They just wanted to get rid of them, but there would be no complaints. First, the three of them were originally insufficient in cultivation, and second, relatively speaking, they

My relationship with Master is still much deeper than my relationship with Lin Xi. I didn’t hide this from them on purpose. It was probably for their own good that I didn’t let them hear it.

So they all said "yes" and then left.

Zhao Shiping was silent for a moment and then said: "Xiaobao, you know me. I don't have any great talents, but I have never slacked off in slaying demons. I have always taken this as my responsibility. I received an order from the mountain gate a few days ago.

, I will be old in three years, and Qifeng County needs a fourth-grade person to be in charge. In New Year, none of the three of them can reach fourth-grade within three years, but I don’t want to leave their fate to the unknown.

In the hands of the foundation..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Shiping looked unwilling. No wonder he wanted to send Danian and the others away. It turned out that Zhao Shiping was considering the options for Danian and others. The people sent by the mountain sect must also have his own disciples. How will Danian and the others deal with it then?

In other words, no matter how fair a person is, when they are in danger, they will subconsciously save those closest to them.

It was easy to say in the past, but now it is required that the fourth level must be in charge at the county level, so he really has no choice.

"Uncle..." Lin Xi wanted to comfort him and tell him that there were no powerful evil spirits nearby and everything was fine. However, he thought of the incident with the tree demon a few years ago and the rules of heaven and earth were about to lose their effectiveness.

There will definitely be chaos. If there is chaos, who knows where there will still be a safe place.

Lin Xi estimated that Longhu Mountain's requirement that county-level officials must be at the fourth level must have something to do with this, so she didn't say it out loud, and finally turned it into a sigh.

He thought that Zhao Shiping was looking for a way out for himself, but now it seemed that was not the case. He was thinking more about the way out for Danian and others. After all, they were the disciples he had taught for more than ten years, and they were no different from his own children.

This is also a characteristic of this monastic world. They are all masters and apprentices, and even worse, they are apprentices. The master is responsible for all the food, clothing, and expenses. I have to say that the relationship is extremely deep.

"Alas..." Zhao Shiping sighed longly, and then said to Lin Xi: "Xiaobao, this is also the reason why I know the danger this time, but still hesitate. I am limited by my talent, and I have never made any achievements in cultivation.

I have never put my mind on my cultivation. Everything is just a matter of course. I always consider and consider before taking action to eliminate demons. The only time I was unexpected was when I met you and Xuan Miao for the first time, but this time

I want to fight once!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Shiping's face became solemn, and an indomitable momentum suddenly appeared in his body, "As long as I enter the third level, then the mountain gate will not let me grow old so quickly. I can still try not to return to the mountain gate for the New Year.

After ten years of sheltering from the wind and rain, the New Year will be almost at the fourth level by then, so Taoist Temple can naturally take over No. 97 Longhu Mountain. This is not only a fight for them, but also a fight for himself. Life

How many times can I fight him? So what if I fight him once?"

At this moment, Zhao Shiping, who had always been ordinary and cheerful, was actually so dazzling, and his momentum was sharp.

It seems that Zhao Shiping said he was hesitant, but in fact he was ready to fight desperately. However, hearing Zhao Shiping's heroic words, Lin Xi also felt a rush of blood.

He couldn't help asking himself if he had lost the courage to fight. In this strange world, if he wanted to find a way back and didn't have the courage to face danger, how could he face Tang Xiaoyu and face these unknowns?

The answer to the mystery.

"Uncle, pick it up, I'll go with you!" Lin Xi thought that she could give it a try to see what she was afraid of, and be prepared, so that she might be able to break through the bottleneck.

"Xiaobao, it's okay. You don't have to give in to me. Just do what you want. Although I told you this, it's just to cheer myself up. I'm afraid too. I've been struggling just now.

Go or not, how can I go back and talk to Tingting, talk to her mother... ugh."

From these words and Zhao Shiping's demeanor, Lin Xi could tell that he was actually very conflicted. He finally mustered up the courage, but he was wavering between family members.

Not to mention the one who has a family, even Lin Xi himself will struggle as he is alone. Not everyone has the courage to risk his life.

"It's okay, uncle, it depends on your decision. If you say go, I will accompany you. This is not impulsive. I have thought about it. It is not easy to break through to the third level. As you said, this may be a

Of course, it’s a good opportunity not to go, safety first. If we go, we will go together, and we will take care of each other. If we don’t go, we will just sit and talk, and confirm each other. It is not a solution."

Lin Xi didn't want to force Zhao Shiping to do anything. Although he also wanted to break through to the third level and was eager to break through to the third level, how to break through was still unknown and no one knew.

Lin Xi's words made him and Zhao Shiping swap their identities. Instead, he felt like he was persuading Zhao Shiping. Chatting was so wonderful.

"Well, Xiaobao, you are right. This is indeed an opportunity. We must seize it. As for sitting and talking, we have plenty of time now. We can sit and talk when we get back. But if you miss this opportunity, you will really miss it. What if it can happen?

Okay, then we will take on this mission. I will tell Wu Zhongren tomorrow to see when we will set off. You should also be well prepared when you go back today. Safety first, haha, yes, young is good and passionate.

If you are ambitious, I am not as good as you!"

Looking at Zhao Shiping who was talking nonsense with excitement, Lin Xi was stunned. Who said this? I was infected by your lofty ideals and then decided to go. How come we can't even talk for a few words and turn into this?

Did I say that?

"Um, uncle..." Lin Xi licked her lips and was about to defend herself, but was interrupted directly by Zhao Shiping.

"Yes, Xiaobao, you are stronger than me. If I go with you, Tingting and her mother won't say anything. Haha, you came in time. Okay, that's a happy decision.

, I will pack up now, go back and give them a good talk, and then we will have a good meal." Zhao Shiping stood up as he said that, ready to set off, looking vigorous and resolute.
