Chapter 834: Getting rich overnight, unintentionally inserting willows into the shadow
"Fellow Taoist, are you serious about this? What did you see?"
Lan Yang, who was sitting cross-legged, seemed quite excited. He stood up and the chains on his body jingled, making a crisp sound, which was quite unexpected in the quiet underground palace.
It's like a drowning man grasping at straws.
His eyes were full of hope.
Lao Liu, Guang Yuanzi couldn't help but feel curious.
They had just read the file and listened to Lan Yang's self-report. The matter was clear and clear. It was clear that Lan Yang encountered a demonic obstacle when he broke through to the great realm and accidentally fell into the evil heretic.
When Chu Chen saw everyone looking at him, he immediately nodded slightly and spoke firmly.
"Fellow Taoist Lanyang, you don't know something. Recently, the extraterrestrial demon realm [Luo Guixiang] has joined forces with the Dragon King and Tiger Emperor of the Qingyou Demon Realm to refine an elixir called [Dragon and Tiger Holy Pill]."
"This elixir is a Taoist elixir for demonic monks with great supernatural powers. If you take one elixir into your stomach, your Taoist cultivation will skyrocket. It can also break through the bottleneck of demonic power, which is extremely impressive."
When the three of them heard this, they were immediately attracted by Chu Chen's words.
They really have never heard of this.
Even Guang Yuanzi, who was the first deputy director of the Yuezhou Ghosts and Gods Department, did not know the inside story. He was surprised and shocked and blurted out:
"The [Dragon and Tiger Holy Pill] refining needs will not be"
"Yes, the main material is the soul essence of sentient beings, and the soul essence of our human race is the best." Chu Chen nodded slightly and said with emotion:
"A few days ago, the Li family also suffered a disaster because of this, and almost the entire family died."
When one person and two demons heard this, their faces showed shock.
Lan Yang, in particular, seemed extremely excited.
He was originally depressed and desperate, but when he saw hope, his eyes became a little more "angry". However, he still had doubts in his heart and asked:
"Fellow Taoist, you are just guessing. I did encounter a demonic barrier when I broke through and was bewitched by demons. As soon as I came out, the souls and energy of the children under my knees and the people in the mountains were all sucked dry. I..." Chu Chen said slightly
Nod.
His judgment is indeed just a guess and has no actual evidence.
However, it is easy to confirm.
Just prove that Lan Yang did not harm anyone.
After the Dachang Dynasty established the world, it used the luck of human nature to impose a blood ban. Whenever monsters eat people and plunder the human race's spiritual energy, they will have more blood ban evil spirits on their bodies.
A man-eating monster with little moral integrity, the blood restriction is extremely obvious and can be seen at a glance.
Even if some demons have deep magical power and are covered by magical powers, some are good at "qi-gazing" or have special spiritual eyes and magical powers. Experts who can spy on the demons can also tell whether the demons have blood-forbidden evil spirits and karma.
However, demons and monsters who have reached the realm of great supernatural powers, or have practiced some top-level magic skills, or have some special talents and supernatural powers, can also hide their eyes from others, and can even wear Taoist robes and cassocks to sneak into the ranks of Taoism and Buddhism.
Lan Yang has now broken through the realm of great supernatural powers, and has concentrated great power on himself, and is born with the magical power to block the fate of fate.
It is impossible to tell with ordinary methods whether he has plundered soul essence to practice magic skills.
However, Chu Chen is not an ordinary person.
"Fellow Taoist Lan Yang, I have a sword called [Lingjianzi]. It is inherited from the true immortal Xu Jingyang and Xu Tianshi. This sword uses "humanity skills" to open its cutting edge. It can kill evil but not good. If you do not harm anyone,
Then the spiritual sword will not kill you. If you really become a demon and harm someone, and the divine sword enters your body, you will be killed on the spot."
After saying that, Chu Chen's eyes narrowed and fell on Lan Yang, saying
"Fellow Taoist, do you dare to take the sword?!"
When Lan Yang heard that it was the inheritance of a true immortal, he immediately became interested. He puffed up his chest and said excitedly:
"Why don't you dare! Fellow Taoist, feel free to try the sword!"
When Lao Liu saw this scene, he wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he swallowed it back.
The same goes for Guang Yuanzi on the side.
In fact, the sheep demon Lan Yang killed thousands of people and deserved death. However, the person who killed the demon should not be Chu Chen, but was arranged by the Immortal Court.
After all, killing a great magical demon who has done many evil things
Demon, that was a huge achievement and a real "fat job". How could it be arranged at will? The interests of the Yuezhou Ghosts and Gods Division were involved. However, Guangyuanzi did not speak in the end. He told Chu Chen
I know him quite well, and he is not the kind of person who "picks peaches" and takes credit.
While he was talking, Chu Chen had a thought in his mind, and a divine sword bursting with golden light appeared in front of him. It was Xu Zhenjun's [Spiritual Sword].
As a member of the Immortal Court, Chu Chen is very clear about the rules of the State and County Ghosts and Gods Division, and naturally knows that Zhan Lanyang involves the distribution of interests within the Immortal Court, which is not something he can decide at will.
However, he was quite confident.
[Lingjianzi] is an invisible sword that is internally refined. Over the years, he has internally refined the way of alchemy, and the divine sword [Lingjianzi] has become more spiritual and can be controlled by his heart.
If Lan Yang is really doing many evil things, before [Ling Jianzi] kills him, he is confident that he can stop his attack in time and save his life. He will not take advantage of others to "pick peaches" from the Yuezhou Ghost and God Division, steal the merits and make Guang Yuanzi embarrassed.
.
"Fellow Taoist Lan Yang, don't resist, just take my sword!"
Chu Chen made a sword gesture with his hand, shouted loudly, and the divine sword flew out in front of him.
[Spirit Sword Son] made a whoosh sound and turned into a sword light to stab Lan Yang.
For a moment, everyone was quite nervous.
However, Lan Yang was very calm, closing his eyes and waiting for the trial.
"call out!"
A golden sword light touched his forehead, and he was about to break his skull with the sword. Miraculously, [Ling Jianzi] stopped in the air and made a "tick-tick" sound.
Immediately, [Ling Jianzi] turned around.
The sword light flashed, and a ferocious sword wound appeared on Lan Yang's arm, and blood gurgled out.
The injuries looked horrific, but not fatal.
"This is…"
Lan Yang, Guang Yuanzi, and Lao Liu all looked at Chu Chen.
"Fellow Taoist Lan Yang, it is indeed not you who kills people!"
A faint smile appeared on Chu Chen's face.
【Spirit Jianzi】 belongs to the category of "bullying the weak and afraid of strong swords". They are both monks with great supernatural powers. Under normal fighting, the 【Spirit Jianzi】 condensed with Qi is easy to be blocked by others, so you need the right time to take action.
However, if Lan Yang does not resist, with his mid-level fourth-level Taoist cultivation and more than 4,000 Taoist practices, it is easy to kill the sheep demon Lan Yang with one sword.
But now, he only suffered minor injuries and learned a lesson, which proves that Lan Yang is indeed a kind and gentle monster. He has hurt people, but he has never killed innocent people indiscriminately.
The situation is similar to Song Jian's situation back then.
"I didn't kill him, I didn't kill him"
Lan Yang was extremely excited. His aura was originally unstable and he might fall into Taoist cultivation at any time. At this moment, his aura was stable and became stronger and more solid. His whole person had undergone earth-shaking changes. The so-called "clear mind and one's nature" became more and more important.
As the Tao is profound, the cultivation of one's mind becomes even more important.
Guang Yuanzi on the side also had some thoughts. Since it was not Lan Yang who killed him, there was a lot of involvement behind it. If he could dig deeper, he would probably dig out the top demon power [Qingyou Demon Realm].
"Fellow Daoist Chu, this case is of great importance and should be reported to the Immortal Court in time!"
"It's natural!"
Chu Chen's spiritual sword can distinguish between good and evil in human nature, although it cannot be used as direct evidence to reverse the case of "Sheep Demon Lanyang".
However, it attracted the attention of the Yuezhou Department of Ghosts and Gods, and the day to kill the sheep demon Lan Yang was postponed indefinitely, waiting for the case to come to light.
In addition, if it was not Lan Yang's fault, it would mean that the souls and essences of thousands of demon clans and people were taken away. They are not dead yet and still have a glimmer of hope.
As a result, the Yuezhou Ghost and God Department immediately dug up the corpses of monks and common people buried in "Lanyang Mountain".
On the one hand, they want to search for clues from these corpses, and on the other hand, they want to freeze their corpses to prevent their bodies from decaying.
Chu Chen and Lao Liu also participated and went to Lanyang Mountain in person.
However, it is a pity that the demon acted cautiously and left no clues.
For a time, the situation reached a deadlock.
The Yuezhou Ghosts and Gods Department took it very seriously and sent a large number of troops to investigate the case.
"Brother Chu, do you think we can recover those souls? Could they have been used as medicinal materials for alchemy?" Lao Liu was worried. If this is the case, then Lan Yang will be kicked in the crotch and cannot explain it.
"That's not the case."
Chu Chen shook his head. He was an alchemy master and understood the situation. The [Dragon and Tiger Sacred Pill] was not that easy to refine. Not to mention preparing medicinal materials and later refining the elixir, it would take at least several months to conquer the heaven and earth.
.
"Lao Liu, you don't need to worry too much. There will always be a path to the mountain, and you can always find clues."
Lao Liu nodded slightly and stopped saying anything that hurt morale.
The current situation is much better than at the beginning.
"Okay, I'll search around Lanyang Mountain again to see if I can smell the scent of the demon thieves and find any clues."
After saying that, Lao Liuyi flew into the Lanyang Mountains and searched everywhere.
"Brother, why don't we continue searching?"
The kid asked.
"No."
Chu Chen shook his head, found a huge rock in the mountain stream, sat down, and meditated cross-legged.
Industry specializing in surgery.
Lao Liu was born as a dog demon, and his ability to search for clues about demons puts him to shame.
Of course, he is not sitting idle and waiting passively.
Everything must be traced back to its source.
In the Yuezhou Ghosts and Gods Division, Lao Liu placed the target of clues on Lanyang Mountain, while Chu Chen placed his target on Lanyang.
At the time of the incident, Lan Yang was invaded by demons.
This is extremely critical information.
The eight southwest states are different from the past. The demons from outside the territory do not invade randomly, but can come in a targeted manner. In other words, the connection between the heavenly demons outside the territory and the heaven and earth within the territory has become closer.
The demons outside the territory no longer fight alone, but can join forces with the demons in the world inside the territory and cooperate with each other.
It is very likely that the extraterrestrial demon has colluded with the outside world, so that he can accurately attack Lanyang Mountain. After sitting cross-legged, Chu Chen summoned the [Laojun Sun and Moon Four Symbols Bagua Mirror], and the clone [Five Color Dream Dragon] turned into the demon [Red].
Dragon Demon King], communicating with the demonic realm outside the territory [Luo Guixiang].
After secretly spying on [Become a Demon and Make an Ancestral Alliance], he found a group of demons who were bragging and not speaking human words. He lurked in silence for a long time, but he didn't hear any useful information.
Chu Chen thought about it for a while and immediately showed up to fish.
[Red Dragon Demon King: I heard that someone robbed thousands of souls and essences at once. Brothers, have you ever heard of whose handiwork it was? 】
As soon as these words came out, [Become a Demon and Make an Ancestral Alliance] immediately became lively.
Thousands of soul essences, even for an extraterrestrial demon with great supernatural powers, are a windfall from heaven.
Everyone dreams of getting rich overnight.
The extraterrestrial demons who are ridden with greed are even more yearning and longing. Even if they don't talk about their own personal experiences, even if they listen to it, they will feel hot and excited.
A group of demons, big and small, spoke one after another and became excited.
[Tibu Demon King: Real or fake? Who is so powerful? 】
[Red Dragon Demon King: I don’t know, I just heard some rumors. 】
[Demon King Tifu: I'm afraid it's not just spreading rumors. The great and prosperous dynasty in the region has now learned a lot. The monks, ghosts and gods transferred to the eight southwest states are all people with profound Taoism. Their Taoist hearts are clear and quiet, and they are not easy to invade. I have suffered a lot these days. I'm sorry.
My heart and liver hurt.]
[Red Leaf Demon King: Tifu, if you can’t do it yourself, don’t say that others can’t do it. The news Chilong said is true. 】
Chu Chen felt happy that he had really caught a fish.
The Red Leaf Demon King's background is much better than that of Red Dragon. The other family has not declined. He is one of the top families in [Luo Guixiang] and is extremely well-informed.
[Red Dragon Demon King: Red leaves, isn’t it your handiwork? 】
[Red Leaf Demon King: Giggles~ I think, unfortunately, it’s not me, but a junior who has not yet reached the realm of great supernatural powers. He has some connections with my family. Speaking of which, he was extremely lucky and met a Taoist with an unstable mind.
The demon clan]
While talking, Hongye talked about the classic achievement of "getting rich overnight".
In fact, what happened is very simple.
This fifth-level demon took advantage of Lan Yang's impetuous mind, invaded, and used the inner demon magical power to bewitch him. After exhausting all means, Lan Yang's Taoist heart was firm and he was not bewitched by the demon.
However, Lan Yang's mood was unstable and his mind was impetuous. He fell into a demonic barrier and was unable to extricate himself. Therefore, the foreign demon who had been unable to attack for a long time used martial arts and summoned the "devil body" to plan.
A pincer attack from inside and outside.
Things were progressing extremely smoothly. The demon outside the territory spent a lot of effort to break through the barrier of the Lanyang Mountain Temple Formation and was about to take action. Unexpectedly, Lanyang Daoxing had a good chance, and after going through the devil's calamity, he ushered in an opportunity for a breakthrough.
Seeing this, the demon from outside the territory was afraid of getting in, and did not dare to be greedy to take advantage of Lan Yang's original idea, so he decisively took action to rob the monks in the mountain, and the souls and spirits of the tribesmen, and fled.
Oh!]
All the big and small devils in the alliance were very excited after hearing this, as if the tip of a knife was licking blood, as if they were the ones who "got rich overnight".
Chu Chen thought about it and continued to inquire.
[Red Dragon Demon King: Hongye, can that junior hand over his soul and energy? 】
[Red Leaf Demon King: This is natural. It’s an extra 30% out of thin air. It’s such a bargain. Who wouldn’t turn it in?] Hearing this, Chu Chen nodded slightly.
A few days ago, Luo Guizhenmo promulgated a rule that if you get good soul essence, after turning it in, your superiors will receive an additional subsidy of 30% of the soul essence.
That is to say, the requirements for refining [Dragon and Tiger Holy Pill] are high and require high-quality soul essence.
Generally, the demons outside the territory practice on their own. Good-quality human souls and essences are good, but it is just the difference between good rice and coarse grains. Most demons will choose "quantity" rather than quality. [Red Dragon Demon King: It's really a good deal, part 2
This time I have a chance, I also exchange it. Hongye, you are well-informed. I don’t know how to surrender and exchange it? Go to Luogui Holy Palace?]
[Red Leaf Demon King: It’s not cost-effective to go to Luogui Holy Palace. It would be a big loss to bring it back outside the territory. It’s better to directly contact the Qingyou Demon Territory in the territory and bargain for 35%. 】
[Red Dragon Demon King is overjoyed: Hongye, how to contact Qingyou Demon Realm? 】
[Red Leaf Demon King: I don’t know the details. I don’t want to go into details. I only know that he went to the Biyouxi Sea]
After a while.
Chu Chen’s face was full of joy:
"Unintentionally, I got such an important clue." PS: Sorry, it's even later. I slept deeply and woke up late. The next chapter will be updated in the evening.
