I stayed in the Yamen today. Niu Sandao still has some things to deal with, so he can only go out to Qingliang Mountain early tomorrow morning.
The bearded headman specially selected a private room to entertain guests, and the county magistrate also came over to say hello and said that Su Daochang was the number one monk in Taoyuan County.
He probably said this to every cooperating cultivator. Su Fei would not take it to heart, as long as the money from the Yamen was sufficient.
Living in the county government office is still a bit uncomfortable. There are busy officials everywhere. Sometimes they are escorting a woman who is complaining about grievances. Sometimes she is suppressing a man who is shouting that he is the victim.
Men, women, old and young...
Su Fei felt it was very noisy and wanted to go back to Lingxian Temple.
Fortunately, I only stayed here for one night.
Niu Sandao was very hospitable. In order to make Su Fei feel like going home when entering the Yamen, he led him into a dungeon.
The prison is divided into two areas, one for ordinary prisoners and the other for evil spirits.
It is said that evil spirits are not completely useless. Many evil spirits are very suitable for refining elixirs and refining weapons. For example, when refining elixirs, if you lack smelly energy, you can throw a vixen into the furnace and burn it.
The evil spirits that had no use were directly refined into oil. A few decades ago, in order to defraud money, a large merchant purchased large quantities of evil spirits and pressed them into oil, then mixed them with rapeseed oil or lard, sold them at a high price, and gave them an attractive name.
, called mixed entanglement oil.
Made a lot of money.
Finally one day, people discovered that consuming the mixed oil refined by Xie Sui was not conducive to bone development and would even make the appearance weird.
A commercial fraud is the end.
I'm going too far. In short, evil spirits have a purpose. The imperial court purchased them in large quantities. Therefore, yamen in various places would set up demon cells in dungeons. People from the Heavenly Sin Department would personally set up formations and regularly send people to transport them into the capital.
Su Fei walked around the dungeon and gained more knowledge.
Finally, I went out alone to find some peace. I drank a few cups of tea in the teahouse and listened to a book for a while. I thought that Wuliang Temple was in Taoyuan County, so why not go and have a look first.
It would save a lot of trouble if the matter could be settled directly in the city.
Wuliang Temple is an ancient temple. Not long after Taoyuan County was built, an eminent monk passed by this place and said it was a good place, so he built the temple. With the inheritance of the mantle, the small temple has now become a wealthy temple covering a large area. The monks
They are all very wealthy, and they never haggle when buying food or rice.
The gates of Wuliang Temple are open on all sides, and there are many pilgrims, much more than Lingxian Temple.
The ancient locust trees in front of the door provide shade.
Buddhism and Taoism are not very good in the world recently. In the eyes of monks, all spiritual forces are stronger than traditional Taoist priests. Therefore, if Taoist priests appear in temples, they will definitely be looked down upon.
But Su Fei is not an ordinary Taoist priest. He doesn't care about other people's cold noses and cold faces.
I looked around in Wuliang Temple and found that the walls were newly painted with red paint and the roofs were newly plastered with gold. There was an air of luxury everywhere.
Nothing unusual was found.
I even used body contemplation to see a few monks, but they were all flesh and blood, and I didn't see any evil faces.
If it is a demon, his body observation technique will definitely be able to see the demonic aura above the other person's head.
I also specifically checked the incense burner in Wuliang Temple. It was used as an array weapon.
Still can't see the problem.
"Amitabha, if you want to see this Taoist priest, please don't touch the incense in my temple." A monk wearing cassocks appeared and looked at the strange Taoist priest coldly, as if he had caught a thief, with a sullen look on his face: "Come here
People, clean the incense burner again,"
"No, twice."
Su Fei couldn't tell that there was something wrong with the monks, but the crisis warning must not be wrong. It should be that the time to commit evil has not yet come, and when the time comes, the evil spirit will appear.
You still have to visit Qingliang Temple first.
If the idea of attacking Wuliang Temple directly is too extreme, it will inevitably scare the snake and easily miss the opportunity to wipe out the evil spirits.
After leaving Wuliang Temple, Su Fei went to Dongshi, Taoyuan County for a while. There were many livestock sellers there. He thought he would have to buy transportation sooner or later, so he might as well take advantage of this time to buy it.
He has always been hesitant and unable to make up his mind to buy a carriage, not only because of the money problem, but also because he is now a cultivator in the realm of concentration. There are many dangers on the way to conquer demons and evil spirits. The probability of death of ordinary animals is extremely high, even if it is not
Even if you die from a sneak attack by evil spirits, you will also die under the light of your own sword.
In that case, wouldn't the livestock be bought in vain?
So he needs a mount as sturdy as the black bear demon, even a donkey.
The livestock in the county government are relatively suitable. After all, they are official livestock, but it is a pity that they don't have enough for themselves.
Just turned out of an alley.
Hearing a noise, driven by curiosity, Su flew over there.
When I entered, I discovered that it was a young lady from an ordinary family who had done something evil. She jumped on men when she saw them and spoke obscenely.
The head of the house was a man in his forties. He had just invited a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits. He noisily invited the Taoist priest to enter the house, but the Taoist priest kept shaking his head.
The closer you get, the more you can hear the content clearly.
"Master Taoist, didn't we agree at that time that for fifty taels of silver, you could help me drive away the evil spirits from my little girl's body? Why did it rise to three hundred taels for no reason? It's not a small amount." The middle-aged man looked anxious.
"Shopkeeper, please don't talk nonsense. I'm not raising the price for no reason," the Taoist priest said seriously: "Your daughter has provoked dirty things. She is a revengeful century-old spirit. This kind of person has a very strong purpose."
Evil spirits are quite difficult to deal with,"
"Let me do the math for you. Just for the talismans, I have to use six of them: body-fixing, soul-fixing, yin-dispersing, soul-destroying, body-protecting, and blasting. Each of my talismans costs at least eighteen taels of silver, plus the exorcism
The expensive elixirs such as Qi-increasing pills and solid pills that Pindao takes cost upwards of 300 taels. That’s it, and I haven’t even counted the loss of the Bagua disk and the magic sword..."
"And the last time you invited a weak Taoist priest, you already angered the thing in your woman's body. The possessed resentful soul already hates the Taoist priest and has become a grudge against the Taoist priest."
"You must know the reputation of my Qingyun Temple, and I, Wu Changqing, am a close disciple of the temple master and have rich experience in eliminating evil..."
The Taoist priest fooled the family into confusion.
After all, I have something to ask for, and my daughter's life is at stake, so I have to borrow three hundred taels even if it's a loan.
The middle-aged man was about to agree.
A clear voice came from nearby, causing everyone to look over.
"I only charge three cents."
Su Fei stood not far away, like the first flower blooming in the spring breeze, particularly conspicuous and unique, with a Taoist priest's extraordinary temperament.
If he hadn't heard the words Wu Changqing, Su Fei might not have meddle in other people's business.
The last time I went to Jinyin Village to hire craftsmen, I met the black bear demon by chance. In the crisis plot, there was a record about Wu Changqing. In the plot, this guy took advantage of someone's danger, killed Su Fei, and took away all his possessions.
Possessions.
Such behavior must be punished.
Wu Changqing of Qingyun Temple was stunned for a while, then turned to look at the strange Taoist priest who seemed to have an abnormal mind.
There must be something wrong, where do these wild Taoist priests come from who are so unruly and just trying to steal jobs?
"There is a century-old evil spirit inside the house, and it is very prejudiced against Taoist priests." Wu Changqing was a little annoyed: "You have to spend more than three coins to throw a talisman, right?"
"Fair competition, fellow Taoist, please use civilized language." Su Fei is very particular about quality.
"Do I have a grudge against you?" Wu Changqing began to recall from his childhood to now. It seemed that he had no enemies among his colleagues: "If there were, when would we have grudges? If not, why would we expend money to get rid of the evil?"
"How can exorcism and evil be measured by gold and silver," Su Fei said calmly: "Human life is greater than heaven."
His words immediately made people awe-inspiring.
Things have developed to this point, and there is no warning of crisis, so there will be no gain, and it will be a purely loss-making transaction.
But Su Fei didn't care, he just wanted to relieve his anger.
"I want to see if what you did is better than what you said." Wu Changqing was obviously furious.
It was just a resentful spirit. Su Fei entered the house and saw the woman bound by iron chains. When the girl saw the man, she looked arrogant and started to show her teeth and claws desperately.
Su Fei stepped forward and grabbed the opponent's neck, scaring the crowd to start a fight.
I saw him retreating slowly, obviously holding a vaguely human-shaped evil spirit in his hand. Judging from certain characteristics, it should be a mother evil spirit.
"Bang~"
Just pinch it and explode it.
The whole courtyard was silent, only Wu Changqing let out a long sigh: "Wow~"
