A bell rang, and the white light blocked most of the vines, but the Yuehua Bell was bounced to the side, and Yin Yunzi also fell to the ground, and said in horror: "You are practicing civil engineering at the same time?"
Lin Xiaodong chuckled, tilted his head and looked at the river in the distance. There was a roar on the river surface, and a lot of water gushed out, floating in the air, forming ice spikes, and shooting toward Yin Yunzi in the cold light.
Yin Yunzi had no time to be surprised. He rolled to the side and pierced the ground with ice spikes like iron drills.
Gao Anhe, Xu Simin and others all had a look of horror in their eyes. Lin Xiaodong could not only perform water, wood, and earth magic, but he could also cast spells at the same time without conflicting with each other. How could this be possible?
Lin Xiaodong stretched out his hand to scoop up a handful of air. As soon as Yin Yunzi stood still, the ground cracked under his feet and many stone thorns grew out of it. When he saw this, he jumped up.
Lin Xiaodong clapped his hands lightly as if holding a gong, and the trees on both sides of the road shot vines towards Yin Yunzi.
The Yin Yun people were floating in the air, and had nowhere to rely on. They were tightly entangled by the vines, and they pulled away their arms and legs.
Lin Xiaodong asked Gao Anhe: "How to deal with this person?"
Gao Anhe stepped forward, looked up at Yin Yunzi, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Give him to the Yamen and punish him, Fang Tianrui and Li Jiantong!"
Yin Yunzi's hands, feet and neck were entangled, and the soul asked: "Who are you?"
Lin Xiaodong raised his head and looked at the sky, his eyes gleaming fiercely: "I am empress Yunzhu who arranged me here just to deal with evil people like you!"
Yin Yunzi raised his head and said, "I have never heard of Lady Yunzhu."
Gao Anhe flicked his sleeves and gave an order: "Tie him up!"
Luo Jincheng, Xu Simin, and Chen Shilan took action and tied up Yin Yunzi, Zhang Ruicong, and Wang Pengyun. Song Zhengqi was already a bloody mess and was bitten to death by his own little devil.
There was no movement at the Tianwang Temple. Tan Yuanming and some villagers hurried over with torches lit. When they came up to it, they were all stunned.
The Tianwang Temple is crumbling, the paths in the forest are full of big holes, there is no good spot, and the trees on both sides are in pieces as if they have been swept by a tornado.
The most frightening thing is that in front of the Tianwang Temple, there is a big snake two feet long with thick calves. It is silver-white in color and has a tumor on its head, as if it is growing a horn.
Yin Yunzi and his two disciples were tied tightly and kneeling in front.
Tan Yuanming held the torch and stared, froze on the spot and did not dare to step forward.
Gao Anhe said to him: "Send someone to the county seat to find Magistrate Dong and ask him to send officers and soldiers."
Tan Yuanming nodded blankly and ordered people to ride to the county seat.
The villagers boldly came up and gathered around the big snake to look at it, asking, "Such a big snake?"
"This is going to become a sperm!"
"Will you turn into a dragon in a few years?"
Lin Xiaodong said contemptuously: "It can't become a dragon. The five missing people in the village were all eaten by it."
When the villagers heard this, they all showed angry expressions. The brave ones kicked the snake, but it didn't move at all.
Tan Yuanming squinted sideways, walked forward with a look of fear on his face, and said, "So that madman is right, there are indeed snakes."
Tan Yuanming reminded Lin Xiaodong and said: "Go and call that madman. The snake is dead and his madness should be cured."
Tan Yuanming nodded and sent someone to find Tian Chengan. He found him at another Tianwang Temple and brought him here.
The villager said: "We found him. He is hiding in the Tianwang Temple!"
Lin Xiaodong smiled and said: "He thinks he will be safe if he hides in the Tianwang Temple?
Coincidentally, the snake spirit thinks so too."
When Tian Chengan saw the big snake, he jumped up in fright, pointed at the snake and went crazy: "There is a snake! There is a snake!"
Several grown men couldn't restrain him. Lin Xiaodong walked up, stretched out his finger, and injected a stream of Qing Qi into his body. He immediately calmed down.
Lin Xiaodong hugged him and forced him to the big snake, saying: "You are not crazy. You did see a two-foot-long snake that day, right here, but it is dead now."
"It's dead, do you understand?
It can no longer scare you or eat you."
Tian Chengan was so frightened that he trembled all over and kept repeating: "It's dead, dead, dead..." After saying it a dozen times in a row, his eyes gradually became clear, and he finally regained his consciousness, and he exclaimed: "It's dead.
Dead, hahahaha!"
When Tan Yuanming saw it, he happily stepped forward, took his arm, and asked, "Aren't you crazy?"
Tian Chengan looked down at himself and said happily: "I'm not crazy! It's already dead. What should I be afraid of!"
Lin Xiaodong hit him: "You should be afraid of death. If you dare to catch a snake again in the future, there is no guarantee that it will not come for your life. Maybe you will meet another snake bigger than this one!"
Tian Chengan shook his head and waved his hands: "I won't catch snakes anymore! I won't dare to do it anymore!"
Tan Yuanming laughed and patted his back: "It's good that you're awake. Thank you for the adults. Go home and wash up!"
Tian Chengan bowed to Lin Xiaodong and others repeatedly and ran home happily.
Tan Yuanming patted Lin Xiaodong with his hand and said, "Taoist Master Lin is really a master of rejuvenation. He can even cure lunatics!"
At this time, Dong Yangde hurried over with a large group of officers and soldiers. When he saw the huge pit on the ground and the big snake in front of the temple, he was so frightened that he stared and gasped.
Gao Anhe pointed at the big snake and said: "The monster has been eliminated by Taoist Lin. It is these three people who colluded with the monster and hid here, so they were not discovered by us. Send someone to escort these three people to the capital."
Dong Yangde took the order, and Gao Anhe raised his eyes in the direction of the big snake and said to Tan Yuanming: "Let's burn this snake."
As soon as they heard that a fire was going to be set, all the young and old men present got excited. Tan Yuanming called out: "Go home and get some firewood and burn this snake!"
The villagers brought a lot of wood, lit a bonfire, and burned the snake's body in front of the Tianwang Temple. After hundreds of years of hard training, once it went astray, it turned into nothing.
Dong Yangde ordered the officers and soldiers to take Yin Yunzi and the others back to the county town. Lin Xiaodong, Gao Anhe and others followed them back to the post house to spend the night.
The next morning, Xu Simin knocked on Lin Xiaodong's door.
Lin Xiaodong came to open the door, Xu Simin raised his head, blinked his beautiful eyes like autumn water, and said reluctantly: "We are going back to the capital, Master Gao is calling you."
Lin Xiaodong couldn't resist Xu Simin's earnest eyes, lowered his head and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
The two came to Gao Anhe's residence. Luo Jincheng and Chen Shilan were both there.
Gao Anhe said: "The monster has been caught. Leave the aftermath to Dong Yangde and the others. I want to return to the capital to resolve the matter of Fang Tianrui and Li Jiantong."
"Thanks to the Taoist priest, no more lives were lost in this case. I didn't expect that Fang Tianrui and Li Jiandong were already in prison, and they still wanted to harm others."
Lin Xiaodong said: "I want to treat Lin Tanghua. It's not convenient for me to go there alone. I need you, the eunuch, to come forward."
Xu Simin stood on tiptoe and raised her hands to volunteer, asking Gao Anhe with her eyes: "My lord?"
Gao Anhe agreed: "Okay, then you can report back to the eunuch later."
Xu Simin lowered his head and smiled, Gao Anhe and others packed their bags and walked with the convoy of officers and soldiers escorting Yin Yunzi and others.
Only Lin Xiaodong and Xu Simin were left in the post house. Lin Xiaodong said: "Let's go to Lai'an Village."
