"Well, I'm here to take care of your business and figure out who I am and where I came from." Lin Ji said with a smile.
The Taoist priest was stunned.
"Brother, you..."
"Taoist priest, if you don't understand, don't blame me for taking someone away! It's unjustifiable to be cheating on the roadside in broad daylight."
"Hahaha, Pindao, this is just to make a living. Brother, don't make fun of Pindao."
The Taoist priest moved the stall quickly, folded it up into a box, and carried it on his back.
"It turns out that my brother is the chief catcher of Qingyang County. Since I came to Qingyang County from Pindao, I have heard all day about how wise and powerful the chief catchers in the county are and how extraordinary they are..."
"Okay, stop flattering." Lin Ji waved his hand quickly.
When he first met this man in Tongtian Town, Lin Ji brought him into the town using the Supervisor Tiansi's beheading order.
The beheading order is the status symbol of Jian Tiansi's arresters in various states, so it is not surprising that the Taoist priest wants to know his identity.
It's just that as soon as the front foot figured it out, the back foot started to flatter the snake, which was a bit too fast.
At this moment, the Taoist priest's stomach suddenly made a sound.
Lin Ji gave him a rather strange look.
"Can a monk still starve himself?"
"When you go out, you will inevitably be embarrassed." The Taoist priest felt quite embarrassed.
"Come with me. We have some friendship. I'm in a good mood today and I'd like to treat you to a meal."
"How embarrassing." The Taoist priest rubbed his hands and followed Lin Ji, his eyes narrowed in laughter.
Lin Ji took the Taoist priest to Ruyilou again. This was the only decent restaurant in the county.
The shopkeeper was a little surprised to see Lin Ji.
"Why is Capt. Lin here again? But the food just now is not to your taste. Just wait, I will ask the chef to prepare another table for you."
"It's not me, it's this Taoist priest." Lin Ji pointed to the Taoist priest behind him and said, "This is my friend. It's a rare meeting. You can just ask the chef to make a few dishes to go with the wine."
"Okay, please come upstairs."
Lin Ji took the Taoist priest upstairs. It was noon when the restaurant was loading customers, and the window seat was already occupied.
It was also the restaurant that saw Lin Jigang leaving, so they didn't leave a seat for him.
When the two guests by the window saw Lin Ji coming, they quickly stood up and offered up their seats.
"No need, you eat your food, it doesn't matter where I sit."
With that said, Lin Ji took the Taoist priest and sat down at the table next to the stairs.
Not long after, the best wine and food were brought out. They said they were just a simple meal, but the restaurant still arranged a full table.
The delicious food was right in front of him, but the Taoist priest was not in a hurry to do it, but gave Lin Ji a slight bow.
"I'm sorry, but I'd like to thank Lin for his kindness."
"You're welcome." Lin Ji returned the favor with a smile.
After saluting, the Taoist priest began to feast, without any of the previous etiquette.
Seeing this guy eating with his mouth full of oil, rubbing it on his sleeve and then continuing to eat, Lin Ji was quite speechless.
"Slow down, no one is going to fight you."
The Taoist priest was concentrating on eating and did not respond.
Lin Jize asked casually: "Taoist Priest Pingxin, didn't you say you went to Liangcheng to slay ghosts, why did you come to Qingyang County again?"
Speaking of this matter, Taoist Pingxin stopped eating like a whirlwind.
"Then Liangcheng... is not a place for humans!"
"Oh? Tell me in detail." Lin Ji's eyes lit up and he asked quickly.
Taoist Pingxin seemed to be half full, so he no longer reincarnated as a starving ghost like before.
Instead, he held a chicken leg in one hand and a wine glass in the other, and said slowly and comfortably: "When the news came out that Liangcheng was besieged by thousands of ghosts, the monks all over the world thought that Liangcheng would be in trouble soon... but it turned out that
After that, it is true that ten thousand ghosts will besiege the city, but they will only besiege it but not attack it!"
"It's been almost half a month, and the people in the city, apart from being frightened all day long, haven't suffered any damage at all. Do you think this is strange?"
Lin Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking of the fierce ghost he caught last night, and said, "I heard that it was the ghost king who restrained his subordinates like this."
"That's true." Taoist Pingxin sighed, "Anyway, many monks who rushed to Liangcheng saw that the city was clear, so they went out to kill ghosts."
"Looking for death." Lin Ji subconsciously said.
"Who says otherwise!" Taoist Pingxin nodded quickly and said, "Ghosts don't attack the city, but that doesn't mean they don't hurt people. When the monks go out, aren't they just giving them food rations?"
"As far as Pindao has seen with his own eyes, two fourth-level monks died in the hands of the ghost commander. As for the monks at lower levels, they have died in countless numbers."
"So powerful?" Lin Ji was a little surprised, "Even a ghost commander took action?"
The ghost general's strength is probably between the third and fourth realms, while the ghost commander's strength is between the fifth and sixth realms.
Stronger Ghost Commanders can compete head-on with the Sun Traveling Realm monk I just met before.
Even under the Ghost King, there are not many ghost commanders.
"I estimate that if the Ghost King doesn't give the order, the Ghost Commanders will also panic." At this point, Taoist Pingxin suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Today's Liangcheng Ghost King can no longer suppress the fierce ghosts under his command. That's all."
Within a few days, many fierce ghosts had fled in all directions and no longer obeyed the Ghost King's orders."
"There are already fierce ghosts wreaking havoc in Liang City all the time. The people are afraid to go out. The monks like us who are assisting in the boxing are not even allowed to breathe for a moment."
Taoist Pingxin looked helpless and continued: "With Lord Zhan Chengfeng guarding the city, there is no problem. Others don't know, but I, the poor Taoist, can't bear the torture of having to be vigilant all the time, so I
Escaped."
"Captain Lin, you must be careful about this matter. I heard that Lianghe County and Yunyang County have been ravaged by evil spirits, and many people have died."
"I know this. I just took care of a few ghosts who escaped from Liangcheng last night." Lin Ji nodded and said strangely, "No, Lianghe County and Yunyang County are farther away from Liangcheng than Qingyang County."
Even further away, why are there only a few fierce ghosts in Qingyang County?"
"I know this." Taoist Pingxin said with a smile, "It is Master Xingchi from Daliang Temple who is guarding the direction from Liangcheng to Qingyang County. One man can guard the gate and no one can open it. It is very majestic! I, a poor Taoist, can leave.
Liangcheng is also like this."
Hearing this, Lin Ji's face remained calm, but he sighed slightly in his heart.
Master Xingchi doesn't care about anything, but only Qingyang County, which makes it difficult for him not to be associated with him.
"What on earth are you looking for? You don't say anything, but you always look after me." Lin Ji frowned a little.
At this moment, Lin Ji glanced across the first floor of the restaurant inadvertently, and found two warriors standing at the door.
The two men had handsome features and clean faces, and each carried a long sword behind his back. They looked like a chivalrous and righteous hero.
Just too young.
The Taoist priest noticed Lin Ji's gaze, followed it, and then chuckled.
"Two little girls."
"Yes, a woman disguised as a man." Lin Jido looked at it twice and then withdrew his gaze.
