Becoming an Immortal from the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 138
The villagers and the girl raised their arms excitedly and shouted in unison:
"Sacrifice the moon to welcome the cold, and build an altar at night. After the ceremony, offer an offering, and my lord will enjoy it!"

The big centipede had already crawled out half of its body from the deep hole at this time, but instead of continuing, it stopped and stared at Zhang Yuqing coldly.

One person and one centipede just looked at each other like this.

The villagers and the girl began to have doubts on their faces, wondering why the master did not enjoy the offerings.

Zhang Yuqing released his spiritual thoughts, sensed the strong evil spirit in the centipede, and stretched out his hand to grab the big centipede.

There was a sharp hiss like a demonstration on the face of the big centipede, and the two tentacles also stood up suddenly.

Zhang Yuqing didn't stop, he was about to catch the big centipede.

At this time, the big centipede made an unexpected move.

It exposed half of its body from the hole, and quickly shrank into the hole, trying to escape.

"This..." The villagers and the girl were dumbfounded.

In their hearts, the giant centipede has always been synonymous with cruelty, terror and evil. While they are afraid of the giant centipede, they are also full of admiration for the giant centipede.

However, at this time, the big centipede actually escaped?This is the first time they have seen each other.

Seeing that the big centipede retracted into the hole, it was about to flee underground.

Zhang Yuqing jumped up suddenly, and quickly stuck his arms into the hole:

"Don't want to run!"

Zhang Yuqing's arm stirred wildly in the deep hole, causing the clods around the deep hole to bulge and break.

When his arm was withdrawn from the hole, the large centipede was already wrapped around it.

Zhang Yuqing tightly pinched the big centipede's neck, and carefully looked at the pocket human face on its head.

Suddenly, a gust of poisonous gas spewed out from the mouth of that human face, and it sprayed on Zhang Yuqing's face in an instant.

I saw that the skin on Zhang Yuqing's face was rotting away quickly, but new skin grew back and returned to its original state.

"What are you?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

The human face on the big centipede's head let out a fierce voice: "Let go of me! Otherwise, someone will come to seek revenge on you!"

Its voice is neither male nor female, very enchanting.

Zhang Yuqing said in surprise: "There are more? Can you call them here?"

The big centipede fell silent for a moment and didn't speak anymore.

Seeing that the big centipede was unwilling to speak, Zhang Yuqing couldn't help being a little disappointed. He easily crushed the big centipede, wanting to test whether it would continue to speak.

The big centipede screamed and twisted in pain, but just stared at Zhang Yuqing's face distortedly, as if wanting to remember him, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.

The terrified faces of the girl and the villagers were full of fear at this moment, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

The master they admired was killed by this man like a chicken and a dog. They felt that the sky was about to collapse.

These remaining people can no longer be called human beings, but evil vassals, so they were easily eliminated by Zhang Yuqing.

Finally, Zhang Yuqing woke up the middle-aged man who had passed out from fright:
"Hey! Time to go!"

After the middle-aged man woke up, he was so scared that he kept away from Zhang Yuqing: "You! What kind of monster are you?!"

"I'm the headhunter in Lucheng, come with me!"

Zhang Yuqing picked up the middle-aged man and returned to the original road.

The sky in the east has turned pale, and the dim light has brightened the surroundings.

Zhang Yuqing returned to the bushes, and the ugly woman was still standing there with her pipa in her arms.

Zhang Yuqing glanced at her, then continued to lead the middle-aged man forward.

Among the evil spirits, she couldn't help herself. Besides Sun Xiaohe, this woman was the second one he had ever seen.

There are exceptions to everything, and among the evil spirits, they are also a rare exception.

Zhang Yuqing had harvested enough evil energy tonight, and there was no shortage of this strand, so Zhang Yuqing didn't care about her.

As he gradually moved away from the woman, the calm middle-aged man couldn't help asking:
"Who is she?"

Zhang Yuqing answered, "She is the benefactor who saved your son..."

In the end, the middle-aged man couldn't help turning his head to look at the woman.

The woman was still standing there silently, as if waiting calmly.

The morning sun peeked out from the top of the hill, piercing the morning mist with golden rays, and sprinkled all over the weedy wilderness.

The woman raised her head and looked at the rising sun.

The warm sunshine sprinkled all over her body, and wisps of green smoke rose from her body.

Under the horrified eyes of the middle-aged man, the woman was fragmented bit by bit and disappeared.

The wilderness is full of vitality in the early morning, and the thick weeds are woven like a green carpet. Who would have thought that after nightfall, this place would be a frightening place.

The two walked through the wilderness and continued towards the manor.

The sun is rising higher and higher, and the wind is warm, dispelling the cold and making people feel warm all over.

On the way, the middle-aged man kept asking how his wife and children were doing.

The morning breeze brought the fragrance of tea trees, a gentle slope appeared in the line of sight of the two, and further away was the green tea mountain.

The manor is not far away, just behind the gentle slope.

When the two walked up the gentle slope, they saw the manor down the slope and the people who had already been waiting outside the manor.

With the gentle breeze, the flowers and plants on the slope and the middle-aged man's hair and beard swayed with it.

A group of young and strong workers working in the tea house suddenly burst into cheers.

Seeing this scene, Boss Cai couldn't help but said with joy and annoyance: "These mud legs really succeeded! They dared to threaten me last night, and I must deduct their wages! But as long as people are fine, it's fine."

The middle-aged man looked at his wife and daughter walking out of the crowd, covered his face and wept hard, but his slightly hunched body felt capable of taking any responsibility.

Zhang Yuqing and the middle-aged man walked down the gentle slope.

The woman rushed forward with the little boy in her arms, and the middle-aged man held them quietly in his arms.

The couple blamed each other again, and at the same time poured out their worries to each other.

Although the boy who was hugged by the couple didn't know much about it, he cried when he saw his parents crying.

The elegant and handsome Lu Junsheng walked up to Zhang Yuqing: "The bloody handprint on Xiaolong's body disappeared, so I knew Brother Zhang had succeeded!"

Lucheng, night patrol guard government office.

After a busy night, Xia Mingxuan finally walked out of the study.

The bright sun shone on his body, but tiredness began to flood his body.

A night guard guarding outside the study stepped forward and said:

"Lord Captain, Master Zhou asked for an audience last night, and has been waiting in the side room for a long time."

Xia Mingxuan was full of doubts when he heard this: "Zhou Cunjian? Why did he come to see me? Why didn't you inform me immediately, the county captain?"

The night guard hurriedly replied: "Master Zhou said that there is no need to rush to report, and he will see him after you are done."

Xia Mingxuan waved his hand: "Understood, I'll go see him right away."

The side room is not far from the study, and Xia Mingxuan came outside the room soon.

It's just that the door is closed, leaving only a gap.

Xia Mingxuan pushed open the door, only to see that all the windows in the room were closed tightly, blocking the sunlight and making the room dark and gloomy.

"Master Zhou?"

Xia Mingxuan walked into the room and shouted.

After waiting for a while, no one answered.

Xia Mingxuan shook his head, did Zhou Cunjian leave?
Just when he was about to leave, a faint voice suddenly sounded from behind the screen: "Master Xia"

Xia Mingxuan asked suspiciously: "Master Zhou, don't you need to find me for something? What are you doing behind the screen?"

Zhou Cunjian's voice continued to come from behind the screen: "Lord Xia, close the door quickly, I have something confidential to tell you."

Xia Mingxuan frowned, but still closed the door and bolted it.

With the door closed, the room became darker and darker, even in the daytime, it gave people a cold feeling.

"Master Zhou, just speak up if you have anything to say." Xia Mingxuan became impatient.

Zhou Cunjian's voice still sounded from behind the screen: "Master Xia, come here, I only tell you this matter, come here quickly!"

Xia Mingxuan suppressed his impatience and walked behind the screen.

The corner behind the screen was even darker. I saw Zhou Cunjian squatting in the darkness, holding his knees and hanging his head like a child.

"Master Zhou." Xia Mingxuan asked. "Are you OK?"

Zhou Cunjian remained silent, still squatting on the spot.

Xia Mingxuan began to feel angry, did Zhou Cunjian play tricks on himself?

He stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhou Cunjian's shoulder.

Seeing that his hand was about to touch Zhou Cunjian's body, Xia Mingxuan suddenly stopped.

Then, he suddenly withdrew his hand, quickly took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and sprinkled the liquid inside towards Zhou Cunjian.

"Spirit blood!"

Zhou Cunjian's speed was even faster, he jumped up from the ground suddenly, as agile as an ape.

The spiritual blood was scattered, Xia Mingxuan kicked over the screen, and took out another bottle of spiritual blood. At the same time, he drew out his waist knife and vigilantly looked for Zhou Cunjian in the dark room.

"Hey hey hey hey"

A strange laugh suddenly sounded above his head.

Xia Mingxuan raised his head, and saw Zhou Cunjian grasping the beam with both hands and feet, twisting his head to the back, looking down at Xia Mingxuan on the ground with a sinister smile on his face.

At this time, Zhou Cunjian did not look like the mighty county captain before. His mouth was open, mucus dripped from it, and his face was full of evil and bewitching.

Xia Mingxuan turned pale with shock, and hurriedly wanted to spill his spiritual blood again.

However, at this time, Zhou Cunjian jumped down from the beam of the house and rushed towards Xia Mingxuan who was directly below.

Xia Mingxuan's movements were already fast, but compared to Zhou Cunjian who was extremely agile, he was still a bit slower.

As a gust of wind hit his face, Xia Mingxuan was pushed to the ground, and he thought to himself: It's over!
"Bah!"

When the room could not be opened, the door was kicked open from the outside.

Strong sunlight poured into the house from the outside in an instant.

Zhou Cunjian, who had just pressed Xia Mingxuan, was shone by the sun, screaming in pain, and white smoke rose from his body.

An old man with an extraordinary bearing stepped in from outside the house, it was Fei Qingquan, the star supervisor.

"Where is the evil? How dare you make trouble in my night patrol office!"

Zhou Cunjian didn't care about Xia Mingxuan, and quickly ran to a dark corner of the room to avoid the sunlight.

Only then did Xia Mingxuan get up from the ground triumphantly. He retreated to Fei Qingquan with the porcelain bottle in his hand, and stared at Zhou Cunjian in the corner vigilantly: "He was caught."

Anger flashed in Fei Qingquan's eyes: "How many years have passed, and no evil spirit dares to haunt Lucheng. Where did you come from?"

Zhou Cunjian in the corner slowly climbed up the vertical wall, turned his head around, pointed at Fei Qingquan and said, "Fei Qingquan, quickly prepare the living souls in Lucheng, my master will soon Pick it up at your door."

Fei Qingquan stepped forward and asked sharply, "Who is your master?"

Zhou Cunjian stared at Fei Qingquan and laughed maniacally: "Hey hey hey hey hey hey. My master is called Yingxiao, and we are old friends with your Fei family!"

When Fei Qingquan heard this name, his expression changed dramatically.

Such a powerful evil spirit really wants to come to Lucheng
Zhou Cunjian slowly crawled along the window lattice: "Hey hey hey hey! You are scared! I can feel that you are so scared! Hahahahaha."

Fei Qingquan became angry from embarrassment: "Looking for death!"

With a movement of his figure, he had agility that didn't match his old appearance, and he came to Zhou Cunjian's side in an instant.

Fei Qingquan stretched out his arm, spread his five fingers, and stabbed into Zhou Cunjian's back.

The power of inheritance in the blood surged wildly, and the veins on his arms burst out. In just a short moment, Zhou Cunjian's whole body exploded with a "boom!".

In the blood mist, a wisp of black earth energy writhed like a black snake.

It felt the flesh and blood of a living person, and flew towards Xia Mingxuan instantly.

Fei Qingquan snorted coldly, and slammed the window beside him into pieces.

The sunlight from the outside enveloped the earth's air inside, and the earth's air twisted wildly, like a wounded insect.

In just a moment, the earth's air disappeared in the sunlight.

Xia Mingxuan breathed a sigh of relief for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and went forward to thank Fei Qingquan: "Thank you for your help, my lord."

Fei Qingquan's face was still ugly: "Immediately let all the night patrols, yamen servants and defenders shrink back into the city, and at the same time conduct a strict investigation in the city to sweep away the hidden evil spirits!"

"Subordinates obey!" Xia Mingxuan said, "The five ghosts are really coming—"

"Shut up!" Fei Qingquan interrupted, "The superior ordered the bronze coffin to be strictly guarded, and I will defend it with all my might, and we must not let it fall into the hands of evil spirits!"

Xia Mingxuan wanted to say something more, but hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't say it.

Outside the manor, on the tea mountain, the tea pickers invited by Boss Cai are already busy.

But Boss Cai was frowning in the living room of the manor: "Madam, you are a good housekeeper, so you can give me some advice. The headhunter is here, should I give this gift or not?"

Madam just woke up and finished washing. She took a sip of tea, and then looked at Boss Cai in disbelief: "Sir, you have been working outside for nothing all these years? How can you let him come home empty-handed when he comes to our house to arrest you?" What if someone complains that you don't understand the rules, and you will be embarrassed in the future?"

Boss Cai sighed and said: "Madam is right, but two days ago, someone gave the arrester a big gift, what happened? The next day the arrester came to the door and beat the man to death! "

"Huh?" Madam was startled, "There are such people who turn their faces and deny people in this world?"

Boss Cai sighed: "Isn't it? If I don't give it away, I will be missed; if I give it away, I might be beaten to death. What do you think I should do?"

Madam smiled: "The county magistrate is still your cousin after all, and the head catcher who works in the yamen will never make things difficult for his cousin who is an official."

Boss Cai's brows were still full of worries: "Ma'am, do you know who the gift-giver was who was beaten to death by the arrest?"

Madam raised the teacup to her lips and asked without thinking, "Who is it?"

Boss Cai popped out: "The head of the Dahe Gang, Di Xudong!"
