Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 98

Oval in shape, the size of a palm, made of bronze, engraved with two big characters "Youchui" on the front, and Chen Jin's surname, hometown, age and other personal information are engraved on the back.

This is the Patrol Division's wandering arrest license. With it, even if you don't have a citation document, you can enter and exit various state capitals, which is quite convenient.

Of course, after becoming a wanderer, you have to complete the task events every year. If you don't do enough, you will be removed from the list and your license will be revoked.

Yang Rong persuaded: "Chen Jin, with your ability, you can do fast arrests. Why do you want to be a wandering arrest? There is no fixed salary for wandering arrests."

Chen Jin suddenly thought of the phrase "the end of practice is establishment", and smiled: "My original intention was not to work as an officer in the patrol and arrest department. If things go well in the future, I will probably go to study and test my reputation."

Yang Rong stopped persuading him. Chen Jin was admitted as a scholar at a young age, and he had a good chance of being promoted, or even a Jinshi. For most people, that was the real road to officialdom.

Leave the patrol department and return to the house.

At dusk, Ma Shengshen came and said, "Shou Heng, my subordinates have found some information."

"please say."

"This happened in Mazishan, Mazishan, do you know?"

Chen Jin replied: "Behind Li Village."

"It is said that a strange person came to the mountain recently. It wasn't a monk who cut his hair again and was dressed in tatters. He lived on the mountain and claimed to save the lonely ghosts on the mountain."

As soon as Chen Jin heard it, he knew that it must be Su Xiancheng, and he really didn't leave Lingnan. After thinking about it, he asked: "As far as I know, Mazi Mountain belongs to the mass grave, and that place is within the sphere of influence of Li Village. Allow him to save the souls of the dead?"

For the ghost breeders in Li Village, the main source of ghosts is the mountains. If the dead souls are all rescued by Su Xiancheng, wouldn't that mean "cutting people's fortunes"?
Ma Shengshen murmured, "I also find it strange."

Chen Jin said, "Since I found someone, I'm going out of the city now."

"I'll go with you."

"Where is sister-in-law?"

"I told her, it's all right, and it's not the first time I'm out of town for business."

Ma Shengshen obviously treated the matter as a case of the Patrol Division.

……

Li Village in the twilight is silent, and there is no fire smoke. From a distance, it looks like a still life, as if it was painted there, and there is no sense of popularity.

When the twilight turned into night, there was a sudden sound in the darkness, first one, then the second, and the third...

In an instant, the whole village came alive. Some people were talking and greeting each other;

Whoa!
On the big tree at the entrance of the village, "human heads" fluttered one after another, making strange laughter.

A house in the center of the village was lit with a lamp, and the lights were green, completely different from normal oil lamps, but will-o'-the-wisps.

A ghost cultivator takes the ghost fire as the core, the higher the level of cultivation, the more vigorous the ghost fire.

Now in the house, there are several will-o'-the-wisps gathered together, talking about things:
"The man on the mountain is not dead."

"How many days has he been here?"

"It's been three days."

"Don't talk about the resentment and evil spirits on the mountain. Ordinary people can't bear it at all. It's just food and drink. How can he deal with it?"

Old Ghost Li's voice sounded: "That proves that he is not an ordinary person."

"But I saw it the other day, and he was a frail man, walking slowly, holding a stick in his hand, and the end of the stick was worn to pieces."

"What about other situations?"

"Xiao Wu'er asked who he was, but he said he didn't know. We thought he was just a homeless wanderer and felt that he was going to die, so we ran to Mazishan, so we ignored him."

Mazi Mountain is a mass burial mound, which not only accommodates dead bodies without owners; some people want to seek death, but they will also run to the mountain, dig a hole for themselves, and then lie down in it to die.

This kind of thing is absurd to say, but there are some people who are too poor, have no land and no land, and want to be buried in the earth, but they can't. They can only bury themselves in mass graves. The typical "can't afford to die" .

"Who knew that he actually built a tent on the mountain, and then took out a wooden fish. The wooden fish was rotten, and the sound it made was terrible, and then he started to chant scriptures, saying that he wanted to save the souls of the dead... This is simply absurd. absurd!"

Speaking of this, the will-o'-the-wisps were so excited.

Old Ghost Li pondered and said: "This person is really weird. Could it be that he is an ascetic?"

"What kind of monk is he? He knocks wooden fish on the mountain and recites Buddhist scriptures every day. It's annoying to death. And I noticed that the resentment and evil energy on the mountain has really decreased, which is not good."

"Yes, the mountain is the foundation of our village, so it must not be destroyed by others."

"Send someone up and kill him!"

"Kill! Eat!"

Several groups of will-o'-the-wisps shouted one after another.

Old Ghost Li shouted: "Stop croaking, you forget our ancestral precepts, don't you kill monks?"

"But how does he look like a monk? He hasn't been shaved or ordained, and he doesn't even have decent clothes. In my opinion, he's probably a wild monk, not a formal monk."

Old Ghost Li sneered: "If you're a wild monk, where did you get the practice method? How can you do the work of transcendence?"

All the will-o'-the-wisps were dumbfounded.

This is indeed an incomprehensible thing.

Old Ghost Li said again: "He is not afraid of the resentful evil spirits on the mountain, which in itself shows that he is different. Don't say that he can't kill, even if he can do it, whether he can deal with it in the end is another matter."

A group of will-o'-the-wisps wondered: "This won't work, that won't work, let him mess around on the mountain?"

Old Ghost Li snorted: "I've let someone leak the news, I believe it won't be long before someone from the Patrol Division will come."

Hearing this, several will-o'-the-wisps immediately understood what was going on, and they all praised: "The village chief's technique of borrowing a knife to kill people is very good."

Old Ghost Li said triumphantly: "Let the patrolling department come forward to handle the matter, and let's watch the fire from the other side. We don't have to violate the ancestral precepts, and we can solve the problem."

Just as he was talking, a cloud of will-o'-the-wisp floated over to report, "Village Chief, there are people from outside the village."

Old Ghost Li asked: "But someone from the Patrol Division?"

"I can't see clearly. There are two people who are riding horses. One of them is as vigorous as a raging fire. I just looked at it from a distance and was almost burned to death. I ran back quickly."

Old Ghost Li was startled: "So powerful? Could it be that Yang Rongzhen's governor personally came out? It doesn't make sense."

After a pause, he hurriedly asked, "Do they have any intention of entering the village?"

"Look, I'm going up the mountain."

Old Ghost Li waited until he was relieved, as long as he didn't break into the village, he could say anything.

Suddenly, another cloud of will-o'-the-wisp floated anxiously and said: "Village chief, something is wrong, my daughter said she was going to watch the excitement, so she went up the mountain alone."

"what?"

Old Ghost Li was taken aback: "It's just nonsense! No, I have to find her back."

Whoosh, the will-o'-the-wisp flew out.

　It seems that Yang has recovered, and I have a headache, and my whole body is limp and weak...
