Daoist priest, stop fighting. The avenue is almost gone.

Chapter 5 Economic Crisis and Strange Things

When the news came, Qingyunzi and Qingfeng Mingyue were chanting sutras in the main hall. When he heard the news, Qingyunzi's chanting voice paused, and then returned to its previous smoothness.

At this time, Yi Chen was weeding in a vegetable field near the Taoist temple.

Sometimes, evil people are like weeds growing in the vegetable field. The evil people are so powerful that good people have no peace.

Moreover, weeds are inexhaustible, human nature is like this, and the environment is like this. If you pull out the grass today, weeds will still grow back in a few days.

When Bai Yunzi saw the weeds, his first thought was to educate and discipline them. He would not kill them until they could be saved.

But Yi Chen is different. When he sees random weeds, his first reaction is to pull them out, because even if new weeds will continue to grow in the future, the fruits and vegetables in the vegetable field can still have peace for a few days.

The Evil Tiger Gang was a weed that was entrenched in the nearby town. It was pulled out by Yi Chen yesterday. He wanted to know how the mastermind behind the scenes would react to his drastic actions.

"If the surrounding gangs receive the news and want to stir up trouble against our Hidden Dragon Temple, they will have to consider whether they can afford the revenge from our Hidden Dragon Temple in the future."

Yi Chen touched his smooth chin and looked at the vegetable field after weeding, feeling much refreshed.

....
....
Time is like a wild donkey, it keeps running.

A month passed in the blink of an eye. It seemed that they were suppressed by the brutal methods of the Evil Tiger Gang's destruction. The Hidden Dragon Temple returned to its former peace, and no other forces came to cause trouble again.

Even the wild dogs outside walked around the Taoist temple and did not dare to bark.

If they yell too much, a tall man will come out and give them a slap in the face.

.....
.....
Straight bench press.
Flat bench press.
Barbell Squat.
Deadlift.
Upright barbell curl.
Back shoulder row.
Yi Chen, who was sweating profusely, picked up a white cloth next to him and wiped the smelly sweat all over his body. After thinking about it, he went to the well to get a few buckets of water and rinsed it, which was the end of today's exercise.

At this time, he finally accumulated a few source points.

He originally thought it would be two days earlier, but as time went by, the accumulation of source points through this ordinary method of stimulating the physical body became slower and slower.

Just when Yi Chen was still thinking about which of the four-dimensional data of strength, body, essence and sensitivity should be added to this point of origin, two cuties Qingfeng and Mingyue came over.

Qingfeng: "Elder brother."

Mingyue: "The rice in the rice vat can only be eaten for five days."

"What? The rice in the rice vat can only be eaten for five days? Didn't I just buy two loads of rice?" Yi Chen looked at Qingfeng Mingyue in surprise.

The two little Taoist boys glanced at the older brother who was getting stronger and stronger. Their eyes were very clear. That's why you can only eat for five days. Don't you have any idea?
Yi Chen touched his nose nonchalantly, as if he had eaten a little... a little too much recently.

He has not been idle this month. He works out like crazy and masochistically every day. When his strength has taken a small step forward, it has also made the already poor Taoist economy worse.

A penny beats a hero.

When he wiped out the Evil Tiger Gang before, he quickly rescued the leader Black Tiger without even knowing where most of his money was hidden. The remaining big cats and kittens had no luck at all and were all willing to sacrifice their lives rather than their wealth. Senior, he found it too troublesome and was too lazy to torture them one by one, so he simply killed them all.

Therefore, not much money was recovered at all.

After all, it was my first time to do this kind of work, so I was not very skilled in the business yet and my hands were raw.

After dismissing Qingfeng Mingyue, Yi Chen touched his chin and began to think about it.

You can't rob the rich and give to the poor. Although you have a flexible moral bottom line, you have promised your master that you will practice benevolence and righteousness.

This road is temporarily blocked.

Relying on antique celadon bowls to fish, sell chickens, kittens and puppies is even more unfeasible. After several times of fishing, the wealthy locals nearby were almost wiped out.

In response to this new situation, it is necessary to open up new tracks and develop new playing methods based on the pain points of local big money.

This approach must have a tipping point, be reusable, qualitative and quantitative, and create new business models.

It's a pity that the new methodology Yi Chen has not yet formed...

bitter also.

Just when Yi Chen was having a headache about the money, suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door in the front yard.

"Taoist, Taoist, open the door, something serious is going on."

Yi Chen hurried to the front yard and opened the door.

He is a middle-aged policeman.

He has a beard and looks dusty.

The head catcher Zhang Long and Yi Chen looked at each other, then raised their heads and looked at the plaque above, and checked again whether they were in the wrong place.

"Hello, is this Yinlong Temple? The Taoist priest is a bit unfamiliar. I'll look for Taoist Baiyunzi." Zhang Long looked at the Taoist in front of him who was stronger than Xiong Zan, and his tone became very polite, and his expression He also became very vigilant.

He looked like he was ready to run away at any time if there was any trouble.

Because Yi Chen had just finished training and was still wearing a close-fitting shorts instead of a Taoist robe, he looked more like a bandit than a Taoist priest.

Yi Chen was speechless and choked. He didn't know why. Ever since Xiao Chunyang Gong broke through to the unprecedented fifth level, he was getting stronger day by day, and his height even exceeded the 1.9 meter mark. It was only recently that he began to stabilize. .

"The master is dead. Now I am the master of the Hidden Dragon Temple. If anything happens to Capt. Zhang, you can tell me." Zhang Long did not recognize Yi Chen, but Yi Chen recognized who the captor in front of him was.

He met his master two years ago.

"Are you the little Taoist next to Taoist Bai Yunzi?" Zhang Long looked like he had seen a ghost when he heard this. He stared at Yi Chen for a long time, and finally came face to face with the slightly blurry face in his memory.

"Haha, Zhang Captou has a good memory. He has eaten a lot in the past two years and has grown faster, which makes Zhang Captou laugh."

Yi Chen led the people into the backyard, Qingfeng Mingyue served tea and then retreated. Only then did Zhang Long, the head catcher, talk endlessly about his purpose.

It turns out that a strange thing happened recently in the nearby Qingyuan Town.

Residents in the town found that their pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks and other livestock had died inexplicably, leaving only corpses that had been drained of blood on the ground. The chief catcher of Fengyun County led seven or eight detectives to personally investigate, but the results were unexpected. Gone and never returned.

Several detectives were also drained of their blood and became old bacon.

After Zhang Captou explained the reason in one breath, he took a sip of tea and smacked his lower lip. The tea was bland and had a slightly stale taste. It was obviously not good tea.He frowned and swallowed the tea, stared at Yi Chen with burning eyes and said, "Daoist Master Yi, what do you think?"

Yi Chen: “…..”

Yi Chen: "Zhang Captou, you might as well speak more clearly."

Zhang Captou put down the tea and said seriously:
"Then I'll be honest. The county leader hopes that Yinlongguan can intervene in this matter. He doesn't want to report it to the people from the imperial town Ansi to handle it. This will affect the evaluation of the county leader."

"God has the virtue of good life. Everyone in Fengyun County knows the reputation of Taoist Baiyunzi. As Taoist Priest Baiyunzi's disciple, Taoist Priest will definitely be able to handle this little evil thing properly."

Zhang Captou casually put a big hat on Yi Chen's head, as if if Yi Chen took action, the matter would be easily captured.

When Yi Chen heard this, he immediately laughed in his heart.

Ten big characters flashed through my mind immediately.

"I don't usually burn incense, but you want me to help you if something happens?"

Zhang Captou was trying to trick him into taking advantage of him. He wanted to prostitute him for nothing and let him risk his life with evil spirits. How could this be possible?

Yi Chen didn't have the pure Yang power to become a master, and he didn't even have extraordinary means. Even if his small pure Yang skill had been promoted to the unprecedented fifth level and had the special effect of warding off evil spirits, he didn't want to take a chance on it.

Let him take the risk once.

Gotta pay more!
Prostitution for free is not acceptable.

If he had that time, he might as well think about new routines and new ways of playing, perfect the next fishing methodology, or do another triathlon to earn a few more source points.

After all, the source point can also improve his four-dimensional strength. Although it is not as fast as the crimson point, it is worse than safety.

His moral level has never been very high. Although he does not commit crimes or abuse good people, there is no way for him to burn himself and illuminate others.

Seeing off guests must be done!

Yi Chen raised his teacup casually:
"The breeze, the bright moon."

At this time, Zhang Captou took out a 200-tael silver note from his chest and continued: "Taoist Master, the county minister said that the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. Yinlong Temple has always been our mission in Fengyun County to combat evil spirits." Mainstay.

These 200 taels were given to the Taoist priest for carriage expenses.

The county magistrate took this matter very seriously, and the mayor of Qingyuan Town reportedly invited Master Lianhua from the nearby Yuelun Temple.

However, this matter has already caused a major impact, and the county official believes that it is more appropriate for Yinlongguan to also intervene in the investigation.

If this matter is completed, the county government will still have a thank you gift of 300 taels after it is completed.

Even if the matter is not resolved, as long as the Taoist priest makes this trip, the 200 taels will belong to the Taoist priest. "

Yi Chen stood up after hearing the words, his expression changed as fast as a certain ice cream employee at a car in his previous life, he took the banknote and put it in his pocket like a breeze:

"Your Majesty, you are really good at judging people!"

"That's right, our Yinlong Temple has always been to uphold the right path, slay demons and demons, and carry out actions to rectify the source. For such evil spirits to cause chaos, our Yinlong Temple, as the mainstay of Fengyun County, is naturally bound to shoulder our responsibilities."

"Qingfeng, Mingyue, why is the tea on Zhang's head so weak? Change it quickly and serve tea again. Serve good tea! Add more tea leaves!"

Yi Chen collected the banknotes and said with a smile:

"Zhang Captou, you are neglecting me."

"I'll leave early tomorrow morning for Qingyuan Town."

.....
.....
.....
At night, Yi Chen and Qing Yunzi sat opposite each other.

"Senior brother, why are you taking risks?"

"Of course it's for the sake of all the people in the world." Yi Chen looked compassionate.

Qingyunzi had a dark look on his face and didn't even believe in the punctuation: "Senior brother, to be honest, evil spirits can be big or small. You can easily fall into it if you are not careful. You should think twice about this matter."

"I have read through all the master's books, miscellaneous talks, and notes. The evil spirits' strength is usually divided into levels such as wandering, resentment, severe, fierce, evil, killing, and disaster."

"The master encountered two ferocious ghosts fighting fiercely and used forbidden techniques to kill them. This damaged his vitality and caused him to die before his longevity."

"Senior brother, the master has said that even if the Little Pure Yang Kung is cultivated to the fourth level, it can at most bully the low-grade Xie Sui of the lower-grade Resentment level, and can at most be tied with the middle-grade Xie Sui of the Resentment-level. It's good to be able to run away when encountering high-grade evil spirits."

Yi Chen: "When did master say this? Why don't I know?"

Qingyunzi: "Senior brother, you seem to hate morning classes the most, so you went to the mountains to catch pheasants on the pretext of peeing. You said they were worth a lot of money."

Yi Chen: "..."

Qing Yunzi: "..."

Yi Chen faintly took out a 200-tael silver check and an employment document from his chest, and sighed: "Junior brother, you are too late. I have already collected the deposit, signed the signature, and will leave tomorrow."

"If you run away from the battle, the Taoist temple will be ruined and you will have to pay double the deposit. How can the Taoist temple have the money to compensate now."

"But." Qingyunzi looked a little anxious and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Yi Chen.

"I know you are in a hurry now, junior brother, but don't be anxious first. Isn't Master Lianhua from Yuelun Temple still here?"

"Junior brother, you know that I am in danger of not being able to handle it when the time comes. I will definitely run faster than anyone else."

"The banknote cannot be refunded. If there is any danger, just suffer Master Lianhua again. I will bear the insult." Yi Chen said, licking his face.

Qingyunzi: "..." Master, you are really good at judging people.

At this time, Qingyunzi understood a little bit what the master meant when he said that the elder brother was evil-hearted and evil-handed before he died.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord." Qingyunzi announced a Taoist slogan. Seeing that Yi Chen had made up his mind, he exited the room.
