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

Chapter 84: Choosing between Zhang Captou and his brother-in-law
The white-haired Taoist hit the chime in front of him with a wooden pestle, and said without sadness or joy on his face:
"Your Excellency, you are joking. Can I run away if I want to?"

"Anyway, if you can't run, it's better not to run, and it will save everyone trouble."

"I am old and frail. I have grown up in Lingfeng Temple since I was a child, and I have not cultivated my magic power. If I die in Lingfeng Temple, I will be considered as returning to my roots."

Yi Chen grinned when he heard this, showing a kind smile:
"Well said, the old Taoist priest's words are quite Taoist. But unfortunately, you still have to die. I will never leave any enemy alive under my command."

"But I think you are so sensible, so you can settle it yourself."

The old white-haired Taoist did not directly answer Yi Chen's words, but sighed deeply and said:
"As early as when senior brother and the others were secretly refining blood pills, I thought of today, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly."

"I wonder if I can make a deal with you. I will tell you the location of the hidden treasure in the temple, and then I will tell you the location of the fundamental Taoist scriptures of Lingfeng Temple."

"Your Excellency is also a practitioner. I just ask that when you meet a suitable seedling in the future, you can teach him the fundamental Taoist methods of my contemplation, and the deal will be concluded."

Seeing that Yi Chen didn't speak for a long time, the white-haired Taoist spoke again:

"Without my guidance, you will never find the relics of my Lingfeng Temple."

Yi Chen smiled when he heard this.

As early as when he tortured Taoist Taohua before, he had already inquired about all the valuable things in Lingfeng Temple.

As the financial director and external affairs manager of Lingfeng Temple, he has a close relationship with the master of Lingfeng Temple. What else doesn’t Taohua Taoist know?
Even the 'blood sacrifice' matter is his responsibility.

"I understand the Taoist priest's painstaking efforts for the inheritance of the Taoist temple, but now that I say yes, do you dare to believe it?"

"Taoist Master, let's get on our way."

Yi Chen did not answer the old Taoist's words, but took a step forward, spat out his strength, the white-haired old Taoist tilted his neck, and passed away suddenly.

People are old and treacherous, and horses are cunning.
Yi Chen was too lazy to fight with this white-haired veteran.

After a while of rummaging through boxes and cabinets, Yi Chen flashed his figure and arrived at the Patriarch Hall of Lingfeng Temple.

Judging from Yi Chen's previous experience of obtaining crimson dots, there is a high probability that items that are passed down by master practitioners for many generations and entrust the emotions and hard work of past owners contain crimson dots.

This is what Yi Chen is in urgent need of now.

There is still a gap of close to [-] between the eighth level of Pure Yang True Skill, and now he just wants to gather the remaining crimson dots as soon as possible.

Purple Ji Shengqing, when he was distracted by Zhan Zhenren Zhenyan, he briefly got a glimpse of the mystery of that realm.

That powerful feeling is still unforgettable to him.

In today's increasingly tense situation, only strength can comfort people's hearts.

"found it."

After some searching, relying on the information provided by Taohua Taoist, Yi Chen's face showed a hint of joy.

The fundamental Taoist scripture of Lingfeng Temple is called "Lingfeng Qingmiao Zhenjing", which is a jade book.

As soon as he took it, a small cold breath penetrated into Yi Chen's body instantly.

Crimson value +35.
Perhaps because the Lingfeng Temple is not strong enough and the inheritance is not long enough, the jade book does not contain many crimson values, but Yi Chen does not dislike it either.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and when picked on a plate, it becomes a vegetable.

Hasn't he taken another solid step towards the eighth level of Pure Yang True Skill?

Lingfeng Temple has been gathering for many years, and its money is basically in the form of assets deeded to acres of land. There is not much silver. Yi Chen searched and found only more than [-] taels, which contained two large boxes full of cash. .

Then there are a lot of IOUs.

They are all evidence of loans from nearby villagers or tenant farmers to Lingfeng Temple.

The interest rate was so high that Yi Chen took a cursory glance and suddenly felt that compared with Lingfeng Guan, the capitalists in the previous life were covered in merit.

These IOUs are naturally burned in a fire, they are immoral things.Under the moonlight, Yi Chen carried a box of silver and went to more than 600 households where the Kuhaha people who farmed for Lingfengguan gathered. After putting five taels of silver in each family, he carried a box of silver and disappeared. In the night.

Anyway, the wealth gathered by Lingfeng Guan was squeezed from Kuhaha. Yi Chen took it back from Lingfeng Guan and deducted half of the handling fee, which was very reasonable.

Even if Yi Chen's master Bai Yunzi gave him a dream to argue, he was not false at all.

What's the matter with earning some money based on your own ability and deducting some of your hard-earned money?
Isn’t this the way to practice benevolence and righteousness?
Now Yinlong Temple is engaged in construction everywhere, buying land and medicinal materials. Everything costs money. Yi Chen only gets half of it, and he feels like he is glowing with gold.

...

...

The next day, it was only the fifth watch and the sky was still dark.

Zhang Captou, riding a big horse and wearing official robes, led a group of people and quickly arrived near Lingfeng Temple.

"It's all cordoned off and no one else is allowed in."

After working as chief arrester for a while, today's arrester Zhang already spoke with dignity.

With an order, more than ten police officers surrounded Lingfeng Temple.

Zhang Captou took the lead and took a man named Li, who was about [-] years old, into the Taoist temple for observation.

"Brother-in-law…"

"Huh? I've said it many times. When you're at work, call me Chief Catcher!"

Just as Li Wuzuo was about to speak, he was interrupted by Zhang's side glance, and he quickly changed his words:
"Captain Zhang, there is a high probability that this Lingfeng Temple was attacked by a strongman. Each of these people died in a miserable state. We just don't know who did it. We need to report it as soon as possible."

"Report it? Report what?"

"Xiao Li, why don't you have any spirituality at all?"

"If you weren't my wife's biological brother, I wouldn't bother cultivating you."

Captain Zhang frowned and began to scold his brother-in-law. He quickly walked to a relatively complete corpse in front of him.

"Xiao Li, look, this corpse has eight of its ten fingers cut off, and there is a hole in the heart. How did he die?"

"He committed suicide! He was tortured before his death. He must have been tortured by the strongman."

"Really? Why do I feel like he committed suicide?" Zhang turned his head and stared at Xiao Li with a faint look.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!

How could anyone commit suicide by first cutting off eight of his fingers and then stabbing himself in the back? "Zhang Captou's brother-in-law, Li Wuzuo, is very confident in his professional ability, and he speaks with certainty and arguments.

Zhang Captou sighed after hearing this. He made up his mind to let his father-in-law and mother-in-law have another one in the future. This number has been abolished...
"Then just write it down. Don't ask for the reason. Just write that Lingfeng Temple has been haunted by evil spirits."

"Suffering from this catastrophe, some survivors could not bear the excitement and committed suicide."

Seeing that Li Wuzuo still wanted to argue, Zhang Captou had no choice but to persuade him quietly:

"Xiao Li, brother-in-law will teach you another lesson."

"When you encounter something unreasonable and don't understand it, you look for pigs."

"Do you think Lord Gagon is a pig? Do you think your brother-in-law is a pig?"

"When something is outrageous, but all parties agree, you have to think more carefully."

"If you can't find the pig on the farm, then the pig on the farm is probably you."
