I have a heavenly book of merit and virtue

Chapter 28 The secret guard of Tiantiansi?
  The next day, the morning sun rose, and the sunlight fell on the earth, reflecting a golden color.

After half a month, Chen Yan once again stepped on the road of Shanxi Town and felt the bustling hawking sounds on the streets. Chen Yan suddenly had the illusion of being in another world.

It was obvious that he had only been away for half a month, but Chen Yan felt like he had been away for several years.

But this is no wonder Chen Yan, because compared to half a month ago, he is no longer what he used to be.

Half a month ago, he could only pass the first level of Qi and Blood, not even the second level of Qi and Blood. He only learned one blood evil sword technique.

Half a month later, he was already a powerful martial artist who was on the verge of breaking through the realm of true power in the three levels of Qi and Blood. He had mastered the "Wandering Dragon Step", an entry-level movement technique. More importantly, his blood evil sword technique had also reached its peak level. It has reached a point where it is comparable to a martial arts master.

Not to mention that he still has a thousand merits that he has not spent yet. Maybe these one thousand merits have the method of practice he wants?
  Moreover, after the battle with the Hutou Mountain Bandits, Chen Yan's momentum had undergone earth-shaking changes.

If he was still young and immature before, now he has a hint of bloody evil in his brows.

In fact, not only Chen Yan, but also the fortune on his shoulders, after killing people and seeing blood, they all have a hint of ferocity.

Chen Yang was about to go back, but Liu Laodao held him back:

"Don't be in a hurry to go back. You go somewhere with Lao Dao first."

Chen Yan was stunned: "Where to go?"

"You will know when you go."

With that said, the old Taoist led Chen Yan around Shanxi Town for a while, and finally stopped in front of a restaurant.

The restaurant doesn't look big, only two floors high. Since it's not a meal, there are no people in the lobby. There is only a waiter with a sweat towel on his shoulder, sitting inside and taking a nap, and a shopkeeper. A middle-aged man stood at the counter and was calculating.

Liu Laodao took Chen Yan and stepped in, deliberately stepping in with his right foot first. The shopkeeper glanced at it and stopped paying attention.

The old Taoist took Chen Yan to a table. Instead of sitting down, he spread his hands on both sides of the table and shouted loudly:
  "The waiter is serving tea!"

Chen Yan glanced at Liu Laodao strangely, feeling that Laodao's behavior at this time seemed a little different from usual, but he did not rush to ask, but watched quietly.

The waiter didn't respond, but the shopkeeper reminded him:
  "Shui Sheng, we have a guest, and you're still sleeping!"

The waiter was excited, looked at each other with the shopkeeper, came to the old Taoist side, nodded and bowed and asked:

"What kind of tea does the Taoist want?"

"I want Longjing tea."

"Okay, a pot of fine Longjing tea!"

The waiter shouted, turned and left. After a while, he came up with a cup of Longjing tea in a covered bowl, and at the same time took out a pair of chopsticks and placed them in front of Liu Laodao.

Liu Laodao did not drink in a hurry, but placed the chopsticks on the left side of the tea bowl, and placed the tea bowl lid on the left side of the chopsticks.

When he finished this action, Chen Yan carefully noticed that the waiter's eyes moved.

Then the waiter nodded and bowed again and asked:
  "What does the Taoist want to eat?"

"Eat yellow rice."

"Where did the Taoist priest come from?"

"Coming from the capital."

"Where to go?"

"Go to heaven."

"May I ask the elder's name and where is the dojo?"

"The old Taoist's surname is Liu and his name is Fu Jing. His Taoist temple is Tongtou Mountain."

Chen Yan heard this conversation in confusion. He felt something was wrong and couldn't explain it, but he heard the waiter bowing and asking:
  "Master Taoist, do you want to relieve yourself? I will take you to the toilet."

Liu Laodao touched his belly and said, "I drank a lot of tea and was about to put some water in. Could you please help me lead the way?"

Then Liu Laodao couldn't help but pulled Chen Yan and followed the waiter, walked into the inner hall, and then turned to the backyard. When they arrived at the toilet, the waiter did not go in, but took Lao Dao and Chen Yan directly to the kitchen. Chen Yan Under the curious eyes, he clicked on the stove.

"Kakaka-"

Just hearing a subtle sound of gears moving, the stove slowly moved to the left, revealing a stone door.

The waiter pushed open the stone door and walked in. Liu Laodao pulled Chen Yan in and followed him.

As soon as he entered, he saw the waiter kneeling on one knee, saluting Liu Laodao and saying respectfully:
  "Deng Hong, the chief bannerman of Shanxi Town, Supervisor Tiansi Secret Guard, pays homage to your lord!"

Supervisor Tiansi? Secret guard?

Chen Yan was shocked.

Ever since he learned about Jian Tiansi, Chen Yan had also checked specifically to find out, didn't Jian Tiansi only have Feiyuwei under his command?

Since when was there an extra secret guard?
  Liu Laodao nodded slightly and said:
  "Today I've come here to entrust you with something." "My lord, please give me your instructions!"

Liu Laodao waved his sleeves, and all the skinned puppets that had been killed during this period appeared without any defects.

I don’t know what kind of processing Liu Laodao did, but the facial features of these human skins have been restored to a very lifelike state, and the facial features can be clearly seen.

"I want you to check all the traces of these human skins in Shanxi Town during their lifetime, where they have been, what they have done, and where they disappeared from. Pay special attention to places and things related to the fragrance of osmanthus. .”

Deng Hong's expression did not change at all after hearing this, and he replied respectfully:

"As ordered!"

"During this period, I will be in Shanxi Town. If I find anything, I will report it immediately."

"Yes!"

Deng Hong replied solemnly, and then asked:
  "Do you have any other instructions, sir?"

The old Taoist thought for a while, then took out a jade slip from his sleeve robe and sent it over, saying:
  "The Hutou Mountain bandits have been eliminated. This is proof. You should report this to the higher authorities and ask them to send you a [Shiquan Dabu Decoction] as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Chen Yan's expression moved slightly, knowing that Liu Laodao did it for him.

"My subordinate understands!"

"Okay, that's all, hurry up."

"Yes!"

When Chen Yan came out of the restaurant, he still hadn't recovered for a long time.

It wasn't until he returned to the bustling street that he woke up from a dream. He looked at Liu Laodao beside him and didn't ask in a hurry. He didn't hesitate to say until there was no one around:

"That was just now..."

"Didn't you hear everything, the secret guard of Supervisor Tiansi?"

Liu Laodao replied lazily.

"Jian Tiansi actually has secret guards?"

Chen Yan was shocked.

"Otherwise, why do you think Supervisor Tiansi can monitor the world? Just rely on Feiyuwei?"

Liu Laodao rolled his eyes.

Chen Yan was speechless and couldn't help but ask:
  "Can it really be found?"

"Can you find it?"

Liu Laodao glanced sideways at Chen Yan: "Did you know that maybe the secret guards of Shanxi Town have been lurking since the day Shanxi Town was built, and they have been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years. You said you know Shanxi Town well, Or do they know about Shanxi Town?”

"In the future, if you go to a certain place and don't understand the local situation, you can go to the local secret guard office to get information. You have also seen the process with your own eyes, so just follow it."

Chen Yan nodded, finally understanding why Liu Laodao confidently said that he could find out the traces of human skin before death.

Indeed, with the help of the secret guards of Supervisor Tiansi, it is indeed much more efficient than the Shanxi County Government.

"Then what should we do next?"

"What else can we do? Just wait."

Liu Laodao yawned, then suddenly thought of something, and patted Chen Ya's shoulder solemnly:

"Congratulations on becoming a regular employee."

"what?"

Chen Yan was confused.

"From today on, you will officially become an honorable Flying Fish Guard!"

Chen Yan:? ? ?
  "The voucher just now not only records the evidence that the Hutou Bandits were wiped out, but also your application for the voucher."

As he said this, Liu Laodao patted Chen Yan's arm and said seriously:

"I told you, it won't be so easy if you get on an old pirate ship."

Chen Yan rolled his eyes, but he didn't have much emotion.

It's good to do this, so that he will have more opportunities to come into contact with evil spirits and ghosts in the future, and accumulate merit more quickly, why not?
