Chapter 36: Temple Instruments to Suppress Evil Spirits The night wind is cold on Niujiao Mountain. Most of the people present were martial artists, and they were very strong. But at this moment, they still felt the chill penetrate their bones, which made them tremble with fear. The ground was filled with the smell of blood and the body parts were separated from the head. "Fifth Master..." Among the night watchmen, someone couldn't help but speak in a hoarse voice. The atmosphere seemed increasingly stagnant. "..." Meng Lu clenched the knife in his hand, looked at the other party's black robe with gold threads, and said in a low voice: "The new flag bearer of Linjiang Division?"
His gaze fell on the old man who was kneeling on the ground with a look of fear on his face, and his expression became more solemn. "Is this Luo Zhubu from the Outer South Yamen?" "..." Everyone just felt that the night chill was getting more and more creepy. As Meng Lu's gaze fell on the head rolling to the side, his expression became even uglier. "Outer South Yamen, under the command of the city lieutenant, the instructor of the new army?" In an instant, a chill rose in Meng Lu's heart. This coach is in charge of training the new recruits of the Wainan Yamen. It is said that he is one of the three top masters under the command of Lord Chengwei in the Wainan Yamen. But on this night, in the remote and deserted Niujiao Mountain, someone casually chopped off his head with a knife? And the murderer was considered this morning to be a major suspect in the murder of the captain of the commander-in-chief's personal guard! Meng Lu's knife-holding posture became more solemn. The city defense soldiers behind him cooperated with him very well. When they saw his actions, they immediately slowly dispersed and surrounded the hill. The night watchmen looked at each other, not knowing how to react for a moment. At this moment, I saw someone panting and catching up from behind. Lin Yan took a look and found that the man's clothes had the mark of the temple, and there were several temple followers behind him. "There's so much evil here!" Liu Jing came forward and spoke while panting, then when he saw the scene in front of him, his face turned pale for a moment. Then he looked at Meng Lu and asked, "What's going on?" "I arrived first and saw this flag bearer chopping off the head of the instructor of the new recruits of the Outer South Yamen." Meng Lu looked at the old man kneeling on the ground in front of him and said, "His knife is on the neck of this Master Chief..." As he said this, his expression became more serious and his movements became much more cautious.
It was vaguely forming a siege with the surrounding city defense soldiers. "Fifth Master, what's going on?" At this moment, one of the night watchmen spoke up and asked hurriedly, "What's the misunderstanding here?" Lin Yan glanced at him and vaguely remembered that this boy often went to brothels to spend money. Before he could open his mouth, he heard the leader of the night watchmen speak quickly. "Everyone, please wait. The Fifth Master must have a reason for killing people. He has always hated evil and would never kill innocent people easily." The leader of the Night Watchmen quickly stepped forward and advised, "Master Wu, please don't be impulsive. If you chop him again, there will be no evidence and you won't be able to explain yourself later!" As he said this, he glanced at the kneeling old man and couldn't help feeling a little pleased. This old man has always relied on his position as the chief clerk to embezzle money, abuse his power and withhold salaries. The instructor who had his head chopped off never treated the recruits as human beings, and three to five of them died during training every year. The Night Patrolmen were under the jurisdiction of the Outer South Yamen. When they first entered the Yamen, they were all tortured by the new recruit instructor and were well aware of his cruel nature. Before that, Wu Ye had assisted the night watchman for nearly two years, solving cases one after another and even saving several of their lives. Seeing that the city defense soldiers had surrounded Master Wu, he was at a loss as to how to react. "Oh, this is a disciple of the temple, a disciple of the twelve temple priests, and a big shot in the inner city..." The Night Watch leader quickly added, "Master Wu can explain this to Mr. Jing." He couldn't help but walk forward and whispered again: "Fifth Master, I know you hate evil and like to chop people on the spot, but you see, this situation is not suitable for chopping directly." "Now that you have become the flag bearer of Linjiang Division, you are in a high position and have great power. You should put the overall situation first. Otherwise... shall we go through the legal procedures?" "Okay." Lin Yan nodded slightly. "If you're still worried...wait, what did you say?" "it is good!" "what?" The night watch leader was stunned. In his impression, every time Wu Ye arrested someone, the knife in his hand was always eager to use it, as if he was addicted to killing. He was afraid that the Fifth Master would become murderous and chop him down with the knife, and nothing would be clear after that! But I didn’t expect that Master Wu would be so easy to talk to? "As a subordinate of the Heavenly Supervisor, I usually enforce the law impartially, and I am not a murderer." Lin Yan put away his knife and said calmly, "This old fellow practices the 'Evil Worship Method' to exorcise evil spirits and harm people. I haven't interrogated him yet and you guys came first... Well, I'll just take him back for interrogation now." As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked the old man over and kicked towards Meng Lu and others. "First, take out the incense ashes to protect yourselves. This old fellow has practiced evil magic and can pray to evil spirits to drive away evil spirits. Be careful of his wine pot." Seeing this, Meng Lu hurried forward, holding the ash paper bag in one hand and taking out the chain with the other.
"Bastard!" The old man escaped from Lin Yan's sword, and was overjoyed, but suddenly he shouted: "This evil man has killed the master, and now he wants to tarnish my innocence. Why don't we take him down!" After these words were spoken, Meng Lu couldn't help but hesitate. Bang! But the old man suddenly raised his hand. Suddenly, an evil wind blew towards Meng Lu. In an instant, everyone was shocked. But then I saw a flash of a knife! The evil wind suddenly dissipated! As the knife flashed, the old man's arm also fell to the ground, and blood splattered. In an instant, Lin Yan took a step forward, rescued Meng Lu first, and kicked over the old man who was about to take the opportunity to escape. "Now……" Lin Yan looked at the shocked people in front of him, and said in a cold tone, "Who has the problem between me and this old ghost? Do you know who has the problem?" Everyone looked at each other, then nodded silently. Meng Lu seemed to be ashamed of his previous recklessness. He first bowed to Lin Yan, then tore off the incense ash and sprinkled it on his body. Seeing this, everyone took out paper bags of incense ash and prepared to sprinkle them on their bodies to ward off evil spirits. "It doesn't matter!" But at this moment, Mr. Jing came forward, took out a spiritual flag, and said: "This is a magic weapon enshrined in the temple. It can restrain evil spirits and eliminate evil spirits. I will lead the flag to suppress it, and he can't cause any trouble!" He raised the flag and suddenly there was wind. The wind caused by the divine flag seemed like the breath of Liu Zun himself. In Gaoliu City, it is enough to suppress powerful demons! Mr. Jing immediately held the divine banner and pressed down on the old man who practiced evil techniques. The old man's eyes were dazed for a moment. But the next moment, he suddenly woke up and screamed in horror. "No! Take that banner away!" Bang! Before he could finish his words, the wine jug exploded! The old man had been blown into a sieve by the fragments of the wine jug, with his chest and abdomen full of holes. (End of this chapter)
