Chapter 115 Demon Street

Outside Yunlan Town, Jiang Chen, Jiang Wu and others saw Lin Yuru off.

Seeing her on horseback gradually disappear from sight, Jun Zhu sighed: "Her Senior Brother Xu is still unwilling to accept her. ”

Jiang Chen said: "But at least Xu Daoyou understands her hard work, and also promised her that she will not commit suicide for at least these seven years." Xu Daoyou plans to guard Fluttershy's grave for another seven years, indicating that he is an infatuated person, and this kind of person has a hard time accepting a person, but once he does, he will not change. ”

Jun Zhu suddenly said faintly: "Xu Daoyou is really a rare infatuated man in the world. If I were dead, would you keep my grave for seven years?"

"Of course not!" Jiang Chen smiled: "The world is so exciting, there are many good girls, I will go to find other girls the next day!"

"You!" Jun Zhu was furious and glared at Jiang Chen fiercely.

"So, you must take care of yourself, don't die before me!" Jiang Chen said seriously.

Jun Zhu heard the affection in Jiang Chen's words, and immediately his anger dissipated, his cheeks turned crimson, and he turned away with shyness.

Jiang Chen whispered to Jiang Wu proudly: "The answer just now is also a routine, Jiang Wu, have you learned?"

......

Two days later, Lu craftsmen sent the imitation "Phoenix Dance Nine Days" golden hairpin, and Jiang Chen gave it to Junzhu. After Junzhu accepted the gift, although he complained and said, "Don't buy such a valuable thing in the future", he smiled all day long, obviously very happy.

On this day, two acquaintances of Jiang Chen came to the Chenwu Gym, it was Li Xiucai and his wife.

Mrs. Li's belly is already very large, and she will give birth within a month. Li Xiucai told Jiang Chen that he submitted an application some time ago to transfer from Sanhe County to the Yamen of Yunlan Town, and now that it has been approved, he will serve as the master of the Yamen of Yunlan Town.

Not only was his job transferred, Li Xiucai even sold his house in Sanhe County, bought a small yard on Fuqing Street behind Suiyuan Lane, and set up a new home. The reason why Li Xiucai did this was because he was worried that after the child was born, he would be recognized by others as having demon blood. And Jiang Chen is the Taoist master of Yunlan Town, and he is in charge here, so everything is much more assured.

Jiang Chen was very happy to learn about this. Later, in his spare time, he had another person to talk to.

On the second day of Li Xiucai's tenure as the master of Yunlan Town, the yamen suddenly received an urgent summons, saying that the Taoist priests under the command of the national teacher were ordered to arrest key criminals, and the yamen barracks along the way cooperated and must not be obstructed.

Lou Zhixian did not know why this document and asked Li Xiucai for advice. Li Xiucai once heard Jiang Chen say that behind the imperial court is actually controlled by the Taoist court. And the national teachers of the imperial court in the past dynasties, with respected status, are all people in the Taoist court.

"This document seems to be related to the Dao Court, so I'd better go and ask Daoist Jiang for advice. Li Xiucai said.

"This county has this intention!" Lou Zhixian nodded again and again: "This county knows that you and Jiang Dao Master are old friends, it is more appropriate for you to speak, if it is a matter of the Dao Court, it is naturally up to him Jiang Dao Master to call the shots, and we mortal yamen don't need to ask." ”

Lou Zhixian meant that more things were better than less, Li Xiucai naturally understood, he smiled slightly, and went to see Jiang Chen with the paperwork.

Jiang Chen looked at this document and immediately understood what was going on. He said: "This is the Taoist court wants to catch demons, and I am afraid that your yamen will not be able to make trouble from it, so I issued a document to let you see the people under the command of the national teacher acting, and do not interfere." I'm afraid that not only Yunlan Town, but also other nearby counties and yazhou capitals should have received similar documents. ”

"That's true!" Li Xiucai nodded again and again: "From this point of view, our yamen just needs to ignore this matter." Lou Zhixian must have breathed a sigh of relief when he found out. I heard from a colleague in the yamen that this Louzhi County would like to have nothing to do all day, and as soon as he heard that there was any case or government affairs to deal with, he immediately shouted a headache. ”

Jiang Chen secretly said in his heart: "The current imperial court is still presided over by the Shuntian Sect, and the national teacher should be the Taoist master of the Shuntian Sect." The Taoist priest under the command of the national teacher is the Taoist of the Shuntian Sect. It seems that the Shuntian Sect will be catching demons in the vicinity recently, and if there is a chance, I will go to see it!"

Jiang Chen told Li Xiucai that let his wife stay closed for the past few days, in case he met the Taoist cultivator of the Shuntian Sect who caught the demon and was identified by them, he would get into some trouble.

A few days later, a young Taoist priest suddenly came to see Jiang Chen. This Taoist priest was a Taoist cultivator of the Shuntian Sect, and he held the sect token of the Shuntian Sect and a letter and presented it to Jiang Chen.

The letter said that the disciples of the Shuntian Sect caught the demons and came all the way to the depths of Nanshan, which is located on the outskirts of Yunlan Town and belongs to the jurisdiction of Yunlan Town, so it is Jiang Chen's "territory". Shuntian Sect is catching demons here, and it should inform Jiang Chen, the Taoist master here. After all, the Dao Master Order that Jiang Chen and the others got at the beginning was recognized and issued by the Dao Court.

Jiang Chen pretended to put up a shelf and said: "It's good to say, Shuntian Sect slashes demons and destroys demons, and it is also for the heavens, and the master of this Dao is a cultivator, and he must also do his best, and this Dao master will go to Nanshan!"

The young Taoist priest said: "Daoist Jiang doesn't have to go in person, I'll wait to lay a net of heaven and earth, those demons can't escape!"

Jiang Chen insisted on joining in the fun, and the young Taoist priest had no choice. Half an hour later, Jiang Chen, Jiang Wu and others followed this Shuntian Sect Taoist priest and rode a fast horse to Nanshan.

When they arrived at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, Jiang Chen and the others found that there were indeed many Taoist heroes gathered here, most of them were monks of the Shuntian Sect, and some of them were Jianghu Taoist heroes recruited nearby. Jiang Chen, as a Taoist master, has a very high status in the eyes of these Jianghu Dao heroes, so as soon as he appeared, he was warmly greeted by everyone.

The Dao Heroes have surrounded the vicinity of Nanshan, making it impossible for the demons hiding here to escape. There are also many Shuntian sect corrections, searching for demons everywhere in the depths of Nanshan.

After Jiang Chen was polite with these Taoist heroes, he took a few of them and also went deep into the South Mountain.

He originally planned to catch a few demons to show off his might, but the demons seemed to have been caught by the Dao cultivators of the Shuntian Sect, and they didn't see any demons along the way, but traces of fighting were found from time to time.

Suddenly, the crowd heard a terrible cry, and they followed the sound and soon came to a canyon in Nanshan. This deep canyon is surrounded by more than 100 Taoist cultivators of the Shuntian Sect, and there are even masters of Taoist cultivation among them.

Surrounded by the canyon were hundreds of people in all kinds of costumes, some were weak scholars, some were sturdy villagers, some were rich businessmen, some were poor families, some were old and young, some were men and women, and on the surface they were all ordinary people. Each of them was bound by a series of glittering ropes, unable to move.

"What kind of person? Hugh has to get closer!" a Taoist cultivator who was guarding outside the canyon shouted after seeing Jiang Chen and the others.

"This is Jiang Daoyou, he is the Dao Master of Yunlan Town. The young Taoist priest hurriedly introduced.

"It turns out that Your Excellency is the commander of the 100,000 Dao Army, Daoist Jiang, please!" a middle-aged Taoist priest said loudly, standing on a Dao sword inserted in the cliff above the canyon, nodding and smiling at Jiang Chen.

"This is Senior Uncle Fang of this sect. The young Taoist priest whispered.

"Thank you Senior Fang!" Jiang Chen bowed his hand from afar and walked into the canyon.

Jiang Chen glanced at the people who were surrounded in the canyon and asked suspiciously, "These people are all demons?"

"That's good!" Fang Dao Chang said: "They all have demon blood, but because they were sealed by the Demon Suppression Formation of this sect, they can't change into demons, so they all look like ordinary people on the surface. If Daoist Jiang doesn't believe it, please take a closer look!"

As Fang Dao Chang spoke, he stretched out his fingers, and a flash of spiritual light flashed, and it was actually a piece of rune paper flying out and landing on the body of one of the sturdy farmers.

The spiritual rope on the farmer's body disappeared immediately, and the farmer roared, and his body suddenly changed drastically, and he turned into a brown bear man, very tall.

"Bear Demon!" Jiang Chen's heart moved, this kind of demon was recorded in the "Ten Thousand Demon Spectrum", and it usually looked no different from ordinary people, but it was just thicker hair and more strength, but once the demon blood in the body was stimulated, the bear demon could transform into a bear man with rough skin and thick flesh and infinite strength, not to mention ordinary people, even a dozen or so catchers of the yamen could not capture it.

The bear man was about to pounce on a nearby Dao cultivator, and the Dao Leader stretched out his fingers again, and a series of spiritual light ropes immediately appeared under the bear man's feet, tightly winding the bear man in an instant, and the bear man let out a painful wail, and gradually changed back to human form, and then couldn't move.

"These people are all carrying all kinds of demon blood, and if they are not removed, they will leave hidden dangers. Daoist Fang said, "The Dao Court sent us to get rid of these demons. ”

"The disciples listened to the order, killed these demons on the spot, and then planted demon flags around them, so that the demon blood in their bodies would be sealed in the depths of this canyon forever. The leylines here are full of yang energy, and it only takes twenty or thirty years to completely purify the blood of these demons. ”

The killing order issued by Fang Dao Chang made these people with demon blood in an uproar. Some scolded loudly, some wept bitterly, some held their children tightly in their arms, and some joined hands with their loved ones to weep silently, waiting for death to come.

"Mom, I want Mom!" a four- or five-year-old boy cried the loudest, and the people next to him couldn't persuade him.

"What's going on?" Jiang Chen asked in a low voice to the young Taoist priest beside him. The young Taoist priest replied that the little boy was pregnant with demon blood, but his mother was a mortal, and the Taoist court only caught demons, so he only arrested the little boy, not his mother.

The little boy's crying made everyone a little unbearable, but one Taoist cultivator was unmoved, he snorted coldly, and said, "Let him cry!

The little boy could understand Dao Xiu's words, he suddenly stopped crying, sobbed quietly, and asked that Dao Xiu at the same time: "Uncle, can you bury me a little shallower, I'm afraid that my mother won't find me." ”

Although that Dao Xiu was hard-hearted, he didn't know how to answer this kid at the moment.

Jiang Chen knew that Jiang Wu had always been kind and soft-hearted, and he didn't want to see this bloody slaughter scene, so he sighed and pulled Jiang Wu to turn around and leave.

Jiang Wu refused to leave, he asked Fang Daochang: "Although these people have demon blood, they are usually no different from ordinary people, have they ever done evil? Have they ever used demon methods to harm people? If not, why do you want to kill them all?"

Fang Dao Chang smiled slightly: "Since ancient times, Dao and Demon have not been opposed. They have demon blood, and this is the capital crime set by the Dao Court. The old man is just doing what he is told!"

"This is not Dao Ting!" Jiang Wu said loudly: "This is Yunlan Town, and all matters related to Dao Demons are handled by the Dao Lord of Yunlan Town. And the Dao Lord did not condemn these people to death!"

Fang Daochang's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "If the two Jiang Shaoxia stop it, they will be against the Dao Court! Moreover, there are many people with demon blood in the world, how many can you save?"

Jiang Wu said: "What you can't see, what you don't know, and what you don't know is beyond your ability, even if you don't know it, this thing is happening in front of our eyes, how can we see death and not save it!"

"Daoist Jiang, you have figured it out!" Daoist Fang's words were full of threats: "Although you are a local Dao Master, if you shelter these demons, you will be against the Shuntian Sect and the Dao Court!"

Jiang Chen didn't want to offend the Dao Court and the Shuntian Sect at all, but when he saw Jiang Wu's persistent and eager gaze, he sighed secretly in his heart, then nodded, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you Dao Chang Fang for reminding you! This is Yunlan Town, these demons, please leave them to this Dao Master to deal with!"

"It's up to you!" a Shuntian Sect Taoist scolded loudly: "These demons were caught from the neighborhood by the Dao cultivators of this sect with great effort, you are just a Jianghu Taoist disciple, just let them go?!"

"Stop!" Daoist Fang waved his hand to block the Daoist's words, he smiled slightly, and said: "He is worthy of being the commander of the 100,000 Daoist Army, and he is really very responsible, and he dares to go against the Daoist Court in a word! The old man will sell a favor to Daoist Jiang, and these people will be handed over to Daoist Jiang to deal with! However, if they leave Yunlan Town, they will blame the disciples of this sect for being ruthless. ”

"Thank you, Senior Fang!" Jiang Chen clenched his fists and saluted.

"Daoist Jiang, there will be a period later!" Fang Dao Chang waved his sleeves and left here with the disciples of the Shuntian Sect.

Those rescued people bowed down to Jiang Chen one after another and thanked them for saving their lives. Jiang Chen had a headache, saving people was not something that could be solved with a single rhetoric, not to mention how many hidden dangers and troubles offending the Dao Court would bring in the future, even how to deal with the more than 100 people with demon blood in front of him was really tricky.

"You go to the gym with me first, and then make arrangements for your livelihood in the future. Jiang Chen said. I don't know if it's because I'm worried, or because I've been in this canyon sealed by demons for a long time, he felt a headache, and soon left Nanshan with these people.

After returning to the Chenwu Gym, Jiang Chen and Li Xiucai discussed and rented a few courtyards on Fuqing Street to let these people settle down temporarily. Jiang Chen instructed them to only live in Yunlan Town as mortals, and they must not show their demon form, otherwise they would be driven out of Yunlan Town.

These people stayed in Yunlan Town with a thousand thanks. They didn't dare to leave the town themselves, so they entrusted other residents to hand over their letters to other relatives and friends, and entrusted them to sell their previous property and settle in Yunlan Town in the future.

On the second day, Jiang Chen slept until noon, and the symptoms of the headache were also alleviated. When he saw Jiang Wu standing in front of his room, with a guilty look on his face for doing something wrong, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Brother, don't be angry!" Jiang Wu said: "It's a big trouble now! You can go to the outside of the gym and take a look." ”

Jiang Chen walked from the inner hall to the outer hall of the Chenwu Daoist Hall, only to see that the courtyard was already full of people dragging their families and mouths. After these people saw Jiang Chen, they knelt down and saluted, begging "Jiang Daoist to take him in".

"Why did so many people come overnight?" Jiang Chen was startled.

Jiang Wu said: "These are all people with demon blood. Recently, not only the Shuntian Sect, but also several major forces in the Dao Court have been stepping up their search for these people with demon blood, and after they are caught, they will all be killed. These people were afraid of falling into the hands of the Dao Court, and they heard that the Dao Lord of Yunlan Town had rescued some of their companions from the Dao Court, so they rushed to join them overnight. ”

Jiang Chen was suddenly very distressed, the Chenwu Daoist Hall had nothing to do for half a month, and now it was really difficult to deal with such a major incident all of a sudden.

"What should I do?" Jiang Chen was distressed. Junzhu came back from outside with a smile on her face, and she said happily: "The problem is solved, I have bought all the houses and vacant land on both sides of Fuqing Street, and let these people live there." ”

Jiang Chen was overjoyed: "Miss Junzhu really made a generous move! Thank you Miss Junzhu for these people!"

Jun Zhu glanced at him and said, "No thanks, anyway, it's not with your own money, of course it's a generous spending." ”

"It's not your money?" Jiang Chen was stunned: "Then who gave you so much money? Li Xiucai is also from an average family, could it be that Lou Zhixian used the official silver of the Yamen? Lou Zhixian is so stingy, how could he agree?"

"Brother......" Jiang Wu lowered his head and whispered, "I took out all the military salaries you got in the Daozi Army and handed them over to Sister Junzhu." ”

"Is it my money!?" Jiang Chen was shocked, he felt a pain in his heart, and collapsed on the seat, looking sluggish, speechless for a long time.

When those people heard this, they couldn't help but be grateful and thankful, which was in stark contrast to Jiang Chen's mood at this time.

"Brother, let's change careers!" Jiang Chen muttered: "Don't be a Taoist, the coffin has been lost!"

"This ......" Jiang Wu showed a look of embarrassment.

"Phew!" Jun Zhu reprimanded: "When you used to open a Taoist gym, you also had no money, and now you just go back to the past, why can't you accept it?

"Yes," Jiang Wu hurriedly echoed: "Sister Junzhu also took out all the money she had saved, except for the golden hairpin you gave her, she sold all the other valuable jewelry." ”

......

Although Jiang Chen was very heartbroken, he still took these people with demon blood in him and let them settle down in Yunlan Town. Dao Ting really gave enough face to "Jiang Dao Master", and no longer stepped into Yunlan Town. After receiving the news, the people with demon blood in the vicinity moved to Yunlan Town one after another, and most of them lived on Fuqing Street. This street has become a veritable "demon street".

Yunlan Town, an originally unknown town in the south of the Yangtze River, has gradually spread many strange legends because of the existence of this "demon street". (To be continued.) )
