28. Evil spirit
"Hongjun Pavilion taught Chen Zisheng, and brought his disciples to thank his predecessors for saving their lives. ”
An older Confucian led the other four Confucian scholars to kneel down to Lin Ning, Lin Ning helped them up one by one, and when he saw that the townspeople were still kneeling on the ground, he said to them: "It is incumbent on you to raise your hands, you don't have to thank me, let's hurry up and see those children." ”
The sound spread through the field and rang in everyone's ears. Lin Ning had already said what she should have said, and she couldn't stop them if they wanted to kneel, so she looked at the Confucian named Chen Zisheng and said, "Find a place to talk." I wonder what the hell is going on with this pig demon. ”
Lin Ning's heart was a little heavy, although the children swallowed by the wild boar demon did not die, but when fighting with the wild boar demon, more than a dozen townspeople died, and these Confucian students were also seriously injured, and the loss was not small.
This town is located in the hinterland of the Eastern Regions, although it is close to the mountains and forests, but the appearance of the townspeople is not used to seeing this monster. This pig demon appeared very strangely, and after its death, Lin Ning's divine sense keenly sensed that a sinister aura escaped from the pig demon's body. It gave her a taste of conspiracy.
The Confucian scholars led Lin Ning to the Hongjun Pavilion, and Lin Ning changed the bloodstained clothes on his body in the inner room, led a wisp of Dan fire, and burned the changed clothes clean. I cleaned my whole body with water purification, and then took out a light blue dress from the storage bag and changed it into. I put my hair in a bun casually, and then went to the front hall to meet the five Confucian scholars in a refreshing body.
Hongjun Pavilion is the most basic organization of immortal cultivators set up in various towns and cities by the imperial court of the Eastern Regions, responsible for cultivating immortals under the rule of one city and one town, subduing demons and eliminating demons, and protecting the territory and the people. They all belong to the official bodies selected by the imperial examination, and they are real personnel in the system.
It was their duty to subdue the pig demons. But looking at these five Confucian students, except for Chen Zisheng, who achieved foundation building at the age of nearly 60 years old and is now in the early stage of foundation building, the other Confucian students are just immortal cultivators in the Qi cultivation period.
Dealing with this pig demon was far beyond their ability, and if it weren't for the chains, they wouldn't have been able to stop the pig demon from hurting people.
Seeing Lin Ning come out, the five of them stood up from their chairs one after another, their faces pale and ashamed. Chen Zisheng was ashamed and said: "If it weren't for the seniors who sacrificed their lives to save us this time, not only would we be unable to escape death, but the entire town would also be destroyed." Senior Gao De, we will definitely report to the imperial court and give a reward as a reward......"
Without waiting for Chen Zisheng to finish speaking, Lin Ning raised his hand and threw a token into Chen Zisheng's arms, and said, "There is no need for a reward, Lone is the imperial court." ”
When Chen Zisheng heard this, he looked down at the token in his hand, and there was a big word "Lin" written on the front, even if he lived in a remote place, he was also an official of the imperial court after all, and naturally knew that this "Lin" was the royal surname. This token is so beautiful that no one can counterfeit it, and no one dares to counterfeit it.
So this little girl who sat at the top unceremoniously, calling herself "lonely", is the only one in the royal family who meets her age......
"Weichen didn't know that the eldest princess was coming, and he was not very frightened. Chen Zisheng held the token above his head with both hands, bent down deeply, and didn't dare to get up for a long time.
Seeing this, the Confucian scholars behind Chen Zisheng were also shocked, and they all bowed to the end to see Lin Ning.
Lin Ning didn't kneel down anymore when he saw that they were shocked, and he felt a little more satisfied in his heart. The people of the Eastern Regions kneel to heaven and earth, and kneel to their parents. Even for the king, except for the enthronement ceremony, the biggest salute at other times is to bow to the end.
Just now in front of the townspeople, they knelt down to save their lives. Now facing the eldest princess, they can't kneel. This is the proud bone naturally formed under the influence of the 10,000-year-old culture of the Eastern Regions.
"That's it, excuse me. ”
After receiving their salutes, Lin Ning waved his hand and asked them all to get up. Only then did he ask Chen Zisheng: "When did this pig demon appear in the town? You can't deal with it, why don't you report it?"
A trace of pain and guilt flashed on Chen Zisheng's face when he heard this, and he said: "This pig demon only appeared around the town two days ago, and at that time it was not so big in size, and its heart was not so brutal, it looked like a little demon who strayed into the town. Heaven has the virtue of a good life, it didn't cause any harm, and my disciples just drove it away. ”
"I didn't expect it to suddenly appear again today, and it became extremely large, and it sneaked in the second half of the night, smashed through the house, swallowed the child and ran. We didn't notice it for a while, and by the time we caught it, it had already done a lot of damage. What's next...... The eldest princess knows everything. ”
Lin Ning's fingertips tapped on the table and asked, "What kind of cultivation did it do before it mutated?"
Chen Zisheng looked at a Confucian student behind him, and the handsome young man hurriedly replied: "It's a little demon at the first level of Qi training." If it weren't, we wouldn't have let it go. ”
A layer of Qi training?!
Lin Ning was taken aback, within two days, let a wild boar demon break through from the first layer of Qi cultivation to the middle stage of foundation building, what is it that has such a powerful ability?
She couldn't help but think of that fast wisp of evil that she could barely catch herself......
As soon as Lin Ning was silent, the whole room was shrouded in oppressive silence, and no one dared to interject at this time to interrupt her thinking.
After a while, she said, "Lone knows." You did a good job, although you didn't kill the pig demon, but you also did your best, take these pills back to heal your wounds. ”
She put a bottle of Rejuvenation Pill of better quality on the table and said it to everyone.
"As for this matter, I will immediately report it to the imperial brother and the master, and let the imperial court and the Shangqing Gate make some preparations, if this wild boar is not an exception, we will be in big trouble. ”
Lin Ning secretly had a guess in his heart. She thought of the conspiracy in the Western Regions in the main plot.
This evil spirit...... Raising evil with them...... Will it matter?
If this is the case, you have to remind Master to be more careful.
She immediately summoned Lin Lang and Taihao Xianjun respectively, and especially reminded Taihao Xianjun to pay attention to the actions of the Western Regions.
Taihao Xianjun was a little surprised, the Buddhism of the Western Regions has always been merciful, and it is the nemesis of all evil ghosts, how can they have anything to do with this pig demon?
Lin Ning also reminded himself that the implication of his words was that the Western Regions might be unfavorable to him.
Although the little apprentice has extraordinary insights on many things, in this matter, Taihao Immortal Jun thinks that Lin Ning is a little too grassy.
He said that he would pay attention to the Western Regions, but Lin Ning could see that Taihao Immortal Jun didn't take it to heart at all. There was nothing to be done with a sigh.
Buddhism says that every drink and peck has cause and effect, although these bald donkeys are very hateful, but the truth is good.
The master has a very good personal relationship with the great monk Zhiwu of the Western Regions, and the image of the Western Regions in front of the world has always been quite good. It is based on the cultivation of Taihao Xianjun, and in the original work, he still follows the Tao of the Western Regions.
Although it is still early, I don't know how much butterfly effect my arrival has caused, and it is unknown how much I have departed from the original trajectory, so I still have to be careful.
