Chapter 17: The Devil's Trail (1)

On the third day after the beggar immortal Xu Jian left the cave, the three monks who colluded with the monsters finally made a move, and these ill-intentioned guys pretended to follow the state pastor Lord Li to inspect, but they took the opportunity to lure Lord Li to the lake behind the back garden of the state capital in the name of subduing demons.

It turned out that after the arrival of the governor of the state, Lord Li found that there was a lake behind the state capital that was almost dry, and there was a large area of uncultivated wasteland, so for the livelihood of the people, Lord Li ordered the garrison directly under the state government to dredge the Bibo Lake and the surrounding water system, and use a dead towering ancient tree on the lake beach as timber to repair some old offices that had fallen into disrepair.

As the governor of the state, Lord Li was very sympathetic to the hardships of the people's life, and ordered the army defending the side to reclaim a large amount of fertile land on the opposite bank after dredging the Bibo Lake, and rent it to the landless or landless peasants at the rate of 10% of the harvest every year, and not to pay any taxes related to the land for the first three years.

Due to the large number of farmers cultivating the land and the increase in the number of people, as the water area of Bibo Lake gradually expanded, many people began to engage in fishery production, and at this time, the people began to rumor that there were monsters in the lake, often haunting and devouring fishermen, and finally attracted the attention of the garrison near the state capital.

As the state pastor ordered to hire immortal masters to come and catch demons, the three immortal masters from the Song Kingdom claimed to be able to catch demons. Lord Li, who cares about the people, did not expect that these three immortal masters were secretly colluding with the monsters in the Bibo Lake, and today these three immortal masters led Lord Li to the lake with their subordinates, preparing to assassinate Lord Li through the catfish spirit lurking in the lake.

The catfish spirit secretly followed Lord Li and the immortal master at the bottom of the lake, because the state capital has treasures that deter demons, the catfish spirit did not dare to start too close to the state capital, in order to be able to solve the state pastor Lord Li, this guy secretly passed on the voice to the three immortal masters:

"You will find a way to keep Master Li away from the back garden of the state capital, and I will order my subordinates to pretend to be water monsters so that you can get it!"

"Brother Yu, don't worry, since we have gained your benefits, we will do our best!"

The catfish essence thought that the trick was about to succeed, but he didn't expect that a five-colored lotus that had been trapped under the silt of Bibo Lake for a long time finally came to life again, and the five-colored lotus turned into a slender woman with a blue jewel in her hand, secretly following the catfish essence, and at this time, the three immortal masters accompanied Master Li to a lotus near the edge of Bibo Lake.

At this time, a big catfish with a length of five or six feet jumped out of the water, opened its mouth and sprayed a stream of water arrows towards Lord Li, and the three immortal masters saw this, and each cast a spell; one immortal master pinched the trick and recited a spell to release a barrier in front of Lord Li to block the water arrow, and the other immortal master released a large net to catch the catfish that jumped out of the water, and finally the immortal master came to the catfish that was dragged ashore by the big net, and drew a talisman to fix the catfish.

"Lord Li, please see, although this catfish is a bit of a Taoist, it is not the opponent of our senior brothers, and we must have similar water monsters in front!"

Master Li walked to the vicinity of the big catfish, and saw that the head of the motionless big catfish had blurred facial features like a human, so he secretly wondered, and at this time, an immortal master in a white robe led by him walked in front of him:

"Lord Li, our senior brother's plan to use Lord Li to lure the water monster seems to be quite successful, I wonder if your adult is still willing to continue to risk his life?"

When Lord Li, who loves the people like a son, heard the words of the immortal master, he immediately said: "As the state pastor, it is the duty of the official to protect the people and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, let's continue to patrol along the lake, and the three immortal masters are still hiding in the dark waiting to start!"

Lord Li continued to walk in front with his entourage, and the three immortal masters led the door to the door more than ten zhang behind, and within an hour, there were two waves of water monsters that were caught by the three immortal masters in the same way, and at this time, Lord Li was getting farther and farther away from the state capital, and he was out of the scope of the treasure protection that deterred demons in the state capital.

The beggar immortal Xu Jian followed the three immortal masters and Lord Li all the way invisibly, secretly admiring Lord Li's high style and bright festival, and working tirelessly for the people to settle down and work.

Suddenly, the beggar immortal Xu Jian looked up at the sky, and a dark cloud floated in, and a dragon monarch wearing a purple royal robe was walking through the clouds and rain. As the sky gradually darkened, a cool breeze gusted from the lake, and a torrential downpour followed.

"My lord, it's raining too much, you better go back to the house quickly, your body is important, and the adults will come to inspect after the weather is clear!"

Steward He, who was in Lord Li's entourage, put on a robe to cover the rain, and he felt that the rain was a little strange, so he persuaded Lord Li to hurry back to his house. Master Li glanced back at Steward He, nodded, but said:

"Thank you Steward He, this official will definitely lure out all the water monsters in the lake today, in the past six months, nearly 100 families have been mutilated by water monsters, this official is really derelict in his duties!"

After Lord Li finished speaking, he continued to brave the rain, walking in front of the team with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Steward He looked at Lord Li's back, sighed in his heart, couldn't help but leave a few tears, and then followed Lord Li forward again.

At the bottom of the lake, the overgrown catfish spirit finally approached the lake with the help of the cover of lotus leaves, only to see this guy rising from the water, opening his hideous mouth full of fangs and preparing to swallow Lord Li into his stomach.

Lord Li, Steward He and his entourage were knocked to the ground by the waves set off by the catfish essence, and seeing that Lord Li was about to be killed, a woman suddenly jumped out of the water and reached out to hit the head of the catfish essence, and at the same time, the invisible beggar fairy Xu Jian shot out a soul cone to just penetrate the woman's body.

The woman screamed and fell to the shore, and the catfish spirit felt the appearance of the human monk who almost killed it a few days ago, and was so frightened that he hurried back to the lake, but found a jewel shining by the lake, so he took the sheep and stole the orb and slipped away.

The beggar immortal Xu Jian noticed that he missed and missed the monster, but he hit a woman with aura and demonic energy, and under curiosity, he hurriedly flew to the woman's side.

The woman barely raised her head, but she frightened Master Li and his entourage, who had already stood up, and his face turned colorless, although the woman's figure looked graceful, but her face was colorful, red and green, yellow and blue, especially the two eyes, one red and one purple.

"Shangxian, help me!"

After the woman finished speaking, her figure slowly disappeared, and the beggar immortal Xu Jian didn't care about greeting Lord Li and the others, but just released a vajra cover to protect Lord Li and his party in it. Then he recited the trick to avoid water, broke through the lake, and flew all the way to the bottom of the lake.

At the bottom of the lake more than 100 meters deep, in a blue-black pool with an area of more than 100 zhang shining with spiritual light, a blooming five-colored lotus flower suddenly lost its original brilliance, became dim, and soon withered a little, and the soul-fixing cone shot by the beggar immortal Xu Jian pierced the main stem of the lotus.

"It turns out that the woman is a lotus spirit, no wonder she has aura and demonic energy!"

The beggar immortal Xu Jian knew that the lotus essence was injured by himself in order to save Master Li, so he hurriedly took back the soul cone, and when he cast the five-qi dynasty yuan, which was mainly based on wood-based spells, he saw a stream of five-colored spiritual light source continuously pouring into the five-colored lotus, and soon the spiritual light on the surface of the five-colored lotus was restored, and the woman with a big flower face reappeared in front of the beggar immortal Xu Jian.

"Shangxian, big things are not good......"

The Lotus Spirit will tell the beggar Immortal Xu Jian what bad things will happen, and what Yunxiao will do in the next episode, so please pay attention to the next chapter!
