Outside the capital, a group of merchants came from Huizhou.

There was an old man in the team, and the rest were evenly divided between middle-aged people and teenagers.

Despite his young age, the young man has already reached the age of being the head of a family. It is the first time he has gone out to do business with his fathers. He has been exposed to wind and sun all the way, and there is a lot of wind and frost on his young cheeks.

The succession of old and new is here.

But the young man is a young man after all, and his temper is still lively. It is his first time to travel, and he is still curious about this vast world. Especially when he goes to the capital, he has to look twice at everything on the roadside, and he is also curious about the ghosts and ghosts along the way.

Most interested.

There was a middle-aged man with the best temperament who was pestered by them and told them all the way about the strange things he had heard on the roadside and even the strange things he had personally encountered.

Sometimes other middle-aged people hear it and speak a paragraph.

Nothing more than fox monsters, ghosts, and gods.

The young men gathered around and listened with great interest.

I met someone selling pine nuts on the road. The usually frugal merchants, thinking that their descendants would be here, bought a rare handful and chatted while eating. The usually boring merchant trip seemed to be a lot more lively.

It's getting dark.

"The sun is going to set, so I can't tell you any more. The fairies and ghosts all come out at this time, otherwise if they hear me, they will come out and cause trouble." The middle-aged man stopped telling stories about gods, fairies, and ghosts.

"ah?"

"Ah what? I've been talking all afternoon and my mouth is dry. Let's walk faster. The capital is ahead of us. I think I can walk to the capital in front of Guancheng Gate today. Let me tell you, I heard

It's His Majesty's birthday these days, and the capital is very lively, I don't know if I can make it in time."

When many young men heard this, they became excited again.

At this time, they walked into a forest. Although it was an official road, there was no one in front or behind, and on both sides of the forest were raised graves.

The grass has long grown.

There was a young man carrying a suitcase on his back, and suddenly he felt something was wrong.

It was as if someone touched her behind.

But there were only a few changes of clothes in the luggage behind him, as well as the bag of pine nuts he bought on the road earlier, and the letter he brought for others. The young man took a few steps, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he reached into his back and reached for it.

touch.

"Um?"

The pine nuts I just bought disappeared.

The young man suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

people around him asked him.

"I, I just felt someone touched my back. I felt something was wrong, and my back was a little lighter. When I touched it, all the pine nuts were gone." The young man was a little scared.

The other young men had also just heard the stories about monsters and ghosts. When they heard this, they all felt frightened and worried that he was talking nonsense and deliberately scaring people. But when they went over and saw, the pine nuts were gone.

"Is it leaking?" A middle-aged man came over and said.

"There's no leakage on the back! And the pine nuts are wrapped in leaves, how could they leak?" the young man said in fear.

When everyone looked back, they saw the sky was dim and the woods behind them were gloomy, as if someone was moving.

"What!?"

The old man in the team shouted sharply.

There was no movement from that side.

A middle-aged man walked over quickly, bent down and rummaged around in his back to check, and found that there was no shortage of clothes, and the letter was also placed intact inside, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"In this world of ghosts, there are more and more fairies and ghosts, and this is even close to the capital."

The old man shook his head and sighed.

After all, he is experienced and courageous. When most of the young men were too scared to speak, he thought for a moment and said to the forest behind him:

"I see that you stole pine nuts. You probably like to eat pine nuts, or you are greedy, or there is no one to offer them to you. I don't care how we provoked you and how you came to provoke us. These pine nuts are not worth much.

Just take the money and don't bother us again."

After the old man finished speaking, he felt a little worried, fearing that this thing would get entangled with his child, so he added another sentence:

"You have to know, this is the capital! We came from Huizhou, and this time we were entrusted by Master Lin from the capital to bring a letter back for him. We also brought a letter from a relative's home for him. If we meet Master Lin in

Just mention it when the time comes and it will make it easier for you."

It seems that the things in the forest are not afraid of these, or they don't know who Master Lin is, but there is still no movement.

"Get out of here quickly!"

The old man quickened his pace and walked forward.

Behind me, the mule bell kept ringing.

But I never thought that when I walked out of the woods, I found a pile of pine nuts placed in the middle of the road, cushioned with dry leaves, neatly piled up in the shape of an awl.

That thing stole the pine nuts and then returned them.

All the young men in the team opened their eyes wide.

I had only heard from my uncle before that there was a Master Fan in the capital. He had great supernatural powers and powerful magic. Most of the goblins and ghosts in the capital were afraid of him. When encountering goblins and goblins, if you mention the name of Master Fan, they would retreat on their own. I also heard from my uncle.

He said that he and others brought some letters for many people, including Zhenren Lin, but they did not know that Zhenren Lin's name also had such an effect.

Not to mention them, the middle-aged and old people in the team were equally surprised.

"Amitabha, thanks to the Taoist priest who killed General Lang and seriously injured General Baodeng in Jinping County, we were able to repel the Leopard King and force him back to his lair." Master Yunchan saluted Lin Jue, "The poor monk and Nangong

I have long wanted to visit my fellow Taoist, but the two times I came here before, my fellow Taoist was retreating in the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion of Juxian Mansion, so I didn’t dare to disturb him, and I don’t know when he left the retreat.”

"I have long admired my name." Master Nan Tian clasped his fists at Lin Jue, "Master Lin is indeed very powerful in magic."

"I have admired you for a long time."

The day after Lin Jue just returned from the palace, Master Yunchan and Master Nantian came to visit.

After getting rid of the Qingmiao God in Langfeng County before, Master Yunchan came with a Taoist protector. Finally, he even found the Taoist temple of the second senior brother, and the two became acquainted.

Master Yun Chan had already guessed that the Qingmiao God was eliminated by them and had nothing to do with the Qing Emperor. Therefore, he always respected Lin Jue and the others. Lin Jue also respected him. Obviously, he was not sure that other people in Juxian Mansion also respected him.

Even though they were not willing to come, he was still willing to come with his protectors and prepare to save the people of Langfeng County from this disaster. The two sides respected each other.

This time he also brought Nan Tianshi with him.

The legendary Nan Tianshi was a rugged-looking man with a very elegant name, Nan Songlin.

The first time Lin Jue heard about him was when he heard that he set up an altar in Huizhou to invite the gods to get rid of the corpse tiger king. However, he knew that this was not the case, so at first he only regarded him as a charlatan. Later, he heard that

He said that he had been in the northwest, dealing with the Leopard King, and after hearing about his unique method of summoning gods, he knew that maybe the time with the Huizhou Corpse Tiger King was just a coincidence.

In any case, if you dare to deal with the Leopard King, it is worthy of high praise.

Several people were sitting across from each other under the tree in the courtyard.

Lin Jue wanted to visit the Leopard King, but it happened to be a casual chat, so he asked casually: "How many years have it been since you two went to the northwest to deal with the Leopard King?"

"Nangong has to go early, and the poor monk will go later."

Master Yun Chan answered him:

"In the past, the Leopard King has been dormant and practicing. Most of these monsters are like this, changing at any time. A few years ago, it gradually became more and more unruly. At the beginning, some Taoist priests from Yushan were in the northwest to defend the local people against leopards.

The king’s invasion and captivity

After hearing about this incident, some experts from Juxian Mansion came to support them. Later, Nangong came to Beijing from Huizhou. When he heard about this incident, he immediately went to the northwest. The poor monk came back from Langfeng County.

It was only after that winter that I headed to the northwest."

"Taoist Priest Yushan—

Lin Jue murmured to himself, no wonder these Yushan Taoist priests are rarely seen in the capital.

It must have been several years since Master Nantian came to Beijing after King Corpse Tiger was wiped out, and it has been two years since Master Yunchan returned from Langfeng County.

"Although the Taoist priests of Yushan were in the northwest to resist the Leopard King before, they had no skills and their mortal power was also very limited. They could only defend some people against the invasion of the leopard king's demon generals and little demons, even if there were some strange people in Juxian Mansion.

It’s still hard to resist the help of experts. Fortunately, there are several local

The Gongguan Temple is dedicated to the True Lord and some divine generals and martial gods. Although the gods in the Gongguan Temple are unwilling to go to the Leopard King's lair to destroy them, if monsters come close, they will still use their divine power to resist them.

, relying on these palaces and temples, we can barely confront those monsters."

Master Yun Chan shook his head, finding it difficult just to say:

"It wasn't until Nangong went there that some Martial Gods responded to his request and helped eliminate the demon at the critical moment. Together with the Heavenly Fire God General under the Demon King Yili, we would have been on a par with the Leopard King. If it weren't for Daochang Lin

After slaying the demon general in Jinping County, not only is the victory difficult to determine, but even if we win, we don't know how many years it will take."

"Is the Leopard King injured?"

"The Heavenly Fire God himself went down to the realm and wounded it. However, it was very capable and escaped back to its lair. However, its lair has been run by it for many years, and the God General did not dare to go there rashly."
