When Long Aotian Dressed as a White Lotus

Chapter 16

The mayor of Xianlai Town tremblingly held a cup of tea and handed it to Ling Xiao.

Outside the yamen of Xianlai Town, there was the faint screaming and crying of that woman just now.The yamen was quiet, but the crying was especially abrupt.

But Ling Xiao seemed to have never heard of taking the cup of tea, and put it aside casually.

"Bigu." He explained briefly.

The mayor said "oh" twice, and asked the servant next to him to bring the tea down.

"You...your disciple..." He tidied up his words and spoke cautiously.

"My apprentice is fine." Ling Xiao said slowly, still with a calm expression. "Let me ask you, where is the Taoist priest who painted the runes on the door?"

The mayor hesitated for a moment, and said, "This... that Taoist priest, he will come later." Then, he changed the subject and asked again.

"I understand the immortal's love for his apprentice, but just now... it is obvious that the young master stared at your apprentice before he died, and everyone saw it. This..."

He hesitated, saying that he still didn't believe it.

Ling Xiao frowned, feeling bored.

How do I know why my apprentice is so unlucky that everyone can be blamed for his death?

He took over the task and came here to "catch ghosts" for them.There is no fixed number of souls required for the magic circle of the demon cultivator, the only way is that the more souls there are, the stronger the magic circle will be.Even if Ling Xiao stopped Lu Duanchou from coming, it would not affect him from opening the secret realm for his apprentice.

However, when they came to Xianlai Town, the other party first became suspicious of them.

Ling Xiao interrupted him coldly: "I said, my apprentice is fine."

Speaking of this, he sneered, and continued: "Or, some of you come forward to check and see if there is any ghost aura on my disciple?"

The mayor hurriedly bowed and said he didn't dare, and apologized to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao continued in a cold voice: "I came here to quell the disaster for you. If I really want to do something in this small town of yours, why bother to kill three a day and cause trouble for myself?"

No one around thought that this beautiful fairy with melancholy eyes could speak so viciously and directly.

For a while, none of them dared to speak out.

"Inside a stick of incense." Ling Xiao ordered, looking at the mayor's flickering eyes. "Bring me this Taoist priest in your town."

The mayor hurriedly agreed, turned around and pushed the nearest yamen servant: "Hurry up and invite him!"

That level of devotion, as if that person is a Daluo god.On the other hand, Ling Xiao was suspicious of the two of them in every possible way, and it was all because of Qing Xuanzong's face, so he dealt with them respectfully.

Ling Xiao vaguely remembered that in the original plot, the disciples sent by Qing Xuanzong returned empty-handed, only saying that the ghost came and went without a trace, and there was no trace at all.

Ling Xiao felt suspicious, and just sat there silently.

In less than a stick of incense, the Taoist indeed came.

The yamen servant asked step by step, and walked carefully in front of the Taoist priest.The Taoist priest wore a fairy-like Taoist robe, with gossip runes and Yin-Yang patterns tattooed on the robe, a high crown on his head, and a long fluttering beard.

Ling Xiao looked at him sideways, and for a moment felt that this man was deliberately pretending to be a half-immortal Taoist priest wandering among the people, but he didn't look like a real Taoist cultivator.

"I don't know where this fairy family came from?" Ling Xiao didn't even get up, but raised his chin lazily, and asked the Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest with white beard and hair really twitched his beard and smiled: "Cultivators of immortality don't need to ask where they came from, just where they are going."

Ling Xiao frowned, and looked him up and down with an unpredictable expression.

"Even if you don't ask where it came from, you should ask how your spell was drawn." Ling Xiao said.

"Exorcise ghosts and guard the house, and protect the peace of the party." The Taoist smiled.

Ling Xiao was merciless: "Then your charms are stuck everywhere in this place, why are there ghosts and ghosts all day long?"

The Taoist didn't speak, but the mayor spoke first.

"This fairy, you can't say things like that..." the mayor said. "The companies that put the spell on the first day were safe and sound every day, and nothing happened."

"That spell is drawn in a weird way, and it's impossible to avoid evil spirits." Ling Xiao said coldly. "What's more, is there a breath of a ghost here? Did the ghost take the initiative to hurt people? Even the ghost didn't even see the shadow, and started to draw symbols to avoid ghosts?"

"You...you..." The mayor stared at Ling Xiao, speechless.

There was clearly reproach and blame in those eyes, but because of his face and identity, he didn't know what to say.

But the Taoist smiled lightly: "It's okay, the Qing is self-clearing, a certain book is for the sake of the people, no matter what the world says or writes."

The mayor of the town was moved: "... Daoist! The peace of the people in Xianlai town is entrusted to..."

"What is cleared is cleared by itself." Ling Xiao got up, looked at the Taoist priest, and interrupted coldly. "I think I'm a charlatan. Now that I'm taking advantage of people's danger, I'm waiting for a windfall, right?"

He really couldn't stand the Taoist priest's hypocritical appearance.His mouth is benevolent and moral, his posture and expression are all immortal, but this person is clearly here to stir up this muddy water, not only can't do anything, I'm afraid...

Without thinking too much, he raised his hand and drew out his sword, pointing directly at the Taoist priest.

Unexpectedly, the mayor threw himself in front of the Taoist priest as if he was dying, and shouted, "Don't blame the immortal! Although the Taoist priest treats you with care, you are not so..."

"I'm just doing justice for the sky." Ling Xiao said coldly. "Step aside."

With a cold light shining on the edge of his sword, he pointed steadily in that direction.

This person is bluffing and deceiving, taking advantage of this moment to deceive people and make money.And everyone in this town can be deceived by him, even the mayor of the town looks up to him.

The world is stupid, but Ling Xiao has a brain.

Unexpectedly, the mayor only cared about begging him, stood in front of him, and did not move at all.

He looked as if he was going to die heroically for the welfare of the townspeople.

Then the Taoist said leisurely: "Immortal, I don't care about anything else, I don't care if you want to fight or kill. But if your sword is aimed at civilians, then it's the immortal's fault."

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth, and a silvery white spiritual power accumulated on the tip of his sword.

He must not let the person in front of him bewitch people.

At this moment, Qin Jiangli, who had never spoken, stepped forward and raised his hand to press Ling Xiao's sword.

"I don't know the mayor, where do we, master and apprentice, live?" He asked calmly. The voice of the young man who had just changed his voice was deep and magnetic, with a soothing charm.

The mayor stared at him blankly.

"Just... just stay in the official residence." He said.

"Then don't bother me before nightfall today." Qin Jiangli said in a calm voice.

With that said, he pressed Ling Xiao's sword and said, "Master, let's go first."

Ling Xiao frowned and looked at him, his eyes were cold, and Jian Feng remained motionless: "Why, do you dare to be a teacher?"

Qin Jiangli remained calm, and there was still no superfluous expression on his face, but his brows were calm and firm: "Let's go, Master."

Ling Xiao frowned and looked at him.

By coincidence, he put down his sword and stared at Qin Jiangli.

Then, Qin Jiangli bowed his hands to everyone present with a smile, said his farewell first, then raised his hand, asking Ling Xiao to go first.

Ling Xiao looked at him suspiciously, then turned and walked out.

After walking out of the government office, Ling Xiao asked coldly: "Why don't you let me kill that Taoist priest?"

Qin Jiangli followed behind him, with a steady voice: "Master, you can't kill him today. Even if you can kill him, you will be an enemy of the entire Xianlai Town."

Ling Xiao frowned: "Why do you say that?"

Qin Jiangli continued: "Master can see that he is bewitching people, but the townspeople may not be able to see it. They believe in this Taoist priest now, but Master has brought...an apprentice like me."

Hearing his last words, Ling Xiao felt a little uncomfortable.

Qin Jiangli went on to say: "I saw the Taoist priest, and I had some guesses. He appeared here for no reason, and he took the ghost matter to himself with a well-thought-out plan. Now the charms he gave are pasted everywhere in the town, and now it doesn't seem like he is doing it for the sake of Cai...but he is not a good person."

When he spoke, his expression was calm, and he looked deeply at Ling Xiao's side face.

Ling Xiao frowned, his pupils froze.

The charm he gave was pasted all over the town, and Ling Xiao had never seen the style of the spell before.

He walked to the door of a house, raised his hand and pressed on the charm, and tore it out——

It didn't move at all.

This spell is stuck to the whole town... It looks more like someone has used the spell as a carrier to lay a net.

Ling Xiao's expression became serious.

This Taoist priest... probably belonged to Lu Duanchou.

He gritted his teeth and walked forward.

"...I didn't realize it before, but you are smart." Ling Xiao praised him in a low voice.

In contrast, he was too reckless.

Qin Jiangli who was behind him gave a low laugh, and said, "It's just the dark side of human nature. The disciple sees it more, so he can see it more clearly."

Ling Xiao's heart felt sour for no reason.

Qin Jiangli paused for a moment, and asked, "Then... Master, there is something I don't understand."

Ling Xiao said: "Ask."

"Why does the master trust the disciple so much without finding out anything?"

After all, if a ghost wants to cause trouble, it doesn't need to be there.Qing Xuanzong is located a hundred miles away from here, so if you want to do anything, it is enough.

"Why don't I believe you?" Ling Xiao blurted out.

Before he came, he knew what the world was like, and even more what kind of person Qin Jiangli was.

When Qin Jiangli heard his words, a faint light flickered in his pupils.

Then, Ling Xiao snorted coldly, and continued: "As far as your ability to take care of yourself is concerned, others don't know, but I still don't know? If you can really do these things, I'm glad it's too late."

Neither of them took his words to heart.

Qin Jiangli looked at him from behind him, and vaguely felt that a fire had been ignited in the depths of his ashen, cold and damp soul.

The person who lit the fire was Ling Xiao.

The author has something to say: Qin Jiangli: Woman, you are playing with fire.

Ling Xiao:?

Qin Jiangli: You light up my soul.

Ling Xiao: Where are the rustic love stories, get out of here!
