Chapter 177: Fake Fighting Priest Lin Jue brought a few small Yuandan pills and some spiritual liquids that he had refined himself in the mountains, all of which were full of spiritual energy. At this time, turn it into water and give each person a small bowl. Although it has no effect on curing diseases, this kind of elixir is obviously more valuable than medicine. Giving it to patients who are suffering from strange diseases and gradually becoming weaker can make them feel better and last longer. At first he just gave each of the inn's waiters and guests a small bowl of soup. Unfortunately, the city's traditional Chinese medicine clinic was in urgent need of medical treatment at that time, and the people could not get medical treatment and were in great pain. The news spread quickly. No matter how rational you are in normal times, no matter how you weigh the gains and losses when things haven't happened, no matter how you feel it's not worth it and you've suffered a loss when you can't see it, but when things happen, when those patients come to you for help, those eyes are looking at you, those cries and begging are heard in your ears, Lin Jue can't ignore it. If you have one bowl, you have two bowls. Where there is one person, there are a hundred. Soon the inn could no longer accommodate the guests. Then a long queue formed. Lin Jue treated everyone equally and gave each of them a bowl.

But each person is only given one bowl. "Thank you, Masato." "A living god..." Every citizen, no matter how good or evil they had been or what their character was, expressed their gratitude sincerely at this moment. After all, he was a cultivator, and had learned the method of refining and collecting elixirs. As he kept giving away gifts, he felt like there was something more on his body, mysterious and ethereal, yet vaguely felt some weight. The weight is in the heart, not in the body. As he was giving gifts, he saw the military officers and soldiers of the City God Temple standing at the entrance of the lobby. Lin Jue didn't know why they came, but he had important things to do at the moment, so he ignored them. He only knew that they stood at the door at first, then unknowingly walked into the lobby, and seemed to be behind him. They didn't say anything either, just watched. "Master, I am poor and I am afraid I will not be able to repay you in the future. I can only kowtow to you here first." "Hey! Absolutely not!" "So does the villain!" "Everyone, please do more good deeds in the future. When you meet someone who needs help, lend a hand. The world is wonderful. Maybe one day, the help will come back to me." Several military officers and soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment. They were originally ordered by the City God to invite the Taoist back to investigate whether he was related to the plague in the city, but now they could only stand by with a dazed look on their faces. I didn't even dare to move. First, the priest cannot show up and arrest people in front of so many people, especially when the other party may not cooperate. Second, they are reluctant to interrupt this process. If the Taoist priest was invited back a moment earlier, dozens of lives might be saved. If he was invited back a moment later, it would be a great merit. Another point is that they themselves knew clearly that even if the City God did not intend to put the blame of the plague on him, asking the Taoist to go and inquire was probably not a good thing.

Mostly they tried to ask him to keep his mouth shut or something like that. But although the priests were officials, they were different from mortal officials. At this time, they could only see the Taoist priest using the elixir to turn it into water and giving it to people. Many people lined up to get the water. The mysterious charm and rich aroma of the elixir and the people's obviously improved complexions after drinking the potion could not deceive people. Moreover, now is not the ancient times. Such panaceas are rare in the world. Many dignitaries are willing to spend huge sums of money to buy them. Even some gods and monsters are hard to find. If you don't really want to save people, who would be willing to use such panaceas to turn into water to save people's lives? As gods of the City God Temple, what they can see through this incident is the Taoist's character and merits. If you cannot see it on the Taoist, you can see it on the faces of the common people. If you cannot see it on the faces of the common people, you can hear it with your ears. "Thank you, Masato." "Thank you, God..." Merit comes from here. The priests were stunned. After all, they are gods, whether real or fake. They were once loved and respected by the people, so they became gods. This scene is actually somewhat familiar to them. Familiar and emotional. So the soldiers had to look at the two military officers more frequently, and the two military officers also kept looking at each other and communicating. Do you really want to take him back? Can we really take him back? Do you really dare to take him back? This was a difficult problem for the military officers, and they could only remain silent. "Master, I am seriously ill and almost dying. Please give me one more bowl." "No." Lin Jue said helplessly, "I have little skills. This potion can neither cure your illness nor save the people in the whole city. I can only give each person one bowl and keep them alive. But don't worry, I have a senior brother who is good at medicine and is on the way. Let's hold on for two more days." "Ugh……" The man used his stick as a crutch and had no choice but to leave. Another person came up. A soldier nearby couldn't help but remind him, "Master, this person came to get a bowl an hour ago!" Beside him, three colleagues and two military attachés turned to look at him. The soldier was stunned and quickly shut up. Until the night deepened. There were fewer and fewer people queuing, and by midnight, there was no one left. Lin Jue then stood up, packed his bag, turned to look at the military officers beside him, and said, "What do you want to see me for? Has the plague ghost been caught?" "Yes, Master Hui, that's not the case." "What's that?"

"..." The two military officers looked at each other. For some reason, they couldn't say anything even though it was clearly the order from the City God. "Ok?" Lin Jue couldn't help but be curious. "Master, it's the City God who thinks that Master has brought a monster into the city. After Master entered the city, a plague happened to break out. The City God thinks that this matter is a little strange, so according to the procedure, he wants us to take Master and the fox back to question them." Finally, a military officer spoke up, but he couldn't help but raise his hand in salute, addressing him respectfully as Immortal. Nowadays, if someone has a clear conscience, he does not need to be afraid of gods. If he still has virtue, most gods will have to show respect to him. That's the case now. But when Lin Jue heard this, he frowned. "Suspect me?" Lin Jue suddenly had some thoughts in his mind. The two military officers didn't dare to speak and just stood by and waited. "I know. Your city god didn't find the plague ghost. He is afraid that I will report his dereliction of duty or spread the news, making him more guilty. He wants to ask me to come over and shut me up, right?" Lin Jue sneered, "It's not like I haven't seen this kind of thing before." The two military officers did not dare to answer, and could only say awkwardly: "Master, we are just military officers in the city, following orders..." "What if I don't go?" Lin Jue turned around and looked at them calmly. The two military officers were in a more difficult situation: "Master, please don't make things difficult for us..." "If I have nothing else to do, I would dare to go and see what that mediocre god can do to bribe me, threaten me, or push all these things onto me, so that I can deal with him. But right now the plague is serious in the city, and many people are suffering. I have to get up early tomorrow morning to continue to administer potions to the people in the city. I don't have time to play these tricks with an immoral and incompetent god." Lin Jue said coldly: "But I'm not afraid of him. Go back and tell him. If this matter is over and he is still the City God, I will naturally bring my Fuyao to have a good talk with him." "This……" The two military officers looked at each other. Lin Jue knew it as soon as he saw it. These two military officers are quite thoughtful. "Don't be so embarrassed. I practice Yin-Yang magic and have exorcised many demons and caught many ghosts. You can't take me away just because you want to." Lin Jue said disdainfully. Unconsciously, he had pinched a few beans in both hands. "Use whatever skills you have and compete with each other. It will be easier for you to report back when you go back." "..." The two military officers looked at each other, then turned to look at the soldiers around them. One of them put his hand on the sword at his waist, and the other drew out two golden hammers from his waist. They all looked at him in awe: "Don't blame us, real man."

"It is my duty to do so, and I am offended." As soon as he finished speaking, the military officer with a sword strode towards Lin Jue and stretched out his hand to press Lin Jue's shoulder. However, just as he approached the Taoist, he flicked his sleeves. The military officer was caught off guard and felt a gust of wind coming towards him. Although the force of this gust of wind was quite strong, if it had hit an ordinary person, he would probably have been pushed back only a step. However, this divine body did not have much weight, and the military officer was not prepared at all, so he was knocked flying all of a sudden, hit the wall heavily, and bounced back silently. "Huh?" Seeing this, another military officer's eyes fixed, and he immediately walked towards Lin Jue with a hammer in his hand. Just after taking two steps, he saw the Taoist wave his hand again. The military officer did not dodge, but instead tensed his whole body and stood still, trying to withstand the strong wind to see how powerful it was. However, instead of seeing the strong wind, he saw a few tiny beans flying in the air. The beans quickly grew in size. "what?" The military officer quickly dodged to the side. Two beans flew the fastest, and in the blink of an eye they turned into two graceful daggers, spinning around, cutting through the air and slashing towards him. Fortunately, he dodged in time, and the two daggers flew past his chest, one in front and one behind. Two creaking sounds! It must have been cut into the wall! The military officer had no time to care about it, and did not dare to look back even once, because in front of him, two more beans turned into two soldiers in front and behind. One fell from the sky and slashed at him with a sword. The military officer dodged to the side again and just as he avoided the long sword in the soldier's hand, he saw a second soldier holding a shield rushing towards him. The two hammers smashed down heavily, hitting the shield with a thud. However, the soldier was very strong and was running, so he knocked him away. The military officer had no time to think about what kind of magic this was. He just relied on his instinct of screaming and fighting in his life, and a thought flashed through his mind - "If he falls to the ground like this, I'm afraid that before he can even stand up, he will be hit by another soldier's sword, right?" Fortunately, he had already died once. Now he has become a little god. The military officer's expression became serious, he closed his eyes and cast a spell, then his figure flashed and he was already on the beam of the inn. Looking down, he saw that, as expected, the soldier with the sword had already reached the position where he was supposed to land. He swung the sword in his hand downwards, and with a ding, it hit the floor. The soldier was obviously surprised and looked around. The military officer turned his head and saw that his colleague had already drawn his sword. Although he was using the back of the sword, he was slashing at the Taoist with the force of splitting Mount Hua. And at some point a long sword appeared in the Taoist's hand, and he was raising the sword to block it. When the two soldiers couldn't find him, they changed their target to the four soldiers and chased them on the ground.

The military officer had a clear mind. Although they might not be able to do anything to the two soldiers, the two soldiers could not do anything to them either. It was just that they had a different kind of awe for the soldiers, or for the Taoist priest, so they dealt with the soldiers in this way. However, it didn't take long before the half-closed door suddenly opened with a bang, and a white fox jumped in from outside. When the white fox saw the situation in the room, he didn't hesitate or think at all, he just opened his mouth and vomited. "puff……" What came out of his mouth was a cloud of yellow smoke. Two of the four soldiers were shrouded in yellow smoke and their heads suddenly became dizzy. But the warriors did not wait for them. The sword was in front of him the next moment. In a hurry, the soldiers' figures suddenly became blurred. "brush!" The sword struck the air. However, they didn't expect that just after dodging the swords of the soldiers, they saw a fox flying towards them in the wind. Their intuition told them that this fox could really bite them. Now it's a life-threatening run. In a short while, four figures appeared on the beam. The only one left below was the military officer wielding a sword. However, the beam is not safe either. The fox glanced at the Taoist who was fighting with the knife-wielding military officer, and didn't seem to be worried. He looked up at them again, and actually ran up the wall. With every step he took, his body grew a little bigger. When it reached the beam, it was already the size of a leopard. First, a breath of cold air hit me in the face. The four soldiers felt themselves shivering all over, a coldness that penetrated deep into their souls, and their bodies became a little stiff. "Hide!" Each of the four soldiers was better at hiding than the other. It didn't take long before they all hid behind the military officer. They watched the military officer with the hammer fighting the giant fox while watching the battle situation below. The soldiers were surprised to find that this Taoist knew so many magic spells, and they used them all the same without repeating. Many of them I have never seen before. Only a short spell was heard. The sword in the hand of the military officer holding a knife suddenly turned into a poisonous snake.

Just as the military officer was panicking, the Taoist swung his sword and stabbed at him with a snap. The military officer could naturally dodge this sword, but he never imagined that this seemingly swift and deadly sword was just a cover for another spell. "call!" He dodged the sword, but couldn't dodge the Taoist's breath. This breath was not a raging fire, nor was it black smoke, nor was it any yin or yang or divine wind or strong energy. It seemed to be just an ordinary breath, but it contained endless mysteries. It hit the military officer's neck and immediately spread along his neck and shoulders. "hiss!" The military officer seemed to realize something was wrong and immediately jumped back with a look of horror. There was severe pain in my body. Several people on the beam watched with fear in their eyes. However, more than ten buds appeared silently on the neck, shoulders and chest of the military officer. When the bud first came out, it was only the size of half a grain of rice, and then it grew outward rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it had grown from half a grain of rice to the size of a grain of rice, and then continued to grow outward from it, growing a dozen small branches ranging in length from one inch to several inches. There are flower buds on top. When the military officer looked down, the moment of the flower buds blooming was reflected in his eyes. There are seventeen or eighteen flowers in total. The flower blooming on the neck that was sprayed closest to it was a rhododendron, which was extremely gorgeous. A little further away were peach and pear blossoms, in pink and white. Even further away were the wild flowers that could be seen everywhere in the mountains, in blue, white, yellow and all kinds of colors. When gathered together, they actually looked quite beautiful. But when it grows out of a human body, it looks a bit weird. When it grows out of one's own body, it is extremely scary. "what!!" The military officer immediately cried out in pain. Wave your hands and pat the flowers away. Suddenly, there were a dozen more holes on his body. Fortunately, there is no blood in their bodies, so there will be no bleeding. There is no vitality in their bodies, so the damage is limited. The military officer felt that it was almost time, so he gripped his sword tightly and stepped back. He looked up and exchanged glances with his colleagues on the beam: "Your magic power is so great that we are ashamed of ourselves. I will take my leave. Please be careful!" "Ah……" Lin Jue put away his sword and looked at them. "I won't change my words. Remember to tell the City God that since he dares to target me, I will go find him after this matter is over." The officer holding the knife retreated and disappeared into the wall, while the officer holding the hammer dodged the fox's bite, leaped up, and went directly out of the roof. Seeing this, the four soldiers bowed in awe to Lin Jue and disappeared. The fox just arrived and was puzzled by this. He immediately jumped down from the beam and wanted to chase after it, but was called back by Lin Jue. "Hey?"

"Don't embarrass them." Lin Jue shook his head and retracted his bean soldiers. Now he has reached the point where he can summon back the bean soldiers without chanting any spells, just like his third senior brother. I was just thinking about those two military officers and soldiers... "Ah……" When Lin Jue was still in Shu Village, he had heard many stories about people with a clear conscience and high moral character who were not afraid of gods and ghosts. He had also witnessed with his own eyes the uprightness of the old teacher in the academy. The demons and ghosts also spoke of him with great respect, but he never thought that he would experience similar feelings. Lin Jue reached out and touched the fox's head. (End of this chapter)
