Chapter 10: Huaimu Linglang
"Shameless! Come out if you dare!!"
The green-faced ghost was furious, and the birthmark on his face looked a little funny.
Whoosh! !
The zombie pounced towards him, and the Green-Faced Ghost ducked his head and dodged sideways, then chopped off the zombie's arm with a backhanded blow. The hard skin made his palm hurt.
This guy Xu Yang was really willing to give up and avoid leaving. He would rather abandon two precious zombies and die with them.
The flames grew more intense, the air twisted, and the eaves began to collapse.
Even if the zombies were missing limbs and were covered in flames, they would still rush over.
Every time the Green-faced Ghost tried to break out, he was stopped by the zombies. As time passed, the zombies were still in their infancy and their combat effectiveness was not very high. Under the siege of the two ghosts and the Green-faced Ghost, they gradually fell into a disadvantage, and the Green-faced Ghost was about to break free.
boom!
The dark green candlelight shot Huaimulang to death from a distance.
“So it’s here!!”
The green-faced ghost was filled with murderous intent and locked onto a certain direction of the eaves.
As if God was helping, the zombie stopped moving, perhaps the fire had destroyed its body.
The green-faced ghost threw away his knife, leaped up three feet, and smashed through the roof!
boom! !
The bone chain at the wrist broke and turned into a thin pale bone sword.
The bone sword clanged, shining like iron.
People who practice Taoist military techniques are often physically weak, and the young man standing against the wall is about to die.
The man seemed to be frightened and didn't move.
puff! !
Just as he was about to succeed, a black shadow suddenly flashed and blocked Xu Yang.
The bone sword pierced through his chest, and the zombie's ten fingers stabbed straight into the green-faced ghost's chest. Severe pain struck his heart, and he almost fainted.
"Green-faced ghost, this is what you deserve." Xu Yang sneered.
He was living well in the charity cemetery when suddenly this guy showed up.
The blood in the green-faced ghost's body was quickly absorbed by the zombies, and his body quickly shriveled up. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but only made a "ho ho" sound.
He watched helplessly as Xu Yang took away his Qiankun bag and the Qinglong White Bone Sword.
Eventually, the body fell into the flames.
Jingle Bell……
The bell rang, and Mr. Ren and Xu Yang jumped down from the attic.
boom!
The next moment, the wooden building collapsed into ruins, with smoke and dust flying everywhere.
All 81 members of the Ren family died.
Half an hour later, in the study of the Ren family mansion, Xu Yang was flipping through the Ren family's account books.
Eight hundred taels of silver ingots, twenty taels of gold, some silk, two warehouses of grain, ten cows, ten sheep, and some chickens, dogs and pigs.
This is the family's floating wealth, about two thousand acres of land.
In front of the table was a middle-aged man in linen clothes. His legs were trembling. The corpses on the road frightened him, not to mention that there was a Master Ren beside this soldier.
"Your last name is also Ren?" Xu Yang closed the account book and looked at the middle-aged man.
"My name is Ren San. My great-grandfather is the cousin of Ren's great-grandfather. The relationship is too distant. I am not a member of the Ren family." Ren San knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Okay, from now on you will be the head of the Ren family and in charge of 300 acres of land!" Xu Yang believed it. After all, he was the person that even Master Ren would not recruit.
"Ah? Thank you, Taoist priest! Thank you, Taoist priest!!" Ren San reacted and kowtowed to express his gratitude. As for revenge... only a madman or a fool would seek revenge for a group of rich strangers.
I inherited part of the Ren family's inheritance, and I hope they will die.
The next day.
In the early morning, the sun shines on the scattered roofs of the countryside, and people who have rested for a day start to work.
Early in the morning, a piece of news spread throughout the area.
"What? All the Ren family members died?"
"The demon outside is using evil magic, and Master Ren is resurrecting from the dead. The entire Ren family is in trouble!!"
"Fortunately, Taoist Master Xu Yang was so wise and brave that he killed the monster and subdued the zombies!"
"Fortunately, we have Taoist Master Xu Yang!!"
"Master Gojo, Master Xu wants you and the other Muramasa to come over!!"
The Ren family was a powerful local family, but they were wiped out overnight. Many people couldn't believe it.
The village chiefs and village elders from the fifteen villages in the two townships and the villagers who came to watch the fun came to Ren's house. Seeing the rows of corpses covered with white cloth in front of the Ren's gate, their hearts almost jumped out. They had never seen so many corpses in their lives.
Next to the corpse was a carriage without a roof, with a black coffin on it. A Taoist priest in a yellow robe was leaning lazily against the coffin and taking a nap.
The corpses were displayed, the coffins were terrifying, but the Taoist priests in the charity cemetery were calm.
The two township officials looked at each other, and a trace of fear flashed in their eyes.
Apart from the ignorant villagers, many sober people vaguely realized that this matter was not that simple.
Especially Taoist Master Xu Yang, who was a coward a few days ago and the Ren family was arrogant and domineering; now the situation has turned around.
This is a ferocious tiger, a tiger that is ready to kill as soon as it opens its eyes.
When Xu Yang opened his eyes, Xiang Zheng's heart tightened and he ran over with a smile.
"Master Xu Yang, I am here."
"You're just in time." Xu Yang coughed several times, and his true energy amplified his voice, "Silence!!"
The noisy square became quiet.
Xu Yang stood up and told him what happened last night. Anyway, it was monsters and zombies causing chaos, and they were currently trying to resolve the problem.
"The Ren family has done many unjust things in the past, but now that the people are gone, there is no need for you to add insult to injury. This is Ren San, who will be responsible for taking care of the Ren family ancestral hall in the future."
"The debts between the Ren family and you are all written off. The original tenants' land and five hundred taels of silver will be distributed to the tenants. The back hill will be opened! As for the pigs and sheep, they can be slaughtered and eaten! The township head will preside over the meeting. Each township head will receive ten taels of silver, and the fifteen village heads will each receive five taels of silver."
In order to quickly stabilize people's hearts, we can only share some of the benefits.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone cheered loudly.
"The Taoist priest is so mighty! Long live the Taoist priest!"
"The Taoist priest is mighty!!"
Everyone was ecstatic, especially the tenants, who treated Xu Yang as their second parent.
The elders in Xiangzheng Village also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the person was dead, so the incident of the Ren family could be regarded as an accident.
What they feared most was that Taoist Xu Yang would change his temper drastically and confiscate their property and exterminate their entire clan, just like he did to the Ren family.
Xu Yang stood in the car, calmly enjoying the cheers from the crowd.
At this point, fifteen villages in the two townships, with a total of 17,000 people, were officially brought under the control of Yizhuang, just as it was when Changming was alive.
As for the matter of the Ren family... he had already figured out the rules of the Fire Elephant Kingdom. The Fire Elephant Kingdom was orderly on the surface. If he slaughtered the Ren family openly today, he could even act arrogantly and use human blood and corpses to refine corpses openly.
I'm afraid my superiors will have to come and collect this "merit" of mine.
The way of handling things like today is actually the norm in this world. After all, it’s just some mortals who died.
In the carriage, Xu Yang let out a long breath.
All the problems left over from the time of crossing have been cleared up.
Thinking of this, Xu Yang no longer concealed it and said to the village chief: "Tell the Hu family and the Lin family to send a hundred taels each. I don't mind that you didn't come to the master's funeral that day."
"I understand." The village chief said respectfully.
Xu Yang drove the carriage away and returned with the fully loaded coffin.
"Respectfully send the Taoist back to the temple."
"Respectfully send the Taoist back to the temple!!"
The crowd shouted behind them.
Xu Yang remained indifferent.
The place is too small and the harvest is just enough to maintain normal operations.
He just took back the rural power left by Changming, and he was not even a local emperor.
After today, there will be basically no problem with my basic situation.
When you first enter the world of cultivation, you only have the power to protect yourself.
Next are other temples and even Taoist temples in the county.
The bizarre and strange Taoist magic, the ferocious and vicious Yinshan demons, the Fire King of the main vein of the 800-li Yinshan Mountain, the Heche Palace, and even the entire Dongzhou countries... naturalization, certification, more powerful magic, more powerful Taoist traditions, climbing up step by step.
There are nine temples in Quhuang County, and the charity cemetery has jurisdiction over two townships with a population of more than 10,000. All of this seems so insignificant.
We should set our sights on higher horizons!
At night, Yizhuang.
Xu Yang poured out the Green-faced Ghost's belongings, and a book caught his attention. It read: The Secret Huaimu Linglang Method.
