"There are three criminals. It's not convenient for you to escort them alone. Why don't you hand over these two moles to us?"
After stepping off the spirit boat, the guard leader who had just argued with Zhao Lin made a U-turn and offered to help escort the black-faced monk and Huang Teng.
"Okay, that's a lot of hard work."
Zhao Lin knew that they wanted to share some of the credit, so he did not refuse. It would be easier to do things with locals and save a lot of trouble.
This is indeed the case. Several guards took Zhao Lin into Qiuyang County, and the journey was smooth and went directly to the patrol hall on the main peak.
"I am Zhao Mufeng, the master of the Qiuyang County Patrol Hall. What is your surname, fellow Taoist?"
Qiuyang County is not big, with only two peaks, and the grade of the spiritual vein is only second-level low-grade, which is two levels lower than Hanchi County.
Therefore, there are only two Foundation Establishment Realm monks in the county, and the leader of the Patrol Hall in front of him is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
"Master, please give me your surname Zhao."
Zhao Lin saw that the other party had a kind attitude and was not scornful because of his low cultivation level, so he replied politely.
"It turns out to be my family."
Hall Master Zhao had a smile on his face and looked at Song Laosan, "Did you catch the bandit cultivator?"
"Exactly."
Zhao Lin took out Li Daoyou's head, four used messenger charms, and the recorded confession from the lock bag and presented them.
Hall Master Zhao took the confession and glanced at it, slightly surprised. The evidence prepared by Zhao Lin was sufficient and there was basically no possibility of overturning it.
Also, how could this confession be written on the messenger talisman?
As soon as he thought about it, he realized that Zhao Lin had probably sent the same confession to Uehara County. This was a move to leave a way out for himself, and it also contained an implicit threat.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Zhao Lingao.
"Sir, I helped catch Hei Pi and Huang Teng. I have made major meritorious deeds!"
Song Laosan suddenly struggled and shouted loudly.
Are the bandit cultivators helping to arrest people?
Hall Master Zhao was stunned, having the same doubts as others. Zhao Lin's cultivation was only at the third level of Qi Refining. Even for a martial artist, it was a bit incredible to be able to do this.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao, can you tell me how you caught them?"
"good!"
Zhao Lin recounted the whole process again, and then looked at the several escorts on board the ship, "These guys helped escort the people over."
"Easy to do."
The defense leader looked happy and said humbly.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao has a method!"
Hall Master Zhao extended his thumb and praised, "Please rest in the county first. I will bring someone to interrogate you immediately. I will inform you as soon as there is any news."
Zhao Lin did not want to passively wait for the results, and said: "Hall Master Zhao is too polite. I am also one of the witnesses. Can I listen to the trial? If there is anything unclear, I can also help to supplement it."
Hall Master Zhao thought it was right, so he called the relevant people and interrogated him directly in the hall.
In the world of immortality, there is no reason to avoid suspicion, and there are more interrogation methods than in the mortal world, and there are even special spells used to torture and extort confessions.
In less than a cup of tea, the black-faced monk and Huang Teng confessed to colluding with the bandit cultivators and explained everything in one go.
Song Laosan naturally had nothing to say, but repeatedly emphasized that he helped arrest people and had made major contributions.
The murderer subdued the law and uncovered the inner ghost. Hall Master Zhao was also very happy. He took Zhao Lin's hand and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhao. The reward of 500 spiritual stones can be given to you now."
Then he paused and said: "But the good deeds need to be reported to the state capital, and since you caught two moles, the good deeds need to be rechecked and it will take some time."
Zhao Lin knew that the process was like this, so he nodded and said: "Okay, please trouble Hall Master Zhao."
"No trouble, five hundred spiritual stones. Do you want spiritual stones or spiritual coins?"
"One hundred spiritual stones, and help exchange the rest for spiritual coins."
Zhao Lin originally brought some spiritual stones with him, but he used sixteen spiritual stones to practice the trapping technique. He simply practiced it to the proficiency level, and the remaining spiritual stones were enough to replenish his spiritual power in the small world.
Not long after, the patrolman brought over spiritual stones and spiritual coins.
Zhouyi only has one spiritual boat trip to and from Yinfeng Valley every day. The time has passed, and Zhao Lin can only rest in the county's Guanyi.
In the dead of night, Zhao Lin took stock of the harvest of the past two days and found that before the mission even started, all of his early investment had been repaid, and he had also made a fortune.
In addition to the bounty rewards, spiritual stones, spiritual rice, elixirs, and talismans were also obtained from the bandit cultivators.
The two moles didn't have much in their locked bags, so Zhao Lin also collected the spiritual stones and elixirs, leaving only some spiritual coins for show.
After counting, Zhao Lin took out forty-eight spiritual stones, absorbed the spiritual energy in them, and practiced the Sky Trapping Technique from scratch to mastery.
This spell is really easy to use. If you encounter a powerful opponent, you can escape with just this spell, giving you an extra way to save your life.
The only drawback is that the spells come from talismans and can only be mastered at best.
If you want to further improve, you can only look for monks who have mastered this magic to great or even perfection, and find ways to capture relevant practice experiences and experiences with spiritual cultivation maps.
Looking inside at the spiritual chart, Zhao Lin's eyes flashed with satisfaction.
The earth-moving rock armor technique, the ice-moving ice knife technique, the fire-moving flaming arrow technique, the wind-moving air trap technique, and the non-attributed qi-gazing technique.
All five spells have been cultivated to the proficiency level, and cover the four attributes of attack, defense, escape and detection.
The Ice Blade Technique and Flame Arrow came from Miao Kefa, and they had perfect level abilities. As long as their cultivation reached the middle stage of Qi Refining and they collected enough spiritual stones.
I used to think that a thousand spiritual stones were out of reach, but now it seems that it is enough to exchange the reward of two hundred good deeds into spiritual stones.
As expected, the saying goes: A horse will not be fat without night grass, and a man will not be rich without windfall.
Among the trophies, there are also several high-grade talismans obtained from the bandit cultivators: the Escape Talisman, the Wind Wind Talisman, and the Water Control Talisman.
Zhao Lin has already practiced the art of trapping in the air. Zhao Lin is not interested in the art of hiding. He can just keep it as a backup. There is no need to practice it. After all, the spiritual map only has nine grids.
Riding the Wind is a flying spell, but it consumes a huge amount of mana. Zhao Lin's cultivation level cannot control this spell at all.
If he really wanted to fly, he also had this ability, but he would just fly slower.
Zhao Lin was a little tempted by only the waterbending technique.
This spell can not only control water aura, allowing monks to swim smoothly in the water, but also has certain defense capabilities against water attack spells.
I don't have any water magic that I'm good at yet, and Xuanyuan Continent has many rivers and lakes, so I might be able to use it in the future. But there's no rush, as long as you have the talisman in hand, you can practice it at any time.
The next day, Zhao Lin left Qiuyang County and came to Zhouyi again.
Although I made a fortune, since I am here, there is no reason not to do the task, at least to experience the small world.
Zhao Lin walked up to the spirit boat and said to the monk responsible for the reception: "How much does the spirit boat to Yinfeng Valley cost?"
"Twenty spirit coins."
The monk cautiously replied that Zhao Lin's capture of the bandit cultivator had spread throughout the market, so he should naturally be more polite when facing such a person.
"good."
Zhao Lin handed over the spirit coins and stepped onto the spirit boat.
"Senior Brother Zhao, what a coincidence!"
As soon as Zhao Lin got on the boat, he heard a familiar voice and turned his head to look over.
