Jiu Fu’s story is nothing new.
He was originally a commander in Xuzhou, and he was highly appreciated by the town officials above him. He was also considered a prominent figure in Xuzhou.
It's a pity that the great future was ruined by greed.
The Xuzhou town officials at that time, like Zhan Chengfeng today, were stuck at the peak of Japanese travel for a long time, and finally had to ask the court for a Tao map.
After Jiufu learned about it, he also had a twisted idea and focused on this Tao map.
"In terms of talent, I am far inferior to Master Xu. But after practicing to the point of traveling, who doesn't want to join the Tao, who doesn't want to be a senior and powerful in the eyes of the monks, who doesn't want to be called a great monk?"
Mr. Xu was the town official of Xuzhou at that time.
"Even Mr. Xu, who was a genius that day, has been trapped in the peak of the day travel for decades and has made no progress. I am a monk who just broke through to the day travel by luck. If there is no external force, I am afraid I will be trapped in the day travel realm for the rest of my life. "
"Your cultivation level in the sixth realm is not weak. You are lucky enough to be in a high position. Are you still not satisfied?"
"Sir, no one knows how to be content. Those who are content only have self-awareness."
Lin Ji was silent.
"Later, using my identity as Master Xu's confidant, I tampered with the elixir Master Xu cultivated, stole his Dao map, and fled to Qingzhou, hiding my name."
Lin Ji shook his head slightly and asked, "When did this happen?"
"It's been thirty or forty years."
"In thirty or forty years, you haven't reached the peak of day travel. Have you used that map?" Lin Ji's face showed a bit of disdainful ridicule.
Jiu Fu lowered his head bitterly.
He reached into his arms and finally took out a brush.
Lin Ji took the brush. Because he had suffered losses before, he didn't use his soul to explore it. He just scanned it with his consciousness and found that there was some Taoist charm on the brush, so he put it away.
"I have neither seen nor heard of the Mr. Xu you are talking about. With the longevity of a Japanese monk, I think he should still be alive now, but he should have left the Jiantiansi, or retreated to the rear, no longer He has taken on an important position.”
Jiu Fu shook his head.
"Master Xu is dead."
Lin Ji raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you heard the news?"
"The pills I gave him to make his hands and feet are poisonous, the kind that will seal his throat when he sees blood."
Hearing this, Lin Ji's expression changed for the first time.
"Mr. Xu promoted you with one hand, but you are so ruthless? If you steal something, why do you want to kill him?"
"If I don't kill him, he will chase me afterwards, and I may not be able to escape." Jiu Fu didn't dare to raise his head, "I also played a trick and made my own fake corpse next to Master Jiu Fu. In this way, I am considered dead. Even if I was discovered afterwards, I would have already escaped by then."
After hearing these words, Lin Ji laughed out loud.
"Hey, this Li city really doesn't disappoint."
Lin Ji lost interest in listening to Jiu Fu's nonsense.
He stood up, his face gradually turning cold.
"Poison the official of Jiantiansi Town... No wonder you have been unwilling to speak out after I caught you, and you still wanted to die. It turns out you knew you would die."
Jiu Fu knocked his head on the ground and said no more.
"Why didn't you commit suicide when I wasn't here for these three days? If you died, I would have no choice but to stop pursuing you." Lin Ji asked again.
Jiufu said bitterly: "I am worried that your companions will be made trouble by the villains in the city when Master Lin is away, so I hold on... If I had known that the girl was a great demon in the sixth realm, I might have committed suicide long ago. ”
Hearing this, Lin Ji looked at Han Li.
Han Li nodded slightly and said, "That's true. The shopkeeper is indeed protecting us these days."
Lin Ji understood and said, "Why, is it the guilt in his heart over the past few decades that is causing the problem?"
"I don't want to die with regrets."
"You poisoned Mr. Xu, who promoted you, and you will not be able to get away with it whether you live or die. Even if you have a conscience and protect my companions for a few days, your punishment will not change at all."
Lin Ji's tone gradually became calmer.
"Not long ago, the town official Sun Heya in Jingzhou was murdered by a demon and ghost. Do you know the final result?"
"I don't know, little one."
"Jingzhou has carried out a cleansing of monsters and ghosts. There are dozens of fifth and sixth realm monsters who died in Lin's hands alone. Even Lin can't count the specific number."
Reading with rice balls
Hearing this, Jiu Fu was shocked.
Lin Ji was keenly aware that he was afraid.
But Lin Ji continued: "When a town official died, Supervisor Tiansi buried countless great monsters with him. Jiufu, how much do you think your life is worth?"
Jiu Fu heard the implication of Lin Ji's words.
"Please let me die quickly."
"A quick death will be too cheap for you."
After the words fell, Lin Ji suddenly raised his hand and knocked Jiu Fu unconscious with one palm.
Seeing this scene, Han Li behind him asked curiously: "Brother Lin, what are you going to do with him?"
"I will have this kind of criminal sent back to the capital. His fate will probably be to be tortured in Jian Tiansi's prison for decades."
Lin Ji said casually: "Jian Tiansi lacks everything except lunatics who like to torture people. This kind of felon who poisoned a third-grade town official will only want to die for the rest of his life."
Hearing this, Han Li couldn't bear it.
"Brother Lin, why don't we just kill him? He is still protecting us after all..."
"So I think he is stupid." Lin Ji laughed mockingly.
"Why did he have the courage to poison the official of Jiantiansi Town who had favored him for promotion? Why did he regret it... The only thing in the world that he didn't regret was selling medicine, and he actually pinned his hopes on me to be merciful and merciful. "
"If he commits suicide, I will pretend that nothing happened. If he is too timid to run away, I won't bother to chase him! But he wants to find peace of mind with me! He has no hope of a future and his cultivation has been abolished. He wants to die. It’s clean and clear! It’s not that simple!”
Han Li was speechless. He couldn't understand the meaning of this.
Lin Ji had no intention of explaining.
The more you read, the more you will understand.
Soon, Lin Ji used the town official's token to summon a spirit pigeon.
After the news spread, not long after, a strong man walked into the inn.
The man bowed to Lin Ji, but did not speak.
Lin Ji smiled.
"Brother, please send this person back to the capital."
"Don't worry, Master Lin. Unless the official is dead, this person will definitely arrive in Beijing safely."
He said this as if he was protecting someone important.
But this Jiufu is indeed an important figure.
He must deserve it.
Lin Ji breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Jian Tiansi's Anzi take away Jiufu in Qingcheng.
"Han Li, go behind and pack up the carriages and horses."
"Lianyu, go pack your luggage."
"Brother Lin, are you leaving?"
"Yes." Lin Ji nodded, looking outside the inn and then further away.
This is Qingzhou, this is Licheng.
He really didn't want to stay any longer.
