After this day, Mr. Bai's reputation in Yanhua Prefecture was completely famous, not only in Yanhua Prefecture, but even spread to the entire Pingzhou and even the whole world.
The story of "a thousand righteous men defeated an army of thieves" has also appeared in plays and storytelling from various places.
After all, one thousand to twenty thousand is worth bragging no matter how you look at it.
But Mr. Bai, who was at the center of the incident, led everyone to continue to survive in Laoyin Mountain as usual.
This time the thieves' army was defeated, which was a severe blow to the arrogance of the thieves.
Afterwards, the head of the bandit leader Wu Shun was hung on the wall of Yanhua Prefecture for public display.
But the matter was not resolved. Some of the escaped thieves turned into bandits, some disappeared, and most of the rest ran back to Shunhua Mansion.
Over at Shunhua Mansion, the thieves had a new leader after some internal strife.
This man's name is Fan Heitie, and he calls himself the Iron King.
This man was originally a blacksmith. He was suppressed by the imperial decree and could not survive, so he rebelled.
He acted differently from Wu Shun. He did not rush to lead people to attack Yanhua Mansion. Instead, he chose to rectify the internal problems of the rebel army first, planning to wait until something was ready before taking action.
Obviously, such people are much more difficult to deal with than Wu Shun and others.
Ye Ming did not wait for the punishment from Fucheng Huangsi, but instead waited for the reward.
Because this time he teamed up with Qing Yi Zhenren and Yi Yao Lei Ling to defeat the resentful ghost, which was a great achievement.
The other two were not in the City God system, and it was not the City God's turn to reward them, so the rewards fell on Ye Ming.
The rewards are as follows:
First, let go of what happened in Guaizi Town, but don't do it again.
Second, reward ten thousand people with one month’s worth of vows.
The third is a black, dry wood.
Of these three rewards, it goes without saying that the first one is a complete reversal of what happened before.
The second one can be considered a big deal. The monthly pledge of ten thousand people is quite generous.
It seemed that his crying before was still effective.
As for the black piece of dry wood, it was even more unusual.
This is the wood that has been subjected to the thunder and fire of heaven and earth. Under the power of heaven, "fire in the wood" has been born.
It is one of the materials of the external fire of "Samadhi True Fire".
It seems that this time, Fucheng Huangsi has really done something wrong.
Sure enough, a crying child would get milk. Ye Ming decided that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would cry more and see if he could get some good things.
The only pity of this trip is that although the resentful ghost has a high level of cultivation, it has not yet condensed into Yin Dan because it was too short in the world.
Otherwise, you can still gain more.
While he was channeling the power of his wishes into the incense burner in the ancestral hall, he saw that the Zhengshen Seal was glowing again. Apparently there was another news coming.
This time there is another wanted notice.
A bat spirit in Lingbi Mansion, who had been practicing for many years, sucked up the blood essence of a small town overnight, making many eminent monks in Buddhist temples in Lingbi Mansion furious.
The bat spirit was chased all the way and fled to Yanhua Mansion.
Anyone who can provide information will be rewarded.
Seeing this, Ye Ming's heart moved as soon as he got the benefit.
It may be difficult for others to find this intruding monster, but for Ye Ming, who is good at calculations, that is not necessarily the case.
Since I haven't seen the bat spirit, I can't directly calculate the opponent's position, but I can take a trick.
The method is very simple. Since the opponent has killed so many people, he must have extremely evil power. All he has to do is calculate the location of the evildoer with the most evil power in Yanhua Mansion.
In this way, after three divination times, the opponent's location was roughly locked.
...
Hongli County.
Ye Ming came here again.
It's just that this time he didn't show up, but maintained his normal invisible state and came here.
Knowing that the most evil monster was about to appear here, and what he had seen before, the heads of the Wan family were filled with omens of disaster, Ye Ming went straight to the Wan family without hesitation.
Stopping above the Wan Family, looking down, I found that the blood between the eyebrows of the Wan Family was extremely rich, almost overflowing.
Obviously, this is a sign of impending disaster.
Seeing this, Ye Ming felt a little tired.
What does this mean? It's just that I can help the Wan family move their graves and avoid death.
But I never expected that the person who saved the lives of the Wan family by moving the grave was actually me!
Inexplicably, Ye Ming felt like he shot himself in the foot.
If I had known this, I should have charged double, no, quadruple the fee!
Feeling that he had suffered a great loss, Ye Ming had a dark face and waited for the arrival of the monster in the air.
Not long after, I saw a black cloud flying from the sky, and there was a bird on it——
Big toad! ?
Hey, shouldn't it be a bat spirit?
Why is it a toad monster?
Later, Ye Ming understood.
This toad monster has a lot of evil power on it, and sores have appeared in many places.
That is a sign of being disliked by heaven. If it continues like this, this monster will be punished by heaven.
Because Ye Ming measured it as the monster with the most evil power, he didn't expect that it was not the bat spirit, but the one in front of him.
Since Lu Yi and Lei Ling were not called this time, someone had to go into battle in person.
When the toad monster saw Ye Ming blocking the road, he buzzed:
"How dare you, God Mao, dare to stop me from seeking revenge. If you don't want to die, leave quickly!"
As a big devil, Ye Ming does not allow any monster to be more arrogant than him.
He planned to take action first and lead the toad monster to a remote and uninhabited place, and then let it know what cruelty means.
Just as he was about to take action, he suddenly saw a bright light flying from the distant horizon. It flew here in an instant and pointed directly at the toad monster.
Faced with the sudden attack, the toad monster was so frightened that he barely had time to turn sideways.
In the end, it was a little late, and the bright light flashed across my back.
The skin on his back, which was covered with abscesses, suddenly burst open and blood flowed freely.
"ah!!"
The toad monster screamed.
After the bright light struck, people could see the whole thing clearly, it turned out to be a sword.
Just when the sword attracted everyone's attention, a Taoist's voice came:
"The blue bird carries the wind and the clouds are quiet, and the flowers fall in peace in the world."
As the sound came, a handsome Taoist in his thirties with a wide robe, big sleeves, a wild and unruly appearance, and messy hair floated over. The sword flew in front of him and made a soft sound.
After this man appeared, he flicked the sword lightly, looked at the toad monster sideways and said:
"You monster, you are so evil. No one must have reasoned with you, so you went astray.
Do you need Pindao to tell you some truth? "
When the injured toad monster saw the visitor, he was furious:
"Be brave. With just a little bit of cultivation, you dare to sneak attack on me, grandpa, and you are seeking death!"
As he spoke, the toad monster opened its mouth and sprayed out poisonous mist.
When the Taoist saw this, his expression did not change, but his eyes became dangerous.
"So you don't want to listen to the poor man's reasoning?"
"Speak of your mother's truth, you stinking Taoist priest, go to hell!"
The toad monster spit out more poisonous mist and wanted to give the Taoist a taste of its power.
The Taoist was very disdainful of the toad monster's attack and said:
"all!"
As soon as this word came out, the poisonous fog immediately dissipated, leaving no trace left.
When the toad monster saw this, he was shocked, knowing that he had encountered an existence that he could not afford to offend.
With its evil strength, it can survive until now, so it naturally has the means to escape. When it sees something is not going well, it will run away without hesitation.
But the Taoist pronounced the word "zhe" again.
As soon as this word came out, the toad monster suddenly felt as if he was immobilized and unable to move.
The Taoist stopped the toad monster, turned his hand, took out a bundle of ropes, threw it out, and tied the toad monster tightly.
Then, holding one end of the rope with one hand, he smiled at Ye Ming and said:
"I'm a poor Taoist, I've met my Taoist friend in Jing'an, Zhengxuanmen."
"Taoist Master Jing'an? Are you the senior brother of Taoist Master Chongquan?"
Ye Ming was a little surprised, he didn't expect it to be this person.
"Hey, do you know Chongquan? Wait a minute!"
Taoist priest Jing'an counted with his fingers. After calculating for a long time, he looked at Ye Ming with a frown.
"Strange, why can't I count you as a person?"
"This is a small piece of land in Yanhua Mansion. It belongs to the City God lineage. It is indeed not a human being."
Ye Ming explained with a smile.
Taoist priest Jing'an heard this and nodded:
"That's no wonder, it turns out they are from the underworld."
As he said that, he pointed to the hilltop over there:
"Come on, let's go over there. I still want to talk to this monster!"
Ye Ming was also curious about how he was going to reason with this monster who had so much evil power and refused to kill him.
Soon, they landed on a mountain.
Taoist priest Jing'an threw the toad monster on the ground and asked:
"have you eaten?"
The toad monster, who was tied up like a rice dumpling, was wondering how the other party was going to reason with him, but he didn't expect such a question to be asked. He was a little confused and didn't answer.
"How dare you not reply? Are you looking down on me?"
Taoist priest Jing'an was furious. He picked up the sheathed sword and beat him violently with the scabbard.
Even though it was protected by the scabbard, Taoist Master Jing'an's cultivation was there, and it would still hurt like hell if he hit someone.
The toad monster was beaten violently by him and screamed repeatedly:
"Eat, eat, little one eats."
"What are you eating? People who don't know how to eat? They should be beaten!"
Taoist priest Jing'an beat him violently again, which must have made the toad monster change his words:
"No, I didn't eat."
"Oh, I haven't eaten. I haven't eaten well. I want you to suffer a little!"
With that said, he was beaten again.
The toad monster screamed:
"You will be beaten if you eat, and you will be beaten if you haven't eaten. Has the little one eaten or not?"
"You don't know whether you've eaten or not? You're still asking this poor man. He's so confused and deserves a beating!"
After another beating, Taoist Master Jing'an asked again:
"You called me Tao before, right?"
Hearing this question, the toad monster was frightened and wanted to deny it, but he dared not deny it:
"I scolded you."
"It doesn't matter if you scold me, but if you don't even want to listen to what I say, that's too much. You should be beaten!"
"Ah~~"
Just like that, before he even started to reason, the toad monster had already been beaten several times. Don't even mention that miserable situation.
"Okay, from now on, Pindao is going to be reasonable. You have to listen carefully."
"Listen, little one, you must listen carefully."
"I asked you to speak, but you interrupted and deserved a beating!"
After another beating, Taoist Master Jing'an began to reason. What reason was he talking about?
How to make toad wine.
Hearing Taoist Master Jing'an speak in such detail, the toad monster seemed to be immersed in the scene, trembling with fear.
"What's going on? Don't you think Pindao's principles sound good? You still dare to tremble. You should be beaten!"
The toad monster, who was beaten again, forced himself to calm down and stopped talking and trembling.
"What's going on? I've been preaching for a long time, but you didn't respond at all. You should be beaten!"
The toad monster, who was about to cry without tears, became more obedient now and acted as if he was all ears.
"The expression is too fake, you should be beaten!"
"The expression is too stiff, you should be beaten!"
"Why didn't you ask questions? You should be beaten!"
"I asked you to speak. If you speak, you should be beaten!"
"Why are you silent again? It's time for a beating!"
No matter what the toad monster did, it was all wrong and disrespected Taoist Master Jing'an's principles. In just half an hour, he was beaten more than twenty times.
The key point is that Taoist Priest Jing'an's attacks are extremely cunning. Every time he attacks, the toad monster will be left with internal injuries.
In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and died on the spot.
"Hey, I just listened to the truth for a while and then I died. Hey, there is no future!"
Taoist priest Jing'an shook his head and put the toad monster's corpse into the gourd he carried with him:
"However, the wine brewed by such a big toad must be very good. This guy is somewhat useful!"
