Heavenly Official Sends Evil

Chapter 901 Dragon Tendons and Tiger Bones
puff.

Sun Shoubai collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from his throat.

But his limbs were twitching nervously, like a skinned frog, which made Shi Yan and Hao Ze scream in alarm.

Wu Xian jogged over, stepped on his back, and delivered another blow with the Burning Dream Dagger, which temporarily stopped him from struggling.

Then Wu Xian quickly searched the corpse.

The corpse felt cold to the touch, like fresh meat from a butcher shop freezer, which meant that Sun Shoubai had already died, and the one that attacked Shi Yan and Hao Ze was just a puppet controlled by evil spirits.

"found it!"

Wu Xian took out a pill the size of a longan and greeted the newlyweds.

"Run! It's almost midnight!"

As soon as Wu Xian finished speaking, the hourly chimes rang out from the direction of the small square.

Wow…

A rustling sound came from the Su residence, like footsteps, or the sound of a body rubbing against flowers, grass and trees.

The four newcomers followed Wu Xian and ran as fast as they could, not daring to look back even once throughout the entire process.

Soon Wu Xian led them to the back gate of the Su residence, and led the newlyweds out of the Su residence one by one, into the L-shaped area at the back.

Only then did the newlyweds dare to look behind the door, wondering what they were hiding from.

"Huh, there's nothing there."

Shi Yan blinked in surprise; she really hadn't seen anything.

But Wang Wei pointed to the ground behind the door. Following Wang Wei's finger, she saw that there were dense footprints behind the door. Some of these footprints were wet, some were covered in mud, and... none of the footprints were barefoot!

It's easy to imagine how many things are staring straight at them from behind that door!
Bang!
Wu Xian closed the door.

"It's safe here for now. We can rest here for a while."

The newlyweds felt as if they had been granted a pardon and sat down on the ground. However, resting was not Wu Xian's purpose; he wanted to talk about what had happened when they parted.

Shi Yan and Hao Zexian recounted their experiences in the illusion. They should have gained new traits, but since they did not have the Familiarity Certificate, even they themselves did not know what their new traits were.

Then Wu Xian also told the two of them about his experiences in the Xiao and Lin mansions.

When they heard Wu Xian say that they had to help the monk pay off his debts in order to leave the Lin residence, Hao Ze was stunned for a moment. He pointed at Wu Xian and said, "But all three of you are here!"

"Yes, we're all here." Yang Lin and Wang Wei nodded.

Shi Yan asked in confusion, "Then how did you two escape from the Lin residence?"

Upon hearing this question, Wu Xian's face immediately darkened.

"I spent money."

"But didn't that monk say that he would repay his debt with his life?"

Wu Xian slowly took out a dark green banknote from his pocket. The banknote was about twice the size of a normal banknote. It was inscribed with "Issued by Heaven and Earth Bank", with a face value of 10, and featured a portrait of a deity wearing a crown.

"This is ghost money... all the ghost money I have left."

Back at the Lin residence, time ticked by, and the pressure on Wu Xian grew heavier. Just as the atmosphere became increasingly tense, Wu Xian took out all the ghost money he had. "If it can only be a life for a life, then one of the three of us must die there."

"But the monk also said that if we had a life on our shoulders, then if we died there, it would be his good karma, which could offset the debt of a life."

"In other words, this debt can not only be repaid with one's life, but also with good deeds. And the ghost money is what I exchanged with good deeds. It is a hard currency in the underworld."

"After I took out the ghost money, the eyes of those eleven evil spirits widened. Clearly, they felt that taking some money into the underworld was more worthwhile than taking a life to pay off their debts..."

"Therefore, I used the ghost money I had accumulated to repay the debt of eleven lives, and obtained the treasures and the county annals from the monk!"

For the four newcomers, this deal was certainly a good one.

But Wu Xian was heartbroken.

You should know that in a blessed land with the 'Outer God - Many Treasures Tathagata', 70 of these ghost money notes can buy a worship item!
This time, Wu Xian distributed nearly seven hundred pieces of ghost money, essentially emptying his savings.

"God of the Year's Fortune and Misfortune, I'm essentially paying out of my own pocket to save someone for you this time. You must reimburse me after the blessed land is finished..."

After mentally complaining a few times, Wu Xianchao beckoned to Yang Lin, who then placed a box between the five of them.

Because he was in a hurry, Wu Xian did not examine either the county annals or the treasures.

The first thing to be opened was the treasure box.

The contents of the box looked unremarkable, like a string of white beads. It felt oily and somewhat disgusting to the touch.

Wu Xian opened the ordination certificate to check:

Dragon Tendon and Tiger Bone Bracelet: Long ago, when the Monkey King first emerged from Flower Fruit Mountain, he killed a magnificent tiger. He used the tiger skin to make a skirt, and kept the tiger bones to play with. When the Monkey King was serving as the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, he was bored, so he rubbed the tiger bones into beads. He also obtained a piece of dragon tendon from the Great God of the Three Altars and made a bracelet. After enjoying it for two days, he casually threw it away...

This bracelet is one of the seven treasures used to suppress Xuanling County. Wearing this bracelet will improve physical fitness. If you take the "Dragon and Tiger Tonic Pill" while wearing the bracelet, the strengthening effect of the Dragon and Tiger Tonic Pill can be retained permanently!

After Wu Xian finished reading, he licked his lips.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a treasure; its effects are in no way inferior to the 'Sacred Flame Token of Benevolent Words'.

The biggest drawback of the Dragon Tiger Tonic Pill is that its effect of doubling physical fitness only lasts for one minute. However, with this bracelet, the physical fitness of the tonic pill holder will be dramatically improved!
Unfortunately, Sun Shoubai, who possessed the powerful tonic, died in the illusion.

Wu Xian also examined the Dragon Tiger Tonic Pills that he had taken from Sun Shoubai. It turned out that the tonic pills he had tried to save him were just ordinary pills and had no effect whatsoever.

Therefore, Wu Xian could only keep the bracelet himself. After wearing the bracelet, Wu Xian felt that he was full of energy, and his strength and speed had been greatly improved.

Unfortunately, the bracelet couldn't exert its full effect on him.

Besides the bracelet, there was the Lin family's county annals.

Liu Nana was still hanging on the first floor, so Wu Xian handed over the task of reading the county annals to Shi Yan.

"Lin Hu was the son of the Xuanling Lin family."

"He was fond of swindling when he was young, and as he grew older, seeing that many villagers were devout Buddhists, he pretended to be a monk, raised a lot of money, and squandered it all on gambling and prostitution..."

"The tiger's actions caused many families in Xuanling County to be destroyed. Ye's son, Yan Kai, wanted to seek justice for the villagers, but his mother was suddenly sprayed with water and died in her room."

"After many days, the strong men of the Xiao family were furious and broke down the gate of the Lin family, intending to send Lin Hu to the authorities. However, they found Lin Hu hanging upside down from the beam, with a rope through his thigh, crying and howling in agony."

"Having once entered the Avici Hell and personally experienced the terrors of the Nine Netherworlds, I now wish to repent and reform..."
