Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 70 Two Fingers
Zhou Pingdan pointed his finger at the tiger monster's brow.

The human trafficker Aunt Mei said that the center of the eyebrows is the tiger monster’s weakness.

Zhou Ping concentrated all his body's strength with a single finger and added the bonus of powerful spiritual techniques.

This finger is comparable to the eighth grade.

Zhou Ping's suggestion was well thought out.

It is said to be one finger, but it is actually two fingers.

The tiger demon triggered the first move, and the spiritual finger blocked the tiger demon's attack.

The second finger, Zhou Ping’s full-strength finger.

Zhou Ping knew that even if he used all his strength he could not stop the tiger monster's attack, but Lingxi could do it with just one finger.

So Zhou Ping gathered his strength and prepared for the second finger.

This finger hit the tiger demon right between the eyebrows.

Although he didn't know why Aunt Mei betrayed the tiger demon, Zhou Ping was still willing to give it a try.

Even if it doesn't work, Zhou Ping's second Lingxi Finger will be triggered again, and then he can just teleport away.

As Zhou Ping's second finger fell, the tiger demon fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

Aunt Mei said that the tiger demon’s weakness is right between its eyebrows.

After the tiger demon landed on the ground, his eyes gradually became unfocused.

Zhou Ping was stunned: What a sloppy death.

Zhou Ping was a little bit unbelievable.

The tiger demon is too powerful.

Zhou Ping really didn't expect this kind of ending.

Although Zhou Ping did not expect this ending, Captain Leng did.

"Thank you for your help, senior." Captain Leng breathed a sigh of relief after surviving the disaster.

When Captain Leng saw Zhou Ping's cloth-man image, he immediately recognized him as the hero who saved Qinghe County.

So when Captain Leng saw Zhou Ping, he knew that this was a sure thing.

As expected, Captain Leng's idea came true and the hero Bu Tiao easily killed the tiger monster.

In the eyes of Captain Leng, Zhou Ping killed the tiger demon very easily.

But Zhou Ping was sweating profusely. It was really too dangerous just now.

It’s just that Zhou Ping was wrapped in Confucian robes and looked like a mummy.

So no one else can see his cold sweat.

This moment just now consumed one year of Zhou Ping's life.

Zhou Ping bent down and grabbed the tiger monster.

The former captain Leng wanted to trick him into making progress.

But the next moment, Zhou Ping disappeared from the spot.

Captain Leng was startled, and then his admiration grew stronger: "As expected of a hero, he moved so fast that I couldn't even see how he left."

Captain Leng was a ninth-rank cultivator and he had seen many masters, but it was rare to see someone as invisible as Zhou Ping.

too fast!
Zhou Ping appeared in his old house and took off his disguise.

He left with the world within reach.

Zhou Ping has too many secrets and he doesn't want anyone to know them.

Even if it costs a year of your life.

Zhou Ping put his hand on the tiger monster and then devoured the tiger monster's soul.

But surprisingly, Aunt Mei's soul is also in the tiger monster's body.

Zhou Ping absorbed the souls of a man and a demon.

"Take good care of the body." Zhou Ping said and turned to leave.

There are still some things that have not been dealt with at the government office.

After Zhou Ping left, the ghost bride appeared holding the ghost baby.

"Daddy, daddy, mommy, mommy." The ghost baby felt extremely uncomfortable.

Its cultivation level is too low. If it weren’t for the ghost bride, the ghost baby would have died long ago.

The ghost bride disappeared with the tiger demon's body.

In a house in Yamen Pang, Zhou Ping woke up the sleeping Uncle Lame.

"Uncle Bo, Uncle Bo, are you okay?" Zhou Ping kept pinching Uncle Bo's Ren Zhong and shaking him.

Uncle Lame woke up coughing: "It was fine, but if you shook again you would have died."

Zhou Ping breathed a sigh of relief. He was still in the mood to joke, so it should be fine.

"What's the situation now?" Uncle Lame said a little confused.

After Uncle Lame cut off the tiger demon's tail, he was stunned by the tiger demon's roar and didn't know what happened next.

Zhou Ping supported his lame uncle and came to the yamen.

The government office had long since disappeared, leaving only a mess.

Captain Leng brought the shivering County Magistrate Lu.

Wang Cheng and Yuan Gong also woke up.

Everyone was confused and didn't know what was going on.

In the minds of several people, it should be the tiger monster that ate them all.

Zhou Ping said: "Uncle Lame, after I rescued you, a cloth hero appeared."

"Yes, after the hero Bu Tiao appeared, he crushed the tiger demon to death with just one finger." Captain Leng hurriedly introduced to County Magistrate Lu.

County Magistrate Lu's legs were trembling with fear: "The tiger demon is dead? The tiger demon is really dead? You are not lying to me, are you?"

County Magistrate Lu was still frightened by the tiger demon's resurrection.

Captain Leng was very sure that the tiger demon was dead: "Don't worry, sir, that hero is the one who moved the mountain. It should be no problem for the hero to do this."

County Magistrate Lu breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that when Qinghe County was crushed by a mountain, a great warrior moved the entire mountain away.

If you can move a mountain, killing a tiger monster should be easy.

County Magistrate Lu finally calmed down.

"The tiger demon is dead, and I don't know where the human trafficker is." Mr. Yuan was still thinking about his daughter.

When Wang Cheng heard what Yuan Gong said, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Wang Cheng and Captain Leng are both competing for the position of Captain.

Now the tiger demon is dead, but it was not killed by Captain Leng, so he still has a chance.

Wang Cheng didn’t know that the human trafficker Aunt Mei was dead. He had just fainted and didn’t see Aunt Mei being swallowed by the tiger monster.

"The human traffickers were eaten by the tiger demon." Captain Leng explained to everyone what had just happened.

The tiger demon ate the human trafficker Aunt Mei for no apparent reason, and Aunt Mei exposed the tiger demon's weakness.

"Strange, shouldn't the tiger demon and the human traffickers be accomplices?" County Magistrate Lu said curiously.

The head of the police sneered and said, "Monsters are all ambitious, how can they be accomplices with humans? Even if they are accomplices, they only have interests, no feelings."

Wang Cheng's face was a little gloomy. He didn't expect that the trafficker was also dead. What's worse is that the trafficker was found by Captain Leng.

As a result, his position as captain of police was completely ruined.

Yuan Gong was still thinking about his daughter: "Captain Leng, have you found my daughter too?"

"Brother Yuan, I found your daughter." Zhou Ping said.

Zhou Ping told her about how he happened to meet Aunt Mei while looking for the cat.

But Aunt Mei ran away in fear, and Zhou Ping only found ten people who were turned into cats by human traffickers.

Zhou Ping put ten kittens in a house.

After hearing this, Yuan Gong immediately went to look for his daughter. He was busy and risked his life to deal with the rat demon just for his daughter.

"Quick, Constable Wang, take a few people to bring my son back." County Magistrate Lu also said hurriedly.

"Wait!" Captain Leng suddenly said to Magistrate Lu.

County Magistrate Lu was a little unhappy: "What's wrong, Captain Leng?"

Captain Leng glanced at Yuan Gong and said, "Mr. County Magistrate, your son was not captured by human traffickers. You won't be able to find him even if you look for him now."

When Captain Leng caught Aunt Mei, he interrogated her first.

Aunt Mei said that she was indeed a human trafficker and she could use the animal-making technique to turn the child into a cat.

But Aunt Mei did not admit that she had arrested the county magistrate's son.

County Magistrate Lu also understood: "If the traffickers didn't catch my son, then who did?"

The cold captain pointed at Yuan Gong and said confidently: "Sir, it's him!"

Captain Leng was very sure that it was Yuan Gong who arrested Magistrate Lu's son.

"Among the ten people who lost their children, three were wealthy, the other six were poor, and the other one was Yuan Gong." "Yuan Gong is a tenth-rank official."

"Engineer Yuan has the ability and the motive to steal the child."

The reason why Captain Leng has been able to sit in the position of Captain for many years is not only because of his strength, but also because of his intelligence.

Mr. Yuan had a dark face and said nothing.

County Magistrate Lu's face changed, and he quickly hid behind Captain Leng. He was afraid that Yuan Gonggou would be desperate and attack him.

Wang Cheng also distanced himself from Yuan Gong.

"Someone, come and arrest Engineer Yuan for me!" Captain Leng shouted.

A group of yamen runners appeared out of nowhere and quickly arrested Yuan Gong.

Zhou Ping frowned slightly. He was originally supporting Uncle Bo, and then he took the opportunity to write the word "evidence" on Uncle Bo's hand.

Uncle Lame looked at Zhou Ping deeply.

"Mr. County Magistrate, please provide evidence for everything."

"Engineer Yuan is from my Yan Family Escort Agency. If you have evidence, you can arrest him. If you don't have evidence, you can't just guess."

Uncle Lame said.

Yuan Gong glanced at Uncle Lame as he went to the market. But he knew it was over, everything was over.

After Yuan Gong's daughter went missing, he went to the county government to file a complaint, but no one paid any attention to him.

The yamen runners would rather stay up all night looking for the county magistrate's lost dog than look for his lost children.

Mr. Yuan was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

With nowhere else to go, Yuan Gong thought of stealing the county magistrate's son.

Yuan Gong did capture Magistrate Lu’s son and hid him in his own home.

Sure enough, after Magistrate Lu discovered that his son was missing, he immediately sealed off the city and sent people to look for the human trafficker.

"Uncle Lame, thank you very much, but..."

"Brother Yuan, Uncle Lame is right, we need evidence!"

Mr. Yuan wanted to say something but was interrupted by Zhou Ping.

Yuan Gong's mind moved, and he had some guesses, so he stopped talking.

"Could it be that Uncle Lame and Zhou Ping know about this? Could it be that they will help me?" Engineer Yuan thought to himself.

Although he thought so, Yuan Gong still felt that it was impossible.

He stole the county magistrate's child in an extremely secretive manner, and only he and his wife knew about it.

Even the two sons in the family didn't know.

Mr. Yuan hid the child in a small cellar in his home, drugged the child and fed him food every day to ensure that the child would not die.

"Come here, go search Engineer Yuan's house! Search it thoroughly." Captain Leng gave the order.

"Yes!"

Several yamen runners received the order and rushed to Yuan Gong's house. Leng, the head of the police, found a stool and ordered Lu to sit down.

Wang Cheng found a quilt from the ruins and covered County Magistrate Lu with it.

Magistrate Lu looked at the royal city with admiration.

Soon, several yamen runners came back.

"Where is the young master?" Captain Leng asked, grabbing a yamen runner.

Finding Magistrate Lu’s son is the hope for Captain Leng to secure his position as Captain.

Several yamen runners shook their heads.

"To answer Lengtou, the brothers and I have been searching the Yuan family for a long time, turning the house upside down, but we still can't find the young master." Several yamen runners said.

The bailiffs were telling the truth. They searched the Yuan family's house thoroughly but could not find Magistrate Lu's son.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Captain Leng scolded several other captains, then grabbed Engineer Yuan and said, "Tell me, where did you hide Young Master Lu?"

Mr. Yuan had a cold face and said nothing, but he was shocked in his heart.

Yuan Gong hid Magistrate Lu's son in his home, but several yamen runners couldn't find him.

Then there is only one possibility!
The child was removed.

But the child was still in his house yesterday.

Who has the ability to move the child away? Who knows that Magistrate Lu’s son is in my home?

Uncle Lame?

Although Uncle Lame is capable, he doesn't like to be in charge and is very cold to the bodyguards.

Zhou Ping!

Engineer Yuan glanced at Zhou Ping, but was not sure.

But all signs indicate that it was Zhou Ping.

Even if it was Zhou Ping, how did he do it! Yuan Gong couldn't figure it out.

Suddenly, a faint cry from the county government attracted everyone.

"Daddy, Daddy."

A child's voice was faint but nearby.

"Son!" County Magistrate Lu's eyes were full of joy.

Captain Leng's expression changed. Why is Magistrate Lu's son here?

Several yamen runners followed the direction of the sound and found a dry well.

In the dry well, a little boy was crying loudly.

The boy was the son of Magistrate Lu.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry and get my son out of the water." County Magistrate Lu said hurriedly.

Wang Cheng and several other yamen runners quickly fished out Magistrate Lu’s son.

"Captain Leng, now everything is clear." Wang Cheng looked relieved. It was a good thing for Wang Cheng that Captain Leng did not find the child.

Captain Leng failed to kill the tiger demon. Although he caught the human trafficker, the trafficker died.

Magistrate Lu’s son was not kidnapped by Engineer Yuan as Captain Leng said.

After the whole incident, it was Wang Cheng who made greater contribution.

County Magistrate Lu nodded and said, "It turns out that my son fell into a dry well. If I had known this, I would not have sealed off the city. Damn, the tiger demon really scared me to death."

County Magistrate Lu also thought that his son had accidentally fallen into a dry well, but no one had discovered him.

"Daddy, daddy."

The voice of a little girl made Yuan Gong tremble.

"Tu Tu." Mr. Yuan's eyes were full of tears and he hugged his daughter.

Ten lost children turned up.

Because the human trafficker Aunt Mei died, their magic spells also disappeared.

Xiaobai jumped onto Zhou Ping's shoulder and woke up. The time for the drug was up.

Yan Family Escort Agency.

Zhou Ping and Yuan Gong escorted Uncle Bo back home.

Uncle Lame asked about the situation of the "cloth hero".

"The tiger demon can be killed with just one finger, why didn't they destroy it long ago?" Uncle Lame couldn't understand.

Zhou Ping did not respond. He did not want to reveal his identity, even if it was Uncle Lame.

Yuan Gong said: "Perhaps this hero does not want to get involved in worldly affairs, but he is kind-hearted, so he has to help us."

Uncle Lame nodded slightly, agreeing with what Mr. Yuan said.

"The world has been in turmoil lately, so you should improve your skills quickly." Uncle Lame reminded, "The path of martial arts requires practicing in the world and experiencing life-and-death crises."

He Yunqing met Uncle Bo alone, hoping that Uncle Bo could persuade Zhou Ping to be a bodyguard for the mother and daughter.

Uncle Bo did not comment. Deep down, he hoped that Zhou Ping could continue to improve his cultivation.

Uncle Bo thinks Zhou Ping is a talented martial artist.

It is a waste of talent for such a person to be someone else's bodyguard, and it will also affect Zhou Ping's cultivation.

Zhou Ping nodded, understanding what Uncle Bo meant. Uncle Bo was reminding Zhou Ping not to be tempted by women.

Uncle Lame seemed to have thought of something, and his face looked a little lonely again.

"Why do people improve their cultivation?"

"If the girl I like also likes me, then it doesn't matter if I have no cultivation and become an ordinary person."

"People, it depends on your choice."

Uncle Lame waved his hand and gestured dejectedly for Zhou Ping to leave.
