This god is really evil

Chapter 162 Your father will help you get on the list!
Shentu Yun spoke very quickly. Before Niu Ma could react, he subconsciously answered:

"...Yes, my whole family has passed away, and I am the only one left..."

Then he paused, his eyes darkened, and continued:

"After being accepted as a disciple by the master, we got along well with each other. The master was also very dedicated to his disciples. I thought I had found a good destination and had a family again. Who would have thought... even Senior Brother Yin Qian..."

A hint of joy flashed across Shentu Yun's eyes, but he sighed, raised his hand and patted Niu Ma's shoulder, saying:
"I know you are a loyal and kind person, and you still have filial piety towards Xiao Chucai. However, Xiao Chucai is stubborn and has evil intentions, so he deserves his punishment. You don't need to worry about it."

Shentu Yun now vaguely felt that judging from the qi and blood alone, this Niu Ma had actually reached the second level of the tendon and bone realm. He was truly a genius!

Seventeen years old, at the second level of the muscle and bone realm!
He looked at Niu Ma in front of him with admiration and continued:

"I have always loved talents, especially young people with great ambitions and ups and downs in life. I have the most pity for them, because when I was young, I was also full of passion..."

As he spoke, Shentu Yun looked out the window at the night scene, as if remembering his dreams from his youth.

Then he turned to look at Niu Ma, his eyes full of love, and said:
"Seeing you is like seeing me... It is fate that we meet at this time. Are you willing to be my son?"

His eyes were sharp, like a sword stabbing at Niu Ma.

When he first learned that Niu Ma was a martial arts genius, he did not take it too seriously. He even thought of recommending Niu Ma to the county magistrate. The county magistrate loved to adopt sons and might be delighted to see an opportunity.

When Shen Tu Yun found out that Niu Ma actually had a human-level mid-grade physique, the first thing he thought of was to adopt him as his own son.

He certainly wouldn't be a fool like Xiao Chucai and use such a genius to make pills.

You have to know that the talent that Niu Ma is showing now is definitely worthy of being on that list!
If his adopted son was on the list of people, he would be a shining star among the prime minister's party, and it would also greatly enhance the prestige and status of his adoptive father!

But we must also be on guard against this Niu Ma being ungrateful and declining our kindness. If that happens, if we can't get it, it will naturally be destroyed. There is no way such a genius will fall into the hands of others.

I saw Niu Ma in front of me, without any hesitation, immediately fell to the ground like a golden mountain overturning a jade pillar, and said loudly:

"My foster father is here, please accept my child's respect!"

Why did he seem to be quite skilled in this set of movements? Shen Tuyun didn't have time to think about it. He was delighted and with a bright smile on his face, he helped Niu Ma up and said:

"Hahaha, good! Good! Good! I already have five sons. From now on, you will be my sixth son!"

The Taoist priest at the side also laughed and said to Shen Tu Yun:
"Congratulations, Master Shentu, for having another baby!"

This Taoist is called "Jingxin", a cultivator in the middle stage of the Visualization Realm. He is Shentu Yun's aide and good friend, and holds an extraordinary status in the Xuanzhengyuan of Anding County.

Shentu Yun laughed and said:

"Ma'er, why don't you meet your uncle Jingxin!"

Niu Ma immediately bowed and said:
"Hello, Uncle Jingxin!"

Shen Tuyun then pointed at the other four sworn brothers Yan Chaoyun, Ruan Wu, Qun Qi, and Ruan Jiu who were present, and said:

"This is your eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother!"

He also had an adopted son, the evil Yuan Jun, but Yuan Jun was already dead, so it didn't matter.

At this time, Niu Ma was adopted as an adopted son, and everyone instantly became brothers. Yan Chaoyun and others could no longer act too cold, and came over to congratulate Shen Tu Yun.

Niu Ma also bowed one by one, showing great respect and joy.

The Taoist Jingxin immediately took out a talisman from his bosom and gave it to Niu Madao:
"This is a Heart-Searching Talisman, which can help you to search your heart and slay your inner demons when you break through to the Inner Strength Realm. Consider it a meeting gift."

Niu Ma took it quickly, realizing how precious it was, and thanked him:

"I am only at the second level of the Muscle and Bones Realm now, which is far from the Inner Strength Realm. I am afraid that I will disappoint your expectations."

Taoist Jingxin laughed and said:

"With your talent, you have already reached the second level of the Bones and Muscles Realm at the age of seventeen. It is a simple matter for you to break through to the Inner Strength Realm. Your foster father saw this and is eager to recruit talents! If the old Taoist's inference is correct, you will be on that list!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Chaoyun and several other adopted sons couldn't help but have their pupils shrink and their hearts tremble.

Originally, they didn't think much of Niu Ma. After all, he was just from a small place like Qinghe County. What future could he have?
Although he didn't deliberately neglect me, he was subconsciously distant and cold.

Just from what Shentu Yun and Jing Xin said, this Niu Ma might really be able to make it onto the list and become famous all over the world!

Niu Ma asked in confusion:
"I've heard of this list before. What's so good about it?"

Taoist Jingxin raised his lips slightly and said:
"The three lists of Heaven, Earth and Man are posted by the Palace of Destiny to select the talents of the world. The list of Man is 500. Those who can be on the list are the top 500 young talents in the world. What do you think are the benefits?"

“Any party that has a talent on the Human List will do its best to support them, because once they are on the Human List, the possibility of them being on the Earth List is extremely high, and those on the Earth List are all true local tyrants, princes, generals, and even... monarchs!”

"If you can make it onto the list, the Prime Minister will have to praise you!"

There were a few more things he hadn't said, which was that if Niu Ma could make it onto the list, his adoptive father Shen Tu Yun would also benefit from it, and all kinds of resources would definitely be available.

And as far as we know now, anyone who can reach the state of inner strength before the age of 20 will basically be on the human list.

Taoist Jingxin then turned to look at Shentu Yun and said:
"As an uncle, I have already presented a gift. As a father, are you going to be so petty?"

Shentu Yun laughed, took out a jade box from his arms, handed it to Niu Ma, and said:
"Now that we have become father and son, I don't have much good to give you, so I'll give you this 'Internal Breath Pill' to help you stabilize your internal breath in this muscle and bone realm, so that you can reach the internal strength realm sooner!" Seeing this pill, the people present couldn't help but feel jealous.

Yan Chaoyun, who was holding a knife, moved his eyes slightly, pursed his lips, but did not say anything.

This internal breath pill is like a miraculous medicine for warriors at the muscle and bone realm.

It is equivalent to imitating the circulation of Qi and blood in the inner strength state in the tendons and bones state.

As long as one can take the Inner Breathing Pill in the Muscle and Bone Realm, breaking through to the Inner Strength Realm is basically a sure thing.

Even Shentu Yun only has this one Neixi Pill.

Although the adopted sons were jealous, they also understood that Niu Ma's talent was too strong. His human-level mid-grade physique was beyond their reach.

Therefore, even if they were dissatisfied and jealous in their hearts, they could not say anything, but instead congratulated them.

Niu Ma looked at the pill in his hand and felt that similar scenes had happened many times. He understood that the pill was his only if he swallowed it on the spot.

Without any hesitation, he opened the jade box, took out a green pill as big as jasper, and swallowed it.

Seeing Niu Ma's decisiveness, Shen Tu Yun was even more eager to recruit talents and laughed:

"Good! You have courage and guts! I will help you to absorb the medicinal power, and teach you a technique that can help you reach the great perfection of the tendon and bone realm! I also know that Xiao Chucai's [Flame Shadow Shattering Jade Knife] is still far from it!"

……

At the Sitianjian Yamen, Li Yan, who had just returned, was resting in his bedroom when he suddenly felt a cool breath coming from his dantian and flowing throughout his body.

This breath actually connected with the internal energy in his body, and then flowed into his muscles and bones, completing a cycle in the blink of an eye.

Li Yan could feel that his state of great perfection in the realm of muscles and bones had taken another step forward, and there was only a thin layer of window paper left to the state of inner strength!

What delicious food is Niu Niu eating again?

When it comes to raising cattle, it’s better to have everyone help raise them together…

Just as he was thinking, Li Yan suddenly felt that the information on Niu Ma on the lotus throne changed again:
[Niu Ma]: [Third level of tendon and bone realm, entry level of Chengyun swordsmanship]

Immediately afterwards, Li Yan felt a large amount of information pouring in. The [Chengyun Sword Technique] he mastered reached the state of great perfection almost instantly. It also suddenly widened his Dantian Qi Sea, and his muscles and bones were tempered like gold and jade.

This is a sword technique that is more powerful than the [Flame Shadow Shattering Jade Knife] at the True Essence Realm!

Li Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

Sword skills?
It does look more impressive than knife skills.

At this moment, he could feel that his martial arts were already strong enough to fight against someone in the early stage of inner strength!

It seems that Niu Niu's talent has been recognized by his party, and he will be able to make rapid progress next.

Instead, it was Master Liu who made him a little worried... He immediately found a pen and paper and worked all night.

Early the next morning, Li Yan went to visit Liu Yunhe and found that Liu Yunhe's Taoist injuries were even more serious, which made him feel awed.

Obviously, the shattered ideals, the disappointment and even despair in the wise emperor were a huge blow to Liu Yunhe.

This is something that even Confucianism and Taoism cannot repair. He can only get out of it on his own.

Fortunately, although Liu Yunhe was seriously injured, he was still able to cheer up and try hard to find a way out.

According to his thinking, even if the people in the county heard the rumor of the massacre, not many of them would actually run away. They would not believe that the knife would hit them unless it was placed in front of them.

Another thing is that if the people of the entire county really fled on a large scale, it would confirm the so-called crime of "collaborating with evil". At that time, the county magistrate Song Kaida could use this excuse to expand the scale of the massacre even more frantically and arrest people throughout Qinghe County.

With the bureaucratic machinery of Da Qi, it is difficult to benefit the people, but it is easy to crack down on cults.

Therefore, it would be inappropriate to release the news directly.

We must find a way to stop those 3,000 soldiers from the Demon Camp.

If they want to stop the 3,000 soldiers of the Demon Camp led by the county magistrate, they must stop the county magistrate.

Liu Yunhe and Song Kaida are of the same age. He plans to go alone to stop them and have a good chat with the county magistrate Song Kaida. If that doesn't work, he will kill him on the spot.

Li Yan shook his head when he heard this method to break the impasse.

At this time, Liu Yunhe still had some illusions about these people in the prime minister's party, perhaps because he felt that the county magistrate Song Kaida had also read the books of sages and had some conscience.

But it was difficult for Li Yan to stop Liu Yunhe, so he had to arrange for Zhao Qingshan and others to accompany Liu Yunhe to the study in the city to relax.

Li Yan summoned the heads of the detective squads in the city.

A group of detectives gathered in the Sitianjian Yamen at this time, and heard the shocking news from the supervisor, Mr. Li:
It is said that a demon from an evil cult is planning to arrive at Qinghe County in three days, pretending to be the county magistrate Song Kaida and knocking at the door. Don't open the city gate then!
