This god is really evil

Chapter 63 Please, Lord Saint, set off (asking for monthly tickets)
Old Liu, you really know how to choose a place for me...

Li Yan muttered to himself:
"Thank you, Master Liu, and thank you, Director Yang, for your care."

Yang Jinsong laughed loudly and said:

"Don't worry, Master Li. We are all from Weizi Town, so we should take care of each other. I will need your support in the future."

Seeing that the arrangement had been agreed upon, Liu Yunhe nodded to Li Yan and said:

"Yan'er, the master is leaving. You must be careful in everything. When this matter is over, the master will reward you according to your merits."

He had just consumed a lot of energy, but instead entered a state of emptiness. It was just right for him to find a place to take the Confucian and Taoist rhymes, repair his Taoist injuries, and enhance his inspiration.

Li Yan clasped his fists and said:
"Farewell, Master Liu."

Old Liu has been squeezed dry today, so he needs to replenish his energy before he can continue squeezing.

Yang Jinsong on the side also smiled and said:
"Master Xiao Li, since we have communicated, I will take my leave. I will come to find you on the day of the water and land ceremony."

Having said that, he clasped his fists and strode away behind Liu Yunhe.

After the two left, Li Yan sat down on the edge of the bed and began to carefully review tonight's harvest.

One bone-refining pill, one block of concealing ink, eight paintings and calligraphy that were permeated with Liu Yunhe's majestic aura, plus the previous one [Suppressing Evil], a total of nine paintings, and each one was the result of Old Liu's hard work.

Add to that the ghost feather with the Akabane Fire Body attached to it left by Akabane Priest, and tonight can be said to be a great harvest.

He then put away the calligraphy and paintings, and picked out the Bone Refining Pill, Ink Disguising Pill and Ghostly Feather and put them away separately.

Niu Niu, these are all good products that I have selected for you, you have to do your best...

As for Yang Jinsong, he found him a little strange.

The other party has been in Weizi Town for decades. The Lieyang Boxing Gym can be said to be the pinnacle of martial arts in the entire Weizi Town. Yang Jinsong has hundreds or even thousands of disciples, plus those who have been related to the boxing gym for many years. What a huge force this is.

Since he was secretly cooperating with Liu Yunhe in investigating the case, how come he didn't have any information about the Yuhua Society?

Apart from anything else, it was said that there had been many unpleasant things between the Lieyang Boxing Gym and the Zhou Family Fish Stall, and they were vaguely rivals. Moreover, Zhou Family head Zhou Boyan was a feather master of the Yuhua Association. How could Yang Jinsong not notice this at all?

Is Metamorphosis really so deeply hidden?

There is something fishy going on here!

It’s useless to rely on others, you still have to rely on yourself... and Niu Niu!
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard footsteps. It turned out to be Ao Le and Chong Yun.

Seeing the stack of calligraphy and paintings in Li Yan's hand that exuded a sense of righteousness, Ao Le couldn't help but smack his lips in envy:
"Little Brother Li, Master Liu actually gave you so many calligraphy works! I was wondering what the two of you were doing behind closed doors. Master Liu really favors you."

Then he said:

"Master Liu has just left. Brother Li, what are your plans? Should we take you back to the charity cemetery?"

Li Yan glanced out the window and saw that the sky was already turning a little pale. After a night of tossing and turning, it was actually daytime.

Then he said:

"No need, Senior Brother Aole, Senior Brother Chongyun, just go and do your official duties. I am powerless and cannot help you. Instead, I am a burden."

After a pause, he smiled and said:

"Master Liu has already made arrangements. I've been hiding in the charity cemetery for the past few days. My home is nearby, so now is a good time to go back and take a look."

After hearing what Li Yan said, Chong Yun said:

"Brother Li, leave a few constables behind."

We just seized the nest of the Yuhua Society last night. Both the autopsy and the study of the formation diagram of the [Yin Yang Harmony Yuhua Ascension Formation] will take time.

Since Master Liu has already made arrangements, they can naturally get busy.

However, a few constables still had to be left behind for Li Yan to avoid any mistakes.

In addition, I should take some time in the next two days to visit the charity cemetery to check on the situation in case of any unexpected events.

The situation was immediately reported to the chief constable Zhao Mengsheng, who immediately volunteered to stay with three constables to serve as Li Yan's guards.

He had figured out in the past two days that following Ao Le and Chong Yun to investigate a case was a life-threatening situation, and he might encounter cult members at any time and fight for his life.

On the contrary, Lord Li Yan is valued by Supervisor Liu Yunhe, and it is absolutely safe to follow him.

"Sir Li, I see your family is here. I think your brother is also a rare talent. When you take up your post in the county, you can leave this family to me. I will definitely take good care of it."

On the small path in the town, Zhao Mengsheng changed into casual clothes as Li Yan requested, and followed Li Yan respectfully, one body length behind, while speaking with a smile on his face.

He saw with his own eyes last night that the Chief Inspector of the Imperial Observatory, Master Liu Yunhe, was very caring towards Li Yan. Before leaving, he specifically instructed Ao Le and the other detectives to protect Li Yan.

This person is a favorite of the Supervisor. Will he rise to prominence in Qinghe County in the future? Maybe he will be the next Supervisor. If I don't lick him now, when will I lick him?

Li Yan smiled slightly and said:

"Thank you very much, Captain Zhao."

Then he asked Zhao Mengsheng and several constables to wait outside, and he pushed open the gate, strode in, and shouted:
"Brother, sister-in-law, I'm back."

Given how diligent my elder brother and his wife are, they should have gotten up by now.

Sure enough, the eldest brother Li Lin, who was brushing his teeth with a willow branch in the yard, saw Li Yan and was delighted. He spit out the water in his mouth and said with a smile:

"I'm back! Are you going out with your classmates to study things again today?"

Sister-in-law Hu Yue'e was busy in the kitchen at this time, and she came out and said:
"No matter what, you must eat a fried egg before you leave today. Sister-in-law will make it for you right away! You don't know yet, your eldest brother is going to have a happy event!"

Li Yan smiled and asked:

"What's the good news? Did your monthly salary increase?"

Li Lin laughed, scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said:
"Yesterday at noon, the third shopkeeper came to me and said that I was diligent in my work and deserved a reward. He promoted me to the position of front hall manager and gave me one tael of silver per month, and a bonus of three taels of silver."

Li Yan smiled and said:

"That's great! Big brother is diligent and hardworking, and he's also smart, so he'll always be noticed by the shopkeeper. He's finally made it!"

Sister-in-law Hu Yue'e looked at Li Lin with tenderness in her eyes and said with a smile:

"Not only that, the shop said that there will be a water and land ceremony at the martial arts field in the town tomorrow. Anyone with status in the town can attend the ceremony. Your eldest brother is now the manager of the front hall, so he is also qualified to attend the ceremony and can bring his family with him." Li Lin smiled and said:

"There are few such grand ceremonies in our town. We must go and have a look. Little brother, you should come with us. It is said that even the spiritual officials of the county's Sitianjian will be there. They are big shots that you don't usually see."

Brother, are you going to the Water and Land Dharma Assembly?

Li Yan's heart shuddered, and for a moment he couldn't figure out whether this was the work of the Yuhua Society, or whether the owner of Fu Ren Tang knew that he was the supervising spiritual official, or whether his elder brother was indeed promoted because of his hard work and diligence.

However, with Liu Yunhe and Taoist Master Zhenxu in charge of the ceremony, there shouldn't be much danger.

He then took out the calligraphy of "Zhen Xie" written by Liu Yunhe, handed it to Li Lin and said:

"Brother, I have a lot of schoolwork, so I won't go. But there is a calligrapher who has come to the school these days. He is very good at calligraphy, so I asked for a piece of calligraphy. You can keep it with you, as it will be a good omen for the occasion."

According to the tradition of Weizi Town and the surrounding villages, if something good happens at home, one must carry something with him to express the joy and avoid the tragedy caused by excessive happiness.

Li Lin unfolded the [Suppress Evil] calligraphy and immediately cheered:

"Great handwriting! My dear, this must be a famous calligrapher, right? Really great handwriting!"

Hu Yue'e on the side also praised it continuously.

These two words are dignified and majestic. You will feel refreshed at a glance. They are naturally good words.

Li Yan smiled and said:

"He's not a famous one. He saw that I was smart and forced it on me. I had no choice but to accept it."

Li Lin laughed and said:

"You are such a clever bastard! I will keep this calligraphy for now and return it to you after the ceremony."

As he said this, he folded it up carefully and put it close to his body.

The food prepared by Hu Yue'e was also served.

Although it was morning, Li Linsheng was promoted to the front hall manager of the pharmacy, and his younger brother was back, so the meal was much more sumptuous than usual.

Needless to say, there are pickled salt duck eggs, scrambled eggs with chili peppers, bacon that is only eaten during the Chinese New Year, and even an old hen that has been stewed all night.

"Your sister-in-law said that you have a heavy workload and it is also a time for you to grow. So I bought an old hen with the reward money I received yesterday. I am now preparing to stew it and send it to you at the school." Li Lin said as he took a bite of the yellow steamed bun.

"Hurry up and eat, little brother. This is your favorite chicken leg." Hu Yue'e picked up a whole chicken leg and put it in Li Yan's bowl and said with a smile.

The meal was very enjoyable. After eating and drinking his fill, Li Yan came out of the house, still savoring the taste of the chicken soup.

Passing by the house of the village head Zhou Boyan, he put the Bone Refining Pill, Ink Disguise and Tongyou Feather together, along with a note, and handed them to a constable to deliver to Niu Ma.

Just after an incense stick of time had passed, I immediately felt a burning medicinal power that penetrated into my bones coming from the void. It was actually transmitted from Niu Ma's Dantian.

This bone-refining pill is stronger than the Qi-condensing pill, but it also has the same overbearing side effects. The pain from strengthening the muscles and bones is not something that can be described to outsiders.

Li Yan understood that Niu Ma was a child who would definitely listen to advice and had already taken the Bone Refining Pill. As for the use of Tongyou Feather and Nimo, he would obviously follow his advice.

Good boy, don’t be pretentious.

At this time, the whole town was decorated with lights and full of joy, waiting for the water and land ceremony tomorrow night.

For small towns far away from big cities, this is definitely a big day, especially for children, as it is a rare day of entertainment.

Walking slowly in Weizi Town, looking at the vendors hawking their wares along the street, the children being brought out to play by their elders, and the leisurely passers-by, Li Yan only felt that the sky was clear, the air was fresh, and the wind was gentle, and the whole Weizi Town became particularly lovely.

Tomorrow night is the day when March Eyes Are Together. I am going to cook roast duck in the oven. If my previous plan fails, such a warm scene may never happen again.

Sacrifice the whole town?
First, it depends on whether I agree or not!
……

In the evening of the second day, three white moon shadows that were about to overlap each other gradually emerged in the sky.

Just wait for tonight, when we will look into the same eyes in March.

The charity cemetery was much quieter than usual; in the distance one could still hear a little noise coming from the town's martial arts arena.

Most of the apprentices in Yizhuang had gone to the martial arts arena to watch the water and land ceremony, leaving only a few people including Zhao Qingshan and four constables including Zhao Mengsheng.

"The 'Guandan' card game invented by Lord Li is really interesting. When I bring it to the county someday, it will surely become popular and become a legend." Zhao Mengsheng complimented Li Yan while playing cards with him.

After tasting the joy of playing mahjong for the first time, he already wished he could spend the whole day at the card table.

"Captain Zhao is right. It still depends on the talent of our Lord Li." Zhao Qingshan said with a smile. He and Hou Qi and others were arranged by Wang Liang to be on duty at the charity cemetery tonight. They were originally very reluctant, but being able to play cards with Li Yan also put their complaints to rest.

Although it’s a pity that I can’t go to see the lively water and land ceremony, it’s nice to be able to play cards.

As he was speaking, he heard the sound of a carriage outside the charity cemetery.

"Who is it?" Everyone thought it was strange and went out to check with the cards in hand.

A horse-drawn carriage drove directly into the courtyard of the charity cemetery, followed by dozens of people in long robes with feather patterns embroidered on their clothes.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the charity cemetery?" Zhao Mengsheng felt something was wrong and immediately went back to get his sword.

But it's too late!

Dozens of people in long robes rushed forward. The people in the front blew suddenly in their palms, and feathers like snowflakes whistled in the sky, trapping Zhao Mengsheng and his companions in an instant.

Before they could react, they had been tied up, their mouths, eyes and ears were sealed, and a black bag was put on their heads. They could only struggle and sob.

"Whoa..." A tall man stopped the horse pulling the cart and jumped off.

Li Yan looked calm and said:
"Master Yang."

The person who came was none other than Yang Jinsong, the bodyguard Liu Yunhe found for him and the owner of Lieyang Boxing Gym. However, at this time, Yang Jinsong obviously had a completely different identity.

After seeing Li Yan, Yang Jinsong suddenly lifted the cloth curtain covering the carriage, revealing a vermilion lacquered coffin with carved patterns.

Then he smiled heartily, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and said:

"Sir, prepare to set off."
