This god is really evil

Chapter 99 The Holy Son is truly a blessing to our Holy Church
"Yun'er, are you feeling better?" Xiao Chu asked Duan Zhengyun who was lying on the bed in a side room of Xuan Zhengyuan.

Duan Zhengyun quickly struggled to get up and said to Xiao Chucai:
"Master, I'm much better now. Most of the injuries are superficial. I just broke two ribs and my blood circulation is blocked. Everything else is fine. I'll be fine in a few days."

Xiao Chucai nodded slightly, smiling, and said slowly:
"That's good. You let the leader of the Yuhua Society go, so you should be punished. But since you are injured, let's put it aside for now and wait until you recover... More than a dozen extermination riders died under your command. If this gets to the county, even your master won't be able to protect you..."

As he said this, he changed the subject, smiled, patted Niu Ma who was standing beside him, and laughed:
"Luckily, we have your junior brother, who managed to capture the two priests of the Yuhua Society, Black Feather and White Feather. They are the only high-ranking officials left in the Yuhua Society. The one you let go is probably just a Yu Master. With these two factors, our Xuanzheng Academy has won a great victory in clearing out the Yuhua monsters."

Niu Ma was startled and said in a low voice:

"Master, those two said they were just feather masters of the Feathering Society, not priests..."

Xiao Chucai laughed and said:

"You fool, they are just bullying you because you are young. How could such a powerful person be just a feather master? I have already asked them thoroughly, and they told the truth. It is indeed the chief wine maker. They also handed over the names of dozens of feathered monsters. From now on, don't mention the words of the feather master again. Do you understand?"

The tone of his last sentence suddenly dropped, becoming stern in an instant.

Niu Ma nodded and said:
"I understand, Master."

Those two feather masters had been tortured by Xiao Chucai, beaten to a bloody mess and mentally disturbed. If they were said to be the chief wine officers, then they were naturally the chief wine officers.

Only at this moment did Niu Ma truly witness the practices of the Xuan Zheng Yuan of Qinghe County.

Duan Zhengyun, who was lying on the bed, also forced himself to clasp his fists and smiled at Niu Ma:
"Thank you, Junior Brother. If it weren't for you, I would have made a serious mistake..."

Niu Ma clasped his fists and said:
"You're welcome, big brother."

Xiao Chucai then gave Duan Zhengyun a bottle of pills and said:

"Yun'er, take good care of your injuries. When you are well, you will celebrate with your junior brother. Your junior brother is a natural talent. With two consecutive achievements, he may be qualified to join the Spiritual Martial Guard. You must also strive to do well."

Duan Zhengyun immediately clasped his fists and said:

"Yes!"

He lowered his head and spoke in a respectful tone, but his eyes were full of sinister intent.

Xiao Chucai didn't care about all this. He took Niu Ma out of the room and headed towards the residence of the chief of Xuanzhengyuan.

After encouraging Niu Ma a few more times, Xiao Chu entered his yard, closed the door, and said with a smile:

"Master Qiande, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. My eldest disciple was injured by a feathered demon. I'm going to give him some elixirs and comfort him."

Then he saw a middle-aged man in a long robe standing in his yard.

This middle-aged man had no hair or eyebrows, his head was like a bald boiled egg, and he was wearing a plain gray robe.

Spotless.

His expression was calm, and when he heard Xiao Chucai's words, he couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Xiao Yuanzheng loves his disciples so much, no wonder he can refine such a good pill. But this disciple named Duan doesn't seem to have any talent. He is over 30 years old and has barely reached the muscle and bone stage, right?"

Xiao Chucai's face darkened, and murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes. He said slowly:

"Yun'er has been with me since childhood. For more than 20 years, we have been like father and son. He is also a dull person and is not even qualified to be a medicine dregs. Master Qiande, please think it over carefully."

The bald man immediately laughed and said:
"It seems that Dean Xiao really loves this disciple, otherwise there would not be such a misunderstanding. Please rest assured, this Duan Lang is just a mediocre person and cannot make human pills... Among all your disciples, only the second disciple back then was barely useful... Let's talk about this natural choice."

This bald man is the abbot of Bushan Temple, one of the five major temples in Qinghe County.

The Immortal of No Randomness requires being spotless, so the monks who worship the Immortal of No Randomness pluck out all the hair on their bodies one by one. They cannot shave, they can only pluck, in order to please the god.

Xiao Chu stared at the bald man in front of him for a moment, then laughed again and said:
"Hahaha, good! Since Master Qiande is already prepared, then everything is simple. This natural born chosen one is now serving as the supervisor in the Sitianjian and is Liu Yunhe's student."

"Liu Yunhe has been running around the court these days, colluding with his cronies, hoping to overturn the Huzhou extermination case with the so-called evidence he has, slander the prime minister, and disrupt the government. He can't come back anytime soon. Even if he wants to come back, there will be people who will hold him back."

"The entire Sitianjian is now supported by Chongyun who practices spiritual martial arts. Liu Yunhe's other disciple Aole worships the Master of All Spirits, but it is said that his Taoism has been dusty recently. It was useless to pray at the Temple of All Spirits. He is already a useless person, so there is no need to worry about him."

"Master Qiande only needs to find an opportunity to convert Li Yan during the Five Gods Festival and lead him into the Unpolluted Temple, and everything will be fine. The laws of Da Qi are here, and no one can stop others from converting to the Five Great Gods. Even if Liu Yunhe comes back, it will be too late."

Qian De nodded slightly and said:
"That's right, so I won't ruin the governor's plan... Over the years, I've also been chosen by several gods. Being able to speak a complete sentence is already a natural treasure. Being able to enter the Sitianjian as a spiritual official is simply unheard of. It's really a treasure... The immortal furnace is about to be opened. Doesn't Lord Xiao have people to save and pills to make?"

Xiao Chucai narrowed his eyes and did not answer...

……

"What? Baiyu and Heiyu were both caught!?" The high priest Yu Pianran showed an expression of disbelief, staggered, and almost fell down again.

Li Yan nodded solemnly and said:
"The Xuanzhengyuan has issued a notice, arresting Baiyu and Heiyu Jijiu of Yuhua Society, saying that they will be executed by slow slicing soon."

What he said was indeed the truth. The Xuanzhengyuan had achieved such an achievement that they wanted to publicize it to the entire Qinghe County. Several imperial guards from the Xuanzhengyuan ran around the county town for a whole day holding gongs just to report this "great achievement."

Xiao Chucai had never changed his bad habit of taking credit for his achievements and falsely reporting his achievements, which saved him a lot of trouble. After receiving Li Yan's affirmative answer, Yu Pianran couldn't help but feel sad, tears welled up again, and she whispered:

"Auntie Hei..."

The Heiyu Jijiu was her father's generation. He and Chiyu had followed her father to be Jijiu very early on. It could be said that he had watched her grow up. Thinking that Heiyu might suffer the punishment of slow slicing, Yu Pianran felt real grief in her heart.

Then she raised her head suddenly, her eyes became much more resolute, and said to Li Yan:
"Aunt Hei is easy to deal with, but Bai Yu may not be able to withstand the torture of the Xuanzhengyuan and give up your identity. Then you can't go back to the Sitianjian anymore. It's not that safe here... Please leave with me immediately, Saint Son!"

As he spoke, he felt dizzy and seemed to become even weaker.

Li Yan shook his head and said to Yu Pianran solemnly:
"Grand Priest, please don't worry about me. My entry into the Imperial Observatory is a rare opportunity for the Holy Church and I can't give it up so easily. What's more, the Grand Priest is too weak now and needs my full support. After all, Grand Priest Baiyu is also a believer of God and will not betray God so easily, otherwise he will not be able to escape God's punishment."

"I am powerless, and the revival of the Holy Church depends entirely on the High Priest. These days I discovered that there is a box in the study of the Astronomical Observer Liu Yunhe, which he keeps with great care. There must be some secret treasure or elixir in it. The Holy Church is in danger now and needs such a secret treasure. Even if I leave, I must get this thing first and send it to the High Priest before I leave."

At this point, Li Yan pushed the two dry biscuits and said to Yu Pianran with a smile:
"High Priest, please eat something quickly. You and I are now tied to the same rope. The fate of the Holy Religion is imminent. How can you care about your own safety? Don't think too much."

Yu Pianran was so angry, cold and hungry that she felt dizzy. She was so moved by Li Yan's words that tears started to flow again. She said:
"I...I have been in tears these past few days, please don't be offended, Holy Son..."

As he said this, he picked up a dry biscuit and tore off a piece of it. He felt that the biscuit was so dry and tough that it was about to pull his teeth out.

But at this moment, when I held the dry biscuit in my mouth and chewed it hard, mixed with tears, it had an indescribable sweetness of wheat.

Taking another bite of the salty pickles, I felt that it was the most delicious thing I had ever tasted.

It was just too cold in this dilapidated temple, and Yu Pianran was shivering all over.

Li Yan quickly pretended to be enlightened, pulled out a blanket from his arms, shook it open, and helped Yu Pianran put it on, saying:
"I also brought a blanket and a robe. I almost forgot that this robe is my old one. High Priest, please don't despise it."

There was still a little bit of Li Yan's body temperature on the blanket. Yu Pianran wrapped herself in the blanket and held Li Yan's old robe in her arms. She just felt very warm and extremely satisfied.

Her original ambition was to cultivate to become a god, ascend to heaven, and go to the temple of Yuhua Zhenjun. But now she found that this blanket was enough to satisfy her.

With tears in her eyes, she said to Li Yan:

"Thank you, Holy Son. You are truly a blessing to our Holy Religion."

Li Yan said in a deep voice:
"High Priest, I have to go now. If I don't come to look for you tomorrow, you must leave immediately. The farther away the better. Never come back to Qinghe County again."

Having said that, he turned and walked out.

At this moment, the high priest Yu said in a trembling voice:

"Son……"

Li Yan turned around and asked:

"High Priest?"

Yu Pianran sighed and said:

"Can I...can I hug you?"

Li Yan grinned and said:

"High Priest, you are joking. This is all for the safety of the Holy Church. How can we be sentimental? High Priest, please rest assured. I will try my best to get the secret medicine and send it to you!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, smiled brilliantly, and walked out of the main hall of the dilapidated temple with a nonchalant attitude, like a warrior about to be executed.

Yu Pianran was so moved that tears started to flow again. She felt that she had never been so vulnerable. At the same time, she prayed desperately in her heart, asking Yuhua Zhenjun to show up and save the Holy Church from the dire straits.

But she was also shaken in her heart. The Yuhua Society had already reached such a state, but the Yuhua True God had never responded at all. Could it be that they had really been abandoned? Or, perhaps, something had happened to the True God?
I just hope that everything goes well for the Holy Son, and that he can survive in that dangerous place, and not let Bai Yu reveal his identity...

Yu Pianran was filled with thoughts. She put on Li Yan's clothes, wrapped herself in the blanket, and lay on the beam, praying silently.

Although these clothes and blankets are still not enough to completely keep out the cold, they are much better than the previous few days.

What's more, she still had a dry biscuit and half a piece of pickled vegetable, enough to sustain her for another day.

Thanks to Li Yan, I hope he is doing well...

At the same time, Li Yan had already arrived outside the dilapidated temple and called two constables to get on the carriage.

Zhang Jun said curiously:
"Master Xiao Li, you are not having a banquet outside today?"

Li Yan rubbed his hands and warmed them on the small stove in the carriage, saying:
"This melting snow is much colder than the falling snow. It's too cold today. Let's go back to the city quickly and have a table of wine and food in Tongqing Tower. Then listen to some music and warm up your body!"
