No taboos

Chapter 337 Young Master Zhu is making efforts
If word gets out about the Shanhe Si's occupation of the city, Miao Yu will be scolded to death by his superiors.

Should we seek help from the Exorcism Bureau?
Even if we, the entire Shanhe Division, were to die, we would never bow down to the Quhui Division!
But Miao Yu couldn't let his future brother-in-law die in his own office.

Xu Yuan followed Inspector Zhang to the Shanhe Division at high speed, saying on the way, "Brother Zhang, please give me a brief overview of the situation."

Inspector Zhang sighed and said, "Young Master Zhu meant well..."

Zhu Zhanlei and Zhu Zhanmei had originally planned to return to Luocheng today.

Unfortunately, it happened to be a "no-viewing day," so I couldn't leave.

Zhu Zhanlei never wanted to leave. He had already discussed it with his third sister and asked her to transfer him to Champa to follow his future "eldest brother-in-law".

Zhu Zhanlei was in Luocheng, and Zhu Zhanmei kept a close eye on him, urging him to improve himself.

Champa obviously did not have this problem.

Moreover, Zhu Zhanlei felt that he got along quite well with Miao Yu and Xu Yuan.

Most importantly, Xu Yuan had deposited a thousand taels of silver for him at the White Moon Pavilion, and he hadn't spent it yet!
Therefore, Zhu Zhanlei was very "active" today, keeping an eye on the officers in the yamen and making various precautions against the "day of forbidden viewing".

I need to show my third sister that I will work hard in Champa and that I am useful here.

The Shanhe Si Zhancheng Office also had its own treasury, which stored some "materials".

Although it's not a good product and the quality isn't high, it's best to deal with it on a day like this.

Zhu Zhanlei then personally led his men to plug up all the leaks in the treasury.

After finishing these tasks, Zhu Zhanlei returned to his residence to rest—he and Zhu Zhanmei lived in the same courtyard.

Zhu Zhanmei and her two teams of men spent the entire morning in the courtyard without any incident.

As soon as Zhu Zhanlei returned and reached the door, the door transformed into a strange creature!
It connected to some unknown void.

The courtyard gate had become an empty portal, the kind that only allows entry and not exit...

Fortunately, Zhu Zhanlei had several self-defense items given to him by his family.

After temporarily holding them off, Zhu Zhanmei rushed out and pulled her underling back.

Zhu Zhanlei is now "bitten" by that door.

Miao Yu and Zhu Zhanmei tried everything they could, but they couldn't pull him out.

Miao Yu's first reaction was to ask Xu Yuan for help, even prioritizing it over seeking help from the Grand Canal government.

Even Inspector Zhang secretly thought: If Young Master Zhu hadn't been running around everywhere, busy with all sorts of things... he wouldn't have suffered this calamity.

Xu Yuan thought of Zhu Zhanlei's fate.

Young Master Zhu, you're not suited to doing things seriously.

Let's just focus on the promising career of being a "playboy".

The two walked quickly with their heads down.

I dare not ride a horse these days. What if the horse gets startled and rears up? Wouldn't I just be passively looking up at the sky?
The streets were deserted. After walking through three streets, a layer of white hair appeared on their legs!
The white hair stretched out behind them as the two moved quickly forward, appearing endlessly.

Then it gets tangled and tangled more and more.

Inspector Zhang exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of evil spirit is this?"

Xu Yuan drew his long sword and slashed through the air, sending bolts of lightning flying and burning the white-haired creatures to ashes.

"Slow down," Xu Yuan said helplessly.

The two could only walk at a normal pace. As they walked, they realized something was wrong: a strange "bang bang bang" sound came from behind them.

"There's an evil spirit following us!" Inspector Zhang exclaimed in alarm.

With a ball of fire in his mouth and a sword pellet in his hand, Xu Yuan suddenly turned around...

"Dafu?!"

The silly goose, with its two large webbed feet, followed closely behind the two.

The "slap slap slap" sound was the sound of large flippers slapping on the stone pavement.

"What are you doing here? Go back now!"

Dafu tilted his head and looked at the rice ditch.

I don't think I understood.

Actually, I understand now—Dafu is gloating and wants to watch the show.

It vividly remembered that the first time that kid surnamed Zhu met it, he wanted to eat roast goose!
Xu Yuan couldn't get rid of Dafu, so he could only wave his hand and say, "Fine, you can come along if you want."

It took them almost half an hour to reach the Shanhe Division. "You're finally back..." Two captains guarding the entrance hurriedly welcomed the two men inside.

Upon reaching the backyard, Xu Yuan finally saw Miao Yu and Zhu Zhanmei.

Miao Yu held his sacred seal in his hand, dipped it in cinnabar, and stamped the inscription onto the Xuan paper.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the Xuan paper flew and fell into a doorway.

They didn't dare to stop for a moment; as soon as one was finished, the next one would be right behind them.

These seals, like calligraphy samples by Wenxiu, flew into the door one by one.

Zhu Zhanmei is a seventh-rate divine cultivator.

She released four ghost soldiers.

The strength of the Yin soldiers was clearly beyond her ability to cultivate; they were all arranged by her family.

The "long hair" of the four ghostly soldiers spread out and wrapped around Zhu Zhanlei.

They pulled him back from being sucked into the portal.

Zhu Zhanlei is now stuck inside the door.

Zhu Zhanlei was a seventh-rate cultivator, practicing the "male farming method".

As he stepped into the "courtyard gate," the moment he sensed something was wrong, he threw away all the seeds he was carrying.

Hundreds of seeds grew into a large patch of "crops," all clinging to Zhu Zhanlei.

But more than half of it had already been torn off.

Exhausted and panting, Miao Yu saw Xu Yuan and quickly said, "Quick, help me..."

He didn't dare stop, and the printed characters continued to fly out one after another.

Zhu Zhanmei's pretty face was pale, and beads of sweat slid down her cheeks one by one.

Upon seeing Xu Yuan, she said weakly, "Lord Xu, as long as you can save my brother, my Zhu family will surely repay you handsomely!"

At the same time, she released four powerful Yin soldiers, which greatly depleted her energy. At this moment, she was only able to sustain herself with her willpower.

Despite her constant scolding of her younger brother, her complaints about his lack of ambition, and her frequent comparisons of him to "other people's children," the siblings have grown up together and share a deep bond.

The courtyard gate had clearly separated from the surrounding courtyard wall.

The doorposts, beams, and panels emitted a strange, purplish-black mist, resembling flames.

The two doors clamped Zhu Zhanlei tightly between them.

On the other side of the door, the void was vast and deep, with a large group of ghosts bound together by chains, their beginnings and ends nowhere in sight, walking numbly in a queue.

Every step felt incredibly heavy.

It's as if they might collapse at any moment, and once they fall, they'll never be able to get up again.

The air was thick with gloom, and ghosts lurked in the shadows.

But who knows what kind of world it is!
Xu Yuan thought for a moment and then released Pidan first.

All the strange occurrences that have appeared out of nowhere today are due to the sun overhead, which no one dares to look at.

By first blocking out the sunlight, the "source" of these evil spirits is cut off at its root.

Then Xu Yuan released the tendon pill.

The animal sinew rope wrapped around Zhu Zhanlei.

But as soon as they approached the gate, an incredibly cold and sinister force emanated from the animal sinew rope.

Xu Yuan couldn't help but shudder.

Looking at Zhu Zhanmei's condition—no wonder she's in such poor condition.

Xu Yuan used the fire within his abdomen to dispel the chill, forcefully urging the beast sinew rope to bind Zhu Zhanlei, then exerted all his strength: "Hey—"

The Dragon Transformation Technique unleashes a powerful force comparable to that of a sixth-rate martial artist.

The animal sinew rope was taut and straight.

However, Zhu Zhanlei, stuck inside the door, remained completely still.

Even more so because Xu Yuan pulled with all his might, the animal sinew rope dug into his flesh, causing Zhu Zhanlei to let out a painful cry of "Ah!"
