New and dark light years

Chapter 29 Return to the County
Li Lin didn't want anyone to know that he had the Shengxi Pills.

So the action was done very secretly.

When the fat man saw that Xu Saifeng was dead, he activated the white jade token and escaped with a red light.

At the same time, he also took away a soul-summoning banner.

The formation was broken immediately.

Bai Bufan wanted to chase after him and take back the Soul Summoning Banner, but his uncle stopped him and shook his head at him: "Don't chase after a desperate enemy."

Then he looked at Li Lin beside him and said gratefully, "Thank you very much, Li Xunshu, for saving my life. Our Bai family will always remember this and will repay you handsomely."

Li Lin waved his hand.

It's not that he was pretending to be aloof, but he was feeling hot and cold at the moment, and it was very uncomfortable. If he opened his mouth to speak, his voice would definitely be affected, and others would notice something was wrong.

He pretended to be greedy for money, bent down, and took out a lot of silver bills from Xu Saifeng's body. He then went to the horse's bag and took out some red flags and soul-calling banners.

Then there is nothing of value left.

Pity!
It seems that not everyone has the habit of carrying secret manuals with them.

It took him quite some time to complete all this, and by then most of the coldness in his body had dissipated, and he felt much more comfortable.

It was time to talk. Li Lin looked at Bai Liwei and asked, "Senior Bai, what should we do next?"

"Wait!" Bai Liwei said, looking at the formation with a hole in it. "It's a wild and treacherous world out there now. We have no chance of survival unless we gather together and use our Qi and blood to temporarily scare off the evil spirits. We can also wait for the other colleagues to come back."

He looked at the three bodies lying nearby and said, "What a pity for my colleagues Wang Chao, Ma Si'en, and Yuan Li."

Li Lin also sighed.

Before coming, he had a feeling that this mission might be troublesome, but he didn't expect it to be so troublesome.

"Is your injury serious?" Li Lin asked.

"Skin injuries." Bai Liwei laughed: "I just tricked them."

He is indeed a veteran... Li Lin estimated that even if he didn't suddenly appear, Bai Liwei had a trump card to get out alive.

While the two were chatting, there were slight footsteps outside. The three turned their heads and saw an acquaintance running back.

"Great, you're still here. It's not easy to get rid of that dog-skin plaster." The man's name is Cai Wei, also a middle-aged spirit hunter. He has great leg skills and runs very fast.

When he came back and saw the bodies of Ma Sien and others, his mood changed from surprise to sadness.

Then, upon seeing Xu Saifeng's body, his expression became somewhat strange: "White Tiger Flip Stand?"

Li Lin nodded.

"That's cruel, too cruel." The man bowed to Li Lin and said, "Brother Li, please don't use this trick on the brothers in the future. Please."

In fact, some experienced people know that the real killer move of the White Tiger Flipping Frame is not the "White Tiger Carrying Corpse" but the White Tiger Shattering Pill Attack.

However, not many people have mastered this move, and not many are willing to practice it.

Not long after, two more colleagues came running back.

The white jade plates on their bodies were all glowing red. If they didn't run back, they could only hold on for half an hour at most before they were lost in the bizarre illusion, and their flesh and blood would be sucked away, leaving them with only a pile of bones.

There were six people at this time... The red light emitted by the white jade plate gathered together, barely able to resist the invisible and increasingly weird light outside.

They waited for another half an hour, and Bai Liwei said, "I don't think the rest of us will be able to come back. We have to leave now. If we don't leave now... even if the Huanggui don't gather here, the enemy might come. Let's go back to the county directly. The next matter involves other officials, which is beyond the six of us to handle. Let's leave it to the county magistrate to deal with. What do you think?"

Everyone naturally nodded in agreement. At this time, returning alive was the best choice.

They didn't want to stay in this damn place any longer.

Bai Bufan asked, "Should we collect the remains of these three seniors?"

Bai Liwei shook his head and said, "It's too late, let's go."

After saying that, the six of them mounted their horses and left.

For the rest of the journey, the six people rested during the day and traveled at night.

There's no way... I've become a frightened bird. During the day, I dare to close my eyes and rest for a while, but at night I dare not relax at all.

Because even if the six people's qi and blood were combined, they could not completely stop Huang Gui. They rode at full speed all the way, and after two nights and one day, they finally returned to the county town.

The six people were covered in dust and looked extremely embarrassed. When they saw the county town gate, they finally felt relieved that they had survived the disaster.

Half an hour later, six people were sitting in the backyard of the county government office, and in front of them was the county magistrate Huang Yan, who was pacing back and forth.

He seemed very anxious.

After hearing the report, his face darkened. "Sixteen went, and only six returned. The military town was destroyed. The Qin family of Yuecheng was truly audacious."

No one answered him, because most spirit hunters did not understand the twists and turns of officialdom.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Huang Yan sighed deeply. "Next, I will report this matter to the court. You can go back and rest first."

The spirit hunters all stood up and left. No one spoke because they had no intention of doing so.

Li Lin met Huang Qi at the gate of the county government office.

The other party bowed casually and said, "Brother Kunge, I have prepared tea and wine in the backyard of my home and am waiting for you."

"I want to go back and rest first..."

"This is about the inside story of your trip to Bobai Military Town. Don't you want to hear it?"

Li Lin was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

They soon arrived at the backyard of the Huang Mansion. Apart from the two of them, there was no one else present. I guess Huang Qi had given these instructions specifically.

"In fact, on the third day after you set out, my father already knew the general situation."

Li Lin narrowed his eyes slightly: "So fast!"

"Our Huang family does have some connections." Huang Qi sighed softly, then said, "How much do you know about the Qin family in Yuecheng?"

"I have no idea."

Huang Qi laughed. He admired Li Lin's style of saying yes or no.

Unlike some people who pretend to know everything just to save face.

"The land around Yuecheng is fertile, with numerous rivers and rice harvested three times a year. It's the granary and commercial hub of Great Qi. Its annual tax revenue is equivalent to that of five major cities in the north." Huang Qi sighed and said, "When people become extremely wealthy, they crave power, and with power, they seek ways to hide their power... In fact, many people knew that the Qin family of Yuecheng was plotting a rebellion; after all, truth cannot be hidden. But we didn't expect them to be so audacious, not only killing the entire military garrison but also destroying the altar of the True Lord."

"Won't the imperial court do anything about such arrogance?"

"The Central Plains is in ruins, and the Di people in the north are harassing the border. The imperial court is no longer able to control it." Huang Qi said solemnly, "Our city of Jin is relatively well off. Generally speaking, the people live and work in peace and contentment. Outside of Jin, you can see what it means to be in dire straits."

Li Lin was silent. He really didn't know the situation outside Tianjin.

After all, there is no such thing as the 'Internet' in this world.

"This is also the reason why that noble man is working so hard. He wants to revive the country." Huang Qi said with a smile, "I really hope that Brother Kunge will join us in helping the declining Great Xia."

Li Lin shook his head slightly. "We'll talk about this later. Right now, I want to know: were the over one hundred lives lost in the military town and the eight colleagues killed in vain?"

"How is that possible!" Huang Qi laughed. "My father is the county magistrate after all... Bobai Town is under his jurisdiction. He will seek justice for those people."

"Then what can we soul hunters do?"

Li Lin just couldn't swallow his anger now.

Not only for those colleagues who died in vain, but also for myself.

"In a few days, the Demon Exorcism Department will send someone down." Huang Qi opened his fan with a swish. "They'll rebuild the altar for the Bobai Military Town and send a True Lord to garrison there. When the time comes, you can go with them. Good things will happen."

Do you want to go to Bobai Town again?
Li Lin was reluctant.

As if he could see Li Lin's reluctance, Huang Qi smiled and whispered, "There's a member of my family in the Demon Exorcism Department. If you want to learn the spirit-hunting technique, you can find him."

After saying that, Huang Qi blinked gently.

Li Lin was not excited, but was silent for a while and asked, "What do I have to pay?"

The magic technique is more precious than the spirit control technique. In this era, even life tips like 'the right temperature for frying tofu' are passed down to men and not women. I am not someone else's son, so why should they teach me!

There must be a reason.
