New and dark light years

Chapter 79 Taoist Opens His Eyes

Li Lin watched the Taoist and the woman separate. He thought for a while and decided to solve the problem with the woman first.

After all, he had seen the Taoist's face and had a way to find him.

But if this woman uses the placenta, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After walking a short distance behind the woman, Li Lin called out to her, "Lady in front, please stay."

The woman turned around, wondering if she was the one being called. When she saw Li Lin, she subconsciously blushed and her heart began to beat faster.

"Young man...why did you call me?"

Li Lin first picked up his white jade token and said, "I am a spirit hunter. Did you meet a Taoist priest?"

The woman nodded slightly.

Li Lin continued, "Hasn't the county government posted a notice recently? There have been thieves disguised as Taoist priests distributing evil objects everywhere... That's the one you have in your hand."

The woman's face turned pale in an instant: "I...I don't know anything about this matter."

"Leave it to me." Li Lin held out his hand: "Then forget about it."

The woman looked at the brown leather in her hand and said, "But that man said..."

"Did he say that drinking the water would make you look like a fairy?"

The woman nodded repeatedly: "How would Xiaolang know?"

"Because you are not the first woman to suffer this." Li Lin said with a smile: "Think about it, if it is really such a good thing, why is it not presented to the nobles, but given to you!"

The woman said with some difficulty: "Maybe I really do have... a connection with the Dao?"

"Haha." Li Lin sneered. He had expected this. "It's alright, you can stay here. But I'm going to the county magistrate's office and report you to the magistrate. I'll accuse you of colluding with thieves and using evil things to harm others. I'll have you imprisoned."

The woman was frightened, threw the afterbirth to the ground, turned around and ran away.

These days, ordinary people are still very afraid of the government, and are even more afraid of being imprisoned.

Li Lin picked up the placenta and went to the county government office.

It happened that Huang Yan was handling matters in court.

Seeing Li Lin coming in, he asked gently, "Li Xunshu, what brings you to the county government office?"

Generally, spirit hunters do not need to come to the county government office to work. Most of the time they stay in their own "territory" and occasionally go out to do some "miscellaneous tasks".

Regarding the issue of spirit hunters taking external orders to make money, the government holds a neutral attitude, neither supporting nor opposing it.

After all, if spirit hunters are not allowed to make money, the government will have to cover the expenses in this regard.

That's not a small amount of money.

"I saw the Taoist priest." Li Lin showed Huang Yan the afterbirth. "He gave it to a woman, and then I intercepted it."

"Where is that Taoist?" Huang Yan's expression turned serious.

Li Lin shook his head and said, "I think saving that woman's life is more important, so I'll prioritize dealing with the afterbirth. But I have a way to find him."

"You did very well." Huang Yan smiled and nodded. "Next, do you need me to send someone to secretly protect that woman?"

"I don't think so. The Taoist probably doesn't know that woman. He's probably after the 'evil spirit' of the afterbirth."

Huang Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave the matter to you spirit hunters. If you need support from the local army, feel free to ask me."

"Thank you, Lord County."

Huang Yan stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "Come to my house more often if you have nothing to do. Also...if time permits, send over a few more bottles of strengthening pills."

"Okay!" Li Lin clasped his fists.

Afterwards, Li Lin came to the "barracks" of the county government office.

Shi Dutou was on duty there. When he saw Li Lin, he clasped his fists and asked, "Li Xunshu, I'm a rare guest. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I'd like to ask you to send a few yamen runners to inform Su Huafang, Bai Liwei, Zhao Hao and the other three patrol officers."

"It's a simple matter." Shi Dutou agreed with a smile.

He didn't want to, and didn't dare, make things difficult for Li Lin.

Not to mention his status as a tour guide, the fact that the county magistrate valued Li Lin was already well-known in the county government. There were even rumors that the county magistrate's eldest daughter had appeared one morning from Li Lin's new home.

Tsk tsk, if this rumor is true, then the meaning is completely different.

Everyone knows that in two or three years, the county magistrate will be promoted to the prefect of Tianjin.

Li Lin waited in the barracks for more than an hour, and then Su Huafang, Zhao Hao and Bai Liwei arrived one after another.

After everyone gathered, Li Lin took the three of them out of the barracks and came to the backyard of the county government office.

"What happened that requires calling the three of us here?" Zhao Hao asked curiously.

Su Huafang and Bai Liwei also looked at Li Lin curiously.

Li Lin said, "I saw the Taoist priest."

The three of them were all stunned.

They naturally knew what kind of person Li Lin was talking about as a 'Taoist'.

"Do you know where he is?" Su Huafang asked.

"No, but I saw his face."

Li Lin took out a stack of paper figures from his clothes and scattered them on the ground.

These paper figures jumped and skipped, or left the backyard in strange ways.

Zhao Hao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Century Hunter Li really still has a childlike heart."

The other two also tried to hold back their laughter.

Li Lin was helpless. He considered himself to be calm and composed, so how come the paper figures he made were so weird?

This must be a problem with the technique, and has nothing to do with me.

The three of them chatted for a while, about two incense sticks of time, then Li Lin's expression became serious and he stood up: "Found it."

The four of them set off at the same time, running in the same direction.

After half an hour, they tracked them to a small woods, which was already on the outskirts of the county town.

But it is still within the range of control of the Four Wonderful True Lords.

Li Lin looked at the sky and it was already evening.

He took a few steps forward and heard an angry voice coming from the tree: "Ah, so annoying, why are there so many?"

The four of them looked at each other and dispersed.

Then they saw a Taoist priest "chasing down" those little paper figures.

These little paper figures were very smart. They always kept a sufficient distance from the Taoist priest. When the Taoist priest came over, they immediately raised their hands and ran away.

The other paper figures hid behind trees or bushes, and then poked out a pair of watery big eyes and stared at the Taoist priest.

The four continued to approach. At this moment, the Taoist suddenly became alert and looked over: "Who dares to spy on me?"

Since they were discovered, Su Huafang, Bai Liwei and Zhao Hao walked out.

Li Lin sneaked away.

However, the stealth technique that had always worked in the past was no longer effective.

The Taoist suddenly looked towards where he was. "There's still someone hiding... Invisibility? A Taoist secret technique. Do you think I can't sense it? You're showing off your skills in front of an expert. How ridiculous!"

A mocking look appeared on the Taoist's face, and he quickly formed seals with his hands.

"The Big Dipper turns upside down to cook human nature, the underworld lends me a glimpse of the scab in the sky, open!"

After the Taoist finished chanting the spell, he touched his forehead with his left hand. Suddenly, a crack appeared on that spot, and a vertical eye grew out of it.

The pupils of these eyes were red, with a particularly evil look, and they were staring in the direction of Li Lin.

Being stared at by this thing, Li Lin felt uncomfortable all over.

"So you're a pretty boy!" The Taoist laughed sinisterly. "Those paper figures beside you are your work, right?"
