I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

The Cloud-Swallowing Snake was originally called the Sky-Swallowing Snake. Later, people felt that the snake was only as thick as a thumb, and that such a name was disrespectful, so they changed its name to Cloud-Swallowing Snake. This snake can swallow clouds and exhale mist; with a single breath of cloud, it can swallow something several times its own size, even an elephant.

The proverb "a snake trying to swallow an elephant" originates from this story. Later, weapon refiners discovered that the belly of the Cloud-Swallowing Snake had miraculous effects. A palm-sized pouch made from its belly could hold something the size of a house. The space inside was also known as the Cloud Space.

Later, the Cloud-Swallowing Serpent was killed to extinction by the ancient Qi Refiners. The cloud bags that are still circulating today are all those that were refined and passed down from that time.

Ancient weapon refiners possessed superb crafting skills, and the treasures left behind from the past were of very high quality and extremely difficult to damage. Therefore, although the Cloud-Swallowing Serpent has become extinct, people still have cloud bags to use. It is not particularly rare, but it is still an extremely expensive magic weapon.

Taoist Baishan didn't have a cloud bag.

Seeing how cautious You Tong was, he naturally wanted to take something out as well. However, after searching his body, he didn't find anything of value and finally only pulled out a few gold notes and a bottle of Qi-nourishing pills.

Compared to You Tong, his things were rather meager.

However, He Dong accepted everything without hesitation, summoning a gust of cold wind to sweep the items into his hand and take them all.

She just wanted to escort Niu Er to deliver a message; that was her five thousand gold coins!

Anyone who tries to stop her from making money is an enemy!

She had no interest in fighting You Tong. With a great calamity imminent, she needed to preserve her strength as much as possible. However, she did not expect that the other party would actually take the initiative to apologize.

They offered to deliver the things; I didn't steal them!

He Dong followed Niu Er all the way to the outskirts of Xingsha County. Once there, he was sure the other party was no longer in danger, so He Dong returned to Qinghe Village.

I ran into two strange guys on the road just now. They seemed to be targeting the Jingye Division, and Lin Yi might fall for their tricks too.

Thinking of this, He Dong quickened his pace to return.

The people in the woods were still there, and they seemed to be arguing.

"I wanted to take action directly in the village just now, why didn't you allow it?"

Before He Dong came over to join the gossip, You Tong mocked Bai Shan Dao Ren, laughing at him for being so poor despite his high position, saying that if he hadn't given him a generous gift, the two of them might have died.

Bai Shan Dao Ren was already feeling embarrassed, and now that he was being mocked, he felt even more humiliated. He became somewhat agitated and that's why he said those words.

In Baishan Daoren's view, they could have easily made their move in the village. Guan Buping had only mastered the Four Qi, but he was still a Four-Character Master. In addition, with his Nether Eyes nearing the perfection of the Five Qi, he was more than capable of overwhelming the entire scene.

As a result, You Tong insisted on not taking action in the village. Bai Shan Dao Ren thought that if they took action in the village, they would inevitably start a massacre, and things might get out of hand. So he listened to You Tong's suggestion and chose to set up an ambush on the only road from Qinghe Village to Xingsha County.

Everything had gone smoothly before, and the two were naturally good brothers. Now that the person had run away, not only would the news have leaked, but they would also lose money, lose face, and be mocked by You Tong. How could Bai Shan Dao Ren tolerate this? He immediately started to shift the blame.

You Tong sneered and said, "Senior Bai Shan, you've lived seventy-six years in vain. You can't even see something this simple. That ghost king just now was clearly protecting that constable. Putting aside my reasons for not taking action in the village, do you think you can handle that being?"

While Baishan Daoist was still pondering the matter, He Dong, who had been secretly observing from the shadows, couldn't sit still any longer.

This pretty boy doesn't dare to make a move in the village, it must be because there's something in the village that he's afraid of.

Lin Yi is in the village right now!

"My 63,920 gold coins!"

Immediately, He Dong disregarded the need to conceal his whereabouts and rushed towards Qinghe Village at full speed.

A sudden gust of cold wind swept through, startling birds and beasts into flight. The scene terrified You Tong and the White Mountain Taoist, causing them to tremble in fear.

It turns out, the big shot from before didn't leave...

In Qinghe Village, after Lin Yi and Guan Buping waited at the village chief's house for an hour, the villagers brought over their belongings.

There weren't many people who came to deliver things. Each person had a few things scattered around in their hands: an old hen, a duck, a piece of dried meat, three chicken eggs, four duck eggs, a big fish, some fresh vegetables, and a clay pot of pounded rice. Put together, it was enough to make a good meal.

In addition, knowing that no one in the village chief's family could cook, they even sent an older woman to be the cook.

The villagers of Qinghe Village are not wealthy, and these things were pieced together from various sources.

Actually, today is not a joyous day. Bai Shanjun ate three hunters, who were the pillars of three families. All three families are still grieving.

Lin Yi felt bad seeing that the villagers had to take care of their meals under these circumstances.

Seeing this, Guan Buping felt even more favorably disposed toward Lin Yi, but he was also somewhat worried.

The goodwill was naturally due to Lin Yi's kind heart, but in this dog-eat-dog world, kindness is the greatest weakness.

Besides, they helped Qinghe Village get rid of the tiger problem, which is a life-saving act for the entire village. It's really not excessive to accept a meal from them.

If Lin Yi continues like this, he probably won't go very far in the future.

However, seeing that the cook was about to kill the chicken, Guan Buping still spoke up: "Auntie, there's no need to kill the chicken or duck. We have to keep watch tonight. Making a fish soup and boiling a few eggs will be enough."

The woman's face lit up with joy. The old hen belonged to her family, and she really couldn't bear to kill it.

Zhao Shan understood Guan Buping's good intentions and didn't insist on killing the chicken. He simply smiled at the two of them and expressed his gratitude.

Guan Buping didn't mind and said to Lin Yi, "Little Lin, it's still early. Let's take a walk around the village. If that heretic is still in the village, maybe we can find something."

Lin Yi, unsuspecting, picked up the knife and followed Guan Buping out.

Just as he was about to ask where they were going to investigate next, Guan Buping suddenly pulled out a cloth bag and handed it to him.

As Lin Yi took it, he asked curiously, "What is this?"

"The tiger demon's manhood, which I secretly cut off before, is a very nourishing substance that you should really need."

Lin Yi understood immediately, and his face darkened instantly.

I'm a vigorous young man, I don't need that at all!

But considering his history of not returning home for three months, and the fact that he had refused the daughter that Qin had offered him earlier, Lin Yi suddenly realized that his image might be beyond repair...

Is Chapter 13 content available without paying?

Lin Yi was reluctant to accept the tiger whip, but seeing Guan Buping's eyes clearly saying "I know you need it," he couldn't refuse.

After all, he couldn't explain why a normal man would leave his obviously radiant wife alone at home, so he simply accepted it without question.

As the saying goes, the innocent will remain innocent, and the guilty will act accordingly. His real wife will prove him right in the future!

Silently accepting the items, Lin Yi naturally changed the subject, saying, "Wasn't the tiger demon's corpse stolen? When did you cut it off?"

Guan Buping had been waiting for Lin Yi to say this. He always believed that if a principle was only superficially understood, it wouldn't be easily grasped. Using concrete examples to guide people, however, could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Here, Guan Buping would like to tell another story.

“I have a friend who was a lot like you when he was young. He was naive and kind. He always left opportunities and benefits to others and never tried to gain any benefit for himself.”

Lin Yi: "..."

Am I like that?

Realizing he had such a poor image in Guan Buping's eyes, Lin Yi felt a little guilty and weakly tried to play along, asking, "And what happened to him later?"

"died."

Lin Yi: "..."

This story is so simple, but for Guan Buping, it's not a story at all.

He patted Lin Yi on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Everyone likes a good person like this, but this kind of world can't tolerate such a good person. You only live once, there's no need to live for others."

After saying that, Guan Buping walked away with his hands behind his back. Lin Yi watched his back and was about to say something when Guan Buping suddenly raised his foot and stomped it on the ground a few times, cursing, "Damn it, what bad luck, I stepped in dog poop."

Lin Yi: "..."

He was actually quite handsome just now, but unfortunately it didn't last more than three seconds.

Lin Yi pretended not to see it and simply kept his distance from him.

Qinghe Village is not large; after the two wandered around for a while, the sky darkened.

Just then, they happened to pass by the Qin family's residence, and Lin Yi saw that gloomy willow tree again, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at it.

Seeing this, Guan Buping quietly lowered his voice and asked meaningfully, "Xiao Lin, what do you think of the Qin family?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi quickly lowered his voice as well: "You noticed it too?"

Guan Buping couldn't help but gloat, "I've been a roamer of the martial world for decades, what kind of waves haven't I seen?"

But he had never seen anything as big as the Qin family.

Her clothes and expression made her seem exceptionally innocent, yet they were strangely alluring, making one want to defile her.

However, as a leader, he had to maintain a professional image in front of his subordinates, so he simply nodded slightly and asked, "What did you figure out?"

"She has great skin, a rosy complexion, beautiful eyes, and delicate hands."

Not bad, Xiaolin. I thought you were an honest man, but I didn't expect that even with your wife so busy, you still have time to admire the village belle. Homegrown beauties can't compare to wildflowers!

Lin Yi only said half of what he meant.

He analyzed very seriously: "Qinghe Village is mainly based on farming, supplemented by fishing and woodcutting. Families with male members still have a hard time. Qin has lost her husband and has no means of making a living, yet she doesn't seem to have experienced manual labor. This is very strange."

Good grief, so you thought she was suspicious!

Guan was indignant. Qin Shi had no demonic or ghostly aura. She looked gentle and weak. Her only features were her large breasts and pert buttocks, which gave her a touch of sexiness. How could you know that such a woman hadn't been working elsewhere?

Guan Buping said earnestly, "Some things are better left unsaid even if you see them clearly. Judging from Qin's appearance and figure, she doesn't seem like a woman who can endure loneliness. Everyone in this village is related, so there must be a reason why she has such a bad reputation. Besides, her husband has been missing for so many years. It's not easy for a woman to raise three children alone!"

Lin Yi nodded, agreeing with Guan Buping's words, but he still felt uncomfortable thinking about the clean clothes he was wearing.

Qin must have loved her husband very much, but in order to take care of her children, she had to succumb to reality, and then gradually discovered her physical desires, ultimately leading her to depravity...

Wait, how did I manage to organize my thoughts so smoothly?

Guan Buping continued to urge, "Aren't you kind-hearted? Why don't you go and take care of them tonight? I promise I won't tell your wife."

Lin Yi quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need, I only love my wife."

In fact, Lin Yi had a bit of a moral fastidiousness. Not to mention that Qin's husband was still alive and he was having an affair with her, his moral values ​​wouldn't allow him to do that. In addition, there were countless men behind Qin, and Lin Yi didn't want to get involved with that kind of person.

Seeing that Lin Yi was genuinely refusing rather than just pretending, Guan Buping didn't continue joking. Instead, he followed up by saying, "Then you're in for a shame. For a man, all other pursuits in life are meaningless. The real pursuit should be to sleep with as many women as possible."

Lin Yi: "..."

Brother, what you said is so true.

Although he agreed with Guan Buping's words, Lin Yi still firmly said, "Of all the waters in the world, I only need one sip."

Guan Buping smiled and said, "Although you may not experience many new things in your life, it's good to have a lifelong love."

What I'm most afraid of is your wife...

Even now, Guan Buping still feels that Lin Yi is a man of great integrity.

The two chatted about random things, and since they didn't see anything special during the patrol, they headed towards the village chief's house.
