You cut yourself just to watch us drop our little pearls?

Wen Chun, who was at the center of the formation, instantly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the golden light that originally filled the formation gradually dimmed. At the same time, the Buddhist beads on Ruan Ziwen's chest also became dimmer.

"Weak Taoists, what can you use to fight me? You make me sick just like the Taoists of the Five Mountains! Today, bury you all here!"

"Kaka...kaka..."

The magic circle that lost the support of the Buddhist beads gradually began to crack. They... couldn't hold on any longer!

"boom!!"

At this moment, a gunshot like thunder came from a distance!

A bullet as big as a baby's arm rushed towards the Ghost King in the air! And before the Ghost King could react, it hit her in the face!

"boom!!!"

The moment the bullet engraved with thunder magic came into contact with the ghost energy of the Ghost King, the most yang and powerful thunder immediately fell from the sky, and the purple lightning completely enveloped the Ghost King's body with the force of sweeping in all directions!

The Ghost King, whose body was already injured by the forceful attack on the righteous energy, had no way to withstand the attack. His figure, which was originally suspended in the air, immediately flew backwards and turned into a puff of red smoke and dissipated...

"Want to chase?"

Behind Aunt Zhang, a Taoist priest with a goatee and wearing a purple robe and holding a copper coin sword asked her.

"Don't chase a desperate enemy. He gave up because he saw that we outnumbered him. The torpedo bomb he fired just now couldn't cause any damage to him. If we force him to retreat, we will have achieved our goal."

Aunt Zhang looked in the direction where the ghost king disappeared with a far-reaching gaze.

Through their exploration during this period, they knew that there must be more than one Ghost King among these ghosts. If they pursued them rashly, they would end up in an ambush by many Ghost Kings, and the result would be more trouble than gain.

The most urgent task now is to go and take a look at those team members.

"Okay, but... I sense a familiar aura."

The Taoist priest with a goatee sniffed, looking thoughtful.

"It's better not to use your nose to smell it. Those little guys must be seriously injured. You will need to take care of their treatment later."

Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes at the Taoist priest with a goatee in annoyance.

Chapter 29 Taoist Priests of the Five Mountains

The Taoist Priest of the Five Mountains, a genius unprecedented in history since the birth of Taoism!

Not only did he unify all Taoist teachings at the age of thirty, he also made many innovations on top of the existing Taoist teachings. He himself was also very creative. He separated talismans from paper, and it was he who pioneered the practice of engraving talismans on instruments.

Of course, the success rate back then was very low, and only the Taoist priests in purple robes could successfully engrave it.

Let's get back to the point. If nothing unexpected happened, then something unexpected happened.

The green ghost has experienced a thousand years by now, and his Taoism has reached a very terrifying stage. Among the people in the mortal world, only the Taoist of the Five Mountains can compete with him!

But at this time, Wuyue Taoist had not known about the existence of this green ghost. If he had not accidentally discovered something wrong with one of the small countries while traveling around the countries...

And that small country was where Xia Hai City is now.

The whole country, from top to bottom, does not believe in Taoism or Buddhism, but worships Qingxian...

Under the blessing of the Green Fairy, this small country is prosperous, the people's food, clothing and daily necessities are all guaranteed, the people have surplus grain, the officials have money and grain, and it is a scene of great harmony.

From this perspective, Qingxian seems to be a qualified good fairy, but unfortunately... she is not.

Not only is she not a fairy, she is also a ghost!

She feeds on both incense and popularity!

On the surface, the small country seemed to be peaceful and prosperous.

But secretly, the fortune of the entire small country was almost completely sucked away by that "Qingxian", and she was also secretly cultivating her own power...a ghost power that belonged only to her!

The king of the small country and his queen were one of her ghost generals! The generals who conquered the small country were also her ghost generals. She also used the life span of the entire small country's people to gild herself into an immortal body.

Of course, even if a green ghost is given an immortal body, it will not become a ghost immortal in the end, but instead become a weird ghost half-immortal.

Although both the words "ghost immortal" are included, the "half" does not mean half-step ghost immortal.

It's neither fish nor fowl, like an immortal but not an immortal, like a ghost but not a ghost.

The green ghost also realized this, and wanted to sacrifice a country in order to promote himself to a true ghost fairy!

However, it happened that the Taoist of Wuyue traveled to this small country and realized the abnormality of this small country.

The following story is a bit abstract...

The Taoist priests of the Five Mountains came to the "Ghost Kingdom" and staged a... deep'"

A legendary story of one man destroying an entire country.

With one man and a sword, he cleaned up this small country that had been "ghostified" completely and captured the ghost half-immortal. Based on the righteous spirit and using the Five Mountains as a formation, he sealed it in the small country.

The lake in the center of the city is the seal of Zhongyue in the Five Mountains formation. Zhongyue is earth, and earth controls water. Putting it in the lake will make the seal even more powerful!

However, after sealing the Green Ghost, the Taoist Wu Yue's innate righteousness was also exhausted. He knew that he was powerless to save the situation, so he turned the last wisp of innate energy into a flying talisman, and handed it to the major sects, asking them to delete any records about him.

The Green Ghost's bewitching power is too strong, and a half-immortal ghost can bring too many things. Once people know about it, it is likely to set off another storm.

Therefore, the Taoist of Wuyue did not explain the reason, but just disappeared quietly in the world.

Legends about him circulated for hundreds of years, but were eventually no longer mentioned and gradually forgotten.

Having said that, the descendants of the Five Mountains Taoist priest did continue in the end, but they were few and far between and did not make a significant contribution.

In modern times, only one bloodline is still passed down.

And Ruan Ziwen... is the last descendant of the bloodline!

It's fate, it's sad...

No wonder Ruan Ziwen has such a terrifying talent.

After knowing what happened in the past and what would happen in the future, Wen Chun knew that he should make some changes.

Are you kidding? Is he the kind of person who would follow the original plot?

If the original plot had been followed, it would have been a be ending!

Feeling that his body had almost recovered, Wen Chun decisively sat up from the bed, pressed the nurse's bell beside him, and went through the discharge procedures.

A team member lying on the bed next to him looked at Wen Chun in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost...

Well, seeing ghosts is a common occurrence, so it’s not that surprising.

But this team leader's body... isn't it a little too strong? He was shocked twice by the ghost king at the center of the formation! How come he was discharged from the hospital as if nothing had happened?

……

Xiahai City Police Department.

The old director looked at the people in front of him who were wearing all kinds of clothes, silently wiped the cold sweat running down his forehead, picked up the water glass with trembling hands, but the water in the glass wet his collar.

What kind of scenes has the old director not seen in his life?

Well, he had never seen such a scene before!

What is this? Is this still a police station? Is this a comic convention held by those young people?

That’s not right. These big guys in front of him look older than him. Is this some kind of senior citizen university cosplay party?

If his superiors hadn't notified him, he really wouldn't have believed that these were their reinforcements!

At this time, on the other side of the hall.

An old Taoist priest with white eyebrows and beard and dressed in grey linen clothes bowed to the eminent monk in robes in front of him.

"Abbot Li, it has been thirty years since we last met."

"Alas, yes, time is merciless, that black beard has finally turned into white hair..."

Abbot Li sighed and shook his head, his wrinkled face showing all the vicissitudes of life.

"In the beginning, you and I had many disputes over Taoism and Buddhism, but in the end, we still stood together and paved the way for the younger generation."

"Now that I think about it, there's actually not that much to fight for. It's just an empty reputation."

……

As soon as Wen Chun walked into the police station, the old sheriff called him over with a pleading look.

When the old sheriff saw Wen Chun, he felt like he had seen a savior, and the depressed feeling in his heart suddenly became relieved.

"Xiao Chun, you are finally here. These masters are here to see you. Go and meet them!"

Before Wen Chun could figure out what was happening, the old sheriff pushed him directly in front of the masters. When Wen Chun turned around, the old sheriff seemed to have found the feeling of being a young policeman. He stepped on the oil and ran out of the police station quickly.

"..."

The originally noisy hall suddenly became silent. Wen Chun only felt countless kind eyes on him. When he turned around, he saw a group of old men and women dressed in various Taoist robes, monk's clothes, cassocks and ordinary clothes looking at him.

Wen Chun suddenly felt like a ghost that was about to be converted...

Chapter 30 Inventor, Taoist Master Zhang

Due to the particularity of the problems in Xiahai City and the staffing problem of the Investigation Bureau, the higher-ups issued an "extermination order" to sects across the country through their "connections", calling on forces from all over the country that had not been included in the Abnormal Investigation Bureau to go to Xiahai City for support.

This call gathered 5,000 "reinforcements" of varying strengths within one day.

Some of them are Taoists from the Five Mountains and Three Mountains, some are hermits, there are also Buddhist disciples and some other forces.

Anyway, they can all kill and catch ghosts. Although they are not included in the Bureau of Anomalous Investigation, they are actually within the national management system. They even have special licenses, which is enough to show their formality.

Under their arrangement, the entire Xiahai City Police Station has become the headquarters of the "Famous and Righteous". Wen Chun looked at the police station from afar and could even see golden light flashing in the sky above the police station...

In this cloudy Xiahai City, it might be a little too obvious.

After settling the division of labor among these big guys, Wen Chun had almost memorized the etiquette of each sect.

There are many big guys among these who can compete with qualified purple-robed Taoist priests. The only difference is that one has a certificate and the other does not.

With their support, the pressure on Xiahai City has been significantly reduced. However, recently, citizens of Xiahai City often see some people in "strange costumes" acting mysteriously on the streets. The Public Security Bureau received no less than a hundred reports of "monks swindling people on the streets" in one day.

In the end, it was Wen Chun who came up with the cover of a "religious exchange conference", which reduced the number of reports.

After dealing with this little episode, Wen Chun turned his attention to the main topic.

After the battle at Chengxin Lake, Ruan Ziwen began to doubt himself. The words spoken by the monk in the small mountain temple kept echoing in his mind, especially the two incense sticks... It seemed as if they were hinting at something...

But he knew nothing about it.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a slight explosion sound came from Ruan Ziwen's hand!

The talisman bullet that he was carving in his hand was slightly offset due to his distraction, and the bullet exploded.

At the moment the bullet exploded, golden light appeared on Ruan Ziwen's body again, and the Buddhist beads on his chest flashed again, helping him to block the accident.

"..."

He took the Buddhist beads off his chest. In his palm, the beads were round and shiny, but ordinary.

What secrets are hidden behind this bead?

"Remember to concentrate when engraving a weapon. The Buddhist beads can save you many times, but they can't save you forever."

Wen Chun walked behind Ruan Ziwen, looked over his shoulder and at the Buddhist beads in his hand.

"Officer Wen Chun..."

His eyes were a little confused, he didn't know what this Buddhist bead meant to him.

"Well, carve well, you will become a very good Taoist priest."

Wen Chun encouraged Ruan Ziwen, saying that in him... perhaps the image of the Taoist of Wuyue who saved the world with his own strength two thousand years ago could be reproduced.

If Xia Hai City is not redeemed, then the entire China will be shrouded in the shadow of the ghost fairy.

"hope so……"

He smiled bitterly and became a Taoist priest... If it were in the past, he would have thought it was a scam, but after experiencing all these things, he is now a half-baked Taoist priest.

All he needs to become a real Taoist priest is one exam and one certificate.

"Don't feel too stressed. Since it chose you, it must be because of something extraordinary about you."

"My...excellence?"
