Chapter 22: Ascension to Immortality: Yin-Yang Combination Formation

The word “Jing” condensed from the void carried a majestic and righteous spirit, which immediately dispersed the poison left by the Tongxin Demon, and the strong smell of blood in the yard also dissipated.

Aole’s eyes lit up when he saw this scene, and he said with a grin:
“Teacher, you are still the best! It’s a pity that it wasn’t you who encountered the Heart Demon last time, otherwise you would have made sure that evil spirit would never return!”

The middle-aged man in Confucian robes and goatee was none other than his teacher, Liu Yunhe, the supervisor of the Imperial Observatory in Qinghe County.

Liu Yunhe shook his head slightly and said:

“Although the Heart Demon’s methods are strange, it can trap him without killing him, so you can seal him. You are too stupid.”

Aole blushed, stammered a few times, and then said:

“Teacher, you were once a powerful figure in the Great Qi Si Tian Jian. Even the current emperor has heard of your name. If you hadn’t been killed by those treacherous people, you would be one of the nine great priests now. This Tongxin Demon would naturally be a piece of cake…”

Liu Yunhe shook his head and said:

“A hero does not talk about his past achievements. Don’t mention these trivial matters anymore. You are still young and don’t know the dangers. I am very satisfied to have a place in Qinghe County. Isn’t it much happier to have Huang on my left and Qingcang on my right than to suffer in the academy? Otherwise, I would have to fight with those evil people in the Xuanzhengyuan every day, which is very annoying.”

After a pause, Liu Yunhe continued:

“Besides, being with the emperor is like being with a tiger. It is not so easy to get along with him.”

Ao Le thought, if you hadn’t talked about it every day, how could I know this? If you didn’t say anything, how could I know about the things in the temple in this remote area of ​​Qinghe County?
But he said:
“No matter how much it is like living with a tiger, you are still the pinnacle of the Great Qi. From this high place, you can see all living things and the world. A real man should be like this.”

Liu Yunhe snorted coldly and said:

“What should a real man do? Should he be like His Majesty, who made a pipa out of human thigh bones and played it and sang every day? Or should he be like the prime minister of this dynasty, who burns the followers of evil gods in Xuanzhengyuan for fun every day?”

Hearing this, Ao Le couldn’t help but shrink his neck and look around.

Liu Yunhe cursed:
“Look at how little you can do! Even if someone hears it, so what? I will never admit defeat.”

Aole said with some fear:

“Teacher, is the world going to be in chaos? With evil spirits everywhere, isn’t it going to become a ghostland?”

Liu Yunhe sighed and said:

“There will be no chaos. As long as the Imperial Astronomical Observatory can still deter evil spirits, the world will be at peace. Therefore, we have no choice but to fulfill our responsibilities.”

Then he looked at the corpses in the room and said slowly:
“This world is so fickle. In the government, there is music and singing, intrigue and oppression every day. In the common people, there are floods, locust plagues and evil spirits everywhere. What is there to be attached to in the government? For example, this Tongxin demon suddenly appeared in Qinghe County and killed so many people, but it is difficult to find his whereabouts. There must be a bigger evil spirit behind it.”

As he spoke, Liu Yunhe casually took out a bamboo pen, dipped it into the blood from the broken heart of a corpse, and held it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.

After just a few glances, Liu Yunhe suddenly swung his pen and wrote a line of big words in the air:
“Let’s talk, life and death will be the same!”

Then the corpse seemed to have received an order and stood up on its own with a “whoosh”!
His eyes were still closed and his limbs were strangely stiff.

Liu Yunhe immediately asked:
“Several people?”

The corpse had its eyes closed, but slowly extended two fingers.

Aole, who was standing by, looked horrified and said:
“Sure enough, there are other people here! Teacher, who is behind this Heart Demon? How could he be able to control such an evil spirit? Could it be a bigger evil spirit?”

Liu Yunhe nodded slightly and said:

“This must be a giant evil demon. I don’t know how many people it will harm. We must get rid of it as soon as possible. March is approaching, and I will hold a water and land ceremony in Weizi Town to suppress the evil spirit.”

At this moment, Liu Yunhe suddenly waved the brush in his hand again, and drops of blood suddenly shot out in all directions!

Then there was a muffled sound, and muffled groans were heard from outside the window and on the roof. Then two bodies were seen rolling down from the roof, and footsteps were heard. It turned out that a young man in a black suit and carrying seven pistols walked in from outside the yard, carrying two bodies.

The man placed the two bodies in front of Liu Yunhe and bowed in a low voice:
“Teacher, I was just about to arrest these two, but I didn’t expect you to do it yourself… Unfortunately, they took poison immediately after being injured.”

As he spoke, he pried open the jaws of the two corpses, and blood foamed from their mouths, indicating that they had just died.

Aole shook his head and said:
“Third Brother, this won’t work. How come you didn’t leave a single person alive? Teacher, our trip was extremely secretive this time. These people suddenly appeared, so they probably weren’t coming for us.”

Liu Yunhe nodded and looked towards Diao San’s inner room:

“Taking poison to keep silent is a bit evil. These people showed up so quickly after the murder. This victim must have something very important to them… Check these bodies.”

……

In the moonlight, Li Yan was running wildly with the Heart Demon in his hand.

When he was in Diao San’s yard, he was always a little nervous.

After all, the evil demon was by his side, and he had killed so many people. If he were discovered, he would have no explanation.

Now that I have left the crime scene and obtained so much money, I feel much better.

As the saying goes, killing people and setting fires will bring you a golden belt. The fastest ways to make money are indeed written in the “Da Qi Law”.

Now that he had calmed down, he also understood that although he had the fifth level of Qi and Blood skills, plus a perfect level of Incense Technique, it was still far from enough.

The reason he was able to capture the Heart Demon was entirely due to his great perfection level of Incense Technique, which, combined with the Heart Demon’s most terrifying method, gave him a way to break the spell.

This kind of incense technique can naturally restrain evil spirits, but it is useless against warriors with martial arts skills.

Not to mention anything else, Li Yan now has only strong skills but no tricks. Even if he faces Zhan Yupeng, who is at the third level of Qi and Blood, it is still very dangerous and the outcome is unpredictable.

This world is really too dangerous, we have to give Xiao Niu more responsibilities!

As I was thinking about it, the shadow of the charity cemetery appeared before my eyes.

Li Yan quietly returned to the charity cemetery and immediately heard the sound of Niu Ma practicing martial arts.

I couldn’t help feeling very happy.

Walking around Niu Ma, he quickly came to the empty crematorium.

He then opened the crematorium, stuffed the Heart Demon in his hand into it, hid it in a corner of the crematorium, and blocked it with firewood.

The most dangerous place is the safest place. Since I can’t think of any other good place, I have to hide this demon here temporarily.

If there is really a problem, I can only burn it.

Then Li Yan took out the things in his arms in the moonlight and began to count today’s spoils.

More than eighty taels of silver, and a few hundred copper coins that he picked up.

There was also another booklet that was taken from Diao San.

When you open the first page of this booklet, you will immediately see a feather pattern:
