In less than a stick of incense, more than a dozen police officers who had just returned to the county government gathered again under the leadership of Chief Catcher Liu Hongsheng.
A group of people rushed down the street in a hurry. It wasn't until they ran a block or two that they realized that the purpose of their trip was to destroy a temple of obscenity and lure out the escaping monster and kill it.
kill.
Ji Yuan and the others naturally appeared among the policemen.
At this time, he and Hui Xin were each holding a magic weapon in one hand and a spiritual stone in the other, racing against time to replenish their spiritual energy as much as possible.
If it comes to efficiency and value, the spiritual energy recovery water worth only thirty taels of silver is naturally the best choice. However, the speed of restoring spiritual energy is too busy and often takes several hours.
A piece of spiritual stone is not only more expensive than the Spiritual Water Return by twenty taels of silver, but it is directly used to replenish the lost spiritual energy of the magic weapon. Although it is extremely fast, it requires several pieces.
In terms of value, this has doubled several times.
However, the current situation does not allow them to use the spiritual water to slowly restore the bronze oil lamp and rosary beads, the spiritual energy that was lost during the previous battle at Xiyuhe.
Fortunately, the spiritual stones used by the two of them at this time came from the county government's inventory, so they did not need to spend their own money.
A group of people walked through the bustling market and soon arrived at the bank of Xiyu River. Following the clues they had already grasped, at around noon, they finally felt outside the obscene temple.
It is said to be a wild temple, but in fact it looks no different from an orthodox landscape temple in appearance. It is a large temple filled with people who come here to offer incense.
The billowing gas of incense rises. Although the scene alone is not as good as Baiyun Temple, it is still more than ten times stronger than Xuantian Temple.
Even in the temple, there is a famous temple priest who patiently instructs the people on how to offer incense, helps interpret the fortune-telling, and gives pointers.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan's face immediately sank. This scene was definitely nothing more than a wild temple of obscenity erected by the people on their own initiative out of fear of monsters in the river.
"I'm afraid there are experts behind this matter who are giving guidance."
Zhao Yuansong also whispered something in a low voice.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan nodded. He couldn't even tell what someone was planning behind the scenes. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why a temple of obscenity, both in terms of incense and scale, was comparable to the orthodox earth temple in the county.
Moreover, in a wild temple of obscenity, there are actually many temple priests who are well versed in this. They have arranged the temple very well. There are people who are responsible for selling incense, others who guide pilgrims, and still others who are responsible for interpreting fortune-telling and solving puzzles, etc.
"Humph, there are actually some merchants in the city!"
Chief Catcher Liu Hongsheng snorted coldly. He saw that among the crowds of pilgrims, there were actually many wealthy businessmen in the city.
What really annoyed him was not the behavior of these wealthy businessmen coming here to offer incense, but the fact that the prostitution temple in the city had developed to such an extent, but the county government was completely unaware of it.
Even his police officers had never heard of such a popular temple here during their usual inspections of the county, as if someone was deliberately keeping the news away from officials and their families like them.
"Do it! Rush in directly!"
When the newly mobilized officers and soldiers met with the police officers here, Liu Hongsheng immediately issued the order.
Thirty officers and soldiers and more than a dozen police officers, after receiving the order, rushed to the Yin Temple not far away without any explanation. Except for a dozen people who stayed in the temple, they stopped the surrounding people and the rest were all gone.
Rush into the temple.
Not long after, waves of angry curses came from the temple, mostly from the common people and wealthy businessmen and other pilgrims inside. They loudly reprimanded and cursed the officers, soldiers and police officers, and some even looked like they were going to fight.
"A bunch of fools!"
Liu Hong was so angry that his face was livid. The officers, soldiers and policemen were handling the case, but these people didn't know how to evade it, so they just cooperated, and they even stopped him confidently!
On the side, Ji Yuan's expression also became a little complicated. Looking at the scene in the temple, most of these ordinary pilgrims were brainwashed and really regarded a wild temple as an orthodox god like the City God.
It seems that the person behind all this is planning something big. He wants to use folk incense to forcibly create an existence comparable to the orthodox gods!
If it really succeeds, a monster with a physical body and the power of mountains and rivers, with the infinite benefits brought by the incense and golden body, will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. Even if it really confronts the City God of a city, it probably won't.
Falling at a disadvantage.
Even relying on its main body and golden body, it is enough to overpower the incorporeal gods!
"How dare you do it!"
Suddenly, Liu Hongsheng's eyes were about to burst into flames, but it was the temple priest in the temple who took advantage of the chaos to brazenly attack the officers, soldiers and policemen.
On the surface, these people were temple ministers, but in fact, they were all good martial artists. Their force was not necessarily weaker than that of ordinary policemen. They were unexpectedly injured by many people.
There were two police officers among them. One was caught off guard and stabbed through the heart and lower abdomen with a sharp knife on the spot. Even if the best doctor came here, he could not save his life.
And after blood was seen, lives were lost, and even the dead ones were police officers, the temple became completely chaotic.
No matter how superstitious the common people are, they still know that they should not mess with the officials and their families. If they are justified, they can scold them. Even if they are unreasonable, they can harass them. But if they hurt or kill the officers and soldiers, it will be a serious crime to be beheaded.
!
As a result, one of the pilgrims who had previously been stopped in front of the policemen immediately ran out of the temple gate in a panic. The officers and soldiers inside were unable to get out, and the officers and soldiers outside could not squeeze in for a while.
When Ji Yuan and others saw this, they looked at each other, and then they all let out a sigh of relief. Immediately, their toes tapped the ground, and their bodies seemed to have no weight, and they flew lightly to the temple wall.
A few people easily jumped up the high wall, and soon they saw the scene in the temple. At this time, most of the pilgrims were crowded at the temple gate, and there were seven temple blessings inside, leading a dozen pilgrims dressed as ordinary people, and officials and family members.
Fighting together.
When Ji Yuan saw this scene, he almost laughed out loud in anger. These were ordinary people. They were all very skilled and ruthless. They were obviously a few martial arts masters, just pretending to be pilgrims here.
In a short period of time, these people defeated six or seven officers and soldiers, as well as more than ten policemen.
It's not that these officials and family members are incompetent, but that in the previous chaos, they were often attacked by sneak attacks and suffered some injuries. In addition, it was suddenly difficult to form an effective counterattack when the incident occurred.
After looking at it for a moment, Ji Yuan called out and immediately jumped off the wall first, ducking a few times and arriving behind a policeman.
He reached out and grabbed the opponent's belt, and then pulled him back with force. Immediately, a pilgrim holding a short blade appeared in front of him, stabbing forward with a knife.
When Ji Yuan saw this, he immediately let go of the hand holding the detective's belt, and then touched his waist. At the same time as the cold light suddenly appeared, there was a crisp sound.
The martial artist disguised as a pilgrim was stunned for a moment. He looked at the short blade with a section broken off in his hand and found it difficult to recover for a moment.
But Ji Yuan didn't care about this. He gently shook out a sword flower from the soft sword in his hand, and then the tip of the sword lightly touched the opponent's wrist. In pain, the man let go of the only half of his hand.
Short blade.
When the short blade fell to the ground and made a crisp sound, Ji Yuan jumped up and touched the opponent's chest with his toes.
His seemingly light kick caused a tall and thick man to fly backwards several feet away and fell to the ground, wailing in pain, unable to get up again for a while.
At the same time, Zhao Yuansong and others also jumped off the wall and appeared in front of the police officers and officers and soldiers.
Among them, Huixin is the most eye-catching. This young monk has his hands clasped together, his robes are fluttering in the wind, and a layer of pale golden brilliance is flowing around his body.
Two martial artists disguised as pilgrims came forward. The sharp blades in their hands cut through the yellow monk's robes, but they were unable to penetrate Huixin's flesh, as if they had struck a knife on a solid rock.
"Amitabha."
He recited a Buddha's name and thrust forward with both palms. Amidst the flash of Buddha's light, the two martial arts masters immediately spat out blood and crashed into several old trees a few feet away.
Buddhist monks eat fast and chant the Buddha's name to persuade people to do good deeds. However, when they encounter demons and miscreants, they also have the power of King Kong's anger to subjugate demons and eliminate demons.
"If you were as good at fighting as usual, you would have already reached the late stage of enlightenment."
Ji Yuan cut off the tendons of both men's hands with a sword, kicked each other, then turned around and shouted to Huixin.
Hearing this, the young monk smiled bitterly and didn't know how to reply for a while.
On the other side, Zhao Yuansong's two junior brothers and sisters, as well as Xu Qiqi and Jiang He, took action at the same time. Each one of them and one sword subdued all the remaining martial arts masters disguised as pilgrims.
At this moment, there were only seven temple ministers left in the Temple of Obscenity, and they were fighting with Zhao Yuansong.
Taking a closer look, these seven temple ministers turned out to be martial artists who had entered the realm. Although they were all in the early stages of the flesh realm, they cooperated closely with each other, and the martial arts they performed were by no means ordinary martial arts.
"I bet Fellow Daoist Zhao will need at least ten moves to defeat these guys."
Ji Yuan put away his soft sword and took some time to watch.
Seeing his companions being besieged, he had no intention of going to help, and was even in the mood to start a bet with the people around him.
In fact, with Zhao Yuansong's strength in the late stage of Enlightenment Realm, there is really no need for them to come forward to help. Even without using magic weapons, it is not difficult to deal with only seven warriors in the early stage of Flesh Realm.
The only difference is to use a few moves to defeat the enemy in front of you.
"I bet senior brother only needs seven moves, one move per person!"
The young man Jiang He hummed twice and spoke out unwilling to be outdone.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan, who was joking casually, immediately became interested.
His eyes flashed, he came close to Jiang He, and then joked: "Since it is a right bet, of course it needs to bet. How about whoever loses treats the other party to eat a bunch of candied haws?"
Jiang He was stunned, as if he didn't expect that this young and mature Taoist priest would actually propose such a bet. It was no different from a bet among children on the street.
But he had forgotten that both he and Ji Yuan in front of him were only fourteen years old at this time.
"Me me me! Count me in!"
Xu Qiqi's eyes lit up and he quickly came over: "I bet two candied haws on a stick, senior brother will be able to defeat all those guys with just one move!"
The girl's eyes narrowed as she smiled, as if she had seen herself holding a bunch of candied haws on her left hand and a bunch of candied haws on her right hand. This chapter has been completed!
