Chapter 155: Sending a Dharma Treasure
The two foreign devils were terrified by this scene, and the blond foreign devil said in horror: "What kind of thing are you?"
A drunken A-Juan laughed: "I am not a thing, I am a specter."
The blond foreign devil said in horror: "A specter, help!"
The two foreign devils were so scared that they immediately pulled open the door and ran out.
Several disciples wanted to chase after them, but Lin Chengying quickly stopped them, saying: "Forget it, let them be."
Wu Hao covered his face and said: "Master, why don't we go see what these foreign devils were digging for in the backyard."
Lin Chengying nodded and said: "That is fine, let's go take a look."
The group and A-Juan arrived at the backyard, and Lin Chengying immediately said: "A-Juan, you go down and take a look."
A-Juan immediately poked her head in to look, only to see that it was full of gold inside.
She quickly raised her head and said: "Uncle Ying, it is all gold inside."
Lin Chengying and the others all widened their eyes, but Lin Chengying then thought that this was ill-gotten wealth.
The next second, Zhang Sheng appeared in the courtyard.
He nodded and said: "Hmm, this gold can be taken to do good deeds."
The crowd was startled by the suddenly appearing voice, and as for A-Juan, she felt a massive aura and was too scared to move.
Lin Chengying quickly bowed and said: "Junior Lin Chengying pays respects to Grand Uncle-Master."
Zhang Sheng waved his hand and said: "No need for formalities, I will take this gold."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large pit appeared in the courtyard, and the gold inside was all gone.
However, Zhang Sheng tossed a Dharma treasure to Lin Chengying as compensation.
Lin Chengying looked at the Dharma treasure in his hand, feeling very happy.
This item was an Evil-Warding Sword made from thousand-year lightning-struck wood, which was extremely powerful.
A-Juan was somewhat afraid of the Evil-Warding Sword and quickly said: "Uncle Ying, please take the sword further away."
Chen Jie immediately said: "Even A-Juan is afraid of it, it seems to be a good thing."
Lin Chengying laughed: "Of course it is good, this is made from thousand-year lightning-struck wood; ordinary specters will vanish into smoke with a single strike of this sword."
Hu Xia quickly clapped and said: "Yay, Master is even more amazing now."
On the other side, the two foreign devils were very unwilling after escaping; since they could not deal with the specter, they would just find someone else to deal with it.
Through grapevine news, they found a person called Xiao Baozi, who provided a master.
This master was named Xiehuo Shen, hailing from the Esoteric Sect.
In reality, this Xiehuo Shen had a very impressive-sounding name, but he was actually a fraud.
His strength was not very high, but he had some petty cleverness, so he was doing quite well for himself.
Xiehuo Shen was leisurely drinking wine in his small dojo, humming a little tune.
He muttered: "Hahaha, it is a good thing I was smart and did not go to that Shenfeng Cave.
Is opportunity really that easy to take? They all died in the end, now no one will compete with me for business."
He had already started daydreaming about becoming famous and getting rich on television in the future.
"Beep beep beep."
Hearing the doorbell, Xiehuo Shen quickly put away his wine pot and side dishes, and said loudly: "Disciple, take these dozen or so pilgrims away, Master needs to welcome a new guest.
As for this incense money, one hundred thousand is fine, just give them a twenty percent discount."
As he spoke, he put on his clothes and sat down, then said: "Come in!"
The two foreign devils walked in immediately; just as they were about to speak, Xiehuo Shen cast a spell toward the fire basin, and flames erupted, scaring the blond foreign devil into taking a step back.
Xiehuo Shen immediately said: "I know the two patrons were introduced by Xiao Baozi."
The gray-haired foreign devil immediately nodded and said: "Master, we came because we want to..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiehuo Shen cast a spell on the fire basin again and said: "You do not need to say it, I already know; you want to hire me to catch a specter."
The gray-haired foreign devil said in surprise: "Master is truly amazing, how do you know everything?"
Xiehuo Shen said proudly: "That goes without saying, it is fine for this seat to go catch the specter, but as for the price?"
The gray-haired foreign devil laughed: "Master, don't you know everything?"
Xiehuo Shen shook his head slightly and said: "The price needs to be negotiated."
The blond foreign devil nodded and said: "The price is not a problem, even triple is fine, our only requirement is to catch that specter."
Xiehuo Shen nodded with satisfaction and said: "What is the address?"
The gray-haired foreign devil raised an eyebrow and said: "Master, don't you know everything?"
Xiehuo Shen said, somewhat speechless: "I am called Xiehuo Shen, but I am not a real god."
The blond foreign devil took out one hundred thousand and said: "This is the deposit, after the specter is eliminated, I will give another two hundred thousand."
Xiehuo Shen was overjoyed, and he immediately followed the two foreign devils to the outside of Lin Chengying's dojo.
Seeing the villa before him, Xiehuo Shen was surprised: This seems to be the home of that old specter Zhan Bengdao.
Immediately, as if he had sensed something, he cast a spell into mid-air, and Zhan Bengdao appeared immediately.
Xiehuo Shen asked immediately: "Zhan Bengdao, isn't that your home? Why are you appearing here?"
Zhan Bengdao said with a bitter face: "Master Xiehuo Shen, I am also forced into this against my will.
You say I have lived here for over a hundred years, but then a Daoist came, causing my loving wife to change her appearance completely; I am truly aggrieved."
Xiehuo Shen immediately said: "Then do you want to take revenge?"
Zhan Bengdao nodded immediately: "Of course I want revenge, but I am no match for that old thing."
Xiehuo Shen laughed: "That is not a problem, do you still remember your wife's birth date and time?"
Zhan Bengdao immediately wrote down A-Juan's birth date and time readily.
The Xiehuo Shen was overjoyed and immediately took the two foreign devils, Gold and Gray, back to his own Daoist sanctum.
Following that, he pasted the birth data of A-Juan, which he had already written down, onto a paper doll.
He then chanted, "Divine fire come and raise the array, yin spirits shall not rest, the Fire God shakes and quakes, the yin spirits shall be trapped."
Afterward, he placed this paper doll over a fire to roast.
He said, "Heaven and Earth guide, yin covered and yang born, divine fire's might shakes, burn away the yin spirit! Rise!"
That paper doll began to spin inside the fire basin.
A-Juan, who was dancing in the villa, did not notice the abnormality on her body and kept on disco dancing.
But before long, she felt her whole body burning with heat, her skin turned bright red, and soon smoke began to rise from her body.
Immediately after, a burst of flames erupted from A-Juan's body.
"Boom!"
A loud noise drew the attention of everyone downstairs.
Lin Chengying hurriedly said, "Go up and see what's going on!"
Several people rushed upstairs, only to see A-Juan's room filled with fire, and a body burning on the floor.
The group hurriedly grabbed fire extinguishers and began to put out the fire.
Only when they saw A-Juan lying on the floor did they realize that the body that had just caught fire was A-Juan.
Hu Xia hurriedly asked, "A-Juan, what happened to you?"
A-Juan said dazedly, "I don't know, I was just dancing."
Chen Jie hurriedly said, "First, help A-Juan onto the bed."
Chen Jie and Liang Shan reached out to touch her, but were scalded.
Chen Jie exclaimed, "Wow, why is she so hot?"
Lin Chengying, who had already come up, saw the clue at a glance and hurriedly said, "Quickly find a way to move A-Juan down; I need to set up an altar and perform rites."
The group immediately made a makeshift stretcher and carried A-Juan downstairs, but they exclaimed, "So heavy!"
"No wonder they say a supernatural death is heavy as can be."
"Hurry up, I can't hold on much longer."
The group took turns carrying her until they got A-Juan downstairs, and Lin Chengying had also prepared the ritual altar.
Lin Chengying immediately had them place A-Juan down, then performed the rite, saying, "Mysterious light guide, regardless of distance, open my Dharma eyes, to see the truth."
They saw the Seven-Star Lotus Lamp in front of the copper basin spin rapidly and enter the water.
Immediately after, Lin Chengying saw a reflection.
"Xiehuo Shen, it's actually him."
Meanwhile, the Xiehuo Shen, who was in the middle of performing rites to kill A-Juan, was suddenly drenched by water, chilling him to the bone.
The Xiehuo Shen was greatly alarmed and hurriedly grabbed a blanket to cover the fire basin; on the other side, a fierce fire erupted from Lin Chengying's fire basin, forcing Lin Chengying back.
The Xiehuo Shen hurriedly turned to the two foreign devils and said, "That supernatural entity has already been killed."
The two foreign devils were overjoyed and immediately pulled out their pistols and killed the Xiehuo Shen.
The Xiehuo Shen never expected that he would die like this until the very end.
The gray-haired foreign devil Matt laughed, "Don't you know everything? How come you didn't calculate that you would die?"
"Mike, let's hurry back and get the gold!"
The two foreign devils immediately drove toward the villa, but the foreign devils did not realize that Lin Chengying's magic was still connected to the fire basin, and he heard their conversation.
Lin Chengying frowned and said, "We have trouble now; those two foreign devils are coming with guns."
Hu Xia hurriedly said, "Master, you have learned so many spells and arrays, you can use them to deal with them."
Wu Hao immediately said, "Are you stupid, Junior Sister? It's the nineties now, how are we supposed to deal with guns?"
"Ding-dong."
"Who's here?"
Hu Xia hurriedly went to open the door, and saw Zhang Wei walk in with a curious look, saying, "Wow, Senior Brother, what are you all doing?"
Lin Chengying finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's a long story, let me make it short."
"It's like this: a batch of gold is buried in the backyard of this Daoist sanctum, and two foreign devils want to take it.
However, this gold has already been taken by our Grand Uncle-Master. Previously, those two foreign devils hired a Tantric mage to attack A-Juan.
Now those two foreign devils are coming to the villa with guns."
Zhang Wei laughed, "Senior Brother, don't worry, I am a police officer."
As he spoke, he took out his. 38 revolver, looked at it, and said, "Let's find a way to separate the two of them; that will be easier to solve."
Lin Chengying thought for a moment and said, "We'll use the Eight Trigrams Maze Array; once someone falls into the array, they will surely lose their sense of direction."
The so-called Eight Trigrams Maze Array is a labyrinth that can trap supernatural entities, and can also be used to stall for time when encountering a powerful supernatural entity.
Lin Chengying immediately had his disciples set up the Eight Trigrams Maze Array.
Before long, the two foreign devils arrived.
Relying on the submachine guns in their hands, they immediately broke into the villa, only to see a large expanse of yellow cloth.
They didn't think much of it and charged straight in, only to find themselves winding around inside.
The gold-haired foreign devil said angrily, "Damn it, why is this place like a maze?"
The gray-haired foreign devil pulled out a knife and slashed at the yellow cloth, but it didn't leave a single mark.
The gray-haired foreign devil exclaimed, "What kind of things are these?"
The gold-haired foreign devil looked up and shouted, "These tricks of yours can't trap us, hurry up and hand over the gold!"
Unfortunately, no one responded.
The golden-haired foreigner was furious and immediately fired at the yellow cloth, causing a bullet hole to appear on it.
Zhang Wei immediately took out his. 38, and as he was much more familiar with the Eight Trigrams Lost Track Array, he was able to determine the enemy's approximate position based on the sound of the gunfire.
He approached cautiously, saw the silhouettes of two foreigners reflected on the yellow cloth, and immediately fired at one of the shadows.
"Bang!"
After Zhang Wei fired a shot, he immediately changed his position; a second later, a burst of bullets came flying over.
The gray-haired foreigner saw the golden-haired foreigner get shot and fired in anger, but unfortunately, all his shots missed.
The gray-haired foreigner emptied a magazine in his rage, and just as he was reloading, Zhang Wei appeared again and shot the gray-haired foreigner dead.
Zhang Wei immediately shouted, "Senior Brother, it's resolved."
Lin Chengying immediately had his disciples withdraw the array, and he looked at the two dead foreigners, shaking his head slightly.
He said, "Junior Brother, I am going to treat A-Juan's injuries now."
Zhang Wei nodded and said, "Alright, I will dispose of these two corpses."
The next day, Zhang Wei saw Lin Chengying again and asked, "Senior Brother, is A-Juan alright now?"
Lin Chengying smiled and said, "She is fine. It was fortunate that you arrived last night, Junior Brother; otherwise, I would have been in some trouble."
Zhang Wei laughed, "It was just a coincidence. I heard that Grand Uncle-Master took a batch of gold from you and gave you a magical artifact?"
Lin Chengying smiled and said, "Yes, it is an Evil-Warding Sword made from thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood."
Zhang Wei immediately said, "Then I must congratulate you, Senior Brother. Grand Uncle-Master's magical artifacts are all very good."
Lin Chengying nodded and said, "Indeed, this was an unexpected joy. By the way, Junior Brother, has anything major happened recently?"
Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "Nothing much. Ever since Grand Uncle-Master took action at the Shenfeng Cave, the foreigners have been much quieter, but we must still be careful."
Lin Chengying nodded slightly and said, "Good, if anything comes up, Junior Brother, feel free to come find me."
Zhang Wei nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I won't stand on ceremony when the time comes."
At this moment, Zhang Wei sensed that Zhang Sheng was calling him over.
Zhang Wei immediately bid farewell to Lin Chengying and headed toward the Pagoda Building.
Zhang Wei arrived at the Pagoda Building and asked, "Grand Uncle-Master, you aren't going to have another task for me to do, are you?"
Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "Indeed, there is a matter for you to handle, but it won't be difficult for you."
Zhang Wei was somewhat suspicious; he felt that this statement was a bit deceptive.
Zhang Sheng immediately said, "Alright, when have I ever lied to you? With your current skills and magical artifacts, you can even go toe-to-toe with a Ghost King, so what are you afraid of?"
"This time, you are to deal with a monster called the Nine-Life Cat Demon. It has already lost eight lives and only has one left."
A Daoist sealed this Nine-Life Cat Demon years ago, and his descendants have been guarding the seal ever since, but I have a premonition that the seal will be broken soon. His descendant is no match for it, so go and lend him a hand."
Zhang Wei said in surprise, "You're kidding, Grand Uncle-Master? A monster? I've never even seen a monster before."
Zhang Sheng kept a straight face and said, "What are you afraid of? The Nine-Life Cat Demon's strength is not what it used to be; it's roughly at the level of a Ghost King."
Zhang Wei thought to himself that it was indeed not going to be that easy.
