Chapter 293

~11 min read 2,180 words

Come to think of it, this thin, tall Daoist could be considered powerful.

These nearly a hundred strange insects, although I don't know what skills they have, can also be seen to be extraordinary, and the number is large. Whether it is a Daoist or a martial artist, I am afraid it is not easy to deal with.

If used for a sneak attack, it would be even harder to guard against.

Not to mention he also had the spell of gathering earth into a barrier, which could assist the strange insects and also set obstacles for opponents.

Not to mention that flying sand and moving stones, stones the size of fists and palms flying out in patches. Most people in the world are flesh and blood. It's okay to wear armor, but if there is no armor, broken heads and bleeding are light.

And as a Daoist, he could actually dodge Lord Luo's saber, thinking he must have been through the dangers of the Jianghu for a long time.

It's a pity, it's a pity, he met Lord Luo today.

Magic is not necessarily born for fighting and killing, but martial arts are.

Lin Jue thought while looking down at the cloth bag.

The daylight was dim, and he groped for a long time before tearing the cloth bag open.

This cloth bag looked rough in material, but felt very fine and soft to the touch. Originally it didn't look big, it could only hold a watermelon, or buy rice on the street that a family could eat for a few days, but when the mouth of the cloth bag was pulled, the opening could be pulled to more than two feet wide.

Originally, touching the inside from the outside, there seemed to be nothing, as if it were empty or filled with a little cotton, light as nothing and extremely soft, but when it was turned over and poured—

"Clatter..."

Hundreds of taels of gold and silver, two or three liters of pearls and jade, Daoist robes and long shirts, teapots and water bags, short knives and lime, and even sugar and cakes, and scattered copper coins rolled all over the ground.

"Hmm?"

Even though Lin Jue had long noticed, he couldn't help but be stunned.

This cloth bag was indeed a magic weapon.

Reaching in to touch, the inside was already empty.

"This kind of treasure is rare." Lord Luo also cast his eyes over.

"Indeed rare. When we were at Mount Yishan, we only heard of it, but never saw it. There is a similar one in the neighboring Xianyuan Temple." Lin Jue's eyes flashed with thought, "If this treasure was not picked up by this bamboo-pole Daoist from somewhere else by mistake, it was given by the person behind him."

"He sat in the clinic to diagnose, he should know the way of alchemy, but it cannot be determined that the beauty-preserving pill was refined by him."

"That's right."

"See how big this bag is!"

"Okay!"

After some groping, the two soon determined that the actual size of this cloth bag was about the same as a larger ordinary sack, the kind of sack used at the wharf to hold goods with lower density. Except for people who are extremely tall or fat, otherwise, an adult curled up could just fit inside. And pulling the bag mouth to the maximum, it could also cover a person.

And even if Lord Luo entered the cloth bag, the cloth bag only bulged, carrying at most four or five jin in weight.

"It is indeed a good treasure. Now the Daoist can carry those heavenly materials and earthly treasures, magic books, and alchemy furnaces with him, and don't have to worry about being stolen." Lord Luo said.

"This Daoist was killed by Lord Luo."

"Can't the Daoist kill him? Why talk more? Now in this capital, I am just your guardian." Lord Luo said, "Besides, Luo has always been free and easy. Except for the saber, spear, and bow and arrow on his body, there are only two sets of clothes to change and some gold and silver jewelry. The long spear cannot be put in, and there is no need to put anything else."

After finishing, he bent down to pick up the gold and silver on the ground.

"These belong to me!"

Lin Jue had no choice but to bow and thank him.

Lord Luo picked up the gold, silver, and jade, while Lin Jue picked up the gold and silver strange insects killed on the ground, and also picked up those strange insects that were gradually turning back from stone, stuffing them into the cloth bag.

The horizon was getting brighter, the morning fog was still hazy, there were no clouds overhead, revealing a deep blue, indicating that today would be a good day.

The two came from the cold night and walked into the morning fog.

Soon they walked to where his junior sister and Fuyao were.

At this time, the morning sun had already risen, casting a golden luster. The sparse forest and fields between the forest were accumulating a layer of morning fog, which at this time had all become a haze that set off the sunshine.

This is the method of heaven and earth harvesting.

"Bang..."

A small white fox drilled out from the ground, shook its head, looked up at Lin Jue, and then turned to look at an ordinary stone beside it.

The morning sun pulled the forest into shadows, and the stone was the same, the shadow just happened to be pulled to Lin Jue's feet.

Lin Jue lifted his toes and tapped the stone shadow lightly.

"Hmm?"

The stone made a puzzled sound.

The next moment, the stone was gone, turning into a lying stone-carved Daoist nun, but when the Daoist nun stood up, she became the same as an ordinary person.

"Third Shixiong brother? Eh? Is it dawn? Did you meet that person?"

"Met him, he went to our side. Lord Luo cut him down with one saber." Lin Jue said, "But I got a good thing from him."

"What thing?"

His junior sister looked at Lin Jue curiously.

Lin Jue raised the cloth bag in his hand to show her: "This cloth bag looks small, but it can hold you too, but there are many strange insects inside, quite fierce, I'm afraid they have already come back to life, it's not easy to catch them if they run out later, so I won't open it for you to see."

"Oh!"

"Let's go."

The three people and one fox walked toward the city.

When they reached the city gate, it had just opened, and it was the busiest time with people coming and going.

Lord Luo was about to enter the gate, his peripheral vision swept, and he suddenly saw two little apprentices in cloth clothes walking out of the city. They were carrying bundles, their eyes looking left and right, obviously their hearts were not at peace.

"Hmm?"

Luo Seng frowned and smiled immediately.

Then without hesitation, he took two steps forward, the saber sheath in his hand swung lightly, hitting the back of the head of one of the little apprentices, the force just right, knocking him unconscious, and at the same time, his hand reached out like lightning, pinching the neck of the other little apprentice like a pair of pliers.

Such a martial artist, caught off guard, and still acting on you from behind, really no one can stop.

In an instant, one of the two apprentices fell to the ground, and when the other reacted, all he saw before his eyes was a bamboo hat approaching, and under the black cloth of the bamboo hat, he could see a face full of whiskers and vicissitudes.

"Two little brats! Where are you going?"

"Who are you? Help! Help!"

The little apprentice was bent over by him, struggling to make a cry for help from his throat.

"Who? Who dares to use force at the city gate?"

The soldiers guarding the city looked over one after another, their faces very panicked, but when they saw Lin Jue, their expressions immediately settled, and at the same time, they immediately bowed and saluted, calling "True Person Lin," and actually retreated.

"We are catching demons, these two are villains." Although Lin Jue didn't know these two apprentices, he said to the city guards.

"The True Person says they are villains! They must be villains!"

"Thank you."

At the same time, two Jianghu people walked out from behind, looked at each other, and bowed to Lord Luo.

"We have been watching them. These two wanted to leave the city this morning. We didn't get the letter from Luo... so we followed them."

"Thank you two heroes, I have confirmed that these two are the murderers." Lord Luo said, reaching into his bosom and taking out two pieces of gold, "This kind of help, I have nothing to repay, so I have to invite the two heroes to enjoy a good meal and wine in the city."

"You're welcome."

"No need..."

But Lord Luo threw it, and they instinctively caught it.

A heavy touch came from their hands, and looking down, seeing it was gold, they were incomparably surprised.

At this time, many people at the city gate looked over, some showing confusion, some feeling novel, and some heard the words "True Person Lin," discussing in low voices with the people beside them.

His junior sister stood still, quietly watching this scene, and then looked at Lin Jue.

Third Shixiong brother seems to be famous?

Under the eyes of everyone, Lin Jue took out a piece of paper, chanted a spell, and the paper became a gray donkey, then carried a little apprentice and entered the city.

The other little apprentice cried with a sad face, unwilling to walk into the city, and Lord Luo followed behind him with his saber in his arms.

"I have been to that demon Daoist's clinic and seen his two apprentices. Usually, they should pretend to be his apprentices. These two are young and vigorous, I'm afraid they have also learned magic. Holding onto their skills, their daily words, deeds, and expressions are naturally not as deeply hidden as their master's. This is also one of the reasons why I noticed something wrong." Lord Luo said, and asked the little apprentice in front, "Where are you two going?"

"The hero misunderstood! Misunderstood! We are just apprentices of my master, learning some skills in the clinic. Yesterday my master went out of the city to pick medicine, and we two thought, just take this opportunity to ask for leave from the owner of the clinic and go home to visit relatives, but unexpectedly we were stopped by the hero..."

The little apprentice cried while looking back.

Luo Seng just looked at him coldly, not even having the thought of giving him a slap.

Lin Jue, on the other hand, smiled slightly, raised his hand, and lifted a small earthy yellow bag.

"Look, what is this?"

The little apprentice was stunned and immediately widened his eyes.

Then, with a blink of his eyes, a line of hot tears gushed out, but it was not crying for his master, but rather in complete despair, knowing that he had completely lost hope of life, crying and begging for mercy.

A few people made a turn and turned into a quiet alley.

Luo Seng asked him while walking.

It turned out that before the thin, tall Daoist fled the capital, he instructed the two of them to go to the government office today to watch True Person Lin and Master Fan examine the corpses, record the situation at that time, and report it to him later.

However, loyalty and righteousness often come together. How many of these villains who do evil things are loyal?

It's not that these two haven't heard of True Person Lin and Master Fan, so they naturally know why their master fled, and they also know that he wanted the two of them to take risks, and they didn't dare to go see.

In fear, they calculated together and simply fled the city.

If they left the city, with the little skills they learned, they could live well anywhere. They were not the masterminds. Even if Master Fan invited immortals from the sky to hunt them down, when it thundered in the sky, maybe it would only kill their master, and the two of them would muddle through.

Unexpectedly, they were caught by Lord Luo just after leaving the city.

"Then what do you take the essence and blood of women for? Or who did you give these essence and blood to?"

"This..."

Unexpectedly, when asking this, the little apprentice who answered everything before suddenly choked, and actually closed his mouth.

"Not saying?"

Luo Seng looked at him with a smile, not in a hurry.

These heinous people, here with him, have never been counted as people, and they will soon say it.
