Chapter 58: Ghost Suppression Division Secretary

"What a coincidence, these are all on the shelf. These books were basically collected by my ancestors. If you want to buy them, I'll give you a cheaper price, how about it?"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the young shopkeeper seemed to become more enthusiastic. He quietly got up and came to Lin Feng's side, pointing to a bookshelf and saying to him.

"Oh, let me flip through it first, how about it?"

"Please feel free."

Lin Feng pretended not to know that he was staring at him, and began to flip through these old books by himself.

One of them, 《Great Xia Strange Records》, aroused Lin Feng's interest. This book listed some major *guiyi* events that happened in various parts of Great Xia.

After flipping through it roughly, Lin Feng decided to buy it. Then he looked at another book, 《Ghost Mountain Collection》.

This book was also interesting, actually implicitly mentioning some content of the Hundred Craftsmen of Heaven.

"Guest, are you satisfied with these?"

Seeing Lin Feng flip through several books in a row, the young shopkeeper came to his side and asked enthusiastically.

"Hmm, satisfied. I want all these. How do you plan to sell them?"

Lin Feng held the books he had chosen in his hand, and then looked at this young shopkeeper with a half-smile and asked.

"Really?"

"There are five books in total. Since it's your first time here, I'll give you a 50% discount. Just give me two taels of silver!"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, the young shopkeeper's face instantly revealed a joyful expression, and then he calculated the price nimbly.

This price was not expensive, even quite cheap. This era was not like Lin Feng's previous life; books and the like were originally expensive things.

Especially this kind of old book, to a certain extent, also possessed a certain collection value.

"That's great, haha, I'll come again next time!"

Lin Feng was happy to hear this, and then directly took out the money.

Soon he took the books wrapped in blue cloth and walked out of this old Lin's Bookstore.

And behind him, the young shopkeeper looked at Lin Feng's departing back with a look of longing in his eyes.

"The books were bought, and the shop was seen, but I really didn't expect them to come together!"

Carrying the books wrapped in blue cloth, Lin Feng could feel the chilling cold emanating from these books even through the cloth.

"Hehe, don't worry, I will definitely come again next time..."

After leaving this street, Lin Feng continued to wander in the city. Besides buying books, he also wanted to buy some oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar.

Now eating some pickled vegetables and thin porridge every day really made him feel a bit tired.

But what made him feel pained was that the seasonings in this era were pitifully few. Sichuan peppercorns, chili, cumin, and black pepper were all missing.

The only thing he could get his hands on was probably garlic. Oh, right, there were also green onions and yellow ginger.

However, unless one planted the latter two oneself, they were not easy to buy. Even if one wanted to buy them, it was not convenient to come to the city from far away just to buy these things.

Finally, Lin Feng wandered around the city and then returned to the graveyard.

——————

At the same time, the Ghost Suppression Division, which was destroyed last night, had now stood up again. If it weren't for the traces of the houses still being a bit new, one couldn't tell that there was only a pile of broken walls and ruins yesterday.

"... Last night, my subordinate discovered wooden people wandering around the graveyard, but they didn't hurt anyone. Those wooden people were exactly the same as that Senior's, so my subordinate didn't take action rashly."

In the Ghost Suppression Division, Bai Yuanlong had already changed out of his dirty beggar clothes and turned back into a majestic Silver-Badge Divine Catcher.

"Is there any clue about the person I asked you to investigate?"

Li Yanbing listened to this news and tapped the table lightly, then asked him again.

"My subordinate didn't find any abnormalities in that person. On weekdays, he mostly just raises dogs. In addition, my subordinate discovered that those wooden people are faintly centered on the Ding-character graveyard, as if they are protecting him."

As Bai Yuanlong said this speculation, Li Yanbing's brows raised, and then she put them down again.

"Do you think he is related to that Senior?"

"Yes, my subordinate believes that this person is very likely that Senior's disciple!"

Bai Yuanlong immediately stated his speculation. In his view, this was the most likely situation.

If it were a *guiyi* user from another force, they would definitely have made a move during the chaos in Luohe City. In addition, those wooden people were clearly the Senior's methods. Since the other party arranged it like this, they must be worried about their disciple's safety.

"That makes sense. What do you think we should do?"

Li Yanbing nodded, feeling he was right. If the master was cultivating in Xinglong Ridge, then it was normal for the disciple to be active in the surrounding area.

"My subordinate believes we cannot act rashly, so as not to offend that Senior. However, we can befriend him; normal interaction is fine."

Bai Yuanlong naturally understood that since the other party was willing to hide their name and didn't want to expose their identity, there must be a reason. Perhaps it was to avoid enemies, or perhaps they wanted to live a peaceful life.

No matter which situation it was, they should pretend not to know, and then in this situation, becoming friends was the best choice.

"This matter is handed over to you. Remember, if not necessary, do not expose that you are from the Ghost Suppression Division!"

Li Yanbing nodded after pondering for a while, feeling this was indeed a good method.

If they could really build a relationship with that Senior's disciple, then if they had trouble in the future, that Senior could also help out, right?

"Yes, my subordinate obeys the order!"

Bai Yuanlong immediately clasped his fists and saluted, and he also realized that this was definitely his opportunity!

After Bai Yuanlong left, Li Yanbing's confidant Li He hurried in and reported: "My Lord, someone from the capital's Ghost Suppression Division office has come."

"Come with me to see."

"Yes!"

Li Yanbing was overjoyed to hear this, but soon her expression returned to normal.

Going out to the backyard of the Ghost Suppression Division, a government official wearing brocade robes and a official hat, with a stern expression, was standing there.

Beside him were four iron-clad guards who looked exceptionally fierce. The waist tags of each guard clearly wrote a "Xuan".

These four people could be recognized instantly; these were the famous Xuan-Armored Guards of the capital. Being able to have such guards accompany him, the person who came was definitely not a simple character.

"Junior Li Yanbing, pays respects to Lord Secretary!"

After Li Yanbing arrived at the backyard, she saw the person and immediately clasped her fists to salute him.

"Hmm, it seems you are doing quite well here."

The Ghost Suppression Division Secretary looked at Li Yanbing standing intact in front of him, and the expression on his face couldn't help but relax, then he said this sentence to her.

"It was all thanks to Grandmaster Su's care. If not for that, Junior would have been harmed."

"Su Xiao's matter is left to me. This time I came for the things you wanted. You have some luck to be able to befriend an Ultimate Person Senior."

The Secretary nodded slightly, but the purpose of his visit this time was definitely not for an ordinary Grandmaster.

"That Senior only wanted to exchange these things for the number of times he took action. Last night, Wang Xuanji of the Tattoo Sect almost turned the Ghost Suppression Division upside down. If it weren't for that Senior taking action, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see your niece anymore."

Li Yanbing heard that he was a bit blaming her, so her tone changed, from official business at the beginning to slightly complaining.

"Tattoo Sect, I will go find them myself!"

"Hmph, the Ghost Suppression Division hasn't fallen yet!"

Hearing this sect name, the Secretary was indeed furious, and the terrifying momentum of his whole body was released involuntarily.

"Uncle, I don't know where the things are?"

Seeing that he was about to get angry, Li Yanbing spoke quickly, otherwise, the Ghost Suppression Division that had just been rebuilt with effort would be destroyed again!

"Hmph, this time it's cheap for you, but the Ultimate Person Senior is often moody. When interacting with him, don't be reckless!"

Hearing this, the Secretary couldn't help but glare at her, and then directly warned her.

"Yes, Junior obeys the order!"

Li Yanbing was overjoyed in her heart, knowing that this matter was now considered stable! ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
