~8 min read 1,493 words

"Open the door for him!" Zheng Shouhe gripped the dagger tightly, pressing it against Wen Xiangyu's back.

Wen Xiangyu had no choice but to open the door.

After opening the door, a delicate face was revealed; it was Lu Yang.

Wen Xiangyu desperately winked at Lu Yang, telling him to run quickly. Lu Yang acted as if he didn't see it, a professional fake smile on his face: "Your skewers."

Zheng Shouhe also revealed a professional fake smile. The other party looked like an honest person, and it was too easy to trick him inside: "Little brother, come in and sit for a while, I'll get you the money."

Lu Yang believed it to be true and walked in. Seeing the room was pitch black, he smiled: "Not even lighting a lamp, sleeping so early."

Seeing Lu Yang walk in foolishly, Wen Xiangyu was anxious. She hardened her heart and wanted to push Lu Yang out.

How could Zheng Shouhe not see Wen Xiangyu's abnormality? It was already too late. He sneered, threw Wen Xiangyu behind him, and the dagger stabbed at Lu Yang in the darkness.

Zheng Shouhe had been in the darkness for a long time, and his eyes had adapted to the darkness. The other party walked in from the street and would surely need a transition time to adapt to the darkness. This was the opportunity!

It seemed tonight was destined to be a bloody night!

Lu Yang kicked Zheng Shouhe four or five meters away.

Don't talk about science with a cultivator.

Zheng Shouhe didn't expect Lu Yang's kick. This kick was too heavy and deep, like a giant rock smashing into his chest. He saw stars, several ribs were broken, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood!

He realized he had encountered a tough nut and had to use a hostage to survive!

Zheng Shouhe forcibly used his willpower to suppress the pain in his chest, turned over, and grabbed Wen Xiangyu's wrist.

"If you move again, I'll kill her!" Zheng Shouhe threatened viciously.

The person in Zheng Shouhe's arms sneered: "Who are you going to kill?"

Zheng Shouhe lowered his head and was horrified to find that the person he grabbed wasn't Wen Xiangyu, but Lu Yang!

Lu Yang held Zheng Shouhe's chin with one palm, snatched the dagger with the other hand, and casually dislocated Zheng Shouhe's limbs.

"What kind of luck, encountering so many things just by delivering food."

Lu Yang exhaled, lit a candle, and the room lit up with dim light.

Wen Xiangyu didn't expect all these changes to be so fast. The barbecue shop's shop assistant was like a god descending to the world, and the fierce villain was subdued in the blink of an eye.

"Are you okay?" Lu Yang helped up Wen Xiangyu, who was sitting on the ground in a daze.

"I-I'm fine."

"That's good. Pay for the skewers," Lu Yang said politely.

"Ah? Oh... oh." Wen Xiangyu then remembered that Lu Yang was here to deliver food and saved her by the way.

After Wen Xiangyu gave Lu Yang the money, she felt lingering fear and wanted to say something to ease the fear in her heart: "A-are you a cultivator?"

"That's right."

"Cultivators also open shops?"

"For a living, you know."

Zheng Shouhe, who was howling on the ground, was full of regret. What kind of luck was this? Encountering a cultivator as soon as he went out. Had cultivators now reached the point of delivering food to make a living?

Seeing Wen Xiangyu's look of surviving a disaster, Lu Yang smiled and shook his head: "I'll accompany you to report the case."

"Thank you." Wen Xiangyu remembered the thief upstairs: "By the way, there is also a person upstairs, he should be his accomplice."

As soon as Wen Xiangyu woke up, she saw Zheng Shouhe and Lu Zhi, thinking that these two people were together, but they had an internal conflict because of her beauty.

Lu Yang went upstairs and saw Lu Zhi tied tightly. He also thought he was Zheng Shouhe's accomplice: "It's a gang crime after all."

Lu Zhi shouted injustice: "Don't talk nonsense. I'm not with that guy. He's a kidnapper, I'm a thief. The starting point for our sentencing is different!"

Lu Yang was amused: "You really know the criminal law."

"We check the laws before committing crimes in our line of work to see how many years we can be sentenced to," Lu Zhi said, showing he was very knowledgeable.

"Then let's go, go to the government office to see how many years you can be sentenced to."

Hearing about the government office, Lu Zhi was so scared he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Don't, don't, don't, brother. We can discuss things. We are all mixing in the Jianghu, why be so harsh? Look, I'll give you a good thing, how about you let me go?"

Lu Yang sized up Lu Zhi, seeing he was just a mortal: "What good thing?"

"A yellow paper that can make people sleep. With this paper, you can make whoever you want sleep, and you can do whatever you want to her!"

Lu Yang associated it with the various anomalies recently, frowned, and realized the problem wasn't simple, asking coldly: "Where is it?"

Lu Zhi wasn't stupid. How could he answer just because you asked: "You promise to let me go first!"

Lu Yang swore solemnly: "I, Chi Xulong, swear to Heaven that if I don't let you go, Chi Xulong will be struck by five thunders!"

Lu Zhi was overjoyed: "The yellow paper is in the corner of the outer wall on the first floor."

Obviously, Lu Zhi wasn't very smart either.

Lu Yang jumped down from the second floor, walked around the first floor, and sure enough, found a yellow paper.

The yellow paper had symbols Lu Yang couldn't understand, like some kind of talisman.

He put the talisman away and returned to the second floor: "Where did you get this thing?"

"Under the Dashiqiao. I was escaping by boat once, and I accidentally looked up and saw a yellow paper stuck under the Dashiqiao."

Lu Yang nodded, went downstairs to reset Zheng Shouhe's leg, and escorted the two to the government office, with Wen Xiangyu following closely behind.

"Hey, hey, hey, you didn't keep your word!" Lu Zhi shouted.

Lu Yang sneered. The one being struck by lightning was Chi Xulong; what did it have to do with Lu Yang?

It just so happened that Head Constable Wei was on duty tonight. When he saw Lu Yang escorting two criminals to the government office, he had a feeling of "it's you again."

After hearing about the situation of the two criminals, Head Constable Wei put away his joking mind and became serious. This Zheng Shouhe had a murder case on him and was a serious criminal. Lu Yang had made a great contribution.

"This is the yellow paper Lu Zhi mentioned." Lu Yang handed the yellow paper to Head Constable Wei. He had already memorized the symbols on the yellow paper.

Head Constable Wei took the yellow paper and also realized the problem.

He heard that some people below were sleepy during the day. He didn't feel it himself and thought it wasn't a big deal. Now it seemed that someone was deliberately playing tricks!

There were no telling how many such yellow papers were hidden in Yanjiang County!

However, Head Constable Wei didn't know what the runes on the yellow paper meant. He would wait until the Chief Constable came to work during the day to ask the Chief Constable.

"Thank you. I'll send you a silk banner tomorrow." Head Constable Wei finished taking the statements from Lu Yang and Wen Xiangyu and waved goodbye.

Before leaving, Lu Yang went to the prison and found Chi Xulong: "I have a brother named Zheng Shouhe who is coming in for a while. Trouble you to take care of him."

Chi Xulong sneered. You also have times when you ask me for help? Take care of him? My spitting-pebble divine skill has reached great success. Watch how I deal with him!

After sending Wen Xiangyu back to the tofu shop, Lu Yang firmly refused the tofu Wen Xiangyu offered.

After such a toss, the barbecue shop had finished work. When Lu Yang went back, the two Chang Gui were washing dishes.

Lu Yang drew the runes on the yellow paper for Lan Ting: "You look at this rune. Is the effect to make people fall into sleep?"

After Lan Ting examined it carefully, she showed a surprised expression: "Where did you find it? This is a Life-Span Reversing Talisman. This talisman will absorb a person's life span. The person being absorbed will appear to be lacking energy and sleepy."

"This kind of rune is only effective on mortals and will not have the slightest impact on cultivators." ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
