Chapter 37 External Evil
Days passed by like this. Ding Yi only used the enhanced medicine pack after returning home each night, and combined it with the internal and external stimulation of Changqing Gong. He felt that he was making rapid progress every day.
Under the dual stimulation of Changqing True Qi and medicinal liquid, the skin all over his body has begun to show slight keratinization, which is the first step in the skin resurfacing process.
That day, during breakfast, Xue Bao mysteriously approached Ding Yi and said to him:
"Cultivation maniac, let me tell you a secret."
Ding Yi initially didn't want to pay attention to Xue Bao, but upon hearing the word "secret," he couldn't help himself. He raised an eyebrow and asked:
"What secret?"
"You live in San Gu Fang, right? Do you know that San Gu Fang has recently been plagued by evil spirits?"
Xue Bao said in a low voice.
"External evil?"
Ding Yi was taken aback.
After spending these few days at the martial arts school, Ding Yi has gained some insights, at least in terms of learning more about this world.
To put it bluntly, these external evil spirits are evil spirits other than Yin-Yang evil spirits, meaning that other divine palaces and temples have infiltrated Qingfeng County to cultivate evil spirits and worship gods.
As the actual controller of Qingzhou, Yin Yang Palace suffocated the other divine palaces and immortal temples. However, Qingzhou was a vast territory, and the other evil stars still needed to survive. Therefore, they often secretly raised evil spirits within Qingzhou, just like the situation in Xiaotan Village back then.
As a county seat, Qingfeng County naturally experiences such external invasions, but they are rare. After all, anyone who dares to make a move in the area where the Yin-Yang Palace is stationed must have real skills.
There are only a few powerful jinxes in Qingzhou, and Ding Yi had heard of them.
"Which one?"
Ding Yi then asked.
"I heard it was Qingsi Temple. Tsk tsk, a family of three. When they were found, the whole room was covered in hair, just like a spider's nest."
Xue Bao shook his head and clicked his tongue.
"Didn't the patrol officers find anything?"
Ding Yi frowned and asked in a low voice.
It has to be said that Ding Yi had become somewhat complacent due to the routine he had been living these past few days, but the news Xue Bao brought today jolted him awake.
Ding Yi wasn't currently on Earth; he was in this damned other world!
The scene he encountered in Xiaotan Village resurfaced in Ding Yi's mind, and his right fist clenched tightly again, the veins on it bulging.
"What else can I say? Do you think the people from Qingsi Temple are still waiting for you to arrest them?"
Xue Bao shook his head.
"Qingsi Temple is bullying us so openly, and Yin Yang Palace hasn't even reacted?"
"Hey, Qingfeng County is a big city in our eyes, but in the eyes of Yin Yang Palace, it's just a tiny place, and we can't be bothered with it."
“If it weren’t for something happening in the county town, the Yin-Yang Palace wouldn’t care.”
Xue Bao took a bite of the large piece of meat, muttering to himself.
"That's it."
Ding Yi's eyes were somewhat vacant. After a few breaths, he began to eat in silence, seemingly lost in thought.
...
On the other side, in the inner city, at the Patrol Office.
Wu Qingfeng looked at the dossier in his hand, his brows furrowed.
"My lord, Qing Si Temple hasn't appeared in this area for a long time. Should we inform the people of Yin Yang Palace?"
A young man in a blue uniform asked from the side.
"That's not the point. What I'm curious about is how these guys managed to sneak in?"
Wu Qingfeng touched the stubble that had just grown on his chin, then put down the file and paced around the room.
"Tomorrow I'll lead a team with talismans to search every house. I refuse to believe it!"
The young man said through gritted teeth.
“Xiao Tian, we are both martial artists, not gods. Sometimes, you need to understand your place.”
Wu Qingfeng looked up at the young man, then said:
"Was Jin Wuhuan strong or not? What happened to him now? How do you compare to Jin Wuhuan?"
As he said this, Wu Qingfeng patted the latter on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"I know you're resentful, but let's talk about change when you believe you're better than Jin Wuhuan!"
After saying that, Wu Qingfeng put down the dossier and walked towards the door.
"However, this matter cannot be ignored. I will go see the county magistrate."
The young man watched Wu Qingfeng's retreating figure and sighed. Ever since he entered the Patrol Division, Nangong Tian had been hoping that one day the scourge of the world would be eradicated and the Great Liang would once again be as prosperous and vibrant as it once was.
But with each passing day, Nangong Tian grew more desperate, and now he even doubted whether the Liang royal family in Zhongzhou could hold on.
"Is this world destined to become a breeding ground for calamities?"
Looking at the rows of huge bookshelves in the office, Nangong Tian muttered to himself.
On the other side, in a side room behind the county government office, a bloated man was lying on a huge cushioned wooden chair, squinting at the figure kneeling in front of him.
"My lord, the frequency of calamities appearing in the city is increasing. I am worried that someone is plotting something. I implore you to notify the Yin-Yang Palace to cooperate in the investigation."
Wu Qingfeng lowered his head and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the figure above him.
The figure above did not speak, and the entire room fell into an eerie silence.
After a long pause, a somewhat weary voice finally rang out:
"Just do your job, Director Wu."
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Wu Qingfeng's face, but he quickly replied:
"Subordinate to obey!"
After saying this, Wu Qingfeng stood up, then flicked his sleeves and strode out of the room.
As Wu Qingfeng's footsteps faded away, the entire room returned to silence.
Inside the side room, smoke continuously escaped from the bronze animal-head incense burner, slowly swirling around it, adding a touch of life to the oppressive silence.
"You've made it too obvious."
After a long while, the person in the chair slowly spoke a sentence to the air in front of them.
"Amitabha Buddha, may I ask Lord Wang, how can it be made less noticeable?"
As a deep Buddhist chant resounded, a figure slowly emerged from behind the screen in the side room.
This person had one hand raised in front of his chest, wore a white monk's robe, and had a calm expression; he was a bald monk.
"The Green Silk Demon is inherently of the fierce and powerful type, so why not choose something else?"
Wang Dingshan shifted his obese body, glanced sideways at the big monk beside him, and asked.
“Lord Wang, the difference between strong and weak varies from person to person. The Qing Si Sha of Qing Si Temple is naturally fierce and powerful for ordinary people, but it is quite ordinary for Yin Yang Palace.”
"Moreover, the Green Silk Demon is precisely what attracts the attention of the Yin-Yang Palace, which, in my humble opinion, is just right, just right."
The monk smiled and said softly.
When will the "Fetal Mother and Flesh Infant Pill" be effective?
Wang Pingshan didn't respond, but continued to ask questions.
"It won't be easy to plant the Buddha's image without the knowledge of the Yin-Yang Palace; we need to create even more chaos."
The monk shook his head.
“I can’t hold out for long, at most half a month. If you still can’t plant the idol, I will kill you with my own hands.”
Wang Pingshan glanced sideways at the monk beside him, and suddenly a bloodthirsty aura seemed to appear out of nowhere in the entire room. The brass beast-head incense burner immediately emitted a buzzing sound, like the cry of an infant.
“This humble monk understands.”
The monk seemed oblivious to all of this, still wearing a smile. He bowed slightly to Wang Pingshan, then slowly retreated, disappearing completely behind the screen.
"Disaster strikes, the dynasty is nearing its end. Those who know me say I am worried, those who do not know me ask what I seek."
Wang Pingshan looked at the door of the side room and muttered to himself.
