"What demons and ghosts? Don't talk nonsense. I've studied the books of sages since I was a child. I don't believe in such things. Let's think about how to catch those human traffickers! Otherwise, when the higher-ups blame us, both of us will have to bear the consequences. "Chen Qingfeng shook his head and snorted.
Chen Qingfeng was enlightened at the age of five. At the age of seven, he was familiar with the Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Names, and Thousand Character Classic. He was known as a child prodigy. At the age of 11, he became a Xiucai. At the age of 14, he participated in the provincial examination. At the age of 16, he became a Juren. At the age of 21, Chen Qingfeng became a Jinshi. He was appointed by the imperial court to be the county magistrate of Guangning County for 20 years. In his eyes, there were only the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. He did not believe in demons and ghosts.
"Lord Chen, since there are sages, why are there no demons? Moreover, if it was done by demons, it has nothing to do with us. Don't you think so? "The middle-aged man shook his head and said with a faint smile.
"This …" Chen Qingfeng was moved. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "I'm afraid the higher-ups don't believe in demons, right?"
"Whether they believe it or not is up to the higher-ups. Whether there are demons or not is up to you. Of course, you can be a little vague. Don't insist that it was done by demons. I'll also send my men to patrol day and night to prevent similar things from happening again. What do you think?" The middle-aged man said meaningfully.
"Alright! I'll do as you say. I'll immediately write a memorial and have someone send it to Lord Prefectural Governor overnight. I hope Lord Prefectural Governor will believe in the existence of demons and ghosts! "Chen Qingfeng thought carefully before he let out a long sigh and agreed.
The middle-aged man was delighted. After chatting for a while about official business, he left.
Half an hour later, a yamen runner rode a fast horse and left the city.
Wang Changsheng had no idea what was going on in the county office. During this period of time, apart from making talismans, Wang Changsheng would also spend some time cultivating the Golden Sun Skill. Wang Changsheng had been stuck at the third level for more than half a year. Who would have thought that a few days ago, the Golden Sun Skill would suddenly be ready to break through to the third level? This made Wang Changsheng very happy.
Since he wanted to break through to the third layer, he naturally had to find a place with abundant spirit energy to cultivate. In this way, he couldn't stay in the secular world. However, he planned to stay for a few more days because he'd recently been practicing the drawing of the elementary talisman, the Lightning Spear Talisman. Seeing that he would succeed after practicing for a period of time, he naturally wouldn't give up halfway.
According to Wang Changsheng's guess, although the Fire Spear Talisman was an elementary talisman, its power was probably not inferior to the intermediate talisman, Firebird Talisman. Of course, this was only his guess. The actual power of the Lightning Spear Talisman had yet to be tested.
Wang Changsheng stared at the light silver talisman paper in front of him with full concentration. He held the Devil-subduing Brush in his right hand and a Thunder Spiritual Stone in his left.
At this time, there were already 90 thunder talismans on the talisman paper. There were only six more to be completed.
Wang Changsheng didn't dare to be careless. The closer he got to this point, the more careful he had to be. As he raised the brush, there was an additional thunder talisman on the talisman paper. However, the energy on it suddenly became chaotic and showed signs of going berserk.
Seeing this, Wang Changsheng hurriedly threw the talisman paper forward. With a flash of silver light, the talisman paper turned into ashes with a loud bang.
Seeing this, Wang Changsheng was a little depressed. He had failed hundreds of times. Each time, he failed at the last few talismans. Perhaps, he should go out for a walk and relax.
Speaking of which, he hadn't left the manor for half a month. He stayed in the manor all day long to draw talismans. It was time to go out for a walk and relax. Maybe he could draw talismans.
Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng put away the talisman making tools, got up and walked out of the manor.
"Hey." As soon as Wang Changsheng walked out of the front door, he saw a bald monk begging for alms.
The bald monk was about 20 years old. He had a delicate face and wore a yellow monk's robe. There were six ring scars on his head and a string of black Buddhist prayer beads hung in front of his chest. He was holding a black round bowl in his hand with two steamed buns in it.
There was nothing strange about a monk begging for alms. What was strange was that this person was a cultivator at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
Speaking of which, Wang Changsheng had been in the Immortal Cultivation World for a long time, but this was the first time he saw a Buddhist. In the Immortal Cultivation World, there were five major Immortal Cultivation Sects: Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Devil, and Monster. Among them, the Buddhist Sect was the most mysterious. It was very rare to see a Buddhist Sect member walking in the Immortal Cultivation World. However, no one dared to look down on Buddhist Sect members. This could be seen from the order of the five major Immortal Cultivation Sects.
Wang Changsheng's Vajra Tiger Taming Formation was made by a Buddhist Sect member. This formation helped Wang Changsheng kill many Class 2 demonic beasts. He was quite curious about Buddhist Sect members. Now that he had met a Buddhist Sect member, he naturally wanted to make friends with him.
Thinking of this, he quickly walked toward the bald monk.
The monk seemed to have noticed something and turned his head to look at Wang Changsheng.
"Amitabha, I am Shan Dao. Greetings, brother." The bald monk put his palms together and said calmly.
"I am Wang Changsheng. Greetings, Master Shan Dao." Wang Changsheng smiled slightly and returned the greeting. He then said, "Master Shan Dao, my mansion is right in front. I wonder if you would like to come and sit for a while. I would like to ask you a few questions."
"Then I will disturb you." The bald monk agreed without hesitation.
Wang Changsheng heard this and his face lit up. He led the bald monk into the manor and brought him to a stone pavilion.
Wang Changsheng took out a tea set and tea leaves from his storage bag. He brewed a pot of spirit tea and poured a cup for himself and Shan Dao.
"Master Shan Dao, this is Cloud Dew Tea. It has the effect of refreshing the mind. Why don't you try it?" After speaking, Wang Changsheng took the lead and drank the tea in his hand.
Monk Shan Dao picked up the teacup and sniffed it. He nodded and drank the tea in one gulp.
Seeing this situation, Wang Changsheng's eyes flashed with a touch of admiration. If he was Monk Shan Dao, let alone drinking this cup of tea, he might not even enter the manor. However, Monk Shan Dao not only entered the manor but also drank the spirit tea he poured. He didn't know if he was really not afraid that Wang Changsheng would poison the tea or did he have something to rely on.
"Master Shan Dao, this is the first time we meet! Master drank the spirit tea I poured for you so readily. Aren't you afraid that I will poison the tea? "Wang Changsheng said with a faint smile.
"Amitabha, since you can say this, it shows that you are not that kind of person. Moreover, people who do evil, even if they usually hide it well, will inevitably have a trace of evil aura on them. I saw that you didn't have any evil aura on you, so I was relieved to drink this tea. Finally, you drank this tea first. Isn't it to tell me that this tea is not poisonous?" Monk Shan Dao explained word by word.
"Haha, Grandmaster is right. But no matter what, just Grandmaster's courage alone is enough to make this one admire you," Immortal Wang said with a chuckle.
"There is nothing to admire. By the way, I heard that there are zombies in Wuyuan County of Qu State. Have you heard any rumors?" Monk Shan Dao shook his head and said with a moved expression.
"Zombies? I seem to have heard of some, but I don't know the specific situation. I wonder if master can tell me in detail. "Wang Changsheng's face changed slightly when he heard this. Isn't Wuyuan County of Qu State the place where the Zombie King appeared? Could it be that the Zombie King came out to harm the world?
"In fact, this is not a secret. It seems that two months ago, two Zombie Kings suddenly appeared in Wuyuan County of Qu State. Not only did they kill several Core Formation stage cultivators, but many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were also killed. Fortunately, a senior of the Firestorm Way happened to pass by Wuyuan County of Qu State and injured the two Zombie Kings with a great magical power. Unfortunately, in the end, they escaped underground." At the end, Monk Shan Dao's face was full of regret.
"I see. But this matter has been so long. Master mentioned this matter. Could it be that the two Zombie Kings have appeared again?" Wang Changsheng suddenly realized. His expression moved and he asked curiously.
"That's not it. It's just that I heard that a lot of children went missing here. I'm worried that the two Zombie Kings ran here to harm the world."
"It shouldn't be! Even if the two Zombie Kings want to replenish their vitality, they should catch cultivators. Why would they catch those mortals? Moreover, I'm a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, comparable to hundreds of mortals. If the two Zombie Kings really appeared nearby, I'm afraid that the first thing they would do is to attack me! Moreover, the blood essence of young adults is much more vigorous than that of infants. If they want to catch them, they should catch young adults! The disappearance of children is most likely caused by human traffickers. "Wang Changsheng shook his head and said indifferently.
"Before I met you, I had some doubts. But after hearing what you said, I can be sure that it's not the Zombie Kings, but it may not be the human traffickers either."
"Whether it's the human traffickers or not, the local government will investigate. Why? Do you want to interfere in this matter? "Wang Changsheng asked curiously.
"If it's really the human traffickers, I naturally won't interfere. But if it's demons and ghosts, I may have to interfere." Monk Shan Dao's face became serious and he said in a deep voice.
