Yinshan Record

Chapter 59 Zhongshan Revealed
Feng Xingbu ran his finger across the topographical map of Shanyin and Guobei counties.

"In Guobei County, the imperial court's intention is to leave the Yin-Yang Dharma King alone for the time being. Lin Jiansheng, the censor who is traveling with me, has already met with the Yin-Yang Dharma King and Madam Xue, and they will not be making any moves this time."

"This time, we will only exorcise demons, not catch ghosts."

Eunuch Feng emphasized the map with his finger.

"Thunder and rain, are they not divine favors? The court allows them to become monsters so they can gather in the mountains and forests. If the court doesn't allow them to become monsters, they should all be hung up like that snake demon."

"There are three monsters on Xuanshan that we must not let go. The first is the Black Mountain Monster. The second is Lord Dushan. The situation at Kulin Temple may seem lively, but it is irrelevant to the overall situation."

Shi Chibao was still a little confused when he heard this, but Su Che understood what it meant.

The slightest disturbance in Shanyin County was already anticipated by the imperial court.

Being in the thick of it all, and with information from both Zhongshan Society and Little Fox, I could barely guess what was going on.

The Black Mountain Monster has been stirring up trouble, and Lord Dushan has some connection with the Buddhist sects of the Western Regions.

On the surface, the imperial court had been ignoring Shanyin and Guobei, but once it took action, it realized that the crux of the problem lay with the Black Mountain Monster and the Lord of Dushan.

"Our mission this time, with Imperial Censor Lin, is to wipe out the evil spirits near Shanyin County."

Shi Chibao was a little puzzled. Didn't he just say that there were three monsters that couldn't be let go? Why did this Eunuch Feng only mention two?

"Chief of the Imperial Guard Shi."

"The subordinate is here."

"The changes at Kulin Temple will naturally attract a group of unorthodox people to watch the excitement and seek opportunities. You take the Imperial Guards and make some moves to clear the area."

"Your Majesty, take your orders."

"Go ahead and do it, Su Lixing. You stay by my side and handle the official documents."

"I humble my duty and obey my orders."

Su Che quickly agreed.

After making the arrangements, Feng stared blankly at the map in front of him, as if trying to find some remarkable clues within it.

Shi Chibao was a little embarrassed and stood up to bow to Eunuch Feng.

"Eunuch Feng, if there is nothing else, I will take people to do the work. Please rest assured that we will clean up the Jiangyin area."

Feng nodded noncommittally.

Shi Chibao didn't say much and simply accepted the order and left.

As soon as he stepped out of the camp gate, the withered-looking Eunuch Feng seemed to come to his senses, and a smile bloomed on his face.

"Has Sanlang met with Immortal Yu Lizi?"

"Yes, Master Wei has already accepted me as a disciple."

Su Che remembered that before he took office, he paid his respects to the elder in the palace. This Eunuch Feng was by his side and was definitely one of his own.

"That's good. Huang Tiandao is the leader of the Taoist sect in this era. There are seven immortals in the sect. The cultivation level of the sect leader is even more mysterious and unpredictable. I don't know if he is at the second or first grade."

Grandpa Feng sighed, as if he had finally let go of something on his mind.

"rise."

He raised his left hand, clenched his fist, and unleashed a powerful fist intent that completely enveloped the surroundings.

"There are some things that are inconvenient to say, but since my innate fist energy isolates the inside from the outside, I can speak freely here."

The innate qi of the fifth rank of martial arts, the "Knowing Destiny Realm," is the condensation of a martial artist's will, each possessing unique and wondrous uses.

"Has the page sent by White Deer Cave been eliminated?"

Su Che nodded: "They've already been killed." "That saved us some trouble."

Feng Buxing nodded: "Originally, Master Su's idea was to pin a crime on them, but now it saves trouble. Since you are Huang Tiandao's disciple, whether you are a registered disciple or an inner disciple, Bailudong will not take any further action."

Feng Buxing raised an eyebrow: "Sanlang, as the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. We don't need to rush into a fight with Bailudong."

"Master Yu Lizi has already set off to settle scores with them," Su Che reported. "That person died quite cleanly. I asked a friend who is a demon to help me with the killing. If there's any connection, it shouldn't be traced back to me."

"But Eunuch Feng, what about the matter in Shanyin County..."

"You don't need to worry about that. The situation in Shanyin County has been on the radar of the imperial court for a long time. They have been keeping an eye on this place since the beginning of the dynasty and have already developed a complete strategy to deal with it."

Feng Xingbu stood up from the folding chair and gazed at the Xuan Mountain on the other side.

"The imperial court is just setting up the stage; others are performing the show. We should just watch and see."

Su Che nodded.

If Feng doesn't want to say more, then he won't say anything.

That makes sense. The old lion was no nobody. He was a third-rank immortal master and a national advisor. His whereabouts and whereabouts could be kept secret for a while, and he could withstand the continuous investigation by others for hundreds of years after his death.
It's likely that everything has already been thoroughly investigated and removed.

Su Che even suspected that there might still be his remains in the heart of Xuan Mountain.

"We should be wary of some江湖人 (jianghu people). These people may not be able to accomplish anything, but they are certainly good at causing trouble. Recently, all sorts of demons and monsters have emerged from the mountains, stirring up trouble. For example, there is an organization called Zhongshan Society, which is particularly audacious. They even dared to force their way into the Censorate."

The imperial court even knew the name "Zhongshan Meeting".

What happened to the supposedly secretive and evil organization?

"And I've heard that the Buddhist sects in the Western Regions are also making moves. These are turbulent times..."

Feng looked at Su Che.

"Why does the Third Young Master look unwell?"

"Although the old injuries have basically healed, my qi and blood are still somewhat weak," Su Che sighed sincerely. "And I haven't been resting very well lately."

Since arriving in Shanyin County, I haven't had a single peaceful night.

"The main problem is that I'm not used to living in the county government office," Su Che said. "I plan to rent a house in Shanyin County first."

Feng nodded.

County government offices across the country are generally in poor condition. The main reason is that the county magistrates have no desire to repair them.

We're all just temporary officials; we might end up somewhere else after a while. Instead of wasting money on the county government, we might as well pocket it first.

The county magistrate and registrar who are actually stationed here are all local strongmen with families and businesses. Who would live in the county government office if there's nothing to do?
"I'll have Shi Chibao transfer some of the assets confiscated from the Jiang family to you later." Feng Buxing looked at Su Che: "You can't afford to burn out like this. Sigh, didn't the Second Young Master send any of his capable men over here?"

“I refused. After much painful reflection, I realized that while the previous events were indeed orchestrated by others, they were also a consequence of my own unrestrained behavior. I deserved this retribution.”

"Alas, the Third Young Master has learned his lesson."

Feng Buxing suddenly remembered something: "Third Young Master, are you still practicing the 'Dingtian Jun Sword' that Master Su gave you?"

"Yeah, I haven't practiced much."

Su Che spoke the truth: the Ding Tian Jun Sword was indeed somewhat boring to practice. Compared to the Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual, which was faster to cultivate and had more wonderful uses, this Sword Palace manual was not very attractive to the Third Young Master Su.

"Since we've run into each other today, then please let the Third Young Master give us a demonstration."

Feng Xingbu dispelled his fist energy and ordered the surrounding Dark Cloud Guards to bring him a long sword commonly used in the army.

"Third Young Master, please."
