Chapter 308: Tongjiu Shen

There is a saying that has been circulating in the Xuanyang Jianghu.

Practice the five levels, develop strength, understand the four senses, understand your original mind, understand the nine spirits, and become a martial saint.

Mingxin is already an extremely outstanding existence in Xuanyang.

There are only a handful of people who can reach the level of gods.

The only great master Bai Yuan had met was Yan Shaoan.

The only great masters in the Xuanyang court were Taifu, Taibao, and Xu Dingchun.

Among them, Xu Dingchun was the one who achieved spiritual enlightenment through fishing after returning to Beijing, and his story became famous in Kyoto.

But the old Taoist priest in front of him turned out to be a great master.

Too scary!
Bai Yuan didn't expect that there was such a terrifying creature living in his restaurant.

The old Taoist priest laughed and said, "Are you willing to be my disciple?"

"."

Bai Yuan swallowed his saliva with a gulp and smiled awkwardly: "How can I be worthy of being a disciple of the Taoist priest?"

"I have already said that this is fate and cannot be violated."

Bai Yuan was somewhat tempted, after all, the person in front of him was a great master.

But he finally restrained his impulse and thought calmly. He never believed that he was the son of the plane, and he didn't believe that he could have such a great fortune just because of fate. There must be a hidden story.

The involvement of a great master who has reached the level of spiritual enlightenment is too huge to bear with.

If a pie is too big and falls from the sky, it won't make you full, it will just crush you to death.

The old Taoist priest didn't force it: "You are entangled with the fate of that demon, so you need to be more careful in the future."

"Thank you, Taoist Master."

Bai Yuan thanked him and then returned to his room.

The next day.

Bai Yuan quietly walked down the building and left the city.

He is different from other martial artists. If he keeps practicing martial arts in seclusion, his level will probably regress instead of improve. The only right way is to go out and kill monsters to earn enhancement points.

When he arrived at the city gate, a group of soldiers was already waiting there.

Zhou Lin, the leader of the Lingzhou Demon Slayer Guard, walked up to Bai Yuan and asked, "Sir, do you want to set off now?"

"Leave."

Bai Yuan spoke calmly.

"Yes!"

Zhou Lin immediately turned around, and dozens of demon-slaying guards set off together.

Recently, there were rumors of a demonic disaster in Jingyang Prefecture. The local prefect was unable to suppress it alone, so he wrote a letter requesting the state government to send troops.

Bai Yuan was itching to show off his skills, and although this kind of thing only required Zhou Lin to take action, he still did it himself.

Two days later.

The group arrived at Jingyang Mansion.

Jingyang Prefecture is not far from Huanglong Prefecture, and it was once one of the most prosperous prefectures in Lingzhou.

Bai Yuan and his group were walking on the official road.

It was March, the time of spring, with willow trees swaying in the wind. The trees along the road were all a pleasant emerald green, so it didn't feel boring to walk along.

Zhou Lin rode his bike beside Bai Yuan, deliberately lagging half a body length behind Bai Yuan.

Among all the officials in Lingzhou, he and Yang Fangyu were the most staunch members of the Bai Party, and Kong Sen's faction was naturally the Kong Party.

Even when Bai Yuan was being oppressed the most, he still stood by Bai Yuan without hesitation.

He can be said to be a die-hard fan of Bai Yuan.

In addition, his knowledge and senses were solid enough, and he had become the de facto number two figure in Bai Yuan's faction, second only to Yang Fangyu.

Zhou Lin was riding his horse while talking.

"According to Magistrate Ma, a demonic disaster has occurred in a mine in Jingyang Prefecture. This mine is a place where the prefectural government casts weapons and is of vital importance."

Bai Yuan nodded. In fact, Xuanyang had to defend itself from foreign enemies in all directions except the northern border, and this was also the case in previous dynasties.

That is why we see a huge dynasty being destroyed by a force weaker than itself.

Although a dynasty has a large total military force, most of them are scattered.

For example, Xuanyang has three border armies in the north, south and west. In addition, Jiangnan also has a navy to suppress the sea monsters in the East China Sea. The total number of these troops is as many as one million.

The amount of money that the Xuanyang court spent every year just to support these troops was an astronomical figure.

Fortunately, the Xuanyang court is now at its peak, and it still has enough strength to attack from all sides.

Otherwise, they would have no choice but to send a princess to marry as the previous dynasty did.

Because of this, the demand for weapons is huge.

Jingyang Prefecture in Lingzhou is a place rich in iron ore, so its position in Lingzhou is extremely important.

As they were talking, they saw the city wall of Jingyang Prefecture.

Although the city wall of Jingyang Prefecture is slightly shorter than that of Huanglong Prefecture, it is undoubtedly much stronger than those of the other prefectures.

Huanglong Mansion was built because of the huge Shenfu Gate, while Jingyang Mansion was built simply because of its wealth.
Just as Bai Yuan and his group were about to reach the city gate, a group of people were already waiting there.

The leader was a middle-aged man who looked to be about fifty years old.

The middle-aged man smiled and walked forward: "Master Zhou, I finally waited for you."

As soon as he walked in front of the group, his smile froze.

"Master Bai?!"

As the prefect of Lingzhou, he had certainly met Bai Yuan.

The reason for such an expression was that in the reply he only saw Zhou Lin coming with the Demon-Slaying Guards, but he did not expect that General Bai Yuan would actually take action personally. He was caught off guard and lost his composure.

Zhou Lin: "Lord Bai cares about Jingyang Mine, so he came here in person."

The middle-aged man hurriedly bowed: "Thank you for your concern, sir."

But then he asked with some doubt: "But Lord Bai, you just sent a retainer to assist in the investigation today, why did you come here in person again?"

Zhou Lin frowned and looked at Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan smiled slightly: "Those two are indeed our retainers. I asked them to investigate the situation first."

"I see."

Now that he had received confirmation from the real owner, the middle-aged man no longer had any doubts.

Although Bai Yuan appeared calm on the surface, he was no less confused than the Magistrate Ma in front of him.

Those two people must be Liu Zhengwen and Fang Yong.

They are investigating the matter of the demon species. Could it be that the disaster in Jingyang Mine this time is also related to the demon species?

If so, that's a bit tricky.

Bai Yuan groaned: "Let's go into the city first and understand the situation first."

"Yes!"

Jingyang Prefecture Governor Ma Hong immediately led Bai Yuan and his party into the Jingyang Prefecture Yamen.

The layout of Jingyang Prefecture Yamen is almost the same as that of Huanglong Prefecture Yamen.

After Bai Yuan walked into the hall and sat down, the prefect Ma Hong reported: "Sir, a few days ago, the Chen family reported that there was a mining accident in the Jingyang Mine, and many miners were buried."

"This incident actually happened before, and it was nothing special. But then a group of extremely powerful monsters occupied the mine. The Chen family was no match for them and could not continue to mine the ore, so they asked for help."

"To be honest, I once led a group of people to destroy that group of monsters, but unfortunately they were weak and were injured by the old ape monster who led them."

Ma Hong recounted the whole story of the evildoer.

Bai Yuan nodded.

He also served as the commander-in-chief of Lingzhou's demon-slaying guards, and led his troops to quell countless demon rebellions.

Many monsters have the habit of collecting treasures, and some precious ores often appear in the Jingyang Mine.

It was probably because the mining accident happened to reveal the treasures in the mine, which attracted the covetousness of monsters.

But this seems to have nothing to do with demon species.
Really weird!
