I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

More than a month passed quietly.

Prefect Zhang still hasn't been able to find out the real culprit behind the death of his beloved son.

This long search and waiting, like adding fuel to a raging fire, made Zhang Fuyin's already anxious mood even more agitated and restless.

As time went by, his temper became more and more violent, and he would punish his subordinates with either harsh criticism or even beatings.

Under such a shadow, Zhang Fuyin's subordinates lived in fear, treading on thin ice every day, and were miserable.

street.

Teams of city defense soldiers were all armed to the teeth and marching in a hurry.

Ali rested her chin on Yan Xiu's head and looked at the group of soldiers with confusion in her eyes.

"Brother Yan, where are they going?"

Yan Xiu gently pinched her soft cheek, his eyes revealing doting and smiles, and he laughed.

"You forgot that the only son of Prefect Zhang was found dead in the wild recently. After such a long time, the murderer has not been found. Maybe he is going to search somewhere again."

Upon hearing this, Ali tilted her head and said "Oh", with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

She is still young, and her head cannot accommodate too many troubles and complexities of the world.

She just used her clear eyes to look curiously at this world full of unknowns.

Just as Yan Xiu and A Li were playing and bickering, immersed in laughter, a figure came running towards them at the corner of the street as fast as the wind.

Xu Guo's face was flushed and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

He rushed to Yan Xiu, panting, his expression revealing an anxiety that was difficult to conceal.

"Master Yan, I...I..."

He stammered, his voice trembling slightly, and he was obviously very anxious.

Yan Xiu frowned slightly when he saw this.

He knew that Xu Guo was a calm person and would never lose his composure like this unless it was an emergency.

So he signaled Xu Guo to take a breath first.

Xu Guo took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner panic, and his voice was still trembling when he spoke.

"My mother's condition has worsened!"

Hearing this, Yan Xiu's brows instantly frowned.

He grabbed Xu Guo by the collar, and his figure blurred in an instant.

Immediately, as if a gust of breeze passed by, the two disappeared from the spot.

Only Ali was left standing there, staring with wide eyes at the place where the two people disappeared, her heart full of surprise and curiosity.

Bluestone Lane.

Xu Guo only felt a flash before his eyes, and the next moment he appeared in front of his own door.

He didn't have time to be surprised and pushed the door open.

Mother Xu lay quietly on the bed, her face as pale as paper, her brows furrowed, as if she was enduring endless pain.

Her body kept shaking, as if she was surrounded by a cold ice cave, and every inch of her skin revealed a biting chill.

Xu Guo's heart tightened and he hurried to the bed, holding his mother's cold hand tightly.

"Master Yan, I followed your instructions and kept the talisman with me all the time. Why did my mother's condition get worse?"

He looked up at Yan Xiu, his eyes full of anxiety and confusion.

Yan Xiu also frowned when he saw this.

The talisman he gave to Xu Guo contained a trace of his own spiritual power, which should be able to suppress the evil spirit in Xu's mother's body.

But judging from the current situation, it seems to have no effect.

Yan Xiu looked at Xu's mother lying on the bed, then took out the talisman folded into a triangle from under her pillow.

Seeing this, Xu Guo's eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief.

"Impossible, this is impossible, I clearly told mother to wear it close to her body..."

He muttered to himself, his expression dazed and confused, obviously unable to accept the facts before him.

Yan Xiu sighed softly, and his mind became somewhat clear.

He more or less understood why Xu's mother did this.

After all, in the eyes of some parents, even if the facts are right in front of them, they still stubbornly stick to their beliefs.

This common problem often becomes more prominent in older people.

Xu Guo hurriedly put the talisman on his mother, but heard Yan Xiu's heavy sigh.

"That's too late."

These three simple words hit Xu Guo's heart like a heavy hammer, causing him to become instantly confused.

He fell to his knees in front of Yan Xiu with a thud, and banged his forehead heavily on the ground.

"Master Yan, I know you have great powers, please save my mother!"

Xu Guo was in tears, his voice filled with endless pleading and despair.

Yan Xiu remained silent, turned around and walked out of the house, looking up at the couplet hanging next to the door.

In just over a month, the color of the couplet became deeper and deeper.

The darkness not only greedily devoured the surrounding light, but also ruthlessly took away the last bit of life in Xu's mother's body.

Yan Xiu returned to the house.

He gently helped the distraught Xu Guo up.

"Don't worry, with me here, Madam Xu will be safe." He comforted her.

Then Yan Xiu came to the bed and lightly tapped with his fingertips.

In an instant, the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to be summoned and rushed to his fingertips, gradually condensing into a drop of crystal clear liquid.

The liquid sparkled brightly at the fingertips, like a star, illuminating the entire inner room as bright as day.

Xu Guo was stunned when he witnessed this magical scene, and his mouth opened wide involuntarily.

Yan Xiu bent his fingers slightly and flicked lightly.

The drop of crystal liquid condensed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth slowly merged into Xu's mother's forehead.

As the spiritual fluid seeped in, the paleness on Xu's mother's face quickly receded like the tide, and was replaced by a healthy and rosy glow.

Seeing this scene, the joy in Xu Guo's heart surged like a spring. He was about to step forward to check, but was stopped by Yan Xiu.

"Be patient, the evil spirit in Madam Xu's body has not yet been completely driven out."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu's mother suddenly coughed, and a ball of black evil air instantly slipped out of her mouth.

When the evil spirit saw that it was forced out, it immediately tried to escape.

Yan Xiu's eyes suddenly focused, and then he clenched his fist in the air.

Suddenly, the lingering dark evil energy was firmly captured in the palm of his hand.

Then Yan Xiu just squeezed it lightly, and the evil spirit disappeared like morning mist meeting the sun, vanishing into the void and ceased to exist.

Only then did Xu Guo speak in surprise and doubt, and his words could not hide his urgency.

"Master Yan, is my mother safe and sound now?"

Yan Xiu nodded slightly.

Xu Guo hurried to the bed and looked at it carefully.

Madam Xu's face was ruddy at the moment, and her breathing was steady and even, as if she had fallen into a deep and peaceful dream.

Seeing that his mother was safe and sound, Xu Guo felt relieved and his joy was beyond words.

"Thank you Master Yan for saving my life!"

Yan Xiu waved his hand and asked, "Besides you, how many other people have put up the couplet on the door of your house?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Guo looked thoughtful.

"Well...to be honest, I'm not entirely sure either," he answered honestly.

"But Fanyin Temple has a long-standing reputation, and there is an endless stream of devout men and women coming here every day to burn incense and pray for blessings."

"If this couplet is really harmful, I'm afraid many people have already fallen into its trap."

If the couplet was just an ordinary thing, Yan Xiu might not care too much about it.

However, the aura it exuded was so strange that even Yan Xiu felt it was quite weird.

"It seems that we have to go to this Fanyin Temple."
