The sickly boss always wants to get close to her

He was careful and serious, and immediately noticed that something was wrong with Zhu Xiayan.

He is kind and has his own ideas. When he goes to rescue someone, he doesn't forget to check the faces of five people.

Being both smart and lucky, he learned some special talismans during his training outside and immediately thought of drawing them on the sword.

He is truly a teachable kid, and he deserves to be accepted as a disciple by the leader of Qingxiao Sect.

"That's right," Shen Tanqing said, "Find the evil ghost and kill it as soon as possible to prevent innocent people from being harmed."

He looked serious. "The damage caused by a ghost king is enough to affect a city. The evil ghosts are not clear-headed. Once they go crazy, it will cause a catastrophe."

The two of them got off their flying magic weapons outside Panlong County and walked into the city on foot. The soldiers guarding outside the city saw that they were wearing Taoist robes and did not stop them.

Evil spirits are rampant in this world, and people especially respect those who can exorcise evil spirits.

No matter how difficult the world is, life must go on. The streets in the city are still quite lively, with hawking sounds coming one after another. Shen Tanqing looked around and whispered, "Is there anything you want? Uncle Shi will buy it for you."

He thought about how every time his female disciples came back from the mountain, they would buy a bunch of gadgets, chatter together, and look very happy.

Then if I buy her something, will that also make her happy?

Then can the matter of tying her up with the demon-binding rope be written off?

But he never expected that the other party was not interested in those things.

Chu Bainiao looked indifferent, "Uncle Junior, you should change your clothes as soon as possible and rush to Anyang County."

Shen Tanqing walked into a clothing store with her disappointedly. The owner came over to them immediately when he saw them. After Chu Bainiao told him her size, she was taken to the other side.

When Shen Tanqing saw that there were jewelry for sale in the store, he walked over with great interest to take a look. When Chu Bainiao came out wearing a light blue dress, he had already changed his clothes and was standing at the door.

The two men paid the bill and went to buy horses somewhere else.

There were many people in the horse trading area, and although the two men had extraordinary demeanor and others did not dare to stare at them too much, the occasional glances from them still made Shen Tanqing feel uncomfortable.

He went to the stall next to him and bought a white veil hat and handed it to Chu Bainiao. He saw that her eyes were watery and very attractive.

He bent down and put the hat on her head, and tied it tightly with two thin straps using his slender hands.

Sensing that the other party wanted to break free, Shen Tanqing said gently: "Don't move. Look, there are so many people watching us. If we are not close, others will have some thoughts, right?"

Chu Bai Niao raised his eyes and looked at him steadily, with a hint of amusement in his tone, "Uncle Junior Master, what thoughts can others have?"

The three words "Junior Master" were pronounced particularly clearly.

Shen Tanqing paused for a moment as he was tying the laces, then fastened them and the curtain fluttered to the front.

"When you wear a Taoist robe, no one will think twice about it. But if you change into other skirts, you can't be sure. You have to be careful when you go out. Sometimes the human heart is scarier than a ghost."

"Also, Junior-Martial-Nephew Chu...don't call me Junior-Martial-Uncle in public, but call me Brother, so as not to alert the enemy."

Chu Bainiao looked at him through the white curtain, her rosy lips slightly parted, "Okay."

The veil blocked the view of most people, and Shen Tanqing's unhappy mood eased a little.

After leaving the city, the two men mounted their horses and headed towards Yang'an County.

We entered the city at around you time. Overall, the happiness level of residents in Yang'an County seemed lower than that in Panlong County, and the whole city was visibly depressed.

A few vendors on both sides of the street were still hawking their wares.

The Yin energy was visibly hovering in the sky. The two men walked to the area where the Yin energy was strongest and found an inn to stay in.

Chu Bainiao secretly expanded his soul and explored the place slowly and silently.

During dinner in the evening, the two sat in a private room upstairs, listening to the conversation of the diners in the lobby downstairs, while they caught a glimpse of a Tianze Sect disciple leaping past through the curtain.

Shen Tanqing placed the compass on the table, and the compass needle quickly pointed to the northwest.

The compass forged by the Forging Pavilion will accurately point to the place where the ghost energy is strong. When there are two evil ghosts, it will point to the more powerful one.

But at this moment, the direction the compass pointed to was the Xu Mansion, where the ghost aura was lurking.

Chu Bainiao's soul spread over a hundred miles, but found nothing, and some guesses emerged in his mind.

Shen Tanqing placed a talisman on the table and said in a voice transmission: "I will go to investigate the surroundings tonight. You should pay attention to the mansion. If you find anything wrong, burn this talisman and I will come immediately."

Chu Bainiao nodded.

After discovering that Shen Tanqing's presence had disappeared next door at night, she changed into night clothes, opened the window, and sneaked into Xu's house quietly.

The spirit spread out, wrapping the Xu Mansion tightly.

In her mind, she saw that all the people in the Xu Mansion were staying in a room covered with talismans. A middle-aged man in a brocade robe was sitting at the table, and seven concubines were standing on one side with their heads lowered.

Behind them came first the maids and then the servants.

Among the five disciples of Tianze Sect, one was performing a ritual outside the house, using the protective golden light to cover the room full of people.

The other four held talismans and looked around the mansion.

Chu Bainiao's soul quickly located a room that was obviously where a concubine lived.

Her eyes fell on the vase with locust branches in it. At the same time, she began to carefully observe the expressions of the eight "masters" in the room.

The wealthy businessman named Xu had a very calm expression, but if you looked closely you could see cruelty in his eyes. It was obvious that this so-called ghost was related to him.

Then he observed the expressions of the seven concubines one by one. One of them, a woman in pink clothes, pretended to be afraid, but her hands were clasped together, and she was neither trembling nor panicking.

Chu Bainiao flashed and came to the concubine's room. He took out his original Soul-Locking Tower and put the vase into the tower with lightning speed.

He then withdrew his spirit and soul and fled quickly.

She opened the window, stretched one leg in, and just as her buttocks were sitting on the windowsill, she turned her head and met the eyes of Shen Tanqing who was sitting upright in her room.

Capital embarrassment...

She pretended to be calm and closed the window, "Master Junior? What are you doing in my room?"

"I came back and found you weren't there. I was worried so I went to your room to wait for you." Shen Tanqing saw her in her night clothes and looked away calmly. "You went to Xu's house? Did you find anything?"

Chu Bainiao sat in front of him, waved his hand, and placed the Soul Locking Tower on the table, "I put the ghost from the Xu Mansion in here."

The Soul-Locking Tower on the wooden table was surrounded by a ghostly aura and was shaking unsteadily - no evil ghost could crash the Soul-Locking Tower into this state.

Chu Bainiao originally planned to suppress the Soul Locking Tower and send a wisp of his soul to explore inside to see what was going on, but Shen Tanqing was here, so the plan had to be abandoned.

The two looked at each other, and Shen Tanqing said solemnly: "Let's go."

Chu Bainiao climbed through the window again and fled out of the city, wondering how many times he would have to climb through the window in one night.

When we stopped in a random forest outside the city, the Soul-Locking Tower was already shaking and leaning from side to side.

Shen Tanqing quickly set up a barrier, Chu Bainiao threw the tower far away to retract the seal, and billowing black smoke emerged from the Soul-Locking Tower.

The black smoke gathered above the woods and formed two figures.

One big and one small.

The tall female ghost had a haggard face and was skinny as a stick. Her pair of dull, bulging eyes were fixed on the two people on the ground.

The aura she exudes is only at the ghost level, which is not something to be afraid of.

The really dangerous one is the skinny and dark baby ghost next to the female ghost. The baby ghost is crawling on all fours, and is so thin and small that at first glance it looks like a pitch-black little meat ball.

There were only a few strands of fetal hair on his head, and his eyes were not yet open, but he already exuded the aura of a ghost king.

No wonder Zhu Xiayan and the other four looked so dead, it turned out they were a mother and child ghost.

The devil can hide his breath by hiding in the devil mother's belly.

Chu Bainiao silently took her modified long sword in her hand. Shen Tanqing stretched out his hand to stop her behind him and picked up a talisman between his fingers.

"Mother and child ghosts are the most vicious. Be careful. The ghost king is not sane."

"I'll deal with the Ghost King, and you deal with the ghost soldiers."

During the conversation, the ghost mother became filled with resentment and let out long, shrill howls. As soon as she howled, the ghost rushed towards them as if it was stimulated, and its black umbilical cord stretched infinitely in the air.

Shen Tanqing quickly threw out a talisman, and a sky full of talisman papers appeared in front of him in an instant.

As the talisman paper was flowing towards the ghost like a spring, Chu Bainiao crouched down and slid under the talisman paper, his body moving like a butterfly, and rushed towards the ghost mother with his sword raised.

The ghost mother let out a shrill wail. The devil quickly turned around and subconsciously wanted to rescue the ghost mother, but was slowed down by the talisman papers flying in the sky. The talismans on Shen Tanqing's fingertips spontaneously ignited.

I saw thunder rumbling in the sky, and five bolts of lightning with dazzling white light struck the Japanese on their heads.

At the same time, Chu Bainiao took a few steps into the air, raised his sword and stabbed at the fleeing skinny ghost mother.

The ghost mother's forehead was pierced by the long sword. She screamed, resentment spread all over her body, and her figure became visibly thinner.

The ghost mother turned into black mist and escaped. Chu Bainiao chased after her with a sword. There were bursts of thunder and dazzling light beams.

When she pulled out the second sword that had stabbed into the ghost mother's body, the ghost that was burnt by the lightning was tied up with talismans and thrown to the ghost mother's side.

The ghost mother cried and wanted to hug the ghost, but when her transparent skin touched the talisman, wisps of green smoke came out.

She cried miserably, and the wind was chilling.

Chu Bainiao rubbed his arms and walked up to the ghost mother. "What is your relationship with the wealthy businessman surnamed Xu?"

Shen Tanqing put down the fingers that were holding the talisman.

The ghost mother didn't expect that there was still a glimmer of hope. Most of her resentment was dissipated, and her mind became much clearer.

She knelt on the ground and cried, "I beg the two immortals to make a decision for me and my son!"

"That rich businessman is a scoundrel who has taken advantage of his family! His millions of dollars in wealth belong to me! I am the real owner of the Xu Mansion!"

"He tricked me into getting married, and then secretly killed my parents after we got married. He gained my trust and poisoned me to death despite the fact that I was pregnant with his child!"

"I'm not willing to accept this! I have a grudge! Why did that damn man kill my whole family? He took over my property and is still alive and well?"

"Immortal! He has done so many bad things that he deserves to die! You can go check it out and see for yourself! What I said is absolutely not a lie! He colluded with officials and businessmen and killed countless people!"

"I grew up eating the resentment in this city! My son has also become insane because of the resentment in this city!"

"Immortal, please help me and my son. My son and I have never killed anyone. We just want to kill someone named Xu!"

In the original body's memory, there is no such thing as salvation in this world. Many wandering souls wander around the mortal world for a few days and then disappear like smoke.

Some evil ghosts will dissipate after they have taken revenge and their resentment has subsided.

Chu Bai Niao looked at Shen Tanqing who was frowning and thinking, "I plan to find out. If the wealthy businessman surnamed Xu really did something evil, I will let these mother and son ghosts kill him."

She originally thought that Shen Tanqing would not agree, but unexpectedly he nodded decisively.

Perhaps because Chu Bainiu looked too surprised, Shen Tanqing said speechlessly: "Do you think I would mindlessly protect someone?"

Shen Tanqing moved his fingers, and all the talismans that bound the devils disappeared. The devils were probably scared by the thunder, and they didn't want to resist or escape.

It crawled quickly towards the ghost mother on all fours, tore open her belly, and rushed in. With its two extremely small claws, it pulled the ghost mother's belly and restored it neatly.

The ghost mother touched her belly lovingly.

Shen Tanqing raised his chin and said to the ghost mother with a cold face: "Go to the tower where you just stayed."

The ghost mother obediently turned into a wisp of black smoke and flowed into the Soul Locking Tower.

Shen Tanqing stretched out his hand and the Soul-Locking Tower fell into his palm. He reinforced the seal before handing it to Chu Bainiao.

He looked at Chu Bainiao's fair and delicate face under the moonlight, and a beautifully crafted jade hairpin suddenly appeared in his palm.

Shen Tanqing took the jade hairpin, bent down slightly and inserted it into her hair bun.

"Junior Brother Chu, sometimes people are scarier than ghosts," he said slowly, "Many vicious ghosts, if you trace their origins, are the result of the bad karma created by people themselves."

"If this wealthy businessman surnamed Xu really did something so cruel and infuriating, then he deserves to die."

"How many good people can be saved by the death of one evil person?"

"As long as the wicked do not die, the good will be harmed."

Shen Tanqing said this with a serious look in his eyes, as if he believed that this was how the world should be.

Chu Bainiao took a step back after he put the jade hairpin on her. She looked at Shen Tanqing and said with a smile, "I don't think you are biased. I just thought you would say hand it over to the government for disposal."

Seeing her retreat, Shen Tanqing couldn't help but feel unhappy.

Why retreat?

He even wanted to take a step closer.

Restraining his thoughts, he reached out to untie the barrier and asked, "Government?"

"If the emperor is seeking immortality, what is the use of the so-called government?"

"Rather than waiting for them to collude with officials and businessmen, it is better to let the evil ghosts take revenge and grievances."

"As long as she doesn't kill innocent people, I have no objection to taking revenge on them."

"Uncle Junior Master," Chu Bainiao called out, "I think the same as you."

"But if you want to do something like this, you have to disguise yourself, right? At least you can't let people associate you with Tianzemen?"

Shen Tanqing's eyes fell on her lips as she spoke, "I thought so too."

At night, Zhu Xiayan and the other four were still at Xu's house to protect them, so Chu Bainiao and Shen Tanqing went back to the inn to rest.

The next day, the two of them disguised themselves and sneaked into Xu's house openly.

Chu Bainiao took Shen Tan Qingrun into the room where she found the locust tree branch.

Since it was a house where women lived, Shen Tanqing lay on the roof and went in first.

The concubine who was wearing pink clothes yesterday was still awake and was frightened when she saw Chu Bainiao.

Before she could shout, Chu Bainiao set up a barrier and sent a message to Shen Tanqing.

Shen Tanqing climbed in through the window from the roof.

When the concubine saw that screaming was useless, she saw a man and a woman, masked criminals with their faces wrapped in cloth, with only their eyeballs showing.

His eyes rolled back and he almost fainted.
