Chapter 11: Demon-Suppressing Army
On the streets of Lin'an City, passers-by were walking in a hurry, without the usual relaxation.
Most of the pedestrians on the road were people from all walks of life. In the past two days, the demons had become more and more rampant, and people in the county were in panic. Especially after nightfall, the people were frightened.
On the street, a young man in white was walking on a white horse. On the horse sat a girl holding a candied haws in her hand, followed by a middle-aged man.
The scene in front of me attracted a lot of attention, because the young man leading the horse was extremely handsome, while the girl on the horse was wearing ordinary clothes and had a dark and thin figure.
"Hello..."
A shout came, and Li Fan looked up and saw a head sticking out of the window on the second floor of the restaurant next to him. It turned out to be the old divination expert.
"Grandpa Taoist Master." Ah Qi also saw the old Taoist and shouted happily.
"It seems that the Taoist Master has defrauded a lot of money again." Li Fan looked up at the old Taoist and smiled.
"Not much, just enough to drink." The old Taoist said with a smile: "Would you like to come up and have a drink?"
Ah Qi looked at his father. Yang Kui hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Taoist Master, we have to go on a journey, so we won't accompany you."
With that said, he looked at Li Fan again and said: "Brother Xiaofan, I have asked you to escort me all the way. Let's go on our own."
"Would you like to give me a ride?" Li Fan said.
"I have troubled brother Xiaofan for a long time." Yang Kui was a loyal man, and Li Fan had already saved his father's life and did not want to trouble anyone anymore.
"Ah Qi, come down." Yang Kui stretched out his hand to his daughter on horseback.
Ah Qi looked at Li Fan with some reluctance, and saw Li Fan smiling and saying: "You are walking too slowly with Ah Qi. This horse has a good walking distance. It should not take long to leave the city."
He didn't mind offending the Chen family, but it was better for Yang Kui and the others to leave the county.
"Brother Xiaofan..." Yang Kui wanted to say something, but Li Fan waved his hand and said: "Brother Yang, Ah Qi calls me brother, the horse is for her."
Yang Kui glanced at his daughter, then knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Li Fan.
"Brother Yang, you don't have to be like this." Li Fan stretched out his hand to pull him up. Yang Kui's eyes were red and said: "Brother Xiaofan, I'm afraid it will be difficult to repay your great kindness in this life. If there is an afterlife, I would rather be a cow or a horse."
"Serious words." Li Fan said: "Take good care of Ah Qi."
"Yes." Yang Kui nodded heavily and said to Ah Qi: "Ah Qi, say goodbye to brother Xiaofan."
Ah Qi's eyes were a little red, and he said reluctantly: "Brother Xiaofan, can Ah Qi come find you when he grows up?"
"Of course." Li Fan said.
"Where can Ah Qi find you?" the girl asked.
"Li Shan!" Li Fan said casually, causing Yang Kui on the side to feel emotional.
Lishan disciple!
No wonder.
"Lishan." Ah Qi murmured, keeping these two words in mind, and then said with a smile: "Brother Xiaofan, Ah Qi will definitely look for you."
"Okay." Li Fan smiled and nodded.
Yang Kui didn't say much, and raised his hand to Li Fan again, then raised his head and looked at the old Taoist: "Taoist Master, farewell."
After saying that, he also stepped on the horse, hugged Ah Qi, clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and the white horse walked forward.
"Goodbye, Brother Xiaofan." Ah Qi's eyes were red, and he looked up at the window of the restaurant and shouted: "Goodbye, Grandpa Taoist Master."
On horseback, Ah Qi asked: "Dad, where is Lishan?"
"Lishan is the 'highest' mountain in Dali." Yang Kui said softly, and Lishan's disciples led the horses.
Perhaps, this is the most glorious moment in Ah Qi's life.
"Ah Qi, although we may not have the opportunity to repay you in this life, you must remember Brother Xiaofan's kindness. Without Brother Xiaofan, Ah Qi and Dad would not be in this world."
If Ah Qi was abducted by monsters in the Chen family, he would die in the Chen family. Their lives were given by Li Fan.
"Dad, I want to practice." Ah Qi said in a childish voice. In the girl's little head, the figure of Li Fan standing in front of her like a god and demon lingered.
Yang Kui hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said, "Okay."
After the white horse left, Li Fan came to the restaurant, sat opposite the old Taoist, and poured himself a glass of wine.
"Does the Taoist know me?" Li Fan looked at the old Taoist and asked.
"Young man, do you understand the old Taoist rules?" The old Taoist looked at Li Fan with a smile. Li Fan placed a piece of broken silver in front of the old Taoist, and the old Taoist squinted his eyes and put it away.
"I know him, I don't know him either." Lao Dao responded.
"Why did the Taoist priest appear in the Chen Mansion?" Li Fan asked again.
The old Taoist glanced in front of him, and Li Fan handed over another piece of broken silver.
"Opportunity." Lao Dao responded. "What opportunity?" This old guy, is he playing riddles?
The old Taoist remained silent. Li Fan took out a whole ingot of silver from his arms and placed it in front of the old Taoist. The old Taoist wanted to reach for it, but Li Fan did not let go and asked: "Is it enough?"
"That's enough, young hero, feel free to ask." The old Taoist said politely, and then Li Fan let go of his hand and looked at him.
"The old Taoist is getting old and wants to find someone to inherit the mantle. Let's see someone by the way."
"Have you found and seen it?" Li Fan asked.
"I found it and saw it." The Taoist nodded with satisfaction.
"Why do you say that the demon chaos is related to Lishan?" Li Fan continued to ask.
"Listen for yourself." The old Taoist looked inside the restaurant. Li Fan listened attentively and saw that all the people in the restaurant were talking about the chaos of demons.
‘Yesterday, a woman went to the Yamen to report to the officials and identified Fulong Villa. As expected, she found several female corpses. It’s so tragic. This evil beast has been honest for some years, but now he has started to make trouble again. He has over a hundred women to provide him with pleasure. ’
‘So what, this dragon is a big demon, with great abilities. There is even a mountain behind it, so the government dare not move. ’
‘Could it be that Li Shan was behind this matter? Otherwise, how could there be so many monsters in Lin’an County. ’
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
‘Keep your voice down, your life may be at risk. ’
'What are you afraid of? I heard that the Chen family was also attacked by demons last night. They were too rampant. However, people from all walks of life are gathering in Lin'an County, and the demons and dragons are just around the corner. ’
Li Fan frowned. Such rumors appeared in the restaurant, indicating that such news had spread in Lin'an County.
"You heard it too. This is not what I said. No matter what the relationship is, it is inseparable from Li Shan." The old man said with a smile.
"So, the Taoist priest was serious about the divination that day?" Li Fan asked. The old Taoist made a divination for him that day, saying that he and the people around him would be in trouble.
"You are doubting the Taoist's character." The Taoist glared at Li Fan.
"Taoist Master, do you have character?" Li Fan glanced at the old Taoist's bulging bag and didn't know how much money he had defrauded.
"The old Taoist earned it based on his ability." The old Taoist said nonchalantly.
While the two were talking, the restaurant shook, causing the crowd to burst into uproar.
Li Fan looked in the distance and saw a group of mighty figures heading this way on the streets of Lin'an County.
As the earthquake felt stronger and stronger, the crowds on the street retreated to both sides. A chilling atmosphere filled the air, and everyone looked at the approaching figure.
A group of figures wearing jet-black armor were walking on horseback, carrying spears behind them, and everyone was silent.
"It's the Demon Suppressing Army." The crowd in the restaurant was shocked.
"What a strong energy and blood."
In order to suppress demons, the Dali Dynasty established a demon-slaying division and a demon-suppressing army.
The demon-slaying division is all Qi practitioners, while the demon-suppressing army is a warrior, but there are more of them.
The warrior's Qi and blood are strong, and they attack with military formations. Their Qi and blood soar into the sky. When ordinary ghosts and evil things encounter them, they are wiped out in ashes. If it is a demon-suppressing army composed of master warriors, it will be even more terrifying.
It was rumored that the Demon Slayer Division would arrive in Lin'an County before. Now that the Demon Suppressing Army has also arrived, everyone smells an unusual smell. Lin'an County is afraid that there will be chaos.
However, seeing the scene in front of them, the people around them felt relieved. The demon-suppressing army came from Chuzhou City and would be able to suppress the demons.
Li Fan seemed to have something on his mind. Everything that happened in Lin'an County and Lao Dao's words made him vaguely feel that there was a conspiracy hanging over Li Shan.
"Someone is looking for you." The old Taoist said to Li Fan. Looking along the old Taoist gaze, Li Fan saw a figure riding a black horse appearing in the opposite direction of the Demon Suppressing Army. Even in front of the Demon Suppressing Army, The red dress and beautiful face were still eye-catching, and surprisingly it was Li Hongyi.
"Looking for me?" Li Fan looked at the old man in confusion, and saw Li Hongyi sideways avoiding the demon-suppressing army. After the demon-suppressing army passed by, she continued to move forward. When she looked up, she happened to see Li Fan, and Dismount next to the restaurant.
After a while, Li Hongyi arrived at the restaurant and walked straight towards Li Fan.
Li Hongyi came to Li Fan, glanced at Li Fan, and then looked at Lao Dao.
The old Taoist wisely stood up and said with a smile: "The old Taoist will not disturb you two."
As he said this, he packed up his bags and walked out of the restaurant, shaking his head and sighing.
"Miss Li is looking for me?" Li Fan asked.
Li Hongyi nodded, then sat down opposite Li Fan and said, "I want to say sorry to you."
"This matter has nothing to do with you." Li Fan said.
"Since I'm there, it naturally matters." Li Hongyi said: "In addition, I have another piece of news to tell you."
Li Fan looked at the other party and saw Li Hongyi saying apologetically: "The Chen family has asked the Lin'an County officials to arrest you."
Although she also knew that Li Fan must have an extraordinary background, it was a bit troublesome for the government to arrest Li Fan. Although the Lin'an County Yamen could not do anything about Li Fan, the court was behind it.
Moreover, even though they knew Li Fan had a background, the government still wanted him. This matter might not be simple.
