Chapter 169: The Ghost Baby of the Year, Zhe Gu's Confession (Subscription Request)
Shi Jian smiled calmly.

In fact, he would not interfere too much with secular warlords like Marshal Long.

After all, this is the way things are in troubled times. If we kill Marshal Long today, Marshal Li will rise up tomorrow.

Of course, having said that, Shi Jian still has his own ideas and needs the cooperation of these so-called generals.

"Mr. Long, there is no need to be so polite. I came here today just to accompany my junior brother for a walk and to meet Mr. Long."

When Shi Jian said this, Marshal Long was struck by lightning.

He knew that Lin Fengjiao was a disciple of Maoshan, but what he didn't know was that Lin Fengjiao was actually the junior brother of Maoshan's master Zhenjun?
This relationship is not simple. Originally, Marshal Long wanted to give Lin Fengjiao a warning and make him give up the idea of ​​targeting his own sister Lian.

Now it seems that Lin Fengjiao's identity is no longer someone he can easily threaten.

After taking a deep breath, Marshal Long's face showed a hint of embarrassment and solemnity.

"So, Taoist Priest Lin is your junior fellow apprentice, I didn't know that.

I hope you won’t blame me…”

Shi Jian nodded.

"Mr. Long, it's alright. Junior Brother Lin is a Maoshan disciple now, but I'm sure he will be a Maoshan elder soon."

After being struck by lightning again, Marshal Long's mouth began to twitch. What Maoshan elder?
How could Lin Fengjiao become an elder of Maoshan?
As far as he knew, every Maoshan elder was a god-like figure.

Marshal Long really couldn't believe that Lin Fengjiao, with whom he grew up, would one day become so valuable.

I thought that as the commander-in-chief of a province, with tens of thousands of soldiers and countless money, I was powerful enough.

But I never thought...

Hey!
Compared with the elders of Maoshan, he, the commander-in-chief of a province, is really nothing.

That’s the elder of Maoshan!

In troubled times, there are god-like beings who no longer care about money and worldly things. As for power, it is even less important than the so-called immortality.

However, while Marshal Long felt bitter, he also felt a little comforted.

Since Lin Fengjiao is going to become an elder of Maoshan in the future, it means that Lin Fengjiao will never be able to compete with me for Lianmei in this life.

This is a blessing in disguise...

Shi Jian caught all the changes in Marshal Long's expression. Knowing that the other party already had a clear understanding of the identity of his junior brother, Shi Jian did not intend to say anything more.

All in all, as the head of Maoshan and Lin Fengjiao's senior brother, it is understandable that he tried to save face for Lin Fengjiao.

Shake his head.

Marshal Long tried hard to force a smile.

"I see. Then I would like to congratulate Master Lin!"

Seeing the other party's face, which was eager to show off to the extreme at the beginning, suddenly changed to this.

Uncle Jiu was not stupid either. He knew that his senior brother was supporting him.

While feeling moved, a sense of heroism also rose up in my heart.

Yes!

He is not an ordinary person, but the future elder of Maoshan, and may even become the next great elder of Maoshan. How could he lose the authority and majesty that a superior should have in front of a marshal in a small provincial capital?

With a calm smile, Uncle Jiu seemed a little more composed at this moment.

"You're too polite, Marshal Long."

The interaction between the few people made the atmosphere quite weird.

Marshal Long was afraid of Shi Jian, the head of Maoshan, so he did not dare to show any disrespect from beginning to end.

Until one person appeared...

Da da da……

As the sound of heels hitting the wooden floor was heard, Marshal Long and Uncle Jiu both looked towards the source of the sound.

With just one glance, Uncle Jiu recognized that the person was his childhood sweetheart, Lian Mei.

They looked at each other, and Lianmei seemed to be evasive. Now, she was a wife and pregnant, so it was impossible for her to have any unclear relationship with Lin Fengjiao.

So after taking a glance, he looked away and avoided her.

"Feng Jiao...Master Lin, long time no see!"

When they heard the word Feng Jiao, Uncle Jiu and Marshal Long were both trembling in their hearts, but soon the arrival of Taoist Lin made Marshal Long smile even more.

As for Uncle Jiu, his heart sank, but he remained calm.

"Sister Lian, you and I haven't seen each other for twenty years."

Lianmei's movements are graceful and gentle, and she is more attractive than Nianying.

No wonder Marshal Long is so cautious. Uncle Jiu feels a little uneasy.

“Master Lin, I asked Nianying to invite you here today just to check on my husband’s health.

I don't know why, but recently he doesn't want to eat cooked food, but prefers Japanese raw fish."

As she spoke, Lianmei was worried, but she did not go downstairs.

Uncle Jiu could see Marshal Long's physical condition at a glance, but at this moment, his eyes were still on Sister Lian.

The reason why he kept looking at her for so long was naturally not because he was obsessed with her, but because there was a strong demonic energy in Lian Mei. With a quick scan with his spiritual sense, Uncle Jiu discovered that the baby in Lian Mei's belly was actually a demon baby.

Taking a deep breath, Uncle Jiu never expected this to happen.

Marshal Long frowned, feeling a little unhappy. After all, anyone would have some complaints if their wife was stared at like this for a long time.

However, due to Shi Jian's presence, Marshal Long did not dare to say much.

However, that crazy look in his eyes made Nianying instantly understand what her brother-in-law was thinking.

"Hahaha, Uncle Jiu, I didn't expect that you and my sister are old acquaintances. I thought I just wanted you to treat my brother-in-law!"

Marshal Long secretly praised Nianying for her cleverness, but Uncle Jiu did not say anything.

His eyes slowly moved away from Sister Lian and turned to look at his senior brother, as if seeking confirmation.

Shi Jian nodded slowly.

In an instant, Uncle Jiu's face turned extremely pale.

After taking a deep look at Lian Mei, Uncle Jiu then looked at Marshal Long, who had already seemed a little unhappy.

“I already know the reason for Marshal Long’s situation, and it won’t take much effort to resolve it.

But Sister Lian, your problem is more serious than Marshal Long's!"

Uncle Jiu's words were very decisive. If Shi Jian hadn't been present, Marshal Long would have turned hostile on the spot.

Who would curse his wife in front of him, the commander-in-chief of a province?
Uncle Jiu also knew that neither Lian Mei nor Marshal Long would believe it, and just when he was about to ask his senior brother to explain, he turned around and found that his senior brother had disappeared from the spot.

"Eldest brother?"

Everyone was shocked.

After all, Shi Jian, a living person, disappeared right under everyone's noses, which was really shocking.

Even though Nian Ying kept her eyes on Shi Jian the whole time, she did not notice when he disappeared.

It was as if she just blinked...

Just as Uncle Jiu was puzzled, a message from Shi Jian's spiritual consciousness entered his mind.

"Junior Brother Lin, I know where this demon baby came from. In three days, I will return with a spirit baby..."

Uncle Jiu was confused, but he understood what his senior brother meant.

The demon baby has occupied Lian Mei's belly for a long time. Even if it is forced out now, it will be useless. The moment the demon baby is forced out, it won't take long for a new spirit baby to enter.

The fetus in my sister Lian’s belly will die instantly!

And the spirit baby...

The only place Uncle Jiu could think of was the Lingying Hall of Junior Sister Zhegu in Ping'an County.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Uncle Jiu no longer worried about why his senior brother left suddenly.

At this moment, we must not let the demon baby notice and force it to come into the world.

Therefore, Uncle Jiu did not mention the matter of Sister Lian just mentioned.

Instead, he began to focus on the corpse poison in Marshal Long's body.

………………………………………………Ping’an County.

Lingying Hall.

Over the years, Zhe Gu has become quite famous in Ping'an County. After all, the identity of a Maoshan disciple cannot be faked.

In addition to the effectiveness of praying for children and asking for rice, Zhe Gu's Lingying Hall was still busy even when night fell.

A stream of light streaked across the sky, and the people in Ping'an County saw it and thought it was a shooting star.

Put your hands together and make a silent wish.

And outside the Lingying Hall.

After Shi Jian fell from the sky, he headed straight for Lingying Hall.

From a long distance away, Zhe Gu, who was asking the people for food, suddenly sensed the aura fluctuations of her senior brother's arrival.

He quickly exited the state of asking questions.

"Dear fellow villagers, something has happened at Lingying Hall and we need you to leave for the time being. I hope you can forgive me."

Zhe Gu asked everyone to leave, but Shi Jian walked towards Lingying Hall step by step.

One hundred meters... fifty meters... twenty meters...

The door creaked open.

Shi Jian pushed open the door of Lingying Hall and walked in slowly, while Zhe Gu had been waiting for half an incense stick.

"Junior sister Zhe Gu, I pay my respects to the headmaster!"

Zhe Gu's big gift seemed quite proper, but that was not the purpose of Shi Jian's coming here.

"Junior Sister Zhegu, we are no longer in Maoshan. Just call me Senior Brother."

"Yes, senior brother!"

Nodding, Shi Jian paced towards the Lingying Hall where the Lingying were enshrined.

Zhe Gu followed Shi Jian respectfully.

Entering the main hall, there are hundreds of spirit infants enshrined in front of you.

The group of spirit infants who usually chirped and loved to play returned to their seats after Shi Jian stepped into the hall, not daring to make any noise.

At this moment, even though Shi Jian had no ill will towards them, they could still feel the oppression that was as strong as the heaven and earth.

Shi Jian's gaze turned to the demon baby statue at the top that was sealed with red lines.

"Junior Sister Zhegu, where is this demon baby..."

The light question sounded like thunder to Zhe Gu's ears.

She looked hurriedly. Was there still any trace of the demon baby's aura in the demon baby statue?
Even the talisman that sealed the demon baby's eyes was broken by someone.

Without a doubt, Zhe Gu knew why her senior brother came here.

Plop.

Zhe Gu was kneeling on the ground, her expression not only panicked but also full of guilt.

Twenty years ago, when she rescued this demon baby, she said that she would not give it the chance to do evil again and would eliminate its resentment.

Twenty years have passed, and Zhe Gu has tried countless methods but has failed to eliminate her evil resentment.

It was only today that we discovered that this demon baby had escaped from the Spirit Infant Hall.

She is to blame for this matter!
"Big Brother, Junior Sister has made a serious mistake. Please punish her!"

Hearing this, Shi Jian shook his head silently.

His purpose was not to punish Zhegu.

"Junior Sister Zhegu, I told you all those years ago that you should not leave any threats behind, and you should kill those who should be killed. Mercy is only for ordinary people.

You are indeed guilty of what happened today!"

Hearing this, Zhe Gu lowered her head even more...

“You know, if this demon baby kills someone, you will not pass the test, Junior Sister.

From now on, you will never be able to enter Maoshan to serve as an elder...

But Junior Brother Lin Fengjiao was able to enter.

You should understand what is more important..."

Hearing this, Zhe Gu finally became emotional.

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Shi Jian. She was afraid that she would never see Senior Brother Lin again.

"Big Brother, everyone is responsible for their own actions. Please find out where the demon baby is and I will go and kill it immediately!"

Mentioning Lin Fengjiao touched Zhe Gu's most sensitive nerve, so she really wanted to kill him at this moment.

Seeing this, Shi Jian smiled, but he didn't let Zhe Gu see it.

He slowly turned his head and looked at Zhegu.

"Junior sister, do you want to know?

It’s okay, I’ll tell you tomorrow…”

After saying this, Shi Jian smiled brightly, as if this incident had never happened, and waved to the group of spirit babies in front of him.

"Little guys, do you want to be reincarnated soon?"

At this moment, Shi Jian became extremely friendly.

The group of spirit infants who were originally frightened were shocked for a moment, but soon left the statue happily, came to Shi Jian and began to circle around him happily.

As for Zhe Gu, she understood that her senior brother's punishment for making her suffer for a night was to punish her.

Therefore, he did not dare to ask more questions and slowly retreated, wondering about the future of this group of spirit babies.

Zhe Gu also knew that it was very likely that her senior brother would personally send them to the underworld to reincarnate!

......................................................

"Master Zhenjun, can we really go to the underworld to be reincarnated?"

In the yard, the moonlight gradually rose.

Shi Jian was surrounded by a group of spirit infants.

At this moment, a clever boy held Shi Jian's arm and asked obediently.

Shi Jian smiled.

The reason why these spirit infants stayed in the Spirit Infant Hall was actually to protect them.

Even though Aunt Zhe can find a family for them to be born into, there are only a few opportunities in a year.

Of course, they can also be allowed to go to the underworld, but on the way there, they are just a bunch of tiny kids and they might be devoured by evil spirits before they can even reach the underworld.

Therefore, it is really difficult for them to reincarnate...

Although Zhe Gu's cultivation level is not low, she is unable to send all the spirit babies to the underworld safely.

There's no way, the ghost won't buy it.

At most, for the sake of Maoshan’s reputation, these spirit infants could be taken to the underworld and the matter would be settled.

Shi Jian touched the little guy who was holding his arm and nodded.

"Of course. I am the headmaster of Mount Mao. With such great power, wouldn't it be easy for me to send you to the underworld to be reincarnated?"

Shi Jian now looked a bit more childish. It was a tragedy for these spirit babies to be born in troubled times.

If I don't come, the number of Spirit Infants in the Spirit Infant Hall will only increase...

"Great, great, we can finally be reincarnated!"

A group of spirit babies were overjoyed, and the atmosphere was particularly warm.

Shi Jian stood up.

Looking at the moonlit night and the starry sky, he took out the seal of the judge of the mortal world from his waist, injected his true energy into it, and threw it out instantly.

In an instant, negative energy filled the air, the void began to tremble, and the gate to the underworld opened!

　Eight thousand words, I'll have a meal and continue working hard
