Chapter 85: The Dark Blade Demon
The black smoke dissipated, revealing the figure of a child falling down.
The little golden Buddha in its arms also rolled to the ground.
[Kill one Yin Dao devil and be rewarded with a Willow Leaf Golden Knife]
[Yin Dao Guizi: The ghost mother's hundreds of sons, grind corpses into knives. ——The Yin child born by the ghost mother, born from the gathering of Yin evil and resentment, extremely Yin and evil, can eat Yin corpses into knives, kill souls and trap spirits. 】
After using the Yin Lei Fu to snatch a head, Jiang Zhou watched as the ghost and god atlas unfolded, which included the true spirit of the knife-grinding boy.
Now is not the time to look at this thing, so take back the catalog for now.
At this moment, You Xu looked at Jiang Zhou in surprise, then immediately untied his demon-binding chains, shook his hand, and rolled up the small golden Buddha on the ground.
Tie it tightly and hold it in your hand.
There was a gloomy look in his eyes.
Jiang Zhou also looked at the little golden Buddha.
When he saw this thing, he finally understood why he had seen the word "unclean" on the big bronze Buddha just now. This small golden Buddha was that unclean thing.
Hidden in the bronze Buddha, its aura was faintly entangled with the bronze Buddha's Mahārāshtra Samādhi and was obscured by the even richer Mahārāshtra aura.
You Xu suddenly turned furious and shouted, "Bring Dou Anhe here!"
The demon patrol guards brought the frightened Dou Anhe to the front.
You Xu's face was filled with chills: "Dou Anhe, tell me the truth, what's going on?"
"Your Excellency is innocent!"
Dou Anhe immediately started to cry: "I really don't know what's going on!"
"I have always worshipped Buddha. This temple is where I usually worship Buddha. I brought this golden Buddha back and have been worshipping it for several years. I never knew there was a demon hiding inside!"
You Xu said coldly, "Oh? You invited him back? Can you tell me which Zen temple did you invite him from?"
Dou Anhe's expression faltered slightly, and he stammered, "This, this... is not a Buddhist temple, but just a wandering monk who came to beg for food a few years ago. I have always been a Buddhist, so I invited him into my house and prepared a fine meal to entertain him."
"Perhaps the monk was grateful for my kindness and said he would invite a real Buddha statue into my house to protect my family and bring me blessings and good fortune."
"Although I didn't believe in it, I still built this big Buddha statue out of respect for the Buddha. The monk sat in front of the Buddha and chanted for a day and a night, and then said that the real Buddha had entered the house."
"I didn't take it seriously at first, but since then, things have been going smoothly and my business has grown bigger and bigger. Only then did I believe what the monk said."
"But who knew... who knew there would be a demon hiding in here?!"
Dou Anhe cried out with a sad face: "Sir, I am really wronged!"
Although what he said seemed reasonable, the coldness on You Xu's face did not fade at all.
Instead, it feels even colder.
"hey-hey……"
He sneered twice from between his teeth: "Okay, you don't want to say it, right? Someone come here!"
"Drag him away, and take him back to the Sujing Division later, and let the brothers in the torture room treat him properly!"
"yes!"
"It's unfair, sir! It's unfair!"
The two demon patrol guards responded by carrying Dou Anhe and dragging him out regardless of his desperate cries.
"Humph, you are stubborn!"
You Xu snorted angrily.
"The Sujing Division is so majestic."
A cold and stiff voice came from outside the door, and Dou Anhe, who had just been escorted out, was quickly stopped again.
The one who pushed them back was a middle-aged official wearing a tall hat, wide sleeves and a green robe. One could tell from his attire that he was a civil servant.
There were several officials following behind him.
You Xu frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Lu Keyan, a civil official."
The visitor just glanced at him indifferently, then looked around the Buddhist hall, not taking You Xu and the room full of demon patrol guards seriously.
A trace of anger flashed in You Xu's eyes, and he shouted to the demon patrol guards outside: "The Sujing Division is investigating a case. Anyone who dares to trespass will be punished with the same crime. Don't you know?"
The demon patrol guards said in fear: "Captain..."
"Alright, stop showing off in front of me."
Lu Keyan said calmly: "I have received a complaint from the people that someone has harassed the people without reason and entered their homes without permission."
"I have no control over your demon extermination work at the Sujing Division, but you have no evidence and are making such a fuss, disturbing the people in the countryside under my jurisdiction. I will not tolerate you."
You Xu snorted coldly, "Humph! Common people? This man colluded with demons, kidnapped and killed many innocent children, and even dared to privately hoard incense and ghost money, causing trouble in both the Yin and Yang worlds. Do you still want to stop this captain?"
Lü Keyan said with disdain, "Whether it is true or not is still up for debate. This person is not a demon. Without evidence, you cannot take him away. Even if it is true, he is a citizen under my jurisdiction. You, the Sujing Division, have no right to convict him."
He waved his hand and said, "Come on, take him back to the government office."
Several officers behind him were about to step forward and snatch Dou Anhe from the demon-patrolling guards.
He pointed at the small golden Buddha in You Xu's hand and said, "And you, this thing belongs to the common people. You can't take it away without any proof. Put it down immediately!"
You Xu shouted angrily, "Let's see who dares to move! Listen up, demon patrol guards! This man is colluding with demons, his crime is unforgivable. Anyone who dares to move will be treated as a prisoner robber and will be killed without mercy!"
He was extremely angry at this moment.
Although he had already guessed that this case involved a huge number of people, he was still wary.
But I didn't expect someone to jump out so quickly.
When the time comes, he still has to maintain the dignity of the Sujing Division.
If he gives in on this matter, Su Jingsi will become a laughing stock.
Jiang Zhou watched quietly at the side and was quite surprised by You Xu's reaction.
I didn't expect that this old man would have such a tough side.
He had no intention of forcing himself to step out, and there was no room for him, a Demon Patrol Guard, to step out here. Like everyone else, he watched quietly, waiting to see how You Xu would respond.
Lu Keyan said sternly: "You dare!"
He opened his eyes and pointed at You Xu, with a righteous and awe-inspiring look: "How dare you, a mere warrior, be so presumptuous in front of me? For what you did today, I will definitely report you to the governor and punish you for disturbing the people, slandering them, and disrespecting your superiors!"
As this person spoke, a layer of brilliance suddenly appeared around his body.
Jiang Zhou only felt that the air pressure in this Buddhist temple seemed to be low, and a vague sense of majesty made it difficult for him to breathe.
Is this the righteous spirit?
Can such a person be upright?
Jiang Zhou suddenly realized that he seemed to have some misunderstandings about the so-called uprightness of scholars.
You Xu's face twitched a few times, his chest heaving violently, and then he said: "You can take the person away, but this thing is an evil shrine, you should know the benefits and disadvantages. If you have the courage, you can come and rob it!"
He knew very well that Dou Anhe was a human being, and before he confessed, there was no evidence and he was just an ordinary citizen.
As an official who governs the people, Lu Keyan's duty is to protect the people under his rule. If someone insists on accusing him of a crime, he really has no position to refute it.
However, the golden Buddha in his hand would never give in.
Lu Keyan's expression was uncertain. He saw that You Xu had picked up his iron whip and was holding it in his hand. The other demon-patrol guards also silently drew out their demon-slaying swords at his signal.
He didn't expect that this Demon-Slaying Captain would be so tough in front of him.
The power of a scholar lies mostly in his pen and his mouth. If a fight breaks out, even though the scholars also practice sword skills and have a righteous spirit, they still cannot be compared with a martial arts master who specializes in the art of killing.
He doesn't bring many people with him, so if a fight really breaks out, he will only suffer.
Knowing that nothing can be done today, taking Dou Anhe away is already the limit.
"Humph, I will report today's incident to you and hold you accountable!"
Lu Keyan made a harsh remark, had Dou Anhe escorted over, and then turned and left.
