Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 190 189, Yan Tianying's Value!The hidden danger of the spider mother!
The capital city, God's Catching Hall.

Yan Tianying was sitting in front of the desk, and was reading a dossier with a pen. Suddenly, a clerk came in quickly, saluted, and reported:

"Master Yan, a young man who called himself 'Shen Lang' came outside, holding a letter from Master Mu Qingxue and a waist card of Shenchoutang, saying that he was ordered by Master Mu to come to see Master Yan."

"Shen Lang?"

Yan Tianying put down the brush, raised her hand and rubbed between her brows, and said with a smile:

"A little over two months ago, I received a letter from Xiaomu, saying that for our Shenhuntang, we found a peerless genius who hates evil and hatred. It's been two months, has he finally arrived in the capital? Invite him in quickly .”

The scribe should step back, Yan Tianying put down the file, got up and went to a small cabinet, took out tea leaves and teacups, picked up a kettle, put his palm on the bottom of the kettle, just took a few breaths, A pot of cold water becomes boiling water.

He found another bag of pastries in the cabinet, opened the oil-paper package and sniffed it, and felt that it looked a bit spoiled. Yan Tianying frowned slightly, grabbed all the pastries with his big hand, closed his palms, and squeezed it into a fist The size of a ball, the whole stuffed into the mouth, the teeth chewed twice like a steel file, and then swallowed the whole.

Picking up a bit of crumbs on her hands and putting them into her mouth, she poured a cup of boiling water to rinse her mouth, Yan Tianying rummaged through the cabinet for a while, and finally found a pack of decent-looking candied fruit. Only then nodded in satisfaction, took out the small dish and put it on.

After being busy for a while, the scribe's voice came from outside the door again:
"Master Yan, Shen Lang has arrived."

While making tea, Yan Tianying said:
"Please come in."

Soon, the scribe walked in with a tall and heroic young man in white, and a fair-skinned and beautiful woman in black.

It was Shen Lang and Bai Shishi.

"Shen Lang greets Lord Yan! Lord Yan, this is a letter that Lord Mu Qingxue ordered me to submit to you."

Yan Tianying took the letter and smiled heartily:
"There is no need to be formal, sit down and talk, drink a cup of tea first, and eat some candied fruits."

While talking, he sat back on his seat, opened the fire seal, took out the letter and read it, then raised his eyes to look at Shen Lang who was sitting in the guest seat, holding a teacup and drinking tea.

The young man's sitting posture was very upright, his waist was straight, and he sat firmly on the chair. He didn't have the kind of pettiness that people in the officialdom would only dare to put half of their butt against the chair when they met a superior, and was ready to stand up and answer questions at any time.

With a thin layer of short hair, he looked like a monk who hadn't shaved his head for a while.However, the short hair is trembling, coupled with his handsome appearance with sword eyebrows, star eyes, and straight nose, he looks extraordinarily heroic.

The temperament of the whole person is also aboveboard and full of vigor.

Yan Tianying became more and more satisfied with such a heroic and energetic young man, with a kind smile on his face.

When Yan Tianying looked at Shen Lang, Shen Lang was also secretly observing the number one master in the world who was known as "the leader of all heroes".

Calculating from Yan Tianying's practice trajectory, he is at least fifty years old, but he looks like he is only in his thirties.

He was dressed in a plain black robe, and his appearance was not imposing, with a slashed face, a wide forehead, thick eyebrows and thin lips, small eyes, a straight nose, neither ugly nor handsome.

The temperament is also quite ordinary, and the kind smile on his face makes people feel very friendly, as if facing a loyal big brother.

Anyway, Shen Lang didn't see the slightest aura of No. 1 martial arts in the world from him.

But he is also clear that this only shows that Yan Tianying's realm has reached the state of introverted spirit and returning to simplicity, but his own cultivation is still too shallow, and he can't even see a trace of Yan Tianying's horror.

Yan Tianying's temperament was too peaceful.

Even before entering the door, Bai Shishi, who was still trembling and felt that she might cry at any time or even pee her pants, relaxed now, and even dared to look at Yan Tianying curiously while drinking tea.

At this time, Yan Tianying suddenly asked with a smile:

"Who is this girl?"

Startled, Bai Shishi quickly looked away, put down the teacup, put her hands on her knees, lowered her eyebrows, obediently like a primary school student.

Shen Lang replied:

"Master Huiyan, her name is Bai Shishi. She is a suspect who committed the felony of blood sacrifice to the demon god. However, because she assisted me in handling the case and performed a major meritorious service, I deliberately spared her life and brought her to the Shenchao Hall to surrender. .”

"Oh?" There was curiosity in Yan Tianying's eyes: "Did you handle a case on the way to the capital?"

"Yes." Shen Lang put down his teacup and cupped his hands at Yan Tianying: "The case is like this..."

He started with the "Hydralisk" who was seriously injured and dying, and told the details of the case handling process in Luling Mansion.

Of course, there is no need to elaborate on the specific methods used to defeat the Seven Spider Sisters.

He only emphasized two points, one is that Mu Qingxue gave him a "King Kong Indestructible Amulet" consecrated by Venerable Liuli.

Relying on this talisman, in the decisive battle, "Blood Spider", the strongest boss of the Seven Spider Sisters, couldn't beat him with all his might, and his confidence collapsed due to his flesh, and he knelt down and cried bitterly.

The second is that this "King Kong is not bad" amulet also attracted Venerable Liuli who happened to pass by.

Venerable Liuli saw him pleasing to the eye, and gave him a Bodhisattva jade pendant that could bless the spell of "All Beings". It was with this that he sneaked into the Tianxiangshe Manor and exposed the true colors of the spider sisters.

After listening to Shen Lang's narration, Yan Tianying nodded slightly, and did not ask him how he defeated the Seven Spider Sisters with his own strength, allowing him to keep his little secret, and only said happily:

"You haven't officially joined God's Catcher. This case has nothing to do with you, but you still disregarded your personal safety and continued to sacrifice your colleagues. You resolutely devoted yourself to this case, fought wits and courage with the spider sisters, and finally eliminated them one by one. , and arrest the officials corrupted by them one by one. Xiao Mu said that you have a chivalrous heart and hate evil like hatred. From this case, her evaluation of you is not wrong.

"Many geniuses have very different thinking from ordinary people, and they are completely unable to empathize with ordinary people. A few extremely proud geniuses even regard ordinary people as apes or even pigs and dogs, and completely disdain to be with ordinary people.

"I heard from Xiaomu that you are a Taoist genius who comes out every 500 years. Not only that, but the martial arts talent is the only one she has seen in her life. It's rare for a genius like you to maintain a normal heart, and it's rare for a genius like you to be willing to be an ordinary person." Mingbuping blood.

"This kind of disposition is more valuable than your talent in cultivation, wit and bravery. What we, Shenchuangtang, need is exactly your disposition."

Shen Lang smiled humbly:
"Master Yan, I'm so proud. I'm just young and frivolous, young and energetic. When encountering things that don't look right, I always get ahead and don't think much about the consequences..."

Yan Tianying also smiled, and said meaningfully:

"You do things without thinking about the consequences. Xiao Mu also said that you are quite 'lawless'. However, as long as it is the right thing, you can just do it. It doesn't matter if you make a big mess .”

Shen Lang was well aware of what he meant, and knew that Yan Tianying was referring to the fact that he shot Jin Yiming.

And Yan Tianying's guarantee to him was not empty talk.

The emperor's illegitimate son and old lover died directly in the hands of Shen Lang, and the green gloves also died indirectly because of Shen Lang. Shen Lang also cut off a source of income, but he could only offer a reward on the black market. This is obviously Yan Tianying's focus After this matter, the emperor couldn't tear himself apart, and sent out masters to chase and kill Shen Lang with sharp swords and spears.

Afterwards, Yan Tianying carefully asked about the appearance of the "spider mother" statue.

Listening to Shen Lang's detailed description of the image of "Spider Mother", Yan Tianying pondered thoughtfully for a while, and then solemnly said to Shen Lang:
"This matter is not over yet. Didn't Venerable Liuli give you a token and tell you to go find her? Immortal Wanfa and I will take you to meet her in person later."

Daoist Wanfa San Yuzhen, the largest supplier of equipment and elixirs to Shenchuitang, and the magic weapon elixirs that appear endlessly on Mu Qingxue's body, most of them are from Daoist Wanfa.

At the same time, Master Wanfa is also Yan Tianying's confidante.

If it weren't for Yan Tianying's personal relationship, a dignified first-rank real person, he might not really have taken a fancy to the group of "court hawks" in Shenzhutang.

"Well, what does Lord Yan mean by this? Why do you say that this matter is not over yet? And why did you take me to meet Venerable Liuli?"

Shen Lang didn't understand.

The seven spider sisters have all been put to death, and the officials and warriors who were corrupted by them are also dead. If they are caught, the only surviving Bai Shishi also surrendered with him. To say that this matter is not over yet?

Yan Tianying pondered for a long time before slowly saying:

"The 'spider mother' you described, I just saw it in a special place a few days ago. Not only I have seen it, but also Daoist Wanfa, Daoist Wulei, Venerable Liuli, and Dawei Bodhisattva I have seen him, or rather, his projection incarnation.

"That is a very powerful demon god from the outer domain. It feeds on the essence, blood, and primordial spirit of living beings. It is especially fond of the essence, blood and primordial spirit of warriors and monks. Fortunately, due to the laws of heaven and earth, it is temporarily impossible to descend in person.

"In his current situation, there is no way to do anything to you, but you just killed his important believers, and you killed him before his altar, in front of his statue...

"Now you have the most direct causal relationship with him, and you may be retaliated by him at any time."

Shen Lang wondered:

"Since I can't come to this world, how can the Spider Mother retaliate against me?"

Yan Tianying looked at Bai Shishi and said:
"Spider Mother has the ability to enter dreams. The Seven Spider Sisters should be in a dream and be inspired by Spider Mother."

Shen Lang also looked sideways at Bai Shishi, and saw Bai Shishi nodded slightly, and said in a low voice:

"The seven of us are indeed in our sleep, being 'inspired' by the Spider Mother."

Yan Tianying said again:
"More than 150 years ago, when the former dynasty began to see the end of the world and the world was in chaos, the Luling prefecture city was once captured by a believer of a certain foreign demon, who sacrificed 10 people and summoned the projection of the demon to descend. , Underground of Luling Mansion, there is still a little evil spirit left.

"By virtue of this demonic aura, the spider mother found Lin Meng, Bai Shishi and other seven people, and 'inspired' them in her dream——Of course, the seven spider sisters themselves also have certain specialties, which should be due to the special time of birth. When she was born, she was eroded by the breath of demons, and her soul had a little change, so she bonded with the spider mother and was inspired by her dream.

"For ordinary people in this world, the Spider Mother can't actually exert influence. But Shen Lang, you are different. You have killed too many spider sisters, and the karma with the Spider Mother is too deep. He can use this mysterious and mysterious causal relationship to erode you with the nightmare curse." Your primordial spirit.

"So we must take you to Venerable Liuli, and ask her to help you cut off the cause and effect. Even if you can't cut off the cause and effect completely, we must help you build a strong enough line of defense until you can grow to your own level. Against the nightmare of the demon god."

Shen Lang said: "Why do you have to ask Venerable Liuli for help? Daoist Wanfa is also a first-rank Daoist, can't she help me?"

To be honest, although real Liuli is very beautiful, Shen Lang is really worried, she wants to take herself into Buddhism and become a real monk.

The comment of "being destined to Buddha" really made Shen Lang a little dizzy.

Yan Tianying shook his head slightly:
"Although Daoist Wanfa is proficient in all kinds of Taoism and is very good at refining magic tools and elixir, Venerable Liuli is better at exorcising demons."

After finishing speaking, he smiled at Bai Shishi again and said:

"Miss Bai, since you have performed a major meritorious service this time, I will fulfill Shen Lang's promise to you for him. You will also go with us to see Venerable Liuli later, and ask her to help you wash away the yuan. God forbid."

Bai Shishi got up and saluted, gratefully said:
"Thank you, Master Yan!"

However, Yan Tianying restrained his smile again, and said solemnly:
"However, you can be exempted from death, but you cannot escape from death. After Yuanshen is rescued, you will have to serve in the Shenhuntang for 30 years. For all the most dangerous missions, you have to charge forward and retreat behind, just like a dead soldier in the army generally.

"Ninety percent of the rewards and salaries that should have been given to you will be paid to the families of the victims who died at your hands. Are you willing to deal with this?"

Bai Shishi knelt down and kowtowed:
"Master Yan's handling is fair, and the sinner is convinced."

Yan Tianying said again:
"You have to be grateful to Shen Lang. It is he who gave you the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds."

Bai Shishi kowtowed to Shen Lang again:
"Thank you, Master Shen, for helping me turn my back on the shore and saving me from the clutches of the devil. Great kindness will surely be rewarded."

Shen Lang said seriously:

"I'm not trying to repay you generously. If you really want to repay me, you should reform yourself and be a new man. When you serve in the God Catching Hall in the future, save more good people and punish more evil people."

Bai Shishi tapped her forehead heavily on the ground:
"Follow Master Shen's instruction!"

After finishing the business, Yan Tianying took out a jade pendant and tapped it lightly a few times.There was a faint light on the jade pendant, and then it vibrated a few times.

Yan Tianying nodded, put away the jade pendant, and said with a smile:

"Reverend Wanfa will arrive in a quarter of an hour. Then we will go to Ningbi Mountain Liuli Temple together. By the way, Shen Lang, do you know that you were offered a reward of [-] silver dollars in the black market?"

Shen Lang nodded:

"I know. I can probably guess who put up the bounty."

Yan Tianying smiled and asked:
"One hundred thousand silver dollars is enough for some fourth-rank warriors and even monks to take risks. Are you afraid?"

Shen Lang thought for a while, and said seriously:

"It's a lie to say that I'm not afraid. But... this is also a kind of tempering, a spur for me. Those warriors and monks who came to kill me in order to offer rewards and take risks, I use them as a sharpening stone. No way, I can also Like the biggest reward on the black market, increase the reward from one hundred thousand to one million."

Yan Tianying laughed:
"Not bad, have ambition!"

Shen Lang also laughed twice, and asked curiously:
"By the way, who is the target of the biggest reward on the black market?"

Yan Tianying smiled and said:
"It's me. The second-ranked order worth 95 silver dollars is the Dragon King of the Seven Seas. Of course, I believe that with your talent, the reward amount may exceed me and the Dragon King of the Seven Seas within ten years."

"..." Shen Lang blinked and laughed, "I don't dare to think about that..."

Now change the subject:

"Master Yan, I don't know where Miss Mu is now?"

Yan Tianying sighed:
"The case in Yingzhou is very troublesome. She estimates that she will stay in Yingzhou for another two or three months, and she may not be able to return to Beijing until the Chinese New Year."

After a pause, he solemnly said:

"Don't meddle in the case of Mr. Ying Guo. After the hidden dangers in your body are resolved, you can go to the Imperial Capital Taoist Academy to study hard, and focus on improving your cultivation first."

After chatting for a while, there was a sound of light footsteps outside the door, and a plainly dressed woman in Tsing Yi walked in lightly.

It was Yan Tianying's confidante, Chang Yuzhen, the real man of Wanfa.
