Chapter 53 The Unreliable Yamen
"Plans can't keep up with changes!"

When he came to Longmen Village to hunt ghosts before his departure, Zhang Xuezhou paid a special visit to Taoist Mu.

This led Zhang Xuezhou to ask for a jar for catching ghosts of unknown purpose, and also asked for a magic method for searching for ghosts.

But he didn't expect that Longmen Village had no ghosts at all.

This made his preparations like dragon-slaying skills, which were useless at all.

When catching Wang Baoli, he could only rely on two legs.

In Longmen Village, following Wang Baoli's frantic escape, the scene has turned into a large-scale chase in just over ten seconds.

"It's a pity that those local dogs don't bite the villagers, otherwise it would be much easier to catch the water ghost!"

Rong Tianding let out a sound of dissatisfaction, and ran wildly holding the fairy painting.

As the organizer of the ceremony, he is the indicator of the direction of the arresting wind, but Fan Rong Tianding still rushes to catch ghosts, and the villagers will follow closely behind.

Behind him, Zhang Xuezhou followed closely, even with ease.

"Cousin, if you catch that kid, our business will be over, right?"

Rong Tianding asked out of breath, which made Zhang Xuezhou nod his head.

"When Auntie catches the water ghost, we'll go back to Rongcheng!"

Thinking of the many things that have gone wrong, and finally being able to pester Jia Zhiyuan and let Jia Zhiyuan tutor him, Zhang Xuezhou felt very happy.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves. He is staying at Rong Li's house, so he can do whatever he wants.

Only when many things are in place, can he blend in properly.

Otherwise, Zhang Xuezhou would have to follow him every day to kill pigs.

Butchering pigs was very interesting at the beginning, but Zhang Xuezhou couldn't bear to kill pigs every day.

This is much more difficult than the work of studying every day.

When Zhang Xuezhou thought of the expressionless self with a knife in his hand, he felt that he couldn't sink into a job like butchering pigs.

"catch him!"

Zhang Xuezhou yelled, kicking his legs and feet.

The strong physique brought by Qixue Dan allowed him to run ahead, and kept passing the few leaders.

He patted Rong Tianding on the shoulder, and then ran away in a hurry, following Rong Li closely.

"You can't run away!" Zhang Xuezhou shouted: "The matter of your murder of Wang Fu'an has been known by the yamen. Going back to the yamen and pleading guilty as soon as possible is your way out!"

"I'm not water... to harm Wang Fu'an?"

If the matter of the water ghost can be refuted with reason, but the matter of the latter makes it difficult for Wang Baoli to distinguish.

Wang Fuan’s sheep gnawed nearly half of his family’s winter vegetables, and the other party didn’t pay any money. The village chief only made a symbolic reconciliation. However, who knew that Wang Fuan was frightened and stumbled into the river and drowned.

He didn't kill Wang Fu'an directly, but Wang Fu'an's death had a lot to do with his push.

This is a crime of negligence.

If you go back to Longmen Village for a public trial, you will be burned to death, and if you go to the Yamen for trial, you will be sent to jail, and there is a high probability that you will be beheaded after autumn.

When the incident of the water ghost and Wang Fuan's death accumulated and superimposed, Wang Baoli felt that he had no way out.

"I must escape to another place!"

So far, Wang Baoli has no choice but to run away, and has been running away to another place to hide his name and live.

As for other matters, Wang Baoli has neither control nor ability to control them.

He turned his head and glanced at the pig-killing woman who was following closely behind, and felt that it was difficult to get rid of her.

Rong Li's physical fitness is excellent, far surpassing that of ordinary men.

If he continued to chase, Wang Baoli felt that he was lying on the ground panting, and the opponent could trot around him in circles.

And the opponent doesn't just know how to run.

Seeing the butcher's knife in Rong Li's hand, Wang Baoli's heart skipped a beat, his legs turned in the same direction, and he ran towards a forest.

It was a place where everyone talked about it, as long as there was fear of ghosts and gods in their hearts, it would be difficult for anyone to venture into that dense forest.

In Longmen Village, the forest has a name of 'Hundred Ghosts at Night'.

Even if Taoist Mu came to practice the method, many people were afraid of the dense forest and did not dare to go there.

Wang Baoli's bet is that this kind of place can deter people's hearts.

He is hopeless, but many people are hopeless without him.

As long as he walks this path, there will be fewer and fewer pursuers behind him.

"The water ghost is going back to its lair!"

A faint voice came from behind. Wang Baoli glanced sideways, and saw that everything was as he expected, and the number of villagers in Longmen Village had been greatly reduced.

It's just that behind him, Rong Li held the butcher's knife and scolded while chasing him without any sign of stopping.

This made Wang Baoli feel bitter.

He was already so breathless that it was difficult to speak, and Rong Li could still shout and chase after him in a fit of anger.

"I'm in the woods where the ghosts walk at night, if you chase after me, be careful not to be dragged away by the ghosts!"

Wang Baoli suppressed his breath and yelled at the back. When he was almost slashed by Rong Li, he rushed forward with all his might.

"Hundred ghosts at night? Hasn't Li Xunbu already dispelled the rumors?"

Behind Rong Li, Zhang Xuezhou heard it and then went to the back of his head.

There is no such thing as ghosts walking in the night, this is something that has been confirmed by the Yamen.

Wang Baoli's threatening rhetoric is useless.

Neither he nor Rong Li and the others would believe it.

Following behind, Rong Li and Zhang Xuezhou chased after the criminal who was only a few meters away without the slightest hesitation.

Rong Li is doing it for Rong Timing, while Zhang Xuezhou is doing it for a happy study life tomorrow.

"Damn, you..."

After rushing into the dense forest for [-] meters, Wang Baoli saw the two people who were still chasing closely. He couldn't help but cursed when he stepped on the muddy ground.

But just for a moment, his mind was plunged into darkness.

In the muddy mud, a little red light flew out, and Wang Baoli's body fell heavily into the mud.

In just a few seconds, Wang Baoli was gone.

"Disappeared?"

Rong Li, who followed behind, wiped her eyes vigorously.

She looked around with the butcher's knife in her hand.

But there is no shadow of Wang Baoli in front of him.

A large living person was running ahead, fell into the mud puddle and disappeared in just a few seconds!

Rong Li carefully avoided the muddy place where Wang Baoli disappeared.

She also chopped off a branch with a butcher's knife, trying to test the depth of the silt where Wang Baoli disappeared.

"how?"

Zhang Xuezhou was out of breath and followed, seeing Rong Li stopped, he couldn't help asking.

Although his catching speed was second only to Rong Li, Zhang Xuezhou was more than ten meters away from Wang Baoli. This distance was enough for Zhang Xuezhou to ignore many things, and he could only listen to Wang Baoli's angry voice to judge.

Now that Wang Baoli's voice and figure are gone, Zhang Xuezhou can't help but ask Rong Li for related information.

"He ran and ran in front of me, and when he got there, he stumbled and fell into the mud and disappeared!" Rong Li said.

"There are mud pits where people are trapped in this kind of mountain forest?" Zhang Xuezhou wondered.

"Wang Baoli said that this is a dense forest where ghosts walk at night, are there really ghosts here?" Rong Li wondered.

She has encountered a lot of ghosts recently, such as being unable to open the door of Zhang Xuezhou's room outside the wing for a long time, seeing Mu Taoist almost burned to death, and the ghosts walking in the night and water ghosts in Longmen Village.

Although there are some truths and some falsehoods, one thing after another keeps adding up, and Rong Li has more thoughts than before.

"How can there be a ghost?" Zhang Xuezhou said: "If there is a ghost, I will smash a pot of that ghost!"

Zhang Xuezhou praised the treasure he asked for from Taoist Mu.

After a few days of turmoil, Longmen Village has no ghosts at all, which makes the hero Zhang Xuezhou useless.

He stretched out his hand to throw the wooden Taoist's jar, and when he saw Rong Liwei timidly poke a two-meter-long branch in the mud, he immediately reached out to break the branch.

"It's not right, this quagmire is very shallow, and there is no one hiding in it!"

Before Zhang Xuezhou broke the branch to verify, the branch that Rong Li used to test the bottom had already bottomed out.

The two-meter-long branch has only touched the hard place after being inserted halfway through. It is impossible for this kind of mud pit to swallow people.

"Could it be that there are really ghosts in the land where the ghosts travel at night?"

A big living person disappeared in front of his eyes, and the other person was not trapped in the mud, Rong Li and Zhang Xuezhou looked at each other, and their hearts suddenly jumped.

"I'll check it out!"

Zhang Xuezhou's mana circulated, and the thirteen acupoints and 32 sub-acupoints where the Yin Object Tracking Technique mobilized the mana circulated.

A black shadow appeared in front of Zhang Xuezhou's hand.

Just as he was about to use his magic power to perceive the direction of the search carefully, he saw a golden light flash in front of his eyes.

"It's actually possible to ambush inbound monks in such a place!"

When the voice of surprise came, Zhang Xuezhou felt a pain in his body, and then he was restrained so that it was difficult to move.

In just a short time, the world in front of him expanded rapidly.
