Even the Yamen of Shenqutang has a bit of a festive atmosphere.

The food in the dining hall was more abundant, the lanterns were replaced with red paper, and Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu" were posted everywhere.

However, the Shenhuatang Yamen is always deserted.

Except for civil servants, there are not many arrests at all on weekdays.

There is no other way. During the New Year, all the gangsters and tough bandits have to prepare New Year's goods. Various evil sects also have to offer New Year's sacrifices to their respective evil gods and demons. There are only a few of them, and most of them are lurking in the mountains in the past.

The monsters in the old forest will also cause a wave of disasters due to lack of food in winter, and human villages reserve a large amount of New Year food.

Every year at the end of the year, there will always be a big wave of vicious incidents.

Not only the Shenqiu Hall is very busy, but even the ordinary Yamen police officers, as long as they have a sense of responsibility, will be too busy to stop.

While everyone was busy, Yan Tianying never assigned Shen Lang a task.

Even after Shen Lang recovered from his injury, he took the initiative to ask him for a task, and Yan Tianying told him not to worry, and to just be on duty at the Yamen before the Chinese New Year and just practice.

Three days before the New Year, it snowed heavily.

Shen Lang was sitting in the concierge, drinking warm sweet wine and looking at two little white dumplings flopping in the snow.

During these days in the Shencat Hall, Shen Lang first let out Xiao Zhao, who couldn't take any time off, and then let out Little Tuji.

The goblins of the Dianjing Pen system look just like ordinary little animals when they don't take the initiative to show their magic.

When Xiao Zhao, Xiao Ya, and Xiao Yu were still at a shallow level, even Mu Qingxue couldn't see through their abnormalities.

So now Shen Lang can rest assured and let them come out to play.

Anyway, the chief catchers of Shen Cat Hall couldn't see their supernatural power, and Yan Tianying, who had the ability to see that they were not ordinary little beasts, wouldn't say much - as a Taoist monk, it wouldn't be very interesting to raise some magical pets.

Is it normal?

The two royal masters raised many kinds of monsters including dragon beasts.

Master Wanfa keeps a red-crowned crane in his secret realm of the universe, and Master Wulei also keeps a giant tortoise, which are no ordinary beasts.

As for Shen Lang's goblins, if they don't change their form and cast spells, there will be something mysterious that even Yan Tianying can't tell.

It snowed today, Xiao Zhao and Little Rabbit went to play in the snow.

Xiaoyu stayed in the water tank and drank with Shen Lang.

The little red carp has recently fallen in love with drinking. From time to time, it puts its head out of the water, opens its mouth, and waits for Shen Lang to pour wine into its mouth.

It even strongly requested that the water tank it lived in be filled with strong liquor, and it was not afraid of soaking itself in the smell.

He poured Xiaoyu a sip of wine and took a sip himself. Unknowingly, Shen Lang thought of Mu Qingxue again.

Calculating the time, Mu Qingxue has been away in the Western Region for more than 20 days, and she doesn't know when she will be able to complete her mission and return to the capital. With her luck, will she run into another accident?

I hope she has less bad luck and more good luck...

There is also Gu Hongye, who has been out of Beijing for a while.

An official document came out a few days ago saying that the flower-picking thief with superb dexterity and amazing swordsmanship was chased by Gu Hongye alone for three days and three nights, traveling thousands of miles. Finally, after Gu Hongye broke through and advanced to the early stage of the fourth rank, he was captured.

She killed him with one sword stroke.

With the mission completed, Gu Hongye and his party could have returned to Beijing to hand over their errands a few days ago.

But on the way, they bumped into another eucalyptus.

A martial arts family was wiped out overnight.

When the local government's investigation yielded no results, they randomly found a notorious thief who had not yet been arrested, and placed the murderous crime on the thief's head.

However, Gu Hongye found some clues and found traces of magic kung fu from the victim's body.

And the traces of the magic kung fu are very similar to the "Red Devil Hand" used by Shen Sanlang, who was originally dressed as Shen Lang.

Gu Hongye himself had eaten the "Red Devil Hand" performed by Shen Lang with the help of Shen Sanlang's skills. He was deeply impressed by this magic skill, so he was able to find clues.

Based on this, she suspected that this murder case was related to the "Black Lotus Demon Cave", so she stayed in the area to investigate. Yan Tianying also attached great importance to this, and specially sent a fourth-level head catcher with a magical weapon to provide support.

.

In short, Gu Hongye may not be able to return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year this time.

And Bai Shishi, the cult she participated in the investigation was indeed very difficult.

Judging from the official documents sent back two days ago, the cult's incense master and helmsman-level figures alone have fifth-level cultivation, and their identities are secret and difficult to find.

There are three levels above it: the protector, the elder, and the leader.

Although there are not necessarily third-level masters, there are definitely fourth-level warriors.

Within the sect, there are even witches and wizards who know some magic and are good at pretending to be gods and conjuring ghosts to confuse the people.

The leader of the Shen Cat Hall, Zhu Yi, ignores that Zhu Captou is also a fourth-grade Dacheng, possesses secret skills, and is very capable of fighting. His strength far exceeds that of an ordinary fourth-grade Dacheng. But even so, in the official document he sent back,

He implicitly expressed the hope that more help could be sent. It would be best to send a fourth-grade head catcher...

But Yan Tianying really couldn't recruit the fourth grade, Shen Lang took the initiative to ask for a fight, but Yan Tianying rejected it. In the end, Master Yan personally went to Yunding Demon Palace and had a heart-to-heart talk with Master Wanfa. Master Wanfa was moved by him and decided to

One of his disciples was sent out.

It is said that after Wan Fa Zhenren achieved first rank, he founded a Taoist sect called "Wan Fa Sect".

Currently, there are only seven second-generation disciples under Wanfa Zhenren, the founder of the "Wanfa Sect", and none of the third-generation disciples.

Because the sect has only been established for a short period of time, among the seven second-generation disciples of Wanfa Zhenren, the senior sister with the highest cultivation level is only at the fourth level. The six junior sisters below are each with lower cultivation levels. The weakest junior sister,

I am ten years old this year, and I have only learned two mediocre techniques.

Wanfa Zhenren himself dedicated himself to the Shencat Hall, but rarely allowed his disciples to interfere with the Shencat Hall's affairs. At most, he allowed his disciples to help refine pills, make talismans, and refine magic weapons, and indirectly support the Shencat Hall. Direct action would be

Basically none.

This time, seeing that Yan Tianying was really working hard, Master Wanfa reluctantly sent out his second disciple who was the most talented in combat to support him - the eldest disciple was a standard "nerd" despite his high level of cultivation.

He is very good at cultivation, he is proficient in alchemy, making talismans, and refining weapons. He also knows how to manage work and is very good at taking care of his junior sisters.

Master Wanfa himself has been out with Yan Tianying for many years, and he is completely a hands-off shopkeeper. The younger junior sisters, five, six, and seven, are almost all trained by the senior sister.

Senior Sister Wanfamen usually performs spells smoothly and naturally, and forms seals and recites incantations very quickly. However, when it comes to actual combat methods, she easily becomes nervous and confused, and even reciting incantations becomes stumbling.

Master Wanfa pretended to be a demon and made surprise attacks several times to test the disciples' actual combat abilities. He was always so angry and heartbroken by the eldest disciple's clumsy response to battle.

Anyway, Senior Sister Wanfamen is good at everything, but she doesn’t know how to fight.

The other disciples have little cultivation, but the second disciple is gifted with extraordinary talents, keen intuition, bravery and good at fighting, and has a fifth-level cultivation. She usually doesn't feel comfortable in the mountain gate, so this time she was sent to help.

It can be regarded as satisfying her belligerence.

With the support of the second senior sister of Wanfamen, Shen Lang naturally does not need to go out to support him, and continues to be on duty in the Yamen of Shenhuatang.

Of course Shen Lang understood that this was Yan Tianying's protection for him.

After all, Lian Yunxiao's matter hasn't been settled yet.

After thinking about his friends nearby, Shen Lang thought of Chen Yuniang who was far away.

It's been half a year since they were separated. I don't know if Lady Jade has become the disciple of the Dragon King of the Seven Seas as she wished. I don't know how advanced her current cultivation level is.

With Lady Jade's talent, if she could successfully join the Seven Seas Dragon King's sect and receive guidance and training from the Grand Master, she would probably have to be at least a fifth-grade student by now.

"It's a pity that I can't take the initiative to contact her. It would be great if there was some way to teleport items remotely. I can send her a copy of the elixirs captured this time, as well as the elixirs I refine in the future. After all, the Dragon King of the Seven Seas

No matter how strong you are, there is no way you can have the elixir refined from the fish dragon tree..."

The key is that the great master's alchemy is far inferior to that of the great master.

Even though Nanyang is rich in products and can find many heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It is also located on the main sea trade route and can obtain various spiritual objects from the West and the East. However, the Dragon King of the Seven Seas cannot refine anything even if he can obtain those heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

A decent elixir. If you chew it directly, a lot of its elixir will be wasted.

After thinking about Lady Jade's practice for a while, he imagined what New Year gifts he would prepare for her if she were right in front of him. Shen Lang, who had not tasted meat for half a year, unknowingly thought of Lady Jade's flexible and slender waist.

, round, plump and strong thighs.

As I was thinking about it, my body began to feel warm. I don’t know if it was because of the alcohol, or because I was full and warm and thinking about it.

It's a pity that his sister is far away, and Shen Lang is a bit of a germaphobe, so he can't go to Jiaofangsi to show off his style, so he can only stride into the snow, dance with his sword and use his strength.

Just when Shen Lang was braving the wind and snow, dancing wildly with his drunken sword.

Nanyang, an unknown island.

The storm roared, and the waves were like walls.

Chen Yuniang sat cross-legged on the rocks, looking at a roaring wave that was three feet high without changing her expression.

When the wave was only a few feet away from her, and it was about to hit her hard like a collapsing city wall, she suddenly let out a clear whistle, pushed her palms sideways, and two huge palm prints were immediately sunk into the wave.

With a loud bang, it exploded into pieces.

Chen Yuniang smashed the three-foot-long wave with one palm, stood up again, faced the big wave that followed, bowed and lowered her waist, clenched her right hand into a fist, closed it at her waist, and punched out again.

Amidst the thunderous sound of the sonic boom, the force of the air fist opened a huge hole in the big wave, and it continued to smash a wave behind it.

After that, Chen Yuniang jumped off the reef and fell into the surging sea water. She punched and slapped her hands, opened and closed, and fought against the wind and waves.
To be continued...
