Chapter 162

  Qiu Niang is a twelve-year-old girl, from a poor family. A few days ago, she had to sign a contract with someone at the pawnshop and go out to work as a servant in a wealthy household. Although Qiu Niang is not a beauty, at such a young age, she can already bear the heavy burden of her family. Poor children have to grow up early, so her thoughts and ideas are still turning quickly.

  At this moment, she was also bewildered by the various gold and jewels in the house for a while. But this little girl immediately thought of the big car that had come to the mansion today - it was impossible for this big car to hold all the treasures she saw now, and the old man in front of her had only gone to the living room, study and bedroom once, and then those treasures appeared, so what this old man was was really hard to say...

  The little girl thought about the ghost stories she heard from old people and neighbors when she was a child, with a fearful yet admiring gaze at the old master standing in the main hall.

  Bo Yu stood outside the hall and gazed at those servants with a faint smile, "Some people are indeed... Hmph."

  Qin Liu was a notorious lone thief in the Jiangnan region, with exceptional skills. He usually kept a group of informants to gather information about wealthy families in various places. One day, he received a tip that "there is an outsider in Hangzhou who has just bought a mansion, and there are many treasures inside." He immediately went to investigate and found that the mansion had no guards or watchmen, only a few servants and several maids and cooks. He decided: "No need to wait any longer! Tonight, I'll make my move!"

  Liu Er was a good-for-nothing, fond of gambling and idling away his time, who had brought his family to ruin. Fortunately, he had no wife or children, parents or siblings to worry about; as long as he himself ate his fill, the whole family wouldn't go hungry. One day, having lost all his money at the gambling den once again, he went to a pawnshop and begged an acquaintance who worked there to recommend him for a job as a servant in a wealthy household that had recently moved to Hangzhou. For several days, he put in some effort to tidy up the mansion, and now, seeing the countless gold, jewels, and precious objects in the main hall and study, his eyes grew wide with wonder at the fist-sized pearls, four-foot-high coral, and jade pendants as long as a foot, and for a moment, he was completely stunned. But then, as he came to himself, an evil thought suddenly arose in his heart: "This master's family has no roots in Hangzhou! If we were to steal a few things from them one night, wouldn't that be enough to keep us eating well and drinking fine for the rest of our lives?" So, under cover of darkness, he slipped out and went to the gambling den to look for his old friends. When he told them about it, they were all tempted by the idea, and immediately agreed to do it.

  There are also those who secretly steal and rob, with the intention of making a profit, and they quietly spread what they see in front of them, attracting gangs from outside Hangzhou to come and make a fortune.

  Liu Er led the Papi people, who were the first batch to sneak in quietly. These guys usually treated night as day and acted very quickly at night, almost sneaking in just after midnight.

  However, earlier than them, there was a guy hiding under the big tree at the other end of the alley to watch - this is the lone thief Qin Liu. He saw those guys sneakily opening the slightly ajar back door and slipping into the house, quietly counting hundreds in his heart, and then quickly followed suit, directly slipping into the house from the door.

  It was that gang of robbers who arrived late, and now they were just gathering quietly outside the alley, waiting for the third watch before making their move.

  After Qin Liu entered the house, he quietly walked towards the main hall. He wasn't greedy and thought that taking a few small but valuable treasures would be enough, and it would be best to shift all the blame onto those clumsy thieves. However, up until now, those clumsy thieves hadn't caused any big trouble, which surprised him - he had originally planned to use his agility skills to sneak in and steal after those clumsy thieves started causing a commotion...

  "Can't think about so much anymore! Go take a look first and then say." Qin Liu gritted his teeth and decided to go to the main hall to grab a few things first.

  As soon as he stepped into the hall, he heard a "drip" sound, and at the same time, his eyes were almost blinded by a burst of light. "What's going on? From the outside, it seemed like this hall wasn't lit up!" Qin Liu immediately drew out his waist knife, Eight Trigrams Night Battle formation protecting his body shape, then with one backward leap, he was about to crash open the window and escape. Who would have thought that although the window was thin, when Qin Liu crashed into it, it didn't budge in the slightest. Finally, Qin Liu's eyes adjusted to the light inside the house, but as soon as he took a look around, his urine came out... He'd rather not be able to see after all.

  Ba Fu is now in the form of the Great Bird King from Journey to the West, still wearing his tattered yet majestic armor. He sits in the middle of the great hall, holding a Pili in his large claws, and with his sharp teeth, he is tearing at the Pili's leg. The Pili has been dead for some time, its blood splattered all over the floor. Several human bodies are scattered around, the few Pilis that had infiltrated were all here. Qin Liu's heart was shattered, his limbs numb and weak, the monster he had heard about in stories was right in front of him, devouring human flesh. Qin Liu's face turned pale and he fainted...

  "I'm going! But it's just a pretence of being eaten! This guy scared me to death! Is this still reasonable?! Ba Fu looked at the guy in front of him and was furious. In his anger, he swallowed the flesh that had been bitten off in one gulp. "This meat? Ah? How can it contain such good spiritual energy, much more than pork! It's true that monsters should eat humans!" Ba Fu immediately sucked in a big mouthful, swallowing several skin bags whole, but the little thief who was scared to death really didn't have any appetite for food. "What a waste of good meat!" His eyes scanned around, and Qin Liu's corpse instantly turned into flying ash."

  Not long after, another group of robbers also sneaked in from the back door. Although the politics of the Song Dynasty are still relatively clean and Hangzhou is a big city, there aren't many cases of armed robbery. However, Ba Fu was not in the main hall at this moment, he took one step and crossed to the back door, swallowing one person as soon as they entered, and it seemed that several people would be swallowed up in an instant. The robbers behind saw that the people in front disappeared as soon as they entered, knowing that something was wrong, they informed their partners to escape "This house is haunted! Run!"

  Before they could start running, bursts of air bullets shattered their skulls one by one. Ba Fu's huge claws scooped up the limp bodies and tossed them into his mouth...

  It was a good night's sleep, and the maidservants and houseboys in the house were completely unaware of it. However, on the second day, Liu Er was found to be missing, but since Liu Er was a well-known vagabond, his disappearance did not arouse any surprise among the people. Of course, Master Bao would not order anyone to go look for him, and the little maidservant who had shown a frightened expression that day seemed to have returned to normal as well, never showing that expression again.

  Ba Fu went to West Lake for a stroll after eating his fill. At this time, Su Xue had already repaired the lake dam in West Lake, known as Su Causeway. Ba Fu strolled along the lakeside and soon wrapped up a painted boat on the lake.

  "Hmm, this faint aura of evil? It seems that thing is going to happen." Bo Fu felt a hint of the aura and smiled as he looked towards Su Ti in the distance. He saw a ferry boat there, and a effeminate scholar was about to board it. With his divine eyes, Bo Fu could see several hundred feet away as clearly as if it were right next to him. "Is that really Ye Tong cross-dressing?! I'm telling you, old man, don't you have any shame?!"

  Just as the ferry was about to leave, two women arrived on the embankment. "Oh oh oh! Bai Niangzi and Xu Xian? I say, according to Lao Tou's moral integrity, that Ye Tong should be Xu Xian!"

  The ferry set off, and from afar came the singing voice "West Lake's beautiful scenery in March, drunken rain like wine, willows like smoke..."

  "It's really a sentimental journey..."

  Not long after, the eerie aura dissipated and heavy rain poured down from the sky. At this time, the ferry had already reached the shore several miles away, but Bo Fu still seemed to be by his side. "Hoo hoo hoo! Adulterer! Adulterer! So soon Xu Xian has caught your eye! Repaying kindness..." Bo Fu muttered to himself as he leaned against the railing of the boat, and soon he shifted his attention to the misty rain of West Lake, "There's still plenty of time, enough to have some fun."

  In the following days, Ba Fu continued to linger in the bustling streets of Hangzhou. One day, he sat in a teahouse listening to a storyteller, "It is said that Tang Sanzang went west to fetch scriptures..." The storyteller was telling the story of "The Journey to the West".

  "Huh? There's still a story about Tang Monk getting scriptures? Didn't I already eat those guys up? Ah, right! I forgot that old man had reset the world... Anyway, the taste of Tang Monk's meat was really good... The monkey brain wasn't bad either. Although the pork was a bit smelly, it tasted pretty good with the seasonings." Baifu listened to the vulgar talk while recalling the flavors of the monk, the monkey, and the pig.

  Hangzhou is a big city, and naturally there are many Taoist priests and monks who make a living by relying on incense, exorcising demons, and eliminating ghosts. Ba Fu only slightly restrained the demonic energy to prevent it from becoming too intense and causing heavenly calamity at every moment. Generally speaking, he didn't pay much attention to the subtle and scattered demonic energy that was emitted. So before long, a Taoist priest came knocking on his door.

  A Taoist came and sat down by the gate, the newly hired steward and the doorkeeper saw a Taoist blocking their front door, they all came out to ask: "Why did that Taoist block my family's main gate?"

  "There's a monster in your house!"

  "That Taoist priest is really hateful! He won't even say anything nice! How could there be a monster in my house?! Where there's no illness or disaster, how can there be a monster?! Beat him!"

  Several family servants raised their big sticks and were about to drive the Taoist priest away from the gate, but the Taoist priest calmly swept his dust with a brush, and several family servants suddenly rolled around in confusion, then started fighting each other.

  "This sorcerer has evil magic! Go quickly and report to the authorities!" The steward shouted loudly.

  The Taoist burst out laughing and no matter how the door god ran, he couldn't run more than three feet in front of the door. The Taoist chuckled and stroked his five willow-like whiskers, saying: "I have come to exorcise evil spirits for your noble family. This evil spirit has not yet taken shape, so your noble family is still safe. When this evil spirit takes shape, your family will be finished."

  At this moment, the housekeeper also knew that the Taoist priest was indeed a divine being, while the servants and gatekeepers were completely useless. They had to ask the Taoist priest to enter the house in a low voice, and someone went to inform Master Bo Fu.

  As soon as the Taoist entered, he waved his sleeve again and the family servants who were fighting outside the door and the gatekeepers who were running around suddenly stopped. Everyone saw that the family servants in front of them had been beaten to a pulp, with noses blue and eyes swollen, heads cracked and bleeding, but now they didn't seem to have any injuries at all. They all exclaimed in surprise and believed that this Taoist was indeed a man of great magical power.

  Bo Fu had long known about the mess in front of the door and couldn't help but laugh, "This Taoist priest with a messy beard... Taming demons? Hahaha..."

  He said to his men, "Let this Taoist priest come in and take a look."

  After the Taoist entered, he pointed at his eyelid with two fingers, "Hurry up like a law!" Opened his heavenly eye to look around. The butler didn't dare to approach the Taoist either, and only instructed a house servant to follow him from afar. At this moment, most people already believed that there might be a monster in the mansion - the three-foot golden light emitted from the Taoist's eyes was proof...

  "Huh? I've searched all around, but I don't see any demonic energy? Clearly just a few days ago, I saw the mansion above covered in dark clouds. However... ...this house really does have a lot of gold, jewels, and treasures!"

  The Taoist walked back and forth, finally arriving at Bo Fu's study. Bo Fu was currently flipping through the books and paintings he had bought in his study, "Good evil beast! It turns out you're here!" The Taoist shouted as soon as he saw Bo Fu, drawing out his treasured sword.

  Bo Fu raised his head and glanced at the Taoist priest, who had already set up a soundproof and demon-proof formation. "Little Taoist, what do you want from me?"

  "Monster! You've actually transformed into a human and are living here! I will subdue you today!"

  "Oh, subdue me? Are you sure you want to subdue this demon?" Bo Fu looked at the Taoist with great interest, releasing a bit of his demonic power.

  A Taoist sat on the ground with a thud, "This this this..." The terrifying demon power instantly took away the Taoist's courage. What kind of Taoist had ever seen such a monster? At most, he could subdue the hundred-year-old demon that had just transformed into human form, but the demon in front of him was probably not even a thousand years old...

  "Hey little Taoist, how much do you charge for capturing a monster?" Bo Fu said, scratching his chin.

  The Taoist retorted sternly, "Subduing demons and exorcising evil is our profession, what's the talk of money!"

  "Wow, you're indeed a cultivator who has transcended lowly desires. You Daoist are quite lucky, I'm not in the mood to eat people today, and with your level of skill, I wouldn't even bother killing you. Celebrate, I'm having an extremely good day today. Alright, scram quickly! Next time you want to subdue demons and evil spirits, ask your ancestors in heaven first, or else you might not be so lucky again!" After finishing his sentence, Bo Yu flicked his sleeve, and the Daoist was knocked unconscious by the demonic energy. When the Daoist opened his eyes again, he found himself already in the distant capital of the Song Dynasty - Bianjing...

  On this day, Bo Fu walked down to Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou. As soon as he stepped into the Mahavira Hall, he felt something.

  Ba Fu sneered, revealing a sly smile at the corner of his mouth. He looked at the various Arhats, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas on the lotus throne, stretched out his hand to gently swing the incense box, and finally, in front of all the heavenly Bodhisattvas, he took out the copper coins from the box and left with a swagger... The monks still hadn't caught on.

  "These Westerners love money, now that they've taken their money, it's probably as good as killing their parents... Haha, these bald donkeys really have money!" Ba Fu sneered, tossing the silver ingots up and down in his hand.

  "Right, I'll go take a look at Bai Niangniang later and see if this Xu Xian is male or female... This Ye Tong's appearance is too misleading. When the time comes, I'll go give him some soil to loosen! I remember that the temple should like such little monks. Hahaha, I'm really evil!!!"

  Bo Fu laughed heartily. So many journeys through the world have completely corrupted this guy, his true nature is fully exposed... Moreover, half of him is still a chaotic breed.

  Bai Suzhen had already settled her lifelong affair with Xu Xian, and at this moment Xu Xian was on his way home to inform his sister and brother-in-law of the matter. Baigui transformed into a violent gust of wind and arrived directly outside the White Mansion.

  Bo Fu pushed his hand, and the gate of the White Mansion suddenly opened wide. He walked into the White Mansion with his head held high and his chest out, but the five ghosts behind him were blown away by a strong gust of wind. "Who is this thief? Look at my sword!" A woman in green clothes holding a sharp sword came to kill him in mid-air, while another woman in white clothes had a lotus finger on her hand and was muttering incantations.

  "Hah! You little snake spirit, you don't know the height of heaven or the thickness of earth!" Ba Fu released his demonic energy.

  Bai Suzhen and Xiao Qing suddenly felt fear, as if they had seen their arch-nemesis. Bai Suzhen, who had cultivated for a thousand years, could feel the terrifying power in the demonic aura even more than Xiao Qing. The two of them stopped moving at the same time, watching as the man in front of them transformed into a giant demon over ten feet tall with pale golden pupils staring at the two snake spirits...

  "Are you the White Snake Spirit who cultivates on Mount Emei? How is it that you've come down from the mountain and found someone to be your food?" said Bo Fu, directly sitting down in the courtyard.

  "This great king, the little demon just wants to repay the kindness of saving his life."

  "Just give him the money, it's not like you're going to eat it. Besides, humans and demons can't be together, are you trying to kill him? Ah, I forgot, you practice Buddhist martial arts. Haha, I have a grudge against monks, so you'll come with me, let's go make the bed!" Ba Fu sneered lewdly...
