Hu Ban, who rushed to the Holy Prison Gate, quickly found out that the groom was knocked unconscious in the horse gallery, counted the horses and found that there was a horse missing, and the door in the backyard was also opened.

"This thief killed someone, took the horse and fled!" Hu Ban was furious, and whipped the unconscious groom, the groom screamed, and one rolled over, covering his bloody left cheek, and shouted: "Someone, there are robbers robbing you!"

"Idiot!" Hu Ban was even more furious, the leather whip was whipped, and when the whip passed, the skin and flesh opened, and the groom rolled on the ground in pain, and when the fight was over, Hu Ban said coldly: "Don't you notify Guanli yet?"

"Yes!" At this time, it was almost early in the morning, and the dew had not yet dried, and the sun had only come out a little, and some people ran towards the Taoist temple.

This Li Mansion is very close to the Taoist Temple, only a moment to arrive, this Taoist Temple is planted in front of a big locust tree, the bluestone slab paves the road, and some grass grows in the cracks of the body.

The door of the Taoist temple is a red lacquer gate, two large lanterns at the door, there is a gold plaque on it, which reads: "Golden Rooster View" three words, the next person rushed up, with the copper ring on the door knocking on the door.

The copper ring on the door has the function of a doorbell, all of which are made of copper, knocking hard, the sound is very sharp, can penetrate a long distance, with the knock on the door, a twelve or thirteen-year-old Taoist boy came to open the door, sleepy eyes are hazy, hair is a little messy, yawning: "Who, knock on the door so early." ”

"Oh no, I'm from the Li Mansion, and my lord was killed by thieves today. ”

"This has to be notified to the government, why did you come here?" This little Taoist boy just received to serve people, and he didn't understand these things, but occasionally saw people from the Li Mansion, and knew that this family was rich, and there was often silver to pay homage, but this family had an accident, and he didn't go to report to the official, and came to find the master, it was really strange, but he didn't care, he just managed the notice, and he went in again, this Taoist temple was very neat, and the main hall was a Taoist monarch, and the side wall paintings, canopies, treasure flags, and square flags were all immortal officials and immortals.

Daotong entered Vipassana and knocked on the door, and a male voice asked, "Come early in the morning to bother, what's the matter?"

This little Taoist boy said: "Guan Lord, that's the case, there was an accident in the Li Mansion under the mountain, I heard that the Master Li Mansion was killed at night, I came to the Guan Li to ask the Guan Lord to go to the master, and now the next person is at the door, do you want him to come in?"

"What? Master Li was killed?" Huo Di, the Taoist inside, got up.

Xiao Daotong thought about it, there is no other Li Mansion in this town, only one, I heard that this old man is called Li Wenjing, and said: "Lord, there should be no other big family in the town." ”

"You go and call your two senior brothers and tell them that I must rush to the Li Mansion immediately!" said to the little Taoist boy, and heard a female voice again: "Xulang, you go and pay attention to safety." ”

It is said that the Taoist temple was originally a member of the Sun View and the Jungle View, and the Sun and Grandchildren view is the private property of the Taoist Temple, which belongs to a family and a surname, and the Jungle View is the inheritance of the Taoist priest who is not married, this Taoist Temple is the Sun and Grandchildren View, and there is naturally a marriage matter, this little Taoist boy knew that it was the voice of the master when he heard it, and just now the master had an order, and he turned around and left, and did not dare to hesitate, and called his two senior brothers.

The contemplator had a gloomy face and looked at the dark sky, this Taoist temple is a Taoist temple in the Holy Prison Gate, Li Wenjing is a disciple of the outer gate, and he does not live here, but has a house in the town.

In this state test, although Zhang Yuyu felt that he had cultivated the Taoism, the middle move might not be big, but it was not completely eliminated, so he was ready to try it, so he took a few people to the state capital, and then a little empty, Li Wenjing returned to the Li Mansion in the county town, and if he didn't want to come back, he would be killed.

This little Taoist boy was still cautious and undecided, and he didn't know about the holy prison gate, so the Guan Zhu didn't bring it, holding a magic weapon and a long sword, and the three Taoists followed the servant.

Entering this Li Mansion, these Taoist people entered the inner courtyard in the sound of crying and crying, and several young women looked dignified and beautiful, dressed in white silk, crying, but there was still flattery in their eyes.

This person is hot when he sees it, but the big thing is important, Li Wenjing's family has a prohibition, and Li Wenjing also knows some Taoism, as long as there is danger, he can pass on the message, and he will not be easily killed, but he never thought that he would simply die like this.

stepped forward to ask, a young woman covered her face and pointed to the bed, and looked at the bed, the Taoist approached and looked down at the junior brother who had seen him yesterday, only to see that his eyebrows were frightened and angry, his lips were slightly pursed, as if he was still talking before he died, it was indeed Li Wenjing.

The corpse was covered with a quilt, and the man had a calm face, and when the quilt was lifted, he saw that it was a sword edge, through the heart, and after careful examination, there were no other wounds.

"It was killed by a clever warrior, and a sword pierced the heart. This sword mark is the size of a minute, piercing deeply, clean and neat, this viewer's gloomy gaze is gloomy, and his tone is grim: "You guys, go and check if the prohibition in the lower courtyard has been broken, how is the situation?"

"Yes!" The three disciples responded, and the man's face was grim, and he hung a layer of frost, and asked his wife, "Madam, tell me the matter again." ”

The lady's face turned red, and she was picking and choosing to talk about things, and when she heard this Tao, she knew in her heart: "It turned out that the junior brother held an uncovered assembly, and retreated the nursing courtyard and the subordinates in the outer courtyard, and was killed when he went out." ”

The man was a little puzzled, and then asked, "Madam, where was the junior brother killed?"

The young woman got up and led the way, and led the Taoist to a corridor, where she saw spots of blood, and then she saw a large pool of blood, which clotted into a bloody scab.

After checking the bloodstains, he called his subordinates to come over, and asked them one by one, but they all said that they did not see it, only the groom saw a vague figure, so he called over and asked.

The groom was covered with whip marks, and he cowered and knelt on the ground: "Lord, it was very late at night, and I heard a voice come out, and I saw only a vague figure, and I was knocked unconscious by something that flew in, and the horse was also taken away. ”

"I've been knocked unconscious, but I haven't hurt my life, and it seems that I am not only a master, but also not a very evil person. The Taoist thought secretly in his heart, and at this time, the people who were sent out to check the prohibition all came back and said: "Master, the prohibition in this courtyard has not been damaged, it seems that someone with the Jing Dao method and swordsmanship infiltrated and harmed Uncle Li." ”

This person took a few steps back and forth, hesitated in his heart, or there was a possibility of eyeliner.

"Although Senior Brother Li is only an outer disciple, he has always given advice and presided over the worldly affairs of the county, which is actually more important than many inner disciples. ”

"He is dead, and everything in this county will be affected, so it seems that I have to go to the underworld next time, check the soul of Senior Brother Li, and ask who killed him?" ”

Thinking of entering the room, he ordered everyone: "You all get out." ”

Seeing everyone withdrawing, he looked at Li Wenjing lying on the bed: "Senior Brother Li, you and I entered the gate together, but I am diligent in cultivating the Dao Law, you are good at general affairs, and you are wise, assisting Zhang Gongzi, you have power, you are unfamiliar with the Dao Law, and you have not opened the gate of heaven, so you will kill people with a sword here." ”

I couldn't help but sigh: "If you don't open the gate of heaven, you won't be a ghost, just a mortal soul." ”

Hearing this, the two disciples of this Daoist stood behind this Daoist person, and couldn't help but feel a little relative, and this Daoist stopped with emotion, and said: "You are guarding the Dharma for me, and I will go to the underworld next to ask who it is and who killed your Uncle Li." ”

"Yes!" the two young Taoists replied, holding their swords left and right.

This person took out three sticks of incense and lit them, inserted them in an incense burner, and there was smoke in a moment.

In a moment, a little light appeared on the top of this person, and as soon as it appeared, it disappeared.

"Master is out of his body. The two young Taoists showed envious looks, this is the ghost immortal.

world

It looked gray, and countless gray and black sank into it, and at this moment, a little light appeared in it, and the clear light protected the person, and the hazy smoke surrounded the surroundings.

"The wind is coming. "As soon as I got here, there was a yin wind blowing on the clear light of this person, there was a yin mountain in the distance, some humanoid skeletons were walking, and from time to time some monsters appeared, biting these skeletons and eating them, but these monsters did not dare to approach the Taoist, only watched from a distance, seemed to be afraid, and seemed to be longing.

On this land, from time to time, you can see some spiritual light descending, it seems to be a little bit of white light, and when it falls on the ground, it changes.

"The incense goes down and forms very small blessed land, which must be the ancestral hall in the underworld. ”

It's just that these are not the places to go, only to see a trace of fragrance leading in front, it is the god-seeking incense that I just lit that leads this person to the front.

Walking straight, seeing a city, faintly seeing the white light rushing up, and the official patrolling, this person stopped: "Alas, the souls of ordinary people are scattered in the underworld, maybe no one cares, we cultivators are receiving special attention, it seems that the soul of Senior Brother Li has entered the city with the ghost and is under the jurisdiction of this city god." ”

Ordinary people think that people enter the underworld when they die, but in fact they are not, but first there are land constraints in various places, sent to the city god, and then convicted by the city god, whether to stay or be punished, or to hell, or to return to the hometown to receive incense from the ancestral hall, or to arrange to live in the city.

Here is close to the county town, both looking for the divine incense to point to the city, it must be, it should have been escorted into the city, and when a spiritual light came, someone in front of the city scolded: "Bold Taoist, this is the place under the jurisdiction of the city god, don't trespass!"

In front of the Taoist, one person was dressed in tolerance clothes, followed by two soldiers.

This person gave a slight salute and threw out a decree, and this tolerance took a look: "It turns out that you have a token to enter the city, please come in!"

And the Word entered into the city.

"Any Dao Gate has a relationship with the underworld, and my Holy Prison Gate naturally has it. "The Taoist people don't look at the red land in the city, not because they despise it, but because they are in awe.

In this world, the county town is the god uncle, the county town is the god marquis, it is not trivial.

I got into a residence, this house was gray and black, but it was quite wide, and there was a ghost fire at the door, which was creepy, and then a man in an official uniform came out and smiled: "It turned out to be a Taoist friend from the Holy Prison Gate, please come in, I have good food, I like the things in the cup, Taoist friends come here, you might as well drink a few more cups!"

The official smiled, his body was a faint white light, and he led in, and a coffee table was placed in the hall, and with a wave of his hand, the wine glass was in front.
