Although Xiaoxi Town is not a big place, the fame of the City God Temple is very great. Because the old man of the city god is effective and responds to requests, it can be said that everyone knows it within a radius of 100 miles.

Xu Yuanwai, who lives in Shanyin County, the capital of Yuezhou, is notoriously rich and powerful. Such a rich and noble family traveled hundreds of miles to come, and it was precisely because of the magic of the Chenghuang Temple in Xiaoxi Town. But now, there was a death in the temple, and the people around were naturally shocked.

"I heard that there is an old mother in Xu Sanjin's family, who got a strange illness last month, and she asked all the famous doctors in the city to no avail. Later, a Taoist priest from the traveling side passed by Shanyin County and told him to come to our Xiaoxi Town to ask for the blessing of the old man Chenghuang, and he would definitely be able to make his wish come true. No, the whole family is here. And in order to make a wish for a temple fair, he did not hesitate to spend thousands of taels of silver. It's good now, there is a murder, a big omen. ”

"But it's not, it's finally too peaceful in this world, who wants to run into a dead person, it's just unlucky. Besides, the people of the Xu family came to ask for the blessing of the city god, and they gave porridge and did good deeds, shouldn't they be so unlucky? ”

"Hey, hey, it's not your own business, just be a good one. Anyway, we poor people are not even worthy of carrying shoes for others, so what the hell are we idle. ”

……

The gate of the City God's Temple has long been crowded with people, men, women and children, all kinds of people, many of whom have come from all over the prefectures and counties. Lu Xin followed Lu Tingfang into the crowd and found that the officials had blocked the entire City God Temple, and they were not allowed to enter, let alone leave.

Because of the exuberant incense, the area inside the temple is very large. At this time, there were not only Xu Sanjin's family in the temple, but also a large number of pilgrims. Lu Tingfang took a cursory look, there should be no less than three hundred people. Even if the murderer is still among these people, such a chaotic scene may not be easy to find.

"Brother, where are the dead people? I can't see. ”

"What a child looks at, close his eyes."

Lu Tingfang snorted coldly and blocked Lu Xin's eyes with his hand. But following his gaze, in the middle of the temple of the city god, there was a huge incense burner half a person high under the patio. The corpse, just next to the incense burner, was surrounded by a large amount of blood, and the color had turned black.

In addition, Xu Sanjin's family was controlled by the county government under the statue of the city god, and was being questioned by county officials. The rest of the pilgrims stayed where they were at the time of the incident and were not allowed to move. Several officials followed the county lieutenant to observe the corpse, and only a young man with a sword was walking around.

"It's strange, this person is dressed in exquisite Han Dynasty costumes, and he doesn't wear an official hat, so he has the right to investigate the scene of the murder, is it ...... He came from Fucheng to join the army? ”

Lu Tingfang wanted to go to the capital city of Yuezhou, so he was naturally very concerned about the big people from these mansions. The wisdom of modern people tells him that if you want to find an opportunity to display your talents, you must first meet someone who can give you a chance.

"Xiao Cao, why hasn't Uncle Wang arrived yet, it's been almost half an hour, and the corpse's face has begun to stiffen. If you don't come again, you will go back to the county government in person to urge. ”

"Don't worry, county lieutenant, there have been so many murders in the county recently, and Uncle Wang is the only one who will inspect the body, so why is he busy. I've sent someone to pick it up, it should be almost there. ”

"Don't worry! How many are these? The county commander ordered me to solve the case within half a month, and if I have no clue, everyone will be in prison together! ”

The county lieutenant is a middle-aged martial artist, with a big beard, and he walks with a tigerish style. But his face was very tired, and he was obviously in a state of sleep deprivation. The official was so yelled at him that he didn't dare to squeak, and was about to return to the county government to call someone, but was stopped by the young man in a gorgeous costume.

"I have examined the body, there is a contusion on the head, it looks like someone has been attacked from behind and fell to the ground, but the real cause of death is poisoning. You smell the blood, and it stenchs and blackens and becomes sticky. Moreover, the tongue is black and purple from the tip of the tongue to the root, which indicates that the toxicity has eroded the whole body, and the possibility of sudden death can be ruled out. I guess he must have been sick for a long time after being poisoned, so he came to the temple to ask for God's blessing. ”

The young man looked at the beams above his head and spoke, his voice loud and crisp, and he didn't care about being heard. When the county lieutenant saw the young man talking, he immediately stepped forward and smiled, his expression very respectful.

"The adults who joined the army are really golden-eyed, and their subordinates are stupid......"

"Okay, save the flattery for later. People are definitely not killed by Xu Yuanwai's family, you can let them go. Also, just now you said that there are still a few homicides in the county, do you hear that it is related to this homicide? ”

The young man turned his head, his eyes sharp, and he stared at the county lieutenant deadly. The middle-aged man seemed to be a little stunned by him, and subconsciously took two steps back.

"Return, if you go back to your lordship, there are indeed a few similar murders, all of which just happened this month."

"Hmph...... You didn't report such a big thing to the state? The county magistrate of your county is called Zhang Deguang, right? Where is he? ”

The young man snorted coldly and asked three times in a row, his tone solemn. After hearing this, the county lieutenant immediately lowered his head and was speechless. At this time, Xu Yuanwai, who was under the statue, walked up with his family.

"Thank you for your help and return Xu's innocence, and I will come to the door to thank you when I return to Fucheng."

Xu Sanjin is a slightly chubby middle-aged man, about 1.65 meters tall, with small eyes, but he is bright. He was dressed as the richest in the audience, and he could tell at a glance that he was a rich man. Behind him were two beautiful women and a little girl of seven or eight years old, and the rest were a dozen subordinates and four guards in the house.

When the young man saw Xu Sanjin coming over, he stopped scolding, turned around, and said, "Uncle Xu is outside, you and I are friends in the world, so you don't have to be so polite." What's more, the little nephew is just handling the case impartially, and since the case has nothing to do with you, he naturally wants to release him. County Lieutenant He, just bother your people and send Xu Yuanwai's family out. ”

"Yes, yes, I will arrange for someone to escort Xu Yuan back to the inn safely. But join the army, what about the others......"

"Huh, others? The case is not completed, do you need me to tell you how to do it? ”

"My subordinates understand!"

The county lieutenant got the order and immediately began to arrange for people to escort Xu Yuanwai. This scene made the rest of the pilgrims very dissatisfied, and in an instant, everyone was in a hurry, and they were all clamoring to go out. However, the people in the county government are not vegetarians, and after catching a few typical ones, the crowd gradually quieted down.

"Fellow villagers, the adults from the state who joined the army are handling the case, so don't be impatient. As long as the murderer is caught, everyone can go home. However, if anyone is still making trouble now, don't blame me for being rude! ”

The county lieutenant pulled the knife out of his waist, and his face was fierce, but it frightened many people. Lu Tingfang sneered outside the door, and then set his eyes on Xu Sanjin, who was about to come out.

But just when Xu Sanjin's family was less than three meters away from the gate, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the southwest corner of the City God Temple, rushing into the Xu Mansion and his party at an extremely fast speed. In less than two blinks of an eye, the four sturdy guards all fell to the ground and died.

Wow!

For a time, there was chaos again in the City God Temple. Because of the proximity, Lu Tingfang's face turned pale with fright. He could even smell a thick smell of blood, and he rushed at his nose.

"What people!"

The young man who joined the army reacted quite quickly, and almost the next second he died, he drew the sword in his hand. After the black shadow finished killing someone, he stood at the door and laughed strangely, only to see that his whole body was shrouded in black robes, and he couldn't see half an inch of skin. What's even more weird is that purple-red gas faintly appears around the black shadow's body, which is very weird.

"Xiaoxiao joined the army, you can't afford to control the affairs of my Nine Poison Sect. Although life and death are fateful, don't give away your head in vain. ”

The black shadow laughed strangely in an extremely hoarse and cold voice, and reached out to grab the door as he spoke, Lu Tingfang only felt a huge force hit from the air, and his feet instantly left the ground. By the time he reacted, he had already fallen into the City God Temple. At the same time, the heavy temple door was closed with a "boom".

"Today, no one here wants to get out alive, hahahaha......"

The black shadow laughed wildly, and Xu Sanjin's family had already collapsed to the ground in fright. In addition to being calm when he joined the army at a young age, the county lieutenant and many officials also showed panic. The methods of the black shadow are too terrifying.

"What is this? Martial arts? Spell? Could it be that I am going to die here as soon as I arrived in the Tang Dynasty? Am I still underestimating the ancients? ”

After Lu Tingfang fell to the ground, the black shadow didn't make another move, but the scene just now had scared his mind blank. It's a feeling of being controlled over life and death, and it's not only terrifying, it's desperate. Especially for Lu Tingfang, who has crossed over from modern times, the pride of being high above and treating everyone as nothing is gone at this moment!

"It hurts, brother, what's going on, how did we get in."

Lu Xin suddenly screamed in pain and struggled to get up from the ground. The City God Temple, which was already silent, was shouted by him, which instantly attracted everyone's attention, and even the black shadow looked down. But seeing that it was a child, I didn't care. Seeing this, Lu Tingfang hurriedly covered his cousin's mouth, and at the same time, moved towards the corner of the wall little by little. The black shadow didn't care, as if everyone's lives were already under his control.

"I don't care what kind of onmyoji you are, if you are all in the Tang Dynasty today, under the rule of Taizong, all the ghosts and demons will be avoided. You should know that the imperial court established the Yin and Yang Temple, and Taizong personally ordered Wei Tongyun to be the head of the temple. Today, as long as one of the people present dies, the imperial court will definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress it. When the time comes, whether you are the Nine Poison Gate or the Ten Poison Gate, you will be destroyed in an instant! ”

The young man who joined the army was obviously not so easily frightened, raised the long sword in his hand, and exhaled like a rainbow. The dark shadow listened silently, followed by a strange long laugh.

"Wei Tongyun? Hahahaha, the five-fold cultivation of the Guiwei Realm is a figure in your court, but in my Nine Poison Sect, I don't even deserve to lift shoes for the door master. You don't have to use the Tang Dynasty to press me, the deity is here for your dog emperor today. Li Shimin killed his brother and forced his father, such disloyal and unfilial people deserve to sit on the dragon chair? ”

"Bold maniac, look for death!"
