The north wind, which had been blowing all night, gradually stopped after dawn, and the sun in the sky also sprinkled golden sunshine on the city of Beijing, making the morning of this winter moon a little warmer.

After confirming that there were still no further clues in these cases, Lu Zhen took Yao Gan and other guards and went directly to the direction of Nancheng. Since Cui Heng reminded that he might have heard the relevant news from the Baiyun Guanyan Chong Daoist, let's try to try our luck.

With such thoughts, Lu Zhen and his entourage came to the small Taoist temple that was quite quiet and simple in the city of Beijing.

Compared to Buddhism, which has many followers, this Taoism is much more low-key. It is rumored that many cultivators always like to retreat to a place where people from the mountains and rivers do not go to do penance, even if they are in a big city or a big port, they will choose a quiet place to settle down. As for the incense or something, just go with the flow.

This Baiyun Temple gives people the same impression, looking at the Taoist temples that have been around for some years, they all look a little dilapidated. However, it is precisely this kind of archaic meaning that gives people some confidence, and they feel that the Taoist who can meditate in it must have some Taoism.

After stepping forward and knocking on the door, an eight or nine-year-old Taoist boy greeted him. I saw that after he swept the clothes of Lu Zhen and others, he made a joke: "How many donors are from the government?" ”

This sentence made Lu Jin's and others' faces change slightly. Because they didn't come to get people today, they only wore regular clothes, and now they were actually seen through by a little Taoist boy at a glance. Zhao Jie stared at him even more vigilantly and asked, "How do you know that we are from the official mansion?" ”

"It's my master who told me that people from the government will come to our Taoist temple in the next two days......" Xiao Daotong gave a natural answer.

"Who is the Venerable Master?" Lu Zhen asked while asking, and on the other hand, he had already given Zhao Jie and other subordinates who were eager to try, so that they could calm down for a while.

"My master's name is Yan Chong, and he is already waiting for you inside." As he spoke, the little Taoist boy made a gesture of invitation and led them to the Taoist temple.

Although they were surprised by the other party's unpredictable prophet, Lu Zhen and the others still followed the Taoist to the inside. After entering the door, they found that this temple was much larger than the one from the outside, but it was also more dilapidated, especially after the few big trees in the courtyard had lost their leaves, giving people a feeling of depression.

Not only the courtyard outside, but also the main hall dedicated to the Sanqing Daozun, is not as prosperous as the temple hall, only two plain white candles are lit on the offering table, making the whole temple look gloomy.

Fortunately, they didn't need to enter, only bypassed the main hall, passed through an arch, and then came to a few rooms in the backyard of the Taoist temple. Xiao Daotong took two steps forward, came to one of the rooms, and shouted inside, "Master, the guests you mentioned have arrived. ”

After a while, the door was opened, and an old Taoist priest wearing an old Taoist robe, holding a gray and white Taoist bun, with a medium and slightly thin stature, and a clear and clumsy appearance, came out. Seeing Lu Zhen and the others, he first made a joke: "A few adults, you are poor and polite." Mingyue, you go and boil some tea to entertain the guests. ”

"Dao Chang is the Yanchong mage of this Baiyun Temple?" Lu Zhen bowed back, then looked at the other party and asked.

"Poor Dao is Yan Chong, but he is not a mage, just an ordinary monk." Yan Chong smiled modestly, and leaned to the side again: "Everyone."

Adults are also invited to come into the house and talk. However, this house is cramped, and it is impossible to invite everyone in. ”

"It doesn't hurt." Lu Zhen gave a few people a look, and then let Yao Gan and Zhao Jie follow him in, while the others stayed outside.

When you enter this room, you can see a big Taoist character hanging above the bamboo couch facing the door. Around the sweeping eyes, it was very simple, only a wooden table, four chairs and stools, an oil lamp, and several volumes of Taoist scriptures on the table.

After taking his seat, Lu Zhen first sighed: "Yanchong Daoist is really profound, and he can still be so quiet and inactive in this Beijing city, not disturbed by external objects, which is really admirable." ”

"The reputation of the adults is excessive, the cultivators should not be disturbed by external things, compared to the sages of the Dao, the poor Dao is only slightly self-sustaining."

"The Taoist is humble." Lu Zhen smiled slightly, then stared at the other party's eyes and asked, "I heard the Taoist chief keep claiming that I am an adult, it seems that he already knows the origin of my waiting?" ”

"Hehe, my lord, are you taking the school exam? In fact, as early as a few days ago, Poor Dao had already calculated that someone from the government would come to my small Baiyun Temple, and it must be someone who investigated the case. If the poor road is not bad, you should be the people of Jinyi Weizhong, right? The old Taoist priest looked at Lu Zhen indifferently, and calmly pointed out their exact identities.

This made Zhao Jie and Yao Gan's bodies suddenly shocked, and they almost jumped up, and their hands had already pressed on the short knife on their waists.

It's no wonder that they are so nervous, it's really that the skills shown by Yan Chong are too weird, and it's easy for people to be wary.

However, Lu Jin, although his brows furrowed twice after hearing this, he quickly regained his composure: "In the past, I heard people talk about what cultivators can not know, but the prophet and the official still don't believe it." But now that the Taoist can calculate that we will come, it seems that I have to change my mind. ”

"Hehe, this lord is serious, although the poor Dao has been cultivating for decades, it is still far from reaching the realm of spying on the heavens, let alone any uncertain prophets. If the poor Dao really had such ability, my Baiyun Temple would not be dilapidated now, and few people came. Yan Chong shook his head with a smile and sighed.

This is a good statement, in this world, as long as Yan Chong can show his ability to calculate in front of the people as he just concluded their identity, it is enough to attract a large number of good men and women to come to Baiyun to worship incense and almsgiving.

But this made Lu Jin's brows furrow: "What did the Dao chief rely on, so he expected that I would come to the door later?" ”

"Of course, it's because of the recent bizarre cases in Beijing." Yan Chong touched his sparse beard and said, "After the news that someone was burned to death in the capital on the third day of the first year, Poor Dao knew that there were some things that I couldn't dodge. Sure enough, today's adults came to the door. ”

Lu Zhen took a slight breath, and then said solemnly: "It seems that the Taoist chief really has his own opinion on this series of cases?" In this case, I also ask the Taoist chief to guide me through the maze, so that I can catch the murderer as soon as possible. ”

"It seems that the adults have seen that in fact, the recent cases in Beijing are man-made, not some ghosts?"

"Exactly. This is exactly what the official is puzzled about

Place. So why did the murderer go to such great lengths to create such a case? If they hadn't used such horrific methods, my Jinyi Wei would not have been involved in ordinary murders at all, and maybe they would have been safer. ”

"Yes, if they really just want to kill people, they really don't need to make such a big fuss. But from the very beginning, killing was a means, not an end. In other words, killing people by those methods is the result they want to see. ”

"You mean, the five elements are born together, and the killing methods are interlocking?" Lu Jin's face suddenly tightened, and he leaned forward and asked.

"The Five Elements are just some of the most superficial methods of my Taoism, but they are far from having much effect. However, with the root of the five elements and then the blood sacrifice, it can use the power of yin and yang to reverse the situation. Especially when it is supplemented by another Dao method, when the two are combined, its effect is enough to change the world! Yan Chong said with a serious expression.

It's a pity that Lu Zhen couldn't understand this: "Dao Chief, please be more clear, what else should the Five Elements of the Dao be used to cooperate?" What are they going to do about it? ”

At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and Mingyue walked in with a tray: "A few adults, please use tea." When Yan Chong saw it, he also smiled: "My lord, please." Although this tea is not a famous product, it is also planted and picked by poor people, and it is also fragrant and delicious. As he spoke, he took the tray, put the four cups away, and poured four cups of tea to the full.

This tea is really a little different, it is actually green in color, and the aroma is tangy, which is more desirable than the Longjing Biluo.

Although he wanted to get the answer he wanted from the other party's mouth immediately, since the other party was so warmly invited, Lu Zhen couldn't refuse, so he picked up the teacup as he said, wanting to take a sip of the green tea.

At this time, Yao Gan on the side said: "My lord, slow down." As he spoke, he looked at Yan Chong with some vigilance.

Lao Dao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed clearly: "I didn't expect this adult to be so careful." In that case, let's have a drink first. As he spoke, he picked up a teacup, raised his head and drank a full cup of tea.

Seeing this, Lu Zhen smiled bitterly. In fact, Yao Gan's caution is not wrong, the old way in front of him does look a little chattering, which makes people not too relieved. But seeing that the other party took a cup and drank it boldly, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhen also took a cup of tea, and planned to drink a cup as an apology after the other party put down the cup, after all, he still wanted to ask for further news from him.

But at this moment, a sharp sound suddenly sounded outside the window on the side of the bed, and then a green shadow had directly penetrated the thin window paper, shot directly into the room, and shot at the few people in front of the table.

"Be careful, sir!" Yao Gan's reaction was the fastest, and he immediately pounced on him, protecting Lu Zhen under him, while Zhao Jie had already drawn a knife in his hand and blocked the two of them.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that the target of this Qingying was not a few of them, but the Yanchong Daoist who had just taken the cup from his mouth!

Completely defenseless and unrescued, this green shadow shot directly into his chest and penetrated his already thin body......
