Chapter 278: The Missing Child

This mountain immortal is eclectic, whether it is a human, a beast or a demon, as long as he has good qualifications, he will be included in the disciple and teach carefully, so there are many birds and beasts, mountain spirits and tree monsters among the disciples.

After the formation of this town, the fairy would send apprentices down the mountain every once in a while to buy daily necessities, not only the price was very high, but also never had a dispute with the merchants or residents, and once exterminated a group of bandits who often harassed the neighborhood, so they got along very well with the townspeople, and the residents had long been accustomed to their existence.

However, about twenty years ago, the mountain immortal suddenly retreated and cultivated, this closure is that he has not been out of the customs for a full twenty years, and his disciples have left a lot in the past twenty years, and now there are less than a hundred and ten beginner disciples with low mana who are still living in the Taoist temple on this mountain, and the reason why they did not leave is probably because there is no place to go, and at least they have no worries about food and clothing if they stay here.

After listening to Xiao Er's introduction, everyone was immediately almost certain that this mountain piercing fairy was the 10,000-year-old mountain demon, so after a brief discussion, they immediately ran over to catch up with the two fox-headed monsters and blocked their way.

The 10,000-year-old mountain demon is now injured a lot, and it is estimated that it also needs to be treated, so the effect of Xuan Chen's conversation should be the best, and at this time, this god stick who has broken the color ring directly stepped forward and said:

"Two Dao brothers, please stay."

The two monsters saw someone blocking the road at the beginning, and they were still a little wary, but when they saw that Xuanchen was dressed as a monk, and his attitude was very polite, he also returned the salute and said:

"Master, is there something going on?"

Hearing this, Xuanchen immediately smiled and said:

"The poor monk is a monk of the Tang Huasheng Temple in the East Tu, traveling here, wanting to find a temple to spend the night, Buddhism and Taoism are a family, and I hope that the two Taoist brothers will be convenient."

One of the fox demons immediately looked happy when he heard this, and hurriedly said:

"Huasheng Temple, that's a famous and decent family in the Three Realms, I heard that the medical skills are superb, and it happens to be the master...

Before he finished speaking, he was immediately glared at fiercely by another fox demon, and then said coldly to Xuan Chen:

"Master, I'm really sorry, it's not convenient for us to stay with outsiders now, so please find another place for the master and say goodbye."

After speaking, he no longer bothered with Xuanchen, and the group left on their own.

Although they failed to sneak into the mountain view, judging from the performance of these two little monsters, there must be no defense in the mountain view now, otherwise they would not be so cautious, but be careful to walk the boat for ten thousand years, everyone still decided to go up the mountain to investigate at night.

Because of the abundant time, Mei Yan took Lei Yun to accompany her to go shopping, and Xuan Chen pulled Meng Yuan to accompany him to buy local specialties, ready to take them back to his daughter King, Ling Yunzi was obviously a little depressed because of the loss of the four laws of Qingyun, but because there were many hunters in this town, there were many blacksmith shops, so he ran to those blacksmith shops alone to buy a sword and use it first.

As soon as Lei Yun accompanied Mei Yan out of a jewelry store, he saw several people dressed as hunters hurrying down the street, followed by several young and sturdy juniors, all with hunting knives at their waists, looking very anxious.

Lei Yun and Mei Yan glanced at each other, and then followed together, and soon came to a house living in the alley, before entering the door, the woman's cry came out, the two came closer to take a look, and found that there was already a courtyard of people here, a middle-aged woman and a young woman were sitting on the ground and holding their heads and crying.

The women on the sidelines secretly wiped their tears together, the men frowned and sighed, and some people talked about the situation to the new onlookers, Lei Yun listened for a while before he knew that it was a five-year-old boy who had lost a five-year-old boy at home, but the strange thing is that the child suddenly disappeared during a nap, and the child's mother and grandmother never even left the child half a step.

Although it was a little weird, Lei Yun didn't want to be nosy, so he pulled Mei Yan and was about to leave, who knew that at this time, the previous hunters suddenly walked out of the house, and the onlookers immediately quieted down, and they all looked at them with blank eyes.

The leader is a man with a national character face, and the thick and slightly drooping corners of his mouth show that he is a person with a strong character, but even such a person, in the face of such a situation, sighed slightly, and then said:

"There's no trace or smell left, and we can't see what's going on?"

At this time, an old man among the onlookers suddenly said in a loud voice:

"Master Long, you are the leader of our Orion in Bingyun Town, and you are also our backbone, it has only been a few days, and more than ten children have been lost in the town, and now people are panicking, you have to think of a way."

Orion, who was known as Master Long, nodded slightly when he heard this, and said to everyone:

"Don't worry, I have arranged for someone to vacate one of the granaries in the town, and they will be cleaned tomorrow, and when the time comes, all the children in the town will be gathered, and everyone will take care of them in the granary, and we can also arrange manpower to protect them, first solve the safety of the children, and then carefully search for the missing children."

When everyone heard this, they immediately started talking in a whisper, naturally saying everything, but Master Long no longer paid attention to everyone and left with people.

Lei Yun and Mei Yan did not leave, the two of them took this opportunity to talk to the crowd around them, and soon inquired about the current situation in the town:

It turns out that because this Bingyun Town is located in a remote area and the area is not large, the government has not sent officials to manage it, but only uses the village management model to let the residents of the town spontaneously elect a town mayor to manage the residents to maintain order.

The Orion known as Master Ryu was named Ryu Pintu, the leader of the Orion here, who was not only excellent in martial arts, but also impartial and selfless, so he was chosen to be the mayor of the town.

Although this dragon product map is a hunter, but also literate and hyphenation, quite a bit of literary brilliance, since becoming the mayor of the town, he built a special mountain goods trading market, the mountain goods trading here is standardized, requiring the market transactions must comply with two points: one is to clearly mark the price, the other is the money and goods are clear. Then a tax of 10% will be charged as the daily maintenance and construction cost of the town.

This initiative was immediately welcomed by the local residents and merchants, and everyone's interests were effectively protected, so that the number of merchants who came to receive the goods greatly increased, and the medicine pickers and hunters also worked harder to dig and hunt because they knew how much money they could make, and the town became more prosperous.

With this tax guarantee, Long Pintu led the residents of the town to build granaries, build medical halls, and run schools, and the children did not need money to study and the residents to treat diseases.

In a few years, Long Pintu has built the town impressively, not only won the love of the majority of residents, but also received awards from the government.

Despite such achievements, Long Pintu still does not change his true character as an Orion, and often goes up the mountain to hunt every day, but he is not a pedantic person, and those inexhaustible taxes are also misappropriated by him to train a group of young excellent hunters as a force to maintain law and order, of course, he himself also privately intercepted some and built a large mansion for his family to live in.

However, half a month ago, the peaceful life of the town was broken by a series of disappearances of children, not only the modus operandi of the crime was incredible, but also no trace was left, even Long Pintu and their hunters who are good at tracing and finding traces failed to find any clues, which made people panic.

Although this matter is not something that the two of them should be in charge of, but anyone who encounters such an angry thing as stealing a child will not sit idly by, the two discussed it, and then went into the house where the child disappeared and took a closer look, but even if they used detection skills, there was still no discovery.

After returning to the inn, Lei Yun told him about this matter and several other people, Xuan Chen and Meng Yuan naturally had an opinion with Lei Yun, Ling Yunzi practiced under the Bodhi Patriarch, and he was also jealous and hateful, and immediately said that he would help the residents of the town find the missing child.

Seeing that everyone's opinions were unanimous, Lei Yun said:

"Tonight, let's go to the mountain as planned, I heard that Long Pintu said that tomorrow they will gather the children in a granary to take care of them, and when the time comes, we will also go to help, and we will definitely be able to catch that guy."

Everyone had no opinion when they heard this, so as soon as it got dark, everyone set off towards the view of the mountain.

This view of the mountain is built on the peak of the Bingyun Mountain, it is icy and snowy all the year round, there is only one path connected to the outside world, and at the same time, to reach the view, you must pass through an abyss of about ten zhang wide, and there is no bridge here.

The disciples in the view go down the mountain to buy goods, and they are generally sent to the edge of the abyss, and then they use their magical powers to fly back directly with things in the sky, so except for the disciples in the view, outsiders cannot go up to this view through the mountain.
