Chapter XVIII: Entrapment

[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that the immortals of Taoism pretended to be mountain goods sellers to enter the city, and after hearing about the murder, they all suspected whether it was related to tree spirits. And Zhao Liang came to the courtyard of the Mu family, and after complaining, Mu Qingming told Zhao Liang that after thinking about other methods, Zhao Liang left. And Tie Hua told Mu Qingming that if he wanted to capture the rat spirit, it was better to prepare some cat urine first. After attracting Miaotian to detect that there were traces of evil people in the city, and after reporting it to Mu Qingming, the dragon lockers temporarily changed their plans. The Immortal Daoists, who had walked around the city, confirmed the place where the rat spirits were infested, and hurried to meet on the street of the City God's Temple. At night, Changshengdao laid a net on the street, intending to start trapping rat spirits and forcibly seizing the gold. 】

In the kitchen of the small courtyard of the wooden family, the aroma is overflowing, and the smoke curls from the chimney mouth outside the house.

Mo Han and Miao Yu were busy in it, making delicious dishes one after another. The little corpse baby Hanquan who had saliva had already quietly run to the kitchen, standing against the door, looking at the fragrant stove in anticipation. Waiting for Mo Han to fry the fried meat slices, give him a taste of addiction first.

In the main hall, Tie Hua saw that Mu Qingming had a faint confidence on his face when he spoke, and knew that Mu Qingming must have made full preparations. didn't say much more suggestions, just turned his head to look at the side of the gate, Zhao Liang put it down, and said after a moment of silence: "This Inspector Zhao is still so easy to get angry when he encounters something related to crime." ”。

After getting along for a while, Tie Hua found that Zhao Liang was indeed a person with some conscience, and he was also righteous, so he was not as vigilant and defensive as before to Zhao Liang, and he was also a lot more friendly.

"Well, his sense of justice is sometimes quite heavy." Mu Qingming replied casually, and said, "Uncle Tiehua, let Aunt Tie come over and eat with us; I've got a few jars of barley wine and mead brought by the caravan, just right for you to drink. ”。

After that, Mu Qingming stood up and was about to go to get the wine, but just as he left the chair, Miaotian's voice came from his mind: "Young Master, I noticed that there are traces of evil qi in the city, and several of them pass through the Zhangtang Pier where we are working. ”。

Mu Qingming put down the foot that had been raised, and the indifferent smile on his face slowly receded.

Seeing this, Tie Hua frowned and took out his cigarette stick, silently staring at Mu Qingming's thoughtful appearance, and began to slowly load the tobacco.

"Can you be sure it's the Immortal Dao?" Mu Qing pondered for a while, and then used his mind to transmit the sound and talk to Miaotian; In this Kunming dam, people with evil spirits, Mu Qingming will only be the first to think of being an immortal Taoist.

And there is information that the Immortal Dao is dormant on the West Mountain, and if you come down from the West Mountain to enter the city, you must pass through the area west of the city, otherwise you will have to take a detour.

That's why Mu Qingming asked.

"It should be, this evil qi is similar to the evil qi that emanates from the air when the Immortal Dao Evil Technique is activated, not far behind." Immediately after, Miaotian's thoughts were transmitted again.

"I'll let Uncle Tie Hua go over, keep an eye on them, and find out their purpose and whereabouts." Mu Qingming pondered for a moment, and after saying goodbye to Miaotian, he turned to look at Tie Hua, who was smoking.

"You don't have to say it, I'll go over here." Tie Hua, who had also received the transmission of Miaotian's thoughts, spit out a series of smoke rings, and before Mu Qingming could speak, he had already said, "If it is the Immortal Dao, maybe it is for the rat spirit." ”。

After saying that, he stood up and told Mu Qingming again: "Young Master, it's best to take this possibility into account, if necessary, your plan to hunt down the rat spirit can be changed." ”。

After speaking, Tie Birch, who picked up the cigarette stick again, strode out towards the sunny outside of the house.

Mu Qingming nodded his head and fell into deep thought; If the Immortal Dao is also headed for the rat spirit, it must be the rumored gold stolen by the rat spirit, and he must change his plan to kill two birds with one stone if he can catch the rat spirit and catch the immortal path......

In the twilight, the immortals who had been in the city for a day gathered in a small restaurant in the Yunjin Night Market, sat down one after another, and ordered a few side dishes.

There was a lot of noise outside the hall, and a man in tattered clothes and beggar appearance, without Changshengdao's knowledge, quietly followed them to the door of the hall, sat on the ground against the doorpost, quietly looked at the lively and noisy night market in front of him, and moved the dirty ears under the broken straw hat he was wearing on his head.

And the hall is not quiet, it is also noisy, and even in the corner of the restaurant, where the smell of wine is diffused, there is a louder shout of punching. The reverberation around the beam does not disperse for a long time.

The Immortal Dao disciples sitting in the corners of the deep hall had been in the secret room on the West Mountain for a long time, and they had long been accustomed to the quiet environment. Now that it is so noisy, it can't help but make their heads big and their hearts angry.

While waiting for the food to be served, the noisy fist strokes and shouts also made one of the Immortal Daoists already have a blue face, and the ten fingers of his hands suddenly clenched, and the green tendons on the back of his hand immediately burst out.

The yellow-skinned disciple was quick with his eyes, grabbed the wrist of the angry disciple, glared at the other party, and then shook his head silently and slowly, signaling the disciple to hold back, don't cause trouble.

Now in the city of Kunming, there is no longer a foothold for the Immortal Dao, and after the civil strife launched by the Emperor Heli Emperor, he fought with the Dragon Lock Man, which made the Immortal Dao have been greatly injured. The high-ranking officials in the city who were secretly their followers were also secretly washed away by the dragon lockers, and it was impossible to protect the Immortal Dao anymore; In addition, the dragon lockers are still entrenched in the city, and if the immortal Taoists make trouble in the city at this moment, they are simply looking for death, and the task given to them by Liu Yang cannot be completed because of this.

The yellow-skinned Immortal Daoist was the leader of the operation, and the Immortal Daoists called him Brother Chu; Now that the team leader had spoken, the other Immortal Daoists had no choice but to endure the annoying noise and quietly wait for the food to come up.

"This rat spirit is very good at hiding demonic energy, but it still leaves a lot of traces of demonic energy in the area of Chenghuangmiao Street." Among them, a cultist with yellow eyes, after being angry that the cultist put away his anger, whispered to Brother Chu: "We are almost certain that the rat spirit should be dormant in the area of Chenghuang Temple Street. ”。

As he spoke, his strange eyes, which were as yellow as glass, kept looking left and right, vigilantly looking around. Fortunately, the people around him were still engrossed in punching, and they didn't notice the people at their table at all.

His eyes are also very unique, his body is so yellow as glass, but he can see the demonic aura and ghost aura that ordinary people can't see. It was once regarded as a bad thing by the people of his hometown, and then he was co-opted by the Immortal Dao, and since then he has served the Immortal Dao.

"Well, then act after eating, so as not to have too many dreams at night." Brother Chu groaned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he also said in a low voice: "Then act according to the original plan; Team A was responsible for spreading the barrier on City God Temple Street, and I led Team B to trap rat spirits. ”。

When the other Immortal Daoists heard this, they all nodded their heads after humming softly.

While the Immortal Daoists were busy discussing the plan, they didn't notice that since they entered the hall, they were sitting on the ground against the doorpost at the door, and the man in the ragged clothes stood up after they were silent, pulled down the brim of the broken straw hat on his head a little, squeezed into the crowd, and quickly disappeared......

When midnight came, the yin qi between heaven and earth began to rise, diffusing in the night wind.

Every inch of land in the city of Kunming is immersed in the cold.

On the street of the City God's Temple, it was quiet. After the lights had been turned off, most of the street was shrouded in darkness like a tide, and all the buildings on the street had become blurred, and most of them could only see the outline clearly.

Silence crept in, spreading across the streets.

The four Immortal Taoists, standing in the shadows of the street and the end of the street, merged with the overwhelming darkness of the night, and crossed their hands in front of their chests, forming the same hand.

In an instant, an invisible barrier formed, enveloping Chenghuang Temple Street in the barrier, and while it was no longer disturbed by the outside world, the people in it could not escape.

Brother Chu took the remaining immortals and stood in front of the dilapidated City God Temple.

In the darkness, Brother Chu stood outside the temple gate, raising his eyes to look at the tattered shrine and the broken offering table in the Chenghuang Temple not far in front of him, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

In the midst of the enchantment, the night breeze on the street of the City God's Temple flickered, and there was only silence between heaven and earth, a death-like silence.

Close at hand, Brother Chu could clearly perceive that not far in front of him, in the City God's Temple that had been smashed by the soldiers, there was a demonic aura unique to rat spirits, floating out from the darkness under the tattered shrine.

Brother Chu frowned, raised his right hand, and the immortal Taoists who followed him saw this, and they all turned their heads a little, and then jumped on tiptoe, jumped onto the main hall of the City God Temple, and gently landed on the four cornices and corners, without making a sound.

Immediately afterwards, Brother Chu himself also jumped on tiptoe, and after flying into the air in an instant, his hands shook, and between the rattling of his sleeves, a little black dot flew out of his sleeves, landed on the ground below him, and rolled towards the gate of the City God Temple.

On closer inspection, it is not difficult to see that what is shaking off his sleeve is peanuts fried in hot oil. Each one is plump, with a little salt on the dark red and crispy skin.

These peanuts were all packed from the small restaurant where they had eaten before.

The hesitant rat spirit is a low-level monster, and it still retains the instinct of a mouse, and it is difficult to resist crispy food, so the immortal path trapping method is to use this thing to attract the rat spirit out, and then start to catch it.

They could be sure that the rat spirit was under the dilapidated shrine in the temple in front of them, in the midst of a hidden movement in the entrance of a cave. However, the rat spirit can shrink the bones, and the hole is very small, so it is difficult for the immortals to get into it, so they can only use food to attract the rat spirit first.

When the last peanut in Brother Chu's sleeve landed in the night wind and rolled out a few feet, Brother Chu had quietly landed on the roof of the house opposite the City God Temple.

He had just landed on the roof, and the four immortal Taoists standing on the upturned cornices around the main hall of the City God Temple had their hands crossed to their chests at the same time, ready to conclude the trick.

In the enchantment, the crescent moon behind the clouds swam out of the air, sprinkled with a faint moonlight, and was fixed at the temple gate of the City God Temple.

In the pale moonlight, the tattered, overgrown temple looked even more barren and dilapidated. The immortal Taoist named Brother Chu shook off the peanuts on the ground, and in the moonlight, they exuded a faint fragrance.

This faint fragrance overflowed, and after gathering, it diffused in the City God Temple, and it did not disperse for a long time.

The aroma slowly wafted towards the secret cave under the tattered shrine. After only a moment's effort, I saw two green lights of about an inch shining under the tattered shrine, flickering in the darkness.

Seeing this, Brother Chu on the opposite side turned up the corners of his mouth slightly.

Will the rat spirit be fooled out of the hole? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
