Chapter 653: Traces
The housekeeper was also a bit of a city government, and he was suspicious of Bai Feng Zhenren in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, and after getting Bai Feng Zhenren's verbal promise, he hurriedly ran back.
"For today's plan, I can only pass on the book family, please move the immortal masters in other places to investigate this matter thoroughly and recover the two young ladies." In the housekeeper's heart, the only one who can deal with those immortal masters is the immortal master, and there is no other way than to spend a great deal of money to invite other cultivators.
Luo Han shook his head: "The surrounding area of Changye City is barren, and it takes several hours for ordinary people in the nearest city to walk, not to mention that only border cities and big cities have cultivators stationed there, and as for the cultivation sect, it is hidden in the mountains and forests, and it is difficult for ordinary people to find their traces." What's more, even if someone is willing to help, why should they attack Bai Feng Zhenren without evidence? ”
The housekeeper hurriedly said, "How is that good?" ”
Luo Han said: "You still have to invite people, and there is nothing wrong with being prepared." But we can't pin all our hopes on other cultivators. If you can trust our brother, our brother will be responsible for rescuing the two young ladies. How is it? ”
The housekeeper thought about it, and said helplessly: "It can only be like this, there are five young heroes." ”
"When the road is uneven, it is within my generation's duty to draw a sword to help." Luo Han hugged his fists and said, "Let's go now and say goodbye." ”
The five of them went out, followed the route that the housekeeper had said before, and soon found Bai Feng's Taoist temple. Cultivators like this who contribute to the imperial court will have their own Taoist temple in the local city, and they will practice in the Taoist temple when they have nothing to do, accept a few disciples, and accept some incense, which is quite leisurely.
Since it is the Taoist temple of Bai Feng Zhenren, the name is naturally taken by Bai Feng Zhenren, and the name is Bai Feng Temple. At this time, the gate was opened, and two little road boys were disturbing the dead leaves falling at night in the courtyard. If the housekeeper had come late, he wouldn't have found that clue.
Luo Han said in a low voice: "I met with that Taoist priest, but I didn't come forward. Go in and have a look. ”
The four of them nodded, and it was needless to say that they knew what to see.
Luo Han ordered morning tea in a restaurant near the Taoist temple, and sat by the window while watching the situation of the Taoist temple from the second floor. From this position, you can see that outside the courtyard and main hall of the temple, other places are a little difficult because of the barrier of buildings.
Huoyun and the four of them entered the Taoist temple for a long time, and although Luo Han was very slow, he had to add money so that he was not blasted out by Xiao Er. came out an hour later, went straight to the restaurant, and sat next to Luo Han.
Luo Han asked in a low voice, "Is there anything to gain?" ”
Huoyun whispered: "There are a total of twenty-five Taoist priests in Bai Feng Guan, in addition to Bai Feng Zhenren, there are three disciples who have cultivation, and there are five Taoist children, who should be Bai Feng Zhenren's apprentice reserve, and if you have good qualifications, you will have the opportunity to be accepted as a disciple." The others are all fire workers, at most they draw talismans and interpret dreams, but they are ordinary people. I heard a Taoist boy say that Bai Feng Zhenren's three disciples often wander around the city, especially like to make friends with businessmen, and some of them are not doing their jobs, but Bai Feng Zhenren never cares. ”
Wuji added, "I got a message from a fireworker that it was said that recently, Bai Fengguan had a faint baby cry every night, but I couldn't find the source. Some say it's a cat meow. ”
Xiaoyao said: "Bai Feng Zhenren has been in retreat a lot recently, and during the retreat, the food is sent to the door by the Taoist boy and then leaves, and no one can pick up Bai Feng Zhenren. ”
"With the strength we can use, there are three routes that can be infiltrated silently. ”
Luo Han is very satisfied, he deserves to be the captain of a strong team, and he will not disappoint.
From these clues, the general situation can already be sorted out. Bai Feng Zhenren should have recently obtained an evil spell, or he had obtained it a long time ago but recently needed to use it to achieve some kind of purpose, so he began to collect babies. The three disciples are insiders and are specifically responsible for helping him find out the news, focusing on foreign babies. As for why it is foreign, this point will be discussed later. It wasn't necessarily Bai Feng Zhenren himself who did it, but it could also be three disciples. But no one else in the temple knew about it. In addition, ruling out the possibility that Bai Feng Zhenren searched for the baby from other places, there was an interval between his several crimes, and the Huogong Daoist could hear the baby's cry every night, so this was good news, indicating that he would not kill the child immediately, and there was a high chance that the Jiang Xue'e sisters would not have an accident for the time being. Furthermore, the baby's eating, drinking, and Lazar is a problem, and Bai Feng Zhenren should not put it in his own room, and it can almost be considered that there is a secret room in Bai Fengguan, which is specially used to place these babies, and it is likely that there is a special nurse responsible for taking care of it. It's not convenient for us to fight Bai Feng directly, it's best to find out where the secret room is and sneak into it to rescue the child. ”
In the morning, there were very few people in the restaurant, and a few people controlled the volume, but it was not noticeable. At this time, Luo Han noticed that a Taoist priest came out of Bai Fengguan and walked leisurely towards the restaurant.
"It should be one of those three disciples, withdraw first." Luo Han raised his voice and said, "Little Er, check out." ”
As soon as the account was settled, the five of them went down the stairs and bumped into the Taoist priest going upstairs. Luo Han and the Taoist priest looked at each other, and the Taoist priest was obviously stunned for a moment. Luo Han coughed a few times, turned his head to Wuji in front of him and said, "I knew that I wouldn't drink, it's really troublesome." ”
Wuji was baffled by this headless and brainless words, and it was not stupid to capture him, and he quickly reacted that this must have been said to the Taoist priest, so he said casually: "Who told you not to listen to persuasion, not to let you drink, you still sneaked so far to drink, you really don't take your body seriously?" ”
As he spoke, everyone walked out of the restaurant and into the alley next to him.
Luo Han looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "That person knows me, most likely the person who stole Jiang Xue'e's sisters last night." He must have been suspicious when I showed up here and couldn't let him go back. ”
Wuji said: "Then tie him up, just ask about the location of the secret room." ”
Everyone nodded. Xiaoyao said: "I'll go and prepare." ”
Half an hour later, the Taoist priest came out of the restaurant, turned out a carriage from the alley next to him, and it was driven by two bearded men, who drove the carriage to stop beside him. The two bearded men jumped out of the carriage, and the Taoist priest was wondering, when the curtain of the carriage opened a corner, and a blowpipe popped out, squirting out a flying needle and shooting the Taoist priest in the neck. The Taoist priest's eyes immediately darkened, and two bearded men hurriedly stepped forward to support him, respectfully helped him into the carriage, and then drove away.
It was as if a distinguished guest was warmly invited, without attracting the special attention of the others on the street.
In a vacant house, the carriage drove in through the back door, and the Taoist priest was carried into the firewood room, tied up with flowers. Then a bearded man stabbed the Taoist priest in the thigh with a dagger, and the Taoist priest immediately woke up in pain, and was about to scream, but he was gagged by a mass of rags, and could only whimper and do a meaningless struggle.
At this time, a young man walked in, the Taoist priest's eyes widened, he remembered this person, wasn't it the same person who stopped him last night? I saw it in the restaurant just now, and it seems that he secretly ran out to drink regardless of his injuries.
Luo Han squatted in front of the Taoist priest with a smile, and asked with a pleasant face, "Daoist, do you remember being below?" ”
The Taoist priest was just about to subconsciously nod, and then realized that if he had seen him before, wouldn't he not confess himself? Immediately shook his head.
"Oh. If you don't know me, then I'm afraid it's not good for us to kidnap people on the street and spread the word, since you don't know me, it's worthless, so let's kill it. ”
The Taoist priest was startled, and hurriedly struggled, his mouth made a whining sound in defense, and his head shook like a rattle.
"Hey, what do you mean by that? Do you know me? ”
The Taoist priest nodded hurriedly.
"In this case, then you promise not to scream, we can have a good chat."
The Taoist priest nodded.
Luo Han pulled out the cloth ball in the Taoist priest's mouth, and the Taoist priest gasped a few times and said, "Who are you?" ”
Luo Han smiled: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is who you are." ”
"I am Changqing, the second disciple of Bai Feng Zhenren, if something happens to me, my master will not let you go. Even if you have wings, you don't want to escape from the palm of Master's old man's hand. ”
Luo Han didn't care, but asked a question that was not related: "Do you have a family?" ”
The Taoist priest shook his head: "In the early years of war, my parents died, and it was the master who took me in." ”
"Do you have a lover?"
"I am a cultivator, pure in heart and few desires......"
"Huh...... Is it? Luo Han smiled noncommittally and said, "In other words, the closest person you are in this world is your master?" ”
"So what?"
"Then what do you think is more important in this world to you than your life?"
Daoist Changqing opened his mouth, but shook his head: "Why should I answer your question?" ”
Luo Han smiled again, he knew that compared to the vicious bad guy, a bad guy with a smile on his face was more terrifying, because it would give people a feeling that everything was under the control of the opponent, as if he had eaten his own sense of powerlessness, and it also meant that this person's heart was extremely cold, and his methods would only be more perverted than those with a fierce face.
There was no doubt that Luo Han's smile made the Taoist priest's heart furious, and he couldn't help but say, "What are you laughing at?" What's so funny? I warn you, this is Changye City, my master's territory. If you dare to touch me, be careful of the violent death of relatives within three generations. ”
It's a pity that Luo Han is afraid of him? Pretended to be surprised: "Yo, Bai Feng Zhenren still has this ability?" It is worthy of being a crooked way of evil, admiration and admiration. ”
The Taoist priest was furious: "Master, his old man is not an evil sect, he is a direct way to immortality." ”
"Plug it up first." Luo Han waved his hand, and the two bearded men blocked the Taoist priest's mouth and followed Luo Han out of the door.
"This kid doesn't look easy to deal with, and he doesn't get in oil and salt." A bearded man spoke, and it was none other than Huoyun.
The other voice was infinite: "Or torture?" Up and down for 5,000 years of capital punishment is the same, if you don't believe him, you won't recruit. ”
Luo Han shook his head flatly: "No need, I know his weakness." ”
The two said in unison: "What weakness? ”
"This guy has an extreme admiration for Bai Feng Zhenren, and I suspect that it is because he regards Bai Feng Zhenren as his father. He is willing to do this kind of intolerable thing for Bai Feng Zhenren, and he also thinks that this is the road to heaven, which shows that Bai Feng Zhenren has been very successful in brainwashing him. I'm not sure if he's afraid of death now, and if we're not afraid of death, we'll expose our purpose in advance, and another plan won't be implemented. ”
"What's the plan?"
"We ...... Such...... Again......
Half an hour later, Luo Han returned to the firewood room, tore off the cloth ball from Daoist Changqing's mouth, and asked, "Do you know what Bai Feng Zhenren is holding the baby for?" ”
Changqing said disdainfully: "Of course I know, do you want to persuade me with ethics and morality?" My master said that people are reincarnated, and every time they are reincarnated, they will have clear memories of their past lives. These babies are born shortly ago, ignorant and ignorant, and even if they die, they don't have any burden, but they just go to reincarnate again, and soon they will come back into this world, and we can't do them any harm at all. But Master, he can get great benefits from it, pointing directly to the path of immortality. Do you say I do it or not. ”
"Bai Feng's real person's point of view is quite tricky." Luo Han also had to admit that from this point of view, although Bai Feng's real person's point of view was not impeccable, it would be difficult to find an entry point for refutation for a while. However, Luo Han didn't intend to refute this, he said with a pleasant face: "Little Daoist, do you know that there is a word in Buddhism called going mad? ”
Changqing said: "We are not Buddhists, I am Taoists." ”
Luo Han shook his head: "Although the factions are different, the principle is the same. Let me ask you, is your master's practice before very different from what it is now? ”
Changqing was stunned for a moment and nodded: "This...... It seems that this is really the case. ”
"If you are also cultivating, you should understand that long-term cultivation will leave a deep imprint on your body, and it is not easy to switch to other methods. If you are not careful, you may damage your cultivation because of the conflict of the true element. ”
Changqing thought about it, this is the truth, but he still didn't understand what the other party meant by saying this.
Luo Han raised his hand to shift his attention to the palm of his hand, deliberately not looking at Changqing, and said, "You don't have to guess, we just want to save those children." It's just that I don't think it's just for us, so I didn't do anything to you. Otherwise, I will torture you directly, don't think that you can hold on to your bones, there are too many cruel punishments in this world that can make people's brains stop thinking, once you use them, I guarantee that you can't control your mouth. But I didn't want to use it because I thought we could actually work together. ”
Changqing was a little confused, he knew that what he did was hurtful in the eyes of outsiders, and he was ready to be tortured to extract a confession in the hands of this group of people, even if the other party did not need to be tortured because of his reputation, he would not be beaten. But this person actually said in a serious way that they could cooperate, and actually said that it would be good for the master.
"Tell me, what's in it for my master? I'm not a fool, how can it be a good thing to stop Master's cultivation? ”
Luo Han's gaze continued to wander, and he said, "You should already understand that this matter has been exposed." As long as we speak out, with this kind of behavior that is not tolerated by heaven, it is enough to make the entire cultivation world angry, and your master will become a rat crossing the street, and everyone will shout and beat him. The master who is incomparably noble in your eyes will hide in the shadows for the rest of his life. ”
