"...... princess, you" Wang Ming's eyes suddenly showed a light of hope, but then dimmed, and shook his head in frustration and said: "Xiaguan advises the princess not to take risks, this will not only make it difficult to protect herself, but also affect the people around her, so the princess should think twice......"

"Wang Ming, although it is difficult to change the deep-rooted customs of a place, but to destroy their blind obedience to the Holy Lord does not mean that it is possible to establish a new faith, you are too simple," Qian Fan looked at Wang Ming and asked calmly, "Is there anything else you want to say about the Holy Lord?" ”

"In fact, the Holy Lord is not from Mingcheng, although the people of Mingcheng were closed and backward in the past, there was no problem with food and clothing," Wang Ming shook his head and sighed: "Since the Holy Lord came here, the border people have not had a good life, and it has brought great trouble to the lives of the people, but those people have never thought so, they think that the reason why they are like this is because they are not pious enough, so the luster of the Holy Lord will not come to them."

"Tell me, where is that Holy Lord?" Qian Fan thought about it, looked at the sky again, and asked slowly.

"There is a holy temple in the southwest of Mingcheng, where the people go to worship, and the incense is very strong, and most of the silver taels in Mingcheng are there," Wang Ming explained: "It is also a loss that the imperial court has not forced Mingcheng to pay taxes and silver over the years, otherwise there is really no way for the lower officials." ”

"Well, you go down, we're all a little tired today, so we have to rest first," Qianfan said and yawned with his hands over his face.

When Wang Ming heard Qian Fan's words, he raised his head and asked, "Doesn't the princess plan to go and see the Holy Lord Temple?" ”

"Huh? Didn't you say there was a curfew at night? Qian Fan asked strangely, "Didn't you still ask me to follow the custom of Mingcheng and not go out at night?" ”

"It's the lower officials who are abrupt! Then the lower official will not disturb the rest of the adults, and the lower official will retire! A trace of disappointment flashed in Wang Ming's eyes, and he got up to say goodbye.

"Xiaoyu, send Lord Wang!" Qian Fan raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Yu standing outside, and when he saw Xiao Yu's clear look, he said with a smile: "Lord Wang, go slowly!" ”

"Why don't you tell the truth to that Wang Ming?" Xiao Bai'er saw that there was no one else in the room, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Fan'er, are you really not going to go to that Holy Lord Temple tonight?" ”

"Xiaobai'er, we have just arrived, and we haven't figured out anything about the situation, why are we in such a hurry?" Nalan Minhao said with a smile: "Even if you wait, it's okay." ”

"But how pitiful those people are, all their net worth was given to that holy lord, and they couldn't even take care of food and clothing...... Xiao Bai'er sighed and said: "But Fan'er, how do you know that you want to buy rice and noodles to give to the people?" You didn't see that Yang Lao just now, with a look of hemorrhoids, he really died of laughter. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, that Yang Lao may die tonight," Qian Fan replied lightly.

"Why!" Xiao Bai'er asked in surprise: "Although he is old, he is very energetic, he won't die so easily, right?" ”

"Xiaobai'er, are you stupid? Today, Bai Rifan cursed that Yang Lao, as a saint, how could he not achieve it? Nalan Minhao smiled proudly and said, "But we can't let him die, otherwise we won't be able to deal with that mysterious Holy Lord." ”

"It's not too early, let's rest early!" Qian Fan glanced outside, then turned to Wei Zhiyang and said, "Big brother, you and Xiao Bai'er sleep in the same room tonight, and you can take care of it." ”

"What?" When Xiao Bai'er heard Qianfan's words, she suddenly jumped up, waved her hand with a flushed face, and said, "No, no need!" I can take care of myself! I don't need Brother Wei to protect me! ”

"Xiaobai'er, don't make trouble, we don't know the situation inside here, it's too dangerous!" Nalan Minhao patted Wei Zhiyang's shoulder with a smile and said, "Your big brother Wei's martial arts are very strong, and it is more than enough to protect you, you are obedient, don't worry about us!" ”

"You guys be careful, Xiaobai'er, I'll protect you!" Wei Zhiyang knew that although Qianfan and Nalan Minhao kept saying that they would not go out at night, Bacheng had other plans, so he pulled up Xiao Bai'er and said, "Let's go back first!" ”

"Oh, Xiaobai'er, you have to seize the opportunity!" Nalan Minhao looked at their backs and suddenly shouted, and when he saw Xiao Bai'er's instantly stiff back and his head hanging down to the ground, he not only laughed.

Qian Fan walked over and kicked him, and said with a smile: "Shall we go to the Holy Lord Temple first tonight or go to see that Yang Lao first?" ”

"Of course, let's go see the insider first!" Nalan Minhao snorted coldly and said: "That guy must be greedy for a lot of silver taels, you see that everyone else has a dish, only he is red-faced, how can such a person die!" ”

In the dead of night, Qianfan, Nalan Minhao and Hanshuang walked quickly through the streets in night clothes, and soon touched the residence of the old Yang, Qianfan stretched out her thumb to the frost, and she asked the frost to follow this Yang Lao, but she didn't expect the frost to remember so clearly.

Hanshuang pointed down, Nalan Minhao and Qianfan glanced at each other, they both nodded, and the three of them fell lightly into the courtyard, Hanshuang took them left and right, and finally arrived at the study where Yang Lao was, looking at the two shadows cast under the lamp, Qianfan immediately made a gesture, and Nalan Minhao broke in directly.

Sure enough, there was a man in black and a depressed Yang Lao in the study, and when the man in black saw Nalan Minhao and them, he was obviously very surprised, and suddenly threw out a smoke ball, and Qian Fan shouted: "Frost, hold down that Yang Lao!" ”

When the smoke cleared, Qian Fan saw that the frost had knocked over the poisonous wine that Yang Lao was about to send to his mouth to the ground, and Nalan Minhao had already fought with the man in black, so he walked up to Yang Lao with confidence and said, "Why, you won't hesitate to use your life to prove that the words of this saint are useful?" ”

"How dare you break the rules of the curfew!" The old man Yang shouted with a hideous face: "If you stop me from dying today, I will die even worse!" Why won't you let me go! ”

"I don't care if you die badly?" Qian Fan said with a smile: "I only know that you fall into my hands, if you refuse to recruit, you will also die a miserable death, do you want to try?" ”

"I am faithful to the Lord! Don't think that you are lucky enough to be here to avoid the curfew, and you don't know how you died! That Yang Lao looked indifferent, and said with a sneer: "The Holy Lord will not spare you!" ”

"Okay, I'll wait to see how that Holy Lord comes to deal with me!" Qian Fan looked at Yang Lao, suddenly took out a pill from his sleeve, and then pinched Yang Lao's chin and gave it to him.

"What did you give me!" That Yang Lao was like a great enemy, he didn't know what Qian Fan had eaten for him, and looked at him in fear.

"My little pet likes the location of that pill very much, and she will go to your stomach in a while," Qian Fan said with a smile, and then said as if he remembered something: "Ah, by the way, I forgot to tell you one of the most important things, this little pet's name is called Heart Devouring Gu, which can make you tell all your secrets, I think you should like it very much." ”

As soon as Qianfan's voice fell, Nalan Minhao had already subdued the man in black, and suddenly ripped off the man's face scarf, Nalan Minhao was startled, and then flew back and shouted: "Hurry up!" It's corpse poison! ”

Frost picked up Yang Lao and followed Qian Fan and Nalan Minhao to retreat not far away, the man in black suddenly burst open, a puff of purple smoke filled the air, Qian Fan frowned and said, "What's the matter?" Necropsy? ”

"The corpse control technique in the Western Regions is to control people who have just died, and it is generally used on the battlefield, but this is not, all of them are people who have been dead for a long time," Nalan Minhao remembered the rotten face just now, and immediately vomited a few times, and said depressedly: "It's all rotten, damn ......"

Can make Nalan Minhao suddenly burst into foul mouth, presumably Fang Cai's face is by no means ordinary ugly, Qian Fan lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said: "But when you fought him just now, he was obviously a good person, wasn't he?" ”

"Well, when I fought with him just now, I could be sure that he was a human being, but after taking off the scarf, that person suddenly had a frightened expression, and then it rotted ......" Nalan Minhao breathed a long sigh of relief and said dissatisfiedly: "I think that Holy Lord is a pervert!" ”

"Nalan Minhao, have you ever wondered why they don't hang out at night?" Qian Fan knew that the frost had knocked that Yang Lao unconscious, pointed to Yang Lao's exposed but already somewhat shriveled fingers, and suddenly took off the cloak on his body to cover the unconscious Yang Lao, and said coldly: "Presumably they are all poisoned, and this poison will turn into a dry corpse as long as it sees the moonlight, and then burst, and then dissipate with the wind, then those who are missing must be able to explain it clearly." ”

"What about us?" Nalan Minhao didn't expect Qian Fan to think of this, so he frowned and said: "We haven't drunk water or eaten since we entered the city, so we are not afraid of the moonlight, but the food of these people has been handed over to the Holy Lord, and what they eat on weekdays is some potatoes and the like to satisfy their hunger, so it is very likely that the water they drink is the problem!" ”

"So, the reason why that Holy Lord was able to control them from going out at night was because of this!" Qian Fan turned his head and asked Nalan Minhao, "What makes people afraid of moonlight?" ”

"I don't know this very well, you can ask Cui Yan when you go back," Nalan Minhao looked at the old Yang and said, "That's it, let's take this person back for interrogation first, and then find a way to go to the Holy Lord Temple." ”

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, frost, take Yang Lao back to take good care, I will go to the Holy Lord Temple with the prince, and inform everyone to drink their own water, eat their own things, don't touch the water and food here." Qian Fan looked at Frost and ordered, "In addition, tell Cui Yan about Fang Cai, and let her study it carefully to see what can make people so afraid of moonlight!" ”

Hanshuang was ordered to leave, Qianfan and Nalan Minhao walked in the direction of the Holy Lord Temple with the previous map, and before they got close to the Holy Lord Temple, Nalan Minhao suddenly grabbed Qianfan, and then hid his figure, pointing to the more than 100 people kneeling at the door of the Holy Lord Temple and whispered: "I'm obedient!" This holy lord can't be a youkai, right? Do you still want to absorb the moonlight and become an immortal? ”
