286~287, refining the secret art of the spirit, imprisoned
"Xue Protector, don't be in a hurry for the time being."
Xue Ruhai's voice fell, but Bailong muttered:
"These two dolls fled in the middle of the night, could it be that they found something? Wake them up and ask them first. ”
Xue Ruhai nodded, and reached out to press on the necks of the two teenagers.
After a while, under the stimulation of strength, the two gradually woke up.
As soon as they saw Bailong and Xue Ruhai in front of them, and then looked around at the surrounding environment, the faces of the dog baby and the tiger suddenly turned pale, and they couldn't stop trembling:
"White, Sister White......"
"Uncle Hai, spare your life, spare your life!"
In the face of the two begging for mercy, Bai Long's face showed a gentle smile:
"What are you two afraid of, who said they were going to harm you? Can you tell my sister why you two are running away? ”
Huzi was so frightened that he couldn't speak, but the dog baby was in a hurry, and said tremblingly:
"We, we didn't run away, we just wanted to go out at night to steal something in exchange for some money to spend."
Xue Ruhai also completely tore off his usual disguise, and sneered and lifted the small package in his hand:
"It's really ingenious that you steal things and bring all your belongings, the little cub doesn't tell the truth now, do you want to die?"
was exposed to the lie, and the faces of the two teenagers changed greatly, the two trembled, and the six gods had no master.
The white dragon still smiled and said:
"Okay, stop lying, why the hell are you running? Tell me obediently, I will let you go, otherwise you Uncle Hai will be angry, and I won't be able to protect you. ”
The situation was critical, and the dog's thoughts turned straight, and in the end he could only bite the bullet and say:
"It's, in fact, at noon, there were three masters from the government who inquired about the affairs of Shantang and gave us some rewards. We were worried that we had said something we shouldn't have said, and we were a little scared when we thought about it, so we thought about leaving the good hall so as not to get into trouble......"
"People from the government?"
Bailong's eyebrows raised, but Xue Ruhai frowned:
"How did I not know that they were coming?"
The dog baby cried and mourned: "The three masters were wearing civilian clothes and didn't come into the good hall, we were called over by them for questioning when we were cleaning at the door." ”
Xue Ruhai said coldly:
"Since they are wearing civilian clothes, how do you know that they are from the government, and they said it themselves?"
The dog baby said honestly:
"They didn't say it, but I remember seeing it, it was when the city was searched everywhere a while ago, so I recognized it."
A solemn look appeared in the white dragon's eyes:
"What did they ask?"
Dog's eyes roll:
"I asked some about the situation in the good hall, and I also asked if we recognized a helper named Alai, and I said I didn't know. Later, they said that we should be a spy in the Shan Tang and pass on the news to them. Sister Bai is very good to us, but we don't dare to offend the three masters, the two of us have no relatives, and it is really difficult to be caught between the two ends, so we can only leave here to avoid trouble. ”
What he said was reasonable, but the expressions of Bai Long and Xue Ruhai were slightly condensed.
"I was actually targeted by the eagle dog of the government......"
Xue Ruhai's face was not very good-looking:
"When did these lackeys with such a keen sense of smell become so keen?"
Bai Long said coldly:
"It seems that someone has been secretly inquiring before, and I haven't had time to deal with it yet, so it seems necessary to notify the altar master, so as not to spoil a big deal."
The two of you say a word, but the two teenagers Gouwa and Huzi are like falling into an ice cave.
called the lord of the government an eagle dog lackey, and also mentioned the so-called altar master, who would these two people be in front of him?
"Xue Protector, without further ado, let's leave after dealing with it."
At this time, Bai Long didn't look at the two frightened and inexplicable teenagers, and turned around.
Xue Ruhai smiled cruelly, and suddenly raised his hand one after another.
Just listen to the bang twice!
The two young men suddenly shattered and sunken their foreheads, and their thin bodies flew upside down.
By the time they landed on the ground, their eyes were wide open, their heads deformed, motionless, and silent.
As if crushing two ants casually, Xue Ruhai walked out of his sleeves and followed the white dragon out of the good hall, ghostly and disappeared into the night.
......
A moment later.
In a hidden underground chamber.
The secret room extended in all directions, faintly wafting the smell of blood, and the bloody Dao altar master who came out of the inner room looked at the arriving Bailong and Xue Ruhai:
"What is the matter with you two that you have found a new seed?"
The two saluted respectfully and reported:
"Lord Altar, it's a little bit of a problem."
"During the day today, three eagle dogs from the government found Shantang and began to secretly inquire and investigate, it seems that the disappearance of some beggars has attracted their attention."
"Huh?"
The Blood Spirit Dao Altar Master suddenly sneered and said:
"One or two people in the government are either corrupt officials or corpses, and there are still people who pay attention to these low-level beggars and homeless people? This was a surprise. ”
"We also think it's a little weird."
The white dragon asked:
"We have come to ask your Excellency, since the official eagle dog has noticed this, what should we do next?"
The Lord of the Blood Spirit Dao Altar said casually:
"It's just a few uninteresting eagle dogs, why do you need to ask this seat? Let Xue Ruhai take care of it directly, the spirit refining secret technique has just made some breakthroughs, and no one is allowed to interfere with it. ”
"Congratulations, sir."
Xue Ruhai thought about it and hesitated:
"But my lord, not long after the incident of the Flying Cedipede attacking the city, the atmosphere in the whole city is still a little tense, will such an act completely anger the government? In case of the opposite effect, will it affect you......"
"Don't worry, just do it."
The Blood Spirit Dao Altar Lord smiled lowly:
"The secret art of alchemy is not just for this seat to study, and that one is also very concerned about this. We are now in a cooperative relationship, as long as we don't do too much, someone will naturally carry it for us.
But you should also be careful when you do it, don't move too much, and it's best to leave a living mouth, find out how those eagles and dogs are eyeing us, and what they have found, and then report back to me when they are done. ”
Xue Ruhai didn't say anything more, and immediately promised: "Yes!" ”
The Blood Spirit Dao Altar Lord looked at the white dragon again:
"Also, those few spirit seedlings are about to run out, so you should hurry up over there and try to find as many spirit seedlings as possible to send them."
"Your subordinates should do their best."
The white dragon promised, and then hesitated:
"My lord, I don't know how many spirit seedlings are needed to completely succeed in the spirit refining secret technique? In the past two months, all the beggars and homeless people in the city have been screened, and only five have been found, if you want to continue to search, I am afraid that the scope will be expanded. ”
"You can start to expand the scope, and the funds of the altar are at your disposal."
The Lord of the Blood Spirit Dao Altar said slowly:
"The secret art of refining the soul has the ability to recreate the world, no matter how much it costs, you must continue to study, once the research is successful, the two of you are also heroes, and you are also qualified to accept this technique and jump out of the shackles of mortals."
Bai Long and Xue Ruhai were suddenly excited, and said:
"My lord, we can also carry the spiritual root and become the rumored celestial who can fly to the heavens and the earth in the true way of the immortals?"
"Of course!"
The Blood Spirit Dao Altar Master laughed:
"The reason why the Blood Spirit Dao will be wiped out by the imperial court family is because there are no ancients before and no one after this technique, and they can actually use the blood of the spiritual root to refine the blood spirit root, so that everyone has the possibility of being otherworldly and controlling the spiritual machine of heaven and earth.
However, this secret art is also more obscure and difficult than this seat imagined, and it will not succeed without a lot of attempts. However, according to the probability of one in a thousand of Linggen people, the experimental field of Lingqiu County is enough to be successfully studied, you can rest assured, as long as you do things well, this seat will definitely take you together to explore the so-called Immortal True Dao! ”
Bai Long and Xue Ruhai were so excited that they knelt on the ground one after another:
"Thank you, sir!"
"Subordinates will die in retribution!"
......
Naturally, I don't know about the strange conspiracy contained in the good hall.
The next day.
Chang Qing and Chai Tiefeng, who received Chen Zheng's instructions, began a targeted investigation of Deshantang and Bai Ruyan, the owner of Baiyulou.
It is worth mentioning that under Chen Zheng's promotion, both of them were promoted from the lowest-level officials, and their subordinates were in charge of a lot of people.
However, Chen Zheng specially reminded him not to startle the snake, so in the investigation, the two of them still went out in person, and each brought two or three errands to visit and investigate.
And their efficiency is also quite fast, just one day's work, they found some clues.
"Strange, strange......"
In the evening, in the tavern, after synthesizing all the information, Chang Qinghu doubted:
"Although this white jade building is as white as smoke, it can be called a daily gold, but there are dozens of idlers in Deshan Hall, and the daily food expenditure is hundreds of catties, is this white as smoke really a bodhisattva's heart? Why hadn't you heard about it earlier? ”
According to his experience, once there is any natural or man-made disaster in the city, most of the landlords and powerful people will ignore it, and a small number of them may pretend to put a few days of gruel mixed with sand under the leadership of the government.
For example, Deshantang, once it is put into porridge for more than two months, it almost single-handedly lives the vast majority of beggars and homeless people in the city, which can be called weird.
"This good hall, I'm afraid it's really not that simple."
Chai Tiefeng also frowned:
"My subordinates visited and investigated, and also heard about several cases of beggars and homeless people, but not all of them are Shantang helpers, but the only thing in common is that they have all received Deshantang's porridge, I don't know if there is a connection between them."
"There's a problem, there's a big problem!
”
The more Chang Qing thought about it, the more wrong it became:
"Let's go, let's report to Lord Chen!"
"Report what?"
Chai Tiefeng stopped him and sighed:
"We've investigated so much, all of them are chasing after the wind, there is no actual evidence at all, and it can't prove anything at all, how can we be satisfied with Lord Chen just running to report?"
"That's what I said......"
Chang Qing pondered for a long time, and then said:
"It's better to ...... Let's go to Nashan Hall at night to investigate and see if there is anything boring? If they do it again, they won't be able to find any clues. ”
Chai Tiefeng groaned and nodded:
"That makes sense, I'll go and explore that night!"
Both of them are masters of the marrow cultivation level, and there is naturally no fear in exploring the good hall.
After the decision was made, the two of them ate and drank to their heart's content, and after some preparation, they waited for darkness.
Wait until the third watch is over.
The night was dark, the night was deep, Chang Qing and Chai Tiefeng, who had changed their clothes, quietly came to the back door of the good hall, and then jumped into the good hall like a goose feather.
A huge backyard was dead silent, as if it was uninhabited, and the two of them took their breathing and heartbeat, and quietly investigated.
However, the two cautiously walked around the backyard, but found nothing, and found nothing unusual.
This expedition was just to test the water, and the two of them didn't plan to enter the house, but just as Chang Qing made a gesture and prepared to go to other places to investigate.
A cold and cruel voice suddenly sounded behind them:
"What are you doing when you two come to visit late at night?"
Who!
Suddenly startled, Chai Tiefeng and Changqing turned back like an electric shock.
Then they saw a tall figure standing with their hands in the position they had just infiltrated, and the eyes projected by them were full of coldness and banter.
"Let's go!"
Whenever this person appears, he will be stunned, and his person must be an extremely terrifying opponent, Chang Qing shouted urgently, and instantly moved at the same time as Chai Tiefeng, and rushed towards the wall on one side, and was about to evacuate this place.
However.
Almost at the same time as they moved, Xue Ruhai sneered, raised his sleeves in an instant, and two ghostly lights burst out like lightning.
Snort twice!
In an instant, he was shot into the vest by the ghostly light, and then fell to the ground like a wild goose shot by a strong bow.
"You, dare to ......!"
When they fell to the ground, the two of them were already full of blue and white faces, their muscles were stiff, and they tried their best to shout, but they could only make muffled sounds.
At this time, in the main house in the backyard, Bai Long pushed the door and walked out slowly, with an indifferent face: "Xue Protector, are there only these two?" ”
"It's just the two of them."
Xue Ruhai stepped forward with a smile and lifted Chang Qing and the others, who were stiff and unable to move:
"I wanted to go to you, but this time I took the initiative to send it to the door, but it saved me a lot of effort!"
This chain of events did not alarm the rest of the people in the front yard at all.
While speaking, Xue Ruhai had already carried the two of them, opened the secret passage in the backyard, and walked into the underground secret room.
Then he threw the two of them to the ground, and he looked at them condescendingly:
"You two, are you from the Criminal Arrest Division, or the Supervision Division, or the Evil Punishment Division?"
In the confined space, Chang Qing and Chai Tiefeng, who had not yet succeeded, turned pale, and tried their best to control their muscles before they said in a vague voice:
"I, we are the commissioners of the Inspectorate. Who are you two ......! ”
"Do you know what a crime it is to assault an official!?"
Xue Ruhai's face showed a disdainful smile: "Two dying eagle dogs, dare to threaten me?" ”
On the side, Bai Long said suddenly:
"You two, what are your identities in the Supervision Division, and who asked you to come to Chade Shantang?"
Knowing that their lives had reached the most dangerous juncture, Chang Qing and Chai Tiefeng gritted their teeth and said sharply:
"We are the superior officials of the Supervision Department, and we came to investigate this Deshan Hall, but we were ordered by the Deputy Commander of the Supervision Department, Master Chen Zheng!"
"We came here to investigate, and he also knows that if you dare to hurt us by a hair, he will learn about it one day, and he will definitely set foot on this good hall and the white jade building!
”
What?
Deputy Commander of the Supervision Department, Chen Zheng?
Hearing this name, both Bailong and Xue Ruhai couldn't help but stare at each other.
