Volume 1: Zhao Shanhe Chapter 53 The Zhao Family Changes
Ji Yuan's face changed suddenly, and he suddenly got up from the futon, and was about to rush to Baiyun Temple immediately.
It's just that as soon as the soles of his feet were raised, he couldn't help but stop in the air, and finally stepped heavily on the spot.
Obviously, he also reacted, even if he rushed to Baiyun Temple at this time, he still couldn't change what had happened, but would put himself in danger.
Even when the time comes, I am afraid that he is not the only one who will face the dangerous situation, but also Shen Lang who is present, as well as Zhao Yuansong and his junior brothers and sisters.
"What's wrong with Baiyun Temple?"
Shen Lang hurriedly got up, with a touch of anxiety between his eyebrows.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan sighed: "It was my negligence, I thought that Huixin listened to my words, and I have been closed in the temple for the past few days, and I can cultivate with peace of mind." ”
"But just now when I thought about Huixin, my state of mind was like a storm, and I suddenly reacted, if he could really listen to my words, he would not be the Huixin I know."
When Zhao Yuansong and the others were still in the clouds and couldn't understand the meaning of his words, Shen Lang on the side immediately showed a sudden expression.
The three of them have known each other for six or seven years, and they know each other well, and they understand the meaning of Ji Yuan's words as soon as they hear it.
Although I don't understand what he said to Huixin, with Shen Lang's understanding of that 'dead eye', if the other party heard about what had happened in the county town on this day, it would definitely be impossible for him not to move at all.
At the very least, he will run to Xuantian Temple, or go to the slums, and find one of him and Ji Yuan.
And now that there is no news of Huixin, coupled with the current situation in the city, it is not difficult to guess that there should be a change in Baiyun Temple.
"What should we do now, do we go directly to Baiyun Temple?"
Xu Qiqi's eyes lit up, and he looked eager to try.
As soon as her words fell, a group of people subconsciously looked at Shen Lang, obviously the other party's previous inferences had won everyone's trust.
It's just that at this time, this embarrassed scholar was looking at the little Taoist priest who was meditating, waiting for the other party's opening.
Seeing this, several people were a little surprised, and they didn't have to follow Shen Lang's gaze and fell on Ji Yuan's body together.
"Xuantianguan may have been targeted."
After pondering for a long time, he frowned and said: "Maybe it was the beginning, or maybe it was after Zhao Daoyou came, in short, if I was the one who planned behind the scenes, I would definitely send someone here to keep an eye on me." ”
After all, whether it is a coincidence or not, it is because of these people that the obscene shrine that has been planned for a hundred years was discovered, and finally it was smashed by the county government.
Even if he forbears and does not retaliate for the time being, as a planner, he will inevitably send people to keep an eye on this place, lest these people sabotage their plans again.
"I'm afraid it's hard to make a difference just a few of us, and we have to find some help."
Ji Yuan raised his head and said with a solemn expression: "Fellow Daoist, I need your help!" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Yuansong's face was straight, and he nodded without hesitation, and bluntly said that if there is a need, just give it an order.
He bowed slightly, but he was really not polite, and said directly: "Please ask Zhao Daoyou to go to the City God Temple, you don't have to go deep into it, but you must find out the situation." ”
"In addition, I also asked Zheng Daoyou to go to the Three Knife Society, visit Xu Liuqing, the head of the Three Societies, with my name, to explain the crisis situation in the city at the moment, and ask him to help."
"Trouble Li Daoyou, take my letter out of the city, go to a place called Falling Soul Slope, and find a ghost cultivator named Song He."
Li Junxian and Zheng Wanrong clasped their fists at the same time and had no objection to this.
His gaze panned, past the young man and girl with a look of eagerness to try, and a little expectation in his eyes, he looked at Shen Lang with a solemn face: "I'm going to Zhao's house, and Baiyun Temple can only rely on you." ”
Shen Lang smiled slightly, letting him rest assured that he would go to the Zhao family, but if he still had a breath, he would save him even if he was desperate.
As soon as these words came out, Ji Yuan immediately aroused a roll of his eyes, and he snorted three times before he gave up.
"What about us?"
Jiang He took a step forward and looked very seriously.
Beside him, although Xu Qiqi didn't say anything, the expectation in his eyes became more and more intense.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan felt a big head, and he really didn't know how to arrange it, although he didn't know the true identities of the two of them thoroughly, but through the attitudes of the rest of the people, he could naturally guess one or two.
If there is no accident, Xu Qiqi and Jiang He must be the descendants of the Nine Xuanmen, and it is even likely that they are a certain first-line elder, or a personal disciple of Zhangfeng.
With such a noble status, if something happens to them, even if they can survive this crisis in the city safely, the accountability of the Nine Xuanmen in the future can also kill people.
"Although Daoist friends are assigned, if my Nine Xuanmen disciples kill demons and eliminate demons, even if they fall, they will have no complaints."
Zhao Yuansong said in a deep voice, and said bluntly, if the two of them died because of slaying demons and demons, the elders in the door would only say that they had died well, even if they had any anger, they would only vent it on the perpetrator, and would never implicate others.
In this way, Ji Yuan can rest assured that the two of them can be arranged.
"Since this is the case, you will go to the Zhao family with me."
He looked at Xu Qiqi, the other party was naturally close to Lei Fa, and he had the greatest deterrent to evil ghosts.
And although Zhao Yuansong made it clear that if there was any damage between the two of them in the process of killing the demons, Jiuxuanmen would not be angry with others.
But this kind of thing is just a good thing to listen to, you can only believe at most half, if you really believe it all, everything is easy to say if nothing happens, and if something really happens, you will inevitably be held accountable by Jiuxuanmen.
Only by his side can Ji Yuan reduce some of his concerns, after all, if it is about hole cards, I am afraid that he is the safest among all people.
"Now that everything is arranged, let's go now?"
After Ji Yuan wrote a letter and solemnly handed it over to Li Junxian, Zhao Yuansong asked.
Hearing this, Shen Lang immediately shook his head: "I'm afraid that there are people watching outside the Taoist temple, so we still need to be cautious in our actions." ”
He looked at the gate of the Taoist temple, and his eyes finally fell on the mouth of the alley in the distance, as if he was thinking about something, and there was often a flash of light in his eyes.
The two most critical points of this trip are the Zhao family where Ji Yuan went and the City God Temple where Zhao Yuansong went.
If the person behind the scenes discovers their intentions, the other party is likely to try to see the dagger, or directly kill people, or start the layout in advance.
And the second, such as the Three Swords Society and the Fallen Soul Slope for help, do not have to worry about being discovered, at most they will arouse the suspicion of the people behind the scenes.
So after a while, Li Junxian and Zheng Wanrong left the Taoist temple in a hurry with a look on their faces, and headed towards the Three Swords Society and the city gate respectively.
Under Shen Lang's advice, they tried their best to pretend to be frightened, and they were uneasy to observe their surroundings all the way, as far away as possible from places where it was easy to hide.
It's just that after the figures of the two of them gradually disappeared at the end of the street, nothing happened outside the Taoist temple, and no shadows watching in the dark appeared.
After waiting for another half a moment, Shen Lang cautiously came to the mouth of the alley, looked around vigilantly, and then rushed in the direction of Baiyun Temple after half a sound.
However, until Shen Lang left for a long time, there was still no movement outside the Taoist temple, as if they had thought too much about it, and no one had ever been watching here.
However, it didn't matter whether anyone was watching or not, because the rest of the people had already climbed over the wall behind the Taoist temple and quietly left this area.
"Why don't we all leave the back wall in the first place?"
On the way to Zhao's house, Xu Qiqi couldn't help the doubts in his heart, so he asked in a low voice.
Ji Yuan, who was walking in front, smiled, and explained in the same low voice: "If there are really people who are watching, it is naturally impossible to be stupid, if there is no movement in the Taoist temple for a long time, do you think they will find a way to watch it?" ”
In that case, it would be better to create a little movement that would distract them, distracting the stalkers from guessing what the few people who had left earlier were going to do.
If you can't even say it, you can let the other party divide the staff and report the abnormalities you see to the people behind the scenes, delaying the time when they intend to be discovered.
"When you arrive at Zhao's house later, you must obey orders."
Ji Yuan didn't look back, his eyes kept patrolling the surroundings, and he whispered at this time: "I know that you are all the proud sons of the heavens of the Nine Xuanmen, and even the personal inheritance of a certain elder or even Zhangfeng, but at least at this moment, you must not act rashly." ”
Behind him, Xu Qiqi and Jiang He nodded solemnly, in fact, there was no need for him to say more, the two of them would do the same.
Although they are the proud sons of Jiuxuanmen, and they have followed their brothers and sisters all the way through several counties, they still have too little experience in the rivers and lakes.
Even Jiang He had to admit that compared with the little Taoist priest of the same age in front of him, he was very deficient in many aspects.
There were no twists and turns along the way, Ji Yuan led the two of them to the outside of the Zhao family's mansion smoothly, and it was only when they arrived here that they understood how serious the situation had become.
I saw that the entire Zhao family mansion was shrouded in an eerie atmosphere, even at night, I could still clearly see that there was a yin and evil aura hovering over the entire mansion.
This kind of aura cannot be seen by the naked eye of mortals, and only monks who have embarked on the path of cultivation and have pure essence in their bodies can get a glimpse of one or two.
"The Zhao family may have been poisoned, even if there are survivors, it is estimated that there will not be many of them."
Ji Yuan said in a deep voice.
At this time, the gate of the Zhao family was closed, and the two lanterns that should have burned all night now had no candlelight, and as for the stone lion used in front of the door to ward off evil spirits, they were also shrouded in a cloud of gray gas and lost their original role.
Not only that, but even the two portraits of the door gods posted on the gate, the little spirituality contained in them is gone, and the above should be a majestic god general, but it gives people an eerie and terrifying feeling when they look at it.
"What do we do now?"
Jiang He asked out loud.
Since leaving the Taoist temple, Xu Qiqi's words have become much less, and his attention has been focused on the perception of his surroundings.
On the contrary, it was the young Jiang He, who was originally taciturn, and suddenly became more talkative, mostly asking his peers around him about various things.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan groaned for a while, and then pointed to the small alley in the distance: "Let's go over the wall from there." ”
