Volume 1: Zhaoshan River Chapter 66 Baiyun Temple
After a short silence, Ji Yuandang even thought of Liu Hongsheng.
This county magistrate catches the head, within a radius of hundreds of miles from Qianyu City, but he has a very good reputation, and if it is about martial arts, he can be ranked among the top five.
It is said that he was originally a ranger, relying on the force of the late stage of the Skin and Flesh Realm, but he did a lot of uneven things.
But after more than ten years of breaking through the rivers and lakes, you have found that some people and some things, you can manage once but you can't manage two or three times, and often within a few days, the offender will not be able to remember the lesson.
So later, Liu Hongsheng became a fast catcher, and used the laws of the court to make the offenders suffer enough, and even if he was released from prison, he almost didn't dare to go back to his old business.
After becoming the chief catcher, his reputation even spread to other counties, mentioning Liu Hongsheng in Qianyu City, even ordinary people would call him a good man.
Not to mention that over the years, with his bold temperament and righteousness, Liu Hongsheng has accumulated a lot of contacts in black and white within a radius of hundreds of miles.
And now, with the situation in Qianyu City, if the situation really gets out of control in the end, only this chief catcher can gather enough strength to wrestle with the person who laid out the scene behind the scenes.
Otherwise, once there is chaos in the city, all forces will definitely fight for each other, and no one will be able to subdue anyone, so the scattered sand will be broken one by one.
"The chief catcher should have found the clue and was not called to the county office."
A young catcher spoke quickly, he had heard his master Sun Youfang talk to himself, saying that Liu Hongsheng was too vigilant, and he could find out the clues just by sending people to give orders.
However, although Liu Hongsheng has found out, no one knows where he is now, and even a few people who are familiar with him dare not assert anything.
Even if it is an ordinary catch, he knows that at this time, he must not go to the place he used to visit, let alone Liu Hongsheng, the head catcher of the county government.
Unless he is willing, it is impossible to find the slightest figure of the other party in the entire county.
"The City God's Temple and the county government have fallen, and there are either gods who have fallen into the devil's path, or people who have been controlled by their minds."
Zhao Yuansong's face was solemn.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the direction of the gate, and Shen Lang, a sloppy scholar, could be seen walking into the Taoist temple with a young monk with a depressed expression.
"The Baiyun Temple is gone, and the entire temple has been reduced to a place of demons, and all the Buddhist monks who practice in it have been seated."
Shen Lang sat beside Ji Yuan, snatched the teapot in his hand and poured several sips.
He told everyone that the people in the Baiyun Temple's cultivation were not killed, but fell into self-doubt, and finally collapsed and sat down on their own.
After quickly talking about what he knew, he began to rummage through Ji Yuan's sleeve robe, as if looking for something.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan shook his long sleeves angrily, and immediately several bottles of pills fell out of it.
Shen Langle took the pill, threw a few porcelain bottles to Huixin, who lowered his head, and then sat cross-legged on the spot to breathe.
"Mourning ......"
Seeing that Huixin bowed his head and was silent, holding the porcelain bottles tightly, Ji Yuan couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Those Buddhist monks in Baiyun Temple are not the kind of dead brains who only know how to bury their heads in scriptures behind closed doors.
On the contrary, they will often leave the temple, walk in the streets and alleys, and even in the mountains and towns outside the city, and collect medicine for people free of charge, which is why in the Dayu Dynasty that advocates Taoism, Baiyun Temple can still be one of the reasons why incense is still prosperous.
Among them, the master of Huixin is the most respected by the people, and the other party has practiced for decades, and he has also worked hard for the people of Qianyu City for decades.
Seeing a doctor and collecting medicine, building roads and bridges, opening porridge shops, and so on.
At this time, whether it was the Zhao family's nurses or several arresters from the county government, they all spoke out to comfort them, hoping that Huixin would not be too sad.
However, Huixin shook his head suddenly, and when he raised his head, there was no sadness in his eyes, only endless doubts and incomprehension, and anger like substance.
"That heart-splitting demon also harmed the monks of Baiyun Temple and turned the century-old temple into a demonic ......"
He looked at Ji Yuan, and then said in a trembling voice: "It's my master!" ”
"What?!"
"Impossible!"
"How can it be so ......?"
Everyone immediately got up and looked at Huixin with shocked faces, no one wanted or dared to believe the news.
That is a generation of highly respected monks, who have done many good deeds for the people within hundreds of miles in all directions, and saved many people who don't know how many.
How can it be...... Will he be a demon who does all kinds of evil?
Ji Yuan glanced at Shen Lang silently, knowing that at this moment, he understood what the other party's expression meant before, and it was no wonder that after saying a few words casually, he immediately took the pill and began to meditate.
It turns out that there are some things that I don't want to say by myself, and I don't want to face the expressions of everyone after they know the truth.
In a trance, Ji Yuan's mind couldn't help but have some pictures, in which in addition to the three teenagers and children, there was also an old monk with a kind face and always a loving smile.
"What the hell is going on, tell me word for word!"
Ji Yuan raised his head and looked at Huixin with a determined look.
Hearing this, the other party sat on the ground dejectedly, ignoring the gray and white monk's robe stained by the mud and sand.
He lowered his head, rubbed the few porcelain vases in his hands, and slowly brought the events of these days to him, with a deep exhaustion in his weak tone.
Since he returned to the temple two days ago, he has been alone in the house, neither practicing nor reading Buddhist scriptures, not even doing a day's homework.
It wasn't until late at night that Huixin understood what Ji Yuan said, and after thinking about it, he couldn't sleep anymore, and his mood was a little disturbed, so he went out and walked around the temple at will.
However, when he reached the main hall, he heard the sound of his master talking to someone, and before he could hear the content of the conversation, he was discovered by two people in the hall.
Huixin immediately stood by the window and saluted, but before he could open his mouth to confess, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and it was his master.
However, unlike the usual kind old monks, at this time, his master had a hideous face, and his eyes were full of demonic energy, just one glance made Huixin almost collapse.
And since that night, Huixin has been imprisoned in his master's room, and has been subjected to several prohibitions, and he has been unable to speak or move his hands for two days and two nights.
But in addition to being unable to move and speak, his perception of the outside world was still there, so the whole process of his teacher destroying the minds of the rest of the monks was completely heard by him.
"No sea...... No sea ...... There is no Buddha in the heart......"
Huixin smiled miserably, her face full of tears.
In the side courtyard of Xuantian Temple, a group of people were silent, not only not knowing how to speak, but also being shocked by this time.
Who would have thought that Master Wuhai, who has worked hard for the people for decades and enjoys the reputation of a generation of eminent monks, would be the heart-splitting demon who once devoured his heart in front of everyone.
Now it has killed several Buddhist monks, turning a Baiyun Temple with a flourishing incense into a place of evil spirits.
"Not good!"
One of the catchers suddenly exclaimed: "In another hour and a half, pilgrims will go to the temple to offer incense, and innocent people will surely die at that time!" ”
At this time, Baiyun Temple has turned into a demonic place, and it is impossible for any living creature who enters it to come out alive!
Although the demon who is now entrenched in it was originally the admired Master of the Infinite Sea, once he hides in the path of the demon, he will no longer be his original self, and all the good thoughts in his heart will disappear, leaving only endless evil thoughts.
"It's okay, the head of the Three Swords Society, a donor surnamed Xu, has led people to block all the surroundings of Baiyun Temple, and the roads and alleys can't get close to the temple."
Huixin clasped his hands together and recited a Buddha name: "Amitabha, Master Xu and Master Zheng asked the little monk to bring a sentence, once it is determined that the demons in the Baiyun Temple will not cause trouble for the time being, they will rush to Xuantian Temple." ”
Hearing this, Ji Yuan bowed slightly, and in this way, there would be no news from Li Junxian's side for the time being.
According to the opponent's foot strength, it is estimated that he should have arrived at the Falling Soul Slope at this time, but he doesn't know if he can successfully break through the formation and see Song He in the deep house.
If Song He could come to help, and now Zhao Yuansong, they would have two Second Realm cultivators at this convenience, and the pressure would be greatly reduced immediately.
Not to mention that now Zheng Wanrong's side has successfully invited Xu Liuqing to make a move, and with the help of the top five forces within a radius of hundreds of miles, the Three Blades Society, his heart has also added a lot of confidence.
At least now, they are no longer weak, otherwise, relying on this person alone, even if there are one or two more Second Realm monks or martial artists, it will be difficult to play a big role.
"What are you doing here?"
A door opened, and several middle-aged Taoist priests looked drowsy, but they quickly turned into displeasure and slight anger.
It seems that after seeing the Taoist temple and suddenly more than a dozen people, even if I was a little unhappy in my heart, I subconsciously thought that my little junior brother was messing around.
It's just that when they saw a few burly martial artists, as well as seven or eight fast catchers, the slight anger on their faces suddenly disappeared, and their momentum weakened by half.
A few people stood at the door of the room, a little at a loss for a while, neither advancing nor retreating, and standing in place seemed somewhat funny.
"Senior brother, why don't you go back to the house and get dressed first?"
Ji Yuan kindly reminded and quietly pointed to a woman in the corner.
Seeing this scene, Chen Shirong immediately turned around and pushed a few juniors, then returned to the house and closed the door heavily.
After retracting his gaze, he looked at Zhao Yuansong with a slight frown: "Let's change places, we can go to the county government office in the errands between the shops." ”
The so-called errands are some places where the catch or the servants rest, and if there are no major and urgent errands, they are often unused for a year or two.
Although the environment may be worse, it is better to be quiet, no one will disturb you, and it has a certain amount of safety.
After all, in this kind of place, except for them, the lowest level of catchers and officials, the officials and lords who sit firmly in the high hall are basically not remembered.
However, Zhao Yuansong only shook his head lightly at this suggestion, perhaps in his opinion, only Xuantian Temple was the safest in the county at this time.
There may not be much power to protect this place, but it is better to have the protection of the Xuantian Guan Patriarch's relics, and the disciples of the Guanzhong Inheritance, as well as the disciples of the Nine Xuanmen of the same origin, can have the protection of luck in the underworld.
It's just that he can't say these words directly, and there are some things that can't be revealed to outsiders.
"You heal your wounds first, and then a battle may break out at any time."
After thinking about it, he skipped the topic and said to Ji Yuan instead: "I will take people to guard the surroundings and try my best to ensure the safety of the Taoist temple." ”
Hearing this, Ji Yuan nodded solemnly, didn't get up and went back to the house, and directly sat cross-legged in the small courtyard with the others, and began to do his best to run the exercises and refine the pills in his body.
At least half of the healing pills they had taken before had accumulated in their bodies, and they had not been thoroughly refined.
