The fire that originated from the Laojun Hall burned more and more fiercely, gradually engulfing the entire Taoist temple, and all the Taoist priests ran to the open space outside the Taoist temple in horror.

At this time, Meng Yannian, the county commander of Dengfeng County, led more than 100 officials to Songnanguan, Meng Yannian was about 30 years old, and he was born as a jinshi in the first year of Tianzhu, and he was quite shrewd and capable.

Zhao Qiuniang found him with Li Zhen's token, which made him in a dilemma, one side was the saint's immortal, and the other was the personal guard sent by the saint.

In this case, he can only deal with it with a high-minded approach, he has a good attitude towards Li Zhen's request, and he attaches great importance to it, and personally leads the county's officials to come to help, but when it comes to specific matters, he must consider one or two before starting.

However, Meng Yannian was deeply glad at this time, Songnanguan was engulfed in fire, and Wei Zhenren died in time, so that he had no worries, and his attitude towards cooperating with Li Zhen was more positive.

"Fight the fire!"

Meng Yannian hurriedly stamped his feet and ordered all his servants to carry water to put out the fire, and the square was in chaos, and the Taoist priests who carried the water and the officials who splashed the water shouted and cried.

Zhao Qiuniang took Meng Yannian to find Li Zhen, Meng Yannian said sadly: "We ran all the way, but we were still a step late, Li Guard, I'm sorry, we don't want to face this result!"

What he meant was that they had done their best, and that the outcome had nothing to do with them.

Li Zhen didn't have the heart to blame him for being late, at this time he was in a hurry to leave Songshan and return to Luoyang, but when he accidentally saw a pair of sad eyes behind the car window, his eager mood became much calmer, and some things could not leave immediately before they were dealt with.

Li Zhen stared at the fire that was burning more and more fiercely, shook his head and said to Meng Yannian: "The fire doesn't need to be saved, when it burns out, it will be extinguished by itself, and Meng County will order some people to take care of the aftermath!"

Li Zhen said a few more words and turned around and walked towards the carriage, Zhao Qiuniang hurriedly followed him, and said in a low voice: "This Taoist temple has a lot of wealth hidden in it, and the fire may not be able to burn it down, what do you think?"

Li Zhen pondered for a moment and asked rhetorically, "What does the eldest sister mean?"

"I want to stay and deal with this matter!" Zhao Qiuniang said very frankly.

"But there are only three people in the eldest sister"

"My apprentices have arrived. ”

Zhao Qiuniang pointed into the distance, Li Zhen followed her fingers, and saw dozens of steps away, more than 20 young men and women with swords standing under the eaves of an incense and candle shop, all with straight waists and indifferent expressions, Li Zhenxian didn't know any of them.

He glanced at Zhao Qiuniang with some surprise, but Li Zhen didn't say anything, just smiled and reminded her: "Eldest sister, beware of those black-clothed people who set fires." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, but after taking two steps, he stopped again, turned back to Zhao Qiuniang and said: "There is also a young man named Han Yi, his father Han Fu died in the hands of Wei Demon Dao, and the family property was also occupied, I promised him, please ask the eldest sister to find out his family property and return it to him." ”

Zhao Qiuniang nodded, "Is there anything else?"

Li Zhen thought about it, then said with a smile: "Not for the time being, the rest of the matter will be hard for Sister Qiuniang." ”

He glanced at Zhao Qiuniang meaningfully, turned around and came to Wang Qingyu's carriage, Wang Qingyu had been watching him in the car, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly opened the curtain.

"How is Brother Ling doing now?" Li Zhen asked with concern.

Wang Qingyu glanced back at his brother who was still sleeping, and sighed anxiously, "Just now an old Taoist priest came to see it, and he said that his brother has suffered a heavy blow to his sanity, and he will gradually recover after at least half a year of recuperation, Li Gongzi, I think." Return to Luoyang immediately. ”

"This. Decide for yourself, girl!"

Wang Qingyu bit his lip lightly and asked in a low voice, "Won't Gongzi Li go back with us?"

Li Zhen shook his head, "I still have to go to Shaolin Temple, I'm afraid I can't go with the girl." ”

Wang whispered a pair of beautiful eyes inadvertently drifted a trace of gloom, Li Zhen's answer made her feel a little lost, she really wanted to go with Li Zhen, but her brother's situation made her anxious, she could only hide the loss in her heart, and nodded silently.

Li Zhen smiled again: "Anyway, I'm also in Luoyang, I will come to visit Brother Ling in a few days, we should see you again soon!"

Wang whispered's beautiful eyes lit up, she took out a dagger and handed it to Li Zhen, "This is the personal thing my father gave me, I will give it to my son, I hope that my son will take care of himself!"

Li Zhen took the dagger, only to see that the dagger was simple in shape, with a swarthy sheath, without any decoration, and the appearance was not gorgeous, which was very different from the gold and gemstone dagger of Jiuzhi, but when Li Zhen gently pulled out a blade, he only felt cold and unusually sharp.

Li Zhen immediately liked this dagger in his heart, he inserted the dagger into his leather boots, and whispered to Wang: "Thank you Miss Wang for giving you the knife, and I hope Miss Wang will take care all the way!"

Wang smiled softly, ordered the guards to lead out, more than a dozen carriages slowly started, and drove towards the county under the protection of more than 20 guards, Li Zhen silently watched the convoy gradually move away.

At this time, the county commander Meng Yannian slowly stepped forward and said to Li Zhen: "Guard Li, I have a few words, I don't know if Guard Li is convenient?"

Li Zhen retracted his thoughts and smiled: "Please say the county order!"

Meng Yannian glanced at the Taoist temple, which was completely engulfed in flames, and said in a low voice: "About ten days ago, several convoys transported a large amount of supplies from the Taoist temple, and they all traveled at night and headed north through Dengfeng County. ”

Li Zhen thought of those empty warehouses, realized something in his heart, and asked, "I don't know what kind of items are being transported?"

"I don't know about this, but I can also tell SΓΉ Gongzi that the people who escorted the goods were all monks with knives, and as for which monastery they were transported, I don't know. ”

Li Zhen glanced at him, and there was a tacit hint in both of their eyes, they both knew who carried the materials of the Taoist Temple, but they couldn't say it

Five days later, Li Zhen returned to Luoyang, he did not waste time, nor did he bother to look at the polo team he had just formed, the secret that appeared in the palace of Laojun in Songnan Guan was always like a mountain in his heart, and he had to do his best to transfer this secret.

In Shangguan Wan'er's official room, Shangguan Wan'er calmly listened to Li Zhen's detailed report, she lowered her head and paced back and forth in the room, she didn't expect Wei Shifang to be killed, of course she knew who sent the group of people in black, but. Who leaked the news?

The situation in front of her made her feel very passive, how could she explain it to the Holy One?

After pondering for a while, she asked, "Why don't you catch a Taoist priest who knows the inside story and come back?" Although Wei Shifang was killed, his apprentice should know the secret of the soul pulling technique. Shangguan Wan'er's tone was a little disappointed, and at the same time a little complaining.

Of course, Li Zhen considered this plan, and the only person who knew Wei Shifang's secret was his eldest apprentice Bi Xuanzi, who later learned that Bi Xuanzi was good at ventriloquism and could vividly imitate all kinds of people to speak.

It's a pity that he also died, and when Li Zhen rushed to Yangdanlou, he saw his corpse and died with two female Taoist priests.

However, this does not mean that he can't solve this problem, Li Zhen took out the vermilion gourd from his arms and put it on the table, "This is the secret of Wei Shifang's soul pulling technique, and I tried it in Dengfeng County." ”

Shangguan Wan'er's eyes flashed with a bright color of surprise, as if a window was opened in a dark room, she grabbed the vermilion gourd and looked at it repeatedly, as if opening the gourd, a fairy light would flash, and gradually, her gaze became solemn again, "You mean...... Have you tried?" she looked at Li Zhen suspiciously, she didn't understand what Li Zhen meant.

Li Zhen took out another scroll and handed it to Shangguan Wan'er, "This is the use of medicine, the lowly position was found from the corpse of the great apprentice of Wei Shifang, I tried it in Dengfeng County, and the lowly position can also use the soul pulling technique." ”

Shangguan Wan'er hesitated, but still took the scroll, but her eyes were full of surprise, and she asked incredulously, "You will too?"

"Yes, I will too!" replied calmly.

β€œοΌŸβ€

"It is a kind of medicine, put it in the incense burner, soon you will smell the fragrance, the spirit will start to trance, you will feel the portrait in front of you move, the deceased relatives will appear next to you, and then you will hear the crane chirping, you will feel as if you are in a fairyland......"

Li Zhen carefully depicted the effect of the soul pulling technique, and finally smiled: "Actually, this qiΔ“ is just an illusion, all you see are a few huge portraits, the key is medicine, this is the secret of Wei Shifang's so-called immortal art." ”

Shangguan Wan'er was tempted, if Li Zhen was able to use the soul pulling technique successfully, it would prove that Wei Shifang's immortal technique was a deception, at least she could give an explanation to the saint.

"How sure are you?"

"There is about eighty percent certainty, and if there is another person who is good at ventriloquism, there can be ninety percent certainty of success. ”

"There is no problem for those who are good at ventriloquism, I will arrange it for you immediately, I plan to arrange for you to perform the soul pulling technique on the Holy Lord tomorrow afternoon, is it okay?" Shangguan Wan'er looked at Li Zhen with anticipation.

Li Zhen nodded silently, Shangguan Wan'er's mood suddenly improved, she took two steps and said, "And the so-called leather armor you saw in Laojuntang, I hope you can remain silent, do you understand what I mean?"

"Do you mean that now is not the time?"

As a subordinate, Li Zhen shouldn't have asked this sentence, but Shangguan Wan'er had great hopes for Li Zhen, she was bent on cultivating Li Zhen as her right-hand man, and she didn't show any disgust at Li Zhen's question, on the contrary, she was full of appreciation for his ability in her heart.

Shangguan Wan'er tried her best to explain in a feminine soft tone: "You and I both know that Wei Shifang is actually Xue Huaiyi's person, this person has been collecting money for Xue Huaiyi for several years, and the saint is also very clear about his relationship with Xue Huaiyi.

This investigation of Wei Shifang is actually beating Xue Huaiyi, who has been very dishonest lately and has arranged a very tricky matter for me, and I must win this game.

As for the private possession of armor and weapons, of course, it is also a big deal, but step by step, the Holy Lord does not have the idea of getting rid of this Xue Gaosheng now, so there is no need to say some superfluous words. ”

"Ignorance, understood!"

Shangguan Wan'er slowly walked in front of him, her bright red lips whispered in her ear, "Prepare well for tomorrow's immortal arts, you must succeed, I will give you an unexpected reward!"

Her voice slowly lowered, but the glow in her beautiful eyes became more and more intense
