"Oh, it turns out that Brother Xia, you came from Yuqing. However, you may have arrived early, it is still the beginning of March, and it will not be until early summer when the Yunzhou barbarians will deliver the goods by sea. You don't have much of a chance here now. This Jingnan is not like other places where gangs are fighting to the death, and Master Tian is in charge. We're here first, but there are some joints that need to be pre-spotted. ”

"Hahahaha, it doesn't matter. It's time to visit relatives, so let's have fun first. My two cousins have always been in this Jingnan Mountain, and it is good to take them out and walk around to see the world this time. Come on, come on, a few brothers don't have to be polite, drink and drink Xiaoer, why the fuck the pig's head meat we called hasn't come yet?"

In less than an hour, Xiao Xia had already talked to a few people in the lobby of the inn, and made friends, some of them were merchants from other places who came to stay, and one was a local who was hanging out and drinking. These merchants are running around, and they also like to find someone to inquire about the news of all parties, but the Wuxi local is a broken household, relying on some relatives with the shopkeeper to come to drink on credit, and the guy quarreled a few words and was heard by Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia immediately invited him to come over to drink wine and eat meat, and the man was naturally happy to eat white food, and immediately came to sit down and chat while eating and drinking.

As for Shifang and Mingyue, they could only sit aside and listen silently, one was bored eating fruit, and the other was stupidly and carefully holding a few chickens and ducks, they were really two village girls who had never seen the world, and they couldn't attract anyone's attention at all.

"That's right. This Brother Wang, is there anything worth saying about this Jingnan land and this Wuxi City area recently?" Without Xiao Xia opening his mouth, those merchants took the initiative to ask the broken household surnamed Wang for news.

"Of course there is. "The man surnamed Wang was eating wine and meat in his mouth. Feeling the attention of several other people falling on him, he was inevitably proud in his heart. "First of all, two days ago, Master Tian and his old man flew back to Longhu Mountain. Have you ever seen that scene with your own eyes? Flying is extinct, accompanied by wind and thunder, it is really a man among the gods! Only the people of Jingnan can have the blessing to see such a scene. ”

"I haven't seen this with my own eyes, but I've heard it before. Zhang Tianshi leads the Dao Gate of the world, and he should also have such a fairy style and heavenly cultivation. Several merchants also nodded their heads again and again. "But that's nothing, right? What does it matter to us that Zhang Tianshi uses his mana?"

The man surnamed Wang smiled: "This is what you few don't know." It is necessary to know that the Celestial Master travels. There have never been hundreds of people up and down the honor guard or something, and they have accepted the people's incense and kneeling along the way, which is the style of the first person in the Taoist sect. But on that day, the Heavenly Master suddenly exerted his magic power, leaving his entourage and hurrying alone. There must be something urgent. ”

"What's the urgency?"

"How can I know this? Probably what's going on on Longhu Mountain? Although my nephew is also a disciple in Longhu Mountain, I haven't heard anything from him." I thought about it. Looking left and right, God said mysteriously. "But according to my guess, maybe it's because there is a big monster here, so Zhang Tianshi is in a hurry to come back."

"Youkai?" When the merchants heard this, they all laughed together with Xiao Xia. "This is the land of Jingnan, under the Dragon and Tiger Mountain. Where can there be any monsters that can alarm the Heavenly Master, Brother Wang, aren't you drunk?"

Whether it is animals or plants and trees, as long as they absorb the breath of heaven and earth over the years, and bathe in the spiritual light of the sun, moon and stars, they can gradually open up their wisdom. The ability is good.,From ordinary animals and plants to monster elves.。 Most yokai are quite hostile to people. In addition, there are also yin things such as ghosts and evil ghosts that may be generated from the dead at any time, so in the whole world, even the three states of the Central Plains, which are the most prosperous and prosperous, cannot be said to be completely free of demons and monsters. This is also the reason why there must be Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in all county towns, and the heroes of the rivers and lakes who practice martial arts and beat the body will not be unable to deal with those monsters who have become essences, but if they have not cultivated to the innate realm, it is very difficult to detect the changes in the essence of those animals, and it is also powerful and difficult to deal with those tangible and qualitative ghosts. Whether it is to detect or deal with those demons and monsters, after all, it is still the magic of the Dao Sect or the magic power of the Buddha Sect that is the most effective.

And the most fundamental reason why the Heavenly Master Sect can have such a status in the land of Jingnan is that Jingnan can rely on Longhu Mountain to have today's prosperity. After Zhang Daoling established his teaching, he not only helped to set up a city and build a wall, get rid of miasma, build a canal to dredge the river, but most importantly, he expelled and eliminated the countless demons that originally haunted here, which made the land of Jingnan prosperous and stable today. And after the Heavenly Master Sect flourished since then, there were countless Taoist priests in the land of Jingnan, and once any monsters were generated, they were eliminated by Jue. More than 20 years ago, the big demon who transferred from Yunzhou has only seen a special case for hundreds of years, and it has also turned the world upside down, but now this person said that there is a big monster in Jingnan, and everyone else will naturally laugh.

The merchants were laughing, Xiao Xia was also laughing, only Shifang, who was sitting behind Xiao Xia holding a chicken and duck, had his eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth to say something, but he swallowed it back after a while, fortunately, no one noticed him from beginning to end, and he looked stupid, even if he saw it, he didn't care.

The broken household surnamed Wang was flushed with embarrassment, looked left and right, fortunately, no one paid attention to their table, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "A few people don't laugh, and listen to me, and listen to me Actually, this is just a little speculation on my part, but this is by no means a random guess, I have some evidence." And it's a bit weird to say. ”

Xiao Xia also waved his hand at this time and said to several merchants: "Don't make fun of a few brothers, and listen to what Brother Wang has to say." ”

The broken family surnamed Wang thought for a while and said, "Actually, this matter started a month ago when a friend I knew suddenly disappeared. The night before, we agreed to go to the county together to run some errands, but the next day I went to look for him and couldn't find anyone. He lived alone. The family looks fine, even there is still half a bowl of rice on the table that has not been eaten, and the neighbors around him also said that he has not come out again since he went back that night. If only that's it. But in the course of a month, I heard about two strange things that were not necessarily necessary, all of which were the inexplicable disappearance of people who lived alone. This kind of strange thing has never happened in my Wuxi City, plus Zhang Tianshi and his old man hurried back in a hurry, these few things add up, can't it be that there is something monster?"

"Is there really such a thing?" several merchants looked at each other for a moment, their faces a little ugly. "Is there really someone in Wuxi City who has disappeared inexplicably?"

"Of course it's true. The dilapidated man surnamed Wang looked carefully left and right, and seemed to regret not daring to say so. "But at this time, you must not make a noise. If it is heard by the Taoist leaders of Longhu Mountain, I can't afford to find out if I find out that I spread rumors and have monsters. ”

But the thoughts of the several merchants did not fall on the youkai, they just looked at each other. With an unkind face, he said: "It can't be that some friend in the underworld is trying to kill people for money and robbing people to ask for ransom, right? ”

"Naturally, it was reported. But what's the use of those officials catching quickly, it's just a matter of checking the thieves to maintain the scene on weekdays, and you can't find anything famous when you encounter such strange things. There are also missing people, and they have not lost any money in their homes. Especially my friend, who is not at home at all. How could anyone rob him?"

"Maybe it's the remnants of the Demon Cult. ”

Xiao Xia, who had been just listening, suddenly spoke in a deep voice. This sentence immediately attracted the attention of several merchants, and two of them nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's right, if things are really so weird, it may indeed be the work of the Demon Sect demons." Those demons are secretive, cruel and easy to kill, and I heard that they like to use people's essence and soul to sacrifice and refine spells and evil skills, so Zhang Tianshi hurried back and said that he might also be aware of it. ”

The broken household surnamed Wang was also stunned when he heard this, and immediately nodded: "Yes." Speaking of which, it could also be those demon cult demons. ”

Speaking of the Demon Sect, the faces of these merchants were even more ugly. In fact, ordinary people and ordinary people don't really know what the Demon Sect is. I only know that it is the culprit of the collapse of the previous dynasty, a group of demons who practice with human flesh and soul, and all those who act secretly and harm people will return to the Demon Sect. And for the business travelers who walk the rivers and lakes, compared to the bandits and robbers seeking wealth, the monsters are just asking for a full stomach, but they are still acceptable and understandable, but they are not as terrifying as these unpredictable madmen.

After a few more drinks, the frightened businessmen hurriedly got up and left, seemingly to discuss a countermeasure or ask a local partner for details. Xiao Xia continued to chat with the broken family surnamed Wang, ignoring Shifang's cough behind him, until he was half-drunk, Xiao Xia asked as if he was casually speaking: "By the way, can Brother Wang tell me more about the details of those who disappeared inexplicably?"

###

On Longhu Mountain, a golden light pierced the sea of clouds in the sky and flew straight and landed in front of the Taiqing Palace.

Compared with the sound of wind and thunder and the grand atmosphere of Zhang Tianshi's flight in the sky, this golden light is undoubtedly much more low-key. And there was no one on the square to greet them, and a few Taoist priests just stood in place after looking up and seeing them.

The golden light dissipated, revealing Zhang Yuhong, a real demon with a tired face. It was thousands of miles away from the Divine Wood Forest in the depths of Yunzhou to Longhu Mountain, and he was able to rush back in two days, and he had almost cultivated his mana to the extreme. And after he stood still, he didn't even take a breath, so he walked quickly towards the Heavenly Master's Mansion next to the main hall, and several Taoist priests along the way bowed to him, and he just nodded.

When the Dao Tong at the gate of the Heavenly Master's Mansion saw him, he had already rushed in to report it, and Zhang Yuhong could only wait for the word to be passed on in place. Even if he is a true demon with the name of the Emperor, there must be rules at the gate of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Dao Tong to run out, and he followed Dao Tong in.

In the hall, Zhang Tianshi sat there with a dignified demeanor and a magnificent bearing, waiting, and the two attendant Taoist children stood quietly behind him with a whisk in their hands, and there were several old Taoists around. As soon as he saw Zhang Yuhong come in, Zhang Tianshi nodded and smiled: "Yuhong is finally back, so I can rest assured." ”

"Yu Hong has seen the Celestial Master. Zhang Yuhong stepped forward and bowed upright. "The trip to Yunzhou was fruitless, and those Daoists of the Divine Wood Forest were not interested in the Heavenly Master's mention at all. Yuhong was ineffective, and asked the heavenly master to fall. ”

Zhang Tianshi sighed slightly, shook his head and said, "Those Daoists in the Shenmu Forest can't eat the ancients, but it's none of your business. It's a pity that this heavenly master has a good intention. This journey requires you to travel thousands of miles to Yunzhou, but it is hard. Now I have something to call you back, just because you are the most powerful pillar of my Dragon and Tiger Mountain. ”

"The Heavenly Master praised it. These are all things that are within the scope of the Imperial Macro. What is the specific matter of the escape of the earth spirit master mentioned on Fu He, please also ask the heavenly master to show it. ”

Zhang Tianshi waved his hand slightly: "This Heavenly Master has actually just returned from Wuyin Mountain, so it's up to Yuan Tong to talk about this matter." ”

The Yuan Channel person behind Zhang Tianshi stepped forward and said, "The Earth Spirit Master escaped before the twenty-fifth day, and the specific situation is like this. ”

A flash of anger flashed on Zhang Yuhong's face: "The Earth Spirit Master is related to the reputation of my Heavenly Master Sect and the face of the ancestor, who is derelict in his duties?"

"It's Senior Brother Liu Hongde. Yuan channel people said.

Zhang Yuhong was shocked when he heard this, and his face was full of disbelief: "How can it be Senior Brother Liu Hongde?" Senior Brother Liu Hongde went to the Shenmu Forest in Yunzhou with me more than a month ago, and now he is still on the way back, how can this spiritual master have anything to do with him?"

Yuan Channel replied without any expression on his face: "After the Earth Spirit Master escaped, we investigated all the situations carefully, and the biggest reason for this is because there was a business trip when repairing the Earth Spirit Hall a year ago, and many of the talismans used were incomplete and shoddy, so the guide zhì rune array was damaged, and the Earth Spirit Master had a chance to take advantage of the fact that it was Senior Brother Liu Hongde who was responsible for directing the repair of the Earth Spirit Hall at that time." ”

After being silent for a long time, Zhang Yuhong opened his mouth and said: "Senior Brother Liu has always been steady in his work, and the Heavenly Master is also clear, otherwise he would not have been entrusted with the important task by the Heavenly Master and went to the Divine Wood Forest with me." The Earth Spirit Master's Guardian Talisman Array was such an important matter, how could he be negligent enough to use the Waste Talisman to set up the array?"

"It's not necessarily negligent, it's also intentional. After all, the Earth Spirit Master has been divided into An'an for hundreds of years, and those spirit runes are worth a lot of money" The face of the Yuan Channel person was still expressionless, and he recited as if he was endorsing. "At that time, the account book and the confession of the Taoist priest who set up the talisman array had been verified, but it was the case. ”

"Senior Brother Liu would never do such a thing. Zhang Yuhong's face already had a slight anger on his face, and he hugged his fist at Zhang Tianshi. "Please also ask the Heavenly Master to investigate this matter. ”

Zhang Tianshi nodded and sighed: "I also know that Senior Brother Hongde has always acted steadily, and I don't want these things to happen because of him." Seeing that Zhang Yuhong seemed to be about to speak, Zhang Tianshi waved his hand. "Whether he is wrong or not, he will not say for the time being, the top priority now is to find the Earth Spirit Master. The Earth Spirit Master's mana is profound and cunning, and letting him go out for a day will hurt his life for one more day. And the Pure Land Zen Monastery also didn't know where to know the traces of the Earth Spirit Master, and actually sent the monks from the ten directions to my Jingnan Land, if he subdued the Earth Spirit Master, no matter whether he spread the secrets or not, my Longhu Mountain will not be able to raise his head in front of the Pure Land Zen Monastery from now on. However, it is not appropriate for ordinary disciples in the sect to know about this matter, so you must act alone and do your best to prosecute this matter. Whether the thousand-year-old prestige of the Heavenly Master Sect can not fall depends on Yu Hong. ”

"This" Zhang Yuhong took a deep breath, and finally bowed down. "Comprehend the Heavenly Master's decree. (To be continued......)
