Liu Xin's main task was actually to help Chen Xiao and them track down the traces of the White Lotus Sect.

Now that the task is basically completed, he doesn't have to worry about the follow-up.

And more importantly, he felt that the movement created by Daoist You Fang was a little unusual.

There was absolutely no need for him to collapse the building.

Although Chen Xiao found that his location was far from the collapsed building.

But if you want to confuse the public in this way, it is a bit redundant.

Since he was able to find his traces, either the black knife Lao Ba did not stop him for too long.

Either that, or there's a special way to find him.

Either of these two possibilities could not have been dealt with by collapsing a house.

Among the four missionaries of the White Lotus Sect, Daoist You Fang can be said to be the most cunning one.

He wouldn't do such pointless things.

Therefore, Liu Xin felt that the other party must be hiding something.

It is very likely that the treasure stolen from the palace was hidden there.

So Liu Xin came to the collapsed house.

It was originally a land temple, and there were storehouses nearby, and most of the families who used these storehouses had businesses.

This land temple is supposed to be a place of worship for these people who do business.

On the surface, the Land Temple should have had two load-bearing pillars broken and then collapsed from them.

Therefore, the direction in which it collapsed was not outward, but inward.

Liu Xin searched among the ruins for a moment, but did not find anything suspicious.

But when he came to the open space in front of the Land Temple, he found a suspicious place.

Directly in front of the gate of the Land Temple, there is an incense burner.

This incense burner did not suffer from the collapse of the Land Temple, and is still erected there.

But there are several white marks on the ground below the incense burner, extending from the direction of the temple gate of the land to its feet.

Although he couldn't see clearly in the night, Liu Xin could see it clearly.

These white marks undoubtedly indicate that the original location of this incense burner was not here, but where the ruins collapsed.

This incense burner was pushed here by someone.

Liu Xin took a closer look, and sure enough, he found a small depression in the direction of the incense burner facing the door of the land temple.

It should have been the Taoist priest of Youfang who used his dust whisk to push the incense burner, so that the incense burner moved horizontally from its original location to here.

Why would the other party do such a move?

Could it be that the treasure on his body is in this censer?

Liu Xin didn't say a word, and directly pushed down the incense ash in the incense burner and sprinkled it on the ground.

Liu Xin carefully searched for a moment in the incense ash, but found nothing.

Liu Xin didn't believe that Daoist You Fang would do so many such things.

And the traces of the transfer of the incense burner are too obvious.

Although in this night, especially when there is no moon tonight, it is not so easy to find this trace.

But if it's daylight, the marks are very noticeable.

Liu Xin thought for a moment and thought of a possibility.

Daoist You Fang made such obvious traces, could it be used to remind the people behind.

He can be tracked down by Liu Xin, and he must be able to think in his heart that he may not be able to escape the tracking.

Therefore, leave the stolen treasure here in advance.

As Chen Xiao said before, the two treasures they stole were not small objects.

If they carry it with them, it is not convenient for them to escape.

But if it's not a small thing, where will it hide?

Liu Xin looked around, and suddenly he looked in a direction along the mark on the ground of the incense burner.

After about a cup of tea, Chen Xiao, Lang Jun and Xin Chuanzhi returned to the collapsed land temple.

As soon as Chen Xiao landed, his eyes widened.

Because Liu Xin was playing with the heirloom jade seal in his hand at this time.

Of course, he didn't hold it directly in his hand, but took out a tattered yellow cloth out of nowhere.

It seems that it should be something found in this land temple.

"Liu Yanshi, what are you?"

Chen Xiao didn't know what to say.

The three of them joined forces to pursue, but they still let Daoist You Fang escape.

Lang Jun's long whip even hit the opponent's back, pumping the back of the Taoist priest of You Fang to blood.

But the other party was still bent on fleeing, ignoring the pursuers behind him.

In the end, he really let the other party run away.

Because they really couldn't catch up, they found that Liu Xin was no longer by their side at some point.

So he could only come back and try to get Liu Xin to continue to use the means of the imperial beast, and see if he could still lock on to the Taoist priest of Youfang.

What I didn't expect was that Liu Xin actually found the heirloom jade seal directly.

"Senior Chen, can you see if this is a lost treasure in the palace?"

Liu Xin smiled and handed the heirloom jade seal to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao took it cautiously.

This is a jade seal, which has been inherited for more than 400 years since the first Zhengyang emperor made this jade seal.

once fell into the hands of the Northern Barbarians, and finally Emperor Kangyang snatched it back from the Northern Barbarians.

There are a total of 37 fine lines and 12 coarse lines on it, which are all traces left by history.

And these are a total of 49 traces, and behind them are also countless killings.

This is the jade seal of the country, and those who make it scar pay the price.

Chen Xiao was counting these fine lines at this time.

In the end, he took a long breath, and there were a total of 49 traces, not many of them.

He carefully took out a bright yellow silk cloth from his bosom.

At first glance, it is a royal item in the palace.

Chen Xiao carefully wrapped the jade seal and retrieved the jade seal, his task had actually been completed for the most part.

After all, although that map is also His Majesty's favorite, it can be remade after all.

Although I don't know why the White Lotus Sect stole that map, its preciousness is not comparable to that of the heirloom jade seal.

Chen Xiao let out a sigh of relief, and when he found the jade seal, his heart fell.

"I'll take this back to the palace first.

Liu Yanshi, I want to trouble you to take Lao Lang and Lao Xin to continue to search for the traces of the White Lotus Sect.

This treasure is too precious, I must return to the palace first. ”

"Understood."

Liu Xin nodded.

Soon after Chen Xiao left, news came from the city wall in the north that there were rebels breaking out of the city at the city gate.

According to the description of the city defense soldiers, it should be a Taoist priest from Youfang.

Moreover, the other party was already injured, and when he broke out of the city, he directly carried a thousand bull crossbow arrows, and the injuries were even more serious, and it was impossible to come back.

And Liu Xin also interpreted the news from the watchtower that someone on the west side of the city wall also broke out.

So far, the rebels of the White Lotus Sect have killed and fled in this operation.

When everyone returned to Nanzhen Fusi, Dai De'an had already returned, and there were still traces of blood on his body.

"Liu Xin, you did a good job over there, if the jade seal can be recovered, your majesty's anger will be able to disappear by half."

Dai Dean praised Liu Xin, and as for Lang Jun and Xin Chuanzhi, the two of them said goodbye to Dai Dean and returned to the palace to resume their lives.

"My lord, how is the situation over there?"

Liu Xin opened his mouth and asked, he passed the news of his recovery of the jade seal back to the watchtower, but he didn't know the situation on Dai De'an's side.

"Kill some of the little minions, and the real big fish will run out.

However, the Black Lotus Hundred Ghosts were injured by me, and there was no evidence from the city defense army that he had left the imperial capital.

Therefore, it is uncertain whether he is still in the imperial capital.

It's all up to you to be able to get the jade seal back this time.

Chen Xiao has already sent a message to me, this time I will definitely remember you a great achievement. ”

"Thank you, sir."

Liu Xin was not hypocritical, and thanked Dai De'an directly.

The relationship between him and Dai De'an is no longer an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship.

The latter obviously felt Liu Xin's ability, coupled with the relationship between Qin Guogong, and now the two were more like cooperation.

Dai De'an knew that Liu Xin was not a thing in the pool, and sooner or later he would soar.

"That's right, sir. Tomorrow's Departure from the City......"

"I will report to the Admiral on your behalf, rest assured, if this happens, even if you don't ask for it tomorrow, many people will ask to leave the city.

After all, everyone knew that the 100,000 rebels outside the city were indispensable to the White Lotus Sect doing things in it.

Taking advantage of His Majesty's anger, those people in the military will definitely find an opportunity to ask for war.

At that time, our Jinyi Guard will also send someone out, and the old man will recommend you as the commander of this team. ”

"Okay, thank you, sir!"

"Okay, it's not too early, let's go back and rest early, I guess you'll have to be called up soon!"

Dai De'an smiled and asked Liu Xin to go home and rest first.

Liu Xin is not qualified to participate in the affairs of the early dynasty, and he can't sleep tonight, so he has to prepare for the affairs of the early dynasty.

Of course, he took back the jade seal, but Jin Yiwei still has to bear some pressure.

After all, the thief still escaped.

And on Liu Xin's way home, the red rabbit he sat down snorted and stopped at a crossroads.

"It seems that Liu Yanshi has discovered me!"

Liu Xin had already drawn out his Dao Breaking Sword and looked at a memorial arch in front of him.

A dark figure was squatting on the archway.

He just sat on it with his legs dangling.

Liu Xin heard from the other party's voice that the other party's age should not be very old.

Because the distance is a little far, Liu Xin can't see the other party's information through the attribute panel.

But without thinking about it, you know that the other party should be from the White Lotus Sect.

"Liu Yanshi, I have seen everything you did today!"

Liu Xin's heart sank, the other party used internal force to transmit sound, indicating that the other party was at least a cultivator of the medium-grade Dacheng realm.

"Liu Yanshi, you don't have to answer me, you just need to listen to me quietly.

Today, you found the jade seal in the ruined temple before me.

But I didn't expect you to be so bold.

But that's fine, it just helped us.

What we want is not actually the jade seal at all.

It's the big seal he stamped.

It is a big crime for you to cover the jade seal privately, as long as I reveal this matter, it will be enough to make you ruined and imprisoned.

But rest assured, I won't do that, and I'm going to invite you to work with me.

Today I am just here to pass on this matter to you and to show you my kindness.

I will come to you in the future when I need it.

Say goodbye today, I don't know when I will see you again, I'll miss you, Liu Yanshi! ”

As soon as the words fell, the man fell backwards and fell from the archway.

But in the dark night, Liu Xin could barely see that the other party flew away directly.

He knew that this should also be a top-notch body, and he couldn't catch up with the other party.

And what he fears the most is what the other party says.

In fact, in the broken earth temple today, he successfully found the jade seal hidden by the Taoist priest from a big tree in the direction pointed by that mark.

Out of curiosity, he stamped the jade seal over the blank space of the secret letter.

But I didn't expect the other party to steal this jade seal, and it was just to ask for his seal.

In today's Zhengyang Dynasty, this side of the jade seal is not used to stamp the holy decree.

The seal used to stamp the holy decree is the family seal of Emperor Wuyang, which followed Emperor Wuyang to fight, stained with countless blood, and has become blood-red, which is the seal that has always been used to stamp the holy decree.

The heirloom jade seal is more of a symbol, symbolizing that today's Zhengyang royal family is orthodox.

However, the White Lotus Sect wants the seal of the jade seal, so why not print one as soon as you get it.

Was it too hasty?

Or they didn't know that there was still a remnant of the seal under the jade seal.

Liu Xin didn't know about the ink clay at first, but when he got the jade seal, he found that there was a red and wet ink clay underneath.

Immediately thought of this, but the jade seal, the ink used must not be ordinary.

He had seen from some books that the best ink clay could last for a hundred or even a thousand years.

So he tried it, and sure enough, he had a very clear and complete seal.

He originally wanted to take this back as a souvenir.

I didn't expect everything I did to fall into the eyes of others.

I may have to discuss this matter with Senior Brother Cheng after I go back.

And that person has the cultivation of the middle grade Dacheng realm, but obviously it should not be the last person of the missionary, the hundred ghost cow Zhang Tu.

I heard that it was a rude brute.

And the age doesn't match.

Shaking his head, he put these thoughts behind him for the time being.

What Liu Xin cares about more is actually the combination task.

He's looking forward to receiving the reward.

[Star Change] gave him the ability to fight with a veteran powerhouse like the Black Knife Lao Ba.

I don't know how much the follow-up rewards can improve his strength.

And he's going to take some time to think about the amazing things that happened to him.

The attribute panel made him, an atheist, feel a little shaken in his heart.

After returning to Liufu, Senior Brother Cheng had disappeared, thinking that he was busy with his own affairs.

There was a big chaos in the imperial capital tonight, and it happened to be an activity with the secret investigation team.

There were less than two hours before dawn, and Liu Xin did not choose to sleep, meditating and cultivating to relax his mind and get rest.

As soon as it was dawn, Liu Xin got up and came to the front hall.

As an intelligence officer, he had to hide as soon as it was dawn, so he estimated that Senior Brother Cheng would come back at this time.

Sure enough, as soon as he came to the front hall, Senior Brother Cheng walked in through the gate of the front yard.

"What a coincidence, waiting for me?"

Senior Brother Cheng had a smile on his face, it seemed that he had done a lot of things that night.

"Yes, let's talk in your study."

Liu Xin needs to bring the matter of the jade seal back to the Holy Sect through Senior Brother Cheng.

There are many people in the Holy Sect who like to study these, and maybe someone will be able to know why the White Lotus Sect wants this jade seal.

As for the rest of the MeSign, he had already taken it away.

Only one envelope remained.

When Liu Xin handed the envelope to Senior Brother Cheng, Senior Brother Cheng's face was strange.

When he saw the seal, his face was even more shocked.

"You can't have done what happened last night, right?"

Looking at Senior Brother Cheng's vigilant face, Liu Xin suddenly felt a little speechless.

"Senior Brother Cheng, why do you think so?"

"It's nothing, I just think how can you be so bold?

This is a big crime of privately covering the jade seal and destroying the family. ”

"Come on, this is not the jade seal used to cover the holy decree."

Liu Xin glanced at Senior Brother Cheng, and then told Senior Brother Cheng what happened last night.

I also told him about the mysterious man of the White Lotus Sect.

"Tell me, why are you so curious?

If you don't have a stamp, they won't find you. ”

"Really, won't?"

“……”

Senior Brother Cheng was directly dumbfounded by Liu Xin's rhetorical question.

yes, really?

According to what Liu Xin said, the White Lotus Sect is not all stupid, since it only asks for a seal, why not stamp it when it is stolen.

It would be nice to take away the stamped seal afterwards.

It may not even attract such a big hunt.

That black knife old man will not be killed.

The White Lotus Sect has lost its wife and broken its troops.

If one of their goals is Liu Xin, then what is their purpose?

Although Liu Xin is now a member of Jinyi Wei, his real identity is the senior brother of the Holy Sect.

But these two identities are really not eye-catching for those real big forces.

In the end, Senior Brother Cheng also decisively threw this question out of his mind.

What Liu Xin and Senior Brother Cheng didn't know was that when they stole this jade seal, they were discovered just after taking the jade seal.

The people of the White Lotus Sect fled all the way, and they didn't have time to think about it at all.

Of course, there are no literate people among them, like Liu Xin, who can think that the ink contaminated under the jade seal can not be dried for a hundred years.

Of course, this is mainly because the palace is properly maintained, otherwise if it is blown outside, let alone the ink, the jade seal should be blown and cracked.

In short, the people of the White Lotus Sect really didn't think of stealing the seal, and they habitually complicated things.

"Alright, I'll pass this matter back to the Holy Sect and ask those patriarchs.

They know a lot and may be able to give us an answer. ”

"By the way, I may be going out of the city today, can Senior Brother Cheng help me find Xiao Qi?"

"If the gates are open today and people can be released, maybe I can help find them.

But the most important thing is Xiao Qi, don't hide too deeply.

Otherwise, we are not omnipotent. ”

Liu Xin nodded.

If Xiao Qizang is very deep, then if you want to find him, you may have to rely on yourself.

After all, there is still a set of code words for communication between the seven of them.

That set of code words was designed for them by Fifth Uncle Zuo Changyu.

Subtle.

At the beginning, Liu Xin secretly showed it to the two elders, and even the elders couldn't see the doorway inside.

It is enough to show the level of this set of code words.

After chatting with Senior Brother Cheng for a while, the two saw that it was almost dark, so they went to the front hall for breakfast.
