Bai Xingxian also felt that this person was by no means an ordinary Taoist priest, and she was a little afraid of the aura exuded by that Taoist priest, even if she didn't want to admit that she was timid, but it was an indisputable fact.

Only the Shen cuttlefish was still looking at the east, taking a closer look, his eyes were circulating between the eager gazes and excited expressions of the people, and he snorted coldly with disdain: "What a demon." The procession walked through the streets, and the people worshipped one after another, their faces full of piety, and at this moment, it was as if the emperor was on patrol.

"If there are such people in the world, where will there be so many calamities? Bai Xing also sneered in a low voice. Shen Cuttlefish turned his head and asked, "Don't you believe it?" "I don't believe it?" "I said I believe it, do you believe it?" "Nonsense!" Bai Xing scolded with tears, knowing that this kid would not be serious for a few days, so he ignored him and still looked up to see the battle posture of the Taoist priest.

Looking carefully, the Taoist priest was not immovable, there was still a golden bell hidden in the sleeve of his left hand, which shook from time to time, but the crisp sound of the golden bell was drowned out by the people's worship and noisy gongs and drums.

The apricot yellow rune paper was blown by the cold wind in mid-air, completely ignited, and bloomed one after another gorgeous red flowers, fluttering with the wind, short-lived, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into ashes and fell on the street. The people rushed forward like wolves and tigers to grab the ashes that had long since disappeared, and if they grabbed the bits and pieces, they happily held them in their hands, squeezed out of the crowd, and ran home shouting, offering themselves and praying for peace.

They believed that the burnt peace charm would bring them peace.

Looking at the arrival of the so-called Heavenly Master who was gradually moving away, and looking at the people who were ecstatic, almost crazy, like beasts, coaxing the rune paper, Shen Cuttlefish and the three of them stood up, looked at each other, and sighed lightly, their original interest was disrupted by this sudden strange phenomenon. "Strange, weird. Shen Cuttlefish muttered to himself.

When Pei Jingnian heard this, he turned around and smiled and asked, "Oh? What does Shen Gongzi think, what's strange?" Shen Cuttlefish replied truthfully: "I don't think they look like real Taoist priests at all." Bai Xing also sneered when he heard this: "Pretending to be a ghost, fooling the people, and making a fool of the people, it is clear that there is something else." ”

Both of them have a point, but one thing is not clear. Pei Jingnian said lightly. Shen Cuttlefish and Bai Xing couldn't understand what they meant, and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean by this?" Pei Jingnian looked at the distant figure and said thoughtfully: "Purpose." What is their purpose? Six months have passed, if they really have other plans, why don't they do it? Even the government has been involved with them, what are they still worried about? Is it for the sake of enriching money, or is it power ......?"

Bai Xing clenched the Bai Zejian in his hand and said, "No matter what their purpose is, I just won't let them succeed! Whether it's out of Jianghu morality or something else." Shen Cuttlefish's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "You mean, their group of people is likely to have something to do with the monk of Guangwang Temple?" Pei Jingnian did not answer, and Bai Xingxian smiled with his eyes, and leaned over to him and said: "Think about it, if it is really that Lord Chen is unwilling to thoroughly investigate the murder of his predecessor, he blames the monk of Guangwang Temple." Now they are openly and openly allowing this Taoist priest to fool the people in Zhongtianfu and make waves, and if he can't keep it, this Taoist priest will be killed with Lord Liu, and the old monk of Guangwang Temple will be implicated in the murder case, perhaps, it is their private collusion!"

Although this idea is bold, it is not impossible, and Pei Jingnian does not dare to break it lightly, just as one of the possible results. If it is really the current Mansion Yin who conspired with the demon Dao to marry the monk of Guangwang Temple, it means that Lord Liu's death is inseparable. But what is puzzling is that even if Lord Liu dies, it is not necessarily Lord Chen who takes over, he has been planning for a long time, but the beneficiary is not necessarily himself, isn't that making a wedding dress for others?

In this case, how did he plan this appalling and earth-shattering case in advance, and how did he predict that he would take over his position? What was his purpose? This is also the most difficult thing for Pei Jingnian to figure out, this matter is still clueless, only a few scattered thoughts, seemingly reasonable, but nothing more than nonsense. At this time, Pei Jingnian had already devoted himself to this long trip to the rivers and lakes, and regarded Shen Cuttlefish and others as his friends, thus forgetting the task assigned to him by Yan Jie.

Yan Jie, who was far away in Anhuai Mansion, still did not receive any news about Pei Jingnian, and thought that since the post station, when Pei Jingnian arrived in Yanzhou Mansion, he would try to notify Anhuai Mansion as soon as possible, but Yan Jie could not sleep every day, sleepless all night, frightened, and every time he closed his eyes, he always saw that the valley lord of Chiyan Valley forced himself to hand over the "Snow Scroll", and then he would wake up from his dream and find that he was already sweaty.

At this time, Yan Jie was sitting alone in the inner hall, angry, furious, and angry, and his heart was horizontal, and he was about to issue a sea fishing document, asking the neighboring state capital to help search for the whereabouts of Pei Jingnian and his party in the name of a wanted criminal, and arrest Shen Cuttlefish and others back to Anhuai Mansion, and directly punish him to force him to hand over the secrets. He couldn't stay a day in such a tormented day.

But just as he was about to get up to draft the paperwork, his legs fell to the ground as soon as he was weak, and a strange fragrance penetrated into his nose, making him dizzy and weak, and just when he was full of doubts and wanted to struggle, a very familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "Lord Yan, long time no see." Yan Jie chuckled in his heart, turned his head tremblingly, and saw the valley lord of Chiyan Valley wearing a pure white mask, who had already changed into a dark green coarse cloth shirt at this time, rolled up his cuffs, revealing two snow-white lotus arms, a bun on his head, and a jasper hairpin obliquely inserted.

"You...... Why are you here again......" Yan Jie swallowed his saliva and asked with a pretended composure. The Chiyan Valley Lord chuckled and said, "Let's see if Lord Yan is okay, by the way, get back what I deserve." Yan Jie laughed dryly twice, and asked knowingly, "Oh?

The Lord of Chiyan Valley was slightly stunned, she had also cooperated with many people, but no one had ever been as arrogant as Yan Jie, so she said solemnly: "I have an appointment with Lord Yan, according to the agreement, today is the deadline for you to retrieve the "Scroll in the Snow" for me, and I have already paid half of the honorarium, presumably Lord Yan, shouldn't he be so forgetful? Or is Lord Yan joking with me?"

Yan Jie naturally knew in his heart that Pei Jingnian had not sent back any news, let alone the whereabouts of "The Scroll in the Snow", but he didn't dare to deceive the Chiyan Valley Lord anymore, for fear that what would happen after being exposed by her again, it would not be so simple. Yan Jie lowered his head and said softly: "To be honest, I haven't gotten the "Scroll in the Snow" yet...... But my subordinates are already doing their best! Give me some more time, and if you give me more grace, you must believe me!"

Speaking of excitement, Yan Jie raised his head again, waiting for the Chiyan Valley Lord, his eyes flashed with tears, and his face showed a rare show of fear. But the valley lord of Chiyan Valley sighed lightly, shook his head and walked in front of Yan Jie, squatted down, looked at him levelly, and said in a serious voice: "It's a pity that my patience with Lord Yan has been exhausted, I gave you too much time, but you don't even have a little bit of value." ”

After that, she chuckled and stood up again, looking down at Yan Jie, whose face was full of horror and trembling like chaff, this powerful court official was just a dying ant in her eyes at this time, she patted Yan Jie's cold cheek, but Yan Jie dodged again and again, as if he had been stimulated by something, and squirmed wildly with his elbows on the ground, trying to crawl backwards, but the slow movement speed was not as fast as the Chiyan Valley Lord to take a step.

"Lord Yan, where are you going?" The cold voice of the Chiyan Valley Lord sounded in Yan Jie's ears, Yan Jie hurriedly responded, and he had already begun to choke, as if he would cry out in the next moment: "You let me go! Spare my life! I hid all the money, the money you gave me, I didn't move! I gave it back to you, I gave it back to you!"

But the Chiyan Valley Lord shook his head and said, "No need, Lord Yan, you should keep the money yourself." But our agreement ended here, because this deal collapsed!" Looking at Yan Jie's gradually protruding eyes, reddened cheeks and bursting green tendons, the valley lord of Chiyan Valley was not moved at all.

Yan Jie was still struggling, his hands and feet were constantly fluttering, Yan Jie saw this, and smiled slightly: "Since Lord Yan is so painful, then I won't torture you, and give you a happy death, lest Lord Yan go to the Netherworld and sue me to the King of Hades." Lord Yan, the faster you cooperate!", he turned his wrist. only heard a click, and easily twisted Yan Jie's neck.

After confirming that Yan Jie had lost his breath, the Chiyan Valley Lord took the broken neck back again, restored it to its original state, and dragged Yan Jie back to the wooden case, crossed his legs, leaned against the side of the case, turned his back to the door, and sat with his head down, as if the outsiders were asleep. And the Chiyan Valley Lord snorted coldly and said to himself: "I have found so many people, and every one of them is reliable. ”

After that, when he heard the footsteps outside the house, he knew that this place was not suitable for a long time, so he flew up, ran up to the roof, closed the tiles that had been removed, and walked away on the roof, and disappeared into the night.

At this time, the two brothers Cen Duan and Bai Wushou also happened to come to Zhongtian Mansion, and Bai Wushou couldn't help asking: "Big brother, what if they take a detour to Zhongtian Mansion and bump into us again?"
