The Owl is not known for its speed, but it has excellent endurance and is best suited for long-distance flights.

Chaoshan Town is located in the south of the southern suburbs of Shengshan County, only a few dozen kilometers away from the county seat.

Wang Kun acted like a trick, took out two chicken legs, gave one to the free one, and ate the wine himself.

You Li looked down at the earth curiously, the cold wind blew on his face, and suddenly gave birth to a heroic feeling of "the sky and the earth are big, and I am free".

Wang Kun burped in satisfaction, and asked in a loud voice, "How did you do it, and you were able to sign a master-servant spirit contract with this young man?"

You Li pretended not to hear, and at the same time contacted the young man with his mind, asking him not to pay attention to Wang Kun's voice transmission inquiry.

Wang Kun was bored, not annoyed at all, but speculated with great interest:

"Did you beat it up? Or was it because you had something in you that attracted it?"

You said, the old fox finally showed his tail, right? Sure enough, he took a fancy to my luck, so he won't tell you!

However, Wang Kun's question did remind him that it was not the real reason why the young man asked to follow him, in fact, it faintly sensed the luck in his body, even if it couldn't tell the reason? After all, the five senses and five senses of the demon beast clan were quite developed, and they naturally had a keen intuition about the flow of heaven and earth qi.

You must know that the way of luck has always been an invisible hand hidden behind the numerology fortune, just like air is to people, it cannot be seen or touched, but everyone knows its existence. It continues to play a subtle role in the circulation of the qi of heaven and earth, and the germination, growth, development and disappearance of all things. Unless there is a special magic weapon or a corresponding secret method, it is difficult for ordinary people to intuitively feel it, even if they are good at numerology deduction, they can only reverse deduction through relevant experience and laws, and they can only see the scale claws.

Although there is a secret method for testing qi luck, there are also many preconditions, such as: it must be close to each other, qi luck must be condensed to a certain extent, and so on, and in the end, it is only possible to distinguish which type of qi luck it belongs to, and the deeper content is also limited.

But even so, his lineage is the one who knows the way of luck the most in the entire cultivation world. Therefore, it is conceivable that he will have the heart to get rid of such a son of luck.

Youli has long been aware of this, so he is always vigilant about Wang Kun's dedication.

Wang Kun saw that he was thinking about things in a daze, thinking that he was worried that what he wanted would not be able to get what he wanted, so he said in his heart:

"Don't worry. It's just to find someone who was lost more than ten years ago, as long as the person is still in the boundary of this holy mountain county, Lou Chenghuang can sense it. ”

Seeing that he wanted to diverge, he didn't defend himself, and thanked him with a smile.

After being silent for a while, he remembered something and asked in his heart:

"Senior, since you and my master have known each other for a long time, why didn't you both seem to recognize each other when you bought your rune paper on Xiaogu Mountain?"

Wang Kun put down the wine jug and replied with drunken eyes:

"We've known each other for nearly a hundred years, and we've long developed a tacit understanding. As soon as he saw me that day, he guessed that I was investigating the assassination of Yu Mohe, so he just pretended not to know me. ”

Wandering away, he asked again: "You have already locked Luo Xiaowu at that time?"

Wang Kun corked the wine jug, took a long breath of wine, nodded and said:

"At that time, I just noticed that the kid's thoughts fluctuated a little abnormally, so I kept an eye on his movements. It's a pity that the people behind the scenes are very cautious and have not shown up. Now it seems that Luo Xiaowu's kid is just an idle boy nine times out of ten, and he will use it to confuse us when necessary. ”

This doubt in his heart was solved, and he stopped talking, and sat upright to practice his exercises, resisting the cold that invaded his body from time to time in the air.

After a few moments, the owl let out a long roar and began to glide downward, finally landing on a small hill.

The two jumped down and saw the city wall of the county town from a distance.

Put away the green owl, go down the mountain and go up the official road, and meet a small caravan carrying charcoal to the city. The two negotiated with the team leader, and at the cost of 20 yuan each, they got on the bus.

He set up a pergola with his hand, looked up at the sky, and said leisurely: "It looks like it's still midsummer, but in fact, winter is just around the corner." ”

Then he ate the leftover chicken bones with his hands, knocked the wheels rhythmically, and recited softly:

"The clouds in the sky are like white clothes, and the beard is changed like a dog. Throughout the ages, everything in life has a ......"

Wang Kun listened attentively, and when he stopped talking, he asked, "This poem is good, did you write it?"

You Li shook his head and didn't answer.

At this time, the convoy had already arrived in front of the city gate, and Wang Kun took out a yellow degree letter card. When the guards who were checking saw it, they immediately bowed down and saluted and let them go directly.

The two got out of the car and went straight to the City God Temple, which is located in the middle of the city.

The Chenghuang Temple in Shengshan County is a typical pattern of "the front temple and the back Taoist courtyard", that is, the first half is the Jade Emperor Pavilion, the archway, the City God Hall and other buildings, which are dedicated to the Jade Emperor and the county town god Lou Jinyu, respectively; the second half is the government secretary of the Taoist Department of Shengshan County, including the Taoist hall for daily affairs, the Taoist house where Taoist priests at all levels live, and the wing room for entertaining guests.

At this time, the hour had passed, and the scorching sun was scorching the earth, but it still could not stop the enthusiasm of the pilgrims. The pilgrims in the temple are endless, and it is particularly lively.

Wang Kun wanted to take Youli directly to the Taoist Division in the backyard, but Youli insisted on queuing up to buy incense and burn incense.

"Since I am here to ask Lord Chenghuang for help, I naturally have to pay attention to a 'sincerity and spirit'. ”

Hearing what Youli said, Wang Kun couldn't stop it anymore, so he also lined up with him.

The long procession along the long corridor outside the City God's Hall extends to the archway in front, but it is orderly, and the good men and women are not loud and noisy, and they enter in turn to worship incense and pray, and there is almost no need for the temple to come forward to maintain the situation.

Half an hour later, it was finally the turn of the two of them.

You Li took out one hundred and twenty yuan, bought two handfuls of bamboo sticks with slightly better incense, gave one to Wang Kun, lit it on the candle flame of the incense case, and offered incense to each other.

With his eyes closed, he humbly confessed what he had asked for in his heart.

At this time, a mellow voice suddenly remembered in his heart: "Come to the west wing of the backyard later." ”

Wandering centrifugal is a joy, this is the heart's request to get a response.

Then, according to the instructions of the voice, he came to the backyard door with Wang Kun.

This is the seat of the county provincial association, and ordinary pilgrims are not allowed to enter. At the door of the deacon was a young and strong Taoist priest, and when he saw the yellow letter plate on Wang Kun's waist, he immediately respectfully let him go. was about to inform Zhiketang, which was responsible for receiving visitors, but was stopped by Wang Kun.

"Don't bother Zhiketang, we just came to see Lou Chenghuang, you just take us to the living room of the West Wing. ”

When the little man heard this, he was very attentive, and led the way first, led the two to their destination, and nodded and went away.

The two entered the hall and found that a big man in a black python robe was already sitting in front of the tea table, making tea.

"It's just right, the people have arrived, and the tea is ready. ”

The person who spoke was Lou Jinyu, the county god of Shengshan County.

The two immediately made a mockery of Lou Jinyu, and then sat down opposite him.

Only then did you see that Lou Jinyu's python robe was embroidered with a huge black bear, stepping on auspicious clouds, majestic and majestic.

At this point, there is a number in the free centrifuge. This Lou Chenghuang is a man from the five grades.

More than 100 years ago, after unifying the world east of the Zhongshan Mountains, the Danze Empire carried out a drastic reform of the chaos caused by the original feudal feudal mountains and rivers of various countries, and adopted the "rank official system" of the secular court.

For example, the lowest level of the land lord, the god rank is mostly from the seventh grade, so the name is "from the seventh grade of the earth", and so on, until the highest level of the Taishan god, the number is "from the first grade of the earth".

The basis for the ranking of the god rank is naturally to consider cultivation first, followed by the size of the territory under its jurisdiction, and its population, products, etc., since then it has been customized, so that from then on, the river is clear and the sea is clear, and the world is peaceful.

Lou Jinyu looked at You Li and said, "I heard that in this battle of Fog Demon Ridge, you have made miraculous achievements. Sure enough, he is a young hero, and his strength is extraordinary. ”

You Li hugged his fists and said: "The old man of the city god praised it falsely, and the younger generation was ashamed. ”

Lou Jinyu put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Your wish, I have learned through the smell of incense, it is not difficult to check your brother's information, only the blood of your loved ones is enough." ”

He was busy saying, "This is a little difficult." I am an adopted son, not my parents. Does it have to be blood?"

When Lou Jinyu heard this, she said: "Blood is the best, and if you retreat to the second, you can also use the hair and nails of your loved ones." ”

You Li smiled: "This is really prepared." ”

As he spoke, he took out the hair and nails of You Mingda and Lin Qin from his pouch.

Lou Jinyu took it into her hand, and at the same time there was an extra jade wat-shaped long board two feet long and two or three inches wide in her hand, which was the unique natal object of the earth - the jade plate of the god lord.

Lou Jinyu injected divine power into the jade plate of the god master, and the chanting sounded in his mouth, and when he did not move, the golden light in his eyes shone brightly, and the deep eyes seemed to be able to see thousands of miles.

At the same time, his head began to rotate slowly in a counterclockwise direction. Half an hour later, the head turned in a full circle, and his eyes also swept around, and the painting style was extremely weird and terrifying.

In the end, Lou Jinyu finally "returned to her soul", the golden light in her eyes dissipated, and her eyes focused on Youli.

Lou Jinyu shook his head and said, "Your brother's breath is not in the territory of Shengshan County, but in the northwest of Shengshan County, and the distance is uncertain—if there is blood, it may be more accurate." ”

After hearing this, he asked a little unwillingly: "Northwest direction, how far is it from here?"

"I can't say, I can only say that it is within a thousand miles. ”

Wang Kun, who had not spoken out before, said at this time: "Then, it is very likely to be in the area of Anxi Prefecture." ”

Lou Jinyu nodded, "That's what the little god means." ”

You Li immediately got up and thanked him: "Thank you, Master Chenghuang." ”

Lou Jinyu smiled: "It's just a trivial matter. Hope it helps. ”

At this point, the Fog Demon Ridge and his party finally came to a successful end. After sitting for a while, he got up and said goodbye.

Wang Kun needed to return to the capital temporarily because of the investigation of the assassination case, and at the same time sent back the rubbings of animal skin documents obtained in the Fog Demon Ridge, so he did not come out.

wandering away from the bustling street scene of the county, he went straight out of the city gate, found a no-man's land, and released the green owl.

The owl spread its wings and flew away in a southeasterly direction.
