Early the next morning, Liu Hao rushed to Mingcheng with Su Wufang, and along the way, Liu Hao took Su Wufang and flew at full speed with a flying sword, which was different from walking leisurely in Chongxu Mountain before. The speed this time was extremely fast, if it weren't for Liu Hao using a barrier to isolate the wind pressure, the wind pressure generated by the high-speed flight alone would be enough to blow Su Wufang away.

Mingcheng is located in the middle of Jingzhou in the south of Chongxu Mountain, not far from Chongxu, according to Liu Hao's speed can be reached in less than a day, in the process of flying Liu Hao was not idle, along the way to explain some matters after: "Xiao Suzi, when you arrive in Mingcheng, senior brother will put down your Taoist temple in Mingcheng, you just need to give the barrier to the master of the mission in the outer pavilion, he will tell you the details of this mission." ”

Su Wuxian listened to the meaning of Liu Hao's words, depending on whether he was ready to act separately from him, so he asked, "Senior brother, are you going to investigate the matter of Baibao Pavilion first?"

Liu Hao nodded and said, "Well, senior brother won't be with you this time, I will go to Yunming Market first." If there is any problem that cannot be solved, you can tell the head of the Taoist temple and he will inform me. ”

Su Wuxian was interested when he heard it: "Senior brother, didn't this market say that it was in Mingcheng?"

Liu Hao smiled slightly and pretended to be mysterious: "This Yunming Market is indeed in Mingcheng, but it is not in Mingcheng. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Hao paused, Su Wufang looked at Liu Hao, so he knew that Liu Hao was waiting for him to ask, and Su Wufang, who had seen through Liu Hao's thoughts, of course couldn't follow Liu Hao's wishes, forcibly suppressed his curiosity, and deliberately stopped asking.

Liu Hao, who was waiting for an explanation, saw that Su Wufang was gone, as if a sneeze was halfway through, and he couldn't get up. After waiting for a while, Liu Hao couldn't help but glance back at his junior brother, and saw Su Wufang looking at him with a smile on his face, Liu Hao knew that his junior brother was probably deliberate.

Liu Hao also no longer sold Guan Zi and explained angrily: "Yunming Market is a space opened up by someone on the basis of Mingcheng with great mana, and that space is the same size as Mingcheng, and it is the largest market in Jingzhou. ”

Looking at Liu Hao like this, Su Wufang couldn't help laughing: "Haha, senior brother, you want to be beaten by frost like this, the eggplant is wilted." ”

Liu Hao turned his head and glared at Su Wufang and said, "Xiao Suzi, you learned badly with Old Man Liu, you weren't like this." You were well behaved in the dungeon before, hey, my well-behaved little brother is gone. ”

Seeing this, Su Wufang smiled even more happily: "Hahaha, senior brother, it's so funny for you to be like this." ”

Liu Hao reluctantly poured a big sip of wine, and the two of them didn't feel bored talking and laughing along the way, and rushed to Mingcheng when the sun was about to set.

Liu Hao hid his mana and released a streamer that fell silently at the back door of a Taoist temple in Mingcheng, this Taoist temple incense was extremely prosperous, and even in the back of the Taoist temple, you could hear the voices of people in the Taoist temple.

Liu Hao came to the back door of the Taoist temple and knocked on the door gently, and after a while, a little Taoist boy opened the door: "This senior brother, please come in, the master is receiving pilgrims, please follow me to the living room." ”

"I'm not going. Liu Hao shook his head and said to Su Wufang: "It's okay for you to go with him, I'll go first." ”

After saying that, Liu Hao turned around and left, Su Wuxian glanced at the Dao Tong in front of him and saluted: "Then trouble Daoist friends to lead the way." ”

After the Dao Tong returned a salute, he took the lead in leading the way in front, and the two of them walked all the way through the aisle to a side hall, and the Dao Tong left after sending Su Wuxian away, and someone brought tea soon after taking a seat.

Su Wufang was bored, so he could only pick up the tea and drink it, and before he took two sips, he saw a group of Taoist people coming in a hurry, the Taoist had a warm face, although he was in a hurry when he walked, but his pace was not chaotic, and he thought that he was also cultivating.

However, he didn't use his divine thoughts to check the cultivation of this Daoist, which was an extremely impolite thing, so he could only roughly sense it, this Daoist probably had a cultivation in the middle to late stages of refining.

The Taoist came to the living room to tidy up his clothes, and said to Su Wuxi: "Below is the master of this Yunming Taoist Temple, Lu Lin. Dare to ask how to call a friend. ”

Su Wufang hurriedly replied with a salute and said, "In Xiachong Void Mountain, Su Wufang." ”

As soon as he heard that it was from Chongxu Mountain, Lu Lin immediately respected a little, and after he reported the matter of Mingcheng, he was facing everyone who was facing the righteous path, but he didn't expect that this time it was actually a person from Chongxu Mountain. Chongxu Mountain is a Taoist holy land, and as a Taoist, he will naturally be a little more in awe.

Su Wufang took out the voucher given to him by the outer pavilion from his arms and said, "Lord Lu Guan, this is the voucher, I came this time to investigate the disappearance of the man in the city. ”

Lu Lin took the voucher and scanned it to confirm the information on it, and then said, "Don't call me like that, just call me Lu Lin, let's sit down and talk." ”

After speaking, the two of them sat down separately, and Lu Lin and Su Wufang narrated: "There is a Belvedere next door to Mingcheng, and there are two roads that can connect the two cities, one is an official road and the other is a small road. The trail is closer, but it's hard to walk, so many people choose which trail to take. But some time ago, several people passed by that road and did not come back, and the missing people were all men. I've also been there to investigate, but I haven't found anything, and I can't stay there for a long time because there's so much going on. Now there are rumors in the city that there are evil spirits blocking the road, and the situation is getting worse and worse, so I have no choice but to ask for help. ”

Su Wuxian nodded after listening: "Don't worry, I'll go check it out." ”

............

On the way to Mingcheng, there were two people riding horses, two scholars dressed up, one of them was dressed in a brocade dress, and a piece of jade pendant was pinned to his waist, the jade pendant was of high quality, and the price was very expensive. It's just because the girl in Liu Honglou is so enthusiastic, seeing that I am brilliant and insists on keeping me, I am really gracious. Brother Song, it's a pity that you didn't come. ”

Another scholar looked ordinary, sitting on a horse and holding a book in his hand and reading with relish, when he heard the brocade-robed scholar speak, the scholar raised the book in his hand and looked at the other party and said: "Brother Jiang said that he laughed, it is more tempting for the next to still hold the book in his hand." ”

It turned out that these two people were both talents from Jiangbei Town, Licheng, and the one wearing the brocade robe was the son of the richest man in Jiangbei Town, named Jiang Hongwen. The other person is Song Shi, who is a steamed bun shop at home, and is a nerd who can only read.

The two of them went to congratulate the birthday of an official in Jingzhou Mansion, and this official was also born in Jiangbei Town, Jiang Hongwen's father asked Jiang Hongwen to get acquainted with each other, and it would be easy to communicate in the officialdom in the future. Jiang Hongwen's father specially instructed Jiang Hongwen to bring Song Shi, first, Song Shi is a scholar who is extremely optimistic about the official master, and second, Song Shi is indeed talented, so they can communicate and support each other in the future.

But when he passed by a town on the way, Jiang Hongwen went out for a stroll, passed by Hualiu Lane and saw that those girls were handsome, and he didn't hold on to the delay, so he had no choice but to choose this shortcut. And as a reader, he is familiar with the books of the sages, and the books of the sages are silent, and the two of them have the courage to embark on this road.

The two of them were still walking, and they saw a dark cloud floating in the distance, a large black area, and it felt like it was pressing on people's hearts.

Jiang Hongwen looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and said, "Brother Song, it seems that the sky is about to change." Let's walk a few steps quickly, there is only one place on this road to shelter from the rain, and it seems that we will still spend the night in the Land Temple. ”

Originally, both of them wanted to spend the night in the wild, but who knew that the sky was not beautiful, and it looked like it was going to rain heavily, and they had to find a place to shelter from the rain. Originally, I thought that no matter if there was really a ghost or not, I would just go to the Land Temple for the night, and be wronged for one night.

It seems that people are still not as good as heaven, and they still have to spend the night in the Land Temple in the end.

Song Shi also looked up, and after seeing the dark clouds in the sky, Song Shi was also anxious, and there were still many books in the book bag behind him. Even if the book bag can keep some rain, if it is not blocked, the books will be destroyed.

Song Shi put the book in his hand into the book bag and said to Jiang Hongwen: "Brother Jiang, let's go." ”

After saying that, the two rode their horses forward, and before the two of them could reach the Land Temple, there was a roaring thunder in the sky, and a heavy rain poured down.

Song Shi was busy with the book bag in his arms, for fear that the books in the book bag would be wet by the heavy rain.

And Jiang Hongwen stretched out the folding fan to block his head, and shouted: "Bad luck!"

Before the two of them were completely wet by the rain, they finally found the Land Temple, and after the two hurriedly tied their horses under the eaves, they entered the front hall of the Land Temple.

This land temple is not big, there are two halls before and after, the front hall is dedicated to the statue of the god of the land, and the back hall is dedicated to the god of wealth. Between the two halls is a small courtyard, and in the courtyard is an incense burner that has long been abandoned, and it seems that no one has come to worship this land temple for a long time.

When the two came to the front hall, Jiang Hongwen found a clean place and sat down to rest, and complained in his mouth: "When I came, the sky was clear, and no matter how I said it this day, it would change, and I was drenched in this body." ”

Song Shi looked around the front hall and found that many of the predecessors stayed overnight with charcoal and extra firewood. Song Shi was not too dirty, he took it into his arms, hugged Jiang Hongwen, and smiled slightly when he saw Jiang Hongwen's appearance, and said with relief: "Brother Jiang, it doesn't hurt to get some rain, after the new rain in the empty mountain, the weather will come late in autumn." The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone is upstream. It's not a novel experience. There's still some firewood, so let's take off our clothes and bake them, and we'll be able to dry them tomorrow. ”

Song Shi found a long bamboo pole and came to the statue of the land god, saluted and said that he was offended, and then put the bamboo pole on the hand of the god and the shelf next to it.

The two took off their wet coats and put them on the bamboo poles, the clothes had been soaked by the rain, but fortunately, the inner lining was not wet, only a little damp.

After confirming that there was no water in the book bag, Song Shi took out another book and looked at it with relish.

And Jiang Hongwen spread the straw on the ground to lay a resting place, walked on the straw and played with the folding fan boringly, saw Song Shi began to read the book again, and silently said in his heart, what a nerd.
