The honor guard of the Divine Lotus Sect traveled through the countryside, clamoring all the way, and everywhere they went, there were many believers who greeted each other and bowed to make offerings, which seemed quite pious.

The trail rider followed, about ten zhang apart, and soon fell into the eyes of those who cared about it, causing vigilance.

Some villagers pointed at Chen Tang and discussed, and their expressions were full of vigilance and suspicion. Someone had even run up to the mage of the Divine Lotus Sect to inform him of the matter.

The mage waved his hand lightly, shook a copper bell in his hand, and didn't seem to take Chen Tang behind him in his eyes at all, and continued to lead the crowd forward.

Chen Tang is not hidden, his body shape, observing along the road, has a plan in his heart. I have to say that in this countryside, the Divine Lotus Sect is quite popular. Entrenched here, after a long time, it will become a prairie fire, and it will cause disaster.

Rusi walked for a while, the sun rose high, and it became hot.

The honor guard of the Divine Lotus Sect stopped in front of a willow forest, and everyone sat down to rest. They sat on the ground in a unified posture, one by one sitting cross-legged, hands on their knees, pinching out a strange trick, three fingers bent, two fingers facing upward. People close their eyes tightly, and look at their noses and noses as if they are in a state of mind.

Not far away, Chen Tang restrained the horses and looked at them coldly.

......

More than ten miles in the suburbs, near the mountains and rivers, there is a courtyard. This place was originally a wealthy merchant industry in Panzhou, but with the passage of time, the other courtyard has changed hands and has become a rudder stronghold of the Divine Lotus Sect.

Chen Hongru, the leader of the Divine Lotus Sect, is pretentious, and his whereabouts are even more mysterious and evasive. Even if you want to see the sect leader, you have to make an appointment in advance, line up, and wait for the meeting. On a daily basis, Chen Hongru gives orders, and the Holy Envoy of the Divine Lotus is responsible for conveying and supervising the implementation.

As the sect grew and its adherents increased, a series of hierarchies were established within the sect. Under the sect leader, there are two holy women on the left and right, and under the holy women, there are five holy envoys. Implement at the local level, set up a rudder, and appoint the lord of incense to govern. So far, there have been nine rudders.

This annex is one of the rudders.

From the outside, there is nothing unusual about the courtyard, it seems to be an ordinary courtyard. However, above the gate of the courtyard, there are two hideous images of door gods, with sharp horns and fangs, which are very different from other door gods. And on the right side of the door, there is also a white lotus flower. This is a sign that there is no fear of government inspections at all, which is equivalent to opening the door to do business.

A person walked briskly and stepped into the courtyard.

"Tell Master Pei Xiang that something happened to Master Su's guard of honor. ”

That Pei Xiang is about thirty years old, short and strong, with a pair of thick and short palms, which are abnormally gray-black, obviously cultivating some kind of outer door poison skill:

"What's the matter?"

"There are people who don't have long eyes to follow. ”

Lord Pei Xiang didn't care, and asked casually, "Who is it?"

"It should be the Gu family's people, the Gu family has been recruiting customers these days, and this guy has been following from Dongxiang Manor. ”

Hearing this, Lord Pei Xiang smiled: "It's all third-rate goods, the mage can deal with it, do you want me to do it?"

The man said, "There are villages and villages along the way, and the believers have responded enthusiastically, and there are some things that the mage does not want to be seen. In addition, the other party doesn't seem to be weak in kung fu, so if something goes wrong, I'm afraid there will be trouble. ”

Pei Xiang was stunned: "Although the Gu family's reputation is not low, most of their connections have withered, and they are taking the path of scholars, what kind of decent masters can they recruit?"

"I don't know, the mage is not accurate, so he asked the villain to come back and say goodbye, please make a decision. ”

Lord Pei Xiang touched the short beard of his chin, and a pair of leopard eyes flashed with a fierce light: "Hmph, the Gu family is pretentious and high, and they are blocking their hands and feet in the city, and the sect leader has long been unable to see it." I have shown favor to him several times before, but I am shameless, so don't blame us. ”

The man asked, "What does the Lord of the Incense mean, we ...... directly"

He made a gesture of raising and dropping his sword.

Lord Pei Xiang smiled: "Don't worry, the order we received is to explore the truth first, and then gradually encroach on it." This Gu family has a big business, and it is not something that can be swallowed in one bite. On the bright side, the Tan family and the Yan family are pressing. ”

The spy nodded, in understanding.

Master Pei Xiang said again: "Since it is inconvenient for the mage to make a move, then okay, I will let Ma Wu Ma and Six go to them, and if I have the opportunity, I will directly do that guy." ”

"Okay, I'll go back to the mage right away. ”

After he left, Pei Xiangzhu stretched his waist and didn't care too much about the honor guard being followed. Since the development of the Divine Lotus Sect, there have been countless incidents, and in comparison, being followed is really nothing. The other party only followed and did not dare to act, which in itself speaks for itself, but it is just a small role. Since you don't have long eyes, make a remote place and wipe things off.

......

In the city of Panzhou, prosperity is no longer and people's livelihood is low. From time to time, the sound of horses' hooves galloping sounded in the streets, and some soldiers and armor flaunted their might, startling pedestrians to dodge.

Gu Mansion, today Gu Heng did not go to the Admiral Academy, but stayed at home.

Gu Yuan knew that his father had something on his mind, so he came early to say goodbye.

"Yuan'er, has the matter of Dongxiang Manor been resolved?"

Gu Heng drank tea and asked.

Gu Yuan hurriedly said: "Father, Wuji has only been there for a day, so it shouldn't be so fast." ”

Gu Heng asked again: "Then do you know what is going on?"

Gu Yuan told the story of the blood in the good fields, the dead people in the yin well, and the bones missing.

Gu Heng listened, reached out and rubbed his forehead, looking like he had a headache. Sage Yun: Silent and strange. But something, it's always been there. It's just never been as ferocious as it is now.

Gu Yuan sighed: "But we ran into it, and we were helpless." ”

Gu Heng sneered: "Not necessarily." ”

Gu Yuan was stunned: "What does my father mean?"

Gu Heng said slowly: "Whoever can say for sure about such a thing, there may be someone coming to our house." ”

Gu Yuan listened and took a breath: If this is the case, then the situation is much more complicated. Immediately thought of a serious problem, if the balance was broken, as the weak side, the Gu family would definitely bear the brunt.

Gu Heng said: "I heard news that the Holy Lord sent the Son of Heaven on his own side, and it is likely to come to Panzhou. ”

Gu Yuan's spirit perked up: "In that case, wouldn't it be possible to turn the situation around?"

Gu Heng smiled bitterly: "That will be so easy? I don't know when Qin Cha will come." The only way to do this is to save yourself. In addition, we have to be prepared, if we really can't hold on, you and Le'er will take the opportunity to leave Panzhou. ”

Gu Yuan's body trembled, he didn't speak, he thought a lot, a thousand things, his father's meaning was very clear, if the matter of Dongxiang Manor could not be solved, it would mean that the situation that the family had worked so hard to maintain would be torn apart, and it would be out of control.

Mowgli Door Head, okay?
