Located in the Qintian Prison of Chaotian Palace, cigarettes curled and jade chimes sounded, and more than a dozen elegantly dressed attendants were busy inside and out. makes this central institution, which has a pivotal position above the temple, have such a taste of immortal blessed land.

In the main hall, Qin He, the supervisor in a feather robe, was standing on a three-foot high platform, holding the black whiskers under his chin, while staring at the huge sand table on the ground with a frown.

On this giant sand table, which is three feet long and three feet wide, a complete set of thumbnail topographic maps inside and outside Yingtian City was constructed with strange techniques. The flowing and changing sand depicts the streets and alleys and even the pavilions in the city. As long as the viewer stands on the specially built three-foot high platform around them, they can preview the terrain and scenery of the entire Yingtianfu without leaving home.

At this moment, those fine sands are constantly changing with the stroking of Qin He's palm, sometimes enlarged, sometimes shrinking, and searching in Beiping City inch by inch. From time to time, some red points of light will appear on the sand table, they are different in light and dark, and there are as many as thirty or fifty in total. But the man in the feather coat was still floating, as if looking for something more special.

In the hall on the other side, a Taoist who was wearing a goose-yellow robe was pacing back and forth like ants on a hot pot. The dragon painted in ink on his robe also followed the master's mind, churning and jumping between the mountains, rivers and clouds.

Not far from the Taoist, a great monk with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, is looking at the nose, nose, mouth, mouth and mouth to recite the Buddhist scriptures, there is a faint Buddha light shining around his body, at a glance is an otherworldly monk.

I don't know how long it took, Qin He, who was looking at the sand table, sighed, turned to a monk and complained:

"No, still no. ”

Hearing this reply, the great monk did not react, and the withered Taoist shouted sharply:

"Impossible! It must be that person, it must be that person coming! Otherwise, how could someone raise such a big fog and not feel the slightest strange breath fluctuation!"

Seeing that the old Taoist priest was so excited, the big monk on the side spoke out and comforted:

"Amitabha, please also ask Huoyun Daoist friends to be calm and not impatient. If that person really came, I'm afraid that you and I would not be able to find it at all with just the three of you and me plus a half-finished celestial gazetteer. He turned to look at the man in the feather robe: "Qin Sacrifice Wine, according to the old man, it is important to find the treasure that was taken away by the thieves at present. Even if that person really appeared, he wouldn't do anything to endanger Daming's luck, so don't worry about it. ”

Qin He nodded with a wry smile, and slowly walked to the front of a monk:

"What the Master of the Void Phase said is that the few people who snatched the treasure on the street were just ordinary martial artists in the Xuan Realm, and we couldn't lock their whereabouts at all. And with such a big mess, I'm afraid they've all run out of the city, right?"

"You have to find it when you run out of the city!" "Huoyun Lao Dao, who was born in Longhu Mountain, blew his beard and glared and said: "Immeasurable Tianzun! Rush to steal tribute in Yingtian City, really your Heavenly Master and grandfather are vegetarians! Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will find those two thieves!"

"Are you sure?" asked Qin He with a puzzled expression.

"Of course it's sure!" the old Taoist priest looked natural, "Although my second apprentice has just entered the Heavenly Phenomena Realm, he arrived at the scene as soon as possible. He said to me personally, except for the one who was trampled to death by him, there were obviously two people who participated in the treasure hunting fled to the east and west, and I believe what he said!"

"Amitabha, when Brother Huoyun Dao and Qin Saijiu arrived, didn't they only find out that one person had escaped from Guyu Street?

"This ......" the withered Taoist couldn't answer for a moment.

"Unless, that person has some hidden magic weapon on him. Qin He guessed while brushing his black beard.

"Impossible! What magic weapon can cover the divine sense probing of you and me? Besides, isn't there a celestial gazer?"

"How is it impossible? Dao Leader has forgotten that the Heavenly Machine Pavilion's Heavenly Escape Talisman ......"

As soon as the man in the feather coat said this, the monk opposite him was stunned for a moment.

"Amitabha, could it be that man's subordinates took the treasure together? But with such a few things that even you and I can't look at, how could his old man go to grab them? With his strength, why don't you just go to Shenxiao Zhenren?"

Qin He glanced at the kind-eyed old monk, smiled bitterly and said:

"Master, do you think that as that person, you should go back to someone else to ask for something, and that person is moody and acts even more unbelievably, and he wants to grab a treasure on a whim to have fun?"

Hearing the feather-robed man's words, the faces of the old Dao Huoyun and the monk of the void phase both showed strange expressions. You must know that the mountain gate of the two of them was also fortunate by that master, and the reason is really because his old man thinks it is fun.

After pondering for a moment, the Fire Cloud Dao people finally shouted impatiently:

"What should I do then? Is this matter so unconcerned? You Qin Tianjian don't want to lose face, but we two worshippers still care about this old face. ”

Qin He thought for a moment, and Wen Yan replied:

"In my opinion, it's not as good as this, didn't the senior disciples of the Huoyun Daoist say that the people of Yipintang participated in the treasure hunting? It's not easy to offend that man's door, but isn't there a man who took the treasure and ran away, as long as it takes some time, you can still find some clues. After a pause, the man in the feather coat continued: "If that person's subordinates are really involved in this matter, I'm afraid that if they want to get the treasure back, they can only ask Xi Zhenren to come forward." ”

"Xi Zhenren, do you mean Xi Yingzhen, who is hiding in Qingliang Temple?" the Huoyun Daoist muttered with disdain.

"Yes, it's him. ”

"I said Qin Sacrifice Wine, are you confused? With something that the three of us can't handle with the first-grade Heavenly Phenomena Realm masters, why do you think that Xi Ying, who only has the seventh-grade realm, can really solve it?"

Smiling at the withered Daoist, Qin He explained softly:

"There is no him, just because this seat should really have some personal relations with that person. I'm afraid that in the entire Yingtian City, he is the only one who can talk to that master. ”

Hearing this answer, Huoyun Old Dao and Void Phase Master could only shake their heads helplessly. At this moment, the main gate of the main hall of Qin Tianjian was kicked open. Immediately afterwards, a burly old man wearing a dragon robe and a shoehorn face broke in menacingly. As he rushed inside, he yelled:

"Who is it! Who robbed the widow's treasures! Qin He! Qin He! Quickly check the widow, Lao Tzu wants to destroy him!"

Seeing that the burly old man rushed to the front, Qin He and a monk bowed together and saluted:

"The minister (poor road, poor monk) has seen Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand impatiently:

"That's it, these etiquettes are waived. I just want to know, who is so bold as to dare to take the treasure in Yingtianfu?"

Hearing the emperor's inquiry, the man in the feather coat bowed down and replied:

"Back to Your Majesty, the person who grabbed the treasure is probably related to the Yipintang of the Western Regions. ”

"Ippintang? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down with a big grin, and listened to Qin He's recounting of how the French Daoists escorted the tributes into Beijing and how they were attacked along the way. After clarifying the reason for the matter a little, His Majesty the Emperor, whose face was already very long, asked unhappily:

"In that case, I'll send someone to find out what the bottom of the Yipintang is. Dare to make waves under my nose, no matter what kind of first-grade hall and second-grade hall he is, all of them will send troops to suppress me!" After a little relief, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask angrily: "What about the three tributes?

"This ......" The man in the feather coat looked embarrassed and replied respectfully: "The treasure was seized by thieves, and at present, the ...... is still being investigated."

"Still investigating!" Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the armrest, "Qin Sacrifice Wine, you are the dignified Qintian Supervisor, is this what you do! The thief grabs the treasure in broad daylight in Yingtianfu, you, a master of the first-grade Celestial Realm, can't even catch people, what does the court raise you for!"

The man in the feathered coat leaned down respectfully, not daring to look directly at the angry king. And the face of a monk on the side was even more exciting, Zhu Yuanzhang clearly referred to Sang scolding Huai's words, how could the two old and refined characters not hear it. But after all, this person in front of him is the emperor, and he is the tribute lord of this world, even if he has two masters of the Heavenly Phenomena Realm cultivation, he has no choice but to succumb to this authority.

Zhu Yuanzhang also seemed to feel a little speechless, and after softening his tone, he said in a deep voice:

"Fang Cai's words are a bit heavier, but you must know that I am waiting for that treasure to save lives. What is the dragon and the white snake and the sword pill of the sword fairy, I am not rare. What I want is that ginseng fruit, and I want to use that fruit to renew Wei'er's life......" As he spoke, the old man, who was still menacing, suddenly choked up: "Wei'er is only sixteen years old, and she still has a good life waiting for her to enjoy." Among all my children, only she and Baohui are the most satisfied, so she can't die!

The old man, who had recovered from his grief, suddenly had a hideous face, and commanded in a grim tone:

"Qin He, I ordered you to investigate! Investigate by unscrupulous means! Jinyi Wei and the six doors are all at your disposal! Even if you dig three feet into Ying Tianfu, you must find out that ginseng fruit!"

The man in the feather coat had a heavy face, bowed down and said:

"The minister will live up to His Majesty's trust, but ......"

"What's the only thing?

"It's just that if Your Majesty wants to find the lost tribute, I'm afraid you will have to ask Xi Zhenren to go out of the customs and assist Weichen one or two. ”

"Oh, does this have anything to do with Xi Zhenren?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked puzzled.

"It's not directly related, it's just that some things need to be solved by Xi Zhenren. ”

After a moment of silence, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice:

"Okay, go back and ask Xi Zhenren to come out of the customs in person. But the ugly thing is that I only give you seven days, and after seven days, I must give me a satisfactory result, you know!"

"The minister obeys the order...... hesitated for a moment, and the man in the feather coat asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, Duan Qianhu, who was in charge of escorting the tribute, was seriously injured by the thieves and is now resting in the Qintian Prison, I wonder if Your Majesty wants to summon you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang got up slowly and said in a cold tone:

"What did you see him do? a slave who is not doing good things, does he still have the face to come back alive!"

Hearing this, Qin He's face changed slightly, and then he bowed down and replied:

"I know. ”

The old man in the yellow robe walked up to the Huoyun Dao and the Master of the Void Phase, changed his kind expression and whispered:

"The cold poison in Wei'er's body has flare up again, and I asked the two of you to enter the palace with me and suppress it for Wei'er. ”

Hearing the emperor's order, the monks exchanged glances and then walked in the direction of the palace with the team.

After everyone left Qin Tianjian, Qin He returned to the study alone. He picked up a shabby hairpin from the bookshelf, and after studying it carefully for a long time, he murmured as if in a dream:

"Little princess, don't worry, in this life, even if Qin He fights for his life, he will definitely protect you. ”

The door of the study closed gently, and in the deserted Qintian Prison, there was a sudden burst of crane chirping......
