In the city of Youzhou in April, there is no vibrant weather, no flowers, no birds and flowers. Some have only gray skies, and dark, damp ground. Just now, Ye Qingzhi traveled for about ten days to the front of Youzhou City, and looked at the city gate was majestic and majestic, because there was no sunlight all year round, and the moss on the city wall was dead. The rest was a dark and greasy stuff that stenched. Ye Qingzhi frowned slightly, turned over and dismounted.

"Qingzhi, I think this Youzhou City is a little weird, wait for me to go in first to explore the way, and you will come in later!" Liang Le on the side also dismounted, walked to Ye Qingzhi's side, looked at Ye Qingzhi and said softly. This Liang Le is now the Dali Temple Si Zhi, but also an outstanding young talent, after the imperial examination, he had the opportunity to get a better position, but he just liked to go to Dali Temple, this person is not only quick and has a good cultivation, this is Yu Wenhua, who was still in the position of Dali Temple at that time, valued, from the lowest prison to today, it can be regarded as a steady progress.

Ye Qingzhi didn't look back, gently took off the luggage on the horse and put it on her back, then shook her head and said, "Brother Liang, it's okay, I'll go in with you." We're here to investigate the case this time, so we don't have to worry so much!" After saying that, the two of them took the prisoner and walked towards the city gate, and when they entered the gate, the two city guards looked at a few people listlessly, and then let them go. Continue to yawn against the wall.

After entering the city, Ye Qingzhi found that this Youzhou City was different from any place he had been to before, there were too few people, and it was still noon at this time, and there were not many people on the streets, and everyone was like a withered face. There is weakness. This does not arouse the curiosity of others. Seeing someone coming in, the pedestrians on the road glanced at it and left in a hurry.

Since a few people arrived in Youzhou, they naturally had to go to the county lieutenant of Youzhou first, a few people walked in the huge city, and the echo of the horses stepping on the ground and making a 'Tata' could be heard from not far away, which showed how quiet this city was. Then pick up the drum stick on the Dengwen drum and hit it a few times, after a long time, the door was slightly opened a thin slit, there is a person in the crack of the door to look at the crowd carefully, found that this pedestrian is wearing Dali Temple civilian clothes after the door, only to open the door, to the crowd to signal to let them come in quickly.

After entering the door, the little guy closed the door directly, and then led everyone to the inner hall, after passing through the alley, he walked to a meeting room, only to see a man dressed as a county lieutenant talking to a master here, and when he saw Ye Qingzhi and them coming, he ended the conversation. Salute to the multitude. "My lords of Dali Temple, I have been running all the way, and I have lost sight of the distance! I don't know why a few people are here?" the county lieutenant said to everyone, and the lord on one side bowed to everyone and then retreated.

"My lord, I don't know what happened in this Youzhou City, how can there be so few people?" Liang Le directly expressed his confusion in his heart to the county lieutenant, but did not answer the county lieutenant's question.

The county lieutenant shook his head and said, "My lord doesn't know, this Youzhou City has been rumored to be haunted for a long time, and there are indeed a lot of strange things in the middle, so the people in Youzhou City are scattered, and many small counties are almost empty." Those who remain now are either unbackground or extremely nostalgic. So it's been a long time since I've been a county magistrate to cry out for grievances. ”

"Oh, I see, then I want to ask Lord Xia County, is everything okay in Youzhou now?" Ye Qingzhi asked as she thought about something.

"Of course, there aren't many people in this Youzhou, so naturally there won't be much to do, I don't know what the important thing is for a few Dali Temple adults to come here?" the county lieutenant asked looking at Ye Qingzhi's face.

"We're here for...""We're just passing by, to investigate the situation in Netherworld Mountain!" Liang Le was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ye Qingzhi. Then Ye Qingzhi said.

"In that case, then the lower official will arrange the guest room and prepare wine and food for a few adults to wash the dust!" said the county lieutenant with a smile.

"Don't bother with it, let's just stay for one night, just stay in an inn outside, and there are important things to do, so we will leave first!" After speaking, he turned around and left with Liang Le. After the county lieutenant sent everyone out of the county office, he turned around and locked the door of the county office.

"Qingzhi, why didn't you let me tell the truth just now!" Liang Le said with some puzzlement.

"I feel that this county lieutenant is a little strange, first of all, we all know in Kyoto that it is not peaceful here, and there have been dozens of cases of baby loss cases that have been reported to Dali Temple in the past few years, and this county lieutenant actually said that everything is safe and healthy. There must be something greasy in it, and we have just entered the county office, have you noticed that the Dengwen drum is indeed covered with thick dust, and it looks like no one has played the drum for a long time. What does this mean, if there is an unjust case, I don't want to let the parents and officials in front of me help, isn't this county government tired yet?" Ye Qingzhi analyzed one by one, and it was reasonable. Liang Le listened thoughtfully, and then patted his head. He said, "You're right, we have just entered the palace, so it's not a surprise to startle the snake, there will be great resistance to our next investigation!"

Ye Qingzhi waved his hand and said, "Now we can only take one step at a time, now that we know about the problem of the county lieutenant, we also have some clues about what to do next." Liang Le looked at this beautiful and intelligent woman and smiled at her. His eyes were full of watery tenderness. I still remember that it was the first time he passed by Dali Temple, he originally went to Beijing to catch the exam, he accidentally saw a girl practicing swords in the courtyard of Dali Temple, cardamom was heroic, the long sword in his hand, sweat-soaked hair, and spit pandan. If you miss life, you won't see Ye Qingzhi in the future. It wasn't until I entered Dali Temple that I knew that her name was Ye Qingzhi, 'this heart can be relieved, Qingzhi is in Yuanxiang', to alleviate this heart-filled lovesickness, the only way to see the beautiful woman in Yuanxiang. I don't know where Yuan Xiang is, but the beautiful woman is right in front of him.

Ye Qingzhi saw Liang Le staring at his face in a daze, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes and said, "Brother Liang, what's wrong with you?

When they were about to look for the inn, they passed by a square, where there were many people, densely listening to what a person in the middle was saying. After getting closer, Ye Qingzhi saw a person standing on a boulder in the middle, a person in a black robe with a strange mask on his face making a speech.

"The cold winter is coming, the eternal night is coming, the heavens and the earth will change greatly, the rivers, lakes and seas will fall apart, the ghost king will be destroyed by the six realms, hell will come to the world, and purgatory on earth. Living in the darkness, experiencing the eternal karmic fire, the inexhaustible burning torso, the endless erosion of ants, when the time comes, the father and son kill each other, the husband and wife turn against each other, the world will be inhumane only blood and darkness, only by entering my holy religion can we jump out of the five elements, jump out of cause and effect, and become a saint and become a Buddha. After finishing speaking, everyone knelt on the ground and bowed to the person who spoke, and Ye Qingzhi and his party were left standing in the audience. The man in black naturally noticed these people, and then shouted to everyone, "The outsiders who have been transformed by the evil ghosts of the present world are there!"

A group of people stood and looked back at Ye Qingzhi, and when they saw the person wearing the civilian clothes of Dali Temple standing there, they surrounded him with hatred, and they didn't know who shouted "Kill the ghosts of this world, and you will have eternal life in the future!" Then the crowd was in a commotion, regardless of men, women and children, they all rushed over to Ye Qingzhi and his party. Like a beast, baring its sharp fangs.

"Qingzhi, I'll come to the back of the palace!!" Liang Le took a step forward, protecting Ye Qingzhi behind him, and then he was full of energy, and after slashing a circle in front of him with his palms, he pushed forward hard. In an instant, the galloping internal force rushed out towards the front, and dozens of people were directly blown to the ground, but there were many people, Ye Qingzhi and Liang Le turned over and got on their horses, and the two prison men followed, and the horses disappeared into the crowd. Seeing that they had lost their goal, they turned around and went back to find that the man in black had also disappeared.

After running for a few streets, the four stopped in an alley.

"What was that just now?' Demon Sect?" Ye Qingzhi asked, looking at Liang Le because he rarely went out.

Liang Le is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and he also has some doubts at this time. "It stands to reason that this should be a demon cult, but I have never seen a demon cult dare to spread their teachings in such broad daylight in the town, and the demon cult I have come into contact with generally does not use demagogic moves, and these ordinary people don't want to ask for it even if they give it to them. This place is really spooky!"

"Do you want to stay in the hotel, a few guest officers?" a pale man appeared at the back door of a small alley where everyone was. looked at everyone with a smile on his face, and his expression was indescribably weird.

A few people were startled by the sudden appearance, and after a few people looked at each other, "Stay in the hotel!"

"Come with me!" Rifle led the horses to the stable!" The man opened the back door and ushered the men in. After entering, Ye Qingzhi found that this place was really a good inn, the front door was facing the street, and there were very few outsiders in Youzhou at that time, so the business was bleak. There are only a few rooms in the whole inn, Ye Qingzhi and his party felt hungry and asked the boss for a few stir-fried dishes, and when they walked to the hall, they found that there were already two people eating here, and it seemed that they were also outsiders. One of the women was dressed in a lilac robe and held a long sword. The other is a big man, five big and three thick, and his arms are estimated to be as thick as Ye Qingzhi's thighs. The two were still communicating at first, but after seeing Ye Qingzhi come in, they stopped talking and looked at Ye Qingzhi and his party curiously.
