Chapter 49: Tailgating

Ye Qingzhi found a place to sit down, and was also looking at the two people, the woman was handsome, and the man was burly. The relationship between the two is not like that of a couple, and if it is said that they are here to play, then it is obviously impossible to choose this place. Unable to figure out this problem, the hunger in her stomach made her not have the heart to think about these problems, so she waited for the boss to serve the food and start eating.

In the county government of Youzhou City, the county lieutenant said to the lord Bo with some nervousness, "What should I do if the court is here!" The lord Bo is not like an ordinary person, at this time he is sitting on the main seat, and the county lieutenant is standing on the side and said respectfully.

"The court is here, and I'm not blind, how can I not know, since I have come, I have to let them leave satisfied, this matter is very simple, we must not let them involve the Holy Sect, since they want an answer, we will give an answer!" It's not that they didn't want to keep these people, but in recent years, the imperial court has intervened more and more in the rivers and lakes, making the people in the rivers and lakes know more about the secrets in the imperial court. Take the registration of various sects, several famous and decent sects are collectively silenced, and you can know what kind of behemoth this court is. We can't fight it now, at least not for the time being.

"In that case, then let it all be sent by the Holy Envoy!" said the county lieutenant respectfully.

"By the way, Youzhou Mu will come back in the near future, I have to deal with this matter in front of me, if there is anything in the future, you can find him directly, he can contact the Holy Sect!" After the master Bo finished speaking, he pushed open the door and disappeared.

Inside the inn, one room.

"Yi Yao, did you say that the group just now belonged to the imperial court?" said a rugged man to the woman in light purple.

"I don't think it's far from ten, the clothes that the girl is wearing are the civilian clothes of Dali Temple, it seems that they came to this Youzhou to do something, but I don't know what the purpose of their coming here is, whether it conflicts with us. This woman is Xun Yiyao, talking to the man thoughtfully at this time.

"When will the hall master come over?" the man continued.

"The hall master is already on the way, it seems that he has been delayed by something, he asked us to inquire about the news first, and the hall master has said that it is best to blend into the 'ghost gate' to take a look, this gang is very mysterious, and even the disciples in his own sect don't know where their headquarters are, let alone outsiders. Hu Yanguang this time we will take the lead to see if we can infiltrate this organization, which will be very helpful to us in the future, and we will send a letter to the hall master from Dali Temple, so that he can be prepared. Xun Yiyao said.

That man was Hu Yanguang, one of the elites of the White Tiger Hall. After hearing Xun Yiyao say this, he nodded and walked out, and released the carrier pigeon prepared in advance, with the news that he had found out here in the past few days.

The night in Youzhou City entered earlier than other places, and there was no starlight in the gray night sky, and the silent night was like a dormant beast, lurking in the darkness. After Xun Yiyao and Hu Yanguang had dinner, they walked out of the inn. Youzhou City, where there is no one during the day, let alone at night, you can't even see a ghost on the road, in fact, there were shops in Youzhou City that opened at night in the past, and there were still cabaret brothels, but there was really no one to take care of them, and then they moved to other places.

After Xun Yiyao and the others went out, they walked to a courtyard not far away and walked around the alley. Finally, they stopped in front of a big gate with 'Chen Mansion' written on it, and after the two glanced at each other, they jumped and climbed over the wall to enter. In the shadow of the alley not far from the 'Chen Mansion', two figures came out, a man and a woman. It was Ye Qingzhi and the others.

"Qingzhi, why are you following these two people?" Liang Le asked with some puzzlement, "I just think these two people are very suspicious and acting sneaky." Now I see that it's really true! Let's go in and have a look," he walked to the door of the Chen Mansion and climbed over the wall to enter.

After entering, I found that this courtyard was actually a little dilapidated, and it had been uninhabited for a long time, but in a huge hall in the middle of the courtyard, it was brightly lit, and the two people who had just entered had disappeared, Ye Qingzhi shook the sword in his hand, and felt that the atmosphere was a little weird. But now that it's all here, there's no turning back. The cat leaned over and slowly touched the door of the hall through the shadows in the hallway.

I saw dozens of people wearing black robes, kneeling on the ground, chanting words in their mouths. The man in black at the head is the man in black who appeared in the square today. Something was being said loudly at this time. At the back of the line, Ye Qingzhi saw the two people before, and at this time, the two were wearing black robes, dancing with everyone. In the end, I didn't know that the man in black made a cup of tea for everyone, and finally the man in black raised his glass, and everyone drank it all. The last two people also hesitated for a moment, and then drank it all as everyone drank. The next thing is that some masked people come out from behind, playing and singing with various musical instruments. Everyone danced to the sound of music, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.

Ye Qingzhi and the others were fascinated, this was the first time the two of them had seen such a wonderful thing, and they wanted to see it real and get closer. Liang Le accidentally kicked a rotten flower pot on the side, and then let out a bang. The pot shattered, and the music inside stopped. When the man in black saw that it was the two people in the daytime, he screamed, and the believers rushed out and surrounded them. One of the men with red cheeks picked up the stone at his feet and shouted, "Demon in the world, everyone stoned him to death!!" Everyone picked up stones and threw them at Ye Qingzhi and the others.

Ye Qingzhi took out the blue and white sword and swept it away at the stones in the sky, only to see a sword flash and stones in the air fell to the ground. With a soft shout of "Let's go!!", he jumped out of the encirclement, and a few movements disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Holy Messenger. Do you want to chase after you?" asked a masked man as he appeared behind the man in black.

"The people of the Dali Temple of the Imperial Court, let him go! The efficiency of the three halls is too slow, and I am afraid that they will be discovered after a long time!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and left. Everyone dispersed because of the confusion, but when they left, everyone's faces were full of disappointment. Two of them walked at the end, looking a little dazed, and their bodies were swaying. And when they were all scattered and went home, the two men were gone. No one knew when they left, or where they went.

After Ye Qingzhi returned to the inn, she also had some lingering feelings about what happened before, this cult was too evil, and she didn't know what was the use of bewitching the hearts of these people, when they just entered the inn door, they found that the lights were already dimmed. When I pushed the door in, I found an oil lamp floating in the darkness, and on it was a miserable white human face. Startled by this sudden scene, Ye Qingzhi's heart jumped suddenly, and she was about to swing away with her sword. At this time, the miserable white face let out a scream, and when she heard the familiar voice, Ye Qingzhi realized that this person turned out to be the owner of this inn.

"Oh, where are you going at night, you came back so late, you want to scare me to death!" complained the innkeeper after a shrill cry.

"I think it's your old man, why are you pretending to be a ghost here to scare me!" Ye Qingzhi said angrily.

"Where did you just go?" said the innkeeper, babbling a little nervously.

"Let's go... Why do you want to tell you!" Ye Qingzhi was still a little angry and said.

"If you don't say it, I know, you must have gone to that cult gathering place!" the boss said in a low voice.

Liang Le glanced at Ye Qingzhi and said, "Old man, do you know what this cult is all about?" Then he found a chair and sat down, and slowly said, "This is a long story, Youzhou was not like this a long time ago, and it was also crowded with people at that time, and it was extremely lively. At that time, my inn was the best in Youzhou, and there was an endless stream of guests. At that time, it was my wife and grandfather who opened this shop, and then there was a demon sect in this place, called 'Ancestral Demon Gate' was the most powerful demon sect at that time, and a powerful character in it used the entire Youzhou City as a tool in refining, for seven days and seven nights, a full third of the hundreds of thousands of people in Youzhou City died, and it was really purgatory on earth. Later, this demon sect was destroyed by the righteous path, and Youzhou City became this ghost. There is no daylight, and there is the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling in the middle of the night, and it is said that the ghosts of the people who died at that time are not gone, so there are not many people in this place later, and they are scattered. If I hadn't been able to let go of the inheritance left by my ancestors, I would have left a long time ago!!" The boss seemed to have opened his heart and poured out all his thoughts over the years to the two of them.

"That old man knows what that cult is all about!" Ye Qingzhi was still a little worried about the cult just now.

"This cult is just to deceive people's minds and deceive people out of money, and it is not a great evil. A trace of concern flashed in the old man's eyes and he spoke.

"I see, old man, do you know about a case that happened in Youzhou recently, and we are here to investigate this case," Ye Qingzhi asked when she saw that the old man knew a lot about this place.

"I'm sure you're talking about the loss of a baby! It's not uncommon in this place, but no culprits have been caught, and in recent years there have been a lot fewer of them. I don't know who the culprit is!" After finishing speaking, the boss yawned and said, "It's useless to be old, you will be sleepy when you sit for a long time, and the old man will go to sleep first, you two are free, but don't go outside, the evil gate of Youzhou City at night is ruthless!" After finishing speaking, he walked to the second floor.

Ye Qingzhi was very worried, so she said goodbye to Liang Le and went back to the room. Ever since she came to this place, she had felt weird, but she couldn't tell where there was discord.
