Pawn Crossing the River
Chapter 88 The picture shows the dagger (4)
After the dharma image disappeared, the green snake that restrained Xiang Zicheng also turned into little streams of light and completely disappeared.
Wang Zicheng looked at Qi Xuansu, a little surprised and uncertain.
When he came here, he saw this person entangled with Bai Yongguan, and in the end it was this person who gave Bai Yongguan a fatal blow, which showed that he was not an ordinary person.
Qi Xuansu put away the "Dragon Gun", took out his own ultimatum, and took the initiative to identify himself: "Qi Xuansu, deacon of Tiangang Hall."
Wang Zicheng breathed a sigh of relief and took out a token: "Wang Zicheng, envoy of Qingluan Guard Town."
Qi Xuansu didn't show any panic because he had killed Qingluan Guard. He said as usual: "Thank you Wang Zhenfu for saving me. Xuansu is very grateful."
Wang Zicheng waved his hand: "Rescuing each other is out of the question, we should join hands to fight against the enemy. By the way, shouldn't the Taoist sect's internal Beichen Hall take the lead in arresting such traitors? How come the external Tiangang Hall does it for us?" "
Qi Xuansu roughly told the story, from accidentally breaking into the demon in the ancient temple to discovering that Bai Yongguan was cooking and killing his disciples.
After hearing this, Wang Zicheng was speechless for a long time.
Qi Xuansu asked again: "How come Wang Zhenfu appears here?"
Wang Zicheng did not hide anything, and told the story of how he traveled incognito, capsized his boat on the river, and then intercepted and killed him on the shore.
Qi Xuansu never expected that this group of monsters would be so creative. When he thought of the "container" in Bai Yongguan's words, an answer was ready to come out.
Believers of the ancient immortals will hold a "god descending" ceremony here.
The so-called "divine descent", Zhang Yuelu once mentioned, is about letting an external incarnation of the ancient immortal descend to the human world. After all, the human world is actually a huge cage for the ancient immortal, so many of the ancient immortal's actions must be restricted. I have to use this kind of trick to do things that I want to do but can't do or have to do in person.
Qi Xuansu also described the scene in which Zhang Yuelu divined with the "Ziwei Dou Shu": "There are seven people in total, two have shown up now, and there are five left, namely: monk, gentry, scholar, soap official, and mysterious person. ”
Wang Zicheng said with a solemn expression: "The old man wearing the clothes of a soap official... I'm afraid that Master Zhang who went to the local Baihu Office will be in trouble."
Qi Xuansu asked: "Wang Zhenfu thinks there are demons lurking in the hundred households?"
"Exactly." Wang Zicheng nodded and said, "I was ambushed midway this time, probably because of this."
Speaking of this, Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered something and hurriedly came to Bai Yongguan's body. After looking around for a while, he took off a string of beads from his wrist and found an unknown meaning in his sleeve pocket. Qi Xuansu put all the jade pendants in his satchel, then pulled out his "Qingyuan" and cut off Bai Yongguan's head.
The prince understood Qi Xuansu's intention when he was established, and took a rough look around the view, but found nothing. Bai Yue had already taken advantage of the chaos to escape and disappeared. The remaining Taoist citizens were ordinary people and should have nothing to do with this matter. Nothing to do.
Qi Xuansu carried Bai Yongguan's head and ran out, followed closely by Wang Zicheng.
When the two came out of Qingbai View, they saw that Li Zhener had not left, but was still standing on the side of the road. When they saw Qi Xuansu holding Bai Yongguan's dead head in his hand, they breathed a long sigh of relief and slumped down. roadside.
Qi Xuansu was worried about Zhang Yuelu's safety, so he ran down the mountain without even looking at her.
Just after Qi Xuansu and Wang Zicheng left, Li Zhener gradually regained consciousness, slowly stood up, and planned to leave this place of right and wrong.
Li Zhener finally looked back at Qingbaiguan, who had lived with him for many years, and murmured: "Bai Yongguan, Lu Yu, you are all dead, you are all dead..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Zhener's body suddenly stiffened, and the tip of a knife was exposed from his chest, and the blood stains dispersed little by little.
Bai Yue, who had taken advantage of the chaos to escape from Qingbai Temple, returned and found himself behind Li Zhen'er at some point.
She slowly pulled out the knife, then stretched out her hand to push it.
Li Zhen'er threw herself forward and fell to the ground, a pool of blood gradually formed under her body, and soon she became silent.
Bai Yue threw away the dagger in his hand, looked back at Qingbai Guan, turned around and ran down the mountain from the other direction.
…
Among hundreds of households.
Zhang Yuelu was still surrounded by many Qingluan guards, but she was not too panicked.
Luo Xiao came to the ruins, opened the ruins with his bare hands, and dug out He Nian.
At this time, He Nian was very miserable. Not to mention the minor wounds on his body, his entire neck was almost broken by Zhang Yuelu. His head could only be tilted, but he still had a breath of life and was not completely dead.
Just as Zhang Yuelu expected, without definite evidence, Luo Xiao would not believe Zhang Yuelu, an outsider, and doubt his subordinates. At this time, Luo Xiao's face was very ugly when he saw He Nian looking like this.
Zhang Yuelu said calmly: "This man was shot in the neck by me, but he did not die immediately. This shows his physical toughness. It is not too much to say that he is at the stage of returning to his true state. How can such a master at the stage of returning to his true nature die? Are you willing to be a small He Shibaihu? How many years have you been doing this? This is what Luo Baihu said personally. This He Shibaihu is an old man who has been in the Baihu Institute for more than ten years. Besides, Luo Baihu, you know this. Do you think Baihu has the cultivation level of returning to his true nature?"
Luo Xiao was speechless when asked by Zhang Yuelu.
At this moment, the Qingluan Guard Qianhu, who had always seemed like an outsider, finally spoke: "Master Zhang."
Zhang Yuelu looked at this person and asked, "Didn't you ask for advice?"
Qingluan Guard Qianhu briefly raised his hand and said: "I am Lin Zhenyuan of Qianhu in Yongzhou Qianhu."
Yongzhou borders Liangzhou, Shuzhou, Qinzhou, and Xizhou. The Daxuan imperial court established the governor's office, the administrative envoys' department, the punishment envoys' department, and the Qianhu Office here, all under the control of the governor of Xiliang. In terms of the territorial division of the Taoist sect, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Kunlun Taoist Prefecture.
Zhang Yuelu said: "It turns out to be Lin Qianhu."
Lin Zhenyuan said: "Master Zhang only relied on He Shibaihu's cultivation level to return to his original state. Isn't it too arbitrary to conclude that He Shibaihu is a demon in a secret society? Even if there is something wrong with He Shibaihu, it should be our fault. Qingluan Guard's Nanzhen Fusi should not be handled by Daomen Tiangangtang Yuezu. "
Zhang Yuelu emphasized his tone slightly: "I said, he was the one who attacked me first."
Lin Zhenyuan said: "Master Zhang's state of cultivation is obvious to all. Even if he tries to reach the stage of returning to his true form, how can he dare to take the initiative to take action against Master Zhang?"
"What if it's a sneak attack?" Zhang Yuelu asked, "Does Lin Qianhu want me to just wait and be killed?"
There are many unwritten rules between the Taoist sect and the court. One of them is that the court has no right to deal with the people of the Taoist sect, and the Taoist sect has no right to deal with the people of the court. If someone from the court commits a crime and falls into the hands of the Taoist sect, the Taoist sect must hand it over to the court for disposal. vice versa.
Although Lin Zhenyuan didn't say it clearly at this time, he was sticking to this rule. Zhang Yuelu also understood that he naturally did not want to be involved in the relationship of "surpassing one's duties."
At this moment, Luo Xiao had already searched He Nian's whole body, and found no beads or other objects that represented his identity. He only found a jade pendant of unknown meaning, with no special words or carvings to resemble Wu Luo. , just an ordinary ring.
Zhang Yuelu's heart sank slightly. He didn't expect that He Nian was so cautious and did not carry the beads of Lingshan Witch Cult with him. You must know that the beads of Lingshan Witch Cult are not just simple tokens, but also contain divine power. They can be used to save lives when necessary. .
Lin Zhenyuan glanced at He Nian, who had passed out, and said slowly: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to say more. Regardless of whether He Nian is guilty or innocent, he should be temporarily detained by Yongzhou Qianhu, and I will keep the matter truthful Report to Nanzhen Fusi, who will investigate whether He Shibaihu is related to the secret association. As for Master Zhang's injury, I will also report it to the commander, who will decide with the master of your hall. Before that, Master Zhang is asked to stay in the Hundred Households, not to move around at will, and not to embarrass us. "
Zhang Yuelu frowned slightly. Judging from her fortune telling results, there were a total of seven demons involved in this matter. Leaving aside the Wu Zhu woman who was seriously injured by her, there were still six people left. He Nian was undoubtedly one of them. one. If you want to find the remaining five people, you must break through He Nian. If you let Qingluan Guard take He Nian away, the clues will be cut off. And she couldn't be left in a hundred households, she had to find out where the demon was hiding as quickly as possible.
However, Zhang Yuelu couldn't just snatch He Nian away with a small number against a large number of people.
Just when Zhang Yuelu was feeling a little hesitant, he suddenly heard a voice saying: "There is no need to report to Nanzhen Fusi. This is exactly why I came here this time."
Lin Zhenyuan and Zhang Yuelu both followed the sound.
The visitors were none other than Wang Zicheng and Qi Xuansu.
Wang Zicheng held up the badge in his hand: "Zicheng, the envoy of Fusi Town in Qingluan Weinan Town, has been ordered to inspect Xizhou, Yongzhou, Liangzhou and other places. If there is any illegal activity, he can be dealt with on camera."
As soon as these words came out, except for Lin Zhenyuan, everyone in the Qingluan Guard changed their expressions.
Outsiders were afraid of Fusi in the North Town, but the people in the Qingluan Guard were even more afraid of Fusi in the South Town, not to mention that he was the envoy of Fusi in the South Town.
Even if Lin Zhenyuan, Qianhu, has the same status as Wang Zicheng in the Qingluan Guard, in terms of official rank, the Zhenfu envoy is from the fourth rank, Qianhu is only the fifth rank, and the Zhenfu envoy is one level higher, especially this When an envoy is responsible for his life, thousands of households still have to respect the envoy on the surface.
After Lin Zhenyuan carefully looked at the waist card in Wang Zicheng's hand, he cupped his hand and said, "Your Majesty, Lin Zhenyuan, has met the governor."
Luo Xiao and the rest of the Qingluan Guards knelt on one knee: "I have seen the Governor."
Zhang Yuelu looked at Qi Xuansu and saw that Qi Xuansu was holding a disheveled human head in his hand, and his face could not be seen clearly.
Zhang Yuelu's heart sank slightly. Could it be that something happened at Qingbai Temple?
At this time, both Wang Zicheng and Qi Xuansu were in a state of embarrassment. Qi Xuansu was a little better, but Wang Zicheng had disheveled hair. If it hadn't been for the token, no one would have thought that this person was the envoy who was entrusted with the fate.
Qi Xuansu introduced Zhang Yuelu to Wang Zicheng, and the two greeted each other again.
Luo Xiao was outspoken and asked directly: "I dare to ask the governor, but what happened on the way here?"
"I was about to say this." Wang Zicheng said loudly, "On my way here, I was intercepted and killed, and all my followers were wiped out. Even I almost died at the hands of these monsters. Lin Qianhu, you are What do you want to say, local chief?”
Lin Zhenyuan's expression changed slightly, and without any excuse, he said solemnly: "This is because the subordinate neglected his duty."
