Chapter 985 Layout
Dusk was gloomy.
Wanning County, with its undercurrents, was peaceful.
Perhaps because Wanning County had such a strong and powerful commander to support it, even outsiders did not want to fight with the commander of Wanning County.
So many frauds and robberies were turned into deals that both parties were willing to do under his care.
A young man in a black robe stood outside the gate of the courtyard.
A man and a woman followed.
The man was very strong, like a bear.
The woman was graceful and beautiful.
"Is this the place?" The young man stared at the courtyard.
He said in a cold voice: "This snake spirit has been running away for so long, and it plunged into the forbidden land, making it easy for us to find it. She is really powerful, coming all the way from the outside of the pass to the most powerful place in the capital."
"It's a pity that she still can't escape my pursuit."
"Long Qi, what are you waiting for? Let's break this place and catch her!" The bear-like tough guy cursed.
"She's gone."
The black-robed youth called Long Qi had a gloomy face.
"What?!"
Xiong Sheng was furious and roared: "She has been running for so long that she has already digested the Dragon Spirit Holy Medicine. If we can't catch up with her, we may not even be able to drink the soup. This damn bitch, if I catch her, I will make her live a life worse than death!"
Long Qi raised his hand and said: "Be patient."
"The Dragon Spirit Holy Medicine has not been refined by a great alchemist. Swallowing it whole will damage your lungs."
"Didn't you hear what Brother Long said?" The woman rang the bell on her wrist and said lightly: "She was injured by us. She may not even recover from her injuries after breaking into the forbidden land, let alone concealing her own breath. As long as we follow her breath, we will definitely find her."
"The damn forbidden land, even flying can't be performed. It takes several months to move between the two places. It takes several years to find someone."
Xiong Sheng put away his anger and stopped cursing.
But he still complained about the forbidden land of the gods, and seemed not to want to come here at all.
Long Qi glanced at Xiong Sheng, who was still angry.
He said in a relaxed tone: "The forbidden land of the gods is controlled by the Taoist Shangqing. If a cultivator wants to come in, he has to pay a large sum of money. We followed Bu Canghua to break into this place, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."
"In the past few years, we have gained opportunities of all sizes."
"We should have left quietly."
"After all, we still have a grudge in our hearts."
Dongdong.
The man in the yard opened the door in confusion.
He didn't look surprised when he saw the three people outside the door.
He had seen many outsiders like this, but there were no ancestral items in his family, so he was wary of outsiders and asked: "What's the matter?"
"I want to find out where the woman who used to live here went?" Long Qi asked with a smile, and he really looked like a gentleman who was kind to others.
"Oh, you mean Marshal Shou's wife."
The man suddenly realized, but frowned again: "Who are you?"
"We are old acquaintances."
The man was really surprised when he heard it, and then he looked carefully, and then he smiled and said: "Oh, I recognized the wrong person. I thought you were outsiders, but you were Marshal Shou's relatives. It's really that your clothes and appearance are too similar to those outsiders."
"Marshal Shou and his wife moved away... half a month ago."
"They said they moved to Xishan."
"This weather..." The man looked at the sky. At this late hour, Marshal Shou must not be in the government office. It's better to go back to his residence in Xishan. He said: "You probably won't be able to find Marshal Shou if you go to the county office now. Why don't you go directly to Xishan to look for him."
"Xishan?"
The three looked at each other.
"Yes, Xishan."
"It's very rich. It's said that the temple hall was repaired. It's easy to recognize."
The three people rushed to Xishan with a direction.
The temple is surrounded by mountains and water, and it encloses half of the West Mountain. Its size alone is enough to stop people.
Long Qi watched for a long time on the hillside.
He looked at the warriors in green clothes coming in and out of the gate.
He squinted and shook his head and said, "It's not right. Shou He is the head of the county government, and he is also a first-class warrior with magic weapons."
"Although we have the means to control them, there are many other warriors in this temple."
At dusk, there were two or three convoys in and out.
According to calculations, there are at least three to five hundred people living in this temple.
Ordinary people are not a threat to them, but they have to guard against the large number of third-rate and second-rate warriors, not to mention the first-rate warriors sitting in it.
The woman was surprised and said, "They may not make a move."
"We can't bet."
Mr. Long shook his head and pondered, saying, "Since she is devoted to that useless Shou He, as long as we can contact Shou He, we can tell him the origin of Bu Canghua. Once a man knows that his wife is a demon, I think he will think about it carefully."
"We can ask our senior brothers to make a move. I heard that our senior brothers and sisters have also come to the forbidden land of the gods." Xiong Sheng lowered his voice.
The woman scolded, "Are you crazy?"
"Even if the senior brothers and sisters are willing to make a move, will we still have a share of the holy medicine at that time?"
"What about us now?"
"Don't worry."
...
The next day.
Shou He, who was riding on the official road, grabbed the reins.
He stared quietly at the man who crossed the official road.
The man was dressed as a Taoist priest, with a long banner hanging high in his right hand and a bell in his left hand. When he walked past the Linjiao horse, he moved his nose and looked over in surprise.
Surprised and said: "Master, you have a strong evil spirit on you. Is there anything wrong recently?"
Shou He immediately thought of his wife at home. The old immortal said so at that time.
No matter what the wife's origin is, she is his wife after all.
Shou He rode his horse and was about to leave.
The Taoist sighed, held a long banner and crossed the official road, heading towards the bamboo forest.
When the Taoist passed by, Shou He felt that his body was stabbed, like a steel needle. He stared at the other's back and shouted loudly: "Where are you going, Taoist?"
"River bank creek mouth."
"What are you going to do?"
The Taoist did not answer him but continued walking.
Shou He, who was about to dismount, found that there was no trace of the Taoist, so he quickly patted the Linjiao horse and sent it back to the county government.
The old horse knows the way, it will go back by itself, and he followed the direction where the Taoist left. He felt a murderous aura from the Taoist.
The murderous aura is like a needle.
The stabbing person rises.
To be able to cultivate such a murderous aura, the other party must be a master.
As the king of Wanning County, he did not want such a person to appear, but since the other party came, he could not ignore it.
No matter who the other party wanted to kill or who killed him, he would stop him.
Passing through the bamboo forest path, he came to a teahouse under the hill.
The Taoist sat down and asked for a cup of tea.
After a while, a dark-skinned man with a big bag on his back and dressed in tight clothes stood opposite and said with a smile: "Master, is there no one here?"
"No one."
The young Taoist nodded slightly.
"Great."
The dark-skinned man sat down and shouted: "Shopkeeper, a pot of tea."
"But I advise you to leave early." The Taoist smiled, and did not feel any new resentment because of the official's familiarity. Instead, he really advised him not to get involved in some bizarre things because of his curiosity, which may lead to very serious consequences.
"Oh."
Shou He chuckled.
He was too familiar with such conversations.
Every time he handled a case, someone would say this.
Just like when he investigated the blood jade gourd some time ago, Zhao Qingyi said this without knowing him. It seems that this Taoist is also a good person.
"Or you, the officer, have actually been involved in it for a long time."
"I would like to hear the details."
"You have lived in the third house in Taohua Lane, Wanning County for a long time, right?"
"Yes."
"How many people are there in your family?"
"Two."
"That's right."
"I once followed it to track it down. Since you have lived there, either you are a monster, or your wife is a monster."
There was no expected slamming of the table.
There was no angry scolding.
There was only silence and indifference.
The dark man said calmly, "So what?"
The Taoist's eyes flashed with strange colors, and he said calmly, "Compared to the police who have checked the files of the county government, even if there is no police, they are still alert. There are always children missing. Didn't the police suspect where they went?"
"Don't forget, children are a great tonic for monsters."
"Does the Taoist mean that the children were eaten by monsters?"
"That's right."
Shou He was furious, but he still suppressed his anger.
He tried to be calm and said, "I already know where the children went."
"Since people can be divided into good and bad, monsters can also be good and bad, not to mention that monsters are also a kind of cultivators, and they are no longer as absurd as they were in the wilderness."
"Wulian Tianzun."
"It seems that Madam Zun has told the police a lot of things."
Disappointment flashed in the Taoist's eyes.
He really didn't expect this.
I didn't expect Bu Canghua to be so bold to expose his origins.
There are really fools who are willing to believe it.
"Why waste your time talking to him!" The tall monk who was hiding in the back hall came out with a sneer.
He wiped the blood off his hands: "I have checked all around, no one is ambushing, and I have killed all those ants in the teahouse. No one can disturb us from doing our work."
"Catch him, and we will not worry about forcing Bu Zanghua out."
"If Bu Zanghua does not move, chop off his head and send it over so that she can see clearly."
"What is this move called?"
"Yes."
"Stir up the grass and startle the snake."
Shou He's face changed drastically.
"Are you afraid now?"
"Too late!"
Xiong Sheng laughed loudly.
Shou He stared at Xiong Sheng and said coldly: "Old Su's family runs the teahouse honestly, but they don't want to suffer from your murderous hands."
When he thought that it was because of him and his wife that the teahouse family was destroyed.
Shou He was immediately furious.
He grabbed the Blood God Halberd behind him.
The veins twisted, and he said sternly: "You really deserve to die!"
Swish.
The halberd exploded, slashing out a sharp blood-red breath.
Bang.
The monk as tall as a bear resisted it.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.
He laughed and said, "What's wrong with killing a few ants? They are just grass in the mud. I am afraid of dirtying my boots and stepping on them to walk through the mud. It's nothing unusual."
"I'm not angry that my opportunity was taken away."
"Why are you angry? What qualifications do you have to be angry?"
"Ants!"
