On the streets that have been put under martial law, there is no other sound than the sounds of armored soldiers.
There was also no sound coming from the bullock cart, it was extremely quiet.
"Sir, what should I do?" The soldier who shouted took two steps back and asked in a low voice to the middle-aged Baihu who was standing in front of the team and watching coldly.
"Kill!" Baihu ordered, waving his hand down coldly.
The armored soldiers surrounding the bullock cart were well-trained. The four of them couldn't help but flash their swords and stabbed into the bullock cart from different angles.
The swords of the armored soldiers are all slightly narrow in blade, but long and sharp. Four knives pierce at the same time. If someone is inside, there is no way to avoid it and they will definitely die.
But after pulling it out suddenly, there was no blood on the blades of the four knives.
Baihu's expression changed: "No one? Open the car curtain!"
Immediately, a soldier came forward and opened the hanging curtain of the carriage. It was already empty inside, not to mention that there was no "person" hidden, not even a shadow.
The "people" inside actually ran away? !
When did you escape? Although he took a shortcut, someone continued to stare at him without giving him any space.
They didn't know that what they were arresting was a big demon. The hundreds of households and the armored soldiers who came over all looked puzzled, because this thing was so weird that it really didn't make sense.
"Tell me! Did you stop the car on the way?" Baihu walked up to the rickshaw driver who was collapsed and shivering on the ground and asked coldly.
The driver's teeth were chattering, and under the murderous intent of Baihu, he finally managed to speak clearly: "Yes... yes... no, no, he didn't stop, I didn't hear him, he got off the car!"
You would be a fool if you didn't know that you were involved in a terrible incident at this time.
Although, in this situation, even if Mr. Zhou who was riding in the carriage was caught, he would not be able to escape the fate of being interrogated. But if he ran away now, his fate would be even worse. The coachman was really scared now.
When Baihu heard this answer, he immediately opened his eyes and said coldly: "It seems that you are not going to tell the truth?"
The clerk from the bookstore who had been following this bullock cart came over and said, "Sir, he is not lying. The younger one has been following this bullock cart. It is true that he did not stop in the middle and no one got off."
"That's strange. Can people fly out of thin air?" Baihu sneered.
"Humans can't, but what about non-human beings?" At this time, a voice intervened, speaking from a Taoist priest.
"Taoist Priest Qingling."
Baihu recognized this person and had cooperated with Qing Ling in traveling around the capital before. He also knew that although he was not from the Yin Guan sect, he was from the same sect as the Taoist priest Huo Wuyong in the palace. Unlike the Yin Guan sect, which sent several Taoist priests, Huo Wuyong was a disciple. The sect only sent this one. Because of Huo Wuyou's face, Baihu treated this unknown Taoist very politely.
The Taoist nodded casually, walked to the cart, and suddenly leaned over, sniffing it inside and out like a dog.
This scene was quite funny, but no one present laughed.
The strange scene just now gave them a vague guess. After all, the existence of monsters has never been hidden from the government.
And the Taoist's "efforts" were not in vain. After a moment, something he was holding in his hand suddenly lit up.
The Taoist stared at this object, turned around and said to Baihu and Jiabing: "Follow me, he can't escape far!"
Qingyuan Temple
The mountain gate, which had been closed for several days, was quiet and peaceful. Benxuan was sitting in his room, looking at the green in front of the window in silence.
The half-open window was slightly swayed by the breeze, and his heart was actually not at peace.
"Is something going to happen?" This faint uneasiness and heart palpitations made Benxuan unable to sit still and stood up.
"Forget it, let's burn some incense for Mr. Lin." He sighed in a low voice, as if there was a voice telling him that if he didn't do this now, he might not be able to do anything for his old friend for a long time.
Thinking of this, Benxuan took a small box of incense from the shelf and went to the small spiritual pagoda. He arrived slowly, lit a stick of incense and inserted it. Before he could pray silently, he heard a "boom" and the door suddenly opened. After being blasted away, armored soldiers poured in like a tide, and the first hundred households shouted sternly: "Search, no clues can be missed!"
Benxuan recognized that the official uniform Baihu was wearing belonged to the Imperial City Division, and his heart tightened. He walked over with a gentle smile, clasped his hands and said, "My lord, I don't know what's going on..."
As soon as he asked, there was a "pop" sound, and the slap on the face was so hard that Benxuan was stunned.
As a well-known person in the capital, although he does not belong to the privileged class, the people he interacts with are quite good. Thousands of households in the Imperial City Division are all polite when they see him, but a hundred households actually raise their hands and slap him?
When Baihu hit him, Benxuan could actually dodge it, and it was even easier to fight back with his martial arts. However, due to his status, even if he saw the slap clearly in advance, he could only take it forcefully. There must be no resistance.
If you resist, your nature will immediately change.
The originally handsome face quickly became red and swollen, showing how much effort Baihu had exerted.
"You don't know what you have committed? Ha! You colluded with the big demon. What crime do you deserve, and you don't know?" Baihu sneered.
"The young monk really doesn't know." Bianxuan was not angry and looked at Baihu calmly.
Wearing the skin of a hundred households, it is indeed impossible to fight in person, but not to mention the Brahma Sect, even Bianxuan himself has enough power to kill these hundreds of households.
Who can’t find fault?
Just as he finished speaking, not far away, there was a bang and fire broke out.
I saw a surge of demonic energy, which could be clearly seen with the naked eye. The black energy filled the air, which was really scary.
Seeing this scene, Benxuan could no longer say anything he wanted to say in defense, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"The monster is indeed hiding in Qingyuan Temple!" Seeing this, Baihu immediately ordered: "Take down this thief monk Benxuan!"
Since the great demon is really in Qingyuan Temple, none of the monks here can escape.
It's okay to be involved in other things. If you are involved in rebellion and collusion with the great demon, it is almost impossible to survive.
Si Baihu in the Imperial City felt relieved and no longer had any scruples. At the same time, he was puzzled. Qingyuan Temple knew how serious a crime it was to collude with the big demon to enter the capital, so why was he still so bold?
Although Benxuan didn't know what the hundred households were thinking, he could guess it. He smiled bitterly and was tied up in silence without any resistance.
The place where the fire broke out was the location of the Jushi Garden. When the Jia soldiers came to search the Benxuan courtyard, a group of people arrived, and as a result, a large bird rose into the sky from the fire.
"Fire arrows!" someone ordered.
The armored soldier drew his bow and let go of the arrow, but at this moment, before the arrow could reach the target, with a bang, the fire seemed to have eyes and rapidly expanded in all directions.
"Retreat! Retreat!" Following the fierce shouting, a fire mercilessly devoured the armored soldier at the front. The armored soldier screamed. The fire seemed to penetrate directly into the flesh. When the fire slowed down a little, more than 20 bodies were seen. The body was lying in a mess, still intact on the outside, but burnt inside, completely unlivable.
"If you touch this fire, you will die!"
The armored soldiers who were lucky enough to escape were in a miserable state. Some of them gritted their teeth with hatred as they watched their close colleagues die in the fire in an instant. Some even turned pale because of the power.
"This is the capital! It can't escape far. The more it resists, the more it will suffer backlash!" Hundreds of households shouted knowing that the capital was frightening and suppressing the big demon.
Some even shouted: "It has killed so many of our brothers, we must not let it escape! A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, kill it, and promotion and fortune are just around the corner!"
The two men shouted loudly in tandem, which made the somewhat low morale rise again. Just hearing the jingling of armor and armor, the armored soldiers chased after them.
