Outside the wedding room, the old woman and a group of people were listening in the corner, cursing secretly.
On the other side of the island, the "wedding banquet" has also come to an end, and a group of Four Saints have returned to their residences to wait for tomorrow's sacrifice.
As the highest-ranking person in the local area, the leader of the Daze Sect smelled of alcohol and led the rest of the sect's middle and senior leaders back to the sect's inner hall.
"Everyone," the old island owner, who was wearing a green robe and a silver crown on his head, breathed out gently. The slight drunkenness on his body turned into mist and was expelled from his body, and he regained consciousness.
He picked up the tea bowl prepared by his maid and glanced at everyone:
"Now that the Saint's wedding is over and the seating arrangement has been completed, tomorrow will be the critical moment to worship the Saint. How are the preparations in all aspects?"
The old corpse witch smiled and said:
"These things have been arranged a long time ago, and all the necessary items for the ceremony are ready. Tomorrow, we only need to wait for the leader to arrive before the sacrifice can begin."
The dwarf was holding a white flag and sitting beside him gloomily. Hearing this, he wondered:
"Is the leader really coming? Didn't he say before that he won't come? Besides, it's not that the protector is promoted, or that new uncle is promoted. At most, he can only be granted the title of hall leader. That's good enough. The island leader has completed enough. According to It’s not customary.”
Although the Four Holy Sects are "demon sects", their systems are strong and their procedures are complete.
In terms of organizational structure, it is even more generous than the five major factions.
Moreover, because of the incident in Sanhuang County, it is too late for the Four Saints to keep a low profile, and the original plan will not show up.
But there are temporary changes.
The leader of Qianjiao Island said calmly: "The leader is always worried about the wedding of a saint."
The implication:
I didn't want to come at first, but in order to witness Xue Ji's tragic situation after getting married, I came here specially.
This explanation is a bit childish. After all, everyone present knows the status of the "saint" in the church.
The island owner suspected that the leader was too suspicious.
Worried that the Daze Sect would take advantage of the opportunity to control the power of the Four Holy Sects in Lanzhou, they sent a temporary order to come in person.
However, it is not convenient to discuss these ideas publicly.
Just when the island owner was preparing to continue asking for details.
Suddenly, chaotic footsteps rushed quickly outside the hall, and it was the young master holding a folding fan.
"Father..." He looked anxious and called.
The island owner interrupted in a deep voice: "Pay attention to your identity!"
The young master was startled, and then he realized that this was a public occasion, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and clasped his fists:
"Sir, I have something important to report!"
The Corpse Witch and other reborn people looked at each other in confusion, wondering what important matters the Daze Sect had at this juncture.
The island owner had no expression on his face, glanced at his son's expression, felt a little in his heart, put down the tea cup, and said calmly:
"Go to the study and wait for me."
The young master withdrew in response. The island master gave a few simple instructions and ordered everyone to discuss among themselves. He temporarily left the table, then stood up and walked out.
Leave the inner hall.
The old master turned out of the courtyard and saw the young master waiting here anxiously. His eyes lit up when he saw him:
"Father, something happened."
The island owner lowered his voice, made sure there was no one else around, and asked:
"What happened?"
The young gang leader said seriously:
"A few days ago, on the day of the reception banquet, didn't you order me to contact the guardian of Yuezhou to find out and explain the identity and situation of the 'successor of the calligraphy family'?"
The island owner frowned and said, "Is there a problem?"
The young gang leader nodded vigorously and spoke quickly:
"Yuezhou sent a letter saying that there is indeed such a number one person. However, although this person is a calligrapher, his strength is very poor. He is still in the realm of nourishing qi. He is alone and wandering in the rivers and lakes. He has no background. Otherwise, how could he be recognized? Easily pulled into the sect? There are no powerful warrior guards, maids or servants..."
Not in the right state?
No background?
No guard servants?
The old island owner froze on the spot.
At this moment, the mind of the monk sitting in the well went blank for a moment, and then he felt a sense of horror.
He took a step forward and stared at his son:
"Is that really what they said there? Is it possible that the details are not fully investigated?"
The young gang leader looked sad, shook his head and said:
"How could it be possible that the person the protector of Yuezhou could not find out? Father, I said that boy always gives me a very strange feeling, and I can't tell what is wrong. Tell me, if it is really a powerful dragon from Yuezhou, Why come all the way here?
Who doesn't know now that the power of the Demon Sect in Lanzhou has been miserably suppressed? Just for a woman? I suspect there is definitely something wrong with this person! "
The old island owner's heart sank, but he was still not convinced.
After all, he was very sure that the five scholars did have Gu worms in their bodies.
"Come with me to the wedding room to see!"
After thinking briefly, the veteran strong man spoke decisively, and then strode towards the wedding room, with the young master following closely behind.
The father and son walked halfway when they saw the old woman in gray leading a group of maids walking from the side. The latter bowed and said happily:
"Island Master, I was looking for you. I just went to the banquet place. I learned that you had returned to the house, so I was about to rush there."
The old island owner stared at her and said in a low voice:
"Why are you here? Weren't you told to stare at the saint?"
The old woman smiled and announced the good news:
"I waited until the uncle in the house got on the bed and made sure that the saint had lost her virginity, and then I came here."
The old island owner’s face became increasingly gloomy:
"Who told you to leave? Come with me immediately!"
The old woman's eyes were stunned. She didn't know why she was like this. She had clearly completed her task. Besides, the new uncle would eventually be a high-ranking member of the Holy Religion in the future. How could he be disturbed?
But as she watched the island owner and his son set off, she had no choice but to follow them in a hurry.
The island is not big, and the group of people arrived at the outside of the hospital in a short time.
The young master took the lead and kicked open the courtyard door, only to see that the wedding room was already dark and silent.
Brush - A water pattern with the word "Chuan" lit up between the old island owner's eyebrows, and the monk sitting in the well's consciousness spread like a tide.
Two seconds later, his expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly raised his hand and pushed forward!
"boom!"
The two doors with big red characters on them cracked in the middle and shot towards both sides, causing the maids to exclaim.
The young master rushed into the room and looked at the empty and messy bed. There was no trace of a human being anywhere.
He reached out and grabbed two sets of bright red groom's and bride's attires from the messy quilt. The quilt was still warm and moist. His expression changed and he turned around and said:
"Father, he left not long ago!"
Disappeared?
How could the uncle and the saint disappear? Wasn't there such a big noise just now... The old woman felt like she was struck by lightning, she couldn't understand.
The old island owner's eyes darkened slightly and he said sternly:
"Send my order! Search the entire island! We must arrest these two and bring them to justice!"
"As you command!"
The young master, anxious and excited, rushed out. Before leaving, he glanced at the old woman with a deathly look.
Suddenly, with loud shouts, disciples of the Daze Sect who were guarding everywhere swarmed in, and the originally quiet island became noisy again.
The old island owner had no intention of dealing with the old woman, so he jumped up into the air, with waves of water swaying under his dark green satin robe. Looking down from a high position, his consciousness spread out like a tide.
Although I was angry, I was not too anxious.
After all, this place is an isolated island, and there is a huge black swamp outside. The cultivation level of the fake "successor of the calligrapher" is limited after all.
Now that I noticed it in time, the other party also brought a tow bottle, so he should have escaped not far away, and most likely he has not left the island yet.
However, what shocked him was that there was no gain in the area covered by his spiritual consciousness, and further away, it was completely shrouded in darkness, making it difficult to see through.
He thought for a moment, raised his wrist and flipped it, the skin was broken open, and half of the golden adult Gu crawled out, but half of the body was completely grown on the meridians.
Gu Chong raised his head and "sniffed" it gently, then stared straight in the direction of the dock.
"You have joined the Holy Cult and still want to run away?"
The old island owner sneered, his eyes fierce, and he was already thinking about how to manipulate the opponent.
The robes swayed, and the whole person was like a cannonball. He controlled the magic, followed the guidance of the golden Gu worm, and chased towards the edge of the island!
…
…
Turn back time for a while.
In the wedding room.
When the old woman and her group left, Ji Ping'an suddenly opened the quilt, raised his shirtless body, and took a few deep breaths.
His forehead was covered with beads of sweat, but his eyes were sharp and clear, staring outside through the window.
From inside the quilt, two fair and delicate arms stretched out like entanglements and clung to him. When he saw that he was not moving, Xue Ji, who was also disheveled, sat up in confusion and whispered:
"Are they gone?"
Ji Ping'an did not answer, but closed his eyes. Veins appeared on his forehead, and blurry "pictures" flickered in the sea of consciousness.
That was an early warning from the star officer about his own safety.
Previously, it was difficult for astrology to accurately predict the future due to various reasons, but as danger approaches, the originally extremely blurry picture begins to become slightly clearer.
"Pah." Ji Ping'an opened his eyelids, a little surprised:
"Did you react? So quickly?"
Xue Ji was confused, hooked his arm, and twisted her waist strangely:
"What's wrong?"
Ji Ping'an glanced at her and said:
"We need to leave immediately and get dressed."
"Ah? Not yet..." Xue Ji opened her mouth, feeling frustrated for no reason, a little resentful that the old woman and others walked too fast.
But naturally she knew the priorities, so she quickly grabbed the wedding dress and put it on her body, only to find that it had been torn.
She had no choice but to hurriedly search for her original clothes placed in the room.
Ji Ping'an also took off most of his dress and put on a green shirt that was easier to move around.
At the same time, he touched it in his arms, turned out the Taoist scriptures, quickly wrote a few lines of text, and clicked "Send".
Then he put away the Taoist scriptures and took out a talisman from the brocade bag. If Taoist Banshan were here, he would definitely be quite surprised.
Recognizing it at a glance, it was quite similar to the teleportation talisman he used when he escaped from Ye Hongling's sword in Qiantang City, but there were some slight differences.
"How do we go? There are many people from the Demon Cult on the island. We alone might..." Xue Ji said anxiously after changing her clothes.
After the joy, she suddenly became anxious, remembering that she was still in the enemy's lair.
Whether it is the well-sitting monk, the leader of the Daze Sect, or a group of Pojiu believers, they are all obstacles that prevent them from leaving.
Ji Ping'an smiled, raised his hand to hold her catkins, and said:
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
After finishing his words, he pulled gently, and the talisman immediately fell into pieces, and a halo of light spread out, covering the two of them.
"Wait, I haven't worn it yet..." Xue Ji had just finished speaking when the light that illuminated the house suddenly shrank to a small dot.
The two big living people suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Only the lamp on the table was blown and went out with a pop, leaving only darkness.
…
at the same time.
On the east side of Qianjiao Island, the stones of the island are sunken inwards, forming the prototype of a port and built as a pier.
A ship was parked in the dock, and there were several Dazai disciples guarding the houses around the dock.
"Huh, it's really cold after autumn," a disciple frowned, stood on the pier with a lantern, looked around, and hurried back to the hut, complaining:
"The island has been sealed off for several days. There are still dragons guarding the Blackwater Lake. Who else can come? But we are still left here to keep vigil all night. They are all having a wedding banquet inside."
In the room, another disciple stood up and prepared to take his turn. Hearing this, he sighed and said:
"What's the point of having a wedding banquet? The one who really feels comfortable is the new uncle. Tsk tsk, the devil's saint's face and figure are really... Oh, what a pity."
Although the leader of the Da Ze Sect has joined the Four Saints Sect, the entire sect is still independent, and his disciples occasionally call him "Demon Sect" in private.
"Hey, I can't say for sure. I heard that the saint offended the four holy leaders. This time she chose a husband as a punishment. In the end, she didn't get a turn with those ugly monsters. In the end, she was snatched by a normal-looking scholar. Maybe later The Four Saints leader knows about it, and when he gets angry, he will do it again, and then maybe we will..."
Holding a lantern, the disciple standing at the door winked and said.
Suddenly, he saw his companion in front of him staring behind him in horror.
"Maybe?"
A voice with no emotion came.
The latter was stunned, turned his head suddenly, and was shocked to see two figures appearing behind him.
One is wearing a green shirt with an unfamiliar appearance, and the other is nestling next to the man, wearing a black gauze robe, barefoot, with messy hair. Under the light, a face with three-dimensional features and a somewhat exotic style is reflected.
"Holy...holy..."
As soon as a word came out of the Daze sect disciple's throat, Ji Ping'an slapped Tianling to pieces.
The night watchman inside screamed and turned around to escape, but was struck by a sharp thorn that shot up from the ground, upwards from between his legs and pierced through his abdomen, and was instantly killed.
Ji Ping'an casually took his badge, picked up the paper lantern, turned to Xue Ji and said:
"To the dock."
Xue Ji nodded vigorously, and the little bird said like a human: "Okay!"
The two quickly found a small boat. Xue Ji jumped up and stepped on the wet and cold boat. Her toes curled up. She turned around and saw Ji Ping'an jumping up with a lantern and making a talisman.
The yellow paper charm stuck to the hull of the boat with a "snap", and the boat was like an arrow from the string, breaking through the waves and rushing towards the huge black water.
Xue Ji staggered and said urgently:
"The lantern... will attract..."
Ji Ping'an smiled and turned to look at the dock behind him.
Because of the commotion here, a patrol team had already reacted, rushed into the dock, and started shouting loudly towards the two people in the lake.
Some disciples of the Daze Sect had already sailed their boats and launched a pursuit in the water, while some even rushed to the interior of the island to seek support.
Ji Ping'an turned back, looked at Xue Ji who looked particularly weak, and said with a smile:
"It's okay, trust me."
"Yes." Xue Ji felt relieved for no reason, and at the same time she was in a trance, vaguely seeing the demeanor of her old friend from the unfamiliar face in front of her.
She thought for a while and said, "Do you have any other preparations?"
…
The back of Qianjiao Island.
Unlike the gentle east side, the west side has high cliffs that completely prevent ships from approaching.
Although there are people on duty, the coast of the island is not short, so it is naturally impossible to take care of every place.
At this moment, a ship arrived under the cover of the sound of waves. The bow of the ship hit the rocks with a heavy "bang".
Immediately, the Taoist Saint, who stood at the bow of the boat and was at least one position away from the others, smiled lowly and said:
"Everyone, I, the Holy Son, go first. The road is long. We will meet again if we are destined."
After saying that, he jumped up, his steps were full of clouds, and in the blink of an eye, he climbed onto the island along the towering cliff, his movements relaxed and freehand.
"...This island is so big, and it's still so long... Let's just meet each other, why do we need fate?" Han Qingsong held the scabbard, speechless.
Qin Leyou next to him smiled:
"The Holy Son is really kind. Let's go. We can't fall behind others. We want to see if there is any progress in this group of people. God will reward them greatly."
After saying that, he drew his sword out of its sheath, and his true energy spurred the long sword to roar into the air, followed by a famous academy disciple Jing Cong behind him.
The Taoist disciples also showed their magical powers, and in the blink of an eye, the boat full of people disappeared into the forest on the island.
…
On the island, in the inner hall.
The Corpse Witch and others waited for a long time, but when the island owner did not return, they only felt anxious and uneasy.
"Where did the people go? Could it be that something happened within the Daze Sect?" the dwarf muttered.
The Corpse Witch shook his head. He was also not sure. He was stroking the skeleton staff with both hands and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.
Everyone looked at each other, then stood up and walked out together, calling out to a disciple of the Daze Sect who was running away:
"What happened?"
The disciple replied:
"The leader sent an order that the identity of the 'new uncle' is in doubt. He has kidnapped the saint and escaped. The whole island is ordered to be searched!"
What?
Is there a problem with the calligrapher’s heir? Kidnapped the saint?
The reborn people were stunned, and the old corpse witch was stunned on the spot, with countless thoughts rising and falling in his mind like lightning.
Suddenly, he seemed to have guessed something, and his two eyes, one red and one green, flashed with a faint light and said:
"Let's go, let's go quickly..."
The dwarf was confused: "Shall we arrest people too?"
The corpse witch looked ferocious and anxious: "Run away, run away quickly..."
…
"Young Master, the building is empty. The new uncle's guards, maids, and book boys are all gone!"
Outside the bamboo building, a disciple of the Daze sect came out to report.
The young master's face was uncertain, and he was not surprised by this. Since the other party had already planned it, these accomplices would have escaped just one step earlier. By the way... accomplices...
His eyes lit up, and with a sudden wave of his hand, he led a group of monks towards a building not far away and surrounded it.
The door was pushed open, and first the blank and nervous faces of the two girls were revealed, and then a hand stretched out from behind the door and pulled the two girls to the back.
The blind old Taoist walked out with a smile, blocking the two female disciples behind him, holding a soul lamp burning purple fire in his hand, and said in surprise:
"Young Master, what does this mean?"
