You Ziji came to the stable alone and saw a small haystack next to it, thinking that this would be a place to rest.
He hung the package on a wooden stake nearby, then jumped up, threw himself on the haystack and rolled a few times, muttering to himself:
"It's really nice here. It's a place I spent five cents on. It's much more comfortable than being on a tree branch. It's not a loss."
Then You Ziji took out the dry food from the package to satisfy his hunger. After taking two bites, he suddenly regretted it. He was really choking on the dry food. He kept the bowl of noodle soup, but at this time, I am afraid that no one in the store would open fire for him. Cook.
I thought to myself that it would be okay to ask for some cold water.
So, I got up and went to look for the kitchen, where there would be some water.
You Ziji opened his nose and walked towards the place where the smell of food was strong, thinking that it should be the kitchen. As a result, I followed the smell to the place and found out that it was a late-night snack for the guests staying in the inn.
It was definitely wrong to search like this. You Ziji thought about it and decided to look for a place with a lot of oil smoke.
Just as he was about to turn around, his ears were sharp, but he heard the tenant eating supper upstairs say: "Our He Sima has been accepting bribes all the way, and now he is full of money. It's not in vain that we have waited for so long, brother. Let’s have a good meal first, and then go and rob his money and treasure tonight.”
"Eldest brother is right, go when you are full. Come on, third brother, finish this bowl of wine."
"Second brother, I can't drink..."
You Ziji was lying in the corner. Hearing this, it was okay and he didn't care about looking for water to eat.
He hurriedly ran out of the inn to inform the government, but he was afraid that he would be ignored as a fool. In addition, I suddenly remembered the red feather fan, and I didn't understand it, and I was afraid that it would be self-defeating.
Fortunately, he wandered around many places during the day in order to sell talismans. He knew the location of Tianfu Temple in Chongjun City, so he went there to report it.
Just because of his experience fighting side by side with Tianfu Temple in Zijun City, he had a lot of affection for him.
However, You Ziji never thought of exposing his identity.
After he arrived at Tianfu Temple, he calmed down his aura, looked for a deserted place, and climbed over the wall to enter. I found a big and dense tree and climbed on the branches of the tree invisibly.
You Ziji didn't know the leader of Tianfu Temple here, but through his five senses, he knew that there was a mysterious master working in front of the oil lamp in Tianfu Temple at this time. He must have an identity, so he would have no problem finding him.
It was not possible to just walk over and report the news. You Ziji thought of writing the information on paper and passing it on. He didn't have a pen or paper with him, so he broke off a branch from the tree and burned it into charcoal. Then he took out a piece of yellow paper for drawing talismans from his arms and briefly wrote down the information he obtained. His posture was a bit awkward, and although his writing was poor, it was still legible. The current environment was simple, so that was all.
You Ziji hid in the canopy of the tree, pinpointed the location, and floated the paper down at will. In order to prevent being discovered, You Ziji did not dare to use the spell to blow the wind and let it float, and then used the magic palm to separate it from the air.
This palm technique is not powerful enough, but it leaves no trace, so it is most suitable for such sneaky things. Holding the paper in his phantom palm, he arrived at the door of the Xuanjing monk, placed it on the floor, and then knocked on the door to spread his energy. He did it in one go, without leaving any trace of his breath.
The Xuanjing monk who was working at his desk in the house was alerted by the knock on the door. This was the interior of Tianfu Temple. He did not suspect that an outsider had invaded, but said: "Who is it? Come in."
After waiting for a while, no one responded.
"That little bastard is making mischief again."
He didn't want to pay attention to it, but after thinking about it, he went to open the door. As expected, no one was seen. He was thinking about some boy's prank, until he saw a piece of yellow paper at his feet, which seemed to have writing on it. He picked up the paper. At first glance, the handwriting is legible even though it is scrawled.
"The thieves plotted to rob He Sima!"
His expression changed, but he didn't act immediately. Instead, he looked around first, but You Ziji held his breath and his breath was intact, and he was hidden, so he didn't notice anything strange.
After confirming that no one was there, he summoned all the night guards.
"Ma Sili summoned me late at night. What do you want me to do?"
Ma Sili passed the paper in his hand and circulated it, which immediately caused an uproar.
"If you are so sneaky and don't dare to show your face, it must be some rat who is entertaining us. Don't trust us gullibly."
"You mean it was a prank? Did one of you do that?"
Faced with Ma Sili's questioning, everyone shook their heads in denial.
"Everyone knows the seriousness, how can you make such a joke."
"It was definitely not our doing."
"Yes, Sir Sili, please don't accuse us unjustly."
Ma Sili's face was stern and he said: "Tianfu Temple is heavily guarded and no outsiders are allowed to enter, so a master sneaked in quietly to deliver a message just to prank you?"
Everyone could not refute, so they could only say: "Then what are you waiting for? Sili quickly gave the order. Let's go to the governor's mansion to protect He Sima now."
"You guys are really stupid. Can we take care of such a serious matter? Although He Sima has a high position, he is not in the same system as us. If we can't get along, others will do the work."
"Sir, are you talking about people from the government? If you dare to come to Chong County to rob, you are as low as a foundation-building monk. Those government officials are at the most inferior to the Qi training realm."
He Sima's eyes widened, and the conspicuous Bao who just spoke immediately shrank his neck, "I still need you to teach me? Bao Tian, Shi Xiu, you two go to the White Crane Temple in the city and inform Taoist Fan about this. Wait. I will write a letter myself and give it to him, and he will arrange it properly.
Qi Cheng, Yu Chong, you two go to Hutou Hall in Luoyanmen. Their Qin Hall Master is suspicious by nature and may not believe it. Give him this piece of paper intact. He will not take action, but he will definitely wait and see. , when he sees the Taoist priest of Tianyu Temple in action, he will definitely follow suit.
Once there is a dispute outside, brothers, remember not to take action and listen to my arrangements. If the robbery and murder were true, let others take the credit. If this matter is false, it is to lure the tiger away from the mountain. If you want to get something from our Tianfu Temple, everyone must cheer up and not relax. Nothing is meritorious! "
"yes!"
Everyone knows that working at Tianfu Temple in Chongjun is a lucrative job, because the two major forces in the city will help them complete a lot of work, but they still have to protect some important bottom lines by themselves.
Everyone in Tianfu Temple started to get busy, and they all left the place after a while.
On the treetop in the same yard as them, You Ziji was breathing heavily. He had spent a lot of energy just now trying to hide his whereabouts from the mysterious realm.
Seeing no one around, he quietly sneaked out without being discovered. He had to go back to the inn and keep an eye on the bandits, lest the people from Tianyu Temple and Hutoutang couldn't keep an eye on them and escaped.
As for You Ziji's robbery, he wrote it as murder and looting, which was a helpless move, lest the people in Tianfu Temple would not take it seriously. However, after his troubles, the situation seemed to be changing drastically.
…
In front of the White Crane Temple, the little Taoist boy opened the temple door with sleepy eyes. He saw two strong men standing in front of him, wearing military uniforms with black bottom silver and embroidered silver fish. They were the guards of Tianfu Temple. He immediately knew that something was wrong. Go back and report to Elder Fan.
"What? Is this serious?" When Fan Daozhang heard this, even with Ma Sili's personal letter as proof, he mostly didn't believe it. But as Ma Sili said, a master sneaked into the heavily guarded Tianfu Temple without anyone noticing and sent the message. This matter is not simple by any means.
It's hard to believe that the person who sent the news is not plotting something else. It is indeed a good idea for Tianfu Temple to take charge and Tianyu Guan to protect He Sima.
With Tian Yu Guan coming forward, some sneaky people would not dare to act recklessly within the confines of Chong County, unless they no longer wanted to live.
At that moment, Taoist Fan called the two young Taoist priests on duty to tell them what had happened. Both of them were teenagers of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a foundation-building level.
"Although your cultivation level is not low, I am not very relieved. In this way, if you carry my feather fan, you can save your life if something happens. Remember not to use it to show off your violence. Once you use the feather fan, it means you have encountered a strong force. Enemies, I will sense and go to save you immediately."
Faced with Elder Fan's meticulous arrangements, the two young Taoist priests were very relieved.
"Elder, don't worry. If the enemy is really powerful, he won't be so sneaky. At most, he is only in the Xuan realm. With you at our back, nothing will happen to us."
"Then you have to be careful. If something happens, your master won't have to come to me for help."
"I know~" This reply was dragged out for a long time, making Elder Fan shake his head in anger.
On the other side, Qi Cheng and Yu Chong also handed over the paper that You Ziji wrote the message to Hall Master Qin intact, and returned directly to Tianfu Temple without staying any longer. It doesn’t matter whether Hall Master Qin believes it or not, the matter has been told to you anyway, it’s up to you whether to go or not.
Hall Master Qin was torn in his heart. After much deliberation, he finally sent two disciples to the governor's mansion to investigate. As expected, he got the news that Fan Laodao of White Crane Temple had sent two young Taoist priests to guard He Sima.
"It seems that this news is indeed reliable."
Hall Master Qin whispered to himself. His adopted son Qin Yu, who was beside him, understood his thoughts and knew that Hall Master Qin’s heart was shaken and said:
"Father, I would rather believe that he is there than not. Since Fan Laodao's people have already gone, if we don't go, it will appear that we don't care. Even if we don't need to curry favor with He Sima, it will not look good on our face."
Hall Master Qin pondered for a moment. Regardless of whether it was true or false, he did not want to fall into the disadvantage of Fan Laodao, so he said: "Yu'er, please take two disciples with you to have a look. If something really happened, you must also tell them." When the prisoners are brought back, I always feel that things are not that simple.”
"Yes, foster father."
…
He Sima was tired from traveling and traveling, so he wanted to rest in Chong County for a few days. Now, on the first night of my stay at the Sheriff's Mansion, I had already prepared a banquet with singing and dancing to relieve my fatigue.
After singing and dancing for a while, they heard reports from outside that two Taoist priests from Tianyu Temple came to ask for an audience. Although they felt unhappy because their interest was interrupted, they did not dare to show it. Sima Yizhou is not necessarily more noble than Tianyu Guan. If this matter spreads out in the future, wouldn't he offend others for nothing.
So even when two young Taoist priests came in, He Sima still welcomed them warmly without showing any signs of strangeness.
After three drinks, I was in high spirits when I heard reports that the adopted son of the master of Hutou Hall in Luoyanmen had also arrived.
He Sima was puzzled for a while, what kind of wind was it today that actually attracted people from the two major forces.
