Fatigue still made Gu Fengxiao's reaction a beat slower. By the time he reacted, Rong Fei had already rushed into the town with a strong wind. I secretly praised how fast it was, and hurriedly followed.
During this period, the two of them worked together to clear out three case rooms in Kyoto Prefecture and solved more than a thousand cases. Gu Fengxiao had improved his cultivation by absorbing a large amount of Xingming Qi, and Rong Fei, as the leader, naturally gained more benefits. .
Haechi, who has been sleeping in the aura space, has a faint tendency to transform.
When passing through the archway, Rong Fei smelled a faint fragrance, but he didn't pay attention to it. He just wanted to find out the cause of the scream as soon as possible.
What he was most worried about at the moment was that the masked monk hijacked the residents of the town and killed innocent people indiscriminately.
Before they had rushed far away, a fire lit up deep in the town, and there were shadowy figures swaying in the fire.
When Rong Fei and Gu Fengxiao arrived at the center of the town, they met seven or eight men holding torches, knives and bows, and wearing animal skins and linen clothes dressed as hunters.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
A strong man pointed his bow and arrow at the two men and shouted loudly.
"The official is handling the case. Did you hear any screams just now?"
Rong Fei took out the silver medal and threw it in front of the strong man's eyes and asked.
"What the hell? I can't read."
The strong man stared at the writing on the silver medal and muttered, but the arrow was still aimed at Rong Fei's chest.
Another firelight lit up behind several strong men, and at the same time there was the sound of slow, dragging footsteps.
Rong Fei looked toward the fire, and not long after, an old man with gray hair and a stooped figure came tremblingly to him with the support of two young people.
"Fourth uncle."
When the strong men saw the old man, they hurriedly called out respectfully.
The old man nodded kindly, and then looked at the silver medal in Rong Fei's hand.
"You two gentlemen, don't be surprised. I have little knowledge and have never heard of Jixian Si Yamen."
Jixiansi's reputation is not well known, and this town is located in a remote mountain, so it makes sense that you have never heard of it. So Gu Fengxiao came up and gave the old man known as the fourth uncle a brief introduction to the Ji Xian Division, explaining that the two of them came here to hunt down the murderer, and that they had just heard someone screaming outside the town and were worried that some townspeople would be attacked by the murderer. Harmful.
"You two are actually immortal messengers. This little old man is so polite."
After the fourth uncle found out their identities, he was about to kneel down and kowtow, but Rong Fei held his arms to stop him.
"The old man doesn't need to be so polite. The top priority is to catch the culprit so that no more people will be harmed."
"Master Xiancha is right. However, although the little old man's eyesight is dim, his ears are still sensitive. He didn't hear any screams before."
The fourth uncle shook his head and said, then turned his gaze to several townspeople behind him and asked.
"Can you hear any noise?"
"No."
Several people shook their heads to express that they heard nothing, so the fourth uncle turned back to Rong Fei and said.
"Hey! This is a bit strange. To be honest with you two immortals, our town usually makes a living by hunting, gathering medicine, and logging. These young and strong young people are even better hands, with the best eyesight and ears. . Ordinarily, if there is any trouble in the town, it will definitely not escape their eyes and ears. Could it be that... the two immortals misunderstood? "
Rong Fei and Gu Fengxiao looked at each other and saw deep doubts in each other's eyes.
The scream just now was extremely high-pitched, and it was the dead of night, so how could you not hear it?
But the situation was urgent, so there was no extra time for Rong Fei to think and seek justice for his fourth uncle.
"No matter what, we both have to go into the town to search."
"This... I'm not afraid of the jokes of the two immortals. This town is located in the mountains, and there is no fertile farmland around. The townspeople are living off the mountains and barely making a living. All the families in the town can't put together much money. Xiao I still have half a piece of smoked wild boar and a few jars of home-brewed fruit wine at my home. Although it’s not worth a few cents, it’s still a fresh taste.”
Rong Fei insisted on going into the town to search, but the old man mistakenly thought that he was asking for benefits in disguise. The faces of the strong men also showed anger, and they clenched their swords and bows.
"Don't misunderstand me, old man. The two of us are just searching and have no other intentions."
Rong Fei was not afraid of a few ordinary mountain people, but he did not want to bully them, so he hurriedly explained to his fourth uncle.
Rong Fei's words were sincere, but the fourth uncle was still dubious. After pondering for a moment, he reluctantly agreed.
"This town is built on the mountain, and the roads are winding and complicated. In order to prevent the two immortals from getting lost, let the two incompetent juniors, Xiaolao'er, lead the way. Besides, the townspeople have fallen asleep at this time, and we have to get up early to go into the mountains tomorrow. Collecting herbs, I hope you two immortals will be considerate and try not to make too much noise. Danniu, Erniu, you two brothers are leading the immortals around, don't be lazy."
After that, the fourth uncle called out two strong men with similar faces and gave instructions.
The two brothers were tall and strong. One held an iron fork and the other held a spear. They stared at Rong Fei and Gu Fengxiao with unkind expressions.
"That's fine, thank you two brothers for your hard work over there."
After thinking for a moment, Rong Fei did not refuse and cupped his fists at the two brothers.
Then he warned the old man.
"The murderer is very powerful and very powerful. It is safer for the elderly to return home as soon as possible and close the door."
After the instructions, Rong Fei and Gu Fengxiao, led by two townspeople, ran in the direction where the screams had been heard.
Rong Fei and Gu Fengxiao both raised their vigilance and searched everywhere but found nothing.
However, I noticed that the yards of many houses on the roadside were covered with waist-high weeds, and their doors and windows were all damaged and incomplete. It seems that life here is really difficult. The owners of these vacant houses must have gone out to find another way to make a living.
After about a stick of incense, the two townspeople responsible for leading the way stopped and pointed at the large dark shadow ahead.
"There is a dense forest in front, and there is a thousand-foot cliff in the depth. There is no road behind. We have town rules here, and you are not allowed to enter the forest after midnight, so as not to disturb the mountain god from sleeping."
Rong Fei had only guessed a rough direction based on the screams before. Since no target was found in this direction, after thinking about it, he decided to act separately with Gu Fengxiao. Each took a town citizen with him to search the north and south sides. Finally, under the archway at the entrance of the town. Convergence.
At this time, Chunhua and the other twelve detectives from the Immortal Division had also regained their energy. They worked in pairs and found easy hiding places to lurk, blocking the only way in and out of the town.
The eldest Hou Chunhua and the youngest Li Jun were in a group. The two hid on a thick tree and monitored the road below from a high position.
In the dead of night, the occasional chirping of insects and birds could be heard all around.
There was no danger at this time, so Hou Chunhua turned his head and whispered to Li Jun beside him.
"You have nothing to do now. You can find a thicker branch to lean on and rest for a while."
"Don't worry, I feel stronger now than before. It's really thanks to Rongtou's elixir, otherwise I might really be in danger this time."
Recalling the scene when he was hit in the chest by the masked monk yesterday, Li Jun still felt a little scared, and then he felt grateful to Rong Fei.
That was the Xuanbing Creation Pill, a priceless fourth-grade elixir that could regenerate severed limbs. It only took half a pill to repair his shattered internal organs, and he was dragged back from the hell gate.
Now that I think about it, Li Jun still feels like he is in a dream.
Although elixirs are not as rare as magic weapons, they are still extremely precious. At a critical moment, if you have some magical elixir with you, it will be like having an extra life.
It is no exaggeration to say that a fourth-grade elixir like Xuanbing Creation Pill, which can quickly heal injuries, can buy dozens of lives for a monk of Li Jun's level, or even more.
Like Hou Chunhua, Li Jun and the others, the seventh- and eighth-grade elixirs can only make people drool when they look at them, let alone the fourth-grade Xuanbing Creation Pills.
But yesterday, Rong Fei did not hesitate at all and directly stuffed half of the Xuanbing Creation Pill into Li Jun's mouth. He held the remaining half in his hand and closely observed Li Jun's condition. If the medicine is not effective enough, Dayou will feed him half of it.
In fact, it's not that Rong Fei is stingy. If Xuan Bing Zai Huan Pills hadn't been able to alleviate the sequelae of the supernatural power of seeing across the wall, he would have fed a whole pill to Li Jun at that time.
"Lao Hou, I think although Rongtou looks fierce, he is really kind to his own people. And... I feel like I am living like a human being."
After being silent for a long time, Li Jun suddenly said something meaningless.
Hou Chunhua was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded in agreement.
Following Rong Fei in handling cases these days, Hou Chunhua felt a sense of elated pride for the first time since joining the Ji Xian Division.
This is what Ji Xian Si should look like, this is the majesty that Ji Xian Si should have.
Thinking of the respectful and admiring expressions of the police officers in Kyoto Prefecture when they saw Rong Fei, Hou Chunhua and others also felt a sense of honor.
Thinking again about the life he and others lived before Rong Fei came, any yamen dared to point fingers and ridicule wantonly. Not only did he lose the monk's face, he couldn't even maintain the most basic dignity of a human being.
What a world of difference!
After sighing for a moment, Hou Chunhua looked at Li Jun strangely and asked.
"You kid, don't act like a bitch. If you fart, hurry up."
"Uh... I actually just want to say that I plan to follow Rongtou wholeheartedly from now on."
Li Jun hesitated.
"You should say this to the adults yourself. It will be of no use to show your loyalty to me."
"I'm not embarrassed to say it. You are thick-skinned and I want you to teach me."
"go away."
Hou Chunhua laughed and cursed.
The two were chatting in a low voice when they saw a light of fire coming under the archway at the entrance of the town. By the light of the fire, they could clearly see that it was Gu Fengxiao and an unknown strong man.
Gu Fengxiao and the strong man looked around under the archway, as if waiting for someone. After about a stick of incense, Gu Fengxiao's face became a little anxious. After saying something to the strong man, the strong man turned around and entered the town. .
After Gu Fengxiao could no longer see the figure of the strong man, he came to the outside of the town and saw a silent whistle specially designed for the Ji Xian Division.
The twelve agents felt the long and short vibrations of the whistles close to their chests, which was the signal for everyone to gather, so they all came out of their hiding places to join Gu Fengxiao.
"Did you see Ronto come out?"
After everyone gathered together, Gu Fengxiao asked anxiously.
"Isn't Rongtou always with you?"
"Oops, the crown is missing."
