Chu Zhe led the resident elder and a group of disciples out to slay demons. In the Taoist temple, Xu Ling was like a pig that had jumped out of the fence. He would go to the roof to see, and then go to the front hall to see, and he would also run to mingle with the people. Incense and prayer.
Although there are temples in Huashan where you can worship and pray for blessings, after all, there are very few climbers on the high mountains and dangerous roads. Anyone who goes up the mountain to pray is either a believer with great perseverance or a member of the royal family offering sacrifices to heaven. How can it be like here, which is close to the crossing city and the people are flocking to it and the incense is flourishing? No matter who has something to do, it's always nice to light a few sticks of incense.
Xu Ling, who was mixed in the crowd, was praised by the people for her elegant and ethereal aura.
Bai Yujun was lying on a chair reading a book. There were two plates of desserts on the table next to them. They were presented to the Taoist monks by the wealthy family at the foot of the mountain, in the hope of building closer relationships and protecting the whole family from being killed by evil ways.
Recently, Bai Yujun was studying how to control the flying sword.
Sword control is the basic skill of Chunyang Palace. It can be learned by sitting on Wangfeng. Sword control requires a certain level of cultivation as the basis. Controlling flying swords to kill enemies is very powerful, but it is difficult for Bai Yujun, who is currently only a snake spirit, to do it. .
Instead of wasting a lot of spiritual energy playing flying swords, it is better to learn swordsmanship and close combat like Yang Mu, which at least consumes less energy and has longer battery life. Last time Xu Ling was taught a lesson by his senior brother because the magnification move consumed a lot of spiritual energy.
He pulled out the sword and looked at it. The gift from Chu Zhe was not ordinary, but the sword was not suitable for close combat. He decided to go back to the mountain to find a disciple of Jinxu to help him make a sword. The horizontal sword of the Tang Dynasty was very good.
I was bored, so I took a flute and practiced playing it.
The harsh and unpleasant sound of the flute sounded in the courtyard. Yang Mu could no longer meditate and practice. Then, he saw Bai Yujun angrily grab the bamboo flute and throw it to the ground...
With a snap, the flute fell to pieces.
Yang Mu's mouth twitched.
"Dabai, I remember you bought fifteen bamboo flutes in Tongliucheng, three bamboo flutes in Qingyun County, bought one from a cowherd boy on the road, and stole three more in Liuyunji, for a total of twenty-two. , eighteen have been broken so far, and four are left. Green bamboo is not easy to grow, so use it and cherish it."
Bai Yujun's mouth opened slightly in shock, and he didn't even notice the snack falling.
The reason why she wanted to practice playing the flute was Yu Rong's request. According to her, Bai Yujun, as a hundred thousand mountain beast, is naturally too murderous and cruel and bloodthirsty. If he doesn't cultivate his state of mind, he will easily go astray in the future and practice singing and dancing instruments. It can temper the peace of mind and the animal nature in the body.
Bai Yujun was rarely embarrassed.
Front hall.
A yamen policeman in soap clothes was anxiously talking to the temple priest in charge of incense in the front hall of the Taoist temple, looking anxious and flustered.
Later, Miao Zhu took the policeman to the backyard.
"Brother Chunyang went to Luoyun Mountain to slay demons this morning. There were only three young monks who came down from the mountain to do some work. I don't know if I can help you. Please come here."
Miao Zhu and the policeman came to the backyard.
"Three Immortal Chiefs, this one is crossing the city to catch the headman and needs help from the Immortal Chief." Miao Zhu said respectfully to Yang Mu.
Although Yang Mu didn't know what was going on, he still kept his iceberg face very well so that no one could tell the details. Those who didn't know would think that Yang Mu was an indifferent master.
"Oh? What's the matter? Let me tell you."
The catcher took a step forward and bent down to salute. Although the three young men opposite him were only about fifteen years old, he had no choice but to grasp at this life-saving straw and hope it would be useful.
"Chief Immortal Qi, there is a Chengjia Town half a day away from the crossing city. Last night, more than a dozen people died in the town. The whole family died. Preliminary investigation suggests that it was caused by monsters. We have no choice but to come here. Ask for help from Chunyang Immortal Palace.”
The secular world calls monks Immortal Chief, and the practicing sect is called Immortal Palace. To ordinary people, the methods of monks are no different from those of gods.
"More than a dozen people died, one family..."
Yang Mu was thinking, trying to analyze what happened from what he had learned.
Xu Ling ran back from nowhere. Hearing that there was an evil spirit at work, he immediately shouted to go down the mountain to get rid of the evil. He didn't get much done along the way. It was so boring. He finally had something to do and it was urgent. How could he not go.
"Hurry~ let's go quickly~ before the evil spirit escapes." Xu Ling held a few talismans in his hand and wanted to fly away immediately.
After some thought, I thought I should go take a look. Besides, it's not a big monster. Thinking of this, Yang Mu looked at Bai Yujun. Multiple snake spirits would always be of some use.
Bai Yujun shrugged and said one word.
"good."
The three rookies who stayed in the Taoist temple passed unanimously and immediately took their weapons and followed the police down the mountain. There were government horses at the foot of the mountain to get to the Chengjia Town quickly. Yang Mu and Xu Ling could only glide a certain distance while flying with their swords. Because there is not enough, I can only ride on horseback.
Only the horse Bai Yujun was riding shivered from time to time for some reason.
The ability to sense animals is very strong, and the horse knows clearly that the beast on its back is definitely a ferocious beast, and it also likes to eat meat...
Chengjia Town.
The remote Chengjia Town is very peaceful, with crowing cocks, barking dogs, small bridges and flowing water. The town is located in the middle of three Z-shaped green mountains, with rivers passing through the town, ancient mottled stone archways, smooth stone roads, and three or two women. People carried wooden basins to the creek to wash their clothes, and ducks walked by in groups. It didn't look like a place where monsters were haunted.
"This way, three of you, please."
The head catcher leads the way.
"The person who killed the family was a squire from the town. His surname was Cheng. Most people in Cheng's town were traveling. The courtyard full of people standing at the front door was the murder scene."
The appearance of Yang Muxu Ling, who was wearing a pure Yang Taoist robe, immediately put the restless people at ease.
After dismounting their horses, a group of police officers came forward to pay their respects. After seeing Bai Yujun and Xu Ling, they were not surprised to be shocked. There was nothing they could do about it. In the difficult environment in ancient times, except for the young ladies from wealthy families who never left the house, they were basically the same. Without seeing beautiful women, some men would probably take risks if they were not Chunyang disciples.
The head catcher led two people and one snake towards the courtyard.
"Three immortal elders, the deceased are all in their respective rooms. They should have been killed by monsters last night. All the deceased have bloody holes in their necks with two fangs, and monster hair was also found at the scene."
One of the detectives brought over a small handful of gray animal hair wrapped in white cotton.
Yang Mu looked at it and handed it to Xu Ling and Bai Yujun. The two brothers and sisters confirmed that it was monster hair. It was easy to distinguish monster hair from ordinary beast hair, but Bai Yujun looked at the animal hair for a long time, and then After sniffing again, the detectives didn't quite know what they could smell. Only Yang Mu was very confident in Bai Yujun.
Arriving at a bedroom, which should be the owner's residence, a middle-aged couple looked ashen on the bed.
Bai Yujun stepped forward and looked at the wounds of the two people, touched the body, and smelled the jade hand that had touched the body carefully. Many people had been in the house, and the smell was a bit messy. If no one had been there, Bai Yujun could find more information with his sense of smell. Many clues.
"Are there any rooms of the deceased that no one has ever entered?" Bai Yujun asked.
The head catcher thought for a while.
"Yes, the maid's room. It's in the back of the room, so the sun doesn't shine in. It's very dark."
"lead the way."
The group of people left the master bedroom and went straight to the maid's room...
