Ye Ning had never known how long half a year was.
Now she was sitting on her horse, looking at the skylight passing through the treetops, and understood how long this period of time had been.
To be precise, this was the ninth day of six months since the little thief came to her.
She thought that after there was no news from her, she would slowly forget about it.
It's a pity that she found that she couldn't do it. As long as she saw a Taoist couple, she would think of him. When she saw an interesting or boring story, she would also think of him and the stories he told herself.
She had dreamed many times that the thief was in her body, but when she woke up, she found that she had not "lost her virginity", and she couldn't help but feel disappointed and lost.
And today, she finally found him.
The skill of wielding a spear passed down from her family, even if she used a fire stick to cover it up, it still couldn't be hidden from her.
It turned out that the little thief was the one who caused her not to drink the tea.
Is this arranged by God?
At this moment, thousands of emotions surged into her heart, and Ye Ning, who had stopped crying, burst into tears again.
She really wanted to see him.
The man she thought was going to die of illness, but still had the strength to hit people.
But at this time, she was nervous again, even a little uneasy.
How will the little thief react when he sees me?
She had imagined this scenario countless times, but when it came to fruition, she couldn't help but feel nervous.
She almost saw what the little thief looked like?
Xiaozhu once said that the young man who forges iron is quite handsome.
For a moment, her heart had flown across this long road and headed towards Baidi City.
When I arrived, I was in a hurry, and when I came back, it was also the same.
However, the distance between Qinglong Temple and Baidi City and the rugged roads meant that it would take her another day.
After not sleeping for two consecutive nights, the saintly girl returned to Baidi City in high spirits.
She didn't rush to the door.
Because she still needs a little preparation time, which is the same as online dating, at least she has to dress up nicely.
Seeing the saint return, Xiaozhu hurriedly came up to her and said, "Miss, the Taoist temple has been found."
Ye Ning patted the tired horse, handed it to the servant, and said absently: "Where is it?"
Now her mind is not on investigating the disappearance case.
"The news came from Juan Yu Pavilion yesterday. The Taoist temple should be Changmu Temple, which is at the foot of Laoyun Mountain."
Listening to Xiaozhu's report, Ye Ning nodded and said, "You can talk about it later, I'll take a shower."
After that, Ye Ning took a good shower and put on Jing Yue's favorite red dress.
There was a rose embroidered on the red dress. In the words of the little thief, he liked the way this flower was stretched out of shape.
At that time, she said he was cheating, but she didn't expect that he would wear it now.
After that, she added a pearl hairpin to her hair, adding a touch of nobility to the bright and attractive look.
Xiaozhu stood outside looking at it in a daze.
She has always liked male sex, but at this moment she couldn't help but be stunned by the saint's dress.
Then she found that the saint was applying a little pink and she couldn't help but said: "Miss, do you need to dress like this when going to the Taoist temple to investigate a case?"
Ye Ning raised her eyebrows and said, "Who went to investigate the case?"
"ah?"
"Go to the Chunfeng Gang and see where Duan Yu is." Ye Ning ordered.
Xiaozhu's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Miss, I understand! It is certain that Duan Yu is the murderer, so we don't need to go to the Taoist temple to investigate, we can just arrest him directly."
There was a confused expression on Ye Ning's beautiful face.
What a mess.
Although she wanted to catch the thief, it was not because of this.
"I asked you to go find out the news. Can you please stop using your messy head for a while?" Ye Ning complained.
On the way, Xiaozhu always thought that her opinion was right, but she was a little confused. Why did the saint dress up like that when arresting people?
It doesn't feel like arresting someone, but rather like stealing someone.
"I understand! It must be a honey trap!" Xiaozhu understood again and murmured to himself.
Is this evil jade thief so powerful that he wants the saint to use a beauty trap?
Xiaozhu went, and Xiaozhu came back.
Saint Ye Ning, who was almost dressed up, couldn't help but ask: "How is it?"
"Duan Yu is not in the Chunfeng Gang." Xiaozhu replied.
"Where?"
"After getting the news, I followed the people from the Yamen and the Chunfeng Gang to Changmu Temple this morning."
"What!"
Ye Ning, who was wearing a rose red dress, suddenly stood up and asked, "Where is the map?"
Xiaozhu quickly brought the map.
As a result, the next moment, the saint was already on her horse and said, "I want to go to Changmu Temple. You can gather Huang Ying and the others before coming."
With that said, the saint rode away again, leaving only Xiaozhu with a fiery back.
"Are you in such a hurry?"
Xiao Zhuchu was there, always feeling that today was a repeat of the day before, except that the saint had changed her clothes and makeup.
The next moment, she reacted and said: "I understand! It must be Duan Yu, the murderer, who wants to take the opportunity to escape, and the saint has gone to catch him!"
After that, some people and defenders in Baidi City saw a man dressed in red leaving the city. Although it was just a glimpse and they didn't even see his face clearly, they still felt amazing.
The saintly girl is brighter, indeed brighter than the blooming rose.
In Laoyun Mountain, the ink-colored mountains and forests spread to the end of the line of sight like a sea, while the highest snow-capped peaks looked like rolled-up snow waves.
There are scattered towns and villages at the foot of the mountain, and smoke rises from the kitchen.
There are some small and medium-sized markets in the town, which basically deal with the business of locals and pilgrims.
These towns are also influenced by the large and small Taoist temples on the mountains. There are many believers in Tianzun. From time to time, you can see Taoist talismans and Bagua patterns.
In the past few days, for the sake of safety, the spies from Juan Yu Pavilion did not rush into Laoyun Mountain to explore.
There were many spectators on the mountain road, and there were some taboos. In addition, the place they wanted to investigate was dangerous, so they used the usual "ask" method to find out.
The well-informed people in the nearby towns basically asked them about it, and they actually found clues.
Changmu Temple is an inconspicuous one among the many Taoist temples in Laoyun Mountain. According to the old man in the town, there were some pilgrims a few decades ago, and the Taoists in the temple would occasionally go down the mountain to buy goods.
But later, the Taoist temple closed its gates, there were fewer and fewer pilgrims, and Taoists stopped going down the mountain, so gradually no one remembered the existence of this Taoist temple.
The old man had been to Changmu Temple and was very impressed by the tree. Just as Jing Yue described, it was covered with red strings of pilgrims' wishes and the branches were as thick as arms covered with fleshy lumps.
Later, the spies from Juan Yu Pavilion touched the location of Changmu Temple, but did not get close. They only took a look at the surrounding trees with a telescope, determined the tree's shape, and then sent back the news.
At this moment, Jing Yue and his party had arrived in a dense forest outside Changmu Temple.
The Yamen hired two Kuaishou from the Supervision Department of the Second Realm and an official from the Third Realm to handle the case. The rest were Jing Yue, the eldest lady and a few elite members of the gang.
If this Taoist temple is really filled with evil spirits as Jing Yue learned before, then the ordinary people's hands are just to deliver food, or they are a burden.
In fact, they encountered a setback before they even arrived at the Taoist temple. An elite female member of the Chunfeng Gang who was born with supernatural powers was bitten by a silver snake. She had to inject poison there to heal her wounds, and one person was left to take care of her.
So fewer people came here.
At this time, the official from the Supervision Department had begun to formulate a plan. His plan was to investigate first and then arrest.
If we act rashly and alert the enemy, the hostages inside may be harmed.
Of course, it is an optimistic guess that the hostages are still alive.
Obviously, Jing Yue, who was good at sneaking, was one of the candidates to go investigate.
Beside the grass-spreading path, a female elite with natural supernatural power was holding back the poison with her face flushed red. Next to her was another female elite who was good at sneak attacks with crossbows.
The female elite was very cautious, holding a crossbow and looking around to protect the safety of her companions.
This mountain is really evil. There are very few silver-ringed venomous snakes, and her companions can accidentally step into the nest.
At this time, her ears twitched and she lay on the ground, looking wary.
The elite Wonder Woman noticed her change and asked, "What's wrong?"
"No! There is a four-legged beast a mile away, carrying something strange. It may be an evil spirit." The female elite who is good at crossbows said nervously.
The next moment, a nice voice sounded - "Maybe the strange thing you are talking about is me.".
The female elite looked up and saw a girl in a bright red dress riding a horse.
Her companion, who was born with supernatural powers, couldn't help but look at her awkwardly.
You call this immortal being a four-legged beast carrying a strange thing?
The next moment, the innate divine power changed his mind and thought of the second level.
No, I suddenly saw a beautiful woman in this barren mountain. Maybe she is really evil.
As a result, at this time, the beauty in red had already spoken: "Are you from the Yamen or the Chunfeng Gang?"
Seeing that the two of them were still confused, Ye Ning threw out her badge and said, "I'm here to help from the Taichu Sect. Where is Duan Yu?"
After discovering that the other party was from Taichu Cult, the two elites suddenly felt a lot more at ease.
Taichu Sect has an excellent reputation in Yunzhou.
The poisoned elite pointed forward and said, "They should have arrived at Changmu Temple."
"How to go?"
"The road is marked."
"Okay, come with me. Besides, why is it so troublesome to force someone to poison you?"
Saying that, Ye Ning lifted the poisoned female elite onto the horse and slapped her roughly on the shoulder.
The next moment, poisonous blood flew like arrows.
Seeing the two people disappearing on horseback, the elite man holding the crossbow finally reacted.
"what about me?"
"Hey, what about me?"
"I don't want to stay here alone."
As she said that, she chased after him.
