"Sir, this guy wanted to run away, but I caught him."
Monk Ma threw the thief with pain and fear at Qin Shaoyou's feet.
The freed thief wanted to run away, but he didn't dare because the group of 'mountain spirits' had already surrounded him.
He had already seen the strength of these 'mountain spirits' just now. Even if he was not injured, he could not break away from the siege. What's more, not only was his head smashed and his ribs were crushed, he also felt that his internal organs were also squeezed. Crushing.
He is not dead, he is already very close to death, how can he still have the strength to escape?
Not to mention, these 'mountain spirits' were still looking at him with malicious eyes, and even talked about him:
"This person seems to be from the Black Lotus, right?"
"Get rid of the smell. The smell of the cult monster on him is already pungent!"
"Tell me, if I kill this guy, can you come up with new dishes to add to our meal?"
When the thieves heard what these "mountain spirits" said and saw their hopeful expressions, they were trembling with fear and became more and more certain that they were spirits.
How could a normal person think of eating people?
Of course, in their Black Lotus Sect, there are also some people who practice secret arts and can cook people for food, but they are a minority after all.
The thief was thinking in a panic when he suddenly saw the leader of this group of 'mountain spirits' making a special gesture towards him.
That gesture was the secret code they used within the Black Lotus Sect to identify each other.
It turns out that these 'mountain spirits' are our own people? !
The thieves were immediately overjoyed, and before they had time to think about it, they were about to get close to Qin Shaoyou.
"So, Your Majesty, you are also a member of the church? How many years have you been a member of the church? Who is the leading mage? What achievements have you achieved? Maybe there is some connection between us."
Qin Shaoyou did not answer his question. After putting away his gesture, he sneered and said: "It seems that you are really from the Black Lotus Sect. Tell me, besides your team, how many Black Lotus Sect demons are there around?"
The thief was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had been deceived. It was only because he had been so distracted that he had forgotten that these 'mountain spirits' had killed all of his own people, and he still thought they were his own.
Although the thief was afraid of death, he was even more afraid of the Black Lotus Sect's punishment, so he kept his mouth shut and did not answer.
Qin Shaoyou did not torture him, but turned to Xue Xiaobao who was looking around on the horse and said: "Can you still speak the truth? Give him a 'know everything and tell everything'."
Xue Xiaobao immediately withdrew his gaze, smiled and accepted Qin Shaoyou's instructions, and gave the thief the interrogation buff of 'Know everything, tell everything'.
The thief's tightly closed mouth immediately loosened, and Qin Shaoyou didn't need to repeat the question, so he said obediently: "There are nearly a hundred people around Lishan, and there are more people in Guankou County, rushing to Lishan. After we discovered the target, we have already sent out a signal, and I believe that the people around Lishan will arrive soon and kill you all!"
When he said this, the thief's face was filled with fear and he wanted to cover his mouth, but he couldn't move his hands at all.
It wasn't that his hands didn't obey orders, but that the blood had entangled his hands and feet, making him unable to move.
"Nearly a hundred people? Are they all with your strength?" Qin Shaoyou asked, if they were all the same as the bandits just now, let alone nearly a hundred people, even if they doubled again, they wouldn't be able to see it.
But the thief said: "No, the people around are all formal believers of our Black Lotus Holy Cult. Among them are high-level Arhats, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, but they are not comparable to the group of people I led. They are simply They are not formal believers, but bandits who have been deceived by my preaching. Because they are familiar with the geographical terrain of Lishan, they were called to participate in the search. They were promised that after successfully finding the target, they could become formal believers and be taught the art of murderous practice. Then I went to the Land of Paradise... What did you do to me? Why didn't my mouth obey your orders? My Lord, Black Lotus Maitreya, I really don't want to answer these 'mountain spirit' questions. They all used evil magic to control me. mouth……"
"Evil magic? This is the orthodox Confucian mantra! Besides, you people from the Black Lotus cult, what qualifications do you have to say that others are using evil magic? And what the hell is a mountain spirit?"
Xue Xiaobao, who was riding on horseback, retorted angrily.
Qin Shaoyou had a clear idea of the temperament of the Black Lotus Sect and said with a sneer: "In the eyes of these Black Lotus Sect monsters, everyone else is a heretic, but he sees us as mountain spirits, and his eyes are indeed a bit blind. "
Then he glanced at Xue Xiaobao again and said, "Isn't your sword too heavy to carry? Let the monk hold it for you."
"No need, do your own thing, carry your own weapons, don't bother Uncle Ma." Xue Xiaobao quickly put the big sword into his arms, for fear of being taken away by Monk Ma.
Qin Shaoyou raised his eyebrows and saw through his intention, but he didn't reveal it. He winked at Sun Xianzong and told him to keep an eye on Xue Xiaobao, and then called everyone to move quickly.
The fighting just now was quite loud, and this group of people also sent out a signal. If they don't leave quickly, they will be entangled by the demons of the Black Lotus Sect, and it will be difficult to leave.
At the same time, he cross-examined the leader of the thief a few more times. Unfortunately, the leader of the thief did not have a high status in the Black Lotus Sect and did not know much information. Since the questioning could not reveal any important information, he was sentenced directly to avoid taking his disciples with him. Increase burden.
Jumping on the horse, Qin Shaoyou took a picture of Xue Xiaobao, who was looking around, and told him what he was thinking: "Don't even think about running away. If you can't run away, I will only catch you and spank your ass."
Xue Xiaobao was shocked, and then said with a smile: "Haha, uncle, what you said, how could I escape..."
Qin Shaoyou didn't believe what he said at all and just sneered.
The helpless Xue Xiaobao rolled his eyes and was about to threaten him. Unfortunately, before he could speak, Qin Shaoyou said first: "Don't threaten me with shaving your head in the first lunar month. I will shave your head on the last day of the twelfth lunar month and then give it to you." Put some medicine on your head and you won’t be able to grow hair for months.”
"Ah?" Xue Xiaobao was dumbfounded, as if he didn't expect his uncle to be so cruel.
Seeing his reaction, Qin Shaoyou was very proud and thought to himself, I still can't stand you? Do you really think I haven’t studied this issue in these days?
Although there were many questions in his mind, Qin Shaoyou did not question Xue Xiaobao at this time.
He shook the reins and drove the horse to Monk Ma's side.
During the transfer, Lao Zhangtou was handed over to the care of Monk Ma and was currently riding a war horse with him.
But Qin Shaoyou asked Wenzhu first: "How is he doing?"
"The fire poison is very serious. I used water from the Fulongguan Well and gave him some medicine to reduce the fire poison. Now the situation is a little better."
Wenzhu replied, and at the same time patted the little boy riding the same horse with her, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, your grandpa will be fine."
The little boy said nothing and nodded silently.
Qin Shaoyou looked at Lao Zhangtou.
Compared to before, Lao Zhangtou was in much better condition after taking the potion.
At least I can talk.
Before that, he was shaking with fever and was in a state of confusion. Even if he wanted to speak, he couldn't make a sound.
But at this moment, after listening to Wenzhu's words, he still managed to bow his hands on horseback and said weakly: "Thank you, Taoist Priest, for saving me. What is the relationship between Taoist Priest and Zhang Zhenren of Jade Emperor Temple?" "
"That's my mentor." Wenzhu replied.
"As expected." Lao Zhangtou showed an expression of "I guessed right" and praised: "Famous teachers give birth to great disciples."
Then, he turned his head and looked at Qin Shaoyou.
Before Qin Shaoyou could speak, he said first, "You must be the tiger of the Demon Suppression Department, Qin Shaoyou, Lord Qin, right?"
"Do you know me?" Qin Shaoyou asked.
Lao Zhangtou smiled: "In these days, I have heard of Master Qin's reputation."
Qin Shaoyou nodded and felt reassured. It seemed that even when he was hiding in the east, Lao Zhangtou did not forget to observe the talents from various places.
Maybe, even though he was far away from the court, he still knew all the situations in the court.
Qin Shaoyou stared at Lao Zhangtou, suddenly smiled, and asked in a low voice: "What about your Excellency? Should I call you Lao Zhangtou, or should I call you Eunuch Qin?"
Hearing this, Lao Zhangtou's calm face finally showed a hint of surprise.
