To the east of the official road, there is a stretch of rolling hills, running almost in the same direction as the official road.
Ma Chao led the group under his command at night. Afraid of being discovered by Qin Shaoyou and others, he did not take the official route, but walked through the hills, using the cover of trees and terrain to follow and watch from a high position.
At this moment, seeing a group of people coming to join Qin Shaoyou, Qin Qiaoer and the others, Ma Chao took out a monocular telescope named "Clear Eye" from his arms with a gloomy face. He wanted to see what they had been looking for for many days but couldn't find it. What does the person you find look like?
On this bronze clairvoyance, circles of mysterious runes are engraved on it, forming a pattern similar to an eye. Although this clairvoyance is not a supernatural item, it can still allow the user to... See clearly people and objects far away.
With the help of clairvoyance, Ma Chao quickly saw Monk Ma and Gunshan Jun.
After all, both the human and the demon are so huge that it is difficult not to notice them.
After Ma Chao saw their appearance clearly, his expression instantly became very ugly.
Because Ma Chao had seen these two guys in previous search operations.
He even had a conversation with Monk Ma.
The place where Monk Ma is hiding is in a temple.
In that temple, besides him, there were also some people fleeing the war.
And Ma Chao found that the people beside Monk Ma looked a little familiar, as if they had seen them among the people who fled the war.
In fact, when Ma Chao discovered Monk Ma and others, it was not that he had not done any investigation. However, Monk Ma was very clear when talking about Buddhist scriptures, and he had a vague sense of Buddha nature in his body. He did not look like a court eagle dog.
Moreover, at that time, Monk Ma also borrowed the name of Monk Daoming.
Although Ma Chao and others have never met Monk Daoming, they have heard that there is indeed a monk named Daoming in Xinglong Mansion who helps the victims bring ashes back to their hometown for burial.
Looking at Monk Ma again, he really looked like an enlightened monk, so I believed 70% to 80% of his identity.
The few red-clothed envoys who were hiding among the people hiding from the war did not know what method they used to cover up their cultivation. They all behaved timidly and cowardly. They also spoke with the accent of Qingtang Wei, so they were not called They were suspicious.
I never expected that the monks in the temple and the beggar-like fleeing people were all disguised as red-clad messengers!
As for the iron-eating beast, Ma Chao gritted his teeth in hatred.
This guy is directly entrenched in a mountain not far outside Qingtang Acropolis. He has also subdued the demons in the mountain, forcing those demons not to do harmful things, but to follow him to help those in the villages down the mountain who have not yet Those who have escaped and those who have nowhere to escape must repair their houses and walls to resist the attacks of other monsters and ghosts.
At first, the people in the village at the foot of the mountain were all frightened by these monsters that behaved abnormally, because they couldn't figure out what they wanted to do. They just thought that they were repairing the fences and walls to trap people. Get up and enjoy slowly.
It wasn't until later that when there were demons and ghosts that wanted to prey on these villagers, Gunshan Lord yelled about "merit" and "transcendence" and so on. He beat those demons and ghosts to death and surrendered, and did not commit any crime against the villagers. Only then did they call them this. The villagers believed that they were lucky enough to meet a group of good demons who chanted Buddha's name and ate vegetarian food. So they knelt down and burned incense in the mountains every day, hoping that these good demons could always protect them and never leave.
When Ma Chao was investigating the ambush of the red-clothed messenger, he only found it funny after hearing his subordinate Ye Buzuo report the incident.
He also mocked the villagers at that time, saying that they were ignorant people. They actually asked for blessings from monsters. What was the difference between asking for blessings from monsters and drinking poison to quench their thirst?
In Ma Chao's view, demons are demons, and they cannot bless the villagers for no reason. They must have hidden evil intentions! Maybe they just want to fatten up the villagers and then catch them and enjoy them.
However, he did not help the villagers exorcise demons and catch ghosts. He just conducted an investigation on Gunshan Jun and determined that it had nothing to do with the red-clothed messenger, so he stopped caring about the matter.
As for the conclusion that Gunshan Lord has nothing to do with the Red Envoy, Ma Chao also had sufficient reasons.
In the Demon Suppression Division, although there is a precedent for ordering demons and ghosts to be safe, Gunshan Jun's behavior is too high-profile, and he does not look like a red-clothed messenger lurking outside the city, waiting to reinforce his companions in the city.
In addition, during the recent period, due to the war in Qingtang, many demons and ghosts have been attracted to dominate the mountain and rule the land.
Although the behavior of this iron-eating beast was a bit weird, there were many weird monsters and it was not the only one, so Ma Chao did not doubt it too much.
Unexpectedly, the truth of the matter was to give Ma Chao a hard slap in the face.
Not only that monk, but also the few beggar-like refugees were Red-Clothed Messengers in disguise, even this iron-eating beast was actually a member of Red-Clothed Messengers.
"The Red Envoy really wants everyone. Children, Taoist priests, monks, demons and ghosts...are we going to develop gods as members next?" Ma Chao complained through gritted teeth.
Ye Busuang next to him wanted to answer the call, but he didn't know how to answer it, so he could only be embarrassed and didn't dare to speak.
Ma Chao put away his clairvoyance and continued to follow and monitor Qin Shaoyou, Qin Qiaoer and others until he was ready to greet his subordinate Ye Bu.
Suddenly a ray of breeze blew through the team.
Ma Chao felt a chill on his body, and Wu Fu's intuition made his hair stand on end for a moment. He felt frightened and hurriedly looked around, but found nothing. He only made his subordinates stay awake all night and looked at him with astonished eyes.
"Is it an illusion?" Ma Chao frowned and asked his subordinate Ye Bushou: "Did you feel anything just now?"
Ye Bushou all shook their heads and said they felt nothing.
"It seems like it's really an illusion. Could it be that you were too angry just now?"
Ma Chao found a reason for his feeling just now.
But soon, his expression changed again, and he hurriedly reached into his arms. After touching the listening horn, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Even so, he was still not completely relieved. He took out the Diting Horn again and kept it next to him all night long, letting him cut his palm and draw blood from it. Then he pointed the tip of the horn towards Qin Shaoyou, Qin Qiaoer and others, and asked Said: "Those people in front are the red-clothed envoys?"
A faint green light flashed above the listening horn.
Seeing this scene, Ma Chao was completely relieved.
"It seems like it's really an illusion."
Neither Ma Chao nor Ye BuZhou under his command noticed that the light wind that had just blown through their team was blowing along the woods on the hill towards Qin Shaoyou and Qin Shaoyou who were at the foot of the hill and on the official road. Qin Qiaoer and others.
