After Qin Shaoyou put the statue of Jiutiandang Mo Patriarch on his back in a bamboo basket, he went to put a stick of incense on Confucius Temple, Lingguan Temple and Wei Tuo Temple respectively, and put away the bowls.
The Shenxin soup in the bowl is no longer golden at this time, and has lost its alluring aroma, simply because the essence in the soup has been sucked out and turned into boring white water.
Qin Shaoyou poured out the water, put away the bowl, turned around, and once again told the second sister to have a good rest and wait to see her again in a few days, then pulled Xue Xiaobao to leave.
When leaving, Qin Shaoyou always felt that something was missing.
Just as he was thinking about it, a "whining" sound came from his mouth that was covered, and reached his ears.
Only then did Qin Shaoyou remember that something was missing.
He quickly turned back and cupped his hands towards Zhang Wuzhen: "Zhenzhen Zhang, please put Brother Cui down and let him go with me."
Master Zhang slapped his forehead, and it was only at this moment that he remembered that his apprentice who could cure hypotension was still hanging upside down from a tree. He quickly snapped his fingers and saw that the branches and vines that were entangled and bound Senior Brother Cui were quickly loosened.
Cui Youyou fell directly from the tree.
Fortunately, his cultivation level was not low and he reacted quickly. He twisted and turned in mid-air and landed firmly without falling like a dog eating shit.
It's a pity that almost everyone present can do this kind of thing, and it didn't attract applause.
On the contrary, if Senior Brother Cui really fell into a trap, everyone might be surprised.
"Take this, it's a good idea to follow Mr. Qin, but don't cause trouble, otherwise I will have to expel you from the Jade Emperor Temple."
Zhang Wuzhen waved his hand and helped Cui Youyan keep the divine heart soup to fly out steadily.
Cui Youyou had been craving for this mouthful for a long time. Just now, everyone was drinking soup, but he was hanging upside down on a tree, with saliva flowing into his nose, and he almost choked to death.
After taking the divine heart soup, Senior Brother Cui drank it all in one gulp, still a little unfinished. However, after glancing at the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch carried by Qin Shaoyou, he finally did not dare to shout for another bowl. He said to Master Zhang: "Don't worry, if I want to cause trouble, I will definitely expose you."
This scene of master's kindness and disciple's filial piety shocked the surrounding officials and monks.
When Qin Shaoyou and the others were leaving, Zuo Zixiong and Cen Biqing also left with the surviving night watchmen.
The dead night watchmen were temporarily buried in the valley. They would move their graves later and send them back to their hometown.
The reason for this was because those night watchmen either died from the mouths of the emperor's zombies, or were hooked out and crushed by the mad god's heart with its strange heartbeat.
The characteristics of these two causes of death are very distinct. Once Emperor Jianwu and his cronies saw them, they would immediately guess that they were involved in the matter at the royal tomb.
But now, it's not time to be exposed, so we can only tolerate these sacrificed night watchmen and sleep in the valley for the time being.
When Qin Shaoyou and the others came out of Wuzhao Mountain, it was already noon and the sky was bright.
Outside the mountain, teams of editors from the editing factory, night watchmen from the Demon Suppression Department, and soldiers from the guard station were searching and patrolling everywhere, and setting up points to check on passers-by.
Mountainous areas like Wuzhao Mountain are key areas for search and investigation.
When Qin Shaoyou and the others came out of the mountain, they saw soldiers from a nearby guard station, led by their generals, entering the mountain to search.
Qin Shaoyou and the others hid in the dark, sizing up the situation, and whispered: "It seems that Emperor Jianwu, this faint king, still has some power around the capital."
Zuo Zixiong whispered to Qin Shaoyou:
"All military officials inside and outside the capital have been replaced by Emperor Jianwu in the past few years, and they have all been replaced by people who obey his orders. These people may not be as strong and capable, but they are loyal to Emperor Jianwu. Calls itself an imperialist party.”
Obviously, Emperor Jianwu did this because he was aware of what he had done in these years, which had made people angry, and he was afraid that someone in the court would be unfavorable to him, so he made arrangements in advance.
And this was one of the reasons why the officials in the valley did not rush Si Xiu back to the capital and abolish the establishment.
Qin Shaoyou, Zuo Zixiong and others parted ways after leaving Wuzhao Mountain.
Zuo Zixiong and others planned to find a Black Lotus den and stage a bloody battle to explain the reasons for the casualties and disappearances.
Qin Shaoyou took Cui Yougui and rushed to Xu County.
As for Xue Xiaobao, Qin Shaoyou asked him to find his classmates and told him not to run around.
And because he was afraid that Xue Xiaobao would be disobedient, Qin Shaoyou specially asked him to release the fox demon and female ghost hidden in the book, and carefully gave instructions to these Xue Xiaobao's confidants, telling them to keep an eye on Xue Xiaobao and not to call this The boy also engaged in some suicide deeds and promised that whoever did well would be able to speak kindly to the third sister when they returned to Luocheng.
Several of Xue Xiaobao's confidants were successfully manipulated.
After watching Xue Xiaobao leave, Qin Shaoyou took Cui Yougui and rushed to Xu County using earth escape skills.
Along the way, there were people from the Demon Suppression Department and the Editing Factory using supernatural objects to detect spells such as escape and invisibility, but they were discovered in advance and bypassed them in time without exposing their whereabouts.
Returning to the prison of Xu County Town Demon Division, they both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Zhu Xiucai and others.
After checking the code words and confirming that the two people in front of him were really Qin Shaoyou and Cui Yougui, and not someone else pretending to be someone else, Zhu Xiucai said: "My lord, you are finally back. The movement at Wang Ling last night was Did you do it? Early this morning, the group of editors who were monitoring us bribed people from the Demon Department of Xu County Town. They wanted to know if we had escaped under their surveillance yesterday... …”
"Didn't they detect any flaws?" Qin Shaoyou asked. He was not surprised at all that there were informants from the editing factory in the Xu County Town Demon Department.
After all, not everyone is immune to the temptation of money and the coercion of power.
However, we have to find a way to eradicate these inner ghosts.
Zhu Xiucai shook his head and said: "No. Last night, after we noticed the strange movement at Wang Ling, we took your stand-in and left the prison. We also pretended to be your tone and ordered the chief flag officer of the Xu County Demon Town Department to take precautions. , and asked him to send people to the royal mausoleum to check the situation. All the people in the editing factory can find are evidence of your absence. "
"Well done." Qin Shaoyou gave a thumbs up and did not hesitate to praise him. "I left you to take charge in Xu County. As expected, I did not leave the wrong person."
"My lord, you are exaggerating." Zhu Xiucai said modestly, and then asked with concern: "My lord, have you rescued Prince Sixiu?"
This issue was not only of concern to Zhu Xiucai, but also to Master Ma, Zeng Cong, Tuhuang and others.
"I've been rescued. Let Senior Brother Cui tell you what happened later. You first tell me about the situation in Xu County in the past few days."
Although Qin Shaoyou did not elaborate on the incident, Zhu Xiucai, Monk Ma and others all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Sixiu was rescued.
Zhu Xiucai did not waste time and immediately gave Qin Shaoyou a detailed report on what they had done and said in Xu County in the past few days.
Qin Shaoyou and Cui Yougui both listened attentively. They must remember these things to avoid exposing any flaws.
What Qin Shaoyou didn't expect was that Zhu Xiucai actually brought him a surprise...
