Chapter 1359: Arrive in Heyuan County
"Brother Feng'er, what happened? Why did I fall asleep all of a sudden?"
Li Lizhi woke up slowly and covered her head and said.
"Sister Changle was exhausted and just drank a little more, so she fell asleep!" said Li Chengfeng.
"Ha..." Wu Xu also sat up after beating Hache.
"My head hurts so much. This wine is really strong!" Wu Xu said.
She had no doubts at all, just thought that the wine in this store was too strong, so she drank too much.
"Okay, okay, let's continue to eat. When we are full, we have to hurry up!"
Fan Meng, who had never been confused, added two pieces of roast chicken to the two of them and said with a smile.
The two of them hadn't eaten a few bites, but they were still very hungry now.
After being reminded by Fan Meng, the two of them started to eat with their bowls in their arms, but they didn't continue drinking.
Xuanyi and Xuan Er were taking a group of friends to have dinner, as if nothing had happened just now.
Two quarters of an hour later, the group had enough food and returned to the carriage.
Li Chengfeng called Xuan Yi before getting into the car: "You go to Heyuan County first and rent a large yard to settle down."
As he said that, he took out a small piece of gold from his arms and handed it to Xuan Yi.
Xuan nodded. They were numerous, so it would be inconvenient to stay in the inn.
What's more, they don't know what's going on in Heyuan County now.
If a large group of people came over together, it would be hard not to pay attention.
It would be better to let Xuan Yi go to rent a house, saying that the caravan would stay for a few days temporarily, so it would be much more reasonable for Li Chengfeng and the others to go there again.
"Then I'll leave first, young master!" Xuan Yi clasped his fists and left the convoy.
Li Chengfeng was sitting in the carriage and thinking about the matter in Heyuan County.
Who is plundering girls, and why is the county magistrate unwilling to accept such cases?
Fortunately, Heyuan County was not far away, and the group walked until the evening and arrived outside Heyuan County.
Xuan Yi had been standing at the entrance of Heyuan County and waiting for a long time.
"Young Master, please see you if you have something to do!" Xuan Yi walked to the carriage and said.
Li Chengfeng walked out of the carriage and came to Xuan Yi: "Tell me!"
Xuan Yi said: "I arrived in Heyuan Town three hours ago and found it was very strange."
"I didn't see any women on the street, they were all men!"
"Peals on the road were staring at me. Although there were many restaurants on the street, the doors were closed!"
"This is a key road to Chang'an, no matter what, it shouldn't be like this!"
"When I went to rent a house, people didn't rent it after hearing my accent."
"In the end, I begged for a long time before an old lady was willing to rent it to me."
Li Chengfeng nodded. It seems that it is not just the problem of the girl's disappearance behind this Heyuan County!
"It's okay, let's settle down first and wait and see what's going on!" said Li Chengfeng.
"Yes!" Xuan bowed slightly and took Li Chenfeng and the others all the way to the rented house.
When I passed by Heyuan County Street, there were no pedestrians on the street, and the whole street seemed like a haunted one.
As soon as the few people walked to the house that Xuan Yi rented, an old lady rushed to the Chenghuang Temple.
Xuan Yi quickly grabbed her and asked the situation: "Old man, what are you doing?"
The old man seemed a little impatient, but when he saw the person behind Xuan Yi, he still said it all in detail.
"There are more and more children who have disappeared recently, and the county magistrate's wife organized to recite Buddhist scriptures and pray for blessings in the Chenghuang Temple."
"I have to go over quickly, you guys don't care!"
After the old man finished speaking, he shook Xuan Yi's hand away and left without looking back.
Xuan Yi was confused, but he didn't say much about it now and it is more important to settle down.
The group entered the rented house, and Wu Xu and the others walked out of the carriage.
"I finally have a place to live, and the carriage is almost distracting me!"
Li Lizhi twisted her neck from the carriage and said happily.
"Let's go, let's go in first!" Li Chengfeng said with a smile.
Li Chengfeng, Li Lizhi and other girls walked into the courtyard together and each set up their own rooms.
At this time, Li Chengfeng changed into a young man and walked out of the room with a simple outfit.
He heard it in the carriage just now. Everyone in the county went to the Chenghuang Temple, so he had to go over and take a look.
How could a county magistrate’s wife take the lead in praying for blessings? Even if there is, the county magistrate should take the lead!
What's more, the Tang Dynasty respected Taoism, so how could the family members of an official chant the Buddhist scriptures?
Li Chengfeng quietly left the courtyard and groped all the way to the Chenghuang Temple.
From a distance he could hear bells and chanting scriptures.
When we walked to the entrance of the City God Temple, two guards held hands at the door.
"What are you doing?" The guard stopped Li Chengfeng who was about to walk in.
"Didn't it mean that someone here prays for blessings? I came here to recite scriptures for my children!"
The guard looked at Li Chengfeng: "This has begun, why are you here now?"
"Isn't there some work at home? It's convenient for you to do it!"
Li Chengfeng said as he took out two taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the guard at the door.
The guard smiled and stopped Li Chengfeng from putting him in.
Walking into the City God Temple, Li Chengfeng was filled with county people sitting cross-legged.
And in front of them stood a woman in red wearing a mask.
The woman said something: "The old mother without birth is empty, her hometown is vacuum..."
The woman's words are transmitted to everyone present through internal forces.
Li Chengfeng noticed something was wrong and used his internal force to isolate the woman's voice.
The county people did not have the pure inner part as pure as Li Chengfeng. Their eyes were empty and they murmured with the woman reading the strange Buddhist scriptures word by word.
"It seems that these people have been brainwashed by the White Lotus Sect!" Li Chengfeng thought to himself.
He was familiar with history and naturally knew that the old mother Wusheng was an important symbol of the White Lotus Sect.
In this way, all kinds of strange things in the county town before can be understood.
The White Lotus Sect is brainwashing these people. What exactly do they want to do?
Li Chengfeng looked around at other places in the City Defense Temple, and several martial arts people were following him.
Li Chengfeng was a little hesitant whether to take action immediately.
Now, you may be able to catch one or two White Lotus scholars.
But in this way, all the missing children and the clues of the White Lotus Sect will disappear.
Just as Li Chengfeng was hesitating, the sound of chanting stopped.
The woman in red who brought the people to chant scriptures was gone.
"Dear uncles and aunts, please give in!" Li Chengfeng decided to check the situation first.
He squeezed all the way to the front and saw that the people were wearing official uniforms.
Next to him, there was a beautiful young woman chanting Buddhist scriptures with him.
The county magistrate was also brainwashed. No wonder he brought people to pray for blessings even though he did not investigate the missing case.
The county magistrate of Heyuan County was standing in front of the people, and he even held a strange handprint in his hand, and the enthusiastic people greeted him.
Li Chengfeng did not take action after all. He secretly left here while the crowd was in chaos.
After rushing back to where they settled, this matter involved the White Lotus Sect. If you don’t move, you will be uprooted.
Back in the room, Li Chengfeng sat in the room and thought about the countermeasures carefully.
At this moment, a knock on the door sounded: "Young Master, Fan Meng is here to bring you tea!"
