"Qingxuan, you will take these three distinguished guests to visit Daming Mansion."
The young Taoist priest Qingxuan showed a trace of resistance, obviously not wanting to take on this job. Xuan Chengzi's eyes widened, and Qingxuan saw that the master was about to get angry and could only nod helplessly.
"Yes, master."
All the interactions between the master and the disciple fell into the eyes of Li Jie and the three of them. The first impression given by the little Taoist Qingxuan was that of cleanliness, as pure and flawless as a newly born baby. It made people feel very comfortable, and they would unconsciously
Generating a sense of closeness is simply a natural seed for spiritual cultivation.
There is a special charm in every move of Xuan Chengzi. In Li Jie's eyes, he is like an old man without martial arts. How can a master with such a good martial arts skills as an apprentice not know martial arts? There is only one possibility, that is, Xuan Chengzi is already a master of martial arts.
To reach the state of returning to nature, all the people in the world who can reach this state are martial arts masters.
The incense in Qingyan Temple is not very strong, and I didn't see many pilgrims on the way here. There are only a few Taoist boys in the entire Taoist temple except Master and Disciple Xuanchengzi. They live an extremely poor life. Perhaps only in this way can I study Taoism without any distractions.
Classics are used as materials for advancement in martial arts. After innateness, if you want to go further, you must rely more on enlightenment. A little hard work cannot make people enter the realm of a master.
Clouds filled the valley, the moon shone in the sky, and a group of five horsemen marched on the official road like the wind and lightning.
The leader, a middle-aged man, wore a light blue robe, and his face showed the color of weather because he had been traveling day and night. He was riding on horseback, his face was as dark as water, and he looked into the distance with his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
The four knights behind him were all dressed in black. The leader was Yuan Nong, the helmsman of the ground and air subdivision, and the other four were his confidants. The group of people rushed to Daming Mansion day and night without stopping.
"Hurry, hurry up, rush to Daming Mansion, and make sure to find out the traces of those three people before the Dharma King arrives!"
Yuan Nong swung his whip wildly, not caring that the healthy horses under his feet were already foaming at the mouth. They had already killed two horses in order to rush on the road. When they set off, there were three horses per person, two horses were killed, and the remaining horses were killed.
Pi estimated that he would be almost exhausted when he arrived at Daming Mansion. If he continued to rush like this, he might die before he could make it to Daming Mansion.
"Master, the horse can't bear it anymore. Why don't you take a rest? This place is less than a hundred miles away from Daming Mansion. If the horse dies, it will delay the time."
Yuan Nong glanced at the sitting horse, sighed helplessly and waved his hand: "Take a rest for an hour!"
Leng Wufeng is one of the four Dharma Kings of the Demon Cult. His status is so high that he, a small character like him, cannot disobey him. Yuan Nong does not want to rush so hard, but due to Leng Wufeng's order, he has to do so.
, the demon sect has a strict hierarchy and numerous rules and regulations. If Yuan Nong does not work carefully, there will not be a good thing waiting for him.
"Master, has the Dharma King told you before about when he will arrive in Daming Mansion? Daming Mansion has a large population. It may not be easy to find those three people in a short time with our current power alone."
Before the imperial court's attack, it would have been relatively simple to find a few people in Daming Mansion with the power controlled by the ground and air division. However, after the last attack, the peripheral organizations suffered heavy losses, and the intelligence network was almost uprooted, leaving only
There are some core members.
The ground and air force divided into three groups and went to various directions to investigate. Yuan Nong, as the helmsman, went to Daming Mansion, which was the most likely place.
Since there were only fifteen people accompanying them when they went to the Wilderness Inn to investigate, they were first divided into three groups to track them separately. The deputy helmsman was responsible for gathering the rest of the congregation and then assigning tasks.
"His Holiness will arrive at Daming Mansion in about four days."
"What? Then don't we only have three days to investigate? How can we investigate it in such a short time?"
Yuan Nong glanced at Gu Cheng'an angrily. If this guy hadn't been his brother-in-law, he would have slapped him in the face. He yelled and yelled without any courtesy at all.
"I have my own way. When the time comes, I will ask the Zhao family of Daming Prefecture to help us investigate together. The Zhao family is the local gangster of Daming Prefecture. It is difficult to hide the troubles in the city from them."
Something about the Zhao family fell into the hands of Yuan Nong. Fortunately, he had not had in-depth contact with the Zhao family before, otherwise the Zhao family would not have been able to escape the last blow from the court.
Gu Cheng'an's eyes lit up when he heard this. He didn't expect that his brother-in-law had a hidden agenda. Although Yuan Nong's status in the church was not high and he was just the helmsman of the sub-rudder, the power of the local ground-air sub-rudder was not small. Gu Chengan's
So being able to live such a prosperous life has something to do with Yuan Nong. If his sister hadn't married Yuan Nong, he, Gu Chengan, would probably still be hanging out on the streets. He wouldn't be as happy as he is now, so he didn't care about this matter.
His attention is no less than that of Yuan Nong.
"Great! Brother-in-law is really awesome!"
Yuan Nong smiled nonchalantly. Although his brother-in-law had some flaws in some aspects of his hobbies, he did not like yellow-flowered girls but preferred virtuous women. She usually wiped his butt, but he was loyal to him and ordered
Things are always done without compromise.
"Okay, let's take a rest and regain our strength. We'll be very busy in the next few days."
In the early morning, the sun had just risen, and the dewdrops on the weeds on the roadside were shining brightly. Yuan Nong and others hurried into the city as soon as the city gate opened.
He was familiar with it, and he looked a little tired after driving all night, but he didn't care about so much at this time. The most important thing at the moment was to go to Zhao's house first and let them help find out the news, and then he could rest assuredly for a while.
They had been traveling day and night for the past two days, which was a bit too much even for the warrior's strong body. All five of them looked tired.
The Zhao family is a well-known large family in Damingfu City. Even the local government will give the Zhao family a lot of respect. The front door is very easy to recognize.
The concierge of the Zhao Mansion saw that Yuan Nong and his party were obviously coming to the Zhao Mansion, so he took the initiative to step forward and asked.
"Everyone, I don't know why you came to my Zhao Mansion?"
Yuan Nong and his party were all dressed as knights and knights, and they had a cold and stern air about them. The concierge couldn't help but mutter to himself that they were not here to cause trouble.
"I am here to pay a special visit to the head of the Zhao family. My name is Wei Wuya. All you need to do is tell the head of the Zhao family that an old friend is coming to visit and tell me my name."
The concierge didn't look like he was looking for trouble when he saw Yuan Nong, and judging from his determined attitude, he was probably an old friend of the family owner, and he didn't dare to neglect him at the moment.
"Sir, wait a moment. I'm going to report to the head of the family. Please take a break and drink some hot tea in the living room next to me."
Yuan Nong nodded, and another concierge led the five people to the living room.
This was exactly the time for breakfast. Zhao Dehai and his family members were having breakfast in the dining room. The concierge came to the dining room and spoke.
"Master, a man calling himself Wei Wuya came to the house and said he wanted to see you. He said he was your old friend."
Zhao Dehai's face changed slightly when he heard the name. He had already guessed Wei Wuya's identity. Unsurprisingly, he should be a member of the Demon Cult. He suddenly disappeared after the imperial court attacked the Demon Cult. He thought Wei Wuya was dead, but he didn't.
Thinking that the other party was still alive and it was broad daylight, he came to the door.
The Demon Sect has always been a key target of the imperial court. Last time, the Qian and Wang families were directly confiscated by the Jin Yiwei because they were involved with the Demon Sect. Zhao Dehai couldn't help but shudder when he thought of this. Although the Demon Sect is a behemoth, but his own small arms
The calf couldn't withstand the torment. If the other party hadn't held the handle, Zhao Dehai would have wanted to hide behind closed doors.
"I know, I'll go over right away."
Zhao Dehai hurriedly finished the remaining steamed buns on the plate and got up and rushed to the living room. This was the first time that Zhao Su saw his father acting so gloomy. In his usual impression, his father always looked confident no matter what he did.
I couldn't help but feel a little curious about my identity.
"Brother Dehai, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?"
Although Zhao Dehai was not happy about Yuan Nong's direct visit, he still replied with a smile on the surface: "You're welcome, where has Brother Wuya been during this time? It's easy for me to find him. I don't know why he came here this time.
What's the matter? As long as I, Zhao Dehai, can help, just give me your orders."
Yuan Nong smiled slightly. This Zhao Dehai was indeed aware of current affairs. He had already prepared for Zhao Dehai to fall out before he came. It would be better now to avoid him having to resort to other means. He said with a smile on his face.
"Haha, I don't have to come to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I came here this time to ask for something. Brother Dehai, don't worry, this matter is easy for you, and I will not embarrass you."
Zhao Dehai breathed a sigh of relief. Since the other party said so, it shouldn't be something too dangerous. He said in a deep voice: "I don't know what it is?"
Yuan Nong told him about the missing person and the deduced characteristics, especially the situation of Mr. Wuhen. The only one among the three who confirmed his identity was Mr. Wuhen. He still had no idea about the identities of the other two.
I don’t know, the Dharma King mainly wanted to find Mr. Wuhen, but the other two were just incidental.
"Brother Wuya, it's possible that Mr. Wuhen came to Daming Mansion alone, or it's possible that three people came together. The time should have been a few days ago."
Only then did Zhao Dehai really feel relieved. He was just looking for someone. This matter was indeed not difficult for the Zhao family.
"Brother Wuya, don't worry. Give me two days. As long as the other party has been to Daming Mansion, I will definitely be able to find out their whereabouts. By the way, I see that you guys have a tired look on your face. You must be in a hurry. Do you want me to arrange a place for you to rest?
One or two?”
Under normal circumstances, Yuan Nong would definitely not live in the Zhao Mansion, but he was really tired from traveling for days and didn't want to spend time looking for a new place to live, so he accepted Zhao Dehai's invitation.
When Zhao Dehai saw this, he was secretly angry. It was all because of his bad mouth. Why did he say this when he had nothing to do? He was just being polite. He didn't expect that the other party really agreed. He had already said the words, so he had to bite the bullet and call the servants.
Several rooms were arranged for them.
After everything was settled, Zhao Dehai called the housekeeper and asked him to mobilize people to investigate the whereabouts of these people. After listening to the master's description, the housekeeper found that the characteristics of these people were very similar to the three people the young master had ordered to check before, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Hey, sir, I know the whereabouts of these people."
Zhao Dehai said in surprise: "Oh? How do you know the whereabouts of these people?"
The housekeeper then told the story of the grievances between the young master and Li Jie and his party. Zhao Dehai was shocked when he heard that the other party had a good relationship with the Taoist priest Xuanchengzi of Qingyanguan outside the city.
If you don't know what he is capable of, for the Zhao family, who is a wealthy family, you naturally know what he is capable of.
Grandmasters are not cabbages. There are only dozens of masters in the world, and each one of them is a great person. Zhao Dehai has always wanted to find opportunities to make friends with Xuan Chengzi since he knew that he came to Daming Mansion, but he has always struggled with the lack of opportunities.
I didn't know what to do, and I didn't expect that a small missing person matter could involve a grand master.
Zhao Dehai regretted a little. If he guessed correctly, Wei Wuya was a member of the Demon Cult. He would never find anyone for no reason. He must have wanted to cause trouble for these three people. Moreover, the other party did not do anything to cover up his visit today.
He came in a big way, and the key point was that he stayed in the house. If something happened afterwards, he just slapped his butt and left. However, the Zhao family has a great business and it is absolutely impossible to escape.
After thinking hard for a long time, Zhao Dehai decided to tell Yuan Nong the whereabouts of the three people. There are many people in the demon sect who know whether the other party will learn about it through other means. If he deliberately conceals it and does not report it, he will inevitably endanger the other party, but he still
You should warn the other party that if you really want to take action, it's better to pretend.
He had thought up all the excuses. A living Zhao Dehai was far more useful than a dead one. His small body could not bear the Grandmaster's anger. If the leverage in Yuan Nong's hands hadn't been too deadly, he would have really wanted to report him directly to the government.
Yuan Nong felt refreshed after waking up from his sleep. What made him even more happy was that he found traces of the three young masters Wuhen.
'The Zhao family's work efficiency is very high. It seems that we can focus on one or two in the future.'
A few days later, Quantian Dharma King Leng Wufeng arrived at Daming Mansion. Yuan Nong had already prepared the other courtyard to welcome the Dharma King.
Leng Wufeng learned that Yuan Nong had found out the traces of Mr. Wuhen and his party, and was very satisfied with Yuan Nong's efficiency.
"They and their group have been visiting Daming Mansion these days?"
Yuan Nong said: "Yes, Dharma King, but the person who led them on the tour is Xuanchengzi's disciple."
"snort!"
Leng Wufeng snorted heavily. Naturally, the relationship between Xuan Chengzi and Mr. Wuhen’s master, Old Man Tianxing, could not be hidden from the Demon Sect. Although he was born with Dzogchen Perfection and half of his feet had already entered the realm of a master, after all, he was not yet a master.
Grandmaster, if you really want to face an established grandmaster like Xuan Chengzi, you will definitely lose but never win.
However, Mr. Wuhen and his party have been out traveling during this period. As long as he finds the right opportunity, he can still win it at his own expense. Mr. Wuhen's reputation as the invincible among his peers cannot scare him.
"Wuhen, have you ever felt that someone has been spying on you in the past few days?"
Pu Xing said: "Master, are you there? Why didn't I feel it at all?"
Mr. Wuhen thought he was too sensitive, but he didn't expect that his friend Zhu Wuli had the same feeling as him. It seemed that someone was really following them, and the tracking method of the other party was very clever. If he hadn't been superior in spiritual sense, he might not have been able to find it.
, so he nodded and said solemnly.
"Well, could it be the scholar surnamed Zhao whom we offended last time?"
Li Jie shook his head. They already knew the identity of the scholar. He was the eldest son of the Zhao family of Daming Mansion. Compared with the people who were under surveillance before, the people following this time were obviously more professional, and their qi was hidden better than the previous ones.
People need to be much wiser.
"It doesn't look like it. The people monitoring this time are obviously not the same as the last time. Although the Zhao family has strong financial resources and wide connections, it is not commendable in terms of force, and there is no need to mobilize so many experts for a small conflict.
Surveillance."
In order to avoid alerting others, people in the demon sect specially mobilized a large number of followers to conduct rotating surveillance. It happened that this made Li Jie suspicious. Could it be that the Zhao family would send out all the masters in the family to follow them just because of a quarrel?
