Volume 1: Zhao Shanhe Chapter 53 Changes in the Zhao Family
Ji Yuan's expression changed suddenly, he stood up from the futon and rushed to Baiyun Temple immediately.
But as soon as the soles of his feet were lifted, they couldn't help but stop in the air, and finally stepped heavily on the spot.
Obviously, he has also reacted. Even if he rushes to Baiyun Temple at this time, he still cannot change what has happened. On the contrary, he will put himself in danger.
Even then, I am afraid that he will not only be facing the dangerous situation, but also Shen Lang, Zhao Yuansong and his junior brothers and sisters who are present.
"What happened to Baiyun Temple?"
Shen Lang stood up quickly, with a hint of anxiety on his brows.
Hearing the sound, Ji Yuan sighed: "I was negligent. I thought Huixin listened to my words and stayed in the temple for the past few days to practice quietly."
"But when I thought about Hui Xin just now, my state of mind was like a strong wind and huge waves, and I suddenly realized that if he really listened to my words, he would not be the Hui Xin I knew."
When Zhao Yuansong and others were still confused and could not understand the meaning of his words, Shen Lang on the side immediately showed a look of surprise.
The three of them have known each other for six or seven years, and they know each other very well. They understood the meaning of Ji Yuan's words as soon as they heard it.
Although he didn't understand what he said to Huixin, based on Shen Lang's understanding of that "dead-hearted man", if the other party heard about what happened in the county this day, there would be absolutely no chance that there would be no movement at all.
At the very least, they would run to Xuantian Temple or go to the slums to find one of him and Ji Yuan.
But now that there is no news about Huixin, coupled with the current situation in the city, it is not difficult to guess that something happened in Baiyun Temple.
"What should we do now? Go directly to Baiyun Temple?"
Xu Qiqi's eyes lit up and he looked eager to try.
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of people looked at Shen Lang subconsciously. It was obvious that the other party's previous inferences had gained everyone's trust.
But at this moment, the embarrassed scholar was looking at the little Taoist priest who was meditating hard, waiting for him to speak.
Seeing this, several people felt a little surprised. They followed Shen Lang's gaze and all fell on Ji Yuan.
"Xuan Tian Guan may have been targeted."
After pondering for a long time, he frowned and said, "Perhaps at the beginning, or perhaps after Fellow Daoist Zhao arrived. In short, if I am the one behind the scenes, I will definitely send people here to keep an eye on me."
After all, regardless of whether it was a coincidence or not, it was because of people like them that the prostitution temple that had been planned for hundreds of years was discovered and finally destroyed by the county government.
Even if he refrains from retaliating for the time being, as a planner, he will definitely send people to keep an eye on this place, lest these people ruin his plan again.
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for just a few of us to make a difference. We must find some help."
Ji Yuan raised his head and said solemnly: "Fellow Taoist, I need your help!"
Hearing this, Zhao Yuansong's face straightened, he nodded without hesitation, and said that if necessary, just ask.
He nodded slightly, but he was really rude and said directly: "Please, fellow Taoist Zhao, go to the City God's Temple. You don't have to go deep into it, but you must find out what's going on inside."
"In addition, I would also like to ask Fellow Daoist Zheng to go to the Three Swordsmen Association and visit Xu Liuqing, the leader of the Three Swordsmen Association, with my name card, explain the critical situation in the city at this moment, and ask him to help."
"Please, Fellow Daoist Li, take my letter and go out of the city to a place called Luohun Slope, and find a ghost cultivator named Song He."
Li Junxian and Zheng Wanrong clasped their fists at the same time and had no objection to this.
His eyes moved past the young man and girl who were eager to try and had a bit of expectation in their eyes. He looked at Shen Lang with a solemn expression: "I want to go to Zhao's house, so Baiyun Temple can only rely on you.
"
Shen Lang smiled slightly and told him to go to Zhao's house with peace of mind. As long as Huixin still had a breath, he would save him even if he risked his life.
As soon as these words came out, Ji Yuan immediately rolled his eyes, and he sighed three times before giving up.
"What about us?"
Jiang He took a step forward and looked at it very seriously.
Beside him, although Xu Qiqi didn't say anything, the expectation in his eyes became more and more intense.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan felt a little confused. He really didn't know how to arrange it. Although he didn't fully understand the true identity of the two people, he could naturally guess a thing or two through the attitudes of the other people.
.
If there are no accidents, Xu Qiqi and Jiang He must be the direct descendants of Jiuxuanmen, and they may even be a certain elder of the lineage, or the direct disciples of Zhangfeng.
With such a noble status, if something bad happens to them, even if they can survive the crisis in the city safely, the subsequent accountability of Jiuxuanmen will still kill people.
"Fellow Taoist, no matter what your assignment, if I, a disciple of the Jiu Xuan Sect, kills demons and eliminates demons, I will have no complaints even if I die."
Zhao Yuansong said in a deep voice, and said it bluntly, if the two people died because of slaying demons, the elders in the sect would only say that they died a well-deserved death. Even if there is any anger, it will only be vented on the perpetrator and will never implicate others.
.
In this way, Ji Yuan can safely arrange for the two of them.
"In that case, you can go with me to Zhao's house."
He looked at Xu Qiqi, who was naturally close to thunder magic and was the greatest deterrent to evil spirits.
And although Zhao Yuansong made it clear that if the two of them suffered any damage in the process of killing the evil spirits, the Jiuxuan Sect would not vent its anger on anyone else.
But just listen to this kind of words, and you can only believe half of them at most. If you really believe it, everything will be easy to say if nothing happens. If something does happen, you will inevitably be held accountable by Jiuxuanmen.
Only by taking it with him can Ji Yuan reduce some of his worries. After all, when it comes to trump cards, he is probably the safest among everyone.
"Since everything is arranged, shall we set off now?"
After Ji Yuan wrote a letter and handed it to Li Junxian solemnly, Zhao Yuansong asked.
Hearing this, Shen Lang immediately shook his head: "I'm afraid there are people watching outside the Taoist temple. We still need to be more cautious in our actions."
He looked towards the gate of the Taoist temple, and finally his eyes fell on the entrance of the alley in the distance, as if he was thinking about something, and there was often a flash of light in his eyes.
The two most critical points of this trip are the Zhao family where Ji Yuan went and the Chenghuang Temple where Zhao Yuansong went.
If the person behind the plot discovers their intentions, the other party will most likely find out what they are doing and either directly kill people or silence them, or start the plan in advance.
As for the lesser ones, such as the Three Swordsmen Club and Luohunpo asking for help, there is no need to worry about being discovered. At most, it will only arouse the suspicion of the people behind the scenes.
So after a while, Li Junxian and Zheng Wanrong left the Taoist temple in a hurry, heading towards the Three Swordsmen Association and the city gate respectively.
Under Shen Lang's instructions, they tried their best to pretend to be frightened. They observed their surroundings uneasily along the way and tried to stay away from places where people could easily hide.
But after the two figures gradually disappeared at the end of the street, nothing happened outside the Taoist temple, and no figure peeping in secret appeared.
After waiting for another half moment, Shen Lang cautiously came to the entrance of the alley, looked around with vigilant eyes, and after a long while, he rushed towards the direction of Baiyun Temple.
However, long after Shen Lang left, there was still no movement outside the Taoist temple. It seemed that they were simply overthinking it and no one had ever been watching here.
But it no longer matters whether there is anyone watching, because the rest of the people have already climbed over the wall behind the Taoist temple and quietly left the area.
"Why don't we all leave through the back wall from the beginning?"
On the way to Zhao's house, Xu Qiqi couldn't help but wonder, and asked in a low voice.
Ji Yuan, who was walking in front, smiled and explained in the same low voice: "If there is really someone watching, it cannot be a stupid person. If there is no movement in the Taoist temple for a long time, do you think they will find a way to spy on them?
?”
In this case, it is better to create some noise to distract their attention and make the people following him distracted to guess what the people who left earlier were doing.
Even if you don't know for sure, you can ask the other party to send out manpower to report the abnormalities seen to the people behind the scenes, thus delaying the time for their intentions to be discovered.
"When you get to Zhao's house later, you must obey orders."
Ji Yuan did not look back, he kept looking around, and whispered: "I know that you are all the proud sons of Jiuxuanmen, and even the direct descendants of a certain elder and even Zhangfeng, but at least at this time
At this moment, you must not act on impulse."
Behind him, Xu Qiqi and Jiang He nodded solemnly. In fact, they would do the same without him having to say anything.
Although they are the proud sons of the Jiuxuan Sect and have traveled through several counties with their senior brothers and sisters, they still have too little experience in the world.
Even Jiang He had to admit that compared with the little Taoist priest of the same age in front of him, he was very inadequate in many aspects.
There were no twists and turns along the way. Ji Yuan led the two of them to the outside of the Zhao family's residence smoothly. It was only when they got here that they realized how serious the situation had become.
I saw that the entire Zhao family mansion was shrouded in a gloomy aura. Even under the cover of night, I could still clearly see an evil aura hovering over the entire mansion.
This kind of breath cannot be seen by the naked eyes of mortals. Only monks who have embarked on the path of spiritual practice and have pure essence in their bodies can get a glimpse of it.
"The Zhao family may have been poisoned. Even if there are survivors, they probably won't be many."
Ji Yuan said in a deep voice.
At this time, the Zhao family's door was tightly closed, and the two lanterns that were supposed to burn all night now had no candlelight. As for the stone lion in front of the door, which was used to ward off evil spirits, it was also shrouded in a cloud of gray and lost its original function.
Not only that, even the two portraits of door gods posted on the gate have no trace of spirituality left in them. They are supposed to be majestic god generals, but when you look at them, they give people an eerie feeling.
"What do we do now?"
Jiang He asked aloud.
Since leaving the Taoist temple, Xu Qiqi has become much less talkative, focusing all his attention on the perception of his surroundings.
On the contrary, the young Jiang He, who was originally taciturn, suddenly became more talkative, mostly asking the peers around him for advice on various matters.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan pondered for a moment, then pointed to the alley in the distance: "Let's climb over the wall from there." This chapter has been completed!
