"Master, it seems that someone is following us." Suddenly, a voice made the team quiet.
The old man's gloomy eyes flashed coldly, and he looked around calmly. The gloom in his eyes became even worse: "Today, there are more government officials at the dock than in the past."
"Something is not right."
"Have we really exposed our whereabouts?" Others looked cruel.
These are all desperadoes. The first thing that comes to mind is not fear, but how to use the ordinary people here to create chaos, and then wait for an opportunity to rush out.
Just as a few people were discussing countermeasures, two Taoist priests, one old and one young, appeared next to the donkey team and lined up with them to board the boat.
"Supreme Taiyi Due Tianzun."
"Where are the donors going? Where are these donkeys going to be sold?"
The answer to the two of them was a curse without looking back: "It's none of your business, get out of here, sir, I'm in a bad mood right now."
Chai Laosan, who had a bad temper, waved his whip and hit the donkey team to vent his anger.
Snap!
The whip did not fall as expected, but was caught in the air by a white and slender young hand: "Everything has spirituality. If you beat cattle, horses and donkeys so hard, aren't you afraid that you will be reborn in the animal realm in the next life and suffer the same retribution?"
Um?
Chai Laosan's face turned gloomy: "Where did the smelly Taoist priest come from to meddle in other people's business? Is it because he ate too much salt and was too idle?"
"What if I have to keep them today?"
The Taoist priest who had spoken calmly just a moment ago suddenly shouted angrily: "How dare you, from all three religions and nine schools of thought, to use animal-making tricks to harm people! You are looking for death!"
The shouts were thunderous and unyielding, like a thunderbolt suddenly exploding at the dock. The people around covered their ears and looked in horror. In the end, they only had time to see a figure being punched in the chest by a young Taoist priest. The man fell down as fast as a rag bag.
He flew out and sprayed out several large mouthfuls of blood. He was seriously injured and passed out before he landed.
The Taoist priest took the whip and whipped it like an animal. He whipped it several times at others who wanted to resist. The force was so strong that the person's bones were broken and his shoulders were broken. The whip left long marks on the hard ground paved with bluestones.
The gravel flew and the whip was like lightning. In an instant, people were seriously injured and fell to the ground, holding their severed arms and legs and screaming in agony.
This is called treating others with their own medicine.
But the Taoist took more serious action.
If you get hit, your hands and feet will be cut off.
Only the old man with the highest level of cultivation saw the opportunity and decisively turned around and ran away. As he ran, he drew out the soft sword hidden in his clothes, intending to assassinate innocent people and create an opportunity for chaos and escape.
"Chickens and dogs! They don't know whether to live or die!"
The whip in the young Taoist priest's hand turned red, and the red blood poured into the whip body. It was like a life-threatening steel whip. Bang, the air exploded, breaking through the speed of sound, creating a sonic boom air ball, directly tearing apart the old man's body-protecting Qi.
The skin on the back is open and the bones are visible deep inside.
Bang!
The steel whip exploded with sonic boom again, breaking the bones of both legs of the old man. He lost his balance and knelt on the ground, hugging his legs and screaming in agony.
"You...how could someone break my "Golden Summit Kung" energy so easily!" The old man screamed in disbelief.
Naturally, this young Taoist priest was Yuan Shen's day trip, searching the city and finding Jin'an where these traffickers were hiding first.
This shocking scene happened so quickly that the crowds of merchants and merchants on the pier had not yet reacted. The battle was over. With a bang, the crowds who had reacted were so frightened that they fled in panic.
The bustling pier that was supposed to be bustling with people suddenly felt a vacuum.
"Something's bad! Don't wait for the reinforcements. Hurry up and support them. Don't let those kidnappers escape!" Several civilian officials who were following secretly saw the chaos at the dock and thought that the whereabouts of their group had been exposed, so they hurriedly called out.
Other brothers on the dock ran to support him.
"Spread out, spread out, the Yamen is handling the case!"
"Knives, guns, and eyes, all spread out!"
But when they rushed to the crowd and saw the prisoners whose hands and feet had been severed by whips, they all lost consciousness for a moment. They were stunned, and then looked at the only young Taoist priest standing in shock: "You, you are the five internal organs."
Taoist temple’s Jin, Taoist priest Jin’an?”
What?
Is this young Taoist priest who commits murder on the street the Taoist priest Jin'an of Wu Zang Taoist Temple?
The crowd at the pier was shocked.
The old man hugged his legs and screamed when he saw the government officials arriving. He felt cold, but he did not give up. He still wanted to take a gamble. The old man screamed at the government officials for help: "Several officials, save us! This Taoist priest."
If you want to buy a donkey by force and fail, you will commit murder on the street, hurt people, and try to rob the donkeys of our brothers! The Qingtian lords must make the decision for the common people. If you commit murder on the street, buy and sell by force, is there any law?
Oh! My legs! My legs!”
The old man held his bloody broken leg and rolled on the ground crying in an attempt to gain sympathy from passers-by.
Sure enough, some ignorant passers-by looked at Jin An suspiciously.
But Jin An didn't bother to explain. He looked at the yamen servant closest to him and said, "I'll borrow the sword."
Whether it was out of trust or fear, the yamen officer subconsciously handed over his saber. Jin An took the knife and disemboweled a little donkey in the street.
Many timid people screamed out in fright, covering their eyes and not daring to look.
However, the imagined bloody scene of internal organs flowing out did not appear, and a little girl gurgled out of the donkey's belly.
"Taoist Master Jin'an, please save my brother. My brother was also arrested by them!" This little girl is the younger sister of the two brothers who fled all the way from Guer Village to Fucheng.
Jin An gently patted the girl's head, then cut open the belly of the second little donkey in the same manner, and rolled out a beggar boy again, who was the girl's brother.
The brother who escaped and his sister knelt down in the street to kowtow to Jin An in return for saving his life.
At this moment, the pier was completely silent. Seeing the scene of a disemboweled person in the street, everyone was so shocked that electric current shot up from their tailbones to their foreheads, their scalps were numb, goosebumps all over their bodies, their mouths were wide open, and their thinking was stagnant.
, forgot to speak.
Even the government officials who came to support were stunned on the spot, frightened by this sudden and unexpected scene.
Jin An continued to cut open the third, fourth, fifth... little donkeys in the same manner, and a child rolled out of each little donkey's belly.
These children, both boys and girls, are all helpless, unattended little beggars who are most likely to be abducted and trafficked.
At this time, the other donkeys also gathered around Jin An, crying and kneeling down to ask for help. Jin An cut open the belly of a female donkey, and the donkey walking on all fours turned into a young woman on all fours.
Then the second and third women were rescued...
The rescued women sobbed and kowtowed to Jin'an in repayment.
"You, are you Miss Zhang Qianhua, the youngest daughter of the famous local cloth merchant Zhang Zaogui?" Looking at the donkey skins and adults and children on the ground, the Yamen servant came to his senses and carefully asked one of the young girls.
After receiving a positive reply, the group of government officials were shocked: "Quick, quick, hurry up, go and notify the government and several families, saying that everyone has been found, right at the dock! Let the Zhang family, Zhao family, Qian family... they
Come to the pier quickly to meet someone!"
There is no leaky wall in the world. The kidnapping case of several wealthy businessmen in Fucheng cannot be concealed. The public has already known more or less about it. The crowd at the dock heard the exclamations of the government officials.
When these women who emerged from donkey skins were young ladies from various families who had been kidnapped and blackmailed, it was like a stone striking thousands of waves, and noisy discussions broke out.
Are they the rich girls who were kidnapped by several wealthy businessmen in this city?
What's going on with those donkey skins? How could a living person turn into a donkey if he put it on a donkey skin? Just now I lined up with those people to board the ship, but I couldn't tell at all that it was a living person. It looked just like a real donkey.
The same!
The crowd was buzzing and discussing, but more people's eyes were focused on the figure of Jin An who was disembowelled and rescued. Surprise, horror, and astonishment were written all over the faces.
"How did Taoist Jin'an figure out that these donkeys were transformed from living people?"
"Taoist Master Jin'an is a Taoist priest, so he must be able to see through witchcraft."
"You don't need to tell me. What I'm asking is how did Taoist Jin An figure it out?"
The scene in front of me shocked people's hearts so much, and the discussion among the people at the pier was so heated. Moreover, the pier has always been the liveliest and most densely populated area in Fucheng. The story about Jin'an's rescue was spread quickly.
Come on.
When they heard that a living person was found trapped in a donkey skin at the pier, more people crowded in, wanting to watch the excitement. No matter how hard the government officials tried to dissuade them, they used the human wall as a human wall, but it still didn't work.
Unable to stop the crowd of people watching the fun, they kept pushing in.
If the large army had not arrived in time, and the dock garrison who had received Hu Fu's order also arrived to maintain order, Jin'an and the others would have been overwhelmed by the people of the city.
Seeing that Jin An could actually see through the animal-making talisman and break the animal-making talisman's spell, the old man, who was hugging his legs and screaming in pain, immediately became cold all over and his face turned ashen.
