"Zheng HeiBei ran away?"

"Isn't that right... Tai Xing Carriage Company's people made the first move last night, and it was Thunder Strike who took action!"

"I heard that in just a short time, Iron Saber Gang those who could fight, seventy or eighty were left disabled. The attack was so ruthless that all their limbs were broken..."

"Zheng HeiBei was probably frightened, so he escaped without a trace that night. I heard that he also took away all the gang's money. Now many swordsmen are looking for him, ready to take advantage of others and bite a piece of fat..."

"By the way, this kid is really nothing. He even tricked his senior brother before leaving."

"How did you cheat?"

"He sent all his disabled men to the hospital at Wang Yao, saying they would give them enough money, but they ran away. Now the hospital is full of injured people, and they can't be thrown out."

"Haha, it's so wicked..."

On the rivers and lakes road, all kinds of rumors spread the fastest.

What happened last night had already spread throughout Xianyang City before dawn.

Naturally, people in the world didn't mention it. Everyone knew that the end of the Zhou family was approaching.

Xianyang City But the common people talked about it with great enthusiasm. Some clapped their hands and applauded, and even more ridiculed and ridiculed. They even spat when they were scolded, which was really to relieve their anger.

"Borrowed, borrowed!"

Sha LiFei pushed open the city gate and walked through the crowded crowd.

Normally, given his temperament, he would stop and talk about the key role he played in this matter.

But now, he was so anxious that he couldn't care about anything else.

Xianyang City The gate opened just after midnight. He didn't have the skill to climb over the wall to transfer ownership, climb over the eaves, or have enough face to ask the guard to put down the hanging basket, so he had to wait patiently.

An hour has passed since Li Yan left.

He didn't want to waste time and cause any trouble.

Of course, what Sha LiFei didn't notice was that Iron Saber Gang's leader, Zheng HeiBei, also dressed up in disguise and went out of the city gate pretending to be a Northland goods merchant...

"I'm looking for Daoist Master Qing YangZi."

Xianyang City Outside the God's Temple, Sha LiFei respectfully submitted the post.

This City God Temple is ancient and has been built since the Qin and Han Dynasties. It has gone through wars, been destroyed and rebuilt several times, and now it has become a large temple covering an area of 20 acres and nearly a hundred buildings of various colors.

The person enshrined in the temple is General Meng Chong of the Qin Dynasty.

This kind of secular temple view is inseparable from folk incense, so the door is always open to facilitate people to enter and burn incense. There is also a grand temple fair every May 15th.

However, Sha LiFei is not going to burn incense, so naturally he has to hand it over to Visiting Card, otherwise he will not even be able to see the Daoist priest Qing YangZi.

"Lord, please wait a moment."

When the Daoist boy saw the name Manager Wan on Visiting Card, he naturally would not refuse. He said something and quickly ran into the back hall.

Sha LiFei was anxious in his heart and was waiting outside. He accidentally caught a glimpse of the couplet on City God Temple, which read: The eyes of the gods are like lightning, and the human heart is like a mirror, knowing good and evil.

He had always stayed away from these places in the past. After all, he had traveled around the world without doing a few bad things.

Looking at it now, Sha LiFei couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Mr. City God, I hope your eyes are like lightning and you can see everything clearly. If you kill the demon and rescue the Daoist priest, Old Sha will come to offer you incense from time to time...

While I was thinking wildly, the Daoist boy had already come out, saluted, raised his hand and said, "Father, please follow me."

Sha LiFei followed the Daoist boy all the way through the door and the big archway, and then from the corridor of the side hall to the back hall.

I saw a military general enshrined in the main hall, wearing golden armor, white face and red beard, holding a sword in his right hand and a big seal in his left hand, with round eyes and a majestic look.

The altar table in front of the statue is in the shape of a terrace, densely packed with various black clay pots, all labeled with Yellow Talisman, surrounded by oil lamps and incense.

On the side of the altar table, sitting on a futon is a Old Taoist, with white hair and long beard, plump heaven and a kind face. He is Xianyang, the temple blessing Qing YangZi.

He wears Nine-Tiered Crown on his head and Heaven-Reaching Robe. Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect respects black, so it is black on the outside and white on the inside. He is also embroidered with a green dragon on the left, a white tiger on the right, Xuanwu on the back, and a red bird on the chest, and is tied with Dragon and Tiger Belt.

This body is majestic and gorgeous, and is only worn when performing rituals.

Sha LiFei Although he didn't understand, his attitude was very respectful.

Wang Dao Xuan told him that all places City God Temple are under the management of the imperial court Ministry of Rites Mystic Sacrificial Official. This yamen is responsible for assessing Daoist monks all over the world and issuing Daoist ultimatums, and it has great power.

Being able to serve as the City God Temple congratulator for a place is naturally extraordinary.

Although this Qing YangZi is only three stories high, he is highly respected and has many disciples and disciples, so he must not be offended.

"Oh, found it?"

Hearing Sha LiFei tell the story, Qing YangZi stroked his beard and said, "I didn't expect that Xianyang actually hid a Living Underworld Messenger, but that Chen FaKui is bound to be hit by a disaster. Just go ahead. When Si Hour comes back to City God Temple, someone will accompany you."

"Ah?"

Sha LiFei became anxious upon hearing this and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Daoist Master, human life is at stake. My little brother is guarding you there. Besides, Daoist Wang Living Soul is still in the hands of the demon, just in case..."

"Don't panic."

Qing YangZi shook his head slightly, "Then Chen FaKui stayed in the tomb because the soldiers, horses and puppets were difficult to use during the day, and the ancient tomb was very dark and unaffected. Anyone entering would be noticed."

"Similarly, if a poor man drives She Ling Soldiers to take someone, he has to do it at night. If he is in a hurry, it will be difficult to save people if he scares the snake."

"Si Hour Come here, nothing will happen."

This Old Taoist held a high position of authority but had a kind attitude. Sha LiFei was not easy to argue with, so he had to leave City God Temple with a grimace.

Remembering Li Yan's instructions, he quickly turned back and begged for a Calamity Placard. Then he ran to a nearby coffin shop and asked for a good coffin. He led his people to the outside of the city, collected the Wu Lao Si, and temporarily parked it at Mortuary Village.

After doing all this, we arrived at Si Hour (09:00 to 11:00).

Sha LiFei hurriedly returned to City God Temple. Apart from Qing YangZi, there were two more Daoists in the hall.

One is wearing Dark Taoist Robe, with a Tai Chi diagram embroidered on the back, and seven stars Treasure Sword on his back. His facial features are pure and upright, but there is a hint of Killing Intent between his eyebrows.

The other man was wearing a white Daoist robe, with a white Bagua belt on his head. He had charred skin, long beard, tall figure, and looked mighty, but there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.

Qing YangZi said to Sha LiFei, "This is Daoist Enforcement Hall Luo MingZi, and this is Master Nine Yuan Sect Zhao FaCheng. Let them accompany you."

"Ah, I've met you two."

Sha LiFei clasped his fists respectfully, but felt a thump in his heart.

But he remembered that Chen FaKui was from the Nine Yuan Sect, so why did he let them go and arrest people? What should he do if they bend the law for personal gain and ruin things?

Nine Yuan Sect Zhao FaCheng nodded slightly, then respectfully raised his hands to Qing YangZi: "Thank you, senior Qing YangZi."

"It doesn't matter."

Qing YangZi shook his head and said, "You, the Nine Yuan lineage, have protected First Emperor's Mausoleum from generation to generation and have made great contributions to the country. We still have to give you this face."

OK, there is indeed a ghost!

Sha LiFei was so angry that he didn't dare to say anything.

He could see that Luo MingZi had an extraordinary aura, and he should be a good Hidden Strength player. Coupled with his magic skills, he was not something he could handle.

If something goes wrong due to impulse, it will be troublesome.

Saying goodbye to Qing YangZi, the three of them immediately came out of the main hall and entered the back door of City God Temple. A Daoist boy had already brought three fast horses.

The three of them didn't talk nonsense and immediately rode away Xianyang City...

Rumble!

It was a gloomy autumn day, and several muffled thunders sounded in the air.

In the dense forest, Li Yan stared at the mountain opposite with a solemn expression.

He set off early and rode a fast horse to the place Wu Lao Si said, but he ran into trouble.

There are indeed ancient tombs here, far away from villages and towns, located in the barren mountains and countryside, rising from the flat ground. From a distance, it looks like a giant turtle looking down on the Guanzhong plain.

Although he didn't understand the art of Feng Shui, he could still see that it was a treasure land.

But the problem is, there is more than one ancient tomb above!

Just looking at them with the naked eye, I found three of them, but they were so old that even the tomb doors had been opened by someone, apparently at the hands of a local rat.

And I don't know what kind of magic that Chen FaKui used to cover up his aura. When he used Divine Ability, he could only smell a little bit of Yin Qi in a few tombs, and could not find his whereabouts at all.

He didn't dare to go up the mountain rashly, lest he be discovered by the other party.

Thinking of this, Li Yan couldn't help but feel anxious.

When encountering this situation, his methods are still a bit lacking.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the distance.

Reinforcements are coming?

Li Yan felt happy and quickly went to the woods to check.

I saw two horses galloping towards me on the dirt road in the distance. One was wearing a sheepskin coat and Dog-Skin Hat on his head, and the other was wearing coarse black clothes.

Although the two were disguised, Li Yan could see them clearly.

They are clearly Yuan Qu and Zheng HeiBei!
