The morning in early winter was extremely cold and foggy, and the river bank was covered in a dim white sky.

Zhuo Zhan and his group lay on a small mound on the river embankment, scrambling to use the stretchable thin-tube telescope Zhuo Zhan brought to look at the situation at the Baiming Temple opposite.

This kind of telescope was also specially made by Zhuo Zhan by Uncle Wen in the laboratory. When not in use, it is only as big as a No. 1 battery. When needed, it can be stretched to a high-power telescope with a length of about 20 centimeters, making it easy to carry.

, and it has good optical quality and is very practical.

However, no matter how sophisticated the telescope is, it seems useless in such frosty and foggy weather.

"Hey, Zhuo Zhan, this thing of yours is not easy to use. Why don't you invent something that emits light or rays to dispel the fog?" Zhuangzi wiped the mirror of the telescope with his sleeves.

Couldn't help but complain.

"Have you watched too many science fiction movies? There is nothing so magical. Besides, there is no weather forecast here. Who knew it would be foggy this morning?" Duan Fei retorted habitually.

"Actually, it's like this every morning here in Ze. It will probably take more than an hour until the sun comes up for the fog to dissipate." Qi You took Zhuangzi's telescope, pulled it out and pushed it back, unable to put it down.

"Then let's wait until the fog clears before going?" Duan Fei felt a little cold, huffing white air, and turned to look at Zhuo Zhan, who was frowning next to him.

Zhuo Zhan was about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by Zhuangzi.

"Hey, hey, hey! It seems like someone is coming out, Qingpaozi!" Zhuangzi pointed at the door of the temple and shouted in a low voice.

"Give Jincha the telescope!" Zhuo Zhan ordered quickly.

Qi You hurriedly handed the binoculars to Jin Cha. Jin Cha took the binoculars, carefully identified the cyan figure looming in the white mist, and shouted: "Ah, it's him! It's my sworn brother!"

Chi, who was beside Jin Cha, took Jin Cha in his arms, covered her mouth, and whispered: "Keep your voice down, do you want them to discover us?"

Jin Cha's eyes widened and she nodded quickly. However, when she picked up the telescope to look again, a thick fog filled the air like steam, and the cyan figure flashed and was no longer visible.

"Ah, I can't see it anymore!" Jincha almost screamed again, but with Chi covering her mouth, she could only make a whining sound.

Zhuo Zhan looked at Jin Cha nervously: "Jin Cha, are you sure that the person just now is Li Zhu?"

Jincha nodded vigorously: "sure, sure!"

"That's good," Zhuo Zhan said calmly, "We don't have to wait for the fog to dissipate. It's more beneficial for us to have this fog as a cover. Xiao Yue, use your eyes to see."

Duan Yue received the order and immediately put his two index fingers against his temples. In the curling mist, his silver eyes were as dazzling as stars, and the magical earrings under his earlobes also emitted a faint purple halo.

"Xiao Yue, what is the structure in the temple and how many people are there?" Zhuo Zhan asked in a low voice.

"After entering the courtyard, there is the main hall. The main hall is very large, with a wing on each side. There is also a back hall behind the statue. The back hall is not big, and is similar to the common temples. Inside... there are five people in total, and there is one

He is wearing a green robe, very tall, with long hair hanging loosely, and a copper crown. He looks very handsome, much like the person in the Jincha portrait."

"That's my adopted brother! Ouch..." Jin Cha screamed again, but was immediately hit hard on the head by Chi.

Duan Yue ignored Jin Cha and continued to concentrate on his observation: "There is a person cleaning the charcoal basin next to the altar table. He is a little shorter, very dark and strong, and looks very similar to the other person in the portrait. There are two other people, one male and the other

Girl, in the back hall...between them is...the hanging bell!"

"Are you sure it's a hanging bell?" Zhuo Zhan asked hurriedly.

"I'm sure it's Xuan Ling's red cotton coat. Her hands and feet are tied up and she's on the bed in the back hall. The woman is feeding Xuan Ling. There's another person lying on the bamboo couch in the main hall, wearing black clothes and black robes.

The hair is in a hairpin, and the long hair is blocking the face, and the appearance cannot be seen clearly, as if he is sleeping." Duan Yue frowned and said, his eyes returned to their normal color, and the faint purple brilliance of the earrings disappeared.

The three brothers of the Qi family stared at Duan Yue sideways and were dumbfounded after hearing her smooth narration of all this.

They didn't know that, except for Zhuo Zhan, Duan Fei, and Zhuangzi, this seemingly weakest and most inconspicuous little girl actually had such a powerful Nether Eye. They were shocked but at the same time, they were filled with desire that was gradually rising.

Especially Qi Yuan, he knew very well that this group of people came from the distant and unknown country of China and were not under the jurisdiction of the five directions and five mountains. In other words, Duan Yue, a man with the eyes of the netherworld, had not been controlled by any of the shrines in any place.

Collect and use.

Including Zhuo Zhan and others, their witchcraft power is not only powerful, but also rare. If they can be used for their own use, they will definitely be even more powerful in the future battle against Zhongshan. They may even turn against the guests in the battle, go straight to the hinterland of Zhongshan, capture the city, and open up frontiers.

Expanding soil.

When Zhuo Zhan turned around, he immediately caught sight of the greedy and eager eyes of the three brothers of the Qi family, and felt a sudden panic in his heart. It seemed that after solving the Xuan Ling matter, the pressure they would face came not only from You Qing and Kai Tu Shi.

, the Qi family may even turn friends into enemies.

Zhuo Zhan secretly sighed, the more he wanted to hide something, the less he could hide it. Now he could only take one step at a time. It was better to finish the hard nut in front of him first, and then plan for future difficulties.

Zhuo Zhan deliberately coughed twice, trying to attract the attention of the three brothers of the Qi family away from Duan Yue: "Brother Qi, second brother Qi, third brother Qi, let's go down now. Everything will go according to plan so as not to adapt to the situation."

Things are changing. If there is an emergency, all actions will be focused on retrieving the hanging bell. Don't be too lazy to fight. It's best to fight quickly."

The Qi brothers responded in succession.

The group of people took advantage of the cover of the fog and descended the river embankment silently, walked through the slippery beach, and reached the temple door. Qi Yuan and Qi Hao hid the golden tea on the left side of the door. Zhuo Zhan and Duan

Fei and Duan Yue hid on the right side of the gate, while Zhuangzi, Chi and Qiyou quietly walked around to the back door and lurked behind the stone beast outside the arch of the back hall.

Zhuo Zhan nodded towards Duan Fei. Duan Fei took a deep breath and kicked his hardened right leg towards the red lacquer door of the temple.

The door collapsed with a loud bang, accompanied by smoke and flying wood chips. Several people in the temple immediately looked at the door with vigilance. When the smoke and dust at the door cleared, Qi was squeezing Jincha's neck with his hands.

Yuan appeared, and Qi Hao next to him was holding a long sword and staring at Li Zhu in the center of the temple with a stern expression.

"Jin Cha!" Li Zhu was horrified, staring at Jin Cha's panicked face in fear.

"Sister-in-law, save me!" Jin Cha screamed.

"Are you Li Zhu?" Qi Hao narrowed his slender eyes and asked sternly.

Li Zhu didn't respond, just stared straight at Jin Cha, with a sly and cunning smile on her lips.

The dark-faced strong man who was changing charcoal at the altar also stood up and came to Li Zhu's side. He looked at each other and smiled, and said roughly: "You are really lucky today, Li Zhu, what did you predict last night?"

No."

The man in the back hall also rushed out. He was bald and holding a big knife, standing on the other side of Li Zhu.

But the man in black clothes and robe who was resting on the bamboo rafter on the side showed no intention of getting up. He just used his slender fingers to brush away the long hair scattered on his face, revealing his face as white as snow.

With a face and eyes that were dull and lifeless, he yawned lazily, kicked his legs, and watched this improvised drama with a cold eye as if watching the excitement.

"Li Zhu, don't you just want golden tea? Let my sister go, and I will give you the golden tea!" Qi Yuan shouted sharply, his eyes filled with anxiety and worry.

"Sister-in-law, save me! Ah!" Jin Cha shouted again, but Qi Yuan immediately choked him, unable to even move his head.

Li Zhu made a "hum" sound from her nose, rolled her eyes, and teased: "Are you Qi Yuan? The lieutenant general of Chongwu Mansion Army, the eldest son of Qi Tongyuan?"

"Not bad." Qi Yuan Lengche responded.

"You are really well-calculated. They say you are wise and brave, even better than your legendary father. Who knows if you can play any tricks. Maybe your army is waiting outside the door at this time.

Maybe." Li Zhu stared at Qi Yuan slyly, her sharp eyes eager to see through him.

Qi Yuan sneered and said calmly: "Since you know so much about Chongwu Mansion and me, you must also know that Shen Jincha's father, Shen Hai, is also a lieutenant general in Chongwu Mansion. My two brothers

I am so eager to save my sister that I kidnapped Jin Cha behind my father’s back and Shen Hai’s back just to save my sister. Am I going to mobilize my troops with great fanfare?”

"If you are worried, you can send someone out to take a look." Qi Hao on the side quickly added.

Li Zhu thought for a moment, looked at the dark-faced man next to her, and said in a deep voice: "You release Shen Jincha first. I will get your sister and release your sister right away."

Qi Hao frowned and shouted sternly: "Why should we let him go first? What if you don't return my sister to us if we give you Shenjin Tea?"

"Your sister doesn't have the Eyes of the Netherworld, so what's the use of keeping her?" Li Zhu said disdainfully.

"There's no guarantee that you crazy people won't tear up the vote." Qi Hao said coldly.

"Then what do you want to do?" The black-faced man on the side became angry and shouted angrily.

"How about you bring my sister over and let us release her at the same time?" Qi Yuan said calmly.

Li Zhu and the black-faced man looked at each other, then glanced at the calm man lying on the side of the bamboo raft, pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "That's fine. After we get our respective people, we can get married.

Return to the dust, return to the earth, and never have any more entanglements.”

"Okay, that's refreshing! I, Qi Yuan, have always said the same thing. If you return my sister to me intact, I promise that I will not trouble you again within three days. You can escape from Chongwu Mountain in these three days."

The territory." Qi Yuan said cheerfully.

Li Zhu smiled slightly and nodded to the black-faced man. The black-faced man looked back at Qi Yuan and Jin Cha fiercely, then turned and walked towards the back hall.

But who would have thought that as soon as the black-faced man took two steps out, he heard a sharp scream from a woman in the direction of the back hall, followed immediately by the sound of broken bones.

"It's Qiu Jiang!" the black-faced man shouted in panic, and hurried to the back hall with Li Zhu and the bald man.

But before the three of them could run out, a gust of white shadows hugging a red coat flashed past them like lightning.

"They want to rob someone!" Li Zhu was shocked, his eyes suddenly turned purple, and the incense burner on the altar suddenly flew out and hit the white shadow heavily.

"Ah!" The white shadow and the red coat fell heavily to the ground. Qi You raised his head, retracted the blue horns and yellow hair on his head, and spit out a mouthful of blood on the snow-white skirt.

However, he still hugged the red coat tightly and ran towards Qi Yuan and Qi Hao: "Brother! We found Xuan Ling, take her away quickly!"

But how could Li Zhu and the others let go of the fat in their mouths so easily? When Qi You shouted, the three of them had already surrounded him.

"Purple...Leng Lingguo...Shen Ziyou!" Zhuo Zhan and Duan Fei looked at each other in surprise as they emerged from the door. Zhuo Zhan hurriedly shouted: "Brother Qi, be careful! Li Zhu's pupil power is

Teleporting objects!”

However, before Zhuo Zhan could finish speaking, two bronze forks and a spear inserted into the weapon racks in the corner had flown into the air and stabbed directly at Qi You.

At the critical moment, Duan Fei and Qi Hao jumped up. Duan Fei knocked down the two bronze forks with one leg and one elbow. Qi Hao grabbed the spear that was about to stab Qi You in the back.

It softened into a snake and paralyzed in Qi Hao's hand.
