Chapter 21: The Bizarre Missing of Ya Yu Lingxue Candidates
In the western suburbs of the capital, there are lush trees and dense forests. On the green grass, there is a burning blue smoke. A half-buckle of head and a cold face. The man holding a long sword is sitting cross-legged, closing his eyes to practice.
A young man in his twenty years was lying on the bluestone slab next to him, dressed as a scholar. When it was light, the scholar woke up from the bluestone slab. The bad situation that caught his eyes scared him.
Last night, he was staying in a temple called Lingquan Temple, but when he woke up, his companions disappeared and the temple disappeared.
After doing it, I looked around and saw a man in a strong suit and holding a long sword next to me. I asked quickly: "Master, where is this? Why is Xiaosheng here?"
In this era, not everyone can hold a sword. Except for the generals who led their troops to fight, only the demon-catching masters can hold a sword. Therefore, he could see at a glance that this person was a demon-catching master.
"Ha, I'm quite brave. I dare to take a shortcut from Lingquan Temple. It's your luck to be alive." The priest sneered and pointed to the bluestone road in front of him and said, "Let's walk straight from here and walk for half a day before you can enter the city."
"Thank you, Master, for your guidance." The scholar clasped his fists, carried his bags, and walked towards the capital. After the scholar left, the Taoist took out the head that had been pulled off the scholar's head, and used the method before he could tell what happened last night!
"Bold Fox Demon." Seeing so many lives being wiped out at will, the Taoist priest was furious and slapped the bluestone slab that the scholar had just waded through.
He was about to enter the forest to find the fox demon, but one or two carriages stopped, and a man in his forties but without a need came out. He bent down respectfully: "Master Gucheng, Your Majesty is affectionate."
It turns out that this is the long Taoist name Gucheng, a famous monster catcher who is young and promising, has a righteous body, and takes it as his responsibility to eliminate demons.
The Taoist Master Gucheng frowned. After thinking about it, he felt that these foxes should not have such a disaster today. Otherwise, the emperor's people would not come sooner or later, but came here at this time and brought the emperor's oral order to summon him.
Gucheng did not get on the carriage, but followed the carriage with steadily steps. Even though he was sweating profusely, he did not stop. This is not a hard practice. No wonder he had this kind of cultivation at a young age. It is difficult for people who are cruel to him to be powerful.
"See the Emperor, I don't know what the emperor summoned the grass people and gave me what he had to do." The demon hunter had the mission and pride of the demon hunter. Even if he met the emperor, the Supreme Emperor would not bow down. However, he was the emperor who ruled the world after all, and he still had the politeness he should have. Gucheng hugged his fists, and he was proud, but not an rude person.
The emperor probably got used to it and didn't care. Instead, he said in a harmonious manner: "The Taoist priest doesn't have to be too polite. I'm asking the Taoist priest to come today for a recent strange case in the city."
turn out to be……
As the autumn examination approaches, most of the city are candidates recently, but since three days ago, some candidates have disappeared for no reason. In the past three days, there have been more than a dozen people.
Among them is the son of King Jinyang. This King Jinyang is not an ordinary prince. King Jinyang holds heavy troops and is domineering and unreasonable. He has a deep love for the princess, so he has only two sons. He is very precious!
Thinking back then, King Jinyang had the most chance to ascend the throne, but the emperor had the helplessness of the emperor. Assisting the throne, he had to have three thousand beauties in the harem.
However, King Jinyang was a kind of infatuated person, and his affection was given to him, so he withdrew from the battle for the throne.
But he was the child born to the emperor at that time, the woman he loved the last emperor, and he was the only child. He loved the house and the wuwu. The emperor always responded to him with all his requests and wanted to give him the best things.
But he always disdained it. It was because his mother's mother died early because of his father's negligence. His only request for so many years was that he and his princess would be in love for a hundred years and would work together until old age. The old emperor had no choice but to work hard to find the prince who grew up in a Buddhist temple to be the emperor, just so that his favorite son would be able to live a harmonious life until old age and not be bullied by those ambitious sons.
Although King Jinyang is a kind of infatuated person, he is domineering and cruel, and has a strange style of behavior. He has always been free and reckless, and the outside world calls him the evil king.
The Princess of Jinyang is not a good-looking lamp, but a princess from the neighboring country. In the neighboring country, he also loves all the people. If you want to get the wind and rain, you will be very good.
She is equally domineering and unreasonable, and she is full of poisonous skills. She is unparalleled in the world. Thinking back then, I wonder how many people fell into her hands.
Back then, I had to go to their country to marry, and I also fought wits and courage with the King of Jinyang, but in the end they all felt in love. Later, many daughters who loved King of Jinyang were all taken over by the Princess of Jinyang and were obedient.
Taoist Master Gucheng is very powerful and well-known to everyone in the world. This is strange and unpredictable, so I can only find him.
"I hope the Taoist master will help you in this matter." The emperor was jealous of the emperor's brother, but he had to pay attention to it. Although he was not the best candidate for the emperor, he was the most indispensable person in the country. With him, he had a good relationship with neighboring countries and was afraid of the enemy country that was eyeing the country.
"Subduing demons and eliminating demons is the duty of the grass and the people. If the monsters cause trouble, the grass and the people will have no choice but to do so." There is another saying that people's hearts are sometimes much more terrifying than monsters.
Therefore, if it was a human conspiracy, then he would stand by and watch, but the emperor only thought he agreed and waved his hand and said, "Then it will be hard for Taoist priest."
Since he received the order, Gucheng would not slacken, so he checked the basic information of the scholars one by one and the places where they disappeared in the end.
They visited those who had a good relationship with the missing scholars one by one. The Taoist Master Gucheng was famous, and even the King of Jinyang and his wife did not slacken. Moreover, he came for their son, so he naturally paid more attention.
After some understanding, the lonely city has appeared, and these missing candidates are all those with good knowledge and the most chance to be on the list. Besides the son of the King of Jinyang, they are all poor families, and most of them are in trouble.
I wanted to give up, but later I thought that if I just took the order and refused, I was afraid that the emperor would be angry with the masters, so he focused his attention on the candidates and planned to capture the mastermind behind it.
While continuing to investigate the previous case, he repeated several times and found traces of a demon. This demon was very smart. He always used the right time and place. However, if he had done everything, there would always be traces, so he was easily discovered.
After the most prestigious candidates disappeared, the most prestigious candidate among the candidates was a poor student named Jixing. Although the scholar was born in a poor family, his face was as beautiful as a jade crown, with red lips and white teeth. He looked like a handsome young man.
If the daughters who were not allowed to leave the door and who were not allowed to go out of the door would meet, they would all have to make a secret promise.
Therefore, Gucheng's attention is also on this Jixing!
Sure enough, that night, four or five days learned that scholars with good knowledge couldn't help but walk out of the door, their eyes were dull, as if they were traveling at night, and they were also in it.
They actually walked towards the forest outside the city very quickly. It usually took an hour to ride a fast horse. It took them only half an hour to reach the entrance!
Coincidentally, at the entrance, he met the scholar in the daytime. He also learned about the scholar. He was named Hu Yunfei, who was also a poor family. His teacher was a famous scholar, so his knowledge was also good.
Taoist Master Gucheng followed closely behind, followed by neither fast nor slow, and soon left the city, penetrated into the jungle, and got closer and closer to Lingquan Temple. Taoist Master Gucheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "I'm so lucky!"
But when she arrived outside Lingquan Temple, everyone was stopped by a woman in brocade. The woman in brocade looked picturesque and had beautiful facial features! She looked cold and arrogant. She was the golden fox Ajin who was driven away by the white fox.
At this time, her cold and frosty face could not hide her anger. These people actually dared to come to Lingquan Temple to disturb Sister Bai. They were so tired of living.
The scholars who were casting the Dharma also woke up the moment Ajin stopped them. When they saw that they were all white and trembling, they couldn't help but be close to each other, as if this could give themselves courage.
Gucheng hid in the dark and observed, intending to adapt to the situation...
"It's you again, a stinky scholar. Yesterday, Sister Bai was kind enough to let you go, but you dared to come to your door. Today I sucked your energy and turned into cultivation." A Jin glared, his tone very bad.
Yesterday, A Jin was unwilling to agree to let Hu Yunfei go, but the white fox pity Hu Yunfei was upright and unmoved by power, wealth and beauty. Over the years, there were only a handful of people like this. Sister Bai insisted that she reluctantly agreed.
When Hu Yunfei heard this, he was so scared that he took a step back. He remembered the experience of the day and night before, it was indeed not a dream. Suddenly, he thought of something, and he was quite worthy of his back and was not afraid at all.
Although the other scholars took a step back, they were all united and grabbed each other's people.
But Xing retreated directly behind the group of scholars, his face full of fear, his whole body trembled, and his mouth trembled: "Don't hurt me, don't hurt me."
There is no harm without comparison. Compared with Hu Yunfei and most scholars, the stars of the world are not allowed to be on the table!
"The bold monster, in front of the Buddha, he dared to speak out loudly and behaved to destroy your cultivation." Taoist Master Gucheng roared angrily when he heard this and flew out of secretly.
When the scholars and the others saw that they were ordered to inquire about other missing scholars during the day, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Hu Yunfei had indeed had such an expression, and he should have thought of it during the day.
"Stir, if you have a way in heaven, you don't go, if you have no way in hell, you will come to join us. Don't you know that Lingquan Temple is my sister Bai's territory? It's really a matter of death." A Jin was not a good temper, and the two fought.
In an instant, hundreds of tricks were fought, but A Jin was just a fox demon who had only practiced for a hundred years, and in the fox clan, he was just a child.
A Jin was gradually defeated. Honger and others in the dark were anxious and planned to help. Unexpectedly, the door of Lingquan Temple opened at this time. In the light, a woman in white suddenly appeared, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her white clothes were as snowy as she was long and fluttering. She looked at Taoist Master Gucheng who had stopped fighting with a smile, but she was unforgivable: "Is the stinky Taoist priest planning to join the Buddha's disciple?"
"Puchi..." A Jin burst out laughing. Sister Bai has always been gentle, but once she starts to viciously, she can still be annoyed. However, Sister Bai has rarely had a different mood, and this stinky Taoist priest is capable.
"White Fox." Taoist Master Gucheng frowned. The white fox was obviously so severe that he could be blessed by the Buddha.
"Stir, today's affairs have nothing to do with us. You go, we will not interfere with the rivers. Let's spare you today, don't have the next time." The white fox looked at the foolish scholars, frowned, looked up at Gucheng and said.
