"Open the door, open the door!" A sound of pounding the door echoed in the night sky, alarming the crows on the locust tree in front of the door.

At this moment, the streets of Jinshan Mansion were full of vicious coalition soldiers, and teams of Shenwei soldiers with vicious expressions kept pouring from one room to another.

"Here, come, Jun Ye, knock slowly." An old Taoist priest walked to the door tremblingly and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, it was roughly knocked open. The old Taoist priest staggered and sat next to the door. Then more than a dozen soldiers of Shenwei soldiers rushed into the yard. Then a Shenwei soldiers wearing a red crown of the Thousand-Men and paladin sword armor walked into the yard.

The visitor was the leader of the Shenwei Army, Locke, who came to investigate the key areas such as the Huaizhen Taoist Temple stronghold, for fear of any omissions.

"Sir, we are from Huaizhen Taoist Temple. We are your allies. This is where we settle down. Our deputy Wang and Mashir Wanfu are very familiar with each other." A middle-aged Taoist priest with a smile on his face immediately came up.

"Shenwei Army is doing business and searching for the scammers and treacherous soldiers. Everyone stands in the yard immediately within three minutes. Those who don't leave after time will be killed without mercy!" A centurion beside Locke ignored the Taoist priest and shouted loudly.

"Come out, come out!" The soldiers of the Shenwei Army rushed into the house and quickly drove the disheveled Taoist priests out of the house.

In the cold night, these Taoist priests shivered and looked at the fierce and evil Shenwei Army in panic.

"Sir, we are all Taoist priests who are in the Taoist temple, not spies." The Taoist priests sighed.

"Everyone took out the ID certificate and looked up at me!" the centurion of the Shenwei Army shouted.

However, Locke looked at the Taoist priests coldly, hoping that something would appear from their faces.

In the darkness, a Taoist priest took out a documentary that proved his identity, raised his head and looked at the Shenwei Army with trembling. Under the torch, everyone looked panicked.

As soon as Locke whined, the centurion of the Shenwei Army immediately pointed at the youngest Taoist priest among them: "Your name is Xue Zhixuan?"

"Yes." The little Taoist priest was only sixteen or seventeen years old. The identity document stated that he was Xue Zhixuan, a Taoist boy in the inner courtyard of the Jinshan Mansion of Huaizhen Taoist Temple.

"I'm so brave." The centurion said disdainfully.

"What is the next sentence of 'With its light, with its dust'?" Locke suddenly shouted.

"The next sentence... is 'Yes... is for Xuantong'..." the little Taoist priest stuttered.

"It's really a pagan, damn it." Locke raised his horse whip and slapped the Taoist boy hard. His clothes were broken and blood were bleeding. The Taoist boy groaned and fell to the ground.

"Search it carefully!" Locke stopped looking at the Taoist boy and said to the centurion of the Shenwei Army.

The centurion of the Shenwei Army immediately led people into the house and courtyard and searched carefully.

The yard is not big, only about a hundred square meters. In just over a dozen minutes, the centurion led the team out and reported: "Sir, after careful search, there is nothing in the room."

"There is nothing? Let's go! You Taoist priests have heard that if you see any suspicious person, you must report it immediately, otherwise you will be treated as accomplices!" Locke sneered and took the lead in leaving.

"Huh, I finally covered it up. Look at Brother Hao Qingyuan, how is it?" Several Taoist priests of the Supreme Taoist had been anxious when they saw Hao Qingyuan being pulled to the ground by Locke. As soon as the Shenwei Army left, they immediately helped Hao Qingyuan up.

It was too thrilling just now. Everyone never expected that the commander of the Divine Power Army was also proficient in the classic "Tao Te Ching" of the Empire and Taoism. But I think so, even if it is an enemy, if you want to achieve great things, you should pay attention to the sub-sections.

"No, this Xikou's whip has no strength. I have not practiced martial arts for many years. I have avoided the vital points just now." Hao Qingyuan endured the pain, afraid that everyone would worry and smile on purpose.

"He is a man who is bold and meticulous. Let's go to our detective camp in the future and work with us." Sun Desheng gave a thumbs up when he heard this.

"No, Qingyuan, you shouldn't have avoided that whip just now. The commander of the Divine Power Army is a figure. Not only is he familiar with imperial culture, but he also has great martial arts. In the morning, we can tell that we entered the city by just the omissions in our expression. Now, if you avoid his whip, he would definitely feel something was wrong afterwards." The old Taoist slapped his thigh and sighed.

"It's all my fault..." Hao Qingyuan's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she felt that she was harming everyone.

"It's nothing. Even if there is no such thing, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. It's just to temporarily avoid the search of the Western Cong. Now that it's exposed in advance, you can't sacrifice it for nothing. Sun Wu Zi, didn't you say that you have a place to take us to hide? It's time to see you now?"

"But what if the enemy comes after you?" Someone asked.

"That's better than staying here and waiting to die. One step is one step." The old Taoist sneered.

"Brother Dao, don't worry, my family is from Bowang Town, Zhenhaifu. My father has an inn in this mansion, so I can hide there. And when I passed by there this afternoon, I saw that there was already a Shenwei Army searching there, and they shouldn't go back." Sun Desheng Dao.

"Has the old man encountered an unexpected accident?" Lin Qingping asked.

Since the Western Allied Forces conquered Zhenhai Mansion, Sun Desheng has not received any news about his father. He thought his father had already suffered misfortune and was depressed, so the old Taoist asked this question.

"I was on my way to the stronghold this afternoon and passed by the inn and vaguely saw my father standing in the inn lobby." Sun Desheng looked full of joy.

"Okay, then I'll trouble the old man." The old Taoist nodded, and everyone hurriedly packed their luggage and climbed over the back wall and left.

The Taoist priest Wang Dayou, who was in the true Tao, actually asked to follow everyone and leave, saying that he would not want to work hard for the Western Invaders anymore.

Seeing that his attitude was sincere, the old Taoist knew that he was afraid of poison. Because he was a person who was a true Taoist, he could face it and deal with it for a while when he had something to do, so he brought him with him.

~~~~~~~~

"Monkey Sun, is this your inn?" The old Taoist looked at Sun Desheng with a suspicious face.

I saw that the inn was a two-story building with elegant decoration, with a plaque hanging on the upper floor: Shengshi Inn. But what was surprising was that in the drainage canal at the entrance of the inn, there were three bodies dressed by Western coalition forces. The gate of the inn was closed, and you could vaguely hear a group of people inside crying. It was obvious that there had just been a bloodshed here.

"My father won't have any trouble!" Sun Desheng didn't know if he heard the old Taoist's question. When he saw the inn like this, he fell into a state of madness.

It’s not a big deal for Sun Desheng. He left home to join the army at the age of seventeen and never saw his father again. After many years of leaving, he was confirmed this afternoon that his father was still alive. When he saw something happening in the inn at night, how could he not be frightened and worried?

"Don't worry, Sun Wukong, if your father is in an accident, I will kill the commander of the powerful army to sacrifice spirits to him!" The old Taoist said seriously.

"Qingyuan, come here, like this. Go and inquire first." The old Taoist looked at Hao Qingyuan and ordered.

After a while, a little beggar, covered in rags and dirty, appeared at the entrance of the inn, and looked around timidly while knocking on the door knocker.

"Okay, okay, I haven't eaten for a few days." As soon as the door opened, the little beggar begged.

"Oh, I've been begging at such a young age... Go out, I've just suffered a disaster here, and I really have nothing to give you." An aunt who looked like she had just cried stuck her head out and looked vigilantly, went back to the house and took out a pancake and handed it to the little beggar.

"Thank you, aunt, I wish your shopkeeper good health. Why did these people die here?" The little beggar was very clever. He took the pancake and said auspicious words, pointing to the corpses of the Western Allied Forces.

"Bah, don't mention the shopkeeper who is raised by our dog. It's better to die sooner. These people were killed by the Westerners themselves, so it's better to die if they all die." The aunt said angrily. After saying that, she felt abrupt, turned around and entered the house, and closed the door.

"Lin Dao, those Westerners were killed by themselves, and the inn shopkeeper seemed to have nothing to do, but it seemed... they didn't like it..." After Hao Qingyuan came back, he glanced at Sun Desheng and said carefully again.

"My father is a little stingy, but he should be very energetic. Moreover, the aunt was Aunt Zhang who had been working at my house just now. She was very nice to me. How could she say that?" Sun Desheng said in confusion.

"No matter what, it seems that the Western Alliance has come here, and there is the body of the False soldiers in front of the store, but there is no Xikou dealt with it. I think your father should have some tricks. The so-called most dangerous place is the safest place. We will climb over the back wall in a while and find your father before making a decision." The old Taoist decided.

At this moment, in the stronghold of Huaizhen Taoist Temple in Jinshan Mansion, Locke looked gloomy and pointed at the empty room with a whip, and said angrily: "As a matter of fact, they all ran away!"

"Sir, are they really spies from the Han soldiers?" The centurion of the Shenwei Army on the side was still a little suspicious. After all, the conquering Huaizhendao was approved by the Pope himself, but now it is difficult to kill them casually.

"Although the little Taoist priest got me a whip, he was definitely a martial arts. And although his eyes were flustered, his steps were steady. He was not an ordinary boy at all. You can search me carefully here again and don't let every corner!" Locke said coldly.

Half an hour later, the centurion of the Shenwei Army replied with a sad face: "Sir, the body has been found in the well in the backyard."

"How many times have I told you, don't let go of details, don't let go of any details!" Locke pointed at the centurion with a whip.

"Because of my mistake, my Lord has shamed me. Please punish me." The centurion fell to the ground with a kneeling sword, pulled out his sword and raised it over his head.
