261 Old Enemy

The second day after checking into the inn was also the ninth day that Lin Shuhang entered the scene.

In the early hours of the morning, a serious accident occurred in Baohua Temple. Purple thunder fell from the sky, causing a fire. Accompanied by the sound of gunpowder explosions, not only were several halls destroyed, but the devotees who were offering incense in the temple were also affected.

It spread, causing three deaths and twenty-seven injuries.

There were rumors in the city that this was the Hat Demon appearing in the world and hurting people in the city. There was no problem with Lin Shangshu's investigation, but he was framed and imprisoned by the traitor. Even God could not stand it anymore. The Buddha was so angry that he appeared in Baohua Temple and descended.

Thunder from the sky shows punishment.

Coupled with the reappearance of the Hat Demon last night and the thunderstorm coming from Baohua Temple, the public opinion in Kaifeng Mansion could no longer be suppressed.

As soon as the genius was revealed, the matter of the Hat Demon was brought up again by people irresistibly. Previously, the official list said that discussion was not allowed, but now people are panicked. Some people have taken the initiative to break the ban, with the mentality of not punishing the public.

More and more people are talking about it.

At this time, the Kaifeng Mansion was busy investigating the case last night and the incident at Baohua Temple, and had no time to control it, so the topics that had been suppressed before suddenly came rolling in like a river bursting its banks.

For a time, in the streets and alleys, there were as many people talking about the hat monster last night as crucian carp crossing the river. There were also people who stayed at the nearby inn that night, vividly describing the process of the wolf monster eating people, which made people panic and everyone was in danger.

.

However, the high pressure from the government soon followed. From the end of Chenshi, in addition to the patrolling officers, there were also the presence of the Forbidden Army on the streets.

Suppressing speech is no longer possible. As long as they don't make a fuss in person and chat with the guests in the wine shop and teahouse about the Hat Monster, both the imperial guards and the officials will turn a blind eye and really can't control it.

.

But at least, frequent patrols can give civilians a certain sense of security and maintain the status quo of Chang'an City, which is now on the verge of collapse.

In the afternoon, new rumors emerged, saying that the thunder in Baohua Temple was not a natural disaster but man-made. It was the Taoist priest from Maoshan who claimed to have seen the hat demon last night.

This person is working with the Lin family. He uses Maoshan Taoism to summon demon thunder and create chaos in Baohua Temple. He clearly wants to disrupt Kaifeng and has evil intentions, or he may create an illusion to excuse the Lin family, and at the same time accuse the court of confusing right and wrong.

The emperor was furious after hearing this and demanded that the Kaifeng government must arrest Chen Lezhi at all costs. Therefore, the officers and soldiers patrolling the streets had another task: to arrest the Taoist priest.

Lin Shuhang frowned slightly when he heard this.

There is no doubt that Chen Lezhi was the one who used thunder to attack Baohua Temple. If he really succeeded and retired, then the monster monks of Baohua Temple would have no reason to be so vocal. After all, a monk who can escape cannot escape the temple. Knowing that Chen Lezhi is from the Maoshan sect,

direct

Just ask the important people in Maoshan, or go directly to Maoshan to cause trouble. Now there is such a storm in the city. In addition to alerting the snake, how can we capture a Taoist master with both martial arts and Qi cultivation by relying on these official missions?

There is probably only one reason for such a big publicity, and that is that Chen Lezhi has been captured by Baohua Temple. The demon monk is afraid that he will really provoke Maoshan, so he deliberately spreads rumors that Chen Lezhi has escaped, and it has nothing to do with them anyway.

At the same time, it can also be used to change the topic of the common people, ease the anxiety in the capital a little, and further substantiate the Lin family's accusation of colluding with evil spirits. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Frankly speaking, Lin Shuhang really doesn't care about the charges. He already knows almost everything about the 'Hat Demon'. As long as he recovers his strength, he can visit Baohua Temple at night and find out the details of the enemy, and then he will directly search out the flying saucer and bring it back.

The demons were all tied up and thrown in front of the emperor. Naturally, everything would be revealed.

As for the emperor not wanting to admit his mistake, there is really no need to worry about that.

Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty worked hard on governance in the early days. In terms of martial arts, he personally concluded the famous Chanyuan Alliance, which contributed to a hundred years of peace between Song and Liao Dynasties. He was also not weak in terms of civil affairs. He appointed Lu Duan as prime minister, which promoted the Xianping War.

Zhi, can be regarded as an emperor with both civil and military skills.

Although now in 1018, it is already the late period of Zhenzong. The court and the harem are involved in politics. Zhenzong himself has built palaces extensively, wasting people and money, and his reputation has greatly declined. However, he likes immortality. Wang Qinruo, one of the five ghosts in the Northern Song Dynasty, became associated with Zhenzong because of the book of heaven.

It was only through the Feng Chan Tai Mountain that he was able to sit on the position of prime minister.

And I only need to show some magic skills in front of Zhenzong, but I am afraid that I will not be able to win over this old man and rehabilitate the Lin family?

Therefore, there is no need to pay attention to the various slanders against the Lin family.

In contrast, it was Chen Lezhi's situation that made Lin Shuhang even more worried.

This Baohua Temple is obviously a member of the monster clan. Not to mention that Maoshan already has a deep hatred for the monsters in the world. Even if there is no hatred, with Chen Lezhi's cultivation, it will definitely be the most delicious meal in the eyes of the monsters.

, if Chen Lezhi really fell into Baohua Temple, it would be a disaster.

The Maoshan Sect has kept a promise made more than a hundred years ago to this day, and Lin Shuhang is still very grateful. Unfortunately, the strength has not been restored now, so he can only sigh with hope. I hope that guy's luck is better.

On the morning of the third day after entering the inn, which was also the tenth day after entering the scene, I still had about twenty hours left before my recovery period.

There were more Imperial Guards in the city, and they began to conduct door-to-door checks, household registration checks, name checks, and everything else.

Regardless of inns, private households or various tavern merchants, all people on the street must cooperate unconditionally at any time and at any time. It is said that Chen Lezhi has disguised himself and is hiding in the city. He must be investigated as quickly as possible.

Obviously, the person from Baohua Temple was getting a little anxious, and he also found a new way to use the chess piece Chen Lezhi. This was an excuse to arrest Chen Lezhi, but in fact he was investigating himself as a time traveler.

Appearances can be changed, and spiritual energy can be hidden, but if identity, place of origin, criminal questioning, and professional matters are left to professionals, I don't believe that the other party can also handle it.

I heard that for today's investigation, the imperial court specially temporarily transferred many experienced head catchers and six-door men from nearby towns, in order to use the expertise of these people to tear off the disguise of the time-travelers.

As a result, after working hard all morning, Chen Lezhi couldn't find it, but all kinds of monsters, ghosts, and snakes were revealed.

Wanted criminals who escaped for several years, got into various lawsuits and then hid in the city, hiding their names, various habitual criminals and thieves, and even bandits and robbers who robbed homes and kidnapped and then took ransom in the city...

Not to mention other places, just in the inn street where Lin Shuhang was located, several people whose identities were unknown or whose identities had obvious loopholes had been found in just one morning.

Lin Shuhang was naturally included in this investigation, but he just casually made up his place of origin in Sichuan, his surname was Bai, and his family owned a bank, because in three days, Kaifeng Juyuan Bank was going to hold an abacus competition. Taking this opportunity, he also wanted to

Let's see if we can recruit a good accountant for our family.

After staying in the tavern for two or three days, I could hear miscellaneous news like 'Juyuan Bank's abacus competition' at any time without asking. Lin Shuhang just mentioned it casually. As for his native place in Sichuan, it was nothing more than that.

It was reported casually, because I am originally from Sichuan, and I have also studied the Furukawa dialect. The accent is relatively similar, so it is easy to impersonate.

In this era, there was no such thing as an ID card. Officials had fish bags to prove their identity, while ordinary people only had men who had household registration with the local government.

In just a few days, it is impossible for the other party to go to Sichuan for verification. This kind of interrogation is actually more of a test of your psychological endurance and you must not show any panic.

In addition, the catchers will also randomly ask some questions, such as the customs and customs of the place where you are registered, or where you came from, where you passed along the way, what you have experienced, etc... These catchers

They travel all over the country and have a wide range of experiences. The transportation in this era is not convenient, compared to most tourists.

, it is impossible to know too much about things from other places. On the contrary, the catchers can speak a few dialects in various places, and have a good understanding of the local customs. They also understand human nature and psychology. Don't say that they answered wrong directly.

If there is a slight discrepancy between your identity and your answers, it will be easy for them to smell it and find you out.

Of course, this method is obviously ineffective against Lin Shuhang.

In terms of mentality, he is as steady as an old dog.

In terms of strategic reactions, word games? Lin Shuhang's real dimensionality reduction attack on these bosses.

Once again, he easily fooled around and sat in the hall, sipping wine and watching the interrogation of the arresters. By the way, he invited the arrester to have two drinks and get close to him while he was taking a break. Unfortunately, he was in a humble position and couldn't.

Some useful new information was obtained, and it was just a matter of reconfirming his identity as a wealthy businessman from Sichuan and Sichuan.

The opponent makes moves and you take them out. Although the opponent has all the favorable factors such as the right time, place, people, etc., if you only have one move that remains unchanged and can adapt to all changes, you can be as stable as Mount Tai.

Probably because of repeated setbacks in finding people, the person from Baohua Temple was very angry, and he also firmly believed that the Lin family's time traveler must still be in the city, so he waited until evening and finally launched his final move.

The government publicly posted notices, to the effect that the Lin family colluded with evil spirits to cause trouble in Kaifeng and deserved death. The emperor wanted to detain him temporarily because of his merits, but he did not want Lin Te, the leader of the family, to kill an official and escape from prison, and use the corpse of an official as a prisoner.

The stand-in deceived the world, and after escaping, he once again collaborated with Maoshan Taoist Chen Lezhi to spread rumors in Kaifeng Mansion. His heart is to be punished!

Now the Holy One has issued an order to arrest Lin Te nationwide. Unless Lin Te voluntarily surrenders, eleven members of the Lin family will be taken to Caishikou by noon tomorrow and all beheaded in public display.

Seeing this news, even Lin Shuhang couldn't help but feel a chill on his face.

This move is a bit cruel, this is really a life-threatening situation...

The mission of his time travel is to preserve the blood of the Lin family. If the Lin family is allowed to be killed, no matter how much he kills everyone after his strength is restored, he will not be able to undo the result of the failure of the mission.

Although the scene can be restarted, it is a waste of time and energy, and the rewards for one-time clearing the mission will be directly halved, which is always unpleasant.

But speaking of it, at noon tomorrow, my recovery time has not yet arrived. I entered the scene at midnight on the first day, so I will not be able to recover my spiritual energy and physical body until noon tomorrow, that is, after one o'clock noon.

During this period, for at least a full hour, I was extremely weak. If I, an ordinary person, fell into the hands of those demons, I might not even be able to survive.

Lin Shuhang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

He had easily defused the previous moves, but this time he was held seven inches away. How should he break the situation?

...Baohua Temple.

It was late at night, people were quiet, and the monks all over the temple were soundly asleep. But outside the Three Treasures Hall, there were more than a dozen figures squatting at the moment.

The leading man was wearing an official uniform of the Song Dynasty. He was the father of Lu Yijian, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice: Lu Mengheng, the chief minister of Dali Temple.

Although he looks to be over seventy years old, he has a ruddy complexion, a strong build, and is full of energy when he speaks, showing no sign of aging.

Behind him, there were more than a dozen men in black kneeling. The black clothes were obviously specially made, with ancient runes painted on them, which seemed to be used to suppress evil spirits. But even so, from the brows of those men in black,

, I can still feel the faint evil spirit emanating, which is very evil.

I just heard Lu Mengheng laugh and say: "Brother Wu, you just ate that old monk and took his skin. How did you really learn to worship the Buddha and chant sutras devoutly? We always make appointments in this Buddhist temple, even though there are

The magic weapon can isolate us from evil spirits, but it is not our habit to accompany the Buddha. This problem should be changed."

When he finished speaking, the door of the Three Treasures Hall in front was blown open by a gust of wind, and an old monk with a solemn treasure appearance had stood at the door of the hall. It was Master Cifa who presided over Baohua Temple.

He clasped his hands together, smiled and said to Lu Mengheng: "People in the world say that they borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, but I prefer to use Buddha to refine our hearts. Although we are demons, who doesn't long for the day of ascending? Brother Chonglou, swallow this old man

Monk, after absorbing many of his memories, I realized that the Buddha's wisdom is as vast as the sea, and the scriptures often contain great principles and truths. If you study them in detail, one day you can achieve righteousness and get rid of this demon body and deceitful skin."

Lu Mengheng, who was known as the "Chonglou", chuckled: "Hey, I'm just afraid that if we do too many evil things, the Buddha won't accept it."

"The Buddha said that when you lay down your butcher's knife and become a Buddha, the person you are destined to meet is not the so-called good man or woman you call him. He is not as particular about his family background as the immortals in heaven..." Master Cifa smiled slightly: "That's all, I won't argue with you. Tomorrow's vegetable market

Have the arrangements for the mouth been arranged properly?"

"Don't worry, I have buried the soul-locking magical weapon deep into the ground. As long as he dares to come, I will teach him how to come back!"

"Don't be careless." Master Cifa said: "You have been locked in the Demon Suppression Tower for four hundred years, and the last time you came into contact with his information was more than a hundred years ago. Who knew that he had

Nothing changes or improves.”

"Hey, this is a Hanwu magic weapon with unlimited power. I heard a lot of secrets when I was in the Demon Suppression Tower. It is said that it caused many saints in the immortal world to suffer." Lu Mengheng said with a smile: "I have tried it.

Too many times, as soon as it is started, Fangyuan

The spiritual energy within a ten-mile radius is locked up, and the Taixu is isolated! Don't say that he is just an earthly immortal, he is a heavenly immortal. Even if the golden immortal comes, he will lock it up! I guarantee that he will not be able to use any spells, and he will not be able to gather any spiritual energy.

If you get up, you can only take advantage of us."

As he spoke, his face gradually became stern, as if he was thinking of some unforgettable past: "We have agreed, I don't care how you use him afterwards, but I will get the first kill! I will torture him."
