After leaving Luocheng, Qin Shaoyou did not immediately head southeast to search for Xue Xiaobao's whereabouts.
He led his men and rode towards the Jade Emperor Temple.
In Qin Shaoyou's view, there are many suspicious things about Xue Xiaobao.
According to Xue Qingshan, as soon as Xue Xiaobao ran away from home, he sent experienced night watchmen to search for the person in the direction divined by the Taoist priests of Jade Emperor Temple.
But four days passed and nothing was found.
The reason for this situation is that Xue Xiaobao has made great progress in concealing his form, and is even able to hide it from the experienced officials in the Demon Suppression Department.
Either there was an error in the divination of the Taoist priests of Jade Emperor Temple.
Or maybe the night watchmen didn't do their job well enough.
Qin Shaoyou went to Jade Emperor Temple this time just to ask Cui Yougui to help him do a new divination to see in which direction Xue Xiaobao was and what his situation was.
In addition, he also wanted to take Cui Yougui with him to find the person.
Senior Brother Cui, although he likes to brag and show off and sometimes is not very smart, it cannot be denied that he is still very capable in the field of Taoism.
Except for talismans.
When Qin Shaoyou and others rushed to the Jade Emperor Temple, Cui Youyou was sitting in the seat where Master Zhang used to sit, lecturing his junior brothers and sisters.
That tone, that accent, I learned so perfectly.
If Master Zhang was still in the Jade Emperor's Temple, even if Cui Yougui had a traitorous intention, he would not have the guts to sit in this seat.
After all, the old crooked neck tree outside the Jade Emperor's Temple was still standing, and he didn't want to be hung up and beaten again.
And the Taoist priests in Jade Emperor Temple would not give him this face and just listen to his lectures.
The reason why Cui Yougui is not being punished now is because before leaving for the capital, Master Zhang specifically asked his disciples to listen to Cui Yougui's instructions after he left.
Cui Yougui was surprised when he saw Qin Shaoyou and others arriving. He quickly stood up to greet him and asked, "Sir, what happened?"
He just likes to brag and show off, but he is not stupid. When he saw Zhu Xiucai, Cui Youxu and others wearing the uniforms of the general banner officers, he knew that these people were shown off by Qin Shaoyou when they were showing off their promotions in the Demon Suppression Division.
Asked to leave.
And Qin Shaoyou is not the kind of boss who likes bad people and good things. There must be a reason and urgency for him to do this.
"It has been four days since Xue Xiaobao ran away from home. My brother-in-law sent a night watchman to look for him, but he was never found. I have no choice but to come to you for help."
In front of a group of Taoist priests from Jade Emperor Temple, Qin Shaoyou gave Cui Yougui a lot of face and complimented him a few words before telling him what happened.
After listening, Cui Youyou glanced at the junior brothers and sisters in front of him, and said with some surprise: "Xue Xiaobao ran away from home, and you helped divine his whereabouts? How come I didn't know about this?"
A fair-faced Taoist priest said helplessly: "Senior Brother Cui, when you first came back, I wanted to report this matter to you. But as soon as I opened my mouth, you interrupted me and asked me to listen to you first. , I have nothing to report until you finish talking. I didn’t expect you to train me for so long, so I never found a chance to report."
"this……"
Cui Youyi was a little embarrassed and immediately skipped the topic and asked Qin Shaoyou: "Do you want me to divine Xue Xiaobao's whereabouts again?"
"That's right. I brought over Xue Xiaobao's birth date and the textbooks he used. Please help me see his current location and situation."
Qin Shaoyou took out a piece of paper with birth date written on it and a textbook used by Xue Xiaobao in the school, and handed them to Cui Youhang.
At the same time, he did not forget to apologize to the Taoist priest who helped Xue Qingshan do divination: "Senior brother, don't blame me. It's not that I don't believe in your ability. It's just that Xue Xiaobao has not been found after leaving home for several days. This is really weird."
The Taoist priest hurriedly bowed his head and said: "You're welcome, Mr. Qin. Brother Cui's divination ability is indeed better than ours. In fact, your company has not found Xue Xiaobao's whereabouts in the past two days. We are also suspecting that it is It’s not like there’s something wrong with the divination.”
Cui Youhang used divination skills and calculated Xue Xiaobao's birth date and other information while saying: "Junior Brother Zhou's divination skills are already very good, but of course they are still a little worse than mine. My divination skills are Old... ahem, even if Master is here, he feels sorry for himself."
Qin Shaoyou and the others have heard these words before.
But at this moment, looking at the reactions of the Taoist priests in the Jade Emperor Temple, no one raised any questions or refutations, which made them a little surprised: Could it be that Cui Yougui didn't brag about this matter?
Cui Youyou didn't know what everyone was thinking. After he said a word, he calmed down and began to do divination seriously.
After a while, Cui Youying had a strange look on his face after finishing the divination.
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but feel nervous and asked him what was going on.
"There is a force interfering with my divination."
Cui Yougui looked solemn.
"At first, the situation I divined was similar to that of Junior Brother Zhou, but just when I was about to end the divination, I noticed a force interfering with the divination... In other words, the situation we divined was not real, but artificial interference. The final result.”
"So, Xue Xiaobao is in danger now? He has even fallen into the hands of some demons and thieves?!" Qin Shaoyou asked, with a fierce look in his eyes and murderous intent.
"Not necessarily." Cui Youyou shook his head and said: "This disturbing force does not seem to be harming Xue Xiaobao, but it seems to be protecting him..."
Before Qin Shaoyou could continue to ask questions, Cui Youguil took the initiative and said: "Master Qin, don't worry now, wait until I use the Bagua table in the Jade Emperor Temple to do another divination to see if I can get rid of the interference and get a glimpse of the hidden truth. "
Qin Shaoyou knew about the Bagua Platform in the Jade Emperor Temple. It was just outside the main hall dedicated to the Jade Emperor. Many people who came to the Jade Emperor Temple to offer incense would pass by the Bagua Platform.
But it wasn't until today that Qin Shaoyou knew that this Bagua Taiwan was actually a supernatural object!
It's a miracle that Brother Cui didn't dismantle this supernatural object... Of course, it might not be a miracle, but the result of Zhang Zhenren breaking off a few belts.
Otherwise, how could the old crooked-neck tree outside Jade Emperor Temple have a crooked neck?
Arriving outside the Jade Emperor's Palace, Su Jianqing and Su Tingyu introduced Qin Shaoyou in a low voice.
It turns out that this Bagua platform was brought back by Master Zhang after he went out for some training. The origin of it is unknown to the disciples, but its effectiveness is very strong.
Not only is it helpful for the practice of Taoism, but it also greatly improves the success rate of alchemy, weapon refining and even divination.
Cui Youying quickly completed the second divination with the help of the Bagua Platform.
This time, he was no longer disturbed by the mysterious power and got a glimpse of the hidden truth.
However, he felt that he was able to glimpse the truth not because of the help of Bagua Tai, but more like the mysterious force recognized him and stopped interfering with him.
But...is it possible?
Cui Youyou hesitated to express these doubts, but only stated the result of his divination: "Xue Xiaobao is not in the southeast, he is due south of Luocheng, in Guankou County!"
"Guankou County?"
After Qin Shaoyou heard this familiar address, he was slightly startled, with a look of astonishment on his face.
'Zhang Xiaoni', who is suspected to be the prince, is in Guankou County, and Xue Xiaobao has also gone to Guankou County now...
Is this a coincidence? Or man-made?
If it weren't for the mysterious power that covered Xue Xiaobao's whereabouts, Qin Shaoyou might have thought that this incident was a coincidence.
But now he feels that the possibility of man-made causes may be even greater!
Who does that mysterious power come from?
Was he the one who lured Xue Xiaobao to Guankou County?
What exactly does he want to do?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Cui Yougui continue: "In addition, I also saw the color of blood and the light of the sword in the divination... This shows that Xue Xiaobao's situation is not completely worry-free, and there may be a disaster of blood and light!"
