Back in the front yard, Qin Shaoyou found Cui Yougui, Su Tingyu, Su Jianqing and Wenzhu, and prepared to send the four of them back to Jade Emperor Temple.
On the one hand, they are asked to go back and notify the Taoist priest of Yuhuangguan, so that if the situation changes, they can immediately come to Luocheng for reinforcement or response.
On the other hand, after Cui Yougui's squandering these days, the talismans prepared for him by Taoist Tuhuang have almost been consumed, and he needs to go back to Jade Emperor Temple to find other junior brothers and sisters to help replenish them.
The last time he returned to Jade Emperor Temple, he was busy showing off, and before he could mention the talisman, he was taken away by Qin Shaoyou who encountered an unexpected situation.
In addition, Wenzhu also wants to bring the big ice lump that Bai Qingjiang Shuibo gave to Qin Lin back to the Jade Emperor Temple, and together with several other Taoist priests who are good at alchemy medicine in the temple, study how to use it.
Use this piece of thousand-year-old ice to prepare a potion that can dispel the fire poison in Qin Lin's body.
"Sir, let's go with you."
Zhu Xiucai, Sun Xianzong and others asked for help.
Qin Shaoyou shook his head and said: "No, you stay here and help the red-clothed envoy upgrade the traps in the Demon Division in Luocheng Town. Just ask the monk and Day and Night Parade to come with me."
After a pause, he motioned for the two of them to come closer and lowered his voice: "Watch what the red-clothed messenger does and try to steal a move."
"Don't worry, sir, I'm the best at this kind of thing." Zhu Xiucai grinned and said proudly: "As long as I want to, let alone learn skills secretly, I can also steal their underpants.
A piece of cake.”
Sun Xianzong heard what he said and immediately answered: "Don't worry, sir, I will keep an eye on the scholar and let him only steal what he should steal."
Zhu Xiucai was unhappy and turned to glare at him and said, "Old Sun, can't you tell I'm joking when you say this? Who are you on? Why are you following the old trick and targeting me?"
Sun Xianzong had a straight face and replied seriously: "I am on your side, and I am not targeting you."
Zhu Xiucai was stunned for a moment, and then he hummed: "Well, you old grandson, what are you not good at? You actually learned to flatter, you have been led astray by the monk!" After a pause, he said: "Me too.
If you stand with the Lord, you have to stand behind me!"
"Okay, stop slapping your beard in front of me and hurry up to help the red messenger upgrade the traps. Finish your work early so that you can rest early. You have worked hard these past few days."
After Qin Shaoyou sent away these two men, he went to say hello to Xue Qingshan and Qin Qiaoer.
Mrs. Xue Qin was taking Qin Qiao'er to ask questions. She heard that Qin Shaoyou was leaving the city and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"It's going to get dark soon. Is it dangerous to leave the city at this time? Otherwise, why don't we wait until tomorrow?"
Qin Shaoyou smiled and comforted: "It's okay, Third Sister. During this period of time, I have become accustomed to walking at night. Besides, Jade Emperor Temple is right next to Luocheng. If anything happens, my brother-in-law and Sixth Sister can take care of me in time."
Someone come and save me."
Xue Qingshan stood beside him, smiling cautiously: "Madam, please be at ease. This guy Shaoyou's cultivation level is almost the same as mine. When an ordinary evil spirit encounters him, he will give you troubles." He provides business and achievements. If you are really unlucky and encounter a powerful evil spirit, not to mention that Liu Mei and I can provide timely reinforcements, Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch will never let it go. Besides, I have also heard that the Jade Emperor Guanli The statue of the spirit official enshrined here is also a good match for this boy, and he will never sit back and watch him in danger."
Qin Qiao'er also comforted her with a few words, and Xue Qin just gave up her worries, but still told Qin Shaoyou to pay attention to safety and go back early.
Qin Shaoyou naturally said a series of 'Okay, okay' and 'Yes, yes, yes'.
After saying hello, Qin Shaoyou asked the monk to mount his horse and go with him to the day and night parade. Together with Cui Youxian, Su Jianqing, Su Tingyu and Wenzhu, he led the horse out of Luocheng Town Yaosi.
After passing the city gate, he mounted his horse and galloped towards Fengyu Mountain.
More than ten miles outside the city, Qin Shaoyou and the others saw a makeshift camp.
The camp was built around a dilapidated earth temple, with a wooden fence surrounding the outermost part. It was sharpened to guard against wild beasts that might appear at night.
In this camp, there are also fully armed night watchmen, guards and guardsmen.
They patrol the camp and maintain order, not only to warn of possible dangers in the dark night, but also to guard the people in the camp.
With the help of the piles of bonfires lit around the camp, Qin Shaoyou and the others could clearly see the situation inside the camp.
This is a camp for refugees.
After receiving the order issued by Qin Qiaoer as the red-clad envoy, the government here in Luocheng did not dare to neglect, and immediately joined forces with the Demon Suppression Department and the Guards Station to set up a temporary camp here.
In addition to checking whether any of the refugees were under a voodoo curse, they also used centralized management to arrange for these refugees to build bridges and roads, and compensated them with corn and work-for-relief methods to provide relief to these refugees.
The prefect of Luocheng still had some skills. He knew that relying on the power of the government alone to provide relief to the victims was not enough, so he mobilized the wealthy people of Luocheng to get them involved.
In addition to allowing rich people with fields to recruit refugees to help with farm work, some rich people whose fields are close to rivers are also allowed to recruit refugees to clean up the silt and dredge the rivers.
These refugees, led by police officers and guardsmen, went to work in various places during the day, and returned to this temporary camp to rest at night.
With a mouthful of food to eat and a relatively safe place to spend the night, these refugees temporarily settled down.
At the same time, the security around Luocheng has also been greatly restored.
Qin Shaoyou stood on horseback and observed outside the temporary camp for a while. Seeing that it was well organized and the refugees were busy making porridge and eating food, he sighed: "Brother-in-law and the others have arranged this, so there are countless people alive, and they have accumulated great virtue."
"It's true." Monk Ma clasped his hands together, chanted the Buddha's name, and then sighed: "I really don't know how long this terrible world will last."
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
Inside the camp, someone noticed their team wandering outside, and immediately attracted the night watchman to stand on the railing and ask questions.
"One of our own."
Monk Ma took out the night watchman's badge and dispelled the opponent's hostility.
"Let's go." Qin Shaoyou greeted, patted his horse and led everyone to continue galloping in the direction of Fengyu Mountain.
When they arrived at Jade Emperor Temple, Qin Shaoyou sent Cui Yougui and Su Tingyu into the temple and did not wait for long.
After making some arrangements, he offered incense and tribute to Wang Lingguan, and promised that the new dishes would be delivered as soon as they were ready. Then he said goodbye to the Taoist priests of Yuhuang Temple, and together with Monk Ma, rode back to Luocheng.
By this time, the sky had turned completely dark.
A blood moon hung in the night sky, making the night no longer dark, but showing a bit of strange blood red.
Some wild beasts and evil spirits began to appear quietly under the cover of darkness.
They were even following Qin Shaoyou and Monk Ma from a distance.
Desire made them want to pounce on Qin Shaoyou and Monk Ma, but their intuition and reason prevented them from moving.
They didn't move, but Qin Shaoyou moved, calling out Ye Xunyou and asking him to drive away wild beasts and eliminate evil spirits.
Mianyuan County is under the jurisdiction of Luocheng. It is reasonable for the night patrol in Mianyuan County Town God's Temple to help with patrol duty in Luocheng, right?
There is nothing wrong with even expanding the scope of work to Luocheng someday...
Soon, Qin Shaoyou and Monk Ma saw the refugee camp again.
But at this moment, there was a burst of noise and screaming from the camp.
problem occurs?
Is there a refugee mutiny?
Or has an evil beast broken into this camp?
Or maybe there are spies from Qingtang and Black Lotus who are causing trouble?
Qin Shaoyou didn't have time to think about it, he immediately called to the horse monk and galloped towards the camp.
At the same time, he even sent a Japanese patrol to let him enter the refugee camp first to explore the situation inside.
