Seven hundred and fortieth chapters close scratch one
Soon the white light finished shining.
The accompanying monks slowly walked through the light door one by one, all of whom were preparing to serve as coordinated followers, sneaking into society and gathering information.
Zhao Wumian gave instructions for everyone to disperse down the mountain and try to get in touch with the real world.
Soon there were only a few people left on the mountain.
Several Taoist boys in the Taoist temple were frightened by the sudden appearance of a large number of people, and they hurriedly hid in their rooms and did not dare to come out.
On the contrary, it seemed quiet.
At this time, the officers and soldiers who came to pursue the mountain also arrived.
"Mr. Phils, you see it's already afternoon now. If it's night, this mountain will be even more dangerous."
Xu Daotai, the leader of the government and army, approached the accompanying foreign policemen in a low voice to please them.
"No, just light the torch. The criminal must be caught and brought to justice today!"
Phils is a tall, thin, white-skinned, blue-eyed foreigner with short gray-brown curly hair and a somewhat mean look.
At this moment, standing at the bottom of the mountain and looking up, my eyes were full of worry.
"There was such a big murder just on the edge of the concession, which killed 21 people! Even Zhao Xinde, who had a good relationship with the concession, was included.
This is a serious provocation to the entire Anu Empire!"
Therefore, he was ordered by his superior to solve the case as soon as possible. Otherwise, who would be willing to come to the deep mountains and forests so late at night. Instead of being surrounded by pretty and cute bar maids, he was surrounded by these short yellow-skinned monkeys!
Just looking at this group of people makes me sick to my stomach.
Phils glanced at the group of officers and soldiers with disdain. All of them were exhausted from smoking. If they weren't wearing this layer of skin, I'm afraid a few stronger farmers could kill them.
"Yes, yes, yes." Xu Daotai nodded and bowed, "That's what the foreign master said."
"Let's go! Go up the mountain!"
Phils waved his hand and told everyone to go up the mountain. If they got to the Taoist temple before dark, they might still be able to have dinner.
Groups of officers and soldiers had no choice but to follow the road up the mountain.
But after walking a few steps, I felt weak all over, and my saliva and nose started to flow wildly. It was obvious that I was addicted to cigarettes.
The foreigner Phils became furious and kicked each of them several times, but it was still useless.
He immediately cursed in Anu language.
Xu Daotai was helpless. Although he did not smoke, it was impossible for him to do anything without this group of officers and soldiers. I heard that the murderer had killed more than ten strong men in a row.
"I say, Lord Phils." He was about to persuade the other party to go back first, but immediately he seemed to hear some inexplicable sound in his ears.
Blah blah blah blah
It seemed to be the sound of metal colliding and rubbing.
"What?"
He turned to look in the direction of the source of the sound.
At this time, everyone else also looked in the direction of the sound, feeling a little nervous.
"Are you afraid that you encountered some wild beast?"
A voice couldn't help but whisper.
No one answered, but soon everyone had their answer.
A beautiful woman in heavy silver armor was slowly walking out of the woods. Her attire was no different from that of an ancient general or marshal.
"Which theatrical troupe's leader is here?"
Xu Daotai was stunned. How could such a woman wearing heavy armor appear in a place like this?
The heavy armor must still be made of paper, but it is quite exquisitely made.
He was still in the mood to appreciate the other person's heroic appearance.
The woman had a cold face and aloof eyes, looking at herself and others as if she were looking at some kind of weak ant.
The woman slowly pulled out a long sword with a very wide and thick blade. The moment she finally pulled it out, there was a buzzing sound and it started to tremble violently.
Xu Daotai was rich in experience, and his heart suddenly trembled.
"Fuck! It's a real sword! Load the musket! Kill her!!"
He immediately yelled.
Before all the officers and soldiers could react, they saw the woman disappear in the blink of an eye.
A creeping chill instantly rushed up from the tailbone, and everyone present was covered in ice and unable to move at all.
Chichichichi!!
Blood continued to splash with the crisp sound of the sword cutting through the body.
"run!!"
Xu Daotai finally heard the screams of the foreigner. Several fast-moving officers and soldiers shot him with guns, but failed to hit him. His neck was cut off with a sword like a carrot, and blood spurted out like a fountain.
The woman only had a little blood spattered on her face. When she appeared again, everyone around her had fallen to the ground.
She held her sword at an angle and walked calmly to her side.
"Holy shit!" Xu Daotai ran away with goosebumps all over his body.
But before he ran a few steps, he felt a pain in his back. He felt an indescribable pain welling up in his heart. His vision went black and he completely lost consciousness.
The officers and soldiers were destroyed overnight, and all of them, including the foreign supervisor, disappeared without a trace.
This incident caused an earthquake-like sensation in the city.
It doesn't matter if the officers and soldiers are dead, the key is that there is still a foreigner to supervise.
The police station in the concession immediately inspected the Admiral's Mansion and sent troops to solve the problem.
Large numbers of officers and soldiers were mobilized from the military camps near the city and rushed towards the barren mountain where the Taoist temple was located.
But soon, all the officers and soldiers left just as quickly as they came. The concession side unilaterally withdrew the request and ordered all the officers and soldiers to return directly. This time the case was completely handed over to the concession for settlement.
So in less than half a month, this serious case of human life was reduced to a major matter and a trivial matter, and nothing happened.
All disturbances have returned to calm.
Everyone's attention was drawn to another major event.
During the Hanzhong Uprising, fire burned throughout the entire city of Hanzhong, and several nearby large cities were also connected.
The uprising military trumpeted the rescue, and more than 40,000 people gathered to collect and occupy the Hanzhong Armory. Officially saying no to foreign aggressive forces!
The imperial court was furious, and foreign envoys came to Beijing one after another to protest strongly.
So the mighty army of conquerors and quellers began to march towards Hanzhong.
Hanzhong is close to the sea, and there is also a joint fleet of the three countries approaching the seaside, carrying out six-site artillery deterrence.
In fact, so far, the number of rebel armies is quite large, but this rescue force is the only army that dares to comprehensively resist foreign forces.
Therefore, it received the greatest pressure and the greatest rebound.
The interests of foreign forces in the territories under their jurisdiction were infringed, and fearing that this would become a common occurrence, they took the initiative to dispatch fleets to assist in suppressing the situation with force.
Sun Guotao, the commander of the rescue force, faced suppression and struggled to hold on to Hanzhong.
The news soon spread across the country via telegrams. Under the pressure of foreign forces, other surrounding warlords also began to send troops to save the country.
And in a chaotic situation.
Lin's newly established passage was filled with groups of monks and Taoist soldiers coming from the Nether Realm.
A small Hushan Sect began to be established in the suburbs of Xianzhou City.
Standing on the edge of the pier, in front of the window of a residential building, Lin Xin looked at the sparkling golden light on the sea. Behind him stood several disciples who came to report the situation.
"Master, the consul of the concession has been completely controlled. The diplomatic envoy has also been dealt with."
Zhao Wumian stood behind him and whispered.
"There are so many demons and monsters in this world that have infiltrated my human race's bloodline. Jin Jianyan, although they are all very weak ordinary people, can actually suppress the general trend of my human race. It's incredible."
Princess Zhou Yan of Huaiyang on the other side sighed. She was the second batch of disciples from the Netherworld who arrived.
"There is also a weapon called a musket, which has its merits. It is simple to make, but it is quite powerful."
"This is a different civilization. Apart from the rebels, are there any other changes recently?"
Lin Xin turned around and asked.
Although the spiritual awareness of several disciples is not as good as his, when spread out, the exploration range is much larger than what he could explore alone.
"There seems to be some changes. There is an inexplicable force gathering around the rescue gun." Zhao Wumian frowned.
"The disciples have sent people to investigate."
"How are the external forces established?"
Lin Xin asked again. He knew what Zhao Wumian was talking about was luck.
"The external forces have now spread to more than 200 people in Xianzhou City, and they are all followers of our Taoism who are in awe and piety. It's just that the people here are extremely stubborn and have very little trust in us." Zhao Wumian said.
I feel a little helpless here.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you take root here, Xianzhou City has a unique geographical location and can be used as a stronghold for our sect to establish a shipyard."
Lin Xin smiled lightly.
Suddenly his ears twitched.
"Okay. You can leave first. The family of this body is here. Now is not the time to expose it to outsiders."
"Yes, Master."
The three disciples walked out from the other side door one after another.
Lin Xin stood alone in the room and waited for a while. Soon, there was a knock on the door.
dong dong dong
"Dad, are you there?"
"Xiaoying? Come in."
Lin Xin said calmly.
The door lock suddenly clicked automatically and the lock opened.
Chen Ying opened the door and came in, and immediately saw her old father in front of the window.
Compared with before, her old father's appearance had not changed at all, but for some reason, she always felt that there was something different about the father in front of her.
"Dad, thanks to the connections you found in the concession, the matter was suppressed this time. And the big case that broke out in the barren mountain diverted their attention. Otherwise, our Chen family might all be involved this time.
Completely implicated."
Chen Ying was a little scared when she thought of this.
"They're just a few old friends. You came to see me. What's the matter?"
Lin Xin said calmly.
Chen Ying opened her mouth, wanting to ask. In these days, since her father came down from the mountain, she has been interacting with some strangers.
She had been wondering about those people for a long time, not knowing exactly who they were. But at this moment, she wanted to ask but couldn't say anything.
Until now, when it came to her lips, she just said a few words.
"Dad, you should be more careful recently. The court has begun to ban Taoist priests again. It's best not to wear Taoist robes when you go out."
"I understand, don't worry." Lin Xin smiled. "If you have nothing to do, go back and have a good rest. It's not easy for you to manage the business every day."
"Okay"
Chen Ying had no choice but to give a few more warnings before turning and leaving.
Lin Xin watched her leave, his eyes slightly dazed, but his attention was not on this room at all. Instead, his spiritual sense had already spread to no one knows where. (To be continued.) 8
