The master of Ciyuan Pavilion is here for this trip. Regardless of the guests, he has brought with him a total of four masters who can take charge of their own affairs, namely Jiao, Zhu and Tian, the three shopkeepers, and Liu Yongxiang, the Taoist who sits in the pavilion.
These people have a high status in Ciyuan Pavilion. They are shareholder executives. They have different methods, but they are all very capable. It is precisely because of this that he can rest assured to open up such a temporary island on the island.
When I came to the station, I cited it in two places.
It stands to reason that the two shopkeepers Jiao and Tian are stationed on the island, and Huang Chenqujun is in charge, so it is naturally foolproof. However, if something like this happens, there is no other way. I can only put down the boat quickly and let me, Za.
Mao Xiaodao, the young master of Ciyuan Pavilion and others rowed towards the opposite side to understand the situation.
After landing on the island, we ran straight towards the camp and soon came to the grassland where several tents were set up. We saw Manager Tian scolding a few of his men with a gloomy look on his face.
The young master of Ciyuan Pavilion stopped Shopkeeper Tian and asked what was going on. Shopkeeper Tian told us that he and Lao Jiao were on duty at different times. He was on duty at midnight and Shopkeeper Jiao was on duty at midnight. He went to sleep after taking over his shift, but he didn't see him when he woke up.
Shopkeeper Jiao asked his subordinates, some said they were squatting in the grass to relieve themselves, others said they went to the lake to investigate, but after a careful search, they were not there, but they were missing.
Shopkeeper Tian couldn't find anyone and was panicking, so he sent a signal to Xunlong.
I'm a little strange, what about Mr. Huang Da? - If Mr. Huang Chenqu was here, according to his cultivation, even if he fell asleep, he would know every plant and tree around the camp, so naturally this would not happen.
However, shopkeeper Tian told us that Mr. Huang Da also left in the middle of the night, but he left a message saying that he sensed the presence of dragon breath and went to investigate first.
Mr. Huang Chenqu was acting alone again. I guess something happened, but as a result, the originally well-defended camp naturally became full of loopholes. Of course, the whereabouts of an expert like him are naturally not something that others can criticize. Then
Yizijian only came because of the face of the master of Ciyuan Pavilion, but if he wants others to obey the instructions in everything, it would be too difficult for him.
Experts naturally have the privileges of experts. After what Shopkeeper Tian said, everyone was silent and did not dare to complain. They just passed the news back to the Xunlong, and then searched around the camp, trying to find some clues.
Come.
But it was a coincidence. Next to an aquatic tree behind the camp, we found a few messy footprints. After identifying them, we determined that they belonged to Shopkeeper Jiao. Looking at the direction of the tracks, they seemed to be heading towards the dense forest.
Run deep into the depths. Why did Shopkeeper Jiao appear here, and why did he leave in a hurry without even saying hello?
We all had doubts in our minds. The sudden change completely interrupted our previous plans and we were a little overwhelmed. At this time, another message came from the ship, telling us that it was urgent to save people. We should investigate first and be sure to find Shopkeeper Jiao.
, you want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when dead.
Along with the news came Taoist Liu Yongxiang. He had been calculating the specific location of the real dragon last night. He stayed up all night and his eyes were red. This Taoist is a master of trace science and is best at tracking and finding.
After guessing the secret, he greeted us and asked shopkeeper Tian to stay here while we led the team and searched deep into the woods.
Someone went missing early in the morning. This was not good news. Zamao Xiaodao and I walked silently behind the team. There was sparse sunlight falling between the branches above our heads, and the chirping of birds kept ringing in the forest. That Liu Yongxiang
He really lived up to his reputation. He stopped and walked all the way, and he was able to find traces from the smallest details and chase them all the way.
Unknowingly, after walking for a quarter of an hour, we walked through the woods and came to the depression we had seen earlier. Looking at the puddle covered with reeds and grass, the leader Liu Yongxiang sniffed, ran to us, and said:
"Dao Zhang Xiao, Brother Lu, do you feel that something is wrong with the current situation?"
Zamao Xiaodao worked hard all night and felt a little sleepy. He yawned and asked what was going on?
Liu Yongxiang touched his nose and said that the traces of this journey were a bit too obvious. Not to mention a guy like me who has undergone special training and has some experience, even those who are a little more careful will know how to go this way.
But I'm thinking about another question, that is, how could someone who could quietly lure Shopkeeper Jiao away be so careless and leave so many loopholes?
I frowned and asked, is there a possibility that shopkeeper Jiao came on his own and didn't notice these details, so that's why?
Liu Yongxiang shook his head and said that was not true. Lao Jiao had already been restrained over there in the metasequoia forest. What I am worried about now is that these traces are actually a trap. We are following him this time because we are following him.
We just have to go wherever he wants us to go - if this is really the case, I'm afraid our trip will be dangerous.
Liu Yongxiang's words made us froze. We thought about the whole thing carefully from beginning to end. It really did mean something like this. At this time, Zamao Xiaodao also raised his head and asked the Taoist sitting in the pavilion, "You just murmured to yourself."
I'm talking about Longhu Mountain, what's going on?
Liu Yongxiang took out a piece of red thread from his arms, spread it out for us to see, and said in a low tone: "I found this thing just now at the scene where I found Lao Jiao being restrained. This thing is a sword spike, this kind of beating
The knotting technique and the material of the red thread should be owned by Longhushan. From the beginning, I was a little convinced that this time it might be the hand of Longhushan. However, the further I went, the more something felt wrong. I always felt like someone was being
Holding the nose.
We nodded, there is only one truth, but often the easiest thing to get is probably set up deliberately by others. The purpose is probably to let us compete with Longhu Mountain so that he can reap the benefits. So, who is this person?
Who is it, the remaining members of the Fish Head Gang on the island, or... the Laoshan sect who hastily bid farewell?
After our thoughts were guided in this way, we began to become suspicious. Countless possibilities emerged, but they could not be verified. Just when we were uncertain about whether to advance or retreat, a row of figures suddenly appeared in the reed swamp opposite. Seeing this movement, a warning was given to everyone.
They all became nervous and hid in the nearby reeds.
The people on the opposite side seemed to have noticed us, and hurriedly ran forward. As they ran, there seemed to be cold reflections from their weapons.
This group of people was full of momentum. They didn't hide like us, but rushed over at the fastest speed. In a moment, their footsteps were rushing, and the reed poles were broken one after another. The first thing that caught my eye was a slovenly man wearing a black and yellow Taoist robe.
The old Taoist priest, wearing blue leggings, black cloth shoes, and a sandalwood dragon crutch in his hand, looks like a Taoist man.
This was just a shadow. He suddenly appeared, and before his toes even touched the ground, he shouted loudly: "Who are you, you idiot, you want to ambush us here? It's just a wishful thinking. Come out!"
The sandalwood dragon crutch in his hand shook slightly, and suddenly there was a yellow light shining on it. He swung it towards us, and with a roar, a rolling tornado was born out of thin air, blowing towards our hiding place, blowing the reeds away.
There was a chaos, and everyone's figure was completely exposed. Seeing us crawling out of the reeds in embarrassment, the old Taoist laughed loudly and cursed: "Humph, you are so good, but you have the nerve to come with us.
To cause trouble in front of Longhu Mountain is to risk your own life! I... Hey, is it you?"
This old Taoist priest is none other than Master Wangyue, who ranks second among the many masters in Longhu Mountain. This time he led a team to chase, but unexpectedly, among the people who jumped out from the grass, there were me and Zamao Xiaodao.
On the side, he couldn't help but frowned that rare eyebrow, and his voice became deeper and deeper: "I was still guessing just now, which master dared to stroke my Longhushan's beard and robbed me from under our noses?
But since it’s you two, I’m not surprised. Lu Zuo, Xiao Keming, for the sake of Master Tao, as long as you can hand the person back to me intact, I won’t kill you two.
Already..."
Master Mochizuki's words were very dignified, but we were a little stunned. What on earth is going on? Why do you want to take someone away from us as soon as we meet?
Those Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain rushed over and surrounded Zhenren Wangyue with all the stars holding the moon. Counting them, there were seven in total. Except for the short and fat man Luo Dingquan, I didn’t know any of them. I wanted to come to Longhu Mountain to the end.
They all came together anyway. Seeing that we had no reaction, Luo Dingquan stepped forward and shouted: "Why don't you call me Junior Brother Luo out quickly? Do you really think that I, Longhu Mountain, is easy to bully?"
The seven Taoist priests beside Master Wangyue are all in high spirits and full of energy. They are all wise men. They are quite powerful when they are surrounded by them like this.
We didn't say anything, but Liu Yongxiang who was next to us spoke up: "Dear Taoist brothers, I'm the Taoist Liu Yongxiang who sits in the Ciyuan Pavilion. We came here because of the mysterious disappearance of a shopkeeper in our pavilion, and we have been chasing him all the way. Look.
Take a look and see if there is any misunderstanding here?"
"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? It's just that you were here to ambush us, but now that you saw our Senior Uncle Wangyue, you got scared. Needless to say, my Senior Uncle also said that he would hand over Junior Brother Luo and I would spare you.
life, otherwise..."
Next to Master Wangyue, there is a young Taoist with a face full of arrogance. He is full of brilliance and is one of the best masters. However, the words he speaks are very harsh. I see him rushing to talk, but Master Wangyue has no objection. I want to come to this person.
Our status should not be low, so we were calm. However, the young master of Ciyuan Pavilion was extremely angry and said stubbornly: "Do you think we are afraid of you? Do you know who the Taoist Xiao next to me is? Li Daozi, you know
Don’t know? When it comes to talismans, who in the world can compare with him?"
Fang Zhilong was just angry in his heart, but when Master Wangyue heard it, it was so harsh. At that moment, he was staring at the trail of miscellaneous hair, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "Bibi?"
Zamao Xiaodao was silent for three seconds and nodded: "Okay, Bibi!"
