"I am only responsible for preventing the demons who steal demon spirits from escaping the capital. I leave the task of checking those who enter the city to you." Qin Yao thought for a moment, then turned to Zhong Kui and said.

With the original movie as a reference, he knew very well the reality of the convoy under the city.

As expected, the heroine Snow Demon was sitting on the carriage, and all the Loulan beauties in the convoy were fairies from the devil world...

Once these goblins enter the city, they will definitely attract Zhang Daoxian's attention, and then he will be able to relax a little bit.

They say it is easy to fish in muddy water. In fact, the muddier the water, the easier it is to hide...

Zhong Kui was just an ordinary demon slayer at the moment. He was naturally weak against a master like Qin Yao.

Therefore, even if he was the nominal commander-in-chief of Hudu, he could only run down the city to check the convoy.

"Who is sitting in the carriage?"

After taking a few of his subordinates to look through the convoy's parcel boxes, Zhong Kui held the handle of the knife in his hand and came to the tall carriage.

Inside the carriage, a pair of bare hands lifted the curtain, revealing a pretty face as pure as ice.

"Xue'er~" Zhong Kui looked at it in a daze and murmured.

"Xue Qing, my little girl, has met the adults."

Wearing a silver wreath on her head and a white robe, the unparalleled beauty of ice and snow walked lightly on her lotus steps and stepped out of the carriage.

"Xue Qing?" Zhong Kui frowned slightly: "Aren't you Xue'er?!"

"My lord must have recognized the wrong person." Xue Qing said lightly: "This is the first time in my life that this little girl has come here."

Zhong Kui stared at her for a long time, then slowly backed away, raised his hand and said, "Let her go!"

The soldiers blocking the convoy immediately dispersed. Xue Qing glanced at Zhong Kui indifferently and turned back to the carriage.

"Walk."

At the front of the motorcade, a dark-skinned woman waved her arm, and the motorcade immediately took action and soon passed through the city gate.

"We are a dance troupe from Loulan. We will perform wherever we go. In the next seven days, every night, we will hold a song and dance meeting. I hope you will come to support us." After entering the city, the dark-skinned woman raised her hands to pedestrians from all directions.

, said enthusiastically.

At the same time, a veiled Loulan beauty stood on a carriage, showing off her body to the people without any scruples, twitching her fingers, making countless men swallow their saliva.

In this Hudu city, you would normally be lucky to see one such beauty, but today you saw dozens of them at once, which was really dazzling and confusing.

"Zhong Kui, go and invite Qin Yao to the singing and dancing competition tonight." Just as Zhong Kui stood in front of the city gate, recalling the snowy elf who suddenly appeared in his life three years ago and then suddenly disappeared, his ears

Suddenly, Zhang Daoxian's instructions rang out.

After standing there in silence for a moment, Zhong Kui returned to the city gate tower with his sword in hand, stopped in front of the huge parasol, and said with a smile: "Taoist Master Qin, let's go to the song and dance festival together tonight."

Qin Yao shook his head: "At night, people are at their most relaxed. I have to guard the gate tower here to prevent the soldiers from releasing the demons due to negligence."

Zhong Kui thought for a while and said: "There may not be a singing and dancing festival in Hudu for three years. It would be a pity to miss it. How about this, you go with me at night, and I will ask the immortal to guard the gate tower at night."

Qin Yao thought about it and immediately guessed that this invitation should be Zhang Daoxian's instruction, otherwise Zhong Kui would not be so insistent and should have given up when he first refused.

"Forget it, since you said so, how can I refute your face?"

"Thank you, Taoist Master Qin." Zhong Kui said gratefully.

Qin Yao waved his hands, closed his eyes, and began to ponder Zhang Daoxian's thoughts.

What is certain is that the other party has not completely ruled out the possibility of their master and apprentice committing the crime.

Let Zhong Kui invite you to participate in a singing and dancing competition. The main purpose should be to make yourself "move".

In this crisis-ridden moment, if you talk too much, you will make more mistakes, and if you do too much, you will make more mistakes. It is better to be still than to move...

That night.

The Loulan convoy pulled up a tent in an open space and lit a bonfire. Vendors in the city smelled the business opportunities and set up stalls here one after another, creating a lively night market.

Zhang Daoxian stood on the city gate building, facing the night market, his eyes precisely locked on the two people walking among the bustling crowd.

"Taoist Master Qin, where are you from?" Zhong Kui asked.

Qin Yao: "Wandering around the world, living in no fixed place, so there is no place to come."

"What is the purpose of traveling around the world?" Zhong Kui asked.

Qin Yao smiled and said: "Of course it's for practice."

"How high is your cultivation level?"

"It's just so-so, but it can't be compared with the immortals anyway."

While chatting, the two came to the largest tent. They saw a dense crowd of men surrounding the tent with three floors inside and three floors outside. Considering Zhong Kui's height, it was impossible to see clearly what was going on inside.

But fortunately, as an official, he has privileges, but everyone who sees him avoids him, thus forcibly making way for a passage.

Qin Yao caught his light and walked straight to the front row. Looking around, in the middle of the tent, a group of girls wearing colorful long skirts, exposing their snow-white arms and thighs, twisting their slender waists and dancing barefoot to follow the music

An almost magical dance.

The men on the three floors inside and outside were stunned. Except for the sound of musical instruments and dancing, there was no noise in the whole place.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the dance ended and the dancers bowed and exited. A group of cute girls with wine jars hanging on their bodies walked around the stage and sold drinks to the surrounding spectators with a smile.

This jar is not big, it can hold half a catty of wine at most, but the price is one hundred yuan per jar, which is quite expensive.

But now Zhong Kui has achieved financial freedom. He directly took out his gold and silver and bought nine jars of wine tied with a rope from a girl. He hung it around his neck like the girls. However, his appearance was too fierce, so that the overall image

Just like Sha Wujing with nine skulls hanging on his head.

"Please drink." Zhong Kui took out a jar of wine and handed it to Qin Yao, smiling.

Qin Yao waved his hand: "You can drink, I quit drinking."

Zhong Kui silently retracted his arm, pulled out the red cloth stopper on the jar, smelled the fragrance of the wine released, and praised: "This wine is indeed delicious."

"The highlight is here." Qin Yao said softly as he looked at the dancers in front of them on their way to the stage.

Zhong Kui took a sip of Loulan wine, savoring the sweet and spicy taste. In his dark eyes, a woman dressed in silver slowly came over, appeared in his eyes, and reflected in his heart.

"Xue'er..."

"My name is Xue Qing, and I am the leader of this team." The woman came to the center of the stage and smiled brightly: "Next, I will perform an illusion for everyone. I hope it can bring you a moment of happiness."

"Okay!" A tall and strong man in the crowd clapped excitedly.

Afterwards, the audience burst into applause...

Not to mention the illusion that the other party said, this woman's appearance alone is worthy of such cheers.

Xue Qing looked at the big man and said with a smile: "What do you want?"

The big man wanted to say I want you, but in front of so many people, he was too embarrassed to say it: "I want money, a lot of money."

"Do you also want money?" Xue Qing asked everyone with a smile.

"think!!!"

The response from everyone was deafening.

Xueqing raised her arms, turned her hands, and suddenly a series of banknotes fell from the tent, landing on many people's heads, shoulders, and even in their arms.

"Fifty taels!"

"One hundred taels!"

"Seventy taels!"

Everyone present grabbed the banknotes in their hands and danced with excitement, their faces flushed.

Everyone who could see her presence saw the banknotes falling like snowflakes, and among these people, only Qin Yao and Zhong Kui did not reach out.

"Don't you two love money?" Xue Qing quickly focused on them and asked with a smile.

"You already said it was an illusion." Zhong Kui said calmly: "Since it's a fake, why bother reaching out?"

Xue Qing smiled and said: "The illusion is fake, but their happiness at the moment is real! You two live too understandingly, so you wouldn't have this happiness."

Zhong Kui turned around and looked at the almost crazy audience, who were silent.

"Zhong Kui, I'm going back first." Qin Yao suddenly said.

"This Taoist Priest." Xue Qing saw him wearing Taoist robes and addressed him as Taoist Priest: "But what did Xue Qing do badly that made you unhappy?"

Qin Yao waved with his back to her and walked out of the tent without hesitation.

Zhong Kui looked at Xue Qing, then at Qin Yao, finally gritted his teeth and followed the latter to leave the place.

Although he had many questions to ask Xue Qing, the most important thing now was to help the immortal determine whether the theft case had anything to do with Qin Yao.

However, when he squeezed through the crowd and reached the outside of the tent, Qin Yao had already disappeared.

"Zhong Kui, come to the city gate tower." Just as he was hesitating whether to go to the Governor's Mansion to find Qin Yao or go back to talk to Xue Qing, Zhang Daoxian's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"call……"

Zhong Kui exhaled a long breath, lifted his spirits and lightened his body, heading towards the city gate all the way to Juechen.

"Immortal."
