These officials were frightened on the surface, but in fact they were happy inside and followed the officers and soldiers down the mountain.
Only a few people kept their brows furrowed and unable to relax.
Even if something like this happened suddenly at Baoling Temple, there would be no need to invite officers and soldiers from the neighboring state capital, right? There are also defenders in Dongning!
As Magistrate Wu was walking, he suddenly thought of something.
"Where is Juru? Where is Juru, the abbot of Baoling Temple?"
He turned around to find someone, but was stopped by the officers and soldiers: "What are you doing? Keep walking! If you turn back one by one, the people behind you can still leave? This is a life-threatening matter, don't make trouble!"
Civil servants have always been more noble than military attachés. Normally, if Magistrate Wu was treated like this by an officer or soldier, he would be tortured to the point of death.
But at this critical moment, how can he care about this: "Master Jiru, the abbot of Baoling Temple, is a good friend of this officer. This little brother, please be accommodating..."
The officer and soldier shouted at him: "When did you turn around? Where are the others? It's all up to you. Wouldn't it be chaos? Master Jiang has given orders. Human lives are at stake. We won't talk about anything until we get down the mountain!"
After saying that, he ignored him and turned around and shouted loudly: "Hurry, hurry up, follow us! No chaos, come one by one!"
Magistrate Wu was so angry that his face was livid.
In normal times, would he pay attention to such a small soldier? He is just a corps commander, not even a military attache, but he dares to be so presumptuous in front of a fourth-grade prefect like him!
"Sir!" A close official comforted him, "Don't be angry with Qiu Ba. There is no need to offend him. Master Ji Ru has most likely dealt with the evil spirit. He is an eminent monk, and the Flying Immortal Stone belongs to Baoling Temple, so Qing Yu
The manager is going to help, don’t you think?”
This makes sense, but Magistrate Wu is still uneasy.
The old monk Ji Ru is very important...
The family members of the county prince's palace were also moved down the mountain.
The Lord of Anxiang County was lying by the window of the carriage, looking at the dark night outside.
"I wonder if my cousin is out of danger..." she whispered.
"The mountain fire has been extinguished, and they also said that they found my cousin, so everything will be fine." The Lord of Jinlin County said in a low voice.
Anxiang County Lord turned to look at his sister. Under the flickering wind lamp, Jinlin County Lord's expression was dark and unclear.
"Sister," she asked in a low voice, "are you sad?"
The Lord of Jinlin County smiled uncomfortably: "What?"
"My cousin was trapped with that Ming Qi. I guess I have to marry her after this incident." The head of Anxiang County tilted his head and thought for a while, "No, given the current situation of the Ming family, why should she be the head wife?
At most she’s a concubine!”
The Lord of Jinlin County reached out and touched her head, and sighed softly: "Little girl, please don't talk about your wife, concubines, etc."
The head of Anxiang County was not happy: "Sister, why have you become just like your mother..."
The Lord of Jinlin County said slowly: "Now I think what mother said makes sense. We are County Lords, so we naturally have a matching marriage. Why do we want to do so much?"
The head of Anxiang County blinked and realized something.
The two sisters stayed silent all the way and followed the convoy away from Baoling Temple.
When the carriage stopped and they were helped out of the car, the head of Anxiang County saw the surrounding scenery and was confused: "Where is this? Why don't you send us back to the palace?"
Someone came over and said, "Two county leaders, please go to the back office and have a rest first. You two don't need to ask too much about the things ahead. Sooner or later you will know."
The head of Anxiang County stared at this person: "Are you my cousin's maid?"
Ah Wan smiled and said: "Yes. The county master invites you!"
There was a voice in the distance, and it sounded like it belonged to Magistrate Wu.
"Jiang Wenfeng, what are you doing? I am the fourth-rank magistrate appointed by the emperor. What qualifications do you have to treat me like this?!"
What came next was the shouts of the officers and soldiers: "Don't make any noise! Your Excellency has an order, and you are here to wait and see!"
The night wind blew, and the two county heads felt a chill in their hearts.
It seems like something is different from before.
…
Yang Shu put down the shark leather umbrella in his hand, sat on the ground, looked up at the moon.
The faint light of the first quarter moon illuminates all the beauty and ugliness in the world.
"Master..."
Ah Xuan was about to persuade him, but he interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Just guard the stone steps."
He turned to look to the side.
Duofu didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and her body was glowing with red light. Mingwei hugged her and kept pressing the Tianling Gai with her palms.
A huge magic circle was drawn on the ground around them, which was bloody and shocking.
Seeing that their complexions were getting worse, Yang Shu thought for a moment and opened the other wrist.
Bright red blood dripped on the magic circle.
Ah Xuan was worried when he saw how much blood he was bleeding. When the bleeding stopped a little, he came over to bandage the wound and gave him hemostatic medicine.
This time Yang Shu had no objection.
"That's enough." Mingwei's voice was still weak, "If I start bleeding again, you'll have to lie down first."
Yang Shu smiled and put down the dagger.
Ah Xuan asked: "Can my blood work?"
"The blood of living people has a restraining effect on evil spirits." Mingwei said, "But it's not necessary now. His blood is the most useful."
"..." Ah Xuanxin said, since it is useful, why didn't you tell me earlier? He brought so many people, if one person puts a little bit of it, it can flood the Feixian Stone.
Fortunately, he didn't say it. If he did, Mingwei would reply to him. Since there is a better one, why choose the second-rate one?
"Ming San is dead?" she asked proactively.
Yang Shu said: "He took poison and committed suicide, the same way as the previous dead soldiers."
"..."
Seeing that she looked wrong, he asked: "What, is there a problem?"
"I just feel strange. How could someone like him die so easily?"
"Perhaps you have had enough over the years?" Yang Shu said, "It feels uncomfortable to be treated as a dead person even though you are still alive. After a long time, you have even forgotten whether you are dead or alive..."
He looked at the bloody formation on the ground and remained silent.
Mingwei smiled softly: "You seem to be very touched?"
Yang Shu chuckled: "How can I feel this? I just feel that people who are too bright-minded can easily get distracted."
"That's true."
Silence fell again.
In the direction of Baoling Temple, the sound of people gradually faded away.
The lights are like stars, so beautiful.
Duofu in Mingwei's arms suddenly trembled, his whole body twitched, and blood overflowed from his mouth and nose again. In the end, he vomited a large mouthful of blood, and then his whole body went limp.
"What's wrong with her?" Yang Shu asked in surprise, "Is she evil..."
Mingwei was more happy than surprised: "Great! She trapped the evil spirit."
"Trapped?"
"Yes. Duofu listened. Now she has made a prison with her own body to trap the evil spirits." Mingwei turned to ask Ah Xuan, "Is there a red rope?"
There was no such thing around Ah Xuan. After receiving Yang Shu's signal, he quickly ran down to search for it.
Not long after, Ah Xuan came up again and handed over a piece of red rope: "I opened a purse, is this okay?"
"Okay." Mingwei waved Yang Shu over, removed the bandage on his wrist, painstakingly soaked the red rope in blood, then cut it into sections, and tied Duofu's hands, feet, and neck with a special technique.
Ah Xuan felt heartbroken when he saw this. This girl Ming was so cruel. The young master’s wounds were all closed, and she even opened them to squeeze out the blood... so cruel!
"Okay." She picked up Duofu with difficulty.
When Yang Shu saw this, he immediately signaled Ah Xuan to take over.
"It's okay for now. You can take Duofu back and settle him down."
Hearing her tone, Ah Xuan asked, "Where is the girl?"
Mingwei glanced at Yang Shu and cast his gaze into the boundless night: "There is one more thing, I hope it's not too late."
