Chapter 157 There must be an explanation for this matter
"Put it away quickly. It's a good thing. There are no marks on it. The little fox girl didn't play any tricks."
Zhong Wenyong sent a message to remind him that although his cultivation was gone, he still had vision.
Zhang Wenfeng shook his sword back, took the Bihan Crystal with his left hand and wiped it on the black cloth bag, put the treasure into the storage space, turned around slowly, still holding the sword on guard, and waited for the three people from a distance to arrive.
There was a flash of sword light in the air, and a figure appeared ten feet away.
"It was you who reported the news? Why?"
The visitor was a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist priest. He looked up and down at Zhang Wenfeng, who was wearing a Taoist robe, and asked with a serious face.
The law enforcement guard's three-ring warning firework should not be used lightly. If you use it, you must encounter a life-threatening incident, or find a monster that is extremely difficult to deal with.
Zhang Wenfeng glanced at the light golden token on the opponent's waist, clasped his fists and replied: "I encountered Xin Yue, the fox girl of the three-tailed demon fox tribe, and was defeated by the attack, so the fireworks sent a message to disturb the Taoist priest."
He explained the reasons in a concise and detailed manner. The person in front of him was very unfamiliar, so it was impossible for him to tell everything.
"Xinyue?...Where did she go?"
"North."
Zhang Wenfeng pointed to the woods beside the road.
The Taoist priest who asked the question took out a bronze mirror with his left hand, looked around quickly, and then flew after him into the forest. By the time Wu Qianping and the others arrived, they had already disappeared into the darkness of the night.
"Brother Zhang, are you injured? What method did they use to attack you?"
Wu Qianping asked. Fu Gujing and Chen Qingqiao were on guard in each position. All three of them saw the few traces left by the nearby battle, and also saw the Taoist priest who fell from the sky and left.
"It's not hurt. Master, did the Taoist priest just now look very cool?"
Zhang Wenfeng did not tell the story immediately. He first asked about the identity of the person who was pursuing him in the woods.
Wu Qianping sent a message: "It's Taoist Shi Huaian, the 'patrol envoy' sent by the state city. He is patrolling the traces of witch cultivators in several counties. He happened to be in the Xiling County area today. He must have seen the messenger fireworks, so he came here.
Brother Zhang, what happened to you?"
Zhang Wenfeng then sent a message to tell him everything about the three-tailed demon fox Xin Yue who forced him to treat him.
Wu Qianping had never heard of "Xin Yue", but he knew about the three-tailed demon fox tribe, so he felt a little relieved.
A well-established monster, a little monster who has recently become wiser than Cai, even if he acts in a different way, at least he does not dare to massacre ordinary people indiscriminately. He said in a solemn tone: "Tomorrow I will go to Xinjuncheng Daolu Branch and report to Master Guo to ask.
what is going on?"
A Jianwei Realm law enforcement envoy from the Daolu branch of the county arbitrarily disclosed the situation of the county law enforcement guards to the monsters of the three-tailed demon fox department. To put it seriously, it was dereliction of duty and betrayal, even if Jiang Ting and the other party were friends.
There are differences between the human race and the demon race. There are certain rules and regulations, and as law enforcers, you should abide by them.
Zhang Wenfeng clasped his fists and signaled that it would be best for Dean Wu to help him.
He also had anger in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
If he hadn't had some supernatural powers and was able to neutralize the fox demon's soul-controlling magic, he would have been abducted inexplicably and forcibly invited to the ancient battlefield to save the ghosts, and he would probably have ended up dead with no body intact and eaten alive by many evil ghosts.
What about temporary ghost assignments?
Can he deal with the group of ghosts that the entire three-tailed demon fox tribe can't do anything about with the help of the ghost gate?
He is not that arrogant. In the human world, it is not uncommon for official ghosts to be skinned by ghosts. Who is he?
The principle that a good swimmer drowns is the same today and in ancient times.
When everyone is dead, what's the point of trying to find the cause and responsibility?
Fu Gujing's face didn't look good, "Don't worry, there must be an explanation for this matter. It's really unreasonable!"
Zhang Wenfeng nodded in thanks and asked with a smile: "Go and sit at the Fairy Temple and drink a pot of tea?"
Wu Ganping returned his sword to its sheath and waved his hand, saying: "Wait for a while, Taoist Master Shi will probably return. If he asks you later, just tell the truth and don't hide it."
"clear!"
After talking about the matter, the four of them fell into silence and stood on the official road in the snow to think about it.
About half a quarter of an hour later, Taoist Master Shi really returned, fell from the sky, returned the salute to the four people who were clasping their fists and saluting, nodded to Wu Qianping, and said: "That fox demon slipped away." He explained in a simple sentence, without saying more, and continued. He looked at Zhang Wenfeng, who looked gentle and indifferent, and asked: "Please tell me in detail why the fox demon came to you, what happened? And how you did it, don't leave anything out."
Wu Qianping interrupted and introduced: "Master Shi, this is Zhang Wenfeng, the law enforcement guard of our court."
Zhang Wenfeng noticed a slight movement in Taoist Master Shi's eyes, as if he knew who he was, and saluted with clasped fists: "Zhang Wenfeng has met Taoist Master Shi." Then he told the whole story of the cause and effect, as well as the actual process, and how he used words to persuade the other party to give up asking him to save ghosts. , until he left on his own, he only concealed the fact that he accepted the Bihan crystal stone as compensation from the other party.
Some trivial matters need no serious mention.
Taoist Master Shi listened with his right hand on his chin, nodded after a while, and asked: "Do you still have the 'Jade Clear Jiamu Thunder Talisman' you used to attack? Can you show it to me?"
Zhang Wenfeng took out a jade charm from his sleeve and handed it to the other party with both hands.
He never thinks that others are too simple and easy to fool, and everything he says can withstand verification.
There was no trace of surprise in Shi Daochang's eyes. He took the talisman and looked at it carefully. It was a newly made jade talisman. It's a pity that the jade talisman was overused and made only an ordinary thunder talisman, which was a waste of good things.
He handed this prodigal jade talisman back to Zhang Wenfeng, not bothering to ask whose hand it was.
For the price of this material, you can buy a Thunder Talisman of this grade. How much material is wasted?
"You used swordsmanship to fight Xin Yue at close quarters for six rounds without losing?"
Wu Qianping heard the disbelief in Taoist Master Shi's words, and once again interrupted to explain: "Daoist Zhang's swordsmanship has been praised by Taoist He Guangjun. This afternoon, he also competed with Taoist He on three moves of swordsmanship, and escaped without any injuries."
Shi Huaian's brows moved slightly. He Guangjun, known as the Sword Maniac, certainly knew that he had been a little injured when that guy made excuses to spar with him before. He looked up and down at the young Taoist priest who always had a gentle face.
A person cannot be judged by his appearance, he has nothing to ask.
A guy who can compete with He Guangjun in swordsmanship, even if he only cultivates in the late stage of Qi Realm, can withstand Xin Yue's close attack and temptation, even if he takes ten moves, it will not be a problem. He is guessing that the fox demon will just retreat in the face of difficulties?
He did not express any opinions on Jiang Ting's disclosure of Zhang Wenfeng's information to the fox demon.
After holding his fist and saying "goodbye", Taoist Master Shi flew away directly.
Zhang Wenfeng and Wu Yuanzhu walked forward. After a while, they came to the simple archway of Xianling Temple. There were stones of different sizes on the snow, extending up the mountain and in the direction of Qingzheng Villa in the northwest.
There is a light mist spreading over the snow.
It was Yue Anyan who had seen a sudden explosion of fireworks not far away to send a message, so he immediately increased the power of the mountain protection formation as a precaution, but he did not expect that the viewer would be in danger.
Yue Anyan, who was guarding the Qingzheng Villa, his second senior brother and a donkey carrying a badger cub came to greet him from the direction of Aishan.
"The temple owner is back!"
He first greeted the temple leader, and then greeted the three of them, Master Wu.
Zhang Wenfeng used the formation skills to sink the mist flowing on the snow to the ground, and stretched out his hand to say goodbye.
Wu Qianping walked forward, kept looking at it, and said with a smile: "The framework of the mountain protection formation has just been formed, and the Xianling Temple has already acquired the image of an independent sect. In time, the Xianling Temple will definitely become famous and prosperous!"
