I am the main soul in the soul banner

Chapter 369 Lost
While the talisman water was being boiled, a hurried figure pushed away the crowd in front of him and said anxiously, "Taoist, something serious happened."

Chi Xuan was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "Old Chen?"

"how……"

Old man Chen knelt on the ground and cried, "The child is lost, the child is lost..."

"Daozhang, I'm sorry for you."

"I'm sorry for you."

"..."

Chi Xuan froze on the spot, he only felt a buzzing sound, his brain was completely blank, it was an indescribable feeling of falling, as if falling from a high platform, without making any sound at all.

Tu Shanjun, who was reading a book, noticed Chi Xuan's abnormality, and whispered: "Meditate."

His absent-minded eyes finally came into focus.

Chi Xuan exclaimed in shock: "How could that be!"

"Did you report to the police?"

"I've reported it, but the government is so overwhelmed by the epidemic that they don't care about the child's affairs at all. I told them that I just sent two policemen to check the situation and record the child's voice and appearance."

Old man Chen hurriedly told the whole story.

"That night, I asked my baby to close the door, who knew that within a few breaths of time, the person disappeared. I noticed it, and I shouted several times, but there was no one, and there was no... response."

"When I went out to search, the streets on both sides were already dark, and I didn't know where the child was lost."

"Two days ago, I entrusted Liu Si to deliver a letter to the Taoist priest, but Liu Si has not returned yet."

Chi Xuan was a little more annoyed: "I left the Taoist temple early."

He went out to practice, and came to Jicheng directly after the end. He was neither in the Taoist temple nor returned to the Taoist temple for a few days. Now Liu Si should be waiting for him in the Taoist temple.

"Quick, take me over..."

"Forget it, I'll take you there."

Chixuan picked up old man Chen, turned over on a kite and climbed directly onto the roof tiles of the small building on the second floor. Using all the mana in his body, he led old man Chen to fly over the eaves and walls of the city.

He also didn't care about being discovered by others, and he didn't want to hide his cultivation anymore.

With a figure like the wind, even with a person, it is like a long eagle flying in the sky, and it has already rushed a hundred meters in a few ups and downs.

"Mother, there are immortals."

"How can there be any fairy..." Following the child's finger, the woman immediately opened her mouth wide in shock. She took a closer look, isn't that the Taoist chief Chixuan? There is only one Taoist priest in Jicheng.

"That's Daoist Chixuan."

"Are you flying?"

"Flying over the roof and walking on the wall, do you understand?"

"That's a fairy, walking against the wind."

"..."

Chixuan's strength was fully unleashed, but it made the city jump around and there was a lot of commotion.

a while.

To the door of the tavern.

Chi Xuan rushed into the tavern with old man Chen.

Because of the loss of the child, the tavern has not been open for a long time. Old man Chen's mother-in-law sat on the kang, holding the little one in her arms, as if she was afraid that the little one would also disappear from her sight.

When seeing Chi Xuan, Chen Lishi immediately looked ashamed: "Taoist."

"Don't need to say too much, let's talk about the scene of that day in detail."

Although his heart was as anxious as a river breaking through, Chi Xuan's complexion did not change much, but the drooping corners of his eyes twitched from time to time, showing that his heart was not calm.

Chen Lishi told all the things he knew that day.

No matter how big or small, it doesn't fall in the slightest.

After listening to Chen Lishi's statement, Chixuan asked old man Chen to tell the scene of that day again while thinking about it. Don't miss a single point, and try to tell all the details clearly.

It takes half an hour to listen.

Chi Xuan finally knew the whole story.

"Three days have passed since the child was lost. Even a kidnapper cannot take a ten-year-old boy out of the city within three days."

"I'm afraid now that I will be picked and broken..."

Chi Xuan didn't think about it any further.

Said he was a boy, but in Chi Xuan's eyes he was still a child, a good boy.

How could he not be in a hurry.

But it has been three days and there is no clue at all. Could he still turn the city over and get the child out?
"You can just stay at home, poor way to find the children."

Chi Xuan touched the beard growing on his face, as well as the rough wrinkles that he deliberately made.He has been in Ji County for so many years, and he has become a local snake. Now, he really turned the city over.

When Chi Xuan walked out of the tavern, an indifferent voice sounded in his mind: "I can help you."

"What conditions?"

"The price is to help me achieve my wish."

"Don't bother the Demon Monarch."

Chi Xuan didn't stop in his footsteps, and didn't say anything more.From his point of view, even if Tu Shanjun really possessed unrivaled cultivation skills, he is still just a devil trapped in a magic weapon.

What kind of means can be used to help?
In the big city of Hunban, there are monks that he can't count and can't understand, but he doesn't know if he will make things worse.

Perhaps the child was not found in the end, and the devil let him out.

It's too late to regret it.

Moreover, he is still very confident in his own strength.In Jicheng, his reputation as Chixuan is quite easy to use.

Tu Shanjun in the banner sat on the wicker chair, put down the Daoist book in his hand, and whispered to himself: "Devil Lord?"

It is true that Chi Xuan was so anxious, how could he still make false claims with him, so even if the title was a bit wrong, Tu Shanjun did not refute, let alone disturb Chi Xuan, because he understood this feeling.

When you are not calm, even Qi practitioners cannot calm down by themselves.

What's more, Chixuan has no idea of ​​​​practicing meditation.

"pity."

Not long after, Chixuan arrived at Kidnap Alley, and knocked on a house with a closed door.

"Who?"

"Poverty Chi Xuan."

The door of the room opened in response, and a head poked out from inside, and said with a little surprise: "Prince Daoist? Why did Priest Daoist come here at this hour?"

"Pindao wants to see your leader."

"..."

"Daoist, are you really the one flying over the walls in the city?"

"This matter has spread, and it is said that the elder is a fairy."

"I used to think you were capable."

On the way, Poppi beside him kept talking beside Chixuan, his eyes were full of excitement and longing, as well as uncontrollable excitement, and some fear that he didn't realize.

There were crowds of people in the small courtyard, and they all looked at the middle-aged man on the low platform.

The man stood tall and looked far away, and he saw Poppi approaching and Chi Xuan beside Poppi from a long distance. He clasped his hands and sang, with a surprised expression: "Taoist?!"

If you want to say that the most well-informed people in the city are none other than their beggar gang.

The incident of Chixuan's flying over the eaves and walls has awakened many beggars, even if there is no need to spread it, there are quite a few people who know about it.

Moreover, Chixuan would often give them alms. If someone was sick, the consultation fee would be very little, a symbolic fee of one copper coin.

In the words of Daoist Chixuan: "It's easy to do things after collecting money."

"I don't know why the Taoist priest came here?"

"Ask your group of people if they kidnapped the kid from the tavern."

"Old man Chen's tavern?"

"Master Dao, we know how to measure, that is the place you often go to, how dare your subordinates abduct the children there."

"Where else is there to abduct children?"

"Cripple Xue from Dongfang."

"Wang Shun from Hehe [-]th Street, he is a new force, and he has squeezed out the old donkey's territory. It is said that the old donkey was forced to commit suicide by him."

"In Southwest Fang City, next to Zuihualou, there is a family that specializes in accepting girls."

"..."

Coming out of Kidnap Alley, Chi Xuan's expression tensed.

He had already lost his sense of proportion, and he didn't know where to throw his calmness and understanding in the past.

Distribute the portraits to the beggars.

These pickled rogues will help him find the child, but it's not up to him whether he can find it or not.

In the final analysis, this matter is still the Yamen.

With the strength of the Great Cang Dynasty, it is easy for the Yamen to suppress these kidnappers.

Even if there are measures, it is to send a few policemen to chase them back.

Even if you know where the child is, if you don't have a certain strength, don't try to snatch it back from others.Some wealthy households would buy children if they had no children, and those elderly bachelors in the village would buy wives with money.

Knowing that people are there, they will not send many people there.

In the end, most of them were left alone, or were injured, maimed, or even killed by the "united" villagers.

The next two days.

Chi Xuan visited all the dens of kidnappers in the city.

The child was still not found.

He really turned the city upside down.

No matter which kidnapper's nest it is, Chi Xuan takes care of it.

He now has some doubts about whether someone had a sudden idea, and it wasn't a den to commit crimes.Otherwise, there would be no news after so long.

For some hard bones, he also used special methods, whether it was crushing bones or crushing flesh, they claimed that they had never seen it, let alone abducted it.

In this way, it made Chi Xuan suspect whether he was looking in the wrong direction.

If he didn't know how to search for souls, maybe he would have to use it.

In desperation, he had no choice but to come to the county government office.

……

The county magistrate of Ji County, surnamed Hu, is a middle-aged man with a somewhat bookish look, with a straight official hat and clean and decent official uniform.

"Master Chixuan, the county government has accepted this matter."

"Also send arresters to visit and investigate."

"It's just that there are victims of disasters in Ji County who need to be resettled, and there are epidemic diseases that need to be rectified. The officials are also very busy. There are more and more government affairs, and the county government is far from enough."

"The official knows that the loss of a child makes people anxious, but we still have to calm down."

"Children need to be found, victims of disasters must also be resettled, epidemics must be controlled, and government affairs..." County magistrate Hu spoke in an authentic official tone, pretending to be confused with understanding, and giving Chi Xuan a verbal tai chi.

Chi Xuan interrupted County Magistrate Hu's long speech: "Pindao suspects that the child is no longer in the city."

"All right!"

"A child and tens of thousands of disaster victims are more acquainted than familiar ones. Daoist Chixuan, you should understand this truth."

Chi Xuan focused his eyes, and the mana in his body circulated by itself: "You..."

"What? The Taoist priest wants to fight with this official?"

County magistrate Hu scolded coldly, and the breath in his body was instantly higher than that of Chi Xuan.

The majestic incense is like a big hand, pressing Chixuan aside and unable to move.

Chi Xuan's eyes widened suddenly, his face was full of horror.

He thought that the imperial court officials would have good cultivation and morality, but he didn't expect that the methods he was proud of were suppressed and unable to be used, like a flat boat floating on the river.

"Master Chixuan, please go back."

"I'm busy with government affairs, so I won't leave Daoist leader."
