Conspiracy

Chapter 322 City God Temple

On the other side, Su Zhen led the young monk Yuzhu along the winding and secret path.

When passing a certain corner, Su Zhen stopped, and stretched out her hand to Yu Zhu who was a few steps behind her, "Give me your hand, there is a trap."

"You still set up organs in your secret passage?"

"Beware of thieves, without me leading the way, one will die if one enters!"

"You are clearly not a vicious person, why do you pretend to be a bad person?"

"Pretend?" Su Zhen moved her fingers, "Little monk, do you know how many people I have killed with my hands?"

"Fifty-seven."

Yu Zhu suddenly blurted out the number of people Su Zhen had killed.

"Then you still follow me? Are you not afraid of death?"

"The master said that as a Buddhist disciple, one should have the compassionate heart to save the common people and help the world."

Yuzhu deliberately put on a rigid expression, and answered solemnly.

"You want to ferry me?"

Su Zhen thought it was very funny, she has always been the one who crosses demons and exterminates demons, but there is a young monk who threatened to cross her, it is not only weird, it is unbelievable.

Yuzhu nodded solemnly.

"Okay, don't be sensational!"

Su Zhen dragged him to her side, picked him up effortlessly, and flew across the extremely wide secret passage without touching her feet.

Although Yu Zhu is only twelve years old, but her stature is only a head shorter than Su Zhen, under her hands, Yu Zhu seems to have no strength to fight back.

He just made a move, trying to escape from Su Zhen, but he heard her say, "I sprinkled poisonous powder on the ground, if someone steps on it, it will immediately attract what I hide into the body, and then burn to death .”

After a little bit of entanglement, Yuzhu believed Su Zhen's nonsense, stopped moving around, and behaved like a little sheep.

Su Zhen suppressed her laughter along the way, not to let Yuzhu see the clue.

There is no candle lighting in the secret passage, and only night pearls are set every few steps.There are countless openings here, extending in all directions, making people dazzled.

Su Zhen moved extremely fast, and the dark golden light shone under her feet, so fast that only the afterimages of them and the streamer like a slender tail could be seen on the wall.

Yuzhu hugged Su Zhen's arm tightly, afraid of falling off.

He didn't know how long it had passed, but Su Zhen seemed to be holding him in circles, making him dizzy.

Until his feet landed firmly on the ground, he was still a little overwhelmed.

The Dharma seal appeared in Su Zhen's palm, and as she pressed her hand on the organ, there was a rumbling sound from the secret passage, and the door opened.

It was already dark outside, and Su Zhen had already estimated the time.

Lifting off the khaki tattered cloth above his head, he walked out stepping on the straw all over the floor.

Yu Zhu panted heavily, when she looked up she saw that Su Zhen had disappeared, so she hastily chased after her.

"Young Master Su! Young Master Su!"

Yuzhu stepped out of the exit of the secret passage, and when he also lifted up the khaki cloth, he was shocked in place.

As far as the eye can see, a group of beggars in ragged clothes are sitting on the yellow straw, and each of them is holding white flour steamed buns or gnawing on oily chicken legs.

On the contrary, Su Zhen, the son of a son who had always been rebellious in his eyes, was sitting face to face with an old beggar with a roasted pheasant.

The old beggar's hair was full of dry hair, and there were a few straws in it.The exposed skin was dirty, as if it hadn't been washed for days.Especially between the fingers, covered with black sludge.Wearing a large black robe, most of the place is covered with palm-sized pieces of various colors, most of which are mainly gray.

The gray cloth shoes on the feet have long been worn out, and the exposed thumbs have thick yellow calluses, which are obviously caused by repeated abrasions and healing of the thumbs due to wearing worn-out shoes for too long. It looks like this.

And not far behind them, there is a huge statue of the City God.

After Yu Zhu appeared in the entire Town God's Temple, it became extremely silent.

He clasped his hands together and bowed, under the strange eyes of those beggars, he walked carefully past them and came behind Su Zhen.

Kneeling down and grabbing a corner of Su Zhen's shirt, she asked in a low voice, "Master Su, is the person you are looking for here?"

"Here, that's it." Su Zhen raised her chin and signaled Yuzhu to look at the old Zhutou.

At the same time, the old Zhutou was also looking at Yuzhu, and then smiled at Su Zhen, "Master Su, this old man already knows about you and General Xiao. You are not afraid to bring a little monk here while it is late at night." Your Excellency, General, is delicious."

"Benefactor! This little monk is a monk, how can you make fun of him!"

Su Zhen patted Yuzhu's shoulder, "Little monk, Mr. Zhu is very good, you don't mind, come and sit down."

Yu Zhu reluctantly sat on the futon next to Su Zhen.

Su Zhen neatly and skillfully used a knife to puncture a few cuts on the cleaned chicken, sprinkled it with spices and baked it on the campfire.

Blinking at the group of beggars, the next moment, they all disappeared in the Temple of the City God.

Old Zhutou has long been accustomed to this scene, and thanks to those little demons disguised as beggars for protecting him.Otherwise, he would have been chopped into a meat paste by his former enemy, stuffed with stuffing and fed to the dogs.

Yuzhu didn't notice the evil spirit at all before, but Su Zhen grabbed her wrist when she wanted to sit up, "Why are you panicking? They are all my people."

"They are demons! Not humans!"

"Little monk, your master taught you Buddhist magic, shouldn't it be used to kill innocent people indiscriminately?"

"How did you help them hide their evil spirit?"

Su Zhen pursed her lips and remained silent. As a demon master, helping half-human, half-demon children to hide their aura and identity was a breeze.

Hearing Yuzhu's unfriendly tone, the old Zhutou guessed that he and Su Zhen must have a feud.But looking at the posture of the two, they don't look like enemies.

"Young Master Su, you sent someone to inform me of my arrival. What is your order? A letter will be sent over Qi Wan's identity and origin later, and all the truth will be known by then."

"I didn't come here for her. Ziye has been missing for several days and his whereabouts are unknown. Old Zhutou has always been as careful as dust, why don't you come and guess?"

"I've known Mr. Su not long ago, but I can roughly feel your temper. The eldest son left home, and you probably don't want him to be brought back like this. If the old man guessed correctly, you probably think I've fulfilled my promise."

"En." Su Zhen picked up a branch from the ground, drew a general distribution map of Hexuan Continent, pointed to one of the locations and said, "This is Luo Qi."

After swipe a few more times, he continued, "The boundaries of these places are Xiliang and Mobei. In recent years, Mobei has paid tribute to Luo Qi every year because of its defeat in the war. On the contrary, Xiliang, where the regent He Liang sits in the court, has a strong national power. It is getting stronger and stronger. Therefore, according to Zi Ye's temperament, it is inevitable for him to hide his identity. But he who likes to be competitive will not follow the steps, and he must directly mix into the army guarding the border."
