My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 67

Jiang Yuan hurriedly dropped his meal money, was surrounded by the enthusiastic two people, walked through the streets, and soon left the North City Gate, heading straight for the Yingxian Temple outside the city.

On the way, Jiang Yuan didn't say a few words, mostly listening to the excited shouts of the two young people.

The rough-faced one is called Li Buyan, and the thin one is called Wang Jiping. They are not from the local area, but from nearby counties.

These two people don't like poetry and classics, they prefer novels about gods, ghosts and ghosts.

The year before last, I secretly went out to sea to search for immortals. Unfortunately, I met a pirate and was taken to a barren island for several months. I almost fell from the thief. My family paid a lot of money to ask the government for help and sent a navy to rescue me.

After being stable for almost two years, the two people's desire to seek immortality began to stir again. This time, they planned to visit Huaguo Mountain, because they heard that there was a monkey there.

When they set off, they heard that the Changchun Immortal was close at hand, so the two escaped from the house at night and rushed to this place overnight.

After hearing that Jiang Yuan came from Nanzhan Buzhou, the two of them stared even more, and asked Jiang Yuan about Nanzhan Buzhou.

After Jiang Yuan spoke briefly, he learned more about Aolai Country from the two people.

It turns out that this Aolai country is not a unified dynasty, the entire Aolai country has long been divided into two parts, the north and the south.

This part to the south only occupies one-third of the country, but with the king's capital, it is commonly known as the country of Aolai.

The northern part respects the king of the south in name, but in fact it is similar to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, where the princes rose together and each was a country.

The land and environment of the north and the south are also very different.

There are many islands in the south, but the north is a whole piece of land, equivalent to half the size of the Han Dynasty, and the environment is different, even a desert.

Hearing the desert, Jiang Yuan's heart skipped a beat, thinking of the sandbags that had been vacant for a long time.

Decided to go to Bei Aolai Country immediately after finishing Jiusuihe's work, to restore the power of the magic weapon.

Yingxian Temple is located on a hill ten miles outside the city.

The mountain is not high, but there are many steep and dangerous peaks, which is very suitable for sightseeing, and officials and nobles often come to go outing.

The incense money of Yingxian Temple in the past mainly depended on receiving these tourists.

But after the arrival of the Evergreen Immortal, the small Taoist temple was full of traffic, and there was an endless stream of people visiting, asking for immortality, and even seeking medical treatment.

When Jiang Yuan and the others arrived, they saw a secluded small temple leaning against the mountain wall. In front of the door was a secluded bamboo grove.

"Great, we came early, no one came."

Li Buyan and Wang Jiping were overjoyed when they saw that the bamboo forest was empty and there were no cars and horses as they had imagined.

Jiang Yuan felt that something was wrong, it was not too early.

Sure enough, Li Buyan and Li Buyan rushed forward to knock on the door, a Taoist boy pushed the door open a small crack and squeezed out. Hearing the intention of the two, he shook his head and said:
"The Immortal Changchun has recently retreated to Bigu, and no longer accepts outsiders. Please come back."

The two of them were immediately disappointed and dejected.

Jiang Yuan stepped forward, cupped his hands and asked, "When will the Immortal leave the customs?"

Dao Tong has been guiding for several years, and his eyesight is not low. Seeing Jiang Yuan's extraordinary bearing, he said respectfully:
"The Immortal didn't tell you, but it's been three days, maybe in a few days, we will leave the customs, and the distinguished guests can come back at that time."

Jiang Yuan looked inside the temple, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything through the small crack of the door, so he had no choice but to leave.

Li Buyan and Li Buyan had lost their energy, Jiang Yuan lowered his head to think about something, and the three of them walked through the bamboo forest in silence.

Go back to that city and wait for a few days, or go to other places to see?
Jiang Yuan was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a commotion, and when he raised his head, he saw a group of heavily armed men and horses galloping towards them with smoke and dust all over the sky.

The three of Jiang Yuan moved out of the way, and the team rushed to Xiaoguan aggressively, frightening Daotong so much that his face turned pale.

"Brother, don't be afraid, Changchun Immortal is here, let's ask something."

A tall figure in close-fitting armor rolled off his horse, took off his helmet, combed his messy braids, and said crisply:
"My younger brother came here to play the day before yesterday, but he hasn't returned yet. I wonder if Guiguan has seen him before?"

Seeing that she was a woman with a beautiful face, Dao Tong calmed down a bit, and replied respectfully:
"The Immortal Changchun retreated to Bigu three days ago, and the Xiaoguan no longer accepts outsiders, girl"

"My brother's name is Song Hui. There are three moles on the corner of his right eyebrow, and his skin is very fair."

The woman waved her hand and said vigorously:

"Well, he often wears powder and wears fancy clothes. You should be very impressed with him."

Dao Tong was interrupted and suppressed by the woman's aura, so he was speechless for a long time.

The woman glanced at Dao Tong's expression, stared immediately, picked up Dao Tong and pressed it against the door, and said coldly:
"You met him and said, where the hell did he go?"

The thin-skinned and tender Taoist slammed on the door, tears of pain burst out, and then he was startled by the coldness in the woman's eyes, and hurriedly said:
"That son came three days ago, but he left on the same day."

The woman shouted coldly: "Who sent him away?"

Daotong opened his mouth, his mind went blank, he was frightened by the woman, and he really couldn't remember who sent the son, so he could only shout:
"The small temple is not big. There are at most two or three guests staying overnight at a time. Among the guests staying overnight that day, there was no young master. He must have left."

The woman said angrily: "I have searched a hundred miles around, only to find out that my younger brother came to your Taoist temple, but no one saw him leave."

"Then what about Changchun Immortal, let him come out and explain to me, otherwise I, Song Qihong, will demolish your Taoist temple!"

"Are you the 'Hanyasha' Song Qihong?"

When Daotong heard the woman's name, he immediately exclaimed, his face pale and his teeth chattering.

"You know me, that's even better."

Song Qihong's eyes turned cold, she gritted her teeth and said something, raised her foot and slammed the temple door open, and then threw the Taoist child into the Taoist temple like a broken sack.

"People, get the hell out of here!"

A dozen or so people ran out in panic and gathered in the courtyard. They were about to yell at the woman, but they all fell silent under the cold light of swords and flashing armor.

Song Qihong stepped into the courtyard surrounded by a group of soldiers, Danfeng swept her eyes and shouted:

"Where's the Immortal Changchun?"

"The fairy is retreating"

Someone responded tremblingly, and Song Qihong glared, "Don't call him out yet."

Everyone in the audience was hesitant to welcome the immortals. Daotong, who fell in, endured the severe pain all over his body, and whispered:
"She is Song Qihong, the 'Hanyasha'!"

As soon as the name came out, everyone shuddered unanimously, and the trembling became even more severe.

Song Qihong glanced again, and immediately someone ran to the backyard with all hands and feet, calling for Immortal Changqing.

After a while, the man ran back in a panic and exclaimed:

"There is no one in the practice room, and the immortal is not here!"

The audience members who welcomed the immortals were surprised and shouted:
"What, how is it possible, three days ago, I saw an immortal enter the training room with my own eyes!"

"Yes, that's right. I also arranged the futon for the immortal and sent incense candles."

Song Qihong was annoyed by the noise, so she pulled out the long sword on her waist, the sword light flashed, and everyone immediately shut up.

"Liang Chong, you two follow me to the practice room, and the rest immediately search the Taoist temple, don't miss a corner!"

Song Qihong waved her hand and led the two guards to the backyard, while the rest of the soldiers rushed towards the houses.

Outside the Immortal View, Jiang Yuan and Li Buyan witnessed the whole process.

"It turns out that woman is the 'Hare'."

The two big men, Li Buyan, looked at Song Qihong with awe and admiration at the same time.

Jiang Yuan asked in a low voice, "Where is this woman sacred?"

It turns out that Song Qihong is the embroidered Tiqi under the Aolai Kingdom Executive Jinwu, who is in charge of public security in the capital.

Because of her tough style and ruthless methods, she punished many dignitaries and was the only female Tiqi, so she got the title of "Hagyasha".

After explaining Song Qihong's origin to Jiang Yuan, Li Buyan and the two began to wonder:

"Where did the Immortal Changchun go? Could it be that he ascended during the day?"

Disappearing young man, also disappearing fairy
Jiang Yuan felt that things might not be simple.

At this moment, a soldier searching the Taoist temple rushed to the courtyard with a face full of horror, calling out to his companions:
"Follow me, that cellar, there are many skeletons in the cellar!"
