Xuantian Law Envoy

Chapter 160 Mountain Village
Gu Yuezong.

Once entering the mountain gate, Xu Qing went straight to Gu Yuefeng.

Without him, it is natural to tell the master what happened today.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be the one to investigate.

The formal process is to inform the Law Enforcement Palace about this matter.

The law enforcement hall sent people to investigate and collect evidence.

Then make a preliminary judgment and then report the case.

According to the preliminary judgment of the Hall of Law Enforcement, according to the level that may be involved, disciples in Tsing Yi or red clothes will be assigned to follow up the investigation.

If important people in the sect were involved, even purple-clothed disciples and even deacons were sent to investigate in person.

Although Xu Qing is still wearing the purple clothes sign in the Hall of Law Enforcement.

But he is the head of the sect after all.

Personal disciples usually cannot intervene in the affairs of the Law Enforcement Palace without tasks or assignments.

This is called presumption.

Moreover, this matter may involve high-level people in the family, or the descendants of high-level people.

In order not to startle the snake, she directly reported the matter to Lian Xianrou.

Making a decision based on it is currently the easiest and smartest choice.

Seeing Xu Qing's arrival, the disciples guarding the mountain on Gu Yue Peak, including the deacons outside the hall, were used to it.

After a brief notification, he was put into the hall.

But what surprised Xu Qing was.

Lian Xianrou is not in the main hall, but in the cave in the back hall.

And at the entrance to the apse stood a deaconess.

It was the mysterious female deaconess who didn't give him a good face before, Xu Qing remembered that it seemed to be called Yuexia.

"Sister Yuexia, I haven't seen you for a few days, you look much more radiant again, you are really getting younger and more beautiful."

Xu Qing licked his face and laughed.

The serious and cold deaconess took a look at Xu Qing, and said expressionlessly, "The master is resting."

Xu Qing had no intention of leaving after hearing this.

"Sister Yuexia, please let me know. I have something urgent to ask the master, really."

"No matter what is urgent, don't interrupt the head's rest," Yuexia frowned. Seeing that Xu Qing was still talking, Yuexia suddenly said, "This time, we will cross the void to hunt down the Jade Palm Immortal to clean up your mess."

"But it consumes a lot."

When Xu Qing heard this, he immediately understood. He clasped his fists and said, "So that's it. Thank you, sister Yuexia, for letting me know. Then I'll come back tomorrow."

Only then did Yuexia's face soften, and she raised her eyebrows: "You can tell me if you have something to do, and I will tell her when the master gets up to take a shower in the morning."

Xu Qing paused, then said with a smile: "Hey, I dreamed last night that my master didn't want me anymore, which scared me into a cold sweat."

"That's why I came to see the master today. It's nothing important."

Yuexia: "."

"Sister Yuexia, then I'm leaving." Xu Qing clasped her fists and turned to leave.

As soon as he left the hall, Xu Qing regained his composure.

The reason why he didn't tell the truth to Yuexia was because he didn't trust this person.

What if, the so-called high-level officials are actually a few personal deacons lurking beside the head?
Once you know that there are ghosts inside the door and spies around you.

Then you go to see the people around you.

A question mark will be placed on everyone.

Everyone is suspicious.

For the sake of caution, Xu Qing still thinks to wait until later.

But he won't wait.

Leaving Gu Yuefeng, Xu Qing went straight to the northeast corner of Yuezhan Peak.

If you want to investigate privately, it is inevitable to find a trustworthy person as a partner.

Whether it is asking for help or assistance, having someone inside the door as a helper can save Xu Qing a lot of trouble.

This candidate naturally fell on his familiar friend.

Although the purple clothes of Zhang Han in the Hall of Law Enforcement have good abilities, Xu Qing can't believe it after only a few cooperations.

The few sect disciples who he could trust were Li Chengfeng and Feng Mingyu.

Now that Li Chengfeng is not around, Feng Mingyu is naturally the best candidate.

This woman is powerful, intelligent and quick-witted, and also knows how to keep secrets.

Soon, Xu Qing found Feng Mingyu in her new cave.

Not long ago, she was accepted as a personal disciple by a female elder of the inner sect, so she was naturally qualified to open a cave on Yuezhan Peak.

This girl is also very cunning.

He picked a place not far from Xu Qing and Li Chengfeng.

It is obvious that they want to take advantage of the momentum of these two rising stars who are now famous in Gu Yuezong, and quickly gain a firm foothold on this Yue Zhan Peak, where there are many masters.

It is different from Xu Qing, who is taken care of by his master and many high-level officials, who has no worries about cultivation resources.

Feng Mingyu has many things to care about.

Exchange of resources within the sect.

Competition for high contribution point tasks.

Qualifications to enter the secret realm.

Qualifications for the selection of magic weapons in the Cangbing Pavilion.

Qualifications to enter the Sutra Pavilion.

None of these need to be fought by her and many young disciples like her.

So when she heard that Xu Qing had a case and asked her for help, Feng Mingyu agreed almost immediately.

And without mentioning any conditions.

Because she knew that Xu Qing was a human being and would never treat her friends badly.

That night, the two left Gu Yuezong, and met Nan Feng and Ling Fei outside Yingyue City.

"Let me introduce, these two are Fellow Daoist Nanfeng and Fellow Daoist Lingfei."

"This is my junior sister, Feng Mingyu."

After a brief introduction, Xu Qing explained to Feng Mingyu: "Both of them are casual cultivator friends I made outside of the world, and this case is also the clue they provided me. Junior sister can trust them."

After the three nodded, Xu Qing looked at Nanfeng: "Lead the way, go to the village you mentioned first."

"Yes." Nanfeng said respectfully.

This answer is not like a friend at all.

Seeing the state between the two, Feng Mingyu gave Xu Qing a surprised look.

I don't know how he made a Jindan master so respectful and obedient.

But she was obedient and didn't ask any more questions, just pretending she didn't see it.

The village is more than 200 miles away from Yingyue City, but riding Xu Qing's Escape Eagle, the speed is naturally extremely fast.

After a stick of incense, they rushed to a small mountain village.

Mountain villages are built along the mountains, and various families are dotted among the mountains.

Under the moonlight, there is no peace at all, but it looks a little gloomy.

Looking at the village below with candles flickering faintly, Xu Qing swept his consciousness and frowned.

"Go down."

He landed at the entrance of the village first.

After walking around the village with the three of them, he asked, "Which households lost their children?"

Nanfeng pointed to the nearest household.

Xu Qing's face darkened: "No one."

Nanfeng was suddenly surprised.

He jumped into the room with a single leap.

Because just now Xu Qing ordered them not to use their spiritual sense to investigate here.

So he can only observe with the naked eye.

However, with his early Golden Core cultivation, these mortals couldn't find his trace at all.

So he took a look directly to confirm that there was no one in the house.

Only then jumped out in surprise.

There are a total of 36 households within the range covered by Xu Qing's spiritual consciousness.

And all of them are couples without children.

Even middle-aged couples.

A middle-aged couple with no children?Or is the heir not around?Went out of the village to make a living?
This is the first doubt.

Second, the families referred to by Nanfeng not only lost their children, but also lost their people.

"Go in and have a look."

The people did not push the door to enter, but directly jumped into the courtyard, went into the house to check, and finally gathered in the bedroom.

"It seems that the person has just left, there is no dust in the house, and the stove is still warm."

"And the things that are commonly used in life are still missing."

Feng Mingyu said to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing nodded, stood in the room and looked around, then took the lead and walked outside.

Afterwards, Xu Qing checked the households that Nanfeng pointed out one by one.

This was found to be the case in every household.

"Not here? They all left recently?" Nan Feng suddenly felt something was wrong.

He felt it, and Xu Qing naturally felt it too.

Coincidence?
This is too much of a coincidence.

"Did you disturb anyone when you left that day?" Xu Qing looked at Nan Feng and asked.

Nan Feng shook his head: "When we saw that Gu Yue Sect disciple, we knew something was wrong, so we retreated immediately."

"After all, we don't want to cause trouble for you."

Xu Qing nodded.

It still cannot be ruled out that those people killed and silenced.

"Could it be that you really went out temporarily?" Ling Fei asked.

Xu Qing shook her head: "No."

He took the lead and returned to the first family's home again.

Pointing to a row of straw sandals at the door, he said, "Did you see that? Ordinary people, especially these mountain people, often have very simple food and clothing."

"Straw sandals, this kind of shoes can't go far, and they will wear out soon."

"So ordinary people will bring a lot of spares when they go out."

"They went out all night and didn't return, they must have traveled far away, but why didn't they bring spare straw sandals?"

"It's one of them."

Then he brought people to the stove, touched the pot, and opened the noodle pot in the stove.

This tank is not big, but it is full
"In addition to the cost of clothing for ordinary people to go out, dry food is also essential, but you can see that this tank is full."

"Ordinary people are no better than monks. If you don't eat for a day on the road, you will be hungry."

"If you don't return at night and stay in the mountains, you will definitely bring dry food."

The other three nodded one after another. Although they felt something was wrong, they were not as careful as Xu Qing.

"Check the surrounding families separately, call them up and ask about the whereabouts of these families, and ask about the children at the same time."

"Let's just say that we are from the City Lord's Mansion and come to register newborns."

"it is good!"

The other three dispersed separately, and soon brought back a piece of news that surprised Xu Qing.

"I don't know?" Xu Qing asked in surprise.

"Well, they all said they didn't know the whereabouts of these missing families, and they seemed to have left a few days ago."

Feng Mingyu summarized the news that Nanfeng and Lingfei got and said to Xu Qing.

"What about the child?"

Only then did Feng Mingyu show a strange face and said: "We asked several companies, but they all said that they have no children."

Nanfeng hurriedly said: "But there is a family that hangs their children's clothes to dry! But they don't remember where the clothes came from, and they don't know who it is!"

Feng Mingyu frowned and said: "Brother, I think they look like they have been hit by the Forgetting the Soul Curse, and their memories have been erased."

Although Xu Qing had never heard of the Forget Soul Curse, from Feng Mingyu's description, he guessed that it should be a spell similar to Wangyou Pill.

"There are about a hundred households in this mountain village. Among so many people, there must be a lot of people with children. To erase memory on such a large scale?"

"Building a foundation can't be done." Feng Mingyu spoke first, "At least it's a golden core cultivation."

"Most of the spells involving the soul are very complicated."

Xu Qing paused for a moment, and then said quietly: "A mountain village is worth a golden pill? Then there are more than 500 villages in eighteen counties around Yingyue City."

"The other party must only abduct people in a small area."

"If not, there is no time to seal it."

"Once someone reports it, it will definitely attract the attention of Yingyue City."

"The sect's management of the cities under its jurisdiction is quite strict, and the population is the main basis for sending talented disciples."

"Especially babies, children."

"The other party dares to make a move in this regard, it is very courageous."

Xu Qing thought lightly.

"Brother, what should we do next?" Feng Mingyu asked.

Xu Qing thought for a while, then looked at Nanfeng: "Go to the inn you mentioned."

Of course, Nanfeng led the way without saying a word.

After a while, a group of people came to this Xianyuan Inn standing in the mountains again.

The innkeeper is a monk who refines Qi on the surface but is actually in the late stage of foundation establishment.

The guys in the store are all ordinary people.

After the group of four changed into plain clothes and sat down, the shop assistant immediately stepped forward to entertain them.

The inn was shrouded in a concealment formation.

If it weren't for monks, ordinary people wouldn't be able to find it here.

So the clerk in the shop was naturally very clear about the identities of the few people, and asked them respectfully what they needed.

After Xu Qing casually ordered some drinks and refreshments, he called the guy over.

Throwing out one of the roughest qi-tonifying elixirs casually made the shop assistant's eyes shine.

He immediately looked at Xu Qing with a flattering face: "Senior, do you have something to ask? Just ask, the little one will definitely know everything and say everything!"

Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction: "I heard that recently someone is intercepting and killing monks passing by?"

The store clerk's face suddenly changed, and after glancing at his shopkeeper, he whispered in Xu Qing's ear: "Senior, that's right, I heard this from a monk passing by, but no one really thought about it. seen."

"Do you know exactly where it is?"

The store clerk suddenly hesitated.

Although his voice is very soft.

But there are no mortals in this inn, they are all monks above qi refining.

Everyone has sharp eyes and ears, and they have heard everything that the shop assistant said.

At this moment, the shopkeeper finally couldn't sit still.

The reason why their inn can stand here.

It is because of its own unique position.

The principle they uphold is to be indifferent to what happens outside.

Just mind the things in the inn.

It is equivalent to the Longmen Inn seen in the movies of Xu Qing's previous life.

Even if a monk with conflicts enters here again, his anger will be temporarily calmed down.

Once the shop guy said something that offended someone who shouldn't be offended.

At that time, it will be their inn that will be unlucky.

However, the moment the shopkeeper stepped out of the counter, Ling Fei got up and stopped him.

The shopkeeper also wanted to show off his cultivation base to frighten the other party.

However, he was directly frightened by the sharp sword energy on the opponent's body and took two steps back, his face pale.

Until then, the other customers in the store also noticed that something was wrong with the people at this table, and they all got up and looked here.

And there are many people who seem to be eager to try, as if they want to make a move.

Xu Qing frowned, Nan Feng keenly sensed his dissatisfaction, and snorted coldly.

At the same time, a faint golden core energy was released.

It was this ray of coercion that directly changed the expressions of everyone present, and they sat back to their original positions consciously.

Some people even turned their eyes away and stopped paying attention to this place.

A look that has nothing to do with himself.

Only then did Xu Qing look at the store clerk who didn't know what happened and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, brother, we're just asking casually."

"After all, we have to pass ahead. If we know where there is danger, we can go around."

As he said that, he took out another defective qi invigorating pill.

Although the shop assistant is an ordinary person, he still knows the goods after staying in this inn for a long time.

These pills are of little use to those monks.

But for mortals like them who have no cultivation base.

But it is the best supplement.

It can help them strengthen their bodies, prolong their lives, and get rid of all diseases.

Put it in the world of ordinary people and sell it.

It is also a good thing worth thousands of dollars.

He looked at the elixir in Xu Qing's hands with fiery eyes, swallowed, and then said with a smile: "I heard people say, well, those bandits are operating near Yinlong Valley."

"From here to the north, 130 miles away, there is a large monument erected on the side of the road, with the words 'Yin Dragon Valley' written on it."

"That place is the only way for Qi refining monks to go to Haoyue City. If they take a detour and cross the mountain, it will take an extra three days to travel."
