Yonghui 25 years.Zhuangzhou Luoan County.

night.

The night was deep, pitch black as ink.I don't know if it's because the miasma is too thick or the resentment is too thick, but this dense forest in the deep valley in the mountains is always shrouded in boundless darkness.

The young woman flitted and leaped on the branches, and soon left the center of darkness and returned to the world of the living.The moonlight poured down through the gaps in the forest, and the silver light shined, illuminating the bloodstains on her body.

It turns out that today is Wangri, and there is moonlight.

The woman looked up at the sky, and couldn't help being in a trance for a moment.

The bright moon in the middle of the sky is like a mirror, the moon is bright and clear, but very cold, shining in this deep valley, it is even more quiet and deep.

But suddenly, the silence was broken, there was a faint noise of people and animals, and then the sound became louder and louder, accompanied by a long fire dragon winding on the rugged mountain road, flickering on and off.

It's officers and soldiers coming this way!

There is a mountain between the main altar of the Jiaomen and the altar where the ceremony is performed, and the speed of the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers is faster than she expected.

With a glint in his eyes, Bai Sanxiu quickened his movements and left Shen Gu far behind him.She ran all the way to the middle of the mountain before stopping on a protruding mountain wall. She hid her figure in the shadow of trees and looked down at the officers and soldiers coming on the mountain road.The leader rode a tall horse with a youthful face full of heroism. She had seen this man in Qingyan, and it was Yu Wang Li Ang.

Li Ang is the youngest son who is very much loved by the current emperor. He was ordered to be stationed in Zhuangzhou, and his main task was to negotiate with Nan Xieman.She never expected that tonight he would suddenly lead an army to attack and destroy the teaching circle.What's more, he found the location of the main altar and the altar accurately, so fast that the believers had no time to deal with it.

However, this is the best!
The Longevity Cult, this cult that lives in secret darkness, harbors infinite desires, and has killed countless lives, has finally come to its day of destruction.Continuing one's own life with the blood of others, such a method of longevity, is ultimately forbidden by the law of heaven.

She took out the small blood-stained purse from her bosom, and it took a lot of effort to hold back the tears.

I hope that the owner of this purse is the last soul to be murdered by the Longevity Sect.

When the treetops moved, the jackdaws were startled and flew up.

And that slender figure had disappeared into the moonlight.

-

The young King Li Ang of Yu was riding a white steed, leading the ranks at the front, with his personal guards on one side and a handsome young man with a long sword on the other side, Luozhou The guard of Governor Liu Chengxian.

The Xie family is an aboriginal clan that has been entrenched in the south of Guizhou for a long time. Li Ang was ordered to station in Zhuangzhou and negotiate with the Xie family, hoping to calm down the power struggle between the government and the aborigines.He also heard about the Longevity Cult that originated in Xijiang in Zhuangzhou, but he didn't know much about it. He only knew that this teaching peddled the method of longevity, and there were different opinions on its efficacy.

In the past two years, many sub-forts of the Longevity Sect have popped up in various prefectures. At first, the government didn't take it seriously. After all, there are so many types of folk beliefs that it is impossible to have the energy to manage and investigate them one by one.It wasn't until Luozhou found out that the Longevity Sect had raised taxes without permission, and the court didn't pay attention to it, and ordered him to lead troops to wipe it out.

But the Xijiang Longevity Sect is very mysterious, and no one knows where the main altar is.When Li Ang was at a loss, a guard came to the gate of his camp holding a name card and Liu Chengxian's personal letter, claiming to know the location of the main altar and altar of the Longevity Sect.

This person is young, handsome and elegant, he looks like a cultivator, but he is full of heroism, like a frivolous knight walking in the rivers and lakes.He knew everything about the Longevity Sect in Luozhou, and he also investigated the situation of many missing persons in the Guizhou area. Li Ang finally decided to trust him, and ordered troops to follow him to Dayue Mountain, the location of the Longevity Sect.

Dayue Mountain belongs to Luo'an County, but it is not far from Qingyan County, the seat of Zhuangzhou. It took Li Ang's troops more than a day to reach the foot of Dayue Mountain at sunset.The guards asked Li Ang to wait for a while at the foot of the mountain, then jumped up to a stone slope in front of the cliff with ease, turned a certain stone, and then there was a dull grinding sound, and a stone door opened in response.

Li Ang waved his hand, the officers and soldiers shouted in unison, the sound shook the valley, and rushed into the cave.Although the Longevity Sect was doing evil things, it didn't have any effective force organization. Faced with the sudden army attack from the sky, the members of the sect were powerless to resist, and immediately fled in all directions, only regretting that they didn't have two more legs.

After entering the cave, Li Ang found that the space of this cave is not too wide. Going straight into the cave, you will find the lobby where the believers discuss their affairs on weekdays. The rest are scattered small stone rooms.

The officers and soldiers quickly controlled the believers in the cave. Most of them were ordinary people who joined the religion because of their fame. They had nothing to do except eat and sleep all day long.These people are very pale and lack of energy, not only because they have not seen the sun for a long time, but also because they will regularly exchange their blood for divine water in order to seek longevity.

Is this the core cultivation method of the Longevity Sect?Li Ang picked a young man who looked smarter and asked him to come forward to answer.

"What you call practice is exchanging blood for water?"

"Back, back to the Grand Master, yes."

"Who are the people in your teaching who are usually in charge?"

"The leader, the great witch, and the saint. We all obey the order of the leader, and the witch and the saint are responsible for the sacrifice."

"Sacrifice?"

"That's... that is, Dawu and the others will find some people with special physiques, suitable for offering to the heavens."

Li Ang's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "How dare you make people sacrifice?"

The man was so frightened that he prostrated himself on the ground, shaking like chaff, "I don't know, it's none of the villain's business! This is all done by the leader and the others!"

"Show me clearly, among the people kneeling here, is there anyone like the leader?"

The young man straightened up and looked around, then shook his head and said in a low voice: "Master, no, they are not here."

A person next to him said timidly: "Da Wu and the others have gone to the altar. I heard that a girl was caught and a ceremony will be held today."

When Li Ang heard this, he frowned and became even more angry: "Where is the altar? Where is it?"

"My lord, the altar and the teaching altar are separate, not here." The guard next to him said lightly, "Although the cave is connected, the passage is very narrow, and it is difficult for a large group of people to pass through."

"Is there a mountain road to detour outside?"

"some."

"Okay." Li Ang nodded, and ordered the guards to stay in the altar to clean up and put them in prison, while he led half of the officers and soldiers, and followed the guards to detour to the altar in the back mountain.

There is a mountain between the main altar and the altar of the Jiaomen. Li Ang led his troops to march for more than half an hour. Halfway up the road, suddenly several men came out from the dense forest, all wearing black cloth clothes, and one of them was wearing several silver ornaments.

"Catch them!"

A few people bumped into the officers and soldiers of the brigade suddenly, they were extremely astonished, and when they came back to their senses, they panicked and were about to escape, but they were already surrounded by officers and soldiers.

"Excuse me, Lord, spare my life, Lord!"

Li Ang sat on the horse and interrogated condescendingly: "Who are you?"

"Master, the younger ones are farmers at the foot of the mountain, they were arrested by the Longevity Sect..."

"False words!" Li Ang yelled angrily, "Are you the leader or the great witch?"

"No, no, the villain isn't—uh!" With the long knife on his neck, the man finally admitted tremblingly, "The little one is a witch."

"Where's the girl you captured?"

"She...she ran away! The adults are so mighty, and the little ones have not had time to worship the gods, so the girl ran away!"

"Really?"

"My lord's lesson, my lord's lesson!"

"Even if this one escapes, the blood debt in your hand will be indispensable! Where are the leader and the saint?"

"I don't know, the villain really didn't see..."

"Tie it on!"

Li Ang gave an order, and then led the soldiers to move on.After walking for another quarter of an hour, everyone found a secret path.

This path is directly connected to a stone platform on the mountainside, measuring a square meter, and the stone platform is pitch black, so it is hard to see how deep it is.It turned out that this was the altar where the ceremony was performed.Entering the cave from the cave door in the opposite direction, there was no one inside. Most of the believers shivered when they saw the officers and soldiers, and fell to the ground directly.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers took control of the situation without much effort, Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief.At this time, the subordinates came to report: "My lord, we found a girl in the forest outside."

"Oh? Bring it up."

Two sergeants quickly helped a girl up the stone platform.The girl was dressed in black cloth with tree and bird patterns embroidered on it, and she didn't have any jewelry on her whole body.Her temples were disheveled, her hands and feet were scratched, and she looked very frightened.

Li Ang saw this woman's delicate and pitiful demeanor, and felt that she should be the innocent woman who was arrested and sacrificed.Thinking of what happened to her, he immediately felt sorry for her, and asked slowly: "The girl was arrested by the Longevity Sect?"

"Back...to my lord, yes." The woman replied softly, the horror in her voice was unbearable to hear, "The little girl is the daughter of a nearby farmer's family. .They locked me up for several days, and today I was about to... Fortunately, the adults came, otherwise the little girl would really die."

As he spoke, tears rolled down his face, pitiful and pitiful.

"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, it's okay." Li Ang softened his voice even more, comforting her, "Take a rest first, and I'll send someone to take you home later."

"Thank you, my lord, for saving my life, thank you, my lord!"

"They are all my Dazhao people. This king has the responsibility to ensure that you live and work in peace and contentment." He waved his hand and asked the woman to be taken down first.

The dark clouds in the sky also dissipated, a round of bright moon shines on the valley, the trees shake in the silver light, and the mountain breeze is refreshing and pleasant, sweeping away the darkness and gloom when it came.He couldn't help being in a good mood when he thought that he had wiped out the Longevity Sect tonight without any effort, not only saving innocent people, but also making meritorious service.Of course, this is also due to the guard who led the way——

Only then did Li Ang think of the guard, but he turned around, but couldn't find anyone.

At some point, the boy with the sword had quietly left.
