After the wolf demon left, the land disappeared without a trace, and the surroundings of the ruined temple returned to silence.
Tian Xunzi tilted his head and looked at Nanfeng.
Nanfeng knew why Tian Xunzi looked at him. The land was driven by the wolf demon and was responsible for guarding this ruined temple. With the land guarding it, they naturally couldn't go to slay the demons and catch ghosts.
At this point, he didn't want to broaden his horizons and gain knowledge, but he didn't want to leave just yet, because the words on the bronze bell were very similar to the words on the tortoise-shell heavenly book, and he deliberately copied those words.
After thinking about it, Nanfeng Chongtian Xunzi waved his hand, "You go back first and wait for me at the bottom of the mountain."
Tian Xunzi was very confused, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, why don't you leave, sir?"
Naturally, Nanfeng couldn't tell Tian Xunzi about the turtle-shell heavenly book, so he found a high-sounding reason. He only said that there were a large number of headless corpses in the canyon stone house before, and there were many heads here. As a local official, he had to check it out. after all.
This reason sounded somewhat far-fetched to Tian Xunzi. He had been dead for hundreds of years, and there was no point in investigating the case now. But other than that, he couldn't think of any other reason for Nanfeng to stay. After thinking about it, he rushed The two little Taoists said, "You go down the mountain overnight, and your Excellency and I will return tomorrow."
Nanfeng originally wanted to leave with Tian Xunzi, but he did not do so after pondering. After all, Tian Xunzi knew more than him, and staying here could deal with unexpected situations. In addition, even if Tian Xunzi saw him copying He also had a reason for copying the words on the bronze bell. He only said that he was looking for clues to investigate the case.
The two little Taoist boys left overnight, taking away the chickens and dogs, and carrying all the desks and desks on their backs. Tian Xunzi only left some simple belongings with him.
After the quarrel that had happened earlier, the two of them didn't dare to get angry again. They huddled up in a sheltered place. The night was cold and frost started to fall in the second half of the night. Nanfeng took out some wine and warmed up Tian Xunzi. At first, Tian Xunzi couldn't help but I drank it, but later I couldn’t bear the cold anymore, so I drank it too.
If you are with Tianmu Lao Tao, you can talk and ask for advice, and things will go faster. But if you are with such a stuffy gourd, it will be particularly difficult. Meditating and practicing Qi can relax your Qi and blood, but it cannot completely resist the cold.
He finally waited until the sun rose, but Nanfeng felt sleepy and tired. He wanted to sleep in the sun for a while, but Tian Xunzi was eager to leave and urged him to go to the ruined temple to check out and leave early.
Nanfeng wanted to go over and copy the text, but he was worried that the land would notice it, so he thought about asking Tian Xunzi to set a fire twenty miles to the west to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
Setting fire to a mountain is a capital offense at this time. Although Taiqing Taoists do not abstain from killing, they will not kill in vain. Once a mountain fire breaks out, many innocent birds and animals will suffer.
Seeing Tian Xunzi's hesitation, Nanfeng guessed what he was worried about, so he gave him an idea to set the fire in places that could not spread widely.
After hesitating, Tian Xunzi went anyway to take advantage of others. He just got fifty acres of land, so he had to do something for others. Now he couldn't catch ghosts and subjugate demons. If he refused to even set fire, it would be a bit unreasonable. .
After Tian Xunzi left, Nanfeng took out the cinnabar jar, unplugged the cork, and poured wine into it. The cinnabar had to be mixed with wine and could not be dissolved with water.
Half an hour later, the west mountain started to smoke. After waiting patiently for a while, Nanfeng came out of his hiding place, regained his strength, and flew north. In fact, he could only make a leap now, and he could only jump seven times with one use. Eight feet, not even a flyby.
He had already thought about the details before. Once he started, he crossed the canyon very quickly, entered the ruined temple, and widened the gap on the west side of the iron gate of the ruined temple.
As soon as a few gray bricks were pulled out, an old man's voice came to his ears, "What do you want to do?"
Nan Feng turned around and looked back, but no one was there.
"Why can't you stay?" The voice came from nowhere.
"Are you our own land?" Nanfeng asked. Last night, the land possessed the little Taoist and spoke through his mouth. The tone was the little Taoist's own. The old man's voice should be the voice of the land itself.
"Yes, retreat immediately, otherwise I won't blame the old man for hurting you." Tutu warned sternly.
Nanfeng did not ask for help, but said seriously, "Since you are from our own land, you should know that our two brothers are now in charge of Yu County. There is a murder here. I must find out the truth. Since you are from our own land, The land should not prevent me from solving the case. I am desperate, so I will go back and mobilize the policemen to tear down this ruined temple. "
The land did not expect Nanfeng to be so strong, and was speechless in surprise.
Nanfeng did not hesitate and continued to draw the gray bricks downwards, widening the gap.
"It can't be demolished." Tu Tu's tone was extremely anxious.
Nanfeng stopped temporarily, "Why can't it be removed? Who is buried under this bronze bell?"
"I can't tell." Tu Tu was helpless.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Nanfeng didn't wait. He turned around and continued to take the gray bricks.
He never thought that when he took down a gray brick, he would add a gray brick to the wall. He took it slowly and mended it quickly, and he mended it quickly. The gap never widened.
Nanfeng turned around and left, "What a land! As a righteous god, you actually associate with evildoers and prevent the officials from doing errands. I will go back immediately and recruit tens of thousands of people to protect this ruined temple and the area within a hundred miles." All the land temples were demolished for you."
Nanfeng didn't really want to leave, he just threatened him, but it seemed that his previous words didn't frighten Tu Tu. Until he jumped out of the gap in the courtyard wall, Tu Tu didn't say anything again.
"Spring has begun now, and soon the county government will build a pagoda to offer sacrifices to heaven. I will take your crimes to heaven to hear. Don't think that I didn't see the goblin talking to you last night." Nanfeng emphasized his tone, "You and The wolf monster is colluding with others and causing harm to the people of Yu County. It is a heinous crime."
"The officer misunderstood." Tu Tu's tone softened.
"What's the misunderstanding? I saw it with my own eyes last night." Di Di's reaction was also expected by Nanfeng. Whether you are on errands for the imperial court or heaven, they are all official errands. If you are an official errand, you must act according to the rules. If you dare to be corrupt and bend the law, , oppress good people, they must not be tolerated, tolerate and condone them, directly retaliate, expose the evil deeds they have done to the public in public, and make things worse, they are the ones who are afraid.
Of course, this method is only applicable to official officials or heavenly officials. It is not easy to use if the opponent is a bandit or goblin. They have no scruples. If they are accused, it is not impossible to kill someone in anger and silence them.
"Sir, please calm down. I have nothing to do with that wolf demon. Last night it was out of goodwill. I was afraid that it would kill you, so I advised you to leave." Tutu said with a trembling voice.
"What's going on with those skulls here?" Nanfeng asked in a deep voice.
The land is silent.
"Did you kill him?" Nanfeng Jijiang said.
"No, no, how could this old man do such an evil thing?" Tu Di hesitated.
"Who killed the one you didn't kill?" Nanfeng asked again.
The land did not answer.
"Okay, you really won't shed tears until you see the coffin. You also bullied me for being young, right? I'll go back and recruit laborers right now." Nanfeng turned around and left. In fact, no one bullied him for being young. He said that on purpose. , in order to put pressure on the land. Mature, stable, and cunning people sometimes do not have the power to intimidate. Most people are afraid of the hot-tempered and reckless young people who act recklessly. Although Nanfeng is young, he is It's not that you are stupid, but sometimes pretending to be stupid is a way to make others not dare to bully you.
After walking all the way, the land did not stop him. Nanfeng was angry this time. He stopped threatening and strode away. He reached the north bank of the canyon and cast his birth method, quickly heading south.
After applying the body method, it went quickly. When they reached the foot of the mountain, Tian Xunzi had just returned. Nanfeng ordered the three of them to wait at the foot of the mountain, and returned alone to regain their strength.
It was late afternoon when we returned to the county government office. The fat man was taking a nap, and the south wind did not disturb him. He called Zhang Zhong and ordered him to summon the officers and soldiers of the government office. Those who could ride horses would ride on horses, and those who could not ride horses would ride in cars to rush to the northwest.
Zhang Zhong asked the reason, and Nanfeng replied, "Suppress the bandits!"
Seeing that Nan Feng looked unkind, Zhang Zhong didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he took the fire mark and went to mobilize his troops.
Nanfeng called Cui Zhen over again, wrote a document, stamped it with the official seal, and ordered him to immediately mobilize the people from Sanxiang and rush to the northwest with farm tools.
There are more than a dozen villages in one township, and there are hundreds of people in each village. There are at least ten thousand people in the three townships. This is a huge recruitment. Cui Zhen had to ask why. Nanfeng replied, "Open up wasteland!"
Everyone usually benefited from Nan Feng, but when they saw that he was angry, they decided to show it. The county government went out in force, including the concierge.
Nanfeng drank the water and was about to hit the road when the fat man shouted from behind, "Where are the people? Where have they gone?"
"Let me be transferred out." Nanfeng responded.
"There are only two aunties left in the entire county government office. What are you doing?" The fat man came from the backyard.
Nanfeng didn't hide anything from him, and briefly told the fat man what happened last night and morning.
"Are you trying to scare him, or are you really digging him?" the fat man asked.
"Really, I didn't want to touch the clock at first, but now I have to see what's hidden under the clock..."
