Chapter 1018: The Mysterious Man in White
Regarding the affairs of the previous dynasty, the involvement of the Jia family and Princess Qingyun, in addition to the treasures of Shuangfeng Mountain, there is now an ancient tomb under the ground of Yunzhou.
This had to make Wen Qingzhu guess that this ancient tomb was the tomb of Princess Qingyun.
When the sky darkened, Wen Qingzhu was on the way back to the inn and found that a few tooth shops passing by were very lively.
When I went back and inquired, I learned that most of the people had no food in their homes.
Now that it's cold, they can't afford to eat, let alone charcoal fires or something, and many people can't get through it, so they can only sell their sons and daughters and sell themselves into slavery.
Wen Qingzhu said strangely: "Hasn't Yunzhou been recruiting people these days?" With food and shelter and wages, why don't they go? ”
"Those who can go have gone, and those who can't go really don't want to go, adults take a look at this." Jasmine made a rough count of the people who went to the temple these days.
After reading the booklet handed over by Jasmine, Wen Qingzhu directly slapped the booklet on the table: "Is there something wrong with the people of Texas?" I'm dying of hunger? There is still money and food to go to the temple to make incense? ”
"It's not just incense, we've also found this in the past few days." Jasmine brought another ledger up.
As soon as Wen Qingzhu opened it, his face suddenly became gloomy: "What is the number of these people?" ”
Jasmine explained: "Tomorrow there will be the most people who believe in Buddhism, but secretly there are many people who believe in this sect that is less than ten years old. ”
"And then?" Wen Qingzhu vaguely understood something.
There are more than 30,000 people in Texas, and the last time they recruited them to Yunzhou, only 5,000 people have gone to Yunzhou, and there are less than 8,000 people including their family members who have difficulty moving.
Then there are more than 20,000 people left, and when she was in Yunzhou, she saw the number of household registrations reported by Dezhou.
There were less than a thousand servants and maidservants.
Then the rest is probably these Protestants.
"By the way, according to our investigation, there is a homecoming who is very special, they don't have much property under their name, but they have a good income every year, and I have determined that there are basically no people in their Zhuangzi."
"No one? So where did the income come from? ”
Jasmine took a map and used a red pen to go out of a Zhuangzi outside the city of Dezhou: "This place is a Taoist temple, and the yamen is not recorded, and there are a fixed number of 300 people going there every day. ”
She turned around and went to a white porcelain statue again: "This is what we found during the investigation, this is the god of their new sect, I specially selected ten families to observe, they will visit especially devout sooner or later, every time the whole family is together." ”
"This ......" Wen Qingzhu touched the white porcelain statue, and it seemed that there was really something he didn't know.
She suddenly asked, "How come I have never seen this white porcelain figure on the street?" ”
Jasmine pointed to the map again and said, "That's because all the white porcelain figures came out of this Taoist temple, and we tried to invade over there, but it's strange, there doesn't seem to be anyone inside." ”
"No one?" Wen Qingzhu thought of the night she was assassinated.
It seemed that she needed to go to that Dao to see.
About an hour later, Wen Qingzhu knocked out the family and arrived at the door of the Taoist temple after changing his appearance.
After queuing for half an hour, they finally arrived at the door.
Looking at the two Taoist priests in front of him, he was ready to say that he was completely different from a Taoist priest like Xuan Wei.
They were dressed in pure white clothes, and their faces were not much different from those of ordinary people.
Looking at the time when he asked them to check the post and stretched out his hand to ask for silver, Wen Qingzhu felt that he was simply the official guarding the city gate!
Even blacker than they are.
Jasmine took the silver and handed it over, and one of them weighed it and said, "Didn't I remember when your family was here last time?" Why is there more money this time? ”
"Didn't you borrow it from a neighbor? The family went to Yunzhou to work, and now they are living a good life. Wen Qingzhu hoarsely explained, with a sickly look on his face.
The gatekeeper's face suddenly sank: "What? You guys are having a bad time in Texas? ”
Wen Qingzhu hurriedly bowed his head: "No, no, no!" Our hard days are temporary, but there will be good days in the future! ”
Seeing her so up, the gatekeeper let them in.
After walking a few steps, Wen Qingzhu heard the doorman who threatened them just now: "That girl is really good-looking, if it weren't for the fact that the Lord didn't allow us to come here these days, I really thought-"
Then there was a lewd laugh from behind.
Wen Qingzhu turned his head to look at Jasmine and asked in a low voice, "He didn't do anything to you just now, did he?" ”
Jasmine didn't want to say it, but Wen Qingzhu asked, and she couldn't help but say, "That person touched the back of my hand just now." ”
These words made Wen Qingzhu's eyes cold, it seems that this is really not a good place?
Temporarily patient, Wen Qingzhu followed the people in front of him to enter.
Soon, they arrived at a square.
The square was actually very clean, filled with three hundred futons.
Wen Qingzhu glanced at the number on the post in his hand, and looked carefully at the futon, and sure enough, there was a corresponding number.
After searching around and finding a specific position, they learned to sit cross-legged by others.
After sitting for a while, Wen Qingzhu felt very strange.
When they came, it was still snowing lightly, but now the sky is very bright, and the moon is there.
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes slightly and found that the moon in the sky was actually round!
Counting the time, she was shocked.
At this time, it should be the new moon!
How could there be a full moon!
"What are you looking at?" Suddenly, a man appeared in front of him.
Wen Qingzhu hurriedly retracted his gaze and found a man in white standing in front of him, his face was pale and expressionless, as if he had been caught after drowning.
From this person's body, she felt a cold breath.
Wen Qingzhu hurriedly touched his eyes and said, "Isn't this an eye pain?" It's uncomfortable to look down, so try it with your head up. ”
"Are you feeling unwell?" The man in white had a hint of doubt.
He looked around at Wen Qingzhu's hidden pillars, and now it was barely good, and there should be no problems.
But the middle-aged woman's eyes just now made him very uneasy.
To test his thoughts, he pointed to the sky and asked, "What's up there?" ”
Wen Qingzhu was directly in danger, she looked in the direction of the man, it was the moon.
Out of the corner of her eye, she looked around, and she noticed that the people around her were looking at the sky suspiciously, as if they didn't see anything.
Should she say that?
Wen Qingzhu felt wrong, but what should she say?
"What do you see?" The man in white felt that something was wrong and urged again.
Clearly, the man was already suspicious. hacker
Wen Qingzhu had no way to retreat, so he could only tremble and say: "Look, I saw a halo of light, which was a bit dazzling." ”
As soon as the words fell, the voice of the man in white became gentle: "It seems that your illness is serious?" Then you come with me, and I'll help you solve it. ”
After speaking, the man in white turned and walked forward.
Looking at his figure, Wen Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, but still got up to follow.
Beidou and Jasmine on the left and right were very worried, and Wen Qingzhu gave them a look to calm them down.
Wen Qingzhu followed the man in white to the front, and sat in front of a small futon on a lotus platform at the signal of the man in white.
When she sat down, she could feel the people behind her looking at her.
After a glance, he found that the people below actually cast extremely envious looks.
Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath and sat down, the poison and sleeve arrows in his sleeve were ready.
When she came over just now, she had carefully observed the man in white and was sure that he was human.
It's just that the breath is a little unstable, and it feels like an internal injury.
But as long as it's a human, it can be cut.
Sitting down quietly, Wen Qingzhu was ready to do it at any time.
When the man in white sat down, there was an exclamation from behind him, and some people kept kowtowing and shouting at the same time: "Immortals! Immortals! ”
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and found that a cloud of white mist floated around the body of the man in white.
She stared intently, not aware of the origin of the white mist for the time being.
But soon, the man in white took out a handful of soybeans in his hand and said to Wen Qingzhu: "This is your medicine." ”
Wen Qingzhu stared at the soybeans, a little puzzled.
The man in white smiled and said, "You're optimistic." ”
As he raised his hand, the beans fell to the ground, and they slowly took root and sprouted, growing herbs one by one, and then bearing fruit.
The man in white took a piece of fruit, got up and handed it to Wen Qingzhu and said, "If you eat this, your illness will be cured immediately." ”
In order not to attract attention, Wen Qingzhu had to take it, took it to his mouth and tasted it, with an unreal sense of nothingness.
"Eat." The man in white enjoyed the various reactions of these ordinary people.
When Wen Qingzhu waved his sleeves, he held his breath at the same time, letting the drug come out.
She kept handing it in, and the man in white also retreated to the lotus platform.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wen Qingzhu threw the beans into his sleeve.
All this in front of her made her feel ridiculous.
The man in white was about to sit down, when suddenly his body fell and fell.
Wen Qingzhu naturally hurried up, and when he was propped up on the lotus seat with one hand, the color of the surrounding light suddenly turned dim yellow.
She immediately looked around and saw that they were inside the house.
Countless candles were lit around, there was no square at all, and there was no moon.
At this moment, Wen Qingzhu immediately understood something.
The moment she held the man in white, she found that his body temperature was very low, and the man in white suddenly opened his eyes, just about to scold.
I saw Wen Qingzhu's hand turn with a silver needle, directly blocking his movements.
The man in white immediately did not move, and a distant voice came from behind him.
"What's wrong with the Dao Chief?"
"What's wrong?"
Wen Qingzhu walked directly to the lotus seat, and when he looked back, there was a round smoking stone pillar in a corner of the room.
Could it be the cause of these smokes?
Wen Qingzhu picked up the sleeve arrow without hesitation and directly destroyed the four stone pillars.
In an instant, Beidou stood up abruptly and watched his surroundings vigilantly.
Within a quarter of an hour, the anomaly was discovered.
Everyone was panicking.
"Where is this?"
"How did we end up here?"
"What about the road?"
Jasmine hurriedly rushed to Wen Qingzhu's side, not wanting her to stop suddenly, and looked behind Wen Qingzhu in horror: "Big, adult!" Knife! Knife! ”
Wen Qingzhu didn't feel the danger at all, and stood still.
Suddenly, Jasmine fell to her knees and began to cry.
She seemed to be trying to struggle to get over, but as if someone had grabbed her, she stood still.
Wen Qingzhu looked back and found that the man in white behind him didn't know when, but he woke up?
Seeing her turn around, the man in white was even more surprised: "You, why didn't you-"
"Not confused?" Wen Qingzhu smiled, directly raised his hand, and directly poured the drug on the man in white.
At this moment, the man in white fell asleep completely.
Wen Qingzhu hurriedly walked down and pulled Jasmine up.
As soon as she came up, Jasmine instantly sobered up.
Looking at the panicked people below, and then at Wen Qingzhu, she said in shock: "Explain it!" ”
Then he hugged Wen Qingzhu.
At this time, Beidou was at the forefront and opened the gate.
A cold wind blew in, and everyone shivered.
After a while, everyone woke up.
The people on the outside finally noticed the movement inside.
Wen Qingzhu immediately ordered: "Go and bring them in!" ”
After getting the order, Beidou left here at once.
Everyone in the room was immediately panicked, and finally someone noticed Wen Qingzhu and them.
