Chapter 209, Ning Yan, Shi Hao enters the city
The old woman said stubbornly: "That's because you didn't take good care of my senior brother. Hurry up and take the fruit. The weather is so hot. Eat some fruit to relieve the heat."
Shi Hao rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, aunt! We have accepted the fruit. Can I ask you a question?"
The old woman put the fruit into Shi Hao's hand and said with a smile: "Little Taoist Priest, what question do you want to ask?"
Shi Hao asked: "Madam, do you know where the priest of Quchi Temple is?"
The old woman's expression changed, she reached out and took the hands of Shi Hao and Ning Yi and walked to the corner. She looked around cautiously and whispered, "You Baiyunguan want to interfere in this matter?"
Shi Hao said with a smile: "We just came to take a look!"
The old woman said angrily: "You can't lie to me, old lady, I'm not stupid.
Old lady, although I am not a cultivator and do not understand your affairs, I still advise you not to interfere in this matter. The one who issued the order is Emperor Qing, and no one can save them."
Bai Xiaochun nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay!"
The old woman said helplessly: "Look, you are just dealing with the old woman. If you were not all Taoist priests, I would not be too lazy to talk. Last winter, the Taoist priest of Baiyunguan saved the old woman's life!"
Ning Zhen said from the side: "Thank you for your kindness, aunt. We are here under the order of the teacher. Can you please tell us where the priest is?"
The old woman pointed her finger and said: "There is a square a thousand meters ahead. The priest will ask questions in the square at noon. Just go there and wait."
Shi Hao's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Thank you, aunt."
The old woman couldn't help but advise: "Don't act impulsively."
"I know~" Shi Hao responded with a smile, and the two of them walked forward along the road.
The old woman returned to her stall and was suddenly startled when she saw a silver bead shining brightly on the stall in front of her.
The old woman held the silver bead in her hand, with a bright smile on her face, and turned to look in the direction of Shi Hao and Ning Yi. These little Taoist priests!
Ning Zhen said as he walked: "Senior brother, is one silver bead too much?"
Shi Hao chewed on a piece of fruit and said proudly: "What do you know? This is called friendship and friendship, as Master said."
The two of them reached the crossroads, and there were already some people gathered around them. There were knights with swords and some ordinary people, all of whom were whispering about Quchi being an evil god.
Shi Hao and Ning Yi walked to an inconspicuous corner and stood there, munching fruits and waiting quietly.
The sun is getting higher and higher, more and more people are watching, and the roads are blocked.
Ning Yi suddenly said: "Here we come!"
Shi Hao, who had been lazy, suddenly looked up and saw a group of soldiers holding long guns escorting many priests. The onlookers pushed and squeezed to both sides, revealing a passage.
After escorting the priests and soldiers into the center of the square, they suddenly spread out to form a circle, surrounding the priests in the center.
Some of the many priests were sad, some were angry, and most were frightened.
A young priest looked around in fear and shouted: "I am not, I am not a believer of the evil god, I really am not! Please let me go, let me go!"
Many priests screamed in fear: "I'm not a priest! Please forgive me! I really don't know anything about the evil god Quchi."... Some of them hurriedly grabbed their priest robes and tried to take them off.
In the panic, Chang Yang, who was wearing official robes, walked out from behind the soldiers and said with a smile: "Everyone in the city, I am the lord of the city personally appointed by your majesty."
All the people immediately looked at Chang Yang in awe.
Chang Yang continued to speak loudly: "After I arrived in Anqing City, I conducted an open and covert investigation and discovered that Anqing City has a big problem. It seems that there is a dark mist shrouding Anqing City, greedily peeping at the people in the city.
I am incompetent. Although I know that there is a dark cloud hanging over Anqing City, my lack of ability has not discovered the mastermind behind the scenes. It was not until His Majesty issued a decree yesterday that I finally realized that Quchi God turned out to be the evil god."
Chang Yang looked around, put his palm up on his left chest, bent down and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for seeing thousands of miles away and wiping away the evil spirits for us."
Immediately some people shouted loudly: "Long live your Majesty, the evil god deserves death!"
"Long live your Majesty, the evil god deserves death!"
…
Others shouted in grief and anger: "Kill the evil god, kill the priest, and avenge my daughter's family!"
"It was the evil god who killed my parents. Please avenge us!"
…
The priests looked at the excitement around them, some panicked, and some looked confused.
The high priest smiled bitterly, lowered his head and said to himself: "God Quchi! How innocent you are~"
A young priest looked at the people around him in horror, knelt on the ground with a bang, crawled towards Chang Yang, hugged Chang Yang's legs and shouted in fear: "Sir, I am not a believer of the evil god, I am going to collect evidence."
Yes! I already knew that Quchi was an evil god, and I went in to collect evidence of his crime!"
Chang Yang groaned, looked down at the priest at his feet, and said with a half-smile, "Then do you think Quchi is an evil god?"
The young priest immediately shouted angrily: "Yes, he is the evil god! Quchi and I are at odds with each other."
Chang Yang nodded and said: "Very good!"
The high priest shook his head helplessly, "It's useless, he won't let us go."
In the corner outside the crowd, Shi Hao and Ning Yi's eyes were glowing. Everyone in the crowd in front of them was covered in gases of various colors. Most of them were ordinary white, and only a few people had other colors on their bodies.
Shi Hao muttered: "One, two, three, four, five..."
The dim light in their eyes faded, and Ning Yi said: "Quchi is really a failure. There are more than twenty priests, but only eight of them are not entangled in karma."
Shi Hao complained: "There are only three people who have merit."
Ning Zhen said: "If you haven't done any evil, you shouldn't die."
"Of course I know!" Shi Hao said and walked forward.
Among the crowd, the city lord kicked the priest away from his feet and shouted: "The sun is in the sky, the execution will be carried out."
The young priest was kicked away with a bang and landed in the center of the square in the distance. He let out a painful groan and his face turned pale instantly. He was about to die. He was really going to die this time.
"Wow~" Immediately, soldiers came to each priest, holding big swords, and all the priests trembled in their hearts.
"Wait a minute!" A childish voice sounded from outside, and the people in front of them couldn't help but separate to the left and right, and Shi Haoningyi walked in from the crowd.
"It's a Taoist priest!"
"What are the Taoists doing here?"
"Hey~Does the Taoist priest want to save people? They are people who serve the evil god."
…
The people started talking in low voices.
