Chapter 38: The Crisis of Leaving the City
The scholar's clothes had long turned into pieces of rags while crossing mountains. When Lu Xin first entered the city, because he couldn't stand it, he even proposed to give him a decent outfit. Otherwise, his clothes would be ragged and would be more likely to attract attention.
Strangely, the scholar who has always been greedy and lustful actually refused very decisively. At this moment, watching him slowly pull the patch open, Lu Xin finally understood why this guy was abnormal at that time.
The scholar took out a piece of silver from the mezzanine of his clothes. Although it was not big, it was estimated to be equivalent to five or six hundred cents. Lu Xin and Yue Buhei instantly pulled down their faces, and their eyes were filled with contempt when they looked at the scholar.
Half a tael of silver was enough for a person to live comfortably for several months in the Tang Dynasty in the third year of Zhenguan. Even if the scholar was not shameless and had enough money to rush to Chang'an.
"Waiter, I'll give the two girls the money for this banquet."
After the scholar took out the money, he was full of energy and called the waiter over. Seeing this, the Miaojiang sisters changed slightly and stopped talking. Yue Buhei saw that the scholar had a lewd smile on his face, so he would not miss the opportunity and slammed the table and cursed.
"Your mother, a second uncle, a lustful scholar. If you pretend to be poor all the way, you won't be afraid of being struck by lightning!"
"What do you, a beast, know? This is called being able to live, being diligent and thrifty is the way of Confucius and Mencius. Besides, I invite two girls to drink, which is also a great thing for me to make the people of the Central Plains famous."
The scholar was very thick-skinned and could say anything to him. Yue Buhei could not scold him. After a sudden inspiration, the waiter took two jars of wine and shouted to ask the scholar to pay. At this time, Lu Xin was naturally standing on Yue Buhei's side. The scholar could not resist and settled the money for the wine with a dark face. His hands were so distressed that he trembled. However, in front of the two girls, he could not turn against him, so he could only pretend to be generous.
"Sister, we have drunk wine and eaten food. It's getting late, so let's go back to the room to rest. Tomorrow, we have to find Yin-Yang Deacon."
"Well, I'm tired too. Thank you for your money for the wine, my son. If you are destined to be together, I'll wait for goodbye, hehehehe..."
After the Miao sisters finished speaking, they stood up and left with a smile. The scholar looked at the backs of the two with an obscene look, as if they could flow out water at any time. Yue Buhei naturally mocked him again, scolding the scholar for being obsessed with lust.
"This silver cost is worth it. Two girls scold you and can eat a free meal. How about I go to your house tonight and change it to their appearance?"
"Get out, dead shemale, sooner or later, you will be eaten! You are a fox and you are a beautiful lady, a gentleman. This girl from Miaojiang has long heard of this top scholar. When I saw her today, she really was pure and elegant. Such a woman is the one I missed one day and night."
...
At the time of the moonlight, the three people dispersed from the table and went back to their rooms to rest. Lu Xin was so tired that he went to bed without practicing swords for the first time. This time he slept until noon the next day.
After eating something casually in the inn, it was already approaching. Lu Xin decided to leave the city immediately. When he was about to reach the city gate, the three of them saw a large number of officers and soldiers checking every pedestrian in and out from afar. Not only were there officials from the Governor's Office, but there were even disciples of Shangxuantian Sect in charge.
"It seems that the murder case outside Xuanzhou City may be a little striking. Let's go out to change the north gate and try not to meet the people of Xuantian Sect."
Yue Buhei was almost seen through the changes yesterday by Huang Yu, and he was very cautious. Lu Xin naturally had no objection. If it was a case of a destruction temple, even though he was not killed by him, it would definitely not be able to escape the relationship if it was investigated.
"My mother, Brother Xin. What they are looking for is a destruction of the temple, right? It's related to the people from the Imperial Temple, and if the soldiers died, they will be found to be related to us, will this city still be out?"
"Let's take one step at a time, I hope this case has nothing to do with the destruction of the temple."
Lu Xin's face looked ugly. Although he didn't kill the man, it was difficult to escape after all, if he did it, he would not escape. What's more serious is that the Onmyoji of the Imperial Temple ran away. As long as he insisted that he did it himself, he couldn't even wash it clearly if he jumped into the Yellow River.
After arriving at the North City Gate, there were also a large number of officers and soldiers guarding the front. What was even more terrifying was that there was a person from the North Gate. Lu Xin frowned, and he could basically confirm his heart. The case that Xuanzhou Governor's Office, Shangxuantian Sect, and Yushen Temple jointly investigated was the case of killing the temple.
"You Xianjian, You Xianjian, you have caused me a lot."
Recalling the scene that day, Lu Xin could only shake his head helplessly. If it weren't for the sudden flight of Yin and Yang You Xian Sword and took him to the ruined temple, nothing in front of him would have happened. Lu Xin had the first time that his destiny seemed to be led by the sword in his hand.
"Everyone from the Imperial Temple is here, what should I do? Brother Xin, I have never taken action, let alone killed anyone."
"You go and tell them what they believe or not."
"I believe it or not, I can't go. I've never seen anything in Yin County back then. I've reasoned with the government. I'll give you a slap first, and then I'll give you a false charge. These beasts are so obscene."
The three of them circled around the streets near the North Gate, not daring to leave the city easily or stay in Xuanzhou Prefecture for too long, and they were in a dilemma for a while. In the end, Yue Buhei proposed a plan, which made the three of them stop moving around.
"I heard the two Miao girls say yesterday that they were going to find Yin-Yang Deacon. I think it was probably to get the token of Yin-Yang Mansion. Although I could not see through their cultivation, I was 90% sure that they were not ordinary women, but Onmyoji."
"Token? What does this matter have to do with leaving Xuanzhou City?"
"The Yin-Yang Mansion has the power to grant the level of the casual cultivator Onmyoji, and its token represents the token of Onmyoji's cultivation. This token is recognized by the five major sects, and even the court acquiesced to this matter. As long as you can get the token, you can easily join any of the five major sects, and you can also enter the Imperial Temple to serve as a job."
"Nonsense, the one who is arresting Onmyoji is fine. You're going to come up and die."
After hearing Yue Buhei's words, the scholar scolded him for being ill. Lu Xin also didn't understand. The people who checked the Onmyoji and the martial arts masters. Now, when they went to the Yin-Yang Mansion to test their mana, wouldn't it be like to fall into the trap of the Onmyoji certificate? Besides, he didn't have the mana.
"Hmph, listen to me first. This token is extraordinary. It is the proof of the casual cultivator. Calm down and think about it. In the absence of a sect, no sect, no sect, no sect, what kind of talent is it to be able to cultivate magic power? It means that you are a dragon and phoenix among people. Such disciples are rushing to go out. Even going to Xuantian Sect will give Yin-Yang Magistrate's Mansion some face."
"It's still a nonsense. The top scholar has not cultivated his magic power. How can he get the token? Besides, looking at the person who looked yesterday, would he seem to give you face? Brother Xin, don't listen to this dog-headed military advisor's nonsense. It's a matter of life, so you have to be cautious."
"No, what the fox said might be a solution. Shang Xuantian Sect originally recruited disciples in Xuanzhou Prefecture. If we can do what we like, we might get rid of cross-examination. What's more, the two girls yesterday seemed to like foxes very much. As long as the fox goes up and sells some colors, the chances of leaving the city are still very high. Yes, just do it like this. Fox, you have magic power and find a way to get the token."
Lu Xin's eyes shone, and finally thought of a feasible way to escape. However, after listening to the words, Yue Buhei shook his head repeatedly.
"I am a demon. If I rashly use magic power in front of the Yin-Yang Deacon, I'm afraid I will be seen through the changes. This matter can only be done by strategy." Yue Buhei said this, pointed to the scholar's head, and then looked at the way he came.
"As long as those two girls get the tokens, we can get it from their hands and we will naturally be able to leave the city."
"Damn it, you shameless dead fox, you actually have the idea of two innocent girls. No, a gentleman is virtuous, how can I do such a thing as a thief?"
"Okay, then you can find a way to get out of the city by yourself. Xiao Xin, let's go."
"Yeah, I just borrowed it for use. I think this method is feasible. Yesterday, the scholar invited them to have a meal and helped us out of the city today. This is called cause and effect."
Lu Xin and Yue Buhei took a step as they talked. Seeing that the scholar didn't care about his opinion at all, his face suddenly changed and he hurriedly chased after him.
"Hehe, what a gentleman is not a gentleman? It's not worth mentioning in front of my life. Brother Xin, I'm familiar with them. Then I'll steal... No, I'm borrowing, I'll borrow. What a big deal, hehehe..."
"Yeah, aren't you going to take the top scorer? Why, the top scorer will do these stealing things?"
"Fox, fox, what's the point of saying you? As the saying goes, death is like a lamp extinguishing. Even if your life is gone, you will still be the top scholar. In the face of life and death, Tu has always distinguished clearly which one is more important."
...
After the three of them made up their minds, they first went back to the inn. However, the shopkeeper said that the Miaojiang sisters had already left the room and were not sure where they were. Yue Buhei didn't know where the Yin-Yang Deacon was in Xuanzhou City, so the three had to search everywhere.
The sky gradually darkened, and nearly evening, two more groups of people came to Xuanzhou City. According to Yue Bu Hei, these people may be Onmyoji. As for the purpose of entering the city, it is unknown.
In a blink of an eye, there was a mixture of fish and dragons in Xuanzhou City, and it seemed that something major would happen. Lu Xin and others could not leave the city, and they saw that it was getting late, so they planned to go back to the inn to stay for another night, so as to wait for the Miao sisters to wait for the first time.
At the last moment of You hour, two Miaojiang girls appeared. Lu Xin and the other two were secretly happy and quickly opened the room next to the two sisters. They waited until the third hour of the hour before they decided to take action.
Yue Buhei was good at changing, so she disguised herself as a waiter and went to knock on the door. But she found that the door of the two sisters was open. What's even stranger was that there was not even a single person in the room. Just when the three of them looked at each other and didn't know what to do, a large number of dull footsteps suddenly came from the bottom of the inn. It sounded that there were a large number of people passing by, and their footsteps were very heavy. Lu Xin quickly looked down from the window, his eyes suddenly changed, and he was stunned.
