Although Xiaoxi Town is not big, the City God Temple is very famous. Because the City God is effective and meets all your requests, it can be said that everyone knows it within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Xu Yuanwai, who lives in Shanyin County, Prefecture, Yuezhou, was famous for being rich and powerful. Such a wealthy family came from a short journey of hundreds of miles, and they were attracted by the effectiveness of the Chenghuang Temple in Xiaoxi Town. But now, people have died in the temple, and the people around them are naturally shocked.

"I heard that Xu Sanjin's family had an old mother who had a strange disease last month and hired all famous doctors in the city but it didn't work. Later, a Taoist priest from the country passed by Shanyin County and told him to come to our Xiaoxi Town to ask for blessing from the City God, and that everything he wanted would come true. So, the whole family came. And in order to make a wish in the temple fair, he would spend thousands of taels of silver. Now, there was a murder case, which was a sign of great danger."

"That's right? The world has finally been peaceful. Who would have encountered a dead person? It's so unlucky. Besides, the people from the Xu family came to ask the City God for blessing. If they gave porridge and did good deeds, they shouldn't be so unlucky, right?"

"Hehehe, it's not your own business, just take it as a fun and watch. Anyway, we poor people don't even deserve to carry shoes for others, so why bother you."

...

The gate of the City God Temple was already surrounded by people, including men, women, young and old, and many of them came from various prefectures and counties. Lu Xin followed Lu Tingfang into the crowd and found that the yamen runners had blocked the entire City God Temple, not allowed to enter, let alone leave.

Because of the strong incense, the area inside the City God Temple is very large. At this time, not only was there Xu Sanjin's family in the temple, but there were also a large number of pilgrims. Lu Tingfang took a rough look and found that there should be no less than 300 people. Even if the murderer was still among these people, such a chaotic scene might not be easy to find.

"Brother, where are there dead people? I can't see them."

"What are the kids looking at? Close your eyes."

Lu Tingfang snorted coldly and blocked Lu Xin's eyes with his hands. But following his eyes, in the middle of the Chenghuang Temple, there was a huge incense burner half a person tall under the courtyard. The body was right next to the incense burner, with a large amount of blood around it, and the color had turned black.

In addition, Xu Sanjin's family was controlled by the county magistrate under the statue of the City God by the people of the county magistrate, and the county officials were questioning. The rest of the pilgrims were waiting for the incident to be on the spot. Several yamen runners followed the county magistrate to observe the bodies, and there was only a young man holding a sword walking around in the audience.

"Strange, this man is dressed in exquisite Han Dynasty uniforms and does not wear an official hat. He actually has the right to investigate the scene of the crime. Could it be... he is the military officer who came from the capital city?"

Lu Tingfang was determined to go to Yuezhou Prefecture City, so he was naturally particularly concerned about the big people from the prefecture. The wisdom of modern people told him that if he wanted to find an opportunity to display his talents, he must first meet someone who could give you the opportunity.

"Xiao Cao, why hasn't Wang Wang arrived yet? It's almost half an hour, and the body's face has begun to stiffen. If you don't come, you can go back to the county government to urge you."

"Don't be anxious, please don't worry, so many murders have occurred in the county recently, and only Wang Bo is the only one who investigates the body. I'm so busy. I've sent someone to pick it up, it should be coming soon."

"Don't be anxious! How many of these are the first ones? The county magistrate ordered me to solve the case within half a month, and I have no clue anymore. Let's go to jail together!"

The county magistrate was a middle-aged martial artist with a big beard and walked with a tremendous look. But his face was very tired, and he was obviously sleep-deprived. The yamen runner was so yelled that he didn't dare to say anything. He was about to return to the county jail to call someone, but was stopped by the young man in gorgeous clothes.

"I have experienced the corpse. There is a contusion on the head. It seems that someone has attacked from behind and fell to the ground, but the real cause of death is poisoning. You smell the blood, it smells black and becomes viscous. Moreover, the tongue from the tip of the tongue to the roots, the whole black and purple is shown to have eroded the whole body and can eliminate the possibility of sudden death. I guess he should have been unable to cure his illness after being poisoned, so he came to the temple to ask for God's blessing."

The young man looked at the beam above his head and spoke, his voice was loud and crisp, and he didn't care about being heard. When the county magistrate saw the young man talking, he immediately stepped forward to laugh with apologizing, with a very respectful expression.

"The military officer has really golden eyes and fire eyes, and my subordinates are so stupid..."

"Okay, keep the flattering words for the future. People are definitely not killed by Mr. Xu's family, you can let them go. Also, you just said that there are still several murders in the county, and it is related to this murder case?"

The young man turned his head, his eyes sharp, and he stared at the county magistrate. The middle-aged man seemed to be a little weak by his eyes, and subconsciously took two steps back.

"If you go back, you will find that there are indeed a few similar murders, which just happened this month."

"Hmph... You didn't report to the state for such a big thing? Is your county magistrate Zhang Deguang? Where is someone else?"

The young man snorted coldly, asked three questions in a row, and his tone was solemn. After hearing this, the county magistrate immediately lowered his head and stammered. At this time, Mr. Xu, below the statue, came up with his family.

"Thank you for your help and repay Xu's innocence. When you return to the city, you will come to thank you."

Xu Sanjin is a slightly fat middle-aged man, about 1.65 meters tall, with very small eyes, but bright and bright. His dress is the richest in the audience, and you can tell at a glance that he is a rich man. Following him are two beautiful women and a seven or eight-year-old girl, the rest are more than a dozen servants, as well as four guards in the mansion.

When the young man saw Xu Sanjin coming, he stopped scolding him, turned around and bowed, and said, "Uncle Xu is out of here. You and my family are family friends, so there is no need to be so polite. Besides, my nephew is just handling the case impartially. Since the case has nothing to do with you, he will naturally release him. County Magistrate He, please bother your people to send Xu Yuanwai's family out."

"Yes, yes, I'll arrange for someone to safely escort Mr. Xu back to the inn. But what should the others do if the military officers are joining the army..."

"Hmph, others? The case has not been investigated. Do I need me to tell you how to do it?"

"I understand!"

After receiving the order, the county magistrate immediately began to arrange people to escort Mr. Xu. This scene made the other pilgrims very dissatisfied. In an instant, the people were clamoring to go out. However, the people in the county government were not vegetarians. After catching a few typical people and having a meal, the crowd gradually became quiet.

"Dear fellow villagers, the military magistrates from the state are handling the case. Please be careful. As long as you catch the murderer, everyone can go home. However, if anyone still wants to cause trouble now, don't blame me He for being rude!"

The county magistrate pulled out the knife from his waist, and his face was fierce and frightened many people. Lu Tingfang sneered outside the door, and then looked at Xu Sanjin who was about to walk out.

But just when Xu Sanjin's family was less than three meters away from the gate, a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the southwest corner of the City God Temple and rushed into the Xu Mansion and his group at an extremely fast speed. In less than two blinks, the four strong guards all fell to the ground and died.

Wow!

For a moment, the City God Temple was in chaos again. Because of the closeness, Lu Tingfang was so scared that his face was pale. He could even smell a thick smell of blood and rushed towards his nose.

"Who!"

The young army's reaction was quite fast. He pulled out the sword in his hand almost the second after the death. After killing the person, the black shadow stood at the door and laughed strangely. He saw his whole body covered in black robe, and he could not see half an inch of his skin. What's even more strange is that purple-red gas appeared around the black shadow's body, which was very strange.

"You can't afford to join the army, my Jiudu Sect's affairs. Although life and death are fate, don't give your own head in vain."

The black shadow laughed strangely in an extremely hoarse and cold voice. As he spoke, he reached out to grab the door. Lu Tingfang felt a huge force coming from the air, and his feet instantly left the ground. When he realized it, the person had already fallen into the City God Temple. At the same time, the heavy temple gate was closed with a "boom".

"Today, no one here wants to go out alive, hahahahaha..."

The black shadow laughed wildly, and Xu Sanjin's family had long been scared to the ground. In addition to being calm when joining the army for a young age, the county magistrate and many yamen runners also showed panic. The black shadow's methods were really too terrifying.

"What is this? Martial arts? Spells? Could it be that I was about to die here as soon as I arrived in the Tang Dynasty? Do I still underestimate the ancient times?"

After Lu Tingfang fell to the ground, the black shadow did not take action, but the scene just now scared his mind blank. This was a feeling of being controlled by life and death, which not only made people fear but also despair. Especially for Lu Tingfang, who came from modern times, the pride of being high and treating everyone as nothing, disappeared at this moment!

"It hurts so much, brother, what happened, why did we come in?"

Lu Xin suddenly screamed in pain, struggling to stand up from the ground. The City God Temple, which was already silent, was instantly attracted everyone's attention when he shouted, and even the black shadow looked down. However, he didn't care. Seeing this, Lu Tingfang quickly covered his cousin's mouth and moved little by little to the corner of the wall. The black shadow didn't care, as if everyone's lives had already been under his control.

"I don't care what kind of sect you are, if you go to the Tang Dynasty today, all demons and evil spirits will retreat under the rule of Emperor Taizong. You should know that the court established Yinyang Temple and Emperor Taizong personally ordered Wei Tunyun to be the chief supervisor of the Imperial Temple. Today, as long as one of the people present dies, the court will definitely send a large army to encircle and suppress it. At that time, no matter whether you are the Nine Poison Sect or the Ten Poison Sect, you will be destroyed in an instant!"

It was obviously not so easy to be scared when young joining the army. He raised the sword in his hand and exhaled like a rainbow. The black shadow listened quietly, and then another strange long smile.

"Wei Duanyun? Hahahaha, the fifth level of Guiwei Realm is a figure in your court, but in my Nine Poison Sect, I don't even deserve to carry my shoes to the sect leader. You don't have to use the Tang Dynasty to suppress me. I am here today to attack your dog emperor. Li Shimin killed his brother and forced his father. Such unfaithful and unfilial puppets are worthy of sitting on the dragon throne?"
