Chapter 22 The crisis is approaching

Normally, it is definitely a panic if you accidentally hurt an innocent person, but this person's outfit does not look like an innocent person, and Bai Bingyu is not the kind of delicate lady. It is not clear whether he has killed anyone, but he must have seen dead people and many dead people.

While Tianyou was still sighing, Bai Bingyu had already reached out and pulled up the man's wrist, turned over and checked his palm, and then touched his arm all the way upwards, and found a small pocket in the bend of the upper arm, which contained several pocket portraits wrapped in waterproof oil paper. If you look closely, you can vaguely recognize that it was Ying Ying and the other party, and Qin Bo and himself were both excluded.

"It seems that I have a lot of death." Tianyou smiled and touched the man's waist. Sure enough, he found a cloth bag. He reached out and poured all the things inside into his palm. It was covered with some scattered silver, about a dozen taels, and a string of more than a hundred copper coins. "Do you care?" Tianyou laughed and put the silver back again and stuffed it into the defective worry-free bag. "Hehe, no one is rich without wealth."

Bai Bingyu stood up and gave Tianyou a white look, "We are in trouble."

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Bai Bingyu's expression was not very good, Tianyou also put away his smile.

“Things got complicated.”

"Um?"

"This man is the killer of the Night Temple."

"The killer of the Night Temple?" Tianyou looked at the corpse again in surprise.

If he was an ordinary mountain villager, he would probably be confused when he heard the name of Night Temple, but Tianyou was not. When he was wandering around with his adoptive mother Xiyan in his early years, he heard the name of Night Temple more than once. In the eyes of those who run around in the world, Night Temple is simply a myth. But Tianyou has a different view because he comes from another world, a world as dirty as here, but with higher transparency.

After traveling through time, Tianyou collected a map of the land of China under his feet and found that the basic outline was no different from the land of China in his previous life, but the specific terrain was very different. There were ten countries distributed on this land, one by one, they formed a circle like ten people holding hands, and at the center of the circle was a large neutral area.

The outer periphery of this neutral area is almost covered with mountains and mountains, and only some fragmented flat land can allow ordinary people to survive, but this is not the reason why the ten countries gave up this land.

The reason why this neutral area exists is because of the existence of the two religions of immortals and Buddha. It is completely different from the previous life. Here, the two religions of immortals and Buddhas are completely a transcendent existence. Although they have not established a country, they are better than the country. The entire neutral area is the territory of the two religions of immortals and Buddhas. Here, they are divided into sects and occupy some hills. The large swaths of land around them are the sphere of influence of this sect. People living within this range have to pay taxes to their sects. If there is a dispute, they will arbitrate by the sect designated personnel. If there is a case of bandits, the sect will also send people to arrest them.

It can be said that these sects are actually small kingdoms. The difference is that apart from collecting taxes and maintaining basic public order, the sect never participates in local construction and does not plan anything. In this area, everything seems very casual. Although the taxes are not less than those collected by the ten countries, people are very free. Of course, there are also many dark sides.

The most direct reason why Tianyou felt that the Night Temple was not simple is that every time the assassins in the Night Temple were chased, they would enter the neutral zone once they could not escape. The princes and princesses of Chu State were killed again and again. Is the King of Chu a fool? No, he is not, but the assassination continues. Although he pays a huge price every time, as long as the assassin is willing to pay, he can always succeed. Moreover, as long as the assassin is completed, the remaining assassins will escape to the neutral zone.

According to the rules established between these sects and various countries, soldiers of the ten countries cannot enter the neutral zone. It is said that Chu had a large-scale conflict with the Buddhist sects in the neutral zone for this matter, but in the end it was in disrepair with the Immortal Sect's mediation, but in fact, Chu suffered a great loss. As for the Night Temple... it was still at large.

Once or twice, it was an accident, and it was like this every time. It was absolutely impossible to say that the Night Temple had nothing to do with it in the neutral area. In this world, the sectarian forces were vaguely above the country.

Tianyou believed that the Night Temple was probably the special forces of the national special forces that specialized in dirty work in their previous lives, but behind the Night Temple was not a superpower, but one or several sects. This kind of thing was played with by the five major gangsters in their previous life, which was not new, but in this world, there were probably not many people who could see the clues.

Tianyou was surprised that the Night Temple was involved, but Bai Bingyu thought that Tianyou had never heard of the name of the Night Temple, so he began to explain. Tianyou quickly interrupted her. "I know what the Night Temple does. I am wondering what to do now?"

"It is said that the killers sent by the Night Temple are at least all cultivators in the gluten refining stage, and they are definitely not comparable to those of the previous rabble. If there are only a few of them, we can still deal with them, once there are too many..."

"Don't worry, as long as we are still human, we can't suffer any losses in this Qingyuan Mountain."

Tianyou said this, but it was mostly comforting. They still encountered this killer and were still bad and could not be used as a reference. So it was too early to say anything now, but there was one thing that Tianyou and the others had to do as soon as possible.

Together with Bai Bingyu, he put the corpse down from the tree and pulled out the armor-breaking arrow. Tianyou found two small branches, cut them a few times, and then inserted them into the trunk from the holes on both sides, disguising them as two branches growing on the side. Anyway, the killer would not specialize in studying big trees.

They put away the arrow, shoveled up the blood-stained floating soil on the ground, and then moved the body outside the Hundred Beasts Valley and threw it into the river with the bag of soil.

"Okay, let's leave the rest to the crocodile. Let's go back and call others and move quickly."

"Can't stay in the cave tonight?"

"You don't want to sleep until midnight and get stuck in the hole, right?"
