After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

The officers and soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. The thunder and lightning just now were indeed scary, and it was possible that the two men were dazzled.

Besides, with such strict guards, how could anything go wrong? After those refugees came in, they were all well-behaved.

"Captain, it seems that the third brother hasn't come back yet. Do you want to send a few brothers to pick him up?"

A soldier with shifty eyes came forward and looked at the captain with a somewhat obscene hint in his eyes.

"How could we not know what you are planning?"

The captain, who was the officer who had asked Lao San to hurry up, looked at the wretched man with a half-smile and said indifferently:

"How can the Third Brother, who is in such a strong condition, finish the job so quickly? You might as well wait a little longer. He will naturally bring the person back, and you will be there for him."

All the men around burst into laughter, and the wretched man also showed some excitement on his face. He rubbed his fingers and had to go into the house and wait.

Yuxiu hid in the space and saw everything clearly. She secretly took note of it and planned to go and see what the two Taoists were up to first.

The two Taoists walked quite fast. Yuxiu followed behind them, walking forward for a long distance in twists and turns before finally entering a large courtyard with three entrances and a separate courtyard.

Taoist Priest Lin had always been somewhat suspicious about the dizziness he had experienced before, so he was very alert along the way, looking back from time to time, which annoyed the Taoist holding the lantern.

"Stop looking around. We're already in the yard. Even if there's something, you wouldn't dare to follow us in, right?"

The Taoist holding the lantern was very impatient. He glanced at Taoist Lin with some contempt, turned around and went into the house. Taoist Lin didn't dare to stay alone in the dark yard, so he quickly followed him in.

He didn't know what was going on, but his heart was beating like a drum all the way. He always felt like something was following him, and there was a constant sense of nervousness that made his scalp tingle. Thinking about what they were doing now, no matter how much he tried to convince himself, he knew that this was an immoral act.

Thinking of the thunder that happened tonight, he became even more frightened.

Yuxiu didn't care what the two people were thinking. Relying on the cover of the space she had, she quickly hid under the window. Through the small gap, she could see everything in the room clearly.

"Why did you come back so late tonight? Did something go wrong?"

A thin middle-aged Taoist priest came up, frowned, took the earthenware jar from Taoist Lin, opened the lid and sniffed it, then nodded with satisfaction.

"Today's blood is fresh."

Taoist Lin shrank his neck and spoke with satisfaction. The other Taoist holding the lantern smiled and said, "Big Brother, you don't know. There was thunder and lightning outside just now, which scared Junior Brother Lin. He insisted that there was someone over there. Those people searched for a long time, but they didn't see anyone, not even a ghost."

The Taoist priest who was called the eldest brother couldn't help laughing. He looked at Taoist Lin and said:

"It's normal to be dazzled. Maybe you're tired these days. Take a day off tomorrow and serve the master at home. Let me and your Senior Brother Huang go over tomorrow."

The three of them exchanged a few words, and then an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard came out from the inner room. When they saw him come out, the three of them called him "Master" respectfully.

The old Taoist priest's face was solemn. He only nodded slightly in response, and then his hawk-like eyes shot towards the window.

"Who is there?"

He shouted loudly, and the eldest senior brother rushed out of the house like an arrow. He looked around the yard and found that the doors and windows were all closed, with no signs of having been opened. There was not even a single person in the yard.

"This...isn't it haunted?"

Taoist Lin shrank his neck and whispered the previous incident. This time, the few people did not question him. Everyone looked at each other and cast their eyes on the old Taoist priest.

"Anyway, this place may have attracted other people's attention. You guys pack up your things and we'll leave the city tomorrow."

The old Taoist priest also looked around. He would not have misheard the slight breathing sound just now. Even if he did not find any clues now, he believed that the man was a very powerful master. He did not dare to have any lucky thoughts and decided to leave early tomorrow morning.

He didn't know that the master in his mind was already sitting on the small sofa in the space to rest.

"Have a drink of water and take a rest. The food will be ready soon."

Cui was wearing an apron with cartoon patterns tied around her waist. She placed a cup of warm water in front of Yuxiu. Seeing that she looked a little frightened, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

But thinking that everything she did was arranged by her divine master, she did not dare to express her opinions casually.

"Mom, don't tire yourself out. I'm fine."

Yuxiu comforted Cui for a few times, then began to call the small system out.

"Little system, why don't you give me a task this time?"

Could it be that this little system fell asleep and forgot about its mission?

She was sitting on a small sofa in the square at this time. She had already seen that the concrete ground in the distance had changed. It had become a large black area. It seemed that such a large area of ​​black soil had really been exchanged.

"The host has not triggered the task himself, but everyone can help to send one."

The small system was also helpless. This mission was centered around the county magistrate in the city, but the host chased after the two Taoists as soon as he entered the city.

"This time the mission is to eliminate the county magistrate of Jiaoshan County, and the mission reward is still a martial arts secret book."

Jiaoshan County is the name of this county. The county magistrate is of noble origin. He is the nephew of Xing Gonggong, an old eunuch who serves the emperor.

Eunuch Xing's real name was Ren Dexing. He was abducted and sold into the palace to be a eunuch when he was young. Later, he was lucky enough to be by the emperor's side and became a senior steward. He was a popular figure in the palace who everyone competed to please.

The position of magistrate of Jiaoshan County was arranged by him for his eldest nephew Ren Wanfu.

This uncle and nephew are not good people. They have been bullying the people in Jiaoshan County over the years, making the people in this area miserable but with nowhere to turn to.

Eunuch Xing is, after all, someone close to the emperor. If he just says a few bad words, he could ruin someone's lifelong struggle. At the very least, he could lose his job, or even his life. In this case, who would dare to go against him?

And those Taoist priests were also found by Eunuch Xing with great difficulty. He was now a disabled person with some unknown quirks. He didn't know how he knew that those Taoist priests could refine a kind of elixir. If he took it for 49 days, the missing things would grow again.
