Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 138
It's strange, but he didn't bother to ask.

In the evening, Lin Ji found an inn to stay.

He practiced all night in the inn room, and he didn't arrive at the Baili county government office until dawn the next day.

Holding You Xingling to show his identity, it is naturally unimpeded.

He soon met the county magistrate of Baili County, and then the county magistrate brought in a head arrester.

The name of the head catcher is He Xing, and his cultivation is in the early stage of the third realm. He looks very thin and thin, but there is a glint in his eyes.

After learning the identity of Star Official Lin Jiyou, He Xing's face obviously showed a bit of disgust, but he quickly hid it.

"Master Lin came to Baili County on business?"

Lin Ji naturally noticed the change in the expression on his face, but he didn't take it seriously.

When he first met Lu Zhaoer, he was not much better than He Xing.

No way, Officer You Xing's authority is too broad, seriously he can control everything, so no one below knows if Officer You Xing came to check on himself.

"I came to Xiangzhou to check the news of Leiyun Temple a hundred years ago." Lin Ji said bluntly.

"Leiyun Temple?" He Xing was taken aback, and looked at Lin Ji strangely.

"what happened?"

"When did your lord arrive in the county?"

"Last night." Lin Ji vaguely realized something.

"Have you seen those monks last night?"

"Could it be that they belong to Leiyun Temple?" Lin Ji's voice suddenly rose, "Didn't Leiyun Temple be destroyed a hundred years ago?"

"It was destroyed, but it was rebuilt and it's still there." He Xing explained, "However, the Leiyun Temple today is not as famous in Xiangzhou as it was a hundred years ago, so not many people know about it. It just so happens that Xiaguan is one of them."

Lin Ji frowned deeply, his mind was a little messed up.

So Leiyun Temple has been rebuilt?Then what effort does he have to spend, just go to the door and get it.

Thinking of this, Lin Ji's originally anxious mood calmed down.

He nodded slightly, and then asked casually: "Leiyun Temple is in the south of Xiangzhou, how did those monks come to the north for alms? It's almost a thousand miles away."

He Xing grinned, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

"It's thousands of miles away, but those monks didn't come here for alms, but to give alms."

"Almsgiving? Last night I clearly saw the monk taking goods and silver from the common people. What kind of almsgiving is this?"

Lin Ji couldn't figure it out more and more.

He Xing said in a low voice: "In the words of those bald donkeys, they are not asking for money, but giving alms to the common people to accumulate virtue and do good."

This is the first time Lin Ji heard this statement.

The monk begged for alms, and turned out to be the one who gave alms?
"These bald donkeys are so shameless? And do people really believe what they say?"

"Master Lin, you have also seen what happened last night. It's not just that some people believe it." He Xing said with a low smile, "If the county magistrate hadn't issued an order, those monks could only go out at night, and only in Baili If you stay in the county for a day, the ghost knows what tricks they can play."

"This order...do those monks resist?" Lin Ji was a little curious.

He Xing shook his head.

"This is Xiangzhou."

Lin Ji suddenly realized.

He had forgotten what Xiangzhou was, it was a place where Taoism flourished.

The leader of that sect, Taiyi, is in Xiangzhou.

In such a place, no one would allow Buddhism to really develop.

Knowing the news that Leiyun Temple had been rebuilt, Lin Ji didn't plan to stay in Baili County anymore.

Now that we have clear clues, let's go directly to Leiyun Temple and talk about other things.

But just when Lin Ji was about to leave the county government office, a pigeon flew in the sky and landed on Lin Ji's shoulder.

Seeing this scene, He Xing was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed slightly.

The pigeon sent a message, most likely nothing good.

"Master Lin, I'll avoid it first." He Xing quickly backed away.

Lin Ji's expression became more serious, he took out the Youxing Token, and waved it in front of the pigeon.

Seeing You Xingling, Lingge opened its mouth immediately, and a small note fell into Lin Ji's hands.

Lin Ji opened the note, and there was only a simple line on the note.

Go to Xiangcheng quickly and see Ouyang Ke. '

Put the note away, patted the small head of the pigeon to send it away.

After greeting He Xing, Lin Ji hurriedly left Baili County.

Obviously, he made up his mind early in the morning to avoid Xiangcheng, but now it seems that his wishful thinking has come to nothing.

……

After leaving Baili County, Lin Ji walked on the official road to Xiangcheng.

After traveling for more than 30 miles, the originally cold official road became lively.

There were monks passing by Lin Ji constantly, one by one faster than the other, as if they were all in a hurry to get to Xiangcheng.

Lin Ji has never seen so many monks gather. Even if ordinary monks are on their way, they will stay away from the official road and choose deep mountains and old forests.

This is to avoid disturbing ordinary people.

But it was the first time Lin Ji saw monks so unscrupulous now.

"What happened in Xiangcheng?"

Because of what he saw and heard along the way, Lin Ji subconsciously quickened his pace.

Before evening, he had already arrived outside Xiangcheng.

The tall city wall is already in sight, the houses on both sides outside the city wall are scattered, and the crowing and barking of dogs can be heard endlessly, which seems to be a bit more lively than inside the city wall.

This is a completely different scene from Liangcheng.

"Xiangcheng is still divided into inner and outer cities?" Lin Ji was a little surprised.

With his knowledge, he can naturally see the origin of this situation, but it is also because of this that he feels strange.

At the gate of the city, the team entering the city was discharged hundreds of meters.

There are vendors, people, and tourists.

Only those monks I saw on the road were absent.

It is reckoned that the monks should take another way to enter the city, anyway, they will not go directly over the wall.

Naturally, Lin Ji didn't need to line up, he went directly to the officers and soldiers who were still inspecting, and before he opened his mouth to reprimand him, he gagged his mouth with You Xing Ling.

"My lord, please come in." The officers and soldiers quickly moved out of the way.

After entering the city, Xiangcheng was no different from Liangcheng.

The city is not deserted, the roads are quite spacious, and the houses on both sides are made of bluestone.

But the strange thing is that although there are many people coming and going on the road, their voices are kept very low during conversations, as if they are afraid of disturbing something.

There was a strange feeling of depression.

If we say that the place where the common people live outside the city can be considered to be full of life and full of voices.

In this city, it is somewhat gloomy and cold.

Lin Ji asked the way to Fuya, and came all the way to the front of Fuya.

After handing over the token, after waiting for a moment, a yamen servant came out to spread the word that Mr. Ouyang was invited.

Lin Ji followed the yamen servant who led the way into the mansion, went around all the way, and came to the side hall deep in the mansion.

"My lord, Lin Youxing has arrived." The yamen servant stood outside the side hall and said respectfully.

"Come in." A rough voice sounded.

Lin Ji thanked the yamen servant and walked into the side hall.

Then he saw the burly man sitting on the main seat.

"Xiaguan Lin Ji, I have met Lord Ouyang."
