Chapter 164 The Supervisor Directs the Night Attack of the Lu Guoshi ([-] words for subscription)
Just before Ji Pingan lifted the "Water Dungeon" and picked up a lantern from the river.

In the southeast corner of Yuhang City, next to a tributary of the Qinhuai River, almost in the suburbs, there is an independent building. One of the tall buildings is particularly eye-catching and can be seen from a long distance.

At the end of the steps paved with white stones, on the closed gate, there is a plaque of "Onmyoji Academy" hanging.

It's just that outside the cold and cold academy in the past, today there are more carriages and servants waiting on the side.

From the emblem on the car and the text embroidered on the servant's clothes, it can be clearly recognized that this is the team of the head of the Pei family.

After hearing the news yesterday, in the morning, Li Xiangjun personally rode a carriage to the academy, intending to ask the "Old Si Li" who came from the city of God to help with astrology.

Unfortunately, after arriving, I learned that the other party had gone out early in the morning and disappeared. He only claimed to be visiting an old friend and would return later.

Li Xiangjun was worried about the safety of his father-in-law and his eldest son, so he had to wait patiently in the palace.

As a result, after waiting, it was night.

"Madam, it's getting late, why don't you come back tomorrow. Or, when Senior Brother Si Li comes back, I'll invite him to Pei's residence?" The main hall of the school palace was brightly lit, and a star official about fifty years old hesitated. Looking outside, he couldn't help but say.

He is the "supervisor" of the academy in Yuhang City.

Although he is an official, firstly the school is Qingshui Yamen, and secondly, even the magistrate wants to sell Pei's face.

Therefore, facing Li Xiangjun, the supervisor seemed quite polite.

Opposite him, wearing a purple robe and a golden step on her head, the gentle and dignified Mistress Pei's eyes were worried, and she was a little shaken.

She bit her lip, not reconciled to returning without success, but also felt that it was already night, although she brought a group of servants, she was a woman after all, and it was not good to stay here.

While hesitating, footsteps and voices suddenly came from outside, and then a yin and yang man with a lantern flew towards the main hall and said excitedly, "Lord Si Li is back."

The eyes of the beautiful woman suddenly brightened, she rolled her sleeves with her slender fingers, Shi Shi suddenly got up, and hurriedly walked out of the room. From a distance, she saw an old man walking with his hands behind his back.

Wearing a strange robe, with white beard and white hair, he looks like an old pedant, and he has an indescribable demeanor when he walks.

The supervisor was overjoyed, and quickly stood up and said, "Brother is back, let me introduce you, this is..."

Qin Tianjian smiled and said:
"If the old man's prediction is correct, it should be the wife of the head of the Pei family, Pei Wei. She came here this time to find someone for divination? Is that right?"

Li Xiangjun was slightly taken aback, then his brows were filled with joy, and he said:
"As expected of the star official of Shendu City, what the old man said is right."

Immediately, she explained what she asked, but only concealed the information about the magician's body, and finally said sadly:

"The concubine has been worried these days, and I have invited all parties to search, but I have not found anything. I heard that the old man is coming, and I am here to ask, and please help."

The middle-aged supervisor also tactfully persuaded: "Brother, Mrs. Pei has been waiting for you for a long time."

Qin Tianjian is not surprised by this kind of thing. When he was in Shendu, he was harassed by the dignitaries in the city.

So much so that in the end, the announcement of "retreat" was also to avoid being entrusted with relationship astrology all day long.

Unexpectedly, within a few days after arriving in Yuhang, the reputation would spread... Just watching the supervisor wink, the old supervisor said helplessly:

"Forget it, the old man will give it a try."

Li Xiangjun was overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to send the "medium" such as the birthday horoscope, hair, and underwear that he had prepared.

A group of people took their seats in the hall. Qin Tianjian raised his thin right hand and pressed it in the air. A phantom astrolabe appeared in the palm of his hand and slowly rotated. People around did not dare to breathe, waiting for the result.

After a while, Qin Tianjian let out a "Huh", as if he was a little surprised.

Immediately afterwards, he performed a horoscope on the medium of the "Eldest Prince", and this time... there was a trace of indecipherable meaning in his eyes.

"Old man, what's the result?" Li Xiangjun leaned forward, unconsciously clenched the corners of his skirt with both hands.

It's just that she didn't have too much hope in her heart, but the next sentence of the kind-hearted old star official in front of her eyes brightened her eyes:
"If the old man's impression is good, Patriarch Pei is in the south of Yuhang City at this moment, to the southeast, within ten miles or five miles away, there is a land related to the Pei family."

After a pause, the old prisoner hesitated and said, "As for your young master's whereabouts, the revelation from the starry sky is vague and cannot be located."

Really have results? !
On Li Xiangjun's charming round face, first he was amazed, and then he burst into joy: "How sure is the old man?!"

Qin Tianjian laughed, stroked his beard and said:
"How can we be sure about the science of spying on fate? It's just a corner of it. It's just that the old man sees it. The master of the Pei family is shrouded in black clouds and is at stake. If Madam wants to find it, she must do it as soon as possible."

At stake? !
Li Xiangjun's face paled, his joy faded away, how dare he delay?

Immediately thanked, and ordered someone to present a thank you gift, but I didn't have time to obey the etiquette, lifted the hem of my skirt to leave, and hurried out.

Although the whereabouts of the eldest son is still unknown, it is better to find her husband first.

As for the specific location, after hearing the description, Li Xiangjun already had a name in his mind: "Half Moon Villa".

Why did the husband appear in that humble farm of his own?And at stake?
Li Xiangjun couldn't figure it out, but she still made a decisive decision. After walking out of the gate of the academy, she immediately said to the guards:

"The two of you quickly rode your horses and went to Kill the Demon Division to find the leader of the Ye Division. You said that my Patriarch Pei is in Banyue Villa, and the government should rush to help you immediately."

"Yes!" The two cronies responded.

Li Xiangjun chose two more people: "Hurry back to the mansion and call the masters of the family to rush here."

"As ordered!"

In the blink of an eye, the iron hooves of the four thousand-mile horses flew, pulling out a stream of smoke and dust in the night.

Li Xiangjun got into the carriage, commanded in a deep voice, "Go back to the house", and then leaned on the cushion, his towering chest rose and fell violently, and his fingers were tightly clenched, showing the uneasiness in the beautiful woman's heart.

……

……

On the Qinhuai River.

Ji Pingan was holding the square lantern, and when he saw the cartoon pattern drawn with simple strokes, his whole body seemed to be whipped by an invisible whip.

In my mind, memories of the past are churning.

Of course he will never forget, more than 200 years ago, the night when he walked the mortal world, rowed a boat with that innocent girl as a Taoist priest, and exiled the river lantern.

I will never forget the curiosity and bewilderment in her eyes when she drew a doraemon in front of the latter because of her playfulness.

But after hundreds of years, I once again saw a familiar pattern on the Qinhuai River, and I was about to figure out what it meant.

In the chest cavity, the heart was beating slightly rapidly. Ji Pingan held the lantern and turned his head to look in the direction it floated. In his eyes, there was a long embankment full of people. Who knows how far the lantern drifted?
Who was exiled again?
He immediately performed astrology and used the "festival lantern" as a medium to carry out divination deduction.

However, what surprised him, and what was not surprising, was that the invincible astrology failed and was obscured and affected by an invisible force.

"Sure enough... still can't do it." Ji Pingan was stunned, and then smiled wryly.

From Zhu Xun's incident and the case of Pei's father and son, he vaguely guessed that the "star fragments" carried by the "reborn" might have the ability to conceal divination.

But it is not without gains, at least, this further shows that the person who drew the lantern is very likely to be a "reborn person".

Back then, that woman who made me regret for so many years...has she really come back?This guess has been lingering in his mind for a long time, but he is not sure.

In the dead of night, he also imagined that one day he would reunite with his old friends.

But he never expected to get her clues in this way.

"That's right, I should have thought of it a long time ago. If she is reborn, she will definitely find a way to return to the Royal Beast Sect, and she will definitely come to Lanzhou... And based on self-protection, she must hide to understand the situation, so Yuhang is the best choose."

Holding the lantern in his arms, Ji Pingan felt the urge to go ashore to look for it.

But rationality told him that without the assistance of "divination", it would be as difficult as climbing the sky to find her who had changed her appearance from the vast crowd.

"Wait a little longer, and settle the matter at hand first." Ji Pingan took a deep breath, calmed down the chaotic emotions, and became calm and wise again.

As soon as he raised his hand, he put the lantern into the scripture.

Then he dived into the water again, sneaked into the location of the "organ puppet", and sank all the way to the bottom of the river, only to find that Iron Knot was sitting cross-legged in the mud at the bottom of the river. After a day and night of recovery, he had returned to his peak state.

Ji Pingan put his hand on his shoulder, put the puppet away, and then continued to escape and returned to Laoliu Street.

When he opened the door and entered the small courtyard, he saw three people sitting at the table, and they had already finished their dinner. Huang He was putting some of the food in a bowl, and when he saw him coming back, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile:
"My son is back, and I still want to leave a meal alone, which happens to be enough to eat."

Ji Pingan's eyes fell on the other two women.

Mu Yaoyao was seen paralyzed on the seat, rubbing her bulging belly.

Yu Yu, on the other hand, looked sullen. When he saw him standing up abruptly, he was about to go back to the house—the saintess had been busy all day, and it was not without fruit.

She successfully tracked down a "curse killing" case, and keenly realized that this matter was very involved.

However, with the lessons learned from the previous Four Sages and the Pei family, Yu Yu decided not to speak out until he really gained something, in order to avoid being slapped in the face by this little star official.

At the same time, in order to prevent Ji Pingan from "plagiarizing" her, she purposely acted sullen, as if she hadn't gained anything at all, so as to lower the vigilance of the other party.

Well, the saint felt that her plan was perfect. When she turned around, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she gave herself a big praise in her heart.

"Don't rest yet, just finished eating, pack up and go with me." Ji Pingan said.

Yu Yu paused, turned around and asked suspiciously, "Let's go?"

She clenched her fists tightly, feeling something was wrong.

Huang He and Mu Yaoyao looked over purely out of curiosity, only to hear Ji Pingan say lightly:

"Recently there has been a murder case in the city, which is suspected to involve a reborn person, and it is related to Pei's case. After my investigation, I have found the hiding place of the person behind the scenes, but considering that the other party's cultivation level may not be low, come here Looking for you to go together."

Huang He and Mu Yaoyao looked surprised, and at the same time showed expressions of eagerness to try, they only felt that Ji Ping'an was really amazing.

During these days, almost every day has been harvested, and the efficiency is simply frighteningly high.

For the two who are free to come out, fighting is obviously an attractive thing.

"I'll go get ready now." Huang He put down his job, turned his head and walked into the room.

"I'm going too!" Mu Yaoyao jumped down to the ground, yelling with her belly sticking out, then suddenly turned her head to look at Yu Yu suspiciously:

"Senior Sister Yu, are you okay? Don't be unhappy. Although you failed to find the clue, wouldn't it be better to send it to your door now?"

Get lost... Yu Yu only had this thought in her mind, her delicate face was like dried salted fish, her eyes were empty and powerless.

Obviously he was already keeping a low profile, why did the slap in the face come so fast?
She doesn't understand.

Ji Pingan watched the saint with great interest, but honestly went back to the house to get the weapon. He shook his head and smiled, then stopped his smile and went back to his room.

Raise your hand.

With a sound of "boom", the rusty box fell to the ground again and opened by itself.

Although the puppet inside has been taken out, there is still a long and thin object wrapped in yellow sticky in the corner of the box.

Ji Pingan raised his hand to take a picture, with a nostalgic look in his eyes.

……

……

When Ye Hongling rode a pitch-black horse and led a group of dejected officials back to the Yamen of the Demon Slaying Department, her pretty face was full of melancholy.

Last night, after receiving the guidance from the mysterious strong man, she thought she had a chance to win, so she stayed up all night to piece together various materials, constantly narrowing the scope, and doing elimination methods.

Supplemented by intelligence collection, it was finally difficult to locate the target residence.

I thought the fruit of victory was close at hand, but I didn't want to rush to nothing, the murderer had already gone to the building.

This made the female warrior feel a great sense of frustration, and even a little ashamed:

"If that person comes again next time, wouldn't the boss be ashamed?"

It can only be said that her focus is indeed a bit crooked.

"Order, everyone will work overtime tonight, use that house as a clue, visit and investigate overnight, and we must dig out that thief!" Ye Hongling slapped the table, and the cloak behind her trembled.

The group of officials below did not dare to take a breath, and complained in their hearts, so they could only bite the bullet and agree.

In Yuhang City, the policemen of the other yamen are very envious of the demon slayers. They think that this group of people not only pays well, has a high status, but also follows a boss with outstanding appearance and figure, but the demon slayers just want to complain.

Although the remuneration is good, the workload is also heavy. As for Chief Ye, he dare not even look at him, let alone admire him.

Just when the atmosphere was sluggish, suddenly, the sound of messy footsteps came from outside.

Ye Hongling raised her head and pierced her eyes: "What's going on? You're in a panic?"

The officer panted, cupped his hands and said:
"Report to the chief, the Pei family has come, claiming that they have found the whereabouts of Patriarch Pei, please send someone to help."

"What?" Ye Hongling was startled, and said with a serious expression, "Where is the person?"

"Half Moon Villa outside the city."

Ye Hongling's eyes flickered, she grabbed the black gold scabbard, and said sharply:
"Everyone, get on your horse and follow me out of the city!"

Not to mention that with Pei's status, the Demon Slayer will not delay, even from the perspective of investigation, Ye Hongling also realized that this case is not simple, and may be involved in many recent events.

"Yes!"

Not long after, Ye Hongling rode in the lead, cloaked around, and led a group of officials roaring out of the city, attracting the attention of the people along the way.

I don't know where the group of living kings who have been dispatched frequently recently are going.

……

Inside Pei's mansion.

As the news came back, first a group of masters came out after hearing the news, and then even Pei Qian, who was in retreat, was alarmed.

"Tie Sha, are the horses ready?" Pushing open the door, the third son, Pei Qian, was dressed in military uniform, holding a long sword, with a serious expression.

It seems like a posture about to go out.

The guard Tie Sha came towards him, hesitatingly said:

"Third Young Master, I will wait for the guards in the mansion to rush over to this matter. You can stay at home with Second Miss and wait for the news."

"What? What is this?" Pei Qian was filled with indignation:
"Father and eldest brother are missing. I am the pillar of Pei's long house. How can I stay in the mansion? Besides, I am a figure on the Qianlong list, and I have reached the last place in the grand prize. Don't treat me like I used to be." .”

Tie Sha hesitated to speak, and wanted to say that you don't have any comprehension in your heart.

The Qianlong list is for the face of our Pei family in Tianji Pavilion, and the so-called "hidden dragon" refers to "potential", not actual combat power.

As for the Great Reward from the Gods... let's not talk about it.

"Tie Sha, he's going, let him go." Suddenly, Pei Qiuwei, who was elegant and sweet in the corridor in the distance, came over.

"Second Miss!" Tie Sha cupped his fists and saluted.

Pei Qiuwei's face is serious at the moment, although she has not yet left the cabinet, but at this moment, before Li Xiangjun returns, she has become the talker of the long house, and her aura has increased several levels.

She looked at Pei Qian who was wearing soft armor and holding a long sword, her eyes were soft at first, then firm:
"If you want to, then go. Take advantage of your mother's absence. I, Erlang Pei, always have to grow up. I can't become a flower in a greenhouse as the national teacher once said."

As Pei Qian is the youngest, although Li Xiangjun often rolls his eyes angrily, he is still very precious.

He thought he was too young to take risks for him, and the last time he went to Beijing for training, it was still the head of the family who made the decision.

Pei Qian's spirits were greatly lifted, and he was encouraged, so he puffed up his chest and said:
"Second sister, don't worry, I will definitely bring my father back today. If I can't do it, I will accept the punishment and copy the books by your bedside three hundred times!"

"..." Pei Qiuwei showed a bit of embarrassment, and said:

"It's not necessary..."

After a few words of encouragement, Pei Qianxiong left the mansion with iron sand, and with a large group of warriors leaving the city, worry finally appeared on the face of the number one talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River.

Stepping back to the front hall, I saw a weak woman in white clothes, walking with the help of a maid.

Xu Yuanyun coughed and asked curiously, "Did something happen?"

Pei Qiuwei looked at his sister and forced a smile:
"No big deal."

Xu Yuanyun looked suspicious.

……

……

In the southeast of Yuhang City, the farther away from the city, the fewer lights on the land. Compared with the bustling Qinhuai River, the quiet village after nightfall is the theme of this world.

And near the large farms, a manor standing at the foot of the mountain is particularly eye-catching.

Inside the Banyue Mountain Villa, there are scattered buildings standing there. Because every summer, members of the Pei clan occasionally come here to escape the summer heat, so the scenery in the villa is quite elegant.

Although the house is not as good as the main house, it is quite large.

At this moment, under the back house of the villa, a small basement has been transformed into a dungeon.

On both sides of the narrow and long corridor, in the dug-out storage rooms, men, women and children were imprisoned. If you look carefully, you will find that some of them are the caretakers who were originally left in the village.

For the rest, the men and women who were caught from nowhere were all dumbfounded, as if their sanity had been damaged.

"Dangdang!"

Suddenly, the "prison door" was opened, and in the dark dungeon, a figure came in from the darkness little by little.

He was wearing a satin blouse, his steps were steady and powerful, his hands were on his waist, and a red rope was wrapped between his fingers.

And at the end of the red rope, hung a scarecrow the size of a palm, with a hideous and strange appearance, and a yellow paper amulet on the top of the head, which flickered as the man walked.

Along the way, the arrested men and women raised their heads in confusion, some were frightened and retreated to the corner, and some did not respond at all.

There were also a few beautiful women whose clothes were stripped off and they were lying on the ground like corpses. They could only move their eyes when they heard the movement, and their bodies twitched due to fear, but they couldn't move.

"Da da da……"

However, that figure ignored these people today and went straight to the end of the cell.

There is a simple "prison cell" that has been transformed here, with a brazier outside and straw inside.

In the prison cell, a burly middle-aged man sat cross-legged, with disheveled hair, scars, and weak breath. His hands and feet were bound by thick iron chains, but he still maintained a meditation posture, showing his original identity.

"clatter."

The sound of footsteps stopped at the door of the cell, and the light from the brazier dispelled the darkness, revealing a handsome and tall young man in his twenties, who hooked the finger of the cursed scarecrow, and raised a strange arc at the corner of his mouth:

"My... my lord father, how do you feel today."

The Patriarch of the Pei family with disheveled hair, Pei Wei raised his eyes, stared coldly and weakly at the "eldest son" in front of him, and said:

"You are not dead yet, how can I take a step first?"

"Ha!" The eldest son of the Pei family made a mocking "ha", looked down at Pei Wei, and said:
"The cultivation base is not very good, but the mouth is quite hard."

Pei Wei stared at him: "I only hate that I realized something was wrong at the time, and I failed to make a thunderous move, capture him, and avenge my son."

The eldest son of the Pei family said displeasedly:

"Ben San people don't like to be blamed the most. How many times have I said that your son rushed in by himself and killed himself. It has nothing to do with me. But I really want to thank him for providing this body. Although Po Qi's cultivation is still too high It's weak, but it's okay... at least the foundation is good, otherwise, it will be troublesome to start from scratch step by step."

After a pause, he sighed and said:

"As for being reduced to this point, it's not your fault? If you don't notice anything, I don't mind having multiple 'fathers'. The left and right are just names, and you can still inherit the big family of the Pei family...

I heard, you still have a talented woman?Maybe I can also continue to play... However, I am still interested in women, hey, using your son's body to play with your beautiful wife, I don't know what it's like, it's not interesting, maybe she Also enjoyed the…”

Pei Wei's eyes were about to burst, and he stood up abruptly:
"The thief dares you!!"

Takeo Sijing threw a punch towards the outside of the prison, but as the latter hooked his fingers, the talisman paper above the scarecrow's head flickered.

Pei Wei let out a cry of pain, as if he had hit an electric grid, he fell down, feeling being beaten by an invisible whip, and blood spattered.

And at this time, he could see that his chest and abdomen were also pierced by a chain.

This is a method handed down from ancient times. Locking a monk's pipa bone can imprison his cultivation.

"Eldest Prince Pei" overlooked the latter rolling like a defeated dog, with a look of complacency on his face, he stopped cursing after a while, looked at Pei Wei who was lying on the ground, gasping for breath, and said lightly:

"I don't have time to play with you, old guy. I was thinking of swallowing you again in a few days, but unfortunately...now that Yuhang City is deep in water, I don't know how many powerful dragons are hidden. I am a Sanren and I have to be careful. Fortunately, the harvest I bought dozens of souls, barely enough.

Cooperating with my formation, I should be able to draw out all your skills. After swallowing your spiritual essence, I will almost be able to advance to Sijing...

When the time comes when you have confidence, you can wear this skin and swagger, go back to your Pei family, and see if your wife and daughter are as beautiful as the rumors, and if they are thrown on the bed, are they still ladies? "

"I'll kill you..." Pei Wei struggled, but the tiger fell flat.

He could only watch desperately and angrily as the latter took out all the materials for casting spells and threw them in various places in the cell according to their directions.

He opened his mouth again and spit out illusory faces, which were all the people who had been cursed and killed by him these days.

Every remnant soul is dull and dazed, crowded in the cell.

If Ji Pingan was here, he would definitely recognize it at a glance. This is some kind of ancient magic formation, which can extract the cultivation base of the strong and transfer it to himself.

However, the requirements are extremely strict, and the materials for casting spells are relatively good. The key is that the people to be drawn should preferably have a blood relationship with themselves.

"If it weren't for this, how could I have kept you alive until now?"

The eldest son muttered, wrapped the scarecrow with a red rope, threw it into the formation, and held the other end of the red rope with his fingers.

Reciting the mantra silently, urging the formation to operate, at the cost of consuming those remnant souls, began to flow continuously, extracting cultivation bases from Pei Wei's body and pouring them into himself.

"Die with peace of mind, I will inherit everything from you, cultivation, power, wealth, wife and daughter...and lead Pei to a higher level..."

……

……

Outside the Half Moon Villa.

The soil suddenly bulged, sending four figures out.

Yu Yu has regained his fighting spirit, and now he has changed into night clothes, covered with a veil, and a red sword rope is gently swinging on his wrist:
"It's right in front? What should we do? Go straight in?"

Huang He, who was also wearing night clothes, held the knife and said hesitantly:

"To be on the safe side, let's figure out the situation first."

Mu Yaoyao wrapped herself into a small briquette, and nodded vigorously upon hearing this.

Yu Yu curled his lips, raised his snow-white chin, hummed, and said:

"A group of cowards, isn't it just a sneaky mantra chanting behind the scenes, this saint alone is enough to sweep them away."

Ji Pingan, who was holding the "Mountain Scepter", ignored the three companions, flipped his free left hand, took out a mottled and old octagonal astrolabe, and started divination.

In order to avoid being disturbed, he only divined the fate of himself and the three of them this time.

As the star map was outlined and flickered, scenes of fragmented pictures flooded into his mind.
