Chapter 74

"May I ask which expert has arrived?"

Qi Jingzhi just leaped to the top of Yuji Ridge, before his feet landed, he heard someone asking loudly.

There are people on the top of this mountain!

Qi Jingzhi was shocked in his heart, and while standing still, he looked around intently, taking a panoramic view of the scene in front of him.

The most eye-catching thing is a narrow and low temple, which occupies most of the small place on the top of the mountain.

The small temple sits west and faces east. The gate of the temple is facing the direction when he came. The north and south walls are close to the cliffs on both sides of the peak, leaving no gap. Can pass through the temple.

On the only small open space left in front of the temple gate, several people were either sitting or standing, faintly divided into north and south groups.

Under a dead tree on the south side, a Taoist priest in black cassock stood alone with his back against the tree trunk.

This Taoist priest was only at the age of crowning, and his appearance was extremely ordinary, with a gloomy and cold temperament on his body, and his eyes were as sharp as hooks.

The question just now came from the three people on the north side. Qi Jingzhi's eyes were everywhere, and he saw that the leader was a big fat man with a rather bloated body.

Seeing Qi Jingzhi look over, the big fat man immediately grinned, his eyes narrowed until there were only two slits left.

Qi Jingzhi took advantage of the situation to look at the other party, and saw that he was probably in his early thirties, full of aura of wealth, the hat on his head was made of ruby, the clothes on his body were made of emerald green satin, warm jade pendants around his waist, gold thread sachets, etc. , was shaking an ivory folding fan vigorously in his hand, the big gold ring on his finger was very conspicuous, he was definitely a rich man with a lot of money.

It's just that this one looks really embarrassed at the moment, his satin clothes are scratched in several places, his face is already covered with a lot of dirt, and he was washed by the non-stop sweat, looking black and white.

That's all, his fat body is being pressed on a mahogany pony with aggrievedness, as long as his body moves slightly, he can hear the creaking sound.

There are two people standing behind the fat rich man, a middle-aged man and a young man, both of them are neatly dressed and armed with weapons, probably guards or something.

Such a person was supposed to enjoy wealth and honor outside the mountains, and it really didn't seem like he was willing to suffer such a crime.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Thinking of the fat rich man's question just now, Qi Jingzhi murmured in his heart, but a bright smile returned on his face: "I am not some expert, I am just a hunter living in the mountains. I am here to worship God and offer incense. What a pious heart! It’s just that the mountain temple on Yuji Ridge has been abandoned for many years, where is there any efficacies?”

Hearing this, the fat man panted heavily, and waved his hands with a smile: "Sincerity...sincerity makes spirit!"

"Hmph! Those who can stand here at this time, why did they come here? Which one is not clear-eyed? One or two are really hypocritical!"

The young black-clothed Taoist priest standing alone under the dead tree on the south side suddenly spoke, the disdain in his words was undisguised.

Qi Jingzhi turned his head to look, just now he was only focused on answering, he didn't have time to look at this person carefully, now he saw that he had nothing on his body, and the black cassock he was wearing was made of coarse cloth, he didn't look like a rich man.

Seeing the boy looking over, the young Taoist priest in black showed a sneering smile at the corner of his mouth. He turned his head and looked away, squinted at the fat man and said, "The one who just came is still young and has a good figure. You fat Do you dare to wishful thinking?"

Qi Jingzhi looked away from the Taoist priest calmly, but he became more and more puzzled.

The two groups of people in front of the temple appeared in this place where nothing shits like shit. They obviously had plans, and they knew each other tacitly, but they didn't seem to be familiar with each other. Even the young Taoist priest in black was vaguely hostile to other people. It's really weird.

Regarding the Taoist's sarcasm, the fat man seemed to have never heard of it, and he still smiled very kindly: "The little brother just laughed loudly and shook the mountains and fields, and he was no different from the cranes that went straight into the sky in the mountains and forests. How could he be just a hunter! My lord The surname is Jin, and the humble house is in the neighboring county, I don’t know the name of my little brother, Gao, where is the fairy town?"

As soon as he said this, the middle-aged guard behind him immediately lowered his head and listened to his ears, and said in a low voice: "Member, the crane cry should also be made by this person. The breath is fierce and long, and he is definitely a master!"

Even when he was talking, the middle-aged guard still stared at Qi Jingzhi with his deep eyes.Only now did he see clearly that the boy in front of him almost flew up from the bottom of the mountain!

Qi Jingzhi just pretended not to see it. The situation is not clear at the moment, and it is not a good way to see it. Before you really figure it out, you should be more cautious, so as not to make enemies with people inexplicably.

"I climbed to the top first, and I am young. In the eyes of these people, I am alone and alone. Once I miss the bottom, it will be seen that I am not in the same way as them. It is hard to guarantee that the other party will not have the idea of ​​silence."

"This member of the Jin family is quite interested in talking, so you might as well talk about it first, if the two groups of people have nothing to do with the pillow theft and corpse transformation cases, wait until the old and the young come up and talk about it, and don't do it if you can. Time is running out now, but there is no time to wade into this irrelevant muddy water!"

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi immediately took two steps forward, with a smile on his face, he said half-truthfully: "My family is in Huaide County, and I just came to the county for business these few days. In the neighboring county, they arrived even faster than me!"

Seeing that the young man refused to reveal his name, Jin Yuanwai did not show dissatisfaction at all. Instead, he waved his fleshy, white and tender palms, and his tone became more and more enthusiastic: "This year's grand meeting has already been held, who would have thought that it would suddenly be held again?" Have a game?"

"Fortunately, when the saint passed through this county, the fairy servant in white happened to come to the inn opened by my house to feed the cows. That's why I got the news in advance and came here quickly, otherwise I couldn't go as fast as my little brother."

When it came to the word saint, Jin Yuanwai's fat face showed an undisguised obsession, and his tone was even more gentle: "It is said that this saint is the youngest daughter of Empress Baixian, who is the most beloved However, because I will be an adult soon, in order to accumulate blessings for myself, I specially asked for grace for us in front of the empress."

"Holy maiden...the fairy servant in white...feed the cow...there is also a white fairy lady."

Qi Jingzhi secretly chewed these few words, only to feel that the matter became more and more confusing, and he was not at all in a hurry to leave.

Hearing the young black-clothed Taoist priest under the dead tree on the other side snorted, his tone was still not kind: "Even if there is an additional puja, it will just change this year's quota from one to two. What year and month can I be selected!"

"Different!"

Jin Yuanwai immediately shook his head: "I heard from the fairy attendant that starting next year, the Holy Maiden will establish her own ashram, and this quota will be increased by one every year! As for this time, because it was a temporary request from the empress, The time and location of the Dharma conference are all based on fate, and they have never been publicized with great fanfare. Whether you can come before the altar is up depends entirely on your luck!"

Hearing this, the young black-clothed Taoist immediately beamed with joy: "Is this really true? Wouldn't the chances of this puja be greatly increased?"

As soon as he spoke, his face suddenly darkened again, and the eyes he looked at everyone present became more and more sinister.

"Isn't that the case! This is the compassion and holiness of the saint!"

Jin Yuanwai didn't seem to mind the Taoist priest's obvious hostile attitude, but his face was full of fascination: "Speaking of the holy face of the empress, it is already dignified and charming, with a fairy appearance, and I am honored to stand under the immortal platform I've paid my respects several times, and I can't help but be amazed, I can't imagine that the demeanor of the saint is not inferior to the empress!"

"I only took a look at it from a distance that day, but my body is still flaky up to now. I didn't hold on firmly when I went up the mountain, and almost fell to the bottom of the cliff!"

As soon as these words came out, the young Taoist priest in black immediately showed disdain, and his hostility towards Yuanwai Jin also faded a bit.

"Presumptuous! The empress and the saint are also things you can judge?"

Suddenly, there was a shout full of anger from the mountain temple.

Jin Yuanwai's face changed drastically in an instant, the pony under his buttocks tilted, and he rolled to the ground.
