Catching Monsters

Chapter 45 Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth

Qian Buchou in the room heard Xu Suwen say this and shook his head repeatedly: "Master Xu, this is not a problem that can be solved by running away or not."

"Run away and hide, change your name, at least there is still a way to survive."

"If you don't run away and get found, you'll be dead."

As he spoke, Qian Buchou felt around his body and pulled out thirty taels of silver. He felt a little pain, but he still gritted his teeth, handed it to Jiang Yun, and said, "Here are thirty taels of silver."

"Add to that the eighty taels of silver you took from me before, it will be enough for you two to use for a long time."

Xu Suwen next to him reminded: "Jiang Yun, you have to think carefully. Once you escape, the crime of murdering Prince Su will be confirmed."

"There are only eight princes in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The court will definitely investigate thoroughly. It will be useless for you to hide at the ends of the earth."

"We, the Jinyiwei, have plenty of ways to find you, but you will eventually die."

Hearing Xu Suwen's words, Jiang Yun did not reach out to take the silver, but turned back: "Miss Xu, do you have a way to clear me of suspicion?"

Qian Buchou, who was originally anxious, also had his eyes brightened and patted his forehead: "Yes, yes, yes, look at me, I was frightened by this news, but I forgot that Lord Xu and the other two are Jinyiwei."

"If you two adults testify..."

Hearing this, Xu Xiaogang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, sister, we two can come forward to guarantee it, maybe."

Xu Suwen shook his head and said, "Prince Su's death is a serious matter. What's the point of just two Jinyiwei guaranteeing it?"

"Will Prince Su's Mansion let Jiang Yun go? You think the problem is too simple."

Jiang Yun pondered for a moment and said, "I still have to escape. If I am discovered, the Su Palace will not give me a chance to explain. Besides, there is no point in explaining."

Xu Suwen frowned and said, "If you run away, you will definitely die. If you stay, you have a chance of survival."

Jiang Yun asked: "Miss Xu, you have to tell me where the hope is."

"Captain Qian, please step aside for a moment." Xu Suwen said to Qian Buchou with a smile.

"Of course, you guys chat." Qian Buchou smiled awkwardly and left the room.

Xu Suwen asked in a deep voice: "Jiang Yun, have you heard of Tianqing Temple?"

Tianqing Temple?
Jiang Yun shook his head without hesitation.

Afterwards, Xu Suwen said in a deep voice: "Back then, in Tianqing Temple, there was a third-rank great celestial master who reincarnated..."

After hearing this, Jiang Yun was stunned and looked at Xu Suwen in surprise.

It seems that Xu Suwen thinks that he is the reincarnated great master?
Although he was indeed a heavenly master in his previous life, that was not wrong.

but……

"Miss Xu, what you mean is that you sent a letter to Tianqing Temple?" Jiang Yun asked in a low voice.

"That's right." Xu Suwen nodded slightly: "If you are really the reincarnation of that Heavenly Master, the Taoist priests of Tianqing Temple will know how to tell the difference."

Hearing this, Jiang Yun felt a little relieved. According to Xu Suwen, he really couldn't escape.

Otherwise, the end result will be that the Jinyiwei will hunt you down everywhere.

There are countless masters like Xu Suwen and Xu Xiaogang in the Jinyiwei.

It was useless for Jiang Qiaoqiao and I to escape anywhere.

Stay in Nanzhou Prefecture and just wait for the Taoist priest from Tianqing Temple to arrive.

"Okay, I'll stay." Jiang Yun nodded heavily, then looked at the next room with some concern, at Jiang Qiaoqiao who knew nothing about these things.

He said, "Miss Xu, I want to ask you for one more favor. If anything happens to me, I hope you can help take care of Qiaoqiao."

Xu Xiaogang glared at Jiang Yun and said, "Brother-in-law, what you said is really too polite..."

Xu Suwen kicked Xu Xiaogang on the butt again.

He rubbed his buttocks, a little aggrieved: "In our day and age, it's not okay to tell the truth."

Soon, Qian Buchou entered the room and learned of Jiang Yun's decision.

“I’m not leaving…” Qian Buchou took a deep breath, nodded, and said, “Then Brother Jiang, don’t leave Nanmanju during this period of time.”

"Nanmanju is a business opened by our government office, and those who live on the third floor are all distinguished guests."

"Even if we want to search, I'm afraid we have to wait until the end."

"For the time being, it's still safe." Jiang Yun clasped his fists and said gratefully, "Thank you, Captain Qian."

"Look at what you said. Although I, Old Qian, like money, I value friendship more. We have a friendship worth life." Qian Buchou smiled.

"Okay, I'm going to get busy. I still have to catch you everywhere."

After saying this, Qian Buchou hurried downstairs and left.

Looking at Qian Buchou's back, Xu Xiaogang said calmly, "This person is worth making friends with."

Xu Suwen smiled when he heard this, but did not deny it. He just said, "He is very smart. What good can he get from arresting Jiang Yun?"

"At most the palace will give a little reward."

"This money will have to be divided among several masters of Nanzhou Prefecture. When it reaches him, there won't be much left."

"He knows it very well."

Jiang Yun didn't mind this. A gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart.

Soon, Jiang Yun asked, "Miss Xu, could you please buy some things for me?"

"Hey, brother-in-law, tell me what you want to buy." Xu Xiaogang smiled.

"Three pounds of gold."

"A piece of southern pear wood."

"A bowl of spotless water."

"Charcoal made from peach blossoms."

"Frozen rare earth."

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "Of course, you can't pay for everything. Just help me get three kilograms of gold. I'll pay for the rest myself."

Xu Suwen looked at Jiang Yun in confusion and asked, "Gold, wood, water, fire, earth? What are you going to do?"

Jiang Yun took a deep breath: "Form a formation and practice."

These things can be formed into a simple cultivation array.

The only downside is that it's expensive.

During the Zhou Dynasty, one tael of gold could be exchanged for ten taels of silver.

One pound of gold costs one hundred taels.

Three catties would cost three hundred taels of silver.

This is an astronomical sum of money.

And this is the most basic foundation of the Five Elements Formation.

Although Xu Xiaogang was from the capital, three hundred taels of silver was not a small sum of money for him.

His eyes moved slightly, and then he laughed: "Don't worry, brother-in-law, I will find a way to get these things."

After saying that, he quickly left. Xu Suwen asked with interest, "Do you still have the time to practice?"

"A living person cannot be suffocated to death by urine." Jiang Yun had a good attitude and said, "It won't hurt to cultivate more magic power to keep myself safe."

It was already dark when Xu Xiaogang came back from outside.

He held a large piece of gold and the things Jiang Yun needed.

"Brother-in-law, see if it can be used." Xu Xiaogang hurriedly placed the things on the table.

Jiang Yun looked at it carefully and nodded: "It's enough, but where did you get so much gold in the middle of the night? A gold shop?"

"How could that be possible? The prefect gave it to me. When my sister and I came to Nanzhou Prefecture, he wanted to give us money every now and then."

"I just came to him and told him that the reason I didn't accept his gifts during this period was because I didn't like money."

"I like gold."
