Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 81 The Prophet (Thanks to the Flying Red Scarf for the tip)
As soon as it got dark, fog rose in Tangkou Town. There were not many people on the street now. The thin layer of fog seemed like a dream lying beside the town.

There were two red lanterns hanging at the entrance of the county government office, which looked like a pair of eyes of a monster from a distance.

Qin Feng and Lian Gouqie rode on their horses, slowly passing through the humid night of Tangkou Town, their hearts heavy with worries.

County Magistrate Cheng naturally would not send the invitation to an orphan and a mute girl, so Wei Xi got the task of inquiring.

The three of them discussed it, went into the county government office, and sat down for dinner. Qin Feng used the excuse of being drunk to meet up with Wei Xi in case Wei Xi encountered any trouble and couldn't protect himself.

Although I was going to a banquet, my mood was no different from attending a funeral.

If County Magistrate Cheng could really be buried, they might be happier.

The two of them walked in silence all the way to the county government office. The two red lights were even more eye-catching, shining on the two guards holding the reins as if their faces were wiped with red paper.
The steward came over and bowed, "The two immortal masters are finally here. The county magistrate has been waiting! Come with me!"

To be honest, it was quite new. It was my first time entering the county government office through the main gate.

Wei Xi couldn't enjoy this novelty. This time, she didn't dare to climb over from behind, after all, she had that incident that afternoon. Fortunately, Wei Xi was a cultivator, and she had cast a tracking spell on Qin Feng's horse. When the tracking position was roughly unchanged, Wei Xi mentally counted a hundred, threw out her flying claw, and began to climb the wall again.

There were not many people in the stable. The guards were probably patrolling somewhere else. Wei Xi put away his flying claws and began to feel inside.

To facilitate the transfer of officials, the state of Ju built county and prefectural yamen in one location, with the official residence and residence coexisting in a single building. Small courtyards were also built around the yamen for the officials to live in. Therefore, the stables in the yamen were located in the front courtyard, separate from the backyard where officials and their families lived.

There was no strange white cloth in the front yard, so Wei Xi breathed a sigh of relief and ran as quickly as possible to find the group of Hu people hiding in the county government office.

Lingyin's furry head appeared in Wei Xi's arms, and her claws were tightly grasping Wei Xi's clothes.

Perhaps because of its high functionality, there wasn't even a tree or flower in the front yard to conceal one's tracks. Wei Xi could only be cautious and walk along the wall, fearing that he would bump into the guards and soldiers.

There were not many candles lit in the county government office, which was convenient for Wei Xi. The banquet hall was brightly lit, but Wei Xi did not dare to approach easily.

At the critical moment, Wei Xi used her little brain. Qin Feng once said that she saw some Hu people mixed in with the guards in the courtyard, so she could keep an eye on the guards and patrolling soldiers.

But this is not only risky, but it also requires finding the right person to make it work.

Wei Xi headed towards the toilet decisively. People have urgent needs and no one can run away. Whether it was the guards who were changing shifts or the Hu people hiding in the county government office, there was a possibility that they would run into them in the toilet.

To be honest, it was easy to find. It was one of the few places with candlelight, and the taste was far worse than that of the kitchen.

On the way to the toilet, Wei Xi avoided a team of patrolling guards, but the guards were careless, so Wei Xi hid in the dark corner without moving, and they did not come to check.

Wei Xi found the toilet without incident. The county government was quite particular, with a row of five or six pits separated by sheds. Unfortunately, it was summer, so the smell was a bit strong. This was also because there were a lot of strong-smelling flowers growing nearby, trying to mask the odor. The mixture of the smells made Wei Xi feel like his head was being washed away.

Wei Xi, feeling dizzy and disoriented, quickly went into a cubicle and waited, hoping to escape from this haunted place as soon as possible.

Damn it! Wei Xi raised the triangular scarf to her eyes and thought, I will never do such hard work again. Lian Gou is good, this kind of work is perfect for him! Wei Xi's eyes hurt from the smoke. Just as she was wondering whether to give up this method, she heard several people shouting, and she hurried to listen.

"It's time to pee! It's time to pee! Damn it, I've been holding my pee for so long!"

Wei Xi heard several people approaching, accompanied by the sound of swords clashing. He also felt the compartment next to him being opened, accompanied by the sound of water flowing. Someone said, "We are busy offering sacrifices to the river, why are we inviting people to dinner again?"

"They say they are two immortal cultivators. They are not like those people who just scare people with knives and leave. If they really can't do it, they will cut their necks and throw them in."

Wei Xi understood what Sun Ji said about the sharp decline in population in Tangkou Town, which was closely related to County Magistrate Cheng.

Before the man finished speaking, another person with a more mature voice said, "Don't be so nosy when you're drunk! It's none of our business to say anything about who the county magistrate invites for dinner!"

After saying this, the man fell silent. The first person to speak up tried to smooth things over, saying, "Captain, you're right. We just have to listen to the county magistrate. We'll get our share of the gold every year!"

Wei Xi felt quite regretful. These three people seemed to know more than the two people who were fooled by him. It was a pity that they all kept silent now.

"Huh? Why aren't we seeing anyone from that caravan?"

"That guy is a sneaky guy. He said he had a stomachache while on patrol. I guess he ran off to hide somewhere."

Wei Xi's heart tightened, and the next second he heard the man laugh, "I saw him! He's squatting in the room next to me!"

Wei Xi looked at his feet in horror, holding his breath, his mind racing, trying to think of a way to escape.

Fortunately, the man was really drunk and didn't notice that the ankles of an eleven-year-old girl from Weixi were different from those of the Hu people who were as big as hills. The man knocked on the wall twice and said jokingly, "Brother, I didn't see you drinking, but you crawled into the toilet and refused to come out!"

Wei Xi didn't dare to reply. She really didn't want to be caught in the toilet. But the man didn't want Wei Xi to answer. He fastened his belt and kept talking. "We'll go first and go back to the room to heat up some wine. When you come out, come to our place and have a few drinks and chat!"

Wei Xi heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that those people had left. This time, she had made a mistake and had no way to retreat hiding in such a place. However, this also gave her an opportunity to follow these people. It would be best if the group of Hu people were with them. If not, then it would depend on Qin Feng and the others.

Wei Xi hurried out of the compartment and prepared to chase those people. This place was full of lush vegetation, and if he was any later, he would really lose sight of those people.

At this time, the fog was heavier. As soon as he moved away from the toilet, he could smell the unpleasant smell in the fog again. Wei Xi didn't want to think about what the smell was. After all, it was the fault of County Magistrate Cheng.

Following those people, Wei Xi found a courtyard. This courtyard was sandwiched between the front yard and the back yard. The low courtyard wall seemed to be where the guards and soldiers of the county government lived.

Wei Xi couldn't walk in so arrogantly, and just as he was trying to think of a way out, he was hit on the shoulder and neck and fainted.

Yes, she was that unlucky.
