The Wonderful Way

Chapter 37 The First Entering the Palace
In the imperial palace of Xiyang County, the aged emperor bowed his head and stood in the middle of the main hall with a few important court officials, facing the national teacher and the senior sister of the national teacher sitting in the main hall, reporting the recent visits to the cities of Peiguo. Reported disappearances.

As soon as the three of Chu Miao arrived in Xiyang County, they contacted Pei Jue. After entering the palace, they have been treated by hundreds of people worshiping, which made them feel a little uncomfortable.

Pei Jue has been in the secular world for a long time, and is very used to these common etiquettes.

He was also very polite to Chu Miao and Gu Nianning, and even called his senior sister Mu Xiaodie, who had the same cultivation level as himself, and was very respectful.

After hearing the old emperor's account of the recent disappearance, Chu Miao and the others probably had an idea in their minds.

All the missing boys were residents of nearby cities in Xiyang County. Each time they went missing, they happened at night, and their families never heard anything.

The person who took the boy never harmed his family, but there is still no clue as to where the boy was taken.

Chu Miao saw that after the old emperor finished speaking, he stood in the hall with a respectful look, and wanted him to go back to rest first, and then listen to Pei Jue's thoughts with the others.

But I heard a loud noise caused by a spell coming from outside, accompanied by a somewhat familiar voice, "Bold! Do you know who I am! How dare you stop me!"

As soon as the words fell, two monks from the ninth level of Qi training had arrived in the hall, followed by a few disgraced soldiers, who seemed to want to stop but dared not.

The three of Chu Miao saw that it was the two male cultivators on the flying boat who were talking about this matter.

After the young male cultivated into the palace, he didn't even look at Chu Miao and the others whose cultivation level was two levels higher than his own, and just yelled at the old emperor with a look of resentment: "Where is my brother? Was he taken away or was he taken away?" Killed by those sluts in the harem!"

The old emperor had experienced many years of ups and downs, obviously he would not be intimidated by the young man's aggressiveness, he just looked up at Pei Jue and Chu Miao who were above him and did not answer.

Seeing that neither Chu Miao nor Gu Nianning wanted to interrupt, Pei Jue stood up and said:

"Fellow Daoist, you have something to talk about. Your Majesty doesn't know much about these things. Why don't you sit down and talk to me and the senior sisters first."

The middle-aged male cultivator who entered the palace with the young man also persuaded him: "It is useless to be angry with your father at this time, it is better to listen to the Taoist friend of Tianji Sect first."

The young man listened to his companion's words very much, he gave the emperor a hard look, and didn't follow the rules of cultivating immortals to salute Chu Miao and the others, and went directly to the side table to sit down.

Seeing that he was no longer needed in the hall, the emperor quietly left the hall with the ministers behind him.

The middle-aged man looks very elegant, seeing that Chu Miao and Gu Nianning are both monks of the eleventh level of Qi training, and they are all disciples of the Tianji Sect, first stood up and made a salute to them, and then separated himself and The identities of the young people are revealed one by one.

This middle-aged man is called Mu Qinian, and the young man beside him is his younger brother, Luo Ning, the eleventh prince of Pei Kingdom.

When they were young, their masters saw their spiritual roots outside the palace, so they took them with them to practice.

Luo Ning's mother and concubine were not favored in the palace, since he was taken away by his master, he was taken seriously by the emperor, and his younger brother Luo Hong was born nine years ago.

Since Luo Ning practiced with his master and senior brother, he has been wandering in the world of cultivating immortals, and only returned to the palace once five or six years ago.

As the emperor grew older, the battle for the throne in the palace became more intense.

Luo Hong has no spiritual roots, and because of the emperor's attention, he was also regarded as a thorn in the side of the other concubines and princes in the palace. The mother and concubine of the two also died in the struggle in the harem.

A few days ago, Luo Ning was going back to the palace to visit his mother, concubine and younger brother, when he heard about Xiyang County Xiexiu's kidnapping of a boy on the way, he was very worried.

After returning to the palace, he didn't disturb anyone, and went directly to the palace where his mother, concubine and younger brother lived, and found that there was no one in the palace.

After arresting a few palace people, I found out that my mother and concubine passed away a year ago, and my younger brother also disappeared a few days ago. I don't know whether it was taken away by someone or removed by the people in the palace. .

After Mu Qinian finished speaking, he sighed softly, cupped his hands to Chu Miao and the others, and said, "My junior brother left the secular world since he was a child, and only had contact with me and the master. Fellow Daoists, don’t argue with him.”

Chu Miao didn't take these things to heart at all, she has always been a person who has nothing to do with herself.

It's just a strange monk, as long as they don't offend them, it doesn't matter if their attitude is good or not.

Seeing that Chu Miao and the others were only thinking about their own affairs, Pei Jue could only reply, "It's all right, all these senior sisters and I want to solve the evil cultivator as soon as possible, and don't care about other things."

Seeing that the two of them finally finished being polite, Chu Miao asked Pei Jue, "Have you sensed that there are evil cultivators in the palace recently?"

Pei Jue frowned and thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook his head.

"No, ever since a boy disappeared mysteriously, I went to investigate outside the palace and found that it was caused by two evil cultivators in the late stage of Qi training, so I didn't dare to fight recklessly.

After reporting to the Zongmen, early warning formations were set up everywhere in the palace. If a monk in the late stage of Qi training, it is impossible to take people away without alerting the formations. "

When the young man heard this, he became angry again, "I knew it, those sluts must be taking advantage of this to make trouble! If something happens to my brother, none of them will think about it!"

Gu Nianning glared at the young man, "If Fellow Daoist Luo wants to find Brother Ling, you can go ahead, we have something to discuss with Junior Brother."

Seeing that Gu Nianning was dissatisfied, Mu Qinian also complained about his junior brother, he is talking about evil cultivators here, why do you bring up these mundane harem battles.

Gently pulled Luo Ning, and cupped his hands towards Gu Nianning, "I'm really sorry, I'll accompany my junior brother to find his younger brother first, if the fellow Taoists need any help, both of us will be obliged, and everyone who is a cultivator will be able to do so." Zhu Zhi, we will also pay more attention to the clues of this matter, so we will leave now!"

After speaking, pulling Luo Ning, who seemed to want to say something, left the hall.

Gu Nianning rolled his eyes, and said to Pei Jue, "How did his brother disappear, don't say you don't know anything."

Pei Jue chuckled twice, "These things are not for us cultivators. Seeing him like that, he will soon find out. Why should I talk too much?"

Chu Miao also knew that Luo Hong's disappearance must have nothing to do with evil cultivators, so she stopped thinking about it and asked, "Where did you find the traces of evil cultivators last time?"

"It was at a family in the west city. I was outside to investigate the matter that night, and I felt an evil cultivator in the distance.

I'm ashamed to say, junior brother, I'm not very good at fighting skills, but I'm still quite confident in concealment and formation, so I thought about following first and then making plans.

Unexpectedly, there were two evil cultivators in total, both of whom were qi-training level [-] monks. I saw that I was no match, so I hurried back to the palace and reported the matter to the sect. "

Pei Jue said with a look of shame on his face, "When I went back the next day, the family had already lost their child, and the aura of evil cultivators had been covered up, and I couldn't find where they went."

Seeing that Pei Jue felt guilty, Chu Miao said softly, "Even if you come forward to help, you will only set yourself up, and the child will still be taken away.

Take us to the homes of the missing people at night to see if there are any clues left, and to catch the evil cultivators as soon as possible is to seek justice for those people. "

Gu Nianning looked puzzled, "There is nothing to do now, why don't you go and see it as soon as possible, so that it can be resolved as soon as possible."

Chu Miao shook her head, "It's not easy to hide during the day, it's easy to scare the snake.

If the evil cultivator knows that we are here to investigate, maybe he will have concerns and keep a low profile.

When we find nothing and return to the sect, they will dispatch again, and they may even change places to act more covertly.

Besides, we still don't know their real number. If they feel that our strength is not enough, they might attack us. "

After hearing this, several people felt that it was reasonable, so they agreed to act after nightfall.
