Man is in the midst of the mysteries of the spirit, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

From the message from Yin Yu’s father, Anle could also tell that there might be some less harmonious things happening within the Zhenling Division.

Not long after, Situ Yuan took his leave first, and Anle returned to the Taoist temple and watched the development of the situation quietly.

******

After the Li family members were captured by Hai Yuqing.

Boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, and antiques were moved out of the Li family's home and transported to the county government office.

All of the Li family's servants, young masters, and female relatives were thrown into prison, awaiting Hai Yuqing's trial.

Hai Yuqing had accumulated many unjust, false and wrong cases related to the Li family before, and now he started to interrogate them personally.

In just half a day, one horrific and cruel case after another was uncovered.

It can be seen from the Li family's support of evil warriors and bandits outside the city that they act without restraint.

Bullying men and women and occupying land are just the most common trivial matters. The various cases of murder made Hai Yuqing furious and terrified by the disgusting nature of human nature.

As many as 80% of the Li family members who were sentenced to death!

As a result of the involvement, Hai Yuqing also uncovered many cases involving landlords and gentry, and personally took action to arrest a large number of people.

But this time, the other landlords did not dare to resist at all and could only hand over the people obediently.

Some people whose crimes were not so serious even took the initiative to surrender themselves to the county government in order to receive less punishment.

All the resistance Hai Yuqing had encountered before seemed to have disappeared overnight without a trace.

Didn’t you see that even the Li family was ransacked without any chance of fighting back?

The total number of warriors at the third level among the Dong family and other families is not as many as that of the Li family. How can they resist?

The only thing they were thankful for was that their daily behavior was not too extreme and they were not subject to property raids and execution.

Hai Yuqing's policy of clearing land and reducing taxes was finally implemented in every village.

Hai Yuqing returned the land he had taken from the landlords to the owners if they had owners, and auctioned off the land if they had no owners.

When farmers have land in their hands, they have hope for the future.

In addition to the reduction in taxes, even though the weather was still hot and dry, the people in Baoqi County gradually smiled more and more, and they all praised the deeds of "Hai Qingtian".

at the same time.

Everyone knows that County Magistrate Hai was able to sweep the Li family so easily with the help of a scholar, and even eliminated the bandits who had been entrenched outside the city for several years.

There are many rumors about Lu Bin's identity.

Some speculate that he is a human being walking among the hidden sects;

Some people suspected that he was a master sent down from heaven, specially to help Hai Qingtian remove obstacles;

Some people also say that he is actually a demon and his nature is cruel and terrifying.

But no matter what, the name of the jade-faced scholar Lu Bin soon spread throughout Baoqi County and he became a figure as famous as the old immortal Wuxu.

******

At this time, Anle had already left Baoqi County and was heading towards the border of Qingzhou.

After all this trouble, the landlords in Baoqi County were so frightened that they dared not go against Hai Yuqing again.

Only after ensuring the stability of the rear did Anle dare to leave with peace of mind.

As for Yin Yu and Yin Feichen?

Since the situation next is unknown and there may be extremely powerful masters appearing, Anle may not be able to protect them, so he simply leaves the two of them in the Taoist temple, leaving them enough silver and blood crystals so that they can practice with peace of mind, and announces that "Old Immortal Wuxu" will be in seclusion for a period of time and will no longer receive others.

After making these preparations, Anle began his journey to find his senior sister.

By the way, before leaving, Hai Yuqing also gave him 40,000 taels of silver.

Most of these are the money obtained after the house was confiscated.

Although Hai Yuqing is an honest official, he is not a pedantic person and has always believed in pragmatism.

Whether it was Qing Zhengyang or other warriors, he chose to use real money to win people's hearts, not to mention the most important peace and happiness.

The forty thousand taels of silver were given as a thank you gift to Anle for his previous help.

Anle was not being pretentious. He was now practicing Qi and Blood Condensation Pill and needed money right away, so naturally the more the better.

******

three days later.

Following the guidance of a group of traveling merchants, Anle brought Xiao Xiaohong to the foot of a mountain.

Looking up, the entire mountain range is bare, with only some sporadic buds popping up, bringing a touch of light green.

There was not even a single animal to be seen on it; it looked desolate and eerie.

This is what is called a "barren mountain."

But obviously, it has been a while since its days of being more than eating empty food.

Anle was also amazed by what he saw.

Hearing about this scene from other people and seeing it with your own eyes are two completely different feelings.

"No wonder some people suspect that this was done by some demon."

“It does look weird and strange.”

Especially when compared with the dense forests, lush greenery and vitality on other surrounding mountains, this barren mountain seems more abrupt.

What’s interesting is that there are quite a few martial artists with a strong sense of martial arts watching nearby.

Some just happened to pass by.

But some come specifically for it.

"What on earth is this made of? And why do they do this?"

A pretty girl in light yellow clothes asked curiously to the elder beside her.

The old man, whose hair was gray but whose blood was still vigorous, shook his head: "Who knows?"

"Maybe it's a monster, or maybe it's an evil spirit."

"In short, there are no traces of blood, it doesn't look like it was done by a human."

The old man looked a little serious. "It's this person who started this incident. His whereabouts are erratic and he may have left Qingzhou now."

"We have to hurry up, otherwise the reward might be taken away by someone else."

When the warriors nearby heard this, they turned their heads curiously and were about to make a few sarcastic remarks, but their expressions quickly changed.

"Huang Yueshan? It's actually him!"

"The one next to him must be the daughter of the Huang family. She is indeed very pretty."

"I didn't expect that even the Yueshan Escort Agency would be interested in the reward..."

The Yueshan Escort Agency was of great importance. It was the largest escort agency in Qingzhou City. Not to mention the third realm warriors, there were more than one fourth realm warriors. To ordinary wanderers like them, it was simply not a world of its own.

Hearing these whispers, Huang Yueshan did not say anything, but just glanced at them with his tiger eyes.

Although he was an old man with white hair and beard, he exuded the ferocity of a tiger. Just one glance at him scared everyone so much that they looked away and dared not look any longer.

Huang Tianxin didn't notice the fierce momentum at all, and said with a sweet smile: "Grandpa, why are you scaring them?"

"Humph, how dare a few brats stare at my granddaughter!"

"Of course I have to teach him a lesson."

Huang Yueshan snorted coldly, and as he glanced around, he suddenly noticed a distinctive figure.

He was a scholar dressed in green with a jade-like face. He did not carry any weapon, but he had an elegant and easy-going temperament that made people feel good about him.

“This young man is great!”

Huang Yueshan had an experienced eye. He could tell from the scholar's straight back and fearless eyes that this boy was definitely no ordinary person.

Other passers-by whispered, "Could it be that handsome scholar from Baoqi County?"

"This demeanor... is really possible!"

Huang Yueshan didn't take these words too seriously.

He had never heard of the place name Baoqi County. It was probably just a small place, and this handsome scholar was probably the most outstanding one among them.

Thinking of this, Huang Yueshan felt a little admiration for talent in his heart and spoke.

"My friend, the mountains here are high and the roads are dangerous. It would be too dangerous to go alone. Do you want to go with us?"

An Le's face showed some surprise. He had never thought of getting in touch with Huang Yueshan, but now that the other party took the initiative to speak, there was no reason for him to refuse.

By following the Huang family, perhaps we can find our senior sister's whereabouts faster.

An Le bowed his hands and thanked him: "Thank you for your kindness, Senior. I will respectfully obey your command."

So, it was natural for him to travel with the people from Yueshan Escort Agency.

The warriors around him cast envious glances at him, thinking that this handsome scholar had found a big tree to lean on.

The Yueshan Escort Agency's team naturally consisted of not only Huang Yueshan and his granddaughter, but also several powerful escorts following them.

In addition to the reward, they seemed to be escorting something along the way.

However, it was impossible to mention what was being escorted to Anle, an outsider.

The escorts were quite friendly towards Anle. They didn't try to make things difficult for him, nor did they pay too much attention to him. They just treated him as a passerby in the same industry.

The only special thing was that Huang Tianxin, the daughter of the Huang family, was extremely cold towards him and didn't even want to speak a word to him.

******

It's evening soon.

After a little inquiry, Anle found out that they were about to leave Qingzhou and would reach the border between Qingzhou and Lingzhou in one day at most.

An Le thought to himself, "This speed is much faster than if I were to travel by myself."

Apart from the special demon-blood horses they rode, the escorts obviously knew many hidden shortcuts and paths.

In fact, the map that Hai Yuqing gave to Anle contained some errors and deviations in some places.

There is nothing we can do about this.

The Great Tai Divine Dynasty is vast, and it would take a lot of effort to carefully explore and map it. In addition, the battles between warriors may change the topography and terrain of an area, so it is normal to have deviations.

Of course, the fastest way to travel is to use spiritual power to rise into the air and soar into the sky.

But after learning about the existence of the Spirit Suppression Bureau, Anle became cautious about the use of spiritual power.

If one uses spiritual power too ostentatiously, it might lead to suppression from the Spirit Suppression Division.

In desperation, Anle could only use this primitive way to travel.

After a day of running around, the horses and the escorts were obviously tired.

Huang Yueshan ordered them to set up camp and rest on the spot, feed the horses with precious fodder, and make a fire to cook.

Ordinary warriors might not dare to light an open fire in the wild for fear of attracting ferocious monsters, but Huang Yueshan and his men are so powerful that they will even provide them with a meal when monsters come, so naturally they have no such taboos.

Anle, who was traveling with us, was also invited to dine together.

The bonfire was burning brightly, and a large pot of beast meat soup was bubbling in the pot, emitting an enticing aroma.

There is also dry food made from spiritual rice, which is crushed into pieces and thrown into the broth. After being soaked in the broth, it tastes very good.

Delicious and filling.

The person responsible for scooping the soup was none other than the bright-eyed and white-toothed Huang Tianxin.

She seemed to speak very little when dealing with other escorts, and at most she only smiled at a few female escorts.

The rest of the time he basically said nothing and remained silent.

But when it was Anle's turn, Huang Tianxin's pretty face was full of coldness, one could even say that there was a hint of hostility. She coldly scooped a spoonful of soup, then turned her head away, unwilling to look at him again.

Anle was very confused and began to doubt her own charm.

"Although Lu Bin's face is not even one-tenth of my real appearance, it's not so ugly that it's disgusting, right?"

Anle didn't think that all women in the world would become crazy about him when they saw him, but this unreasonable coldness and hostility made him extremely puzzled.
