Yan Ruyu saw a person wearing a white veil on the hillside. Although she could not see her face, she intuitively felt that it was the Goddess of Heaven's Eyes.

At the same time, Deputy General Shi also saw it.

The past events were vivid in his mind, and Deputy General Shi's grief and indignation seemed to have suddenly found an outlet.

He ran as fast as he could towards the Goddess of Heavenly Eyes.

Yan Ruyu and the boss also followed. Governor Cao was out of breath, and Song Ping stayed beside him.

The Goddess of Heaven's Eye watched them coming, and had no intention of leaving. She stood quietly, waiting for them to arrive.

Before Deputy General Shi arrived, his sword was already unsheathed.

Every word he spoke was pierced with blood in his voice.

"Where is my wife? What did you mean when you said before that she would be lost?"

The Goddess of Heaven's Eyes did not answer, only her white veil swayed slightly and her skirt fluttered a little, other than that, she did not move at all.

Yan Ruyu arrived soon after. The boss stood beside her, half of his body blocking her, his hand on the hilt of the knife.

Yan Ruyu noticed that the veil that the Goddess of Heaven's Eye wore today was different from the white gauze used on the sedan chair that day. It was much thinner, and the outline of the woman could be seen. She was slender and had a small face. Her specific appearance could not be seen clearly, but it could be seen that she was not very old, no more than twenty years old.

I took a quick sniff and there wasn't any strange smell on her.

Deputy General Shi pointed the tip of his knife at her, but she remained motionless.

Governor Cao climbed up panting, thinking that Deputy General Shi was about to lose control of his emotions and attack.

"Don't... General Shi... don't be... impulsive!"

Governor Cao didn't care about anything else and went to Deputy General Shi to stop him.

"Don't...don't..."

At this time, a cold male voice was heard.

"Infinite Heavenly Lord."

Yan Ruyu turned her head and saw a man in a Taoist robe walking out. He was in his forties, with a black beard that fluttered in front of his chest. The dark blue robe had wide sleeves that swayed gently in the wind, giving him a somewhat immortal look.

The Taoist priest walked up to the side of the Goddess of Heavenly Eyes. She turned around to look at him and took a step closer to him.

"Who are you?" asked Deputy General Shi.

The Taoist priest flicked his whisk and said, "I am Xuanqing."

Deputy General Shi's expression eased slightly: "Are you Taoist Priest Xuanqing?"

Xuan Qing nodded: "That's right."

Governor Cao was slightly surprised: "So it's Taoist Priest Xuanqing. I have heard of your great name for a long time. I was fortunate enough to have seen you in action when you fought with Dacheng."

Yan Ruyu had never heard of this person.

However, judging from the attitudes of Governor Cao and Deputy General Shi, this person should be quite famous and have some prestige.

Taoist Xuanqing smiled and said, "It's all in the past, no need to mention it again."

Deputy General Shi had no time to make small talk: "Master, she said before that my wife would be lost, and today my wife's body is indeed missing. I would like to ask, what is going on?"

Taoist Xuanqing pinched his fingers and said, "I came here just for this matter."

"General Shi is loyal and courageous. He must be a blessed man. Madam Shi shouldn't have suffered this misfortune."

"The goddess predicted before that if the general had paid attention at that time, perhaps..."

Deputy General Shi knelt on one knee and said: "It is Shi who is blind and does not recognize the great man. Please help me, Taoist priest, and give me some pointers again."

Taoist Xuanqing helped him up: "General, there is no need to do this. I am not the one who can predict the future."

After a slight hesitation, Taoist Xuanqing said, "Well, let me discuss this with the goddess."

"Thank you."

Taoist Xuanqing took a few steps back, and the goddess followed him. He whispered something.

Yan Ruyu was just about to listen carefully when the goddess suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the southeast.

Her voice was the same as before, without any ups and downs: "The wedding in the underworld will be at midnight."

Yan Ruyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and Deputy General Shi's expression also changed: "What does this mean?"

Taoist Xuanqing flicked his whisk and walked back: "General Shi, we can't reveal too much of the secrets of heaven. The goddess can only give us so much information. From here, go southeast and look for anything to see if you can find anything."

He added: "Remember, it must be before midnight tonight."

Yan Ruyu asked, "Did the goddess say this?"

Taoist Xuanqing looked at her and bowed: "Princess, I bow to you."

"You recognize me?"

Taoist Xuanqing shook his head: "I don't recognize him, but..."

He paused for a moment and looked at Yan Ruyu: "The princess has a special fate. I can tell at a glance."

Special fate?

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "Master, you have good eyesight."

"You haven't answered the question yet. Were the direction and time just now told by the goddess?"

"That's right," Taoist Xuanqing said gently but firmly, "What the goddess said is the secret of heaven, so we can't say too much. This time is an exception. If it weren't for General Shi's merits, the goddess couldn't say too much. Even so,..."

Before he finished speaking, the Goddess of Heaven's Eyes who was standing beside him suddenly fell down.

Everyone was slightly startled, but Taoist Xuanqing didn't seem surprised and reached out to catch her.

"If you reveal the secret, your soul will be harmed. That's what will happen. Everyone, take care. I have to take her away first."

After saying this, he picked up the Goddess of Heavenly Eyes and turned to walk down the other side of the hillside.

He walked very fast and his steps were light.

"What an amazing martial art," the boss said softly.

Governor Cao sighed: "The Taoist priest is still as charming as ever."

Deputy General Shi had no time to think about anything else. He immediately took his men and headed southeast.

He didn't say goodbye and looked hurried.

Governor Cao cleared his throat and said, "Princess, please don't be offended. Deputy General Shi is also anxious..."

Yan Ruyu looked at Deputy General Shi's back and said, "It's okay."

"Sir, what is the origin of this Taoist Priest Xuanqing?"

When Governor Cao heard this, he instantly became alert: "He is not an ordinary Taoist priest, nor is he a swindler or a bluff."

"He really has some magical powers."

"Five years ago, our dynasty had a duel with Dacheng. Taoist Priest Xuanqing and three other Taoist priests were our representatives. They went outside the Great Wall and fought with the Taoist priests of Dacheng on the Wangfeng Terrace."

"At that time, the sky was dark and the wind was blowing violently. I saw it with my own eyes. It was so thrilling that I still remember it vividly when I think back to it now."

"I have to say that the Taoist priests at Dacheng are also very powerful. We won by a narrow margin, and it was only after the three Taoist priests sacrificed themselves to the heavens and drew down thunder that we were able to break their magic."

"What a pity. Of the four Taoist priests who went to fight, only Taoist priest Xuanqing was left."

"There are still the remains of the Watchtower outside the pass, which was struck by lightning and is in a mess," Governor Cao paused. "However, later there was news that Dacheng cheated. They not only invited Taoist priests, but also two great wizards."

"It's just that the great wizard didn't show up, but assisted from the side and occupied an important life gate, which is why he was so powerful. It is also because of this that the three Taoist priests fell."

Yan Ruyu felt that what he said was a bit mysterious.

She doesn't believe in matters of gods and ghosts.

But sudden strong winds are beyond human control.

However, others may not know, but Yan Ruyu knows clearly that the weather and other things can be predicted.

It happened so long ago that only rumors remain. There is no point dwelling on them.

The most important thing right now is to find Mrs. Shi’s body.
