Daoist, I am married

All those who went out to investigate reported that the fragrance had disappeared without a trace.

Jin Ze wandered around for a few more times, and said, "Now that we have clues, with the strength of the Taoist leader, the next thing must be difficult for you. Then let's take the first step."

Ming Cong frowned upon hearing the words: "But now that the whole city has been sealed and locked down, and the case has not yet been investigated, I am really worried about you leaving the city rashly."

Jin Ze suddenly came back to his senses, he was only paying attention to the fragrance and clues, as if he had forgotten the problem of going out of the city.

He only planned to eat a steamed stuffed bun and buy a talisman.

This is great, I originally wanted to go to the city to buy materials to develop the land-shrinking talisman to speed up the journey, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating and was delayed instead.

"If you go out of the city, something will happen. I can't take a long way to climb over the wall?" He thought that the trip went smoothly these few days because it was really useful to get married, but now it seems to be his illusion.

Ming Cong suddenly said: "It's not necessarily true."

Jinze looked at him.

Ming Cong said again: "Anyone who goes out of the city will have an accident, it is not absolutely the case. The news we got must have missed some, such a big city, the daily flow of people must be more than two or three, and the candidates who enter Beijing will take at least a month. Return, if someone goes out and fails to return during this period, it is impossible for no one in the city to find out."

"I think we need to talk to the city lord."

The Lord Yunbie is a kind-hearted middle-aged man, he speaks in a gentle tone, and he seems to have a good temper.

Seeing that the savior finally arrived, the city lord was overjoyed, and immediately took out the good tea from his collection to receive him, and offered to provide the information he had.

"This matter, my news here was indeed wrong at the beginning."

"When someone disappears, people panic. It is said that those who leave the city never come back. In fact, it is not necessarily true."

"According to my investigation, after the three candidates left the city, there were 300 people who left the city on 140 out of the records. Excluding 150 people who went to other places, 12 and [-] locals returned safely, and the remaining [-] people are still missing. Unknown." The city lord knocked on the table at this point, very distressed.

Ming Cong said: "These 12 people haven't returned for a long time, so no one reported it?"

The city lord shook his head, very ashamed: "Yes, there are, but Yunbie has always had a mixed population, and it is very troublesome to deal with the missing persons case. They have always sent voices to the towns where the missing persons went to search for them, but there is still no news. It wasn't until these three candidates also mysteriously disappeared that they paid more attention to it."

Ming Cong said again: "Can I borrow the records of these people going out of the city?"

"Of course." The city lord beckoned someone to take out the city records, and said earnestly, "The people of Yunbie have always done their duty and have never taken the initiative to cause trouble. I have always flattered my ancestors, obeyed the law, and devoted myself to cultivating the pillars of the country. But This time someone stretched out his hand to Yun Bie's students, I beg the Taoist priest to uphold justice for Yun Bie."

"Please don't worry, City Lord," Ming Cong said, "We will definitely do our best."

After Ming Cong got the record of going out of the city, he flipped through it and asked, "Why is there no time record in this record?"

The city owner frowned: "No time?" Then he took the record and checked it. The record book recorded everyone's name and other information in detail, except for the time when they left the city. It was blank.

"What's going on?" The city lord asked his subordinates in a stern tone.

The person who brought up the record book stepped forward: "My lord, I just checked this record book yesterday, and the time is clearly recorded."

"Then you're saying I'm blind?" The city lord threw the record book on him.

"This..." The subordinate looked at the blank space in disbelief, then knelt down and said, "My lord, what I said is true. The time record of yesterday is indeed still there."

"you......"

Ming Cong raised his hand to interrupt the city lord's accusation: "Don't be impatient, my lord. If someone really erased the time on purpose, our thinking will be clearer. We can investigate the time when they left, and we can roughly infer that they left the city gate. time."

The city lord nodded, and said again: "Come here."

"No need, my lord." Ming Cong said, "We can come to investigate, but I just want to lend you the record book."

The city lord pondered for a moment and said: "That's fine, it will bother the priests."

After leaving the city lord's mansion, it was getting late.The two went back to the inn together.

"What does the Taoist priest think about this?" Jin Ze asked as he gnawed on the steamed stuffed bun while walking.

"Someone is one step ahead of us. It is very likely that it is an enemy rather than a friend, and it is more likely to be the initiator of this incident."

Jin Ze nodded: "If other forces are involved in this matter, it will be a bit complicated." So they would rather investigate by themselves than let Yunbie send someone to intervene. Who knows who Yunbie has mixed into.

"Recently, there always seems to be some people who are just around the corner."

Jin Ze asked, "How do you see it?"

Ming Cong looked at him and said, "The evil spirit in Niujiao Ridge was formed by human sacrifices. Although we subdued the evil spirit, we couldn't find the culprit."

"The Taoist suspects that this is the same group of people?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Their purpose is not yet clear, the enemy is open and we are secretly in the dark. Mr. Jin," Ming Cong said and paused to look at him, "it is safer to stay with us for the time being."

Jin Ze: "..." Daoist Ming thought of him so much, and Jin Ze, who wanted to return to Jinju as soon as possible, really didn't know how to reject him.

"This steamed stuffed bun is quite delicious, Mr. Ming, you've been carrying it all afternoon, do you want one?"

Ming Cong turned around, took a bite of the steamed bun in Jinze's hand, and nodded: "It's not bad."

Kanazawa: "..."

This Ming Daoist is not only a good person, but also so informal that he is worth a friend.

But he thought of the first meeting in Niujiaoling, when did he meet this Ming Daoist?

It is said that such a beautiful and picturesque person, if he has seen it, he will definitely be impressed. When did he lose his memory?

He might have to ask Yinzi and the others who were inseparable from him about this matter.

"I still believe in the strength of the Taoist leader, and this time I will definitely catch the evil leader in one fell swoop."

Ming Onion: "..."

Back at the inn, the group discussed the information they had received and agreed that the time when these people left the city would be the key to the case.So they assigned the tasks for the next day and went back to their rooms early to rest.

Early the next morning, Ming Cong dispersed the information in the record book, and sent the disciples of Chenxiangwu to visit and inquire in detail.The two of them are in charge of the rest.

The first person they visited was the owner of a fruit shop.

"The fruit at this time is not durable. Every three to five days, Lao Li will buy a small batch of fresh ones. That day he went out before dawn as usual. I also brought him meatloaf for the road, and saw it with my own eyes. I watched him go out and walk towards the gate of the city." Boss Li's wife wiped away her tears, "Usually he can come back by dinner time at most, but this time, he didn't come back until the next morning. "

"I thought I was stuck by something, so I sent a message to the sound transmission station, but another day passed, and there was still no news." There are sound transmission stations in larger towns, selling various long-distance and short-distance sound transmission symbols. The sound transmission master with spiritual power in the station helps the talisman to move.

"In desperation, we can only report the case, and the government officials have nothing useful to do. After contacting the fruit wholesaler in the neighboring city, they learned that they hadn't seen Lao Li either. After searching with the sound transmission talisman, the clue was broken outside the city gate. .”

There are three conditions for the transmission of sound transmission symbols. One is the name of the recipient, the other is the general appearance and gender, and the third is the general location. The general range should not exceed ten miles.

If the target deviates from the approximate location by more than ten kilometers, the sound transmission talisman will dissipate on its own if it cannot be delivered.

This is also used as the fastest way to find people, but the transmission speed of the runes is too fast, and only those with a certain level of cultivation can use special secret methods to keep up.

"This person seems to have evaporated out of thin air. My Lao Li is such a good person, why do you treat him like this, my God!" Madam couldn't control her emotions, and finally burst into tears.

Jin Ze and Ming Cong looked at me and I at you, but they didn't know how to comfort them.

Jin Ze pushed Ming Cong, Ming Cong could only bite the bullet and said: "Sister-in-law, don't cry. We will definitely find out as soon as possible, so that Brother Li can return safely."

The two of them left the fruit shop in a bit of a panic, and went to the next one. The missing one was a Ye Xiang woman.

Ye Xiang Fu is an unpopular job, but no matter how dirty or tiring the job is, there is always someone to do it.

The mother of this family is nearly [-] years old, but she is always busy. She wanted to earn some spare money to buy more books for her grandson, so she became a Yexiang woman.

"Grandma goes out after dinner every day. Because I said I was hungry, I ate half an hour earlier than usual." The grandson of the old woman is twelve years old, and he is growing up. Just in time to digest my food, I left for a while. Usually, after collecting a car, I have to take it to the cesspool outside the city to pour it out. Because I can’t pull too much at a time, I have to run a dozen times in total. In the evening, some people said they saw my grandma. As a result, until late at night, my grandma never came back."

Fortunately, the little grandson was strong enough, only his eyes were red, and he didn't cry.

Jin Ze patted him on the shoulder: "Study hard, we will help you find your grandma."

After the visit, it was already time for dinner.

While gnawing on the steamed stuffed bun, Jin Ze drew a few sound transmission symbols to the crowd: "Ruyulou, welcome guests, come back quickly."

The sound transmission symbols turned into a few buzzing wasps and scattered in different directions.

Ming Cong looked at the sky solemnly: "Do you like this thing?"

Jin Ze also raised his head, swallowed the steamed stuffed bun in his mouth and said, "No, my spiritual power is only enough to melt something this big. I just want to see that this bee can protect itself while delivering messages, so I can do it smoothly."

Everyone can transform some couriers according to their own preferences when using sound transmission symbols, but the size of the courier is also related to the strength of spiritual power.

For example, the one in Jinze is the little wasp, the one that is full of fragrance is the little flying ant, the one that is bright onion is the red-billed bird, and the silver...he doesn't have it.

Thinking of the little junior who is most afraid of bees, Ming Cong frowned: "Let's go."
