Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 36

The sky was getting darker, and the dull atmosphere in Xu's mansion was broken. The news spread that an expert came to the mansion and wanted to cast spells to find the young master. Look, the front yard has been put under martial law by the Marquis's soldiers, and I saw my wife and her personal maid holding a small dress and quickly stepping into the eaves leading to the front yard.

The woman's eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously cried many times. When she came to the front yard, her husband walked back and forth in front of the closed door with his hands behind his back, stepped forward anxiously, and gave a little blessing.

"Husband, is there really an expert who can find Yu'er?"

"The master is inside, Madam, wait a moment, don't disturb the master's thoughts." Xu Huaiyu held his wife's weak hand tightly. In fact, he didn't have much confidence in his heart, but this was the only hope.

He took the youngest son's clothes, caressed them lovingly, then faced the closed door, and said respectfully inside the door: "Sir, the children's clothes have been brought."

At this time, inside the door, Chen Yuan was sitting on a chair flipping through the yellow book in her hand. "Miscellaneous Suspicions of Huang Chuan" was a story about searching. Give it to the fat Taoist, and told the master to eat snacks here.

"Go, let's go... for the teacher to know."

The crazy old man's speech and sanity were much clearer this time, and he waved his hand while chewing on the pastry.Chen Yuan just nodded, opened the door and went outside.

"Duhou, please take half a basin of clean water."

"Yes, sir please."

While Xu Huaiyu hurriedly handed over the clothes, a servant brought clean water and put it on the brought table.Chen Yuan pinched the formula and stirred it gently in the water according to the formula in the book to form a vortex.

Suddenly grabbing it suddenly, sprinkled sparse drops of water on the little clothes, the next moment, Chen Yuan threw the little clothes into the air, and the clothes unfolded in a 'wow', unexpectedly hanging in the night sky.

Xu Huaiyu was born in the army, and seeing such a mysterious scene, he was also shocked. Xu Shi who was on the side was even more nervous and grabbed the hem of her husband's clothes. The shocked eyes of the surrounding soldiers and maids did not blink, for fear of missing what.

"The land has an owner, the house has an owner, and the clothes also have an owner. Hurry up and find your owner!" Chen Yuan snapped her finger, and a blue light shot into the floating little clothes. In an instant, the clothes swelled up like someone wearing them, and then It moved a bit, swayed left and right, and slowly flew in one direction.

"Follow it!"

Chen Yuan said softly, leading the fat Taoist to walk under it, Xu Huaiyu also hurriedly followed behind, watching the little clothes floating away, her heart was beating wildly, when she couldn't find her son, her heart was full of hope, But now that he had a solution, he was afraid that what he found would be a small, cold corpse.

He led his wife and followed the tall man with his son's clothes and walked for a while, almost turning around the courtyard, just when he thought that the child was in the courtyard, the clothes suddenly stopped at the gate of the house, and turned around rushed to the street.

At this time, the sky is completely dark, because of the recent loss of a child in the city, the sky is dark, and there are very few pedestrians on the street, otherwise, seeing the flying clothes, I am afraid that it will scare the passers-by who don't know the whole story.

Chen Yuan hurriedly asked the fat Taoist to go back and bring the master to chase after him.

And Xu Huaiyu told his wife to wait for news in the mansion: "Sir, you must have found Yu'er. You should stay at home and wait for news from your husband."

After finishing speaking, he called [-] soldiers in the mansion, raised their weapons and went straight outside the mansion, followed the clothes all the way to the west of the city, and sent someone to notify early to open the city gate.

The soldiers over there didn't know what was going on, but when they saw the flying clothes, they tremblingly opened the city gate so that people could pass through, and saw the clothes slipping out non-stop.

"Du... Duhou..." Sima, who was guarding the gate, wanted to ask Xu Huaiyu who was chasing after him, but he was interrupted by the other party before he finished speaking. Order, ask him to bring someone here, the child lost in the city for a few days, may have found a clue! Hurry up!"

The last sound almost roared, and the Sima dared not disobey his orders, so he mounted his horse and swung his whip straight to the direction of the county government.

At this moment, on Chen Yuan's side, he followed the fluttering clothes to the outside of the city. Xu Huai met someone and lit a torch, lighting up the surroundings like a fire dragon. He walked about two miles along the official road at the foot, and turned to another Fork in the road.

The sound of human footsteps and the clash of weapons caused a burst of frightened birds to fly in the dark woods ahead.

'Clap clap clap...'

A flock of perched birds flapped their wings and scurry through the forest. Chen Yuan, who arrived here, stopped, and in her eyes, the fluttering clothes flew to the outline of a dilapidated building and hovered, as if losing support, from the mid-air fell to the ground.

"Sir, but here?" Xu Huaiyu hurried over and waved his hands to let the soldiers surround the buildings here.

When 30 people passed by Chen Yuan, he went to the clothes and picked them up. Beyond his field of vision, weeds were growing all around, the eaves were slanted and covered with fallen leaves, and not far away a half-broken stone tablet was covered with vines. Can't read the writing on it.

"Would you know this temple?"

"The Earth Temple in Linjiang County, but it was abandoned later and moved to the south of the city." Xu Huaiyu asked people to gather the torches, and among the soldiers, someone who was a scout looked around, and suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, there are carriage marks on the ground. .”

The fire light moved down, part of the fallen leaves on the ground were pushed away, the traces of the chariot run over were quite obvious, and there were more than one place, Xu Huaiyu had been in the army for many years, this point could still be discerned, and immediately called ten people.

"Quickly go to the nearby residents and bring them for questioning."

After the person left, he turned around and saw Chen Yuan squatting on the ground, "Did you find anything, sir?"

Chen Yuan looked at an inconspicuous little footprint next to the shaft of the car, and it was true that the clothes brought him here.He nodded silently, then walked to the temple that had been abandoned for many years.

The gate of the temple has long disappeared, and the altar is empty, covered with a thick layer of dust.

Sweeping his gaze around, a few shadows lingered in the corners. It should be lonely souls and wandering ghosts absorbing the remaining traces of incense in this ruined temple. Chen Yuan's eyes fell on them. , Immediately shrouded these wisps of Yin Qi, frightened and scattered in an instant, and ran out of the temple with a gust of Yin wind.

The sudden gust of wind caused the soldiers outside to panic, and even faintly heard wailing in the wind.

"Sir, what happened just now?" Xu Huaiyu pulled out his sword and broke into the temple. He had seen mysterious techniques tonight. He didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but now he was deeply involved in it. Now that there is any disturbance, he is a little nervous allergy.

"It's just a few lonely ghosts who live in temples and absorb incense."

Chen Yuan just made a simple statement, but Xu Huaiyu was a little horrified when he heard it. He held the sword and turned his head to look around, and followed closely not far from the master.

"This should be the place where those thieves lived." Chen Yuan looked around the temple, except for ghosts, there were no other abnormalities, so there were only traces of chariots and horses outside.

Soon, the soldiers sent out brought back a few people. They were all dressed up as peasants from the surrounding area. They were brought out by a group of soldiers in the middle of the night. Their faces were inevitably terrified, and they stood shivering in front of the temple.

"Are there any cars and horses stopping at this temple recently? Can you see strange faces nearby?"

The few peasants who were questioned were too frightened to speak when they saw Xu Huaiyu and the surrounding soldiers with fierce faces, and their bodies trembled even more fiercely.

Clang!
Clang!
The blades of the blades were pulled halfway out of the sheath, reflecting the light of the torches, and the forest was cold. In this scene, someone finally backed away in fright, and opened his mouth tremblingly.

"Yes... yes... three carriages came here... there were seven or eight people... they stayed here for two days..."

"Are there any children among them?"

The man shook his head, and after a moment, nodded again: "I heard the voice of a child...it seems to be crying."

Xu Huaiyu's eyes were red, he clenched the hilt of his sword, and made a low voice.

"Then, where did you go?"

"No... I don't know... I just saw them walking to the southwest."

Xu Huaiyu looked back at the temple gate, arched his hands: "Sir?!"

It's been two days and I don't know if I can catch up or not. Chen Yuan closed her eyes and was thinking about it, but Xu Huaiyu over there couldn't wait any longer. Seeing that the master didn't speak, she thought that bringing him here had exhausted all the trust in the search. , No longer helping, gritted his teeth, turned around and got on the horse, and galloped the horse.

roar!

"Yu'er is my son. As a father, how can he not save him? If a child in the city is lost, how can he sit idly by as a prince! All the sons come with me—"

The surrounding ground exploded, and the thirty soldiers got on their horses one by one, and ran wildly with him, and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye, leaving only the sound of hooves gradually fading away in the night.

"It's really impatient."

The fat Taoist stroked Yuanyuan's chin and said.
