Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 639 Stealing the Lotus
In the middle of the night, there were very few people on the streets of the capital.

Chief Cui led a group of people under his command and left the bodyguard in a hurry, the cold sweat on his forehead didn't even dry up.

"My lord, who is that Li Xiuyuan? What is his official position? You are so frightened by him. Judging from his young appearance, he is at most a county magistrate, and what is more, he is a magistrate." A subordinate next to him asked.

Cui Wei said in a low voice: "This person is Li Xiuyuan, the guerrilla general in the south. You should all know about the rebellion of the King of Nine Mountains last year. He was the one responsible for the rebellion. Li Liangjin, the King of the Nine Mountains, defeated 10,000+ troops in one day

Defeated, never recovering from a setback, until finally wiped out. "

"And this is just the news from the imperial court. According to the news from the Six Gates, there are several thousand-year-old monsters plotting Li Liangjin's rebellion, Wang Ze from the Maitreya Sect, Hua Gu from the White Lotus Sect, the great thief Shihu, and the water thief Mr. Chen." , the capital of these thieves is very human, and they were transformed from great monsters, but after that battle

The king was killed on the spot, and the White Lotus Sect disappeared. It is said that it was finally wiped out by Li Xiuyuan's army. Huanhua Gu's life might be lost. "

"It's not terrible that Li Xiuyuan wiped out the rebellion. What's terrible is that the monster who has plagued the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years was wiped out by his own power."

"This time the officials recruited him to report on his work in Beijing. On the surface, we don't know if there is any big plan behind the report. This is not something we can guess, nor can we get involved. If things go wrong, we can't afford it."

The lame old man was startled when he heard the words: "The lotus essence is the demon of Wutong Sect. This time Master Li captured the lotus essence and made a lot of noise about it. Could it be that he is going to attack Wutong Sect?"

"The lotus essence is just a bait, and its purpose is the five great immortals of the Wutong Sect?"

"Hush, walls have ears, don't talk about this anymore." Cui Wei hissed, and looked around vigilantly, not daring to reveal what he speculated.

The capital has been suffering from ghosts and spirits for a long time.

If this Li Xiuyuan really came to the capital by the emperor's order, then it is very likely that he wanted to attack these ghosts and monsters in the capital.

Regardless of whether it was his own intention, it was most likely also the imperial court's intention.

It's a pity that Li Xiuyuan didn't know what Cui Wei was thinking.

If you know, then you must laugh at this person who has too much brain power and thinks too much.

Li Xiuyuan simply encountered some evil things and wanted to solve them casually. He didn't think about it that much at all. If it wasn't about Zhu Yu, he wouldn't even know that there was such a thing as Wutongjiao, and he wouldn't even go to it. Looking for trouble when there is nothing to do, looking for trouble with that lotus girl.

It's a pity that Miss Lianhua's fate was not good, and she met her doom and fell into her own hands.

I can only blame her for doing too much evil, and there will be retribution in the end.

But the night was not peaceful.

Li Xiuyuan's house is clean, but it is on a river in the capital.

Ships dock here, which is an important wharf, but on a river south of the capital, there are lights and festoons here, and there are many painted boats here. It is comparable to the Qinhuai River in Jinling City. It is a rare place of wind, flowers and snow , Some people are tired of the boring brothels, come to the river to listen to the music and admire the dancing girls,

It's not bad to blow the river wind.

At this moment.

A wave of evil spirit submerged into one of the painting boats under the cover of night.

The evil spirit manifested, but it was the figure of a woman.

However, her figure is a bit vain, like a ghost, without form.

This person is none other than the lotus essence that Li Xiuyuan deliberately let go in Zuifeng Tower.

"The Great Immortal saves me, the Great Immortal saves me, I met a strong man in the Drunken Wind Building, he was powerful in spells, and took my body away, my Nu's escaped with only one shape, please ask the Great Immortal to save me."

The lotus girl cried out with a pleading look on her face, and knelt down facing a private room in the painting boat.

"It's a lotus flower."

A woman's voice came from the private room, the voice was light and agile, without any enchanting air, but instead had a kind of non-human flavor.

"Great Immortal, save me." Miss Lianhua kowtowed in tears and said, "My family's Taoism is all in the body, and I ask the Great Immortal to cast a spell to save me."

"Don't cry, what are you crying for? It's all my family, so how could I die?" The voice continued.

But I saw a pair of jade-like hands on the gums in the private room were taking a piece of yellow paper and folding it into a paper crane: "I sent this paper crane to hold that lotus flower. You just need to wait for a few days and it will be gone immediately." , and step back first, don’t come to my place to make noise again, next time you have something to go to Jiaofang to find me.”

"Thank you, Great Immortal, thank you, Great Immortal." Miss Lianhua was overjoyed when she saw a paper crane flying out, and hurriedly kowtowed.

But after she left, another voice sounded from inside.

"My sister clearly knows that the human way is unpredictable. She can capture the lotus, and she can also capture her clone. The reason why she was allowed to escape from the Zuifeng Tower was because the drunkard's intention was not to drink, and it was our Wutong Sect. You guys, if you dare to call our attention, you must have confidence, and you need to be extremely careful.

If I come to deal with it, I will directly abandon the lotus and cut off this connection. "

The other voice said lazily, it was also a woman's voice, but it was a little less immortal and a little more bewitching.

"You're too impatient. I'll send Zhihe to investigate first, to test that person's skills. Besides, the lotus flower is of great importance in the sect. If you don't express it, wouldn't it be chilling? There is an opportunity to take advantage of."

"If that person really wants to track down our Wutong Sect, he will be able to track it down sooner or later, and the connection will not be clear."

"Sister said yes."

The voices in the painting boat quickly quieted down.

Only one paper crane flew to the Zuifeng Tower without a sound, and after staying in the Zuifeng Tower for a while, it searched for the smell of lotus in the capital.

When the sky is getting brighter.

The paper crane finally found the yard where Li Xiuyuan was.

The paper crane landed on the water tank in the yard from the sky, and it stood there looking at the blooming lotus in the water tank.

Cleverly patrolled around for a while.

Suddenly, the paper crane fluttered its wings and flew, and suddenly became bigger. It turned into a crane and grabbed the rhizome of the lotus with its claws, trying to pull it out of the water tank and take it away.

"crash"

However, the water surface in the water tank fluctuated and splashed.

Suddenly, thousands of golden lights shot out from the water, instantly covering the crane.

The wailing crane instantly turned into a piece of ordinary yellow paper and fell from mid-air, and the lotus flower that had just been picked up returned to the water tank again.

There was no movement except for a few waves.

"Goo, goo."

A big bright red rooster paced over and pecked at the yellow paper crane on the ground. The big rooster walked away only after seeing that there was no response from the pecking tatters.

"Is it really a trap? It's really extraordinary."

The Great Immortal sensed the fate of the paper crane, and let out a soft sigh. His spell was broken in an instant, and the information revealed in it was enough for people to pay attention to.
