Chapter 189: Enforcing Justice

Heavenly beings travel against the wind, and it doesn't take long to go from "Ghost Pass" to Difei Mountain, and they only need to pass by Xijing Prefecture on the way.

However, Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei are only in the carefree stage and have not yet entered the infinite stage, so it is difficult for them to fly long distances and for a long time. They still need to take a short rest in the middle to take a breath.

So the two landed outside a county town under the jurisdiction of Xijing Prefecture, planning to rest for a few hours.

Xijing Prefecture and Fucheng are not the same thing. Fucheng is just a city. However, Xijing Prefecture has eighteen counties under its jurisdiction. Each county has jurisdiction over several towns and villages. It covers a vast area. The two of them have to pass through Xijing Prefecture to get there. Difei Mountain does not necessarily pass through the city where Wuxu Palace is located.

As soon as the two of them arrived at the city gate, they saw a group of Qingluan guards who seemed to be waiting for someone.

Qingluan Guard was greatly surprised after seeing the two of them.

One of the leaders of Qingluan Guard Baihu took the initiative to greet him and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that just after reporting in the morning, the Master arrived in the afternoon, and two people came at once. It was really fast!"

Because both of them were still wearing Taoist formal attire and had the "Primordial Sutra Sutra" hanging around their waists, anyone could tell that they were Taoist priests of the fourth grade offering wine.

Qi Xuansu frowned and said, "We were just passing by here to go to Difeishan Wanshou Chongyang Palace. What happened?"

Qingluan Guard Baihu's smile suddenly froze when he heard this, and said to himself: "I wonder why these Taoist masters have changed their temper. Not only did they come quickly, but two of them came at once. It turned out that they happened to be passing by."

However, when faced with a question from a Taoist priest who offered sacrifices to wine, he had no choice but to answer. While Qingluan Guard Bai Hu was slandering, he still answered honestly: "Reporting to Master, a strange case occurred in this county. Someone sneaked in at night. We, the Qingluan Guard's Hundred Household Office, hung a human head on the flagpole in the school grounds. We cut off the flagpole and took out the head. We found that the head turned out to be the head of a local Taoist temple, and it was related to the Taoist sect. We reported it according to the rules, and the superiors said that a mage would be sent to deal with the matter, so we mistakenly identified the two mages as the ones who came to deal with the matter. "

Yao Pei suddenly said: "Since it concerns people from the Taoist sect, there is no reason for us to sit idly by and ignore it. Please take us to see the corpse."

Qingluan Guard Baihu said in surprise: "Yes."

Under the guidance of Baihu, Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei came to the morgue. At this time, four corpses were parked here. Except for one corpse whose head had been separated, the other three corpses were still intact.

Qi Xuansu asked: "Why are there four people?"

Baihu replied: "In addition to the leader of the local Taoist temple, three other Taoist temple members were also killed in their sleep, but their heads were not cut off."

Qi Xuansu asked again: "How can you be sure that these four people were killed at night?"

Baihu hesitated for a moment and said: "To be honest with Master, on the night Guanzhu Wu was killed, we drank together. Early the next morning, Guanzhu Wu's head was found hanging on the flagpole of the school ground. Naturally, he was killed at night."

While the two were talking, Yao Pei had already arrived in front of the corpse. His eyes turned snow-white at some point, and his eyes were as if they were real, as if they were trying to penetrate the texture and reach inside.

After a while, Yao Pei's eyes returned to normal and he said: "This Master Wu had his heart pulse broken by a secret force from the air. The method was very clever. If it was just an ordinary person doing an autopsy, unless the chest cavity was directly opened and the heart was taken out for examination, it would be very difficult. Hard to find.”

Qi Xuansu asked directly: "Is it a secret association that committed the crime?"

Yao Pei shook his head and said: "I'm not sure, but just from the perspective of killing methods, it's not like the style of Lingshan Witch Cult and Zhiming Cult. Ziguang Society likes people to die quietly, but they will never kill people and then kill them." The head was hung on the flagpole to provoke the Taoists."

Qi Xuansu asked: "Could it be that Ziguang Society killed someone, and then Lingshan Witch Cult hung the head on the flagpole?"

Yao Pei did not speak, but looked at Qi Xuansu with a look similar to when he heard "Jianxiu Mountain Lord Heren".

Qi Xuansu coughed lightly: "Just kidding."

Yao Pei ignored him and continued: "No matter what his background, the murderer cannot be compared with Zhang Wuhen, nor is he far inferior to Mr. Yin. With the strength of you and me, it shouldn't be a problem."

Qi Xuansu said dumbly: "How many people in the world can compare with these two?"

While they were talking, another Qingluan Guard came to report that someone was drinking and causing trouble in the Taiping Inn in the city. The ordinary government officials had no choice but to ask Qingluan Guard to suppress them.

Qi Xuansu said: "If you kill someone, instead of running away, you want to see who he is. Please ask hundreds of households to lead the way."

Upon hearing this, all the Qingluan Guards became emboldened and ordered their hands to lead Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei to the Taiping Inn.

When the group arrived outside Taiping Inn, they saw that the innkeeper and shopkeeper had escaped and were standing on the street outside the door, not daring to go in. After seeing Qi Xuansu and Yao Pei, they all showed joy. After all, Taiping Inn is a Taoist property, and meeting the two Taoist masters was like meeting one of their own family members.

The shopkeeper came up to us and said, "The mage has finally arrived. Please ask the mage to provide justice for us."

Qi Xuansu looked up to the second floor and asked, "What is going on?"

The shopkeeper said with a bitter face: "Master Mingjian, it's a group of gangsters who made an appointment to discuss things in our inn, but for some reason, they started fighting after they disagreed with each other, and they all have good cultivation. There's nothing we can do about them. , can only escape."

While talking, Yao Pei had already stepped into the first floor.

Seeing this, Qi Xuansu also walked in.

Seeing the support of two Taoist masters, Baihu and the shopkeeper became emboldened and followed closely behind.

Yao Pei had just climbed up the stairs to the second floor when she saw a figure flying towards her.

She had no expression on her face, but waved her sleeves and used her out-of-body true energy to lightly hold the flying person, and then waved her sleeves again and threw the person aside.

Qi Xuansu followed behind Yao Pei and could see clearly.

At this time, there was only one person sitting upstairs, tall, with sword-like eyebrows and tiger eyes, wearing a coarse cloth, very simple, but there were many wine jars on the table in front of him.

There was a circle of people around him, holding weapons and staring at him, but there was a gap in the encirclement, and it was obvious that one person was missing, which was expected to be the person who flew towards Yao Pei.

Then the big man laughed proudly: "You rotten fish and shrimps dare to come to me to cause trouble."

However, the big man's eyes fell on Yao Pei. His throw just now contained hidden power, and it would turn into a rolling gourd if it touched him. This woman's behavior was slow and she seemed weak, but she easily resolved the hidden power. She was indeed a strong opponent.

After Yao Pei stood still, he said expressionlessly: "Gathering a crowd to cause trouble and destroying property in the name of the Taoist sect should be sentenced to three months of detention and labor and ordered to compensate for all losses. If you refuse to admit your guilt and openly resist, you will be charged with contempt for the Taoist sect."

The few people standing only realized the existence of Yao Pei belatedly. Looking back, they saw the "Chu Zhen Jing Lu" hanging around Yao Pei and Qi Xuansu's waists, and their faces turned pale and they said in a lost voice: "Dao Daomen"

Before the voice fell, the few people stopped besieging the big man, but retreated to the window together. Someone said without thinking: "It's a disaster, it's a disaster, we have provoked the Taoist dog."

Qi Xuansu frowned slightly. He was born in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. Regardless of whether he was dissatisfied with the Taoist sect, he would not deny his identity as a Taoist. So the term "Taoist dog" made him very uncomfortable.

Yao Pei was indifferent to this and looked at the big man: "You killed the master of the local Taoist temple?"

"You are talking about that thief Wu Yonggui, right?" The big man was not afraid at all, "This man not only amassed a lot of money, but also lured female pilgrims into doing improper things in the name of sex techniques. As far as I know, more than one woman came to burn incense, but was imprisoned in the Taoist temple by this man and became his forbidden food. He also ordered these women to dress up as nuns to hide their tracks. I went to the Taoist temple last night and happened to run into this old guy again. Hu Tian Hu Di, or a drama of one dragon and two phoenixes, I simply cut off this man's head and hung it on the flagpole of the Qingluan Guard training ground. Who let the Qingluan Guard be blind and blind? "

"So that's it." Yao Pei nodded, "This man does have a way to die, but he should not die in your hands, but should be punished by the Taoist sect."

The big man sneered: "You Taoist sects are not doing anything, I am getting rid of harm for the people, is there anything wrong?"

Qi Xuansu's heart was cold, but he didn't say anything.

This reminded him of Wan Xiuwu and Yue Liuli. The Taoist sect was also inactive, and he also bypassed the Taoist sect to do it himself, but it was no different from this big man. From this point of view, he really had no position to blame this big man.

People should not be too double-standard.

But what Yao Pei said was not wrong. The Taoist sect would never allow such a thing to happen. If everyone went to enforce justice, then where would the Taoist sect be?

Yao Pei did not answer the big man's question, but looked at the other group of people: "Who are you?"

The group looked at each other and did not answer.

Yao Pei did not care, and looked at the big man again: "Doing justice for the heavens and doing justice are the contents of the storybooks, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes. To be fair, I don't care about the so-called right and wrong, good and evil, I only care about order."

"Even if it is an internal fight in the Taoist sect, they are all covered up, for fear of leaving any evidence, and they dare not openly violate the rules. After the incident, they would rather take the risk of destroying the evidence than to confirm the crime. If you secretly killed someone and then ran away, I would not necessarily pursue it to the end, but if you provoke after killing someone, whether you want to warn others or want to show the world, it is damaging the authority of the Taoist sect. If the Taoist sect is indifferent, others will follow suit, and most people in the world are afraid of it. If a person has power but no virtue, the order that Taoism has worked so hard to establish will be damaged. "

"So-called justice is too subjective. Your justice is not my justice. Even if there are immortals and Buddhas everywhere, can the justice of Buddha represent the justice of Taoism? Then who is qualified to judge justice? Therefore, the law is not to maintain justice, and it can't even maintain fairness. It just maintains order. "

"Maybe you are right, but you have damaged the authority of Taoism and destroyed the order of Taoism. I must get rid of you and maintain the order of Taoism. Unless you can be like the ancient immortals, backed by Buddhism, so that Taoism can't do anything. "

Qi Xuansu inexplicably had a feeling that although Yao Pei was talking to the big man on the surface, these words were said to him.
