Chapter 165 Jingyun County (2)

After Tang Ning knew the direction, he turned into a ray of light and flew away. In less than half a day, he arrived at Zhu Liao's practice place in Liyang County, which was a Taoist temple covering an extensive area.

This temple is built against a mountain, with mountains on its back and water on its back. There is no other house within ten miles around. Tang Ning walked straight into the temple and immediately alerted the monks in the temple. As soon as Fang Ning landed and appeared, two men came to meet him.

"This temple is where Senior Zhu meditates. I don't know who the senior is. What's the important thing about coming to this temple?" one of them said.

Tang Ning said: "I am a disciple of Qian Yizong. I have something to see Senior Brother Zhu. You go and report it."

"Senior, please wait a moment. Senior Zhu is not in this contemplation, but practicing in his cave. Allow us to go and report to you."

Tang Ning nodded, and the man flew away with his flying sword. This Taoist temple was actually an office assigned to him by the sect. It was used by the sect to communicate with Xuan Ying. Many disciples outside the sect did not like to be in the office. The practice is to choose a different place to build a cave.

"Senior, please come with me." Another person said, leading him into a hall: "Senior, please sit down quietly. I will take my leave first. If you have anything to do, I will just ask you."

Not long after the man left, he brought another cup of tea and a plate of fresh fruit.

After waiting for about an hour, an old man with white beard and hair and a dove-shaped face came from outside.

Tang Ning stood up and said, "Senior Brother Zhu, I am Tang Ning from the Intelligence Department. I have been ordered by the sect to come to Jiangdong to search for the whereabouts of the Demon Sect. I am here to trouble you." He handed the sect token to the old man.

Zhu Liao took the wooden sign, took a look at it and gave it back to him: "Junior Brother Tang is a disciple of the Intelligence Department and was ordered by the sect to investigate the whereabouts of the Demon Sect. Why did you come to my small temple? If you have any orders, please tell me."

Tang Ning said: "To be honest, there is information from Jiangdong reporting that Jingyun County has recently discovered the whereabouts of the Demon Sect's disciples. The purpose is unknown. Disciples from our department sent people to track them down, but they disappeared and were killed. Jingyun County is located near the Jingping Mountain Spirit Mine. The sect suspects that those Demon Sect disciples came to Jingping County to spy on the spiritual mines, and the purpose is to attack the spiritual mines, so I have been specifically ordered to find out."

"After I set out from the sect to Jiangdong, I lost the whereabouts of those Demon Sect disciples. There was also information that one of the Demon Sect disciples had contacts with Shen Linduo, a descendant of the Shen family. I heard that Senior Brother Zhu had an affair with the head of the Shen family, Shen Lin. Wen Jing has a close friendship with him, so he came here to ask Senior Brother Zhu as an introduction. He wants to meet the head of the Shen family and investigate the truth of the matter."

Zhu Liao immediately said: "Actually, I only have casual acquaintances with Daoyou Shen. As the head of Jiangdong, I do have some contacts with local powerful families, but they are all within the scope of sect affairs. It is natural for Junior Brother Tang to meet Daoyou Shen. It's a trivial matter. I will take you to the Shen family to confront his children. If he really colludes with the Demon Sect, I will report it to the sect immediately."

When he heard that the Shen family had some obscure relationship with the Demon Sect, he immediately distanced himself from it to avoid getting into trouble.

The two of them left the Taoist temple and went straight to Huayang County. After walking for two hours, they arrived at the Shen family's house. The house is located among the mountains and ridges, covering an area of ​​more than a hundred acres. There are no homes nearby.

The two of them landed directly in the courtyard of their mansion, and soon a man came to greet them: "Master Zhu is coming here, but I am not welcomed from afar. I wonder what the important business is for Master Zhu to suddenly come to my humble residence? Can I inform my father?"

Zhu Liao nodded slightly: "Go! Just tell Zhu Liao to come to visit."

"Yes, Master Zhu, please wait in the hall later. I will go and report to my father." The man said, picked up the magical weapon and left.

The two of them were led by a maid to the living room. Not long after, a tall and burly middle-aged man with a chin and a tiger neck walked in. He cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhu, why don't you say hello in advance when you come to this humble house? How many people are there?" I apologize for the neglect."

After speaking, he glanced at Tang Ning: "I wonder who this fellow Taoist is?"

Zhu Liao said: "Fellow Daoist Shen, let me introduce you. This is Junior Brother Tang from the Intelligence Department of our sect. He was ordered by the sect to come to Jiangdong to trace the whereabouts of the Demon Sect. This time, I was entrusted by him to bring him here. Meet fellow Taoists."

Shen Wenjing said: "It turns out that he is the immortal envoy of the Shangzong. He is disrespectful and disrespectful. I wonder if my Taoist friend from the Tang Dynasty came to the humble residence to give me some advice?"

"I wonder who your Taoist friend Shen Lin is?"

"It's my nephew, what's wrong with him?"

"When we were tracing the whereabouts of the Demon Sect, we found that your nephew had many contacts with the Demon Sect's disciples, so we came to inquire."

Hearing this, Shen Wenjing's expression suddenly changed, and he spoke anxiously: "Please believe, fellow Taoist Tang, that although I, Shen Wenjing, am a vulgar person, I will not do such an extremely stupid thing. My family has many friends with the Sect. It can even be said that my family is now prosperous thanks to the care of our ancestors. I swear to God that I will never do anything to collude with the Demon Sect."

"I believe what Fellow Daoist Shen said, so I went to bother Senior Brother Zhu and come with him to find out. Even though my nephew is collaborating with the disciples of the Demon Sect, it should be his personal behavior and has nothing to do with the Shen family. I It's clear. Please call my nephew to come out and see you. There are some things I want to ask clearly."

"Thank you Taoist fellow Taoist Tang for your trust. Please rest assured. If that beast really colludes with the Demon Sect, I will kill him." Shen Wenjing said, and shouted: "Here comes someone."

A man outside the door came in and saluted: "Father, what are your orders?"

"Go and bring this beast Shen Lin to me."

The man was stunned for a moment, and Shen Wenjing said angrily: "Didn't you hear what I said? Tie up this beast Shen Lin."

"Yes." The man responded and left the hall.

The three of them waited for a long time, and then the man walked in with a well-looking man with oily hair and powdered noodles. He was tied tightly with a thick hemp stone, and he was really tied up.

"Beast, kneel down." Shen Wenjing shouted.

The man knelt down with a bang, raised his head and asked with aggrieved face: "Uncle, I don't know what my nephew has committed, and he wants to tie me up to hold me accountable."

"Okay! Now that you feel aggrieved, let me ask you whether you have colluded with the disciples of the Demon Sect and are colluding with each other."

When Shen Lin heard this, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately called him over: "Uncle, you are wronged! My nephew has never known any disciples of the Demon Sect. Where did the collusion come from? Someone must have instigated him to frame my nephew."

The man next to him also said: "Father, although Brother Lin is a bit of a playboy and hangs around for fun, if you say that he colludes with the Demon Sect, I will never believe it. Even if he has such intention and courage, there is no way to do so. Ah! This matter may be framed by someone."

"Asshole." Shen Jingwen roared: "Fellow Taoist Tang is the Immortal Envoy of the Qianyi Sect. This time he went to Jiangdong to investigate the whereabouts of the Demon Sect. He found out about your dealings with the Demon Sect's disciples and came to my residence to inform you. Could it be that he will frame you?" "

Shen Lin looked at Tang Ning, his eyes full of pleading: "Senior, please be aware that I, Shen Lin, swear to God that I will never collude with the disciples of the Demon Sect. Someone must be trying to frame me to death. Please be aware of this, senior!"

Tang Ning waved his hand and untied the rope from his body, and said: "I came to your house this time to investigate this matter. If you really collude with the Demon Sect, then what will happen if the family has its own laws and the sect has its own rules? You are generally aware of the consequences. If our intelligence is wrong, then we can just clear your name."

"Your Shen family is also well-known in the local area. I don't want this matter to cause uproar in the city, so I came to your house. Now if I ask you, you must answer truthfully. If you dare to hide even a word, you will be responsible for the consequences. I will not do it again. I have the leisure to ask a second time, do you understand?"

Shen Lin hurriedly said: "Yes, this junior knows. This junior will definitely tell you everything he knows and will not dare to deceive even a single word."

"Nine days ago, did you drink and have fun with others at Zuihua Tower?"

"Yes." Shen Lin thought for a while and replied.

"Who is he? Whose name is he? Where he lives? How do you know each other? Tell me one by one."

"That man has no surname, his name is Qing Linzi, and he is a casual cultivator. He and I have known each other more than twenty years ago. Because I like drinking and having fun, I often go to Honghuafang to play, and he also goes there to play occasionally. We got to know each other as soon as we went back and forth. He lives in no fixed place, sometimes sleeping in a ruined temple, sometimes in the mountains. I have never looked for him, he always comes to me to have fun."

"Can you draw a picture of what it looks like?"

"Okay." Shen Lin replied

Shen Jingwen said: "Bring this beast a pen and paper."

After the man walked out, he came back with paper, ink, pen and inkstone. Shen Lin leaned in front of the desk and started writing like a rain. In a short time, he had finished the drawing and presented it to him.

Tangning took a look and took out a portrait from her storage bag. She handed the two portraits to Shen Jingwen: "This is one of our targets. His identity should be a disciple of the Demon Sect. We will send people to follow him." Those people wanted to find out their true purpose, but they discovered it and poisoned them."

Seeing this, Shen Jingwen couldn't help but became furious. He flashed in front of Shen Lin and slapped Shen Lin on the left side of his cheek with a snap, sending him flying and hitting the ground hard.

Shen Jingwen put the two portraits on his face: "You beast, what can you say? My Shen family was almost dragged into a place of no return by you."

Shen Lin's face was covered with blood, and his left cheek immediately became red and swollen. He took the portrait and took a look at it, and cried loudly: "It's unfair! Uncle, my nephew was wronged. My nephew didn't know that he was a disciple of the Demon Sect. My nephew only thought that he was an ordinary cultivator. Unexpectedly, he is a member of the Demon Sect. If he knew his details, my nephew would not dare to interact with him even if he had a hundred courages."

"I usually tell you to pay more attention to your practice, but you just don't listen. You hang out in the alleys all day long, fraternizing with some friends of unknown origin. Now that you are afraid of human evidence and material evidence, you say you don't know his identity. Who can? Prove it and I will kill you right now." Shen Wenjing said, using his palm as a sword and about to swing it down.

Tang Ning said: "Don't get angry, Fellow Daoist Shen. It's better to find out more about it. Even if your nephew really colludes with the Demon Sect, it won't be too late to deal with it after I finish asking questions."

As Shen Jingwen walked back to his seat, Tang Ning said, "Shen Lin, what Fellow Daoist Shen just said is right. You said you don't know his identity. Can anyone prove it?"
