Chapter 241

Qingcheng Mountain?
That is Dujiangyan, not Fengdu.

From this perspective, if this is the clue of the waves, at least the current direction is not what the emperor wants to see.

So, this means that in the game between Heaven and the Great Emperor written in Brother Xiaoyuan’s code of conduct, Heaven won?
Tan Wenbin waved his finger forward, and the two children left his shoulders, floated to the back, and began to push the wheelchair.

Brother Xiaoyuan had "Four Ghosts Lifting a Sedan Chair", and now Tan Wenbin also has "Two Ghosts Pushing a Cart".

But this is also a kind of magic. Any special movements of the two children now will make Tan Wenbin's coldness worse and more painful.

"Ok?"

The Taoist priest moved his peach wood sword in front of him, touched the hilt and then the blade. Why did he feel that the sword was hotter than usual?

"Taoist Master, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, keep going."

Just like that, under the moonlight, the Taoist priest and the middle-aged man walked in front, followed by a wheelchair that was moving on its own.

"Master, this is the house. Look at the other houses in the village, and then look at this one. This house is so shabby."

"Alas, the two children are really suffering in such a home. So, let me save them from suffering."

The Taoist priest first took a step forward and chanted a spell. In order to avoid disturbing the people in the house, he kept his voice very low. After the preliminary preparations, the Taoist priest pasted a talisman on his head and limbs, and finally took a piece of yellow paper and blocked it with the peach wood sword.

The tip of the sword raised, but the yellow paper did not move.

The Taoist priest was stunned, then picked it again, but there was still no change.

The Taoist priest simply made up his mind and continuously hit the yellow paper with the tip of his sword. Sparks flew out in the middle, but they quickly went out and were far from being enough to ignite.

The middle-aged man didn't understand these things, but he could see that something seemed to be wrong.

"Taoist Priest..."

"Give me your lighter."

"okay."

The Taoist priest took the lighter and with a "click", a flame came out, lighting the yellow paper.

In the past, with the same process, the yellow paper should have burned quickly into ashes. I don’t know what happened tonight.

After the yellow paper was burned out, the Taoist priest could only guess in his heart that it was probably because the air in the coastal areas was humid and his yellow paper had become damp.

After completing the last step, the Taoist priest gestured to the middle-aged man to wait here, and he walked inside alone.

The door was locked. The Taoist priest thrust the peach wood sword inside and pushed it again, and the bolt fell. Then he pushed the door open and walked in.

Outside, the middle-aged man was waiting anxiously.

Tan Wenbin, who was sitting in a wheelchair next to him, also frowned.

He had the ability to stop this, but his own intervention would likely cut off the clue.

The most rational and cold-blooded approach would be to sit back and watch the Taoist "steal" the child, let them go back to Qingcheng Mountain, and then use this as an excuse to go to Qingcheng Mountain to rescue and find the child, thus confirming the causal line.

Tan Wenbin knew that this was Grandma Wang Lian's home. She was Old Lady Liu's poker friend, and it was obvious that there was a connection that could be made.

Soon, the Taoist priest came out, followed by two children. Each of them had a talisman stuck on their forehead. They were not crying or making any noise, and had their eyes closed, as if they were sleepwalking.

Seeing the child being brought out, the confusion in Tan Wenbin's heart disappeared.

The Taoist priest was full of confidence and stopped the middle-aged man from going forward and carrying the children. Instead, he pointed the wooden sword forward, and the two children naturally followed their pace.

In response, the Taoist priest explained: "There is no need to do this. We are not here to 'steal' the child, we are here to save the child."

The middle-aged man's face twitched when he heard this, but he still agreed: "The Taoist priest is right. The car is parked at the entrance of the village road. Let's go a little faster."

The Taoist priest stroked his goat beard and slightly quickened his pace.

His original intention was to speed up, but once the speed increased, the two children who were following him became disordered in their steps and their bodies began to shake.

Seeing this, the Taoist priest could only cough lightly and slow down his pace.

Tan Wenbin's wheelchair followed them all the way to the village road, where a car was parked.

When the middle-aged man went to open the car door, Tan Wenbin's eyes fell on him. At first, they were extremely gloomy, but soon, they lowered the intensity and became a little softer.

"what……"

The middle-aged man felt as if his neck was being strangled by an invisible big hand. He could not breathe at all. He had to let go of the car door handle and kneel on the ground.

"What's wrong with you?" The Taoist priest looked puzzled. He stepped forward to check and asked, "Do you have asthma? Do you have medicine with you?"

The middle-aged man wanted to explain that he was not sick, but he could only wave his hands. No matter how wide he opened his mouth, no sound came out.

At this moment, the Taoist priest finally realized the nature of the problem. He immediately took out a piece of talisman paper and stuck it on the middle-aged man's forehead.

This talisman paper can change into seven colors, representing seven different intensities of evil spirits.

However, the talisman caught fire as soon as it was pasted on.

The Taoist priest's eyes widened in fear, and he looked around in panic, trembling and scolding:
"Who is this evildoer? How dare you do this in broad daylight!"

What responded to him was the palpitations from the bottom of his heart.

"hiss……"

The Taoist priest covered his chest and knelt down, as if he had a sudden heart attack.

The next moment, Tan Wenbin cleared the miasma in front of him, revealing his figure.

At present, Tan Wenbin has gray hair, a haggard face, and a strong aura of death. Without any disguise, he looks like an evil ghost.

The two children floated towards the Taoist priest and the middle-aged man respectively, murmuring silently and injecting spells into their bodies.

This is a delayed curse. If the person who is cursed cannot find a way to break it in time, his physical condition will become worse and worse. Within a month, his intestines will be ruptured and he will die of a strange disease.

Moreover, the two children can sense the location of the spell they cast.

After the spell was completed, the two children floated back to Tan Wenbin.

At the same time, Tan Wenbin also lifted his suppression on the middle-aged man and the Taoist priest.

The middle-aged man looked at Tan Wenbin with horror, his chest heaving violently.

The Taoist priest was also very scared, but he still instinctively took out a small talisman bag folded into a square from his sleeve and threw it towards Tan Wenbin.

The two children wanted to intercept him, but were stopped by Tan Wenbin with his consciousness.

But even though Tan Wenbin did nothing to stop it, in his panic, most of the talisman bags thrown by the Taoist priest deviated and scattered to other places, and only one hit Tan Wenbin's neck.

Tan Wenbin is already filled with ghostly aura, so this talisman bag is more or less effective. In addition, Tan Wenbin deliberately does not suppress it, so as to maximize the effect of the talisman bag.

"His..."

A small charred spot appeared on the neck.

Tan Wenbin was very dissatisfied with the casualties.

He had no choice but to signal the two children to continue pushing the wheelchair forward, thus putting even greater pressure on the Taoist priest.

"Ah, for the sake of justice, kill the evil demons!"

The Taoist priest decided to take a gamble and rushed towards Tan Wenbin with a peach wood sword in hand.

Tan Wenbin still did not stop him, but silently signaled the child to remember to adjust the position when pushing the wheelchair.

"puff……"

The peach wood sword pierced Tan Wenbin's right arm, and the evil-killing aura on the sword began to react with the ghost energy in his body.

Then soon, the peach wood sword began to turn black.

Obviously, the material and quality of the sword were not up to standard. Not only did it fail to purify the evil spirits, but it was instead contaminated by them.

That won't do. Not even a drop of blood came out.

Tan Wenbin signaled the two children to continue pushing the wheelchair forward so that the peach wood sword could penetrate deeper. Finally, it penetrated and bleeding occurred.

Originally, Tan Wenbin wanted to continue to inflict more injuries, but when the Taoist priest saw that the evil spirit he stabbed not only did not retreat but instead charged towards him, he was so scared that his hands trembled, and the peach wood sword fell to the ground, then he turned around and ran away.

Seeing that the Taoist priest had run away, the middle-aged man did not dare to delay. He first climbed up using his hands and feet, but he fell down after running a few steps. Then he rolled and crawled to catch up with the Taoist priest's back.

Not only did they abandon the two children who had sneaked out here, they also parked the car here.

Tan Wenbin looked at one of his godsons and said:
"Go to Uncle Li's house and ask Brother Xiaoyuan for help. Tell him that the other party is very skilled and I am seriously injured and in imminent danger."

The godson blinked his ghost eyes, obviously, he couldn't understand such lies.

"go."

The godson turned into a black shadow and floated towards Li Sanjiang's house.

Tan Wenbin saved the two children of Wang Lian's family. But if he wanted to keep this causal line going, he could only add causalities to it on his own initiative, such as the "revenge line" after he was "seriously injured".

The Taoist priest had some skills, but that was all. Tan Wenbin was capable of killing them both directly.

But not only can we not kill them, we can't arrest them either, because if we arrest them, we may get into subsequent disputes. What if the Taoist temple comes to look for someone, and they admit their mistakes with a good attitude or even simply decide to kill their relatives for the sake of justice and clean up their own house? What should we do then?
We have to scare them away and release them. Then it will be easy to follow this route to Qingcheng Mountain.

In addition, Tan Wenbin was not worried that his "lie" would make Brother Xiaoyuan worry. As soon as Brother Xiaoyuan saw that his godson, to whom he had delivered the message, was in good condition, he would know that he was definitely fine.

Just as Tan Wenbin was sitting in the wheelchair and shrank back, a figure suddenly jumped out from his side and continued to chase in the direction where the Taoist priest and the other two had fled at an extremely fast speed.

At this speed, it probably won’t take long to catch those two.

"Ahyou..."

Lord Baihe couldn't hear anything and just kept running.

Tan Wenbin had no choice but to cast a spell at the figure that was about to run out of the range of his spell.

As the spell was cast, Lin Shuyou stopped, his vertical pupils flickered, and divine power flowed through his body, quickly suppressing the spell.

"Brother Bin?"

Lin Shuyou walked back, scratching his head in confusion.

"I let them both run away on purpose, don't chase them."

"what?"

Tan Wenbin moved his fingertips to completely dispel the curse on Ah You, then looked at the two children with talismans on their foreheads and said:
"Take these two children back to Grandma Wang Lian's house and tell them that you saw them being stolen by two human traffickers on the village road and that you saved them.

The human traffickers were scared away by you, and the car was still parked there.

Well, call the police by the way."

"Okay, Brother Bin."

Lin Shuyou immediately did as he was told.

Soon, there was a movement in the village. Not only were there the cries of fear from Wang Lian's family, but nearby neighbors also began to notify other villagers to check on their own children.

It is really scary that this group of human traffickers dared to break into the house in the middle of the night to steal the child.

The police arrived soon and towed the car away as evidence.

The license plate has the word "Chuan" on it. It was driven here from Chengdu. If nothing unexpected happens, the vehicle information should also be registered under the name of that middle-aged man.

The main reason was that the two were not professional human traffickers, and when they came to steal the children, they did not expect any accidents to happen, so they left a lot of clues.

On the dam of Big Beard’s house.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Brother Binbin, you did a great job."

Tan Wenbin: “It’s all thanks to the Code of Conduct for Walking Along the River.”

"From the current perspective, the Great Emperor should have lost this game. The Great Emperor misjudged our position in the heart of Heavenly Dao."

The river water was led by the emperor in his direction, but unfortunately... Sichuan and Chongqing are too big.

Li Zhuiyuan looked at Yin Meng and continued, "Meng Meng, is there any meat at home?"

Yin Meng: "Yes, but it's for cooking tomorrow."

"Take it and practice for a while, then make an offering to your ancestors."

"Okay, Brother Xiaoyuan."

Yin Meng took out the "practice materials" and started the process. After the poisonous insect sank into the piece of meat, the meat quickly rotted and the insects crawled out one by one, gradually dividing into two sequences.

One group crawled on the ground around Yin Meng, while the other group flapped its wings and flew around Yin Meng.

After a while, the flying insects fell down and started crawling, and the crawling insects flew up and started circling. Everything seemed in order.

Li Zhuiyuan: “Very good.”

Yin Meng: "Brother Xiaoyuan, I'm thinking about mixing toxins. A single insect cannot withstand the poison. I thought of adding non-toxic or weakly toxic ones to them, and then when attacking, they will be arranged and combined to form a new poison."

"It's a good idea, and it's very feasible. But before that, I think you need to consider how to shorten the initial steps so that it can be more practical."

"Well, I'm trying my best. Please give me some more time."

"Offer it."

"it is good."

Yin Meng began to burn paper for the sacrifice. This time, the yellow paper was burned normally and no words appeared in the wine bowl.

Li Zhuiyuan: "This is completely confirmed."

Tan Wenbin: "Last time we went to the mountain city, I heard that the hot pot in Chengdu has a different flavor."

Yin Meng said happily: "Are we sure we are going to Rongcheng?"

Although she was not going back to her hometown directly, Yin Meng was still very excited to hear her hometown accent again.

Li Zhuiyuan: "When Uncle Shan comes, I will help Runsheng regain consciousness."

Tan Wenbin looked at the still dark night and said, "Uncle Shan should be here soon."

According to Uncle Shan's previous habit, he would come early and have a free breakfast.

Uncle Li also dotes on Uncle Shan. Even in the morning, he would ask Aunt Liu to cook some rice and stir-fry a few dishes, and would not let Uncle Shan drink porridge.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Mengmeng, when Ah You comes back, you should notify him and continue to pay attention to the situation around you. It would be best if you can get one or two more clues about the waves."

"clear."

"clear."

Tan Wenbin: "Who knows, maybe Mr. Li will go to draw prizes again tomorrow. If he draws a luxurious five-day tour to Chengdu, wouldn't it be too obvious?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Who knows, maybe the Heavenly Dao is angry about the Emperor's provocation this time, so it deliberately strikes back in this way? Besides, it is also a way to appease us."

Yin Meng: "It means that the way of heaven is actively protecting us."

Tan Wenbin: “This is the value of the united front we are promoting.”

Yin Meng: "At least for now, we are blessed by God."

Tan Wenbin: "You are the first person I have seen where the blessing of ancestors and the blessing of God are in conflict."

At this time, Li Sanjiang's anxious voice could be heard from outside:

"Xiao Yuan Hou~ Xiao Yuan Hou~ Where are you~"

He was awakened by the noise in the village at night and learned that human traffickers had entered Wang Lian's house late at night and both children had been abducted to the village entrance. Li Sanjiang was so shocked that he immediately went to his great-grandson's bedroom to check. He found that his great-grandson was not in the room. Li Sanjiang was so scared that he thought his own Xiao Yuanhou had also been abducted.

When he saw Li Zhuiyuan running towards him, Li Sanjiang breathed a sigh of relief and hugged the boy:

"Oh, you scared me."

"Grandpa, this is the child that was rescued by the human traffickers that Ah You chased away. I accompanied him to explain what happened to the police."

"It's all the fault of the messenger. He didn't explain clearly. Really."

Li Sanjiang was reluctant to blame Xiaoyuan for running out late at night, so he just held the boy's hand and led him home, not daring to let go for a moment on the way.

After returning home, Li Zhuiyuan just took a quick nap and heard some noise coming from downstairs.

It was Wang Lian and her husband who brought their two children to thank Lin Shuyou. Wang Lian asked the two children to kowtow to Lin Shuyou. Lin Shuyou was a little embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but under the gaze of Xiaoyuan, he had no choice but to accept.

The police have already identified the suspect through the license plate information. His surname is Ding and his name is Ding Shanquan. This matches the information provided by Wang Lian's family.

While the police were conducting a local search, they also notified the Chengdu police, asking them to help with the investigation and arrest, considering that the other party was likely to flee back to Chengdu after the attempt failed.

The dam was still bustling with activity when a hunchbacked figure came over there. It was none other than Uncle Shan.

He did arrive early, before breakfast, but he looked dejected and as if he was troubled by something.

Li Sanjiang stood on the dam with a cigarette in his mouth and asked, "What's the matter, you mountain gunner? Did you empty the rice jar again?"

Uncle Shan looked up at Li Sanjiang and said, "Where is Runsheng Hou..."

Li Sanjiang: "Didn't I tell you on the phone that Run Shenghou and Zhuangzhuang are on the construction site? If your Run Shenghou works hard with them, he might be able to become a contractor in the future. Isn't that much better than doing our old job?"

Uncle Shan: "Sanjiang, something happened to Runshenghou."

Li Sanjiang: "Nonsense, he is fine at the construction site, what happened?"

Uncle Shan stamped his feet anxiously: "I'm not lying to you, Sanjiang, something really happened to Run Shenghou. Something must have happened to him, my Run Shenghou!"

"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? Are you hysterical because of losing money?"

Uncle Shan sat down on the ground, took out wads of curled-up money from his pocket, and scattered them around:
"I'm f*cking winning money. I've been winning money these days!"
