From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 269 Questioning
Meng Yuan was familiar with Chongxu Temple.

The first time he came was with the Third Miss, and later he brought Nie Qingqing with him, brought Jiang Yatou with him, and also brought Xiangling and Dugu Kang with him. Among them, he brought Xiangling with him the most times, and she had already become familiar with the people in the temple.

But I came again today, not to protect my benefactor, nor to bring a companion, but to pay a visit to my superior.

I didn't see Zhao Jingsheng, Yuan Jingfeng and others, and I didn't know what happened to them and Cangshan Jun in the end.

Meng Yuan really couldn't take care of it because he was not strong enough at that time, and Lord Cangshan really had no intention of harming anyone.

"Where are Taoist Zhao Jingsheng and others from Chongxu Temple?" Meng Yuan asked the young centurion.

"In the back mountain." The young captain did not hide it. "It seems that they are discussing something with their fellow disciples. We should not disturb them."

"Where is Taoist Xuanjizi?" Meng Yuan asked again.

"Master Xuanji has gone to Ping'an Prefecture." The young centurion replied.

"Is the purple light that day really from Taoist Master Xuanjizi?" Meng Yuan asked.

"Yes." The young captain looked at Meng Yuan again and said, "Master Xuanjizi has great powers. When he was young, he liked to wear purple clothes. I heard that he was hurt by love later, so he put on the tattered Taoist robe."

Seeing that he had said so much, Meng Yuan asked, "I haven't asked for your name yet."

"I am Wang Buyi." The young captain smiled, "Captain Lin was also my superior."

It turned out that he was not a outsider. Meng Yuan bowed.

The two of them exchanged a few words and then came out of the hall.

Before Wang Buzhi could report, he heard a commotion in the hall, as if Venerable Dawei was giving a press conference.

"Wait a moment." Wang Buyi's expression remained unchanged. He went into the hall to report, and then came out again.

"Wait a minute, there's a quarrel going on inside." Wang Buyi said with a smile.

Meng Yuan could only stand outside the hall with Wang Buyi and listen quietly.

The people in the hall did not shy away from speaking out. Some said that they should send all the masters in the country to attack Qing Guangzi; others said that the matter should be handed over to Lanruo Temple, and their monks were willing to deal with Qing Guangzi; others said that the Taoist sect should eliminate demons and defend the way of Taoism.

"That's enough!" Wang Er's tired voice came from the hall, "Do you really think that a third-rank Buddhist Bodhisattva is easy to deal with? Someone who has experienced it firsthand has come outside, let him tell us what happened at that time."

"Let's go." After hearing this, Wang Buyi took Meng Yuan inside.

It was quite dark in the hall, and a woman was sitting at the head, who was Wang Er.

There were two middle-aged men in their forties or fifties at the bottom, one of them was Xiao Taotao and the other should also be the commander.

Xiao Taotao's white clothes were whiter than snow, but his handsome face looked a bit tired. It seemed that he had been criticized a lot in the past few days. After all, he was the one who presided over the Hulu Mountain incident. The other man had a white beard, a blank expression on his face, and his eyes were dull. He didn't look like a martial arts master.

There were three people sitting opposite him, all of them were old men. Judging from their attire, they were from the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. The Taoist priest among them was the one I had seen before, Taoist priest Ren from the Imperial Master's Mansion.

The old monk didn't recognize the person standing behind him, who was Monk Jueming.

The old scholar didn't recognize him either. The person standing behind him was a middle-aged man. Everyone in the hall shifted their gazes and examined Meng Yuan.

For a moment, Meng Yuan felt that the three Confucianists, Buddhists and Taoists were not ordinary people, and he seemed to be seen through.

Activating the Heart-burning Technique, Meng Yuan stepped forward and bowed to Wang Er, saying, "Meng Yuan, a captain of the Songhe Prefecture Guard of the Demon Suppression Division, greets Governor Wang!"

"You are full of energy and spirit, and your eyes are shining. You look revitalized and focused, and you don't look depressed." Wang Er smiled and asked, "When did you enter the sixth level?"

"This morning." Meng Yuan said.

Wang Er nodded slightly and moved his fingers, as if calculating how long it took Meng Yuan to reach the sixth level.

"Are you Meng Feiyuan?" The old monk was actually not that old, with thick black eyebrows, and looked younger than Master Jueming behind him.

"That's right." Meng Yuan bowed, "Thank you very much for the unique skill of Bodhi Extermination of Lanruo Temple, otherwise I would never be here today."

"Amitabha." The old monk put his hands together and said compassionately, "There is no skill to kill in the world, only the desire to kill. Since the little donor can inspire Bodhi to destroy the Tao, it can be seen that if you have a compassionate heart and supreme perseverance, you don't have to be confined to the differences between the three religions or the differences between the sects."

"Meng Feiyuan," Xiao Taotao said, "tell me about what happened that day, from the time you went to Qingshui Town and then met Gong Zihua and others, to what you saw and heard in the city. Tell me who you met and who took action. Tell me in detail."

There was nothing to hide. At that time, Meng Yuan took Xiangling into the mountains to hold a poetry meeting, and then he started killing to save Xiangling.

Afterwards, he went down the mountain and was ambushed by Xie Yishen and others. He saw the change in Qingshui Town and then entered the city again, just in time for the change in Jingyuan.

Finally, they fled the city in a hurry and escaped.

Meng Yuan did not hide anything and told everything he had seen and encountered. Wang Er and Xiao Taotao did not ask anything, but the three Confucianists, Buddhists and Taoists interrupted from time to time and asked about the details.

"The method that the man in black used at the end, was it really the Mayfly World?" Taoist Ren was not as cold and indifferent as when they first met. Instead, he leaned forward, stared at Meng Yuan, and asked, "There are countless magical powers of warriors, and there are countless methods of breaking fate and fighting to the death. There are also many methods of accumulating power, such as the transformation of dragons and snakes, the lying golden toad, etc. Are you really sure that the man in black used the Mayfly World?"

"Yes." Meng Yuan said.

"Mayfly world, great! A mayfly can see the blue sky. Others want to destroy the Ying family's survival with the mayfly world, but isn't the Ying family the blue sky? But mayflies can't fly high, so why are you afraid of the blue sky when you see it!" Taoist Ren sneered, "Mayflies are just mayflies, with short lifespan and weak power, they are useless!"

The old scholar sighed and refused to say more. The old monk from Lanruo Temple put his hands together and chanted Buddhist mantras.

"Excuse me, Taoist priest, where does that man in black belong to?" Meng Yuan asked loudly.

Taoist Ren raised his eyebrows and saw Meng Yuan's eyes were shining. He put his hand on the hilt of the knife and said, "Don't think that just because you killed a person of higher rank, you can kill everyone. Mayflies are incapable. What can carry mayflies is a dirty sewage pool. You are not strong enough to walk on water now."

This meant that the people behind the man in black were very powerful, so Meng Yuan did not ask any more questions and just waited to find the third young lady the next day.

"I've heard a lot from you. In other words, you escorted Ying out of the city and fled to Hedong County for refuge?" The other commander beside Xiao Taotao looked at Meng Yuan and said, "More than half of the guards in Songhe Prefecture were killed or wounded, and Zhang Guinian even died in the line of duty. You made a fuss outside the city first, and then went straight to Jingyuan. Are you a guard of Ying, or a centurion of the Demon Suppression Division?"

"So what if he is a guard of the Ying family? So what if he is a captain of the Demon Suppression Bureau?" Meng Yuan straightened his back, pressed the hilt of the sword at his waist, and looked at the man.

The man sneered, glanced at the knife in Meng Yuan's hand, and said, "You are a young man to be feared. You dare to show your murderous intent."

Everyone looked at Meng Yuan, seemingly encouraging him, and even Wang Er became excited.
