On the east side of the official road, there is a stretch of rolling hills, almost running in the same direction as the official road.

Ma Chao led the group under his command who did not accept them at night, afraid of being discovered by Qin Shaoyou and others, instead of taking the official route, they walked through the hills, using the cover of trees and terrain to follow and follow them condescendingly.

Seeing a group of people rushing to join Qin Shaoyou, Qin Qiaoer and the others, Ma Chao took out a binocular called clairvoyance from his arms with a gloomy expression, wanting to see what they had been searching for for many days but could not find. What does a person look like?

On this clairvoyance made of bronze, engraved with circles of mysterious runes, combined to form a pattern similar to an eye, making this clairvoyance, although it is not a supernatural item, it can also make the user, See people and things far away clearly.

With the help of clairvoyance, Ma Chao quickly saw Monk Ma and Monk Gun.

After all, the figure of this human and monster is so huge that it is difficult for people not to notice.

After seeing their appearance clearly, Ma Chao's face became even more ugly in an instant.

Because these two guys had been seen by Ma Chao in previous search operations.

He even had a conversation with Monk Ma.

The place where Monk Ma is hiding is in a temple.

In that temple, besides him, there were some common people who had escaped from the war.

And Ma Chao found that the people beside Monk Ma were also a little familiar, as if he had seen them among the people who escaped the war.

In fact, when Ma Chao discovered Monk Ma and others, it was not that he had not done investigations, but Monk Ma talked about the Buddhist scriptures clearly and wisely, and there was a faint Buddha-nature in him, so he didn't look like a court eagle.

And at that time, Monk Ma also borrowed the name of Monk Daoming.

Although Ma Chao and the others had never met Monk Daoming, they had heard that in Xinglong Mansion, there was indeed a monk named Daoming who was helping the deceased to bring the ashes back to their hometown for burial.

Looking at Monk Ma again, he really looks like an eminent monk who has attained the Tao, so he believes in his identity 70% to 80%.

And those red-clothed envoys who were among the people fleeing the war did not know what method they used to cover up their cultivation, and they all acted very timid and cowardly, speaking with the accent of Qingtangwei, so they didn't call They are suspicious.

It never occurred to him that the monks in the temple, as well as the beggar-like refugees, were all disguised as red-clothed emissaries!

As for the iron-eating beast, Ma Chao gritted his teeth even more.

This guy is directly entrenched in a mountain not far from Qingtang Acropolis, and he has subdued the ghosts in the mountain, forcing those ghosts not to do harm to others, but to follow him to help those in the village at the foot of the mountain. Those who have escaped and have nowhere to escape, repair houses and walls, and resist the predation of other ghosts.

At the beginning, the people in the village at the foot of the mountain were all trembling with fear from these ghosts who behaved abnormally, because they didn't know what they were trying to do. They only thought that they were repairing the fence and wall to keep people Get up and enjoy slowly.

It wasn't until later, when some ghosts wanted to prey on these villagers, but Gun Tiger yelled at them about merit and salvation, beat those ghosts to death and surrendered, and did nothing wrong with the villagers, did the villagers believe that they It was a stroke of luck, and met a group of good monsters who chanted Buddha and ate vegetarian food. So they bowed to the incense in the mountain every day, and only hoped that these good monsters could always bless them and never leave.

When Ma Chao was investigating the red-clothed envoy's ambush, he felt it was funny after his subordinate Ye Bushou reported the incident.

He also ridiculed those villagers at that time, saying that they were ignorant and foolish people, and they actually asked for the protection of demons and ghosts. What is the difference between drinking poison and quenching thirst?

In Ma Chao's view, ghosts are ghosts, and it is impossible to bless the villagers for no reason, they must have hidden evil intentions! Maybe they just want to fatten up the villagers and then catch them to eat.

However, he didn't help those villagers exorcise demons and catch ghosts. He just conducted an investigation on the Rolling Tiger and determined that it had nothing to do with the red-clothed emissary, so he didn't care about it anymore.

As for the determination that Lord Rolling Tiger has nothing to do with the red-clothed emissary, Ma Chao also has good reasons.

Among the Demon Suppressing Divisions, although there is a precedent of Zhao'an demon ghosts, Gun Tiger's behavior style is too high-profile, not like a red-clothed emissary lurking outside the city, waiting to reinforce his companions in the city.

In addition, during the recent period, due to the war in Qingtang, many ghosts have been attracted to occupy the mountain and become kings and plan the land.

Although the behavior of this iron-eating beast was a bit weird, there were many weird ghosts, and it was not the only one, so Ma Chao didn't doubt it too much.

Unexpectedly, the truth of the matter gave Ma Chao a slap in the face.

Not only the monk, but the refugees like those beggars are pretending to be red-clothed messengers, even this iron-eating beast is actually a member of the red-clothed messenger~lightnovelpub.net~ Who is the red-clothed messenger really? All of them. Will children, Taoist priests, monks, and ghosts develop gods into members next? " Ma Chao gritted his teeth and complained.

Ye Bushou next to him wanted to answer the call, but he didn't know how to answer it, so he could only be embarrassed and dare not speak.

Ma Chao put away his clairvoyance, and continued to follow and monitor Qin Shaoyou, Qin Qiaoer and others, waiting to be greeted by his subordinates at night.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past the team.

Ma Chao felt a cold body, Wufu's intuition made his hair stand on end instantly, he was terrified, he hurriedly mobilized his blood and looked around, but found nothing, only made his subordinates look at him with astonished eyes.

"An illusion?" Ma Chao frowned, and asked his subordinate Ye Bushou: "Did you feel anything just now?"

The Ye Bu Shou people all shook their heads, saying that they didn't feel anything.

"It seems that it is really an illusion. Could it be caused by being too angry just now?"

Ma Chao found a reason for his feeling just now.

But soon, his expression changed again, he hastily stretched out his hand into his arms, and only after touching the listening corner, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Even so, he was still not completely relieved, and took out the listening horn again, told him not to close it all night, let him cut his palm and drip blood on it, and then pointed the tip of the horn at Qin Shaoyou, Qin Qiaoer and others, asking Said: "The people in front are the red-clothed emissaries?"

A faint green light flickered on the listening corner.

Seeing this scene, Ma Chao was completely relieved.

"It seems to be an illusion."

Neither Ma Chao nor Ye Bushou under his command noticed that the light wind that had blown in their team just now was blowing along the woods on the hill to Qin Shaoyou, who was on the official road under the hill, Qin Qiaoer and others.
