Nine hundred and seventieth eight chapters to the Five Elements Mountain
"That pig demon hurts a lot. It's a pity that Mr. An doesn't go to get rid of it with me." Xuanzang, wearing a shabby dress, stepped out of the teahouse that had been closed, walked onto the dark and quiet street, turned around and looked at Anyang, and said softly.
"Everything is destined. I don't need me to help you, someone will help you." Anyang looked up at the night. It was a bright moon hanging above his head, illuminating the entire town as if it was covered with a layer of silver light, shining brightly in the night. "This was arranged by some people with great effort, and I can't destroy it. Just go!"
Xuanzang listened to his leisurely words and looked at the night sky with him. He felt that the night tonight was really charming, and he felt that what he said was really mysterious. He felt that after drinking tea in the middle of the night, his whole body was cold and his stomach was covered with water!
"Mr. Na'an, let's leave here."
"We will see you again, I'll be waiting for you under the Five Elements Mountain."
"Five Elements Mountain, where is that place?"
"You'll know soon."
"Oh." Xuanzang nodded, without exploring it in depth, "Mr. An has both excellent skills and profound knowledge, and has extraordinary knowledge. He has achieved a state of enlightenment on his own path. It is my honor to see Mr. An again."
After Xuanzang finished speaking, he folded his hands and bowed to him, nodded to him, and turned around and walked into the street late at night.
The moon was bright and shining white on the ground in the town. Xuanzang walked slowly, like an old man with a turbid and turbid age. His body casts shadows on the ground, gradually moving away, and gradually disappearing from Anyang's sight.
Anyang withdrew his gaze and left.
It was autumn, and the evenings in the town were very cold, especially in the middle of the night. The streets were covered with cold wind, and it was pitch black and uninhabited. The road was covered with mud and bumpy pits and the houses on both sides were messy and particularly bleak. During the day, the benches and shelves that were set up by small vendors were placed on the street at will, and the cloth with words written as signs was blown by the wind, making a sound, adding a terrifying feeling to the dark and uninhabited street at this time.
A slender figure was hit on the wall by the moonlight and bent at the right angle between the wall and the ground. It was faintly seen that he walked forward step by step, his steps were firm, and he made a slight sound when he stepped on the ground, as if he was completely uninvasive of the cold wind and darkness!
At this time, if a civilian living in the town gets up in the middle of the night and opens the window to see this scene, he may be scared to death!
Anyang walked step by step to the end of the town and walked through an alley. His eyes suddenly became clear. A simple yamen that was incompatible with the town even though it was dilapidated.
There is no plaque in this yamen, and there is no stone lion that the yamen usually should have at the door. It gives people the feeling that they want to make the show but don’t want to be too ostentatious. In addition, there is not enough investment, so there is such a simple courtyard. On such a night, it looks like a long-desolate haunted yamen.
This is the office of the exorcist in this area. Anyang has been with Duan Xiaoxiao once during the day.
"Bang! Squeak..."
Anyang pushed open the old wooden door directly and made a sarcastic sound, and the moonlight penetrated the door and shone on him, feeling a little pale for a moment.
There was a sudden movement in the yamen, very slight.
Anyang had no expression on his face, walked into the yamen, then walked through the front yard, and walked towards the back yard where the staff were sleeping.
In such a quiet environment, the movements in the backyard could not escape his ears. Someone heard someone say, "It seems like a little thief has entered. Get up, take the guys, and let's go out and have a look."
"I've eaten the bear heart and the leopard's courage!"
"Don't be careless. The person who came came directly from the main entrance. Maybe he was not a little thief!"
"No matter who he is, he dares to make trouble on Tai Sui's head and break into Luoyang's northern exorcist yamen at night to cause trouble. This matter cannot be good! Sir, please rest for a while. We brothers will solve this matter soon!"
"Yes, sir, you have a good rest. Get up tomorrow morning and then interrogate this little thief!"
Then there was the sound of Cheng's weapon being unsheathed. The two of them immediately pushed open the door and gradually spread to the front yard.
Anyang pursed his lips and walked along the way of the sound.
At the dividing line between the front and back yards, they met.
The two on the opposite side were middle-aged men, with a strong body holding a short-handed sword in one hand, with a fierce aura, while the other slightly thin man held a Mo sword in both hands. The slender Mo sword was also fierce, and at the same time had a fierce aura.
When they saw Anyang, they were all stunned!
Because the visitor was wearing gray-white cloth clothes, it was the style of a commoner, but the clean and delicate clothes did not look like a commoner, but instead looked like a scholar and a scholar. He came empty-handed, with an ordinary posture, not like a person who came to make trouble, but his air was calm and composed, and he was definitely not like a stealer, so things were very simple...
He is very confident!
One of the two danced the short-handled sword dragged behind him and pointed at Anyang, and was on guard. The other put away the Mo knife he was holding and asked, "Who are you? This is the Northern Exorcist Yamen in Luoyang. What's the matter when he came in the middle of the night?"
Anyang glanced at them and waved his hand!
"Bang!"
The two of them flew backwards, smashing a wall behind them, making a loud bang.
The smoke and dust that swells are still clearly visible in the moonlight.
Anyang glanced at them, ignored them, and walked straight to the inner courtyard. Although the two of them were not seriously injured, they were just a little dizzy for a while, but they were afraid of his strength and did not dare to rush up rashly, and they didn't even dare to get up!
Anyang walks all the way into the corridor of the backyard.
He could feel that there were many people living here, most of whom were ordinary people, mostly young men and women, and they slept in separate rooms, and they should be ordinary people who worked for the exorcist yamen.
These people were awakened by the loud noise just now, but they were trembling on the bed and dared not come out.
Passing by an open room in Anyang, I glanced at it lightly, and did not stop, but accelerated my pace to a room next door, which is also the center of the inner courtyard.
He pushed open the door and walked in!
A faint bright light flashed in the room!
It's the sword light!
With a shout, the candles placed everywhere in the room suddenly lit up, bringing plenty of light to the room.
A middle-aged man was dressed and sat in the main seat. There was a long sword in front of him. The sword had been unsheathed. The sword body reflected a golden light and a snow-like light under the moonlight and candlelight.
"Sir, aren't you sleeping?" An Yang walked into the house with a smile and turned around and closed the door. "Sir, please don't bluff. Those two people are not my enemies. You are just an ordinary person. Standing here to chop you, you can't hurt me even if you collect it. Take it away, my purpose is not as evil as you imagined."
"Huh!" The middle-aged man let out a long breath, his calm and solemn expression suddenly collapsed. He reached out and took the scabbard next to him and put away the sword. "Isn't the person coming here? Then you are here in the middle of the night, and you will hurt two of my subordinates without saying a word?"
Anyang grinned and brought a chair to sit down.
When the middle-aged man saw him, he asked again: "Who are you? My two men are good at Luoyang. If you can defeat them with one move, you are not an unknown person! For money or for what?"
"In order to ask you something and answer seriously, I will leave immediately! Otherwise, I will razend the place to the ground!"
"This is the imperial court's exorcist yamen!" The middle-aged man's expression was already filled with a little anger.
"I know." Anyang said.
"Huh!" The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, put away the anger on his face, and said, "You are not an exorcist!"
"Make it right."
"Whatever you want to ask, as long as the court's secrets are not involved, I can answer you."
"Thank you, sir."
Anyang grinned again, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
He stood up at dawn in the morning, patted his wrinkled clothes, and pushed the door out.
The two strong men stood at the door with their knives, their bodies were wet with mist, and there was a faint layer of white frost on their hair and eyebrows. They actually stayed at the door all night!
Anyang glanced at them, ignored them, and made great strides to leave here.
The air in the early morning of autumn is very humid and fresh, and there is a layer of cold air on the ground, but it is not cold, and it is at the most comfortable temperature in the human body.
There is a spell manipulating the soul. What the adult said, "does not involve the secrets of the court" is just a joke. When Anyang asked, he explained everything clearly and in detail.
Because demons are rampant in the world, there are many exorcists walking in this era. Because this bowl of rice is delicious, as long as you have the ability, you can register in a place, get a token of waist cards and other tokens, you can become an exorcist, and then you can receive tasks and receive bounties from places like the exorcist yamen.
The Exorcist Yamen is the largest and most credible exorcist organization in the world today. It was secretly established by the court. Generally, the tasks were also issued by the court. Eight of the ten tasks were captured and harmed monsters.
But there is also one thing that some tasks cannot be issued in the official exorcist department, and the court has not monopolized it. Therefore, in addition to the exorcist department established by the court, there are many civil exorcist organizations of all sizes. Moreover, due to the difficulty of supervision, many exorcists often register multiple identities, mainly in the official exorcist yamen, but can still take on tasks in multiple places!
These non-governmental organizations are more like bounties, mercenary unions, and do whatever they give money!
Anyang went to the official exorcist yamen last night.
It is said that it belongs to the Middle East branch of the imperial court's Exorcist Department and the Northern Yamen of the Luoyang branch. It manages all exorcist and demon incidents in the northern area of Luoyang City, and directly belongs to the Luoyang Zong Yamen!
The general trend of the world is still not much different from that in history.
However, there are many demons in troubled times in China. In addition to suppressing bandits and quelling the rebellion, the court will also send extraordinary people to suppress the alien races!
Of course, the extraordinary is Anyang saying.
They are called practitioners.
In the past six hundred years, the frequency of gods and Buddhas in the sky has become lower and lower. If people could occasionally see miracles and manifest themselves five hundred years ago, it is difficult to get a response even if the emperor worships heaven.
I don't know what the situation is in this world.
