Chapter 105 Chasing
A scream rang out in the stubborn stone town in the early morning sun.
At the entrance of the casino tea room, Brother Sha slipped to the ground, looking at the three corpses in the room, he was scared to death.
But regardless of how the unlucky Chen County magistrate will face this terrible murder, on the other side, Fu Qingzhou and Qiu Chan have already chased them ten miles outside the town.
The monk did not deliberately hide his whereabouts after the murder. When he came out of the pool of blood, he naturally left bloody footprints on the ground. However, this man was also very good at lightness. After leaving the casino, every step he took was almost separated. More than ten feet away.
Fu Qingzhou went back to the inn to get a bow and arrow, and Qiu Chan also found his hiding place, changed into black clothes for easy movement, and brought a soft sword. The two followed the bloody footprints all the way to the bamboo forest more than ten miles outside the town.
At this point, the blood stains on the soles of the monk's feet have almost been worn away by running, and there are no traces left.
"What should I do?" Qiu Chan glanced at Fu Qingzhou.
Fu Qingzhou frowned: "Do you have any Taoist skills that can track others?"
Qiu Chan said helplessly: "Yes, there is, but the blood on the soles of the monk's feet was not shed by him. I I haven’t even seen him, and I can’t use Taoism.”
Fu Qingzhou pondered for a moment and squatted down.
At this time, he can only show his skills as a hunter in Bailu Mountain.
He lowered his body and observed the height of the surrounding low grass. He quickly found a footprint that had obviously been stepped on by someone. There was still a faint trace of residual blood on the broken grass that the footprint had stepped on. , it was clearly stepped on by the monk.
And based on the direction of the toes, we can at least determine which direction he is heading.
“Going east.”
Fu Qingzhou stood up and said: "There is a mountain forest ahead. Presumably he will not turn back at a large angle. Let's chase him to the east first."
Looking back, he saw Qiu Chan looking at him with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?" Fu Qingzhou was confused.
Qiu Chan looked at him and said slowly: "You... are Fu Qingzhou."
Fu Qingzhou was shocked: "Huh?!"
"I should have guessed it a long time ago."
Qiu Chan said, came to him and looked him up and down: "She is about the same age as me, looks... not bad, was born as an Orion and is good at The bow and arrow, the intelligence and sharpness, appeared in Shu again..."
"You are the Fu Qingzhou who was talked about by the master for several months after he came back two years ago."
Fu Qingzhou: " ...It turns out that you are Master Baihe's disciple, so disrespectful."
"No wonder you know my skills well."
Qiu Chan glanced at him: "I heard that there are thousands of books in the Zhenxian Palace, which are no worse than Zhangjian Academy. It turns out to be true."
Fu Qingzhou had a strange feeling. Why did he think this girl knew about it? After revealing his identity, the eyes he looked at were full of hostility...
They obviously get along well at the moment, right?
What did Master Baihe nag in front of his apprentice after he returned?
But what she said last night came true. She really guessed her identity correctly.
Fu Qingzhou sighed, vaguely feeling that trouble would continue to come in the future.
But these are things to consider later. For now, we should find the monk first.
Fortunately, the two of them had enough rest last night. They took turns turning on the Eye God and tracking the traces with extreme vision, and they were not very tired.
After chasing for more than thirty miles and passing through the mountains and forests, a small village appeared faintly ahead.
Fu Qingzhou raised his eyes and looked at the sky: "It is noon now. The monk also suffered a few blows from your senior sister, and he went on his way with Qinggong. Now that there is a village, he will probably be treated here. Have a meal and be refreshed before going on the road. ”
Qiu Chan nodded: "Shall we go to the village to explore?"
"I'll go, don't move rashly."
Fu Qingzhou glanced at her: "You are dressed exactly the same as your senior sister , too easy to expose, at least I look like an ordinary hunter."
Qiu Chan pursed her lips and nodded, then reached out and took out a yellow talisman from her arms: "This is the mother of the Tongran Talisman. Talisman, give me your Zi Talisman." Fu Qingzhou knew what she meant, and after exchanging the yellow talisman, he went down the mountain and walked toward the village alone.
In early spring, every household that had the strength to cultivate and plant seedlings in the farmland. No one paid attention to him, so he just walked through the field stalks and came to the village.
The village is very quiet, except for the smoke rising from the farmhouses and the occasional sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking, there is no movement.
Fu Qingzhou found a corner, sat down cross-legged, and closed his eyes.
After entering the fifth realm of Wu Qiao, his various senses have naturally been greatly improved. When he transports all his inner breath to his ears, his ears will also be greatly improved, and in the blink of an eye, a village the size of All movement and stillness are in the ears.
Although the monk most likely had the ability to isolate his senses before, this place is a quiet mountain village. He does not need to talk about any secrets, and he should not deliberately isolate himself from exploration.
But after listening to it, I didn't hear anything related to the monk.
"It seems that we arrived too late, we have probably left."
Fu Qingzhou sighed, opened his eyes, and stood up.
But just such an action made him pause.
With his excellent eyesight, he happened to see a bald figure wearing a cassock walking on the mountain road in the forest on the other side of the village. Looking from here, the man was as small as the tip of a finger, standing among the branches and leaves of the mountain forest. Flickering under cover.
"There!"
Fu Qingzhou perked up and immediately chased after him.
He didn't rush to light the burning talisman, but simply left a mark under the wall, pointing to the mountain forest where the monk haunted.
As the saying goes, a horse can run to death when looking at the mountain. Just look at the monk there. By the time Fu Qingzhou crossed the fields, climbed over the foot of the mountain, and came to the previous mountain road, he had walked at least several miles.
Up to here, Fu Qingzhou was already very cautious.
Judging from the scene glimpsed from a distance before, the monk's movements up the mountain were very gentle, and he no longer rushed along with Qinggong as before. This meant that he was either tired or already close to his destination.
Tired... A person in the sixth level of Wu Qiao, even if he was struck by a few swords, but he was able to travel all the way with light skills, it means that he was not seriously injured. He probably rested for a while in the village, so he probably won't be tired. of.
Then, it can only be that this mountain road is already close to the destination. There is no need to rush anymore and you can walk slowly.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, there is someone or something on the top of the mountain that the monk respects a lot, and he neither dares nor is willing to approach with Qinggong, but seriously Climb the stairs step by step.
Fu Qing was halfway through Zhoushan Road. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go up and have a look first.
After all, these monks are monks, not bandits, and they still avoid people when they do evil things. Now I look like an ordinary hunter. Even if a hunter goes up the mountain and accidentally bumps into a monk, it doesn't matter. He can get away with it.
If Qiu Chan is recruited, anyone who meets the murderous monk will immediately fight to the death.
After thinking clearly, he took off his bow, held it in his hand, and climbed up the stairs step by step.
The stone steps on the mountain path were not very long, and after a while, his eyes opened up.
At the end of the winding mountain road, a small temple suddenly appeared. The three big characters above the temple door were clearly "Fanyin Temple"!
Fu Qingzhou's pupils shrank, and he quickly ducked into the bushes on the side.
Fortunately, there was no one at the door of the temple, so naturally no one saw him coming.
“Good guy, is this a branch of the temple?”
He blinked and quickly understood.
Based on the information from Mingjiange, Fanyin Temple is thousands of miles away in Dongxuan Lake, so why go all the way to Shu to arrest people?
Naturally, there is only one answer. They have such branch temples in various places to facilitate their work in various places.
Thinking of this, Fu Qingzhou's heart calmed down.
I can run away from the monk, but I can't run away from the temple.
He had no intention of exploring the temple alone, and quietly retreated - whether to join forces with Qiu Chan to ambush the monk right here, or to recruit reinforcements, we can slowly discuss.
