Qiushan County.

I watched with my own eyes as the light of the teleportation array, which was reopened after being dusty for several years, gradually dimmed.

The wooden box containing the paper crane in the formation was also missing.

Ye Zhi then left the underground space where the teleportation array was located.

Later, he found Jiang Nan and others.

"Jiang Xiuyi, the matter has been settled."

Jiang Nan's eyes were filled with joy: "Thank you so much, Pavilion Master Ye!"

The three silver foxes looked at each other.

Did Tongbao Pavilion really get the news out?

"Young Master, you're welcome. The caravan is ready. You can set off at any time." Ye Zhi said respectfully.

Then he took out four signs and handed them to Jiang Nan, saying: "These are the new identities of the four young masters - the deacons of Tongbao Pavilion. With this identity, they can pass unimpeded in most places in the main city of Hongzhou."

After a pause, Ye Zhi showed a proud look and said confidently: "In Shangyuan, my Tongbao Pavilion is still a bit thin-faced."

Seeing this, the three Yinhu people couldn't help but turn away.

The official name of this brand is "Fish Brand", which is the official certificate of identity in Daxia.

And Ye Zhi's forgery of four fish cards really violated the laws of Daxia.

Although this kind of thing happens frequently, Silver Fox and others are still in official status.

Now Ye Zhi not only forged fish tags under their noses, but also let them use them personally...

It can't help but make a few people feel weird.

But when the matter is urgent, we don’t care about so much.

The four of them said goodbye to Ye Zhi and boarded the carriage.

A large and powerful group of merchants set out from Qiushan County and drove along the official road towards the main city of Hongzhou.

On top of the carriage, Jiang Nan couldn't stand the suffocating carriage. He lifted the curtain and sat side by side with a coachman.

"Master Deacon, why did you come out?"

The driver was an old man in his fifties, with gray hair and extremely strong muscles. He looked like a practicing martial artist at first glance.

He didn't know the true identity of Jiang Nan and others, he only thought that he was the deacon of Tongbao Pavilion.

Jiang Nan shook his head, "It's too stuffy in there, come out and get some air."

The old horseman grinned: "Hahaha, that's the truth, you need the mountain wind to blow!"

After that, he waved his whip, and the two tall horses neighed.

Jiang Nan sat next to him and asked casually: "Does the old man often walk this road?"

The old horseman nodded, "I have been here for more than 20 years, and I know how to walk this road even with my eyes closed!"

He seemed extremely talkative and chatty,

"Old man, I am from Hongyun County. I have been running around for most of my life just to find more money to live."

"But the old woman at home doesn't know what kind of medicine she has taken wrongly recently, and she insists on letting me go back to worship God with her. Alas..."

Hongyun County is the official name of the main city of Hongzhou, and it is also the destination of Jiangnan’s party.

Hearing this, Jiang Nan raised his eyebrows and said, "Worship God? Old man, could you please elaborate more?"

During the long journey, the old horseman had nothing to do, and Jiang Nan just happened to be willing to listen to his chatter, which was also a way to pass the time.

"Tsk, actually it doesn't count as worshiping gods."

The old horseman said this: "Originally, my old lady never believed in their idea of ​​becoming an official. But at the beginning of this year, the governor appointed a governor of Hongzhou - Mr. Deacon, you know, the official of the governor is just to do the job.

of."

"As a result, as soon as Chang Shi took office, he sent firewood, rice, oil and salt, and helped the people relieve their worries and get medical treatment."

"Later, the people regarded him as a lucky star from heaven. They even built a golden statue of him in the city and worshiped him every day."

"My old woman is also obsessed with ghosts. She must say that she is a god and wants me to worship with her..."

Jiang Nan frowned slightly and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"

"What's so good about it?"

The old groom rolled his eyes, "My old lady's health has been getting worse day by day since she worshiped the golden statue. I went back a few days ago and lost a whole pound!"

Jiang Nan raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

.

Three days later.

Hongzhou, Hongyun County.

As the main city of a state, Hongyun County covers an extremely wide area, and many wealthy families in Hongzhou live here.

At the gate of the city, a group of sergeants were checking the coming and going of merchants.

When it was the turn of the carriages and horses in Tongbao Pavilion, they were checked symbolically and then released.

Entering the city, the four Jiangnan people separated from the caravan.

The old horseman also left the carriage and went home.

He had a good impression of Jiangnan and invited him to visit his family when he was free.

Jiangnan also agreed.

Everything went smoothly.

But when he entered the city, one of the patrolling soldiers glanced at the four of them a few times.

But just when Jiang Nan thought his identity was exposed, the man withdrew his gaze without leaving a trace.

"Jiang Xiuyi, where do we start investigating?" Yinhu asked in a low voice.

Jiangnan pondered.

What they have to do now is, firstly, to find Jian Xun, and secondly, to find out what happened to the senior officials of Hongzhou.

"Find a place to stay first, and then go see the so-called lucky star from heaven."

Although it is not uncommon for people to make statues of officials.

But today's Jiangnan is particularly sensitive to similar things.

Whether it is worship or a golden statue.

They can only remind him of one thing - incense.

Yinhu and the others had no objections to Jiangnan's decision.

They first found a restaurant and settled down.

Then, he headed towards the golden statue mentioned by the old horseman.

The golden statue of Hongzhou Governor is located in the south of the city, backed by the river.

It didn't take long for the group of people to arrive in front of the golden statue.

It was a three-foot-tall stone statue. It looked like an extraordinary handsome young man, with his hands behind his back and a look of compassion between his brows.

Perhaps due to the worship of thousands of people, the milky white stone statue was faintly covered with a faint golden glow.

Magnificent and vast, this is the first impression it gives people.

Under the golden statue, countless people knelt on the ground and kowtowed in low voices.

Jiang Nan noticed that these people were all thin, with sunken eyes, and their movements were trembling.

But extremely pious.

Silver Fox's eyes gradually darkened.

With his cultivation level, he could naturally see that the anger of the people was slowly flowing towards the golden statue.

"The management of Hongzhou is so brave! How dare they use witchcraft to confuse people and steal their lives!"

Jiang Nan slowly shook his head.

This is not a witchcraft.

As someone who was also worshiped by incense, he could see that in addition to the vitality being taken away from those people, there were also wisps of incense slowly flowing towards the golden statue.

——This is the method of Shinto.

Seeing this scene, Jiangnan finally confirmed that the black hands behind the Hongzhou incident were the remnants of Shinto!

He stared at the standing golden statue, and the other party seemed to see him too.

That is the connection between those who are also users of the incense at the end of the world!
