"No!"

"Abbot Sanzang!"

"master!"

"..."

He watched helplessly as Abbot Sanzang was surrounded by a group of snow gods and demons, and eventually turned into a cold sculpture, suffering from the ravages of wind and snow!

this moment.

Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaolan were all so frightened that they were stunned. A feeling of sadness surged in their hearts and they couldn't help but cry out.

If Lin Xuan hadn't stopped her, Xiaolan would have rushed over and fought with that group of snow-covered demons!
"Calm down, Xiaolan!"

Looking at Xiaolan, who was crying bitterly with tears in her eyes and wanted to avenge Abbot Sanzang, Lin Xuan hurriedly stopped her.

"Abbot Sanzang was frozen to death by these monsters!"

"We can't just stand by and watch someone die, brother."

Xiaolan's eyes were red, and her pretty face was full of stubbornness. She gritted her teeth and looked straight at Lin Xuandao.

Lin Xuan understood Xiaolan's feelings at the moment. He felt bad too seeing Abbot Sanzang frozen to death and abandoned in the snowy night.

But when encountering such an emergency, you must remain calm and not let anger get the better of you.

He calmed himself down and immediately advised Xiaolan:

"But if you rush out now, not only will you fail to get revenge, but you might also become like your master."

"Master has reached the Spirit Refining Realm, so it won't be that easy for him to die."

"Besides, didn't Master say that within seven days, if these Snow Region Divine Demons are willing to lift their magic spells, all the villagers, including Master, will wake up!"

With Lin Xuan's comfort, Xiaolong and Xiaohu temporarily came out of their grief. They nodded vigorously and said:
"Brother is right, Xiaolan."

"You must trust the master, and you must also trust everyone!"

"We can definitely save the master and the people here!"

The atmosphere eased a little. Lin Xuan looked at the three people and expressed his opinion:

"What we need to do now is to find out as quickly as possible why the Snowland Divine Demon came here. Once we find the reason, all problems can be solved."

Done.

He then looked at the thin figure curled up in the kitchen with a scrutinizing look on his face.

At this moment, he realized that the little guy seemed to be holding a medicine jar in his arms.

If Abbot Sanzang had not saved him just now, he would not have been trapped by the Snow Region Demon.

It will never end up like this.

If you trace it back, this little boy is still the "culprit".

at the same time.

Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaolan, who had come to their senses, looked at the little boy in front of them with unfriendly faces.

Facing the questioning and hostile gazes of several people, the little boy trembled and could only hold the medicine jar helplessly, feeling extremely scared.

next moment.

Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaolan asked him a series of questions:
"Say!"

"It's so late, why are you here alone?"

"When did those monsters outside arrive?"

"Is there anyone else in the village?"

"Are you the only one alive?"

"..."

……

"Your Excellency the Grand Commander, the outsider is an old monk. I heard his disciples call him Abbot Sanzang."

In a dim secret room, a general in armor and robes was listening to the report of the spies sent out earlier.

Hearing this, Zheng Fangpei's face changed, and he was quite surprised. He said:

"Abbot Sanzang, could it be the abbot of Shaolin Temple?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ponder to himself:
"I think it should be correct... In the entire Central Plains, this governor has never heard of any other monk named Sanzang."

"How is the old monk?"

While thinking, Zheng Fangpei asked again.

"He was frozen to death just like the other villagers in this village!"

Hearing this, Zheng Fangpei looked incredulous:
"what?"

"Abbot Sanzang was also frozen by the Snow Region Divine Demon?!"

Abbot Sanzang is the abbot of Shaolin Temple.

A powerful person in the realm of spirit refining!
In the martial arts world, it is almost impossible to find an opponent!
Even a top master like him was frozen by the snow-covered demon.

From this point of view, this group of half-body, half-demon monsters are definitely not simple!
Zheng Fangpei couldn't help but get excited when he thought about the witchcraft experiment that would be taking place soon.

If this succeeds...

He will achieve immeasurable success!
It will surely shock the world!

As if he had thought of something, the spy said:
"By the way, Grand Commander, Lan Sang was rescued by Abbot Sanzang's apprentice."

Zheng Fangpei heard this and said indifferently:

"It's okay, just a few disciples, don't take it to heart."

"Lansang's mother is still in our hands. Even if we catch her, she won't tell the truth to those people."

"What's more, didn't you say that Abbot Sanzang's disciples were a few half-grown children?"

"There's no need to worry about that. What kind of trouble can a few half-grown kids cause? In fact, Lansang is a very smart kid, and he might even bring us some surprises!"

After saying this, he glanced at the spy and gave an order:

"You go down first..."

"Yes, Grand Governor!"

After that person left, Zheng Fangpei seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly sank, and he snorted coldly:
"Humph! As long as this commander completes the experiment, I will be able to gain His Majesty's favor with this item. I will then teach the Tang family of Kaifeng, who look down on me, a lesson!"

"Since the Tang family is so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

……

……

Another compartment.

inside the house.

The little boy named Lansang was being interrogated by Lin Xuan and others.

"Just... just me!"

"That...those monsters arrived three days ago."

Lan Sang didn't dare to look directly at the four people. He lowered his head and answered weakly.

Hear his answer.

Lin Xuan and the other three looked at each other.

Xiaolong, Xiaohu and Xiaolan were somewhat skeptical about this.

I don’t know whether what he said is true or false?
But when I saw this child, he looked innocent and well-behaved, admitting his mistake.

Xiaolong and the other two couldn't bear to scold him any more.

"How did you survive?"

Lin Xuan frowned and asked again.

"It was General Zheng... who saved me." Lan Sang said.

"Who is General Zheng?"

Lin Xuan asked again.

At the same time, I also speculated:
"Did he attract the Snow Region Divine Demon?"

Lan Sang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Do not know why.

When Lin Xuan asked this question, his clairvoyance detected a hint of evasion in his eyes.

It's obvious that he is lying!

In an instant.

He immediately remembered the plot in the original anime, in which a great commander, in order to realize his wish of immortality, captured the child of the snow-covered demon from the snow-covered mountains of the Western Regions, and released the demon blood from its body to perform witchcraft and refine the so-called elixir of immortality.

This is what led to the group of snow-covered gods and demons tracking down here from afar to rescue the child.

In other words, he only needed to find the child of the Snowland Demon God and help him leave, and he could save his master and the people here. !
But here is the problem.

At the moment, Lin Xuan doesn’t know where General Zheng is?
More importantly, where is the child of the Snow Demon God being held captive?
Lan Sang might know something.

But it was obvious that he was wary of the four of them, and his answers to the questions were mixed.

Unwilling to tell the truth.

"Where is General Zheng now?" Xiaolong asked impatiently.

"In...in the secret passage."

Lan Sang stammered.

"Secret passage?" Upon hearing this, Xiaolong's face slightly froze.

I didn’t expect that there is a secret passage in this small village?

In this way, this place was also a key defensive position during the war.

But Xiaolong was not afraid of this.

He was the son of the prefect of Kaifeng and had met all kinds of dignitaries.

Even the emperor has seen it!
What's more, a general?
So, he asked directly and calmly:

"Where is the secret passage? Take us there to meet General Zheng!"

Lan Sang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and agreed.

Soon, he looked around the house and finally came to a bedroom at the back of the house. He removed the floor and revealed a tunnel.

After opening the tunnel, Lan Sang jumped in first.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan and the others who followed did not hesitate and jumped down directly.

But before that, he turned around and told Xiaohu:

"Xiao Hu, go to the kitchen and get some fire."

"Yes, senior brother."

Upon hearing this, Xiaohu ran away.

In less than a hundred breaths, he got the fire.

Immediately, Lin Xuan picked up the torch stored in the tunnel and lit it.

With the help of the torchlight, they easily saw the entrance of the tunnel.

This tunnel looks quite old. The stones piled around it are very old, and some of the stone walls are covered with moss.

"Follow... follow me."

Lan Sang looked back at the four people and whispered.

At this moment, he was struggling internally.

Lan Sang could see that these four people were not very nice to him.

But there was no malice.

Because their master had unfortunately died while trying to save them.

This caused my four older brothers and sisters to dislike me.

But the bad guys kidnapped his mother, if he told the truth.

The commander-in-chief would not only kill these four people to silence them, but he might even get so angry that he would kill his mother.

After careful consideration, Lan Sang had no choice but to hide the real reason why the Snow God Demon came here.

Take four people to see Zheng Fangpei at the same time!

The group of people walked in the tunnel, holding torches, turning left and right. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they finally arrived at a spacious stone hall underground.

Standing outside the door of the stone hall, Lan Sang hesitated and seemed afraid to knock on the door.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan was moved.

Just walked up and knocked on the door.

Someone in the room heard the knock on the door and immediately responded, scolding:
"Lan Sang, is that you?"

"You sneaked out again? Are you looking for death?"

talking.

With a creak, the door was opened.

The person who opened the door was a general.

He was wearing a formal suit and had a resolute face, but his eyes beneath his thick brows were a little sinister.

"You...who are you?"

Looking at the people outside the house, Zheng Fangpei looked very surprised and asked in astonishment.

Xiaolan answered directly:

"We are disciples of Shaolin Temple."

After saying this, she pointed at Lan Sang beside her and said angrily:

"Our Shaolin's abbot, Sanzang, died trying to save him!"

Hearing this, Zheng Fangpei's face froze:
"This……"

Immediately, he couldn't help but criticize Lan Sang:
"Lan Sang, I've told you so many times not to sneak out, or you'll be eaten by those snow-covered monsters outside!"

"Who would have known that you would not listen to advice and end up killing a great monk."

In response, Lan Sang just lowered his head with a look of regret and did not speak to defend himself.

Not long after.

Zheng Fangpei bowed to Lin Xuan and the other three and introduced them:
"Everyone, I am Zheng Fangpei, and I am a great commander stationed here under secret orders."

"Lan Sang is my new servant. I didn't expect that something like this would happen tonight because of him. It's really a pity."

"Here, I will apologize to you on his behalf!"

The words fell.

He lowered his body and bowed respectfully to Lin Xuan and the other three to apologize.

Seeing a great general being so humble to herself and others, Xiaolan felt that Zheng Fangpei was full of sincerity. In the end, she sighed and said:
"Governor Zheng, please stand up quickly!"

"No one wants to see something like this happen."

"Our master, Abbot Sanzang, is indeed a virtuous monk. In times of danger, he still wanted to save lives!"

this moment.

Even Tang Xiaolong felt that there was nothing wrong with Zheng Fangpei.

After all, he looked upright and didn't put on airs with them; instead, he was quite polite.

This is very similar to my father.

Similarly, love the people as your own children and be kind to others.

But Lin Xuan, who knew the plot in advance, knew that Zheng Fangpei in front of him was a complete hypocrite.

Say one thing in front of people and another behind their backs!
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan immediately said to him:
"May I ask Governor Zheng, do you know when those monsters came to this village?"

"Why didn't Governor Zheng let the people hide in this tunnel when the monster came?"

The words fell.

The smile on Zheng Fangpei's face suddenly froze, and for a moment it actually looked a little ugly.

It was at this moment that he knew that the young man was doubting him.

He couldn't help but want to kill Lin Xuan!
Zheng Fangpei thought about the wording quickly. He paused and explained with a heavy face:

"These Snow Gods and Monsters entered the village three days ago. Because they attacked so quickly, many villagers were still working and were frozen."

At this point, he showed a look of deep sorrow:

"Harmful!"

"Come to think of it, even the soldiers under my command have been killed by them!"

Soon, his tone suddenly changed, and he said righteously:

"Everyone, I know that your abbot has just met with an accident. I understand that you are in a bad mood, but you must remember that our common enemy is that group of hateful Snow Region gods and demons!"

"It won't be long before the group of Snow Region demons know the location of the tunnel. During this time, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to do everything we can to repel them!"

Hear this.

Xiaolan and Xiaolong nodded at the same time.

Everyone had heard Brother Lin Xuan's doubts about Zheng Fangpei, and they immediately tried to reconcile:
"Brother, don't be too sensitive. Governor Zheng is a good man."

"He's right. We have to find a way to deal with the Snow Region Gods and Demons outside instead of being suspicious of each other here!"

"Ok."

Lin Xuan said helplessly.

In fact.

He hasn't told me what those monsters outside are?
But Zheng Fangpei blurted out that it was a snow-covered demon!
How did he know that those monsters were called Snow Gods and Demons?

and also.

The Snow God Demon is a half-body, half-demon monster.

It was recorded in the first volume of "The Book of Power".

Could it be that Zheng Fangpei has also read the first volume of "The Book of Power"?

Or, although he looks to be in his forties, does he have experience comparable to that of the Shaolin abbot who traveled all over the world when he was young?

I don't know.

When Lin Xuan questioned Zheng Fangpei, Lan Sang on the side was staring at the older brother in front of him.

The eyes are clear.

"Lan Sang, don't just stand there, hurry up and prepare dinner for these guests."

Suddenly, Zheng Fangpei ordered Lan Sang.
