The next morning was the first day of the Lunar New Year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yang Xianmao went straight to the prefect's yamen. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, of course, the yamen does not work, but Yang Xianmao is an exception. Everyone knows that he is now a high-ranking official from Sanpin, and the prefect of Xuanzhou is not enough to see in front of him. He is coming, how can the prefect of Xuanzhou leave him for the festival?
So after hearing the report, Wei Wende, the prefect of Xuanzhou, didn't even have time to put on his official robe, so he ran to the door in a panic to greet him, and said repeatedly: "I don't know if the lord has arrived, I missed the welcome, and I ask for forgiveness." ”
Yang Xianmao smiled and said, "You're welcome, I came to you today for an urgent matter, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you for the festival at this time." ”
Wei Wende even claimed that he didn't dare, and said with a smile: "I don't know that the lord has returned to his hometown, if he knows, he should take the yamen officials to greet him outside the city, which is really rude." As he spoke, he invited Yang Xianmao to sit down in the flower hall of the house and served fragrant tea.
Yang Xianmao said: "When I came back this time, I heard that there was a monk named Li Xu in Xuzhou and our Xuanzhou, who called himself the Bat King, with two bat-like wings under his armpits, who could fly in the air and recruit disciples, preaching that there would be a monstrous flood this summer, and only by believing in him could he be saved." Does Governor Wei know about this?"
As soon as he heard this, Governor Wei's eyes immediately lit up, and he said: "It turns out that the lord also knows, and he wants to report this matter to the lord." This is the pride of our Xuanzhou. - Of course, this bat king was born in Xuzhou, but he also preached in Xuanzhou and received many disciples. I was fortunate enough to visit his old man's home, received his guidance, and was concentrating on cultivation. I didn't have a festival during the Spring Festival, and I donated all the expenses of the festival to the Bat King. If you know, you should come and tell the lord, donate the money, and don't celebrate the festival, this is the Bat King's explanation. But it doesn't matter if you don't know, I can invite the Bat King to come in the next post today, ask the Lord to meet with him, worship him as a teacher, and you can avoid this monstrous flood. Moreover, after taking the medicine of the Bat King, you can prolong your life and live a long life. ”
As soon as Yang Xianmao heard what he said, he knew that the prefect had also been hit by the magic barrier, smiled, stretched out his hand and slapped him on the shoulder, and said, "Prefect Wei, it's time to wake up!"
Under this slap, a Xuanyin True Qi swept through the brain of Wei Zhifu, and his body suddenly sank, and he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "Sir, this Xuzhou Li Xu Demon Dao is demonic and confuses the public, recruits disciples, and has a sign of rebellion." The lowly office was about to punish him, and when the lord came, he could decide. ”
Yang Xianmao smiled, nodded and said: "Very good, however, this person recruits disciples, and several people have been bewitched by him, which is really a big trouble, although I have a way to remove this kind of demonic barrier, but there are many believers, and I can't finish it for a while." And if I rescue him on my side and continue to confuse and recruit disciples, there will be no end. Therefore, to capture the thief and capture the king first, he must first take down this Li Xu and his henchmen, and then remove the magic barrier from his disciples. ”
Wei Wende nodded again and again and said: "The lord is really good, but this Li Xu has many disciples, once he knows that he has been arrested, I am afraid that there will be a mutiny, and it will be miserable." ”
"It doesn't matter, didn't you just say it? You can send a prayer post to invite him to come, and you tell him that I will worship him as a teacher, and let him come to Xuanzhou Yamen immediately. ”
When Wei Wende heard this, he nodded again and again, and said: "This Li Xu has seven inner disciples, who are his right-hand man, and they are the ones who sell medicine in various states and counties, and they can be called all together." ”
Yang Xianmao said: "That's good, this is up to you to arrange, but you must know that before I meet him, you must not meet him, even if he comes to the door, don't see him, because this person has demon magic, which can make people fall into the demon barrier and worship him, if you see him, I am afraid that you will be controlled by him again." ”
Wei Wende looked ashamed and said, "It's really embarrassing to be bewitched by this demon way. Obey the lord's instructions, and never see him again, until he is taken down. - Since he has a demon spell, why don't you ambush the axeman, wait for him to come, and chop him into mashed flesh?"
Yang Xianmao shook his head and said: "Don't, this person can float in the air, has bat wings, and has demon methods, I'm afraid that it is not something that ordinary soldiers can deal with, and I have to go out in person." You don't have to worry about arresting him, just leave it to me, you just need to lead him and his seven disciples to the yamen, and I'll take care of the rest." ”
Wei Wende said: "I'm afraid it's too late today, because I still have to gather his seven disciples, so how about a dinner tomorrow? I invited him to the banquet and told him that the lord wanted to worship him as a teacher, and he would definitely come." ”
Yang Xianmao nodded in agreement, then said a few more gossips, and then left.
When Yang Xianmao returned home, he had already come to pay New Year's greetings to many officials and squires and celebrities in Xuanzhou City. When these people learned that the lord had returned to his hometown, they all came to visit the New Year one after another during the Spring Festival to climb this relationship. The prefect Wei Wende also prepared a generous gift, and brought his family to Yang Xianmao's mansion to pay New Year's greetings, and privately told Yang Xianmao that his letter had been sent.
On this day, Yang Xianmao was overwhelmed, because the people who came to pay New Year's greetings were like carp crossing the river, and there were also people from their hometowns. In the days when the Yang family was poor, they had never seen them come to the door, let alone receive help, but now they are flocking to it, they are really poor in the downtown and no one asks, and they are so rich that they have distant relatives in the mountains.
On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the eighth-level powerhouse Snake Fairy Gu rushed to Yang Xianmao's house in Xuanzhou.
Although she is not as fast as the Chiyang donkey, she is an eighth-level powerhouse in the end, and she flies with a foot pedal machine, and her speed is faster than that of ordinary thousand horses. Therefore, they arrived in Xuanzhou City only one day later than Yang Xianmao.
Seeing the arrival of the snake fairy girl, Yang Xianmao felt a lot more relieved, called her aside, and confused the people with Li Xu's evil words in Xuzhou, advocating that there would be a big flood that would drown everyone this summer, and let people donate money to him in order to be blessed, and at the same time told her about using demon magic to control people's minds, saying that he decided to capture him and bring him to justice, and asked the snake fairy girl to help him.
The snake fairy girl smiled and said: "Earlier in Guannan, I said I wanted to help you, but it turned out that you helped me, I was besieged by those seventh-level powerhouses, if you hadn't set fire to the Liao camp, those strong people would not have retreated, and it would be difficult for me to get out, I said I wanted to help you, but I didn't expect the result to be like this." This time, I will definitely help you, return your favor, and capture him alive!"
Yang Xianmao hurriedly thanked him, and with the help of Snake Immortal Gu, an eighth-level powerhouse, this matter was nine out of ten.
The next day was the second day of junior high school, and it was the agreed time to trap Li Xu.
Yang Xianmao took the snake fairy Gu and the two came to the prefect's yamen first. Governor Wei had already set up a sumptuous banquet in the reception hall. Yang Xianmao asked the prefect Wei Wende to hide in the inner house, don't come out, lest he be bewitched by him again. At the same time, Yang Xianmao and Snake Fairy Gu sat on the banquet, waiting for the arrival of the Bat King.
After waiting for a long time, the porter ran in excitedly, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Lord Lord, the old man of the Bat King is here, please go to the front to greet him." ”
Yang Xianmao was ready to wait for the other party to make a move as soon as he entered the courtyard of the flower hall, for fear of harming the pond fish, he had already asked Wei Wende to inform the others to avoid it from afar, he did not get up to greet him, but said with a big thorn: "Let the Bat King come by himself, the official will not go to the door to greet him." ”
The porter looked at Yang Xianmao strangely several times, and seemed to think that the Bat King was much more important than him, why didn't the lord go to greet him, it was really rude. There was even a hint of hostility in the porter's eyes. Yang Xianmao knew that this gatehouse must have also fallen into the magic barrier, otherwise, he would not dare to look at the lord like this if he was given ten dares.
The porter walked out of the door in a huff, and rushed all the way to the yamen, and saw that the bat king Li Xu and his seven disciples were waiting for Yang Xianmao's greeting at the door. The porter was a little ashamed, as if it was his fault that Yang Xianmao didn't come out to greet him, he prostrated on the ground and kowtowed: "Bat King, our lord is waiting in the flower hall, please come with me." ”
Li Xu's eldest disciple snorted and said, "He's just a loose official with no power or position, what kind of stand is he putting up? When our Bat King becomes a national teacher in the future, I don't think it's too late for him to make a fuss." ”
Li Xu waved his hand and said, "He hasn't entered my door yet, so naturally he doesn't know how to respect me, so let's go see him, and when he enters the door, he naturally knows the rules." ”
Li Xu paced square steps and swayed towards the flower hall.
The porter hunched over in front and led him to the flower hall. When he arrived at the door of the flower hall, he shouted at the top of his voice: "The old man of the Bat King has arrived, please come out to greet him." ”
Yang Xianmao whispered to the snake fairy girl sitting beside him: "As soon as we meet, you don't need to say anything, just shoot directly, subdue him, catch Li Xu first, and then clean up his seven disciples, and strive for a fatal move." ”
The snake fairy girl grinned and said, "Don't worry, I'm an eight-pole black qi powerhouse, there are not many people in the world who can take a few moves under my hands, and I can take him down with one move." Let's go, you'll be watching the excitement from the side. ”
After that, the snake fairy Gu and Yang Xianmao got up and walked to the door of the flower hall.
Bat King Li Xu had already come to the door of the flower hall, and when he saw Yang Xianmao and them, Li Xu smiled faintly and arched his hand: "I have long admired the name of the lord." It is an honor for the Bat King to have a lord enter my door. ”
With an indescribable mysterious power, these words were transmitted towards Yang Xianmao and reached Yang Xianmao's ears, making his heart tremble.
The last time I was over Weishan Lake, because of the distance, although I heard his voice, it didn't shock him so much. And this time, the Bat King directly targeted him with the magic barrier, trying to control his mind.
Yang Xianmao's dantian Xuanyin true fire was immediately like a bell that was ringed, the bell rippled around, every time it waved, Yang Xianmao's heart calmed down a minute, and after a few swings, Yang Xianmao had returned to normal.
Yang Xianmao immediately took a step back and said in a low voice: "Do it!"
It stands to reason that under his order, the hand fairy girl next to him will immediately take action to restrain the Bat King. Unexpectedly, the snake fairy girl did not move, and stood there blankly, looking at the Bat King.
When the Bat King heard this, his heart sank, his eyes stared at Yang Xianmao, and he said slowly: "It turns out that the lord has set up a Hongmen banquet to catch this Bat King." ”
