Liu Xiu was still a little skeptical, but when he heard this, he almost laughed out loud: Nonsense! If you really want to have a god, then you still need a knife? When the road is uneven, the people who roar, and the earth is going to tremble, do you need to use a knife, a fruit knife to peel apples?

He took out the knife and showed it to the Lu family, just hoping that she would believe that she had a killer weapon in her hand and asked her not to act rashly, but now the effect is a little unexpected, but he doesn't dare to blow it anymore. He put the knife away and suggested, "Then do you have the confidence to work with me?" ”

Lu Shi was stunned for a moment, from Liu Xiu's expression, she saw some clues, Liu Xiu not only didn't take the Taoist skills she said in his eyes, but also didn't seem to think that this knife was really an artifact. She thought for a moment and smiled, "Of course you can, but I have a reluctant request." ”

began to put forward conditions, Liu Xiu raised his vigilance: "You talk about it." ”

"Lend me this knife and let me trace the talisman on it." Lu Shi said very calmly: "Don't worry, I will draw in front of you, and the knife will not leave your sight." ”

Liu Xiu was indeed afraid that she would hack the knife, but now seeing her say this, he was a little embarrassed, and nodded again and again to cover it up. Lu immediately asked Wang Ying to bring a pen and paper, traced the talisman on the handle of the knife, and then carefully put it away, and returned the knife to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu was a little surprised when he saw her solemn.

"Dare to ask Madame, I have seen spells, what is the matter with this spell?"

Lu Shi smiled: "Spells and spells are almost the same, but spells are sounds, and spells are shapes." Compared with the two, spells are easy to understand and difficult to master, and the truth is easy to understand, but it is very difficult to master them, and not everyone can practice the essence of them. Talismans, on the other hand, are difficult to understand and easy to refine, as long as you memorize those talismans and draw them in the future, you can cast them, and the requirements for the caster's Taoism are far less high. ”

Liu Xiu remembered what Zhang Ming said about the human body as a tool, and vaguely understood. It seems that the key to spells is to cultivate one's body, to be able to emit such sound waves, and at the same time to be able to resist the damage of this sound wave to oneself, and the spell only needs to remember those runes, and the cultivation requirements for the body are not as high as spells.

Liu Xiu politely asked the Lu family for advice, can you show me? Since the Lu family wants to cooperate with Liu Xiu, of course, he also has to show his strength, otherwise he will have no bargaining chips. After listening to Liu Xiu's request, she only agreed with a little modesty, and glanced at Wang Ying who was standing aside.

Wang Ying immediately got up and took a piece of paper, let Zhang Xiu and another Taoist boy hold one end each, and hung it in front of Lu, Wang Ying himself sharpened the ink, but he grinded not ordinary black ink, but red Dan ink.

Liu Xiu looked at them Zhang Luo, and said in his heart that this is probably the so-called ghost painting talisman, and he doesn't know what he can draw. Although he was a little prepared in theory, it was the first time he really watched people draw talismans, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

Wang Ying sharpened the Danmo, respectfully sent it to Lu, and handed over a pen with both hands. Lu Shi took the pen in his hand, while slowly dipping the inkstone in the inkstone, while pranayama, his breathing became slower and slower, deeper and deeper, and his eyelids were about to close, and the whole person entered a state of confusion. Wang Ying didn't dare to slack off, and carefully stood by her side to protect the Dharma, and the two Dao Tong also held their breath, not even daring to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing her to cast the spell.

Lu's movements became slower and slower, the whole person seemed to have become a stone sculpture, motionless, just when Liu Xiu thought she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly opened her eyes, lifted the pen dipped in the full, and swayed on the paper as quickly as the wind, just two or three breaths of time, she finished casting the spell, threw down the pen, put her hands in a strange posture on her chest, chanted two sentences at a very fast speed, and then took a glass of wine from Wang Ying's hand and put it in her mouth, spraying it on the paper vigorously.

"Liu Jun, please take a look." Lu Shi opened his eyes and stared at Liu Xiu with a fierce eye.

Liu Xiu saw that the paper was in a mess, and when he was sprayed with wine, some places had already blurred, and it was bright red, blurry. He looked closely, and suddenly felt dizzy, as if the danmo on the paper had turned into a surging sea of blood, rushing, the rumbling sound of the water was faintly audible, like the sound of ocean waves, and like the sound of galloping horses' hooves, and the red lines on the paper suddenly turned into blood light, overwhelming. The sound of shouting and killing, the neighing of horses, and the impact of weapons were mixed together, roaring in his ears, making his blood veins, and a hot current in his chest and abdomen went up, and a long howl blurted out.

"The owner!" Xu Yu was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the crumbling Liu Xiu, he subconsciously glanced at the paper full of talismans, and was stunned for a moment, his eyes were round, blood flashed in his eyes, and his body was tense.

"Don't look!" Tang Yingzi pounced and tore the piece of paper in half in three or two clicks. As soon as the paper broke, Xu Yu suddenly shuddered, came to his senses, and looked at Liu Xiu again, Liu Xiu took a step back, standing against the wall, sweating profusely, and his face was frightened.

"Liu Jun was frightened." Lu Shi smiled faintly and saluted, and stretched out his hand to invite: "Please take a seat, drink a glass of wine to suppress the shock." ”

Liu Xiu only felt that his heart was beating hard, and his sound was like thunder, but he still quickly came back to his senses, pulled over the paper that had been torn by Tang Yingzi, and looked at it carefully for a while. The runes on the paper have been messed up, and there is no longer the image just now, but it can still be vaguely seen that the vertical and horizontal Danmo on it is like a wanton flow of blood, and it is like a long knife and halberd flying vertically and horizontally, and the ring in the circle, the seemingly chaotic runes actually have a certain regularity, like a circle that is shrinking smaller and smaller, at first glance, the eyes are easy to follow these lines into the void behind the paper, and the images of blood and weapons hidden in the characters will float in the air.

This seems to be similar to a three-dimensional painting painted on a flat surface.

"Madame's Taoism is clever, admire and admire." Liu Xiu let go of the paper and politely saluted the Lu family. Lu Shi was very surprised to see that he was smiling, and he no longer had the frightened look he had just now. She did her best, drawing a talisman against Liu Xiu's belligerent surname, always thinking that she could subdue him at once, so that he admired his Taoist skills to the ground, Liu Xiu's performance just now was exactly what she expected, but now Liu Xiu's almost bland reaction made her very frustrated.

Could it be that this person has really seen more magical Dao techniques? Thinking of the knife beside Liu Xiu, Lu's heart was full of suspicion. She didn't lie to Liu Xiu, in her opinion, the gods not only existed, but also true, the runes on the handle of the knife were indeed the characteristics of the ancient gods, she saw this similar from the secret text passed down by the master, this short knife is very likely to be a real artifact.

It's a pity that Liu Xiu didn't believe her words. As soon as she thought that Liu Xiu regarded such an artifact as an ordinary weapon, she felt worthless for that knife.

Lu Shi cautiously discussed some conditions with Liu Xiu. In fact, Liu Xiu's conditions are very simple, I can help you preach in Luoyang, and you also have to help me do some favors, such as sending some people who are proficient in astrology to participate in the Lingtai to participate in the Tao, and sending some people with good martial arts skills to help me train soldiers or something, basically all of them are reasonable and reasonable, reciprocity and mutual assistance, the only one that is somewhat arrogant is that Liu Xiu does not allow them to interact with eunuchs, especially Zhang Rang and Yuan Yu, who have close contacts with the He family and the Yuan family.

Lu Shi discussed it with Wang Ying, and probably guessed the reason for Liu Xiu's condition, so he reluctantly agreed.

…… Zhang Ming looked at the gift that the He family had just sent in the house, and was satisfied. After he let He Guiren teach some secret techniques in the room, He Guiren acted according to the law, not only forgave by the Son of Heaven, but also regained the favor of the Son of Heaven, and even gained some upper hand in the competition for favor with Queen Song, the He family was very grateful and gave him a generous gift.

During his one-year mission in Luoyang, his achievements were obvious to all, and the money donated by the powerful was enough to satisfy Zhang Jiao, not to mention the development of so many powerful believers. Taiping Dao was able to open up the situation in Luoyang, and made such rapid progress, so that his position as a divine envoy was as stable as Mount Tai, and several other senior brothers such as Ma Yuanyi and Zhang Mancheng could only be red-eyed, and they couldn't do anything to him.

To have today's results, the green horns in the hands play a big role. Zhang Ming touched the horns of the green cow and thought of Liu Xiu, and his mood couldn't help but be a little complicated. Liu Xiu is a talent, but it is too difficult to accept, he put forward such good conditions, and even asked the great sages and good teachers to come forward to accept him as an apprentice, but he did not give in. Not only that, but he also abducted the Holy Maiden.

It's tolerable, it's unbearable. Zhang Ming was very angry about this, and he didn't understand why the Great Sage and Good Master didn't allow him to be rude to Liu Xiu. Although Liu Xiu's martial arts skills are very strong, when facing the battle, he has no great chance of winning, but at least he will not lose, if he can use a little trick and introduce Liu Xiu into the middle of the world, he has eighty percent certainty to take Liu Xiu and force him to hand over the holy woman and the ring. With the Holy Maiden and the Ring, the development of Taiping Dao will be faster, and similarly, he Zhang Ming will also become a pivotal figure in Taiping Dao, and he can even approach Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang Er Dharma Protectors, only under the great sage and good teacher.

Zhang Ming sighed regretfully, guessing the intentions of the great sage and good teacher. At this time, there was a commotion outside the door, and a familiar voice sounded: "Is Zhang Envoy here?" ”

Liu Xiu? Zhang Ming stood up, just about to go out to greet him, thought about it, sat down again, and drank tea slowly.

"It turned out to be Liu Jun, I don't know what happened to the envoy?" Yang Feng said that her relationship with Liu Xiu has always been strained, not as gentle as Lan Lan.

"Of course I see that Zhang Envoy has something, have you done the master?" Liu Xiu still had that nonchalant tone. Zhang Ming was originally dissatisfied with his tone, and now he is even more unhappy, but he is not happy and has no choice, Liu Xiu is said to have spoken like this in front of the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother.

Zhang Ming was hesitating whether to let Yang Feng let Liu Xiu in, or wait for Yang Feng to come and report, but the door was pushed open. Liu Xiu stood at the door with his hands behind his back, glanced at him, looked at the gifts in the room, and smiled: "Zhang has made a fortune." ”

Zhang Ming was very unhappy, and was about to refute two sentences, when suddenly his eyes lit up, and he found that the Lu family and Wang Ying of the Heavenly Master Dao walked in the door from behind Liu Xiu, standing behind Liu Xiu on the left and right, looking at him expressionlessly. In an instant, Zhang Ming felt a burst of nervousness, and several questions flashed through his mind.

How could these two people be with Liu Xiu?

What are they here for?

They are the same generation as the great sages and good teachers, but they are the opponents of the Taiping Dao, should I perform the children's ceremony, or should I fight against them and meet the peers?

Before he could figure it out, Liu Xiu had already walked in front of him, pulled over a seat and sat down, pulled out the short knife and trimmed his nails seriously, and then a chaotic footstep accompanied by Yang Feng's angry shouts walked in, Yang Feng and Lan Lan and several other disciples were forced by a few strong men with crossbows and short knives in their hands, and stood aside with angry faces, casting a look at him for help.

Zhang Ming gasped, knowing that his foreboding had come true. Liu Xiu brought the people of the Heavenly Master Dao and the warriors today, and he must not have a good heart. "What are you doing here?" Zhang Ming forced himself to calm down and asked, "Robbery?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled: "Take back my own things, is it called robbery?" ”

Zhang Ming frowned, clenched the green bull horn in his hand, and opened his mouth to refute, but he couldn't think of any reason. Although the green horn has always been in his hands, Liu Xiu did just lend it to him at the beginning, not give it to him. However, not to mention how important Qingniujiao is to his preaching in Luoyang, just in the Daomen, he can beat Ma Yuanyi and Zhang Mancheng as a group of brothers, and the role of Qingniujiao cannot be ignored. If Liu Xiu gets back the green horns, what advantage does he have at all.

Zhang Ming's voice was a little dry: "When I played against Firefox, I was also meritorious. ”

"I didn't say you didn't work, but you must not have forgotten, how did you get the green horns in the end?" Liu Xiu squeezed his eyes, leaned closer to Zhang Ming, and lowered his voice: "I said Zhang Envoy, you don't want me to say the situation again, right?" ”

Zhang Ming's face was red and white for a while, and Liu Xiu's threat was very clear, if Lu and Wang Ying heard that the three of his master and apprentice were defeated by Firefox at that time, his face would be lost, and it would definitely reach the ears of his fellow disciples and brothers, and he would become a laughing stock. What made him shudder even more was that Liu Xiu approached him, as if he wanted to whisper to him, but the short knife in his hand was only one foot away from his chest, intentionally or unintentionally, and Liu Xiu could stab the knife into his chest at any time as long as he stretched out his hand.

He had seen the sharpness of this knife and could guess the consequences of being stabbed by Liu Xiu.

Zhang Ming regretted it. With his understanding of Liu Xiu, he should have thought that Liu Xiu would do such a shameless thing, but why didn't he make any preparations, just before Liu Xiu entered the door, he was still struggling with whether to go out to greet him, but Liu Xiu broke into the door, and he didn't even have a chance to resist.

"You...... You can't do this? Zhang Ming was almost pleading, "We...... We're friends. ”

"Friends?" Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows: "What were you doing when your friend was in prison?" ”

Zhang Ming was speechless, he was bent on developing believers, expanding the influence of Taiping Dao, and amassing money.

"What are you doing when you have a big feast? I thought you were afraid that you would not have the money to give gifts, and you were embarrassed to attend, but now that you look at your belongings, you don't look like a person who is short of money. Liu Xiu pouted, the knife moved forward a foot, against Zhang Ming's heart, his left hand reached into Zhang Ming's arms, pulled out the green horn from his hand, looked down, tuck into his arms, and then sat back, quietly put away the short knife.

"The thing is returned to the original owner, and we are now clear. I wonder if Zhang Envoy is interested in talking about cooperation next? ”

"Cooperation, what else to cooperate?" The corners of Zhang Ming's eyes couldn't help twitching, he was excited by Liu Xiu's arrogance and shamelessness, but under the surveillance of the Lu family and Wang Ying, under the coercion of several crossbows and short knives, he didn't dare to make any radical moves. If Liu Xiu kills him, will the great virtuous teacher avenge him? Zhang Ming was not sure, and he didn't dare to try. As for whether Liu Xiu should be intimidated and save some face, this thought swept through Zhang Ming's heart, and no shadow was left.

Liu Xiu dared to kill Cao Jie's whole family, but he didn't dare to kill him as a Taiping Daoist? He may be a figure in Taiping Dao, but this is Luoyang, he is just an ordinary commoner, he dies when he dies, and there will not be many people who can not hesitate to be an enemy of Liu Xiu and uphold justice for him.

"Of course, it's a matter of preaching in Luoyang." Liu Xiu's mouth was crooked, he happily looked at Zhang Ming, whose face was distorted, and stretched out his hand to signal to the Lu family: "This is the heir of the Heavenly Master Dao, and now she is in charge of the teaching affairs of the Heavenly Master Dao, she wants to vigorously expand the preaching career in Luoyang, and wants to cooperate with me." You think, you don't treat me as a friend, I can't be so ruthless, so bring her to meet you, let's discuss, and preach in Luoyang together, how about it? ”

Zhang Ming was angry and funny, and couldn't help but sarcastically: "Even if it's cooperation, it's her cooperation with me, what does it have to do with you?" ”

"Not really." Liu Xiu shook his head very seriously: "You should know that I can still speak in front of the Son of Heaven." If you don't cooperate with me, then if the Son of Heaven issues an edict saying that you are an evil sect and want to fight you, then I will be powerless. ”

Zhang Ming couldn't hold back any longer, and glanced at Lu Shi contemptuously: "Whether it is an evil sect or not, it's not up to you to have the final say, everyone knows what the result of Bishan is talking about the Tao." If you want to preach in Luoyang, you don't just have to rely on the government, you have to have real Taoism to make people believe you. ”

"And let's fight again?" Seeing Liu Xiu's expression, Wang Ying knew that he must have obtained the green horns, without the green horns, Zhang Ming's Taoism would go to seventy percent, and he could settle Zhang Ming without the Lu family's move.

Zhang Ming's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and glared at Liu Xiu, and then protested: "Wang Ying, don't bully the small with the big. It's not that I don't dare to fight against you, but the great sage and good teacher have explained that you can not follow the rules, but we can't mess around. If you want to talk about the Tao, I am not afraid of you, and after the permission of the great sage and good teacher, I will let you see what the real Taoism is. ”

Wang Ying disdainfully waved his hand: "Since you can't be the master, then hurry up and ask Zhang Jiao for help." We are waiting for him in Luoyang. ”

Liu Xiu stood up, looked down at the angry Zhang Ming, and shook his head regretfully: "Sure enough, Yan Zhao is a strong man, and Zhang is arrogant, but he is not a good person to negotiate." In this case, you should inform the Great Sage and Good Master as soon as possible, I will give you three days, and if there is no reply within three days, I will not wait for you, but only introduce the people of the Heavenly Master Dao to Your Majesty. ”

After speaking, he waved his hand, signaling Xu Yu and Zhang Fei to put away their weapons, and when he passed in front of Yang Feng, who was upside down, he suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "I said Miss Yang, your temper should also be changed." Lao Tzu said, Daogui is weak, weak is better than strong, you say that you are a girl's family, why do you raise your eyebrows all day long? As a woman, it is a pity that you don't need to have good qualifications, but you want to learn to have eyebrows. ”

Yang Feng was furious, roared, clenched his fists and was about to rush forward, Liu Xiu took a step back "scared", Xu Yu was just about to step forward to intercept, Liu Bei shouted impatiently, "Let me come!" Yang Feng was shocked and angry, crossed his hands in front of him, and held Liu Bei's fist, before he could fight back, Liu Bei sat on the horse, and with a broken drink, the arm she held was spun in half a circle, drove straight in, and hit her chest fiercely.

Yang Feng was caught off guard, sighed, and took two steps back.

"Hehe, you know how good I am now, right?" Liu Bei shook his fist proudly.

Yang Feng was so angry that his eyes were about to split, and he roared, ready to rush up and fight again, but was stopped by Lan Lan. Lan Lan's eyes widened, she looked at Liu Bei deadly, then looked at Zhang Ming nervously, and shouted in a low voice: "Master, Mozi Five Elements." ”

Zhang Ming, who was sulking, suddenly changed his face when he heard this: "Mozi Five Elements? Is the Holy Maiden in your hands? ”

Liu Xiu smiled: "Don't pretend, do you really don't know or fake don't know, didn't Zhang Jiao tell you." Alas, then you are a little marginalized, not a cronie. With that, he laughed and walked away. Xu Yu and the others followed closely behind. Lu Shi and Wang Ying stayed at the end, keeping an eye on Zhang Ming's every move.

Zhang Ming didn't make any moves, just stood there blankly, muttering to himself: "Mozi Five Elements, how can he practice Mozi Five Elements?" ”

"Master?" Yang Feng was so aggrieved that tears rippled, she had never been bullied like this, "What should we do now?" ”

"Rush back to Julu overnight." Zhang Ming was dripping in cold sweat, thought about it, and then ordered: "You guys pack your luggage, we'll ...... We probably won't be back in Luoyang. ”

When Yang Feng and Lan Lan heard this, they looked at each other, and then they felt the seriousness of the situation. If he doesn't return to Luoyang, that is to say, Zhang Ming's divine envoy can't do it, and all the achievements he made in Luoyang have become a thing of the past.

"Master, how can this be?" Lan Lan said urgently: "Liu Xiu is just annoyed for a while, after all, we still have the love to fight side by side back then, he can have today, and the master has also helped him a lot, as long as he ......"

Zhang Ming shook his head, very depressed. When he left Julu, Zhang Jiao once seriously instructed him to do everything possible to have a good relationship with Liu Xiu, ask people to give people, ask for money to give money, as a result, Liu Xiu was killed and imprisoned as soon as he arrived in Luoyang, he thought that it was no longer necessary to implement Zhang Jiao's plan, and decided to abandon Liu Xiu without authorization, but he didn't expect Liu Xiu to sit in prison for a few months and come out unharmed, but he became the favorite of the Son of Heaven.

Not only did he lose a chance, but he also disobeyed Zhang Jiao's order, and even the reappearance of the divine envoy could not save him.
