-- Time goes back half an hour --

When Zhang Huang sneaked into the mansion of Duwei Mayan to prepare for the assassination, Tang Zhou of Taiping Road was in the room of the mansion where he was staying, slowly combing his clothes.

Not far from him, Wang Dazhuang, who had a two-sided relationship with Zhang Huang, stood up straight.

"Are you sure you don't need Tang to cast a spell for you and get a bowl of talisman water?" Glancing at Wang Dazhuang, who had a blue nose and swollen face and was covered with straps, Tang Zhou asked indifferently.

"Thank you Immortal Master for your concern. It's just above the skin, and it's not in the way. Wang Dazhuang politely replied when he heard this. Although he knew very well that Tang Zhou's Daoist was extremely high, and a bowl of talisman water could easily heal his injuries from being beaten by the Fei County soldiers, he didn't want this. Because he needs to use the pain in his body to alleviate the pain in his heart.

Wives and daughters were killed, how can this kind of pain of family ruin and death be resolved in one or two days? Although he had endured it with all his might in front of Zhang Huang, and had made up his mind to use his life to overthrow this decaying dynasty, in his heart, he was not thinking about his deceased wife and daughter.

Glancing at Wang Dazhuang deeply, Tang Zhou did not persuade again, and after a pause, he said slowly, "Your decision, Tang is clear. But becoming strong doesn't happen overnight......"

Wang Dazhuang was silent for a moment when he heard this, his voice lowered slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "The matter of my wife and child made me realize that this world has been corrupted to the point of unbelievable, and there are demons and evil people wearing human skins but cannibalism everywhere...... Immortal Master, please give me the power to exercise 'great righteousness'! ”

"Great righteousness ......" Tang Zhou muttered, and suddenly asked rhetorically, "What is righteousness?" ”

Wang Dazhuang was stunned, frowned and thought about it carefully, and said, "Kill the adulterer...... Removal of adultery? ”

Tang Zhou's eyes faintly revealed a little imperceptible disappointment, and he said lightly, "What kind of power do you want to have?" ”

When Wang Dazhuang heard this, he couldn't help but recall the strength that Zhang Huang showed when he rescued him in Fei County that day, and said in a low voice, "A few days ago, I met a young hero named Zhang Huang in Taishan County, I thought that this person was a local martial artist, but I didn't expect that Zhang Huang brother actually mastered a wonderful spell, and killed the county lieutenant Wang Hu lightly. Can the Immortal Master give me the strength that is not much different from that of Brother Zhang Huang? ”

[Xiao Huang?] ]

Tang Zhou was stunned, and then remembered that Zhang Huang seemed to have followed this Wang Dazhuang for the first time to see him Shi Fu Shui to treat the refugees, and after shaking his head slightly, he said with a little amusement, "How many years do you think he has studied Taoism hard to have his current attainments?" ”

Wang Dazhuang was silent, after all, to his ears, this was almost Tang Zhou's rejection in disguise.

To Wang Dazhuang's surprise, Tang Zhou suddenly changed his tone after saying that, and said with a smile, "Besides, how amazing do you think that kid's strength really is?" ”

"Huh?" Wang Dazhuang raised his head in surprise, because Tang Zhou's tone vaguely revealed a message, that is, Zhang Huang's strength was actually not as powerful as he thought.

As if seeing the shock in Wang Dazhuang's heart, Tang Zhou smiled lightly, "Tang can't let you gain strong strength in a short period of time, but there is someone who can ......."

"Who?"

"Zhang Bao." Tang Zhou calmly spit out the name of a big man in his mouth.

"Zhang Bao? Is this man amazing? More powerful than the Immortal Master? Wang Dazhuang looked at Tang Zhou suspiciously. At the moment when Taiping Dao had not yet launched a rebellion, how did he learn that Zhang Bao's identity was the famous 'Digong General' in the future, and he was stunned when he heard the words.

"Awesome...... Less. Tang Zhou shook his head and explained, "This person is proficient in the method of Danding, and the Qi refining pill he has refined can make you a strong person in an instant...... Of course, the price to pay for this is also very heavy. Taking that kind of elixir will damage your Yangshou Genyuan, and if you fail, you will die immediately; Even if you succeed by luck, you can't tell when you will die violently...... In other words, taking that kind of elixir is equivalent to stepping into the ghost gate with one foot, and there will be no turning back. ”

Wang Dazhuang's face changed slightly when he heard this, and after gritting his teeth, he asked in a low voice, "This cheap life has long been something outside the body, I only care about how strong I can become after taking that kind of pill...... Please also ask the immortal master to make it clear. ”

Glancing at Wang Dazhuang, Tang Zhou said lightly, "If you are lucky enough to succeed, then Zhang Huang at this stage will not be able to match you!" Looking at this Taishan County, there is no one who is your opponent. ”

Hearing this, Wang Dazhuang's breathing suddenly tightened a little, and after a few traces of essence gleamed slightly in his eyes, he knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Please make it happen to the Immortal Master!" ”

"Let's go to Julu, just say that I recommended it by Tang Zhou. As long as you report my name Tang Zhou, you will get your wish, but what will happen to you, whether you will become a corpse or really have good power, this immortal master does not make any guarantees. ”

"Thank you, Immortal Master!" Wang Dazhuang kowtowed to Tang Zhou a few times, and then got up and exited the house.

"Foolish!" Looking at the door that closed again, Tang Zhou shook his head slightly, and muttered to himself, "The 'righteousness' you comprehend is just a 'small righteousness', a 'great righteousness'...... Be far greater than you realize! ”

But then again, Wang Dazhuang, who was born as a refugee, is really difficult to make a person with strong willpower like Tang Zhou have any changes in his feelings. If he still cares about anyone in Taishan County, I'm afraid only Zhang Huang is there.

After all, putting aside Zhang Huang's unspeakable special identity as a 'vital chess piece', Tang Zhou was also full of good feelings towards him.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, a little confusion appeared on Tang Zhou's face, because he suddenly felt that there was an abnormal fluctuation of Dao techniques in this county.

"Interesting...... Which ignorant guy is trying to perform Taoism in the county? Don't you know that all the stone bricks used to build the walls of the city are 'Zhoushan stones'? I don't know how thick the sky is. ”

I want to ask what kind of strange thing is this 'Zhoushan Stone' in Tang Zhou's mouth? That's a long story.

Speaking of which, although the Han Dynasty overthrew the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, and Confucianism advocated 'not messing with the gods with strange powers' and was keen on the development of Confucian miscellaneous studies (more on this later), it is undeniable that there are still many legends such as immortals, gods and demons among the people, which have become the talk of the people after tea and dinner, and 'Zhou Shan' is one of them.

In folklore, Zhou Mountain was originally a mountain connecting heaven and earth in ancient times, that is, the Heavenly Pillar, but few people know the name.

The word 'Zhou' in Zhou Mountain, it refers to thoughtfulness and completeness, so the meaning of this mountain name together becomes 'a comprehensive and complete mountain', but what if one day this thoughtful and complete mountain is no longer complete?

Ah, then this mountain is called Buzhou Mountain!

In the legend, when Zhou Mountain, the Tianzhu Immortal Peak, was knocked down by a big man, it was called Buzhou Mountain. The strange stone refers to the broken stone that has broken up from this heavenly pillar.

Although this is just a legend, it is undeniable that Buzhou Stone has unimaginable power, even a small piece of broken stone can have the effect of suppressing evil spirits.

It is no wonder that, after all, the Buzhou Stone is a broken stone peeled off from the pillar of heaven in the legend, according to the folk people, with the same life as the heaven and earth, and the same light with the sun and the moon, compared with the level of all things in the world and other creatures is not only how much higher. Within the power range of this strange stone, whether it is the qi of a martial artist or the aura required for Taoism, it will be suppressed to the limit.

Zhang Huang probably would never have thought that the stone bricks used to build the city wall in Taishan County were all such inconsiderate stones. Such a huge number of stones suppresses all the demonic qi in the vicinity (the demon here does not mean monster, it refers to abnormal, unnaturally generated qi. That is, [if there is an abnormality, there must be a demon]. ）。

Remembering that Zhang Huang was still shocked when he assassinated Du Wei Ma Yan, he didn't want to think about it, but he was within the range of the power of a huge number of Buzhou Stones, how could he drive the Dao technique like an arm again?

I have to say that Zhang Huang's miserable defeat at the hands of Ma Yan is indeed a bit unlucky, after all, he doesn't know that the city walls of Taishan County, the stone lions of the county government and many other buildings that have survived for dozens or even hundreds of years actually contain the power that can suppress and disperse all the unnaturally formed qi, and he even delusionally thought of killing Ma Yan with Taoism in the county.

If it was outside the city, Zhang Huang's chances of winning against Shang Ma Yan were not low, after all, Taoism restrained the rigid body of the martial artist in a sense, but not in this Taishan County, he would not even have a chance of winning.

It can only be said that Duwei Ma Yan took a big advantage without realizing it, because the qi of his rigid body was actually applied to the human body itself, and did not belong to the outside world, unlike Zhang Huang, so although Bu Zhou Shi also suppressed his qi, it was far inferior to Zhang Huang.

Having said that, in fact, not only Taishan County, but also many cities above the county seat in the world are built with Buzhou stone, one reason is that Buzhou stone is hard and difficult to destroy; Another reason is that because Buzhou Stone has the effect of suppressing demons and breaking the qi, it can effectively prevent the occurrence of unrest events in the city and consolidate the defense of the city.

It is said that since the beginning of the pre-Qin states, there have been countries that have built city walls with this kind of stone, and this tradition has continued to the current Han Dynasty, as for the reason, it is not difficult to guess.

It is worth mentioning that Tang Zhou was able to perform Taoism in Taishan County, which was full of Zhou Shi, and used Fu Water to treat refugees, without being affected by Zhou Shi, it is not difficult to guess that his strength is far higher than Zhang Huang.

To get back to the point, because he knew that there was a hidden reason for the existence of the stone in Taishan County, Tang Zhou was amused that a certain guy who didn't know the height of the sky wanted to perform Taoism in the city. But when he thought about it, he gradually felt that something was not right.

After all, he Tang Zhou had also been in Taishan County for a few months, but in such a long time, he had only met Zhang Huang, a person with Dao power fluctuations in his body.

A person who has the fluctuation of Dao power and has learned Dao techniques, but has not been able to isolate the influence of Zhou Shi, is only Zhang Huang in his impression of Tang Zhou.

[Could it be Xiaohuang...... Why did he perform the Dao Technique? Could it be that he is fighting with people? Wait a minute...... Xiao Huang's strength is not bad, and it can be said that he is second to none in this Taishan County, if anyone can force him to use Taoism...... Could it be that Xiao Huang actually planned to assassinate Ma Yan? ]

Tang Zhou Junxiu's face changed color slightly, because in his sense, Zhang Huang's group of people were just a few little ghosts who were not deeply involved in the world, and they did not necessarily know the existence of Zhou Shi, and it was also very likely that they did not know that the cities in the world had a certain suppression and dispersal power for demonic energy.

[Oops...... This 'chess piece' is a matter of importance, involving the general trend of the whole world, if there is an unforeseen ......]

Even if it was Tang Zhou, cold sweat was faintly oozing from his brain. It is not difficult to guess that there must be a huge black curtain hidden in this.

Thinking of this, Tang Zhou pinched his fingers to calculate Zhang Huang's position at the moment.

"In the woods outside the West City Gate!"

A word came out of his mouth, and countless runes flew out of Tang Zhou's arms, constantly rotating around his body, spinning and turning, and in the blink of an eye, his whole person disappeared into place out of thin air.

Almost instantly, in the forest outside the West City Gate, a strange wind rolled up countless rune papers that came out of nowhere, spun in place, and revealed Tang Zhou's figure a moment later.

【Fu Seal Dao Escape Technique】

And at the moment of arriving at the destination, Tang Zhou was surprised to find that a figure quickly rushed into the forest. Because he didn't expect this in advance, Tang Zhou didn't clearly see the appearance of that person, but he was surprised by the strong strength that the other party had.

Even Tang Zhou would not have thought that before him, a huge man blindfolded with the word 'dog' could easily save Zhang Huang under Ma Yan's domineering fist. And at the moment when Tang Zhou appeared along with the countless runes, the big man—let's just name 'Gou'—quickly left, as if he didn't want to meet Tang Zhou here.

Why is that?

Looking at the dog dressed up and down, it is obvious that he is also a member of the Yellow Turban Army of Taiping Dao, and he can also be called a person of the same path as Tang Zhou, but why doesn't the dog want Tang Zhou to find out about him? It seems that the dog doesn't want Tang Zhou to know about his existence.

I am afraid that this mystery will only be cleared up in time.

At least for now, Tang Zhou is full of shock and confusion.

[Who?] Who saved Xiaohuang before me? And...... This oppressive force is quite impressive. ]

Tang Zhou squinted his eyes and carefully examined the forest, hoping to find the figure of the dog, but unfortunately, the dog seemed to melt into the night, even if it was Tang Zhou, it was difficult to find the slightest clue.

After thinking for a while, Tang Zhou, who was puzzled, had no choice but to suppress all the suspicions in his heart, bent down to help Zhang Huang, who was unconscious, and diagnosed his injuries.

[Hmm...... The injury wasn't too bad, fortunately! ]

Tang Zhou nodded and secretly snorted a fluke. It's hard to imagine that an injury as strict as Zhang Huang turned out to be only a minor injury in Tang Zhou's eyes?

Just when Tang Zhou carried Zhang Huang on one shoulder with his seemingly weak body and was about to leave, Du Wei Ma Yan finally reacted, pointed at Tang Zhou with the weapon in his hand, and scolded, "That thief, you are also here to save this little cub?" ”

[Also?] It seems that I didn't guess wrong, someone did save Xiaohuang before, but why didn't you dare to see me? ]

A strange look flashed in Tang Zhou's eyes, and he didn't say a word.

How did Ma Yan know that Tang Zhou was thinking about the dog, seeing that Tang Zhou was silent, he said that he was afraid, and said with a sneer, "It seems that it is indeed the companion of this little cub, just take it together!" As he spoke, he led the dozens of county soldiers to kill Tang Zhou.

Looking coldly at these guys who were killing themselves, Tang Zhou's eyes gradually flashed with a bit of murderous intent.

Suddenly, Tang Zhou's shoulders and back burst into flames, and faintly visible, a bird formed by flames in an incomplete form slowly stretched its wings in the flames and chirped at the sky.

In an instant, Ma Yan and the dozens of county soldiers only felt as if a strong light was blooming in front of them during the day, white and red, making it difficult for their eyes to look directly.

They subconsciously closed their eyes, but this time they could not open them again.

In just the blink of an eye, the incredible white and red strong light disappeared, and what was shocking was that where Fang Cai Ma Yan and the dozens of county soldiers were standing, the ground within a radius of dozens of zhang turned into a scorched earth, not to mention, it was about to crack and not to mention, and it was slowly emitting hot smoke, even the air seemed to be scorched, and there was a faint smell of unpleasant burning.

At this time, he looked at Ma Yan and the dozens of county soldiers, but he could no longer see these people, as if they had dissolved in the red white bright light.

"Ordinary people who don't know the height of the sky!"

With a cold snort, the endless yellow rune paper wrapped around Tang Zhou and the Zhang Huang he was carrying on his shoulders and disappeared without a trace.
