Volume 1 The Human World Chapter 173 Sacrificial Vessels (2-in-1 Chapter)
Tie Jun has never been a good-tempered person, but he is also not an uneducated person.
There are not many scenes like today, or even never, where you can scold without two sentences.
However, he had to do it, because on the way here, he received the flying sword transmission from Ming Jian, and Ling Qingwu was about to move.
The flying sword can only transmit some very short messages, so it is inevitable that some words are unknown, but then the words are unknown, Tie Jun also knows how to move Ling Qingwu, this is an agreement between the two, Ling Qingwu will monitor Xia Jiang nearby, if he has any abnormal movements, he will be killed, a hundred, the so-called couch is not allowed to allow others to sleep peacefully, Dengzhou Mansion is Xiao Jiuqian's territory, he will not allow other gods to share their incense here, the same reason, Tie Jun has already regarded Tanglin as his own territory, will not allow people like Xia Jiang to stir things up, and they want to use themselves as whetstones, it's a joke
However, Tie Jun is the lieutenant of Tanglin County, and he is the second person of the government in Tangling, if the county order is killed in Tanglin, it is naturally a dereliction of duty, and the official position is definitely not guaranteed, so Tie Jun has been throwing a rat taboo, unwilling to officially turn his face with Xia Jiang, and Xia Jiang is also because of this, he stayed in Tanglin safely for a long time, and he was ready to start calculating Tie Jun.
It's just that neither he nor Lao Luo realized that those who count people are also counted as people.
Take the opportunity of the mountain gods of Qingzhu Mountain to calculate Tie Jun, and similarly, Tie Jun can also take this opportunity to calculate them
Should be called by the prefect to crusade against the demon god, this is official business, Tie Jun's reason for leaving Tanglin is justified, during this time, Xia Jiang had an accident, most of the responsibility is not on Tie Jun's body, even if someone wants to take the opportunity to make trouble, the matter is not big, at most it is just a beating on Tie Jun, and his official position cannot be wiped out on this ground
However, in order to achieve this purpose, Tie Jun needs an alibi, if he follows Mr. Shen up the mountain, during which Xia Jiang is killed, things will be variable, stay at the bottom of the mountain, and have been following the prefect Jin Zhiyang's side, there will be no so many scruples, there is Jin Zhiyang, the prefect, to make an alibi for him, as well as the Jiyin County Order and the famous martial arts masters and more than 200 soldiers in Dengzhou Mansion, such an alibi, no one can overturn it at all, so Tie Jun will break out just now, Regardless of the image, he wants to stay in this place with a dead face.
Mr. Shen took Guan Yan Yukun and Xiong Tianbao up the mountain, and the rest of the people found an open place and began to camp, of course, these trivial things did not need them to do it at all, and the two hundred soldiers had already done it for them.
After a while, the soldiers began to make a fire and make rice, and in a short time, the heavy smell of rice filled the camp.
Jin Zhiyang was in a very bad mood, glared at Tie Jun fiercely, and gathered together with Chai Xin, the commander of Jiyin County, each picked up the food sent by the soldiers, and ate without saying a word, Tie Jun also held the meal, and did not avoid the two of them, on the contrary, when eating, he approached the two and sat down less than half a zhang away from the two.
"Tie County Lieutenant, your anger is so big, sitting so close, I'm afraid that it will burn us at that time" Jiyin County Ling Chai Xin Yin Yang said in a strange way, with the meaning of expelling guests in his words.
"I don't care if it burns you." Tie Jun raised his eyebrows and sneered,
"Yan Tuanlian has already gone up the mountain to investigate, and he is in danger, and there can't be no one around him, otherwise something happens, will you bear it or me?"
Chai Xin's tone froze, and then he said, "Aren't you injured?" ”
"What if I'm injured, it's my duty to protect the adult, don't say I'm injured, even if I only have one breath left, I have to do my duty, but you, I have no obligation to protect you, if there is any three long and two short, I won't care if you live or die."
"You ......" was so unlucky that Chai Xin's face suddenly turned green.
"Tie Jun, can't you speak well?" Although he didn't want to admit it, what Tie Jun said also made sense, this was a dangerous situation, if there was no master to protect him, if something happened, he would regret it, so his tone towards Tie Jun also became softened.
"Your Excellency, the lower official is not in a good mood because of his injury, if there is anything missing, please forgive me."
"You, alas, are young, but your temper is not small." Tie Jun's attitude changed, and his tone softened.
"Am I being forced too? This is too big, my lord, my ability is limited, not only my ability, but everyone present combined, can't cope with this situation. ”
Speaking of this, he pointed to Qingzhu Mountain, which had become half of it, "Look at it, isn't this a toss of people, the power of the gods is so much, we mortals have the heart to interfere and can't do anything, I know that Lord Lu Dao summoned us here with good intentions, and he wants to eliminate harm for the people, but this is really an extraordinary human enemy, the matter of the gods, or leave it to the gods to deal with, you see?" ”
"What you said also makes sense, but what the specific situation is, we will have to wait for the Yan Tuanlian envoys to come back
"Yes" This time, Tie Jun didn't prick his thorn, but honestly retreated, but he didn't retreat far, he was always under his nose, chewing his food slowly, and from time to time he said a few words to the people around him, showing his sense of existence.
In this way, an hour passed, the sky was completely dark, the soldiers lit a bonfire, and Jin Zhiyang gradually became impatient.
Just when he was about to get up, there was a sudden loud noise from the top of the mountain, and after that, the mountain shook for a while, and countless boulders fell from Qingzhu Mountain, and the place where they camped was not far from Qingzhu Mountain, and suddenly there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping.
"Adults be careful" At this time, Tie Jun finally played the true character of a dog's legs, hugged Jin Zhiyang, unfolded his body, walked between the flying stones, dodged the falling rocks, the camp was already a chaos, and the martial arts were also high in the way of getting up, far away, those soldiers with low martial arts were not so lucky, lucky, running faster, out of danger, running slower, either smashed bones and tendons, or stoned to death on the spot, poor Jiyin County Ling Chai Xin was hit by a big stone in the brain, The brain burst out, and the death was extremely tragic.
"How did it come to this?"
Tie Jun took Jin Zhiyang and avoided hundreds of zhang away, before he stopped, Jin Zhiyang's face was pale, his two calves trembled violently like sifting chaff, his lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but he really couldn't say a word, and his eyes looking at Tie Jun became grateful.
If it weren't for Tie Jun just now, he would probably have been stoned to death like Chai Xin, this is a real life-saving grace, based on this alone, he doesn't think Tie Jun is as hateful as before.
Because of the distance, the shaking of the ground was not as violent as before, but the loud noise on Qingzhu Mountain did not disappear, but intensified.
"How can this be, how can this be" replied to his mood slightly, and Jin Zhiyang paused again and again
"It seems that someone has ulterior motives" Looking at the movement on Qingzhu Mountain, a sneer appeared at the corner of Tie Jun's mouth, "As far as I know, none of the three people who went up the mountain have the ability to make such a big move, but since the movement has come out, it means that someone has such an ability, to put it bluntly, one of the three has hidden his own secrets, has a powerful magic weapon on his body, or has some powerful magical powers, only in this way can he set off such a storm and make the mountain god so annoyed, huh?" ”
As he spoke, Tie Jun's eyes narrowed, and among the flying stones in the sky, a small black shadow flew out from Qingzhu Mountain, and flew towards their position.
Tie Jun narrowed his eyes, and at the same time, the Tianlong chanting method was activated, and when the black shadow was about to fall, his telekinesis moved, and he threw it up again, and it fell right in his own hand.
After the thing was in his hands, Tie Jun didn't look closely, but then hid it in his sleeve, Jin Zhiyang was jumping there fiercely at this time, and he didn't notice Tie Jun's small movements at all.
A whole pillar of incense time passed, and the movement on Qingzhu Mountain stopped, everything was calm, but the camp was also a mess.
In this case, Tie Jun helped Jin Zhiyang aside to rest, but he commanded the guys who were still alive to collect and bury the corpses, disperse the vigilance, and toss for another hour before calming down
However, until this time, the few people who entered the mountain still did not appear, it is estimated that there is more luck and less luck, and the newly established camp has completely fallen into a sluggish atmosphere, and the masters have complicated expressions, and they can't help but show a desire to return.
Tie Jun naturally did not easily follow their wishes, and waited patiently for more than an hour to protect Jin Zhiyang, at this time it was already past three watches, and everyone seemed to be sure that none of the three people who went up the mountain were spared, and finally someone put forward a proposal to return to Jiyin County.
After going through so many things, Jin Zhiyang also beat the drum in his heart, and he didn't want to stay here longer, and now someone mentioned it, of course, he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and nodded in agreement.
When I came, there were more than 200 people, but when I went back, there were only fifty or sixty people left, all the way to Jiyin County, all the way to Jiyin County, all the way, Tie Jun was attentive to Jin Zhiyang, and he was always by his side, so that Jin Zhiyang was a little satisfied with him.
When I returned to Jiyin County, it was already dark, and seeing these people come back like lost dogs, it immediately caused a commotion in the city, and on the same day, many residents in the city fled from Jiyin City
As soon as they returned to the county office, they went to rest, only Tie Jun was called to the study by Jin Zhiyang, Jin Zhiyang was also sick and rushed to the hospital at this time, a conquest, in vain, and also lost most of the soldiers and a county commander and regimental training envoy, which made him feel pressure.
Speaking of which, this Jin Zhiyang is also a very depressed character.
As soon as he came to Dengzhou, Jiang Kun was overwhelmed by the original regimental training, and when Jiang Kun was killed, he got the support of the Seven Kings, and he was in charge of the overall situation.
It was when he was ambitious and wanted to make a big event, who expected that the situation would change abruptly and the demon god would be born, and as the prefect of Dengzhou Mansion, he was facing tremendous pressure.
Rescue to the imperial court is the right intention, but as a member of the bureaucracy, he knows better than anyone that this so-called rescue is simply a gesture, and the far water can't save the near fire, so he also wants to save himself, and the smartest way is to compromise with the mountain god and take a step back.
This is not without precedent, in fact, in many places, there will be this kind of compromise between the local government and the demon gods, sacrificing a few boys and girls every year to seek temporary peace and prosperity, in their eyes, it is not an unacceptable thing.
Of course, as an official, you can't openly support this kind of thing, you can only leave it to the local tyrants to handle it, and the government just takes a tacit attitude.
But at this time, something strange happened, Yixiu suddenly appeared in front of him and conveyed to him the instructions of the Seven Kings, and he actually wanted him to cooperate with Chenghuang and summon the martial arts people of Dengzhou Mansion to go to crusade against this mountain god.
He had no objections
Because in his opinion, it was clear that he was going to send him political achievements, and it was too late for him to be happy.
But what happened next made him feel as if he had fallen into a pit.
The summoning order was issued, and the top ten masters of Dengzhou Mansion were also quite face-saving, and seven came at once, but from their mouths, Jin Zhiyang got a bad news, that is, the mountain god is not so easy to deal with, in the realm of a god, not to mention a demon god, it is a yin god without a body is not an ordinary martial arts master can fight, only the master of the innate level is qualified to fight with such a god reluctantly, it is just a battle, and he must win the battle, At least you need an innate master who has experienced the thunderstorm, such a master, not to mention Dengzhou Mansion, even the entire Yanzhou, I am afraid that you will not be able to find it.
However, he still has some luck in his heart, because the city god will also make a move, before the action, the city god Xiao Jiuqian had a dream to him, saying that the city god will lead his Yin God to crusade against the mountain god together, even if he can't destroy the mountain god, he can also weaken the strength of the mountain god to the greatest extent, and then let the master of Dengzhou Mansion pick up the cheap, and he will be able to defeat it.
He just listened to such words, so he gathered so many people to crusade against the mountain god, but he returned in vain, but lost so many people, and others were just that, Jiyin County Ling Chai Xin and Dengzhou Mansion League Training Envoy Yan Yukun are officials of the imperial court, how did they die, why will they die, the court will definitely ask, if one is not handled well, he will be used as a scapegoat and pushed out.
How do you keep him from panicking?
And now, the only person who can give him an idea is probably an iron jun.
Everyone else is a Jianghu character, how strong can you expect them to have a strong sense of the big picture, and how much can you expect them to know? Nothing can be counted on.
He can only count on Tie Jun, although he has always looked down on Tie Jun, but Tie Jun is an official of the imperial court, the court really inquired, the first one to ask is Jin Zhiyang, the second one is Tie Jun, he will not pay attention to the words of those people in the rivers and lakes, even if he will inquire about these people in the rivers and lakes, the so-called top ten masters of Dengzhou Mansion, it can only be used as evidence.
So everyone else rested, and he invited Tie Jun to the study, his attitude was countless times more polite than before, looking at Tie Jun's eyes, as if he was looking at his confidant and general, which made him quite uncomfortable.
"Tiexian Lieutenant, this crusade against the mountain god has been fruitless, and the losses are so heavy, the court has inquired about it, and you and I have a lot of responsibility."
A sentence of "you and me" brought Tie Jun in.
"Hmph, my lord, what does this matter have to do with you and me" Tie Jun naturally understood what he meant, and immediately showed an angry look, "If it is according to the adult's plan, how can it be such a disaster, then Yan Yukun is greedy and reckless, insists on going up the mountain, and does not challenge the mountain god with his own strength, so that the mountain god will suddenly launch when we are not ready, and the adult's plan will be ruined, if it is not for the adult's decision with the lower officials, I am afraid that the whole army has been wiped out by now, my lord, this time we must go to the court to treat this Yan Yukun's crime"
"Ugh"
Jin Zhiyang opened his mouth, looked at Tie Jun with a look of righteous indignation and righteousness with a dull look, and it took a while to ease up.
"What, my lord, isn't what the lower official said wrong?"
"Yes, yes, yes, very right, that's it, it's Yan Yukun who is greedy and insists on going up the mountain" Jin Zhiyang hurriedly said, showing a sad expression, "Alas, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault for being too soft, and I trust him too much, if I can hold on, there will be no such ending."
"Adults don't have to blame themselves, how can this be blamed on your head?"
Tie Jun's tone became more and more intense, "That Yan Yukun has always been domineering, and he didn't put the adult in his eyes at all, if it weren't for the overall situation, the adult would have punished him a long time ago, but it's a pity, this person can't wake up when he dies, and he has given so many people's lives after the most reluctance, my lord, this matter should be taken as a warning."
"Yes, yes, take it as a warning, take it as a warning" Jin Zhi raised his head and nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and saw that Tie Jun was more and more pleasing to the eye.
This kid, although he is quite prickly, is really a smart person, with a black heart and poisonous hands, and he does everything he can, so quickly he thought of putting all the blame on a dead man, and he made meritorious contributions after the most deplorable, talent, real talent, why didn't he find it before?
No, I used to be very hostile to him, but now that I think about it, I don't have much contradiction with him, mainly because he has a close past with Jiang Kun and the Lu family, so he will think about dealing with him, now Jiang Kun is dead, and he has never shown the intention of being an enemy of himself, such a character, it is better not to offend or not to offend, thinking of this, his smile became more and more kind.
"Okay, okay, everyone is dead, no matter how great the guilt is, it's all gone." He said to Tie Jun, "But I still have to explain this matter to the imperial court, and the imperial court will definitely send someone down to inquire, it doesn't matter between you and me, but those people in the martial arts ......."
"Don't worry, my lord, I believe that they have long been dissatisfied with Yan Yukun's arbitrariness." Tie Jun smiled.
Back at his residence, thinking about what happened today, Tie Jun just sneered.
When entering Jiyin City, Tie Jun received the flying sword transmission from Ming Jian again, and Ling Qingwu had already succeeded, that is to say, this woman had already slaughtered Xiajiang in Tanglin County.
During the whole process from preparing to successfully finish, Tie Jun has always been in the sight of Jin Zhiyang, the prefect of Dengzhou, and even saved Jin Zhiyang's two lives, which is almost the most perfect alibi, and the most important thing is that Tie Jun left Tanglin because of the prefect's order, this is official business, during his official duties, no matter how big something happens in Dengzhou Mansion, his guilt will be exempted from ninety percent of the responsibility, and the rest is not to worry about at all.
As for everything he said with Jin Zhiyang, it was completely because of the influence of the world in his previous life, and the officials had shirked their responsibilities, attacked each other, and shirked the blame before.
At this time, almost all the troubles were solved, except for the city god Xiao Jiuqian.
As soon as he thought of Xiao Jiuqian, Tie Jun felt a headache, this guy was like a ghost, and it had always been his biggest heart problem.
And it's clear that this ghost is now a growing threat to him.
Tie Jun judged that this guy was cultivating supernatural powers in retreat or refining magic weapons, not nonsense, but the result of speculation based on various signs.
And once he succeeds in cultivating supernatural powers or magic weapons, then Ming Jian's trouble will be big, and Ming Jian's trouble will be big, and his trouble will be big.
Therefore, if you want to develop in Tanglin with real peace of mind, you have to get rid of Xiao Jiuqian's big trouble.
"No matter what the situation of the mountain god is now, the matter of Jiyin County is already over, according to Jin Zhiyang's character, at the latest, tomorrow, he will return to Dengzhou Mansion, when the time comes, I will take the opportunity to go to the City God Temple to see what the situation is, it is best to take this opportunity to kill this guy, however, with the strength of me and Master, it is very difficult to do this."
Tie Jun is self-aware, and deeply understands how difficult a god like Xiao Jiuqian is, he is only the strength of forty-five fierce horses, and a second-rate master is impossible to defeat.
Plus the Ming Sword is not good, the Ming Sword has a magic weapon in his body, but his background is too shallow, not long after becoming a god, where is like Xiao Jiuqian, becoming a god for a thousand years, magic weapons and magical powers are endless, just looking at the divine weapons in his hands with three heads and six arms, you can clearly know how difficult he is.
"Let's get to the bottom of this guy first." Tie Jun made up his mind, so he didn't think about it anymore, and as soon as his sleeve moved, a small and delicate little clock fell into his palm.
Sacrificial vessels
This is a sacrificial vessel
The so-called sacrificial vessels are used by mortals to worship ancestors or gods, some good quality sacrificial vessels, which can gather incense, and can also manifest ⊥ gods and spirits, and exert all kinds of magical powers.
Different from the magic weapon, the magic weapon does not have the effect of the magic weapon, in essence, it is still a sacrificial vessel, it is a handicraft, and because it is a sacrificial use, all the utensils are very exquisite, this is not comparable to the ordinary magic weapon, the small bell in his hand is the same, the bronze background color, the top of the angler is carved into a dragon head, the lower end is carved with an eight-leaf lotus platform, each petal of the lotus platform is very clear, the technique of relief is adopted, the floating part and the bell body are integrated, there is no abrupt feeling at all.
