The capital, which was originally like a pool of stagnant water, has recently become lively.

Under the situation that Pudu Cihang's family was dominant, the emperor canonized Li Xiao, who had just entered Beijing, as the protector of the country, and rewarded him with 10,000 taels of gold, a yellow robe, and hundreds of guards to drive him arbitrarily.

Moreover, the Heavenly Master's Mansion where Li Xiao stayed was not only renovated with a wide and wide door, which was very magnificent, but also only a street away from Pudu Cihang's Fazhang Mansion, close to each other, faintly forming a kind of antagonism.

Among these ministers, some of them were demons planted by Pudu Cihang above the court, and there were also weak-minded people who were coerced by Yin Wei, so they naturally fell to the side of Pudu Cihang.

In the DPRK, there are also some loyal and righteous people who are well aware of righteousness, and there are also some people who are good friends with Li Tongshan and Nie Yu, after Li Xiao's clear banner was erected, they also expressed their support either openly or secretly.

Although this force is still inferior to Pudu Cihang's, it is undoubtedly a glimmer of light rising in a depressing darkness, and it is still expanding.

……

……

Heavenly Master's Mansion.

Li Xiao held a pen in his hand, and applied his mana to the tip of his nose, and he was using his own mana as ink and the earth as the open paper, concentrating on depicting obscure and mysterious Taoist patterns.

"Yuan Shi'an Town told Wan Ling Yue to desecrate the true official land and Ling, and the left society and the right Ji must not be frightened and return to the righteous path to clean up inside and outside."

"Heaven and earth are infinite, and Qiankun borrows the law!"

”

And Yan Chixia's palm flew up, accompanied by the sound of a low incantation, on the walls of the courtyard, the tops of the fruit trees, and the corner of the stone platform, all of which were pasted with yellow talismans, and after a while, the entire mansion was suddenly golden and fluttering, dotted into a Taoist holy place.

After working for more than two hours, Li Xiao walked to the center of gravity of the magic circle, and after biting the tip of his tongue, he squirted out a mouthful of the tip of the tongue, activating the entire magic circle.

At this point, around the wall of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, a magic circle with the function of sensing and the primary guardian function was finally successfully arranged.

Looking at a huge formation that almost covered the entire Heavenly Master's Mansion, Li Xiao at this time couldn't help but pant heavily, his forehead was also covered with dense beads of sweat, and his face was a little pale, revealing a look of exhaustion.

The emperor canonized him as the protector of the country, and the difference between him and the protector of the country is only two words, and the meaning is very obvious, that is, to fight against the protector of the country!

However, Li Xiao didn't expect that the mansion he stayed in was actually a street away from the Protector of the Country, only two zhang long, and Pudu Cihang, who was far away, was afraid that he would be able to reach here as long as he took one step.

It was precisely because there was such a god at the door that Li Xiao naturally had to take precautions and take precautions.

So, today, he ordered someone to add some talismans, peach wood and cinnabar, and laid a magic array in the Heavenly Master's Mansion all the time.

I have to say that laying out such a huge magic circle is still a rather draining and laborious thing, even if he joins forces with Yan Chixia, after a while, Li Xiao is already sweating profusely, tired and panting, and after completing it, there is a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.

Yan Chixia was also too tired, and the wet beads of sweat hung on his long beard, like a broom stained with water, dripping constantly: "The magic circle is finally completed, if Pudu Cihang dares to break in rashly, we can also sense it for the first time, and it also has the ability to touch the guard, and when facing demons, it can also resist for a while." ”

Li Xiao nodded undeniably, his mana was overdrawn a lot, and his eyes also revealed a little tiredness, so he hurriedly sat down on the stone bench, began to breathe and breathe, and regained his mana.

Yan Chixia took off the wine gourd on her back, uncorked the bottle, and the rich and intense seemed to float in the courtyard suddenly, Yan Chixia raised her head, her throat gurgled and rolled, and the liquor went down, and a trace of blush appeared on her face, and even the tired color was relieved a little, as if he could really relieve fatigue by drinking.

……

……

And at this moment, the magic circle in the courtyard suddenly buzzed, the talisman seals hanging on the treetops fluttered widely, and the patterns of the Dao Law depicted on the ground were also shining brightly.

Li Xiao opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes flashed like a substantial essence: "The magic circle seems to have sensed." ”

"The mana fluctuation from here is not weak, could it be ......"

After listening to Li Xiao's words, Yan Chixia suddenly became alert, and even the magic sword behind her flew out of the sword box and fell into his hand.

"May I ask if Li Tianshi is here?"

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, followed by a knock.

Listen to the footsteps, look at the posture, there are still a lot of people?

Could it be that Pudu Cihang dared to attack the Heavenly Master's Mansion openly during the day, or did he say that he was about to turn into a dragon and was about to completely tear his face? Li Xiao couldn't help but think.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, if Pudu Cihang comes, I want to see who wins and who loses with me and Yan Daxia, as well as the power of this method array."

Li Xiao raised his hand, and a swirling force was generated in his palm, and the closed iron door automatically divided to both sides.

It's just that when the door opened, Li Xiao and Yan Chixia looked out of the door vigilantly, and their expressions were involuntarily stunned.

The people standing outside the door were not Pudu Cihang and his men, on the contrary, they were either wearing robes or Taoist robes, and they should be Buddhist and Taoist people.

Li Xiao was shocked in his heart, exchanged a look with Yan Chixia, and looked at each other.

It turned out that so many people of Buddhism and Taoism came, and their cultivation was not bad, and it was rare to see one or two on weekdays, not to mention that so many people gathered here at once.

However, since he is a person of Buddhism, of course Li Xiao can't lose his courtesy, and after coming back to his senses, he also stepped forward and asked, "Fellow monks, who are you?" ”

"Li Tianshi, we are here to defect to you."

"The demons in the DPRK and China are rampant, stirring up the community, we are here to help you."

Li Xiao was still a little stunned, but after a long time and figured out the ins and outs, he understood in his heart.
