Chapter 45 The Long River Turmoil
The Tang family's troubles did Xu Changqing a great favor, because there was only one exit from the room where Xu Changqing lived, and there was indeed someone guarding the door at that time, so Xu Changqing was opened by the Zhao family from the object of suspicion. In the next day or two, Xu Changqing took two apprentices and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street of Changhe Township. In the end, even the family members in the back room of the Zhao family also disguised themselves and took their subordinates, and came to ask Xu Changqing for a hexagram, wanting to ask for an auspicious statement, which made the last few people who formally monitored Xu Changqing also withdrawn. However, the fortune-telling in the past two days also made Xu Changqing more sure that there would be something to do in Changhe Township, because in his eyes, the entire Changhe Township, whether it was a peddler or a pawn, or an old lady and a noblewoman, was all a mortal appearance.
More than a dozen people died in the Zhao family in one night, and the imprisoned snitch was gnawed into bones, although the Zhao family tried their best to cover it up, but it was still vaguely known by the villagers of Changhe Township from the mouths of the Zhao family, and for a while, the three-day banquet that was supposed to be festive became a little gloomy. Many people speculate that the Zhao family must have offended some high-ranking person to be so vicious, and some people even speculated that the reason why the Zhao family wanted to marry their daughter this time, which they had always looked down upon and thought was the Tang family of the Wufu family, was mainly because they already knew that the enemy would come to retaliate, so they took the Tang family as a disaster.
Hearing this, Tang Wei and Tang Biao both deeply felt that their Tang family was being treated as a monkey to be tricked, and they were extremely angry, coupled with the things that were born in the Tang family, their attitude towards the Zhao family changed from enthusiasm at the beginning to indifference now. The gentry of some small villages also noticed that the anger of the two became very embarrassed, and they didn't want to be caught between the two and be difficult to be, so they shirked their family affairs and left Changhe Township. So much so that on the last day of the luncheon, the number of people attending the banquet suddenly decreased by more than half, and the scene was extremely deserted, Tang Wei, who had long been prejudiced, thought that this was another humiliation by the Zhao family to him, and his face was so angry that his face turned blue, if it weren't for Tang Biao beside him, he would have brushed his sleeves away.
Xu Changqing has had a very good life in the past two days, and he has gained a lot of money by setting up a fortune-telling stall in Changhe Township, almost the sum of the fortune-telling money obtained from the Chen family, and even Huang Juan joked that he would simply set up a fortune-telling stall here. Xu Changqing didn't tell the brothers and sisters about the purpose of coming here, he didn't intend to involve the brothers and sisters from the beginning, he had already engraved the things that the brothers and sisters should learn into their consciousness. When dealing with the Netherworld Sage, they will be allowed to avoid first, and the trip to Beiping on the fifth day of the fifth month of May will first entrust them to Chen Zhangping, the fourth elder of the Chen family in Tianjin, and the Chen family will take care of them.
After counting the last hexagram of the day, Xu Changqing was ready to pack up the stall and leave, to participate in the Zhao family's evening banquet, the banquet started at night, and ate in the form of a flowing water banquet until the end of the night, when Tang Wei would welcome the bride after the banquet and bring it back to the Tang family. Xu Changqing decided that after the first round of banquets, he would leave Changhe Township, place the Huang family brothers and sisters in a safe place, and come back to seize the treasures.
Just as Xu Changqing was about to close the stall, a young man with a horizontal stripe and a fierce appearance sat in front of his hexagram stall, threw a few pieces of broken silver, and said, "I heard that you are very accurate, I want to calculate whether I can succeed tonight?"
For a question about this man's brainlessness, Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, then looked at the man's face, understood a thing or two, took a lesson casually, pretended to close his eyes mysteriously and thought about it for a while, and said: "It can be done, but it is fruitless, the bamboo basket will draw water, and it will harm itself, so it is best for the brother to think twice." ”
Hearing Xu Changqing's words, the man frowned, his face was displeased, and he was about to smash the stall, but he was afraid of attracting attention, so he glared at Xu Changqing fiercely, got up and left quickly. After this person left, Huang Juan pulled Xu Changqing's clothes and said, "Master, that person is a murderer, and his qi is dead, it should be a mortal situation, right?"
Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, he calculated that the man was dead, completely based on years of numerology experience, but Huang Juan was also able to calculate it accurately, which was really strange. So he looked down at Huang Juan and asked suspiciously, "Xiao Juan, can you still use the Dao method to push one palm to determine the world?"
Huang Juan shook her head blankly and said, "The disciple doesn't know what's going on, but when that person spoke just now, the disciple also counted it with the master, and that person's life and luck all appeared in the disciple's eyes, and the disciple deduced it based on this." ”
"What is such a thing?" Xu Changqing's face changed slightly, and he asked, "Have you ever had this situation before?"
"No!" Huang Juan shook her head affirmatively, and then heard something wrong from Xu Changqing's words, and asked, "Master, did I have a mistake in my practice to be like this?"
"Master, my sister will be fine, right?" Huang Shan also came to join in the fun.
Xu Changqing smiled, reached out and touched Huang Juan's head, and said, "It's okay, it's okay! Xiaojuan is fine! Very good! It's okay to know today's things by yourself, and definitely don't say it." After seeing Huang Juan nodding his head, he said to Huang Shan: "Xiaoshan, you must remember that no matter what happens in the future, you must protect your sister and don't let her be hurt in any way!"
"Well, I'll definitely protect my sister. Huang Shan clenched Huang Juan's hand vigorously and nodded vigorously, his little face showing a hint of firmness.
Xu Changqing nodded with a smile, cleaned up the hexagram stall, and led the brothers and sisters to the main courtyard of the Zhao family. On the way, Xu Changqing couldn't help but be happy in his heart, he felt that his decision to take these two children as apprentices was the most correct decision he made. The reason why Huang Juan was able to calculate numerology after her mind and mind were closed, and she could still see her life and luck in her eyes, was mainly because she had a pair of eyes that leaked out of the sky. Buddhism has the magic power of leakage, Taoism has the art of heavenly machine, they are all used to observe the great power of the three worlds of heaven and earth, and the eye of heaven is a combination of the strengths of the two, God endows a human innate ability. But all the people who have leaked the eyes of heaven are all famous people in the world, the most famous of which are Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang, Shao Kangjie and Liu Bowen and so on.
For this kind of leaking Heavenly Eye, Xu Changqing has always only regarded it as a myth, in his opinion, even an immortal who has attained the Tao cannot count thousands of years of everything, but he didn't expect that today he saw his apprentice wield a legendary ability that leaked the Heavenly Eye. This made him have to believe that there is really such a thing as a leaking eye in the world, and being able to accept a person who has a leaking eye as a disciple is definitely the most beautiful thing in the line of a ninth-rate idler, but he can't let others know, because mastering the eye of leaking is equivalent to mastering the world, and this temptation is definitely not something that ordinary people can resist.
Because he learned that Huang Juan had this kind of leaky eye, Xu Changqing felt that he should re-plan his plan and decide whether to send the two brothers and sisters out of Changhe Township first. While Xu Changqing was thinking about other things, something happened to the Zhao family that made the entire Zhao family feel flustered, the eldest lady of the Zhao family, Zhao Kun, suddenly disappeared, and a letter appeared in her boudoir claiming that she hoped to live a free life, and her distant cousin who couldn't beat with eight poles disappeared with her.
At the same time, something happened to the Tang family, Tang Wei, who was supposed to pick up the bride, was gone, and the room he lived in was extremely messy, as if he had been fighting, and there was a big pool of blood on the ground. His nephew was gone, and there were blood stains in the room, Tang Biao, who was an uncle, suddenly thought of the Zhao family's unwarranted enemy, so he ran to the Zhao family's side to ask the teacher for the crime, and asked the Zhao family to find out their nephew.
Suddenly two people disappeared in the house, and they were the groom and the bride, and the Zhao family immediately became a mess, sent all the subordinates to look around, and finally found a corpse behind the rockery at the exit of the Zhao family's backyard. The head of the corpse was cut off, and the clothes on the body were also stripped naked, and the only thing that could be identified was that there was a half-moon-shaped birthmark on the right shoulder of the corpse, according to which Tang Biao judged that the corpse was Tang Wei's. And next to the corpse, I found a golden hairpin, which was specially made by a Shanghai master as a dowry for the eldest lady of the Zhao family, and there was only one in the entire Changhe Township, that is, the one worn on the head of the eldest lady of the Zhao family.
At this time, a picture appeared in everyone's minds, that is, the eldest lady of the Zhao family was about to escape from marriage, and accidentally met Tang Wei, because Tang Wei stopped her, so she and her cousin killed her, cut off her head, and stripped off her clothes, making it impossible to identify the identity of the body. Tang Biao immediately cried and rushed to the old lady of the Zhao family, shouting for the Zhao family to pay for their lives, although they were immediately pulled away, they still refused to give up, and took their subordinates to prepare to leave, and went back to move people to ask the Zhao family for their crimes.
When the head of the Zhao family first saw this scene, he was also made lose his square inch by the situation in front of him, and when he saw Tang Biao clamoring to go back to find someone to ask the Zhao family for guilt, a bad thought suddenly arose in his heart, and he must leave all the people in Changhe Township. So without waiting for Tang Biao to react, he gave a look at the people around him, and dozens of Zhao family members rushed to the Tang family one after another, picked up the things they could pick up, and slammed them towards the Tang family's vital point. When they came to their senses, more than a dozen people, including Tang Biao, all died at the hands of the Zhao family. Although the head of the Zhao family didn't know why he suddenly had such a killing thought, he had done everything, and it was useless to regret it, so he ordered that all the Tang family members would be arrested immediately, and no one would be allowed to be let go.
After Xu Changqing saw Tang Wei's corpse, he quietly retreated, took his two disciples, and hurried towards the city gate. He knew very well that that person was definitely not Tang Wei, because the palm of the corpse was extremely rough, not like the hand of a rich young master, the only possibility was that this person was a stand-in deliberately arranged by Tang Wei, that is, after he left, he wanted to make the Tang family think that he was killed by Zhao Kun, and ask the Zhao family to avenge the insult he received. However, what really frightened Xu Changqing was that after the corpse, a Dao power of the heart mantra came from outside the earth city, covering the entire earth city in it, imperceptibly affecting the hearts of the people in the city, making them gradually become crazy and murderous.
Xu Changqing asked himself that with his own Dao method, it would not be difficult to cast such a city-wide Ecstatic Mind Charm, but if he wanted to make the Ecstasy Spell work in the Taiqing Liangyi Locking Spirit Array, it would not be something he could do with his current skills. In his opinion, there is only one person who appears here and has such strong skills, and that is the Netherworld Great Sage Yin Kui, it seems that Yin Kui can't help but take matters into his own hands.
When Xu Changqing arrived at the city gate, the people of the entire Changhe Township had been completely affected by the enchantment, and the noise and fights were endless. At this time, the guards of the Zhao family guarding the earthen wall suddenly sounded the alarm bell of the attack of horse thieves, and then the gate of the earthen city in Changhe Township was opened by a large hole in the earthen cannonball, and it fell down with a bang. Xu Changqing lifted the Huang family brothers and sisters and hid in the dark part of the city wall, only to see a sound of horses' hooves, and a group of horse thieves dressed in black rushed in from the gate of the mountain city, although the person covered his face, Xu Changqing could see from his eyes that he was the one who looked for him to tell his fortune during the day, that is, Tang Tianhao, the fourth master of the Tang family.
After Tang Tianhao rushed into the city, he immediately held his saber high, shouted to snatch the eldest lady of the Zhao family and the heirloom of the Zhao family, and led the people to rush towards the Zhao family's house. Because of the influence of the Mind Charm, he became extremely murderous, drew his saber and slashed at those who stood in his way. And the people, who were supposed to be screaming and fleeing in all directions, became mad, and rushed forward with red eyes, not fearing the horse thieves in the slightest.
"Master, what's wrong with them?" Huang Shan couldn't help but ask in fear when he saw the old lady who had given the bun to eat during the day like a beast and pounced on the horse thief who rushed in like a beast, tearing it at his neck.
"Don't speak, keep your mind, don't be carried away by the curse. Xu Changqing didn't expect that the Netherworld Sage's Enchanted Heart Mantra would be able to draw out all the violent beastly nature of human beings, and he couldn't help but overestimate the Netherworld Sage's strength again.
When Tang Tianhao's people all rushed into the city, Xu Changqing rushed out of the city gate with his two apprentices in his arms, and after breaking away from the Taiqing Liangyi Lock Spirit Array, he ran the ghost and god walking pole and galloped towards a mound ten miles away in the southeast.
Along the way, Xu Changqing saw seven or eight horse thieves rushing towards Changhe Township, this is still a direction in the southeast, and there are only more horse thieves in other directions, and they are all fascinated without exception, clamoring to rob the heirloom of the Zhao family and the eldest lady of the Zhao family. It seems that the Netherworld Great Sage is also very afraid of the Taiqing Liangyi Lock Spirit Array, and wants to borrow the killing resentment of mortals to break this great array that has existed for hundreds of years in the form of blood sacrifice. If it was the Taiqing Liangyi Lock Spirit Array of the Jindan Sect of the Emei Quanzhen Southern Sect, there was absolutely no way to break it with his method. However, this big array in Changhe Township has neither an eye nor a person in charge of the array, and it is not difficult for Xu Changqing and the Netherworld Great Sage to break it.
