Volume 18 Chapter 23 Bloodstained Qingfeng
Wu Xie and his entourage stayed in the county government for three days.
The inn where they stayed was specially arranged by Baiyulou, and the three small courtyards next to each other were elegantly furnished, and all kinds of daily services were also very clean and gorgeous.
Of course, the cost of living here is also very large, and Dr. Wu once couldn't help but ask about the accommodation fee, and he was so frightened that he almost dislocated his jaw.
If it weren't for the fact that the money had already been paid off by Bai Yulou, probably he would have run back immediately and asked everyone to move out of Lu immediately......
In the past few days, they have been a little confused, and what they do every day is to play and shop in the county government accompanied by the waiters sent by Bai Yulou.
The Eastern Chu Kingdom has been relatively stable in recent years, and the prices are not high, and the shops located in the most prosperous area of the capital of a county can be bought for only five thousand taels, and if you add another thousand taels, you can also attach a mansion - of course, it is not in the same area, there are only shops in the most prosperous area of Zhaoyang City, and there is no home.
According to Dr. Wu's idea, since he has money now, it is better for the three families to move over. To make a living in this Zhaoyang City, as long as you don't encounter any natural and man-made disasters, with the capital of 100,000 taels of silver, it is enough for several generations to enjoy wealth and prosperity. If you are lucky, your descendants may be able to carry forward and become a famous family for future generations......
But after some discussion, everyone still gave up this tempting plan.
The water in Zhaoyang City is too deep, there are too many capable characters, and the wealth of 100,000 taels of silver cannot be transformed into the family's heritage in a short period of time.
If they want to settle down in this Zhaoyang City, I'm afraid that even Bai Yulou may not be able to protect them - Bai Yulou's strength must be very strong, but their friendship with each other is definitely not enough for them to use their real strength to protect everyone.
In this case, it is better to retreat and go back to the county to be a rich man
With a net worth of 100,000 taels of silver, he is definitely the richest man in Anfeng City, the county seat, and he has a little relationship with the world-famous Baiyulou, so he can pull the banner as a backer, and his life will definitely be very nourishing.
"It's just that maybe someone will call it 'the rich man of the countryside, or something...... Lin Xiucai said with a smile, "The rich man of the land is the rich man of the land, what is there to be unpleasant about cultivating and reading heirlooms?" β
The crowd laughed, and the matter was settled.
Since they plan to return to their hometown, then of course they have to buy some local products of the county government to go back, everyone went out separately, and made a lot of purchases, and the things they bought were piled up into a small mountain - for this reason, they had to buy a few Seiko cars, the pure steel skeleton is strong and sturdy, the fine cotton car cover is fluffy and soft, the strong horse pulling the car is tall and majestic, the driver who drives the car is shrewd and capable, and then look at the car full of all kinds of high-quality equipment and property...... It's really envious
After the purchase was completed, everyone returned to their hometown, Bai Yulou found a very trustworthy Nanhua Dart Bureau for them, and Shen Yi, the head of the dart, escorted the dart, and also sent Guan Xiong and Xu Hai two bodyguards to accompany them.
This group of dart masters is outstanding, all of them are extraordinary, there are four or five people in Du Tuan who practice the name of the Dao, and even the executioners who drive the car and do chores are strong and brave, which is really admirable
"Dad, don't you often say that you are very good? How does it compare with Mr. Shen's dart? Du Ruo asked with a grin.
Du Tuanlian's old face turned red, and he thought for a long time before he came up with an answer: "Although Mr. Shen's dart head is much stronger than me, if there are ten or eight people like me, he will also fall into a bitter ......."
"Then you have to be able to surround it." Doctor Wu said lightly, "The biggest feature of the Nanhua Water Sword is that it is light and fast, a guy like you who is as reckless as a cow, even if there are eighty of them, they can't surround Mr. Shen's dart." β
Du Tuanlian suddenly had nothing to say, and everyone in the car laughed together.
The convoy marched all the way on the wide official road, from Zhaoyang City to Anfeng City.
Probably because the Eastern Chu Kingdom is indeed peaceful now, or the Nanhua Dart Bureau is indeed prestigious, in short, they have walked all the way for five days, and they have always been quiet and peaceful, and there is no half of a bandit.
Everyone was very happy with such a smooth situation, but Wu Xie was always a little uneasy in his heart.
"I always felt that it wouldn't go so well...... Wealth is moving, our group of people almost didn't write on their faces, 'I'm rich, now, do you mean that the bandits and robbers have changed their careers and don't love money?' β
"That's right, I guess they must have taken all the men, women, and children in the town hostage, and then let you ransom them for a thousand taels each," Jasmine nodded repeatedly, "It won't be long before the robbers' messengers will deliver giftsβyou think they'll be a pair of eyes?" Or a pair of ears? β
"Don't talk nonsense" angrily reprimanded Jasmine's crow's mouth, but the uneasiness in Wu Jie's heart became heavier and heavier......
As it turned out, he was rightly worried.
On the night of the sixth day, the robbers came
That night, the deafening gong of the night watchman woke everyone from their sleep. Wu Xie rushed out of the carriage that was used as a tent, and saw a lot of firelight in front of him.
The moonlight is nice tonight, and you can see far away in the moonlight. And Wu Xie clearly saw that many sporadic fires were approaching this side from a distance, and secretly estimated that there were at least dozens of them; Behind these fires, there are also slower-moving flares, the number of which is not clear, but rather dense.
From a distance, it looked like a large number of fireflies were flying in the night, flying in a loose formation along the official road.
There was a rhythmic sound in the night wind, and he could hear the sound of horses' hooves, but because the distance was too far away, the hooves were too chaotic for him to tell how many people were coming
ββ¦ The fourth child crossed the heart demon tribulation, how long will he cross" Du Ruo walked impatiently around Wu Xie's side, his face full of worry, "It's like this outside."
"Don't worry, the war hasn't really started yet." Du Xin sat on the bamboo chair next to her, calm and calm, and there was no impatience and worry on her faceβor rather, her face was always like this, as if she had never been expressionless.
Seeing her like this, Du Ruo became more and more impatient and nervous: "You also give a letter of approval, when is he going to cross the catastrophe?"
"The Nine Turns Golden Pill is the most wonderful thing in heaven and earth. I haven't done it, and I haven't seen anyone else do it...... What's the use of me, you ask? It's better to ask Han De. Du Xin said lightly, "He is also a nine-turn Jindan, maybe he knows the situation of Wu Jie." β
"I'm going to ask him? I can't get out, how can I ask?"
"You have to get out of the water...... It's not that there is no way......" Du Xin said leisurely, "The blood river outside looks huge, but in fact, it is mainly due to the formation of the infinite ghosts inside that it has such power. With my ability, it is not difficult to break the formation temporarily and send you out. β
"Then hurry up and send me out of the city, so I can go to Han De and ask"
Du Ruo's words were so strange that even Du Xin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses. She blinked her eyes and asked calmly, "You went out, found Han De, asked for the answer, and then how did you get in?" β
Du Ruo was stunned for a moment, she knew very well that she had absolutely no ability to break through, as Du Xin said, even if she asked the answer, she couldn't come back
ββ¦β¦ So, let's go together? As soon as Sister Du's mind turned, she immediately had a way, "Let's go together, and take care of ...... on the way."
"No," Du Xin said categorically, "I'm going to protect the Dharma for him here, and I won't go anywhere until he achieves the Golden Pill." β
"But when will he be able to achieve Jindan?"
"That's for Han De."
ββ¦β¦ Why did you come back to the topic again" Du Ruo scratched his head irritably, walking around like a tiger trapped in a cage, and his long hair was already messed up like a chicken coop.
Du Xin was silent, her eyes fixed on Wu Jie.
No matter how long it takes, she'll keep it guarded
At this moment, a dazzling light illuminated the entire sky, but it was the monks of the White Lotus Hall who had gathered in the Anqi Temple, and were taking the master of Doom as the core to form the supreme array of Buddhism and demons, the Three Realms Vajra Mandala
The golden light was soft at first, but soon became brilliant and violent, like a sun descending on the earth, but before it could fully take shape, the light suddenly burst out and turned into countless fragments.
The Three Realms Vajra Mandala Array is difficult and profound, and it requires the cooperation of all the gods and monks to cooperate seamlessly in order to form a supreme magic method of subduing demons. The monks had never practiced before, and now it was the first time they practiced, so how could it be so easy to succeed
"It's really a hurry to meet Slow Langzhong," the tall and majestic Master Dutong clenched his fists angrily, "Qingyangguan is surrounded by a river of blood, and it is in danger, but our side is still practicing the formation...... It's annoying."
"It's useless to be anxious, if we can't form the Three Realms Vajra Mandala Great Array, we will also die in vain in the past." Master Mingkong said gently, "If Qingyang Guan really can't insist that we rush to the rescue, then maybe it's fate......
"Phew, what kind of hell is this" Zhang Yunhe, the only contemporary Buddhist layman who is still a Dan master, and is older than Master Mingkong, played with the fishing rod in his hand and said gloomily, "We who cultivate immortals, what we pay attention to is 'people will win the sky, even if the gods really don't give Qingyang a way to live, we have to save them with our own strength."
"That......'s right," Master Mingkong was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "My thoughts are indeed too negative
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the western sky, but he sighed secretly in his heart.
The disaster of Qingyang Temple, Buddhism can try to rescue. But the White Emperor Pavilion is ...... But not even the slightest news could be spread......
At this time, the situation of Qingyang Guan is definitely not good, the Evil Mirror Heavenly Demon has a strong ability, manipulating the blood river around the mountain protection array to constantly rotate and consume, and gradually figured out the operation law of the entire large array. It comes from the upper realm, and its lifespan may be greater than that of all the people in Qingyang Mountain combined, and its knowledge is naturally unusual
It patiently observed for a while, and when it was sure that it had seen clearly, it laughed loudly, manipulated the river of blood and turned into countless blades, stabbing at the mountain protection array in all directions.
These blades were extremely light and thin, and at first glance they seemed powerless, but they lightly pierced into the blue light of the mountain protection array.
No matter how perfect the big array is, there will be gaps after all, but the blade has almost no thickness, and no thickness is in the room, no matter how strong the strength of the mountain protection array is, it can't resist it
In the next moment, the scarlet blood light exploded in the great array, and at least more than ten refining disciples were contaminated with the blood light, and they couldn't even scream, and the whole person turned into blood
