In the dead of night, there was no light in Wangshan Village, as if there was no breath of life.

In the woods outside Wangshan Village, Xu Qi looked up at the moonlight, and counted the time in his heart: "In half an hour, it will be the time to enter." ”

Xiaodouzi also looked at the moonlight, and the worry on his face was undisguised: "Brother Xu, can you really save the lives of our villagers?"

Chu Zhou on the side was also a little uncertain, and said, "Brother Xu...... Are you really sure about this? We might as well transfer all the villagers in Wangshan Village to other places, and let them escape this fate. ”

During the day, Xu Qi subdued the armored ghost king Zhao Ziming, but he didn't make any further moves, just explained to the ghost king and asked him to try his best to resist when someone came in the middle of the night. Zhao Ziming, the armored ghost king, didn't know what Xu Qi was thinking, but seeing that he looked confident and seemed confident, he agreed.

Not to mention that the ghost king Zhao Ziming didn't understand what Xu Qi was thinking, even Chu Zhou didn't know what Xu Qi was thinking. Before, he had endured it and didn't ask, but now that the time was coming, Xu Qi hadn't made any moves, and Chu Zhou couldn't bear it anymore.

In Chu Zhou's opinion, the villagers of Wangshan Village must be saved, and the ghost king Zhao Ziming does not have to be so concerned. It's good to save the villagers in Wangshan Village, whether the ghost king Zhao Ziming is alive or dead, Chu Zhou doesn't care very much.

In the final analysis, the ghost king Zhao Ziming is just a ghost, and he still enjoys human sacrifices, which is different from the teachings in Confucianism. For this kind of obscenity that does not conform to the rules of Confucianism, Chu Zhou is very unwelcome in his heart.

Even if the ghost king Zhao Ziming protects the safety of the party, if he wants to enjoy the sacrifice, it should be ordered by the official, which is in line with the rules. To enjoy a sacrifice without a rule is obscenity.

"What is Brother Chu thinking in his heart, he can guess some of it, it's nothing more than obscene ghosts and ghosts, and things that don't conform to Confucian rules, right?"

Xu Qi could see what Chu Zhou was thinking, but he didn't care. After all, Chu Zhou has been taught by Confucianism for many years, although he is different from those rotten Confucians, he will inevitably be restricted by rules and regulations. If Chu Zhou could treat the ghost king Zhao Ziming as an equal, it would be a strange thing.

Chu Zhou nodded and said, "The truth in Confucianism is like this. Although the ghost king Zhao Ziming has the compassion to sacrifice his life to protect the safety of one party, the villagers bow to him, let him enjoy the offerings, and protect the villagers is also what he should do. ”

"Brother Chu is right, but the things in the world can't be simply theorized by Taoism. ”

Xu Qi shook his head and said, "It's true that there is a difference between humans and ghosts, just as there is a gap between immortals and humanes. This ghost king Zhao Ziming did enjoy the sacrifice that he shouldn't enjoy, but this so-called 'shouldn't be enjoyed' is just a rule. But the people's hearts are towards the fairy road, is it in line with the rules?"

After a pause, Xu Qi said: "If you want to strengthen Confucianism and Taoism, you must compete with the Immortal Dao, and the battle of faith between the people is the most important. Why is the immortal road so prosperous? It's just that the people believe in the immortal way. If you want to fight against the Immortal Dao, you must establish a belief among the people that can fight against the Immortal Dao, isn't the ghost king Zhao Ziming a person who can fight against the Immortal Dao, the object of the people's belief?"

"Although there are differences between humans and ghosts, they all have the purpose of fighting against the immortal path. No matter how big or small this goal is, as long as there are people who fight against the Immortal Dao, whether they are human beings or ghosts, what their origins are, or what their race is, I will regard them as friends. But those who stand in the way of this goal, whether it is a Confucian master or a court official, are all my enemies. According to this division, Zhao Ziming and I have the same purpose and do the same thing, so he is naturally my friend. ”

Chu Zhou digested the meaning of Xu Qi's words, frowned, and said, "What Brother Xu thinks is to use a sacrificial ghost like Zhao Ziming to fight against the belief of the Immortal Dao among the people......? Can't Confucianism do it?"

"Confucianism can't do it. ”

Xu Qi had thought about this question repeatedly, and had already made a conclusion, so at this time he answered categorically: "Didn't Brother Chu also say that he once wanted to educate the people with the principles of Confucianism and win the hearts of the people from the Immortal Dao? I also said on the Beam Tower that the people are not stupid, but they cannot be educated by the words of saints. Because what the people want is not to be a gentleman, but to be able to eat well and live a peaceful life. Although the words of the Confucian sages are the true truth, this truth seems too light and fluttering before a full bite of food and a peaceful life. ”

"What Confucianism can't do, Immortal Dao has done it by various means. Alms talisman water, demon subjugation...... The people can intuitively get the benefits, and naturally believe in the fairy way. Not to mention how much dirt there is in this method, if it is successful or not, Xiandao is very successful in this matter. ”

Xu Qi was on Jiuyang Mountain, and he also thought about how to fight against the immortal Dao that was flourishing in the world. Confucianism and Taoism are indeed a help, but the problem of Confucianism and Taoism lies in the fact that there is only a light and fluttering truth, and it cannot really benefit the people, so how can we make the people abandon the fairy road and believe in Confucianism? There is no problem in using Confucianism and the fairy way to fight for the upper level, but if we really want the people to give up their belief in the fairy way, then there must be another faith that is stronger than the fairy road and more conducive to the people.

Not kidding, Xu Qi really had the idea of creating a religion to compete with the Immortal Dao for the faith of the people. However, it takes a lot of time to establish a religion, and it is a trouble just to choose the people who are available to him, and Xu Qi's idea has not been implemented.

There is a way that the stones of his mountain can attack jade, and today when he saw this ghost king Zhao Ziming, Xu Qi's thinking was much broader, and an idea had been vaguely formed in his heart. It's just that this idea is only a prototype at the moment, and it needs to be continuously improved before it can be officially put on the table.

Chu Zhou was about to say something, but he saw light and shadow flickering in the sky in the distance, and five sword lights flew in mid-air, coming towards Wangshan Village.

"Come quickly......"

Looking at the sword light flying in mid-air, Xu Qi subconsciously touched the Jiuyang group demon pendant on his waist, and whispered to Chu Zhou: "Brother Chu, don't be impatient, let's just watch the show with peace of mind." ”

Chu Zhou looked at the five sword lights flying towards Wangshan Village, and was very uneasy in his heart: "Fighting in pairs, I'm afraid it will affect the villagers in Wangshan Village...... Brother Xu, please be sure to make a move when it's time to make a move. ”

Xu Qi nodded, did not speak, and motioned to Xiaodouzi and Chu Zhou not to speak.

The five sword lights flew into the sky above Wangshan Village, and the people on the sword lights appeared, three men and two women, all wearing the same robes.

This robe Xu Qi is very familiar, although there are some subtle differences from the robe on Sun Sheng's body, but it is generally the same. These three men and two women are obviously from the Xianqing faction, and they seem to have a higher status than Sun Sheng in the Xianqing faction.

Xu Qixin said: "Xianqing faction...... It's really fate, you can meet everywhere you go. Well, there are two people from the Xianqing faction who have been handed over to me, and the feud has already been settled, but there are not many of these five or six. ”

The other immortal sects are okay to say, but after seeing the immortal Qing faction, Xu Qi has no reason to let them live. At that time, Li Taizhe Xu Qike, who was chasing and killing him, still remembered that this person could not chase and kill him, and it was very likely that he would send his image to all the disciples of the Xianqing faction.

Xu Qi knew that the Xianqing faction had power in the capital, and he also knew that this was a dangerous place, but Xu Qi was not afraid to show up in front of the people of the Xianqing faction. It's just that showing up is showing up, now is not the best time, Xu Qi doesn't want to be besieged and killed by the Xianqing faction in the open and secretly when he is doing things in the capital.

Among the five sword lights, one of the sword lights advanced several feet, and it seemed that the leader was standing on the sword light.

This man was full of luck, and shouted at Wangshan Village below: "Damn ghosts, Xianqing sent to eliminate harm for the people, don't you catch it quickly!"

Between the words, this person used the means of clearing his heart and awakening his mind, and the villagers who were trapped in the village and fell asleep woke up one after another under this loud shout.

Before the five of them came, they had already heard from the elders of the sect about how the next thing would go, and they knew that this was a passing scene for the villagers to see. Therefore, the person at the head had a relaxed mentality, just waiting for the ghost king to come forward and fight with him, and then be scattered by himself according to the plan.

"The kid who speaks according to the written script dares to rap here?!"

Ghost King Zhao Ziming got Xu Qi's words, where do you care about the plans of the immortal monks at this moment. With a loud shout, Zhao Ziming carried a spear, and the blood in his eyes was cautious, and he rushed towards the person who was the leader.

"This!"

Listening to Zhao Ziming's words, he broke through the roots, and the leader knew that the situation had changed, and his heart was full of doubts. But the villagers in the village have woken up, and they are all paying attention to the movement in the sky at home, and the leader is not easy to say.

Zhao Ziming came with a gun, and the killing force was extremely heavy, obviously wanting to shoot his own life. The young man led by him didn't dare to be careless, spilled Dao sword light, and fought with Zhao Ziming.

The other four saw that the situation was not right, and they also knew that something had changed, so they immediately put away the intention of despising the enemy in their hearts, and came to help with sword light.

Seeing that someone was helping, the ghost king's figure retreated sharply, and he shot out the spear in his hand to stop no one, and his face made of black mist opened a big mouth.

With a loud shout, the ghost king took a big mouth, and with the help of the earth qi of Wangshan Village, he extracted the yin qi between heaven and earth and swallowed it in his mouth.

Just as the long whale sucked water, the ghost king opened his mouth and inhaled the pale black yin qi that was like a substance into his body, and his body suddenly skyrocketed.

The ghost king Zhao Ziming was in the middle temple of this village, and he himself was helped by the local qi of this village, and his strength skyrocketed a lot. Now it is late at night, the true fire of the sun has weakened to the extreme, and the Taiyin star has invested vigorous yin energy between heaven and earth.

In the yin qi, the ghost king Zhao Ziming is like a fish in water, and his strength is nearly seventy percent stronger than during the day.

Now that he extracted the pure yin qi between heaven and earth, the strength of the ghost king Zhao Ziming had more than doubled.

Taking advantage of the time and place, the ghost king forced these five monks to retreat with one hit five, and it was difficult to parry.

In terms of realm, the worst cultivation among these five people is the second realm, the attainment realm is complete, and the strongest of them have the cultivation of the peak realm. However, these people have a single means, and they have not prepared a means against ghosts and monsters in advance, and now they have entered the home field of the ghost king, and they are naturally defeated.

But these five people have also practiced the formation against the enemy, and after a moment of panic, the five of them formed the formation and surrounded the ghost king Zhao Ziming.

The Ghost King is ferocious, and when he attacks any of them, that person's life is in danger. But with the mutual cover and assistance in the formation, these five people can also save their lives under the ghost king whose strength has skyrocketed.

Seeing a ghost and five people fighting together, Xu Qi nodded secretly, no longer looking at the situation in the field, but looked at the mountain in the distance, and his fingers subconsciously rubbed the Jiuyang group demon pendant on his waist.

Now that these people have entered the urn, it is time for them to do it.
