Chapter 229: Rushing to Catch It

At that time, Chen Ping'an went to the Chenghuang Pavilion to explore the truth and reality, and Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng went to the county guard's mansion, and the two were already mentally prepared to run into a wall.

I didn't think that under the recommendation of his son Liu Gaohua, Liu Junshou, who was full of melancholy, soon met the bearded man and the young Taoist priest in the living room, not only did he give an eviction order, but he didn't even ask Xu Yuanxia to show a few domineering swordsmanship, nor did he let Zhang Shanfeng control the peachwood sword to fly all over the yard, after listening to the ventilation report of the two of them, he hesitated slightly, and let the two of them follow him to the main hall, the two were surprised, there were seven or eight people sitting in the main hall, there were not only armored warriors sitting by the sword, but also elderly civil officials pointing at the map of the county town, and a few full of energy, men and women with abundant gas, at first glance, they are cultivators, if they don't deliberately hide the weather and breathing, they should all be Qi practitioners in the Three Realms and Four Realms.

Liu Taishou gave a general introduction, most of them were local outsiders in Rouge County, and there were also outsiders who rushed to hear the news, similar to Xu Yuanxia.

Xu Yuanxia focused on observing an ordinary-looking man, with a calm momentum, who should be a master who does not make a move, and will inevitably be thunderous when he makes a move.

Zhang Shanfeng took a few more glances at the "Chongmiao Taoist", the old Taoist was leisurely drinking tea, and there were two brass wrestlers with a height of one zhang standing behind him, "Lux" is the unique symbol of the Taoist Fu Zheng School, many without wisdom, and will only obey some of the simplest instructions of the master, such as killing the enemy. A high-quality brass wrestler, whose combat power is comparable to that of a martial artist in the Three Realms, should not be underestimated, and must not be regarded as a crude and stupid puppet.

Liu Taishou gave Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng, who arrived later, a general description of the current situation, and then sighed with some emotion, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your help, if you can survive this catastrophe, Rouge County will definitely set up a monument for you and write it into the local chronicle." ”

Almost all of the people seated stood up and returned the salute and said something incumbent on them.

Liu Taishou walked to the table, there were two maps on it, one was a map of the situation of the county town, and the other was a map of the six counties of Caiyi Country including Rouge County, Liu Taishou stretched out his finger and pointed to a place between Rouge County and the neighboring counties, "I just got a good news, General Ma and the old fairy are personally watching at the head of the city, six hundred elite horsemen have left the station, and they are quickly moving towards our county town, and they can enter the city at the latest today, and the two thousand foot soldiers should arrive outside the city after the hour." ”

Liu Taishou is the first time to deal with this kind of accident, so anxious that his throat and eyes are smoking, plus he has been running around here before, he has been worried all day long, and his voice is hoarse when he speaks at this time, and he quickly took a cup of hot tea brought by the old man of the staff.

The old man who had been giving advice in the county guard mansion for many years, instead of Liu Taishou, stood at the table, and pointed out the past one by one, "The Northeast City God Pavilion, the Embroidery Lane in the north of the city, the Matou Bridge in the south, the Vertical Copper Tower in the west, and the Zhao Mansion in the middle zone, these six places found so far are all strange, and the City God Pavilion has been urgently closed, and the two immortal masters who sneaked into it have not yet come out." Six people died violently in Embroidery Lane, and 32 local families have all moved out. There is a man-eating water demon under the Matou Bridge, and I don't know if it is flowing along the river to other parts of the city, which is quite tricky. The vertical copper pagoda that was originally used to warn the immortals on the mountain has now collapsed, and the old man guarding the pagoda has also died violently, as for the Zhao Mansion, there are more than a dozen crazy people, and they have an attack inexplicably, like a plague, and even the officials who went in to check the situation have gone crazy, so that we ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Taishou coughed lightly, and the old staff member stopped talking.

After all, if it is spread out, it is not very good, and it may affect the reputation of the county keeper.

Because the Zhao Mansion has been the same as the City God Pavilion, the government has sent people to strictly seal the exit, and no one in the palace is allowed to go out.

The old Taoist with the lofty Taoist number put down the teacup and said with a smile: "The stakes are very high, what Lord Liu has done is extremely courageous, it is for the consideration of tens of thousands of Li people in the county town, I believe that after the Zhao Mansion, as long as there is a little conscience, I will be grateful to Lord Liu for today's decision." ”

The armored military general sitting on the chair of the Golden Sword Horse glanced at the Chongmiao Taoist and pulled the corners of his mouth, full of sarcasm.

Liu Taishou was a little embarrassed, and said softly: "Don't be grateful, if you can be considerate, this official will be very pleased." ”

He quickly changed the topic and sighed: "It's a shame that the old fairy happened to pass by our county, watched the sky at night, and found a strange appearance of yin qi above the county town, otherwise we would definitely be in the dark now, and once the incident happens, we will be caught off guard by that group of demons, and the consequences will be unimaginable, unimaginable!"

Xu Yuanxia asked: "That vertical copper tower, the function is like a beacon at the border gate, which can transmit signals to the immortals on the nearby mountains?"

The armor-clad military general's face was full of gloom, and he nodded: "That's right, it's just that the demon is ruthless and cunning, and he has made a poisonous hand, so that the county town and the immortal Lingxi sect nine hundred miles away from the county town have lost contact. ”

The armor-clad military general squinted at the complacent Chongmiao Taoist, how to look at it and how to be beaten.

A most ordinary flying sword message, he actually opened his mouth to ask for 100,000 taels of silver, really didn't know the market of the mountain post station?

It is estimated that the two bronze wrestlers were invited, and Liu Taishou was not asked to pay for it in private.

The military general is General Ma's deputy, and he has been galloping on the battlefield at the border for many years, although he has never been used to seeing Liu Taishou such a nerd in the past, but this time the catastrophe is coming, watching this famous pen in the country of colorful clothes run forward, not only did he not hide under the bed in fright, but also tried his best to maintain the overall situation, so that his impression of this civil official has changed a lot, but to the old Taoist who took advantage of the fire to rob, the impression is extremely bad, you have a family background in the Rouge County City, why do you sit on the ground and start the price? The county town is shattered, even if you can escape from the Daoist people, you don't care about your family disciples and ancestors, and you are not afraid of the four walls of the family in the end?

Xu Yuanxia asked, "Liu Taishou, dare to ask the immortal master of the Lingxi Sect, when will he be able to come to Rouge County?

Lord County Shou smiled, "Fortunately, among the mountain gates of the Lingxi Sect, there is a thousand-year-old Cailuan, it was the mount of the ancestor of the Lingxi Sect, after the death of the ancestor immortal, Cailuan has never left the mountain, the heads of the past dynasties can ask it to do something, Cailuan can carry five or six immortal masters on its back to come in the wind, if there is no accident in the flying sword transmission, I believe that the Lingxi Sect will probably be in the sky above the county at noon tomorrow." ”

Liu Taishou sighed, suddenly raised his voice, and encouraged everyone to say loudly: "So I need to rely on you to help the county town hold out until the Lingxi Sect Immortal Master arrives, at least until noon tomorrow!"

Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng's eyes met, and their faces were not relaxed.

Zhang Shanfeng was even more worried about whether Chen Ping'an's trip to the City God Pavilion would have an accident.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

The east gate of Rouge County has a towering city tower, two floors, triple eaves rest mountain style, there is the tendency of the dragon and the tiger.

General Ma is wearing armor, not new and bright, but very old, covered with sword scratches, obviously, is the beloved thing of the border generals of the Caiyi country, there are not many border wars in the past hundred years, but there are occasional conflicts with the ancient Yu country in the north, so the battlefield martial arts treat military merits, always pay attention to it, often become the key to the advancement of the army and the temple climbing, if it were not for the fact that this Ma general had no one to help speak, I am afraid that he would have already become a young military boss.

On the top floor of the city tower, General Ma suddenly saw the old immortal looking in the direction of the City God Pavilion, and he didn't retract his gaze for a long time, thinking that there was another emergency, and asked, "Old Huang, but the demons inside are starting to show up?"

The old fairy with fluttering sleeves stroked his beard and smiled: "It's okay, I have my own way to win, the place we really need to pay attention to is still in the Zhao Mansion in the center of the city, this place is too close to the county guard's mansion, once there is a change, the consequences will be serious." Fortunately, I went south this time, met two close friends, are the leaders of the righteous immortal family on the mountain, they were originally going to go to Guanhu Academy together, and the masters discussed, now the matter is urgent, I don't care about whether it will delay their trip, I have sent a message to the two of them, to ask them to quickly reinforce Rouge County, it is estimated that they will soon be able to come to the wind, then I and General Ma will join forces to guard the east gate of the city, one of the two old friends is keeping an eye on the Zhao Mansion, by the way to protect the safety of the county guard, and one more person goes to the west of the city to sit in the town, plus the monks and heroes in the county guard, I believe that this demon rebellion will not erode the county。 ”

General Ma clasped his fists and said gratefully: "If it weren't for Elder Huang who first discovered the clues, he would have quickly informed us that the people of the county town would have suffered a great disaster this time." Huang Lao is also willing to risk his life and take a righteous shot, I am a rough man, I can't say pretty words, but I definitely remember it!"

The old immortal shook his head with a smile and said, "If you cultivate on the mountain, it is for yourself to attain the Tao and ascend, regardless of the suffering of all sentient beings, then what kind of immortal do you cultivate? What do you want to live forever?"

General Ma hammered the armor on his chest with his fist, then stretched out his thumb and said with sincere admiration: "Elder Huang, just by saying this, you are really cultivating the Tao!"

Speaking of this, the middle-aged military general said indignantly: "As for some immortal masters in Caiyi Country who can only sell their reputations, especially the people in the capital, hmph, it's really shameless, all day long, they just reach out to the court to ask for money, build immortal pavilions and build high-rise buildings, and work the people and lose money...... Alas, don't say it, the more you talk about it, the more angry you get!"

The old fairy put his hands behind his back, and said with an indifferent smile: "Which river in the world is not full of mud and sand? General Ma doesn't need to be too resentful, since everything is like this, just do your best first." ”

The military general nodded, thinking deeply, and admired the old immortal beside him more and more at the same time.

Immortals are not only blessed in the caves on the mountain, but also under the mountain.

The old immortal used his supernatural powers again, squinting his eyes and trying his best to look at the side of the City God Pavilion, but because it was too far away, the specific scene was blurry. It would be nice if Mi Lao Mo was there, he would be able to watch the fur of the mountains and rivers a little bit, and at such a distance, he should be able to see it clearly.

However, the secret formation of the City God Pavilion was broken, he just had a sense in his heart, and he was sure that it was correct, there must be a guy who is not self-sufficient to act as a hero, it doesn't matter, he has already arranged a back hand over there, Jin Chenghuang and the statues of civil and martial arts on both sides have long been secretly moved by Mi Lao Mo, and at the cost of a huge price, with a special incense that has lasted for more than 20 years, let them unconsciously become impregnated with demons. For this reason, Mi Lao Mo also made a fool of himself with the three of them, and asked for three spiritual weapons before he would give up.

Therefore, the slight turbulence of the City God's Pavilion cannot affect the final flow of a big river.

After nearly 30 years of conspiracy, how could the strength of the four parties work together to fall short?

Unless a land immortal from the Ten Realms descended from the sky and suddenly threatened to protect this Rouge County City, it was possible for them to stop.

However, the Divine Sect and the Guanhu Academy, as well as the movements of several great immortal mountain gates, they have already felt it clearly, and it is impossible for any Ten Realms Qi Practitioners to be born, not to mention that the big guy who has been in the Yuan Infant Realm has never seen the beginning and not the end, to put it mildly, it is really to see the situation here, as long as it is not a famous and decent ancestor who is upright, and is upright, it is still two things to say.

The general trend has been achieved, and the overall situation has been decided!

The old fairy smiled in his heart, he actually wanted to turn his head, pat the shoulder of the honest general, and joked with a smile, "Brother Ma, your eyes are not very good." I'm not a righteous immortal master, but an evil demon who everyone in your mouth can be punished for. Your so-called Immortal Master of the Capital City of Caiyi Country, two of them are the most famous, but they are all my descendants. ”

These outsiders and wild cultivators were originally thieves and rats in the mud of the fields, and what they begged was that they would not open for three years, and they would open for three years and eat for three years!

After this incident, the magic weapon was in hand, and it was a big deal to retreat for another twenty or thirty years, go to a place further south, secretly plan a bigger deal, and then be a good man. Maybe one day, it may be possible to become an existence like the White Emperor City of the Middle Earth Divine Continent, although he is a well-known demon in the world, but who dares to call him a demon to his face? The vast majority of the great cultivators of the Upper Five Realms in the world also dare not!

But this kind of beautiful thing, the old fairy just wants to think about it and have fun.

The old fairy looked at the south, and then turned his head to look at the north, a little hesitant, after the matter is completed, to take refuge in the south, it must be the most stable, if you go to the north according to the agreement, you will be rich and dangerous, but as long as you live to the end, it is a monstrous wealth.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

According to the requirements of the little ancestor surnamed Fu, the Shenyu Sect and his party went to find the obscene mountain temple, but halfway through, the luck of the mountains and rivers changed greatly, from turbidity to clear, the leading old Taoist Zhao Liu was stunned, and decided to go to the mountain temple first, and found that the mountain god surnamed Qin had broken his golden body and completely died。

After that, the old Taoist returned to the town, hesitated for a long time, and decided to go to the ancient house alone to repair the relationship with Yang Huang, who had become a ghost.

Once Yang Huang and his wife take this opportunity, both Uncle Fu will help them make a final decision, and they don't have to worry about being settled by the Divine Decree Sect, and now they have kept the ancient house formation, not to mention, they are more expected to climb the realm, maybe with Yang Huang's excellent qualifications, after the tree charm female ghost is no longer a burden to him, he will one day become a loose cultivator in the middle five realms, he can fully foresee the future step by step scene, such as Yang Huang's temperament is not pedantic, in the early years in the Divine Decree Sect was very popular, and he is a native of Caiyi Country, with a little operation, it is impossible to say that Yang Huang or his wife can become the orthodox mountain god of the imperial court, if it is the latter, it will be scary, husband and wife, they are all the existence of the cave realm, who does not stammer, it is very likely that the Divine Decree Sect will push the boat down the river and give goodwill!

What will he Zhao Liu do when the time comes?

When the time comes, it's useless to kowtow to people and admit their mistakes, so it's better to lower your posture now and take the initiative to show goodwill.

Zhao Liu's mind has been decided, there is no twist in his heart, Dafang went to the ancient house, congratulated the husband and wife on their hard work, admitted their mistakes with others, made amends and drank three glasses of punishment wine, and gave a very low but very pleasing small spirit weapon, Yang Huang is also a wonderful person, not long after tearing his face, now he Zhao Liu's guilt, he is very polite and enthusiastic, saying that he will drink wine, and even the spirit weapon has been accepted, but after drinking, he was half drunk, Yang Huang began to scold Zhao Liu, and finally even the female ghost couldn't stand it,

After persuading for a long time, Yang Huang just didn't listen, and Zhao Liu didn't say anything at the wine table, and he endured it.

After that, Zhao Liu stayed in the ancient mansion and summoned the disciples of the Divine Decree Sect in the town, and then the group stayed for another day.

Harmony and harmony, harmony and exactness.

When Zhao Liu left, he knew that everything Yang Huang did was just a show, and he would only look down on himself more and more in his heart, and Yang Huang would rather scold the gentleman than provoke the villain's smart idea. However, Zhao Liu's trip is not in vain, the relationship between the two can be very content, friends are far from counting, don't expect anything in this life, but you will not become an enemy, you will run well in the future, spend more thought, come to this rouge county to run around, and even have the opportunity to become a nodding friend who can get by on face.

Zhao Liu's mood was complicated and he led the team back to the north, but as soon as he walked out of the dozens of miles of mountain road, Zhao Liu's discovery that something was wrong with Rouge County, but the old immortal master of the Divine Sect was silent and just hurried.

That night, when everyone was sleeping on the top of the mountain, the young disciple of the Three Realms Sword Cultivator found the old Taoist standing on the edge of the cliff and asked softly: "Master, there is obviously a demonic aura pervading the Rouge County City, and the momentum is not small, dare to be so blatant in the county town, it must not be an ordinary demon, should we rush over and take a look?"

Zhao Liu smiled and said, "Even you can see the demonic aura over there, and the master is not blind." ”

The young man chewed carefully on the taste of the master's words, and asked tentatively, "Then let's send a message to the sect with our flying sword?" ”

The old man squinted his eyes and looked at the night sky above the Rouge County City, and said slowly: "Uncle Fu wants us to suppress the obscene mountain god surnamed Qin, and now that the mountain temple has collapsed, we have also recovered three pieces of golden body fragments. ”

The old man turned his head and said softly: "Xiping, you need to know the good things in the world, don't overdo it." Once you and my master and apprentice choose the flying sword to interrogate, the sect will send someone to the Caiyi Country afterwards to carefully check the matter, and when the time is compared, we will be intimidated, and it will be easily exposed. What about these words, just because you are my most proud disciple, as a teacher, I am willing to dig out my heart and lungs with you, remember not to pass on the six ears. ”

The young sword cultivator was convinced, and lowered his voice and said, "Master is wise, and he has no last resort!"

Zhao Liu looked back at the bonfire in the distance, the three disciples of the Divine Decree Sect were sleeping cross-legged, the youngest of them, when he was asleep, between his breath and breath, there were faint wisps of mist hanging on his ears and nose, on the other hand, the two sisters and brothers who entered the sect earlier, the weather was far worse. The old man frowned and said in a low voice: "This matter, you have to talk to that little kid, this kid has a keen sense, don't look at him pretending to know nothing, in fact, we can fool the pair of sisters and brothers, but we can't fool him." If you don't make it clear, it will still be a disaster for him to return to the sect and say that he leaked his mouth. ”

The young sword cultivator nodded.

Zhao Liu turned his head and looked at the disciple with a smile, and said with a pleasant face: " Xiping, it's not easy to block that ghostly little cub, didn't you steal a piece of golden body fragment, this is not in accordance with the rules, once discovered, the sect is to be punished heavily, take it out, the master will help you give it to him, it depends on whether he dares to accept this hot potato, accept it, in the future, you and I master and apprentice, that is, all the way, back to the mountain, there will be a response to each other in the future, the master can also be regarded as helping you pave the way and build a bridge, if you don't accept it, hehe, the master is the leader of your experience this time, he is already responsible for the investigation, and he has to submit the documents to the outer door afterwards, within the rules, I want to disgust the child's backer, no one can find fault. ”

Then the old Taoist spread out his palm and stretched out his hand to the young sword cultivator, "Take it out." ”

The young sword cultivator's face turned pale for a moment, but he quickly squeezed out a smile, without hiding it, let alone the slightest reluctance, and quickly handed the largest golden fragment to the old Taoist.

Zhao Liu put away the golden fragments and said with a smile: "Yo, it's not small, one piece can top two pieces, it seems that that kid's luck is really good, and he picked up such a big one for nothing." ”

The young sword cultivator's face stiffened, and he said with a forced smile: "Originally, I wanted to return to the sect, and on the master's birthday next month, the disciple should be used as a birthday gift." ”

The old Taoist snorted and patted the young sword cultivator on the shoulder, "I have a heart." ”

After that, the young sword cultivator quietly returned to the campfire, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and always smiled.

The old Taoist sat alone on the edge of the cliff, exhaling and refining qi, silent for a long time, and suddenly whispered to himself: "The avenue is hopeless, so you can only shake these little wits." Haha, what a terrible word. ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Scholar Liu Chicheng went out of the city from the east gate, walked all the way along the official road, walked out for ten miles, and rested outside the post station. There was a tea stall outside the post station, and the scholar asked for a bowl of hot tea soup, drank it to warm his stomach, and whispered to himself, as if he was talking to himself: "Don't you always brag about how good you are, you really don't care about such a big mess?" That Miss Liu, a very good girl, gave me money to spend, and didn't blink when she paid for it, and hugged me again, which solved my great urgent need, otherwise you really want me to be a beggar, or go to sell my ass? I'm starving, and you're not much better!"

"What, with such a master as me, it was you who poured blood mold for eight lifetimes? Why don't you say that if I hadn't strayed into the barren mound and inadvertently broke the thousand-year-old formation and rescued you, the uncle, from prison, would I have a chance to see the light of day again? Do you know that because of your existence, I am now galloping through the flowers, and I don't dare to exert ten successful powers, but only dare to touch a small hand and kiss a small mouth, otherwise wouldn't it be cheaper for you bad old man?"

"Bullshit immortals! Hide your head and hide your tail, a lost dog, even if I punch someone to the ground, I don't dare to raise my head, just what kind of immortal you are above the jade pu, Lao Tzu is still that Jindan immortal! I heard that people are Jindan immortals, that is the real immortal, every day there is nothing to fly around in the sky, occasionally landing to drink a wine, the emperor will see each other, all respectful. ”

The owner of the tea stall watched from a distance, worried, that poor scholar must not be a fool, right? Nagging, talking to himself? It doesn't matter if you are a fool, but don't have no money with you!

The scholar glared and said, "What? Jin Danjing is a fart? Do you believe that Lao Tzu finished drinking the tea soup and held back a fart, so he let you go?

"Don't scold people, what's wrong with the bastard...... If you have a father and no mother, it's better than you being an old pervert, a lot of age, and you still want to bring that pink Taoist robe, tsk, it's really shameless, why don't you ask me to help you buy a few boxes of rouge gouache...... Your uncle...... Again......"

The scholar's voice was as thin as a mosquito and a fly, and in the end he was almost inaudible, his eyes gradually became cloudy, and then instantly became blazing, like a god possessed, the whole person from the inside out, the momentum is very different, and it is no longer the poor and sour cold man, but more like a micro-service private interview...... Emperor.

The scholar surnamed Liu was full of smiles, stretched out his hand, trembled and lifted the tea bowl, drank the last sip of tea soup, stood up, took out a large handful of copper coins and threw them on the table, strode away, at first the steps were a little shaky, drinking tea was like drinking fine wine, and his eyes were a little drunk, but as he walked, his steps became more and more calm, and finally the scholar entered the farmland with rape flowers blooming from the official road, and there was no one around, with a shake of his shoulder, the knot of the burden opened by itself, fell off from the body, hovered in the air, and floated out of the burden A beautiful robe with exquisite embroidery。

It's really pink!

The coat on the scholar's body also untied and faded by itself, and he happened to change positions with the pink robe, and obediently lay down in the baggage.

In addition to the gorgeous Taoist robe that did not conform to the rules of the world, there was also a golden hairpin in the baggage, which slowly floated to the top of the scholar's head, and he pinned it to the bun.

Then the burden flashed away, obviously submerging in every inch.

Of course, it may also be something close at hand, or even an abbot known as the "wonderful little cave" in legend.

The scholar spread out his hands, raised his head to look at the sky, smiled intoxicated, the pink robe actually gave people a sense of excitement of a living creature, and suddenly spread out, and came behind the scholar.

Liu Chicheng, a scholar who was already handsome, after wearing this robe, was indeed in the wind.

The graceful scholar strode forward, his steps were volleying, he was free to resist the wind, ascended to the sky step by step, went straight into the sky, and sang loudly: "A thousand years in the tomb, and a thousand years in the world." ”

The ground under his feet is full of foreign yellow flowers.
