Chapter 137: Alone Against the Evils
As soon as Jiang Ru's provocative words came out, they immediately caused a group of evil people in the cave to clamore:
"That's right! Cut that Zhao Huang with a thousand knives! I heard that the internal organs of these immortal cultivators are the most nourishing for longevity, so everyone divided him together! ”
"I want his heart!"
"I'm going to make a drum noodle from Zhao Xiao's scalp!"
"Don't waste his teeth!"
"Hey, hey! I don't know if this Zhao Huang retains the virgin Yuanyang, if there is, I will not be polite to his descendants! ”
Jiang Ru was annoyed when she heard this, but she still had to pretend to be watching a good show, shaking the fan lightly, laughing and not saying a word.
Ren Wangchao on the stage couldn't cry or laugh, these guys didn't even touch Zhao Xiao's shadow, after receiving the warning message, they ran faster than a mouse one by one, but now they are bluffing in front of themselves.
"Ladies and gentlemen, after all, Zhao Huang is an official of the imperial court and a monk of the pavilion, and if you want to kill this kind of person, the consequences are unpredictable!" Seeing that the waves were higher and higher, Ren Wangchao hurriedly suppressed and said: "Even if you want to kill, you should think about it in the long run, and you can't rush forward." ”
"Jiyin Mansion Lord, your foundation is not in Qingyan County, of course you can stand and talk without backache!" There is a demon below who raises his finger and drinks.
"That's it! Our altar throne has been destroyed, even if we return to our hometown in the future, don't expect to be cleaned up again in ten or eight years! ”
"Not only the altar throne, but also the contacts and generations of temples that we have cultivated in the local area for many years, have also lost a seven, seven, eighty, eight,
Ren Wangchao's broad blue face darkened, he wanted to attack, relying on his ghost magic to kill a few offended people on the spot, so as to deter the evil.
But considering that these ghosts, gods, demons and demons of Qingyan County have more dealings with the White Cane Gong, and he has to rely on this old-timer to support the scene, he had to turn his head and ask, "White Cane Gong, what do you think?" ”
"The old man is just thinking, now that Zhao Huang is in Quartz City, there are monks and strong soldiers on the left and right, if you want to kill him, you are openly an enemy of the imperial court." The white cane stroked his long beard, he glanced at the group of evils present, and glanced at Ren Wangchao again:
"But if we really do this, not to mention whether it can be successful, Liang Guoshi's side is not good-looking. Ghosts and gods from all walks of life invaded the people's city on a large scale, but they fell into the truth, so that the government and the opposition of Huaxu Kingdom were united, and Liang Guoshi was not easy to protect us. ”
How could Ren Wangchao not understand? At that time, he fought far away outside the Black Mountain, on one side was the Yin Wind and the Black Mountains, the ghost army Yin soldiers were hundreds of thousands, and on the other side was the purple gas canopy, and the immortal generals were in an orderly manner, and the two sides clashed with the sun and the moon, and the mountains shook the ground.
Ever since he witnessed Liang Tao defeat the ghost handsome of the Black Mountain to the top of the clouds, Ren Wangchao knew that he would never be the opponent of this national teacher. No matter how perfect and exquisite those ghost dao techniques are, he must not be an enemy of Liang Tao!
It's just that unlike Bai Zhu Gong, a city god who has close contacts with the children of Chongxuan Pavilion, Ren Wangchao is hindered by the origin of ghosts, and he can't be on the stage after all, and those Chongxuan Pavilion disciples have little courtesy to him. Ren Wangchao could not guarantee that after he killed Zhao Huang, he would still be able to get the protection of Chongxuanguan and Liang Tao.
"It's weird, isn't it just to kill a Zhao Huang, who wants you to attack the city?" At this time, Jiang Ru shook the fan gently, and the sound was not loud, and the evil spirits present could hear it: "I came to Yanglanze by boat along the cangshui before, and I could detect that Zhao Huang opened the altar and stirred up the clouds, and he didn't keep shrinking in Quartz City and didn't go out. ”
"Zhao Xiao is not in Quartz City?" There is a demon who asks.
"Who else is there at the moment who opens the altar all day long and hunts down ghosts and gods?" Jiang Ru asked rhetorically, and then looked at the stage: "The master of Jiyin Mansion is well-informed, so he won't be ignorant, right?" ”
The eyes of the evil people in the audience turned to Ren Wangchao, he was speechless for a while, he had recently had a good relationship with them in order to entertain all kinds of ghosts, gods and demons, and he really neglected to pay attention to Zhao Xiao's movements, and most of his men were also recalled to the underworld.
"I'll send someone to investigate immediately, and there will be news soon!" Ren Wangchao had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "But no matter what, we should be cautious when killing Zhao Huang." ”
Ren Wangchao waved his hand to summon the soul official, and whispered a few words, Jiang Ru sneered twice and said: "Jiyin Mansion Lord, you are so jealous of Zhao Huang, don't you see that the Chongxuan Pavilion has suffered a lot of damage in the past two years, and you plan to change the court, right?" ”
Even if the group of evils present were not loyal to the Chongxuan Pavilion, and were more willing to stoop to serve in order to seek shelter, they had long been accustomed to colluding with the Chongxuan Pavilion in private.
The White Cane Gong immediately said: "The Lord of the Yin Mansion, even if the imperial court is now rectifying the shrines and sacrifices of various places in the name of investigating illegal and greedy ink, it will definitely not allow us to return to the altar and throne afterwards. I hope you don't be negligent! ”
"Of course I know!" Ren Wangchao felt that it was difficult to speak, he definitely didn't dare to rebel against Chongxuan Pavilion, but he didn't want to openly oppose the Huaxu Imperial Court at this juncture.
"Whether it is the lord of a country or the national teacher, I am afraid that the most hated person is the person at both ends of the first rat." Jiang Ru showed no mercy: "If the master of Jiyin Mansion can kill Zhao Huang in front of all his colleagues, it is enough to prove himself!" According to the saying of the green forest of the human world, the lord of the Jiyin Mansion can be regarded as accepting the name of the vote. ”
"Not bad! The main purpose of Jiyin Mansion is to kill Zhao Huang with his own hands, so we all have a reason to follow you. "The audience is in a commotion.
"Not only that, killing Zhao Xiao is equivalent to removing a major enemy from their Chongxuan Pavilion, and they can also show their hearts to Liang Guoshi!"
Listening to the evil words of the group below, Ren Wangchao was silent, he glanced at Jiang Ru, this "Qin Fairy" provoked everyone three times and twice, so that he had to respond.
"Lord of the Yin Mansion, this matter is indeed possible." Bai Zhu Gong also persuaded on the side: "If you only kill Zhao Huang alone, and it doesn't affect too much, Liang Guoshi's side will also be able to explain." And the old man still has some people in Qingyan County, and after Zhao Xiao's death, he will encourage the people from all over the country to ask for the rebuilding of the shrine, welcome back all the fellow Taoists, and cooperate with the Chongxuan Pavilion in the court, so that the joint efforts of the upper and lower levels can force the lord of the country to make concessions. ”
"Is this really possible?" Ren Wangchao still has no suspicions: "I heard that even the Chu County Guard was locked up and taken into prison, and the situation in Chongxuan Pavilion is not good." ”
The White Cane Gong shook his head and stroked his beard: "The Lord of the Jiyin Mansion doesn't know, this is nothing more than Wu Kuijun forcibly arresting people and putting them in prison at the behest of the Lord of the Country. This move was illegal, and after a long delay, Chongxuanguan was investigated, and Wu Kuijun had to release him. ”
Ren Wangchao was silent for a long time, facing the persecution of the demons, and then thought that he could take this opportunity to invite fame in one fell swoop, and it could be regarded as a great contribution to the Chongxuan Pavilion, maybe he could really become the master of a ghost and god!
"In that case, then I can't excuse myself." Ren Wangchao made up his mind: "I'm going to kill Zhao Xiao, and I ask all my colleagues to witness for me!" ”
……
A map was laid on the ground, Zhao Xiao picked up the pen and tapped it, and then raised his eyes to look at the river on the side.
"This river is Cangshui, right?" Zhao Xiao asked.
"That's right!" He Dangguan raised his hand to the south: "Downstream is Yanglanze, on the other side of the river is Lizhen County, and Cangshui is the boundary between the two counties." ”
"I remember you're from Lizhen County?" Zhao Xiao said.
He Dangguan nodded and replied: "At that time, Huaxu State set up overseas Chinese counties to settle the Middle Earth displaced people, and I followed my elders to Lizhen County to settle down. ”
"How is the ghost god and witch wind of Lizhen County compared to Qingyan County?" Zhao Xiao asked.
He Dangguan thought for a while: "Just on the way, I saw the destroyed shrine shrine, and it is estimated that Qingyan County is more powerful. When I was a child, I heard some legends that if there was a deceased in a house, there would be a soul-keeper carrying a white lantern to fetch the soul of the deceased at night. ”
"Soul Keeper?" Zhao Xiao muttered a few words, he had never heard of this name, and he felt like those Jianghu warlocks and the like.
However, since someone is willing to take the initiative to do the hard work of luring the souls of the dead, the ghost and god atmosphere in Lizhen County will naturally be lighter, and I don't know which kind of well-wisher it is, Zhao Xiao also plans to ask for advice, even if it is a good fate.
"Marquis Zhenming, the mandala has been arranged." A few monks from the Surrender Hall approached.
Zhao Xiao turned his head to look at a mound on the bank of the river, where four flags were fluttering in the wind, he rolled up the map and put it away, and said to everyone: "Okay, you should retreat to a hundred zhang away." ”
He Dangguan took Zhao Xiao's bamboo basket and asked, "Deacon Zhao, these days you always want us to retreat when you open the altar and practice the Fa, are you worried about provoking something dirty?" ”
After Zhao Huang left Quartz City, he passed through various market towns and villages along the way, in addition to convening his father and fellow villagers to announce the decree of the imperial court to rectify obscenity and cut off ghosts, gods and witches, it was to open the altar and hunt down demons and spirits.
This move was to act as a bait and put himself in a no-man's country, so that the demons of Qingyan County could come to the door.
When Zhao Huang opened the altar to practice the law, he instigated the change of qi, which was the easiest to provoke the demons and spirits, so that the other party could look at his position.
In this way, of course, He Dangguan and the others can't get too close, even if Zhao Xiao knows that Liang Tao will make a move, but when the two sides fight, no one can guarantee that there will be any accidents.
"Whatever comes to mind, don't say it." Zhao Xiao tidied up his clothes: "If something really disturbs the mandala, don't come over." ”
He Dangguan was worried, he vaguely guessed something, but he could only nod his head and lead the other monks and soldiers away.
Zhao Xiao looked at He Dangguan and the others going away, he sighed softly, but his heart couldn't stop pounding.
"You're on a whim." Lingxiao said.
"Maybe I'm scared." Zhao Xiao said: "With my current cultivation, it is enough to adjust the qi in my body. Inexplicably, I guess I sensed that a crisis was approaching, but I couldn't grasp it clearly. ”
"It may also be that Xuanzhu is ascending and is about to go to the Jiang Palace." Ling Xiao said: "Although your practice of opening the altar consumes a lot of energy, every time you are polishing your soul and bathing in snow, like building a platform with soil, layer by layer. ”
"Like Heron?" Zhao Xiao suddenly laughed: "Maybe I should retreat and cultivate and ignore mundane foreign affairs." ”
"Can you put it down?" Lingxiao asked rhetorically.
Zhao Xiao slowly walked up to the mound, shook his head and said, "After all, I am not an immortal cultivator who is far away from the world. ”
Before coming to the mandala, Zhao Xiao put away his smile, his mood was naturally solemn and upright, holding a token in his hand, and he hit the Dharma table, and hundreds of soldiers and horses appeared around him.
These days, Zhao Xiao has also recruited a lot of wandering souls, turning them into soldiers, chanting and chanting mantras every day and night, saving gods and sacrificing and refining, and doing his homework in the morning and evening, both refining himself and refining soldiers.
Bugang circled the altar three times, some of the soldiers stood up and down in all directions of the mandala with the sound of the rhyme spell, and the enchantment was suddenly formed, and then Zhao Xiao picked up a pile of charms, raised his hand and threw it out, and the rest of the soldiers went away with their own talismans, searching the mountains and checking the river.
Suddenly, the river breeze was blowing, it seemed to be gentle, but it contained a trace of turbid smell, and the candle flame on the Dharma table burst slightly, and Zhao Xiao immediately understood.
"Here we are."
When a sound came, dark clouds surged in the southern sky, like a landslide and mudflow, comparable to the turbidity of the sea, and in a moment it had covered half of the sky.
With the dark clouds came, there was also a biting yin wind blowing, and the whistling wind was mixed with a trace of mournful ghost howls, blowing the flags in the mandala flying.
Zhao Huang used his full eyesight, and vaguely saw dozens of figures standing on a dark cloud. The first person in a brocade robe and a green face, looking down, his eyes came with a compelling divine power.
His gaze was like a sword, and Zhao Xiao only felt that his eyes were slightly tingling. Even if they are far away, they can have such a compelling power, which shows that the cultivator is far above himself.
"I am the lord of the Yin Underworld, Ren Wangchao, the person in the altar below, but Zhao Huang of the Huaiying Pavilion?" The blue-faced man asked in a loud voice.
"It's me, yes!" Zhao Xiao raised his hand and pressed the Lingwen Shen Iron Order, trying to instigate the qi of yin and yang, and launched a thunder arrow to test it for a while, but at this moment, the yin and evil qi filled the heaven and earth, and there was almost no room for the evil thunder.
"It's that you don't ask the reason, don't judge right and wrong, don't argue right and wrong, and insist on murdering the daughter of the immortal?" Ren Wangchao asked again, his tone was already angry, and his figure suddenly rose, projecting a majestic silhouette among the dark clouds, as if the gods had descended from heaven.
"Lao Sanqian is just a rat, vainly claiming to be respectful and blackmailing the people, and he deserves to be ambushed and killed." Zhao Xiao looked around and found that the waves on the river were unnaturally churning against the current, and there were obviously demons lurking underwater, and the grass and trees on the shore in the distance were swaying, and the earth and rocks were moving, which must be caused by spirits, and the number of demons and evils was so large that it was likely to take hundreds of thousands.
"I look at you and other qi organs are yin and evil, and you must be full of blood food, and I think it is a group of obscene ghosts and gods in Qingyan County." Zhao Huang said: "You are waiting for the crowd to come and commit the mandala, do you want to come and be killed together?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the shore in the water was restless, the demonic atmosphere was raised, the evil spirit was rampant, the light and shadow were faintly flashing, and the evil spirits were already ready to go.
"Presumptuous!" Ren Wangchao shouted angrily, and many ghosts appeared in the dark clouds in the sky, like a wall carved with the deaths of countless dead in the world, which was shocking.
"Ignorant junior, if you learn a few crude techniques, you have to be self-righteous, like you, it is the cause of the world!" Ren Wangchao's tone was high-spirited, with the momentum of Tianxingdao: "Today, I am invited by colleagues from all walks of life in Qingyan County to come to take your life!" But I'm not going to make the world laugh at me. ”
Zhao Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "If you want to go together, I am not afraid." ”
"Three styles!" Ren Wangchao raised his hand slightly, heroic and calm: "After the three styles, if you can save your life, Ren Wangchao will lead the crowd away on the spot!" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Xiao's heart was beating rapidly, and his blood spread like a tidal wave, and the true qi of Wuzang came out vigorously from all over his body, and he was angry for a while, holding a token in his hand and shouting:
"Ghosts! Today is the time when you will be destroyed! ”
