Chapter 293: Pulling the String
Mingyue Building;
Under the candlelight, many officials in Fuzhou Mansion toasted Chu Hao one after another.
There is no food in the world for a long time, so this wine is made from fish bones, although it has a different taste, but as long as it is cold, it will have a fishy smell.
Chu Hao only drank one cup and then stopped drinking.
He really can't get used to this kind of wine.
But the officials here are extremely enthusiastic, and all they think about is to serve the 'Qin Mission' well, so that he can say a few kind words in front of the emperor and transfer them out of this place.
Chu Hao naturally knew their thoughts, but he didn't think much about it.
Only let Cao Zhengchun go and exchange cups with those officials.
Cao Zhengchun has been to the realm of martial arts masters since he went to Tangting Mountain, and with his current realm, as long as the wine enters the stomach, it will be digested, and the alcohol in it will also be expelled from the body between breaths, and he is not afraid of drinking at all.
At this moment, Chu Hao glanced at Cao Zhengchun, who was tightly surrounded by a group of officials, and sandwiched a green vegetable with a fast son.
This green vegetable was naturally nothing in the heyday, but nowadays, it is more expensive than gold.
After all, even Jinling City has just solved the problem of food and clothing.
Although there are many fertile fields, the three major artifacts planted in the fields, such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, are not yet mature, and the same is true for vegetables and rice.
The people and soldiers of Jinling City eat the fish, shrimp and crabs that fell to the ground and died when Jun Aorui of Dongting Lake besieged the city every day.
Fortunately, because of the interception of the Great Zhou Haishi, he was able to share some rice noodles for the people in the near future.
Some people have grown some easy-to-feed vegetables in their homes, but those vegetables are not yet ripe.
In Fuzhou Mansion, which is far away from Jinling, the people rely on fish and shrimp to fill their stomachs, and even the dishes on this table are all kinds of fish and shrimp, and there is no rice and noodles and other foods.
It can be seen that this plate of green vegetables in the Mingyue Building is precious.
Qian Zhifu, who was sitting next to Chu Hao, watched Chu Hao eat a few green vegetables on the plate, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
When he became an official, he never imagined that one day he would not even be able to eat vegetables.
Fortunately, after a few greens on the plate were eaten, he was out of sight and out of mind, and he didn't continue to worry about it.
"Green vegetable ......"
As soon as Qian Zhifu spoke, his face showed a burst of embarrassment.
Fortunately, the pronunciation of green vegetables and chincha is almost the same, and if you don't pay attention, you won't notice that something is wrong.
After coughing lightly to hide his embarrassment, he continued with those two words: "Lord Qincha is really young and promising, and he can obtain the vast imperial favor at such a young age, and his future is bound to be limitless. ”
Chu Hao wiped his mouth with a silk scarf and said, "The prefect doesn't have to be like this, please say it directly." ”
Governor Qian smiled awkwardly and asked tentatively, "I don't know if Lord Qincha is on this trip, but there is a master accompanying him?" ”
As soon as his words fell, Chu Hao looked sideways at him, and asked with a smile: "What Governor Qian said, the official didn't understand it. ”
Qian Zhifu wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said cautiously: "What Xia Guan means is that Fuzhou Mansion lives along the coast, and there are savages on the sea, they don't know when they will invade the coastal shore again. ”
Chu Hao nodded lightly and said, "The official knows, thank you for your concern." ”
After Qian Zhifu laughed a few times, he suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "I don't know if adults have the habit of worshipping Buddha?" ”
Chu Hao didn't know what he was thinking, so he said quietly: "This official doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas, so naturally he doesn't have the habit of worshipping Buddhas. ”
Qian Zhifu breathed a big sigh of relief when he heard this, and then noticed that Chu Hao was squinting at him, and hurriedly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled.
"It's good not to worship the Buddha, and the lower officials never worship the Buddha."
Chu Hao asked softly, "Does the prefect know something?" ”
As soon as Qian Zhifu heard this, a dense cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
He hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a flickering eye: "The official doesn't dare to say more, but he just has a word of warning." ”
Chu Hao nodded slowly and said, "Lord Prefect, but it doesn't hurt to say it, the official listens to it." ”
After hearing this, Governor Qian leaned a little closer to Chu Hao, and said cautiously: "In the next few days in Fuzhou Mansion, no matter which official, even if the official invites Lord Qincha to worship the Buddha, the Lord must not go. ”
Chu Hao's heart moved when he heard this, and he said, "What if this official brings enough masters? ”
After hearing what he said, Qian Zhifu subconsciously asked.
"I don't know if I can become an immortal?"
After speaking, he seemed to feel that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly laughed a few times. With the big belly that is even better than Maitreya Buddha, it seems extremely good.
At the same time, he sighed secretly in his heart, if there were immortals in Daqian, how could the world fall into such a situation.
If it weren't for Qin Qiong, the former governor of the left capital of the army, who suddenly rushed here when he encountered the impact of savages in Fuzhou Mansion, he would have wondered if the dynasty had changed.
After all, there have long been rumors among the people that the current emperor was imprisoned in the palace by a monster.
While thinking about these things in his mind, Chu Hao chuckled lightly and said, "The masters around this official are even higher than Qian Zhifu imagined!" ”
Qian Zhifu was recalled by this sentence, and after blinking his eyes the size of a mung bean, he suddenly took a deep breath and stammered, "Even immortals?" ”
Chu Hao nodded lightly.
He also wondered if the Qian Governor's Mansion had been controlled by some demons and came to inquire about him.
But as long as he thought of the lineup brought by his trip, Chu Hao felt relieved in his heart.
Even if the three monsters in Jianfu Temple were really Arhat Bodhisattvas, he was not afraid.
After Qian Zhifu saw the confidence on Chu Hao's face, he felt that Qin Cha would not lie to him, so he immediately took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "Since this is the case, the lower official has the courage to say it." ”
Chu Hao nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Governor Qian, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”
Governor Qian sighed lightly and said: "This matter is a long story, and the lower officials will make a long story short, since half a year ago, some of the people in this Fuzhou Mansion have become not quite right, they are obviously still alive, but they are like ...... Puppet! ”
As soon as the word 'puppet' was spoken, Qian Zhifu seemed to sense something, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Chin Cha ......"
He only said these two words, and hundreds of translucent silk threads erupted from his throat, Chu Hao's face changed when he saw this, and he hurriedly got up from the ground, stepping on Ling Bo to dodge with slight steps.
Those silk threads were like short arrows, and after they came out of the throat of the Qian prefect, they were nailed directly to the wooden frame of the window.
The next moment the voice sounded, those who were still pushing the cups and changing the lamps turned their heads one after another.
After seeing the scene in front of them, their expressions all changed, and they stood there one by one, not daring to move.
Cao Zhengchun, who looked shocked, pushed away an official who was blocking him, and immediately hurried towards Chu Hao.
Chu Hao looked back at the Qian Governor's Mansion again, but saw that he was holding his throat with both hands, and his face was suffocated purple.
Immediately after, his eyes were pierced by dozens of silk threads. And those silk threads also shot in the direction where Chu Hao was standing again.
When Chu Hao avoided the side with a gloomy face, Cao Zhengchun finally rushed to Chu Hao's side, and kicked Qian Zhifu with a flying kick.
With such great force, he soared directly into the air and slammed into the wooden wall not far away.
And the moment it collided, Qian Zhifu's body exploded in an instant!
With a bang, flesh and blood immediately splattered, and there were many translucent silk threads, like arrows from the string, shooting towards all directions.
Cao Zhengchun's face changed slightly, and he let out a low cry of anger.
"Vajra Protector!"
At the same time as the words fell, a spherical golden shield enveloped him and Chu Hao.
At the same time, Zou Yi and the others also broke through the eaves and landed in the restaurant, and the tiles that fell down were just within the range of being attacked by the silk thread.
In the blink of an eye, the tiles were thudding through.
But those silk threads still had the strength to continue to shoot at those officials.
Without waiting for Chu Hao to give instructions, Zou Yi and the others immediately pulled out the triangular black flag behind them, waved and opened those silk threads, and protected the more than ten officials with pale faces behind them.
At this time, the silk threads that shot at Chu Hao earlier also hit Cao Zhengchun's true qi shield, making a 'bang' sound of gold and iron.
After all these silk threads fell to the ground, Cao Zhengchun dissipated the true qi shield outside his body, and turned back with a nervous face and asked, "Your Majesty...... You're not hurt, are you? ”
Chu Hao first shook his head, then looked down at the few points of blood splashed on his clothes, and then looked at the half of the mutilated eyes on the wooden table on the side, and gritted his teeth and said, "What a gut!" ”
At this time, he changed into an ordinary person, and the Dragon King of the Four Seas, who was downstairs before, also stepped on the stairs to come up.
When they saw the scene upstairs, they narrowed their eyes.
Ao Guang squatted down, picked up a translucent silk thread, and looked at it carefully.
Chu Hao took out the silk scarf from his arms, wiped the blood on his face, looked up at the officials, and said coldly, "You guys come here." ”
When the officials heard his words, they approached tremblingly.
Chu Hao had a cold face and asked, "Who knows about the puppet?" ”
When these officials heard the word 'puppet', their faces all changed drastically.
After seeing them like this, Chu Hao immediately knew that these officials must also know something.
He casually clicked on someone and said, "You say! ”
The official was a middle-aged man, and when he saw Chu Hao stretching out his hand to point at him, his face changed suddenly, and then he knelt on the ground with weak legs, and said in a trembling voice: "Please ask Lord Qincha to spare the lower officials a way to live, the lower officials really dare not say it!" ”
As he finished speaking, he glanced at the pile of minced meat in the corner.
Chu Hao took a deep breath and said coldly: "You don't need to answer, you just need to nod your head immediately!" ”
After that, he asked directly: "Let me ask you, are these things related to Jianfu Temple!" ”
The official resisted the horror in his heart and nodded.
And when he clicked his head, a head exploded in an instant.
At the same time, dozens of silk threads shot towards Chu Hao, but they were knocked away by the South China Sea Dragon King with a wave of his sleeves in the middle of the road.
Ao Guang also came to Chu Hao's vicinity with the silk thread at this time, and said in a deep voice with a frown: "These silk threads are not afraid of flames. ”
As he spoke, a wisp of samadhi fire ignited in his fingertips.
And the silk thread was burned by the true fire of samadhi, and there was no reaction at all.
After Chu Hao glanced at the silk thread, anger suddenly rose in his heart, and he said coldly: "We haven't gone to find them yet, but they did it first!" ”
"Since I can't wait, I'm going to meet them!"
After that, he looked at Ao Guang and asked, "I didn't have time to ask you before, did the Dragon King of Xiapu say anything?" ”
Ao Guang shook his head with a calm face, and said: "This king has not seen the dragon king of the Xiapu River, but whether it is the crystal palace or the snail generals on duty outside the palace, they all give this king a very uncomfortable feeling. ”
When the words fell, he glanced down at the silk thread in his hand, squinted at a pair of dragon eyes, and said softly: "I don't know if these silk threads can control the master." ”
Although he was asking, he seemed to have a certain thing in his mind.
Since these silk threads can control so many mortals without being discovered by them, the secrecy can be imagined.
At this time, Ao Jin, who was in a crooked figure, also stepped on the stairs and slowly went upstairs.
When he came upstairs, he said, "The old man went to the neighborhood to investigate, but he didn't find anything wrong. ”
Qian Zhifu said that something was wrong with the people, but Ao Jin did not notice anything nearby.
So, there are only two possibilities.
First, the other party did not control the people in the vicinity.
But Chu Hao didn't think so, even these officials were controlled, not to mention the people under their rule.
Second, the other party's silk thread can't even be detected by Ao Jin in the Da Luo Jin Immortal Realm.
This possibility is more terrifying.
Ao Jin also thought of this layer, so his face was quickly covered with a gloomy color.
There is a sense of absurdity in my heart.
Before he came out of the sea treasure of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, he was extremely confident in his strength.
But since he left Haizang, his perception of himself has been subverted almost every now and then.
Without waiting for him to continue thinking about it, Chu Hao took out the twelve golden people from the system warehouse and said coldly: "You will immediately turn into a hundred zhang tall and envelop the entire Fuzhou Mansion with a large array of twelve earthly branches!" ”
"Except for these few around me, pause the time of all creatures!"
"I don't believe it, these demons can even break free from the Twelve Earth Branch Great Array!"
As his voice ended, the twelve golden figures suddenly turned into golden light and flew out of the window, and flew in all directions at an extremely fast speed.
Chu Hao looked at Ao Jin and the Dragon King of the Four Seas, and said, "Let's go to that Jianfu Temple to have a look, I want to see what kind of Longtan Tiger's Den it is!" ”
Ao Guang and the others naturally would not refuse.
……
At the same time, in the sky above the antique Jianfu Temple, a green dragon with a length of 100 zhang was bound by white silk threads, and was glued to an incomparably huge spider web, revealing only a dragon's head.
And on the forehead of this dragon head, there is a blood hole the thickness of a finger.
Compared to his massive body, this finger-thick blood hole would not be noticed at all.
And under the dragon's head, there are statues all over the place, and the incense is flourishing in Jianfu Temple.
At this moment, the temple is brightly lit and the night is isolated.
Three statues of the gods stand in the hall of the Mahavira with an offering table in front of it.
And in front of the offering table, there was a kind old monk beating the wooden fish.
