Chapter 104: Offering Treasure to Heaven
It's still the daring lone path of the artist, but this time he will be followed by a large number of Xuanyi guards, who will pretend to be the guards and fellow travelers of a caravan traveling from afar.
Yao Ping and Yao An selected a total of more than 200 orphaned beggars who could work their lives and be loyal, and then received relevant training, and after preliminary screening, nearly 100 people were selected as Xuanyiwei.
These people have been trained for less than half a year, and they may be far inferior to the spy capabilities of "Jinyi Guard" and "Factory Guard", but it is enough to build an intelligence network.
This time, Zhou Bai went all the way north from Pingcang, passing by I don't know how many counties, and the key positions need to be left behind, and the layout should be as soon as possible.
Xuanyiwei's initial identities were different, traveling merchants, porters, dart masters, and beggars......
But the first thing they have to do is to take root, or get a local household registration, or make strong connections, and successfully integrate into it.
Fortunately, now that the world has just undergone a natural change, and under the panic of the people, the population will inevitably move around, which will give Xuanyiwei the soil for development.
All the way north, Zhou Bai was about to arrive at Pingcang County, but he didn't even see Yu Yueyun's shadow except for the Zhou family caravan behind him.
"This Nizi, after knowing my methods, you are so relieved? I can't send it, if I don't have anyone available, I have to call her to accompany me to Shenjing. Zhou Bai looked back and couldn't help but complain.
The shadow did not appear in the field of vision, and even the divine sense could not search for his existence.
As everyone knows, at this time, Yu Yueyun was in retreat and penance, and after experiencing the night of the red moon, he knew how much pressure Zhou Bai was carrying.
One of the weakest first-order Heavenly Demons almost escaped from her hands, what if the second and third sequences descended in the future.
The help that a first-realm Taoist can help is too small, Yu Yueyun doesn't want to see Zhou Bai fighting alone, and she doesn't want to feel the powerlessness of not being able to protect the family.
At this time, the atmosphere in Pingcang County was still tense, and although the city gate was no longer closed, ordinary residents had to go through strict interrogation if they wanted to enter and exit.
The county government officials are not vegetarians, and they have also found out a heavenly demon with the help of the provincial officials.
Moreover, this Heavenly Demon is still a small leader, and his strength has reached the peak of the Dao Realm, and he is one step away from stepping into the second sequence.
He fought back on the verge of death, and actually injured the county magistrate, which made the entire Pingcang nervous.
It was this battle that allowed the Dao Officer to personally experience the characteristics of the Heavenly Demon Sequence, and at the beginning of the advent, these Otherworldly invaders were very weak.
It must be strictly screened, and if the geist is completely adapted to the host's body, then it will be able to exert the full strength of the first sequence, and it will be difficult for the Dao official to suppress it easily.
Under the strict inspection, there was even a Taoist official of the imperial court sitting at the city gate, and even Zhou Bai, Xie Yuan, was interrogated.
It's all a very simple question, it depends on whether there is something wrong with you, the possession time of the heavenly demon is short, and there will always be loopholes that words and memories do not match.
The city guard apologized very embarrassedly: "Duke Xie Yuan, it's rude, it's really the recent changes in the sky that have made people panic, and the court has not issued an official document to tell us how to deal with it." ”
"It's okay, the order of the county government is also for everyone's safety." Zhou Bai waved his hand.
Then he wanted to enter through the city gate, but the Taoist official on the side suddenly stopped him.
"Xie Yuangong is not harmed, you were just a Mengtong who had not yet entered school, but now you are a state Xie Yuan." The Taoist seemed to have known Zhou Bai for a long time, which made him quite puzzled.
I don't remember that I had an intersection with the Taoist officials of the imperial court, and I haven't entered school yet?
When Zhou Bai looked at it, the face of this Taoist official was indeed familiar, and it was the young Taoist official who had inspected the county test registration documents for him.
As if seeing that Zhou Bai remembered him, the young Taoist said loudly: "How do you know that the first way and then the law and the first law and then the way are both the righteous way in the world!" ”
Zhou Bai knew that this was his own original words, so he said with a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that there would be a day to see the Taoist Chief, but I didn't recognize it at the beginning, I was ashamed and ashamed, and I didn't know the name of Changzun?" ”
"Xiaodao Xianyun, I have seen Xie Yuangong, I remember your high argument a year ago." Xianyun said with a look of reminiscence.
Zhou Bai didn't expect that the few words that he casually solved the siege at the beginning could actually make this Xianyun remember, and said: "The way of the world is like a carp crossing the river, and no matter where you start, the final destination is the avenue." If I have time, I will talk to the Taoist chief all night. ”
"Hey, Xiao Dao is actually only playing some precautionary role here, and it can't rely on subtle divine sense inspection like the real Yin God Real Man." Xianyun thought that Zhou Bai was worried about delaying his official business, so he shook his head with a sigh.
"This is a meditation array plate refined by my clan, which has a miraculous effect on checking the possession of heavenly demons and treating madness, why don't you take it and try it?" Zhou Bai took out a small array disk from his arms and handed it to Xianyun, explaining.
"Oh? No wonder few people in the north of the county come to ask for help, it is not the work of Xie Yuangong, if it is really effective, it can be reported to the county to know. Xianyun was surprised and delighted.
He was from an orthodox sect, so he naturally knew how to use this kind of simple array disk, but I saw that he put a spirit stone embedded in the center, and the array disk buzzed, as if some kind of fluctuation spread out to cover an area.
Seeing that Xianyun was curiously playing with it, Zhou Bai smiled and said, "Xianyun Dao Chief will use it first, I'll go to see the county honor, and then verify the effect." ”
Then Zhou Bai went directly into the city and asked to see Ji Hongzhe, of course, in the process, there was a greeting to understand the disaster situation in the county.
At present, except for a small number of Taoist priests, the medical halls and even prisons in the county are now full of crazy people, so the effect of the meditation array is easy to identify, and it has really allowed several officials of the county government to see Zhou Bai's methods.
There are so many people with extraordinary wisdom in the imperial court, and there are a large number of high-grade Taoist officials in the register, they don't have a solution yet, but you come up with such a low-cost treatment array, what a demon this is.
At this time, even if the screening of the Heavenly Demon could not be proved immediately, Ji Hongzhe had already witnessed the effect of treating the Red Moon Madness, so he did not doubt the restraint of the "Heavenly Demon" that Zhou Bai said.
The name of the Heavenly Demon is not the words of Zhou Bai's family, the world is so big, there are always capable people in some places who can pry out some unconfidential information from the mouth of the Heavenly Demon.
Information such as sequences, heavenly demons, and Qingxu realms has actually been circulated in a certain class.
"Does Zijian have any other thoughts about this meditation array? It's better to dedicate it to the imperial court, at least you can raise your title to the third class. Ji Hongzhe was indeed close to Zhou Bai in private, and he didn't shout anything about Xie Yuan.
The third rank, that is, the baron within the fifth rank, is the official nobleman of the Daxu court, and after death, he enjoys the official incense sacrifice, and it is even possible to be recruited into the Dragon Court.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Bai understood the benefits, and Ji Hongzhe's suggestion was not impossible.
But there is also a heavenly court above the imperial court, and this meditation array is something that can obtain heavenly merit, so why bother to hand it over to the imperial court.
"County Venerable, my ambition is not to be a fellow jinshi but a jinshi, so I want to dedicate it to Heaven." Zhou Bai pondered for a moment, looked at Ji Hongzhe's eyes and said sincerely.
Ji Hongzhe was a little surprised, and couldn't help but continue to persuade: "Immortality, the road to immortality is not so easy to walk, why not make meritorious contributions to the imperial court, and hope to be canonized by the Dragon Court after death." ”
"Although Bai is not talented, he also has the ambition to go east into the sea."
"If the county lord is interested, he can promote the meditation plate to the imperial court, so that he can also leave an impression on the heavenly court immortals."
"Heaven and earth have changed, the god of the Dragon Court is still not stable, and seeking the seal of the Heavenly Court is the right way."
