Chapter 20: Shut Out

A middle-aged man dressed as a general was surrounded into the courtyard and shouted angrily, "What's the matter? ”

Then the crowd was quiet, and they got up from the ground, and a soldier who was nearby hurried up to the general and told him what had just happened.

This middle-aged general is the commander of the palm print of the Thousand Households of Baishi Shouyu Thousand Households, Jiang Shoujing, who is a five-grade official position, and the official position is one grade lower than that of the Mingjiang Prefect, but he holds military power and is a real power figure.

Jiang Shoujing looked at Zhao Xinyi and the others, and finally his eyes fell on Zhao Xinyi's body, and he said, "I don't know what the immortal master is called?" Where to practice? ”

"Poor Dao Dao No. 1 Heart One, studying under the famous Demon Exterminator ......"

Before the words were finished, a weak voice suddenly came from the Hanging Flower Gate: "Qianhu...... Don't, my lord...... Don't believe him......"

Everyone followed the prestige, it was the unlucky pig-headed monster, Qian Shou Cai, who escaped late before, did not escape, and had been dormant at the door of the second courtyard, pretending to be dead while waiting for the opportunity. Everything Zhao Xinyi had just done happened to fall into his eyes, and seeing that the rescuers were coming, and so many at once, he mustered up the courage to speak out and expose it.

The second dog was shocked, and his heart was over, it was self-defeating, and he was guilty of no guilt! looked at Zhao Xinyi with a sad face, but saw that the latter was not a little flustered, very indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Don't believe him, it's they who are behind the scenes, they are the real murderers behind the scenes!" Qian Shoucai said as he bypassed Zhao Xinyi and the others, and ran towards Jiang Shoujing as if he were flying away, closer than seeing his own father.

Jiang Shoujing frowned, looked at Qian Shoucai, and then looked at Zhao Xinyi, who was confused for a while, and suddenly saw Zhao Xinyi looking at himself with a frightened face, and then heard Zhao Xinyi shout: "Be careful!" ”

Jiang Shoujing was shocked in his heart, he didn't fully react for a while, Qian Shoucai immediately became the biggest hidden danger, and subconsciously flew up with a kick, hitting Qian Shoucai's lower abdomen, but the latter was defenseless and was kicked away. A crowd of soldiers swarmed up, and a dozen spears held him to the ground.

"Oops...... My lord...... It's my ......" Qian Shoucai groaned in pain, but he couldn't move.

Zhao Xin threw out a talisman with a flick of his hand, which fell on Qian Shoucai's head, and the latter cried wolf, and then the talisman "whew" spontaneously combusted, emitting a thick black smoke, which was very fishy. The soldiers were startled and retreated in panic.

"Don't be afraid, this guy was possessed by a powerful ghost, and just wanted to do something wrong, but he lost an adult's extraordinary skills, and he was subdued with one kick, so that the poor Dao had the opportunity to cast a ghost exorcism charm to drive away evil ghosts!" Zhao Xinyi praised Jiang Shoujing and praised himself, "Now he is fine, but he may be talking nonsense for a while now, don't take it seriously!" ”

Chen Yan hugged his sword in his arms, looked disdainful, and scolded in a low voice: "What a fox sycophant!" ”

"The immortal master is really clever!" Jiang Shoujing was very happy, "I don't know if the evil ghosts here can be eliminated?" ”

Zhao Xinyi was about to speak, but saw a sedan chair come to the entrance of the courtyard, and poked out a big round head, it was Qian Lingwu, who said to Jiang Shoujing from a distance: "Jiang Qianhu, has the culprit ever caught ......" Looking at Ergou in a blink of an eye, he was startled and hurriedly retracted his head.

Jiang Shoujing saw Qian Lingwu coming, hurriedly greeted him, and told Qian Lingwu the whole story of the matter, and the latter looked at Ergou again, doubting the letter, and he had already been frightened, only showing one head, and refused to get out of the sedan chair.

While the two were talking, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes came on horseback, followed by more than 20 Taoist priests, and the middle-aged man greeted him from afar: "Brother Qian, are you okay?" A look of concern.

"Brother Hong, you're here!" Qian Lingwu seemed to see a savior, and crawled out of the sedan chair. The middle-aged man known as Brother Hong urged the horse to take two steps quickly, dismounted in front of the door, looked around the house, looked around the house, and said softly: "Brother Qian, this, this is really haunted?" Early in the morning, the little guy came to report, I still didn't believe it, and I whipped him well......"

Qian Lingwu cried bitterly, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "Brother Hong, you don't know how scary it is!" ”

The middle-aged man patted Qian Lingwu's shoulder and said sympathetically: "Brother Qian, don't worry, Jiang Qianhu has already come, and I have also invited all the famous immortal masters in Sili and Eight Townships, they will definitely be able to get rid of evil ghosts for you!" Now I have to grieve Brother Qian to rest in the mansion for the time being! ”

"Thank you, Brother Hong!"

It seems that the two of them are very familiar with each other, and their relationship is also very good.

The surnamed Hong made a gesture, and all the Taoist priests poured into the courtyard gate, and Qian Lingwu also got back into the sedan chair.

This surname Hong is none other than Hong Zhiyu, the richest wealthy merchant in Mingjiang Prefecture. At the same time, he is also the nephew of Hong Jiangcheng, the first powerful minister of the Northern Yan Kingdom.

In Baishi County, Hong Zhiyu is an out-and-out emperor of the soil, although he does not have any official position, but the county and the prefect must listen to his orders. Jiang Shoujing is the only one.

This is a bitter Zhao Xinyi, just set up the stage, was put aside, there is nothing to do with himself, I can't help but be anxious, what is this called, I tried to shout for a long time, the "buyer" was going to pay for it, but suddenly someone inserted a lever and directly pulled the buyer away. Angry and annoyed, he hurriedly shouted: "Qian Jushi, the ghosts in your house are really vicious, and Poor Dao may be able to help a lot!" ”

Qian Lingwu glanced back and was about to speak, when Hong Zhiyu said: "Brother Qian, don't worry, these immortal masters I invited are all well-known figures, and they are no worse than this young man!" Qian Lingwu nodded gratefully and left with Hong Zhiyu.

Zhao Xinyi turned his head to look at Jiang Shoujing, opened his mouth, and before he could speak, a long-bearded Taoist priest who was walking in the door said coldly: "Your kid hasn't grown any hair, what kind of Taoism can you do, what can you help?" ”

Another white-eyed Taoist priest opened his mouth and spewed out a ball of fire, and an object the size of a palm in the fire ball scurried around, screaming incessantly.

A group of soldiers, even Zhao Xinyi and the three of them, were stunned.

The white-eyed Taoist priest said very proudly: "Will you be able to burn the ghost in the sky?" ”

Before Zhao Xinyi could open his mouth, a horse-faced Taoist priest shook the bell in his hand vigorously, and more than a dozen small green flags were shot out of the sleeve, painted with red runes, nailed to the ground, and surrounded the Qian Shou Consortium.

The horse-faced old man shook the bell vigorously, and said arrogantly: "Boy, will you be able to shake the ghost array?" ”

Before the words fell, the courtyard immediately became lively, waving wooden swords, chanting mantras, and spraying water......

Zhao Xin couldn't laugh or cry, Chen Yan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Little liar, they play much more exciting than you!" Zhao Xinyi sighed, but it was no choice.

It's really like a rival!

Jiang Shoujing invited Zhao Xin and a few people out, and commanded a group of soldiers and Taoist priests to get busy.

Zhao Xinyi and the three of them walked out of Fugui Street, Chen Yan's face sank, and said, "Little liar, what should I do with my gold medal?" ”

Zhao Xinyi secretly gritted his teeth, turned his face, but was full of bright smiles, and said confidently: "Girls can rest assured, ghosts are fierce, with their deceptive tricks, they will only ask for their own hardships, they will definitely come to invite us!" ”

Chen Yan looked at Zhao Xin with interest: "Little liar, you are really thick-skinned, you are not a liar yourself!" ”

"I ...... Master, my real ability is great! ”

The two of you quarreled with each other, and they didn't give in to each other.

Ergou looked at this, looked at that, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Where are we going?" ”

"To your house, of course!" Zhao Xinyi said as a matter of course, "I've been busy for a long time, and I'm so hungry that my chest is close to my back, so you can't invite us to a meal!" ”

"This ......" Ergou hesitated slightly, "Okay! ”

……

Southern Xinjiang, located in the south of the five continents, has many mountains and many rivers and few fields, it is seven mountains and two rivers and one field, fierce beasts are rampant, it is a wild land, barbarians live here, and it is also the gathering place of the Demon Sect - after the defeat of the third immortal and demon war, all the demons were driven here.

In the depths of southern Xinjiang, there are many mountains, and a river five or six zhang wide runs through it, because it is mixed with the "blood essence sand" of the source, the river water is scarlet, and it is extremely terrifying. This river is the famous "Death River" in southern Xinjiang, and its source is a famous high mountain - "Heavenly Demon Mountain". Heavenly Demon Mountain, about 1,000 feet high, most of the mountain is in the clouds and mist. On the east side is a steep cliff, and on the mountainside, there is a long, narrow deep hole from which the river flows, forming a blood-colored waterfall.

There are also three large holes above the waterfall, which are inverted triangles and convex and concave. Looking at it from a distance, it looks like a skeleton spitting blood, very hideous and terrifying, this mountain cliff is the famous "Heavenly Demon Cliff", and it is also the place where the Demon Sect Heavenly Demon Cliff was established.

The skeleton's "left eye hole" is shining with a strange red glow at this time, like a huge skeleton opening a magic eye, this is one of the forbidden places of the Heavenly Demon Cliff - "Heavenly Demon Altar" - the place of sacrifice and asking demons of the Heavenly Demon Cliff.

The Heavenly Demon Altar is in the depths of the eye hole, is a huge stone palace, in the center is a three-zhang circle of blood pool, in the middle stands a huge skull, more than a zhang high, I don't know where it came from, what kind of skeleton is it, is it possible that an adult skeleton can be so big?

At this moment, there is an old man with frost and snow on his head standing on top of the skeleton, his eyes closed and his head raised, his arms half open, palms facing the sky, and silently reciting incantations. Around the blood pool, there were seventy-two men in three circles, just the number of earth evils, all of them with animal skins around their waists, naked upper bodies, facing skeletons, with their hair scattered, dancing with their heads buried, rattling bells in their left hands, waving their sticks in their right hands, and chanting words in their mouths, all of which were wild words, not knowing their meanings, slowly turning around the pool of blood.

The blood in the blood pool gradually rolled up, intensifying, the blood vapor steamed, and condensed into a group of blood bats in mid-air, circling around on the top of the stone palace, gushing out, heading north.

The old man on the skeleton suddenly opened his eyes, put his palms together, spread out in front of his eyes, a blood mark rose in the left palm, stretched to the right palm, turned a few times and then to the left palm, zigzag and spread between the two palms, like a painting that could not see anything, more like a clueless mess.

The old man's eyes were shining, and an ugly smile appeared on his bark-like face, and he turned his head to look into the depths of the stone palace, and said to the darkness: "Quick, please Cliff Master!" As he spoke, the old man slowly floated down from the skull.

In the darkness, the stone wall slowly rose, revealing a tunnel, and a middle-aged man dressed in black walked in, saluted the old man, and said, "Meet the High Priest!" ”

"Cliff Lord, we have finally waited for this day!" The old man did not hide the excitement in his heart at all, "The Heavenly Demon has already made it clear that the eight God King Talismans have really all appeared!" As he spoke, he revealed his palms to the middle-aged man, who showed surprise on his face and said happily: "Great, my Heavenly Demon Cliff's lost 'Heavenly Demon Sutra' is finally expected to return, I will send the three elders to find the God King Fu in person, maybe I can also get the 'Immortal Fu Sutra' of the Immortal Fu Sect!" ”

The high priest waved his hand and said, "No! If you act like this, if you do this, the movement will be too big, and it will inevitably not attract the attention of those people, and it will not be good to act. Second, the Heavenly Demon made it clear that I taught the Holy Maiden to have a relationship with the God King Fu. It's better to invite the holy woman to go and only send an elder with advanced cultivation to assist in protection! ”

"What the High Priest said is very true!" The cliff lord nodded, "I'll arrange it!" ”
