The people from the Shenshui Palace really didn't come.

This is simply a surprise for Sanshan Daoren and others. Xiao Xia was also a little surprised, it was not the reaction of the Shenshui Palace, but the fact that the Shenji Hall did not invite at all. Chief Craftsman Wei went in a hurry, but after an hour, he turned back, and motioned to everyone to continue to study how to arrange the talismans.

The only person who can dismiss this building can only be the master of Zeng Jiuwen Hall, what Xiao Xia doesn't know is because he also understands that the people of the Shenshui Palace will never come or some other reason, in short, they have started to rack their brains every day against piles of talismans and fire secret medicine. The only thing that is a little different is that Chief Craftsman Wei urges them to be more anxious, and he wanders around behind their butts almost every day to supervise and urge. As the days passed, the development of the talisman did not make the slightest progress, and the old man became more and more irritable day by day, his eyes became more and more red, there were more and more eye feces, and his originally neatly combed head became more and more messy, and day by day he changed from a chief craftsman with a good bearing to an incoherent madman old man.

"Why are you not even able to control the power of the fire secret medicine these days? This is only the preliminary of the preliminary, and it is far from the point of being integrated with the mechanism technique. Where did you learn this technique? Isn't it because the silver taels you paid are not enough, and the people of the Tianhuo Sect use some garbage to fool you? No, what kind of Taoism of the Five Elements Sect is originally a pile of garbage, but you only know how to rest on your laurels, holding on to the pile of tattered Taoist classics, not knowing how to look at the world, not knowing how to do some practical things, but bent on turning a big living person into a fire, turning a beach of water into a pile of mud, no matter how powerful this thing is, how much it can burn. No matter how much water and fire and earth lumps come out, it is of no use to people and to the world, and it is not garbage? Only those who are self-righteous and self-righteous cultivators will spend money and effort to learn this garbage. It's not garbage? It's not garbage, how can you get mixed up like a beggar? Cultivating the Tao? What kind of road is cultivating? Is it great? What kind of avenue can you even eat? What kind of avenue is it? What kind of avenue is it? Is it great? Can you eat the white-flour steamed buns in the canteen well? That's white food! Can you still eat white food?"

"If it weren't for the unfortunate death of Xiao Ya Wei Zuo, where would I be able to use these talisman paths? The architectural drawings of a set of fire melting core machines in Wei Zuo's hand have already shown a rough scale. The design of the machine is ingenious, and the formula of the smelting parts is basically completed, who knows that it has been hijacked by some traitors who seek money and kill him, and those who are responsible for recruiting outsiders in the main hall should commit suicide and apologize! They should all be killed! They should all be beheaded! Wei Zuo is a genius who can only be encountered once in a hundred years in the world! Sooner or later, the way of our organ will be able to flourish in his hands, so that those people in the world who look down on our craftsmen and those who look down on our organs can take a good look. Look at how we use the mechanism to change the world! As a result, such an earth-shattering genius will change the general trend of the world, and the figure who is bound to go down in history will die in the hands of two stupid men who can even read a few big characters! What are the five ghosts of Tianhe, just to rob and kill such a character for a few hundred taels of silver, and to kill me for a few hundred taels of silver. Ruined the future of our Dao Dao! Ruined the future of the world! The people of the main hall actually offered 5,000 taels of silver to reward those two murderers? Are those accounts in charge of the money in charge of the money too much lard and are blinded? This kind of thief who ruined my Shenji Hall is only worth 5,000 taels? The old man gave them all his net worth and asked them to go to the Qingyu Building where the two thieves were to be rewarded! Go and board the order to eliminate demons and destroy demons! Didn't that Heavenly Master ask for money? We have so many Shenji Halls that we can afford it! These fools who have learned some fists and kicks should be killed! They are all pests like cockroaches and rats, and what can they do except to fight bravely and ruthlessly to make money and kill people! Those famous factions are also despicable and shameless people, and when they take money and benefits, they pretend to be so great, they keep saying what is chivalrous and righteous, and when they are needed to claim justice, they all run to the ground! These villains!

"Seifuki Michigo. Let's just kill this old ghost, show your identity and do it, I really can't stand it"

Even though Xiao Xia had warned him not to come to him again, Xiningzi finally couldn't help but find an opportunity to discuss with him quietly, because he really couldn't stand it.

Not only did he not stand it, but the Feilong Daoist, the Sanshan Daoist, and the two wild Daoists who came with him could hardly stand the sound of Chief Craftsman Wei's chattering and crying all day long, especially the Flying Dragon Daoist, who had already quarreled with Chief Craftsman Wei several times. There are also two times when it weren't for others who saw the opportunity to quickly pull him back, I'm afraid that it would have been a direct fire cracking charm to give this old man a result.

Only Xiao Xia and the old man can still be stable, the old man seems to be used to this kind of noise and chatter, no matter what Chief Craftsman Wei says, he is honest and honest, and buries his head in his own business as if he didn't hear it. Xiao Xia smiled wryly as she listened. It's like listening to embarrassing jokes that have nothing to do with you.

"Steady, can't you even stand this little thing? Where did He Zhangjiao let you copy the Qingjing Sutra a thousand times? You won't find someone to copy it on your behalf, right?" Xiao Xia replied in a low voice, with a wry smile on his face, as if he was also having a headache for the roar of Chief Craftsman Wei behind him. After studying the talisman spell together for some time, in the face of the angry shouts of Chief Craftsman Wei, it is normal for everyone who dares to be angry and dare not speak up to each other, and they are not afraid of falling into the eyes of others.

"How do you know? I really found someone to copy it on my behalf, He Zhangjiao is just talking, what a noble identity he is, where will he personally check if I personally copied it?"

"You have failed to live up to the good intentions of He Zhangjiao, if you really copied it a thousand times, you would not be so impetuous now. ”

"Okay. I knew that this was the case, so I really went to copy it, but what's the use of saying this now, can I break this predicament without being upset? This crazy old man and a few of his men have been staring at us all day, where is there any chance to steal any drawings and books?"

"I didn't have much chance to steal any drawings and books. Xiao Xia's face still had a faint wry smile, but her voice was completely cold. "Don't you know why this old man is like this?"

"Huh, why?"

"Someone is pushing him. In other words, someone is forcing the god machine hall. Didn't you hear from those people in the dining hall that some big people have visited the hall several times?"

"Is it so?"

"What else is there. Could there be anyone else besides that Nangong Gongzi?"

###

"Hall Master Zeng, you are a smart person, you should know what to do. ”

In the spacious living room, Nangong sat on the comfortable and luxurious Taishi chair at the same end, holding half a cup of fragrant tea in his hand. Carefully appreciate how the turquoise tea leaves in the cup rise and fall with the mist in the water, like a looming green cloud. This is also the beauty of this cloud and mist tip that only produces half a catty every year, not only the beauty of color and fragrance, but also the mystery of the metaphysics, not really will enjoy, people who know how to enjoy do not know how to appreciate.

Li Shishi, who was standing behind him, didn't pay the slightest attention to the teacup. It's just standing with his hands down, lean, and stocky as if he is a thousand-mile horse that has just run twenty miles to warm up, and he is not interested in anything that he can't step on steadily, but he just looks at Zeng Jiuwen Hall Master and the two deputy hall masters who are standing below. Three deacons.

Zeng Jiuwen stood there, his forehead was full of fine beads of sweat, and the hall master's exclusive divine armor did not show the slightest momentum when worn on his lean body like a bamboo pole, but instead pressed him down slightly, only looking embarrassed and wolf, looking like a house slave waiting to listen to his master. In the past, the Nangong family. The descendants of the Li family, but the distinguished guests who can't be invited by the Shenji Hall, occasionally pass through this Jingyang City, and the Shenji Hall will take every effort to arrange for acceptance, but now these two people take the initiative to visit, but for him, it is a demon asking for his life.

What he was afraid of was not the two young people in front of him, even if these two young people were not bad in kung fu, they were nothing in front of the organs of the Shenji Hall, as long as he gave an order, he would give a signal. Within ten breaths, more than five Heavenly Craft-level Trap Beasts would pounce in and tear the entire room to pieces along with the two of them.

But he can't do that, at least not for the time being, and if he really lets these two people die here, let alone him. The Jingzhou rudder, and even the entire Shenji Hall could only be crushed into powder in the next revenge storm. These two young people are not scary, what is scary is the force behind them. Before the Tiangong plan was completed and put into actual operation, the power of the Shenji Hall was still too weak compared to those deep-rooted famous families, and now those big families were still in a group, driving a kind of impossible general trend rolling in.

The two deputy hall masters and the three deacons standing behind Zeng Jiuwen also looked solemn and nervous, they may not have Zeng Jiuwen's eyesight, but they can also feel the huge pressure. This is not the first time that this Nangong prince has visited, and the last time he came with him, there were seven or eight young people, all of whom were disciples of famous families, which was already very clear. Now they can only stand here, listening to Nangong Tong, who is sitting there, express his advantages in a somewhat singing-like tone.

"In view of the fact that the lethality of firearms is too great, and in recent years, it has been widely spread among the people, and firearms bombardment is also common between gangs and private fights, and the casualties are ten times that of swordsmen. Master Zeng is in a high position, and his ears and eyes are clear, and this thing should also be clear. ”

Zeng Jiuwen was silent, of course he knew this. Every year, at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are scattered in the court officialdom, and these news have naturally fallen in the ears for a long time. But it is not possible to only use money in the officialdom, there is no stable network and interest binding that has been in business for decades, and when the wind and waves are calm, those who have collected money can still add icing on the cake, and those who are small and small waves can also help, but in the face of real stormy waves, no one will make a move.

"Moreover, the news from Yongzhou has also been confirmed, although there is no real evidence for the time being, but for the news related to the general, the people above have always been very sensitive, and whether there is solid evidence or not is not so important to them"

Zeng Jiuwen's brows couldn't help twitching. He had long been extremely disgusted by the behavior of the main hall betting on both sides, but some people thought that as long as they did it secretly, there would be no problems. It's like tying oneself to two big boats at the same time, and when these two boats work together, they will naturally be fine, and once they go their separate ways, they will even collide with each other head-on. The one caught in the middle is undoubtedly the first to be unlucky.

Of course, the problem that Shenjitang is facing now is not really because of this, this can only be regarded as an excuse at most.

"That's all I have to say, I know that Hall Master Zeng is a smart person, and you don't need to say much about smart people. Right?" Nangong Tong was finally willing to put down the teacup in his hand. Turning his gaze on Zeng Jiuwen, he said with a smile.

Zeng Jiuwen took a deep breath and raised his head, although the sweat on his forehead was still there, and he looked a little wolf, but there was not much fear and cowardice in his expression. Shaking his head, he said in a voice that was hoarse, but without the slightest hesitation: "What Nangong Gongzi said Zeng naturally understands is not a lie, what Nangong Gongzi's words mean, Zeng also probably understands, but Nangong Gongzi's request." Please forgive Zeng for not being able to agree. ”

"Oh?" Nangong Tong didn't seem to be surprised, but the smile on his face dispersed.

Zeng Jiuwen met Nangong Tong's cold eyes, and said in a non-arrogant and humble voice: "The Righteous Dao Alliance has cleaned up the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes and shocked the small ones, our Shenji Hall is naturally very admired, if the Righteous Dao Alliance has any needs in terms of silver coins and utensils, just let it know." Naturally, we strongly support it. But if Nangong Gongzi wants to temporarily take charge of my Jingzhou branch and ask me to hand over the account book, this is indeed impossible. Although my Shenji Hall is not a famous faction, it also has its own rules and regulations, and there is absolutely no reason for the account book to be handed over to others for inspection, and without the personal order of the head hall master of Fang, it is impossible to hand over this Jingzhou rudder to someone else. ”

Nangong Tong turned his head and sighed at Li Shishi, and said, "Didn't you say that the people in the Shenji Hall are all smart people who are sensitive and know how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages?"

Li Shishi showed a smile without the slightest smile on his face, and said: "Smart people are not smart all the time. There are always times when you are not so smart. ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity. Nangong sighed, picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, put it down, and stood up. Negative hands walked out. "Since Hall Master Zeng is unwilling, then I have nothing to say, so I will leave today. But let me say it first, the next time I visit the door, it won't be just the two of us, maybe there will be officials and soldiers of the state capital, and Hall Master Zeng should prepare early. ”

After seeing Nangong Tong and Li Shishi leave, there was still a permeable silence in the hall, and after a while, a deputy hall master surnamed Cao roared out in a miserable voice: "It is too much to deceive people! It is too much to deceive people! Then the Nangong family relies on the backing of the imperial court, so they are so unscrupulous to bully people? Is there still less worship and filial piety that we send every year? When they were founded by the righteous path alliance, didn't they rely on the silver we sent? At this time, they actually came to persecute us so unreasonably, and they knew that it would not be cheap to take those silver taels to feed the dogs! ”

"If it weren't for the money, maybe someone else wouldn't have been able to do it by then. Zeng Jiuwen shook his head slowly, his voice and eyes were full of indescribable exhaustion. "What should come will come after all, my Shenji Hall has been developing too fast over the years, and there is no foundation on the temple, no wonder someone wants to be red-eyed, but I didn't expect this Nangong Tong to be so impatient The court did not make it clear, so he first relied on the power of the rivers and lakes to suppress us. But at this time, there was not the slightest movement in other aspects, could it be that he was trying to be tempted?"

"Then what should I do now? Then Nangong Tongzhen is going to transfer the name of the government."

"Not yet. There is no complete reason, neither the imperial court nor the local government will rashly meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Although my Shenjitang is a business, and I don't fight with people, but it's not a soft persimmon that can be kneaded by others, and I really want to tear my face and start to do it, and thousands of beasts are not something that their dozen or so families can deal with. They should also have some scruples," Zeng Jiuwen thought about it, and finally sighed heavily. "But our scruples are greater than theirs. They can do it first, but we can't, and the only thing we can do now is to finish the 'heavenly work' parts in our hands and send them to the main hall. That's what we can really rely on. ”

"But now there is no progress in the research of the core talisman mechanism, and those wild Taoist priests are fiddling with everything, and they can't even pass the initial fire control test, if they are rashly installed and operated, it is likely to be the same as the previous few times."

Zeng Jiuwen said coldly with an expressionless face: "Sue Sù Lao Wei, I don't care what method he uses, no matter how high the reward is, no matter how many people die, as long as I can try to make the Melting Fire Core out within this month." As long as this installation is sent away, it doesn't matter if the Jingzhou rudder is completely smashed. ”

###

After leaving from the Shenji Hall, Nangong Tong quickly returned to the mansion on the edge of the city, Jingyang City is one of the few big cities in Jingzhou, and naturally there is also the property of the Nangong family.

And since it is the property of the Nangong family, it will naturally not be cold, there are large mansions with a radius of three or four miles, which can accommodate nearly thousands of people, and more than a dozen people from the Zhengdao Alliance live in, even if there are hundreds of more servants of all colors, cooks and the like, it will not be crowded at all. These days, Nangong Tong has arranged for the people of the Zhengdao Alliance to recuperate here to relieve the fatigue of the hard work of running all the way.

"What has Miss Mingyue done these days? Is she still doing well here?Is there any difficulty in using it?" As soon as he came back, Nangong Tong sent the steward in to ask.

The steward is a middle-aged man, capable, clean, and his gestures show the temperament of an ordinary master of the rivers and lakes, even if he is a steward of the Nangong family, he is not comparable to ordinary people. And he obviously knew very well what Nangong Tong was going to ask, and replied very simply: "That Bright Moon Fairy either plays by the fish pond or meditates in the rockery forest every day, and it still looks very comfortable. I am not picky about food and clothing. It's just that she doesn't like people to disturb her, and she only sends all kinds of melons and fruits every day, and then everyone is driven out. ”

"Drive it out?, did Miss Mingyue do it to drive people out?" Nangong was stunned.

"No, it's Miss Mingyue's long-term entourage, the one named Luo Yuanhuan who drove people, he said that Miss Yue doesn't like to be bothered by the laity. ”

"Hmph! If it weren't for Miss Mingyue's sake, how could such a ninth-rate character set foot on my Nangong family's place? After a pause, he frowned and asked, "How is Miss Mingyue to this person?

"According to the subordinate sent to monitor, this person is just guarding the gate of the courtyard of the Bright Moon Fairy, and he stays inside all day long, but he is not stupid, and he is a little clever. Miss Mingyue almost didn't talk to this person. ”

"Oh" Nangong Tong's expression softened a little on his face, and he said after thinking about it. "Later, you will personally send a message to Miss Mingyue, saying that there will be a collective action in the seven days of my Righteous Path Alliance, and I ask her to go with her when the time comes. ”

"Yes. ”

"It's only seven days later, will it be a little earlier?" Li Shishi's voice sounded outside the door. Obviously, he had just heard Nangong Tong's words.

Li Shishi didn't deliberately slow down, and Nangong Tonghe and the steward had already noticed his coming, but they didn't mind. This son-in-law of the Li family has now become Nangong Tong's well-deserved right-hand man, and it can even be said that if he did not deal with most of the 'mundane matters' and 'trivial matters' in Nangong Tong's eyes, the work of the Righteous Dao League on this road would not be able to operate at all. Like now, he only heard half of the words and understood that what Nangong Tong wanted to do was an excellent example.

"No, it won't. Well, of course, it should be sooner. Nangong Tong didn't care.

Li Shishi frowned: "If those people are pressed, I'm afraid they are."

"It's okay, I know it. Nangong Tong smiled faintly.

Although the frowning brows did not disperse, Li Shishi did not ask again. The arm just needs to do things steadily, and he seems to understand that very well.
