Verse 149

The Jianghu people suddenly said, "Oh, I was mistaken." ”

Then he took out a few pieces of broken silver from his sleeve pocket, although it was not large, but it fulfilled what he had said before he wrote the letter.

Jianghu people waved the envelope excitedly, said "Thank you, boss", and got up to leave.

Zhao Ning suddenly stopped him, "This chivalrous man, has he recently gone to Pingyi Village in the southern suburbs?" ”

The Jianghu people were shocked, and they didn't know what to think, so they turned around and propped up to the front of the case, nodded several times, and said, "Yes, yes, how did the boss lady see it." ”

Zhao Ning hadn't answered yet, but the Jianghu man asked himself, "Could it be that I am really contaminated with some ghostly energy?" Did I really hit a ghost? ”

Jianghuren's face changed immediately, he straddled the stool, and talked a lot, "Boss, don't you know that I have been wandering around the suburbs last night in order to find the best position to watch the decisive battle on the top of the Yellow City, and I almost entered that Pingyi Village." ”

"This Zhuangzi is so ghostly, sometimes there is the laughter of children playing, sometimes there is the sobbing of women, I thought it was the original occupants of Zhuangzi. As a result, when I looked inside, it looked like it hadn't been lived in for three or four years, and there was dust and cobwebs everywhere, how could anyone still make such a noise inside, and the wind outside made me feel only a gusty wind. ”

There is indeed a ghost in that Zhuangzi, when Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan first came to Jiangyi City, they noticed the abnormality of Zhuangzi, but after a slight probe, they knew that this ghost had not killed anyone, and I heard from the nearby villagers that there would be some strange noises in this Zhuangzi in the middle of the night, and it did not cause any harm to the neighborhood.

Therefore, they did not meddle in the affairs of Zhuangzi.

It's just that as soon as this Jianghu person came in today, he was stained with ghost energy, looking at this Jianghu person's honesty, Zhao Ning mentioned it in passing, but he didn't expect that this Jianghu person seemed to know the situation of Zhuangzi, and he also knew the ghost.

"Who told you the 'ghost'?"

The people in the rivers and lakes blinked, "A Taoist priest, it seems to be a Zhengyang view." ”

"I'll have to go to that Taoist priest later, but I can't hurt myself."

He stood up to himself, "It's good that the people from Zhengyang Guan are here, so I'm not afraid that there will be any accidents in watching the battle in three days." ”

He suddenly thought of something, and rushed to the case, "The boss lady also knows this, isn't it the legendary immortal master?" ”

Zhao Ning's expression did not change in the slightest, "The chivalrous man laughed, I am just a believer in Zhengyang Temple." ”

Chapter 153

After the Jianghu people left, Zhao Ning sat behind the counter and thought for a while.

Zhengyang view?

Jiang Yicheng does not have the Zhengyang Temple, and although the Zhengyang Concept is subjective in Nanjing, it does not have the ability and people to establish Taoist temples in every city of Nanjing.

Coupled with the things that Zhengyangguan did in Dayueguo, for nearly a year, the matter was also transmitted to Nanjing, and the enthusiasm of the people in Nanjing for Zhengyangguan plummeted, and even with a trace of suspicion, wondering if Zhengyangguan had other plans for Nanjing, which made Zhengyangguan stop in Nanjingguo for a long time.

The appearance of Zhengyang Guan seems to mean that Jiang Yicheng's twenty days of calm are coming to an end.

stole the fun of floating life, Zhao Ning had a slight perception, but he really didn't go directly to Pingyi.

Stroke by stroke, depicting the ancient moire, serious and focused, I don't know how long it took, I felt a hint of familiarity.

Acquaintances are nearby.

Looking at the street from the counter window, I happened to bump into a figure, who was wearing a Zhengyang Guan Taoist robe, and his hands were full of all kinds of things that should be used to subdue demons and eliminate demons in folk books, including some glutinous rice, black dog blood, peach wood swords, and the like.

He walked hurriedly, frowning, and from time to time he wandered about, apparently looking for companions.

Soon, the source of the familiarity in Zhao Ning's perception appeared.

Ho Qiu.

The preacher of Yongfeng City in Dayue Kingdom, who originally said that he entered the Zhengyang Temple for the sake of resources, was in pain after learning the truth, and now appears in Nanjing, and is still dressed as a preacher of the Zhengyang Temple.

He Qiu hurriedly walked to the disciple's side, reprimanded a few times, and suddenly got a hint of sense, turned his head, and happened to meet Shang Zhaoning's gaze.

He was so shocked on the spot that he almost knelt down on the street.

But as soon as Zhao Ning's fingers moved, he could only stand stiffly on the street, and he regained his reason from the horror for a long time, Zhao Ning let go of him, he knocked the disciples around him a few times, let the disciples wait outside, and hurried to Zhao Ning's bookstore.

He Qiu entered the bookstore, a little cramped, his eyes carefully swept inside, and he always felt that the place where the immortals stayed must be extraordinary.

However, this bookstore is usually a little deserted.

He walked to the counter in small steps and knelt directly on the ground, "Senior He Qiu, I have seen seniors." ”

Zhao Ning said lightly, "Daoist He doesn't need to bow, I can't even see you." ”

He Qiu smiled awkwardly, stood up straight, and saw that Zhao Ning was still looking down and drawing something.

He subconsciously glanced at the paper, the ancient moire is just a picture for ordinary people, but it is extremely mysterious for the monk who has cultivated the Great Dao, if he doesn't understand the ancient moire, this moment will only make them dizzy.

He Qiu suffered this hardship and held his head backwards.

Zhao Ning raised his pen a little, and the pain disappeared instantly, but he didn't dare to look at the things on Zhao Ning's paper anymore.

He Qiu said respectfully, "It's a blessing for the juniors to be able to meet the seniors here, I don't know what the seniors commanded." ”

Zhao Ning slowly drew the ancient cloud pattern, "I thought that Dao Chang would not stay in Zhengyang Temple anymore." ”

He Qiu almost knelt on the ground on the spot when he heard this, but he remembered Zhao Ning's ridicule when he entered the workshop, and he didn't dare to kneel down on this leg, so he said stiffly, "I originally wanted to break away from Zhengyang Guan, but Yu Ze said that this matter of Zhengyang Guan causing trouble in Dayue Country must be investigated." To know what attention this Zhengyang Guan has, you can only go deep into the hinterland. So I volunteered, pretended to be seriously injured, and then followed the others back to Nanjing. ”

Zhao Ning agreed with this statement, "Then what have you found?" ”

"I just felt a little strange when I arrived in the capital of Nanjing, but I can't say it." He Qiu paused, "Before I could grasp the source of this feeling, I was sent here. said that he was going to squat for a decisive battle and catch the ruthless sword Li Wei. ”

Zhao Ning was stunned, what did Zhengyangguan want to arrest Li Wei? How did the affairs of the Jianghu people get involved with the Taoist temple.

"It's a strange order." He Qiu himself was also confused, "There are many people in the Zhengyang Guan Sect, in addition to me, there is also a Ren Daoist from Wuming, plus a few disciples who can be called first-class and second-rate masters in the rivers and lakes. And all this is just to catch a charlatan. ”

Zhao Ning put down his pen and looked at He Qiu, "Is it Zhengyangguan's order, or is it the Nanjing Imperial Court?" ”

He Qiu said, "It was the third prince who gave the order. After the lord of Nanjing fell seriously ill a year ago, he was supervised by the three princes, and Zhengyangguan also served the three princes. ”

The Three Princes? Is it the one Meng Ruyi called "Brother of the Three Princes"?

"The juniors feel that this is an opportunity, if this matter is handled well, I may be able to gain the trust of the three princes, and I will be able to investigate the matter of Zhengyang Temple more deeply."

Zhao Ning praised, "He Daochang is brave and strategic. ”

"The predecessors have a good reputation, and there are no eyebrows in this matter until now, and I haven't seen the shadow of the demon girl or Li Wei so far." He Qiu had a bitter face, "Moreover, we also encountered a disaster, in the southern suburbs, we were inexplicably attacked by ghosts and trapped in the ghost house, and now only me and the disciple outside have escaped." ”

He looked at Zhao Ning cautiously, "Immortal Master, if you can help us......"

Seeing that Zhao Ning continued to draw the mysterious pattern, he didn't look at him, his voice unconsciously lowered, and he didn't even dare to speak out again in the second half of the sentence.

"You are a second-level Qi cultivator, and it should be no longer a problem to deal with ordinary ghosts."

"That ghost thing came and went without a trace, and it was not easy to catch the shadow, Ren Daoyou cast a spell attack, but he couldn't hurt the ghost thing in the slightest, and Ren Daoyou was even seriously injured by the backlash."

He secretly glanced at Zhao Ning and begged again, "Senior? ”

As soon as the tip of the pen moved, a piece of white paper with ancient cloud patterns floated up, and then fell on He Qiu's hand.

He Qiu held it in horror, not daring to look more, but he didn't want to condense the tip of the pen a little more, and it became ordinary in He Qiu's eyes, just a strange pattern.

"This? Senior, what is this? ”

Zhao Ning took out a blank piece of paper again, and said nonchalantly, "Binding." ”

He Qiu didn't understand, in the mundane practice, he might not even be able to figure out what the ancient cloud pattern was.

"Use the word 'bind' against that ghost." Zhao Ning suddenly raised his head, tilted his head slightly and smiled at him, "If this doesn't work, then it means that this ghost thing is extraordinary, and I am afraid that there are treasures or masters to protect it." ”

He Qiu was stunned, and suddenly felt a hint of coolness, if the word 'binding' was useless, and he tested the strength of the ghost, wouldn't he also die.

At this moment, he looked at the smile on the corner of Zhao Ning's mouth, and he felt chilled.

No, he must be well prepared before going.

He carefully folded the paper and handed it over to say goodbye, "Do the seniors have anything else to explain to the juniors?" ”

There is some implication in these words that they want to ask for something powerful.

But Zhao Ning buried himself in drawing the ancient cloud pattern again, and ignored it at all, in Zhao Ning's opinion, if the ancient cloud pattern is not useful, then this ghost is really not ordinary.

Seeing this, He Qiu retreated with interest.

As soon as he walked to the door, he saw the only disciple who was hanging and escaped with him.

Looking at the emptiness of his hand, "Where's your thing?" ”

"What?" The disciple suddenly remembered that what He Qiu was talking about should be the pile of demon-subduing and demon-destroying things just now, and the disciple had a bitter face, "Master, didn't you just say that these things are misleading people's children?" ”

He Qiu tapped his disciple again, "We're going to meet in that Pingyi Village at night, misleading people's children, as long as we can mistakenly find ghosts, it's useful." ”

Listening to their voices gradually moving away, Zhao Ning drew calmly.

Until the night, Zhao Ning was still selflessly drawing the ancient cloud patterns, until the next stroke fell, but the ink spots on the brush fell abruptly.

Directly ruined the entire primeval moire, Zhao Ning put down his pen and looked out the window, there was no one on the street anymore, and it was slightly bleak in the dim moonlight.

The Divine Consciousness was released outward, and it seemed that some chaotic voices and cries with the power of soul devouring power could be heard in the distance.

Zhao Ning shook her head, it seemed that she really miscalculated, and the ancient cloud pattern "binding" was really useless.

The figure flashed, and the person had disappeared into the bookstore.

Pingyi Village, known as Zhuangzi, is actually a large house with three entrances and three exits, but it is particularly conspicuous in the suburbs, and it is called Zhuang.

He Qiu successfully rescued several disciples and Ren Daoren, but the crisis was not completely resolved.

Several of them ran in the verandah in all directions, constantly looking backwards, and the back was sunk in darkness, and from time to time there was a cold cry, crying that their hearts seemed to stop beating, and the darkness seemed to be wrapped in the cry little by little.

Several of He Qiu's disciples had been trapped here for a day and a night, and they were numb at the moment, looking even calmer than He Qiu.

One of them even complained, "Master, didn't you say that you got something very powerful and could bind the ghost, what is this thing that is chasing after us?" ”

"You ask me, I ask who to go." He Qiu retorted, but he didn't dare to say more, but said, "I'm afraid this powerful ghost is extremely powerful, we have to find a way to save our lives, and if we can go out, we will quickly pass the news to our seniors." ”

"Master, it looks like we don't have that chance anymore." I don't know who suddenly interjected.

I saw that the person who rushed to the front suddenly stopped, but fortunately, his figure was very burly, and when several people from behind crashed into him, they did not knock him down.

"What are you doing?" In the confusion of everyone, the burly man pointed forward with shaking hands.

They were all paying attention to the ghosts chasing after them just now, and they didn't have the heart to look ahead at all, and it was already instinct to run forward.

But I don't want to look at it at this time, it's terrible, it's pitch black ahead.

There was still a faint blood light depicting the appearance of a female ghost, and the terrible cry was even more powerful, as if it was about to rush to the ear.

One of the disciples couldn't bear it, and blood was already oozing from his ears.

Several people were in a circle with their backs against their backs, and they were not guarding against it, but so that their legs would not slip and slip.
