Beimang County, county government.

From the outside, the county government was shrouded in a heavy black fog, and he couldn't see his five fingers. But this is not the case in the county office, it is still brightly lit, and in the lobby of the county office, three chairs are placed.

These three chairs originally belonged to Shang Xi, Sun Buzi and Wang Zhixian, but now Sun Bushi was tragically killed, and his chair was just occupied by Hong Chengqiu, who retreated from the Guan Que Inn.

At this time, all three of them sat on their chairs, each silent, and the candle flame in the lobby reflected the faces of the three people in a light and dark, and at the same time dragged their shadows long, and the shadows kept jumping with the candle flames, like ghosts with teeth and claws.

Outside, there is Wuzhen of the Vajra Sect, Su Yuncheng of the Cihang Sect, Mrs. Lu of the Taiping Sect, and the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal who has fallen but is still not to be underestimated. Then again, fortunately, it was the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal who had already fallen into the realm, if there was no falling realm, just by joining forces with Wu Zhen, even this array would not be able to stop them.

At this time, the three of them really had a feeling of being in a sleepy city.

After a long time, Wang Zhixian finally broke the silence, but what he said was words that had nothing to do with the current situation: "What should I do with those Qingluan Guards?" Zhao Wuqi, who is the leader, is also a master of the True Realm, and his weight is not light. ”

Shang Xi crossed his sword on his knees, closed his eyes and recuperated, and did not say anything.

Hong Chengqiu, who leaned the halberd on his side, asked, "Where are those people?"

Wang Zhixian said: "Some are still in the city, and some have already left the city, because they are Liu Gonggong's people, so we didn't treat him well, even if there are some living corpses and souls, they should not be able to help them." ”

Hong Chengqiu snorted coldly: "We have already reminded them in advance, since they don't listen to persuasion, then let them fend for themselves, if they hit the hands of those righteous people headlong, they will be considered unlucky, we can't protect ourselves now, where can we control them." ”

This county magistrate of Beimang County, in the early years, was also a genuine reader, ten years of hard study, first in the show, and then in the lift, failed to pass the Jinshi, can only make up for the lack of a eight-grade county Cheng as a lifter, don't underestimate the county, a county is a sparrow although the five organs are complete, corresponding to the six departments of the imperial court with six rooms, the county order is also known as the county respect, is the big lord, and the county is the second master, if the county order is not there, you can be the county Cheng acting for the county order. His original boss died of illness in office, and then he acted as the county magistrate, and after three years, he was in the middle of the evaluation, and the word "acting" was removed from his head, and then he was transferred to Beimang County and became a genuine seven-grade county magistrate.

When he first arrived here, he also had some ambitions to do something practical for the people under his rule. He is not the kind of stunned young man who reads and reads stupidly, he has been a county official for several years, and he knows that the most important thing for the official side is to make friends with the local gentry, so that the government can be passed, otherwise he is a puppet showcase. But he never thought that there were no big households in Beimang County, and there was only a cloud overhead, that was the Soap Pavilion Sect, so he went to the Guanque Inn to visit the shopkeeper under the mention of the local county Cheng, and then got in touch with the Soap Pavilion Sect.

To the surprise of Lord Wang, the Soap Pavilion Sect did not put up a shelf, and treated the newly arrived magistrate with courtesy, first a big feast, and then a pair of bewitching beauties were presented on the banquet, and after the banquet was dismissed, a hundred taels of gold and five hundred pieces of Taiping money were given, which flattered the county magistrate who was already ready to eat behind closed doors.

Wealth comes first. The beauties are charming, enchanting, full of gold and silver, and moving. Wang Zhixian hesitated for a moment, then smiled.

Afterwards, the Soap Pavilion Sect sent people to the door, and respectfully asked the county magistrate to do a few inconsequential little things, and it was not a big deal to take people's short hands, Wang Zhixian naturally would not refuse, and afterwards the Soap Pavilion Sect offered a thank you gift. Just like this, Wang Zhixian got on the big ship of the Soap Pavilion Sect, and fell deeper and deeper, and finally it was difficult to extricate himself, and he lost all his ambition at the beginning to take revenge.

Up to now, Wang Zhixian is no longer a scholar like a Confucian disciple, but a disciple of the Soap Pavilion Sect, in fact, the Zhixian of Beimang County has always been a member of the Soap Pavilion Sect, if he refuses to attach himself to the Soap Pavilion Sect, he will either be squeezed out, or he will die violently for no reason one day.

This time, the Soap Pavilion Sect was able to set up three large arrays in the city, and at the same time, it used the county government as the eye of the "Refining God Array", and this Wang Zhixian can be said to have made great contributions.

Wang Zhixian could hear this, after all, he was not from the rivers and lakes, and his face was already pale.

Shang Xi, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, slowly opened his eyes and said, "If I knew this, I should have left these Qingluan guards in the county government, and then used the 'God Refining Array' to refine them into the 'Eighteen Immortals', which is more useful than those officials." ”

Hong Chengqiu said angrily: "Master Shangtang, what's the use of you talking about these things at this time, the Sun Tan Master who presided over the formation is dead, and the Fan Tan Master who handled this matter is also dead, you and I are both martial artists, so we can only reluctantly urge the formation to protect the county government, and if we want to refine the 'Eighteen Immortal Ding', we can't do it." Besides, after all, they are Gonggong Liu's people, and it's one thing for us to ignore them, but it's another thing to take the initiative to attack them. ”

Shang Xi was about to speak, when an old voice came from outside the hall: "Liu Yi's people, if you kill them, you will kill them, it's not a big deal, how could our Soap Pavilion Sect ever be afraid of things?"

This voice, at first glance, seems to be a little weak, like the half-dead voice of a dying person, but when you listen carefully, it reveals a sense of ethereal birth, which is similar to the "ethereal sound" of the Xuannu Sect.

All three people in the hall stood up from their chairs at the same time and looked out of the hall together.

I saw a "yin and yang door" appear out of thin air in the courtyard outside the hall, four white paper figures carrying a coffin slowly out of the door, these four paper figures are the most common paper people, used to burn the kind of deceased elders in the family, two men and two women, men left and women right, miserable white faces, snow-white blush, two eyes as black as ink, grinning, stiff smile, extraordinarily infiltrating.

The four paper figures stopped a few feet away from Datang and put the coffin on the ground as if they were alive.

Seeing this scene, the three of them had already rushed out of the county hall, knelt down and saluted together: "I don't know that the sect master has arrived, and I hope the sect master will forgive me." ”

The lid of the coffin opened on its own, and then I saw a tall old man in a shroud slowly sitting up from the coffin, unlike the old Tibetan man in the northern mountains, this Tibetan old man's face was intact, and his gas posture was also different.

If the old Tibetan man in the Beibi Mountain seems to be the emperor of the underworld, extremely powerful and breathless, then this Tibetan old man is ethereal and unfathomable, unfathomable, and difficult to see the bottom.

The Soap Pavilion Sect has the method of "three refining", so the old man has three bodies, corresponding to them: refining the gods, refining the corpse and refining the soul. The incarnation of the image of the hunchbacked old man who was destroyed earlier in Jingzi Town in Jingzhou was the embodiment of the old man's refining corpse, and the incarnation that appeared here at this time was the incarnation of refining souls. And the Tibetan old man deity in the northern mountains corresponds to refining the gods.

The matter of cultivating the incarnation outside the body is the most costly, especially the level of cultivation of the incarnation, and it has a direct relationship with the things that are refined into the incarnation, if you can refine an immortal thing into an incarnation outside the body, then the incarnation will have the worldly cultivation of the immortal realm, but those who can do this, I am afraid that only the immortals in the sky.

The two incarnations outside the body of the old man in Tibet, the materials used are different, and the corpse refining incarnations among them are all kinds of high-grade corpses, including martial artists in the True Realm, and Fang Shi in the Innate Realm, as well as the bodies of many demon beasts, which are finally spliced together piece by piece, but they are still inferior in the fundamentals, and they are destined to not be on the table, so there is only the cultivation of the True Realm.

But this soul refining incarnation is different, it is a high monk in the realm of heaven and man after the incarnation, the body is immortal, leaving a golden body remains, the old man spent a lot of effort to snatch it over, the dove occupies the magpie's nest, refining it into his own external incarnation, so this soul refining incarnation comparable to the realm of heaven and man is the treasure of the old man, and he will not use it when he is idle.

Now that his deity is going to sit in the northern mountains, he has to use the soul refining incarnation as a last resort, and after Shang Xi and Hong Chengqiu saw this incarnation, their original hanging hearts were also put down, as long as there is a sect master sitting here, then the overall situation can be determined.
