"This fellow Daoist, may I ask which faction it is, but there is a Daoist?"

But it was said that as soon as Zhang Xian set up a stall on the street, he met the spirit rune dao and the official servants, and collected money under the banner of the demon town, and saw that he was also a Taoist, and the other party asked politely.

Zhang Xian wanted to keep a low profile, the collusion between the government and Fang Xian was not easy to provoke, he also held the seal in his hand and bowed, and said: "The poor road is wandering and scattering cultivation, there is no door, no faction, and no way. ”

"Oh, Daoist friends don't have Dao!"

The young Taoist priest in the lead looked abrupt, he was polite just now, but his face changed in a blink of an eye, and he shouted coldly: "There is no Dao, that is a charlatan, dare to make money on the territory of the Spirit Rune Dao, you are tired of it, give me a beating, smash this mess." ”

As he spoke, the two Taoist priests behind him rushed up, scooped up their sleeves and were about to move.

"Uh......"

Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, and almost didn't scold his mother, this Nima is a cultivator, he is clearly a group of strongmen and ruffians, and he is about to smash his stall and beat him, he is also a fire in his heart, but after glancing at the official next to him, he is depressed in his heart, if he fights, he is only afraid that he will suffer a big loss today.

"Hehehe. He hurriedly smiled, "Fellow Daoists, we are passing by here, I don't know if it is the realm of the Spirit Rune Dao, offended, offended." ”

As he spoke, he took out a few taels of silver, "Fellow Daoist, let's leave, I won't dare in the future." ”

The leading young Taoist priest took the silver, checked it in his hand, his face softened slightly, and said: "Boy, you know each other, but these few silvers want to buy Lao Tzu, do you think Lao Tzu has never seen money, and if there is any, take some out, otherwise you will be put into the prison of Nanyang City today, and you will be charged with drugs and cheated." ”

"......" Zhang Xian was so angry in his heart, this Nima is too much, it is completely a robbery, and he threatens to arrest him and put him in prison, this official mansion is also dark enough, colluding with Fang Xian to squeeze money, if he doesn't give it, I'm afraid that he won't be good today.

He took out a silver ticket of ten taels and said, "Fellow Daoist, I have saved the last ten taels, you raise your noble hand and let me go." ”

"Yo, there's still ten taels. ”

The leading young Taoist priest took the silver ticket, looked at Zhang Xian's appearance again, thinking that this poor and sour appearance could not squeeze too much, waved his hand, motioned to the two followers next to him to get out of the way, and said: "That's it, hurry up and get out of Nanyang City, on the territory of my Spirit Rune Dao, I can't tolerate you and other evil sects to be presumptuous." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you. ”

Zhang Xian nodded hurriedly, picked up the basket and walked away, but he was a grass and mud horse in his heart, and he actually said that he was a crooked and evil way, and this beam was finished, but don't blame him for really playing with this crooked and evil way.

He swooped into the crowd and quickly left the scene.

When the surrounding people saw this scene, they were also accustomed to it, the immortals of the Spirit Rune Dao, but they were enshrined by the imperial court, and now even the emperor believed in the Tao, and they, the county guards of Nanyang County, had to be polite to the immortals, who would dare to provoke the immortals.

"Drought demons descend from the sky, gather hundreds of family money, and town demons pray for rain......"

The Taoist priest team continued to move forward, shouting and collecting money, ringing bells, playing drums, and swaggering all the way through the market, and no one dared not pay the money.

Zhang Xian glanced at it from a distance, and couldn't help but be depressed, if it weren't for the people who cared about the government, he would have to kill these turtle grandchildren.

And he originally wanted to set up a stall in Nanyang City to make a few bucks, but unexpectedly, he didn't make any money, and he was squeezed out of a dozen taels of silver, and it was impossible to set up a stall.

"There is a saying in the rivers and lakes, smashing people's jobs is like killing their parents, this spirit rune is smoky, bewitching the public, squeezing money, if you don't let me make money, I can only take money from the spirit rune road. ”

Zhang Xian is not a conformist person, the Spirit Rune Dao is so horizontal, he is even more horizontal than the Spirit Rune Dao.

"Don't be in a hurry for the time being, let's touch the situation of the Spirit Rune Dao first, and it can be regarded as doing the Dao for the sky. ”

He turned around and went back to the inn, thinking in his heart, the spirit rune Dao has the imperial court, and he must also have some ability, but he doesn't know if there are people who know how to do Taoism in this Nanyang City, if there is, he has to be careful.

When he returned to the inn and passed by the main hall in the front yard of the inn, the shopkeeper saw him and couldn't help shouting: "Yo! Dao Chief, you are back, sit down and take a sip of tea." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly poured the tea and carefully delivered it, knowing that this young Taoist chief was a Taoist, and the shopkeeper was very respectful.

"Hehe, thank you. ”

Zhang Xian smiled and thanked him, others were polite to him, and he was also polite to others, took the tea and took a sip.

The shopkeeper said: "Dao Chief, what are you busy with, I saw the guest officer who sought medical treatment in the morning, told him about you, and was looking for you, but Dao Chang you are not here, so I won't go anywhere at this time." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Xian couldn't help but be happy, he didn't expect the stall to be smashed, and this time he came back to have a business, he said: "I went out for a walk around to see the scenery of Nanyang City." ”

He didn't say a word about the shame outside, and he didn't say anything about setting up a stall, he just said that he was looking at the scenery, so that he could have a master's style.

"By the way, Nanxi Guan in this city, do you know, little brother?" he changed his tone and began to inquire about it.

"Nanxi Guan, of course I know. The shopkeeper nodded and said: "That's the immortal of the imperial court, catching demons and ghosts, divination and hexagrams, and it works very well, especially the Lord of Zhouguan, who can pinch and calculate, and the Tao is very profound. ”

"Hmm, I can't afford to be sick, my family is ruined, what's going on?" Zhang Xian asked curiously.

Dian Xiaoer said: "This matter is a long story, it was a few years ago, the former county guard is a clean official, in the first year, found out a lot of corrupt officials, and said that Nanxi Guan has dealings with these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and it is also necessary to investigate, at that time, many people advised Taishou not to collide with the gods, be careful of disasters." ”

"Taishou does not believe in evil, saying that these are superstitions, but the next day it will be effective, a sickness can not afford, and because Taishou wrote a fold, reported to the imperial court, to cancel the Nanxi view of the edict, I heard that this fold is written too much, reprimanded the superstitious fairy way, so offended the big man above, was dismissed. ”

"Later, because of some old accounts, there were too many people who were offended, and they were beheaded all over the house, hey...... It's a pity that this is too shou, everyone said in private, too shou is too upright, and if the water is clear, there are no fish, and he collided with the gods and committed a disaster. ”

The shopkeeper sighed, living in this county town, I have seen a lot of these things, the world has not been peaceful in the past few years, and they have to sigh.

After hearing the ins and outs of this, Zhang Xian also frowned, and couldn't help but sigh for being so guarded.

The emperor is obsessed with Fang Xian, and he goes up and down, these officials and magnates also befriend Fang Xian, and reprimand Fang Xian, the consequences can be imagined, once they are dismissed, the tree will fall and scatter, and those corrupt officials who have been investigated and punished will not have to bite back.

And he noticed a detail, Taishou wanted to check Nanxi Guan, and he couldn't afford to be sick the next day, how could there be such a coincidence, he must have been hit by a spell.

"This Zhou Guan Master of Nanxi Temple, I don't know what his full name is, how old is he?" Zhang Xian asked, wanting to judge his cultivation by age.

The shopkeeper said: "I don't know my full name, but I'm old, I'm about forty years old." ”

Zhang Xian nodded, at this age, there should be no Bao Dan, and the innate masters of Bao Dan disdain to do some things, but how the specific Taoism is, you have to see with your own eyes.

He asked again: "What about Nanxi Temple, I don't know where it is?"

The shopkeeper said: "It's just outside the east gate, go out from the east city gate, look up and see it." ”

"Shopkeeper, hurry up and come to the upper room and get some good wine and food. At this time, a guest came next to him, shouting for the house and the food.

The shopkeeper hurriedly got up and said, "Dao Chief, you rest first, let's get busy, otherwise the proprietress will have to scold me for being lazy again." ”

"Guest officer, please ...... inside" The shopkeeper shouted loudly, busy greeting the guests.

Zhang Xian bowed his hand, signaling that although he was busy, he was thinking in his heart, he would go to the Spirit Rune Road tonight, get up and go back to the small courtyard behind.

A large inn like this, with an attic in front and a separate courtyard in the back, was still early at this time, and he pulled out his sword and practiced swordsmanship.

The sword is too heavy, and even with the strength of the three top grades, it is difficult to use it with one hand.

Generally, this kind of heavy weapon is either a short handle, such as a hammer, because the handle is short, the center of gravity is close to the hand, and the luck is more stable, or a long handle, such as a Daguan knife, etc., the handle is held with both hands one after the other, and the middle is the fulcrum, so that it can be used.

The shape of the sword is determined, and only one end can be held, provoking the entire sword body, and if the center of gravity is too far, the strength will be unstable.

The sword body of this sword is three feet long, the handle is one foot long, and the total length is four feet, that is, one meter three, and it can be held with both hands, but even so, it is still too bulky, and it is very difficult to put the arm flat and twist the sword, and it can only be used as a training strength.

However, observing the shape of this sword, the sword body is very wide, the width of a palm, the blade of the sword is very blunt, it belongs to the heavy sword without a blade, you can use your hand to hold the sword body, you don't have to worry about cutting your hands, he couldn't help but think of a way to carry the knife.

Holding the hilt of the sword in one hand, holding the sword body in the other, holding the sword horizontally in front of him, the sword body is so wide, it is easy to block the opponent's attack, and the sword is so heavy, as long as the opponent is sealed, gently push the sword, and directly suppress the opponent.

"Take precautions as an attack, and use heavy swords lightly. ”

He had an experience, and he practiced according to this method, and it really worked, with both hands holding the sword horizontally, and the center of gravity in the middle, he immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

He practiced for a while, and it was almost noon, when there was a knock on the door outside the small courtyard, he thought that the shopkeeper had sent lunch, and deliberately slashed the magic sword on his shoulder.

I have to say that this meter-long three-meter-long sword is carried, just like the protector god in the Taoist temple, which makes people feel powerful and domineering at a glance, solemn and extraordinary.

However, when he opened the door, it was not the shopkeeper outside, but a middle-aged man in a satin robe, followed by several strong family members.

Zhang Xian glanced at it, and immediately reacted, it should be a guest who came to seek medical treatment as the shopkeeper said, looking at this outfit, it should be a wealthy businessman.

"Meet the Taoist chief, come to disturb you, and ask for forgiveness. ”

The middle-aged rich businessman bowed, his tone was very respectful, he heard the shopkeeper say it this morning, and now when he sees it, this young man is wearing a Taoist robe, quite a bit of fairy wind and bones, and he is also carrying a big sword on his shoulder, which is really not like ordinary people.

Those few family members also glanced at each other, they were all practicing martial arts, and secretly said that this young Taoist was so good, such a thin body, like a scholar with no power to restrain a chicken, his strength was so great, didn't he use a spell?
