Chapter Forty-Nine: The Dharma Protects the Body and Fears Evil

Zhang Xian returned to Hanguan City, wanting to confirm whether Xie Yuanqing had a relationship with Mrs. Xiu, according to the physiognomy of Fang Xian's five techniques, if Mrs. Xiu secretly coincided with Xie Yuanqing and gave birth to Zhang Jing, then there is blood inheritance, and there must be cause and effect in physiognomy.

With his current eyesight, he can tell at a glance whether Zhang Jing is Xie Yuanqing's son, and if so, then it must be Xie Yuanqing who assassinated Uncle Liu.

He took out the banner of the doctor and continued to pretend to be a charlatan, and after inquiring casually, he knew the location of Xie Hou's Mansion.

"Come on, come on, Kunlun Shangxian, secret pill recipe, cure evil diseases, and get rid of demons and ghosts. ”

While shouting on the street, he walked to the direction of Xie Hou's Mansion, and there was still a street away, he stopped, only to see that the street was very lively, gathered a lot of people from the rivers and lakes, in groups of three or five, all with weapons on their bodies, vaguely talking about something in Xie Hou's Mansion.

He listened attentively, and it turned out that Xie Fu was recruiting the family members of the family care home, and they also set up a ring to compete, but the heroes of the rivers and lakes on the street were all with guys, where were the family members, and it was clear that they were recruiting.

Emperor Yang ignored the government and politics, several princes formed gangs, and these princes and princes recruited troops and horses, and each of them was fighting openly and secretly.

He glanced over and saw a vendor selling osmanthus cakes on the street, he thought about it, inquired about the situation first, and stepped forward to talk: "This donor, how to buy this osmanthus cake?"

"Yo! It's a Taoist, this osmanthus cake is five pieces of copper each, and the Taoist chief wants to turn into a fate, let's send you a few. ”

The peddler shouted, with an enthusiastic face, thinking that Zhang Xian was fateful, and when he picked up the leaves, he had to wrap a few pieces for Zhang Xian.

In these years, the emperor believed in the immortal way, and the warlocks of the rivers and lakes could be seen everywhere, and they were very popular with everyone.

"Hehe, the donor is polite, the cultivators of my generation don't owe cause and effect, so I can't ask for you for nothing. ”

Zhang Xian smiled indifferently, took out a copper plate, only five pieces, picked up one and put it in his mouth, began to set it closely, and praised: "Donor, your osmanthus cake is good." ”

The peddler took the money, and when he heard this compliment, he immediately danced with joy, and said: "That's it, we are an ancestral craft, my ancestor, five hundred years ago, made pastries for the emperor in the palace." ”

"Ahem......"

Zhang Xian coughed twice, almost choking, he thought he could blow enough, but he didn't expect this vendor to blow better than him, he smiled, and asked straight to the point: "Donor, there are a lot of practitioners on this street, what's the matter?"

The peddler said: "Xie Hou Mansion recruits a family, who has practiced martial arts, set up a ring, and the disciples of the Yanwutang in several nearby cities have come to participate, somehow, I have a red eye with a few Yanwutang in our city, I heard that even the master of the Yanwutang has shot, and the fight is very lively." ”

"Oh, I see. ”

Zhang Xian suddenly responded, and immediately understood, it turned out to be a fierce battle between the martial arts halls.

Martial arts practice also has to have a certain errand to make a living, the martial arts hall is the school of martial arts, powerful martial arts students can be recommended to participate in martial arts, but there are many general martial arts students, the best way out is to take refuge in these princes and magnates, mixed with an official and a half-job, in addition to the army is to join the army, the worst is to run the rivers and lakes.

Between these martial arts halls, each has its own territory, the most taboo to cross the line, Xie Hou Mansion recruits people in Hanguan City, and the Yanwu Hall in Hanguan City must be regarded as its own land, of course, it is not satisfied with other Yanwu Halls to grab places.

"Donor, this matter is fighting, doesn't Hou Ye Xie care?" Zhang Xian pulled the topic to Xie Yuanqing, he wanted to make sure that Xie Yuanqing was not there.

The peddler said: "Daoist, you don't understand, this martial arts practitioner does not fight, can he still be called a martial arts practitioner? Xie Hou Ye let go, offered a reward of 100 gold, plus the official position of the general manager, whoever wins the battle will belong to whomever it is. ”

"One hundred taels of gold, so many!"

Zhang Xian pretended to be surprised, but he understood in his heart that this was a deliberate momentum and wanted to recruit masters.

The peddler said: "What is this one hundred taels of gold, Marquis Xie is a general with soldiers and horses, a big celebrity in the dynasty, if he can become the head of Xie Hou's Mansion, he will not be able to rise to prominence in the future, and he will glorify his ancestors." ”

"Hehe, the donor is right. Zhang Xian smiled and asked, "I don't know if this ring, is Hou Ye Xie present?"

The hawker said: "Hou Ye Xie must be here, but this ring is divided into two, the outside ring wins, you have a chance to enter the Hou Mansion, I heard that Hou Ye Xie personally watched in the ring in the house, as long as you can enter the house, even if you lose, you can also receive a reward and become the keeper of the Hou Mansion." ”

"I see, I'm going to see a show, hehe. ”

Zhang Xian smiled and left, as if joining in the fun, and went to the front of Xie Hou's mansion.

After determining Xie Yuanqing's presence in the mansion and his approximate location, he didn't have to look around, he could directly open his eyes and take a look.

The street in front of the Hou Mansion is lively at this time, there are so many people that it is impossible to get through, and I saw a high platform from a distance, and two men were competing in martial arts.

Both sides wore protective gear, one was tall, tiger-backed, strong and strong, with two temples bulging, at least a master of about five grades, holding a Daguan knife, the knife was not sharpened, but the Daguan knife is a heavy and long weapon, and the power of chopping is extremely great, even if it is not opened, it is enough to choke after taking a beat.

The other person was slightly short and thin, and his strength was obviously inferior to that of the other party, but at least he had about six grades, his movements were sensitive, he held a steel whip, and he dodged several slashes of the Daguan knife in a row, and when he was whipped on his leg, he immediately knelt on the ground.

If there is no protective gear, he is afraid that he will not be able to stand up, but with the protection of protective gear, the man stood up in pain, and threw out the Daguan knife with his backhand, and the other party dodged, but he took the opportunity to run to the weapon rack next to him and replaced it with a large ring knife.

Seeing this, the man immediately caught up and fought, but changed to the big ring knife, the weight was much lighter than the Daguan knife, and the movements were obviously flexible and accelerated, and the two fought equally, and it was difficult to distinguish.

The spectators who carried it down shouted and cheered, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Zhang Xian looked at it for a while, but he smiled, and he didn't feel interested, he had seen a lot of masters in the Guogong Mansion, and then he looked at these people who fought in the ring, it was just the same.

And he can see that both sides are mainly practicing boxing, and the use of weapons is slightly inferior, and the big ring knife makes it a little messy, and when the knife is transported, the ring on the back of the knife is messy.

The steel whip on the other side is not very skilled, but the skill of the whip method is simple, it is a random beating, although the strength is not as good as the other party, but they are all in the third grade, the difference is not big, and it does not affect.

"Jinyun Tuo preaches boxing and does not pay attention to weapons, but when it comes to actual combat, he has to rely on weapons, and the imperial court uses this to restrain the world's armed forces, and allows martial artists to maintain martial arts practice and deter barbarians from all directions, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. ”

Zhang Xian's heart is like a mirror, boxing is self-cultivation, and weapons are actual combat killing.

He didn't look too much, found a secluded corner, stared at it, and looked into the Hou Mansion.

This Xie Hou Mansion is very large, and there are many people, if he doesn't know the specific range, he is only afraid that he will have to look for a long time, but when he learned that there was also thunder in the mansion, he quickly found a place where a cloud of blood and red light gathered, and the two masters were competing, his eyes contracted, his vision narrowed in, and he looked at the people watching the battle around.

There are many masters in Xie Hou Mansion, he looked at it at a glance, and saw several powerful red lights, all of which were first-class masters of the three upper grades, and there were many middle and third grades, these blood and qi were intertwined, as if the house was on fire, the red light was shrouded, and the blood was surging, interfering with his view, so he had to lock them one by one and take a closer look.

After looking at it for a while, his eyes were a little tired, he closed his eyes and rested for a while, and continued to look again.

After a while, he found a special red light, and he was also a master of the three upper grades, and his blood and qi were restrained, and the weather changed, turning into a mighty beast form, majestic and indescribably expensive.

"Say goodbye, look at its breath, know its fate. The emperor's family is a dragon and a phoenix, and the prince is a divine beast, this person should be Xie Yuanqing. ”

His eyes froze, his eyes locked on this qi machine, his perspective changed, and he immediately saw this person clearly.

This person is a middle-aged appearance, standing on the platform, wearing a brocade robe, wearing a jade crown, holding a cup of tea in his hand, condescending, looking at the competition in the ring below, quite leisurely and elegant, not at all a person who practices martial arts.

Zhang Xian carefully watched this person's face, and sure enough, he was related to Zhang Jing by blood.

"Mrs. Xiu, this poisonous woman, must be Uncle Liu who colluded with Xie Yuanqing to murder her, but this Xie Yuanqing's blood is so strong, and the blood is restrained, the spirit is condensed, and there is a trace of rhythm between her gestures, giving people a sense of elegance and leisure. ”

Under his heavy pupils, it was like opening the eyes of heaven to check yin and yang, and he could see Xie Yuanqing's foundation at a glance.

During this period of time, he was with the immortal master, and many doubts were realized, and he knew that this kind of condensed and formed picture, dragon and phoenix, beast form, thunder, etc., is called the law phase, which is a symbol of the spirit of the heart.

Possessing the law phase means that the spirit of the heart is very cohesive, not afraid of ghosts and evils, and ordinary spells are difficult to shake.

In addition, Xie Yuanqing turned out to be a master of transforming energy, and his realm was compatible, comparable to practicing qi and transforming gods.

"Hey...... To deal with Xie Yuanqing, I'm afraid that my Taoism is not enough. ”

He couldn't help but sigh, the enemy had found it, but there was nothing he could do, this feeling was too heavy.

However, his mind moved: "Ordinary spells are difficult to shake, so what about unusual spells?" such as the Six Gods Fear Spell, and then the ......"

He touched the sword bag behind him, the sword given to him by the immortal master was contaminated with the Taoism of the innate realm, it can be described as an immortal magic weapon, and with the spell casting method, the power must be not small, but ......

"But the master sent me to cut off the mortal, hoping that I would cut off the mortal thoughts and seek the Tao wholeheartedly, but I used it to kill people, which doesn't seem appropriate. ”

He hesitated, but when he thought about it, he suddenly smiled.

"There is a providence in the underworld, after cutting off the mortal, after cutting off the mortal thoughts, you can seek the Tao wholeheartedly, maybe this is the will of heaven. ”

He realized something, put away his thoughts, got up and left the street, bought some dry food, walked out of Hanguan City quickly, found a secluded wood, practiced quietly, and practiced the sword of slashing mortals.

After killing Xie Yuanqing and taking revenge, his thoughts can be smooth, which is to cut off his mortal heart knot.
