Chapter 53
Chen Fusheng only watched the first movie of A Chinese Ghost Story, so he naturally didn't know what kind of character Pudu Cihang was, but looking at the worried expressions of the two women, he knew a little in his heart, you know, even when he knew that they might face the Millennium Tree Demon or the Black Mountain Old Demon, he didn't show it.
"If it's really Pudu Cihang's hand on us, then, then ......"
Although he had already endured an ordeal and grown a lot, after knowing the opponent he was about to face, Bai Xianglu was completely confused, muttering a few words repeatedly, still not knowing what to do, and turned his head to look at Chen Fusheng and the others for help.
Originally, he planned to use the power of Chen Fusheng and others to return to the capital first and return what happened to the family, but if Liu Yidao didn't lie, then obviously the capital was not much safer than the Longtan Tiger's Den.
"Bai Gongzi can rest assured for the time being, what this person said may not be accurate, it is better to wait a little longer to see the specific situation before making a calculation. With a word of relief to Bai Xianglu, who had lost his soul, Chen Fusheng turned his head to look at the two rose girls, and said: "Since it involves Pudu Cihang, the protector of the country, we might as well put down this task for the time being, and wait until the matter of Lanruo Temple is over. β
The three heads of the people whose hair were tied together fell heavily on the wide and heavy public case, revealing Liu Yidao's big eyes with copper bells that had never been closed even if they died, and the resentment and anger in them almost frightened the obsessed county commander into falling from his seat and crawling on the ground.
"Boldly Diao Min, I didn't kneel down when I saw this official!"
The startled wood slapped on the table with a "snap", said familiar words, and listened to the three classes of officials beating the ground rhythmically with water and fire sticks, and singing "Wei...... Wu ...... reluctantly regained some confidence in the county order, and looked at the men and women beating the drums of injustice in the next line of the hall.
It's a pity that neither Chen Fusheng nor Tie Bi these contractors will accept this set, and stand proudly in place motionless.
"Your Excellency may wish to take a closer look, this person is Liu Yidao, a wanted criminal in your county with a bounty of a thousand gold, and the remaining two are named Wu Tianliang, and the other has a bandit named Cai Sanshou. β
Seeing that his own family is a good hand at making money and asking for bribes, and he is a mess in solving cases, the master who has a mouse beard next to him hurriedly leaned over to the ear of the county commander and whispered: "My lord, those two are bandits and robbers who occupy the mountain in Hengya Mountain, and it is said that the name of their big boss is Wu Tianliang, so outsiders call it 'Wutianliang', and they are the most ruthless and ruthless." β
"Okay, the strong man is really chivalrous and benevolent, and takes the initiative to share the worries and problems of the officials and the people of the county. β
Looking at the county decree that was about to give away most of the remaining bounty and all the credits silently, Chen Fusheng snorted coldly, raised his hand to stop: "There is no need for this, in addition, I have another political achievement that I want to give to my lord this time, and my lord guards the land of a county, I must have heard the rumors of Lanruo Temple in the eastern suburbs?"
"Lanruo Temple is just a deserted temple, there is nothing special, a few gentlemen asked what is this?"
"As far as I know, it's not very peaceful inside, and I don't know how many lives of the merchants who stayed in it were buried. Chen Fusheng looked around the court, looked at the yacha, arched his hand at the county order, and said casually: "I came here this time to borrow a group of officials from the adults, clear the Lanruo Temple, and return Beiguo County to a bright and prosperous place." β
gasped, and before Chen Fusheng finished speaking, the obsessive county commander waved his hand again and again, not wanting to listen to Chen Fusheng continue.
"No, the evil sect of Nalan Ruo Temple is abnormal, and the rumor that there are ghosts and monsters has been circulating for at least a hundred years, and it can almost be said to be a forbidden place. The master spread his hands and motioned to Chen Fusheng to look at the servants who took a step back in unison, looking helpless, "Even if the adults agree to you, no one in the entire Beiguo County will dare to set foot in it." β
I knew in my heart how fierce Liu Yidao and the robbers of Hengya Mountain were, and these masters even had a clear understanding of the strength of Chen Fusheng and others, so they didn't dare to refuse directly, but threw the problem back to Chen Fusheng.
"Humph!"
With a "bell", a cold light rose into the air, splitting the black yarn on the top of the county commander's head, and deeply inserting it into the blue sky and white sun map on the wall behind the county order, but it was the iron wall that snatched the saber from the waist of a leading yacha and threw it with his hand.
"You dog official, you don't know how to eliminate harm for the people, you only know how to be corrupt and ask for bribes, and it's just a matter of accepting personnel, and now we are willing to help you, but you still push back like this, don't you say that the sword in my hand can't cut your dog's head?"
Feeling the fear and surrender emanating from the county order, Chen Fusheng nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Tie Bi who was dressed as black, and said with a pleasant face: "Brother Tie Bi, don't be anxious, the county commander is not unwilling to help, but he is just unwilling to force his subordinates to do what they don't want." β
Seeing that the county commander nodded yes, Chen Fusheng patted the huge package behind the iron wall and said, "But I believe that there will be brave men under the heavy reward, let alone doing such a dangerous thing." Brother Tiebi, you can show things out, and then see what everyone thinks. β
With a smile, the iron wall untied the burden behind him, and with a shake of his hands, the yellow, platinum, gold and silver fell one after another, piling up into a small mountain under the ingenious strength, shining with infinite brilliance, and dazzling the eyes of the county commander, the master and the officials.
With his hands clasped around his chest, Tie Bi said proudly: "How much is the value of the gold and silver here, how much do you want to come, if there are ten people to go, ten people will divide the gold and silver equally, and if there are twenty people to go, there will be ten more people to share, but we will only recruit thirty people at most, of course, we will only pay a deposit of one percent in advance, and the rest will be temporarily deposited here by the adults, and when it is over, even if someone is lost in it, his share will never be less." β
These gold and silver are naturally part of the huge inventory of Hengya Mountain, and when Tie Bi saw this, he couldn't help but sigh that this kind of capitalless business is the real profit, and these are not recognized by the reincarnation space, and they can't be taken out, even if they are all used in this world, he will not have the slightest pity.
Thirty people, the size is also a little help, of course, the main role of these yacha is to act as a meat shield for those trialists, after all, for every one more person who survives, their team will have a survival point in the account.
"Thirty people?" Chen Fusheng clearly heard the sound of swallowing saliva in the lobby one after another, such a large sum of gold and silver should not be underestimated even if it is evenly distributed to thirty people, even if there is a lot of oil and water in the yamen, it will not be able to save it in a lifetime, and it is extremely cost-effective to risk one's life, especially when he knows that there are so many people, his courage will be a little stronger.
The obsessive county order and the thin master glanced at each other tacitly, and did not express any resistance, if they still believed that Chen Fusheng might be one of the few stupid people with their brains in water, they actually took the initiative to go to a haunted place like Lanruo Temple, but after the iron wall showed such a large sum of gold and silver, they woke up and Chen Fusheng and the others must have other reasons.
However, under such a large sum of gold and silver, and more importantly, the waist knife nailed into the wall behind them and the three human heads on the table, the two wisely chose to shut up.
"Even if they are strong in martial arts and can kill such bandits, but in front of those demons and ghosts, there is only one way to die, and when the time comes, just give a few taels of silver to the relatives and friends of the Yacha who unfortunately died in battle, and plug their mouths, and all the gold and silver will belong to the official, just take the opportunity to squeeze another sum of money from those guys who want to work in the Yamen. β
Staring intently at the gold and silver at the foot of the iron wall, the county magistrate thought proudly that now in this world, he can deceive and conceal himself, ask for personnel, and create countless unjust, false and wrongful cases, and live so nourishingly, and sit firmly in the seat of the county magistrate, this county magistrate seems to be obese and incompetent, but in fact, it is still quite capable, but it does not need to be on the right path.
The sword qi fell in the air, the dust flew, and when the dust settled, a ravine appeared outside the three Lanruo Temples, flat as a ruler, like a line between life and death.
Immediately afterwards, a voice sounded in the ears of sixty or seventy people at the same time, which was not angry and self-threatening, but faintly rejected people thousands of miles away: "What is your origin, why did you come to Lanruo Temple to disturb my cultivation?"
"Yan Chixia, don't you recognize me?" Lining up everyone, staring closely at the ravine, sensing the strength of the remaining sword qi in it, Xiahou Swordsman's face showed a little surprise, and he said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect to see you for a while, your swordsmanship has actually gone to the next level, very good, that's it, it's a pleasure to fight for a while." β
"It's not that I've made great progress, it's that you've wasted your youth. Jumping down from the wall, Yan Chixia held a sword in one hand, shook her head and said: "In the past seven years, no matter where I go, you have to find me to compete with me, just to compete for the false name of 'the world's first sword', you are too sharp, too murderous, but you don't know how to cultivate your body and mind, why bother with this!"
Xia Hou snorted coldly, obviously disappreciating Yan Chixia's words, since he was born in his mother's womb, he didn't believe in his father and mother, let alone any benevolence, righteousness and morality, he only believed that the sword in his hand was fast enough to cut everything, this was his heart for decades, how could he be easily moved by Yan Chixia's words.
"But I didn't expect you to bring so many people to Lanruo Temple to look for me this time, haven't you always looked at these ordinary people?"
At a glance, Yan Chixia could see that although these people were strong and powerful, most of them had no way to breathe and breathe, their steps were heavy, and they didn't have the spirit after practicing martial arts, they were obviously just ordinary people, and they couldn't help but secretly wonder, he chose Lanruo Temple, a place where ghosts and demons were entrenched, because it was secluded and no one disturbed his quietness, why did there suddenly appear so much, and some of them were still dressed as government officials, revealing the unique aura of people in the public gate, and the rest of the team that looked like a business traveler was mixed together, which was indescribably strangeγ
However, after a few glances, Yan Chixia's expression was shocked, there were obviously a few people with strange breaths, but they all had strong strength, not even much weaker than Xiahou, a first-class swordsman, it had not been long since he lived in seclusion in Lanruo Temple, why had so many unknown masters emerged in the world.
"You straw bales, you are unscrupulous when you bully the people on weekdays, and you rush forward one by one, why are you suddenly so timid now?"
Looking at the people who were frightened by this domineering sword and retreated, Xiahou swordsman pointed at those yacha and sneered: "Speaking of which, this Yan Zhutou is still your predecessor's companion, I think he was a hot judge in the southern seven and northern 613 provinces of Weizhen, and he was nicknamed 'Zhong Kui in the world', I don't know how many corrupt officials and corrupt officials have been captured, Jiangyang thieves, and he is famous in the rivers and lakes!"
"Chief Yandao. I didn't see how to move, everyone in front of me gave way on their own, Chen Fusheng walked out slowly, made a mockery at Yan Chixia, and smiled faintly, "The Taoist master misunderstood, these people were brought by me, and they have nothing to do with Brother Xiahou." β
While speaking, Chen Fusheng mobilized his divine thoughts to carefully probe the rough Taoist priest opposite, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
This person's name, occupation and even nickname are exactly the same as the Yan Chixia that Chen Fusheng knows, but under careful investigation, it is plausible, first of all, the appearance, Yan Chixia is burly, and her spirit is as generous and majestic as a battlefield general, anyone who sees it can't help but praise "a good Kansai man", although this person also has a heroic spirit, but the appearance is at most called "Xiongqi", which is less dignified than the real Yan Chixia.
And although the two of them are both cultivators, they are both sword cultivators, but there are still many differences, Yan Chixia practiced the secret Nanming Separation Fire Recipe of the Nine Heavens Sword Sect, which is the true transmission of the Daomen, specializing in the cultivation of Nanming from the fire, majestic and strong, and the Chixia Sword in his hand complement each other, this Yan Chixia is the sword qi of the other party's move, and then it is to use the qi to control the sword, but the sword is a hundred steps around the body, which is already a preliminary touch to the threshold of the imperial sword technique, but it is still much rougher than the best Daomen flying sword method.
And the other party is obviously dressed in Taoist costumes, but the fluctuation of divine thoughts faintly reveals the foundation of Buddhism's magical powers, just like Chen Fusheng's dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism, but compared to Chen Fusheng, it seems to be mixed and impure, in comparison, the other party is still the same pure martial arts aura as Xiahou around him, which is the strongest and solid.
When Chen Fusheng sensed Yan Chixia with his divine sense, the five contractors of Tiebi were also carefully looking at it, and communicated in the team channel from time to time, but most of their strength was promoted through space, not as good as Chen Fusheng and other monks through their own cultivation, so they had many drawbacks, and the nature they observed was superficial.
"The weapon he used is still this sword, and he didn't see the sword box that appeared in the second part, it seems that this time the reincarnation space did not deliberately improve the strength of the thousand-year-old dryad, and the casualties of the trialists should not be too large. β
"You still need to provoke the contradiction between Yan Chixia and the tree demon, you must know that the two of them have been together peacefully in Lanruo Temple for a long time before, and the well water has not interfered with the river water, if it weren't for saving Ning Caichen, Yan Chixia would not have confronted the tree demon at all. β
