87.Chapter 87
Dial the time forward a little bit, and put it before Zhang Rang and An Ling played this disgusting family emotional drama, saying that he was looking for a first-class box to watch the play, but he was holding Sima Ling and turning around, and circled around the left near where Zhang Rang's mansion was located.
Walking around Luoyang in the middle of the night, he first had to hide from Wuhou who was patrolling the night, and now he had to hide from the northern lieutenants. A certain immortal warlock and the northern lieutenant office have been in contact with each other several times, and their mutual favorability has long been brushed into a negative value.
In Wei Ye's opinion, the group of goods in the Northern Governor's Office pinching their noses and pretending to be loyal and good officials are a bit of a sign of "Time and Space Adventure Identity Disorder Syndrome", and they have simply forgotten their identity as adventurers, and they urgently need to be forcibly sent to the Yang Yongxin Institute of Human Spiritual Civilization Electroshock Therapy for electric shock rescue.
But in the eyes of the Northern Lieutenant Office from the subordinate Qin Feng to the grassroots personnel below, a certain immortal warlock walked between several adventurer forces like a tightrope, and stumbled on the Northern Lieutenant Administration several times, not to mention, the front was as good as wearing a pair of pants with the Luoyang Branch of Taiping Road, and then he turned his hand to help the Big Gun Mansion capture Ma Yuanyi, the god of Taiping Dao, alive.
Well, anyway, they all hate each other, and there is only one option to kill each other when they meet, and it doesn't matter who is who.
However, I don't know that the auspicious events that have fallen from the sky in recent days have divided too much energy from the northern lieutenant, and this piece of Fang City has not arranged for people and horses to patrol, but it is cheaper for Wei Ye, and it is easy to find an old tree not far from Zhang Rang's main house. The tree seemed to have been struck by lightning, and a hole had been carved out of the trunk for the thunder fire, but the branches were still branching out on all sides, so that under the canopy there was an extra fork like a five-finger opening, just right for people to sit on.
Perhaps it was the appearance of this tree that made Zhang let the dead eunuch feel like he was hurting things, so he allowed it to grow next to the house. Tonight was cheaper for Wei Ye, leaving him a good place to stay.
Sima Ling still changed into the shape of a cat like a ball, and climbed up first, Wei Ye wrapped his sleeves and hems, and followed behind with his hands and feet and on the ground to climb the tree. This pair of uncles and nephews, although they are not smart enough, they have to be disliked by people to be snitches, and they don't have much movement when they climb up trees.
Wei Ye went up the tree, chose a strong position, and sat down cross-legged like this, not looking at the movement in Zhang Rang's main house, but reached into the cuffs and grabbed a few bits and pieces from the sleeve bag.
A white porcelain cartridge, an antique scanning pen with a wolf pen tip that has lost a lot of hair, and then two light, cylindrical things-
It's two snake sheds.
Stacking the two snake skins into a cross in front of him, Wei Ye held the ink cartridge in his left hand, and the wolf pen in his right hand, and didn't look for any water bowl pen to wash, so he dipped his spit on the tip of his tongue, and then took a pinch of the ink cartridge filled with nine turns of spirit sand-
A little bit of reddish aura immediately attached to the wolf's hair, but Wei Ye was busy raising his sleeves and just covering this glimmer:
"At this time, you can't play any lighting special effects, invisible and phaseless, so you can see my cleverness, okay?"
He asked himself like this, and the wolf that was full of nine-turn spirit sand ink was a little on the snake, and the sharp spiritual light followed the red nine-turn spirit sand, and it was snaked into a line of ancient seal script.
It is the fundamental seal of the mixed yuan Ruyi stone, the four words of "infinite change".
At first, it was just a line of ancient seals, but as the tip of Wei Ye's pen turned, the seal characters on the snake were like ant colonies awakened from hibernation, and the two snake moults quickly crawled all over them, making them look like a pair of red-hot soldering irons.
This pair of snake molts was begged by Wei Ye from Alley, and it was the skin shed by the pair of xenomorph spirit snakes raised by Alley. The snake molt, also known as Longyi, is very healing after being used in medicine, but Wei Ye does not use it to combine medicine.
The art of sacrificial alchemy of the mixed yuan ruyi stone is divided into two ways, the outside is the use of sacrificial refining tools, and the inside is the art of change. Since it is named after Ruyi, the characteristic of this spell lies in the four characters of change in size and weight. It's just that Wei Ye is still uncertain, can this spell only be applied to dead things, or is it as good as it is for living things?
However, for the sake of insurance, Wei Ye still didn't dare to directly take someone else's spirit snake for this kind of experiment, so he could only don't take a tricky way. In the application of the art of Taoist transformation, there is a very famous method, which is called the method of borrowing things to replace the form. This kind of method is based on the theory of idolatry, which has existed since primitive religions, and in various cultural circles, this theory has different directions of application.
The theory of idolatry is also simple to say, but roughly speaking, it is nothing more than the famous four words of "cultivating the truth through falsehood" in Taoism. In ancient religions, the consecration and prayer assembly rituals of building a statue of a god to attract divine power are considered to be one. More primitive shamans carved prey and defeated enemies on petroglyphs to perform curses. As for the buried puppets and paper-cutting people on the left side of the door to take pictures of the enemy's true form, and practice that kind of evil art that seduces the soul and soul, it can also be regarded as the abuse of this kind of theory. As for the three corpse stand-ins and blood clones sacrificed by some so-called Zhushan Sect and Great Asura Demon Sect cultivators, they can also be regarded as special applications based on the same theory.
Of course, the method of substituting things for form was developed in the Dao Technique, and later on, combined with the Forbidden Technique, to form a new category, and almost evolved into the Dao Technique of mass destruction against the city and the army, which was not something that a beginner immortal warlock like Wei Ye could afford.
Seeing the two snake shedding as if they were living creatures wriggling between the branches, Wei Ye knew that this was the two snake shedding and their original bodies that had sensed each other. Don't hesitate at the moment, the wolf draws an edict when it is empty, and the void is a little down-
While Wei Ye was practicing the law, there were also people patrolling slowly in Zhang Rang's main house. Although he was not the son of Zhang Rang, the dead eunuch's family, and he did not sign any documents for Zhang Rang to sell himself, on the contrary, this person is still a doctor of Taichang Temple with a noble identity, but he is willing to do this cheap servitude.
Speaking of which, this person has a good relationship with Wei Ye, and he has worked together in the Luoyang Imperial Prison Bureau. In other words, Wei Ye had been assigned chores by this person.
That's right, it was Du Lan, the unambitious doctor official of Taichang Temple, but he didn't know why he was arrested by An Ling, Zhang Rang's nephew, today, and came to Zhang Rang's house to be a night watchman.
For this dispatch, a few decades ago, officials from Shilin still firmly occupied the season of their official careers, even if they were not angry and fought with swords and bloodied Zhang Zhai, at least they had to scold in front of the old eunuch, and scolded the three generations of ancestors of the Zhang family turned over underground. But at this time, Du Lan only hated that he was not proficient enough in the way of easy calculation and divination, and he couldn't get more attention from the Zhang family, and he had nowhere to run for the Zhang family.
If you want Wei Ye to say, during the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, although the various systems of the Han Empire were almost destroyed by a group of losers, the prestige of the Han family is still there, and the grassroots of the empire still have a certain degree of self-correction ability, and there is still hope for cheering up. However, the central civil service system has been basically crippled under the manipulation of a few old eunuchs, and most of the people left behind are incompetent and skilled in party fighting.
As for the middle- and lower-level civil officials with hundreds of stone official ranks under the Luoyang capital, they produced a large number of goods that had neither bones nor ability. Like Du Lan, although he is also flattering the eunuch and shameless, he is still willing to patrol the night for the eunuch, and he can actually be regarded as a capable official!
The so-called phenomenon of the last days of the dynasty, the discipline of the intellectual class is in arrears, which can be said to be an important feature. At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were still party members who were unwilling to be restrained, and they fought several times and entered the beacon together. In the Northern Song Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Jingkang, there were piles of tartars leading the way. As for the end of the Ming Dynasty, Qian Qianyi shouted that the water was too cool and the scalp was itchy, and he didn't talk about shaving his head, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi and other great Confucians also responded to Kangxi Xiao Mazi's erudition and Confucianism, and felt that the emperor's grace was deep, and the morale during this period, not to mention chasing the two Hans, was not as good as the weak Song Dynasty.
As for the successors of Donglin's mantle and public opinion leaders, they puffed up their tongues and lips, and they went to subsidize overseas special funds with negotiable origins for profit. Although these people don't have any morale, they are at least very professional, taking people's money and loyalty, and even the style of the underworld rangers in ancient times, which can be ignored.
Dr. Du Landu does not have the vision of Wei Shuban for many idle years throughout the ages, but he has a simple and intuitive insight into today's Luoyang officialdom.
What is to slap this husband and flatter that eunuch, it is all useless and wasteful. As long as Zhang Lao Chang is well knotted, he can remember his hard work of staying up late to patrol the house, which is really more effective than any recounting of merits and labor!
Thinking like this, Dr. Du was immediately full of enthusiasm, and he walked with a high-crowned and scarf-like bearing, regardless of how An Ling gave him the fingers behind him.
Now he is full of one thing, the emperor blesses, let Zhang Lao Chang Shi recover as soon as possible, and just look at things! I also want to change the position of 600 stones!
In this way, I was so elated, I couldn't see the road under my feet, and my toes were off, but it was like stepping on a very smooth tree root, so I didn't slip.
The sons of Zhang Rang's house in the back also knew more or less about the situation, and they were busy coming over to help him, and after a few steps up, a sharp-eyed family member couldn't help but shout: "It's a snake!"
It's good that he doesn't scream, this call, a few family members with ring-headed knives in their hands saw the yellow-scaled snake that was stepped on by Du Lan but seemed to be unaware of it by the firelight. There is a person who is extraordinarily bold, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, three inches at the head of the snake is a knife!
The blade slammed into the snake scales, but there was a sound of gold and iron clashing, and sparks burst out, Du Lan saw the snake under his feet spitting out letters, but red light came out of his body. Seeing that the whole body of this snake was wrapped in red light, it was long when he saw the wind, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the thickness of a bucket, Du Lan didn't even have time to scream, so he "squeaked" and completely fainted!
