Chapter 17 The Shopkeeper's Strategy
The five immortals, heaven, gods, earth, people, and ghosts. The latter two, one is a practitioner and the other is a cultivator, both of whom are not immortals, so the realm of earth immortals, which is known as half immortals, is the separation between immortals and mortals.
There are eighteen towering floors in the realm of earth immortals, and you can fly up to the immortals after the eighteenth floor, so the realm of earth immortals is regarded as the beginning of seeking immortals, and the earth immortals are all mortals before.
Throughout the ages, it is not uncommon for mortals to want to use clever means to make the earth immortal fall to the mortal dust, and the success or failure is about five or five, after all, the monks who can achieve the earth immortal realm are all top-notch people in the world, and all of them have their own opportunities, and naturally there are many life-saving skills that are not known to outsiders.
"Yaksha" is very good, but he doesn't know that Xu Beiyou has a sword hidden in his body, and there is a sword qi hidden in this sword, and the "Immortal" is just to make the earth immortal realm temporarily lose his cultivation, but this sword qi is specially designed to kill the earth immortal.
The so-called poison of the "Immortal Man" is just a joke for Xu Beiyou, who is burdened with the sword qi of the Immortal.
At this time, Xu Beiyou was not poisoned, but the "Yaksha" and Deyun, Dese, and Desi were really poisoned by the "immortals", and they couldn't use half of their cultivation.
Xu Beiyou spit out a mouthful of immortal sword qi, Bai Lian was like a horse, and the qi was like a long river, and the four people who had no power to resist were directly wiped out by the sword qi, leaving nothing, as if they had never appeared in this world.
More than a dozen secret guards pulled the crossbow machine in their hands together, and the god-destroying arrows rained down.
If Xu Beiyou didn't have half of his qi at this time, these god-destroying arrows would naturally pierce his body and put him to death, but where are there so many ifs in the world?
At this time, Xu Beiyou was not only burdened with a qi machine, but also undamaged, and was at his peak.
The supreme sword body self-generated sword qi protector, shattering the god-destroying arrows that shot at it inch by inch.
Xu Beiyou would not show mercy to these dark guard minions who wanted to take his life, and as soon as his mind moved, the sword qi was self-generated, and countless sword qi like a quarter moon swirled in, killing people like cutting wheat.
In just a few moments, the hall was already full of corpses, and the destroyed Heavenly Machine Crossbow and God-Destroying Arrow were scattered all over the place.
It can be regarded as having seen the strong wind and waves, Xu Beiyou was indifferent to this, walked out of the side hall with the sword box on his back, and then smashed the sword box in front of him, pressed one hand on the sword box, and waited for the main owner to appear.
At this time, everyone in the world knows that the young master of the Sword Sect, Xu Beiyou, wants the Northern God Capital, even the Governor of the Dark Guard Mansion does not dare to make a rash move against Xu Beiyou at this time, and the only one who has this confidence can only be the three major governors.
The three major governors of the Dark Guard Mansion will risk the big disapproval to attack and kill Xu Beiyou at this time, and it can only be Duanmu Ruisheng, the governor of the palm print. In terms of Duanmu Ruisheng's current situation, if you don't do it, you will do it, and you will inevitably succeed with a thunderous blow, and a so-called "Yaksha" is obviously not enough, so logically speaking, there should be a senior official of the Dark Guard Mansion who is directly ordered by Duanmu Ruisheng here.
Especially the previous bell that made the temple audible, made Xu Beiyou firm in his thoughts.
......
In the inn.
The shopkeeper silently counted the time, his face showed a little uncertain, according to the agreement between him and the "Yaksha", after the matter is completed, it will be reported with a unique signal, and the calculation time should be about the same, but at this time, there is no movement, could it be that something happened?
The shopkeeper's face couldn't help but be gloomy, after they determined Xu Beiyou's northbound route, they immediately carefully arranged it here, and smashed it into more than 400,000 taels of silver.
What went wrong?
According to the rules of the Dark Guard Mansion, there are generally two options for this situation, either to remedy it immediately at all costs, or to break the wrist of the strong man, cut off all clues, and completely clear himself.
As for whether to choose the former or the latter, it depends on the situation at the time. Especially the former, you must do what you can, otherwise the remedy will become fuel, and I am afraid that you will even have to take it yourself.
It was not a bloodless lesson before, the last time the Northwest Chonglongguan incident was the best example, Lu Shen, the acting governor of the Northwest Secret Guard Mansion, chose to remedy it, and used the entire Northwest Secret Guard Mansion to hunt down and kill Xu Beiyou and his party, and the result was that the matter of Chonglongguan was completely exposed, and the vitality of the Northwest Dark Guard Mansion was greatly damaged, and even Lu Shen himself almost died under the sword of Gongsun Zhongmou.
In terms of the current situation, his best choice is to miss a blow and run away thousands of miles, regardless of the situation in the Beichan Temple, immediately kill the relevant people and others, and then leave this place, not to tell the truth and give people a handle.
It's just that before he came, the Palm Seal Governor issued a death order, asking him to do this matter, otherwise he didn't have to go back to the imperial capital to see him, if he easily evacuated this place, not to mention that the arrangement of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver was completely lost, and the Palm Seal Governor would not be able to explain.
After a few hesitations, the shopkeeper still decided to gamble, betting that Xu Gongzi just killed Yaksha and the others desperately, and in fact, he was already seriously injured.
Just when the shopkeeper was about to leave the inn, Li Shanya and his party were just about to settle the bill.
A disciple of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion came to the counter and asked, "How much is the shopkeeper?" ”
The shopkeeper knew that he was from Tianji Pavilion, and he didn't want to reveal his identity, so he glanced at the cups and plates on the table, and said with a smile on his face: "No wine, eight dishes and one soup, plus a pot of good tea before the rain, a total of three coins and one cent of silver, erase the change, and collect three coins of silver from you." ”
This Tianji Pavilion disciple directly took out about half a tael of silver nude from his sleeve and threw it on the counter, "No need to look for it." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly put away the silver, saying good things about not wanting money, with a flattering smile on his face, and a vulgar manner, so that it was impossible to connect this innkeeper with the high-ranking officials of the Secret Guard Mansion who destroyed the full door of the Beichan Temple.
When the group left the inn, the smile on the shopkeeper's face gradually faded, and he instructed the only guy in the store: "Go and deal with the tail left before, and then leave this place immediately, wait for me in Ruyang Mansion for three days, if I fail to arrive as scheduled, you immediately return to the imperial capital, and report the situation here to the governor truthfully." ”

The guy nodded, and quietly retreated in the direction of the back kitchen.
The only one person left in the inn was the shopkeeper, and he took out a heavy account book from the counter, but it was not an inn account, but a confidential file that recorded the Dark Guard Mansion's operation before and after.
I saw that he stretched out his hand to caress the account book, and where the palm of his hand passed, the paper turned all the scorched yellow, and then the scorch mark expanded rapidly, turning into a raging flame, but it did not hurt the counter in the slightest, but in a few moments, the account book had turned into ashes.
The shopkeeper waved his sleeves, and the ashes scattered with the wind, and he strode out of the inn, and with another wave of his sleeves, the door of the inn closed by itself.
When he came to the street, the shopkeeper's eyes saw Li Shanya and his party walking in the direction of Beichan Temple through the heavy houses, and murmured: "The little fish crossing the river also have to wade through this muddy water? ”
He sneered, "Well, since you are in a hurry to die, I won't stop you, after you die here with the young master of the Sword Sect, let Lan Xiangye and Han Ge Lao slowly break it." ”
