Chapter Eighty-Five: Reversal
Liang Wenfu immediately sat down like a deflated ball. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Now it is not the shackles that trap him, not this prison, but another invisible but formidable shackle - the imperial authority is strict!
Regardless of whether or not he has been wronged, or whether or not the person who arrested him is a dumb official, as long as he dares to escape from prison, his nature will immediately change -- that is in defiance of the imperial power and the king's law! And the bullying and oppression of people by unscrupulous officials is at most just a matter of corruption.
It is indeed easy for him to escape, but what about after that? In the eyes of the emperor, is it more important to maintain the dignity of imperial power, or is it more important to punish faint officials?
Looking at Liang Wenfu with an uncertain face, Zhou Zhixian smiled and said to him: "Don't worry, Lu Tongzhi doesn't dare to do anything to us, and it will be fine in two days!"
Looking at the appearance of Zhou Zhixian Zhizhu in his hand, Liang Wenfu immediately felt a lot more relieved, and dispelled the idea of breaking out, after all, the officials of this world are not weak scholars, enough to crush any cultivator into ashes. If you really escape from prison, even if you are a cultivator, I am afraid that you will have to take your whole family to live in seclusion in the mountains and wilderness in the future.
On the morning of the fourth day, Liang Wenfu woke up naturally from a sleep, and after getting up, he always felt a little weird, and after thinking about it for a while, he realized that no one had come to wake him up today! When he went to the hall, he saw that the breakfast that had been placed on the table early every morning a few days ago was gone today.
When I went to the courtyard outside, I found that there was no sound in the entire Shengping Prison compound, not only the servants in the courtyard were gone, but even the guards were all gone.
Liang Wenfu felt that something was wrong, and was busy waking him up in Zhou Zhixian's room.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Zhixian asked strangely.
"There is no one in the courtyard, and now it seems that only the envoy and me are left in this Shengping Prison!" Liang Wenfu briefly explained the situation.
Zhou Zhixian frowned, went to the courtyard outside with Liang Wenfu to observe, and said to himself strangely: "What's going on?"
At this moment, there was a sudden tremor on the ground, and before the two of them could react, they heard a loud "boom", and the surrounding courtyard walls all fell down at once, and the sky was full of dust and instantly covered the entire courtyard.
Liang Wenfu frowned, and with a strong force, the trapped lock on his wrist was shattered with a "click", and then he swung it out with a strong palm, and a strong wind blew away the dust in front of him, and then he and Zhou Zhixian saw the surrounding scene clearly. I saw dozens of square copper pillars inserted on the ground around them, each of these copper pillars was more than half a person high, the surface was as smooth as a mirror, and the copper pillars formed a large circle to surround the two of them.
Lu Tongzhi, who had not seen him for a few days, was standing behind a copper pillar at this time, holding the copper pillar in front of him with open hands, his hands were emitting golden light, looking at his sweaty appearance, it seemed to be very hard.
Liang Wenfu didn't understand what he was doing, but Zhou Zhixian's expression on his face changed drastically, and he roared angrily: "Lu Sima, what do you want to do!"
Lu Tongzhi didn't reply, he directly urged his whole body, and the light on his hands was even stronger, and then the copper pillar he held immediately burst out with a golden light, and the golden light shot to the opposite copper pillar and then reflected to another, the golden light was cross-reflected between the copper pillars, and more than a dozen copper pillars had been connected in the blink of an eye.
Liang Wenfu didn't hesitate when he saw that something was wrong, he didn't care that there was no pen around him, and directly drew a fiery red giant sword with his hand and slashed at several copper pillars, and at the same time, the person also jumped up, ready to preemptively restrain Lu Tongzhi.
At this moment, just listening to the sound of "hum", the golden light had been completely woven into a light net between dozens of copper pillars, and Liang Wenfu's amazing giant sword had just flown halfway, directly as if it had fallen to the surface of the water, and disappeared in the air silently.
And Liang Wenfu, who rushed halfway, immediately felt that his whole body was surrounded by a heavy invisible force, as if the whole person had sunk into the deep sea, and the spiritual power in his body was quickly squeezed and emptied out of his body, and then with a "bang", Liang Wenfu fell straight to the ground, and even felt extremely laborious to get up from the ground.
Liang Wenfu has experienced this feeling of spiritual power being drained several times, but the first few times were after a long time of fierce battles, and today's experience of being consumed by people in an instant has never been encountered by Liang Wenfu!
Seeing that the optical network had been fully activated, Lu Tongzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and took his hand away from the copper pillar, Liang Wenfu's sword just now startled him, but to his rejoicing, the optical network was finally completed first.
Lu Tongzhi wiped a handful of sweat beads from his forehead, and said disdainfully to Liang Wenfu: "Hmph! With your slight outer demon method, you also want to fight against me, the Haotian Demon Suppression Array?" Turning his head, he saw that Zhou Zhixian was still standing in the formation and did not fall, so he praised in surprise: "The righteousness is really still powerful! Zhou Zhixian, you can still stand upright, but I don't know how long you can hold on?"
Zhou Zhixian's eyes were about to erupt with fire, and he asked: "Lu Sima, don't forget, it is a capital crime to use righteousness against the people of your own country!"
Lu Tongzhi nodded and agreed loudly: "Yes, this is the iron law of Da Chen, and this official naturally knows it." ”
Zhou Zhixian couldn't withstand the pressure of the Demon Formation at this time, and sat on the ground, but he still stared at Lu Tongzhi's eyes outside the formation and asked, "Then you still don't take this Demon Formation away?"
Lu Tongzhi shook his head and said with a smile: "This official has not broken the law! Da Chen Lu is just not allowed to use righteousness to deal with the people, but what I am dealing with now is a demon!"
Seeing that Zhou Zhixian's sweaty face was full of doubts, Lu Tongzhi said directly: "Zhou Zhengchuan and Liang Wenfu, you two have a personal relationship with demons in order to practice demon law, and lead tree demons into the city, causing the tragic death of innocent civilians in Yi County, are you guilty?"
Liang Wenfu had been listening to the conversation between the two, and finally understood what Lu Tongzhi wanted to do.
Liang Wenfu also thought about whether Lu Tongzhi would trouble himself with the original tree demon, but he felt that it might not be big, after all, if he really investigated it, the tree demon could cause trouble in the city, and it was inseparable from his original concealment of the county magistrate's duties from the people.
But he really didn't expect that this Lu Tongzhi would directly accuse himself of being a "fellow tree demon", so that he himself got rid of the responsibility of destroying the city by the tree demon, not to mention, but also directly classified himself and Zhou Zhixian into the ranks of "demons". The law of the country does not allow the use of righteousness to deal with "people", but if it is used to deal with "demons", it will be fine, no wonder he just wanted to say that his Taoism is a "demon law".
It's just that Liang Wenfu thinks that this set is too reluctant, right? If it is so easy to kill the imperial court officials with a hat, the world will not be chaotic for a long time?
Sure enough, Zhou Zhixian also sarcastically said: "You casually say that I practiced demon law, and you want to kill me directly? Lu Sima is too whimsical, right?"
Lu Tongzhi nodded and said: "This crime really can't stand scrutiny, and it will be revealed when it is investigated." But you're going to die too, so I might as well make it clear: Now the official is the official's own uncle! After you die, no matter how many people suspect it, no one will be able to get along with my uncle for your sake!
This official has been contacting my uncle for the past two days, and he told me that after killing you, I only need to find a plausible charge, and I can fool the princes of the court when I report, and I don't have to worry about other things!"
Zhou Zhixian was about to say something more, but Lu Tongzhi directly waved his hand to interrupt: "It's merciful enough for this official to let you be a ghost, don't think about delaying any longer, you will die!"
After that, Lu Tongzhi slapped his hands suddenly, and a surging golden wind rushed towards the formation with the sound of a tiger's roar, Liang Wenfu, who had just struggled to stand up, was rushed by the strong wind, only to hear a few "clicks", and the ribs were directly broken a few times, and then Liang Wenfu directly spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground again softly.
After the strong wind knocked over Liang Wenfu, he didn't pause, and directly rushed towards Zhou Zhixian, who was sitting on the ground behind him. The corners of Lu Tongzhi's mouth hooked up a satisfied smile, he heard that the mana of this surnamed Liang is really good, just in case, he deliberately laid out this demon subduing array today before making a move, now it seems that he feels that he is really too cautious, killing these two people is simply twisting a little ant!
But in the next moment, the smile on the corner of Lu Tongzhi's mouth instantly froze.
I saw that when the majestic wind arrived in front of Zhou Zhixian, Zhou Zhixian stretched out his hands that were still locked together and directly blocked them, and then Zhou Zhixian exerted his arms, and the trapped locks on his wrists and the surging wind collapsed together, and Lu Tongzhi's attack dissipated like this!
Lu Tongzhi was shocked and asked in disbelief: "You...... How is it possible? Aren't you all drained of your righteous qi by the Demon Suppression Array? How can you resist my attack?"
Zhou Zhixian stood up from the ground and sneered: "If I don't make a show, how can I dig out your hole cards Master Lu?"
After speaking, Zhou Zhixian walked to Liang Wenfu's side and stood still and roared violently, a cloud of golden smoke burst out from his body, and then quickly turned into a golden tornado.
This tornado rose dozens of zhang high, enveloping a radius of more than ten zhang around Zhou Zhixian, although this tornado dispersed in just a blink of an eye, but it had already broken the demon array that overwhelmed Liang Wenfu. It also swept away everything on the ground within a radius of more than ten zhang, and Zhou Zhixian and Liang Wenfu, who were only in the eye of the storm, remained in place.
Lu Tongzhi couldn't help but be thrown out of the dozens of copper pillars he had planted on the ground around him, breaking a tree and falling to the ground. Lu Tongzhi choked blood from his mouth, and stared at Zhou Zhixian with an unbelievable face: "You...... It's just a county, how can it be broken...... Drop the demon array I laid down?"
Zhou Zhixian had only been carrying the Demon Suppression Array for a long time, and finally broke the Demon Suppression Array with one move, at this time, his righteous qi had been exhausted, and he had suffered a lot of internal injuries, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but flow blood.
Zhou Zhixian looked at Liang Wenfu on the ground, and saw that although he was seriously injured, he was not in serious trouble for the time being, so he patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, and walked towards Lu Tongzhi with a strong spirit.
Looking at Lu Tongzhi who was like mud on the ground, although Zhou Zhixian was tired, he still showed a victor's smile and said sarcastically: "This official will not kill you by himself, he has his own royal method to kill you! That is to say, you will not be able to die for a while, but I might as well tell you clearly: I am a person from King Fu, so my righteousness will be stronger than your Tongzhi! Now, do you know why this official has been quietly letting you control it these days, right?"
"King Fu, you are actually King Fu's person?!" Hearing Zhou Zhixian's words, Lu Tongzhi's face turned pale in an instant. He naturally knew that King Fu was the only uncle of the current emperor, and the former emperor wanted to pass the throne to King Fu, but King Fu took the initiative to resign to the current emperor. Therefore, now the emperor has great respect for King Fu, although King Fu is usually modest, but no one does not respect his old man.
Zhou Zhixian didn't say more, bent down and tore off Lu Tongzhi's crown belt, ready to tie his hands and say it - he has no righteousness now, and he can't use any forbidden techniques.
At this moment, Lu Tongzhi suddenly shouted at the bushes next to him: "Lord Prefect, how long are you going to hide?"
Zhou Zhixian was taken aback, looked up, and saw a person walking out of the bushes, it was Governor Zhang's mansion.
Zhang Zhifu's face was cloudy after he walked into the field, he heard Zhou Zhixian's words just now, and the name of King Fu set off a monstrous wave in his heart.
Seeing that there was a look of hesitation on Governor Zhang's face, Lu Tongzhi on the ground said directly to Zhou Zhixian: "I want to kill you, the prefect knows all about it, but he acquiesces in this matter!
Governor Zhang naturally knew that Lu Tongzhi was cutting off his own back road, but even if he wanted to kill him in his heart, he had no choice but to go down at this time.
So Governor Zhang gritted his teeth, kicked the weak Zhou Zhixian to the ground, dragged him and threw him to Liang Wenfu's side, and said with a hideous face: "I'm sorry, the old man has already gotten on the thief ship, kill you, I may still have a chance, if I let you go today, the old man will definitely die!"
After Liang Wenfu saw Zhou Zhixian suddenly reversing the situation just now, his heart that had been hanging finally let go, and he sighed in his heart: I didn't expect that Zhou Zhixian was stronger than Lu Tongzhi's righteousness, no wonder he looked like he had a bamboo in his chest in the past two days. But Liang Wenfu never expected that in the blink of an eye, the situation would be reversed again!
After Governor Zhang finished speaking, in order to avoid a long dream at night, he slapped his palms directly, accompanied by a whistling sound like a tiger roaring and a dragon's roar, and a surging golden wind rushed towards Zhou Liang and the others.
This move is exactly the same as Fang Cai Lu Tongzhi's move, but it is used by the more righteous Governor Zhang, and the power is naturally much stronger, and before the golden wind has reached his body, Liang Wenfu felt a sharp pain in his chest with a few broken ribs, and spurted out a mouthful of blood with a "poof".
And Zhou Zhixian stared at the sky above him in despair, and roared unwillingly: "Is the sky so unfair? I, Zhou Zhengchuan, am going to die at the hands of the villain today?"
