Chapter 257: Chenghuang asks for help
"This Yang Jiye has repeatedly wanted to put me to death, fortunately the poor road has some means, only to survive, now although I was seriously injured, but he will never give up, this person is not like a ghost for me, my heart is uneasy, even if the Taoist master does not explain, I feel that he will not let him go, rather than waiting for him to come to the door, it is better for me to find him. Zhang Qian said in a low voice, and his words were full of murderous intent.
The Daoist of Tanglin nodded with great satisfaction, and then asked, "Do you know where Yang Jiye is now?"
"Although I don't know, it's not difficult to guess that this person has been injured by me many times and fled, and he has gone to danger, and now I'm afraid he is still in the chaos in Shuzhou, as long as he doesn't escape back to Xiaowei Mountain, there will always be a day when his whereabouts will be exposed. Although Zhang Qian said this, in fact, he didn't have much confidence in his heart, but if he wanted to go back to Xiaowei Mountain, he would definitely not be able to escape his own surveillance, and enter Xiaowei Mountain, he must pass through Wushan and Minjiang, and here the mountain gods and water gods are intersecting with themselves, and there is a righteous way to firmly blockade them, in case Xiaowei Mountain and sea toads and others escape back to the mountain, even if Zhang Qian wants to quietly pass through so many blockade lines, he can only give up his supernatural powers, block his own breath, and sneak between the mountains and wilderness.
It is also necessary to avoid the eyes and ears of the beasts in the mountains, otherwise the mountain god will know everything, so the speed will never be too fast, and it will take at least a year and a half to return to the cave of Xiaowei Mountain like this.
Therefore, Zhang Qian can now be sure that Yang Jiye is still staying in Shuzhou, and this person is the kind of person who does not achieve his goal and is not good at giving up, this time he must have a plan to go out of the mountain under the order of the teacher, although he does not know the specific situation, he can fold it in his hands three times in a row, except for a Qianyuan Creation Pill, there is nothing to gain, and the result he expected before going out of the mountain must be very different, he is now still healing somewhere, and after the injury is better, he will continue to move forward to the southwest, although Zhang Qian can't guess the specific purpose of his trip, he wants to get out of trouble with the great sage of the demon clan, Qingcheng Mountain Dadong Tian is inseparable from the world, such an important thing. It is impossible for the people of Xiaoweishan not to care.
Zhang Qian's heart was like a mirror, there must have been some kind of agreement between the Xiaoweishan Demon Sect and the Demon Clan, so he would send Wushengzi and others to escort the Minotaur to the land of the Southern Barbarians.
But now that this wave of people has been broken, the Xiaoweishan Demon Sect should have a back move, and this back move should be Yang Jiye.
With these inferences, Zhang Qian can almost grasp his whereabouts, although he doesn't know the specific location, but he can anticipate the enemy's opportunity, he can't escape from the palm of his hand.
"Well, even so. I can rest assured that this matter is left to you, and I will do my best to meet whatever I need. The Donglin Daoist exhaled a long breath, and his tired expression was slightly lightened, what he was worried about before was not how treacherous and dangerous Yang Jiye was difficult to deal with, but that he was a little restrained in doing this as an identity, and he had too many scruples. As a Taoist master and a master of the older generation, if he goes after and kills a junior, he is a little unprincipled. It was very easy to anger the Huangquan Demon Venerable, and he asked himself that he was definitely not the opponent of the old demon now, and the righteous path did not want to completely break with the Demon Sect now.
But he couldn't find anyone who could do it for him, and the Xuanjie Daoist, who had the highest cultivation under the Fujun, and the Qingxuan Daoist who was the strongest were all killed at the hands of this person.
The Daoist Master of Tanglin really couldn't think of anyone else below the Jindan Immortal who could compete with him. It wasn't until Zhang Qian took the initiative to take on this dangerous responsibility that all the irritability in his heart was dispelled.
"It's enough for me to deal with him alone, I just hope that the Dao Master can provide me with some usable information. Especially the movements of the bull-headed ghost general, as well as the distribution of the righteous path forces in Shuzhou, and the blockade arrangement, I think Yang Jiye's trip is to explore the location of the small cave in Qingcheng, as long as I know this, I don't think it is difficult to find out his whereabouts. Zhang Qian thought for a moment and then said, he had already heard his scruples from the tone of the Donglin Dao Master, and he was thinking about whether he could mobilize two Jindan Immortals to surround and kill Yang Jiye, which would be much simpler, but the Dao Sect didn't seem to have any plans to completely break with the Demon Sect, so this idea fell through, and he didn't bother to ask for any help.
In addition to the Jindan Immortal, the vitality is immortal, and it is not affected by the qi of Huangquan, it is difficult for ordinary monks to pose a threat to Yang Jiye, and they can't help him much, but it will make him restrain his hands and feet, and many methods are inconvenient to use.
It is better to ask for some useful information, that is, it is a great help to find Yang Jiye's whereabouts, and it has also completed the entrustment of Fairy Wangxia.
Hearing this, the Daoist of Donglin couldn't help but be pulled by Zhang Qian, and he had a slight concern in his heart, but he was not suspicious, although Zhang Qian's request for this information is the top secret of the Daomen today, once it is leaked, it will be known to those who have a heart, and the consequences will be unimaginable, but for his scattered cultivation, these secrets are not of much use, and if Yang Jiye has the purpose of finding the ruins of Qingcheng Mountain, his movements can indeed be analyzed from this information, but what makes the Daoist Daoist scruple is that Zhang Qian has a close relationship with the gods of the earth, he himself does not think that the gods of the earth have any influence on him, but from the position of the entire Daomen, this move is very inappropriate。
Especially now that Zou Tianshi is in Pengcheng, if he knows that he has leaked the top secret of the Dao Sect to a person who has a lot to do with the gods of the earth, he is afraid that he will be in big trouble.
"Now the distribution of forces and the blockade plan of the righteous path in Shuzhou can tell you. The Donglin Daoist pondered for a moment, and the heart of killing Yang Jiye still prevailed, but the movement of the bull-headed ghost general was not mentioned, but he also knew in his heart that this was the key to finding Yang Jiye, if he wanted to find the ruins of Qingcheng Mountain, he would inevitably follow the bull-headed ghost general, as for the distribution of forces and the blockade plan, it was only to rule out where Yang Jiye would not go, even if the scope was narrowed down, but for the vast Shuzhou, it was still a needle in a haystack, he couldn't help frowning, and then asked: "What is the relationship between you and Emperor Dongyue?"
Zhang Qian's breathing suddenly paused for a moment, and the worry finally came.
"What can I have to do with him, he once had a kindness to my master Qiye Daoren, and I owe him some favors from Qiye Guan, and I promised to do one thing for him, which is to re-ascend the throne for the water god of the Minjiang River. Zhang Qian didn't want to think about it, he told the words that he had prepared a long time ago, tried his best to get rid of the relationship with him, and then continued: "Now this favor has finally been paid off, and it is relaxed, it is really not a good thing to be remembered by such a big person, if he relies on the favor that I owe him to do something to kill his head, do you say that with his identity, can I refuse? ”
Zhang Qian now looks like a gambler who owes a huge amount of gambling money. In his mouth, Emperor Dongyue was described as a casino owner who was collecting debts.
The Daoist of Tanglin didn't suspect it much, the main Zhang Qian's current appearance did not have any flaws that a liar should have.
However, he didn't think that the Dongyue Emperor was as simple as he said in his mouth, in that edict, the Dongyue Emperor was extremely protective of him, if it was just the Qiye Daoist who owed him a favor, and this favor now needs to be repaid by the Taishang Daoist, he has absolutely no need to come forward to defend him, obviously this Dongyue Emperor has a lot of friendship with the Qiye Dao people, and it seems that there are also hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the scattered cultivation. It's a pity that the Taishang Taoist doesn't seem to know about it, and the Dongyue Emperor asked him to help the Minjiang Water God regain the throne, according to him, it is to give him a great benefit, but the Taishang Taoist seems to regard this as a chore, and he didn't understand the meaning of the other party.
After a big fight in the Minjiang River, except for the corpse, he didn't get any benefits, and he really handed over such a large area of water to a new water god with no qualifications.
The Daoist of Tanglin combined the information he had learned with Zhang Qian's attitude now. If you have an inference in your heart, you will be at ease.
It doesn't matter what kind of attitude Emperor Dongyue has towards the Taishang Daoist, what matters is Zhang Qian's attitude towards Emperor Dongyue, it seems now. He shouldn't have leaked these secrets to the Earth Gods, at least he still regarded himself as a member of the Dao Sect now, he nodded, affirming his thoughts. Then he said: "In the next few days, I will have people send you all the information you need, and you can cultivate with peace of mind with me." ”
"Well, wait for a few days to smooth the conditioning of the vitality. In the next place, he was ready to set off to hunt down Yang Jiye. Zhang Qian nodded.
"If Su Lingdan directly instructed the deacon Taoist, it is necessary to adjust the state to the best state, and must not give Yang Jiye a chance to take advantage of it. "The Taoist master of Tanglin is also refreshing, he did not indulge in the pain of the bereavement, turned his grief into the determination of revenge, acted unusually simply and decisively, called the deacon Taoist to arrange a place for Zhang Qian, and directly selected a set of courtyards with the highest specifications, which is the place to receive the heads and elders of various factions, and then remembered some things, that is, about Kunyangzi, he didn't care about Zhang Qian's destruction of his arrangement, anyway, if there is no accident, it is a sure thing, this failure, and then re-arrange.
But now that the Daoist Master of Tanglin plans to reuse Zhang Qian, he has to consider whether his killing of Kunyangzi will have an impact on him.
"What is your relationship with Kunyangzi?" the Daoist of Tanglin stopped him and asked straight to the point.
"I had a meeting with his daughter in Puyang City, and we joined forces to kill the ghost fairy King Jing, which is also considered to be a friendship, so I only rescued him on the street today, and I didn't expect the Taoist master to hear about it. Zhang Qian looked casual and ordinary, and the Taoist master of Tanglin also heard some information from his tone, if Zhang Qian had a deep friendship with Kunyangzi's daughter, or had other ideas, he would definitely not be so indifferent, and he should be a little annoyed and angry when he mentioned this matter, and he felt a lot more at ease, and then he didn't care about anything, and said directly: "It's not a secret, this Kunyangzi is crazy now, regardless of the overall situation, he has become a scourge of the Daomen, and has been included in the cleanup list." ”
"Oh, why is that?" Zhang Qian looked surprised, but there was no hostility, as if Kunyangzi's life or death had nothing to do with him.
"Now the blessed land of Pingdu Mountain is occupied by the land of Xudu, the spirit vein of Dongtian is in danger, but the Kunyangzi vein has declined, unable to recover, my Yangshan Xiaodongtian intends to regain the lost land for him, but he is obstructed by his arrogant and unreasonable, my Yangshan Xiaodongtian is not greedy for this dojo, but for the sake of the overall situation, if the Emperor of Xudu unscrupulously absorbs the vitality of the Yang Realm, it will only become more and more powerful, if the cultivation of the Yuan Shen is out of the ghost path, it will be a big scourge for the entire Daomen, and now the top priority is to strangle him in his growth, but this Kunyangzi completely disregards the overall situation, so he can only sacrifice him, Zou Tianshi has acquiesced to this matter。 ”
Zhang Qian frowned slightly, and he also looked reasonable, and said: "I see, some of the practices of Kunyangzi's predecessors are indeed unreasonable, and when I talked to him today, I also found that he was not quite normal. ”
Kunyangzi was very pleased with his understanding and nodded.
"But I'm afraid that there is something wrong with hurting his life, if the cultivators in the world know, I'm afraid that I will be chilled by this, in the end, the predecessor of Kunyangzi fell into this step of the field for the benefit and safety of the entire Daomen, and this matter is also extremely damaging to the reputation of my Yangshan Xiaodongtian. In my opinion, the Taoist master should ignore his opinion, and he must have ended up where he is now. Nor is there much power that can stop us from doing so. Zhang Qian suggested that although he was interceding for Kunyangzi, he always stood on the position of Yangshan Xiaodongtian, and did not disgust the Daoist of Tanglin, but some things were not as simple as Zhang Qian said, and he felt quite anxious about intercession.
"You don't know much about the situation, although this Pingdu Mountain blessed land was occupied by a group of ghosts and immortals led by the Emperor Xudu, it was attacked from the inside, and the ghost city of Pingdu Mountain is located directly below the Pingdu Mountain blessed land. Therefore, the mountain gate ban 'Vientiane Spirit Rune Great Array' has not been affected in any way during the battle, and it is still well preserved and still running, if this Kunyangzi does not hand over the control of the 'Vientiane Spirit Rune Great Array', we will have to spend a lot of manpower to break this big array, and at the same time, we must also guard against the Emperor Xudu and a group of ghosts and immortals taking the opportunity to make trouble, in this way, if we want to subdue the blessed land of Pingdu Mountain, this is simply an incompleteable task at first sight. The Daoist of Tanglin frowned slightly.
"I don't know if the Lord can give me a day. I'm going to persuade Kunyangzi's seniors to hand over the control of the 'Vientiane Spirit Rune Great Array'?" Zhang Qian arched his hand slightly, and there was a request in his tone.
"This Taishang Taoist is a person who values love and righteousness. The Daoist of Tanglin sighed, also took half a step back, and said, "Then I will give you a day." But this old guy Kunyangzi is crazy, like the stones in the pit, smelly and hard, you may not be able to convince him. ”
"I'm just doing what I can. If this Kunyangzi doesn't know the current affairs, he can only blame his life for being like this, and when the time comes, he will meet with Biyou Daoren. I will not feel guilty. Zhang Qian said nonchalantly.
Donglin Daoist waved his hand, he will deal with this matter today and tomorrow, of course, he doesn't have much hope, this old guy is not even afraid of death, dare to point at Zou Tianshi and scold, will he be persuaded to listen.
Zhang Qian familiarized himself with the residence with the deacon and Taoist, stayed in the courtyard for a while, and then ordered people to prepare carriages and horses and go to the Yangui Inn.
When the car left the mansion and passed through a secluded alley, the coachman suddenly grabbed the reins, the carriage stopped, Zhang Qian looked through the car curtain, but saw a cramped and restless middle-aged man standing in the quiet alley, his face was haggard as if he hadn't slept for a few days and nights. Full of wrinkles, he looks unusually old, his hair is also messy, he looks unusually embarrassed, although the whole person is sloppy, but the robe on his body is quite exquisite, although it is wrinkled, but Zhang Qian's eyesight is amazing, he can naturally see that the robe on his body is a high-level spiritual treasure.
It's just that it has lost its vitality and nourishment, and now it has no brilliance.
What surprised Zhang Qian the most was that this person was not a cultivator, but the body of a god, and his flesh and blood were all transformed by incense faith.
"Is the Seven Leaves Guanguan Lord Taishang Taoist in the car?" The haggard fat man was very restrained and a little nervous, and he clasped his fists and saluted Zhang behind the curtain.
"It's really good to pick the time!" Zhang Qian secretly said in his heart that it was not good, it was not surprising that someone would find him, and it was impossible for him to hide the matter of his coming to Pengcheng.
Now Pengcheng is the Taoist gate, When the battle between the forces of the earth was hot, the city god of Pengcheng was moved out of the city god temple, the dragon vein in the city fell into the control of the Daomen, and the spirit of the earth had fallen into the upper hand, and it was impossible not to ask for his own help, and the many favors given by the emperor of Dongyue were now the time to ask for returns, and Zhang Qian now also wanted to get in touch with this Shinto leader, one is to understand, the other is to communicate, some plans must be assisted by him in order to buckle the most critical link, but by no means now, he has just acted in front of the Donglin Taoist Lord to clear the relationship between the two sides, and in a blink of an eye, the earth gods came to find him, or in front of the disciples of Yangshan Xiaodongtian。
"This Pengcheng is too bad at doing things. Zhang Qian frowned slightly, and simply calculated and acted this scene more realistically.
"I don't know why Lord Chenghuang stopped my Yangshan Xiaodong Tiankeqing Elder driving the car?" Before Zhang Qian could speak, the driver answered his question with a question, without any respect in his words.
The driver of this car is a deacon Taoist in the small cave of Yangshan, his status is ordinary, he is afraid that there is no hope of promotion in this life, and he only does some sundries in the door, but the fat man standing in the middle of the road is Pengcheng Chenghuang, if in the past, even the master of Donglin Dao will be treated equally, and he does not dare to hold it high, Zhang Qian feels a little bitter when he looks at it, this is too miserable, the spirit of the earth is really suppressed by the Daomen, he can't bear this deacon Taoist to continue to embarrass this miserable city god, opened his mouth to take over the conversation, and said: " It's the poor road, I don't know what Lord Chenghuang is looking for me?"
With that, he lifted the curtain and poked his head out.
Chenghuang saw the main lord appearing, and he didn't dare to spit out his bitterness, so he hurriedly talked about business: "In Xia Pengcheng Chenghuang, now he has been driven away from the temple by the Taoist gate, and the belief in incense has been broken, and there is no heaven and earth vitality available, and the god body has collapsed.
