The sun is rising and radiant.

The warm sun shone down from the eastern horizon and sprinkled on the earth, driving away some of the morning chill a little.

It's just that when the sunshine fell on the black stream village, it stopped abruptly.

A thick gray-white mist covered the entire mountain, and no sunlight fell into it.

In the mist, there was a faint sound of whispering and figures moving, occasionally mixed with a few wild laughs or cries.

Zhang Jiao leaned back on the stone chair, his right hand propped up his head and looked at the cave shrouded in gray mist.

I saw that in the rolling gray mist, the evil qi continued to gather, awakening the remnants of the souls who died in vain in Heijian Village one after another.

Among them, there are men and women, old and young, and their appearance is also strange, and missing arms and legs are common.

The remnants drifted through the mist, cursing loudly, trembling, or tearing at their bodies like madness......

It's really a scene of demons dancing around.

Zhang Jiao looked at the black stream village in front of him, which looked like a ghost cave, and immediately stood up, summoned these remnant souls to his side, and chanted the Sutra of Salvation in his mouth.

"Immortals are noble, and there are no measurable people. The immortal road is noble, and the ghost road is noble. The fairy road is often auspicious, and the ghost road is often self-murderous......"

After singing the sutra again, the remnant soul in front of him was still stunned in front of him, and it did not pass away as he imagined.

Seeing this, Zhang Jiao shook his head and whispered sorry.

Actually, I don't believe that anyone has a reincarnation in an afterlife. ”

After that, the gray mist shrouded in the black stream village immediately dissipated without a trace, and these remnant souls formed by obsession and resentment were suddenly exposed to the early morning sun.

In an instant, they completely dissipated between heaven and earth.

Zhang Jiao turned around and saw a pure white fur on the stone chair.

The five ghosts next to him shouted respectfully, "Master, the skin has been peeled for you." ”

Zhang Jiao walked over, touched the fur that was still a little warm, and directly summoned the thieves who had been standing on both sides, and threw the skin over.

"Prepare it for me. ”

The bandit immediately took the fur and quickly disappeared between the caves.

Zhang Jiao glanced at the five ghosts with satisfaction, and then came to the cave where the black-robed scribe was.

After a moment's scrutiny, he opened the box that was placed in the most conspicuous place and took out a golden incense stick.

The golden incense is about a cubit long and three wide, and the whole body is golden and shining, which is very extraordinary.

Zhang Jiao immediately sat cross-legged on the futon in the cave, inserted the golden incense into the incense burner in front of him, and then summoned the fire ghost, ready to see what was so wonderful about this sacrificial incense, so that the people of the Sanyang Society had to refine it with such a lot of effort.

The fire ghost puffed up his arms and immediately aimed at the incense and spewed a trace of flame.

The flames licked and burned on the incense.

One minute, two minutes......

Time passed, and the flames in the fire ghost's mouth became more and more violent.

So much so that in the end, a fierce flame burned in the black cavern, illuminating the entire cavern. And the fire ghost is even more red and bright, like a piece of burning coal.

The golden incense was in the flames, but it did not change at all, and there was no appearance that it was about to ignite.

Half an hour later, the fire was extinguished, and the fire ghost fell to the ground.

It stuck out its tongue, its face crumpled, and its slightly pointed ears continued to emit bursts of heat.

"Master, there are no small ones!!"

So saying, it began to weep aloud.

"The little one is useless, the little brother should be damned, he can't even light a stick of incense. ”

Zhang Jiao looked at the treasure-like fire ghost, stepped on it into a ball of evil qi and inhaled it into his body, then pinched the golden incense in the incense burner and said, "It's a little interesting, but it's worth two hundred points." ”

After speaking, he walked quickly to the book found in the Dingyuan meditation room and flipped through it again. It's just that no matter how you look at it, I haven't found the slightest news about this sacrificial incense.

Zhang Jiaofu put the golden incense back in the box again, turned around and walked out of the cave.

"It seems that it is inevitable that I will continue to deal with Sanyanghui, or I can't say that I have to be an undercover agent, and I don't know if I can be a handsome commander in the end. ”

"Hmm. But you still have to dye your hair first. ”

In the midst of chuckling, Heijian Village instantly quieted down.

Beiguan City, a Sanyanghui stronghold.

Zhang Jiao smiled and said hello to the Sanyang Society disciples standing guard at the door, and then asked quietly.

"Brother, are you okay during the meeting these days?"

As he spoke, he parted half of the thick noodle bag in his hand.

The doorman unceremoniously caught the thick noodle bag, looked left and right, and whispered, "There is nothing to do in the meeting, but the Yellow Hall Master has not been in a good temper in the past two days, and he has been bloodied by several brothers." ”

When Zhang Jiao heard this, he immediately hugged him, and just a few steps into the courtyard, he heard the master of the Huang Hall training people.

"Why do you consume so many rations at Nankou, in less than ten days, the food sent in the middle of the meeting is about to bottom out, how do you manage it?"

"How many times have I told you to hold on to the grain, distribute it carefully, and don't break it in the middle, and then you come and ask me for food, and I will conjure it up for you?"

"It's not once or twice like this, if you really can't do this errand, then get out of here immediately. There are capable people in the meeting who want to be on top. ”

In the scolding, Zhang Jiao quietly looked in.

I saw that in the main room in the courtyard, the master of the Yellow Hall was sitting at a table of eight immortals, blowing his beard and glaring at the middle-aged steward who was not young.

"Hall Master, I really don't complain about our old Duan! The food sent out during the meeting is really too little, and there are people coming from the south entrance, I have already reduced the rations and reduced them, but I still can't hold on. ”

"There are really too many mouths to eat. ”

The middle-aged steward was explaining to him with grievances at the moment.

"If you think I can't do it, then change someone, I'm the same old guy. ”

After speaking, he stared at the Huang Hall Master angrily.

The Yellow Hall Master immediately stared back without showing weakness.

The two were at a stalemate until Zhang Jiao walked in.

Only then did Hall Master Huang retract his gaze, he pondered for a moment, and said to the middle-aged steward, "If you will give you two more stones of miscellaneous grains, why will you give me until the end of the month." ”

The middle-aged steward was overjoyed when he heard this, but he habitually bargained in his mouth.

"Hall Master Huang, how can two stones be enough, you can give me more. We don't need too much, it's enough to come here with three stones!"

Hall Master Huang immediately pointed at his nose and scolded.

"You get out of here now, or you won't even want to get a single rice from me." ”

The middle-aged steward walked out stupidly, and the words of the Yellow Hall Master came from behind him.

"Remember, wait until the evening to pick it up, and don't let the stewards of other places see it. ”

He nodded immediately and quickly left the courtyard.

In the main house.

Hall Master Huang looked at Zhang Jiao who walked in, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Brother Zhou, I haven't seen you these days, I don't know where to go to relax?"

"Brother Huang laughed, where can the little brother go, doesn't the eldest brother know?"

Zhang Jiao smiled shyly, as if he didn't understand the metaphor of his words, touched his chest, and then took out a few ingots of silver from his arms and put them on the table.

The Yellow Hall Master immediately understood.

He quietly blinked at Zhang Jiao, glanced at a few ingots of silver on the table, and immediately turned his head and said in a low voice, "Brother Zhou, listen to my brother's advice, the law is not lightly applied, and you should not cast the spell at will in the future." ”

"The younger brother should remember the teachings of the eldest brother. ”

Zhang Jiao nodded immediately, and then pushed the silver on the table.

"I heard that the meeting has been difficult recently, and the little brother has nothing to help everyone, so I am careful and ask Brother Huang not to refuse. ”

The Huang Hall Master would not refuse, he looked at the silver in front of him, shook his head and complained bitterly.

"Brother, it's really not that the eldest brother wants your silver, it's really difficult to get in. Since the Taoist sons entered the city to give blessings, there are more and more believers in Beiguan City, and the meeting is becoming more and more stretched, and I am still worried about what to do next month. ”

After saying that, he immediately turned around and went to the back room to take out a pen and paper and write them down one by one.

"On the twenty-seventh day of the first month of the year 288 of the Great Hong Calendar, the disciple Zhou Damiao offered silver money and tithes. ”

After writing, he also let Zhang Jiao take a look, and then took out his seal and stamped it, and then put away the silver.

Zhang Jiao immediately looked at him with reverence, and praised him again and again.

"We Sanyang will have a person like the eldest brother who is dedicated to the public, why worry about the great cause?"

Hall Master Huang immediately smiled and said, "Brother praised, I just did my duty, there are countless people like me in the association, like brother, don't you also contribute, to contribute to the great cause of my Sanyang Society." One day, my Sanyang Association will definitely create a prosperous era of Sanyang. ”

Zhang Jiao immediately echoed.

The room was filled with a warm atmosphere.

In the following days, Zhang Jiao began to work in the Sanyang Club step by step.

During the day, he appeared on time at each mission point to help, and at night, he followed and observed the activities of the backbone of Beiguan City such as the Huang Tang Master.

A few days later, it really made him discover.

There is still a general in Beiguan City, and this general is still a woman, who is one of the wives of the general in Beiguan City, Mrs. Lan.

The doubts in Zhang Jiao's heart were suddenly solved a lot, no wonder the mission of the Sanyang Society in Beiguan was so smooth, this Mrs. Lan must have contributed a lot in it.

Although Mrs. Lan seems to be just a general, as the link between the Sanyang Society and the high-level officials of Beiguan City, I think she also knows a lot of insider information about the meeting.

Zhang Jiao's mind immediately moved.

He immediately turned his attention to Mrs. Lan, and just as he was about to plan the General's Mansion, the news of the burning of Ciyun Temple also came at this time.

At the same time, a secret order was handed down.

"Disciples of each guild, search for a white-haired Taoist. ”

Zhang Jiao secretly glanced at the person on the portrait, it was an ordinary Taoist painted on it, except for the person with white hair specially noted above, the character on the portrait was nothing special.

If you want to find him with this, unless he washes his hair one day.

It seems that in the soul of Lang Shuailing, who flew away that day, there is not much information about himself.

On this day, Zhang Jiao, who was helping at the venue, suddenly called out by the master of the Huang Hall.

When they came to the stronghold of the meeting, Zhang Jiao found that there were many familiar faces in the room, all of whom were disciples who joined the association that day.

Liu Hao, who had already arrived next to him, secretly winked at him and motioned to stand next to him.

Zhang Jiao immediately walked over and stood with him.

Under the sculpture of Sanyang Tianzun, the Huang Hall Master said with a straight face, "Disciples, listen to orders. ”

Everyone in the hall immediately looked at him with serious expressions.

I saw the Huang Hall Master shouting, "Where is Liu Hao?"

Liu Hao immediately stepped out and bowed respectfully.

"The disciple is here. ”

The Huang Hall Master immediately took out a talisman and handed it to him and said, "The Sanyang Decree appoints Liu Hao as the Hall Master of Fuchang City, and leads all the disciples of the hall to go to Fuchang City to preach before February 10. ”

Liu Hao, who fell to the ground, didn't seem to understand, and looked at the Huang Hall Master in front of him in a daze, until he repeated it again, then he took the talisman tremblingly, and roared with a fanatical face.

"Obey the orders of the three yangs. ”

Hall Master Huang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Hall Master Liu." ”

Liu Hao pinched himself in disbelief, and the smile on his face couldn't stop leaking.

"I also want to thank the Yellow Hall Master for his promotion. ”

The Yellow Hall Master immediately waved his hand and said to the disciples below, "Everyone, go back and clean up, you will set off tomorrow." ”

Immediately the people received the order and went out.

After many people went out, they muttered that Liu Hao had taken shit luck and became the hall master in one step.

Zhang Jiao strolled at the back, looking at Liu Hao, who had walked into the back room with Hall Master Huang, his eyes full of doubts.

"Fuchang City? Isn't that the place where Lang Shuai Ling used to preach? Why did you suddenly send a group of us newcomers to preach? What is the plan of the Sanyang Society, is it that my identity has been exposed?"

Zhang Jiao was puzzled.

On the second day, outside the city of Beiguan.

After saying goodbye to the Huang Hall Master and others who came to see them off, Liu Hao and his entourage immediately rushed to Fuchang.

Liu Hao took the lead and walked in the front with high spirits.

A few clever disciples had already begun to flatter him before and after the saddle.

Half a day later, after walking for more than ten miles, someone in the crowd immediately said, "Hall Master Liu, we've been walking for so long, let's rest for a while!"

Liu Hao looked up at the sky and said to them, "It's still early, let's catch up with the furnace for a while, and wait to rest." ”

Someone next to him immediately chimed in and said, "Yes, it's still early, let's catch up for a while." ”

"That's it, you can't hold on to this little road, you better go back to Beiguan as soon as possible. ”

In the midst of the crowd's discussion, the person who proposed it immediately stopped saying a word and silently followed everyone on.

The sun is high, and the sun in spring is also hot and dry.

The few guys who seconded the proposal before also secretly regretted it in their hearts, and they knew that they wouldn't be in a hurry to pat his ass.

Voices began to sound in the crowd.

"Hall Master Liu, rest for a while. ”

"yes, let's take a break. ”

Liu Hao wiped his sweat and listened to everyone's shouts, then reluctantly said, "That's okay." Let's take a break. ”

The crowd immediately dispersed and found a shady place to rest.

Among the scattered crowds, the first guy who proposed to rest immediately hid in a place where the human eye could not see, and happily released the water.

"Phew, villain's will. I just became the hall master, so I was in a hurry to give us a horse, what are you doing in such a hurry, didn't the hall master Huang say, just arrive on the 10th. ”

He cursed quietly as he pinched his brother and lifted it high so that it could spread farther.

At this moment, an arm suddenly slapped on his shoulder, and a hoarse and dry voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Young man, what are you doing here?"

He immediately struck a stir, and the water that had been put in half of it immediately shrank back.
