"Cai Boying, a humble employee, pays homage to Shangguan!"
The magistrate of Lianshan County is surprisingly young, looking fair and fair, probably in his early twenties.
As soon as Yang Gongjing walked in the door, her face turned dark. She showed no mercy at all and started scolding her whenever she opened her mouth.
"You read the books of sages in vain. How can you believe in the evil ways of the world? You don't know that you are silent and have strange power to confuse the gods..."
Yang Gongjing sat on the chair of the county magistrate and began to scold him sternly. Despite his age, he was very timid and looked very tired from driving all night, but when it came to swearing, he was very energetic.
Yang Gongjing was an official of the sixth rank in the current dynasty, and even a capital official. However, for a small county magistrate, he was only a minor official of the seventh rank. Yang Gongjing's scoldings could be unpleasant.
The young county magistrate below was also confused by the scolding. He stared blankly at Yang Gongjing, scolding him from the beginning to the end, from his ancestors to his descendants. He even had to dig up his family's graves and dig out their ancestors before scolding them again.
G.
There are only three questions in my mind: who am I, where am I, and why don't I hack him to death?
The government officials standing aside were dumbfounded as they looked at the young man's hands tightly clenched into fists, and suddenly felt a cold sweat in their hearts.
I was afraid that the hall master wouldn't be able to bear it anymore, so he just drew his sword and chopped off the old guy.
Xu Tong stood silently next to Yang Gongjing, gloating about the county magistrate standing below with a dull face, and secretly snickering in his heart.
Yang Gongjing cursed for almost an hour before she finally vented all her sullenness. She took the cup and took a sip of tea: "Tell me what's going on in Lianshan Temple."
Maybe it was because he was scolded that he was a little stupid, but Cai Boying was still in a daze and was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Seeing Yang Gongjing glare, she hurriedly said: "Master Qi, every night in Lianshan Temple today, ghosts cry and wolves howl, and nearby villagers have seen the scene of Yin soldiers clearing the way more than once, and they all say it is... it is..."
"What is it! Tell me quickly."
"It's the reincarnation of the Third Prince Zhu, who has returned with the Ming Dynasty's Forbidden Army."
Cai Boying said in a low voice.
"That's nonsense. Prince Zhu San was wiped out as early as Emperor Xi's reign. The remnants of the White Lotus Sect fled to death. How could a Holy Son of White Lotus appear? Can you send someone in to investigate?"
Yang Gongjing put down the teacup in her hand, feeling more and more displeased with this pretty face.
But I also know in my heart that there are so many county magistrates in the world, and most of them are just people. A small, remote county is bigger than a sesame seed in the territory of Datong. Most of the magistrates in such a place are
It's a fool's dream to expect him to accomplish anything even if God opens his eyes if he doesn't bring harm to the countryside if he buys it with money.
Fortunately, Cai Boying also noticed Yang Gongjing's dissatisfied eyes and said quickly, "We went in to check, and three waves of people came in."
"Oh, what's the result?"
Yang Gongjing raised her head and asked.
"They're all dead!"
Hearing this, Yang Gongjing slapped the table: "Idiot! You are such a huge idiot. What do you do if the imperial court raises you to prepare food, hot water and a room? If you still can't handle this, get out of here."
The corners of Cai Boying's mouth twitched a few times, and she resisted the urge to pull out the machete and chop the old guy, and walked out of the door with a dark face.
After sending Cai Boying away, Yang Gongjing called Xu Tong and the others to her side and lowered her voice: "Be careful, something is wrong here."
Everyone: "..."
There's something wrong with this place, they can tell it as long as they're not blind.
Even the Zhu brothers have noticed something, not to mention Xu Mao and Monk Huiyuan, so you need to remind them.
Fortunately, Mr. Yang Gongjing was not a loser, so she took out a few charms and distributed them to Xu Tong and the others. Xu Tong threw them into the prop book and took a look. Unexpectedly, they were still good things.
【Taishan Prayer Star Talisman】(1/1)
When the wearer encounters an attack with evil attributes, the shield will be automatically activated to neutralize the enemy's attack.
Obviously this is a one-time prop, but the effect doesn't seem to be bad.
Yang Gongjing arranged for everyone to take turns to rest, and went to Lianshan Temple early tomorrow morning to find out what was going on, and then let everyone disperse.
On the other side of the kitchen, several loud slaps were heard.
Cai Boying, no, it should be said to be Zinbai, the patron of Bailian Church. His handsome face, but all the facial features were twisted into a ball at this time.
"This old man, I will chop off his head sooner or later to make a chamber pot. What bad idea did you come up with that made me scolded so badly by this old man?"
In front of Gu Zhenbai was an old man who couldn't hold his head up after being scolded. After he finished scolding, he whispered: "Master, the overall situation is more important. The chief helmsman has already calculated that when the Holy Son comes to the world, there will be disaster.
Right now, the Holy Son is trapped in Lianshan Temple, and we can't get in. How can we welcome the Holy Son back if we don't use the power of Qin Tianjian."
Hearing what the old man said, Gu Zinbai's face was full of anger, but he had no choice but to do anything. After saying that, he suddenly saw a few mice crawling in the corner. A cold look appeared in Gu Zinbai's eyes. With a flick of his finger, a silver needle hit one of them.
A rat was nailed to the wall, and he gritted his teeth and said, "That's all! Let the old man be spared for a while. When the Holy Son is welcomed back, the old man will be cut into pieces."
At night, after everyone had eaten, they went to rest in the backyard room.
Come to think of it, Yang Gongjing also knew in her heart that no one in this group was a fuel-efficient person, and each of them disliked the other, so she simply let them sleep separately.
Li Xi and Xu Tong shared a room, right next to Yang Gongjing's bedroom. In order to ensure that nothing happened, Xu Tong asked Ji Xiang to control all the rats around him and become his spies to ensure that if there was any trouble, he would be the first to do so.
Time knows.
After Xu Tong saved Li Xi's life, Li Xi was no longer wary of Xu Tong and sat in the room chatting with Xu Tong.
He didn't say where he was from, he just said that he was hunted by his enemies and had to hide in the forbidden palace.
Xu Tong didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he shook his head and said regretfully, saying that if you had known me earlier, you might not have to enter the palace. I will arrange a job for you, which is not as comfortable as being a eunuch.
The corner of Li Xi's mouth twitched a few times, but he just thought it was Xu Tong's casual remark, and he was thinking in his heart, how could there be so many things in the world? If I had known, I would not have betrayed Maoshan on impulse.
Xu Tong pretended to be casual, but he stared at the subtle changes in Li Xi's face and snickered in his heart.
As soon as the conversation changed, he asked Li Xi if he knew those five pigs.
"Oh!" Li Xi's eyes dimmed when he mentioned this, and he nodded without denying: "They were among the people who were chasing me back then, but I was clever enough to avoid it, otherwise I would have been beheaded by them long ago.
"
After speaking, he lowered his voice, pulled Xu Tong and said: "Brother Ma, my brother wants revenge, can you help me."
Xu Tong immediately patted his chest: "Of course, I will definitely help you with this matter."
With Xu Tong's guarantee, Li Xi felt more at ease. He kept on going even though he was injured, and fell asleep after saying a few words.
Xu Tong was lying on another bed. As soon as he lay down, a cold wind blew over. It was Ji Xiang who came back to the entrance of the hall. He lay on the entrance and said to Xu Tong: "Another group of people are coming outside!"
"Boom, boom, boom..."
A banging on the door woke everyone up.
The yamen officer opened the door and cursed with a dark face: "You blind thing, I'm going to die for your father in the middle of the night!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a rapid sound of "Pah!" and a slap on the Yamen servant's face, sending the Yamen servant flying away.
The door was pushed open, and a group of guards wearing black cloaks and holding swords rushed in.
Yang Gongjing and Gu Zhenbai hurriedly led people out.
I saw a woman walking up to the two of them, taking off a sign from her waist and throwing it to Yang Gongjing: "I have received an edict from Holy Son Bailian, who only said that it is a monstrous talk to confuse the public. We have been specially sent here to arrest Holy Son Bailian."
, you will assist in handling the case."
Gu Zhenbai held the sign and looked at it for a long time without understanding anything. Yang Gongjing kicked him with a look of disgust and took the sign over. Then when he looked at the light, his expression suddenly changed.
He hurriedly greeted him and knelt down and shouted: "I accept the decree and thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor. Long live the emperor."
Now let alone Xu Tong who was confused, Gu Zinbai and the others also became confused. Why did two waves of people come?
But when Xu Tong looked up, his expression suddenly became strange.
I saw the woman leading the group, wasn't she from the Red Lantern Cult who burned down the church and massacred the foreigners last time?
Although the woman's large cloak covered half of her face, Xu Tong recognized her at a glance with the help of his Mingyan Qimen.
Good guy, the Red Lantern Sect, the White Lotus Sect, the Qintian Prison, and if Li Xi and a bunch of strangers are added to this, it will be so lively that it will turn into a pot of porridge.
Gu Zhenbai came forward with a grin and was about to speak when he heard a man's voice from behind asking: "You are the county magistrate. Who asked you to hang up white lanterns in every house? You are so weird and crazy!!"
Gu Zinbai was startled, why did these words sound so familiar? He looked up and asked, "Who are you?"
I saw a young man dressed as a scholar walking out from behind the woman, with a pair of glasses on his face: "I am a new student, Zhao Xusen, and I am here to expose the deceptions of you ghosts and snake gods."
The woman stood behind the man and introduced: "This is a new student specially sent from above to help you."
Just as Gu Zinbai was about to step forward and say a few words of courtesy, he saw Zhao Xusen's face darken: "It's untrue that you are the esteemed person of the county, but you would believe such exaggerated lies and ignore the people's livelihood. You were born to be a son of man, but you are in vain to be a minister. I'm sorry."
Your Majesty's favor, I have failed the country, and I have failed the people..."
Gu Zhenbai was dumbfounded and looked sideways at the old man in the corner. He saw the old man pursed his lips and shook his head, silently taking out an orange from his sleeve and holding it in his hand.
Hall Master, the overall situation is of paramount importance!
In terms of scolding skills, Zhao Xusen was not much worse than Yang Gongjing. He scolded Gu Zinbai until his face was blue at the end, and everyone was numb from the scolding. Only then did Zhao Xusen let out a long sigh and said:
He looked like he had vented all his anger.
It was still the familiar process of lighting a fire and cooking, but the county government office was so big, and they didn't have any extra rooms. Gu Zinbai and others could only vacate the houses they lived in, and then squeezed into the woodshed with a look of aggrievement, making do with each other.
one night.
This was destined to be a tragic night for Gu Zinbai and others, but it was also destined to be a sleepless night.
Li Xi slipped out in the middle of the night. According to the mouse surveillance sent by Jixiang, this guy seemed to have gone out to report a message to someone.
In addition, the Red Lantern Sect's group was not honest at all. They set out separately and went from house to house, replacing the white lanterns with red lanterns. I don't know if they had any obsession with colors.
Even the five pigs stayed awake in the middle of the night and took aim at the horses in the backyard. They even stole two horses and roasted them.
All in all, it was a wild night.
Seeing that he couldn't sleep anymore, Xu Tong simply lit a stick of yellow incense, narrowed his eyes, and escaped into the entrance of his hall.
When he came to his own treasure furnace, under the enthusiastic and expectant eyes of Da Ya and the other three, he took out the inner elixir of evil and threw it tentatively into the furnace.
I saw the inner alchemy approaching the stove, and it immediately turned into a cloud of smoke and was sucked into the stove.
"There's a show!"
The four Xu Tongs' eyes were shining, and they began to look forward to it.
Soon the stove began to glow red, and an indescribable smell filled the air. After one whiff, I felt itchy all over.
They were so frightened that they hid outside the hall and waited for about ten minutes.
There was a "bang!" sound in the stove.
Xu Tong and the other four immediately rushed in and carefully opened the secret compartment under the stove. A dark blue pill appeared in the secret compartment.
The elixir was glowing with a metallic purple light, colorless and odorless. As soon as he got the elixir, Xu Tong immediately felt a strong hunger for it.
It was as if this thing was not a pill, but a bunch of freshly baked mutton skewers, exuding a fragrance that he couldn't resist.
This feeling... made Xu Tong's mind move. He resisted the urge to swallow the elixir, took it out and threw it into the prop book, and got the information about it.
【Wuxindan】
Use the human heart as a furnace, use flesh and blood as the forging material, use resentment as the medicine, and the elixir will become a black heart. Those who eat it have no heart.
Those who eat it can increase their own dark attribute power, such as curse power, demon power, magic power, etc. If it is not dark attribute power, eating it will deduct their own strength.
After reading the introduction of the elixir, Xu Tong sighed inwardly. Judging from the introduction, the monster Sang Wei was probably deliberately created by someone with a heart.
I'm not sure which evil sect used this method to refine this evil elixir.
After all, in today's world where people are in dire straits, all kinds of demons and evil ways are trying to come out and jump around.
Xu Tong did not choose to share this elixir with Daya and the others, because this thing was obviously something that the dark constitution desperately needed, otherwise his body would not have such a strong hunger to urge him to eat it.
I discussed it with Daya and the others and said that I would compensate them from other places.
Although the three of them are very greedy, they have no objections to this. After all, Xu Tong is the leader, and as the leader, the stronger the better.
In this case, Xu Tong was not polite and swallowed the elixir in one gulp. The elixir was surprisingly bitter in his mouth, as if he had eaten a coptis.
There was also a turmoil in the stomach. Although this elixir had the ability to increase strength, it obviously required a digestion process.
But Xu Tong couldn't wait that long and directly activated the Heart of the Abyss.
With the activation of the Heart of the Abyss, a black mist surged out of Xu Tong's body and instantly swallowed the elixir in his stomach directly.
At the same time, Xu Tong's eyes suddenly darkened, and a bottomless abyss appeared in the pupils of his eyes. At the same time, a sneaky whisper sounded in his ears...
