As soon as Jiang Ru made these provocative words, the evil crowd in the cave immediately started making noises:
"That's right! Cut that Zhao Mi into pieces with a thousand knives! I heard that the internal organs of these immortal cultivators are the most nourishing to longevity, so we all divided him up!"
"I want his heart!"
"I want to use Zhao Mi's scalp to make a drumhead!"
"Don't let his teeth go to waste!"
"Hehe! I don't know if this Zhao Miao still has his virgin Yuanyang. If he still has his virginity, I won't be polite to his descendants Genbao!"
Jiang Ru felt angry when she heard this, but she still pretended to be watching a good show, shook her fan lightly, and smiled without saying a word.
Ren Wangchao on the stage couldn't laugh or cry. These guys didn't even touch the shadow of Zhao Mi. After receiving the warning message, they all ran faster than mice, but now they are bluffing in front of him.
"Everyone, after all, Zhao Mi is a court official and a monk. If you want to kill such a person, the consequences will be unpredictable!" Ren Wangchao saw the sound getting louder and louder. He quickly suppressed it and said: "Even if you want to kill, you should think about it in the long term. No.
Rushing for success."
"Master Jiyin, your foundation is not in Qingyan County, of course you can stand and talk without back pain!" There was a demon below who raised his finger and shouted.
"Exactly! Our altar and throne have been destroyed. Even if we return to our old place in the future, don't expect to be able to clean it up again in ten or eight years!"
"Not only the altar and throne, but the connections we have cultivated in the local area for many years and the temple blessings from generations have also been lost. Can you see these things, Master Yin Palace?"
Ren Wangchao's broad green face darkened. He originally wanted to get angry and rely on his ghost magic to kill a few offending people on the spot, in order to frighten the evil crowd.
But considering that these Qingyan County ghosts and demons had more interactions with Mr. Baizhang, and that he had to rely on this old man to support the scene, he had no choice but to turn around and ask: "Mr. Baizhang, what do you think?"
"I'm just thinking, now that Zhao Mi is in Quartz City, surrounded by monks and powerful soldiers, if he wants to kill him, he will openly be an enemy of the imperial court." White Zhan Gong stroked his long beard with his hand.
He glanced at the crowd of evil spirits present and then glanced at Ren Wangchao:
"But if we really do this, let alone whether it will be successful, it will not look good on Liang Guoshi's side. All kinds of ghosts and gods invaded the inhabited city on a large scale, but on the contrary, it was true that the people of Huaxu State were united, and Liang Guoshi was not good either.
Save us."
How could Ren Wangchao not understand? Back then, he was watching the battle far away from the Black Mountain. On one side was a dark wind blowing with black banners, and hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers.
The sun and the moon eclipsed each other in the battle, and the mountains shook and the earth shook.
Ever since he witnessed Liang Tao knocking the Black Mountain Ghost Commander off the top of the clouds, Ren Wangchao knew that he would never be the opponent of the Imperial Master. No matter how perfect and exquisite he deduced those ghost magic techniques, he would definitely be the best.
You can’t be an enemy of Liang Tao!
It's just that unlike Baizhang Gong, a city god who has close contact with the disciples of Chongxuan Hall, Renwangchao can't get on the stage because of his ghost origin, and the disciples of Chongxuan Hall rarely treat him with courtesy. Renwangchao can't
Make sure that after you kill Zhao Shu, you can still get the protection of Chongxuan Hall and Liang Tao.
"That's weird, isn't it just to kill a Zhao Shu? Who wants you to attack the city and clear out the stronghold?" At this time, Jiang Ru gently shook her fan, the sound was not loud, and everyone present could hear: "I was riding along the boat earlier.
When I followed Cangshui to Yanglanze, I could see that Zhao Shui was stirring up the clouds by opening the altar and performing magic, and it's not like he had been huddled in Quartz City and never left the house."
"Zhao Shu is not in Quartz City?" a demon asked.
"Who else is doing this all day long, searching for ghosts and gods?" Jiang Ru asked back, then looked at the stage: "Master Jiyin Palace is well-informed, doesn't he know nothing?"
All the eyes of the evil crowd in the audience turned to Ren Wangchao. He was speechless for a moment. In order to entertain all kinds of ghosts and evil spirits and establish good relations with them recently, he had indeed neglected to pay attention to Zhao Mi's movements, and most of his subordinates had also been recalled to the underworld.
"I immediately sent people to investigate, and there will be news soon!" Ren Wangchao had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "But no matter what, you should be cautious about killing Zhao Shu."
Ren Wangchao waved his hand to summon the soul saver, and gave a few instructions in a low voice. Jiang Ru sneered twice and said, "Master Jiyin Palace, you are so afraid of Zhao Shu. Could it be that you have seen that Chongxuan Hall has suffered a lot of damage in the past two years, so you plan to change the entrance hall?"
Bar?"
Even though the group of evil spirits present are not loyal to Chongxuan Guan, but rather serve in order to seek shelter, they have long been accustomed to colluding with Chongxuan Guan privately.
Duke Baizhang immediately said: "Master Jiyin, even if the imperial court is rectifying temples and temples in various places in the name of investigating illegal corruption, it will definitely not allow us to return to the altar and the throne afterwards. I hope you don't want to
careless!"
"Of course I know!" Ren Wangchao felt speechless. He certainly did not dare to disobey Chongxuan Hall, but he did not want to openly oppose the Huaxu Kingdom's court at this juncture.
"Whether it is the lord of a country or the master of the country, I am afraid that the people who hate the most are those who are both heads and rats." Jiang Ru was merciless: "If Lord Jiyin can do it himself in front of all the comrades,
Killing Zhao Shu is enough to prove it! According to the Green Forest in the World, the Lord of Jiyin Palace has received the certificate of surrender."
"That's right! The main purpose of Jiyin Mansion is to kill Zhao Shu with your own hands, so that we all have reason to follow you." The demons in the audience cheered.
"More than that, killing Zhao Shu is equivalent to removing a major enemy from Chongxuan Pavilion, and it can also reveal his true feelings to Master Liang!"
Listening to the words of the crowd below, Ren Wangchao remained silent. He glanced at Jiang Ru. This "Fairy Qin" provoked everyone again and again, forcing him to respond.
"Master Jiyin, this matter can indeed be done." Baizhang Gong also persuaded him: "If only Zhao Shu is killed without affecting too many people, it will be easier for Liang Guoshi to explain. And I still have some people in Qingyan County.
, wait until Zhao Shui dies and then encourage the people in various places to demand the rebuilding of the shrine, welcome back all the comrades, and cooperate with the Chongxuan Hall to make speeches in the court. In this way, the top and bottom can work together to force the king to make concessions."
"Is this really feasible?" Ren Wangchao still had suspicions: "I heard that even the governor of Chu County was locked up and imprisoned. The situation in Chongxuan Hall is not good."
Baizhang Gong shook his head and stroked his beard: "Master Jiyin Palace does not know. This is nothing more than Wu Kuijun forcibly arresting people and imprisoning them with the instruction of the king. This move is illegal and has been delayed for a long time. Chongxuan Palace is investigating, and Wu Kuijun can't
Don’t let people go.”
Ren Wangchao was silent for a long time, facing the persecution of the evil group, and then thought that he could take this opportunity to gain fame in one fell swoop, which could be regarded as a great contribution to Chongxuan Pavilion. Maybe he could really become the master of ghosts and gods!
"In that case, it is inconvenient for me to refuse anymore." Ren Wangchao made up his mind: "I am going to kill Zhao Shu, and I also ask all my colleagues to bear witness for me!"
…
A map was spread on the ground. Zhao Shu tapped the pen lightly, then raised his eyes to look at the river.
"Is this river Cangshui?" Zhao Shu asked.
"That's right!" He Dangguan raised his hand and pointed to the south: "Downstream is Yanglanze, on the other side of the river is Lizhen County, and Cangshui is the boundary between the two counties."
"I remember you were born in Lizhen County?" Zhao Shu said.
He Dangguan nodded and replied: "At that time, Huaxu State established counties for overseas Chinese to resettle the local refugees. I followed my elders and came to Lizhen County to settle down."
"How does the ghost and witchcraft style of Lizhen County compare with Qingyan County?" Zhao Shu asked.
He Dangguan thought for a while: "As far as the destroyed temples and shrines I saw along the way, I guess Qingyan County is more powerful. I heard some legends when I was a child, saying that if there is a deceased person in a certain household, there will be ghosts at night.
People carrying white lanterns come to pick up the souls of the dead."
"Soul-saver?" Zhao Shu muttered a few words. He had never heard of this name before. He felt like one of those charlatans and sorcerers.
However, since someone is willing to take the initiative to do the hard work of attracting the souls of the dead, the atmosphere of ghosts and gods in Lizhen County will naturally be lighter. I don't know who kind-hearted people are, Zhao Shu also plans to ask for advice, even if it is a good relationship.
"Marquis Zhenming, the altar has been decorated." Several monks from the Jianzhen Hall came over.
Zhao Shu turned his head and looked at a mound on the bank of the river. There were four flags and flags fluttering in the wind. He rolled up the map and put it away, and said to everyone: "Okay, you can retreat a hundred feet away."
He Dangguan took the bamboo basket from Zhao Mi and asked: "Deacon Zhao, these days you always ask us to move away when you open the altar to perform the Dharma. Are you worried that you will provoke something dirty?"
After Zhao Shu left Quartz City, he passed through various markets, towns and villages along the way. In addition to summoning his fellow villagers to announce the imperial decree to rectify obscene worship and eliminate ghosts, gods and witchcraft, he also opened altars to perform rituals and hunt down evil spirits.
The purpose of this move was to act as a bait, placing himself in an uninhabited wilderness, so that the demons from Qingyan County would come to kill him.
When Zhao Shu opened the altar and practiced the Dharma, he instigated changes in Qi, which was the easiest way to attract evil spirits and monsters, so that the other party could see his location accurately.
In this way, of course, He Dangguan and others cannot be allowed to get too close. Even if Zhao Shu knows that Liang Tao will take action, no one can guarantee what kind of accident will happen if the two sides really fight.
"No matter what comes to mind, don't say it." Zhao Shu adjusted his clothes: "If something really disturbs the altar, don't come over."
He Dangguan looked worried. He vaguely guessed something, but he could only nod in agreement and lead the other monks and soldiers away.
Zhao Shu watched the people in He Dangguan go away. He sighed softly, but his heart couldn't stop pounding.
"You're on a whim." Lingxiao said.
"Perhaps I'm afraid." Zhao Shuze said: "With my current cultivation level, I can control the Qi in my body. My blood surges inexplicably, I guess I sense the approaching crisis, but I can't grasp it clearly."
"It may also be that the Xuanzhu is rising and is about to reach Jiang Palace." Lingxiao said: "Although the way you open the altar consumes a lot of energy, it is polishing the soul and bathing the spirit every time, like building a platform with earth, layer by layer.
And up."
"Like Lu Wangji?" Zhao Shu suddenly laughed: "Maybe I should retreat into seclusion and ignore secular affairs."
"Can you let it go?" Lingxiao asked back.
Zhao Shu slowly walked up the mound, shook his head and said: "After all, I am not a cultivator who stays away from the worldly world."
Arriving in front of the altar, Zhao Shui put away his smile and his mood was naturally solemn. He held the token in his hand and struck it towards the altar. Hundreds of altar soldiers and horses appeared around him.
In these days, Zhao Shui also attracted many wandering dead souls and turned them into soldiers. Every day and night, he chanted sutras and chanted mantras, held sacrifices to gods, and continued to do homework in the morning and evening. He was not only training himself but also training his soldiers.
Bugang circled the altar three times, and some of the officials and soldiers stood up and down the altar in response to the sound of the sutras and mantras. The barrier was suddenly formed. Then Zhao Shu picked up a stack of talismans, raised his hand and threw them out, while the rest of the officials and soldiers left holding the talismans.
Search mountains and check rivers.
Suddenly, the river breeze blew across his face. It seemed gentle, but it contained a trace of filthy smell. The candlelight on the dharma table flickered, and Zhao Shui immediately understood.
"coming."
As soon as the sound came, dark clouds surged in the southern sky, like landslides and mudflows, comparable to the waves of the sea, and in a moment they covered half of the sky.
Along with the dark clouds came the biting wind, and the howling wind was mixed with the shrill screams of ghosts, causing the flags and flags in the altar to fly.
Zhao Mian used his eyesight enough to vaguely see dozens of figures standing on a flat dark cloud. The leader was a man in brocade robes and a green face. He lowered his head and looked down, his gaze coming towards him with an intimidating power.
His gaze was like a sword, and Zhao Shu felt his eyes sting slightly. Even though he was far away, he could still have such a powerful force, which showed that the person who came was far above him in cultivation.
"I am Ren Wangchao, the Lord of Jiyin Hades Palace, and the person in the altar below is Zhao Miao of Huaiying Hall?" the green-faced man asked in a loud voice.
"I'm right!" Zhao Shu raised his hand and pressed the Lingwen Shen Iron Order, trying to mobilize the yin and yang energy, and launched the thunder and arrows to test the evil. Who would have expected that at this moment, the yin and evil energy filled the world, and there was almost no room for execution.
Evil thunder.
"You didn't ask the reason, didn't judge right from wrong, didn't argue about right and wrong, and just went your own way and murdered the Immortal Qianjin?" Ren Wangchao asked again, his tone already filled with anger, and his figure suddenly rose up, projecting a tall silhouette among the dark clouds.
, like a god descending to earth.
"With three thousand labors, I'm just a rat. He claims his dignity and blackmails the people. He deserves to be killed." Zhao Shu looked around and found that the waves on the river were rolling unnaturally against the current. There were obviously evil spirits lurking under the water, and the vegetation on the shore in the distance was
The swaying and shaking of the earth and rocks must be caused by evil spirits. The number of evil spirits may be hundreds or thousands.
"I see that your qi is evil and filthy, and you must be fed on blood. I think you are a group of prostitutes worshiping ghosts and gods in Qingyan County." Zhao Shu said: "You are waiting for a crowd to come and invade the altar. Could it be that you are here to come?
Slaughtered together?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of restlessness on the shore of the water, the atmosphere of evil was rising, evil spirits were flowing across the river, lights and shadows were faintly flashing, and the evil spirits were already ready to attack.
"Unbridled!" Ren Wangchao yelled angrily, and numerous ghost shadows appeared in the dark clouds in the sky, like a wall carved with the dead figures of countless dead people in the world, which was shocking.
"Ignorant young people who have learned a few crude skills and then think they are right, like you, are the cause of disaster for the world!" Ren Wangchao spoke in a high-spirited tone, with the aura of being a man of justice for heaven: "Today I have received orders from all the people in Qingyan County.
At the request of my colleagues, I will come and take your life! But I will not defeat the weak with the crowd and let the world laugh at me."
Zhao Shu frowned and said, "If you want to come together, I won't be afraid."
"Three moves!" Ren Wangchao raised one hand slightly and said boldly and calmly: "After the three moves, if you, this junior, can save your life, Ren Wangchao will lead everyone to escape on the spot!"
Hearing this, Zhao Shui's heart beat rapidly, his blood spread like a tidal wave to his body, and Wuzang's true energy surged out from all the orifices in his body. He was so angry that he held up his token and shouted loudly:
"Ghost! Today is the day when you will be killed and destroyed!"
