The night was gloomy, and the dim lights barely illuminated the figures of dozens of religious monks rising and falling on the roof. Hundreds of government sergeants on the ground, each holding weapons and torches, rushed towards the abandoned house in the north of the city. Deng Feibao couldn't help but feel
Get nervous.
Following the instructions of the leader, Deng Feibao killed the catfish monster, and in addition to asking for credit from the county magistrate, he posted a notice announcing that the monster was lurking in the city, and encouraged the people to identify and report it. Within a few days, he learned that strange people occasionally came and went in an abandoned house in the north of the city.
, there are lights on at night.
In normal times, this kind of thing would be treated as after-dinner talk by the people in the city, or it might attract local gangsters to climb over the wall and steal. However, after the three guardians of the Rising Sun Sect arrived, they sensed an energy in the abandoned house.
The subtle and unpredictable weather is unusual.
Deng Feibao was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he did not immediately let the three guardians rush in. Instead, he discussed privately with the magistrate of Wenlu County and asked him to mobilize local government sergeants, hoping to regain the Qian Ji Spirit Moment in one fell swoop.
Although Deng Feibao is now in charge of Qianji Pavilion, he does not have a clear subordinate relationship with the local officials. If he does not kill the fish demon in order to gain trust and claim credit, Wenlu County Magistrate may not agree.
Moreover, he falsely reported that there was an evil spirit lurking in the city, and the Wenlu County Magistrate reported to the court in a serious manner, hoping to invite experts from the Xian family to come and eliminate the evil spirit.
This forced Deng Feibao to send people to secretly kill the postmen delivering the memorial, and at the same time reminded Magistrate Wenlu that they, Qianji Pavilion, enshrined a group of monks. If they could solve the evil and disaster on the spot, it would also be a credit to the court.
The magistrate of Wenlu County was dubious, but when he saw that Deng Feibao had indeed recruited a group of monks, he could only temporarily adapt. After all, there were frequent disasters in various parts of the Xiong Kingdom, and the Si River flowing through Fuyang County had just flooded, so the court was in a hurry.
Can mobilize manpower.
However, Deng Feibao knew very well that if we really look into this approach now, there are actually many flaws. As long as the Wenlu County Magistrate was more vigilant, he would have no way to intervene, let alone deal with the evil spirits in the city.
"Master Deng, when the war breaks out later, can we force the monsters out of the county?" Magistrate Wenlu asked: "Xiaguan also saw monsters causing trouble in the town in his early years. At that time, although there were experts from the Xian family who took action to eliminate the monsters,
, but it has also affected a large area of ​​residential buildings. If possible, please ask Master Deng to try his best to prevent this from happening."
"I will do my best." Deng Feibao bowed his hands and then rushed to the north of the city with his men.
Didn't Deng Feibao not know that if he really wanted to make a big deal out of the matter, the Xiong court would investigate it carefully, and it would be difficult to cover up the loss of Qianji Lingju.
Even if it can be refuted that Tao Heling is an enemy spy, he will inevitably be questioned, not to mention delaying the leader's plan.
After taking out the Hub Yuandan, Deng Feibao has not sensed the direction of Qianji Spiritual Moment in the past few days. According to the leader, the master behind the scenes may be healing the Taiyi disciple who is under the spell and has no time to arrange the plan.
.
Once again activating his magic power, Deng Feibao was excited for a while, and the direction of the Qian Ji Spiritual Moment came to mind with incomparable accuracy. But what followed was an indifferent look, as if looking from afar, which shocked his mind and made Deng Feibao suffocate for a moment.
"Is Divine Envoy Deng okay?" A beautiful female crown next to her asked in a low voice. She held her fly whisk at an angle. She looked like she was from a famous family, but in fact she was the Weiyang Order among the twelve earthly branches of the Rising Sun Sect.
"That man has noticed our actions." Divine Envoy Deng wiped his cold sweat: "He is in the abandoned house in the north of the city. It seems that he is waiting for me to come to the door."
Weiyang Ling asked curiously: "Oh? Could it be that the master who was mentioned by Divine Envoy Deng a few days ago and summoned the officials to rescue the Taiyi disciples?"
"Not bad!" Deng Feibao looked at the eaves and wall tiles of the abandoned house in the distance. At this moment, there were government sergeants standing outside the yard, all equipped with soldiers and armor, and there were religious monks on high ground on guard. Everyone's eyes were focused on this abandoned house.
The atmosphere around was suffocating. It was clear that the house was completely silent and no one showed up, but no one outside dared to make a loud noise. The fanfare of hunting down evil spirits was completely gone at this moment.
"There is no need to panic, Divine Envoy Deng." Although Weiyang Ling had some premonitions, he was not frightened: "The summoning of divine soldiers and generals is not a unique method inherited by any one family. We, the twelve earthly branch commanders, are
To protect the Dharma in teaching, in addition to our own cultivation, we also have the ability to summon generals and officials to impeach ghosts and gods."
"I have heard about it a long time ago, and I asked Weiyang Ling to use his wonderful method." Divine envoy Deng remembered that the twelve earthly branch orders of the Rising Sun Sect also followed the old system of the Tianxia Dynasty.
Legend has it that in the past, when the Tianxia imperial court was on a campaign against its enemies, the generals who went out on the expedition received twelve earthly branch orders from the emperor. If evil spirits and ghosts came to invade the country, they could mobilize the troops and horses of the mountains, rivers, villages, and communes of the city to destroy the evil spirits.
Weiyang Ling smiled faintly and took out a small iron sheep with a flip of his palm. The surface was engraved with gold and covered with ancient seal scripts that were difficult to identify.
Weiyang Ling recited a mantra softly, and suddenly a cold wind blew up, causing the branches and leaves of the trees to sway unsteadily. Although Deng Feibao could not see any ghosts or gods with his naked eyes, he could sense that many ghosts and ghosts were summoned, which made people's hair stand on end.
At the same time, Chou Niu Ling and Wu Ma Ling, who were on the other side of the house, each led their subordinates to perform spells, set up barriers, and blocked the earth's veins to prevent people in the house from escaping.
"How? Does Deng Shenshi want us to take action now?" Wei Yangling asked, flicking his fly whisk.
Deng Feibao nodded slightly, now there is no room for delay, he must win the battle, otherwise there will be endless trouble!
"Go!" Weiyang Ling shouted, and the ghosts and ghosts invisible to the naked eye swarmed toward the abandoned house like a tide, just like Yin soldiers passing through.
"well."
However, the Yin soldiers seemed to be hindered by something, and they were patrolling outside the courtyard wall. A sigh came from inside, and only those who had reached a certain level of cultivation could hear it.
"You can save your life if you leave here." The people in the courtyard said.
Deng Feibao was silent after hearing this, and Weiyang Ling reminded him: "Deng Divine Envoy, don't fall into the enemy's delaying tactics. We will swarm forward and eliminate all obstacles!"
"Up!" Deng Feibao no longer had any doubts. With a gesture, Chou Niu Ling and Wu Ma Ling each led their elite followers, lifted themselves up, and flew over the courtyard wall.
At the same time, the county government officers and sergeants also broke open the fragile and decaying courtyard door and filed in.
But before Deng Feibao could step forward, he heard a dull sound, the ground shook slightly, and countless vines burst out of the ground in an instant, binding his hands and feet and breaking weapons.
The vines grew astonishingly, becoming extremely strong in an instant like a rubber ball. In a few breaths, the inside and outside of the abandoned house turned into a dense forest. Hundreds of government sergeants were wrapped in the vines and unable to move, and they kept calling for help.
However, he was lucky to be able to call for help at this moment. Those religious monks who rushed into the house first were mostly directly penetrated by the vines, their bodies were hung in the air, and they died on the spot.
Deng Feibao was shocked beyond words when he saw this situation. He only heard a few shouts and fighting, and two figures hurriedly flew out of the abandoned house and came to Deng Feibao's side. It was the two guardians Chou Niu Ling and Wu Ma Ling.
Among them, Chou Niu Ling's left arm was twisted into a twist and dripping with blood, while Wu Ma Ling's clothes were cut to pieces with countless sharp weapons, and he was in a miserable state.
"You two! What's going on?!" Deng Feibao asked quickly.
"Tsk, we hit something hard!" The strong Chou Niu Ling gritted his teeth, and his left arm, which had been twisted to the point of broken muscles and bones, slowly straightened itself out, and his blood energy surged, causing the injury to heal quickly.
"He is a master. The wooden stick he holds can turn into a jade tree. He can easily block all our attacks and can counterattack with ease." Wu Ma Ling said in a deep voice.
"Well, I'm quite capable."
At this moment, Zhao Mi was seen walking slowly along a thick vine and standing on a high place. When he appeared in front of people, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to dissipate, and the cold moonlight in the sky shone all over him, as if he was wearing a snow-white feather coat, floating in the sky.
If you want to fly, you are not like a mortal.
"You guys are not from the same cultivation base." Zhao Shu glanced at Deng Feibao and the three guardians. With his current cultivation eyesight, he could see through the cultivation power of these four people, except for the strong and powerful ugly cow.
Even though the other three people have solid foundations, even if they condense the Xuanzhu, their Qi is not pure, and is a bit mixed.
"The qi of Xuanzhu is impure. Is this because the turbid qi fills the world?" Zhao Shu secretly asked Lingxiao.
"Yes, not entirely." Lingxiao said: "To condense the Xuanzhu, you not only need to pure and condense the true energy, but also need to have a calm mind and be able to understand the power of heaven and earth. When you condensed the Xuanzhu, you witnessed it with your own eyes.
Tiegong ascends, the pure energy surges, and mysteries abound. This kind of celestial fate is extremely rare and cannot be understood by others."
Looking back now, Zhao Shui has to admit that in the process of cultivating immortality, in addition to his own hard work, guidance from his elders, and external assistance, chance and luck are also extremely important. Some experiences and encounters are almost impossible to repeat, and others cannot learn them even if they want to.
Lingxiao continued: "In today's world, the congestion of turbid qi not only prevents monks from exhaling clean qi, but also makes people's hearts restless."
"Is it similar to the internal disturbance illusion when Xuanzhu rises from Niwan?" Zhao Shu asked.
"It's easy to understand. It seems that you have a glimpse of the path to immortality." Lingxiao said: "The world is full of turbidity. Not only are disasters increasing day by day, demons and ghosts are rampant, but it will also disturb people's hearts. It's like being in a filthy environment, surrounded by
Snakes, insects, rats and ants are everywhere. If you force yourself to think deeply at this time, you will also have all kinds of distracting thoughts due to external disturbances, and even turn into lingering chronic diseases."
"I remember you said that the turbid world will test the power of purity even more," Zhao Shu said.
"As far as I am concerned, the world today cannot be said to be truly turbid." Lingxiao said: "Such people with impure Xuanzhu Qi have appeared in the past. Or perhaps they have taken some external elixir bait.
Medicine is used to help condense the true energy. Although the Xuanzhu is completed, it lacks the work of the mind and nature, and naturally the energy mechanism is impure."
Zhao Shu nodded secretly, but he noticed that Lingxiao was talking about the past, so he asked: "Is there a time in ancient times when the turbid air was overwhelming? Shouldn't it be that the pure air was more abundant?"
"First pay attention to the battle in front of you." Lingxiao reminded.
The exchange between the two was nothing but lightning, but Deng Feibao and the others did not hesitate too much. Seeing Zhao Shu showing a flaw, the three guardians immediately took action together.
The Chou Niu Ling stepped forward, punched out both fists, blood steamed out, and the wind from the fists took on the shape of a ferocious beast, opening his mouth to devour.
Wu Ma Ling took a few steps back with his sword, his body shape changed, and he transformed into seven clones, moving quickly and surrounding Zhao Shu from all directions.
Weiyang ordered the Yin soldiers to stir up the whisks, gather into a cloud of Yin wind and tornado and fall from the sky, intending to attack the seven orifices.
"Not bad." Zhao Shu lightly praised, the jade tree staff in his hand glowed with bright blue light, and the canopy of the canopy appeared on the ground. His fists, clones, and dark winds overlapped and fell, stirring up heavy air waves and smoke. The green branches were only slightly swayed, but they could not
Zhao Shu was not harmed at all.
The air waves surged wildly, and the smoke and dust billowed. Before the three guardians could understand what was going on, Zhao Shu rushed out first, and with a gentle tap of his jade tree staff, he hit Chou Niu Ling in the chest and heart.
"There is only so much bravery, but there is not enough strength."
It seemed like a blow as light as a feather, but it contained great power. Chou Niu Ling felt that he was facing the rushing peak, and was directly blasted away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Ming kept moving, spinning his staff to generate wind, and the smoke and dust that was blown away just showed the hidden figure of Wu Ma Ling.
Wu Ma Ling's movement was so fast that he was shocked to realize that he had been discovered. He tapped his toes to escape. When he raised his head, he saw Zhao Shui's face close in front of him.
"It seems fast, but it's still a step late."
With a gentle palm press on his face, Wu Maling suddenly felt like the world was spinning. His whole body turned dozens of times, crashing like a top, and was directly embedded in the wall, making him unconscious.
Seeing the instant defeat of his two comrades, Wei Yangling exclaimed in surprise and said to Deng Feibao beside him: "Deng Divine Envoy, take action quickly!"
While asking for help, Weiyang Ling activated the exquisite iron sheep in his hand, and countless ghosts and ghosts appeared in terrifying shapes, intending to shock Zhao Shu's mind.
However, Zhao Shu seemed to be walking in the gentle breeze and drizzle, calmly and unhurriedly, his movements seemed slow, but he approached in the blink of an eye, raised his hand and clasped Wei Yangling's wrist.
"Let go!" With a loud shout, there was a hidden sound of roaring tigers, and the spirits, ghosts, evil winds and evil spirits disappeared like ice, and they were all destroyed. Weiyang Ling received the evil-control blessing from the front, and his muscles and bones immediately softened, and he fell at Zhao Shu's feet without any strength.
Grabbing the exquisite iron sheep and looking at the gold-inlaid ancient seal on the surface, Zhao Shui immediately recognized that it was the Tianxia Ghost Book. This object was from the same source as the Yinhu Order he had received back then.
"Interesting, it's really interesting." Zhao Shu couldn't help but burst into laughter. Without raising his head, his body-protecting energy naturally forced the crossbow arrows shot by Deng Feibao to miss.
"What did she just call you? Envoy Deng?" Zhao Shu kicked Wei Yangling, who was lying limply on the ground, and looked at Deng Feibao with murderous intent in his eyes: "It seems that the identity of the master of Qianji Pavilion is just a cover-up.
,Right?"
Deng Feibao's mind couldn't turn around anymore. He couldn't imagine that the three guardians of the sect attacked together and couldn't hold on for even half a quarter of an hour. They were completely defeated in one encounter, and his life or death was uncertain. The person in front of him was so powerful that he was beyond belief.
Imagine that only the leader himself can deal with it.
"Although Qianji Pavilion enshrines many monks, they are only helping you build your skills. They may not help you, the master of Qianji Pavilion, fight with other masters." Zhao Shu stared at Deng Feibao and said, "There are many cultivators.
There are monks with different foundations, as well as superb spells to ban life. Those who don't know may think you are some kind of people from the Tianxia Dynasty, but it's a pity that you still lack a praise officer to sit in the middle."
