Chapter 149: The troops marched to Xiejia Town, and the army turned into a snake.
"Director Jiang, Director Fang."
When Yang Ting came to the two of them, he first clasped his fists and then said in a deep voice:
"I wonder which temple you two are going to attack?"
Hearing what Yang Ting said, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:
"Which temple should I attack? It seems that Yang County Lieutenant knows a lot."
Yang Ting's expression did not change and he replied:
"According to someone's knowledge, there are a total of seventeen temples dedicated to obscenity in Sixi County, all of which are dedicated to large families. There is even a town in the south where people worship evil gods."
Seeing Yang Ting's hesitant look, Jiang Xuan just smiled:
"If Lieutenant Yang has something to say, please continue."
"There is no need to worry because of me."
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, Yang Ting lowered his eyes and spoke slowly:
"In Xiejia Town in the south, the whole town sacrifices animals to the Liqiu ghost to satisfy their selfish desires every day. What does the Taoist priest think should be done?"
Jiang Xuan waved his hand indifferently:
"That Liqiu ghost knows how to help others instead of harming them."
"Although he is an evil god, he is much better than those righteous gods who steal the throne of the City God but never leave the realm of the law. Naturally, I let him go."
Yang Ting's eyes moved when he heard Jiang Xuan's words, and then he spoke again:
"What if all this is pretended by that Liqiu ghost?"
Jiang Xuan immediately narrowed his eyes when he heard this:
"What does Lieutenant Yang mean by this?"
Yang Ting considered his words before speaking:
"I used to think that Liqiu ghost was a good ghost, but reality told me that it was not the case."
"Years ago, I led troops into the mountains to clean up evil spirits. I accidentally discovered that the Liqiu ghost was using human thoughts from the mortal world to sacrifice to evil gods. It even secretly competed with the land for human souls to refine evil spirits."
"Fortunately, there are not many evil ghosts, and the evil god came with his thoughts again. I can use the power of the military formation to fight with him."
"When the spiritual thoughts attached to the evil god's thoughts dissipated, I originally wanted to kill the Liqiu ghost, but when I turned around to look for him, I found that he had fled back to Xiejia Town."
"I wanted to go to Xiejia Town to kill him, but the people in the town were bewitched by him. They regarded him as a close relative and blocked him with their flesh and blood. In the end, I returned without success."
"So if the Taoist priest wants to destroy the mountain and cut down the temple, why not start with the Liqiu Temple in Xiejia Town?"
Recalling everything about the Liqiu ghost, Jiang Xuan pondered for a while and then nodded.
Although Liqiu Temple has never controlled the energy of the earth's veins, it is still a temple for worshiping evil.
If the Liqiu ghost is as good as the rumors, Jiang Xuan would naturally not mind letting him go.
But if you really dare to collect the emotional power of all living beings to sacrifice to evil gods, or even dare to collect human souls to refine evil ghosts, then you will naturally have to kill them.
After all, his uncle's family is still living in Xie's town.
I don’t know if I have been bewitched by this Liqiu ghost.
With thoughts in his mind constantly turning, Jiang Xuan immediately turned his attention to Yang Ting:
"In this case, why don't Lieutenant Yang gather all his troops and go to Xiejia Town with Pindao?"
"It's what I wish for, but I don't dare to ask for it."
Yang Ting hugged Jiang Xuan with a fist, and then he rushed up to the sky with his feet. Then he stepped on the air and rushed towards the camp in the east of the city.
Within a moment, evil spirits rose into the sky from the east of the city, condensed into dark clouds, and headed straight to the south.
"Uncle Master, shall we follow?"
Seeing Yang Ting leading the county soldiers towards Xiejia Town without looking back, Zhao Mingming was a little confused.
This was the first time he had encountered such a resolute and resolute county captain.
Jiang Xuan glanced at him and called out Xu Yun, "Of course I followed."
"If that Liqiu ghost dares to sacrifice and refine human souls, will he still be kept?"
He led Zhao Mingming to set up clouds and flew to the south. The two hundred soldiers who were guarding in front of the county government also set up star clouds and followed Jiang Xuan closely.
As Jiang Xuan's group flew away, another group of people poured out from the south city gate. They looked at each other and then approached from a distance.
"Uncle Master, what should we do with the spies behind us? Do we want to give them a warning?"
Jiang Xuan, who was staring at the evil cloud above the county soldier's head, said helplessly when he heard this:
"We're not doing anything shameful. They can just stare at them if they want. No matter what they do?"
"Oh, then I'll listen to you, uncle."
In response, Zhao Mingming also cast his gaze on the evil cloud above the county soldier's head:
"Eight hundred county soldiers can condense the evil spirit and clouds during the march. If this is a formal battle, this evil spirit must not be condensed into an army formation?"
"Yang County Lieutenant is so capable. This little Sixi County is really a place of outstanding people."
Recalling the mountain of spiritual plants and beasts on Zhushan Mountain, Jiang Xuan nodded in agreement:
“Sixi County is indeed a place with outstanding people.”
"For thousands of years, Sixi County has not produced any famous people. The energy accumulated for thousands of years may explode in this generation. This is going to give rise to a dragon."
"Speaking of great dragons, who can compare to your great master, uncle?"
Zhao Mingming’s compliment was unabashed:
"If Uncle Master is willing, he can become famous all over the world in an instant."
"Even if my uncle intends to curb his sharpness, your name is probably already known by those big forces."
Jiang Xuan waved his hand and refused to answer. He turned around and studied the evil clouds.
From then on, he was silent. After walking all the way to the outside of Xiejia Town, the sun also set on the Western Mountains, and the purpose of Jiang Xuan and others was finally reported back by the spies.
Sixi Tower, East of Sixi City.
Although the Sixi Building, which is usually bustling at night, is still brightly lit, the entire restaurant is so quiet that one can hear the drop of a pin.
In the private room of Tian Zi No., Fang Yuan, who had been submissive in front of Jiang Xuan in the afternoon, but now squinted his eyes like a predatory tiger, put down the tea cup in his hand:
"You have reserved the Sixi Building and invited me to this sky-high box. Don't you just want to watch me drink tea?"
As he spoke, the aura from Fangyuan's body seemed to be emanating unconsciously. Looking at his strength, it was clear that he had reached the sub-sage realm of the fourth realm of literary cultivation.
The people sitting in the lower seats were excited by the momentum. After looking at each other, a white-haired old man stood up:
"Master Fang, we just want to know what that person's plan is."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, other people at the table also spoke:
"Yes, it was going well before the year. After the New Year, the City God's Temple celebrated, the Taoist temple was stationed, the director of the martial arts academy was directly replaced, and Taoist temples in various towns also had high-ranking officials from the Shenxiao sect."
"In addition, you are a literary cultivator in the Xian Sheng Realm but you came to this small Sixi County to serve as the county magistrate. Are you the one who wants to do something big in our Sixi County?"
"Yes, that person is also from our Sixi County, right? After he became a disciple of Zhenren Ye, we sent gifts to his home. He won't suddenly attack us, right?"
"Master Fang, we just want to know what that person is doing. He is leading the Taoist soldiers into the city and leading the county soldiers out of the city. Since the afternoon, there are still Taoist soldiers coming out of the bamboo mountain to gather soil to build a road. Who is he?
What do you want to do?"
"Even if we are allowed to die, we should be allowed to die clearly, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Fang, even if we are allowed to die, we should be allowed to die clearly."
Looking at the increasingly noisy private room, Fang Guan raised his hands and pressed them out of thin air. The next moment, the private room was clear.
Looking at the group of clan leaders who had calmed down, Fangyuan cleared his throat and said:
"That person didn't say anything to me during the day. He just felt that Sixi County was poor and the roads were difficult to walk, so he wanted to build some roads in the county."
"Bang~"
As soon as Fangyuan finished speaking, Mr. Su, who spoke first, knocked on the table:
"How could you not tell us about such a big thing as road construction?"
"Master Fang, please tell Taoist Jiang that although my Zhou family doesn't have much money, they are willing to give five million in treasure to the county to build roads. Please accept it."
"My Wang family has given me 5.5 million treasure banknotes."
"My Li family contributes six million."
"The Xiao family contributes eight million!"
Looking at the crowd of people vying to give away money, Fangyuan couldn't help but shook her head.
To be able to accumulate such a large family in just one county in Sixi County, I don’t know how many human blood steamed buns these people have eaten.
But thinking that the world would be like this tomorrow, he couldn't help but sigh.
So he pressed his hands to signal silence and then spoke again:
"I will tell Dao Zhang Jiang truthfully what you think, but in addition, I have a few words to tell you."
"First, Taoist Master Jiang is a disciple of the Shenxiao sect, and most of the Shenxiao disciples hate evil as much as their enemies."
"Secondly, Daochang Jiang is still a young man, less than ten years old, and he is at the peak of his spirits."
"Thirdly, there is an evil god worshiped in Xiejia Town. Although it is said that the Liqiu ghost is a good ghost, many of the rumors are untrue. Perhaps Daochang Jiang discovered something, so he invited the county soldiers to come to the door.
"
"Fourth, there are many high-ranking practitioners from the Shenxiao sect operating in Sixi County, and those monks who worshiped the Celestial Master Way have all withdrawn from Sixi County. It should be that some tacit understanding has been reached."
"Finally, if you have any obscene worshipers to worship evil gods, I advise you to destroy the temple after you go back."
"Brother Shenxiao is not easy to fool. If Dao Zhang Jiang is really planning to clean up the demons and monsters in Sixi County, I don't think I can do anything for you."
As Fangyuan finished speaking, the expressions of everyone sitting and standing in the box suddenly became different.
Some people breathed a sigh of relief, some frowned, and some were restless.
After a while, everyone in the box showed strange expressions one after another.
Since then, some people's faces changed drastically and showed fear, while others narrowed their eyes and looked like they were watching a show.
In short, all kinds of life are presented one by one in this small box.
Jiang Xuan, who was far away from Xiejia Town, naturally did not know what was happening in the county town.
When he arrived outside Xiejia Town, he looked at the crowd outside the town and became lost in thought.
There is a moat in Xiejia Town, which is three meters wide.
When Jiang Xuan and others arrived, the city gate had been closed, the suspension bridge was raised high, and an Orion walked onto the three-meter-high city wall with a bow, looking on guard.
As for the people outside the moat, they are a group of gray-haired old men.
In addition to this group of elders, Jiang Xuan's third uncle Xie Dong was also among them.
He lowered his cloud head and came to Xie Dong. Looking at Xie Dong who looked like a scholar, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but frown.
His third uncle is said to be a weak scholar, but he has always been in good spirits, but now he looks extremely depressed.
Look at the white-haired elders behind him. Are they as depressed as his third uncle?
What surprised him again was that although their spirits were sluggish, their eyes were frighteningly bright.
"Uncle, there is something wrong with these old men, they seem to be under control."
"And there seems to be a lewd ritual being held in the town."
Jiang Xuan nodded.
Zhao Mingming could see it, and so could he.
As for the town, he really didn't pay attention.
In his thoughts, he spread his spiritual thoughts towards the town, and then Jiang Xuan's eyes suddenly shrank.
Rather than saying that the people were holding obscene sacrifices in the town, it was better to say that the people of Xiejia Town were trapped in an illusion and the power of desire was forcibly extracted.
Moreover, he also discovered his uncle's family among that group of people.
Thoughts last a long time.
Just as Jiang Xuan was thinking, his third uncle Xie Dong walked up to Jiang Xuan:
"Why did Xiaoxuan come to our Xiejia Town today?"
Having said this, he glanced at the Wuyao soldiers and county soldiers behind Jiang Xuan, "They brought so many people here."
Jiang Xuan thought for a while after hearing this, and finally did not reply to his third uncle's question, but snapped his fingers.
The next moment, Xie Dong and the elders of the Xie family who were standing behind him, staring at Jiang Xuan with hungry wolf eyes, all fell limply to the cold ground.
"Yao Huo, use fire magic to keep an eye on these people. Don't let them freeze."
"Although most of these people won't survive tonight."
After saying this, Jiang Xuan pointed to the suspension bridge.
The next moment, the suspension bridge collapsed and the city gate opened wide.
The guards and hunters guarding the wall and behind the gate also fell to the ground after the city gate was opened.
"The Taoist master has good methods."
As soon as Jiang Xuan finished everything, Yang Ting stood next to him:
"A certain family is right, isn't it? This Liqiu ghost from Xiejia Town is just an evil spirit."
Jiang Xuan nodded:
"This time Pindao is going to give you a favor."
"The Taoist priest's favor is worth a lot of money."
Yang Ting smiled, then faced Jiang Xuan:
"Taoist Master, will you take action or shall we?"
Jiang Xuan waved his hand and signaled:
"It just so happens that I want to see what the military can do. Why don't you take action, General Yang?"
"As for the townspeople in the town, once the general takes action to break the illusion created by Li Qiu ghost, Pindao will let them leave."
"It's just a city full of people. I don't know how many people can survive."
Yang Ting showed a hint of ridicule when he heard this:
"If God does evil, you can still violate it; if you do evil yourself, you can't ignore it."
"After a certain family discovered the Liqiu ghost's heel, they brought troops here three times, but each time they were threatened by the group of elders to commit suicide and were immediately blocked from the town."
"I even invited a famous Taoist master to come, but before the master had time to say anything, three elders bumped into the city wall and died. The master was so angry that he turned around and left."
"I can feel that at that time, they had not been controlled by the Liqiu ghost."
"It can only be said that they bring it upon themselves."
Having said this, Yang Ting sighed, and then waved his hand behind him.
"Set up the formation and follow my general to attack the temple."
"promise."
As the soldiers responded, the evil spirit soaring into the sky rose again, and the evil clouds even covered the bright moon in the sky.
There was another neighing sound from the sky. If you look closely, there is a giant snake more than twenty feet long with a forked hook-like tail roaring up to the sky in the evil clouds?
"Uncle Master, this Yang County Lieutenant should have the inheritance of the Hook Snake Army Formation."
Jiang Xuan looked at Zhao Mingming angrily when he heard this:
"I haven't seen such a big hook snake?"
Zhao Mingming chuckled, then frowned and said:
"Uncle Master, there are nearly 20,000 people in the town, what should we do?"
"Uncle Master, I have my own way."
The old god replied, Jiang Xuan stuffed a Heaven-Building Pill into the mouth of his third uncle, and then took a picture of the vitality talisman for the group of white-haired elders, and then stepped on the wall of Xiejia Town.
.
Standing on the battlements and walking inward, the lights in front of Liqiu Temple, six hundred meters away from him, were brightly lit, and more than twenty bonfires were lit in the huge open space.
Wisps of faint blue smoke were rising from the bonfire. Before the smoke could disperse, it was sucked into the chests of the nearly 20,000 people sitting around the bonfire.
And those people, exuding indescribable enthusiasm at this moment, loudly expressed their inner desires.
Some people were even frothing at the mouth, but they still looked excited, as if they were not worried about their situation at all.
The scene of this group of demons dancing around is a bit scary to watch.
"The whole army obeyed the order and attacked together."
"promise."
In the midst of his thoughts, Yang Wei's roar reached Jiang Xuan's ears again.
And as the soldiers responded, there was a trembling sound of string pulling.
Turning around, he saw that the county soldiers who had climbed onto the city wall had drawn their long bows and pointed them at the sky.
"Hey~"
As Jiang Xuan turned his attention to them, they also shot arrows at the hooked snake in the sky.
The next moment, the hooked snake, which was hovering in the high air and swimming continuously, faced the rain of arrows, and then turned into eight hundred clouds of smoke in Jiang Xuan's surprised eyes, and merged directly into the arrows.
Then the eight hundred arrows turned into eight hundred small hooked snakes, which circled in the sky and then swooped down towards Liqiu Temple.
During the dive, the two tails behind it kept trembling, making bursts of annoying whinnying sounds, which made people uncontrollably irritated.
As the little hooked snake flew faster and faster, the neighing sound it emitted became louder and louder, until when the neighing sound reached a certain height, the bonfire placed in front of the Liqiu Temple seemed to have stopped in time.
once, then goes out instantly.
"Ouch~~"
A roar that sounded both human and inhuman came from the Liqiu Temple. Jiang Xuan just listened from a distance and felt a creepy feeling.
But he didn't look too much, and immediately snapped his fingers when he saw the military formation breaking through the illusory formation.
The next moment, the common people who had fallen to the ground after the illusory formation was broken, as if they had suddenly lost their energy and energy, stood up staggeringly like zombies, and then walked slowly towards the city gate.
"Uncle Master, you, this is you."
Seeing Zhao Mingming raising his fingers to the people, Jiang Xuan spread his hands:
"Your uncle, I have learned the magical power of "Red Dust". I can cut off my own troubles and turn the lust of the mortal world into an illusion."
"With the magical power of "Red Dust", it is reasonable for me to control ordinary people with less than 20,000 people, right?"
Zhao Mingming nodded silently after hearing this:
"It's reasonable, it's so reasonable."
"In the Xiantian realm, you can control more than 10,000 people with one magical power. There is nothing more reasonable than this."
Smiling, Jiang Xuan glanced at Zhao Mingming who was so shocked that he was talking nonsense. Jiang Xuan then took out five Sky-Building Pills and put them in the mouths of his uncle and his family. Then he took out a stack of "Soul-nurturing Talismans" and handed them to Zhao Mingming:
"Your uncle, I don't have the "Life Talisman" in my hand anymore, so I'll just use these "Shen Yang Talisman" to save the lives of the people first."
"In addition, send a message to the nearby Taoist temple and ask the Taoist temple guards to come and rescue people with talismans."
"Also, let's take a look at what's going on with the garrison of the Taoist temple in Xiejiazhen. How come such a big thing happened and no news was sent out."
"I know, Uncle Master, I'll call someone over right now."
"Bang~"
While the two were talking, the door of Liqiu Temple exploded, and a figure that seemed slightly familiar to Jiang Xuan came out of the smoke.
