"The name of Martial Demon is the one that has been popular among my ears recently! If I say that I am here specifically to wait for Martial Demon, can Martial Demon be trusted?"
Taoist Master Qingyang smiled gently, responded with Taoist etiquette, and asked with an enigmatic smile.
"Um?"
Wu Xin trembled, thinking that Wei Zheng and Zhang Gongjin were actually friends with the righteous leader, but he didn't expect that they were here specifically to wait for him.
Is it so mysterious? Is this even possible?
In the previous battle on the banks of the Fuhe River, the ambush party was hastily ambushed because the ambush party had mistaken its own route. Otherwise, the ambush party would not be just a hastily gathered nearby monks. Xinwuwei would not be able to destroy the enemy so easily!
However, considering the reputation of Chunyang Sect and Taoist Immortal Ziyang Zhenren, it is hard to say that they may have mysterious and unpredictable divination methods!
As his thoughts suddenly changed, Wu Xin responded humbly: "The Taoist priest said something serious, I'm scared! I'm an unknown person, how can I be so virtuous and capable as to make the Taoist priest come and wait in person!"
"When the martial arts demon first appeared in the world, he made a name for himself and became famous all over the world. How can he be so presumptuous about himself?"
Taoist Priest Qingyang’s eyes were deep and lively, and he had kind eyebrows and kind eyes as he taught. He paused for a moment, and then continued with some guidance: “How can he be a small person if he can make the demon sect restless and let the descendant of the demon queen personally go out and try his best to recruit people?
"
Wu Xin's heart thumped, and he secretly exclaimed something bad, and quickly responded: "Perhaps the people of the world have misunderstood! The descendant of the Demon Queen came out mainly to redeem Gu Ying, one of the top ten killers in the world, not for me!"
"Yeah?"
Taoist Priest Qingyang responded with a half-smile, and took the initiative to change the subject: "As expected, Wu Yao came here to recruit Zhang Changshi and Wei Lord Bo, right?"
Wu Xin wondered in surprise: "Is this really possible? Or is it calculated through our own route, Wuliuzhuang's events, and his efforts to recruit Xiong Kuohai?"
"Now, chaos has emerged in the world, and demons are dancing wildly! It's time for us to hold the sword in the world, eliminate demons and defend the law, support the country, and save the common people..."
Without waiting for Wu Xin's response, Taoist Master Qingyang said with a righteous face and awe-inspiring righteousness, which was heartfelt and convincing. Unexpectedly, his tone changed and he said:
"With the qualifications of a martial arts demon and a little polishing, he will definitely become the pillar of my righteous path and the pillar to bring order out of chaos! It is found that I have no disciples, so I wonder if I can respect Chunyang Palace?"
"Become a disciple?!" Wu Xin thought in surprise.
It allowed the leader of the Righteous Path to take action in person and secretly recruit disciples. As the leader of the Righteous Path, Chunyang Sect, Wu Xin was indeed quite moved, and a little proud and excited.
However, I just refused the invitation from the Demon Sect and made a promise in public. It’s a bit unreasonable to change my attitude so quickly!
Thinking of this, Wu Xin responded: "Chunyang Palace is the leader of the righteous way, I am flattered! But... now I am rushing to the south to take up my post, and I really can't get away..."
Before he finished speaking, Wu Xin felt that his refusal was already quite obvious.
Taoist Master Qingyang frowned slightly, his displeasure flashed away, and he said naturally and arrogantly: "It doesn't matter! There is no conflict between the two things! Besides, entering my Chunyang Palace will make everything more convenient, whether it is recruiting talents.
, or appease the people, govern the local area, etc., it will get twice the result with half the effort!"
"What do you mean? If you don't enter Chunyang Palace, you won't be able to recruit talents and appease the people? Is this a threat?"
Wu Xin instinctively said with some displeasure and suspicion. He looked at Taoist Qingyang and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
I actually saw a slightly cool feeling in Taoist Priest Qingyang... disgusted!
"If you don't enter Chunyang Palace, you won't accept the solicitation of the Demon Sect! Does that mean you are a treasonous heretic or a heretic? Is this disgusting? Your sense of justice is off the charts?"
Wu Xin thought at a loss for words, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and replied: "I am new to the world, and now I just want to benefit one party. I don't want to get involved with other grievances for the time being. I have failed the Taoist Master's expectations. I am really scared and ashamed!"
"Does Wu Yao look down on me, Chunyang Palace? Or do you not want to be righteous and contribute to the troubled times?"
Taoist Priest Qingyang showed disappointment on his face, and sighed in a hushed tone, quite concerned about the people.
However, Wu Xin saw the colder and colder aura of Taoist Qingyang, which was a sign that he had turned from disgust to disgust, and even revealed murderous intent.
"I'm sorry! I, Xiao Liwei, don't have that much ambition and ambition for the time being. I just want to concentrate on one place at the moment and don't want to get involved in the disputes between rivers and lakes or the battle between good and evil!"
The original favorable impression suddenly changed, and Wu Xin responded frankly with some impatience.
Taoist Master Qingyang still refused to give up and reminded: "It's just a formality. It will definitely do more good than harm to Magistrate Wu. Magistrate Wu should think twice before acting! If you don't have the right heart, how can you benefit one party?"
"It's a formality again! The magic sect pays a huge price for recruiting, and the meeting gift is a building worth tens of thousands of dollars. This righteous leader, with only a face and a mouth full of justice, wants me to express my position, do you think I'm stupid?"
Wu Xin secretly slandered him, then his face darkened, and he replied: "Sorry! As I said before, I just want to concentrate on governing one side, and don't want to get involved in the disputes between rivers and lakes or the battle between good and evil!"
"Hey... How can a genius like this be left alone?"
Taoist Master Qingyang sighed with worry on his face, and then asked: "Is Magistrate Wu planning to exclude me from the righteous path?"
Wu Xin's pupils shrank, and he saw ice-cold murderous intent from Taoist Priest Qingyang.
However, Taoist Master Qingyang concealed it so deeply that others could not see any signs or sense any murderous intent, but they could not hide it from the "Eye of Reincarnation"!
"What kind of righteous leader? He is probably a hypocrite!"
"Even if he is not a hypocrite, he just has a strong sense of justice! With this kind of heart, he is not much better... Fortunately, I didn't agree hastily before, otherwise I would have been deceived!"
Thinking of this, Wu Xin simply ignored Taoist Priest Qingyang, looked at Wei Zheng and Zhang Gongjin, and said sincerely:
"I wonder if the two gentlemen are willing to go to Jurong? As long as the county can do it, we will agree to it. Even the power of the county magistrate and the city lord can be completely entrusted to each other without any interference!"
"this……"
The two people who had been silent all this time were stunned.
Unexpectedly, Wu Xin valued them so much and made such a big promise.
A scholar will die for his confidant, while a literati will take profits lightly but attach great importance to fame, and they look forward to opportunities to display their talents.
The two of them began to think deeply at the same time, and they were obviously moved, which made Wu Xin overjoyed!
"Why……"
There was a sigh full of regret and disappointment. Taoist Master Qingyang's face was filled with compassion and worry, and he interjected:
"If County Magistrate Wu doesn't join my righteous path, why do you still want to bring two aspiring pillars of my righteous path to the wild south? Could it be that Magistrate Wu has already secretly had a love affair with the Demon Sect?"
After a pause, he quickly continued: "As far as I know, Magistrate Wu has just massacred more than 4,000 monks and has already formed a grudge with Buddhism. And he does not follow my right path. What is Magistrate Wu's intention? What is in his heart?
?”
Both Wei Zheng and Zhang Gongjin's expressions changed slightly, and even Zhang Gongjin, who was the most emotional, was obviously wary and suspicious.
Having a grudge against Buddhism and offending the righteous path is a way to end one’s future?!
Or maybe Magistrate Wu really secretly defected to the Demon Sect?
