Chapter 250: Conspiracy in the ancient temple, discussion in the tavern
Cangtao Mountain is located 800 miles outside Jiuyao City, with only a few small villages nearby.
There are towering ancient trees in the mountains, lingering clouds and mist, and melodious bells. Near the top of the mountain, there is a thousand-year-old temple.
The vermilion-lacquered temple door bears a gold-rimmed black plaque with the words "Nanqing Temple in three big characters."
Nanqing Temple has a long history. It has a history of more than a thousand years. It was founded before the Great Shang Dynasty. It is a veritable thousand-year-old temple.
But this ancient temple has now become a demon cave, occupied by the Tianlu Sect, and has become a stronghold of the cult.
Whoosh!
A crooked figure fell down, stumbled open the temple door, and walked towards the depths of the temple.
If you look carefully at this figure, you will find that there is a thin black line connecting him from the top of his head to his perineum.
It's like a piece of rag that was torn in half and was sewn back together by needle and thread.
"Hey, isn't this Hall Master Ke? How did you end up like this?"
Ke Tianrui was angry in his heart, but his face remained calm as usual. He waved his hand and said, "I was injured by the witch from Jiuyao City."
He was the ancient wizard who was cut in half by Tie Tang, but he didn't mention it at this time.
"Oh? Did things go smoothly?"
"That's natural. Ke took action personally. Wouldn't it be easy to kill a few trash?"
After all, he was an ancient wizard, and the other person didn't dare to make things too difficult. He just nodded and left.
Half a day passed.
Another master returned and summoned the church members including Ke Tianrui.
Main Hall.
A man in his forties sat in the center, with the golden statues of the Three Saints of Buddhism behind him, but he turned a blind eye and sat in front of the golden statues.
Ten people scattered here and there, standing in rows on the left and right, each with different levels of cultivation, ranging from the secret realm of witchcraft to the secret realm of magical witches.
"Everyone, our reputation has been established. In a few days, Jiuyao City will hold a county-city competition. Who can think of a way to promote the power of our holy religion?"
A magic witch came out of the queue, raised his hands and said: "Master Protector, if there is no decree from the leader of the church, it is better not to act rashly."
The central protector immediately scolded: "The leader is busy with everything, how can he take care of everything personally? If this is the case, what else do we need to do?
The great competition is coming soon, we should share the worries of the leader and promote the prestige of our holy religion!"
Now the witch is not happy.
He has been able to reach the current level of cultivation, and his horizons have already been broadened. He is not a disciple of the witchcraft secret realm or even the physical secret realm.
"You go ahead if you have the ability, why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf? I respect you as a protector to give face to the leader, don't you think you have a few pounds?"
"What do you mean? Are you looking for death? Even a small hall master dares to make such a fuss here, please be careful that I join you!"
"Shit, you want to fight, don't you? Be careful when you go out, don't die in the middle of the road." The witch Taoist sect in the secret realm of magic witches has his own confidence and majesty, so how can he be afraid of the verbal threats from the protector? "Okay, okay, it's all a trivial matter, stop arguing." Someone came out to smooth things over.
Then he looked at the guardian in the center, smoothed his long beard, and said with a smile: "What Hall Master Yang said is not unreasonable. I heard that this time Zhongyong Hou personally went out to supervise the entire competition.
We are all one and the same, and if we are tied together, we are no enemy of him.
Since the leader of the church has no will, it’s better for us to stay put.”
Ke Tianrui hid in the crowd, quietly watching the rabble quarrel without saying a word.
Naturally, he joined the Tianlu Sect not out of brainwashing, but out of pure selfishness, wanting to go further on the witch path.
However, the protector was so eager to die that he actually named him.
"Hallmaster Ke, what do you think?"
"Ke Mou sincerely abides by the Lord's decree!"
The implication is that you, a protector, should stop nagging you here. I don’t treat you as a human being.
The middle-aged protector looked around at the crowd and said disdainfully: "A bunch of people who are as timid as mice!"
"I have learned that Marquis Zhongyong was impeached because he changed the content of the competition in Renxia County without authorization, which caused dissatisfaction among other princes. He is no longer responsible for this competition.
This time there is someone else monitoring the competition!"
"What?"
"Marquis Zhongyong was impeached?"
"Who has such courage?"
"Didn't I say that the other princes are all princes? Whoever is afraid of whom will probably be involved in some party's interests and attract others to take action."
Everyone was talking about it, but no one dared to speak out.
Without Marquis Zhongyong, there are other marquises. It is no different to them. They are all powerful and invincible existences.
If these people are sitting in charge of the competition and want to go and cause trouble, they are simply seeking death.
"What the Protector means is"
"In this competition, we are going to give the imperial court a head-on blow and teach them a lesson, letting them know that today's world is no longer the world of the Great Shang Dynasty!"
These words made many little witches in the secret realm of witchcraft become excited, and they all expressed their support for the protector.
However, in the eyes of the witches and wizards, it was just an attempt to seek death, and no one paid any attention to it.
"I'm not feeling well, so I'm going to leave first!" Ke Tianrui was the first to speak, not intending to continue messing around with these people.
He was indeed seriously injured, and even his soul was chopped in half by the ninth-level shaman soldiers. It would be difficult for him to recover in a short time.
"Wait!"
Ke Tianrui slowly turned around and looked at the protector, his eyes twitching slightly.
If the other party continues to mess around, he won't give him a good look.
As others have said, this Dharma protector cannot convince the public. He has neither extraordinary achievements nor extraordinary strength.
Just because he was close to a certain elder under the leader, he managed to get into the position of protector, and was not taken seriously by the witches at all.
"What else?"
Whoa!
A white jade porcelain vase was handed over by the protector.
"I know that you went to Jiuyao City and were seriously injured. This 'Shen Gathering Pill' is enough to make your soul recover quickly."
Oh?
Is there any benefit?
Ke Tianrui took the porcelain bottle and opened it. There was indeed a blue-red pill rolling inside.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Just taking a sip of the fragrance made him feel much better.
"Thank you, Lord Protector!" Ke Tianrui bowed deeply and gave a salute.
If you give him more of this kind of thing, let alone bowing and saluting, he would be happy to kneel down and become a grandson.
"My holy religion will be punished if it makes merit, and will be punished if it makes mistakes. Grads and grudges are clearly defined. It is impossible to just hang around!"
"This"
It's a kind of magical wizard. You look at me and I look at you, and you all know the meaning of the other person's words.
"Please make it clear, Lord Protector!" Ke Tianrui was pushed out by everyone to be the first, because he had just received benefits.
However, just one pill is not enough to make him die.
The middle-aged protector suddenly stood up.
"You don't need to worry. The leader has already made a careful plan. The day of the competition will be the time when our holy religion will become famous.
Be prepared. Don't go down the mountain these days, let alone go out to cause trouble. Just wait here quietly.
By then
There will be elders coming in person!"
Ke Tianrui rolled his eyes, leaned in front of the protector, and whispered a few words in a low voice.
"Master Protector, I will tell you the truth, this injury was actually caused by two supernatural powers.
The subordinates suspect that both of them are extremely talented, at least among the ninth grade!"
"Oh?" The middle-aged guardian's expression changed.
If Ke Tianrui hadn't lied, and he could have hurt the ancient witch in the magical realm in the magical realm, then the talents of these two people must not be underestimated.
"We'll see when the time comes. If it's true, your contribution will be indispensable."
"Thank you, sir!"
——
Jiuyao City, the county mansion.
The magic witch who had previously appeared to investigate was now standing respectfully to the side and reporting the news to the governor of Jiuyao City.
"Sir, the three soul witches who died on Lanshan Mountain have been confirmed to be members of the Tianlu Sect. They lurked out of the city with the help of the He family's funeral procession.
Later, he was captured by the inspector who came from a different place and another person. At that time, he was also assisted by a disciple of the zombie lineage.
Later they seemed to have encountered an ancient witch from the Tianlu Sect, and all three great witches of the soul were silenced.
And the inspector used a ninth-grade witch weapon to hurt the ancient witch."
"Did the magical power realm hurt an ancient wizard? What do you think?"
"According to what everyone in the He family said, the two soul wizards didn't even have to resist for a few breaths in their hands, and were captured easily.
Even the ancient wizard was injured in their hands. Although he has the merits of a ninth-level wizard soldier, not everyone can do it.
The subordinates boldly speculated that the out-of-town inspector and the rough guy from the inspection department were at least the ninth grade of the Nine Shackles.
Even if you are the most talented person, it may not be impossible!"
Jiuyao County City pondered for a moment and waved.
"Tell me to go down and don't conflict with those two people. Even if they come to provoke you, don't agree.
In addition, checkpoints are set up at the city gate, and fish charms must be strictly checked when entering and exiting, and others must not be allowed to wander in and out at will."
"Yes, sir!"
——
At this time, neither Tianwen nor Tietang knew that most of their strength had been exposed.
Tie Tang was practicing in seclusion, and only Tian Wen was left to lead Zhen Guandong through the streets, trying to find out information about the geniuses of other counties and cities.
But without Tie Tang’s identity to help him, others would simply ignore him.
An inspection order can be placed in some small towns to show off one's power, but it is of little use here.
Tianwen and Zhen Guandong knocked on several doors, but were rejected.
Even the officials in Jiuyao City were just practicing Tai Chi with all their strength and had no intention of sending anyone to compete with him.
In a tavern.
Tianwen and Zhen Guandong sit face to face. Their burly bodies are like two huge door plaques, occupying a small half of the lobby.
"These people are really boring. They are all more girly than girls. They are still hiding their strength. I don't think it will be a big deal."
Tianwen didn't gain anything at all, and he was afraid that Tietang would laugh at him for his inability to do things afterwards, so he started to find good words for himself.
"Brother, what you said is wrong. The competition is very important to the whole county. Of course, we have to be careful. I think they did a good job."
"No, which side are you from? Is it still possible?"
"Good medicine tastes bitter, but loyal advice sharpens the ears. The ancients are honest and I will not deceive them. Did Sajia say something wrong?" Zhen Guandong looked at Tian Wen with an innocent face, making him tremble with anger.
"If you have the ability, just come and stand and talk without pain. Of course it doesn't matter to you if the problem doesn't fall on you."
"Sajia is just a little dragon, he won't be involved in such things." Zhen Guandong blinked and looked at Tianwen.
Are you trying to make me angry?
I can’t cure you yet?
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Tianwen's mind, and he suddenly remembered a Buddhist secret technique that he had learned when he was young, and he laughed unconsciously.
"Brother, you smile so sinisterly. Are you trying to bring bad ideas to the Sa family? The Sa family is going back."
Zhen Guandong immediately got up and rushed back to his farmyard.
Snap!
Tianwen put a hand on his shoulder and forced him back.
"Why did I forget this? You are a dragon. It must be your natural instinct to grow bigger and smaller, right?"
Zhen Guandong panicked and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Sajia doesn't understand that, I can only change into a human being."
"Don't talk nonsense. Do you think I've never seen a dragon? Come on, come with me to do something." Tian Wen picked up the sturdy Zhen Guandong and walked away without saying a word.
"Good brother, please spare me. The Sa family knows they are wrong."
"Don't worry, there is no reason for me to miss the Buddhist secret method of Daleiyin Temple, even if I really miss it."
"What will happen?"
"Even if we really miss, it's you who's in trouble, and I'm still fine, which means I didn't miss."
Town Guandong: ""
"You are really my good brother."
"It's easy to talk, easy to talk, but who told you to turn your elbows outward?"
Tianwen led the town to Guandong and returned to the farmyard rented by the three of them in a few moments.
Returning to his home, Zhen Guandong was beaming with joy.
"The Sa family knows that my brother loves me. He was just talking in anger before."
"Stop talking nonsense, become your true self, become smaller, no matter how small you are, become as small as you want."
Zhen Guandong's expression changed and he was about to run away, but he was no match for Tian Wen. He was caught before he could even take a step.
"Don't worry, I will still harm you, I just want you to help me."
"Brother, please don't lie to me."
When Zhen Guandong saw that Tian Wen was not joking, he suddenly turned into the body of a red dragon. The bone spurs on his back shone coldly, growing from the top of his head to his tail. The scales all over his body were tough and tough, exuding a faint demonic look.
Qi.
"Get smaller."
The body of the red dragon shrank, from a three-foot-long body to a three-foot body.
"A little smaller."
Whoa!
The town of Guandong has become only three inches in size.
"A little smaller."
"You come, you come, you come and change. The Sa family wants to see if my brother can make himself disappear."
Tianwen was blocked and speechless.
He also knows that Zhen Guandong's strength is limited, and a three-inch dragon body is probably his current limit.
"Can it only be this small?"
"In this way, the Sajia can be maintained for a longer time. If it becomes smaller, even if the Sajia insists on holding on, it won't be able to change for long. It will soon return to its original shape."
Tian Wen held his chin and paced back and forth in the courtyard.
"Three inches is about the same, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
Zhen Guandong turned into a human form, stepped forward and asked: "What bad idea is brother having? Tell me and let the Sa family hear it."
"Have you ever heard that there was a great magical power in ancient times called 'Upright and Shadowless'?"
