Chapter 322: Thousands of Miles to Collect Debts, Return to Qingshui with Honor
The gunpowder smoke and mountain fires in the distance have not yet subsided, but the dragon boat has already cut through the sky and left first.
Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!
Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door outside the silent wing.
Fang Lexian stood up, opened the door, and saw the guardian of his house.
After some exchanges, I realized that the terrifying thunderstorm had affected the movement of the ship, and I almost thought there were thieves trying to hijack the ship.
"It's just a talisman. It shocked everyone. I'm here. You go."
After sending a few people away, Fang Lexian closed the door and sat down, looking at Tie Tang with a shocked expression.
Being stared at by the scorching eyes, Tie Tang laughed and pretended that nothing happened: "The Thunder Exorcism Curse... is not bad at all. It can keep up with my 30% or 40% strength."
"Brother Tie, I don't see that you are still a genius in terms of talismans... How can an ordinary thunder-dispelling spell be so powerful?"
Tie Tang also guessed that this talisman was somewhat extraordinary, so he asked: "How powerful is an ordinary thunder-dispelling talisman?"
"The power of a talisman actually involves all aspects."
"For example, if the same talisman is drawn by Tai Yiyi and drawn by others, there will be some innate differences.
For another example, if two Taiyi disciples draw the same talisman, the power will be affected due to their different strengths and qualifications.
In addition to these factors......
The power of the talisman also has a rough judgment limit.
The simplest method of identification is to judge from the color of the talisman.
The most widely circulated talismans in the world today come in three colors.
There are three kinds of talismans: yellow, purple and black.
Among them, the yellow talisman is the lowest grade, and the black talisman is the highest. At the level of the black talisman, it has almost immortal power. A single talisman can determine life and death, and divide yin and yang. It must not be underestimated.
Of course.
Even among talismans of the same color, there are some differences.
The Thunder Expelling Spell, like this one, also belongs to the lower-middle level in Huangfu, mainly because of the thunder method, which enhances its own power.
The thunder method is extremely strong and can ward off ghosts and suppress all evils. As a means of reducing disasters and punishing people, thunder has a great deterrent effect on any living being.
Because of the power of thunder, it will never fall down forever!
Brother, you are about to enter the mysterious realm of witches, and you will also suffer thunder tribulation. If you can master more thunder techniques, it will be of great help in overcoming the tribulation."
That’s right.
According to Fang Lexian, Tie Tang realized that the thunder-dispelling spell he had drawn earlier was obviously far beyond its supposed strength.
The Thunder Expelling Curse is included in the thunder method, which is similar to the entry-level spell. When placed in the realm of witchcraft cultivation, it is the level of the secret realm of the physical body.
It is still the most basic level of skin refining and bone forging, which is not even considered as the blood exchange realm.
Just because the Thunder Expelling Curse belongs to the thunder method, and because the level of the thunder method is too high, the level of the talisman has been improved a lot.
And the power of his previous thunder-dispelling curse undoubtedly exceeded the power of the yellow talisman by a large margin.
Even more strangely...
I obviously took the third path of summoning thunder, but I heard the message from a certain thunder general who came under the imperial edict.
"I don't have any inheritance in this field at all, so the talisman written down will not be an edict or a letter of thunder, and it is impossible to give orders to the generals of the Thunder Department.
Why would a thunderous general come with an order..."
He expressed this question and discussed it with the three people present.
Iron Dragon and Iron Tiger have never succeeded from beginning to end, so naturally they don’t know what the talisman will look like after it is successful.
But after all, Fang Lexian came from an extraordinary background. He had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running around, so he immediately noticed something was wrong.
"According to your statement...either you heard it wrong, or there is something strange going on.
Normally, there is no sect inheritance, which means there is no one above and no relationship. How do those thunder generals know who you are?
I will not treat the talismans you wrote as edicts or thunder letters.
In my opinion...mostly..."
"There's something wrong with my blood!" Tie Tang said the second half of the hesitant words for him.
"That's probably the case, otherwise it would be difficult to explain this situation."
It involves his own blood, which is equivalent to his own secrets. Tie Tang naturally won't talk much about it. The other three are also very discerning and quickly changed the topic.
No matter what.
Now that he has drawn the real thunder-dispelling spell, Fang Lexian will naturally inform the formation master, so that the formation of Qingshui County will be found, which can be regarded as a worry.
After that, before Lou Chuan arrived at the capital of the gods, Tie Tang meditated on the "True Explanation of Yuanshen" and practiced hard behind closed doors. He vaguely felt that the barrier to the secret realm of the gods and witches was right in front of him.
Tie Long and Tie Hu are obsessed with the talismans, drawing the talismans day and night as if they were possessed.
None of the three people participated in the shamanistic event and meandering water drinking ceremony in Lou Chuan anymore. Only Fang Lexian was left busy taking care of his own business.
On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the Fang family's dragon boat arrived in Fucheng, Shendu, which was also the starting point for Tie Tang's arrival.
Although Jiuyao City is a county among the people and has considerable financial resources, the number of people circulating cannot meet the bottom line for the Fang family to set up a shipping company.
Therefore, large shipping companies such as Fang Family Tianbao Pavilion will not set up branch rudders in Jiuyao City. Naturally, Tie Tang's company cannot reach Jiuyao City directly.
As for Qingshui County... it has been labeled as a bitter cold place, and even some small short-distance commercial banks cannot open branches there.
If the road is blocked, it will be difficult for business to truly develop, and Qingshui City still has a long way to go.
After arriving in Shendu, Fang Lexian greeted the boat company and did not continue to run with the boat. Instead, he followed Tie Tang and the others back to Jiuyao City.
Originally, Tie Tang should have returned directly to Qingshui County, but now several key figures in Qingshui City and a group of outstanding talents are trapped in Jiuyao City.
Even if he returns to Qingshui City, he will be alone and alone, and he can't even get the official seal of the county governor.
Therefore, Jiuyao City has become a must-pass road and must be walked.
At least you have to fish out your own people first.
Jiuyao County is subordinate to the Shendu Prefecture, and one prefecture controls six counties. The boundaries are naturally connected to each other, and it is impossible to have separate corners in the south and north.
It is not too far to reach Jiuyao from Shendu through the teleportation array, and Tie Tang is already familiar with the journey.
When the four of them reappeared in Jiuyao City, their feelings were different again.
Fang Lexian sighed with emotion: "Jiuyao City is already very good, but compared to the vitality of heaven and earth in the Holy Capital... the gap is really too big."
Tie Tang joked: "Brother, are you starting to dislike it now? I'm afraid that when you arrive in Qingshui City... you won't be able to stay for a few days and then want to leave."
Jiuyao City cannot be compared with the Holy Capital Chaoge, and Qingshui City is far inferior to Jiuyao. Comparing this layer by layer...only those who have experienced it can know the difference.
"It doesn't matter, I have finally reached the realm of earth shaman, and I have some ability to draw dragon energy from the earth veins through the air."
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Tie Tang knew that it was difficult for people like Fang Lexian, who came from a wealthy family, to understand a 'bitter and cold' place like Qingshui City.
Now he doesn't care, because he hasn't really experienced it, but it may not be the case when he gets to the real place.
If he really can no longer live there...he will also let Fang Lexian leave.
After arriving at Jiuyao City, the atmosphere here was undoubtedly much more relaxed than when Tie Tang left.
This can be known from the examination of the officials guarding the formation.
Tie Tang led the crowd to the Supervisory County Mansion first, where he was the only one who could learn the latest situation.
Jiu Yao's supervisory residence was still working hard to eradicate the evil cult. When Tie Tang arrived here, he only saw Su Zian, but not Xiang Tian, Qiu Zhengyang and others.
From Su Zian's mouth, I learned that after interrogation, most of the people from the eight major counties who came to participate in the competition were cleared of suspicion, and 99% of the people were released. At this time, they had returned to their own counties.<
/p>
After all, the people who came to participate in the competition included the county wardens, county magistrates, supervisory guards, chief county guards and other important officials.
Forced detention for too long will inevitably lead to some accidents in those counties and cities. Even the power of the human king must take this factor into consideration.
Among them, in addition to Jiuyao County's own officials, there is also a county that has problems and is considered to be somewhat involved with the cult.
"There is a monk hiding in Chaoxi County. It is said that he is an abandoned disciple of Shi Wuyan Temple. This monk seems to have some relationship with Tianlu Sect."
Su Zian's tone was a little lonely, obviously he was very worried about this case.
"Oh? Is it the monk named Hui Chan? I remember him." Tie Tang remembered the initial murder in the inn, which was once implicated in Chaoxi County.
Su Zian nodded: "Yes, that's him!"
"Just because of this monk, Chaoxi County's Supervisor Zhengshou and several supervisors were involved, which made the King of People have opinions about our Supervisory Hall.
I even wonder if someone is deliberately framed, or if the court is really dissatisfied with our supervisory office and wants to take action on me."
"So...where are they now?"
Tie Tang knew who all the people he mentioned were, had met them before, and even fought with some of them.
Chaoxi County Supervisor Tao Kaiyu and Supervisor Ying Roujin are all familiar people. Now it seems that they are involved in the turmoil of the three major cults because of the abandoned disciple of Shi Wuyan Temple.
"Chaoxi County Governor Yuan Jiangxue was pardoned and sent back to Chaoxi County, but those who were affiliated with our Supervisory Hall were detained, and we were not allowed to intervene."
"Although that monk is an abandoned disciple, he is still from Shi Wuyan Temple. Why not ask about that Buddhist holy place?"
"It's not that I haven't asked before. Both the Supervisory Palace and the Human King have visited Shi Wuyan Temple.
But the other party only said that Hui Chan had been expelled from the school, and that what he did had nothing to do with Shi Wuyan Temple, and did not explain too much."
"Buddhism is so crazy?"
Su Zian shook his head: "There are too many involved, it's troublesome, it's very troublesome... Brother Tie, can you teach me?"
Tie Tang waved his hand slowly: "I don't know the situation, I'm afraid I can't do anything, but we are all monks. I will ask the great monk when I get back, and I will let you know if I have any clues."
"Thank you in advance, Su!"
"Speaking of this, I haven't thanked Marquis Weiyuan for helping me in Chaoge."
"It's nothing to do with a little effort."
"By the way, Chaoge has recently reported a shocking case. I'm afraid you don't know about it yet, Brother Su."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"The list of places has been stolen, and now the whole Chaoge is in turmoil. You'd better stay dormant for a while and don't be too public."
Su Zian raised his eyebrows and suddenly realized: "No wonder the Heaven and Earth Ranking has been unable to enter since a few days ago. It turns out that the Earth Ranking's real body has been stolen...
How audacious! Who dares to take action in the Holy City? Is there a suspect?"
Tie Tang just shook his head silently, without saying a word, but he said enough.
"I understand. It seems that I have to write something here as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the higher authorities."
"Is there any gain?"
"We have captured more than a hundred small fish and shrimps and are preparing to report them to be beheaded on another day."
Tie Tang's curiosity aroused: "Have you ever found any clues about the core of the Three Religions?"
Su Zian looked around, ignoring the looks of Fang Lexian, Tie Long, and Tie Hu, and waved a ban to block the conversation between the two.
"The people behind the three religions are deeply hidden, and their involvement is extremely wide. It seems that even some aristocratic families have their secret spies.
These three sects are not that simple. I suspect that they have something to do with some of the people above.
After you return to Qingshui City, you can also conduct a secret search. It is best to have County Sheriff Li, County Magistrate Lu and others cooperate with each other."
"Brother Su, I have promoted Qingshui County Sheriff, and I will investigate vigorously when I return."
Su Zian was surprised and immediately held up his hands to congratulate him: "Congratulations on Gaosheng!"
"These are all trivial matters. Tie is very jealous of cults. If Brother Su has any clues, please let me know.
If I discover anything, I will definitely inform you in time."
"Definitely, definitely!"
.........
After leaving the Supervisory County Residence, Tie Tang didn't bother to look at the stinking faces of the Human King forces, and directly led the three of them back to Qingshui City.
On the way, Lexian looked at Tie Tang with admiration. How could he not know Su Zian's name? He was known as the toughest among the tough, but he also had a well-established family background and a strong background to support him.
Tie Tang's friendship with Su Zian is enough for him to go further in the court. With his own qualifications and talents, it will not take long for him to rise.
Jiuyao City does not have a direct formation to Qingshui City, so you have to rely on your own foot power, or rent a boat to reach the city adjacent to Qingshui City, and then use the teleportation formation to return to Qingshui City.
The four of them, Tie Tang, spent a day and finally rushed back to Qingshui City at noon on the eighth day of December.
Along with the colorful formation light, four figures slowly appeared in the formation. Several officials guarding the formation focused their attention, preparing to check the identity of the incoming person.
But before the four of them could fully reveal themselves, a roar came from outside the mansion, and then a golden beast that was ten feet long flew into the air.
As soon as Tie Tang opened his eyes, he saw the ferocious beast staring at him in front of him, and almost thought he was in the wrong place.
"This...isn't this Qingshui City? Is there something wrong with the formation?"
Fang Lexian sniffed his nose and reached out to grab it casually: "That's right, brother, the vitality of heaven and earth here is much worse than that of Jiuyao City. It should be Qingshui City."
"Hey, how dare you lie to my three brothers? You actually sneaked away from the Holy City by yourself. Do you think you can escape that deal?"
The golden ferocious beast in front of us, uttering human words, is one of the three-headed ferrets in front of the Chaoge Supervisory Hall.
"How did you find this place..." Tie Tang was speechless.
He didn't escape on purpose, but he really forgot about the deal with the three-headed Pixiu.
Little Pixiu exhaled a stream of white air from his nostrils, looking bulging with energy, but actually a little cute.
"A monk who can walk can't walk out of the temple. My elder brother saw through your trick early on and specially sent me to your lair to block it. How about it? You didn't expect it, did you?"
It raised its little head with a proud face, staring at the people around it.
Just at this moment, a clear female voice came from the distance.
"Little pig, where have you been, little pig..."
Little Pixiu's body tensed up and his hair stood on end: "No, the tigress is here. Don't even think about running away, I will always follow you."
After saying this, it turned into golden light and fled away like a thunderbolt. The violent air waves made the place chaotic, like a storm passing through.
Tie Tang, who stood there blankly, stretched out his hand to wipe the dirt from his face, before he could fully react.
"Huh?"
"Are you back?"
A red light flashed before his eyes, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Tie Tang. The officials guarding the formation all around bowed and saluted.
"I see you, Lord Sheriff!"
"I see you, Lord Sheriff!"
........
Li Qingwan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Tie Tang who was silent: "Why don't you bow when you see me?"
"Cough! Cough!"
Tie Tang coughed a few times, shook his whole body, and shook away the mud particles all over his body. He calmly took out three pieces of brocade silk of different colors from his arms.
