Chapter 439: The method of liberation, fighting for disciples
After more than a month of operation, the name of Qingshui City Yanxia Cave has spread in surrounding cities.
After Tie Tang returned, he was able to sense the surge of people in the city.
When there are more people, business will naturally flourish, but it will also bring chaos, especially since he has just learned that a large number of prisoners have escaped.
If you want to ensure the stability of the city, the entry and exit of a city's population is undoubtedly the top priority.
In addition to the various city gates, the most critical one is Fenglei Mansion.
In the past, Fenglei Mansion had specialized officials to guard it, but this department was not very strong and was purely a mixed organization. This was the case in any city.
As soon as Tie Tang turned around, he immediately summoned Li Qingwan and He Changsheng to explain the cause of the matter and strengthened the verification of fish talismans entering and exiting each city gate. All Yuanshen Great Witches and above must be registered.
As for the teleportation formation Fenglei Mansion, a battalion of sergeants were directly dispatched to take care of it day and night, and every person entering and leaving must be registered.
"This time of chaos, although we in Qingshui City are protected by formations, we should not be careless. In addition to conventional measures, what suggestions do you have?"
Li Qingwan raised her eyebrows and said slowly: "With our strength alone, it is not difficult to take care of the overall situation, but we cannot take care of all aspects.
Unless...
Each aristocratic family is required to send personnel to patrol different areas day and night. If a criminal is caught, a reward can be given."
Tie Tang understood her plan as soon as she heard it.
"It seems that the price of haze coupons has increased significantly in the city recently. Is someone angry with you?"
He Changsheng's face turned red, but Li Qingwan remained calm and nodded in recognition.
"The thing you created has begun to be in short supply as the number of people entering the city from various places has exceeded demand. If those outside Qingshui County want to enter the Yanxia Cave, they can only rely on the Yanxia Voucher.
Nowadays, a haze coupon can easily be sold for a sky-high price. Many people have asked me for it openly or secretly, revealing the idea that they can buy it with a lot of money.
Many serving officials are waiting for this month's salary, and even if they don't have a trace of gold and silver, they have to exchange it all for haze coupons."
The output of Yanxia coupons is completely controlled by Tie Tang. Nowadays, the amount issued every month is a fixed amount, which is numerous.
This has also caused the value of Yanxia coupons to increase day by day!
Tie Tang nodded: "Things that are rare are valuable. Once there are too many of these things, they are worthless. I will increase the output appropriately.
As for Captain Li’s previous suggestion...it was also very good.
You pass it on and see how many people those aristocratic families can provide, and the rewards will mainly be haze coupons."
"That's no problem. Now Qingshui City is booming, and everyone in the city, rich and poor, is trying to do things for the government.
When it comes to governing a city...your methods are indeed far better than mine." Li Qingwan is the last county governor, so she naturally knows that it is not easy.
Tie Tang laughed loudly: "I have no regrets about being able to win Master Li's words."
"You went to Jiangdu Prefecture. How did things go? Don't wander around recently. The business center is not completely settled yet. There are some troubles."
"Things are going well, I have eyebrows, but I feel more and more that there is still a long way to go." Tie Tang also felt troubled when he thought of the Yu family, which is so famous in the world.
"But this time I have made a huge name in Jiangdu City. During this period, the number of visitors will increase sharply, and there may even be many wizards, Taoists, gods, and even fairy overlords coming.
Please tell the people below not to overdo it, so as not to offend those difficult characters and cause trouble in vain."
The matter of the life and death list has not yet reached Qingshui City, so Li Qingwan, He Changsheng and others naturally did not know about it, so they became a little curious after hearing the words.
Before they could ask, Tie Tang waved his hand: "You go ahead, I have guests coming."
"I'm resigning!"
After the two left, Tie Tang found out the illusory handprint, fished it out from the air outside the county government office, and brought the black and rotten Er Gou in front of him.
"With your strength, even I dare not say that I can kill you. Which immortal took action against you?"
In the secret realm of witches and wizards, there will never be another person in the world who can hurt Ergou like this.
Tie Tang only took a cursory look and knew that he must have been injured in the hands of an immortal and not just a simple immortal.
"Cough~"
The two dogs spat out a mouthful of black blood and splashed it on the green and white floor tiles of the main hall. Gray smoke immediately rose up and corroded the ground into a large pit, nearly ten feet deep.
"He is a master of the corpse extermination line. He teamed up with a zombie with the body of a fairy to seriously injure me. He has a jade ghost face. I have never seen this person before."
Jasper ghost face?
Tie Tang had no impression either. Days and months flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Shall I give it a try?"
"It's useless!"
Ergou shook his head helplessly: "My corpse poison attacked my heart, and I was given a strange talisman. Dao patterns filled the Zi Mansion, and even my soul was imprinted.
Even you can't do anything to save me."
"The method of exorcising corpses... I have been taught many times, but you may not be able to do anything to me." After Tie Tang finished speaking, he did not wait for Ergou to respond, and sucked him in with his right palm.
"Don't resist!"
He drew out the fairy-like white jade witchcraft power and flowed it into Ergou's body. He kept tapping the various orifices around his body with his ten fingers, trying to force out the corpse poison.
After half a stick of incense.
Tie Tang stopped, sweating profusely.
Ergou's body color returned to normal, and he looked no different from usual, but his face still didn't show much joy.
"The corpse poison in my body is nothing. Even if I give up this body, I can still be reborn with my limbs broken off.
But my Yuan Shen Seed Talisman was branded with great power by the immortal god, and I can’t survive more than seven days.”
This time Tie Tang did not refute.
He has tried to treat him, but the person who took action... was at least an immortal god in the Tao realm. He had integrated the power of the Tao and the corpse poison root seed, which was completely unable to be driven away.
If you want to peel off the corpse poison and mark on Ergou's soul, you must also wear it away. To remove his soul and soul is to kill him in advance.
"He wants to turn my body into a zombie, and we can't let him succeed. You kill me first, and then destroy my body." Ergou has already begun to intend to die.
Tie Tang remained silent for a while.
It’s not like he doesn’t have the means to save the two dogs.
Not only does he have it, he also has more than one way.
Firstly, the Golden Elixir for Fighting Evil, which was refined by the Human Emperor himself, is enough to eliminate Ergou’s disaster.
Second, he can go to Jiangdu Mansion and ask Feng Yi or Xu Jinghui to take action.
Among them, Feng Yi's strength is unpredictable, and Xu Jinghui is also the master, so it is not difficult to treat the two dogs' injuries.
There are third and even fourth ways.
These methods may seem simple, but they are actually resources and connections that are difficult for Ergou to obtain.
Tie Tang is considering...
Do you want to save him?
To save, what method should be used?
In Tie Tang's heart, Er Gou is naturally not a good person, and he does not have a deep friendship with him. On the contrary, he has a lot of hatred.
After all, Ergou made two attempts to assassinate Tie Tang. Although he failed, the cause and effect had been established.
However, Ergou has a special bloodline. He is a hybrid of human and demon, which may be one of the few in the world.
Coupled with his extraordinary qualifications, it would be a pity if he died like this...
"Please tell me carefully what happened."
Ergou didn't hide anything and told the truth.
After Tie Tang listened...
Some people asked with some confusion: "Why is the relationship between the Wu family so messy? They are fighting with the Hongyan Cult, and now they have a relationship with the Corpse Exorcist lineage, and they also want to marry into the Yu family..."
"The tree is big and has deep roots. Judging from the current situation...whether it is the Beauty Cult or the Corpse Exorcists, they are only related to Wu Huajun, not necessarily to the Wu family.
There are too many children from these wealthy families, and not everyone can get the best resources. It is inevitable that there will be some desperate people."
Ergou's words were full of disdain. It was obvious that he had seen many similar characters during his years of assassination.
"What you said makes sense."
Tie Tang nodded and looked at Ergou jokingly: "You and I have known each other for a while. What is your real name?"
"I don't have a name, so I'll call me Ergou." He is an orphan who grew up together with Brother Dan. He was born to raise an ordinary character and really has no name.
"If you don't want to say it, I won't force you." Tie Tang thought he didn't trust him.
Ergou pondered for a moment: "My name has been Ergou since I was little. I'm not lying to you. But when Brother Dan picked me up, he said that there were a few words written next to me that might be my name."<
/p>
"What's it called?"
"The wind makes the way."
"Ah? Is this really your name?"
Ergou had used this name before when he blocked the gate of the Wu family in Jiangdu City. Tie Tang always thought it was a pseudonym, but he didn't expect it to be his real name.
"Maybe, I don't know. There's no point in talking about it now." Ergou shook his head lonely.
Tie Tang walked slowly in the hall and suddenly said: "The Jasper Ghost Face asked you to become his teacher before, but you were unwilling.
So.
If I ask you to become my teacher...are you willing?"
Ergou and Yi were stunned.
He raised his head and looked at Tie Tang who was strolling in the courtyard in shock. He couldn't believe how these words came out of his mouth.
There was a long silence in the empty hall.
After half a stick of incense.
Tie Tang added: "If you worship me as your teacher and practice my methods, you can naturally survive this disaster.
If you don't want to...
For the sake of your qualifications, I can also go to the master of Jiangdu Palace to treat your injuries.
Your surname is Feng, and because of my reputation, he will take action.
It’s your choice!”
Tie Tang gave two choices. No matter what Ergou chooses, he will help.
As for Ergou...
There is hope of survival.
What is before him now...is not survival, but two paths for the future.
Choose the second path.
Then he will still exist like a lonely ghost in the future. Even if he becomes a fairy, he will be like a mouse crossing the street, not daring to show up in the world easily.
Only by waiting for him to become the overlord of the immortal gods and have the strength to dominate an area can he gain a foothold in the world.
If you choose the first path, at least it will not be worse than before.
Ergou thought about it for a long time.
He is not afraid of death. As a killer, life and death have long been ignored. Death is like a passing cloud. He has seen too much.
"Why...why? Why should you be my master?"
Tietang, a big horse with a golden sword, sat down, with the sun and moon in his eyes, and his back stood upright, towering like a mountain.
"In ancient times, the emperor opened the way and created the Totem Avenue, which benefited hundreds of millions of living beings."
"At the end of ancient times, there was a great deity who came to the world and opened up acupuncture points, which lasted for millions of years."
"What you are practicing now...is the method of acupoints, which I call the 'present method', while the ancient totem avenue is the 'past method'.
The Dharma I created is the orthodox path of the future, and will soon become the future Dharma of the present Dharma.
Just because of this——
Are you good enough to be your master?"
Although Ergou has extraordinary qualifications and amazing strength, he has always been wandering the streets in the past. In terms of his horizons and knowledge, he is not as good as the ordinary children of aristocratic families.
At this moment, when I heard Tie Tang's explanation, I felt surprised and confused, as if the door to a new world had opened.
"How can I believe what you say?"
"On the life and death list, the Emperor is ranked first, and I am ranked second. Who in the world can do it?"
"Then you haven't lost to the Human Emperor!"
"I didn't lose, I just didn't win. Moreover, the Human Emperor is also the orthodox pioneer of an era. His power is known to the whole world. You will know the inside story in the future."
Ergou was confused for a moment after hearing the words, and finally knelt down in front of Tie Tang with a plop and knocked three times.
"Disciple... pay homage to Master!"
Tie Tang accepted the gift calmly.
"To be honest, I didn't expect that things would come to this point. But you are the first preacher of my method, so I have no choice but to accept you as my disciple. If you become successful in your practice in the future, you can start another Taoism." p>
"Once you are a teacher, you will always be a teacher. Master, no need to say more. Disciples are not just people who are busy day and night!"
"Okay!"
Tie Tang was overjoyed and stepped forward to help the two dogs up.
"Now that you have entered my family, how about you give up the name of Ergou and use your real name again, which can be regarded as a rebirth?"
"Let the master tell you!"
"You have entered the realm of earthly witchcraft. If you want to practice my method, you need to abolish your cultivation. Now that you are seriously injured, my teacher will teach you the ancient method of Phoenix Nirvana.
This method is called ‘Chaos Mysterious Embryo Technique’…”
After seven days.
Outside Qingshui City.
A figure in a dark green Taoist robe emerged, his fingers trembling as if he was calculating something.
"This is it, there is no mistake."
"How did he come here?"
"This city... seems to be the second largest territory in the world... Well, it's a bit difficult to handle. Let's go into the city and take a look!"
The jade ghost face transformed into a middle-aged scholar, holding a feather fan in hand, casually passed the city gate inspection, and walked into the city.
He placed a corpse seed talisman in Ergou's body, and his soul was branded. No matter where he goes to the end of the world, he cannot escape his influence.
His original intention was to collect the body today, but he did not expect that the final destination chosen by Ergou would happen to be in Qingshui City.
After wandering around the city for a while, Jasper Ghost Face also felt the completely different atmosphere of Qingshui City.
It seems to be somewhat different from all the major cities in the world.
"It seems that this Iron Governor... is not only a peerless monster in cultivation, but also has unique views on government affairs."
Biyu Ghost Face did not underestimate Tie Tang. He knew that unlike Ergou, Tie Tang not only had outstanding strength and terrifying qualifications, but also had as many backers as possible.
It is not an existence that I can easily provoke now.
Especially after seven days of fermentation, Tie Tang's great reputation in Jiangdu City has attracted a large number of wizards and Taoists, including some immortal gods and even several immortal god overlords.
At present, Qingshui City has a vague trend of being a capital city, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Following the feeling in his heart, the middle-aged scholar finally came to a bustling street.
There is already a long queue here.
No matter immortals or mortals, rich or poor, everyone is treated equally and queues up safely, no one is overstepping.
And his goal——
Just ahead!
"Huh? Why are you in the Yanxia Cave? Isn't he dead yet?"
After all, Ergou is also an elite and extremely special human-demon hybrid. It is not completely impossible to survive for a few days.
The middle-aged scholar decided to wait for another day or two to see if the two dogs would come out of the Yanxia Cave.
At the same time.
Tie Tang, who was inside the county government office, was toasting and drinking with Tianpeng formation masters Fang Pengyi and Fang Lexian.
Suddenly his brows trembled, he stretched out his right palm, and a formation diagram flew out of his palm. The entire Qingshui City shrank ten times, and more than a hundred times, and a scene emerged.
"Another immortal god has come. Hedao realm...well, is the death aura so powerful?"
When Fang Lexian heard this, he immediately guessed something: "Brother Tie, could it be that the real master is here?"
"Nine times out of ten..." Tie Tang nodded.
"I would also like to thank my brother and Master Fang for taking the time to come here and lay out the Great Starry Formation for me in advance.
With this formation diagram in hand, unless it is the God Emperor, Immortal Emperor and his ilk, other immortal gods, even those who hold the Tao, cannot hide it from my perception."
Fang Pengyi sighed: "The complete Great Zhoutian Starry Formation is a world-protecting formation covering all nine states.
The formations in Qingshui City today may not be even one thousandth or even one ten thousandth as powerful as the formations in their heyday.
Used to detect immortals...it really ruins the reputation of this formation."
Tie Tang didn't take it seriously: "With this formation, the ordinary realm of immortality can't cause trouble in my city. I finally have a way to deal with the immortals.
Besides, formations have their limitations after all, and you have to rely on your own strength."
"Chief Tie, the formation is extraordinary. You really don't want to learn from me? At worst, I don't want this master-disciple status. We call each other brothers, and I'll teach you the skills on your behalf." Fang Pengyi was obviously still interested.
I am thinking about this very much.
Tie Tang smiled and said: "Thank you Master Fang for your kindness. It's not that Tie doesn't want to learn, it's just that he has no skills. I can recommend someone with the top thirty-six apertures. He may be able to teach you the Taoism."
"Oh, are you talking about the one in your house?"
"Not bad, what do you think of him?"
"You have to try it before you know."
"What's so difficult about this? Just go to him and say that I recommended him."
"Okay, I'll go right away." In order to find the successor, Fang Pengyi didn't want to wait for a moment and disappeared into the hall with a whoosh.
After he left, Fang Lexian asked again: "Brother Tie, since that man is in the Hedao realm and there is nothing we can do about him, what are you going to do about it?"
Tie Tang looked at the red dot on his right palm: "I can't do anything to him, how dare he mess with my clear water?"
……
In front of the Tianmen of Yanxia Cave.
Zhen Guandong and Little Pixiu ate and drank heavily, with a mountain of leftovers in front of them.
Full of wine and food.
One man and one beast ate until their bellies were round, lying on the ground without any image, basking in the sun.
When Long Yu saw this scene, he came over and kicked Zhen Guandong in a funny way: "My lord asked you to guard the gate. It's best for you to eat and drink all day long and don't drink too much, so as not to miss the official business."
"Hiccup~"
Zhen Guandong turned over impatiently, burped, and was so drunk.
"Your surname is Long, the Sa family is half a dragon, and we are brothers. Why are you so talkative?
If you have the skills to train me, why not practice it? I think that villain Ji Yingzhe will soon become a soul, and will surpass you sooner or later."
"You guys are really ignorant..." Long Yu laughed and cursed, but did not bother and did his job seriously.
He is now a member of the Street Department, and is mainly responsible for the order in front of the Tianmen of Yanxia Cave.
The long queue in front of the gate remains the same day and night, and from time to time there are happy and dejected people walking out of the hazy cave sky.
Groups of people with high expectations lined up longingly, hoping to get great opportunities after entering the cave.
As he walked, Long Yu suddenly tightened his eyebrows and realized that someone was secretly looking at him, and there was a sense of oppression.
He didn't notice.
In the long queue, there was a middle-aged scholar. As he passed by, his eyes suddenly shone, and he took out a blood-red jade pendant from his arms, with a black dot flashing on it.
"Is there such a thing? It really takes no effort at all."
The middle-aged scholar suddenly walked out of the team, walked directly to Long Yu, and looked at him face to face.
This sudden move naturally made Long Yu wary.
"What's important to you?"
"You have a predestined relationship with my Taoism, so you can worship me as your teacher, and I will teach you the supreme way."
Long Yu looked puzzled and looked at the middle-aged scholar like a fool. Before he could refuse, a stream of light approached quickly from the distance.
The billowing fairy charm filled the air, causing the middle-aged scholar to frown unconsciously.
The person who came here is also an immortal god in the Hedao realm, and his cultivation level is comparable to his own.
"Good boy, it turns out that you are here and I have had a hard time looking for you. Come with me quickly and you will have a chance." After Fang Pengyi arrived, he raised his right hand and was about to take Long Yu away.
But how can a middle-aged scholar be willing to give up?
With a pinch of his five fingers, a large handprint appeared in the void, cutting off Fang Pengyi's immortal power.
"Friend, everything comes first, first served. He is the one I like first."
