Taoist Nanhua and Zhang Ping'an left the inn and followed quietly behind the county government office.
However, when the two followed them to the gate of the county government office, Zhang Pingan suddenly covered his heart, showing a trace of pain.
Taoist Nanhua stretched out his finger and tapped Zhang Ping'an's body a few times, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyebrows.
"Although...the ability to detect evil contamination will cause you to occasionally experience physical discomfort."
"But it makes you feel so uncomfortable, it seems..." -
Nanhua Taoist looked at the county government plaque, and wisps of black energy condensed on it, and it was actually glowing red!
Continuously gathering, it becomes more like a ball of dark red flames, blooming like a bloody lotus.
"Red Lotus Karmic Fire."
Taoist Nanhua closed his eyes slightly:
"I see."
"This place seems to be fair, honest, and upright, but it has been parasitized by evil spirits and turned into an evil place."
"Peace, follow me."
Nanhua Taoist's nine-section staff trembled slightly, and the two transformed into bamboo leaves and entered the county government office.
The two of them arrived at the county magistrate's residence in secret.
…
But I saw many officials, all sitting there, frowning.
Among them, many of them were well-dressed and distinguished, but at this time, they gave up the main seat to the young county magistrate.
"What now?"
"There are more and more skinless bloody corpses!"
"This must be the fourth one!"
"Yes. This is the capital of the country! Once the people above find out, our heads will be at risk!"
While everyone was talking about it, the county magistrate looked impatient.
"Why are you panicking?"
Everyone suddenly stopped talking and everyone acted honestly.
This scene surprised Zhang Ping'an who was hiding in it.
Nanhua Taoist people seem to have become accustomed to it.
Before he left the border, he had calculated the fortune of Liu Hong, the current emperor of the Han Dynasty, and had also explored the general situation. It can be said that he was a dim-witted person.
Buying an official and selling an official?
That was something the emperor himself did.
All official positions can be clearly priced.
Anyway, the people who hold office are nothing more than these aristocratic families and the various social elites. They are picked here and there, and there may be no difference in the eyes of this emperor.
Secondly, it is to appoint eunuchs.
The entire court can be said to be ignorant and incompetent.
At this time, the young county magistrate was eating snacks calmly and said:
"A few of them also hold important positions in the imperial court. Why are they still so afraid now?"
"So what if there are too many skinless and bloody corpses?"
"Anyway, it's just a side effect of refining the elixir of longevity."
"If anyone asks questions, just kill them all and silence them."
"Now, with the help of my brother, the emperor will not care about these trivial matters."
"As long as the immortality elixir can be refined, everything will be fine."
1 All the officials looked at each other.
But seeing the person in front of them so calm and composed, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
While the technique was hidden, Taoist Nanhua couldn't help but frown.
Immortality elixir?
If the elixir really had such a magical effect, those of them who practice Huang Lao Dao would not have to work so hard.
In the final analysis, it is just a trick to gain power.
However, look at the current condition of this skinless bloody corpse.
I'm afraid this is not an immortality pill, but a recipe for refining some evil medicine.
Thinking of this, Taoist Nanhua closed his eyes slightly and began to make calculations in his mind.
Immediately, an official reacted, lowered his head and said repeatedly:
"That's natural!"
"Your Excellency Shangshu Ling, we are in the limelight now, so I can rest assured."
The county magistrate snorted coldly:
"Just understand."
"We are all in the same boat, so don't regret your choice."
"otherwise……"
In an instant, there was a trace of evil in the county magistrate's eyebrows.
The sudden surge of breath made Nanhua Taoist understand clearly.
I see.
It is no longer a human race.
But... is he a monster?
Just then:
"Bang!"
Suddenly something was thrown into the window
1 hour, thick smoke billowed.
"Ahem!"
"Who!"
"Someone threw coals in!"
"Get him!"
The officials rushed out one by one, with murderous intentions in their eyes.
It would be fine if all the topics discussed today were kept secret. Once someone brings it to light, the county magistrate will not die. They will definitely be the scapegoat!
At that time, there was almost a mess in the entire county government.
But I saw the county magistrate still sitting there leisurely, taking the cakes and tasting them calmly.
With a wave of his sleeves, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew away all the 4 weeks of thick smoke.
"Okay, no need to hide anymore."
"Come out."
"Xiao Xiao has been hiding for a long time."
At this time, Zhang Pingan was slightly stunned.
Is this... what I'm talking about?
Immediately, Zhang Ping'an couldn't help but look at Taoist Nanhua.
The Taoist shook his head and signaled Zhang Ping'an to calm down.
If his hiding skills could be seen by a little demon, he would have wasted hundreds of years of training.
really:
"Bang!"
In the smoke, a person jumped from the rafter.
This man's face made Nanhua Taoist very surprised.
It turned out to be...the Zhang Jiao we saw before!
However, Zhang Jue's chilling aura at this time was completely different from the thin child he saw before.
Especially... the scar on his face went directly through his eyes.
"Who are you?"
"How dare a young boy come to assassinate me?"
"Do you really know who I am?"
Zhang Jiao drew out his dagger and said coldly:
"Of course I know you!"
"You are the younger brother of Cao Jie, the current minister, Cao Paishi!"
"You two dog officials used the current emperor's desire for immortality to deceive them, but because of the sorcerer's request, you destroyed our hometown and killed my family!"
"I will avenge this hatred no matter what!"
Cao Poshi burst out laughing:
"Just you?"
But he saw him slowly stand up, and a ball of blood-colored light continued to condense in his palm.
Zhang Ping'an's eyebrows twitched, feeling the evil energy inside, and subconsciously looked at Nanhua Taoist.
Taoist Nanhua narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly: "As expected."
"No wonder the county government where he lives already has a karma."
"It seems that he killed many people, extracted their blood, and practiced some evil skills."
Cao Poshi let out a ghostly cry, pushed with both hands, and the bloody ball of light hit Zhang Jiao.
But a spell appeared in Zhang Jiao's hand.
The talisman was drawn crookedly, but the moment it was attached to the dagger, a burst of golden light burst out.
In an instant, the dagger turned into a long sword, and with the aura of purity, it slashed towards the bloody ball of light.
"Hiss!"
Amidst the sound of sour teeth, the ball of light was divided into two.
Cao Poshi's pupils shrank, seemingly because he saw his evil spell broken for the first time.
1 For a moment, I couldn't react.
"die!"
Zhang Jue's only remaining eye burst out with a ferocious light, and like a bad wolf, it rushed straight towards Cao Paishi.
The spelled sword sank into Cao Poshi's body in an instant.
"You first!"
"Then there's Cao Jie!"
"I will definitely kill them!"
Zhang Jiao's eyebrows were ferocious.
However, Cao Poshi, who was supposed to die, grinned:
"Is that all...that's it?"
The sarcastic words caused Zhang Jiao's expression to change drastically.
He reacted immediately and wanted to evacuate to the rear, but Cao Poshi slapped him directly and grabbed his shoulder.
For a moment, the pain of ulcerated flesh made Zhang Jiao let out a painful wail.
He is just a child of a few years old after all.
But what shocked Zhang Ping'an secretly was that even at this level, there was no trace of flinching or fear in Zhang Jiao's brows.
Even as he watched his shoulder turn into white bones, he frantically drew out his talisman sword and slashed at Cao Poshi's shoulder again.
"hey-hey."
"You want to hurt me a second time using the same method?"
"How naive."
Cao Poshi smiled coldly, and the blood-colored light ball in his hand quickly condensed.
This time, the blood ball directly turned into a huge mouth, biting the talisman sword.
Immediately:
"Crack!"
The long sword broke and turned into powder!
The spell also burned directly and turned into ashes.
Zhang Jiao finally showed a hint of panic in his eyes.
"Haha..." Cao Poshi sneered, "You have such a low level, and you dare to imitate others in assassination?"
"How...ridiculous!"
The blood balls in Cao Poshi's hands turned into two long swords and stabbed Zhang Jiao.
Key moments:
"Safety."
1 soft call.
Zhang Ping'an immediately rushed out like a rabbit out of nowhere.
The method of concealment disappears in an instant.
Zhang Pingan held a bamboo sword in his hand and blocked Cao Poshi's attack at the last moment!
Zhang Jiao was stunned by this scene.
It also made Cao Poshi's expression change.
Because at the moment of the fight, he keenly sensed that his evil magic was faintly... dissipating uncontrollably!
Taking a closer look, it was the bamboo sword that made the figurines.
"So this is your real assassin!"
Thinking that Zhang Ping'an and Zhang Jiao were in the same group, Cao Poshi felt vaguely uneasy.
However, Zhang Pingan, who was facing off against him, seemed to have become familiar with this kind of weird thing in the past six months.
The dancing bamboo sword, with an arc of light, actually outlined a spell in the void.
The talisman instantly stuck to Cao Poshi's body and exploded!
"Ahhhhhh!"
Under the shrill wails, the county government officials finally rushed over.
When Nanhua Taoist saw this, he smiled slightly, appeared at the door of the house in a flash, and said with a smile:
"You all have karmic obstacles on your body."
"Don't do that... help the tyrants do evil."
"Otherwise, the karma will come back and it will only set you on fire."
The government officials ignored Nanhua Taoist's advice and roared angrily and drew their swords at each other.
"It's really..."
"I don't know how to appreciate..."
Taoist Nan Hua's brows grew colder, and the nine staffs in his hands began to dance.
But I saw bamboo leaves flying all over the sky, like sharp knives, and pear blossoms falling straight down like a heavy rain.
Amidst the screams, the government officials were stabbed into four limbs by bamboo leaves, and fell into a pool of blood one by one, wailing.
"You don't have to lose your life if you help the tyrants do evil."
"But... from now on, be a useless person and repent."
