"How is Young Master Li? Have you seen my father? Just now I heard the sound of thunder and lightning coming from the backyard. Are you casting spells to slay demons? How is the monster? Are you aware of it?
Kill it?"
As soon as Li Xiuyuan came back, Du Wen couldn't help but ran to him and asked anxiously.
"Leave here with me tonight. Let's talk as we walk on the road." Li Xiuyuan's expression became solemn.
Du Wen nodded and followed him out of his home.
"Master Du, don't be sad if you say it."
Li Xiuyuan pondered for a while and said: "Your father, Du Ze, Mr. Du is dead, and has been dead for a long time. Maybe you don't know when your father was murdered by spirits, but I can tell you,
now you
My father is just a body here, and inside his body is a goblin."
"Is that really the case?"
Although Du Wen thought of this result in his mind, he still couldn't help but grieved after hearing the truth. He beat his feet and chest and wailed: "Father~!"
Although he is usually arrogant and domineering, and is a playboy disciple in the capital government office, but both father and son have lovers, so how could he not?
When Li Xiuyuan saw him looking so sad, he didn't comfort him. He just stopped and waited for him to vent his emotions.
Because of Du Ze's situation, he knew that it was his own fault that the Imperial Preceptor sent his subordinates to seize his body. If Du Ze hadn't been corrupt and corrupt, and had exhausted all his blessings, the centipede spirit under the Imperial Preceptor would have done it again.
How dare you attack a minister of the Ministry of Justice?
Do you really think that the Imperial Master can cover the sky with one hand and escape the cycle of heaven?
It was only because the Imperial Master took advantage of this at the right time that he could successfully replace Du Ze.
Just like Zhang Yuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, if it hadn't been for the assassination of Li Xiuyuan and the loss of his fortune, the Imperial Preceptor would not have taken action against him so quickly and would have had to wait for a long time.
Good fortune and misfortune are all brought upon by oneself, and one cannot blame others.
If Du Ze was an honest official and had profound merits, the imperial master would not dare to murder him. No matter what, at least his life would be safe.
Therefore, Li Xiuyuan knew that Du Ze's death was not worthy of sympathy. He could hate the Imperial Master's actions, but he could not agree with what Du Ze did when he was still alive.
After a while, when Du Wen had almost stopped crying, he suddenly grabbed Li Xiuyuan's sleeve with red eyes and said, "Can Mr. Li just kill the goblin who murdered my father?"
Li Xiuyuan replied truthfully: "No, your father's death is very involved. I came to the capital and I had my own plans, so I didn't kill the monster."
"I don't understand, why didn't Mr. Li, the evil demon who murders people like this, get rid of him? Wasn't that Lotus girl arrested by Mr. Li when we were in Zui Feng Tower?" Du Wen said excitedly.
Li Xiuyuan looked up at the dim sky and sighed: "Yes, I really should kill him. If it were me a year ago, I would just pick up the knife and chop him down. No matter what his rights and wrongs are,
But time has sharpened my edge, and I have to be more patient for some of the ideas in my heart.
It’s something I don’t want to endure.”
"However, although I did not kill the monster, I did seriously injure it. It is very weak now. If you are really determined to avenge your father, you can do it yourself."
Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan changed the topic and said seriously.
"It is only natural to avenge one's parents. I fully agree with this behavior. Not only will I not stop it, but I will also help. But you can kill this monster, but I can't. I have my reasons. I hope you can
Be considerate.”
He wanted to make use of the Imperial Preceptor's ability in the court to facilitate his actions, and did not want to be stymied by the intrigues in the court, so he had to tolerate the Imperial Preceptor's behavior.
At least I can't fall out with this national master for the time being.
"I, I'm just an ordinary person, how can I deal with monsters?"
Du Wen's eyes were red and he looked like he hated his own incompetence.
Li Xiuyuan said: "I can teach you the method. If you can persist, it will not be difficult to kill the monster that murdered your father."
When Du Wen heard this, he immediately knelt down in front of him and said hurriedly: "Please also ask Mr. Li to teach me some magic so that I can avenge my father."
"You must be prepared to endure hardship before I teach you the magic. Otherwise, even if I teach you the method of killing monsters, you may fail because of your weakness, and there are dangers in it. I can't give you much help.
, I can just point out a path for you. Can you be a father in the end?
Revenge depends on whether your own beliefs are firm." Li Xiuyuan said seriously.
"I am eager to avenge my father, and I am willing to endure any pain." Du Wen said firmly.
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, recalled the Taoist books he had read when he was a disciple, and thought of a way to kill the monster.
Then he said: "It's too late for you to learn spells now, because learning spells cannot be done overnight. If you want to kill evil spirits, you have to rely on external objects. You need to refine a magic weapon to restrain this monster."
"That demon is a centipede spirit. Although his skills are amazing, he was hit by my thunder method and his soul was injured. It won't take hundreds of years to recover. He is very weak now. You have a great chance of success."
"Before that, you need to refine a peach wood awl, take a hundred-year-old lightning strike peach wood, just one section is enough, there is no need to cut down the peach tree, let the carpenter make it into the shape of the awl, and then go to a place where chickens are raised
People, collect the blood from the combs of ninety-nine roosters. You only need the blood from the combs. You don’t have to.
Kill all the roosters, gather them together, and soak the peach wood cones in the chicken blood until the blood dries up."
Li Xiuyuan said: "If this wooden awl can be made, it can kill evil spirits with five hundred years of Taoism and below. The centipede spirit is already a soul body, no different from ghosts and gods. As long as you use this wooden awl to pierce his body."
, this monster will perish."
"But to make sure nothing goes wrong, I'll give you one more thing."
Suddenly, he took out a shining golden arrow from his arms.
"What kind of magical object is this? Can it kill the monster?" Du Wen asked in surprise.
"This is a divine object in the sky, the Thunder God's Order. It can kill all the evil spirits in the world who have lived for thousands of years. Don't think about this thing. You are not qualified to use the Thunder God's Order. Even if I give it to you, you can't use it.
, but it will arouse the wrath of the God of Thunder, who will rain down thunder to punish you, if it is your evil deeds.
If it's too big, it's not impossible to kill you directly." Li Xiuyuan said.
He carries the Thunder God's Order with him. This is a method he uses only when necessary.
Du Wen immediately showed awe after hearing this.
How dare he covet the arrow that can summon the God of Thunder?
Who in the world does not know the majesty of the thunder god in the sky, and who is not afraid of it?
"Thunder God of the Ministry of Thunder, could you please give me some thunder dust? I may have some use for it." Li Xiuyuan said to the golden arrow.
After he finished speaking, he saw golden light shining on the Thunder God Token, and thunder and lightning twining around it.
Small, but crystal clear things fell off from it, falling like sand.
Li Xiuyuan hurriedly used magic to collect all the thunder dust, and soon a small bag was filled.
"That's enough. There are so many. Thank you so much for Lei Gong's generosity." He thanked him.
Although Lei Gong obeys orders under his command, he is still very polite to one of the few upright gods in the world.
Soon, the God of Thunder made the lightning disappear, and the magic was no longer there.
Li Xiuyuan gave the bag to Du Wen and said: "This is the thunder dust formed by the thunder and lightning controlled by the Thunder God in the sky. This thing has the breath of the Thunder God, and it has the power to kill evil spirits. Take this thing,
If you encounter a powerful evil spirit, you can grab a handful of thunder dust and throw it out.
It’s strange to see everyone who is not scared.”
"But remember, this thing is good at repelling demons, but it's still not good at killing ghosts. Besides, the quantity is not much, so use it sparingly, as it will be gone after you use it."
Du Wen burst into tears of gratitude and solemnly took the bag of thunder dust.
I couldn't help but open it and take a look, but I felt a hot breath blowing towards my face. The bag contained countless thin stones, which were dark but crystal clear and reflected light.
"That's all I can help you with. You still have nine thousand taels of silver left in my escort agency. This silver should be the last money you get from your father. Save it and marry me later.
You can use your wife to have children, buy a house, and farmland. If you squander it, the rest of your life will probably be ruined.
I'm going to end up in poverty, which is probably the outcome you don't want to see."
Li Xiu traveled far.
He has some understanding of destiny. After Du Wen experienced such an accident, he still had ten thousand taels of silver with him. Although he spent one thousand taels on buying skills, the fact that he had so much money left should be a sign of his wealth.
change.
A person's financial fortune is determined by nature.
Taoists who can tell fortunes can see how much money a person will have in his lifetime by looking at his wealth.
Of course, your destiny is also subject to change. It will change, increase or decrease, based on your good or bad behavior. This is partly due to the protection of your ancestors and the persistence of your evil virtues.
After doing this, Li Xiuyuan asked Du Wen to go back to the escort agency to rest for the night.
But early the next morning, Du Wen took several hundred taels of silver with him, hired several escorts from the escort agency, and went out. The rest of the money was entrusted to the escort agency for safekeeping, because he would still have to come back to pick it up in the future.
, it is safer to put it here.
When Li Xiuyuan woke up, he didn't know that Du Wen had left immediately.
Of course it doesn't feel strange.
Everyone can understand the desire to avenge his father.
To be honest, he also hates the way the Imperial Preceptor steals people's bodies and controls the court. But now the Imperial Preceptor does not harm the people or the world, but only corrupt officials. He can tolerate it for the time being.
After the ghosts and gods from the south enter the capital, they will replace these forces in the capital.
after implementing his own governance plan in the south.
Then there will be a battle of wits with this national master.
The Imperial Master also knows this. It is not easy for him to fall out with Li Xiuyuan now, and he still needs to rely on the power of a saint in the world.
"Looking around, there are enemies everywhere. It is indeed difficult to win this game of chess in Beijing. But if I can win this game in Beijing, my ideal will be achieved, and I will have no other pursuits in this life."
Li Xiuyuan stood with his hands behind his hands in the courtyard, looking at the white lotus swaying slightly in the water tank.
The blooms are still so bright and pleasing to the eye, and one can't help but forget that this white lotus once turned into a witch and compensated for the evil deeds of more than sixty men.
