Li Gongfu suddenly looked embarrassed and said: "What are you talking about, Master Li? Master Feng is the junior fellow disciple of Master Chonghe. He has great magic power and is quite capable."
"It seems that you still don't know who your opponent is." Li Rong shook his head and said disdainfully: "It is the duty of a Taoist to subjugate and eliminate demons. However, Taoist magic is profound and difficult, and it is extremely difficult to practice. It requires constant hard work.
, if Master Chonghe were here, Pindao would not say anything, but Taoist Master Feng is so young, at most the same age as my disciple, what kind of magical powers can he develop?
"Spells are the same as martial arts training? They also require hard work? Aren't magical powers created by thinking together?" Li Gongfu asked strangely.
He has been a small official for generations, and has kung fu passed down from his family. He also learned martial arts from others, practicing Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer before he could reach such a level. However, he was powerless when encountering invisible monsters. So in his heart
, thinking that these Taoist skills are all based on talent.
Feng Zhou smiled and did not refute, watching the performance of Master Li.
He had communicated with the Taoist priests of Taiyi Palace and knew that Lin'an was at the foot of the emperor and had many talented people. The invincible Taoist priest Li Rong was also quite famous, but he was really nothing in the big city of Lin'an.
But this is also the most powerful Taoist priest that the Qiantang County Yamen can hire.
After all, in the Qiantang County government office, there is a saying: If you are unlucky for three lives, the county magistrate will be attached to Guo; if you do evil for three lives, you will be attached to the provincial capital of Guo; if you are full of evil, you will be attached to the capital of Guo.
All the resources in Lin'an City have fallen into the hands of those high-ranking officials and dignitaries. The Lin'an County Yamen can be considered as small as any other, and it cannot afford to hire more powerful Taoist priests.
Other Taoist priests and monks with high abilities serve high-ranking officials.
As for the monk Jigong of Lingyin Temple, I don’t know where he is wandering around now.
At this time, Master Li did not regard himself as an outsider. He sat down without looking at Feng Zhou. He took a sip of tea to soothe his throat and then said slowly: "Does Capt. Li know what it means for this monster to be invisible?"
"What does it mean?" Li Gongfu frowned and thought, "Are there any monsters that can't become invisible?"
"Of course!" Li Rong nodded, glanced at him and said: "Of those demons who can practice this skill, which one can't absorb the aura of heaven and earth and absorb the essence of the sun and moon? Those with amazing talents can develop into human form in a hundred years.
It takes two hundred years to develop magic power, and three hundred years to develop invisibility."
He looked at the disapproving crowd and sneered: "We often talk about the thousand-year-old demon and the ten-thousand-year-old demon king. However, it is not easy for a spiritual beast to open up its spiritual wisdom. It is even more difficult and dangerous if it can be cultivated for hundreds of years. If you can
It took three hundred years to develop invisibility. How many disasters did you have to avoid?"
"Throughout the ages, I wonder how many spiritual beasts with enlightened intelligence have survived these three hundred years? We humans can hardly live to be a hundred years old!"
"hiss……"
Having said this, all the detectives couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts.
A three-hundred-year-old monster may seem young, but how many years do we humans live? After the age of forty, our energy may have already declined.
Li Gongfu sighed: "Master Li is right. After I learned the martial arts passed down from my family, I studied at the Chaowei Martial Arts School. I once heard the master say that it is said that when we practice martial arts to the extreme, we can integrate the inside and outside into one, and we can generate internal strength."
, can compete with monsters that have been practiced for hundreds of years. I originally thought it was just a fun talk, but now that I think about it, it is somewhat similar to what Master Li said!"
"Your master is right. In today's world, there are only a handful of people who have mastered internal energy, not one in ten thousand." Li Rong bowed his head and said, "But there are not even one monster in ten thousand who can survive three hundred years. At that point, as long as you don't mess with any masters, you can get there even if the world is big."
The detectives seemed to be listening to a fairy tale. Some people did not believe it: "Is it really so exaggerated by Master Li? If there is such a powerful person, shouldn't the whole world know about it long ago?"
"Haha." Li Rong smiled proudly.
He stretched out a hand and touched the tea cup on the table gently. When he took his hand back, there was a sudden gasp in the whole torture room.
I saw that the teacup was pressed directly into the table, with the mouth of the cup flush with the tabletop.
He pressed the porcelain cup gently into the wooden table.
"This...this...is internal strength?" Several detectives' eyes widened in disbelief.
Li Gongfu was sweating in his heart: "If a hand were pressed on me like this, wouldn't I, Li Gongfu, die immediately?"
"This is not internal strength, this is Taoist magic." Li Rong said proudly.
He took a few steps back, pointed one finger at the tea cup, muttered something in his mouth, and yelled: "Get up!"
The cup suddenly jumped up and fell onto the table.
He pointed to the hole just made by the cup and shouted: "Recover!" The table was quickly smoothed.
"Awesome!" All the officers, including Li Gongfu, were stunned.
"Master has great magical powers!" His two disciples were also amazed.
This table and cup were turned into a chore in the hands of Taoist Li Rong, and they looked like they were just taking it easy. It was really shocking.
Feng Zhou looked on from the side and shook his head slightly.
This kind of Taoist magic is a manifestation of the strength of the top level of the foundation building stage. It is not easy for Li Rong to practice Taoism for many years, but it is not easy to practice to this point, but in Feng Zhou's eyes, it is not much better than a magician.
He knew how to press the cup into the table with one hand eight hundred years ago. Now that he has practiced Taoist magic, he is somehow better than Li Rong.
But in the face of this kind of ability, Li Gongfu was shocked and said: "I have heard for a long time that Master Li's Taoist and magical powers are well-deserved when I see them today. With Master Li here, let's see how arrogant those monsters are."
He said bitterly: "These monsters are not only arrogant, but also shameless. These treasury silver are tax dollars handed over to the national treasury, which are used to build bridges and pave roads and appease people's livelihood. These monsters steal tax dollars, but they are just If our county government cannot complete its tasks, I am afraid that the people of the whole county will suffer! So Li has been unable to eat well these days and cannot sleep well. After meeting Mr. Li today, I feel at ease."
After finishing speaking, he asked a policeman to bring a small box, handed it to Li Rong, and said: "Master Li, this is the deposit given to you by the county minister. After the matter is completed, there will be Xie Yi. In addition, the county minister will give you a deposit." He is a student of Mr. Wang, the Minister of Household Affairs. Mr. Wang is eager to learn Taoism. With his character, he will definitely treat you as a guest."
Only then did Li Rong show a satisfied smile.
This time he came to catch monsters, money was only part of it, but more importantly, he got to know the nobles in the officialdom.
He has been in the industry for several years, catching monsters, fighting ghosts, and dealing with local gangsters. He has always been very famous, but he just hangs around at the bottom. He finally made friends with a rich gentry, and was even raped by that Lingyin Temple man. The crazy monk stole the business.
Now that he had the opportunity to take over government business and make friends with noble people, of course he wanted to climb high.
Feng Zhou watched with cold eyes.
Here in Lin'an, talented people and strangers emerge in endless streams, almost as many as crucian carp crossing the river. Which dignitary's mansion does not have a few Taoist masters? Will they use him, a Taoist who is in the early stage of refining Qi?
Soon it was dinner time. Li Gongfu used the public money to hire a restaurant chef and set up a banquet in the county government prison room. During this meal, Li Rong naturally became the focus of the audience, whether it was Li Gongfu or the arrests.
So fast, I wish I could become a disciple of Li Rong.
It can be said that Li Rong's move really shocked them and opened their eyes.
After eating, Li Rong ordered a few people without hesitation. Li Gongfu, three of them were good searchers and sharp-tongued catchers. He and his disciple also practiced Taoism, but they were just getting started. In total, there were six people in total.
Go and settle down outside the warehouse, ready to slay the demons.
When he saw that Feng Zhou had been excluded, Li Gongfu hurriedly said:
"Zhenren Li, this Taoist priest was also invited by me to help. It wouldn't be a good idea not to let him stay."
"I have already said that he is young and just an ordinary Taoist. When the time comes, we will have to focus on taking care of her. Isn't that a burden?" Li Rong frowned.
Li Gongfu couldn't help but look embarrassed and looked at Feng Zhou.
