In order to facilitate subsequent operations, Zhou Daohai also inquired about some important links. In addition to the officialdom and the Jianghu, he also inquired about the grievances and grievances among non-human beings and monsters.
After talking about the Great Sage Water Ape and "Hua Long Gang", Zhou Daohai immediately grasped the key and stopped asking questions, but instead talked with Wei Hao in writing.
"In other words, someone wants to plot against the 'Three Princesses of the Whale Sea'?"
"good."
Zhou Daohai wrote his questions on paper, and Wei Hao sent a secret message to him.
After getting a positive answer, Zhou Daohai said thoughtfully: "I have a way to find out about this matter."
Wei Hao was shocked and a little puzzled: "The county magistrate should know that this matter involves the granting of titles by gods, which is the authority of Honglu Temple, Taimiao and other government agencies in the capital."
"Elephant may not know something. I am not responsible for the renovation of the temple of Our Lady of Green Lotus, and I have never officially offered sacrifices to Qinglongtan. Therefore, according to the court regulations, since I am a local official, I certainly have the right to use the
I asked about the matter on the grounds of "obscene worship". At the same time, it can also be used to inquire without causing any criticism."
In terms of procedures, Zhou Daohai cannot make mistakes, and no one can fault him.
He is just a mediocre official who is lazy in politics, not a stupid official.
Depending on the needs of his survival and position, he has a high degree of flexibility in changing his personality.
"Will the county minister encounter any difficulties?"
"No, I have been involved in officialdom for so many years, and there were people with prominent official positions in the same year. At the same time, my purpose has nothing to do with officialdom, but also to prepare for the future."
"..."
At this time, Zhou Daohai, accompanied by a group of monsters, actually looked so elegant and unrestrained. He was completely different from Wei Hao when they first met.
But thinking about it carefully, when I first met Zhou Daohai, I also sold my personal set.
But his conduct was far behind Zhou Daohai's.
After a long time, Wei Hao ate a lot and finally recovered a lot of his energy, and the little swallow flew back with great regret.
Not long after, the "Sea Patrol Yaksha" also rode a demonic wind and arrived here with Prime Minister Turtle.
Yasha was a little embarrassed. He held the trident, cupped his fists at Wei Hao and said, "Chief Xia Gong..."
"That man has helpers to take care of him. It's not that the general doesn't care. Mr. Chi Xia, have you missed something important?"
Prime Minister Turtle is not trying to excuse "Xunhai Yaksha". He actually knows his own affairs and Wei Hao can start a fight with others. The third princess's mansion only has so few available talents and cannot afford to waste them.
"It's best if it works out. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out. You two don't have to worry about it."
After saying that, Wei Hao reminded again, "You two just need to remember to protect the third princess."
"Red Knight is magnanimous."
Yasha was very ashamed. He had just learned some insights from the dog, but in the end he couldn't use them. It was really embarrassing.
"Let me introduce to you, this is the local noble man, Lord Zhou of Zhou County."
Zhou Daohai didn't panic when he saw the terrifying-looking "Sea Patrol Yaksha". Instead, he invited Yaksha and Prime Minister Turtle to come to the table, "You two came early rather than by chance. Why don't you come to the table and have a drink together?"
After that, he arranged for someone to serve him fine wine and added some new ones. After getting acquainted with each other, Prime Minister Gui completely changed his impression of this local upright man.
In the past legends, this person surnamed Zhou was always a master of Hexi Ni, and occasionally a Hutu official. Now it seems that if such a person is a Hutu official, then the Great Xia Dynasty's unification of Kyushu would be just like a joke.
There are so many talented people and they are wasted to this extent, how difficult is it to unify Kyushu?
Yan Xuanxin was quite depressed on the side. She stared at Li Mo all the way and did not miss. However, the person who came to pick up Li Mo had some weird abilities. The underwater "Patrol Yaksha" and the Prime Minister Turtle could not stop him, so they had to watch helplessly.
Watching Li Mo being escorted away.
Because of his depression, Yan Xuanxin always looked like a house swallow, sulking in Wei Hao's pocket.
After the impromptu cocktail party ended, Wei Hao said to Yan Xuanxin: "Xuanxin, you don't have to worry about it. Letting Li Mo go is just to catch a big fish in the long run. If I go after him, how can I let him go?"
Did he run away?"
"real?"
Yan Xuanxin was stunned, but still felt depressed. If she was strong enough, why bother?
"How can this be true or false? It's just a combination of several plans."
Afterwards, Wei Hao asked, "You are well-informed, can you recognize the origin of the other party?"
Through Yan Xuanxin's vision, Wei Hao could see the number of people coming, but he couldn't see the base.
“It should be someone from ‘East Wei’.”
"Dongwei?"
Wei Hao was not familiar with the cultivation sect, "Is it the same as the Nanmang Sword Sect?"
"'Dongwei' is the sect of Guanyang Mansion. Whoever wins the world will pay tribute to him. In Yanshan, there will be great monks from 'Dongwei' who appear from time to time. They are very powerful."
"oh?"
Wei Hao had no idea about the name "Dongwei". When he asked Gouzi, Gouzi said he had never heard of it.
Wei Hao planned to ask Zhou Daohai. At the same time, he also doubled the local book collection in Wutan County.
But where there is ignorance, you can always gain something by asking the classics.
At this time, Zhou Daohai, as the magistrate of Wutan County, sent "Xunhai Yaksha" and Prime Minister Turtle out of the city to "Qinglongtan".
Originally, the "Patrol Yaksha" planned to drive away in the wind, but Zhou Daohai's words made Prime Minister Turtle and Yaksha decide to sit in the same car with Zhou Daohai and have a chat.
"Tonight, I will report to the imperial court through the Qintian Prison, using the excuse of 'involving obscene worship' to inquire about the canonization of the 'Mother of the Green Lotus'. This matter is quite strange. I am the local official, but I have never done anything about it. I must
There is a problem. Furthermore, at the end of last year, the local city emperor’s temple collapsed, and then the city emperor disappeared. I have never received any entrustment from the dream, so it can be seen that something happened to the underworld."
There were two demon gods sitting in the carriage, but Zhou Daohai was not afraid at all. Yaksha and Prime Minister Turtle were also amazed, but after hearing Zhou Daohai's words, their faces showed worry.
Prime Minister Gui knew about his own affairs, so he asked in a low voice: "County Magistrate Zhou might as well speak frankly."
"You should have also learned from the elephant that someone is plotting against the third princess. I should be able to find out the clues before two months. Before the matter comes to light, I can also guess a thing or two, although I don't know who is plotting it.
, but the method should not change.”
"Please also ask County Magistrate Zhou to give me some advice."
Prime Minister Turtle quickly bowed and saluted.
"Seize the body."
"What?!"
"Who dares to seize the body?! You must know that His Highness belongs to the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea. Who can bear the body of a true dragon?!"
Both Yaksha and Prime Minister Turtle were horrified, and they even said in a deep voice, "Moreover, who dares to really murder His Highness?!"
However, Zhou Daohai was unmoved and said calmly: "Because I am responsible for the county magistrate, I cannot ask about immortality, but it does not mean that I cannot prepare in advance. Regarding the cultivation of immortality, my way is better than
The two of you need to be wider."
I wanted to refute it at first, but when Yasha thought about it seriously, it seemed that this was really the case.
The cultivation techniques accumulated by the human race amount to hundreds of thousands or millions. The accumulation from past dynasties is extremely rich and can be found in any direction and in any form. However, the expansion of the human race attaches great importance to order and efficiency, so the current division of labor has been formed.
Choosing between official position and longevity is also for the general stability of the dynasty's rule, and it is a king's art of governing.
However, the famous ministers who left the seal often became hermits and cultivators a few years later. Maybe they came back to the world after a dynasty. At this time, the reputation was often the title of a real person or immortal, and He is no longer the three nobles and nine ministers he once was.
It's as if the current Wang Zhaixing has left the "Orange Li Country". At that time, he followed Wei Hao, and he was ups and downs. Then he went through many hardships and got great opportunities. Now he is mentioned in the past more often, "Wang Shaoqing" The three words are just a title and a symbol. Its current identity is that of the guest of the "Red Hero Juren".
As a second-class tribute scholar, Zhou Daohai has a wide range of interests, so he naturally has preparations for cultivation after not becoming an official. After all, the connections and wealth he accumulated as an official are enough for him to cultivate and extend his life.
Many strong men in the cultivation schools are willing to cooperate with such officials for the sake of "merit". After all, the best way to achieve "merit" is to spend money to gain "merit" and "virtue".
The highest efficiency and the lowest comprehensive cost.
Zhou Daohai was the county magistrate in Beiyang Prefecture, a prosperous place, and the most important thing he lacked was money.
A county magistrate like Wang Fubo who makes money and takes the right path can generate income through the "Red Hero Talisman", let alone someone like him who is not very clean...
Therefore, Zhou Daohai didn't have any magic power at all, but he dared to say that his connections were wider than those of "Xunhai Yaksha" and Prime Minister Gui. He was really not bragging. Prime Minister Gui had cultivated for hundreds of years and had a lot of experience. He agreed with Zhou Daohai's words.
"Gong Zhou, please help me clear up my doubts..."
Prime Minister Turtle's attitude was very low, which was different from how he faced Wei Hao. He could also make deals with Wei Hao, but it all depended on Wei Hao's mood.
But Zhou Daohai is different. His mood does not influence the transaction, he only looks at the benefits.
"After the 'Chun Wei' period that year, I worked on books in the Hongwen Hall and consulted some banned books, among which were anecdotes from past dynasties. For example, in the previous dynasty, there was a monarch who, after abdicating, gave himself a unicorn head; There was a great Sima who cut out an infant who was less than a month old from his mother's womb and transplanted it into the belly of a female dragon. These methods are equally difficult compared to those of the dragon clan who seize the body."
Citing two examples, Zhou Daohai believed that given Prime Minister Gui's age, he should have heard of them.
Sure enough, when Prime Minister Gui heard that Zhou Daohai cited two examples from the Yu Dynasty, his expression suddenly changed.
Zhou Daohai then said: "If you directly seize the body of the real dragon, you may be in trouble, and it will also attract the attention of the elders of the real dragon. But as long as the soul and body are safe and sound, you can hide from the sky and make no noise."
"hiss……"
Yaksha and Prime Minister Turtle both considered it carefully and found that this operation was indeed possible.
"When I was in Xiayi, I had seen similar methods, but originally it was not to seize the body, but to eliminate demons. First, I used a magic weapon to confer gods and conferred the title of demon god. However, this magic weapon can only seal the Yin. god."
"..."
At this time, Prime Minister Turtle already understood, while Yaksha was still confused, but Prime Minister Turtle knew the pros and cons, and also understood why Zhou Daohai mentioned the collapse of the local City Emperor Temple last year.
Simply because the City Emperor in the City Emperor Temple is a typical Yin God.
The existence and demise of Yin Shen are actually just a matter of thought most of the time.
The powerful means of destroying the foundation of Yin Shen's existence are similar to the wandering ghosts, no different.
To put it bluntly, the Yin Shen and the Lonely Ghost only differ in status, not in essence.
"Secondly, use a magic weapon to draw out the soul of the great demon. The great demon has been conferred as a god. After the king has announced it to the world, he will use seals and seals. If the demon soul wants to return to the body, it will fight against the monarch's power and the fate of the country.
"
"Finally, destroy his body so that he has no choice but to work for the Great Xia Dynasty."
"..."
"..."
This method is not widely spread. The reason why forbidden techniques become forbidden techniques is that the officials can use them themselves, but they cannot be spread among the people.
Although Zhou Daohai was only a county magistrate, strictly speaking, he was already among the elites of the Great Xia Dynasty, and it was natural that he knew something more complex and profound than the monsters.
Non-human beings have to go through hardships to become human beings, but as soon as a human being is born, he or she becomes a human being.
Uniquely blessed, this is the only one.
"But what I want to tell you is the subsequent story. According to the records I saw in Xiayi, during this period, there was a minister of the Ministry of War who retired early due to an injury and later took refuge in Xishan to practice Taoism. When the imperial court killed the big demon, he
It happened that he was wandering around the world, and he made an appointment with the guardian attendant to burn his body and bury him after he had not woken up for three months. As a result, he got drunk in Yunmengze, and when he rushed back, his body had been burned. As a last resort, he used his connections to possess the big demon.
.”
"..."
"..."
As soon as these words came out, Prime Minister Turtle and Yaksha were stunned. With this method of the human race, wouldn't it mean that a large number of eyes and ears were planted among the demons?!
Even if not everyone is loyal, as long as there is cooperation, it is an incredible strength.
Zhou Daohai saw their thoughts and said with a smile: "Everything has pros and cons. When the national destiny is strong, the natural heart is towards Daxia; once the national destiny declines, naturally one's own interests come first. Who cares about the safety of the Xia Dynasty? I am still like this.
, not to mention the inhuman body and the monster of the human soul?”
Although it was said lightly, it still shocked Prime Minister Turtle, "Xunhai Yaksha". There were some things that he either didn't know about, but after knowing them, he felt numb on his back and his hair stood on end.
"You two, do you still think that it is impossible to seize the body of a real dragon?"
"Please also ask Duke Zhou for help!"
Prime Minister Gui looked sincere, but Zhou Daohai shook his head: "I don't have that ability. Only Wei Xiangxiang has such courage and strength. Some things can be solved without knowing how to solve them. For example, Nanmang Sword Sect's
Protector, if I gather the support of the people of the city and use the "Throw of the Universe", I can still suppress it. But, do I, Zhou Daohai, really know how to do it? Can I really do it? If I dare to do it, I can do it.
Here, there is only Wei Xiangxiang."
"Then what is Duke Zhou's intention at this time?"
"I predict that a big event is coming. 'Dong Bohou' or 'Nan Bohou' will compete for Beiyang Mansion. In order to protect myself, I must have extraordinary powers. But my current official position is still useful.
Therefore, it is not advisable to ask about the method of immortality. I do not have the destiny of "God-given light", so I can only borrow external things. Now, Wei Xiangxiang protects the way for the newly created law, which can bypass the power of national destiny. I
I hope that one of you will become acquainted with me and gain the power to slay demons."
"ah?!"
Prime Minister Turtle and "Xunhai Yaksha" were immediately shocked, and had a new understanding of this Zhou County magistrate who used to have a lazy and terrible official reputation.
"Don't worry, you two. Although I am not as good as many of my husbands in the court, I don't take the 'Feng Dan Dart' and 'Hua Long Gang' in my eyes. Otherwise, I would have snatched the 'Feng Dan Dart' long ago.
How can we let this wealth escape from my hands?"
"..."
"..."
Zhou Daohai was very sincere: "There is no rush in this matter, but it cannot be delayed. I know that Wei Xiangxiang will still make moves in February. With his temperament, he just killed the protector of the Nanmang Sword Sect. It might be a bit shocking."
This move. Therefore, I will make a decision on this matter before February."
After saying that, Zhou Daohai added: "If you two are not willing, I will go find the mandarin turtle in Taohua Lake."
"This matter, this matter..."
"Don't worry, Duke Zhou. I'll think about it when I get back and give an answer to Duke Zhou tomorrow!"
Prime Minister Turtle was a little hesitant, but "Xunhai Yaksha" was very cheerful, patting his chest and making a promise to Zhou Daohai.
"This is the best. I don't want to sacrifice the near and seek the far away. It is naturally the best choice to have the cooperation of the local gods of good fortune."
