It turned out that many Qingluan guards had already mixed in among the common people, and they all drew out their "thin tiger knives" or "long sheep knives" and pushed towards the grass platform.
In addition, there are many police officers from the Yamen of the Provincial Government, holding iron rulers and chains.
However, these people are all acquired, not innate.
The biggest advantage of acquired people is that they are easy to hide. Regardless of the technique of looking at qi or spiritual awareness, it is difficult to distinguish them from ordinary people. On the contrary, there are some things that are difficult to see with the naked eye for people who are innate.
The "vision" will appear very eye-catching, which is why the woman can see Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu at a glance.
It was precisely because of her "clear eyes" that the woman was able to escape the pursuit of Qingluan Guards many times. However, she did not expect that Qingluan Guards also learned to be smart and sent out warriors, captains, and policemen who were just acquired talents, disguised themselves, and hid in the house.
Among the crowd, it would be difficult to be discovered unless one could judge his identity by his appearance like Qi Xuansu did.
The woman did not panic. With a wave of her hand, the dancers and musicians turned into little paper figures, and she put them all into her sleeves. This was similar to the Yellow Turban Warriors that Lingquanzi had used, except that the Yellow Turban Warriors were specially used for fighting.
, but these little paper figures used by women have no fighting power at all.
Qi Xuansu was quite surprised when he saw this scene. He had not been able to find any flaws before.
But this is not surprising. The essence of magic is to make falsehoods come true. As far as magic is concerned, it is not difficult for ordinary people to see the heavenly soldiers and generals turned into paper figures. Guizhen alchemists can do it, but they are definitely not suitable for use.
When the two armies confront each other, because the evil spirit of the swords and the warrior's energy and blood can interfere with the magic the most, there are very few alchemists and wizards participating in the battle on the battlefield, which is the domain of the warrior.
Fierce ghosts and their ilk are best at using magic to create illusions to harm people, causing them to scare themselves to death. However, if at the last moment, a person can burst out a burst of blood and courage, just like the blood of a warrior, they can disrupt and destroy the illusion.
It seemed to the person involved that after he had forgotten life and death and no longer had any fear, the ghosts and various horrific scenes suddenly disappeared.
However, if you can successfully deceive people and make others believe, the more people believe, the more real the magic will appear. As the saying goes, simple magic is actually a trick and deception. If you believe it, the thought of belief will be added to the magic.
It will make the spell more and more real. On the contrary, if you don't believe it, the spell will be exposed.
This is also the reason why many scammers who only know a few superficial spells can run a place for a long time. Because there are so many believers, their spells are greatly blessed, making the spells more and more real, and the more realistic spells make more and more believers.
The more it is, it’s like a snowball, and the snowball gets bigger and bigger. But once someone exposes it, you can only go away, because people here don’t believe it, and the magic will become more and more false.
.
The people who were watching previously believed that these dancers were real people. With the blessing of believing that they were real, the dancers became more and more realistic, and even Qi Xuansu hid them.
In fact, this principle can be applied to many aspects. For example, the famous Xumi object is essentially a miniature space made of magic and special materials. It can accommodate dead objects, but not living objects, because the blood will disrupt the normal operation of the magic.
In operation, if living creatures are rashly put in, either the living creatures will die on the spot, or the Sumeru objects will be completely destroyed, and only one of the two can be saved.
As for the legendary cave sky, it is already the prototype of opening up another world. It is a great magical power only possessed by immortals. It has truly completed the entire process of converting falsehood into truth, leaving only "truth" and no more "falseness".
So living people can also enter it.
After the woman put away the paper figurine, she took out a talisman. She was as light as a feather and flew up precariously.
This is the "Flying Feather Talisman" of the alchemist. It can indeed allow people to leave the ground and fly into the sky. However, compared with the flying flying talisman of the heavenly being, the speed is extremely slow, and it cannot be used to engage in combat in the air. It has great limitations.
The Qingluan Guards and policemen on the ground could only stop when they saw this scene.
At this moment, many Qingluan guards appeared on the surrounding rooftops, holding long blunderbuss in their hands, aiming at the woman who was slowly rising, and fired one after another.
The whistling projectiles intertwined into an invisible net.
In the blink of an eye, the woman was shot in many places, but there was no blood flowing. Only the red dress on her body was beaten to pieces, revealing her slender waist and slender thighs.
Qi Xuansu, who was looking up, heard Zhang Yuelu say before he could see the specific details: "You are not allowed to look."
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to look away and suddenly figured out something. When he looked at the dancing girls before, Zhang Yuelu had no reaction. He had probably noticed that the dancing girls were not living people, so he didn't care much about it. Now that they were living people, he wouldn't care.
Happy.
Qi Xuansu whispered: "The management is so lenient."
"What did you say?" Zhang Yuelu asked loudly.
Qi Xuansu said: "I said, you have already seen that those dancers are not alive?"
Zhang Yuelu said: "I didn't see their true colors, but when I used the 'Immortal Qi Watching Technique' to see these dancing girls, I found that they didn't have the breath that living people should have, so I speculated that they were not
A living person, that’s why I let you give it a try.”
Qi Xuansu was a little depressed. It turned out that Zhang Yuelu had known for a long time that there was no chance of an affair, so he said "I can't let go of the child and I can't trap the wolf". This girl is not stupid, and she has never been careless about such things.
In fact, Qi Xuansu still has little experience. If Qiniang were here, she could see that Zhang Yuelu had a bit of a big girl's mentality. She was afraid that he wouldn't come and that he would mess around. Taking a specific example, she just didn't want Qi Xuansu to go see other people.
Woman, but Qi Xuansu really wanted to keep looking at her, and she was embarrassed.
While the two were talking, the woman was getting taller and taller. When she reached the highest point, a cloud of smoke exploded, covering her figure. When the smoke dissipated, she was gone.
It’s not that there are no heavenly beings in Jinguan Mansion, it’s just that heavenly beings won’t personally take action for such trivial matters.
Several Qingluan guards jumped down from the second floor of a restaurant facing the street in the distance, swearing, or holding long guns or telescopes.
At this time, all the real people had fled. Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu stood out, and the Qingluan guards immediately surrounded them.
Zhang Yuelu gave his ultimatum to Qi Xuansu again.
Qi Xuansu presented the ultimatum to one of the leading test households. ??
The test hundred households took the ultimatum doubtfully and looked over it over and over, seemingly not believing it.
The rest of the Qingluan Guards also looked at the two men with eager eyes. Judging from their posture, they seemed to regard them as liars pretending to be Taoist masters.
Zhang Yuelu became a little impatient, and took out his Tiangang Hall token again and threw it into the hands of the tester: "The ceremonial certificate can be counterfeited, but this token cannot be counterfeited, right?"
The fish talisman system of the Qingping Society is modeled after the token system of the Taoist sect. Since the fish talismans of the Qingpinghui are designed as small Xumi objects, the tokens of the Taoist sect are naturally more impressive. This token of Zhang Yuelu is
It is made of fine gold, which is a special product in Kunlun Cave. It will not be damaged by fire, gold will not be cut, and Qi will not damage it at all. Moreover, this kind of token is not common, and the details of each hall entrance are different. Compared with the urn
The ultimatum is even more difficult to imitate.
The trial household was surprised when they saw the token. After a little confirmation, they hurriedly handed the ultimatum and the token back to Zhang Yuelu with both hands: "To be honest with you, Master, someone has been cheating in the city recently. This group of people cheated last time."
When we were young, we forged the ultimatum of a fifth-grade Taoist priest. We also had some enemies, so we asked the mage to forgive us."
Zhang Yuelu took the ultimatum and the token, frowned and said, "If a liar dares to forge the ultimatum of a fifth-grade Taoist priest, will the local Taoist government not care about it?"
The tester gave a wry smile.
, but did not dare to answer rashly.
After all, he is just a small trial household. Who knows what the relationship between this mage and the mages of the Shuzhou Taoist Prefecture is. If he talks nonsense and spreads it to the ears of the mages of the local Taoist Prefecture, then he will not be able to take advantage of it.
Keep walking.
Zhang Yuelu also understood the key, it was nothing more than inaction, so he waved his hand: "I understand."
Shi Baihu led the Qingluan Guards and the police officers to evacuate the place, leaving only the messy ground and the empty grass terrace.
Zhang Yuelu whispered to Qi Xuansu: "Don't rush to Huasheng Hall first, let's go after the woman just now."
"How to pursue?" Qi Xuansu asked directly.
Zhang Yuelu took out the "photographic paper" and saw that the "photographic paper" had turned into a paper crane and seemed to be alive, spreading its wings and ready to fly. Then he heard Zhang Yuelu say: "Just now I put another paper crane on the paper."
On that woman's body, we can find traces of her."
Qi Xuansu recalled briefly and immediately said: "You released the paper crane when you told me not to look at it?"
Zhang Yuelu glanced at Qi Xuansu in surprise and praised: "Smart."
Qi Xuansu waved his hand: "Lead the way."
Zhang Yuelu rolled his eyes at him and let go of the paper crane in his hand. There was a connection between the two paper cranes. The paper crane immediately fluttered its wings, circled in the air a few times, and then flew towards the southwest.
The two followed closely behind, and as they walked, they found that the location was becoming more and more remote, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians, and the surrounding buildings were becoming cramped.
Walking to the end, it is said to be a street, but in fact it is only slightly wider than an alley. There are no smooth bluestone streets, the ground is full of potholes, and sewage is everywhere. There are many low shacks built haphazardly on both sides of the street, with the eaves almost touching the eaves.
The location, dim light, and various smells mixed together made Zhang Yuelu, a woman who had lived in Yujing for a long time, couldn't help but frown and cover her nose with her hands.
Qi Xuansu could barely get used to it. It was said that it was easy to move from frugality to luxury, but difficult from luxury to frugality. After living in Yujing for several months, he was no longer accustomed to this kind of place.
Otherwise speaking, the mountains and the mountains are actually two worlds. On one side, the Taoist people are like dragons in the clouds, and on the other side, the ordinary people are still like grass in the mud.
In other words, this world is somewhat fragmented. On the one hand, the flying boats of the Taoist sect travel in the nine heavens, and the imperial armored ships travel across the four seas. But on the other hand, cattle are still valuable assets, and travel is still dependent on horses.
There are people with muskets and artillery, and there are people with archers and cavalry.
The alternation between the new and the old has just begun.
