No matter how difficult things are in this world, there are always people who want to give it a try. The ghost kingdom on this earth was built by people.
In the same way, Zhang Yuelu also wanted to try to kill an ancient immortal completely.
Therefore, shortly after Zhang Yuelu was promoted to the eighth deputy hall leader, he led his men to leave Yujing and was responsible for wiping out a group of demons from the Lingshan Witch Cult.
Because Tiangang Hall has lost a deputy hall leader, which directly led to the resignation of the former headmaster Ning Lingge, Master Cihang assigned a second-grade spiritual officer to Zhang Yuelu as the hall leader to be responsible for Zhang Yuelu.
of safety.
Zhang Yuelu is not a person who doesn't know the importance of things. If something happens to her, it will undoubtedly affect Master's subsequent competition for the title of Grand Master, so she did not refuse.
Zhang Yuelu took the "Yinglong" and came to the sky above Yongzhou again.
The Taoist sect will not repeat the same mistakes. Just after the Jinque meeting, a first-grade innocent Taoist priest and two first-grade spiritual officials invaded Wu Luo's kingdom of God. Although they were fighting on Wu Luo's home court, the three of them had varying degrees of
The injury required several years of recuperation, but it still cost Wu Luo a sufficient price. Now Wu Luo can only close the Kingdom of God and lick the wounds silently. If Wu Luo still dares to come to the world rashly, then she will usher in her own
's first death.
This is undoubtedly a warning given by the Taoist Sect to the Ancient Immortal. If any Ancient Immortal dares to cross the Thunder Pond, then the Taoist Sect will not mind letting this Ancient Immortal sleep for the first time in his death, even if the Taoist Sect has to pay some price for this, with the Taoist Sect's
From a fundamental perspective, this price is not unbearable.
"Yinglong" began to land.
There is a manor about two hundred miles away from where "Yinglong" landed.
This manor belongs to the local gentry, and many local dignitaries will gather here to have banquets and have fun. It is a kind of courtyard that is not a palace. After all, this is not open to the public and is a completely private place.
For many Jianghu people, this large manor is heavily guarded. The servants and guards inside are all top-notch masters. They are undoubtedly existences like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. If you don't have the cultivation level of returning to true nature, rushing in rashly is courting death. Even if
Even masters who are in the stage of returning to their true nature cannot guarantee that they will be able to escape unscathed.
However, for the Dao Sect, this is just a stronghold that is not too difficult, suitable for training for rookies like Zhang Yuelu.
The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, the road must be walked step by step, and everything must have a process. Zhang Yuelu cannot be allowed to attack the main altar of Lingshan Witch Cult now. Even if Zhang Yuelu really has the ability to command and dispatch, it is not in line with the rules of the Taoist sect.
The Taoist sect has long known that this is the stronghold of the Lingshan Witch Cult, but has not touched it for various reasons. This has to be mentioned as a "cesspool" analogy. It is better to gather in one place and put it under one's own supervision than to destroy it.
It's everywhere.
Now that the Taoist sect wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, it's time to do something about it.
Zhang Yuelu did not wear the crane cloak that was worn through the door, but changed into the attire of a young master from an aristocratic family. Thanks to her superb disguise, her voice, Adam's apple, and breasts were all so perfect that no one could tell that she was actually a woman.
Standing next to Zhang Yuelu was an armored man with a cloak covering his armor. He looked extraordinarily burly. He was the second-grade spiritual officer sent by Master Cihang.
Then there are the principals including Lingquanzi, Xu Kou, Sun Yongfeng and others. In addition, there are some new faces, all of whom were principals who originally worked under Shangguan Jing.
Zhang Yuelu looked around the crowd and said: "Although I, as the deputy hall master, should not risk my life, I still want to see with my own eyes what the inside of this cult stronghold is like. If we break in directly, we will only
There are ruins all over the place and nothing can be seen.”
Naturally, Sun Yongfeng took the deputy hall master as his guide and immediately echoed.
Lingquanzi and others disagreed. The main reason was Zhang Yuelu's safety. If something happened to Zhang Yuelu, none of them would be able to escape the blame.
Zhang Yuelu did not emphasize his level of cultivation, but simply said: "We also have a second-grade spiritual officer, don't you think so, Xu Lingguan?"
Everyone was silent.
Although the spiritual officer is lower than the Taoist priest, the second-grade spiritual officer must be much higher than the fourth-grade Taoist priest, which can only be mobilized by the real person Cihang. In terms of grade, even Zhang Yuelu is not as good as this spiritual officer.
Xu Lingguan said: "I will be responsible for the safety of Deputy Hall Master Zhang."
Since the spiritual officer whose status is much higher than others has said so, it is hard for others to say anything more.
Zhang Yuelu ordered: "I, Xu Lingguan, and Xu Kou, the three of us will go over, and the rest will wait at the predetermined location."
The rest of the people accepted the order in unison.
Zhang Yuelu had three horses brought over, got on his horse, and headed to the manor.
She did not intend to sneak into it, but to enter it openly. As for the issue of identity, it has never been a problem for Daomen. Daomen can forge an identity without any flaws, and even have the ability to turn this fake identity into a real one.
people who exist.
The identity used by Zhang Yuelu is a false identity that has been operated by a Taoist sect for a period of time and has gained the trust of the cult demons. It is usually very mysterious and does not show its face. However, under this identity, it is the cooperation of several Taoist disciples, through the Taoist sect.
Huge financial resources create a false but extremely real character.
Zhang Yuelu used this identity not to pretend to be a pig but to see the true face of these cult monsters. After all, the cult monsters were trapped in desperate situations and fought as trapped beasts, and the cult monsters cried bitterly and repented after being caught.
Monsters are not what they are.
Zhang Yuelu was very curious as to why these people went against the Taoist sect, why they believed in the ancient immortals, and what they should be like in daily life? After all, if you want to eradicate these evil cults and monsters, you must first understand them. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
So Zhang Yuelu disguised himself as a young master from a noble family and came here with two followers.
The manor didn't have many doubts and let me go happily.
The person who received Zhang Yuelu was an experienced and prudent butler. He had heard about the reputation of this fake identity and was very enthusiastic. At the same time, he said cryptically: "There are just a few competitions. I wonder if Mr. Lu is interested?"
The fake identity Zhang Yuelu used was Lu. He was a young man who was rich but had not seen much of the world. This time he came to open his eyes.
Zhang Yuelu raised his eyebrows without showing any timidity: "What kind of arena are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense, I don't understand."
It is understandable that the young master from an aristocratic family is not used to those slang words full of worldly wisdom. The steward was not surprised and said: "There are some who box, some who play with weapons, and some who use fire guns. I wonder what the young master likes?"
Zhang Yuelu glanced at Xu Kou.
The reason why I brought Xu Kou with me was because Xu Kou used to be a Qingluan Guard, and he had been in the local Taoist government for a long time and had contact with various religions and sects, so he was more familiar with these Taoisms.
Xu Kou said: "Sir, generally speaking, fire guns end too quickly and weapons are too bloody. Boxing is better."
Zhang Yuelu nodded slightly: "Then boxing."
Under the guidance of this steward, Zhang Yuelu and the others entered a passage that slanted downwards. There were many forked roads in the passage, leading to different places.
The butler led the three people into one of the forks. At the end was a private room. The entire wall was covered with glass windows, which are very popular at the moment. You could clearly see the ten-foot-square arena below. There were seats scattered high and low around the arena. At this time, it was already
Hundreds of people were packed into the arena, shouting at the top of their lungs. There were many women among them. Their faces were flushed, probably because of the atmosphere, and they were not wearing middle coats. They deliberately left the collars of their coats open, exposing their waists.
Zhang Yuelu was stunned.
It turns out this is boxing.
There is no essential difference between fighting crickets, cocks, or dogs. It is nothing more than replacing chickens and dogs with real people.
Zhang Yuelu narrowed her beautiful eyes and concealed her unhappiness well.
The butler explained: "Sir, these glasses are single-layer glass shipped from the West. You can see the outside from the inside, but you can't see the inside from the outside."
Zhang Yuelu nodded.
The housekeeper pointed to a secret door in the corner and said, "If you want a girl..."
Just imagine how exciting it must be to have a bloody battle in the arena below and a fierce battle in this private room.
"There's no need for vulgarity." Zhang Yuelu was a conservative woman and refused without hesitation.
The butler said no more and said, "By the way, you can still place a bet."
Zhang Yuelu could no longer refuse and gave Xu Kou a look.
Xu Kou took out ten worry-free coins, equivalent to one hundred yuan of peace money, and said to the housekeeper: "Try the water first."
"I understand." The butler smiled happily. Although one hundred Taiping is not a lot, it is not a small amount either. After all, it is just the beginning and the days are still long. There is no need to worry about not having a lot of money.
The butler exited the private room.
Zhang Yuelu glanced at the expensive imperial concubine's couch that could accommodate two people, but did not sit down. He just stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his hands, looking at the arena below.
At this moment, the three people stepped onto the stage.
The host introduced the identities of the other two people. They were both well-known people in the world. They either owed money and were forced to enter the ring, or they were in urgent need of money and came here to box.
So it is conceivable that the other arenas use swords or fire guns, and maybe there are down-and-out Taoist disciples or soldiers of the men in black.
Zhang Yuelu said softly: "Taomen actually allows such a place to exist?"
"If the water is clear, there will be no fish." Xu Lingguan, who had been silent, said.
Zhang Yuelu was noncommittal.
Xu Kou said: "This kind of custom seems to have come from the west. After all, they are barbarians."
Zhang Yuelu sarcastically said: "It is said that barbarians admire the enlightenment of saints, but in the end they are enlightened by others? Who is the barbarian? Don't blame your own problems on others."
Xu Kou coughed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
While talking, the host had already left the ring, and the two Jianghu people officially started fighting.
At first, the two of them were a little cautious and kept going around in circles, but soon a blazing flame burned at the edge of the ring and began to slowly shrink towards the middle.
This forces the two of them to decide the winner before the arena turns into a sea of fire, and they must use the most ferocious fighting style.
In addition, the surrounding audience cheered almost like roaring and howling.
The two finally fought together.
The punches hit the flesh and blood flew everywhere.
