Bai Yingqiong sat behind the desk, supporting her forehead with her hands, not hiding her tiredness.
Last night, there was a fire in Zhenwu Temple. She wanted to direct the firefighting and calm the situation. She also wanted to give an explanation to her superiors and at least clear herself up. Then came a message from Master Cihang, who was far away in Yujing, informing her.
She asked her to discuss countermeasures with Zhang Yuelu about the Zhiming Cult. She was still a bit lucky, but after contacting Zhang Yuelu, she learned that Shuitang Workshop had been lost and there were a large number of so-called "gifts", so she knew that disaster was coming.
.
This is the fate of the Jinling Mansion, as well as the fate of her and the Jiangnan Dao Mansion. If it is not handled properly, it will be a huge disaster. If it goes further, thank God if it is not escorted to Yujing.
It was a matter of her own future, and there was no room for carelessness, so she stayed up all night, busy discussing countermeasures with Zhang Yuelu, and contacting various yamen to make overall arrangements and make arrangements from the center. The Jiangnan Provincial Government has been in peace for a long time, but it has experienced drastic changes one after another, and the top and bottom departments have not been able to cope with it.
, improper handling, ineffective work, she had to personally intervene. However, the real person in charge and several deputy hall masters had not returned, so she, the chief deputy master, had to make decisions on everything.
It was so big that it was comparable to a life and death battle. Even though she was already a heavenly being, she still felt physically and mentally exhausted.
Fortunately, around the time when she was ugly, Pei Xiaolou came back and could share some of the burden for her. Pei Xiaolou took over the follow-up matters at Zhenwu Temple.
At this moment, Zhang Yuelu was still at Shuitang Workshop, leading Tiangangtang's manpower to clean up a large number of "gifts" inside Shuitang Workshop.
But there is still no sign of Lei Xiaohuan and Li Tianlan.
That's it for Lei Xiaohuan. It's not that she doesn't want to come back, it's probably that she won't be able to come back.
It's just Li Tianlan, he is very free, hiding behind the scenes, making all the changes.
Bai Yingqiong couldn't help but feel a little angry. At this time, do you still want to put party struggle above state affairs?
But there was nothing she could do.
At this time, in a separate room in the Shuitang workshop, Qi Xuansu sat obediently, with his two big sleeves rolled up high, revealing his bare arms. I saw blue veins popping up on his arms, like tiny blue veins.
Jiaolong, this is because he used too much force and injured his insides. It is not a pure flesh wound, even the flesh and blood of the martial artist cannot heal quickly.
Zhang Yuelu took a gourd of thick medicinal solution from Huashengtang in his hand and dissolved it with water. He first poured a little on Qi Xuansu's arm, then dipped a handkerchief in the medicinal solution and gently wiped it back and forth on Qi Xuansu.
After repeating this several times, the bulging veins were no longer as swollen as before. Qi Xuansu tried to make a fist. Except for the severed hand that had just been reattached, it could already exert normal force.
Zhang Yuelu poured out the last bit of the potion, wiped it with his hand, and patted Qi Xuansu's arm: "Okay."
Qi Xuansu carefully observed the veins on his arms, feeling a little happy like a child: "Don't tell me, it really works."
"That's natural." Zhang Yuelu put down his sleeves for him and smoothed out the wrinkles.
Speaking of which, "Taiyi Yunyi" was also entrusted to someone else. Among the previous owners, Qi Xuansu was the least particular one.
However, Qi Xuansu was able to forcefully close the main water gate by himself. Even Xu Lingguan was surprised and couldn't help but look at him with admiration. Speaking of which, he was also injured on duty.
At this moment, a burst of cheers came from outside. Immediately afterwards, Mu Jin opened the door and came in, not hiding her joy: "Deputy Hall Master, Xu Lingguan captured and killed the big black fish."
The big black fish was the strange fish that had attacked him when he was at the Qixuan Suguan sluice. After the Tiangangtang personnel arrived, according to Zhang Yuelu's instructions, they began to separately deal with the strange fish in the major reservoirs, sedimentation tanks, filter tanks, and disinfection tanks.
, Xu Lingguan is personally responsible for the big black fish.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu each led a team of people to clean up at first. Later, Qi Xuansu felt that something was wrong. It was probably because of the overdraft of strength. The soreness in both arms was also secondary. The key was that some of the strength was not used, and it should be injured inside.
.
Zhang Yuelu led Qi Xuansu over to apply the medicine, which was a moment of leisure.
After Mu Jin, the big lantern, came in, the brief alone time came to an end.
Zhang Yuelu twisted the gourd and walked out.
Mu Jin glanced at Qi Xuansu, not hiding her jealousy, and followed Zhang Yuelu closely.
After all, the "gifts" of the Zhiming Sect are of the same origin as the Huashengtang. Although the Zhiming Sect will introduce different "gifts" every time, after the Taoist sect intercepts these "gifts", they will send the samples to the Huashengtang. Generally speaking,
Huashengtang can quickly crack it and develop the corresponding "antidote", which is also one of the functions of the Huashengtang branches established in various places.
This time was no exception. In addition to violent cleansing, Tiangangtang was also responsible for collecting samples and sending them to the Huashengtang branch in Jinling Prefecture.
Qi Xuansu got up and left the place and came outside.
This place is not far from the main sluice and reservoir, and you can see a huge fish carcass, which has obviously been killed in the hands of Xu Lingguan.
Qi Xuansu walked to the two of them and heard Zhang Yuelu say: "Xu Lingguan, you said that when you dived into the water, you found that the water escape in the Five Elements Escape Technique was no longer effective. I just tried it. The earth's energy was chaotic and the earth escape became dangerous.
Get up, if your escape technique fails halfway, you may be buried alive underground. The remaining fire escape, metal escape, and wood escape are probably unreliable."
"From a small perspective, if the Five Elements Escape Technique fails, it means that the Five Elements are disordered, the earth's Qi is out of control, and the next step is the reversal of Yin and Yang. If the internal and external Qi are isolated, I'm afraid of the 'Xun Talisman Array' or the Zimu Talisman.
, will be cut off from contact, and Jinling Prefecture will become an isolated city, unable to contact Yujing, or even other surrounding prefectures and counties, and the situation will be extremely unpredictable."
"Those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come. The Mingzhi Cult came prepared this time, and it is by no means as simple as spreading a curse." Xu Lingguan was also worried.
Zhang Yuelu made a fist with his right hand and lightly tapped the palm of his left hand: "This is also reasonable. Last year, when the Taoist sect went to war with the shamans, all communications were cut off immediately. It has to be said that sometimes the simplest is the most reliable. Xu Lingguan.
"Yes." Xu Lingguan responded in a deep voice.
Zhang Yuelu said: "Be prepared. If you really get to that point, you can leave Jinling Mansion directly and go to Jiangning Mansion or Qiantang Mansion. The Taoist temples there also have the 'Xun Fu Array'. We can't isolate the entire Jiangnan."
"Then...where is the deputy hall master?" Xu Lingguan hesitated. After all, he was assigned by Master Cihang to protect Zhang Yuelu.
Zhang Yuelu said decisively: "At this moment, I have become a heavenly being, and I have a semi-immortal creature. Even if I can't defeat it, it is not difficult to protect myself. But looking at the current situation, it may not be that easy to leave the city. Except for me and a few
Real person, you are the only one who has full confidence in being able to get out. If it had been anyone else, it would probably be worse than good. Let’s talk about morality and justice. Compared with the millions of living beings in Jinling Mansion and me, Zhang Yuelu, which one is more important?"
After Xu Lingguan heard this, he no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement.
Zhang Yuelu waved his hand: "Everyone performs his duties."
Everyone took orders one after another.
Only Qi Xuansu was left standing there.
He is the Taoist priest in charge of Ziweitang. There is no role for him in Tiangang Hall, so Zhang Yuelu can only arrange it specially.
Zhang Yuelu glanced at him, smiled and said, "Just follow me."
Qi Xuansu had nothing to be unhappy about.
When it comes to realm cultivation, whether the position is high or low, and even whether the ability is strong or weak, Zhang Yuelu is higher. Women are strong and men are weak. Of course, women should follow their husbands. It doesn’t matter whether they are afraid or not. This is an objective matter of the capable being superior and the mediocre being inferior.
According to the rules, objectively it is not his turn to make the decision. No wonder Qiniang said that it is more realistic for him to eat soft rice.
Zhang Yuelu walked towards the ground, Qi Xuansu followed behind.
At this time, the entire Shuitang workshop has been put under full martial law, and on the ground, there are also many spiritual officials.
Zhang Yuelu looked to the east, but there was no trace of the glow, and even the original bits of fish-belly white disappeared, and the entire sky became gray.
"This..." Qi Xuansu was surprised.
Zhang Yuelu's face became solemn: "The weather has changed. This time it is not just as simple as spreading a curse in the water. The Mingzhi Cult has a bigger plan. When I reported to the master before, I still downplayed the situation. I'm afraid it will
Let Master and others misjudge."
With that said, Zhang Yuelu took out another Zimu Talisman.
This time, in the light curtain transformed by the Zimu Talisman, there were only chaotic lights and shadows intertwined like the light of a lake, but not a single figure was visible.
Qi Xuansu subconsciously touched the talisman that contacted Qiniang.
Just when Zhang Yuelu was about to wave his hand to disperse the light screen, a figure gradually appeared on the light screen, but it was not Cihang, but a young man with a dog's tail grass in his mouth. He had a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets.
"Master Zhang, Taoist Master Qi, I have admired you for a long time." The young man said, cupping his fists.
Qi Xuansu asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
The young man grinned, his smile was bright and a bit innocent, like a big boy: "My name is Situ Xinglan, and I come from the Zhiming Cult."
