Chen Ping'an did not directly say whether to stay or leave.
When he took Li Baoping and the others on a study tour in the Sui Dynasty, Chen Ping'an made every decision because he needed to do so, and he was not allowed to show the slightest hint of cowardice or hesitation.
Now that he is traveling alone in the world, Chen Pingan no longer needs to do anything for others.
Zhang Shanfeng was obviously at a loss as he looked around and asked, "What should we do?"
Xu Yuanxia fell into silence and kept drinking wine.
Chen Ping'an asked again: "If we stay and something happens, and the three of us force ourselves to come forward, is it very likely that self-protection will be a problem?"
Xu Yuanxia carefully considered her words and said slowly: "I'm afraid that the other party will cooperate inside and outside, and will win over the unintentional. If it were me, I would definitely try to suppress the gods of the civil and military temples. What's more, it seems that the civil and military gods here are affected by the formation of the ancient house and
The influence of the Yin Temple Mountain God has already weakened, and it is easy for mistakes to occur. Fortunately, I entered the City God's Temple before and looked at its incense, architectural layout and atmosphere, and it seemed that it was not bad..."
Chen Ping'an asked: "Can we find the City God directly? Tell him clearly about the matter? The county guards and generals don't understand the power of these gods and monsters, and if they really encounter something, they can probably use the power of officialdom.
Trying to shirk responsibility, but this City God is closely related to the safety of the county and city. To put it bluntly, Prefect Liu can hide and General Ma can stand still, but the City God will never escape. And if the demon really has a plan,
He will definitely be the first to target the local City God, so the City God must be more concerned than the official."
The bearded man's eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh heavily, and said in a deep voice: "It works!"
Taoist priest Zhang Shanfeng smiled and extended his thumb to Chen Pingan.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. After Chen Pingan opened the door, he saw the scholar surnamed Liu and his brother and sister Liu Gaohua looking panicked. Liu Gaohua sat down and poured a full glass of wine, "Do you think it's strange?
Just now, most of the Tianguan statue in the City God's Pavilion was cracked, and blood oozed out, dripping all over the floor. Not only that, but inside the City God's Temple, there were snakes, rats, and scorpions all over the floor. It was disgusting. Now my father has already passed away.
We sent people to close the gate of the Chenghuang Temple to avoid scaring the people."
The bearded man looked solemn, silent, and looked at Chen Ping'an and Zhang Shanfeng.
Chen Ping'an asked: "What's the situation in the civil and military temples?"
Liu Gaohua was stunned, shook his head and said, "I'm not sure about that. We locals don't like to go there, there's nothing interesting to see."
Facing Chen Pingan, the woman was still a little uncomfortable, so she only dared to sit next to Liu Lang, who was farthest away from Chen Pingan, and said in a soft voice: "I was serving tea and water once, and I accidentally heard my father mention it to an old Taoist priest who came to the house as a guest.
, although the incense in the two temples is very prosperous, it belongs to those who worship it and no one eats it. The old Taoist priest is also quite helpless, saying that the court really can't do anything about it. Caiyi Kingdom only has such a small share, and it is impossible to have another mountain.
Zhengshen was sitting here and said that if a reading seed could appear in Rouge County and successfully enter Guanhu Academy, the feng shui here might be improved. My father sighed and shook his head, saying where could such a reading seed come from?
Rouge County can ask for it."
Liu Chicheng looked confused and asked: "What are you talking about? What about Wenwu Temple or Mountain God? I am familiar with Guanhu Academy. It is right on the border of our Baishan Kingdom. I have visited there several times. So what can I do?
Can’t it be regarded as half a seed for reading? Miss Liu, don’t worry, Guanhu Academy will recruit a scholar from Baishan Kingdom every year, which is considered as preferential treatment to Baishan Kingdom. Maybe one day I, Liu Chicheng, can..."
Liu Gaohua rolled his eyes and said: "You can pull it off, the little ink in your belly is only a few taels more than mine."
Liu Chicheng angrily stopped talking.
His messy knowledge is useful for women, but not for scholars.
After chatting, the two siblings left. Before leaving, Liu Gaohua remembered something and reminded: "Over at the Chenghuang Pavilion, listen to my father's wishes. From tomorrow, martial law will begin in Rouge County. It is easy to leave the city but difficult to enter.
But it will be difficult to even leave the city without security, so Liu Chicheng plans to leave today. Where are the three of you? We agreed in advance that if martial law is really enforced, it will definitely be General Ma who personally intervenes. Then I, the son of the governor, can
I don’t have the ability to help you stay safe. If you want to leave, I’ll leave tomorrow at the latest.”
Liu Chicheng had already left the house with his sister Liu Gaohua, and they bid farewell to Zhang Shanfeng's house. Fortunately, Liu Gaohua was waiting beside him, so the young man and woman did not dare to flirt with each other.
After Xu Yuanxia closed the door, she tapped her finger on the table, "Nine times out of ten, there is something wrong with the City God's Pavilion. It seems that these evil heretics have a big plan. They just don't know that the City God in Rouge County is currently declining in cultivation.
, was restrained in the Chenghuang Pavilion using deceitful means, and was completely poisoned. The situation is now bad, but it is becoming clearer. The county magistrate's office and the nearby garrison should be vigilant. If we leak the information at this time, it will be credible
The temperature will be much higher.”
The young Taoist priest looked at Chen Pingan and asked tentatively: "How about we inform the county governor's office before leaving the county?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Then you and Xu Daxia follow Liu Gaohua and the others to his house. I will go to the Chenghuang Pavilion to explore the truth. The sooner we know the truth, even a small part, it will be easier for us to make the right decision."
decision."
Zhang Shanfeng didn't wonder why they parted ways, but he couldn't figure out why he didn't go to the crisis-ridden Chenghuang Pavilion instead of Chen Ping'an.
Chen Pingan explained with a smile: "One of you and Master Xu needs to use a sword, preferably the Gangfeng Formation, to show his master style, and the other needs to control the mahogany sword to fly around to show that he is the best at subduing demons and demons in Longhu Mountain."
Demonic Zhang Tianshi, what am I going to do? Boxing in front of the prefect?"
The bearded man laughed loudly. Zhang Shanfeng also figured it out and asked Chen Ping'an to wait. Then he got up and went to the house to unpack three talismans. Two of them were the lowest quality but most practical evil wind igniting talismans.
If there is any evil spirit or evil spirit, the yellow paper will burn on its own. The bottom one is the magical talisman also known as the Armor and Horse Talisman. If you add spiritual energy or true energy, you can gallop like a horse and control the wind with just one stick of incense.
It doesn't take any physical effort.
Chen Pingan did not refuse, put the three talismans into his sleeves, and joked: "Aren't you afraid that I will just run away?"
The young Taoist priest glared and said, "Chen Ping'an, you can't run away!"
Chen Pingan quickly waved his hand.
Zhang Shanfeng laughed to himself.
If Chen Ping'an ran away alone, Taoist Zhang Shanfeng would not feel sorry for the expensive magical talisman, but what he felt most sad about was that he lost a good friend.
The three of them separated at the door of the inn. Xu Yuanxia took Zhang Shanfeng and followed Liu Gaohua to the governor's mansion in the west of the county city.
Chen Ping'an happened to follow the scholar surnamed Liu who was heading east out of the city, but one went directly to the east gate of the city, and the other went to the Chenghuang Pavilion in the northeast.
Without the presence of Miss Liu, the scholar surnamed Liu no longer has the psychological burden of a scholar. He bowed his head and followed Chen Pingan, and asked curiously: "Mr. Chen? Are you the legendary martial arts master? Although you are young and just starting out, you are still young.
Because you are so talented and come from a famous family, you are actually one of the few masters in the world? That's why the slap that night was so insubstantial that I didn't even see your move. There was no fireworks at all.
Doesn’t that count as reaching the state of transformation?”
Chen Pingan said helplessly: "As long as a martial arts practitioner punches you, you won't even see the other person take action."
The scholar surnamed Liu felt that he had been greatly insulted, "Impossible! Mr. Chen, you must be a martial arts master who is hiding in the market. Let me guess, maybe you are the famous swordsman in colorful clothes who is famous in several countries. He belongs to his old man.
Close disciple, who else would carry two swords when going out? One of them is the sword 'Zhuyang' that the sword god used to travel around the world, right? Let me touch it?"
Chen Ping'an somewhat admired this man's imagination and didn't want to get entangled with him. He nodded with a straight face and said: "Yes, yes, that's Zhuyang. You have to be careful. The sheath is full of sharp sword energy. As soon as you pull it out,
If you use the scabbard, the sword energy will immediately cut your skin and flesh to pieces, are you afraid?"
"Not afraid."
Liu Chicheng shook his head and said, his hands that originally wanted to touch the sword box were already placed behind him.
After the two separated, Liu Chicheng continued to walk along the street to the city gate. The frail scholar suddenly raised his head and glanced at a figure standing on the city tower. It was the old god on the high platform in the middle of the lake. The old god was beside him at the moment.
Also standing were the armored General Ma and two unfamiliar faces, both older and older. The old god was pointing at the county.
Liu Chicheng clicked his tongue and said, "You're leading a thief into your house without even realizing it."
Over there, Chen Pingan quickly arrived at the square outside the Chenghuang Pavilion and looked at it intently. Because he was not a Qigong practitioner, he could not see any clues about the weather, but his pure martial artist's intuition told Chen Pingan that the red walls and green tiles of the dragon building were
The Chenghuang Pavilion with the fire glazed roof is a bit more bloody and gloomy than the quiet and peaceful one during the previous tour. It is like someone throwing a piece of charcoal on the ground on a snowy day. Ordinary passers-by may not notice it, but as long as passers-by have discerning eyesight,
If it's good enough, you can see it, and it's extremely eye-catching.
The gate of Chenghuang Pavilion is guarded by government soldiers and pilgrims are no longer allowed to enter.
Chen Ping'an took a deep breath, looked around, looked for a relatively secluded high wall, walked quietly, and at the same time twisted out an evil spirit ignition charm.
When he got there, while there was no one around, Chen Pingan crossed the wall with his toes, turned over and landed inside the wall. As soon as his feet landed, the talisman on his fingertips burned out.
It is obvious that there is no need to test the truth, it is already a real demon causing trouble.
Chen Pingan took off the sword-raising gourd with one hand and took a big sip of soju.
He put one hand behind his head and patted the wooden box behind him. The locust wood sword was named Demon Killer, and the one forged by Master Ruan was temporarily named Demon Subduer.
No matter how disdainful the boy in blue and the girl in pink skirt said they were a bad street and vulgar, Chen Pingan still felt that the naming of the two swords for subduing demons and slaying demons was very good.
Since I have chosen such a good name, I cannot live up to it.
Chen Ping'an gently pushed away the venomous snake that was rushing towards him. It seemed that he pushed it away lightly, but the snake's bones were broken into pieces in the air.
Chen Ping'an paid more attention to the two painted clay statues of Tianguan standing outside the Zhuqi gate in the distance. One on the left and one on the right, with blood flowing all over their bodies. There were also countless colorful venomous snakes twining and squirming, some as big as the palm of a hand.
Scorpions stand on the top of the head or on the arms of the statue, and are as black as ink, showing off their power. There are even rats darting in and out of the belly and cheeks of the broken statue, which is extremely bold.
Chen Ping'an recalled the bleak scene of the Immortal Tomb in his hometown for no reason, and suddenly became furious. He walked slowly along the wall, trying to keep his mind clear and his breathing steady. After all, the strength of his punches, the thickness of his energy and the speed of his movement were all related to those in his stomach.
The size of your anger doesn't matter at all.
