At that time, Chen Ping'an went to Chenghuang Pavilion to find out what was going on, and Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng went to the county governor's mansion. They were already mentally prepared to hit a wall.
Unexpectedly, under the introduction of his son Liu Gaohua, the worried-looking Sheriff Liu quickly met the bearded man and the young Taoist priest in the living room. Not only did he not issue an order to expel the guests, he did not even ask Xu Yuanxia to show off her domineering sword skills, nor did she let Zhang
Shanfeng's mahogany sword flew all over the courtyard. After hearing the news from the two of them, he hesitated slightly and asked the two of them to follow him to the main hall. They were shocked. There were seven or eight people sitting in the main hall.
There are armored warriors sitting with swords, there are also elderly civil servants pointing at the map of the county and city, and there are several energetic and energetic men and women. They are practitioners at first glance. If they don't deliberately hide their appearance and breathing, they should all be
He is a Qi practitioner of the Three Realms and Four Realms.
Prefect Liu gave a general introduction. Most of them were local outsiders from Rouge County, but there were also outsiders who came after hearing the news, similar to Xu Yuanxia and others.
Xu Yuanxia focused on observing an ordinary-looking man with a calm demeanor. He should be a master who could only do nothing but strike with thunderous force.
Zhang Shanfeng took a few more glances at "Taoist Chongmiao". The old Taoist was drinking tea leisurely, and behind him stood two tall brass warriors. "Hercules" is the unique symbol of the Taoist Fulu sect, and many have no intelligence.
, will only obey some of the simplest instructions from its master, such as killing enemies. The combat power of a high-quality brass warrior is comparable to that of a martial artist in the third realm. He should not be underestimated and must not be regarded as a crude and stupid puppet.
Prefect Liu gave Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng, who arrived later, a general introduction to the current situation. Then he felt a little emotional and said sincerely with clasped fists: "Thank you all the righteous men for your help. If you can survive this disaster safely, Rouge County will definitely erect monuments for you and write them into the local annals."
."
Almost everyone sitting there stood up and returned the courtesy, saying some obligatory polite words.
Liu Taishou walked to the table. There were two maps placed on it. One was a map of the county and city situation, and the other was a map of the six counties of Caiyi Kingdom including Rouge County. Liu Taishou pointed at Rouge County and the neighboring counties.
Somewhere in between, "I just got good news. General Ma and the old immortal were watching personally from the top of the city. Six hundred fine cavalry have left the station and are heading towards our county city. They can enter the city and be on standby at Xu o'clock today at the latest."
, the two thousand infantry should arrive outside the city after midnight."
It was the first time for Liu Taishou to deal with this kind of accident. He was so anxious that his throat was filled with smoke. In addition, he had been running around here before and he had been on tenterhooks all day. When he spoke now, his voice was hoarse. He quickly took the old man from the staff and brought it over.
a cup of hot tea,
The old man on the staff who had been advising the governor's house for many years took the place of Governor Liu and stood at the table, pointing out each place, "Chenghuang Pavilion in the northeast, Embroidery Lane in the north of the city, Ma Tou Bridge in the south, and the hanging copper tower in the west.
, in the Zhao Mansion in the middle area, the six places discovered so far are all weird. The Chenghuang Pavilion has been closed urgently, and the two immortal masters who sneaked into it have not yet come out. Six people were killed suddenly in Xiuhua Lane, and 32 local households
All the people have moved out. A man-eating water demon appeared under the Ma Tou Bridge. I wonder if it has fled to other parts of the city along the river, which is quite troublesome. The hanging copper tower that was originally used to warn the fairy family on the mountain has now collapsed.
The old man guarding the pagoda also died suddenly. As for the Zhao family, more than ten people went crazy. They suddenly started to attack for no apparent reason, like a plague. Even two of the government officials who went in to check the situation went crazy, so that we..."
Having said this, Prefect Liu coughed slightly, and the old staff member stopped talking.
After all, it would not sound good if it was spread out, and it might affect the reputation of the county governor.
Because the Zhao Mansion was already like the Chenghuang Pavilion, the government sent people to seal the exits tightly, and no one in the mansion was allowed to go out.
The old Taoist named Chongmiao put down his tea cup and said with a smile: "This matter is of great importance. What Mr. Liu did was very courageous and was done for the consideration of the hundreds of thousands of people in the county and city. I believe that as long as the Zhao family has a little conscience afterwards, they will
Thank you Master Liu for your decision today."
The armored general sitting on the chair with a golden sword glanced sideways at Taoist Chongmiao, and twitched the corner of his mouth, full of sarcasm.
Liu Taishou was a little embarrassed and said softly: "No need to be grateful. If you can be considerate, I will be very happy."
He quickly changed the subject and sighed: "Fortunately, the old god happened to pass by our county, watch the sky at night, and discovered the strangeness of the gloomy air above the county. Otherwise, we would still be in the dark now. Once the incident happens, we will be
Those demons were caught off guard, and the consequences would be disastrous and unimaginable!"
Xu Yuanxia asked: "That vertical copper tower functions like a border beacon, capable of transmitting signals to the immortals on the nearby mountains?"
The armored general's face was full of gloom, and he nodded: "That's right. It's just that the demon was vicious and cunning, causing the county city to lose contact with the Lingxi sect of the Immortal Family nine hundred miles away from the county city. The hanging copper tower was originally
The secret technique used to send messages is very mysterious. It takes at most one stick of incense to inform the Lingxi Sect. Now, the flying sword message, hehe, the speed is acceptable, but the price is a bit expensive."
The armored general looked askance at the smug Taoist Chongmiao, and he really deserved a beating.
In the most ordinary Feijian summons, he actually asked for one hundred thousand taels of silver. Do you really think that you don't know the market price of the mountain station?
It is estimated that the two bronze warriors were invited, and Liu Taishou was secretly asked to pay for them.
The military commander is General Ma's deputy, and they have been fighting together on the border for many years. Although I have always disliked a nerd like Liu Taishou in the past, this time when the disaster was approaching, I watched the famous penman of Caiyi country running forward and back. Not only did he not hide in fear,
Under the bed, he also tried his best to maintain the overall situation, which made him have a much better impression of this civil servant. However, his impression of the old Taoist who took advantage of the situation was extremely bad. You, a Taoist from the side sect whose family background is all in Rouge County, why do you sit on the ground and raise prices? The county city
Destroyed, even if you, a Chongmiao Taoist, can escape and leave your family, disciples and ancestral heritage, aren't you afraid that in the end your family will be reduced to nothing?
Xu Yuanxia asked: "Prefect Liu, may I ask the immortal masters of the Lingxi Sect when they can come to Rouge County? How many people will come?"
The county guard smiled and said, "Fortunately, there is a thousand-year-old Cai Luan in the mountain gate of Lingxi Sect. It was once the mount of the founder of Lingxi Sect. After the ancestor passed away, Cai Luan never left the mountain. All the heads of the past generations can do it.
Ask it to do something. Cai Luan can carry five or six immortal masters on the wind. If there are no accidents in the Feijian message, I believe the Lingxi Sect will arrive over the county at noon tomorrow."
Liu Taishou sighed, suddenly raised his voice, and encouraged everyone to shout: "So I need to rely on you all to help the county and city hold on until the Lingxi Sect Immortal Master arrives, at least until noon tomorrow!"
Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng's eyes met, and their expressions were not relaxed.
Zhang Shanfeng was even more worried about whether there would be any accidents during Chen Pingan's trip to the Chenghuang Pavilion.
————
At the east gate of Rouge County, there is a towering two-story city tower with three eaves resting on a mountain, giving the appearance of a dragon crouching and a tiger perched on top.
General Ma is wearing armor. It is not new and bright, but is very old. It is covered with scratches from swords. It is obvious that it is the favorite thing of this border general of Caiyi Kingdom. There have not been many border wars in Caiyi Kingdom in the past hundred years.
There are occasional conflicts in Guyu State in the north, so warriors on the battlefield have always attached great importance to military merit. It is often the key to advancing in the military and climbing the temple. If General Ma had not had no one to help him in the court, he would have become a young military officer.
Boss.
On the top floor of the city tower, General Ma suddenly saw the old immortal looking in the direction of the Chenghuang Pavilion. He did not look away for a long time, thinking that there was another emergency, and asked: "Old Huang, but the demon inside has begun to show up and cause trouble?"
The old god with fluttering sleeves stroked his beard and smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I have my own way to win. The place we really need to pay attention to is the Zhao Mansion in the center of the city. This place is too close to the County Sheriff's Mansion. Once something changes,
, the consequences were serious. Fortunately, when I went south this time, I met two close friends, both leaders of the Zhengdao Immortal Family on the mountain. They were originally going to travel to Guanhu Academy together to discuss Taoism with the masters, but now they have to act urgently.
, regardless of whether it will delay their schedule, I have already sent a message to the two of them, asking them to quickly reinforce Rouge County. It is estimated that they will be able to arrive soon. By then, General Ma and I will join forces to guard the east gate of the city.
, one of the two old friends keeps an eye on the Zhao Mansion and protects the safety of the County Sheriff's Mansion, and the other one goes to the west of the city to take charge. Together with the monks and heroes in the County Sheriff's Mansion, I believe that this time the demons will cause chaos and will not corrupt the county."
General Ma cupped his hands and said gratefully: "If Mr. Huang hadn't been the first to discover the clues and tell us quickly, the people of the county would have suffered a catastrophe this time. Mr. Huang is still willing to risk his own life and take action in a righteous way. I, Mr. Ma, are a bastard."
People, I can’t say nice things, but I will definitely keep it in my heart!”
The old immortal smiled and shook his head and said: "If you practice on the mountain just for yourself to achieve enlightenment and ascend, regardless of the sufferings of all living beings, then what kind of immortality do you want? What kind of immortality do you want?"
General Ma hammered his chest armor with his fist, then extended his thumb and said in sincere admiration: "Old Huang, just by these words, you are really practicing Taoism!"
Speaking of this, the middle-aged military general said angrily: "As for some immortal masters in Caiyi Kingdom who only seek fame and reputation, especially those in the capital, huh, they are really shameless. They are asking for money from the imperial court all day long.
Building high-rise buildings in the Immortal Pavilion wastes people and money... Oh, don't talk about it, the more you talk about it, the more angry you will get!"
The old immortal put his hands behind his back and smiled calmly: "Which river in the world is not full of mud and sand? General Ma doesn't need to be too resentful. Since everything in the world is like this, just do your best first."
The general nodded, deeply convinced, and in his heart he admired the old immortal next to him who was profound in Taoism and compassionate at the same time.
Immortals are not only found in the caves and heavens on the mountain, but also under the mountain.
The old immortal once again used his magical power and squinted his eyes to look towards the Chenghuang Pavilion. Because it was too far away, the specific scene was blurry. It would be great if Mi Laomo was here, he would be able to grasp the surface of the mountains and rivers, so
It's only a short distance away, so you should be able to see it clearly.
However, he had just felt that the secret art formation of Chenghuang Pavilion was broken, and he was sure that there must be some guy who overestimated his abilities and was trying to be a hero. It didn't matter, he had already arranged a back-up plan there, Jin Chenghuang and both sides.
The statues of civil and military gods had been secretly tampered with by Mi Lao Mo for a long time. At great cost, they were infiltrated with the special incense that lasted for more than twenty years. For this reason, Mi Lao Mo also followed the three of them.
He was shameless and asked for three spiritual weapons before he gave up.
Therefore, some disturbances in Chenghuang Pavilion cannot affect the final flow direction of a large river.
After nearly thirty years of conspiracy, with the four parties working together, how could it be possible to fall short?
Unless a tenth-level land immortal descended from the sky and suddenly threatened to protect the Rouge County City, they would be able to stop.
However, they have already understood the movements of Shen Gao Zong, Guan Hu Academy, and the mountain sects of several major immortal families. It is absolutely impossible for any tenth realm Qi practitioner to emerge out of nowhere, let alone a big boss who has reached the Nascent Soul realm.
Shenlong has always seen its head but not its tail. To put it bluntly, if you really see the situation here, as long as you are not a well-known and upright patriarch, you have no idea whether you want to get involved or not.
The general trend has been achieved and the overall situation has been decided!
The old immortal smiled in his heart. He actually wanted to turn his head, pat the straightforward general on the shoulder, and tease him with a smile, "Brother Ma, your eyes are not very good. I am not a righteous immortal master, but
You talk about evil heretics that everyone can punish. The two most famous among the so-called immortal masters in the capital of Caiyi Kingdom are both my direct disciples."
These heretical cultivators are originally just thieving rats in the mud in the fields. What they want is not to open for three years, but to live for three years after opening!
After this incident, if you get the magic weapon, you will probably stay in seclusion for another twenty or thirty years, go to a place farther south, secretly plan a bigger deal, and then become a hero again. Maybe one day, you may become the White King of the Divine Continent of Middle-earth.
Although a being like the Imperial City is a member of the devil's path known to the world, who dares to call him a devil to his face? The vast majority of the upper five realm monks in the world also dare not!
