The calm before the storm is taking place in Beiping City. The powerful, wealthy businessmen and celebrities from all walks of life are making moves.
Yuan Datou wanted to restore the ancient rule and ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
Some people are extremely happy and look forward to accomplishing the feat of serving the dragon.
There were also people who despised him and criticized him with words and writings, and for a while, there was turmoil everywhere.
The city of Beiping was surrounded by this invisible undercurrent. Xu Ping brought a female ghost to Beiping City. It was like a lonely boat rushing into the undercurrent, but it would set off a huge tsunami.
"Brother Xu, actually I can do it by myself, you don't have to accompany me."
late at night.
Xu Ping was walking in a small alley when the voice of a female ghost sounded in his ears.
Hearing what Song Qingling said, Xu Ping was a little surprised, "Why, wouldn't it be nice for me to accompany you on this journey?"
Song Qingling's mission was to secretly investigate in Peking how many ghosts and monsters were arranged by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
As the saying goes, if a country is about to be in chaos, there will be monsters.
Although Zhong Kui is a Yin god, he also cares about the Yang world, so he made this arrangement specially.
The reason why he did not let the City God of Peiping do it was because he suspected that the Temple of the City God of Peiping had been infiltrated.
Song Qingling is a new face to the Beiping City God, who is very convenient for spying on information.
Song Qingling straightened her expression and said: "I know why Mr. Zhenjun asked me to come here. What he was thinking in his heart was that if I were in danger, Brother Xu, you would never stand by and watch."
Xu Ping nodded.
Song Qingling continued: "But I don't want to be a burden to you, Brother Xu. You could have stayed in Renjia Town and had a good rest."
"Some people are born to work hard..." Xu Ping stopped, looked around, and said, "And I didn't come to Peiping entirely because of you."
These words made Song Qingling's face suddenly darken, and her heart became filled with mixed feelings.
"Then what are you doing for..."
Before Song Qingling finished speaking, Xu Ping focused his eyes and showed a faint smile: "Next, I will tell you why I chose to come to Peking."
Xu Ping's figure flashed and then disappeared.
"Hey, this young master is so handsome. How about playing with your sister?"
A charming and wild voice sounded in the darkness, and a fluorescent white was revealed on her soft and slender waist.
Like the moon in the sky, big, round and white.
Looking at the arrogant cat demon in front of him, Xu Ping laughed obscenely: "What do you want to play?"
Talking.
He remembered the cat demon he had seen last time, which was completely different from the one in front of him.
One harms people, the other eats people.
The graceful girl was stunned for a moment, and her eyes shone brightly: "Of course I am playing with you, or you will be played with by him."
Xu Ping stared at her exposed waist and white moon, and said, "It's such a cold night, girl, aren't you cold? Is that so?"
"chilly!"
The cat demon continued to smile charmingly: "That's why I want you, sir, to warm my body."
Xu Ping nodded and took out the long object: "Then try this. Can it warm you up?"
The copper coin sword burst into dazzling golden light, and a golden sword energy flew out, instantly killing the cat demon on the spot.
Kill the evil spirits: the spring cat demon.
Reward: One year of Taoism.
This is the reason why he came with Song Qingling.
We know that there are so many experience bars in Beiping, so why not come here? Waste is a bad habit.
Song Qingling looked at the cat demon in astonishment. Before Xu Ping took action just now, he had always been kind and calm, and his eyes did not move away from the cat demon's slim waist.
She is working hard to learn how to attract the opposite sex like a cat demon, and the result...
Song Qingling woke up like a dream: "So Brother Xu, you came to Peiping to deal with these monsters?"
"almost!"
Xu Ping cast his eyes on the magnificent palace, and he could now confirm that the biggest evildoer in the entire Beiping City lived there.
"It turns out it's not for me!" Song Qingling thought dully, while Xu Ping looked around, his eyes filled with light.
Lean less.
Xu Ping withdrew his gaze: "There are no monsters or ghosts nearby. Let's go back."
Talking
He strode forward towards the inn.
After entering the room, Xu Ping sat at the table while the female ghost poured tea in her sleeves, very well-behaved.
"Tell me about it."
"Where do you want to start your investigation?"
Xu Ping took a sip of tea and asked.
Song Qingling frowned slightly and said: "According to Lord Zhenjun's wishes, we will start the investigation from the City God's Temple, so I plan to go and have a look tomorrow during the day."
Because of Zhong Kui's help, Song Qingling's Taoism progressed rapidly, and now he can appear in the earthly world during the day.
Before coming to Peiping, he visited General Qin and learned about it from his mouth.
The City God of Peiping was surnamed Wu. It is said that he was a Confucian scholar with outstanding literary talents. Because he had accumulated great virtues during his lifetime, he served in the City God after his death.
Step by step, he reached the position of City God.
They arrived in Peiping in the evening, and after Xu Ping's investigation all night, they only found three or two little demons.
Although the magnificent palace is filled with thick evil aura, there is already a faint golden light brewing in the evil aura.
This also means that the other party is indeed lucky. Under such circumstances, Xu Ping cannot take action against him.
If you really attack him, you will be more or less affected by the law of heaven.
This was only understood by Xu Ping after he had cultivated to this level.
But if you want to do it, you must have a prerequisite.
Cut off the earth's energy.
Xu Ping muttered: "When you go, be careful to hide yourself. I have something else to do and can't go with you."
Song Qingling nodded: "Brother Xu, I said before that I won't drag you down. You don't have to stay with me all the time."
So sensible!
Xu Ping touched her head and said, "I still have something to do. You stay in the inn and don't go anywhere."
Song Qingling hummed, "Then I'll prepare bath water for Brother Xu in the inn."
After saying this, she blushed with embarrassment. Under the light, she looked quite charming like a little woman.
Xu Ping couldn't help but look at it twice, then smiled, climbed out of the window and left the inn, plunged into the night.
The place Xu Ping wants to go is the magnificent palace.
Although he can't attack Yuan Datou for the time being, it doesn't stop him from taking a look at him from a distance.
He wanted to confirm one thing, whether the other party had colluded with the Japanese.
…
"Damn it, these Japanese people are really greedy. They already have the treasure island, and they want to get their hands on Fujian. It's really disgusting."
Inside the palace, the lights are brightly lit.
Yuan Datou tilted his beard and scolded his mother. The secretary on the side frowned and said: "Mr. President and they pretend to be snakes. They have already made the warlords everywhere displeased. You must not agree."
Yuan Datou glanced at him: "Of course I know, but if I don't agree to them, how can they agree to contain the three eastern provinces for me."
The secretary on the side was very young and somewhat energetic. He said hurriedly: "The ambition of the Japanese should not be underestimated. Mr. President, please think twice."
Yuan Datou raised his head in displeasure and looked at the young man in front of him: "Are you teaching me how to do something?"
"Don't dare!"
Yuan Datou snorted: "Even if I promise them today, I can take it back tomorrow, and the treasure island must return to my land of China."
"..."
There was silence in the palace for a while. After a while, Yuan Datou said: "Draft a message for me and tell those Japanese people that I can agree to their conditions, but I must see their sincerity first."
The young secretary thought about it again and again, but nodded and said, "Yes!"
He looked a little gloomy and was about to leave when Yuan Datou stopped him again and said: "Wait!"
"In recent days, the voices of the people are either supporting or opposing, or they don't care."
Yuan Datou's face showed expectation.
The young secretary thought for a while and said: "The voices of the people are both. More civilians don't care about this."
"That's good."
Yuan Datou smiled.
"but……"
The smile disappeared and Yuan Datou said seriously: "If you have something to say, say it directly. There is no need to hold back."
"yes!"
The young secretary responded: "The business community, the literary and art circles, and warlords from all over the world basically hold opposing opinions."
After hearing this, Yuan Datou frowned, his face under the lamp dark, as if covered with a layer of shadow.
"It's been this way for thousands of years, but I'm not used to it now. Don't pay attention to them. We have to plan and carry on as usual."
Yuan Datou ordered again: "Has the drafted list of canonized officials been confirmed?"
The young secretary replied: "Still confirming."
"ASAP!"
"yes!"
The secretary left, and Yuan Datou was left alone in the palace, sitting on the dragon chair.
He gently touched the dragon chair under him, then raised his eyes to the main hall, closed his eyes, and imagined that all the civil and military officials were kneeling before him, shouting long live.
"Long live!"
"..."
But suddenly, those opponents came to the front, and the black muzzles were pointed at themselves.
"boom!"
Yuan Datou woke up from his dream and broke into a cold sweat.
no!
If he ascends the throne like this, they may have already invaded Beiping City before he can sit firmly on the throne.
Think again and again.
He made a decision and knocked on the desk in front of the dragon chair regularly, causing circles of black ripples to ripple out.
After a moment, a figure appeared on the main hall as if thick ink surged.
"gentlemen!"
Yuan Datou stood up quickly and bowed his head.
The visitor's whole body was covered in thick ink, and his face could not be seen clearly. Just when he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed and he looked around.
Seeing his strange movements, Yuan Datou was surprised and said: "Why are you doing this, sir?"
"It seems like someone is watching us from the dark?"
like?
Yuan Datou smiled: "Sir, are you too nervous? If someone is really writing, how can you escape from your eyes?"
The visitor also felt this way. He checked it carefully and found nothing unusual, so he asked, "Why did you come to me suddenly?"
Yuan Datou said carefully: "I want you, sir, to kill a few people for me."
"explain!"
Yuan Datou announced a few names, and the figures standing in the hall sneered: "These people you are talking about are either holding heavy troops, or they are important people in various places. Kill them, and the luck you just gathered will be
, I’m afraid it will also be reduced a lot.”
Yuan Datou said angrily: "If they are here, even if luck comes, it will be difficult for him to become emperor."
The hall fell into silence.
After a moment, the figure spoke out: "I can arrange for their death, but various places will definitely fall into civil strife because of this. You have to think clearly."
Yuan Datou gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "No matter what, we must first be able to claim the title of emperor. If these things are broken, they can be rebuilt."
"good!"
The figure nodded: "Wait for my news."
Not long after, he suddenly opened his mouth and said: "The riots in the underworld have subsided recently. It is said that a person from the upper world was involved. I don't know the specific information yet, so you should pay more attention to it."
Yuan Datou said: "I will pay attention to this matter."
As he spoke, he suddenly smiled and said: "Speaking of which, we have to thank this person very much, otherwise we would have no chance to get rid of the Bodhisattva's control."
"snort……"
The figure gave a scornful laugh, was too lazy to talk to him, and disappeared directly into the hall.
Yuan Datou looked at the empty hall and sneered: "What's the air? When I wear the yellow robe, you will be the first one to deal with it."
Say it.
He got up and left the hall, preparing to try out the newly made dragon robe to see if it fit him. For him, the most important thing now was to ascend the throne and become emperor.
As for the people in the upper world who help the underworld to calm down the chaos, he doesn't bother to care.
…
"It seems that the news is true."
Xu Ping listened to their entire conversation in the dark.
Because most of his business is sent overseas, he also received some news.
There are rumors that the Japanese are sending troops around the land of China, but Yuan Datou has not taken any action.
"As for the figure just now, the power of incense is strong, and it is somewhat similar to General Qin. He should be the City God of Beiping."
The importance of the location of Peiping is naturally indescribable, and it is possible to serve as the city god here.
It also fully shows that this Confucian scholar named Wu is definitely not simple.
At least in terms of Taoism, he will not be weaker than Yan Jun and his like.
Now that it is certain, according to Uncle Jiu's prediction, he still has to go to Baiyun Temple.
Back at the inn, Song Qingling had prepared everything. After Xu Ping enjoyed the meal with peace of mind, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep like a scumbag.
The next day.
Xu Ping went to the famous Taoist temple in Peiping, Baiyun Temple.
Baiyun Temple is of the Quanzhen lineage. In its practice, it pays attention to the tempering of the body.
The strength of the body and soul is also well-known in the world of spiritual practice.
But at the same time, Baiyun Temple is also the most popular temple in the surrounding area, with an endless stream of pilgrims coming and going every day.
Xu Ping mingled among the pilgrims, holding three sticks of incense in his hand, and walked toward Baiyun Temple.
As soon as he entered the gym, he focused his eyes and spotted a very familiar figure.
"Why is she here?"
The person he was talking to an old man with white beard and hair was really Xu Ping's first-blood terminator.
Zhou Lianqing.
It's just that this beautiful woman, although her appearance has not changed, her temperament is completely different.
Recently, Zhou Lianqing suddenly found that she seemed to be extremely different from the inside out.
The skin is more rosy and shiny, with a girlish look.
But the old man in front of him insists on saying that he is a monster, has done something harmful to others, and changed his fate against nature.
She was thinking about Xu Ping and thought that if Xu Ping were here, he would definitely protect her.
