After receiving the instructions from his teacher, Tang Feng left Hanzhou and went straight south. After hurriedly traveling for several days, he arrived at the foot of a low hill outside Qingyang territory.
He took out the talisman he carried with him and followed it away. Finally, his body sank down, falling from a rough sandy ground that looked normal on the surface, and entered a huge cave.
.
As soon as he entered the bottom, he saw red and black evil rivers surging all around. He followed the floating talisman for a long time, and saw a vague figure trapped on a jade plate in front of him. He was trapped by this evil spirit.
The evil energy of the earth shrouded it, making it difficult to see clearly.
His cultivation level was not as good as Gongsun Min. After using his magic power several times, he got rid of the turbid and evil feeling emanating from these evil spirits. He started to chant the mantra according to the method taught by Master Bai Xiu.
After a while, the whole cave shook slightly, and then a white light flew over and fell into his hands. He covered it with the fabric he had prepared in advance and put it into his sleeve. He did not dare to stay here longer and hurriedly
Out of here.
Not long after he left, the two evil rivers of red and black were originally running in both directions, but now they gradually merged, and then gradually turned into a deep purple evil spirit.
The figure tied to the big jade disk was originally motionless, but now it seemed to be shaking slightly, and the chain that locked him made a slight sound. After a while, he fell asleep again, but that
The color of the evil spirit became darker and turbid.
In Yuanwu County, Guangzhou, where the General Directorate of the Procuratorate is located, Meng Yan, the imperial envoy, was entertaining a middle-aged official in his forties in the guest hall.
The middle-aged official said with a sincere look: "Mr. Meng, Xuan Ting appointed you to supervise the situation in the continent, and you also established the Prosecution Department with your own hands, but now that Zhang Xuanzheng..."
He pointed outward with his hand, "That Zhang Xuanzheng, he openly and openly stole the rights and responsibilities that originally belonged to you. Is it possible that Lord Meng just looked at it and didn't ask questions?"
Meng Yan suddenly looked at the middle-aged official, who felt unnatural for a moment under his sharp gaze, and said: "Your Majesty?"
Meng Yan said slowly: "Why are you so concerned about the affairs of our Procuratorate?"
The middle-aged official was stunned for a moment, and then made an angry look and said, "Your Majesty, I can't bear to see this matter."
Meng Yan stroked his beard and said, "What I do is up to me and it has nothing to do with you."
The middle-aged official was about to say more, but Meng Yan raised his hand to block his words and said: "Don't think that I don't know your sneaky thoughts. It sounds like they are just a group of villains, but those people are better than you."
Be smart, at least they won't say this in front of me, only you people who talk about things can do such stupid things."
When the middle-aged official heard this, his expression changed. He stood up suddenly and said angrily: "I came here to persuade you out of good intentions. Not only did you not accept your kindness, but you also made insulting remarks. What is this?
reason?"
Meng Yan looked at him and said: "The Prosecutor's Office is never a place to reason with others. If you want to reason with others, Zhao Yicheng is in the wrong place."
These words made the middle-aged official choke on his words, and finally he could only walk away angrily.
Meng Yan knew that what he just said was undoubtedly an enmity with this person, but he didn't take it seriously at all. As the supervisor, he was responsible for supervising the Qingyang Mansion. If he had a good relationship with the officials in the continent, then
That's the problem.
As for Zhang Yu's use of the power to prosecute the chief minister, he didn't think much of it, because Zhang Yu was not fighting for power, but doing business. Besides, he had the title of Xuanting, so there was no problem in name.
In fact, in the past, he had little involvement in the specific operations of the Prosecution Department. It was just that there was no suitable candidate for the time being, and he was the first to propose it, so he was placed under his supervision.
After all, such a government office that offends people everywhere will never be able to accomplish anything without the support of enough important officials.
But at this time, his expression gradually became serious, and he called to the attendant: "Go and call Master Xue and Zheng Sicha."
After a while, Xue Zhi, the head of the Prosecution Department, and Zheng Jiu, the chief inspector, came to the hall. They bowed to him and said, "I have met the envoy."
Meng Yan looked at the two of them and said: "I called you here to tell you that the situation is not right recently and we need to make some necessary preparations."
Xue Zhi asked: "What did the envoy say?"
Meng Yan said in a deep voice: "Zhang Xuanzheng and Master Bai Xiu are going to fight in the East China Sea in the near future. Even if Zhang Xuanzheng wins this battle, things will not calm down. They will only get more intense."
Zheng Jiu said at this time: "What if... Zhang Xuanzheng's side loses?"
Meng Yan shook his head and said: "You have been in the Prosecution and Justice Department for so many years, and you must have understood exactly what Henry Zhang is trying to do, and since this matter has started, it can't stop anymore. The Prosecution and Justice Department is already in the middle of the game.
, if Zhang Xuanzheng is defeated, then there will no longer be a prosecutor in Qingyang Continent."
Zheng Jiu was slightly startled and said: "The envoy is saying that the two governments will abolish the Prosecution Department? But the Prosecution Department was established by Xuan Ting's permission, and the parasitic nightmare in Qingyang Shangzhou is still there. Without the Prosecution Department,
Who is going to deal with these things?”
Xue Zhi said at this time: "No, even if the Prosecution Department is not here, as long as the people from the Prosecution Department are still there." He said coldly: "Is this kind of thing difficult to do? It's not difficult. Not everyone in the Prosecution Department can do it.
He is dedicated to serving the public good, and there are people waiting to rise to the top."
Zheng Jiu was shocked. He also figured it out at this moment. The Prosecution Department was abolished. As long as those original people were still there, they could still deal with the parasitic nightmare. But in this way, the Prosecution Department, as a powerful government agency, could not
It completely ceases to exist.
Meng Yan said in a deep voice: "Even if the Procuratorate is withdrawn, as long as there is no serious civil strife in Qingyang Shangzhou and the same precautions against the Nightmare Parasite are maintained as before, Xuan Ting and Yu Jing may not come to intervene.
, maybe we will just acquiesce.”
Zheng Jiu felt cold sweat oozing out from his back. He felt a little anxious and said, "But your Majesty, couldn't your Majesty report the situation here?"
Meng Yan said: "My words alone will not be of much use. I expect that the observer from Yujing must be in Qingyang Continent at this moment. If the observer thinks that this move will not affect the overall situation, then the above will not
There will be trouble."
He looked at the two of them, "So Henry Zhang is the key. If we win this victory, then everything is easy to say. It's just a fight with this generation to the end. But if we lose, we can't just sit back and die. In this emergency, it's impossible to follow the usual routine."
Here are the rules. Listen, you two, from now on, we need to make some necessary arrangements."
On top of the Flame Peak of Qiu Mountain, Zhang Yu slowly opened his eyes. Immediately, a stream of essence came out from inside, and then disappeared, as if the starlight flickered.
More than ten days have passed since this sit-down, and it is now the end of August, and there are only three days left before the first day of September.
He stood up and looked towards the Qiu Mountain Mountains not far away. The sun was shining in the sky at the moment, and the majestic gray-blue mountains and the everlasting white snow tops were all bathed in a golden light.
And the majestic outline of the big green banyan tree is also hidden in the sky in the distance. Seeing this scene, I can't help but feel the greatness of heaven and earth and the insignificance of human body.
However, as long as a person exists in the world, there are infinite possibilities, especially for a Taoist monk. There are infinite avenues waiting for him to pursue. One day, he may not be able to climb up to the sky to embrace the sun and the moon.
He stood quietly for a while, and in a flash, he had left the mountain peak. Only half a moment later, he returned to the Liangzhou Prosecutor's Office.
Wen Liang and Shi Yue had been waiting here. When they saw Dun Guang and knew he was coming back, they immediately came out, came up and bowed, saying: "Xuan Zheng."
Zhang Yu said: "Did anything happen while I was away?" Shi Yue said: "Everything is the same as before, nothing happened."
Zhang Yu asked: "Is everyone here?"
Wen Liang said: "According to Xuan Zheng's instructions, all the fellow Taoists have arrived. It's just that it's difficult to arrange things in the Procuratorate's Office. Now they are all parked near Liangzhou, waiting for Xuan Zheng's call at any time."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly, of course he would not go to the appointment alone for this battle, but would lead a group of Xuanfu monks there to prevent others from playing tricks.
He said: "Let someone take care of you, and we will set off later."
Shi Yue and Wen Liang immediately responded.
Zhang Yu walked into the inner hall, approved some documents that had been passed on in the past few days, and then briefly explained his arrangements after leaving.
Then he stepped out of the inner hall and glanced up. A ray of green light spread from his feet upwards, instantly surrounding his whole body, and then turned into a rainbow and shot into the sky. After a slight flash, it disappeared into the sky.
And just a moment after he left, streaks of escaping light rose from all directions like fireworks in Liangzhou, and also flew away in the same direction.
On the border of Liangzhou, in a pavilion and post, two officials-looking people watched the escaping lights flying up, and gradually moved away to the east and said: "I'm finally gone."
One of them said bitterly: "I only hope that Master Bai Xiu can kill this person this time." He thought about it again and said coldly: "It is still a bit unsafe to just rely on Master Bai Xiu. The best way is to
Just throw down the mysterious soldiers..."
The other person was not optimistic about this matter and said: "This matter is extremely difficult. If ordinary Xuan soldiers want to kill such a monk, it will take at least ten Xuan soldiers. How can this be easily dispatched?"
The man from before did not give up and said: "What if we are looking for those extremely powerful mysterious weapons? I heard that one of them can level a whole state and county. Isn't it possible that it can't deal with this task?"
The other person's expression changed, he looked around, and whispered: "What do you mean about razing prefectures and counties? Don't talk nonsense here. Are you afraid that the people in the Procuratorate won't hear it?"
The man from before snorted coldly and said with a bit of disdain: "Department of Prosecution? Let's see how long they can continue to run rampant!"
The other person is still worried. No matter what happens to the Prosecutor's Office, it will be a matter of the future. Isn't it still there now?
He put his hands together and said in a very low voice: "The same goes for those extremely powerful Xuan soldiers. If the two of them were a little further away from Zhoulu, they wouldn't be able to carry them there at all. Besides, Master Bai Xiu is also there.
There, this person’s foundation is not simple, so let’s not mention this matter again. Now we can only sit here and wait for the outcome of this battle.”
The man before sighed helplessly and said, "I only hope that Master Bai Xiu can succeed."
