red man

Chapter 226 The Ritual of the Oath
The ninth day of the lunar new year was originally Tiangong Day, but there were no sacrifices in Weijiawan, and few people in Wufeng County worshiped Tiangong.

Sacrifice your head, what a disaster.

"The convenience is Wufeng County, we will not go to the city."

A flying boat slowly headed west. Wang Fubo on the boat closed his eyes and rested his mind, constantly polishing the lightsaber in his eyes. He has no interest in promotion now. It's not that he doesn't want to be a high-ranking official, but a high-ranking official in troubled times. It's just a display; power without soldiers is a pig.

Moreover, what he got was a god-given streamer, and there was no problem in cultivating under the shadow of national destiny.

"The God-man you mentioned, is it really that powerful?"

"Although Xiayi is a great city in the world, it is actually so closed."

"..."

Wang Fubo didn't bother to talk about it, he didn't believe that the Beijing Sky Surveyor and Qin Tianjian didn't notice the "Change of Chaohu Lake", and the matter of Da Chaozhou was just pretending to be confused, seeing through without telling the truth.

"The front is Weijiawan."

With his eyes closed, Wang Fubo immediately recognized the back bay of the Qingmu River, where there were huge monster bones.

In front of the bones, people seem a little small.

"Why is there a beast-shaped mountain here?"

"That's the corpse of a divine beast. It was chopped up by a man of God on the last night of last year. It's not bad to turn it into a mountain now."

Xi Shaojun's body had indeed turned into a mountain, half on the shore and half in the water, which slowed down the water flow in Weijia Bay a lot.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Stupid, after you go down, you will know as soon as you ask."

The flying boat slowly descended, and Wei Hao was already waiting at the foot of "Xi Beast Mountain". Most of the villagers had never seen a flying boat before. When they saw the people on the flying boat wearing brocade robes, holding swords and knives, they knew they were not simple people.

"Elephant!"

"Mr. Wang, you are here."

"Today's affairs depend on the momentum of the elephant!"

"Man proposes, God disposes."

"it is good!"

Wang Fubo turned his head smugly, and said to the middle-aged Confucian scholar, "This is what the old man said about the God-man."

The middle-aged Confucian scholar was sizing up Wei Hao. Seeing Wei Hao's burly figure and unrefined manner, he suddenly felt difficult to get close to.

But Wang Fubo introduced to Wei Hao: "He is Nineteenth Lang, just call him Nineteenth Lang by the elephant."

"like?"

"My last name is the royal family."

"Wang Gong still has such connections?"

"Didn't I say earlier that there is someone in my court?" Wang Fubo smiled, "He was my classmate in the old year, and even a tribute in the same year and the same subject."

"Wei Hao, Weijiawan, met Nineteen Lang."

Wei Hao arched his hands, and said to Xi Jiulang.

Xi Jiulang was a little embarrassed. After returning the gift, he stroked three-quarters of his beard and said with a smile, "Sincerity is a strong man."

"Award."

Seeing Xi Jiulang's strange face, lack of full beard, and sparse beard, Wei Hao thought he was a royal prodigal, the kind who didn't care about his image.

It was rare to see Wang Fubo with a bruised nose and swollen face, so Wei Hao asked Wang Fubo in a low voice: "Mr. Wang, when you came, was it so bumpy?"

Seeing Wei Hao sizing up his injuries, Wang Fubo coughed lightly: "It's a small matter, a small matter, it's nothing serious."

After saying that, Wang Fubo looked at the environment of Weijiawan, very curious: "By the way, there is no protection of national destiny here in Weijiawan, right? How can it be so peaceful?"

"Harmony?"

Wei Hao curled his mouth, raised his finger and pointed to 'Xi Beast Mountain', "Didn't I tell you, Mr. Wang? New Year's Eve really came here once."

"This is a natural disaster, not counted."

"..."

Wei Hao was speechless, then thought for a while, and said to Wang Fubo, "Maybe there are more veterans from Wufeng County in Weijiawan. My father was also a small flag officer before his death. Most of the people in this river bay are small as long as they don't die in battle. Banner Officer."

"Hmm..." Wang Fubo stroked his beard and nodded, "I think it's this murderous town house. Thinking about the incarnation of the national destiny, the 'White Tiger' who was originally the main soldier, has accumulated for hundreds of years, and there is always a blessing. No wonder there are people like you. "

I don't know if this is considered a compliment, but let's just say it is a compliment.

Wei Hao was thinking about business, so he asked Wang Fubo: "Wang Gong, where is the method you found?"

"Wait a minute, the old man must first order the monster extermination to set up a formation."

"Formation?" Wei Hao was taken aback, "Wang Gong, I don't practice mana."

"But both sides of the oath, as much as possible."

Suddenly, Wang Fubo said again, "Furthermore, the old man's concern with you is that you can't restrain it. If you don't practice mana, you can also overcome mana. The convenience of it, don't you need to waste your time?"

"Well... also."

If someone breaks the oath, he will be slashed with sword air and knife gang.

Many demon extermination men in Beiyang Mansion, now most of them secretly seek refuge with Wang Fubo, and of course there are also some openly and generously seeking refuge, such as "One Stone Master" Gong Jianzhi, who were originally from military inspectors and transferred to exorcise demons. The supervisor, the patrol supervisor, and the Qin Tian supervisor are all because the emperor's order is difficult to disobey.

But the emperor's order is hard to disobey, which does not mean that the order of any real person is also a golden rule.

When there is no backer, of course I dare not. With a backer, who is willing to hang out in the rivers and lakes, there is no hope of promotion, and the money is not stable. It is better to have an iron job in the state or county, or to retire from the rivers and lakes to earn some hard money. .

More than a dozen demon exorcisers performed their own duties, some were looking for directions, some were laying out formations, and some were carrying materials.

I saw logs and boulders built up quickly, backed by "Xi Beast Mountain" and adjacent to the Qingmu River, witnessing the mountains, rivers, heaven and earth, and a high platform raised on the ground.

Wei Hao saw these monster exorcisers working quickly, and thought to himself: If you can practice while building bridges and paving roads, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?
However, the inconvenience is also obvious. The means of cultivation vary from person to person, and the consumption of cultivation cannot be afforded.

In fact, there were not many practitioners that the Great Xia Dynasty could really afford to support. A few strong armies, plus the royal armed forces like Qianniuwei, were almost enough.

For example, the Demon Eliminators in the capital may be able to manage the necessary exercises, elixir, weapons, armor, materials, etc. for the cultivation of the demons in the capital. On their own.

If you have a wide network, you are naturally strong. If you have no network, you have to find a way to find a backer to expand your network.

"Privately swear, I'm afraid there will be suspicion of treason..."

It was also the first time that Xi Jiulang saw a demon extermination man who was able to work quickly. Wang Fubo, an old classmate, bribed people's hearts, cheated for personal gain, stole national treasures and banned books, and colluded with inhuman beings... He decided to rebel.

Moreover, they also recruited a god-man who is said to be a local, and the purpose was to make rumors, and then took the opportunity to shout slogans against the Great Xia Dynasty.

As the emperor's uncle of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xi Jiulang immediately closed his eyes.

Can't see, don't you just don't know?

"Wang Xianggong, everything has been properly posted."

Gong Jianzhi was also quick in his hands and feet, and he quickly finished carving the stones in different directions. The images of gods and beasts, and the secret spells were not bad at all.

"Old man, let's take a look."

After observing the direction, and measuring with a lightsaber, Wang Fubo said with emotion, "Mr. Gongjian, why did you take so long to do things before?"

Gong Jianzhi said with a smile at that time: "Mr. Wang, in the past, when he did things, he was rewarded for his meritorious service, and he had no future. If he was punished heavily, his life was in danger. So, how can we craftsmen be willing to rush to work? If there is a change, it will lead to disaster. Why bother?" Do such thankless things."

As he said that, Gong Jianzhi said again: "Wang Xianggong is fair, Wei Xianggong is just, how can we not believe it? If you believe in and promise, you will naturally be at ease and bold."

With his eyes closed, Xi Jiulang immediately chanted in his heart: I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it...

This "great craftsman with one stone" is dissatisfied with the imperial court, and he may slander the Tian family, and he is also a potential member of the conspiracy.

As the emperor's uncle of the Great Xia Dynasty, he should have been arrested and sent to Yousi for strict investigation.

But with my eyes closed, I didn't see it.

Very reasonable.

"The next step is to have people prepare to drink blood before the 'swear'."

In addition, Wang Fubo turned his head and shouted at Xi Jiulang, who had his eyes closed, "Hurry up and take out the 'Banbu'!"

"This is a national treasure—"

"The re-engraved thing is a very national treasure, take it out!"

"I'm the warehouse supervisor! Wang, if something happens, you can't pretend to be blind!"

"What does your uncle have to do with me, Wang Fubo?"

"you……"

"Don't worry! When your friend makes an oath with the fox, are you afraid that you won't be able to become stronger? At that time, you will be the number one master of the royal family, and you might have a chance to become the emperor's uncle."

"..."

Xi Jiulang had no choice but to open a brocade box, which was not big, only two inches.

But from the two-inch brocade box, a very large Shu brocade flew out. There were no dragons, phoenixes and beasts on it, only an animal that looked like an elk.

"Elephant, this is 'an cloth', and the big beast 'an' is shown on it. You are a man of fame, and you can be called a 'scholar', and a scholar shoots An."

Wang Fubo led Wei Hao to find the position on the high platform, and then said, "When the time comes, you, the elephant, will use the 'martyr's arrogance' as the arrow, and shoot 'An Bu' in the west."

"Is there any deep meaning in it?"

"When the emperor of the ancient dynasty made an oath with the Tianmeng, the athletes under his command made an appointment with the archer. The arrow hit the 'an cloth' and naturally rolled into a ball. This is the 'restraint'. The so-called oath is the word of restraint."

Then Wang Fubo continued, "At the same time, the high platform issued an order, 'Oath', which is another military order. Our experiment this time is to 'steal the sky and change the day'. After all, if you invite an eight-year-old monarch to come over, I'm afraid you won't be able to let out a single fart."

"..."

"Wang, how many virtues have you accumulated, especially oral virtues!"

"Get lost! The old man's tribute was acquired by the first emperor when he was alive. What does it have to do with your nephew?"

"You are unreasonable!"

"Close your beak, I wanted you to come first, so you should queue up for the old man!"

"..."

Seeing Wang Fubo letting himself fly, Wei Hao was dumbfounded, and exclaimed in his heart: What happened, Wang Gong became so unrestrained.

The waves fly up.

"This is the 'bow of archery' learned by Beiyang government officials. You are also a scholar, so you should know its origin. Make an oath with this bow, and it will have a miraculous effect."

Wang Fubo handed a bow to Wei Hao, and Wei Hao was startled: "Isn't this object in the official school of Fucheng?"

"What's the use of paying tribute? The old man has a good relationship with the officials and scholars, especially the newly added Caojiang Tongzhi in Beiyang Prefecture. They all think that the old man is the most promising, so they borrowed it for the old man."

"..."

Are you sure it's a loan? !

Wei Hao feels that [-]% of this is an obvious robbery.

"Caojiang Tongzhi?" Wei Hao was overjoyed immediately, "Congratulations, Mr. Wang, you are finally going to be promoted."

"It doesn't matter whether you get promoted or not. It's very easy for me to get promoted. I have accumulated too much credit, but I'm more self-willed. It's no big deal to be a fellow magistrate. As long as I am willing, the prefect of Beiyang Prefecture is easy to get. "

"..."

Seeing Wang Fubo's arrogance, Wei Hao also admired it, but Wang Fubo's qualifications are indeed strong, his achievements are brilliant, and his official reputation is excellent. It would be a strange thing not to be promoted, and it would be a slap in the face of the court.

Everything was ready, this test only started in the evening, and when it was just discussing who would be the first to go up, many people who came to have a try were scrambling to be the first.

After much deliberation, Wang Fubo and Wei Hao together decided to try from weak to strong.

There are a lot of weak elves, and some of them are particularly eager, and one of them is Wei Hao's acquaintance.

"Qiu Twelve Niang, is your eldest girl in better health?"

Qiu Shierniang, who was holding a long cigarette pole in the pile of little demons, was taken aback for a moment, and when she saw the eyes of her surroundings, she immediately came out to salute, and said repeatedly, "Thanks to Chixia's official photo, my eldest girl is still a little weak, but she is already recovering." Most of it."

"Come here this time, are you confident?"

"As long as the Chixia Gong is there, he will naturally have full confidence."

As she said that, Qiu Shierniang lowered her head and said, "The concubine came with the eldest girl."

"Oh?"

Wei Hao was a little surprised, which is quite courageous, and immediately praised, "You are women who do not give way to men, why don't you come first?"

"I'm going to call the eldest girl right now!"

Hearing what Wei Hao said, Qiu Shierniang was overjoyed, and hurried to a small boat, helping a girl out.

The woman looked thin and thin, but her eyes were stubborn and her face was not very good-looking, which showed that her body was still a little weak.

When she got to the front, the woman saluted and said, "Cuilian, the daughter of the people, I have seen Master Wei."

"Ok?"

Wei Hao saw that she was dressed a little weirdly, and Qiu Shierniang who was beside her saw it, and hurriedly said, "The eldest girl was almost sold into the Goulan, so she is dressed like this."

"Bastard!" Wei Hao frowned, "Forcing a good man into prostitution, who did it?!"

"Don't worry, Chixia Gong, the thief has been arrested by Chixia Gong, and it is the 'Jinbao Building'."

"I see……"

With a slightly relaxed expression, Wei Hao said to the two, "The success or failure of this experiment depends entirely on good luck. But whether it is successful or not, you need to keep in mind the oath between you two, and I am the person who binds your oath." people."

Standing in the east with a bow in one hand, Wei Hao raised the "Bow of Archery" and said, "Come forward now!"

Both Qiu Shierniang and Cuilian trembled nervously, and couldn't help but tremble nervously, while Wang Fubo stood with his hands behind his back, and said loudly, "I swear here!"

"One, don't do harm to the world!"

"Second, don't betray each other!"

"Three, don't..."

……

"These words are witnessed by the heavens and the earth, and restrained by the gods and men; if there is any violation, the heavens will not punish them, but the gods and men will punish them!"

Afterwards, Wei Hao was wrapped in "martyr's arrogance", and everyone around him was refreshed.

Rao Cuilian and Qiu Shierniang are very weak, but they are also courageous.

Under the high platform, the two pricked their fingertips with a silver needle, and dripped blood in one place. In an instant, the formation, the high platform, the pillars, the cloth... all emitted a faint light.

The light was like a cloud, and the blood of Cuilian and Qiu Shierniang could be seen floating into the air with the naked eye, and Wei Hao condensed the "martyr's arrogance" into an arrow, and after shooting it, it hit An Bu!
Anbu immediately twisted and bundled into a ball, and then Cuilian and Qiu Shierniang changed differently. The originally weak Qiu Shierniang had human-like strength; The rune, the rune is extremely complicated, Wang Fubo didn't understand it, but Wei Hao did.

In amazement, she saw Qiu Twelve Niang turning into a transparent wing, attached to the back-born rune. Cuilian was originally just an ordinary human being, but at this moment, she could fly instantly.

"Twelve Niangs, this..."

"Don't worry, big girl, I'm here."

Seeing that the two complement each other, there is such a miracle, Wang Fubo was overjoyed immediately, and hurriedly said, "It's done! It's done! This 'stealing the sky and changing the sun' really can be done!"

However, he quickly observed Wei Hao, and seeing Wei Hao standing still, he was immediately relieved.

Wei Hao also noticed a change at this time, even if he didn't look at Qiu Shierniang and Cuilian, he could still feel their existence, just like a star suddenly appeared in the dark night sky.

No matter how weak the light is, it can be clearly found in the darkness.

"Congratulations to you two!"

While Wei Hao spoke loudly, with a wave of his hand, a piece of pitch-black black iron was thrown out, and it fell firmly into Cuilian's hands, "This is the dragon scale of the 'Iron Ridge Dragon', which can be made into a weapon for body protection, and it can also be regarded as A little bit of my heart."

"Thank you Chi Xia Gong! Thank you Chi Xia Gong!"

Cuilian hurriedly landed, wanting to kowtow to Wei Hao, but Wei Hao pushed her up from the air, and the invisible force made Cuilian unable to kneel down, "From now on, stand up and speak boldly."

As soon as this remark came out, Wang Fubo was shocked, and Xi Jiulang, who had his eyes closed, also opened his eyes, looked at Wei Hao with a puzzled expression, and then looked at Wang Fubo, obviously wanting to ask questions.

Didn't you mean a god-man? !
Since he is a god-man, isn't it his duty to change the dynasty? !
Xi Jiulang thought that he took such a big risk just to fight for a future, but now it seems that there is something wrong with this god-man.

Wang Fubo turned his head away, he didn't have the nerve to look at Xie Jiulang, after all, there are no gods and men these days, they are all said to be local gods and men.
