I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

Chapter 952 The Confused Zhang Daoxian
Hearing this, Xueqing's heart trembled slightly, and she immediately looked at Zhong Kui expectantly.

She lost today, a complete defeat, not to mention saving the demon world, being able to protect herself is already a great fortune.

If Zhong Kui is willing to take her away from here, away from the disputes between the world of humans and demons, even if she lives a poor and tedious life, she will be happy.

Facing Xueqing's expectant gaze, Zhong Kui remained silent instead.

He once trusted Zhang Daoxian so much, but Xueqing said that Zhang Daoxian was not a good person.

But if even Zhang Daoxian is not trustworthy, is the pair of master and apprentice in front of him trustworthy?
He is taking Xueqing away now, he is escaping, he is a coward, and he is abandoning thousands of people in Hudu.

If the demon world falls in the future and the monsters flee to the human world, Hu Du will be the first to bear the brunt. Will he be a deserter at this time?
"I can't go, and I can't go." After a long time, Zhong Kui lowered his eyes and said, "Hudu needs me."

Xueqing's eyes dimmed, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Perhaps for an aspiring man, responsibility is greater than love?

"Think carefully." Qin Yao didn't say much, just patted Zhong Kui on the shoulder, then turned to Uncle Jiu and said, "Master, I'll help you out."

Zhong Kui watched the pair of master and apprentice leave blankly, but he didn't dare to look at Xueqing again.

Xueqing looked at him for a long time, her body suddenly turned into a snowstorm, and rushed to the door: "The grace of saving life will be repaid in the future."

Zhong Kui subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab it, but the wind and snow passed through his fingers and quickly disappeared from sight...

On the other side, after walking out of Zhong Kui's room, Qin Yao asked inwardly, "System, how much filial piety does it take to help Uncle Jiu and me hide Xiezhi?"

Undoubtedly, the Xiezhi from the heavens must not be comparable to the unicorns in the world, and the lowest strength must be in the realm of immortals.

In the face of this gap in realm, if there is no external assistance, the lies of Qin Yao and Uncle Nine should be invisible.

[A person is worth one hundred filial piety a day. 】The system immediately gives a quotation.

"Too expensive." Qin Yao frowned.

If Xiezhi stayed in Hudu for three to five days, the consumption would be over a thousand.

It was a price that Qin Yao could not accept.

[The opponent is a fairy beast after all, the strength gap between you is too great. 】The system is not a businessman, so it will not negotiate prices in business, but only give the basis for charging in response to Qin Yao's complaints.

If it wasn't for the demon spirit, Qin Yao would never have accepted the offer.

But just because the demon spirit was in his hands, he had to accept the price.After all, even if the consumption exceeds a thousand, as long as the demon spirit can be kept, it will be a big profit for their master and apprentice.

The difference is just a matter of earning more and earning less!

Shaoqing, Uncle Jiu brought Qin Yao to his house, and waved a sound-proof sign: "Zhang Daoxian is going to invite Xiezhi, what's your idea?"

"Just leave it to me to deal with it." Qin Yao warned: "Master, remember, when I'm not around, don't answer any questions from Zhang Daoxian. Xiezhi can tell the truth from words, but can't read your heart."

Seeing that Qin Yao was still reliable at the critical moment, Uncle Jiu heaved a sigh of relief: "It's good that you have a way to deal with it, otherwise we will have to leave the devil world."

"Don't worry, with me here, nothing will go wrong." Qin Yao said firmly.

the next day.

The fourth day since the demon spirit left the demon world.

Zhang Daoxian landed in Hudu City before the sun rose, accompanied by a unicorn beast as big as a cow, resembling a unicorn, with thick black hair all over its body.

"Lord Xiezhi, I will trouble you to hide in the court later, listen to what people say, and distinguish the truth from the false." Zhang Daoxian said warmly when he climbed the steps of the Duhufu.

Xiezhi spit out words, with a solemn and majestic voice: "No problem. Immortal officer, please rest assured, no lie can fool me."

Zhang Daoxian chuckled: "Yes, yes, this is also the main reason why I took so much pains to invite you here."

During the conversation, one person and one beast passed through the tightly closed gate, and Zhang Daoxian led them to the outside of the mansion hall.

Xiezhi took two quick steps and entered through the door. His eyes like bull's eyes swept across the hall, and he slowly came to the judge's table.

I saw it transformed into a jade seal, which landed gently on the side of the table without revealing mountains or dews. Anyone who saw it would think it was an ordinary jade seal.

Zhang Daoxian nodded in satisfaction, turned around and went out, called Uncle Jiu, Qin Yao, and Zhong Kui to the court together, and said in a concentrated voice: "Lin Daochang, Qin Daochang, I have a question, and I ask you two to answer it."

coming……

Qin Yao's eyelids twitched, and he said to himself: "System, exchange for the ability to hide from Xiezhi."

[This transaction deducts 100 points of filial piety, and the deduction is successful, and the balance of your filial piety is 10950 points. 】

As the talisman of a successful transaction flashed in front of his eyes, even though he didn't feel anything, Qin Yao felt relieved and asked calmly, "What does the immortal want to ask?"

Zhang Daoxian said slowly: "What I want to ask is, do you two know who the murderer who killed Qilin is?"

Since he didn't know what to do, and he didn't want to turn against the master and apprentice, this first question was very reserved.

Qin Yao shook his head: "If we know who the murderer is, why don't we tell the immortal?"

After his words fell, Zhang Daoxian subconsciously looked at the seal of Xiezhi on the judgment table, but saw that the seal did not respond at all, and his heart sank slightly.

They really don't know who the murderer is?
After a moment of silence, Zhang Daoxian asked again: "Do you know where the devil is?"

Qin Yao frowned, and asked, "You don't even know where the demon spirit is, how could we know? Immortal Zhang, are you doubting us?"

Zhang Daoxian still didn't wait for Xiezhi to speak, so he winked at Zhong Kui.

Zhong Kui understood, and immediately came out to talk to each other: "Qin Daochang, the immortal is not suspicious of you, but the seven days are getting closer and closer. In the last three days, the army of the demon world may attack the capital at any time. , Our chances of winning are very low, so the immortal is getting more and more tense and anxious, and he asked me this before."

Qin Yao knew that these words must be made up by Zhong Kui, but truth and falsehood don't make any sense at this moment, it is wise to walk down the steps.

After all, he couldn't leave Hudu with his master and leave the center of the plot.

Losing control of the situation and micro-manipulating the plot will definitely be backlashed in the future.

"Immortal, you are now the only hope in Hudu." Taking a silent breath, Qin Yao said in a deep voice, "Anyone in Hudu can mess up, but you can't. Otherwise, the people of Hudu can still rely on you." who?"

Zhang Daoxian's complexion was uncertain, his gaze swept from his cheek to Uncle Jiu's cheek, and he wanted to question him a few more times, but in the end he forcibly held back.

He knew very well in his heart that the question just now had created a rift between them, and Zhong Kui's Circus did not heal the rift, but only maintained the relationship between the two parties in a state where the rift was not broken.

If he questioned the Taoist priest surnamed Lin again, the one surnamed Qin might turn his face on the spot!
At that time, he asked the Jade Emperor for a decree to rule the capital, but he made a promise in front of the immortal officials in the palace.If when he was guarding Hu Capital, Hu was gone, and demons invaded the human territory, he didn't know what would happen to him.

Therefore, he really needs the master and apprentice to work for him, at least, to guard the capital.

Not long after, Qin Yao walked out of the courtroom with Uncle Jiu. Zhang Daoxian sat down on a chair and murmured: "Now there are no more suspects. I don't understand, it's hard to understand. Who is the black hand behind the scenes?" ? When did he plan the demon spirit?"

The more he thought about it, the more frightening he was. At this moment, he seemed to be strangled by his neck, covering his mouth, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Immortal, can you send the soldiers and horses from the Heavenly Court down to guard the capital?" Zhong Kui asked softly.

Zhang Daoxian shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "It was meritorious work for us to steal the demon spirit, but the demon spirit was lost in our hands, and it was a fault for attracting demons to covet the world. Now the merit is gone, and the fault is still there.

Now there has been no movement in the heavenly court. It is impossible to be unaware of the changes in the demon world, and I think it is giving me a chance.If I can't properly resolve this matter, Zhong Kui, you may not see me in the future. "

Zhong Kui:"……"

Seeing his speechless appearance, Zhang Daoxian asked in a strange way: "Zhong Kui, you have nothing to hide from me, right?"

Zhong Kui's heart stopped for a moment, and he said hastily: "No, no, how dare a villain lie to an immortal?"

"Lie!" Xiezhi suddenly transformed into a form and shouted sharply.

The corner of Zhong Kui's mouth twitched.

Beforehand, he never thought that the Xiezhi invited by Zhang Daoxian would actually be used on him.

Zhang Daoxian's complexion changed, and he said softly, "Zhong Kui, what are you hiding from me?"

Zhong Kui shook his head and smiled wryly: "Immortal, don't ask, don't ask, I can assure you that this matter has nothing to do with demon spirits."

Zhang Daoxian said coldly: "It doesn't matter if it has nothing to do with the demon spirit. You should not hide anything about me."

Zhong Kui was helpless: "This is my privacy, please give me a face from the gods."

"Snapped!"

Zhang Daoxian slapped him on the face with a backhand, and he was sent flying, knocking over a candlestick holding more than a dozen candles with his shoulder.

"What kind of dignity do you have, and you are worthy of it? Tell me honestly, what are you hiding from me!"

Seeing the immortal who seemed like a loving father and teacher in his impression suddenly become so violent, the filter in Zhong Kui's heart was finally shattered, he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Whether it's the entanglement with Xueqing or the betrayal of Zhang Daoxian, he can't talk about it.

If you say the former, you might kill Xueqing, if you say the latter, you might kill yourself.

Xue Qing is right, Zhang Daoxian is indeed not a good person.He allowed himself to steal the demon spirit, nine out of ten it wasn't for the common people in Hudu!

Zhang Daoxian turned his right hand, and Zhong Kui was immediately imprisoned in the air by a wave of immortal energy: "Zhong Kui, I saved your life, and taught you spells to stimulate your potential. Is this how you repay me?"

Zhong Kui seemed to be choked by the throat, his cheeks gradually turned red, and he said with difficulty: "I swear by my soul, that matter has nothing to do with the devil!"

Zhang Daoxian was silent for a long time, then shook his palm, and the immortal energy that imprisoned Zhong Kui dissipated immediately.

"boom."

Zhong Kui's body fell to the ground from mid-air, and he let out an uncontrollable moan of pain.

"Get out!" Zhang Daoxian shouted.

Zhong Kui struggled to get up from the ground, and limped out of the courtroom.

"Do you have any doubts?" After the three left, Xiezhi asked indifferently.

Zhang Daoxian suddenly remembered the troop of witches who had marched into the city, and said solemnly: "There is only one last breakthrough..."

However, when he brought Xiezhi to the camp of the Loulan convoy, he saw that the tent had already been emptied, and even the camels and horses were gone.

"I feel like I'm getting closer to the truth."

Looking at the empty camp, Zhang Daoxian became excited instead: "The entire Hudu has been sealed by me. Except for me, they can only enter and cannot exit, so those witches must be hiding. As long as we can find them, Maybe we can learn the truth from them."

"Immortal Officer, I'm here to solve the case with you, not to investigate the case with you." Xiezhi said in a deep voice.

Zhang Daoxian's smile froze, and he said, "One day, give me one day, and I will be able to find them."

Xie Zhi shook his head: "At most until midnight tonight, once the hour is over, I will leave immediately."

Zhang Daoxian: "..."

At this moment, he deeply hated again why he was just a humble official.

If he was an important member of the Heavenly Court, how dare this Xiezhi talk to himself like this?
The day passed quickly, Zhang Daoxian first searched the most dangerous and safest Duhu Mansion, and then walked through the streets and alleys, trying to find the group of goblins.

Unfortunately, the group of goblins did not know where they took refuge. No matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find any clues, and he could only watch Xiezhi leave helplessly.

After this time, it was the fifth day since the demon spirit left the demon world.

Looking at the rising sun on a high mountain, Zhang Daoxian even thought of retreating...

However, with this retreat, he may no longer have a fate with the demon spirit, and it is even delusional to overthrow the Jade Emperor's rule in the future and become a great treasure.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

After dawn, Zhong Kui knelt in his room in the Protectorate's Mansion, his face was covered with black veins, his whole body seemed to be washed with water, and he screamed like a beast.

Since the immortal brought him back from the imperial capital three years ago, he would have this sickness every once in a while.

And at this time, the immortal would bring the fairy soup and feed him to drink to get rid of the evil disease.

However, today, the immortal has not arrived...

After suffering for a long time, Zhong Kui finally couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the scabbard and slapped his head continuously, trying to knock himself out.

But he broke his own head, and blood flowed down his forehead, but he failed to faint as he wished.

Resisting the pain, he grabbed the bamboo hat hanging on the wall, put it on his head between his hands, and covered his face. He walked out quickly, and walked to Uncle Jiu's door, knocking on the door repeatedly.

Uncle Jiu opened the door following the sound, and Zhong Kui fell directly into his room, holding his head and crying out in pain.

Touch porcelain?
Uncle Jiu was dumbfounded by the look, until he saw the terrifying black veins on the other person's face, he suddenly came back to his senses, reached out and pressed his forehead, his complexion gradually became serious.

"Be patient for a while, I'll call Qin Yao, he has a spell that can remove all kinds of curses."

"Curse?" Zhong Kui shuddered suddenly.

So, this is not a bad disease at all, but a curse planted on him?
