Chapter 573 Conflict
Sichuan Army Station?

Captain Zhang heard that Xu Daochang in front of him was asking about the Sichuan Army, and he looked at his old friend Xu San without knowing why.

"It's like this. Daochang Xu came from Sichuan Province. After Commander Liu issued the "Military Notice...", Daochang Xu rushed over and was ready to help Commander Liu!"

Although he had not been in contact with Xu Zhiqing for a long time, he knew that this Taoist Xu was also a passionate Chinese person.

Instead of being a monk, he went to Nanjing to support the anti-Japanese war.

Captain Zhang also knew about the military message issued by Commander Liu to Sichuan Province. After listening to Xu San's words, he solemnly saluted Xu Zhiqing.

"Daozhang Xu, I won't say much else. In the interests of our nation, you are a man!"

"It's passed!"

Xu Zhiqing cupped his hands towards Captain Zhang.

"I am far inferior to you in this regard. You have done your best for the country and the people. How can I compare to you!"

On the side, Xu San laughed as he listened to the two people's words.

"I said, Taoist Xu, Lao Zhang, you two are still being humble here. Let's not talk about this. You are not in a hurry about the Sichuan Army garrison!"

"It's almost dinner time now, how about we go eat first?"

Before Xu Zhiqing said any words of refusal, Lao Zhang said: "When I knew you were coming, I had already reserved a private room in a restaurant! Let's go eat first!"

As he spoke, Lao Zhang waved to the guard beside him: "Xiao Wang, you take the brothers from the artillery regiment to the station first. Lao Xu, Taoist Xu and I are going to have a drink!"

When Xu Zhiqing heard what Lao Zhang said, he didn't refuse anymore.

When he comes to Nanjing City, he may not go directly to Commander Liu.

There are many big shots in Nanjing now. He will inquire first before talking about them.

Lao Zhang's guard Xiao Wang took Hu Zi and others to the Yunnan Army garrison, while Lao Zhang invited Xu San and Xu Zhiqing to enter Nanjing.

Xu Zhiqing was followed by a carriage, with Iron Tower and Er Niu guarding the coffin on the carriage.

On the way to the restaurant, Lao Zhang also noticed the coffin on the carriage.

But he wasn't a talkative person, so even though he was curious about the coffin, he didn't ask any more questions.

Instead, it was Xu San who took the initiative to talk about the coffin.

"Old Zhang, have you seen the coffin?"

"Nonsense, I'm not blind, so I can't see such a big coffin?"

"Hey, then you may not know who prepared this coffin!"

Lao Zhang had curiosity on his face.

"I'm really curious about who goes out and carries a coffin with them!"

"This coffin belongs to Daochang Xu!"

Xu San didn't keep anyone in suspense about this.

"Daozhang Xu said that he prepared this coffin for himself. He was preparing to participate in the anti-Japanese war, so he prepared a coffin for himself in advance!"

When Lao Zhang heard this, he had a look of admiration on his face.

"Taoist Master Xu is a man who looks forward to death. Mr. Zhang admires him!"

Xu Zhiqing was speechless when he heard this. He was just an excuse he pulled out casually to deal with Xu San's questions.

He thought so in his heart, but the words changed when he spoke.

"Life is unpredictable. Although the Japanese are few, they are well-equipped. Since I have to fight against them, I can only prepare to die!"

Lao Zhang nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"The number of the Japanese army is much smaller than ours, but their equipment is far ahead of ours. We still have many brothers, and the equipment is not very sufficient!"

Xu Zhiqing smiled and said nothing.

In today's era, the people in the country are very poor and the national strength is not strong. Where can we get excellent equipment?

What's more important is that industry is not in a daze and productivity is not strong.

Even the amount of domestically produced iron is very insufficient.

There are not many arsenals in the country.

Xu San lamented: "If there had been no war, our country would have developed for several decades and we would have definitely caught up with the Japanese!"

Xu Zhiqing thought of the several-year plan in the history books. The whole country worked together to develop. It may be difficult to catch up with the Japanese in industry for a while, but the national strength can flourish.

"What Commander Xu said makes sense, but it's a pity that the domestic situation continues to be disputed, and there are still communists... Forget it, let's not talk about that! Now we are united to fight against Japan, and we will not say censorship!"

In the middle of speaking, Lao Zhang changed his subject.

Xu Zhiqing knew in his heart what Lao Zhang wanted to say. After all, the people in the national army stood on the side of the national army and were naturally not committed to the Communists.

Not long after they entered Nanjing, they arrived at a restaurant where Lao Zhang had reserved a private room.

Pedestrians on the road looked at the coffin on the carriage with curious expressions.

The waiter who was greeting guests at the door of the restaurant turned dark when he saw the carriage pulling the coffin heading this way.

He took a look at the clothes of the people walking in the front, and a smile appeared on his face again, and he took the initiative to greet them.

"The two military masters, and this Taoist master..."

Before the guy finished speaking, Lao Zhang waved to him.

"Man, please help us pull this coffin to the backyard. I have reserved a private room in advance. My surname is Zhang!"

When the waiter heard what Lao Zhang said, he quickly came to Tieta and Erniu.

"Masters, please come to me!"

Tie Ta and Er Niu looked at Xu Zhiqing.

"Man, get them some food in the backyard, and I'll pay the bill later!"

"okay!"

The guy agreed with a smile on his face.

After the waiter took the man and the coffin to the backyard, Lao Zhang invited Xu San and Xu Zhiqing into the restaurant.

The three of them entered the box under the leadership of another waiter.

Soon, the waiter brought the food.

At the dinner table, Xu San also told Lao Zhang some things that happened on his way to Nanjing.

After hearing what Xu San said, Lao Zhang slammed the table.

"Grandma, I just said that some comrades suddenly fell ill and died. It turns out that the Japanese are causing trouble!"

"Old Xu, if you didn't tell us this earlier, we would have told our superiors!"

Lao Zhang can't eat anymore.

If the things Xu San said were told by others, Lao Zhang might not believe it.

But he believed in Xu San.

Xu San and he had a life-long friendship.

Xu San stopped Lao Zhang.

"Old Zhang, why are you in such a hurry? No matter how anxious you are, you can still miss this meal? Besides, even if you tell your superiors, they may not believe such mysterious things!"

Lao Zhang looked at Xu Zhiqing.

"They don't believe it. Don't we have a Taoist priest?"

Lao Zhang looked at Xu Zhiqing, thinking that if the Taoist priest was not a liar, he would show his skills by then, right?

When Xu Zhiqing heard Lao Zhang's words, his heart moved slightly.

The news we got earlier really needs to be told to those people in Nanjing City.

Otherwise, if you have a defensive mind.

It is difficult for the onmyojis who come from the island to escape and benefit.

Those evil cultivators usually don't dare to release ghosts.

The evil spirit, blood energy and yang energy in military martial arts are enough to make those ghosts timid.

It may even make them lose their minds.

The Caobian Thirteen took advantage of the situation last night, but it was actually because the artillery regiment was short of people.

The team of thousands of people fell asleep again.

In addition, Caobian Thirteen, who wanted to kill Xu San, had more of a mentality of letting the ghost and Xu San die together.

It's just a ghost, and the soul is gone. Anyway, you can still choose some evil ghosts to continue to enslave.

However, if the enslaved ghost dies, the enslaver will also suffer a lot of damage.

Especially, the blood seals used by those enslavers.

At this point, it is far inferior to the orthodox Taoist method of controlling ghosts. There are also some people in Taoism who refine a bit of their mind into ghosts in order to deepen their connection with ghosts.

However, this way it is somewhat bound to the ghost.

If a ghost is injured, the master who controls the ghost will also be injured.

Xu San felt that what Lao Zhang said was very reasonable.

"Yes! If they don't believe it, we have many Taoist priests!"

He looked at Xu Zhiqing.

"Daozhang Xu, you should have some other means, right? The kind that can be revealed in front of others?"

Xu Zhiqing smiled slightly.

"Of course there is!"

The conversation between the two also gave him inspiration.

He believed that there should be some powerful people around those at the top.

If he reveals his methods, he can get in touch with those people faster.

If no one recommended him, he would have to go alone and find a way to meet him.

How can this method be as fast as revealing his methods and reputation?
"If Commander Xu and Commander Zhang need it, I can show them off when necessary!"

After he finished speaking, he took out a small bag from the cloth bag.

"Captain Xu, you probably don't know what's in this bag yet!"

Xu San had a curious look in his eyes.

He really didn't know what was in Xu Zhiqing's bag?
He was curious, let alone Lao Zhang.

He asked directly: "Daoist Master Xu, what else do you have in this bag?"

"Captain Xu, I took the female ghost out of you last night and saved her, but the ghosts I took out from Hu Zi and your two other guards have not been saved yet!"

Xu San was horrified when he heard this.

"Is there a ghost thing in your bag?"

Lao Zhang on the side was even more shocked.

"Daozhang Xu, this is not a joke. How can anyone carry a ghost with him?"

Xu Zhiqing looked at the nervous two people and explained: "It's not just me, many fellow Taoists are carrying some captured ghosts."

"They may put those ghosts in the soul-retaining charms, and some will knock the ghosts into bottles, jars, jars, etc.!"

"You don't have to be afraid of these ghosts. They are all sealed, so as long as the seal is not broken, they can't harm anyone!"

Lao Zhang listened and asked subconsciously: "What if you accidentally break a jar or something?"

Xu Zhiqing shook the wine glass in his hand.

"Captain Zhang, if I break the wine glass inside my hand, what will happen to the wine inside?"

"Of course, run out!"

Lao Zhang reacted after answering.

"Daozhang Xu, are you saying that ghosts can also escape?"

Xu Zhiqing nodded.

"But Captain Zhang, you don't need to be afraid. You are full of evil energy, and ordinary ghosts will not dare to touch you!"

"Just like the ghosts in my bag, if they are not controlled by others, they will be far away if they see you... Unless you are drunk and the Yang Fire is not strong, they will be able to Take advantage of the opportunity!”

Xu Zhiqing's words made Lao Zhang subconsciously put down the wine glass in his hand.

"Daozhang Xu, your words have made me afraid to drink!"

"Haha, there's nothing wrong with having a drink, as long as you don't get drunk!"

Xu Zhiqing drank a glass of wine as he spoke.

"Even I drink alcohol occasionally!"

Lao Zhang felt relieved after seeing Xu Zhiqing drink a glass of wine.

However, he did not dare to drink heavily.

Xu San suddenly spoke.

"Daozhang Xu, can you let the ghost thing out of your bag now?"

"Of course it's possible!"

After Xu Zhiqing said that, he opened the bag and three little ghosts immediately ran out of the bag.

The kid ran out, but Xu San and Lao Zhang couldn't see it.

But they didn't know why, but they felt a little cold in the box suddenly.

Xu San asked Xiang Lao Zhang.

"Lao Zhang, do you feel cold?"

Lao Zhang rubbed his hands.

"It seems a little colder!"

He said and looked at Xu Zhiqing.

"Daozhang Xu, have you released the ghost?"

Xu Zhiqing didn't say anything more, but took out a piece of talisman paper from the cloth bag.

He picked up the talisman and muttered something.

"Heaven and earth are invisible, and all things are invisible. I have magical talismans, and demons and ghosts can appear quickly, as quickly as laws and regulations!"

After he finished speaking, he swung towards the corner of the box.

Ordinary people can see ghosts, including cow tears, pot ashes and other things, as well as Taoist talismans.

What Xu Zhiqing used was the manifestation talisman he drew not long ago.

If the ghost is not visible, it will be difficult to detect it.

As long as the ghost is revealed, Xu Zhiqing can hit the ghost with his fist.

As for the damage...that's another story.

Xu Zhiqing threw out the visible talisman.

Xu San and Lao Zhang subconsciously looked at the corner of the box.

They saw the manifesting talisman float to the corner of the box and burst into flames. As a puff of smoke disappeared, three five-year-old children with miserable faces appeared in the corner of the box.

The children's faces were pure and white, and they were all huddled in the corner.

"What the hell, what a ghost!"

As a person who has seen ghosts and Xu Zhiqing's abilities, Xu San is still stable.

Lao Zhang stood up immediately.

Seeing this, Xu San hurriedly calmed down.

"Calm down, Old Zhang! With Taoist Master Xu and me here, what are you afraid of?"

Lao Zhang glanced at Xu San and found that Xu San's lips were trembling when he spoke.

"It doesn't matter to me if you can hold your nerve and not tremble when you speak!"

While the two were talking, Xu Zhiqing opened the small cloth bag and said to the three little ghosts: "Take it!"

Hearing this, the three little guys swooped into the bag again.

Xu Zhiqing tied the small cloth bag and put it back into the big cloth bag he was carrying across his body.

"Didn't you notice just now? They are actually afraid of you!"

Lao Zhang and Xu San really didn't notice.

"I thought those three brats were afraid of you, Taoist Priest!"

When Lao Zhang said the word "dao long", his tone was quite respectful.

People who have never seen ghosts and those who have seen ghosts have different understandings of the word Taoist Master.

Just when Xu Zhiqing was about to tell them why the kid was afraid of them, a waiter knocked on the box from outside.
"Two military masters and Dao master, someone had a conflict with your friend in the backyard!"

Xu Zhiqing didn't make any move when he heard the words, while Xu San stood up suddenly.

Lao Zhang also changed his expression.

He said coldly: "I want to see who is short-sighted and dares to bully us!"
