Chapter 545 Idiot and drama

Zhang Qingxi has been practicing Taoism for almost fifty years, but his appearance looks like he is only 30 years old. Although his own strength has just entered the fourth preface, it does not prevent him from having a transcendent status in the Tianshi Mansion.

All this originated from his father, Zhang Chongyuan, one of the three "Great Celestial Masters" in Longhu Mountain.

That's why he was ordered to come down from the mountain and become a noble figure in charge of hundreds of Taoist officials in the entire Guangxin Mansion. Get this good job that countless pairs of eyes on the mountain and down the mountain covet and envy.

According to common sense, Zhang Qingxi only needs to take over the county governments step by step and maintain the general stability of the entire basic market. That will be a great achievement. Afterwards, it is logical to move his ranking of the Earth Immortal up by two digits. things.

With Zhang Qingxi's mind and heart, it was not too difficult to complete this task. As early as ten months ago, he began to make plans to expel Confucian officials and how to eliminate the influence left by the imperial court as soon as possible. Therefore, he had the order to delist the treasure notes and spread the immortal yuan overnight.

The progress of the matter was indeed as Zhang Qingxi expected, and the overall situation was very smooth.

However, it is normal for things to not go as planned. Now the expelled Confucian officials in Shangrao County have not even left Guangxin Mansion. The Taoist officials who have just arrived were broken into the government office and killed.

Even without linking to Huangliang Cave Sky, Zhang Qingxi could guess that the news must have spread throughout Longhu Mountain.

Now in the entire Guangxin Prefecture, and even in Jiangxi Province, there are countless people waiting to see his joke.

It was originally a good thing to sit back and wait for merit to be rewarded, but now it has a tendency to change, and it may even cause his father to be ridiculed by his opponents in the Tianshi Mansion.

This is something Zhang Qingxi doesn't want to see and cannot tolerate.

"This is a slap in my face, and it's going to cut off my path."

While driving in a specially modified extended car, Zhang Qingxi sighed, raised his finger and pointed at the slightly gloomy sky outside the window, and whispered to the Taoist sitting opposite.

"Heaven looks at people's hearts. If people's hearts are evil, even the sky will become ugly. Do you think so? Junior Brother Yanglong."

The Taoist was tall and tall, with a beard all over his face. He was clearly the same Yang Long who had been promoted to the Tianshi Mansion because of his decent performance in the Japanese trials.

"It is really unexpected that someone dares to commit crimes in the territory of Longhu Mountain."

Yang Long looked solemn and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Yang Long, you said that the person who broke into the Shangrao County government office and killed people was the traitor?"

"Senior brother, what do you mean?"

"Of course it's the former Dou Bu Celestial Master, our good junior brother, Chen Qisheng."

Zhang Qingxi joked: "Besides him, are there other traitors in Longhu Mountain in recent years?"

Yang Long pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and said slowly: "When the tragedy happened, the Huangliang Dream within a hundred feet of the Shangrao County Government Office was completely blocked, so there was no picture of the perpetrator sent back, so it cannot be confirmed that it was Chen Qisheng. . But no matter what the identity of the other party is, if he has the courage to make trouble on Longhu’s head, I’m afraid he is not a small role.”

"Junior brother, are you worried that we will encounter danger on this trip?" Zhang Qingxi asked back.

Yang Long said in a deep voice: "I just want to remind Senior Brother Qingxi not to take it lightly. Now that the mountains and rivers are in turmoil, all kinds of monsters and ghosts may jump out. I even suspect that the other party is hiding in the dark now, waiting for us to fall into the trap. ”

"You also said that this is Longhu Mountain. Even Ruxu can only tuck his tail between his legs and get out of here. Do you think they dare to stay here after getting into trouble? There are Taoist ancestors watching above our heads. "

Zhang Qingxi looked at Yang Long who was about to speak, and smiled nonchalantly: "Junior brother, don't worry, I don't have the spare time to eliminate demons and protect the Tao. Our trip to Shangrao County this time is just a formality. I have already We have arranged for a few scapegoats to be killed at the gate of the government office to control the situation. As for who the real culprit is, there will naturally be other people to investigate. "

Sure enough, reincarnation is the first step in cultivating the Tao.

As long as you have a good old man, no matter what happens, there will be someone to help wipe your butt.

Yang Long felt a lot of emotion in his heart, but his face remained expressionless. He nodded and said, "Senior brother, I think there is no plan left, but I am worrying too much."

"Actually, there is no need for us to be so restrained among our senior brothers."

Zhang Qingxi smiled and said: "Qinglu and Qingsheng have always been on good terms with me. Although they have broken up now, I still treat you as one of my own. Otherwise, there are so many self-recommended people in Tianshi Mansion, how could I be the only one?" Just choose you to go down the mountain with me?”

"Senior brother's hard work is deeply appreciated by Yang Long."

Yang Long showed a grateful expression just right, which made Zhang Qingxi smile with satisfaction.

"In the Japanese trial, you were not afraid of danger, refused to retreat in the face of difficulties, and did not hesitate to die in order to maintain the dignity of the sect. Not only I, but even my father also admired it very much."

Of course Yang Long knew who the 'father' Zhang Qingxi was talking about.

He also understood why Zhang Qingxi appointed him to go down the mountain to assist the other party in managing the Taoist officials.

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This is true at the foot of the mountain, and it is also true on the mountain. This is true for mortals, and so is it for immortals.

In Longhu Mountain, in addition to the current 'Zhang Celestial Master', the Lord of Longhu Mountain, Baiyu Jing Celestial Immortal Zhang Chonglian, there are two other three great Celestial Masters, Zhang Chongyuan and Zhang Chongcheng.

Zhang Qingxi is Zhang Chongyuan's only son, and his words and deeds naturally represent Zhang Chongyuan's power.

The current show of goodwill is also to win over himself and the 'formation' behind him.

In the Taoist order of the Ming Empire, there is a saying with rather vicious intentions: monks on the mountain are members of the Dragon, Tiger and Zhang family.

Of course, there is no need to say what the thoughts behind the people who spread this sentence are.

But there is no smoke without fire, and the respected status of the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain is indeed beyond doubt.

Even in Yang Long's own opinion, the Nine Dragons and Tigers are just the outer servants of the Zhang family. People with foreign surnames like himself who enter the Tianshi Mansion are no more than housekeepers at best.

Therefore, he had no room to refuse Zhang Qingxi's offer.

"'The ancestral court is dust-free', this is the decree personally issued by Zhang Tianshi, and it is naturally the most important event in our Longhu Mountain at the moment. The current use of Taoist officials to expel Confucian officials is just the beginning, and there will definitely be more next There are more and more difficult things we need to do.”

Zhang Qingxi looked at Yang Long and smiled softly: "Junior brother, you must help me share more."

"Senior brother, please rest assured. If you can give me this opportunity, I will naturally appreciate it."

The previous behavior of being neither humble nor arrogant was just to give the other party a good impression. Now that Zhang Qingxi has personally pierced this layer of window paper, Yang Long will naturally not continue to hold up the airs.

"It's just senior brother. Now that we suddenly take over all the government offices in Guangxin Mansion, there is no guarantee that the New Donglin Party will be angry. Should we take some precautions in advance?" Yang Long said with a worried expression.

"Don't worry, the New Donglin Party will not say anything. He has already taken the second step in Zhang Fengyue's temptation. Now we are just responding a little bit. We have given the other party enough face. What else can he be dissatisfied with?" ? And this 'ground country' is not only done by our family, but also by Ge Zaoshan next door. "

Zhang Qingxi's tone suddenly worsened and he said coldly: "But these gangsters are really shameless. They actually copied us and used immortal yuan to redeem treasure banknotes. If my father hadn't agreed, I would have sent people to Yuanzhou Mansion to chop them up with treasure banknotes." A layer of skin came off."

As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, but Jiangxi Province is a rare place where two tigers coexist. Tianshi Dao in Longhu Mountain and Lingbao Dao in Gezao Mountain confront each other from east to west, and they have always had a grudge against each other.

The history of Longhu Mountain predates the founding of the Ming Dynasty by a thousand years, and the ancestor it is enshrined is Zhang Daoling. Because initiates must offer five buckets of rice as a Taoist gift, it is also called the "Five buckets of rice". And because the Taoists in the sect respectfully called Zhang Daoling the Heavenly Master, he was also called the "Tianshi Tao".

After the Chongzhen Renaissance, the emergence of sequences made "becoming an immortal" no longer a mythical story that only existed in Taoist classics, but a real trace and a path to follow. Therefore, after the war, the number of believers in Taoist temples in the empire increased rapidly.

After all, even the emperor could not resist the temptation of immortality, let alone ordinary people.

As the undisputed Taoist ancestral court at that time, Longhu Mountain naturally enjoyed the prosperity of the Taoist sect for hundreds of years, overwhelming other Taoist celestial mountains and enjoying unlimited scenery.

Ge Zaoshan, which respects Ge Xuan as the founder of the sect, has a shorter history than Longhushan. In the process of development, it also absorbed a large number of Buddhist teachings. The teachings changed from saving oneself to saving the world, and advocated the practice of Taoism. People must do good deeds and accumulate virtue, so that they will be looked down upon by Taoists in the world.

Longhushan, which is close to water, would go to Gezao Mountain every now and then to look for trouble in Gezao Mountain. If Gezao disciples encountered people from Longhu Mountain outside the mountain, they would always stay away to avoid innocent people getting into trouble.

There are even very few immortal masters with a history of more than a hundred years in Gezao Mountain, and even the most important Ancestral Hall has been renovated many times.

This situation lasted until the "Dividing of Forces" broke out.

During the war to encircle and suppress Wu Xu, Ge Zao Mountain suddenly emerged, and various genius disciples and mysterious methods emerged in endlessly within the sect. Coupled with the 'Taoist civil strife', Gezaoshan's comprehensive strength after the war surpassed Longhushan in one fell swoop, becoming the leader of the Taoist sect in the entire Jiangxi Province.

Logically speaking, Ge Zaoshan, who has finally turned around, will definitely not live in peace with Longhu Mountain. Revenge is a matter of course. But the strange thing is that in these years, apart from taking Nanchang Prefecture into its hands, Gezao Mountain has not put Longhu Mountain in too much danger, and continues to maintain the situation of two tigers coexisting.

"Ge Zaoshan has been doing these despicable things like cheating and plagiarism for a day or two. Senior brother, you don't have to worry about it at all."

Yang Long complimented Zhang Qingxi's words and said with an excited expression: "It seems that our Taoist order will finally start to fight back. I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"

"Have Longhu ever bowed his head to others? Counterattack is only a matter of time. Right now, 'Daoting Wuchen' is just the first step we take, and there will be a second step soon."

Zhang Qingxi's tone was calm, but there was a hint of pride in his eyebrows: "Junior brother, have you heard any rumors in the mountain gate recently?"

Yang Long tentatively spoke: "Brother, are you talking about Zhang Tianshi?"

"That's right, Zhang Tianshi is now in the process of 'integration'. As long as he crosses this threshold, he can be promoted to the second rank. At that time, he will go down to the capital to make up for the lessons he has missed over the years for the little emperor. I used to often I heard the old man say that he was unworthy of the late emperor's trust, and even if he lost the dragon and tiger, he would never allow the emperor to be manipulated by treacherous ministers. "

Zhang Qingxi looked at Yang Long, whose face suddenly turned red and his eyes were full of fascination, and said with a smile: "So maybe at some point, Beizhili will become the basic base of our Longhu Mountain. By that day, if nothing happens, Junior Brother You can at least be allocated a place to control Longhu Mountain."

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Yang Long burst into tears of gratitude. He hurriedly cupped his hands and clasped his fists, straightened his waist, and almost hit his head on the roof of the car.

At this moment, the yellow scarf warrior driving in the front row reminded Zhang Qingxi that the Shangrao County government office was coming.

It was clearly noon when the sun was shining brightly, but the street where the government office was located was closed and even quieter than late at night.

The wheels ran over the smooth stone road that had been worn over the years, and slowly stopped in front of the blood-fresh government office.

"I have proposed to the Tianshi Mansion before. Nowadays, cultivating Taoism is in the dreamland of Huangliang. There is no need to make the basic disk look like this old and tattered one. But guess what, Yanglong? My father said in one sentence It can be renewed, but people’s hearts cannot be renewed, so he rejected me, and I don’t know what he thought.”

Zhang Qingxi opened the door and got out of the car while joking, but the moment his soles stepped on the bluestone street, a sudden bone-chilling chill completely froze his limbs.

Look through the door and over the eaves. Zhang Qingxi saw it clearly.

In the lobby filled with corpses, a man with a face immersed in shadows was sitting in the chair with his legs crossed.

He has a calm and calm temperament, like an experienced hunter who has dug a trap and is waiting for the prey to fall into the trap.

"Why are you still here?!"

Zhang Qingxi blurted out subconsciously, and the fear that surged in his heart gripped his heart. A series of complex and intense emotions such as fear, regret, unwillingness, etc. made him take a deep breath and blink his eyes.

In the moment when his vision was bright and dark, a fist with bony knuckles kept getting bigger and bigger in Zhang Qinglu's eyes. He could not feel the pain as he had lost his sense of pain, but the color in his eyes was quickly withdrawing, and endless darkness surged in like a tide.

The moment before he fainted, Zhang Qingxi saw a sharp-edged side face in a trance, but it was not the Chen Qisheng he knew.

"Who attacked me?"

The yellow scarf warrior on the side reacted and was about to rush forward to avenge his master, but his head was exploded by Li Jun with a fist.

Li Jun took Zhang Qingxi's collar and pulled him out of the car. He lowered his head and looked into the car. He saw a tall and thick Yanglong with his legs together and his hands firmly on his knees. Facing Li Jun's surprised gaze, he reluctantly He forced out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Master Yan, long time no see."

"You two? Is there anyone else?"

"No more." Yang Long shook his head quickly.

Li Jun had a regretful expression on his face and raised his chin at Yang Long: "Then what do we say, shall we fight?"

"I surrender."

Shangrao County Government Office.

Yang Long explained Zhang Qingxi's identity and the purpose of their trip, but found that Li Jun was still sitting leisurely in his place, with no intention of running away.

"You know clearly that someone has just bloodbathed this place, but you just chase after me like this? Are you really so unafraid of death?"

Who would have thought it was you here? Who would have thought that you would kill someone and still sit back and wait?
Yang Long kept slandering in his heart and said with a bitter smile: "Master Yan Jun, after all, Guangxin Mansion is the seat of the Longhu Mountain Sect."

"Oh"

Li Jun pretended to be surprised: "So you never thought that you would be killed by a carbine?"

"Sir, Longhu Mountain is in Guixi. It's not too far from here. If you feel relieved, it's best to..."

"It's better to escape soon, right?"

Li Jun picked up what Yang Long had left unfinished and said with a smile: "But I have just arrived. You, Longhu Mountain, didn't even give me time to rest. Isn't that a little too overbearing?"

"His weight is not light."

Yang Long pointed at Zhang Qingxi who was stepping on Li Jun's feet, and said earnestly: "The order of Taoism is not the order of Confucianism. It doesn't care about gains and losses. There will be endless troubles after killing him."

"Begging for mercy for him, but not for yourself. Yang Long, you really became loyal after entering the Tianshi Mansion."

Li Jun's voice was full of teasing.

It's no wonder that Li Jun is like this. When he was in the Japanese area, Yang Long once sang a double act with him, "Loyalty to the Liver and Righteousness to the Brave", which deceived the Tianshi Mansion into favor. Therefore, Li Jun knew very well what Yang Long was. what kind of person.

"If you insist on killing him, sir, can you give me a chance to live?"

Yang Long said anxiously: "Master Uncle Xuandou's matter has nothing to do with me. I even secretly sent news to Junior Brother Yang Xuanchen. He can testify for me!"

"Old Chen told me, but his original words were that you and he were using each other."

The expression on Yang Long's face was stiff, but he heard Li Jun change his subject: "But I can tell that he is still somewhat grateful to you, so I can save his life for you."

"Thank you, Lord Yan!"

"Don't worry yet." Li Jun tapped Zhang Qingxi on the ground with his tip: "If this person dies, can you still go back intact?"

Yang Long lowered his eyes and instantly understood what the other party meant.

He was appointed by Zhang Qingxi to go down the mountain, and in the eyes of Tianshi Mansion, he was naturally Zhang Qingxi's person.

Now that the 'master' is dead, how can he, a 'servant', remain unscathed?
It seems that only the military dissolution can make it through.
Yang Long's expression hesitated for a moment, as if it was difficult to make the decision to fight.

"The only way for you is to fight. When you wake up on the mountain, everyone will have to say whether you recognize each other. So why not talk more now?"

Li Jun lifted Zhang Qingxi's body with his toes, and a mechanical arm suddenly stretched out from behind. His five fingers clasped Zhang Qingxi's face, and the armor extended to wrap the entire head.

"We should have quite a bit of time now."

Li Jun pointed to the top of his head and asked with a smile: "It should be invisible now, right?"

"It's been three days since I left you, so I'll look at you with admiration. Master Li Xin, you've changed a lot."

Yang Long sighed, and the cowardice and fear of death on his face faded like a tide, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I am just a good doctor after a long illness. But Yanglong, you are still the same as before."

The current Yang Long is the "formation" Celestial Master in Li Jun's memory who, as a Celestial Master with a foreign surname, toyed with Zhang Qinglu, Zhang Qingsheng and other direct descendants of Longhu Mountain!
"It's all just to survive." Yang Long laughed to himself.
