Chapter 547 Dragon and tiger kill evil spirits

Longhu Mountain, Patriarch Hall.

Gray bricks, red columns, white walls, dim light, closed and windowless.

The altar enshrines the statues of Zhang Daoling, the founder of dragon and tiger, and his disciples Wang Chang and Zhao Sheng. There are huge dragon and tiger statues guarding the left and right, and dark red light flows from time to time in the eyes of the dragon and the tiger.

The Ancestral Heavenly Master sits high on the Sumeru Seat, with plump eyebrows and wide forehead, green eyes and red crown, and a majestic appearance.

There are three bright yellow futons lined up under the seats. The people sitting cross-legged on them have their eyes closed and they are making seals, as if they are wandering in the sky.

Suddenly, the Taoist sitting cross-legged on the futon on the left suddenly opened his eyes, and green thunder suddenly appeared in his eyes, illuminating the entire Patriarch Hall in an instant.

At the same time, in the walls on the left and right of the main hall, tens of thousands of candles as thick as a child's arm lit themselves, and the loud sounds of scriptures and the sound of Dharma bells intertwined, as if invisible hands pushed open two heavy hall doors several feet high, and rushed out Long corridor.

"Senior Brother Chongyuan, now is the critical period for Zhang Tianshi to join the Tao. Why do you want to leave the cave with your true body?"

The voice of inquiry came from nowhere and rang in Zhang Chongyuan's ears.

"I have some thorny matters that need to be dealt with. I will come back after I finish them. It won't take long."

A deep chuckle came, Zhang Chongyuan waved his sleeves, turned around and strode away.

The moment he stepped across the threshold of the Patriarch Hall, invisible ripples rippled in the air.

Zhang Chongyuan seemed to have passed through a barrier that separated humans and gods. His linen clothes instantly turned into ashes. His exposed body had no trace of flesh and blood from the neck down. The mechanical bones glowing with white jade were engraved with Taoist seals as small as mosquitoes. His abdomen There is a fist-sized ball-shaped foundation suspended in the cavity, and cyan electric light is constantly emitting from it as it rotates.

There were already yellow turban warriors holding clothes in the corridor waiting here, waiting around Zhang Chongyuan step by step.

Dressed and tied up, wearing a crown and cloak, when the corridor was over, a magnificent sea of ​​clouds appeared in front of the Taoist.

The high-pitched crane call sounded from deep in the clouds, and a huge white crane soared into the sky, its scarlet eyes flashing with human-like joy.

The white crane fell in front of the Taoist, with its neck lowered and its head lowered. The trembling crane feathers in both hands made a clanging sound like a sword.

Zhang Chongyuan swung the sleeves of his robe, put his hands behind his back, and floated up into the air on his own, landing on the back of the white crane.

The white crane fluttered its wings and leaned down to break through the sea of ​​clouds. Suddenly, the sight was clear of the flattened peaks and countless palaces scattered among them.

At this moment, the sound of the Sutra and Dharma bells falling from a high place was extremely loud, resounding throughout the entire Longhu Mountain.

"Welcome the Heavenly Master to come out of seclusion."

Tianshi Mansion, the main hall of the Tiju Department.

There was a chilling chill in the majestic and quiet hall. The powerful officials of the Supervisory Academy and the Nine Departments in Longhu Mountain were sitting cross-legged at the foot of the stairs with their eyes lowered and motionless, not daring to make any sound. .

They naturally knew why Zhang Chongyuan came out of seclusion.

When the news of Zhang Qingxi's death in the Tianshi Mansion's Promotion Bureau came back to Longhu Mountain, they had already expected this scene.

As for accompanying Dao Xuyang Long's soldiers and the Taoist official stationed in Shangrao County being killed, those are trivial matters compared with the death of Zhang Qingxi.

On the high platform, Zhang Chongyuan looked down at the people below like a king, with no trace of anger on his calm face.

But the calmer he became, the more uneasy everyone became.

"Where is the Xuantan Palace Supervisory Court?"

The suffocating silence was finally broken. Zhang Qingyu, the Taoist leader of the Xuantan Hall, stood up and saluted with his hands raised.

"I will give you the power to mobilize the two Heavenly Master Mansion's three masters who sealed the generation sequence of 'Xi'. With the help of the elites of the nine dragon and tiger tribes, they will immediately go down the mountain to kill the evil demon Li Jun and his associates. There will be no mistakes."

"Zhang Qingyu, Supervisor of the Xuantan Palace, respectfully abides by the decree of the Heavenly Lord."

Zhang Qingyu respectfully accepted the order.

"Where is the Supervisory Court of the Law and Seal Script Bureau?"

Sitting next to Zhang Qingyu, Zhang Qingli's eyes were distracted and he seemed to be in a daze. He trembled all over and hurriedly got up from the futon.

"From now on, all the stars in the sky above Guangxin Mansion are operating at full strength, patrolling day and night, and cooperating with Xuan Tan Hall to track the traces of Li Jun and others without making any mistakes."

"The Law and Seal Bureau will strictly abide by the decree of the Heavenly Lord."

Zhang Chongyuan looked at Zhang Qingli, who looked slightly tired, and couldn't help but frown slightly: "As for the Taoist weapons and talismans, as long as it is needed for this demon slaying, regardless of grade and quantity, your Dharma and Seal Bureau must unconditionally satisfy it, do you understand? "

"clear."

Zhang Qingli's face hanging in his arms showed a helpless smile.

"Chief Doubu, where is he?"

A middle-aged man named Daoxu, who looked about thirty or forty years old, jumped up when he heard the sound and bowed to Zhang Chongyuan on the stage.

"Yang Zong, the chief officer of the Dou Department, has met the Great Heavenly Master."

A series of suspicious glances were cast from all around, making Yang Zong feel like a light on his back. Dao Ji in his belly was nervously twitching and spasming, and bursts of severe pain surged out.

It is not surprising that two members of the Zhang family who hold important positions have been entrusted with important tasks.

But everyone present was surprised that Yangzong would be named by Zhang Chongyuan.

In fact, it wasn't just them, even Yang Zong himself couldn't figure out why the great heavenly master on the stage called him.

There is no other reason. Although the current Doubu has been reorganized, abandoned the old-school route with no future, and returned to the new-school righteousness, the strength of the entire department is still very weak. Even Yang Zong, who is the chief officer, is only mediocre. Promoted to Dao Four, hanging at the bottom of Bai Yujing's Earth Immortal ranking.

To deal with a demon with a notorious reputation like Li Jun, Dou Bu now simply wants to die if he gets close to him.

Therefore, Yang Zong's thoughts changed rapidly, and he realized that the reason why the Great Heavenly Master pointed out to him could only be because of his identity.

Yang Zong was once an old-school Daoxu of the Douban, but he gave up this path a long time ago and switched to other branches.

After Dou Bu was eliminated, he was appointed to be responsible for the reconstruction of Dou Bu.

In other words, Yang Zong also studied under Xuandou and was Chen Qisheng's senior brother.

Thinking of this, Yang Zong couldn't help but tremble slightly. Although the amplitude was small, he could clearly see all the Taoist order present.

"From today on, you will also be responsible for the duties of the Supervisor of the Tijuan Office. You will be in charge of all Taoist officials stationed in Guangxin Mansion and maintain the stability of believers within the territory without any mistakes."

"Yang Zong. I sincerely abide by the decree of the Heavenly Lord."

Zhang Chongyuan looked around at the people below the steps, his lips slightly parted, but the voice coming out was like thunder.

"After the division of martial arts in the world, this is the first time someone dares to challenge me in Longhu Mountain, and it is also a remnant of Wu Xu and a traitor of Longhu. I will never tolerate it. This matter is related to Zhang Tianshi's decree and the reputation of Longhu Mountain. If anyone dares If you don’t work hard, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

"I will obey the decree of the Heavenly Lord."

Tianshi Mansion, Wanfa Zongtan.

Yang Long, who had just woken up after the soldier's liberation, had just opened his eyes, and before he had time to adapt to his new body sealed in the magic coffin, he was carried away by two yellow scarf warriors who suddenly broke in.

The dragging along made Yang Long's naked feet dripping with blood. Still in a weak state, he endured the pain and raised his eyes to look at the main hall that appeared in front of him.

Yang Long is no stranger to this place, the Xuan Tan Hall of the Tianshi Mansion.

"It's expected, but it's so fast. It seems that a great heavenly master has come out to take charge of the overall situation?"

Yang Long laughed to himself in his heart, and was then dragged into the palace.

Pfft!
Yang Long was thrown rudely onto the cold floor tiles by the Yellow Turban strongman. Before he could get up, a cold voice came from above his head.

"Yang Long, do you know me?"

"Yang Long, who was promoted to the Dao of the Tianshi Mansion, has met the Master of the Supervisory Court of the Xuantan Hall."

Yang Long curled up and knelt on the ground, with blood still oozing out from the soles of his feet.

"When did you enter the Tianshi Mansion?"

"After the trial in the Japanese area, thanks to the grace of Master Qingsheng, I was promoted from the 'Array Department' to the Tianshi Mansion."

"Among the people who entered the Japanese area with you were Qing lawyer disciples and the traitor Chen Qisheng, right?"

Yang Long's heart trembled, "As far as the Master is concerned, people from the Nine Dragon and Tiger Tribes were sent to participate in that trial." "Well, of course these Masters know about it. Let me ask you, who killed Zhang Qinglu?"

"Li Jun, one of the hundred Jinyiwei households of Inuyama City in the Japanese area."

"What is Chen Qisheng's role among them?"

"Inuyama Castle's Imperial Guard Guest."

"Then do you know where Zhang Qingsheng died?"

"I heard that when something happened to Master Qingsheng in the Japanese area, I had already returned to Longhu Mountain and was not involved."

"The Master told you that Zhang Qingsheng died in Edo City. And the person who killed him was Chen Qisheng. Yanglong, raise your head."

Yang Long slowly raised his head, and Zhang Qingyu was sitting in the Grand Master's chair not far away.

"Let me ask you, there are over a hundred people promoted to the Tianshi Mansion, why did the Qingxi Prison only appoint you to go down the mountain with him?"

Zhang Qingyu's eyes were as sharp as a sword, piercing Yang Long's face.

A strong sense of oppression came over me.

"Qingxi Prison said that he took a fancy to my personality and ability."

"Ah."

Zhang Qingyu smiled contemptuously, and continued to ask without comment on Yang Long's answer: "Who attacked you in Shangrao County Government Office?"

"Li Jun."

"Why did he appear there? Why not Chen Qisheng?"

Yang Long swallowed, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"Then did he do it directly, or did he say something?"

"Not a word."

"Then why did Qingxi Prison die and disappear, but you were able to escape?"

"I do not know."

Yang Long's voice was harsh and hoarse as he murmured: "Perhaps Li Jun's target is only Qingxi Prison, and a small role like me is not worth mentioning at all."

"Zhang Qingxi went to Shangrao County. Apart from you, he only took one fourth-grade yellow scarf warrior with him."

Zhang Qingyu said with an indifferent expression: "I can tell you that after you surrendered, Daojun Chongyuan fought with Li Jun through the sky track stars, but he failed to kill him on the spot. With Li Jun's strength, if you want to let Your soul is in disarray, it’s just a matter of help.”

"I don't understand what you mean, Master." Yang Long's face turned red, and the veins on his forehead were pulsing.

"My point is very simple. Why is it that Qingxi Prison is dead but you have a chance to fight?"

Zhang Qingyu said word by word: "Tell me, why is this?"

"What the prison hospital means is that I should also die together with the Qingxi prison hospital. This is the only way to prove my innocence, right?"

"Ok?"

Yang Long's angry roar made Zhang Qingyu frown.

"Yang Long, you'd better see clearly who you are talking to now."

"Of course I can see clearly."

Yang Long staggered up on his knees, and his head hanging to the ground whispered in grief and anger: "But this doesn't mean I have to admit things I didn't do."

"I did not betray Longhu Mountain."

Yang Long suddenly raised his head, his red eyes looking directly at the red-robed Taoist in front of him, "I am more angry than anyone else about the death of Qingxi Prison. I hate Wu Xu Li Jun, and I hate myself even more for failing to protect Qingxi." Prison Court, I couldn't do anything in the situation at that time, I couldn't even stand in front of Qingxi Prison Court."

"If Qingyu Prison thinks that I am suspected of collaborating with the enemy, they can search my soul. I, Yang Long, will never resist. Even if I lose my mind afterwards, I will have no complaints, as long as the Lord of the Prison can restore my innocence. enough!"

The roar echoed in the hall and lingered for a long time.

Yang Long gasped for air, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Zhang Qingyu's face was gloomy, and he stared at Yang Long, as if trying to catch a hint of disguise in his expression.

"Come on, give me a pleasure and give me my innocence!"

Yang Long could no longer bear such humiliation and roared angrily again.

"Junior Brother Yanglong, you misunderstood."

Just like a sudden rainstorm and a sudden clearing of the sky, Zhang Qingyu laughed very suddenly.

"The reason why I didn't search for your soul is precisely because, like Junior Brother Qingxi, I also believe in your character. Otherwise, based on your behavior of roaring at Xuantan Hall, I can kill you on the spot right now. ”

Zhang Qingyu's attitude changed drastically. Yang Long's violently heaving chest suddenly stopped, and a sound like air leakage came from his clenched teeth. His whole figure seemed to have been ripped out of his spine, and he staggered back several steps. , paralyzed to the ground.

"I believe that Junior Brother Qingxi's death has nothing to do with you, but the death penalty can be avoided, but you cannot be exempted from the crime of failing to protect yourself."

Yang Long, who was surviving the disaster, was covered in sweat. The feeling of weakness made his eyes darken, and he managed to say with a trembling voice: "I accept the punishment."

"Of course you have to be punished, but we'll talk about how to punish you later."

Zhang Qingyu raised his hand, and two yellow scarf warriors walked out of the shadows in the corner and helped Yang Long, who was paralyzed on the ground, to stand up.

"Heavenly Lord Chongyuan rewards you with an opportunity to make meritorious deeds."

"Thank you so much, Lord Chongyuan!"

Yang Long whined, and his body that had just stood firm fell violently, as if he wanted to grab the ground with his head, but was firmly grasped by the yellow scarf warrior.

"What do you need from your disciples, Dao Lord, please ask Qingyu Supervisor to make it clear."

"Don't worry, someone will tell you what to do. Your top priority now is to go to the Ten Thousand Fa Sect Altar to receive a Taoist base as soon as possible. After your body is stable, you can report back to the office."

Two yellow scarf warriors dragged Yang Long outside.

"Oh, by the way, the current Supervisor of the Office of Promotion is Yang Zong. From now on, you will obey his orders. Do you understand?"

Yanglong, who was unable to salute, nodded repeatedly as he was being dragged along, and shouted gratefully: "I will obey the decree of the Heavenly Lord, and I will obey the decree of the Supervisory Court."

Outside the Xuantan Hall, the sun was blazing, and the golden sunlight was piercing and dazzling.

Yang Long, who had made a circle in front of the gate of hell, stood in the square in front of the temple, wearing a Taoist robe mixed with blood and sweat, with his hair in a messy bun on his head, looking in a miserable state.

The people around him passed by him in a hurry, and no one cared at all except for a look of disgust.

Yang Long combed his hair as if there was no one around, not caring that he was barefoot and walking step by step on the hot gold brick floor.

The pace is slow and the landing is extremely stable.

Compared with how to quickly restore his strength after the defeat, Yang Long is now more concerned about one issue.

That is, Chen Qisheng has dug his spiritual orifice, how can he link into his own cave?
I, who have always been cautious, actually made such a stupid mistake.

"Liu Jinxun, how could you make such a stupid mistake?"

Chongqing Fufu Yamen, a square table is placed in the courtyard.

The clay stove holds the charcoal fire and boils the soup in the iron pot until it makes a gurgling sound.

The spicy aroma rises with the heat, and the fiery red chili peppers and various spices float up and down in the boiling soup, making people's fingers tantalize.

"Jinling is also in the south. When you eat hot pot, you don't use an oil dish, but use sesame sauce?!"

Pei Xingjian chewed a piece of beef and shouted at the old man sitting opposite.
