People are among the Eight Immortals, starting from Painted Skin Ghost

Chapter 179 When Rong Pindao shows the means of a real person, he is the king of exorcism, how can you be deceived! 【Subscribe】

At that time, the sky was clearing up.

In the middle of the corner, the East Market is still quite lively.

People come and go, traffickers and pawns, yelling, and the market is full of scammers.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead.

A large number of yamen servants rushed over here.

Accompanied by shouting and scolding.

Not long after, the crowd cleared most of East Mayor Street, leaving a spacious space.

As soon as the common people saw this situation, they all gathered together and stood outside the arena, discussing endlessly:
"What's the matter?"

"How come such a group of officials are here?"

"Looking at this battle, it is estimated that someone is about to beheaded!"

"Behead, who did you kill?"

"A few days ago, it was said that Du Ping, a great talent in our county, was sent to death row. It was only because he saw the fortune and killed the eldest son of the Dai family, Dai Heng."

"That Du Dacai has always been a gentleman, and the family has a lot of spare money. How could he see Cai and kill the eldest son Dai Heng?"

"There is probably something strange about it."

"How do we ordinary people know the way of the yamen? Just watch the excitement..."

"..."

Soon.

The county magistrate Na Yan arrived here in a sedan chair.

Opening the curtain, I saw that he was wearing a green robe and a gauze hat.

After getting off the sedan chair, the county magistrate Yan looked around first.

Wherever they looked, the people quickly lowered their heads.

Seeing this, County Magistrate Yan didn't speak, but walked to a temporary monitoring platform accompanied by the master.

After he sat down, he took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and asked Master Wen beside him:
"When will the prison van arrive?"

"Soon." Master Wen said.

Not long after, a car wheel sounded on the long street.

When the onlookers heard it, they all turned around and looked over.

I saw a scholar standing on the prison cart.

His hair was disheveled, his eyes were dull, and his stained prison uniform was stained with blood, which was very dazzling under the sunlight.

"He is really a talented Du!"

"I didn't expect that he would be the one who beheaded!"

Someone recognized Du Ping and couldn't help shouting.

"Could it be that Du Dacai really killed Mr. Dai's family?"

"This is impossible!"

"Weren't the two of you friends before? Then how could the great talent Du be so ruthless?"

"..."

On the field, there were also some students among the onlookers.

Seeing that it was Du Ping who was escorted to the execution ground, he was stunned, a little unbelievable.

Du Ping was already disheartened, and he turned a deaf ear to the whispering voices around him.

After getting out of the prison car, a jailer led him to the stage.

"Du Ping, because you coveted the ancestral jade pendant of that Dai's family, you were greedy and ignorant, and you poisoned Dai Heng to death. Now the evidence is convincing. The government's ultimatum has arrived. This county will punish you and kill you as an example to others!"

"Before you die, what else do you have to say?"

The county magistrate of Yan Gao sat on the prison platform, looked at Du Ping, and said righteously.

"If you want to add a crime, why bother?"

"County Yan, don't talk too much with me, just do it!"

Facing the sanctimonious magistrate Yan, Du Ping sneered.

Immediately, he ignored it, turned his back, and walked towards the executioner.

Seeing this, County Magistrate Yan couldn't help being furious, and shouted:
"What a Du Ping, how dare you despise me like this!"

"Since you are in a hurry to die, I will help you!"

The voice fell.

He picked up a command arrow and threw it out viciously!

"Execution!"

Say it.

A big man with a face swept across his waist and a red scarf around his waist suddenly drank a bowl of wine, then spat it on the knife forcefully, and the wine was covered with spittle and scattered in an instant.

Suddenly, he raised the knife, looked at Du Ping's head, and swung it hard!

Seeing that Du Ping was about to be beheaded, some timid people present quickly covered their eyes, even the county magistrate Yan lost his previous concentration and narrowed his eyes.

At the time of life and death, Du Ping suddenly felt a chill in the back of his head, knowing that his head would fall to the ground, he closed his eyes.

however.

Just at this juncture.

Above the void, suddenly there was a thunderclap.

Between lightning and flint, a golden light fell from the clouds and directly hit the executioner's butcher's knife.

There was a click, and the butcher knife instantly turned into powder.

The executioner was frightened by the sudden situation, his face was as pale as paper, and he slumped on the ground.

at the same time.

The county magistrate Yan, Master Wen and other government servants present also froze in place.

Looking at this scene in disbelief.

what happened?

Is this someone robbing the court?

Even the crowd watching put down their hands, instead of covering their eyes, they looked around in surprise, looking around, as if they were looking for something?
next moment.

The sky above the East City was covered with dark clouds, thunder and lightning.

A gust of wind blew up in the arena for no reason, only breaking the wine flag and flying sand and stones.

And the people around the practice field were blown up and down, and it was difficult for them to stand still.

When the strong wind dissipated, Du Ping suddenly disappeared on the execution ground.

"What about people?"

"Where did Du Ping go?"

Seeing that the person was gone, magistrate Yan couldn't help but look horrified, stood up, and asked.

"Big... my lord!"

A yamen servant shouted in a low voice, for fear of offending the county magistrate Yan.

"what's up?"

The magistrate Yan glared at the man.

"Hat...hat."

The Yacha carefully pointed to the not far away and said.

The words fall.

Only then did the magistrate Yan realize that his black hat was blown off at some point.

"Idiot, don't you know how to pick it up for me?"

Yan county magistrate was annoyed.

Hearing this, the yamen officer ran over in a hurry and brought the black gauze hat back to magistrate Yan.

Although he put on the black gauze hat again, magistrate Yan felt a little uneasy at the moment.

Do not know why?

This act of blowing off the hat seems to mean some kind of ominous sign?
"My lord, this Du Ping was probably rescued by someone using a demon method!"

"We can't stay here any longer."

With Du Ping's sudden disappearance, the court was thrown into chaos.

The yamen servants were all in shock, and the people around them also felt strange.

Some people even thought that Du Ping was wrongly sentenced, and Wenquxing couldn't stand it that day, so he rescued the great talent Du.

Gradually, the common people made an uproar, which seemed to be uncontrollable.

Sensing that something was wrong, Master Wen hurriedly said to County Magistrate Yan.

"Correct!"

"Go back to the county office first!"

After Master Jingwen reminded him like this, County Magistrate Yan also reacted.

After tidying up his clothes, he left the execution platform.

Before getting on the sedan chair, he immediately told the servants present:
"Send down the order to search for Du Ping in the whole city!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The group of yamen hurriedly responded.

After finishing speaking, county magistrate Yan left Dongshi in a hurry in a sedan chair.

The yamen servants complained in their hearts, thinking that the fact that Du Ping was rescued was really strange, it seemed to be the work of ghosts and gods.

Even the county magistrate did not dare to stay here for too long.

I wanted to resist at the moment, but I still bit the bullet and searched the street.

the other side.

The people around also dispersed.

Before leaving, everyone said that Du Ping was rescued by the Wenqu star in the sky.

Some people also said that he was rescued by the city god and the land father...

But no matter how you say it, it's really weird.

That night, the news spread throughout the city.

……

……

Du Ping woke up.

He opened his eyes and found himself on the bank of a river.

In addition, all the injuries on his body healed out of thin air, and there were no scars left.

Even changed into clean clothes.

Earlier, on the execution ground, Du Ping was blown down by the strong wind, and he passed out suddenly.

He clearly remembered that the executioner's butcher's knife on the field was smashed by a golden light just now, and then a strong wind blew up, and what happened after that was unclear.

"you're awake."

When he was at a loss, a gentle voice suddenly came.

Du Ping looked for his reputation, but saw a Taoist with loose crane bones coming on waves.

Seeing this, Du Ping stared at this person in disbelief.

"You... who are you?"

"You saved me?"

Looking at him, Du Ping was so frightened that he couldn't even stand up, and asked with a look of horror.

"That's right, my name is Han Xiangzi, and I'm a cultivator in Zhongnan Mountain."

"Previously, it was Pindao who saved you on the execution ground."

Han Xiangzi nodded and smiled casually.

Said that after he left Chang'an yesterday, he rushed to Lantian County on the same day.

After staying here all night, after dawn, he used his divine sense to find out the whereabouts of Du Ping.

In the end, when he was about to be beheaded, he rescued him.

"It turned out to be Master Han."

"I beg Immortal Master Han, save one more person!"

"This person, named Zhong Li, is currently being held in the prison in Lantian County."

After learning of Han Xiangzi's identity, Du Ping immediately knelt down to him and kowtowed.

"There's no need to save her, she'll be fine."

Hearing this, Han Xiangzi said calmly.

"Why is the immortal master so sure?"

Du Ping frowned, somewhat incomprehensible.

Han Xiangzi smiled and said, "Because, he is the sister of the Sage Monarch of the Town House."

"Sage Lord of Town House Exorcism?"

Du Ping was taken aback for a moment, then thoughtfully said:

"Zhong Li is my brother Zhong Kui's sister, how can she be the sister of the town house and demon slayer?"

"The immortal master is probably joking with me."

Han Xiangzi smiled and explained:

"Pindao didn't joke with you, the sage who slays demons in the town house is Zhong Kui."

"To tell you the truth, because of Zhong Kui's meritorious service in catching ghosts, today's emperor has named him the holy king of town house exorcising demons, and buried him with the ceremony of number one scholar. At this moment, Zhong Kui is rushing to Lantian County with Cui Shilang from the Ministry of Rites."

Hearing this, Du Ping was shocked and said in disbelief:
"what?!"

"Brother Zhong Kui was conferred the title of the Holy Lord of Town House and Elimination of Demons by the Holy Master, how is this possible!"

"There will be no fakes. If not, Pindao would not have rushed to Lantian County to rescue you." Han Xiangzi said with a serious look.

"That's right, my big brother Zhong Kui has always been upright and upright. He is not afraid of the rich and powerful, and dared to bump into a beam and die. He must become a ghost after death, and he can make a difference."

Du Ping came back to his senses, comforted himself, and calmed down.

Not long after, he stood up and bowed solemnly to Han Xiangzi:
"Du Ping is grateful for the help of the immortal master!"

"Please Immortal Master, accept my worship!"

Han Xiangzi waved his hands and said:

"You don't have to be so polite, it's your life that shouldn't die."

Then he asked again:

"Speaking of how you were imprisoned? Have you ever been wronged?"

In Han Xiangzi's view, the reason why the nine-color lotus would warn him about Du Ping's danger was probably because Zhong Kui knew him well.

In other words, he and Zhong Kui have been involved in a cause and effect.

This Zhong Kui is the god of all dharmas in later generations.

Now that he is the successor of Emperor Zhenwu, it is quite good to be able to form a good relationship with him, in Han Xiangzi's opinion.

"Master Immortal, I don't know something."

"Xiaosheng was framed by others."

Speaking of this, Du Ping sighed and said bitterly.

"What's the grievance, just say it."

"Brother Zhong Kui will arrive in Lantian County in a few days, and he will definitely clear up your grievances by then."

Seeing this, Han Xiangzi said.

"The thing is like this, more than half a month ago, Dai Heng and I received an invitation from Brother Peng to go to his house for a drink."

"At that time, I drank until midnight, and I was almost drunk, so I proposed to go home first."

"But as soon as I got home and went to bed, a gang of government servants broke in and took me to jail without saying a word, saying that I was greedy for the twin-tailed jade pendant and couldn't be sold, so they planned to poison Dai Heng to death."

"Although Dai Heng and I are not siblings, we have a deep friendship. It is absolutely impossible to murder him because of the twin-tailed jade pendant."

"But County Magistrate Yan bit him to death. I poisoned him to death!"

"Afterwards, the twin-tailed jade pendant was found in my home."

"Sister Zhong Li bought the jailer to visit me the next day after she learned that I was being imprisoned. When she found out that I was wronged, she ran around. Unfortunately, it was of no avail. In the end, she was also imprisoned for me."

Du Ping went over the ins and outs of the matter, and explained to Han Xiangzi concisely.

"It seems that Zhong Li has a lot of affection for you."

After hearing this, Han Xiangzi sighed with emotion.

"Now that things have happened, Xiaosheng can't care about the love of this girl, but sister Zhong Li has nothing to repay me for such a kindness..."

Du Ping shook his head and sighed.

"In this matter, from the point of view of the poor, it is likely that someone wants to frame you!"

"It's probably Brother Peng you're talking about."

Han Xiangzi was so careful that he had already guessed the murderer.

"The immortal master is really perceptive!"

Hearing this, Du Ping's expression changed, and he couldn't help praising.

Immediately afterwards, he changed the subject, and there was a hint of hatred in his tone:
"Xiaosheng didn't expect that Peng Maochang was a man with a face of a beast. He designed to frame me and put me to death in every possible way. One was for Zhong Li, and the other was for the twin-tailed jade pendant of the Dai family."

"What is the origin of the twin-tailed jade pendant?"

Han Xiangzi asked curiously after hearing this.

Dupin explained:
"This double-tailed jade pendant belongs to the ancestors of the Dai family. It is said that hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the Dai family accidentally caught a piece of Yuedai jade in the Yudai River. This jade is the best of Lantian jade. Once the ancestors of the Dai family obtained it, It was through searching for skilled craftsmen at that time that they made a pair of jade pendants with two tails."

"This jade pendant is divided into Yin and Yang."

"If it is worn by a loving person, you can love it for a hundred years, and you don't have to go through the pain of reincarnation after death."

"After I was imprisoned, Zhong Li's sister ran for me and begged Peng Maochang. At that time, Peng Maochang said that as long as Zhong Li was willing to marry him, he would persuade the magistrate Yan to release him."

"But Miss Zhong Li is a fierce person, so she naturally won't agree."

"After learning that there was no result to reverse the case for me, I chose to come to the prison and die with me."

After listening to it for a while, Han Xiangzi suddenly realized:
"I see."

"This plan really kills two birds with one stone!"

Here, Du Ping sighed again when he thought of the current situation, and said pessimistically:
"It's a pity, although I know that Peng Maochang framed me, but I have no evidence. I'm afraid that Brother Zhong Kui will not be able to reverse the case for me when he arrives in Lantian County?"

"It's not easy to overturn the case. Pindao can let the ghost of Dai Heng come here to testify against Peng Maochang's evil deeds." Han Xiangzi laughed.

The words fall.

Du Ping was terrified, his spine felt chills, and he thought highly of Han Xiangzi a lot.

Unexpectedly, the immortal master in front of him is still so capable, but he can bring the ghost back to the underworld.

Seeing Du Ping's worried expression, Han Xiangzi smiled and said nothing.

What he said about confining the soul to come here is just the worst way.

In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome to win a Peng Maochang.

The case of the two-tailed jade pendant, now, it is not difficult for Han Xiangzi to see that it was a collusion between the government and businessmen.

If it wasn't for Peng Maochang's collusion with Yan County magistrate, how could it be so easy to settle Du Ping's case?
While thinking about it, Han Xiangzi said to Du Ping:

"Pindao has healed your injuries. In the past few days, you will go on a tour with the poor Taoist. After Zhong Kui Daoist arrives, I will go to Lantian County to reverse the case for you."

"I'm afraid that the county magistrate Yan has noticed and destroyed the evidence in advance."

Du Ping worried.

"It doesn't matter, even if it is destroyed, Pindao can punish it."

Han Xiangzi spoke leisurely.

……

……

That night.

The fact that Du Ping was rescued by an immortal has spread wildly in Lantian County.

The Peng family, Peng Maochang, was so frightened that he couldn't eat and drink when he heard about this, he sneaked to the county government that night.

"County magistrate Yan, what a disaster!"

"Then how did Du Ping get kidnapped?"

"You took 3000 taels of silver from me. If Du Ping doesn't die, once things fail, you and I will die!"

The county government office, the inner hall.

Peng Maochang looked at the magistrate Yan and said anxiously.

This Peng Maochang looks to be in his early thirties, dressed like a dandy, he looks good, but his complexion is a bit dull, his eye sockets are sunken, his face is dull, and he looks like he has had too much sex.

"Mr. Peng, it will take time to find someone."

"What's more, in the blue sky and broad daylight, Du Ping was rescued for no reason. Now it is rumored that he was rescued by an immortal? How do you ask me to find it?"

County magistrate Yan gave him a blank look and asked back.

"How about that?"

Peng Maochang said anxiously.

"There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. Mr. Peng doesn't need to panic, the worst thing is to leave Lantian County."

The county magistrate Yan took it easy and showed him the way.

Hearing this, Peng Maochang's face changed slightly, he took a deep look at the county magistrate Yan, and said indifferently:

"Magistrate Yan, I'm afraid it's a joke. My Peng family's property is all in Lantian County. How can I leave?"

"Mr. Peng, I am asking you whether your family property is more important or your life is more important?"

The county magistrate Yan sneered and asked.

"This……"

Peng Maochang couldn't answer for a while.

Seeing that Peng Maochang was stunned, County Magistrate Yan added fuel to the fire, urging him to say:
"Tell me the truth, Mr. Peng, the reason why I want to kill Du Ping today is because Zhong Li's brother, Zhong Kui, has been conferred by the Holy Master as the Holy King of Town House Exorcism, and he will come here with the Minister of Rites soon."

"At this time, if I were you, I would have escaped long ago?"

"Would you come to the county government to waste time at this time?"

Say it.

Peng Maochang's face changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly, with a tremor in his voice:
"what?!"

"Then Zhong... Zhong Kui is not dead?"

"I don't know whether you are dead or not, because if he arrives, Mr. Peng will be finished, and no one will be able to save your life then!"

County magistrate Yan's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out, Peng Maochang panicked instantly.

He coveted Zhong Li's beauty, and he became greedy for the twin-tailed jade pendant passed down from generation to generation, so he conspired with County Magistrate Yan to frame Du Ping.

Now that Du Ping has been rescued, once Zhong Kui arrives in Lantian County, he may not be able to hide his nasty things.

At that time, maybe I really have the fear of my life!

Thinking of this, Peng Maochang couldn't sit still.

I feel that magistrate Yan reminded me that I have to leave Lantian County as soon as possible.

So, he hurriedly bowed his hands to the magistrate Yan and said:

"County magistrate Yan, I remembered that there is still a little trivial matter at home that I haven't dealt with. I'm bothering you tonight, so I'll go back."

After finishing speaking, before the county magistrate Yan agreed, he hurriedly left the county government office.

Watching Peng Maochang leave in such a state of embarrassment, County Magistrate Yan kept teasing.

As soon as Peng Maochang left, Master Wen walked in and said with a smile:

"My lord, Mr. Peng will definitely escape from Lantian County overnight after you say that."

"Send a few powerful men, pretend to let him out of the city first, and then kill him when he is in no man's land. Remember not to leave anyone alive, and burn him down afterward."

Hearing this, County Magistrate Yan laughed wickedly, with a sinister smile on his lips.

But said.

Since Na Du Ping was rescued today, County Magistrate Yan and Master Wen have been thinking about how to deal with it.

In the end, I thought of the trick of abandoning the car to save the handsome man!
As long as Peng Maochang dies, whether Du Ping is dead or alive, everything will be dead without proof!
In addition, County Magistrate Yan can also take the opportunity to swallow the property of the Peng family!

"My lord, don't worry, the little one will send someone to do it."

Hearing this, Master Wen smiled sinisterly.

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the house.

……

the other side.

As soon as Peng Maochang left the county office, he rushed to Peng's house in a hurry.

As soon as he got home, he immediately asked his wife and concubine to pack up their belongings and escaped from Lantian County with him.

Regarding this, his wives and concubines did not dare to ask more questions, seeing that their husband's expression was extremely bad, they could only obey orders.

And Peng Maochang went to the warehouse, and ordered all the gold, silver, jewelry, and beautiful jade in the house to be packed into the carriage.

After a lot of tossing, it was only in the middle of the night that we packed up together.

Immediately, Peng Maochang took several confidant servants, drove three carriages, and drove out of the city gate of Lantian County.

Although the gate of the city had already been closed after dark, it could naturally be opened with the help of Peng Maochang's connections.

What's more, the soldiers guarding the city have already been ordered by the magistrate Yan, as long as Peng Maochang leaves the city, he must open it!

Under the night, Peng Maochang looked back and saw that the city gate was gradually being pulled away, and his uneasiness became less.

But in order to avoid long nights and dreams, he kept urging the groom to hurry up.

In this way, after walking for about a few miles, the carriage suddenly stopped in a deserted suburb.

"Why did you stop?"

"Let's go quickly!"

Seeing this, Peng Maochang was annoyed, and couldn't help scolding the groom.

"My lord, someone is blocking the way ahead!"

The groom said in a panic.

"Block the way?"

Hearing this, Peng Maochang's heart sank, he quickly opened the curtain, poked his head out:
"Who is blocking the way and telling him to get out of the way?"

However, his voice fell.

A voice came from the opposite side:
"Mr. Peng, where are you going in such a hurry?"

……
