The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 200 Catching Gods (Two in One)

The Land Lord hurried back and said to Lu Daoxian, "Someone outside surrounded your house, what happened?"

Lu Daoxian frowned slightly, and said, "I don't know, my father-in-law has clairvoyance, what did he see?"

The Land Lord paused and said, "I just didn't see clearly, so I'm asking you."

When Lu Daoxian heard the words, he was surprised and said, "How could it be? Could it be that..."

The land is fair: "Your house has already been sealed. Why did they come here, why did they come so quickly..."

The Lord of the Land muttered to himself, suddenly thought of something, his face changed in fear, he took a step back before glaring at Lu Daoxian and said, "You...you dare to bully me?"

Seeing this, Lu Daoxian took a step forward instead, and said anxiously: "Eunuch, what are you talking about? Eunuch is so kind to me. When I was a ghost, it was all thanks to Eunuch's help that I have today and this body. Eunuch The kindness to me is as early as it is, how could I have the slightest thought to dare to harm you, father-in-law?"

Seeing that Lu Daoxian took a step forward, Landlord subconsciously took another step back, keeping a distance of four feet from Lu Daoxian all the time.He stared at Lu Daoxian, looked at it for a while, and said, "That's good. I can't figure out who it is from outside, but just in case, you have to do me a favor..."

Before Tu Digong could finish speaking, Lu Daoxian stretched out his hand, stopped his words, and said solemnly: "Don't panic, Gonggong. Just follow my maid into the secret room for a while, and I will take care of the person who comes. Hmph, I don't believe it anymore." , in this Dali country, does anyone really dare to disrespect the gods?"

As if in response to Lu Daoxian's words, as soon as he uttered the word "respect", there was a loud "bang", and the door seemed to be knocked open forcefully.

This door was closed by Lu Qian just now, and he clearly remembered that there was a sticker of Shentu Yulei on the door.

The door was knocked open but Shen Tu Yulei didn't respond in the slightest, which meant that the person who came was a person, not something else.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of heavy footsteps came from outside, as if a large group of people really broke in.

Without any hesitation, Lu Daoxian immediately took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and unfolded it with his hands, turning it into a round paper-cut.

He raised his hand and hung up the paper-cut.

The paper-cuts hang in the air out of thin air, emitting soft moonlight.

Lu Qian is no stranger to this thing, it is the "Scissor Moon Gate".

However, this is Lu Daoxian's Shearing Moon Gate.

At this time, Lu Qian was very curious, what kind of world would he enter after entering the Shear Moon Gate?
Lu Daoxian was fair to the land: "This is my moon gate. As long as my father-in-law enters this gate, no matter how powerful they are, they will never try to find out where my father-in-law is. After sending them away, I will personally pick him up."

Seeing this, the land lord couldn't help showing a look of hesitation on his face.

However, the sound of footsteps behind her was getting closer.

The face of the Lord of the Earth changed extremely, and he finally chose to believe in Lu Daoxian. With a flash of his figure, his whole body turned into a stream of light, got into the Jianyue Gate, and disappeared.

Lu Daoxian raised his hand to grab the Jianyue Gate and put it away.

Looking at the situation in front of him, Lu Qian couldn't help but feel a little uncertain.

Lu Daoxian really wants to help the land god?

Before he could think about it, the sound of footsteps and the hooting of iron armor came before his eyes, and he saw two groups of soldiers in iron armor striding forward, there were as many as four or fifty people.

These sergeants, all in full body armor, hold Yanyue Dao, and even their faces are covered with visors, only their eyes are exposed.

They were all tall, well built, and extremely massive.Standing there, an overwhelming force came directly.

Seeing that these sergeants were almost equal in height, fat and thin, as if they were carved out of the same mold, Lu Qian couldn't help being startled.

These sergeants lined up in two rows, came to the front and back of Lu Daoxian, parted to the left and right, stood there, with a long knife in hand, without saying a word.

Between the two rows of sergeants, make way for a passage.Afterwards, I saw a person stepping forward and coming forward.

Lu Qian was surprised again when he saw the person coming.

It was Pang Bochuan, the patrol envoy of the five counties, who came forward from the two ranks of sergeants!
Pang Bochuan had no expression on his face, and stood still in front of and behind Lu Daoxian, without saying a word.

Lu Daoxian looked at him and asked, "Have you got the secret letter?"

Pang Bochuan nodded, took out a small bamboo tube from his arms, and handed it to Lu Daoxian.

Lu Daoxian took the bamboo tube, held it in his hand, and looked carefully first.

This bamboo tube is slightly thicker than a thumb, about a palm long, with a cap at one end, and the barrel is sealed with wax.

Lu Daoxian checked that the seal was correct, and asked, "Is there something wrong with such a secret document?"

Pang Bochuan said: "Yes. All I know is that such secret documents must be unsealed by a special warlock. If you unseal without authorization, the letters inside will be destroyed by yourself."

Lu Daoxian asked: "Is there such a warlock in Huliu City?"

Pang Bochuan nodded and said, "Yes. My companion, Master Yunxian, can do it."

Lu Daoxian asked, "Where is she?"

Pang Bochuan said: "She left on her own last night, and she hasn't returned yet, and her whereabouts are unknown."

Hearing this, Lu Daoxian couldn't help frowning.

After thinking for a while, he asked: "I heard some rumors that it seems that the imperial court is going to take action against the gods in Dali territory. Is this true?"

Pang Bochuan said: "I don't know. The information I heard is only a little bit. The head of the Longnan Road Marching has sent a large number of people to all the counties. The branch of our Huliu County is on the road overnight and will arrive in the morning. I also received an order tonight to be on call at any time.

When the army arrives in the morning, they, I, and the governor of Huliucheng will unseal the sealed letter together. "

When Lu Daoxian heard the words, he couldn't help being surprised, and said, "So solemn? From the looks of it, the rumors seem to be true..."

He thought for a while, and said to Pang Bochuan: "You go to the porter and stay there. Unless I order, you just stay there and don't move."

Pang Bochuan nodded, turned and walked out.

After he turned around, Lu Qian immediately glanced at his back, and sure enough, he saw a small paper man with a strange description on his back, half-hidden by his collar.

Puppet paper man!

This Pang Bochuan was indeed a puppet by Lu Daoxian.

I don't know when or how he did it.

And the two rows of fully armored sergeants in front of him were naturally Lu Daoxian's paper spirit "Iron Armored General".

On this point, Lu Qian did not use his mental power to observe, and it was already conclusive at this time.

It turned out that the scene that happened just now was actually a scene directed and acted by Lu Daoxian himself.

The purpose of acting is to earn land gods?
Yes, but it seems not all.

Lu Daoxian held up the bamboo tube and was still observing carefully.

He observed for a while, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He laughed like he was talking to himself: "It's a simple trick, but it's very practical."

Lu Qian asked: "Did you see the mechanism above?"

Lu Daoxian pointed to the capped end of the bamboo tube with his finger, and said, "This seems to be the opening of the bamboo tube, but it's where the mechanism is."

After hearing this, Lu Qian suddenly realized in his heart: "It turns out that the opening is at the other end."

There was no special spell attached to the bamboo tube, it was just a cover-up and a set of psychological tricks.

Lu Daoxian continued: "This is a trick to play with people's hearts. If you open it from the normal seal, you will touch the mechanism anyway and destroy the letter inside. However, if you observe carefully with your mental power, then the flaws will be obvious at a glance. gone."

Lu Qian nodded when he heard this, and said, "So that's the case, so the real opening is at the other end?"

Lu Daoxian glanced at Lu Qian appreciatively, and said, "Your brain has improved a lot. Why didn't you just use your mental strength to see for yourself, shouldn't this be your first reaction?"

After hearing this, Lu Qian's expression changed a little, and he said, "This... it's not that you didn't allow it, and I dare not act without authorization."

Lu Daoxian sighed suddenly, and said, "It's only been a few years since we saw each other between you and my son, why did you come to this? It seems that you still have some resentment towards me in your heart?"

When Lu Qian heard this sentence that seemed to be asking, but also asking himself, he fell silent and did not answer.

Lu Daoxian looked at Lu Qian, and said, "We are a father and son, you don't need to be restrained in front of me."

Lu Qian said: "Yes."

Lu Qian said "yes", but still did not release his mental strength to observe the bamboo tube.

Both fell silent.

For a moment, it seemed that the air had frozen, and there was an incomparable silence.

Although there were fifty people standing in front of them, these fifty "iron armored generals" were actually fifty logs, so naturally they couldn't speak.

Not far away stood three maids. They were called maids, but they were actually Lu Daoxian's paper brides.

These three paper brides didn't know whether they had such personalities or were trained to be like this by Lu Daoxian. They were also like three sticks of wood who only knew how to obey orders, and they stayed there without saying a word.

Not even a heartbeat.

Lu Qian's feelings at this time are very obvious, and the relationship between him and Lu Daoxian is a bit subtle.

It is normal to have subtleties, but it is not normal to have no barriers.

They haven't been seen for several years.

A soft "click" broke the silence of the night.

Lu Daoxian suddenly twisted the bamboo tube from the back, and poured out a piece of delicate letter paper from it.

He didn't reach out to pick up the letter, but just took a breath.

Then, the roll of letter paper unfolded by itself, floating in the air.

Seeing this, Lu Qian was finally moved.

This Lu Daoxian, is he acting so cautiously?
Under the flickering light, the handwriting on the letter paper is erratic in light and dark.

Lu Qian was not polite this time, and looked directly at it.

I saw on the letterhead it read:
Imperial edict
Starting from the fourth day of June in the 18th year of Apocalypse, yamen at all levels across the country took simultaneous actions to arrest all gods and send them to the capital.

For this operation, the general commanders of the marches of all provinces and the head of the Wentian Supervisor were in charge of unifying orders.All local government offices and any administrative department offices shall not violate orders or obstruct actions.

Qin this
The local institutions of Daliguo are divided into three levels, which are provinces, prefectures, and counties.

Huliu County belongs to Longnan Road.

The chief officer of the Longnan Road Marching Army is the highest military institution here and is under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court.

Longnan Road is located in an important military area, and there are 20 troops stationed there, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the Marching Chief.

Seeing the contents of the letter, Lu Qian couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat and was taken aback.

This secret letter was actually a secret decree, issued directly by the emperor of Dali Kingdom.

And the content of the secret decree is even more frightening and disturbing:

Arrest all the gods in the country and send them to the capital!
What is the court going to do, what is the emperor going to do?
A mortal emperor, leaving so many demons and goblins alone, started a war against God instead?
With Lu Daoxian's concentration, he was unable to utter a word for a long time after seeing this secret decree.

It is conceivable that a huge storm is about to sweep away.

And it's tomorrow!

And the land god of Huliu County obviously got wind of something.

But his way of coping was a bit unimaginable, he actually ran to Lu Daoxian's house to take refuge!

Perhaps, this land lord just heard some news, but what he knew was not true.Otherwise, even if his brain had a convulsion, he would not think that a mere Lu Daoxian could protect him under this situation.

What's more, he obviously came here for refuge, but when he came, he put on airs and tried to show his face in front of Lu Daoxian to maintain the dignity of his god.

After a long silence, Lu Qian suddenly asked, "What department is this 'Ask the Heavenly Supervisor'?"

Lu Daoxian looked a little absent-minded, and replied casually: "Wen Tianjian is a secret institution established by the imperial court, directly under the command of the emperor. Wen Tianjian should be mainly composed of warlocks, and its leader is called 'National Teacher'. They are concentrated in the capital, but they are also stationed all over the country. Those stationed at the "Tao" level, the leader is "Shouzheng"; those stationed at the "County" level, the leader is "Jianzheng"; , and its leader is the 'supervisor'."

"Oh……"

Lu Qian nodded secretly.Although it was the first time he had heard of this department, he had already seen it.

The sorcerer "Master Yunxian" next to Pang Bochuan must be a "supervisor" of Wentian Supervisor.

Lu Qian didn't find it surprising that the imperial court would set up a department like "Wen Tianjian".

After all, many things in this world cannot be solved by warriors alone.

Warlocks, among the practitioners of various sects, are not strong, but they have various methods and are best at dealing with ghosts and evils.

The most important thing is that in Jianghu, the warlock school does not have a very powerful sect. Compared with Buddhism, Taoism, and even sword repair, they are in a weak position.

They would choose to cooperate with the imperial court, which is also reasonable.

So far, Lu Qian has a general and clear understanding of the various forces in Dali Kingdom.

There are two major forces in the entire Dali Country:

One is the imperial court.

The imperial court is in charge of the power and authority of Daliguo, and it is a legitimate ruler.

The second is the Jianghu forces headed by Qingxuanguan.

Although these rivers and lakes forces live far away from the temple and generally don't care about world affairs, they possess a powerful force that even the imperial court fears.

In addition to these two major forces, there is also an erratic and mysterious Moon Worship Sect.

Little is known about the Moon Worship Sect.

But there is one point, the Moon Worshipers are hostile to the two major forces, and they are almost in an endless situation.

Regardless of whether it is the imperial court or the sects of the rivers and lakes, anyone who sees the Moon Worshipers will definitely be killed on the spot, so merciless.

They have never seen such care in dealing with ghosts and evil spirits.Otherwise, a ghost like "Xi Shen" would not have been allowed to be the "underground emperor" in Dinghezhou for so many years.

I don't know what this Moon Worship Sect has done to cause the anger of both humans and gods.

As for the gods...

It cannot be called a "power".

Because they are gods.

Normally, they should be objects of fear and adoration by all mortals, to be worshiped with incense.

But now, even the most ordinary ordinary people no longer offer incense to them.

These gods at this time should be called "Lost Gods", which is more appropriate.

They were abandoned by the court of God and lost their godheads.

Judging from the performance of the land gods today, it seems that what they have lost is not only the "godhead".

Personality is almost gone!
