Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 338 Take refuge

As soon as Jia Rui walked in, he saw a Taoist priest standing aside respectfully.

Jia Rui looked at the Taoist priest as he walked in, and found that the Taoist priest had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and he didn't look like a good guy.

After Jia Rui sat firmly, the Taoist priest immediately stepped forward and bowed and saluted, "Blessings are immeasurable, and the poor Taoist has seen the great master."

"What do you want to see me for?"

Taoist priest Jianchen quickly knelt down and said, "I am here to apologize to you, sir."

Jia Rui narrowed his eyes. His home was attacked by an evil spirit just yesterday. Today this guy came to apologize. It was obvious that he was the one who did what happened two days ago.

Jia Rui narrowed his eyes, and the qigong on his body began to move. Then he pushed his palms forward, and a dragon-shaped qi force spurted out, directly hitting Taoist Jianchen who was kneeling below.

Jia Rui got really angry this time and showed no mercy. With just one move, Jianchen Taoist was smashed out of the house by Long Zaitian.

The soldiers outside were very vigilant. After seeing Taoist priest Chen being knocked out, they immediately swarmed up to him, holding weapons in hand, and began to greet him.

Fortunately, the Taoist priest had been on guard for a long time, and a red light appeared on his body. After that, his speed increased more than ten times, and he could only be seen flashing continuously, avoiding the attacks of these soldiers.

"Okay, bring him back to me." Jia Rui said in the flower hall.

When the soldiers heard Jia Rui's words, they stopped and then stepped forward to capture Taoist Jianchen.

However, because the last time they met Taoist priest Chen was too fast, these people did not dare to take it lightly.

One of them screamed, and the soldiers guarding the outside also rushed over, and then formed a circle and slowly moved towards Taoist Jianchen.

However, their caution this time was redundant. This time Taoist Jianchen didn't resist at all. He was caught by a few soldiers and sent back to the flower hall.

Entering the old flower hall again, Jianchen was still kneeling there obediently.

Jia Rui looked this guy up and down, and frowned a little. It turned out that he had received the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms from himself, but nothing happened to him.

You must know that not long ago, he severely injured Zhenren Li with a casual move, and now he used his Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms with all his strength, but he did not hurt the opponent, which made Jia Rui feel a little incredible.

"Your kung fu is pretty good. You were hit by my palm and it was as if nothing happened." Jia Rui looked at the other person with inquiring eyes.

Taoist Jianchen said respectfully: "Master Jia's magical power is incredible and cannot be resisted by Xiaodao. The reason why Xiaodao is fine is because he has a treasure in his arms. This treasure blocked the master's blow for Xiaodao."

"What kind of treasure is it? Let me see." Jia Rui said with interest.

Taoist Jianchen didn't hesitate, took out a precious mirror from his arms, and then held it above his head with both hands.

Jia Rui winked, and a soldier below immediately stepped forward to take the mirror. He looked at it carefully and saw that there was nothing wrong with it, then he met Jia Rui's face.

Jia Rui took it, looked at it carefully, and then stretched out his hand to caress it for a long time. In the end, he didn't see any difference in the progress.

"What does this thing do?" Jia Rui asked depressedly.

"Sir, this precious mirror was given by my ancestor. I heard that it was made from cold iron from outside the sky. It was also mixed with heavy gold and other objects. It was then refined with a unique secret method for twelve years. It is ours. The most powerful treasure of the group.”

Jia Rui nodded after hearing this, and then suddenly asked: "According to the slap I just gave, if it hit Taoist Li, would he be injured?"

Taoist Jianchen was stunned at first, and he couldn't understand. Isn't Master Li and Master Jia the same group? Why are you talking about hurting him now?

Although he didn't understand, Taoist Jianchen still replied obediently: "Returning to your lord, Mr. Li is a master of Taoism. He only needs to take the last step to reach Taoism and ascend. Although Mr. Li is unrivaled in his magical power, he still wants to achieve it with just one or two moves." It is impossible to injure Zhenren Li internally. Even if he is mortal, he cannot block the power of your palm, but he must be carrying treasures and can protect himself from the enemy."

Jia Rui nodded gently after hearing this, and at the same time there was a hint of displeasure in his heart.

It seems that Mr. Li is pretending in front of himself!

However, even though he knew that the other party was pretending, Jia Rui could only grit his teeth and swallow the fruit. Who really asked him to help him?

Although Jia Rui thinks that he is not a good person, he still has the principle of being a human being, which is to repay kindness and keep his word.

But since the other party has tricked me, I have to get back to this situation when I have the opportunity, otherwise the other party will think that I am really confused!

After putting this matter aside, Jia Rui continued to ask: "Why did you attack Baochai? What hatred does she have against you?"

"My lord, my wife and I don't have any hatred, it's just that the people behind me want to get rid of my wife." Taoist Jianchen replied cautiously.

"Oh, what's going on?" Jia Rui was very curious as to who Xue Baochai had offended to make someone spend a lot of money to hire such a powerful Taoist priest to go against her.

"Returning to your lord, Xiaodao was originally worshiped by the Zhen family in Jiangnan. This time, he came to take the life of his wife on the orders of the ancestors of the Zhen family."

Jia Rui frowned. Could it be that he wanted to help Aunt Zhen rise to power?

But it's not necessary. Even though he is in a high position and has great authority, he has not yet exposed his strength to the extent of sending such a powerful Taoist priest.

"Can you tell me what exactly happened?"

"My lord, this faction of Xiaodao has made an agreement with the ancestors of the Zhen family to serve them for ten years, so I have to respect their orders this time."

Seeing that Taoist priests first pioneered myself, and then then said: "Just one month ago, I suddenly received an order from the Zhen family contemporary ancestor to let me go to Beijing to get rid of my wife." "After I came to Beijing, I found that the fortune in my house is strong, and my spell cannot be used no matter what."

"Just when I was about to give up, one day I suddenly discovered that a person had died in your house. This person turned into a ghost in a very short period of time."

"This is very unbelievable. You must know that an ordinary soul, no matter how resentful it is, cannot turn into a ghost under the sun."

"Furthermore, this evil ghost seems to be involved in a trace of luck in the house, and it can actually connect my spell with it. Therefore, I cast a spell to allow it to get close to Madam."

"However, since the lady is also very lucky, ordinary evil spirits cannot hurt her. In the end, I can only use evil spirits to enter her dreams and slowly wear away the lady's energy."

After saying this, the Taoist priest stopped talking, because Jia Rui also knew what was going on.

Jia Rui sat there and pondered for a long time. If according to what the Taoist priest said, the evil ghost was not caused by him, but someone secretly helped him.

Thinking of this, Jia Rui's doubts were depressing, wondering who he had provoked, and why he was so unlucky.

At the same time, Jia Rui also had endless resentment towards the Zhen family in Jiangnan. Instead of going to him, he came to make him unhappy.

But now is not the time to take action. One day in the future, he will have to pay back his principal and interest.

Jia Rui wants to let the Jiangnan Zhen family know what the consequences will be if they offend him?

At the same time, Jia Rui also became suspicious of Aunt Zhen.

It seems that this little girl is not as innocent as she originally thought.

But that doesn't matter, as long as you know the whole story, there will be a day when you are exposed.

Jia Rui doesn't want to fall out with the Zhen family yet, because he still needs to join forces with the Zhen family to deal with the emperor together in the future.

Only after the emperor fell completely was the time for Jia Rui to settle old scores.

"Then why did you come here to see me?"

"Your Majesty, the Zhen family in Jiangnan knew that I had offended Mr. Li and did not dare to take me in anymore, so they thought that I would just stop doing anything and come to seek refuge with you. Xiaodao still has some skills. As long as you can take Xiaodao in, Xiaodao is loyal. There is absolutely no two minds." Taoist Jianchen said firmly.

In fact, Taoist Jianchen still hid the Chixia Palace. It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but he didn't dare to say it.

The Chixia Palace was not something that an ordinary little Taoist priest like him could offend. Anyone who came out there was a true immortal in the sky. As soon as he said it, there would be an immediate reaction on the other side.

Therefore, he could only hide this section, hoping to find the right opportunity to tell Jia Rui in the future, which could also be regarded as his vote.

Jia Rui didn't know what the other party was thinking. He looked at the other party's firm eyes and was a little hesitant.

To say that Jia Rui really needs a Taoist master to assist him now.

But the guy in front of me was hostile to him before, and now he suddenly came to seek refuge with him. This made people feel uneasy no matter what.

Moreover, she didn't know his details yet, and looking at the other person's expression, he didn't think he was completely honest, which made Jia Rui hesitate.

Jia Rui thought for a moment and then said, "I can take you in, but I will put a restraint on you. Can you agree?"

"As long as Xiaodao can follow the adults, other adults will take care of it." Taoist Jianchen was still as determined as before.

"It's such a pleasure. If this is the case, I won't be polite to you, my lord."

After Jia Rui finished speaking, he slammed the table, and the water in the tea cup on the table was splashed out. Then Jia Rui waved his hand, and the water that had been seen in the air turned into solid ice in an instant, and then with lightning speed Covering his ears, he flew towards Taoist Jianchen.

Although Taoist Jianchen was startled, he resisted and did not fight back. The sharp weapon made of water penetrated the moment it touched the skin, and then disappeared without a trace.

However, after seeing Taoist Chen's Taoist behavior, he still felt that there was a strange energy circulating in his body, slowly integrating into his body.

But it wasn't over yet. Jia Rui took out another porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out a pill from it, and handed it to Jian Chen.

"You should take this pill too."

Jian Chen panicked, but he still suppressed his fear, took the pill and stuffed it into his mouth.

Jia Rui was completely relieved when he saw that the other party had taken the pills, and then said to him: "I cast the life and death talisman just now."

After saying this, Jia Rui clicked on him.

Taoist priest Jianchen immediately felt that there were countless ants swimming around on his body, gnawing at his body.

He could bear it at first, but as time went by, even Jian Chen, an expert who had gained it, couldn't hold on any longer and started rolling and roaring on the ground.

When Jia Rui saw it, he stepped forward and gave him a masculine air.

As this Yang Qi entered Jianchen's body, he immediately felt that the pain in his body had disappeared.
