Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Chapter 29 The arrow is on the string and must be fired

Dongjun, Qingshan County.

It’s the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are only five days left before the River God Festival!

In the county government office, the four main foundation builders, Qiao Xuan, Wen Renjie, Kong Gongzi and Xu Xiao, have arrived.

Xu Xiao was the last to arrive.

When he saw Xu Xiao coming back alone, the disappointment in Zhang Qingyun's eyes could not be concealed: "Is Director Jiang still missing?"

Xu Xiao shook his head: "The Taoist boy said that Taoist Master Jiang is practicing in seclusion and doesn't see anyone. I can't force my way into Qingxuan Temple, so I have to come back."

Master Kong Kong couldn't help but sneer after hearing this: "Dao Zhang Jiang is a master of Penglai, how can he pay attention to these casual cultivators like me?"

"We come to invite people at their door, which seems like we have no etiquette. Others don't know, and they think we are trying to impress others."

Everyone was not at ease with these strange words. After all, Master Kong went to invite Jiang Sheng and came back dejected without even meeting him. It was normal to be a little angry.

Wen Renjie's face was a little gloomy: "We will gather everyone to set out tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will be the time to take action. Right now, Director Jiang is in retreat. If Director Jiang does not show up in two days, there will be a loophole in our plan."

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Xuan and Xu Xiao's expressions darkened.

Yes, everyone recognized Jiang Sheng's strength, so Jiang Sheng was also the most suitable candidate for the main attack.

In the plan, both Qiao Xuan and Wen Renjie planned to let Jiang Sheng take the main attack, while they would take care of them on both sides.

After all, casual cultivators cherish their lives the most, knowing that they have everything while alive, and even a good reputation is of no use after they die.

Not to mention Mr. Kong Kong, who was seeking his own best interests by sneaking a sneak attack on Jiang Sheng during the siege of the River God.

When the time comes that he has harvested the Zifu treasure, he can also kill Jiang Sheng, a hidden enemy, and maybe even occupy Jiang Sheng's dojo. That is simply killing three birds with one stone.

Zhang Qing looked at these foundation-building monks who were so high above them that they were treated as guests no matter where they were in the East County. There was a hint of unhappiness in his eyes: Everyone has their own little thoughts, and the war is approaching and they are still planning their own little plans. Abacus, without considering the overall situation at all, the mentality of casual cultivators is really unbearable.

And Xu Xiao looked at her smart best friend and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. How could she not know that Zhang Qing actually used these casual cultivators as chess pieces, but how many of these casual cultivators could become foundation builders? A fool?
How could they not know that when a chess piece loses its function, it is an abandoned piece? How could they be willing to be abandoned? !

Nowadays, everyone is united on the surface, but in fact everyone has a backup plan. No one can tell what the chance of success is in the plan to deal with the demon in the river.

Xu Xiao was thinking like this, and for no reason he thought of Jiang Sheng in Qingping Mountain. Had Jiang Dao Zhang anticipated all this, so he chose not to come and stay out of the chess game?

Zhang Qing sighed, her pretty face full of determination: "Everyone, we have no way out now, and the plan must go ahead as usual."

"On the twenty-seventh of the twelfth lunar month, the little girl and her father will personally take the others to Donghe Town. The others will attract the attention of the casual cultivators, and the few will only need to choose the opportunity to take action."

Qiao Xuan still looked like an old farmer, smoking a dry cigarette. He was silent for a long time before saying: "Now, this is the only way."

Wen Renjie also smiled freely: "A certain family has killed so many powerful enemies in this life, but has never killed a river god. Now that there is this opportunity, a certain family would like to give it a try."

Seeing that everyone else agreed, Young Master Kong would not object.

Regardless of whether Jiang Sheng goes or not, he will betray him, and although Mr. Kong Kong doesn't want to admit it, if Jiang Sheng is not here, he will indeed relax and have a higher chance of success.

Therefore, Young Master Kong also nodded and made a smart look: "I am not afraid, Young Master, but they are just monsters. How can we, the monks, not be able to kill them?"

Upon seeing this, Zhang Qing immediately smiled and said: "Three of you are indeed famous heroic knights in Qingzhou! Please rest assured, we will give half of what we promised on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, and no matter whether we succeed or not, we will give it to others afterwards." half."

Zhang Qing also knew that people need to pay for their lives, so she made a big promise.

Qiao Xuan, Wen Renjie and Master Kong were naturally surprised when these words came out. It was great to get half of the reward in advance. If not, they could run away on the spot.

On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the curfew in Qingshan County has been completed. Each door is controlled by reliable guards to prevent anyone from leaving. At the same time, there are also Qi Practitioners stationed to prevent any monks from escaping.

The entire Qingshan County was shrouded in the heavy haze before the war. No matter the gentry, wealthy businessmen or the common people, they were not optimistic about Zhang Qingyun's demon-slaying action.

Everyone knew about the matter before it even started, and they planned to kill the river god with great fanfare. How could it be done like this?

But the gentry could not stop Zhang Qingyun's actions, because Zhang Qingyun was not only a county official, he also won over a large number of monks and controlled the actual say in Qingshan County.

Therefore, even if everyone is not optimistic about Zhang Qingyun's actions, they are unable to stop it and can only watch it happen.

Many gentry even cried with their families in despair, while the ignorant people were even more panic-stricken to buy food. The wealthy businessmen did not expect that they could make another fortune, but who still wanted to make money at this time?
Of course not everyone is panicking.

Huang Shiren, Master Huang, was very calm, not at all afraid of the upcoming catastrophe. Instead, he excitedly reported the news to the River God in his study: "Master, tomorrow the county magistrate will take those casual cultivators to Donghe Town. ."

The statue of the River God asked aloud: "All the casual cultivators are here?" Huang Shiren said: "Except Jiang Sheng. It is said that the county magistrate and the female cultivators from the Lanyue Sect have invited Jiang Sheng several times, but Jiang Sheng has gone into seclusion. "

The statue of the River God took it as a matter of course: "I have already predicted it! The Taoist priest from Penglai is not stupid. He knows that this trip will never come back, so why would he deliberately commit suicide?"

Huang Shiren quickly boasted: "Sir, you have blessed Qingshan County for decades, and the people are all grateful to you. If the county magistrate wants to attack you, the gentry and the people are opposed."

"It's a pity that the county magistrate is acting in the opposite direction and doesn't understand people's hearts. He insists on hitting the stone with eggs."

"Tomorrow when he discovers that my divine power cannot be resisted by those casual cultivators who only practice Qi and build foundations, he will definitely regret it and cry bitterly."

The statue of the River God said: "I know your thoughts. When the time comes, I kill those ants and flood several towns in Qingshan County. At that time, he, a rebellious county magistrate, will naturally be deposed, and I will I guarantee you will become the next magistrate of Qingshan County."

Huang Shiren's eyes were full of surprise after hearing this: "If I can become the magistrate of Qingshan County, I will bring the whole county's gentry and common people to worship the master!"

The statue of the River God fell into silence again, but Huang Shiren's face was full of anticipation and excitement: "I can also be the county magistrate!"

"The daughter of County Magistrate Zhang is smart and beautiful, but her temper is too arrogant. She never takes me seriously. But I like this temperament. When her father becomes a prisoner tomorrow, he will not know about her. Can you still be proud?"

At the same time, in the county government office, dozens of Qi Lianqi San practitioners were having a drink and a banquet.

Four foundation-building casual cultivators, Wang Tianfang, Li Hao, Han Li, and Qian Ming, have also arrived.

At present, the county government can be said to have gathered the strongest force in Qingshan County.

Including four foundation-building monks, including Mr. Qiao Xuanqiao in the late-stage of foundation-building, Fairy Xu Xiao, Wen Renjie, and Young Master Kong in the middle-stage of foundation-building, plus Wang Tianfang and four other casual cultivators in the early-stage of foundation-building.

There are over 40 Qi Lian Qi Qi practitioners who are at the eighth level to the fifth Qi Lian level.

With such a force gathered, not to mention suppressing Qingshan County, even if Zhang Qingyun went crazy and wanted to attack other counties, he would be absolutely sure to win.

Zhang Qingyun sat at the main seat and watched the casual cultivators eating and drinking to their heart's content. When everyone had almost finished eating, he said loudly: "You all came to Qingshan County to participate in this grand event with Zhang. Zhang is grateful."

"The demons in the Taiping River have been ravaging Qingshan County for decades, causing countless murders, and the people of Qingshan County have suffered greatly!"

"Today we will gather together to drink this glass of wine. Tomorrow we will rush to Donghe Town to kill the demon!"

When the casual cultivators heard this, they all stopped eating and drinking: Will you kill the demon tomorrow?

Didn’t it mean that it was only launched on the day of the River God Festival?
Most of these casual cultivators came to Qingshan County with the intention of having a good time, eating and drinking, and then ran away after receiving the reward from the county government during the River God Festival.

They wouldn't be stupid enough to actually deal with the demon in the river.

But looking at Zhang Qingyun's intention now, the plan has obviously been advanced, and how can they run away now?
Wang Ping, a casual cultivator at the fifth level of Qi training, was just about to stand up and speak when he saw Master Kong Kong standing up and looking at them: "Everyone, the Master will lead the team in person tomorrow. There is still time now. If you have any questions, please hurry up."

While Wang Ping was still struggling, he saw a casual cultivator at the eighth level of qi training getting up. Wang Ping recognized the casual cultivator, his name was Fang Xi, and he was also a hero.

I saw Fang Xi clasping her fists at Young Master Kong Kong: "Master Kong Kong, I am naturally willing to go with you to defeat the demon. But right now I have unfinished business in the city. Can you allow me to go and settle the matter first and then come back?"

Young Master Kong Kong smiled and nodded, and then took action in full view of everyone!

The blue water magic sword drew a faint blue sword light, and directly killed the unsuspecting Fang Xi!
When Fang Xi's body fell heavily to the ground and blood splashed on the faces of the people around him, they realized: they had no way out!

Mr. Kong Kong sneered and said, "Since everyone is here, there is no reason to quit midway."

"Whoever wants to leave, I will give him a ride!"

All Qi training practitioners have made wise choices.

Unable to tolerate their objections, Young Master Kong Kong, Wen Renjie, Qiao Xuan, and Wang Tianfang, four casual cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, surrounded them with a total of seven foundation building foundations.

A group of Qi-training monks would be killed indiscriminately if they encountered a foundation builder, let alone seven at the moment?
And although Fairy Xu Xiao of Lan Yue Sect has not made any move, it is clear that no one of them is allowed to withdraw.

They have been used as cannon fodder!
