Nine idlers

Chapter 43 Night Exploration of Zhao Mansion

The Taiqing Liangyi Locking Spirit Formation is the mountain guarding formation of the Jindan Sect of Quanzhen Southern Sect in Emei. It is said that it can disturb people's mind and consciousness, making people unable to circulate their true energy and perform Taoism.As for this formation, Xu Changqing has only seen it from the classics, but has never seen it with his own eyes. The reason why he judged that the large formation arranged in the countryside of Changhe is the Taiqing Liangyi Locking Spirit Formation is mainly because his second consciousness of mind and mind is entering Changhe After returning to Tucheng in the hometown, he lost contact, as if he had been separated from his body.At the same time, the brothers and sisters of the Huang family also sensed that something was wrong, and looked at Xu Changqing one after another. Huang Shan wanted to ask the reason, but was immediately blocked by the clever sister Huang Juan instead of Xu Changqing, because she sensed someone spying on myself.

After the group entered the village, the three of them and the servants of the Tang family were arranged to rest in the courtyard of the Zhao family. Tang Wei and his relatives had to go to the main courtyard to meet the relatives and friends of the Zhao family.Next, according to the local customs, a three-day banquet will be held in Changhe Township, but Xu Changqing and others and those servants are only allowed to sit in the main courtyard for a wedding banquet on the third day.In order to take care of the three of Xu Changqing, the Zhao family specially arranged them in a separate room in the yard, separated from the servants of the Tang family.

When Xu Changqing entered the house, he sensed that something was wrong. When the servants of the Zhao family left, he signaled the brothers and sisters of the Huang family not to speak. Then he searched the house and found a copper pipe in an inconspicuous place in eight corners of the house. It is conceivable that someone must be listening on the other side of the tube at this moment.

Xu Changqing sneered, and ordered the brothers and sisters to find water to wash themselves, and change into the new clothes in the bag, and then he said to go out to find if there was any food, and walked out of the room alone.Sure enough, when he was about to walk out of the yard, he was stopped by the servants of the Zhao family at the door. A man came from the side room, and after pretending to ask a few words, he asked the servants to find some food and drink, and warned He doesn't want to 'random' walk around.Xu Changqing, who returned to the courtyard, was soon surrounded by servants of the Tang family who were also under house arrest. The bored servants dragged him to tell his fortune.

Although Xu Changqing can't use Taoism to predict fate, he has a solid foundation in fortune learning after all. Just relying on the charlatan's face-to-face method, plus the Daliuren God class, one of the three ways to push fate, is enough to scare these Shanxi men Startled for a while, they all called him a living god, and even the servants of the Zhao family outside the house couldn't help coming over to ask him to count his life.

When Xu Changqing was telling the fortunes of these people, he asked a lot of things on the sidelines, and he also had a better understanding of the Zhao family here, especially why the Zhao family targeted the quack warlocks this time, and found the reason.It can be counted that the family history of the Zhao family in the local area is longer than that of the Tang family. The first generation of the Zhao family living here was in the early Ming Dynasty. According to the genealogy handed down from the ancestors, there have been nearly forty generations. Before Guan, it was called Zhaojiatun.Later, after the Zhang Xianzhong massacre, the Zhao family’s direct descendants all suffered heavy casualties. In addition, after the Qing soldiers entered the pass, they adopted some policies of relocating to the local aristocratic families to prevent them from causing “chaos”, which made the Zhao family gradually decline and was replaced by the later Tang family. , The original Zhaojiatun was also divided into more than a dozen pieces.

Although the Zhao family is in decline, there is still some foundation. The main reason for marrying the Tang family this time is that the head of the Zhao family wants to find someone to rely on for the Zhao family, so as not to become a slave. in the fish.

The marriage between the Zhao family and the Tang family can be regarded as a big event in the local area. People from the surrounding villages and towns all came to congratulate, and some of the charlatans who heard the news also came to say some auspicious words and ask for a reward.At the beginning, the Zhao family also followed the local customs, and they would not refuse anyone who came, just to be happy.But two days ago, a thief appeared among the warlocks who came to ask for rewards. He entered the Zhao family's house at night and planned to steal the Zhao family's heirloom. The snitch fell to the ground and was finally caught by mistake, but the treasure he stole was nowhere to be seen.Now the Snitch is being imprisoned in the dungeon of Zhao's family. After the wedding banquet is over, they will decide how to deal with him.After this incident, the Zhao family also began to expel those charlatans to avoid any accidents at the wedding banquet.

Xu Changqing sorted out the information he had heard, and after careful analysis, he felt that the Taiqing Liangyi Spirit Locking Formation was most likely related to what the snitch stole.It was learned from the people of Zhao's family that after the snitch was caught, some charlatans left Changhe Township voluntarily saying they were unwell.It can be seen from this that the Snitch must have triggered the Taiqing Liangyi Spirit Locking Formation when he stole something, which made the few practitioners among the quack warlocks feel that something was wrong.

In addition, he also figured out why there is such a large formation as the Taiqing Liangyi Locking Spirit Formation here. The Zhao family is basically the spirit guarding family arranged by Zhu Di here, but because of the age, they have already forgotten their responsibilities. The village must be where one of the three soul-suppressing towers is located, and the so-called heirloom stolen by the snitch may be the suppressor of the soul-suppressing tower.Otherwise, after stealing the Zhao family heirloom, the Taiqing Liangyi Locking Array buried in the ground together with the Soul Restraining Tower would not automatically operate to hold down the Soul Resisting Tower and prevent it from rushing out of the ground.

Xu Changqing did not expect to find a soul-suppressing tower as soon as he came here. Apart from lamenting his good luck, he was also very satisfied with Huang Juan's numerology. It is really commendable to have such a result in just over a month.He wasn't too worried about his current situation. Although he couldn't use Taoism, he found that some abilities in his Jiuliu Dao were not restricted. You can use Shenmu, and the main thing is that his five elements can still be used.Even if all of these were imprisoned by the Taiqing Liangyi Locking Spirit Formation, since he is now capable of opening mountains, his strength is not as good as that of knives and guns, and even Western firearms cannot hurt his Hunyuan golden body in the slightest. It is absolutely impossible to deal with ordinary people here. There will be a little trouble.Therefore, the daring man of Yigao planned to go to the dungeon of the Chen family in the dead of night, meet the snitch, and ask him what kind of treasure he stole.

After entering the night, most of the people monitoring Xu Changqing withdrew because they found nothing, and only a few remained in the room in this courtyard, just in case.After Xu Changqing put the Huang family brothers and sisters to sleep, he took out a night clothes from the universe in his sleeves, walked to the back wall of the room, picked up the method of earth spirit in the five elements, and walked forward slowly. When approaching the earth wall, the earth wall immediately became as soft as water, allowing Xu Changqing to pass through it easily, and there was no soil on his body.After he passed by, the earthen wall returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened just now.

This is the magic of Xu Changqing's Five Elements Taoism. Although its power cannot be compared with those of the decent Five Elements Taoism, it can do many things that cannot be done by the authentic Taoism. The wall technique can't be so silent.

Although the structure of the Zhao family's house is complicated, it is still planned according to the northern school's geomancy method. Xu Changqing already knows the exact location of the dungeon, and uses the method of penetrating the wall to walk directly to the murderous place of the Zhao family's house.After passing through the horse shed in the backyard of the Zhao Mansion, we came to a relatively heavily guarded earthen house. There were quite a few members of the Zhao family around the house. Judging from the way several middle-aged people walked, it should be A foreign master who has practiced leg kung fu.

Although Xu Changqing's Five Elements Taoism can pass through the earth wall, if he wants to pass through the ground, it can only be the earth escape technique of the authentic Taoism. If he buries himself without Taoism, he will not be able to escape death. Words, unless the cultivation base reaches the innate fetal breath, nothing will happen.Judging from the positions of the surrounding guards, it is impossible to give Xu Changqing an opportunity, especially the guards at the entrance of the dungeon are very strict.

At this time, a servant from Zhao's mansion who was delivering supper came over from the path in front of Xu Changqing, Xu Changqing immediately thought about it.When he passed by his side, he immediately made a move, grabbed the food basket with one hand, and grabbed the servant's throat with the other. With a little force, he crushed his throat bone and died after holding his breath.In the past, Xu Changqing would never have taken human life at will like this, but since Fengshan realized Jiuliu Dao, his state of mind cultivation has been promoted to the top of refining qi and transforming gods, acting according to "sex", ants The idea of ​​the great way of human life is subtly affecting him, making him have a weird idea that except for the people he cares about, everyone else is an ant.Although usually, he will deliberately suppress this kind of thought that makes him feel uncomfortable, but when he has to make a decision, he will not hesitate to follow this thought to deal with things, just like what he is doing now like that.

Xu Changqing changed into a servant's costume, lowered the felt hat on his head deliberately, and walked towards the dungeon with a basket.

"Why is it so late today? My stomach is almost sticking to my back. Next time, if it's so late next time, take care of your flesh!" A guard of the Zhao family who was guarding the main entrance greeted him very dissatisfied, without looking at anyone. He snatched the food basket, turned around and walked into the yard, put the top food and wine on the table of three people at the entrance of the dungeon, said a few flattering words, and then greeted the surrounding people with the rest of the food. People gather to eat.

At this time, the guard who was in charge of ringing the alarm bell walked past Xu Changqing, stopped suddenly, turned to look at Xu Changqing, and asked suspiciously: "Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"

When he asked this sentence that shouldn't be asked, Xu Changqing's answer to him was a fist.Ever since he suffered from the big internal master in Feishi Mountain's "cave", Xu Changqing no longer underestimated those boxing skills. In the first half year of Fengshan, he took part of the time almost every day to practice boxing and kicking.With his current boxing skills and physical strength, he is confident that even if he encounters such a master again, he can kill him within ten moves.

Xu Changqing's physical strength is already comparable to that of a second-rank god, and it is really overkill to deal with an ordinary guard. When the fist just touched the man's head, his head burst like a watermelon without a sound , Xu Changqing felt an inexplicable nausea.But the feeling of nausea didn't have time to rush to the top of his head, and he pulled out the waist knife from the guard's waist, rushed into the ordinary guard who hadn't had time to react, raised the knife and dropped it without hesitation.Under his tyrannical force, the person's body turned into tofu, and was easily cut into several pieces, and his soul returned to hell before he could even scream.

When Xu Changqing massacred the guards, those masters reacted immediately, one rushed to the alarm bell, and the other two rushed towards Xu Changqing.The master in front of him was about to rush to the alarm bell and ring it, but Xu Changqing ignored it, and the other two masters kicked his heavy legs, clasped the top of the stone table in front of him with one hand, picked it up effortlessly, and followed the trend Throw it at the master who rang the alarm bell.

"Be careful!" Although someone reminded him, the speed of the whirling stone tabletop was too fast. Before the master could react, he was hit by the edge of the tabletop in his chest.Then the whole person flew out with the tabletop, and hit the earth wall next to him. The whole person was smashed into two by the stone tabletop, and one part was held in midair by the stone tabletop inserted into the earthen wall. , and the first section fell limply to the ground.

Seeing such a tragic death of his companion and the strength of Xu Changqing's body, the remaining two masters were all stunned for a moment.However, how can an expert duel give you time to be dazed, Xu Changqing took a step forward, grabbed the throats of the two with both hands, squeezed hard, and heard two clicks, the two in their hands lost their breath, and their bodies were limp He held it in his hand.

"No, don't kill me! I won't say anything!" The guard who snatched the food basket from Xu Changqing was terrified when he saw his companions and the usual god-like masters all die in the blink of an eye. Turn 'piss' flow, a burst of 'sex' came out from his crotch, the whole person sat limply on the ground, crying and begging for mercy.

Xu Changqing looked at him indifferently, then turned around and walked towards the dungeon door, as if he was about to let him go, the man also heaved a sigh of relief, with a kind of joy for the rest of his life on his face.However, Xu Changqing didn't turn his head back at this moment, and kicked the saber that fell on the ground, a cold light flashed, the saber was 'inserted' into the wall, buzzing, a trace of blood gathered and fell to the ground, At the same time, the man's head fell from his neck, and the expression of joy remained on his face.

"Suck! Call!" Xu Changqing took a deep breath, calmed down the distracting thoughts caused by the killing just now, pushed open the door of the house, and lowered the wooden ladder next to him into the dungeon.

At this time, a person's voice suddenly sounded in the dungeon, saying: "Your Excellency, what a ruthless technique, you can kill more than a dozen people in a few breaths. It seems that your honor is not affected by this place at all. It should be under the command of the prince." Great master! Disrespect, disrespect!"
