Nine idlers

Chapter 45 The 'Chaos' of the Long River

The trouble of the Tang family actually helped Xu Changqing a lot, because the room where Xu Changqing lived had only one exit, and there were indeed people guarding the door at that time, so Xu Changqing was cut off from the suspects by the Zhao family.For the next day or two, Xu Changqing and his two apprentices set up a fortune-telling booth on the streets of Changhe Township. Because of his extremely accurate calculations, he was regarded as a living god by the villagers, which made him a favorite of the Tang family. One of the most popular.In the end, even the family members of the back room of the Zhao family also disguised themselves and brought their servants to ask Xu Changqing for advice, and wanted to ask for an auspicious statement.However, these two days of fortune-telling also made Xu Changqing more certain that something will happen in Changhe Township, because in his eyes, the entire Changhe Township, whether it is a trafficker or a gentleman or a lady, is a sign of death.

More than a dozen people died in the Zhao family overnight, and the fact that the prisoner was gnawed into bones, although the Zhao family tried their best to cover it up, was vaguely known by the villagers of Changhe Township from the servants of the Zhao family. After learning some secrets, the three-day feast that was supposed to be festive suddenly became a bit gloomy.Many people speculated that the Zhao family must have offended some high-ranking person to be murdered in such a way, and some even speculated that the reason why the Zhao family wanted to marry their daughter to the Tang family, whom they had always looked down upon and regarded as the martial arts family, was mainly because It was because they already knew that the enemy family would come for revenge, so they took the Tang family as a disaster.

Hearing this, Tang Wei and Tang Biao felt deeply that their Tang family was being teased like a monkey, and they were very angry. In addition, what happened to the servants of the Tang family that day made their attitude towards the Zhao family change from the very beginning. The enthusiasm turned into the present indifference.Some rural gentry in small villages also noticed that the anger of the two had become embarrassing, and they didn't want to be caught between the two, so they all shirked their family affairs and left Changhe Township.So much so that on the last day of the luncheon, the number of people attending the banquet suddenly dropped by more than half, and the scene seemed extremely deserted. Tang Wei, who had already been prejudiced, thought that this was another humiliation from the Zhao family, and his face was livid with anger. , if Tang Biao was not by his side, he would have left in a huff.

Xu Changqing had a very good life these two days. He got a lot of money by setting up a fortune-telling booth in Changhe Township, which was almost the sum of all the fortune-telling money he got from the Chen family. Even Huang Juan joked that he might as well set up a fortune-telling booth here. never mind.Xu Changqing didn't tell the brothers and sisters the purpose of coming here, and he didn't intend to involve the brothers and sisters from the beginning. He had already engraved what the brothers and sisters should learn into their spiritual consciousness.When dealing with the Great Sage Nether, they will be kept out of the way first, and during the trip to Beiping on the fifth day of May, they will be entrusted to Chen Zhangping, the fourth son of the Chen family in Tianjin, and the Chen family will take care of them.

After finishing the last hexagram of the day, Xu Changqing was going to pack up the stall and leave to participate in the Zhao family's big banquet at night. The big banquet started at Xu o'clock in the evening and was eaten in the form of a water table until late at night. Welcome the bride away and take her back to the Tang family.Xu Changqing decided to leave Changhe Township after the first round of banquets, put the Huang family brothers and sisters in a safe place, and come back to seize the treasure.

Just as Xu Changqing was about to close the booth, a young man with horizontal stripes and a fierce appearance sat in front of his hexagram booth, threw a few pieces of silver, and said, "I heard that you are very accurate, I want to calculate tonight." Can I make it work?"

Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment about the man's thoughtless question, then looked at the man's face, understood a thing or two, started a lesson casually, closed his eyes pretending to be mysterious, thought for a while, and said, "Can you be successful?" To do something, but to no avail, fetching water from a bamboo basket, will bring disaster to oneself, brother, it is best to think twice before acting."

Hearing Xu Changqing's words, the man frowned with displeasure on his face, and was about to smash the stall, but he was afraid of attracting attention, so he gave Xu Changqing a hard look, got up and left quickly.After the man left, Huang Juan tugged at Xu Changqing's clothes, and said, "Master, that person committed an evil star, and his spirit is death. It should be a death situation, right?"

Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and he figured out that the man was dead, relying entirely on years of experience in numerology, but Huang Juan could also calculate it accurately, which is really strange.So he looked down at Huang Juan, and asked suspiciously: "Xiao Juan, can you still use Taoism to push the world with one palm?"

Huang Juan shook her head blankly, and said: "I don't know what's going on, but when the man spoke just now, the disciple and the master also counted together, and all the fate and luck of that person appeared in the eyes of the disciple." Here, the disciple deduced it based on this."

"Why is there such a thing?" Xu Changqing's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Have you ever had this kind of situation before?"

"No!" Huang Juan shook her head affirmatively, then heard something wrong from Xu Changqing's words, and asked, "Master, is it because of something wrong with my practice?"

"Master, will my sister be okay?" Huang Shan also came to join in the fun.

Xu Changqing smiled, stretched out his hand to 'touch' Huang Juan's head, and said, "It's okay, it's okay! Xiaojuan is fine! Very good! Just know what's going on today, don't tell it." After Huang Juan nodded, she said to Huang Shan: "Xiao Shan, you must remember that no matter what happens in the future, you must protect your sister and don't let her suffer any harm! Do you understand?"

"En! I will definitely protect my sister." Huang Shan tightly clenched Huang Juan's hand, nodded vigorously, and his small face showed a trace of firmness.

Xu Changqing nodded with a smile, cleaned up the hexagram booth, and led the siblings to the main courtyard of the Zhao family.On the way, Xu Changqing couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. He felt that his decision to accept these two children as apprentices was the most correct decision he made.The reason why Huang Juan was able to calculate fortunes after her second sense of mind was closed, and she could still see fate and luck in her eyes, was mainly because she had a pair of eyes that exhausted the sky.Buddhism has the supernatural powers of Leujin, and Taoism has the art of heavenly secrets. They are both powerful abilities used to observe the fortunes of all things in the three realms of heaven and earth, and Leuji Tianyan combines the strengths of the two. God has endowed humans with a natural ability.All those who have the eyes of the sky are all masters of numerology resounding all over the world, among which the most famous ones are Li Chunfeng, Yuan Tiangang, Shao Kangjie, Liu Bowen and so on.

Xu Changqing has always regarded this kind of exhaustion as a myth. In his opinion, even a Taoist immortal cannot count everything for a thousand years. Unexpectedly, today he saw his apprentice display the legendary exhaustion. One of the abilities of the Celestial Eye is to arrange fate.This made him have to believe that there is really such a thing as Leujin Tianyan in the world. To be able to accept a person who has Leujin Tianyan as a disciple is definitely the most glorious thing in the line of Jiuliu idlers, but he can't let others know. Because mastering Leujin Tianyan is equivalent to mastering the world, this temptation is definitely not something ordinary people can resist.

Knowing that Huang Juan had such blind eyes, Xu Changqing felt that he should re-plan the plan and decide whether to send the siblings out of Changhe Township first.When Xu Changqing was thinking about other things, something happened in the Zhao family that made the whole Zhao family feel flustered. The eldest lady of the Zhao family, Zhao Wan, suddenly disappeared, and a woman was found in her boudoir. A letter claiming that she hopes to live a free life, and her distant cousin who is not good at eight is missing together with her.

At the same time, something happened to the Tang family. Tang Wei, who was supposed to pick up the bride, was nowhere to be seen. The room he lived in was extremely messy. It looked like he had been fighting. blood.His nephew disappeared, and there was blood in the room. As an uncle, Tang Biao immediately thought of the Zhao family's unwarranted enemy, so he ran to the Zhao family to inquire about the crime, and asked the Zhao family to find his nephew as soon as possible.

All of a sudden, two people disappeared from the house, and they were still the bride and groom. The Zhao family immediately became a mess. They sent all the servants to search around, and finally found a corpse behind the rockery at the exit of the Zhao family's backyard.The corpse's head had been chopped off, and all the clothes were stripped off. The only thing that could be identified was a half-moon-shaped birthmark on the right shoulder of the corpse. Based on this birthmark, Tang Biao judged that the corpse belonged to Tang Wei.Moreover, a golden hairpin was found next to the corpse, which was specially made by a Shanghai master as the dowry of Miss Zhao's family. There is only one in Changhe Township, and that is the one worn on the head of Miss Zhao's family. one piece.

At this time, a picture appeared in everyone's minds, that is, Miss Zhao's family was about to run away from marriage, and she met Tang Wei by accident. Because Tang Wei stopped her, she and her cousin killed her, chopped off her head, and removed her. Clothes make it impossible to identify the body.Tang Biao immediately rushed to the old lady of the Zhao family, crying and shouting that the Zhao family should pay for their lives. Although he was pulled away immediately, he still refused to give up.

When the Patriarch of the Zhao family first saw this scene, he was also confused by the situation in front of him. When he saw Tang Biao clamoring to go back and find someone to question the Zhao family, he suddenly had an evil thought in his heart. Be sure to keep everyone in Changhe Township.So before Tang Biao could react, he cast a wink at the people around him. Dozens of Zhao family servants rushed to the Tang family one after another, picked up whatever they could, and headed towards the vital points of the Tang family. Beat hard.When they woke up, more than a dozen people including Tang Biao all died at the hands of the Zhao family.Although the head of the Zhao family didn't know why he suddenly had such a murderous thought, he had done everything, and it was useless to regret it, so he ordered that all the Tang family members be arrested immediately, and not one should be let go.

After Xu Changqing saw Tang Wei's body, he retreated quietly, took two disciples, and hurried towards the city gate.He was very clear that that person was definitely not Tang Wei, because the palm of the corpse was extremely rough, not like the hands of a rich young master. The only possibility was that this person was a substitute deliberately arranged by Tang Wei. The Tang family thought it was Zhao Wan who killed him, and asked the Zhao family to take revenge for the insult he had suffered.However, what really scared Xu Changqing back was that after the corpse was discovered, a power of the "confusing" mantra spread from outside the Tucheng, covering the entire Tucheng, subtly affecting the hearts of the people in the city. Sex', let them gradually become manic and bloodthirsty.

Xu Changqing asked himself, based on his Taoism, it is not difficult to cast such a "confusing" mantra covering the whole city, but it is not difficult to make the "confusing" mantra work in the Taiqing Liangyi Locking Array. His current skill can do it.In his opinion, there is only one person who appears here and has such a strong skill, and that is Yin Kui, the great sage of the Netherworld. It seems that Yin Kui can't help but want to do it himself.

When Xu Changqing arrived at the gate of the city, the people in the entire Changhe Township had been completely affected by the 'Enchanted' mantra, and there were endless noises and fights.At this time, the guards of the Zhao family guarding the earthen wall suddenly rang the alarm bell for the horse thief's attack, and then the gate of the earthen city in Changhe Township was opened with a big hole by an earthen cannonball and fell down.As soon as Xu Changqing mentioned the brothers and sisters of the Huang family, they hid in the dark of the city wall, only to hear the sound of horseshoes, and a group of horse thieves in black rushed in from the gate of the mountain city. His eyes could see that he was the person who asked him for fortune-telling during the day, that is, Tang Tianhao, the fourth master of the Tang family.

After Tang Tianhao charged into the city, he immediately held his saber high and yelled to snatch the eldest lady of the Zhao family and the family heirlooms of the Zhao family, and led the familiar people to rush towards the Zhao family's house.Also because of the influence of the 'confusing' mantra, he became extremely bloodthirsty, drew out his saber, and slashed at those who blocked his way.And the people who should have been screaming and running around became crazy, not afraid of these horse thieves at all, and rushed up with red eyes.

"Master, what's going on with them?" Huang Shan saw that the old "grandmother" who fed to Momo during the day jumped on the rushing horse thief like a wild beast, biting his neck, Can't help but ask in fear.

"Don't talk, keep your mind, and don't be fascinated by the evil curse." Xu Changqing also didn't expect that the "bewitching" heart curse of the Great Sage Nether could bring out all the violent animal nature of human beings, and couldn't help but feel the evil spirit of Nether. The strength of the Great Sage was once again overestimated.

When Tang Tianhao's men all rushed into the city, Xu Changqing quickly rushed out of the city gate with two apprentices in his arms. Everywhere the hills galloped away.

Along the way, Xu Changqing saw seven or eight horse thieves rushing towards Changhe Township. This is still in the southeast direction. There may be more horse thieves in other directions. Without exception, they were all fascinated and shouted He wanted to snatch the heirloom of the Zhao family and the eldest lady of the Zhao family.It seems that the Great Sage Nether is also very afraid of the Taiqing Liangyi Locking Spirit Formation, and wants to use the killing resentment of mortals to destroy this large formation that has existed for hundreds of years with blood sacrifices.If it was the Taiqing Liangyi Locking Spirit Formation of the Jindan School of Emei Quanzhen Southern Sect, there was absolutely no way to break it with his method.However, the big formation in Changhe Township has neither a formation eye nor a person in charge, so it is not difficult for Xu Changqing and the Great Sage Nether to destroy it.
