Nine idlers

Chapter 79 Demons Rise

Seeing Xu Changqing push the secret book back, the old man's face froze for a moment, which made him wonder if Xu Changqing was still blaming him for the things back then, but soon he felt that Xu Changqing's character was useless this way.So he frowned with embarrassment on his face, looked at the Xuanling Orb that he had been playing with for many years and was regarded as a spiritual treasure, and finally put it on the table reluctantly, and pushed it in front of Xu Changqing , said: "You also know the origin of this Xuanling bead. Inside each bead is a multi-heart sutra written by Zen master Daozheng with a stick and drinking Buddha's power. Although it is not a great magical weapon, if you often If you play with it, you can stabilize your mind and increase the comprehension of the mind and spirit."

Looking at the Xuan Lingzhu that was pushed down in front of him, Xu Changqing shook his head with a smile, then pushed the thing back, and said, "Is Xu Changqing such a greedy person in the eyes of Old Sheng?"

"You should tell the old man directly, what do you want? As long as it is within the ability of the old man, I will help you." Seeing Xu Changqing pushed the thing back again, the old man's expression was a little bit impatient, and he was a little impatient asked.

"Old Sheng, you should also know that the Xuangang Heavenly Demon is going to change the fate for Man Qing?" Xu Changqing asked bluntly after thinking about it.

"Of course I know." There was a trace of worry on the old man's face, and he said: "Although this matter has not been heard of in the folks, it has already caused a lot of trouble in the practice world. The authentic outer hall disciples of the famous sect also felt that they should be the ones to do this kind of work, so they came to the capital one after another. Right now, the capital is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes. Before I left, the Xuangang Heavenly Demon issued a decree that they were not allowed to perform during the national mourning period. Someone arrested a large number of disciples of the Lingmen. If I hadn’t had this official protection, I might have been placed under house arrest in the capital. As the saying goes, under the Dao, they are all ants. It’s the people of the capital who are the ones.”

Xu Changqing saw that the old man seemed to be dissatisfied with the fight in the secular city in the practice world, and he did not intend to refute the old man's thoughts, but said bluntly: "Since old Sheng knows, it will be easy to handle, I hope old Sheng can take action Let's help each other, before the fifth day of the fifth lunar month comes, find a hiding place for those in the practice world who have entered Beijing."

"Hey!" The old man smiled wryly, and said, "Changqing, you are putting me on the fire! Do you know what's going on in the capital now? The fight between good and evil has never stopped every night. , I managed to get an errand like the Bank of Communications, and escaped from the capital, and now even Xu Shichang is looking for an opportunity to leave the capital to avoid the front, isn't it killing me to let the old man go back at this time?"

Xu Changqing smiled confidently and said: "No, it won't be long before Yinkui, Bai Zhan, Tianyin Ghost Sage and Yinfeng old monster are dead, and the news of Thunder Demon Changman's serious injury will reach the capital. By then , the Profound Handle Heavenly Demon will definitely know that I have gone north, and his attention will be on me."

"Why did Yinkui and the others die?" The old man was taken aback when he heard this, and asked with a slightly excited expression, "How did they die?"

Xu Changqing did not hide it, and told the surprised old man little by little what happened in Pingxiang Town, but deliberately concealed his own strength, and attributed the deaths of Yinkui and others to Yanfeng's strength and his own strength. The scheme succeeded.

The old man looked at Xu Changqing, and said with emotion: "Changqing, you have indeed changed a lot! If it was the past, you would be afraid to avoid such natural disasters, even if you participated, you were just planning behind the scenes. But now you Going to the front desk and confronting people head-on, you have become too much, it is beyond the old man's expectations."

"People will always change." Xu Changqing smiled bitterly, as if recalling something from the past, he was silent for a moment, and then continued: "Although Sheng Lao and Xu Shichang are both from Wenmen, compared to Xia Jiuliu sect, you and The imperial court has a closer relationship. Moreover, most of your natal exercises are for health preservation, so you can’t be regarded as people in the cultivation world, and there is little threat to him, so he won’t pay too much attention to you.” He said, from his arms He took out the key that Zhao Banqian gave him when he was in Wuhan, put it on the table, and said, "After you return to Beiping, you only need to hand over this key to Xu Shichang, and he will naturally help you secretly."

"This is..." the old man asked a little puzzled.

Xu Changqing explained: "When Xu Shichang was down and down, he learned that Mr. Zhao, the head of destiny, rescued him. Later, he made a fortune, so he sent someone to give this key to Mr. Zhao, saying that if something happened, take this key to him, and he would definitely Stand up and help."

"I didn't expect you to even bring in Zhao Banqian, who has lived in seclusion for many years. It seems that this time the Battle of Beiping is imperative for you!" conditions, and then said solemnly: "Changqing, I am very clear about your character. The things that have been decided will not be changed. It was like this back then, and it is like this now. I ask myself that there is no way to change you. I can only say that I should be careful in everything, and Yin Kui is not the only right-hand man of Xuangang Heavenly Demon."

"Old Sheng, you seem to know something, please explain clearly." Hearing what the old man said, Xu Changqing frowned slightly, and asked for advice.

"Alas! Forget it! I'll tell you what I know!" The old man sighed, and said with a very serious expression: "At present, the Xuangang Heavenly Demon invites the big devil who lives in seclusion to help out, except for his subordinates. Among them, the Four Demon Monarchs of Tianyunling, the Ghost Grandma of Qingyuan Mountain, the Third Living Buddha of the Black Sect of Esoteric Buddhism, and so on, all of them are giants of demons, and none of them are much worse than Yin Kui and Chang Man. Among them, there are two One demon head, even the Profound Handle Heavenly Demon, will treat him with courtesy when he sees him. Brother Chang Man is not his opponent, and he has refined a magic weapon called the Evil Bone Seven Killing Knife. In his hand, Qilinzi, the elder of Lingmen, was injured by the magic weapon, although he survived, his cultivation was ruined."

"There is such a thing?" Xu Changqing's face became a little dignified, and he sank his mind into his body, trying to drive the magic weapons such as the Wangui Banner and Yinshen Stick, but there was still no movement.He couldn't help but feel a little depressed, thinking that if these two magical weapons can be recovered, coupled with the god's eye Lei Jin, with his current cultivation base and Taoism, even if there are many demons, he will not be afraid at all.

The old man seemed to feel Xu Changqing's mood at the moment, he paused for a while, and continued after a while: "There is another demon, you must be careful, he is the first disciple of the ten-changing demon king, and he will change with ten changes later. Xie Yangzi who disappeared with the Demon Lord."

"What is he?" Xu Changqing was extremely surprised by the news, and asked anxiously: "Could it be that even the Ten Transformation Demon Lord, who has been missing for many years, was invited out by the Profound Handle Demon this time?"

"No, according to the information I got, Xie Yangzi had already separated from the Demon King of Ten Changes, and has been living in seclusion on the border between China and Myanmar," the old man said in a deep voice, "One or two years ago, the direct disciples of the Shi family in Guangxi tried to borrow The power of the stars, the cultivation of the second-grade gods, all of them were killed overnight, it is said that it was written by him and the head of the collateral lineage of the Shi family. Although this person has not learned the ancient transformation technique of the ten-changing demon king, but the rest of his abilities are. I have already learned ten percent of it, and the power of evil yang demon is astonishing, and I also learned the superb Nanyang head drop evil method during the time on the China-Myanmar border, and its strength is not inferior to that of Xuangang Tianma." He said for a while. After a pause, he continued: "Perhaps you still don't know that the head teacher Jiuguan Daoist didn't want to listen to the orders of the prostitute Tianhu Hu Yueniang, and led the people to do it alone. He was blocked by Xie Yangzi in the suburbs of Nanjing seven days ago, including nine Including Immortal Guan, *four elders and three inner hall masters all died in his hands, *removal from the practice world is inevitable."

This news really shocked Xu Changqing. He stood up, walked back and forth in the room twice, and asked with a frown, "Does Mr. Sheng know how they died?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know. The locals who found their corpses saw that the corpses were very strange. They were afraid that these corpses would turn into zombies and burned them all. The only thing they knew was that their corpses were all like dry wood. on."

"Is it the same as dry wood? It seems that not only their energy is sucked dry, but their flesh and blood are also sucked away. There are many magic skills in the world that can do this." Xu Changqing sat back on the bed again , murmured: "Although *the Nine-Crown Daoist is well-known, he is not considered an outstanding master in the practice world. It is not difficult to kill him. But in the case of so many people, none of them are It seems that Xie Yangzi has made very careful arrangements in advance." While talking, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the old man for a long time, and said: "Just now, old man Sheng said that he learned a set of Nanyang's surrender. Head evil right?"

"That's right!" The old man nodded, not understanding why Xu Changqing asked so much.

"The evil method of lowering the head in Nanyang originated from the ancient witchcraft and voodoo in the Jiuli tribe of Miaojiang, and then combined with the local local magic to create a set of evil methods." Xu Changqing waved his hand at the old man while speaking, He signaled him not to speak, then he took out a set of tea sets from the bedside partition, made a cup of tea for the old man, and placed it in front of the old man. With the real essence in his hand, he quickly drew a supernatant to attract evil spirits, He poured his Dao power into the tea, motioned the old man to drink it, and continued: "In terms of proficiency in witchcraft and voodoo, the land of China should belong to the Lin family of the demon-slaying family and the Song family of Baimiao. Alright, no matter how good Xie Yangzi is at lowering his head, he definitely can't compare with those from these two families."

When Xu Changqing was talking, although the old man didn't know what he wanted to do, he drank the tea suspiciously. When the tea entered his stomach, a wave of heat immediately spread throughout his body, and then he felt a coolness on the Mingmen acupoint on his back .This burst of coolness is like a living thing trying to escape from the encirclement of the heat, running around, and finally being forced to the throat by the heat.The old man only felt a tickle in his throat and a foreign object crawling out of his nostrils. Before he could see what it was, he saw a silver light coming out of his nose and rushing towards the train window. I want to escape from the air hole 'exposed' of the car window.

However, Xu Changqing had already been waiting there. When Yinguang rushed out, Xu Changqing's hand stopped in front of Yinguang, and Yinguang seemed to be quite spiritual. When he saw something blocking him, he prepared to change it. direction to flee.However, Xu Changqing's fingers have quickly drawn a Taiji diagram in the air, and covered it with silver light. The sword guides the Taiji diagram back, and said in a deep voice: "Shoot!"

I saw that Yinguang was immediately trapped in the Taiji Diagram, no matter how hard it struggled, it could not escape the space of the Taiji Diagram, and as the Taiji Diagram shrunk, it was gradually bound by the Dao Power in the diagram, and fell into Xu Changqing's space. in the palm of your hand.The old man took a closer look, and couldn't help being so angry that his beard and hair swelled. In Xu Changqing's palm, a small bug with silver light on its surface was constantly struggling, trying to break away from Xu Changqing's shackles.

Don't ask Xu Changqing to say it right now, the old man also knew what was going on, so he slapped the table hard angrily, and shouted: "What a Xuangang demon! He set his mind on the old man, and let Xie Yangzi do something on the old man."

Xu Changqing carefully wrapped the worm with a Taoist talisman, took out a mahogany figure, asked the old man to bleed a drop of blood, drew a psychic puppet talisman on the surface of the mahogany figure with a silver needle stained with blood, and then wrapped the worm wrapped in the Taoist talisman Put it on the mahogany figurine, circulate the true energy, draw the talisman with the sword finger, and recite the mantra: "Three souls in the left hand, seven souls in the right hand, the real body incarnates, the dharma image returns to the original, and is as urgent as a law! Concentrate!"

Under Xu Changqing's puppet spell, the mahogany man was immediately shrouded in a cloud of 'mist', and as the 'mist' slowly penetrated into it, the mahogany man's head immediately turned into the appearance of an old man.At this time, the Dao talisman that wrapped the worm also sank into the mahogany man's body little by little, and the worm was 'confuse' by the puppet, stopped struggling and became quiet.

"Originally, when I saw the green evil spirit covering the old man's brows, I thought it was because of the success of the old man in cultivating green wood spiritual energy." Xu Changqing handed the mahogany figurine to the old man, and continued: "But I heard from the old man that the evil Yangzi's ability to lower the head reminds me that after the middle surrender, people's foreheads will also have the aura of green evil spirits, so I will try it boldly. Unfortunately, I expected that the Xuangang Heavenly Demon is worried about you and Xu Shichang after all, you guys The two hold the lifeline of the Manchu treasury. If he succeeds in changing his luck against the sky, he must take back all the rights from you and hand them over to the Manchus he trusts. The best way to take back the rights in your hands quietly , there is nothing better than using the head-down technique to control the two of you to resign automatically."

"They bully people too much!" the old man gritted his teeth.

"Actually, it's better this way. Since they have cast evil spells on you, they will naturally be more at ease with you. The fact that Mr. Sheng secretly helped our comrades will naturally reduce some obstacles." Xu Changqing smiled, Said: "These days, I will trouble Old Sheng to bring the puppet with him every day, so as to 'confuse' the sight of the Profound Handle Demon."

"Okay, let's settle the matter like this!" The old man put the puppet in his arms, and then reminded Xu Changqing: "The Bank of Communications will trouble Changqing, please pay more attention!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Sheng, Changqing will never fail to trust you!" Xu Changqing nodded in response.
