The temptation of the wizard

Tao Lingling made a decisive decision, "If you don't check, I will go to Taoshan."

Regardless of the darkness, the three immediately rode their horses to the west, and arrived at Jiuqu County at the foot of Taoshan the next morning. They searched for a restaurant and worshipped the five internal organs temple before heading to the mountain gate.

On the road, I saw dozens of warriors walking in front of a gilded carriage surrounded by a gilt carriage. The carriage was tied with a flag with the word "money" written on it, which was very grand.

Tao Lingling turned to Zhang Gu and asked, "But Shiwu Qian?"

Zhang Gu nodded, "I have a ritual system for the carriage. This golden carriage can only be used by a small number of relatives and relatives of the emperor, and the carriage is supposed to be Qian Yuanlong."

"Shiwu Qian" refers to the natal family of Princess Qian, who entered the palace as a show girl more than 30 years ago, and was named a noble concubine by Emperor Guangzheng only three years ago. His natal family is naturally worth a hundred times, and the country's head He was named "Xin Lobo", acted ostentatiously, and spent huge sums of money to gather a large number of craftsmen to build Wubao. It took three years to build. It is said that the outer walls of the Qianjia Wubao are all granite boulders, and the smallest piece weighs more than a hundred stones. Even Huashen Supreme can hardly shake the stone wall. There are a lot of fortifications built on the wall. There are formations in Wubao, and there are many institutions. Not to mention outsiders, even people in the fort often mistakenly touch the institutions. At least a dozen people died unclearly.

Qian's Shiwu is very famous.

Eight years ago, Emperor Guangzheng abdicated and went to the imperial mausoleum to live in seclusion. Concubine Qian chose to stay in Yujing, and she naturally became a concubine. His prestige has fallen. Diners have become a climate. Now that they have the status of a royal family and the strength of a big genre, the local government also depends on the face of the Qian family.

Not long after he came to the gate of the mountain, a Taoist priest came to meet Viscount Anle after hearing the news. The leader was the Shangqing Taoist elder Hui Mako, who was over half a hundred years old and had a rather flowing beard.

However, the carriage entered the mountain gate and continued to move forward. It didn't stop until the Qingyundao stairs. An Lezi Qian Yuanlong got up and down from the carriage. He was dressed in black with gold rims, a face with Chinese characters, and a stalwart body. He had two walnuts in his right hand.

His own little Taoist went to "park", and Hui Zhenzi led Qian Yuanlong up the mountain.

Wang Ping beside Tao Lingling smiled sarcastically, and said: "It really is a short mouth and a soft hand. Although Shangqing Dao is the state religion, he has received Qian Yuanlong's money, and his ambition is short in front of him. what."

Tao Lingling sighed slightly, "We need the assistance of Shangqing Dao to capture Mrs. Huo. Brother Zhang will investigate first and ask if there are any women nearby. Brother Wang and I will visit Shaotian first. "

Zhang Gu took his orders and left. Tao Lingling and Wang Ping went up the mountain. They carried long swords. They also attracted attention on the way. They reached the Temple of Heavenly Master. Tao Lingling took out the famous post from his arms and asked the Taoist priest to tell Shaotian Master. .

Not long after, the little Taoist returned with a famous post and said: "Master Shao Tian is still presiding over the morning class in the back mountain. Please follow me to the Seven Star Pavilion and wait a while."

Tao Lingling naturally agreed.

The back mountain on the Shangqing Road is usually not open to the outside world. The front and back mountains are quite different from inside and outside, and people from all walks of life and pilgrims dare not trespass.

The Qixing Pavilion is located in the shadow of the front mountain and is built near the valley. You can see the sun from the back mountains, especially the Shili Peach Blossom Forest under the valley, which is a superb view of Peach Mountain. Although the flowering period has passed, the petals on the ground have not completely decayed. , In the middle of a green, it looks like a batch of broken flowers and blue cloth, still scent of flowers.

Tao Lingling has been running around for many days, seeing the scene in front of him and he couldn't help feeling relaxed, sitting directly against the railing rather presumptuously, squinting slightly.

Wang Ping was dumb and waited in the hall. Suddenly he heard the sound of chaotic footsteps. He turned his head and saw a large group of people pushing two little Taoist priests into the hall. Qian Yuanlong was also surrounded by others.

This group of people entered the hall and was not surprised when they saw Wang Ping. They each looked for a seat and divided them into more than a dozen small groups in an instant. With weapons and clothing, Wang Ping could vaguely identify the powers at the top, except for Qian Yuanlong. In addition, there are the Quicksand Gang, Hunyuan faction, Majiapu, and Wuhumen.

"Sure enough, it was the martial arts gathering in northern Hunan!" Wang Ping felt slightly stunned, and he heard Qunhao yell.

It turns out that some of this group of people have been to Taoshan for two or three days, and they want to find Shangqing Dao to come forward, but the young master Zhang Zhongji has not shown up to receive them. They will inevitably be impetuous. They saw Qian Yuanlong a moment ago. He was more courageous, and couldn't bear it anymore, gathering a crowd to force the young master to meet.

Wang Ping secretly looked at the crowd, hoping to find Mrs. Huo, and soon saw the representative of the quicksand gang, a gray-haired old lady with grace, holding a snake-headed staff, seeming to notice Wang Ping’s gaze, and turned her head. Looking back.

"This person is very vigilant." Wang Ping suddenly lowered his head to drink tea.

At this time Hui Mako came in a hurry, with a bitter expression on his face and persuaded: "Everyone, Taoshan is a place for meditation, please stay calm, Master Shaotian is busy with homework..."

He said something badly, everyone was listening quietly, but indifferent.

Hui Zhenzi glanced at Qian Yuanlong, but his expression was helpless when he saw that the other party didn't say anything.

If it weren't for Qian Yuanlong here, how dare these mobs be presumptuous?

There was a moment of silence in the palace, and Zhang Zhongji, the Master of Heaven, finally arrived late.

Zhang Zhongji is about twenty years old, tall in figure, wearing a yin and yang fish robe, holding a whisk in his hand, walking lightly, abundance and handsome, graceful like a fairy, he seems to have brought the mountain breeze into the temple, and everyone who saw it was admired. .

He showed a slight surprise and looked at the observation deck behind the palace. Behind the fluttering curtain, he saw Tao Lingling sitting on the ground, lazily holding his fists in salute.

Zhang Zhongji was dumb and ignored her. He first met Qian Yuanlong, Luo Qingcang, Mo Yidao and others who stood up to meet her.

Chapter 398: Unstoppable

Everyone was seated for the guest and the host, and Zhang Zhongji smiled and said: "Welcome everyone to participate in the Christmas of Emperor Dongyue, Zhongji is honored."

Everyone was shocked, is this Dongyue Great Emperor's Christmas a mess?Have heard of it, what kind of honor is Shaotian Master?

Qian Yuanlong coughed, "Master Shaotian..."

Zhang Zhongji snatched up and said, "Jushi Qian should not laugh. This is the first time Zhongji has hosted such a grand festival. If there are any mistakes and omissions in his sermon seven days later, please feel free to correct me."

Qian Yuanlong was really choked. Zhang Zhongji said that he would organize the ceremony and preach in person. Then, the next few days will naturally be very busy. There is no free time to go down the mountain to deal with the Xiangsi workers. Fang?

At this time, all the leaders in the temple are family members, so how can they wait for seven days in Momoyama?Since then, they have already gone back to their homes.

Qian Yuanlong hadn't asked for it, but was first declined by Master Shaotian, and couldn't help being annoyed secretly.

Ma Bi of Majiapu questioned: "I have been walking around since I went up the mountain yesterday, and I haven't seen a schedule for the ceremony. Why is it so sudden?"

Zhang Zhongji nodded slightly, "It was something that was decided only in the morning class. It was only because the celestial phenomenon was different last night, which is not good for the East, so it should be a sacrifice to Emperor Dongyue for blessing."

Everyone: "..." speechless for a while.

Qian Yuanlong's eyes lit up gloomily for a while, and said, "That's right, there are evildoers in the east, so in the Xiangsi workshop a hundred miles east of Taoshan, the evildoers gather together to lust (and) chaos (harmony), and run wild. Bogey, using poisons and hidden weapons to harm people without authorization can be a testimony here. It must be him who has messed up the great virtues of heaven and earth. Master Shaotian should go to eliminate the demon as soon as possible."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and repeatedly said yes.

Zhang Zhongji glanced at Qian Yuanlong lightly, and asked, "Is there a monster?"

Everyone said yes again. Master Shaotian made a count in public, and suddenly showed a bright light, and immediately said with confidence: "I know that this evildoer was born out of the catastrophe. It is really a number of days. It is not enough to borrow from the sky. This Dongyue Great Emperor's festival is even more careless."

Everyone: "..."

It's great to be a fortune teller. Do you want to fool people so blatantly?

But no one would dare to say that Master Shao Tian would not count the secrets, because this is the profession of others, like questioning the imperial chef's inability to cook, it is undoubtedly a matter of offending people to death.

But Hui Zhenzi on the side saw Qian Yuanlong, Ma Bi and the others look green and red, and he was worried, and suddenly said: "Maybe we can do both, so how about the old Dao first go down to investigate?"

Everyone was slightly startled when they heard the words, and for a moment they pondered.

Zhang Zhongji frowned slightly, looked at Hui Zhenzi, and said helplessly: "Then there will be Uncle Lao, but apart from the demon day, I also hope that the uncle will not rush into it. Whenever encounters big rocks, quicksand, big rivers, you need it. Avoid it, or you may be killed."

As soon as this statement came out, Qian Yuanlong, Ma Bi, Sha Tongtian and others in the palace changed their expressions slightly, as if they had been exposed as a conspiracy, and a trace of viciousness quickly converged.

The words of Master Shaotian undoubtedly imply that Qian's Shiwu, Liusha Gang, etc. used or even calculated Hui Zhenzi to blame others. Qian Yuanlong and others were guilty of their conscience and might not dare to act like this again.

But I don’t know if Hui Zhenzi understood, he agreed to Zhang Zhongji and wanted to call in the manpower. Qian Yuanlong suddenly said: "The elders are really anxious for justice and righteousness. They are admirable. It is a matter of peace in the north of Hunan. Let us help each other." With a high-five, eight martial artists walked out behind them, all of them arrogant and eight feet tall, with well-developed limbs, and the aura between walking, like a raging flame, shocked the nearby Majiapu, Hunyuan faction and others back.

Qian Yuanlong waved his right hand, and the walnut in his palm hit the back of a warrior's neck and head like lightning, but he heard two tremors of "Dangdang". The warrior remained motionless, and the walnut ejected back.

Everyone was shocked, but Zhang Zhongji and Tao Lingling in the apse couldn't help but shudder.

The two walnuts in Qian Yuanlong's hand are the famous martial arts in northern Hunan. They are even harder than the hundred steelmaking. With his amazing skill in throwing hidden weapons, they can penetrate walls and pierce armor. With a tricky angle, they are ordinary martial artists in the Dan state. We must also retreat.
