Chapter 208 Wiping the Sword and Shocking the World (5)

Lushan City is still under construction at this moment.

The peasants were like ants, pushing wheelbarrows through the city, laden with earth, rocks and rubble. In the moat in front of the city, mud was piled high...

In the north of the city, Lushan Academy is undergoing renovation. Dougong flying corridors connect each hilltop, and pavilions are also being built on them.

There are regulations for large beam buildings. They are built according to the title and grade and must not exceed the regulations. But now that the world is scattered, no one will care about it, and the construction is quite fairy-like.

"Gu Chou does have two tricks..."

In the attic of the Chenghuang Temple, Xu Chen looked at the Lushan Mountain in the distance, his eyes full of admiration, "Before the spiritual rice arrived, he planted a large number of wolf-headed konjac, used the imperial planting technique to accelerate its ripening, and used work as relief. Not only did he attract enough labor, but he also To quell the famine, this person made the right choice.”

Behind him, a Taoist priest from Xuandu Temple looked hesitant, "After all, there are some hidden dangers regarding the wolf-headed konjac. Many sects are dissatisfied. If we plant it, will it cause Wude Peak to cause trouble?"

"Why are they looking for trouble?!"

Xu Chen's face turned ugly instantly, "Those villains only know how to plot and plot, and they don't even think about the future of the sect!"

Seeing that his junior brother behind him was still worried, he smiled slightly and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, I have seen the wolf-headed konjac. Although it can satisfy hunger, it does not contain spiritual charm. In the future, the common people will eat konjac and the monks and nobles will eat spiritual rice. It will not affect each other. "

"Besides, the importance of Lushan City far exceeds that of Lingmi. The people in Xuandu Hall know very well what is more important. Didn't you see that they have sent elders to support it?"

"That's true."

The Taoist priest behind him relaxed a little, then frowned and said, "There's a bit of a fuss over there in Qingfeng Village. I heard that Tai Sui is building a Dharma altar and wants to fight with Daliang."

Xu Chen was happy, with some gloating in his eyes, "Isn't this a good thing? The establishment of Lushan City Market cannot be unknown. When I announced that Tai Sui was the first person in Huaizhou, I expected this day."

"It doesn't matter who wins or loses. It's all good for Lushan City. As long as they don't cause trouble in Lushan City, it doesn't matter if they break their heads and bleed."

"Go ahead and tell the disciples to step up patrols. I will personally guard the City God's Temple and build Ye City. Things like this must not happen in Lushan City!"

"Yes, senior brother!"

After that, the Taoist hesitated again, took a step forward and whispered: "Also, the people from the Law Enforcement Hall also came to Lushan City, but they did not come to us, but secretly investigated you, senior brother."

Xu Chen's face darkened when he heard this, "I know, these idiots in the Law Enforcement Hall think that I will be stupid enough to violate the sect's taboo for a poison-avoiding pill? Let them go, just pretend not to know."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away..."

After the Taoist was ordered to leave behind him, Xu Chen looked into the distance, firmly grasped the railing, and his face became solemn.

He is not as relaxed as he looks.

The capture of Yunxia Pass, no matter what words he uses to explain it, will become his leverage. If he wants to step into the incense path of the temple after death, Lushan Market is his trump card, and there must be no mistakes!

…

In a private house in the north of the city, there were also people looking at Lushan Mountain in the distance. They were members of the Yanjia Sect.

The leader is the Liangyao disciple Gong Meng.

"Daliang really failed!"

He had a sneer on his face, and the scars on his face became more and more ferocious, "I failed to steal the fish and got into trouble. Now I can see something good."

Behind him, Qiu Yichen frowned slightly and said, "Senior Brother Qizhen, when I was in Yujing City, I dealt with Tai Sui. Although he was powerful, he was alone after all."

"When you talk about fighting with Daliang, is it just pretentious? After all, my lair was almost taken away, so I have to show something..."

"What do you know?!"

Gong Meng's face became solemn, "When monks fight, the height of the altar should be particular. If it is too high, it will be difficult to be grounded, and if it is too low, it will be easily suppressed. You must find a suitable distance. It is the so-called 'the altar is one foot high, and the Taoist altar is too high.'" One foot taller'."

"The ten-foot altar is still being built. If Tai Sui is not a fool, then after this battle, even if it fails, everyone will have to re-evaluate his strength!"

With that said, he suddenly turned around and said in a deep voice to Bai Zhongshan: "The plan to lure the Law Enforcement Hall is suspended immediately. I am unable to wade into this muddy water. Elder Cui wants revenge, so let him do it himself."

"this…"

Bai Zhongshan smiled awkwardly, "Senior brother, it's already been done."

"What?"

Snapped!

Gong Meng was furious when he heard this and slapped Bai Zhongshan to the ground. "Without my order, who would let you make your own decisions!"

Bai Zhongshan quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Senior brother, forgive me, the Xuandu Temple Law Enforcement Hall has secretly sneaked into Lushan City. Didn't you say that this opportunity is rare? The previous arrangements have been activated."

He seemed to be trembling and did not dare to raise his head, but murderous intent surged in his eyes, and the bloody light flashed away.

After hearing this, Gong Meng was speechless, his face was uncertain, and he said harshly: "Is there any mistake?"

"Senior brother, don't worry, there will be no flaws!"

"That's good, that's good... In that case, you guys should keep a low profile during this period. No one can go out without my order!"

"Yes, senior brother!"

Although arrangements were made, Gong Meng was still a little uneasy. He fought for power and profit in the mountains, and often gained success with his special status.

But this time when dealing with outsiders, although he spoke harshly and seemed to have wisdom in his hands, he actually had no confidence at all.

What's even more troublesome is that Lushan City is suppressed by the city gods and secular gods. Old Taoist Xuchen even asked a group of disciples to set up a altar and monitor it day and night.

Release the puppet to investigate and you will be discovered.

The sight of his eyes darkened made him even more panicked...

What he didn't know was that a disciple of the Xuandu Temple Law Enforcement Hall was listening attentively in the hotel a few hundred meters away.

When I squeezed the magic formula with my hands, my ears actually grew in size and were still trembling.

The words of everyone in the Yanjia Sect were all heard by him.

"snort!"

Hearing that Yanjia Sect wanted to provoke a conflict, the Taoist snorted coldly, turned around and walked out the door. He put on his cloak and bamboo hat, just like an ordinary traveler, arriving at another remote inn.

The senior brother of the Law Enforcement Hall, Xuan Hua, is here.

Several Taoists nearby were reporting:

"Senior brother, I captured the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect in the city and interrogated them using ecstasy. There is no news among the wild cultivators..."

"The Five Immortals Sect is very close to Tai Sui. They are building a store and they are also making a big announcement that they want to help Tai Sui. Other than that, there is nothing unusual..."

"The people from the Lianhua Sect are also here. The anti-poison pill is also very useful to them, but they don't have the Dharma Protector. It seems they just want to run the shop..."

After everyone finished reporting, the Taoist who used the supernatural power of the heavenly ears stepped forward and told all the news he had heard.

"Yanjiazong is so brave!"

"Yunxia Pass, they seem to be involved!"

"Senior brother, we will come to investigate right now..."

"No hurries?"

Although anger rose in Xuan Hua's eyes, he scolded: "Our mission is to find the murderer and find the poison-avoiding pill. What if we mess up the situation and scare away the real murderer?"

"Yanjia Sect... they are worthless things. Let's see what tricks they use. It will be more useful if they seize the clues and report them to the mountain. The elders will ask questions."

"Right now, Daliang and Yanjia Sect are interfering with each other. Let's not get involved easily. We just need to get the handle and get some benefits."

"Senior brother is wise!"

Everyone bowed their hands with admiration on their faces.

Just as Zhang Biao's exploration information suggested, Xuan Hua was suffering from erysipelas and had a violent temper. However, it was not that simple to become a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall.

He also knew that something was wrong with him, and at least for now, he could still handle complex events calmly.

But far away in Yujing City, there are people who can no longer calm down.

"Be bold!"

In the Beichen Hall, Zhao Mian roared and kicked the long table in front of the throne away.

The heavy golden nanmu long table flew out and hit the main hall hard. Pens, ink, paper and inkstones were scattered everywhere. Some courtiers had their faces splashed with black ink, but they lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.

At this moment, Zhao Mian was tall and covered in armor. There were large and small holes in the armor, and it was covered with ferocious faces. He kept uttering vicious curses, and he had completely lost his human appearance.

After taking the Heaven Seizing Pill for a long time, Zhao Mian has indeed returned to his prime appearance, and he has also survived the transformation of the Shura Pill and entered the ranks of monks.

Even the evil curse of facial sores all over the body was used by him and turned into a spell. Every move can infect the evil curse.

But everything has a price.

Even the Witch King of Guo Kingdom had to choose the more dangerous feathering technique to survive. How could a simple Heaven-Seizing Pill change his life against the will of heaven?

Even with the incense and divine power of the Huo Luo Sect to suppress him, Zhao Mian was still tortured by the curse day and night. His ears were filled with the sounds of children cursing and crying, making him unable to sleep all night long, and he became increasingly irritable and crazy.

He stared at everyone with bloodshot eyes, "The Yanjia Sect was not captured, the army was blocked, and now even a small traitor dares to challenge me, Daliang..."

"Everyone...are you not afraid of the ridicule of the world?"

Xiao Yun, the son of Xiao Shen, the former commander of the Imperial Guard, has now become the Dragon Tooth Guard of Yuzhen Mansion. He gritted his teeth, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to go to Huaizhou and take Tai Sui's head!"

"Why do you?"

Zhao Mian didn't appreciate it and cursed angrily: "That idiot Zhou Dalang is not doing his job well. You think about avenging your father all day long. You are worse than him. Get out of here. It's an eyesore!"

Xiao Yun's face turned red and he backed away.

The chief priest of the Huo Luo Sect, Alode, stepped forward and respectfully said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The deputy chief priest of our religion, Gedar, has led his people to Yunxia Pass and is building the altar."

Zhao Mian's eyes were gloomy, "I have heard that Qingfeng Village rebelled and built a ten-foot altar. Are you sure?"

Arod smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Mr. Lu is accompanying you in person, General He Lianzhao's coffin has also been transported, poor monks will also build an altar in the capital, millions of incense will gather in Taizhou, and the temples in the two places will complement each other."

"Don't say that there is only one person in Tai Sui. Even if he has built the foundation, he will still be dead. This time, he will definitely enhance my power!"

"good!"

Just as Zhao Miang said something, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he suddenly collapsed to the ground, covered in cold sweat, and black blood vomited out from those faces.

Luan Moyan, the housekeeper next to him, saw this and shouted quickly: "The court meeting is over, let's drive back to the palace!"

After saying that, he led people to help Zhao Mian and left in a hurry.

In the court hall, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time, they looked at each other with different eyes and retreated without saying a word.

Xiao Yun's face was gloomy. When he left the imperial city, he saw a blind old man crying loudly in front of the Meridian Gate. The people below cursed and threw stones and feces.

"Zhou Papi, you have today too!"

"Give my daughter her life!"

The executioner next to him had no expression on his face. He just wiped the broad knife with a red cloth and waited for the time to come before executing the execution immediately.

That old man was none other than the former Father Zhou.

Xiao Yun watched with cold eyes and remained silent.

"A villain succeeds, but it doesn't last long..."

Next to him, a young man in rich clothes walked over. He was his best friend, Lu Xuan, the grandson of Great Sima Lu Wuji.

He still looked like a fool and sneered: "This old man is a pariah. Once he gets power, he will try his best to harm the people. Once Zhou Dalang dies, no one will protect him."

Xiao Yun nodded and said: "My son betrayed his teacher to seek glory, and I am so ambitious that I would not regret dying."

Lu Xuan sighed, "Isn't that the case for us?"

Xiao Yun was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Lu Xuan's face slowly turned cold, "This war is destined to be unable to continue. Hyenas like us are useless. It's not like you don't know the emperor's temper. In addition, the current mentality has changed drastically. It will only be a matter of time before the birds are gone and the bows are hidden." matter."

Xiao Yun fell into silence upon hearing this.

Lu Xuan patted his shoulder and said coldly: "It's better to make plans early. Anyway, we will never make the same mistake again."

After saying that, he strode away, surrounded by the generals' disciples, including almost every important yamen in the army.

Xiao Yun also sighed and looked at the sky.

He had a premonition that once the Tai Sui incident was over, this beam would probably change...

…………

In the underground cave, Zhang Biao naturally didn't know that he had become a butterfly causing a storm.

His eyes were firm at this moment, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He kept pinching the magic formula and spitting out phoenix fire from time to time.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bronze tower in front kept roaring, with cracks appearing on it, and sharp insect limbs piercing the tower.

Zhang Biao also had blue veins popping out on his forehead.

He integrated everything he had learned, and thought it would be smooth, but it seemed that he had made something extraordinary...
