Daozu is Cthulhu

Chapter 109 Tiger, Leopard, Jackal
"Xuantian Sword Intent, but the gods don't care about their origin, they only ask about their merits. They even accept savages, birds and beasts from all over the world, so most of them are authentic and shameless in the Central Plains."Although the masters of the Nine Daxuan sects don't ask about their backgrounds when choosing apprentices, they only look at their aptitude and character, but at least they have to choose people from the Central Plains, right?
And to be honest, it's not that I am discriminating, but the Taoist selection criteria are indeed relatively strict.Don't talk about those fanzi Hu Yi, even if they are demon spirit beasts in human form, many aptitudes are not good, and they don't even know a single character. Who is in the mood to educate them from scratch?

The serious ancient Taoist sect doesn't even look down on the aptitude of the lower third rank, so there is no time to train that kind of rubbish that is not good. '

...how lucky not to be a piece of trash...

But if you think about these hidden immortals in the valleys, even the people from the Central Plains can't pick out a few apprentices, and they also have to practice the five arts.Looking at Xuantian Sword Intent's character of "I'm not targeting you, I mean all of you are rubbish", it's no wonder that there are so many casual cultivators and such aristocratic families, begging to join the Mozhu Mountain to cultivate the Dao.Xuanmen really doesn't like it...

"Xuantian Sword Intent, in short, you see that the momentum is not right, just peel off the skin and call yourself a guardian of the divine religion."People from abroad dare not touch you. '

It's okay to peel off the skin!If he saw the person opposite him skinning himself, he would be too scared to move!And can we change to a spell that sounds less painful!

At this time, Sinan in his hand began to jump around again and again.

Li Fan quickly came to his senses, and found that he had secretly learned the miraculous skills of the divine religion all the way, and had already followed the bullock cart to the West Market.

This west market is obviously mostly people who wear straw sandals, there is a mixed bag of good and bad people, and the badges are not bad. The street market is crowded with people, and caravans and pack horses are constantly coming and going, more people than in the east market.Probably Dongcheng is dedicated to serving aristocratic families, but West City is mainly for merchants and ordinary people.

At this moment, Si Nan pointed at the ox cart going north, and then jumped to the west market. Li Fan frowned and found that the ox cart in front was still there, but he followed the ox cart all the way around for most of the way. The eunuch in Changsi City has disappeared again!
They actually separated and left... that is to say, the routes are different, should we choose the opportunity?
Humph, I want them all!

Li Fan thought for a while, then pulled Kun out of his sleeve, "Jianyi, you and Kun go follow that Nascent Soul, and I'll catch that 'handyman'."

Kun can come and go freely in various enchantment formations, and Xuantian Sword Intent seems to be able to cover the spiritual detection of Daoist Yuanying. These two partners, when they stole slag from the sword stove in Mozhu Mountain for a month, no one was there. I found out that it should be no problem to follow up and engage in espionage.

And Li Fan followed all the way, and he was sure that the eunuch was just building a foundation, and he hadn't even reached the state of consummation, so it was easy to capture and torture.

Xuantian Sword Intent is fine, it seems to be bored, and is quite interested in how this will develop later, 'Come on!Catch up with the bullock cart in front of me! 'It was pasted on Kun's head.

Kun looked at Li Fan with bulging eyes.

"Hey, I'll buy you tofu." Li Fan didn't know about it yet.

Seeing that Li Fan had been tamed, Kun nodded in satisfaction and wandered away, halfway back to add another sentence.

'Kun, that thing was shining just now. '

Then it swims away again.

What?What about that thing and that thing?

Li Fan froze for a long time, touched his sleeves for a while, and then realized what Kun was talking about.

It should be the 'Rubik's Cube'.

Holding the Rubik's Cube in his hand, although it didn't 'shine' like Kun said, it was obvious that it had changed color.

It is still black, but there is a clear difference between black and black.Especially when comparing one grid by one grid and one grid by one grid, one can see at a glance that there are some squares of black, which are different from other blacks, not a kind of black...

Li Fan stared at the black magic for a while, and fiddled for a while, but there was no reaction.

"..."

Forget it, I can't figure it out, there are too many tasks to take care of, so let's do it one by one.

In order not to miss any more flashes, Li Fan held the Rubik's Cube in one hand, Sinan in the other, and the sword case in the other. Attending the eunuch, all the way through the West Market.

He didn't plan to follow this guy around anymore, he would pick an alley with few people later, take the initiative to attack, jump up and tie this guy up, and then slowly interrogate him with the Qiankun sleeve.

Hey, don't even mention it, this guy seems to have really heard Li Fan's heartfelt thoughts, and lurching around, he burrowed into the alley with few people.

So Li Fan also burst into laughter, patted on the invisibility talisman, put it on without knowing his face, and stretched out seven or eight hands from his sleeves, smiling so much that he was about to hug him in his arms and tie him up.

Then the servant stopped, "You have been with me for so long, come out, don't hide."

trap! ?
Li Fan was taken aback, he retracted his hands into his sleeves, turned around and jumped onto the edge of the wall next to him.About to reveal the sword box to kill...

Then a voice came from the other end of the alley.

"You actually found me?"

Li Fan turned his head violently, shocked!
There are still people following behind him!It's a person who also wears an unknown face and a hat, has lifted the invisibility charm, and is wearing a cloak. It sounds like a woman!

Yes, how did you find out!He didn't even notice!
"Hehe, it's a great crime of usurpation to use your spiritual sense to detect my master. Only you mountain people in the south dare to be so offensive and disrespectful in the capital city." The servant turned around and smiled softly at the woman, " But you, a countryman, are so impolite, you use magic tricks to spy on the frame, you probably don't know who my master is?

Could it be that, as the master said, it was actually aimed at me?Could it be that the little one offended Your Excellency, or in other words, offended the people in the mountains? "

"This matter has nothing to do with the mountains, and I don't want to offend your master. It's just that some family matters are involved, and I just want to ask you some news." The woman in the hat and cloak didn't panic, but blocked the way out of the alley.

Unexpectedly being cut off, Li Fan squinted his eyes, and decided to listen to the wall for a while, and then the two of them were tied up together, all they wanted.

"Hmph, is it really just asking people?" The servant smiled and said, "Then you are lucky today, I have urgent matters to do, and I don't have time to entangle you, so if you want to ask anything, ask quickly."

So the woman nodded, "I want to ask about the details of tigers, leopards and wolves."

Tigers, leopards, wolves?

Li Fan frowned, as if he was one of the four big dudes, right?He happened to inquire about the Guo family with the maid before, and said that Guo Er was the leopard...

At this time, a square of the Rubik's Cube in his hand suddenly lit up!
Li Fan was so frightened that he had a heart attack, he quickly covered it with his hands, and almost drew his sword to kill someone.But fortunately, the two people at the bottom of the alley seemed to be blind. They didn't see the bright light from the Rubik's Cube at all, and they didn't notice Li Fan's existence at all.

"Tigers, leopards and wolves?" The waiter's smile grew wider, "You don't even know their details, are they really from the mountains in the south?"

The woman shook her head, "You don't have to try me either. I said that it has nothing to do with the mountain or your master. It's just that I'm investigating something, and I happened to find out about you. As long as I can find out the true master's background, I will naturally I will go to him and not interfere with your urgent affairs."

The servant smiled and was silent for a while, then said, "Tigers, leopards, wolves, everyone knows, the four princes of Gyeonggi."

The woman turned her head away again, "I know, the four dandies in Changsi City, don't lie to me with the disguise on the surface, I found you, and I just want to ask what they do! Some things are not something ordinary dandies can do Arrived! Where are they coming from!"

The waiter laughed even more cheerfully, "Oh~~ You really are a country bumpkin who doesn't understand anything, that's good, at least you are not stupid, and if you have a conflict with the four young masters, instead of rushing up immediately to seek death, you also know to find someone else first." Locals, find out about them.

Well, as a local, I will introduce the secrets of Changsi City to you, a bumpkin from other places. "

Then the smile on the servant's face disappeared, "They are the Four Great Princes, not the Four Great Dudes, but the leaders of the Dandies. They are the planned leaders of the younger generation of Gyeonggi and Gyeongfu."

Li Fan and the woman were stunned for a moment, "...the intended leader of the younger generation?"

The servant clasped his hands towards the northwest, "To be offensive, that person has been doing nothing for a long time. The people in the people's palace in the mountains are constantly arguing with each other, so naturally nothing can be done. But some things have to be done Well, the four young masters are those who work outside the city for those in the city.

Villains are also this kind of people, and the four of them are the leaders of people like us. A little means and skill, that can't convince the crowd.

But four of them did it, and everyone knows it.

The simplest example is that Changsi City is centered on Zhuque Street, and the towns and cities in the east city are all gathered by noble families. The person in charge of the east city is Guo Bao, who is the direct son of the Guo family.Guo Taishi's family doesn't need to ask, right?The nobles of the rich and noble families followed his lead and wanted to do something, Guo Bao invited him a drink and arranged it.

But only nobles in a corner of the city buy Guo Bao's face. His way can't control all the places in Changsi City, so people like me come to run errands and coordinate with all parties to get things done. up. "

If Li Fan has realized something, the Guo family is indeed the leader of Xungui and the outer sect. Although Guo Bao or Guo Zhao are not the eldest sons, they are also the eldest sons. Although they are not big officials, they freely enter and leave the East Palace. Gui, a white glove middleman between the outer gate of Black Bamboo Mountain and various forces in the outer city.

But his words are not 100% effective. Things like power are invisible and intangible. Every group has its own principles and strong people it follows. A strong dragon does not overwhelm a snake.

And if you want to dominate Changsi City, you don't need to really wield two watermelon knives and fight all the way from Guangzhaifang to Nanmen to prove that you have abundant martial arts.Then the guards patrolling the city hold you down first, okay?
The circles in the Central Plains pay attention to civility and politeness. Many times, powerful people don’t need to actually use swords and guns. Running errands all over the city, passing a few words, and planning from them, many things can be done.

Or put it the other way around, if you don't understand the rules and ways of the world, and you can't communicate with the right people, the right methods, and the right forces in advance, then in this metropolis full of fish and dragons, I'm afraid you can't ask for anything. Don't even think about it.

The servant laughed again and said, "The east of the city is the territory of nobles, and the west of the city is naturally populated by people under their feet. But Changsi City is actually divided into north and south besides the east and west. There is nothing else, because the imperial city is in the north. The closer the imperial city is, the more powerful the natural power will be.

For example, in the northeastern part of the city, people lived in rich and powerful families like the Guo family, who were powerful in the dynasty.Some leisurely officials and unwilling civil servants and scholar-officials lived in the southeast.Of course, some relatives of the royal family also live in the southeast. After all, their status is here, and it is not easy for them to be too close to the imperial city. But generally speaking, it is well-ordered, depending on status, family background and family status.

And the north and south in Xicheng are clearly divided.The west city divides, and the people who live in the northwest of the city are all upstarts promoted from poor families, tyrants from all over the world, barbarian merchants from foreign countries, newly promoted aristocrats, jesters who are shamed by nobles, and generals of the imperial army who curry favor with powerful officials.Of course, the most luxurious mansion belongs to the eunuchs in Liqiu Palace.

The biggest eunuch in Li Kingdom should be the chief eunuch who holds the seal of Li Qiu Palace.But the inner and outer courts are different, eunuchs with high ranks are actually not as powerful as eunuchs who are favored by their masters.During the reign of Shizi Guangling, the state affairs were always handled by the East Palace, so the leader of the eunuchs is actually the regular attendant of the East Palace.

But eunuchs can't easily go out of the palace, so the affairs of the west city are all handled by the nephews of the same clan of eunuchs.Therefore, there is not one wolf, but a group of wolves. Although they are powerful, they are upstarts after all.

And now the leader wolf in this wolf pack is surnamed Wang, but the really powerful one is not the king wolf, but his father.

This Wang family was originally a commander in the frontier town for many generations. Ten years ago, relying on the military exploits of suppressing the rebellion of the rebel king Li Xinglong and the remnants of the Black Lotus Sect, he was honored for twelve ranks and successively served as the governor of the nine towns. He was promoted rapidly all the way. Upstart.

The Patriarch of the Wang family is also a sensible person, knowing that he has no foundation in the imperial court, and who promoted him, so he took the initiative to find a fellow of their family, the regular attendant in the East Palace, and the general of the left guard. Wang Changshi, worshiped as foster father.

That's why the Wang family is now in charge of Li Guo's military power.Now he has become one of the ministers of Tuogu, the official worships the Taiwei, honors the Zhu Kingdom, and is promoted by serious military merits, and now he can even stand against Guo Taishi's family in the army.Hehe, in fact, it was all the means used by the son of Guangling to suppress the Heng Xungui family back then.

So this king wolf is the son of Taiwei Wang of the current dynasty, and the grandson of Wang Changshi of the East Palace.It was raised in the border area again, not contaminated with too many bad habits of dandies, and has solid fists and feet.Usually he also likes flying eagles and horses, and often goes hunting in the outskirts, but he doesn't really rely on the power of his godfather and father to run amok in the city.

Compared to other wild wolves, Wang Lang can still understand the truth. He doesn't kill too many people, and there is someone around him who is helping him with his plans, and the shots are very generous. The wolves in the west city can't beat him. He was also afraid of his family's current power, so Wang Lang was the leader in the west of the city, and when the son of Guangling was there, he confronted Guo Bao everywhere.

But there is another place in the southwest corner of Changsi City, where people live in straw sandals, a slum.

There shouldn't be such a place at the foot of the king's city, but the serving servants are too far away, and it's inconvenient for the masters to use it.So no one cares about it.Millions of poor people gathered in that corner, so the dozen or so squares in the southwest were a mixed bag and a mess.Even the yamen servants and officials dare not go in and out casually. There are three religions and nine streams, evil sects and heretics, and they have great energy.

Now Wang Lang is in charge of those low-level gangs in the slums in the southwestern part of the city. His confidants are his confidantes. His brother, who is in charge, is said to be his cousin by marriage of the royal family, and he is also from the southern mountain clan. He is a strategist with a lot of scheming and means, and he can talk to all parties, and he is very good at doing things. Whether he is ordered or entrusted, there is nothing that cannot be done.

The people at the bottom called him and Wang Lang together, he was called Lu Jackal, he was indeed talented, he was able to help Wang Lang overpower Guo Bao, and he even managed the mess in the southwest, collecting a lot of tax money He is also a master of doing things for others, so he is appreciated by the eunuchs in the palace, and the pack of wolves also got a lot of advice from Lu Jackal. He is respected as a military adviser and a think tank, and his reputation is bigger than that of Wang Lang. "

This, the Lu family from the mountains in the south?Are they related by marriage to the Wang family in Changsi City?This Lu jackal, could it be that he was referring to Senior Brother Lu's son! ?
kindness!The Rubik's Cube is on again!What's the matter with this thing!
