Chapter 49

"Have you heard? The Zhao Fu official in the small courtyard in the east of the city has been seriously ill recently, and the disturbance made the master of the county prime minister restless!"

"Of course I know. I have a nephew who works as a handyman in the county mansion. I heard from people in the mansion that Zhao Fuli is coughing up blood so much that he can't even get out of bed!"

"What's going on here? Isn't Zhao Fuli a successful immortal?"

"You don't know, Zhao Fuli was so angry that he fell ill. A few days ago, the city was closed to search for demons. Zhao Fuli couldn't sleep for a few days and nights, but in the end he let the demons run away. Are you angry? "

"I don't understand. Now there is more than one restaurant in Yanze City, right? Why are only Zhao Fuli and his Huaiying Pavilion working?"

"They did it, and they were all busy saving the Chongxuan Pavilion. You all saw the burst of bright light a few days ago? It is said that it was done by a demon, trapping the immortal head of the Chongxuan Pavilion inside, ding bang five four one Tong, it was hard to break the demon law. At that time, only Zhao Fuli was chasing the demon, and he lost it without help."

"I understand, Zhao Fuli was so angry by other immortals that he fell ill, and he really can't do it any longer."

"It is said that Zhao Fuli returned to the city with injuries all over his body. When he saw people in other halls, he cursed on the spot. If the Lord Chancellor hadn't stopped him, he would probably have performed a full martial arts."

The disturbance caused by the monster before made the atmosphere in the city tense and uneasy, but things quickly calmed down, and ordinary people resumed their daily life and work.As for the Immortal Head of Guanxi, it is naturally a topic of conversation in leisure time.

The small courtyard in the east of the city where the monks of the Huaiying Pavilion lived, these days, guests often visit. In addition to Wang Juncheng himself visiting, even General Wei, who was on the front line to suppress bandits, also learned that Zhao Fuli was seriously ill, so he sent his subordinates to visit.

As for the other halls, the Chongxuan Hall was the first to come to the door, and also offered healing pills.Seeing this, several other companies did not dare to ignore it, and expressed their goodwill to Huaiying Pavilion one after another.

Xin Shunying sent away the female cultivators of Mingxia Pavilion, and when she returned to the courtyard, she saw Shi Huoguang packing up the presents.Xin Shunying asked, "Is Junior Brother Zhao awake?"

Shi Huoguang lowered his head: "I, I'll go and have a look."

In the backyard wing room, Zhao Mi looked as usual, holding a volume of "Golden Water Forming Method" and concentrating on it, with a green and rusty bronze mirror next to him, and a stack of yellow talisman papers on the table with the golden tiger talisman on it.

"Fractal and scattered shadows are originally the power of transformation and use of fetal immortals after they come out of their shells. If you want to keep one skill deep, you can separate three or five shapes, as many as dozens of people, all like your own body, and you can hide and appear as you like. Immortals Most people use fractal bodies to interact with ordinary people." Lingxiao's words echoed in his mind:

"Before the fetus is born, the fractal change is just a ray of soul, pretending to appear with the external energy of the magic object. This "Golden Water Fragmentation Method" uses the magic mirror to collect the air of alchemy water, and the person who performs the spell captures the soul in front of the mirror. The fractal body is hidden in the mirror, and can be released when necessary, or go out to explore the way, or be robbed in place of the shape."

Zhao Mi said: "It's a bit extravagant to use the fractal body to explore the way. I can use paper cranes as eyes and ears. I'm afraid I have to practice more because my fractal body doesn't even have a clear vision." Appearance and facial features."

Ling Xiao said: "But you used your fractal body to pretend to be a monk of Chiyundu, and you have fooled everyone."

Zhao Mi had no choice but to say: "In a hurry, I can only use this method."

When Zhao Mi found out that Master Fang was Chi Yundu's internal response, he thought for a long time alone, and finally devised a detour.He did not take the initiative to expose Master Fang's identity, but used the newly learned method of gold fractal to create an assassination against himself with his fractal body. Therefore, he falsely claimed that there was a demon in Chiyundu in the city, and proposed to Wang Juncheng to seal the city and arrest him. Require.

Although Wang Juncheng is not willing to obey Zhao Shu's words, he has given great cooperation in this matter, and even asked Zhao Shu to dispatch the county government officials to search every household in Yanze City.

It took Zhao Mi several days to search the whole city, but he did not find Master Shang at the end. This was to give him enough opportunity.

According to pre-estimates, if Master Fang didn't want to be exposed, he would either choose to run away and openly seek refuge in Chiyundu; or he would activate the barrier of Tiegong Temple to trap Chongxuan Pavilion, and take his family members to fight to the death.

However, Zhao Mi also felt that Mr. Fang would not run away. After all, Xingluo County still had the imperial army, his choice might be to activate the Tie Gong Temple enchantment, which was exactly what Zhao Mi needed.

Once the enchantment of Tiegong Temple is activated, the immortal general Hengbi can descend and sit down on his own, without Zhao Mi's intervention, all he has to do is to take this opportunity to release his fractal body and pretend to be a "monster".Zhao Mi fought with him, chased him out of the city, and finished the whole play.

"If you use your scheming to harm others, probably not many people will be able to stop you," Lingxiao said.

"Shangxian Lingxiao, are you praising me or scolding me?" Zhao Mi couldn't help asking.

"Even if it's a compliment, I won't praise you." Lingxiao sighed: "Ordinary people have acquired habits through experience. If there is no guidance from someone who holds righteousness in their hearts, people like you will easily fall into evil ways."

Zhao Mi understood: "Are you talking about grandfather and teacher?"

Lingxiao said: "They teach well."

"Of course!" Zhao Mi smiled knowingly.

Lingxiao was too lazy to answer, so Zhao Mi put down the scroll, put on the incense burner, took out the real-shaped talisman, and summoned the immortal general Hengbi with his familiarity.

The smoke condensed and formed, Hengbi appeared in front of him, and Zhao Mi felt that the other party was slightly different from the last time they met.

Zhao Shu got up and cupped his hands, saying, "Welcome the God on Hengbi to take his seat."

"It doesn't have to be like this!" Heng Bi raised his hand to signal: "I owe your kindness this time, but I don't know how you let the barrier of the shrine be lifted?"

Zhao Mi didn't hide anything from Hengbi, and after explaining a bit, he said, "Xiao Zhao is alone and lonely, and I don't want Liang to find out what's going on. I hope God will keep Xiao Zhao's secret."

"Of course!" Heng Bi's angry eyes brought a little smile on his face: "Do you know how bad Liang Shuo has been in recent days? Throwing cups, beating and scolding servants, calling for him repeatedly, but nothing happened. What I got. Annoyed and hated, full of resentment and nowhere to vent!"

Zhao Mi couldn't hold back the smile on his face, he really wanted to see with his own eyes that Mr. Liang was full of anger and anger.

"God of Hengbi, you have given up your dharma and immortality and become a local landowner. If you don't rectify your name, set up an altar, and build a shrine as soon as possible, you will not be able to live for a long time." Zhao Mi quickly recovered and said seriously: " Xiaozhao knows that you don't like the Liang family, but you have to express it in the end. If the head of Liang in the Chongxuan Hall finds you in the future, you may not be able to avoid it."

"That's justified." Hengbi said, "Since I'm here, I should perform my duties and manage yin and yang."

Zhao Mi said: "Xiao Zhao has the guts to prepare a countermeasure for Shangshen—you might as well say that even Shangshen didn't expect the changes here beforehand. I'm afraid it's the demon who launched a sorcery to infect the officials. The gods use the Tiegong Temple's enchantment to protect their true form, and they are accidentally involved in it for a while, and it is difficult to get out now."

Hengbi agreed: "It's okay to make a little change."

"As for the confiscation of the land and the rebuilding of the shrine, it is not difficult to rely on the power of the Chongxuan Pavilion in the court." Zhao Shu said: "Besides, the Liang family certainly does not want to lose the help of the gods, so they will only guard one side of the land. Words are the next best thing.”

Hengbi said: "But if the Liang family's children don't hold the heart of helping people and goods and saving all living beings, and blindly pursue selfishness, even if they are awarded the Zhenjun talisman and imperial edict, they will never call me again!"

Zhao Mi nodded secretly, Hengbi was originally a celestial general of Falu, if he wanted to call such people to the lower world to show his appearance, he would not only need to have the skill of refining Qi, but also have a bright heart and upright body to be able to feel it.

No wonder it was difficult for Liang Shuo to summon Hengbi Immortal Generals frequently, and it probably has something to do with it.If it weren't for the collapse of the fairyland and the disorder of the laws, Liang Tao took the opportunity to rule the cave, otherwise it would be almost impossible for Liang Shuo to obtain the protection of the magic talisman.

Even if Hengbi is transferred to one side, if he wants to call with a talisman, the corresponding request will inevitably be made.

Heng Bi seemed to have sensed it, and said: "Someone is looking for you, so I won't talk much. I will go to see Tie Gong first, and I will talk to Liang Shuo later."

"Respectfully send God." Zhao Shuyi bowed.

The smoke drifted away, and there was a knock on the door. Zhao Mi tore off the door-sealing talisman, and when he opened the door, he saw Shi Huoguang, and learned that Xin Shunying was looking for him.

When they came to the front yard, Xin Shunying sat on the porch and sulked, Zhao Mi stepped forward and asked, "Sister Xin is looking for me?"

"Have you had enough rest?" Xin Shunying glared at Zhao Mi: "I've been hiding in the house for the past few days, claiming to be seriously ill, just to test the attitude of other museums?"

Zhao Mi planned the layout this time without explaining to anyone in advance, and it was completely willful.At this time, he replied with a cold face: "Yes. It seems that other halls still follow the lead of Chongxuan Hall. Liang Shuo does not move, and most of the others will not move either."

Seeing him like this, Xin Shunying couldn't help asking: "Junior Brother Zhao, did you notice the abnormality in the enchantment of Tiegong Temple?"

"Senior Xin, why did you say that?"

"I have been watching my breath for the past two days, and found that there is a newly promoted person on the throne of the shrine that was originally vacant." Xin Shunying smiled wryly: "This is so unusual, what kind of monster would go to such lengths to do such a thing ?”

"Perhaps it was just an accident." Zhao Mi said.

Xin Shunying stared at Zhao Mi for a long time, but he never looked at her, and finally sighed helplessly: "It seems that Junior Zhao is unwilling to talk about it. Well, I won't ask."

Zhao Mi didn't want to involve others. In the final analysis, this incident caused the Liang family's talisman to lose an immortal general. No omissions.

Some secrets are enough to be known.Telling others puts both of you at risk, and it's unnecessary.

"The people in Chongxuan Pavilion said, if you recover from illness, you can go to Tiegong Temple." Xin Shunying said.

Zhao Mi sneered, Liang Shuo didn't dare to visit, but asked him to take the initiative.It can be seen how much Liang Shuo shrank without the protection of the immortal general.

But Zhao Mi didn't dare to relax, he used the golden water shape method to pretend to be a demon, and Liang Shuo might notice it, so he set off for Tiegong Temple after a little preparation.

After Hengbi descended and sat down, the barrier of Tiegong Temple was no longer silent, and the aura flowed slowly, ready to rise at any time. This indeed shows that the previous barrier was deliberately blocked.

Arriving outside the Jiutian Yuntai, Zhao Shu didn't make him wait this time, and went directly inside to meet Liang Shuo.

But as soon as they met this time, Zhao Mi discovered that Liang Shuo had blessed several layers of body protection techniques, and he was not as carefree as before, and was a little more cautious.

"Zhao Fuli's complexion is still good. It seems that he has recovered from his injuries." Liang Shuo said impatiently, "You should have heard about the raising of the barrier at Tiegong Temple a few days ago. Do you know the cause and effect?"

Zhao Mi frowned and said, "At the beginning, the situation was urgent. I only found out that the demon was casting spells outside the barrier. I was afraid that he might have other means, so I did it right away. I chased all the way to the outskirts of the city, fought against the demon a few times, but couldn't win. He escaped."

"Have you found out the origin of the monster's shape?" Liang Shuo asked again.

Zhao Mi wanted to scold others in his heart, but he pretended to be sick and took a rest for a few days in order to avoid trouble. You Mr. Liang are so looking forward to finding the real culprit, why don't you investigate it yourself?Are you used to ordering your subordinates?Or without the protection of the immortal general, he dare not even walk out of the Jiutian Yuntai?

Cursing like this in his heart, Zhao Shu said on his mouth: "Most of the monsters who have taken refuge in Chiyun's rebellious party are casual cultivators, and it is really difficult to find out at once."

"I sent someone to the county mansion to ask about it." Liang Shuo said, "You claim that this demon is the assassin who attacked and killed the former sheriff. This assassin also killed a Sanqing in my Chongxuan Hall. It can be seen that the demon is in the city. Been lurking for a long time."

Zhao Mi took a long breath: "I was also assassinated by him. If it wasn't for the protective technique, I'm afraid my head would have fallen to the ground. I guess the demon thinks that most of the officers and soldiers are not in the city. After killing me, it will be easy to hide or hide. .So I did the opposite, and simply sealed off the city and searched for him, just to force him to show up. Now that the demon has escaped, I can feel a little more at ease."

Looking at Liang Shuo's eyes contemplating, he probably also speculates about the monster's actions.Zhao Mi didn't say much, even though there was a huge loophole in what he said, that was that the Tie Gong Temple was the property of Master Fang, and the barrier suddenly activated, the one who should be suspected the most was Master Fang.

It's just that Zhao Mi relied on the method of forming a golden sachet, plus he set up a scene to act, and pulled the county government to cooperate with him, he insisted on fabricating a "monster" that didn't exist, and held Liang Shuo's thoughts firmly, making it difficult to escape. go.

To be honest, it can't all be blamed on Zhao Mi's scheming, because it was Immortal General Hengbi himself who first set his sights on this Tiegong Temple.Relying on the power of Chongxuan Pavilion, Liang Shuo drove out the Huaiying Pavilion and obediently stepped into the trap.If it were Zhao Mi, it would be difficult to see through it for a while.

Just as Liang Shuo was about to speak, his complexion suddenly changed, and even Zhao Mi could sense the change in the aura of Tiegong Temple outside Jiutian Yuntai.A maid rushed over and reported: "My lord, Immortal Hengbi has appeared!"

Zhao Mi showed a puzzled face, Liang Shuo seemed very unwilling to talk about Hengbi Immortal General to outsiders, and waved his hand: "I see, step down."

Seeing that Zhao Shu opened his mouth to speak, Liang Shuo said first, "Zhao Fuli has just recovered from a serious illness, so I won't let you have a long talk."

Zhao Mi bid farewell knowingly, but as soon as he walked out of the Jiutian Yuntai, he saw the mighty divine light shining, Hengbi's eyes widened with anger, and he stood on the cloud with his sword. His figure was several feet high, attracting everyone's attention.

Heng Bi lowered his head slightly, just in time to meet Zhao Shu's gaze.Neither of the two parties spoke, and they knew each other well.
