Chapter 192
The Taoist Master Hu naturally heard the killing intent in Lord Langya's words, and his face sank immediately: "The weak eat the strong, and the king defeats the enemy. This principle has always been true since ancient times! You have a high level of cultivation, and if you want to take the life of a poor Taoist, just do it Just do it! Why take off your pants and fart, and play such tricks of condemnation and death?"

"Oh?"

With a smile on the corner of Zheng Xian's mouth, he said calmly: "This place is the land of the Qi Kingdom. Zheng is a descendant of Shengjiang, and was conferred the title of Lord Langya of the Great Qi. Every word and deed should respect the holy way and abide by the laws of the country."

"If even a person like Zheng doesn't take the principles of humanity and law seriously, and is as aggressive and murderous as you are, wouldn't this land of Jiang Qi become a demon kingdom?"

When he heard the word "Langya Lord", Taoist Hu Jun's pupils shrank, and now he sneered and said: "It's really strange, but I have never heard that there is a Langya Lord among the princes of Qi!"

"As for the land of Jiang Qi mentioned by your lord...it's even more of a joke! As the saying goes, the one who steals the hook will be punished, the king who steals the country, isn't this land of Jiang Qi snatched from Dongyi?"

Hearing this, Lord Langya Zhengxian chuckled, but he didn't think he was disobedient at all: "Fang Zheng came back from overseas and has not lived in the land of Dongyue and Taizhou for nearly 500 years, let alone a herdsman governing the land of Qi. It’s not uncommon for you not to have heard of it. Well, speaking of it this way, it’s really hard for Zheng to call himself the king of Qi.”

"However, the reason why Jiang Qi and even Zhujiang were able to occupy the former land of Dongyi is because Jiang Zuyanhuang made great contributions to the human race, and the Dihong family rewarded Yong Xijue to show their holiness. This ancestral property came in a dignified manner, so how can we snatch it?" explain?"

He paused for a moment, then laughed dumbfounded again: "Yes, I really want to talk about it. Now Zhu Jiang occupies the Taiyue Zuzhou, Dongyue Taizhou, Xiyue Huazhou, and the South and North states that have not yet established a mountain. It is the territory of the Dongyi tribes, but earlier it was the fiefdom of the Japanese mother in the ancient heavenly court, known as the country of Xihe."

"In the eyes of you Tianyi Sect and other survivors of the ancient heaven, no matter the kingdoms of Shengjiang or the tribes of Dongyi, I'm afraid they are all rebellious officials and thieves who steal land and usurp the country, and don't regret to die?"

Hu Jun Taoist heard the words, the expression on his face suddenly became complicated, with disdain and resentment but also a little dazed, thinking that the ancient heaven was too long ago, even he, the so-called bereaved family, actually didn't have any thoughts in his heart up.

He shook his head and snorted coldly: "That's exactly what I said! It's just rebels usurping rebels, thieves stealing, and thieves stealing! Everyone is a sensible person, so you don't have to talk about it and force it to the Jiang family. Paint your face!"

"In the eyes of the poor, the so-called Saint Jiang's humanity is the most hypocritical, and it is worse than Dongyi! Since Jiang Qi established the country, he has never stopped suppressing and cruelly suppressing the remnants of the Heavenly Court and the remnants of Dongyi. That's all. , man is a knife and I am just a fish."

"However, no matter the government or the aristocratic family, has there ever been any real kindness and compassion for Jiang Qi's own people? Hehe, don't you hear that tyranny is fiercer than a tiger?"

The Taoist who was born with the appearance of a tiger paused for a while, and suddenly opened his mouth and chanted: "The woodcutter's mountain is approaching sunset, and suddenly a hungry tiger is in the middle of the road. His eyes are like torches and his teeth are like frost, and his head is like the city's belly and his tomb."

"Stealing a living without a plan will lead to death. I pray and wail and complain. I am poor, old and orphaned, and I am so skinny, please don't miss it."

"Sitting with head bowed and wanting to ask questions, Yu Er turned over into the clouds. Don't you see that the ruthless officials catch people and suck the sweet ointment, and you can't escape after thousands of prayers!"

Taoist Hu Jun seemed to have made up his mind to show off the face of the Great Qi Lord Langya before he died, or he had the idea of ​​using words to squeeze the other party and seek a chance of survival, but the volume of his voice became louder stand up.

"More than a hundred years ago, I, the King of Jinchan, the Tianyi Teaching, originally devoted himself to practicing in Wuzhi Mountain in southern Xinjiang, and did not contend with the world. It was only because he saw the people at the foot of the mountain that they were oppressed by corrupt officials that they had nowhere to go. You have brought upon yourself a fatal disaster!"

"Hey, killing people will kill you, and saving people will also kill you! This is the way of Sheng Jiang's humanity in the mouth of your lord. It is nothing more than my race, and its heart must be different. If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it?"

"In this world, apart from those grassland people who work hard to plant, fish, hunt, gather, and weave, who else is not a person who eats flesh and blood and sucks nectar? Now that the poor are not as powerful as people, there is nothing to say! It's just that if you want to use this sin, the poor will never accept it!"

After Langya Lord Zheng Xian listened silently, he immediately said solemnly: "What you said is true, when Zheng was appointed as an official and a nobleman, what he ate and used was called King's Salary, which is really the fat of the people."

"The same is true for the world's aristocratic families and imperial officials. Whether they are doing their best, tyrannizing the disabled, or dereliction of duty and perverting the law, they are all self-defeating from the hearts of the Holy Dao, and it is okay to beat the drum!"

As he said, Lord Langya stretched out his hand and pointed at the three-legged golden toad that was floating in the golden tripod: "I think this is what was left by the golden toad dharma king. After Mr. Zheng finds out what happened back then, if he is really a pleading for the people Hero, Mr. Zheng has written a letter to the king to clear up his grievances, and this thing can also be returned to the Jinchan lineage of the Tianyi Sect."

Hearing this, Marquis Anfeng Ding Chengyuan suddenly interrupted and reminded: "Your Majesty, you must not listen to this person's one-sided words. That day's Yijiao's Jinchan Dharma King deceived the people and became king in the territory. It's so kind in the mouth!"

"I'll talk about everything after I investigate."

Lord Langya waved his hand towards Ding Chengyuan: "It's just that I see that the skin of this golden toad and yellow clam does contain a certain sense of abundance, and it can control dirty water. Including a tengu, it looks completely different from ordinary cults."

He paused, then turned to Qi Jingzhi and asked: "Just now you said that you were born in the mountains, but now the aristocratic families and officials in Qi State are really so tyrannical that the people have no choice but to rebel?"

Qi Jing was stunned, but in his mind he thought of Chen Er who was unscrupulous in extorting money, Hou Changqi who delayed the suppression of tigers for his own selfishness, Shen Ruhai, a famous criminal master who neglected his duties and perverted the law, and Xunyang County who ignored the lives and lives of fishermen in Qu'e Town for the sake of opening a lake. official.

He closed the jade box in his hand, thought about it seriously, and finally shook his head and said: "As the seniors said, there are county officials who do good fortune, tyranny and cruelty, dereliction of duty and lawlessness, and vegetarian meals in the place of corpses. If the people are destitute and the government is forcing the people to rebel, at least the younger generation has never seen or heard of it, but the Shui tribe and the demons are causing more trouble!"

"Actually, the younger generations have traveled all the way, and some places have been managed quite prosperously and peacefully. For example, in Xunyang County, Junzhou, because the previous county governor negotiated with the water god of Xunjiang, a Qu'a Hou Lake was opened up, which has flood control and irrigation for the local area. With the benefits, the people live in peace, the farmland benefits, and it also gave birth to the famous wine making business in the whole state."

"Besides, as far as I can see from my travels, the town god's Yin Division and Zhenmoyuan are quite diligent, especially the Zhenmoyuan's department, which is quite short of manpower at the county and county levels. To patrol around and quell evil spirits, an official office is often empty, with only one or two people sitting in it."

"As for the aristocratic family, the status of the younger generation is limited, and I don't know much..."

When he said this, the young man's eyes swept over Ding Chengyuan, the Marquis of Anfeng, and then fell on Dahei Mingshen who was still sealed in the golden jujube, and his expression suddenly became serious.

Seeing this, Zheng Xian immediately nodded in understanding, and said with a light smile: "From what you just said, it seems that you are more concerned about the disasters of the aquarium and monsters?"

"Zheng's return to Qi this time, I also heard from the lord that in recent years there have been abnormalities in various places in Qi, and evil spirits and demons have frequently appeared... The lord's words are quite related to Zhenmoyuan, especially Wuyun Division. Dissatisfied, they even intentionally put up the sign of the Gou Chen Yuan again, and compiled a useful army of demon-smothering troops."

"If there is no accident, this matter will be presided over by Mr. Zheng. Would you like to come to Chen Yuan to help me, Qi Xiaoyou?"

As soon as this remark came out, not only Qi Jingzhi's heart was shocked, but also the faces of Anfenghou Ding Chengyuan and Hu Jun Taoist changed suddenly. Only Wei Bao and Ge Shu Dashi, who didn't know it, didn't react much, they just felt that Qi Jingzhi was accepted. In order to appreciate it, I was quite happy for him.

Qi Jingzhi reacted in this way because he suddenly heard the name of Gouchenyuan, and remembered the monument of Zhanjiao Zhensha standing under the Xunjiang River for an unknown number of years.

Ding Chengyuan foresaw that there would be a big change that would affect the court and even the whole of Daqi, and the turmoil in Jiuzhen County was the beginning of this change. His two brothers had to be regarded as the stepping stones for the rise of Daqigou Chenyuan Liwei!
As for Lord Tiger and Taoist, he saw Lord Langya talk about the secrets of the state of Qi, but he did not avoid him, a member of the Tianyi Sect, so he knew that he might be doomed.

Sure enough, Zheng Xian immediately turned to him and said: "As for you, since you understand the truth and have no regrets in your heart, then Zheng must kill you for the sake of someone who died in vain, so you must be punished!"

Hearing this, Taoist Hu Jun immediately roared, golden light flashed in his eyes, and yellow and black flames rose from his body, as if he was about to fight back with his life.

What he rushed at was not Langya Lord Zheng Xian, but the Golden Kitchen God Cauldron not far away.

From Lord Hu Taoist's point of view, everyone in the arena is like ants to Lord Langya, but the Golden Cauldron is unusual, and the purpose is to make the opponent throw a mouse.

"Heh!" Zheng Xian chuckled lightly, raised his white luan's tail and slapped Taoist Hu Jun.

In an instant, this burly Taoist with the appearance of a tiger was blown away like a feather.

His pair of tiger eyes suddenly lit up, looking like a golden lamp, he twisted his body and stretched out his arms in the air, and grabbed the golden date where Dahei Myokami was in front of him.

When the yellow and black flames on Taoist Tiger's body collided with the multicolored golden flames covering the golden jujube, the flames immediately blazed and filled the sky.

I saw bursts of scorched black smoke rising from the Taoist body, but he burned the golden dates with yellow and black flames regardless, and even clasped his hands like tiger claws, pressing down on the skin of the dates and tearing them vigorously.

However, after several attempts, he already knew that he would not be able to break the jujube skin in an instant, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, he threw the golden jujube in his arms without hesitation, kicked it towards Langya In Jun's direction, I flew backwards.

At this moment, Taoist Hu Jun's expression changed, and colorful golden flames burst out of the acupuncture points all over his body, but in an instant, he became a burning man from the inside out.

At the same time, the golden jujube where Dahei Mingshen was was stopped in the air by the tail fan of the white luan, and the skin of the jujube melted quickly, and the Xuanjin Jiehuo, which was shaped like a bird of sparrow, spontaneously protected the lord, and the one in the middle was melted by the setting sun The nailed ferocious head exploded with a bang, and more brilliant golden flames gushed out from the cavity.

The multicolored golden flames attacked internally and externally, enveloping Dahei Mingshen and the scorpion calamity fire in it, burning it sizzling.

For a moment, the tiger wailed, the god bird wailed, the tiger lord Taoist and the big black god rolled around in mid-air, in a very miserable state, because there were also flames coming out of their mouths and noses, and apart from roaring, even half a word of begging for mercy could not be heard. Unable to speak.

Gradually, the multicolored golden flames on their bodies merged with those that originally enveloped the golden tripod and golden dates, appearing magnificent and enthusiastic.

The golden cloud and smoke in the Golden Cauldron became more and more turbulent, and the cloud snake, the fog tiger and the three-legged golden toad floated and rolled in it, looking extremely happy.

Seeing that two great monks of the fourth realm did this to burn firewood for the tripod, Marquis Anfeng Ding Chengyuan's face was pale, and sweat dripped from his forehead, but he didn't even have the courage to ask for mercy for his younger brother.

After a while, Taoist Hu Jun, who was already seriously injured, turned into ashes first.

As the ashes of the catastrophe scattered and the golden flame gradually extinguished, suddenly a banner appeared from it, and as soon as it appeared, it rose into the sky, wanting to fly away.

When everyone looked up, they saw that the banner was emitting a soft and clear light, and it was only three feet long. On the yellow banner, there was a black-striped white tiger, wearing five colors, with a tail longer than its body. It looked like a Zouwu.

"A companion spirit?"

Lord Langya showed surprise, and quickly waved the white luan's tail, a burst of multicolored golden flames surged up, enveloping the small banner.

The light around Xiaofan's body suddenly lit up, but he didn't do anything other than that, he was honestly surrounded by colorful golden flames in the air.

Lord Langya looked up for a moment, then shook his head and said: "If Mr. Zheng's guess is right, this is the most majestic Zouwu flag in the ancient heaven. It is a benevolent beast that will not be killed. Those who see this flag must stop fighting as if they have heard the emperor's order. It is said that even those ignorant soldiers who have been coerced by rebels will abandon their staffs and scatter like birds and beasts when they see this flag."

"Even Mr. Zheng has only read about this Zouwu banner in an ancient book, and this is the first time he has seen the real thing! That Taoist tiger is so obsessed with the way of tigers eating people and controlling ghosts that his spirituality is dusty, and even his own blood There is a hidden side of Zouwu Banner that I don’t even know about, and even after reaching the fourth level, I can’t get the approval of the Qiling, it’s really sad and lamentable!”

While speaking, Lord Langya withdrew his gaze from the Zouwu banner spirit, looked at the three young men and said, "This kind of companion spirit always chooses its own master, even Zheng can only force it to stay for a while. Between the three of you Is there anyone out there who has never killed a living being? Especially one who has never killed a sentient being?"

Qi Jingzhi and the others looked at each other and immediately shook their heads.

Lord Langya also shook his head, and asked again: "Is there anyone who has never killed someone?"

This time, the three young men were obviously hesitant, but they were silent for a moment before shaking their heads again without exception.

Seeing this, although Lord Langya was not very surprised, he still couldn't help sighing.

He pondered for a while, and although he had given up hope, he still asked: "Is there anyone who kills with a clean heart and never has the intention to kill?"

This question was even more unbelievable, and the three young people immediately shook their heads very simply.

Lord Langya smiled helplessly, and waved his fan regretfully, dissipating the golden flames around the spirit of Zou Wu Banner.

I saw this clear and bright little flag floating in the sky, and then suddenly turned into a stream of light, rushing straight towards the back garden of Baiyun Palace.

Everyone looked around, and suddenly heard a very strange beast roar from that direction. At first, they were panicked and angry like a roar of a tiger, and then it turned into a high-spirited and extremely carefree horse neighing.

The three young men couldn't help but looked at each other, their hearts full of laughter and laughter.
