The world of Taoism

Chapter 22 Serious Injury (Please recommend for collection)

Official resources are not in vain.

If it's just an ordinary commoner, he might have to think twice about provoking this family.

After all, no matter how strong a person is, he would not dare to fight the local snake.

Even a master of sensing like Fu Jian is still afraid of cutting with knives and burning, and besieged by heavy troops.

To deal with the Su family, you can rely on the official righteousness.

Even if he can't mobilize too much power, the other party will be afraid of his identity.

"That's fine!" Fu Jian laughed.

He is not a person who is afraid of getting into trouble, but he is a little bit cautious.

Judging from the current situation, the Su family is likely to hide the remnants of ghosts and ghosts.

Jing Tiansi was declining day by day, even the superiors were a bit wary of dealing with such a well-established family in the local area.

"The two of us will go together tomorrow morning, but I'm afraid we won't be able to mobilize the power of the government." Fu Jian said.

Wannian County can be said to be the territory of the Su family, and the county lieutenant, master book, and county magistrate are almost all students of the Su family.

County magistrate Lu is a Jinshi from outside, so if he wants to carry out affairs smoothly, he still has to rely on local officials.

Under the pressure of the Su family, it is very likely that they will not help themselves.

Hearing this, Zhou Xuan's expression became a little stiff, as if he overestimated Jing Tiansi's influence.

Isn't it the department that manages ghost affairs?

Logically speaking, shouldn't they all be feared by ordinary departments and tremble when they hear the name?
It seems that this is not the case, Jing Tiansi has indeed declined.

But without Jing Tiansi, what means does the government have to deal with ghosts and gods?Is it allowed to develop freely?
Hearing Zhou Xuan's doubts, Fu Jian smiled wryly and said, "Have you heard of outsourcing?"

"Outsourcing? Can this thing be outsourced?" Zhou Xuan was surprised.

More than a hundred years ago, after Jing Tiansi was attacked, various powers were reduced, financial allocations were greatly reduced, and the original high treatment could not be maintained.

Below the county level, there is almost no appropriation, and everything is self-supporting.

So of course the people below will not generate electricity for love, and they can't get the money after exhausting themselves, so most of them will be dismissed naturally.

The task of eradicating demons and goblins is handed over to local forces, most of whom are from aristocratic families.

In counties without cultivation forces, the general government and local local snakes jointly manage these matters.

Since they don't have the ability to catch demons and ghosts, most of them are fooling around, as long as they don't cause panic.

Of course, local forces will not work for you for nothing.

If you don't have money, you can exchange it for power.

Below the county level, even including the county level, the forces are all intertwined, and they can't be cleared up or cut out.

Several forces check and balance each other.

The local forces will not do their best. Once their own interests are touched, they will definitely stand on their side.

Even disciples who make mistakes will cover them up.

"So that's the case, but if it's just the two of us, it might be a bit difficult." Zhou Xuan frowned and thought.

"The Su family is not only related to the official power, but also has an unclear relationship with the local gang. If the two of us go there rashly, we may not gain anything." Fu Jian said.

There are two gangs in the local area, one is the Red Flower Club, which is in charge of most casinos and brothels in the county, and it is a completely gray gang.

The other is the Cao Gang, which controls the water transportation of this part of Jiajiang in Jiangnan County.

Most of the members are manpower from the wharf. They have many thugs who collect protection fees. They are inextricably linked with the official. They are half-gray gangs.

The Su family and the Cao Gang are inextricably linked. Su Shilong's eldest son is a relatively well-known grain merchant and has close contacts with the Cao Gang.

"It's still not ruled out whether the Su family is a black sheep, or the whole family is like this."

Zhou Xuan sorted out his thoughts and said eloquently: "The superior is not afraid of the Su family, but arresting people also needs evidence. If you want to search this kind of family in all directions, I am afraid that you will encounter great resistance."

"However, there may be dark forces doing dirty things for the decent families on the surface. Maybe we can start with the Cao Gang and find evidence."

"Yes!" Fu Jian's eyes lit up.

How they say is also an official.

There is a lot of resistance to deal with a big family like the Su family, but isn't it easy to deal with this kind of folk gang?
The two agreed to leave tomorrow, and at the same time, Fu Jian had to go back to Feige to send a message to the superior department and ask for support.

……

At night, Zhou Xuan sat in the quiet room.

At this time, the Shensha Dahuang Pill has been deduced.

Shensha Rhubarb Pill*[-]: Simplify the steps by two steps, remove one material and add two new materials.

Shensha Dan Talisman: When refining alchemy, stick this talisman on the furnace surface to eliminate erysipelas.

The mantra said: "The spirit of the ages, changes and distinguishes itself. Gen takes one breath as the beginning, and the three talents stand side by side, enlightening the mortal body and becoming a saint."

"Sure enough, there is a way." Zhou Xuan's eyes lit up, and he really had a way to defuse the poison of the pill.

In this way, I can take these things to strengthen my body.

The prescription adds two ingredients, namely crystal and agate.

Grind the two materials into powder, and use well water to fly them once.

To put it simply, it is soaking in well water.

Because lead and mercury are "hard in shape and stagnant in nature", something must be used to soften their nature.

After adding two things, together with the effect of the spell, the poison of the pill can be removed.

...

In the county seat, in a hidden mansion.

In a house with no windows and a closed door.

In the middle of the interior is a circular altar, made of khaki clay, three feet three inches high and five feet three inches wide in diameter.

On the edge of the top step, eight directions are engraved: 鬽孔魀鬾魊魒魒魆.

Five of the eight large characters are scarlet, while the other three have turned gray and black.

There are countless talisman papers plastered around it, and in front of the altar is an Eight Immortals table lit with sandalwood candles, enshrining five wine jars.

A middle-aged man sat cross-legged on the altar.

The middle-aged man's face was livid, as if painted with a layer of gray, and he looked extremely terrifying.

Whoa!

The dark wind blew open the door, and the black light sank into the middle-aged man's head.

This middle-aged man is the Landlord.

The Landlord suddenly opened his eyes, and the blackness in his eyes flashed away.

flutter!
Landlord spat out a mouthful of blood, looked at the skinny body, and smiled helplessly:

"This body really isn't good, even a little guy can't be killed, but that's okay, I'll deal with you guys after I become a god."

The master of the realm is in the realm of induction, and that person is also in the realm of induction.

However, the Landlord has built multiple bridges, and the speed and frequency of casting spells have been greatly enhanced, which is much higher than ordinary induction.

Just now he fought with Jing Tiansi's men and managed to severely wound that man, but at the same time he lost a little vitality.

If you fight again, I'm afraid this body will be scrapped.

It's a pity that Su Ying, that trash, couldn't solve the remaining little guys.

My vitality is close to exhaustion, I am afraid that I will not be able to release the spell for a while, and I can only solve the hidden danger after I become a god.

Even if he is a small psychic cultivator, he can't make any troubles.

On the second day, Zhou Xuan received news from the carrier pigeon.

"Fu Jian was seriously injured by someone's surprise attack?" Zhou Xuan asked in surprise.

"It seems that I can only go alone..."

Fu Jian was seriously injured and fell into a coma, before passing a message to Zhou Xuan.

Before he fell into a coma, he confessed that he had injured the sneak attacker, so he probably wouldn't take action in the past few days.

Zhou Xuan had to take advantage of this time to collect information, obtain evidence, and cooperate with the higher authorities in the search.
