In the County Sheriff's Mansion, the old staff pulled Liu Gaohua to the back door of the official residence. Liu Gaohua saw a carriage ready, like We were about to go on a long journey. The old gentleman stretched out his palm and said with a smile: "Sir, please get in the car."
A woman opened the curtain, and she saw that it was her younger brother who looked like pear blossoms with rain. After Liu Gaohua came out, she felt a little relieved. She lowered the curtain and leaned against the car wall. She missed Liu Lang.
Liu Gaohua was confused, "Uncle Song, what are you doing?"
The old man said solemnly: "The Sheriff wants me to escort you. You go out of the city."
Liu Gaohua was anxious, "What are you doing out of the city at this time? Is there really a disaster coming to Rouge County? Uncle Song, the more this happens, the harder it is for me to leave here. Something happened to my father. What should I do?"
The old staff member who has been in the county governor's mansion for many years laughed and said, "If something happens, what can you, a weak scholar, do?"
Liu Gaohua was speechless.
The old man urged: "Sir, let's go, the eldest lady is still waiting."
Liu Gaohua shook his head and said: "I won't leave anyway! Let my sister go alone..."
Before Liu Gaohua finished speaking, he suddenly ran towards the back door, but as soon as his eyes were blurred, he discovered that the old man had blocked the door without knowing it. , when Liu Gaohua stopped, the old man smiled, like an old fox, sizing up the young man in front of him, "Uncle Song has been around in the rivers and lakes, and he knows a little bit about embroidery. Are you going to get on the carriage by yourself, or will you choose to be knocked unconscious by me and carried on the carriage?" Carriage? To be honest, Uncle Song is an old man, can you bear to carry someone on his back?"
Liu Gaohua is tough? He scratched his neck and said, "Knock me out!"
The old staff member sighed, "Your father knows your bad temper. He wanted me to tell you something, but I was afraid of hurting you. The relationship between father and son was deliberately hidden and not mentioned. Now that you are so virtuous, I have no choice but to tell the truth. Your father tells you, 'Liu Gaohua, in the past twenty years, you have not done anything to make me feel comfortable. Don't stay here and be an eyesore, okay?'"
Liu Gaohua's eyes were red and his lips were trembling.
Liu Gaohua was silent for a moment and said feebly: "Where is my sister?"
The old staff member shook his head and said: "I can't care about it for the moment. You and I The young lady will leave first. I have sent people to find the second young lady."
Liu Gaohua was stubborn again, and the thin old man became anxious and stamped his feet in anger.: "My eldest son Liu, I am really not telling you that a big man, mother-in-law, and mother-in-law can achieve such a big thing!"
Liu Gaohua said aggrievedly: "My father and mother don't care, and my sister doesn't care either. It’s strange that a heartless bastard like me can achieve such great things!”
The old man choked at these words and said angrily: “Let’s go, let’s go.” ”
Liu Gaohua was a little confused and always felt that whatever he did was wrong.
At this time, he felt the burden that had been heavy in his heart before. For example, his father was busy with official affairs and moral articles, liked to talk loudly with outsiders, and was willing to play chess with the family's guests all afternoon. All the children of close family friends never hesitated to praise him, but they were lukewarm towards his biological son. Especially after his expectations for the imperial examination failed, they would also use words to criticize him...
Now I realize that these things are nothing to worry about.
The old man sighed: "Let's go. If you stay here, you will only cause trouble and make your parents worry in vain."
Liu Gaohua was miserable. Smiling, "Let's go."
The old man nodded, and when Liu Gaohua got into the carriage, the old man drove the carriage slowly out of the street where every door was closed, with horses hooves flying all the way. Go to the south of the city.
On the road, I looked around at the scene of the county city. Most of the streets were still bustling with tourists, numerous shops, and bustling with activity. I had no idea that the crisis had enveloped the entire city, and life and death were on the line. According to General Ma, the demons must have come prepared with such a big fanfare. If the worst-case scenario were to come, hundreds of people would not die. In the history of Caiyi Country, there were many disasters that the court defined as plagues, which harmed countless people. Thousands of people, including the evil magic array of the magic giant, or some filthy magic weapons that have gone out of control. The bones of ordinary people who died in such accidents often left their bodies to be exposed to the sun, and did not dare to collect the corpses for burial. It was a disaster that affected Rouge County back then. That was the reason for the plague, which led to the large mass graves hundreds of miles in radius.
The innocence is about to collapse. Who among the ignorant people can escape? Unless there is a tall person who can withstand it, if you can't, you will have to wait for death.
The old man felt a little emotional in his heart. What the Sheriff's Mansion and Prefect Liu did this time made him, an old staff member, look up to him with admiration.
Prefect Liu paid money to ask Chongmiao Taoist Feijian to send a message. It’s true that Lingxi Sect will definitely send people to rescue. It’s true that Cai Luan can carry people to ride the wind and go south quickly. It’s true. .
But how fast? Governor Liu lied. Cai Luan flew alone and could indeed reach the sky above Rouge County at noon tomorrow. However, if he carried two or three people, he might not even be close to Rouge County at night. countyNorthern Territory.
Why did Liu Taishou lie? Because as the chief official of a county on the Mu Shou side, Liu Taishou needs someone to stand up in times of crisis. These people can support it until Cai Luan arrives with people. That is the best result. If they can last until noon tomorrow, then Everyone who has come out and made a personal enmity with the demon has actually no way out and can only live and die with the county and city.
If the big demon lurking in the city remains stationary and does not cause trouble until noon tomorrow, it will be fine. Prefect Liu will still have a way to force him to show up.
If Rouge County takes the initiative to declare war, the demon can still endure it until the day after tomorrow. Not to mention, by then the county will be in a good situation for reinforcements from all directions, especially the immortal master of the Lingxi Sect. is coming soon. Prefect Liu was even less worried about the situation.
So, when a scholar is desperate, he becomes ruthless and can drown people with bad water.
This was also the first time that the old man really got to know his mastermind Liu Taishou. Instead of being disappointed, the old man felt that it was worth a drink.
It's a pity that the chance is probably slim.
Before deceiving the young master Liu Gaohua to the back door, the old man had some heartfelt words with Prefect Liu.
Prefect Liu said frankly that if the disaster in Rouge County ended with the death of one or two hundred people, he would definitely run away if he could. But if many, many innocent people are going to die, don't run away.
At that time, the scholar in official uniform pointed to his heart and said that something was wrong here.
He also said that he had read so many books by sages, and he could be said to be old friends with them for many years. If he survived this time, he might not have the shame to read books in the future, and he would not be able to see them. Those old friends.
"If I never read books again in this life, what fun would there be in living?"
The parents of Rouge County have never experienced war or gunpowder in their lives. , when he said those sincere words, his teeth were actually chattering, his face turned pale, and his legs were swaying. He couldn't hide it no matter how hard he tried.
Let the old staff see clearly.
It seems quite funny to speak bold words in such a cowardly manner.
But the old staff couldn't laugh, nor did they think it was funny.
Some scholars who have become officials are indeed different from those poor scholars who think they have not been recognized for their talents and were born at the wrong time.
The old man who acted as the groom recovered his thoughts and speeded up the horse's hooves to leave the city.
The old man couldn't help but look back. He didn't know where the naughty apprentice he had secretly taken had gone to have fun. He couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked. He just asked him not to get into trouble. This time, Rouge County Disasters are definitely not something she can make trouble for.
The old man shook his head and said helplessly: "The water in the rivers and lakes is murky and the wind is strong on the mountains. It's hard to get along anywhere. Is it so difficult to find a living and a living?"
————
There is a home in the north of Rouge County The rice shop has been open for more than 20 years. The owner of the shop is a tall, thin old man who is taciturn all year round. The two guys in the shop who have taken root in the county with the old man are not very fond of joking, but they often go to the Chenghuang Pavilion to burn incense. The neighbors are more favorable to it, and the rice and wild groceries sold by the rice shop are of high quality and low price, so the business is not bad.
Two outsiders came to Mipu today, a middle-aged couple who looked honest and honest. The shop closed early. A young waiter who was newly recruited by the rice shop at the end of last winter explained that the rice shop owner had a distant relative coming, and no one thought it was strange. It is normal for relatives who have not visited each other in so many years to talk more after meeting.
After the shop closed, the shop owner and his wife sat at the table. There was a sumptuous meal on the table, and the aroma was fragrant. The three shop assistants gathered together from a distance to eat melon seeds. They were obviously not qualified. Take a seat.
The man who came from afar reached out and grabbed a greasy chicken leg and started to chew it wildly. He held a wine bottle in one hand and when he raised his head to pour the wine, half of it spilled out.
The woman tilted her head slightly, pinched the skin of her chin with two fingers, and tore off a piece of thin dough with a light movement. She threw it heavily on the table. Then he leaned back on the chair and exhaled heavily, "This piece of shit is really painful to wear. I can't breathe smoothly. I still need thirty pieces of snow money..."
The three store clerks in the distance gasped. The woman who had taken off her disguise looked really ugly!
The three brothers looked at each other and smiled, feeling that the face cost thirty cents, and the woman bought it very well.
As the woman spoke, she stretched out her other hand, tore off the second piece of dough, and threw it on the table.
The three of them were stunned and swallowed.
This old woman is extremely good-looking. The three of them began to pray in unison that they would not have a third face. So when the woman raised her arms again, the three of them silently wailed in their hearts, yes, yes , in fact, he is still an ugly person, but unexpectedly the charming woman winked at them and said delicately: "No, my sister looks like this, isn't she beautiful?"
Mipu hostThe man said angrily: "Hurry up and get down to business."
The man raised his chin to signal the woman to get down to business while he was busy drinking and eating meat.
The woman took out a small mirror, straightened her hair and temples, and said lazily: "Mi Laomo, we are here to share the spoils with you."
The old man picked up a chopstick of pickled vegetables and chewed them in his mouth until they were crispy. He frowned and said, ""You haven't even gotten the stolen goods yet, and you want to share them? Is there something wrong with you and your wife?
The woman lowered the mirror slightly and said with a charming smile: "You and Liuli Immortal are close to each other and have an irreversible relationship. They are old friends for more than a hundred years. Of course we, husband and wife, know that. It's just the captain of the ship. Shen, Mi Lao Mo, you can't drown with him, right?
The old man called Mi Lao Mo stopped his chopsticks and said, "What do you say? ”
“It’s so beautiful. It’s a top-quality product that costs eighty cents. But I’m too cowardly. Even though I offered two hundred cents, they didn’t dare to help me make one.” Zhang's face is roughly similar to He Xiaoliang's. "After the woman put down the mirror, she tore off another piece of face, revealing an old face full of freckles.
The man's mouth was full of oil, and he said with a smile: "That's right, if you can be like He Xiao Liang, or Su Jia, I'm willing to spend 70 or 80 cents like them, not to mention two hundred snows, five hundred. At night, I hugged He Xiangu or Su Xianzi and rolled into bed, tsk tsk tsk, it was such a magical day, I could not turn off the lights all night! "
The woman rolled her eyes at the man and continued talking about business, "A young swordsman from the Shen Gao Sect named Fu also joined the Lingxi Sect's southbound team. She was young, but her arrogance was as big as the sky. On the way south, the two ancestors of the Lingxi sect worshiped the little girl as a Bodhisattva. "
The old man in the shop put down his chopsticks with a heavy expression on his face, "Seriously? "
The woman nodded and said: "If this is not the case, we husband and wife want to break up the partnership in advance and leave you behind. What good will it do? We will not do things that harm others and benefit ourselves. If we are too careless in doing business, we will definitely not be able to build a long-lasting time-honored brand. "
The old man asked a key question, "How do you know that people from Shen Gaozong are involved? Does the Lingxi sect have spies planted by you? And the seniority is not low? "
The woman asked: "Is this strange? "
The old man sneered, and said with a smile: "It turns out that all the business is done in the mountains, I admire you. "
The man threw the chicken leg frame to the ground, and said carelessly: "Going to the top of the mountain will be great, right? Our little fuss is nothing. ”
The woman said straightforwardly:"Mi Laomo, that's what it is. If you are right, if you are determined to be tied to the Liuli Immortal, our couple will leave after dinner without saying a word. The Lingxi Sect's list will be enough for us to make a lot of money." It’s a deal. If you are willing to be of one mind with us, then make a careful calculation, activate the formation in advance after killing the Glazed Immortal, and take advantage of the chaos to grab the magic weapon and run away.”
The tall and thin old man hesitated.
The man wiped his mouth and said, "Kill the Glazed Immortal, and not only will his Glazed Lamp belong to you, but all the belongings of your old friend, as much as you can find, will be yours. But that seal must belong to us."
Mi Laomo pondered for a moment, "Wait a moment"
He turned to look at that age. The youngest disciple, "throw a copper coin and predict good or bad luck."
The young boy has handsome features, red lips and white teeth, and a bright smile. He took out a handful of copper coins, held them in his hand, squatted on the ground, and raised his hand. He began to ask: "Old Mi, is there any benefit?"
The old man said calmly: "There is no need to wear those women's clothes every night."
The other two disciples looked at each other with normal expressions and smiled. The young man blushed slightly and said coquettishly, "What's the benefit? Why don't you change it, Lao Mi?"
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Spare You'll get the benefit."
The young man with a soft voice asked: "With the benefit, will the disciple still have his life?"
Mi Laomo? He glanced coldly at the two disciples who had been in the business for a long time, nodded to the young man and said, "Yes."
The young man smiled charmingly, bit his finger, and smeared blood on the copper coins one by one. Finally, he sprinkled it down, looked at it for a moment, raised his head and said in surprise: "Good luck!"
Mi Laomo was relieved and looked at the couple, "I asked the disciple to activate the formation in advance, and the three of us How about we deal with the Glazed Immortal together and make a quick decision?"
The woman slowly looked away from the handsome young man's face and said in a good mood, "Okay"
< /p>The man suddenly asked pitifully: "Mi Lao Mo, you and Liuli Immortal have been friends for hundreds of years, how can you really bear to do it?"
Mi Lao Mojia After picking up a chopstick, he said, "I'll give you a glass cup relic from an immortal and ask you to kill your wife, will you do it?"
The man was annoyed.
The woman was not sad at all, and took out the bronze mirror to look left and right, "If I am worth a glass cup in the eyes of this heartless guy, I will live my whole life." It’s not a loss.”
—————
Outside the City God’s Hall, the girl stood tremblingly at the back door of the first hall, not even daring to stand between the God of Wealth Hall and the Taisui Hall. In the small square between.
Because the city god’s palace in front was beaten upside down.
The immortal master in her mind was first stepped on by the possessed City God Shen Wen in the back, and then she saw that the young immortal master was even more powerful, and he stood upright in an instant He raised his waist and forced the City God to take two steps back. After that, the famous Caiyi Guojin City God burst out with astonishing fighting power. He walked as fast as flying in the spacious hall, chasing the Sword Immortal with the Bearing Box and running around.
During this period, there were twenty-one punches, and it was still the strange boxing that broke the restrictions of the magic. Jin Chenghuang, who had obviously fallen into the devil's way, turned into gold powder and scattered in the hall. Numerous cracks appeared in the clay statue, and wisps of black smoke seeped out. However, Jin Chenghuang shouted loudly and made a strange handprint that the girl could not recognize. Not only did the gold powder re-gather on the surface of the statue, but even the cracks and cracks disappeared. Instantly close and restore.
In addition to a pair of eyes as dark as ink, the City God exudes a sinister aura. Looking at them will make people feel chills running down their spines, but other than that, his golden body is still shining. , dazzling, three feet high, every punch hit the wall and the floor tiles were shattered. It was simply a majestic god sitting in the heaven, slaying demons and demons in the world.
The girl with the silver bell was full of worries. Can such an invincible Jin Chenghuang really be defeated?
She was also a little puzzled, why didn't the old sword fairy sacrifice the two golden talismans? Not even willing to use the flying sword? Instead, she just fought hand-to-hand with the City God. She had used a variety of boxing techniques. Several times, she saw the Immortal Bearing Box flying from one side of the City God's Hall to the other. From the sound, he should have been swept into the wall by the City God. Being hit, the City God at the back simply tore down a pillar of the main hall, not caring whether the City God's Hall would collapse or not, and used it as a weapon in his hand to smash and smash it wantonly.
It was really a fight between gods and gods, and the earth shook.
The girl was shocked to see it, her palms were full of sweat, and she silently said, "Come on, come on."
Although the old immortal was temporarily at a disadvantage, he still fought heroically.
For example, he blocked it with his arms above his head and resisted the impact of a beam falling on his head. The beam suddenly broke and his knees sank into the ground on the spot.
The girl quickly closed one eye and turned her head sideways, unable to bear to look any further, thinking that this must be very painful.
Another time, he was kicked out of the main hall and rolled around in the square for more than ten times. Jin Chenghuang was standing in the main hall.Behind the threshold, with a sneer on his face, he raised his finger at Chen Pingan, who stood up and rushed into the hall again.
In less than a stick of incense, the City God’s Hall was demolished by City God Shen Wen. Once five or six beams were torn down, the main hall, which had gone through hundreds of years of ups and downs, completely collapsed. , dust covered the sky, Jin Chenghuang pulled out the last red paint beam, the wall on the left was not as broken as the high wall on the right, but the entire wall fell outwards, Chen Pingan was standing on the wall, his sleeves had already He turned around and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chen Pingan regarded this Jin Chenghuang as the second Ma Kuxuan, and used it to sharpen his body and soul through battles.
It should be impossible to defeat him with just a pair of fists.
It seems that the statue in the City God's Temple, no matter how hard it is beaten and severely damaged, can quickly return to its peak state. This is too unreasonable.
Chen Pingan glanced at the ruins from the corner of his eyes, recalling where Jin Chenghuang stood from beginning to end, and he understood clearly.
Fangcunwu is known as a wonderful little cave, with different approaches but the same effect.
The saints from all walks of life have their own geographical boundaries. For example, Mr. Qi and Master Ruan are in Lizhu Cave, as long as the Confucian saints are in Xuegong Academy, the military saints are at the ancient battlefield sites, etc., they are different from others. If you fight, you will have the right time and place.
It must be true that the city god of Rouge County is here.
Chen Pingan took a deep breath and continued to move forward. First, he tried to seduce the City God to leave the City God's Hall. If possible, he could It would be best to lure him out of the entire Chenghuang Pavilion area.
However, things in the world are not as expected. Although Jin Chenghuang is possessed by a demon and his intelligence is chaotic, he relies on instinct and refuses to leave the old site of the Chenghuang Temple that has been reduced to ruins, even if Chen Ping'an twice Even if he didn't hesitate to use his injuries as bait to throw him out of the City God's Hall, Jin Chenghuang could only use sections of beams and pillars as weapons to smash at Chen Ping'an crazily.
Chen Ping'an didn't want to continue to waste time here, so he still had to go to the prefect's mansion as soon as possible to expose the mastermind who was pretending to be a ghost.
The real excitement of this battle was fully revealed at this moment.
Chen Pingan kept punching, and at the same time, the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month in the sword-raising gourd were all flying towards Jin Chenghuang.
Above the ruins of the City God's Hall, white rainbow first grade, green fifteenth grade, two flying swords, in conjunction with Chen Pingan's punches, hovered around the tall golden statue of the City God.
The silver bell girl was dazzled and stunned.stay.
In the end, Chen Pingan sacrificed a golden pagoda demon-suppressing talisman. At the cost of a golden talisman that was completely dimmed, he suppressed it. The golden body was cracked. In the end, only a dozen golden body fragments and the small cyan wooden box were left.
Chen Pingan silently put away those things, touched the blood on his face, came to the girl, and asked with a smile: "What is your name?"
The girl was stunned and said, "Liu Gaoxin!"
Chen Ping'an said: "Happy?"
The girl blushed a little and explained : "High in high places, warm and welcoming. Not happy."
When the parents chose the name, it meant that in the future, she would be able to stand out, and she would still be able to stand out at the highest place. Fragrant.
The girl has a beautiful face and a pure state of mind.
She did not want to get entangled in this matter. The immortal master in front of her had finished his battle with the possessed Jin Chenghuang and needed to recuperate his energy.
Chen Ping'an originally wanted to say that this name was really good, it would be appreciated by both refined and popular people, and it was very similar to his own name.
The result was not "happy", so I had to swallow the words back.
Chen Ping'an suddenly muttered a little and asked doubtfully: "Are you Liu Gaohua's sister?"
The girl's eyes lit up. "Why, the immortal master also knows my brother?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "We just met not long ago, just in time, I want to go to the county governor's house and tell your father, that old immortal, That's the culprit."
The girl didn't go to see the excitement on the high platform in the middle of the lake, so she didn't see the faces of the old fairy and the female ghost in colorful clothes. Chen Pingan had already rushed towards the high wall, and the girl hurriedly followed him. The two of them flew over the wall one after the other. Although the girl also had a tempered body, she was far inferior to Chen Pingan. Soon she was out of breath, and Chen Pingan stood beside him. The eaves of the roof were raised, allowing her to rest for a while.
Liu Gaoxin said cautiously: "Old Sword Fairy, why don't you fly with your sword? You can take me with you to fly with the wind to my home. It will be faster."
It’s enough to call the Sword Immortal indiscriminately, but is he still an “old” Sword Immortal?
Chen Pingan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he simply ignored her. When the girl's breathing returned to steady, he began to run head first on the rooftops of the county city.
The girl thought to herself that this old swordsman was really unconventional.
Not to mention his temper is getting better!
She used to sayWhile we were talking, I secretly glanced at him several times. He looked quite handsome, and he really didn’t look old!
