Chapter 145 Uprising
When Chen Ku was a disciple, he had to work every day. In fact, he didn't have much specific work. He only had to come to the shop on time, or go to a few masters to practice martial arts, plus some work of refining elixirs, slaughtering people, and brewing fine medicines. It's actually very relaxing.
A lot of work can be done in half a day.
Especially now that he has the false reputation of 'young shopkeeper', no one cares how much or what he does every day.
Therefore, Chen Kuzai helped kill the second-level fine dog, went to the master's place to practice swordsmanship, and prepared some medicine, and then he could go on his own.
Then he found an excuse to leave Yaowangtang.
Just went out.
Then I saw the city guards and government officials who were preparing to leave the city today to annihilate the demons of Ping'an Road. There were 150 city guards and 150 government officials, wearing strong armor and armed with sharp weapons, preparing to leave the city.
Chen Ku even saw his brother-in-law among them.
"Brother-in-law?"
He shouted from the roadside.
When Li Yuancheng saw Chen Ku, he quickly said hello to the catcher.
"Brother-in-law? Such a big team? Where are they going?" Although he had a guess, he couldn't help but ask.
"Of course we are going into the mountains to annihilate the demons of Ping'an." Li Yuancheng sighed and said, "Someone died in the inner city yesterday, and the order was issued today. The people below are also confused. There is no other way. Let's go with him. I guess That’s just a walk into the mountains.”
"dead?"
Chen Ku had already confirmed his guess and asked:
"Who is worthy of such a big battle?"
"It is said that someone from the Ancient Elephant Sect in Fucheng was killed by an incense master named Yao Wensu from Ping'an Road. I also wonder where the Ancient Elephant Sect came from such a large background to allow three hundred brothers to take action."
Li Yuancheng shook his head and said:
"Even the two people from the Ancient Elephant Sect were allowed to set off with the team. It is said that one of them went back to Fucheng to move troops. At that time, there will be people from the Ancient Elephant Sect who will come with us to quell the demon. I don't know. True or false.”
When Chen Ku heard this, he immediately looked at the two old men at the front of the team, both of whom looked to be in their fifties or sixties.
I remember their scent in my heart.
Then he turned to Li Yuancheng and said, "It is dangerous to destroy demons. Brother-in-law, please be careful."
"I know, by the way, don't tell your sister about this, I'll just go to the countryside on a business trip." Li Yuancheng said, "I won't tell you more, we are leaving the city."
Chen Ku watched his brother-in-law's team leave.
Instead, he returned to his home.
Phew~
I simply completed a set of nameless boxing stakes from Shangguan Yun, and I felt the incremental benefits brought by these nameless fist stakes. Although it was not much, it seemed to be able to permanently improve my bones.
"Shangguanyun's side, I used Ping'an Dao and Tuoshan Palm to lead the disaster to Ping'an Dao... There was no doubt about me, but I still have to continue to strengthen the tracking and monitoring of Shangguan Yun. I can't let the knight All Wang Baobao was swallowed up by Shangguan Yun alone, and there was no profit at all. "
With a slight thought in his mind, he sent Huoshanwu to hover above the Shangguan Yun family's mansion, preferably to keep an eye on Master Sui You's situation.
See if you can find the location of the Xia King's treasure.
Afterwards, he rummaged around the house and finally found a box of peace talismans.
He transformed into Yan Longhao, put on a bamboo hat, quietly left his home, and headed out of the city.
"Although no one doubts me, it's best for me to eliminate all threats and suspicions that may be caused to me so that I can live my own peaceful life."
Temporarily put on the Hundred-mile Tracking Technique of the Second Realm Fine Dog.
With a sniff, he sensed that the two Guxiangmen who were on the road with his brother-in-law and the others had followed the large team to Snake Fish Town in Baojiao County.
…
"Everyone, according to previous reports, the incense altar where Yao Wensu, the incense master of Ping An Dao, is located in the mountains surrounding Sheyu Town. Today, the team will temporarily rest in the public house of Sheyu Town to collect intelligence and return tomorrow. Shanpingyao!”
The person responsible for leading one hundred and fifty city guards into the mountain was a Sijing captain named Ouyang Lie.
After that, he looked at the two people from the Ancient Elephant Gate and said:
"Sorry, although you two are helpers who came to help quell the demon, the Sheyu Town public house is a court government after all. You two are white, and as a rule, you can't stay here overnight, but it doesn't matter. I know there are people in Sheyu Town. Even though this is a small-town wine shop, it still has a few upper rooms, so I’m sure you won’t be wronged. Let’s meet here tomorrow morning.”
These two elders of the Ancient Elephant Sect, one named Li Jiuxun and the other Guo Huai, were originally wealthy and well-dressed, so they had no intention of crowding into the Datong Shop of the small town yamen with these soldiers.
He didn't say anything else, he just raised his hand.
Then he left the public house.
In this yamen, several catchers gathered together and said with a smile: "I still can't get used to the food of this man. Now that I'm out on business, I heard that there is a local restaurant in Sheyu Town. It’s not bad. I had it before when I was in the countryside on business, and I’m treating you to it today.”
Li Yuancheng said with a smile: "We will naturally not refuse Mr. Chen's invitation."
Ouyang Lie watched from a distance as the head catchers of the class left chatting and laughing, expressionless.
The city guards and the squadron were originally two different units. One was a soldier, and the other was just a government servant. They did not have so many military disciplines and were used to being free and idle.
Therefore, at the suggestion of their squad leader, the police officers went out to eat one after another. Only the 150 city guards in the mansion remained motionless, waiting for the meal to begin.
But after Li Yuancheng and several deputy arresters walked out.
Not long after, I saw the two members of the Ancient Elephant Sect who had left Gongshe not long ago.
But see them.
He actually stopped at the head of Yaochai Market in Sheyu Town and stopped in front of a small stall.
"Huh? The antlers in the hands of those two people from the Ancient Elephant Sect are actually as crystal clear as jade?" Chen Captou raised his eyebrows slightly: "Can't those be the antlers shed by the Nine-Colored Deer, right? This mountain runner from Snake Fish Town How lucky are you to be able to pick up the antlers of a nine-color deer?"
It is said that after grinding the antlers of the nine-color deer into powder and taking it with the heart of an animal, you can understand the animal language of that animal.
"Huh? It seems that the mountain runner doesn't seem to know that the antlers of a nine-color deer in his hand are? Are they only sold as rare antlers?" Li Yuancheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
After all, the existence of the Nine-Colored Deer is too high-end. It is not surprising that someone in the county knows it. After all, there was a reward for the Nine-Colored Deer in the black market not long ago.
But in the countryside, the news is a little less open, and people who run in the mountains probably have never heard of it.
"Okay? This is going to be missed by these two people from the Ancient Elephant Sect!" Chen Captou immediately shouted: "Brothers, everyone has a share in seeing a good thing, how can it be picked up by two outsiders? We found such a big leak in our hometown.”
Anyway, there's no deal yet, they're about to step forward and intercept this treasure.
The antlers seemed to be the normal shed antlers of a nine-color deer. Although I don’t know if they still have the same function, a nine-color deer was offered a reward of five hundred thousand taels of silver. Of course, the antlers are not worth that much. Eighteen thousand taels, it should be Yes.
Although the head catchers' annual salary is only a few hundred taels, they can't be tempted by such antlers worth thousands of gold.
In front of the stall.
The two people at the Ancient Elephant Gate made eye contact and understood each other's meaning.
I never expected to encounter such a treasure in the countryside.
"If there is something magical about this corner, then maybe, after grinding it and taking the medicine, you can get a beast language ability... It will be an incredible help for going into the mountain to investigate." Li Jiuxun discussed with Guo Huai through sound transmission. .
"This country bumpkin doesn't know the goods. He estimates that we can get it for a few dozen taels. We must not pay too much. This kind of bastard is very cunning. If we pay a high price, he will not sell it." Guo Huai responded.
Just when the two of them took out the scraps of silver and planned to coax the antlers into a trade.
Suddenly,
Next to the two people, a figure appeared and said:
"Wait, who do you think I am?"
The two of them heard a somewhat familiar voice.
Then he turned his head subconsciously.
At this glance, he saw a familiar face, with a square complexion and a beard on his lips. It was clearly Junior Brother Yan Longhao who disappeared at the same time as the death of the second girl and Junior Sister Yan.
"Junior Brother Yan? It's you! You're still alive! Where have you been these past two days? Why don't you come and meet us..."
Li Jiuxun's voice was slightly excited, and the old man's beard was trembling.
"Yan Longhao?" Chen Captou, who was approaching here not far away, also immediately recognized the man who appeared next to the two ancient elephant sect masters. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Didn't you say that this man was killed by the dead Zhao The girl was sent to follow Yaowangtang Chen Ku, and then she disappeared. "
"Huh? Following my brother-in-law?" Li Yuancheng's expression changed, and he was about to ask the head catcher what the secret was.
But suddenly, Chen Captou's expression changed.
At the same time.
Li Jiuxun and Guo Huai, the two old men of the Ancient Elephant Sect, were still waiting excitedly and angrily for the explanation of the person in front of them.
However, Yan Longhao lowered his head and approached the two of them: "There are many people here... I will explain to you later..."
The two of them had no doubt that he was there.
Unexpectedly.
The moment the person in front of him finished saying the word 'explanation', his back suddenly bulged, and with a move of [Nine Dragons Combination], he turned into two palms and suddenly struck the chests of Li Jiuxun and Guo Huai.
Bang! Bang!
Unexpectedly, these two palms bombarded the body of the same disciple, but they did not fly away. Although the two screamed instantly and raised their heads and spurted blood, a rebounding force burst out from their bodies almost instantly, heading towards them. Yan Longhao bounced over.
This is another secret skill among the seven secret skills of the Ancient Elephant Sect, called "Soft Hedgehog Qi". After practicing, the inner Qi in the body can rebound the attacks of others.
However, although the two of them rebounded part of their inner energy, they were unable to withstand the person who made the move. The energy contained in the Nine Dragons Combination was far beyond their ability to bear.
Even after half of the rebound, his eyes were still black from the two palms, his internal organs were shaken and cracked, and more than a dozen ribs were broken...
"Yan Longhao! Why did you attack the two of us? Are you a traitor!!!"
But at the moment when old man Guo Huai vomited blood and endured his injuries, he roared.
Sudden.
However, they saw Yan Longhao, who was knocked back several steps by their inner energy, smoothly swinging dozens of pieces of yellow paper from his palm and smashing them towards their faces.
Hurrah! !
Those yellow papers burned in the wind, and were thrown directly in front of the two people like hidden weapons, and then produced one after another shocking explosions of fire, directly engulfing the two people.
"Ping An Dao!! The demon of Ping An Dao appears!!"
At this moment, a group of county government arrestees in the distance suddenly shouted:
"Quickly, light the fire signal and inform everyone in the public house that a Ping'an Dao demon has appeared!!"
Swoosh!
A rocket shot directly from the street to the sky and exploded into a ball of fireworks!
"It turns out that there are people from Ping An Dao in the Ancient Elephant Sect!"
"No wonder the two families are at odds!"
"Brothers, hurry up, follow this captain, take down that Ping An Dao monster, and establish the first honor for entering the mountains to suppress monsters!"
Several captains and deputy captains were originally among the best masters in the county government, at least they were all internal energy and Xuanguan. After seeing Yan Longhao kill two fellow disciples with the Ping An Dao talisman paper, although they were shocked, they quickly reacted and all drew their swords to kill Yan Longhao.
However, this Yan Longhao seemed to have been prepared.
After throwing out the dozens of feet of explosive talisman paper, he didn't care whether the two fellow disciples were really killed. He threw a few "smoke talismans" on the spot, and his figure disappeared quickly in the smoke!
When several constables rushed through the smoke, they were shocked to find that there was no shadow behind the smoke.
"What? How is it possible? Is it really a magic trick?"
"Such a big living person, disappeared in the smoke!"
"What kind of light skill is this?"
But I don't know.
At this moment, somewhere on the street, a figure that has turned into a three-inch white mouse, dodged several times, and jumped onto the beams, shuttling between the beams.
"Okay, there will be no more worries now."
Yan Longhao, who reappeared, still used the talisman paper magic of Ping An Dao in his hand, which would only completely lock the eyes of Baojiao County Government on the demon of Ping An Dao.
As for what kind of chaos and contradictions there are between Gu Xiangmen and Ping An Dao.
Let them figure it out by themselves.
Chen Ku was also glad that when he killed the Ping An Dao branch before, he left a box of talisman paper, which just came in handy this time.
But,
just when Chen Ku was thinking about this.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly,
from the Yulong Town government office, a series of whistle arrows and fire signals were sent, which turned into groups of fireworks and exploded, and then...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The fire and explosion sound, which were more than ten times stronger than the explosion of the talisman paper thrown by Chen Ku before, came from the Sheyu Town government office.
At this moment, the whole town seemed to be covered by artillery fire.
The two small eyes of the flower fox marten that Chen Ku turned into looked in the direction of the government office. With his golden eyes of a hundred miles, he saw an unbelievable scene.
On the hillside of the street not far from the government office, there were hundreds of Ping An Dao demons wearing yellow Taoist scarves, like an army, flooding towards the Sheyu Town government office like a tide.
Not far from the government office, there were powerful Taoist priests holding wooden swords and talisman paper, throwing groups of explosive fire talismans into the Sheyu Town government office without paying.
Chen Ku was dumbfounded.
Didn't the government go into the mountains to suppress demons and evil?
How...
On the contrary, it became Ping An Dao who led the people to attack the government office of the imperial court.
Is this a showdown, no more pretense?
Are they going to revolt directly?
