Chapter 247 True Friendship in Times of Adversity

After returning to Baojiao County, Chen Ku was not in a hurry to go directly to Qiulong Mansion to meet his family and masters. Instead, he stood not far from the outer city and stared at Baojiao County.

Although he was out of trouble, many of his relatives and friends were still trapped in the city.

If you leave now, you will be sitting back and watching some friends and relatives in the city being enslaved by the Tao of Peace and turned into so-called believers in the Kingdom of God, and will never be free again.

Especially Chai Tiangui, Jiang Shaoyou, Wu Gui from his Chenji Iron Shop, Li Jiyang's grandsons, and his brother-in-law whose whereabouts are unknown.

"Although I, Chen Ku, am not an upright man, I cannot be an ungrateful villain. These people must be saved."

He muttered to himself.

He turned into a little bee and approached Baojiao County. He thought that with the size of a little bee, he could enter the city without anyone noticing.

As a result, just as they approached the city wall, they bumped into an invisible air barrier.

Buzz~~

Following this collision, lines like ponds suddenly rippled in the air, and traces of running runes were faintly visible.

He was shocked:

"This is... the 'Incense and Golden Light Array' recorded in the [Nine Heavens Divine Curse]?"

Immediately turned on [Double Eyes].

Looking towards the city, he saw that under his eyes that could see ghosts and ghosts, in Baojiao County at this moment, covering Baojiao City with a radius of fifty miles, there was actually a golden light that looked like an 'egg shell' The cover covered the entire city.

at the same time,

Among the houses, some powder like golden stardust actually floated out, and they gathered one by one at the place where the 'City God's Temple' was originally located in the city.

From the location of the City God's Temple, four light pillars were formed, maintaining the formation above the entire city.

On the city wall, visible to the naked eye are rows of yellow scarf Taoist soldiers guarding the city.

"This Ping An Dao has really turned Baojiao County into a fortress like an iron barrel in a physical sense. Moreover, the number of Taoist soldiers guarding the city has also increased tenfold. How come it feels like the number of Ping An Dao Tao soldiers in the city has at least increased. Eight or nine thousand people, could it be that during the half day I entered the Xiawang Treasure, all the base camps of the Ping'an Dao demons wandering outside Baojiao County came to the city to station themselves?"

Chen Ku felt that the intensity of the incense and golden light formation was no less than the defense of a seventh-level master, and he knew clearly that he could not fly in from high altitude.

And there are nearly ten thousand Ping An Dao troops who cannot break through forcefully!

So, I chose to escape.

As a result, he didn't expect that there was a circle of golden light even underground, causing his dragon body to hit a wall.

Chen Ku frowned:

"I don't believe it. Your formation really has no weaknesses?"

He immediately began to recall the entire contents of the Nine Heavens Divine Curse in his mind, and learned about the incense and golden light formation in detail, and finally discovered some of the rules of the formation's operation.

"Yes, you can use Grandmaster Vacuum's 'Spiritual Grasping' to tear apart a weak point in the formation's operation!"

Just like that, while Chen Ku was waiting, he discovered a gap where the runes were running underground with his heavy eyes. Two big hands suddenly poked out of his mind and tore it away suddenly!

Stab!

His big hand directly opened a small gap, and Chen Ku saw the opportunity and got in.

After entering.

Chen Ku secretly said:

"This is underground, so it doesn't attract much attention. If you enter from the sky, you can clearly see everything in the city."

After coming in from the formation.

Chen Ku's body pushed open the ground in front of a certain house, but as soon as he showed his head, he heard the sound of "chanting sutras and chanting" coming from every house in the city, and the number of people was far more than there should be in the city. There are between 30,000 and 50,000 people, and it is estimated that there are around 100,000 people.

I can’t help but feel awe:

"This Ping An Dao has also brought in the people from the countryside. It really treats the people as a 'human mine' for spiritual practice to squeeze out incense. It's so late, and you still have to chant sutras and chant mantras?"

Unfortunately, my arms are not thick enough now, so I can only try my best to save some people close to me from the prison.

Standing in the yard, he looked around to determine the direction and said to himself: "This is the east of the city. Not far away is Chai Xiaoguan's home. I'll ask him first!"

Not long after, they arrived at Chai Tiangui's house.

As soon as he entered the house, Chen Ku saw that the house had become more than ten times dilapidated in just three or four days. He smelled the smell and found Chai Tiangui and found him in the hall. Looking further, he saw that many of the decorations in the hall were gone. .

At this moment, Chai Tiangui's family gathered in the hall, chanting the divine mantra of Ping An Dao, and the power of incense was constantly generated from their bodies.

"Chai Xiaoguan!"

Chen Ku's voice immediately woke up Chai Tiangui. When he saw Chen Ku standing outside the door in Tsing Yi, he couldn't help but wipe his eyes and murmured:

"Am I stupid for chanting a mantra? I actually saw Brother Chen?"

Chen Ku walked into the door and saw that Chai Tiangui's family had been drained of energy due to constant chanting. Their eye sockets were sunken, their skin was sallow, and they had all lost a lot of weight. He came to Chai Tiangui softly and said:

"I am Chen Ku, Brother Chai!"

Chai Tiangui was excited, feeling the aura of the living person in front of him, and said in disbelief: "Brother Chen, is it really you? You... weren't you already... on the night when the city was broken... how could you..."

Chen Ku said: "I came back just to rescue Brother Chai. You can leave this hell on earth. It's just up to you whether Brother Chai is willing."

When Chai Tiangui heard this, he was so excited that he said: "This? Are you serious? I am willing, of course I am!"

He is willing to leave this hell on earth.

"Of course, not only you, but also your family, no matter how many of them, I can take you away." Chen Ku comforted Chai Tiangui.

Chai Tiangui was in tears, and everyone in the Chai family was also surprised and crying.

"Then quickly go pick up the gold and silver, and I will take you away."

Hearing this, Chai Tiangui quickly asked his wife and daughter to clean up. In the blink of an eye, after just a few turns, several women walked out holding several small boxes.

Chen Ku comforted him: "Don't be anxious, you can take your time to pack up. After all, after leaving Baojiao County, you will have to live a better life and prepare more things for your future life."

Unexpectedly, the women's eyes turned red and they started sobbing softly.

Chai Tiangui also said with red eyes, "No more, that's all that's left."

"No more? Brother Chai, with such a big business, how could you..." Chen Ku couldn't believe it.

Chai Tiangui said with a sad smile: "On the second day after the demon entered the city, those demon soldiers began to search the whole city. As long as they were rich households with money and food at home, no one could escape. All their homes were ransacked, and only these scraps of silver and clothes were , it’s still the money saved by several concubines.”

Chen Ku sighed and said no more, "It will get better in the future. I will take you away first."

Chai Tiangui nodded with tears in his eyes.

Then Chen Ku flicked his sleeves, and all the dozens of men, women, and children in the room fell asleep under his mental hypnosis control. Then he summoned the Xiawang Realm and collected them all.

Although the rescuers were all close friends, the existence of the Xiawang Realm was still Chen Ku's biggest secret. He had no choice but to let everyone sleep.

On the other hand, Chen Ku went to Tongwen Museum again and woke up Jiang Shaoyou and his family late at night. Facing Chen Ku's intention, Jiang Shaoyou was also ecstatic and hurriedly ordered the family to follow Chen Ku's same tactics. , sleeping in the Xiawang Realm.

In this way, Chen Ku used the same method to place Wu Gui's family, Li Jiyang's grandfather and grandson all in his iron shop in the Xiawang Realm.

Finally, he used the Baili Tracking Technique to find traces of his brother-in-law.

"Huh? Really still alive..."

Chen Ku looked at the location where his brother-in-law's breath was, and it was a prison cell of the county government.

Something moved in my heart.

He fled towards the cell, then turned into a little bee and got into the cell.

However, they saw that Li Yuancheng and others were locked in the same cell at this time, and Chen Ku also recognized Wang Yixian, the chief arrester of the third squad, in this cell.

However, when Chen Ku approached Li Yuancheng, he was shocked to find that one of his brother-in-law's arms was missing, his face looked like a tuberculosis ghost, and he was slumped in the corner.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, wake up!"

Li Yuancheng opened his eyes in a daze, puzzled: "What is this sound?"

"Brother-in-law, I am Chen Ku, and I am here to save you!"

Chen Ku turned into a little bee and spoke in Li Yuancheng's ear, saying:

"Just be quiet and don't talk. I'll rescue you right now."

Li Yuancheng was shocked.

Because he found that the person speaking in his ear was actually a bee, and it was also the voice of his brother-in-law.

However, she didn't wait for any other reaction from him.

call out!

There was a vague flash of white light, and Li Yuancheng disappeared from the cell.

After rescuing my brother-in-law.

Chen Ku left the cell and flew to the sky. He took another look at Baojiao City in his sight, sighed in his heart and said:

"I hope that the imperial court can regain its lost ground as soon as possible, and that I and everyone will be able to come back one day."

The heartfelt end.

He escaped into the ground again, and used his old tricks to tear open a gap in the ground with his spiritual grapple, and ducked out.

However,

But just when Chen Kugang escaped from the incense golden light array, he tore the formation apart twice in a row, and finally the two guardian gods of Ping An Dao at the source of the incense array sensed something was wrong at the same time.

moment,

Chen Ku looked back and saw with his double eyes that in the Chenghuang Temple in Baojiao County, there were two golden gods, each three feet and six feet tall. He let out a cold snort and slapped a palm towards them at the same time!

"Seven Realms!!"

As someone who had already witnessed the methods of many masters of the Seventh Realm, especially when there was still a leader of the Seventh Realm of Ping An Dao imprisoned in the Xia King Realm at this moment, he recognized the two golden gods at a glance. A monk in a state of peace.

Crackling!

In an instant, Chen Ku used the Lightning Walk without hesitation and escaped three or four miles underground in one breath.

boom!

He felt like an earthquake behind his ears, and his two palms fell, shaking the city.

He dodged these two moves and looked back with a pale face:

"Those two gods should be the 'Emperor Yuanling' and the 'Heaven Master' among the four protector gods. How come... they shouldn't be in the same six realms as Piao Gao Missionary and Vacuum Patriarch. Why? Is it possible that it will become the Seventh Realm in just a few days..."

He escaped seven or eight miles away, then looked at the incense that was so rich and substantial at the City God's Temple in the city, took a breath of air, and said:

"This Shinto practice is really terrifying. As long as you have enough power of incense and faith, your realm will rise slowly. In the true sense, you can 'create a god in a day'..."

The two guardian gods have entered the country like this within three or four days. What if the arrival they prepared for the so-called "God of Yellow Sky" really summoned the evil god from outside the territory?

Under the long-term nourishment of the incense faith of about 100,000 people, what kind of realm of the God of Yellow Sky will appear?

"Never mind it, leave it to the Dynasty to deal with the headache!"

Chen Ku watched the two golden-armored gods not catch up, but just run away.

And in Baojiao County.

In the City God Temple, as the new "temple" in the city at the moment, Ma Tianlin frowned, watching the two gods beside him take action, and asked:

"Who broke into the formation?"

"Someone escaped from the city and was able to tear the golden light formation apart. He must be at least six or seven realms strong." A golden-armored god said in a deep voice.

"This is a good thing. There were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Baojiao County before. Many guys in the sixth and seventh realms were trapped in it. If they were not asked to leave, there would always be gunpowder buried around them." Ma Tianlin said slowly.

Another golden-armored deity looked towards Liangjie Mountain and said, "According to the news sent back yesterday, the Xia Wang's underground palace disappeared underground, and Piao Gao and the leader are missing, which is very worrying."

"It doesn't matter. As long as the God of Huang Tian comes, the leader can be found!"

…………

After Chen Ku led his men out of Baojiao City, he traveled overnight. With his speed, he finally arrived at Qiulong Mansion at dawn.

From a distance.

The wall of Qiulong Mansion is like a giant beast crawling on the ground. It was already dawn, and people had begun to enter and exit the city gate, but the defense was unprecedentedly strict, with more than a hundred armored soldiers stationed.

Chen Ku estimated that going directly into the city would be troublesome, so he sniffed the smell and looked for the people of Yaowang Hall in Qiulong Mansion. After finding the target,

He escaped underground and came to a house in Qiulong Mansion. Inside the house were his family, his mother, sister-in-law, and Hu Zi.

This house was purchased by Yaowangtang for their family.

Chen Ku first sent the relatives and friends of Baojiao County out of Xiawang Realm, arranged them in the yard, and then woke them up one by one.

"Where is this?" Chai Tiangui, Jiang Shaoyou and others woke up and rubbed their eyes.

"Brother?! Did you really rescue me from prison?" Li Yuancheng looked at the yard and looked at Chen Ku in disbelief.

At this time.

The sister-in-law, eldest sister, and mother in the house were also woken up, especially the eldest sister Chen Tian, ​​who recognized the voice of her husband outside almost instantly, hurriedly put on her clothes, and came to the yard.

When she saw Li Yuancheng in prison uniform in the yard, she excitedly rushed over: "Husband!"

Li Yuancheng also looked at his wife absent-mindedly.

As a result, Chen Tian suddenly discovered that her husband had a broken arm. Her eyes were burning and she was so excited and frightened that she couldn't speak.

"Thanks to Erlang, I can still live. It's a blessing." Li Yuancheng seemed to have survived a disaster: "One arm, it's gone."

Chen Ku walked towards his family at this time and explained the people in the yard to them, saying: "These are all my friends in the city. Now I rescued them from the city and they will rest in our house temporarily!"

At this time, the eldest sister and the old mother were immersed in the joy of Chen Ku and Li Yuancheng's return. Moreover, Chen Ku was the head of the family, so of course, what he said was what he said.

After Chen Ku finished talking to his family, he also looked at Chai Tiangui, Jiang Shaoyou and others, bowed to them, and said seriously:

"Young Master Chai, Senior Brother Jiang, you can rest and settle here for the next two days. Here are five thousand taels of silver notes..."

Although Chen Ku didn't have much money on him now, he could still take out eight thousand taels.

When Chai Tiangui and Jiang Shaoyou saw Chen Ku take out two large silver notes, they quickly refused and said, "No, no... How can I still ask you..." Chen Ku said seriously: "I know that your homes have been ransacked by the demon soldiers, so whether you two want to make a comeback in Qiulong Mansion or rent a house to settle down, you will need money. Please don't refuse. This is my brother's intention." Chai Tiangui's eyes were sore. He was so wealthy back then that he never had to worry about making money every day. He only worried about how to spend money. It was not until the family property left by his ancestors was taken away by the demons that he realized how much he needed money. In the past, he would not even look at these five thousand taels if they fell on the ground. Now, it is enough for his family of dozens of people to live happily in Qiulong Mansion for the rest of their lives. Jiang Shaoyou took a deep breath and said, "Brother Chen, I won't be polite with you. Just consider this money as a loan from our Jiang family. You know that our family is also engaged in business. This ability to make a living will never be useless. It won't be long before I can pay you back!"

Chen Ku smiled and said, "I believe it."

After that, he handed two large silver bills to Chai Tiangui and Jiang Shaoyou respectively.

Chai Tiangui accepted them with embarrassment.

Finally, Chen Ku looked at Wu Gui and Li Jiyang, grandfather and grandson, and smiled, "You are still following me, but it's just that we have changed from the Medicine King Hall in Baojiao County to the Three Emperors Patriarch Association in Qiulong Mansion. If I have a bite to eat, you will have a bite to eat."

Chai Tiangui looked at this scene, his heart and eyes were sour. He didn't expect that he could really meet such a person in this life.

The so-called true friendship is revealed in times of adversity, and this is it. (End of this chapter)
