Chapter 368 The Three Sages of the Demon Country (Two in One)

Yong'an 17th year, early July.

It has been nearly five months since the sharp drop in Lingzhou stocks.

With a series of actions by the Yunyang Chamber of Commerce, more and more refugees have been resettled, and more and more wasteland has been reclaimed.

The cotton and cotton spinning market was unprecedentedly prosperous, and the demand for workers also increased significantly. More farmers began to switch to cotton, and more people entered the factory to work.

The increase in the number of migrant workers has led to the development of a series of surrounding industries.

But the development of the Yunyang Chamber of Commerce is not entirely harmless.

The first to be impacted were some original family workshops.

Because the cost and output cannot be compared with factories, they are quickly eliminated and their income drops sharply.

As a result, a series of contradictions broke out, and even handicraftsmen stormed factories and smashed looms.

And with the increase in the area of ​​cotton fields and the decrease in the area of ​​cultivated fields in the whole prefecture, the price of food has gradually begun to rise...

However, Chu Qiguang has already prepared for these issues. He knows that the industrial revolution and industrial upgrading have never been warm and affectionate.

On the contrary, every time it will be accompanied by the elimination of a large number of traditional industries, causing many people to lose their original income and jobs.

Chu Qiguang continued to speed up the development of the chamber of commerce, manning land in Lingzhou, expanding the scale of the arms chamber of commerce, and expanding the size of the factory... Constantly creating new jobs, increasing the income of ordinary people, and providing loans...

Just as the Yunyang Chamber of Commerce was booming, bringing countless people in Lingzhou to a different future, an undercurrent suddenly surged in the underground world of Lingzhou.

……

The city of Beiyue Prefecture.

With a loud bang, the gate of the government office was smashed into pieces.

The prefect Xue Chengdao flew out with the shattered gate, and rolled on the ground for a distance of several meters before barely stopping.

The magistrate also presided over the martial arts of Chu Qiguang's session before, and commented on the martial arts of Chu Qiguang and Jiang Longyu.

But at this moment, his face was covered with blood, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were ragged, and his body was still covered with large pieces of floating dirt, so he didn't have the calmness of the past.

As for the push officials, yamen servants, and courtyard guards under him, they have long since died or fled, and the entire government office is already in a mess.

He raised his head and looked at the strong figure slowly approaching, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, the other party fell from the sky.

Gang Qi exploded all over his body, and his figure was as fast as lightning and thunder, and he had killed the entire government office in the blink of an eye.

Xue Chengdao, a martial arts scholar, also failed to block the opponent's three moves and two moves. At this moment, he was beaten to the point of burning inside and blood.

In the end, he was sent flying from the main hall to the door with a palm.

Ying Yao looked at Xue Chengdao who was half kneeling on the ground, his eyes were full of killing intent, and he said in Chinese with a strange tone: "Where is Hou Xianglong?"

Xue Chengdao gritted his teeth and said, "Monster, do you dare to attack the government office? Assault and kill court officials?! Even if the world ends, don't even think about running away..."

A hint of impatience flashed in the eagle demon's eyes. He came from a far-away western country, and he had no awe of the Han court at all, and even more contempt for human beings from head to toe.

After all, in his hometown, people are slaves on the same level as rat demons and rabbit demons.

Therefore, Xue Chengdao's words were completely like a chicken talking to a duck to him.

I saw the Ying Yao's figure flashed, and he had already grabbed Xue Chengdao and crashed into the outer wall of the government office.

Accompanied by the continuous sound of rumbling impacts, courtyard walls, houses, and courtyards collapsed one after another.

Large swaths of smoke rose up with the impact, and various exclamations and screams came out again and again.

Not long after, hundreds of households from the nearby Zhenma Division arrived with a team, and all they saw were ruins, and the magistrate Xue Chengdao was even dead.

"Lawless! Absolutely lawless..."

……

Inside the Thousand Households Office of the Magic Division in Lingzhou Town.

There are people in a hurry everywhere.

Looking at the map of Lingzhou in front of him, Yang Ling frowned, his face sinking like water.

Suddenly the door was pushed open, and Liu Fangyi, a hundred households of Tianqu Mansion, came in: "The Beiyue Mansion's office was also attacked, the magistrate Xue Chengdao was beaten to death by the bird demon, and his body was not intact. "

Yang Ling pursed his lips and drew a cross on the map, and there were already five similar crosses.

Liu Fangyi said: "The bird demon is very powerful in martial arts, and it flies without a trace. We can't catch up or surround it at all."

"If this continues, the entire Lingzhou Town Magic Division will lose all face."

Yang Ling sighed: "Mr. Zhong took many experts from the institute to Yunzhongjun Town. He is negotiating with the two martial gods. It is impossible for him to come back just because of this bird demon."

"And once the news leaks out, not only will we lose face, but we may also be underestimated by Nine Sides, which will affect Mr. Zhong's overall situation."

"The other party has simply calculated the emptiness of our strength at the moment."

Liu Fangyi said: "Then we must ask the Celestial Master for help."

Although the relationship between Zhenmasi and Tianshijiao is not very good, in his opinion, in Lingzhou today, only the high-level officials of Tianshijiao who are in charge of a large number of talismans can steadily suppress this eagle demon.

Yang Ling nodded: "You go to Dao Gangsi, and I'll talk to Chu Qianhu."

Since Chu Qiguang received the false title of Qianhu, he was often called Chu Qianhu by the people in Zhenmagic Division, and basically no one called him a real job.

After a while, Yang Ling saw Chu Qiguang and told him about the situation.

While looking at the book in his hand, Chu Qiguang said calmly: "I have sent someone to help inquire about the eagle demon, but the other party can fly, so it is better to find a person than a bird."

Yang Ling's eyes moved slightly: "Hou Xianglong?"

Chu Qiguang said: "Since the opponent's target is Hou Xianglong, you might as well find a way to find Hou Xianglong and wait for the rabbit."

After Yang Ling nodded, he said again: "The origin of that bird demon is unknown. His martial arts are completely different from the schools of the Central Plains, and he can fly to escape. I'm afraid I will ask you to take a shot at that time."

Chu Qiguang flipped a page of the book in his hand, and said casually: "Okay, I will do it."

"I'm also curious about the origin of this bird demon."

……

Inside a ruined temple outside Beiyue Mansion's Fucheng.

The eagle demon that was being looked for by the magician of Lingzhou town was here,

He sat cross-legged, his face was calm and motionless, as if he was waiting for something.

As the sun gradually set in the west, gusts of wind blew in, and two more figures descended from the sky and stepped into the gate of the ruined temple.

It turned out to be two eagle demons again.

The first one looked like an alien woman, with white skin, high nose bridge, deep eyes, long hair slightly curly, and pure white feathers on the wings behind her.

The other man looked like a bald man with dark skin, small eyes, and strong muscles like pieces of marble sculptures. With a light flap of black wings, all the garbage in the ruined temple was blown away.

The clothes on both of them wrap the upper and lower body like robes and skirts, but reveal the position of the navel, arms, and shoulders, which is very different from the Central Plains style.

The leading woman had a string of crystal-clear rosary beads hanging around her neck, and she spoke in a foreign language: "Katie, what's going on?"

The eagle demon called Katie lowered his head and said with shame on his face: "I failed to kill Hou Xianglong on the spot. The other party has a vague foresight ability, and he fled all the way afterwards. I have completely lost track of him."

The strong man on the side said angrily: "Even a bastard can escape from you, you have failed the trust of the Holy One."

The origin of these three eagle demons is the same as that of Chu Qiguang's Jinji, and they come from a country called Dazhu in the far west.

Dazhu is ruled by three-headed demon kings, known as the Three Sages.

The whole country is divided into different levels according to the races of lions, tigers, elephants, eagles, pigs, cattle, etc.

These three eagle demons belong to the upper class nobles in Dazhu.

The female eagle demon headed by her is named Qiao Zina, and she has the blood of the "Tiansheng" among the three saints of Dazhu, and her status is the most noble among the three demons.

It is unknown how many human slaves there are in their family.

And all the way from the extreme west to the Central Plains, the big man is also the only country they encounter that is ruled by one person.

Therefore, in their view, the Central Plains is full of cheap people, and it is simply a miasma.

The woman waved her hand: "Okay, Guha, the most urgent task is to complete the task entrusted to us by the Holy One. Our side is over, and I will come to help you next time."

The eagle demon named Katie was surprised: "Your task has been completed?"

The strong man known as Guha said proudly: "We have found the clues of the "Star Book"..."

"Okay." Chozna stopped Guha from continuing, "I'm here to report to the Holy Patriarch and seek his guidance."

"The Holy Ancestor will calculate Hou Xianglong's position and give us the power to defeat our opponents..."

Katie and Guha knelt aside and saw Jozna place a strange triangular incense burner on which many human figures with wings were drawn.

If Chu Qiguang were here, he would find that this incense burner was very similar to Wuwei Sect's sacrificial vessel.

Then Jozna lit the censer, dancing and jumping, showing a mysterious and ancient temperament...

Jozna crushed a rosary on her neck, and the green smoke in the incense burner instantly turned into a mysterious figure.

This rosary is a treasure bestowed by the Heavenly Sage among the three great sages of Dazhu.

Each rosary is condensed by Tiansheng with Taoism, and it can transmit information and power even thousands of miles away.

As the blood descendant of the other party, Jozna can perfectly display the power of the rosary.

Not long after, three figures soared into the sky and flew towards the direction of Tianqu Mansion.

……

Tianqu Mansion Taoist Temple.

Hou Xianglong looked at Dao Gang Si Dade, Wang Xi, and Wang Zhenren in front of him.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hou Xianglong sighed: "The eagle demon is definitely not from the Central Plains, but probably from a certain country in the Western Regions, and I don't know why it wants to hunt me down."

Wang Xi said: "Daoist Xuanyuan protects all believers, no matter what evildoers they are, you can stay in the temple with peace of mind."

Hou Xianglong reminded: "Also, I'm worried that Chu Qiguang from Zhenmagic Division will be in collusion with that eagle demon, so please don't contact Zhenmagic Division, Master Wang."

"Don't worry, I've already dealt with Liu Baihu of Zhenmosi, they won't know you're here."

Wang Xi stroked his beard. The relationship between Tianshijiao and Zhenmagus has never been very good. It is of course no problem to ask him not to inform Zhenmagus.

'But Chu Qiguang colluded with the eagle demon? "Wang Xi frowned, thinking: "Chu Qiguang can't be related to the eagle demon..."

Suddenly, Hou Xianglong felt a bad feeling in his heart. He knew that his spiritual sense had played a role again.

On the way of escape, his spiritual sense and divination skills helped a lot, and he trusted his mysterious feeling more and more.

There was a change in his heart at this moment, and he immediately began to calculate again.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Wang Xi said loudly, "Come in."

But no one answered, only the knocking on the door continued.

Wang Xi frowned, a look of wariness flashed in his eyes, and he got up and walked to the door.

Hou Xianglong, who was doing fortune-telling beside him, said in a daze: "Auspicious appearance? Why is it clearly auspicious, but I feel..."

The feeling of more and more danger kept rushing to his heart.

Goosebumps on Hou Xianglong's body kept popping out, and he felt a dangerous breath staring at his throat like a knife.

Wang Xi opened the door, but found that there was no one there, and he had already pinched a piece of talisman paper in his hand.

Hou Xianglong calculated the results over and over again, but found that everything was auspicious, but the fear in his heart became deeper and deeper.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at his own face in the bronze mirror.

He murmured: "The evil star is shining brightly, and the disaster is in full swing. This face clearly shows that death is imminent... Is this someone who is high-spirited to kill me and cover up the secret of heaven?"

Hou Xianglong immediately turned his head and shouted: "Someone is covering the sky!"

Wang Xi raised his brows: "It's so demonic."

hum!
Outside the house, Wang Xi pinched the Dao Jue with one hand, and the talisman in the other hand automatically, and the golden light seemed to turn into heavenly palaces and shrines around him.

Compared with the golden light inspired by Chu Qiguang and the golden armor inspired by Zhang Fengyun, it is obvious that Wang Xi's application of talisman paper is more exquisite and powerful.

In the darkness, a fair-skinned, noble-looking foreign woman slowly came out.

She looked at Wang Xi expressionlessly, as if looking at a pig-dog-like animal.

But Wang Xi's eyes were full of surprise and uncertainty. He has been subduing demons all his life...but he has never seen such a strong demonic aura and killing intent: "How many murders did this monster...do?"How many people did they eat? '

Jozna said lightly: "My name is Jozna, I come from the Shivaji family in Dazhu, and I have the blood of the Holy One on my body."

"Bitch, you are qualified to be my food."

After all, Jozna had crushed a rosary on her neck.

A strange sound came out, and the air around the white rice seemed to be quiet.

"A vacuum is four-dimensional, not vertical or horizontal."

The Taoism that Tiansheng condensed in the rosary burst out instantly.

In a blink of an eye, the wings on Jozna's back had turned into a piece of pure gold, endowed with a trace of power of a powerful person.

She spread her wings behind her back, and Qi Qi seemed to have become her courtier.

Dao Dao Gang Qi tore the night sky, and the whole courtyard was instantly shattered.

The golden light all over Wang Xi's body trembled wildly, and a Dharma protector general rushed to Qiaozna because of the summoning.

The two sides fought instantly, and Jozna's figure turned into a series of phantoms, surrounding the audience with tornadoes.

Wang Xi's heart was shocked: "Pure martial arts will definitely not be able to create such a momentum. Behind this monster is a strong Taoist, but which school of Taoism is this?" '

At the same time, with a bang, the eagle demon named Katie broke through the roof and rushed towards Hou Xianglong.

The eagle demon known as Guha flew in mid-air, holding an arm torn off from nowhere, and said while eating: "People from the Central Plains, the taste is really strange."

And as the sound from here spread out, a large number of Taoist priests in the Taoist temple began to gather.

Guha turned his head and glanced, his wings fluttered, and he swooped towards the crowd.

……

Not long after, on the other side of Tianqu Mansion, Chu Qiguang, who was practicing sword skills, suddenly stopped.

Lulu said out of breath: "The eagle demon has...has three heads! They are attacking the Taoist Temple of Tianqu Mansion!"

Chu Qiguang was slightly surprised: "Attack on the Taoist Temple of Tianqu Mansion? Can't the talisman mastered by Wang Xi not be able to stop it?"

Lulu said with a look of shock: "Those three eagle demons are too powerful, Wang Xi and the others can't beat them!"

　Alas... the cat at home is sick again
