People sit in the southern sky and watch the ages

Chapter 208 Chudang River and Lu Hengjiang

"Hey, my Tong Niang, why did you invite this disaster star here? If I knew you invited him, I should avoid it."

Guilao's voice was transmitted to Tongniang secretly.

Tong Niang smiled, "Can some things be avoided?"

She ignored Gui Lao's complaints, pointed to the old man with white hair and said, "This is Master Lan Song."

Li Changqing's eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands and said, "I just want to find some good-looking pine needles. If I knew where the real person lived, I would definitely visit them often."

The smirk that Reverend Lansong wanted to force stopped on his face, and he directly pulled off a handful of snow-white white hair. After detaching from Reverend Lansong's body, these white hairs turned into green pine needles entwined with wind and mist.

He hurriedly said, "Pindao happens to have extra pine needles here, so there's no need for fellow daoists to make an extra trip."

He waved his sleeves and passed the pine needles to Li Changqing's seat.

Li Changqing took the pine needles, and said a little embarrassedly, "How embarrassing, I didn't bring anything for trading today, why don't you come to give gifts another day?"

Reverend Lansong waved his hands again and again, "I am lucky enough to meet fellow daoist today, how dare you let fellow daoist come to give gifts to you again, you are trying to break my old bones."

Li Changqing didn't continue to tease Master Lansong, he turned his head to look at the young man who had just spoken.

The young man looked at Li Changqing, and there was a fatal illusion that came out when he was young, and when he encountered a tiger and leopard in the mountains, it was obvious that the other party was two realms lower than himself, and he was obviously not wrong.

But seeing a bunch of distorted and inhuman karma staring at him, the young man still couldn't help feeling frightened.

Tong Niang hurriedly slowed down the scene, she explained, "Master Changqing, Kong Ming and Qingluan are brothers and sisters, just now Kong Ming was also anxious to protect his sister, so don't worry about it, Daoist Master."

Li Changqing smiled slightly, "How could it be?"

The few people met for the first time, and because they were afraid of Li Changqing's terrible fate, the banquet was not very lively, but looked a little dry. Li Changqing also saw the discomfort of the few people.

Especially Guilao and Lansong, who felt like sitting on pins and needles, wanted to get up and say goodbye several times. If Jiunan didn't say that it was too fake to go to the toilet, Li Changqing estimated that the two of them would have stayed in the toilet today.

He drank a few glasses of wine and got up to say goodbye.

Guilao and Master Lansong hurriedly toasted each other off, and after Li Changqing left the highest point of Wangjiang Tower, they gave Tongniang a complicated look, and they left in two streamers.

Kong Ming looked at Tong Niang with some puzzlement, "Aunt Tong, that Taoist is lifeless and entangled in karma, so it's not a bad luck, why did you invite him?"

Because the siblings were fostered by Tong Niang when they were young, they were called Aunt Tong.

With a wave of her hand, Tong Niang opened a hole in the purple mansion on the top floor, blowing in the wet sea breeze. She looked towards the direction of the East China Sea and sighed, "Although he is entangled in karma and lifeless, why am I not? Naturally, I feel a little sympathetic to each other." .”

Hearing Tongniang's words, Kong Ming slapped the table, and the vitality behind him surged, and naturally condensed into crimson flames, blue frost, blue precious trees, thick mountains, and blazing soldiers. The five colors of blue, white, red, black, and yellow are like thousands of needles, which make people feel like being stabbed in the back.

"Then if Hailong Palace dares to touch Aunt Tong, do you really think that there is no one in our Hundred Thousand Clouds?"

Although Qingluan on the side was young, she also echoed, "That's right, Aunt Tong, you have the Phoenix Nanming Lihuo conceived, and I was born with the luck of the Phoenix clan. Does the Sea Dragon Palace want to stir up disputes between the two clans?"

Tong Niang shook her head, "Do you know how long I've been trapped in the fourth floor?"

Qingluan and Kong Ming were taken aback for a moment, they only remembered that when they were born, Aunt Tong was already the real person of Jiunan in the fourth floor, and they heard from the elders in the clan that Aunt Tong had raised at least three generations of the Feng clan.

Tong Niang smiled slightly, "Our spiritual root clan is born with a long lifespan. Even if we don't become immortals, we can only live for thousands of years. I was born with a chance, and I entrusted Nanming to be born from the fire when the phoenix built its nest."

"You must know that Longkoudu was still a country at that time. I watched human beings migrate from Mount Tai and build cities here. Generation after generation, people get old, sick and die, and come back again and again. It has been 3000 years now."

"3000 years?" Kong Ming was a little surprised. It stands to reason that Aunt Tong is a spiritual root transformed form. She got Nanming Lihuo, and her talent is higher than them. Why hasn't she passed the Nine Difficulties in 3000 years?

Tong Niang also saw Kong Ming's doubts, she said with a smile, "Nine difficulties are hard to say, easy to say is not easy, all luck is gone, and catastrophe is approaching, so I want to make up for the world, break away from the small self, and achieve the big self." .”

"In the past few years, although my luck has all disappeared, I have always had the luck of the phoenix legacy. Therefore, even if the world changed drastically, I survived by relying on Nanming Lihuo's rebirth ability."

"But this time is different. This time is my catastrophe, but also my opportunity."

She looked at the bustling Longkou Ferry, looked at the bleak Lihua Lane, and saw the Town God's Temple from Jingyuetan. Is nothing to be annihilated and become the ashes of history?"

"Human beings are not grass and trees, so how can they be ruthless? Confucianists are wrong. We grass and trees are more affectionate than humans."

······
In the Yamen of Longkoudu County, officials are hurrying, their faces are covered with frost. With the news from all over the place, there is a posture that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full.

The sky outside was dim due to overcast clouds, and incense candles were lit on the main hall. The county lord just felt that the lights were a little dim, and wanted to order the left and right to change the candles, only then did he find the tall figure standing in front of him.

He was shocked, "Why are you here!"

Then he glanced at the two sides. He didn't know when the figures on the left and right disappeared. He regained his composure, his eyes were solemn, and his tone was dissatisfied. In the government office, aren't you afraid of being seen by others?"

The visitor sat down cross-legged, and the blocked candlelight became brighter again, "So what if I'm seen? As the leader of the No. [-] gang in Longkoudu, it's normal to see the county lord."

"Haihe Gang?" Chu Danghe sneered and looked at Lu Hengjiang in front of him, "Your hand is empty but real, and real is false. You can hide it really well. Who would have thought that Longkoudu was originally arrogant and domineering, but Lu Hengjiang, who walked on the ground? Master, you actually have such deep thoughts."

"That idiot Lu Zhenguan is far worse than his brother. He seems to have snatched your Haihe gang, but how many arrangements have you completed through him?"

Lu Hengjiang smiled without saying a word.

Chu Danghe's eyes lingered on Lu Hengjiang's face for a while, "Sometimes, I wonder what is hidden under your face, so tell me, what's the matter with you coming to me this time?"

Lu Hengjiang said with a smile, "Dragon Palace wants to connect with the county lord through me."

Chu Danghe's eyes were shining brightly, and the emotions and calculations in his heart were as turbulent as the waves of the East China Sea. His voice became hoarse because of nervousness, hesitation, fear, and excitement, "I can't help Hailong Palace break through Longkoudu from the inside. "

Lu Hengjiang was not surprised, he nodded, "It's natural, the Longkoudu county seal is both a Taoist and a bondage, the county lord is limited by the county seal, of course it is impossible to betray Longkoudu..."

"And I'm here to help the county lord do this."

Lu Hengjiang's voice became mysterious, the candles flickered in front of his eyes, and layers of shadows rushed towards the Lingtai of Chudang River like an undercurrent, "For the government, you can't enter the second floor, but now the catastrophe is approaching, the world is in turmoil, and the Great Zhou , the five surnames in the south of the Yangtze River, the Yin Luo Tianzi, the Sea Dragon Palace, and even the ghost monsters, all major forces are entangled with each other, and it has evolved into the current catastrophe in the world."

"And the county lord thinks that he, a small first floor, can survive such a catastrophe? Or that the county lord, as the first floor, forcibly urged Longkou to pass the official seal, after this tide , how many Yangshou are available?"

Lu Hengjiang stared at Chu Danghe's gray temples and said with a smile.

Chu Danghe turned his head to look at the dancing candle, which was like a mirror, reflecting his haggard appearance.

Confucianism itself does not emphasize the practice of life and death, so even if you enter the first floor, your spirit is just a little better than ordinary people.

Chu Danghe studied hard for [-] years and was an official for [-] years before he achieved his current position.

If there is no chaos in the world, he can wait for promotion with peace of mind and leave behind the reputation of being an official.

But it is different now, now that the catastrophe is approaching, he needs to frequently urge Longkoudu official seal to suppress a place, although this official seal brings him the power of the tyrannical Purple Mansion, but the person in the first floor borrows power far beyond his own , it is impossible without a little backlash.

Especially in the following tide, if Hailong Palace is really determined to take Longkoudu, even if he is not killed by the monks of Zifu, he will be swallowed alive by the official seal.

In the illusory spirit, the official seal on his altar seemed to turn into a huge black hole, swallowing towards him.

"No!"

Chu Danghe turned pale with shock, Lu Hengjiang grabbed Chu Danghe's hand and pulled him out of his evil thoughts, "Don't worry, Mr. County Venerable, it's not that you are sorry for Longkoudu, but that Longkoudu is sorry for you, Mr. County Venerable!" what."

"Even if you gave everything for this place, what can you get? The position of the city god? Don't even think about it. Even after the death of the county lord, the biggest place for the soul is to be swallowed by the county seal and left for the next county lord."

"This is the Taoism."

With an exclamation in his tone, he used facts to amplify Chu Danghe's inner fear.

Looking at Chu Danghe who had become more and more suspicious, Lu Hengjiang suddenly asked with a smile, "My lord, are the fragments of the City God's domain still usable?"

Hearing the fragments of Chenghuang's domain, Chu Danghe's expression changed. The panic, worry, fear, and other emotions just now disappeared without a trace. Clay sculpture.

Lu Hengjiang clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Master Chu's acting skills just now have also made me admire. If I hadn't known that Master Chu absorbed a fragment of the City God's Law and made a choice, I'm afraid I would also be impressed by Master Chu's expression just now." I was tricked into thinking that Mr. Chu is nothing more than mediocre."

"Confucianism pays attention to cultivating the mind. If I don't even know what I want, I, Chu Danghe, am not qualified to be a chief official."

Chu Danghe said indifferently, and then asked indifferently, "How did you know that I got a piece of City God's Law?"

"Xiao Cui?"

He shook his head slightly, "No, Xiao Cui was originally used by me to dispel your guard. I was very careful about her. She is a little second floor monster, and she absolutely doesn't know about the City God's Domain."

Suddenly the hall became darker, and the power of the thick veins turned into a giant dragon claw, hidden under the hall, ready to strike at any time, killing him with one blow.

Feeling the change in the hall, Lu Hengjiang said indifferently, "There is no need for this temptation. The question now is, which side does Master Chu want to unite with? The Yinluo Emperor? The Nether Demon? Or the Sea Dragon Palace?"

Chu Danghe's expression remained unchanged, "Then why can't I continue to sit firmly as the Longkoudu County Venerable?"

Lu Hengjiang smiled, "The city god is the god of the underworld, how can Master Chu be the order of the yang world at the same time?"

"Longkoudu county lord, luck depends on the five surnames, Ziwei dragon energy depends on the big Zhou, you are caught between the two, neither side will trust you, and there is such a catastrophe coming, Master Chu sits firmly Where is your honor?"

Chu Danghe looked deeply, waved his sleeves, dissipated the power of the earth veins, and sighed, "It's not that I bear the world, but the world bears me. It's fate."

He has a firm heart. He studied hard in the cold window back then, and from a down-and-out scholar to his current position, the hardships he experienced in the middle are not humane.

Naturally, it is even more impossible for him to give up everything in front of him.

Chu Danghe cupped his hands to Lu Hengjiang and said, "Which side do you think I should take refuge in?"

Lu Hengjiang smiled slightly, "The first thing to get rid of is the ghost demons. They can't give you the position of righteous gods. At most, they can only convert you into the genus of demons. On the contrary, you will lose your greatest support, and you will be a mermaid in the future."

"As for Emperor Wei Wen of the Yin Luo Emperor, although he seems to be good, but the other party hides from the netherworld and has the civil and military assistance of the Manchu dynasty. your honor."

"Dragon Palace is indeed a good choice. Although they stir up the tide, the apparent purpose is to break through Longkou Ferry, but in fact they just want to seize the luck of humanity."

"So they won't kill innocent people indiscriminately like ordinary monsters, and at the same time need the help of human gods to govern one side, and now Longkoudu has the vital thing of Longmen, I think Master Chu has already made a choice, It's just that I haven't found the right time to contact Dragon Palace, so I came here next day."

Chu Danghe stared at the person in front of him for a long time, and laughed, "It's a pity that Chief Lu is so eloquent that he doesn't join the Strategist. I have seen Shang Shuwen, the descendant of the Shang family. Compared with Chief Lu, he is just an idiot."

Lu Hengjiang looked at Chu Danghe and also smiled without saying a word.

Chu Danghe really had a deep scheming mind, and it was difficult for him to defeat his mind with the method of Taoism, but when he got the city god's remnant domain and didn't restrain his inner greed, everything was already doomed.

In this world, who else knows Longkoudu Chenghuang's law better than himself?

Lu Hengjiang looked outside the county government office, towards the direction of Li's mansion catching monsters, and smiled slightly, it's time to harvest.
