Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chu Pingsheng just smiled slightly and did not answer Zhong Li's question.

Although what Yang Qianhuan sent was not a complete manual of magic array secrets, he had captured the souls of many immortals from Longhu Mountain in the world of Snow Blade. Even though there was a talisman array over there and a magic array over here, and the "technology" over there was not as sophisticated as this one, there were many similarities in the basics. It was not difficult for him to learn from each other and improve his level of arranging array formations.

"Well, let it go! Let Po go!"

Suddenly, a delicate shout came from the front. When they turned around, they saw a little girl from the south with her belly button exposed and her belly button nail shining in the sun standing in front of the moon-shaped door leading to the front yard. She was glaring at the Feng Shui master of the Si Tian Jian with a look of dissatisfaction, caressing A Bao all over, even calling him by a cheesy nickname like "Xiong Xiong".

"Why are you here again?!"

Xu Lingyue regretted it very much. If she had known this would happen, she would have bolted the door after welcoming Chu Caiwei and Zhong Li. But now, this rude southern girl had taken advantage of the opportunity.

Lina ignored her disgust, walked up to Po and said loudly, "Po is mine."

"?????"

Chu Caiwei's mind was full of question marks. She turned to look at Chu Pingsheng: "Is Abao hers?"

Xu Lingyue openly respects the monk, but secretly disss Lina: "Master has such a good temper. If someone else faced this situation, they might have reported her to the police and had her arrested."

Chu Caiwei understood and said with a smile: "Girl, you are too overbearing."

Lina raised her arms to block Po: "Humph, I said it's mine, so it's mine."

"you……"

Chu Caiwei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, thinking that southern barbarians are just southern barbarians, they don't listen to reason at all.

call out.

Just at this moment, two figures landed on the backyard wall. One was wearing a red battle robe and carrying a long silver spear on his back. His facial features were three-dimensional and he looked heroic. The other was wearing a purple gauze skirt and her face was covered with a veil. She had a charming look that bewitched everyone just by looking at her eyebrows.

“Lina, didn’t you say you were very familiar with the Xu family? They were very kind to invite you to their home for dinner, but why do I feel like they don’t welcome you?”

Ye Ji stopped fiddling with her flowers, walked out of the eaves, and showed a defensive posture: "Who are you?"

Chu Pingsheng said: "The Holy Maiden of the Tian Sect, the Flying Swallow Heroine Li Miaozhen."

The Holy Maiden of the Tian Sect? Li Miaozhen?

Zhong Li frowned, thinking, is this the Holy Maiden of the Tian Sect who will have to compete with the Holy Son of the Ren Sect, Chu Yuanzhen, sooner or later? Looking at this murderous aura, she is definitely not someone who is easy to get along with.

Li Miaozhen glanced at the woman in the courtyard and her eyes fell on the monk who was rocking on the recliner with a leisurely look on his face: "The monk who is performing the ceremony of consecrating the Buddha..."

"What's the matter with me?"

"I'm not here to see you. I'm here to see Xu Qian'an."

Chu Pingsheng said: "Ask him to help you investigate the identity and origin of the ghost servant beside you, right?"

Li Miaozhen's expression changed, and Su Su's charming eyes flashed with brilliance.

"What is your relationship with Number One?"

After arriving in the capital, she first met with Taoist Master Jinlian, and also met Lina at his place. However, Taoist Master Jinlian and Lina, who came from southern Xinjiang, were obviously unable to help in investigating Su Su's identity and family information. They could only send a message to No. 1 and ask him to think of a solution.

Unlike the previous situation when she asked for help in public, No. 1 showed her a clear way and asked her to go and ask Xu Qian'an and Xu Yinluo for help, who held the imperial sword and could investigate anyone they wanted.

After knowing this, Lina patted her chest and said that this was not difficult. She said that she and Xu Qian'an were good friends. She also said that the Xu family treated her very well and Xu's second uncle treated her as his own niece. As long as she took charge and helped Su Su investigate her experiences before her death and find out information about her family, it would be a trivial matter, just a drizzle.

It was not until she arrived at Xu's house today that Li Miaozhen was sure that believing Lina's words was a very serious mistake. In addition to being argumentative and sabotaging, this little girl from the Gu clan was also unsophisticated, had no idea of ​​the situation, and was extremely unreliable.

But now the complaints about Lina turned into surprise towards the monk.

She only told Taoist Master Jinlian, Lina and Number One about the purpose of her visit to the capital. Taoist Master Jinlian and Lina lived with her, so it was impossible for them to tell the monk about her purpose of coming to the capital without telling her. So logically, it could only be Number One who spoke too much.

“A very close relationship.”

Chu Pingsheng's playful words attracted Lina's attention, and she couldn't help but look surprised: "Do you know who number one is?"

He didn't say anything, which meant he agreed.

"Tell me quickly, who is he, who is he..."

Now the identities of No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, and No. 9 of the Tiandi Club have been confirmed, leaving only No. 1 and No. 7 and No. 8 who have never appeared. Because No. 1 has always participated in group chats, who No. 1 is has become the thing that others want to know most.

Zhong Li and Chu Caiwei looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

"what are you guys saying?"

Before Chu Pingsheng could answer the question, Su Su, who was standing on the wall, turned around and said, "Huh?"

Li Miaozhen also turned her head and looked behind her.

There was a faint sound of loud noise ahead.

"Come out, monk, stop being a coward."

"You are a big liar, deceiving the emperor and your superiors, you are shameless."

"My uncle can tolerate those who bully me, but my aunt can't."

"Yes, there is a prisoner. Don't be afraid of him."

"..."

Clang clang clang, clang clang clang…

Clang clang clang, clang clang clang…

There seemed to be the sound of gongs and drums behind. In short, judging from the density of the footsteps, the sound was quite loud.

Su Su said, "Oh, so many people came, they blocked the front street."

Li Miaozhen crossed her arms and said, "I forgot that the ascetic monk from Fengning Temple had exposed your disguise. Hey, if you are not a monk from Tianyu, why do you have a bald head? Who are you?"

Chu Pingsheng smiled slightly: "Guess."

Li Miaozhen was about to speak when she saw him point his finger and a beam of sword energy suddenly burst out. It was so fast that she didn't even have time to react. She was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. She watched helplessly as the sword energy passed close to her right temple, and the murderous intent cut off a strand of her hair, which fluttered to the ground.

In the front yard, the sword energy turned downward, and a man who tried to break into the gate of Xu's house with a short stick was shot through the right leg. He fell in a pool of blood, wailing constantly.

Li Miaozhen looked back at the entrance, then at the monk sitting on the recliner in the backyard: "You..."

Chu Pingsheng nodded: "Yes, I showed mercy. He should be grateful to me for not killing him. If I wasn't afraid of scaring my good disciple and good sister, hehe..."

This sneer gave Li Miaozhen goosebumps.

……

In the meditation hall.

Yuan Jing sat on the steps in front of the bed, looking at the sunlight on the ground with a worried look on his face.

Linglong's unusual behavior made him very annoyed, and how to treat the monk was also a thorny problem.

To think that he, the dignified Emperor of Dafeng, was actually fooled by an impostor to such an extent. Not only was his immortal concubine, who was determined to practice dual cultivation, beaten to the punch by a monk, but he almost married his two precious daughters to the other party. It would be so embarrassing if this were to be made public. Too embarrassing!
However, there was one thing he couldn't figure out. Since the monk was an imposter, why did he know that the one suppressed under Sangpo Lake was the right arm of King Shura? Why did he risk seriously injuring Sun Xuanji and offending the Supervisor in the name of the Heavenly Realm monk to bring an army to the royal family to question him? What good would this do for the monk?
"emperor……"

A sound from outside the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Enter."

Yuan Jing stood up and looked at the eunuch Liu Rong who pushed open the palace door and walked in with his head bowed.

"Have you seen the Supervisor?"

"Back to the Emperor, no."

"No?"

"Yes, the people from the Imperial Observatory said that the director is in seclusion again."

"What? In seclusion again?!"

Yuan Jing's face became increasingly gloomy.

Why do you still come here for this? If you encounter something with monks, you will retreat. In the past, it is understandable that the supervisor was worried about being at odds with the Buddhist sect and retreated to escape. After all, there are four first-class Buddhists in the Tianyu Sect. Even if the supervisor is very powerful in Dafeng, he would not have much chance of winning if he fought four alone.

Now that the monk’s forged identity has been exposed, why is this old guy still pretending to be dead?
Could it be that he was just being soft-hearted and unwilling to return the favor? He ignored it before because of a Daliang jade seal, and he is still ignoring it now? The apprentice of the Supervisor is only a fifth-rank prophet, is he that important?
"Go to Yunlu Academy again and ask Zhao Shou to come over."

"Yes."

Liu Rong took the order and left.

Yuan Jing doesn't care about Yunlu Academy because the people there are not as obedient as those in Imperial College. However, with the dwindling number of masters in Imperial College, the director in seclusion again, and the unclear relationship between Luo Yuheng and the monk, the only master in Dafeng who can surpass the monk is Zhao Shou, the dean of Yunlu Academy who has mastered the Sub-Sage Set. At worst, after killing the monk, he can reuse a few Confucian scholars from Yunlu Academy.

That's right. After knowing that the monk had no support from the Buddhist sect of Heaven Realm, he decided to kill him, because only by killing the monk would there be no more accidents on Luo Yuheng's side, and he could vent his hatred and restore his reputation and the dignity of the royal family.

……

Sitianjian, a rooftop overlooking the entire capital city.

Sun Xuanji walked out of the corridor leading to the quiet room.

Yang Qianhuan turned his back to Second Senior Brother, acting as if he was a superior looking into the distance. Song Qing stood with his hands hanging down, his big face looking three points rounder, it was obvious that he had gained too much fat in the autumn and did not lose it all in the winter.

"Second Brother, what did the teacher say?"

"Teacher... didn't... didn't ask us to do anything. He just told us... to focus on our cultivation and not... to worry about... what's happening outside."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Song Qing looked back at Yang Qianhuan: "Brother Yang, what are you laughing at?"

"Who is this old man? His words prove that he knew the identity of the monk who performed the consecration ceremony was fake." Yang Qianhuan said, shaking his folding fan: "Do you remember what he wanted from you?"

"How to make the soul-summoning flag?"

"That's right." Yang Qianhuan closed the folding fan in his hand: "I think his purpose is to revive someone."

Sun Xuanji rolled his eyes at his back: "Do I need to say this?"

Yang Qianhuan said: "If we want to find out his origins, we only need to determine the identity of the person he wants to resurrect, and then the above problems will be solved."

Song Qing punched his left palm with his right fist: "That makes sense, Senior Brother Yang, you are really smart."

“Hahaha…” Yang Qianhuan stretched out his palm and pointed it at the sky, making a gesture of making a move: “I am the future supervisor.”

Sun Xuanji was too lazy to argue with him: "Where is Zhong... Zhong Li?"

Song Qing said, "I went to Xu's house with Chu Caiwei."

"What...what did they do...to go to Xu's house?"

"I heard that some people in the capital, under the instigation of someone, surrounded Xu's house."

"Hundreds of people...surrounded...surrounded Xu's house?"

Sun Xuanji was puzzled. After thinking for a moment, his face changed drastically: "This... this is... someone is trying to force... force the teacher to take action."

Now it was Song Qing and Yang Qianhuan's turn to be confused.

"Second Brother, can you please tell me everything?"

……

At the same time, in Lingbao Temple, Luo Yuheng's room. Mu Nanzhi, wearing a green palace dress, pushed the door open, took off the veil covering her face, walked to the table breathlessly, turned over an inverted yellow glaze cup and poured half a cup of tea, picked it up and drank it all, then looked at her best friend who had just woken up from meditation.

"Well, a few sons of officials brought some hooligans and a group of ignorant people to surround Xu's house and demanded an explanation from the monk."

"What statement?"

Luo Yuheng's voice was soft, his speech was not fast, and his eyes were gentle enough to warm people's hearts.

"Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate and desire", the karma fire will switch between these seven emotions during the outbreak period.

Mu Nanzhi was of course very aware of her friend's situation. She frowned and said, "Look at you. Are you going to have another attack? It's already this hour. You don't care about yourself, but you still care about the life and death of that big liar?"

"This matter not only concerns him, but also the Dafeng court."

"Okay, okay, let me tell you." Mu Nanzhi said, "The monk asked the emperor to marry two princesses at the same time. Now the ascetic monk from Tianyu has testified that he is not a Buddhist monk. That group of people accused him of deceiving the emperor and deceiving the princesses into marriage. They asked the Royal Sword Guards and the Night Watchmen to arrest him and punish him severely."

"How dare the Imperial Sword Guards and the Night Watchmen touch him? If they had the ability to do so, would they have waited until today? I think there must be someone behind this matter fanning the flames and instigating these people to die. According to that person's idea, if the monks massacred civilians in the capital, the Supervisor would have to express his attitude."

Mu Nanzhi said: "So... this is the Emperor's method?"

Luo Yuheng shook his head: "I don't know."

"Bring the contents of that bronze tripod here."

"Bronze tripod?"

Mu Nanzhi looked around and saw the bronze tripod she mentioned on the bookshelf in the front right. After opening the lid, she saw a light golden crystal ball inside, which contained a thick mist.

"what is this?"

"The energy of the dragon vein."

"The dragon energy that the emperor shared with you? Do you know that using this is equivalent to agreeing with the emperor that there will be no room for maneuver in the matter of dual cultivation?"

Luo Yuheng said: "Now is a time of trouble. Only by doing this can I have the ability to control the situation."

"Can't we just hand it over to the Supervisor?"

"The supervisor won't care."

"Are you so sure?"

"As long as he doesn't massacre the city, the supervisor won't care."

"Massacre the city? What a joke!"

"I'm not kidding. I asked Qiu Shuang to go to Qinglong Mountain a few days ago. Guess what she saw."

"what?"

"A large area of ​​Qinglong Mountain collapsed. The entire mountain... is gone. There is not a single stone larger than half a foot at the scene." Luo Yuheng took the crystal ball and said, "The last time Sun Xuanji was seriously injured by him, the Supervisor did not show up. Do you think that in the eyes of the Supervisor, those who besieged Xu's house are more important than his most valued disciple?"

"..."

Mu Nanzhi stopped talking.

Luo Yuheng said: "I'm going to practice, you go out."

Mu Nanzhi hesitated to speak, finally shook her head, sighed and left the room.

……

At Xu’s house in Dongcheng, the street in front was crowded with people.

There were Confucian scholars from the Imperial College who were filled with righteous indignation and demanded an explanation from the monk, there were hooligans who had received bribes and came to cause trouble, there were sons of officials who organized this movement, and there were neighbors who came to watch the excitement after hearing the sound of gongs and drums. In short, the street in front of Xu's house was packed with people.

Some people were shouting slogans, some followed suit, and some did not shout slogans but held up sticks and carrying poles to cheer. It is not an exaggeration to say that the crowd was very angry.

After all, if the monk is a high-ranking monk in the celestial realm, he can be called a foreign envoy. The royal family of Dafeng did not do what they promised to the Buddhist sect, so they were inherently in the wrong. No one can say anything if he went too far.

However, who would have thought that he was actually a fake, not only pretending to be a high monk of the Heaven Realm to deceive the royal family, but also using vile means to plot against the eldest princess Huaiqing and the second princess Lin'an of Dafeng Mingzhu. Can this be tolerated? Of course not!
"Xu Qian'an is here."

"Look, Xu Qian'an is here."

Someone shouted, and the crowd surrounding the gate of Xu's house parted to both sides. Xu Qian'an walked over quickly with a serious face. When he was almost to the door, he saw a burly guy slumped at the door wailing. His calf was pierced and there was a large pool of blood. He was stunned for a moment.

At this time, a gangster in the crowd took off his dirty shoes and threw them at him.

Snapped.

Xu Qian'an stretched out his hand to catch it, turned around and glared at the man, and then saw that his gangster companions were eager to try, his face suddenly fell: "As far as I know, the master of opening the light slaughtered everyone on an island overseas. I think the fate of the man at the door is just a small warning. If you don't restrain yourself, it's hard to say what will happen next."

"Don't be afraid of him, he is just bluffing." An earl's son pointed at Xu Qian'an and said, "With the prison guards here, how dare the monk go on a killing spree?"

The lackey behind him said, "That's right, even if the monk had ten courages, he wouldn't dare to do it."

Someone else shouted angrily: "Get out, get out of the capital, get out of Dafeng."

"No, if he gets out of Dafeng, he will be too easy. No one would dare to bully Dafeng. If we don't kill him, how can we eliminate the hatred of the people of Dafeng?"

"..."

Xu Qian'an frowned. He smelled a conspiracy from these people's behavior. He didn't believe that these people came to the Xu family's door spontaneously to cause trouble.

Now that things had come to this, the most important thing was to discuss what to do. So he put aside the behavior of the people behind him, walked past the man with a crippled leg at the door, and entered the front yard.

As soon as he left, two people appeared at the corner of the street. One was wearing a black cloak and the other was wearing a green robe. The former's head and face could not be seen clearly, while the latter looked like an ordinary person.

"How's it going? Did you find it?"

"Your Excellency, it is said that the son of Marquis Anyuan made great contributions to this."

"Marquis Anyuan?"

The man in the cloak hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand back: "I understand, you can go down."

The man in the green robe withdrew.

The cloaked man entered the alley next to him and got into a shabby carriage. He took off his hood, revealing an old face with many brown spots. It was none other than the Minister of Justice, Sun Min.

Opposite him was a man with well-shaped eyebrows, sharp eyes and considerable majesty. He was none other than Wang Zhenwen, the head of the Wang Party and the prime minister who could rival Wei Yuan in the court.

"Anyuan Hou's bastard? Since Prince Yu's death, the noble group has been scattered. Except for Pingyuan Bo's increasing power, the rest of them have not done anything significant. I heard that Anyuan Hou has joined the Qi Party in recent days. Although this incident was planned by Anyuan Hou's bastard, it doesn't make sense. Anyuan Hou and Monk Kaiguang have no grudges in the past or present, so why would he do such a thing?"

Sun Min was silent for a moment and then said, "I think it was probably the intention of Minister of Works Liu Heng."

Wang Zhenwen said: "If Xu Qian'an hadn't caught Zhou Chixiong, Liu Heng would have been blamed for the Sangpo case. It's also unacceptable for him to be behind the scenes."

"What if the emperor is behind Liu Heng?"

"You mean... the emperor used Liu Heng to put pressure on the supervisor?"

"If the Supervisor takes action, the monk who is consecrating the monk will surely die. If the Supervisor does not take action, we can also find out the Supervisor's attitude towards the monk through this incident."

"What's going on in the palace?"

"Eunuch Liu went to the Imperial Observatory but got no results, so the Emperor sent him to Yunlu Academy."

"They are going to ask Dean Zhao for help. Maybe this is really the emperor's work. So, you should go to the palace immediately and tell His Majesty the monk's true identity."

"You mean... add fuel to the fire?" Sun Min said reluctantly.

It would be easy for Wang Zhenwen to tell him what to do with just a few words, but if that aroused the emperor's suspicion and he found out that he had known the monk's identity for a long time but concealed it, he might be in trouble.

"Go, you are the Minister of Justice, you are the most suitable person to do this."

"..."

Sun Min stood up silently, bowed to Wang Zhenwen, turned around and walked out of the carriage.

He knew very well that Wang Zhenwen did this to make the emperor more resolute in his determination to kill the monk, because the rise of Pingyuan Earl after the fall of Prince Yu made the civil service group realize that they seemed to have become a tool for the emperor to crack down on the noble group. Then the logic behind the death of Princess Pingyang and Monk Henghui's return to the capital to seek revenge was intriguing.

……

The backyard of Xu’s house.

Xu Qian'an stared blankly at the women in the yard.

Of the demon race: Youji and Yeji.

From the Imperial Astronomical Observatory: Zhong Li and Chu Caiwei.

Of the Gu tribe: Lina.

From Tianzong: Li Miaozhen and Susu.

At this time, he is still playing the King Zhou game.

"Master, the outside world is in chaos, how can you still sit still?"

"He bombs his plane, I sit on mine, as long as we don't interfere with each other, what's the problem?"

"But……"

"You came back so early today. Did the night watchman put pressure on you?"

Xu Qian'an got angry when he thought of Nangong Qianrou's face.

"Master, you can't just leave without saying goodbye like you did last time. If you want to leave, you have to inform us in advance." What was his subtext? If they were to leave together, given the current situation in the capital, with the monk's ability, he could just run away at any time, and the Xu family would be in trouble.

"Don't worry, after today, your special silver gong will continue to work. Nangong Qianrou is not obedient, right?"

Chu Pingsheng waved his robe sleeves lightly, and a man wearing heavy armor appeared in front of everyone. The armor was dark red, with a full helmet covering his face, and a big sword on his back.

You Ji's expression changed drastically and she took half a step back.

That’s right, this feeling... seems to be the remains of the Taoist master in the ancient tomb outside Xiangcheng. The Yin energy revealed between the armor is very faint, but as an enemy they have fought before, it is difficult to hide it from her, the demon king of the demon clan.

Lina, Li Miaozhen, Zhong Li, and Chu Caiwei had no reaction at all, because the level difference was too great. They could only feel the oppressive aura of the red-armored puppet but could not tell where it came from.

Chu Pingsheng said, "When you go to the night watchman's office in the future, just bring him with you. If Nangong Qianrou doesn't obey, beat her until she obeys."

"What grade is this?"

"Third grade, right?"

"Hehe, hehe..."

Xu Qian'an's mouth twitched. A third-rank bodyguard? Are you kidding me? "Master, what can I do for you?"

He always felt that the monk must have some ulterior motive for being so generous to him.

"Didn't you keep complaining to Jinlian about my elbow being outward on the way back to the capital?"

"That's impossible, Master. You heard me wrong. I can't even praise you enough. How could I possibly complain?"

"Is it……"

Chu Pingsheng had just started to speak when his expression suddenly changed and he shot towards the front yard with a whoosh.

You Ji didn't have time to think about it and followed him, followed by Li Miaozhen and Xu Qian'an... When they jumped to the south room adjacent to the courtyard gate and looked out, they saw two thugs and a few hot-blooded civilians grabbing Li Ru's clothes and not letting her go. There was a basket on the ground with a bundle of fresh spring onions, half a roast duck that had been trampled beyond recognition, and two eggs were broken, with the egg white and eggshell stuck to the ground.
