Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 190 Zhou Ping's Plan

The city lockdown in Qinghe County was activated again.

A milky white light quickly covered the entire county with County Magistrate Lu as the center.

At this moment, ordinary people were not affected. Those who had cultivation felt that their cultivation was suppressed.

He Yunqing is a ninth-rank Buddhist. She feels the strength in her body and it seems to be less than the tenth-rank.

Liu Ruyan pulled at the bellyband on her chest, which seemed a little tight. She frowned slightly and showed an unhappy expression.

In the Jiaofangsi, Mingyue was dancing.

With the opening of the city-sealing formation, the power of the Confucian monks was strengthened.

There was a milky white light shining on Mingyue's body, and she looked extremely holy, like an angel.

The audience looked at Mingyue and felt both fond of her and yet also felt that she was too holy to be desecrated.

Mingyue knew she had become stronger, and she felt full of strength. She was not paying attention, and the wooden board on the ground was crushed into pieces by her.

At this time, Mingyue had a thought in her mind: I am so powerful, the world is so big, I can go anywhere I want.

Inside the county government office, Magistrate Lu had a look of pride on his face.

Under the city sealing formation, County Magistrate Lu knew that everyone's cultivation would be suppressed, but his own cultivation had improved.

“Come on, everyone!” County Magistrate Lu took out a pen and paper, and started drawing on it.

After a while, three tigers were drawn by County Magistrate Lu.

Zhou Ping's eyes were slightly surprised. Confucian painting technique.

Zhou Ping had only seen Fan Shiyi use this technique. Fan Shiyi once said that this technique required at least a seventh-grade level to be used.

However, County Magistrate Lu only had the cultivation level of the tenth rank, not even the seventh rank.

"Under the city sealing formation, I can use the art of drawing objects." County Magistrate Lu said proudly.

When the yamen runners saw that Magistrate Lu had actually drawn three tigers, they were immediately excited and felt that they had done well.

Although the three tigers have no ominous fighting power, they are very scary.

"I never thought that under the city sealing formation, a tenth-rank Confucianist could also use the Confucian painting technique."

"Yes, I remember that this spell requires at least the seventh rank, or even the sixth rank of Confucianism to perform."

"It doesn't mean that you can use it just because you have the seventh or sixth rank Confucian cultivation. Cultivation is the most basic thing, and you also need talent."

"It seems that this city-sealing formation has indeed improved the cultivation of Confucianists."

The outsiders were talking about this. These words made the yamen runners more convinced that they could defeat Zhou Ping under the city sealing formation.

"Let's go together!" Captain Leng shouted and rushed out first.

Wang Cheng was a little unhappy. This is my word!

At the call of Captain Leng, the other yamen runners rushed towards Zhou Ping.

The royal city fell behind.

Captain Leng always seizes every opportunity to show himself and steal the limelight from the royal city.

County Magistrate Lu also felt relieved. He felt that Zhou Ping was a member of the Demon Sect and was under even greater suppression under the city closure formation, so his cultivation must not be much left.

However, the next moment.

Except for Wang Cheng, all the other yamen runners who rushed towards Zhou Ping were knocked to the ground by Zhou Ping's kick. Especially Leng, the head of the police, spat out a mouthful of blood after falling to the ground.

The three tigers that pounced on Zhou Ping were also stepped on by Zhou Ping and turned into ink.

The effect of the art of drawing objects depends on the ability of the practitioner. Fan Shiyi once said that the people or objects drawn by Confucian practitioners above the third rank have extremely high destructive power.

The combat power of the first-grade Confucian paintings is even stronger.

But what Fan Shiyi drew looked like ordinary people and beasts.

"It's just a paper tiger." Zhou Ping smiled faintly, then looked at Lu Chang: "How about, follow the master, follow the master to join the devil sect, and you can do whatever you want in the future."

The evil spirit in Lu Chang's body was also suppressed by the city sealing formation, but he himself was very paranoid, and had great evil thoughts in his heart, so even if there was still a little evil spirit in his body, it still amplified Lu Chang's evil thoughts.

"I want to join the Demonic Religion. I don't want to study. I can get what I want without studying."

"I want others to submit to me, both men and women."

Lu Chang laughed wildly.

This action stunned everyone in the county government office.

The foreign cultivators widened their eyes.

"What's going on? Why are the people from this demon cult still so powerful?"

"Under the city-sealing formation, his cultivation should have been suppressed."

"Could he be a first-rank cultivator? Yes, with only a first-rank cultivation base, even if he is suppressed, he should still be stronger than these yamen runners."

The foreign cultivators were extremely shocked, and at this moment they had a feeling of surviving a calamity. If they had chosen to attack Zhou Ping at the beginning, they would probably have died without a burial place.

The outside cultivators looked at each other and had the same thought in their minds: It's a good thing they didn't attack this adult.

Captain Leng, Wang Cheng and County Magistrate Lu were equally shocked.

County Magistrate Lu gritted his teeth and said, "Impossible! Under the city sealing formation, even if you are a first-rank cultivator, you will be suppressed to a cultivation level no higher than the ninth rank."

County Magistrate Lu received pre-job training before becoming the county magistrate.

The secret he knew about the city-sealing formation was that even a first-rank demon cultivator could only have the cultivation level of a ninth or tenth rank under the formation.

Therefore, the masters of the Demon Cult rarely stay in the county town, because they are afraid of becoming trapped beasts in a cage!
The reason why the Demon Lord fell was because he was trapped in the city blockade of Qingyuan County, so he was beaten out of his body and chose to take over another body.

There was a change in County Magistrate Lu's eyes. He did not believe that Zhou Ping was a top-notch master.

Captain Leng, Wang Cheng and a group of yamen runners were also in a state of uncertainty at this time.

Except for Wang Cheng, they were all seriously injured.

"In addition to being a member of the Demon Cult, you also have Confucian cultivation." County Magistrate Lu had a high IQ and quickly figured out the connection. "You are not a member of the Demon Cult."

Zhou Ping was slightly stunned, but didn't say anything. He didn't expect that County Magistrate Lu was not a drunkard.

In fact, it was not that Magistrate Lu was smart, but that he had more information at his fingertips and knew that even a first-grade cultivator of the Demon Sect would have his cultivation suppressed under the city-sealing formation.

Zhou Ping's cultivation was not suppressed, which shows that he also has Confucian cultivation.

At the same time, a group of yamen runners, foreign cultivators and Yan Yi all understood why Zhou Ping was still so powerful despite the city sealing formation.

The demonic aura on Zhou Ping showed that he was a member of the Demon Cult, but the fact that he was so powerful under the city-sealing formation showed that Zhou Ping also had Confucian cultivation.

"I never thought that there would be people with Confucian cultivation among the people of the Demon Sect."

"What's wrong with that? It doesn't mean that all those who practice Confucianism are good people."

"Look at these officials, which one is not a bad person, which one does not suck the blood and sweat of the people, which one is not a bad person, they still have Confucian cultivation, but they are not good people."

"Yes, Confucian cultivation has to do with poetry, and has nothing to do with whether a person is good or bad."

The outsiders were talking about it. They finally understood why Zhou Ping was so powerful. It turned out that the people of the Demon Sect could also have Confucian cultivation.

Yan Yi did not speak. When she was escorting the convoy, she once met a person from the Demon Sect. This person was of the fifth rank in cultivation, but he only had the fifth rank in Confucianism.

This man was not originally a member of the Demonic Cult, but he was bullied in the officialdom and could not stand what the officials did. In the end, he killed many of his colleagues and then joined the Demonic Cult.

Therefore, Confucian cultivation has nothing to do with whether a person is good or bad. It is not strange that there are Confucianists among the demon sect.

"I do have Confucian cultivation, and I am a seventh-rank Confucian. So? Do you have any other means to deal with me?" Zhou Ping looked at County Magistrate Lu with a smile.

After Zhou Ping finished speaking, everyone was shocked again.

"This person is actually a seventh-rank Confucian, which is higher than the Confucian cultivation of the county magistrate!" Wang Cheng couldn't help but look at County Magistrate Lu. County Magistrate Lu had a brow full of black lines and a gloomy expression.

Captain Leng secretly regretted his impulsiveness. He shouldn't have attacked without knowing the enemy's details. Now, he was seriously injured!
"Now we are going to have a good show, isn't it? The other party is actually a seventh-rank Confucian scholar. His cultivation is much higher than that of the county magistrate."

"Hehe, let's see how this county magistrate deals with the people of the Demon Cult."

The foreign cultivators looked as if they were enjoying a good show.

The situation has turned around!

Originally thought that under the city closure formation, County Magistrate Lu could cover the sky with one hand, but unexpectedly, the other party's Confucian cultivation was several levels higher than his own!

At this point, it's already a stalemate.

I can't defeat the opponent, and I can't trap him for too long.

The city sealing formation cannot be kept open all the time. With County Magistrate Lu's cultivation level, it can only be opened for a few days at most.

But even if it's turned on, what can I do? I can't beat the other party!

County Magistrate Lu was very upset at this time: "Why did they have to be from the Demon Cult? Why didn't some great hero come here?"

Even if the hero killed his own son, Magistrate Lu could still issue a warrant for his arrest. Magistrate Lu could turn the hero into a beggar.

But the other party is from the Demon Cult! And this person is not trying to kill his son, but to take his son away.

This is big trouble!

If the imperial court knew that his son was a member of the Demon Cult, it would probably implicate several clans. County Magistrate Lu would definitely be the first to bear the brunt of the consequences, and he would definitely not be able to serve as a county magistrate!

At this moment, County Magistrate Lu had an idea: Son, you'd better die.

"This friend of the Demon Cult." County Magistrate Lu looked at Zhou Ping sincerely, "I know Qinghe County can't deal with you. Chief Lu will definitely be taken away by you, but he is my son after all. Can I say a few words to him before I leave?"

Zhou Ping smiled gently: "Of course."

Zhou Ping was not afraid of County Magistrate Lu's tricks, he knew that County Magistrate Lu would definitely play tricks. Zhou Ping had already guessed the tricks that County Magistrate Lu would play.

This is also the reason why Zhou Ping was busy all night.

Lu Chang must die, but Zhou Ping is unwilling to kill him. Killing him would dirty Zhou Ping's hands.

The trouble should end it.

Lu Chang deserved to die at the hands of others.

That's why Zhou Ping set up such a trap.

"Go ahead." Zhou Ping pushed Lu Chang towards County Magistrate Lu.

Lu Chang was still unwilling to come to County Magistrate Lu. He cursed, "What father or not? You are a spineless guy. In Qianzhou City, you were just someone else's little follower. When you came to Qinghe County, you only dared to play with a few girls. How can you be as powerful as me?"

County Magistrate Lu's expression changed slightly, with a hint of anger and murderous intent in his eyes. He took a few quick steps to the side of Lu Chang, and tenderness returned to his eyes.

"Son, I'm sorry that I couldn't keep you here," said Magistrate Lu.

Lu Chang laughed wildly and said, "What's the use of staying? I'm going to follow my master to the Demon Sect. From now on, I'll kill anyone I don't like, and I'll sleep with anyone I like."

As Magistrate Lu listened to what Chief Lu said, he glanced at the long sword beside Wang Cheng, and then looked at Wang Cheng again.

Wang Cheng had followed Magistrate Lu for a year, and by this time he had guessed what Magistrate Lu was going to do. Magistrate Lu was actually going to kill his own son!

"Lord Lu actually wanted to kill his own son and not let him leave alive."

"That's right. It would be fine if Master Lu was just killed, but he was going to be a member of the Demon Cult."

"Once Young Master Lu becomes a member of the Demon Cult, then County Magistrate Lu will be like yellow mud falling into his pants, which will definitely affect his career."

Wang Cheng understood the hint from County Magistrate Lu. He threw the long knife in his hand at County Magistrate Lu, and then rushed towards Zhou Ping. He did not do this to defeat Zhou Ping, but to buy time for County Magistrate Lu.

On this side, County Magistrate Lu took the long knife and put it on Chief Lu's neck.

Zhou Ping sneered in his heart. He was fooled!

What Zhou Ping wanted was for County Magistrate Lu to take action against Captain Lu.

The child does not teach, the father too.

County Magistrate Lu has a lot to do with why Lu Chang has become what he is now.

Not only did County Magistrate Lu turn Lu Chang into a demon child, but he also protected him even though he knew he was committing a crime.

In that case, let you kill your own son.

"You dare!" Zhou Ping shouted, and then with a wave of his hand, he threw Wang Cheng far away. He strode forward, pretending to save Lu Chang.

However, the next moment, County Magistrate Lu slashed Lu Chang's neck with a long knife.

"Dad, you actually killed me!" Lu Chang covered his neck, blood gushing out of it. His eyes were full of disbelief.

After Lu Chang finished speaking, he covered his neck and ran towards Zhou Ping: "Master, save me!"

Zhou Ping stretched out his hand, pretending to support Lu Chang, but a cold light flashed in Lu County Magistrate's eyes, and then he stabbed Lu Chang in the back again.

Lu Chang collapsed to the ground, no longer breathing.

"My good disciple! My good disciple!"

"You are so good, Magistrate Lu, you even killed your own son!"

Zhou Ping was furious, but he did not attack County Magistrate Lu. He knew that County Magistrate Lu had the official seal in his hand, which would automatically protect its master. If he attacked him, he would most likely be attacked by the city-sealing formation.

There was sadness in Magistrate Lu's eyes, after all, this was his own son.

County Magistrate Lu suddenly recalled what Lu Chang looked like when he first saw him, and then how he slowly watched him grow up and took him out to play.

County Magistrate Lu felt a sharp pain in his heart. He now understood Yuan Gong's feelings to some extent.

As a parent, how can you not feel pain when your child dies? Moreover, you killed your own son.

"Captain Lu was bewitched by the Demon Cult and almost joined it. This means he betrayed the Great Wei and his parents and ancestors. What use is there for such an unfaithful and unfilial son!" County Magistrate Lu said with righteous indignation.

Inside and outside the county government office, the bailiffs, the outside cultivators, and Yan Yi were all silent.

They didn't expect that County Magistrate Lu would kill his own son with his own hands!

"Hehe, I didn't expect that this demon boy would still die."

"Haha, not only is he dead, but his death is so funny, he actually died at the hands of his own father!"

The outsiders were talking about it, with a look of gloating on their faces. They had not expected such a big turn of events.

At this time, Zhang Sheng, who was outside the county government office, had a gloomy face. He had been hiding outside the county government office from the beginning, watching the situation inside. "Something seems to be wrong, but I can't tell what's wrong!"

Yan Yi was also silent. She didn't expect that the murderer who killed Yuan Gong's daughter would die like this. Could it be that the wicked will be punished by God? ?

County Magistrate Lu threw away his sword and cautiously distanced himself from Zhou Ping.

County Magistrate Lu is in control of the city sealing formation. He can use the formation to speak, which is equivalent to having a loudspeaker.

"Cultivators of Qinghe County, there is a member of the Demon Cult in the county government office. His cultivation is only at the seventh level. Anyone who can kill him will be given 3,000 taels in addition to the 1,000 taels from the court!"

"Come quickly!"
