Chapter 52 Zuo Family
Zuo Zhouwang has already discovered it.

I have immense strength and my golden body is incredibly solid. Gao Jian is only one level after all. No matter how magical my steps are, it is difficult for me to reach the level of such a golden body. This is my advantage.

But...the problem is, I can't hit it.

And now, it hit.

Because Gao Jian had a weakness, he actually went to help others block.

Then Gao Jian is dead.

Zuo Zhouwang once again raised his golden body and shouted angrily: "The sky shakes and the earth shakes, the gates of the sky open, and the doors of the earth crack!"

This seemed to be some kind of spell. As he recited it, the aroma of incense on his body suddenly boiled up, his golden body became even brighter, and his power doubled!

To Gao Jian, the smell of incense only served to enhance the strength of his physical body.

And for Zuo Zhouwang, the genuine guardian deity, the smell of incense is not only used to build a golden body, they can also learn spells and cast divine spells!
This is the power of the 'system'.

Many years into the early stages of spiritual practice, there would often be those extremely gifted super geniuses who would emerge out of nowhere and then overwhelm their peers. As long as they were alive, others would never have a chance to succeed.

However, now, after tens of thousands of years of evolution, the painstaking efforts of successive generations of practitioners, and the pioneers who risked their lives to fill in so many wrong paths and forked roads, today's practice is no longer comparable to that of a thousand years ago.

Even if a young person practices martial arts in the womb, it is unlikely that he will be stronger than those old people.

No matter how talented and intelligent Gao Jian is, he will inevitably pale in comparison to the accumulation of a guardian deity like himself who has been worshipped for a hundred years!

Now that the magic spell has been uttered, his power has increased exponentially!
Come on and block it, great idea.

Don't you want to save people?
He didn't even bother to look at where he was chopping, he just knew there must be someone alive there.

As long as Gao Jian dared to block it, with his cultivation level of one realm, this blow would be enough to make him lie on the ground and be slaughtered at will. Then he could find a little demon to cut the tendons of his hands and feet and rupture his Tanzhong acupoint, and the man would be crippled.

Then the little demon was detained, and the minister sent a letter to ask about it. It was because Gao Jian was a waste and could not do the job of the Demon Suppression Division. He was treated like this by the little demon, so the little demon was locked up in the jail and left to be dealt with as the minister wished.

The Zuo family has a lot of influence in Cangzhou. Even if the Shangshu is powerful, he is far away. Can he really come down in person to offend the noble families of the state? This matter is still left unresolved.

Even if you have to bear any pressure, you can't escape it.

The Shangshu's insertion of this person had to take some action, and the many noble families in Cangzhou had to show some sign of support. The Zuo family simply took action first.

Our ancestors really hated this person.

The gust of wind plowed the ground, the mud and stones that were paved were blown away, and the walls were knocked open. Inside was a family. The father was hugging his children and curled up in a ball. His wife was not there, probably because she had run away or died.

There are countless families like this in the outer city of Cangzhou.

But at this moment——

As soon as he swung the gun, he already felt the sensation of being hit.

Zuo Zhouwang was delighted.

This guy is really a fool, he hit it!
and many more……

The feel is wrong——!
"The sky shakes and the earth shakes, the gates of heaven open, and the doors of earth crack!" Gao Jian's voice came along with the same loud shout.

The same spell, the same magic, the incense energy in Gao Jian's body ignites!
The force is also doubled!

Gao Jian's self-sacrificing sword technique, which he originally thought was useless at this stage, once again showed its miraculous effect at this moment!

Exchange minor injuries for serious ones!
Exchange ordinary damage for the opponent's life!

Use one realm to kill two realms!

It is best to put out fire with fire, even if you encounter a knife, you will always be calm.

He twisted his steps, using the energy from the burning incense to increase his strength, and regardless of the damage and consumption of the incense energy, he raised his strength to the same level as the opponent!
Then, he deliberately got injured in exchange for an opportunity to attack. The shaft of the hook-and-sickle spear hit Gao Jian, who used the angle to relieve the force.

Without the spear tip and the sickle hook, this attack would just be a stick chopping down.

Use the tenacity of a rusty knife to receive the first wave, let the stick slide, and then catch it with your body.

Gao Jian was already close to the opponent, stuck in a blind spot where the force was not applied. As long as the angle was right and the steps were correct, this blow of the stick could eliminate 70% of the force and only break a few bones at most.

The rusty knife was already against the opponent's eyebrows.

At this moment, the tip of the rusty knife was an inch sharp, and it was extremely sharp! In addition, the burning incense and the sudden increase in power brought by the magic spell.

A thud.

The head of the guardian deity suddenly exploded, and underneath the golden body that smelled of incense was a clay and wooden sculpture.

The clay and wooden sculptures were broken into pieces, and the ghosts exploded with a bang.

A golden statue fell to its knees on the ground, and its golden color quickly faded away, turning into a complete clay statue.

It turns out that this is the true appearance of the gods who are worshipped after death.

Nothing more.

Gao Jian moved his arms and frowned.

The shoulder blade was broken and a rib was broken.

But he didn't show anything. He just turned around and looked at the dozens of people: "What are you waiting for? Do you want to join him?"

Dozens of soldiers, including their captain, ran away in a hurry.

The residents nearby also ran along.

The battle had lasted only about ten seconds, and they had no time to run away. Now that the battle was over, they all ran away.

In this world, why would you risk your life for a salary of a thousand yuan a month? Let's leave this lunatic to those children of wealthy families!

The witch priest stayed behind, bowed his hands and saluted, then said to Gao Jian: "Your Excellency is killing people wantonly, aren't you afraid of breaking the rules?"

"What rules?" Gao Jian asked.

"The rules of the Cangzhou family." said the witch priest.

Gao Jian sneered: "You broke the rules of the people and the country, so what if I broke the rules of my family?"

"The common people are too small and the national laws are too far away, but the aristocratic families are neither too big nor too small, just right." The witch priest stared at Gao Jian and said.

"Let me tell you, the people are not small, and the law of the country is not far away. For example, you still don't dare to touch me openly, right? You can't even find a master to kill me, because the master's action will definitely leave traces, and you are afraid of being implicated by the law of the country." Gao Jian said with a smile.

The witch priest looked at Gao Jian deeply, bowed again, and said, "In fact, we don't have to be enemies with you. Goodbye. In the next few days, please think carefully about what is the best choice for these people while you recover from your injuries."

After saying this, the witch priest maintained the posture of saluting, slowly retreated to the corner, and disappeared from Gao Jian's sight.

Gao Jian watched the other person leave and breathed a sigh of relief.

It really hurts. Even though he blocked more than 70% of the opponent's force with his angle and pace, it still caused his blood to vibrate and several bones to break.

But fortunately, after defeating a Zuo family god with a legitimate inheritance head-on, he still has some strength now.

Fortunately, at the moment when the opponent cast the magic spell, Gao Jian seized the opportunity, held the rusty knife, and let the lake of his heart reflect the opponent's charm.

If we must say, this is also a kind of 'astonishing understanding'. Gao Jian was able to forcibly copy the opponent's moves through his spirit the moment he saw the opponent perform the moves.

This is risky. For example, if the opponent's spirit is not good enough and he himself has not practiced to that level, Gao Jian will naturally not be able to learn any spirit.

For example, if the other party sets a trap, and the divine charm leads to some horrible trap, like an illusion or even evil thoughts, then even the most brilliant ideas will fail.

It can even be said that if the opponent noticed the flaw that Gao Jian suddenly realized at that moment and immediately changed his tactics and charged directly at Gao Jian, he would also suffer a heavy loss.

However, Gao Jian felt that Zuo Zhouwang might not be at this level, so he acted boldly and forcibly used the rusty knife to reflect his charm during the battle.

Fortunately, it was successful, and I even gained a Shinto technique.

Just one question…

Gao Jian felt the scent of his own incense.

It's completely used up and gone.

Casting this kind of spell requires the consumption of incense. Gao Jian himself only has one wisp of it. If it is all used up, it will be completely gone.

For normal gods, they already have a fixed source of incense energy, so the consumption is not a big deal, but the higher opinion is to use less.

But it doesn't matter, it's just a bonus.

This method is useless and it just wastes the luster of the rusty knife, but it’s not a big deal.

There was no way, he couldn't bear it. Gao Jian would of course have trouble if he killed this man.

However, if he does not take action today, if he does this kind of thing again in the future, many people will come to stop him.

It would be better to solve it once and for all.

After all... there are more than 500 mass graves in the outer city of Cangzhou, and Gao Jian can't just turn a blind eye to them.

As for what to do after being stopped? Gao Jian has his own solution.

Seeing that almost everyone around had run away, only the ghosts behind and Liu Ping who came out from their hiding place were left.

Gao Jian greeted him and said, "You should slowly nourish the souls. You are the only one who is sane among the people who died in this mass grave. Don't let them down. I am injured and will go back to recuperate. You should also take care of yourself."

"Let's go back to the Demon Suppression Division camp." Gao Jian jumped on his horse.

He just walked away leisurely without stopping.

----------

In a large mansion in the inner city of Cangzhou.

Rather than calling it a large mansion, it is more like a maze, covering an area of three or four miles in radius.
There are more than ten pavilions in the maze, each with different scenery. In one house, there are more than a dozen different scenery, including the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, mountains and rivers, snowfields and fields of flowers.

There are lotus flowers on both sides, green bamboos by the water, autumn orchids on the cliffs, and the garden is well-made. You can see many rockeries and streams hidden among the flowers and on the water's edge. There are springs and bamboos, and on the top of the mountain, there are dense green bamboos and lush green pines, which are beautiful beyond words.

More than a dozen different gardens and pavilions are combined into one and connected to the mountain. They are all majestic and imposing, with fantastic ideas and fanciful imaginations embellished with nature, with bright water and trees, solemnity and wildness, ten thousand pieces of red clouds and thousands of layers of red brocade, so brilliant.

This is the Cangzhou family, the main branch of the Zuo family.

The Zuo family is a family of shamans. The surname originated from an official title. The ancestor of the Zuo family is most famous for his deeds of offering sacrifices to Emperor Xuanyuan. Since ancient times, there have been descendants of the Zuo family spread everywhere. They are good at communicating with demons, ghosts and gods, and praying for rain and blessings.

In the whole Cangzhou, most of the activities such as offering sacrifices to heaven, earth, gods and the country are done by people from the Zuo family. Zuo Lang is currently in charge of the Cangzhou ancestral temple sacrifices, and he is already the fifth generation.

At this time, in a room on the second floor of one of the pavilions, Zuo Lang, who looked to be no more than thirty or forty years old, was drinking tea and resting with his eyes closed.

In front of him, there was an old man standing in front of him, saying: "Ancestor..."

"This is Gao Jian's whereabouts in the past few days. He has killed a guardian deity. Before he was worshipped, he was a bastard of the branch family named Zuo Zhouwang. He also killed the water god of Sancha River. He was also an honest man who paid tribute to the Zuo family every year. Moreover... the assassin before might have died at his hands. We originally thought it was Shushan who did it, but Gao Jian cannot be ruled out as a suspect."

When he said this, the old man sighed.

The second-level archer comes from a large organization like Yan Ge. He has opened his Qi Hai and Yu Zhen and has practiced archery for fifteen years. He can hear something ten miles away and not even a mosquito can escape within a thousand steps.

But he died just like that.

I originally thought that Gao Jian could not do it, perhaps it was the monsters in Shushan who took action, but now it seems that it may have nothing to do with Shushan.

Gao Jian really killed Zuo Zhouwang, who was in the second realm, head-on when he was in the first realm.

"You are very murderous and confident... Are you looking for profit?" Zuo Lang closed his eyes and took a sip of tea.

The old man replied: "It's not like he's seeking profit. He has never done anything to seek profit."

Zuo Lang nodded: "Hire another assassin from Yan Ge and tell Yan Ge that they have failed once. These people have chivalrous spirits. If they are provoked like this, they will definitely show their true abilities."

"Do you want to invite the three realms?" asked the old man.

"That's Yan Ge's business. They won't charge more. These people call themselves knights-errant and are very arrogant." Zuo Lang opened his eyes. There was a divine light in his eyes, but it seemed that he couldn't suppress it, so a little golden light was revealed.

"Then I'll do it, ancestor. By the way, what about the Baishanjiang Water Tribe?"

"Let's hold off on the Water Tribe for now. We're still not sure what the Shangshu will do, so don't jump out too much. It's not good to be caught. Leave the murders to Yan Ge, don't do it yourself. Even if others guess that it was us, if we can't provide evidence, then it's nothing. Don't be scared."

"Yes, I will contact Yan Ge right away." The old man lowered his head and prepared to leave.

"Wait." Zuo Lang suddenly stretched out his hand and called the old man.

"What's wrong, ancestor?" The old man was suddenly terrified and bowed down.

Zuo Lang waved his hand and said, "Don't go directly to Yan Ge, at least not in the next few days. Go find the young man in charge of the outer city and ask him to personally deliver the medicine to Gao Jian. Wasn't he injured last night? Ask the pharmacist to prepare a dose of medicine for him."

"Invite him to the Zuo family for a banquet. If he doesn't want to, we can order a banquet for him at the Eight Treasures Restaurant. We need to make it loud and clear so that the word gets out more and say that he has helped the Zuo family a lot."

"Grandfather, what is this?" The old man was a little confused. "If you want to win him over, it's probably too late. If you want to use this trick to frame him, then he can just kill two of us and clear himself from the matter. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that we are just doing some useless tricks. We can't hide it from other families."

"Why hide it from the aristocratic families? Just deceive those ignorant people and let those witches and gods spread their wisdom." Zuo Lang said casually: "Then, let those gods work harder and commit more evil recently. We won't take advantage of them this time."

"I think everything Gao Jian did was just for these fools. Let him know that these fools can't remember the people who do things, they only remember the people who tell stories."

"Tell them a story, let Gao Jian see what kind of hopeless idiots he wants to save, and then Gao Jian will be more talkative."

"Killing Gao Jian is easy, but it will always be troublesome. Do as I say and kill his heart first."
