Confucian and Taoist scholar

Chapter 105 The storm is coming
Lu Zheng looked a little solemn. He didn't expect that the mastermind behind this was actually a dragon close to the fifth realm.

The other party had been planning for many years and even had spies and subordinates in several surrounding counties.

He let so many people suffer just so that he could turn into a dragon one day.

Lu Zheng looked at Zhu Sha and asked, "You should know where she is now, right?"

Zhu Sha said: "I know. If you believe me, I can take you there."

Su Mei beside him hurriedly said, "Can you call someone so powerful to deal with her? If so, I'll take you there, otherwise you'll just die in vain. Speaking of which, in this case, can we be considered to have redeemed ourselves? Can you please let us go?"

Lu Zhengdao said, "You have aided and abetted evil and committed countless evil deeds. I'm afraid you won't be forgiven so easily."

Su Mei said weakly, "We are just helping to take away some Yang energy. We are not like other demons who eat people... In order to hide my identity well in the county, I rarely even eat meat."

Lu Zheng remained unmoved. He took out a pen and paper and placed them in front of the two women. "Write down everything you know, including but not limited to which demonic forces she has traded with, and who her subordinates are..."

Qingxuan waved his hand and removed the thin sword energy threads on the two women.

Su Mei was finally able to move and couldn't help twisting her body.

However, Qingxuan's sword was suspended in the air, so she didn't dare to make exaggerated movements.

Zhu Sha said, "She has many subordinates. Some of them are demons that we have never seen before... and some have made deals with her."

Lu Zhengdao: "Just write down everything you know."

Upon hearing this, the two girls each took a pen and paper and began to write silently.

Lu Zheng turned to look at Qing Xuan and whispered, "Master, I'm afraid this matter is beyond our ability to resolve... It seems we need to report it to the county magistrate and then invite people from the state capital to come."

Lu Zheng didn't know much about the provincial capital of his jurisdiction, and didn't know if there was anyone strong enough in Hongzhou to deal with this evil dragon.

Lu Zheng did not avoid the two women when he spoke, which made the two women listen attentively.

Qingxuan thought deeply and decided that this matter should not be delayed any longer. If it was reported to the provincial capital, it was not certain that anyone would be sent in a short time.

I’m afraid that the evil dragon will turn into a dragon before the people above arrive.

Qingxuan couldn't help but think of Princess An Jing. She came here to look for dragon energy, and it was very likely that her target was the dragon.

The dragon has not yet broken through to the fifth realm, so it is still a great monster in the fourth realm.

If the eldest princess and he, plus Xiao Shan, were together, they might be able to fight.

Thinking of this, Qingxuan decided to send a message to Xiaoshan, inform him of the matter, and then make preparations for both situations.

Then, Qingxuan raised his hand and took out a talisman. His fingertips shone with spiritual light and injected a message into it.

Then, Qingxuan activated the talisman.

The talisman turned into a stream of light and headed towards Kaiyang County in the north.

Qingxuan said, "I've already informed Beishan of this matter and asked him to inform the county magistrate and then report it to the provincial capital. He will be here soon, and we will go find another person to at least prevent the dragon from breaking through."

Qing Xuan paused, then continued, "This trip is somewhat dangerous. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you, young friend. You should continue your study tour elsewhere."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng couldn't help but say, "Now that I know this, how can I shrink back? My Taoism is shallow, but I am willing to offer my humble help. You don't have to take care of me, Taoist Priest. I have some means of self-preservation."

Confucius said: A gentleman keeps his abilities hidden and waits for the right time to act. What harm is there in that?

Lu Zheng hid his state of mind just because he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

If you really encounter any evil people or evil things, you should stand up and defend justice.

Su Mei heard this and murmured in her heart, "Why are you, a scholar, joining in the fun? If she hadn't met this Taoist priest today, she felt that she could subdue Lu Zheng."

Qingxuan understood that Lu Zheng had a righteous spirit, so it was not easy to persuade him.

Qingxuan smiled and said, "Well, wait for Beishan to come over and we'll go kill the dragon together!"

Lu Zheng asked curiously again, "The Taoist priest just said he was looking for someone else. Could it be that there are some hidden masters in Kaiyang County?"

Speaking of which, in the entire Kaiyang County, apart from Xiaoshan, a Confucian and Taoist fourth-level scholar, Lu Zheng had never heard of any other fourth-level experts. Qingxuan smiled and kept it a secret, "You'll know when you find her."

Lu Zheng felt strange, but did not ask any further questions.

After a while, Su Mei whispered, "Can you give me a few more sheets of paper? I've finished writing..."

Lu Zheng looked at what Su Mei had written. It was densely packed and recorded a lot of things.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng took out some more paper and gave it to the two women.

As for those that were written, Lu Zheng and Qing Xuan picked them up and looked at them.

Qing Xuan looked at it and shook his head, "There are really many evil spirits that harm people in Kaiyang County."

"Someone who helps demons and ghosts to do evil." Lu Zheng's eyes were slightly cold.

Su Mei shrank her neck, fearing that the two would get angry and kill them with swords.

Zhu Sha finished writing first and handed the pen and paper back to Lu Zheng.

She said solemnly, "If you can truly kill that evil dragon, it will be considered revenge for us. We know our sins are grave. We have harmed the young master before, and death is inevitable. If there is an afterlife, we will repay you with a gift of grass and a ring."

Su Mei couldn't help but glance at Zhu Sha, thinking to herself, you want to die in a hurry, but she still wants to live, don't take her with you...

Lu Zheng looked at Zhu Sha and thought of Zhang Wei, whom he had saved.

If it weren't for me, Zhang Wei would have become a fierce ghost, just like Zhu Sha, who wouldn't be comfortable being a ghost and would have to work for her enemies.

Although Zhu Sha's words were sincere, Lu Zheng would not choose to forgive anyone on their behalf.

"Okay." Lu Zheng just replied softly.

……

In Beishan Academy, Xiaoshan was reading ancient books in the study.

Suddenly, a stream of light rushed into the room and surrounded him.

Xiao Shan raised his eyebrows, grabbed the flowing light, checked the contents of the paper talisman, and immediately frowned.

After reading the content, he quickly got up and took a few items from the study, then flew out of the academy.

In the county government office, Li Yuan was busy handling official business.

He glanced and saw Xiao Shan appear before him.

"President Xiao, why are you here..." Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Shan said: "Qing Xuan sent a message back..."

Xiao Shan quickly informed Li Yuan of the matter.

Li Yuan was shocked when he heard that there was actually a powerful demon close to the fifth realm causing trouble in secret.

"The situation is urgent. Please ask the county magistrate to report this matter as soon as possible. I have to rush to Qingxuan now to lend him a hand. The county magistrate will take care of the affairs in the county." Xiao Shan said seriously.

"Well... you guys better be careful." Li Yuan swallowed and felt a little nervous for a moment.

This matter is too serious. If any big mess happens, he will definitely suffer the consequences.

Xiao Shan said no more. He raised his hand, took out a scroll and unfolded it.

The scroll is full of spiritual charm, and there is a lifelike white crane on it.

The white crane suddenly turned its head and looked sideways, then flapped its wings and flew out of the painting, turning into a huge white crane.

Xiaoshan took a step, stepped onto the white crane, and flew south quickly.
