Chapter 370 Asking for help
Chi Xuan didn't know how he walked out of the yamen.
He has long lost his original calmness and high-spiritedness.
It is undeniable that although he once seemed to be a downtrodden Taoist, he never felt that he was downtrodden, nor did he feel that he lived in a patched Taoist temple, nor did he feel that his Taoist cultivation was not strong enough.
He looked back at the huge county government office behind him, like a giant beast lying in the middle of Jicheng, gasping for breath.
Intimidating.
Chi Xuan's figure was slightly stooped. He shouldn't have had too high thoughts about the imperial court, but he had tried everything but could not get Zhang Xincheng back. He began to doubt what he had done.
"Pindao has saved many people, you can even say a lot."
"Even if they will die later, they will also die in front of Pindao, or they will grow old, die of illness, or be helpless. Pindao doesn't seem to pay too much attention to them, as if I have understood the life and death in this world."
"I tried my best, but when I was powerless, I chose to watch calmly."
"After joining the county government, I became somewhat sober. I have tried my best as before."
"The world is like this, it's the court's inaction, it's..." Chi Xuan cursed a lot, and murmured to himself as if he was a little happy: "Demon Lord, I really don't know, what's the reason? ?”
Tushanjun sat in front of the stone table, with the locust tree covering half of the courtyard behind him.
He didn't dwell too much, but said: "Those people, you are not in the mood to change their fate, but that child is different. You actually thought that you changed the fate of that child."
"When something goes wrong in the life you planned for him, you blame yourself."
"You will feel that you have done something wrong."
"I understand you."
Tu Shanjun did not lie.
If you are a mortal, doubting yourself is just a simple matter. But when it happens to a monk, doubting himself will cause his own way to waver, and the chain reaction will be huge.
It’s no wonder that predecessors have commented on the scriptures, and you must not be too attached to it during your practice.
As for the emotions between people, I can't explain it clearly. But a kind-hearted person will always put all the faults on himself. I feel that it's because I changed the other person's fate.
More, feel guilty and blame yourself.
These days, Chi Xuan has been too busy to think about these things.
And the moment he walked out of the county government office and knew that he had no strength to borrow, he truly faced himself.
"I can't help you. The imperial government doesn't want to help you."
"With your power, you can't find it."
"Only I can help you."
Tu Shanjun found a way for Chi Xuan. When Chi Xuan walked out of the county office and asked for a conversation with him, Tu Shanjun had already guessed that Chi Xuan was going to seek his help.
Now, just a little help is needed.
No matter what the final result is, you want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when you die.
Chi Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly: "I didn't expect that Pindao would one day ask the devil for help."
Tushanjun was tired of explaining his identity.
He felt that he really fit the term devil.
He had killed many people, many demons and monsters, many of whom were innocent.
There were even some people who had a positive influence, but just because they had a rift with him, he killed them and incorporated them into the soul banner to avoid future troubles.
So what about the devil, he was tired of not cutting the roots and causing his own loss.
He sneered and said: "It's hard to distinguish between good and evil in this world. You have only lived for a few years and you feel this way."
Tu Shanjun himself did not dare to judge whether others were demons. The more he practiced, the more he felt insignificant. The more books he read, the more he understood his own limitations.
Chi Xuan was surprised. At first he thought Tu Shanjun was a serious devil, but after getting along with him for several months, even though they met very little, he felt that this man who had achieved great things was someone whose magnanimity alone was enough to be envied.
He actually envied Tu Shanjun.
I have my own Taoist temple, and there is a big city at the foot of the mountain. I can use my free time to practice arithmetic, change cups and cups, and read books under the big locust tree. If I can recruit two or three disciples and have a legacy, this life will really be worth it.
He cupped his hands and bowed with long body: "In this case, please help me, Demon Lord."
"But Pindao has his word first, and he will not break the seal and let the devil out. One day, the devil will break free from his shackles and bring disaster to the people, and Pindao will risk his life to stop it."
Tu Shanjun looked at him like a fool.
No wonder Chi Xuan didn't agree for a long time. It turned out that Chi Xuan himself had misunderstood.
Tu Shanjun did not explain, but the message fell into Chi Xuan's ears: "Go back to the tavern."
Listening to Tu Shanjun's cold voice, Chi Xuan suddenly felt his heart calm down.
As if he had found his backbone, his waist straightened as well. He jumped onto the tile roof, and then sped away with the help of mana.
A few moments.
The figure has landed in the tavern.
Chi Xuan pushed the door open and walked in. Old Chen who was waiting in the tavern hurriedly greeted him and asked nervously and eagerly: "Taoist Priest, what did the Yamen say?"
"I'm trying my best to find it." Chi Xuan replied perfunctorily.
Then he strode out of the back hall and said, "Follow me."
Mrs. Chen Li held the little one in her arms, and when she saw Chi Xuan and Old Man Chen walking in, she put the child down in her arms.
"Take a hair from the child."
Chi Xuan listened to the plain words in his ears, then plucked out a piece of hair from the little baby and put it in his hand.
"I'll lend you your magic power."
A slightly illusory figure appeared in front of Chi Xuan, stretching out his ghostly hand to twist his hair.
The lips moved slightly, and the command spell was executed.
The hand seals are changed, the fingers form a pagoda shape, and the inside of the palm is arched.
All I could hear was: "The blood curse chases the soul."
"disease."
Chi Xuan felt that his magic power was disappearing rapidly, and 30% of it disappeared in an instant.
The ghost hand of the illusory figure opened up, and a bloody falcon appeared in his hand, and then the illusory figure disappeared.
Chi Xuan grabbed the falcon and heard a voice in his ear: "Go out of the city and release the command falcon. It will take you to find the child."
Chi Xuan did not dare to neglect, and immediately said goodbye to Chen and his wife, and walked out of the long street.
The streets of Jicheng were slightly depressed today. He didn't pay much attention and went straight to the gate of the city wall.
The officer guarding the city recognized him and quickly registered him.
Just about to leave the city.
The general who was galloping on horseback stopped Chi Xuan, got off his horse and said, "Your Majesty the County Lord has given an order to ask the Taoist Priest to return to the Yamen to discuss the epidemic together. I hope that the Taoist Priest, for the sake of the tens of thousands of people in the city, will Will return later."
As soon as these words came out, the people entering and leaving the city gate immediately turned their attention.
"I have something urgent, so I would like to thank the county magistrate for your kindness, but I also have no idea about the strange disease."
The general cupped his hands and said, "I heard that Taoist Master Fu Shui has a suppressive effect on the epidemic."
"My lord, the county magistrate, has repeatedly asked me to invite the Taoist priest back. My lord, the county lord, has said that I will try my best to help the Taoist priest find him. In the afternoon, he made a mistake and I hope that the Taoist priest will not mind him."
Chi Xuan stood there without answering.
What he said about having no clue was true.
Even if you stay in the city, you can't solve the disease unless you ask the devil again.
Seeing that Chi Xuan did not agree, the general said quickly: "Does the Taoist priest still need to consider whether thousands of people or one child is more important? The lives of the people in Jicheng depend on the Taoist priest's thoughts. between."
Chi Xuan suddenly smiled.
He looked at the general with a mocking look: "In Pindao? No, in the court! Pindao is just a foreign magician, how can he shoulder the responsibility of saving the common people. Pindao believes that with Magistrate Hu's Taoism and cultivation, he is just a mere magician. Minor illnesses are nothing to worry about."
"I have something important to do, so I won't accompany you."
Chi Xuan fluttered his sleeves and left without staying much.
He already knew the virtues of a court official and how he could stay. He couldn't even save a child, so how could he save so many people? That was not his responsibility, that was the responsibility of the court.
Go out of the city and release the bloody falcon hidden in your sleeve robe.
"This is the Sky Control Talisman."
"Thank you, Demon Lord."
Chi Xuan held his hand. As his magic power disappeared, the spiritual talisman appeared in his hand. When he saw the spiritual talisman, he was suddenly surprised: "Is this the spiritual talisman?"
The spiritual talisman in front of me is a whole piece, neatly stacked.
When he unfolded it, he discovered that it was actually a Taoist robe.
A Taoist robe made of spiritual talismans.
The outer layer is integrated, and the inner lining is spliced with different air-controlling talismans, and finally forms a complete large talisman.
Chi Xuan put the spiritual talisman Taoist robe on himself, and the spiritual talisman was attached to Chi Xuan's Taoist robe.
As a little mana was input into it to activate the spiritual talisman, Chi Xuan felt that his body was floating in the air. He did not need his own mana support at all, as long as he controlled the spiritual talisman, it was enough.
"What a fuss."
Tu Shanjun said calmly that cultivation requires flexibility, and the use of spiritual talismans is not limited to this. It was like a giant ship in Sunset Mountain. He could cut it down with one sword. If he hadn't been able to withstand it, the mountain-protecting formation would have been pushed away.
These small changes are not surprising.
But it was the Yamen County Magistrate’s attitude that made Tu Shanjun feel like something was wrong/
He has seen the role of the yamen. Logically speaking, if the yamen can control the epidemic and save thousands of people, the harvest of incense and willpower will be a lot.
Why do you want to drag Chi Xuan in, and even force him with righteousness?
This move itself has big problems.
That is to say, I am here to pursue the missing child. I have no time to deal with the county government in Ji County, otherwise I should collect all the incense gathered in Ji County.
"go."
The falcon flapped its wings and flew high, and Chi Xuan also floated up. He opened his Taoist robe, and his whole body seemed to be flying in the air. The magic talisman held up the air shield, blocking the strong wind in front of Chi Xuan.
In half an hour, three hundred miles have passed.
Chi Xuan looked a little surprised: "Is this Long County?"
After seeing the boundary monument, Chi Xuan had completely confirmed the boundary. This was Long County. The falcons were hovering above him, and a voice sounded in his ears again: "The child is not far away."
Having said that, the situation does not seem optimistic.
The soul-chasing falcon is about to collapse, and there are countless cracks on its body, which shows that the master who has been subjected to the command spell is not in good condition.
