Chapter 1406: The first stranger!
Chapter 1411 The First Immortal!
"It seems that the Dingling Immortal has not revealed which sect or school's talisman and Taoist method is deeply connected with his Lushan Dao vein." Li Longji looked at the old Taoist priest, and after a moment of silence, he said, "In this case, we need to collect talismans from various sects and ask the old immortal to send them to Lushan as a gift.
Let the Dingling Immortal identify whether there are any talismans and Taoist methods related to the Lushan Dao vein.
This action can also show his sincerity."
Zhang Guo nodded slightly, quite agreeing with what Emperor Xuanzong said.
Emperor Xuanzong continued, "Using the 'evil spirits coming down' as an excuse, we will set up the 'Great Demon Suppression Ceremony' and order the disciples of various Taoist sects to write down their own practice talismans and spread them all over Chang'an to suppress the evil spirits, drive away the evil spirits, and bring blessings to the people."
Li Longji quickly established the method of collecting the practice talismans of the disciples of various Taoist sects. After he said this, he frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Zhang Wu is now close to Chang'an, and the 'Great Demon Suppression Ceremony' cannot avoid him. At that time, he also needs As the first person to present the talisman to boost the momentum of the "Demon Suppression Grand Ceremony", his reputation will certainly make the "Demon Suppression Grand Ceremony" spread faster among various sects and attract Taoists all over the world.
But such an action will also make his connection with the Taoist sect even closer.
This is not what I like. "
Even though Emperor Tang Minghuang was not happy about this inevitable event, in order to use the talismans of various sects to invite the Dingling Immortal on Mount Lu, he could only hold his nose and accept this matter.
He asked his big companion to prepare the decree and pass it out of the palace.
The tall and strong eunuch hurried away with the decree, and soon returned in a hurry, and also brought back another news to Emperor Xuanzong: the bad commander has now arrived in the capital.
The meritorious official who suppressed the strange incident on Mount Hua and made the disaster of "the Queen of Heaven's descent" disappear has returned. Emperor Xuanzong has no reason not to summon him, ask about the situation, and reward him.
So he had to ask his companion to pass a message to Chu Dou, asking him to invite the bad leader to the palace for a chat.
…
Su Wu and his entourage of dozens of riders dismounted in front of the bad people's residence, and the bad people patrolling around the residence followed and led the horses to the stables behind the residence.
At this time, there were craftsmen busy everywhere in front and behind the residence.
The building that broke ground more than half a month ago has now built a solid foundation, and many woods are piled up on the open ground, waiting to be built into various components of the house.
Waves of black smoke drifted out from the backyard of the residence and filled the sky.
Su Wu led Tao Zu, Danjia and his entourage through the buildings that were gradually taking shape in front of the residence and walked into the residence. Most of the leaders of the bad people were sitting in the houses of the residence. People came and went in the courtyard of the residence. When they saw Su Wu walking in from the main gate of the residence, they also stopped and saluted Su Wu.
They had different expressions.
From their subtle changes in expression, Su Wu could also sense that the current ‘Bad People’s Guile Suppression Division’ had quietly changed during the time he left Chang’an.
Xuanzong once again reached out to Su Wu’s backyard.
Su Wu smiled, but he didn’t care much about Xuanzong’s quietly placing people in the Guile Suppression Division. Now that the ‘Five Prisons’ had taken shape, he brought back the carving saint ‘Yang Huizhi’, who was as famous as Wu Daozi, to the Guile Suppression Division. He had previously envisioned that the current ten-department structure of the Bad People would be completely dismantled, and turned to a structure with the ‘Divine Works Bureau’, ‘Guardian Suppression Bureau’, and ‘Guardian Prison’ as the core. Now there is a foundation for standing.
“Bad People’s Commander.”
A middle-aged man in black clothes and a smock covered with carbon ash passed by Su Wu expressionlessly, bowed his head casually to Su Wu, and was about to pass by him.
In Su Wu's eyes, a golden copper luster flashed for a moment, and then returned to normal in an instant.
—— He smelled the aura of the 'Earth-phase Dragon Vein' from this middle-aged man. The origin of this middle-aged man is self-evident. He must be a disciple of the 'Hualong Sect'.
After the death of Wang Ju, the head of the Hualong Sect, the entire Hualong Sect was also destroyed, and all the disciples of the Hualong Sect were treated as bad people.
The disciples of this sect use the Chang'an Hualong Temple as the sect's main altar. Most of the disciples gather in the Hualong Temple. Only when they need to draw the energy of the earth-phase dragon vein and accumulate the dragon vein, will they leave the main altar and travel around the world. This sect became famous because of Wang Ju.
And Wang Ju once assisted Emperor Xuanzong, and he had the merit of following the dragon.
Although the entire Hualong Sect has been dismantled, the vague connection between Hualong disciples and Xuanzong cannot be severed.
Xuanzong did not say a word about Wang Ju being beheaded and the dismantling of the Hualong Sect. Perhaps he had a hidden intention, and at a critical moment, he wanted to use the hatred between these Hualong disciples and Su Wu, which was "destroying the family and destroying the clan", to defeat Su Wu in return.
But Su Wu did not care about it.
He turned and looked at the middle-aged man who hurried away with a cold face.
The middle-aged man saw Su Wu, and he could be said to be "enmity when enemies meet", but he knew that the situation was over now, and he could never be a match for the powerful Bad Leader, so he had to hide his hatred in his heart and walked past Su Wu with a cold face.
He did not expect that Su Wu would suddenly pay attention to him, so when he felt the sudden silence around him and the inexplicable eyes of the people around him falling on him, he panicked for a while and walked faster.
At this time, the voice of the Bad Leader came from behind him, directly into his mind: "Are you a disciple of the Hualong Sect in the past?
What's your name?"
The middle-aged man's expression froze, and then he stopped.
He took a deep breath in his heart, turned around and bowed to Su Wu again, lowered his head and said: "My name is Zhao Yong."
"Zhao Yong, which department of bad guys are you working in today?" Su Wu asked again.
"Today I am working in the Metallurgical Department to smelt ore and temper gold and iron." Zhao Yong still buried his head, with deep resentment hidden in his voice.
He used to be the second-generation disciple of the Hualong Sect, and was a strong competitor for the second-generation leader of the Hualong Sect after the king took over. Now he is labeled as a bad guy, but he can only do the work of a blacksmith, which is the same as before. The life of rich clothes and fine food was completely different. How could this make him angry and resentful?
Hearing his answer, Su Wu's smile grew thicker, and he nodded and said: "Hualong disciples can cultivate dragon veins, and now they are working in the Metallurgical Department, so they can make full use of their talents.
If you do this job seriously, it will be more beneficial to your own practice if you do it well. "
When Zhao Yong heard the bad handsome words, he felt his temples pounding, and his face that was blackened by the charcoal fire turned black and red.
He felt that every word Su Wu said now was the winner's mockery of the loser!
Being a blacksmith, can you cultivate yourself? !
What nonsense!
Zhao Yong's change of mind was reflected in Su Wu's eyes.
Su Wu didn't enlighten him, but instead asked him: "When I left the library, there was no 'Metallurgical Department'. Where did this Metallurgical Department come from, and which department of bad people is under the jurisdiction of it?"
The second generation disciple of Hualong Sect was still in a daze and did not respond to Su Wu for a while.
However, there was a bad person next to him who saw the opportunity quickly and quickly replied to Su Wu: "General, the Metallurgical Department is under the jurisdiction of the Shengong Bureau. Under the Shengong Bureau, there are also the Hangui Department, the Tiangong Department, the Fulu Department, and the Yuanseng Department. There are seven families in total including Swords, Swords, and Dragons, plus Metallurgy.
These seven subjects were originally divided under the Hangui Bureau by the 'Head of Hangui Bureau'.
At that time, many colleagues, monks and Taoists, as well as some juniors and friends of the director of the Hangui Bureau in the world were dispatched to join the Seven Branches.
Later, the director directly merged the seven departments into the Shengong Bureau. "
The head of Hangui Bureau is ‘Ji Xingzhou’.
Su Wu originally set up two major organizations, Shengong and Hangui. Yang Huizhi was appointed as the head of the Shengong bureau, and Ji Xingzhou was appointed as the head of the Hangui bureau. In the Hangui bureau, he was researching swords that inherited the charm of heavenly principles, but he suddenly fell into the Hangui bureau. Zhongxing has set up many departments, so that the training of the entire armor and weapons has initially formed a complete system. Su Wu has done what he originally intended to do - break up the bad guys now, absorb talents, and continuously fill Su Wu. Among the newly constructed 'three rounds'.
However, why did Ji Xingzhou directly and completely merge the seven subjects he had established into the Shengong Bureau?
What new changes have occurred?
The merger of the Shengong Bureau and the Ghost Bureau did not affect Su Wu's idea, and it even coincided with Su Wu's idea of the bad guys suppressing the spies.
Su Wu glanced sideways at Yang Huizhi who was standing behind him, then turned to the bad guys around him and asked, "The head of the Hangui Bureau has now merged the seven departments into the Shengong Bureau. Is the Shenggong Bureau under his control?"
The bad people around shook their heads.
Someone replied: "Chief Ji is currently only in the Hangui Department, leading many colleagues to smelt armor day and night. The staff of other departments in the Shengong Bureau are also performing their respective duties.
There is currently no one in charge of the entire Divine Works Bureau..."
The person who spoke hesitated for a moment, then replied truthfully to Su Wu: "But a few days ago, bad guys brought 'Wu Daoxuan' back to the library from the outskirts of Chang'an.
Director Ji once promised him the position of director of the Shengong Bureau, thus keeping him strong in the Shengong Bureau. "
Wu Daozi?
Director of the Divine Works Bureau?
When Su Wu heard this, he suddenly became very interested in the various changes within the Shengong Bureau.
Yang Huizhi, who was standing behind him, looked slightly surprised when he heard the bad guy's reply - the bad guy had promised him the title of "Head of the Divine Works Bureau" before, and now Wu Daoxuan was forcibly taken into the Divine Works Bureau. Among them, he was also promised the position of "Head of the Divine Works Bureau".
How could a divine engineering bureau have two directors?
If it were Yang Huizhi in the past, hearing these words, he would inevitably feel sad and feel that he was incomparable to his senior brother Wu Daozi.
However, after Su Wu's guidance, his character had undergone a completely different change than before. Now that he was facing this incident, although he was slightly surprised, there was no wave of emotion in his heart.
Whether he is the director of the Divine Works Bureau or not, and whether he can compare with his senior brothers, are no longer that important to him.
"Where is Ji Xingzhou now?
Then where is 'Wu Daoxuan'? "Su Wu asked again.
Someone pointed to the backyard of the building where black smoke was spewing out, and replied: "Master Ji forced Wu Daoxuan to train his armored soldiers in the backyard day and night. They are obsessed with this and have not left the backyard for several days."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Wu suddenly felt as if the fate here had been frozen, forming a thick layer of ice!
The laws of nature, which were originally operating in an orderly manner, were now like a man who was walking slowly on the road. A hand was pressed on his back and he was pushed hard!
The laws of heaven were temporarily disturbed, but returned to normal after a moment!
In the corner of the courtyard wall of the library, the weeds that broke out of the ground were covered with some silk charm that flowed out during the natural chaos. The grass stems were covered with frost, and they withered and died in an instant!
There was a layer of white sweat on the backs of many bad people present!
It was as if a cold air suddenly froze the whole world, and then suddenly flew away in an instant!
That faint trace of charm disappeared without a trace in the backyard of the building!
After that, everyone in the front yard suddenly heard wild laughter coming from the backyard.
Ji Xingzhou's laughter was full of ecstasy: "Oh - it's done, it's done! I'm a stranger!"
Stranger A? !
Su Wu raised his eyebrows!
The expressions of many bad people present changed!
They knew that the purpose of the bad commander to set up the "Divine Work Bureau" and the "Ghost Bureau" was to forge a kind of armor that could completely turn the evil spirits into human use, but could not hurt people. This kind of armor is called "Living Armor" - now hearing Ji Xingzhou's words, I also know that the "Living Armor" may have been truly forged!
The sound from the backyard just stopped.
Another bad person passed through the main gate of the pavilion and hurried to Su Wu. After saluting, he said: "General, General Chu Dou conveyed the will of the saint, please come to the palace to talk!"
Su Wu raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The will of the saint came at the right time.
Please invite General Chu Dou in and ask him to watch with me, the first living armor forged by the Divine Work Bureau now!"
...
The backyard of the pavilion.
In the center of the thatched hut, filled with ash and several iron stoves, many people were banging and hammering around the iron stoves and iron felts.
The iron table was surrounded by people with dark faces and wearing black smocks.
Although the hut was filled with black smoke, it could not hide the light in the eyes of those dark faces.
The people gathered in this hut included monks with scars on their heads, Taoists with mixed buns, and former bad people.
At this time, everyone's faces were full of smiles.
The hut was full of laughter.
"This sect's armor used a total of 728 pieces of armor. These 728 pieces of armor were all forged by our Hualong disciples who drew the power of the dragon veins and worked hard!"
"We Hualong disciples have also made great efforts!
This kind of armor that 'saves lives and benefits the people' can be successfully forged, and our Hualong disciples have contributed a lot!"
The fire here was blown by the wind, the sound of the blazing fire, and the vibration of the armor and soldiers being forged in the surrounding huts could not suppress the joyful voices of the crowd. Among them, a Taoist with a Hunyuan bun spoke loudly with an ecstatic look on his face. He kept taking credit for the 'Hualong disciples' lineage he was in, but his words did not cause dissatisfaction among the people around him, but instead ushered in waves of kind echoes.
Such echoes made many Hualong disciples more satisfied, and some even wiped tears secretly.
"We, the Buddhist disciples, also bless the armor pieces day and night. All 728 pieces of armor pieces are in the Iron Buddha Temple, Songshan Temple and other temples, and are baptized by Buddhist incense..."
"On the leather armor, there are talismans of our Taoism!"
"Yes! Among them is a talisman of our Maoshan Sect!"
The crowd shouted loudly. The excitement that originally came from day and night training and finally forging the first living armor was dissipated a lot in the impact of various voices.
The crowd secretly had tit-for-tat intentions.
At this time, Ji Xingzhou's voice suddenly came from the center of the crowd: "What are you fighting for?
If I don't work hard, you can't integrate everything and forge this sect's living armor!
I have the greatest contribution!"
As soon as he spoke, everyone was silent.
