Chapter 1435 The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain (VI)
Chapter 1440 Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain (6)
Hearing this, Zhong Liquan hesitated for a moment and lowered his eyes.
If it's not Zhang Wu, how can we know what Zhang Wu is thinking?
It's just that what Zhang Wu has done now is highly praised by him, and he also hopes to promote a harmonious situation between the monarch and his ministers, so that both parties can work hard for the lofty ideal of "making the world free of confusion."
However, people's hearts cannot be equal, and the suspicion of the saint is not groundless.
When that time comes, although the great cause of the world has been accomplished, how will the private affairs of the family be dealt with? Even if Zhang Wu is indeed a "gong" and is willing to put swords and guns in the treasury and release horses to Nanshan for the sake of the people of the world, how can we ensure that after he is relieved of his authority, the saint will feel at ease and not kill him?
The cunning rabbit is dead, the running dogs are cooked, the birds are gone, and the good bow is hidden!
And if Zhang Wu also had selfish motives, wouldn't it be reasonable for the saints today to be afraid of his usurpation and consciously occupy a precarious position?
Zhong Liquan lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then said: "The poor Taoist is willing to persuade Zhang Wu to find out what he has in mind. After the matter is completed, it may not be impossible to put the swords and guns into the warehouse and release the horses to Nanshan."
As soon as he said these words, Emperor Xuanzong just glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze and said instead: "It's late at night and I'm a little tired.
The real person should go back and rest early. "
"Yes." Zhong Liquan bowed slightly, stood up from behind the low case, and slowly backed away. When he was about to leave the palace gate, he raised his head slightly and said to Emperor Xuanzong on the throne, "Pindao is also here at your majesty's place now." On the "Xuanmen Ranking", I want to have a battle with Zhang Wu tomorrow night to decide who is the best."
"oh?"
Xuanzong, who had closed his eyes and fell asleep, opened his eyes and looked at Zhongliquan at the entrance of the palace. He seemed to be a little more interested in Zhongliquan's words and asked him, "Isn't it true that you think this is the case?" At this time, we should be like the light and the dust, so that the bad commander can unite everything and rule the world?
Why do you have to fight with him now? "
Zhong Liquan said: "There are also many Xuanmen disciples on Zhongnan Mountain. The disciples here are all led by Pindao, but they will not easily follow others.
For this reason, there are many channels in the world, headed by Zhongnan Mountain.
Pindao fights with Zhang Wu, firstly to test how good his practice is and whether he can take on a big responsibility; secondly, if he can defeat Pindao, then all Taoist priests from Pindao's branch will also bow their heads and obey his orders. .
It would be nice to use Pindao's reputation as a stepping stone for him to reach higher places. "
When Xuanzong heard this, his eyes darkened and he waved his hand to Zhongliquan.
Zhongliquan returned the favor to Emperor Xuanzong and then retired.
In the Xingqing Palace, the maid Gong E walked in carrying a lamp and filled the dimming lamps with oil. The Xingqing Palace was quiet and bright, but Emperor Xuanzong's heart was filled with darkness.
He remained silent on the throne for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice to the tall eunuch waiting beside him: "Draw up the decree."
"promise."
The tall eunuch immediately agreed. He knelt down at the foot of the steps, spread out a large piece of paper, and dipped his brush into ink. At this moment, he heard the sage say: "Let the king charge a thousand Xuanjia troops and surround the bad guys' office tomorrow night. Order Lu Jing to lead the Jinwu Guards on your right to strengthen inspections inside and outside Chang'an tomorrow night;
Gao Miao, the minister of Zongzheng Temple, took the "Twelve Tablets of the Wise Emperor" from the ancestral temple and ordered the officials of Zongzheng Temple to hold the tablets and guard the surroundings of the Office of Delinquent Persons tomorrow and night.
This secret decree must not be announced to the outside world. "
When Emperor Xuanzong finished speaking, the tall eunuch was already sweating profusely. He tried hard to calm down and completed the writing of this secret decree. At this time, Emperor Xuanzong suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and asked the tall eunuch: "When can Zhang Guo and the Lushan Immortal arrive in Chang'an?"
"The old immortal replied before... He and the Lushan Immortal will probably arrive in Chang'an tomorrow night..."
"Tell him to take the Master Lushan to the Office of Delinquent Persons," Xuanzong said.
The tall eunuch agreed to the matter.
…
The next morning.
In the Office of Delinquent Persons.
Chu Xuan, Zhang Fang, Wei Hong and other unscrupulous people gathered in the backyard of the office to clean up the queue with serious expressions.
In the eyes of all the bad guys, there is a glimmer of hope.
At this time, the craftsmen of the Shengong Bureau carried out wooden boxes one after another from the thatched cottage and placed them on the table at the front of the queue. The number of wooden boxes corresponded to the number of delinquents of the Suppression Bureau currently lined up. .
The delinquents from the Suppression Bureau couldn't help but get even more excited when they saw the wooden boxes on the case.
After everything was sorted, Su Wu and Ji Xingzhou were surrounded by many craftsmen and stood at the front of the team of bad guys who were about to set off to 'Jingshi Mountain' to search for sneaky traces.
Su Wu's eyes fell on Chu Xuan. Chu Xuan saluted Su Wu and called Su Wu a "bad commander" on this occasion. All the bad guys followed suit and saluted Su Wu and Ji Xingzhou.
"Chu Xuan, I am ordering you to take people to Jingshi Mountain to solve three things." Su Wu said to Chu Xuan and others, "The first is to seize the 'Ziji Immortal Official' who is dormant in Jingshi Mountain—— The great sage Tai Sui is very sneaky in the area around Jingshi Mountain.
Now I give you thirteen sets of human armor and some talisman armor.
At that time, a human armor can be created to imprison Tai Sui and other evil spirits, and wipe out the evil spirits and disasters in Luoshui. "
Su Wu pointed at the wooden boxes on the table. When the delinquents heard this, their hearts were beating fast. The eyes of the other delinquents gathered here also flashed with light.
The things in the box are what the bad commander calls the "human armor", and the "talisman armor" made by the talisman carving and wishing curse carving.
The bad guys are now very familiar with the two types of armor, ‘Living Armor’ and ‘Talisman Armor’. They all know that if they can get a set of living armor, they can imprison the evil spirits that match the level of the living armor, and use it to protect themselves, suppress external evil, and be invincible, and cause very little harm to themselves!
As for the talisman armor, it is no different from the armor worn by the guards in the palace, and is also used to resist evil spirits, but the effect is far less magical than that of living armor.
Now, whether it is living armor or talisman armor, they are all extremely valuable things.
And these things can only be obtained when they are collected into the Suppression Bureau and go to various places to suppress ghosts.
Among the various tribes, there are many bad guys who are attacked by evil spirits and tortured in various ways, and the living armor can be said to be their life-saving straw!
According to the craftsmen in the current Divine Works Bureau, if one can fully comprehend the "true meaning of heaven and man" in the armor of the living person, and make oneself merge with the true meaning of heaven and man, and then try to tattoo the corresponding ink pattern on the body, then the armor of the living person can be just like one's own skin and flesh, and one can use it as if it were one's arm. Relying on the protection of this armor, one can actually increase lifespan!
Therefore, all the bad people in various departments are now full of expectations to join the Suppressing Ghost Bureau, and are eager to try!
Su Wu swept the faces of everyone present, and took in the expressions of many bad people.
