This investigation made the ancestors of the Thirteenth Family feel a sense of frustration. They originally planned to get a feel for the creator Xiao Wu before deciding whether to make a move or not.
Chen Shi and Li Tianqing committed many evil deeds, including the Red Horse Thieves in Qingzhou, who took over the spiritual gardens and medicine fields of the Thirteenth Family. These spiritual medicines were apparently the property of thousands of families, but in fact they were used to extend the lives of their ancestors. Chen Shi and Li Tianqing both
The elixir was not completely taken away, only one-fifth was taken away, leaving four-fifths for them. But this move shortened the lives of these people by more than twenty years!
How can they tolerate it?
In addition to Chen Shi, we must first touch the bottom of Creation Xiao Wu.
The purpose of their coming out of seclusion and going to Xijing was to get to know the creator Xiao Wu.
They found out the bottom of Creator Xiao Wu. But their bottom was also found out by Creator Xiao Wu. This should not have happened.
With the strength of the Thirteenth Family, they will never be tested to find out the depth. However, the creator Xiaowu is too evil!
The battle in the streets of Xijing made them, these fairy-like figures, feel like old men and old ladies fighting, and their all-powerful magical powers became shirtless.
There were also those who were knocked over, kicked down, had their fingers twisted, toes stepped on, their eyes and noses picked out, and others were asked to be ejaculated, and all kinds of despicable methods were used. Even though they were desperate, they also used some tricks.
As a means. The most important thing is that Xiao Wu, the creator, can leave whenever he wants. They are extremely powerful people, but they can't keep him.
They could only rely on guessing as to how injured Creation Xiaowu was and how serious it was. This was what worried them the most.
"I've lost face." Fei Yuji, the ancestor of the Fei family, sighed and said with waning interest. Everyone also felt that they had lost face.
Ma Jun suggested: "It's rare for you fellow Taoists to see you, why not find a place with beautiful mountains and clear water to sit down for a while and have a drink."
The ancestors of the major families nodded one after another. Now that Creator Xiaowu has left, they don’t know how injured he is. They don’t dare to be alone, lest they be attacked by Creator Xiaowu. If there was an existence like Chen Yindu, they wouldn’t be like this
Worry, after all, Chen Yin is arrogant and arrogant, but Creation Xiaowu is obviously not.
Creation Xiaowu is like Chen Yindu in his youth, and Chen Yindu is not bound by moral emotions. They must get together to discuss countermeasures, and they can no longer fight independently.
At the entrance of Wenchang Lane, the child holding an umbrella was still looking around, waiting for the scholar to come and take back his umbrella. His friends ran over and asked him to play Cuju, but he still refused. The elderly people beat the scholar in a group.
It's been a while since the incident happened, but the scholar hasn't come yet.
He was about to put the umbrella against the wall when the scholar came over in the rain. "Your umbrella!" the child said excitedly.
Creation Xiao Wu took the umbrella, and the child ran towards his companions excitedly. Suddenly he stopped and turned around and said: "In the future, when you fight, you can't use one hand just to look cool! If you use one hand, there will be many people."
, I will beat you to the ground. You have to use both hands to catch an old man and beat him until he is crippled. Other old men will not dare to beat you when they see how fierce you are!"
Creation Xiao Wu looked solemn: "I have been taught. How do you know this?"
"We play Cuju on the streets. When we meet other Cuju players, we compete with each other. If we can't compete, we fight. The more we get beaten, the more we understand." Xiaowu, the creator, nodded lightly, thinking that what he said made sense, and said: " I’ll treat you to soy milk.”
"No!" The child ran away.
Creation Xiao Wu was rejected by him, but he was not angry. He held an umbrella and went to Wuchang Street to drink soy milk, feeling a little melancholy: "I said that if they fight with me, the power of their magical powers will not be leaked at all. However, it was still leaked. One The passers-by who broke up the fight were shattered into pieces. I lost."
He was seriously injured, but what troubled him the most was the death of the passerby who tried to stop the fight.
Although he didn't die in his hands, his power was leaked, which showed that his skills were not good enough and his control was not subtle enough. He was good at everything, but his requirements were too high.
When I was doing research with Chen Yindu in the past, Chen Yindu also mentioned this, feeling that he was too demanding on details and was biased in major matters. Xiaowu, the creator, was sitting in the soybean milk shop, putting away his umbrella, thinking Said: "But I just can't change it."
He was still seriously injured, but he was not serious enough to die in the soy milk shop, so he still had to drink soy milk. This was one of the few pleasures he had since entering Beijing.
In Xijing, many eyes were watching him, but he didn't care.
Former Governor Feng Tianhuan and Eunuch Feng came to Yan Mansion again to look for Yan Xianzhi, the former cabinet scholar.
Eunuch Feng was sitting in a wheelchair. There were two maids squatting beside the wheelchair, trying their best to rub his paralyzed legs. "Master Yan, have you seen the incident where the ancestor of the family beat Xiao Wu?" Eunuch Feng asked.
Yan Xianzhi sighed, feeling a little lethargic, and said, "Look. It's just dozens of old men and women beating up a young scholar. He's in the Mahayana realm, he's a peerless master, and his face is completely gone." He couldn't laugh or cry. There was something else in this. The four ancestors of his Yan family were also beaten with bruises on their noses and faces, and suffered many wounds on their bodies.
As a former cabinet bachelor, Yan Xianzhi is also a being who has returned to the virtual realm. Although he is not as good as the ancestors of the family, his vision and insight are still there. He can see that although this battle looks like a street fight between old men and old ladies, it is actually extremely dangerous. After all. , even Zhen Xiniu Xinzhou's fortune treasure has sensed the threat and its power. Anyone who is not blind will know that this battle is no small matter.
Eunuch Feng turned sideways and said: "Your Excellency resigned from the position of cabinet bachelor before Xiaowu arrived in Xijing, so as not to take unnecessary risks and gain infamy. Today's cabinet bachelor is Zhang Fuzheng, and it is he who has gained infamy. , he is also the one who is in trouble. After all the troubles created by Xiao Wu, the Thirteenth Aristocratic Family is afraid that they will compromise with him and explain who took away the innate Tao Fetus."
He smiled slightly and said: "Master Yan, if you don't take back the position of Grand Scholar in the Cabinet, Master Zhang will be able to take his seat securely." Yan Xianzhi smiled and said, "Is Master Zhang's position really secure?"
He picked up the tea cup and drank tea, and said with a smile: "When he is helpless, he will beg me to go back and become this great bachelor. But Mr. Feng, how can you get the East Factory back? How can you return to the position of the Grand Eunuch of the Palm Print?" Eunuch Feng raised his leg and kicked aside a maid who was rubbing his leg, and said with a smile: "I was crippled by Chen Yindu, and my hard work has paid off. Is it reasonable to go back and do the handprint again?"
Yan Xianzhi stared at his legs and said, "Your legs have been disabled for ten years, right? It's not healed yet?" "It's not healed," Eunuch Feng said seriously.
Yan Xianzhi looked at the maid who was kicked aside by him and said, "It's not going to go away if you say it's not going to go away. The headaches at the moment are created by Xiaowu and Chunwei, and Master Zhang can't deal with them. He If we can't get it right, we have to find someone to clean up the mess."
Eunuch Feng said: "Master Yan, who will be the number one scholar in this year's new subject?"
Yan Xianzhi said angrily: "I didn't pass the general examination, how do I know who is the top scholar in the new subject?"
He paused and said: "Young Master's voice is very high. The head of my Yan family sent a message saying that they have discussed with the clan elders. If Young Master competes for the top prize, the Yan family will retreat and all the stars will support the moon." Eunuch Feng raised his eyebrows and smiled. Said: "The Yan family is full of stars, what about other aristocratic families?"
Yan Xianzhi smiled and scolded: "You, the eunuch, like to inquire blindly, how can I know the decisions of other aristocratic families? But... the thirteen aristocratic families are in the same spirit, I think this is the decision of my Yan family, and the same is true of other aristocratic families. "
He waved his hand and asked the girls who were serving them to step back, and said leisurely: "Young master needs great momentum and momentum. He needs to find a reason for his rise so that all people can admire him and gather people's hearts. Only then can he have a chance to ascend to the great treasure and revive the Ming Dynasty. The Thirteenth Aristocratic Family also needs a leader who can inspire and get rid of the constraints from above."
Eunuch Feng was solemn and silent for a moment, then asked: "Can it be done?" Yan Xianzhi fell into silence and drank tea slowly.
He put down the tea cup and said softly: "If you don't do it, it will never happen. The era of the true king has ended for more than six thousand years. The sky is changing, and it is different from the past. Xiniu Xinzhou needs a new true king." Eunuch Feng spit out a mouthful With turbid air, he tapped his legs lightly, and there was light dancing in his eyes.
There was no chance before, but now, things are changing!
There must always be someone sitting on the empty true king's throne in the imperial court! The young master is the true king elected by the Thirteenth Family!
"So, where is Chen Shi?"
Eunuch Feng asked, "I heard that Chen Shi has also come to take the imperial examination. If you pass the imperial examination, you will have to take the imperial examination. There can only be one number one scholar. If you give it to the young master, you cannot give it to him." Yan Xianzhi said: "Then Chen Shi can only be the second best. "
Eunuch Feng said with a smile: "I heard that the young master and Chen Shi had a serious quarrel. The master of the master's assistant palace died because of this. Do you think that Chen Shi is willing to be a junior and be the second best person?"
Yan Xianzhi brought the tea and was about to drink it, but found that there was no water in the cup. He put down the cup and said calmly: "So what if he doesn't become a young man? The fact that he can pass the exam is a reward given to him by the imperial court, otherwise he would still be just a scholar. To give him second place is already a favor from the court." He clapped his hands and asked the maid to come over and refill the tea.
Eunuch Feng covered the tea bowl, indicating that he did not need to add water, and said with a smile: "There are more than a hundred demons in my body. If they make trouble, they will die for you. What can you do?" Yan Xianzhi smiled slightly: "This is It’s a headache for Bachelor Zhang, I’m at home now.”
"Slippery! So slick!"
Eunuch Feng laughed and said, "If you can't solve it when Zhang Fuzheng comes to beg you, you can get your bachelor's degree back and still be the chief minister of the cabinet!" Xiniu Xinzhou Central Wasteland, Nanfeng Province.
Nanfeng Province is famous for its southerly wind blowing all year round. There are three strange winds here.
The first monster is the strong wind. The sound of the wind is like the roar of cattle and the roar of dragons. The strong wind passes by, flying sand and rocks, uprooting trees, and rolling boulders weighing thousands of pounds as fast as a galloping horse. The second monster is the strong wind. Often without warning, the wind suddenly blows, making people Hard to guard against.
Three monsters, there are strange things in the wind. People often see groups of strange beasts in the wind, running wildly on the wind. Some people see tall and thin figures in the wind, motionless in the wind. There are also some evil spirits in the wind that appear and disappear. .Chen Shi found an ancient temple, drew the wind-fixing talisman, and hung it on the four walls of the ancient temple.
Black Pot looked for firewood and set up a bonfire. Hu Feifei shook the wooden rocker, and the flea pig was spinning on the bonfire. It had been roasted to a yellow color and was sizzling with oil.
While swallowing her saliva, Nannan used a brush to brush the pulp on Flea Pig's body.
They found some sour fruit pulp outside. After taking a bite, their mouths were full of sour taste and they kept drooling. But it would be good to use to rinse pigs with fleas. Sun Yisheng glanced outside and saw that the sky was yellow, like a desert drifting. In the sky, he said: "I'm afraid there will still be wind."
In the past few days, Heiguo took his spirit to the underworld and used the ram's horn celestial lamp to help treat his injuries. The injuries of his spirit were much relieved. At this time, human voices came from outside.
Chen Shi looked outside and saw many candidates rushing to take the exam. There were dozens of them, mostly poor scholars carrying book boxes. When these poor scholars saw this ancient temple, they couldn't help but be happy and hurriedly Pick up the pace.
Although Nanfeng Province is the hinterland of Xiniu Xinzhou, it is extremely dry, making it difficult to grow crops, and its population is very small. Only the provincial capital has about a million people, and it is difficult to see people in other places. The provincial post roads have been in disrepair for a long time and have been broken. , if you rush on such a yellow sandy sky, it is easy to lose your way. This ancient temple is one of the few places where they stay.
Chen Shi opened the door and let them in, saying, "I drew the wind-fixing talisman, so you don't need to hang the talisman anymore." These wealthy men entered the temple and thanked them one after another.
Some people stamped their feet and dusted themselves off, but were kicked out by several female officials. They laughed and said, "Go outside and beat them. Didn't you see people cooking?" So they ran outside the temple and dusted themselves off, and then came in. .
Chen Shi looked at these people and saw that their faces were red and weathered, and their lips were dry and cracked. They must have been traveling in Nanfeng Province for a long time. "Where are you from?"
Chen Shi smiled and said, "The accent doesn't sound like they are from the same place."
A woman went to the door, untied her hair, shook the sand out of her hair, and said with a smile: "We come from several provinces, Zhenzhou, Guizhou, and Bi Province. We came here years ago!" She had a strong accent, so you have to be careful. Only by listening can you understand what she says.
Another person said: "We were not originally in the same group, but when we got together, we became a gang. There were originally hundreds of people, but they were possessed by evil spirits, encountered several robbers, and died with only a few left." Chen Shi Seeing that they had no water, she took water from the small courtyard and gave it to them. Hu Feifei cut the roasted flea pork and gave some to them.
Everyone thanked him one after another and sat on the ground to eat.
The female candidate put her hair in a bun and asked, "Brother, judging from your accent, are you from Xinxiang?" Chen Shi said, "You are from Xinxiang."
Someone was puzzled and asked: "Why did Xinxiang take this road? Isn't it a detour?" Chen Shi said: "The other road goes through Gongzhou, which is not very safe."
Everyone suddenly realized and said one after another: "It is indeed unsafe to go to Gongzhou. It is better to go farther than to go around Gongzhou." The wind started blowing outside, and everyone hurriedly closed the doors and windows.
Chen Shi hung wind-fixing charms on the four walls. Even if the doors and windows were not closed, the wind would not blow in. The sound of the wind gradually became louder, and the wind caused the big rocks to roll.
Someone was talking outside the door, shouting for them to open the door. Someone wanted to open the door, but Sun Yisheng stopped him and said: "The people outside the door are not people, they are evil votes. There are often such things in the wind in Nanfeng Province. They follow in the wind." You talk, or ask for help, or talk about common things, so that you can let down your guard. If you let it in, it will kill you. The identification is very simple. If you lean on the crack of the door and look out, you can't see its feet."
Everyone lay on the ground and looked outside. Sure enough, the thing outside the door had no legs.
Sun Yisheng laughed and said: "That thing is just a ball of wind, of course it has no legs."
Everyone admired him endlessly.
"You two look pale, are you injured?"
A Juren stepped forward and said with a smile, "I have studied medical skills for several years, and I may be able to help you treat your injuries."
Chen Shi thanked him and said, "My Yuanying is slightly injured, and his Yuanshen is injured. I'm afraid it won't be easy to treat."
The judge was startled and said quickly: "I can't cure this kind of injury. I have received your kindness and I plan to repay you, but my medical skills are limited and I dare not treat you two."
Chen Shi smiled and said: "It's just a trivial matter, why do you care?"
As he spoke, the sound of the wind gradually died down, and after a while, the wind stopped.
Everyone opened the doors and windows, only to see a thick layer of soil falling outside, and some large and small stones scattered on the wasteland outside the ancient temple.
There were also several big rocks near the ancient temple. Just as she was about to get closer to take a look, the big rocks suddenly grew four legs, stuck out their heads, and ran away. She was stunned.
"It's a stone bird from Nanfeng Province. Because of the strong wind, it can't fly and its wings have degenerated, so it turns into legs and runs wildly on the ground."
A Juren recognized this creature and said, "When the wind comes, they shrink their legs, wings, and heads into their bodies, and roll in the wind."
"What is that?" Someone pointed into the distance.
When everyone looked around, they saw the yellow sky and streaks of fire flying towards them.
Chen Shi looked at the fire and felt a little familiar. He suddenly woke up and said loudly: "Cannon! It's the Hongyi Cannon!"
Everyone looked pale.
They just came to Beijing to take the exam, so why were Hongyi artillery bombarded?
Projectiles with the Great Five Thunder Talisman drawn on them came through the air one after another. Before they could get close, the power of thunder had already erupted, flashing with sizzling electric light! The target of the Hongyi cannon's bombardment was the building where they were located. Ancient temple!
