Chapter 68 Five Elements Handling
Except for the broken official uniforms, Wei Qing did not seem to be injured. After flying to the roof, he directly put the sword on the neck of the man in black.
"Do I take down the black veil for you, or do you do it yourself?"
"Want to see my face? I'll be in my next life, hahahaha..."
With a sudden grim smile, a fire suddenly broke out on the man in black, and the bones were burned away in a blink of an eye. This scene came too suddenly, and even Wei Qing didn't have time to hide. When the flames hit the corner of his clothes, half of his official uniform was burned to ashes in an instant. Wei Qing was shocked and angry, and quickly pulled off his coat. At this time, the roof where the man in black was located was only a piece of ashes left.
"I burn myself with Taoist real fire, what a cruel person!"
Lu Xin's face suddenly changed, and a chill flashed through his heart. Ordinary fire cannot burn people to death in an instant. However, Taoist true fire, as long as it is activated with magic power, the temperature is extremely high, which is enough to melt the body instantly.
Wei Qing frowned and stared at the ground for a long time before putting away his sword and turning his eyes. Lu Xin looked at him. There was no expression on the young Dali Temple Master's face.
"You are not a member of the court, why should you help Wei capture the thief?"
"I saw unfairness on the road, but it was just a whim. I don't know how many people will die in vain in this fire in the West Market. I just want to do something for the people of Chang'an City."
"What a good person. The court is working on people. Although my Dali Temple is not as good as the Imperial God Doctor, the Secretariat, and the Three Divisions of the Secretariat, he is deeply trusted by the emperor. If you want to plan for more people, you can join my Dali Temple as an employee. Although Wei is a little slight, he can recommend one or two."
"Oh? Enter Dali Temple?"
Under the bright night sky, there was a huge fire. The two young men stood on the roof with their own swords, less than twenty steps apart. The wind was strong, and occasionally Mars blowing from the east fell to the side, and blue smoke rose. Lu Xin saw that Wei Qing seemed to be recruiting, and immediately smiled faintly.
"The imperial temple was established in the imperial temple, and there were Yinyang Temples besides the six ministries and nine ministers. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty wanted to suppress the Onmyoji in the world. If I enter Dali Temple, aren't you afraid that the court will blame you?"
"What the emperor wants to deal with is just those traitors who intend to rebel and ignore their lives. You are young and chivalrous, and are the talents that the court urgently needs. Wei has been a servant in Dali Temple for many years and has seen countless people, so he will never miss it."
Wei Qing was only in his early twenties, with a fair face and handsome appearance, but there was a heroic spirit hidden between his eyebrows. The official position of Dali Temple Chief, counting ancient and modern times, reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty. The official position of the sixth rank, was in charge of various affairs of Dali Temple, which was a real position of power.
As Wei Qing said, after Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he paid great attention to the law. Although Dali Temple was not among the three departments of the Criminal Prison during the Zhenguan period, it was still the most trusted institution Emperor Taizong. Any cases inside and outside the capital that alarmed the court were first handed over to Dali Temple to investigate. Therefore, although Dali Temple was only one of the nine temples, it had great power. After Yonghui, Wu Zetian gained power and reached the extreme. However, these are all later stories.
"Hahahaha... Thank you for your kindness. I hope that one day, you and I will really be officials in the same court. Now, I should think of a way to put out the fire first."
Lu Xin laughed loudly and was about to fall off the roof after saying that. But when he reached the eaves, he suddenly stopped. Turning around, Wei Qing's eyes were already looking at the sea of fire in the east.
"Mr. Wei, I heard that man say, are you Wei Zheng's nephew?"
"Yes, the secretary-general of the dynasty, Lord Wei Zheng, was his uncle."
Wei Qing turned his face when he heard this, but after Lu Xin asked, he just nodded and then jumped off the roof.
"What a strange person, but... I'll see you again if you're destined to be together. However, this fire actually involved the Netherworld Dao Sect. I'm afraid someone was secretly making trouble. The situation is urgent, so it seems that I have to go to the palace."
After Lu Xin left, Wei Qing took out something from the ashes of the man in black, which was Zhang Jincancan's talisman. After watching for a moment, Wei Qing also jumped off the roof and soon left the western market.
The fire was still burning and getting stronger and stronger. Fortunately, Yongzhou Prefecture took quarantine measures and did not allow the fire to continue to spread. After Lu Xin returned to the ground, he searched on South Street for more than ten minutes, but there was still no sign of Li Chunfeng. There was no way, Lu Xin decided to return to the place to wait.
When we were about to reach the North Gate, a river suddenly emerged from the night sky, shaped like a dragon, as if falling from the nine heavens, and quickly rushed into the East Street. For a moment, water and fire blended, and a large amount of steam rose, forming a huge cloud over the entire western market.
Lu Xin didn't know how to describe the scene in front of him, just like someone transported an entire river from afar to put out the fire in Chang'an City. This method is so wise that gods and ghosts are unpredictable. When many people saw it, they immediately fell to the ground, kowtowing while shouting the names of various gods.
"The Five Elements Transportation Technique, this person has such a great mana."
"Master, you are finally back."
Lu Xin was just as he could see, and a figure suddenly fell beside him, but Li Chunfeng, who had disappeared for a long time. He looked up at the clouds and mist above the East Street, his eyes were blurred and thoughtful.
"The wind in Chang'an City is indeed huge. Fortunately, there are capable people in the court, so this fragile world will not collapse."
"Master, what is the Five Elements Transportation Technique? Is this water really transported by someone from a distance?"
"My Taoist magic originated from the ancient immortal magic. After Onmyoji practiced to the realm of divine realm, his soul was strong and he could use it to him. The five elements of the transport technique was not a great magical power, but the caster must have enough magic power to be able to take the weight of mountains and rivers!"
When Li Chunfeng finished speaking, all the fires in the West Market were extinguished. From the appearance of the fire to the end, only two quarters of an hour passed, which was half an hour. This shows that there were indeed masters in Chang'an City. Moreover, even Li Chunfeng was amazed by the other party's power.
"Master, who is the sacred shadow you just went to chase?"
"I don't know."
Li Chunfeng shook his head, his face gloomy and complicated, as if a lot of things had happened during the time he left. Seeing this, Lu Xin quickly shut up. Even a master like Li Chunfeng, who had the same cultivation level, could not find out the other party's identity, which was terrible.
"I can only be sure that the black shadow is definitely not the person in the palace. Although he only has the third level of Guiwei Realm, he carries a powerful invisible divine talisman. His magic power attribute is earth, maybe... it is related to the Great Wilderness Divine Sect?"
"The Great Wilderness God Cult?"
Lu Xin's expression changed slightly. Just as he was on the roof, Wei Qing shouted the four words "Nether Dao Sect", and suspected that the identity of the man in black was related to the Nether Dao Sect in Beimo. Now, Li Chunfeng suspected that the black shadow flying out of the imperial city was a member of the Great Wilderness Divine Sect. In just a moment, two of the five strongest sects in the world of immortal cultivation appeared, which was really incredible.
However, the Great Wilderness Divine Sect is located outside the Western Regions. The Netherworld Dao Sect is in the wilderness in the northern Turkic Kingdom, thousands of miles away from the Tang Dynasty. Why do the forces of these two sects cause chaos in Chang'an City?
Lu Xin naturally couldn't figure out the trick, and then he said everything he saw and heard. After hearing this, Li Chunfeng's eyes gradually became clear, as if he had figured out some things.
"You did a good job. Dali Temple is the real power institution of the court. Wei Qing is also the nephew of the Secretary-General. It is of great benefit to get to know him. As for Wei Zheng, the golden scale is not something in the pond. When it comes to wind and clouds, it turns into a dragon. The deeper the water in Chang'an City, the more chance this person will have to get to power. Perhaps, we still have to go to Qian Mansion."
Li Chunfeng made fortunes by picking his fingers and stopped in place for a long time before frowning and turning toward the location of Huaiyuanfang. It was the location of Qian Mansion. Lu Xin didn't understand why Li Chunfeng suddenly changed his mind, but he was well-versed in Taoism and proficient in numerology, so he should have foresaw something in the dark.
Since the fire in the west market has been extinguished and it is late at night, the master and the disciple will naturally not stay too much. The two of them quickly left the north gate and planned to find an inn to rest for a night before talking. However, just after passing the Suzaku Gate, a girl in a pink big sleeve robe suddenly jumped out of the shadow.
"I'm finally waiting for you, big brother, can you teach me martial arts? Is it good to teach me martial arts?"
The sudden shouting scared Lu Xin. Looking closely, the person came was the girl who called herself Qian Xiaoyue. A quarter of an hour ago, the two had just met and even scolded each other.
"Who is your elder brother? The silly girl? I'm one year younger than you."
Lu Xin cursed in his heart, but there was no sound on his face, and he only said "Get out of the way". Seeing this, Li Chunfeng looked at the girl for a moment, but smiled faintly from the side.
"Hmph, I have been waiting for you for so long. You must promise to teach me martial arts. This is part of the apprenticeship ceremony, you can take it first."
The girl ignored whether Lu Xin agreed or not, took out the previous piece of silver and stuffed it directly into Lu Xin's hand. Seeing her firm look, she obviously would not give up.
"master?"
"Don't look at me, this is what you brought to you by yourself."
"Oh my god, I said little girl, where did you come from? Please, can you let me go? Otherwise, I will be rude."
"You shout, it's useless to shout it out. Who doesn't know my name in this huge Chang'an City? Where did it come out? If I say my father's name, you two will be scared to death."
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, even the emperor can't scare me to death. Is your father black and white impermanence and can still hook my soul?"
"Hmph, my dad is one of the four wealthy businessmen in the capital, Qian Hai and Qian Dashi. As long as you become my master, I will ask my dad to give you a house."
