Chapter 952 The Confused Zhang Daoxian
Hearing this, Xue Qing’s heart trembled slightly, and she immediately looked at Zhong Kui expectantly.
Today she was defeated, completely defeated. Let alone saving the demon world, she was extremely lucky to be able to save herself.
If Zhong Kui is willing to take her away from here, away from the disputes between the human and demon worlds, even if it means living a poor and cumbersome life, she will be happy to do so.
Facing Xue Qing’s expectant gaze, Zhong Kui fell silent.
He once trusted Zhang Daoxian so much, but Xue Qing said that Zhang Daoxian was not a good person.
But if even Zhang Daoxian is not trustworthy, then are the master and disciple in front of him worthy of trust?
He is taking Xue Qing away now. He is escaping, being a coward, and abandoning the thousands of people in the capital.
If the demon world falls in the future and the demons escape to the human world, Hudu will be the first to bear the brunt. Will he be a deserter at this time?
“I can’t leave, and I can’t leave.” After a long time, Zhong Kui lowered his eyes and said, “Hudu needs me.”
Xue Qing's eyes dimmed, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Perhaps for an aspiring man, responsibility is greater than love?
"Consider it carefully." Qin Yao didn't say much, just patted Zhong Kui on the shoulder, then turned to Uncle Jiu and said, "Master, I will help you out."
Zhong Kui She watched the master and apprentice leave numbly, but did not dare to look at Xue Qing again.
Xue Qing looked at him for a long time, then her body suddenly turned into a snowstorm and rushed out the door: "The grace of saving my life will be repaid one day."
Zhong Kui subconsciously reached out to grab it, but the wind and snow passed through his fingers and quickly disappeared from his eyes...
On the other side, after walking out of Zhong Kui's room, Qin Yao asked secretly: "System, help me How much filial piety do you need to hide from Haechi with Uncle Jiu? "
There is no doubt that Haechi from heaven is definitely not comparable to the human unicorn, and his minimum strength must be in the immortal realm.
Faced with this gap in realms, without external assistance, Qin Yao and Uncle Jiu’s lies would have no way of hiding.
【One person has one hundred filial piety values per day. 】The system immediately gives a quotation.
"It's too expensive." Qin Yao frowned.
If Haezhi stays in Hudu for three to five days, the consumption will exceed 1,000 yuan.
The price is unacceptable to Qin Yao.
[The other party is a fairy beast after all, and the strength gap between you is too big. 】The system is not a businessman, so it will not bargain with the business, but only gives the basis for charging in response to Qin Yao's complaints.
If the demon spirit was not in hand, Qin Yao would never accept this offer.
But because the demon was in hand, he had to accept the price. After all, even if they spend more than a thousand dollars, as long as they can keep the demon spirit, it will be a big profit for their master and disciple.
The difference is just a matter of earning more and earning less!
Shaoqing, Uncle Jiu brought Qin Yao to his house, and waved his hands with a barrier: "Zhang Daoxian has gone to invite Xie Zhi, what are your ideas?"
" Just leave it to me to deal with it." Qin Yao warned: "Master, please remember not to answer when I am not around. Any questions about Zhang Daoxian. Haechi can distinguish between true and false words, but he can’t see through your heart.”
Seeing that Qin Yao was still reliable at the critical moment, Uncle Jiu breathed a sigh of relief: “You. It’s good to have a way to deal with it, otherwise we will have no choice but to escape from the devil’s world.”
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems as long as I'm here." Qin Yao said firmly.
The next day.
The fourth day the demon left the demon world.
Zhang Daoxian landed in Hudu City before the sun had risen. He was accompanied by a unicorn-like monster that was as big as an ox and resembled a unicorn, with thick black hair all over its body.
"Lord Haechi, I will trouble you to hide in the courtroom later, listen quietly to people's words, and distinguish the true from the false." Zhang Daoxian said warmly as he climbed up the steps of the Duhu Mansion.
Haechi spoke human words with a solemn and majestic voice: "No problem. Immortal official, please rest assured that no lie can escape my discernment."
Zhang Daoxian laughed: "Yes, yes, this is also my expense. The main reason why I took so much trouble to invite you here."
During the conversation, a person and an animal passed through the tightly closed door, and were led by Zhang Daoxian to the outside of the palace hall.
Haizhi took two quick steps, stepped through the door, glanced across the hall with his bull's-eye eyes, and slowly came to the judge's table.
I saw it transform into a jade seal and gently fall on the side of the table. It was invisible and invisible. Anyone who saw it would just think it was an ordinary jade seal.
Zhang Daoxian nodded with satisfaction, turned around and went out. He called Uncle Jiu, Qin Yao, and Zhong Kui to the court, and said in a solemn voice: "Daoist Lin, Taoist Qin, I have a question, and I would like you to answer it."< br>
Here comes...< br>
Qin Yao's eyelids twitched and he said to himself: "System, the exchange has the ability to hide the ability of Xie Zhi."
[This transaction will deduct 100 filial piety points. The deduction is successful. Your filial piety The value balance is 10950 points. 】
As the light symbol of successful transaction flashed in front of his eyes, even though he didn't feel anything, Qin Yao felt relieved and asked calmly: "What does the immortal want to ask?"
Zhang Dao The question was very reserved.
Qin Yao shook his head: "If we know who the murderer is, why shouldn't we tell the immortal?"
When he finished speaking, Zhang Daoxian subconsciously looked at the Haechi on the sentencing table. Da Yin, but seeing that Da Yin didn't react at all, his heart sank slightly.
Do they really not know who the murderer is?
After a moment of silence, Zhang Daoxian asked again: "Do you know where the demon spirit is?"
Qin Yao raised his eyebrows and asked: "You don't even know where the demon spirit is, how can we know? Zhang Xianren, are you doubting us?"
Zhang Daoxian still winked at Zhong Kui before Xie Zhi could speak.
Zhong Kui understood this and immediately came out to talk to Xi Ni: "Taoist Master Qin, it's not that the immortals doubt you, but that the seven-day period is getting closer and closer. In these last three days, the demonic army will be ready at any time. There is a possibility of attacking Hudu. Our chances of winning are very low. Therefore, the immortal is getting more and more nervous and anxious, and he has asked me this before."
Qin Yao knew that these words must have been made up by Zhong Kui, but there was no trace of the truth or falsehood at this time. Meaning, it is wise to go down this stairs.
After all, he couldn't leave Hudu with his master and leave the center of the plot.
Losing control of the situation and micro-managing the plot will definitely lead to backlash in the future.
"Immortal, you are the only hope for Hudu now." Taking a breath silently, Qin Yao said in a deep voice: "Anyone in Hudu can mess up, but you can't mess up, otherwise, Hudu will Who else can our people rely on? "
Zhang Daoxian's face looked uncertain, and his eyes glanced from his cheek to Uncle Jiu's. He wanted to ask a few more questions, but in the end he forcibly held back.
He knew very well that the inquiry just now had caused a rift between the two of them. Zhong Kui's round house did not repair the rift, but only maintained the relationship between the two parties in a state of being broken but not broken.
If he questions the Taoist priest named Lin again, the Taoist named Qin will probably fall out on the spot!
At that time, he asked the Jade Emperor for an order to govern the capital, but he made a guarantee in front of all the immortal officials in the palace. If when he was guarding the capital, all the troops were gone, and the demons invaded the human territory, he didn't know what would happen to him.
Therefore, he really needs these two masters and apprentices to work for him, at least to defend the capital.
Soon after, Qin Yao and Jiu Shu walked out of the courtroom together. Zhang Daoxian sat slumped on a chair and murmured: "Now there is no one to suspect. I don't understand. It's hard to understand. Then Who is the mastermind behind this? When did he plan the demon spirit?" The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became that he, a dignified immortal official, seemed to have his neck strangled and his mouth covered, making it difficult to breathe.
"Immortal, can you please send soldiers and horses from heaven to come down to earth to guard the capital?" Zhong Kui asked softly.
Zhang Daoxian shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "It was a merit that we stole the demon spirit, but it was a fault that the demon spirit was lost in our hands and attracted the demons to covet the world. Now the merit is gone, but the fault is still there.
There is still no movement in the heaven. It cannot be that they are not aware of the changes in the devil world. I think it is for me. Opportunity. If I can't resolve this matter properly, Zhong Kui, you may not see me in the future."
Zhong Kui: "..."
Looking at him speechless. Looking like this, Zhang Daoxian asked out of nowhere: "Zhong Kui, you have nothing to hide from me, right?"
Zhong Kui's heart stopped for a moment, and he said quickly: "No, no, how dare a villain lie to an immortal?"
"Lie!" Haechi suddenly appeared and shouted sternly.
Zhong Kui’s mouth twitched.
He never expected beforehand that the Haechi invited by Zhang Daoxian would actually be used on himself.
Zhang Daoxian's expression changed and he shouted softly: "Zhong Kui, what did you hide from me?"
Zhong Kui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Immortal, don't ask, don't ask, I can assure you that this matter has nothing to do with the devil."
Zhang Daoxian said coldly: "It has nothing to do with the devil. No, you shouldn’t hide anything about me from me.”
< br>Zhong Kui was helpless: "This is my privacy, please give me some dignity."
"Pa!"
Zhang Daoxian slapped him in the face with his backhand, and he actually slapped him in the face. He knocked it flying and knocked over a candlestick holding more than ten candles with his shoulder.
"What kind of dignity do you have? Do you deserve to be called decent? Tell me honestly, what did you hide from me!"
Seeing that the immortal who seemed like a loving father and mentor in his impression suddenly became so violent, Zhong Kui felt that layer of his heart. The filter finally broke, and I gritted my teeth without saying a word.
Whether it was the entanglement with Xue Qing or the betrayal of Zhang Daoxian, he could not talk about it.
If I say the former, I am afraid that it will harm Xue Qing’s life, and if I tell you the latter, I will only fear that it will harm her own life.
Xue Qing is right, Zhang Daoxian is indeed not a good person. He asked himself to steal demon spirits, and nine times out of ten, it was not for the sake of the people of Hudu!
Zhang Dao >Zhong Kui seems to His throat was strangled, his cheeks gradually turned red, and he said with difficulty: "I swear on my soul, that matter has nothing to do with demons!"
Zhang Daoxian was silent for a long time, waved his palm, and the immortal energy that imprisoned Zhong Kui suddenly dissipate.
“Bang.”
Zhong Kui’s body fell to the ground from mid-air, and he couldn’t help but let out a painful moan.
"Get out!" Zhang Daoxian yelled.
Zhong Kui struggled to get up from the ground and limped out of the courtroom.
“Do you still have any doubts about the candidate?” After the three people left the scene, Haechi asked indifferently.
Zhang Daoxian suddenly remembered the team of witches who entered the city a few days ago, and said solemnly: "There is only the last breakthrough..."
However, when he brought Haechi to Loulan, When they entered the camp of the motorcade, they saw that the tent was already empty, and even the camels and horses were gone.
"I feel that I am getting closer and closer to the truth."
Looking at the empty camp, Zhang Daoxian became excited: "The entire Huhu has been sealed by me. Except for me, we can only enter, but we can't." Come out, so those witches They must be hiding. As long as we can find them, we may be able to learn the truth from them."
"Immortal officer, I am following you to solve the case, not to investigate it." Haechi said in a deep voice.
Zhang Daoxian's smile froze, and then he said: "One day, give me one day, I will definitely find them."
Xie Zhi shook his head: "Tonight at most When the time comes, I will leave immediately.”
Zhang Daoxian: "..."
At this moment, he once again deeply hated why he was just a humble official.
If he was an important member of the Heavenly Court, how could this Haechi dare to speak to him like this?
The day passed quickly. Zhang Daoxian first searched through the most dangerous and safest Protectorate, and then walked through the streets and alleys, trying to find the group of goblins.
Unfortunately, the group of goblins did not know where they were taking shelter. No matter how hard he searched, he could not find any clues. In the end, he could only watch the Haechi leave.
After this hour, it was the fifth day since the demon spirit left the demon world.
Zhang Daoxian looked at the rising sun on a high mountain, and even thought of retreating in his heart...
But, with this retreat, he may no longer have a fate with the devil. It is even more delusional to overthrow the Jade Emperor's rule and become a great treasure in the future.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
After dawn, Zhong Kui sat on his knees in his room at the Protectorate's Mansion, with black veins spreading on his face, and his whole body was like being washed with water, and he was uttering There were bursts of wild beast-like screams.
Since the immortal brought him back from the imperial capital three years ago, he would suffer from this disease every once in a while.
At this time, the immortal will bring the fairy soup and feed him to drink it to get rid of the bad diseases.
However, today, the immortal has not yet arrived...
After suffering for a long time, Zhong Kui finally couldn't bear it anymore. He picked up the scabbard and slapped himself on the head repeatedly, trying to knock himself out.
But he broke his own head, blood flowed down his forehead, and he failed to faint as expected.
Holding back the pain, he grabbed the bamboo hat hanging on the wall, put it on his head, covered his face, walked out quickly, and walked quickly to Uncle Jiu's door, knocking on it constantly.
Uncle Jiu opened the door following the sound, and Zhong Kui fell directly into his room, holding his head and screaming in pain.
Is it a case of porcelain?
Uncle Jiu was stunned until he saw the terrifying black veins on the other person's face. He suddenly came to his senses and put his hand on his forehead, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"Please bear with me for a moment. I'll call Qin Yao. He has a magic that can cure all kinds of curses."
"Curse?" Zhong Kui shuddered suddenly.
So, this is not a bad disease at all, but a curse that someone planted on himself?
