Chapter 23 Deterring the monsters and suppressing the city with one word
"Taoist Master, please."
Zhang Qingyun asked Jiang Sheng to take a seat very solemnly, and personally served Jiang Sheng tea.
"Why is this, county magistrate?" Jiang Sheng picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Zhang Qingyun explained: "The Eight Wolves of East County are notorious throughout Qingzhou. They are extremely vicious robbery cultivators who have killed countless people. Even ordinary evil cultivators are afraid of the Eight Wolves of East County. ”
"And the Taoist Master killed the Eight Wolves of East County today, which undoubtedly greatly shocked the evil cultivators in East County. Presumably the evil cultivators lurking in Qingshan County will be able to subside for a while."
"So. As soon as he comes, Qingyun can calmly arrange with his daughter and Xu Xianzi, so that they can have time to catch all these evil cultivators. "
"How can Qingyun not be grateful to the Taoist priest?"
Jiang Sheng is the one. He smiled and said, "But I remember that Mayor Tian asked Pindao to come down the mountain on behalf of the county leader. Pindao didn't agree, so the county leader got very angry."
"Before, he just sat back and watched. Those casual cultivators test the poor.”
"Why are you so arrogant now and then so respectful?"
Zhang Qingyun is a little embarrassed.
Zhang Qing said quickly: "The Taoist priest is a master of Penglai and has an extraordinary mind. Why bother with a common man like my little girl's father?"
"My little girl's father was also anxious at the beginning. , forgetting that it’s hard to find true scriptures and hard to find real people.”
Jiang Sheng smiled and nodded. He had no intention of arguing with Zhang Qingyun, otherwise why would he be sitting here?
After Zhang Qing learned about Jiang Sheng's strength from Xu Xiao, she told Jiang Sheng her plan.
Obviously what Zhang Qing said now was the real plan, and the secret room planning that night was actually worried about the demon's spies getting into it.
Now Wen Renjie, Young Master Kong Kong, and Qiao Xuan are not present. There are only Xu Xiao, the best friend of Lan Yue Sect, and Jiang Sheng, a high-ranking scholar from Penglai.
But judging from their status, it is impossible for these two people to collude with the demon of Taiping River.
Jiang Sheng and Xu Xiao have teamed up to set up a barrier. At present, the conversations in the county government cannot be heard by outsiders.
After listening to Zhang Qing's story in silence, Jiang Sheng pondered for a moment before saying, "I still believe in Miss Zhang's plan." After thinking about it, I still want to leave something for self-defense for Miss Zhang.”
Zhang Qing’s eyes flashed: “What kind of self-defense will the Taoist leave for my little girl?”
Jiang Sheng took out a piece of talisman from his arms. It was a piece of cyan talisman paper with black clouds painted on it.
Handing the talisman to Zhang Qing, Jiang Sheng explained: "This is a mysterious water talisman drawn by Pindao Xianlai. It contains Pindao's spiritual power. After activation, ordinary foundation building will not hurt the lady at all. .”
Zhang Qing carefully put away the talisman, and bowed Yingying again: "My little girl, thank you, the Taoist Master."
Xu Xiao looked at the green talisman, his eyes full of surprise: "Such a profound talisman, said It’s really amazing that Chang can successfully draw it in the foundation building realm.”
As we all know, whether it is drawing talismans or refining elixirs, it is difficult for monks to refine things of the same level.
For example, when monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage refine elixirs, they basically refine elixirs from the Qi Training Stage; while monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage draw talismans that are basically drawn from the Qi Training Stage.
Because this method has the highest success rate and can save the most cost. After all, using foundation building to refine Qi training things is a high-level strategy, and if it is the opposite, there will be little chance of success.
Jiang Sheng chuckled, but his expression remained unchanged: "It's just a practice for free, there's nothing profound about it."
Xu Xiao quickly said: "Penglai is the authentic sect of Xuanmen, and the entire Eastern Continent Who doesn’t know the name of Penglai Talisman?”
“I’m lucky enough to see Penglai Talisman today. I have an unkind request. I would like to ask the Taoist priest to sell me a few.”
Jiang Sheng. Knowing that Xu Xiao was sitting alone in the county seat and was under great pressure, he thought for a while and said, "What kind of talisman does Xu Xiao want? Let me tell you first." That’s it.”
Xu Xiao was overjoyed and told him the several talismans he needed.
Jiang Sheng nodded slightly. What Xu Xiao wanted was basically to detect the traces of evil cultivators, remove the curse, and guard against victory-weary talismans. Such talismans were really not difficult for Jiang Sheng.
So Jiang Sheng agreed: "These talismans can be painted, and the price can be reduced by another 20%. Fellow Taoist Xu, how good is this?"
Xu Xiao kept saying Nodding: "Thank you so much, Taoist Priest."
Without much chatting, Jiang Sheng and Xu Xiao agreed to start the return journey after the Qingping Mountain transaction in three days.
It wasn't until Jiang Sheng flew up and left the county that the evil cultivators hidden throughout the county breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Sheng put too much pressure on them. What kind of reputation is the Eight Wolves of East County?
Beheading the true disciples of the Qingyun Sect and ruthlessly defeating the elders of the Zifu, who in Qingzhou doesn’t know the name of the Eight Wolves of East County?
How many qi-training cultivating families were destroyed at the hands of the Eight Wolves of East County, and how many foundation-building monks were hunted and killed by them like prey?
The now famous Eight Wolves of Dongjun encountered a real dragon during a hunt. Instead, they were slaughtered one by one, and their corpses were hung in public at the gate of the county government office. The evil cultivators secretly took a look and were so frightened that they broke into a cold sweat!
The Eight Wolves of East County, who could scare the cultivating families who were cultivating Qi and building foundations and fled overnight with their names alone, were as dry as firewood and hung at the gate of the county government office like dried bacon. One look and you can tell what they have been through.
The evil cultivators even imagined that scene: The Eight Wolves of East County were defeated by Jiang Sheng, and each of them sacrificed their blood and essence, but they were still no match for Jiang Sheng. Slaughter them one by one.
The feeling of powerlessness makes the evil cultivators feel suffocated just thinking about it.
And just as Zhang Qingyun said, after Jiang Sheng's actions, the evil cultivators in Qingshan County have indeed calmed down.
They are not stupid, how can they have a head-on conflict with a fierce dragon crossing the river like Jiang Sheng?
Furthermore, Taoist Master Jiang also said that he would hide in Qingping Mountain to practice. As long as he doesn’t disturb him in Qingping Mountain, there is a high probability that he will be fine.
But even so, the evil cultivators could not guarantee whether Jiang Sheng would come to Qingshan County every now and then, so they all concealed their traces and decided to hide and wait for a while to see the limelight.
There are also some evil cultivators who took the opportunity to inform their employers of the matter and demanded a temporary price increase, which shows no industry ethics at all.
With just one sentence, Jiang Sheng suppressed the evil cultivators in the city, making these murderous evil cultivators tremble with fear, and no one dared to take the lead!
Jiang Sheng, who returned to Qingping Mountain, finally lived the pure life he wanted.
Collecting the morning glow in the day and the moonlight in the night, drops of spiritual fluid accumulated in his body. Jiang Sheng even felt that he would be satisfied if he could continue like this.
Three days later, Xu Xiao came to Qingping Mountain to pick up the talisman, and Jiang Sheng handed the drawn talisman to Xu Xiao.
Among them are five talismans to guard against the evil spirit, five talismans to relieve the curse, and ten talismans to pursue the aura of evil cultivators.
There were twenty talismans in total, and Xu Xiao paid 2,800 spiritual stones.
The price is not high, even more than 30% lower than the price on the market.
And it was an ordinary talisman. It was a talisman drawn by a foundation-building monk in Penglai. Logically speaking, the price should be higher.
Xu Xiao naturally knew that Jiang Sheng had given her a huge discount. While Xu Xiao was grateful, she also said that she would inform her fellow apprentices about this and try her best to introduce more business to Jiang Sheng.
Jiang Sheng nodded and agreed with a smile.
After sending Xu Xiao away, Jiang Sheng’s life returned to peace again.
It was not until four days later that Tian Ming'an arrived at the Taoist temple at sunrise, and then knelt down outside the temple and asked Jiang Sheng to accept him.
Jiang Sheng sat cross-legged on the futon with his eyelids drooping, ignoring Tian Ming'an who was kneeling outside the hall.
Tian Ming'an also knelt down without saying a word until he got up and went down the mountain.
In the early morning of the next day, Tian Ming'an came to the Taoist temple early and knelt outside the temple. Jiang Sheng didn't say anything, so he kept kneeling until he left in the evening.
Then came the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day.
After kneeling for six consecutive days, Tian Ming'an still wanted to go up the mountain, but Tian Guofu couldn't bear it anymore: "Ming'an, if you really want to practice Taoism, my family will give up all their wealth to send you to the sect in Dongjun. It's not impossible."
"What's more, the Taoist Palace of the imperial court sends Taoist officials to inspect the counties every year. As long as they are over twelve years old and have a strong sense of understanding, there is no need to go to the Taoist Palace. Where is Taoist Master Jiang? "
Tian Ming'an pursed his lips and looked stubborn: "My grandson has little experience and has not seen many monks, but he knows that there are absolutely very few monks like Taoist Master. "
"It's my grandson's chance to meet him now. If he fails to seize this opportunity, he will regret it for the rest of his life."
As he said this, Tian Ming'an ignored it again. His family members dissuaded him, so he went up the mountain early and knelt down in front of the Taoist temple again, bowing to the ground without saying a word.
Jiang Sheng glanced at Tian Ming'an silently, lowered his eyelids and continued practicing.
Another day without words, Tian Ming'an, who had been kneeling all day again, felt stiff, cold and hungry.
At the age of twelve, I have to endure the cold and kneel for one day every day without touching the rice water. It is rare to be able to persist for two or three days, let alone seven days?
But what Tian Mingan was thinking was that he had persisted for seven days. As long as he continued to persist, Jiang Sheng could see his integrity every day he knelt.
So on the morning of the eighth day, even though he felt that his body was about to be unable to support himself, Tian Ming'an still pushed himself up the mountain, trudged hard to the middle of the mountain, and knelt down in front of Jiang Sheng.
From nine o'clock to noon, Tian Ming'an was already confused.
Jiang Sheng glanced at Tian Ming'an and suddenly said: "You have been kneeling for seven days in a row, and today is already the eighth day."
"If you are a poor man and you still don't care, you can wait for me." How about it? "
Today's first chapter, haha, I need to adjust my work and rest. I beg you to collect more. It would be better if you have a monthly pass.
