After the discussion in the hall ended, the officials continued to discuss for a long time before dispersing. After Wang Lexian's troubles, the layout of Zijun City from now on was basically determined.
Sheriff Zhou returned to the bedroom, and Zhou Qing brought the chicken soup that had been prepared.
"My precious daughter still cares about me." Governor Zhou raised his eyebrows at Old Dao Hao with a proud look on his face.
He Laodao said: "Just show that you have a daughter."
Over there, Zhou Qing and Xi'er hurriedly brought out the remaining two portions of chicken soup.
"Uncle He, don't be jealous, you also have a good niece."
"Hahaha, my good niece is not like your father who knows how to make me angry."
Old Taoist Hao smiled so hard that his face wrinkled together, making Captain Hong feel disgusted.
Commander Zhou has never been as happy as he is today since he came to Zijun City. Everyone was happily busy for a while, and he suddenly asked: "Young Shaoxia has been gone for three days. I don't know when he will come back. Let's go out and browse." The beautiful scenery of Zijun City.”
Hao Laodao stroked his beard as if thinking, and Lieutenant Hong replied impatiently: "It should be soon. It only takes two or three days from the county seat to Liujia Village. Brother You should be returning now."
Only then did Hao Laodao say: "I'm afraid it won't be so soon. Chang Taoist Master was very anxious when he left. There must be something urgent to do. It's possible to ask Brother You to help."
Governor Zhou sighed: "Young Shaoxia is young and promising, and he has not forgotten his promise to personally send Liu Qiming's ashes back. He is really a trustworthy person. If he can help us, then the stubborn problem of the county's family monopolizing water transportation will definitely be solved, but not I know what You Shaoxia means."
Governor Zhou knew that the two of them had a good relationship with You Ziji, so he asked for their opinions.
Taoist Hao thought for a while and said: "Taoist Chang is a master of Xuanming Dao. When he sees a talented person like You Xiaoge, he must recommend a good place. It is not impossible to worship Xuanming Dao."
"Ah! I was confused, but I must not delay You Shaoxia's future."
…
You Ziji and Chang Yunbai passed through the Wild Wind Valley, crossed the mountains, and arrived at Liujia Village in two days.
"Thank you Young Hero for sending back my child's ashes and not letting him wander around as a lonely ghost."
The person who spoke was Liu Qiming's aunt. His parents had passed away long ago.
"Auntie's words are serious. I couldn't save Brother Liu, and I feel very guilty."
"Bandits are rampant now. After this kid left, I knew he was going to lose his life."
When the aunt said this, she couldn't help crying. She calmed down for a long time, and then said: "But I don't know when this bandit will make trouble."
"It's almost time. Most of the bandits have been wiped out. The remaining county guards will send troops to hunt them down as soon as possible. Don't worry, auntie."
"Really, that's great."
The new village chief came over accompanied by Chang Yunbai, "Mrs. Liu family, stop chatting here and go clean up the house. Our Taoist Chang is a master of Taoism and is about to make a peace charm for each of our households. I’ll rest here tonight.”
"Really, Taoist Chang, I'm going to warn those brats so that they won't bother you."
After that, the village chief led the Liu family's wife away.
"Safety Talisman? Senior Brother Chang, there are more than a hundred households in this village, which is a big project."
"It's okay, I'm not the one to draw it."
"If you don't draw it, it's possible that Senior Brother Chang carries more than a hundred peace charms on his body."
"Why should anyone bring that thing with them? It's you who paints it."
"Senior brother is really good at joking, how can I do that?"
"I'll teach you."
"Junior brother is stupid and has no talent for these foreign objects."
"I'm asking you to draw it, but I'm not asking you to use it. Besides, this peace talisman is effective as soon as you wear it. Why can't you use it?"
You Ziji suddenly remembered that when the Dragon King Tower broke the formation, he took advantage of the independent effect of the earth beads. I am afraid that senior brother Chang had already imagined this.
"Then I agree, senior brother, do you have the yellow paper, cinnabar, and talisman pens?"
"No." Chang Yunbai said matter-of-factly.
"Then what painting should I take?"
"You use your pen to influence your performance, so do it empty-handed."
Chang Yunbai took out a stack of cut yellow papers from his package, leaving only one piece, and handed the rest to You Ziji.
"Watch it."
Often the luck comes from the fingers, and a little spiritual light appears. Use the pointing pen to carve on the talisman paper from a distance, and it will be done in one go.
The strokes he imitated with his true energy were left in the air, and then he put his sword pointer between his eyebrows to connect to the Niwan Palace and communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
After a while, a little spiritual energy gathered in the center of his eyebrows. Chang Yunbai used his sword fingers to bring spiritual energy to touch the strokes simulated by the true energy. His eyes flickered, and he scattered a little spiritual light on the strokes and put them together on the yellow paper.
This peace talisman is completed.
You Ziji looked on in shock.
"Senior Brother Chang, this is a bit over the top." You Ziji frowned. No matter how ignorant he was, he knew that most Xuanjing monks couldn't do the ability to induce spiritual energy.
"Super, I've seen all the earth escape talismans you drew. You were born with this material. Go and practice by yourself. When the writing is finished, we can leave."
You Ziji looked helpless, "Aren't you in a hurry?"
"Yeah, I'll go first tomorrow. You wait for me to come back. When you finish drawing the talismans, when will we go back."
You Ziji sighed and reached for the yellow paper, but was stopped by Chang Yunbai.
"Practice writing in the air first. You don't need yellow paper yet."
Although You Ziji's zhenqi was refined and used easily, it was not further refined. This time, he took this opportunity to practice drawing talismans in the air with his bare hands.
He was a genius. Although the control of Qi required to draw words in the air was more subtle, he quickly found the trick. However, he had not yet fully understood how to make the strokes exist for a long time.
Chang Yunbai stood aside in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
You Ziji said: "Where will Senior Brother Chang go to do business tomorrow?"
"Beihuang."
"Beihuang! That's my hometown. Why don't I go with you?"
"Are you from Beihuang? Do you know what big things happened recently?" Chang Yunbai asked urgently.
You Ziji's face turned red. The things he had experienced since his birth and arrival at Damian Lake seemed to be quite big.
"What kind of important matter is Senior Brother Chang asking about?"
Chang Yunbai's eyes were filled with surprise, and he seemed to understand the implication of You Ziji's words. However, he saw that You Ziji was out on his own at a young age, so Beihuang would not be at peace.
"Such as mysterious formations, altars, etc."
"Oh, I've seen that kind of thing before, and I almost got killed by the monster inside."
"What!" Chang Yunbai was shocked, "Has the seal been broken?! What does the monster that attacked you look like?"
You Ziji recalled, "It has a cyan face, blood-red body, and a pair of fleshy wings. By the way, there are two fleshy belts around its waist, which can eat my magic!"
"It is indeed Yaksha. How did you provoke them? Logically speaking, there are restrictions next to the altar of the evil god. With your level, you should not be able to enter."
You Ziji told Chang Yunbai what he and Xiaohu did at Damianhu Market.
After hearing this, Chang Yunbai took a deep breath and sighed: "I didn't expect that fate would play tricks on people. This formation was activated in advance. Fortunately, the seniors of each faction arrived in time, otherwise it would be another disaster if the Yaksha got the essence."
"How did Senior Brother know about the Evil God Altar? Was the restriction made by Senior Xuan Mingdao?"
"That's not entirely true. I have discovered many ancient books of my predecessors in the Scripture Collection Pavilion within the sect.
One of them is a note recorded by an unknown swordsman senior of my Xuan Ming Dao.
For hundreds of years, the supporters of the righteous god and the believers of the evil god fought many life-and-death battles. The forces of the righteous god finally formed the current Tianfu, and the believers of the evil god have been basically wiped out. However, the evil god will not die. It will still come back.
The medium through which the followers of the evil god communicate with the evil god is the altar, which is protected by the power of the evil god and cannot be destroyed. Therefore, after the war, some experts and powerful people sealed the altar of the evil god.
Beihuang was once a battlefield between good and evil, and a senior sealed an altar there.
More than a hundred years ago, I sent the senior who wrote the notes to travel to the Northern Wilderness. On the way, I discovered this Evil God Altar. I found that the spiritual energy was thin. When the spiritual energy is exhausted and the seal cannot be maintained, the Evil God Altar will still exist. , the Yaksha inside will still be alive.
But fortunately, after hundreds of years, the altar's power has been lost a lot, so he added another layer of sword array on top, hoping to completely destroy the altar through the baptism of sword energy.
I read the note, and after careful calculation, I found that the senior of our sect had made a mistake in his calculations, and there was a flaw. The remaining aura of the formation itself was not enough to support the sword formation to destroy the altar.
It was predicted that the seal would disappear within three months. Now that I knew it, I naturally wanted to solve the problem, but I didn't expect that the formation had been unsealed in advance. "
"Then Senior Brother Chang, do you still want to go? The seal has been controlled by several senior masters."
"Of course I have to go. If no one in the Northern Wilderness understands the principles of the formation, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble. I'll feel at ease if I go and take a look. Perhaps, this time, the altar can be destroyed directly."
Chang Yunbai said this not because he looked down on Beihuang. He was able to figure out formation problems with just a notebook. Looking at the world, he was rare. No one in Beihuang could match him in terms of formations.
Chang Yunbai looked at You Ziji who was still practicing, and continued: "In this case, I don't know when I will come back, so I told you some things in advance. Junior Brother You, are you interested in visiting our Xuan Ming Dao? Take a look and learn some skills from a teacher or something."
When You Ziji heard this, he was extremely surprised, "Of course I am willing, but I heard that Xuanming Road is the place where sword immortals practice. I am not very qualified, but I can't use flying swords and can't learn swordsmanship."
"Those are the prejudices of the outside world. My sect is open to all rivers, and there are countless Taoist scriptures. Various cultivation methods are like stars in the sky. There is always something suitable for you."
"It's good that the master doesn't dislike me. Then, senior brother, please accept my bow."
Chang Yunbai smiled and said: "Is there anyone else in your family? Do you need me to come and notify them?"
"I only have one sister and one brother, and they have all traveled far away to learn from their masters."
"Are there no elders in the family?"
"No, the village disappeared, and everyone except Xiao Gou also disappeared with the village."
Chang Yunbai looked at You Ziji's sincere eyes and was suddenly shocked. Zeng Yan, the elder of the sect, had already been born around this year, so he couldn't be the boy in front of him.
But it was not easy to teach him some secret techniques within the sect.
Chang Yunbai calmed down and said to himself: "What are you afraid of? It's not like Xuan Ming Dao has never cultivated spiritual roots."
