With an astonished expression on his face, Xu Ze came to Ying Xuan in one step.
Then he snatched the blood-stained sword from Ying Xuan's hand and looked at it again and again with a frown.
He repeatedly recalled the process of Ying Xuan's "practice" just now.
After confirming that there are no tricks to do in this process.
Then he turned to look at Taoist Priest He Qingxuan, who was sitting motionless on the chair behind him.
At this moment, He Qingxuanming looked calm on the face, but inside he felt like the sky was falling apart.
He Qingxuan was able to buy ultimatums and become a fake Taoist priest, so he naturally did not believe in the theory of gods and ghosts.
But now, the indisputable fact is before him.
The barbarian in front of him, who claimed to be a cultivator, actually made the sword in his hand appear bloodier out of thin air.
Seeing the confused look from the county magistrate Xu Ze, He Qingxuan quickly collected his thoughts.
"This ghost-killing technique is a folk method. It is not orthodox to our Taoist sect and is not worth mentioning."
He Qingxuan did not dare to say that Ying Xuan was fake, for fear that he would be exposed.
At the same time, because Ying Xuan and others came from overseas.
Just say that this is a folk tradition, not orthodox, to justify what I just said.
The consequence of He Qingxuan's words was that he was full of doubts and disdain just now.
Even the county magistrate Xu Ze, who had never believed in ghosts and gods in the first half of his life.
Completely convinced.
He Qingxuan was originally a fake Taoist priest, but now he saw that Ying Xuan really knew some immortal magic.
I am afraid that if I sit down again, my identity as a fake Taoist priest will be revealed.
To be cautious, He Qingxuan stood up and declined:
"Tomorrow happens to be the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the gods are coming. There are still some rituals in the temple that need to be prepared."
"Xu County Magistrate, I will go back and take a look first."
"mercy!"
He Qingxuan was showing off as a highly accomplished person.
With a wave of dust in his hand, he strode out of the door with four steps.
Xu Zeqian stared at He Qingxuan's leaving figure.
Then he looked at Ying Xuan, whose face was not red and his heart was not beating, and there was no wave in his eyes.
Xu Ze thought of Ying Xuan just saying that the reason why he had not been promoted for so many years was because there was a fierce ghost in the study.
Now that the fierce ghost has been killed, his official fortune has been restored.
Doesn't that mean that the day when I will be promoted and make a fortune is coming soon?
Xu Ze almost went crazy thinking about promotion.
"If this ghost is killed, can I really rise to prominence?"
Xu Ze lowered his posture slightly.
Ying Xuan chuckled, and then sat down directly where He Qingxuan had been sitting just now.
"Sir Xu, as we cultivators, we have a merit cao to record our merits and virtues, and a yin cao below to record our negative virtues."
"That's why we cherish our reputation the most."
"Please Sir Xu, please be aware that we are indeed members of the Qin Dynasty, not some deceitful alchemists, let alone Japanese pirates."
Ying Xuan asked Xu Ze to clear his name now.
You can't throw all the dirty water on yourself.
Zhang Liang on the side was also very eye-catching and added:
"Master Xu, when it comes to promotion, you still need to be sincere and wise."
Xu Ze quickly raised his hands towards Ying Xuan:
"Taoist Master Ying, I just couldn't see the mountain. I really want to make progress."
After some thought, Xu Ze still wanted to try to climb up before taking up his official position.
After all, he retired as a county magistrate and retired as a prefecture official.
Whether it is social status or retirement benefits, they are all different.
"Sir Xu, I see that you are destined to have no wealth, your fortune is dark, and you often commit crimes against villains."
"This is the retribution of bad deeds in the past life in this life."
Ying Xuan pretended to count, then frowned.
hiss!
"The evil spirit in the room has been killed, but it will be difficult to deal with this bad character."
Xu Ze felt that Ying Xuan was scolding him.
But he has no evidence.
"Since you lack the yin and yang virtues that you have accumulated for many lifetimes, it is better to spend money to eliminate disasters."
"I came to Daming with the intention of establishing a temple and opening a temple. If you can donate gold and silver to fund the temple, it would be a great merit."
"The missing virtues can all be made up for."
"In this way, within three months, you will be happy to be promoted!"
Xu Ze pushed away the people in the study and pulled Ying Xuan to a deserted corner.
Chatted in detail.
Under Ying Xuan's deception, Xu Ze completely believed that he did not have enough merit in his previous life.
This was why he was never appreciated by the court.
Just like that, Xu Ze immediately took out two more gold cakes from the four gold cakes he had just put in his arms.
Then he gave it back to Ying Xuan.
Then, he respectfully invited Ying Xuan, Zhang Liang and Fan Kuai to have a cup of tea.
Only then did Li Si arrange for the three of them to stay at a post station in the county.
After Li Si, who was seeing him off, left, Ying Xuan and the other three gathered in the guest room.
Zhang Liang hurriedly asked Ying Xuan:
"Is it possible that the young master really knows the magic of immortality?"
Fan Kuai on the side heard Zhang Liang's question and raised his big ears.
"Just now, blood stains appeared out of thin air on the big knife in Young Master's hand. Young Master, when did you carry the immortal magic we learned on your back?"
But Fan Kuai asked, thinking that before Xianyang went to sea, his son could always come up with something new.
Maybe my young master would already be proficient in immortal magic at that time.
Ying Xuan couldn't laugh or cry at this time.
Then he took out something from his arms.
"How can I know any magic?"
"It's just some deceptive tricks."
Saying that, Ying Xuan spread his palms.
Fan Kuai and Zhang Liang saw some yellow powder in Ying Xuan's hand.
Fan Kuai lowered his body and sniffed it.
"Isn't this just turmeric?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liang quickly picked up a little bit, put it to his nose, smelled and tasted it.
Confirmed to be turmeric.
Ying Xuan continued:
"Go! I want a bowl of water."
Soon, Fan Kuai asked the people at the inn for a bowl of water.
Ying Xuan sprinkled the turmeric mixed with a little plant ash into the bowl.
The originally clear water in the bowl suddenly turned into blood.
Fan Kuai was shocked:
"Sir, is it possible that there are fierce ghosts in this inn?"
Ying Xuan raised his hand and struck Fan Kuai hard on the head.
"What the hell!"
"If you say there is no magic, it's just a lie."
Compared to Fan Kuai, Zhang Liang seems to have a much higher IQ:
"Young master, what you mean is that this turmeric will turn into blood when it meets clear water, which is why the big sword just turned red."
"Is it because the young master took advantage of everyone's negligence and put a little turmeric on the blade?"
Ying Xuan nodded with satisfaction:
"Not bad, but in addition to turmeric, there is also some plant ash."
This was Ying Xuan's previous life, a very famous fraud method.
Turmeric adds alkali and turns red when exposed to water.
When Ying Xuan followed Ya Ren to the county government office today, he expected that it would be difficult to settle down during this trip.
I brought these two things just in case.
Another consideration is that Ying Xuan has figured it out.
Restoring the Qin Dynasty does not mean reversing the course of history.
After all, people still have to look forward.
But we must strive for some success in this Ming Dynasty.
Now there is nothing better than following the crowd and pretending to be a ghost.
This attracted the attention of Emperor Jiajing, and a more shortcut method was found.
To deal with Jiajing, who is keen on cultivating immortals, for Ying Xuan, it is simply a matter of hand.
I wonder if my cheap father Ying Zheng is also obsessed with the golden elixir avenue and will eat the elixir to death.
Ying Xuan was somewhat comfortable dealing with the superstitious emperor.
