Chapter 63: Go back and tell your governor to be a good person
The whole city was filled with blood, and there was no one to clean up the corpses on the streets. The people were trying to protect themselves. Who would dare to try their luck? Except for a few people who coveted the bulging money bags on the waists of the corpses and rushed to the streets when no one was around, grabbed the money bags and ran away, who else would there be?
Two figures appeared on the street. The leading man held an open Umbrella of All People in his hand and shuttled through the group of corpses, chanting incantations. Souls condensed among the corpses. Those were the souls of the villains, and even when they were just condensed, they were still hideous and ferocious.
The Umbrella of All Peoples is where the soul of all peoples resides.
Such evil men are not worthy of living there.
As the evil souls poured into the Umbrella of All People, the Taoist souls in the umbrella became completely active and excited.
"Quick, quick, quick, the Taoist priest is sending evil spirits in again, hurry up and grab them."
"There are so many of them this time, and the Taoist priest is out there eliminating evil and promoting good. Good, great. It's a pity that when I was in trouble before, there was no savior like the Taoist priest."
"Why are you so sentimental? You talk too much nonsense. Start eating quickly. If you're late, there will be nothing left. Look at those Qingshe Dao brothers. They just open their mouths and show off. Who can beat them?"
"That makes sense."
The Qingshe Dao Soul with Xiaohu caught an evil soul and handed it to Xiaohu, "Swallow him, and you can transform into a ghost. Keep working hard to transform into a gray ghost. Remember, you can't do without hard work here. One step slow, all steps slow. The Taoist priest can't bear to see the sufferings of the world, and there will definitely be other Dao Souls coming in. Don't be defeated by the latecomers when the time comes."
Xiaohu, who did not have much experience with ghosts, tried to swallow an evil spirit for the first time under the instruction of Qingshe Daohun. With a light inhalation, the evil spirit turned into smoke and entered his body through his mouth and nose.
Qingshe Daohun nodded with satisfaction.
It's always like this at the beginning.
From being confused to having a little understanding and gradually becoming a veteran.
He believed that under his guidance, the little tiger would become a true Qingshe Daohun in the future.
The streets are empty.
The people hid in their homes and kept a vigilant eye on what was happening outside.
"Miao Miao, I find that eliminating evil and promoting good really drains your physical strength. If I were not strong and healthy with endless energy, I really would not be able to finish it in such a short time."
Lin Fan felt that the most fortunate thing since he came down the mountain was his encounter with Master Gui Wu and obtaining the Buddhist Demon Subduing Fist. Under the deduction of his supreme Taoist wisdom, he upgraded the Demon Subduing Fist to Compassionate Demon Deliverance.
Since then, his own strength and physical fitness have reached an unprecedented level of increase.
Cat Miaomiao said: "Miaomiao is actually willing to share the burden with the Taoist priest."
Lin Fan stopped and looked at Miaomiao the cat. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Miaomiao, I've discovered that you've made a lot of progress during this period of time. I'd like to share some thoughts with you at this moment."
"Please teach me the Dharma, Taoist priest." Mao Miaomiao said hurriedly.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "We cultivators believe in Taoism not gods but the way of nature. We learn Taoism not superstition but inheritance and wisdom. You have inherited wisdom very well. As for cultivation, what do you think I am cultivating now?"
Facing the Taoist's question, Mao Miaomiao fell into deep thought for the first time in her life. At this moment, unimaginable operating processes were shaking in her mind.
"Compassion, the Taoist priest cultivates compassion." Mao Miaomiao thought of the first time she met the Taoist priest and what she had seen with her own eyes along the way. What the Taoist priest did seemed to be bloody, but when she thought about it carefully, they were acts of compassion.
Lin Fan was surprised and asked casually. He never thought that Mao Miaomiao could give him any ideas, but now it seems that Miaomiao's changes have indeed exceeded his imagination.
“Excellent.”
“Meow.”
Cat Miaomiao was very happy. She had never felt so proud and pleased.
I really want to share this with my sister, but unfortunately she’s not here. But it’s okay, I’ll talk to her later.
"Master, the people around here have many misunderstandings. Why don't I go and explain the situation to them, let them know that what you are doing is actually to eliminate evil and promote good, and remove the whip from their bodies." Mao Miaomiao volunteered.
Lin Fan said: "No need, you will understand it when the time comes."
"Yes, Taoist priest."
…
At night, with the departure of the Taoist priest, the people hiding in their houses dared to come out to see what was going on. When they learned that the county magistrate had been killed, they were shocked and horrified.
At the same time, the people who were released from the dungeon by the Taoist priest also spread the news that the Taoist priest said he would get rid of the evil people for them.
They suddenly realized.
The Taoist priest is not a murderer, but a master who enforces justice on behalf of heaven.
At this time, in the shantytown in the west of the city.
The extremely shabby house was not conspicuous because all the houses around it were like that. Compared with the county magistrate's luxurious mansion, this house was probably not even as good as the county magistrate's doghouse.
Dogs live in the kennel, but people live here.
Inside the house.
A woman sat blankly on the edge of the bed, her head tilted, her face pressed against the rattle in her hand.
A gust of cold wind swept through the house.
“Boom boom boom!”
There was a knock on the door.
The woman was still sitting there, ignoring the knocks on the door, until a childish voice was heard, which brought the dazed woman back to her senses.
"mother!"
The woman was startled and the rattle in her hand fell to the ground. She hurriedly opened the door, but when she saw the child standing outside, she was stunned. Her eyes rolled back and she took several steps back. She raised her hands to hug the child, but she didn't dare.
"Mom, I'm Xiaohu."
In the darkness outside the courtyard.
Three figures stood there silently.
Fox Daji looked at the woman who was holding Xiaohu in her arms and crying with joy, and realized that following the Taoist priest, what they experienced every day was not fighting and killing, but more about the family affection hidden in the sufferings of the world. This increased their few emotional understandings as demons.
She looked at the Taoist priest who was casting a spell with his fingers.
I really admire him.
Xiaohu has just become a ghost. Ghosts have no entity, but in order to reunite the mother and son and allow them to touch each other, the Taoist priest cast a spell from a distance to bless Xiaohu, while also preventing Xiaohu's Yin energy from eroding the woman, otherwise the Yin energy would enter the body, causing illness at the very least, and permanent illness at the worst.
It also makes Xiaohu's face look more rosy.
Looks like an ordinary person.
Who can say that the Taoist priest is not careful? The Taoist priest has always been careful, okay?
Inside the house.
"Mom, I'm dead." Xiaohu said truthfully. When his mother told him to live a good life in the future, Xiaohu could only tell the cruel truth.
"How could that be? Xiaohu has temperature and his blood is so healthy, how could he die?"
"Mom, really, I was a wandering ghost, and I was so scared every day. Later, I met a Taoist priest, who gave me a place to live. There I met many wandering ghosts like me. There was an uncle named Qingshe Taoist who took good care of me. I will be fine, mom, you have to take care of yourself too, Xiaohu can't be with you anymore."
The woman touched Xiaohu's face, unwilling to believe it was true.
She showed a loving smile, unwilling to let go, "Mom, I won't leave you. Mom wants to stay with Xiaohu. Without Xiaohu, Mom feels that life is meaningless."
After saying that, the woman found a pair of scissors from her sewing box at home.
Seeing this, Fox Daji outside said in shock: "Master, she is going to commit suicide, do you want to stop her?"
Lin Fan looked at it and shook his head. "Choices are personal. Sometimes death is also a new beginning. Do you think a mother would still live after seeing the soul of her child and knowing that the child is dead? She has been able to hold on until now because she believes that the child is just lost, not dead."
At this moment, two souls walked out of the house and headed towards this side.
The woman led Xiao Hu to Lin Fan and knelt before him, "Master, please accept me into the Ten Thousand People Umbrella."
"good."
Lin Fan nodded and cast a spell directly, absorbing the souls of the mother and child into the Umbrella of All People.
Then he walked into the house and looked at the woman with a pair of scissors stuck in her chest.
"Buried it properly."
"Yes, Taoist priest."
…
The next day.
The county magistrate’s residence.
The man and the two monsters stayed here for one night. It was not because they wanted to stay in the county magistrate's mansion, but the inn in the county town closed early and the people were cleaning up the corpses.
What if people don't know what he does, which is to eliminate evil and promote good, and scare them? So he just makes do with it for now.
at this time.
A group of men on horseback and wearing official uniforms of the Supervisory Office entered the city from outside.
The leader was Hong Lei who came from Qingzhou Supervisory Office.
He was wearing a dark blue bullfighting suit with a bullfighting picture painted on the fabric. The bull's horns curved downward, giving him a very strong and powerful look. The edge of the suit was inlaid with gold silk thread, which sparkled in the sun.
The group of people who followed were wearing black clothes, without too many patterns, but they still looked majestic.
Hong Lei was a fifth-rank Qingzhou supervisory official and Li Baishan's superior. When he learned that Han Tianbao was killed by Li Baishan in Ningjun County, he felt like the sky had fallen.
No wonder Li Baishan hurriedly arranged for his family to leave after he returned to Qingzhou with his men. He didn't know about it at the time until the news reached Qingzhou, only then did he discover that it had been premeditated.
"Such a strong smell of blood." Hong Lei raised his hand, signaling his men to be on guard. Then he looked at the bloodstains on the ground that had not been cleaned up, and felt more and more that something else might have happened in Ningjun County.
He looked at the people around him, and saw that they all had happy faces, as if something happy had happened.
This made him a little confused again.
If a tragic murder had occurred, how could the people have such expressions? What was going on?
An old man was passing by carrying a shoulder pole. Hong Lei stopped him and said with a fist: "Old man, may I ask what happened here? Why is the smell of blood so strong? And why didn't the local government send people to clean up the bloodstains, and let the smell of blood permeate?"
Seeing that the person questioning him was wearing an official robe, the old man who was stopped dared not hide anything, but he still couldn't help but said with joy in his heart: "Oh, yesterday there was a Taoist priest who went on a killing spree in our Ningjun County. I thought he was a murderer, but who would have thought that the Taoist priest acted on behalf of heaven and killed all the evil people in Ningjun County for us."
"Before, those evil people stole my land and occupied my house. Now I have land and house, and my life is hopeful."
监察司成员有的嘴角微颤,这老汉有点意思,说的蛮顺口。
洪磊眉头紧蹙,还心喜的老汉收敛笑容,老老实实的待着,虽然心情很好,可眼前的这些都是官呐。
那可是不用理由,就能决定百姓生死的官呀。
洪磊道:“那你们县令呢,官府的人呢?”
老汉道:“官府?官府上下都被砍了,就连咱们县太爷都被砍死了,尸体都还在家里,没人收尸呢。”
听闻此话的洪磊瞬间炸裂,连县太爷都砍死了?
等等,道长?莫非这跟前端时间官府被屠的凶手是同一人不成?想到这里,他大手一挥,“走,出发。”
老汉乖巧恭敬的站在一旁,瞧着那道道骑马远去的背影,“嘿,老汉我可是知道的,道长只杀恶人,希望你们没作恶。”
说完,继续挑着扁担,哼着小曲,乐呵的朝着城外走去,他还得去种地呢。
路途中。
一位监察成员快马赶上洪磊的速度,担忧道:“大人,如果那道士就是先前屠戮县城的凶手,对方的实力怕是很强,以我们现在这些人手,是不是不够,需不要从周边调集些帮手?”
身为青州监察司成员的他们,自身实力都是不俗的。
毕竟他们有时候所面对的,可不仅仅是人,还有那些妖魔鬼怪,要是没点实力,哪能到处办案。
可是那道长造下的杀戮太可怕了。
路过县城,都是百人之上的屠戮,而且被屠戮的都是持刀凶汉,哪怕是他们都做不到这点。
“来不及了。”
洪磊沉声,哪怕那道士真的是凶险万分的主,他也得亲自的碰一碰,他前来此地主要是调查韩天宝的事情,但在他们监察司传的沸沸扬扬的道士灭县府一事,也是引起了极大重视。
像这种大开杀戒,无视朝廷威严的道士,必须得缉拿归案。
否则人人都如此。
朝廷岂不是要乱掉。
府邸。
膳厅。
“道长,你煮的粥真好喝。”猫妙妙感觉太幸福了,道长亲自动手做早饭,而她们只需要在桌边等待着就好。
“好喝,就多喝点,但以后得是你们动手才行,你们跟随在贫道身边,做饭也是一种修行。”林凡说道。
“知道了。”猫妙妙点着头。
而此时的狐妲己却是看向院落,只见一群腰配兵器的人,气势汹汹的朝着膳厅而来,本想起身,却被一旁的道长给拦住了。
洪磊带着人马来到县太爷府邸,进入后,便一眼看到正在膳厅用膳的三人,他深吸口气,踏入膳厅,别的人马则是握住刀柄凝视着正在用餐的三人。
“叮叮!”
进入膳厅的洪磊,随身携带的探妖仪有了反应,脸色微变,目光落在两女身上,倒是没想到这两女竟然是妖。
“早饭吃了嘛?如果没吃,可以一起。”林凡丝毫不慌,笑脸相对,将热情好客表现的淋漓尽致。
“好一个鸠占鹊巢,如果洪某没记错的话,这里应该是县令的家吧。”洪磊说道。
林凡笑着,看了眼奢华的四周,又看了看手里精致的瓷碗,“的确是县令的家,但你觉得一个县令得多少年才能有这样的住宅,这里的每一砖每一瓦可都是普通老百姓的血汗泪,贫道虽是道家,但说到底也是普通老百姓,在这里吃个早饭不过分。”
“呵呵,道长说的是有道理。”洪磊走到桌边,大大咧咧的坐下,身后一位手下去一旁拿碗装粥,随后用银针试试有没有毒。
这一幕都被林凡看在眼里,“小家子气了,贫道自己都在喝,还能放毒不成?”
洪磊道:“出门在外,还是小心的好。”
“大人,粥来了。”手下将粥端到洪磊面前,随后眼神凌厉的盯着林凡,手掌落在刀柄,默默退了数步,距离保持在拔刀便能挥砍的绝对范围内。
林凡将空碗递给狐妲己,妲己起身离桌,随后看向洪磊,“贫道朝天道观玄颠,自下山以来,便斩妖除魔,除恶扬善,路过宁骏县,虽没见到妖,却也见到了恶。”
洪磊瞧着周围两女,笑着道:“道长说笑了,此地怎么可能没妖呢,如果这两位不是妖,那是什么?”
被明点后,林凡也不生气,依旧笑呵呵,“洪大人好眼力,这两位的确是妖,但如今随着贫道修道,算是信徒了。”
洪磊没说话,身后的年轻手下,讥讽道:“是不是信徒还不是你说了算,收了两个如此美貌的妖在身边,谁知道你这道士正不正经。”
刷!刷!两女扭过脑袋,美眸愤愤的盯着那人。
她们不怕别人羞辱她们,但最气的是有人借她们羞辱道长。
要不是跟随道长修行,心性好了许多,肯定冒出利爪,撕碎对方的嘴。
洪磊没有阻拦,仅是眯眼瞧着,倒想看看对方如何回答,他知道此次必有交代,遇到屠戮数县官府的凶手,岂能当做没遇到。
但见到这玄颠后,他突然发现,此人竟然跟他脑海所想的不一样,本以为是那种一眼看穿的妖道,哪能想到对方情绪稳定的不像话。
林凡接过狐妲己递来的碗,说了声谢谢后,笑看着那人,“你这小伙子年纪轻轻,说话带刺厉害的很,不过你倒是跟对了人,贫道也不会因为三言两语就生怒,贫道出自道门正宗,从不滥杀无辜,你不恶,贫道不动你分毫,你要恶,哪怕你敬贫道如神,贫道也不会手下留情。”
就在年轻男子想要反驳的时候,洪磊抬手打断,缓缓道:“玄颠道长,按你的意思,你所杀的都是恶人了?”
“没错,贫道可自信的说,没错杀一位。”林凡道。
“金阳县屠戮那么多人,你敢说没有杀错一位?”洪磊语气拔高,质问着。
林凡瞧着洪磊严肃眼神,道:“为何不敢,贫道自下山从黄狼镇开始,行至长生村,路过永安镇,经过金阳县,哪里都有妖魔邪祟,绝世恶人,全都被贫道杀的干干净净,还有巴山县,那里瘟疫旱灾,可谁能想到那里的瘟疫是县太爷所为呢?”
洪磊大惊,连粥都不喝了,起身直视,道:“你是说你不仅仅在金阳县造下杀戮,还有巴山县也是?”
“嗯,没错,要说此地除了宁骏县,周围还有个庄王镇,贫道同样将那边的恶人清理的干干净净。”林凡没有丝毫隐瞒,做了就做了,绝对不隐瞒,为的就是以防有无辜者替他背锅。
经历过这些,他觉得所谓的官府是能干出这种事情的。
啪!洪磊双掌撑着桌子,双目通红,“你……你简直就是一个疯子,你凭什么认为你所杀的都是罪有应得的恶人。”
他无法接受这样的说法。
好恶分辨全凭一人。
“你看,急什么,别急,心要宁静,毛毛躁躁不好。”林凡压压手,示意对方坐下,“你进入宁骏县的时候,你觉得百姓们的气色如何?”
洪磊不得不承认,道:“的确都很开心。”
“那就对了,贫道所做之事,都是百姓们心中所想却不敢的事情,就如你说贫道如何分好坏,那贫道便告诉你,能让百姓喜欢的人便是好人,让百姓生活在水深火热中的便是恶人,这分辨方法,你觉得如何。”林凡知道对方很急,很难接受他的说法。
不过没事,万事慢慢来。
武力的确容易让人折服,但他的武力往往都是施展在妖魔邪祟与恶人身上的。
洪磊短暂的沉默了,身为朝廷官员,又是监察司的,他如何不知现在的世道如何,可正所谓人在官场身不由己,有的事情是自己无法左右的。
李百善为何杀韩天宝,他知道些。
他也知道李百善的为人如何。
不能说是左右逢源,只能说在原则之内,他遵守自己的原则,当他人触碰其原则的时候,却又无法得罪时,他所想的不是自身,而是家庭。
有的时候是往往身不由己的。
只是他不明白,明明都能忍到现在,如今有何必惹出这烂摊子。
此时,在这群监察司成员中,有位脸上留有伤疤的男子,出声道:“大人,万万不能听他妖言惑众,他屠戮那么多朝廷命官,便是与朝廷作对,将他缉拿归案,带回青州,送到皇城,由圣上发落,得此功劳,李大人的事情或许还有一线生机。”
他说的话,得到众人的认可。
李百善惹出的麻烦,哪怕他们没有参与,但身为青州监察司的一员,或多或少是会受到牵连的,轻则此生无望上升,重则就是韩显贵震怒,让他们青州监察司拿些人出来受罚。
尤其是跟李百善平常关系不错的。
被按上一个同谋之罪。
那也是韩显贵简简单单的一句话而已。
洪磊神色凝重的很,他很想反驳玄颠的话,但他自身所处的环境本就不清明,因此连反驳的底气都没有。
想要站在道德制高点批判一人,那自身得行得正,坐得端。
否则就是空中阁楼,无根之木。
林凡微笑起身,目光落在伤疤男身上,随后转移开,走到他们之中,扫视一圈,缓缓道:“不错,在贫道眼里洪大人带的人都非常不错,但很可惜,任何洁白之物,终究会有一抹黑点,就比如这位。”
6◇9◇书◇吧
说完,他将手指指向伤疤男。
伤疤男惊愣,如受到林凡气势影响似的,忍不住的后退半步,随即底气涌现,挺拔腰杆,呵斥道:“本官怎么了?”
众人都不解此时的情况,玄颠为何要单独指着勇哥。
勇哥是他们这里除了洪大人之外,官职最高的,跟李百善的官职一样,但在青州监察司里地位还是稍逊半筹的。
林凡道:“你在他人眼里隐瞒的很好,但在贫道眼里,你浑身邪气缠绕,不似妖,不似鬼,你似魔,你是不是学了邪术,以人的精气血神修炼。”
啊?听到此话的众人震惊万分。
啥?对方竟然说勇哥修行邪术。
开什么玩笑。
勇哥可是修行武道的,哪来的什么邪术。
吴勇心中一慌,强装镇定道:“妖道,你胡言乱语,你滥杀无辜,如今又挑拨我,你何等居心。”
监察司成员们,倒是没那么轻而易举的相信林凡说的。
毕竟吴勇是他们多年的同僚。
岂会随随便便的相信外人所说的话。
“挑拨?不,当贫道将你点明时,便是贫道斩妖除魔之时。”林凡气势一沉,慈悲度魔拳法爆发,一拳轰出。
“放肆。”洪磊惊怒,提刀挥砍而来,林凡转身回击,在洪磊看来,这一拳力重势沉,横刀胸前,砰的一声,刀碎裂,一股沉闷之力将他震的连连后退,单手反撑桌边,桌子哗啦四分五裂,才堪堪稳住身形。
周围监察司成员动手。
林凡掐指施展烂疮法,他们脚面以肉眼可见的速度浮现脓疮,痛得他们无法行走,瘫倒在地哀嚎着,有的连忙脱掉鞋子,当看到脚板脓疮时,吓得脸色苍白。
当然,也有人武道凝出内气,能够以此抵挡一二。
但这仅仅能抵挡一两秒,便如他人一样龇牙咧嘴,忍着剧痛。
砰!此时的吴勇倒飞而出,大口吐着血液,他没想到这臭道士竟然如此凶猛,就连精铁宝刀都被对方一拳轰碎。
简直可怕。
“臭道士,你这是要杀朝廷命官。”
“妖魔住嘴,在贫道眼里,你便是害无辜性命的妖魔之辈。”林凡怒声呵斥。
吴勇深知自身与对方的差距。
如果不拿出真正的本事,恐怕很难应对。
以往隐瞒便是不想暴露,如今到这种时候,也就没有隐瞒的必要了。
吴勇低吼一声,一股煞气从体内爆发,颈脖处的皮肤浮现扭曲如蚯蚓般的黑线,不断从脖子处蔓延到面部。
随着煞气爆发,吴勇抬脚踏地,地面凹陷深坑,四肢皮肤鼓胀,肌肉充盈,裸露在外的双手指甲呈现黑色,散发着丝丝黑雾。
洪磊震惊的看着眼前的情况,吴勇的变化从未见过。
莫非玄颠道长所说的都是真的不成。
想到这里。
“玄颠道长手下留情,哪怕他罪该万死,也该由监察司审判。”洪磊急忙喊道。
林凡道:“无法手下留情,但凡出现在贫道面前的妖魔邪祟,都该被贫道所除。”
话落。
林凡调动体内旱精三魂凝聚拳上,浓郁的邪性爆发,拳头上所弥漫的黑雾比吴勇的要更加霸道。
一拳轰出,旱精三魂的所有怨气覆盖吴勇,震慑的吴勇精神恍惚,无法动弹,噗嗤一声,低头一看,道长的拳头轰穿了他的胸膛。
“道……”
吴勇张着嘴,刚说些什么,突然,他只觉得体内血液与精气神仿佛被一头嗜血的饿狼盯住似的,疯狂的流失着,速度之快,让他难以反应过来。
顷刻间。
吴勇身体干瘪,化作一具干尸。
【功德+0.4】
周围监察司的人看到这一幕,一个个被吓得目瞪口呆。
说吴勇修炼邪法。
那你这又是什么情况?看着不比吴勇差多少,甚至还要凶猛无数倍的好不好。
林凡解除对他们的烂疮法,他们脚底的烂疮顷刻消散,洪磊跑到吴勇身边,木讷的看着躺在地上的干尸,刷的扭头死死盯着林凡。
“玄颠道长,你说吴勇修行邪法,那你这又是什么?”洪磊吼道。
监察司的成员们同样如此,哪怕他们知道眼前的玄颠很恐怖,但如果所有的对错,都是对方一言之堂,那他们也不会心服口服。
“你们想知道?”林凡道。
“想。”
“好,贫道如你们所愿。”
林凡没有隐藏,刹那间道云盖日,旱精扭曲的三魂猛地从其体内涌现而出,顿时周围的情况变得扭曲起来,无尽的怨气侵蚀着现场所有人。
被怨气笼罩着的他们,深深感受到一种绝望与无助,有的精神受到冲击,浑身不断颤抖着。
洪磊强忍着这股不适,死死盯着生平所见最为恐怖的一幕。
缠绕扭曲的三魂,无数魂魄在狰狞嘶吼咆哮着。
随着林凡将旱精三魂收到体内,种种恐怖异象消散。
“如你所看到的,这是旱精三魂,巴山县旱灾就是它的原因,但你们以为这是自然形成的嘛,错,这是黄天教为了炼制护教精怪,将无数活生生的人扔进烈焰之中焚烧着,魂魄不散,相互缠绕,相互融合,肉身与精神饱受折磨,凝聚世间最为恐怖的怨气。”
“贫道以自身道体将其融入体内,用浩然正气压制与超度,你们觉得贫道修行的是邪法吗?”
林凡看着洪磊,等待着对方的回应。
“这……”洪磊一时间不知如何回答。
“世道如何,你们都不是瞎子,应该都能看得到,贫道下山不为别的,只为斩妖除魔,除恶扬善,你们认为贫道是妖道那便妖道,因为贫道无需你们的认可,只需天下苍生认可贫道的所作所为便足矣。”林凡背对着他们,说完此话后,抬脚离去,“走吧。”
两女急忙跟随着,离开的时候,还很愤怒的瞪着他们。
“玄颠道长请等等,你一路清除朝廷官员,你可想过一座地方如果没有官员会如何?”洪磊喊道。
林凡停下脚步,笑着道:“可笑,有了他们又能如何,从上到下能有几个为民的,我劝洪大人还是多接触接触底层百姓所遇到的烦心事,而不是在你所在的层次晃荡着,你所看到,让你不满之事,只是权贵间的交易,却无法看到权贵对百姓们的压迫是何等的残忍。”
洪磊被此话击中内心深处,但还是道:“那道长要杀到何时?”
“杀到百姓不需要贫道的时候。”
“道长,你这是要毁掉朝廷。”
“不是贫道要毁朝廷,而是朝廷自己毁灭自己,洪大人,贫道问你一句话,你们青州那边,知州如何,待你回青州劳烦带句话给你们大人,贫道一路斩妖除魔,它日来到青州,可要做好准备了。”
这番话让现场众人心神大震。
他们没想到世间竟然还有这样的人。
完完全全就是凭借一人之力,想要跟整个世道的不公对抗。
“大,大人,现在我们怎么办?”有人开口询问。
洪磊迷茫的很。
怎么办?你们问我,我能去问谁?
拦住玄颠道长嘛,哪能拦得住,谁都拦不住。
“回去,回青州。”洪磊说道。
“现在回青州,我们如何交代?”
“如实交代。”
……
此时。
街道。
百姓们纷纷将视线转移在行走在街道的林凡三人。
有的百姓匆匆从屋里跑出来,站在街道边缘观望着。
林凡一袭红道袍,背着伞,别着斧,带着两女朝着城门口走去,由于经过他的大清洗,宁骏县的氛围好了许多。
没有那些乱七八糟提着刀的恶汉在街头耀武扬威。
“敢问道长道号。”有百姓鼓起勇气喊道。
“贫道玄颠。”
“敢问道长来自哪家道观。”
“朝天道观。”
林凡并未隐瞒,如实说着。
“多谢道长。”
“多谢道长。”
百姓们高呼着,欢送着,言语间满是真诚,渐渐地,街道早就挤满了人。
此时,洪磊他们在林凡前脚离开府邸后,后脚也离开了,骑着马跟随在后面,看着城中百姓这般发自内心的欢送,说实话,此等场面大为震撼。
监察司的成员们默不出声。
他们入监察司到现在,何时遇到过这种情况,貌似遥想,好像很久之前去过某镇,镇长也组织过百姓们欢送。
但那些百姓脸上却无笑容,更像是逢场作戏。
“如果这次来宁骏县的是崔颖翊,那该多好。”一位成员嘀咕着。
洪磊没有听到,如果听到,就会怒瞪一眼,有的人不能提的规矩不懂吗?
但靠近的成员却是听得清清楚楚,默不出声的看了眼对方。
Cui Yingyi is the second-in-command of the Qingzhou Supervisory Office. He has an extraordinary identity as he is a child of the Cui family, one of the five noble families. Not only does he not give face to anyone in the Supervisory Office, he doesn't even give face to the Qingzhou prefect.
As for what kind of person he is, there is no need to say much.
at this time.
Originally, the road out of the city was not long, but now they followed behind and walked for half an hour. From a distance, they could vaguely see many people gathered at the city gate.
"Sir, what exactly is Chaotian Taoist Temple? Why have I never heard of it before?"
Hong Lei shook his head. He had never heard of Chaotian Taoist Temple. It seemed that he had to investigate it carefully when he returned. He just didn't know what he would face this time.
Now it seems that everything is calm and nothing is happening.
That’s because the news of Han Tianbao’s death had not yet reached Han Xiangui’s ears.
Once found out.
That's when the storm comes.
…
Somewhere on a lonely road.
Several horse-drawn carriages were traveling on the path. Although the drivers were wearing plain clothes, they all looked energetic and it was obvious at first glance that they were definitely not ordinary people.
From time to time, the sound of children playing could be heard in the carriage.
The man driving the carriage looked at the carriage from time to time with a smile on his face.
At this time, a man in a headscarf followed from behind, "Brother Li, Xinghua Town is ahead, shall we go there?"
Li Baishan pondered, "No, the geographical location of Xinghua Town is easily exposed. We have to go to a farther place, otherwise once we are tracked, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Okay, I understand." The turbaned man nodded, turned around and ran back to his carriage.
For Li Baishan, the escape process was quite smooth. He returned to Qingzhou without attracting anyone's attention. He simply took his family out of the city. Even if asked, he just said he was going for an outing.
Qingzhou learned that it would take time for them to kill Han Tianbao.
And they took advantage of this time difference to transfer and escape.
Ask him if he regrets it.
He can only say that he has no regrets.
His only regret was that if he had known this would happen, he would definitely not drag down these brothers and colleagues.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Suddenly, a stranger appeared in front of me.
This startled Li Baishan, and he instantly became alert, slowly reaching for the hilt of the knife behind him.
The stranger in front of me was wearing a straw hat and holding a wooden stick. I couldn't see his face and didn't know who he was.
Sudden.
Something was thrown at him and he thought it was a hidden weapon, but when he looked carefully, he found it was not. He reached out to catch it, but when he saw the object clearly, his face changed.
There were only six words written on a stone.
"Xinghua Town, Shi Shanqian."
The first three words don’t matter.
Only the last three words.
How could Li Baishan not be shocked? Suddenly, he remembered something. It was a long time ago when he followed his master to learn martial arts. Someone came to visit his master and said at the first sight of him that he had a calamity in his life, but his future would be wonderful.
He didn't take it seriously at the time and asked his master who that was.
The master only said 'the best in the world'.
Li Baishan was in deep thought, holding the stone tightly and crushing it. When the two sides passed by, no one spoke, and they didn't even look at each other. They just passed by like this.
"Xinghua Town."
Li Baishan knew who Shi Shanqian was and also knew his abilities.
If you were to ask whether there are still living gods in the world.
Then he might be one of them.
In that case, then let’s go to Xinghua Town.
This was not his trust in Shi Shanqian, but all his trust in his master who had passed away long ago.
Someone who can be called a friend by the master.
Nature is worth believing.
In the distance, Shi Shanqian looked back at the departing convoy, looked up at the sky, observed the mountains, and counted with his fingers.
"This is the place, but it is far from enough. The six auspicious stars, the celebration of the monarch and his subjects, the monarch has not appeared, the subjects have been here, the evil dragon of the court cannot turn back. This place has bred a young dragon, but it has been extremely bumpy. The demons and evil spirits in the world are all eyeing it covetously. I have to hide this immature dragon."
Please give me some monthly tickets, brothers. Thank you.
