Chapter 84: The colt of a tiger and a leopard is not yet educated, but it has the energy to eat cattle It is just as Mr. Qiu said. Huang Junshi did not attack the Yudai River Water Palace directly. He just turned into a golden light and circled above the water palace, giving a very subtle warning. Firstly, his gentlemanly character made it impossible for him to punish without teaching; Secondly, the Celestial Empire has not deprived the Jade Belt River God of his throne. We are all colleagues and can fight with each other, but we cannot kill each other directly. Unless it was the case where Tao Tie killed eighty-seven disciples. The Liuxian County Government, the City God's Underworld, and the Immortal God's Department have already obtained solid evidence of the Eighty-Seven Sons' illegal and criminal activities. With approval from their superiors, they have officially launched a reasonable and legal joint arrest operation. As long as it is not intentional, there will be no accidental injuries or killings during the arrest due to the arrestee's violent resistance. Not only is he not guilty, but he is also meritorious. This is how Tao Tie became a ninth-rank official. Of course, if Huang Junshi really wanted to go his own way, it was not impossible for him to directly kill the Yudai River God with one sword.
The necessary procedures will be completed afterwards. Considering how much the Celestial Empire values Huang Junshi and the intention of establishing the Immortal God Division, the Celestial Empire will definitely not say anything, let alone do anything. Huang Junshi will definitely not be guilty and will not be blamed by his superiors. However, doing so might play into the hands of the third branch of the Yu family. Trust and respect are such intangible things, just like favors. Once they are used, they are gone. If you use it too much, it will not only become nothing, but also become negative. Then, it will be time to counterattack. A thousand-mile long dam can be destroyed by a single ant hole. Yudai River Water Palace. The Jade Belt River God heaved a sigh of relief when he found that the golden light just flashed around and left, and did not fall down to kill people. As the god of water, he was sweating all over and was really scared. "Brother Yu, I'm not saying you..." A Taoist priest sitting opposite the Jade Belt River God suddenly spoke up, "You are a fish who has achieved success in cultivation and was canonized as a god by the Heavenly Dynasty. Your surname is Yu, not Yu. Why would you risk your life for the Yu family to such an extent?" "Ugh!" The water god of Yudai River sighed deeply and said nothing more. Is He a complete fool who doesn't know how to protect himself? Unfortunately, I am at the mercy of others. The Yu family has a hold over me. What can I do if I don't obey their orders? Perhaps he saw what the Jade Belt River God was thinking, so the Taoist said, "It's true that the Yu family has a handle on you. It's also true that you can't deal with the Yu family and can't get that handle back. Why don't you look at the problem from a different perspective? Why do you have to keep going down this path and just run into a wall until you die?" "Hmm? Change your thinking? How?" The Jade Belt River God cried out in surprise, then stood up and bowed to the Taoist priest, earnestly pleading, "Please, fellow Taoists of the Five Daos, save me! I will reward you handsomely!" It turned out that this Taoist was no one else but the Wutong Taoist who had been hit by a golden light spell and a thunderbolt from Old Qiu at the gate of Liuxian County that night. After being warned, he dared not enter the city.
No one knew how he found such connections, but he was able to enter the Yudai River Water Palace and become a guest of honor of the Yudai River God. These days I have been enjoying delicious food, drinks, singing and dancing all day long, it's really a great time. At the same time, he also watched with a cold eye what was happening inside and outside the Yudai River. He watched the Yu family members each having their own thoughts and fighting with each other, and also watched the Yudai River God tighten the rope around his neck step by step. Out of consideration for a peaceful and enjoyable life, the Wutong demon does not want to lose his meal ticket as the Water God of Yudai River for the time being. Therefore, during the process of the Yudai River God tightening the rope, he gave several suggestions in an attempt to stop the Yudai River God from doing stupid things. In retrospect, every suggestion given by Wutong Yaodao, even if it was not the optimal solution, was a relatively more correct approach. If the water god of Yudai River really did as Wutong Yaodao suggested, and took a series of actions to gradually distance himself from the Yu family and completely surrender to the imperial court, he might be in a difficult situation for a while, but he would never be in danger of being hit by a sword at any time like he is now. How could the sword of the suspected third-rank sword immortal Huang Junshi be so easy to deal with? Every time the demon Wutong thought of the sword light that day, he trembled with fear. You have to know that he is also a ruthless man who could escape from the inner nine states to the outer eighteen states while facing the encirclement and suppression of the Celestial Empire. He is not a person who has gained his reputation in vain, and he has faced great monks of the third rank before. Even the Wutong demon managed to escape from the sword of a second-rank great monk! However, facing that sword, he had no choice but to dodge. In the end, he couldn't even hide, so he could only tie up his good brother to die for him, and then he took the initiative to offer to lead the way in exchange for a chance to escape. After completing the task of leading the way, Mingming really wanted to escape from the three southwestern states and go to the Baiwan Mountains. Why did he suddenly change his mind and let his good brother explore the way first? Isn't it because he is afraid that if he doesn't get the Sword Immortal's consent, he will be chased and killed with a sword on the way to the Million Mountains, or after he reaches the Million Mountains? Therefore, in the eyes of Wutong Yaodao, the Yu family, at least the people from the third branch of the Yu family, have already embarked on a path of no return. It is a pity that the Yudai River God, who has such a good meal ticket, died with him. Thinking of this, Wutong Yaodao helped the Jade Belt River God up and said seriously: "Brother Yu, I can't save you. The person who can save you is far away in the sky, but right in front of you." "Ok?" The water god of Yudai River was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized who the Wutong demon was talking about. A trace of difficulty appeared on his face. It’s not that I think what Wutong Yaodao said is unreasonable, but if I really do that, some problems must be solved in advance. For example, he only gave away one water-repellent bead that could only repel ordinary water as a gift to the sword immortal's new disciple. Wutong Yaodao knew about this matter. When he saw the difficulty on Yudai River God's face, he immediately understood what He was worried about and said with a smile, "This is easy." "Please teach me, fellow Wutong!" The eyes of the Yudai River God lit up, and he was about to bow again. Wutong Yaodao stopped the Jade Belt River God's action: "The one who tied the bell must untie it. Brother Yu can take this opportunity to come and apologize in person, give enough compensation, and then take the opportunity to ask for surrender. As long as your attitude is sincere and the wording is appropriate, I think the Sword Immortal will accept Brother Yu's surrender, and then come forward to take the handle on Brother Yu held by the Yu family. In this way, Brother Yu, wouldn't it be wonderful?" After hearing these words, the water god of Yudai River was immediately cheered up and agreed with them deeply.
I immediately began to think about what kind of apology I should prepare and what words I should use. And how to visit and apologize. If he could successfully join the Sword Immortal's sect, how could he naturally and unpretentiously point out the role of the Five Taoist Fellows in this matter. Tao Tie, who was visited by the Yudai River God, was talking to Chu Mingtu who had found Wuwei Village. "You said that Mengxi Sanren from Jingling Mountain wanted you to tell me a few words about the water ghosts at Xiaomoqiao Wharf, but you didn't dare to agree on your own, so you came to ask me for instructions?" After listening to Chu Mingtu's purpose, Tao Tiefu asked again in words he understood to confirm it. "That's right, Mr. Tao." Chu Mingtu nodded to confirm this statement. Tao Tie couldn't help but fall into deep thought. According to the current situation, as the ninth-rank inspector of the Immortal God Department of Liuxian County, Tao Tie is indeed not suitable to have private contact with Mengxi Sanren who represents Jingling Mountain. Even though both of them are bright and noble, people in the world always like to do mean things and like to speculate about people in a mean way. It would be fine if we met in private and no one found out. If someone finds out, I don't know what kind of dirty water will be thrown at me. Or it could be said that Tao Tie took money and property from Jingling Mountain, or that Tao Tie was in cahoots with Jingling Mountain. After all, the complete withdrawal of Jingling Mountain from Liuxian County is an established fact. Even though the break with the long-time ally, the Yu family, was not too obvious, anyone with a discerning eye could see it. In short, there is suspicion of being in a melon field and a plum field. Therefore, using Chu Mingtu as an intermediary to say a few words is a good way to avoid this situation. But it’s not completely good. I don’t know what considerations Mengxi Sanren had in mind when making this decision. Tao Tie thought about it carefully and decided not to adopt this method, but he was interested in what Mengxi Sanren wanted to say. So he said, "Mr. Chu, please find a way to reply to Mengxi Sanren, saying that it is too troublesome to bring the message, why not meet in the Immortal God Department to discuss it, then, I will ask the chief steward to be a witness." Chu Mingtu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately agreed and left quickly. Looking at Chu Mingtu, who looked a little gloomy when he came, and looked so happy when he left, Tao Tie began to guess something. Perhaps, what Mengxi Sanren wanted from the very beginning was not for Chu Mingtu to deliver the message, but a meeting witnessed by the teacher? If you think carefully about the change in Jingling Mountain's position that was expressed in various ways after Mengxi Sanren came down the mountain, it is indeed possible. But guesses are just guesses after all, so there is no need to think too much about them. There are more pressing matters at hand.
Tao Tie withdrew his thoughts and waved to Mo Yuhan and Taoist Qingyun who had finished their work. "Inspector General, do you have any instructions for us?" The two of them quickly came in front of Tao Tie. Seeing that Taoist Qingyun seemed unwilling to talk again, Mo Yuhan took the initiative to ask for instructions. "No instructions." Tao Tie waved his hand gently, and then asked, "Are your thoughts clear?" Mo Yuhan smiled but said nothing. Taoist Qingyun waved his whisk and replied seriously: "I... my thoughts are not clear." This change in self-proclaimed name was inconspicuous, but it indicated something. That is, if he cannot make his thoughts clear as a government official, Taoist Qingyun will have to find a way to make his thoughts clear as a Taoist practitioner. Tao Tie was very satisfied with this. "Have the household department send the stolen goods back to the government office, gather all the people, and follow us to Yueyuji." Tao Tie emphasized, "We need to make a bigger noise, put out all the banners, the more people notice us the better, understand?" "understand!" How could Mo Yuhan and Taoist Qingyun not know what Tao Tie was planning, and they immediately obeyed the order loudly. Not long after, the two of them carried out Tao Tie's orders. One hundred and six official, temporary and extra-staff inspectors unfurled all the flags that were not fully displayed during the attack on Liuhe Lianhuanwu. In an instant, flags were flying above the head of Wuwei Village, and occasionally one or two long and low horn sounds were heard. The formation is very powerful and the sound is very loud. Those who had been paying attention to the situation here were immediately attracted to it. Having just destroyed Liuhe Lianhuanwu, what is the Immortal God Division going to do next? "Set off." Tao Tie didn't care how many people were paying attention to him, either openly or secretly. He waved his hand and walked ahead. This time, he did not turn into a wisp of breeze and rush to Yueyuji at high speed. Instead, he led Mo Yuhan, Taoist Qingyun, and 106 inspectors, and sailed downstream on a sailboat seized from Wuwei Village. Yueyuji is located at the last hooked point of the "J"-shaped section of Yudai River in Liuxian County, not far from Wuwei Village. But it was stuck perfectly in the pass in the lower reaches of Yudai River. It is extremely suitable for monitoring the river or setting up ambushes. It can be said to be a vital point and a place that military strategists must fight for. Since Liuxian County is going to dredge the Yudai River, such a good place cannot be left to other people's hands.
It must be brought under the jurisdiction of the county government. In the task of sorting out the Yudai River that Huang Junshi gave to Tao Tie, the most important thing has never been Liuhe Lianhuanwu, but Yueyuji. And the Yudai River Water Temple on the reef. Tao Tie had originally planned to have a good negotiation with the temple keeper, persuading him to move out of the temple and build another one on a new site. However, the temple keeper did not give the man a chance to speak up and not only disgusted him with the extremely strong fishy smell, he also cursed him. Is it tolerable or mature? He did not attack on the spot, but went back to the Immortal God Division first, just to make sure that the teacher would come forward to deal with the Jade Belt River God. In this way, if he took tough action against Yueyuji, he would not bring trouble to the teacher. How did the teacher do it? On the surface, he advised him not to be stingy and to be magnanimous, but in reality he took action himself not long after. Tao Tie saw the golden light clearly as it flashed across the sky. Whether it is to warn or kill the water god of Yudai River, it is the greatest support for him. Tell him that you are no longer the rootless duckweed you used to be. You have someone to rely on, and that support is strong. There is no need to look ahead and behind when doing things, and there is no need to be tolerant when being a person! Get started when it's time to get started! At that time, he wanted to kill the monk directly, but he did not do it because of some concerns. Tao Tie had some confused thoughts in his mind. After being taught so much by his teacher, Tao Tie was no longer willing to endure it. I want to be arrogant and reckless for once. It's natural for young people to be like this! Before he knew it, the even more powerful third patrol team had already arrived near Yueyuji. Perhaps it sensed that something was wrong, or perhaps the Yudai River Water Temple's defense measures were automatically triggered. A layer of light covered all directions of Yueyuji from top to bottom. As a result, the ship of the Immortal God Division could not reach a place where it could land. Can only stay in Yudai River. "Inspector General, do you want to send someone to make a statement?" Mo Yuhan didn't even need to see Taoist Qingyun to know that he had to ask this question himself. Otherwise, Taoist Qingyun would be so exhausted that he wouldn't even fart. "Shout?" Tao Tie looked at the sudden surge of water after the Xianshensi boat came near Yueyuji, and asked in surprise, "Why are you shouting? What are you shouting?" The sound of sword chanting was then heard.
The swords of the people on the boat began to vibrate happily again, waiting to be called. The same is true for the magic sword in Mo Yuhan's hand. Tao Tie then asked: "Where is this place? Are there any buildings? You know, I have always had poor eyesight." Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Even though the Dengzhen List, Ruyi List and Qianlong List were not released yesterday, there were many people in Liuxian County, Siming Prefecture and even the entire Cangyun Prefecture who were studying Tao Tie. After only one day on the Hidden Dragon List, this research had already progressed to the point where it was almost revealed that Tao Tie’s elementary school performance was not ideal. Who wouldn't know that the patrol has helped you develop the physical supernatural powers of "Clairvoyance" and "Super Hearing"? You said your eyesight has always been bad, who are you trying to fool? However, Tao Tie's eyesight was really bad at this time. Because he has used his clairvoyance in reverse and cannot see it. Amid the stunned gazes, Tao Tie said, "As everyone knows, I took the governor as my teacher. The teacher was originally an instructor at the Missionary Academy, and I was also a student at the Missionary Academy. What is a Missionary Academy? It is a place to spread the great Dao to the world. What is the great Dao? When the great Dao is practiced, the world is for all." After hearing this, many people became even more stunned and couldn't understand what Tao Tie was trying to do. I always feel a little crazy, and my brain circuits are very abnormal. Tao Tie ignored him and continued: “People call you the Sword Immortal, and you are also very good at the Taiyi Light-Splitting Sword. As a disciple, I naturally have to learn it. As an instructor in a missionary school, the teacher has the responsibility to spread the great doctrine. When the teacher is busy, the disciples should do the work. The teacher is now busy with official duties and has little time to spread the great Dao. As a disciple, even though I have a low level of cultivation and low ability, I have no choice but to do my best to share the teacher's worries." The speech became increasingly confusing, logical yet incoherent. Gives people a well-behaved feeling. But after hearing this, almost everyone present, whether they were paying attention openly or secretly, understood what Tao Tie was going to do. Then I heard Tao Tie say: "This sword, Taiyi splits the light, and all the swords return to their origin, is what my teacher taught me. Please judge how well I have learned it and whether I will embarrass my teacher." As soon as the words were spoken, the clanging sounds continued. But it was not just the swords of the people on the boat that responded to Tao Tie's call. Instead, all the swords in the entire Liuxian County, whether they were sharp swords, magic swords or flying swords, were ringing! As long as the owners of these swords do not stop it, or try to stop it but fail. These swords will cross houses and towers, mountains and rivers, return to their roots and gather together, singing to their heart's content. Mo Yuhan and Taoist Qingyun were extremely shocked. Mengxi Sanren, who had not yet returned to Jingling Mountain, was extremely surprised. Yu Yingying, who had been waiting for Mr. Hu to speak, couldn't help but glare at the sight.
In the county literature pavilion, Li Jianyan, who had been silent for a long time after Qiu Wanru left, showed a look of surprise on his face. The county magistrate Miao Zongren and the city god Ke Youqiu, who had sat together to discuss something at some point, looked at each other. Chu Mingtu was ecstatic. Huang Junshi and Mr. Qiu were pleased. Even though this sword was still a little lacking in skill, it had a bit of the flavor of a sword immortal. Those who practice spiritual practice need to tread carefully and be cautious, but they also need to be open-minded and forge ahead. How can we get to the other side without doing this? Many times when you are in danger you just have to take a chance! In the water temple at Yueyuji, the middle-aged woman who worships the temple is terrified. Such a vision, such power... A mere eighth rank, how is that possible? (End of this chapter)
