On February 2nd, the dragon raises its head, sacrifices to the public, and races the dragon boat.
Time flies, and before you know it, it's the day of the Dragon Gate Conference.
In the county town, every household puts up lanterns and festoons, puts on river lanterns, dragon boats compete on the water, you chase each other, and the gongs and drums on both sides of the bank are noisy, very lively.
But at this time, the big households in Fucheng had already smelled something bad, and the doors of every household were closed tightly.
Secretly, they sent out followers everywhere to inquire about the sheriff's mansion and the Wang family, especially the news about the Longmen meeting.
"My royal family's success or failure is determined by this!"
Inside the palace, Wang Su wore inner armor and a cloak outside. He gathered his clansmen in the clan ancestral hall, and solemnly worshiped the ancestor Wang Zhong.
In the Sheriff's Mansion, it was another scene.
Clap!
The sticks came down continuously, killing several civil servants to the ground in an instant, and the black blood flowed freely, which made people feel chilling.
"The Wang family plotted against the traitor here and conspired to rebel. Before this government had no evidence, they endured it secretly. But today, the evidence is conclusive. No one can tolerate it if they blatantly rebel!"
Li Zhen had a murderous look on his face, and Li Yu followed beside him, and he was not at all moved when he saw the staff killed by the staff.
"The key to the county city lies in the county soldiers! Li Yu!"
"The humble job is here!"
Li Yu stepped forward solemnly and saluted.
In the face of official business, even the private relationship between father and son must be forbidden.
"Go to the barracks quickly and order the county lieutenant to send troops to investigate the chaos and crush the royal family! The rest of the officials, together with the third class of the yamen, patrol the county yamen and suppress the lawlessness!"
"promise!"
Everyone agreed in unison, and morale rose to the extreme.
"I don't know what will happen to Longmen Gorge, what will happen to Longmen? But even if the Wang family's plan succeeds, the old man is enough to fight with the county soldiers, and get rid of this cancer!"
Li Zhen stared in the direction of Longmenxia, his face filled with fortitude.
Almost at the same time, in the palace, after Wang Su offered sacrifices to his ancestors, he also turned his gaze to the direction of Longmen Gorge with anticipation.
…
Longmen Gorge, the very top, is on a huge bluestone plane.
Taoist priests in twos and threes gathered together to pay homage to each other, and Wu Qing was among them, occupying a corner by herself, as cold as an orchid in an empty valley.
Looking down from here, it can be seen that when Wu Ming passed by last time, he saw that a high platform had been set up on the flat ground that was cleaned by someone, and a ceremony was held in a decent manner, and he was still offering sacrifices to Wang Zhong's ancestral hall.
"Are you surprised? Every meeting of the Dragon Gate is divided into bright and dark. The sacrifices in the open are very grand, but in the dark, there are only a few of our Taoist temples, and a few seniors will take action!"
The head of Yunping Daoist Academy is Tong Yan Hefa, who walked to Wu Qing and said softly: "Miaoqing Taoist, I have high expectations for you, this Longmen meeting..."
"I will definitely do my best!"
Wu Qing looked sullen, but her eyes turned unconsciously. She had a noble temperament and received a lot of attention, but one of them was like a thorn.
"Oh? Miaoqing, do you recognize Wang Yu? Or is there a gap?"
Seeing this, the headmaster's eyes flickered, and without waiting for Wu Qing's answer, he said leisurely: "This Wang Yu is a beloved disciple carefully cultivated by fellow Taoists of Shuangyang in the county. The rank of mage makes us old guys feel ashamed... "
The reason why Dazhou respected Taoism because the national teacher of the Yuqing lineage was ordered to go to the disaster, and killed Huang Jie, and made great achievements.
In every county, Taoist temples are built, and once naturalized as a Taoist, they can be exempted from taxation and corvee.
In this world, most of the Taoist cultivators are human immortals, and they can be divided into ranks such as Taoist priests, alchemists, mages, real people, and celestial masters.
Real people are small achievers, and there are not so many in the whole world, which can supply the needs of counties and counties, so most of the masters are also mages!
A sorcerer, who can create a method with his hands, knows the sea talisman and can generate it by himself, and can forge a magic weapon, naturally has the qualification to be a teacher and accept apprentices.
But now, Wu Qing, Wang Yu and other younger generation's favored sons of heaven are catching up head-on.
"Thank you for your concern. Miaoqing will resolve any personal grievances!"
Wu Qing's eyes didn't move, but in the sea of consciousness, a small scarlet sword hummed, carrying a trace of killing intent.
"What a crown!"
On the other side, Wang Yu, who was surrounded by a few Taoists and starred in the moon, but who was free and easy, also moved his eyes, keenly feeling the hostility.
'At first, I thought about accepting her as a concubine, spending a few years to slowly gain the luck of the Phoenix... But now, her brother offended his father, but no one can save her, and I naturally can't leave this danger by my side, After this time, let's take all the help from this woman, and then capture her younger brother and dedicate it to my father! '
Wang Yu rolled up his sleeves, and a hint of sternness flashed across his face: "Father, I will be very happy too..."
In his sleeve, there is a golden talisman. The paper is covered with clouds of smoke, and the strokes are shining brightly, but it is wrapped in a layer of white light, and the slightest breath has not leaked out.
This talisman was bestowed by his ancestor, City God King Zhongtuomeng, with infinite power, and it is the key to this Longmen meeting.
"As long as I get the head of the meeting, take the lead in casting spells, and tear apart the talisman, the big thing will be done!"
A blush appeared on Wang Yu's cheeks.
If things come true this time, not only the Wang family will soar into the sky, but as the person who made the first contribution, his status as the son of the world will also be unshakable.
"Chirp!"
In the middle of reverie, there was a clear cry of a crane piercing the sky and piercing the clouds.
"The real person in charge of this matter is here, I'll go to greet you!"
Hearing the sound of the crane, Yunping Zhangyuan was stunned, and immediately went out together with several other counties' Zhangyuan, Wu Qing, Wang Yu and other outstanding disciples followed closely, and came to the edge of the cliff.
Hoo hoo!
A white dot appeared in the sky, and immediately the wind howled.
As they get closer, everyone can see that the white spot is a huge red-crowned crane with another person riding on its back.
Peng!
The crane landed gracefully, its two iron claws deeply grasped into the blue rock, and it leisurely combed its snow-white feathers with its long beak.
"My Tianhe, I have met fellow Taoists! I am here to preside over this grand event, thanks to the dispatch of the General Maid!"
The person on the crane's back is only four feet tall, with red lips and white teeth, a face like a crown of jade, with two buns tied into the sky, just like a young boy.
"I've seen a real person!"
But Yun Ping and others dared not neglect, and took the head of the court as a courtesy.
"That's all!"
But boy Tianhe waved his hand this time, looking old-fashioned: "I don't like these vain rituals all my life, and it's all about red tape...According to the regulations, this Longmen meeting is first evaluated by the Taoists of each academy, and then the person who presides over the legal affairs is selected , is it the same this year?"
"Let the real person order!"
Several masters looked at each other and laughed.
People who practice Taoism are originally indifferent to their ambitions, but this real person is like this, which shows the childlike innocence of a child, which is very enviable.
"Well... let's start with explaining the scriptures first, see the foundation of each Taoist, and then come to the fighting method..."
When Tianhe boy said this, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and there was a murderous look on his small and delicate face.
Hoo hoo!
The wind and thunder surged and surrounded it, and the red-crowned cranes beside it also spread their wings and croaked, which was astonishingly powerful.
All the Taoists on the platform almost took a few steps back, and Yun Ping asked in shock, "Really, what happened?"
"It's okay... an old friend is over!"
Tianhe boy sneered, took out the formula in his hand, pointed at the crane, and said: "Chi!"
"Chirp!"
There was a trace of gold in the red-crowned crane's eyes, and it flew out like an electric falcon, piercing into a dense forest below.
"Oops... Damn Tianhe, making fun of me, a bad old man..."
Below, in the dark jungle, a red light flashed, and the two grandparents and grandchildren that Wu Ming had seen before appeared.
At this time, the old man was running around with his head in his arms, in a panic. Even the little girl, Bao'er, was holding onto the lapel of grandpa's clothes tightly, with fear in her big eyes.
It was as if the one who caught up was the natural enemy.
The crane, however, disappeared without flying, with sharp eyes, pounced down from time to time, and its iron claws were extremely sharp like knives.
"Ah... don't peck my face, come back! Old ghost Tianhe, I can't finish with you!"
The old man let out a cry, but he did a trick, and the light flashed, and he and the little girl disappeared in an instant.
The crane lost its target, but hovered high in the sky, making a long cry.
"Hey! What a magnificent crane!"
This movement alarmed two people dressed as hunters on the other side of the mountain.
One of the younger ones was a little excited and wanted to grab the longbow on his back.
Although he was dressed plainly, like an ordinary hunter, but the longbow on his back was brilliant and dark, like cast iron, with a fierce look, which was extraordinary.
Not only that, this boy looks like he is not yet an adult, and there is still fluff around his mouth, but the muscles on his body are strong and strong, like a little leopard.
"Cheng'er, don't be impulsive!"
At this time, the middle-aged man next to the boy spoke.
His hands and feet were thick, and his face was full of the color of wind and frost. It was the trace of years of hard work, and there was always a hint of bitterness. He looked a little poor at first glance, but he was no different from ordinary hunters.
"That's the fairy seed that Yuqing Daomai has raised for many years. If you shoot it, wouldn't you offend the world's Xianzong? What's more...cough cough..."
The middle-aged man seemed to be in poor health. After saying a few words, he coughed violently.
But in his words, he seemed to have a lot of trust in this nephew, thinking that as long as the other party made a move, he would definitely be able to kill the crane.
"Yes! Uncle!"
The young man put away his bow and arrows obediently, but said: "There is a saying in the art of war. As a general, he should be unbearable. I understand this truth... Our goal this time is to take the blood of that dragon and serve as a gift for my uncle." Your cure, as well as dragon scales and horns, can be used to perfect my family's ancestral artifact—the dragon scale gun... "
"The dragon is a fetish, this time your uncle brought you here, it's just luck..."
But the middle-aged man waved his hand: "What I really value are these two counties! My military family is not a Taoist physicist who looks after the soldiers. I don't know how to count, but I can know the autumn by a leaf. Look at the two counties of Nanfeng, Chufeng, and the harvest. , and there is no catastrophe, but the price of food has increased by 10% this year, the same is true for iron and medicinal materials, there must be military affairs! This is the opportunity for our children to become officials!"
