Pei Ziyun reached out and shook open an oil paper bag in the car, unfolding it contained soy sauce beef and a bottle of wine. He smiled and said to Ji Dan: "You have prepared well in the car."
As he said that, he leaned firmly on the cushion and looked out of the car with a bit of melancholy in his eyes. He raised the bottle of wine and took a silent sip, tasting the aroma of the wine: "The wine is really good. You usually enjoy it a lot - you should feel strange." Right? Why did I find you and discover you? "
"It's true that you have exactly one thing on your body that I want to take. Without it, I can't fight, so I came to look for you as soon as I arrived."
Pei Ziyun looked at the wine pot with a bit of sadness: "I found you directly, but I am very cautious, so I observed you and found out that you and King Lu's people cooperated to catch me and even set up a trap. , so I couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.”
Ji Dan was silent for a long time before saying, "Are you not going to let me go?"
"Yes, I just confirmed that what you are carrying is indeed valuable to me, so you can die. After killing so many people, you must find someone to talk to. Otherwise, I will really become a vicious person. ." Pei Ziyun said with a smile: "By the way, I heard that there is a habit in official circles to be especially kind to people who are about to die, of course to people with some status."
"Do you think I look like a cat?"
"Don't think that you can do things by relying on some magic. The law does not add noble people. As long as people outside find something wrong, you will be finished." After hearing this, Ji Dan finally couldn't hold on anymore and slumped in the car, looking at Pei Ziyun. speak loudly.
"Haha, you are just a catcher. According to the rules, you are not even an official. Your subordinates call you "sir" and you are overstepping the bounds. How can you be regarded as a noble person?"
"I might have to think about it if you bring the edict with you, but you want to be a bait and give the edict to the people accompanying you for safekeeping. What can you do against me?" Pei Ziyun smiled.
"You can't kill me." Ji Dan suddenly raised his hand, and as soon as his sleeve moved, the weapon was about to shoot out. Pei Ziyun was holding a dagger instead of a sword this time. With a "pop", it went through his throat. Ji Dan held his hand and held it. His throat made a rattling sound, his face was ferocious and he couldn't believe it.
As soon as Pei Ziyun pulled it out, blood spurted out for a foot, but when it was facing Pei Ziyun, it seemed to have hit a barrier and fell down in mid-air.
The head catcher didn't die for a while, watching Pei Ziyun struggle: "You... fell into the trap, the country will die, and the traitors will be killed."
After mumbling this sentence, he breathed his last.
Pei Ziyun snorted and cursed: "Damn it, this residence has been granted an official position, at least the ninth rank, maybe even higher. It's kept secret, it's a trap."
Blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth for a moment. If he had been prepared, it would not have happened like this, but who would have thought
Pei Ziyun's face turned pale and red. After resting for a while, he took out a handkerchief and wiped it. This was a backlash, staining the handkerchief red.
"We can't stay here for long." Pei Ziyun thought to himself, and hurriedly stepped forward and touched Ji Dandan's body, looking for the thing. Suddenly he felt something in his hand, and he quickly took it out. It was a jade pendant.
Pei Ziyun ducked out of the way.
The driver driving the bullock cart felt that there seemed to be some change, but he didn't feel it. He turned to look at the cart, touched his head, and continued to move forward.
Ji Dan's body was lying in the car, blood dripping down and flowing all the way.
The tolerance always felt something was wrong. It seemed to have a fishy smell, but he couldn't tell where it came from. There was an inn in front of him. As he drove the car, the tolerance said to Mr. Ji in the carriage: "Sir, I feel something is wrong. Where do you think it comes from?" The smell of blood, is it so strong?”
After the official finished speaking, the bullock cart stopped at the door of the inn, but the carriage was quiet, as if there was no one inside. The official approached the carriage and softly shouted to the inside: "Master, master."
The bullock cart stopped at the door, and there was a ticking sound. The official thought something was wrong, so he opened the curtain and saw that Ji Shan had his head tilted, his hands covering his neck, and he had already made no sound.
A fishy smell hit the nose, and the car was full of blood, which made people feel sick. When the official saw the scene, he was frightened and couldn't believe it. His legs and feet were shaking. It took him a while to react, and he shouted: "No." Okay, no, Ji Captou has been killed, Ji Captou has been killed."
Following this shout, a dozen people poured out of the inn, all of them soldiers, with a eunuch and a Taoist among them.
This Taoist is obviously a Taoist official from the County Dao Zhengsi, affiliated with Daolu Division and Honglu Temple. This Taoist uniform is different from other ordinary Taoist priests.
"Look!" the eunuch said without being surprised.
The Taoist opened the curtain to investigate. After a long time, he came out and took out some blood. He whispered a few times to the eunuch. The eunuch suddenly laughed: "Pei Ziyun, I thought you were so talented. If I couldn't kill you before, now you kill the official." After being hit by a backlash, how much of your Tao skills are left?"
"It's not in vain that I used the prince's blank certificate to give this damn ghost a genuine eighth grade."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but open their mouths in shock, and then heard the eunuch say again: "Captain Hong, please give me the order to go down. Mr. Ji Shanji has been assassinated by a thief. Please enforce martial law and arrest the whole city."
"Yes, Eunuch Ding!" Lieutenant Lu Wang, who was following on one side, responded loudly and led the armored soldiers to swarm out.
The official stood in front of the bullock cart and was stunned for a moment. He sat down on the ground and murmured: "What on earth is going on?"
Pei Ziyun ran all the way, feeling a burning sensation in his chest, and quickly turned to a nearby alley. A fishy smell filled his throat, and he vomited out a mouthful of blood.
Pei Ziyun gasped for air, only to feel that the backlash was getting more and more serious. With such backlash, it is no wonder that Taoists do not enter officialdom and cannot even directly confront the political power.
It was early in the morning, and although there were not many people, there were already people on the side of the road with snack baskets, selling wontons, dumplings, and fried cakes. The white mist of oil smoke was lingering, exuding an alluring aroma.
"You must find a safe place and find a way to absorb the sustenance of your magical power against dragon energy. Otherwise, you will be weak for several days just from the backlash of dragon energy."
"I'm afraid these people have planned this for a long time. They just waited for themselves to be injured by the dragon energy and unable to exert their strength before they pounced on them!" Pei Ziyun murmured to himself and struggled forward. When he saw a yard, he leaned against the side of the yard and leaned forward. He closed his ears and leaned against the wall to listen.
There was no sound inside, so my face relaxed a little, and as soon as I jumped up, the fishy smell came to my throat again, and my throat was burning, as if I wanted to spit it out.
He quickly covered his mouth to prevent a mouthful of blood from spurting out and turned into the yard.
The yard was very big, but there were not many people at this time. They walked gently towards the small building in front. When they arrived at the small building, it was quiet, so they jumped up, climbed to the third floor and entered the room.
There is also a small attic on the top of the building, which requires stairs to go up. Pei Ziyun jumped up, hung his hands under the attic, and climbed up. The attic was empty and very dark.
Pei Ziyun went to the attic, lay down, and relaxed. He felt tired all over, and couldn't seem to open his eyes. His chest and head hurt, and there seemed to be a black energy in his body that wanted to corrode him.
He took off his coat and put it on the jade pendant, then lay on the clothes, squinted his eyes slightly, and fell asleep immediately.
The sky was overcast, with scattered snowflakes falling, and a voice came from a Taoist temple.
"Master, there is no Taoism in the wealthy government. In the land of officials and fish and meat, we Taoists have mastered martial arts and Taoism. Why can't we resist? We can't even kill a mere ninth-grade official. We can only watch helplessly?"
"All my relatives have been killed. I can't even take revenge. I still ask Master to teach me. I still ask Master to teach me." A Taoist, who looked only thirty years old, but his temples were already slightly white, knelt in front of the old Taoist and shouted. .
"It's time and destiny. Although my Taoist has magical powers, he can't interfere with the present world, let alone fight against dragon energy. I can't teach you. It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't." The old Taoist looked up to the sky and sighed, with tears in his eyes.
"Brother, senior brother, senior brother, you want to inherit the position of the leader. You can't go down the mountain. If you go down the mountain, who will succeed the leader." Several disciples hugged the young man and shouted to dissuade him.
"My parents and family are gone. I can't even take revenge. How can I have the dignity to be a senior brother? How can I have the dignity to stay on the mountain." The senior brother looked at the senior brothers who were blocking him, tears falling from the corners of his eyes.
"Let him go, Senior Brother, the cause and effect has not yet been fulfilled, let him go." The leader said, as if he had exhausted all his strength.
"Master, my disciple is unfilial, so I will have to honor you in the next life." The Taoist knelt on the ground, crying loudly, kowtowing repeatedly, and his forehead was covered with blood: "You can send me out!"
The scene changed, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the rain fell on his face. The Taoist turned pale and struggled to fight out. A group of government officials behind him shouted and came to fight!
"Backlash, backlash, God, I don't accept it, I don't accept it!" The Taoist took one look at the pursuit behind him, and then killed him unwillingly. He fought hard with wounds, killing batch after batch, his eyes and body were red from the killing, and more and more. After killing a clearing, he finally gave up and fell off the cliff.
After another turn, the Taoist came out of the cave, his temples completely white: "I'm done, I'm finally done, haha, I searched a lot before I found the fragment, I finally repaired it, and the dragon's energy damage can be weakened, You, the ninth grade county captain, I will come to kill you today, you are the corrupt and tyrannical official of the wealthy dynasty, you are all waiting for me!"
The night was dark and the wind was high, and the Taoist stepped forward with a chilling feeling. When a vicious dog heard the sound, it started to growl. The Taoist stretched out his hand, and the vicious dog became silent.
The Taoist stepped forward and killed the evil dog with a sword. The evil dog was not dead for a while and whined.
The Taoist rushed in. When one of them saw that the situation was not good, he screamed. The Taoist swung his sword and immediately rushed upstairs. He saw an official sitting in the main seat and several people sitting in the guest seats, listening to the play. At this time, Jumping in, the official pointed: "Where did you come from, a Taoist thief? How dare you?"
The Taoist couldn't help but kill them one by one with his sword. When he saw the corpses on the ground, he suddenly vomited blood and laughed: "I just spit out this breath today."
Turning around again, the Taoist was already under an eaves and jumped down. With a flash of sword light, a head fell down. People around him shouted: "Master Li is dead, Master Li is dead."
Another change occurred, and the Taoist was lying on the straw mat, covered in blood and stains. He looked like he was only in his thirties. He smiled at a young man and said, "You are such a kind young man, and you want to die for me. Take this jade pendant, it can calm you down." The evil spirit will protect you as a public servant, but you cannot be an official, otherwise you will die violently."
As he spoke, he laughed, turned around suddenly, and showed a weird smile: "Do you think so?"
