Chapter two hundred and forty sixth ecstasy
After being polite, Fang Ming asked again with confusion, "Since the Grand Governor invited the Taoist sect to do it, how could he miss out on so many lonely ghosts? This is not..."
Fang Ming did not say the following words, as if he was a taboo.
"Oh! Who said it was not?" Although Fang Ming didn't say anything, the old man said hatefully as if he had seen a soulmate, "That Taoist priest named Jiugui Zhenren is quite grand. He also asked every village to offer a pair of plowing ox and three black dogs, saying it was necessary for a ritual... I'm sorry, black dogs are good, plowing ox is the lifeblood of our village..."
He spitted on the ground in discomfort: "What's even more life-threatening is that this man received the tribute. Although he suppressed Jiangling's resentment, he released many evil ghosts and harmed the elders of all villages!"
It seems that he has no good feelings for that Jiugui Real Person.
"So that's it!" A hint of interest appeared in Fang Ming's eyes.
After saying goodbye to the old man, Fang Ming set out on the journey to Jiangling again.
"Well, the resentment on the surface of the earth has disappeared, and there is no sign of yin energy condensation in the earth's veins. It seems that the Nine Ghosts Real Person has done a practical thing..."
On the official road, Fang Ming rode a donkey, his eyes opened with his supernatural power of looking at the air, and commented lightly.
Recently, he has read more Taoist sects and is more in line with the Tao. The Taoist scriptures of the Qingmu Sect and other schools are mostly written by real people, exquisite and profound. With Mu Qing's memory in previous lives, Fang Ming's knowledge on Taoism at this time is almost half a real person, so naturally the layout of the Nine Ghosts Real Person can be seen.
"This is the Jiuyou Soul Descending Array, which is good at suppressing evil spirits and relieving evil spirits. However, the inherited Jiuyoumen has long been cut off from the Taoist throne, and I don't expect that the Jiuyouren Real People also understand it. It seems that the Dongxuan Sect in Jingzhou has gained a lot of benefits in the Jiuyoumen's classics..."
Fang Ming looked towards Jiangling. He saw a faint green color rising, suppressing the resentment of the evil spirits inside Jiangling City, and even interrupting the condensation of the yin energy of the earth's veins, so that Jiangling would not turn into a ghost realm.
"But, since you can suppress the evil spirits, why can you let the scattered evil spirits escape... This is unreasonable..."
Fang Mingsi said that based on the Taoist name of the Nine Ghosts and the foundation of the Nine Ghosts Soul Array, we can see that the Nine Ghosts Real Estate must have attained the level of the True Ghosts, and their cultivation and Taoist practice are even above the Qingxu. How could there be a few evil ghosts missing?
Unless it is done on purpose!
"Interesting! Interesting! It seems that we have to meet this Jiugui Zhenren!" Fang Ming smiled, his body still, but the donkey under his seat was screaming and ran faster.
Jiangling Prefecture City was originally the central government of Jiangling Prefecture, with the most prosperous population. Unfortunately, after the massacre of chaos, Fang Ming got closer to Jiangling. What he saw was a more desolate scene.
After the war, the people here were either massacred or moved early. Although Zhou Yu immediately issued a notice to relieve the people, restrain the soldiers, appoint officials, and appease the people, unfortunately this was not a matter of one day or one night. Especially for the people who have seen war, unless they are really hard to leave their hometown, most of them are going to join their relatives in other places.
Among the people, there are also well-informed people who know that Jiangling's location is too important. Although he fell into the hands of the Grand Commander this time, the Stone King in the west and the Duke of Wu in the east were all eyeing Jingzhou, and there were a few major wars, and Jiangling City would definitely not be spared!
I escaped for life last time, which was a blessing for heaven. How dare I try again now?
This has led to Jiangling's population not being very dense after several months of the war, which is far from the ordinary city and is almost the same as several nearby counties.
"Arrival, is this Jiangling City?"
As we approached, a dark shadow appeared in the sky. As we approached, the shadow gradually grew larger. At the end, it formed a wide city wall that stretched into the distance. The sun shone on it, showing a simple and historical heaviness.
However, there were still large concave marks on the city wall at this time, and even dark and bloody refugees, with some pale and thin skin, used tools to repair them.
There were a large number of people around the city gate, with water and land parallel, and many merchant ships rowed by, and freight transport was prosperous.
Passers-by were walking in a hurry, mostly dressed up in soldiers, wearing armor and holding swords, with sharp eyes.
The entire Jiangling looked like it had completely turned into a militarized fortress!
"This Jiangling City is still a little popular, but unfortunately there are too many soldiers and merchants. As expected, the best money for war is to be made!"
Jiangling is an important town in Jingzhou. Zhou Yu also had to guard against Song Yu and Shi Longjie. He used almost all means to strengthen his defensive power. Not only did he draw heavy troops here, but he also recruited victims and trained strong men to form soldiers, and the rest were used to repair the city walls.
This post-war reconstruction, coupled with the massacre of the city overnight, the family was confiscated and the family was destroyed, and a lot of gold, silver and antiques were all needed to take action.
It is understandable that business opportunities are endless, and merchants gather here.
"But those who dare to come to eat meat at this time are at least the caravans of the clans or several county guards join forces, otherwise they will not even be able to enter the Grand Governor's Office..."
Fang Ming thought to himself and went forward to line up and entered the city.
"What are you doing? Where is the document?"
The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to be arrogant when they saw Fang Mingqingshan, but their tone was not very respectful.
Just a month ago, many of the aristocratic families in Jiangling City died at the hands of soldiers. It was said that there were a few soldiers defending the city, so it would be strange if they could be in awe!
If Zhou Yu had not issued a strict order later and sent a military and legal team to inspect, Fang Ming would have been treated as a fat sheep and exploited him wantonly.
"I am from Changsha, and I come here to visit friends. This is my document!"
Fang Ming said, taking out a piece of white paper from his arms, swaying in front of the soldiers, and inadvertently, a few strange waves flashed by.
"Yeah! Please!" The soldiers were dizzy and saluted respectfully, leaving the road, and the soldiers around them were the same.
Although what Fang Ming took out was white paper, the soldiers guarding the city were respectful, as if they could see something extraordinary.
Fang Ming used magic to make the guards in the city gate think that he was from a family in Changsha. Changsha was the place where the great governor Zhou Yulong became prosperous. There were many marriages between the aristocratic families, and the relationship was mixed. It was impossible to say that the person in front of him could have anything to do with the great governor!
Even the soldiers were mostly from Changsha Prefecture, how dare they offend the local snake in their hometown?
"Thank you!" Fang Ming nodded and rewarded the soldiers with a few more coins before Shi Shiran rode the donkey away.
"Huh?" A big-headed soldier around seemed to come back to his senses: "Boss, why did you just knock a few coins and let the scholar go? I see his clothes and looks very valuable..."
"Bad!" The soldiers who interrogated Fang Ming seemed to have some identity, but might still be the first-class soldiers: "I am just a poor scholar, and I don't have much money. It's good to have these. You can also invite brothers to drink!"
It seemed that he had completely forgotten Fang Ming's identity just now. After thinking about it carefully, even Fang Ming's appearance was a little blurred.
"Haha! What the elder brother said is that after the guards change shifts, I will go to drink together..."
"When it comes to wine, the rice wine at Lao Zhang’s store on the east end of the street is good. How about we go?"
"What's so good about drinking just? If you want to go, go to Qingyiyuan, call a few fans and accompany your brothers to have fun..."
The guards around were laughing and chatting, leaving the people waiting to pass the pass aside.
The people around were secretly angry, but they did not dare to distinguish, and they lowered their heads and thoughts to be like the people.
They actually ignored the strange things just now.
The man who didn't know whether it was the sergeant or the fire chief was even more proud of this scene. He had a wink. These people were ragged and were not a big man of origin. They had nothing to be neglected. Instead, they had to be careful. Even if they offended several small families, there was nothing they had. They were all under Zhou Yu's command, and they didn't take it seriously. They had power and knife in troubled times, and they were really happy!
"This method is indeed very effective!"
Fang Ming walked on the streets of Jingzhou, looking around with his eyes, as if he was looking at the scenery on both sides, but in secret, he was recalling the magic he had just used.
This method is not a magical technique, but a result of Fang Ming from Taoist scriptures.
Although the Taoist sect's magic is to use its own magic power to exert it, Fang Ming's knowledge of superman and has the power of creation such as blue divine power. It is even easier to simulate the Taoist sect's magic power.
As soon as he suddenly used it, even the guards at the gate with blood and military qi protecting their bodies, as well as the surrounding people, were confused.
What's even better is that after Fang Ming left, others would only remember a poor scholar, and the other person's origin and appearance would gradually become blurred, but they would not think it was strange.
"The Taoist magic is exhausted and exquisite!"
Fang Ming saw the characteristics of Taoist magic from it. It is not easy for Taoist people in this world to practice. Every bit of magic power must be used on the edge of the knife. He is very careful in his daily life, so he even brings such traces in the magic. The secrets of magic are subtle, so he must use the minimum power to obtain the maximum effect.
As for the Shinto magic, because of its vast believers, numerous incense and infinite divine power, it opens and closes, brilliant, calm and grand, but not exquisite but somewhat lacks.
These two paths can only be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they are different on the road.
However, it can also be learned from it.
"The improved magic of my deity can not only confuse people and use them at will, but even those who are watching around will be attracted by magic and then into my jar, unable to extricate themselves, the power will be increased and the range will be larger..."
Fang Ming pondered the magic he had just used with a clever inspiration.
This can not only deepen the research on Taoism, but also enhance one's own accumulation foundation, and is of great use for later understanding the laws of the Great Dao and then breaking through bottlenecks!
After Fang Mingsi finished paying, he looked up and saw that the sun was westward and it was approaching evening.
The afterglow of the sunset shines on the ground, rippling orange-red ripples. The ancient sunset road is covered with few pedestrians, and donkeys step on their hooves, which makes them look even more desolate.
"That's how the wanderer is alone in a foreign land!" Fang Ming sighed, then he kept walking and came to a building.
"Customer or stay in a hotel?"
The clever waiter quickly came out to attract business. It turned out that this place was an inn. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
