Chapter 43: Night visit to Zhao's mansion

The Taiqing Liangyi Spirit Locking Array is the mountain guarding formation of the Jindan Sect of the Quanzhen Southern Sect of Emei. It is said that it can disturb people's mind and spirit consciousness, making people unable to activate their true essence and perform Taoism. Xu Changqing only saw this formation from classics, but he had never seen it with his own eyes. The main reason why he judged that the formation arranged in Changhe Country was the Taiqing Liangyi Spirit Locking Array was that his mind and spirit consciousness lost contact after entering the Tucheng of Changhe Township, as if he had already left his body. At the same time, the Huang brother and sister also felt something was wrong and looked at Xu Changqing one after another. Huang Shan wanted to ask the reason, but his clever sister Huang Juan immediately blocked his mouth because she noticed that someone was spying on her.

After the group walked into the village, the three of them and the servants of the Tang family were arranged to rest in the Zhao family's yard. Tang Wei and his relatives and friends needed to go to the main courtyard to meet the relatives and friends of the Zhao family. Next, according to local customs, a three-day banquet will be held in Changhe Township. Xu Changqing and others and the servants will only allow them to go to the main courtyard to have a wedding banquet on the third day. In order to take care of Xu Changqing and the other two, the Zhao family specially arranged them in a separate room in the yard to separate them from the Tang family's servants.

When Xu Changqing entered the house, he noticed something was wrong. When the servants of the Zhao family left, he signaled the Huang brothers and sisters not to speak. Then he searched the house and found that a copper pipe was connected in the inconspicuous place in the eight corners of the house. It can be imagined that there must be someone watching the pipe opposite the pipe at this moment.

Xu Changqing smiled coldly and told the brother and sister to find water to wash themselves, change into new clothes in the bag, and then he said he would go out to find if there was any food, and walked out of the room alone. Sure enough, when he was about to walk out of the yard, he was stopped by the servants of the Zhao family at the door, walked over from the side room, pretended to ask a few questions, and asked the servants to find some wine and food, and warned him not to walk around. Xu Changqing, who returned to the yard, was soon surrounded by servants of the Tang family, who were also under house arrest. The servants who were deeply bored pulled him to tell fortunes one after another.

Although Xu Changqing could not use the Taoist method to predict fortune, he had a deep foundation in fortune-telling. The method of face-to-face by the sorcerers in the martial arts world, plus the Daliu Ren divine class, one of the three ways to promote fate, was enough to scare these Shanxi men and call him alive gods, and even the servants of the Zhao family outside the house couldn't help but come over to ask him to count his life.

When Xu Changqing told these people fortunes, he asked a lot of things indirectly and got an understanding of the Zhao family here, especially why the Zhao family targeted the martial arts warlocks so much this time, and found the reason. It turned out that the Zhao family's family origins in the local area were more distant than those in the Tang family. The first generation of Zhao family living here was in the early Ming Dynasty. Judging from the genealogy handed down by ancestors, it had been nearly forty generations. Before the Qing soldiers entered the pass, they were called Zhaojiatun. Later, after the Zhang Xianzhong massacre, the Zhao family's direct branches were killed and injured. In addition, the policies adopted by the Qing soldiers to move to local clans to prevent them from causing chaos, the Zhao family gradually declined and was replaced by the later Tang family. The original Zhaojiatun was also divided into more than a dozen pieces.

Although the Zhao family has declined, there is always a little bit of foundation. The reason why they marry the Tang family this time is mainly because they see the troubled times come. The head of the Zhao family wants to find a support for the Zhao family to avoid turning into fish that is being verified by the people.

The marriage between the Zhao family and the Tang family can be considered a huge thing in the local area. Everyone in the surrounding towns came to congratulate him, and some of the sorcerers who heard the news also came to say some auspicious words and asked for rewards. At the beginning, the Zhao family also followed local customs and refused to refuse to accept the people, so they were happy. However, two days ago, a thief appeared among the sorcerers who came to ask for rewards. At night, he entered the Zhao family's house to steal the heirloom treasure of the Zhao family. Fortunately, the ancestors of the Zhao family showed up to report their dreams to the head of the Zhao family and cast spells to make the thief fall to the ground, which eventually made him missed. However, the treasure he stole was missing. Now the sorcerers are being held in the Zhao family dungeon, and after the wedding banquet is held, they will decide what to deal with him. After this incident, the Zhao family also began to expel the sorcerers to avoid any accidents at the wedding banquet.

Xu Changqing sorted out the information he heard well, and after careful analysis, he felt that the Taiqing Liangyi Spirit Locking Array was very likely related to what the thief stole. From the people of the Zhao family, he learned that when the thief was caught, some martyrs in the martial arts world said they were unwell and left Changhe Township on their own initiative. It can be seen that the thief must have triggered the Taiqing Liangyi Spirit Locking Array when he stole things, which made the few practitioners in the martial arts world feel something was wrong.

In addition, he also understood why there was a large formation like the Taiqing Liangyi Spirit Locking Array here. The Zhao family was simply the spiritual guarding family arranged by Zhu Di here. However, because they had long forgotten their responsibilities because of the age of time, the village in Changhe Township must be one of the three soul-suppressing towers. The so-called heirloom treasure stolen by the thief might be the weapon of the soul-suppressing tower. Otherwise, after stealing the Zhao family heirloom treasure, the Taiqing Liangyi Spirit Locking Array buried underground with the soul-suppressing tower would automatically operate, suppressing the soul-suppressing tower and preventing it from rushing out of the ground.

Xu Changqing didn't expect that as soon as he came here, he found a Soul-Suppressing Tower. In addition to lamenting his good luck, he was also very satisfied with Huang Juan's fate. It was really rare to achieve such results in just over a month. He was not very worried about his current situation. Although he could not use the Tao, he found that some of his abilities in the Nine-River Avenue were not limited, such as being able to absorb the power of wishes and the five elements of spiritual energy to refine himself,

He can use his divine eyes, and the main thing is that his Five Elements Taoism can still be used. Even if all of these are imprisoned by the Taiqing Liangyi Spirit Locking Array, with his current strength, he can open mountains and be inferior to swords and guns, and even Western firearms cannot hurt his Hunyuan Golden Body. There will be no trouble to deal with ordinary people here. Therefore, he is very skilled and brave, and plans to go to the Chen family dungeon in the late night, meet the thief, and ask what kind of treasure he stole.

After entering late at night, most of the people who were monitoring Xu Changqing had no discoveries, and only a few were left in the room in the yard, just in case. After Xu Changqing let the Huang brothers and sisters go to bed, he took out a night clothes from the universe in his sleeve, then walked to the back wall of the room, used the earth spirit method in the Five Elements Taoism, and walked forward slowly. When his body approached the earth wall, the earth wall immediately became as soft as water and let Xu Changqing pass through it, and there was no trace of soil on his body. After he passed, the earth wall returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened just now.

This is the magic of Xu Changqing's Five Elements Taoism. Although its power cannot be compared with those of the upright Taoism, it can do things that cannot be done by many authentic Taoisms. For example, the wall-through technique just now cannot be done by Laoshan's authentic wall-through technique.

Although the Zhao family's house is complex in structure, it is still constructed according to the Northern School's geomantic method. Xu Changqing has long understood the specific location of the dungeon and used the method of passing through the wall to go directly to the evil position of the Zhao family's house. After passing through the horse shed in the backyard of the Zhao family, he came to a relatively tightly guarded earthen house. There are many Zhao family members around the house. Judging from the way several middle-aged people walk, they should be foreign experts who have practiced leg skills.

Although Xu Changqing's Five Elements Taoist Technique can pass through the earth wall, it can only be the authentic Taoist earth escape technique. If he buried himself without Taoism, he would not be able to escape the word "death". Unless his cultivation reaches the innate fetal breathing, he will be fine. Judging from the position of the guards around him, it is impossible to give Xu Changqing an opportunity, especially the masters at the entrance of the dungeon are very strict in guarding. If he breaks through, the alarm bell will sound immediately.

At this time, a servant who was sending midnight snacks to Zhao's house walked over the path ahead of Xu Changqing, and Xu Changqing immediately thought about it. When he passed by himself, he immediately took action, grabbed the food basket with one hand, pinched the servant's throat with the other hand, and crushed his throat with a slight force, holding his breath and died. If it were Xu Changqing, he would not have taken human life at will, but since he closed the mountain to understand the Nine-River Dao, his mental cultivation has been improved to the top of refining Qi and turning into gods, and he acted casually. The idea of ​​the great way of ant lives is subtly affecting him, giving him a strange idea that except for the people he cared about, the rest of the people were all ants. Although in normal times, he would deliberately suppress such thoughts that made him feel uncomfortable, when he had to make a decision, he would follow this idea without hesitation to deal with things, just like what he did now.

Xu Changqing changed into a dress of a servant, deliberately lowered the felt hat on his head, and walked towards the dungeon with a basket.

"Why is it so late today? My stomach is almost pressed to my back. I will carefully care about your flesh next time!" A guard of the Zhao family guard guarding the main entrance greeted him with great dissatisfaction. He didn't look at people. He grabbed the food basket and turned around and walked into the yard. He placed the top-top delicious food and wine on the table of the three people at the entrance of the dungeon. He said a few words as if he was pleased, and then brought the remaining food to greet the people around him.

At this time, the guard who was responsible for ringing the alarm bell walked past Xu Changqing, suddenly stopped, turned to look at Xu Changqing, and asked in confusion: "Who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"

When he asked this question that should not be asked, Xu Changqing answered him with a fist. Since he suffered the loss of the big inner master in the Feishishan crypt, Xu Changqing no longer underestimated those fist skills. In the first half of the year after closing the mountain, he spent part of his time practicing fist and foot almost every day. With his current fist and foot skills and physical strength, he was confident that even if he met such a big inner master, he could still take his life within ten moves.

Xu Changqing's physical strength, which is comparable to the second-grade God's Struggle, is really useless to deal with an ordinary guard. When his fist just touched the man's head, his head silently burst like a watermelon, making Xu Changqing feel inexplicably disgusted. But the disgusting feeling did not have time to rush up to his head. He pulled out the waist knife from the guard's waist and rushed into the ordinary guard who had not had time to react. He raised his sword and fell without hesitation. Under his powerful force, the human body turned into tofu, and was easily cut into several pieces. He didn't even have time to scream and returned to the underworld.

When Xu Changqing massacred the guards, the masters immediately reacted. One rushed towards the alarm bell, and the other two rushed towards Xu Changqing. The master in front of him was about to rush to the alarm bell and ring it. Xu Changqing ignored it completely. The other two masters kicked at his heavy legs, grabbed the tabletop of the stone table in front of him with one hand, picked it up effortlessly, and threw it out at the master who was ringing the alarm bell.

"Be careful!" Although someone reminded, the speed of the flying stone desktop was too fast. Before the master could react, he was hit by the edge of the table and hit the earthen wall next to him. The whole person flew out with the table and hit the earthen wall next to him. The stone desktop was smashed into two pieces by the stone desktop. One was held in mid-air by the earthen wall, and the other fell softly to the ground.

Seeing his companion die so tragically and Xu Changqing's physical strength, the two masters were all stunned. However, how could the masters showdown give you time to be stunned? Xu Changqing took a step forward, hurriedly pulled his hands and grabbed the two of them at the same time. He pinched them hard, and then he heard two clicks. The two of them lost their breath and their bodies were soft and they were held in his hand.

"No, don't kill me! I can't say anything!" The guard who snatched the food basket from Xu Changqing saw his companions and the master who was usually like a god, died tragically in the blink of an eye. He was so scared that he urinated. A sense of slutiness came out of his crotch. He sat limply on the ground, crying and begging for mercy.

Xu Changqing looked at him coldly, turned around and walked towards the dungeon door, as if he was about to let him go, the man breathed a sigh of relief, and a joy of surviving the disaster appeared on his face. However, Xu Changqing did not turn his head at this time, and with his kick to the sword falling from the ground, a cold light flashed, and the sword was inserted into the wall, buzzing, and a trace of blood gathered together and fell to the ground. At the same time, the man's head fell from his neck, and the face still maintained a joyful expression.

"Snooze! Exhale!" Xu Changqing took a deep breath, calmed down the distracting thoughts caused by the killing just now, pushed open the door of the house, and lowered the wooden ladder next to it into the dungeon.
