Chapter 499
Liu Youcai was just an ordinary martial artist in the world. He had never seen such a scene. Seeing Wang Zizai's appearance after mutating, he was so scared that his face was as white as paper, his knees softened, and he fluttered on the ground. Xiao Jinyan had been accustomed to it, and without thinking, he punched Wang Zizai out and knocked him away three or four feet away.
The incident last night was too strange. Xiao Jinyan wanted to take advantage of the mechanism to subdue Wang Zizai and ask some secrets of the Pure Land Sect, so he deliberately kept a sense of responsibility and did not kill him.
Wang Zizai failed to hit a blow, and did not dare to show weakness. He whined from his mouth, climbed up, and bit Xiao Jinyan again. Xiao Jinyan took Wuwang step and came to his head, punched Wang Zizai from top to bottom, and knocked Wang Zizai to the ground. Before he could get up, his fist fell on him like a storm, smashing Wang Zizai half of his body into the soil.
After about half an hour, the effect of the medicine dissipated, and Wang Zizai recovered his consciousness and changed back to his original appearance.
Although his skin was thick after the mutation, Wang Zizai was beaten unnaturally, with blood all over his body and bruises. If his legs were not buried in the ground, he would have been a problem even standing.
Only then did Liu Youcai recover from his fear. When he remembered the scene just now, he couldn't help feeling ashamed and respected Xiao Jinyan a little more.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for helping him."
Unconsciously, the name Xiao Jinyan also became Xiao Daxia.
Xiao Jinyan waved his hand and said, "Brother Liu, you have to be polite. Before you take him back, I want to ask him a few questions first."
Wang Zizai's eyes were full of hatred, and he said with hatred: "If you dare to kill me, our Pure Land Buddhism will avenge me."
Xiao Jinyan smiled and said, "Don't say such ruthless words to me. If I kill you, who will know?" After that, he put his fist in front of Wang Zizai and shook it, "Xiao has killed more than two thousand monsters like you, so he doesn't care about killing you one more."
This is not a false statement. In the soul-suming banner, the three of them killed such "evil ghosts", and there were seven or eight thousand people.
Wang Zizai remembered what happened just now, for fear that Xiao Jinyan would take ruthlessness, so he changed his tone, "What do you want to ask?"
"Who is your leader of the Jilei Sect? What is the purpose of coming to Xiangyang City? How many people are there now? Why do you want to kill Liu Yuanwai's family? What is the use of being worried about ghosts? And who gave you the pill you just swallowed?" He asked more than ten questions in one breath.
Wang Zizai said: "You have so many questions. Can you ask again? I feel a little dizzy and can't remember it."
Xiao Jinyan then threw the questions to Wang Zizai one by one.
As Xiao Jinyan speculated, the Pure Land Buddhism was only recently launched in Xiangyang City, with its headquarters in Chengdu Prefecture. Xiangyang City is one of the branch churches. The main character is a leader, two guardians, and there are several leaders under the sect. They use the hallucination effect of Pure Land grass to make the sucked believers in a trance and obey their commands, either contribute wealth or develop the church. Young people like Wang Zizai gave them some Pure Land Buddhism and asked them to perform some violent tasks. For example, Liu Yuanwai's family was the last night when he sneaked into the mansion and killed them with extremely cruel means.
"Where did you get the Pill of Pill?"
"In addition to the leader of the Jile Church, there are also special pharmacists responsible for making Jile Pills. Every once in a while, people will be sent to deliver such Jile Pills according to the situation."
"Why do you want to kill Yuanwai Liu?"
Wang Zizai said: "The sad ghost in Liu Yuanwai's hand is an important material for making Jile Pills. Our leader looked for him many times, but he never refused to let go. So the leader ordered me to sneak into the mansion and rob, and kill these people, creating panic in the city."
Xiao Jinyan found a Jile Pill from Wang Zizai, put it between his nose and sniffed it. He felt the fragrance swelling, making him a little dizzy. Then a strong desire aroused in his heart, making people full of killing and violence, and suddenly shocked. What a powerful medicine.
"The truth has been
Dabai, the murderer also caught it." Xiao Jinyan said to Liu Youcai, "Brother Liu can take him back to the yamen to hand in the office. This Pure Land Sect is very harmful to people in the city. Now that he has a sad ghost, there must be any conspiracy. Please explain the pros and cons to the prefect, ask the government to help, and be sure to eradicate the Pure Land Sect in one fell swoop."
Liu Youcai said with concern: "The Pure Land Buddhism involves a wide range of forces in the city. I am afraid that people will speak lightly, so I cannot persuade the prefect."
"Planning is up to others, and success is up to heaven. Brother Liu will try it first." Xiao Jinyan said, "Tomorrow is the fifteenth day, and the leader of the Pure Land Buddhism will begin to explain it. I will find a way to get in and see if I can find out what the situation is."
But he made up his mind to catch a leader of the branch sect first to see if he could find out the whereabouts of Wang Banxian. This old guy disappeared since the heavenly way came and escaped, and it was not until the incident of the Pure Land Sect that a clue appeared. The plan of the Pure Land of the World is not only evil, but also crazy. Xiao Jinyan must not watch the world save the world, which they have saved, become like this kind of person who does not look like a human, or a ghost.
After Liu Youcai held Wang Zizai away, Xiao Jinyan rested in the ruined temple.
He was playing with Jile Pills in his hand.
A pill as big as a soybean can turn an ordinary person into a monster, with its strength and speed soaring by dozens of times, and even Liu Youcai from Zhixuanchu Realm is no match for him. Liu Yuanwai's mansion lost hundreds of kilograms of sad ghosts. With the Jile Grass, can't he equip an army of tens of thousands of people?
The army of evil ghosts sweeping the world!
It’s a big deal to think about it, and it’s imperative to stop the Pure Land Buddhism.
The next morning, Liu Youcai came to find Xiao Jinyan.
He kept yawning with thick bags and dark circles, obviously he didn't sleep all night last night.
"I encountered something tricky."
Xiao Jinyan asked: "What's wrong?"
"Last night, I sent Wang Zizai to the prefect's office. Speaking of Liu Yuanwai's case, the prefect Zhou Dynasty complained about the matter and was unwilling to investigate the Jile Sect. He said that the King of Shu was behind the scenes and asked me to leave this matter aside. It would be better to have less than more. As for the murder case, it would be until Wang Zizai."
Xiao Jinyan smiled bitterly, "It seems that your prefect is not very good."
Liu Youcai said helplessly, "I have done my best. Originally, my plan was to lead troops to lie on the Jile Cult tonight, and mix with Brother Xiao into the Jile Cult to the Jile Cult to eliminate the Jile Cult's forces in Xiangyang in one fell swoop. But the Lord of the Palace asked me to ignore them for the time being on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence."
After saying that, he sighed, "It's too difficult to do things in the yamen!"
Xiao Jinyan expressed his understanding, "I will go to the Jile Church to explore the way tonight, and maybe I can find useful clues."
Liu Youcai then said, "Our magistrate, I want to see you."
"See me?"
Liu Youcai said: "I told the prefect that you defeated Wang Zizai alone. He said that it is very necessary for people like Brother Xiao to make friends. We adults love talents very much. I think there is no loss when we meet, so I agree for you."
Xiao Jinyan was speechless.
Love of talent?
Despise the noble?
Meet me?
Xiao Jinyan was unwilling to deal with the people in the government. When he was in the capital, he rarely got involved in their affairs.
Liu Youcai said: "Although our prefect is not very honest, he is generally a wise official. If the brother can catch his eye, he may be able to gain a future. At that time, I, Old Liu, will also have a heart-to-heart talker in the yamen."
Xiao Jinyan was amused and crying.
However, Liu Youcai's words were full of sincerity, which made him feel warm.
Who says there is no mercy in the market?
Everyone has their own world. Even if the world is in chaos, even if Wang Banxian is making fun of it, this chivalrous spirit still penetrates into every corner of the world, from famous families to the people in the city. This is the interesting part of this world.
It is also the belief that Xiao Jinyan, Li Qingcheng and Zhao Langjiang are willing to protect them.
The world is in chaos, but the world is not in chaos.
The laws of the world are gone, but the chivalrous spirit remains.
Xiao Jinyan joked, "I have never seen such a big official before."
"I also try my best to help, and it's different whether to succeed or not."
The two walked side by side and walked towards the prefect's office. Along the way, Liu Youcai kept telling him about the preferences of the prefect and what to pay attention to, "He is a slutty person and is different from our world. If there is anything that makes the man uncomfortable, you can bear it for the time being."
Xiao Jinyan nodded to show his awareness.
When the two arrived at the prefect's office, Liu Youcai replied to the deacon, saying that the master wanted to see the hero Xiao. The deacon went back to report and came back in a moment, leading the two to the side hall. "The master is meeting guests in the main hall, please wait for a moment."
Xiao Jinyan looked at the decorations of the side rooms, including gold, silver and jewelry, as well as literary calligraphy and paintings, which seemed out of place, and it was difficult to guess the owner's personality. He saw many ornaments, which were quite Jiangnan style, and couldn't help but look forward. Liu Youcai smiled and said, "Our prefect once served as an official in Jiangnan, so he left some Jiangnan styles. Now Jiangnan is the territory of the Ning King. The emperor also said that one day, when the King of Shu unified the world, he would return to Jiangnan to be a governor and governor, and return to his hometown with glory!"
If you are rich and noble, you will not return home, like walking in a night clothes with brocade.
Now, there are chaos, and the vassal states in various places are divided, and most of the officials are officials in other places. When they are in troubled times, they stay in their ranks. Everyone hopes to follow the opponent's lord and then unify the world. It is not surprising that this prefect has this idea.
Xiao Jinyan said: "You guys are quite ambitious."
Liu Youcai said, "The King of Shu was attracted by this point and made him the prefect of Xiangyang. Brother Xiao may not know that the power in the hands of the prefect of the current prefect is not comparable to that of the past. Not only did he have military power, but he also had tax power. As long as he was consistent with the King of Shu in military terms, he could pay some taxes regularly."
Xiao Jinyan thought to himself, isn’t this somewhat similar to the city lord model of Yinyang City?
As for the chaos today, Shuzhong is far away from here, and cannot be as broad as a city like a capital. The King of Shu cannot hold the emperor's power in his hands, so he can only decentralize his power. This city-state model is an effective political model for troubled times.
On the ancient shelf, Xiao Jinyan saw a Buddha's head.
He felt a little familiar. Isn’t this one of the sixteen Buddha heads in Tianning Temple?
When he was in Suzhou, Wang Banxian asked him to go to Tianning Temple to invite the Buddha's head. He got one to celebrate the birthday of the magistrate Suzhou. How could he appear here?
Xiao Jinyan asked: "I don't know the name of the noble magistrate?"
Liu Youcai said, "Our master respects Zhou Weixiao."
Xiao Jinyan was stunned and exclaimed: "Zhou Xiao?"
Liu Youcai pulled him, "Worry, this is the prefect's office, and our master has very strict rules."
At this time, an official outside the door walked in, looking unhappy, "Who is calling my official's name?"
Liu Youcai knelt down and said, "Master, it's a villain who is not good at doing things, and it hits the master." He pulled Xiao Jinyan again, "Go to the master."
Xiao Jinyan stood there, and at this time Zhou Xiao also looked at Xiao Jinyan. He had an official look on his face, his face changed a few times, and he turned around and left, "Liu Youcai, see off the guests!"
Xiao Jinyan shouted: "Let's wait!"
Zhou Xiao stopped and turned around, "Xiao Jinyan?"
Xiao Jinyan remembered that because his mother had a birthday party, he and Zhao Langjiang and Li Qingcheng had a lot of trouble. Later, he met briefly in Jiujiang City. At that time, he had become the prefect of Jiujiang. Unexpectedly, after a few years, he came to Xiangyang City again and became the prefect of Xiangyang.
