Heaven's Formula

With a kick of his hind legs, he easily crossed the courtyard wall and landed in a house. With a wave of his claws, he dug a big hole in the roof.

"Monster!" The person hiding inside was suddenly scared out of his wits.

"There is no guard on the street, go to the west!" After Li Hou raised his head and let out a long roar, he ran towards the next house.

Whether it is running or roaring in the transformed form, the movement is many times larger than the main body. Even the residents who were not reminded by her were startled by the unusual noise, and they gathered at the gate of the courtyard and opened a door secretly. Crack, looking out at the situation at the intersection.

"My child's father, it really seems that no one is guarding outside!"

"But it's a monster! Who knows if it's a monster's trap!"

"She seemed to have mentioned Her Royal Highness just now."

"Is the west side really safe?"

Neighbors on the street were discussing in fear, but no one dared to step out of the door. There was even a scene where two families looked at each other across the street, but no one dared to go first.

"Dear neighbors, those are not demons, but spirit beasts!" Until a man ran onto the street and shouted loudly, "They were sent by Her Highness the Princess to save us, hurry up, or it will be too late!"

"Spirit beast?"

"Boy, how do you know?"

"If it was a demon, it would have gnawed off your head long ago, and what nonsense is it talking to you!" the man said bluntly, "And I saw with my own eyes that they ate up the gang of pirates with knives— ——Who is the enemy and who is the rescuer, you must distinguish clearly!"

Hearing this, everyone finally moved.

After all, they all witnessed the cruelty of the pirates.

Soon someone led the whole family out of the courtyard, and ran westward under the watchful eyes of everyone.And with the first household, there will naturally be a second household. After a while, people in the whole street noticed this change. For a while, there were many refugees in the empty street.

The man did not follow, but went to another street to repeat the same trick.

It wasn't until Beicheng District was awakened by the uproarious fleeing, and he didn't need to persuade everyone to find a time to escape, that he bowed his head deeply in the direction where the two demons were running, and then joined the crowd retreating westward among.

Chapter 153 Crisis Warning

After running around the Beicheng District and throwing off the Dongsheng Kingdom warriors who were chasing him all the way, Shan Hui finally found a chance to join Li.

"It seems...it's going well." He panted. "I thought they would stay at home because the person who informed the news was a demon. It seems that I was worrying too much."

"Indeed." Li Yi was a little surprised. She knew how much this group of people were prejudiced against demons. In the spirit of doing their best and obeying the destiny, she tried her best to tell everyone the news that the blockade was temporarily lifted. This is what she could do. do.As for how many people will follow her guidance in the end, that is beyond her concern.

But judging from the actual situation, it seems that the residents of Beicheng District only hesitated for a short time, and then began to rush westward like flowing water. Based on this estimate, most of the people can return to the princess's control before the invaders re-implement the blockade. Area.

Not only that, the two also noticed that several street intersections had been cleared before they arrived, and the enemy in charge of guarding had either disappeared or died on the side of the street, as if someone had helped them out of nowhere.

"Since the matter here is over, let's go to the east to see if Xia Fan needs other help."

Just when Li and Shanhui were about to retreat, a voice suddenly came from the alley ahead.

"You two, please stay."

The two couldn't help being startled, and immediately put on a posture to meet the enemy.

"Don't worry, I'm not your enemy."

A figure of a man holding a folding fan slowly appeared at the entrance of the alley, followed by a short little girl, "Next—"

"Fang Xiandao?" Li asked in surprise.

Fang Xiandao also showed surprise, "You know me?"

"I don't know. I just saw it from a distance in Qingshan Town." The fox shrugged.

"Qingshan Town? So that's how it was—at that time, you were secretly helping Xia Fan." Fang Xiandao was stunned, "That's why he was able to change Luo Qingqing's mind and turn an exam that was destined to eliminate most people into mediocrity." carnival."

"I do not know what you're talking about."

From the corner of Li's eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Shan Hui constantly winking at her.

He seemed to be reminding himself to look up...

The fox demon suddenly remembered that after he took off his turban, he didn't seem to put it on again.

She stretched out her hand to touch it, and sure enough, both ears were sticking out.

"Don't worry about this, I've seen your real bodies before." Fang Xiandao said indifferently, "If it was a monster that harms people, I might try to get rid of it, but you obviously don't. As a person who is good at insight Secular black and white wise men should never use their birth as a basis for judgment.”

"Thousands of knowledge, good insight!" The little girl shouted.

"Oh? I didn't expect there to be someone like you among alchemists." Li raised his eyebrows, "Then you received Xia Fan's invitation letter and came to Jinxia to help?"

"Cough, cough—what invitation letter, I didn't say I wanted to help him!" Fang Xiandao covered his face with a fan, and at the same time muttered, "Why does she even know such a trivial matter?"

The fox demon and the tengu shook their ears almost at the same time.

The only thing the two of them have in common as demons is that they both have extremely keen hearing.

"Xia Fan is now fighting against Dongsheng Kingdom, do you need me to introduce you?"

"I told you I didn't come here at his invitation!" Fang Xiandao emphasized, "All of this is the guidance of the hexagrams—and I'm just a bystander."

"I understand. Fortunetellers should not enter the hexagrams personally, otherwise they will be easily punished by heaven." Li said lightly.

"So you also know the art of divination and calculation?"

"Master taught me a thing or two."

"Teach the alchemy to the demon... probably some Sanmen monk." Fang Xiandao said with a little regret, "Unfortunately, there are very few people who are proficient in this art. If you come from a famous family, maybe we can have a good discussion. One time. For example, my master, although he does not serve in the Privy Council, has a level not inferior to that of guards..."

"Oh, my master, it is equivalent to the green sword."

"What—" Fang Xiandao almost choked, "Qing, Qingjian?"

"But I didn't delve into this alchemy. Because the master said that it is an extravagant hope to find the only direction of fate among infinite possibilities. Unless the fortune-teller can keep secret about the result and ignore it, otherwise it is simple. A single word of reminder, or even a glance from a distance, will cause changes in things and become a factor in the hexagram." Li spread his hands, "To guard a secret, to spend a lifetime in silence, such a technique What's the use?"

Fang Xiandao opened his mouth, "Your master's statement...is too one-sided..."

"Maybe. But you are no longer on the alert and waiting to see? The Dongsheng warrior at the northeast street corner, you helped solve it?"

"It was Qianzhi who did it! It's none of the young master's business!" The little girl stepped forward.

"And guiding people to flee, is it also your hand? You have helped us a lot, and I must say thank you for this. You have made it one step, and you seem to have not followed the rules you said, "You can't get into the hexagram "what. "

"Master, does Qianzhi have to admit what other people have done?" Qianzhi raised her head.

"Shut up first!" Fang Xiandao cleared his throat and forcibly changed the subject, "I have nothing to do with guiding or anything. As for those attackers, I just fought back in self-defense, not to mention that these are trivial things! The reason why I met you here You guys want the two of you to send a message for Her Royal Highness...or for Xia Fan."

"Your fortune-telling prediction?" Li asked.

"Yes, the water in the hexagram plate is dark and sticky like I have never seen before, which means that there will be disasters in Jinxia City." Fang Xiandao folded his folding fan and said in a deep voice, "Although I don't know what it specifically refers to. , but this level of warning is definitely not something that people like you and I can handle. So my suggestion is to leave Jinxia City before nightfall today, and go as far as possible."

"Qianzhi, good at warning!" The little girl echoed.

Li was silent for a moment, "I think, this is not your first divination after coming to Jinxia, ​​right?"

"Of course. Why do you ask that?"

"Then did you expect that Xia Fan and the princess would step into the city and confront the enemies of Dongsheng Kingdom before the local army arrived?"

"..." Fang Xiandao was speechless for a while.Hexagrams cannot predict Xia Fan's actions, so he deliberately ignored Xia Fan's factor when divination, and only performed spells based on the changes in Jinxia City.But even so, he still failed to find clues in advance from the muddy dial.It was his own eyes that finally saw the answer.

Is it because he never considered that possibility that he indirectly affected the result of the hexagram?

"Since you don't plan to see Xia Fan, let me leave." Li politely cupped his hands, "But after meeting you, I now feel that this divination may not be useless."

Fang Xiandao looked up at her unexpectedly.

"It can at least help us predict the danger, and then intervene in the result with precautions." Li slowly said, "Even if the price is getting involved."

Chapter 154 Accountability

"Wang, get out!" Wen Xingyuan rushed all the way into the Wang's mansion, but he knocked down all the family members who tried to stop him, "Do you know what you are doing? Jinxia City has been turned upside down!"

When the black smoke first rose from the east of the city, he was still thinking that this kid was quick enough to attack and would be someone in the future, but then the billowing smoke and dust began to spread to other urban areas, and there was a dull roar from time to time, and the department staff realized that something was wrong up.

When he rushed all the way back to Jinxia City, what he saw made Wen Xingyuan almost tear up his liver and gallbladder!

What kind of pirate attack is this? What is going on in the city is clearly a war!

The Shenzhou army was indeed delayed, but out of nowhere, a coalition army of the princess and the privy government was fighting for every street with the Donghai gang.And that posture is by no means a gang fight, whether it is cooperation or discipline, both sides are elite.

He has been in the Privy Mansion for so many years, why didn't he know that there was an army hidden in the mansion?

It's not surprising that Princess Guangping has her own power, but Wen Xingyuan can't understand why she uses her hole card in this kind of place - if he doesn't cut off Jinxia's beacon message, Shenzhou Army can rush here in a day, How do you feel when you see this scene?

If it reaches the ears of the Holy One, even if the princess does not die, at least one layer of skin will be peeled off.

But now is not the time to gloat.

Whether the princess is dead or not is still a question, but if this situation continues, his Wen Xing is far from dead—in order to get the approval of the Privy Council as soon as possible, he sent "Jinxia City was attacked by pirates, please use emergency measures" before leaving the city. A secret letter to deal with the situation was sent to Gyeonggi, but when things got to this point, there must have been news from the Sixth Ministry, and there must be a huge discrepancy in the content of the two sides.If there is a deviation, there will naturally be an investigation. When facing the inspector, how will he explain that this is just a pirate attack?

Wen Xingyuan didn't expect the boy from the Wang family to keep his mouth shut.

"As an adult, Qingzhi is here, you don't have to embarrass those servants." Wang Qingzhi walked out from the attic, stood by the fence on the second floor and gestured to him.

Wen Xingyuan glanced at him coldly, and quickly went up to the attic.

Following the other party into the house, he confirmed that there was no one else in the house except Wang Qingzhi, and closed the door tightly with his backhand.

"You didn't take advantage of the chaos to run for your life. It's really beyond my expectation." Wen Xingyuan squinted his eyes and said, "The Donghai Gang that your father recruited seems to have devoured the master now."

"Escape? Why should I escape?" Wang Qingzhi brewed a cup of tea and pushed it in front of the other party, "Everything is going according to plan, isn't it?"

"Plan?" Wen Xingyuan said in disbelief, "What the old man wants is a controllable danger, not a real danger! Do you think you can control the current situation? The old man will tell you directly, Wang Family Ruined!"

"It's over?"

"That's right, colluding with overseas enemies and cooperating with outsiders to harm the capital of Shenzhou, no one can save you this time. In contrast, secretly selling private salt is a small problem!"

"My lord, the matter is actually not as bad as you think." Wang Qingzhi said unhurriedly, "To be honest, I was just as apprehensive as you at first, but then I thought about it, why bother to make salt for whom? Hanging alone on a tree. If Jinxia City can change its owner, will I still be colluding with the enemy and harming Shenzhou?"

Wen Xingyuan almost doubted his ears.

What the other party said was too unbelievable.

Let this city change its owner?

Under the watchful eye of state garrisons?

He really doesn't know how to write dead characters!

"Master Wen, you are a person with a sense of qi, or a dignified fifth-rank tester. No matter where you are, you are a talent worth attracting. If you are willing to work for Dongsheng Kingdom, you will definitely get rich rewards. Compared with Fu Cheng, you can expect a lot. As long as you nod your head for an unattainable seat, it is not impossible to hand over all the people in Shenzhou to manage you."

"What a joke!" Wen Xingyuan slapped the teacup flying with his palm, and stood up abruptly, "This old man is an official selected by Daqi, and Dongsheng is only a small island country. How can the two be compared? You have treasonous intentions, and you will bring disaster to the country and the people. Today, this old man will kill you." Fa-rectification!"

Before the words were finished, a talisman was quietly held at the fingertips.

Pop, pop, pop.

Suddenly, a burst of applause came from behind.

Wen Xingyuan broke out in a cold sweat in shock, when was there someone more behind him?

Almost without thinking about it, the prepared kun technique has already been launched-the wooden floor suddenly bulges, piercing staggeredly like stalagmites, forming a "low wall" integrating offense and defense behind him!

In the hands of beginners, this corner technique can only be performed on rocks and mud, but for him, any place where his feet step can be turned into a deadly trap.

However, Wen Xingyuan's first attack failed to achieve any results.

The sound did indeed come from behind, but there was no one behind.

When he turned his head, he found that the applause had already stood beside Wang Qingzhi - it was a man in Chinese clothes, with many golden patterns embroidered on the black robe.Its features are obscured by a mask, with a metal fingertip on one hand.

"It's really good to say that it's treason against the country and the country and the people." The other party opened his thin lips, and what Wen Xingyuan uttered were words that Wen Xingyuan least wanted to hear. Feng, what crime should it be?"

"Wang Qingzhi, you—!" Wen Xingyuan was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Don't get me wrong, he didn't tell me about the secret conversation, but I've been listening in from the sidelines since the beginning of your secret conversation." The masked man said calmly, "Considering that we were allies, that's why I gave I gave you such an opportunity, but it's a pity...you didn't grasp it."

"Nonsense!" He reprimanded angrily, but his heart sank to the bottom. The five senses of a person who senses Qi are different from ordinary people, and it is difficult to hide ordinary subtle movements from alchemists. There is a third party in it.This means that either the other party is good at hiding aura, or...the other party is also an aura-sensing person, and there is a way to reduce his perception ability.

Wen Xingyuan's sole purpose in coming to the palace is to bury the information that "he is the planner" forever, and push all the blame to the Wang family, so that he can protect himself during the investigation.But now, this is no longer something that can be achieved by solving one Wang Qingzhi.

Facing the masked man who might also be a cultivator, the faculty officer couldn't help but retreat.

It had been too long since he had fought on an equal footing.

"Kunshu Guishin—Fudo Myokami!"

Wen Xingyuan took out his unique skill of pressing the bottom of the box. This technique is a high-level secret of the Privy Council. It can greatly improve the strength and resistance of alchemists. It can be said that mortal bodies are invulnerable.If you practice to a high level, you can even summon Ming Wang Xuying to fight for you.Although he has not fully comprehended this method so far, at least it can exert the effect of protecting himself, and it is not a problem to block a few times of knives and swords.

Then, with the help of Myojin's power, he rushed towards the masked man with a stride, and hit the opponent's chest with both fists!

If you want to retreat, you must advance!

Once you show your timidity before fighting, the opponent will definitely take the psychological advantage, and thus display stronger spells than usual.
