Taiping Inn

The crowd continued to move forward, and the tower was getting closer and closer.

However, there was an arch bridge between the tower and the downtown. Before arriving at the arch bridge, a gong sounded, and then a sedan chair with eight people carrying him came silently from the bridge. The one walking in front was a man dressed as a yamen runner, with a square hat and black boots, holding a gong in his hand, to clear the way. When the county magistrate went out, the gong was sounded, and it was beaten three or seven times, which was called three-stick gong and seven-stick gong, meaning "quickly avoid" and "military and civilians should avoid together". When the prefect went out, the gong was beaten, and the nine-stick gong was beaten, meaning "officials, soldiers and civilians should avoid together". When a state governor came out, eleven gongs were beaten, meaning "civil and military officials, soldiers and civilians should avoid together". When the governor-general was out, because he was a top-ranking official, thirteen gongs were beaten, meaning "civil and military officials, soldiers and civilians should avoid together". This man beat thirteen gongs in a row, which was actually the treatment of the governor.

Behind them were eight yamen runners, holding "avoid" signs, "silence" signs, official title signs, iron chains, wooden sticks, black-scabbard whips, golden gourds, and tail guns. There were guards on both sides of the sedan chair, wearing armor and holding long spears. There were bright red tassels on the helmets and long spears, and the momentum was huge.

As expected, this group of people were not living people either. The sedan bearers were all paper dummies, and the yamen runners and guards had wooden expressions and dull eyes.

Li Xuandu stopped and stood with his sword.

The group also stopped, and the leading yamen runner who beat the gong said, "How dare you! The governor is traveling, why don't you give way?"

This surprised Li Xuandu a little, because along the way, except for those in the witch cult, the ghosts in the city never talked to them, and this was the first "person" who spoke.

Since that was the case, Li Xuandu did not rush to take action, but asked, "I wonder which minister is here?"

The yamen runner cleared his throat and said, "Listen carefully, my master is the Minister of War and the Right Censor-in-Chief, the governor of Qinzhou, Zhongzhou and other places, the admiral of military affairs, food and wages, the management of rivers, and the governor-general."

Li Xuandu was slightly startled. Although this list of names is very long, it can be summed up in two words: "Governor". The governor is a frontier official. In the early years, it was not a permanent official position. It was established for the purpose and was dismissed after the matter was completed. By now, it has become a permanent official position, governing one or several states. Those who serve as governors are often granted the titles of Minister of War or Chief Censor.

The so-called governor of Qinzhou, Zhongzhou and other places means that this governor is the governor of Qinzhong. Since Emperor Muzong, the court has only had two governors of Qinzhong, Qi Ying and Qin Xiang. After the fall of Qinzhou, the governor of Qinzhong has been vacant for a long time, which is equivalent to being abolished.

Qin Xiang is now leading the army in Liaodong, of course he can't appear here, and Qi Ying died at the hands of the geomancer, but I don't know where another governor of Qinzhong came from.

Li Xuandu said: "I have never heard of any governor of Qinzhong, I'm afraid he is a fake."

The yamen runner was furious when he heard this, his expression changed from wooden to ferocious, and pointed at Li Xuandu with the small hammer used to hit the gong in his hand: "Come on, take down this bold lunatic!"

The soldiers behind him responded and attacked Li Xuandu together.

Li Xuandu stabbed a few times at random, and then repelled the soldiers. Then he attacked the yamen runner who was beating the gong with a sword. At this moment, the two yamen runners behind the yamen runner who was beating the gong suddenly jumped out, one holding the "avoid" token and the other holding the "silence" token, and attacked Li Xuandu from the left and right.

Li Xuandu used his backhand to pick up the "avoid" token, and then slapped it with his palm, hitting the "silence" token, and just one palm directly shattered the yamen runner.

This incident caused the remaining six yamen runners to move together, and together with the soldiers who were forced back by Li Xuandu before, they surrounded Li Xuandu and attacked from all directions.

These yamen runners and soldiers were originally fierce ghosts that could transform into physical entities, comparable to masters of the Xiantian realm. With the addition of Yin Qi, the location of the ghost country, and the harmony of the ghosts, their strength increased dramatically, and they have broken through to the second and third floors of the Return to Truth Realm. At this time, if they attacked together, even masters of the ninth floor of the Return to Truth Realm would be worried about their own death.

However, Li Xuandu was already in the Heavenly Man Infinite Realm, and it was effortless to deal with it. He used attack instead of defense. Wherever the sword energy passed, there would be a ghost that would turn into green smoke. Even though they could continue to regenerate with the strong Yin Qi and the special environment of the ghost country, Li Xuandu killed faster. In less than half an incense stick of time, all the yamen runners were dead, and the ghosts and several soldiers who beat the gong retreated to the side and shrank back. Only the big sedan chair carried by eight paper sedan bearers was left in the middle of the road.

Li Xuandu held up the "Human World" in his hand, walked slowly forward, came to the front of the sedan chair, and lifted the curtain with the tip of his sword. He saw a senior official in the court wearing the first-class official uniform sitting in it, with his legs spread out, his hands placed on his knees, and his eyes closed. Looking at his face, it was ashen, without a trace of blood, and his eye sockets were even darker. Obviously, he was not a living person, but a zombie, with a hard luster like gold and iron.

Just after Li Xuandu lifted the curtain, this person suddenly opened his eyes, and two breathtaking lights shot out of his eyes, rushing straight at Li Xuandu.

Almost at the same time, Li Xuandu's long sword also thrust straight into this person's chest without any hesitation.

This man reached out to hold the "world in the world", and the sword tip and palm actually rubbed a sound of gold and stone, sparks flew everywhere. Li Xuan frowned slightly, and was surprised that this person's attack speed could keep up with his sword-drawing speed, but he was not too afraid. After reaching the infinite realm, his aura became more and more vast and there was no need to do anything else. Win by cleverness, you can also defeat people. At this time, you just activate the five great magical skills and forcibly shake the person's palm, and at the same time smash the sedan chair that the eight people ride along with eight paper sedan chairmen. .

The "person" still maintained a sitting posture, looked down at his palm before slowly standing up and slowly speaking, "Who is coming?"

Li Xuandu retreated back to the formation. At this time, Qin Buyi, Xiao Shiyu and Shen Yuanzhong also came to Li Xuandu's side. Li Xuandu was young, but these three people were all older, especially Qin Buyi. He is a fellow of Wanshou Zhenren. After seeing this "person", these three people were shocked at the same time and said in unison: "Qi Ying!"

Li Xuan had never met Qi Ying, but he had heard of Qi Ying's deeds. He had become a disciple of Shenxiao Sect and studied at the Wanxiang Academy. He became an official in the Yong Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. In the 22nd year of Yong, he was appointed as the Qin Dynasty and was appointed as the Qin Dynasty. The Governor General made peace with the Khanate of the Golden Horde. By the time of Wude, Qi Ying was already the pillar of the country that supported half of the country. When the Jin Horde army attacked Qinzhou, the local master Xu Wugui used a "ghost curse" to plot against Qi Ying, causing his body to be destroyed. At that time, Qi Ying was under his command, and no one could break Xu Wugui's curse. In the end, Qi Ying died and the Xijing City was easily captured. This is why Qin Xiang later became the governor of Qinzhong to recover Xijing, Qinzhou and Liangzhou.

Such a person has been dead for many years, how could he appear here?

Xiao Shiyu said, "A person cannot be resurrected when he dies. This is the most wise rule of the Emperor of Heaven, and the earthly immortals cannot violate it. Even if it is a ghost or a living zombie, it is just a hollow shell, which has nothing to do with his life. Could it be soap The Pavilion Sect stole Qi Ying's corpse and refined his corpse into a living corpse? "

Shen Yuanzhong said: "It's not impossible. Over the years, the Tibetan old man robbed the remains of the monks and captured disciples of various sects. It is not impossible to add this at this time."

When talking about this, Xiao Shiyu's face darkened. Several disciples of Xuannv Sect were killed by the old man Tibetan. This time she attacked Beimang Mountain, she also had the intention of taking revenge.

After hearing this, Li Xuandu remembered a past incident. Last year, because of the Taiyin corpse, he encountered Hong Chengqiu, the leader of the Houqing Temple of Zaoge Sect in Beimang County. The two had a fight, and Hong Chengqiu He used the "Wuji Gun". At that time, Li Xuan was still wondering why people in the Zaoge Sect would use Qi Ying's unique skills. Now it seems that not to mention Qi Ying's unique skills, Qi Ying himself. He did not take off the poisonous hand of Zaoge Sect.

Qi Ying glanced at everyone and sneered, "Little thief, you dare to come and block the way of this supervisor."

Xiao Shiyu frowned slightly: "I had dealt with Qi Ying back then, but he was not talking like this."

Qin Buyi sighed: "The person in front of him only has Qi Ying's appearance and some memories, and it is no longer Qi Ying back then."
