Astral Apostle Chapter 180: Meet
In the Ye Family Hall.
Wei Zifu didn't realize Zhou Jing's subtle psychological changes, so he explained to himself:
"This demon is called Mei Zhanqing, who calls himself Qingmei layman. In the north, he uses magic to harm people, deceive officials and people, seek personal gain, and teach a friend of the poor to find out. My friend went to arrest this person. However, he was harmed by this demonic way, his mana was destroyed, and he became a crippled person.
"I only learned about it after the fact, and I chased after him personally, intending to eliminate the Demon Guard Road. I came all the way from the north and chased him for more than half a year. During this period, we fought many times, and all of them let this person escape. It was really slippery. Fortunately, Pindaojing is good at looking at the qi tracking technique and was not thrown away by this demon, and recently came to Ningtian Mansion along the residual breath of this person and found her hiding place."
"It's just that she bewitched the local gentry. I can only avoid the edge for a while. I just heard that there is a master named Zhenren in Ningtian Mansion, and I came to the door today to ask for help."
Zhou Jing listened patiently, her heart turning slightly.
Now that he has a reputation, he not only attracts the powerful and the common people, but also attracts such practitioners to visit and draw him into the turmoil.
Since this old man will come to the door for help, he should still be a decent person in his current image, right? That's right, the real big and bad seeds are all like themselves on the surface, and they often show people the right way.
Zhou Jing thought about it for a while, then pondered:
"What kind of magic is this demon good at? She can slip away in your hands, and she is also very capable."
Wei Zifu nodded, frowning and said: "This demon dao practiced some harmful techniques, and he knows the techniques of deterring victory, raising ghosts, refining corpses, and harvesting fortunes. Although this person is not as good as me, he can use the techniques. The methods of the law are strange and difficult to deal with. Although the talisman of the poor Dao restrains such evil techniques, Mei Zhanqing is indeed better at attacking than me. The poor Dao almost hit the Dao several times. The means of this man's assassination."
Zhou Jing nodded secretly.
It seems that the magic system and the level of Taoism are not the main source of combat power. The usefulness of the magic itself determines the combat power. Those harmful sorceries seem to be slightly better in facing the enemy.
"I don't know what kind of teacher this Mei Zhanqing is?"
Zhou Jing asked curiously.
Wei Zifu sighed: "I don't know what Mei Zhanqing's teacher is, but I just heard that this person was once put into the door by a certain wild cultivator, and later he harmed the master, occupied the magic book, and groped for the practice. He has a whole body of sorcery. In particular, he is the most proficient in the yin and yang harvesting and replenishing techniques. He uses this technique to do bad things, and I don’t know how many people have been harmed.
Zhou Jing also frowned when he heard the words: "So, this person must have harmed many women by harvesting yin and replenishing yang, or is he a flower thief?"
Wei Zifu's expression became subtle, he coughed and hesitantly said:
"But the old man didn't make it clear. This Mei Zhanqing is quite a beautiful woman, and she uses the technique of harvesting yang and nourishing yin... The people who were harmed by her were all men, and they were all sucked into adulthood, and they were all naked. The essence dissipated and I became a waste, which is what happened to my friend."
Zhou Jing's eyes widened.
For a long time, she turned out to be a witch?
That's a good experience...cough, surrender.
Zhou Jing hurriedly threw the yellow thoughts that popped up subconsciously out of his mind, tightened his expression, and asked seriously, "Which lord's house is this person hiding in Ningtian Mansion at the moment?"
"The Zhang family." Wei Zifu blurted out.
Zhou Jing's heart moved immediately.
This Zhang family is also a wealthy and wealthy businessman in Ningtian Prefecture. It looks like the Ye family. They have some business dealings.
Zhou Jing pondered for a while, and said slowly: "The poor man already knows about this matter. You can ask for help, and you can help you. I just listen to one side of the story, and I don't want to come forward rashly. I also know, and I will make a decision when I see this plum blossoming green with my own eyes.”
"Listen to real people."
Wei Zifu surrendered. He didn't expect to convince Yufeng Zhenren to help as soon as they met. He had nothing to do with it. Naturally, people should keep more snacks.
After all, he has requests from others, and he doesn't mind Zhou Jing delaying for some time to verify.
Zhou Jing waved his hand and said: "If you teach me to check this out, I will come forward and tell the Zhang family, so that they will no longer guard the demon, and you can fight against Mei Zhanqing. After all, this is I can't help you with your affairs, but at most I will create some opportunities for you. If this demon wants to escape, I will stop him from going."
After listening to the words, it is a bit out of place to act on behalf of others. The image of the master he took is not the kind of person who hates evil and hates evil, and the one-stop help is more in line with the current style of "Yufeng Zhenren".
"That's right, thank you for your help, that's enough."
Wei Zifu hurriedly thanked him.
Although Master Yufeng didn't intend to do it himself, Wei Zifu didn't mind. He was not the kind of person who, under the banner of righteousness, forced others to take action against demons.
In the line of magic, the distinction between good and evil is relatively simple. No matter what kind of magic is practiced, it is evil to use it to harm people, but there is no such thing as a demon that perverts the Tao and kills everyone.
Because most of the people who practice magic are born people, they are all idle clouds and wild cranes, and they don't like many rules and regulations.
Wei Zifu didn't want to bother others, but Yaodao was sheltered, so he came to ask Zhou Jing for help, just to take advantage, he still planned to do it himself, after chasing it for more than half a year, he also wanted to end the demon with his own hands road.
In addition, Master Yufeng promised to swipe the formation, this time most likely he won't be slipped away by this demon, he is quite satisfied.
In the past, it was his own incompetent apprentice who swept the array, but if the apprentice's ability was so high, how could this demon escape from him repeatedly?
Thinking of this, Wei Zifu couldn't help but glance at the disciple behind him.
Li Qingyang was confused, he didn't speak, and he didn't know how to make the master unhappy again.
Wei Zifu realized that the matter had been settled, stood up and cupped his hands: "Then I'll go back and wait for the good news."
Zhou Jing raised his hand to stop it and smiled: "Wei Daochang doesn't have to meet outsiders. You and I see each other well, why don't you come and stay with me, so that we can save going back and forth, and we can still talk at night by candlelight."
Wei Zifu hesitated: "This...I'm afraid it's a little annoying to the master?"
"It's okay, the Ye family is hospitable, I'll just say a word."
Zhou Jing chuckled.
Hearing this, Li Qingyang hurriedly looked at Master and interjected: "Master, I think it's okay, so we can finally have a few full meals."
"...If you don't speak, no one thinks you are dumb."
Wei Zifu glared at his apprentice angrily.
Immediately, he bowed his hands to Zhou Jing and said with shame, "The real person invites you, but I dare not refuse. I will go back to the inn to pay for the room and bring my luggage."
"Okay, I instruct the steward to arrange a wing for you." Zhou Jing nodded.
Wei Zifu's master and apprentice then retired and left with the servants
Watching the backs of the two go away, Zhou Jing's eyes flashed.
This kind of battle between people in the practice, he intends to step in, and further contact this other "Jianghu" that is different from the green forest.
Forging a good relationship with Wei Zifu, an expert, is equivalent to having an acquaintance in the world of practice, and it is more able to create a golden signboard of his "high man", and at the same time, it is also an incision to get involved in this "jianghu".
In addition, if your own plans are launched, there may be people in the practice who will provoke you in the future. This time it happened that he would be involved in this matter, just to see how these cultivators fight and accumulate some experience.
Although this will allow people other than myself to have the opportunity to show their means, and let the powerful people in Ning Tianfu discover that there are still experts. But the world already has true teaching techniques, and it is impossible for oneself to be the only one, and there will always be other experts.
This time, I might be able to take advantage of the opportunity... As long as I show that my own magic skills are more superb, and even have a natural state of Taoism certified by Wei Zifu, my reputation will be even higher.
Zhou Jing thought about it, got up and walked out of the room, called another steward, and ordered:
"I've seen enough people today, but what else is worth seeing? If not, then tell the people outside to close the door and thank you."
There are too many people who come to visit every day. He only spends part of his time receiving guests, and other times he spends his time practicing witchcraft and alchemy.
The steward heard the words and reported: "The eldest housekeeper of the Zhang family has just arrived, and he brought a female Taoist with him. He handed over the invitation and wanted to come to the door to ask for an interview. They are waiting outside the mansion. Do you want to see the real person?"
Zhou Jing was startled and turned to look at the steward in surprise:
"Woman? What does she look like and what's her name?"
"Uh, that person was covered with a veil, and his appearance was not real, but he should be quite glamorous, and he seemed to be called Xuanxin layman." The steward responded.
Zhou Jing frowned.
Although the names are different, he doesn't believe in such a coincidence. Either Wei Zifu didn't tell the truth, or this layman Xuanxin mentioned Mei Zhanqing just now and deliberately changed his name... He prefers the latter.
'Good guy, just mentioned people, and this person is here. ’
Zhou Jing was amazed, and was about to instruct the steward to invite this group of people in.
At this time, he moved for a while and suddenly remembered something.
——Wei Zifu just walked away and was about to leave the house when he seemed to bump into Mei Zhanqing who was waiting outside...
Aw, that's just a coincidence!
Fate is really wonderful.
Zhou Jing walked straight towards the mansion gate without saying a word, but he didn't want to miss the excitement.
……
Wei Zifu walked along the road to the gate of the Ye family's house, and couldn't help but scold his apprentices on the way.
"I told you not to speak, why are you talking?"
"But Master, we're really going to be incapacitated."
"Bullshit, as far as you know? Your master, I just politely shirk one or two, I was supposed to agree, but when you say that, it's like receiving help, shame!"
"...But aren't we just being helped?" Li Qingyang wondered.
"Alas, why did I accept you as an apprentice to pass on my mantle? Not only are you not good at arts and skills, but you can't even share your worries and solve problems with your master, but you still keep pushing me, and my life is suffering." Wei Zifu sighed.
Li Qingyang hurriedly moved the subject awkwardly: "Master, why are you so respectful to the Master Yufeng, more polite than our ancestors."
"Humph, what do you know, that Yufeng Renren's Taoism is rare in the world, and his techniques are in a line of their own. Maybe they are more powerful than our ancestors. The best ones are the first, so I'll be respectful."
Li Qingyang scratched his head: "Since he is so powerful, can I worship him as a teacher?"
Wei Zifu's eyes widened in disbelief, and pointed to himself: "Are you here to ask me? Do you still have my master in your eyes?"
"Well, yes, so I'm not asking for your opinion?"
"Rebel! Rebel!"
Wei Zifu was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, turned his head and left.
The two bickered all the way to the gate of Ye's house.
Wei Zifu suddenly felt something, turned his head to look at the group of people waiting beside him, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he stared at one of the veiled Taoist women.
This female Taoist also found Wei Zifu who came out of Ye's house, and also cast her eyes.
The two met their eyes, and they both burst into sparks of shock.
"Yao Dao! Quit!"
Wei Zifu's expression suddenly changed, he shouted without hesitation, and strode forward.
'Damn, why is this plague **** chasing after him again! ’
The female Taoist Mei Zhanqing was taken aback and complained in her heart.
This old man has been chasing her for more than half a year, fighting from the north to the south. He is haunted. He is like a ghost who wants to kill her. He doesn't let her go without saying anything, which really annoys her.
In addition, this old man actually came out of the Ye family... Could it be that he has an old relationship with this Master Yufeng?
Or, this old Niubi also has plans to cooperate, and asks Master Yufeng to deal with her?
Mei Zhanqing suddenly had all kinds of guesses, and she hated in her heart.
Why was someone else jumping in first?
Why is my aunt always one step behind!
She immediately denied it, pretended to be angry, and scolded: "You are so rude! I have never seen you, why call me a demon?"
A sudden change occurred, and the Zhang family guards immediately approached, guarding Mei Zhanqing's side, preventing Wei Zifu from approaching.
Wei Zifu had no choice but to stop, and across the wall, he said loudly:
"Mei Zhanqing! Don't pretend that you don't know me. You use tricks to hurt people, hurt people's wealth, and your evil deeds are obvious. You have your own retribution. The poor man chased you for half a year and vowed to get rid of you!"
Mei Zhanqing raised her eyebrows and pretended to be dissatisfied: "What Mei Zhanqing, but you admit your mistake, my name is Yu Xin, Taoist Xuanxin layman, I never knew you."
"You don't want to deny it, so what if you change your name, when I don't recognize you?"
Wei Zifu shouted.
"That's right, I've seen you too, and you almost picked up the yang to replenish the yin, but unfortunately...fortunately, you didn't take advantage of it." Li Qingyang nodded again and again while helping.
Mei Zhanqing was immediately annoyed and glared at Li Qingyang angrily, causing Li Qingyang to shrink his neck and hide behind his master.
At this time, the leader of the Zhang family came forward, frowning and questioning:
"In the next chapter, Wentao, who is the master of the Zhang family's house, and Xuanxin layman is a guest of my Zhang family. What do you mean when you say something offensive? What is your origin?"
Wei Zifu reined in his temper, held a courtesy, and said solemnly: "Poor Wei Zifu, I have met Zhang Daguan. Please listen to me, the female Taoist by your side, her real name is Mei. Bianqing, once used the name of Qingmei layman to commit a major case in the north, and used magic to harm many people. I chased her for more than half a year, and she escaped many times, so don’t let the high officials be deceived by this evil way.”
Zhang Wentao snorted coldly:
"Ridiculous! How can you take the words of a savage Taoist who doesn't know where you came from, how can you take it seriously? The layman Xuanxin has extraordinary self-discipline, but you spit out blood and confuse the public. I think you are like a demon! I am answering Xuanxin this time. Layman Xin requested to come to visit the real person Yufeng specially, it has nothing to do with the idle people, if you don't stop me, don't blame me for being rude, I will take you down on the street!"
Mei Zhanqing was secretly delighted, and she also pretended to be calm and said:
"This Daoist Wei, I have never seen you, let alone the person you said. You spread rumors and cause troubles to smear my name. I respect your old age and don't want to hold you accountable. Disrespectful, what kind of decency is it to be entangled with a woman like me in the street?"
Hearing this, Wei Zifu knew that he would not be able to persuade others, so he frowned at the current situation and was quite apprehensive.
He still has to be concerned about the laws of the court. He is not good at fighting in the street, and there are more than ten Zhang family guards around him. Although he has good skills, he is old and frail, and he is not good at fighting and attacking. Do not deal with these guards.
For a while, the two sides confronted each other, and they were deadlocked.
The people who were also queuing outside the Ye family mansion were curiously watching. Although they didn't know what was going on, it didn't prevent them from joining in the fun.
Just then, a gust of wind hits.
Call—
Everyone looked up and saw Zhou Jing walking in the wind, flying out of Ye's house, and falling lightly into the two groups.
"It's the real Yufeng!"
Many people hurriedly bowed down, excited and excited.
Zhang Wentao also hurriedly changed his face and stepped forward to meet him: "See the real person~IndoMTL.com~ Zhou Jing nodded and returned the salute, then looked around, his eyes finally fell on Mei Zhanqing, and he spoke expressionlessly:
"A few confronted in front of the Ye family's door. Do you think my Ye family is like nothing?"
When the voice fell, the servants of the Ye family who were hesitating and watching, were all shocked, excited and surprised, their faces were bright, and they were very honored.
A real person actually took the initiative to protect our Ye family? !
Crash-
In an instant, a large number of nurses poured out of the Ye family's mansion, directly separating the Zhang family and Wei Zifu, and guarding Zhou Jing in the middle, with a look of "Whoever dares to touch a real person will have a hard time with our Ye family. "The appearance of Zhou Jing, only Zhou Jing followed his lead, waiting for an order at any time, and did not hesitate to act.
Next, Zhou Jing looked at Zhang Wentao, whose face changed slightly, and said slowly:
"This Daoist Wei is my honored guest, and Layman Zhang should not bully him, he is poor and incompetent, and would like to be a witness. Whether he is upright or not, he has his own judgment. If there is anything, just tell me clearly to my face. !”
