Astral Apostle

   "Shenzhen, you misunderstood, I didn't embarrass the Taoist priest, but he blocked in the street, spit blood, and slandered my friend..."

   Zhang Wentao's face changed slightly and he explained.

   Zhou Jing turned his head to look at Mei Zhanqing, observed it for a while, and then said, "I don't know what your friend's name is, what is his origin?"

  Zhang Wentao quickly replied: "This is lay Buddhist Xuanxin, who also practices Taoism. He is temporarily staying in my Zhang's house. He is a distinguished guest in my house. He asked me to lead a line to visit the real person."

   "So it is." Zhou Jing nodded and said to Mei Zhanqing, "What's the matter with you seeing Pindao?"

   "I just admire real people and want to make friends with real people."

  Mei Zhanqing calmed down and gave a similar salute, with a soft and tactful tone.

   She wasn't sure about Zhou Jing's attitude, and because of the crowd of onlookers at this time, she naturally didn't dare to say her true intentions.

   At this moment, Wei Zifu opened his mouth and said solemnly:

   "The real person is careful, this woman is what I call Mei Zhanqing, who is the best at picking and replenishing. This time, she must be eyeing the real person, trying to ruin the real person's practice, and the real person must not follow her way."

   "You... shameless!" Mei Zhanqing was very annoyed and shouted: "You old man, you have ruined my reputation again and again, what is your intention!"

"Mei Zhanqing, you don't have to pretend in front of the real person. The real person has long reached the natural state of Taoism. You are an expert in the world, and you are highly accomplished in Wang Qi. You have nowhere to hide your filthy aura, and you can't hide it from ordinary people. , how can you hide from the real person?!"

   Wei Zifu said loudly.

   He was a little hard to ride a tiger, but now that Zhou Jing supported him, he shook his head and continued to confront him.

   Hearing this, Mei Zhanqing's eyes changed slightly and she was a little nervous.

   There is no qi-watching technique among the techniques she practices, but she also knows that the magic power and Taoism that she has learned from practicing sorcery is quite filthy, and in the eyes of qi-watching people, it is as bright and outstanding as a firefly in the dark night.

  If this Master Yufeng also knew how to look at qi, he would not be able to hold on to it, and someone would see through the details at a glance.

It's just that Mei Zhanqing was not afraid of being seen through, because she planned to have a showdown with Zhou Jing on this trip, but at this moment, Wei Zifu was preconceived and there were people watching, she was worried that she would not have the opportunity to explain her intention to Zhou Jing, and she would be regarded as hostile. .

   Thinking of this, Mei Zhanqing couldn't sit still, she took a step forward and said:

   "The real person should not listen to his one-sided words. In addition to admiring the real person, I am asking to see him. I also need to discuss things. I wonder if I can talk privately?"

   Zhou Jing glanced at her: "Is there anything I can't say here?"

  Mei Zhanqing gritted her teeth secretly and said, "It's a private matter, so it's not convenient to speak in public."

   "Since it's inconvenient to speak in front of everyone, it's not a good thing to think about. How can a poor Taoist talk to you in private and cause people to criticize."

   Zhou Jing shook his head, not wanting to chat with her at all.

   He just looked at it with the elemental vision. This female Taoist has a mixed breath, and the black air is entangled. It is a sorcerer, which proves that this person is very likely to be a good person.

  Although I don’t know the purpose of this person, but most of them are not reliable things, and my current reputation is growing, why should I have a relationship with such a right and wrong person with a black historical record, the harm outweighs the benefit.

  Mei Zhanqing felt depressed when she heard the words.

   How could the intention of cooperating to cling to the imperial power be said in public, and do you need your head?

   I was hit by the **** of plague today. Is it impossible to achieve my goal? I should leave the place of right and wrong first, and then plan the follow-up...

  Mei Zhanqing flashed his thoughts, backed away, and sighed deliberately:

   "The real person is preconceived and prejudiced against me. It seems that there is no way to talk today, so I will leave now, and I will come to visit later."

After   , she turned around and wanted to leave, and the Zhang family guard beside her also planned to protect her from leaving.

   However, Zhou Jing opened his mouth, stopped the group, and said quietly, "I haven't let you go yet. If you don't tell me why today, you won't be able to leave."

The    voice fell, and the Ye Family Nursing Home responded to the sound, immediately blocking the road and surrounding the Zhang Family and his party.

  Mei Zhanqing was stunned for a moment, then turned back angrily:

   "The real person is very domineering. I made a special trip to meet today and treat each other with courtesy. If you don't see me, forget it, and don't let me go, but what do you mean?"

  Zhang Wentao also stepped forward to stop it, a little unhappy: "Lay Xuanxin is a distinguished guest in my house, this is inappropriate for a real person..."

   Zhou Jing glanced at him with a smile, but suddenly changed the subject and said slowly:

   "Some time ago, the Grand Duke of Ye's family contracted a strange disease, and the whole city was helpless. It was the poor Daoist who cured him. You know this."

   Zhang Wentao was stunned for a moment, then nodded cautiously: "This matter spread to Ning Tianfu, of course I heard about it."

   Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes and said slowly:

"But the truth is not the case. What Ye Taigong contracted was not a disease, but an evil. It is very likely that someone will harm others with magic. I just took a look and found that this female Taoist has practiced magic, and she is you. The honored guest in the mansion... Could it be that your Zhang family colluded with her, secretly murdering Taigong Ye, and in the future you will also murder other nobles in Ningtian Mansion?"

   As soon as these words came out, the people around were in an uproar, and there was a lot of discussion.

   Zhang Wentao's face changed greatly: "How could my Zhang family do such a thing? You are innocent! Besides, it is well known in the city that Ye Taigong was ill, how did it become evil again today? The real people don't want to talk nonsense!"

   "Huh, the real person never said nonsense, the old man can testify!"

   At this time, Taigong Ye was led out of the house.

"The old man was entangled by evil a few months ago. Fortunately, the real man exorcised the evil spirits and saved his life. The old man also wants to know who harmed me. The real man can feel free to ask. If the murderer is found, my Ye family will never give up! "

   He looked at Zhang Wentao and spoke in a deep voice.

   Hearing the report of the servant, he hurried over, seeing the situation on the field, without hesitation to support Zhou Jing.

   Seeing that Ye Taigong, the victim, said so, many people present believed it by seven or eight points, and they were amazed.

   Zhang Wentao suddenly got stuck, and hurriedly waved his hand to deny: "There must be a misunderstanding in this, and my Zhang family has no such intentions."

   Zhou Jing said lightly: "Then you should step aside, don't cover up this female Taoist, let me wait for some cross-examination, otherwise it will make people doubt Zhang Jia's heart."

   He didn't know what happened to Ye Taigong's evil spirit, but he didn't mind taking advantage of the topic to run on Zhang's family and force him to do nothing.

   Zhang Wentao's face was gloomy and uncertain, but he finally gritted his teeth and withdrew the guards around Mei Zhanqing, stating that he would not intervene in this matter for the time being.

   In his opinion, although this is a bit embarrassing, it is also a matter of current affairs. Anyway, it is just a question or two, and it is not a big problem.

  Mei Zhanqing's heart sank, but her face remained unmoved. She frowned and said, "Why does the real person push each other so hard? I ask myself that I have never offended you, but the real person is aggressive towards me."

   "I have my own judgment." Zhou Jing didn't talk to her, but turned his head to signal for Wei Zifu to speak.

   Wei Zifu's face turned serious, and he immediately said sharply:

"You evil demon, how long do you have to pretend to be in front of a real person? You committed a major case in the North, and the poor daoist chased you for half a year. How could you admit your mistake? You have changed your name and surname, and you have become a guest of Ningtian Mansion. , I thought that the past can be left behind and no one will settle it!"

   He counted the evil deeds of Mei Zhanqing.

   Harvesting people, digging graves and refining corpses, torturing refugees and beggars to make them die in vain, thus giving birth to ghosts, using human life to help their own cultivation, and strengthening the zombies and little ghosts that they raised. He also used the curse technique to harm the dignitaries, and then came forward to defuse the benevolence, seek money and so on.

  Many people were exclaimed in surprise, shocked and frightened, only to think that this beautiful woman was simply a hideous monster in the world.

  Mei Zhanqing was exasperated after being exposed, but when so many people watched, she naturally couldn't recognize her, so she could only say angrily:

   "You old man spit out blood, I've endured again and again, but you think I'm weak and can be bullied. I'm not the person you said at all, but you've been entangled and bullied me as a woman!"

   One of the two accused and the other refused to admit it.

   At this moment, Zhou Jing interrupted, frowning:

"Okay, when will this be the case? In my opinion, this matter is also simple, the two of you will set up a time to fight in public, each with your own means, fair and open, others must not hinder, and the loser will be dealt with by the winner. It is."

   "Pindao listens to real people." Wei Zifu immediately expressed his position.

   Mei Zhanqing was extremely reluctant.

   Not to mention that the God of Plague surnamed Wei can’t beat the **** of plague, even if he wins, how can he win?

  If you don't use sorcery, you can't beat the surnamed Wei.

   She felt that this Master Yufeng was deliberately targeting her, forcing her to reveal the details in public, and she believed that she had a sorcerer.

Mei Zhanqing didn't want to respond, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why should I fight him? I acted upright and sat upright, this person slandered me a few words without any reason, so I have to prove my innocence? If you lose, you have to be dealt with by others, a real person is too partial!"

   Zhou Jing raised his brows: "You won't agree?"

   "What if you don't agree! Why should I listen to your arrangements?"

  Mei Zhanqing stalked his neck in response.

   Zhou Jing suddenly snorted coldly and rolled up his sleeves.

  Call—

   A gust of wind swept across the street, causing everyone present to stagger.

  Mei Zhanqing exclaimed, she felt as if she had hit a wall of wind head-on, slapped her whole body to the ground, and smashed her eyes with gold stars.

   Zhou Jing threw his sleeves and closed his hands. With the shocked eyes of everyone in the field, he said in a deep voice:

"If you don't want to, I will immediately capture you and interrogate you separately! That's it, three days later, the two of you will be on stage in Ningtian Mansion to fight... You don't want to run away early, if this person doesn't show up by then, I'll take your Zhang family and ask."

   The last sentence was addressed to Zhang Wentao, who was shocked beside him.

   Zhang Wentao's face changed, and he was angry.

  ‘This Lingfengzi is too domineering, I really think he is some kind of character. It's true that you have supernatural powers, but we recognize you, and you have the status you have today. If it weren't for us, you are a mere mountain Taoist who is qualified to speak nonsense in front of our Zhang family? Even if we ask... Bah, what kind of thing! ’

   His heart was full of resentment, but he did not dare to defy Zhou Jing, who showed his supernatural powers in public, so he gritted his teeth and responded:

   "The real person ordered, if An dare not obey, my Zhang family will persuade Xuanxin layman in these three days."

   "That's good."

   Zhou Jing nodded, raised his neck deliberately, put on a proud look, turned around and walked into Ye's house.

   The Ye Family Nursing Home withdrew the siege, Zhang Wentao didn't dare to say more, he took Mei Zhanqing and hurriedly left in front of the Ye family's door.

  The onlookers then dispersed in a hurry, running to tell each other.

   It didn't take long for the grievances between Wei Zifu and Mei Zhanqing to spread to the streets and alleys. More and more people in Ningtian Prefecture learned that under the auspices of Master Yufeng, the two would be on stage to fight in three days, and they were very interested.

   Even many dignitaries were quite curious and sent people to inquire.

   This matter quickly caused a storm in the city and spread to Ning Tian.

  …

   In the Ye family house.

   Wei Zifu moved in with his apprentice and was discussing with Zhou Jing how to fight in three days.

   "Thank you for your honesty and righteousness. If the real person hadn't come forward, Mei Zhanqing would have been sheltered by the Zhang family and could still be at ease. I don't know how many people would have been harmed."

   Wei Zifu bowed his hands and thanked him.

Zhou Jing waved his hand and asked, "I saw that the female Taoist was full of evil and turbid qi, and I knew that Daoist Wei's words were true. Since he promised to help, he would not break his promise. However, can the Taoist master and that person win the battle? "

   Wei Zifu stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"I don't dare to say 100%, but there is also an 80% chance of winning. Pindao's magic is the right way, and he is not afraid to show it in public, but Mei Zhanqing's sorcery is not on the stage, and there are many scruples. The enemy is too poor, and the way of fighting on the stage set by the real person is really good.”

   Zhou Jing was noncommittal, paused, and said: "Then Mei Zhanqing will not wait to die. We must make some preparations in the next three days, and Daoist Wei should be careful."

   Wei Zifu nodded, and then he was a little puzzled: "If that's the case, why did Zhenren let her go?"

   "Poor Daoist cares about her. Even though you and I know her details, it seems to others that it is only our side of the word. If she is forcibly detained, it will cause people to criticize. Only when she shows her sorcery in public can this matter be confirmed."

   Zhou Jing smiled and explained casually.

   This is just one of the reasons, but it is inconvenient to tell others the real meaning. If Mei Zhanqing is unwilling to sit still and make something happen, it will be in his favor.

   He has already stood his ground, and this time he has chosen Wei Zifu's side.

Not only does he have the righteous name of eliminating demons and defending the Tao, but also because Wei Zifu is a practitioner of the right way, he can walk in the rivers and lakes in an upright manner. The realm of nature” spreads more and more widely.

  But if you help Mei Zhanqing, it won't do him any good. This person is a rat crossing the street. He hides his head and shows his tail. And there are many black histories, and it will even make him provoked for nothing.

   After all, Mei Zhanqing has an aura of sorcery, and in the eyes of an expert who knows how to look for qi, it is too obvious.

  Although I don't know what whimsical plan this Mei Zhanqing has come to find me, but for me, the best choice is to use her as a stepping stone and use her evil name to build up my "right way" image.

  'It's a pity, I really want to see the art of harvesting and replenishing...'

   Zhou Jing smacked his lips, thinking wildly.

  …

   On the other side, Zhang Wentao and his party returned home.

   "Lay Xuanxin, please relax, my Zhang family will care about the fighting method after three days."

   Zhang Wentao bowed.

   "Then you'll have to work." Mei Zhanqing's face was gloomy, and she reluctantly recovered herself to return the courtesy.

   This time, she has seen the means of Master Yufeng. This wind-breathing technique is really sharp, and it can cause such a big movement. It is a rare attack technique.

   After experiencing it for himself, Mei Zhanqing is sure that if he is against him, he is definitely not an opponent.

  Because the three-day appointment was forcibly made with the head pressed, Mei Zhanqing was annoyed and panicked. She really had no confidence in this fight and was very worried.

   After leaving the Ye family, Mei Zhanqing has been thinking about whether to leave the Zhang family on the road and run away.

  The fool really waited three days!

   However, on the way back, Zhang Wentao deliberately instructed the guards to guard her. The name was protection, but it actually turned into a siege, which made Mei Zhanqing's abacus fail.

   She didn't know that the Zhang family was already suspicious and threatened by Master Yufeng, so she changed her attitude and took care of her instead. She had no choice but to go back to Zhang's house with her, ready to make another plan.

   As for the idea of ​​finding Zhou Jing to cooperate, it is no longer feasible.

  Mei Zhanqing saw Zhou Jing's attitude, and knew that this person was really planning to use her for a knife, and the other party was so sophisticated, it was unlikely that he would agree to join forces with her... After all, her chips were still too small.

  'In these three days, find an opportunity to escape from Zhang's house and stay away from Ningtian... By the way, make second-hand plans. If you don't escape, you must be prepared on the day of the fight. Even if you lose, you can escape...'

  Mei Zhanqing secretly calculated that under the supervision of Zhang Family Nursing Institute, she returned to the bamboo hut all the way.

   On the other hand, Zhang Wentao went directly to the head of the Zhang family and reported it carefully.

After hearing this, the head of the Zhang family frowned slightly and said suspiciously, "This Xuanxin layman is very good at Taoism, and he claims to be good at Fengshui. ?"

"I don't know, but there must be a reason for the incident, maybe they are all aimless." Zhang Wentao said, hesitated, and added: "It's just that the real Yufeng spit, saying that my Zhang family colluded with demons and used magic to kill people. The Grand Duke of the Ye family, this remark is a major blow to the reputation of my Zhang family. How will those nobles treat me? How will my Zhang family have a foothold in Ningtian Mansion in the future?"

   "What you said is not unreasonable." The head of the Zhang family pondered: "What are your plans?"

   Zhang Wentao rolled his eyes and suggested:

"In my opinion, no matter if Xuanxin layman is real or not, don't let her take the risk on stage to fight. Because if she is really a demon and shows it on stage, our Zhang family will really fall off the crotch... Let's just make a show. , let her escape before the fight."

   The Zhang family's patriarch frowned, shook his head and said, "But Master Yufeng said, if this person can't be on stage in three days, we will put this account on our Zhang family's head..."

   Zhang Wentao flashed anger in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"Patriarch, the lesser of the two evils, is it possible that our Zhang family dare not even listen to Lingfengzi's words? In the end, he is a Taoist without power and power, although he has some miraculous means, but everyone buys his account. That's all, he said out loud that he was asking me about Zhang's family, but in fact what he could do, it was just a harsh word.

  Our Zhang family has been based in Ningtian Prefecture for many years, the trade routes are prosperous, the connections are intertwined, the power tree has deep roots, and it is also the number one figure. Could it be that those business partners and nobles from aristocratic families would cut off contact with my Zhang family just because of a word from his Lingfengzi? Impossible, at most coaxing that Lingfengzi on the stage, how to get along with us in private, or get along with us.

  I want to say that those dignitaries have been holding that spirit too much these days, making him unable to carry his own weight or taels. He looks up on his own face, and becomes mad when he is successful! "

   Zhang Family Patriarch's face was gloomy and uncertain, a little moved, and a little hesitant, and he said to himself:

   "I'm afraid this move will make my Zhang family feel guilty..."
