Build the Traveler Alliance from scratch

As soon as these words came out, Zhan Zhao immediately came back to his senses.

Knowing that he had made a mistake, he quickly stood up and wanted to apologize.

Master Zishan smiled slightly, raised his hand to stop Zhan Zhao, and said with a smile: "Donor, we meet again."

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said he didn't dare, and then he bowed his hands respectfully and said: "It turns out that the master that Brother Bai mentioned is the Taoist priest. Previously in Qiantang County, it was Zhan Zhao who had eyesight but did not recognize Mount Tai. If there is any offense, please forgive me." !”

Master Zishan chuckled and said there was no harm in speaking frankly.

Bai Yutang suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "It turns out you met that night!"

Zhan Zhao nodded, then looked at the tall young man behind Master Zishan, and said hesitantly: "Is this the young man who followed the Taoist Master four months ago?"

"certainly."

Xu Xian nodded matter-of-factly, and then asked suspiciously, "Brother Zhan, didn't you recognize me?"

"..."

Zhan Zhao laughed sarcastically and said dryly: "After not seeing each other for several months, the student has changed a lot. Zhan Zhao didn't dare to recognize each other for a while..."

Master Zishan waved his hand and said: "A boy of thirteen or fourteen years old is at the age of pulling out his body. It is normal for him to run faster!"

...Is it really normal?

Zhan Zhao looked at the tall man in front of him who was 1.85 meters tall and his chest muscles almost burst out of his Taoist robe. He recalled the thin and handsome young man in the alley four months ago and couldn't help but fell silent.

At the same time, Zishan Zhenren ordered his apprentice to go get some tea. He sat on a chair and glanced at the two of them and said, "The bad disciple urgently called me out of seclusion, saying that Mr. Bao from Kaifeng Mansion is in trouble. Are you serious about this?"

"……really!"

Seeing Master Zishan getting straight to the point, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's expressions immediately became solemn.

The former looked at Master Zishan and repeated what he had said to Xu Xian before.

After hearing this, Master Zishan frowned and said, "Xu is some kind of harmful nightmare spell..."

As soon as these words came out, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang immediately looked at each other, but they were not too surprised and excited.

Bai Yutang frowned and asked doubtfully: "Taoist Priest, you told me before that the imperial court upholds the mandate of heaven, and everyone in the government is protected by the energy of dragon, tiger and official fire."

"Bao Gong is a censor sent by the imperial government to supervise. He has a high and powerful position, and his aura of dragon and tiger is far better than that of ordinary officials."

"It seems that people like this are already invulnerable to evil spirits, so how can they be harmed by the nightmare spell?"

In this world where immortals, gods and demons are mixed, the mortal court naturally has to deal with some strange things.

Therefore, after the medical methods failed to work, they also thought that there might be evil ways to assassinate Bao Gong.

Zhan Zhao and others even invited many Taoist monks to perform rituals to exorcise Bao Gong, but to no avail.

Master Zishan shook his head and said softly: "Since Pindao can tell the name of dragon and tiger energy, it means that we have already done research on it."

"As Donor Bai said, the dragon-tiger aura of a high-ranking and powerful person like Bao Gong is invulnerable to all poisons, but this does not mean that the dragon-tiger aura is truly invincible."

"To tell you the truth, as far as I know, there are no less than three ways to get rid of it."

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other and said solemnly: "What's the plan?"

Master Zishan glanced at Xu Xian, who came in with a teapot, and said in a leisurely tone: "The most well-known method is to incite rebellion, or to attract the power of other countries to start a war, in order to weaken the national destiny of the court and destabilize the spirit of dragon and tiger."

"But this method is very intrusive and involves a wide range of things, so no one will use it."

"Moreover, the impact on the national destiny and the turmoil in the world will also drag the planners into the game and force them to participate in the game. If they are not careful, they will end up with their souls scattered and their body and soul destroyed..."

Saying that, Master Zishan paused, glanced at the two of them and said, "Speaking of this, you should all have remembered a name, right?"

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other, nodded, and said solemnly: "In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a great virtuous teacher named Zhang Jiao."

After saying that, Zhan Zhao immediately said: "Taoist Master, I think the world is at peace, the country is stable, and there are few wars between the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty. Isn't this the method used?"

Master Zishan nodded and continued: "As for the remaining two methods, although the second method is different from the first, the principles are similar. They both destabilize the current situation and weaken the dragon and tiger energy."

"There are many specific methods. You can confuse the people and preach to the world, such as the White Lotus Sect, or you can build a large array and sacrifice blood to the people..."

As Master Zishan talked, the eyes of Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao gradually became weird.

Xu Xian, who was pouring tea next to him, also froze and quickly gestured with his eyes to remind his master that there was no need to explain in such detail.

When he noticed Xu Xian's eyes, Master Zishan came back to his senses. He ended the topic with some lingering thoughts and said instead: "But this method is also very involved and difficult to hide. Therefore, the person who secretly harmed Mr. Bao is very A third method may have been used."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other and said solemnly, "Please elaborate, Taoist Master."

Master Zishan said leisurely: "It's very simple. If you can't beat me, then join!"

Hearing this sentence, Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang and Xu Xian were all startled.

Master Zishan said with a smile: "Don't you understand? The poor Taoist will explain in more detail, such as joining the game personally and becoming a master of the Song Dynasty, or finding a high-ranking official with the same high authority, so that the dragon and tiger energy in him can match the energy of Bao Gong. The energy of the dragon and the tiger are in conflict, and through the situation of the two tigers competing, the caster can avoid the backlash and curse Bao Gong! "

As soon as these words came out, both Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were shocked.

This is it!

Bai Yutang frowned and said in a low voice: "The Song Dynasty does not have a national master, that means there are high-ranking officials in the court who are acting in secret!"

Zhan Zhao clenched his fists tightly with an angry look on his face: "Sure enough, there is a traitor who is plotting against Mr. Bao!"

Master Zishan picked up the tea cup, blew on the tea, and said, "Do you two have any clues?"

Zhan Zhao frowned and thought deeply, but after a long time, he still couldn't say one, two, three, four.

Bai Yutang asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Zhan Zhao sighed and said: "Mr. Bao is an upright man and an honest official. In addition, he is selfless, loyal and upright. If there are any high-ranking officials in this court who have a clear conscience towards Bao Gong, I can find a few, but if there are any If anyone is dissatisfied with Bao Gong, that’s too much!”

Hearing this sentence, Bai Yutang and Xu Xian suddenly realized.

It turned out that it was not that Zhan Zhao could not think of it, but that there were too many targets and it was difficult to judge for a while.

This is really...

Bai Yutang shook his head, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Zhan Zhao suddenly stood up, raised his hands solemnly, and bowed to Master Zishan.

As one of the few martial arts masters in the world, Zhan Zhao is never afraid of things being too difficult, but he is afraid of not being able to achieve his goals.

Previously, the Bao Mansion had invited many medical masters, but none of them had a clue about Bao Gong's symptoms. No matter how skilled and powerful Zhan Zhao was in martial arts, he still drew his sword and looked around at a loss.

Now that he has found Master Zishan, he has revealed a secret. How could he not feel grateful.

After he straightened up, Zhan Zhao solemnly raised his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Taoist Master. Zhan will return to Beijing immediately and search the residences of all the important ministers in the court. We will definitely catch the monster who did this!"

After saying that, he immediately stood up and wanted to leave.

"etc!"

Master Zishan waved his sleeves, and the door to the room immediately closed tightly.

Zhan Zhao was slightly startled, turned around, and looked at Master Zishan in confusion.

Master Zishan shook his head and said: "Donor, don't be impatient, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

"The demon spell in Bao Gong's work is similar to the nightmare curse, but the specific kind of nightmare curse is still unknown. As far as Pindao knows, the casting period of some nightmare spells is extremely short. The shortest one only takes seven days. It can cause the person who is cursed to die."

"Almsgiver Zhan, I wonder how many days have passed since Mr. Bao was cursed?"

Zhan Zhao was shocked when he heard this and said quickly: "Today happens to be the sixth day!"

Master Zishan sighed: "Then you have to prepare for the worst..."

Zhan Zhao was so anxious that he paced back and forth: "I searched all over the capital for a day and a night. How can I... how can I find this!"

And not only the high-ranking officials in the court, but also the local officials who have been sent out are also likely to be the masterminds behind the scenes.

Xu Xian and Bai Yutang also looked worried.

The former was anxious and couldn't help but said: "Master, you should have something to do, right?"

Master Zishan glanced at him, then stood up holding on to the armrests of the wooden chair, and sighed softly: "Well, since Mr. Bao is in trouble, the poor Taoist will make an exception and go out to help the prime minister's house."

As soon as these words came out, both Xu Xian and Bai Yutang were filled with surprise.

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then he solemnly raised his hands and said: "The Taoist priest has great righteousness, I admire you, and I am ashamed to accept the kindness of the prime minister's house, but for the matter of leaving the mountain, there is no need..."

"……ah?"

Upon hearing this, Master Zishan, who was still pretending, was suddenly stunned.

Xu Xian and Bai Yutang next to him were also startled, looking at him with puzzled faces.

"Why?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said firmly: "It is already a sin to visit without permission. If the Taoist priest goes out to the mountain, harms his own cultivation, and interferes with the court, how will Zhan Zhao feel about it?"

"As for Mr. Bao's matter, with my strength, as long as I stay awake and search all over Kyoto, it won't be a problem. At most, it will be difficult to deal with it, and I will be impeached and lose my official position!"

...Which version of Zhan Zhao is this? Why is he so stubborn?

Master Zishan twitched the corner of his mouth, shook his head and said: "What the donor said is wrong. As the saying goes, doing good causes will produce good results. Pindao's willingness to leave the mountain is the good cause created by Bao Gong. Pindao is just repaying the good results. Donor Don’t worry about that!”

These words were so righteous and righteous that Zhan Zhao was deeply moved.

Suddenly, he bent his knees and knelt in front of Master Zishan like pushing a golden mountain toppling a jade pillar.

Master Zishan was startled by his sudden movement and quickly waved his sleeves to lift Zhan Zhao up with his magic power.

But Zhan Zhao is worthy of being a peerless master in the world today. After Master Zishan used his magic power, he still resisted the force and kowtowed to Master Zishan.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, Zhan Zhao's knees and forehead were deeply embedded into the ground, causing numerous dense cracks to appear on the floor tiles paved with ink jade.

Master Zishan was stunned when he saw this, and immediately looked at the cracked jade brick with black lines on his head.

Bai Yutang came back to his senses and quickly stepped forward to help Zhan Zhao up, sighing: "Brother Zhan, why do you have to..."

Zhan Zhao shook his head firmly, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Master Zishan coming to him with a gloomy face.

"Taoist Priest..."

Before Zhan Zhao could finish speaking, Master Zishan interrupted him and said angrily: "Stop talking, let's set off now. When we get to Gong Bao's house, don't forget to submit the order."

Zhan Zhao was stunned when he heard this: "List, what list?"

"What do you think?" Master Zishan glared at him, then pointed to the crack under his feet and said, "Of course it's Taoist's ink jade floor tiles!"
