The Taoist ancestor is Cthulhu

Chapter 99 Patrolling the River

Some people will definitely be surprised that since Mozhu Mountain is so powerful, in addition to the main lineage of the mountain master, and the monks from the Fourteenth Peak, there are so many trump cards. How good and capable is the Yushitai of Liguo? How about going out and fighting with Mozhushan for a long time without even the support of Liqiu Palace and most of the clans?

The truth is quite simple. In the Central Plains and in the mountains of Nanman, the routines, methods and rules of doing things are completely different. You can't just copy the method of eliminating demons in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and apply it to the Twelve Kingdoms.

In the south, you can naturally kill monsters on sight, and you will feel relieved when you kill them all. But in the Central Plains and in the Twelve Kingdoms, you have to be reasonable.

Of course you don't care about being called a devil, you can live freely and run rampant with force, but if you have big fists, there will be people bigger than your fists. If your fists are hard, there will be people harder than your fists. You You are powerful and have more brothers than you.

The three major sects have been fighting for tens of thousands of years without a winner, and finally stopped fighting for hundreds of years. Who are you to dare to challenge everyone? Go to the South China Sea and eat Wushisan!

Therefore, no matter how high your cultivation level is, there are still many things that you cannot do, because once you cross the line, you may be beaten into a demonic way that everyone can punish. And whether you like it or not, the label of righteousness and evil is something that even the immortal cultivators in this world cannot avoid.

And demon slayers and defenders are the biggest, strongest, and most upright haters in this world. If you can't afford it, you have to abide by the rules.

The same is true for Mozhu Mountain.

Although Mozhushan is the hegemon in southern Xinjiang and has Li Guo in full control, it is still incomparable to the level of the three major sects in the world.

It was only through the management of several generations that Louguan Taoism and the Dharma Discs became famous all over the world. Once you act unscrupulously and kill innocent people indiscriminately, you will soon lose all the reputation you have accumulated over the years, and you will even be labeled as an evil heretic like the Luo Sect, the Black Lotus Sect, and Huang Tiandao, and will be attacked by the world's monks led by the three major sects. siege.

Forget about the old demon Qingyang, how powerful the Luo Sect was back then. Luo Zuyu transformed into an immortal, seven true disciples attained enlightenment, and forty-nine further disciples transformed into gods. The Black Lotus Sect was enough to overthrow a country. It is a subordinate organization, but what is the result now? The remnants of the Luo religion can only work as tailors on the border of the southern country. They have to bargain with Li Fan for a long time for a small sum of 50,000 yuan. Luo Zu will shed tears if he knows about it...

So this is the lowest level logic of Zhongyuan’s actions.

If you are not strong enough to challenge the three major sects, you must act according to the rules of the three major sects.

This is called adhering to the righteous path (of the three major schools).

"Stop the ship!!"

Here, the monks in Mozhu Mountain were still having a feast, but they didn't expect the fleet to be stopped.

Li Fan scanned his consciousness but did not find any strange movements of the monsters.

Liu Qing was also a little strange. He asked his Taoist friends to continue drinking, and he went to the side of the ship and looked down at the deck below.

"What happened?"

"Miss, the officers and soldiers are checking for illegal salt."

So Li Fan also poked his head to take a look, and saw that a dozen official ships with the name of "Lidongjiang Road Patrol Jiangwei" were approaching from both sides, and the hook lock captured Jiang Ji's large merchant ship.

The river patrol guards on the official ships were holding their bows and crossbows, and a man from a hundred households with a dozen or so soldiers climbed up the front deck with halberds on their backs and swords stuck in them.

"River Patrol Guards? Or from Dongjiang Road?" Liu Qing was puzzled for a moment, "How far away are we from the mountain? How did we meet the Jiang Patrol Guards? And why are they so bold now and dare to station themselves at the gate of Zhushan?"

Yu Bianjiao explained at the side, "You just came out of the customs and you don't know. In the past, Shanmen regularly went to the Li River to herd dragons. Naturally, no one patrolled the waterway to Dongjiang Mansion. These people were frightened by the dragon's power and were afraid of capsizing, so they didn't dare Come closer, but..."

But Senior Brother Lu died and Long was lost. The river patrol guards also came over to take advantage of...

"I see, I was negligent." Liu Qing understood, and thought for a while, "After all, these people are following the card all the way, which is also very troublesome. Give them some money to pass the time."

Li Fan was speechless for a while, watching the shopkeeper below bowing to the hundreds of households with a smiling face, and presented the cash box and silk. There's nothing you can do about it, since it's going to cost you a fortune. Are these officers and soldiers really allowed to unpack and check the goods slowly?

Could it be that the Mu Long incident would lead to so many subsequent consequences...

It seemed that these hundreds of households were just here to make money. They ordered the men to carry the money box and get off the boat with a wave of their hands.

Liu Qing frowned slightly and said with a smile, "It's okay. I'm disturbing everyone's enjoyment. Let's continue drinking."

However, it was not all right. After traveling for several miles, the boat was pulled to a stop again, and the hundreds of households actually came up again.

"Check the private information! And pay the transit tax!"

Not to mention Liu Qing, even the shopkeeper was a little confused, "Sir, wasn't it already..."

"Childish! You also ate yesterday, don't you want to eat today!" Baihu yelled and wanted to hit someone with the handle of the knife, but when he saw Liu Qing coming over with a snake-eyed look, he hurriedly used the knife again. Putting it back into his belt, "Well! You have left the boundaries of Zhushan County and are now in Lishui County! Pay taxes!"

Liu Qing squinted her eyes, but still nodded towards the shopkeeper. I paid another amount of money and went out.

She originally decided to take advantage of the water conservancy for a section of the river just to save some money on flying talisman paper, but she didn't expect that, let alone saving money, she had not seen the shadow of Changsi City yet, and she had already lost money by eating and drinking all the way through the passes. A deal was made.

Although there were many golden elixir monks on the boat watching, the soldiers patrolling the river did not show any respect at all and came forward aggressively to ask for money. I am not worried at all that these real cultivators from Mozhushan on the bridge will take action.

Because it is true that they will not take action. If Jiangji Trading Company wants to do business with Liguo, then the fleet will naturally have to abide by the national laws of Liguo and pay taxes and fees. This is a reasonable and legal matter.

Therefore, unless the patrolling guards smashed, looted, burned, and maliciously withheld goods, it would be difficult to take action against these soldiers and bandits.

Now they were so disturbed that they were no longer interested in drinking. Li Fan looked outside and found that the official ships were still following him. Is this a deliberate attempt to cause trouble?

Hey, people are here to cause trouble on purpose.

Less than three quarters of an hour later, he was stopped again. To be honest, those hundreds of households actually dared to climb up...

"Check for illegal liquor! There is also Dongping County ahead."

Not only did he dare to climb up, he also dared to ask for money...

"So what if you don't pay."

This time, before Liu Qing could say anything, Yu Hengzi came forward directly, flew over directly, and stepped on Baihu's fingers that had just been placed on the side of the ship.

But those hundreds of households also stiffened their necks and crawled there, shouting, "If you don't pay, you won't be allowed to pass! Even if you kill me! I will go to the underworld to sue you Mozhu Mountain for oppressing good people, preying on the common people, ignoring national laws, and abusing Kill Zhongliang! Sue all the way to Sanyuan. If you don’t believe me, I won’t sue you devils!”

So Li Fan understood that people came here deliberately to ask you how many bowls of noodles you had eaten.

Yu Hengzi's face flashed with green energy, he narrowed his eyes and glared at the hundred households, "No matter how strict the rules of the Immortal Palace are, they can't control a ship coming on the Li River from the south!"

Seeing that he was about to draw his sword and kill someone, Liu Qing blocked the monks who had gathered, and threw a money bag in his hand to the hundred households, saying, "Okay! We will just pay, but you go back and tell the people hiding on the official boat People can only do three things, let him come to fight with swords by himself again!"

The hundred households were so stubborn that they were hit on the shoulder by dozens of kilograms of copper coins. With a crack, their shoulders were dislocated, but they didn't say a word.

Yu Hengzi couldn't help but frown, moved his feet, and let the other party take the money and jump off the boat.

But if a person dies, can he still go to the underworld to file a complaint?

‘Xuantian Sword Intent, only those who have been granted the title of god can leave their souls. However, there are no ways to possess the souls, and what Sanyuan of the Immortal Palace explicitly prohibits is ‘without any reason, do not use immortal magic to kill mortals indiscriminately’.

As long as it's reasonable and well-founded, it's fine, and at most it doesn't require magic. ’

You are really a clever little guy...

Well, in fact, there is nothing the Golden Elixir cultivator can do to deal with mortals. Even if you count the people hiding behind them, Li Fan can kill them directly with his flying sword.

If you really want to be a demon, things will be much smoother for you. You can throw these soldiers into the river to feed the fish at any time. But if you choose the right path, you can only stand by and watch others try to manipulate you in different ways.

After all, what can restrain the behavior of monks is never the national law of Li Guo, let alone the swords of patrol guards, but the Taoist heart of the cultivators themselves.

This is why good people deserve to be pointed at guns.

After the hundred households went back for the third time, the people hiding behind received the warning, and as expected they no longer sent these hawks and dogs from the court to come forward to collect money.

They blocked the river directly.

Forty or fifty large ships and sterns brought almost all the warships of the Dongjiang Guards over, blocking the river in a chain.

So a group of Jindan monks gathered in front to prepare for any eventuality.

Liu Qing and Yu Hengzi went to the Jiangwei's flagship to inquire in person, and came back to convey the meaning of the Jiangwei commander.

The governor of Dongjiang Road ordered the river channel to be blocked and civilian ships were not allowed to enter or exit Dongjiang Mansion. Of course the immortals flying around couldn't be stopped, but the merchant ships were not allowed to pass.

"This is probably because they don't want merchants in Mozhu Mountain to do business. I'm afraid that not only the river in Dongjiang Prefecture is blocked, but also the Beijiang side." Qing Tingshu speculated.

Yu Hengzi narrowed his eyes and said, "I heard that the master of the temple promised that the matter would be over after Dr. Wen's military retreat, but it seems that the whole country has no intention of making peace with us."

Ding Suo didn't understand. "Since the waterway is blocked, let's just shut down the engine and fly to Changsi City. Wouldn't that be the end of it?"

"It's not whether it's possible, but whether it's necessary." Jiang Liuqing explained, "If Li Guo not only does not intend to ease the relationship, but also continues to cut off from Mozhushan and cut off trade exchanges with our faction, then I am afraid that these goods will not be shipped. When we get to Changsi City, no merchant will dare to take it away."

Qing Tingshou added, "It was Li Qiu Palace who took the initiative to ask for peace and ordered the death of the imperial censor. The leader of Li Kingdom should have no intention to continue fighting. Maybe this is just Dongjiang Road Governor Yu Shi doing his own thing, and there is no need to deliberately embarrass him. must."

Li Fan also remembered, "The Zhou Sheng who planned the sword fight was the former governor of Dongjiang Province. Maybe Dongjiang Mansion is the headquarters of their faction."

The brothers of the Yu family were shocked when they heard this, looked at each other and said, "Let's go to Dongjiang Mansion to find out. If it is the governor who is causing trouble, we will cut off his head."

Yu Hengzi shook his head repeatedly, "The battle in Changsi City has just eased. If you assassinate local officials, aren't you going to cause a big mess? You can't do it."

Qing Tingshou also smiled at Li Fan, "In my opinion, this end is not so easy to cut. Maybe there are other forces behind Dongjiang Dao, waiting for the opportunity to fan the flames and instigate Li Guo and Mo Zhushan to continue fighting. Going down."

Liu Qing frowned, "I don't care about the fight between forces. I'm here to do business. If this trip goes wrong, I'm afraid Jiang Ji won't be able to withstand it. It doesn't matter if we don't go to Dongjiang Road, but to Changsicheng If you don’t want to go, could you please ask a fellow Taoist to visit for me first. If there is really a risk, you can still go back to the mountain now."

Yu Hengzi nodded, "I'll go and report the things here to the master, and I'll be back in three to five days."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

The Yu brothers said, "Let's go to Dongjiang Mansion and see what happened. Then let the governor's head rest on his neck for a few days."

Qing Tingshou also said, "I am also with Yu Hengzi, working in pairs to take care of you. The two young men will stay to help you look after the boat."

So the four of them split up and fled away. Ding Suo and Li Fan were left to help Jiang Liuqing look after the fleet. Jiang Ji also stopped the boat and docked, waiting for news at the riverside ferry.

The monks in Mozhu Mountain had to abide by the righteous path, and accordingly Li Guo had to abide by the rules of the Twelve Kingdoms. In theory, the men patrolling the river were soldiers after all, and they would not blatantly rush over to rob merchant ships.

However, the hundreds of families patrolling the river intercepted them three times, apparently deliberately delaying their journey so that the Dongjiang Guards could gather the fleet to seal the river. But why Li Fan had to mobilize so many troops to stop them was unknown.

He was just ready for a sword fight at any time, took the sword case and held the talisman flag, and sat on the deck all night on guard.

Ding Suo was also an honest man. After listening to Li Fan's suggestion, he agreed to guard separately. One of them took the lead boat and the other patrolled the stern boat to guard against anyone plotting a sneak attack.

"Qingyue, this trip is really troublesome for you. I bought some midnight snacks in Murakami, and this portion is yours."

In the evening, Liu Qing carried a food box and brought three fresh wontons to Li Fan.

"Senior Sister, you've worked hard, I won't get in the way." In order to avoid too much loss, Senior Sister Liu Qing stopped the boat and went to the nearby fishing village and county town to trade. Directing the Jiang family business to hold a market outside the village, it is really hard to pay less if you can.

"I wanted to take you to meet some friends along the way, but I didn't expect you to sit here alone," Jiang Liuqing smiled bitterly, "My old friends also have bad tempers and make you laugh. I'll go there when I get back. The Fourteenth Peak is looking for disciples from the younger generation to get to know you."

"Thank you, senior sister, for thinking about me." In fact, Li Fan didn't care. Making friends with Taoists was just a matter of chance. There was no need to force some people if they couldn't get along with each other.

Moreover, Li Fan could also see that these monks, including Jiang Liuqing, were still a little wary of him and were not willing to talk to each other. Maybe they just met and their friendship is still shallow. This is not a bad thing, at least it means that they are not greedy for his body...

"Eat it while it's hot. I'll go see how Fellow Daoist Ding is doing." Liu Qing picked up the food box and jumped to the other end of the fleet.

Kun immediately got out of his sleeves and looked at the wontons.

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you."

So Li Fan casually scooped up wontons with a spoon and fed them to Kun. Unexpectedly, Kun stopped eating after three.

‘Kun, it tastes wrong. ’

What? What's wrong? Did you add leeks?

Then Li Fan felt a chill coming from his back, piercing the top of his skull. He was so startled that he jumped up in the air like a cat, threw his hand and threw the dog Frisbee behind him.

At the same moment, a figure with an unclear face stood up from Li Fan's shadow. Instead of catching the Frisbee, he turned his right arm into a sword and stabbed Li Fan's vest. !

This blow almost caused the figure to rush forward and insert the knife. Although Li Fan reacted immediately, he couldn't avoid it at all. He clearly felt that his ribs were stabbed hard in the back, and the ribs were painful from the impact. It was warm, and blood flowed all over the body, and it actually blocked a fatal disaster and was broken by Tao Yi! If Li Fan hadn't been wearing Taoist robes, I'm afraid this blow would have penetrated him!

But after this blow, the figure suddenly disappeared on the ground. It was completely impossible to tell that the shadow on the ground wanted to assassinate him!

"Fuck! What the hell kind of trick is this!"

‘Xuan Tian Sword Intention, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Someone has cursed you to kill. Kun, what’s in the wontons? ’

Kun took the dog Frisbee back and pulled out a roll of black hair tied with talisman paper. It looked like a small bunch of hair...

What! Is this in wontons?

Li Fan was shocked and angry, what the hell! Is it Liu Qing?

‘Xuantian Sword Intent, why does she want you to go away? This is the perfect time to make a last hit. ’

Li Fan was stunned and immediately reacted. He slapped the invisibility charm, unsheathed his flying sword, and flew straight towards the other end of the fleet. Sure enough, he saw at a glance that Ding Suo had been stabbed at the other end of the fleet. Lying on the ground, there was blood all over his body.

Liu Qing was holding two swords and protecting Ding Suo, but was surrounded by four masked assassins in black!
