Chapter 434: I am studying under Taoist Master Yunzhi
Zhou Mu’s house is located in the center of Hanshui City. It is the intersection of power in Huangzhou. There are seven entrances and seven exits to the house, and there are protective formations inside and outside.
This is both Zhou Mu's residence and office. While walking through the house, Lu Yang saw many officials looking in a hurry, taking off and landing with documents in their hands, very busy.
This is not about walking as fast as flying, but about actually being able to fly.
Before meeting Huangzhou Mu, Mr. An had already informed Zhou Mu of the information. As soon as Zhou Mu saw Qiu Jinan and others, he warmly welcomed and shook hands with them.
Mr. An also needs to start arranging the city-wide search for Lord Meng Tianzhen, so he must retire first.
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, I have long admired your name! My surname is Lu, and my single name is Ke. People call me Lao Lu." Lu Zhoumu is a talkative person. Although the recent ghost disaster has kept him busy, he is still in high spirits and not tired.
“I’ve met Mr. Lu.” Qiu Jinan smiled and did not call him Lao Lu.
The last person who was so familiar with him was the Nine Masters of the Taoist Sect, and he was deeply impressed.
Qiu Jinan's father was the leader of the Five Elements Sect of the previous generation. When he was young, he accompanied his father to visit the Taoist Sect, where he met the nine enthusiastic Taoist sects.
At that time, he was young, ignorant, and ill-informed. He did not realize that all the nine Taoist disciples were full of bad ideas. The sixth elder, Feng Ya, was the only exception. She was out of place among the nine Taoist disciples, but she was indispensable every time he did bad things.
So he was wary of people he knew well.
"You said that the previous state pastor had nothing to do but throw a birthday party for his daughter. He even invited a lot of people. He just invited people. He also brought a lot of gifts and didn't report to the court in advance. Now, okay? He was dismissed and went in, along with several officials in charge and several important sect figures in Huangzhou." Lu Zhou Mu complained.
This is also one of the reasons why we are so busy right now. There is a shortage of manpower, key positions are temporarily replaced, and scheduling is difficult. Even ghost troubles have to rely on the help of the nearest corpse exorcism sect.
"Old Xu, who has been on leave for a long time, and even the Minister of Punishment, has finally had enough rest and is dealing with them."
The Minister of Punishment announced that his old friend had died suddenly and that he would take leave to see him one last time.
“As a result, His Majesty did not trust the officials of Huangzhou, so he dragged me, a person in charge of money and food, to take over. As a result, I had to leave the imperial city and rush to Huangzhou.”
“By the way, I’m the only one talking. I haven’t had time to ask, who are these young people?” Lu Zhoumu came to his senses and noticed Lu Yang and the others.
"These three are disciples of the Taoist Sect and are considered my juniors. I help look after them. This is Zhao Po, a disciple of the great elder of the Corpse Exorcist Sect. He also witnessed the entire battle just now."
Once he heard that Lu Zhoumu was an official of the imperial capital, Qiu Jinan did not say that Lu Yang was a disciple of Taoist Buyu.
"They have solid foundations and full golden elixirs. They are all outstanding young people." Lu Zhoumu nodded and praised them, "Please also ask Fellow Daoist Qiu to talk about the battle just now."
This is the most important thing right now.
Qiu Jinan described in detail the process of Lu Yang's encounter with Huang Ming, his victory over Huang Ming, Lord Meng Tianzhen's action, and his own account of the defeat of Lord Meng Tianzhen.
“So, Lord Meng Tiantian went to catch evil ghosts from various places and threw them into our Hanshui City?” Lu Zhoumu was furious and finally found the culprit of today’s busy schedule.
No wonder there are so many evil ghosts. I’m afraid they’ve caught all the ghosts in Daxia, and even the ghosts in the East China Sea have not been spared!
It's a **** thing if this can be dealt with cleanly!
“The ghost trouble in Hanshui City cannot be solved by one person. I suspect he has accomplices.” Qiu Jinan said.
“There is also Huang Ming who has re-cultivated San Gong. We should also pay attention to it. In the past, we only focused on the ancient monks in the integration period and ignored the possibility that some of them could re-cultivate San Gong!”
Lu Zhoumu sighed: "It's useless to notice. The re-cultivation of San Gong is like a new life. It's hard to find their roots." "That's all. I will report to the court about the re-cultivation of San Gong afterwards. The top priority now is to deal with the ghost problem."
"Before, I thought that the ghost trouble was caused by the Jiuyou Sect. After all, the Jiuyou Sect has many ghosts. Now it is definitely caused by the Dayu monks. The matter is serious. The Dayu monks did not raise ghosts. They spent all their efforts to create ghosts. Capturing evil ghosts from various places and throwing them into Hanshui City must be more than just causing trouble, there must be other purposes!"
Lu Zhoumu’s face was gloomy, and he wished he could tear these Dayu monks into pieces.
“Excuse me, is it possible that we are setting up a formation?” Lu Yang raised his hand and asked cautiously.
“Formation?” Lu Zhoumu and Qiu Jinan were both stunned, chewing on these two words, as if they had thought of something.
When Lu Yang was in Yanjiang County, the Yanjiang helmsman at that time was also serving as the county guard, so he deployed formations throughout the county, hoping to absorb the longevity of the entire county and increase his strength.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang asked this question.
"It is indeed possible that they are setting up a formation!" Lu Zhoumu slapped his thigh. He had been so busy these days that he never thought of this.
He came to a huge sand table, clapped his hands gently, and the gravel trembled, rising and falling like sand waves, and finally took shape and turned into the appearance of Hanshui City.
He took out a handful of small flags from his arms and threw them on the sand table. The place where the small flag landed was the place where ghosts would cause disaster.
The type and level of the ghost are also marked above each small flag.
“Hiss, looking at it this way, it does look a bit like a formation.” Lu Zhoumu was overjoyed when he saw that Lu Yang’s guess was probably the answer.
“As expected of a disciple of the Taoist sect, famous teachers produce great disciples. I wonder who my little friend studied under in the Taoist sect?”
Lu Yang: “…”
Before telling the truth, Lu Yang wanted to know how much hatred Lu Zhoumu had against his master.
“I am studying under Yunzhi, the Taoist sect.”
Lu Yang respected his master and did not dare to mention his master's name when he was away from home.
Meng Jingzhou looked at Lu Yang with contempt, how shameless.
"Yunzhi? This name sounds familiar." Lu Zhoumu thought for a while, but he had never heard of anyone named Yunzhi among the elders of the Taoist Sect.
“Master, she rarely leaves the sect, and few people in the world know about her.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Lu Zhoumu did not recall who Yunzhi was. Neither he nor Qiu Jinan was good at formations. He ordered his men to invite the formation masters in the city to study what formations Monk Dayu had deployed in the city.
Several old men with gray beards were soon invited over to stand by the sand table to observe and deduce.
Fortunately, these formation masters are all male cultivators.
Several formation masters joined forces and quickly came to preliminary conclusions. After listening to the preliminary conclusions of these formation masters, Lu Zhoumu said to Qiu Jinan, his expression more relaxed than when they first met: "Little friend Lu's guess is right. Brother Yu is indeed setting up a formation, but he is setting up a lost formation. It will take a while to figure out the effect and method of breaking it, so you and I will wait for a moment."
Seeing that the opportunity was just right, Qiu Jinan raised his hands and said, "Since I have some free time, Master Zhou Mu, can you let me and this boy use the power of national destiny together?"
