Chapter 152: The Governor of the Year
The crowd continued on their way, and the tower drew closer and closer.
However, there is also an arch bridge between the tower and the downtown area. Before coming to the arch bridge, I heard a gong sound, and then I saw an eight-carried sedan chair silently coming from the bridge, and walking in front was a person dressed as a servant, with a square hat and soap boots, and a gong in his hand, which was to open the way for the gong. When the county officials go out, they sound the gong and play it three or seven times, which is called the three-stick gong and the seven-stick gong, which means "quick avoidance" and "military and civilian people avoid". The prefect went out and sounded the gong and played the nine-stick gong, which means "the officials, the army and the people are all avoided". When the governor of a state comes out, he has to play eleven gongs, which means that "civil and military officials, military and civilians, etc. are all avoided". And the governor-level feudal officials traveled, because they were superb, and played thirteen gongs, which means "civil and military officials, officials, military and civilians, etc. This man struck thirteen gongs in a row, and it turned out to be the treatment of the governor.
He was followed by eight servants, holding "avoidance" cards, "quiet" cards, official rank cards, iron chains, wooden sticks, black sheath whips, gourds, and tail guns. On both sides of the palanquin, there are guards, dressed in armor, holding spears, and there are bright red tassels on the helmets and spears, and the sound is huge.
Not surprisingly, this group of people is also not alive, the sedan chair bearers are all paper dummies, and the officials and guards are blank and have dull eyes.
Li Xuandu stopped and stood with his sword.
The group also stopped, and the gong servant at the head said, "Bold! Why don't you give way, Lord Governor?"
This was Li Xuandu's slight surprise, because along the way, except for those people in the witch cult, this ghost thing in the city never talked to them, and this was the first "person" to speak.
Since this is the case, Li Xuandu did not rush to make a move, and asked, "I don't know which ministry is coming?"
The official cleared his throat and said, "Wait and listen, my lord is the secretary of the military department and the imperial history of the right capital, the governor of Qinzhou, Zhongzhou and other places, supervising military affairs, food and salary, managing rivers, and governors. ”
Li Xuandu was slightly stunned. The list of names, though long, can be summed up in two words: "Governor". The governor was a feudal official, and in his early years, he had a non-official position, which was set up for the sake of the matter, and he was removed when the matter was completed. By now, it has become a permanent official position, ruling over one or several states, and those who serve as governors often add the official title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War or Imperial History of the Metropolitan Government.
The so-called governor Qinzhou, Zhongzhou and other places, indicating that this governor is the governor of Qinzhong, since Emperor Muzong, the imperial court has only two governors of Qinzhong, namely Qi Ying and Qin Xiang, after the fall of Qinzhou, the governor of Qinzhong has been vacant for a long time, which is equivalent to being abolished.
Qin Xiang is now leading the army in Liaodong, of course, it is impossible to appear here, and Qi Ying died at the hands of the earth master, but he doesn't know where another Qin Zhongzong came out
Supervise.
Li Xuandu said: "I have never heard of any governor of Qinzhong, I'm afraid it's not an impostor." ”
The official was furious when he heard this, his expression turned from Mu Ran to hideous, and he pointed at Li Xuandu with the small hammer used to strike the gong in his hand: "Come on, take down this bold fanattic!"
The soldiers behind him responded and attacked Li Xuandu together.
Li Xuandu stabbed a few swords at will, and then repelled these soldiers. Then he struck the official who struck the gong. At this moment, the two officials behind the gong suddenly jumped out, one holding the "avoidance" token, and the other holding the "quiet" token, one left and one right called Li Xuandu.
Li Xuandu picked up the "avoidance" token with a backhand sword, and slapped it out with another palm, striking at the "Silence" token, and directly shattered the official with just one palm.
This incident, the remaining six officials also moved together, plus the soldiers who were forced to retreat by Li Xuandu before, surrounded Li Xuandu and attacked from all directions.
These servants are powerful ghosts who can turn into entities, comparable to the masters of the innate realm, with the bonuses of yin qi time, the location of the ghost country, and the ghosts, their strength has skyrocketed, and they have broken through to the second and third floors of the Returning Truth Realm.
However, Li Xuandu is already an immeasurable realm of heaven and man, and it is not difficult to deal with it, to attack instead of defending, where the sword qi passes, there must be a ghost thing to turn into green smoke, even if they can still take advantage of the thick yin qi of this place and the special environment of the ghost country to continue to be reborn, but Li Xuandu killed faster, and in the time of half a pillar of incense, those servants have all died, and the ghosts who beat the gong and several soldiers retreated to the side and cowered, leaving only the big sedan chair carried by eight paper men still occupying the middle of the road.
Li Xuandu raised the "world" in his hand, slowly moved forward, came to the front of the sedan chair, and raised the sedan curtain with the tip of his sword, only to see that there was a big man dressed in the official uniform of the imperial court sitting in it, his legs were spread outward, his hands were placed on his knees, he was closing his eyes to recuperate, and then looking at his face, the iron was blue, there was no blood, and the two eye sockets were even darker, obviously not a living person, but like a zombie, revealing a luster as hard as gold and iron.
Just after Li Xuandu lifted the sedan curtain, this person opened his eyes suddenly, and two breathtaking rays of light shot out of his eyes, approaching Li Xuandu.
Almost at the same time, the long sword in Li Xuandu's hand also unceremoniously stabbed this person in the chest.
This person stretched out his hand to hold the "human world", and the blade of the sword and the palm of his hand rubbed into a sound of gold and stone, and sparks flew everywhere. Li Xuandu frowned slightly, a little surprised that this person's shooting speed could keep up with his sword speed, but he was not too afraid, after reaching the immeasurable realm, his qi became more and more powerful, and he didn't have to win by ingenuity in everything, he could
Suppressing people, at this time, he just urged the five major Xuangong, and forcibly shook the palm of this person, and at the same time smashed the big sedan chair carried by eight people along with the eight paper sedan chair drivers.
The "man" still maintained an upright posture, and after looking down at his palm, he slowly stood up and slowly spoke: "Who is here?"
Li Xuandu drifted back into battle, and at this time, Qin Buyi, Xiao Shiyu, and Shen Yuanzhong also came to Li Xuandu's side, Li Xuandu was young, but these three people were all older, especially Qin Buyi, who was a peer of Wanshou Zhenren. After these three people saw this "person", they were shocked at the same time, and said in unison: "Qi Ying!"
Li Xuan has never seen Qi Ying, but he has heard of Qi Ying's deeds, he once apprenticed to Shenxiao Sect, and studied in Vientiane Xue Palace, born in the Ming Yong Dynasty, Ming Yong 22 years, in the 22nd year of Ming Yong, he was appointed as the governor of Qinzhong, and negotiated peace with the Golden Horde. By the time of Wude, Qi Ying was already the pillar of the country that supported half of the country. When the army of the Golden Horde attacked Qinzhou, the earth master Xu Wugui plotted against Qi Ying with a "ghost curse", so that his body was corrupted. This is why Qin Xiang later served as the governor of Qinzhong to recover Xijing, Qinzhou, and Liangzhou.
How could such a person, who had been dead for many years, appear here?
Xiao Shiyu said: "People can't be resurrected after death, this is the reason of the Emperor of Heaven, and the earth immortals can't disobey it." Even the likes of Yin Soul and Living Corpse are just borrowing an empty shell, and they have nothing to do with their lives for a long time. Could it be that the Soap Pavilion Sect exhumed Qi Ying's corpse and refined his corpse into a living corpse?"
Shen Yuan said: "It's not that there is no such possibility, over the years, the old Tibetan old man has been stealing and excavating the relics of the remains of senior monks and arresting the disciples of various sects, and it is not impossible to add this one at this time." ”
Mentioning this, Xiao Shiyu's face sank, several disciples of the Xuannu Sect were poisoned by the old man of Tibet, and this crusade against Beibi Mountain, she also had the intention of revenge.
After Li Xuandu heard this, he remembered a past incident, last year because of the Taiyin corpse, he encountered Hong Chengqiu, the owner of the Houqing altar of the Soap Pavilion Sect in Beimang County, and the two had a fight, Hong Chengqiu used the "Wuji Gun", at that time, Li Xuandu was still wondering, why the people in the Soap Pavilion Sect would use Qi Ying's unique mastery, and now it seems that not to mention Qi Ying's mastery, it is Qi Ying himself, and he has not escaped the poisonous hand of the Soap Pavilion Sect.
Qi Ying glanced at everyone and sneered: "The little thief dares to come and block the road of this governor." ”
Xiao Shiyu frowned slightly: "I had dealt with Qi Ying back then, and he never spoke in such a tone. ”
Qin Buyi sighed: "The person in front of him only has Qi Ying's appearance and part of his memory, and he is no longer Qi Ying back then." ”
