Chapter 122 Goose Tail

It turned out that many Qingluan Guards had already mixed in with the common people, and they all pulled out their "thin tiger knives" or "long sheep knives" and pressed towards the straw platform.

In addition, there were many constables from the Yamen of the Judicial Inspection Commission, holding things like iron rulers and iron chains.

However, these people were all acquired people, not congenital people.

The biggest advantage of acquired people is that they are easy to hide. No matter whether it is the art of looking at qi or the perception of divine thoughts, it is difficult to distinguish them from ordinary people. On the contrary, congenital people have some "strange phenomena" that are difficult to see with the naked eye, which will appear very eye-catching. This is why the woman can see Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu at a glance.

It was because of her "clear eyes" that the woman could repeatedly escape the pursuit of Qingluan Guards, but she didn't expect that Qingluan Guards had also learned to be smart, sending out only acquired people's strong men, lieutenants, and constables to disguise themselves and hide in the crowd. Unless their identities can be judged by their external appearance like Qi Xuansu, it is difficult to be discovered.

The woman was not panicked. With a wave of her hand, the dancers and musicians turned into small paper figures, and then she put them all into her sleeves. This was not much different from the yellow turban warriors that Lingquanzi had used before, but the yellow turban warriors were specially used for fighting, while the small paper figures used by the woman had no fighting power at all.

Qi Xuansu was quite surprised to see this scene. He had not been able to find any flaws before.

But this is not surprising. The essence of magic is to make the false become true. In terms of magic, it is not difficult to let ordinary people see the heavenly soldiers and generals transformed from paper figures. Guizhen Taoist priests can do it, but it is definitely not suitable for use when two armies are facing each other, because the evil spirits of swords and soldiers and the blood of warriors can interfere with magic the most, so few Taoist priests and witches participate in the battle on the battlefield, which is the domain of warriors.

The evil spirits are best at using magic to create illusions to harm people and make people scare themselves to death, but if at the last moment, people can burst out a bloody and brave spirit, like the blood of warriors, they can interfere with and break the illusion. In the eyes of the parties involved, when they forget about life and death and are no longer afraid, the evil spirits and various terrifying scenes suddenly disappear.

However, if you can successfully deceive people and make them believe, the more people believe, the more real the magic will appear. As the saying goes, believe it, the superficial magic is actually a trick. If you believe it, the idea of ​​belief will be added to the magic, which will make the magic more and more real. On the contrary, if you don't believe it, the magic will be exposed.

This is also the reason why many liars who only know some magic can operate in a place for a long time, because there are many believers, which greatly bless his magic, making the magic more and more real, and the more realistic magic makes more and more believers, like a snowball, the snowball rolls bigger and bigger. But once it is exposed, you can only go far away, because people here don't believe it, and the magic will become more and more false.

The people who watched before preconceived that these dancers were real people. Under the blessing of the idea of ​​believing it, these dancers became more and more realistic, and even Qi Xuansu was deceived.

In fact, this principle can be applied to many aspects. For example, the famous Xumi object is essentially a micro space made of magic and special materials. It can accommodate dead objects, but not living things, because the blood and qi will disrupt the normal operation of the magic. If you rashly put in a living thing, either the living thing will die on the spot, or the Xumi object will be completely destroyed. Only one of the two can survive.

As for the legendary cave, it is already the prototype of opening up another world. It is a great magical power that only immortals have. It has truly completed the whole process of making the false true. Only "real" is left, and there is no "false" at all, so living people can also enter it.

After the woman put away the paper man, she took out another talisman, and the whole person immediately became as light as a feather, floating and swaying upwards.

This is the "Flying Feather Talisman" of the alchemist, which can indeed make people fly off the ground, but compared with the flying and hiding of the heavenly people, the speed is extremely slow, and it cannot be used to fight in the air, and the limitations are quite large.

Seeing this scene, the Qingluan Guards and the constables on the ground could only stop.

At this time, many Qingluan Guards appeared on the roofs around, holding long guns in their hands, aiming at the woman who was slowly rising, and fired one after another.

The whistling bullets intertwined into an invisible net.

In a blink of an eye, the woman was shot in many places, but there was no blood flowing, but her red clothes were torn, revealing her slender waist and slender thighs.

Qi Xuansu, who was looking up, heard Zhang Yuelu say, "Don't look."

Qi Xuansu had to retract his gaze, and suddenly realized something. When he looked at those dancers before, Zhang Yuelu didn't react much. Most likely, he had already seen that those dancers were not living people, so he didn't care much. Now that they were changed to living people, he was not happy.

Qi Xuansu whispered, "You are really nosy."

"What did you say?" Zhang Yuelu asked loudly.

Qi Xuansu said, "I said, you have already seen that those dancers are not alive?"

Zhang Yuelu said, "I didn't see their true appearance, but when I used the 'immortal's aura-observing technique' to look at these dancers, I found that they did not have the aura of living people, so I guessed that they were not alive, so I asked you to try."

Qi Xuansu was a little depressed. It turned out that Zhang Yuelu had already known that there was no romantic encounter, so she said "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child." This girl is not stupid, and she never makes a fuss about such things.

In fact, Qi Xuansu still has little experience. If Qiniang were here, she could see that Zhang Yuelu had a somewhat big girl mentality, afraid that he would not come and that he would mess up. Taking a specific example, she just didn't want Qi Xuansu to see other women, but Qi Xuansu really wanted to keep looking at her, and she was embarrassed.

While the two were talking, the woman was getting higher and higher, and when she reached the highest point, a cloud of smoke exploded, covering her figure. When the smoke dissipated, she was gone.

It's not that there aren't heavenly beings in Jinguan Mansion, it's just that heavenly beings won't take action personally for such trivial matters.

Several Qingluan guards jumped down from the second floor of a restaurant facing the street in the distance, swearing, or holding long guns or telescopes.

At this time, all the real people had fled. Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu stood out, and the Qingluan guards immediately surrounded them.

Zhang Yuelu gave his ultimatum to Qi Xuansu again.

Qi Xuansu presented the ultimatum to one of the leading test households.

The test hundred households took the ultimatum doubtfully and looked over it over and over again, as if they didn't believe it.

The rest of the Qingluan Guards also looked at the two of them with eager eyes. Judging from their posture, they seemed to regard them as liars pretending to be Taoist masters.

Zhang Yuelu became a little impatient, and took out his Tiangang Hall token again, and threw it into the hands of the trial member: "The ceremonial certificate can be counterfeited, but this token cannot be counterfeited, right?"

The fish talisman system of Qingpinghui is modeled after the token system of Taoist sect. Since the fish talismans of Qingpinghui are designed as small Xumi objects, the tokens of Taoist sect are naturally more impressive. Zhang Yuelu's token is made of fine gold, a specialty of Kunlun Cave. It is not damaged by fire, gold cannot be chopped, and true energy cannot damage it at all. Moreover, this kind of token is not common, and every detail at the entrance of the hall cannot be damaged. They are all different, and more difficult to imitate than the 瓓瓒.

When the trial household saw the token, they were surprised. After a little confirmation, they hurriedly handed the ultimatum and the token back to Zhang Yuelu with both hands: "To be honest with you, Master, someone has been cheating in the city recently. This group of people cheated last time." When we were young, we forged the ultimatum of a fifth-grade Taoist priest. We also had some enemies, so we asked the Master to forgive us."

Zhang Yuelu took the ultimatum and the token, frowned and said, "If a liar dares to forge the ultimatum of a fifth-grade Taoist priest, won't the local Taoist government care?"

The tester smiled bitterly, but did not dare to answer hastily.

After all, he is just a small trial household. Who knows what the relationship between this mage and the mages of the Shuzhou Taoist Prefecture is. If his random talk reaches the ears of the mages of the local Taoist Prefecture, then he will not be able to take advantage of it. Walk along.

Zhang Yuelu also understood the key, it was nothing more than inaction, so he waved his hand: "I understand."

Shi Baihu led the Qingluan Guards and the police officers to evacuate the place, leaving only the messy ground and the empty grass terrace.

Zhang Yuelu whispered to Qi Xuansu: "Don't rush to Huasheng Hall now, let's go after the woman just now."

"How to chase?" Qi Xuansu asked directly.

Zhang Yuelu took out the "photographic paper" and saw that the "photographic paper" had turned into a paper crane and seemed to be alive, spreading its wings and ready to fly. Then I heard Zhang Yuelu say: "Just now I put another paper crane on the woman's body, so that I can find her traces."

Qi Xuansu recalled briefly and immediately said: "You released the paper crane when you told me not to look at it?"

Zhang Yuelu glanced at Qi Xuansu in surprise and praised: "Smart."

Qi Xuansu waved his hand: "Lead the way."

Zhang Yuelu rolled his eyes at him and let go of the paper crane in his hand. There was a connection between the two paper cranes. The paper crane immediately fluttered its wings, circled in the air a few times, and then flew towards the southwest.

The two followed closely behind, and as they walked, they found that the location was becoming more and more remote, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians, and the surrounding buildings were becoming cramped.

At the end, it is said to be a street, but in fact it is only slightly wider than an alley. There are no smooth bluestone streets. There are many potholes on the ground and sewage everywhere. Many low shacks have been built haphazardly on both sides of the street, almost to the point where the eaves touch the eaves. The light is dim and there are various smells mixed together, which makes Zhang Yuelu like this. The woman who had lived in Yujing for a long time couldn't help frowning and covering her nose with her hands.

Qi Xuansu could barely get used to it. It was said that it was easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it was difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After living in Yujing for a few months, he was no longer accustomed to this kind of place.

Otherwise speaking, the mountains and the mountains are actually two worlds. On one side, the people from the Taoist sect are like dragons on the clouds, and on the other side, the ordinary people are still like grass in the mud.

In other words, this world is somewhat fragmented. On the one hand, the flying boats of the Taoist sect travel in the nine heavens, and the imperial armored ships travel across the four seas. But on the other hand, cattle are still valuable assets, and travel is still dependent on horses.

There are people with guns and artillery, and there are people with archers and cavalry.

The alternation between the new and the old has just begun.
