Chapter 65: Isolating the Inside and the Outside

Bai Yingqiong sat behind the desk, supporting her forehead with her hand, not hiding her tiredness.

Last night, there was a fire in Zhenwu Temple. She had to command the firefighting and calm the situation. She also had to think about giving an explanation to her superiors, at least to clear herself. Then, her master, Cihang Zhenren, who was far away in Yujing, sent her a message, telling her about the Zhiming Sect, and asked her to discuss countermeasures with Zhang Yuelu. She had a bit of luck, but after contacting Zhang Yuelu, she learned that the Shuitang workshop had been lost and there were a lot of so-called "gifts", so she knew that the disaster had come.

This was the disaster of Jinling Prefecture, and also the disaster of her and Jiangnan Daofu. If it was not handled properly, it would be a disaster. If it went further, she would be thankful that she was not escorted to Yujing.

It was related to her own future, and she could not afford to be careless at all. So she did not sleep all night, busy discussing countermeasures with Zhang Yuelu, and contacting various government offices to coordinate and coordinate. Jiangnan Daofu had been peaceful for a long time, but it was hit by a series of drastic changes. The people above and below were not able to deal with the situation properly, and she had to personally take care of it. Unfortunately, the head of the mansion and several deputy hall masters had not returned, so she, the chief deputy mansion master, had to make decisions on all matters. She was exhausted by the big and small things, and it was like a life-and-death battle. Even though she was already a celestial being, she still felt exhausted.

Fortunately, Pei Xiaolou came back around the time of the Ox, and was able to share some of the burden for her. Pei Xiaolou took over the follow-up matters of Zhenwu Temple.

At this moment, Zhang Yuelu was still at the Shuitang workshop, leading the people of Tiangang Hall to clean up a large number of "gifts" inside the Shuitang workshop.

But there was no sign of Lei Xiaohuan and Li Tianlan.

Lei Xiaohuan was fine. It wasn't that she didn't want to come back, but most likely she couldn't come back.

But Li Tianlan was very free, hiding behind the scenes and turning the tide.

Bai Yingqiong could not help but feel a little angry. At this time, should they still put party disputes above state affairs?

But she could do nothing about it.

At this time, in a separate room in the Shuitang workshop, Qi Xuansu sat down obediently, with his sleeves rolled up high, revealing his bare arms. He saw that the veins on his arms were bulging, like tiny green dragons. This was because he used too much force and injured his inner body. It was not a pure flesh wound. Even the flesh and blood of a warrior could not heal quickly.

Zhang Yuelu took a gourd of Huashengtang's thick medicine liquid in his hand, dissolved it with clear water, first poured a little on Qi Xuansu's arm, and then used a handkerchief dipped in the medicine to gently wipe Qi Xuansu back and forth.

After repeating this several times, the bulging blue veins were not as swollen as before. Qi Xuansu tried to clench his fist. Except for the broken hand that had just been connected, he could exert force normally.

Zhang Yuelu poured out the last bit of the potion, wiped it with his hand, and patted Qi Xuansu's arm: "It's done."

Qi Xuansu carefully observed the blue veins on his arm, and was a little happy like a child: "You know what, it really works."

"Of course." Zhang Yuelu put down his sleeves for him and smoothed out the wrinkles.

Speaking of which, "Taiyi Yunyi" was also entrusted to the wrong person. Among all the masters in history, Qi Xuansu was the least particular one.

However, Qi Xuansu was able to forcibly close the main water gate by himself, and even Xu Lingguan was surprised and looked at him with admiration. Speaking of which, he was also injured on duty.

At this time, a cheer came from outside. Then, Mu Jin pushed the door open and came in, not hiding her joy: "Deputy Hall Master, Xu Lingguan has captured and killed the big black fish."

The big black fish was the strange fish that attacked Qi Xuansu when he closed the sluice gate. After the Tiangang Hall arrived, they began to deal with the strange fish in the major reservoirs, sedimentation tanks, filtration tanks, and disinfection tanks according to Zhang Yuelu's command. Xu Lingguan was personally responsible for the big black fish.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu also led a team to clean up everywhere at the beginning. Later, Qi Xuansu felt something was wrong. It was probably because of overdrawing his strength. The soreness of his arms was secondary. The key was that he couldn't use his strength. It should be hurt inside.

Zhang Yuelu led Qi Xuansu to apply medicine, which was a moment of leisure in the busy schedule.

After Mu Jin, the big lantern, came in, the short time of solitude came to an end.

Zhang Yuelu twisted the gourd and walked out.

Mu Jin glanced at Qi Xuansu, not hiding her jealousy, and followed Zhang Yuelu closely.

After all, the "gift" of Zhiming Sect is of the same origin as Huasheng Hall. Although Zhiming Sect will launch different "gifts" every time, after the Dao Sect intercepts these "gifts", they will send samples to Huasheng Hall. Generally speaking, Huasheng Hall can quickly crack and develop the corresponding "antidote", which is also one of the functions of the Huasheng Hall branches established in various places.

This time is no exception. In addition to violent removal, Tiangang Hall is also responsible for collecting samples and sending them to the Huasheng Hall branch in Jinling Prefecture.

Qi Xuansu got up and left this place and came outside.

This place is not far from the main sluice and reservoir. What comes into view is a huge fish corpse, which has obviously died in the hands of Xu Lingguan.

Qi Xuansu walked to the side of the two people, and heard Zhang Yuelu say: "Xu Lingguan, you said that when you dived underwater, you found that the water escape in the five elements escape technique had failed. I just tried it, the earth's energy was chaotic, and the earth escape became dangerous. If the escape technique fails halfway, you may be buried alive underground. The remaining fire escape, gold escape, and wood escape are mostly unreliable."

"From the small to the big, if the Five Elements Escape Technique fails, it means that the Five Elements are disordered, the earth's energy is out of control, and then the yin and yang are reversed. If the internal and external energy are isolated, I am afraid that the "Xun Fu Array" or the mother-child talisman will be disconnected, and Jinling Prefecture will become an isolated city, unable to contact Yujing, or even other prefectures and counties around it. The situation is very unpredictable."

"If you come with bad intentions, good people will not come. The Zhiming Sect came prepared this time, and it is definitely not as simple as spreading curses." Xu Lingguan was also worried.

Zhang Yuelu clenched his right fist and tapped the palm of his left hand gently: "This is reasonable. Last year, the Taoist sect and the Shamanism went to war and cut off all communications at the first time. I have to say that sometimes the simplest is the most reliable. Xu Lingguan." "Here." Xu Lingguan replied in a deep voice.

Zhang Yuelu said: "You should prepare yourself. If it really comes to that, you should leave Jinling Prefecture and go to Jiangning Prefecture or Qiantang Prefecture. There are also 'Xun Fu Arrays' in the Taoist temples there. It is impossible for the whole Jiangnan to be isolated."

"Then...what about the deputy hall master?" Xu Lingguan hesitated. After all, he was assigned by Cihang Zhenren to protect Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu said decisively: "This is a different time. I have already become a celestial being and have semi-immortal objects. Even if I can't win, it is not difficult to protect myself. But looking at the current situation, it may not be so easy to leave the city. Except for me and a few Zhenren, you are the only one who is sure to get out. If it is someone else, it will be more dangerous than good. Let's talk about morality and justice. Compared with a million lives in Jinling Prefecture and Zhang Yuelu, which one is more important?"

Xu Lingguan heard this and nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Zhang Yuelu waved his hand: "Everyone should do his job."

Everyone accepted the order.

Only Qi Xuansu was still standing there.

He was the chief Taoist priest of Ziwei Hall. There was no duty for him in Tiangang Hall, so Zhang Yuelu had to arrange it specially.

Zhang Yuelu glanced at him and smiled, "Just follow me."

Qi Xuansu had nothing to be unhappy about.

In terms of realm cultivation, position, and even ability, Zhang Yuelu was higher. A woman was stronger than a man, so of course the wife should follow the husband. It had nothing to do with fear or not. This was the objective law that the capable were promoted and the mediocre were demoted. Objectively, it was not his turn to make the decision. No wonder Qi Niang said that he was more realistic to be a gigolo.

Zhang Yuelu walked towards the ground, and Qi Xuansu followed behind.

At this time, the entire Shuitang workshop had been under full martial law. When he came to the ground, there were also many spiritual officials.

Zhang Yuelu looked to the east, but there was no trace of the glow, and even the original few fish belly white disappeared, and the whole sky became gray.

"This..." Qi Xuansu was surprised.

Zhang Yuelu's face became solemn: "Changing the weather, this time is not as simple as spreading curses in the water, the Zhiming Sect has a big plan. When I reported to Master before, I still downplayed the situation, I am afraid that Master and others will misjudge."

As he said, Zhang Yuelu took out another mother-child talisman.

This time, the light curtain transformed by the mother-child talisman only had chaotic light and shadows like the interweaving of lake light, but no human figure was seen.

Qi Xuansu subconsciously touched the mother-child talisman that contacted Qi Niang.

Just as Zhang Yuelu was about to wave his hand to disperse the light curtain, a figure gradually emerged on the light curtain, but it was not Cihang Zhenren, but a young man holding a dogtail grass, with a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets.

"Master Zhang, Taoist Qi, I have heard of you for a long time." The young man clasped his fists.

Qi Xuansu asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

The young man grinned, his smile was very bright, and a little naive, like a big boy: "My name is Situ Xingluan, from the Zhiming Sect."
