Pawn Crossing the River

It turned out that many Qingluan Guards had already mixed in among the common people, and they all drew out their "thin tiger knives" or "long sheep knives" and pushed towards the grass platform.

In addition, there are many police officers from the Yamen of the Prosecution Office, holding iron rulers and chains.

However, these people are all acquired, not innate.

The biggest advantage of acquired people is that they are easy to hide. Regardless of the technique of looking at the qi or the spiritual perception, it is difficult to distinguish them from ordinary people. On the contrary, there are some innate people that are difficult to see with the naked eye. The "vision" will appear very eye-catching, which is why the woman can see Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu at a glance.

It is precisely because of her "clear eyes" that the woman can escape from the pursuit of the Qingluan Guards many times. However, she did not expect that the Qingluan Guards would also learn to be clever and send out warriors, lieutenants, and policemen who were just acquired talents, disguised themselves, and hid in the house. Among the crowd, it would be difficult to be discovered unless one could judge his identity through his appearance like Qi Xuansu did.

The woman didn't panic. With a wave of her hand, the dancers and musicians turned into little paper figures, and she put them all into her sleeves. This is similar to the Yellow Turban Warriors that Lingquanzi once used, except that the Yellow Turban Warriors are specifically for fighting, while these little paper figures used by women have no combat power at all.

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

But this is not surprising. The essence of magic is to make falsehoods come true. As far as magic is concerned, it is not difficult for ordinary people to see the heavenly soldiers and generals turned into paper figures. Guizhen alchemists can do it, but they are definitely not suitable for use. When the two armies confront each other, because the evil spirit of swordsmen and the blood of warriors can interfere with magic the most, there are very few alchemists and wizards participating in the battle on the battlefield, which is the domain of warriors.

Fierce ghosts and their ilk are best at using spells to create illusions to harm people, causing them to scare themselves to death. However, if at the last moment, a person can burst out with a burst of blood and courage, just like the blood of a martial artist, they can interfere with and break the illusion. From the perspective of the person involved, it was after he had forgotten life and death and no longer feared that the ghosts and various horrific scenes suddenly disappeared.

However, if you can successfully deceive people and make others believe it, the more people believe it, the more real the magic will appear. As the saying goes, believe it and believe it to be true. Simple spells are actually tricks and deceptions. If you believe it and the thought of belief is added to the spell, it will make the spell more and more real. On the other hand, if you don’t believe it, the spell will be exposed.

This is also the reason why many scammers who only know a few superficial spells can run a place for a long time. Because there are so many believers, their spells are greatly blessed, making the spells more and more real, and the more realistic spells make more and more believers. The more, it's like a snowball, and the snowball gets bigger and bigger. But once someone exposes it, you can only go away, because people here don't believe it, and the magic will become more and more false.

The people who were watching previously believed that these dancers were real people. With the blessing of believing that they were real, these dancers became more and more realistic, and even Qi Xuansu hid it.

In fact, this principle can be applied to many aspects. For example, the famous Xumi object is essentially a miniature space made of magic and special materials. It can accommodate dead objects, but not living objects, because the blood will disrupt the normal operation of the magic. In operation, if living creatures are rashly put in, either the living creatures will die on the spot, or the Sumeru objects will be completely destroyed, and only one of the two can be saved.

As for the legendary cave sky, it is already the prototype of opening up another world. It is the great magical power only possessed by immortals. It has truly completed the entire process of converting falsehood into truth, leaving only "truth" and no more "falseness". So living people can also enter it.

After the woman put away the paper figurine, she took out a talisman. She was as light as a feather and flew up precariously.

This is the "Flying Feather Talisman" of the alchemist. It can indeed allow people to leave the ground and fly into the sky. However, compared with the flying flying talisman of the heavenly being, the speed is extremely slow, and it cannot be used to engage in combat in the air. It has great limitations.

The Qingluan guards and detectives on the ground could only stop when they saw this scene.

At this moment, many Qingluan guards appeared on the surrounding roofs, holding long blunderbuss in their hands, aiming at the woman who was slowly rising, and fired one after another.

The whistling projectiles intertwined into an invisible net.

In the blink of an eye, the woman was shot in many places, but there was no blood flowing, but the red clothes on her body were beaten to pieces, vaguely revealing her slender waist and slender thighs.

Qi Xuansu, who was looking up, heard Zhang Yuelu say before he could see the specific details: "You are not allowed to look."

Qi Xuansu had no choice but to look away and suddenly figured out one thing. When he looked at the dancing girls before, Zhang Yuelu had no reaction. He had probably seen that the dancing girls were not living people, so he didn't care much about it. Now that they were living people, he wouldn't care. Happy.

Qi Xuansu whispered: "You are so lenient."

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

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

Zhang Yuelu said: "I didn't see their true colors, but when I used the 'immortal breath-seeing technique' to see these dancing girls, I found that they didn't have the breath that living people should have, so I speculated that they were not living people, so I Let you give it a try.”

Qi Xuansu was a little depressed. It turned out that Zhang Yuelu had known for a long time that there would be no romantic encounter, so he said, "I can't let go of the child and I can't trap the wolf." This girl is not stupid, and she has never been careless 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 are no heavenly beings in Jinguan Mansion, it's just that the 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. There are many low shacks 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 move from frugality to luxury, but difficult from luxury to frugality. After living in Yujing for a few months, he was no longer used 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 muskets and artillery, and there are people with archers and cavalry.

The alternation of new and old has just begun.
