Daoist Abandoned Wisdom

Tao Xinian and his party stayed in Xuanmiao Temple for ten days.In just ten days, the city of Jizhou was turned upside down.

On the second day when they came to Xuanmiao Temple for refuge, Tao Xinian and Kou Huai used illusion to transform into ordinary people and quietly descended the mountain.At this time, many ordinary people in the city felt that the situation was wrong, and fled the city with their families. Nearly half of the people left in the city became crazy.

Tao Xinian heard the ringing of the bell coming from the Tianjie Temple in the west, and it was continuous. When the lunatics heard the ringing, they all went westward with dull eyes.He and Kou Huai tried several Taoism methods but couldn't control them. Even after using the immobilizing amulet, after the magic power disappeared, the madman would still accept the guidance of the bell and go westward.

After another half a day, the gates of the city were sealed, and the surviving people could only hide in their homes, and the peddlers on the street had disappeared.It is said that the government sent people to Tianjie Temple to check, but none of the people who went there came back, and Jizhou City almost became a dead city.

The few Taoists, although their Taoism is acceptable, but their strength is too weak to deal with Faqing, they are like hitting a stone with a pebble.So Kou Huai found a way to send the letter out, and together with Tao Xinian and Qingchen Laodao, they made an enchantment in a mansion near the northern suburbs to rescue the survivors.

Three days later, Tribo came with rescuers.Tao Xinian and Kou Huai went down to his tent to help him.However, after a few days of stalemate, a demon named Li Guibo under Fa Qing killed Cui Bo, and the remaining soldiers quickly dispersed.Tao Xinian was almost caught by Li Guibo, but fortunately Kou Huai rescued him and saved his life.

The rescuers were wiped out, and Faqing's arrogance became even stronger.Under the guidance of San Qingling, the mad patient turned into a living corpse, spreading to all directions, even entering the boundaries of surrounding counties and cities, and attacking the local garrisons.Tao Xinian really doesn't understand, is Faqing planning to rebel?As a monk, even if he sits on the throne, no one will recognize him.Or, he wants to isolate the vicinity of Jizhou and establish himself as king?

He couldn't figure out what Faqing was going to do, and the others were also full of worries.They lived in the Xuanmiao Temple for ten days, except to rescue the surviving people, lead them into the protective circle, and find food for them, but they couldn't do anything.

Kou Huai's letter was sent out, and the letter from Cui Bo's subordinates was also sent to Luoyang.All they can do now is wait.During the period of the siege of the city, before the rescuers arrive, protect the survivors in the house at the foot of the mountain.

Tao Xinian looked towards the sky, wondering if it was his illusion, the sky was completely gray these days, not as clear as when he first arrived in Jizhou City.Abo also looked up and saw a dove in the sky, so he pointed to it and shouted: "Master Dao, there is a dove!"

"Pigeons are nothing unusual." Tao Xinian took a walk in the yard, watering the flowers by the way.

The pigeon circled for a while, and flew towards them.Tao Xinian was overjoyed, could it be that the news came from outside?

The dove flapped its white wings and landed on his shoulder.Tao Xinian thought this pigeon looked familiar, isn't this Yuan Yao's flying star?He had fed it a few times, and Flying Star recognized him.

Seeing the pigeons coming, Lu Yu walked out energetically.He had almost regained his exhausted energy, and watched Tao Xinian curiously as he took off the post box tied to the pigeon's leg.

"Abo, go get some rice for Fei Xing."

Abo also recognized Yuan Yao's pigeons. Although he hated Yuan Yao, he liked Flying Star very much. He immediately ran to the kitchen and brought two handfuls of rice.

What is written in the letter?Why did he send Meteor over here to deliver the letter for him?Tao Xinian was a little uncertain, and anxiously unfolded the letter.

Brother Tao Xinian personally wrote: I suddenly heard the rebellion in Jizhou, is Brother Tao safe?I lead [-] Wei troops to the north to quell the chaos, and will arrive in Jizhou in a few days.

The handwriting is clean and beautiful, and the language is concise, just like that person's style.Tao Xinian laughed, the dimple on his left cheek was sunken, most of the tension in the past few days had disappeared.He felt that Yuan Yao led the Wei army here, and they must have enough strength to deal with Fa Qing.

Fei Xing was still pecking rice, Tao Xinian hastily turned out his pen and ink, wrote down the words of peace on a piece of thin paper, and briefly wrote down the current situation in Jizhou City.Finally, roll up the thin paper and stuff it into the bamboo tube.Feixing was full and paced back and forth in the courtyard.Abo followed it, walking up and down, but didn't catch it, just swayed along with it.

Tao Xinian scooped up the flying star, tied the bamboo tube back between its legs, threw it into the sky, and the flying star flapped its wings and flew away, and flew back the same way to find Yuan Yao.

"Brother Tao, is it your pigeon?" Lu Yu asked.

Tao Xinian nodded and smiled, "It's my friend's. He's going north to pacify the chaos, and he's bringing an army of [-]. Maybe he'll be there soon."

Lu Yu's eyes widened, and he also laughed: "I didn't expect Brother Tao to have such a powerful friend. If there are [-] Wei troops to help, Faqing will be conquered just around the corner. See Daoist Su, Xuanyu, and Daoist Qingchen." Brother Chang and Brother Kou must be very happy to find out when they come back."

The gloomy sky seemed to be about to rain, Yuan Yao raised his head to look at the sky, feeling a little anxious rarely.Now there is still a day's journey away from Jizhou, tens of thousands of troops have been marching for days, and it has been quite hard. If they don't have a good rest before entering Jizhou City, how can they fight against the walking corpses in the city?

Seeing that it was getting dark and it was about to rain, Wei Yuan, the superintendent who came with Yuan Yao, stepped forward and asked, "General Yuan, it's getting late, should we camp and rest?"

Yuan Yao hesitated for a while, and said: "Go forward for half an hour, there are still people in Jizhou City who need to be rescued."

Wei Jianjun replied "yes" and continued to follow on horseback.

A white pigeon flapped its wings and circled for a while. After recognizing its owner, it bent down and landed on Yuan Yao's shoulder.Yuan Yao reached out and removed the bamboo tube from Fei Xing's right leg. Seeing that there was a letter inside, his frowning brows relaxed.He quickly unfolded the letter paper, Tao Xinian's unruly handwriting filled his sight.After confirming that the old man is fine, Yuan Yao let go of the big stone in his heart.He turned to the supervisor and said, "Wei supervisor, it's going to rain, tell the brothers to stop and rest."

Wei Jianjun led the order to inform the soldiers, and when the soldiers stopped and set up their tents, the rain fell after a while.

Wei Yuandao: "General Yuan has good eyesight, the time is just right, no more and no less, brothers are not caught in the rain."

"It's just a coincidence, Wei Jianjun is too proud."

After nightfall, he read the letter carefully again, and had a somewhat clear understanding of the situation in Jizhou City.

The walking corpses this time are living people, which are more difficult to deal with than dead corpses.He had to find a way to control the madman, and then go to take the Sanqingling from Faqing's hand.The letter also mentioned that the black snake spirit who escaped last time may be Faqing's wife, the nun Huihui.But she has not come forward to do evil recently, perhaps because of old wounds that have not healed.Fa Qing also has a monster called Li Guibo, who knows the strange formations and is extremely difficult to deal with. Fa Qing is good at demagoguery.

He put away the note, called Wei Yuan and several Taoists who were traveling with him, and discussed the countermeasures.
