Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 571 Another visitor from the government

As he spoke, green water surged up in the Taoist's hand, and a luxurious jade tower inlaid with emerald green, jewels, gold and silver appeared inside and covered Chu Tai.

Such a direct style was in line with Chu Tai's thoughts. He had no intention of listening to him. When he saw the small tower falling, he flipped his palm and emitted a ray of light.

As soon as the light left his hand, it turned into heavy clouds that rose up. When it touched the small tower, colorful clouds immediately splashed and scattered, and ripples appeared, which firmly supported the pagoda and made it unable to move.

At the same time, another ray of light flew out from Chu Tai's sleeve and hit the Taoist's crown.

The Taoist was obviously not good at fighting. Normally, when the magic weapon, the small jade tower, was taken out, even cultivators of the same level had to avoid its edge. Now that he was easily stopped by someone, he lost his composure and hurriedly released a clear light, trying to block something.

However, his true Qi magic power was not condensed. Facing Chu Tai's attack, the protective light was instantly shattered, leaving only wisps of clear air lingering around him.

If the Taoist robe he was wearing was not also a magic weapon, his head would have been shattered by the spiritual light emitted by Chu Tai.

But the spiritual light missed the attack and turned in the air again, then fell down again as Chu Tai's magic technique changed.

And this time, many sharp edges emerged in the spiritual light, making it even more terrifying.

When the Taoist saw this scene, he was so frightened that he turned away quickly.

The returning spiritual light swept past, this time breaking through the protection of the Taoist robe and leaving a wound on his body.

The Taoist hurriedly dodged, but Chu Tai's attack followed him like a shadow, and the spiritual light was like the tide, one wave after another. No matter how the Taoist dodged, his spells and treasures would be broken.

In less than half a cup of tea, the Taoist was in a miserable state.

He coughed up blood repeatedly, and finally gave in: "Wait...wait, may I ask who you are? I am a Taoist official on record. If you kill me..."

Before he could finish his words, Chu Tai had already slapped the man's head with his backhand, smashing it and killing him on the spot.

The "grandmother" beside him was horrified when she saw this scene and hurriedly asked: "Senior, why did you kill him!"

"Why, he can't be killed?"

"He is a registered Taoist official. Killing him will surely cause the wrath of the imperial court!"

Chu Tai found "Grandma Axian's" panic a little funny, but he could also understand it.

After all, he was just a living being killed by the real Grandma A-Xian. Although he has now achieved the fifth-grade cultivation, he is not aware of many secrets.

Chu Tai stretched out his hand, rubbed his five fingers together, and a few sparks flew out, directly burning the Taoist's body into ashes. At the same time, he took several magic weapons in his hands and looked at them carefully.

Looking at the terrified "Grandma Ah Xi", Chu Tai spoke slowly: "Don't think this person is scary. If he is really a Taoist official on the list, the moment I took action, the fate of humanity would have already punished him. It has not manifested at this moment, which only means that this person does not have that identity. Since he is not on the list, what do you have to worry about?"

Hearing this, "Grandma Ah Xian" was stunned for a moment and couldn't help asking, "Senior, are you serious?"

"If you don't believe what I say, then you should at least believe in the character of those officials. If they have a job that pays well with little work, do you think they would keep it for themselves or for outsiders? Does that guy look like someone who is willing to be someone else's lackey?"

Chu Tai's words made "Grandma Xian" stunned for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, she instantly understood the reason.

"I see, that's true. How could those officials allow good jobs to fall into the hands of people like us? What they are willing to give out must not be good things."

As she spoke, "Grandma Ah Xian" looked at the ashes left behind and cursed, "I found it strange at the beginning. If this guy was really included in the list, why would he want to snatch things from us common people? It turns out that this guy is just wearing a tiger's skin, bah..."

At the same time, many phantoms of small spiders appeared in the body of "Grandma Ah Xi", crawling back and forth, as if they were saying something. "Well, although this guy has no official status, he has come here to represent an identity. I will kill him directly, which is also a way to not give face to the person behind him. There will inevitably be a fight later. If you have nothing to do, you can retreat to the side first, and come to me after I have dealt with the subsequent matters. I will help you solve the subsequent problems."

As soon as these words came out, "Grandma Ah Xi" trembled again, and the many small spiders that appeared disappeared one by one. After nodding repeatedly, she turned into a shadow and disappeared.

Chu Tai, on the other hand, was playing with the small jade tower in his hand while continuing to sort out the veins and energy of the earth.

For Chu Tai, this process is to restore the order here and slightly repair the problems caused by the statue of the God of Wealth that has randomly affected the people's livelihood. At least, it will release the turbid evil spirits accumulated in the urban villages and slums to prevent them from becoming a breeding ground for poisonous insects that harm the lives of the creatures living there at all times.

But such methods obviously cannot repair the impact. Cangyan City is because of the Reclining Buddha Temple. Even if people may prefer Buddhism in the future, it is better than having their fate interfered with.

But in Taokuang City, Chu Tai has not yet found a force that can provide support.

Without the power to help guide them, even if we solve the accumulated problems in the slums and reduce the speed of their further deterioration, it will be difficult to guide the parts that have already deteriorated.

"These matters of people's livelihood and local education were originally the responsibilities of the imperial court. How come they have now fallen on me?"

Chu Tai sighed and raised his voice deliberately, causing the faces of the man and woman who had just arrived here to change slightly.

The man even scolded, "Since you know that this matter should be handled by the court, why are you interfering? Why don't you step down!"

A mighty and righteous aura descended, trying to subdue Chu Tai.

Seeing this, the woman next to her frowned slightly, but didn't say much.

Chu Tai looked back and saw this scene, and sneered: "Why are there always people like you coming and going? It seems that there is really no one left in Taokuang City."

As he spoke, he walked straight forward, stretched out one hand, and the clear air rose from his head, turning into a big hand that stretched out and directly broke the invisible aura.

The man's face suddenly changed, and he stepped forward and scolded: "How can a foreign cultivator ruin the righteousness of the world!"

A majestic and powerful aura suddenly rushed up, and just as it was about to withstand Chu Tai's grappling ability, a few strands of hair flew out and landed in the aura.

In an instant, hundreds of millions of wailing sounds were heard, leaving the man stunned for a moment.

"Go tell your nonsense to the victims. Let me see if you have the courage to forcibly erase these resentments."

As he said this, he slapped the man whose righteousness and elegance were wrapped in the resentment and wailing of the people and sent him flying. He turned back to look at the woman who remained calm and asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Mi Hanyi, and I am the instructor of Taokuang City."

The woman's voice was neither humble nor servile. Chu Tai narrowed his eyes slightly and took her a little more seriously.

The so-called instructor refers to the officials under the court who cooperate with the instructors to manage local education issues.

According to the scale of Taokuang City, the teachers are generally between the eighth rank and the regular eighth rank. Although the rank is not high, they are indeed formal officials. They are different from the previous Taoist officials and the men next to them. They are truly protected by the court.

Mi Hanyi also obviously saw Chu Tai's attitude, and her expression softened a little. What she feared most was that Chu Tai would become lawless and cause things to get out of control.

Seeing that Chu Tai still cared about the dignity of the court, he coughed twice and said, "I know that the real person is very angry at the moment, but there are some things that we cannot decide. You should also understand our difficulties."

As soon as this classic line of speech came out, Chu Tai frowned again and interrupted.
