The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 20 One-sided

After dark, Li Jingxiao sat on a cushion and meditated.

Slowly, after being silent for a long time, the people around couldn't help but start muttering and talking.

However, the people in the Daoluo Division have more or less seen or heard of strange things.

Although they were muttering and talking, they were very calm.

Around ten o'clock in the evening, Rao Guangxian took out a pocket watch, glanced at it, and asked, "Jingyou, it's still half an hour until midnight."

Li Jingxiao's Taoist name is Jingyou, but this name does not sound like a Taoist name, but more like a "father's name".

Seeing Li Jingxiao sitting still and not speaking, Rao Guangxian looked at Yu Fubao and said, "Old Yu, after returning to Beijing this time.

Why not talk to Lord Shen and have Jingyou's Dao membership cancelled to avoid any impact on his future career?"

Yu Fubao was stunned, and then he guessed what Rao Guangxian was thinking.

It’s not that he, Rao Guangxian, and Shen Boping had no chance of promotion, but they were always suppressed by the bigwigs in the Ministry of Rites.

Not everyone is willing to deal with the weird, and those Jinshi are even less willing.

Now, finally, a younger generation has arrived who is young, willing to be an official, and has real abilities.

When Li Jingxiao has made enough contributions, he should be rewarded and promoted, right?
Shen Boping knows too much, so he probably can't leave.

The first person to benefit was Rao Guangxian.

When Rao Guangxian is promoted and leaves, Yu Fubao will take his place. If Li Jingxiao makes further achievements, Yu Fubao will also have the opportunity to be promoted or transferred.

He not only jumped out of the Daolu Division, but also made room for Li Jingxiao.

Mutual benefit, what’s not to like?
He nodded, thought for a moment, and then said with bright eyes, "This is easy to handle. After all, all the Taoist books in the world are under the management of our Daolu Division.

There is no need to erase or modify the words on the Taoist documents."

After saying this, he looked at Li Jingxiao's back and continued with a smile, "Jingyou has been a Taoist for more than three months. It would be inappropriate to erase or modify it.

Fortunately, I received the imperial edict a few days ago and only needed to add a few sentences to it.

Just say, "I am honored to be an official by imperial decree. When I retire, I will be admitted to the Daoist canon again."

To hang up the seal means to resign from office. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu resigned from his post and escorted his sister-in-law to find Liu Bei.

The four words "re-enter the Taoist sect" indicate that Li Jingxiao had returned to secular life during his time as an official, otherwise the word "re-enter" would not have been used.

Now Li Jingxiao wanted to give Yu Fubao a thumbs up.

Rao Guangxian laughed heartily, "Yes, yes, I'll write it as you said.

If someone wants to investigate in the future, and the Emperor and Your Majesty know this, they will also praise Jingyou for his sensible attitude."

As the saying goes, Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents and Teachers, the emperor's words are definitely more important than those of the teacher.

In fact, there is no need to wait until one is in his seventies or eighties to retire. There are actually quite a few officials in their thirties or forties who serve as Taoist priests.

These people have only reached the fourth or third rank, and it is very difficult for them to be promoted further.

Being a Taoist priest at home is better than thinking about how to fight all day long.

Or if you live a life of debauchery and lie down, it will be easier for the emperor to accept you.

And the reasons are easy to find: self-cultivation, cultivating one's character, being quiet and doing nothing, this is self-cultivation.

The reputation is definitely positive.

Li Jingxiao couldn't help but sigh that people with real abilities are always popular no matter which unit they are in.

If you are cautious, humble and know how to share credit, you will be the darling of the group.

Li Jingxiao was about to express his gratitude when he suddenly felt a surge of spiritual energy.

He opened his eyes, looked at the corpse, and shouted, "Here it comes."

Everyone looked at the body and saw that it was tied up like a dumpling and suddenly trembled a few times.

Everyone was so frightened that they either retreated or several village elders almost fainted.

He hurriedly asked the villagers who had followed him to help him retreat.

However, these villagers did not escape directly.

Everyone knew that if they didn't kill the zombie, the first to suffer would be the nearby villages. The village elders were mostly landlords with fields and houses, so the poor could still escape, but even if they wanted to, they couldn't bear to leave their land.

The soldiers and yamen runners quickly drew their swords, iron bars and chains.

Li Jingxiao was waiting for the performance and shouted again, "Move aside. Jinyi Xiaoqi and Brother Liu will protect the two adults, and the yamen runners will protect Lord You."

After saying this, he didn't wait for everyone to take action.

Li Jingxiao quickly walked up to a yamen runner and snatched the long stick from his hand.

With a leap, he easily crossed the distance of 5 or 6 meters and appeared in front of the corpse that had completely turned into a zombie.

Sensing that there was a living person 3 meters away, the corpse suddenly stood up out of thin air and jumped towards Li Jingxiao.

Li Jingxiao said to himself, it’s good that you came.

Not only did Taoist Liu consume a lot of the evil energy of this zombie,

He was still tied up tightly with hemp ropes, and could only exert 20% or 30% of his full strength.

Unable to win, Li Jingxiao simply gave up practicing Taoism.

With a sweep of the long stick, he hit the zombie's ankle first.

The zombie fell face down on the ground in mid-air with a thud.

The people around them then became noisy and protected Rao Guangxian and the other two as they retreated.

He looked at the zombie with a nervous or horrified expression, and suddenly stood up straight.

Li Jingxiao had just hit the zombie with a stick and realized that although its body was tough, it was not invulnerable to swords and guns.

This time he used his strength and hit him with the stick again.

The tip of the long stick touched the zombie's ankle.

Suddenly there was a 'crack' sound, and the zombie's ankle was broken.

As the saying goes, "guns are afraid of shaking, and sticks are afraid of being pointed."

It means that when the tip of the spear shakes, the opponent will not know where you are attacking him.

The stick is afraid of the tip, which means that when you hit someone with the tip of the stick, even if it looks like a splash of water, it can actually smash the person's head.

After breaking the zombie's ankle with a stick, it became easier to deal with.

Taoist Liu, who was standing by, was relieved upon seeing this.

He thought to himself that Lord Li's stick skills must have been practiced for at least ten years.

Moreover, he is extremely talented, no wonder he is so loved by the elders in the sect.

Li Jingxiao used his Shaolin stick technique, and for a moment the zombie was unable to fight back.

But the zombie not only had no sense of pain, but even though it had many broken bones all over its body, it continued to pounce on Li Jingxiao.

Looking at the people around me, I couldn't help but worry again.

After trying more than twenty moves, Li Jingxiao swung his stick again, and the true energy of the 'Immortal Changchun Gong' was gathered on the long stick.

When the stick was hit, the zombie not only let out a wailing sound, but also a cloud of black gas emerged from its body.

Li Jingxiao's eyes lit up when he saw it.

In the novel, it is described that the Qi of the Immortal Changchun Gong is domineering and has pure yang properties.

Now it seems that it can restrain evil spirits.

After being hit by a few more sticks, the zombie began to wilted.

The force of the jump becomes smaller and the distance of the jump is obviously shortening.

There is even a sense of fear.

Li Jingxiao suddenly felt that there was no need to test it anymore, and that this kind of zombie that knew how to be afraid after transforming must be a different species.

If we let him go today, who knows how many innocent people will be harmed.

He thrust the long stick into the ground, and four fire-controlling talismans suddenly appeared in his hand.
