What kind of Journey to the West is this?

The masked priest thought for a moment and looked at Baihu, "Then let's go and work for those old ghosts in Xiaoliang for a while. Aren't they colluding with the big crocodile god in Chaozhou and trying to take over the water veins of the Sichuan River? Let's go and serve as priests for the crocodile god for a few days and earn some food."

"It's all good, as long as I don't stay in Cangzhou." Baihu's face was full of fear.

An Yanxia fought him barehanded later, and although she had fought fiercely earlier, she had only used a single bronze mace. He had heard that the official was adept at using two maces that day, and if he encountered her again, he would probably not hold back.

By then... he was worried that he wouldn't even be able to keep his body intact.

Beads of cold sweat appeared on Baihu's forehead, and he thought to himself: No wonder Chi Pan was subdued.

By the way, since An Yanxia had given up negotiating with him later, why did she still hold back?

At first, he only used a bronze mace to fight, which is understandable and he wanted to persuade him to surrender. But later, we already knew that he had surrendered to the Six Heavens Ghost, so why did he go into battle bare-chested?

unless.......

Baihu suddenly opened his eyes wide and said in panic: "Not good!"

He stood up and ran out the door.

The masked priest wondered, "White Tiger, are we leaving now?"

Bai Hu rushed out of the door, his breath stagnant, looking at the red rainbow rolling in the sky, and said bitterly: "I'm afraid I can't leave."

heaven.

The red rainbow danced, trailing meteors - the girl in the cloud robe and arrow sleeves turned the fire knife in her hand and looked at the silent Cangzhou City around her.

The golden elixir in the bag turned three times, and flames followed the Fire Knife's command and flew from the houses in all directions.

Suddenly, a sea of fire rose.

The masked priest went out to see what was happening, but he saw a red rainbow flying towards him, with a sea of fire rising behind it. Even the night sky was burning, and he suddenly felt as if he was in a sea of fire in hell.

The flames started from the atrium, then the liver, kidneys, lungs, spleen, stomach, and finally even the blood vessels were burning. The pain came quickly and disappeared quickly.

Just the blink of an eye.

Boom!

There was not a single scratch on his body, but his face was filled with pain and his eyes were open.

.........................

At midnight, the streets east and west of the City God Temple were silent at night, but the brothels in Zhenyuanfang in the distance were brightly lit.

At the end of the year, four auspicious cloud flags are erected at the four corners of the bell tower. The night watchman stares at the clepsydra, and when the fish ball rolls into the copper clepsydra, he will calculate the time and replace the wooden sign.

The bell ringer stared at the bronze bell, on which was painted a five-colored divine rooster, with the "Vajra Mantra" written in cloud seal script on the cinnabar-coated rooster's comb.

The wooden sign turned over to the right side and the hammer fell.

The night watchman stretched his neck and sang in a shrill voice: "At midnight, in the heavens and on the earth, the clear cranes cry!"

Boom!

Boom!

The hammer fell on the bronze surface.

In the City God Temple, the boy who struck the chimes struck Shang and Zheng, and the clear and loud bell sounds fell on the wall, and the lights of the nine Changming Palace lamps flickered.

The memorial on the incense table spontaneously combusted, quickly turning to ash. The wine cup holder recited a secret prayer three times before the tablets of the Three Sovereigns. He then lifted the bronze cup and poured the wine onto the table, revealing a piece of writing.

It was an auspicious day. At midnight, the moon descended into the Southern Dipper, marking the beginning of the day's yang energy. Spring Festival sweeps away chronic ills, ousts evil, and marks the beginning of the year's yang energy. With my finger stained with cinnabar, I pressed my handprint on the table, and a spiritual response descended, linking the three tablets with a faint, clear light.

The wooden plaques hung spontaneously by the people on the south wall shook gently, revealing red and red cloud seals.

This is the product of the prayers of the people, an auspicious day, and the presence of a highly skilled master, the power of the incense and its wishes condensed into a solid mass. If any earthly deity who relies on incense for their livelihood were to see such a concentrated mass of incense, they would surely be astonished.

But at this moment, these wooden signs were burned with ash marks that were invisible to the naked eye.

Yu Qinghuai stood in front of these wooden signs and asked in surprise, "How could someone mobilize the incense offerings in the city?"

After flipping through it again, Yu Qinghuai was even more puzzled. The incense and vows on these signs had not decreased, which meant that no one had moved these signs.

But the burn marks on it...

Jiuzhezi put down his tablet, walked over, picked up the wooden plaque, and examined it carefully. "It seems that no one has tampered with the incense."

"Then this is..."

"There's something wrong with the source of the incense and the power of the vows."

"Source?"

Yu Qinghuai was slightly surprised. The source of the incense and the power of the vows came from the tens of thousands of people in Cangzhou City.

If something goes wrong...she felt a chill down her spine.

Jiuzhanzi smiled and said, "Don't worry. It's just a burn mark, which means there's nothing serious behind it. But the smell of the burn mark is somewhat familiar..."

Yu Qinghuai was eager to learn, so he asked, "Master Yuhu, is this caused by magic?"

"Yes. It's a bit like the Five-Knife Plague Curse?" Jiuzhanzi himself became unsure.

Five-Knife Plague Curse!

This is the introductory technique of the Plague Department. At most, it can be used on seven or eight people, but it can also affect tens of thousands of people in Cangzhou City. Is this really the effect that the Five-Sword Plague Curse can produce?

Yu Qinghuai was also stunned and whispered, "There aren't many people in the city who know this spell, right?"

Jiuzhongzi nodded slowly, "As far as I know, there should only be An Yanxia."

Yu Qinghuai defended An Yanxia, saying, "Senior is not that kind of person."

The wine cup laughed dumbly.

He hasn't yet evaluated what kind of person used the Five Blades Plague Curse!

Yu Qinghuai blushed and added, "That's not what I meant. It's mainly because you've learned the Five Blades Plague Curse poorly, and you haven't even learned the Water Blade Curse yet. In that situation, how could you possibly cast a plague curse that affects the entire city?"

"Yeah, no need to explain."

"Of course I know what she's capable of." Jiuzhanzi chuckled, then calmed down and said, "It seems that someone who is proficient in plague and five elements magic has come to the city."

"The Three Emperors' Festival is approaching. I hope this person is just passing through."

Donghuang Suddenly Receives Jade Talisman: Chapter 194 [Master Qinghe]

"Taoist! Taoist! I'm here to help!"

Jiang Banxia climbed up the wall and lay on the top of it to look into the yard. His eyes were instantly attracted by the two corpses.

Instantly, I took a breath of cold air.

She swallowed, "Dead?!"

Yan Xia retracted her two maces and stood in front of the two corpses. Thinking of her own actions just now, she was scared by herself.

With just one swipe of his fire knife, he actually set the entire city on fire!

Jiang Banxia was lying on the wall, his eyes piercing through the darkness. He asked in surprise, "How did you kill those two?"

Beneath the plague god, a cat girl in a dark blue jacket was holding the soles of Jiang Banxia's shoes with both hands, looking angry.

"Are you going to climb over the wall or not? If you don't, I'll throw you away!"

"Okay! Okay! Hehehe, this is really troublesome..." Jiang Banxia laughed, carefully rode on the wall, held on to the wall, and tried to stretch his legs down.

Two feet above the ground, she kicked twice in fear, cried out "ouch", and fell to the ground.

Xue Shi'er was very agile. After climbing over the wall, he complained, "If you are not good at martial arts, why don't you fly?"

Jiang Banxia slapped his head and said, "I forgot!"

Yes, I was assimilated by the snow lion...

Yan Xia ignored their quarreling and squatted on the ground, turning over the two bodies and asked, "Where are Feiyun Fangzhu and the black cat?"

"It's behind." Jiang Banxia looked left and right and heard a noise.

Not far behind An Yanxia, there was a click and the door was pushed open.

At the main gate, Feiyun Fangzhu walked in holding a black cat and asked in confusion, "The main gate is not locked, what are you doing climbing over the wall?"

Xue Shier & Jiang Banxia: “….”

Let's leave it at that. Jiang Banxia felt embarrassed and didn't want to talk about it anymore.

She walked over to Yanxia, squatted down, and turned the wrist of the beast-faced priest. She asked curiously, "How did he die? Why can't I see any scars at all?"

"Fire Knife, I used the Fire Knife!"

"??? Is the Five Blades Plague Curse so effective in killing people?"

Jiang Banxia was confused for a moment. The Five-Sword Plague Curse was the introductory spell of the Plague Department.

getting Started!

This thing was not originally intended to kill people, but to allow the plague gods to practice the skills of spreading the plague. Its power is not that great.

An Yanxia had stabbed Luo Sushang dozens of times, and Luo Sushang was seriously ill and unconscious at the time, but he acted like nothing happened, which shows the power of this spell.

Yanxia stuck out her tongue and repeated what she had just seen.

"I originally wanted to scare them with my flaming sword, but for some reason, it didn't strike the two enemies, but instead set the entire city on fire. Sparks flew from every house and gathered in my hand."

"The sparks gathered and turned into a sea of fire. Unfortunately, the sea of fire dissipated after those two were killed. You didn't see it."

Jiang Banxia didn't believe it, so she opened her mouth and silently recited the Five-Knife Plague Curse.

He raised his hand and pointed, and a fire snake flew towards Feiyunfangzhu.

The vixen flicked the three tails behind her gently, blowing out a light fragrant breeze that extinguished the fire snake.

Jiang Banxia felt it was outrageous and asked, "Why can't I do it?"

Yan Xia said: "Maybe I am a genius."

Over there, a voice sounded.

"I'm afraid it's because of the Three Yangs' auspiciousness. An Ba Zui, you're not stirring up your own anger, but the anger of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Cangzhou City."

Feiyun's tail swayed behind him, and he said, "When many people gather fuel, the flames rise high, and eventually they become a sea of fire."

Yan Xia asked, "Three Yangs bring good fortune?"

"At midnight and Spring Festival, there should still be one Yang. Three Yangs are the state of Shao Yang. Only such abundant Yang energy is enough for you to ignite the sea of fire."

Feiyun asked doubtfully: "But there is still Yiyang..."

Jiang Banxia continued, explaining, "It's a golden elixir."

Feiyun's face changed, and he looked at Yanxia as if he was looking at a rare treasure. He wanted to take her home, strip her naked, and examine her carefully.

Golden elixir! That’s a golden elixir!

Even the inferior first-level elixir can be used as bait for corpse-transmigration immortals. Using the golden elixir as bait to achieve corpse-transmigration immortality is considered a mid-level earthly immortal. While not as good as the upper-level earthly immortals who cultivate themselves into immortal flesh and jade bones through the practice of condensing the inner energy and refining the evil spirit, it is still a righteous path.

Jiang Banxia was still a little confused. "The Three Yangs Bring Good Fortunes, while providing the power for your Sea of Fire ability, how did you stir up the anger of tens of thousands of people in the city?"

Yanxia had some ideas. Xue Shier spoke for her, "It's the Three Emperors' Hall. There's also the midnight bell."

Yan Xia said, "The Three Emperors' Fast is gathering the incense and prayer power of the people. Incense and prayer power can only come from the consciousness. When the consciousness of the people is disturbed, they are prone to dreaming. My fire knife strike happened to hit the rooster man ringing the bell for the night watch. The bronze bell on the bell tower was chanting the Vajra Mantra, and the sound could be heard for miles. It was that bell that struck my fire knife into the dreams of tens of thousands of people in Cangzhou City."

Although Jiang Banxia already knew the reason, he still couldn't help being surprised and gave up on learning this trick.

There’s no way, it’s too troublesome!

The right time, the right location, and the right people are all indispensable!

Not to mention anything else, just the mana provided by Sanyang Kaitai, she couldn't squeeze out even one percent of it even if she squeezed herself dry.

Yan Xia thought this spell was pretty good.

Indeed, full power requires environmental cards to cooperate, but she can use half power or even reduce the sea of fire to one-tenth! In that way, the conditions are much more relaxed.

As for the bronze bell inscribed with the Vajra Mantra, that was even easier. She could just cast one. If that didn't work, there was a lower-level alternative. The Bull-Headed Vajra's Flowing Fire Golden Bell was not ineffective, except for its low volume.

Fasting and offering prayers were even simpler; any mage from Miaoyan Palace could perform them. The only problem was the rage within the heart, and there were few people out in the wilderness. This meant that this technique was only suitable for use in the city.

Feiyun and Xueshier were not interested in the complicated spell and just asked, "What should we do with these corpses?"

Yan Xia pondered, "Let me think about it!"
