Dragon and Tiger Taoist

At the foot of Songyan Mountain, holding the horse and looking up at the mist-shrouded mountain peaks, Changhe County Detective Zhang Xu let out a long breath. He had been traveling non-stop in order to make time.

Touching the documents in his arms, he tied the horse, and Zhang Xu climbed up the bluestone stairs without stopping.

This errand is also a rare and good opportunity for Zhang Xu. After all, it is normal to get some generous rewards if you perform well and get in touch with immortal cultivators. To be honest, Zhang Xu is quite surprised that he can get this opportunity. .

Climbing all the way, looking at the surrounding vigorous pine trees and the weeds scrambling to emerge from the ground, Zhang Xu always felt that this place was different from other places, but he couldn't tell. In the end, he could only sigh that this was indeed a holy land of immortals.

Changqing Guan outside, handed over the greeting card, Zhang Xu waited silently, when he saw the two large lychee trees at the entrance of the Guan, which were full of green and even had some white flowers hidden among the branches and leaves, Zhang Xu finally understood what was going on. No, the spring in Songyan Mountain is obviously much earlier than in other places, and it has a strong vitality that is not found in other places.

"Please come with me."

After receiving Zhang Chunyi's reply, Zhang Zhong invited Zhang Xu in.

Feeling the fierce aura on Zhang Zhong's body, Zhang Xu's whole body was as excited as if he were encountering a liger.

Looking at Zhang Zhong's not burly figure, Zhang Xu only had one thought in his mind, that is, he was a master.

In Yingsongyuan, looking at Zhang Xu who was brought in by Zhang Zhong, Zhang Chunyi looked indifferent.

"Captain Zhang Xu from Changhe County has met the immortal master."

Looking at Zhang Chunyi's childish face, Zhang Xu hesitated for a moment before bowing and saluting.

Zhang Chunyi looked young and was obviously not the Immortal Master Changqingzi he was looking for, but the person sitting here must have a high status.

"Immortal Master, I wonder if Immortal Master Changqingzi is in the temple? I have urgent business and need to see him."

Looking at Zhang Chunyi with a calm face, Zhang Xu gritted his teeth and added something. After speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Zhang Chunyi.

Hearing this, Zhang Chunyi took a sip of tea in the cup and finally spoke.

"Immortal Master Changqingzi passed away a few months ago, didn't you know?"

Hearing this, the blood on Zhang Xu's face instantly receded, and he raised his head with a horrified look on his face, looking at Zhang Chunyi who couldn't even say a complete sentence for a while.

"This this…"

At this moment, Zhang Xu thought a lot. Is the county government really unaware of Chang Qingzi's death? If they knew, why would they issue a demon elimination mission, and why would they send him to Songyan Mountain? If they didn't know, what should he do?

Zhang Xu is not a fool. Now he understands that the county government has most likely known about Chang Qingzi's death. At the same time, he finally understands why this good job fell on him, because this is not a good job at all, but a bad job. , and you may even lose your life as a result.

"Don't be so panicked. Sit down. Going back further, you and I should be considered a family."

Looking at the pale Zhang Xu, he put down his teacup and spoke. The reason why the other party was selected by the county government to serve as a messenger was not only unlucky, but also because his surname was Zhang, and he could be related to the Zhang family in Pingyang for several generations. .

This blood relationship is so weak that it can be ignored. It is far from being regarded as the Zhang family in Pingyang, but it is a connection to some extent and may save the other party's life. After all, under normal circumstances, this official document is to dig up the roots of Changqingguan, a messenger to catch the police. It is very likely that someone will vent their anger and kill him.

A Zhang Jiazi, an ordinary policeman, the result can be imagined.

From scratch, I got a little understanding of Zhang Chunyi's acting style at the county government office.

Hearing this, Zhang Xu was still in shock, but feeling Zhang Chunyi's kindness, he still cupped his hands and thanked Zhang Chunyi, but did not sit down.

"Now I am in charge of Evergreen Temple. You can call me Zhang Chunyi. If you have anything, you can tell me."

Looking at Zhang Xu who was still uneasy, Zhang Chunyi did not force himself. In fact, Zhang Chunyi already had some guesses about his intention.

Hearing this, Zhang Xu became more and more uneasy. He felt that the official document and letter in his arms were like a soldering iron, burning his flesh and heart. Although the other party still maintained goodwill, he would still be angry after reading the official document. Is that so? This official document is completely a reminder to the current Changqingguan.

He put his hand into his arms, and it was obviously a piece of official document, but Zhang Xu didn't twitch for several times.

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Chunyi didn't feel any impatience.

"This is an official document issued by the county government to eliminate demons. Master Zhang Xian has been asked to read it."

With his hands trembling slightly, Zhang Xu took a few steps forward and handed the official document to Zhang Chunyi.

After taking the document and scanning it with his eyes, Zhang Chunyi's expression remained unchanged, which was pretty much what he expected.

In the name of the Dali Dynasty, all the sects were vassals of the dynasty and had the obligation to serve the dynasty. However, until now, in actual implementation, most of the sects basically listened to the instructions but not the propaganda.

Focusing on local areas, especially those far away from the center, if a county magistrate wants to handle local government affairs well, most of the time he has to establish good relations with the local powerful people and clans and get their support, and these powerful people and clans will not do this. It's too much, hello, me, hello everyone.

The demon eradication order is a manifestation of the power of the dynasty. When a demon disaster occurs, the local government can issue the demon eradication order to the local sect, requiring the local sect to kill the monster.

Of course, dynasties will usually give corresponding rewards for such tasks, and sects will generally not refuse. After all, for immortal cultivators, slaying demons is also a way to harvest resources, and raising monsters is not cheap.

"Master Zhang Xian, this is the letter that my master asked me to give to the Master of Changqing Temple."

Looking at Zhang Chunyi, whose face remained unchanged after reading the Demon Exorcism Order, Zhang Xu hesitated and took out a letter from his arms.

At this moment, he finally understood why this letter was for Master Changqing and not for Immortal Master Changqingzi.

After taking the letter and reading it, Zhang Chunyi's handsome face showed a smile, which was a bit cold.

In the letter, the county magistrate Jia Sidao first expressed his condolences for the death of Changqingzi, and then emphatically elaborated on his own difficulties. Chaos in Changhe County has begun to appear, and monsters are frequent. He can fight for a winter for Changqingguan. Time is running out.

As the only sect in Changhe County, Changqing Guan must set an example in this troubled autumn, kill monsters, and contribute to the stability of Changhe County. Otherwise, other forces will be dissatisfied. After all, Changqing Guan occupies a lot of Changhe County. Few benefits.

In the end, Jia Sidao also expressed euphemistically that Changqingguan could refuse the demon eradication order, and he would mediate it, as long as Changqingguan gave up some of its benefits.

"Without Changqingzi, Changqing Temple will naturally exist in name only. Although it needs to give up the most important Songyan Mountain, it is good to be able to escape unscathed. It is not unsightly to look at. This should be related to my identity as Zhang Jiazi."

"Changhe County is under Pingyang County. The Zhang family still has some prestige here, but I am not the same person now."

Putting away the letter, Zhang Chunyi already made a decision in his mind.
