Chapter 181: The Bad Guys’ Invitation, Calculating the Universe

Along the way, Lou Xiaoyun's voice never stopped.
She seemed to be a chatterbox, chattering non-stop. Even if Li Daoxuan didn't respond, she would continue talking.
Through her words, Li Daoxuan also had a deeper understanding of the Bad People.
There are not many bad people in the court, and most of them are monks of Louguan Taoism. It is too difficult for them to guard the world.
Therefore, the imperial court divided the states into three levels according to the population of each state. States with a population of 30,000 households or more were upper states, with three bad people in charge. States with a population of between 20,000 and 30,000 households were middle states, with one bad person in charge.
As for the lower state with a population of less than 20,000, there are currently no monks stationed there. If there is an emergency, they can only report it to their superiors and then temporarily transfer personnel, but this will take a lot of time.
This is also the reason why many strange things happened in Hongzhou, but no official monks arrived yet, because Hongzhou is a lower state.
Xuanzhou is the Central Province, and Lou Xiaoyun is the bad guy in charge of this province.
Don't be fooled by her harmless girlish appearance. She holds considerable power. In some aspects, even the governor of Xuanzhou has to listen to her.
The reason why Lou Xiaoyun came to Liling City this time was that he received news that many people in Liling City had died mysteriously in recent days. They all died suddenly from a broken cervical vertebra without any external injuries, which was very strange.
The people said that it was a headless ghost seeking revenge, and it had gradually caused panic.
On her way here, she noticed the weirdness of Zhaofu River and wanted to get rid of the dirt in the river.
Before today, she had actually fought with the female ghost of Zhaofu River several times. The female ghost was no match for her, so she hid at the bottom of the river and never came out again.
In order to lure the female ghost out, she decided to disguise herself as a man and blend in with the people crossing the river to lure the female ghost out.
As it turned out, her plan was successful, but the female ghost of Zhaofu River took advantage of the old boatman and almost made her a ghost in the river.
What made Li Daoxuan laugh and cry was that Lou Xiaoyun often secretly looked at the vertical mark between his eyebrows while talking, and it was obvious that he was very curious about his third eye.
If it were in later generations, he would definitely be a die-hard fan of Erlang Shen.
They soon arrived at Liling City and stopped at the city gate.
"Miss Lou, my master and I still have things to do, so let's say goodbye here."
Lou Xiaoyun bit her red lips and finally stated the purpose of wanting to travel together this time.
She looked at Li Daoxuan with her big watery eyes and said hopefully, "Brother Dao, are you willing to... join the Bad People?"
As if she knew that her action was very sudden, she hurriedly explained: "Brother Dao, I can feel that you have a heart to slay demons and eliminate evil. In this case, why don't you join us?"
"We will not restrict your freedom. We only require you to help us once every three years. Apart from that, no matter what medicinal herbs, magical instruments, or caves you need, we will try our best to help you find them !"
Her eyes were filled with sincerity as she said, "If you are willing to join the Bad People, I believe the headmaster will teach you all the secrets of our Louguan Dao. And His Majesty, His Majesty is a good emperor who values ​​talent the most and will definitely regard you as his right-hand man!"
This was the reason why she tracked him with the Dragon-Seeking Plate and begged for a companion, just to win over Li Daoxuan!
After the dragon slaying in Hongzhou, Li Daoxuan's name had gradually spread. Even His Majesty had heard about the Taoist who slayed the dragon. Anyone could see that he was a rising star in Taoism and would be at least another Zhang Qianyang in the future.
Moreover, unlike Zhang Qianyang, Li Daoxuan is not of Zhang family blood and is destined to never become the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain in the future. This gives the imperial court an opportunity to recruit him.
Want to become a heavenly master?
No problem. I'll give you an imperial edict. You can write down any title you want. The emperor will confer the title on you and it will be known throughout the world. No matter how great the fame is, I can give you.
The herbs that those monks have to go to the deep mountains and old forests to search for, such as hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and hundred-year-old ginseng, are not lacking in the court's treasury. There are also quite a few fine gold and black iron.
Lou Xiaoyun offered almost the best conditions. She believed that if the head master and His Majesty knew about it, they would definitely think so. Taoist Zhanlong deserved this treatment.
However, to her disappointment, Li Daoxuan shook his head slightly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Lou. I have no intention of joining the government for the time being, but maybe one day in the future, I will go to Chang'an to take a look."
Li Daoxuan politely declined, but he did not say anything final because he had a grand plan in his mind that required the help of the imperial court. If successful, his strength would continue to advance by leaps and bounds, and he would become an immortal in the shortest possible time!
But he is not strong enough to realize that plan.
Lou Xiaoyun was a little disappointed, but everyone has their own aspirations, so she couldn't force it. She could only bow and say, "Then Xiaoyun will take her leave first. If you change your mind, you can come to the governor's mansion to find me at any time!"
She turned around like a frost-bitten eggplant.
"Wait a moment."
Li Daoxuan suddenly shouted, and then he saw her turn around suddenly with sparkling eyes.
"Brother, have you changed your mind?"
Li Daoxuan shook his head, looked at her and asked a question.
"Miss Lou, those people who crossed the river before spoke ill of you, why did you still try to save them?"
Lou Xiaoyun said without hesitation: "Because it was me who put them in danger."
Li Daoxuan was stunned.
"Brother Dao, the people just want to live so badly. I think they must have families waiting for them to return. Besides, as bad people, it's nothing to suffer some grievances."
After a pause, she looked at the vertical wrinkle between Li Daoxuan's eyebrows and smiled brightly.
"Brother Dao, the one I admire most is True Lord Erlang Xiansheng. If he were True Lord, he would definitely not stand by and watch someone die."
After saying this, she bowed gracefully, then turned and left, her figure gradually disappearing in the crowd.
Li Daoxuan looked at her back, thoughtfully.
Zhang Qianyang sighed and said with a smile: "I never thought that the old fox Yuan Tiangang would have such a simple and kind disciple. It's rare."
The two entered Liling City.
It is worthy of being the city of Zhongzhou. It is many times larger than Longyou County. It is very prosperous and lively, with crowded streets and constant flow of businessmen and travelers.
The ground is paved with blue bricks, clean and spacious. Looking around, the shops are neatly arranged, the streets are wide, and there are exquisite pavilions in the distance.
The haunting atmosphere of worldly life filled Li Daoxuan's face, and he unexpectedly felt as if he were in another world.
Zhang Qianyang's nose twitched, and he suddenly said, "Disciple, let's go find your uncle separately."
"Master, what does my uncle look like?"
Zhang Qianyang said without hesitation: "If you see a fortune teller who speaks the most arrogantly and makes you want to beat him up, it must be him!"
Li Daoxuan was speechless. How could this be described?
After Zhang Qianyang said this, he used the art of shrinking the earth and headed towards the east as if he couldn't wait.
Li Daoxuan smiled bitterly. Master must have smelled the aroma of wine, so he couldn't wait to go to the street market in the east to get some wine.
Shaking his head, he walked west.
After walking for a long time, I met several fortune tellers, but none of them fit what the master said.
Just when he was about to give up, a large flag caught his attention.
There are two lines of big characters on the flag.
"The hearing of the gods is like thunder, knowing clearly the present and past lives; the eyes of gods are like lightning, seeing through the immortal world and the human world."
The horizontal banner has four big characters.
Calculate everything!
