Chapter Thirty Breakthrough

  Looking at the broken wine jar and the empty cell, the big man's face was unpleasant, and after a moment of thought, he said: "Damn it, I've been deceived. The one caught is not that little guy, but just a substitute."

  After finishing speaking, he glanced at the prison guard beside him: "What are you still stunned for, hurry up and open the cell door".

  At this time, Da Han had already lost his sense of proportion. The little jailer heard Da Han's rebuke and didn't dare to persuade him, so he obediently opened the prison door.

  Han took a big step forward and looked at the broken wine jar: "Damn it's cunning".

  After finishing speaking, he hastily left, but when he walked to the door of the county magistrate's room, the big man suddenly calmed down, then patted his thigh: "Damn it, I've been deceived again".

  After finishing speaking, he hastily walked back and forth, looking at the still calm heavy prison, Da Han finally let out a sigh of relief, looking at the soldiers on both sides: "Has there been anything unusual during this period?"

  The prison guard shook his head: "Boss, nothing unusual."

  Pushing aside the jailer who was blocking his way, Da Han once again entered the prison and looked at the broken wine jar. He then kicked another intact wine jar, which fell over without spilling a single drop of wine.

  The great Han saw this and his face turned even more unsightly. He punched a fist on the wall: "Indeed, I was deceived!"

  The prison guard looked at the leader of the mountain bandits with a puzzled expression: "Boss, what's going on here?"

  The leader of the mountain bandits looked at the prison guard and said with a sigh, "We've been tricked. Actually, when that kid first shot the wine jar to pieces, he was still inside this big prison, he hadn't left yet."

  "At first, I thought we were being played by this kid, just catching a substitute, but later I thought, this wine jar was actually empty, and the incarnation absolutely couldn't drink."

  The Great Han's face changed: "Fang Xian Dao is really formidable, not only are his methods formidable, but also his wisdom is unmatched. At that time, if I had ordered the deployment of 300 crossbow arrows to shoot randomly, that little guy might have been shot dead. It was all because of my carelessness and being deceived by this little guy with some unknown method."

  At this point, Da Han slammed his fist against the wall in annoyance.

  The prison guard's eyes widened in surprise and he smacked his lips: "This little guy is really something, actually slipping away right under our noses."

  It's not funny to be fooled by someone. The big Han didn't bother to argue with this little guy, he was thinking about how to talk to the county magistrate, how not to get scolded. This cooked duck, the credit that was within reach just flew away, it would be strange if the county magistrate didn't scold him to death.

  "Old master, someone is here." A knock at the door woke up the county magistrate.

  The county magistrate, still half asleep, heard the voice of his most trusted subordinate and pushed away the two jade legs on top of him. He put on his clothes and opened the door: "It's Biaozi, what brings you here so early in the morning?"

  Biaozi, the leader of the mountain bandits, licked his lips and looked at the county magistrate with sleepy eyes, forcing himself to say: "Something has happened to your lordship."

  The county magistrate sat down with a bad temper and took a sip of tea: "I was sitting here peacefully, what could possibly happen".

  Biaozi glanced at County Magistrate and then lowered his head: "Your Honor, something has happened on the side of the heavy prison."

  "Huh? What was that? What did you say?" The county magistrate, now fully awake and alert, asked loudly.

  Now that it's been said, there's nothing to be afraid of. Biaozi said: "Master, the Fangxiandao cultivator we caught that day was just a puppet incarnation. This morning, the duty officer discovered and reported it."

  This mountain bandit leader still has a bit of cunning, and doesn't dare to tell the truth, otherwise the county magistrate would have skinned him alive.

  Slowly putting down the tea cup in his hand, County Master Taigong regained his composure: "Since his puppet has appeared here, his true body is not far from here. You immediately go and issue a wanted notice to capture him throughout the county."

  "Biaozi" retreated after following the instructions of County Magistrate Tao.

  "Hold on a minute" Just as he was about to step out of the door, County Master spoke up again.

  "Is there anything else you'd like to instruct, sir?" Biaozi bowed and said.

  The county magistrate's green bean eyes lit up again: "Have those mountain bandits' families all been ruined by someone?"

  "Is." Bozi said respectfully.

  The county magistrate stroked his beard: "Then do some personal things, this mountain stronghold will have to be rebuilt anyway. You personally go and manufacture some cases, even if there are no mountain bandits, you must force out the mountain bandits for me, otherwise my income will be affected."

  The county magistrate, in order to have mountain bandits do things for him, actually didn't mind ruining the lives of his own people, forcing them to flee to Liangshan, and it's really... no wonder he doesn't live up to the "Qin" character on his official uniform.

  Since ancient times, civil officials have worn birds on their official robes, while military officials have worn beasts. The entire court is full of both civil and military officials.

  Biaozi heard this and a drop of cold sweat fell from his forehead, this county magistrate was too black-hearted. He had done such things before, but there was always a sense of awe in people's hearts, especially when they had committed many evil deeds. Moreover, with all these gods flying around, who knows which powerful being might take a dislike to him and strike him dead with one palm.

  But now he is under the county magistrate's command, and if he doesn't follow his superior's orders, he will be the one to suffer.

  Chen Jiu was already standing outside the county town, looking back at the county town. A cold smile appeared on Chen Jiu's mouth: "The officials and bandits colluded, I didn't expect it to happen right in front of my eyes. This corrupt official doesn't care about the people, but instead harms them, he really deserves to die a thousand deaths".

  After finishing speaking, Chen Jiu walked towards the place where he hid his gold not far away, took a look at his mark which was still intact and didn't take out the treasure, but instead headed deeper into the mountains.

  "This young master lives in a thatched cottage on this deep mountain, feeling that the breakthrough of his magical powers is not far away. I'd like to see what divine abilities the second layer of heaven has. After breaking through the second layer of heaven, it's still possible to find that dog official and settle accounts."

  After finishing, Chen Jiu hacked at the shrub for a while, and after expending the strength of nine oxen and two tigers, he finally set up a shed. Looking at his tattered clothes, Chen Jiu simply tore them off, only wrapping a piece around his waist.

  "The thirty-three heavens are the creation of the universe, operating according to the heavenly way. Supreme and unparalleled, all living things in heaven and earth, even the entire Daxian world, are not beyond the creation of heaven and earth. And these thirty-three heavens of mine are precisely meant to control the creation of all heavens."

  "It's also unknown whether the creator of this mantra is a madman or a genius, but such a technique can actually be created, and it even wants to control the Heavenly Way, follow the way of heaven and earth, with thunder and rain as its heavenly power."

  I have been sitting here for three days, feeling the mighty power of the Heavenly Way, following that thread of Qi, to feel the Great Way of Heaven and Earth, seeking a breakthrough in the obscure mechanism.

  At the moment when the first purple air was born between heaven and earth, Chen Jiu suddenly took a breath, and the endless purple air was instantly absorbed into his own divine seed.

  Perhaps with the help of this purple energy, or perhaps it was the breakthrough of his Qi mechanism that had finally arrived, Chen Jiu only felt a sudden explosion in his mind, as if a thunderbolt had struck, and countless petals of heavenly flowers fell from the sky, while golden lotuses burst forth one after another on the ground.

  A strange thread of silk appeared in Chen Jiu's mind, and his spiritual consciousness was like a bee smelling honey, involuntarily flying up to it, instantly merging with the Tao.

  In an instant, Chen Jiu became lost in the trajectory of that law, countless heavenly principles and the art of changing laws were absorbed by the divine seed, becoming its nourishment. The divine seed was slowly undergoing changes, and those originally somewhat illusory fine threads began to have a bit of solidity.

  Time flies, Chen Jiu is in seclusion. Outside the county town has recently been turned upside down. There are frequent cases of theft, missing persons, murders, and framing cases. For a time, the entire county town seems to have become a chaotic mess. The people's grievances are overwhelming, even the lion formed by the aura of the guardian official mansion is limp and lifeless, with a hint of vagueness, as if it wants to disappear.

  The county government's gate is about to be trampled, but the current county official is a muddle-headed official, who wears a crown on his head and judges cases randomly, resulting in countless miscarriages of justice. Countless young men have lost their families and homes, and have no choice but to become outlaws.

  The bandits who had originally disappeared suddenly flourished again, and the mountains and forests were often filled with the sound of robbers. Traveling merchants all lost their courage because of this and had to take a detour.

  In short, because of this Chen Jiu guy, the whole county is filled with resentment.
