The Staff of Thousand Witch Sect was stolen from the Jieguijing in Heming Mountain and placed it with Zhang Daoling's "Nine Cauldrons Book". It was hidden in a secret room by Xu You for many years and has never been revealed.

The Thousand Witch Cult is popular in the settlements of barbarians in the four prefectures of Jingyong and Xiangyi. It is an orthodox god believed by many barbarians. This staff is the spoil seized by Zhang Daoling when he wiped out the Thousand Witch Cult. Later, after investigation by the secret palace, it should be a holy object of the Thousand Witch Cult.

The origin of Cang Chu is almost certainly the son of a mountain master with a very high status in Wuxi Barbarians, because only with such a background is qualified to read and learn Chinese.

"Qingming, go and call Cang Chu in!"

Xu You had not fallen asleep yet, and Cang Chu, who was the captain of the personal soldiers, naturally would not sleep. He was waiting in the side room in the front yard. He heard Qingming's call and immediately came to the back hall. Seeing Xu You and He Ru looking up and down at the same time, he felt a little distressed and said, "Master Huang, what's the matter with me?"

"How long have you been away from Wuxi?" He Ru asked with a smile.

"It's been ten years, I can't remember it!"

"The Grand Marshal intends to order you to be the sixth-rank General Yun Yong to join the Nanman School Captain's Mansion and assist the new Nanman School Captain Xue Xuanmo to quell the barbarian rebellion. Are you willing?"

Cang Chu is now the seventh-rank General Mingwei. The promotion is extremely slow. Xu You intends to suppress these close people, so as not to be impatient, be used and cause trouble.

"Go back to Wuxi?"

Cang Chu was stunned. Since his father and brother were all killed in battle and were captured and sold to Qiantang as slaves, he still had the intention to escape back to Wuxi. However, after following Xu You, he had seen the vast world and the vision of the tribe chasing for several lifetimes was really childish and ridiculous. He had long stopped the idea of ​​interacting with him again, and just wanted to follow Xu You and do his best to do his duty.

"The Lord needs me to go back, and I firmly obey the orders!"

"Don't be so nervous, let you go back. First, you are familiar with the situation there, and second, the court does not want to go to war with the barbarians. Your task is to coordinate in the center and try to understand their demands. If the conditions are harsh, you can fight first, and then fight to promote harmony..."

Cang Chu touched his head and said embarrassedly: "Master Huang, do you already know?"

Xu You smiled and said, "When I first met you, I guessed that you were an important figure in the barbarians. However, the barbarians are also people from Chu. As long as they are willing to do things with their heart and their background is not important, I will treat everyone equally."

Cang Chu revealed the causes and consequences. His original surname was Xiang Cang, and he was the young master of the largest branch of the Panhu Man. During the Yong'an period, his father was elected as a master of the Wuxi Man, who was the leader of the Wuxi Man. He led the crowd to rebel, and later was defeated and died.

Wuxi Barbarians suffered heavy losses, so they have been stable for more than ten years. After finally regaining their vitality, they have habitually raised the anti-bank. It can be said that the world has been turbulent and dynasties have changed for hundreds of years. The only thing that remains unchanged is the barbarians' will to rebel. The court either suppresses or appeases them, but they have not cured the root cause, which is quite a headache.

Xu You used Cang Chu to make up his mind to completely solve the problem of the Southern Barbarians. Otherwise, if you stab you from time to time, it would not cause much damage and would waste energy.

At this time, Qingming took the staff from the secret room. Cang Chuteng stood up, his hands trembled excitedly, and said, "Purple Blue Scepter? Is this the Purple Blue Scepter?"

He Ru asked, "Do you know the origin of this stick?"

"Not only do I know it, but everyone in Wuxi barbarians know it. This is the magical staff used by the witch ancestor worshipped by the Thousand Witch Sect. There are two purple and green snakes in sanitation. Only by holding the magical staff can the witch ancestor be recognized by the witch ancestor, and practice the technique of calling the wind and rain, expelling ghosts and silence evil spirits..."

Xu You smiled and said, "Okay, now I'll give you the magic wand, you are the contemporary leader of the Thousand Witch Sect!"

"ah?"

Cang Chu opened his mouth bigger than when he saw the magic scepter. He reacted and hurriedly refused, saying, "I, I can't... I don't understand witchcraft..."

He Ru smiled and said, "Witchcraft is actually very simple. It is to collect shock, tomb-paint, toss, to cover the bowl, to thank the land and to have a dragon, to consecrate the seat, to draw life and replace death, to draw water to eliminate evil, to fight yellow altars, burn night paper, to extradition, to pray for the sun and pray for rain, to go to the temple of Changtuan, etc. No matter which ritual, it is all for exorcism, to drive away evil spirits, to seek peace in the four seasons, and to prosper the six animals. In summary, there are only five words: blowing, dancing, playing, singing, and dancing. I have mastered the five-character secret, and I have a magical staff to protect my body. You are the leader of the Thousand Witch Sect."

In the next few days, He Ru quickly trained Cang's office in the extreme mode to become a qualified leader, and Xu You asked Jiang Xingzong to go to the Nanman School Guard's Mansion to supervise the battle according to the plan.

As expected, Jiang Xingzong was afraid and said he was sick and refused to court. Then Xu You handed over the information about Chen Jingwen's abuse of punishment and harsh government and aroused civil unrest to the Taiwan Provincial Committee of the Taiwan Provincial Committee and decided to call him back to Beijing for accountability.

Tan Xiaozu recommended Xue Xuanmo to take over as the captain of the Southern Barbarians. Xu You expressed his support. Liu Ning was very strange recently. Xu You supported him, and he never opposed it. Xie Xiwen put state affairs first. Xue Xuanmo was indeed proficient in military affairs. He used it to suppress rebellion to make full use of his talents and also supported him. The military bosses and the political bosses agreed. Even if others had different opinions, they dared not argue and proposed to pass it smoothly.

Without Jiang Xingzong's slander, An Xiuyuan was neither understanding nor interested in these things. He readily used the seal and took Zhu Youzhun, Sun Chaozhi and other favorite ministers out of the palace for fun in vain.

An Xiuyuan was particularly disgusted with the clothes of the gentry and liked to wear short clothes and folds. In addition to going to court, he always dressed up in the palace. Not to mention the bare-shirted shoes, he would do whatever he felt comfortable when he left the palace. He didn't like to bring the imperial guards. He only had twenty personal guards following him and traveled around. When he saw something new, he didn't give him any money and snatched it directly. If the people dared to bother, the guards rushed forward, filled with old fists and left.

However, about a month ago, a family was robbed of goods and cried endlessly, hugging their legs and pulling their clothes, angering An Xiuyuan. He drew his sword and slashed and slashed him like crazy, but ended up killing three people and seriously injured five people.

Since Zhang Ji was forced to resign, the Censorate's combat effectiveness has been worse than before. Although such a scandal happened, only seven or eight Censors wrote memorials and satirized memorials.

An Xiuyuan grew up quickly in the struggle and knew that he could not confront the censors head-on. He kept all the memorials of the Censorate and did not read them at all, and ignored them, and for a while, he would naturally stop.

Immediately, Xu You, Liu Ning, Xie Xiwen and Tao Jiang, four ministers of the regent, joined forces to enter the palace. Xu You was furious and severely criticized An Xiuyuan's actions. He admitted his mistakes very poorly and promised not to make them again in the future.

What else can the ministers do?

The Ministry of Revenue can only come forward to provide generous pensions to the people who died and injured, which is considered to be a solution. But through this incident, An Xiuyuan realized the power of the imperial power. No matter how powerful Xu You and the others are, they dare not treat the emperor. At most, they just persuade, persuade, persuade... If you don't take it seriously, what can you do to me?

An Xiuyuan was honest for a month and couldn't help but leave the palace again while Xu You was busy dealing with the matter of the Southern Barbarians. Due to the sudden heavy rain, he moved from Dongcheng to Nancheng and did not find any fun. He then left the fence gate from Nancheng and came to the foot of the Tushan Mountain. When he was bored, he saw a hunchbacked old man pulling a cart of firewood and walking in the rain with difficulty.

He had never seen a hunchbacked man with his chest almost close to his knees and his back bent into a bridge. He immediately became interested and jumped onto a truck from behind and shouted, "Old man, work harder, yeah, go to your house to shelter from the rain!"

Suddenly, the weight of more than 100 kilograms was increased. The old man's legs became weak and he staggered into the puddle. His mouth, nose and clothes were covered with mud. He finally got up and bowed his hands to beg for mercy.

Sun Chaozhi scolded: "This is General Li. It is your fate to go to your house. Why don't you hurry up?"

My surname is Li, and An Xiuyuan thought he was my name, and he forced his surname to be Li, calling himself General Li.

The old man had no choice but to pull Chaiche and An Xiuyuan back home with force. There was also a girl in his twenties in his family. She was stupid since childhood and had never married. She looked ordinary. However, An Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Although I have played with many girls, I have never tried stupid... It is God's will to meet them today!"

As he said that, he rushed over in public. The girl was not concerned, lying on the ground and laughing, allowing An Xiuyuan to make a move. The old man cried and wailed, and was held hostage by Sun Chaozhi and Zhu Youzhun into the house, tied it with a rope, and then blocked his mouth. Then he watched An Xiuyuan with his guards and made a bet with a smile, betting for two quarters of an hour, two hours, and bet for fifty thousand yuan.

Sun Chaozhi, who had been betting for two hours, was obviously going to lose, but An Xiuyuan heard that Long Yan was very happy and rewarded him with 100,000 yuan. Not only did he earn 50,000 yuan, he also won the holy favor, which was worth it!

However, even Sun Chaozhi and Zhu Youzhun did not expect that they had just been dew all night, but An Xiuyuan seemed to be obsessed with a silly girl. He left the palace every day for five days and even held flowers in hand to invite the girl to travel around the mountains and rivers.

The people were talking behind their backs, and the matter was quickly spread to the palace. The empress dowager felt that it was really not good. Zhao An Xiuyuan advised: "...If you really like that girl, take the person into the palace as soon as possible. Even if she is not in good spirits, she must have a reputation. I will take care of her. No one in the palace dares to bully her. But if she is outside the palace, if she is pregnant, she will not be able to explain it clearly in the future..."

Queen Mother You never asked about the affairs of the palace and only ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name in Xianyang Palace. This time, because she was worried about her offspring, she persuaded An Xiuyuan with kind words, hoping that he could properly place the silly girl, restrain herself a little, and save some decentness for the royal family.

An Xiuyuan returned to Tai Chi Hall and smashed a lot of things angrily. The more he thought about it, the more he hated him. His eyes were spitting out, and he said, "Chaozhi, go, get me some poison that is blood-sealed. I want to poison this nosy old woman..."

Sun Chaozhi was so scared that he was half-hearted that he knew that the murder of the Empress Dowager could not be hidden from Xu You. Once it was exposed, his whole family would have to be buried with him. He racked his brains and finally came up with a way to advise him, saying: "If the Empress Dowager dies, Your Majesty will be filial to the courtesy, how can he still enter and exit the palace freely?"

An Xiuyuan thought that this is indeed the truth. He could still bear it when he heard the Queen Mother’s noise, but if he couldn’t leave the palace, he might as well let him die.

"Well!"

Unable to kill the queen mother, but he was able to kill the person who caused this incident. An Xiuyuan immediately left the palace and headed straight to the silly girl's house. The poor girl didn't know the danger, so she smiled at An Xiuyuan, and was shot in the chest by him with an arrow. She died of anger.

The hunchbacked old man beat the ground with his hands and said angrily: "The foolish lord, the foolish lord!"

An Xiuyuan ordered people to hold his head and feet, crush him with force, and said grimly, "I see if you are so hunched back, can you pull it straight..."

Click.

The old man was broken and died of pain.
