 The Case of the Cat Ghost Chapter 1 Changan Moonlight Night, Killing the Demon Envoy

    In the tenth year of Jingyuan in Tianchao, mid-July.

    On the Qiqiao Festival, Chang'an is never dark and brightly lit.

    On the banks of the moat, painted boats come and go.  String music, silk and bamboo are extravagant to the ear, and the dancing girl starts in the wind.

    Oiran stands at the bow of the boat, holding a pipa in his arms, with his sleeves fluttering.

    On the top of the tower, there is a young man in brocade clothes wearing a black bullfighting robe and a black gauze hat, sitting casually, watching the oiran dance in the wind while bathing in the cool evening breeze.

    When he caught a glimpse of the graceful and colorful figure under the oiran's veil, Shen Cong whistled like those dandies who stretched their necks by the river and watched.

    At the end of the song and dance, the oiran stands on the three-inch golden lotus with one foot, and the silver bell tied to the jade foot is clearly visible.

    There was a lot of applause from the audience.

    Following the oiran's retreat, several playboys rushed to board the boat, you won't let me, I won't let you, almost making trouble.

    Shen Cong shook his head and smiled.

    Oh beauty is a disaster.

    All of a sudden, Shen Cong squinted.

    Demon spirit?

    He stood up slowly, took off the jade fan at his waist, and stepped out into the void.

    In the southeast corner of Chang'an, in a dead end, a golden halo suddenly appeared.  Along with the halo, Shen Cong stepped out of the halo.

    The moment he stepped out, the halo quickly disappeared.

    Shen Cong waved the jade-faced keel fan slightly in his hand, fluttering his nose.

    Rotten gas, bloody spread.

    is a man-eating goblin.

    The coldness between the brows flashed away, and Shen Cong suddenly unfolded the half-stacked fan, and the tip of the fan suddenly appeared golden light, which turned into strands of filaments and flew towards the end of the alley.

    A scream broke out.

    Shen Cong walked forward, turning the jade fan with his wrist, and the jade fan emitted a soft golden light, illuminating the place.

    Into the eyes was a half-eaten human corpse, and a mangy dog ??that had been punctured in the belly and had already vomited blood.

    "Whoever kills life indiscriminately, Jin Yiwei will not stay. In the next life, I will do it myself."

    After Shen Cong finished speaking, he closed his fan and squatted down, touched the dog's head with one hand, and stretched out his hand into the void.

    The ancient golden formation in the void suddenly appeared, and a wisp of breath floated from the dog's head, flying from Shen Cong's fingertips to the formation.

    When passing through the formation, the breath turned into the appearance of a mangy dog, and along with the formation, it disappeared into the center of Shen Cong's eyebrows.

    "Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing Ding Xiang's second-grade mangy dog ??spirit and getting a random first-grade elixir!"

    A mechanical sound suddenly sounded in his mind, Shen Cong didn't care, got up and left a pinched kit on the corpse, then picked up the mangy dog's corpse and turned away.

    Shen Cong is not from this world.

    He used to be an idle white-collar worker. After staying up late one day and dying suddenly, he was accidentally bound by a demon-slaying system, and began to replace the original owner in various planes to slay demons and cultivate immortals.

    This plane is the first low-level plane he encountered.  Martial arts practice is paramount, and spiritual cultivation is a legendary existence.

    In this life, Shen Cong is the Seventh Prince of the Celestial Dynasty in this fictional world.

    Shen Yunqing, the founding emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, is his father.

    As for the Celestial Dynasty and the Former Dynasty, it was the famous Ming Dynasty in history.  At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the court was turbulent and the regime was corrupt. Shen Yunqing couldn't bear the displacement of the people, so he overthrew the decadent Ming Dynasty and established his own political power. The country name was Tian and the year name was Jingyuan.

    In the north of the Central Plains, the Turkic Huns stared at each other, Dali occupied Yunnan in the south, Japanese pirates harassed the frontiers in the east, and Persia and Rome locked the Silk Road in the west.

    A hundred countries coexist, and the world is restless.

    His father, that is, Emperor Jingyuan, followed the Ming Dynasty, followed the principle that the king died in the country and the emperor guarded the country, and established the capital of Chang'an in the north.

    After the eldest son was established as the prince, the battle for the throne began quietly.

    Shen Cong had no intention of imperial power and hegemony, so he joined Jin Yiwei's secret department, and began to slay demons and cultivate immortals from the Yamen.

    Jin Yiwei notes, the bright part catches people, and the dark part kills demons.

    Anbu has an unwritten rule.

    All monsters on the list can be caught.  Anyone who fails to reveal the list three times will be regarded as incompetent and untrustworthy, and will be abolished and expelled from Jinyiwei, never to be hired.

    After a few years of being around, Shen Cong relied on his own ability to finally get a job as a headhunter.

    Now, he wants to take this mangy dog ??spirit to Anbu Duwei's Mansion for filing.

    At the beginning of Haishi.

    In front of Duwei's mansion, two Jinyiwei dressed in black flying fish robes stood at the door last night, letting go of their spiritual sense to perceive the surroundings.

    Shen Cong walked forward slowly, carrying the mangy dog.

    "Who is coming, please report"Come on!  "Jin Yiwei secretly held the Xiuchun knife at his waist, and immediately stopped it.

    "Slayer the demon envoy, Anbu Shen Cong." Shen Cong handed over a token, and after they identified it, he was about to enter.

    Sudden mutation.

    "Be careful!" A Jin Yiwei's complexion changed.

    A strange and cold breath came from behind Shen Cong.

    Shen Cong's face remained unchanged, and he threw the mangy dog's body forward: "I caught it, I want to file for the record."

    So he took out the jade fan at his waist, turned around and beat it.

    The spread out fan surface emitted cloud-like golden light, instantly enveloping the monster.  Seeing this, Shen Cong shook his jade fan, and the cloud and mist turned into chains with golden light, firmly locking the monster's eight meridians.

    "Weasel spirit, second rank of Ding Xiang, 25 years of Taoism." Shen Cong saw the monster clearly, and slowly opened his lips.

    This is the ability given to him by the system.  You only need to take a look at the ghosts and ghosts, and you can identify their deeds and real bodies.

    Shen Cong closed his fan and opened the weasel spirit's front paws, frowning slightly.

    Have never given a killing ring, but so manic.

    Seeing the weasel spirit staring at the dead mangy dog ??spirit with grief and resentment, Shen Cong raised his eyebrows, twisted his fingers and deduced it, and suddenly understood.

    This mangy dog ??is meticulously tied to the spirit of the weasel, and so is the spirit of the weasel.  In order to quickly improve his cultivation and protect the weasel spirit, the mangy dog ??had a crooked mind and started killing and eating people's vitality to improve his cultivation.

    There is love and righteousness, but the wrong way is used.

    "It has set a killing ring, you can't take it away." Shen Cong snapped his fingers, and the chain was closed.  He looked at the weasel spirit who fell to the ground, and smiled, "Let's go, I won't kill you."

    The weasel spirit wailed for a while, turned around and ran away.

    Shen Cong turned his head and was about to leave when he suddenly reached out and grabbed the void.

    Just hearing a wail, a monster fell to the ground impressively.

    It was the weasel spirit just now.

    "Master's patience is limited." Shen Cong tilted his head, and the corners of his smiling eyes became colder.

    After finishing speaking, Shen Cong narrowed his eyes slightly, and a wave of soul pressure suddenly struck.

    The weasel spirit flinched for a while, but was still unwilling to reconcile, and still stared closely at the mangy dog ??spirit whose body was already cold.

    "Whoever trespasses on the Duwei's mansion will be killed without mercy." Shen Cong ignored the weasel spirit, picked up the corpse of the goblin, and walked straight to the Duwei's mansion.

    The two Jinyiwei stared forward, completely ignoring the wandering weasel spirit.

    The weasel spirit straightened its neck and looked in.

    In the main hall of Duwei's Mansion, an ancient Xiuchun knife is hanging in the center.  The scabbard is somewhat worn, but it still feels cold.

    When seeing this Xiuchun knife, the weasel spirit trembled subconsciously.

    Before I heard about the Duwei's Mansion, there was another name.

    In that dynasty, this mansion was dedicated to catching monsters.

    It seems that

    The name is Huan Beizhen Fusi.

 The Case of the Cat Ghost Chapter 2: Leaving the list and chasing demons again

    The weasel spirit trembled.

    I heard from my mother that none of the monsters who entered Beizhen Fusi came out again.

    Its father is like this.

    It seems that it can't take Xiao Lang away.

    Thinking of this, the weasel spirit suddenly wailed, turned and ran away, and his figure instantly melted into the night.

    Shen Cong entered the Captain's Mansion, and after filing the monster, he looked up at the wooden fence.  Pasted on the wooden railings are all unexecuted lists.

    There is no sleepiness on the left or right, so why not catch that monster for some silver and buy a pot of good wine.

    Having made up his mind, Shen Cong slowly squinted his eyes, took out the list that he had uncovered this morning, and drew a line of spells on the list.

    "Fighting in battle, look for it!" Shen Cong shouted all over his body.

    The law follows what you say.

    The spell immediately melted into the portrait of the monster on the list, and a golden light as thin as a silver thread flew out of the portrait, drifting towards the painting boat not far away.

    Shen Cong stepped forward, a golden halo suddenly appeared, he walked into it, and in an instant came to an alley at the end of the painting.

    Putting the list into the sleeve robe, and taking out the jade-faced keel fan, Shen Cong slowly shook it while following the golden thread of light to search for it.

    In the depths of the alley, a strong stench disperses in the void.

    The smell of blood Another dead body.

    I'm late.

    Shen Cong frowned, folded the jade fan in his hand, held his breath, and quietly walked towards the bloody place.

    That is a wolfhound.

    The wolfhound's eyes were the same scarlet color as the mangy dog ??he caught just now.

    The eyes of monsters are mostly green, and the colors are different due to different monster powers.

    If the killing ring is opened, it is scarlet.  The heavier the killing spirit, the darker the color in the eyes.

    This wolfhound has already killed at least a dozen people.

    The wolfhound was gnawing on the human corpse, and suddenly its nose fluttered, and when it smelled a stranger, it suddenly turned around and stared coldly at the person who came.

    Realizing that Shen Cong is not a good stubbler, this guy immediately became vigilant.

    "A flat-headed wolf dog, Ding Xiang, third grade, thirty-seven years of Taoism." Shen Cong took a fan and tapped his palms unhurriedly, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Master treats you well, why did you kill his whole family?"  ?￣

    He knows all of this, all relying on the gossip deduction technique he learned in the previous plane.

    Not very delicate, but enough to deduce the past and the future.

    This wolf dog spirit is the monster on the list that he wants to arrest and bring to justice.

    "My wife and child guarded his house, but he didn't think of his wife and child's loyalty. He killed it and sold the meat for five taels. He even made soup for the child in his belly. I just retaliated with an eye and got back my wife and child's meat. What's wrong?  "

    The wolf dog sneered, but spit out words.  It's just that the voice is cold and ghostly.

    "After you killed them, because you were dissatisfied with the power of the human race, you continued to kill the common people, drinking blood and eating flesh, because you were dissatisfied with the power of the human race. Dozens of innocent people, old and weak, women and children, died tragically at your mouth. It's like an eye for an eye." Shen  Cong smiled.

    For the first time being stared at by the human race like this, the wolf dog became angry with embarrassment, spit out the meat in his mouth, and rushed towards Shen Cong.

    "If you do your own crimes, you can't live."

    Shen Cong unfolded the jade-faced keel fan, the fan glowed with golden light, and spiritual energy rushed out.

    I saw the aura transforming into a needle, facing it head-on.

    The wolfhounds dodged all of them, and ran forward again.

    Shen Cong waved his fan again without rushing.

    The flying needle is out again!

    Compared with just now, when the flying needle goes out, even the naked eye can't catch it.

    However, in the blink of an eye, countless flying needles sank into the wolf dog's body.

    The wolfdog suddenly twitched its limbs and fell to the ground with a plop.

    It stared directly at Shen Cong with sullen and unwilling eyes, looking rather creepy.

    "Who are you?" Before the wolf dog died, his eyes locked on Shen Cong.

    "Jin Yiwei Anbu, Demon Slaying Envoy Shen Cong." Shen Cong folded up his fan, dissipated the aura, and smiled.

    Before the wolfdog heard this, he vomited blood and died.

    Shen Cong silently shrugged.

    It is too weak, and it will die in one shot.

    He walked over and squatted down, reaching out and slowly touching its forehead.

    "The soul belongs to the underworld, the body belongs to Jinyiwei, and the cultivation base belongs to the way of heaven. The rest of the breath belongs to me."

    After saying this, a faint golden light came out of Shen Cong's well-proportioned fingertips.

    He stretched out his other hand towards the void, and a magic circle suddenly appeared.

    The breath of the wolf dog flew out from between the nostrils,The arm holding Shen Cong was drawn into the magic circle, and when it came out again, it turned into a phantom of a wolf dog.

    The formation, together with phantoms, poured into Shen Cong's body.

    "Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing Ding Xiang's third-rank flat-headed wolf dog spirit, and getting a random yellow-rank low-rank cheat book." The mechanical sound of the system immediately rang in Shen Cong's ears.

    Cheats are divided into four ranks of heaven, earth, black and yellow, and the yellow rank is the most inferior. However, in this low-level martial arts plane, the unique martial arts cheats such as the nine suns magic skills and the Jade Heart Sutra are already top-notch.

    However, it is still not enough for Shen Cong.

    After all, in the last few planes, he has practiced to the realm of the Great Emperor, returning to the basics-although the obtained skills can be brought to other planes, but if the cultivation realm is not enough, the system will not allow him to produce a super-level  Cheats.

    Therefore, in this plane, the practice is not enough, but it can only make do with it.

    Shen Cong got up, took out a kit from the Qiankun bag, and it was still on the human corpse after being pinched, and then he picked up the wolfdog corpse without changing his face, turned his head and left.

    Human corpses are not under his jurisdiction.  As long as he left the signal, the Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty would come to clean up.

    After handing over the corpse and the list to Anbu for reporting, Shen Cong paid the money and returned to his palace.

    The population of Prince Qin's mansion is sparse, and even though he is over sixteen years old, he has not married a concubine.  So much so that in the huge mansion, the servants plus him are only a few dozen people.

    It's one thing not to marry a concubine, and it's another thing for him not to be seen by his father.

    Several of his imperial brothers were all over the age of 28, but they were still kept in the palace and given titles when they were crowned kings. It took two years to grant the mansion and allow them to move out of the palace.

    When it came to Shen Cong, as soon as he was 28 years old, he was bestowed the title of King Qin by an imperial decree from Emperor Jing Yuan, and he was given the fief and the imperial city mansion, and he was invited out of the Chang'an Palace.

    The fief seems to have a vast territory, but there is not much oil and water.  Therefore, although Shen Cong was ranked as the prince, his salary was not as much as some officials in the court.  Most of the money came into the account, all thanks to his exposing the list and killing demons over the years.

    As for why he was not welcomed, Shen Cong thought, it was probably because of his mother.

    He and the Crown Prince Shen Yu were both descended from former empresses.

    When the queen mother gave birth to the prince, the sky was full of auspiciousness, but when the prince was born, there was a flood, and she collapsed to death.

    Emperor Jing Yuan and Xian Xian have always loved each other, so it is understandable that they don't want to see Shen Cong.

    However, Shen Cong didn't care about it.  There are no concubines and concubines, but I want to be at ease, without being surrounded by Yingying, Yanyan, and being disturbed by things in the backyard.

    Those beauties, just look at them and get addicted to your eyes.

    He is a person who wants to practice immortality and prove the Tao.

    After I got out of the bath, the time has passed.

 The Cat Ghost Case Chapter 3 The female ghost in white, in distress in the forest

    Shen Cong didn't feel sleepy, and after meditating in the room for a while, he suddenly opened his eyes.

    There was a ghostly face in his eyes, and his black eyes stared straight at himself.  In this dimly lit room, he just stood there, like a ghost in the night, permeating people tightly.

    "Being able to break into Lord's mansion is not a bad practice." Shen Cong stretched lazily.

    He has set up a restriction in the mansion, if there are monsters or other people trespassing at night, they will be severely disabled if they don't die.

    There is a lot of evil in this guy, and he can tell at a glance that he is not a good bird.

    He was able to escape his own restraint and quietly come to his own room, which shows the depth of his practice.

    Under the wide sleeves, he turned his hands secretly, and secretly twisted the formula in his heart.

    If you want to win this guy, you have to catch him by surprise.

    "I have heard that His Royal Highness King Qin is very talented, and he is a teacher of the immortal family. When I saw you today, it really is a waste of fame." The ghost-masked man smiled fiercely, moved suddenly, threw two darts, then turned his head and stepped out of the window.

    Shen Cong dodged sideways, grabbed the flying dart, got up and chased it out.

    Unexpectedly, after leaving the house, the ghost-faced man has disappeared.

    Squinting his eyes, Shen Cong rehearsed the formula and drew a spell on the dart.

    "Fighting in battle, look for it!"

    Following this low shout, the golden light of the spell appeared and melted into the dart.

    A ray of golden light suddenly shot out and headed towards the distant sky.

    Shen Cong took a step towards the void, and a golden halo immediately appeared, allowing him to step into it.

    When he landed again, he had already come to a suburb outside Chang'an City.

    In the bamboo forest ahead, cicadas were singing.

    Shen Cong was covered in black hair, sweating all over his body.

    It's really hot.

    Want to blow air conditioner.

    He pursed his lips, threw the dart, took out the jade-faced keel fan from his sleeve robe, held his breath, and carefully walked towards the bamboo forest step by step.

    Suddenly, there was a strange rustling sound from the depths of the bamboo forest.

    There is something strange!

    When the sound was captured, Shen Cong cast an enchantment in front of him out of instinct.

    The moment the barrier was formed, a rain of arrows flew out from the bamboo forest and rushed straight towards the barrier！the moment they touched the barrier, they sank directly into it.

    Then there was a lot of movement from the creek next to it.

    It turned out that this enchantment moved things from the air and directly moved the arrow rain into the creek.

    A clear and melodious flute sound suddenly came from the bamboo forest.

    In a trance, a white shadow danced in the bamboo forest.

    Bai Ying twisted his body in response to the sound of the flute, and his pair of jade-like feet were particularly clear in the bamboo forest.

    "Um！！"

    Manman is light, floating out from the bamboo forest.

    This voice is gentle and soft, crisp and numb. If it was an ordinary man, he would not be able to bear it when he heard it, and went to Wushan together in search of romance.

    Shen Cong narrowed his eyes slowly.

    It's nice to hear, but his nose told himself that there is a monster here.

    The woman inside is not a human race.

    Secretly holding the jade-faced fan tightly, Shen Cong walked slowly towards the bamboo forest.

    The moment he stepped into the bamboo forest, the sound of the flute stopped abruptly.

    Bai Ying seemed to have noticed something, lifted a light and fluffy dress, and ran deeper.

    With just one glance, Shen Cong has the information about this monster.

    To be precise, she is not a monster, but a ghost.

    However, demons and ghosts are all within his scope of killing demons.

    It's not a big problem.

    "Ghost girl in white, Ding Xiang Ninth Grade, ninety-nine years of Taoism. Less than a hundred years of Taoism, to be able to practice human deeds, the talent is pretty good." Slowly rubbing his chin, Shen Cong's eyes under his eyebrows flashed a dark color.

    In this world, monsters are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D, each with nine ranks, and a total of thirty-six levels of monsters.

    Among them, armored monsters are thousand-year-old monsters, and they are all just one step away from surviving the catastrophe.  Come on and kill him right away.

    Therefore, they seldom come and go, and most of them hide in the deep mountains and old forests, devoting themselves to cultivation.

    The monsters with the B phase can practice between 500 and 1,000 years, the monsters with the C phase can practice between 100 and 500 years, and the monsters with the Ding phase can live within 100 years.

    Ding Xiang's third-grade monster, if he is talented, he can spit out people's words.  And if you can cultivate to the ninth grade of Bingxiang, you will be a five-hundred-year-old monster, and you can cultivate a human form through a tribulation.

     If there are very talented people, or with the help of secret treasures, they can also quickly cultivate a human form.

    This ghost girl in white was formed out of a ray of resentment. It is really amazing that she has cultivated her spiritual wisdom and transformed into a human form in just a hundred years.

    She has the appearance of becoming a ghost emperor.

    only´´

    Resentment can only stay within dozens of miles of dead bodies, and this dense forest is where she was buried in her lifetime.

    There are no secret treasures here, did she really rely on her talent to cultivate human walk?

    Also, since she is a ghost, why is there still a ghost here?

    Shen Cong was a little suspicious.

    He walked inward without stopping, and when his eyes broke into a bamboo pavilion, he stopped slowly.

    Here, there is a woman in white wearing a veil sitting among them, gracefully stroking a long piano.

    The sound of the piano is melodious and pleasant, making the woman more gentle and demure.

    Shen Cong saw the strong yin energy in her body, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Girl, it's very shady and cool here, and there is no sunshine, so there is no need to cover up your face."

    It's really cool here, just like a natural air conditioner.

    The sound of the piano stopped suddenly.

    The woman raised her eyes and looked at Shen Cong, with a look of amazement in her eyes.

    Shen Cong inherited his father's good skin, and he was extremely good-looking.  Under the long eyebrows, You Na's pair of phoenix eyes seemed to be smiling all the time.

    It looks a bit yuppie.

    Such a young man should taste good, right?

    "My lord, my face is ugly, I dare not take off my veil." The woman lowered her eyes slowly, hiding the flash of coldness and greed in her eyes.

    "It's okay. I've seen uglier ones." Shen Cong didn't care.

    ""

    The woman raised her eyes, made a shy look, smiled slightly, and stretched out her hand to slowly remove the veil.

    Just like that, a terrifying face was revealed.  How pure and alluring her upper cheek is, how eerie and terrifying is her lower cheek.

    Below the bridge of the woman's nose are bones.  The bones cling to what looks like long-rotted flesh.  The carrion is green, and there are some small maggots visible to the naked eye, crawling and wriggling among the carrion.

    The moment she revealed the veil, a sharp air flew out from behind Shen Cong.

    Shen Cong took a step forward calmly, and a golden halo suddenly appeared, allowing him to step into it.

    The next moment, Shen Cong appeared behind the woman and slapped her on the back.

    "Ah!" A scream rang through the bamboo forest.

    Seeing the woman turn into a pool of white smoke, the guy who attacked Shen Cong suddenly became furious, and shouted in grief and indignation: "Auntie!"

    Shen Cong looked up, and it was the ghost face.

    It's him, he's a demon.

    Ghost-faced wolf demon, Bingxiang third grade, two hundred and thirty-two years of Taoism.

    This guy is a bit tricky.

    Shen Cong twisted the tactic slowly, urging the immortal technique in the jade-faced keel fan.

    "Stinky boy, I'm going to kill you!" The ghost-faced wolf demon sacrificed a long sword and ran towards Shen Cong with a low growl.

 The Case of the Cat Ghost Chapter 4: Flood Dragon Corpse Uncovered

    Hearing this, Shen Cong raised his eyebrows slightly.

    In this world, the ranks of cultivating immortals are divided into nine realms of Qi training, foundation building, alchemy transformation, baby formation, hole void, concentration, Mahayana, calamity transformation, and true transformation.  There are nine heavens in each realm, a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one heavens.

    Among them, the transformation of the robbery and the realm of transforming the true need to pass through the calamity. After the realm of transforming the true is successfully passed through the calamity, it will ascend and completely leave the mortal body.

    And if he succeeds in transforming himself into true ascension, he will be considered successful in this life, and he can go to the next world.

    Now, although he is only the first level of Foundation Establishment, he can only catch monsters within Dingxiang.

    But if you use cleverness, it's not a bad idea to hit and kill the Bingxiang wolf monster.

    With this in mind, Shen Cong saw the immortal magic of the jade fan, and stepped out of the void in one step, entered through the golden halo, and suddenly came to the side of the wolf demon, dodging the sword he swung with all his strength.

    The wolf demon was about to turn his head, Shen Cong squinted his eyes, and swung his fan out. The aura like fine sand flew away with the wind, turned into a long arrow, and immediately sank into the seven orifices of the wolf demon.

    Poor that wolf monster, fell to the ground howling, vomited blood from the corner of his mouth, and his breath gradually weakened.

    It struggled hard and raised its head, not daring to stare at Shen Cong who was slowly approaching: "Why you are not very good, but you can use such a high-level immortal technique?"

    "There is no need to tell you. Tell me why you are weak in morality and deeds, but you can cultivate human deeds and speak out people's words?" Shen Cong squatted down, lifted the wolf demon's chin with a jade fan, and fixedly and  Its scarlet eyes stared.

    The wolf demon didn't want to talk to him at first, but for some reason, being stared at by Shen Cong's deep eyes, it felt timid inexplicably, so he subconsciously spit out the truth！！

    "Under the bamboo forest here, there is a formation. The formation melts, and a large monster corpse can be seen. Ajin and I ate its meat, and the power of the monster increased greatly, so that we were able to speak human words and practice human behavior You let  I will hug Ah Jin" The wolf demon suddenly lowered his head.

    They cultivated a human form, and in order to consolidate their cultivation, they settled here with bamboo forests as their nests, and only killed those cultivators who passed by and were attracted by the evil spirit.

    The wolf demon eats the flesh of a woman to replenish yin, and the ghost woman eats the essence and blood of a man to collect yang.  He went to lure Shen Cong over because he wanted to see his practice, and wanted Auntie to eat Shen Cong's blood essence and completely stabilize his human form.

    He and Ah Jin met a hundred years ago, and they had promised each other to stay together forever, but in the end, both of them died.

    If there is a next life, he doesn't ask himself to be reborn as a human being and have a bright future, but only asks his aunt to live happily ever after, and not to be beaten to death and thrown into the wilderness again.

    A line of tears fell from the corner of the wolf demon's eyes, and he lost his breath.

    Shen Cong saw it in his eyes, and slowly pursed his lips.

    It is a kind of infatuation.

    He picked up the wolf demon's body and placed it beside the ghost woman's body.

    Shen Cong held the fan, silently recited formulas, and stretched out his hand to the void.

    The magic circle was completed.

    The aura of the wolf demon and the ghost woman floated out of the corpses, followed the jade-faced keel fan into the formation, and when they came out, they had become a pair of tightly hugged monks.

    "Ding! Congratulations to the host for beheading Ding Xiang's ninth-rank white-clothed ghost girl and obtaining five second-rank Huiyuan Pills!"

    "Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing the third-rank ghost-faced wolf monster of Bingxiang and obtaining a copy of the middle-rank yellow-rank Gale Walk!"

    The mechanical sound of the system sounded quickly after the phantom formation merged into his body. Shen Cong checked the system space and silently withdrew his consciousness.

    The high-level one can't be used, the usable ones have not yet reached their cultivation level, and the gifted ones don't look good.

    Difficulty.

    Remembering what the wolf demon said, Shen Cong opened the folding fan and shook it forward.

    The light like a firefly flew out from the fan, flew around the bamboo forest, and then fell evenly on the surrounding ground.  After the golden light fell to the ground, the bamboo forest actually began to tremble.

    After a while, a demon formation appeared between the bamboo forests.

    Looking at the huge formation, Shen Cong calmly shook the jade fan, stepped into the center of the formation with one step from the halo of light flying out of the jade fan.

    "Fighting in front of the soldiers, break the formation!" Shen Cong held his fan and made a seal, and shouted in a low voice, and slapped the ground with his palm.

    The keel of the handle was grounded, and a spiritual light flew out.  The aura turned into eight phantoms of golden dragons, flying in each direction, hovering around the edge of the formation.

    Another phantom of a golden dragon was born at Shen Cong's feet.  After a few breaths, Jiulong hid in the formation.

    Seeing this, Shen Cong took a deep breath, and stood up slowly holding the jade fan.  The formation trembled for a while, and then slowly floated into the void.

    Looking down, it turned out that it was Kowloon raising the formation!

    Shen Cong narrowed his eyes, and suddenly spread his raised hand, the keel on the jade fan trembled slightly, arousing the resonance of the nine dragons, and went towards the nine directions, dissolving the formation in the air.

      When the dragon shadow dissipated, the bamboo forest was instantly surrounded by thick fog, turning into another world.

    Shen Cong held the jade fan, not panicking.

    Another shake of the jade fan.

    The heavy fog dissipated, and the surroundings were shiny, and it was like daytime if you couldn't see ten miles away.

    Shen Cong did not walk around, but stared straight ahead.

    This is a half-eaten dragon corpse.  The dragon corpse is tens of feet long, like a colossal monster.  Its dragon scales had been plucked clean, its skin and flesh were rotten, and even its two eyeballs were deeply sunken, revealing eerie black holes.

    However, the most eye-catching thing is the two bronze chains several feet thick on the dragon's corpse.  The chain was inserted from the dragon's spine, and it looked like it was inserted directly into its viscera.

    Stepping out of the halo with one step, Shen Cong submerged in it and came straight to Jiaolong's back.  He pinned the jade fan to his waist, squatted down and reached out to pull the chain.

    The stench soaring into the sky filled his nostrils, Shen Cong frowned, and immediately let go.

    The chain has been submerged in it, growing together with the flesh and blood, and pulling it out must involve the internal organs！it was treated as a slave when it was alive, and it was tortured to death.

    From Snake Cultivator to Ran Mang, it took thousands of years to go through several transformations.  It took a thousand years to transform from Ran Mang to Jiaolong.

    This Jiaolong has at least two thousand years of cultivation, and he is an old fairy who ranks first in the ranks.  It's no wonder that those two monsters can cultivate a human form, their skills are low, but they have powerful monster power.

    Shen Cong touched the dragon's spine: "You are wronged to die, and you are suffocating. I know you are not willing. However, the wicked eat the fruit, and there will be rewards. If your merits in this life are not complete, you will practice well in the next life.  No fault of yours."

    As soon as his words fell, the chest of the dragon's corpse rose and fell, and the dragon's mouth spewed out a mouthful of turbid air, which lasted for a long time.

    Another cloud of breath spewed out from the chain.

    The breath turned into a phantom of a flood dragon, which directly melted into Shen Cong's body.

    "Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving the blessing of the third-rank Flood Dragon Essence, and a ninth-rank buff pill!"

    Ninth Grade Gain Pill

    As expected of a thousand-year-old monster, the items presented by the system are different.  The Ninth Grade Gaining Pill, the improved cultivation might not be able to directly pull him to the cave, or even a higher level.

    Having said that, the ninth-grade elixir is like a elixir in this world.

    His mortal body can't bear it at all, so he can only refine it, take a drop and take it, step into the second level of foundation building, and advance bit by bit.

 The Case of the Cat Ghost Chapter 5: The Family Banquet at Night, the Gu Family Exterminated

    After making up his mind, Shen Cong touched the dragon corpse again.

    "Thank you for your blessing. If I have free time in the future, I will find the culprit for you. You should have been promoted to the Dragon Clan and live the same life as the heavens and the earth."

    Having said that, Shen Cong stood up and lifted the corpse, then stepped out, passed through the sudden golden halo, and returned to his mansion.

    It was muggy at night, and there seemed to be heavy rain the next day.

    Taking off his robe, Shen Cong walked into the hot spring in the back hall, and sat down leisurely.

    He was not idle either. While sitting down to soak in the hot spring, he used his spiritual consciousness to activate the spell to refine the Ninth Grade Gain Pill.

    An hour later, Shen Cong slowly opened his eyes, and stretched out his hand to grab the void.

    A golden light appeared in the palm of his hand, and suddenly turned into a drop of liquid.

    This is the refined Ninth Rank Gain Pill.

    He held it in the palm of his hand, and the liquid slowly melted into his body, and the spiritual power suddenly surged through his tendons, extremely violently.

    Some confusion.

    Shen Cong closed his eyes and concentrated on absorbing spiritual power.

    An hour later, the clean hot spring water turned into a foul-smelling black.  The essence is flowing, and it was washed outside after a while.

    Shen Cong slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and a little tired.

    Building the foundation, double the natural formation.

    Standing up and putting on his long robe, Shen Cong ordered the guards serving him to change into a basin of cold ice, and when he felt cooler, he lay down on the bed and went to sleep.

    The lights of Prince Qin's Mansion gradually dimmed, and it became quiet along with Chang'an City.  In the middle of the night, there is a mansion lighting lamps, and it still wants to stay up all night.

    East of the city, Dingguohou Mansion.

    In the hall, a family sat around a pear wood round table, toasting and drinking, it was very lively.

    The middle-aged man sitting in the main seat was dressed in battle armor and was full of dust.  The battle armor is full of scratches of different shades. Under the candlelight, these scratches seem to bring the breath of the battlefield back to Chang'an, full of chills.

    The man's hair was slightly disheveled, and there was an unhealed scar on his forehead.  Even with such an appearance, the majesty between the man's eyebrows still remains undiminished.

    When he glanced at a young man in brocade clothes next to him, there was a look of kindness in his majestic eyes.

    This man is Gu Yuanjia, Marquis of Dingguo.

    Sitting next to him is the elder brother in brocade clothes, the prince of Dingguo, Gu Jiuling.

    When Dingguohou was young, it happened to be the founding of the Celestial Dynasty, so he helped it to overthrow the decadent regime of Ming Dynasty.  Then follow the current crusades in the four directions, pacify the Central Plains, stabilize the celestial dynasty, and lead the army to conquer the north and south according to the emperor's imperial decree.

    The Gu family is a family through the ages, belonging to the family of loyalty.  According to their family motto, the Gu family is only loyal to the Central Plains, and the dynasty has nothing to do with them.  Whoever establishes a dynasty in the Central Plains and wants to bring peace and prosperity, after the Gu family has chosen that emperor, they will help him.

    In this generation, the Gu family chose Shen Yunqing and gave up the decadent Ming Dynasty, so they have the current Marquis of Dingguo.

    Gu Jiuling is the only seedling in the direct line of this generation. He is deeply loved by the Gu family and has been asked to be the son of the world early.

    ?But love is love, Gu Yuanjia personally taught Gu Jiuling the art of war and martial arts when he was young.  Gu Jiuling was brought to the battlefield when he was young. He had never participated in the battle, but he witnessed the soldiers counting on the battlefield and witnessed the battle between the two armies.

    Such spectacular scenes naturally aroused Gu Jiuling's ambition to serve the country and join the army to kill the enemy.

    So at the age of thirteen, Gu Jiuling led the army in the first battle of the Northern Expedition. He used 500 soldiers and horses to wipe out 3,000 Turkic hussars, went deep into the desert, captured the Turkic prince, and returned to the court with his head.

    The emperor Longyan was very happy, and he directly called him the Tiger General of Bihuo Qubing Weiqing.  Immediately rewarded a thousand taels of gold and a hundred hectares of fertile land.

    Since then, the name of the little God of War has become famous in the heavens.

    In just two years, Gu Jiuling's military exploits have already reached less than half that of Marquis Dingguo.

    Not long ago, Prince Shen Yu was sent to the southern border to guard the frontier to fight against Dali, and Dingguohou and his son were also sent to the northern border by Qi Qi to expel the Turkic barbarians who would harass the people.

    After driving out the Turks, they fought with the new generals and returned to the court according to the order.

    Just rushed back to Chang'an today, and it coincided with the begging festival, the emperor allowed him to rest and bathe, so they drank and chatted all night.

    It is said that it is a family feast, but in fact, the Dingguo Houfu generally has two masters, Gu Yuanjia and Gu Jiuling.  The rest were referred to as subordinates, and they did not want to bother them, so they took a break early.

    "An Xian will be one year younger, and it will be the 28th. In the 28th year, it's time to have a marriage." Another bowl of strong wine fell into his throat. Gu Yuanjia waved away the servants who were serving him, grabbed Gu Jiuling's hand, and clapped  Clap your hands on the back, "Dad??You have a big gift.  "

    Gu Jiuling's cold eyes slowly fell on Gu Yuanjia's rough and wide palm.

    He had never spoken to himself so affectionately.

    "General, you are drunk." Gu Jiuling withdrew his hand and shook the gold cup in his hand.

    It was bestowed by the emperor, and his stingy old man never used it.

    Which muscle is wrong today?

    "Dad said that outside he only talks about generals and ministers, but inside he can talk about father and son. Call Dad to listen, and I haven't heard it for three or two years." Gu Yuanjia looked at Gu Jiuling with piercing eyes.

    "Dad." Gu Jiuling still called out obediently.

    "Hey, my father will take you to the library and give you a good treasure." Gu Yuanjia suddenly smiled, even the fine lines around his eyes.

    He pulled Gu Jiuling up and walked out of the hall.

    Seeing Gu Yuanjia's tall back with unconcealable joy, Gu Jiuling couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

    However, his expression was quietly dazed.

    It's been a long time since the old man treated me so kindly.  The last time it was like this, it seemed that he was still in his infancy.

    For some reason, Gu Jiuling felt a little drowsy.

    It's probably because of the drunkenness.

    Speaking of which, the old man still opened the spirits that he had collected for decades today.

    It's really strange.

    Gu Jiuling was so absorbed in thinking about her father's various actions today, she never paid attention to the eaves above the mansion, and a figure was already quietly lurking.

    He didn't even notice that Gu Yuanjia was drunk in front of him.

    He tightly pursed the corners of his lips, his eyes were unprecedentedly deep.

    Dingguo Hou Mansion was surprisingly quiet that night.

    Shen Cong was woken up by the noise outside the palace.

    He is a cultivator and has practiced martial arts since he was a child. His five senses are a hundred times more sensitive than ordinary people.

    ?He is resting for a bath today, and it coincides with a thunderstorm, so he doesn't need to go to the yamen to work.

    Yawning, Shen Cong got up, washed and dressed casually, took a fruit from the yard, gnawed it while holding an oil-paper umbrella, and walked towards the gate of the palace.

    Go out and sell some wine, and then go to Manxianglou to see the new oiran.

    Well, good day.

    Far away, Shen Cong caught a faint scent of blood.

    Landing at the gate of the mansion, Shen Cong glanced at the old man standing at the gate of the mansion, stretching his neck and looking east, and opened his lips lightly: "Old Liu, hasn't your old lady returned home to take care of her grandson?" Who is he waiting for here?  .

    The old man named Lao Liu froze when he heard Shen Cong's voice.  Turning her head and bowing to him, she said with a sneering smile, "Qi Ye woke up early enough."

    "What happened outside?" Shen Cong frowned.

    The closer to the street, the stronger the smell of blood.

    "Master, Dingguo Hou's Mansion was wiped out yesterday.?´

 The Case of the Cat Ghost Chapter 6 Dingguo Houfu, first meeting Jiuling

    Today's thunderstorm is strangely heavy.

    The rain was mixed with strong winds, and the horses were also frightened by lightning. The already potholed road became more and more difficult to walk.

    Shen Cong simply ordered Lao Liu to go back home, and he stepped out of the rain curtain with an umbrella, and disappeared into Lao Liu's eyes with the sudden appearance of a golden halo.

    Lao Liu watched calmly, and the royal horse returned to the mansion.

    He is used to it.

    Around Dingguohou's mansion, there stood a group of common people dressed in coir raincoats, who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.

    While shivering as they watched the yamen servants continue to bring out the bloody corpses covered with white cloths, they straightened their necks, pointed and whispered inside.

    When Shen Cong came to the Hou Mansion, he saw the young man in white standing in the storm.

    The young man Zhidao is slender, with long hair tied in a jade crown.  He wears a round forehead, and there is a half-round jade moon in the forehead.

    ?From a distance, although the boy's androgynous facial features are a bit green, they have enough capital to drive a woman crazy, even he almost thought that he was going to cut off his sleeves.

    The young man was dressed in moon-white brocade clothes, and he was standing at the gate of the Hou Mansion. His cold eyes were calm and calm, which was particularly eye-catching.

    When Shen Cong thought that someone had given him a fixation technique, the young man moved slowly, knelt down on his knees, bowed his head, and Yuebaimo's forehead was immediately stained with mud and became terribly dirty.

    Four yamen servants carried out a corpse, and the white cloth became red and white under the washing of blood and rain, and finally melted into one.

    This corpse died in a particularly miserable manner, as can be seen from the blood oozing from the white cloth.

    Shen Cong's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the exposed hand, he knew the reason why the boy knelt down.

    The clothing exposed by that hand is a battle armor, and the only two people in the Hou's mansion who can wear the battle armor are Marquis Dingguo and his son！！this hand is extremely vicissitudes, full of cocoons, and it can be seen at a glance that it has been practiced for many years  people.

    So he is the Marquis of Dingguo, Gu Yuanjia.

    This young man is the only son of Marquis Dingguo.

    Gu Jiuling.

    It turns out that the little general in the rumors looks like this.

    Really handsome.

    Suddenly, Shen Cong's eyes flickered.

    Gu Jiuling seemed to have the aura of magic.

    are two completely different spells.

    Moreover, there is one which seems to be more inclined to black art.

    After the yamen servants carried out Gu Yuanjia's body, a few empty people stepped forward to help Gu Jiuling, but were shocked by his cold and stern demeanor, and no one dared to come forward.

    The expressionless appearance of the young master is really terrifying.

    "Master, get up quickly, you won't be able to bear the burden of being an official if you kneel down." Seeing his subordinates cowardly, the head catcher was forced to bow to him, and he tried to persuade him.

    Gu Jiuling didn't speak, just stared at the corpse not far away, kowtowed and bowed three times before getting up.

    "Who will kill me all over the house?" The corners of his eyes were bloodshot, watching the arrester slowly open his lips, his voice was low and hoarse, and it was not hard to hear that he was tired.

    "I don't know, the lower officials are still looking for it." The head catcher bowed his head.

    They just moved out all the corpses, and on this rainy day, the clues had been washed away long ago.

    ?The catcher who was about to use this as an excuse to send the little ancestor away quickly, before he could open his mouth to speak, saw a little catcher rushing out in a panic, so excited that the straw hat on his body was crooked.

    "Boss, I found something!"

    Headhunter: "" He wanted to shut his mouth.

    Shen Cong stepped forward, and after being recognized by the yamen servants, he led his fellow catcher into the room together.

    Gu Jiuling also entered at the same time.

    A group of detectives gathered around a messy corner.

    There were blood splatters and heads scattered there.

    Although the rain and mud washed away a lot, making them almost unable to distinguish their appearance, they could still see what a horrible massacre had been experienced here yesterday.

    When seeing a scar somewhere on one of the heads, Gu Jiuling's body trembled violently.

    That is´´

    He stepped forward, squatting down and holding the head tightly in his arms.

    Shen Cong saw that Gu Jiuling, who was holding the head in his arms, no longer had nothing in his eyes.

    "Father！"

    At this moment, the sadness and anger in the boy's eyes were swallowed by the thunder amidst the storm.

    That head is Ding Guohou.

    Poor Gu's family, they ended up with no one to survive except for the little prince.

    Who is so vicious,?Slaughter a loyal family.

    Shen Cong narrowed his eyes, and a ray of anger burst out from the bottom of his heart.

    "Report!" At this time, another policeman walked in quickly outside, bowed to the chief, and opened his lips loudly, "Boss, the murderer has been found!"

    When the head catcher followed the catcher to search for a string of dripping blood, and came to a slum in the eastern outskirts of the city, a dilapidated thatched hut, he was still a little dazed.

    This is the fastest time they have caught the murderer.

    If it wasn't for the rain that made him really feel stuffy, he really thought he was dreaming.

    "Your Excellency, it's inside." The former catcher stepped forward again, cupping his fists and bowing to the catcher.

    "Catch!" The catcher came back to his senses, and ordered in a deep voice.

    Looking at the most active arrester, Shen Cong frowned slightly.

    Something is wrong.

    A group of arresters rushed in with their knives in hand, and came out with a bloody beggar in a short time.

    The complexions of these detectives were pale, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying.

    Shen Cong glanced in, his eyes suddenly changed.

    Gu Jiuling also wanted to look inside, but Shen Cong stretched out his hand and covered his eyes.

    "Gu baby, don't look." Shen Cong tightly covered his eyes.

    He was a head taller than Gu Jiuling, so it was very easy to do this.

    The little boy's eyelashes moved slightly.

    He suddenly pushed Shen Cong away, turned his head and stared at the latter coldly.

    Then he followed the headhunter, and left with the beggar who smiled stupidly and said nothing.

    "Gu's doll has such a temper." Shen Cong laughed at Gu Jiuling's back.

    After everyone had left, he stopped laughing, turned his head and walked into the thatched hut.

    Shen Cong stared at the almost-gnawed head, his eyes slightly stained with frost.

    Just now, he deliberately got close to Gu Jiuling, just to get a closer look at the spells and sorcery.  But only a trace was detected, but without a deep investigation, Gu Jiuling left the scope of the investigation.

    Pity.

    Shen Cong squatted down and carefully looked at the bloody skull that was ground by his teeth.

    The tiger teeth were so sharp that they directly pierced the skull, and two rows of uneven teeth marks left deep marks on the top of the skull！this skull has been gnawed off all the flesh and blood, leaving only part of the inside  , and even the brain, have not been eaten up.

    How does Shen Cong look at this tooth mark, how does it feel like it was left by those raptors.

    After all, as a human race, he can't bite through a hard head.

    Shen Cong suddenly remembered that there were still some strange things that he had overlooked just now.

    For example, it is very reasonable for blood to scatter outside and not melt when it rains.

    Another example, that policeman His eyes were dull, but his behavior was no different from that of ordinary people.

    Some, like the walking dead being manipulated.

    Shen Cong thought about it carefully, and suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums outside.

    He left a signal for Jin Yiwei and hurried out.

    Unexpectedly, after he left, the white tooth marks on the head shook slightly, and slowly changed its appearance.

 The Case of the Cat Ghost Chapter 7

    "The case of the Gu family's extermination is open, and those who are idle will avoid it!" A watchman knocked on Tong Luo and shouted loudly at the gate of the yamen.

    "The Minister of Dali Temple is here! The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is here! The County Chancellor is here!" With a sharp shout, three middle-aged men wearing black gauze hats and official uniforms came slowly from the courtroom.

    The person sitting in the middle seat is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and those sitting on the left and right are the Minister of Dali Temple and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

    Zang Ancai, that is, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment stared at the prisoner who was brought up with cold eyes.

    After the emperor heard that the Gu family was destroyed and only the orphaned son was left behind, Long Yan was furious and ordered the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Yamen to have a joint trial.

    Seeing the dull eyes of the beggar and the faintly visible flesh and blood at the corner of his mouth, Zang An suddenly remembered what the policeman said just now, and became more and more furious.

    Even he felt too aggrieved that the Gu family was full of loyalty and loyalty, and died at the hands of such low-ranking people!

    "What is the prisoner's surname, please report it!" After being promoted, Zang Ancai slapped the gavel and shouted loudly.

    The beggar babbled, looked left and right, but couldn't say a word next to him.

    "It's unreasonable to despise the court! Come on, let's go to the punishment!" Seeing this, Dali Siqing suddenly became angry and called his attendants to bring the torture tools.

    Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling stood behind the grievance drum, silently looking at the beggar whose finger was pinched, and uttered screams one after another.

    poor person must have something mean.

    What's more, there is nothing pitiful.

    Gu Jiuling stared at the beggar's pale face, and clenched his hands into fists under his sleeves.

    It's him！！

    Seeing the beggar being beaten to death and spitting out blood, he frowned slightly and slowly let go of his fist.

    No not him.

    How could such a limp and crazy beggar be the murderer who killed his entire family.

    After forcing the beggar to forcibly draw a bond, the three joint trials came to the final result.

    "The beggar is a lunatic. He killed all the loyal family members of Gu's family. His crime should be punished! Today, the official pronounces the sentence. Three days later, he will be beheaded at the Meridian Gate, and his sentence will not be suspended!" Zang Ancai threw the wooden order, and there was no sympathy in his cold eyes, "Take him down  , strictly guarded!"

    The beggar was put on two heavy chains and dragged down while dying.

    The two lines of blood that were washed away by the rain caused the people onlookers to sigh.

    When the crowd dispersed and the three officials approached and bowed to Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling, Gu Jiuling, who had been silent all this time, slowly opened his lips.

    "He is not the chief culprit who killed my Gu family."

    As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

    All are quiet.

    "Little prince, the prisoner has already been recruited. Under the eyes of everyone, how can there be a reason for wrongdoing?" Dali Temple Minister smiled and bowed, "I hope that the son's mourning will change, and the funeral will be arranged earlier, so that Lord Hou can go there with peace of mind. Excuse me."  The official waited for this and left, and I went to the official pass to say goodbye."

    ?He made a deal with Zang Ancai and the county magistrate.

    The three bowed to Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling at the same time, and they all held umbrellas and drove away.

    Gu Jiuling turned her head, looked at the back of their leaving carriage, and pursed her lips slightly.

    Shen Cong stretched out his hand and patted Gu Jiuling's shoulder: "The case of exterminating the family is indeed something strange. After the rain stops, I will go to the Dingguohou's Mansion again and take a closer look."

    Gu Jiuling kept silent, bowed hastily, and walked out of the yamen suddenly.

    Thunder roared, the back of this tall and thin boy was very thin in the torrential rain.

    Some like a bereaved dog.

    Seeing his stumbling appearance, Shen Cong frowned.

    Just now, he should speak out about his discovery.

    Why did you hesitate and wronged the beggar for nothing?

    beggar´´

    Feeling moved, Shen Cong stepped forward, a golden halo appeared in front of him, he stepped into it, and came directly into the cell.

    Seeing Shen Cong appearing out of nowhere, the arresting officers were startled at first, and then quickly calmed down when they remembered Shen Cong's identity as Jin Yiwei from Anbu.

    "I have seen His Highness King Qin, His Highness is thousands of years old." The arresters knelt down and saluted in unison.

    "Exemption." Shen Cong hurriedly waved his hand, and went straight to the cell where the beggar was held.

    He squatted down and carefully looked at the beggar who was curled up in the corner.

    The beggar was originally babbling and shaking his head down.  Sensing that someone was coming, he suddenly raised his head and grinned, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then lowered his head heavily.

    Shen Cong looked towards the puddle of blood foam.

      Shen Cong narrowed his eyes when he caught a black object.

    Sure enough, he was turned into a puppet.

    After the guess was confirmed, Shen Cong got up and left.

    Three days later, the rainstorm stopped suddenly.

    The weather is sultry and hot, but it does not reduce the people's desire to join in the fun.

    Near noon, Chaishikou was executed on the execution platform, and a large number of people had already surrounded it.

    The first few were actually holding a bowl in their hands, which contained a steaming white flour steamed bun.

    ? When the beggar was pressed onto the execution platform, all eyes fell on the beggar.

    There is pity, there is ridicule, there is disdain, and there is hatred.

    As for the first few, they are full of expectations.

    "It's noon, execution!" Not far away, Zang Ancai sat in the shade, watched the sky for a while, and then threw out the tablet on the wooden case in front of him.

    The executioner stepped onto the high platform, took a sip of strong wine, and sprayed it on the raised guillotine.

    With a loud shout, the knife rises and the head falls.

    Just hearing a grunt, the human head rolled down the high platform accompanied by splashed blood.

    Those who were holding the bowls immediately rushed up, lying on the ground one by one, dipped the white flour steamed buns in blood, carefully wrapped the bowls in their arms, as if they were afraid that others would snatch them, they hugged them tightly, got up and left quickly.

    In the distance, Gu Jiuling and Shen Cong stood side by side, watching the scene as if it was a play.

    "Stupid." Looking at the few people leaving with blood-red steamed buns in their arms, Gu Jiuling turned and left coldly.

    Shen Cong didn't speak, just looked at those bony figures and pursed his lips slightly.

    Ten years after the establishment of the Celestial Dynasty, the war never stopped.

    Behind the war, it is the common people who suffer.

    The increasing comfort of those princes and nobles has nothing to do with them.

    At this time, a north wind suddenly blew.

    The sky gradually became cloudy.

    Shen Cong felt a chill, he raised his hand, and a flawless six-petal snowflake fell on the back of his hand.

    This is snow?

    Shen Cong was taken aback.

    The snowfall was small at the beginning, and slowly swept across the earth with the biting north wind, turning it into a snow-covered snow in an instant.

    "It's snowing in July! There's a grievance in the Gu family extermination case!"

    "It's snowing, it's snowing in July!"

    "There is a grievance in the Miemen case!"

    "Corrupt officials have no morals, God, it snows in July!"

    "" ""

    Seeing the heavy snow, the people who had not dispersed could not help but knelt down and kowtowed, crying and wailing when they remembered the incident of the yamen's forcible detainment.

    Shen Cong raised his eyes and looked not far away.

    Where are the three figures of Zang Ancai? Seeing the vision from the sky, fearing to be implicated, they fled away long ago.

    Where can I go at the foot of the imperial city?

    Before leaving, Shen Cong took another look at the people.

    He knows that with his own efforts, he cannot change the thinking of an era, so he will be at ease when it comes.

 The Case of the Cat Ghost Chapter 8

    The news quickly spread throughout the entire Celestial Dynasty.

    The Gu family was full of loyalty, but was wiped out by a beggar.

    It's absurd to kill the murderer at the Meridian Gate and snow in July.

    This incident has had a great impact, and the hearts of the people have been slightly shaken.

    In the present day of the Celestial Dynasty, that is to say, after Emperor Jing Yuan heard about the snowfall in July, he immediately became furious, directly dismissed the three of them from their official positions, and issued an order to assassinate the frontiers.

    On this day, Emperor Jing Yuan was discussing with the prime minister about the flood in the south in the imperial study. Eunuch Li, the chief steward, ran in in a panic, bowed his head, and said tremblingly, "Long live, the Prince of Dingguo is beating the grievance drum outside the palace.  !"

    Emperor Jing Yuan was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly frowned when he remembered something.

    After the snow fell in July that day, he thought about retrying the case. Later, an urgent secret letter from the south came from the south.  According to the secret letter, it rained heavily in July, and the Qiantang River in the south of the Yangtze River flooded, flooding nearby towns and drowning countless ordinary people who had no time to escape.

    Once the flood broke out, not to mention the destruction of the crops, the official road connecting the north and the south was also submerged.  The military rations that were supposed to be delivered to the prince's side before the end of July had to be delayed halfway.

    At the end of last year, Dali sent troops to attack the south of the Yangtze River, and Prince Shen Xuan led 200,000 cavalry to support the southern border.  The food and salaries they brought, calculated carefully, could last at most one month.  If the military rations have not been delivered within one month, the morale of the army will definitely be shaken.

    At that time, whether the southern border can be defended, and whether the prince can return safely are all matters.

    The person who escorted the rations was a military general who was not good at controlling floods, so he sent someone to hurry up and send this secret letter into Chang'an.

    Emperor Jing Yuan always valued the crown prince, and since the crown prince is the eldest son, he naturally loved him more.

    After Shen Yu was established as the crown prince, Emperor Jing Yuan invited the best Confucianism and military generals in the celestial dynasty to be his husband, and taught him the way of governing the country himself - he was cultivated with the crown prince as his successor.  Emperor Yuan was the first to worry.

    ?In recent days, he has been discussing with the prime minister how to deal with the flood, and to send the military salary as soon as possible, so that he has forgotten about the case of Ding Guohou's extermination.

    "Long live Lord, today is the first seven days of Ding Guohou, and it is the day when Fuling is buried." Eunuch Li bowed his waist to remind him when Emperor Jing Yuan came back to his senses.

    "I'm going to help the spirit." Emperor Jing Yuan pondered for a moment, put down the memorial, got up and walked out of the imperial study.

    The discussion was fruitless, the prime minister silently held a bundle of memorials, went back to the prime minister's mansion, and invited several upright and upright ministers from the court to continue discussing the matter of flood control.

    Shen Cong heard the deafening beating of drums, took an umbrella and came outside the imperial city.

    After the snow stopped, there was another heavy rain.

    The young man's thin back was very clear in the rain.  He beat the big drum firmly one after another, not caring whether he would fall down because of the cold.

    No matter how much a person resists, his body is still made of flesh.

    Gu Jiuling was caught in the rain twice in a row. In the past seven days, he was in charge of organizing the funerals of Gu's family and never stopped for a moment.

    Shen Cong could see that the exhaustion of this little prince was all written in those eyes without any waves.

    He slowly stepped forward and took Gu Jiuling's cold hand.

    "Go and bury your father first. After the hour, he won't be able to return to the underworld." Shen Cong slowly opened his lips.

    Gu Jiuling's body froze slightly.

    He lowered his eyes and let go of the drumstick.

    The drumstick fell to the ground, and the mist in the boy's eyes also fell to the ground.

    "Jiuling of the Gu family, I will be with you to bury the spirit of Dingguo Hou Fuling." A deep voice came from not far away.

    The two looked together and saw Emperor Jing Yuan coming from a distance in sackcloth.

    He didn't hold an umbrella, and came all the way in the rain. He pulled up the two people who were about to kneel, and patted Gu Jiuling on the shoulder: "I will give you Gu's Zhonglie an explanation."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Jiuling lowered her eyes and wanted to make a bow, but was pulled back again.

    "Go to Dingguohou's Mansion, and I will help the spirit with you."

    Shen Cong watched the two go away, and behind him was Eunuch Li who was chasing after him with an umbrella.

    He turned his head silently and went to the Yamen.

    Two people in bright-colored flying fish robes conducted an autopsy with Wu in the morgue.

    That corpse was the skull that Shen Cong saw in the thatched hut.

    When Shen Cong came over, he saw that the skull was completely empty, and the bite marks on the skull also changed.

    "People's tooth marks are not made by monsters." One of the flying fish robes bowed to Shen Cong, and slowly opened his lips.

    They are Jin Yiwei of the Ministry of Ming Dynasty, responsible for examining human cases.

    Shen Cong frowned.

    "On that dayWhat I saw was the traces left by monsters.  He reached out to touch the skull, found a trace of witchcraft, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

    Want to cheat the world?

    He took off the jade-faced keel fan from his waist, formed mudras with both hands, and typed out a set of formulas under Wu Zuo's novel eyes.

    "Fighting in battle, break!"

    Shen Cong let out a low cry, and a puff of blue smoke rose from his skull instantly.  The green smoke dissipated, and the tooth marks of the monster were exposed again.

    The two Jinyi guards from the Ming Ministry looked at each other, then bowed and said: "Since there are demons, then transfer to the Anbu for inspection."

    When Emperor Jing Yuan went to Dingguohou's Mansion, he asked Eunuch Li to pass on an oral order, and asked Jin Yiwei to investigate the case of Gu's extermination.

    Jin Yiwei took over and immediately came to the autopsy.

    So there was this scene.

    Shen Cong nodded, and after Wu Zuo left, he and the two Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty went to Duwei's Mansion to ask the commander of the Jinyiwei of the Anbu.

    Commander Song Cheng is a newly appointed official. It is said that he is only in his thirties, and he is already in the state of conceiving a baby.

    At this age in this world, he cultivated to conceive a baby, which shows the horror of his talent.

    Shen Cong is just a yamen catcher now, and has never met his immediate boss.  When he saw the real person, he always felt that he had seen Song Cheng's fragile-looking face somewhere.

    After thinking for a while, Shen Cong suddenly remembered that last year, the person who was scolded and dismissed by Emperor Jing Yuan for coveting the wealth of the landlord Wan Guan last year seemed to be Song Cheng too.

    It seems that it is him.

    Shen Cong raised his eyebrows.

    His father has always acted decisively, like Ming Taizu, never appointed corrupt officials, once found out, he would be dismissed directly, and the crime of corruption would be punished according to the size of the crime, and then he would be reduced to slavery and sent to the frontier.

    This Song Cheng seems to be an exception.

    However, the current matter is to find out the real culprit of Gu's extermination case.

    Let's talk about the rest in the future.

    After Song Cheng heard about this, he pondered for a moment, and slowly opened his lips: "So, I ordered Shen Cong to take over the case, and he must settle his grievances."

    "Your subordinate obeys." Shen Cong bowed his head.

    In Jinyiwei, there are many descendants of princes and nobles. They all put down their figures and only call themselves subordinates.

    The same is true for Shen Cong.

    During the heavy rain, the bell of Chang'an City rang three times.

    is the death knell.

    Shen Cong stood on a tall building in the imperial city, looking at the spirit-helping team on the street in the distance.

    They were all dressed in sackcloth and covered their coffins with white cloth and walked in the rain.

    ?Gu Jiuling walked at the forefront holding the tablet of Ding Guohou, followed by Emperor Jing Yuan who was helping the spirit, and Eunuch Li who was in a panic.

    Eunuch Li chased after Emperor Jing Yuan with an umbrella in his arms.

 The Case of the Cat Ghost Chapter 9

    The rain stopped suddenly.

    Chang'an, which was hot in July, finally had a chance to breathe and cool down slowly.

    The rainwater accumulated on the road has not dispersed, and the common people, all with bare arms, scooped up water with buckets, regardless of filtering out dust and mud, and poured them into clay vats for future use.

    When the sky drier, Shen Cong took Jin Yiwei to Dingguohou's Mansion to look for clues again.

    The torrential rain for several days washed away most of the bloody smell in the mansion, and only Shen Cong could distinguish the rest by relying on his cultivation.

    Several people scattered around and began to check Dingguohou's mansion again.

    Gu Jiuling stood in the distance, staring fixedly at Jin Yiwei walking back and forth.

    To be precise, he stared fixedly at Shen Cong who was walking back and forth in a corner.

    "Master Gu, your Hou Mansion has been in disrepair for a long time." Shen Cong glanced sideways, glanced at Gu Jiuling, and pointed to the hole over there.

    Gu Jiuling frowned and stepped forward.

    This hole seems to be new, and there is still debris in the grass.  Although washed away by heavy rain, larger clods are still clearly visible.  Shen Cong, as Jin Yiwei, although he only has the job of arresting the head, it is impossible not to discover these things.

    "Dingguo Hou's mansion is guarded by family shadow guards, and those who can trespass are definitely not ordinary people." Gu Jiuling slowly clenched his fists.

    "Shadow Guards have always been allowed to be kept in the mansion only by princes and nobles. The corpses that were moved out that day totaled 425. In addition to the pre-determined princes and the Gu family's descendants, there were dozens of servants. The rest were  There are 219 shadow guards in total."

    Shen Cong stretched out his hand to push away the grass, stroked the dust on the hole, and slowly opened his lips,

    "Among them, there are a total of ten people with cultivation bases, all of whom have reached the state of conceiving babies. The only one who can quietly wipe out your Gu family in Chang'an City, and suck away all those human deeds, is the big monster Jiaxiang."

    Gu Jiuling nodded.

    Suddenly, he remembered something and frowned slightly: "The total number of shadow guards is two hundred and twenty, and one is missing."

    Another corpse that was left out?

    Shen Cong's gaze deepened, and he pulled out the jade-faced keel fan from his waist, slammed it towards the ground, and stopped firmly within an inch of it.

    "Fighting in battle, look for it!" A thread of blood came from the air with his fingers, and slowly pushed it into a golden formation that quietly appeared under the jade-faced fan.

    With a flash of the formation, a long golden dragon in the southeast tremblingly struggled to soar up from it, turned into a golden thread in the void, and flew towards a certain place in the mansion at high speed.

    Shen Cong stood up, a golden halo appeared in front of him, and he was about to take a step forward. He suddenly looked back at Gu Jiuling: "Young Master, come together."

    Gu Jiuling nodded, followed Shen Cong through the golden halo, and appeared in the southeast corner of the mansion the next moment.

    He came back to his senses in a daze, feeling that the world had turned into a magic trick.

    Is this the strange trick of a cultivator?

    The golden thread stopped in a puddle of water in this corner.

    "Gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are the best in the world, and gardens in Suzhou are the best in the south of the Yangtze River. Your garden is unique." Shen Cong sighed as he looked at the rockery and flowing water in front of him.

    Gu Jiuling didn't answer, her cold eyes reflected the small pool like stagnant water.

    There is a very faint odor.

    is a carrion.

    After all, he came down from the battlefield, and he is very sensitive to smell.  So Gu Jiuling walked to the edge of the pool, and was about to go into the water to salvage the corpse, but was pulled up by a hand.

    "No need to go into the water."

    After Shen Cong finished speaking, he shook the jade-faced keel fan, and the pool was blown to both sides by the wind, splitting into two.

    A rotten corpse appeared at the bottom of the pool, swollen to the point of whitish rotting. Under the spell blessing of Shen Cong's jade-faced fan, it slowly floated upwards and stopped by the pool.

    Gu Jiuling took a closer look.

    This corpse was dressed in the robes of the Shadow Guards of the Marquis of the Dingguo Mansion, and it was the one that disappeared.

    At that time, two brocade guards searched here, and when they saw the corpse, they all gathered around.

    Gu Jiuling stepped aside consciously.

    "The essence of the corpse is the same as what was discovered before, and it was sucked dry by the big monster." A Jin Yiwei lowered his head and grabbed his palm and turned it over to look carefully. "The tendons in the palm show signs of rupture, and there was a fierce fight before."

    "The head drooped unnaturally, the neck was broken by the demon power, the bones were shattered, and the demon power belongs to armor." Another Jin Yiwei twitched a wisp of black demon energy from the neck of the corpse, and carefully identified it.

    "A mortal, can beat a thousand-year-old monster with armor?" Shen Cong rubbed his chin.

    The two Jinyiwei looked at each other.

    I missed a little bit.  people and?There is a huge disparity in strength, not to mention that this is a big monster with a prime minister, it has become a climate.  If you want to kill Gu's family, you only need to flick your fingers.

    So how did this person manage to fight under the palm of the thousand-year-old monster?

    "He is a demon."

    After Shen Cong finished speaking, he waved his folding fan.

    A gust of wind rushed, and the swollen carrion trembled, and turned into a cat demon that had been dead for a long time.  The cat demon's hair was plucked clean, and a broken skeleton could be seen under the bloody flesh.  The skeleton was twisted in a weird way, and a large area was sunken in the chest, which was already rotten and there were even a few maggots crawling out of the hollow.

    Jin Yiwei noticed something on the demon cat's back and turned it over to have a look.  A yellowed talisman was attached to the spine of the cat demon's back, and the characters on the talisman were extremely scribbled, as if they were written in a hurry.

    "This is" Jin Yiwei remembered something, and his expression changed suddenly.

    "In Chang'an in the ancient Sui Dynasty, there was a noble lady who heard the raccoon slave eating in the middle of the night, her stomach ached like she was biting, and she died in a few days, and the wealth of her family was unknown." Shen Cong slowly closed his eyes, a ray of cold frost appeared in his eyes,

    "It's a cat ghost."

    After this day, the Dingguohou's Mansion was sealed, and no one except the Jinyiwei was allowed to enter.

    Except for Gu Jiuling.

    The next day, Shen Cong came to Dingguohou's mansion alone again.

    Yesterday they took the cat demon corpse back and looked around. Even Anbu's work came, but they didn't find anything useful.  On the contrary, Wu Zuo accidentally damaged the talisman that had turned yellow to ashes because of the long time spent on the search.

    So the corpse of the cat demon was turned into ashes together.

    For this reason, Song Cheng was so furious that he punished each Jin Yiwei who participated in the case with 30 sticks.

    He didn't escape either.

    However, probably due to his identity, those people released water when they attacked, which looked fierce, and it didn't hurt or itch when it fell on them.

    So on the second day, he took advantage of his rest and came to Dingguohou's mansion again.

    This time, he came quietly.

    Because today, he will go back to the past with a high-level immortal method to find out the real culprit.  In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, he didn't bring even a single guard in brocade clothes.

    Standing in the center of the front hall and back yard, Gu Zhe slowly took down the jade fan at his waist, and was about to do it, when he turned his head and swung it towards the corner.

    A white shadow jumped out of it with a backhand palm, which directly melted the wind.

    It's Gu Jiuling.

    "It's quite profound to be able to dispel my mana with the palm wind." Shen Cong glanced at the young man who was standing aside, turned his head and unfolded the folding fan, and began to close his eyes and make seals.

 The Case of the Cat Ghost Chapter 10 The Hou Mansion was on fire, and the demon pill appeared

    Gu Jiuling pursed her lips and remained silent.

    In his eyes, Shen Cong's unpredictable seal movements and the huge formation that slowly emerged under his feet were reflected.

    For some reason, Gu Jiuling felt his blood tumbling.  It seems that some kind of power is imprisoned in the body, and it is about to break through the shackles that bind it.

    Shen Cong stood in the center of the formation, surrounded by golden aura in all directions, gradually rising upwards, turning into a water curtain, and floating in front of Shen Cong.

    Shen Cong slowly closed his eyes.

    When the consciousness is opened, enter it, look at the past, and know the future.

    This secret method was learned by him in the last plane combined with the techniques of Bagua and Yangyi. It can be used with a little more effort in this world.

    The only bad thing is that the things you see are not clear, most of them are vague.

    Backtracking.

    The day of extermination.

    Dingguo Hou's family is peaceful, but the hall is bustling.

    Shen Cong walked on the dark path, shaking his jade fan while looking up.  When his eyes touched the eaves, he paused slowly.

    Taking a step forward, passing through the golden halo and coming straight to the eaves, Shen Cong stared at the thing in front of him that seemed to be integrated with the night, and slowly frowned.

    The magic power is low, so you can't see clearly.

    "System, detect monsters." Shen Cong suddenly contacted his own system.

    "Ding! Scanning！"

    "Ding! The scan result, a big monster with a prime minister, the details are unknown."

    What is the difference between this and no scanning.

    Shen Cong cut off the connection with the system, stepped across the halo and came to the hall.  Gu Yuanjia and Gu Jiuling were toasting and drinking, seemingly unaware of the coming bloody storm.

    When Gu Yuanjia pulled Gu Jiuling up and went to the Zangshu Pavilion, Shen Cong saw that the big monster on the eaves moved and followed it to the top of the Zangshu Pavilion.

    Gu Jiuling shook and fell to the ground unconscious.

    "Ah Xian, in the future, you have to be fearless without the protection of your father." Gu Yuanjia squatted on the ground, lovingly caressed Gu Jiuling who had fallen in the Library Pavilion, and then carried him on his back.

    "It's a pity, Dad can't see your marriage" Gu Yuanjia mumbled to himself.

    He pushed down a cabinet of books, took advantage of the movement, twisted the secret door, and pushed Gu Jiuling to the soldiers hiding inside.  The soldiers left immediately with Gu Jiuling, and the secret door was quickly closed.

    Gu Yuanjia turned his head and looked at the scattered Zangshu Pavilion. Even Shen Cong could clearly feel his stern and stern demeanor.

    The big demon raised his hand and cast a barrier.

    Shen Cong was about to continue backtracking, and suddenly found that smoke was everywhere.

    Feeling wrong, Shen Cong turned the water curtain on and opened his eyes to look around, his pupils shrank.

    Dingguohou's mansion is in trouble.

    The flames soared into the sky, showing a coquettish dark red.

    It's the demon fire.

    The young master is still in the mansion!

    Shen Cong stepped forward and looked around for Gu Jiuling's figure. When he disappeared from the left and right, he directly formed the Nian Jue with both hands.

    "Fighting in battle, look for it!" A wisp of Gu Jiuling's breath came from midair, and Shen Cong yelled in a low voice.

    ?Under the jade-faced keel fan, the array appeared, and the nine dragons turned into golden threads, and they all flew to the library not far away.

    Shen Cong turned his head and stepped out, entered through the halo, and came straight to the Library Pavilion.

    Braving the faint flames, a white shadow rushed straight into it, and it was Gu Jiuling.

    When Shen Cong came, Gu Jiuling rushed inward, looking around.

    At this time, a beam collapsed, Gu Jiuling jumped up and kicked to the side, remembering what Gu Yuanjia had told him, he quickly ran to the southwest wall to open a dark cabinet, and found a red sandalwood box.

    Picking it up, Gu Jiuling looked back.

    The only way is that the ink fire is soaring into the sky, the beams of the house will collapse, and there is no way to retreat.

    This time my life will end

    Gu Jiuling coughed, hugged the red sandalwood box tightly, and lowered her head tightly.

    At this time, a golden halo suddenly appeared in front of him, and a figure dressed in a black robe revealed half of his body.

    "Take my hand."

    This is a slightly magnetic, somewhat deep voice.

    It's Shen Cong.

    The fire went up to a higher level, thick smoke billowed everywhere, and it was frighteningly black.  Gu Jiuling raised her eyes, without any hesitation, she put her hand on Shen Cong's arm, and Shen Cong suddenly exerted force, dragging Gu Jiuling directly into the halo, and took him away from the library.

    The moment the two left Zangshuge, the entire Shuge building collapsed and fell down.

    Shen Cong patted the ashes on his body, glanced closelyGu Jiuling, who was hugging the red sandalwood box tightly, smiled: "Young Master is really fearless."

    So he ignored him, turned his head to look at the flames in all directions, and directly took out a rolled up fireworks from his sleeve robe, and pulled up the rolled up rope.

    The signal flies, Anbu Jinyiwei arrives.

    When he saw the big demon fire in Dingguohou's mansion, he immediately invited Song Cheng.

    Song Cheng ordered his subordinates to disperse the crowd who were terrified by the vision, and then immediately took out a talisman from his waist, bit his own finger and dripped blood on it.

    "Order the gods to put out the fire, as urgently as a law!" Song Cheng sent out the talisman and shouted loudly.

    The talisman flew into the air, shining golden light instantly.  In an instant, the wind and clouds in the void were turbulent, and a heavy rain came, which directly extinguished the strange demon fire.

    Nianjue harvested the rain, Song Cheng bowed three times towards the void, and then looked at Dingguohou's mansion.

    Dingguohou's mansion has been burned to ruins, and two figures walked out slowly between the burnt wood.

    It was Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling.

    Song Cheng's eyelids twitched rapidly.

    If something happened to these two ancestors, a hundred of his heads would not be enough for Long Live Lord to chop off.

    After reprimanding the two of them, Song Cheng suddenly changed the subject: "The emperor has issued a decree recently that the battle situation is tight. The people of the celestial dynasty, and even the princes and nobles, must not spend extravagantly and wastefully, and make large-scale construction projects. In this case, the young master will temporarily stay in the Qin Palace. If there is any  If you have any objections, you can just ask the emperor with me."

    All of this has moved out of his father, how can Shen Cong disagree.

    After everyone left, Shen Cong took Gu Jiuling back to Prince Qin's Mansion, and led Lao Liu to tidy up the east wing and leave it to Gu Jiuling.

    The two disgraced people gathered in the hall after taking their own baths.

    "Spells are cast on the box, may you open it?" After Uncle Liu bought a pot of tea and cleaned up the servants, Shen Cong picked up the teacup, took a sip, and glanced at the red sandalwood box that Gu Jiuling was holding on to.

    Gu Jiuling put the wooden box on the pear blossom wooden table, shook his head slightly: "It can't be opened."

    Shen Cong put down the teacup, and slowly stroked the red sandalwood box.

    Demon spirit?

    He frowned, and quietly applied the system mana on the button.

    Hearing a crisp sound, Shen Cong suddenly opened the wooden box.

    Inside was a porcelain vase, Shen Cong took it out and handed it to Gu Jiuling.

    "Your Highness, let's open it on behalf of the minister." Gu Jiuling fixed his eyes on the porcelain vase.

    For some reason, he actually felt that this porcelain vase was very kind.

    To be precise, it is the contents of the porcelain bottle.

    Shen Cong followed his advice, pulled out the plug and slowly poured out a round pill.

    When seeing this round pill, Gu Jiuling's heart suddenly tightened.

    This pill exudes a faint white air, and in the white air, there is a faint black air that sinks and floats.

    "It's a demon pill." After scanning with the system, Shen Cong slowly opened his lips,

    "It's the Great Demon Neidan who is about to become a fairy. ?

 The Case of the Cat Ghost Chapter 11: A Hundred Ghosts Travel at Night

    The shadow guard came to report that Jin Yiwei disappeared for no reason, and the clues to the extermination case of the Dingguo Houfu were completely cut off, so it was temporarily put on hold.

    There was no clue about the cat ghost, so they were shelved together.

    After giving the demon pill to Gu Jiuling, Shen Cong told him to hide it well.

    After all, inner alchemy is the best medicine for the cultivation of demons and ghosts.  Besides, this is the inner alchemy of the big demon who is about to become a fairy, if it is discovered, it will definitely lead to a catastrophe.

    With his current practice, he can only kill the Ding phase monsters, and the C phase monsters will at most seriously injure them if it is not a clever trick.  If you encounter a monster with two phases A and B, whether you can protect yourself is a problem.

    Can't protect Gu Jiuling.

    As for why this demon pill was obtained by Marquis Ding Guo, Shen Cong didn't have time to think about it. Today he revealed a list and went to Huamanlou to catch the demon.

    Huamanlou is the No. 1 brothel in Chang'an, a place where literati and elegant guests who like to watch oirans gather.  There are also court officials who come here to get drunk and sing songs and have fun.

    Ordinary people also come.  However, they didn't just spend money to watch the oiran's enchanting dance.

    At the end of the unitary hour.

    The alley is full of flowers.

    Taking advantage of the darkness, a figure sneaked into the depths of the alley and stopped in front of a house with yellowed couplets.

    Seeing that there was no one around, Wang Gouzi knocked lightly on the fitted windows and doors.

    "Have you brought the silver?" A delicate and soft voice came from inside.

    "I brought it." Wang Gouzi licked and laughed, and stuffed a bag of broken silver in his arms through the small hole of the window.

    Then he bent his waist and looked straight there.

    A Ruyusu hand slowly reached out to take the bag away.

    A slight sweet fragrance came to the nostrils, and Wang Gouzi swallowed unconsciously when he smelled it, his eyes lit up.

    "It's five or two feet, come in." The inner girl smiled, with a warped sound at the end of the word, seductively seductive Wang Gouzi's soul.

    As soon as the door opened, Wang Gouzi couldn't wait to go in and hugged the girl in his arms.

    "Good girl, I miss you so much." Wang Gouzi caressed Du Jiaoniang's face while stretching out his hand restlessly.

    There were two blushes on Du Jiaoniang's face.

    The devil.

    The candle flickered on and off, and the wooden house trembled slightly with the movement.

    Just say that the spring night is a moment, and it is a thousand gold.

    In the night, a slender figure appeared in Huamanxiang following the sudden golden halo.

    Hearing the creaking and shaking of the bed board below, Shen Cong stepped out silently and came to the gazebo on the roof of the building.

    "Inhuman?" Slowly rubbing his chin, Shen Cong stared at a figure walking out of Huamanxiang.

    He squinted slightly, took off the jade-faced keel fan on his waist, and stepped out of the void.

    The halo appeared, and the body teleported.

    Shen Cong patted the figure's back with his fan, and a burnt mark of golden light suddenly appeared on his back.

    The figure screamed in pain, turned back fiercely, revealing a gloomy face.

    The female ghost's lips were purple, her neck was twisted in a strange way, a wooden nail was hung on each side of her cheek, black blood was coagulated below her head, her deep eye sockets were extremely hollow, but she was staring straight at Shen Cong's face.

    "Suppressing demon nails?" Shen Cong was not afraid, and raised his eyebrows to look at the two wooden nails.  gas?"

    Seeing that Shen Cong recognized her identity, the female ghost was startled, and immediately disappeared into a cloud of green smoke.

    Shen Cong did not chase, but turned to look at Huamanlou.

    Huamanlou is full of yin, this female ghost floated out from the building, if it wasn't for the feng shui pattern to attract ghosts, then the ghost was born and bound here.

    In other words, behind Huamanlou, there are still some shady activities.

    Shen Cong squinted his eyes slightly, made a mudra with both hands, and clapped the jade-faced fan an inch above the ground.

    "Fighting in battle, ghosts appear!"

    With a low shout, the golden array appeared under the jade fan, and Kowloon appeared.

    Pressing the formation to the ground, the formation turned into golden light and flew towards Huamanlou.  In just a moment, the dark energy scattered inside, and many female ghosts with tragic deaths flew out of it.

    The Huamanlou, which was originally lively, was in a mess when the yin qi floated out, and there were screams and fleeing sounds one after another.

    Even with that one, the total is ninety-nine.

    Shen Cong counted each one accurately, frowning slightly.

    There is still one missing, that is just what he wants to catch, the ghost of the world.

    ? Step out and enter through the halo.

      Straight to Huamanlou, the inside is already in chaos and empty.  The old bustard hid outside with a group of prostitutes, staring at Huamanlou surrounded by a group of black-clothed shadow guards who rushed over in a panic.

    These are all Shen Cong's shadow guards, and they dared to come here quickly to stabilize the situation after Shen Cong sent the signal secretly.

    The leading shadow guard named He Qi was sent by Emperor Jing Yuan to follow Shen Cong's side to protect his safety since he was a child.

    I heard that He Qi is also a cultivator, and he studied under the great power of the immortal family.  But when he came from Heqi, Shen Cong had never seen him use a spell.

    What's more, the fairy family in this world has long since disappeared in the mortal world. Shen Congquan told a joke when he was Emperor Jingyuan.

    "Your Highness, the evil spirit was trapped in Huamanlou by your subordinates. Does your Highness need your subordinates to capture it inside?" He Qi came to the door, cupped his fists and bowed to Shen Cong who came out after looking around, his eyes neither humble nor overbearing.

    "No, I can go there myself. You take the shadow guards to check if the people are injured, and put all the bustards and prostitutes into the imperial prison of the captain's mansion. I will interrogate them later." Shen Cong raised his eyebrows and took a look.  He Qi turned his head and walked into Huamanlou.

    There are indeed traces of formations being arranged here, and the ghost was trapped in the formations looking for the eyes of the formations, which shows that it has wisdom.  A psychic ghost who has practiced the way for at least a hundred years and can deploy formations to trap Bingxiang demon ghosts without a sound, the strength of He Qi cannot be underestimated.

    It seems that there is a tiger lying beside him.

    The lights in Huamanlou are flickering, and the inside is like a world of ice and snow, especially icy cold.

    Shen Cong slowly raised his eyes, the sky above was as dark as ink, and there was a ghostly aura visible to the naked eye.

    "The ghost of misfortune, the second grade of Bingxiang, one hundred and sixty-nine years of Taoism." Shen Cong slowly opened his lips, and after reading the message in his mind, he suddenly clenched the jade-faced keel fan, and stepped forward.

    Halo appeared, and the black figure came to the side of Ghost Qi, and punched Ghost Qi vigorously.

    The ghostly aura trembled violently, and Hua Manlou trembled accordingly.

    A sharp roar resounded through the sky, from the inside to the outside, all the people outside covered their ears and bared their teeth.

    He Qi's complexion did not change, he turned his head to look at the turbulent Yin Qi inside, his gaze deepened slightly.

    His Highness's strength does not seem to be limited to the Second Heaven of Foundation Establishment.

    "Being ready to fight, borrow soldiers!" Shen Cong realized that this troublesome ghost was extremely difficult to deal with, so he simply made a seal with his hands, unfolded his jade fan, and fanned towards the ghost.

    The golden light fell where the cool breeze passed, and all of them turned into soldiers in armor with cold eyes.

    "Kill!" Someone shouted in a deep voice.

 The Case of the Cat Ghost Chapter 12: Hundred Ghosts Travel at Night, Immortals Borrow Soldiers

    With one order, all generals will attack.

    Ghost Qi was surrounded by golden soldiers, unable to escape left and right.

    Countless long swords were picked up, piercing the ghost aura, and the ghost aura screamed, transforming into the ghost's original form.

    The female ghost was locked in the center of the golden soldier and could not move.

    All of her skin has been peeled off, and the carrion and veins inside are so clear.  On the face that should have been jade like pearls, two eyeballs protruded, which was extremely terrifying and gloomy.  The female ghost was dressed in white, and her clothes were stained with turbid and coagulated black blood, making them extremely dirty.

    The female ghost looked at Shen Cong who was walking slowly, and her sharp voice was like a sword rubbing, harsh and unpleasant: "They kill me, skin me, sell my internal organs, and I will kill them, skin them, and eat their internal organs  , why don't you catch them, why is it so unfair!"

    "The way of heaven is just. I will never let a hypocritical person go, and I will never let a ghost who does evil go. If you have grievances, you can appeal to the City God. If you violate the commandment of killing and kill innocent people indiscriminately, no matter how much grievance you have  , I am not forgiving."

    Shen Cong stared at the female ghost coldly, "This is not the reason for you to kill."

    After the sound fell, he waved his sleeves, and the golden soldier turned into a long light and fell into the female ghost's body, and the female ghost turned into black mist and dispersed.

    "Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing the second-rank Bingxiang ghost, and getting a second-rank random Taoist talisman!"

    After absorbing the breath of the female ghost, the mechanical sound of the system echoed in his mind. Shen Cong ignored it, dispelled the void formation, and looked at the formation in front of which the light was gradually fading, his eyes slightly dazed.

    Prostitutes, the so-called low-class people, are like birds in cages all their lives, longing for freedom, but they have nothing to do all their lives.

    The hundreds of ghosts here are all the souls of prostitutes after death.  The large number shows the cruel methods of the people behind Huamanlou.

    "Do my best to avenge you."

    Putting away the folding fan, Shen Cong took out three incense sticks from the Qiankun bag, brushed them over and lit them, and stuck them on the ground.

    The seal has been broken, and the souls of hundreds of ghosts return to the underworld.

    Long incense to see you off, there is no return date.

    He looked at the completely silent Huamanlou, pursed his lips, turned his head and walked out.

    He ordered He Qi to escort everyone in the building away, and after the people dispersed, Shen Cong wanted to follow.

    With a sway of his body, he suddenly spit out a mouthful of stuffy blood.

    Stretching out his hand to wipe away the blood stains on his lips, Shen Cong pinned the jade-faced keel fan back to his waist, and rubbed between his brows wearily.

    A single borrowing of soldiers consumed most of his physical strength.  Huiyuan Danna and other pills should be left to the soldiers in the future.

    Forget it, the Ming Dynasty will retrial.

    Shen Cong stepped out in one step, riding the halo back to the mansion, and just after he stepped into the mansion, he noticed a different kind of strange aura.

    It came from the east wing.

    Gu Jiuling!

    Shen Cong's pupils shrank, he took off the folding fan at his waist and stepped out quickly.

    East Wing Room, Wuwang Pavilion.

    Standing on the eaves in white clothes, holding a three-foot long sword, he stared blankly at the rotten cat demon in front of him with empty eyes.

    Gu Jiuling's hands trembled slightly, and blood flowed like rain at the handle of his fingertips, dripping down.

    The cat demon moved suddenly.

    A sword pierced into the cat demon's abdomen, and before Gu Jiuling could draw it back, he felt a hand behind him pulling him over.

    "If Master Hou thinks your hands are not precious, sell them to a butcher."

    Shen Cong pushed Gu Jiuling behind him, unfolded his jade-faced fan, and slapped the cat demon with his palm. When it dodged, he drew back his long sword and threw it back.

    Gu Jiuling caught the long sword, and there was a burning pain from his wrist.  He lowered his eyes and lifted his palms, a trace of black air was glowing from the wound on his wrist.

    Just now, this place was injured by the sharp claws of the cat demon.

    "Fighting battles, come!"

    There was a burst of qi and blood in his heart, Shen Cong squinted his eyes and slapped his palm on the eaves, and the formation of folding fans suddenly appeared.  Nine Dragons melted into locks, and the cat demon was firmly bound in it.

    The strange sound of the flute sounded suddenly.

    The cat demon was restless for a while, seeing that he could not escape, he simply killed himself.  It suddenly approached the formation, and the golden fire rose from the ground, instantly burning the cat demon to powder.

    The sound of the flute falls, and the formation disperses.

    "Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing Ding Xiang's third-rank cat ghost and obtaining a first-rank healing pill."

    The breath was absorbed into the sea of ??consciousness, Shen Cong took out the pill, and handed it back: "Be careful with your life, if it is gone in my palace, I will not be able to wash it off even if I jump into the Yellow River."

    Gu Jiuling hesitated for a moment, took the elixir and swallowed it, and the pain on the palm disappeared completely.

    The two jumped off the eaves together.

    Shen CongWith a flick of her lips, a trace of blood spilled from her lips.

    Excessive mana, counterattack viscera.

    This is the disadvantage of low cultivation.

    "Your highness has caused trouble to me, please forgive me." Gu Jiuling clasped his sword in his hands, his cold eyes filled with guilt.

    Shen Cong's eyes moved.

    It's rare that the young prince with a paralyzed face can still show a human look.

    "Little Marquis, please allow me to be abrupt. Who taught you your martial arts?" Shen Cong waved his hand, casually wiped the blood on his lips, after running for a week to calm down a little, he fixedly looked at the former.

    "It's all passed down by my father."

    Do you want to wait in Dingguo?

    Thinking back to what he saw in the Miemen case that day, Shen Cong concluded that Gu Yuanjia had concealed some secrets of the Houfu.

    These things may be related to Gu Jiuling's life experience.

    And, he has a looming seal of immortality and magic.

    "Being able to share the same level with the cat ghost shows that the young master has great martial arts. It seems that the reputation of a tiger general is not in vain." Shen Cong laughed, and suddenly approached Gu Jiuling, bowed his head and said in a low voice, "Don't move, I will write you a  A life-saving talisman."

    He stretched out his sleeve robe, and with his hand stained with blood from the corner of his mouth, he pulled Gu Jiuling's long and slender hand in the sleeve robe, and quickly wrote a talisman in his palm.  The talisman shone for a while, and then disappeared into Gu Jiuling's body.

    Gu Jiuling froze.

    In the cool eyes, the light was ups and downs, flickering and flickering.

    After the talisman was completed, Shen Cong backed away, and found that there was a strange blush on the base of the young master's ears, and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

    "Enough watching the theater, do you want me to ask you to go away?" He looked at Gu Jiuling, but opened his lips coldly pointing to something else.

    For some unknown reason, this voice spread ten miles away.

    A willow tree stands alone.

    Under the strip, stood a young man in a cloak and a ghost face.  The young master lowered his hands slowly, and a black flute suddenly appeared under the moonlight.

    Hearing this voice, the son raised a pair of extraordinarily deep and enchanting eyes, and looked towards the Qin Palace.

    "The blood shocks cats and ghosts, and they are evenly divided." He licked the corners of his lips, and the light in his eyes flashed away, as if a falcon stared at its prey and let it run leisurely and lazily.

    Really interesting.

    Brother Gongzi blew a whistle, and the nearby trees scurried, a black cat as strong as a tiger and leopard jumped out, and landed obediently in front of Brother Gongzi.

    "Let's go, go meet the next master." The young master stroked the head of the black cat, jumped up onto the eaves, and hid in the darkness.

    The black cat bowed and jumped, and quickly climbed up to the eaves without hearing a sound.  It followed behind the young man unhurriedly, a pair of green cat eyes shining faintly in the night.

    The city of Chang'an gradually became quiet, and everything seemed to be quiet again.

 The Cat Ghost Case Chapter 13

    After a few days of recuperation, Shen Cong, who was sabotaging his work, slowly left the Qin Palace and went to work in the yamen under Song Cheng's scolding.

    The head catcher handed over a purse: "Master Qi, Mr. Song of the Captain's Mansion sent someone to deliver it."

    Shen Cong reached out to take it, and suddenly remembered that he had to interrogate a group of people, so he went straight to the Captain's Mansion.

    Standing at the door was a man wearing a black gauze hat, a flying fish robe, and an embroidered spring knife on his right waist. He was the commander of Anbu Jinyiwei, Song Cheng.

    Standing at the door with him was a nodding court official.  Looking at his appearance, it seems that he is the newly appointed Minister of Dali Temple.

    "My lord, I'm leading the way for my lord Xie, and I specially brought a high-quality wild ginseng here, and I hope my lord will accept it." Dali Temple Minister showed a flattering smile, and held a wooden box as if offering a treasure.

    "Yo, it's still the best century-old wild ginseng." Song Cheng opened the box and looked at it, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Since that's the case, I will accept your whole heart. It's very easy to decide the case. If you are also confused, I will definitely not  Forgive me."

    He handed the box to Jin Yiwei who was wearing a black flying fish robe next to him, patted Dali Siqing on the shoulder, walked outside, passed by Shen Cong, and couldn't help frowning.

    This kid, who rests and bathes every three days, has all his money deducted and doesn't know how to make progress.

    "Thank you, my lord, for giving up my salary and giving it to my subordinates." Shen Cong raised his eyebrows, bowed to Song Cheng from a distance, and then activated the spell, coming straight from the golden halo to the imperial prison.

    "In broad daylight, Shen Cong doesn't know how to restrain himself." Seeing him using spells so ostentatiously, Song Cheng couldn't help shaking his head.

    After all, young, some talents are not secretive.  Such and such will attract the envy of others.

    Forget it, let's go collect some money and come back.

    Thinking of this, Song Cheng sent the minister of Dali Temple away, turned his head and walked towards the outside of Du Wei's mansion.

    The prison is gloomy and cold, and from time to time there are sharp roars of ghosts and ghosts coming from it.

    This is the place where ghosts who committed misdemeanor crimes are imprisoned, and occasionally people are detained, such as the old bustard and her girls involved in the ghost case.

    When Shen Cong came, the wooden door of the interrogation room was pushed open, and a young man wearing a black gauze cap, a black robe, and an arrest order came out.  Brother Young Master is as cold as the moon, when he saw Shen Cong, Gu Jing Wubo's eyes were a little more surprised, and he immediately returned to calm.

    It's Gu Jiuling, why is he wearing the robes of an Anbu police officer?

    "Your Highness." Gu Jiuling bowed to Shen Cong.

    "During the work period, there is no need to call my Highness." Shen Cong waved his hand, "Why did you come to this pickled place?"

    "This subordinate has joined Jinyiwei and is now working in the Yamen of the capital."

    "Did you eat that thing?" Shen Cong was puzzled, twitched his fingers and frowned.

    Gu Jiuling nodded.

    He found a dark layer in the red sandalwood box, which contained a letter written to him by Gu Yuanjia.  After reading it, Gu Jiuling ate the demon pill, and at the same time opened his spiritual root that had been dusty for fifteen years.

    After passing the entry test, Song Cheng placed Gu Jiuling under Shen Cong.

    "That day, what exactly was the talisman you wrote?" Gu Jiuling looked at Shen Cong, and slowly spread her calloused palm.

    "Hidden your breath. If the monster finds out about your fat, my Prince Qin's mansion will be in trouble."

    Shen Cong changed the subject, raised his eyebrows and looked at the former, "I said, young master, don't do a good job as a good general Dingguohou, you have to come here to be a small catcher, do you think your life is too long?"

    Anbu Jinyiwei faced all kinds of monsters and ghosts, and faced death several times more than Mingbu.  If you are not careful, you will step into the abyss.

    There are no bones left.

    "I want to investigate the Miemen case." Gu Jiuling shook her head slowly, her resolute eyes shot out from her cold eyes.

    Shen Cong nodded.

    It is a foregone conclusion to be included in the compilation, so he will bring this little duke to entice him to cultivate.

    "Yun Zhe, both the bustard and the prostitute have been interrogated by the crown prince, and I only learned from the old bustard that the hidden business of human skin trading originated from Chang'an and was sent to all directions." A Jinyi guard next to him bowed to Shen Cong  .

    He is Qin Zheng, a Yamen catcher who belongs to the Anbu, and Shen Cong is a brother who has been through life and death for many years, and their brotherhood is profound.

    Yun Zhe is Shen Cong's small name, and Emperor Jing Yuan did not treat him kindly. After so many years, only Qin Zheng still remembers his small name.

    "Have you passed the interrogation?" Shen Cong rubbed his chin slowly.

    ?Interrogation methods in the army are all used for traitors or enemy bandits, and the methods are more than that of imperial prison.  Gu Jiuling's interrogation is naturally not a problem, so let's get another clue from the old bustard.

     With this in mind, Shen Cong walked over and pushed open the wooden door, and saw the panic-stricken old bustard.  The old bustard's hair was disheveled, his clothes were disheveled, and the smell of blood was extremely strong all over his body. At first glance, he was tortured.

    The only candle in the room was placed on the wooden table, shaking and flickering, making the old bustard look extremely pale.

    Most of the instruments of torture in the Anbu Imperial Prison are aimed at monsters.  If it is placed on a human body, the pain will only be more unbearable.  It's not surprising that she looks like this.

    "What's the use of human skin?" Shen Cong sat down, picked up a cup of tea from Qin Zheng, and slowly stroked the tea cover.

    "My lord, I really don't know. The man peeled off his skin and put it in a box, waiting for someone to pick it up at night. I just obeyed orders." The old bustard trembled when he saw Qin Zheng, and started crying.

    "Cry again and pull out your tongue!" Qin Zheng glared at the bustard impatiently.

    The old bustard trembled for a while, hiccupping and slowly fell silent.

    "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, you are so brave to buy and sell viscera and human skin." Shen Cong slowly put down the teacup, raised his eyelids, and looked coldly.

    The sound of the teacup being placed on the table made no sound, but the old bustard's heart trembled and his body trembled.

    ? Shen Cong's demeanor is dignified and uncommon, and his unflappable appearance is even more terrifying than Qin Zheng's.  Especially in this gloomy place, his red phoenix eyes, like a ghost-faced messenger who can penetrate people's minds, made the old bustard feel even more frightened.

    Trembling for a while, the old bustard was about to say something, when suddenly there was a noisy movement outside.

    The wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and the already weak candle flame was completely dimmed.

    The gloomy air came suddenly.

    "Meow！！"

    A sharp meow came from the front.

    Shen Cong fixed his eyes and met a pair of cat pupils glowing green in the dark.

    The cat's pupils flickered, and gradually became more scarlet.

    The strong smell of blood also came out at this time.

    It's a cat ghost.

    Not good!

    Taking off the jade-faced keel fan at his waist, Shen Cong stood up with a snap of his fingers, and lit a candle.

    The cat ghost had turned into a cloud of green smoke and dispersed, while the old bustard who was sitting opposite was bitten through the skull by the cat ghost, his eyes widened in horror, he twitched for a while, and then lost his breath.

    Skull -

    Slightly squinting, Shen Cong quickly walked around to check, and found a black cat hair on the skull, and the bite marks were 90% similar to those found in the thatched cottage that day.

    Could it be that the day when the big demon wiped out Gu's family, the cat ghost took advantage of the situation and entered at night, picked up a corpse and took it away?

    No, not right.  The bite marks on that day were obviously deeper than today.

    Shen Cong frowned.

    This case seems to involve a lot.

    Now it's getting more and more foggy

 The Case of the Cat Ghost Chapter 14: Entering Anbu and Going to Southern Border

    "Qin Zheng, take her to him for an autopsy. Remember to compare it with the skull from last time." Shen Cong ordered and left the Duwei's mansion.

    When passing the lobby, he stopped slowly.

    In the middle of the high hall, there is an Xiuchun knife hanging on the wall.  The scabbard was somewhat worn, and the demon blood stained on it had turned dark brown. It looked very old and chilling.

    I heard that before Beizhen Fusi changed its name to Duwei's Mansion, there were also two divisions, light and dark, to catch people and demons respectively.

    This Xiuchun knife was owned by Gu Ye, the first demon-slayer from Fusi of Beizhen.  Because of his many great achievements, his stories have been passed down to this day. He is a demon-slaying saber, and he is also enshrined in the Duwei's mansion to deter demons and ghosts.

    At that time, civility was more important than martial arts, and it was already extraordinary for this ancestor to be able to achieve such a level.

    bowing to the embroidered spring knife, Shen Cong left slowly.

    Before stepping out of the Captain's Mansion, a black flying fish robe hurried back.

    "The secret department of the Captain's Mansion listens to the order and gathers in the lobby!" Song Cheng walked towards the lobby, twisting the twirling formula with his wrist, and transmitted the sound to every inch of the Captain's Mansion.

    Shen Cong silently turned his head and turned back.

    Gu Jiuling and Qin Zheng walked out of the prison and stood with Shen Cong.

    "Yun Zhe, what's the matter, why does your lord look so bad?" Qin Zheng asked secretly through voice transmission.

    Shen Cong shook his head.

    He hasn't deduced it yet, and he doesn't know before and after.

    "It was only eight hundred miles south of Xinjiang in a hurry and sent a secret edict. The flood in the Qiantang River was caused by monsters. Their morals were so high that the local Taoists could not suppress them. Please the emperor send Anbu Jinyiwei to help subdue the monsters. Now I am an official, what I want to read  In the name of this official, I will go to the southern border to collect demons together!"

    Song Cheng slowly regained his anxious expression, and began to roll the roll.

    At the end, all three of Shen Cong were read.

    Gu Jiuling frowned, moved the corners of her lips, and was about to speak.

    "In Jinyiwei, if you don't obey orders, you will be kicked out. If you want to investigate the case, don't disobey your superiors." Shen Cong secretly pulled Gu Jiuling back, and sent a voice transmission into the secret road.

    Hearing this, Gu Jiuling lowered her eyes.

    The three of them bowed to each other at the same time and went back home.

    Shen Cong handed over the investigation of human skin trading to He Qi, and then walked into Wuwang Pavilion.

    He knocked on the door and found that the door was bolted, raised his eyebrows and stepped into it step by step from the wall with a golden halo.

    Gu Jiuling, who was packing up his things: "" To him, the door bolt seemed to be just a decoration.

    "Little Marquis, do you know what you will face when you enter the Anbu of Jinyiwei?" Shen Cong sat casually, unfolded the jade-faced keel fan and shook it.

    "Demons and ghosts, the troublemaker is no different from the wicked. Killing the enemy is killing, killing the demon！" Gu Jiuling slowly picked up the sword on the table, held the hilt, pulled the long sword out of the scabbard expressionlessly, and began to wipe it carefully  ,

    "It's also killing."

    The clean sword body refracts the cold light, and one can see the chill and cruelty on the battlefield with just one glance.

    "What a brave little general." Shen Cong laughed, but there was no amusement in his eyes.

    "How can demons and ghosts be treated in the same way as humans? Although there are good monsters, most of them are born cruel and tyrannical. Human nature is nothing more than a display to them. If you make a wrong step, you will lose your bones."

    Those big monsters can destroy the world with a snap of their fingers.

    Furthermore, according to ancient records, although monsters are sanctioned by the law of heaven, after all, the connection between the upper world and the ordinary world is not very close, and it will take a hundred years at the fastest to go back and forth.  When the upper realm comes to the mortal realm, breaking the balance between the demon and the Tao, the strength will be restricted by the realm, and it may not be higher than the Sanxian who is about to ascend, and it may even be counterproductive.

    However, the good and evil monsters restrain each other, and over time, the immortals also turn a blind eye and close one eye, no longer descending to the lower realms, and risking danger to subjugate the demons.

    Gu Jiuling put away the long sword and looked at the former with fixed eyes: "Therefore, please, Your Highness, take the little minister to practice."

    The torrential rain came.

    A group of chariots and horses, which looked unpretentious, took advantage of the night and slowly melted into the rain, leaving the brightly lit city of Chang'an.

    In a carriage in the middle, Shen Cong looked up and down Gu Jiuling who had changed into plain clothes, rubbed his chin and asked him: "Young Master, do you really want me to melt that demon pill for you and turn it into your mana?  "

    The young master sitting across from him was meditating. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and nodded slowly.

    He wanted to personally investigate the case of Miemen, so he had to join the Anbu of Jinyiwei.

    What Jin Yiwei Anbu faced were all demons and ghosts！he was not allowed to be an official in the court for three years before his funeral, and there were other generals guarding the frontier, so he had no worries, and he was not afraid of death.

      As for the demon pill

    Thinking of the letter that was burned by herself, Gu Jiuling's cold eyes gradually became a little more gentle.

    That was the best birthday gift his father gave him.

    "Okay." After thinking for a while, Shen Cong nodded, "The power of the half-celestial being is connected with magic, and it is more pure. It's just that the process is a little painful. If you can't bear it, I will use secret techniques to take it out."

    "I can." Gu Jiuling shook her head.

    He grew up in the frontier since he was a child, and the suffering he has suffered is far beyond what other people can compare.

    His father was Marquis of Dingguo, a well-known general.  But it was precisely because his father was a soldier in his hands that he had been trained more strictly by Gu Yuanjia since he was a child.

    Before hanging down, he fought with dogs, slept with wolves, and was only injured by strong wine;

    When dancing the spoon, he led the army to send out troops, won the first battle, went deep into the enemy's hinterland, and took the head of the Turkic prince.

    This was originally a supreme honor, he was being pursued by all the soldiers with joy, and he was waiting for Gu Yuanjia's praise with joy.

    What can be exchanged is only Gu Yuanjia's scolding.

    He said that he was too reckless. If he was attacked by the enemy, he would die outside the border and never return to his hometown Chang'an.

    Gu Jiuling remembered that it was snowy and windy that day.

    Accompanied by the howling and biting cold wind, he knelt outside the tent all night.

    If they had stayed in the southern border, maybethey wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable end like extinction.

    Gu Jiuling lowered her eyes.

    "Little Marquis, it will still be some time before we arrive in southern Xinjiang. Let me teach you the method of entraining qi to get started, so that you can absorb the magic power of the demon pill." Shen Cong slowly opened his lips, interrupting Gu Jiuling's memories at the right time.

    The little duke raised his head slowly, his clean and clear eyes were bottomless.  From a distance, he was dressed in white clothes, and he looked as elegant as the moon in the clouds.

    "Thank you, Your Highness." Gu Jiuling nodded slightly.

    People on Moshang are like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world, probably it is better.  It's a pity that it seems like a piece of cold jade that can't be covered.

    "There are no rulers and ministers outside, so there is no need to call me Your Highness." Shen Cong secretly sighed with emotion at the good looks of the person in front of him, and Shen Cong sat down slowly, "I will pass on the introductory formula to you, believe it or not, learn it or not, it's all in your mind  .￣

    Each casual cultivator has his own way, and the introductory formulas he comprehend are naturally different.

    If a beginner makes a wrong step, it is a wrong step.  Later, he will only go mad, and there is no cure.

    Shen Cong read out a passage, and seeing that Gu Jiuling seemed puzzled, he drew in the void with spiritual power and wrote it out.

 The Case of the Cat Ghost Chapter 15 Night patrol encounters a demon, Shen Cong is injured

    Some people are born with dull aptitude, and they will step into the realm of foundation building throughout their lives.

    Some people are born with the blessing of the immortal, and within a few dozen years, they have already ascended to the Tao and returned to their innocence.

    Shen Cong used the system to harden the body and recast it, and changed the qualifications of the original owner the day after tomorrow. He has practiced from birth to the present, and only then can he be worthy of the second heaven of foundation building.

    As for Gu Jiuling, after getting started with entraining qi, he never slept or rested on the way, and in just a few days, he stepped into the fifth level of qi training.

    When the demon pill was converted into mana and absorbed, Shen Cong noticed that Gu Jiuling was already convulsed with pain, and cold sweat was pouring out, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

    Even he was amazed by such endurance.

    If you talk about peerless cultivation geniuses, Gu Jiuling is definitely the top one.

    The trail was speeding up, and the group arrived at the border of Shandong within a few days.

    "From the Shandong area, it is Jiangnan. Today I will set up camp here, and tomorrow I will go to the post station to change horses and go on the road." Song Cheng called the horse to stop, and asked the accompanying guards to keep an eye on the food and money used for disaster relief, and went straight  Walk towards Shen Cong.

    On the surface, they were going to collect monsters and relieve disasters, but secretly they got a secret edict from Emperor Jing Yuan.

    Add another batch of rations to the reinforcements, so that the prince can return to the court as soon as possible.

    "Shen Cong, go and inspect the four directions. If there are monsters, they will be killed without mercy." Song Cheng glanced at Gu Jiuling, "You stay and guard the food and pay with Jin Yiwei."

    Gu Jiuling and Shen Cong clasped their fists together and said, "Here."

    After Song Cheng leisurely went to warm the wine by the fire, Shen Cong took out the jade-faced keel fan, stepped out slowly, walked away from the halo, and went straight into the forest in front of him.

    It's the dog days right now, and it's very hot outside, but this mountain forest is cool and cool.

    Even a little cold.

    "Evil spirit?" Shen Cong raised his eyebrows slowly, fluttering his nose.

    Song Cheng must have noticed that there was a demon haunting him, so he asked him to look around.

    This evil spirit seems to be a third-phase monster.

    It seems that the rumors are not false, Song Cheng does have a hand.

    Shen Cong lined up in the void less than an inch above the ground, spread out a corner of the jade fan in his palm, and a golden light suddenly appeared.

    "Fighting in battle, look for it!"

    A ray of monster energy came from the void and merged into the formation of golden light. When Shen Cong saw the golden thread flying out, it flew straight towards him.

    The rustling movement was accompanied by the evil spirit behind him.

    Shen Cong stood up suddenly and took a step forward, a black shadow landed where he was originally.

    Turning his head to look, Shen Cong took a closer look.

    This guy is covered in long black hair, he looks like a shaggy-faced thunderbolt.  Like a monkey but not a monkey, he is tall and majestic, with a pair of scarlet eyes, and at a glance, he is a monster who is ready to kill.

    "Human-faced blue beast, Bingxiang fourth grade, two hundred and seventy-nine years of Taoism." Shen Cong squinted, and the solemnity in his eyes flashed away.

    is a tricky monster.

    The wind comes gradually, and there is no sound in the forest, like everything.

    Beside the convoy, the young man in white wearing a straw hat twitched his brows, slowly opened his cold eyes, and looked towards the dense forest ahead.

    It is the beginning of Maoshi, and the dawn will not come.

    Shen Cong did not return all night.

    Gu Jiuling frowned slightly, and slowly clenched the saber around her waist, suppressing a trace of uneasiness in her heart.

    Song Cheng was already directing the crowd, ready to go.

    Glancing at the undispatched convoy, Gu Jiuling took a step forward and quickly headed towards the dense forest using his lightness kung fu.

    As soon as he entered the dense forest, Gu Jiuling could smell the smell of blood all over the sky, and immediately he saw a monster lying in a pool of blood and dying.

    He frowned again.

    When I came here, the dense forest was quiet and there was no abnormality. How did it change after I entered it?

    Gu Jiuling didn't have time to think about it.

    He saw the black figure kneeling on one knee not far away.

    This figure held the jade-faced keel fan tightly in one hand, and the embroidered spring knife inserted in the ground in the other. The black gauze cap was beaten crookedly, and the temple hair was messy.

    At this time, Shen Cong lowered his head, breathless.

    "Shen Yunzhe!" Gu Jiuling's eyes changed, and he walked over quickly, squatting down to help, when a strong smell of blood came towards him.

    Gu Jiuling looked down.

    There was a puddle of brown blood under Shen Cong's body.

    "Shen Yunzhe, wake up!"

    Gu Jiuling's pupils shrank for a while, and he didn't care about the white robe he had always valued. He quickly sat cross-legged, took Shen Cong's hand and began to instill spiritual energy into him.

    With spiritual nourishment,Cong finally stopped dying.

    He slowly opened his eyes, he was dressed in a white robe, and after a moment of surprise, he raised his eyes and looked to the side.

    It's Gu Jiuling.

    "Gu Anxian, you don't want to die." Shen Cong glanced at the still-struggling human-faced beast from the corner of his eye, and suddenly exerted force in his hand holding the Xiuchun knife, and pulled out the long knife that was deep in the ground.  Throw forward.

    The long knife plunged into the monster's belly, cutting off its breath completely.

    "It's you who wants to die." Gu Jiuling smiled.

    Shen Cong raised his eyebrows.

    Yo, the young prince with a paralyzed face still laughs at him.

    "The convoy is leaving, I'll carry you there." Gu Jiuling was about to get up after speaking, but was held back by a sticky hand.

    "I'm seriously injured, and it's not suitable for recuperation in the carriage. You bring this to Mr. Song, and say that I gave it to the border guards." Shen Cong shook his head, took out a porcelain bottle from the Qiankun bag, and handed it over.

    Gu Jiuling took it, and his eyes fell on Shen Cong's hand.

    Probably due to holding the knife too tightly, there are deep red marks on the palm of the hand, and it seems that flesh and blood can be seen in the next moment.

    "You go first, I will find your traces in a short while after recuperating." Before he could speak, Shen Cong waved his hand to signal Gu Jiuling to leave.

    Gu Jiuling couldn't resist Shen Cong, so he pursed his lips and got up.

    He went to pull out the Xiuchun knife from the belly of the monster, threw it beside Shen Cong, and left without looking back.

    Shen Cong glanced at the blood-stained long knife, reached out to touch the blade, and a golden magic circle suddenly appeared, capturing the breath of the human-faced blue beast and incorporating it into the system.

    "Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing the fourth-rank human-faced green beast of Bingxiang and obtaining a third-rank buff pill!"

    The cold mechanical voice of the system in his mind broke Shen Cong's last trace of sobriety.

    This human-faced blue beast was powerful, and Shen Cong was at a disadvantage from the very beginning, and was beaten to the point where he was powerless to fight.

    Having no choice but to take out the Xiuchun Knife reforged by the system, Shen Cong urged all the spells that the system could give, and took advantage of the dense forest terrain to hit the monster's life gate.

    In the end, both he and the monster were seriously injured.

    The human-faced blue beast has sprouted wisdom, and has set up a formation in the dense forest to block the evil spirit, so that outsiders can't feel any strangeness inside.

    This is why Shen Cong fought fiercely with the monsters, but the outside Jin Yiwei remained indifferent.

    When Gu Jiuling found him, he was at the end of his strength. Even with the support of spiritual energy, he didn't have the energy to meditate anymore.

    A mouthful of blood spilled out of his mouth, Shen Cong shook, and fell completely limp.

    When he was in a coma, there was a burst of golden light between his brows.  The light fell to the ground and turned into a large formation, which actually merged with the barrier.

    When Song Cheng counted the troops, he realized that Gu Jiuling and Shen Cong had disappeared.

    His eyebrows jumped fiercely.

    The two ancestors

 The Cat Ghost Case Chapter 16 Turning back halfway, staying together for nine years (please don't keep a book)

    Song Cheng received the money Huamanlou sent to quell the grievances, and knew that when Shen Cong came out, he left all the shadow guards in Chang'an, and ordered Heqi to investigate the case of human skin trading.

    He didn't bring a shadow guard with him.

    Song Cheng knew that something was wrong when he saw Gu Jiuling coming out of the forest alone, his breath was not disturbed, but the corner of his clothes was stained with blood.

    Shen Cong was definitely attacked.

    "Where's Shen Cong?" Song Cheng stepped forward, came straight to Gu Jiuling, and looked behind him.

    "He told me to go first, not to delay the trip. He entrusted his subordinates to deliver this to the adults, and told the border soldiers." Gu Jiuling handed over the porcelain bottle in his hand, bowing his eyes.

    Song Cheng was stunned, uncorked the porcelain bottle, poured a pill, looked at it carefully for a while, his complexion suddenly changed.

    This This bottle is actually the best first-grade Huiyuan pill?

    If these are melted into water and taken by the soldiers, they will be able to restore their physical strength in an instant, and they will not feel hungry or cold for seven days.  Although there is only one bottle, it is enough to distribute to every soldier.

    In the situation of extreme shortage of food and wages, this elixir is the most precious and priceless treasure.

    What's more, Liangdan itself is hard to find.

    Song Cheng carefully put away the elixir, put the porcelain bottle in his sleeve robe, and walked slowly towards the dense forest.

    After only taking three steps, he stopped.

    In the dense forest ahead, birds chirping, cicadas singing, and streams gurgling.

    Stretching out his hand slowly, Song Cheng's fingers touched the void, which was a colorless barrier.

    The looming golden light envelops the entire dense forest.

    Song Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

    Hearing from the emperor, Shen Cong has been associated with the immortal family's great powers since he was a child, and just now he was able to practice Taoism, worship in the Anbu of Jinyiwei, and slay demons.

    It's just that this kind of formation enchantment doesn't seem to come from the mortal realm.

    It's a little bit like coming from another world.

    There is a sky beyond the sky, and there is a boundary outside the boundary.

    Shen Cong was injured, he was somewhat to blame - he should have deduced the monster's skills in advance.

    However, right now, it is really not possible to delay the trip, if you go one minute later, Jin Yiwei will lose his head.  Since this barrier is protecting Shen Cong's life, then！！

    "Let's go, pass Shandong!" Song Cheng no longer hesitated, and immediately flicked his wrist, Nian Jue wrote a talisman on the barrier, then turned his head and strode towards the convoy.

    The chariot followed the horse and drove away the dust.

    Under Song Cheng's urging, Gu Jiuling slowly got into the carriage.

    Before leaving, he glanced back at the forest.

    Those cold eyes swayed along with the carriage.

    The stars and the moon are shining brightly, and the breeze is blowing.

    In the dense forest.

    The thin aura on all sides glowed with gentle white light, and the breeze that came slowly floated above the young man in Xuanyi.  The spiritual energy swayed for a while, and slowly condensed into drizzle, which evenly fell on every inch of the young master.  The rain seeped through the robe and went straight into the skin bag.

    Shen Cong's eyebrows twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.

    The dantian was full, and the overflowing spiritual power traversed his tendons, which not only opened up his tendons, but also indirectly healed his injuries.

    Fortunately, the system's magic hand rejuvenation was saved, and it was used when he was about to die.

    Shen Cong stood up cross-legged and began to meditate with his eyes closed.

    At that time, a white shadow came riding on the moonlight and stopped in front of the barrier.

    Shirai Shadow stretched out his hand, and his fingers went straight through the barrier.

    Slightly startled, Bai Ying stepped in.

    The moment he stepped into the dense forest, he felt a chill on his neck.

    "Don't move around, sir, this Xiuchun knife doesn't have eyes." A hoarse and deep voice came from the front.

    "Shen Yunzhe." Bai Ying didn't move, and slowly opened his voice, the voice was as cold as its master.

    Is it Gu Jiuling?

    Shen Cong put down the embroidered spring knife, raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man in white clothes in front of him: "Didn't you go to southern Xinjiang with Jin Yiwei?"

    Gu Jiuling didn't speak, but looked down at the palm.

    Unexpectedly, he could dissolve Shen Cong's barrier.

    "The master of the half-immortal demon pill has an extraordinary background, and can penetrate any enchantment in the mortal world. You have inherited its demon law, and it will naturally teach you all." Putting the Xiuchun knife into the universe bag, Shen Cong took off the folding fan at his waist  , hit the ground suddenly.

    The golden light is overflowing, and the formation suddenly appears.

    After consolidating the barrier, Shen Cong let out a long breath, and his eyes were a little more imperceptibly tired.

    This enchantment is formed by the condensation of spells from his whole body.

    He didn't use his strength for the second time."Gu Anxian, I'm going to take a bath and take a rest. Be careful around, there are still monsters in the dark."

    Hearing this, Gu Jiuling raised her eyes, watched the black figure walking towards the creek in the forest, and subconsciously clenched the sword around her waist.

    He was really worried about Shen Cong, just said goodbye to Song Cheng on the way, and turned back on his horse.

    Seeing that Shen Cong was unharmed, Gu Jiuling relaxed slightly and walked around the edge of the barrier.

    Before you know it, it's the end of the child's time and the beginning of the ugly time.

    In the dense forest, only the chirping of cicadas can be heard, but no insects or birds move.

    Gu Jiuling didn't feel sleepy at all, her cold gaze fell somewhere outside the barrier, and she froze immediately.

    As far as the eye can see, it is a towering tree.  Beside the big tree, there was a strange cloud of black air that was erratic.

    When Gu Jiuling looked over, the black air turned into a pale ghost and rushed towards him.

    It's a pity that just after encountering the enchantment, Li Gui's two white hands emitted a puff of blue smoke.

    Li Gui screamed and let go of his hand. Realizing that there was an enchantment ahead, he backed away and fled.

    Gu Jiuling narrowed his eyes slightly, stepped out of the barrier in one step, and leaned forward with his long sword.

    The long sword was unleashed by Shen Cong, which can kill people as well as monsters.

    The moment the sword body sank into Li Gui's back, it instantly turned into a cloud of green smoke and dispersed.

    Gu Jiuling put the sword back into its sheath, and turned around slowly.

    He was wearing a black robe, and the robe was randomly split on his body by this son, revealing his wheat-colored skin.

    The undried three-thousand-long hair was casually scattered on the shoulders, the young master spread out the jade-faced keel fan and shook it for a while, then raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Your body is not for your greed."

    Gu Jiuling looked away and coughed uncomfortably.

    "The first sword cut a Ding Xiang third-rank ghost. He has good qualifications and is worthy of being my master's apprentice." Shen Cong suddenly closed his folding fan and pulled Gu Jiuling into the barrier.

    The evening is slightly cool, and the morning frost is gradually showing.

    "Wait until dawn, I'll set off to catch up with the army. Can you give Song Cheng that bottle of elixir?" Shen Cong sat down casually, used magic to collect some firewood and lit it, and squinted his eyes to warm the fire comfortably.

    "Yes." Gu Jiuling nodded lightly.

    Shen Cong also stopped talking.

    Those are all the first-grade Huiyuan pills given to him by the system, and they are also the only pills that can be taken out based on his current qualifications.

    Shen Cong went inside to check his dantian, and Shen Cong suddenly found that his dantian was constantly replenishing his aura.

    Most likely it was also caused by the system.

    That's fine too.

    Shen Cong sighed, grabbed a piece of grass and held it in his mouth, fell to the ground with his head up, made pillows with his hands, and began to close his eyes and meditate.

    The corner of Gu Jiuling's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at his little dude's appearance.

    Earlier, I heard from several Jin Yiwei who were traveling with me that King Qin and the crown prince came out successively.

    Now seeing him like this, although he has a somewhat dignified demeanor, it is more of the unrestrained and free and easy in the Jianghu, which is really believable.

 The Cat Ghost Case Chapter 17 Disaster Relief and Food, Song Cheng Shows His Power

    Since ancient times, emperors have been so ruthless, and under the royal court, there seems to be no real relatives.

    Thinking of this, Gu Jiuling looked into Shen Cong's eyes with an imperceptible pity.

    At dawn, Shen Cong opened his eyes, and his eyes were sparkling.

    After resting for one night, 90% of the aura in the dantian returned, and his cultivation also increased by itself. Although it was not as good as the third heaven, it reached the acquired state of the second heaven.

    He slowly got up and looked at the young man in white beside him.

    Gu Jiuling was dressed in sackcloth like snow, and the half moon on his forehead was exceptionally clear in the slightly drunken warm sun.  He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in meditation, even if he didn't move, it was a scene of his own.

    However, Shen Cong was paying attention to the two counterbalancing sorcery and mana in Gu Jiuling's body！the two clearly coexist and restrain each other, but they coexist harmoniously, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.

    It's really strange.

    Probably because Shen Cong's sizing was too obvious, Gu Jiuling's eyebrows moved, and he slowly opened his cold eyes, looking at the former.

    "They have arrived in the south of the Yangtze River." Shen Cong got up and adjusted his outfit, tied the black gauze hat firmly, twisted his fingers to calculate, and then turned his head to glance at the barrier, "Let's lead the horse and go."

    Gu Jiuling got up and walked outside the forest.

    As far as the eye could see, it was a shriveled horse corpse that had been drained of energy.

    It's the ghost from yesterday.

    "Its merits and virtues are complete, and you can be reborn as a human in the next life." Shen Cong suddenly walked over and patted Gu Jiuling on the shoulder, "Gu Jia Anxian, I will take you away."

    After finishing speaking, he took off the jade-faced keel fan at his waist with one hand, grabbed the latter's sleeve with the other, and stepped forward.

    A golden halo suddenly appeared, and when the two entered, it turned into another world in front of them.

    The sky was gloomy, and the ground was full of jagged puddles.  The mountains and clear waters in the four directions are clearly beautiful, but they give people a different kind of cold feeling, as if this place is a place of evil spirits.

    Here, it is Jiangnan.

    And the group of people in front of Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling were Jin Yiwei who was helping the people, as well as local officers and soldiers.

    Seeing the two people appearing out of nowhere, the Jinyi guards looked numb and accustomed to it, but those officers and soldiers were so excited that they were incoherent when they saw Lingxiu who used magic spells for the first time.

    "Don't lose your identity, and meet His Highness King Qin soon." The leader of the team recognized Shen Cong, lowered his eyes, covered his fists and coughed.

    Is he the only spiritual cultivator in the imperial family of the Celestial Dynasty, His Royal Highness King Qin?

    All the officers and soldiers were shocked.

    "I've seen Your Highness in my humble position, His Highness has been around for a thousand years!" The officers and soldiers returned to their senses and quickly knelt down and bowed.

    "Outside I'm just a Jinyiwei, and I don't need to be called His Highness by the name." Shen Cong waved his hand nonchalantly, signaling him to stand up, and turned to look at Song Cheng, who was there not far away, who was questioning the people.

    Song Cheng was holding a chicken in his left hand and a duck in his right, with a string of native eggs hanging around his neck.  If it wasn't for this black flying fish robe, Shen Cong would have almost regarded him as someone who came to visit relatives in the countryside.

    ?The Qiantang River was flooded, and the crops were destroyed, and there was no harvest.  The people were already starved to the point of emaciation, but he, a good man, could still scrape out poultry.

    Shen Cong shook his head, and followed Jin Yiwei to find the local magistrate to open a warehouse to donate food. While taking out food to help the victims, he went to check the source of the flood.

    "So, that monster was ready to move half a year ago, but was suppressed by the Taoist priests to no avail, and that's why it caused floods in the world?" Here, Song Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing what the commoner said.

    "Exactly. When the grassroots inspected the crops with the imperial envoy who came to search, the monster woke up, and then caused floods in the Qiantang River, drowned many villagers, picked up their corpses, dismantled them, and ate them.  .￣

    The speaker was in tears, and the muddy tears rolled down with the mud and sand on his face.

    Song Cheng stuffed the chicken and duck to the old man, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Take these and burn them and eat them. As for subduing demons, just leave it to me."

    The old man looked at the poultry in his hand and always felt familiar.

    Suddenly seeing a brand mark on the duck, he shivered suddenly.

    "Is thisfrom Huang Yuanwai?" The old man's body trembled subconsciously.

    "Just now I went to visit. Mr. Huang is not confused by outsiders, but he is strong, and he doesn't need these poultry. He will serve it to my official, and this official is not good at it, so I will wait for you to go home and eat."

    After Song Cheng finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the man not far away, smiling, "Really, Yuanwai Huang?"

    There stood a middle-aged man in a brocade robe.  The man has a stout figure, a pair of big and round eyes like a copper bell, and the black gauze hat on his head makes him look like a Stove Prince.

      Seeing his gaze, he hurriedly smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay. If adults feel that the grass people and poultry are not very suitable, the grass people will order the cook to cook some Jiangnan meals for you adults."

    "It should be so." Song Cheng nodded as he should, and shouted at the Jinyi guards, as well as the officers and soldiers, and followed Huang Yuanwai to the mansion in a mighty manner.

    When Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling came back with several brocade guards and pushed several carts of grain, they found that only Qin Zheng was still there to distribute grain.

    "Where did the person go?"

    Shen Cong looked at the empty shed and asked with a frown.

    "They are all eating delicacies from mountains and seas at Huang Yuanwai's house." Qin Zheng was so busy, but his mouth was free to say a word.

    Seeing this, Shen Cong stepped forward to join hands with Gu Jiuling and several Jin Yiwei.

    After a short while, the people who received the rice finally dispersed.

    At that time, a strong shock came from a distance.

    "There's a flood! There's a flood! Folks, run away!"

    In the distance, a young man with a bamboo basket on his back was pale and ran towards here in a panic, shouting in all directions.

    The crowd was in chaos, and before they had time to tidy up their clothes, they dragged their families and ran to the slopes of the mountains not far away.

    Shen Cong looked forward, squinting slightly.

    Demon spirit

    At that time, Song Cheng came out leisurely with a group of Jinyi guards and officers and soldiers who had eaten and drank well.

    Hearing that there was a flood, Song Cheng commanded the Jin Yiwei and officers and soldiers without changing his face, and led the villagers to evacuate in an orderly manner.

    Seeing the three of Shen Cong not far away, Song Cheng frowned and said: "Don't get in the way there, don't back down."

    Shen Cong raised his eyebrows, bowed as he said, and retreated to the top of the mountain not far away together with Gu Jiuling and Qin Zheng.

    Or, tell him to see how strong this commander is.

    The flash flood mixed with mud, sand, trees and broken branches swept in, like a huge water monster.  The hurricane came from nowhere, making the torrent flow like a big ship with its sails up, and it was so terrifying!

    Seeing that the flood was getting closer and closer, the black flying fish robe still remained motionless, and the people on the high mountain were so frightened that they even held their breath unconsciously.

    Speaking of Song Cheng again, after feeling the majestic demonic aura between the mountains and torrents, he slowly closed his eyes, quickly formed seals with his hands, and chanted formulas in his mouth.

    "Suppress the demons of heaven and earth, as urgently as a law!"

    Song Cheng opened his eyes suddenly, and the golden light flashed away in his eyes.

    He stretched out his hand and patted forward, a golden light suddenly appeared in the void, and the strong wind blew up, making Song Cheng's robe bulge!

    The golden light quickly evolved into a yin-yang gossip array with a radius of several tens of feet, which forcibly stopped the raging mountain torrent with his own strength.

    The ground trembled more and more, and a gloomy voice came from the mountain torrent

 Main Text Chapter 18 Qinhuai River Night, Meeting Chen Xin by Occasion

    At the end of the high mountain, Shen Cong stopped and looked out.

    After the formation, a mountain torrent stood tall, suddenly turned into a skull, and hit the formation with the top of its head！this force was so violent that it split the formation into two large cracks.

    "Jin Yiwei listens to the order, spread the net!" Slightly narrowing his eyes, Song Cheng shouted loudly, and the knot seal in his hand became more and more dazzling.

    A group of brocade guards in black flying fish robes who were originally guarding the people on the top of the mountain heard what Song Cheng said, and stepped forward in unison.  In just a short while, dozens of people came to the latter's side.

    Seeing this, Gu Jiuling also stepped forward, but Shen Cong stretched out his hand to stop him.

    "Why not go?" Gu Jiuling was puzzled.

    "Because I'm not qualified enough to wait." Shen Cong shook his head slightly, pointing to the robes of the three of them.

    Seeing that the young master seemed puzzled, Qin Zheng simply told him about Jinyiwei.

    The Jinyiwei system of the Celestial Dynasty was inherited from the former Ming Dynasty.

    The former are all black flying fish robes, they are above them, they are working in the yamen now, they are rankless petty officials, they can only wear black bullfighting robes with their subordinates.

    ?After you have a rank, you can change into a black flying fish robe, and if you are bestowed by the emperor, you can wear a boa robe and enjoy supreme glory.

    If you wear a robe that is not of the same rank, you will be regarded as not obeying the master's order.

    In Jinyiwei, those who do not obey the order will be severely punished and expelled.

    Gu Jiuling heard Qin Zheng's words and felt thoughtful.

    It turns out that Jinyiwei is as strict as the military system and cannot be violated.

    In this room, a group of Jin Yiwei appeared, their wrists were turned, and they all chanted "jue".

    Strips of golden light emerged in their palms, flying into the void and turning into filaments.  The filaments criss-crossed and connected into a net, Song Cheng suddenly shouted, and slapped forward with his palm.

    The big net suddenly closed, and it actually wrapped and absorbed all the mountain torrents, and even contained the gloomy and terrifying roar.

    The mountain torrents receded suddenly, but the houses that were swept away were destroyed and not in good shape.

    Song Cheng raised his hand and withdrew from the magic circle, exhaling heavily.

    Wiping the cold sweat off his face casually, he made another seal, turning the net into a ball of kits and putting it in the palm of his hand.

    The ball trembled violently, as if it was dying.

    Song Cheng bit his finger and wrote a talisman on the ball. The talisman turned into golden light and melted into it. The ball emitted a puff of green smoke, and then trembled and fell silent.

    Throwing the ball to Jin Yiwei beside him, Song Cheng was about to say something when his nose fluttered and his gaze changed.

    Huang Yuanwai's family has evil spirits!

    A group of Jin Yiwei kicked open the closed wooden door and broke into the lobby.

    Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling followed Song Cheng, and when they saw the latter raising his hand, they stopped, but their eyes followed the guards in Jinyi to look inward.

    Corpses were strewn all over the ground, all of them were bitten through their heads and died！a familiar technique.

    Another cat ghost.

    Shen Cong stroked his chin slowly.

    "Seal this place, move the corpse, and look for any traces of monsters!" Song Cheng opened his lips coldly.

    There was a trace of anger in his eyes.

    Dare to kill people under his nose, how brave!

    I heard that Huang Yuanwai's entire family was dead, and when the common people came to watch, they didn't forget to point and point, but they all cursed secretly！！

    "That Huang Yuanwai usurped our fertile land and withheld taxes from long-term workers on weekdays. He deserved to be exterminated."

    "Although it's a bit miserable, I just feel very happy. The long-term worker is not a slave, he regards himself as the emperor of the land. My Shuan Zi worked under his hands and died in three years. My poor grandson!"

    "Yes, my old man plows his family's land, and the grain harvested in four mu of land in a year is not enough for the two of us to live on."

    "" ""

    Listening to their whispering, Shen Cong couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

    It turned out to be a malignant tumor, and I was in front of Tai Sui.

    "Shen Cong, Gu Jiuling listens." Song Cheng in front suddenly opened his lips.

    "My subordinates listen to the order!" Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling stepped forward at the same time, bowing to Song Cheng.

    "The war in southern Xinjiang is imminent. I ordered you two to send the military salary. We will set off early in the morning, and there must be no delay!" Song Cheng handed a token to Shen Cong, "Go back to Beijing with His Royal Highness, and you are not allowed to turn back privately."

    Shen Cong took the token and frowned slightly.

    Could it be that that monster is just a clone?

    "That monster is extremely fierce and can attract mountain torrents. It is by no means an ordinary person. When you are weak, you will honestly escort the army rations. If you go outMy son, I am the only one asking questions from you two!  "After Song Cheng finished speaking, he waved his hands and drove the two of them out of Huang Yuanwai's mansion.

    Shen Cong twitched the corners of his mouth.

    Forget it, let's go escort the rations.

    Speaking of which, it has been a long time since I saw his brother.

    "Gu Anxian, can you know the way?" Concentrating his thoughts, Shen Cong looked sideways at the cold young boy beside him.

    "In the early years, my father and I went to southern Xinjiang to survey the topography of the Great Wall, and we are near the Prince's barracks today." Gu Jiuling nodded.

    After throwing the token in his hand, Shen Cong suddenly walked forward.

    "I'm going to buy a pot of Jiangnan's fine wine, and enjoy the beauty of Jiangnan Huakui again." Shen Cong said while waving at Gu Jiuling, "Kids, go back and pack your bags."

    "Vulgar." Gu Jiuling turned her head expressionlessly and returned to the station.

    Jinling City at night can be said to be brightly lit. Compared with Chang'an, it is even better.

    ? Painting boats on the Qinhuai River come and go one after another, and the sound of the pipa is slow.

    On a high wall in a certain corner, a golden halo suddenly appeared, and a young man in a black bullfighting robe and a black gauze hat walked out.

    Shen Cong jumped to the eaves, sat down freely, raised a wine jar, and swigged his head back.

    Jiangnan wine is also wonderful, and Jiangnan beauties are also wonderful.

    While leisurely, Shen Cong began to think about the case of the cat ghost in Huangfu.

    Cat ghosts can't be raised overnight.  And the ancient method has been lost since the Sui and Tang Dynasties.  Just now when he was looking for clues of monsters in Huangfu, he saw a bunch of black cat fur.

    It was exactly the same as what I saw in the imperial prison that day, and so was the breath.

    The corpse of the cat ghost in the Miemen case also had a bunch of black cat hair, but the hair color was dull, and it looked like it had been a few years old.

    "Your Highness is so excited." While Shen Cong was thinking deeply, a lazy voice suddenly came.

    Shen Cong glanced sideways, and caught a glimpse of a bamboo hat standing on a corner of the eaves.

    This son was born with a face like a peach blossom, and his eyes are particularly clever, like a jade-faced fox.

    "I haven't seen you for a few years, you kid is good at light work." Shen Cong laughed, and threw a jug of wine over.

    The young master reached out to catch it, jumped to Shen Cong's side, sat down with him, pulled out the cork and started drinking leisurely.

    It turned out that this young master's name was Chen Xin, he was a well-known knight-errant in the world, his lightness kung fu was superb, and he had attracted many seniors in the martial arts conference, feeling ashamed.

    "The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful. I came here to marry a girl." Chen Xin grinned.

    "Has He Qi contacted you?" Shen Cong asked suddenly, nodding his head.

    "Yes, wait for the young master to drink tea first." After Chen Xin finished speaking, he took out a pot of warm tea from his bosom, put down the wine pot, and drank heavily.  </div&gt

 Main Text Chapter 19 Arriving at the Great Wall, Brothers Meet

    "Tea has the aroma of wine?" Shen Cong shook the flagon in his hand and raised his eyebrows.

    "Master, this is a high-quality Dahongpao. It is naturally fragrant. Alright, let's get down to business." Chen Xin put down the teapot, his eyes became more serious, "Secret information shows that human skin trading has been going on for decades.  Appeared, and the scope is very wide, involving all countries in the world. I said, Your Highness, do you really want to investigate?"

    He is not just a grand thief.

    He is also a world-renowned intelligence agency, the master of the secret door.

    When Shen Cong went out to search for immortals, he met Chen Xintong and became friends, so he knew his identity as the master of the secret sect, but he never used this relationship.

    Until he came across this human skin trade, he remembered the lightness kung fu master he met when he went south, so he gave He Qi the contact method, and asked He Qi to contact Chen Xin to help investigate the matter.

    "Human life is a matter of heaven, why don't you investigate it?" Shen Cong leaned on the bricks and tiles lazily, listening to the pipa music quietly, but his eyes were clear and firm, "I want to catch the murderer and punish him severely!"

    "Your Highness is really Bao Qingtian reincarnated." Chen Xin sighed, "Okay, I will mobilize the secret forces in the south of the Yangtze River to investigate the case of human skin trading."

    He stood up abruptly, held the teapot and bowed to Shen Cong, then grinned: "Your Highness, see you soon!"

    After saying that, he jumped up, and his clothes flew away, and this tall and thin young man melted into the extravagant night.

    ? On the banks of the Qinhuai River, an oiran of an unknown family sang Qinhuai Scenery. Shen Cong listened to it, recalling a movie he had seen in his first life, and unconsciously hummed a ditty along with it.

    "I have a love affair, please listen to the song！"

    At the end of Yinshi the next day, Shen Cong washed up early, and together with Gu Jiuling, they transported the army rations and left quietly through the official road.

    After another three or five days, the two of them worked together to kill a group of bandits who had come to snatch government food, and finally arrived at the Great Wall in southern Xinjiang, where the prince garrisoned.

    Just as the sun was setting, a group of soldiers in battle armor were observing the map of the steep mountains on the border of Dali in the commander's camp.

    "Your Highness, the general thought that the Yulong Mountain on the border of Dali was snowed all the year round and was uninhabited. If he sneaked in from there, it would be possible to break the city and get food." A general with disheveled hair and sharp eyes pointed at a mountain range and looked at the young man in front of him.  General.

    The young general is dressed in bright armor, with a high blue silk and jade crown, and a red cloth on his head to wipe his forehead.  A pair of long eyes are warm and resolute, and her demeanor is like the breeze of the moonlight, which is as discordant as this frontier full of chills.

    If you take a closer look, you will find that this general is 80% similar to Shen Cong.  The difference between the remaining two points is the temperament of the two.

    That's right, this general is Shen Yu, the Crown Prince of the Celestial Dynasty.

    "No. The spies reported that the Yulong Mountains are extremely steep, and wolves often come and go at night. If you are not careful, you will attract the attention of the enemy." Shen Ting shook her head, continued to look at the border map, and began to think about counterattack routes.

    Just as he was about to say something, a small soldier rushed in from outside, clasped his fists and bowed to the soldiers, and said excitedly, "Report! King Qin and Dingguo are waiting to send tens of thousands of jin of military pay to support our army, and they have now arrived at the garrison."  The area!"

    Ah Cong is here?

    Ding Guohou is also here?

    "Quickly follow the prince to meet him!" Shen Xuan was overjoyed and hurried out of the commander's tent.

    The setting sun in southern Xinjiang is very beautiful, the evening breeze is coming slowly, and the flags are fluttering.

    Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling stood outside the barracks, and when they saw the figure like pearls and jade approaching in a hurry, they both stepped forward and bowed their heads: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

    "You can just call my brother." Shen Yu hurriedly helped Shen Cong up, looked him up and down, and said with emotion, "Long time no see, Ah Cong has lost weight."

    Looking at Gu Jiuling again, Shen Yu realized that it was not Gu Yuanjia, she was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered the massacre of the Gu family that she had heard about some time ago, she could not help but sigh.

    Such a good minister and general fell into the hands of the great demon.

    "It's hard for you two to come all the way to southern Xinjiang to deliver food. I don't know how to send more soldiers." Shen Yu patted the shoulders of the two of them, turned to look at the general who was following her, "Zhang  General, pass on the order to cook cattle and slaughter sheep today to reward the three armies!"

    "The last general obeys!" The messy-haired general cupped his fists, turned his head and left.

    Shen Ting ordered all the soldiers to provide food and pay, and then they led Shen Cong to the commander's camp, and ordered his subordinates to fetch the two jars of wine that were kept under his bed, and filled three large pottery bowls.

    "A Cong, let's try the strong wine brewed by the emperor, but it still tastes to you." Shen Yu was sitting on top, holding up the pottery bowl, raised it to Shen Cong, and then raised it to Gu Jiuling, smiling slightly, "Young Lord also  Try it."

    "Thank you, Your Highness." Gu Jiuling saidWith eyes wide open, he and Shen Cong drank heavily together.

    Shen Cong put down the big bowl, praised him a bit, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw the former's unrestrained and heroic appearance.

    It turns out that the little Marquis of Dingguo, who is as breezy as the emperor's brother, would be so forthright.

    "Ah Cong came here this time, when will he return?" Shen Ting put down the pottery bowl and asked suddenly.

    "Master Song ordered the two of us to go back together with Brother Huang." Shen Cong smiled slightly, "When Brother Huang defeats Dali, I can return to Chang'an at any time."

    Thinking of something, he took out another porcelain bottle and handed it over.

    "This is the elixir I made. When it is melted and taken, it will keep the soldiers from starving and cold for seven days." He originally wanted Song Cheng to send it on his behalf, but Song Cheng sent him to send the medicine back to him.  The pill was returned to himself.

    So, Shen Cong brought it out by himself.

    "Okay, then the emperor will repel Dali earlier, and you and I will return to the court together!" Hearing this, Shen Xuan immediately put away the porcelain vase, and as soon as she slapped the table, several soldiers who didn't like drinking quickly came to discuss the matter of fighting back against Dali  .

    The night is bright and the stars are sparse, and the bright moon hangs high.

    Shen Cong took a bath in the nearby stream and felt hot, so he casually put on a long robe and went outside the barracks.

    Not far away in the sparse forest, a young man in white can be seen vaguely.

    The young man stood facing the wind with a long sword in his back.

    A withered yellow leaf fell on the young man's shoulder with the wind, and the young man suddenly pulled out the sword flower and began to move his figure.

    One step at a time, the sword is drawn, and one sword falls at a time.

    When the young man turned his head with the blade of the sword, Shen Cong, who was standing still, met his frosty eyes.

    Shen Cong sacrificed the Xiuchun Knife in Qiankun's bag, stepped out in one step, entered from the golden halo, and came straight to the young man. When he slashed with the long knife, he rushed away with a fierce aura.

    ?Gu Jiuling's gaze flickered, and he quickly greeted him with his sword, blocking the knife that stabbed at his vital gate with his strong inner strength.

    "Good skill, come again!" Shen Cong smiled, and then waved the long knife in his hand.

    Gu Jiuling didn't show mercy, and used 90% of his internal energy to fight him.

    When the sword and sword collided, Shen Cong slipped over the former's hairpin inadvertently, and cut off the white jade hairpin, causing Gu Jiuling's black hair to fall down suddenly.

    This young man has an indistinguishable appearance, and his white clothes are loose at night. Although he is very cold, he looks like a daughter's family.

    "Shen Yunzhe!" Gu Jiuling quickly retracted his sword and stepped back, gritting his teeth and staring at the former.

    "The little general who crossed the battlefield turned out to be a beauty." Shen Cong didn't care about his cold gaze, grinned, took out a white jade hairpin from his bosom and threw it over, "Gu Jia Anxian, master  Not interested in men." </div&gt

 Main Text Chapter 20 Dali is defeated, triumphant

    Gu Jiuling caught the jade hairpin and tied up her long hair, glanced coldly at the dude-like prince, turned her head and left.

    Shen Cong watched his leaving back, the playful look in his eyes slowly subsided, and turned into a depth that others could not understand.

    The sorcery and spells on Gu Anxian's body seemed to be deliberately done by someone, as if they were hiding something for him.

    What exactly is it.

    Rubbing his chin, Shen Cong couldn't deduce any clues, so he simply meditated on the spot, and began to practice with the help of this heaven and earth aura.

    Probably due to the rich aura in the south of the Yangtze River, Shen Cong found that his foundation-building second heaven finally showed signs of moving towards the third heaven.

    Unlike a certain Marquis who was born with eternal blessings, he can be said to be like a fish in water when he cultivates.

    Presumably, within a few months, he will be able to catch up with the master who introduced him.

    In the early morning of the next day, a group of archers in light clothes quietly touched the foot of Yulong Mountain at dawn.

    Shen Ting stood on the Great Wall, watching the archers go away, the flying banners and the rising sun reflected in her gentle eyes.

    Beside him, stood two young masters in black bullfighting robes.

    "Little Marquis, can this plan work?" Shen Ting asked slowly with her lips parted.

    "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles." Gu Jiuling also watched the archers go away, his body was still cold, but his eyes and eyebrows showed the unique strategy of the battlefield. Such a young and mature appearance could not help but attract Shen Xi's attention.

    "Why did you say that?" Shen Ting raised her eyebrows, and the light in her eyes flashed away.

    "Dali General Duan Zhengqing is very suspicious and acts carefully. Yulong Mountain is steep and close to the border of Dali. It is a favorable place at the right time. If he passes Yulong Mountain smoothly and sneaks into the enemy from here, it is bound to break through its frontier."

    Gu Jiuling felt the coercion from the superior, with a calm expression on his face, "Your Highness can think of this, and Duan Zhengqing, who is as sophisticated as he is, will naturally think of it. Last night, when I was watching from the side, there was the sound of cold armor sharpening knives and iron cavalry. Come to think of it,  It is heavily guarded."

    "Then why, Lord Hou ordered the prince to send troops to attack from Yulong Mountain?" Shen Xuan raised her eyebrows again.

    "This is to know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. Duan Zhengqing is conceited and smart, and he is sure that we know that he will guard the dangerous places with heavy troops, so as to relax other fortresses. Our army attacked from the plain fortress, right in his arms."

    Speaking of this, Gu Jiuling curled his lips slightly, "It's just that he is too conceited."

    Duan Zhengqing thought they would give up crossing Jade Dragon Mountain and attack the Dali frontier from the plain, so he sent heavy troops to guard the other sides.  The so-called heavy soldiers in that precipitous place are nothing but a gimmick to bluff people.

    After taking the elixir brought by Shen Cong, the bow soldiers went over there after strengthening their strength, put on plain clothes and pretended to be refugees, followed his tricks to deceive a few soldiers, and then sneaked into the city.  With 200,000 cavalry attacking the city, Duan Zhengqing must have no time to withdraw his troops to defend the city.

    Therefore, for people and harmony.

    It is only a matter of timing when the right time, place and people are in harmony, and Dali turns north.

    "In the past, I heard that the first ruler of the country was going to war in the south and the north, and his son, the young general Gu Jiuling, had the reputation of the war god Wei Qinghuo Qubing in the past. Seeing you today, it really is not a vain name. It is a great fortune to have you in my heavenly dynasty!"

    Shen Ting suddenly laughed loudly, patted Gu Jiuling on the shoulder, turned her eyes sideways, looked at the general with an admiring expression beside her, and said solemnly, "Pass down the order, the whole army is strictly waiting, and follow the crown prince to the Dali frontier to capture Duan Zhengqing alive  !"

    "The last general takes orders!"

    Shen Cong looked at his high-spirited imperial brother and the long red band on his forehead, his eyes were slightly in a trance.

    Throughout the ages, the battlefield has been a place for soldiers to leave their names in history.

    Throw your head and sprinkle your blood.

    Conquering the South and the North, the soldiers and horses lived their lives.

    Blood flowed into rivers, and corpses littered the fields.

    Just a few words, it is a tragic battle in the history books.

    As everyone knows, what a bloody and desolate battlefield is covered under these few sentences.

    According to historical records, in the tenth year of Jingyuan in the Tian Dynasty, at the end of August, it coincided with the three-volt period.

    Prince Shen Xuan, with the strategy of establishing the country and waiting for Gu Jiuling, attacked east and west, commanded 200,000 cavalry, smashed the Dali frontier fortress, and captured the general Duan Zhengqing alive.

    Dali was defeated, and he was willing to bow down and proclaim himself a vassal, paying tribute to the Celestial Dynasty.

    After this battle, the crown prince Shen Yu became famous in the heavenly court.

    At the beginning of September, the army returned triumphantly, and the squadron returned to the court.

    ? On Chang'an Street, the common people threw carts full of fruits and sincerely faced the front section of the army, and the young prince who was walking on the horse knelt down and kowtowed.

    "Congratulations to His Royal Highness, Your Highness, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!2 years old!  "

    Shen Ting responded with a smile from left to right, like pearls and jade, with a calm and graceful appearance of a gentleman, attracting the hearts of a large number of young girls.

    His Royal Highness the crown prince has been weak for three years, but there is only one princess concubine in the mansion, not even a concubine.  On weekdays, it is a good story in Chang'an that the crown prince and the crown princess raised their eyebrows together.

    Such an elegant and self-respecting person, even if she marries him as a concubine, she will not feel disadvantaged.

    What's more, His Royal Highness is the king of today's name and future dynasty.

    Once entering the palace, the whole body is full of glory.

    Why not do it.

    In front of the palace, Emperor Jing Yuan led all the civil and military officials to welcome Shen Ting back to the court.

    The army came from afar and stopped at the main entrance of the palace in an orderly manner.

    "My son pays homage to the father, long live the father and Jin'an." Shen Yu fell off the horse, and the sound of the battle armor rubbing was very clear.

    He bowed his head and bowed, followed by Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling, who followed suit.

    "My minister pays homage to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

    Emperor Jing Yuan stepped forward, helped Shen Ting up, and patted him on the shoulder, with the kindness unique to an old father seeing his son on his face: "It's hard for you to be stationed in the frontier for half a year."

    "It is the duty of a son or minister to guard the soil under one's feet." Shen Ting lowered her eyes, her face neither humble nor overbearing.

    "Talk about the monarch and his ministers outside, and call him father and son inside. Father has arranged a celebration banquet for you, and rewarded all the officers and men." Emperor Jing Yuan patted Shen Xuan's hand, and was about to walk in, when he suddenly stopped, turned around and asked, "Duan Zhengqing  , where is the Dali proton?"

    "They are all in the carriage." Shen Ting bowed.

    "Send the protons to the station, and send a team of imperial guards to guard them. As for Duan Zhengqing！" Emperor Jing Yuan thought of Dali's harassment of southern Xinjiang and the displacement of the people in southern Xinjiang over the years, his eyes became colder, "Come here, beat him into heaven."  Prison, strictly guarded! Without my permission, severe punishment shall not be used."

    After finishing speaking, he went to the imperial study together with Shen Ting.

    Immediately after Emperor Jing Yuan left, several soldiers escorted Duan Zhengqing to the prison in front of the carriage.

    Not long after, a team of imperial guards rushed to escort the carriage to Chang'an Post Station.

    This proton is the most beloved prince of the Dali Emperor. He was established as the prince since he was born. Because he was young and ignorant, he was asked by the Celestial Dynasty to be taken as a proton to Chang'an and detained.

    Shen Cong glanced at the direction the carriage was leaving, then turned his head and walked towards the Captain's Mansion.

    Gu Jiuling followed slowly.

    "Recently pay more attention to the post station, the emperor of Dali is very ambitious, and he will definitely not bow down easily." Shen Cong lowered his voice and said to Gu Jiuling.

    Gu Jiuling nodded.  </div&gt

 Main Text Chapter 21 Song Cheng Injured, A Strange Demon

    In the lobby of the Duwei Mansion, a group of Anbu Jinyiwei gathered, looking solemnly at the center.

    When Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling came in, they clearly noticed the tense atmosphere.

    Just when Qin Zheng looked over, he caught a glimpse of the two, hurried over quietly, and made a silent gesture to them.

    "Brother Bozhong, why is it so solemn?" Shen Cong nodded, and asked secretly through voice transmission.

    Bozhong is Qin Zheng's small character, Shen Cong named it for him after he joined Anbu.

    "That day the boss went to capture the big demon of the Qiantang River, and the big monster seriously injured the boss！under the watchful eyes of all of us, the monster escaped. Now the boss has just rushed back to the Captain's Mansion, and is taking advantage of the Gu family's ancestor's Xiuchun  The sword is used to get rid of evil spirits. Yun Zhe, don¨t make a sound. There¨s also that little lord.￣

    Qin Zheng pointed to Song Cheng who was surrounded by Jin Yiwei, looked at Shen Cong, then at Gu Jiuling, and also sent a voice transmission to him.

    Hearing this, Shen Cong frowned.

    That monster can only survive five hundred years of practice.

    Song Cheng has already cultivated in the Nascent Soul Realm, so he should be able to fight with that fighter with ease.

    How could he end up in such a mess.

    "Let's all step back, I'm fine, I just need to recuperate quietly." At this moment, a hoarse and deep voice suddenly came from the front.

    It was Song Cheng who spoke.

    All Jin Yiwei retreated, only Shen Cong stayed behind.

    Song Cheng raised his eyes, and Shen Cong saw his pale face.

    "That monster is not a five-hundred-year-old monster." Shen Cong looked at Song Cheng's face, and slowly opened his lips.

    Song Cheng glanced at Shen Cong, and after nodding, there was a trace of solemnity between his brows: "That day, I did accept the monster that caused the flood, and also killed the cat ghost."

    It's just that when I went to the Yellow Mansion to investigate the cat ghost, I found another monster.

    Moreover, the monster came after Jin Yiwei's aura.

    "That monster never sneaked up on the people. When we met face to face, it set up an enchantment and planned to kill it silently. If it wasn't just a clone, I tried my best. I'm afraid the two of you will see each other today.  I won't be here anymore." Song Cheng couldn't help feeling emotional when he said this.

    That monster is already ranked first, but it is very murderous, and it is not a good monster at a glance.

    "When I'm free, I'll go and check Beizhen Fusi's Monster Records to see if there is a copy of that monster." Song Cheng took a sip of hot tea and slowly opened his lips.

    There is a heavenly book in Duwei¨s mansion that records the demons and ghosts in the world. Because it appeared in the era of Beizhen Fusi, it is also called Beizhen Fusi Demon Record！because the heavenly book was given by the immortals of the upper world, it is also called Beizhen Fusi¨s Demon Records.  Together with the knife, it is regarded as the treasure of the town.

    When Gu Jiuling heard the method of killing monsters, his eyes trembled and the corners of his lips twitched.

    Suddenly felt the sleeve gown move, it turned out that Shen Cong pulled him secretly.

    "I'll use spells to retrace later, don't ask him, tell him to rest." Shen Cong's face remained unchanged, and his voice was transmitted into the secret lightly.

    Gu Jiuling hesitated, lowered his eyelashes slowly, and swallowed the unspoken words back into his stomach.

    After coming out of the Captain's Mansion, Qin Zheng patted Shen Cong on the shoulder and handed him a kit.

    "Yun Zhe, this is what was left behind by the big monster's avatar when he fled. Anyway, it's useless for me to keep it, so I'll give it to you."

    After receiving the kit, Shen Cong smiled loudly when he heard the words: "The one who knows me is none other than Brother Bozhong."

    "I have been with you for several years, and I still don't know your little thoughts?" Qin Zheng raised his brows as he spoke, his eyes flicked back and forth between Gu Jiuling and Shen Cong, and suddenly there was a little more on his face.  Weird smile.

    The corners of Shen Cong's eyes twitched.

    This bastard, he thinks about some silly things all day long.

    "Yun Zhe, why don't you treat me to a pot of good wine?" Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows again, the teasing in his eyes was clearly visible.

    "Go sell wine by yourself, I have something important to do." He took out an ingot of silver from his cuff and threw it over. Shen Cong turned his head and pulled Gu Jiuling, stepped out directly, took the golden halo inside, and went straight to the Qin Palace.

    When Shen Cong left, several people were amazed.

    Qin Zheng pouted.

    Forget it, it's not sour anymore, buy a pot of good wine and go to see the oiran.

    Thinking of this, Qin Zheng went home leisurely and changed into casual clothes, throwing away his money to find a restaurant.

    Inside Qin Wang's mansion.

    He Qi heard that Shen Cong had returned early in the morning, so he stood guard in front of Shen Cong's courtyard.

    Seeing the two, He Qi bowed his head and bowed, and then handed over a roll of parchment: "Your Highness, please open the secret letter sent by Mr. Chen."

    The Mr. Chen in He Qi's mouth is naturally Chen Xin.

      Is the action so fast?

    Shen Cong raised his eyebrows and took the parchment, ignoring Gu Jiuling, opened it for a closer look, and his complexion suddenly sank.

    On this roll of parchment, what was written was the confession of a child in the human skin trading case several years ago.  That boy has been running this industry for decades, and accidentally exposed his feet and was wanted by the local government. When he encountered a secret door, he wrote it down.

    Those who were skinned were all young and beautiful girls.  After peeling off the human skin, the viscera will also be sold together.  After the human skin falls off and the viscera are hollowed out, the human soul will be restrained by talismans and become fierce ghosts, forced to guard the place.

    Counting now, there are already countless human skins sold.

    In other words, the number of girls who have been murdered can no longer be counted by ordinary statistics.

    Shen Cong slowly clenched his palms, and the sheepskin in his palms instantly turned into powder and fell to the ground from the cracks in his palms.

    "He Qi, continue to investigate." He lowered his eyes, glanced at the powder on the ground, and there was a cold light in his eyes.

    Since he exists in this war-torn era, he will do his best to reduce crime and killing.

    Even in this age, what he prevented was insignificant.

    "Your subordinate obeys orders." He Qi bowed and turned away.

    "After the human skin trading case, there are evil spirits." At that time, Gu Jiuling, who had been silent all the time, slowly opened his lips.

    Shen Cong nodded.

    He closed his eyes, his heart rarely becoming irritable.

    The Miemen case has not yet been settled, yet another case of human skin trading has occurred, and the involvement is deep and the scope is very wide.

    Forget it, let's investigate the case carefully.

    "Don't you want to know about that monster? Come with me." Sighing, Shen Cong opened his eyes, and the bright eyes reflected Gu Jiuling's black bullfighting robe.

    And, Gu Jiuling's exceptionally clear eyes.

    Such clean eyes, even if they fall into the dust and mud once, they will not be stained with mud.

    Shen Cong sighed secretly, turned and walked into the courtyard.

    Gu Jiuling stepped forward and entered together with him.

    The name of Shen Cong's courtyard is Yunzhaiju. As soon as he entered it, Gu Jiuling could feel the rich and abundant spiritual energy inside.

    He looked around calmly, his eyes moving slightly.

    ? Although he was born in the battlefield, Gu Yuanjia taught Gu Jiuling the Qimen Dunjia of Taoism since he was a child.  Although he is not very proficient, he can still see it after all.

    The formation method changes Fengshui, attracting spiritual energy to nourish the place.

    Fengshui pattern There are quite a lot of Shen Yunzhe.

    "Here I set up a formation to attract spirits, which is convenient for cultivation, so don't think too much." Looking back at the deep meaning in Gu Jiuling's eyes, Shen Cong laughed.

 Main Text Chapter 22 Looking back in the past, suspecting the real culprit

    Gu Jiuling nodded and retreated to a corner.

    "Remember, I will only read it once."

    After Shen Cong finished speaking, he stood in the center of the courtyard, drew out the folding fan at his waist, opened the bag of kits given by Qin Zheng, slowly closed his eyes, and began to chant the formula.

    The voice is clear and catchy.

    As soon as the words came out, the kit floated in the void with a golden light flying from the ground, and released a ray of blood-colored spiritual power towards Shen Cong's Tianling Gai.

    I saw the aura floating in all directions rushing towards Shen Cong.

    The aura turned into a cloud visible to the naked eye, swirling and sinking under his black robe.  The cloud and mist turned into a golden formation again, and the golden formation floated into a water curtain again.

    The water curtain came out, and the backtracking formation was completed.

    Breathing out a foul breath, Shen Cong slowly opened his eyes.

    "Gu Jia Anxian, do you remember?" Shen Cong glanced sideways at the black figure in the corner.

    Gu Jiuling nodded again.

    "Let's go." Shen Cong didn't ask any more questions, let go of his consciousness, turned into a human form and walked towards the water curtain.

    Arriving at the center of the formation in one step, Gu Jiuling let go of his consciousness, and followed Shen Cong into the water curtain.

    Back in time.

    The Huangfu, which has been washed by the floods, is full of dust.  There are even one or two big carp jumping in the corner over there.

    Shen Cong and the two followed Song Cheng around, until at a certain moment, Song Cheng suddenly froze.

    "Jin Yiwei listens to the order, exit the Huang Mansion immediately, and hide your breath!" He stared at the void in front of him, flipped his wrist under his sleeve robe, pinched his fingers, and suddenly his face changed drastically, and he quickly twiddled the formula to transmit sound into the secret.

    Although the guards in Jinyi were puzzled, they still did as they said, concealing their cultivation aura as they said, and left the Huangfu with lightness kung fu.

    Song Cheng drank in a deep voice, let go of his own cultivation, and the pressure of his soul was mixed with wind and dust, and immediately flew in all directions.

    "Where is the evildoer, don't show up quickly!" He stared at the front, flipping his palms, forming seals secretly.

    It was also at this time that Shen Cong saw a wave of void in front of him.

    When the enchantment falls, nothing can enter.

    A figure appeared from the void, covered by black and purple evil energy, but people could see clearly that there was a beautiful woman inside.

    The figure is riding the wind and flying in the air, standing on the eaves of the Huangfu, like a ghost.

    "It's a big demon with armor." The system issued a prompt, and Shen Cong slowly opened his lips.

    Gu Jiuling stared at the monster closely, under the sleeves, his fists were already clenched with veins.

    "Tracking this far from the Shandong area, you evildoer, what is your intention?" Song Cheng stared at the monster coldly, and the trick under the sleeve robe was completed.

    Mo Zi's evil spirit dissipated, revealing a black robe.  Under the black robe was a tall and slender woman.  The woman's face is covered with a black veil, her eyebrows are deep and enchanting, she looks like a peerless dancer from the Western Regions.

    "Spiritual cultivators, kill without mercy." The witch slowly opened her lips, her ethereal and icy voice fell, and her eyes flashed red.

    In an instant, the Huangfu earthquake shook and the building collapsed.

    Dust scattered in all directions, Song Cheng brushed his face with his sleeve, and the sleeve robe flew up.

    Before the dust fell, he suddenly pulled out the embroidered spring knife from his waist, and using lightness kung fu, he threw himself at the demon girl.

    The witch was floating in the void, Song Cheng's approaching figure was reflected in her scarlet eyes！！the danger was ahead, but she stood still.

    One slash fell, but it was Sui Ying, the witch.

    The demonic aura suddenly came from behind him, Song Cheng realized that he had been tricked, his complexion changed slightly, and he quickly turned his head and slashed again.

    Another cut was made.

    Dust falls, ruins appear.

    Above the ruins, a ten-foot purple-black magic circle appeared.  In the center of the magic circle, stood a monster surrounded by white light whose appearance could not be seen clearly.  There are photochemical silk threads at the joints of the monster, and at the end of the thread, they are all held in the palm of the demon girl who appeared in the other side of the void.

    Song Cheng stood on top of the formation, looking at the monster below who slowly opened a pair of pupilless eyes, his complexion changed again.

    "An ancient art from the pre-Qin periodan ancient mirror puppet?" Song Cheng's clothes were flying, and he stared at the witch, with a hint of chill in his always easy-going eyes, "Where the hell are you?"

    Sensing the key words, Shen Cong frowned.

    Song Cheng knew the origin of the demon girl, but he still said that he was going to check the records of demons in Fusi, Beizhen！whether he didn't want the two of them to check the origin of the big demon, or there were other plans.

    "kill！！"

    The witch and the puppet opened their lips at the same time, and the ethereal voices overlapped, making it extremely cold.

    After the voice fell, the witch moved her ten fingers expressionlessly, and made a seal with both hands.

    The silk thread was pulled by ten fingers, the puppet stretched out its hand, and grabbed a cloud of black evil energy into the void, and the evil energy touched one of the fingertips.?, instantly turned into a long sickle.

    The puppet raised its eyes, only the white pupils looked in Song Cheng's direction, and immediately stepped forward.

    With just one breath, the puppet was manipulated by the witch to come down behind Song Cheng, and raised a long scythe to stab him in the back.

    Song Cheng raised the long knife with his hands behind his back, and the back of the knife collided with the tip of the long sickle in an instant, sparks were sparked.

    The puppet moved again, and still came to Song Cheng with only one breath. An evil spirit flew forward, swallowed him inside, and then raised the long scythe and stabbed it down violently.

    Its speed is as fast as a thunderbolt in a dark cloud. Although it passes away in a flash, it is very powerful.

    Song Cheng was not a newborn spiritual cultivator after all, his spiritual sense sensed the murderous aura on his face, and he flew out of the evil aura, flipping the Xiuchun knife in his hand, and the dragon face of the blade hit the long scythe again.

    Only this time, a golden light burst out from the longan's eye, and the golden light turned into a long dragon, flew out from the blade, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed the whole puppet, including the long sickle, into its stomach.

    The silk thread broke and fell from the void, like a star falling.

    The long dragon flew into the air, groaned loudly, and suddenly turned into clouds and dispersed.

    When the demon girl was in a daze, Song Cheng took the Xiuchun knife and stepped forward in one step, slashing at the demon girl's chest.

    The demon girl came back to her senses, murderous aura flashed in her eyes.

    "Rats and ants." The witch sneered, and the silk thread in her hand flew from the void, and the white gauze seemed to fly against the wind. The moment Song Cheng came to him, he was trapped in it again.

    This time, Song Cheng exerted all his strength, but he couldn't break free.

    The witch stretched out her hand towards the void, and a long black scythe was suddenly born, and slowly fell into the palm of the witch.  An iron chain hangs from the handle of the long sickle. The iron chain is stained with blood and rust, and it is more terrifying and cold than the aura just now.

    If it is seen by ordinary people, they will not dare to take a second look because of fear.

    Below, when Gu Jiuling saw the demon woman holding a sickle and stabbing Song Cheng's neck, her eyes were slightly red, and she suddenly felt murderous.

    On that day, none of the corpses in the Hou Mansion were headless.

    include´´

    His father.

    At that time, the Xiuchun knife in Song Cheng's hand sensed that his master was in danger, he broke free from his palm with a bang, cut the silk thread with one knife, and sank straight into the demon woman's belly.

    Inside the barrier, a sharp and painful roar resounded in all directions.

    The formation shrinks from the outer end inch by inch to the center, turning into a little ink and purple black air and dissipating.

    The witch put away her long scythe, drew out her long knife angrily, and slapped Song Cheng on the ground with her palm, which immediately turned into a cloud and dispersed.

    Song Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood, looked sideways at the Xiuchun knife that was stained with black air, and suddenly sighed.

    Seeing this, Shen Cong immediately knew why Song Cheng was seriously injured.

    Xiuchun Knife has been opened, and it is blessed by the immortal gate. The knife itself is a magic weapon to restrain demons and ghosts-if the magic power of the knife body is low, and it is backlashed by evil spirits, so is its owner.

    He is an adult, he is reluctant to forge the Xiuchun Knife, and now it is time to use it, this knife has become a drag bottle.

    It's really stingy.  </div&gt

 Main Text Chapter 23: Going to the bar to catch demons, Shen Cong is promoted (1)

    After retreating from the water curtain, the two souls return to their own bodies.

    Seeing Gu Jiuling's expressionless face, Shen Cong once again sighed in his heart about the destruction of the Gu family.

    ?In order to protect the Central Plains dynasty, the Gu family has lost countless talents for thousands of years.

    But for the sake of this piece of land under his feet, he will never turn back.

    The Gu family was full of talented people, all of whom were loyal to the country and died of fatigue.

    "The Gu family is Anxian, and the Gu family has a long-standing reputation. Once the current lineage is wiped out, the royal family of the Celestial Dynasty will definitely pay attention to it. That monster has an extraordinary history, and it is also a big monster with armor. Even if Lord Song meets the monster clone, he will still be scratching his head."

    Patting Gu Jiuling on the shoulder, Shen Congyu looked at him earnestly, "What you need to do now is to recharge your batteries, don't go looking for that big monster on your own, if you lose your life, you will be sorry  Father puts all his strength into escorting you away."

    Hearing this, Gu Jiuling stared blankly.

    That day, he woke up in the yamen.

    Hearing that there was a bloody case, he felt bad, so he went out with the police.

    In the violent wind and rain, he witnessed the death of the whole family.

    Remembering the pain and anger of that day, Gu Jiuling's eyes gradually turned red.

    Witnessing his relatives being killed by monsters, he has no clue.

    The powerlessness and frustration gradually spreading from his heart now made him feel for the first time in his life that he was too cowardly and incompetent.

    ?If you can't even guard your relatives, how can you keep your feet on the ground, how can you talk about setting the world.

    "Cultivate step by step, don't act rashly. Gu Jia Anxian, you are very talented, and you will surely avenge this blood in your lifetime. Let's rest well today, don't practice. Adjust your state, and meditate tomorrow, lest you go crazy.  Seeing that his Dao heart seemed to be unstable, Shen Cong's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly opened his lips to comfort him, and secretly urged the Qingxin spell.

    Seeing that Gu Jiuling's face calmed down, he turned his head back to the Wuwang Pavilion, Shen Cong summoned a dozen shadow guards to guard the place, and only nodded and relaxed after they came to report that Gu Jiuling was fine.

    Shen Cong turned back to Yunzhai residence, stepped out of the Nianjue step by step, entered in the golden halo, and went straight to the Duwei's mansion.

    In a courtyard inside, a man sat cross-legged in the center of the courtyard, meditating to absorb spiritual energy.

    In front of him, there was a dragon pattern embroidered spring knife floating left and right.

    Sensing someone intruding, Song Cheng, that is, the man, remained motionless, but slowly opened his lips and said: "I have nothing to do all day long, do you still regard yourself as a playboy?"

    "Why didn't you tell us about the person in the mirror?" Shen Cong looked at the Xiuchun knife floating in the air, and a ray of depth flashed away in his eyes.

    He didn't look at it carefully when looking back, but now that he took a closer look, he always felt that the Xiuchun knife was a bit

    Weird.

    It was as if a stranger was standing in front of him.

    Could it be that this Xiuchun Knife already has a magic weapon?

    At that time, Song Cheng slowly opened his eyes, got up and held the Xiuchun knife, took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve robe, and carefully wiped the surface of the knife.

    Shen Cong clearly saw that the expression in his eyes was extremely gentle.

    "It is recorded in Beizhen Fusi's Demon Records that the person in the mirror is a thousand-year-old monster that has existed since the pre-Qin period. As for the origin, I don't know." Song Cheng slowly shook his head, "She is too dangerous, it's not because of you  The qualifications are close. Even if it is me, I still have some reluctance to face her clone."

    Shen Congmo.

    Inserting the Xiuchun Knife into the scabbard, Song Cheng glanced at the man who suddenly broke into his courtyard: "Shen Cong, if you have nothing to do, go and look at the list. Recently, monsters have frequently appeared in Chang'an City. Don't you think you have little merit?"  What? Catch another monster, and this official will count it for you along with the achievement of delivering food this time, and I will ask you to be promoted to an official."

    Hearing this, Shen Cong raised his eyebrows: "Is this true?"

    In Jinyiwei, the higher the official rank, the more monsters you can come into contact with, and the higher the rank of monsters you can kill.

    This is beneficial to his way of cultivating immortals, why doesn't he want to get to a high position soon.

    It's a pity that it took him several years to climb up to the position of headhunter.

    "Seriously." Song Cheng waved his hands impatiently, "Go, I will take a rest today."

    "My lord, my subordinates are talking too much. Your lord wears a sword, which looks a little old. I heard that your lord is making money every day, why don't you reforge a precious sword?" Shen Cong nodded, and was about to leave, when he suddenly asked.

    Song Cheng was taken aback.

    He looked down at the scabbard at his waist, lowered his eyes and said casually: "This is a gift from an old friend of a poor and humble acquaintance."

    It was originally a deceased friend.

    Shen Cong knew that he could ask more questions about these secrets, so he bowed and left.

      Sensing that Shen Cong's breath was going away, Song Cheng stroked the scabbard, turned his head and walked into the inner room.

    Locking the door latch and setting up a barrier, he twisted the dark cabinet on the first floor of the bookcase and made a seal with both hands. The white wall in front of him trembled suddenly, and a formation appeared.

    Song Cheng stepped into it one step at a time, and when he stopped again, he was already in another world.

    After the formation, there is a courtyard.

    In the center of the courtyard, a crooked pear tree stood alone quietly.

    The breeze blows slowly, and the pear blossoms in the house are white.

    Song Cheng let out a deep breath, and suddenly stepped forward.  When he approached the pear tree swaying in the wind and smelled the fragrance of flowers, he seemed to be timid again and stopped abruptly.

    "That day, I saw her again." Song Cheng looked at Li Shu and slowly lowered his head.

    He is still the same as before, even if he only faces her clone, he is powerless.

    "You！" Would you blame him for being clumsy and incompetent?

    Song Cheng stretched out his hand to caress a hanging branch, sighing deeply.

    Passing by the sealed Huamanlou, Shen Cong stopped slowly.

    Thinking of what he saw on the parchment scroll, a sullen anger rose in his heart.

    Forget it, since Chen Xin and He Qi are investigating, he doesn't have to intervene.

    With this in mind, Shen Cong restrained his murderous intent, and walked towards another corner around the corner.

    The Goulan courtyard in this area has been around for several years, and there are still many beggars squatting in the depths of the alley.  Among them, there was a little beggar who was only in his prime, and when he saw Shen Cong coming in, his eyes suddenly widened.

    "Brotherbehindthe white clothes！" He stretched out his hand, pointing tremblingly behind Shen Cong.

    Shen Cong had already sensed the cold air behind him, so he didn't panic, stopped and turned his head calmly, looking at the male ghost in white who was following him.

    "I'm not your relative, hurry up and go to reincarnation. The end of your first seven is approaching." In order to avoid causing panic, Shen Cong spoke to him via voice transmission.

    The male ghost was wet all over, exuding a salty smell.

    He bowed his head to Shen Cong, his eyes turning red: "My lord, I don't mean to offend you, I just want to see my wife and children, the infant baby, and my sixty-year-old mother."

    Shen Cong made some calculations with his fingers, and remained silent for a while.

    This white-clothed male ghost was doing business abroad. When he was out at sea, he encountered a shipwreck. The fleet hit a rock, sank to the bottom of the sea, and died in it.

    Because of the reluctance in his heart, the male ghost returned to Chang'an from the customs all the way, just to see his wife and children at home.

 Main Text Chapter 24: Catch Demons in Goulan, Shen Cong Promoted to Officials (2)

    The ghost that every stranger is afraid of, maybe, is also the heart of others.

    "If I'm right, your home is nearby. Go ahead, don't miss the hour of reincarnation. When the hour comes, you should go back to the underworld." Shen Cong turned sideways to make way for him  .

    The male ghost was very grateful. After bowing and leaving, Shen Cong walked up to the little beggar, looked at his clear eyes, and smiled slightly: "Little thing, your eyes can see yin and yang, which is an innate talent."

    The little beggar lowered his eyes and curled himself up.

    "My lord doesn't know, but it's Caomin's unique pair of eyes that caused Caomin's family to be regarded as ominous and evil spirits by the villagers, and they were burned to the heavens." Thinking of those past events, the little beggar felt bitter in his heart, and his eyes popped out.  A cloud.

    Shen Cong stretched out his hand and rubbed the little beggar's head.

    Congenital yin and yang eyes are not much better than Taoist acquired yin and yang eyes.

    They are afraid, but they are only afraid of the evil spirits that can be seen with yin and yang eyes.

    It is also out of this fear that people who are born with yin and yang eyes are regarded as evil spirits.

    "Little thing, would you like to join me in Jinyiwei, punish evil and promote good, and kill demons? In the future, you don't have to sleep in the open, you don't have to be squeezed out, and you don't have to live in fear." Shen Cong smiled slightly.

    The little beggar suddenly raised his eyes, and stared in astonishment at the young man wearing a black hat in front of him.

    Even though this area was surrounded by darkness, and there was a different kind of sour smell everywhere, he could still see all the smiles of the young master and brother.

    The big brother Danfeng's eyes are curved, and his smile is really pretty.

    "ReallyReally?" The little beggar hesitated.

    He has been begging for four or five years, and has seen the faces of high-ranking dignitaries when they faced lower-class people, and the faces of upper-class people when they were children-he was afraid that if he followed this young man, he would never see the sunshine of tomorrow again.

    "I am a member of Jin Yiwei, and those who are not of good character are not allowed to be included." Shen Cong took out Jin Yiwei's waist badge, handed it to him, and hung it up again.

    Indeed.

    Except for their heads, that Lord Song.

    In the distance, the Duwei Mansion, in a certain courtyard.

    Song Cheng, who was meditating, suddenly sneezed, his whole body trembled, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

    He pinched his fingers and calculated, and his complexion turned dark immediately.

    This Shen Cong.

    The little beggar lowered his head and secretly stroked his hungry belly.

    The flying fish robe made by Jinyiwei was a symbol of ferocity and killing in Ming Dynasty.

    In the Celestial Dynasty, Jin Yiwei is the right-hand man of the royal family, and a force that corrupt officials fear the most！Jin Yiwei has the privilege granted by Emperor Jing Yuan, who can kill the royal family at the top, and the courtiers at the bottom.  Once those corrupt officials are found out by Jin Yiwei of the Ministry of Ming Dynasty, Jin Yiwei will kill them first and then act.

    Anyone who pretends to be a royal guard will be punished severely.

    If he worships it, he will also be worshiped and respected by the people.

    In the future, he will no longer have to eat and sleep in the open.

    He can also have a girl he likes, and he can also go out grandly like those rich men, instead of being a street mouse, everyone shouts and beats him.

    "Caomin" The little beggar slowly raised his eyes, fixedly looking at Shen Cong, "Caomin is willing to worship Jinyiwei."

    Shen Cong nodded, and stroked his head again.

    He got up, took out an exquisitely shaped bone whistle from his waist, held it to his lips and blew it, and after a while there was a rustling sound from the eaves.

    "Your Highness." The two black-clothed shadow guards fell to the ground suddenly, bowed their heads and clasped their fists to Shen Cong.

    "Take him to change his outfit, and take him to the Captain's Mansion to inform Master Song." Shen Cong looked at the beggars who were secretly watching, "give them some silver, and find a job for them. If no one wants it, check their family background."  Send it to the mansion to be a servant."

    The two shadow guards bowed again and turned away with the little beggar.

    Shen Cong turned around slowly, and under the surprised eyes of all the beggars, he walked through the wall calmly.

    It's just that a golden halo suddenly appeared, and then disappeared.

    "If I remember correctly, there seems to be nothing behind the wall." A beggar murmured.

    "I remember. When I came to Beijing to beg along the road, in order to find a place to live, I went in along the dog hole once. There was a courtyard, and oh, tsk tsk！" another beggar recalled what he had seen back then.  Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but get goosebumps all over my body.

    "Hey, did you ever feel that the nobleman just now looked familiar?" Another beggar pointed to the white wall with peeling paint.

    "Listen to youThat said, it looks familiar.  "

    "It looks like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

    "No."

    "Well, it's not His Royal Highness. Not long ago, when His Highness returned to court, I saw him from a distance. He looked gentle and handsome, just like a living immortal."

    "That young master is so similar to the crown prince, and he belongs to Jin Yiwei, so it's possible！"

    The beggars suddenly thought of another prince.

    That is the same mother brother of Prince Shen Xuan, His Royal Highness Qin Cong.

    "Although His Royal Highness Qin Wang is not favored, he is also a person who dethrones evil and respects righteousness like the prince."

    "Hmm. The King of Qin doesn't like imperial power, and he has always kept aloof from the world. He only devotes himself to cultivating truth and asking questions. This is also a kind of elegance."

    "I said you old men have all been dismissed from office, and you still have to speak politely." Beside him, a silent old beggar suddenly sneered.

    The few beggars who had spoken before heard the words, all lowered their eyes in silence, smiled bitterly, and then said nothing more.

    They are all ten-year-old ministers who were dismissed from their positions by eunuchs in the late Ming Dynasty.  After he was dismissed from office, he was also given a pretext to ransack the family, and the property in the clan was handed over to the imperial court. Men, women, and children were all reduced to slavery, distributed to the frontiers, and could never be an official.

    The children and grandchildren in the family have always been picky about their clothes and food, but they all left one after another because they could not bear the suffering.

    Now there are only them, the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. The master despises them for being unable to work, and thinks that they are dead bodies, so they simply drive them out of the mansion.

    Their hometown was originally Chang'an, but now that they have no relatives, they miss Chang'an city even more.

    So they went together one after another, and after years of begging along the road, they finally returned to Chang'an City.

    Chang'an, once full of extravagance, is as prosperous as in memory.  There was no smell of sensuality, replaced by the thriving and vigorous atmosphere of the Celestial Dynasty.

    They are emotional.

    If the celestial dynasty is prosperous, the stability of the world will not come soon.

    It's just that they knew in their hearts that they would never see the peace and prosperity that the Shen royal family brought to the world.

    They are getting older, and many of them are past their seventies and suffering from diseases.

    It is their last hope in this life to be able to see all nations and books, and to pay tribute to the court.

    Here, when Shen Cong came to the courtyard surrounded by high walls, he could not help but frown when he smelled a stench of blood.

    There were no lights in the courtyard, and it was actually a little bit darker than the alleys and alleys.

    Shen Cong took off the jade-faced keel fan from his waist, and wiped his eyes with his hand.

    A ray of golden light flashed away in his eyes.

    When he lowered his wrist, everything he saw became extremely clear.

    When he saw clearly the inside of the courtyard, Shen Cong, who was always calm, was slightly taken aback.  </div&gt

 Main Text Chapter 25: Going to the bar to catch demons, Shen Cong is promoted (3)

    As far as the courtyard is concerned, there are white bones.

    The blood everywhere is extremely viscous and intersected with old ones.  When Shen Cong landed on the ground, he was almost unable to move.

    Unknown fur and minced meat were mixed among the bones, and piled up all over the courtyard.

    This place is more stinky and disgusting than mass graves.

    Not far away, on a withered branch, a sparrow soared into the air, flew into the void, touched a layer of blood-colored long light, turned to ashes in an instant, turned into dust and fell back under the branch.

    Shen Cong narrowed his eyes slightly.

    There is an enchantment here.

    No wonder no one noticed it until a beggar reported it.

    "The decal on the mirror is yellow, singing in the night, the bones are fragrant, what a nephrite little girl！" Suddenly, a lazy voice came from not far away.

    Shen Cong looked sideways, and saw a white-haired fox sitting on the wooden platform outside the house, leaning on the long pillar of the gazebo, pouring and singing leisurely.  Sensing Shen Cong's gaze, the white-haired fox slowly looked sideways, and opened a pair of lazy green fox eyes.

    Have never given a killing ring?

    Shen Cong frowned.

    "A stranger?" The white-haired fox raised his eyebrows slightly, as if a little surprised.

    "Where is the owner of the courtyard here?" Seeing that it had no other intentions, Shen Cong clasped his fists and asked.

    At this time, the system had given him the information of this vixen.

    ? Three-tailed white-haired vixen, first-grade B phase, five hundred and fifty-seven years of practice.

    After he secretly deduced, this vixen had transformed into a human form a few years ago.  He has never killed anyone, but he has never formed a good relationship, so he can be described as a person who is both righteous and evil.

    Just because when the female fox gave birth to him, the smell of blood attracted the attention of the hunters and dogs in the mountains, and they shot him dead.

    The white-haired vixen is favored by the spirits of the mountains. He has absorbed the aura of heaven and earth since he was a child, and enlightened his spiritual wisdom early on. After learning that his biological mother was killed by humans, he has hated humans since then and is unwilling to kill. He has been hiding in the mountains and devoted himself to cultivation.

    As for why he came to Chang'an, Shen Cong didn't quite know.

    "If I knew where he was, I wouldn't have to wait here for three nights." The white-haired vixen laughed, and a burst of light spread from his body, slowly turning into a young man with his breasts exposed and his hair disheveled.

    Shen Cong frowned.

    Not here?

    "Look at your outfit, but that Jinyiwei who eats the imperial food?" The white-haired vixen raised his eyebrows.

    Shen Cong nodded.

    "It's a coincidence. When I first came to Chang'an in the past, I met a boy who was almost persecuted by the monster disguised as Jin Yiwei. I couldn't bear the monster to kill, so I made an exception to save the boy."

    Recalling the scene back then, the white-haired fox couldn't help sighing, "If the little doll hadn't been eaten by a demon, it would have been as big as you."

    After hearing his words, Shen Cong was silent for a moment, and slowly opened his lips: "That child is me thirteen years ago."

    In the past, when he went out to look for opportunities, he met a Jin Yiwei disguised as a monster. Because he was young and had no strength to resist, he was almost persecuted to death.  If he hadn't met that white-haired vixen, he must have been in another plane and started cultivating immortality.

    Also after that, He Qi became his shadow guard.

    The white-faced vixen was stunned, and smiled: "Little baby, you and I are destined."

    "Well, thank you for saving your life back then." Shen Cong bowed.

    "It's okay, let me save a good relationship for myself." The white-faced vixen waved his hands, as if he didn't care, "I don't know the name of the little baby, but I look at you with a bit of dignity."

    "I'm sinking Cong."

    "Shenwas from the royal family of the Celestial Dynasty." The white-faced vixen nodded, and stood up suddenly, "I came here this time to take in this small-faced monster so that I could return some raw meat to sacrifice to my late mother. Since you are here, I  Let¨s go first, and then look for a demon species that will cause trouble to the world.￣

    After finishing speaking, he got up and turned into a pool of green smoke, and dispersed leisurely.

    Shen Cong glanced at the blue smoke, and the Nian Jue was hidden in the corner.

    Humans are divided into good and evil, and so are demons.

    Just before midnight, a crow crowed from the sky, suddenly piercing the silence of the long night.

    A pitch-black figure was flying over the eaves of the streets in Chang'an City, and when it passed through the barrier here, there was no damage to its body.  The figure landed slowly, turning its head sideways.

    Just hearing a grunt, a bitten off human head rolled out from there and stopped slowly in a corner of the courtyard.

    Shen Cong, who was meditating with his eyes closed, heard the movement, opened his eyes slowly, and caught a glimpse of the dead head in front of his heels, his eyes flickered coldly.

    He looked up, and was facing a pair of scarlet eyes that were sinister and fierce.

      A dog demon with a fourth rank of Ding Xiang, who has been practicing for forty-seven years.

    After ten years of practice, I don't know how to eat people.

    When the system gave the monster information in his mind, Shen Cong no longer hesitated, took out the jade-faced keel fan at his waist, stepped out with a single step, took the golden halo inside, and came straight to the side of the dog monster, with a fan that shone with golden light  Slap down with one palm.

    The dog demon finally became a spirit.

    As early as the moment Shen Cong exposed his breath, he sensed the danger.  When the former hit him, he dodged his head sideways instinctively, then turned around and bit back.

    As everyone knows, what Shen Cong waited for was its back bite.

    The fan stretched straight forward and sank into the dog monster's mouth in a split second.

    The exploding golden light was like a blade, moving back and forth between the dog monster's mouth and tongue, the pain made it unconsciously let go and howled.

    Shen Cong withdrew his fan expressionlessly, and slapped it away again.

    Hearing a loud bang, the inner alchemy of the dog demon shattered, and his body was sunk into the ground full of sticky blood by Shen Cong's blow.

    As he was dying, the dog demon struggled to open his eyes wide, trying to see clearly who the person who killed him with these three moves was.

    However, its pupils have already begun to reflect the silhouette of the long night, and everything has turned into snowflakes, and everything has entered it.

    Vaguely, it only saw the saponin boots in front of it.

    Shen Cong squatted down, closed the jade fan, stretched out his hand towards the corpse of the dog demon, and stretched out the other towards the void.

    The formation suddenly appeared.

    A ray of breath floated out from the dog demon's nose, climbed along Shen Cong's hand all the way to the other side, passed through the formation, and turned into a yellow-faced dog wagging its tail.

    "Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing Ding Xiang's fourth-rank dog monster and getting a random first-rank pill!"

    Listening to the mechanical sound that suddenly sounded in his mind, Shen Cong calmly mentioned the corpse of the demon dog, put it in the Qiankun bag that was exchanged for not long ago, and stood up to look at the square courtyard.

    In troubled times, the world is uneasy, and demons are in power.

    The most innocent people are always the common people.

    Sighing, Shen Cong formed a mudra with both hands, closed his eyes and twisted the formula.

    He recited the mantra silently, and pieces of golden light flew out from under his feet.

    The golden light landed, bringing out countless ghosts.

    These are all people and demons who died tragically at the mouth of the dog demon.

    Inserting three burning incense sticks into the ground, Shen Cong looked at the ghosts, and slowly opened his lips: "I have used the incense to guide you, hurry up and enter the underworld for reincarnation."

    He just recited the mantra of the past life to dissolve the resentment of these ghosts, so they can be reincarnated.

    ,

    All the ghosts were grateful, knelt down and bowed down, and then led the way away with the help of long incense.

    Before Shen Cong left, he glanced at the enchantment that hadn't dissipated, his gaze fixed.

    He was a little negligent.

    A monster with a small appearance can't transform the barrier.  The enchantment is a medium-level demon technique, and it takes a hundred years of practice, that is, it can only be transformed by a Bing phase monster.

    This one-tailed dog monster has only Ding Xiang Daoxing, and it doesn't look like this enchanted monster.

    unless´´

    This dog monster has accomplices!

    When Shen Cong realized this, a low and gloomy cat roar suddenly came from behind.

    It was too late to say that, Shen Cong turned his wrist, and the jade fan on his waist fell into his palm immediately, and he spread the fan with his slender fingers.

    When the sinister aura approached, the fan stretched back, and a golden halo suddenly appeared, and the guy made an empty space, and when he landed again, he came to the eaves in an instant.

    Shen Cong slowly raised his eyes, meeting a pair of scarlet cat pupils.

    ? A cat demon, Bing phase first rank, one hundred and twelve years of Taoism.

    He secretly held the fan tightly.

    The last time he took advantage of the terrain in the forest to blast and kill the C-phase monster was already his limit.

    Here today, the cat demon is the boss, and he is very sinister.

    What's more, his cultivation base has been suppressed by this evil place. If he faces him head-on, he will be the only one who suffers.

    "It was you who killed my husband?" The back of the demon cat was arched high, and the eyes of the cat were full of grief and anger.

    "He started killing and massacred innocent people. His crime is heinous, and it should be so." Shen Cong responded lightly, without fear.

    "He is my husband, life belongs to me, and death also belongs to me!" The cat demon uttered a series of stern growls, leaned over and rushed over, his eyes were full of monsters, showing murderous intent.

    Shen Cong wanted to raise his feet to dodge, but suddenly felt the mixed fresh blood on the ground tremble, turned into blood-stained chains, wrapped around his pair of soap boots, cast a magic spell, bound them in place, and could not move.

    Oops!

    At this critical moment, a voice suddenly came from the void！！

    "You have a pair of red eyes in the middle of the night, and those who don't know think you are a pair of lanterns."

    A mahogany long sword descended from the sky, and suddenly landed in front of Shen Cong.

    The cat demon was caught off guard and bumped into the mahogany sword.

    I saw that the long sword exploded and released a burst of strong light, which burned the cat demon.

    The cat demon let out a scream, and quickly backed away.  It landed on the wooden platform, staring at the young master who suddenly appeared with the long sword with scarlet eyes, and the sharp voice seemed to be able to cut through the long night！！

    "Stop meddling in your own business, get out!"

    The young master landed in front of Shen Cong, his feet didn't touch the ground, and his clothes were flying.  He faced the cat demon, held the mahogany long sword casually, flipped his wrist, and the tip of the sword touched Shen Cong's acupuncture points.

    A ball of golden light immediately appeared on Shen Cong's body, and he fell down - the moment he touched the chain, the chain was swallowed by the golden light.  The golden light is not extinguished, and continues to spread inch by inch to the ground in all directions.

    In an instant, a formation of golden light began to appear.

    Looking up at the yin and yang diagram behind the son in front of him, Shen Cong stared slowly.

    It is a person in the Taoist sect.

    "Slanting eyebrows and crooked eyes！tsk, Yasha is born three points better than you. It's not your fault for being ugly, it's your fault for coming out in the middle of the night to scare people. My life is very precious. If you scare me, you won't pay  A little treasure?" The young master raised his eyebrows, raised his wooden sword and threw it forward.

    When the cat demon confronted Shen Cong, he seemed to be able to do anything with ease, but when he was fighting with the Taoist priest, he was crushed to the point that he was powerless to parry.  After only a few tricks, he was taken into a bag by the Taoist priest.

    "Thank you, ancestor, for borrowing the method!" The Taoist bowed his head and bowed in all directions, and immediately swung his sleeves to dissolve the formation.

    At the same time, he also collected the bloody white bones and skins and minced meat from the courtyard. After the ground was completely clean, the Taoist priest put away his Taoism and landed leisurely, looking back at the young man in brocade clothes not far away.

    "Jinyiwei Anbu?" The Taoist raised his eyebrows.

    Shen Cong nodded.

    "Next Zhou Hang is the fifty-second generation descendant of the Daoist sect. This time I came to Chang'an, but I am looking for the son of an old man. I wonder if this fellow Daoist can recommend one or two?"  Shen Cong cupped his fists and bowed.

    "I don't know the name and surname of that nobleman?" Shen Cong bowed in return.

    "The new Marquis of Dingguo, Chang'an Gu Jiuling."

    After half a cup of tea, he arrived at the Duwei's mansion.

    In a courtyard study somewhere.

    Song Cheng was wearing an underwear, with a dark complexion, he wrote the promotion document, and took out a brand new token from the drawer under the table, together with the ink-stained document.?Give it to the young man in brocade clothes in front of him.

    "I will get two sets of flying fish robes when I go to work tomorrow." Song Cheng said, glancing outside, "Besides, idlers are not allowed to enter, and this is no exception."

    Zhou Hang, who was staring outside with a group of Jinyi guards, paused slightly when he heard the words.

    The master once told him that Taoism has always been incompatible with other spiritual practices.  It's the same with Buddhism, and it's the same with Jinyiwei Anbu！he warned himself that when he goes out, he must be gentle and modest.

    Seeing you today, it seems a bit biased.

    "Here." Shen Cong bowed, put away the token, and went out slowly.

    He looked at Zhou Hang: "To find Gu Jia Anxian?"

    Zhou Hang nodded, then stood still.

    "Follow me to Prince Qin's Mansion." Shen Cong gestured in a certain direction with his eyes.

    "Use your spell again, and it will be inconvenient for me to pass through it directly." Zhou Hang yawned lazily, "Your Highness has always acted decisively, so he must not be able to ink."

    It turned out that when he came here, Zhou Hang deduced Shen Cong's identity, and also saw Shen Cong's advanced body teleportation technique.

    Shen Cong: "" This guy is so lazy, how did he get accepted by the Taoist sect.

    The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, Shen Cong still flipped his wrist, took off the fan at his waist, and stretched forward.

    A ray of light suddenly appeared and turned into a golden halo. The two jumped through it and went straight to the Qin Palace.

    The Jinyi guards in Anbu are used to it, but Zhou Hang is amazed again and again.

    "Your spell seems to be a high-level spell, similar to that of moving the universe. It's just that His Highness's realm seems！" Zhou Hang glanced sideways, looked Shen Cong up and down, and slammed his mouth, "It's a bit weak."

    Shen Conghun didn't care, and pointed to the front: "Gu Anxian is in Wuwang Pavilion, since you have something to do, go find him yourself, the Lord is going to rest."

    Before he finished speaking, he turned his head and left.

    Zhou Hang nodded, bowed his back and thanked him, and then went forward to knock on the door.

    The wooden door slowly opened back, revealing a white dress like the moon.

    Gu Jiuling's five senses are excellent, and the moment Shen Cong and Zhou Hang appeared, they heard their conversation.

    Hearing that Zhou Hang said that he had something to do, he couldn't help being suspicious.

    Why come to the door in the middle of the night?

    "Your Excellency is the newly promoted Dingguo Marquis, Chang'an Gu Jiuling?" Zhou Hang looked at the male and female face of the young man in front of him, and was amazed by his cleanness, but he did not forget the purpose of this trip, and hurriedly bowed his head.

    "Exactly." Gu Jiuling nodded.

    "Master Hou, can you come out with me now? There is a senior who has been waiting for Master Hou for a long time." Zhou Hang grinned and looked at the person in front of him calmly.

    Quite different from the old master, this young master has a cooler demeanor.

    Like the cloud and moon in the cold, not eating fireworks.

 Main Text Chapter 27 Guangling Sanxian, Clever Words and Fortune Telling

    However, with such a son, the Gu family's direct branch can be regarded as a successor.

    "I have never met you before, but with a few words, why go with you?" Gu Jiuling didn't respond harshly, but just looked at Zhou Hang lightly.

    Zhou Hang smiled: "I know that Lord Hou will not trust you."

    He groped in the sleeve robe for a while, and slowly took out half of the jade pendant, and handed it to Gu Jiuling.

    Gu Jiuling took over.

    With a bright moon and few stars, under the long night, this jade pendant was pinched in the young master's well-proportioned palm, emitting a gentle white light.

    White light wrapped the jade pendant and melted into Gu Jiuling's palm.

    Unprecedented warmth spread in the heart, Gu Jiuling intuitively felt it was wonderful.

    This feeling reminded him subconsciously of the warmth that the demon pill brought him after devouring the half-immortal demon pill that day！exactly the same feeling.

    Gu Jiuling's heart moved, but unexpectedly, he nodded and blurted out: "I'll go with you."

    The lights in Chang'an City were never dark, but there were only a few sparse villages in the suburbs, and the candles were all extinguished early.

    The hot breath, together with the sound of cicadas and frogs, came head-on.

    Looking up into the distance, Gu Jiuling saw a white-haired old man sitting on a small hill not far away.  The old man did not tie his hair with a black gauze hat, and his white hair was only tied with thorn wood.

    There was a gentle breeze at night, and the long hair swayed at will, showing that the old man was lazy and wanton.

    At that time, the old man was sitting cross-legged, looking up at the sky at night.

    Seemingly aware of someone coming from a distance, the old man looked down slowly.

    Gu Jiuling dressed in white sackcloth and came with Zhou Hang on the moon.  The half-moon jade pendant between his brows was exceptionally clear, making his eyes even more clean and clear.

    What a banished fairy son.

    The old man stroked his long beard and said with a loud smile: "Master Hou, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

    "Chang'an Gu Jiuling, I have met my seniors." Gu Jiuling followed Zhou Hang up and bowed to him.

    "Hey, there's no need to be too polite." The old man waved his hands, looked at Gu Jiuling's face, and sighed slightly, "Fifteen years are too short, and that little doll with a doomed face back then has grown into a marquis who protects the country and rules the world.  "

    With a fatal face

    Remembering the incident of exterminating the family that day, Gu Jiuling lowered his eyes unconsciously.

    "However！！Young Lord, your face seems a little strange, and I stretched out my hand to have a look with the old man." The old man clicked his tongue, and suddenly smiled.

    Gu Jiuling obeyed and spread out his palms forward.

    The old man grabbed it and carefully observed it. Suddenly, he was a little bit astonished and clicked his tongue in surprise: "It's amazing, it's amazing."

    "What is the meaning of what the senior said?" Zhou Hang asked subconsciously out of curiosity.

    "The yin and the yang are the opposite, putting the cart before the horse. Inherited for thousands of years, the demon law binds the soul - this should have been against the sky, but Hou Ye met a noble person, turned the evil into good fortune, changed the Hou Ye's fate, and called it the way of heaven.  I have returned the Lord Hou's phoenix life that should have existed." The old man let go, stroked his long beard, and a dark color appeared in his kind and easy-going eyes.

    The fate of the young master is really strange.

    It seems that he was negligent at that time.

    Presumably it was the work of that demon method that he didn't care about back then.

    However, that demonic technique seems to be very similar to the demonic technique of the young master.

    Could it be possible！！

    Thinking of this, the old man twirled his fingers, and his heart became clear.

    Sure enough.

    Hearing this, Gu Jiuling moved his fingers under his sleeve and his face was a little subtle.

    What should have existed, is it the appearance of Feng Ming?

    "Senior was joking, Lord Hou should be the good minister and general who will rule the world." Zhou Hang didn't notice Gu Jiuling's strangeness, so he laughed jokingly.

    "The old man has been fortune-telling for more than a hundred years, and he has never joked with his life." The old man shook his head, looked at Gu Jiuling's face that was almost 90% similar to Gu Yuanjia, and sighed, "It's a pity that it's a phoenix without claws！！  Even if there is a good tree to live in, it can't land on the ground."

    "Senior, what do you mean by this statement?" Gu Jiuling came back to his senses and asked with a bow.

    "The close relatives of Lord Hou's blood, devoted their whole lives to cover the sky and change the fate of Lord Hou - Lord Hou should have a bright future, but the nobles he met also came here to cover the sky. The so-called yin and yang are the intersection of two poles,  Correct the balance. Both of you have broken the balance of heaven, and heaven will not sit idly by." Looking at Gu Jiuling's face, the old man sighed again.

    Such a good Gu family.

    pity.

    "Dare to ask senior, where is the boy?" Gu Jiuling hesitated for a while, and clasped his fists again.

      The old man was startled, but he smiled and said nothing.

    After a while, he pointed to the void behind Gu Jiuling: "Master Hou, look behind you. Whatever you see is the destination of Master Hou."

    When Gu Jiuling heard the words, he and Zhou Hang turned around together.

    The difference is that Zhou Hang saw an empty space, but Gu Jiuling saw a piece of fluorescent light flying from the ground.

    The light scattered in all directions, causing him to be in a trance, and he saw a different scene.

    There is´´

    Gu Jiuling's eyes trembled.

    When I looked back, the old man had disappeared, and so had Zhou Hang.

    It seems that the people I saw and the things I heard just now are nothing more than a dream.

    Glancing at Tianfang's white belly, Gu Jiuling slowly walked back to Chang'an City.

    Send off to Junting in the distance.

    Zhou Hang looked at the old man who suddenly pulled him away, his eyes twitched: "Senior, why did you come and leave in such a hurry?"

    "The old man has some breakfast." The old man took out a greased paper bag from his arms, spread it out, took out a moldy cake, and ate it slowly.

    "Senior, the pastry is broken." Zhou Hang kindly reminded.

    "It's okay. This bag of cakes has been stored for more than ten years, and if it breaks, you can taste the craftsmanship of the past." The old man swallowed slowly, looking at the towering city wall in front of him with clear eyes.

    But for Master Hou's fate, he could no longer calculate the exact same hexagrams as before.

    Just like traveling through the clouds, wherever you look, there is a vast expanse of whiteness.

    The future is unpredictable.

    Zhou Hang looked at the old man, and unconsciously remembered what his master had said.

    This old man is Guangling Sanxian, and his skill of astronomical deduction is unparalleled in the world.

    In the past, the master and Sanxian traveled to mountains and rivers and became close friends. They were fortunate to meet the general of the Gu family, and they first established the country and waited for Gu Yuanjia.

    It was also that year that Xiao Shizi was born.

    Out of friendship, Sanxian stood outside the courtyard and immediately calculated a trick for Gu Jiuling.

    As for what hexagram is, the master did not elaborate.

    Zhou Hang recalled what the senior said just now, and felt that it was some bad hexagrams.

    However He still doesn't quite believe the phoenix's fate that Senior Cai said just now.

    Ding Guohou looked upright and masculine, how could he look like a little girl.

    He was cultivated by the old Hou Ye to support the Shen Dynasty in the Central Plains, and a talented minister who aspired to the top of the world. How could he be put on a phoenix crown and become a three thousand beauties.

    It's not the era of chaos and prosperity thousands of years ago.

    Zhou Hang wanted to laugh when he thought of the young master wearing a phoenix coronet and Xiapei.

    Thinking of the old man next to him, Zhou Hang could only cover his fists and cough, his shoulders were shaking.

    The old man gnawed on the pancake leisurely, covered his lips after a while, and coughed.

    After he let go, Zhou Hang caught a glimpse of the shocking blood red in the old man's palm.

    "Senior?!"

    ?The old man waved his hand: "I deduce half my life, and I deduce that I cough up blood once, so there is no need to make a fuss."

    Zhou Hang: "" Senior said it really lightly.

    The old man didn't care at all, but had a vague feeling.

    All things in the world are ordered by laws.  If the sequence is disordered, disasters will arise.  The rampant monsters in the mortal world mean that the law is unstable.

    Nian Jue melted away the blood in his hands, and the old man looked at Chang'an City again, with a faint smile in the corner of his eyes.

    Judging from the sky he was peeping at, the order of laws is all in the hands of those young people.

    In this way, the future can also be expected

 Main Text Chapter 28 Palace Banquet Changes at Night, Flying Daggers (1)

    The Palace of the Prince of Qin became quiet, and the night banquet of the Chang'an Palace was still going on all night long.

    Three hours ago.

    A group of courtiers came leisurely and took their seats in order.  Crown Prince Shen Yu wore a bright yellow python robe and sat beside Emperor Jing Yuan, rubbing her eyes warmly with a woman next to her.

    The woman was dressed in palace attire, with a flamboyant and glamorous appearance, and her face was full of heroism, especially the little flowers between her eyebrows, which were particularly eye-catching.

    When a lady from the official family saw the flower tin, she couldn't help being curious, and asked the maid serving on one side crisply: "The crown princess's flower tin is very beautiful, who painted it? Can you find it for me and draw one too?"  "

    The palace maid covered her lips, and bowed gracefully: "Miss Hui, it was painted by the prince himself, and you can't do anything about it."

    Your Highness the Crown Prince.

    The official lady looked at the couple over there, and couldn't help feeling envious.

    It turned out that this beautiful woman in palace attire was none other than the Crown Princess Shen Xiaoshi.

    After Shen Xiao was born in the general family, he is proficient in the art of war and has superb martial arts.

    A few years ago, Shen Xiao went to the battlefield with his father to support Shen Yu's Northern Expedition to conquer Yan's army.  It was also in that battle that the prince and his wife got married, and after returning to the court, they asked Emperor Jing Yuan to give him a marriage contract.

    Emperor Jing Yuan readily agreed, and held a lively and lively wedding for the prince and his wife. Even the canonization ceremony of the crown prince was outrageously extravagant.

    Today the husband and wife are reunited, Shen Xiao has been waiting in Daming Palace early.  Seeing Shen Xuan coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Emperor Jing Yuan saw this, and let the young couple go to the side hall to chat about themselves.

    It wasn't until the dinner began that the two sat beside Emperor Jing Yuan.

    Looking further down, there are several princes and princesses who are only in their prime.

    Emperor Jing Yuan looked left and right, but seeing no one, he waved to the side.

    Eunuch Li stepped forward immediately with a whisk in his arms, bowed his waist and said with a smile, "Long live."

    "Where is Changle?" Emperor Jing Yuan asked.

    "Go back to Long Live, Her Royal Highness the Princess is changing clothes in the side hall, and she said that she will perform a dance to welcome the Crown Prince." Eunuch Li responded with a smile.

    Changle is the title of Shen Chao, the four princesses of the Celestial Dynasty.

    This girl.

    Emperor Jing Yuan shook his head and laughed, and raised his glass to the ministers who congratulated the crown prince on his triumphant return.

    As soon as the song fell, the sound of the song changed suddenly, and the gurgling water suddenly came out.

    "The princess welcomes guests and presents a dance!"

    A eunuch shouted, and the lights around the stage suddenly went out.

    Jin se blew in unison, followed by the sound of flute.

    A paper lantern above the stage was lit up, and red silk flew from the distant night, entangled on the beam above the stage.

    ? A robe with long sleeves grasped one end of the red silk, came from the air, landed firmly on the table, and slowly bent sideways to look back.

    This girl has high curly hair on her temples, and the two blushes at the corners of her eyes are like peach petals.  The girl was wearing a white gauze, only revealing the eyes that were like a prince's, with crooked brows and eyes when smiling.

    It was also this pair of watery eyes that aroused the amazement of the audience when they looked back and smiled.

    The so-called Bai Meisheng who looks back and smiles is probably nothing more than that.

    The music suddenly changed, the pipa sounded, the big bell struck, and the girl on the stage raised her water sleeves and danced to the music, frowning and moving like the flying girl in the Dunhuang murals.

    In a corner under the stage, a brocade-clothed young man also followed the princes and nobles, raised his elegant and indifferent eyes, and looked up at the girl who seemed to be unique in this world.

    He didn't realize that his heart was slowly speeding up with the music.

    Some hazy drunkenness.

    I don't know whether people are intoxicated or drunk.

    As the song fell, the applause from the audience was thunderous, one after another.

    The girl turned to the side of the high platform, lowered her eyes and bowed softly: "My son has seen the father, long live the father, long live the father."

    He bowed to Shen Yu and his wife again: "Changle welcomes the crown prince's elder brother to return in triumph."

    "Changle doesn't need to be polite. Come and sit down quickly. Dad left you your favorite hibiscus cake." Emperor Jing Yuan greeted her cheerfully.

    Shen Chao, that is, the girl, raised her eyebrows and smiled when she heard the words.

    She hurriedly changed into a set of skirts, and Dian'er Dian'er ran to Emperor Jing Yuan's side to cuddle up and sit down.

    Looking at the pile of hibiscus cakes in front of him, Shen Chao's eyes were filled with joy.

    In the world, only the elder brother of the prince can show off his beauty with hibiscus cake.

    She slowly took off the white gauze, picked up a piece of hibiscus cake, and slowly sipped it.

    Below, the brocade-clothed young man who had been watching here from the corner of his eye, caught a glimpse of Shen Chao under the veil.Looking at his face, he was slightly taken aback.

    The night banquet was still about singing and dancing, so Shen Chao talked to Shen Ting and his wife a little more personally, and then coquettishly coquettishly with Emperor Jing Yuan, and took the maid of honor to the Penglai Hall where Concubine Mu Gui lived.

    Concubine Mu Gui was pregnant with Liujia, and it was really inconvenient to attend. Emperor Jing Yuan thought that she was heavy, so he asked Eunuch Li to send some ice cubes to relieve her from the heat.

    Shen Chao bathed in the night and walked forward leisurely.

    All the way on the bluestone slabs, taking advantage of the cool breeze at night, it is very leisurely.

    "You go and fetch the regular portion of ice in my palace. My concubine is afraid of the heat. I'll wait for you in the long corridor and go to Penglai Hall together." As he walked, Shen Chao suddenly remembered something and hurriedly paused.  He stopped, looked sideways at the maid beside him, and said with a smile.

    The maid bowed and turned to leave.

    Shen Chao walked to the corridor and sat down slowly.

    The moonlight is diffuse in the lotus pond, and the small leaves are only showing their sharp corners.

    Shen Chao narrowed his eyes comfortably, feeling quite happy.

    Today, the prince's elder brother is still in court, and in the future she can go to the East Palace to listen to his elder brother's anecdotes about the frontier.

    In an instant, a strong wind rose above the lotus pond.

    Shen Chao suddenly opened his eyes, touched his sleeve robe, and pulled out a soft whip.

    "Who is here, why don't you show up soon?" Standing up in one step, Shen looked around.

    Although she was spoiled and spoiled, she was deeply impressed by Shen Ting's admiration for martial arts, and she practiced martial arts since childhood.  Especially the one-handed whip method is even better than blue.

    A ray of evil wind suddenly came, blowing chaotically and sinking towards the black hair.

    Shen Chao turned around, his water eyes suddenly widened.

    After a few breaths, frogs croaked again in the lotus pond.

    The corridor also became quiet, as if nothing was unusual.

    Except for that one, the soft whip lying quietly on the ground.

    In Daming Palace and Linde Hall, bells and drums are still played for the night banquet.

    At that time, there was suddenly the sound of Zhang Luo beating drums outside.

    It was extremely noisy, and it seemed to be faint, and a fight could be faintly heard.

    The sound of drumming and music stopped suddenly.

    Everyone looked at each other, as if they sensed something was wrong.

    Emperor Jing Yuan narrowed his eyes, and asked loudly: "What's going on outside, such a commotion?"

    Eunuch Li ran in in a panic, knelt down on the ground with a plop, his expression extremely terrified: "Long live, someone broke into the palace at night and killed the felon Duan Zhengqing!"

    As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

    It turned out that a group of assassins came at night and lurked in the prison. While the guards were drinking and eating meat, they killed everyone and cut off Duan Zhengqing's head before leaving.

    Seeing the assassin, the imperial guard who stayed at night immediately drew his sword and stepped forward.

    The fight outside was caused by the fighting between the two sides.

    "Presumptuous! Yunji, lead the troops to capture the assassin, be sure to torture who ordered it!" Emperor Jing Yuan was furious and stood up.

 Main Text Chapter 29 Palace Banquet Night Changes, Flying Daggers (2)

    Yunji is Shen Ting's small characters, on the day of his birth, Emperor Jing Yuan personally picked up a pen and took it down.

    Hearing the words, Shen Ting got up quickly, bowed her head and said: "Your servant takes orders!"

    After stabilizing the flustered courtiers, Shen Ting ordered a group of shadow guards to protect Emperor Jing Yuan and left first, then looked at Shen Xiaoshi beside him.

    "Sanniang, go to the East Palace and wait for me, I'll be back soon." Shen Ting smiled slightly.

    "Your Highness, Sanniang will fight side by side with you." Shen Xiaoshi shook his head.

    All her martial arts skills have been passed down by veterans, and she is also a young general who has been on the battlefield. She accompanied Shen Ting to capture a few assassins, and she was quite sure.

    "Okay." Shen Ting's heart moved, and she quietly clenched Shen Xiao's hand.

    The fighting outside has become intense.

    The Assassins and the Praetorians faced each other, and no one could tell the difference.

    Until a long arrow pierced through the air and pierced straight into the heart of the leading assassin.

    Not far away, Shen Ting walked slowly with a longbow in hand.

    "Keep one alive, and the rest of the assassins will be killed without mercy!" Shen Yu raised her longbow, drew out her waist saber, and opened her lips in a cold and clear voice, "Listen to your orders, kill!"

    Immediately stepped forward.

    Shen Xiao drew the long bow on his back, jumped to the eaves, and at the moment when Shen Ting was heading towards him, he stretched the bow to open the way for him.

    Dozens of shadow guards came from all over the palace to help Shen Xuan and the imperial guards.

    With the prince rushing forward, the morale of the imperial guards was boosted, each of them clenched their swords tightly, and roared and rushed over.

    Under the flickering yellow light, the two sides fought in scuffle.

    Knives and guns collided, and blood flowed horizontally.

    Just when Shen Ting overwhelmed the assassin and was about to catch the man holding Duan Zheng's head, a whistle sounded suddenly.

    The temperature dropped suddenly in all directions, and a group of masked assassins leaped down from the eaves of the palace.

    The number was so large that it exceeded twice that of the imperial guards.

    "The plan has changed! Whoever captures the head of Shen Yu will be rewarded with a hundred hectares of fertile land, ten thousand taels of gold, and the title of general!" Someone shouted, and a group of assassins rushed straight to the group surrounded by the imperial guards and shadow guards.  Shen Yu.

    "Your Highness, be careful!" Shen Xiaoshi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly drew the feathered arrow to his back.

    Unexpectedly, the arrows are exhausted.

    "Sanniang, back!" Shen Ting raised her eyes, saw a cold light flashing behind Shen Xiaoshi, her gaze sank immediately, and she shouted.

    After all, Shen Xiaoshi is not a newborn calf. When she saw the assassin in ambush from all sides, she knew that the assassin had planned tonight, and she had been secretly guarding against it.

    When he noticed the murderous aura coming from behind, Shen Xiao threw his long bow and leaped forward a few steps, then turned his head and flicked his wide sleeves.

    Under the night light, a silver needle emitting a faint green light flew out, and plunged into the eyebrow of the sneak attacking assassin with the force of a long arrow.

    The assassin's pupils suddenly dilated, rolled from the eaves to the ground, twitched for a while, and lost his breath.

    Seeing that Shen Xiao's life was not in danger for the time being, Shen Ting heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time looked at the assassin who was holding his head and was about to retreat.

    Anger arose in her heart, and the murderous aura was undoubtedly revealed on Shen Yu's gentle face like an exiled immortal.

    "Kill!" Shen Ting rushed towards the assassin with all her internal strength, and the assassin raised his dagger to resist.

    However, the dagger was not as good as the battlefield sword, and it was severed by the long sword in just one breath. The sword body was as powerful as a bamboo, and it drove in, piercing the assassin's lute bone.

    The piercing pain hit, and the assassin's face was distorted in pain.

    Shen Ting flicked her wrist, chopped off the assassin's hands and feet, knocked him unconscious with one palm, and looked back at the assassin who was approaching her.

    He looked indifferently at the assassin who was approaching at every step in front of him, his tightly locked brows suddenly relaxed, and his murderous aura was restrained - it seemed that His Royal Highness, the prince who was decisive in killing the last moment, was completely different from him.

    Afraid there is a fraud?

    The assassins hesitated and subconsciously slowed down.

    It was also that they slowed down for a while, which gave the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty who came over a great opportunity to make a move.

    "Clang！！" "Clang！！"

    Just one sound came out of the sheath, the Xiuchun Knife was under the embers of the long night, rising and falling with the master, flipping and striking out the blade.

    In just a short time, all the assassins were killed and there were very few left.

    Seeing that the situation was over, the few remaining ones who were still above the eaves wanted to flee.

    "Withdraw!"

    After the voice fell, they immediately ran outside the palace.

    "Shhhhh！！"

    In the white moon at night, several filaments of silver light flew out, directly sinking into the backs of those assassins.

      The assassins let out a muffled grunt, then fell from the eaves.

    Shen Xiaoshi lightly retracted his wide sleeves and let out a smirk.

    Want to run?  Have you inquired about her reputation in Jianghu?

    It turns out that Shen Xiao's martial arts are not only top-notch, but also the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle is superb. It can be said that the blue is better than the blue.

    The Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle was bestowed upon him by a well-known master in Jianghu.  Shen Xiaoshi is not a lazy master, but also talented and intelligent, so he has naturally developed it into a housekeeping skill.

    When Jin Yiwei, a group of imperial guards, and shadow guards began to clean up the mess, Shen Ting carried Duan Zhengqing's head in one hand and the half-dead assassin in the other, and entered the palace dungeon.

    After pulling out the poisonous fangs in the assassin's mouth, after some severe torture, Shen Ting finally asked who ordered the assassin.

    It is not the other, but the Emperor Dali.

    After the Emperor of Dali heard that Duan Zhengqing was defeated, he was afraid that he would reveal the secrets of Dali, so he sent dead soldiers to pretend to be the accompanying captives and guard the station during the day.

    When it was night, they put on night clothes and set out in full force.

    First, he silently killed the imperial guards guarding the inn, and then quietly sneaked into the palace. When most of the imperial guards and shadow guards gathered in Daming Palace to protect Emperor Jingyuan, he waited for the opportunity and sneaked into the prison.  Kill Duan Zhengqing.

    Just in time, using this as an excuse, he once again went to war against the Celestial Dynasty and demanded protons.

    Poor Duan Zhengqing, who has been loyal all his life and has guarded the cold frontier for more than ten years without complaint or regret, but he cannot escape the suspicion of the emperor.

    It ended up like this.

    Shen Ting was silent for a while, seeing that she couldn't ask any more questions, she directly gave the assassin a happy one.

    He can be kind, but his kindness will not be an excuse for his soft heart.

    After ordering someone to pack up Duan Zhengqing's body, Shen Ting went to the station, and was relieved to find that the proton was still sleeping in the station.

    Another wave of imperial guards and shadow guards of the palace were sent to guard in turn, and Shen Xuan returned to the East Palace.

    Shen Xiao stayed at the door without turning off the lights.

    Seeing that Shen Ting's eyes were full of tiredness, she couldn't help showing distressed expression.

    She stepped forward in twos and threes, and put a thin cloak on the former's shoulders.

    "His Royal Highness spends many years with gold and iron horses, and has shared the cold and cold with the generals. If you don't spare your body, how will you relieve your father's worries in the future?" Shen Xiao blamed.

    Shen Ting smiled slightly, wanting to reach out and caress the scattered blue hair of the woman in front of her.

    However, he remembered that he had turned back from the sky prison, and the smell of blood was still on his body, so he silently put down his hand.

    "San Niang, let's rest early." Shen Ting bowed her head, looked at the flower tincture on Shen Xiao's forehead, and smiled slightly.

    Shen Xiaoshi nodded and went back to the palace with him.

    This night, Shen Ting always felt a little restless.

    Until the next day, the noise outside woke up the entire quiet palace.

 Main Text Chapter 30 Burning the Demon Lair, Meet Mu Feng for the First Time (1)

    Shen Ting had always been a light sleeper, and after being woken up, she quickly changed her clothes and got up.

    Shen Xiaoshi also woke up.

    "Your Highness?" She was a little confused.

    "It's still early, you can rest for a while." Shen Ting stroked her head, got up and walked out of the bedroom, closing the wooden door.

    Shen Ting walked towards the door, and at the same time smelled the accompanying father-in-law: "What's so noisy outside?"

    "Your Highness, last night, last night！" the father-in-law hesitated for a while, and his eyes turned red, "Princess Changle was taken away by a monster!"

    With a stagger, Shen Ting couldn't stabilize her heels and almost fell to the ground.

    Jiaojiaowas kidnapped by a monster?

    If such a little girl enters the monster's lair, can she still come out alive?

    Taking a suffocating breath, Shen Ting suddenly knew where the uneasiness in her heart came from yesterday.

    If he had gone out yesterday to inquire, maybe his fourth younger sister is still in the palace, sleeping soundly.

    Shen Ting was extremely annoyed, and raised her internal strength to quickly walk towards the Penglai Hall.

    At the beginning of Yinshi.

    Outside the Penglai Hall.

    After Emperor Jingyuan came down to court, he came here with cold eyes, and said to Eunuch Li: "You must not tell the noble concubine about this. If she makes any mistakes, I will definitely not forgive you lightly."

    Eunuch Li responded tremblingly, and hurriedly informed all the maids and eunuchs in Penglai Palace to seal up the arrest of Shen Chao.

    At that time, Song Cheng went to work with an injury and was leading Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling to search for clues.

    When Song Cheng saw the evil spirit on the long whip, he moved his nose to distinguish it carefully. When he smelled the trace of anger on one side of the whip, Song Cheng quickly deduced it, and his eyes changed instantly.

    It is the ninth-rank fox demon of the third phase who is about to step into the ranks of monsters of the second phase.

    The princess is now in danger.

    "Shen Cong, I will tell you a place, and you should keep it in mind - at three o'clock in the morning, the Yin energy is in full swing, and you will go west along Chang'an City and stop at a thousand steps. Bring a long whip and use the breath of a princess to attract the spirit.  , make the fox demon cave appear."

    As Song Cheng said, he seemed to be agitated, coughed twice and said hoarsely, "Take He Qi. His cultivation level is higher than yours, and he can protect your life."

    Shen Cong nodded.

    The moment he smelled the monster's breath on the long whip, the system also told him the origin of the monster.

    ? Four-tailed black fox, Bing phase ninth grade, four hundred and ninety-seven years of practice.

    This is a rather tricky master.

    Even if he puts all his effort into cultivating himself, he will surely perish in his hands.

    Shen Cong didn't hesitate, and after bowing, he quickly ordered the shadow guards in his mansion to find He Qi.

    Seeing this, Gu Jiuling was ready to continue to clean up the demon marks with the group of Jin Yiwei.

    "Gu Jiuling, I am ordering you to go to the post station. In a few days, there will be monsters. You take a few Jinyi guards, wait for the rabbits, and capture them alive." Song Cheng said again.

    Gu Jiuling bowed and left.

    Not far away, Emperor Jing Yuan glanced at the two departing young masters, his eyes flickered, and then hurried forward and asked: "Song Aiqing, why are there always monsters in my Chang'an City, but Yanjing has never had one?"  Only a demon?"

    "Your majesty must have forgotten what the lord who came before, cough-cough！has done." Song Cheng covered his fists and coughed, and gave a wry smile.

    "Who?" Emperor Jing Yuan frowned slightly in confusion.

    "Three parts of the world are Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bowen dominates the country. The person I mentioned in my mouth is him." Song Cheng opened his lips lightly, "The monsters and ghosts in Chang'an City are all related to Liu Ji."

    It turned out that in those years, after Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, he secretly issued an imperial decree to Liu Ji, ordering him to cut off all the dragon veins in the world, leaving only Yingtianfu.

    Liu Ji traveled all over the world, cut off all the dragon veins of Shenzhou, and deduced that the dragon veins of Yingtianfu were approaching, so he quietly left a dragon vein of Yanjing.

    So there was the later king of Yan, Zhu Di, who proclaimed himself emperor.

    So far, the only dragon vein in Shenzhou Huaxia is Yanjing.

    However, Yanjing is still in the hands of the Turks, and it is an important place for military strategists-the Chinese Empire has not recaptured the Forbidden City for ten years in the Northern Expedition.

    ?Dragon veins, a geomantic treasure land blessed by immortals, are favored by the longevity gods, and are intimidated by the aura of the emperor's crape myrtle. Therefore, for thousands of years, wherever there are dragon veins, there are no demons rampant within a hundred miles.

    And Chang'an's dragon vein was cut off by Liu Ji as early as the early dynasty.

    It is also because of this that the demon dared to ignore the awe of the Emperor Ziwei's aura and ran rampant in all directions.

    After listening to Song Cheng's words, Emperor Jing Yuan asked thoughtfully, "Can the dragon's veins be repaired?"

    "Repairing the dragon's veins is an act against the heavens. Ruo Qiang??Repair will inevitably attract divine punishment and affect the country.  Song Cheng immediately shook his head seriously, "Your Majesty, this is definitely not feasible."  "

    Emperor Jing Yuan nodded his head: "Lao Qi is a weak man, if he confronts the goblin for four hundred years, what chance does he have?"

    If two children were brought in, he would fight that vixen forever.

    "If he leaves alone, there is no chance of winning. If he is accompanied by He Qi, there is a 90% chance." Song Cheng laughed, and his face was serious, "The emperor forgot.  Stuffed to King Qin's side."

    Emperor Jing Yuan was silent for a moment, waved his hand and took Eunuch Li away.

    Song Cheng looked at the back of Emperor Jing Yuan, and shook his head unavoidably.

    If it was true, the emperor would not place such a good master by Shen Cong's side.

    Forget it, the emperor's heart is unpredictable.

    He is eating the emperor's food, so don't try to figure out the master's mind.

    With this in mind, Song Cheng sent Jin Yiwei, who had cleaned up the surrounding area, to return home with him.

    Speaking of Shen Cong, after turning back to Prince Qin's mansion, he was changing into plain clothes when He Qi hurried back.

    Looking at the injuries all over his body, Shen Cong raised his eyebrows: "Going to fight with wild wolves?"

    "Your Highness is joking, my subordinate." He Qi shook his head, lowered his eyes and handed over a book, "This is the roster sent by someone from the secret door sent by Mr. Chen！half of the girls who fell in the human skin trading case in the past are all here  place."

    Shen Cong heard the words, took the notebook and opened it.

    It is the original manuscript.

    If this thing is not driven into a hidden pile, I am afraid it will not be possible to get it.

    Presumably, when He Qi handed over to the person from the secret door, he was chased up by the person in charge of buying and selling human skins, and was about to kill people to silence them and get back the manuscript.

    "Who is coming?" Shen Cong asked as he turned the pages.

    "About a dozen, all of which are in the Nascent Soul Realm. Among them, there is only one monster of Phase B." He Qi cupped his fists and bowed, and responded lightly.

    Shen Cong's hand flipping the book paused slightly.

    Monster?

    He slowly frowned.

    "This is over in advance. Tonight, you follow me out of the city, capture the fox demon, and rescue Changle." Putting the book in his bag, Shen Cong flipped his wrist, offered a bottle of elixir and handed it over, "Go back now  Replenish your energy."

    He patted He Qi's shoulder, turned his head and walked towards Yunzhaiju.

    He Qi looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand, his gaze deepened slightly.

    His Highness's talent for refining medicine seems not to have improved in recent years.

    Days alternate, stars rise.

    Under the bright and bright moon, the two figures left Chang'an City with lightning speed.

    In the darkness, a pair of green cat eyes stared closely at the backs of the two swiftly walking figures.

    It walked out slowly, under the long night and bright moon, its black fur was so clear.

 Main Text Chapter 31 Burning the Demon Lair, Meet Mu Feng for the First Time (2)

    At that time, another figure wearing a black cloak and a ghostly face slowly appeared at the corner of the street.

    "Today, I will take you to taste the daughter of the princes and nobles." Looking at the leaving figure, the ghost smiled, and stroked the mane on the back of the big cat beside him.

    The big cat's pupils flashed, and the pale green pupils gradually turned scarlet.

    When Shen Cong and He Qi searched for the vixen's cave according to the method described by Song Cheng, they found that someone had already stepped into the vixen's cave first.

    The ears caught the sound of fighting skills inside, and the two looked at each other in blank dismay, using magic spells to hide their bodies, and walked inside cautiously.

    Deep in the cave, inside the prison.

    Shen Chao was drugged, and when he woke up from a drowsy state, he smelled a disgusting stench, his face immediately turned pale, and he woke up completely.

    She reached out to close her sense of smell, then opened her eyes to look.

    I saw a pair of blood-stained clogs.

    Looking up along the wooden clogs, Shen Chao caught a glimpse of a crescent robe.

    This is a young man.

    Compared with the newly-promoted Dingguo Marquis, that is, Gu Jiuling, his appearance is even better than that - both of them have the demeanor of an exile, but Gu Jiuling is colder in his bones, and the people in front of him seem to be more indifferent.

    At that time, the young master was fighting with a four-tailed fox with a long ice sword in his hand.

    He is wearing a black gauze hat, and the broken hair hanging from his temples flutters with his shape, flying wantonly.  A pair of pupils are like the wind, full of composure, when dealing with the fox demon, there is no panic.

    Looking from Shen Chao here, it looks like a little gentleman who comes out of a painting.

    Seeing the ice long sword, Shen Chaochao's mind also had the identity of this young master.

    Since ancient times, there have been countless hermit families.  Among them, the Ling family is the first Jiazi.

    And the son in front of him is the young master of the Ling clan, Ling Junhan.

    Ling Junhan, whose name is Mu Feng, and whose name is Guangling Jun, studied under the Taoist master, and also learned from Gu Yuanjia to practice martial arts and self-cultivation.

    In the past, he was the best in the world with his family's Ice Sword Technique.

    After leaving the teacher, it coincided with the founding of the Celestial Dynasty and conquered the Quartet. Because Ling Junhan couldn't bear the decline of the Central Plains, he abandoned his martial arts and went into business.

    There are five heroes in the Central Plains, and Lord Guangling is the first one.

    It turned out that he was the elder brother of the Ling family who was both civil and military.

    I heard from my father that if Lord Guangling hadn't intended to pursue an official career, I'm afraid he would have a place in the current court.

    Let's look at the two fighting methods again.

    The four-tailed fox already has a half-human figure-a demon-faced human body, and the four black tails behind it sneak up on Ling Junhan from time to time.

    Ling Junhan didn't hesitate to back down. When the fox tail attacked again, he took advantage of his strength to jump forward, turned his wrist around, and slashed down with his sword.

    The moment the sword tip touched the black tail, the frost spread instantly, wrapping the fox tail in just a moment, freezing it in mid-air.

    Ling Junhan landed steadily on the fox's tail, and the fox's tail shattered at the sound, shattering into powder.

    The fox demon roared in pain, staring at Ling Junhan with tearful eyes, and charged forward with all his demon power.

    "Ice sword art, hurry like a law!" At that time, Ling Junhan, who had been silent since entering the room, slowly opened his lips, and bit his finger on the sword that was dripping with blood.

    With a loud bang, the long ice sword broke away from its master's hand, and pierced directly into the lifeblood of the fox demon's back.

    The four-tailed black fox let out a scream, and the frost spread instantly on the piece of skin that was submerged by the long sword.  In just a moment, the whole body of Erhu became an ice sculpture.

    Ling Junhan drew back the long sword, and the long sword disintegrated with the power in his palm. He no longer looked at the fox demon, but glanced at He Qi and Shen Cong next to him, and after bowing, he walked towards the cage.

    "Your Highness, it was too late for the grassroots to save you." Ling Junhan slapped the cage with his palm, shattering the latter, and helped Shen Chao out, stepped back three or two steps, and bowed his head again.

    Shen Chao waved his hand: "I should thank Mr. Guangling for his help."

    She looked at Shen Cong again, and bowed to Shen Congfu: "Brother Seventh Emperor."

    Shen Cong shook his head: "I don't care about relatives when I'm outside. I trouble Lord Guangling to escort the princess back to the palace. I'm going to go to the Duwei's Mansion next time."

    After finishing speaking, he dispelled Ling Junhan's ice technique, put the corpse of the fox demon into the bag, and turned away with He Qi.

    Ling Junhan bowed to Shen Cong's back, turned sideways and lowered his eyes and said: "Your Highness, please move."

    Listening to his easy-going voice, Shen Chao unconsciously blushed.

    "good."

    longUnderneath, two graceful figures walked out of the demon lair slowly.

    Shen Chao was in the front, and suddenly noticed that the people behind him stopped and were about to turn around, only to hear the people behind him speak！！

    "Your Highness, don't look back, and go forward."

    After being taken aback for a moment, Shen Chao followed his words and walked forward.

    The pace is extremely slow.

    Ling Junhan looked back at the demon cave, made a seal with both hands, and chanted a mantra with his eyes closed.

    After a while, the young master suddenly opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to write a talisman in the void.

    The words have a golden light, which is even more surprising.

    "Order the heavens and the earth to burn the land of evil spirits, hurry like a law! Go!" The talisman was completed, and Ling Junhan slapped it forward with a palm.

    The talisman pressed down on the demon cave with the momentum of suppressing mountains and rivers.

    "Boom!"

    Only a loud noise was heard, and the whole demon lair burst into flames. At first glance, it looked like daytime, and it was very bright.

    Shen Chao finally felt a little uneasy, he stopped and looked back.

    Looking up, the crescent moon robe was slowly walking towards him with the torrent of flames on his back.

    What filled his eyes was the determination to slay demons and demons, and the easy-going attitude to treat all beings equally.

    The little princess who was held in the palm will never forget such a scene.

    That night, he broke into Shen Chao's heart with the bright night fire, like the elegant demeanor of an exiled fairy.

    Here, Shen Cong ordered He Qi to go back to Qin Wang's mansion to rest, and then used the teleportation technique to step out of the golden halo and come straight to Duwei's mansion.

    "My lord." Seeing that Shen Cong was wearing a black flying fish robe, the two Jin Yiwei who had been in the night quickly cupped their fists and bowed their heads.

    "Master Song is going to bed?" Shen Cong waved his hand.

    "Yun Zhe, Master Song has been waiting for you." At this moment, Qin Zheng walked out of the Captain's Mansion and pointed inside, "Go, he has been waiting for you for a long time."

    "Thank you, Brother Bozhong." Shen Cong bowed, handed over the token to be checked by the two guards, and then went straight to Song Cheng's courtyard.

    Shen Cong knocked on the ring on the door three times, and a hoarse voice came from inside！！

    "Enter."

    Pushing the door open and entering, Shen Cong caught a glimpse of Song Cheng wearing a tunic and only a thin cloak sitting in the corridor of the courtyard, warming a pot of wine and drinking leisurely.

    It's just that there are two wine cups on the table.

    "Sit down." Song Cheng waved to Shen Cong.

    Shen Cong sat down as he said.

    "Have you seen He Qi's strength?" Song Cheng poured a glass of warm wine for Shen Cong, and the two toasted.

    "The one who rescued the princess today was the Five Heroes of the Central Plains, Lord Guangling." Shen Cong gulped it down, frowning slightly.

    When this wine is mixed with water, the taste will be greatly reduced.

 Chapter 32 The cat ghost reappears, the imperial concubine gives birth prematurely (1)

    Song Cheng paused slightly for the hand holding the wine cup.

    Five Heroes of the Central Plains Mr. Guangling

    In recent years, after he became a teacher, he tried his best to restore the business prosperity of the Central Plains, opened the road to the Western Regions in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and asked the merchant of the Celestial Dynasty, Bu Zetianxia, ??who abandoned his military to start a business, why did he pick up a shuriken again?

    Could it be

    Thinking of Shen Chao, Song Cheng gradually had speculations in his heart, and he couldn't help but click his tongue.

    Sure enough, since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty.

    This Lord Guangling can be regarded as the leader of the younger generation.

    "Why, I hate that my drink is not mellow." Song Cheng looked sideways, saw Shen Cong's frown, and couldn't help laughing.

    "My lord is just a little bit reluctant to spend money, and it's not because the wine is bad." A good jar of Nvhong was boiled like this by you, a stingy master.  Shen Cong put down the wine cup calmly, and looked up solemnly.

    Song Cheng: "" This brat.

    He simply held a jug of warm wine in his arms, drank heavily, and looked at the long night: "That four-tailed black fox, I will go to record it tomorrow."

    Shen Cong nodded.

    The filing needs to be approved by the commanding envoy. If so, then it will come back to work tomorrow.

    "Shen Cong, do you know what cultivation is?" Song Cheng suddenly opened his lips.

    "Practitioners, self-cultivation and self-cultivation, seek the way of immortality. Strengthening the righteous and eliminating evil should be spiritual practice." Shen Cong replied.

    "En." Song Cheng suddenly lifted the jug in the void and poured it down.

    The wine was actually divided into two groups, floating in the air, each of which was different from each other.

    "Get rid of the dross, it is the essence. Practice, abandon external distracting thoughts, what is left behind is the Tao. If the mind of the Tao exists, all difficulties can be broken." He pointed a ball of water at Shen Cong's wine cup, and the wine  It fell at the sound.

    Shen Cong was thoughtful.

    He picked up the wine cup and took a sip, and the pure daughter's red fragrance immediately spread between his lips and teeth.

    As for another ball of water, it fell into Song Cheng's wine cup.

    Song Cheng smiled slightly, drank the clear water in the cup, got up and walked into the house

    "Go back. I'll just mention a few things to you, and the path of practice in the future is entirely up to you to explore."

    The voice came out of nowhere, but it was exceptionally clear.

    Although this guy is greedy for money and stingy, he has quite a bit of insight into the way of cultivation.

    As he said, the way of Tao is not easy to find.

    Shen Cong got up, bowed to the closed door of the room, extinguished the small fire on the table, and then set off to return to the Qin Palace.

    Trouble will always follow.

    The next day.

    The silence of Prince Qin's Mansion was broken by a hasty knock on the door.

    Lao Liu hastily ran over and pulled the door bolt, then tried his best to open the rich door, and saw several Jin Yiwei in black bullfighting robes, and one of them was very familiar.

    Isn't it Gu Jiuling?

    "Where is Shen Yunzhe?" Gu Jiuling clasped fists with Old Liu.

    "Your Highness is still resting at this meeting, and you all look in a hurry, but there is something urgent." Lao Liu bowed his head and bowed in return.

    "Important matter. Please trouble Uncle Liu to go."

    Lao Liu hurriedly responded, went to Yunzhaiju, and gently knocked on the wooden door.

    "Master, someone is looking for you outside."

    There was a rustling sound inside, and after a short while, the wooden door opened in response.

    Shen Cong straightened his clothes and looked up at the sky.

    At about the beginning of Yinshi, he had only practiced for less than an hour.

    "Grandpa"

    "I know who it is." Before Lao Liu could finish his sentence, Shen Cong had already stepped forward, riding the golden halo to Gu Jiuling's side.

    "My lord." Several Jin Yiwei clasped their fists together.

    "What happened?" Shen Cong looked at Gu Jiuling.

    Gu Jiuling stayed up all night, his face was tireless.  Seeing him looking, he slowly opened his lips and said: "A hour ago, someone reported to the official that the family of the household servant was killed by monsters. He also said that he saw a pair of scarlet cat eyes on the top of the eaves.  Mr. Song is still recovering from his wounds, and I ordered you to assist Jin Yiwei Zhen Fushi to investigate this case."

    Shen Cong heard the words, twitched his fingers to deduce it, and immediately narrowed his eyes.

    As expected, it was a cat ghost again.

    Following Gu Jiuling and the others, he immediately went to the mansion of the servant of the household department.

    Looking at Shen Cong's hurried back, Old Liu couldn't help but sighed.

    At the foot of the emperor in the imperial city, monsters dare to run amok and cause harm to the world.

    Although Jinyiwei guards strictly, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net.

    So much so that the people seem to be at peace, but have to live in fear.

    I don't know when it will be the head.

    Lao Liu sighed again, and returned home to start a busy day.

    The sky was turning white, but in front of the Household Minister's mansion, a group of people surrounded him.

    When Shen Cong and the others arrived, the people had already formed a large circle.  Several people pushed aside the crowd and walked inside.

    Just like that day when the country was waiting to be destroyed, when the blood-stained corpses were brought out one by one, the people stretched their necks to look in, pointed and whispered.

    The first few, with a piece of steaming white flour steamed buns in their arms, stared furtively at one corpse after another.

    Ignorance and ignorance.

    Gu Jiuling smiled.

    Shen Cong shook his head secretly.

    This is the pedantry of this age.

    In the lobby in the distance, a young man dressed in a flying fish gown, with an embroidered spring knife on his waist, and a black gauze hat is rubbing his chin, looking up at the front.

    On the high wall in front, a young girl in disheveled clothes was fixed on it by a wooden nail.  She was bitten all over with cuts and bruises, and the two blood holes between her eyebrows were extremely terrifying.  On the wooden nail, there is also a piece of cinnabar talisman.

    "My lord." Everyone in Shen Cong stepped forward and bowed to the young master.

    Fan An, that is, the son of the pacifier, turned his head, looked at the person who came, and waved his hand lazily: "There is no need to be polite. Who among you has seen this talisman?"

    When everyone heard the words, they immediately raised their eyes and looked together.

    "Master Hui, it's a soul-suppressing talisman." Shen Cong sized him up for a moment, then bowed and replied.

    "Soul Relief Talisman" Fan An raised his eyebrows.

    Shen Cong nodded, took a few steps forward to observe carefully, and then came to a conclusion: "This soul-suppressing talisman is not that soul-suppressing talisman."

    Ordinary soul-suppressing talisman, the things it suppresses are all souls.

    And this talisman, the thing it suppresses is Qi.

    "The murderer pasted the soul-suppressing talisman between the eyebrows of the servant of the household department, Qianjin, with the intention of sealing his last breath and refining it into a puppet." Before Shen Cong finished speaking, seeing Fan An reaching out to take off the talisman, he hurriedly stood in front of the corpse  , cupping his fists and bowing, "Your Excellency, you can't."

    "Why?" Fan An raised an eyebrow.

    "If you take off the talisman, the corpse will quickly ossify, and then mutate, becoming a zombie." Shen Cong lowered his eyes, explaining in an unassuming manner, "If you don't take off the talisman, the corpse will become a puppet within a day.  If you want to get rid of it, only the fire of the sun can do it."

    Since ancient times, yin and yang have been mutually restrained.

    This talisman has been turned into the most evil thing. If you want to melt it away, you can only do it with the fire of the most yang.

    "The sacred fire of Taoism has not appeared in the world for hundreds of years, how do you find it?" a guard in Jinyi asked puzzledly.

    "I have an old friend who is a member of the Taoist sect. Although he is a casual cultivator, he has inherited the fire of a Taoist sect." Shen Cong smiled slightly, "Tonight, I will invite him to come to Chang'an to get rid of this evil talisman.?

 Chapter 33 The cat ghost reappears, the imperial concubine is born prematurely (2)

    Hearing this, Fan An pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, today you will stay here with a few Jinyi guards to destroy the evil talismans. I am going to do an autopsy with you, so I will go first. If you are in danger, immediately sound the fireworks signal.  "

    "Here."

    At that time, Qin Zheng, who was investigating the scene inside, walked out slowly, just in time to hear the conversation between Shen Cong and Fan An, and after the latter took Jin Yiwei to the Captain's Mansion, he hurried forward and arched Shen Cong's elbow: "I said  Yun Zhe, which loose cultivator do you know, and tell me to come and listen to it, so that I can pay my respects."

    Shen Cong looked at the void, his gaze deepened slightly.

    "Daomen, Lu Huaichen."

    He slowly took a step forward, closed his eyes and twiddled the formula, a ray of spiritual light flew towards the void, and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in an instant.

    Thousands of miles away, in front of a waterfall in a certain valley.

    "Huh?" A young man who was meditating slowly opened his clear and gentle eyes, and looked towards the void ahead.

    A burst of golden light flickered in the void, and a line of words slowly emerged！！

    "Chang'an Zombies will use it in the future."

    This kid, there is always something to worry about him.

    I don't know anything and invite him to drink a jug of wine.

    The teleportation technique is definitely not good.

    The young master shook his head and let out a laugh. With a flick of his sleeve, the golden light disappeared instantly.

    He stretched, lazily got up, and snapped his fingers.

    The Taoist robe hanging on the branch in the distance flew towards him immediately, the young master jumped up, and when he landed again, the Taoist robe was already upright.

    "Come with the sword." The young master straightened the hosta, stretched out his hand towards the void, and slowly opened his lips.

    I saw a three-foot long sword flying through the air, and landed steadily in front of the young master with a soaring aura.

    The young master jumped onto the sword body in one step, and Yujian escaped into the sky, turning into a stream of light and flying towards Chang'an in the north.

    In the courtyard, Shen Cong stood quietly.

    Until a bright shimmer of light came from the void.

    Like a ray of stars, in an instant, like a star falling, it rushed to the ground here.

    A long sword slowly fell to the ground carrying a young man in a flying suit.

    The young master's blue hair is flying, and the jade hairpin on his head seems to be skewed a little bit, but it doesn't reduce the warmth between his brows.

    His posture of coming with a sword like this really looks a bit fairy-like.

    "Little friend Yunzhe, long time no see, don't come here without any harm." The young master put his sword back on the ground and bowed slightly to Shen Cong.

    Shen Cong bowed his head and saluted in return: "Senior Huai Chen, long time no see, don't come here without any problems. These guys are my friends."

    "I've met my seniors." Gu Jiuling and Qin Zheng bowed first, followed by several Jin Yiwei.

    That's right, the son in front of him is Lu Huaichen, the loose cultivator Shen Cong said.

    Although Lu Huaichen is a casual cultivator, he is a real powerhouse！now, his cultivation base has reached the peak, and he will be able to ascend to immortality and go to the upper realm soon.

    In the thousands of years of traveling in the mortal world, Lu Huaichen has seen the change of dynasties, and seen countless lives and deaths.

    He is out of the mundane world, but within the mundane world.

    It is said that the last emperor he saw was Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

    When Lu Huaichen met Zhu Yuanzhang at the beginning of the year, he talked with him about the world by cooking wine with green plums.  Speaking of rising, Lu Huaichen waved his big hand, and brought down a piece of calligraphy that hides the secret of Guozuo, and presented it to Zhu Yuanzhang, and immediately left on the cloud and fog.

    Unofficial history records that after Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty, he showed Liu Ji that painting.  After Liu Ji's deduction, he was silent for a while, and then answered the number calmly just now.

    The secrets of heaven must not be leaked.

    Therefore, even when the emperor died, he didn't know about Ming Guozuo.

    "It's all spiritual practice, so don't care about etiquette. Little friend Yunzhe, you asked me to come all the way today, what's the matter?" Lu Huaichen smiled slowly.

    Shen Cong had met Lu Huaichen several times many years ago.

    The latter can be regarded as half a master with more guidance on Shen Cong's cultivation.

    However, the two have always called themselves former and younger generations, and they are happy to be at ease.

    Concentrating his thoughts, Shen Cong bowed again, pointing to the corpse nailed to the wall: "The reason why I invited my senior all the way here is because of her."

    Lu Huaichen looked intently.

    The corpse was nailed to the top of the wall by mahogany wood. Although it was attached with the soul-suppressing talisman, the skin was blue and white, and the nails became sharp and long at some point, black as obsidian.

    The dead body becomes zombified and will become jumping zombified.

    At that time, the sky was dark, andThe head suddenly opened a pair of eyes without pupils, and looked towards the crowd with a dark look.

    The dark wind came from nowhere, and it blew up the black hair of the corpse, and also the talisman in front of it, revealing a face full of veins, which was extremely terrifying and gloomy in the morning and night.

    "The night is falling, jumping stiff will come out. Everyone, look around carefully, there may be some changes!" Lu Huaichen narrowed his eyes, slowly took out an ancient bronze gossip mirror from his waist, bit his finger and quickly wrote a talisman on the mirror  .

    "Order the heaven and the earth, set up an array to eliminate evil spirits, and hurry like a law!" Lu Huaichen clasped his palm on the ancient bronze mirror, and the ancient mirror suddenly glowed with golden light, and flew into the sky.

    In an instant, the ancient mirror released a powerful ray of light, which instantly turned into a large array of tens of feet, illuminating the entire night in an instant.

    Outside, He Qi, who was guarding secretly, couldn't help sighing when he saw the big Taoist formation.

    It takes him a long time to deduce the formation of such a powerful formation before he can get a little bit of insight.

    At that time, a strange flute sound suddenly cut through the sky and came from afar.

    The corpse suddenly began to struggle violently, and the sudden movement made the hearts of the Jinyiwei behind tense.

    Having lived for more than ten years, he has never cleaned up zombies.

    "Boom!"

    Just hearing a loud noise, the Void Taoist formation was smashed into pieces, and immediately a black shadow fell steadily on the eaves.

    Under the erratic firelight, Soi Ying's pale green cat pupils turned into a bloody red that was visible to the naked eye.

    A long, sharp meow sounded from the eaves.

    It was a gigantic black cat with extremely cold and terrifying eyes, as if possessed by a dead person.

    The sound of the flute changed suddenly.

    Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the black cat rushed towards the corpse.

    "Presumptuous!" Lu Huaichen had expected it a long time ago, squinting his eyes and stepping forward, he came to the corpse in an instant, and slapped the black cat with his backhand.

    The black cat is not a clumsy master, it turned around and ran towards Shen Cong.

    "Spread out!" Shen Cong felt a different kind of terrifying aura from the visitor, his eyes sharpened, and he immediately opened his lips and growled.

    The cat ghost king, the fifth rank of the second phase, has been practicing for seven hundred and eighty-nine years.

    However, the tenth year of the founding of today's dynasty is 1654 A.D. If extrapolated forward, this guy existed as early as the two Song Dynasties.

    The sound of the flute continued.

    "Heqi!" Shen Cong pulled out the jade-faced keel fan from his waist, and shouted loudly, and the voice immediately spread outside.

    He Qi, who was about to come in outside, immediately understood when he heard the words, twirled the formula and urged his body, and rushed to the place where the sound of the flute came from with lightning speed.

    "Little friend Yunzhe, you guys pay attention to the jumping stiffness, I will deal with it!" Lu Huaichen stretched out his hand towards the sky, and shouted, "Sword come! ?

 Chapter 34 The cat ghost reappears, the imperial concubine is born prematurely (3)

    A long sword came through the air and landed firmly in Lu Huaichen's hands.

    Lu Huaichen grabbed the long sword, bit his fingers and wiped the blade.

    "Borrowing the law of heaven and earth, hurry like a law!"

    When he let out a low shout, the blade of the sword exploded, and the terrifying pressure of the soul spread from the sword owner.

    The Cat Ghost King seemed to be intimidated, and his originally lazy eyes gradually became a little more vigilant.

    "Evil animal, look at the sword!"

    After Lu Huaichen fought with the cat ghost king, Shen Cong never stayed idle.

    The jumping zombie broke free from the talisman and the wooden nail, and pupils appeared in his eyes after landing. Following the strange change of the sound of the flute, he jumped towards several people like an arrow off the string.

    "Scatter, ink fountain!" Shen Cong froze the jump in place with a slap, and shouted loudly.

    Gu Jiuling quickly threw out the chicken blood and the ink fountain line in the glutinous rice.

    Several Jin Yiwei had quick eyes and quick hands, jumped up and grabbed them, entangled several times, and then each landed firmly on one side.

    The ink thread was pulled into a net by several of them.

    Tiao Zong broke through Shen Cong's formation and approached Shen Cong.

    Shen Cong raised the jade-faced keel fan, and swung it out again！only to see a gust of wind suddenly rise up, and beat the jumping zombie to the wooden pillar not far away.  Jumping stiff and falling to the ground, without feeling any pain, a carp straightened up and rushed towards Shen Cong again.

    Putting away the folding fan and stepping out, Shen Cong rode the golden halo straight to the ink fountain line.

    "The door of Taoism is the root of all qi. The decree of the celestial master is to become a god from the ground! Facing soldiers and fighting in battle, borrow the Taoist law！an order! Be as urgent as a law!" Shen Cong formed a seal with both hands, and chanted the Taoist mantra.

    These few sentences were taught to him by senior Lu Huaichen back then, but fortunately he never forgot them, and now they have been integrated into his own spells, and they come in handy.

    With the blessing of the senior's Daohuo, it is more than enough to deal with this jumping zombie that has just formed.

    Tiao Zhifei rushed forward and touched the ink fountain line in an instant.

    Several Jin Yiwei changed their shapes at the same time, entangled it in an instant.

    Tiaozhi screamed in pain, fell to the ground, rolled back and forth, intending to break free from the ink fountain line.

    ? At that time, Lu Huaichen crushed the cat ghost king with a strong body. When it was panting, he took out a talisman from the Qiankun pouch on his waist and threw it at Shen Cong.

    "Little friend Yunzhe, this is the fire of my Taoist sect, catch it!"

    Shen Cong jumped up and took it with his hand. After landing firmly on the ground, he quickly activated the talisman and threw it towards the jumping zombie.

    The moment the talisman touched and jumped stiff, the raging flames suddenly rose from the ground.

    The scorching red flames rushed towards the face like waves, almost burning the black gauze hat of the closest Jinyiwei.

    "This flame is extraordinary, and it contains the spirit of righteousness. If it has the root of fire spirit, it will be able to comprehend inner meaning." Qin Zheng clicked his tongue and sighed.

    The moment Lu Huaichen appeared just now, he felt the latter's righteousness.

    This kind of loose fairy should be the real fairy who has entered the mortal world but can't melt into the mortal world, and is intoxicated by luxury and gold.

    As for those charlatans who eat and drink

    Qin Zheng thought silently, he used to beat each other when he saw each other.

    It will be the same in the future.

    Come out to bluff and cheat, cheat food, and cheat other people's money - in this world, gold and silver are the pillars of a family. If you are cheated, you will not let people die on the street.

    "This is the true fire of Taoist samadhi, which has existed since ancient times. It is the fire in the palm of the ancestors of Taoism, and it is one of the five sacred fires of Taoism." Shen Cong looked at the jumping dead that was quickly burned to ashes, his eyes were as bright as the fire.

    He will definitely slay demons and eliminate demons, and prove the way to be a fairy.

    On this side, Lu Huaichen made another sword strike, slashing the cat ghost king's abdomen.

    The gurgling thick blood landed on the ground, and it froze in an instant.

    If it is not alive, it is the appearance of living and dead.

    Lu Huaichen squinted his eyes, raised the three-foot long sword in his hand, and wanted to cut it down again.

    At that moment, the sound of the flute stopped abruptly.

    The scarlet cat pupils of the Cat Ghost King suddenly receded and turned back to the original pale green.  It grinned at Lu Huaichen, then turned into a cloud of green smoke and dispersed.

    Lu Huaichen stood still, put away his long sword and turned his head, looking around at everyone.

    Seeing that the few people were safe and sound, he settled down.

    "Senior, why didn't you drive and kill that monster?" Qin Zheng asked in confusion.

    "Before the time comes, don't kill randomly." Lu Huaichen shook his head.

    Qin Zheng: "" It turns out that the senior is just like those old bones of the Taoist school, a master who sticks to the rules.

    Lu Huaichen didn't care,Looking at Shen Cong, he laughed aloud: "Little friend Yunzhe, crouching tiger, hidden dragon by his side. The little friend outside is very talented, and he has a close relationship with little friend Yunzhe. But this one！"

    He looked at the silent Gu Jiuling and frowned slightly.

    This little friend has a yin and a yang, and he seems to be a

    Weird, weird.

    "Senior praises you. This junior tries his best to practice, but his goal is to follow the senior." Shen Cong cupped his fists and bowed.

    Indeed.

    Lu Huaichen's cultivation has returned to basics, and his current goal is to catch up with and surpass Lu Huaichen.

    Concentrating on that suspicious gaze, Lu Huaichen smiled loudly: "Little friend Yunzhe has a unique destiny, and he will definitely surpass my old bones in the future."

    "Senior joked, senior is obviously still young." Qin Zheng also laughed.

    Lu Huaichen waved his hand: "Hey, I'm already a thousand-year-old bone."

    He looked at the sky, and clasped his fists at Shen Cong and the others: "Several, we will meet again someday."

    After saying that, he took a step forward, and his figure disappeared in place immediately.

    The wind passes by and disappears, this is the teleportation technique of the moment.

    In this room, He Qi was holding a long sword, confronting the black-robed young man wearing a ghost mask.

    "The boy is good at cultivation, would you like to be my slave?" The ghost-faced black robe played with the black flute in his hand, without any fear, and his voice was lazy, "I promise you money, power, fame and fortune, countless."

    "He Qi will serve His Highness unswervingly until death." He Qi narrowed his eyes slowly, and suddenly charged towards the ghost-faced black robe.

    "You don't have to drink a toast." The ghost-faced black robe sneered, and jumped to another eaves.

    Under the long moon, this young man held a flute in his hand and played a weird and eerie flute.

    There were treacherous changes in all directions, and countless cat ghosts with scarlet eyes climbed up to the eaves along the wooden pillars, arched their backs high, and rushed towards He Qi in unison.

    Among them, there is a cat ghost with a huge body, which is impressively among the kings.  Instigated by the sound of the flute, he never pounced on He Qi, but walked to the side of the ghost-faced black robe, obediently rubbing against the latter.

    Phase B monster?

    Crane Qi's eyes changed, but he had no time to think about other things. He turned around and flipped his shuriken, and hit the cat ghosts swarming.

    There were so many cat ghosts, like moths to a flame！one group was killed, and soon another group came, biting at He Qi at a faster speed.

    At that time, a long sword came through the air.

    The astonishing sword intent scattered in the night, alarming the ghost-faced black robe.

    The latter slowly stopped playing the flute and looked up.

    I saw a Taoist robe standing in the sky, the young master's clothes were flying, and his eyes were clear and warm.

    "Chang'an never sleeps at night, under the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are monsters and ghosts, don't be presumptuous!" Lu Huaichen slowly opened his lips, his voice was clear and loud, as if a god and man had descended into the world.

 Chapter 35 The cat ghost reappears, the imperial concubine is born prematurely (4)

    "At the Son of Heaven's feet?" The ghost-faced black robe smirked, with lazy eyes, "There is no dragon vein at the Son of Heaven's feet. Even if you kill all the people in this city overnight, why don't you bear me?"

    Lu Huaichen's eyes sharpened, and he raised his sword and stabbed at the ghost-faced black robe.

    All of a sudden, his heart skipped a beat and he stopped in his tracks.

    At that time, the tip of the sword had already reached the ghost-faced black robe, and was about to pierce his cheek by less than an inch.

    The sharp sword energy rushed towards the face, shaking the cloak of the person pointed at by the sword point.

    The ghost-faced black robe stretched out his hand to clamp the blade of the sword, moved a little to the side, and said with a slight smile: "Lu Sanxian, can't use your strength anymore? Let me guess, is it because he doesn't want to kill me cruelly, or！"

    He slowly approached Lu Huaichen's ear, with a smile in his eyes, but did not reach his eyes, "Because you made an oath to abide by the teacher's training, if you violate this word, you will be punished, and you have suffered backlash?"

    Lu Huaichen's eyes suddenly changed.

    He suddenly took a big step back, rubbing his heart and gasping for breath.

    He Qi killed all the cat ghosts in all directions, and after hearing what the ghost-faced black robe said, he immediately raised his eyes to look at Lu Huaichen.  Seeing his pale cheeks and the hand covering his heart, He Qi subconsciously frowned.

    Taoism has always followed the negative way - to be in harmony with the light, to know the white and keep the black.

    If the senior teacher's discipleship is really like this, then if he starts killing today, he will definitely suffer backlash.

    "Senior, I will capture this son with my own hands, and please stop my hand." He Qi held his sword and bowed to Lu Huaichen from afar.

    Lu Huaichen hesitated for a moment, then nodded in response: "Little friend, I'm sorry."

    So he jumped up and turned into a streamer and left.

    "It's boring." The ghost-faced black robe attracted the cat ghost king, stroked its soft fur, and the palms of his hands were black, and healed the wound on the cat's fur in a short time.

    On this side, He Qi raised his long sword, stepped forward, and quickly approached the ghost-faced black robe.

    "Grandpa is tired today, so I will play with you some other day." The ghost-faced black robe laughed, turned the flute in his hand, and disappeared into green smoke together with the black cat.

    A yellowed talisman floated downwards in a whirl.

    He Qi turned his wrist, and the tip of his sword firmly caught the talisman.

    He took it off and looked it over carefully, as if he remembered something, his face became a little heavy.

    Everyone cleaned up the courtyard and was about to go to the Captain's Mansion when a black shadow suddenly fell in front of them.

    "Your Highness." He Qi put away his long sword, cupped his fists and bowed to Shen Cong in front of him, and bowed his head.

    "There is no need to be too polite." Shen Cong waved his hand, "Have you caught it?"

    "Return to Your Highness, this subordinate is incompetent." He Qi shook his head and bowed again. After Daoming just happened, he handed over the yellowed talisman at the same time, "This is left by the flute player."

    Shen Cong took the talisman, looking at the things drawn on it, he always felt familiar.

    "He Qi, do you recognize him?" He asked again.

    "This subordinate has some guesses in his mind, so he will investigate in the near future. After verification, he will report to His Highness." He Qi lowered his eyes.

    "Okay. Let's put aside the case of human skin for the time being, and find out the origin of this talisman first." Shen Cong nodded, and handed over the talisman.

    This talisman is an important clue to the cat ghost case, and it is also a deliberate provocation by the flute player.

    Provocation against Jin Yiwei.

    If the origin of the talisman is found out, there will be a breakthrough in the cat ghost case.

    "Here." He Qi took the talisman, turned his head a few times and jumped, and his figure disappeared into the long night.

    "Yun Zhe, you shadow guard, you have good skills." Qin Zheng put Shen Cong on the shoulder, raised his eyebrows and teased, "It seems to be much taller than you."

    Shen Cong calmly pushed his hand away: "Go to the eaves to clean up the corpses, and then go to the Captain's Mansion to report the case."

    Qin Zheng's face suddenly collapsed.

    He wants to see the girl on the painting boat, he wants to go to the wine shop and get drunk - he will take a rest tomorrow.

    Complaining in his heart, Qin Zheng still honestly followed Shen Cong, Gu Jiuling and the others to clean up the cat ghost corpses on the eaves, and went to the Duwei Mansion to report the case together.

    In the Library Pavilion of Duwei Mansion.

    Fan An was looking through volumes of cat ghost cases, and then he went to Beizhen Fusi Demon Records, and finally found out about cat ghosts.

    "In Chang'an in the ancient Sui Dynasty, there was a lady who heard the raccoon slave eating in the middle of the night, and her stomach hurt like biting.

    Closing the demon record and returning it to its original position, Fan An slowly rubbed his chin, thoughtfully.

    "My lord." At that moment, a voice came from outside.

    "Come in." Fan An picked up the teacup, took a sip, and opened his lips lightly.

    Shen Cong walked in, handed over a kit, bowed his head and bowed: "The cat killed today??, all in it.  "

    Then began to report the case.

    After listening, Fan An's eyes deepened: "You said, the monster of Phase B?"

    "Prince Yi, the fifth grade, practiced in seven hundred and eighty-nine years. Born in the Tang Dynasty, it still exists today." Shen Cong nodded.

    Fan An frowned.

    With their current skills, it's not like anyone can subdue such monsters.

    Even if it is the Commander, it will take a lot of effort to subdue it.

    is a difficult master.

    "Shen Cong, my lord ordered you to deploy Jin Yiwei to catch monsters in all directions in Chang'an. If you can't capture the king, you will kill some kitten ghosts." Fan An said suddenly.

    "Here." Shen Cong nodded and walked away.

    It was only after walking out of the Library Pavilion that there was a strange movement from the direction of the palace.

    The alarm bell rang, and someone broke into the palace at night.

    Could it be, another assassin?

    Shen Cong's eyes sharpened, he quickly stepped out, and took the golden halo to the palace.

    At that time, the imperial guards from the previous night rushed into the palace with lightning speed, wrapping the Penglai Palace layer by layer.

    In the main hall, screams and screams resounded throughout the world.

    Outside the main hall, Shen Chao tightly covered his lips, his eyes were as red as white rabbits.

    Just now, something evil ran into the palace of the concubine mother, awakened the concubine who was sleeping, and moved her fetus.

    Emperor Jing Yuan rushed to hear the news and spread the word to the entire Tai Hospital.

    The imperial physicians checked the pulse, and they all came to a conclusion.

    Concubine Mu Gui was frightened and was about to give birth prematurely.

    The fetus in this womb is only six months old, even if it is born, it may not grow up.

    Emperor Jing Yuan's complexion was as black as thick ink, and the veins on his forehead were visible to the naked eye.

    "Li Delu!"

    Hearing Emperor Jing Yuan shouting his full name with suppressed anger, Eunuch Li's heart trembled, he ran over hastily, nodded and said, "Long Live Lord."

    "Quickly pass Jin Yiwei into the palace!"

    Eunuch Li quietly ran away in a cold sweat.

    Song Cheng dragged his sick body into the palace again.

    He caught a glimpse of Shen Cong who was using the teleportation technique from a distance, coughed and said, "Shen Cong, come with me."

    Shen Cong nodded, followed behind Song Cheng, and walked towards Penglai Hall.

    A group of guards in Jinyi came to the front of Penglai Hall, and they smelled a rush of blood at the same time.

    Concubine Mu Gui gave birth prematurely, so there might be something wrong.

    Song Cheng frowned.

    "My minister has seen the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." Song Cheng bowed his head with the guard in brocade.

    "Exemption. Song Cheng, you may be able to tell where the monster broke into the Penglai Palace at night and disturbed the noble concubine's sleep?" Emperor Jing Yuan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be too polite, and then opened his lips and asked.

    Song Cheng took three or two steps forward, twitched his fingers to deduce it, and his gaze changed.

    It's the cat ghost king

 Main Text Chapter 36

    "Back to the emperor, the monster who broke into the Penglai Palace at night is the cat ghost king." Song Cheng hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth about the result of the deduction.

    However, the cat ghost king is a monster of the second phase, but he has not transformed into a human form, which is strange.

    When Emperor Jing Yuan heard this, his brows were furrowed, and he was about to ask something more, when there was a sudden commotion in the Penglai Hall.

    "My lady! My lady!"

    "Quick, hurry up and get the century-old ginseng from the imperial physician, and give it to your mother!"

    "Your Majesty, wake up, the little Highness is just short of coming out!"

    "" ""

    When the corner of this side became quiet, the voices of people in the Penglai Hall floated out through the heavy guards.

    Shen Chao's heart suddenly tightened, and the feeling of panic and bewilderment spread rapidly in his heart.

    Mother Concubine

    "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not well!" Wen Po Liu Nanny ran out in a panic, knelt on the ground with blood on her hands and kowtowed, crying, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is suffering from dystocia and bleeding!"

    Emperor Jing Yuan was startled.

    Dystocia blood collapse

    Hearing these four words, he subconsciously remembered that scene in his mind.

    It was also such a late night.

    His first wife died in childbirth.

    When Shen Chao heard Mammy's words, his body shook for a while, and he felt thunderbolt.

    She couldn't stand anymore, and ran straight into the Penglai Palace.

    Emperor Jing Yuan came back to his senses, looked at Shen Chao's back, and breathed heavily.  He waved back the Forbidden Forest Army and walked quickly inside.

    Shen Cong watched the back of Emperor Jing Yuan disappearing little by little, and an imperceptible hesitation flashed in his eyes.

    I heard that Concubine Mu and the Queen Mother are nine times alike.

    Is the emperor's father favoring Concubine Mu, or

    In the hall.

    The whole room was full of blood and blood, and Shen Chao seemed to have never heard of it. He threw himself on the edge of the bed, and tremblingly grabbed the cold hand of the woman on the bed.

    "Mother Concubine, Mother Concubine！" Shen Chao's eyes were full, and when he saw the woman's bloodless face, he couldn't help rolling down, "Chao Chao is coming, Mother Concubine, open your eyes and look  Look at Chao Chao！"

    "Chao Chao" The eyes of the woman on the bed moved, her wandering eyes gradually focused, and she looked at Shen Chao, "My brother is not blessed, in the future Chao Chao seems to be alone."

    She smiled, smiled, and a line of tears fell from the corner of her eyes.

    Shen Chao bit his lips tightly, and also pulled out a smile: "Mother and concubine was joking, Chao Chao also has father, brother prince, and, and"

    "Your Majesty." Concubine Mu suddenly looked behind Shen Chao.

    Shen looked sideways, caught a glimpse of a pair of bright yellow soap locust boots, and gave in with lowered eyelashes.

    Emperor Jing Yuan squatted down slowly, and stroked Concubine Mu's sweaty temples: "I asked the imperial physician to continue your life. As for the child, I will treat you more kindly in the future."

    "Your Majesty, the courtiers and concubines are exhausted, so there is no need to spend any more money." Concubine Mu Gui shook her head, her voice was weak but gentle, "Leave the money, together with the dowry of the courtiers and concubines, to the common people, and the cold  Xinjiangcough coughthe garrison！￣

    Emperor Jing Yuan's heart ached.

    Even though her life is exhausted, she is still the same as her, willing to use her wealth to help the people of the Celestial Dynasty to garrison troops.

    "Mr. Wan, I understand." Emperor Jing Yuan grabbed Concubine Mu's increasingly cold hand, looked at her pupils that had begun to slacken again, and nodded heavily.

    "Your Majestythe name of my concubineisMu Wanrong！！" Concubine Mu Gui laughed again, looked at the daze in Emperor Jing Yuan's eyes, and then slowly closed her beautiful eyes.

    This time, she didn't have the strength to open her eyes to look at the emperor she had served for more than ten years.

    "Mother Concubine!" Shen Chao looked at Concubine Mu Gui's hanging hand in the palm of Emperor Jing Yuan, and suddenly suffocated.

    A line of tears rolled down, and Shen Chao seemed to be drained of strength, and instantly slumped on the ground.

    The lights in the Penglai Palace flickered on and off, and I don't know whose heart was ups and downs, and then returned to silence.

    The heavy rain came suddenly, and the heavy and sultry smell seemed to dilute the sadness here.

    According to historical records, in 1654 A.D., the 10th year of Jingyuan in the Tian Dynasty, on the ninth day of late August, Concubine Mu Guifei was frightened by a cat ghost, and died of dystocia and blood collapse.

    The next day, when the death bell rang, Emperor Jingyuan announced to the world that she was posthumously named Emperor Jingde and Noble Concubine, allowing her to be buried in a later ceremony.

    ?On the third day of the first ten days of September, Shen Cong, King of Qin, led Jin Yiwei to burn incense to open the way for the imperial concubine.

    On the fourth day of the first ten days of September, the imperial concubine was buried in Shengling.

    ? On the fifth day of the first ten days of September, Prince Shen YuGo back to the temple to pray for blessings, and bring the prince and concubine to pay homage to the imperial concubine.

    On this day, Shen Ting arrived at Shengling after leaving Yinshi.

    The sky is slightly drunk, and it is drizzling.

    ?It has gradually entered autumn, and the morning rain soaked in the coolness.

    When Shen Ting saw Shen Chao wearing sackcloth and kneeling in front of the tomb of the imperial concubine from afar, she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.

    "Jiaojiao." Handing the umbrella to Shen Xiaoshi, Shen Xuan held up another oil-paper umbrella, stepped forward, and covered the little girl's head.

    Shen Chao looked sideways slowly, his eyes were bloodshot.

    "Brother Prince, there is no need to hold an umbrella for Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao is not a child's family." Shen Chao smiled slightly.

    Jiaojiao is Shen Chao's small character. Over the years, except for Concubine Mu calling her once in a while, only Shen Ting always remembers her.

    "Silly girl." Shen Ting shook her head, and bowed three times to the tombstone while holding an umbrella.

    Shen Xiaoshi stepped forward and bowed his head three times.

    The imperial concubine has taken care of Shen Ting for many years, and Shen Ting has long regarded her as her biological mother.

    His husband and wife bowed three times today, and the imperial concubine should receive this gift.

    "Jiaojiao, get up quickly, the ground is cold. If your knee hurts, don't call your brother to find a doctor for you." Shen Yu said, reaching out her hand to pull Shen Chao up.

    Shen Chao knelt on the ground, motionless.

    "Brother Prince, let Chao Chao accompany Mother and Concubine through the first seven days." Shen Chao lowered his eyes.

    This silly girl will suffer from typhoid fever in the future.

    Shen Ting was helpless.

    He was about to say something more, when a soldier ran over in a panic, bowed to Shen Yu, and said anxiously, "Your Highness, the Turks led a hundred and fifty thousand troops to attack the northern border, and the Great Wall garrison has resisted for three days.  Manpower, food and grass are all lost. The marshal ordered the soldiers to rush to send a secret report, and arrived in Chang'an this morning, and asked the imperial court to allocate troops and horses to help the northern border! The emperor is looking for His Highness, and went to discuss the issue of sending troops."

    Hearing this, Shen Cong's eyes flickered.

    He looked at Shen Chao, immediately placed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand carefully by the latter's side, immediately got up, told Shen Xiaoshi a few words, then put on the straw hat, and followed the soldier into the palace.

    Shen Xiaoshi glanced at Shen Chao worriedly, then turned around and left quickly.

    For a while, Shen Chao was the only one left in Shengling.

    Shen Chao stood up slowly, and bowed in the direction of the palace.

    Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of road, cloud and moon.

    ? The desert flags are fluttering, and the setting sun is not rewarded, but the sound of horse racing is heard.

    Brother Prince, Chao Chao wishes you to be invincible and return in triumph.

    According to the History of the Celestial Dynasty, in the tenth year of the Jingyuan period of the Celestial Dynasty, on the tenth day of the first ten days of September, the Crown Prince of the Celestial Dynasty, Shen Ting, led 200,000 cavalry, went north to the Great Wall to aid the soldiers in northern Xinjiang.

    On this day, the people of Chang'an City watched as Shen Xuan mobilized troops to go out.

    On the city wall, looking at Shen Xuan's red forehead flying far away, Shen Cong's blood boiled inexplicably.  </div&gt

 Main Text Chapter 37 Dedication to Filial Piety, Turkic Defeat (1)

    On the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times.

    There is the place where men and boys fight for the country, and it is also the destination of those soldiers.

    Brother Huang, I wish you to be invincible and return triumphantly.

    He turned his head and left, continuing to investigate the cat ghost case.

    Little did he know that Gu Jiuling beside him, after watching the army go north, had an imperceptible worry in his cold eyes.

    If he remembered correctly, the general in Northern Xinjiang seemed to be an old friend of his father.

    When they returned to Chang'an from northern Xinjiang, there was not much food and grass there.

    I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will arrive in time with provisions and reinforcements.

    ? At that time, in Changping Pass in northern Xinjiang.

    The sky is cloudy and overcast.

    On the Great Wall, red flags flying around Mobian.  In the center of the banner, the word "Day" stands out.

    A group of soldiers in battle armor held longbows and stared at the Turkic army approaching the city with stern eyes.

    Their armor was stained with blood, and all of them were unkempt, which showed how brutal a fight they had experienced not long ago.

    On the watchtower, stood a young man dressed in a green shirt and wrapped in a scarf.  He was shaking a feather fan, and the dark Turkic army was reflected in his warm eyes.

    "Light the fire, shoot the arrow." At a certain moment, the young master slowly raised his hand, waved it forward, and gently parted his thin lips.

    A horn blew heavily next to it.

    So with one order, all arrows were fired.

    The battle of defending the city lasted for seven days and seven nights, and the Turkic army was full of food and grass. Because of the news from the spies that the soldiers, horses, and grass in the northern border of the Celestial Dynasty were about to run out, they prepared to fight to the death.

    Therefore, the Turkic general Abiza was dispatched with all his strength, planning to storm Changping Pass.

    Unexpectedly, the opponent's 100,000 arrows rained suddenly - the arrows rained with fire, and directly broke into the Turkic camp, killing them by surprise.

    A Bi, who has experienced many battles, was stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted. He felt that the heaven might have help, so he shouted loudly: "Retreat ten miles!"

    The Turkic soldiers who were in a mess found the backbone, and ran back one after another regardless of the compatriots who had been shot by the rockets.

    Seeing the Turkic withdrawal, the officers and men of the Great Wall immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and their intuition was very satisfying.

    Those barbarians who were arrogant and domineering a few days ago, now retreating with their heads full of heads, finally made them laugh hard.

    "Thank you, Mr. Feng Xiao, for bringing bamboo arrows to help my soldiers on the Great Wall and repel the Turkic barbarians!" An old general with gray temples walked up to the side of the young prince and clasped his fists to him.

    "Marshal does not need to perform this ceremony." The young man waved a feather fan and smiled slightly.

    It turned out that the young master's name was Su Bai, and he was a disciple of a great Confucianist in the former dynasty.

    Su Bai, courtesy name Fengxiao, is known as the Layman of Le'an in Jianghu.  He once paid homage to the Ming court as the number one scholar, and wanted to show his grand plans and revitalize the Central Plains.

    Unexpectedly, the late Ming Dynasty was fatuous and immoral, and Su Bai's ambitions were squeezed out by his colleagues, and even almost relegated.  Feeling disheartened, Su Bai dismissed from office and left the court, and has since lived in seclusion in the mountains and rivers.

    However, the reputation of this hermit spread throughout the Central Plains, and because of this, Su Bai was recognized as one of the Five Heroes of the Central Plains.

    This time he came to Changping Pass to help the Great Wall garrison and repel the Turks.

    Knowing that the troops stationed at the Great Wall ran out of food, Su Bai spent all his wealth to provide food for the troops. He sent a large amount of bamboo from Sichuan to cut long arrows to supply the troops on the Great Wall.

    Marshal, that is, the old general, heard the name of Su Bai's Five Heroes, so he invited him into the barracks and asked him about a good plan to break the army.

    So there is the current scene.

    "The Turkic general Abiza went south to invade the Celestial Dynasty. He has never suffered such humiliation. He is dissatisfied and will attack the Great Wall again at night. Marshal, please be careful." Su Bai bowed his head to the old general.

    Xu Lao, that is, the old general nodded, and was about to say something to the soldiers next to him, when the sound of fireworks and firecrackers came from outside the Great Wall.

    Everyone heard the reputation and looked forward.

    "Look, what are those barbarian soldiers doing?"

    "It seems to be lighting a fire."

    "What's that next to them? It's too far away to see."

    "I'll find out when I get the foreign mirror."

    "" ""

    The young soldier quickly ran down the city wall, fetched a cylinder with a lens on it, went up the wall again, reached the corner of his eye, and looked out carefully.

    "What the hell are you doing?" Someone asked him curiously.

    "This is a Persian mirror, a foreign gadget from the West. My father bought it for me through a relationship. I heard that high-end people like this kind of novelty foreign gadget." That year,The soldier grinned proudly.

    "Quickly tell me, what did you see?" Another soldier poked his head over and asked curiously.

    "Don't worry, let me take a look." He looked at that side carefully, and suddenly his body trembled and his hands trembled, and the Persian mirror fell to the ground, rolling in a circle, and stopped firmly in Su  White's feet.

    The young soldier pointed to the north, his face was pale, as if he had been frightened by something.

    Thoughtful, Su Bai squatted down to pick up the Persian mirror, and looked towards the northern Turks like a soldier.

    The Turks set up camp very close to the Great Wall. They set up pots to boil water, and each of them held up an altar to drink.

    Looking to the side, several Turkic soldiers gathered around a wooden frame.  A woman in ragged clothes from the Central Plains was tied to the wooden frame！Turkic people who lived in the north, all of whom had eagle eyes and straight noses, were somewhat similar to Persians.  In this skin, it is best to distinguish between Central Plains people and barbarians.

    With their knives in hand, they cut off the head and limbs of the woman in the Central Plains. With one in hand, they swaggered towards the boiling iron pot, pulled out the hair roughly, and threw it directly into it.

    There are many Turkic soldiers, so the Central Plains woman who was slaughtered was naturally not this one.

    There are dozens of hundreds of wooden frames next to them, and each wooden frame helps the old and weak, women and children, and even children of three or two years old.

    With grim smiles, the group of soldiers chopped up their bodies and cooked them all.

    The Turkic soldier who cut off the child's head actually sucked the brain of the child with blood.

    Blood splattered all around, everywhere.

    This group ofbeasts.

    The fists under Su Bai's sleeves were clenched quietly.

    With a heartbeat, he suddenly put down the Persian mirror, covered his fists and coughed violently.

    Xu Lao hurriedly handed over a clean handkerchief.

    Su Bai thanked and took it, and put it on his lips.

    When he let go again, there was a shocking bright red on the veil.

    "Mr. Feng Xiao, you！" Xu Lao looked at the bloodstain and couldn't help but startled.

    "Old and old illnesses, it's okay." Su Bai put away the veil suddenly, and looked north again, his warm eyes unexpectedly showed a bit of clearly visible anger.

    In the past five years, when China was in disorder, the barbarians almost slaughtered the blood of the Han people.

    Currently, the Turks are going south, and the soldiers are cooking talismans of living people in the Central Plains in front of the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty.

    Really good, good!

    Su Bai suddenly suppressed his anger, and a smile appeared on his lips.

    "Marshal, I have a plan, I wonder if the Marshal is willing to adopt it?" He fixedly looked at Mr. Xu.

    "It's the great fortune of this old man's life to be able to follow Mr. Xiao's plan." Mr. Xu stroked his white beard, nodded and smiled.

 Main Text Chapter 38 Dedication to Filial Piety, Turkic Defeat (2)

    "But I heard the details." After Xu Lao said, he waited for Su Bai's next words.

    Su Bai leaned closer and whispered a few words in Elder Xu's ear.

    Immediately retreated three steps, bowed his head and bowed to Mr. Xu: "Thank you Marshal, I would like to accept the plan of the grassroots."

    Hearing Su Bai's words, Mr. Xu was thoughtful, and then smiled loudly: "Mr. is indeed the conspirator of the Five Heroes of the Central Plains, and his reputation is not in vain."

    Seeing him looking towards the far north again, he couldn't help asking: "Mr. Feng Xiao, what kind of scene do you see that makes you linger so much?"

    Returning the Persian mirror to the young soldier who came back to his senses, clutching his lips and wanting to vomit, and patted him on the shoulder, Su Bai turned his head and opened his lips gently: "Those women from the Central Plains who were captured in the past were cut off their limbs,  They are cooked and killed in an iron pot. The brains of young children are cut off and their marrow is eaten. As for their bodies, they are roasted over charcoal fire and prepared as food and grass."

    Hearing this, the complexions of all the people present changed, and immediately revealed expressions of anger.

    Even Mr. Xu, who has always been unable to express his emotions and anger in words, turned his eyes cold and stern when he heard the words.

    Damn it, they're all animals!

    There were quite a few young recruits who could barely control their hands and feet！if they hadn't been stopped by a group of veterans, they might have rushed through the city wall and broke into the Turkic barracks to kill them.

    Such things do not seem to be personal.

    Many years ago, it was a disgrace to the Han people to mess around with China.

    Today there is such a thing, it really makes them hard to breathe.

    A group of barbarians!

    "The Turkic soldiers set up camp near the Great Wall. Cooking and killing the captives in front of us is nothing but aggressive tactics. Please don't act rashly." Coughing a few more times, Su Bai held his feather fan and bowed to the soldiers.

    "What does Mr. Feng Xiao mean by this? Didn't he tell me to wait in vain to watch the people of the Celestial Dynasty bury him in the mouth of a barbarian?" The young soldier holding the Persian mirror's eyes were red with anger.

    All the soldiers responded with righteous indignation.

    Looking at the young soldiers in front of him, the warmth in Su Bai's eyes remained unchanged, and he only said shallowly: "What do you think? Now open the Changping Pass, charge into the battle, fall into the trap of the Turks, and destroy the entire army. Tell the Turks to cross the Great Wall and go south."  Violate my celestial kingdom?"

    Those enthusiastic recruits were startled when they heard the words, and then slowly calmed down.

    "Mr. Feng Xiao, what do you mean by this?" A general next to Mr. Xu asked.

    "Just now I used a Persian mirror to visit the Turkic military camp, and found something strange in it." Su Bai shook his feather fan and said eloquently.

    It turned out that when he looked at the northern Turks just now, he saw that the iron horse had not removed its armor, and the soldiers had not let go of their swords.  Although they seem to be drinking and eating meat recklessly, they are all ready to go.

    In addition, there is no soldier guarding the four sides of the commander's barracks.

    ?The commander's barracks is an important place in the army, no matter whether the commander is inside or not, there will be heavy guards - now there is no soldier in the commander's barracks, this is abnormal.

    Cooking human flesh is just a cover.

    Their real intention was to deliberately provoke the garrison of the Great Wall, these young recruits, so that they would rush out of the Great Wall to bloody the Turkic barracks.

    However, if the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty really go, they may never come back.

    At that time, it will be unknown who will be the knife and who will be the fish.

    "According to the plan tonight. Everyone obeys the order, and anyone who disobeys will be punished with military law!" Xu Lao was silent for a moment, and then spoke in a deep voice.

    "Here!"

    On the observation deck, there was a loud and orderly echo.

    "Marshal, when will the prince's reinforcements arrive?" After getting off the lookout, Su Bai bowed to Old Xu.

    "Prince Flying Eagle sent a message, saying that at midnight tonight, the reinforcements will arrive at the Great Wall and join our army." Mr. Xu opened his lips, recalling the contents of the secret letter he had just received.

    Su Bai nodded: "Tonight, our army will also cook sheep and slaughter cattle, and reward the army with bells, drums and music."

    Xu Lao hesitated for a moment, but nodded in response.

    In this compartment, the Turkic army camp, inside the commander's tent.

    Ah Biza was sucking in the brains of a child while observing the map.

    "General, no soldiers from the Great Wall area ran out of Changping Pass to kill our army." A soldier walked in outside, put his hand on his heart, and bowed his head respectfully to Ah Biza.

    Hearing this, Ah Bi frowned.

    The spies reported that there were only a few veterans in the Great Wall garrison, and there was still that Xu old man who was able to control the field.

    The rest are all new recruits who are not afraid of tigers.

    Logically speaking, after they saw the provocation of the Turkic army, they would definitely run out of the Great Wall out of rage, regardless of the situation.come and attack his camp.

    At that time, when the group of soldiers from the Celestial Dynasty broke into the net, he could wipe them all out, break through the Changping Pass immediately, and occupy the Great Wall of the Northern Xinjiang of the Celestial Dynasty.

    Just, how could it be so peaceful?

    Ah Bi felt something was wrong, put down his childish head that was about to be gnawed clean, and looked at the soldiers in front, his eagle eyes were full of majesty and violence.

    "Go, and then send spies to investigate the enemy's intelligence." He waved his hand.

    "Here!" The soldier bowed again and quickly retreated from the commander's barracks.

    The spies soon had news.

    It is said that from the garrison on the Great Wall, a sick young man dressed in a blue shirt, wearing a lun scarf, and shaking a lupine came.

    It was the young master who brought long arrows made of bamboo and shot him three thousand Turkic soldiers.

    After reading the secret letter, Ah Bi sneered.

    A sick young man who coughs and bleeds in the wind is also trying to order the three armies to repel his Turkic army?

    Idiots are dreaming!

    "Pass down the order and continue to drink and have fun." Ah Biza burned the secret letter from the Great Wall, and ordered the soldiers who were waiting.

    There are long rivers in the desert, and the setting sun is round.

    Soon, the night stars will be sparse.

    Both garrisons can see each other's bright bonfires.

    child time.

    Inside Changping Pass.

    ? Shen Ting finally arrived at the Great Wall after traveling all over the world, and joined Mr. Xu with provisions and reinforcements.

    "Marshal, I've kept you waiting." Seeing Mr. Xu who bowed his head, Shen Ting hurriedly dismounted and helped him up, "Marshal, you don't need to be polite."

    "The last general must not overstep." Mr. Xu shook his head, seeing that Shen Yu had noticed the young man in green shirt next to him, he introduced him, "Your Highness, this is Mr. Fengxiao."

    "Mr. Fengxiao?" Arranging the reinforcements down to get ready for a rest, Shen Xuan looked at Su Bai, surprise flashed in his eyes, "Could it be that the famous strategist of the Five Heroes, Layman Le'an, Mr. Su Fengxiao?"

    "It's Cao Min. Cao Min has seen His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness is thousands of years old." Su Bai coughed while covering his fists, and bowed his head to Shen Ting.

    Shen Ting also helped him up, with a smile in the corner of her eyes: "I heard Mr.'s name earlier, and I have admired him for a long time."

    "Your Highness, the grassroots still have a plan, which can defeat the Turks. However, you need to use your Highness's reinforcements." Su Bai coughed again, with downcast eyes and said neither humble nor overbearing.

    Under the bright firelight, Shen Ting saw that his face was a little sickly pale, so she took off the thin cloak on her body, tied it on for Su Bai, and then waited for the next text: "Mr. Feng Xiao, but I have heard about it.?´

 Chapter 39 Night Slaying in the Barracks, Shen Ting in Distress (1)

    Su Bai explained briefly what he had just said to Mr. Xu.

    After listening to it, Shen Ting smiled loudly: "Okay! The army will be dispatched by the master tonight!"

    In the darkness, a white shadow moved quietly.

    Hearing the conversation between Su Bai and Shen Xuan, Bai Ying's eyes moved slightly.

    When all three left, Bai Ying wanted to follow, when suddenly he felt movement behind him.

    Bai Ying's gaze turned cold for a moment, and he turned his head and slapped it.

    The palm touched a cold object, and immediately there was a deep male voice！！

    "It's me, Gu Anxian."

    Gu Jiuling was taken aback for a moment.

    "Shen Yunzhe? What are you doing here?" He looked at the slender figure in front of him and frowned after recognizing that he was Shen Cong.

    "You come here on leave, why can't I ask for leave?" Shen Cong raised his eyebrows, and turned his head to look around.

    This is the first time he has set foot in northern Xinjiang in this life.

    Changping Pass, the frontier fortress, is the place where the loyal generals are buried.

    "Northern border is full of dangers, how can you be so nonsense?" Gu Jiuling frowned, "Hurry back to Chang'an."

    "I'm just here to see what the Turkic barbarians look like, and I'll be back in a few days. My master can go back faster than you."

    Just as Gu Jiuling was about to speak again, he suddenly pulled Shen Cong down and squatted down.

    "Don't make a sound." Gu Jiuling held back his breath, and looked forward through the cover of the wall.

    On the trail, there was a man in black clothes, hunched over, looking around furtively, walking towards the watchtower of Changping Pass.

    He didn't know where he went, but he escaped the attention of the sentries, and suddenly got into the foot of Changping Pass, where he disappeared.

    Gu Jiuling got up quickly and urged Qinggong to follow.

    "Gu Jia Anxian, do you recognize him?" Shen Cong got up to follow, and asked him secretly through voice transmission.

    "He is a spy of the Turkic Army."

    Hearing this, Shen Cong's eyes sharpened.

    If such spies wander into the barracks, if any secrets are leaked, brother Huang still has a large army, so why not fall into the enemy's trap?

    Within a few breaths, the two arrived at the foot of Changping Pass, where the man disappeared.

    Shen Cong squatted down and looked around, his eyes fell on a certain place, and he stopped suddenly.

    Is it formation?  !

    It's two quarters.

    The Turkic army was waiting in full battle, but the army of the dynasty did not come that day. At that time, they were drunk again, and they all fell asleep.

    At this time, a horn sounded suddenly from a distance.

    "The army of the Celestial Dynasty has left the city, and the whole army is in armor and helmets, ready to fight!" The sentinel yelled and rang the alarm bell.

    All of a sudden, all the soldiers in the barracks got up in a panic, put on their armor in a frenzy, took out their weapons, and ran out of the barracks following the excited A Biza.

    Finally, the war is about to start, kill the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty tonight, and go home to slaughter people and cook them!

    Abiza Yuma walked at the forefront of the army, looked into the distance, and saw that the Changping Gate was closed and wide open, and the flames were soaring into the sky.

    He secretly clenched the long knife at his waist, ready to pull it out at any time to kill the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty.

    However, the Turkic army waited for a moment, but they didn't see half of the soldiers from the Celestial Dynasty running forward to declare war.

    The soldiers didn't wait, but they heard the sound of the other party calling for gold to withdraw.

    Being tricked?

    Realizing this, Ah Bi raised his long whip angrily, and slapped the horse's butt hard, causing the horse to turn back.

    "Withdraw troops and return to camp!"

    So the Turkic army also sounded the sound of calling for gold and withdrawing troops.

    The four words of the leader made the Turkic soldiers who were still a little groggy after drinking the strong wine stunned for a long time, and then slowly came back to their senses.

    This is being played like a donkey by those bastards from the Celestial Dynasty?

    The Turkic soldiers were already sleepy, and now they cursed the soldiers of that day.

    As they withdrew their troops back, they cursed at the barracks.

    ? On the observatory in the distance, Su Bai held up the Persian mirror, and saw Ah Biza's face as dark as iron under the light of the fire on the opposite side, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips.

    "After half an hour, please general to beat the war drum again." Su Bai put away the Persian mirror, and bowed to the young general next to him.

    "Don't bother, don't bother." The general grinned, and there was a smile on his lips that he couldn't hide.

    Those little animals, who always come to harass them in the middle of the night on weekdays, aren't they refreshed.

    Now that it was their turn, Zensheng turned into a listless look.

    His grandma deserves it!

      "Your Highness, can the concentration medicine be distributed to all the soldiers?" Su Bai looked at Shen Ting next to him, and bowed his head again.

    "They are all dispatched, and I asked my husband to spend all his wealth to prepare these things. On behalf of the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty, I thank you sir." Shen Cong bowed in return.

    It turned out that Su Bai spent all his wealth, not only buying a large amount of bamboo and grain, but also anticipating today's event early, buying medicinal herbs that he looked at carefully, and brewing all of them into a cool soup tonight for the soldiers.

    It is to relieve the heat, and to concentrate.

    Su Bai raised his hand, supported Shen Ting, and shook his head slightly at him.

    "Your Highness is the crown prince of the celestial dynasty, so don't bow your head easily." Su Bai smiled.

    "Etiquette is indispensable, Mr. Yunji is responsible for paying respects." Shen Yu also smiled.

    Su Bai stopped talking, turned his head and continued to look at the Turkic army camp, his warm eyes were full of bright fire.

    The Turkic soldier was drowsy again.

    The sound of the drums and horns of the army came from Changping Pass again.

    "Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

    The shouts and iron hoofs followed closely, and the moment they came together, they woke up all the Turkic soldiers.

    "Soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty are leaving the customs, the whole army is on alert! Go out and fight!" The sentinel blew the horn for the battle.

    The Turkic soldiers got up in a panic and ran out of the barracks again to fight.

    The soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty have already run onto the battlefield.

    Thenrunning halfway, shouting to kill, kill, fight, but turned back, and followed the sound of Ming Jin withdrawing troops, and returned to Guanzhong again.

    The closed Changping door seemed to be a ruthless mockery of the Turkic soldiers.

    He must have been teased again, and treated like a donkey again.

    "Withdraw the troops!" Ah Biza gritted his teeth and opened his lips, and returned to the barracks with a bad face.

    This time, his face was darker than before.

    On the watchtower of Changping Pass, watching the Turkic army deflated and turning back again, the soldiers couldn't bear it any longer, and burst out laughing.

    Mr. Feng Xiao deserves to be Mr. Feng Xiao, and once he came out, the Turkic army was beaten twice.

    The shame that they had been defending the city and not being able to attack before seemed to disappear at this moment.

    "Sir, do you still want to play the drums and blow the horn?" With a smile on his face, the young general hurriedly asked Su Bai.

    ? At night, the evening wind was cool, Su Bai gathered his thin cloak, coughed twice, and nodded slowly.

    "Play."

    "Or turn back halfway?"

    "No. You can drive straight in and kill the Turkic army." Su Bai shook his head, shook his feather fan slightly, and smiled with his lips.

    "Grind his morale, damage his physical strength, again and again, his morale is gone, and the battle can be won but not defeated." Shen Yu smiled in admiration, suddenly pointed to the northern Turkic army camp, and ordered loudly, "All troops listen  Order, tonight follow the prince to break the enemy camp and kill the enemy army!"

    "Here!" Under the stage, the soldiers waiting behind the stage bowed one after another and replied in unison.

    ? The sound is soul-stirring and lasts for a long time.

 Main Text Chapter 40 Night Killing Barracks, Turkic Defeat (2)

    ,

    Outside Changping Pass, two figures, one black and one white, stood quietly under the moonlight, both of them staring at the shivering rickety man in front of them indifferently.

    "It's rare for a Turkic barbarian to still have spiritual cultivation." Shen Cong rubbed his chin slowly, flipped the jade-faced keel fan in his hand, and lifted the man's chin. The sternness in Danfeng's eyes gradually became serious, "Say, you revealed how many people in the army  confidential?"

    Sensing Shen Cong's killing intent, the rickety man trembled again.

    This guy already has the cultivation base of the Nine Heavens of Foundation Establishment, and he is only one step away from entering the realm of alchemy.

    He only has the first level of foundation building, and if it falls into his hands, there is absolutely no way out.

    In this case！！

    The stooped man's heart swayed, he quickly raised his head, and met Shen Cong's eyes fiercely: "Shen Wei will be defeated, and the Celestial Dynasty will eventually fall into my Turkic pocket!"

    After finishing speaking, he quickly bit his poisonous fangs in his mouth, rolled his eyes, and went to the west.

    "Shen Yunzhe, have you taken your medicine?" Confirming that the man was out of breath, Gu Jiuling looked sideways at Shen Cong.

    Not long ago, he remembered that this guy was still in the third heaven of foundation building, how could he have ascended to the ninth heaven in such a short time?

    A little higher than him.

    "It's about the same without taking medicine."

    After deduction to the point where Gu Jiuling went to Changping Pass in northern Xinjiang with Shen Xuan's army, Shen Cong knew that he had taken a drop of Ninth Grade Gaining Pill yesterday, so he rushed over after refining it in a hurry.

    Right now, in his dantian, there is still a trace of the enhancement pill that has not been refined yet.

    "Go to the Turkic barracks first, to make sure nothing will happen when the army comes." Gu Jiuling walked towards the Turkic barracks.

    "You passed by so grandly, and the Turkic soldiers are not blind." Shen Cong stood up, grabbed Gu Jiuling's sleeve robe, and at the same time, unfolded the jade-faced keel fan, and swung it forward violently.

    A golden halo suddenly appeared in front of him, Shen Cong sacrificed two invisibility talismans, activated them and stuck them on Gu Jiuling's and his own arms, and immediately took him stepping into them.

    "The Turkic army camp has set up a net, you and I scattered at both ends to destroy the trap, and let the prince's army drive straight in." Gu Jiuling looked around, his eyes heavy with frost.

    Shen Cong nodded, and separated from Gu Jiuling.

    He knew that the prince's reinforcements were not the only thing that the young master was worried about.

    There was also Gu Jiajun who was among them.

    The Gu family army is an army brought out by Gu Yuanjia. All of them have experienced hundreds of battles. Following Gu Yuanjia and Gu Jiuling's expedition to the north and south, they can all be counted as ten.

    After the war in northern Xinjiang was settled down, the Gu family army had expanded to hundreds of thousands of people.

    In order to avoid the suspicion of the emperor, Gu Yuanjia sent troops back to his hometown to work as farmers, leaving only a few veterans with considerable experience in guarding the Great Wall to stay on the Great Wall and guard Changping Pass with Mr. Xu.

    Those few veterans are all Gu Jiuling's mentors and elders, and their friendship through life and death for many years is far better than that of colleagues.

    This time, Gu Jiuling came from afar for him and the others.

    The two secretly removed the traps in the Turkic military camp, gathered at one place, and quietly returned to Changping Pass.

    This doomed victory will be handed over to the two young sons and sisters to show off their skills.

    The Turkic soldiers at that time did not realize that the trap had been broken and the mechanism had been dismantled！they all wailed, clamoring for a good rest, and no longer caring about the soldiers of that dynasty.

    ?Su Bai's strategy of exhausting troops has worked. Now the Turkic soldiers are physically and mentally exhausted from top to bottom, and their morale is exhausted. They no longer want to raise weapons to fight.

    At the end of the ugly era, the Celestial Army blew the horn for the third attack.

    The sky turned pale, and when Changping Pass was opened, the flames soaring into the sky made the battlefield look like daytime.

    "The generals obey the order, follow the crown prince into the Turkic army camp, and capture the general Abiza alive! The head will be rewarded, and those who retreat will be dealt with by military law!" Shen Ting put on her battle armor, and her royal horse walked in front of the army, holding a red-tasseled spear in her hand,  He raised his voice and opened his lips, staring at the barracks ahead.

    "We are willing to charge into battle with His Highness and kill all the Turkic barbarians!" Tens of thousands of soldiers responded loudly, echoing loudly and neatly in all directions, and the blood of those who listened was boiling.

    "Fight! Kill!"

    Shen Ting held the red-tasseled long spear back, and the imperial horse went first.

    A large army followed closely, their steady and powerful steps kicked up countless dust in the sand.

    How spectacular is this scene of going out to the army!

    On the observation deck, through the Persian mirror, Su Bai saw the chaos in the distant military camp, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips.

    In this battle, the Celestial Dynasty will surely win.

    "Marshal, can you share a horse with Cao Min? Cao Min knows a little about martial arts, and is willing to do his best for His Royal Highness and the army." Su Bai put away the Persian mirror, turned his head to face Xu Xiao who was next to him?? Bow your head and bow.

    "Mr. Feng Xiao's body is precious, if there is any mistake, His Highness will punish the old man later." Xu Lao shook his head and declined.

    "Feng Xiao is a subject of the Celestial Dynasty, and all the soldiers outside are the subjects of the Celestial Dynasty. Even if His Royal Highness goes to war, how can you talk about being precious with a grass-roots body?" Su Bai smiled slightly, still bowing his head,

    "Caomin, I want to represent those people who died tragically and witnessed the defeat of the Turkic army."

    Old Xu hesitated for a while, but finally agreed with a soft sigh.

    So not long after, another white horse galloped out of Changping Pass, heading for the Turkic army.

    When the horn was heard, the sentinel passed on the report as usual！however, with the previous two tricks, all the soldiers thought that this time, the Celestial Dynasty was still playing tricks on them, so they didn't care.

    Although Abiza was also suspicious, he still ordered a group of soldiers to fight.

    The soldiers were lazy and sloppy, and they lined up crookedly, which was nothing like the first orderly Turkic army.

    ? They yawned and rushed to the battlefield, all of them wanton, none of them serious.

    Except Ah Biza.

    Until Shen Ting rushed forward, the sky full of flames was getting closer and closer.

    The shouts and hooves of the iron horse approached sharply with the tremor of the ground, and all the soldiers panicked.

    This time, the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty really came to fight.

    "All the generals obey the order, and follow this general to fight the enemy! Anyone who retreats will be killed!" Ah Biza shouted loudly, pulled out the saber at his side, and galloped away on horseback.

    The army came back to their senses, one by one yelled like cats to fight, and followed up leisurely-after being teased twice, they no longer had the full morale they had the first time.

    Right now, they are just exhausted.

    Desire to compete with Duke Zhou.

    Shen Ting raised the spear in her hand, and fought with Ah Bi.

    When the two were fighting, the armies of the two sides collided, and countless dust was immediately raised!

    In just an instant, rivers of blood flowed on the battlefield, and corpses littered the field.

    The soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty were encouraged and exhausted, secretly led by dozens of Gu family troops, they fought more and more bravely, and even killed the Turkic army with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

    "Withdraw troops, withdraw troops!"

    Ah Biza realized that something was wrong, hurriedly got rid of Shen Ting's entanglement, roared, and returned to the barracks on the royal horse.

    A group of Turkic soldiers threw away their helmets and armor, and fled back one after another.

    When passing by the barracks, those generals who set up traps and traps deliberately slowed down a step, intending to activate the traps and traps.

 Main Text Chapter 41 Closing the Mountain and Erecting a Monument, Recovering the Kanto (1)

    ,

    Later, they discovered that the mechanism and the trap had been completely destroyed by someone secretly.

    Could it be that there are gods and men secretly helping each other?

    Or the spies were exposed?

    "General, the spies have been exposed, and the general will lead the army to withdraw quickly!" Several generals realized this, their hearts jumped, and they hurriedly yelled at Ah Bi who was not far away.

    Ah Bi was taken aback for a moment, and was about to open his lips when he caught a glimpse of those generals who were already facing back and stopped Tianchao temporarily with their own strength, his eyes turned red.

    Not sad, but humiliating.

    He, Abiza, led the army south for a long time, and he has never been beaten back to his lair.

    Today, because of a few yellow-haired boys, he has to turn north and return to the court.

    If this word gets out, his ancestors will dig up their graves and dig up his head!

    Right now, it is more important to lead the army to retreat and save their lives.

    Ah Bi didn't care about those generals anymore, and the imperial horse left quickly.

    If Shen Ting and the sick young man dare to chase after him, he will definitely make them pay in blood!

    Raising the whip of the horse and speeding up the galloping speed of the fierce horse, a look of madness appeared in A Biza's eyes.

    On this side, Su Bai had already caught up with Shen Ting, drew out the soft sword wrapped around his waist, and fought with him.

    A group of Turkic generals felt humiliated because they were overwhelmed by a young boy, but now they saw another sick boy with a pale complexion, and they bared their teeth with a soft sword.  Fight back with all your might.

    "Mr. Feng Xiao, be careful!" Shen Ting shot down a general, and when she saw the crowd besieging Su Bai, her heart skipped a beat.

    It was only at this time that he suddenly realized that the one fighting beside him was Su Fengxiao, who looked so weak.

    The warmth on Su Bai's face remained the same, but the soft sword in his hand seemed to have eyes, following the movement of his master's wrist, he suddenly rolled up the two soldiers in front and hit them on the tent next to him.

    The force was so great that it caused the entire tent to collapse, kicking up a cloud of dust.

    Su Bai turned his head and swung his soft sword again, stabbing at the last Turkic general who was still on the horse.

    Just two swords down, the general vomited blood and rolled off his horse.

    Shen Ting: "" It seems that he is worrying too much.

    In the dark, two figures were watching quietly.

    These two people are Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling.

    It turned out that Gu Jiuling was still worried about Gu Jiajun and those old generals, so he quietly followed.

    Shen Cong would not ask him to go alone, so he cast a spell and brought him directly to the Turkic army camp.

    When seeing Su Bai's martial arts, Gu Jiuling's usually cold eyes were filled with surprise.

    I'm used to hearing that Mr. Fengxiao is a literati, so I don't think his swordsmanship is so strange.

    Looking at this appearance, it seems to be the art of Tai Chi, four or two strokes of a thousand catties, using softness to overcome rigidity - he just observed that the master does not have very strong internal strength, and relies entirely on the soft sword to exert strength.

    The soft sword seems to be hidden by a mechanism, like the handwriting of the Mohist mechanism written in the military book drawn by my grandfather.

    It is not surprising that Mr. has traveled all over the world, made friends with many people, and met the descendants of the Mohists who have lived in seclusion for hundreds of years.

    As for the others, except for the two brothers Shen Ting who could detect some clues, the rest of the soldiers all secretly lamented that Su Bai is a literary man with such outstanding martial arts.

    A few soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty ran quickly with their weapons in hand, and captured a group of Turkic soldiers who were beaten and bruised, but kept silent.

    "If you want to kill or cut, you are welcome!" One of the soldiers snorted coldly, and spat bloody saliva on Shen Ting's side.

    Shen Ting's complexion did not change, but looked at Su Bai: "What do you think, sir?"

    "Killyou must kill." Su Bai put away his soft sword, coughed twice, and opened his lips lightly, "Since the generals still have the strength to speak, how about following my Celestial Dynasty and chasing down the fleeing Turks?"

    When those soldiers heard that their army was called a deserter by a sick man, they were so angry that their beards trembled.

    Unexpectedly, what Su Bai said was not a lie, they had no room to refute, so they could only sneer and stop talking.

    Shen Ting ordered several officers and men to put shackles on the back and handcuff them to a wooden cart, and then quickly dispatched troops to continue chasing the Turkic army heading north.

    When the Turks came this time, there were not many cavalry, most of them were infantry.

    Therefore, within tens of miles to the north, the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty can catch up.

    With Shen Ting's order, all the troops marched together.

    They wore blood-stained iron armor, bathed in the white dawn of the sky, and went away with Shen Ting.Su Bai's royal horse followed the army and slowed down unknowingly.

    All those who were waiting were gone, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and looked down at his hand protruding from his sleeve.

    The palms of his hands were already dripping with cold sweat.

    A solemn look flashed across Su Bai's face.

    In the past, when he was studying martial arts with a teacher, his master knew that he was weak, so he taught him Tai Chi techniques, so that he could strengthen his body while defeating the enemy with soft strength.

    It is also because of this that he does not have the internal strength of a martial artist, and only then can he swing a soft sword, and it is his limit to move a thousand catties in four or two.

    The reason why he did it himself was to fulfill a wish for those people.

    "Seniors, Feng Xiao is incapable of beheading Turkic soldiers with his own hands！" Coughing again, Su Bai took out a handkerchief to wipe off the blood stains around his lips, and raised his eyes to the drunken dawn in the sky ahead, his eyes were warm and firm,

    "Feng Xiao swears that in Feng Xiao's lifetime, he will blood-wash the capital of Turkic kings for all his predecessors and revitalize the Central Plains."

    Seniors, the prosperity and Chang'an that you expect will be fulfilled with filial piety;

    Feng Xiao will step on the thorny road that you have never stepped on.

    Dawn has risen, and the prosperous Chang'an！！

    It must come as scheduled.

    The Turkic army went south to north, throwing away their helmets and armor all the way, even the army's banner, fell in the wind under a long arrow that roared in the air from Shen Xuan.

    Along the way, the formation of the Turkic army was in a mess, and those who ran behind were immediately captured on the spot by the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty who came up later.

    Shen Ting knew that they cooked and killed the innocent people of the Celestial Dynasty, so she was not merciful at this time. After discussing with Su Bai, she immediately ordered the Turkic army captured alive to cut off their limbs and bury them on the ground.

    The soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty thought about their compatriots who died tragically, and dug pits very diligently.

    The Turkic soldiers whose hands and feet looked like human pigs finally experienced the despair that life would be worse than death.

    Although it is too late to regret.

    Some of the infantry left behind to pack up the weapons and corpses along the way, and Shen Ting led the cavalry and light soldiers to continue the pursuit.

    It can be said that he has killed the enemy for three thousand miles all the way, and if the enemy does not resist, he will cry like a rat.

    Morale was exhausted, and the main general also fled.

    How to talk about looking back and fighting back.

    So they pursued to Changbai Mountain, and the Turkic army had only tens of thousands of infantry left.

    The army of the Celestial Dynasty climbed to the top of the mountain and looked at the northern cold frontier, all of them had heroic and passionate eyes.

    There, in the Ming Dynasty, was once the land of the Han people.

    It's a pity that the court of the late Ming Dynasty was incompetent, and large areas of territory fell into the hands of barbarians.

    That innocent king lost all the face of the Han people.

    Standing on Changbai Mountain, Shen Ting felt an unprecedented excitement in her heart.

 Main Text Chapter 42 Closing the mountain and erecting a monument, regaining the Kanto (2)

    ,

    A real man is a soldier and horse all his life, guarding the country and ruling the world!

    Suddenly remembered something, Shen Ting dismounted from the horse and whispered a few words to the lieutenants, his complexions changed, and he left quickly.

    He turned towards Chaoshou again, and Shen Ting ordered again, and several soldiers ran up to dig a hole on the spot with their weapons.

    While a group of soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, several lieutenants quickly worked together to move a large and heavy stone.

    When they put the stone into the pit and filled it up, the stone stood up slightly.

    Shen Ting stepped forward with the sword in hand, her inner strength surging, squinting her eyes, raised the long sword and stabbed at the boulder that seemed to weigh hundreds of catties.

    The long sword flipped with the master's wrist, twisting and twisting flexibly like a small green snake.  In a flash, the boulder debris fell to the ground, and a line of elegant cursive script suddenly appeared on the boulder surface.

    All the generals looked intently, only to see a line of eye-catching characters written on it！！

    The Celestial Boundary Monument.

    Looking to the side, there is another line of small characters！！

    Drive away the barbarians, unite the four directions, and the sword will not be sealed in the uncertain world!

    Just this line of words can make their blood boil, wishing to kill all the barbarians immediately, unite all countries to rule the world, and return to their hometown in peace.

    Not far away, Shen Ting came slowly with Gu Jiuling. Seeing the line engraved by Shen Ting in the distance with a hidden breath, his heart was inevitably moved.

    If he hadn't been thinking about the way of longevity and returning to his hometown, he would definitely stay here and follow his brother to decide the world immediately.

    The battlefield is always a place that makes men timid or passionate.

    And Gu Jiuling, after distinguishing the words on the stone tablet, the blood in his heart also boiled.

    When he finds out the truth about the extermination of the family, he will follow his father's will, re-send the battlefield, and lead the Gu family army to defend the Central Plains!

    Shen Ting looked at the stele, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes, then turned her head to look at the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty who were staring at her, feeling a little emotional in her heart, so she made her inner force and opened her lips:

    "In the past, my great Han expedition to the Western Regions spread the good name of the Central Plains all over the world. All courtiers in the four directions, and the world bowed their heads! The Wuhu chaos, the rites and music collapsed, and the Han people will be extinct! The Sui and Tang Dynasties stood up in troubled times, and the five barbarians were wiped out.  , to revive the prestige of the Han Chinese in the Central Plains! Now the Turkic Japanese pirates and other barbaric tribes, taking advantage of the early establishment of the Chinese Dynasty, want to repeat the mistakes of the Five Hus in the past and invade our Central Plains again！"

    After a slight pause, Shen Ting continued to open her lips in a loud voice, the voice reverberated in the valley, and lasted for a long time！！

    "The son of heaven guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country! My Shen Dynasty, I take this Ming Dynasty as my family motto! It is the capital of Chang'an, and I guard the northern border! Today, the Turks are going south and often invade Changping Pass, cooking and slaughtering my celestial dynasty  Innocent old and weak women and children! How can we allow him to be so presumptuous in our prime years!"

    "Those who respect our celestial dynasty will be treated with courtesy and kindness; those who offend our celestial court will be punished even if they are far away! Now I am in a state of embarrassment, and I will set up a monument here to enter the territory of my celestial dynasty from Changbai Mountain! After that, the barbarians will commit crimes again, and they will not repent.  , will raise the sword to kill!"

    ?After these impassioned words, not to mention those young soldiers, even a few veterans who have experienced many battles, they also burst into tears.

    Ten years after the founding of the Celestial Dynasty, the conquests of the Quartet armies never stopped.

    Those barbarians, those big countries, deceived the new kingdom of the Celestial Dynasty, thinking that the country was weak and the soldiers were thin, so they sent troops to harass the frontier every year, intending to occupy the territory.

    It's just that their emperor personally conquered the Celestial Dynasty, and defeated them one by one.

    The Celestial Dynasty was built on iron and blood, and on white bones.

    The general commanded thousands of troops, and Emperor Jing Yuan led hundreds of officials to guard the court, which was able to stabilize the situation of the celestial dynasty.

    It is also because of this that there have been few major battles in Western Xinjiang in the past two years-those centuries-old powers have discovered that the situation in the Celestial Dynasty will be stable, so they hibernate and start sending envoys to and from trade.

    However, barbarians such as Dali in southern Xinjiang, Japanese pirates in eastern Xinjiang, and Turks in northern Xinjiang are still harassing the frontiers year after year.

    Even Yanjing, the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty in the past, was firmly held in the hands of the Turks！it used to be the glory of the Han people, but now it has become a joke for the Turks to laugh at the Han people in the Central Plains.

    One day, they and their descendants will head west from Changbai Mountain, fight all the way to Huangchao, take back Yanjing, and take back his land in the Central Plains!

    It doesn't matter if the monsters run rampant in all directions, and it doesn't matter to stare at them from all sides.

    The rulers and ministers of the Celestial Dynasty vowed to recover the lost land of the Central Plains, so why not be afraid of the barbarians!

    "Destroy the Turks, drive out the barbarians! Defend the country, rule the world!"

    "Destroy the Turks, drive out the barbarians! Defend the country, rule the world!"

    All the soldiers shook their weapons in unison, and responded excitedly.

    A soldier who knew Danqing secretly wrote down this exciting scene, from the battle??After going back, he painted it into a picture scroll and spread it all over the Central Plains.

    It is also for this reason that for thousands of years later, whenever future generations see these picturesque scrolls that have lasted through the ages, they will always recall the things described in ancient books and history books.

    ? In that era of smoldering wars, those ancestors who fought bloody for the prosperity of Chang'an, under the leadership of the contemporary prince of the heavenly dynasty, started the real Northern Expedition and the first war to recover the Kyushu Han land.

    "All generals listen to the order. After taking a rest, follow the crown prince to continue the Northern Expedition!" Seeing the morale of the army was boosted, Shen Ting held the sword and pointed it at the vast expanse of land in the north.

    "The last general takes orders and swears to follow His Highness to the death!"

    On one side, Su Bai frowned slightly.

    His Royal Highness, it seems that there are some

    It's too hasty.

    At the same time, Gu Jiuling frowned.

    His Highness's move seems a bit reckless.

    "Brother Huang has always been a sensible person, why is he in such a hurry for the Northern Expedition?" Shen Cong rubbed his chin, feeling something was wrong.

    Suddenly, Shen Cong's eyes moved.

    He remembered something.

    I heard that the mother's hometown is in the desert of northern Xinjiang.

    In the past, when the father was still a courtier in the late Ming Dynasty, he went north to investigate the local people's conditions, and it was also because of this that he became attached to his mother and queen.

    The queen mother is the darling in the depths of the desert, born unrestrained, living a chic and comfortable life.

    Probably it was the empress mother's openness and innocence that attracted the emperor father who was used to dark hearts - so he asked him to do everything possible to lure the empress mother back to the Central Plains.

    "The emperor's brother will eventually conquer the northern border. At that time, the emperor's brother will return to his homeland on behalf of his mother, and worship the desert for thousands of miles. The mother said that the desert is her life. If it is not because of her father, she will spend her whole life  They are all accompanied by the sunset in the desert and the white deer spirits. The mountain spirits there protect her, and all things there protect her！she is the most carefree little princess there.￣

    Shen Cong still remembers that when he was young, Shen Cong hugged him and told him the story of his mother when she was young.

    At that time, Brother Huang's face was full of childishness.

    What has remained unchanged so far is the perseverance when talking about the Northern Expedition.

    At this moment, Shen Cong's heart suddenly felt a little touched.

    Certain thoughts also secretly wavered.

    After one night, the army continued the northern expedition.

    ?From Changbai Mountain to the north, and continued to drive in, tens of thousands of troops, unexpectedly took back the land of Kanto in one breath.

    The Turkic army retreated one after another, and when they withdrew to Yanjing, the imperial capital, they did not retreat a single bit.

    The army of the Celestial Dynasty went west and confronted the Turkic army far away.

 Main Text Chapter 43 Turkic Armistice, Peace with the Celestial Dynasty

    ,

    ?It happened to be the first ten days of the twelfth lunar month, and Xu Lao led his army to support Shen Xuan, so 300,000 troops gathered at Yuyang Pass in northern Xinjiang.

    After Shen Cong captured the Guandong area, Mr. Xu immediately went to the court and sent craftsmen to build the Great Wall with the Turkic army captured. Because of the large number of Turkic troops, in just three months, the Kanto area erected a tall wall.  High earthen walls.

    Although it is not as strong as the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty, the Turkic army, which has garrison patrols and has damaged morale, would never dare to invade easily.

    Considering the emptiness of the Chinese treasury in recent years, Emperor Jingyuan simply ordered the Turkic captives to stay in the Kanto area to reclaim the wasteland and the mines there.

    At that time, there were two rising tribes on the grassland, under the secret promotion of Su Bai, they began to send troops to harass the Turkic frontier.

    Of these two tribes, one is Houjin led by Nurhaci, and the other is the Xiongnu who have a history of thousands of years, jumped back from the territory of Tsarist Russia, and are preparing to make a comeback.

    Facing such a dangerous situation of attack from both sides, the helpless Turkic king sent envoys to ask for negotiation and war with the Celestial Dynasty.

    Shen Ting sent Su Bai.

    On that day, Su Bai rode out on his horse, and under the escort of a young man, he leisurely went to the Hanping Valley in the middle of the two realms of the Turkic Celestial Dynasty to discuss the joint war between the two armies.

    That young man with a youthful face and a burly figure, named Gu Zhi, is a young child from a branch of the Gu family.

    Because he heard that Mr. Feng Xiao came to the battlefield in person to advise the army, causing the Turkic army to retreat steadily, so Gu Zhi, who had always admired his talent and name, could no longer control the boiling blood of the young man, and rode all the way north to find Su Bai.  Vow to follow the left and right, and conquer the Quartet with him.

    Su Bai couldn't shirk it, so he simply let him go.

    It was only today that Su Bai realized that this young man still had a small character.

    His small characters are Huaibei.

    The land of Huaibei is the land of the Central Plains.

    is a good name.

    "I still have a question, I don't know what is the direction of my heart, little friend from Huaibei?" Su Bai put his hands on the white fox cloak given by Shen Ting, and looked at the vast plain ahead with warm eyes.

    "Restart the prosperous world and restore the peace of the world." Gu Zhi led the horse and strode on the snow, but his steps were surprisingly steady.

    He also looked ahead with determination in his eyes.

    "On the road of thorns, there are rebels who act out of selfish desires. What about my little friend?" Su Bai asked again without squinting.

    "Although there are thousands of people, I will go."

    Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go on.

    ?Okay, a good sentence, although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go!

    During this period of getting along with each other, Su Bai knew that this young man was a straight-talking master, true to his name, who would not beat around the bush.

    Therefore, he will not say anything against his will.

    Su Bai coughed suddenly, coughing and coughing, with a smile on his face.

    The future of this son can be expected, and he will definitely be a strong general who deters the barbarians.

    He said no more.

    ? White snow was flying in the sky, pressing down on a tree of plums standing upright, Hanmei bent slightly to shake off the snowflakes, and stood upright again, standing in the vast snow.

    In Hanping Valley, under an ancient pavilion.

    The Turkic envoy rubbed his hands, looked left and right, and finally the leisurely Su Bai came.

    "Mr. Fengxiao, I have admired your name for a long time." The envoy hurriedly got up, imitating the appearance of the Central Plains people, clasping fists and bowing their heads.

    Among the Turkic army, the most widely circulated portrait is not Shen Xuan, but Su Bai.

    If Su Baishang hadn¨t played Emperor Jingyuan and sent people from the Kanto region to trade with the Xiongnu and the Houjin two countries, how could these two countries have known that when the Turks were using their troops, the Celestial Dynasty had taken back the important land of the Kanto！so they took advantage of the fire to loot.  He ran to the western Turkic border to capture the city.

    ?They all hated Su Bai from top to bottom.

    As soon as the envoy uttered it, the jerky Central Plains dialect floated out, which sounded really awkward.

    "Straightforward to the point, how does your country think that the war should be stopped? I have to go back to take the medicine, so I don't want to waste time." Su Bai dismounted, holding a hand stove, and slightly opened his lips.

    Envoy: "" It is really shameful for such a sick man to cause the Turkic army to run like a bereaved dog.

    "It is your Majesty's will to use the Han Ping Valley as the border between the two countries, to divide the east and west, and to use this as the northern border. I don't knowwhat do you think of your country?" The envoy said, and glanced at Su Bai quietly.

    "The area around Yanjing, give it back to our celestial dynasty. The Turks bowed their heads and professed their vassals, and came to pay tribute to the court." Su Bai stroked the heating stove, his eyes dimmed a little.

    "Sir, this statement is absurd. Yanjing has always been the capital of the Turkic king for me, so why talk about cutting it off?"?? suddenly frowned.

    "Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Yanjing has been known as the capital of Yan. The land of Yanzhao is the land of the Han people in the Central Plains. Even if it was captured in the late Ming Dynasty, the name of the ancient capital of the Han people still exists, and it is known all over the world.  Became your Turkic capital?" Su Bai raised his eyebrows.

    The envoy choked.

    Just as the sick man said, Yanjing was indeed seized from the hands of the Han people.

    As for repayment, it is impossible.

    "I heard that the Xiongnu and Houjin have been quite fierce in recent days. Both countries intend to make diplomatic relations with our celestial dynasty, and it seems that they will come to the DPRK to make peace soon." After coughing, Su Bai slowly rubbed his chin.

    When the envoy heard the words, his expression froze.

    If the two countries make a diplomatic alliance, the Turks will have no choice but to survive.

    "Sir, you might as well discuss it again." Remembering that the Turkic king had ordered him to appease the Celestial Dynasty, not to ask the Chinese army to buy the mission of Han Pinggu, the envoy took a deep breath and hurriedly bowed and smiled.

    Su Bai nodded, opened his lips warmly, but his tone was unquestionable: "Your country moved its capital, and our army withdrew."

    Telling the barbarians to occupy Yanjing and use it as the imperial capital to trample on the dignity of the Han people in the Central Plains, he will definitely not ignore it.

    "Okay." The envoy gritted his teeth and replied, thinking of something, he hurriedly added, "I, Turkic, intends to send the princess to marry, why don't you take the princess with you when your country's army returns?"

    "Your country's soldiers and horses can endure the severe cold." Su Bai turned his eyes around, smiled, then turned away from the envoy, got on his horse and left.

    "Within three days, if I don't see the Turks moving the capital, then my army of the Celestial Dynasty will march westward and cross the Hanping Pass. Step on the bones of Turkic slaves and wash Yanjing with blood."

    Gu Zhi, who had been silent all this time, helped Su Bai get on the horse, and walked away slowly facing the heavy snow.

    The envoy looked at the backs of the two leaving, slowly stretched out his hand, and smiled wryly: "He has already noticed it, let's go back to Yanjing."

    The soldiers and horses lurking in the dark turned back quickly.

    It turned out that when the Turks set up negotiations here, they set up a Hongmen banquet where Su Bai never came back.  Whenever what Su Bai said was not in line with Turkic intentions, the hidden soldiers and horses would be dispatched immediately to kill him.

    When Su Bai came, he seemed to be looking at the envoy all the time, but from the corner of his eye, he swept to the places where the ambushes were hiding.

    Especially the sentence before leaving, directly revealed the ambush here.

    He has a calm face, without any fear, as if he has put life and death aside.

    Seeing Su Bai's strength of character, the envoy knew that if Su Bai was killed today, the army of the Celestial Dynasty would definitely set foot on his Turkic land.

    Forget it, just move the capital, as long as the war ceases, the king will definitely agree.

 Main Text Chapter 44: Proton's sudden death, capturing the cat ghost alive (1)

    ,

    The two armies negotiated, the Turks moved their capital, and prepared to make peace with the Celestial Dynasty, and soon spread throughout the Central Plains.

    Su Bai became famous again.

    However, when the soldiers from all over the world looked for him to return to the court together, they only found a letter on rough paper.

    The letter has only one line of flamboyant cursive script！！

    "Chang'an, a prosperous place, is not as good as a peaceful river. If I don't like it, I will take Huaibei to go first, and I will meet again in the future. Fengxiao wrote it himself."

    After watching it, Shen Ting laughed.

    Mr. Feng Xiao didn't like Chang'an, he clearly didn't like the chaotic court that was as noisy as the market.

    No matter what, no matter what, if he is destined to meet again, he will definitely pay three visits to the thatched cottage and personally welcome Mr. out of the mountain.

    On the third day in the middle of the twelfth lunar month, the army of the Celestial Dynasty returned triumphantly.

    At that time, Shen Cong, who was tracking the case of the cat ghost in Chang'an, finally met Shen Xuan, who was returning to the imperial court.

    The two gathered around the East Palace and warmed up a few jars of northern Xinjiang spirits, intending to have a long talk all night.

    "A Cong, the emperor didn't go to the northern Xinjiang desert this time, and the empress looked at her homeland thousands of miles away. I really can't help the empress's homesickness." Swallowing a mouthful of hot wine, Shen Ting let out a deep mouthful of turbid air, which was always warm.  His eyes were stained with guilt.

    "When the four directions are settled down, in the future, the emperor will sometimes have time to set foot in the deep belly of the desert." Shen Cong smiled brightly, "But when the emperor comes back, he will not care about his sister-in-law."

    "It's time to go see your sister-in-law. A Cong, I want to ask you for a treasure in the future when I'm a child." Mentioning Shen Xiaoshi, a smile appeared on Shen Yu's face.  .

    It turned out that Shen Xiaoshi was pregnant in April.

    Shen Ting, who was a father for the first time, heard the news when he was still in court, so he sent people to make a pair of longevity locks overnight, intending to give it to this child.

    "Okay, there are still some treasures I found during my travels in my mansion, and I will definitely give them to my nephew with my own hands." Shen Cong nodded.

    After saying some personal words, the two brothers said goodbye.

    Shen Cong got up, raised his foot and was about to take a step out, riding the golden halo back to King Qin's mansion, when he suddenly sensed a sinister aura.

    He raised his eyes and looked up, and a black shadow was caught in the corner of his eyes.

    It's a cat ghost.

    Shen Cong's eyes flickered.

    Since the emperor's brother went to the north for three months, there has been no sign of cat ghosts in Chang'an.

    The Jinyiwei sent by the Duwei Mansion did not report any cases of cat ghost cannibalism.

    The cat ghost seemed to have disappeared all of a sudden.

    Unexpectedly, today, when his royal brother returned to Chang'an, there was movement from the cat ghost.

    And went out of the palace in front of him.

    Squinting his eyes, Shen Cong took off the jade-faced keel fan at his waist, stretched out his hand to swipe a cat ghost breath into the void, and made a seal with both hands and shouted: "Fighting battle formation, look for it!"

    The jade fan glowed with a golden luster, as thin as a filament, and flew towards the distance with the momentum visible to the naked eye.

    Without hesitation, Shen Cong stepped forward with one step, chasing after the golden halo that suddenly appeared in front of him.

    After this pursuit, he went straight to Chang'an Post Station, the residence of Prince Dali who was sent as a proton.

    The thicker than viscous smell of blood came to the nostrils.

    Something is wrong, come a step late!

    Shen Cong frowned.

    Suddenly, there was a sharp cat cry from the eaves.

    A cat ghost, Ding Xiang Jiupin, ninety-seven years of Taoism.

    Stepping out again, Shen Cong went straight to the eaves through the golden halo, unfolded the jade-faced keel fan, and swung it forward violently.

    The monster energy collides with the spiritual energy, and the fighting method is on the verge of breaking out.

    In these three months, after Shen Cong refined the trace of buffing pill liquid in his dantian, his cultivation base has improved greatly, and now he has stepped into the first level of alchemy！the drop he took at the beginning was only refined in a hurry, so that he could only improve  A small realm.

    When refining later, Shen Cong incorporated the secret technique of his previous life, which made the spiritual power of the elixir extremely rich, and because of this, after taking it, his cultivation level increased greatly.

    It is more than enough to deal with this cat ghost of the ninth rank of Ding Xiang.

    However, after a few tricks, Shen Cong captured the cat ghost alive, put it in his bag, and was about to leave when he suddenly smelled an extremely stinky burnt smell.

    He looked down, his eyes reflected the monstrous flames.

    Also, the ghost-faced black robe that slowly walked out of the flames, raised its eyes and bowed slightly to him.

    It's him?  !

    Shen Cong winked sharply, but knew that the strength of the enemy and us were very different, so he didn't go up to chase, but jumped to the eaves of the other side, closed his fan and wrote a spell in the void.

    The post station is flooded.The people walking around panickedly carried buckets, and followed the hurriedly rushed yamen servants to put out the fire.

    When the yamen servants were in a state of panic, a deep voice suddenly came from above！！

    "In my name, sacrifice my spirit, borrow the law of heaven and earth, rain to put out the fire. Standing in battle, order!"

    Everyone looked up and saw a black figure standing on the eaves of the square, which was very clear under the fire.  After the young master formed a seal with his hands and recited the mantra, the void in front of him instantly burst into golden light.

    It's just that in an instant, the wind and clouds and thunder came.

    Thousands of thunder roared between the wind and clouds, and the torrential rain suddenly fell in people's astonished and surprised eyes.

    When Song Cheng arrived, he saw the thunderstorm that condensed into a hurricane above the void.

    He looked to the side again.

    The person who did that was actually Shen Cong.

    It's him?  Isn't he only in the Foundation Establishment Realm?

    Song Cheng stared at him carefully, and suddenly frowned.

    In these few short months, he had just recovered from his injury, yet Shen Cong ran to the realm of transformation without saying a word.

    He remembered that this kid was mediocre, not even as good as Gu Jiuling.

    That's all, as long as it's not the other way around.

    Seeing that the fire was extinguished, Shen Cong withdrew the cloud and rain again. Song Cheng waved his hand and gave an order: "The cat ghost is still in it. Jin Yiwei obeys the order and sets up a net to catch the cat ghost alive!"

    "Here!"

    A group of Anbu Jinyiwei who followed each other dispersed and stood on their own side.

    Among them, Gu Jiuling is among them.

    It turns out that since the past three months, Gu Jiuling has followed Shen Cong to practice catching monsters, and he has not forgotten to refine the half-immortal demon pill, and now he has stepped forward to build the foundation of the ninth heaven.

    "Shen Cong, you come to set up an array to catch monsters." After repelling the crowd of people who wanted to watch, Song Cheng quickly cast a barrier, then stepped out and landed in the center of the formation, looking at the mysterious figure on the eaves with burning eyes.  Clothes.

    Tell him to come and see how much this bastard has improved in cultivation.

    Shen Cong bowed from a distance, and after the formation was completed and the net of heaven and earth emerged in the sky, Shen Cong pulled out the jade-faced keel fan and slapped the ground suddenly.

    "Fighting battles, come!"

    With this sound, a golden light emerged from the fan and flew towards the ground along the outside of the high-rise house.  The moment he disappeared under the feet of the group of Jin Yiwei, a huge golden formation suddenly appeared.

    Just tell the formation, eight directions and even the center, each with a golden dragon.

    As Shen Cong held the fan and stood up slowly, strands of gold threads appeared under the fan！the gold threads were connected to the formation, Shen Cong stood upright, and Jiulong carried the formation, also pointing towards him little by little.  fly up.

    When Shen Cong straightened his body, the Nine Dragons were standing on the top of the station.

 Main Text Chapter 45 Proton violent death, capture cat ghost alive (2)

    At that time, a gloomy and evil spirit floated out from the station.

    It's a cat ghost, not just one.

    Suddenly putting away the jade-faced keel fan, Shen Cong gave a low voice: "Retreat!"

    A powerful ray of light suddenly appeared in the center of the Nine Dragons formation above the void！the ray condensed downwards, forming a beam of light.

    The moment the beam of light touched the station, there were more than a dozen tragic meows from inside.

    "The heaven and earth net, go!" Seeing this, Song Cheng quickly formed a seal with both hands.

    Under the surprised eyes of the people who were peeping quietly, the big net in the sky fell down with lightning speed, and when it merged with the beam of light, the powerful aura scattered in all directions.

    "Those who have nothing to do with the case will be dismissed, and those who interfere with official duties will be detained and dealt with with a stick!" After closing the formation, Song Cheng glanced back, and his loud voice immediately spread through the streets and alleys.

    The people who were peeping in the dark originally wanted to go up and hold the melons and fruits to look at, but after hearing these words, they all stopped their steps abruptly.

    This Commander is so fierce.

    Shen Cong stepped forward with one step, and took the golden halo to step into the station ahead of Song Cheng.

    The post station has been burned beyond recognition, and dozens of corpses inside have been distorted and deformed.  As for those cat ghosts, they were all restrained by formations and could not move. There was a mixture of burnt and foul smells, and an indescribable rotten smell mixed in.

    These smells almost distorted the faces of the Jin Yiwei who came in behind.

    "Let's hold your breath. If you have any fear in your heart, go back to the Captain's Mansion." Song Cheng put on a fire pocket, walked inside, and slightly opened his lips.

    These brats are not as stable as Gu Jiuling.

    ?Look at him, his complexion does not change, he looks like a master.

    "You guys move the corpse away and call Wuzuo to do the autopsy. Qin Zheng, Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling stay behind, and I will catch the cat ghost with me." Putting a cat ghost bound by a formation at the door into Qiankun's bag, Song  Cheng turned his head and looked at those Jin Yiwei.

    The Jinyi guards looked at each other, bowed silently and dispersed, carrying the corpse in and out.

    When Song Cheng finished giving his orders, he turned his head and found that Shen Cong had already walked inside, which was where the Prince of Dali lived.

    "Killed by a cat ghost, its master burned the body." Opening the corner of Proton's mouth and looking inside, Shen Cong opened his lips lightly.

    "Receive the cat ghost first, then post-mortem." Song Cheng frowned.

    This kid, after improving his cultivation, started to go ahead without obeying the command.

    Hearing the words, Shen Cong stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

    With this sound, all the cat ghosts turned into spiritual light and escaped into the bag in Gu Jiuling's hand.

    "My lord, the cat ghost has been taken away." Shen Cong bowed his head and bowed, then turned his head and began to walk around.

    Song Cheng: ""

    Qin Zheng shook his shoulders, but felt that it was not good to laugh in such a place.

    So he slowly regained his composure, and followed Shen Cong to look around for clues.

    Just looking around, I can only distinguish the traces of the soldiers scurrying and trying to escape-the cat ghost came silently and killed all these people.

    Even with the little proton who has no power to restrain the chicken.

    It was already the beginning of the morning when a seal was put on the gate of the inn.

    Song Cheng didn't go back to Duwei's mansion to file a record, but rushed to the palace to report the killing of Dali's proton to Emperor Jing Yuan.

    Such major events are related to the safety of southern Xinjiang. If they don't block it quickly and think of an emergency strategy, Dali will definitely not be able to swallow his breath, and will use this as an excuse to send troops to fight back.

    ?Southern Xinjiang has finally had a stable time, so how can we allow Dali, a tiny country, to act presumptuously.

    After Emperor Jing Yuan heard about the sudden death of the Dali proton, he had a headache and began to convene ministers to discuss countermeasures.

    Those ministers who had just returned to the palace early in the morning, heard the news and hurried into the palace again, and went to the imperial study.

    "Your Majesty, I believe that the current strategy is to block the news first, and then discuss countermeasures." The prime minister bowed.

    All the ministers responded one after another.

    So Emperor Jing Yuan quickly sent Jin Yiwei of the Ming Ministry to block the news.

    However, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles-almost overnight, the whole Chang'an knew that the Dali proton died at the Chang'an post station, and died at the feet of the emperor.

    Among them, there are many foreigners who are doing business in other countries, and there are countless horses and horses coming in and out in the morning.

    When Emperor Jing Yuan heard this, he couldn't help feeling cold.

    I'm afraid I can't hide it.

    Sure enough, the matter quickly spread throughout the Central Plains, and also spread to southern Xinjiang.

      Even the deliberate words of some caring people secretly reached the ears of Emperor Dali.

    Immediately, the emperor was so angry that his blood surged up.

    This son came because of his old age. He was so spoiled by the heavens on weekdays that he wished he could take off the sun, moon and stars and send them to his arms.

    Unexpectedly, he died today in the imperial capital of the Celestial Dynasty, under the eyes of the old emperor, how could he swallow this breath.

    The emperor cried so hard that the sky was dark, and scolded so heartily.

    After calming down his sorrowful thoughts a little, the Emperor of Dali decided to allocate 300,000 soldiers and horses, and ordered a highly respected old general in the court to go north to capture Dali's southern border capital.

    That is, Jinling City in the south of the Yangtze River.

    The old general knelt down on his knees, tearfully pleading with the Emperor Dali to take back his order.

    The loss of soldiers and horses last time was extremely serious. If we go to the north and return to the north, Dali will only be left with the imperial guards guarding the imperial capital.

    After all, the emperor was getting old, and when he heard the old general's words of advice, he immediately flew into a rage, thinking that he had secretly surrendered to the Celestial Dynasty, so he wanted to capture and kill him immediately.

    This old general was a veteran of the three dynasties, and many military officials in the dynasties were his disciples and grandchildren.

    When he heard that his master was about to be executed, the group of disciples and grandchildren couldn't stand up.

    They stood up one after another to intercede for him, and they tried to persuade the furious Emperor Dali, and also persuaded him to extinguish the idea of ??sending troops in his heart.

    After calming down, Emperor Dali thought about it for a while, and after a flash of light flashed between his brows, he wrote a secret letter overnight and ordered people to send it to Chang'an, the emperor Jing Yuan, in the hands of Emperor Jingyuan.

    After reading this secret letter, Emperor Jing Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.

    Dali will not attack southern Xinjiang, just send the proton's body back.

    With a wave of Emperor Jing Yuan's hand, a group of soldiers left the city and went south that day, carrying the proton and the corpses of the Dali captives, and went to the Dali border.

    All the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty straightened their faces, for fear that Dali would sneak up on them secretly.

    It was Emperor Dali who greeted the corpse.

    The emperor led all the civil and military officials to open the gates of the frontier city, and greeted the corpse of his son back home with tears on his face.

    This scene made all the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty very sad, and many of them lowered their eyes and secretly reddened their eyes.

    One day, they will go back lying down like this.

    Perhaps, only one turban returned to Chang'an with the generals.

    Their parents will also send the white-haired person to the black-haired person.

    Surprisingly, Dali hurried back to the city after receiving the body of the proton.

    The general after the breakup looked back frequently, but he never saw the Dali army go out to fight.

 Main Text Chapter 46 The Princess Marries, Shen Cong Catches the Demon

    Keeping this doubt in the bottom of my heart, a group of soldiers quickly returned to Chang'an.

    Unexpectedly, after they left, Emperor Dali changed his sad expression, turned back to the palace with a gloomy face, quietly summoned a person, and both of them went to the imperial study, and they talked until late at night before leaving.

    At the same time, the marriage contingent from the Turks jumped over the Changping Pass in the twelfth lunar month after a delay of two months, and marched into Chang'an City.

    On the fifth day of the first ten days of the twelfth lunar month, Prince Shen Ting personally welcomed the Turkic princess into the palace.

    When Emperor Jingyuan saw that he was young, and he was still a year old, he waved his hand and sent him to the newly built post station.

    Having learned from the past, this time Emperor Jing Yuan sent Anbu Jinyiwei to patrol around.

    Whenever there are monsters infesting, Jin Yiwei will immediately dispatch to bombard and kill the monsters.

    Among them, Shen Cong, Gu Jiuling, and Qin Zheng were impressively among them.

    Shen Cong was promoted to another official not long ago, and became the general banner of the seventh rank.

    Because he often brought Gu Jiuling or Qin Zheng with him when he unveiled the list to catch monsters, so the two were promoted one after another, changed from the yamen to the regular, and became Cong Qipin Xiaoqi, but they were still transferred behind Shen Cong by Song Cheng.

    On this day, Qin Zheng took a rest, and Gu Jiuling sat on the high-rise building of the post station, looking up at the cold moon in the sky, looking like a wandering spirit, and didn't pay much attention to Shen Cong.

    Shen Cong didn't care, leaned against the promenade in front of the main pavilion of the post station, took out a pot of wine from his waist and drank it leisurely.

    I heard that the Turkic princess who got married this time is the most beloved daughter of the Turkic king.

    I also heard that this little princess came from the main palace, and she can be described as a serious daughter-in-law！！the Turkic king was so cruel that he sent the first-line princess to marry him, which shows how the Empress Jin and the Huns forced the Turks.

    Regarding this, Shen Cong didn't feel pitiful.

    If you really want to talk about pity, who will take pity on those soldiers who fell on the battlefield, and who will take pity on those old and weak women and children in the Central Plains who were buried in the belly of barbarians.

    After only three or two sips, a black shadow suddenly fell in front of him.

    "Your Highness." He Qi cupped his fists and bowed his head.

    "Is there any progress on the case of human skin trading?" Shen Cong lazily put down the wine pot, and squinted at the black robe sitting on the eaves.

    It's the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the Gu family boy doesn't feel cold even if he sits high up.

    "Returning to Your Highness, there is no progress yet. However, my subordinate has something to report." He Qi suppressed his voice, "A few days ago, my subordinate was investigating the case, and accidentally tracked down the cat ghost with Jin Yiwei. Jin Yiwei did not catch up.  With full cultivation, I caught a glimpse of the cat ghost escaping into the Hall of Acacia, and never came out again."

    Shen Cong stared for a moment.

    Hall of Acacia

    There is the place where his fifth brother, Zhao Wang Shen Xun's mother and concubine live.

    Could it be that the cat ghost is related to Shen Xun?

    "He Qi, don't startle the snake beforehand. Tonight, you and I will sit here and wait for the cat ghost to come, and then go after him." Rubbing his chin, Shen Cong slowly opened his lips.

    "Here." He Qi nodded, and then stood still in the darkness behind Shen Cong's side.

    Shen Cong looked at the brightly lit inn, with a glint of frost in his eyes.

    Zhao Wang Shen Xun was born by Concubine Yu. Because of a serious illness when he was young, his sanity was lower than that of a three-year-old child.

    Concubine Yu held Shen Xun on the tip of her heart, which could be said to be in extreme pain.  Therefore, Shen Xun would never leave the Hall of Lovesickness until the festivals.

    If the instigator of the cat ghost case is really him, then Shen Xun has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger for many years.

    The depth of the city even far surpassed his second and third brothers.

    However, all this is just his guess.

    Waiting for the present to chase the cat ghost, if the cat ghost comes and flees to the Hall of Acacia, he can quickly and thoroughly investigate the matter with He Qi and Chen Xin.

    If he had learned the gossip deduction thoroughly in his previous life, instead of half-baked, now he doesn't have to guard it in the cold winter, he can do it directly.

    There was light snow in the sky.

    "He Qi, it's New Year's Eve again." Shen Cong took out a hand stove from Qiankun bag.

    "There are more than ten days until the New Year's Eve." He Qi replied softly.

    Shen Cong nodded, looking up at the bright moon with dazed eyes.

    It will be seventeen years since he came to this world.

    In that world, who will remember him.

    Forget it, forget it, let's focus on the immediate matter.

    When Shen Cong collected his thoughts, a black shadow suddenly appeared above the station.

    "Meow -" a sharp soundThe meowing of cats cut through the long night.

    coming!

    Shen Cong's eyes sharpened.

    A whistle sounded, and the Jin Yiwei who were lurking in the dark all moved out and jumped towards the eaves.

    The first to do it was Gu Jiuling who had been sitting on the eaves.

    Noticing that the cat ghost appeared behind her, Gu Jiuling's cold eyes were stained with a stern look.

    He pulled out the long sword at his waist, stood up and turned to stab the cat ghost.

    This cat ghost is the cat ghost king I saw in the past.

    In the long snowfall, the weird sound of the flute suddenly sounded - when the sound of the flute sounded, countless cat ghosts came from all directions, rushing towards the post station.

    In an instant, there were screams in the station and the sound of objects falling to the ground one after another.

    Noisy to the extreme.

    "Protect the princess!" Shen Cong shouted with a change of gaze.

    Jin Yiwei quickly turned around and rushed into the station, killing the cat ghost while approaching the girl in the silver fox cloak not far away.

    The girl leaned against the wall tightly, her watery eyes under the light veil of the bamboo hat were full of horror.

    She was born so old, and had never seen such a bloody scene.

    What's more, when these cats were knocked, they looked like rotten flesh and smelled like a living thing.

    "He Qi, you go to protect the Turkic princess, and I'm going to track down the cat ghost king." Shen Cong put away the stove, pulled out the jade-faced keel fan, gave a hasty order, and stepped out in one step, taking the golden halo straight to the eaves  above.

    Hearing this, he originally wanted to follow a demon-subduing He Qi, silently turned his head and performed lightness kung fu, and flew into the station.

    Here, Shen Cong came to the eaves and caught a glimpse of Cat Ghost King and Gu Jiuling fighting in full swing, evenly matched.

    He squinted his eyes.

    The cat ghost king is already in the ranks of the second phase, with a thousand years of Taoism.

    Logically speaking, Gu Jia Anxian's cultivation level is not the opponent of Cat Ghost King at all.

    "Shen Yunzhe, don't come here!" Just as he was about to help Gu Jiuling, Gu Jiuling, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his lips coldly.

    The moment his voice fell, Gu Jiuling yelled, jumped up, and stabbed the long sword between the viscera of the cat ghost king.

    The sound of the flute stopped abruptly.

    The Cat Ghost King let out a stern scream, and immediately turned into a cloud of black smoke and ran towards the distance.

    That is the direction of the palace.

    Shen Cong's expression darkened, he took a step forward, and followed the cat ghost king.

    Gu Jiuling stared fixedly at the direction he was leaving, and waited until the black smoke disappeared, then his throat rolled, and he spit out a mouthful of blood suddenly.

    The young man's complexion turned pale all of a sudden.

    "Who the hell are you?" Holding the long sword behind his back, Gu Jiuling turned around slowly, his cold eyes staring at a black robe with a ghost face.  </div&gt

 Main Text Chapter 47: Jiu Ling Injured, The Seal Appears (1)

    ,

    The ghost-faced black robe lowered his eyes, playing with the black flute in his hand, with a leisurely look.

    "You have the aura of the demon clan on your body." He slowly raised his eyes to look at the former, and his eyes flashed away, "It's strange. How can a human being carry such a huge demon power?"

    Gu Jiuling's complexion suddenly changed.

    He could actually detect the demon core in his body.

    "Master Hou might as well go on the same journey with me - I can guarantee that within ten years, all the power in the world will be in the hands of Lord Hou. What does Master Hou think?" The ghost-faced black robe smiled fiercely.

    What answered him was Gu Jiuling's long sword that suddenly swung over.

    The ghost-faced black robe suddenly turned into a cloud of green smoke and dispersed.

    "Benhou and you have never been of the same feather." Gu Jiuling looked at the wisp of smoke in the void, with unprecedented coldness in his eyes.

    Then, he jumped into the post station and joined Jin Yiwei to kill the remnants of cat ghosts.

    When the last cat ghost fell under Gu Jiuling's long sword, the lurking, strange pain spread from the depths of the bone marrow, spreading all over Gu Jiuling's body inch by inch.

    Even the soul twitched with pain.

    Gu Jiuling spit out a mouthful of blood again, and felt a flash of flowers in front of his eyes, so his knees softened and he fainted.

    "grown ups!"

    Seeing Gu Jiuling fell to the ground, the Jinyi guards were startled.

    Qin Zheng stepped forward and carried Gu Jiuling on his back to the Captain's Mansion, while the rest of the group quickly picked up the cat ghost's corpse.

    Not far away, He Qi caught a glimpse of Gu Jiuling being injured, and wanted to leave to help heal.

    "Young master, stay here." A gentle female voice came from behind, and He Qi's footsteps stopped abruptly.

    He Qi lowered his eyes, turned around and bowed to the person who came out, his voice was clearly alienated and respectful: "Your Highness, I will go first if I have something to do. The cat ghost has been eliminated, Your Highness should go to bed earlier."

    After saying that, he turned his head and left quickly.

    Dugu Xiaoyu stared at He Qi's leaving back, in a daze.

    After a long time, she didn't laugh until the last Jin Yiwei also left.

    "Why is the princess smiling so happily?" the maid next to her asked puzzled.

    "I seem to have found the husband I was looking for in the Central Plains." Dugu Xiaoyu smiled, and turned her head back to the house amidst the surprised eyes of all the maidservants, "It's getting late, let's turn off the lights and settle down."

    Here, Shen Cong pursued the cat ghost king, and saw it stepping into the Hall of Acacia, his heart sank.

    If once is a coincidence, what about twice.

    He landed in front of the Acacia Palace, stretched out his hand and slowly stroked the vermilion palace gate.

    A strange and evil spirit suddenly spread to the palm, and the bone-chilling coldness pierced the heart.

    Shen Cong quickly withdrew his hand and opened his palm to have a look.

    A ray of black air suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand.

    It is exactly the same as the spirit of cat ghost!

    Squinting his eyes, Shen Cong urged the system spell to smash the evil spirit, and suddenly flew upside down, landing firmly on the bricks and tiles of the promenade beside him.

    He stared at the Hall of Lovesickness, made seals with his hands, and said in a low voice: "When you are in battle, you have piercing eyes!"

    Words can't follow!

    When the sound fell, Shen Cong's fingertips suddenly condensed a tiny ray of golden light.

    Stretching out his hand to wipe his eyes, Shen Cong fixedly looked at the Hall of Acacia.

    The temple is still the same temple, but with a layer of black mist covering the entire hall.

    The surrounding black mist is still shallow, and the closer it is to the inside, the thicker the mist becomes.

    These mist are exactly the same as the evil spirit emanating from the cat ghost king.

    People who are proficient in formations will find a little bit here.

    These black qi seem to be scattered, but they are actually arranged in a feng shui evil formation-the formation faces south and north, absorbs all the evil energy in this area, and feeds the evil things in the center of the formation.

    In addition, the formation method also sucks the essence and blood of people, and uses it as the eye of the formation.

    The power of this sucking power accumulates over time, enough to cause the people who live here to die silently and violently inside.

    Among them, Concubine Yu, who lived in the main palace of the Acacia Hall, was the first to suffer.

    Shen Cong twisted his fingers and began to deduce, but only deduced that this matter was related to the ghost-faced black robe.

    As for the future, he couldn't deduce it.

    How can he be so vicious!

    Shen Cong frowned, and was about to knock on the door to check the details, when a sound transmission from thousands of miles suddenly came from a distance！！

    "Your Highness, Master Hou was seriously injured and has been carried by Jin Yiwei to Duwei's Mansion, asking Song Cheng for help."

      Hearing this, Shen Cong's heart sank.

    Gu Jia An Xian was injured?

    He no longer hesitated, stepped forward with one step, and left with a golden halo.

    The moment he left, a frail figure slowly opened the palace door, raised Gu Jing Wubo's eyes, and looked at Shen Cong's leaving back.

    "Meow！！" a cat meowed suddenly from inside.

    A small black cat with white paws jumped out and gently rubbed the figure's bare ankle on the ground.

    The figure slowly squatted down, picked up the black cat, turned its head and left slowly.

    The dark green pupils of the black cat moved slightly, and the rich door closed by itself.

    If someone was present at this time, they would be dumbfounded when they saw the walking posture of that figure.

    Because of this stiff movement, it doesn't look like the posture that a normal living person should come out of.

    In the Duwei's mansion.

    Shen Cong came in a hurry, and saw that Song Cheng had carried Gu Jiuling on his back and walked towards his courtyard, and waved him and the others away.

    "Why was Gu Anxian injured?" Shen Cong retreated, saw Qin Zheng, hurriedly pulled him over, and asked secretly through voice transmission.

    "At that time, a few of us were killing the cat ghost, maybe I was injured by the cat ghost." Qin Zheng frowned, recalling the scene just now.

    "Shen Cong!" At that time, Song Cheng's sullen voice suddenly came from the courtyard.

    With a frown between his eyebrows, Shen Cong stepped out with a single step, and went straight in with the golden halo.

    He bowed hastily, and then looked at Gu Jiuling whose upper body clothes had been stripped off by Song Cheng.

    Gu Jiuling's back is full of old and new scars, in different shades.

    Among them, there was a slight black bump an inch below the neck.  That mass of black lumps moved back and forth between the spines, it was even more terrifying to watch.

    That is´´

    When Shen Cong saw the squirming black bag, he unconsciously remembered some dusty past events.

    "This official told you to look at Gu Jiuling, is that how you look at it?!" Song Cheng pointed at Gu Jiuling's back, staring at the former with a headache and annoyance.

    When Gu Jiuling was the only one left in the direct line of the Gu family, the loyal family, when he heard that Gu Jiuling had joined the Anbu of Jinyiwei and started to catch monsters and investigate the case of extermination, the emperor repeatedly told him to keep an eye on him.

    He thought that Gu Jiuling and Shen Cong lived together under the same roof, so he asked Shen Cong to watch over them more.

    That's all right, Gu Jiuling had something like this happen today, and the emperor appointed him to scold him later.

    "This subordinate is negligent, but please be punished by your lord. Right now, it is imperative to save the Gu family first." Shen Cong stopped bowing, stepped forward with a frown, and slapped the wriggling black bag with his palm.

    A golden magic circle immediately appeared on Gu Jiuling's back.

    "Fighting in battle, come out!" Shen Cong sternly formed a seal with one hand.

    With this sound, the skin under the magic circle burst open.

 Main Text Chapter 48: Jiuling Injured, the Seal Appears (2)

    ,

    Black blood gushed out one after another.

    Following closely behind was a bulging, eyeless worm.

    ? Eyeless worms, first-class cloves, thirteen years of practice.

    This thing has been raised for thirteen years

    Shen Cong pinched the struggling worm, threw it aside violently, then closed the magic circle, and began to heal Gu Jiuling with spells.

    After Song Cheng focused his attention on the worm, Shen Cong secretly urged the system's master hand to rejuvenate and heal the wound on Gu Jiuling's back.

    When the first ray of spells melted into the veins, the power of the demon core in Gu Jiuling's dantian suddenly ran away, flowing through the veins of his whole body.

    The young Lord Hou frowned tightly, and Shen Cong's heart skipped a beat when he heard the deep humming in his throat.

    The half-demon elixir has always been gentle, how can it go berserk now?

    He frowned, but before he had time to think about anything else, he twisted the formula again, forcibly suppressing the half-demon elixir.

    At that time, an unknown monster force gushed out of Gu Jiuling's body, directly shaking Shen Cong away.

    Shen Cong took three or five steps back, and it was Song Cheng who gave him a hand to stabilize his figure.

    Sealing the twitching worm on the ground, Song Cheng followed Shen Cong and looked at Gu Jiuling.

    Unknowingly, Gu Jiuling's back has an extra formation that looks particularly old-the formation is divided into two circles and turns in opposite directions.

    A deep and resonant long cry came from the boy's body.

    Immediately afterwards, in the surprised eyes of the two, a huge white fox face appeared in front of the formation on Gu Jiuling's back.

    A ball of light exploded from the formation, and the white fox suddenly opened its eyes.

    These are not the pale green pupils of the monster race！the green in the fox pupils has receded, even stained with a hint of gold.

    When it opened its light-colored golden pupils, a chilling soul coercion spread out from the fundus of its eyes, mixed with dust and dispersed in all directions.

    Even Song Cheng was so shocked that his soul trembled.

    If this is a living thing, it only needs to blink one eye, and it can kill him thousands of times.

    "A fox demon who has become a half-immortal." Song Cheng suppressed a trace of anxiety in his heart, and slowly frowned.

    Most likely it has something to do with Gu Jiuling taking the half fairy pill.

    Shen Cong remained silent, looking at the opened fox eyes, he already had the identity of this fox demon in his mind.

    Armored Great Demon

    Nine Tails

    Gu Jia Anxian, is this the secret hidden in your body?

    When Song Cheng wanted to take a closer look, the formation flickered, and the fox demon hid in Gu Jiuling's dantian.

    At the same time, the young Lord Hou's eyelashes trembled slightly, showing signs of waking up

    Shen Cong took off his thin cloak and threw it forward.

    When the thin cloak landed firmly on a certain boy, he suddenly opened his cold eyes.

    Gu Jiuling suddenly stood up and looked back, and saw the worm that was sealed and fixed on the ground at a glance.

    "Gu Jia Anxian, what can you do if you have nothing to do?" Shen Cong slapped the worm away, smashing the worm into powder, and then glanced at the former.

    "I thought I could compete with that cat ghost king." Gu Jiuling lowered her eyes.

    At that time, he didn't know where his self-confidence came from, but he just felt that he could compete with each other.

    Although it was true that the cat ghost king was stabbed, he himself was not much better.

    and´´

    Ever since he fell into a coma, he has been able to hear an intermittent whine.

    Some like a fox.

    Gu Jiuling frowned.

    Shen Cong and Song Cheng looked at each other in blank dismay, but in the end they still didn't tell him about the seal-like magic circle on Gu Jiuling's back.

    "Okay, Shen Cong, tell me now, do you know where this worm came from?" Song Cheng pointed to the puddle of powder on the ground.

    Just now, through his deduction, he knew that this worm was transitioned from the cat ghost king.

    If Gu Jiuling had never had close contact with the cat ghost king, this bug would not have entered Gu Jiuling's body and sucked his blood.

    "This is the mother-child Gu. The mother-child Gu is on the cat ghost king, and the worm just now is the child-gu." Shen Cong slowly lowered his eyes, and his voice also sank a third, "Mother-child Gu, from Miao Jiang  .￣

    As soon as this remark came out, everything was quiet.

    Shen Cong frowned even more tightly.

    Back then, Concubine Yu, the birth mother of the fifth prince, came from Miaojiang, and was taken into the palace as a concubine by Emperor Jing Yuan.

    Now, the cat ghost king ran to the Hall of Acacia after something happened.

      Among them, using the word coincidence to explain it is too far-fetched.

    "If I remember well, a few years ago, when you traveled around, Shen Cong, you went to the Miaojiang area to look for opportunities?" Song Cheng suddenly looked at Shen Cong, with a sharp look in his eyes.

    "Your Excellency, you think that your subordinates know the law and break the law, harming the people of the Celestial Dynasty?" Shen Cong raised his eyebrows.

    "I know the techniques of gossip and deduction, and I already know your character well. If not, you would have taken off your flying fish robe long ago, and you would have been kicked out of Jinyiwei by this official." Song Cheng shook his head, "What I mean is that you are familiar with Miao  Because of the terrain in Xinjiang, I want you to go to Miaojiang to find clues to the cat ghost case."

    Shen Cong's eyes paused.

    At the same time, the dusty dark memories of those years surged up again, making him breathe a little bit.

    To be honest, he didn't really want to go to Miaojiang.

    However, in order to investigate the case, no matter how unwilling, he had to let go of the knot in his heart.

    With this in mind, Shen Cong slowly bowed his head and bowed: "Your subordinate obeys."

    "Okay, take He Qi and leave today." Song Cheng patted him on the shoulder, "When you come back, I will make another great contribution to you and Gu Jiuling. The salary will be withheld from me, and I have the right to treat you as you."  filial piety."

    Shen Cong: ""

    He, Mr. Song, who is greedy for money and miserly, really never forgets his original intention.

    Shen Cong bowed again.

    "My lord, my subordinate" Gu Jiuling slowly opened his lips.

    Just before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Song Cheng！！

    "You don't want to meddle in the case of the cat ghost, and you can go to work after recovering from your injuries."

    As Song Cheng said, he took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and threw it over, "This is a holy medicine for healing, and it will heal within a few days after taking it."

    If the ancestor was injured in any way, his ass would not be safe under that board.

    "Here." Gu Jiuling took the porcelain vase and lowered her eyes slightly.

    He didn't feel any discomfort at the moment.

    Except for that trace of restlessness in the dantian.

    "Okay, let's go back quickly. In the middle of the night, I asked the official to worry about this and that, and go for a walk." Song Cheng turned his head and waved, impatiently issued the order to evict the guests.

    Shen Cong smiled.

    It's because I'm afraid that my son will be punished by his father tomorrow.

    He and Gu Jiuling bowed again, and then took the latter with the golden halo, and went straight back to the Qin Palace.

    Song Cheng looked at the moonlight in the sky and slowly lost his mind.

    In his lifetime, he actually saw two great monsters with armored appearance.

    Apart from Song Cheng, Shen Cong was the one who suffered from insomnia that night.

    Tossing and turning, Shen Cong closed his eyes and saw all the gloomy things of that year.

    The desperate and painful eyes of those people were deeply imprinted in Shen Cong's mind like a brand, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.

    Feeling irritated, Shen Cong simply opened his eyes, got up and fell into meditation, chanted a mantra for clearing the heart, and began to meditate.

 Main Text Chapter 49: Fall of Southern Xinjiang, Massacre of Jinling City (1)

    Early the next morning, Shen Cong carefully instructed the shadow guards in the mansion to protect Gu Jiuling, and then he took a step forward and took the golden halo to the southern border.

    As for He Qi, he didn't take it with him, but left it in Chang'an to protect the Turkic princess Dugu Xiaoyu.

    When Song Cheng found out that He Qi was still in Chang'an, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

    This Shen Cong is so angry with him!

    The seventh day of the last ten days of the twelfth lunar month coincides with the New Year's Eve.

    After a heavy snowfall, the taste of the New Year becomes stronger.

    ? In Chang'an City, up to the imperial palace, down to the streets and alleys, blessings are pasted, Spring Festival couplets are written and lanterns are hung up, which looks like a lively New Year's Eve.

    Recently, it seems that monsters also want to enjoy the joy of the New Year, and the surrounding area has become much quieter！Jin Yiwei rarely receives any troublesome monster cases.

    Seeing this, Song Cheng simply waved his hand and granted a part of Jinyiwei's annual leave in advance.

    Among them are Gu Jiuling and Qin Zheng.

    Qin Zheng originally wanted to go up to Gu Jiuling to get close, and take a meal at the palace.  But when he saw his cold face, he didn't look forward to making fun of himself.

    As for Gu Jiuling, counting his annual leave, he brought two thousand-mile horses from the barracks, left Chang'an overnight, and rushed to southern Xinjiang.

    He is going to visit those Gu family troops who came down from the battlefield.

    At that time, it was already night in Jinling City.

    The red lights hang high on the banks of the Qinhuai River, and the girls in the painting boat wear cotton flocks, hold pipas in their arms, and sit on the bow of the boat as if they are not afraid of the cold, singing a few melodious little songs.

    Among them, the most sung is the Qinhuai scene that has been passed down for a long time.

    In the city, the old and weak women gathered together with their families, and some daughters sat on the threshold holding jade rabbit lanterns, waiting for their fathers to return from the battlefield.

    Further south, the Southern Xinjiang Great Wall garrison, wrapped in thick armor, looked farther south.

    Behind them are the lights of thousands of families, enjoying themselves together.

    How many years ago, they were also those country children who squatted by the stove with candied haws in their arms, watching the delicacies on the table with a sigh.

    Now, they can only look into the distance with their eyes, standing on the Great Wall, standing tall.

    That childhood playfulness will eventually be buried deep in my heart.

    Under the observation deck, a group of uninvited guests in night clothes suddenly arrived.

    One of them took out a bamboo tube from his cuff, and made a gesture with the others next to him.

    When he ignited the contents of the bamboo tube, everyone quickly covered their mouths and noses.  One drew the bow and strung the string, and the other tied the bamboo tube to the tip of the arrow. With a sound of Hei Ye, the long arrow left the string and went straight into the ground of the watchtower.

    The sentry was vigilant, and carefully leaned over to check, when the bamboo tube suddenly released a burst of white smoke.

    Caught off guard, several sentries inhaled the white smoke one after another, rolled their eyes and fell to the ground.

    The group of people boarded the ladder and climbed up the Great Wall. When they saw that the sentinel had passed away, they immediately cast sharp eyes.

    The soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty stationed at the South Great Wall were staring intently at Dali in front of them, when they suddenly heard a clear and loud whistle from the observation tower.

    They looked suspiciously, but they couldn't see the sentinel standing guard, and their hearts sank suddenly.

    There is a situation!

    A horn blew in the distance, and thousands of arrows rained from the sky, shooting straight at the garrison soldiers.

    A strange sound came from afar, resounding through the sky.

    "It's the Japanese pirates! The Japanese pirates united with the Dali army to attack the Great Wall at night, and be on alert quickly! The whole army is on alert!" An experienced veteran general's face changed drastically when he heard the voice, and he ran forward with his legs.  Shouting loudly.

    There were not many soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty stationed at the southern border. Since the last time the crown prince Shen Yu returned to the court, there were tens of thousands of soldiers who returned home along with them. There were only a few thousand soldiers who actually guarded the southern Great Wall.

    And looking at the coalition forces of the Japanese pirates and Dali this time, even listening to the sound of horseshoes, I know that there are at least more than 200,000 soldiers and horses.

    Although the Japanese pirates in Dali are weak, they have very few troops this time. It is possible that the two armies will cross the Great Wall and attack the southern border of the Celestial Dynasty.

    This is the first time that the old general has faced the enemy with such a serious attitude since he guarded the Great Wall for so many years.

    ? The enemy is outnumbered, and the outcome is determined.

    Even so, you have to fight to the death.

    "All armies, obey the orders and guard the Great Wall! Those who come！" The old general drew out the long sword at his waist, stared at the rapidly approaching alliance army with red eyes, and shouted the three words with the greatest strength in his life, "Kill no one!"  amnesty!"

    The Japanese pirate army rushed to the front row pushing a row of strange things.

    "Kill the Central Plains people!" Someone yelled, and those who were sitting behind the strange objectThe Kou soldiers quickly turned their direction, polished the torch, and pointed at a long line in front of them.

    "Boom!"

    A loud noise pierced the plain, and the gate of Changling Pass was bombarded by artillery fire.

    Also smashed the towering watchtower.

    Suddenly, gunpowder smoke rose from this side, minced meat was everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.

    The old general struggled to get up from the pool of blood, pushed aside the blood stone on his body, drew out his long sword and rushed forward with a roar.

    The long arrows all over the sky suddenly struck, and the old general had already been hit by more than a dozen long arrows in front of him before he could run a few steps.

    His pupils suddenly widened.

    In the sky full of blood, the last thing the old general saw was the two coalition forces excitedly leaping over himself kneeling on the ground and rushing into the closed gate of the fallen Changling.

    The strange big object was pushed by the Japanese pirates, over the old general's body, and broke into the closed door with the army.

    "Boom!" "Boom!"

    Thunder came suddenly from the sky, icy rain mixed with unknown loud noises swept across the South Great Wall, completely bringing the soldiers lying on the ground into darkness and chaos.

    According to historical records, in 1654 A.D., Japanese pirates united with Dali, and the two armies captured Changling Pass in the southern Xinjiang of China with Western artillery fire.  None of the soldiers stationed in the city retreated. With 5,500 men and horses in a bloody battle, the entire army was finally wiped out.

    The two armies drove straight in, intending to capture the southern border with lightning speed

    "Boom!"

    Another thunderclap sounded.

    In the ruins of Changling Pass, a soldier who was blown up and lost half of his arm suddenly woke up.

    He got up and looked around hastily, all he could see were the flesh and blood of his compatriots smashed by the artillery fire.

    The little soldier staggered to his feet and caught a glimpse of a man kneeling in a pool of blood not far away.

    His eye sockets suddenly turned red.

    That'stheir old general.

    Xiao Bing knelt down and kowtowed three times, then quickly got up and ran towards the official road.

    There were a dozen frightened war horses walking around restlessly at this moment.

    These Hummers are all fast horses specially bred by the frontier for the imperial court.

    And be familiar with the official road shortcuts so that you can quickly return to Chang'an.

    The little soldier untied the reins for them, led a horse, stepped on another fast horse, and hurried away in the dust.

    It was three days before the Chang'an court knew that Changling Pass in southern Xinjiang had fallen.

    Emperor Jing Yuan was furious, and quickly dispatched his crown prince, Shen Yu, with 300,000 cavalry to support southern Xinjiang.

    After Song Cheng heard the news, an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

    He twisted his fingers and quickly deduced it, and his expression changed drastically.

    Jinling has fallen.  </div&gt

 Main Text Chapter 50: Fall of Southern Xinjiang, Massacre of Jinling City (2)

    Lunar New Year's eve.

    Jinling City in the south of the Yangtze River.

    The sky was cloudy and misty, and the whole city was covered by gunpowder smoke.

    Not long ago, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties was bustling and bustling, but within a few days, it has become a pile of ruins.

    The smell of blood mixed with the snow that was falling all over the city.

    Death is everywhere here, as if there is no living thing except those devils.

    At the south gate of Jinling City, a group of pirate soldiers gathered at one place, excitedly pushing and shoving the captive Chinese people, telling them to gather in front of a big pit.

    One of the soldiers shouted, and several people in front raised their long knives and stabbed them into the belly of the talismans.

    The white knife enters and the red knife exits.

    The captives fell down and fell into the pit behind their heads.

    Several Japanese pirate soldiers who stabbed slowly were ridiculed by their companions, and seemed a little downcast.

    "Phew!"

    At this time, a long arrow suddenly scattered the dust, flew through the air through the gunpowder smoke, and pierced a Japanese pirate soldier's eyebrows.

    The Japanese pirate soldier's smile instantly froze on his face.

    He fell straight down, and the Japanese pirate soldiers next to him quickly rang the alarm bell, clenched their sabers tightly, swept around vigilantly, and babbled and yelled.

    "Shhhhhhh!"

    Another three long arrows flew through the air and pierced straight into the heart of the Japanese pirate soldier at the front.

    "Central Plains people！sneak attack, despicable!" A Japanese pirate soldier spoke the Central Plains dialect jerkyly, his face full of anger and panic.

    On the ruins not far away, a man dressed in white slowly lowered his longbow.

    This young man didn't wear a black gauze hat, his long hair was tied high with a jade crown, and he flew wantonly in the wind along with his robe.

    He wiped the center of his forehead, and the half moon hanging on the center of his forehead looked as cold and incomparable as his eyes, just like the frost of the twelfth lunar month.

    Gu Jiuling put the longbow on his back, suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, flew away with one step, and came to the Japanese soldiers in a few breaths.

    This sudden appearance, full of murderous looks like a ferocious young man like a prairie liger, frightened the soldiers.  After regaining consciousness, the soldiers raised their samurai swords and slashed at the boy.

    A sword pierced the heart and lungs in front of him, Gu Jiuling pulled out the long sword expressionlessly, kicked away the Japanese pirate soldiers who were sneaking up behind him, and then stabbed backhand.

    In a short while, all the Japanese soldiers were killed by him.

    Blood rolled down from the long sword, and the boy's white clothes were soaked in bright red, but his face was still icy cold.

    He looked back at the big pit, his eyes trembling.

    In the big pit, the corpses lying vertically and horizontally are all the people of the Celestial Dynasty who have no power to restrain the chicken.  The despair and anger on their faces lingered until death.

    What's more, Gu Jiuling also saw many young girls whose clothes were stripped and their bodies were bruised and purple.  When some died, their pupils were wide open, and they were unwilling to close their eyes no matter what.

    The corners of Gu Jiuling's eyes turned red.

    A ray of deep sadness mixed with anger emerged from the boy's eyes.

    sorry´´

    He should have come sooner.

    A day ago, he came to Southern Xinjiang and just visited several retired Gu Family Army veterans, and there was a change in Southern Xinjiang.

    The Japanese pirates from Dali and Dali joined forces and ran around in Jiangnan to rob and kill.

    Gu Jiuling turned pale with shock, immediately summoned the nearest Gu family army, gathered hundreds of people and went straight to the fallen Jinling City.

    Jinling City is an important fortress in southern Xinjiang, and troops passed by continuously, joining the enemy troops ahead.

    The most urgent task at the moment is to get rid of the fire from the bottom of the pot, and first cut off the coalition forces of the two countries that crossed into the southern border.  Then wait for the imperial reinforcements to kill these animals.

    "Master Hou, another three hundred Gu family troops came from Sichuan to fight with us!" A young disciple wearing a red square scarf ran out of the dust and hurriedly bowed to Gu Jiuling.

    "Report! The Japanese pirate army entered through the customs and brought in another thirty Western cannons!" Another young disciple also wearing a red square scarf ran over and looked at Gu Jiuling anxiously.

    It turned out that those strange things that blasted across the Changling Pass were the foreign cannons imported from the Western trade by the Japanese pirate army on a sea expedition.

    That kind of cannon is more powerful than the gunpowder of the Celestial Dynasty.  A bullet flew out, and the wall was destroyed in an instant.

    "Western cannons are not as powerful as the rain of arrows to kill them. First go to the customs to the place where Jinling must pass, and set up thunder!" Gu Jiuling showed a dignified look on his brows, and he put away his long sword and turned away quickly.

    A group of Gu family army disciples followed.

    In the distance, a young man in black clothes watched countless bright red scarves go away in the smoke.

    &nbspHe was wearing a black gauze hat, holding a jade-faced keel fan in his hand, looking in the direction of Gu Jiuling, his eyes were no less dignified than the latter.

    Shen Congcai went to Miaojiang and failed to find his old friend. When he was preparing to perform the Nian Jue, there was a change of enemy invasion in southern Xinjiang.

    He left in a hurry and came straight to Jinling City, where he saw the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, where the sky was filled with gunpowder smoke and there was no living spirit.

    After another deduction, he saw those tragic scenes.

    The Japanese pirates take pleasure in killing people, and a hundred people are tied up and stand in front of the big pit.  With one command, tens of thousands of knives are pulled out, like slaughtering cattle and sheep, blood will be flying wherever the blade passes.

    ?The person who kills a lot takes credit for the high position and is sought after by all the soldiers, while the person who kills a lot before it is too late feels sorry for himself, tearing up his body to vent his anger.

    The group of animals laughed loudly, and then scattered around, slaughtering the people in the city as much as they wanted.  Those who resisted were punished by being split by a chariot. After being divided into pieces by five horses, they were cooked with chicken, duck and fish, and the meat soup was shared.

    The wooden buildings on both sides of the Qinhuai River were bombarded by Western cannons in just one day and became ruins.  Those girls cried and screamed, ran to escape, and finally fell into the hands of Japanese pirates.

    Locked in the tent, what awaits them is more terrifying than death, those inhumane torture and bullying.

    Shen Cong clenched his fist quietly, killing intent burst out in his eyes.

    In the last life, the darkness that was written into the history books was finally staged here again.

    This herd of cattle!

    At that time, a sound not far away suddenly interrupted Shen Cong's thoughts.

    "It's from the Central Plains!"

    Shen Cong could understand the chattering language they spoke, and knew that they were Japanese pirates.

    Just in time!

    Shen Cong's eyes sharpened, he quickly put away his folding fan, and took out an Xiuchun knife from the Qiankun bag.

    This knife is the beginning of the system, and it is powerful, comparable to a mythical treasure.

    Since joining Jinyiwei, he has only used it once, that is, that time when he was in danger in the dense forest.

    He is used to using the dragon bone fan, the magic weapon of his life - but today, he has to return this group of animals with courtesy.

    "Clang！！"

    The long knife was out of its sheath, and when the owner's gaze became extremely cold and severe, the sharp edge stretched forward, and the sharp knife energy quickly pierced the air.

    With screams coming across the dust, Shen Cong stepped forward, riding the golden halo straight to the front of the Japanese soldiers, and swiped the Xiuchun knife again.

    "It's from the Central Plains, kill the Central Plains people!" Someone shouted, and all the soldiers rushed towards Shen Cong.

    "Being ready to fight, borrow soldiers!" Shen Cong showed no fear, and slapped the ground with his palm, and a golden magic circle flew up from the ground instantly.

    A group of golden men in bronze battle armor rose slowly from the formation, and slowly landed under the horrified eyes of the Japanese pirates.  </div&gt

 Main Text Chapter 51 Enemies from the front and rear, Shen Ting's life is in danger (1)

    "Destroy the Japanese pirates, leave no one behind!" Shen Cong raised the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and pointed the sharp point of the long knife at the Japanese pirate soldiers. His eyes were colored with an angry red, and the words that burst out between his teeth were very clear,

    "All generals obey orders, kill!"

    "kill!"

    A soldier drew out the long sword at his waist and rushed out of the formation. The bronze armor rubbed against the soldier's footsteps. The terrifying sound was particularly obvious in this quiet corner, and it was everywhere!

    The Japanese pirate soldier suppressed the fear in his heart, raised his samurai sword and rushed forward.

    Shen Cong stepped forward in one step, took the golden halo and went straight to the back of the Japanese pirate soldier, and slashed down with a knife, the soldier was cut in half even with a skeleton in an instant.

    In an instant, blood flew and stained the cheek of the knife-wielding boy.

    Shen Cong turned sideways expressionlessly, and then stabbed forward at the Japanese soldiers who were attacking him.

    The long knife penetrated into the soldier's abdomen and came out from the back - the Japanese pirate soldier was full of panic, and his eyes were not closed when he died.

    In the dust of thousands of miles, under the blessing of Shen Cong, these ancient and majestic bronze soldiers wiped out the Japanese pirate soldiers with lightning speed.

    When the last Japanese soldier fell to the ground, all the bronze and gold soldiers bowed their heads to Shen Cong！！

    "It is an honor to serve my Lord."

    Shen Cong bowed in return, put away the long knife and formed seals with both hands, a golden light suddenly glowed from his fingertips.

    The formation under the feet of the bronze and golden soldiers reappeared, and they turned into filaments of golden light, slowly melting into the formation, and then dissipating into the void together.

    Turning around and looking at the endless dust and gunpowder smoke in all directions, Shen Cong slowly lowered his head.

    Ruins and corpses criss-cross the ground - those old and weak women and children who are still waiting for the return of soldiers from afar have all been pitted and killed.

    Japanese pirates, Dali, one day！！

    "You will become homeless dogs." These words are still bursting out from the jaw.

    Shen Cong, who was covered in blood, quietly clenched his fists, his eyes showing an unprecedented firmness.

    In the 11th year of Emperor Jingyuan of the Tian Dynasty, on the first day of the first lunar month, Shen Ting led an army of 300,000 troops to southern Xinjiang, joined with the Gu family army, and began to counterattack the Japanese pirates Dali and the coalition forces of the two countries.

    ? On the third day of the first lunar month, the Celestial Dynasty won its first battle;

    On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Gu's army followed Gu Jiuling's wishes and secretly set up an ambush to bomb Western artillery, annihilating the 100,000 coalition forces of the two countries.  Seeing that the situation was not good, the Dali army withdrew from the precipitous mountains overnight and closed the country.

    ? On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Gu Jiuling and Shen Cong joined forces, led five thousand Gu family troops, and set up a large-scale extermination formation with the thunderbolt as the eye, successfully blocking the 100,000 Japanese pirates at the customs.  The army was defeated, and went to the northeast from the sea.

    On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Shen Ting led an army to kill the Japanese pirate army. The Japanese pirates retreated all the way to Jinling City, and the Celestial Dynasty army took advantage of the victory to pursue them.

    The setting sun ahead was slanting and sinking, leaving a brilliant brilliance on the flags of the Celestial Army.

    In the commander's barracks, Shen Cong was discussing with Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling the countermeasures to destroy the Japanese pirate army！！Shen Cong calculated that Shen Xuan had arrived near Jinling City, so he took the latter directly to Shen Xuan's army in a golden halo.

    "Early tomorrow morning, you and I will each lead our troops into the city, besiege the Japanese pirates, and kill them all." Shen Ting pointed to the Jinling City on the sand map, her eyes stern and determined.

    "Your Highness, don't be reckless." Gu Jiuling shook his head, "Although the Japanese pirates have shown signs of defeat, there are still dozens of Western cannons in their army. Our army of the Celestial Dynasty is all heavy cavalry. Although we have gunpowder, we are no match for the Western cannons."  artillery fire."

    The gunpowder technique of the Celestial Dynasty has been delayed since the founding of the country, except for a little research. Emperor Jing Yuan led his army to conquer the north and south.

    Feeding the people is still a difficult problem, so how about researching and developing gunpowder techniques.

    I heard from the trade envoys that some kind of movement has arisen in the West. In just a hundred years, the territory has been expanded, sailed and colonized, and the national power has become extremely strong.  The foreigners are going to be like the Japanese soldiers, intending to carve up the territory of the Central Plains of his dynasty.

    "Then Hou Ye thinks, how should we kill the Japanese pirate army?" Shen Ting asked with a frown as she slowly clenched her fists under the sleeve robe.

    He has seen the power of those foreign weapons, and those foreign cannons are not comparable to his Chinese gunpowder.

    But let them occupy Jinling City, tell them to step on the corpses of the people of his celestial dynasty, and step on the ruins of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties to survive.

    It's nothing more than the fact that the Japanese pirate army marched westward to southern Xinjiang, and the coalition forces Dali invaded the territory of the other Celestial Dynasty！they were just like the group of barbarians, worse than livestock.

    Even the degree of hatred is far more than that of the Turkic barbarians.

    heTaking pleasure in killing people, they buried the people of Jinling City alive under the soil of blood;

    They bullied those old and weak women and children, they devoured those defenseless children alive!

    How could they tolerate such evil deeds!

    "Besieged on all sides, the heart of the army is lost, and the soldiers are separated." Gu Jiuling looked at Shen Xuan and opened her lips.

    Shen Ting was taken aback.

    Besieged on all sides

    After the discussion was over, Shen Cong sent Gu Jiuling back to the vicinity of the Gu family army he was leading, and returned to Shen Xuan's side.

    Shen Xuan ordered the accompanying soldiers to fetch two jars of spirits and handed one to Shen Cong.

    "Ah Cong, do you know when it will be in a few seasons?" She raised her head and drank a big gulp of strong wine, then sat on the sentry tower and looked to the south.

    There was a piece of dark, smoky ruins of the city.

    The faintly visible fire extinguishing point came from the enemy Japanese pirates they were about to kill.

    Once upon a time, Jinling City was brightly lit.

    Now it is a lot of vicissitudes.

    "It's the queen mother's birthday." Shen Cong also took a sip of wine, and his eyes were the same as the former one, reflecting the dilapidated Jinling City.

    "It's also A Cong's birthday." Shen Ting smiled, and suddenly stretched out her hand to caress the former's head, "Time flies. Our A Cong is as tall as my brother in the blink of an eye."

    Shen Cong was silent.

    That day was actually the Queen Mother's memorial day.

    "Over the years, I haven't given you any good birthday presents. Even last year when A Cong was crowned king, the emperor was never present. This year, the emperor gave you a good gift." Shen Ting grinned, her eyes kindly  It is harmonious with gentleness, and the red forehead band between the eyebrows is flying every now and then.

    Shen Cong's heart skipped a beat.

    For a moment, he suddenly wondered what gift his elder brother would give him.

    Not long after, His Royal Highness King Qin did know about the gift from his elder brother.

    But at that time, what he expected Shen Ting to give him was a person whose eyes were full of expectations for a peaceful and prosperous age, and whose eyes were always as warm as jade, and full of spirits

    Your Highness the Prince of Peace.

    Early the next morning, Shen Cong was about to return to Gu Jiuling's place, but suddenly received a secret message from Jin Yiwei, the Anbu of Miao Jiang.

    A cat ghost has appeared in Miaojiang, and has killed many villages. He is looking for a way to leave Miaojiang and go to Chang'an.

    If it wasn't for Jin Yiwei's timely control, the cat ghost may have arrived in Chang'an and joined the cat ghost king.

 Main Text Chapter 52 Enemies from the front and rear, Shen Ting's life is in danger (2)

    At that time, Shen Ting was counting troops, impassionedly speaking the oath to go to the army.

    Looking at the slender figure in battle armor on the high platform, Shen Cong suddenly hesitated.

    In fact, he wanted to be on the same battlefield as his brother, fight together, and protect the land under his feet.

    Suddenly, Shen Cong felt a gaze.

    He raised his eyes, facing Shen Yu's slightly smiling phoenix eyes, and the slightly squirming corners of his lips！

    "Ah Cong, do what you want to do, let the emperor set foot in such a dirty place like the battlefield."

    This sound was transmitted through the air, and it floated directly into Shen Cong's ears.

    Shen Cong's pupils trembled.

    yes´´

    Spells can transmit sound across thousands of miles.

    Brother Huangis he also a spiritual practitioner?

    "I heard that the former empress is also a spiritual practitioner."

    "Yes, I later admired the emperor, and then married into the Central Plains mansion."

    "That's true, otherwise, how could His Royal Highness the King of Qin be born able to practice and ask questions?"

    "" ""

    Suddenly recalling the rumors about his mother, Shen Cong slowly regained his surprise.

    It was his oversight.

    His imperial brother is so outstanding, how could he not inherit the cultivation physique of his mother.

    Looking at Shen Ting, Shen Cong bowed his head and bowed to him, then turned his head and stepped forward, bathed in a golden halo and left.

    Withdrawing the corner of her eyes, Shen Yu suddenly pulled out the red-tasseled long spear by her side, pointed straight to the direction, her gaze was as sharp as a goshawk: "All officers and men obey the order and follow the prince to go out!"

    A large army marched towards Jinling City, and arrived at the gate of the city within half a day.

    ? Two of the experienced veteran generals received Shen Ting's military order, and divided into two armies to surround the north and the south, forming an outflanking trend with Gu Jiuling and Shen Ting's army.

    The Japanese pirates in the city were all in fear, and Western cannons were placed around the barracks！for fear that the next moment, the group of lunatic Chinese soldiers would rush over and fight these fireworks with flesh and blood.

    Into the night.

    In the Japanese pirate barracks.

    General Fujiyama Junsuke held the samurai sword tightly in his hand, and stared darkly at a person who appeared in front of him who didn't know when.

    This man was dressed in a black robe with a ghost face, and a lazy black cat nestled on his shoulder.

    The black cat's green eyes are like a piece of clear jade, which is particularly eye-catching in the dark night.

    "Who are you?" Sensing the evil aura from the ghost-faced black robe, Fujiyama Junsuke broke out in a cold sweat on his back.  He tried to stay calm, and stared at the visitor warily.

    This jerky Central Plains dialect made the ghost-faced black robe unconsciously laugh.

    "Do you want to overthrow the Celestial Dynasty and let the Japanese pirate army step on their corpses and approach Chang'an?" He hugged the black cat, his voice was low and lazy, and it sounded a bit bewitching.

    Fujiyama intermediary was indeed bewitched.

    His eyes moved, but he still didn't let go of his vigilance: "This is my emperor's sacred wish-my Japanese army will set foot in Chang'an and destroy Huangchao!"

    "Set foot in Chang'an and destroy the Yellow Nest！" Chewing on these words, the ghost-faced black robe smiled fiercely, "Does the general need foreign aid?"

    "Are you a spy from the Celestial Dynasty?" Fujiyama intermediary frowned suddenly.

    "If you say yes, then yes. I just want to ask the general, do you want to destroy Chang'an and kill the future emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, Prince Shen Yu?" The ghost-faced black robe suddenly looked at the former with a loud smile.

    The smile seeping out of those deep eyes was very obvious, but it made Fujiyama intermediary feel as cold and biting as the twelfth lunar month and snowy weather outside.

    "This general naturally wants to capture Shen Ting, so as to take credit for returning to court. Of course, there is another son," Fujiyama nods his head, not hiding his murderous intent, "Dingguo Hou Gu Jiuling."

    If it weren't for Shen Ting and Na Laoshizi who were waiting for Gu Jiuling in the country, all the Japanese soldiers would have already fought to the Sichuan area.

    Just relying on those Western cannons alone, destroying the cavalry of the Celestial Dynasty and destroying the success of Chang'an must be a sure thing.

    When he thought that the army could go forward to the Central Plains one after another, Gu Jiuling used some method to blow up dozens of Western cannons he bought with a lot of money in the Japanese country, and cut off his way of reinforcements.

    Now, they are like fish waiting to be slaughtered.

    Just waiting for the person who gave the order to shout loudly and wave the knife.

    "I have a plan. I don't know if the general is willing to cooperate with this subordinate to counterattack in a desperate situation and kill Shen Xi?" He stroked the black cat in his arms, and the ghost-faced black robe raised his eyebrows.

    "But I heard the details." Seeing that he was harmless, Fujiyama intermediary slowly calmed down.  After thinking for a while, he raised his hand to signal the ghost-faced black robe.Continue to say the following.

    The ghost-faced black robe stroked the black cat again, but remained silent.

    Fujiyama intermediary frowned, and personally fetched sake from the Shikoku area, and filled it up for the ghost mask black robe and himself.

    "General's sincerity, I accept it with my heart." The ghost-faced black robe smiled slightly, and slowly bowed his head, "General, please listen to my words."

    He slowly squirmed the corners of his lips, expressing his plan.

    After listening to it, Fujiyama intermediary was shocked, and it took a while to find his voice！！

    "Absurd, really absurd!"

    The ghost-faced black robe's smile did not diminish, and the coldness in his smile also increased instead of diminishing.

    "As a matter of sincerity, I come to clear the way for the general."

    child time.

    All around Jinling City, loud and clear singing suddenly resounded.

    When the Japanese soldiers stationed in the city heard these euphemistic and long songs, they couldn't help being moved, and their eyes turned red.

    These are nursery rhymes.

    Moreover, these nursery rhymes all come from their hometown

    Wa country.

    The fire in Jinling City suddenly began to flicker, and flew away in all directions.

    Shen Ting stood on the sentry tower, looking at the flames in the distance, suddenly frowned.

    An ominous premonition vaguely appeared in his heart.

    I always feel something weird.

    "Boom!"

    At that time, there was a loud noise in front of him, pulling back his thoughts in an instant.

    "The Japanese pirates are attacking with foreign cannons! The whole army is on alert, ready to fight!"

    The drums of war in the army sounded, and all the soldiers quickly gathered in one place.

    Shen Ting hurriedly took off the Persian mirror on her waist and looked forward, and she really saw a dozen Western cannons in the front row, facing his corner, sparking and igniting.

    "Scatter! Outflank!" Shen Ting's heart skipped a beat, and with a loud roar, she jumped off the sentry tower, stepped onto the horse, took out the red-tasseled spear and rode the horse forward.

    "Boom!"

    There was another loud bang, and the flames of the foreign cannon blasted the guard fence of the Chinese barracks.

    The army of the Celestial Dynasty divided the two sides in an orderly manner, and attacked the flanks.

    The dozens of foreign cannons could not turn around, and the Japanese pirate soldiers manipulating the cannons were cut off by the cavalry who came suddenly, and their heads rolled to the ground immediately.

    The only way is that in an instant, gunpowder smoke fills the air, and blood is flying!

    "kill!"

    "kill!"

    I don't know who blew the horn, and the ancient melodious sound drew the blood in every soldier's heart！they raised their swords and rushed into the Japanese pirate soldiers desperately, disrupting their army formation with ferocity.

    The soldiers in front stood on the long knives, using their flesh and blood to open a way for the soldiers who came later.

    Shen Ting's royal horse fought among them, wherever the red-tasseled spear passed, the enemy's army would not be left behind!  </div&gt

 Main Text Chapter 53 Enemies from the front and rear, Shen Ting's life is in danger (3)

    ,

    To the east, the Gu family army camp.

    ?Gu Jiuling wore a white armor, and the imperial horse stood in front of the soldiers, looking at the rapidly spreading gunpowder smoke in the distance.

    He was waiting for the signal from His Royal Highness, so that he could go forward immediately to encircle the troops from the east and the west and kill the Japanese pirate army.

    Suddenly, a strange black air quickly passed by in the void.

    That is´´

    The evil spirit on the cat ghost?  !

    Sensitively capturing this strangeness, Gu Jiuling's pupils trembled, and the alarm bells rang in his heart.

    His Royal Highness is in danger!

    "All generals obey the order, follow me into Jinling City, and support the prince!" Pulling out the sword at his waist suddenly, Gu Jiuling stared at the front with a stern face, raised his voice loudly and opened his lips.

    "kill!"

    Gu Jiajun immediately drew his weapon, followed the young man on horseback, and rushed straight into the lifeless Jinling City.

    Here, after taking down a Japanese pirate general with one shot, Shen Yu discovered something strange about the enemy army.

    According to reliable reports from spies, there are at least 350,000 Japanese pirate soldiers.  Excluding those killed by them, there should be about 150,000 soldiers in the city.

    He led 100,000 soldiers and horses to besiege from the front, and looked roughly, but only saw tens of thousands of Japanese pirate soldiers.

    There are tens of thousands of Japanese pirate soldiers ambushing in the streets and alleys of the city!

    And looking at the posture of the Japanese pirate soldiers, it seems that they are retreating while fighting.

    They laid a net of heaven and earth, trying to put him to death for the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty!

    Shen Ting's gaze changed, and she immediately shouted loudly: "Be on guard, there is an ambush!"

    But it's too late.

    As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of artillery fire that resounded through the sky.

    Countless Chinese soldiers were blown to pieces, bloody and bloody.

    "There are Japanese pirate soldiers attacking from behind!"

    Immediately, several generals and some soldiers turned around and fought back.

    At that time, countless artillery fires flew in from afar, directly separating the head of the general who had been blown up, and blood flew all over the place.

    The soldiers didn't have time to cry and howl, whether they were injured or those who were still able to run, they took off their armor one after another, revealing the gunpowder tied to their bodies.

    It turned out that these were all nefarious schemes negotiated by Shen Ting and Gu Jiuling！when faced with an absolute crisis, the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty voluntarily tied up thunderbolts and bombed Western cannons with their flesh and blood, smashing the Japanese pirate island nation's dream of pacifying the Central Plains.

    Not only those soldiers, but also Gu Jiuling and even Shen Xuan were all strapped with Hong Tianlei.

    Dedicated to the country, no regrets even though death!

    But I hope that there will be peace in the world, and there will be no more battles in the Central Plains!

    "With our flesh and blood, we will open the way for the prosperity of Chang'an!"

    "Although I die, I will die with no regrets!"

    The soldiers roared, and under the beating of the horn, they rushed forward with all their strength！the comrades in front were blown to pieces by the foreign cannons, but they still had no fear, and they rushed to the enemy with dust and blood foam all over their bodies.  in front of you.

    The gunpowder on the foreign cannon became their best igniter. Seeing the fire folder slipped with one hand, countless Chinese soldiers exploded to death under the horrified eyes of the Japanese pirates.

    Along with the destruction, there were also those foreign cannons that Westerners claimed to be the work of God.

    The Japanese pirate soldiers who came behind were shocked when they saw the fearless and righteous expressions in the eyes of the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty.

    These lunatics, these desperate lunatics!

    In order to stop the foreign artillery, they are willing to die generously, and they are willing to let themselves be smashed to pieces-if the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty were not enemies of the Japanese pirate army, I am afraid that at this moment they would all admire these heroic soldiers because of their samurai spirit  .

    "Keep going, the archers are ready!" The general withdrew his sighing and shocking gaze, pursed the corners of his lips, and swung the samurai sword in his hand resolutely forward.

    All the foreign cannons had been destroyed by the Chinese soldiers, and the remaining ones were also on the battlefield, guarded tightly by a group of Chinese soldiers！they couldn't sneak up on them, and the lunatics had already turned their eyes red.

    The Japanese pirate soldiers in the rear changed their formation and let the archers come forward.

    "Release the arrows!" Following the order of the Japanese pirate general, thousands of arrows rained against the bright moonlight, polished the sky, and flew towards the army of the Celestial Dynasty.

    "Arrow rain is coming, shield!"

    "Protect His Highness the Crown Prince!"

    After all, the army of the Celestial Dynasty was well-trained, and the shield soldiers quickly raised their shields, approached Shen Ting, and quickly surrounded him.

    And those celestial dynasties guarding the foreign cannonsAll the soldiers were killed by arrows.

    The Japanese pirates took advantage of the situation and ran to step on the corpses of the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty, and once again set up the foreign cannons on the battlefield, attacking the army of the Celestial Dynasty with fierce flames.

    "Boom!"

    A loud bang resounded in the city of Jinling that had been razed to the ground by the Japanese pirates.

    After all, the shield was hard to block the fire and shells, but in an instant, the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty in the front row were killed into ashes between the heaven and the earth, leaving only pieces of blood foam, with the shattered armor falling down profusely.

    Such a heroic scene stunned Shen Ting, as well as Gu Jiuling who came behind.

    "All generals obey the order, kill!" After closing his eyes, Gu Jiuling suddenly opened them, raised his sword and shouted loudly, and slammed his horse into the enemy army behind the Japanese pirates, and ran straight to Fujiyama Intermediary.

    A horn sounded, and Gu Jiajun followed in an orderly manner.

    "Shoot the arrows, let the arrows go!" Fujiyama's intermediary, who had seen how terrifying Gu's army was, suddenly panicked, and hurriedly directed the troops here to turn around and head towards Gu Jiuling.

    At that time, the northern and southern armies came again, and each joined one side to start a counterattack.

    Here, Gu Jiuling drove straight in all the way, killing the Japanese pirate army and fleeing.

    As for Shen Ting, because of the blessing of foreign cannons, she never gained the upper hand.

    This time, the Japanese pirates learned cleverly - the group of artillerymen hid behind the archers, and the archers hid behind the infantry.

    When the infantry stepped forward to charge into battle, the archers released a rain of poisoned arrows, shooting forward regardless of friend or foe.

    The same is true for artillery.

    The artillery fire one after another bombarded and killed the infantry on both sides regardless of friend or foe.

    This was a brutal melee.

    The soldiers on Shen Ting's side are being consumed rapidly.

    Seeing the artillery approaching each other step by step,

    "Your Highness, there is still a baby at the end of the family. Please tell the end of the dynasty that his father is not a bear. His father died generously for the country!"

    A general next to him suddenly made a hasty bow to Shen Ting, then took off his heavy armor, rolled away from the protection of the shield soldiers, quickly grabbed the thunderbolts on the broken corpses on both sides, and then jumped on the horse.

    The general slapped the horse's back with one palm, ignited the thunderbolt, and slapped the horse's buttocks hard.

    The horse was frightened, and with a long neigh, it rushed towards the Japanese pirate army ahead.

    The rain of arrows all over the sky struck again.

    The general was shot with dozens of arrows in his chest, and one of his eye sockets was pierced！he showed no signs of panic, spat out blood from the corners of his mouth, laughed wildly and rushed towards the artillerymen in front.

    "Woven bandit barbarian, get hit by your grandpa!"

    "Boom!"

    A loud noise exploded from the front, and the blood-colored dust in the sky made Shen Xi's eyes turn red.

    "Kill!" Shen Ting grabbed the shield from the corpse next to her, stood up and rushed forward.

    ?That loud roar that burst out from the jaw, angered the heart and lungs, but it drove the blood of every soldier.

 Main Text Chapter 54 Enemies from the front and rear, Shen Ting's life is in danger (4)

    Some who were not afraid of death, like the general, shouted the names of their family members, and then threw down their shields and heavy armor one after another, and rushed towards the Japanese pirates ahead with thunder.

    Blood and gunpowder smoke occupied the entire Jinling City.

    When beheading the last soldier, Gu Jiuling was drenched in blood, unable to hide his hostility.

    With a cold face, he came to Fujiyama Junsuke, raised the long sword in his body, and pointed at the latter's chin.

    "Say, what kind of deal did you make with the owner of the cat ghost? Why did the pirate soldiers quietly run outside Jinling City?" Gu Jiuling's eyes sharpened, and the long sword sank into the skin, and blood oozes instantly.

    Fujiyama intermediary looked up, looking at the eyes of the blood-soaked boy.

    It's so clean, but it's frighteningly cold.

    He is obviously only a teenager, but he has a unique maturity！as if he has experienced many battles.

    Really

    It's strange.

    "He is a miraculous native from the Central Plains. He used spells to clear the way for our Japanese army, and prepared to kill the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty by surprise." Somehow, maybe his death was imminent, but Fujiyama intermediary let go of his fear,  Opening his lips with a frank and fearless smile, "Shen Xuan, I must die."

    Although he was smiling, the smile didn't reach his eyes - looking at him like this, he was almost indistinguishable from the ghost-faced black robe.

    Gu Jiuling squinted his eyes, raised the knife directly, chopped off the head of Fujiyama intermediary, and threw him to Gu Jiajun behind him.

    "Support the crown prince, be sure to protect the crown prince's safety!" Then he jumped on the royal horse and left, leaving only these words in a hurry.

    ?After a fierce battle just now, everyone present lost a lot of physical strength.

    Even so, the Gu family army still did not flinch - those soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty are also their compatriots.

    They took another step, followed Gu Jiuling's back, and rushed to the west of Jinling City.

    The Japanese army has been driven out of Jinling City by these lunatic soldiers from the Celestial Dynasty, retreating all the way to the Qinhuai River.

    Shen Ting's eyes were completely reddened.

    He led his army in pursuit, and chased to the Qinhuai River, where he confronted the Japanese pirates to the death.

    "Your Highness, their foreign cannons have been completely destroyed by the generals with their flesh and blood!"

    "Your Highness, the Japanese soldiers have no bows and arrows!"

    "Your Highness, we still have five thousand heavy cavalry!"

    "" ""

    Listening to the continuous reports from the soldiers, Shen Ting didn't have the joy and pride of winning a battle at all.

    On the contrary, his heart was filled with heavy sadness.

    This war was won by him, the living soldiers, in exchange for flesh and blood.

    Both sides suffered heavy losses, and countless corpses could be seen criss-crossing every step.

    Some have missing arms and legs, and some have been bombed so that only part of the skull remains.

    Shen Ting slowly clenched her teeth.

    "All generals obey the order, kill the Japanese pirates! No one will be left behind!" Suddenly, the blood-stained Crown Prince raised his red-tasseled spear in his hand and shouted loudly.

    "kill!"

    The soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty did not want to spare the lives of the Japanese pirates！the behavior of the Japanese pirates had already made them gnash their teeth.

    Now, because of those Raoshiziyang cannons, the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty went forward one after another, clearing the way for the soldiers who came later with their flesh and blood.

    They are not ruthless people, how can they watch their compatriots die without much emotion in their hearts!

    So, when Shen Ting gave the order, the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty raised their weapons one after another and rushed forward to fight.

    A Japanese pirate general standing at the forefront smiled coldly: "Shen Yu, you have been tricked."

    He waved his hand and shouted, "Fire the arrow!"

    Suddenly hundreds of archers climbed out of the Qinhuai River, drew their bows and strings with lightning speed, and released a rain of arrows all over the sky.

    "There is an ambush! Protect His Royal Highness the Prince!"

    But it was too late.

    In the terrified eyes of the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty, dozens of long arrows pierced into Shen Xuan's chest.

    Shen Ting's figure suddenly froze in place.

    His pupils suddenly widened.

    Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Shen Ting fell back straight.

    "Boom!"

    This statement was extremely light and light, and when it fell to the ears of all the soldiers, it became extremely clear and loud.

    And extraordinarily heavy.

    "Your Highness!" Gu Jiuling rushed over, seeing Shen Ting who fell to the ground, his gaze changed drastically.

    same as hereAt that moment, the anger in his heart soared rapidly.

    The herd, the herd!

    "The Gu family army obeys the order and kills the Japanese pirates, regardless of the remaining soldiers, leaving no one behind!" After finishing speaking, Gu Jiuling jumped into the Japanese pirate army, swung the long sword in his hand and slashed at the Japanese pirate army rushing towards them in all directions.

    The Gu family army and the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty went into battle together, blocked the rain of arrows with their shields, and went straight to the Qinhuai River!

    Shen Ting propped up the spear in her hand, suppressing the severe pain in her heart, and slowly stood up.

    He looked ahead, and in his blurred vision, he vaguely saw a group of soldiers wearing red square scarves cheering and galloping towards him.

    Fighting I won.

    Finally the battle was won.

    They guarded the soil under their feet, and they guarded the southern border.

    ?Father, you always say that your ministers treat enemies generously.

    You always say that your ministers are not decisive, and you cannot follow the Shen family's family precepts and guard the country with the body of the emperor.

    This time

    "Erchen did it！！"

    Shen Ting looked sideways again, looking at Miao Jiang from a distance.

    There is where his younger brother is.

    A Cong, the gift this time is a slice from Brother Huang

    "The land of the Central Plains in southern Xinjiang where the Invincible Army set foot！" A smile slowly formed on Shen Yu's lips.

    When he laughed, strands of blood gushed out from between his lips and teeth, dripping down in strings.

    At that time, a gust of wind hit, blowing the young man's dirty black hair.

    Shen Ting, Mu Feng, fell on her back again.

    This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was admired by the people of the Heavenly Dynasty, no longer had the strength to stand up.

    When Gu Jiuling arrived, Shen Ting was already furious.

    He slowly squatted down, ready to pull out the long arrow on Shen Xi's body.

    Shen Ting's eyes rolled slightly, and there seemed to be a sound in her throat.

    He didn't want to waste his strength

    Gu Jiuling pursed her lips in silence, and finally stopped slowly.

    "Your Majesty Please pass the secret letter behind the plaque in the Eastern Palace to A Cong" A familiar voice suddenly entered Gu Jiuling's ears.

    Gu Jiuling's eyes shook.

    Your Highness is he a spiritual practitioner?  !

    "Tell Sanniang that Yunjican't grow old with her in this life, I hope she will cherish it！"

    Suddenly, Shen Ting's chest heaved violently, and a burst of light burst out in her eyes.

    He stretched out his hand vigorously and grabbed Gu Jiuling's sleeve robe.

    "Shen Ting lived up to the glory of the royal family, and indeed failed the people of southern Xinjiang. Especially Jinling Mancheng！" This sound came out of her mouth, and Shen Ting fell heavily to the ground again.

    He looked up at the sky.

    At dawn, it was snowing heavily.

    In a trance, the gentle woman who clung to his hand and always held him and looked at the northern desert seemed to appear before her eyes again.

    "Ah Tzu, hurry to Mother's side. It's snowing, and Mother will cover our little Ah Tzu's hands."

    Shen Ting heard it.

    He heard the woman's kind smile.

    It's the queen mother

    Are youhave you come to pick up the minister?

    The son-in-law went with his mother, and followed his mother to see the northern desert.

    Go and see, the hometown of the queen mother.

    Shen Ting smiled, and slowly closed her eyes.  </div&gt

 Main Text Chapter 55

    A tear rolled down from the corner of his eye.

    The battlefield was silent, and there was no more hustle and bustle.

    The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

    Gu Jiuling bowed his head three times to the son in front of him, then hugged him horizontally, his eyes were indifferent and calm.

    "The order passed on, the crown prince was hit by an arrow, and Yu Yinshi died for the country."

    After the sound went on, all the officers and men fell to their knees with mournful expressions on their faces, and performed the great gift of a monarch and minister from the bottom of their hearts, respectfully sending off the prince who failed to see the prosperity of Chang'an.

    Your Highness, have a good trip！！

    Not far away, there stood quietly a young man wearing a black gauze hat and a black robe.

    He stood still, his eyes reflected the kneeling generals and Gu Jiuling who was slowly walking towards him.

    And, His Royal Highness the prince with his arms hanging in his arms.

    This young master's face is very similar to Shen Yu's, the only difference is the demeanor of the two.

    It turned out that it was Shen Cong who came.

    After arriving in Miaojiang, Shen Congcai and the Anbu Jinyiwei quelled the rioting cat ghost, and felt a sharp pain in his heart.

    Immediately there was a strange and incomparably uneasy feeling.

    Shen Cong immediately twirled his fingers to deduce, and then saw the beacon fire all over the sky, and Shen Ting lying in a pool of blood.

    Shocked, Shen Cong hurried to Jinling.

    But after all, it was long overdue.

    "Shen Yunzheit's because I didn't protect His Highness well." Gu Jiuling stopped in front of Shen Cong, lowered her eyes and said softly.

    "I don't blame you, you did your best！for the sake of the southern border, you all did your best." Hugging Shen Ting, who was still warm, Shen Cong saw the long arrow on his chest, and his eyes moved.

    Those long arrows suddenly turned into fluorescent lights and scattered.

    Shen Cong looked at the northern border with calm eyes, as if he couldn't see a ray of sadness.

    However, his voice was extremely hoarse and deep！！

    "Brother Huang, I will take you home."

    According to historical records, in 1655 AD, the eleventh year of Emperor Jingyuan of the Tian Dynasty, on the ninth day of the first lunar month！！

    ?Prince Shen Ting, together with Gu Jiuling, Marquis of Dingguo, led the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty and the Gu family army, fought hard to kill the enemy soldiers of the Japanese pirates, and finally wiped them out on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

    The corpses piled up in the river, the river was blocked, and the blood stained for a hundred days continued.

    In the next few years, all the fish in the Qinhuai River had human bones in their stomachs.

    ?The army was victorious, Shen Ting was poisoned by a poisoned arrow, died in Yinshi, died heroically for the country, and died at the age of four.

    ? Qin Wang Shen Cong came in person, together with Gu Jiuling, led the army back to the court.

    The bad news spread across the Central Plains, and Emperor Jing Yuan was deeply saddened, and ordered a national funeral for Prince Shen Xuan.

    Throughout the whole country, white silk hangs high, and it will die in January.

    On the seventh day in the middle of the first lunar month, the prince was buried in the coffin and buried in Shengling, posthumously titled Zhanghuai.

    On this day, the sky was dark and boundless, and there was heavy snow in the void.

    On this day, the residents of Chang'an, all civil and military officials, and even Emperor Jing Yuan came to see off the sleeping Highness.

    Wearing hemp and filial piety, Shen Xiao walked quietly at the head of the funeral procession, holding Shen Ting's tombstone.

    On both sides of the red sandalwood hall, there are Shen Cong and Shen Chao Fuling, whose eyes are red from crying！the two of them follow behind Shen Xiaoshi.  Gu Jiuling and a group of soldiers followed behind those two again.

    Looking at Shen Xiaoshi's thin and thin back, Shen Cong's eye sockets gradually turned red.

    When he returned to Chang'an that day with the corpse of the emperor's brother, his sister-in-law fainted several times from crying, and even became pregnant-if the imperial physician hadn't been called in time, the only child of the emperor's brother might not have been saved.

    In the past few days, Shen Xiao seldom rested, and kept guarding in the mourning hall.

    She always said that Shen Yu's soul is still alive.

    Shen Cong and Song Cheng discussed, and before Shen Yu's first seven days left, he summoned his soul and met with Shen Xiaoshi.

    Shen Ting softly comforted Shen Xiaoshi who was crying so hard, and looked at Shen Cong with a smile.

    "A Cong, my brother is going to the underworld. Take good care of your sister-in-law for my brother. My brother will bless you and the people in heaven."

    After saying this, his soul was slowly taken away by the two messengers who rushed over.

    After that, Shen Xiao never smiled again.

    The mighty team arrived at Shengling, and everyone stopped.

    The coffin was buried in the ground for a deep burial, and everyone mourned in silence.

    Shen Cong looked at the newly erected tombstone, and slowly clenched his fists.

    Brother Huang, let A Cong assist your nephew to fulfill the grand plans and wishes in your heart.

    It turned out that Shen Cong had figured out early in the morning that the child in Shen Xiao's womb, is a baby boy - he is Shen Ting's only child, and also the only grandson of Emperor Jing Yuan.

    After the team dispersed, Shen Xiao followed Shen Cong back and went straight to the East Palace.

    Shen Cong remembered what Gu Jiuling had told him on Shen Ting's behalf, took down a secret letter from behind the plaque in the East Palace, stepped out, and returned to Qin Palace in a golden halo.

    Yunzhai is in the middle.

    Shen Cong read the letter at night by candlelight.

    "Ah Cong personally said！！

    I am originally the mountain spirit of Mobei in Dajiang, and after condensing and forming, I often live in the mountains.  He met Yun Qing many years ago, married him, settled in Central Plains, and gave birth to two sons, A Zhen and A Cong.  As the heir apparent, Ah Yuan is not allowed to have both fish and bear's paws.  Therefore, my relatives conferred the spirit veins of Ah Yu, and let him become the way of the king.

    Shan Ling was born to be able to see everything in the world, pushing the past to the future.  When A Cong was still in his womb, I watched the sky and deduced the fate of my son A Cong.  Has the appearance of spiritual cultivation, and the appearance of a great emperor.  The next sixteen years will be nothing special, and the noble person he meets sixteen years later will help A Cong turn his dangers into fortunes and soar all the way to the sky.

    The celestial dynasty is full of ups and downs, and all fate is in the hands of those few people.  I can't give away too many secrets, but I will mention one or two.  Civil and military double songs are all in the Central Plains.  After visiting the thatched cottage three times, he was ordered to go out of the mountain.  Although heaven is jealous of talent, it will determine the world.

    I know that monsters go their own way, which makes Chang Tian furious.  Therefore, the end is approaching, and I will go when Ah Cong comes.

    The land where I was born, there are evil spirits stationed in the northern desert, so I don't have to go there unless it's urgent.

    I'm about to start writing, I think that A Cong was born different, and he was blessed with foreign objects to keep his life.  The fate of the heavenly kingdom, the fate of the princes, are all predestined.  "

    After reading the letter, Shen Cong raised his eyes to look at the snow falling outside the window, and remained silent for a long time.

    The queen mother knew early in the morning that he was from another world, and also counted the fate of the emperor's brother and herself early in the morning.

    It turned out that she was actually a mountain spirit.

    At such a moment, Shen Cong suddenly wanted to go to the northern Xinjiang desert to see the hometown of his mother.

    But thinking of the monster mentioned in the letter, Shen Cong calmed down slowly.

    Now is not the right time, when the prosperity of Chang'an comes and the dust settles, he will definitely set foot in the hinterland of the desert and visit the hometown of his mother.

    Shen Cong folded the envelope, carefully put it into the system space, and began to review the paperwork overnight.

    Hearing the sad news of Shen Ting that day, Emperor Jing Yuan hurt his heart and lungs, vomited a mouthful of blood, and passed out.  There is no one to deal with the political affairs in the court, and all the princes are guarding the four directions. The only one who is still in Chang'an after being crowned king is Shen Cong, His Highness King Qin who worshiped Jin Yiwei.

    Although in a few days, the second prince Shen Jue, King of Chu, and the third prince Shen Lin, King Qi will return from the frontier in accordance with the imperial decree, and come to assist Emperor Jing Yuan in controlling the government - but Shen Cong is the only one who handles political affairs right now.

    So after deliberation by hundreds of officials, the memorial was stuffed into the Qin Palace.  </div&gt

 Main Text Chapter 56 Going to Miaojiang Again and Seeing Chen Xin Again

    Shen Cong finished reading the excerpt, rubbed the center of his brows, and took a nap with his eyes closed by the candlelight.

    At this time, a light knock on the door suddenly came.

    "Who?" Shen Cong gently opened his lips, hiding a trace of fatigue between his brows.

    "It's me." A deep male voice sounded from outside.

    It's Gu Jiuling.

    Shen Cong snapped his fingers, and a golden formation suddenly appeared on the wooden door.  The magic circle flickered and then disappeared without a trace.

    After two creaks, the wooden door opened inward by itself.  The white shadow outside, reflected the moonlight and walked in.

    "Investigating the cat ghost case with Mr. Song during the day, and refining the demon pill at night, Gu Anxian, who is so busy, is free to come and find me for a drink today?" Shen Cong raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the flagon in his hand.

    "I know you are not feeling well, so you broke the precept today." Gu Jiuling handed over the jug.

    Shen Cong took it and found that the pot of wine was warm.

    Just now, Gu Anxian has been warming the wine?

    "You and I are still keeping our filial piety, so it's better not to be addicted to alcohol." Putting the jug into the Qiankun bag, Shen Cong shook his head slightly.

    "Master Song has a decree. The King of Chu and King Qi of the Ming Dynasty will return to Beijing, and I order you to go to Miaojiang to investigate the case of the cat ghost. I will go with you."  Tang took out a roll of secret scroll and handed it to the former.

    Shen Cong reached out to take the secret shaft, then opened the candle to have a look, then put it away and nodded to him: "Got it."

    He got up and ordered the shadow guards in the mansion to send all the memorials into the palace, then looked at Gu Jiuling, hesitated for a moment and said: "Gu Jia Anxian, there are Gu everywhere around Miaojiang, it is very dangerous, you should not follow me."

    "Shen Yunzhe, I'm only a small level away from your cultivation level." Gu Jiuling squinted at the former, "Furthermore, my father also taught me some techniques to kill Gu insects that can save me."

    "It's really a genius to decide the country first." Shen Cong smacked his tongue, his eyes moved suddenly, and he nodded and smiled, "Okay, you will go to Miaojiang with me in the Ming Dynasty."

    Gu Jiuling nodded and stepped out of Yunzhaiju, always feeling that something was wrong.

    All of a sudden, he felt a breath of spells wafting from the room.

    That is´´

    Gu Jiuling's gaze changed, and he turned his head abruptly, facing the wide open door, and

    That fleeting golden halo.

    Gu Jiuling: ""

    After a lot of Shen Yunzhe, he turned his head and left, but this guy turned around and went to Miao Jiang.

    Forget it, let's stay in Chang'an City.

    Looking at the empty Yunzhaiju, Gu Jiuling felt worried.

    Since ancient times, Miaojiang has been the place where witchcraft came out, among which the art of Gu insects is the most prosperous.

    The child-mother Gu in the cat ghost case is just as Shen Cong said, it came from Miaojiang.

    In the past, there was a change in Miaojiang, and it happened that Gu Yuanjia was ordered to lead an army to recover the northern area of ??Yunnan, so he went to suppress the change in Miaojiang.

    Gu Jiuling deeply remembers the scenes he saw in Miaojiang back then.

    Those corpse-like puppets hanging at the door are still fresh in his memory.

    Gathering his thoughts, Gu Jiuling sighed, turned his head and returned to Wuwang Pavilion.

    Shen Yunzhe, don't return home like a prince.

    At the beginning of Yinshi.

    Along the border of Miaojiang.

    A figure in a state of embarrassment staggered forward on the small slope using lightness kung fu.

    And behind him, hundreds of cat ghosts followed.

    This figure was wearing a bamboo hat, and his brocade robe was scratched to pieces, with blood oozing from many places.

    At a certain moment, the figure turned around suddenly, the sleeves fluttered, and dozens of poisoned silver needles flew out suddenly, piercing into the bodies of the cat ghosts who were chasing after them.

    The cat ghost who had been poisoned fell down screaming and turned into a puddle of powder！then the pulverized powder squirmed, and more cat ghosts sprang out, shaking off the dust on their bodies, bowing their backs and continuing to rush towards the figure with their companions.

    The figure was taken aback for a moment, then gasped.

    Are all these poisons useless?  !

    He no longer hesitated, and continued to fly forward using lightness kung fu.

    At that time, a ray of golden light flew from in front of the figure, turned into a filament and settled behind him.

    The filaments seemed soft, but they forcibly blocked the cat ghost behind the guy！once the cat ghost touched the golden filament, it would instantly turn into fine powder and disperse without giving birth to another one.

    The group of cat ghosts stopped and arched their backs high.

    The pair of scarlet cat pupils stared coldly at a black figure that suddenly appeared.

    This person is wearing a black flying fish robe and a black hat on his head.He wears a hat and holds a dragon bone fan with jade face in his hand.  He stood on the top of the tree with one foot and looked down lightly.

    It was Shen Cong who came.

    "Chen Xin, the five outstanding devils who have always been so good at light work, will end up in such a mess?" Shen Cong stepped forward with a single step, and landed suddenly in a golden halo, facing the group of cats and ghosts.

    There was a smile in the corner of his eye, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

    It turned out that this guy was Chen Xin.

    As for why Shen Cong called him the Five Heroes Devil, it was all because not long ago, the secret door newly designated the Five Heroes of the Central Plains based on the leading disciples of the younger generation.

    The merchant Ling Junhan, the conspirator Su Bai, the warrior Gu Jiuling, the ghost Chen Xin, the spirit

    It is him.

    In fact, his cultivation base is not high, and the secret door probably because of his royal status, put him, a low-ranking person, into it, standing side by side with those real leaders.

    As for Chen Xin the son of this ghost should match him.

    He is cunning, like a jade-faced fox.

    Just like now.

    "Your Highness?" Chen Xin recognized Shen Cong, and he was overjoyed immediately, he grinned and cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness, you hit first, I'll go first."

    After all, he used lightness kung fu and disappeared in place after a few jumps.

    Shen Cong twitched his lips.

    He shouldn't take over this stall, he should let the cat ghost bite him a few bites.

    It turned out that Shen Cong deduced just now that Chen Xin came to Miaojiang because he fell in love with a local treasure - but the treasure was not stolen, and he used dirty tricks to seriously injure several Miaojiang people who were guarding there.

    The patriarch was furious, so he sacrificed the cat ghost to chase and kill Chen Xin.

    So there was this scene.

    It really deserves it.

    Forget it, these cat ghosts are not good things at all.

    Encountering him can only be regarded as bad luck for them.

    Concentrating his thoughts, a murderous look suddenly burst out from the corner of Shen Cong's eyes.

    He put away his folding fan, slapped the ground with one palm, and shouted in a low voice: "We are approaching the formation, come!"

    It's just that in an instant, countless filaments of golden light flew out from under the palm that was an inch above the ground-the golden light rushed to the cat ghost's body with lightning speed, forming a huge formation.

    The cat ghosts realized that something was wrong, and turned their heads to flee.

    Perseveringly, the golden wires erected in front spread to all directions, and instantly turned into a net of heaven and earth, enveloping the group of cats and ghosts.

    "Take it!" Shen Cong made a seal with both hands, and drank again.

    The law follows what you say.

    "Boom!"

    After the dazzling light exploded here along with the terrifying loud noise, this corner fell into complete silence.

    Ignoring the series of reward reports that sounded in his mind, Shen Cong raised his eyes and looked into the distance.

    At Yin time in winter, the sky should be as white as a fish belly.

    However, Miao Jiang was still completely dark.

    Even, there is an obvious cold and evil spirit floating in the void.

    Shen Cong quietly clenched his fists.

    This time, he must get rid of that old monster!  </div&gt

 Main Text Chapter 57 Old things, ancient Miao tricks (1)

    Chen Xin ran to the entrance of a cave, panted for breath, collected himself, looked around vigilantly, and then walked quickly inside.

    At first, the outside was full of dust, as if no one had entered it for a long time.

    After the four directions had escaped into darkness, Chen Xin rubbed the wall and pressed on a depression, and suddenly there was a clicking sound in front of him.

    He hurriedly polished the torch on his waist and walked inside.

    This is a hidden stone cave, with countless night pearls hanging on the stone walls on both sides to illuminate the place.

    Along the way, there are gold and silver treasures everywhere. If some knowledgeable people are present, they will be able to recognize many treasures lost in the previous dynasty.

    Chen Xin extinguished the fire and took out a round bead from his sleeve robe.

    At first glance, this bead looks ordinary, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that there is a thread of blood in the center of the bead, and the blood thread gradually blooms into the shape of a flower under the light.

    "The Bead of RebirthI really found it" Chen Xin looked at it carefully, his eyes gradually becoming dazed.

    "Unexpectedly, you are really like the rumors, and there are treasures everywhere." At that time, a lazy and deep voice suddenly came from behind someone.

    Chen Xin's eyelids twitched, he suddenly turned his head to look, and met Shen Cong's playful eyes.

    "Your Highness?" Chen Xin subconsciously hid the beads in his hand behind his back.

    "The reputation of stealing is serious enough to be punished with capital punishment." Shen Cong seemed to be staring at Chen Xin intently, but he was actually looking at the treasure cave from the corner of his eye.

    Many of them are rare treasures.

    This Chen Xin really lived up to the name of a great thief, stealing wherever he went.

    "Master, this is called stealing from the rich and giving to the poor." Chen Xin suppressed his panic, and grinned nonchalantly.

    "The Pearl of Rebirth is an evil thing, you can't keep it." Shen Cong restrained his expression, and opened his lips lightly.

    "Can't it bring people back to life? How could it be an evil thing?!" Chen Xin held the Pearl of Rebirth in his arms like a treasure, and shook his head desperately, with a look of madness on his face like a crown jade.

    Shen Cong didn't talk nonsense with him, he stepped out and hit someone's acupoint, and then snatched the past life pearl.

    "Shen Cong, you are too deceitful!" Seeing that the baby was taken away, Chen Xin became anxious.

    However, he couldn't move, he could only watch helplessly as the Boundless Pearl falling into Shen Cong's hand.

    Raising his eyebrows, Shen Cong suddenly reached out and wrote a rune in the void, and then wiped it on Chen Xin's eyes.

    "Open your eyes and take a closer look, whether it is an evil or a treasure."

    Chen Xin felt a sharp pain in his eyes. He hurriedly opened his eyes to look, but saw strands of black yin qi wafting from the body of the Past Life Pearl, which looked particularly terrifying and evil.

    this´´

    Knowing that Shen Cong is a human being, he will never deceive himself for a treasure.

    But when Chen Xin saw those Yin Qi, his heart suddenly turned cold.

    The ancient book is a lie, the pearl of rebirth

    is also deceptive.

    "Bringing the dead back to life is an act against the heavens. Throughout the ages, there has been no one who has been brought back to life. To be born in the world, you must follow the laws of the world. If you violate the laws, the consequences you will get are far beyond what you can afford. If one person makes a mistake, all descendants will be humiliated.  "Shen Cong suddenly put the Past Life Bead into a black Qiankun bag, and unlocked Chen Xin's acupoints.

    Chen Xin lowered his eyes, with a complex look on his face.

    He knows all this, he knows it all.

    However, if there is no resurrection technique in the world, he will not be able to accomplish that.

    "I see, thank you for waking up, Your Highness." With a long sigh, Chen Xin raised his eyes and gave a wry smile.

    Shen Cong patted him on the shoulder, remained silent for a moment, and said slowly: "I came to Miaojiang in the past to search for immortals and asked questions, and I almost fell into the trick of this pearl of rebirth, which made me fall into a place of eternal doom."

    Chen Xin was taken aback.

    By the way, it was written in the handbook of the secret door.

    ? In the past, King Shen Cong of the Qin Dynasty was searching for immortals in Miaojiang, and when he met the heir of Miaojiang's trickery, he almost died in southern Xinjiang.

    "The year before I joined Jinyiwei, I heard that there were immortal families in Miaojiang, so I planned to search for immortals, ponder the traces they left, and gain opportunities."  Said slowly.

    It was Lie Xia that year, and after he heard about the traces of the Xian family, he deduced that there was indeed such a thing, so he immediately went to Miaojiang at every turn.

    It happened that He Qi was traveling, so he brought a few shadow guards with him.

    When he arrived in Miaojiang, he thought that what he saw was a book.The picturesque beauty of Jiangshan.

    Not so.

    Living on a high mountain, as far as the eye can see, there is endless darkness everywhere, evil spirits are everywhere in the void, and it looks scary and gloomy.

    It was clearly midsummer, but all of them were shivering from the cold.

    Perhaps because of his youthful heart, he was unwilling to come here in vain, but wanted to go down the mountain to see the nearby village.

    But he didn't want to go this way and ruin the lives of all the shadow guards.

    In the village, the doors and windows of every household are tightly closed, white curtains are hung on the door, and the inscription in the middle of the wreath in the courtyard in front of the door is particularly eye-catching.

    This looks like a funeral.

    It's just weird that there is a wooden coffin in every courtyard.

    A yellow talisman was affixed to one part of the coffin, and it stood facing north from south.

    According to the feng shui of the village, the placement of these coffins is simply the best choice - and it is extremely easy to absorb Yin Qi and feed zombies.

    He felt something was wrong, so he lurked at the gate of the village with a group of shadow guards.

    When the night is neutron, the yin energy is at its peak.

    He was a little drowsy at first, when there was a strange ringing bell in the village.

    "Hundred ghosts walk at night, strangers make way！"

    A gloomy cry sounded from a distance.

    Then they saw the coffin jumping together, and one after another rotten cats ran out of it, walking stiffly and slowly towards the center of the village.

    The rows of bloody footprints left along the way are particularly shocking.

    "I said, Your Highness, you are not so stupid as to follow, are you? Any idiot knows that something is wrong." Chen Xin couldn't help interrupting Shen Cong's memory when he heard this.

    "Yes. Because I smell the blood of Shen's royal family." Shen Cong nodded, and his eyes deepened slightly when he mentioned this.

    Now that I think about it, the blood of the Shen family on those cat ghosts seems to belong to the one from the Hall of Acacia.

    But without conclusive evidence, he is not sure.

    Chen Xin was startled, and he felt that he had heard something secret, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.

    It's a good thing to talk about is His Royal Highness King Qin, if it is someone else, maybe he will have to explain here.

    "Then what happened afterwards, how did His Highness survive? Was he hunted down by the Miao people like me?" Chen Xin asked unconsciously, filled with curiosity.

    "have."

    Several shadow guards realized that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly used secret methods to summon a few Anbu Jinyi guards nearby, and then walked towards the center of the village along the cat's footprints.

    In the center is an altar.

    The fire on the altar was crackling, and an ancient bronze coffin next to it was particularly eye-catching.  </div&gt

 Main Text Chapter 58 Old things, ancient Miao tricks (2)

    The ancient bronze coffin was already very old, and under the bright moonlight, there was a faint layer of bleak light on it.

    When they approached the altar, the hundreds of lines on the ancient bronze coffin suddenly gurgled blood, pooling in the groove in the center of the coffin.

    The coffin lid suddenly opened and closed violently, and bursts of black evil energy visible to the naked eye burst out of the coffin and scattered in all directions.

    At a certain moment, the lid of the bronze coffin was suddenly lifted, and a terrifying and violent aura flew out of the coffin, sweeping all directions with a hurricane from nowhere.

    "Several brocade guards and shadow guards protected me tightly. Even though I tried my best to resist with formations, I could still smell the pungent rancid stench deeply." Shen Cong recalled what he saw back then, and subconsciously frowned.  eyebrow.

    It was also at that moment that the aura of the Shen family's royal blood became more intense.

    When the hurricane dissipated, the black air gathered in one place, and a figure could be vaguely seen being swept in by the black air.

    With a wave of the figure's hand, countless black cats rushed out from all sides, surrounding a group of brocade guards and shadow guards.

    But only did not surround him.

    "A member of the Shen family?" The figure landed in front of him, sized him up carefully, and suddenly smiled sullenly, "Alright, come and be my nourishment."

    The figure suddenly reached out to him and lifted him in the air.

    He could clearly feel that his vitality was usurped bit by bit by this guy.

    But he was powerless to resist, he could only watch helplessly as he was sucked into anger, and all the people accompanying him were strangled to death by the cat ghost.

    At that moment, he regretted it.

    He doesn't regret that he lost his life here, he regrets bringing them here and letting them die.

    "Your Highness, you are so cruel." After hearing this, Chen Xin couldn't help but sighed.

    Shen Cong was a little embarrassed, touched his nose and said slowly: "Blame me, I was reckless."

    "Then, how did His Highness escape from death?" Chen Xin asked again, remembering what Shen Cong had just said about the past.

    Shen Cong's eyes deepened.

    At that time, he was about to die, maybe it was because of the pity of the Longevity Heaven, somehow a spiritual wind came from the heaven and the earth, which activated the teleportation technique on his behalf, and directly sent his dying self to the Chang'an Palace.

    Now that I think about it carefully, the aura of that spiritual wind seems a little familiar?

    Every detail of the past gradually became clear, as if it was yesterday.

    Remembering the spiritual wind that saved him back then, Shen Cong suddenly took out the jade-faced keel fan, and lightly touched the void in front of him.

    Under Chen Xin's amazed eyes, the jade fan suddenly glowed with golden light, and the golden light turned into an eight trigrams pattern, and Ren Yufan manipulated the aura on it to perform deduction.

    This is an additional deduction technique developed by Shen Cong on the basis of the gossip deduction learned in his previous life.

    It also belongs to the category of gossip deduction, but the deduction is more accurate.

    The golden light spread out, slowly revealing some Sanskrit characters.

    Chen Xin leaned forward to look, and was dumbfounded.

    These Sanskrit characters are not the current languages ??of various countries, and they seem to be very old.

    "The Sanskrit script created by the immortal family in ancient times was used to record heavenly books and even heavenly secrets." After explaining, Shen Cong was stunned for a moment.

    The spiritual wind that saved him back then was the consciousness left by his mother?

    Shen Cong thought of the letter his mother had left for him again, and suddenly a bold guess emerged in his heart.

    Maybe the mother's soul is still alive after death, she just returned

    Her hometown is the northern desert.

    Shen Cong took a sudden step and walked out of the cave.

    By the way, Chen Xin was picked up.

    "Your Highness, where are you taking me?" Chen Xin struggled and followed his heart because of the fruitless struggle, and couldn't help asking with a sad face.

    "Miao Jiang, catch the demon."

    "Isn't it your Highness's business to catch monsters? I'm just a mortal, Your Highness." Chen Xin struggled harder.

    "You are familiar with the terrain of Miaojiang."

    "You are familiar with it, Your Highness."

    "Are there any thieves who know the way?" Shen Cong raised his eyebrows.

    Chen Xin: ""

    He silently gave up struggling.

    "Although I still have some things to do, but for His Royal Highness, I have risked my life, and I will go through fire and water!" With a long sigh, Chen Xin suddenly raised his head and chest, showing an appearance of being ready to die generously.

    Shen Cong let go of his hand suddenly, took out a pair of paper, ink, brush and inkstone and threw it over.

    "Draw a picture."

    Chen Xin was taken aback: "Huh?"

      "Draw a map of Miaojiang, and then let's go." Shen Cong opened his lips lightly.

    "Um, Your Highness, I can't get in touch with the person at the secret door right now, why don't I go with His Highness. My little injury is fine, and it won't drag His Highness down." Chen Xin threw away the paper, ink, pen and inkstone, and immediately  grinning.

    He just remembered that the people at the secret door nearby were bombarded and killed by the following cat ghosts, and now he is alone and helpless, let alone leaving Miaojiang.

    Before Shen Cong appeared, he planned to find a hidden place that had been arranged long ago to hide and cultivate, and leave Miaojiang directly through the secret road after his injury improved.

    What ordinary people call the Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, as a well-known ghost thief, Chen Xin would not leave himself three or five retreats.

    "Really going?" Shen Cong's eyes were full of surprise.

    I thought this guy would leave immediately after hearing what he said, but he didn't go away.

    "Really."

    Shen Cong sacrificed a elixir and handed it to the former: "This is the Huiyuan elixir, which can repair your injuries. Can you return it?"

    Chen Xin: "" Is it too late to regret it now?

    Forget it, a gentleman can't chase after a word.

    He took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp, then nodded firmly: "Go!"

    After Chen Xin recovered from his injuries, the two disguised themselves and sneaked into the village of Miaojiang. Under the guidance of the former, they began to search for cat ghosts.

    After checking four or five villages in a row, the two finally found traces of cat ghosts in an ancient village in Pian'an.

    At the gate of the ancient village, a dead towering pagoda tree stands facing north from south.

    On the tall branches, hang dozens of cat corpses that rotted to the point where only a pair of black lacquered leather bags and skeletons remained.

    A stench came out of his nostrils, making Chen Xin want to vomit.

    Shen Cong reached out and touched the former's sense of smell secretly, then looked at the cat's corpse.

    They are all Ding Xiang Yipin cat ghosts who are about to take shape.

    "You two, how can you be so disrespectful!" At that moment, a stern old voice suddenly came from the side.

    The two turned their heads and saw a white-haired old man holding a pear wood walking stick and glaring at them both.

    "Hurry up and apologize to the gods! Otherwise, the altar will be opened tonight, and the village head will sacrifice you two to heaven!" The old man bowed to the cat corpses three times, angrily shook his crutches, and his voice was stern.

    Shen Cong and Chen Xin looked at each other, and Qi Qi bowed three times to the cat corpse in the pagoda tree tree.

    "At midnight tonight, open the altar to offer sacrifices." The old man withdrew his cold gaze, put on a kind and pious face, nodded to the two of them, turned his head and staggered away.

    child time

    Looking at the old man's scrawny back, Shen Cong slightly raised his phoenix eyes.

    In this Miao Jiang, everyone he meets is lifeless and looks dead.

 Chapter 59 Ancient Bronze Coffin, Horror at Night (1)

    It was as if their souls had been controlled, and they were reduced to puppets at the mercy of others.

    "Your Highness, do you feel that the old man walks a little strangely?" Chen Xin stared at the old man's back, arched Shen Cong's shoulders, and opened his lips quietly.

    "Living dead. Empty but fleshy shell, soul without soul." Shen Cong shook his head and sighed softly, "Even if he is rescued, it may be hopeless."

    Chen Xin gasped.

    In this way, wouldn't almost the entire Miao people be wiped out?

    "They're crazy, are they betting everyone's lives just to raise cat ghosts?" Chen Xin's face was a little stunned and dull.

    These days, the two walked around and pieced together something from the people in Miao Jiang.

    All villages in Miaojiang will open altars to offer sacrifices tonight, offering human sacrifices to heaven, and waking up the sleeping cat ghosts！these cat ghosts are all raised by them with mother-child voodoo, and everyone has one, which can be manipulated freely.

    But the cat ghost king only listens to the master's words.

    And its owner is the holy son of the Miaojiang clan.

    As for who it was, Ren Shencong and Chen Xin were at a loss for what to ask.

    Shen Cong tried to use gossip to deduce, but he had no choice but to give up.

    "Power can control people's hearts." Shen Cong looked at the back of the old man, turned his head and left.

    Power can rule people's hearts

    Chen Xin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a cold wind blowing around him, shivering a bit, and hurriedly followed the former's pace.

    Although his lightness kung fu is very good, but the three-legged cat's kung fu is in the mouths of those lunatics and animals, and he really can't escape.

    If not, how could he have ended up in such a mess.

    "Your Highness, earlier you told me that the Pearl of Rebirth is an evil thing, and you were almost persecuted by it. But you only mentioned the ancient bronze coffin, and you didn't mention the Pearl of Rebirth." Chen Xin remembered something and hurriedly  asked suspiciously.

    Could it be that His Royal Highness King Qin lied to him and wanted to swallow the Pearl of Rebirth all by himself?

    "Actually, after that day, I came to Miaojiang once." In front of a big tree, Shen Cong cast a barrier with his sleeves, and then he spoke to explain his doubts.

    It turned out that after returning from Miaojiang, Shen Cong always felt that the figure was very familiar, so he went to Miaojiang again.

    This time, he got the Pearl of Rebirth by accident, but fell into the infinite illusion, and his soul was almost lost in it.

    If the system hadn't stripped him off in time, he would have confessed where he was.

    After receiving the friendly reminder from the system, Shen Cong thought about it, but he couldn't find anyone who could help him, so he turned back helplessly.

    "Now that I have reached the alchemy state, it is more than enough to deal with that guy with all my strength." Shen Cong said here, with a murderous look in his eyes.

    This time, he must kill that guy under his Xiuchun knife.

    Seeing that Chen Xin was silent, Shen Cong simply took out the kit and handed it over.

    "I, Shen Cong, act upright and upright. I never say tricky things to deceive others."

    Chen Xin was stunned, smiled and stuffed the kit into the former's hand: "It's my villain's heart that judges a gentleman's belly, Your Highness forgive me."

    Shen Cong waved his hand, put away the bag and sat down cross-legged indifferently, and began to meditate with his eyes closed.

    As for Chen Xin, he turned his head and looked at the north, the direction where Yanjing was.

    Perhaps in my lifetime, I will not be able to return to my hometown with a living you.

    After being silent for a long time, the jade-faced fox suddenly sighed, and a rare look of sadness overflowed the corners of his eyes.

    Into the night.

    It is snowing in the south, and so is Miaojiang.

    The sudden snow turned the entire rolling mountain into a white plain covered in white.

    Just before midnight, a strange ringing bell rang suddenly.

    "Hundred ghosts walk at night, strangers make way！"

    Shen Cong who was meditating suddenly opened his eyes.

    "Hundred ghosts walk at night, strangers make way！"

    ?The midnight cry of that year strikes again, merging with the present.

    He stood up abruptly, took out two pills from the Qiankun pouch on his waist, swallowed one by himself, and handed one to Chen Xin.

    A drowsy person got up subconsciously, took the pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

    The bitter taste in his mouth immediately brought him back to his senses.

    "Your Highness, you want to kill me with poison. I'm not righteous, but I'm also not evil. I'm a grand thief who robs the rich and gives to the poor!" Chen Xin frowned and complained bitterly.

    "It's a elixir that conceals your aura, and it lasts for half an hour. Follow up." Shen Cong stared at the four directions and opened the door, walked towards the villagers in the center of the village, and saidThen he flicked his sleeves to dissolve the enchantment, picked up his pace and walked towards the center of the village.

    At that time, the locust tree at the entrance of the village trembled.

    One after another, the cat corpses suddenly opened their green eyes, and the godless cat pupils were extremely cold and terrifying in the dark night.  They struggled for a while, fell from the locust tree, and staggered towards the center of the village.

    The villagers on both sides gave way very consciously, and at the same time did not forget to bow their waists and lower their eyes - as if these cat ghosts were the kings at this time, and they were just humble slaves.

    Hundreds of ghosts travel at night, and strangers make way-it's nothing more than that.

    A gust of cool wind suddenly blew, and goose bumps appeared on Chen Xin's neck.

    He trembled for a moment, hurriedly caught up with Shen Cong, and mixed with him among the villagers.

    The closer to the altar in the center of the village, the more intense the rotten smell of death and decay.

    Chen Xin was so stimulated that he almost vomited. Seeing Shen Cong glance over, he smiled awkwardly, and quickly sealed his sense of smell.

    "After the effect of the medicine wears off, you go and release the firework signal, and Sibei Jinyiwei will come to get rid of the demon. You can leave now." Shen Cong handed something to Chen Xin, and the sound transmission entered the secret road.

    After all, Chen Xin is not a spiritual practitioner. After hearing this rare sound transmission into the secret, he was stunned for a long time before he realized it.

    He nodded and took it.

    The two leaned against the corner and looked up at the altar.

    On the altar, there is an ancient bronze coffin.

    Exactly the same as back then.

    Shen Cong's eyes deepened.

    The cat ghosts jumped onto the altar, bowed their heads around the ancient bronze coffin, and then all walked towards the fire beside them.

    In the fire, a dying girl was swallowed up.

    The cat ghost jumped into the fire like a moth to the flame, and the bright flame suddenly turned into a faint green.

    On the stage, an old man wearing a crow mask held an ancient bronze rattle in his hand, raised it above his head and shook it three times. While walking around the ancient coffin, he recited an unknown language plausibly.

    The villagers from all directions knelt down together, folded their hands and kowtowed as a salute to the emperor and ministers.

    "Welcome my king back！"

    The uniform voice resounded through the air, obviously very loud and passionate, but Chen Xin got goosebumps again when he heard it.

    If he could not feel his own breathing, he would have thought that he had gone to the underworld.

    At a certain moment, a sharp cat cry burst out from the ancient bronze coffin.

    The old man walked up to the green fire with the rattle in hand, and stretched out his hand.

    When the bell was crooked, a handful of green fire filled it.

    The old man carefully held the green fire, walked towards the ancient bronze coffin, and placed the rattle with the flame in the central groove of the coffin lid of the ancient bronze coffin.

 Chapter 60 Ancient Bronze Coffin, Horror at Night (2)

    The strange green fire suddenly spread across the coffin lid, burning blazingly, and the huge waves rushed towards the face, and the scorching sensation spread all over the entire void.

    At the same time, there is also the evil spirit that belongs to the Bing phase.

    The old man picked up a charred pear wood walking stick from the ground, and slammed it down. The walking stick instantly turned into powder and scattered.

    The green fire on the ancient bronze coffin trembled with the ground, and rushed down bit by bit, and soon devoured the pear wood powder.

    The mutation is still going on.

    The demonic aura gathered on the falling green fire, and the flame twisted rapidly, and then went out, leaving only a black powder on the ground.  The powder trembled violently, and a big bulge bulged upwards.

    After a moment of silence, the bulge burst suddenly, and one after another, cat ghosts with scarlet eyes rushed out of it, and all fell under the altar.

    Hundreds, thousands, countless.

    Shen Cong slowly held his breath.

    No, the long night sacrifice to the sky that I saw back then was not such a terrifying scene.

    In this compartment, the old man raised the bell again and shook it gently.

    The crisp bell rang in the night sky, but Chen Xin's scalp tingled when he heard it.

    Just because the green ghost fire above the ancient coffin shrank inward suddenly as the coffin lid jumped suddenly after the bell rang.

    Just like the silence before the rainstorm, everything is silent at this moment, and the two of them can't even hear a breath.

    Everyone, even the cat ghost, lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, their bodies were rigid like puppets whose souls had been emptied all of a sudden.

    It's weird to be extremely quiet.

    "The two distinguished guests have come all the way from thousands of miles away. Do you think that my way of hospitality in Miaojiang is not good?" A deep and hoarse sound, like dead wood crackling and burning, suddenly broke the strange tranquility.  .

    Shen Cong's heart sank.

    Could it be that he was discovered?

    There was only a loud bang, and the ancient bronze coffin lid was suddenly bounced off by the black air overflowing from below, and landed with a bang, making an extremely ear-piercing sound.

    The black air condensed towards the void above, and a trace of it flew towards the hiding place of Shen Cong and Chen Xin at a speed visible to the naked eye.

    Not good!

    Shen Cong's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, he roughly grabbed a corner of Chen Xin's robe, stepped out in one step, and rode the golden halo to a distance of dozens of steps.

    Looking at the place where they were originally, the black air fell to the ground, corroding everything in the surroundings, and then turned into dozens of cat ghosts with scarlet pupils, looking at Shen Cong coldly.

    Shen Cong was not afraid, and looked coldly at the black air above the ancient coffin.

    The black air has condensed into a figure, and he is looking at Shen Cong's side - his eyes are like a red shining orb in the dark night, which is especially frightening to look at.

    The figure moved his nostrils deeply, and squinted his eyes, revealing a gesture of intoxication and enjoyment.

    It is the smell of the pearl of rebirth, he has found his precious pearl of rebirth.

    "Children, take the Pearl of Rebirth." The figure slowly stretched out his hand, snapped his fingers, and grinned ferociously, "By the way！eat the flesh and blood of the two of them, and tore the souls of the two of them."

    "You retreat first, and I'll finish it off!" Without hesitation, Shen Cong pulled out the jade-faced keel fan from his waist, and began to secretly chant formulas to boost his energy.

    Seeing that Chen Xin did not respond, he subconsciously looked sideways.

    However, there is no Chen Xin beside him.

    As early as after the sudden attack just now, Chen Xin, who came back from the horror, wiped the cold sweat that broke out, and made a decision resolutely.

    Let His Royal Highness fight bravely, and he will go to the front to explore the way!

    By the way, find some supporters for Your Highness.

    Chen Xin was not a procrastinator, so he retreated immediately.

    Thinking of this level, Shen Cong twitched the corners of his mouth.

    Forget it, even if Chen Xin stays here, he will only become a meal on their plate.

    At that time, Shen Cong felt that every inch of his skin had enough spiritual power, and he stepped forward in one step, taking the golden halo to a hundred steps away.

    He stretched out his hand and slapped the ground with a sudden palm, shouting loudly: "We are ready to fight, borrow troops!"

    In an instant, the ground glowed with golden light, and a formation suddenly appeared under the unfolded jade-faced keel fan.

    Surrounded by aura, a group of golden armored soldiers flew out of the formation and landed steadily in front of Shen Cong.

    "All generals obey the order, kill cat ghosts!" Shen Cong stood up, pointed the handle of his fan directly at the cat ghosts rushing over, and opened his lips to give the order.

    ?"Immortal soldiers accept the order!" All the soldiers answered in unison, then turned their heads and pulled out the long swords around their waists, or sacrificed their knives and spears and long halberds, and rushed forward to fight head-on with those cat ghosts.

    These soldiers are all immortal soldiers borrowed by Shen Cong after entering the Alchemy Realm.

    If I hadn't studied hard in my previous life, I'm afraid I don't even have the means to save my life now.

    Having settled down, Shen Cong put away the jade-faced keel fan, stretched out his hands, and an embroidered spring knife engraved with a dragon pattern appeared in his palm.

    He stepped forward with one step, and with only one breath, he rode the golden halo and came straight to the figure, and raised his knife to slash at the guy's head.

    Feeling Shen Cong's murderous aura, the figure immediately dissipated as a pool of black energy, jumped over Shen Cong, and condensed behind him in an instant.

    "I was born between the heaven and the earth just now, so use your cultivation as a cushion for me." The figure smiled slyly, waved his hand, and his figure turned into black air again, and rushed towards the former.

    Shen Cong was immediately enveloped in black air, and an overwhelming feeling of gloom swept over him, approaching Shen Cong's sea of ??consciousness.

    Isn't he that figure back then?

    Grasping the key words in the servant's words, Shen Cong frowned, then calmly closed his eyes and chanted a mantra.

    At that time, there was a golden light spreading from his dantian, and the blood from the tendons spread all over every inch of his body, even the bone marrow.

    The figure was about to devour Shen Cong, but the latter suddenly burst into a golden light. The golden light was scorching hot, and the moment it touched him, it burned half of his cultivation base.

    The pain spread from the black air and spread to the guy's soul.

    He screamed loudly in pain, and quickly evacuated to the side, showing the original shape of a cat ghost along the way.

    This is a huge black cat ghost, quite similar to the one in Chang'an City, but with a weaker breath.

    Shen Cong slowly opened his eyes, his pupils which were usually dark in color, at this moment unexpectedly showed a faint golden color.

    One-tailed cat ghost king, Ding Xiang first-rank, ten years of Taoism.

    Among the Ding phases, there is the demonic aura of the C phase monster！presumably it has something to do with the cat ghosts it devoured.

    "You What kind of spiritual energy is this? Why are you so powerful?" The cat ghost fell to the ground, and gasped as he watched his abdomen begin to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye.

    Its century-old yin energy can't heal this injury!

    The symbol of the fairy clan is the golden aura and the golden pupils.

    Shen Cong was a great emperor in his previous life, and the immortal energy he uses today, and even the immortal weapons he borrowed, were all received from the system and brought over from his previous life.

    To put it bluntly, he borrowed the mana from his previous life by relying on the secret technique of the system.

    If not, he really might not be able to kill this fellow.  </div&gt

 Main Text Chapter 61: Chasing after a hundred miles, Shen Cong makes the move

    Shen Cong did not answer, but stabbed the cat ghost king's neck with a knife.

    The Cat Ghost King closed his eyes in despair.

    It thought that after its birth, it would gallop around with its master like that guy and make great contributions to him.

    Unexpectedly, as soon as he was born, he was about to be reduced to a dead soul under the knife.

    It is not reconciled.

    The expected pain did not come, the cat ghost opened his eyes suspiciously, and found that the point of the knife was facing his eyebrows.  There was a thin ray of light at the tip of the knife, reflected in its scarlet cat pupils.

    He didn't kill it?

    The cat ghost king moved his eyes and looked around.

    All the cat ghosts in the four directions were killed, and the immortal soldiers controlled the villagers who were about to move！even the masked old man, the village head, was held in his hands by an immortal general, unable to move.

    "Troublemaker, how dare you be presumptuous to the demon king! You will die!" The village head glared at Shen Cong, wishing he could swallow his flesh and blood alive.

    "Why didn't you kill me?" Cat Ghost King withdrew his gaze and fixed on the former.

    Shen Cong remained silent, reciting formulas silently, and continued to explore the past of the cat ghost king.

    It turned out that the Pearl of Rebirth was refined by the first generation of wizards who gathered thousands of ghosts who were unwilling to die in vain. It has an extremely powerful bewitching power, which can make the holder go crazy and eventually become a puppet of evil ways.

    Since the birth of the pearl, it has been regarded as a sacred object of the Wu people in Miaojiang, and it has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.  In the past hundred years, due to the internal division of the Miao border and the division of the Wu clan, they fought against each other for power, so the whereabouts of the past life beads were unknown in several large-scale wars in modern times.

    It wasn't until eighteen years ago that the division of the Wu clan ended, and the new patriarch completed the unification and found the Pearl of Rebirth.

    And it was also at that time that the first cat ghost king woke up from a deep sleep, and was taken by the patriarch to Chang'an overnight-the place where the cat ghost king stayed was the Hall of Acacia!

    The cat ghost king was refined during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and was ordered to protect the master of Miaojiang from generation to generation.

    This newly born cat ghost king was selected from thousands of cat ghosts, carefully cultivated with human flesh, and carefully fed with human blood.  Although he has only ten years of practice, it is beyond the reach of ordinary cat ghosts.

    It is also because of this that it has extremely high intelligence and can speak out.

    If it obtains the Orb of Rebirth and refines it, then its Taoism can directly break through to Phase B, and its talent will even far exceed that of the first cat ghost king.

    This is the reason why this guy will be extremely excited after smelling the smell of the past life pearl.

    Shen Cong narrowed his eyes, put away the long knife, and slowly took out a black kit.

    "Do you still recognize this thing?" He played with the kit and opened his lips casually.

    "Pearls of Rebirth?!" Although the cat ghost king's breath was weak, he could still recognize the smell of the objects in the kit.

    Shen Cong slowly opened the kit, and in the astonished eyes of the Cat Ghost King, took out the Pearl of Rebirth, and held it in his palm.

    At that time, the golden light in his eyes became stronger again.

    A flame exploded in that palm instantly, and directly burned the thousand-year-old sacred object of the Miaojiang Wu Clan into powder.

    "No! No!" Cat Ghost King watched in shock as the powder fell from Shen Cong's palm bit by bit, with a look of madness in his eyes.

    It threw itself on the pile of powder, intending to absorb it.

    Unexpectedly, Shen Cong's flame is Nanming Lihuo, which specializes in burning evil things. No matter how powerful the Rebirth Pearl is, it can't match the divine fire made by this fairy family, and it naturally turns into powder and disperses.

    Of course, this flame was also used by Shen Cong who used the system to attract the mana from his previous life.

    Although there is only a trace, it is enough to erase this most yin and evil bead.

    When he realized that the cat ghost king's fury had reached its peak, Shen Cong no longer hesitated, and sacrificed the Xiuchun knife to behead the guy's head, then withdrew the immortal soldiers, and cast a deep glance at the old village head who had been in shock for a long time.  , turned his head to perform lightness kung fu, and left.

    The old village head stumbled to the cat ghost king's corpse, and sat down suddenly.

    He stretched out his hand tremblingly to caress the body of this guy, but the Cat Ghost King shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and turned into a curled up black cat corpse in just a moment.

    And on its body, there is a piece of blood-stained talisman that has turned yellow.

    "Boy, I don't want you to get out of Miaojiang!" The old village head's eyes suddenly turned red, and he looked up at Shen Cong's leaving back, his eyes full of hatred.

    He staggered to his feet, collected himself, put his hands together and began to chant the ancient Wu language with his eyes closed.

    Strands of black silk gushed out of the old village chief's palm, and the black silk quickly wrapped him up, forming a hugeLarge colored chrysalis.

    "The cat ghost listens to the order and captures the King Slayer alive! Take him to the grave and kill him, sacrifice his soul to the heavens, and condolences to my ghost king!"

    After this sad and angry sound, the big black chrysalis suddenly fell to the ground, emitting a puff of black smoke as if deflated.

    The big chrysalis disintegrated, and the old man inside had turned into a white bone covered with clothes.

    It turned out that just now, the old village head used the secret art of the witch tribe, and used all his life span as a medium to order the cat ghost who came back from the underworld to kill Shen Cong.

    Somewhere deep in Miaojiang, there is a desolate tomb.

    "The cat ghost listens to the order and captures the King Slayer alive！" The old and angry voice floated from the void and landed on this corner.

    The only way is that the earth trembled and the mountains shook, and countless Yin Qi emerged from the tomb.

    A shriveled cat corpse walked out of the Yin Qi, and quickly turned into a cat ghost, opened its scarlet eyes, fluttered its nose, and chased in Shen Cong's direction.

    At the same time, the voice of the village head rang out in every ancient village in Miaojiang.

    The Wu people in Miaojiang looked at each other, and their expressions gradually became dull.

    And the cat ghosts they raised also mobilized at that moment, chasing Shen Cong together with the cat ghosts in the tomb.

    Then, His Royal Highness Qin Wang felt the evil spirit rising sharply in all directions, and a dark color flashed in his eyes.

    coming!

    He took a step forward and took the golden halo straight to the border of Miaojiang.

    "Fighting battle formation, the four phenomena of heaven and earth, spirit beasts line up!" Shen Cong pulled out the jade-faced keel fan from his waist, shouted loudly, and suddenly slapped the palm of the jade fan on the ground.

    When Chen Xin arrived with reinforcements, he saw such a shocking scene！！

    The brocade-clothed young man in the black flying fish robe stood calmly among the four ancient golden formations.

    The ancient formation was a masterpiece of golden light, and four huge spirit beasts stepped out and landed behind Shen Cong.

    "Qinglong, Baihu, Xuanwu, Suzaku！" Anbu Jinyiwei looked at the four spirit beasts and said in surprise, "It's the four elephant spirit beasts!"

    His Royal Highness the King of Qin was able to summon the Four Elephant Spirit Beasts!

    So scary!

    "The array is in the east, Qinglong obeys orders!"

    "The formation is in the west, and the white tiger obeys orders!"

    "The array is in the south, Suzaku obeys orders!"

    "The array is in the north, Xuanwu obeys orders!"

    The four-phase spirit beasts opened their lips together, and the loud and mighty voice spread from the void, which forcibly shocked the cat ghosts coming from all directions.

 Main Text Chapter 62 Dying Drug Slave, Leading Spirit Formation (1)

    "Four Elephants obey the order, kill the cat ghost! None of them will be left behind!" Shen Cong pointed his jade fan directly at the cat ghost in front of him, and opened his lips in a cold voice.

    "Qinglong accepts the order!"

    "The white tiger takes orders!"

    "Suzaku accepts the order!"

    "Xuanwu accepts the order!"

    The four-phase spirit beasts were dispatched together, killing one side with their own power.

    The magnificence and vastness of that scene amazed everyone present.

    With such strength as His Royal Highness the King of Qin, how could he get their help?

    It's good if they don't step forward and drag His Highness down.

    Originally, some Anbu Jinyiwei refused to accept that Shen Cong's cultivation was low, but he was able to be named the Five Heroes.

    Seeing this order today, I was immediately convinced.

    Even Chen Xin was secretly surprised.

    Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness Qin Wang is still a hidden master.

    Well, he doesn't know how to settle accounts after the fall, so let's make trouble for himself.

    Remembering that he ran away not long ago, Chen Xin's heart shuddered, silently restrained his breath, and began to try his best to reduce the sense of existence.

    Shen Cong glanced at Chen Xin, didn't say anything, just handed out his Jinyiwei token, and told the Anbu Jinyiwei to pack up the corpse of the cat ghost, and then left straight away.

    Chen Xin was taken aback.

    Hey, Your Highness is a good man.

    In a valley, a black flying fish robe suddenly appeared on the top of the valley.

    Shen Cong looked at the bottom of the valley, noticing the yin energy floating there, his eyes deepened slightly.

    In the hinterland of Miaojiang, the tomb of the cat and ghost is here.

    He stepped out again, riding the golden halo straight to the bottom of the valley.

    Opening the folding fan in his hand, Shen Cong twisted his palm and waved it forward.

    A golden light flew forward with the wind, but it dissipated the yin energy in an instant, revealing one grave after another inside.

    These tombs are unusually small, and the wordless tombstones stand facing south, which looks quite strange.

    A rustling sound broke into Shen Cong's ears.

    It's a ghost

    Shen Cong's gaze sharpened, he flipped his wrist, and quickly turned around and slapped forward with his palm.

    "ah!"

    A scream came from the front, and a hanged ghost suddenly appeared in the void.

    The hanged ghost fell to the ground, most of his cultivation was scattered by Shen Cong's palm.

    It tremblingly looked at the young man in Xuanyi who was slowly approaching him, his eyes full of fear.

    "My lord, my lord, please spare me!" The hanged ghost fell to his knees with a plop, crying and begging for mercy.

    ? Hanged ghost, Ding Xiang second grade, twenty-two years of Taoism.

    Has not given the ring to kill, is a wandering ghost.

    Shen Cong restrained his killing intent, and also retracted the golden jade-faced keel fan. Looking at the fatal wound on the neck of the hanged ghost, he opened his lips lightly: "What is your purpose of appearing here in a sneaky way?"

    "The little one just came here to collect some herbs, and went back to refine medicinal materials for Lord Xiaoman. The little one didn't mean to offend the adults, please forgive me." The hanged ghost kowtowed three more times.

    Alchemy

    Shen Cong raised his eyebrows: "Your lord, you are from Miaojiang"

    The hanged ghost hesitated for a moment, seeing that he had no killing intent, he poured out his money and told him.

    After hearing this, Shen Cong was silent for a moment, and slowly opened his lips: "I have a panacea, which promises to save his life. If you believe me, take me to meet your master."

    Panacea!

    In this mortal world, panaceas are so rare, just like spiritual cultivation outside the Taoist sect, they are rare.

    This lord does not seem to be telling lies, not to mention that it has lived for so long, and it can also read words and expressions. The clothes on this lord belong to Jin Yiwei, not evil spirits.

    Maybe, my lord really has a way to save his master.

    The Hanged Ghost was overjoyed and hurriedly led the way for Shen Cong.

    The two went all the way and came to a dense forest.

    "My lord, there is a trap formation in this dense forest. If you step into it carelessly, you will die. Come and open the way for your lord." The hanged ghost stretched out his hand to block Shen Cong's path, floated to a corner of the dense forest, and picked it up from the thorn bushes.  A piece of pear wood twisted slightly.

    Immediately, Shen Cong keenly caught a crackling sound coming from the dense forest.

    The art of mechanism is worthy of being the heir of that family.

    Unexpectedly, in this age, I can still see the disciples of those people's younger generations.

    With a secret sigh of emotion, Shen Cong followed the hanging ghost who led the way into the depths of the dense forest.

    Initially narrow, graduallybroad.

    In the middle of the dense forest, there is a peach forest.  Deep in the peach forest, there is a bamboo house.  There is a gurgling stream next to the bamboo house, which looks like an idyllic work.

    Shen Cong fluttered his nostrils, catching a different breath from the void.

    The smell of medicine is mixed with the smell of decay and decay, as if only in the twilight years.

    Sure enough, he has lived for a hundred years.

    "It's all right, the way of hospitality But I still need to say more." At that time, an old and hoarse voice came from the main house.

    The hanged ghost responded, turned into a medicine boy, respectfully bowed to Shen Cong, and then welcomed him into the bamboo house.

    When Shen Cong entered the room, he met a pair of cloudy eyes with vicissitudes.

    At this time, an old man dressed in commoner clothes looked at the elderly.  The old man has yellow hair and a bright head, and his long and sparse hair is only tied up with cloth strips.

    Those cloudy eyes are vicissitudes but kind, as if they are looking at Shen Cong, but they are not looking at Shen Cong.

    He is blind.

    Shen Cong looked at the white in his eyes, and paused slightly.

    "My guest came from a long way, old man is hard to walk, if I miss you, please forgive me." The old man slightly cupped his fists at Shen Cong.

    "Seniors don't need to be courteous, but junior Shen Cong came here boldly, please forgive me." Shen Cong bowed his head.

    The old man smiled slightly, then looked at Shen Cong, his eyes were empty, and his tone was stern: "No harm, do you still remember the old man's words?"

    "Master, Wuyang couldn't bear Master being disturbed by his illness, that's why he lured this lord into the Taolin Secret Realm." Wuyang pursed his lips in disbelief, "If the master wants to blame Wuyang, blame him."

    "Senior, this junior has a panacea, which can remove the residual poison from the senior's body." Shen Cong gently opened his lips.

    The old man was silent for a moment, then sighed softly: "The old man is about to enter the coffin, why does the guest need to take such painstaking efforts?"

    Wuyang tactfully brought a pot of green tea, poured it for the two of them, and brought a bamboo chair for Shen Cong, then left silently, and began to pick out herbs.

    "Your Highness, the world is still stable today." The old man rubbed his tea, took a sip, and suddenly opened his lips to ask.

    It turned out that when Shen Cong signed up, the old man knew his identity.

    "There is no stability yet. In a peaceful and prosperous age, the Tao will surely come." Shen Cong answered firmly.

    One day, he will fulfill the last wish of the emperor's brother, so that the entire Central Plains, and even the entire Kyushu of China, will usher in a long-lasting peace and prosperity.

    At that time, it was what Brother Huang really expected to see.

    "Okay, young people should move forward with enthusiasm and enthusiasm. In this way, our great country, how can the building collapse?" The old man laughed loudly, and coughed with a smile.

    He slowly calmed down for a while, and suddenly opened his lips and asked again, "Your Highness must have heard about the past from Wuyang."

    "Yes." Shen Cong nodded.

 Main Text Chapter 63 Dying Drug Slave, Leading Spirit Formation (2)

    It turned out that this old man was named Mo Huan, and he was a descendant of Mohist school. He was proficient in the techniques of Mohist institutions. Because the dynasties of the past dynasties respected Confucianism, he led the only remaining Mohist disciples to live in seclusion in the rivers and lakes, and devoted himself to studying the Mohist institutions left by their ancestors.

    That year, Mo Huanzheng was in high spirits.

    He inadvertently heard that Miaojiang had a mechanism technique left by the descendants of Guigu, and immediately decided to sneak into the ancient land of Miaojiang to look for the opportunities left by the ancestors.

    However, if you go this way, you will not return for a hundred years.

    He was captured by the Wu tribe in Miaojiang and became a drug slave all his life.

    It was also later when he saw that he was dying, old and sick, and blinded by poison, that's why he was abandoned in the deep mountains and old forests.

    Thanks to the love of Changshengtian, Mo Huan survived by chance, and because of this, he saved the hanged ghost who was trapped in the mountains and forests.

    Wuyang voluntarily followed Mo Huan, but Mo Huan couldn't remember where his hometown was, so he had no choice but to settle down in Miaojiang, lingering on his last breath.

    That's why this Taolin secret realm came into being.

    There is also a trick that Mo Huan personally deployed.

    And a few years ago, Mo Huan finally found the opportunity left behind by his predecessor, the long-cherished wish of his youth.

    Under Wuyang's dictation, Mo Huan learned some techniques of gossip deduction.

    Observing the celestial phenomena with the heart can deduce the past, past, present, and present centuries.

    It can be said that although he has a mortal body, he is better than Shen Cong in this field.

    "The answers His Highness wants to know are all in the cat ghost's tomb. The old man's life is approaching, and he cannot reveal the secret. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

    "It's okay." Shen Cong waved his hands indifferently, quietly left some pills that could heal old wounds, and got up to go to the cat ghost's grave.

    "Your Highness, wait a moment." At that time, Mo Huan coughed, and suddenly opened his lips.

    Shen Cong stopped and turned around, cupped his fists and said softly, "I don't know why the senior called the junior."

    "The opportunity of passing on the ghost valley is reserved for the old man, and also for everyone who is destined. If you go west ten miles, there is a valley. If your highness believes in the old man, you can go there." Mo Huan took a sip of tea and said lightly.

    "Thank you, senior, for leading the way." Shen Cong thanked him, took a step forward, and left with a golden halo.

    The moment his breath disappeared, Mo Huan's hand suddenly shook violently, and the cup of tea suddenly fell to the ground.

    Wuyang had been waiting outside, when he heard a dull cough coming from inside, he immediately drifted into it.

    Identifying the pills on the table, Wuyang grabbed one of them, went to Mo Huan's side, and melted it into his body with the spiritual power of the four directions.

    Mo Huan's cough suddenly weakened.

    He slowly let go of his fist, and his palm was a shocking blood red.

    "Wuyang, you were an unruly person in the past. After I die, you can go." Mo Huan looked blankly in Wuyang's direction as if he had never heard of it, with a gentle and kind voice.

    Wuyang's hand patting Mo Huan's back paused slightly, then got up again.

    "Sir, Wuyang is a wandering ghost, unable to return to the underworld." Wuyang smiled wryly.

    "You have been with the old man for twenty years, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth aura, and you have already melted away your hostility. If you are willing, the errand will lure you away."

    "Sir, do you want to drive away unharmed?"

    Mo Huan shook his head: "You are not a wicked person, you shouldn't be bound here alone like an old man."

    "Wuyang wants to go with Mr. Wuyang." Wuyang decided to speak.

    Mo Huan remained silent.

    After a long time, he looked up at a certain direction and sighed slightly.

    "All right, after the old man dies, turn the old man's bones into ashes and bring them back to his homeland."

    "Mr. remembered his hometown"

    "Um."

    "Where is the North"

    "The Tianchao Northern Xinjiang Desert is the old man's home. If you happen to be lucky, you may meet an old friend."

    "who"

    "She is not a human being, she is a mountain spirit."

    Speaking of this, Mo Huan's eyes moved slightly.

    Miss Wan, although your son's talent is mediocre, he can catch up and surpass the former.

    The fate of this era will one day be in his hands, as well as that group of high-spirited descendants.

    If he is as you deduced back then, he has a bright future.

    It's just that his bright future seems to be bumpy all the way.

    Well, only through wind and rain can one achieve great power.

    Here, Shen Cong has arrived at the place Mo Huan pointed out.

    One side of entryThe barren valley is full of weeds, and there are dozens of bones of cattle and sheep visible to the naked eye.

    There is no evil spirit, only the atmosphere of ancient decay lingers in all directions.

    Shen Cong noticed a small abandoned ancient pavilion in the middle of the valley at a glance.

    He took a step forward and came straight to the ancient pavilion.

    On the ancient pavilion, the three characters Guigu Pavilion are engraved in the ancient Chinese characters of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

    Shen Cong put three incense sticks on the bronze stove in front of the pavilion, twitched the formula to ignite the flame, and then bowed to the ancient pavilion, then got up and walked straight into the ancient pavilion.

    There is a chessboard inside, covered with dust.

    If you look carefully, you can see that the chessboard moves by itself under the control of a faint spiritual force.

    Shen Cong stretched out his hand to touch a sunspot, and the sunspot suddenly glowed with a luster, projected into the midair, revealing a line of ancient characters

    "I have nurtured descendants of Yan and Huang for thousands of generations. My opponents all died in the change of dynasties. In the pre-Qin period, I swept the six kingdoms to unite the world; in the Han Dynasty, I was well-known in the Western Regions; in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, all nations came to court and worshiped me as the sky;  In the Fu Song Dynasty, I sailed far and wide, spreading the reputation of China and Kyushu. Today, I observe the celestial phenomena, and the descendants all have the posture of great power. The destiny of the celestial dynasty is beyond my understanding. I have stood on the long river for thousands of years because of  My disciples have practiced the way of courage from generation to generation. Therefore, although there are foreign enemies, I am not afraid."

    After reading this passage, Shen Cong remained silent.

    The me here may refer to Huaxia.

    In his side of the world, Huaxia had been asleep for nearly a hundred years. After the struggle of several generations of children, he just woke up the sleeping lion, and went to the peak again, overlooking the world.

    At this time, the text distorted for a while, and slowly turned into a kind and kind old man.

    "His Royal Highness King Qin, I have admired your name for a long time." The old man smiled slightly.

    "I've met senior." Shen Cong bowed his head.

    "His Royal Highness came from outside the sky. Since his birth, he has cultivated into the realm of alchemy. He is very talented. He is worthy of being one of the five masters." The old man looked at Shen Cong's extraordinary meridians, and suddenly nodded in satisfaction.

    Shen Cong was silent.

    Actually, when it comes to aptitude, Gu Jia Anxian and Ling Jia Mu Feng, those two boys are far superior to him.

    He has practiced for more than sixteen years, and only by relying on the system to greatly improve his aptitude can he obtain his current cultivation base.

    If not, I am afraid that no matter how hard he tries, with the aptitude of this body, he will not be able to step into the foundation building state in one lifetime.

    "Senior praised you absurdly." With a cough, Shen Cong slowly opened his lips.

    "Your Highness, hold out your hand." The old man waved to Shen Cong.

    Shen Cong obeyed and spread his palms.

    At that time, the old man's eyes moved, and a ray of golden light suddenly entered Shen Cong's palm.

    A wonderful feeling came immediately.

    "This is the unique skill of my school, Guigu, which is very useful for His Highness.?

 Main Text Chapter 64 Cat Ghost Tomb, Encountering a Stranger (1)

    The Great Array of Inducing Spirits

    Shen Cong looked at the gradually fading golden light in his palm, and fell into deep thought.

    It is said that it is a large spirit formation, but it actually uses the breath of demons and ghosts to lure the people behind it！such as a cat ghost.  people, and the murderer can be apprehended directly.

    God knows how long he had been waiting for this day.

    Suppressing the excitement in his heart, when Shen Cong raised his eyes to look forward again, the old man had disappeared.

    It's just that on that chessboard, a chess piece moved slowly.

    "Thank you for your enlightenment, senior." Shen Cong bowed his head towards the chessboard, then took a straight step and left in a golden halo.

    Returning to the hinterland again, Shen Cong took off the jade-faced keel fan at his waist, stood squinting at his face, and urged the spell to wave the fan forward.

    A ray of spiritual energy flew towards the evil place head-on with strands of golden light, but it swallowed and dissipated the evil energy in an instant.

    When the spiritual energy dissipated, the scattered graves fell into Shen Cong's eyes.

    The tombs are extremely weird, with a cat painted on each tombstone.  The mounds of tombs are as small as bamboo baskets and look scattered, but those who understand Feng Shui will find that the location of these mounds corresponds to the magic circle that absorbs the most yin and evil energy.

    The absorbed yin and evil energy can just feed the cat buried in the tomb, thereby causing it to mutate and turn into a cat ghost.

    Shen Cong stepped forward, carefully looked at these graves, and at the same time deduced the formula.

    These cat ghost graves appeared eighteen years ago.

    The first cat ghost also appeared eighteen years ago.

    But why cat ghosts hurt people appeared in July last year.

    Miaojiang Wuzu, what are you going to do

    Shen Cong squinted his eyes, and suddenly felt a strange movement in front of him.

    He raised his eyes and looked forward, and found that there were cat ghosts looming on the cliffs on both sides, and they swept forward at a sharp speed.

    Some found themselves, screaming and rushing towards him.

    "Fighting in battle, chase after him!" Seeing this, Shen Cong bowed and swung his jade-faced fan forward, and a golden thread shot out from the fan, chasing after the cat ghosts who were going away.

    Seeing the golden light go away, Shen Cong then set his eyes on the group of cat ghosts who were already close in front of him.

    Ants.

    He took a step back calmly, the jade mountain rolled in his palm, and a spiritual energy flew out from the fan, and turned into a majestic mist in an instant, condensing into a three-foot dragon.

    Under the blessing of Shen Cong's technique, Xiaolong swooped down on those cat ghosts with a long moan.

    The moment it touched the first cat ghost, the little dragon instantly disintegrated and swept in all directions with powerful aura！whether it was the cat ghost or those graves, they were razed to the ground in an instant, leaving only a piece of dust floating in the void, full of splendor.  fall.

    Shen Cong put away the jade-faced keel fan, looked for the spiritual power released just now, and stepped out in one step. After passing through the golden halo, his figure disappeared in place instantly.

    In the north, in a certain hall of the Imperial Palace in Chang'an City, a demented gaze moved slightly, and slowly retracted its silly look.

    If someone is here at this time, they will be surprised that this guy's eyes are usually dull, but they are shrewd and cold, like a normal person.

    "The tomb of the cat ghost has been completely destroyed by someone?" The man slowly raised his phoenix eyes, and the playfulness in his eyes was mixed with murderous intent.

    It seems that someone has directly attacked Miao Jiang's lair.

    Released the muddy puppet in his hand, he stood up slowly, and whistled.

    A black kitten jumped down from the eaves and landed obediently on the man's shoulder.

    "Pass down the order and advance the plan." The man stroked the cat's back and opened his lips lightly.

    The black cat obediently rubbed the man's cheek, then stepped to the ground with one step, and instantly dispersed into a cloud of smoke.

    At that time, a figure pushed out from the wooden door, and walked to the side of the person with stiff limbs.

    The breeze came slowly, blowing the fox fur on the figure's shoulders.

    The man turned his head, gathered his cloak and fox fur for the figure, looked at the former's sluggish complexion, and there was a bit of strangeness in his gentle eyes.

    "Didn't you always say that Miao Jiang surrendered to the Celestial Dynasty, so he should regard himself as a courtier?"

    "This time, I will go against the current. The world of the Shen family will definitely fall into my hands！"

    Speaking again to Shen Cong, when he came after the cat ghost, he saw a cave.  There are dozens of stone statues standing in front of the cave.  The stone statue is dressed in bronze battle armor, looking at the terracotta warriors and horses of the first emperor as written in books.

    ??? Those cat ghosts have already passed the stone statue and broke into the cave.

    "Being in battle, use the eyes of the sky!" Sensing that something was wrong in the cave, Shen Cong chanted a formula, and wiped his eyes with one hand.

    When the eyes were opened again, the cave had already become a place of Feng Shui evil spirits shrouded in black air.

    These black qi are exactly the same as those on the cat ghost!

    Shen Cong took one step forward and was about to go into the cave to find out.

    Unexpectedly, the stone statues suddenly began to shake violently, twisting their necks and stretching their bodies one by one, opening their scarlet eyes, pulling out the weapons at their waists one after another, and rushing towards Shen Cong！running very stiffly at first, and then getting faster and faster  .

    Is it a gatekeeper puppet?  !

    No wonder it looks so weird.

    Shen Cong retreated calmly, took out the jade-faced keel fan from his waist, and waved it forward.

    A barrier instantly appeared in front of him.

    When the gatekeeper puppets ran over, they ran straight into the barrier, and passed behind Shen Cong.

    Shen Cong didn't want to get entangled, so he took this opportunity to urge the teleportation technique to step into the cave.

    When the gatekeeper puppet regained consciousness, Shen Cong had already entered.

    Without enemies, the gatekeeper's puppet trembled for a while, turned into powder and dispersed, but returned to its original position after a while, and turned into a stone statue again.

    Inside the cave, bloody and rancid smells mixed with each other and rushed towards Shen Cong's nostrils.

    Shen Cong simply blocked his sense of smell, snapped his fingers and used the keel fan to light up the spiritual power of fire, and walked towards the dark interior.

    The whole journey was unremarkable, until the end of the path, a huge sarcophagus blocked the way.

    Shen Cong looked around and saw countless cat scratches on the walls on both sides.

    It is this corner of the world opened up by the cat ghost.

    He put the keel fan on his waist, reached out and gently touched the sarcophagus.

    There is no yin, and there is no evil inside.

    Secretly activating the system spell, Shen Cong suddenly exerted force and pushed open the lid of the sarcophagus.

    It was empty inside.

    It's just that the scratches with old blood on the three walls suddenly broke into Shen Cong's eyes.

    A living person was imprisoned

    Shen Cong quietly clenched his fists.

    At this time, he suddenly noticed that there was a small groove on the narrow side of the sarcophagus against the wall.

    Shen Cong jumped into the coffin with one step, and stretched out his hand to press the groove.

    Just hearing a crackling sound, the narrow side suddenly shrank to the side, and the earth wall in front slowly rose upwards with a piece of dust, revealing a darker interior.

    Raising his eyebrows, Shen Cong stood up, took the jade-faced keel fan, and continued walking inward.

 Main Text Chapter 65 Cat Ghost Tomb, Encountering a Stranger (2)

    ,

    Before he had traveled far, more than a dozen cat ghosts suddenly rushed out, intending to sneak attack.

    Shen Cong's gaze remained unchanged, but his aura was a little more aggressive.

    When he released his soul coercion, the coercion spread in all directions, killing those cat ghosts in an instant.

    At that time, a faint sound of breathing suddenly broke into Shen Cong's ears.

    Strangers?

    Shen Cong's eyes moved, he held his breath and walked inside, and then he saw such a scene.

    A round stone platform came into view, and a woman stood on it, her hands were imprisoned and bound by chains made of black gas.  Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were ragged, and she looked skinny, which was very strange in this dim and dark place.

    A group of cat ghosts crawled beside her. The cat ghosts lowered their heads, absorbing the black energy emanating from the woman.

    Is it the mother Gu body?  !

    Shen Cong slapped out with one palm, shattering the cat ghosts who were caught off guard, then unfolded the keel fan and swung it forward.

    A golden blade of light flew out from the fan, cutting off the two chains in an instant.

    The woman fell to the ground in response, lying on the ground for a long time before she could catch her breath.

    After coughing for a while, the woman opened her eyes in a trance, raised her head to meet a black gauze hat, and a pair of phoenix eyes that concealed a little unruly air.

    "Ah Ping?" The woman was taken aback.

    "Damn Shen Cong, Madam has identified the wrong person." When Shen Cong saw her face, he always felt a little familiar.

    Seems like I've seen it somewhere.

    The woman was startled, and lowered her eyes silently.

    "It's His Royal Highness King Qin" She murmured in a daze, "My Aping is still in Chang'an"

    Ah Ping´´

    "Madam said about Aping, but you mean brother five?" Shen Cong knelt down, quietly instilled some spiritual power into the woman, and then gently opened his lips and asked.

    Shen Xun's small word Yunping, if there is no mistake in the words in this lady's mouth, it may refer to Shen Xun.

    If it is really him, then he is very likely to be the instigator of the cat ghost case.

    Shen Cong slowly squinted his eyes.

    The woman trembled, rolled her eyes, and fainted.

    Grasping the woman's wrist, Shen Cong felt the pulse carefully, and found that the woman had been poisoned by Miao Jiang's poison.

    And it was just infected.

    Could it be

    Shen Cong glanced at Fang Shitai and frowned.

    He picked up the woman horizontally, stepped out with one step, and returned to Chang'an in the golden halo.

    Anbu Duwei's Fuchu.

    Song Cheng was flipping through materials on cat ghosts from the Sui and Tang Dynasties when a figure came in unexpectedly.

    "My lord, quickly detoxify this lady." Shen Cong hastily placed the woman beside the table and told her to sit down carefully.

    Song Cheng twitched the corners of his mouth, but he still got up and went straight to the woman, scrutinizing her face carefully.

    Looking, hearing and listening, Song Cheng's complexion gradually froze after seeing the doctor.

    These poisons were induced by the Gu poison in this lady's body.

    "Stinky boy, where have you been messing around again? You smell like a coffin." Song Cheng got up and glared at someone viciously, "This month's routine money has been deducted, and it is used to purify the air in my capital's mansion."

    "´´good."

    Song Cheng suddenly shouted outside: "Qin Zheng!"

    Not long after, Qin Zheng ran in with a pile of copywriting, caught a glimpse of Shen Cong who hadn't seen him for a month, and couldn't help but be astonished.

    Has Yun Zhe returned from Miaojiang?

    "Go to the warehouse to get the thousand-year-old snow lotus." Song Cheng picked up a very old-looking pipe from the table, took a puff, and slowly opened his lips.

    "My lord, there is only one thousand-year-old snow lotus in my Duwei Mansion. Are you sure you want to take it out?" Qin Zheng put down the copy, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice.

    "Medical materials that are not used to save people are not good medicinal materials." Song Cheng took another puff of a big cigarette, and glanced at the person in front of him, "Go quickly, you have been working hard all day long, and be careful that I will deduct your salary."

    " This subordinate will go now."

    He only has such a small salary, how can he go to Huamanlou to find a girl for a drink after the deduction is over.

    Thinking so, Qin Zheng hurriedly ran outside.

    These days, because Qin Zheng helped Song Cheng investigate the case of the cat ghost, he was dropped into the mansion and was responsible for sending the copy.  Handed it over to Qin Zheng.

    After half a cup of tea, Qin Zheng quickly fetched a sealed sandalwood box and handed it to Song Cheng carefully.

    theAt that time, Song Cheng had already wiped the woman's cheeks clean. As soon as the woman's face was revealed, Qin Zheng gasped.

    "What's wrong, Brother Bo Zhong?" Shen Cong raised his eyebrows.

    "This lady looks so familiar." Qin Zheng stroked his chin.

    Shen Cong nodded: "I also feel familiar."

    Hearing this, Song Cheng looked at the woman carefully.

    Seems to be a little familiar.

    "Apply the medicine first. Shen Cong, you come to protect me. Qin Zheng, continue to deliver the copy." Song Cheng opened the sandalwood box with magic, and opened his lips lightly.

    Qin Zheng: ""

    He is like an errand runner.

    With a slander in his heart, Qin Zheng still picked up the copywriting resignedly and ran out quickly.

    Can't make Gu Xiaohou wait for a long time.

    ? In the library pavilion of Duwei Mansion, a black figure was walking back and forth among the rows of book pavilions. When his eyes fell on Beizhen Fusi Demon Record, he stopped unconsciously.

    Gu Jiuling stretched out his well-proportioned hand and touched the ancient cover.

    In fact, logically speaking, Zangshu Pavilion is an important place in the Duwei's mansion, and his experience does not qualify him to enter it.

    It's just that there seems to be a change in the cat ghost in Chang'an City recently. Song Cheng sent most of the Jinyi guards in the mansion to go out on patrol, and the few remaining officials have official positions, and he is slightly taller.

    So he was specially approved and allowed to enter it to search for information.

    This is the first time he has entered Zangshuge.

    Therefore, when he saw Beizhen Fusi's demon record, an idea came to his mind.

    Maybe There will be information about that monster on it.

    With this in mind, he opened the Yaomolu, flipping through the pages one by one.

    "Master Gu, shall I put the copy you want on the table?" At that moment, Qin Zheng's voice suddenly came from outside.

    Gu Jiuling calmly closed Beizhen Fusi Demon Record, walked over and opened the wooden door, and took the copywriting in his hand.

    Just as he was about to walk inside, Gu Jiuling suddenly twitched his nostrils, and his cold eyes fell on Qin Zheng's hands: "What medicine did you go to get?"

    "Yun Zhe brought back from Miaojiang a lady who seemed to have been seriously injured. Mr. Song ordered me to take out the thousand-year-old snow lotus for her to heal." Qin Zheng scratched his head.

    Gu Xiaohou's nose is really good.

    But this young master was still in a daze in the words of the former.

    Shen Yunzhehe is back.

    When the thousand-year-old snow lotus was completely dissipated by its spiritual power, the woman's complexion instantly turned rosy.

    Song Cheng let out a foul breath and nodded in satisfaction.

    It is indeed the thousand-year-old snow lotus hidden in the hands of those old monsters.

    ? Thousand-year-old snow lotus can remove all poisons in the world, and the longer the age, the better the effect will be.

    "My lord, this subordinate seems to have remembered the identity of this lady." Shen Cong stared at the woman's increasingly familiar face, and slowly opened his lips.

 Main Text Chapter 66 Cat Ghost Surrounds the Palace, Jin Yi Night Kills (1)

    ,

    "Who?" Song Cheng raised his eyebrows.

    "yes´´"

    Before Shen Cong could say anything, a few bruised and bruised guards in brocade suddenly ran in outside, hurriedly bowed to the two of them and said, "My lord, something is wrong, the palace is surrounded by cat ghosts! The brothers of the night patrol were attacked by surprise."  , They were seriously injured!"

    Song Cheng and Shen Cong's expressions changed immediately upon hearing the words.

    Especially Shen Cong, when he heard about the cat ghost besieging the palace, the first thing he thought of was his sister-in-law, Shen Xiaoshi, who was almost five months pregnant.

    That's the only remaining blood of the emperor's brother, no matter what he says, he can't hurt his sister-in-law and little nephew!

    "My lord, this subordinate will go one step first, my lord forgive me!" Shen Cong bowed hurriedly, stepped out with one step, and went straight to the East Palace in a golden halo.

    Song Cheng frowned and asked, "How many Anbu Jinyiwei can be mobilized in Chang'an City?"

    "My lord less than eighty."

    A few days ago, cat ghosts rioted in Western Xinjiang, and the Anbu Jinyiwei stationed there hurriedly went to the imperial court to ask for help from the Duwei Mansion.

    Song Cheng immediately sent some Anbu Jinyiwei with higher cultivation and official positions, and asked them to lead a team to assist Xijiang.

    ?Thinking about it now, it seems a bit like a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.

    Concentrating his thoughts somewhat annoyedly, Song Cheng immediately recalled all the Jinyi Guards in Chang'an City, and rushed to the palace together.

    Of course, Qin Zheng and Gu Jiuling were also included.

    The falling snow of the lingering winter floated in the sky.

    ? Subtle and moist.

    When Shen Cong came to the East Palace, he found that the surroundings were quiet, and suddenly heard a slight breathing, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look over.

    Facing Shen Xiao, who was pregnant with Liujia in her upper body, she was wearing a big cloak and holding a grease umbrella, standing alone in the courtyard, staring blankly at the unblooming pear tree in front of her.

    "The weather is still cold, how can my sister-in-law spare her body so much." Shen Cong frowned and walked over quickly.

    Shen Xiaoshi looked sideways, and his eyes were once again startled.

    In a trance, it seems that he is still the son with warm eyes in his memory.

    "The weather is cold, Sanniang doesn't care about her body so much, she will be angry as a husband." With a smile in the corner of his eyes, there was no reproach in what he said.

    "Brother Yunji" Shen Xiaoshi's eyes turned red slightly.

    "Sister-in-lawit's me." Shen Cong was taken aback for a moment, and smiled wryly.

    Shen Xiaoshi came back to his senses, and opened his lips slowly: "It's A Cong, A Cong has lost a lot."

    She hid the disappointment in the corners of her eyes and gave a forced smile.

    "Sister-in-law, cat ghosts are besieging the palace, I'll take you in. I won't make a formation here, so don't come out, sister-in-law." Shen Cong smiled back, and his eyes suddenly became serious.

    Realizing that the situation was wrong, Shen Xiaoshi nodded in response, and with Shen Cong's support, he turned carefully and returned to the house.

    Shen Cong bought some silver charcoal for her, then went out, stood in the center of the courtyard, and practiced formulas. After setting up a formation in the East Palace, he took out the jade-faced keel fan around his waist, turned his head and stepped out, and left.

    Seeing his back disappearing in an instant, Shen Xiaoshi subconsciously covered her protruding belly.

    The life that has been carried on is beating slightly here.

    Shen Xiao's eyes turned red slightly.

    Brother Yunji, Sanniang will cheer up and protect the Central Plains that you want to protect.

    As long as she, Xiao Sanniang, is in this land under one's feet, barbarians will never even want to set foot on it!

    The palace was surrounded by the corpses of the Forbidden Forest Army. Countless cat ghosts stood on the corpses with their backs arched, staring at the most glorious palace with scarlet eyes.

    On top of that temple, there is a ghost-faced black robe standing facing the wind.

    He held a black flute in his hand, playing eerie and weird tunes.

    The cat ghost moved when he heard the sound, howled and rushed towards the palace.

    At that time, a palm wind suddenly struck from behind the ghost-faced black robe.

    This fellow dodged indifferently, turned his head and watched quietly.

    "His Royal Highness King Qin, long time no see, you are safe here." The ghost-faced black robe put down his flute and grinned ferociously.

    Shen Cong waved the fan, and waved forward again.

    The hurricane was born suddenly, accompanied by spiritual energy, blowing the ghost-faced black robe directly outside the palace.

    "Fighting in front of the army, set up the formation!" Shen Cong quickly made a seal with both hands, and slapped down with one palm.

    In an instant, the entire ground of the palace glowed with a strong luster.

    A huge formation suddenly appeared on the surface of the palace, nine goldThe dragons flew upwards from the center and from all directions, and quickly turned into a golden barrier with a dragon chant, blocking the cat ghost and the ghost-faced black robe.

    Seeing that the formation was settled, Shen Cong stepped forward and came straight to the ghost-faced black robe.

    "Why refine cat ghosts?" He stretched out his fan and pointed at the former.

    Shen Cong's gaze was exceptionally cold, and if he looked closely, he could vaguely see the overwhelming anger that had been suppressed.

    "Because, power." The ghost-faced black robe smiled brighter, and pointed behind Shen Cong, "Your Highness, your formation method doesn't seem to be very good."

    On the top of the formation, a huge black cat rushed from the void and slapped it on the top.

    The formation protecting the palace suddenly turned into golden fragments and dispersed.

    It's the cat ghost king!

    Shen Cong didn't turn around, but felt that the cat ghost king was approaching him quickly, and immediately moved towards the ghost-faced black robe.

    At this moment, all the cats moved together, trying to tear Shen Cong under the cat's claws.

    The ghost-faced black robe silently backed away a few steps, suddenly his expression froze, and he laughed again: "Master Hou, sneak attack is not a good skill."

    Yinyue spread out, and a three-foot long sword suddenly arrived at this guy's neck.

    The man holding the sword, with a face that is indistinguishable between male and female, is as cold as an exiled immortal, isn't it Gu Jiuling?

    Seeing that the ghost-faced black robe was in danger, the cat ghost king immediately turned around and rushed towards him.

    Come just in time, let him compete this time!

    Gu Jiuling squinted his eyes and turned his sword to attack the cat ghost king.

    In this small month, he practiced diligently, refined some of the spiritual power of the demon pill, and after steadily absorbing the precipitation, he also stepped into the realm of transforming pills.

    Somehow, Gu Jiuling always felt a voice in his heart telling him not to be afraid of that cat ghost king.

    "There is no need to be afraid of a mere B phase monster！！"

    This voice was ethereal and gentle, stimulating Gu Jiuling's sea of ??consciousness with strange encouragement.

    ?Amidst the strange circumstances, Gu Jiuling chose to believe, put aside the timidity deep in his heart, raised his long sword, and fought with the cat ghost king.

    Maybe it's because a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but this young man is evenly matched with the cat ghost king, and even has a faint tendency to overwhelm the cat ghost king.

    Seeing this, the ghost-faced black robe narrowed his eyes, and suddenly passed the flute in his hand to his lips.

    The weird flute sounded again.

    Here, Song Cheng and a group of Anbu Jinyiwei are surrounding and killing the cat ghost on the other side.

    Many cat ghosts have already taken advantage of the chaos and ran into the palace.

    The person living there is the ruler of the Celestial Dynasty, their emperor.

    If he made any mistakes, the heavenly dynasty would be in chaos!

    "You wait to kill the cat ghosts, Qin Zheng, and you lead a few people to follow me into the palace to kill the cat ghosts!" Song Cheng hurriedly said after beheading a dozen cat ghosts in front of him.

 Main Text Chapter 67 Cat Ghost Surrounds the Palace, Jin Yi Night Kills (2)

    After those people agreed, Song Cheng performed lightness kung fu, and secretly twisted formulas to pinch his spiritual power, and rushed to the palace at high speed.

    In Zichen Palace.

    Emperor Jing Yuan was wearing a cloak and was tightly surrounded by a group of imperial guards.

    He stared deeply at the noisy outer part of the palace, and clenched his fists tightly under the cloak.

    Ifif he still has dragon veins in Chang'an City！！

    How can these demons and ghosts be allowed to be presumptuous!

    At that time, seeing that Gu Jiuling and the cat ghost king had already started fighting, Shen Cong frowned slightly, remembering how Gu Jiuling lost control last time.

    It shouldn't be like this this time.

    "Fighting battle formation, the four phenomena of heaven and earth, and spirit beast formation!" Concentrating his thoughts, Shen Cong suddenly unfolded the jade-faced keel fan in his hand, shouted loudly, and slapped the ground with his palm.

    In an instant, the ground glowed with golden light, and an ancient magic circle appeared at Shen Cong's feet.

    The magic circle was divided into four and stood on all sides of Shen Cong.

    Four huge spirit beasts slowly walked out of the ancient formation and stood beside Shen Cong.

    "The array is in the east, Qinglong obeys orders!"

    "The formation is in the west, and the white tiger obeys orders!"

    "The array is in the south, Suzaku obeys orders!"

    "The array is in the north, Xuanwu obeys orders!"

    The four spirit beasts each turned into a slender son wearing a mask, bowing to Shen Cong together！！

    "Serve my lord, be proud!"

    Once the loud voice spread through the void, it abruptly shook away the cat ghosts coming from all directions.  The cat ghosts screamed in fear and gathered towards the cat ghost king.

    The cat ghost king was also intimidated by the coercion of these four-phase spirit beasts, almost restless.

    However, it was a monster of phase B after all, but it was only startled and then recovered, and quickly gave Gu Jiuling a blow.

    Gu Jiuling dodged it, smelling the smell of blood on his body, trembled suddenly, and a rage shot out from the corner of his eyes that Shen Cong didn't even notice.

    "Four Elephants obey the order, kill the cat ghost, and leave none behind!" Shen Cong pointed at the ghost-faced black robe, and opened his lips coldly.

    "Qinglong accepts the order!"

    "The white tiger takes orders!"

    "Suzaku accepts the order!"

    "Xuanwu accepts the order!"

    As soon as the four spirit beasts finished speaking, they each rushed to one side to assist Jin Yiwei in killing the cat ghost.

    Only Qinglong stayed behind, and raised his hand to lay an enchantment above the palace to stop those cat ghosts who wanted to run into it and bite Emperor Jing Yuan to death.

    Then he took out a long sword, leaned over and charged at the cat ghost king.

    Four-phase spirit beast?

    The ghost-faced black robe raised his eyebrows, took a big step back, and played the black flute again.

    The weird flute sound drifted from the void.

    Wisps of strange black air came out from the Hall of Acacia, and the cat ghosts who had been beaten to death all stood up with red eyes and rushed towards Shen Cong.

    The four-phase spirit beast intercepted it, and soon killed it again.

    At the same time, the woman in the Captain's Mansion suddenly opened her eyes.

    The originally black pupils turned into scarlet, she slowly got up, looking for the direction of the subtle flute sound, she floated out.

    "Your Highness, how long will it take to consume the spiritual power supporting the four-phase spirit beast?" The ghost-faced black robe laughed loudly, and played the flute again.

    The woman fell behind the ghost-faced black robe with the cold wind, her two fangs were exposed from her lips, and a pair of nails had become black and long！！she stood dully behind the ghost-faced black robe, spreading out from her body.  The black evil spirit constantly nourished the beaten Cat Ghost King.

    It's mother-child Gu!

    "Gu Jia Anxian, be careful!" Shen Cong subconsciously looked at Gu Jiuling.

    However, the scarlet color in Gu Jiuling's eyes was not less than that of this lady, even worse.

    Moreover, there seems to be a demonic aura about him

    Gu Jiuling stared sideways at herself, and then looked down at the long sword in her hand.

    "Kill the cat ghost king, don't be afraid."

    "Gu Jia Anxian, come back to your senses!"

    Two different voices intertwined and whirled in his mind, causing Gu Jiuling to murmur subconsciously while holding his head and grinning.

    Seeing the demonic aura on the former, the ghost-faced black robe showed a treacherous and sinister smile on his face.

    As I said, you and him are both demons and ghosts.

    "That being the case, why don't you choose to be loyal to me?"

    This light and ethereal voice quietly entered Gu Jiuling's mind.

    Qinglong stabbed the cat ghost king with a sword, and rushed towards the ghost-faced black robe while it was howling.

      At this time, the woman behind the ghost-faced black robe sharpened her eyes, screaming and rushed towards Qinglong.

    Qinglong raised his sword and was about to pierce the woman's heart, but Shen Cong suddenly shouted: "Qinglong, don't hurt this lady! Save her life!"

    The blade of the sword suddenly turned around and pierced into the woman's shoulder blade.

    The woman's complexion did not change, she still stretched out her black fingers towards the green dragon with her teeth and claws open, intending to stab it.

    A figure descended from the sky, and directly touched the woman's acupuncture points, causing her to only move her eyeballs, but her figure was firmly nailed to the spot.

    "She is the mother Gu of the mother-child Gu, to deal with the mother Gu, kill the child Gu first!" A yellow talisman was pasted on the woman's cheek, telling her to curb her black evil energy, Song Cheng turned to look at the sluggish cat next to her.  ghost king.

    The flute sounded again, but gradually drifted away.

    It turned out that it was the ghost-faced black robe who evacuated.

    When the cat ghost king heard the sound of the flute, he immediately turned into a cloud of green smoke and dispersed.

    Only the corpses of cat ghosts were left in a place of corruption.

    "Shen Cong, take good care of Gu Jiuling." After ordering Jin Yiwei to clean the palace, Song Cheng glanced complicatedly at a certain little lord over there holding his head.

    Although the magic power of the Half Immortal Demon Pill is powerful, Gu Xiaohouye's physique has not been tempered after all. Such a hasty refinement will eventually suffer some backlash.

    I just hope that this little master will not go crazy.

    Shen Cong twisted the formula to take back the four-phase spirit beast, calmed down his breath, bowed his head to Song Cheng, and after he left, he slowly approached Gu Jiuling.

    Gu Jiuling was already dripping with cold sweat from the pain, and couldn't stand upright.

    He was about to fall to the ground when he was limp, but the demonic aura in his body suddenly surged, causing him to stand up abruptly.

    "Ah!" Gu Jiuling roared like a wild animal, and stretched out his long sword to stab Shen Cong.

    Shen Cong stretched out his hand and grasped the long sword.

    The three-foot long sword was less than an inch away from Shen Cong's heart, and the bloody aura wafting from the open wound on Shen Cong's palm slowly stopped, and he kept moving forward.

    When the nostrils caught this ray of blood, the evil spirit on Gu Jiuling's body suddenly converged into the inner alchemy.

    And Gu Jiuling also woke up.

    He saw that he was holding the long sword and almost pierced Shen Cong's heart, his heart jumped suddenly, and he quickly let go and threw the long sword.

    "Shen Yunzhe, I didn't do it on purpose." Gu Jiuling looked at the long sword that fell to the ground, with guilt overflowing in his eyes.

    "I know." Shen Cong calmly used spiritual power to solidify the wound, and then patted him on the shoulder, "In the past two months, don't think about that demon pill again. If I see you secretly practicing again, I will  I will lock you into a dark room, facing the wall and thinking about the past."

    The black room he refers to does not refer to the black room where ordinary people are detained, but the prison cell constructed in the sea of ??consciousness.

 Main Text Chapter 68 Chasing the murderer in a large formation, Shen Xun is wanted

    Once locked in by Wai Li, except for the master of the sea of ????spiritual consciousness, that is, he himself can break through, even the person who imposed the black room cannot destroy the black room.

    And if the owner of the Sea of ??Divine Consciousness is restless, or goes mad, he will fall into it directly, leaving a body empty in this world and slowly decomposing, and finally turn into a handful of loess.

    "I see." Gu Jiuling was stunned, and silently picked up the long sword on the ground.

    After watching him go back to Prince Qin's mansion, Shen Cong couldn't control the violent demonic energy in his body anymore, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

    When Gu Jiuling heard the strange movement, he turned his head and saw Shen Cong, whose legs were limp and kneeling on the ground, his gaze changed immediately: "Shen Yunzhe!"

    It turned out that Gu Jiuling's blow just now directly passed the violent evil spirit in his body along the long sword to Shen Cong.

    After all, Shen Cong is only a mortal body, unable to withstand such a powerful evil spirit, his internal organs were instantly damaged, and his cultivation was almost broken by Gu Jiuling.

    I have to admit that Gu Jiuling's strength has completely surpassed that of an incompetent master who brought him in.

    "Gu Jia Anxian, I will teach you a formation technique, call Master Song, and other famous experts to come and observe, let them witness you, and find out the real culprit of the cat ghost case."

    Shen Cong coughed up a mouthful of blood, took Gu Jiuling's hand, and wrote a formula in his palm.

    The formula turned into golden light and instantly melted into Gu Jiuling's mind.

    The spirit-leading formation of the descendants of Guigu

    Is this the chance for Shen Yunzhe?

    "I'll lend you another immortal technique, don't use the magic in your body, let it calm down for a while." After coughing a few more times, Shen Cong left a systematic immortal technique in Gu Jiuling's hand.

    The demonic energy on Gu Jia Anxian's body was left by the armored demon, if used carelessly, there is a high probability that he will become possessed.

    He couldn't let Gu Jia Anxian take such risks.

    After some time he has recovered, he will go to see if there is any spiritual treasure in the space that can purify the demon power, and take it out as a gift to Gu's family, Anxian.  In this way, at least he will not go crazy in his cultivation.

    But if it is used improperly then it is difficult to say.

    Thoughts turned around but only for a moment, after Shen Cong finished writing the fairy art, his breath immediately languished, his neck tilted, and he passed out.

    In the end, it was Gu Jiuling who carried Shen Cong back to Prince Qin's mansion, and then asked Song Cheng for leave.

    By the way, he mentioned the spirit-guiding formation that Shen Cong taught him.

    Song Cheng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'm going to invite two great masters of Taoism and old casual cultivators I met in Jianghu. Also, this matter concerns the royal family. You go and invite the emperor to come to Duwei's mansion to observe together."  Set up formations to attract spirits."

    "Here." Gu Jiuling hurried to the palace to play Jing Yuandi.

    Emperor Jing Yuan pondered for a moment, thinking about entrusting the affairs of the court to King Chu and King Qi, and he himself had nothing to do, so he simply agreed.

    After half a month, people from all walks of life invited by Song Cheng finally gathered in the Captain's Mansion.

    Emperor Jing Yuan came in person with the imperial guards.

    For a while, many capable people and strangers gathered together to observe Gu Jiuling's arrangement of the spirit-leading formation together with the Anbu Jinyiwei, preparing to thoroughly investigate the real culprit of the cat ghost case.

    They have studied this formation and confirmed that it came from the Guigu sect, and there is also an authoritative and upright power who stood up and said that there is no possibility of fraud in this formation. This is why many spiritual practitioners gathered today to observe the magnificence of the formation  scene.

    Among them, there is also Shen Cong who is on leave to recuperate from his injuries.

    He wanted to see if that person was the one he thought of.

    That day when the woman was brought back to the Captain's Mansion by Song Cheng, Song Cheng personally sealed the mother Gu in the woman's body, even though the child Gu summoned her, the woman never changed at all.

    At the same time, the black air in the Hall of Acacia became more and more intense.

    This made Song Cheng also start to wonder if that person was what they had guessed, the cat ghost case that caused a sensation in Chang'an.

    Mao Shizheng.

    Gu Jiuling, dressed in Jinyiwei Feiyu Jinxiu official gown and a black gauze hat, walked slowly up the central area of ??the courtyard of the Duwei Mansion, bowed his head in all directions, and began to close his eyes and twist the formula.

    After a while, an ancient formation appeared under his feet, and a water curtain appeared in the center of the formation. A wide palm protruded from the water curtain and stretched towards Gu Jiuling.

    Gu Jiuling took the corpse of the cat ghost that Song Cheng handed over, and placed it carefully on the palm of his hand.

    The palm of the hand took the corpse of the cat ghost and retracted it into the water curtain.  The water curtain condensed for a moment, trembling violently, and suddenly turned into a figure, clearly floating above the formation.

    This appearance

    It's the fifth princeHis Royal Highness King Zhao?  !

    Emperor Jing Yuan also saw it,Subconsciously, my heart moved.

    No, it is impossible.

    Yunping is the child he watched growing up, he is so stupid, how could he be the culprit in the cat ghost case.

    At that time, the figure suddenly turned into a golden light and flew towards the palace.

    "I'll know when I follow up and have a look!" The two Taoist masters looked at each other, and took the lead to catch up with the golden light.

    All the great masters of casual cultivators also turned into streamers and escaped into the heaven and earth, and followed the aura. After Song Cheng and others asked Emperor Jing Yuan for instructions, they also followed up one after another.

    For a while, only Shen Cong, Emperor Jing Yuan, and Gu Jiuling were left on the scene.

    After dissolving the formation, Gu Jiuling suddenly felt exhausted.

    "The large spirit-guiding formation can be used once in half a lifetime, and the next time it will be used will be fifty years later." Shen Cong said to Gu Jiuling via voice transmission, "Gu Jia Anxian, you have done a good job."

    Gu Jiuling pulled a smile on his lips to cover up the disappointment between his brows.

    It would be great if this large spirit formation could help him track down the murderer of the Gu family murder case.

    "Father, it's snowing, let's go back to the palace." Shen Cong looked at the silent Emperor Jing Yuan again, and bowed to him from afar.

    Emperor Jing Yuan slowly raised his eyes, and this slender figure was reflected in his eyes.

    The appearance is the same as his Yunji, but his demeanor is more like that of a rebellious immortal.

    Thinking of Shen Ting's battered and riddled corpse, Emperor Jing Yuan's eyes turned red and he took a deep breath.

    "The evil starwhyyou weren't the one who came back sideways！" He turned his head and stumbled towards the palace, murmuring to himself.

    Both Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling were startled, and then both fell silent.

    The snow in the sky is getting bigger and bigger.

    Gu Jiuling looked at the expressionless Shen Cong, and subconsciously opened her lips: "Shen Yunzhe！"

    "It's important to investigate the case, let's go to the palace." Shen Cong looked at the heavy snow falling in the sky, his eyes were extraordinarily calm.

    He was originally alone, so what qualifications did he have to beg for family affection in this life.

    What's more, the queen mother died for him, and it is only natural that the emperor hated him.

    Here, the aura fell in the Hall of Acacia under the eyes of everyone, and finally condensed into the appearance of Shen Xun, standing firmly in the courtyard.

    But Shen Xun himself has disappeared without a trace.

    All indications show that Shen Xun is the most suspected murderer.

    Emperor Jing Yuan no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered Shen Xun to be wanted. Overnight, the identity of the king of Zhao changed drastically.  </div&gt

 Main Text Chapter 69 Mother and Child Gu Broken, True and False Shen Xun (1)

    Shen Cong returned to Prince Qin's mansion and stayed there for a few more days. When his injury was almost recovered, he remembered that there was still one person missing, so he simply changed into formal clothes and went to work in the Duwei's mansion.

    Song Cheng was quite surprised when he saw Shen Cong.

    "Healed?" He looked Shen Cong up and down, and seeing his ruddy complexion, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

    Seems to be a little more mellow, the previous thin appearance made him panic.

    "My subordinate's injury has recovered, thank you for your concern." Shen Cong twitched the corner of his mouth and bowed his head, "Where is that lady still?"

    Seeing this, Song Cheng slowly withdrew his joking expression: "In the imperial prison. The evil spirit in her body seems to have changed recently."

    It turned out that when Jin Yiwei pursued to the back of the Hall of Acacia that day, he did not find the figure of the interrogator. Emperor Jing Yuan was furious and did not even go in, so he ordered the Hall of Acacia to be sealed, and then ordered Song Cheng to lock up the evil spirits inside.

    The woman was not unusual at first, but evil spirits gradually emerged from her back, and she floated towards the Hall of Acacia, always attracting some cat ghosts, trying to break the restrictions set by Song Cheng, but they were all intercepted and killed by Anbu Jinyiwei halfway.

    Hearing the words, Shen Cong's eyes moved, and he quickly stepped out, taking the golden halo into the imperial prison.

    This move directly stared at the new Anbu Jinyiwei, who almost couldn't even handle the copywriting in their hands.

    Having grown so big, I have never seen such a high-level teleportation technique.

    His Royal Highness the King of Qin is an extraordinary person, he really deserves to be one of the new Five Heroes of the Central Plains!

    In the depths of the imperial prison, there was a woman with her head stuck to the Huangfu, bound in a formation, unable to move.

    Her body exuded an evil spirit, even the yellow talisman could not restrain it.

    A cold figure stood in front of the woman, and was sizing up the woman carefully. Suddenly, when he noticed a movement behind him, he subconsciously pulled out the sword from his waist and stabbed it.

    Two well-jointed fingers clamped the three-foot-long sword lightly.

    "Gu Jia Anxian, it's me." Shen Cong let go of his hand and grinned, "Why, you want me to ask for leave again?"

    "Be careful of being deducted from your salary by Mr. Song." Gu Jiuling twitched the corners of her mouth.

    The smile on Shen Cong's face stopped.

    Forget it, don't ask for leave, what can he eat without salary, and support the servants of Prince Qin's mansion.

    It really is one thing and one thing.

    A few Jin Yiwei who were secretly observing next to him clicked their tongues silently.

    Taking two steps forward, Shen Cong raised his eyes to look at the woman who was labeled as Huangfu, and frowned slightly.

    "My lord can't!"

    Under Jin Yiwei's exclamation, he stretched out his hand and tore off the yellow talisman, causing the woman to instantly open her bloodshot eyes.

    The woman looked gloomyly, and stretched out her hands forward, and the white and tender fingers instantly grew black and long nails.

    "Gu Jia Anxian, I will teach you a spell, and you and I will force out the female Gu in her body at the same time." Shen Cong narrowed his eyes.

    "Okay." Gu Jiuling nodded.

    Shen Cong wrote this formula in the void, then pulled out the jade-faced keel fan and tapped it lightly, and the formula flew into Gu Jiuling's mind instantly.

    After that, the two recited the formula together and chanted the mantra silently.

    A golden light floated in front of the two of them, and the golden light quickly melted into the woman's body, causing the woman to scream in pain. She wanted to run away but was locked in place by the formation, unable to move no matter what.

    "Stop messing around!" At that moment, a stern and ethereal voice came from Shen Cong.

    It turned out to be his ventriloquist.

    All the people present are spiritual practitioners, and they can feel how powerful the pressure of the soul is contained in it. Even Gu Jiuling couldn't help but tremble in his eyes, and almost mispronounced the spell.

    His Highness King Qin's cultivation seems to be only in the realm of alchemy, why is the soul coercion so terrifying!

    Could it be that His Highness is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?  !

    The royal guards were shocked.

    "Gu Jia Anxian, be careful." Shen Cong did not squint, and entered the secret passage through sound transmission.

    Gu Jiuling suppressed her shock and began to concentrate on chanting the mantra she was born with.

    The golden light enveloped the woman's whole body, and soon condensed in her abdomen, and then flew out.

    A huge worm was spat out by the golden light, fell to the ground in embarrassment, and began to struggle frantically.

    Shen Cong turned around, made a mudra with both hands, unfolded the jade-faced fan and swung it out. The golden light instantly transformed into a formation, pressing firmly on the worm.

    Without hesitation, he swung his fan again, killing the worm in just a moment.

    "Ding! Congratulations to the host for killing Ding Xiang's second-grade mother-child Gu and obtaining a first-grade detoxification pill!"

    It turns out that this creepy?? is the mother Gu.

    Once the mother Gu dies, the child Gu will perish in an instant, and there is no room for them to turn around.

    Shen Cong put away the keel fan, turned to look at the woman.

    The woman's complexion has returned to normal, her nails have also changed, and her bloodshot eyes have gradually become clearer.

    She was stunned for a moment, looking at the formation under her feet, looking at this terrifying and gloomy prison, her face turned pale.

    "Miss Yu, I've surprised you." Shen Cong raised his hand and withdrew the formation, and bowed his head to the woman.

    Concubine Yu?  !

    Everyone's eyes changed.

    How could she be Concubine Yu? Isn't Concubine Yu imprisoned in the Hall of Acacia?

    "Your Highness Seventh, where is my son Aping?" Concubine Yu recognized Shen Cong, stepped forward, grabbed Shen Cong's cuff and asked.

    "I don't know the whereabouts of Brother Wuhuang yet, so please be at ease, Mrs. Yu." Shen Cong lowered his eyes, and his voice was neither salty nor weak.

    Concubine Yu's heart felt cold, her body softened, she rolled her eyes, and passed out.

    Shen Cong had quick eyes and quick hands, picked it up horizontally, stared straight ahead, and walked out quickly.

    Gu Jiuling, who had recovered from the shock, and the Jin Yiwei who were looking at each other were left behind.

    When the woman woke up completely, Song Cheng immediately played to Emperor Jing Yuan, and Emperor Jing Yuan sent someone who had served Concubine Yu to identify the woman, who was indeed Concubine Yu.

    Now, everyone is stupid.

    Who is that in the Acacia Palace?

    This question lingers on everyone's mind.

    Shen Cong always felt that there was something strange, but he only deduced a trace of the answer, and then told Song Cheng.

    Song Cheng pondered for a while, and played Emperor Jingyuan again.

    Emperor Jing Yuan was annoyed by the questioning, so he simply handed over the case to Song Cheng, allowing him to enter and exit the Hall of Acacia at will.

    Song Cheng received the imperial edict, handed the imperial edict to Shen Cong, and handed over the case to Shen Cong.

    "Go." Song Cheng patted him on the shoulder, "You should go both public and private."

    Yu Gong, this is a great opportunity for Shen Cong to solve the case and make meritorious deeds; Yu privately, he, an outsider, cannot enter and leave the harem at will, so Shen Cong will not arouse criticism if he goes with the imperial decree.

    Shen Cong nodded, and took Gu Jiuling and a few Jin Yiwei to the sealed Acacia Hall that day.

    After entering, a smell of corruption floated into everyone's nostrils.

    They all sealed off their sense of smell and entered together.

    As soon as the gate of the Acacia Hall was pushed open, everyone was stunned.

    In the center of the Hall of Acacia, there are two corpses next to each other.

    One was dressed in the formal attire of a concubine in the harem, and the other seemed to be only a few years old, and the clothes on her body were stained with dust, and they were a little rotten.

 Main Text Chapter 70 Mother and Child Gu Broken, True and False Shen Xun (2)

    "It's the palace dress of Concubine Yu!" A Jin Yiwei recognized the woman's clothes, and immediately gasped.

    But isn't Concubine Yu standing in the Duwei's mansion alive?

    Who is that over there?

    "That's the puppet that carries the whole body of the child Gu. As for him" Shen Cong looked at the corpse of the draped boy, his eyes paused slightly on the longevity lock on the child's neck, and his voice repeated,

    "He is my real Brother Five. The one who is fleeing now is the twins who should have been strangled."

    Twins!

    The Jin Yiwei's eyes changed, and they felt that they had heard the incredible secret of the palace.

    At this time, it was related to the blood of the royal family. They did not hesitate to report it to Song Cheng immediately, and then carefully brought the two skeletons back to the Captain's Mansion.

    When the woman saw the dead body of the child, her gentle and calm gaze suddenly became dull.

    When Emperor Jing Yuan heard the news, she had already collapsed and fell to the ground, crying so hard that she couldn't make a sound.

    "What is the matter with the child's bones? Is the defector the fifth child?" Emperor Jing Yuan stared at the heartbroken woman, his eyes full of anger.

    He also recognized the longevity lock.

    That was the first birthday gift he personally gave to Shen Xun.

    "Your Majesty, Ping'er is your child, and he is your child too!" Concubine Yu, that is, the woman, pointed to the corpse and pointed outside, her eyes were extremely red.

    In her sobbing voice, a palace secret that had been concealed for eighteen years, as well as the origin of the cat ghost case, slowly surfaced.

    It turned out that eighteen years ago, Concubine Yu was a saintess of the Wu tribe in Miaojiang. Because she accidentally met Emperor Jingyuan who was going south, she fell in love with him at first sight, and then gave up the position of saintess and followed her to join the mansion as a concubine.

    In that year, the witch tribe was dissatisfied with the fact that the holy woman was willing to be a concubine, especially the patriarch who admired Concubine Yu, wished to kill Emperor Jing Yuan who was only a courtier of the Ming Dynasty at that time.

    The patriarch thought that Concubine Yu married into the mansion just because she was greedy for wealth and honor, so she had an idea.

    He wants to establish himself as emperor and let Concubine Yu return to his witch clan.

    That year, in the name of protecting the Young Son, the patriarch awakened the B-phase cat ghost that existed in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, took it to Chang'an, recognized the son abandoned by Concubine Yu as the master, and brought it back to Miaojiang to raise it himself.

    "Abandoned" Emperor Jing Yuan frowned.

    "Yes, the concubine did not only give birth to Ping'er, the concubine gave birth to twins." Concubine Yu smiled wryly.

    Twins!

    That's an ominous sign.

    It was precisely because this was an ominous omen that Concubine Yu was afraid that her two sons would be executed, so she bribed the midwife Wen Po and secretly sent the other child to Chang'an.  , you can bring it back to Miaojiang.

    Although the saint has betrayed her, her faith is still there.

    Concubine Yu's words, the authority among the witch clan is far better than that of the royal family.

    There was also the fact that the patriarch received a secret letter from the Wu clan and led the cat ghost to recognize the master.

    It was already the first year of Jingyuan in the Tian Dynasty when the abandoned son knew his life experience.

    He is determined to let the witch clan take power, and let himself replace Emperor Jing Yuan as the emperor.

    It was also from then on that the patriarch who had been plotting against him completely approved of the abandoned son, personally sent him back to Chang'an, killed the young Shen Xun, and let the abandoned son live in Chang'an instead of Shen Xun.

    In order to prevent things from being exposed, the fake Shen Xun did not hesitate to use the body of his mother Concubine Yu as a container for the mother's voodoo, and buried the body of his brother in the Hall of Acacia, using his resentment to gather Yin Qi and feed the cat ghost.

    After ten years of planning, it was also last year that the cat ghosts in the Quartet, under the covert manipulation of the fake Shen Xun who practiced evil, began to imitate the ancient method to kill people, or court officials, and create panic in the heaven.

    "Nizi, this Nizi!" After hearing this, Emperor Jing Yuan felt his blood surge up, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his throat.

    He instinctively blurred his eyes, rolled his eyes, and fell straight back.

    "Father!"

    "Your Majesty!"

    Everyone turned pale with shock, they all stepped forward, hurriedly lifted Emperor Jing Yuan, put him on the bed, and Song Cheng felt the pulse temporarily.

    "Your majesty just passed out from a panic attack. Take the emperor back to the palace to rest. As for Concubine Yu, please temporarily cooperate with your subordinates to perform official duties and find a fake Shen Xun." Song Cheng remained calm before the battle, and opened his lips to order in an orderly manner.  .

    Concubine Yu stared at Emperor Jing Yuan's sickly complexion, her eyes froze.

    After being stunned for a moment, she nods her head slowly and responds: "Okay."

    Perhaps, it was her silent indulgenceLove and guilt made today's big mistake.

    Mr. Shen, in your heart you must be blaming me.

    Concubine Yu lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly.

    After sending Emperor Jing Yuan away, the cat ghost case had a clear direction for investigation, and the Anbu Jinyiwei, who had been tense these days, finally had a chance to breathe.

    Song Cheng waved his hand generously, leaving a few who needed to patrol at night, and told the rest to go home and reunite with their families.

    Shen Cong went to the East Palace to visit Shen Xiaoshi, Qin Zheng went to the riverside painting boat to find a confidante, Song Cheng went to the courtyard outside the secret road, staring at the pear tree in a daze.

    As for Gu Jiuling, he chose to stay at the captain's mansion to patrol at night, and sort out the file of the cat ghost case by the way.

    This time, he finally had enough time to read Beizhen Fusi's Demon Records.

    Taking a deep breath, Gu Jiuling suppressed his excited thoughts, flipping through pages for traces of monsters, and finally saw such a record on a yellowed page

    "The person in the mirror turns into a demon. Yingli used to be the princess of Daqin, Yingzheng's direct sister, with a perverted and ruthless personality, and an extraordinary appearance.  Under the circumstances, he was refined into a man in the mirror with a secret method. Later, he was assimilated by a thousand-year-old demon, who hated the spiritual practice of pursuing longevity, and whoever saw it would be punished. His ancient mirror puppet technique is extremely evil and can kill the enemy invisible.  "

    The man in the ancient mirror

    Did she kill him, the Gu family?

    However, the Gu family seems to have no spiritual practice.

    Could it be that those few shadow guards with cultivation were discovered?

    Gu Jiuling slowly clenched his fists, a frightening cold light burst out from his eyes.

    "Young Master, don't act rashly." An easy-going voice suddenly came.

    Gu Jiuling raised her eyes, facing Song Cheng's deep eyes.

    He actually stood in front of him silently.

    Is this cultivation base really only in the Nascent Soul Realm?

    Gu Jiuling's eyes moved.

    "The person in the ancient mirror may be the enemy of your Gu family, but with your current strength, she can kill you with a snap of a finger." Song Cheng lowered his eyes, looked at that page, eyes flooded with  unknown light.

    At a certain moment, he sighed, and said quietly, "After all, I almost lost my life at her hands back then."

    "My lord has fought against the man in the mirror" Gu Jiuling grasped the key point of the words and breathed heavily.

 Main Text Chapter 71

    "I've fought against each other before." Song Cheng nodded.

    On that day, he realized how ridiculous his youthful arrogance was.

    It was also on that day that he lost the most important person in his life.

    Song Cheng's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then became dull again.

    He put away the Beizhen Fusi demon record, pulled Gu Jiuling up, patted the dust on his shoulder, and slowly opened his lips: "Young Lord, the thing to do now is to recharge your energy. When you have enough practice  After crushing that big demon, Hou Ye will go to avenge the family. As the saying goes, ten years is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

    Gu Jiuling was silent for a moment, then nodded in response: "Okay."

    One day, he will kill his enemies with his own hands.

    These days, after Concubine Yu thought about it, she was finally willing to help Song Cheng arrest Shen Xun.

    She took out the secret technique of Miaojiang and gave Shen Xun's trace. Song Cheng quickly led people to pursue it in person, leaving Shen Zong and several official guards in Chang'an to guard in Chang'an, just in case.

    At that time, Ling Junhan walked into the palace with red makeup and asked to marry Princess Changle Shen Chao.

    When Emperor Jing Yuan saw that Lang had a love affair with a concubine, he waved his hand and issued an imperial decree, ordering Qin Tianjian to get married on a good day and auspicious day.

    On the seventh day of the middle of March, Shen Chao and Ling Junhan got married.

    On that day, Shen Chao wore the phoenix coronet and Xiapei drawn by Ling Junhan himself, carried by Shen Cong, and walked out of the palace step by step.

    "Jiaojiao, my brother wishes you to be as good as your eyebrows, and grow old together. Over the years, let Mu Feng of the Ling family accompany you to see all the splendor. Today, my brother replaces the emperor and sends you to marry." Shen Cong carried Shen Chao on his back.  , said slowly.

    Hearing this familiar voice and appearance, Shen Chao was in a trance unconsciously, thinking that it was the gentle prince brother who had returned.

    Shen Chao's eyes turned red slightly when he thought of the brother prince who held him to the bone and loved him dearly.

    "Thank you, Brother Seventh Emperor." Shen Chao whispered back to him.

    Shen Cong smiled but said nothing, but his eyes were slightly red.

    Brother Huang, if you were here, you would have given Jiaojiao more advice than Yun Zhe.

    On this day, Princess Changle's red makeup is full of red makeup, which is the first princess wedding since the founding of the Celestial Dynasty.

    The magnificence of the scene has been admired and envied by countless people.

    May this pair of golden boy and jade girl hold the hand of their son and grow old together.

    Dugu Xiaoyu looked at the grand red makeup, her eyes were full of longing.

    "He Qi, is this the big wedding in the Central Plains?" She pointed to the eight-carried bridal sedan chair going away, with an unknown meaning in her eyes.

    "Princess Hui, yes." He Qi lowered his eyes and slowly bowed his head.

    "In the future, will you marry me like this?" Dugu Xiaoyu asked with a smile.

    He Qi was startled.

    Marry her?

    He lowered his eyes and bowed again: "The princess is teasing He Qi, He Qi is just a shadow guard, not worthy of the princess' noble appearance."

    "It's really boring." Dugu Xiaoyu curled her lips, and stopped talking to this wooden person.

    On the sixth day of the first ten days of April, Shen Xiao gave birth to Shen Ting's posthumous son.

    Although it was less than a month, Emperor Jing Yuan still happily pardoned the world, and personally took the small character "Ping An" for him.

    At the same time, Emperor Jingyuan issued an edict to establish him as the grandson of the emperor, invited the famous Confucian Gu Yanwu to be the grandson and tutor, and bestowed the land of Chang'an City.

    That's right, Emperor Jing Yuan bestowed the entire Chang'an City as a fief to his eldest grandson. This is an unprecedented move, which shows how much he loves this grandson of the emperor.

    However, this move also caused dissatisfaction among the other princes who were crowned kings.

    Of course, except for Shen Cong.

    The moment the little nephew was born, Shen Cong sent the golden longevity lock he had made to it - he added the aura of heaven and earth to it, which could nourish his weak body and ensure that he grew up safely.  Will die young.

    ? On the ninth day of the first ten days of May of the same year, cat ghosts appeared in Turkic Yanjing, besieging the city and killing the remaining Central Plains people inside.

    The Turkic King was still constrained by Hou Jin and the Huns, and did not have too many troops. He only sent a 100,000 elite cavalry to assist Yanjing.

    Unexpectedly, for some reason, the cavalry rebelled, killed the general in power, and obeyed the dispatch of a ghost-faced black robe, and attacked the Great Wall of China in the east.

    At that time, the Great Wall of China was being built, and there were not many soldiers, most of whom were slaves who built the Great Wall.

    This cavalry attacked the Great Wall with a fierce attack, sacrificed the heads of almost all soldiers and slaves to heaven, and vowed to attack Huanglong directly.

    Then began to harass the western border of the Celestial Dynasty.

    When the battle reached Chang'an, it was already a day later.

      Emperor Jing Yuan was furious, and after imprisoning Dugu Xiaoyu, he immediately asked who was going to expel the Turkic army.

    The court was silent, but King Chu and King Qi were eager to try.

    At that time, Shen Xiao came from the East Palace in armor and expressed his willingness to go to the battlefield.

    "My husband once regretted not accepting the land of Yanjing. At present, my minister is willing to take the place of my husband, lead the army to support, and take back the land of Yanjing along the way, and implore my father to make it happen!"  Er Bajing's military salute was full of solemnity, and there was no sign of jokes.

    It was also at this moment that Emperor Jing Yuan realized that his daughter-in-law was a descendant of the general and a female general who had been on the battlefield.

    Today, she petitioned to go to war, not only to defend her family and country, but also for Yunji's long-cherished wish to regain the Central Plains.

    But Shen Xiaoshi, she still has Little Changan.

    This battle is very dangerous, and it may even be gone forever, so he asked in the court who volunteered to fight.

    Emperor Jing Yuan's eyes turned red, he hesitated for a moment, and was about to reject Shen Xiao, but the latter knelt straight on the top of the hall, kowtowed three times: "I implore the father to allow your son to fight on behalf of your husband!"

    At this moment, everyone was silent, even King Qi and King Chu.

    It is true that there is a secret fight for the throne, but the prince and brother are the elder brothers that all their brothers respect.

    Therefore, they will definitely respect the long-cherished wish of the emperor's brother.

    It was also because of this that at this time they all chose to remain silent, and no longer competed with Shen Xiaoshi about going to war.

    Emperor Jing Yuan looked at her resolute gaze, frowned for a long time, and then slowly drooped his eyelashes: "Okay."

    When Shen Cong knew that Shen Xiaoshi was going to lead the army, she had already ordered troops at the gate of the city and was about to leave Chang'an.

    "Sister-in-law, you are ridiculous! What should you do if your name is Chang'an!" Shen Xun stepped in front of Shen Xiaoshi, frowning at the latter in military uniform.

    "Ah Cong, my sister-in-law is going to fulfill your brother's long-cherished wish. That is also my father's long-cherished wish. It is the long-cherished wish of the older generation of courtiers who lost that piece of land and couldn't see it return to the arms of my Chinese Han people."

    Shen Xiaoshi smiled slightly, his eyes were clear and resolute, "I will fight for them in this battle."

    She glanced sideways at the red tasseled spear, her gaze deepened slightly.

    This is Shen Ting's weapon, accompanying him everywhere.

    Now, she wants to take it with her to fulfill his long-cherished wish.

    Even if she were to dedicate herself to the battlefield and her soul dies in the west, she would be happy with it.  </div&gt

 Text Chapter 72 Encountered an ambush, the soul fell to Yanjing (1)

    Shen Cong saw the determination in her eyes, and knew that Shen Xiaoshi must fly away in this battle.

    In desperation, Shen Cong bowed his head and bowed: "I wish the general a triumphant return!"

    Shen Xiaoshi nodded, raised the red-tasseled spear with his backhand, jumped on the white horse, turned his head to face the city gate, raised the spear and opened his lips loudly: "Let's go!"

    The army moved together, and the people bowed together to see them off！！

    "I wish the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty regain the land of Yanjing and return to the court triumphantly!"

    Looking at the hunting red cloak flying in the wind, and the melodious horns rising in all directions, Shen Cong felt a sense of solemnity in his heart.

    Perhaps, this is the feeling of family and country.

    "That guy has controlled Yanjing, and he wants to make a comeback. If you fight that person with the princess's wrist, you may fall into danger." Gu Jiuling suddenly appeared beside Shen Cong, and opened his lips lightly.

    "With Mr. Song around, my sister-in-law shouldn't be like this." Shen Cong shook his head.

    Having said that, he always had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

    Just like at that time, the feeling of the emperor's brother fighting with the Dali Japanese pirates.

    "I hope so." Gu Jiuling took out a scroll from his cuff, unfolded it for a look, then turned his head and walked towards the bustling Chang'an Street.

    He revealed the list and had to catch the demon.

    Shen Cong looked at Gu Jiuling who was leaving, and then at the leaving army.

    Sister-in-law, you must return safely.

    You still have little Chang'an, and you still have to watch him grow up to become the heir apparent.

    Shen Cong clenched his fist quietly, turned his head and walked towards an alley, hesitated for a moment, stepped out with one step, and disappeared in place immediately.

    In the distance, Gu Jiuling felt the breath of magic, and his cold eyes moved slightly.

    He still followed.

    On the 4th day of the middle ten days of the fifth month, the army of the Celestial Dynasty arrived near Yanjing and was stationed thirty miles away.

    Shen Xiao sent spies to check the situation in Yanjing, but found that the spies hadn't returned for a long time, and immediately frowned.

    It seems that this time, the opponent is very difficult.

    "General, someone outside asked to see him, and told his subordinates to bring a token to the general. The general will know who is coming at a glance." At that time, a soldier came in from the outside, clasped his fists and said.

    Shen Xiaoshi nodded.

    The soldier immediately presented a token.

    Shen Xiaoshi took it, took a closer look, got up and walked out immediately.

    Outside the barracks, a group of men in black flying fish robes stood upright on the snowy ground, staring straight ahead.

    ?The man in the lead had an easy-going complexion, shrewd eyes, and looked very difficult to mess with.

    "Tell Master Song to wait for a long time." Shen Xiaoshi walked quickly, clasped his fists and bowed to the crowd.

    It turned out that this group of people was Song Cheng and a group of Jin Yiwei.

    That day Song Cheng came in pursuit and found that cat ghosts gathered in Yanjing - after all, it was still a Turkic land, he couldn't rush in, so he could only wander around the border.

    Unexpectedly, what happened today, Song Cheng hurried over after hearing the news.

    "Wei Chen has met the Tai general!" Song Cheng led the guards in brocade with their hands clasped together and bowed their heads.

    He admired this female general very much.

    "Let's talk in detail inside." Shen Xiaoshi smiled slightly and welcomed everyone into it.

    Inside the commander's tent, Song Cheng took the lead and said: "General, there seems to be something strange about the cat ghost. Please also ask the general to take the humble officials and wait to find out first."

    "Okay. Tonight you go to visit Yanjing first." Shen Xiaoshi nodded.

    "Here." Song Cheng responded.

    At night, everyone changed into night clothes, and was about to use the talisman to travel thousands of miles to Yanjing, but suddenly ran into an acquaintance.

    "Shen Cong?" Song Cheng's complexion changed, "What are you doing here? Go back to Yanjing!"

    "Catching cat ghosts is also the responsibility of the subordinates. The subordinates have the teleportation technique, so they can take the adults with them, and you all go directly to Yanjing. My lord, grab the corners of the subordinates." Shen Cong bowed slowly, "There is no delay, please  Don't hesitate, everyone."

    Everyone looked at each other, and under someone's calm expression, they slowly lined up and put on the back of the person in front of them. When Shen Cong recited the formula, they all felt dizzy.

    A golden light flashed, and the next moment they were outside Yanjing.

    As soon as they landed, everyone faced groups of cat ghosts and the black robe with ghost faces.

    "His Royal Highness, long time no see, don't come here in good health." Standing on top of a pile of skeletons in a black robe with a ghost face, holding a black flute in his hand, he looked at Shen Cong with a smile.

    It was just his smile, but it didn't reach his eyes.

    the"Kill!" Song Cheng ordered coldly, pulled out the Xiuchun knife first, and stepped towards the ghost-faced black robe.

    Everyone agreed, and went their separate ways, beheading those cat ghosts exuding black aura.

    "Today, I will let you have a taste of my one hundred thousand Yin soldiers!" The ghost-faced black robe smiled fiercely, jumped onto the city wall, and raised his flute.

    The strange sound of the flute floated outside instantly, and the people living in the city were panicked, and they shrank more and more in their own houses, not daring to speak out.

    On the streets of the city, a group of pale-faced soldiers in Turkic armor lowered their heads, motionless like sculptures.

    However, if you look closely, you can see bursts of black evil energy exuding from them, which looks terrifying.

    When the low voice floated over, the soldiers opened their eyes in unison, their eyes turned white, without any normal luster.  With veins all over their faces, they walked out of the city at a stiff and slow pace.

    At first it was extremely slow, but then it got faster and faster, far exceeding ordinary people, not like strangers.

    "Soldiers possessed by evil spirits, sucking the essence of living people! How dare you use such an evil method!" Song Cheng leaped up the city wall, and when he saw the soldiers coming in groups, his eyes suddenly changed, "Listen to the orders, turn to the sky  Evacuate towards the barracks, don't hesitate!"

    "My lord!" The Jinyi guards were anxious.

    If they leave, what will my lord do?

    "Whoever does not obey the order, I will be executed!" Song Cheng roared.

    At that time, a barrier suddenly appeared behind Jin Yiwei, and infinite suction floated out from inside, taking away all Jin Yiwei in an instant.

    It turned out that it was Shen Cong who activated the teleportation technique and sent the Jin Yiwei directly to the military camp of the Celestial Dynasty.

    Withdrawing the spell, Shen Cong held the jade-faced keel fan tightly, and looked coldly at the group of soldiers raising their weapons.

    What a spectacular scene for one person to face off against one hundred thousand Yin soldiers.

    "Do you think you are the only one who can borrow soldiers?" Shen Cong smiled, and slapped the ground with his palm the moment the Yin soldiers rushed towards him.

    "Fighting against the enemy, borrow troops!"

    It was too late and then soon, a huge formation suddenly appeared under Shen Cong.

    Countless soldiers in bronze battle armor sprang out from the tactics, abruptly blocking those Yin soldiers.

    Song Cheng lowered his eyes and looked, although the bronze soldier was only 50,000, his aura was extremely arrogant.

    Shen Cong, is this your strength?

    Song Cheng's gaze changed slightly.

    "Listen to the order, kill the Yin soldiers, and leave none behind!" Shen Cong raised his lips and pointed at the one hundred thousand Yin soldiers.

    "Your subordinates take orders!" The bronze soldiers replied in unison.

    "kill!"

    I don't know who yelled, and the bronze soldiers rushed to the ranks of the Yin soldiers.

    ? The war is about to break out

 Text Chapter 73 Encountered an ambush, the soul fell to Yanjing (2)

    Song Cheng and the ghost-faced black robe stood on the city wall together, watching the bronze soldiers and the Yin soldiers fighting below.

    At a certain moment, the ghost-faced black robe suddenly played the flute.

    A black ancient formation emerged under him. The ancient formation passed through the city wall and fell at the feet of the Yin soldiers.

    Shen Cong remained calm in the face of danger, he made a seal with both hands, and chanted mantras.

    "Fighting in front of the army, borrow the law!" Shen Cong shouted loudly, and the immortal law in the system suddenly condensed on the jade-faced keel fan.

    He swung his fan forward, and the magic went away with the wind, turning into golden threads and melting into the bronze soldier's body.  The bronze soldier seemed like a fish in water, his morale was boosted in an instant, and he killed a whole fifty thousand Yin soldiers in one go!

    The expression of the ghost-faced black robe changed.

    impossible!

    The qi he borrowed from his Yin soldiers all came from the Underworld of Yin Cao. The power of evil spirits is extraordinary, and it was refined by living people - it is reasonable to say that it should be more powerful than ordinary Yin soldiers. How could it be?  so weak?  !

    "You have to know that evil can never prevail against good." Shen Cong wiped the corners of his lips, suppressed the fishy sweetness that came up from his throat, and smiled.

    Song Cheng sensed his strangeness, and without hesitation, he pulled out the embroidered spring knife and looked at the ghost-faced black robe.

    The ghost-faced black robe suddenly turned into a pool of green smoke and scattered.

    He condensed on the other side of the city wall, staring at Shen Cong darkly.

    "Shen Cong, don't be complacent, Xiao Yuan's life is sealed, you can't keep it!" Seeing that the Yin soldiers were beaten and retreated steadily, and even showed signs of collapse, the ghost-faced black robe knew that this time  It was impossible to kill Shen Cong, so he sneered and disappeared into a cloud of green smoke.

    Looking at Shen Cong again, his gaze changed after hearing the ghost-faced black robe.

    Xiao Yuan is the maiden name of the emperor's sister-in-law.

    At that time, the bronze soldiers completely killed all the Yin soldiers, and all of them turned into golden light and dispersed.

    Shen Cong took out the firework signal prepared in advance and set it up in the dark night sky, so that Shen Xiaoshi in the distance could see it clearly.

    Without hesitation, she immediately led the army into Yanjing, and then took down the Turkic flag and replaced it with the Celestial flag.

    This book belongs to the Central Plains, since it fell into their hands, there is no way for her to return it.

    Even if she has to bear the infamy, she is willing.

    After appeasing the people in the Central Plains of the city, Shen Xiaoshi looked at Shen Cong, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "A Cong, you have done a good job this time, and told me to take back Yanjing without a single soldier."

    "Sister-in-law, Mr. Feng Xiao took Gu Zhi to the Turkic capital to negotiate Yanjing. Sister-in-law, don't be ashamed, Yanjing is part of my Central Plains." Shen Cong smiled back, and comforted Shen Xiao in turn.

    Shen Xiaoshi nodded: "Go back to Chang'an, I will stay here for a while, and I will return to Beijing when the garrison comes over. Oh, by the way, A Cong, give me this thing as a gift of peace."

    After finishing speaking, Shen Xiao took out a bulging brocade pouch from his bosom, and handed it over.

    "This is" Shen Cong took it and weighed it.

    A little heavy.

    "This is the safety of our family, and the future depends on it." Shen Xiao looked sideways, and looked at the red tasseled spear standing upright beside him, with a gentle look in his eyes.

    Shen Cong was silent for a moment, then nodded and put it in the Qiankun bag, and then followed Song Cheng and a group of Jinyi guards, and used the teleportation technique to go straight back to Chang'an City.

    For some reason, he still felt a little uneasy.

    On the third day of late May, Su Bai went to the Turkic capital alone, successfully negotiated with his own strength, and after persuading the Turks to return the land of Yanjing, he returned to the Central Plains safely with Gu Zhi.

    As soon as this move was made, Su Fengxiao's name became famous all over the world again.

    On the sixth day of late May, the Turks changed their minds before the battle. The Turkic king ordered 200,000 soldiers and joined an army of 100,000 Japanese pirates to go east, intending to seize Yanjing.

    Shen Xiao led the army to defend Yanjing to the death, preventing 300,000 enemy soldiers from entering the Forbidden City.

    But after all, the enemy was outnumbered, and the ammunition and food were exhausted. The people in the city volunteered to fight one after another. They took out the food and grass stored in the whole city to offer, but they still couldn't make up for it.

    The spies sent by Shen Xiao and the officers and soldiers who sent the news were all intercepted and killed halfway.

    This time, they were in a real deadlock.

    On the tenth day of late May, the spies finally ran out of Yanjing and went to Chang'an to seek reinforcements.

    ? On the same day, under the blessing of the ghost-faced black robe and its dark soldiers, the Turkic soldiers stormed Yanjing, and Yanjing fell again.

    Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and people of the Celestial Dynasty were wiped out. Shen Xiao fought alone at the gate of the city, and was hit by dozens of arrows, but he still didn't let go of the red-tasseled spear in his hand.

    ?Shooting away the Turkic soldiers with one shot, Shen XiaoshiHis helmet shattered, and a half-white hair scattered in the wind.

    She stared at the group of black troops in front of her with eyes splitting, and the ghost-faced black robe leading the way slowly.

    "Sister-in-law Huang, long time no see, don't come here without any problems." The ghost-faced black robe slowly took off the mask, revealing a face that was so pale that there was no blood, and smiled slightly.

    Shen Xiaoshi spat out a mouthful of blood, clenched the red tasseled spear tightly in his hand, and suddenly exerted force, stabbing forward.

    Immediately, Turkic soldiers stepped forward and blocked her way with siege arrows.

    Just like that, Shen Xiao was nailed in place by the thick siege arrows.

    She spat out another mouthful of blood, and her eyes finally showed signs of laxity.

    "Boom!"

    Only a clear and loud noise was heard, and the blood-stained red-tasseled gun fell to the ground, overlapping with the downed banner of the Celestial Dynasty.

    There were corpses all over the ground, and rivers of blood flowed all over the ground.

    "San Niang, Yun Ji is proud to have you in this life."

    "Sanniang, take care of yourself."

    "Brother Yunji, the third mother of the Xiao family, will guard the frontier on your behalf."

    "Shen's family motto, the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies. If the royal family is like this, how can we common people be cowardly! What's wrong with building the Great Wall with flesh and blood?! Why fear Japanese pirates and Turkic barbarians!  , will be executed even if it is far away!"

    ?Recalling Shen Ting's words about going out to battle, and thinking about his own words about ordering troops when he went out that day, the sadness and desolation in Shen Xiao's eyes was infinitely magnified at this moment.

    After all, they were still no match for their strong attack, causing Yanjing to fall again.

    Brother Yunji, Sanniang can't hold on to this land under her feet, but！！

    "My soul and I are with the Central Plains!" With the last of his strength, Xiao Yuan pulled himself away from the siege arrows, squatted down and held the banner of the Celestial Dynasty, standing still and shouting.

    There are countless feathered arrows coming from the sky.

    At this moment, this heroic figure was frozen here.

    Her breathing, her resolute and determined eyes, were captured by the Turkic army.

    Such a female general is really a hero.

    Even the Japanese pirates couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

    On the second day of the first ten days of June, when King Qi and King Chu arrived with 300,000 cavalry from the Celestial Dynasty, there were no more Turkic and Japanese soldiers in Yanjing.

    There are only corpses all over the floor, and

    The female general who was nailed to the city wall and was unwilling to let go of the banner of the Celestial Dynasty until she died.

    ?No one is shocked by this, and no one does not hate Turkic and Japanese pirates for this.

    On this day, Chu Wang Shen Jue and Qi Wang Shen Lin led the army of the celestial dynasty, knelt down and bowed their heads together to bid farewell to their princesses.

 Main Text Chapter 74: Shen Xun's Treason, Cat Ghost's Rebellion (1)

    ?On the third day of the first ten days of June, the army, led by King Shen Jue of Chu, made a triumphant return.

    On the fourth day of the first ten days of June, Yanjing was included in the land of the Celestial Dynasty. Under the oppression of the Hou Jin and the Huns, the Turks were forced to admit the return of Yanjing.

    Because of this, the Turks and the Celestial Dynasty completely tore apart their skins.

    In order to prevent Turks from harassing the frontier, Emperor Jingyuan ordered Qi Wang Shen Lin to guard the northwest area.

    On the fifth day of the first ten days of June, the army arrived in Chang'an with Shen Xiao's body.

    The whole country of the Celestial Dynasty was dressed in sackcloth, and Shen Xiao was buried in the Shengling Mausoleum as a national funeral, and was buried with Prince Zhanghuai.

    While Emperor Jingyuan was sad, he posthumously conferred the title of Mrs. Shen Xiao as Zheng Yipin to protect the country, bestowed a gold medal to avoid death and the Xiao family, and generously rewarded the disciples of the Xiao family who participated in this battle.

    The next day, Song Cheng also came back, and brought the news that the fake Shen Xun had treasoned and defected to the Turks.

    Somehow he became the great general of the Turks, and he wanted to lead an army of 500,000 Turks to the east to attack Yanjing, and drive straight to Chang'an.

    Emperor Jing Yuan was furious, and immediately ordered all the officers and men of the court to come up with a plan to capture the fake Shen Xun.

    At the same time, the cat ghosts who had been lurking near Chang'an for many years quietly woke up under the call of Shen Xun from afar, and attacked Chang'an City together.

    For a while, people in Chang'an were panicked, and there was great chaos in the city.

    After Song Cheng set up the formation and tightly protected the palace, he led the Jinyi guards to chase and kill the cat ghost.

    Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling are among them.

    Shen Cong immediately noticed the strangeness of these cat ghosts.

    "My lord, they are the products of the underworld. They are quite different from the cat ghosts in the yang world. If they are bitten to death or scratched by them, they may mutate into living dead and obey the orders of the fake Shen Xun." Shen Cong put down the cat ghost corpse in his hand, according to the system  Judgment based on the given information.

    Song Cheng nodded: "That's right."

    He looked at the two of them, and suddenly said: "You two go to guard the palace, don't let cat ghosts come near. My formation can only resist the evil things in the underworld, and the creatures in the underworld are very fierce, and the formation will disappear soon.  .￣

    "My lord, there is a shortage of royal guards in the city！" Shen Cong frowned.

    "I have invited strong old friends in Jianghu, you don't have to worry. As long as you survive these two days, after they arrive, we can work together to kill the cat ghost, and set up a defense formation in Chang'an, so that Prime Minister Yi  The demons and ghosts below dare not break into it again."

    Song Cheng waved his hand and urged impatiently, "Okay, let's go, if you're slow, I'm going to deduct the bonus from you two."

    "here."

    Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling twitched their mouths and looked at each other. Shen Cong performed the teleportation technique and led the latter straight to the palace.

    Song Cheng looked at the dark sky in the distance, his eyes moved slightly.

    It's time to propose to the emperor and bring up that matter.

    At that time, Concubine Yu, who was imprisoned by Emperor Jingyuan in the Duwei Mansion, was looking in the direction of Turkic with dull eyes.

    If this child hadn't been abandoned back then, would he have grown up happily like Ping'er

    Oh, she forgot, Ping'er didn't grow up either.

    Concubine Yu's eyes rolled down a tear.

    She moved her cuffs, and a white silk slipped out suddenly.

    Taking a deep breath, Concubine Yu's eyes gradually calmed down, like a pool of stagnant water, without any ripples.

    Shen Cong stood on the top of the formation, and after blessing and transforming it with his own spells, he stood on the city wall, looking at the Jin Yiwei and the cat ghost who were fighting desperately outside.

    "Why don't you help your lord?" Gu Jiuling walked up the city wall and looked into the distance with him.

    "Follow orders." Shen Cong yawned, his eyes gradually becoming lazy.

    "The Shen Yunzhe I know has never been a person who obeys orders." Gu Jiuling glanced at him lightly.

    "Gu Jia Anxian will not always obey orders."

    "This time, you are guarding here for that person." Gu Jiuling looked at the corner of Chang'an again. Those people who were killed by innocent people turned into living dead. They stood up tremblingly, and went to bite others.  .

    "I'm here for peace."

    "Is it really just for the grandson?" Gu Jiuling raised an eyebrow.

    " Seriously."

    Gu Jiuling laughed: "Your heart can't deceive you. Although he doesn't want to see you, you still care about family affection, and you still want to give him a little bit."

    Shen Cong also laughed, then fell silent.

    Chang'an City remains the same, but there are fewer people.

    Shen Cong turned his head and subconsciously looked at Donggong.

    Faintly, in a tranceWhat I heard was the string of gentle and delicate laughter.

    Brother Huang Sister-in-law Huang Changshengtian will definitely extradite you to reincarnate.

    May what you see in the next life when you open your eyes is the prosperity and peace you have been looking forward to.

    The massacre was still going on, the cat ghosts were killing more and more, and the number of Jin Yiwei was gradually decreasing.

    After all, Shen Cong couldn't stand it anymore, and after telling Gu Jiuling to guard the palace, he jumped down from the city wall and rushed towards the crowd of living dead with the Xiuchun knife.

    When Emperor Jing Yuan came up, what he saw was Shen Cong's jumping back.

    His heart skipped a beat, and he stretched out his hand subconsciously.

    "Old Seven！"

    Gu Jiuling was looking at Shen Cong who killed the living dead. Hearing the voice behind him, he turned his head and bowed his head in worship: "I have seen the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

    "You don't have to be polite, you kid from the Gu family." Emperor Jing Yuan waved his hand, walked to the city wall and looked down, his gaze changed slightly.

    The veins on the faces of the living dead were bulging, the pupils of the eyes were white, and the sides of the lips were purple.

    And Shen Cong walked through it with a calm expression, and he flexibly flipped the Xiuchun knife in his hand. The white knife went in and the red knife went out. Wherever it passed, the living dead would fall down.

    He has grown up, he is no longer the old Qi who needed He Qi's protection back then.

    Realizing this, Emperor Jing Yuan's eyes became a little complicated.

    Queen, you have always said that your greatest pride is Lao Qi.

    Is it because he was born with spirituality, or because he has always had a hidden way of governing the country.

    "Your Majesty, Your Highness has always regarded the Emperor as a family member, and has never thought of being divorced." Gu Jiuling suddenly opened his lips.

    Emperor Jing Yuan was taken aback.

    Have you never thought about centrifuging?

    He gave a wry smile.

    But I, at the moment of his birth, had separated from him.

    His favoritism and love for the prince has attracted worldwide attention.

    That's all, if this time, his Chang'an City can survive this catastrophe, he will definitely re-examine Shen Cong.

    From a father's point of view.

    A few days later, Anbu Jinyiwei, who was called back to Beijing, and spiritual practitioners from all corners of the country came together, including a few people Shen Cong knew.

    For example Zhou Hang, for example Ling Junhan.

    Ling Junhan didn't bring Shen Chao with him when he returned to Beijing this time. Firstly, he was afraid that she would be harmed unnecessarily, and because she was pregnant, it was not suitable for her to travel far.

    So Ling Junhan came to Beijing alone, and joined forces with Jin Yiwei to kill cat ghosts and defend Chang'an City.

    During seven days and seven nights of endless massacres, the cat ghosts were finally wiped out.

    And the price paid for this is the corpses of half of the people in the city, as well as hundreds of dead Jinyiwei, and some Jianghu spiritual practitioners.

 Main Text Chapter 75: Shen Xun's Treason, Cat Ghost's Rebellion (2)

    ,

    Looking at the devastated and desolate scene, Emperor Jing Yuan sighed slightly and remained silent for a long time before slowly opening his lips: "Let's have a lavish burial. Give each of the people a hundred gold, and the rest will be rewarded for their merits."

    Shen Cong wiped the blood-stained Xiuchun Knife clean, put it in Qiankun's bag, pressed his injured shoulder, and slowly leaned against the city wall that was knocked down by the living dead, looking at the setting sun in the distance.

    Brother Huang, Sister-in-Law, A Cong guarded Chang'an.

    "Shen Yunzhe." A cold voice came from not far away.

    "What's the matter?" Shen Cong looked sideways at Gu Jiuling who was slowly walking towards him.

    "The emperor uploaded you."

    Shen Cong stared for a moment, lowered his eyelashes, and returned to him lightly: "Got it."

    He took a step forward and took the golden halo straight to the place where Emperor Jingyuan was in the palace.

    Looking at Shen Cong who suddenly appeared, Emperor Jing Yuan was startled, and was about to reprimand him. After recognizing the person, the words rolling in his throat changed！！

    "Is it okay?"

    "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, I am fine with you." Shen Cong bowed his head, his voice neither humble nor overbearing.

    Emperor Jing Yuan saw that his temples were disheveled, and the blood on his face hadn't been washed off, especially on his shoulder, where his clothes were torn and a large piece of flesh was torn away！this shows how fierce the monster is this time.

    "Lao Qi, I remember, you are not married yet, right?" Emperor Jing Yuan coughed and slowly opened his lips.

    "My minister has never been married." Shen Cong bowed again.

    "If there is a girl you like, I will make a decision for you." Emperor Jing Yuan smiled slightly.

    "Your Majesty, the world is not stable, demons and ghosts are still causing trouble to the world, how can I settle down?" Shen Cong shook his head, bowed his head three times in salute, and said respectfully, "I implore the Emperor to take back my order."

    Emperor Jing Yuan choked.

    Yes, the world is not stable, and ghosts are still causing trouble to the world, how can he settle down.

    Looking at the person in front of him, Emperor Jing Yuan suddenly realized that Shen Cong was no longer the childish child who looked at him with envious eyes in the past.

    And these years, he has given all the love that should belong to him to his imperial brother, the crown prince Shen Yu.

    Now, he doesn't even want to be called father and son.

    Lao Qi seems to have a very good temper, but he is also cautious-presumably it is because of his own indifference that he changed to the current field.

    Emperor Jing Yuan suddenly slumped his back, and the vicissitudes and guilt overflowed from the corners of his eyes.

    "Forget it, you step back." He waved his hand and sighed.

    "The minister will leave." Shen Cong left quickly.

    At that time, Song Cheng walked in slowly and passed Shen Cong.

    He looked back at Shen Cong, who was covered in blood, his eyes moved, and then he walked up to Emperor Jing Yuan, bowed his head and bowed to him: "Your Majesty."

    "What's the matter?" Emperor Jing Yuan took a small sip from the teacup and opened his lips lightly.

    "Your Majesty, Chang'an has no dragon veins to protect the city. I implore the Emperor to move the capital to Yanjing." Song Cheng suddenly knelt and kowtowed.

    Emperor Jing Yuan stopped drinking tea.

    Yanjing

    There is his hometown.

    There he grew up to be an unruly young man, ruled the world, became a powerful minister, and controlled the Ming Dynasty government - he also single-handedly overthrew Ming Dynasty and established the Celestial Dynasty in Chang'an.

    Not establishing the capital in Yanjing is because of the guilt towards the last emperor of the late Ming Dynasty.

    After all, he is their courtier.

    But he really can't understand the style of the court.

    "This matter will be discussed at court, let's step down." Emperor Jing Yuan waved his hand.

    "The emperor！"

    "Back off." Emperor Jing Yuan's eyes sharpened.

    Song Cheng knew that this incident touched the back of the ancestor dragon, he pursed his lips, sighed, stood up and left.

    Without the blessing of dragon veins, Chang'an will never have peace.

    Demons and ghosts will always make a comeback.

    The pursuit of the fake Shen Xun is still going on - because the fake Shen Xun has become a Turkic general, so this matter has changed from a solo battle of the Jin Yiwei to a battle between the Turkic and Chinese armies.

    After half a month, Chu Wang Shen Jue used tricks to lure the snake out of the cave, and finally captured Shen Xun in Yanjing on the fourth day of the first ten days of July.

    When she heard that he was about to be executed, Concubine Yu's face turned pale, and she hurriedly left the Captain's Mansion with the witchcraft that had not been used for many years, and the imperial horse rushed towards Yanjing.

    When she arrived, all she saw was the headless corpse hanging on the city wall.

    Perhaps it was blood, Concubine Yu subconsciously recognized that this was the fake Shen Xun, this was her son.

    & nbsp; Her heart ached and she fell off the horse.

    With this fall, she saw the head thrown on the grass.

    That is her son.

    Concubine Yu stumbled to her feet, ran over madly and held her head in her arms, ignoring the rancid smell, crying and laughing like crazy.

    "Ms. Yu" Shen Jue opened the city gate, looked at the sad Concubine Yu, sighed, and left quietly.

    poor person must have something mean.

    It can only be said to be a causal cycle.

    "You always say that I owe you, I can't make it up to my mother in this life, and I will pay you back in the next life." Concubine Yu stroked the head, her eyes suddenly became firm.

    Barefoot, she walked slowly up the city wall of Yanjing. A gust of cool wind blew in, brushing her black hair.

    That black hair turned gray in an instant.

    Shen Jue has been paying attention to Concubine Yu's every move. Seeing her like this, she immediately felt bad, and hurriedly walked up to the city wall, and said loudly: "Mistress Yu, life is hard to come by, so please think twice about it, Mistress Yu."

    think twice

    Concubine Yu smiled wryly: "One wrong step, one wrong step. Ever since I entered Shen's mansion that year, I knew that there was no way I could retreat."

    For Emperor Jing Yuan, she severed ties with her hometown;

    For Shen Xun, she abandoned the child with her own hands;

    In order to feel guilty, she chose to remain silent and let him manipulate her and let him feed cat ghosts.

    It can be said that she was the instigator of the cat ghost case.

    "Your Highness, please take the corpses of me and my son back to my hometown of Miaojiang. In the name of the saintess of the former witch clan, I wish Your Highness a bright future and a safe life."

    Concubine Yu smiled slightly, "Your Highness, I'm sorry to trouble you."

    As soon as the words fell, she jumped off the city wall with the head in her hands.

    "Happy lady!"

    Shen Jue walked over quickly, reaching out to grab Concubine Yu, but only grabbed a corner of her clothes.

    The next moment, this gentle and demure woman fell heavily to the ground.

    The bewitching blood flowers bloomed on the ground, piercing Shen Jue's eyes instantly.

    Shen Jue will never forget the look of relief in Concubine Yu's eyes when she closed her eyes.

    He closed his eyes, let out a deep breath, and wrote a memorial to the court.

    When he learned that the fake Shen Xun was dead and Concubine Yu jumped into the city, Emperor Jing Yuan closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time before issuing an imperial edict.

    Concubine Yu's title was taken away, she was demoted to a commoner, and she was not allowed to be buried in Shengling, and her body was returned to her hometown for burial.

    A few days later, under the escort of Song Cheng, Concubine Yu's body headed for Miao Jiang in a mighty way.

    In this way, the case of the cat ghost has come to an end.

    That night, Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling finished their day's work and drank wine against the moon in the Duwei's mansion.

    There is also Qin Zheng who is eating

 Main Text Chapter 76: Zombies Walk at Night, Copper Bells Lead

    "Oh, after a busy year, the cat ghost case has finally come to an end."

    Qin Zheng raised the wine cup and clinked glasses with Shen Cong in an unusually happy mood. After seeing him drink it, he immediately looked at him tremblingly, "Yun Zhe, is your sample silver here?"

    Shen Cong choked, almost choking on the wine.

    "You have become a seventh-rank official, and you have twice as much money as before. My money is used to support the servants in the palace, and I am too shy now." Shen Cong put down the wine cup, and his words were not shocking.  He kept opening his mouth lightly.

    Qin Zheng: ""

    Gu Jiuling: ""

    They are not three-year-old dolls, nor are they children who don't remember anything！after the cat ghost case was solved that day, Emperor Jing Yuan rewarded them with three or five carts of gold, and bought many good treasures.

    ?Looking at that posture, I wish I could evacuate the national treasury to make up for the seventeen years of father-son relationship.

    In the troubled times, it is an excellent thing to steal a day of leisure in a floating life.

    But you can't enjoy happiness all the time, the result of coveting happiness is self-destruction.

    "Okay, don't talk about money anymore." Shen Cong slowly put down the wine cup, his eyes gradually became solemn, "Chang'an has no dragon veins, and this place is contaminated with the hostility of cat ghosts, which is difficult to eradicate. The demons and ghosts we meet in the future will only become more and more serious."  Difficult to deal with. Everyone, please follow me to guard Chang'an."

    "Naturally." Qin Zheng smiled loudly.

    "Naturally." Gu Jiuling nodded slowly.

    Shen Cong nodded, got up to fill up the wine, and bowed his head to the two of them.

    After Concubine Yu's body was sent to Miaojiang, the patriarch, in grief and indignation, immediately led the entire Miaojiang to rebel and surrender to Dali.

    Seeing this, Song Cheng felt that something was wrong, so he immediately reported to the court.

    When Emperor Jingyuan heard the words, he was furious, and immediately asked who would lead troops to Miaojiang to suppress the rebellion.

    The Eighth Prince Han Wang Shen Chen was just newly married, and after hearing about the rebellion in Miao Jiang, he voluntarily led the expedition.

    It can be regarded as a test of experience, Emperor Jing Yuan immediately nodded in agreement, allocated 200,000 soldiers and horses to Shen Chen, and asked him to go south with Shen Jue to capture the patriarch of the Wu clan in Miaojiang alive and suppress the rebels.

    ? On the third day of the first ten days of August, night falls.

    On the outskirts of Chang'an City.

    In a small, remote village, a watchman carried a gong and walked on the hot road with his upper body naked.

    The night was dark, and the crows were singing loudly, which made people feel irritable for no reason.

    "The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of the candles!" Dageng coughed, knocked on the gong, and shouted loudly.

    "The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful with candles!"

    This sound drifted into the dense forest far away, echoing in the empty valley, very loud.

    "Ringling！！"

    At that time, an ancient copper bell sounded from a distance.

    The moment the copper bell rang, there was a sudden wind blowing somewhere.

    An ancient coffin covered with dead leaves suddenly shook！the coffin boards were thrown open, and a corpse in the official robes of the former court jumped up like a carp.

    The moonlight was shining brightly, and a pair of fangs gradually appeared on the pale face of the corpse.

    He fluttered his nostrils, and slowly jumped towards the watchman.

    The watchmen were unaware that danger was approaching quietly.

    "The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful with candles!"

    He struck a gong again, passed by an ancient well, his heart moved, and he stopped in a strange way.

    The watchman put down the gong and mallet, lifted the wooden bucket and threw it down, and hummed a little tune to bring up a bucket of well water.

    Before drinking this, the watchman suddenly felt a chill down his back.

    "Ringling！！"

    The ringing bell suddenly reached his ears.

    In the middle of the night, who would put the bell there to ring the bell?

    Da Geng shook his head, lowered his head and was about to take a drink of sea water, when his face froze suddenly.

    On the bucket of water, his figure was clearly reflected, and behind him

    That blue and white, rotting corpse with a pair of fangs.

    "Zombie!" Da Geng's heart jumped suddenly, and his face turned pale.  He yelled, threw the bucket behind him, spread his legs, and ran forward with all his strength.

    In the dark night, a figure moved in front of the wind, took a step forward, and within a few breaths came to the side of the still corpse.

    "Ringling！！"

    He slowly raised the bronze rattle in his hand, and when the rattle rang, a streak of black air visible to the naked eye floated into the zombie's body.

    The zombie's face turned serious, and it jumped forward to catch up with the watchman.

    That fast speed, compared to talent?The coffin was one floor faster.

    The guy followed the zombie unhurriedly, watching the watchman being chased by the zombie with a blank face, he held his neck, and opened his mouth to bite down.

    "ah!"

    A shrill scream resounded throughout the universe, startling countless birds.

    It's just that no one came to check.

    After all, this is just an empty and uninhabited area, and the screams quickly dissipated.

    "The power is not enough, it seems that more strength is needed." The man glanced at the beater whose complexion gradually turned blue, rubbed his chin and slowly opened his lips.

    He took out a yellow talisman from his waist, and stuck one on the zombie that was rushing towards him.

    The zombie quickly froze in place, unable to move.

    The man slowly raised the ancient bronze bell and walked deep into the dense forest.

    "Ringling！！"

    "Ringling！！"

    After the ringing of the bell, there was a series of clear bouncing sounds.

    The body of the watchman was found by a woodcutter who went up the mountain to cut firewood.

    Early in the morning, the woodcutter died on the road with blood all over the place. The woodcutter, who felt unlucky, was terrified and immediately reported to the police.

    People from the government found that the bite marks were unusual, and immediately played Jin Yiwei.

    Jin Yiwei of the Ming Department sent people to check, and found that there was an evil spirit haunting, so they transferred to the Anbu.

    Song Cheng was still in Miaojiang at that time, helping the two princes to draw a map of Miaojiang, and was unable to return to the city for the time being.

    Several officials with official positions went out to eliminate demons, and only Shen Cong, who was the dominant official, was left.

    So Shen Cong brought Gu Jiuling and Qin Zheng over to investigate the case.

    Shen Cong knelt down and looked at the wound carefully, and reached out to stroke the puddle of coagulated black blood.

    The system was triggered immediately and gave him a reply.

    "It's a zombie."

    As soon as Shen Cong's gaze changed, he immediately wrote a talisman out of thin air and entered it into the body of the batterer.

    "Zombies? Zombies near Chang'an City?!"

    "Zombies are coming, it's fine during the day, but at night, we might all be killed at any time!"

    "Oh, what should I do!"

    "Go and invite people from the Taoist sect, Taoist priests specialize in catching zombies!"

    "" ""

    When the onlookers heard that it was zombies, their eyes suddenly changed, and they all changed their eyes drastically, and began to whisper.

    "Everyone, please don't panic. I have a Taoist yellow talisman here, and you stick it on the door of your house. Don't go out at night, and zombies won't break into your home."  He took out the yellow talisman given to him by the system and told Qin Zheng and Gu Jiuling to distribute it one by one.

    The common people know the power of His Highness King Qin！he was the one who drove away the cat ghost.

    They bowed their heads gratefully at the moment, and quickly returned to their home, pasted the yellow talisman, and fetched the stone statue of the Taoist door, bowed three times, and put on the long incense, and then felt a lot more at ease.

 Text Chapter 77 Something to do, first copy the previous chapter

    ,

    It turned out that this woman was Cui Zhaorong, a descendant of the Cui family in Qinghe. She used to be a neighbor with the Jiang family in Yan County, and thus got acquainted with Jiang Yu when she was young.

    Because Cui Zhaorong was as gangster as a boy when he was a child, and loved to dance with knives and guns, he was born extraordinarily strong.

    Even a little fat.

    But she has always liked to cling to the good-looking yuppie Jiang Yu, and she looks a little silly, always with two lines of snot, and buys her candy and dog eggs.

    Later, when Cui Jishu came and moved back to the ancestral land of Qinghe with his clansmen, Jiang Yu never saw Xiao Feimei again, and naturally he forgot about such a number one person over time.

    Until Jiang Lao reminded me just now.

    "Brother Dingxiu, I haven't seen you for a long time, so you're fine." The moment Cui Zhaorong saw Jiang Yu, joy appeared on his cold face.  She bowed profusely, her voice sounded so good that Jiang Yu's bones were about to crumble.

    Gao Xiaoguan: ""

    You are seeing a beautiful woman and loving another.

    "Sister Cui, you don't need to be too polite." Jiang Yu grinned, his eyes looked down following the man's nature.

    Gao Xiaoguan narrowed his eyes.

    Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty, let alone these two or five youngsters.

    Forget it, it's not bad to use the beauty to stabilize him first, so as not to let him think about betraying Daqi.

    It's just I hope these two or five boys won't be idle and keep thinking about those yellow waste.

    He sighed silently, and sat on the right side with Jiang Yu in order of status.

    "Brother Dingxiu, this is" When Cui Zhaorong saw Gao Xiaoguan, he was amazed for a moment by his three-point resemblance to Jiang Yu, then calmly recovered his expression, and looked at Jiang Yu.

    "Oh, he is the King of Lanling." Jiang Yu immediately introduced him.

    Gao Xiaoguan: ""

    I already know my ending, so I don't need to emphasize it again and again.

    Moreover, fate is in my own hands, and if fate is established, I can also break it.

    "It turned out to be the King of Lanling. The daughter of the people has seen the prince, and the prince is Jin'an." Cui Zhaorong smiled slightly, bowed his head and bowed.

    King Lanling?  I seem to have heard the name, but not familiar with it.

    It's because her brother Dingxiu's reputation has risen recently, and he's even called a Daqi sage.

    Cui Zhaorong felt a surge of pride in his heart.

    As expected of her little husband.

    "Azhao, have you made progress in martial arts with the old man in recent years on expeditions to the north and south?" Mr. Jiang looked at Cui Zhaorong who was sitting next to him kindly, and asked with a smile.

    "My father said that Azhao has improved a lot, and he can defeat a hundred. Zhaorong thinks it is exaggerated." Cui Zhaorong smiled back.

    Jiang Yu was secretly surprised when he heard their conversation.

    Gao Xiaoguan: ""

    Last time, a female general proposed to you, and you thought she would refuse in every possible way, but today it is a girl from the Cui family, and you will praise her to the sky.

    A large double-standard scene?

    "This time in the battle with the Zhou army, Zhao Rong followed the King of Henan to defeat the Zhou army. He planned to return to the court triumphantly, but he just passed by Yan County. He remembered that he hadn't seen Uncle Jiang and Grandpa Jiang for a long time, so he stopped by to pay a visit."  , Cui Zhaorong smiled slightly, expressing his intention of coming.

    "Where is my elder brother?" Gao Xiaoguan subconsciously asked.

    "The prince has already gone to Yecheng. He told the minnv that brother Dingxiu is also here, and he can go back to Beijing with him to return to his command."

    Jiang Lao and the melon-eating Jiang Mingyuan immediately understood.

    The drunken man does not mean to drink.

    I understand, I understand.

    Jiang Lao gave Jiang Yu a little money, and invited him and Gao Xiaoguan out politely.

    As the name goes, he took Cui Zhaorong back to Beijing to return to his life.

    Don't come back if you don't get married in three to five years.

    Of course Jiang Yu complied.

    Sister Yu, if you don¨t take it, you won¨t take it for nothing.

    Before leaving, Jiang Yu remembered his private money, and quietly asked Jiang Sixi who was walking with him: "Have you brought my private money?"

    Jiang Sixi touched his head, and said awkwardly: "Master eh that！"

    Seeing him hesitating, Jiang Yu suddenly had a bad feeling.

    Gao Xiaoguan, who was pretending to be sleeping next to him, had a smile on his lips.

    Just what you think.

    "Your silverwas stolen by bandits again."

    "Is there nothing left?"

    "The ashes have been removed."

    Jiang Yu: "!!!"

    skyKill the bandits!

    Gao Xiaoguan turned his body sideways, the curve of his lips raised to the sky.

    Two or five boys, you deserve it.

    If you want to join Da Zhou next door, keep thinking about it.

    He found a bunch of old guard soldiers for this batch of gold, and asked them to take another route back to Beijing, and then handed it over to Senior Duan, who was sent directly to the army.

    It can be regarded as, in a disguised form, get back the gold bestowed by the emperor's uncle.

    ? On the day they returned to Beijing, after Gao Xiaoguan and Jiang Yu returned to their lives, they brought a certain minister to meet his elder brothers.

    ? Its nickname is to go to the banquet.

    In fact, I just want to talk.

    Let him hear how his elder brothers died.

    Cui Zhaorong encountered some troubles.

    When she returned to the palace, because of her outstanding appearance, Gao Yang stared straight at her eyes. Since Cui Jishu was present, she just politely asked if she was married.

    "Returning to the emperor, Minnv has been married to Jiang Shangshu since she was a child, and she came to Beijing this time to ask the emperor to grant an imperial decree to let Minnv marry Jiang Shangshu." Cui Zhaorong knelt down and saluted without being humble.

    Jiang Yu?  His fianc└e?

    Gao Yang paused.

    This is not easy to grab, after all, Jiang Yu is his Daqi sage, and he and Chang Gong promoted the paper currency system for him.

    Forget it, the gift of the marriage is the gift of the marriage, and it will not be too late to grab it after two years when she is mature.

    However, you have to get addicted first.

    That night Gaoyang kept Cui Zhaorong in the palace in the name of hosting a banquet.

    As an uncle, Cui Jishu is naturally worried about this stupid king, um, their emperor left Cui Zhaorong alone.  He forcibly stayed in the palace in the name of not being familiar with the place of life and wanted to take Cui Zhaorong back to the mansion.

    Gao Yang was quite displeased.

    Things can't be done.

    But he is the founding hero after all, so he can't say anything, he can only watch the fat in his mouth run away.

    Here, the celebration feast at the Lanling Palace has just begun.

    Gao Xiaoguan poured Jiang Yu tirelessly, and then calmly spoke.

    Yes, this time he took the drug again.

    ? Makes people drunk, their limbs can't move, but their brains still work.

    Then, he heard those voices that were exactly the same as those in the long scene in the dream.

 Text continue to ask for leave

    The elder brothers are really just like in the dream, one of them died more miserable than the other.

    Their allegiance to Daqi was just because the courtiers were in power, so all of them did not end well.

    Including myself.

    Seeing the harmonious scene of several brothers talking and laughing happily, Gao Xiaoguan slowly clenched his fists.

    The imperial examination system and movable type printing have come out, and brothers can also change their destiny.

    "Ding! It is detected that the attributes of the son of the plane are abnormal, and the blackening progress is 10%."

    Jiang Yu was sobered up, and most of the wine sobered up.

    Gao Xiaoguan: ""

    What Yu Wenhu does has half a dime relationship with you, wouldn't it be nice to pick up your girl?

    Jiang Yu and Jiang Mingyuan knelt all night, under Gao Xiaoguan's secret words, Jiang Yuanshi waved generously, and the two went to soak in the hot spring all night trembling.

    Gao Xiaoguan: ""

    Well, I'm going to be brainwashed again tonight.

    The next day, Jiang Yu woke up early - he was picked up by his attendants and carried directly to the courtyard of the patriarch Jiang Lao.

    Jiang Lao was sitting in the middle of the courtyard, and with a cold snort, Jiang Yu was thrown to the ground by his attendants.

    Gao Xiaoguan was startled and woke up suddenly.

    After looking at the sky that had just dawned, he silently raised his forehead.

    Jiang Dingxiu, you two-five-year-old boy, it¨s fine to sing the Divine Comedy all night, but what the hell are you doing early in the morning.

    He didn't feel sleepy anymore, so he simply stayed in bed and started his morning exercises.

    Jiang Yu raised his head in pain as he touched his face that had been smashed into the snow, and met Jiang Lao's angry eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.

    His knee still hurts to this day.

    His boss is still pretending to be dead.

    "Grandfather I don't know what to do to call my grandson here early in the morning?" Jiang Yu nodded his head and grinned obsequiously.

    "Where is Jiang Mingyuan?" Jiang Lao looked away in disgust and asked lightly.

    "Father, I'll leave it here." Jiang Mingyuan yawned and came lazily, and asked with his eyes half-opened and half-closed in a daze, "What happened, who died in the family?"

    "Shangjiafa."

    Jiang Mingyuan: "??!"

    Jiang Yu: "??!"

    Wang Defa?  !

    Gao Xiaoguan, who was zipping around, paused slightly.

    Although it was miserable, he still wanted to say a word.

    Well done.

    Jiang Dingxiu, a duplicitous boy, wouldn't even know his surname if he didn't help him tighten his skin.

    In the dangerous eyes of Mr. Jiang, Jiang Yu and his son knelt down on the wooden and iron boards very sincerely.

    That's a good taste, how can you write it so well.

    Until Jiang Yu couldn't take it anymore and kept complaining in his heart, Gao Xiaoguan finally couldn't shout the psychological bombardment, found Jiang Lao's courtyard, and said lightly: "Please be merciful to the patriarch, brother Dingxiu will return to Yecheng with Chang Gong soon.  resurrected."

    Only then did Mr. Jiang wave his hands with a sullen face, and the two immediately got up, thanked the former, and quickly thanked Gao Xiaoguan.

    Jiang Yu made nonsense and exaggerated the imperial examination system to the sky, fooling Jiang Lao and Jiang Mingyuan for a while, and subconsciously agreed to let future Jiang's disciples enter the court with the imperial examination.

    When Jiang Lao was in a better mood, Jiang Yu was relieved and left with Gao Xiaoguan.

    "Brother Dingxiu, can the imperial examination really change our court?" Gao Xiaoguan suddenly spoke, far away from Jiang's home.

    "Yes, I will." Jiang Yu nodded solemnly.

    Gao Xiaoguan: ""

    Sure enough.

    What is he looking forward to, is he looking forward to Jiang Yu reining in his horse and running into Da Qi's arms?

    Looking forward to a mallet.

    "The paper currency policy seems to have some drawbacks, Brother Dingxiu." Gao Xiaoguan nodded, calmly continuing the routine.

    "There's no downside, isn't this pretty good." Jiang Yu grinned obsequiously.

    Gao Xiaoguan twitched the corners of his mouth, and then looked deeply.

    ?Understood, as long as you avoid lightning and find ways to allow population flow to drive the economy, Daqi will definitely be able to promote banknotes.

    He quickly wrote a memorial and reported it to Gao Yang, writing out the minefield in its entirety.

    After Gao Yang thought for a while, he pushed the issue of banknotes to Duan Shao.

    Duan Shao immediately made the first batch of anti-counterfeit banknotes with the materials given, and opened the first Daqi bank in Yecheng - the bank was heavily guarded, and the gold and silver stored in it could not be stolen.

    He also mobilized famous Confucian scholars to exchange banknotes with silver taels, and?Widely circulated among the upper class nobles.

    This move immediately attracted the attention of the people in Yecheng, and they wanted to follow suit out of curiosity, but banknotes were only circulated in the upper reaches, and the exchange ratio had not yet been perfected, so they could only watch those people go out like before.  Same！！

    There is no need to bring a few boxes of gold and silver, and you are not afraid of being stolen.

    A few years later, when Gao Zhan succeeded to the throne, banknotes gradually passed to the common people.

    With the guarantee of famous Confucianism, the common people trustfully exchanged gold, silver and copper coins into banknotes, and cashed them in various silver villages.

    All of this is under Gao Xiaoguan's control.

    All of this was beyond Jiang Yu's expectations.

    Daqi did not have an economic collapse, and the people were eccentric. On the contrary, because of the official roads and waterways dug by Duan Shao, which allowed the population and trade to flow, Daqi's economic strength has improved a lot.

    Of course, there were some who resisted paper money, but a few years later, the reputation of King Lanling as God of War had spread, and with him in charge of this matter, the trend of resistance gradually disappeared.

    It is also because of this that Da Qi has the confidence to be tough with Da Zhou who has become rich under the leadership of Yu Wenyong.

    Of course, this is something for later.

    At this time, Gao Xiaoguan was about to continue the routine, when Mr. Jiang suddenly sent someone over to invite Jiang Yu and Gao Xiaoguan to the banquet.

    Gao Xiaoguan: ""

    Why are you so cowardly.

    When I was talking to Yu Wenyong at the risk of losing my head, I didn't see you.

    This twenty-five son Jiang Dingxiu.

    Jiang Yu tremblingly came to the banquet courtyard, then glanced over the crowd, and set his eyes on the girl next to Mr. Jiang.

    The girl was dressed in light armor, with long hair and high beams, and a pair of water pupils were extremely cold, but seeing Jiang Yu's heart agitated, she almost had a nosebleed.

    "Dingxiu, come and meet the little girl of the Cui family. I haven't seen you in ten years, do you still recognize her?" Mr. Jiang said with a smile.

 Main Text Chapter 77: Out at Night, Zhou Hang's Stasis

    After returning to Duwei's Mansion, Shen Cong thought of the scene of the cat ghost besieging the city, and his heart moved slightly.

    After the cat ghost case, Chang'an City is still under repair. If it is destroyed by zombies again, those people will be displaced.

    He immediately ordered the Jin Yiwei in the Duwei's mansion to write yellow talismans to suppress zombies, and put them on the door of every house.

    To suppress zombies, you still need to find special people.

    In this world, the only ones who specialize in collecting zombies are Taoism.

    Shen Cong thought of the Taoist disciple who saved him last time, thought for a while, got up and took a step forward, and left with a golden halo.

    When Gu Jiuling came over, he could only feel the shallow fluctuations in the void.

    Shen Yunzhe left in the middle of the night, where did he go?

    Gu Jiuling frowned, just looked at the direction where the aura disappeared, and immediately took out the Beizhen Fusi Demon Record, and began to carefully check the zombie's information.

    In the depths of a mountain in the distance, a young man in Taoist robes was sitting cross-legged beside a waterfall.

    Noticing that there was a person standing in front of him, he said slowly and unhurriedly: "If you ask for help, there must be rules for asking for work. Here's the money."

    "Are you killing people, or exorcising demons?" The visitor raised his eyebrows.

    This voice

    Zhou Hang subconsciously opened his eyes and looked at the person who came.

    The visitor was dressed in brocade clothes, a black gauze hat on his head, and a dragon bone fan with a jade face in his hand. Isn't it Shen Cong?

    "Your Highness?" Zhou Hang's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly got up and jumped over, bowed his head and bowed to him, "Caomin didn't know His Highness came to visit, and I hope His Highness will forgive me."

    "Zombies appeared in Chang'an City. I only know a little bit about how to subdue zombies. I need to trouble you to raise your hand." Shen Cong handed over a kit and said slowly, "This is a deposit. After the case is closed, I will pay another one."  Ingot."

    Gold!

    Zhou Hang's eyes lit up immediately.

    Although he is a member of the Taoist sect, after all, people die for money and birds die for food.

    Everyone needs to eat, and even spiritual practitioners need to indica before they can eat the essence of heaven and earth.

    And he is just a mortal.

    Zhou Hang took the gold and immediately smiled flatteringly: "Your Highness, when shall I go to Chang'an?"

    "Now."

    Shen Cong waved his fan forward, and a ray of golden light flew out from the fan, condensing forward into a halo that could accommodate one person.

    Through the halo, Zhou Hang saw the city of Chang'an clearly.

    As expected of the Five Heroes of the Central Plains, this kind of teleportation technique would not be able to be used without a high level of cultivation.

    The last time Zhou Hang saw Shen Cong using it, he thought it was just a coincidence, but now he was wrong.

    With a sigh of emotion, he found that Shen Cong had stepped into it, hurriedly followed, and went to Chang'an with Shen Cong.

    After changing the world, Zhou Hang saw the Chang'an City under repair.

    The devastated appearance was in stark contrast to the Evernight Chang'an he saw in the past, and he was dumbfounded for a long time before he came back to his senses.

    "The cat ghosts besieged Chang'an that day, and all the spiritual cultivators of my celestial dynasty resisted with all their strength, and just killed the cat ghosts. Chang'an is under repair, and it cannot withstand the second heavy damage."

    Shen Cong looked at the brightly lit bustling city under the moonlight, with a strange light in his eyes, "This is their home, and I should protect it."

    "who?"

    "The souls of all the generals return to Chang'an's hometown, and the hometown is not the hometown. Wouldn't it be cold."

    Zhou Hang was silent for a while, and slowly took out a bronze gossip mirror from the Qiankun bag, his eyes gradually became solemn: "Your Highness, where did the zombies appear, and I will take the grassroots to find out."

    Shen Cong turned his head and took him to the outskirts of Chang'an, the place where the beateng people died.

    Zhou Hang squatted on the ground to observe for a while, picked up some broken soil from the ground, and put it on the bronze gossip mirror.

    "Everything in the world, qi is the root, use the method to chase the stagnation, and hurry like a law!" Zhou Hang formed a seal with one hand, and pressed his palm on the dragon head on the mirror.

    The golden light of the faucet flashed, and it twisted quickly.

    Zhou Hang quickly followed the direction in which the dragon head was twisting, and Shen Cong did the same.

    The two tracked into a dense forest, and soon stopped.

    In front of the two of them, there were dozens of coffins facing forward, which looked very old.

    "Sitting south and facing north to inhale yin qi is to attract evil spirits." Zhou Hang's eyes moved, pointing directly at the coffin in the center, "They want to feed the zombie in the middle."

    "Is it possible to get rid of it now?" Shen Cong asked.

    "Can be burnt to death, but that breath in the zombie's throat turns to ?It is unjust to keep pestering the person who damaged the corpse.  "Zhou Hang shook his head and persuaded in a low voice, "Your Highness, why not wait until night, and let the grassroots set up an altar to collect these zombies."  "

    "Okay." Shen Cong nodded.

    After Zhou Hang wrote down this place, he immediately went outside to buy some items.

    Midnight falls.

    After Zhou Hang opened the altar, he inserted three sticks of long incense sticks, standing straight on top of the cooked rice.

    "Ancestors, after eating a big bowl of rice, let's borrow more mana from my disciples to subdue zombies and eliminate harm for the people." Zhou Hang put on his Taoist robe, bowed three times to Changxiang, and then took the mahogany sword from his back  , and bowed three times again.

    "Bell！！"

    A soft bell sounded from a distance.

    The wind suddenly rose in all directions.

    In an instant, the coffin jumped, and more than a dozen jumped out of the coffin, jumping towards Zhou Hang with teeth and claws.

    Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling, who were sitting on the tree watching Zhou Hang's actions, stepped forward and came to the zombies.

    "Two, help me block their way. I'll borrow the law!" Zhou Hang bowed to the two people in front of him.

    Shen Cong waved his hand, sacrificing the jade-faced keel fan, and waved it straight at the zombie.

    Without hesitation, Gu Jiuling drew out the long sword at his waist and stepped forward, following Shen Cong to fight the zombies.

    In the distance, a figure is looming.

    Seeing the Taoist altar behind Shen Cong and Gu Jiuling, his eyes paused slightly.

    A descendant of Taoism.

    "Let me see how far these juniors have grown." He smiled fiercely, raised the bronze bell in his hand again, and shook it gently.

    The zombie's body was entwined with black air, hair grew in an instant, and its eyes became more and more fierce.

    "Jumping stiffness has turned into hair stiffness, you two be careful!" Zhou Hang, who was doing the copper coin sword, saw the change of the zombie, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said a reminder.

    It turns out that zombies are just like spirits, and they are also divided into classes.

    Zombie classes are divided into purple zombies, white zombies, green zombies, hairy zombies, flying zombies, wandering corpses, lying corpses, and bones that do not melt into bones.

    Among them, the purple zombie is a corpse that has just died, unable to move, unconscious, and without mutation, it is an incomplete zombie form.

    ?The second level of white stiffness can move, but is slow, afraid of light, afraid of water, afraid of chickens and dogs, and even afraid of people;

    When it comes to green zombies, these zombies are also called jumping zombies. They move a little faster and can walk at night in a jumping posture.  Not afraid of people, not afraid of domestic animals, only afraid of the sun.

    The fourth level of hair stiffness is the hair growing on the corpse, the body is like a copper wall and iron bones, it moves swiftly and jumps like flying.  At this level of zombies, they are not afraid of the sun, not even the flames.
