Chapter 137: Returning in vain

I don't know how much time passed, and the two gradually entered the central area of the inner city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Turning around a street corner, not far from the door of a large mansion, there stood a soldier in armor and a halberd on the left and right.

Seeing this, Xu Yang shrank back and hid behind the corner, holding his breath. The Black Cat Night Slaughter continued to approach in the direction of the soldiers.

"Meow!"

The two soldiers instinctively looked in the direction where the sound of a cat was coming from. The original dark form of the Black Cat Night Slaughter had already melted into the surrounding dark night, and the two soldiers only saw a pair of green eyes reflecting the light floating in the air not far from the ground. The moment they saw their green eyes, the two soldiers fell to the ground with a limp.

Xu Yang followed the black cat Night Slaughter to the front of the gate, and found that the two soldiers had passed out, and secretly admired the power of the Night Slaughter Pupil Technique.

The black cat turned its head to look at the locked gate, and the light blue light around it flashed, and a cloud of blue mist rolled out of its body, and the blue mist surged forward, and then gathered on the vermilion gate.

The gate was obviously blessed with a defensive ban, and as soon as the blue mist touched, a goldfish-like rune suddenly jumped out of its surface, and an invisible repulsive force gushed out.

A bright glow flashed in the black cat's green eyes, and a fist-sized green pupil suddenly appeared in the blue mist, and a circle of green ripples swayed. Where the green ripples passed, the golden runes that jumped on the gate disappeared. The strange thing is that the part of the gate that was originally heavy and covered by blue mist has become as transparent as nothing, as if a window has been opened on the gate, and the scenery in the courtyard can be seen at a glance.

Directly in front of the courtyard gate, a candle flame is shining. Through the half-open window, a woman can be seen. The woman has phoenix eyes and egg face, flat eyebrows and straight nose, dignified atmosphere, and then candlelight, is seriously embroidering a small purse.

Black Cat Yetu watched the woman's every move with straight eyes, until the woman put down the needle and thread in her hand, turned off the lights, and the room was darkened before she received the practice of looking through the door.

"Let's go. Black Cat Night Tu said lightly.

Xu Yang wondered a little in his heart, in the middle of the night, he followed the night slaughter out to kill the East County Lord, why did he delay in front of this irrelevant woman's door for so long. Without asking too much, he continued to walk forward with the black cat Night Slaughter.

In the moonlight, a tall, delicate two-story pavilion sits in a spacious courtyard. Outside the gate of the courtyard, there was a row of soldiers standing neatly on the left and right, and there were about thirty people. The streets outside the gate were staggered with soldiers patrolling back and forth.

"This is where the East County Lord rests. Black Cat Night Tu said faintly.

"There are so many people, we can't avoid startling the grass and snakes, we have to find a way to get in. Xu Yang said.

"Let me stand on your shoulder. After the black cat Ye Tu finished speaking, he turned into a phantom and disappeared in place, and the next moment, it was on Xu Yang's shoulder.

Rings of pale blue smoke emanated from the surface of the Black Cat's body at Night, and a moment later, the blue smoke enveloped the two.

"You just need to silently say in your heart that you can't see my four words. Black Cat Night Tu said.

Xu Yang didn't know what the method of Ye Tu's hidden body practice was, so he could only follow what Ye Tu said, and concentrate on reciting the words "I can't see me" in his heart.

Black Cat Night Tu felt that Xu Yang's breath was restrained and calm, and knew that Xu Yang was concentrating on silent meditation in his heart, and then said, "Walk directly towards the gate." ā€

Xu Yang listened, and walked towards the gate without thinking.

The strange thing is that Xu Yang is only a few meters away from the guards and soldiers, but the soldiers are normal and unharmed.

Occasionally, one or two soldiers could be heard talking to each other.

"I haven't heard of any emergencies, I don't know why the county lord suddenly strengthened the security around the residence?"

"It is said that someone saw a black cat wandering around the inner city during the day, and I heard that Lord Dongjun is afraid of cats, hehe. ā€

"Shhh, don't talk nonsense, be careful that Lord Commander will ask for your head when he finds out. ā€

......

"In a moment, you go over and lightly touch your hand on the door, and I'll cast a spell to let us pass through the door. Black Cat Night Slaughter said.

"Okay. ā€

Xu Yang bypassed the pair of soldiers in front of him and quietly approached the gate.

He stretched out a palm and was about to place it lightly on the door, when a noise suddenly came from afar. Because Xu Yang restrained his breath and didn't let go of his divine sense, he didn't know what was going on?

"Someone is coming, it seems to be Tanglin-kun, let's stay away from here first. The black cat on Xu Yang's shoulder said in a loud voice.

Xu Yang could only take back the outstretched hand and quickly retreated.

After retreating about thirty steps away, there was a voice from Ye Tu in his ears: "Just hide behind this tree, at this distance, I don't think Donglinjun will be able to find you and me." ā€

Xu Yang was on the side of his body and took Ye Tu to hide behind a big tree on the side of the road. Xu Yang could feel that the black cat's breathing became a little short, obviously performing such a clever stealth technique would consume a lot of mana from Ye Tu.

A short time later, there was a messy footstep around the corner. A group of soldiers cleared the way, and four sturdy soldiers behind them carried a square sedan chair with a flat top of blue soap cloth.

When the sedan chair arrived at the door, the four soldiers carrying the sedan chair gently put the sedan chair down, and as soon as the sedan curtain was lifted, Donglinjun bent down and walked down from the sedan chair.

Immediately, a soldier opened the door and hurried to the courtyard to report it. After a while, an inner chamberlain came out and took Donglin Jun into the courtyard.

"It's so late, there must be something important for the Dongjun Lord to summon Donglin Jun here. Fortunately, I didn't rush in just now, otherwise facing the two True Dan Realm cultivators of Dongjun Lord and Donglin Jun, not to mention assassinating Dongjun Lord, it should be considered a fluke if I can get out safely. Xu Yang secretly rejoiced in his heart.

"Let's go back, I'm not in the mood to kill now. Black Cat Night Tu said.

"It's obviously not sure, and I found such a lofty reason for myself. Xu Yang muttered secretly in his heart.

Xu Yang had no choice but to return to his single-family residence with the black cat.

Back at the residence, Xu Yang did not sleep, but sat on the bed and crossed his knees to recuperate. As a monk, cross-legged meditation is also a form of rest, but it is not as easy as sleeping. The advantage is that you can maintain a high level of vigilance when you are resting.

At dawn, Xu Yang, who was on the bed, opened his eyes and looked around the house, but there was no trace of the black cat Night Slaughter.

When he looked down and found a handful of black cat hair on the table in front of the bed, he reached out and picked it up.

With a "poof", a blue flame ignited, and after a while, the hair in his hand turned into nothingness.

Xu Yang's ears heard the transmission of the Night Slaughter Spell Seal sent on it: "I went to check last night, the Dongjun Lord summoned Donglin Jun in the middle of the night because there was news from the border, and the Xijun side had signs of taking the initiative to send troops to attack, and the army had begun to assemble." Tomorrow, the lord of the eastern county will personally go to the northern mountain of the eastern county to set up an altar to worship the heavens, praying for the victory of the war. I'm afraid I'll invite you to come with me. Go ahead, and I will follow in secret. ā€

"This night slaughter of the big leader, the efficiency of doing things is really high enough. Xu Yang secretly praised in his heart.

At this time, there was a light knock on the door, and the voice of the maidservant came: "Xu Gongzi, are you up?"

"Come in. ā€

The two maidservants, Shu Yun and Xiyue, pushed the door in, each holding a copper basin filled with water and a clean white face towel in their hands.

"Young Master Xu, please let the two slaves and maids serve you to wash. The maidservant Shu Yun said obediently.

"Okay. Xu Yang was not polite.

One person held the hair strands at the hairline of Xu Yang's forehead with his hand, and the other helped Xu Yang scrub his cheeks with a face towel.

"Master Xu, please sit here, I'll help you massage your head, it will be refreshing all day." Xiyue said with a smile.

"Oh?

Xu Yang said, sitting unceremoniously on a round stool.

Xiyue stretched out a pair of slender hands and massaged Xu Yang's forehead, eyebrow bones, temples, and Baihui acupoints on the top of his head. Or gently open the gate of heaven, or gently push the Kan Palace, or gently rub the sun, or gently knock the jade hammer, referring to the clouds that make people feel comfortable.

"If you enjoy it like this every day, it will inevitably make people lose their morale and mess up their hearts. Thinking of this, Xu Yang secretly used the Dark Fire Technique, ran the meridians Zhou Tian, and forgot all about the external disturbances.

After a stick of incense, Xiyue took the technique and said in a playful voice: "Young Master Xu, I feel good." ā€

Indeed, after Xiyue's massage, Xu Yang's whole person felt much more sober and relaxed.

"Thank you, Miss Yuzuki. ā€

As he spoke, he took out twenty high-grade spirit stones from the storage bag and handed them to Xiyue.

"Here are a few spirit stones, the four of you have taken them and divided them, I will inevitably stay here for a few more days, and I will have to work for the four of you. ā€

"This?"

"You're welcome, just take it. With that, Xu Yang put the spirit stone into the palm of Xiyue's hand.

"Thank you, Young Master Xu. ā€

It's not that Xu Yang is generous, it's just that Xu Yang doesn't want to owe anything to others?

......

Sure enough, as Ye Tu said, in the morning, Donglinjun personally found Xu Yang. conveyed the meaning of the East County Lord and invited Xu Yang to go to Beiqingshan to participate in the sacrifice ceremony.

Xu Yang followed Donglin Jun to the main hall of Dongjun City to meet the Dongjun Lord again, and then followed the Dongjun Lord and his party to leave Dongjun City and go to Beiqingshan.

Beiqingshan is located eighty miles north of Dongjun City, within the sphere of influence of Dongjun City, and is the highest mountain in the entire Xiaoxian Realm. Here is enshrined the god of the creation of the small sage world "Lu Qingyun". Every time there is a major festival or event, the lord of the eastern county will personally come here to worship the heavens and pray for divine help.

In fact, the successive Dongjun Lords, as monks of the True Dan Realm, knew very well that sacrifices and prayers might not really be blessed by the gods they worshipped. But the main purpose is to promote the divine power of Confucianism, so that the people in the small sage world can believe in the divine power of Confucianism, so as to boost morale and unite people's hearts.

Due to the imminent war, most of the soldiers of Dongjun were sent to the border, and the remaining part had to hold on to several important cities in Dongjun. Therefore, the number of people who were taken by the East County Lord to participate in the Beiqingshan sacrifice this time was not large. The main characters are still a few close ministers, in addition to the first assistant of Dongjun Donglingjun, the three major captains of Dongjun Meng Guang, Li Fei, and Jiang Sanfeng are impressively listed, and there are only more than 100 ordinary soldiers. In addition, Concubine Dongjun also went with her.
