Luo Xiaoxiao was slightly surprised, she didn't expect that Ye Fan, a nationally wanted criminal, would make so few requests at this moment of crisis, so she was faintly disappointed, pursed her lips, and plucked up the courage to say: "Brother Ye Fan, my sect should be helpful to you." ”

Ye Fan smiled kindly, and didn't explain anything to her, in fact, now that this mansion is in the middle, it has helped him a lot, at least from now on, he can contact information through Qiao Sandao very conveniently, this is also to not involve Luo Xiaoxiao too deeply, even if she is the young lady of the Luo family in Jiulongling, but if it involves this kind of battle for the throne, it still won't be of any benefit.

"If you have the opportunity, you really need to be introduced by the young lady, there are many things that still need your help. ”

Ye Fan didn't dare to fully believe a girl's family, it could be said that the Luo family of Jiulongling was involved in this matter, but with Luo Xiaoxiao as a bridge from it, just waiting for the timing to change, Jiulongling could not do something to add flowers, and Ye Fan would not refuse.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, the lonely men and widows are facing each other, and the atmosphere is really a little embarrassing.

Ye Fan coughed dryly, raised his head and didn't look at Luo Xiaoxiao, who was a little blushing, turned around and looked out the window at the lonely night, laughing at himself in his heart, the king has no king, the minister is not a minister, the son is not a son, the country will not be a country, born in the emperor's family, is it really necessary to be so cruel and ruthless?

......

......

Half a day ago.

Dayan Palace.

Those nobles in the palace are experiencing the second major event that shocked the palace after the assassination of Emperor Dayan.

The target of this murder was the fifth prince, this fifth prince's surname is Ji Mingcheng, and his mother is Concubine Yi from the Duke of Li's family, who once followed Ji Yun Fan Xian to study in Qixi City in the south for a year, and his relationship with Ji Yun is inextricably linked.

Not to mention, Concubine Yi is also the mother concubine of Ji Yun in name.

And the mastermind of this murder was not really known until much later.

Because no matter from which point of view, the fifth prince is not an important target at this time, although everyone knows that the current teenage boy has a great impact on the prince's inheritance, but this influence is mainly based on Ji Yun's relationship.

There is nothing surprising or powerful about the Five Princes themselves.

So even if the crown prince was worried that his younger brother would make trouble, he would only think about killing Ji Yun, and would not do anything to the five princes, let alone Ji Yun.

What is especially important is that with Ye Fan carrying the black cauldron, the matter of the assassination of the edict may be hidden behind the truth forever, but if the fifth prince really died in the palace, how can Ji Yun, the current owner of the palace, convince the historian and his imperial uncle?

So who wants to kill Ji Cheng?

Under the corridor of the palace, the young Ji Cheng was full of horror, and he ran wildly, thinking about this question in his heart.

It's a pity that this is not Hanguang Palace, the Queen Mother can't protect his life, and neither can his third brother. He was calling for help, but the corridor was so quiet that no one heard his cry for help.

Ji Cheng was desperate, thinking that if he stayed in the palace honestly, he would not die at this time, and he should not have been fooled before and ran to the Chen Corridor.

However, how could a child who was no more than ten years old outrun the adults, the fifth prince panted and fell to the ground, looking at the two eunuchs who were approaching step by step, his face was pale, and his teeth were clenched hard.

These two eunuchs are not practitioners, but they have obviously received some kind of training in killing, and it is too simple to deal with a helpless child.

The two eunuchs kicked him to the ground and reached into their arms with one hand to take the dagger.

With a ding, the dagger in the eunuch's hand grazed the young body of the fifth prince and slammed into the bluestone floor under the Chen Corridor, and a few pieces of gravel collapsed, which shows how great the power is.

The fifth prince twisted his body, kicked his feet blindly, screamed randomly, but happened to dodge the knife, touched the yellow paper in his arms with his right hand, screamed, and suddenly grabbed it and took it out.

The eunuch had a cold face, as if he didn't expect that this noble fifth prince would carry a talisman with him, but he didn't know what this talisman was for.

But the talisman was taken out, but the five princes obviously had no aura in their bodies to control, and although the murderous eunuch had no martial arts, he was strong, so where could he resist.

A eunuch trampled Ji Cheng to the ground, a eunuch stepped on Ji Cheng's elbow, so that he could no longer move, looked at the yellow paper talisman in his hand, shook his head, strangled Ji Cheng's neck with one hand, held the dagger with the other, and stabbed it again!

Ji Cheng's breathing became more and more difficult, and he saw that the dagger that emitted a cold light was stabbed down, he knew that he was already in a certain death situation, and he couldn't help but feel endless remorse, and in despair, he simply gave up, closed his eyes, and cried.

However, it was a long wait.

Ji Cheng had even felt the pain in his chest, and the big hand on his neck was pinching his neck, cutting off his breathing, but after a long time, he found that he was still alive, stepping on him, and the two feet on his hands didn't seem to be stepping on it anymore.

He opened his eyes in horror, and then saw a scene that frightened him.

I saw that the two eunuchs above his head also opened their frightened eyes, and two extremely subtle blood lines appeared on their necks!

Ji Cheng knew that the opportunity could not be lost, opened his mouth and screamed loudly, pulled out his right hand from the eunuch's feet, and punched the eunuch's chest.

Smack.

The two human heads slowly fell from the body of the human and rolled onto the bluestone slab of the Chen Corridor.

Ji Cheng struggled to stand up, looking at the two eunuchs who were still fierce and vicious before, like two rootless dog tail grass, gently blown down by the wind, and couldn't help but feel palpitations.

His legs trembled uncontrollably, and he didn't dare to step forward to see what was going on, why the two eunuchs had suddenly had their throats cut and fell like this.

He looked down at the dagger he was holding in his chest, and then he felt a great pain, and screamed in pain.

Fortunately, at the last moment when the eunuch stabbed the dagger, he was already out of breath and could not continue to exert force, and the tip of the knife was only more than an inch into the flesh, so that Ji Cheng saved his life in danger.

Ji Cheng dragged his limp legs and walked to the two eunuchs who had been killed, and while he was afraid, he also had a lot of doubts in his heart, thinking that it was his father's soul that was secretly protecting him?

The fifth prince who came to his senses finally understood, he stared at the broken wound between the two eunuchs' abdomen and throats in a daze, and then looked down at the yellow paper talisman that had been torn in his hand.

Although he didn't have the aura to use this talisman, when he was struggling hard before, his fingers were too hard and directly tore this yellow paper talisman so that he could escape.

Ji Cheng, who had escaped death, was trembling all over his body, holding the torn talisman in his hand, looking at the head of the person rolling down the stone steps under his feet, and finally couldn't stand anymore, staggering and sitting on the ground.

He knew that if it weren't for the fact that this talisman didn't need to be activated by aura at all, and if it wasn't for the fact that these two eunuchs didn't think of this at all, then no matter how much he struggled today, he still couldn't escape the end of death in the end.

He sat trembling beside the two headless corpses, his face pale, not knowing what he should do next.

The first time he was killed, it also implied that he killed for the first time, even if he was a prince whose heart was far more mature than his peers, he was still shocked and confused.

Ji Cheng didn't know how long he sat there, but he finally woke up, got up with some difficulty, looked at the two corpses around him, and his eyes revealed complicated emotions that a child of his age should not have.

Who wants to kill himself? Ji Cheng didn't know, but he knew that he couldn't get rid of his brothers.

After a moment of froze, he burst out crying, then picked up the dagger that had fallen beside him to kill him, and stabbed him hard.

One knife, two knives, three knives.

He numbly stabbed the dagger into the corpse of the eunuch next to him, stabbing out countless blood, his face was blood-red, but his expression did not change at all.

He hated these people, so it wasn't surprising that he did so.

After a while, he stopped crying in fear, stood up against the pillars, looked at the long quiet and empty road in front of him, his lips trembled slightly, and then he cried out loudly.

At the end of Langfang is the Huanyi Fang, where there are always palace maids in the place where clothes are washed.

...... The only Chinese network

......

On the outskirts of Dayan Kyoto, a castle with an unknown reputation is shrouded in a strange cold wind, exuding a psychological chill.

The castle towers between the green mountains and green waters, and above the gate, if you don't look closely, it is difficult to find the high place of the gate, and there is a simple talisman of yellow paper Danshu posted on the left and right.

Ye Fan's eyesight is already very good, and he is observant of subtleties, and he saw these two inconspicuous talismans at once, turned his head to look, and found that there was no one who appeared strangely.

This place is a strange place that Qiao Sandao discovered after many days of exploration.

Duan Yiyi is in charge of the Shence Army, in charge of many matters of the Kyoto Imperial Palace, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are many opportunities for the day, but in the past few days, he has traveled back and forth to this suburban castle many times.

Ye Fan knew that this place was probably far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.

The main bluestone road in the center of the castle leads directly to the main watchtower, and the rest of the streets and alleys are crisscrossed, and the alleys of yellow soil make Ye Fan feel as if he has returned to the alleys of his hometown Yanming Town, but the alleys on this side, compared to the mud bottle alleys of chicken manure and dog shit, are clean and tidy, and almost every household is planted with peach, plum and apricot blossoms, but after walking all the way, Ye Fan did not see a single figure.

Stopped for a moment in a dilapidated yard where no one was around, then raised his head, smiled and waved his hand at the eaves in the distance, on the other side of the roof, a man in black got off the roof, skillfully climbed the wall all the way down, and finally came to the courtyard and stood beside Ye Fan.

Ye Fan took a few steps forward and said in a low voice, "I think it's a little strange here." ”

Qiao Sandao pulled down his scarf, also suppressed his voice, and said slowly: "The feng shui of this castle is obviously moving, and the mountain and water luck is extremely gloomy, not to mention ordinary people, even the monks of the Four Realms are difficult to live here for a long time. ”

Ye Fan frowned and groaned.

Qiao Sandao asked, "What should I do next?"

Ye Fan frowned and said in a deep voice: "It's not clear what the situation is now, it's not appropriate to be too reckless, wait for someone to come first, and respond to all changes without change." ”

Qiao Sandao nodded and said: "I think the same as Childe, this castle is too weird, if you attack rashly, it is easy to fall behind." ”

Ye Fan slowly walked under the eaves, sat on the steps, and looked up at the sky, "It's going to rain." ”

In the night, soon a heavy rain came.

Bang bang bang bang fell on the stone table in the courtyard, in the alley, in the world.

Ye Fan was wearing a robe, so he didn't have to worry about getting cold, or even soaking his clothes, this uninhabited house was locked, and Ye Fan was afraid of startling the snake, so he didn't break in.

Ye Fan pointed to the sky and smiled at Qiao Sandao beside him: "I have recorded in some essays I have read before, saying that the ancients regarded rain as the intersection of heaven and earth, yin and yang. I think it's a funny idea. ”

Qiao Sandao didn't know how to answer this, so he had to nod and respond embarrassedly.

Ye Fan didn't care, he was used to Qiao Sandao's temperament for a long time.

Suddenly, Qiao Sandao's ears moved slightly, and he vaguely heard the laughter of children chasing and playing in the alleys outside the yard.

A moment later, as soon as Ye Fan got up, he heard a subtle woman's voice outside, like crying.

The two glanced at each other, Ye Fan took out two barrier-breaking charms, handed one of them to Qiao Sandao, and suddenly, it seemed that the rain slowly falling between heaven and earth was all blood.

After blinking, it returned to normal, except for the cold weather, the small courtyard was filled with moisture, and there was nothing unusual.

At this moment, there was a faint knock on the door of the courtyard door.

Ye Fan and the two were like great enemies, and after making eye contact, he decided to open the door to take a look.

But the knock on the door stopped abruptly.

After three times and twice, Ye Fan simply ignored it and let the person knock around.

After about a stick of incense, the pouring rain gradually subsided and turned into a continuous drizzle.

There was another sound of fingers scratching the door from the side of the courtyard door.

Ye Fan sighed, thought for a moment, took out the Zhengda Bright Jade Pendant from the jade plate, stood up, and slowly walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

The golden jade pendant in the palm of his hand shone brightly, emitting a golden light, like a blazing sun tearing through the night.

Ye Fan planned to open the door first, didn't care about anything, and threw this jade pendant directly into the alley before talking about anything else.

Qiao Sandao reminded softly: "Childe, will you startle the snake?"

Ye Fan thought about it, shook his head, and still walked straight to the courtyard door, after pulling out the door bolt, the gloomy atmosphere was thick, and the muddy alley outside the door was obviously empty, but there was a whispering sound, floating around, and footprints of different shades would appear on the ground.

He hung the bright jade pendant on the gate.

Before entering the door, Ye Fan suddenly turned his head to look and found that in the distance of the alley, there were two people, one big and one small, walking in the rain, both wearing plain white linen clothes, the child did not turn around, but "twisted" the whole head, looked at Ye Fan, grinned to the root of his ears, and laughed silently.

The little child with a snow-white face and a vegetarian face turned his mind in a full circle, and then continued to walk with the adults around him, and his figure disappeared into the depths of the alley.

Ye Fan's expression was calm, and he didn't continue to look at the treacherous scene over there, but he still felt a little infiltrating in his heart.

With the bright jade pendant hanging by the door, it should be able to stop these ghosts from invading them.

After Ye Fan entered the fifth realm, his spirit was yangyou, his blood was strong, his soul was tenacious, and he had walked through the Leyou Mountain Divine Mansion, and the way he looked at this world had also changed a little, similar to the god's method of looking at qi, which could capture the slightest wisp of spiritual energy, especially under the protection of the Zhengda Bright Jade Pendant, it was especially clear.

As for the general meaning of those ghosts, Ye Fan knew that this was giving the two of them a dismount, probably because he wanted him and Qiao Sandao, two foreigners with strong yang energy, to be more interesting, and leave this place early, so that the well water on both sides would not interfere with the river water.

Ye Fan walked into the courtyard, closed the door and tied it, Qiao Sandao asked, "Is there a real ghost hidden in this castle?"

Ye Fan nodded, "Eight or nine is not far from ten, I'm afraid that Duan Yiyi and Ji Yun don't have any good intentions." ”

Suddenly, Ye Fan's heart moved, and he suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.

There was a movement in the alley outside the courtyard, and the golden light of the bright jade pendant on the gate skyrocketed and disappeared in a flash.

Qiao Sandao frowned, his hand had already touched the hilt of his waist, Ye Fan stretched out his hand to stop him, shook his head and said: "No need to go, those lowly ghosts do not give up, they must suffer a little loss before they are willing to remember for a long time, now that they have been taught, they should be able to stay away from us, that piece of jade pendant just exudes a faint aftermath, if there is a blessing of aura, I am afraid that a single look can wipe out all the ghosts in this castle." ”

Ye Fan turned around and walked to the eaves, sat on the steps and suddenly said, "Qiao Sandao, if Duan First-class is counted, even if he is seriously injured and his natal flying sword bursts, he can still be regarded as a peak monk of the Eight Realms." If the two of us want to win, it's going to be difficult. ”

Qiao Sandao asked, "Childe, if the two of us face an ordinary Eight Realm cultivator, do we have a chance of winning?"

"Yes, but the odds are slim to none. ”

Ye Fan sighed and said, "Every monk who can cultivate to Nirvana is almost a person with a tenacious heart, and his magic powers are endless. So we either fight with him, or we will be consumed alive by him, although the sword cultivation does not have those miscellaneous magic powers, but just with the power of a sword, it is enough. ”

Qiao Sandao nodded lightly and wrote it down carefully.

Ye Fan placed the Nine Heavens beside him, and then said: "The monk ascends from the six realms to the seventh realm, known as 'one step to ascend to heaven, the difference between immortals and mortals', in addition to the seventh realm can resist the wind as you like, there is also the shattering of the dantian into a qi mansion, not only the condensation of the aura will have a qualitative change, but also can nourish each other with the five elements, and the combat power will rise sharply." ”

"If the Seven Realms of Emptiness is cultivation, and the Eight Realms of Nirvana is the classic cultivation of the mind, once the three hearts are tribulated, the Dao heart is extremely clear and transparent, and the soul and body are one, and the heaven and earth in front of you are a different scene. ”

Qiao Sandao listened very carefully.

Ye Fan continued: "So even if you and I can't be compared to ordinary cultivators of the same realm, it is not strange that there is a great probability that we will not be able to defeat an ordinary Eight Realms. ”
