Luoyang City.

On the third floor of the hidden building, the master of the hidden building with a mask was pale, washed his face in the room, cleaned his hands, and the clear warm water in the basin in front of him became a basin of blood water.

Shen Qiu Demon Man, the means are really superb.

Last night, he couldn't touch Zhuxiang at the crossing of the Yellow River, and he was the only one left of the six masters of the Luoyang Hidden Building.

This Heluo hero, after betraying the righteous path, really has some ruthless style of demons.

He put medicine on his wound, and when he was recuperating, there was a shopkeeper in Luoyang Yinlou, carrying the blood-stained burden, and walked into the room.

The burden was placed on the table, and it was cut open with a short knife, revealing the fragments in it.

Blood-stained scrolls, broken stone tablets, and a blood-soaked wooden box, and the blood-stained broken jade.

"These are all brought out by that Che Hua."

The shopkeeper pushed the bits and pieces apart.

The master who escaped death stretched out his hand and picked up the wooden box, regardless of the fact that it was stained with blood, and in the middle of the real air, he crushed it open.

In the wooden box, there was a scroll-like thing with a delicate hidden clasp, as if it had been locked, and it could not be opened without a key.

But on that scroll, there is an ancient seal script.

"Hung Shadow"

In this era, few people know this text, but the master pronounced these two words accurately.

"The thirteen volumes of the secret legend of the Xianmen are all-encompassing, but I don't know how many volumes this is."

Beneath the mask, a gleam flashed in the master's eyes, and he placed the ancient scroll on the table, and said to the shopkeeper:

"Can you hide the news?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and whispered:

This time, he asked Zhang Tugou to help, but he was unwilling, and Shen Qiu and the beggar gang also had a bit of fate, but they were forced to help out because of righteousness.

But the big dragon head was also a chicken thief, and when he brought Chehua back to the city, he also took a few things. ”

The shopkeeper spoke in a low tone:

"With the beggars' style of acting, coupled with their connections all over the world, the news of the appearance of the Taihang Ruins is afraid that it will spread all over the world in less than half a month.

Less than an hour after this car Hua arrived in the city, the Heluo Gang made a move.

Li Yijian, the deputy gang leader, personally took the elite out of Luoyang at night and went to the direction of Taihang.

I don't know if I want to swallow the immortal treasures, or if I want to go to Shen Qiu. ”

"Huh"

The master smiled coldly, interrupting the shopkeeper's words, he took out a broken piece of jade from the things placed in front of him, and rubbed it in his hand, as if he was carefully identifying it.

After a few breaths, he said:

"The Heluo Gang and Shen Qiu's demons are disconnected, there is no need to have illusions about them, this operation must be to protect Shen Qiu and his party before alarming the world.

How can he get his wish?

You will mobilize all the masters who can be used in the Central Plains, and then release news from our channels and organize people to capture the lives of demons and gather people in the righteous path. ”

The master rubbed his chin and said in a gloomy tone:

"The Heluo Gang prides itself on the right path, and the Beggar Gang has also fallen to the right path since the Battle of Luoyang, and there is great righteousness in their bodies, even if they want to maintain Shen Qiu, they have to think about it.

Mudicate the waters first, so that we can act in secret. ”

"Yes."

Luoyang nodded, he looked at the things on the table, and asked:

"My lord, these things are really the remnants of the Taihang Immortal Gate?"

"Yes."

The masked master looked at the broken jade in his hand, and said:

"I have seen this thing with my own eyes, it is the accessory of the disciples of the Xianmen, after the Xianmen is destroyed, outsiders can't find it, and now the ruins of the Xianmen are born.

It is impossible to suddenly try to stop and cover up the incident. ”

He paused and said:

"I'm going to the Taihang Mountains.

If there are really immortal spiritual objects in that place, this matter is not trivial.

And that Shen Qiu, the things in his hands are also what Xianshan wants, if he is really hiding in Taihang Mountain, he will not be allowed to escape again this time. ”

"It's better to be cautious, adults."

The chief shook his head, and he said:

"After the Luoyang War, the power of the Heluo Gang in the Central Plains rose sharply, and the people in the rivers and lakes here were all in their hearts, and the strength of the surrounding sects was limited, so they couldn't compete with the Heluo Gang at all.

Adults really want to act, I'm afraid they will have to wait a little longer.

Wait until the wind blows and the water is muddy enough before acting.

There is also the strength of the Shen Qiu demon, in the battle last night, the adult was also injured, and in this situation, he has to ask the general number for help and send more masters to come.

If there is an immortal monarch who comes and goes to Taihang in person, then the big thing can be decided! ”

"Indeed, the strong dragon does not crush the head snake."

The master nodded, he clenched the broken jade in his hand, and asked:

"You're right, this matter has to be decided by the Immortal Monarch. But before I report it, I have to ask you, do you think that Che Hua's incident can be distinguished from the true and false? ”

"My lord, when Che Hua was rescued by us, there was only one breath left."

Luoyang said:

"Broken little finger, the internal organs are full of cold, the heart is frozen in half, and there are no less than 30 knife wounds on the body.

After the Xiangyang Hidden Tower was broken, our people escaped and tricked him into taking risks, Che Hua still had the courage to assassinate Shen Qiu's beloved wife before.

But the means didn't work, and he was caught in prison by the Heluo gang and tortured half to death.

I sent the Heluo gang to investigate, and learned some news, it is said that someone robbed the prison, Che Hua took advantage of the chaos to escape, he wanted to follow and assassinate Yaoqin again, but accidentally discovered the matter of Taihang Mountain. ”

The master glanced at the things beside him, he looked at the master of the hidden building, and said:

"There are indeed some doubts and unknowns in this matter.

But if I want to see, seven or eight out of ten should be true, then Chehua will not wake up for a while, if we really want to enter Taihang and find the ruins, we will leave him alive. ”

"It's a pity, the aura doesn't exist, and the secret method of soul searching can't be used anymore."

The master sighed, pointed to the things on the table, and said to the shopkeeper:

"These things, as quickly as possible, will be sent to Lin'an, and they will be shown to the Immortal Monarch and asked him to decide."

"Hmm."

The master took out a delicate wooden box from the room, put those things in it, and when he was busy, he remembered something again, and said to the master in front of him:

"I heard that the southern kingdom intends to invite the immortal monarch to take the position of national teacher, and it is really a great joy that this country will be under our control."

"Mortal power, what do you mean?"

But the master was not interested, he waved his hand, and said:

"Entering the immortal path is what we people want all our lives.

The affairs of the Southern Dynasty have begun to be promoted, and we will work hard, and within a year or two, we will be able to see the spiritual realm descend with our own eyes.

At that time, we will also be able to get a glimpse of the wonder of the fairy road, transcend life and death, and be at ease. Old man, I have just been awakened by the Immortal Monarch and found this ordinary body to live in.

There is no spiritual light, and the roots and bones are very inferior.

If this thing is successful, I will also have merit under the Immortal Monarch Throne. ”

The master looked at Luoyang in front of him, and said:

"As long as there is really a residual aura in Taihang Mountain, we will bring it back to help the immortal family achieve great things, so that the spiritual realm will be born, and the soul will be able to cultivate the immortal law, and I will be spared the pain of rebirth.

Although the old man is not a successful immortal cultivator, since he has been awakened by immortals in this era, it is a great opportunity, but he must seize it.

And the old man's today is your tomorrow, you are close to the age of sixties, and there are still chances in your life? But I guess you haven't lived long enough, have you?

The closer you are to death, the more you are afraid, this is the normal feeling of people, my generation is dedicated to cultivating immortals, isn't it for immortality?

If you follow the old man's hard work, you will naturally be rewarded by the immortal monarch.

From now on, we can get rid of the cycle of life and death, so that we can live forever. ”

When the master heard this, there was also a hint of excitement in his eyes, and he bowed down to the master, and said in an excited tone:

"I will do my best!"

"Okay."

The master nodded with satisfaction, he had also been a human being, and he naturally knew that what this old man wanted in his heart, it was very simple to persuade these people who had desires to work hard.

He waved his hand and said in a flat tone:

"Let's get to work."

--------------

The capital of the Southern Dynasties, in the city of Lin'an.

The fall of the Central Plains and the turmoil of the Quarry Rock War did not seem to affect the heart of the Southern Dynasties, and the city was still as prosperous as ever.

The streets are crowded with people.

Although it is already the cold winter season at this time, this year's sky is very strange.

It is said that it is snowing in the Central Plains, but there is no chill in the south of the Lin'an River, and it is already November, but the temperature is still like summer, even warmer than in late autumn.

Thanks to this strange celestial phenomenon, business in the city's Qinglou Flower Lane is very good, and it is said that the annual Oiran selection is being held recently.

Merry people from all over the world gather in Lin'an, above the West Lake, there are painting boats everywhere.

Yingying singing and dancing, where it enters the ear, are all wrapped with silk and bamboo, do not look at the general trend of the world, the scene in this city, there is really a kind of charm of national peace and security.

It's just that there are more and more beggars in the city.

This caused great dissatisfaction with the Lin'an Mansion.

A few days ago, I issued a document to learn from the Northern Dynasty, collect these able-bodied beggars, and send them to serve in the army, which can be regarded as finding a livelihood for them.

It is a good deed.

However, some people said that these beggars were going to be sent to military training.

It is said that it is the Jinling War, and the southern kingdom can win, all of which depend on the immortal military skills in the hands of the king of Huainan, and now although the king of Huainan died in the hands of the villains, the military skills have been preserved.

The lord of Zhao Ming has issued an edict to follow the will of the king of Huainan, train the world's strong soldiers, personally fight on the battlefield, defeat the Northern Dynasty, and recapture the country.

In short, the warm wind blows the tourists drunk in Lin'an City, and in recent days, it has not been very peaceful.

"It's obviously a big mess in the world, but just looking at this city, it's like being in a prosperous world.

These people, who don't know that a catastrophe is coming, are still in the mood to listen to those bewitching Oiran singing, tsk, it is really a sign of the death of the country. ”

On the side of the most prosperous street in Lin'an, at the highest point of a five-story restaurant, Hua Qing, dressed as a scribe and wearing a Confucian shirt, stood at the window with a wine glass.

He still had the same smiling expression, his eyes were half-squinted, and while he was sipping water, he looked down at the high place, as if looking for some traces.

Hearing Hua Qing complain, Liu Zhuoran, who was sitting at the table behind him, also nodded thoughtfully.

He had the sword left for him by his father in his hand, and although it was a cloak of hair, it had a good skin, and when he drank it, he also had the meaning of being chic.

"In the past half a month, you have taken me around Lin'an, and you said that you were looking for some traces, but now, have you found it?"

Liu Zhuoran took a sip of wine and looked at Hua Qing.

The latter raised his hand and motioned for him not to speak yet.

Hua Qing leaned on the window, her eyes followed the bustling street, looking out.

At his height, half of Lin'an City can be seen in his eyes, and the best thing is that from this direction, at the edge of the horizon, he can just see the Southern Forbidden Palace.

The forbidden palace in Lin'an, which was only the accompanying palace of Da Chu, was naturally not as powerful as the Yanjing Imperial City, and it was on fire more than 20 years ago, burning down most of the palace.

Today's palace was rebuilt on the ruins.

"It is said that when the Zhao family rebuilt the palace, they were looking for the Mo family's skilled craftsmen, and those Mo family members really have the ability."

Hua Qing threw it casually, and the wine glass in her hand landed firmly on the table.

He leaned against the window and said to Liu Zhuoran:

"When they restored the burned Forbidden Palace, they had tried their best not to destroy the dragon qi in the city, but unfortunately, the fire burned too hard and damaged the leyline dragon shape.

In the past 20 years, Lin'an dragon qi has continued to escape, and today there is less than one-tenth left.

No wonder the Southern Dynasty is stormy, but it is not just because the Zhao family does not cultivate good karma. ”

"This is, the art of looking at qi? Brother Hua really knows a lot. ”

Liu Zhuoran had also practiced in the Immortal Gate, and from Hua Qing's tone, he knew what he was doing for most of the month.

But he didn't pay attention to that.

He said:

"I haven't learned this, but my master... Dong Lingjun is very good at looking at qi, and to be honest, I don't believe in that much. ”

"You're all about learning swords, I know."

Hua Qing chuckled, he looked back at the Lin'an Forbidden Palace, and said:

"Actually, I'm not very good at it, and I didn't teach myself to say it. However, it can be regarded as the wonder of the immortal law, one of the three thousand avenues, and it has its own reason for being able to pass it on to the present.

In Lin'an City, the dragon qi is almost exhausted, and in three or four years at most, the defeat of the Southern Dynasty can no longer be stopped. ”

He walked back to the table, poured himself a glass of wine, and said to Liu Zhuoran:

"On this trip to Lin'an, I didn't find anything.

It's really disappointing, we have walked around the city for most of the month, and it can be regarded as solving some doubts for me. There's some kind of formation in this city, and I found out the last time I visited.

I thought it was the handiwork of the Penglai people, but now it seems that it should be the formation left by Da Chu in Lin'an three hundred years ago to gather dragon qi.

It is said that the founding of Da Chu was helped by the immortals, and this formation is estimated to be a legacy of the immortal family, and it really has nothing to do with Penglai. ”

"But we can't leave now, the 'national teacher' who suddenly appeared in Lin'an more than half a month ago makes me very concerned."

Hua Qing finished drinking, threw a few ingots of silver on the table, and left the restaurant with Liu Zhuoran, who was hanging a wine gourd, and the two walked on the street, and he said to Liu Zhuoran, who was wearing a hat:

"The formation in the city has nothing to do with Penglai, but that mysterious national teacher, most of the time, is a person from Penglai."

"Hmm."

Liu Zhuoran also nodded, and said:

"These days, the forbidden palace and forbidden army have been training, I went to see it a few days ago, and the military skills they practiced did have a bit of the flavor of Penglai's secret method.

The lord of the Southern Dynasty respected the teacher very much, and built a Taoist temple for him next to the Forbidden Palace. ”

"Wait, you said that Zhao Ming built a Taoist temple by the edge of the imperial city?"

Hua Qing stopped suddenly, he looked at Liu Zhuoran and said:

"Where is the Taoist temple of the national teacher?"

"Southeast of the Forbidden Palace, five miles away."

Liu Zhuoran turned around and said:

"Any questions?"

"It's a big problem."

Hua Qing took a deep breath and closed her eyes, and the terrain of the city that she had recorded in her heart appeared in her mind during the most of the half-month search.

Finally, in the southeast of the Forbidden Palace, the last stroke was placed at five miles.

"The door of life is reversed, and the door of death is changed. The finishing touch, the earth qi is reversed, and the method of 'borrowing the corpse to return the soul' is used to rotate the remaining ancient array, which not only stirs up the dragon qi.

is still gathering the qi of living beings, this is not cultivating Taoism, this is modifying the ancient formation! ”

Hua Qing clasped her fingers tightly and said in a deep voice:

"Where is the highest place in the city? I need to look at the big picture. ”

"There!"

Liu Zhuoran pointed to the northwest and said:

"Nirvana Temple, Nirvana Pagoda, is only ten inches lower than the main hall of the Forbidden Palace."

"Let's go!"

Hua Qing did not hesitate, and pulled Liu Zhuoran to Nirvana Temple.

But when they arrived at the Nirvana Temple, the door of the thousand-year-old temple was closed, and the Southern Dynasty Tiger Benwei blocked the temple and did not allow others to enter or leave.

Because a distinguished guest came to the door.

The new national teacher, and the lord of the country, Zhao Ming, are visiting Zen Master Yuanwu here.
