The low-key carriage slowly drove into Shanglin Garden.

Seeing that the scenery outside the window was becoming more and more unfamiliar, Xun Shen's heart directly rose to his throat, and he repeatedly calculated, if it was the Empress Dowager Shouyang or the Empress Dowager Xia who wanted to see Wei Yizhi, how to convince them?

In just a short period of time, Xun Shen prepared at least more than ten sets of rhetoric and was ready to improvise.

Wei Yizhi stopped talking.

He wanted to tell Xun Shen, you really don't have to be so nervous, I won't have anything to do.

But now it is said that it is the same nature as in the Wei family, and there is no difference at all.

Therefore, he resisted the desire to be cheap, stayed quietly, and pretended that he did not exist.

Being known by his family, no, it should be said, that it is not a good thing for anyone to know that he has the talent to be a "witch".

From now on, he will never be at peace.

Compared with such a terrible consequence, Wei Yizhi would rather let outsiders feel that he was favored by a certain queen mother, and it didn't matter if he was even accepted as a face.

As for the cheeks? What is that?

Wei Yizhi, who was familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and often applied what he learned to the people around him, which led to a terrible popularity, said that he has never been stubborn.

Two people with different thoughts, although they were in the same car, they didn't communicate from beginning to end.

until the car comes to a slow stop.

Before getting out of the car, Xun Shen glanced at the calm Wei Yizhi with a complicated face, thinking that this young man didn't know what to face, and wanted to mention a few words, but he couldn't open his mouth, so he just whispered: "Follow me closely, no matter what happens, you can't leave my sight." ”

Wei Yizhi nodded obediently.

Even if he knew that nothing would happen to him at all, but seeing Xun Shen, who was completely unaware and had just been released from prison, was willing to risk angering the Queen Mother and protected a young man who had seen him once or twice as an elder, Wei Yizhi couldn't help but be full of respect for Xun Shen.

This is a good person.

But good people don't often live long.

Xun Shen didn't know that Wei Yizhi was commenting on him like this, so he got out of the car and looked at the white white jade steps, like a tall building connected to the floating clouds, and he was stunned.

Middle rooftop.

Between the lightning and flint, Xun Shen subconsciously turned his head and looked at Wei Yizhi beside him. I saw Wei Yizhi raise his head and stare at the middle rooftop with a strange expression.

"Lord Xun, Master Wei." The man from the brown-robed temple bowed slightly, "Please-"

Xun Shen is in Lulong City, in Shanglin Garden, and has looked at the middle roof platform countless times.

This towering building is so striking that it's impossible for anyone to overlook.

And in the middle roof, there is an endless stream of people, each of whom has extraordinary abilities.

This makes their faces younger, their bodies more vigorous, their steps stronger, their ears and eyes clearer, and they look very different from ordinary people.

But Xun Shen knew that they were just "dependents".

The so-called dependents are ordinary people who have been given extraordinary powers by "witches".

So far, the real "witches" are only the king, the national witch, and the two thousand stones of Zhongtiantai.

The "Order" of the Su Division, Sun Qing;

The "order" of the Track Division, Fan Chen.

Countless people tried to inquire about what the selection criteria for "witches" were.

Not to mention that after becoming a "witch", extraordinary power is close at hand, glory and wealth beckon, just say that the body has improved, the appearance has been optimized, and the life span has become longer......

These benefits have driven countless people crazy.

But no matter how much they probed, they couldn't get an answer.

So far, the only people who know this secret are the king and the national witch.

On the way to the high platform, Xun Shen was in a mess, and he didn't know how many things he thought. But under the guidance of the temple people, when he walked into the second floor of the middle roof, he saw Yin Ji leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, but his mentality was flattened.

It's ridiculous to say.

He had never met this famous "National Witch", but because of the other party's inadvertent words, his life was saved.

Otherwise, when he was thrown into the prison of Tingwei and wrote to the king and could not get it, those ministers who had been jealous of him for a long time would definitely not hesitate to kill him in prison.

Thinking of this, Xun Shen sighed lightly in his heart and bowed to Yin Shen: "I have seen Lord Guowu, Xun has retired." ”

Since he guessed that Wei Yizhi was likely to have the talent of "Wu", he didn't have to stay here.

First, because of the "Wu" thing, it was a top secret of Zhaoguo, and it was not good for him to hear too much; The second reason is that Wei Yizhi doesn't need his protection, so he naturally won't stay long.

"Lord Xun also stays!" Yin Cheng said calmly, "I also happen to have something to say to Lord Xun." ”

Then, she slowly pushed open the door and walked into the second floor.

The temple people stayed outside, with no intention of following, Xun Shen hesitated for a moment, and saw Wei Yizhi walking in without hesitation, he couldn't help sighing, and simply followed.

Before stepping into the hall on the second floor, the two of them felt suffocated.

In the middle of the hall is a huge beast, covered in pitch black, covered in scales, and nine extremely hideous heads, telling its ferocity and cruelty.

"This is a sculpture restored by Sun Qing and Fan Chen in equal proportions." Yin Ji said slowly, "The real Changhuo is a thousand times the size of this statue. ”

Xun Shen's face was solemn, and Wei Yizhi's expression was unpredictable.

The statue of Changhuan was too eye-catching, and the two stared at it for a while, only to find that there were many sculptures around, all of which were various animals.

Crocodile, stag, bull, fox...... And so on.

But compared to real animals, they all have something different in their eyes.

It's as if they are not chaotic and ignorant beasts, but creatures who are equally intelligent, able to think, and even able to communicate with humans.

This made Xun Shen feel extremely uncomfortable.

"That's it, demon."

Yin Ji knocked on the sculpture of the Qiangshui Water God, and said indifferently: "Demons and ghosts are just the names given by the ancestors, because they are strange and manipulate ghosts, so they are named." But in fact, they are all born from the aura of heaven and earth, and they are born in the mountains and rivers. The life span is tens of millions of years, and the strength is extraordinary. ”

What a character Xun Shen is, his face changed when he heard it: "Since it is such a spiritual thing, it is named 'demon and ghost'." Could it be that they have no good intentions towards humanity itself? ”

Yin asked rhetorically: "Can human beings have good intentions towards domestic animals?" ”

Xun Shen was silent.

The foundation of the Jizi school is "human nature is evil".

This great sage firmly believed that human nature is inherently inclined to sin, and if there is no order in society, people will never hesitate to expose their sinful side and commit all kinds of crimes. Therefore, strict laws must be used to restrain people's behavior and prevent people from crossing the line and doing evil.

Xun Shen is a beloved disciple of Jizi and naturally inherits this idea.

Therefore, he knew very well that there may not be good intentions towards one's own kind.

As for domestic animals, food is just food, and even emotions do not exist, so how can there be good and evil?

But compared to humans and livestock, just thinking about it made Xun Shen shudder.
