Chapter 7: The Sleeping Tower
79 free reading" Maybe this is the certainty in the dark, these deceased people, not only did not thank the mud people for saving them, but they also dared to use the mud people as bait, so that they lost a child in three years...... What a sin,"
Nangong Lingzhu shook his head and sighed lightly,
"Could it be that this is also the test that the mud man has arranged for us, if we succeed in helping him wash away the grievances of the past three hundred years, then we can find him and go to Qingyang Stone,"
I was pleasantly surprised to analyze,
"Let's hope so,"
Nangong Lingzhu smiled and nodded,
"Well, no wonder Liubu Inn met the old immortal Zhen Baihe of the Maoshan faction, he said that there will be someone destined to resolve the evil karma of the Demon Valley, dare to say it, it's me,"
I patted the back of my head with a sudden realization, and then said: "Hehe, maybe this is the only way for the old man to guide us to find the mud man, then we have to follow the old man of the white crane, first end the matter here, give the mud man a clear reputation, and then we can go to find the mud man,"
"But having said that, but it is not necessarily easy to really do it, you have also seen the magic powers of the Demon Valley, they are all extremely vicious ghosts, and they have practiced in the world for more than 300 years, each of them has strange powers, and we are seriously injured, it is not easy to protect ourselves with the external force of these magic weapons alone, let alone to deal with the Demon Valley, and we also have to return a clear reputation to the mud road people, this is the most difficult, we must let the people of Sujiabao realize their mistakes, and really build a temple for the mud road people, in order to correct the hearing,"
"Wait,"
As soon as Nangong Lingzhu's words fell, I immediately stretched out my hand to stop it: "There seems to be movement nearby...... Ah, the little third is gone,"
"Big brother, big brother, save me,"
In the distance, on a tree branch, I saw the black ghost thing in the shape of vines that I saw before, wrapping Su San'er layer by layer, and quickly dragged it away among the trees, originally moving quietly, but Su San'er just shouted, and the ghost thing immediately dragged up, seeing this, I immediately took the evil sword, and flew towards the bushes,,
"Xiaojiu, remember not to chase,"
"Got it,"
I responded to Nangong Lingzhu's words, and immediately swung the evil sword and slashed at those ghosts.
"Snort,"
A black breath came out, but the ghost thing was cut off by me, but seeing Su San'er falling lightly, I hurriedly ran forward and asked, "Little San'er, are you okay?"
"Big brother, I'...... I'm fine......"
Su San'er shook his head with a pale face, it can be seen that the entanglement of the ghost thing seems to have greatly injured Su San'er's spiritual power, causing Su San'er's spiritual body to fade slightly, I suddenly remembered the fat immortal's soul gathering bottle, fortunately, I didn't have time to return it to the fat immortal, it just came in handy at this moment,
Taking out the Soul Gathering Bottle, I said solemnly: "Little San'er, you take refuge in the Soul Gathering Bottle first, the spiritual energy inside is abundant, and your spirit body can gradually recover as before,"
"Thank you, big brother......"
Su San'er said, his body was light, he slowly floated up, and got into the soul gathering bottle,
When I looked up, those ghosts were gone, and after thinking about it, my face changed greatly...... "It's not good, Nangong Lingzhu is in trouble,"
"Little wine,"
"Bang, bang, bang,"
I hurried back, along the way, but I saw Nangong Lingzhu in the distance, trying her best, holding a charm, hitting back and forth, but those charms did not draw talismans, but only a little spiritual power blessed by the rune paper, and with the only cultivation in Nangong Lingzhu's body, alas, it was all me, if it wasn't for saving me, she wouldn't have consumed all her cultivation,
"Nangong girl, hold on, I'm here to save you,"
I tiptoed a little, and suddenly rose to the ground, but I just flew up, and suddenly I felt a weight on my ankle, as if something was entangled, and I fell down heavily, I looked down and looked, aren't they those ghosts?
"Ah, Xiaojiu, come and save me......"
Suddenly, I looked up, but found that the spell in Nangong Lingzhu's hand had been used up, and those vine-like ghosts tied her tightly, and two burly demon figures appeared among them, carrying Nangong Lingzhu and striding towards the direction of the Demon Valley.
"Ah, Wicked Barrier, let her go,"
I watched in shock as Nangong Lingzhu was carried far away, and in a fit of anger, I swung my sword and cut the ghost thing wrapped around my ankle into pieces, at this moment I understood why Su San'er had not had an accident here for a long time, it turned out that those evil ghosts in the Demon Valley were waiting for this opportunity, using Su San'er's life in exchange for Nangong Lingzhu's life, you know, Nangong Lingzhu is a body of cultivating immortals, for such a soul, those evil ghosts can't ask for it,
"Little San'er, do you know where they took Sister Nangong,"
Seeing those evil ghosts disappear into the valley in a flash, I hurriedly asked Su San'er,
"Sacrifice...... That's the sacrifice......"
I saw Su San'er sitting in the soul gathering bottle, trembling and saying,
"Little San'er, tell me quickly,"
I shouted angrily, Su San'er opened her eyes suddenly, and stood up tremblingly,
"Brother Xiaojiu, I know where they are going to take Sister Nangong, it's in the 'sleeping tower',"
Su San'er said anxiously,
"What,,Sleep Tower,That's where they're going to take her,,"
I was shocked, when I thought of sleeping, did they want to ** Nangong Lingzhu, could it be that the Demon Valley was full of perverts,
"Brother Xiaojiu, don't get me wrong, it's not what you fear, sleeping in the tower has nothing to do with sleeping, the sleeping tower is a tower that sleeps on the ground, the sleeping tower has a total of eighteen floors, representing the eighteen layers of hell, those demons live in it, Brother Xiaojiu, it turns out that the clansmen who came to Sujiabao are for me to be sacrificed...... Woowoo...... Now that Sister Nangong has replaced me, they will definitely eat Sister Nangong's ......"
Su San'er couldn't help choking up as she spoke,
"Eat her, how to eat, well, can those demons be able to devour people's souls,,"
I suddenly remembered something,
"Brother Xiaojiu, how do you know,"
Su San'er looked at me suspiciously,
"Since ancient times, those who can devour people's souls, among the evil ghosts, unless there is a kind of ghost, for the eunuch, the body is incomplete, in order to suck the soul of the person, and the intention is to take care of one's own body, otherwise will fall into hell forever and suffer, if that dream is a true reproduction of the process of the slaughter of Sujiazhuang three hundred years ago, then those black-clothed people, that is, the evil ghosts that have just appeared, they are all wearing a pure gold medal on their waists, which clearly reads...... Jinyi Wei ......"
I muttered to myself, but my feet did not stop, flying repeatedly, towards the direction of the sleeping tower pointed by Su San'er, and pondered again in my heart, there are records in the history books, the Jinyi Wei during the Ming Dynasty did not belong to the jurisdiction of the East Factory and the West Factory, Jinyi Wei is another position, the full name is "Jinyi Pro-Army Command Envoy Division", formerly known as the "Gongwei Division" set up by Zhu Yuanzhang, and later renamed the "Pro-Army Governor's Mansion", which governs the Yiluan Division and is in charge of the emperor's honor guard and guards,
In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the pro-army Governor's Mansion and the Yiluan Division were abolished, and the Jinyi Guard was replaced, as a military institution of the emperor's guards, Zhu Yuanzhang in order to strengthen the centralized rule, specially ordered him to take charge of the prison, gave the right to patrol and arrest, and set up the Suppression Division, engaged in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other activities,
Why do you think so, because Jinyiwei is not a eunuch, and a eunuch is also a eunuch, since he is not a eunuch, no matter how vicious he is after death, it will not reach the point of sucking souls.
It is rumored that the leaders of the east and west factories or insider factories during the Ming Dynasty were mostly filled by the eunuchs of the ceremonial eunuchs.
The official school of the East Factory has also been calling the eunuch the master of the ceremony, and the eunuch of the East Factory is called the "Supervisor", and often the eunuch of the Master of Ceremonies or other eunuchs is concurrent, and it has a thousand households and a hundred households under the punishment.
Wu Zongshi was in charge of the East Factory with Ma Yongcheng, one of the "Eight Tigers" at that time; Gu Dayong, another member of the "Eight Tigers", was in charge of the West Factory, when Liu Jin, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, had a conflict with them, and set up another insider factory, which was a system of its own, and the power was above the East and West Factory, and the punishment was particularly harsh. At the beginning of Wanli, he supervised the East Factory with the Celebrant Eunuch, and in the thirty-third year of Wanli, Chen Ju also supervised the East Factory with the Celebrant Eunuch, and Wei Zhongxian has been in charge of the East Factory since the third year of the Apocalypse.
Factory guards can act directly without going through the judicial organs, accept pleadings, and arbitrarily arrest officials, and the eunuchs of the "overseer" of the East Factory have 150,000 or 60,000 minions, all over the country, and most of them are filled with "light and skillful people".
Jinyiwei is only loyal to the emperor, do not need to be loyal to the factory, but at that time the factory was only close to the emperor The eunuchs could serve, they received the emperor's first-hand order to command the Jinyiwei, so two equal-level institutions were formed, in general, the emperor should trust the Dongchang a little more, so the Dongchang invisibly pressed the Jinyiwei, of course, there are also Jinyiwei above the Dongchang scene, such as Lu Bing, and Emperor Jiajing is small, the Dongchang factory has to salute when he sees him, these open and secret struggles, entangled for hundreds of years, If the eunuchs were mixed in with the Jinyi Guard, or if the eunuchs pretended to be the Jinyi Guards and came here to slaughter all the villagers in Sujiazhuang, then what were they for?
This place is poor and remote, is it necessary to bother the people of the court at that time to destroy the village?
Come to think of it, there must be some unknown shocking secrets hidden in it,
As for whether these evil ghosts were originally eunuchs pretending to be Jinyiwei, or whether they were really Jinyiwei, there is no way to know, at the moment, only after breaking into the Demon Valley and confronting these demons and demons head-on, can we know, Nangong Lingzhu, you must not have anything to do,
"If they dare to touch a single hair of Nangong Lingzhu, I will definitely dig three feet into the ground in the Demon Valley, and all the demons, not a single one will be left, and all of them will be flattened,"
Holding the evil sword tightly, I secretly gritted my teeth, climbed up the hillside, and rushed to the Demon Valley as fast as I could.
