This was the second time Tang Yun had come to this Taiqian Palace.

It's only been a few days since the last time I came, and it's already been an eventful time.

The water in Shendu was deeper than he had imagined.

"Chen Tang Yun see Your Majesty!" Tang Yun stopped in front of Fengtai, about half a step away from Xia Zhenyang.

There were a total of four people in the main hall, except for Xia Zhenyang with his back to him, the eyes of the empress and Xiao Qianqin all fell on Tang Yun's body.

Today's atmosphere is particularly solemn, and the background of the thunderstorm at night makes people feel even more dull, so after Tang Yun visited, he was silent.

The real dragon entrenched on the dragon pillar glared angrily, and the candle flame in the bronze lampstand was a little trance-like, and the flames fell everywhere.

The empress sat on the dragon chair, her long eyelashes fluctuating a little. The controller of the empire, although he wore a white shirt, did not hinder the momentum of the world.

The empress didn't speak, but Xiao Qianqin next to her spoke first.

"My Great Zhou God is built on Luoshui. The attic is in a group, magnificent, the gods have to worship in all directions, and the traffic in each square is busy every day, and the crowd is like a tide. ”

Xiao Qianqin unfolded a map and spread it out in front of Tang Yun.

This is a plan of Luoyang, which depicts the entire Luoyang clearly, from the outline of the city wall to the battlements of the city, to the small house in the workshop, all of which are clear.

In the southeast corner of the map, there is a black fog, as if someone had splashed ink on it.

"However, no one knows that this Luoshui used to be called Huangquan."

"In the previous dynasty, although the founding of the country flourished for a while, but over time, the dynasty gradually declined. At this moment, someone moved the Nine Dragons Ding in the Central Plains Dingding, and the dragon qi guarding the eight directions was destroyed, so there were many monsters in this world. ”

"All things have spirits, and every insect and flower can turn into demons. At this moment, the Northland barbarians invaded the Central Plains. The dynasty was powerless to resist, and the people were displaced. Many people died with hatred, and at that time, even the sky was dark. There will be no sunny days, and there will be blood rain during the day, corroding everything. ”

"Demons all over the world are dancing wildly, they are powerful, they are thirsty for killing, and countless people have died in the mouths of these monsters. Luoshui used to be turbid, and dead bodies were discarded in this Luoshui River at will, and every day, a group of bloody corpses would float over the river. ”

"Fortunately, the former Chaoyang Emperor is a generation of saints, although he lost the country, but he exhausted the last strength of the dynasty, captured all the monsters, and imprisoned them under the demon tower."

Xiao Qianqin pointed to the black mist on the map and said, "Just today, the Demon Suppression Tower was destroyed by lightning and fire, and a corner was lost. ”

Tang Yun raised his head and stared at Xiao Qianqin.

Xiao Qianqin said to herself: "There are nine big demons who escaped from inside. Your Majesty needs you to capture this nine-headed demon back, no matter what the method! ”

Either way!

Xiao Qianqin emphasized this sentence.

This is the power given to Tang Yun by the empress, that is to say, Tang Yun wants to catch these big demons at all costs.

Tang Yun looked at the empress who had been silent on the dragon chair, bowed down and said, "Obey the order!" ”

The empress didn't say anything, she didn't want to be involved.

The hearts of the people in the world are a very amazing thing. Catching the big demon, everything was arranged by Xiao Qianqin. If the big demon is caught, Tang Yun will naturally have a significant feat. But if it is not caught, it is not the empress's fault, and at most Xiao Qianqin is blamed for not knowing anyone.

The empress waved her hand, and Xiao Qianqin motioned for Tang Yun to come with her.

Tang Yun and Xiao Qianqin left the Taiqian Palace, and it was still pouring rain outside. The rain curtain obscured the sight, and no one noticed what was happening in the Chongrangfang. The Demon Town Tower is still in the shadow of the divine capital, and no one will find it.

The eunuch sent two coats and hats, and the two of them were draped on their bodies, and two more batches of fast horses were brought from the Yulin army.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qianqin was dressed in satin and clouds, and her horseback riding was still neat, and with a whip, the two of them rushed out of the city gate on their flying horses.

Everywhere I went, all the doors were wide open, and there was already a signal from the Taiqian Palace, and no one stopped me.

The two went out from Changle Gate, passed through the imperial city, and rushed out of Yixuan Gate.

This is already the westernmost part of the Divine Capital, and you can see the majestic palace of Shangyang Palace in the distance.

Again, it's very desolate. Because it is adjacent to the imperial city, there are no people here. As far as the eye can see, all you can see is a dense forest, in which a few exquisite pavilion houses occasionally appear.

Under the heavy rain, the entire dense forest appeared lush and green, and only a hazy silhouette appeared in front of people's eyes.

Xiao Qianqin drove the horse and ran in front, entered the deep forest, and gradually a road appeared. Who would have thought that there is a road paved with bricks and stones.

The road had apparently not been crossed for a long time, and was surrounded by a patch of grass that emerged from the cracks in the masonry. Heavy rain washed away the mud and dust on the masonry, revealing the original masonry road.

The houses on both sides of the road are all depressed and dilapidated. Some of the roofs of the houses were even broken, the skeleton of the eaves was revealed, the bricks and tiles were long gone, not to mention, some of the walls had already collapsed, and a piece of the unicorn statue in front of the door was missing.

"This is the imperial city of the previous dynasty." Xiao Qianqin answered the doubts in Tang Yun's heart for him.

From some ruins, you can also see the magnificence of this place back then.

Like the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the imperial city of the former dynasty was also the residence of various yamen. Every day, officials came in and out of the various yamen, and they were busy. The past is like smoke, and the face has changed, but the carved fence and jade masonry also no longer exist.

Stepping on the stone brick floor, the two continued to walk deeper.

This place seems to be deserted, but Tang Yun believes that there must be special people guarding it outside. The people of the Divine Capital City only knew that the gods were all established from the former capital, but they did not know that the imperial city of the previous dynasty was hidden in this barren forest.

If it weren't for the empress's permission, they wouldn't have been able to enter.

Xiao Qianqin was familiar with the road and seemed to be familiar with everything here, so she took Tang Yun to a courtyard and stopped.

There are two stone statues squatting in front of the courtyard, one with a leopard body, ox ears and one eye, and one with black hair all over its body, with a horn on its head.

"They are monsters that make trouble in various places, and they are caught here, sealed alive in clay sculptures, and they come to deter monsters." Xiao Qianqin said softly.

Tang Yun's fingers trembled slightly, and the grimace ring bloomed with a dazzling red light at this moment. These two monsters are actually alive!

Sealed alive in this stone sculpture, that is, if someone does not open the stone sculpture from the outside, they will always be locked here, and they will never be able to get out.

These two monsters are very large, dozens of zhang high, looking up from the bottom up, I suddenly feel small in my heart.

There are steps outside the courtyard, which are paved very high, and the two of them step on the steps into the courtyard.

This courtyard is incompatible with the surrounding yamen, it is not like a yamen, but more like someone's mansion.

In fact, it does look like a mansion. There is still a little moss on the steps, and the furnishings inside look like a delicate courtyard. Attics, pavilions, and houses are neatly arranged in it.

Xiao Qianqin suddenly looked up at Tang Yun, and subconsciously asked, "Do you know chocolate?" ”

Rumble!

There was a sudden explosion in the sky, and Tang Yun frowned and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Xiao Qianqin sighed lightly, didn't say anything more, and tied the horse in the horse pen with Tang Yun.

Tang Yun looked around, although some places were very old, compared to other yamen, it was rare for this place to remain intact.

Each tile is neatly arranged, and it is hard to imagine that this is already a building from the previous dynasty.

"Usually when I don't have anything to do, I usually choose to come here to be quiet." Xiao Qianqin pushed open a door, and this was a main hall.

Everything in the room is very simple, a bed, a table, and only a handful of furniture. Perhaps the only thing that catches people's attention is the pictures on the walls.

Xiao Qianqin closed the door, and the sound of rain was suddenly cut off, leaving only Tang Yun and Xiao Qianqin.

"The former Emperor Chaoyang found hundreds of masters from the rivers and lakes to form a new yamen, which was called the 'Demon Hunting Division'. Specialized in catching monsters in various places. ”

Xiao Qianqin sat on the bed, held on to the bed, and continued: "The Demon Hunting Division is like a cloud, they don't need a special yamen, they only need to catch monsters into the tower. Although this is the yamen of the Demon Hunting Division, it is actually more like a post station. If the people in the Demon Hunt Division are tired, they will rest here. When you wake up, go out to hunt demons. ”

Tang Yun said: "There are so many monsters, there must be a lot of people." ”

Tang Yun still remembers, what he saw in front of the Demon Suppression Tower, the arms that stretched out from the attic of the Demon Suppression Tower.

Xiao Qianqin said: "Of course, they ...... It is true that quite a few died. ”

Xiao Qianqin stood up, walked to a closet, found a mechanism and pressed it a few times, with the rumbling sound of the machine, the wall of this room actually opened slowly, and it turned out that there was a secret room hidden inside.

A bright light came, and it turned out to be Xiao Qianqin who lit a fire fold and lit a candle.

After a few candles were lit, the entire chamber suddenly lit up.

It is full of shelves, and on each shelf, there are spiritual tablets.

Xiao Qianqin said: "Some of them have names, and some of them don't even have names, only nicknames, or some don't even have nicknames, and they die like a speck of dust." People live to catch monsters, and after death, they are either killed by monsters, or they die directly from exhaustion on the road. ”

In front of the spirit monument, there are all kinds of weapons.

Some of the sharp blades were stained with blood that had long since dried up.

"Emperor Yang is a confused emperor and lost the country, but he loves the people like a son, in order to delay the attack of the North Metro Cavalry, so that the people have enough time to escape, he died in the city. He set up a demon tower, captured all the demons in the world, and freed the people from the torture of demons. So after his death, the people spontaneously made a statue of him and burned incense to worship. ”

Xiao Qianqin stared at Tang Yun: "Your Majesty ordered you to rebuild the Demon Hunting Division and catch monsters!" ”

Tang Yun asked, "Why did Your Majesty let me come?" ”

"I am the one who recommended you to her." Xiao Qianqin had a smile on her face.

Tang Yun was puzzled: "Why?" ”

Xiao Qianqin said: "Your Majesty asked you to come to Shendu to let you sweep away the forces of the previous dynasty. If you continue to stay in Baicai, sooner or later you will be like the mad dogs in the Magistrate's House. Now the two princes of the court are the heirs of Emperor Yang, the people's aspirations, and His Majesty's power is flourishing, but after all, they are women. You know, there aren't many options for women. The world is changing, who knows when someone will gain power, I don't want you to stand in line so early. ”

Tang Yun looked at this iceberg beauty in a daze, and it was rare to see her smile.

"Why help me?" Tang Yun asked.

Xiao Qianqin smiled and shook her head: "Because you are very similar to an old man I know." ”

Tang Yun walked to the bottom of a spiritual monument in the middle.

There is a waist card here, with the pattern carved by the green dragon, which is very gorgeous.

A long time has passed, and the four golden characters on it are still as glorious as ever.
