Several people drank the tea in silence, and Xue Jue's mood calmed down a little. He put on an indifferent expression and said, "God, what should we do next?"

"You still call me Shen Zhifeng. Shen Zhifeng sighed, "I don't like people to call me by this name. ”

Xue Jue nodded.

Shen Zhifeng became serious and began to analyze: "Tianquan, I mean Wenchang Xingjun, has always had a soft temper. Mortal prayers can be sent to him at the first time. But this time, I tried to call with spiritual power, and I didn't establish contact with him, which proves that this Wenchang Temple cannot fulfill the prayer. ”

Xue Jue frowned: "What else?"

Shen Zhifeng said: "The person who prayed has a strange evil aura and spiritual power wrapped in it, which means that this prayer was actually sent to another immortal, and that immortal used some demon method to give mortals power to complete the prayer." Although I don't know what the purpose is, this will still count the merit to the heavenly power, and no other immortals will find out that something is wrong. ”

When Shi Hua heard this, she hurriedly answered: "If this is really the case, this incident may have something to do with Wenchang Xingjun's disciple?"

Shen Zhifeng nodded, dipped his fingers in a little tea, and drew a network of relationships on the table: "There are eight direct apprentices of Tianquan, and some of these eight people get along in order to enhance the merits of the master. It's just ......," her finger drew a cross, "In this way, the wish can be fulfilled with the help of demon magic, and in the end, it can only cause chaos in the mortal world and cause chaos in the Three Realms, so it must be stopped!"

"That being said, where can I find this immortal?" Shi Hua expressed his worries, as he still had several unfulfilled prayers and was involved in this troublesome incident.

Xue Jue said: "I feel that this incident may have something to do with the incident of selling officials in the mortal world. ”

During this time, Xue Jue investigated from the capital and found that there was a rumor that was very popular. It is said that anyone who wants to go to the test for fame and fortune, as long as they go to Wenchangguan to pray and leave enough silver taels, they will be given a strange spiritual talisman by the Taoist priest.

This spirit is swallowed with water, and even if there is no study, it can be easily lifted.

Many wealthy businessmen came to buy talismans, and it is said that the effect is remarkable, and last year someone had already won the champion because of drinking the talisman.

Shen Zhifeng's eyes rolled, and he pressed Xue Jue's arm and said, "This Dao Chief, do you want to go with me to pray?"

Xue Jue nodded understandingly.

Shen Zhifeng pinched a trick and turned into a scholar, and pulled Xue Jue to Wenchangguan with a smile.

After entering the temple, there were many more people praying than before. She saw that the scholar who had just prayed took two taels of silver to ask about the Taoist priest's purchase of officials, and quietly leaned over.

"I've been taking the exam for three years and haven't been successful, so does this talisman really work?" the scholar asked nervously.

The Taoist priest held his head high and said with a look of disgust: "If you don't believe it, you can not buy it." ”

The scholar seemed to be a little hesitant, lowering his head and pinching the silver two in a daze.

Shen Zhifeng smiled evilly, squeezed the scholar aside, rolled his eyes and said, "Open it, open it, if you don't buy it, I'll buy it." As he spoke, he waved his hand to Xue Jue.

He took out a gold ingot and handed it to the Dao Chief, and then said lightly: "Our son wants to buy a spirit rune, is this money enough?"

"Of course it's enough!" Dao Chang's eyes sparkled, and he took out the spirit talisman from his arms.

Shen Zhifeng took the spirit rune and said lightly, "Are there any requirements for use?"

The Taoist changed his arrogant attitude and said respectfully: "It's very simple to use, just mix it with water and drink it." ”

"Are there no side effects?" asked Shen Zhifeng.

The Taoist chief patted his chest and said, "This spirit rune is made by immortals, how can it have side effects! ”

Shen Zhifeng pretended to be casual and asked, "The immortals you are talking about, which kind of immortals are you?"

The Taoist chief pointed to the idol behind him and said, "Of course it's the old man Wenchang Xingjun!"

When Shen Zhifeng heard this, he couldn't help but lower his head and look at the symbols on the spirit rune, which was painted with a kind of evil art that he had never seen. She didn't believe that Wenchang Xingjun, who had always been among the top ten in merit, would do such a thing, after all, if it was discovered, he might not even be able to do it.

She rolled her eyes and glanced at Xue Jue, and the two of them withdrew from the Taoist temple together.

Waiting for Shi Hua at the door, he came over anxiously, Shen Zhifeng turned back to his original appearance, quickly found an alley, and set up an enchantment, before he took out the spirit rune again.

Xue Jue took the spirit rune over and looked at it seriously: "Let me swallow the spirit rune, I am a mortal, and I can experiment with the effect." ”

"No, I can't. Shen Zhifeng snatched the spirit rune with a look of unease. She was worried that there would be side effects after swallowing it, so she insisted on swallowing the spirit rune herself, after all, the divine physique would not be easily injured by the small spirit rune.

Xue Jue stretched out his hand and tugged at the other corner of the spirit rune, glaring at Shen Zhifeng with burning eyes. Neither of them backed down, just stood with the spirit rune trunk pulling.

Shi Hua couldn't stand it a little, snatched the spirit rune at once, rolled her eyes and said, "I think the mortal system is more able to 🧪 test the effect of the spirit rune." After speaking, he handed it to Xue Jue.

Shen Zhifeng straightened his face and said coldly: "I am a god, who should you listen to?"

Shi Hua took a step back hesitantly, and the spirit rune in her hand was half-handed. Xue Jue quickly snatched the spirit rune and stuffed it directly into his mouth, and the other two didn't even have time to stop it, when they saw that his body began to glow after swallowing the spirit rune.

With the light, a large amount of evil qi emerged from his body, intertwined with it, and protected his body like armor.

Shen Zhifeng nervously observed the changes in his body, but the light flashed for a while before disappearing completely. She looked up and down, but didn't find anything different, and held her chin and said to herself, "Could it be that this spirit rune only serves to enhance merit, and will not have any actual effect?"

Xue Jue squeezed his fists, tested the spiritual power in his body, and then shook his head and said, "I don't feel anything, maybe it will only work during the exam?"

Shen Zhifeng thought about it, bit his finger and drew a spirit rune and pasted it on the wall. Soon, the scene in front of me changed from a barren alley to the appearance of an examination room.

A large number of puppets formed scholars sat at the table, and there were even invigilators standing at the front, carefully observing the candidates who came in.

"Illusion?" Xue Jue narrowed his eyes.

The power of the spirit rune drawn by Shen Zhifeng with the blood of the gods is really powerful, and the scene is vivid, as if he is really in the examination room. Xue Jue admired in his heart, it was the first time in a long time that he had seen such a level of illusion in subduing demons and subduing demons.

She smiled and made a "please" gesture and said, "Next, please ask this candidate to take the exam." ”

Xue Jue walked to an empty seat, and after sitting down, he caught a glimpse of the exam paper on the table, and the content on it was also very detailed. The corners of his mouth twitched, almost thinking that he was really a candidate who entered Beijing to take the exam.

He sighed for a while, then picked up the brush and replied on the paper.

Shen Zhifeng observed carefully and found that in the process of writing the question, Xue Jue's evil qi and spiritual power were intertwined into a vague form. The form lay in his ear, whispering something. Xue Jue was a little surprised at first, but then he simply wrote down every word he said.

She frowned, feeling as if she had seen this figure somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Do you think that figure is very similar to Yoshitake-kun?" Shi Hua said suddenly.

Shen Zhifeng was stunned for a moment, and a figure in a cyan robe suddenly appeared in his mind. She squinted her eyes, and when she saw a few bamboos piercing the corners of her form's clothes, she was immediately sure that it was this person!

It's just that Yizhujun, as the chief disciple of Wenchang Xingjun, has a quiet personality and does not compete with the world. She couldn't figure out why he would do such a thing that violated the rules of heaven.

After Xue Jue's paper was answered, the invigilator's puppet went to put it away. He calmly stood up from the table and slowly walked to Shen Zhifeng's side. The illusion behind him gradually turned into green smoke and disappeared, and in an instant, it returned to the appearance of an alley.

"Did you have any strange feelings when you answered the paper?" asked Shen Zhifeng.

Xue Jue frowned and said, "When I was answering the paper, I could hear a voice saying the answer in my ear, and I could also hear the cry of a fox." ”

Shen Zhifeng's eyes widened, and he suddenly thought that the fox demon that Taiyuan Zhenjun had caught before seemed to be from the Yizhu Monarch's mansion.

Is there a connection between these two things?

Thinking of this, Shen Zhifeng asked Shi Hua Dao, "Can you send me back to Heavenly Court?"

"You can't even ride the clouds anymore?" Shi Hua was obviously very disgusted.

Shen Zhifeng squinted his eyes and smiled: "I can't remember anything now, so please take me back to Heavenly Court, I have important things." ”

Shi Hua sighed deeply, pinched a trick to form a cloud, and then turned over to the cloud and waved his hand at Shen Zhifeng. Shen Zhifeng tentatively stepped on it, and suddenly the whole person appeared from between the clouds.

Shen Zhifeng stabilized his figure, scratched his head curiously, and said, "Why is it okay for me to sit on the clouds of the Jade Xuan Emperor?"

"Maybe it's the rune repair cloud that can carry mortals. Shi Hua said, striking a spirit rune into the clouds and said, "Now you can come up." ”

Shen Zhifeng stepped on the clouds, and sure enough, he didn't fall again. Her brow furrowed, and a strange thought lingered in her head.

The clouds slowly drifted to the South Heavenly Gate, and the guards greeted the two warmly.

Shen Zhifeng asked Shi Hua to wait outside, and he ran straight to the Shenxiao Temple.

In the distance, I saw a girl in a purple Confucian skirt kneeling there, her head bowed as if she had made some mistake.

When Shen Zhifeng approached, he found that there was a maid kneeling beside her. The girl in the purple dress pouted, as if she was angry, and the maid kindly persuaded her: "Fairy Ziqiu should go back, the emperor will not agree to your request." ”

Hearing this name, Shen Zhifeng immediately reacted that she should be an immortal directly managed by Emperor Qingling.

It's just that Emperor Qingling sat down and the immortals lived in the west of the Heavenly Court on weekdays, so why did they come to Emperor Yuxuan's side to punish them for kneeling?
