Fan Cheng did not speak immediately.

But a bold guess popped up in his heart-

"Maybe it's luck?"

He thought that the feng shui masters of the Great Wilderness were a group of monks who fought by manipulating their luck, and His Majesty the Emperor could also control the national fortunes of the Great Qi Dynasty with the "Tai'a Sword".

If a feng shui master is not careful in the casting process, he may attract evil spirits, evil spirits, and even be eroded by bad luck and become weak.

The scale of the luck mastered by the Great Qi Emperor was undoubtedly much larger than that of ordinary Feng Shui masters.

So is it possible that he will also be eaten by luck?

However, after thinking of this, Fan Cheng immediately stopped his thoughts and did not continue to think about it.

He felt that his thoughts were a little rebellious.

Because in the minds of the people of Great Qi, His Majesty the Emperor is a god-like existence.

How could things like weakness, sickness, and enchantment, which only torment ordinary people, exist in His Majesty the Emperor?

Even many people believe that even after their deaths, the emperors of the past dynasties still exist in the form of divine spirits in this world, quietly sheltering the country in a place that the world cannot see.

Just as Fan Cheng was frowning and contemplating, the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan suddenly shook his head lightly and said, "Maybe I'm thinking too much." ”

With that, he turned and walked through the foyer, around the shadow wall, and straight into the depths of the courtyard.

Fan Cheng followed.

The vermilion door slowly closed, and two metal golems in silver armor quietly hid in the shadows beside them.

That's the end of the topic.

The two quickly threw the confusion out of their minds, as if it had never existed.

Only the emerald green glazed tiles still shine in the early spring sun.

…………

The northernmost neighborhood in Luojing City is called "Fengcaifang".

Standing in this place, looking up to the north, you can clearly see the tall and majestic city walls, the neatly arranged battlements, and the gate towers and arrow towers in the distance.

Despite its name, it is actually a slum area in Luojing City, with dilapidated buildings and walls that bear traces of wind and rain erosion and vandalism. From day to night, it is filled with the voices of passers-by, the cries of vendors, and the shouts of neighbors...... It's almost never quiet.

But today it's eerily quiet.

A black carriage drove slowly through the alley.

When it appeared, pedestrians involuntarily retreated to the sides of the road.

The reason is simple.

On the side wall of this carriage, a silvery-white pattern shaped like a astrological chart is painted.

That's the hallmark of the Great Qi Exorcist Division.

For the cultivators of the Exorcism Division, the people of Daqi generally have a deep affection in their hearts—they admire the extraordinary ability of the cultivators to fly to the sky and call for wind and rain, and they also admire their actions of slaying demons and destroying demons and guarding the peace and tranquility of the country.

So even though the officials in the carriage behaved very low-key, did not carry a guard of honor, and no one sounded the gong next to them, the passers-by in the alleys did not dare to make loud noises.

And in their hearts, they will also be curious about the mission actions of the exorcist monks-

"You say, which way will the adults of the Exorcism Division go after they leave the city this time? What kind of goblins will they deal with? Someone covered his mouth and whispered.

"Could it be that you are going to Beibi Mountain to deal with the famous 'Ghost King of Bishan'?"

"Probably not! I heard that the 'Ghost King of Bishan' is very powerful, and he occupied the throne in the imperial tomb of the Great Chu Dynasty in the past, and ordinary monks are not capable of solving it. ”

"Maybe there's a saint hidden in this carriage?"

"Impossible! How could a saint-level powerhouse travel in such a simple, unadorned carriage? At the very least, it had to be a golden carriage drawn by eight white horses, and it had to be inlaid with pearls and jade to be worthy of the status of a saint. ”

"What if the saint has an important task on his side and doesn't want to be too ostentatious? A few days ago I heard a story in a tavern about a strong saint disguised as an ordinary saint and infiltrated the kiln and got into an argument with the other guests. Later, everyone found out that the bustard here was a female ghost, and the other women were corpses under her control. If it weren't for the saint's timely intervention and saving all the guests, then everyone would have become food for this female ghost after nightfall. ”

"Why is it that the version of the story I'm hearing is so different? I remember that it was the strong saint who concealed his identity and went to the Qinglou, and met a servant girl who looked down on people with dog eyes......"

“……”

However, to everyone's surprise, the black carriage with the logo of the Exorcist Division did not go straight to the North City Gate, but stopped in front of a humble restaurant on the side of the alley.

"Could it be that there are ghosts hidden in this restaurant?"

"Doesn't it mean that Luojing City is protected by His Majesty the Emperor and is absolutely safe, and there can't be any demons and monsters?"

"Maybe they're not here to catch ghosts, but to deal with internal affairs? For example, a subordinate is absent from work for no reason and secretly hides in this place to drink? ”

“……”

The crowd, who are keen to eat melons, is undoubtedly deeply surprised by this.

Soon, a young woman in a long light green dress stepped out of the black carriage.

She was tall, thin, clean-eyed, and immaculately dressed, and she stood in the dirty, noisy, smelly alley that seemed out of place in her surroundings.

Although her appearance is not the most outstanding in the Great Qi Dynasty, she still dazzles everyone around her. After all, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for such a fresh and beautiful girl to appear in such an alley full of dust, garbage and foul language.

"Gu Daoyou, is this this the place?" I saw the woman in the green dress turn her head and whisper into the carriage.

"That's right." A flat voice came from the carriage.

Then, a young man in a green shirt also walked out of the carriage.

When they saw his appearance, the people around them lost their minds for a moment, only feeling as if they were dazzled, and they all thought: How can there be such a fairy-like character in this market?

The boy was playing with a copper coin in his hand.

Under the sun's rays, it glows with dazzling brilliance.

…………

Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin didn't pay attention to the eyes of others.

They went straight into the restaurant and tried to find a place for the goblin.

According to the habit of performing the mission in the past, Shangguan Jian first used his divine sense to envelop the entire restaurant, wanting to lock down the place where the yin aura was the strongest.

But with the powerful divine sense perception of the Fourth Realm cultivator, she searched several times, but found nothing.

Like the rest of the capital, the entire restaurant is filled with a strong "imperial dragon aura" - it comes from the "Heavenly Dragon Array", which comes from the dragon veins under Luojing City, and dispels the evil demons in the capital with a masculine and domineering momentum.

This made her frown.

"Gu Daoyou, can you find the clues of the ghosts?" She pondered for a moment and asked Gu Xu again.

He didn't answer immediately.

His eyes were solemn, first he glanced around the restaurant, then glanced at a shopkeeper with a plate, and said to Shangguan Jin: "Shangguan Daoyou, do you think this shopkeeper looks a little familiar?" ”

Hearing his words, Shangguan Jin also looked in the direction he said.

I saw that the shopkeeper rushed out of the kitchen with a plate of dishes at the urging of the boss, and almost tripped over the leg of the chair.

He was not very old, not very tall, of moderate stature, with a somewhat morbid paleness, a conspicuous black mole next to his eye, and a gray cloth shirt stained with oil.

"I'm not impressed." Shangguan Jin shook his head, saying that he had never seen this person.

"If I'm not mistaken, this person looks almost exactly like an exorcist official from nearly twenty years ago," Gu Xu said in a flat tone, "His name is 'Wu Angelica', and he was once selected into the 'Divine Machine Battalion' because of his outstanding cultivation talent, and he worked with the geniuses of the time to kill demons and demons across the country.

"Later, the previous generation of 'Shenji Battalion' was wiped out in the process of trying to kill the ghost 'Qiqi', and this senior Wu was naturally not spared."

"The monks of the previous generation of 'Divine Machine Battalion'?" Shangguan Jin was surprised.

"That's right," Gu Xu nodded and replied, "I have looked through the archives of some personnel in the history of the Exorcism Division before, and I remember the portraits of each of them, and I also remember the textual description of each of their appearances on the archives - for example, the description of this senior Wu in the archives is 'Wu Angelica, with a moderate figure, a white face and beard, moles at the corners of his eyes, and thin eyes and thin lips'.

"It's just that I'm feeling very strange right now—

"If this senior Wu escaped death in a desperate situation, then why has nearly twenty years passed, and his appearance has not changed at all, and there is no trace of aging at all?"

Shangguan Jin's first reaction was: This senior Wu may have fallen into the tricks of the ghost and evil sect and was turned into a ghoul-like existence.

But she quickly denied this speculation, after all, this shopkeeper did not have the sinister aura of ghosts, but had a normal body temperature and a continuous heartbeat.

"Maybe he's not a senior Wu, just a similar-looking person?" Shangguan Jin guessed.

Her tone didn't sound too unconvinced, though.

Gu Xu was silent.

He pulled out the copper coin from his pocket again, trying to find the answer through divination.

However, at this time, after the shopkeeper who looked exactly like Wu Angelica's predecessor delivered the dishes to the guests' tables, he suddenly quickened his pace and hurriedly walked towards the backyard of the restaurant.

Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin glanced at each other and followed.

PS: I'm very sorry, the acute gastroenteritis attack a few days ago, and the symptoms were a bit severe, so I didn't finish writing until now, so I made everyone wait for QAQ for a long time
