Chapter 3 Mountain ghosts and ghosts

The sun had not yet risen three strokes, and the mountain was gloomy as if it was evening, and the black clouds were rolling and surging in the sky, and the rain was much heavier, from the original light rain to the size of beans, making the official road in the mountains a little muddy, slowing down the speed of the procession. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The mountain wind that was wrapped in moisture and coldness blew open the curtain of the carriage, so that Jiang Chen, who was meditating, opened his eyes, and glanced out at the corner of the curtain Jiang Chen, and after a glance, Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze, but there was an unfathomable smile at the corner of his mouth.

"How far is it from the nearest post station?" Jiang Chen asked the coachman who was still driving the car outside the carriage in the middle of the carriage.

"Back to Your Highness, there are still one hundred and fifty miles, and we may be able to arrive later tonight. The charioteer in silver armor said.

Jiang Chen nodded and did not speak.

At this time, Zhengang, who was walking at the front of the team, stopped, and as Zhengang's footsteps stopped, the whole team also stopped.

Zhen Gang looked at the lush green mountains and cliffs around him that looked particularly gloomy in the rain, and asked the blindfolded old man beside him, "Have you heard of some interesting legends about these eight hundred miles of Situ River?"

The blindfolded old man gently stroked the dusty white beard on his chin and said, "Situ Chuan, formerly known as Santu River, is said to be a place where Yin soldiers detain their souls and pass by, so there are often hidden mountain ghosts here. ”

Zhengang nodded and asked, "Do you believe about the hidden things of this mountain ghost?"

The blindfolded old man said: "If you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, what difference does it make for people like you and me to believe it or not?"

Zhengang said: "Maybe, anyway, I don't believe it, I'm afraid His Highness in the car won't believe it either, that's enough, let's go on." After saying that, Zhengang made a gesture to the team to move on, and the team continued to move forward at the same speed as before, but the blindfolded old man didn't know what he was thinking.

Jiang Chen sat in the carriage and heard the conversation between Zhengang and the blindfolded old man clearly, and he was also very clear about the legends of mountain ghosts and gods, according to legend, although the eight hundred miles of Situ River were sparsely populated because of the lofty mountains, there were still more than a dozen villages of all sizes located in this Situ River, and every year there would be villagers and pedestrians who disappeared for no reason, and this incident even alarmed one of the three princes of the dynasty, the Imperial Doctor, the Criminal Department sent personnel to investigate many times, but did not find a satisfactory result, the final conclusion is just that there are more beasts in this Situ River, this is the final conclusion, of course, regardless of whether others believe it or not, at least Jiang Chen doesn't believe it, the reason is very simple, because there is evil energy.

The Han and Tang dynasties divided the civil and military forces, the civil government was in charge, and the military was in the main battle. Confucianism has always been a scholarly cultivation of self-cultivation and righteousness, and Confucian righteousness is the most sensitive to crooked and evil spirits, and Jiang Chen's learned Confucian Taoist master is the first of the eleven bachelors of the Qilin Pavilion, and his own knowledge and cultivation of qi is naturally no worse than his martial arts. As for Zhengang and the others, they do not belong to Confucianism, and they do not have the righteousness of Confucianism, and it is normal not to notice it, but relying on the instinct created by the life of licking blood at the tip of the knife for many years, the six sword slaves still feel a breath of being spied on.

"Cult of the Evil God, Cult of the Cult, is this the goal of the attack on me? It's a pity that even if I am not powerful, you don't have such a good tooth. Jiang Chen, who was sitting in the carriage, had a cold glow in his eyes, and even the Seven Star Dragon Yuan Sword placed beside him exuded a strong murderous aura.

The Han and Tang dynasties spanned 300,000 miles, with hundreds of millions of people, the Son of Heaven guarded the country, the eight royal princes passed through the border fortress, the twenty-eight martial saints sat in the town, the seventy-two princes guarded the Quartet, and 13 million people with armor shocked many barbarians outside the party, but this does not mean that the Han and Tang dynasties had no enemies.

The Han and Tang dynasties were founded for nearly 1,800 years, and since Taizu Jiang Boyo ascended the throne and became emperor, the history of the Han and Tang dynasties is a history of war in which barbarism and civilization coexist.

In short, there were many enemies in the Han and Tang Dynasties, foreign enemies, and the Western Bright Holy See was eyeing each other because of the conflict of religious beliefs, and the Han and Tang dynasties had been fighting for hundreds of years, with mutual victories and defeats. To the southwest is the Hundred Sects Alliance, a force composed of hundreds of martial arts sects that once occupied the Han and Tang Dynasties that were expelled by war and fire, and they have always wanted to go north to restore their own Taoist system, and they have also been at war with the Han and Tang Dynasties for hundreds of years. The south is a barbarian, relying on the vast and endless wild forests to fight with the Han and Tang dynasties for thousands of years, although the Han and Tang dynasties have the advantage, and even once beat the barbarians to the south for tens of thousands of miles, regardless of men, women, old and children, slaughtering millions, until the Han and Tang soldiers could not reach the distance. But once Han Tang withdrew his troops, they would come back, so it was a stalemate.

In the sea in the east of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the sea tribe was suppressed and enslaved by the Han and Tang dynasties, although the sea tribe was enslaved by the Han and Tang dynasties, but from time to time there would be riots and rebellions, a rebellion three hundred years ago, the riots of the sea tribe reached nearly 10 million, the Han and Tang dynasties dispatched five million troops, thirty of the seventy-two road princes, eight of the twenty-eight martial saints, two of the three dukes, spent the Han and Tang dynasties in three months of taxes, killed more than 10,000 of the sea tribes, before quelling the rebellion, and after the rebellion, the Han and Tang dynasties were more strict with the sea tribes。

And outside the territory of the Sea Clan, there is a land composed of four islands, called Yingzhou, they worship the sun, longing for the mainland, according to the intelligence of the Han and Tang Dynasty Military Aircraft Department, the rebellion of the Sea Clan three hundred years ago has the shadow of Yingzhou.

These are only external enemies, and the internal problems are many, the cult of evil gods is the most headache for the imperial court an internal tumor, evil gods and evil gods, believe in the religion of evil gods, a group of religious forces composed of fanatical believers of evil gods, they frantically develop believers, caused great hidden dangers to the stability of the Han and Tang dynasties, since the emergence of thousands of years ago, the Han and Tang dynasties have adopted an absolute high-pressure strategy against them, and those who believe in the cult of evil gods will punish their fathers, mothers, and wives, and will not show mercy. However, the cult of evil gods has been repeatedly banned, but the harm of the cult has been minimized, but it is still not tolerated by the imperial court, and the behavior of people in the cult is vicious and terrifying.

Once the imperial army captured a village under the control of the cult, and found that the cultists had taken hundreds of newborn babies and used rolling stones to squeeze out the blood of those babies to feed the imps, and those babies were all crushed to pieces, and their souls were devoured by the imps.

And now it is obvious that the evil spirit that Jiang Chen feels is not the evil god cult, what will it be? The evil god cult has always been perverse and bold, and this time the target is the prince of the Han and Tang royal families, which can no longer be described as bold and reckless, but fortunately, although they are bold, they are not brainless, and it is not those favored princes and princesses in Dongzhou City who are attacked, but Jiang Chen, a prince who has been neglected and hidden for nearly ten years, but a pity ......

Jiang Chen's expectation was not wrong, in this lofty mountain range, not only a pair of eyes were staring at the fast-moving team in the official road below, it was a pair of bloodthirsty eyes, on their bodies, if a scholar of Wendao came here, he would definitely find a steaming black gas, which was already boiling evil qi.

"Gongcao-sama, when are we going to do it?" one of them asked a masked man with a withered income next to him.

"Don't worry, when they get to the station and see the gifts we gave them, we will do it. Hehe, although he is said to be a abolished prince, but he is the son of the emperor, and he can't change it for a dragon seed like that. The man known as Gongcao-sama said.
