Jingshi, the center of Dayan, is also the absolute center of the world of Liaozhai.

In the past few hundred years, the Jingshi has been very stable, but in the last few years, the situation has become more and more delicate, not only those cultivators have sensed that something is wrong, even some ordinary people have also discovered the problem of things.

At the beginning of his accession to the throne, the current emperor was also diligent in government and loved the people, and in the following 20 years, he was also trembling, maintaining the stability of the world, and had great prestige inside and outside the court and the opposition, and was called the holy son of heaven who was rare once in a thousand years.

However, as the emperor got older, this situation changed somewhere.

The emperor became more and more obsessed with pleasure, and even paid little attention to the affairs of the court, and even deposed many loyal ministers for the people, which made the court become a miasma, and the people began to complain, and in the past few years, there have been many rebellions.

In this situation, many people secretly speculated that it must be the emperor who was old, so he became confused, and secretly looked forward to the crown prince ascending the throne and restoring the rule of the government and the opposition again.

And at this moment, in the imperial study of the imperial palace, although the old emperor was majestic, but he could not hide his rotten atmosphere, his eyebrows were gray, his body was rickety, his face was full of wrinkles, he sat on the dragon chair, put down the main pen in his hand, and then began to close his eyes and recuperate.

"I've been an emperor for more than 30 years, and I'm really old...... But I'm still not reconciled, do I have to die like my father and those ancestors?"

The old emperor has thought about this question countless times, he obviously sits in the world, has unrivaled power, and wealth that ordinary people can't imagine, and in the end he can die, he will definitely not accept it.

In the ordinary world, the emperor has the idea of seeking to generate, not to mention in the world of Liaozhai, the immortal Buddha really exists, and immortality is also real, and the old emperor has this thought, which is really normal.

"Sun Fu, what's going on?"

The old emperor said softly, and then he saw an old eunuch, who quietly appeared from the corner, without causing any movement, bowed down and said:

"Your Majesty, the Zen master has replied, saying that the time has not yet come, and His Majesty needs to continue to ......."

The old emperor's expression was gloomy when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more, cooperating with the peerless demon was tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, he actually didn't have much choice.

"Prince...... And how are the courtiers doing these days?"

The old emperor did not ask about this matter again, but asked about the affairs of the court and the opposition.

As he grew older and older, when he was worried about death, the old emperor also paid more and more attention to power, especially the young prince and the important ministers in the court, so that the old emperor had to take precautions.

Over the years, the reason why so many important ministers have been solved is naturally part of the reason.

"The prince has lived in the palace for a long time, and he rarely interacts with ministers, and the palace is a scholar...... Tobe Shirou and others often get together and say that they want to advise Your Majesty at the court meeting tomorrow......

After the eunuch Sun Fu finished speaking, he stood quietly to one side, like a wooden man, making people forget his existence.

As the emperor's confidant, Sun Fu naturally knew how to get along with the old emperor, and if he showed too much thought or intelligence, he would never end well.

What the superior needs is just obedience, and does not need your opinion or advice.

"Continue to watch them, if there is any abnormality, take them all directly, and those who dare to resist will be put to death."

The old emperor's expression was gloomy, and when it came to the struggle for power, even his son could be killed, and this realization was already known the moment he sat on the throne.

……

When the Jingshi was turbulent, Su Cheng and others also found out what happened in Rongcheng.

In the restaurant, in front of the windowsill on the second floor, Tian Daoren put down his wine glass and talked about the news he had inquired about before:

"In the city for more than a month, people have often been killed, the man was dug out of his heart and liver and died, and the woman was stripped of her skin and died.

Xin Shi Niang also nodded, looked at the street below, and said:

"And it's definitely an extraordinary monster, I heard that the government here also found some masters to solve it, but I didn't even find any trace of the monster, so I had to arrange those runes at the gate of the city."

Speaking of this, Su Cheng was also a little puzzled, and then asked directly:

"Fourteen Niang, Fu Shui at the city gate, how did you avoid it?"

At the gate of the city, Su Cheng saw with his own eyes that Xin Shi Niang drank the rune water, although the rune water is not omnipotent, but it will not have no reaction.

Xin Shi Niang smiled, but she didn't hide it, and said a little smugly:

"Those runes are aimed at, in fact, they are mainly monsters that have been contaminated with blood, although I am from the fox clan, my hands have not been contaminated with any blood, and those runes have no effect on me,"

Su Cheng nodded, Xin Shi Niang is indeed different from ordinary monsters, in the original plot of Liaozhai, the other party finally became an immortal, which is obviously not comparable to ordinary monsters.

After all, it is normal for ordinary monsters to kill people, even if they don't kill humans, they will kill other creatures for food, and there are really very few people who can really not be contaminated with blood.

"Fourteen Niang, yes, if other demon races and humans in the world can be like you, there won't be so much trouble in time."

Su Cheng praised from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't do it himself without being stained with blood, so he naturally understood the difficulty of this kind of thing.

"Brother Su, you have a good reputation, I'm just lucky."

Xin Shi Niang is very humble, or a little self-aware, if she was not born in the fox clan, the ordinary demon clan would inevitably be contaminated with blood in order to make a living.

At the same time, Su Cheng was also thinking back to the original plot of Liaozhai, guessing which monster was here?

It's a pity that there are too many monsters in the Liaozhai world, and now there are too few clues, and Su Cheng can't guess the identity of the monster for a while.

"I think we will divide into two ways, on the one hand, we will go to the government to find out the news, and on the other hand, we will go to the place where the monster appears and investigate again."

In the end, Tian Daoren proposed, this is also the only way he can think of now.

Su Cheng was silent for a while, then shook his head and said:

"Let's try my method first, after arriving at the Yuan Infant Realm, I can use a lot more means, I will first try to calculate the news of this monster, hoping to find some clues."

Su Cheng was still a little sure in his heart, unless the demon's cultivation was stronger than him, or he had the ability to evade calculations, otherwise he would be able to deduce some things more or less.

The reason why Yuanying cultivation is called a land immortal is that in addition to being a powerful cultivator, it has almost no weaknesses, and it is also one of them.

Although Su Cheng has not studied the Heavenly Calculation in depth, he only needs to understand the general means, and he can rely on his powerful cultivation and cast the corresponding Dao method to deal with those who are lower than his own cultivation, and there is no problem.
