As soon as the divine consciousness withdrew from the sea of knowledge, Lin Zining heard someone calling him. He thought it was one of the four demons and monsters calling him, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that Old Demon Wen had already taken over the vigil of Old Monster Xu, and the other three were resting with their eyes closed.

The voice that called himself just now was definitely not Old Demon Wen, and Old Demon Wen was also sitting at the door with his eyes closed and recuperating, without any movement. didn't see the person who called him, so Lin Zining also closed his eyes and recuperated.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, the voice appeared again, and when he listened carefully, someone was saying, "Come, come." ”

Lin Zining was afraid that he would be stunned, and was about to open his eyes, when the voice said: "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, you can come with me to know." ”

Lin Zining has seen many stories of ghosts and foxes transforming into handsome men and beautiful women, seducing human men and women and then sucking their spirits.

The story of the red snake is the most impressive, which is about a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam and rested in a wild ancient temple. When the scholar was reading at night, he heard a soft voice calling his name.

As soon as the scholar heard this voice, he was immediately fascinated, and after answering a few sounds, a plump and soft woman came out, saying that she saw the scholar reading at night, and she admired it, and wanted to add incense to the scholar's candle.

This scholar often hears people say that adding fragrance to red sleeves is a great joy in life, but he forgets that in this wilderness, there are no people at all, how can there be such a beautiful woman?

This scholar originally wanted to stay for two days, but he didn't want this woman to come for three days in a row, and the last two days were with him Wushan Yunyu, if it weren't for the monks in the temple who had some Taoism, he saw that the scholar's Yintang was blackened and his spirit was sluggish, and he knew that this was the way of the red snake, and cast a spell to save him, this scholar was likely to die in a foreign land.

Moreover, even if he is saved by this monk, this scholar will have to live for a few years.

After reading these stories, Lin Zining secretly reminded himself not to be fascinated by those foxy voices, especially in the dilapidated village and broken temples, where there are often monsters living there, so be especially careful.

But Lin Zining has been careful for five or six years, and he didn't see any bewitching women knocking on the door in the middle of the night to call him, let alone bewitching women, not even half-old or white-haired old women.

Unexpectedly, he could indeed hear a middle-aged man's voice calling him today, Lin Zining wanted to ignore him, and he was a little curious in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, Ann comforted herself that this was a man's voice, and there were really monsters who also turned into bewitching women to deceive themselves.

With an idea in his heart, Lin Zining's divine sense followed the voice.

Although Lin Zining's surroundings were pitch black, he could see that he was walking in a tunnel, and after following the sound a few turns, he came to a dilapidated courtyard surrounded by a fence, and there were several grass houses in the courtyard.

The voice that guided Lin Zining over disappeared when it arrived here.

Lin Zining knew that the owner of this voice should be inside, so he pushed away the firewood and walked into the courtyard.

After walking seven or eight parts, Lin Zining arrived in the middle of the courtyard and saw a purple-black plaque hanging under the eaves of one of the four or five thatched houses, which read "Demon Suppression Marshal's Mansion" with five gilded characters.

The fence yard, the thatched house, and the plaque are very large.

Pushing open the door, Lin Zining thought that he would see the living room lobby, but he didn't expect that it was a green grass yard again. Looking further ahead, there was a thick smoke, and Lin Zining's eyes could see things clearly through the darkness, but the dense fog in front of him blocked his vision.

Lin Zining was still a little underestimated about this strange courtyard, but after seeing the fog in front of him, his heartstrings immediately tightened. I don't know if it's because it's not dawn yet, or if this place is like this, and the light is a little dim.

Lin Zining looked down, stepping on a stone slab under his feet, his gaze moved forward slightly, and there was another stone slab half a step away. Lin Zining knew that these stone slabs were the signposts in the yard that pointed out the direction.

So he followed the stone slab step by step into the thick fog.

After walking more than a dozen steps, Lin Zining saw that there was still no end in front of him, as if he turned around and retreated, but when he turned around and wanted to walk back, his right foot stepped on the void, if it weren't for Lin Zining's cautious person, he had been vigilant when he arrived here, and it was very likely that he would have stepped on the void and fell into this void.

At this time, Lin Zining's back road had been cut off, so he had to turn around and go inside.

Just when Lin Zining hesitated, the voice came again: "Don't be afraid, come here." ”

These five words do not carry the slightest emotion, and now, Lin Zining can only walk along the stone slab.

I don't know how far I walked, Lin Zining suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water.

The sound of the water was not loud, but Lin Zining could hear it clearly, since he could hear the clear sound of the water, Lin Zining knew that the stone road was coming to an end.

After walking a few steps, the dense fog in front of him gradually faded, and then Lin Zining walked out of the fog, and his vision suddenly widened.

At the end of the stone road is a pond, in the pond lotus leaf fields, a few pink and white lotus flowers bloom, there is a small stream on the other side of the pond to join, Lin Zining just heard the sound is the murmuring of the stream.

Watching the blooming lotus flowers swaying with the majestic wind, listening to the soothing sound of flowing water, Lin Zining's tense heartstrings relaxed a lot.

After a short pause, Lin Zining turned to the left, and slowly walked along the embankment to the pavilion not far away.

When Lin Zining walked to the pavilion and looked at the lotus flowers and swimming fish in the pond, the voice appeared again: "Do you know why I guided you here?" ”

Lin Zining was originally facing the pond, but when he heard this sound, Lin Zining immediately turned around and saw a sturdy man in a robe.

The man was not tall, and although he was strong, he did not feel fat. The general's uniform on him has a feeling of tiger and tiger.

Lin Zining didn't know what this man's intentions were, but since he came here, whether this person hurt anyone or not, there should be etiquette.

Lin Zining clenched his fists and arched his hand: "In Xia Lin Zining, may I ask Your Excellency's high name, why did you call me here?" ”

The man smiled slightly and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

After he sat down opposite Lin Zining, the man said again: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I have a way to let you escape." ”

Lin Zining came up and asked about the origin of this person, in order to take the initiative, but this person did not answer, but changed the topic, pointed out Lin Zining's current predicament, and took the initiative.

For Lin Zining, he can neither say that he is not in danger, nor can he bow down and ask him for help as soon as they meet.

As soon as the man finished speaking, Lin Zining competed with each other and said: "You and I are not related, your identity is unknown, and you brought me here just to say this?" ”

"I guess with your intelligence, it's not hard to guess my identity, right?" The man in the suit asked rhetorically.

Lin Zining smiled and replied: "What Your Excellency said is not reasonable, that is, you reported your own family, I still need to speculate." With just the five words 'Demon Slaying Marshal's Mansion', what can I guess? ”

"Maybe you're the master here, maybe you're the master's servant here, or maybe you've come here from somewhere else to rob the master's business. Even if you are really the Demon Slaying Marshal, I don't know where this Demon Slaying Marshal is. ”

Hearing Lin Zining say these words, instead of being angry, the man in Benfu looked happy and smiled.

He said, "You are really shrewd, and since you have said so, I don't know what to do if I look left and right." I am Chen Qingwu, the former Liang Taiwei Zhenguo general of Xiang, and after his death, he was crowned the marshal of the demon subjugation. ”

After the fall of the Dajing Dynasty, the world entered the period of more than 20,000 years of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Northern Dynasties coexisted with the two countries of Yongqi, and later the former Sui replaced the Yongguo, destroyed the Qi State, and unified the north. The Southern Dynasties were the first to Yue and then to the Liang, and finally the two countries were destroyed by the Sui Dynasty.

Although the Great Sui Empire unified the world, it did not harshly punish and abuse the royal family and officials of the former Liang. Even many of the Yin Gods sealed by the front beam were only slightly reviewed, and most of them were retained after removing the unreasonable seals.

As soon as I heard Chen Qingwu's name, I knew that this person should be the Qianliang royal family, Taiwei was an official position, General Zhenguo was a military official of Zhengyipin, and King Xiang was a prince and a prince.

It is not difficult for a member of the royal family to be crowned a prince, as long as it is the emperor's brother or son, but to be a prince who can be named a prince and a general of Zhenguo at the same time, Lin Zining has only heard of it, and he has only seen such a thing in front of him.

Thinking about it, this Chen Qingwu must have made great achievements for Qianliang, but such a powerful person, he should not be seized by the imperial court, how can the temple be so dilapidated?

What's more, there is not even the slightest thing in the broken temple that can prove the identity of the god, and this thing is as weird as it is.

Lin Zining originally looked relaxed, just thinking that this was an out-of-body soul and coming here to wander around, but after listening to Chen Qingwu's words, his expression immediately became solemn, and he stared straight at Chen Qingwu.

When Chen Qingwu saw Lin Zining's solemn expression, he knew that he had understood the strangeness of this matter.

However, Chen Qingwu didn't plan to say the reason right away, but changed the subject and asked, "Do you know why I brought you here?" ”

Lin Zining replied: "But because I saw the mystery in the temple? ”

Chen Qingwu nodded and said, "This is one of them. ”

"And the other two?" Lin Zining asked.

"Naturally, among the five of you, isn't there another one who has also found the clue?"

"Then why did you just lead me here?"

"Because, with my current strength, I can only bring you here."
