Chapter 9: The Snake Collects Spirits

Winter morning.

In the Han Dynasty, the west was respected, and Chang'an had two inner courtyards of the imperial palace, which were divided into east and west, and were located next to each other.

Changle Palace is located in the east, also known as the East Palace, with the largest area. The Queen Mother, some of the imperial relatives lived in Changle Palace, and it was also the residence of the emperor before the completion of Weiyang Palace.

Later, the emperor moved to the more magnificent Weiyang Palace.

Liu Qing woke up from the state of being outside the spirit in a hall in Changle Palace, and slowly exhaled a breath, gathering but not dispersing, like an air sword.

"Last night, I sensed that there was a qi machine rushing into the sky in the city, and it was Huo Shizhong who broke through the Nine Realms and approached the level of heaven and man......"

She got up and went to the window and looked up.

"Shizun once said that he watched the weather of heaven and earth, and my Han will produce a god general who will help the emperor expand his territory and protect the stability of the world...... But Huo Shizhong's breakthrough through the Nine Realms induced Chongxiao's qi, and it seems that there is also a chance to ......"

Liu Qing greeted the morning glow to collect qi, and after the cultivation was over, he left the palace where he lived, dressed in a gorgeous red-patterned Hanfu, and went to the outside of the palace.

……

"I've seen Huo Shizhong."

The girl with an indifferent face responded: "I am one of the twelve guards under the command of the secret detective, and I came to inform Huo Shizhong of the progress of our side. ”

"Our men secretly followed the target woman who was released, she was very careful after she got out, but she did not stay far from Chang'an, and this morning, she turned back into the city.

It is still under our supervision. ”

"Back to Chang'an?" Huo Quai's heart moved slightly.

Things seemed to be a little more troublesome than imagined, and the woman escaped death and dared to go back to Chang'an, indicating that she felt safer to return to the city.

In other words, if there is someone behind the woman, there is a high probability that she will be in Chang'an, and her identity is not simple.

"Where's the other person who was arrested?" Huo Quzhi asked.

"I'm afraid that there will be many people in the city, and I will be locked up in the barracks of the guards outside the city." Yao Zhao said.

"Check it out."

Yao Zhao answered, turned around and led the way.

Huo Quzhi looked at the cat-eyed girl who followed him.

"The order I received was to follow Huo Shizhong to ensure that Huo Shizhong could convey the order to the secret investigators as soon as possible and cooperate with the action." The girl said.

"What's your name?"

"Song Ran."

During the conversation, he came to the gate of the mansion, took a two-horse van, and quickly went out of the city.

Only Huo Qu was sick in the carriage, Song Ran sat at the wheel, and Yao Zhao was responsible for driving the car himself.

As soon as Huo Quzhi entered the carriage, he saw the curtain on the left hand side opened, and a big furry head came in, and his fake cat closed its eyes with a look of great injustice, indicating that he was left at home to watch the door last time, and he wanted to go out to play this time.

Seeing that Huo Qubing did not object, it immediately took an inch, dragged the back half of its body into the car from outside the car, sat next to Huo Quzhi, and licked its tongue with a little excitement.

Huo Quai's eyes closed lightly after the car set off, and his mind sank into his body again.

The noise on the street outside the car, the conversation, and the footsteps of the rubbing shoulders were all weakened, as if shielded.

He discovered a change brought about by his promotion to the Nine Realms.

After this breakthrough, even if he stopped using the power in his body, the Teng Snake would emerge from the Book of Sea Soldiers.

The many ancient characters on the book of soldiers about the True Meaning Fateng Snake shimmered and intertwined, like an array of incantations, pulling the aura between heaven and earth.

"The True Meaning Fateng Snake Chapter has become a spiritual array that exists in the Sea of Knowledge......"

Teng Snake craned his neck from Jianshu and swallowed all the aura pulled by the array.

Call!

After swallowing the aura, the snake opened its mouth again and spit out the aura that had been transformed by it.

This qi machine descended from Huo Quai's spiritual platform, like a stormy wave, swimming all over the body.

His body is like a furnace, swept by the qi of the Teng Snake, smelting himself at all times, reaching all the knots, and strengthening his spirit.

This is equivalent to Huo Qu's illness being sympathetic to heaven and earth all the time, swallowing and breathing.

Every time the Teng snake swallows and breathes, the body is like a furnace adding fire, and the qi is constantly increasing.

Huo Quzhi is in harmony with the sea and the snake with his mind, feeling the changes in himself, and constantly accumulating the power of growth.

"Huo Shizhong, it's here." Yao Zhao's angry voice came from outside the car.

Huo Quzhi was immersed in the changes in his body, and he didn't realize that time had passed, but he had already arrived at the guard garrison outside the city.

He retracted his thoughts and got out of the car.

The big cat also jumped down, taking cat steps, looking at the people around him as if he was looking at the cat slave.

Around Chang'an, the standing soldiers and horses are the Chang'an Guard, one of the most elite troops of the Han Dynasty.

When Huo Qu got out of the car, he heard deafening shouts and the sound of weapons colliding.

In the barracks ahead, the Chang'an Guards were training.

The neighing of war horses, the collision of weapons and armor, and the beating of war drums in the camp formed a unique atmosphere in the barracks.

"Huo Shizhong."

The commander of the Chang'an Guard Army is Tong Xuan, the right middle Lang general under the command of Lang Zhongling, one of the nine Qings.

He himself came out of the camp to meet him.

According to the grade, Zhonglang General is actually more than one level higher than Huo Quzhi, who has no real job at present.

But it is precisely because of his high status that he knows Huo Quzhi's identity better.

This is not only His Majesty's cronies, his aunt is the queen, but more importantly, his boss is Huo Quai's uncle Wei Qing.

So there's nothing wrong with going out in person.

Tong Xuan, the general of the right Zhonglang, is in his early forties, with a bronze complexion, a fierce general, and sonorous light armor on his body.

"I'm tired of the middle general."

"I am equal to the court, and I should do my best for Your Majesty." Tong Xuan is short and strong, but with a high nose bridge and slender eyes, he is a brave and resourceful general.

He also has a backstage, his ancestors are the founding fathers, and he has been a military general for three generations, loyal and good for generations.

The command camp of the Chang'an Guards is located on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by high walls.

Because of the need to guard Chang'an, the barracks itself is a small city, and it is also one of the acropolises of Chang'an.

It was close to noon, and it was a little cloudy.

In the center of the huge camp, in a building, the mentally depressed Fu Feng was dragged in by two military men.

After Fu Feng was captured, he was violently interrogated by Yao Zhao and others.

These guys from the military were brutal, Fu Feng's cheeks were high and swollen, and there were many more wounds on his body than when he was captured, and there was blood everywhere.

But his expression was gloomy, he did not give in, and he had already planned to die.

was brought into the hall, Fu Feng saw a young man in a dark robe sitting on the main seat, with a posture as straight as a gun, and after a little thought, he guessed the identity of the other party, and said hatefully: "You are the emperor's favorite minister, the illegitimate son surnamed Huo." ”

Favored is obviously a demeaning term, and bastard is even more contemptuous.

Huo Quai's expression was as usual, and the other party provoked him just to beg for death, so he was fooled when he got angry.

But the big cat on the side suddenly rushed out, and its paws were about to come out of the afterimage.

Swish! Whew!

Fu Feng's face was covered with blood, and the depth was almost bone-insighted.

The big cat almost tickled him to death.

After a while, the big cat took away his paws and returned to Huo Quzhi's side, revealing a tsundere appearance that he was covered by me, and you should be careful when you speak.

Then he turned the cat's eye to Huo Quai, and expressed that it didn't matter, if he dared to talk nonsense again, I would take action.

Song Ran, who didn't talk much, looked surprised, is this cat going to be a sperm?

Huo Quzhi asked Yao Zhao: "Have you ever asked anything?" ”

Yao Zhao, who was standing behind Huo Quzhi with Song Ran on the left and right, replied: "There are scribes in the camp who use Confucian practice to pour their tongues and ask him, making it difficult for him to lie, but unfortunately he didn't ask for valuable news. ”

Song Ran also said: "This person should have practiced the Soul Closing Technique, and may even have banned some of his divine consciousness to prevent detection."

It is impossible for this kind of person to ask for news, in fact, there is no need to bother to speak.

We secretly investigated a kind of elixir and let him take it, but he couldn't help but say it, but after eating it, he would die in a quarter of an hour at most. ”

Song Ran was explaining Huo Quai's illness and assisting.

As she spoke, her eyes kept on Fu Feng.

However, when Fu Feng heard that he would die after taking medicine, his expression did not change, and even his pupils did not have the slight contraction that is common when he was afraid of death.

Song Ran sighed, according to her experience, this person was most likely caught in vain, and it was unlikely that he would ask something.

Fu Feng still stared at Huo Quai, and said, "If you have any means, you can try it." ”

Looks like a tough guy...... Huo Quzhi suddenly activated the power of the snake in his body.

The Teng snake in the sea seemed to be 'alive', the snake's eyes opened and closed, and he looked at Fu Feng on the opposite side.

The serpent is terrifying, and fear is projected.

Huo Quzhi used the Snake Horror Technique, which he formally practiced after the breakthrough, to attack the divine soul.

Even Yao Zhao and Song Ran also had a sense, and the air around them became as solemn as a mountain, and the terrifying coercion was like a tidal wave.

At the same time, Fu Feng snorted lightly.

The pain that acted on his soul made his skull seem to be uncovered and boiled in boiling water, and unimaginable pain and fear instantly filled his consciousness.

In an instant, he lost control of himself and the management of the tough guy's expression, his face distorted, and he was distraught.

"Where did you come from?"

Fu Feng heard a voice that sounded like it sounded from the depths of the soul.

This voice could not be disobeyed, and his soul trembled, and the only thought was to confess everything to the other party.

Song Ran and Yao Zhao looked at Fu Feng, who was still a tough guy just now, in disbelief, and in a blink of an eye, they knelt on their legs and began to ask what to say.

Song Ran pursed his lips, dumbfounded.
