That same evening.

Zuo Michi changed his clothes and walked directly out of the mansion, all the way to the east of Kyoto Castle.

Somewhere in the east of the city, there is a market hidden in the middle of the market.

It is known as the "ghost market".

During the day, the surface of the ghost market is crowded with people, and many people who are new to Kyoto will go to this ghost market first.

There are hook columns, gambling houses, restaurants, inns, everything.

It can be said that the ghost market during the day is the largest gold cave in Kyoto, and it is extremely lively.

It's only at night that it's deserted.

But that's just the surface of the desert, and the underground of this ghost city has a cave that extends in all directions.

This is the real ghost market.

The ghost market is only allowed to enter at night, and the space below is huge, and many transactions that are forbidden to trade can be carried out here.

Some people say that the underground of this ghost city is the same as the aboveground, and there are royal forces mixed in with it.

Some people also say that this ghost city is set up by a high-ranking official with great energy, which is why it is so arrogant.

But no one can say exactly who is behind it.

When Zuo Dao had just risen to hundreds of households, one of the cases involved the ghost market.

He also led people to spy on him.

even used connections to find out who was behind the ghost market.

But in the end, nothing came of it.

The figure of the left figure wanders around the castle of Kyoto, mostly walking in the shadows.

After making sure that no one was following him, he took out a grimace mask and put it on his body, and changed into a Xuanyi robe.

This was found in the storage ring of the Green Snake Dao people.

The Green Snake Daoist often thinks of himself as a Taoist, so the Dao robes in the storage ring have piled up a lot.

And it's all new, but it's cheaper than the left road.

Zuo Dao came to the eastern edge of the city, jumped directly into a deserted mansion, and looked around.

After making sure that there was no one, he jumped directly into the dry well in the hospital.

He fell about four or five meters downward, then raised his hand and patted his back, and his body suddenly floated forward, landing steadily on a clearing.

In front of his eyes, there was a little more light, coming from a gap.

Zuo Dao stepped forward and gently pushed open the stone wall in front of him, and there was a stone door here.

Pushing open the stone gate, the scene in the ghost market instantly comes into view.

It is full of houses built on the basis of caves, and the prosperity is not far less than that of the ground.

Most of the people walking in the ghost market are dressed in black and have black faces.

Except for those beautiful girls who stand in the green building to solicit customers and the vendors who set up stalls around, only a very few people will show their true faces.

The left road closed the stone gate again, and then merged into the flow of people and walked towards the ghost market.

The vendors who set up stalls along the way, looking at the dress of the crowd, are not surprised.

After all, in this underground ghost market, what kind of dress have they not seen?

Not to mention Taoist robes, they have seen a lot of monk's robes, and even lama robes.

There are even monks who specially select the best green buildings in the ghost market, saying that it is the group of beautiful girls who help them practice.

The ghosts know what their idea is.

Zuo Dao followed the flow of people and came to a small shop on the edge of the ghost market, with a few candles in the store, but it still looked ghostly.

The door of the shop is open, and the lobby is facing a large jar, and there is a lot of space around it.

There are only a few tables and chairs for guests to sit on, but you can't tell what is sold here, and even the owner has not seen it.

He walked straight into the store, took out a money bag, and threw it directly into the jar.

With the dull sound of the money bag falling to the ground.

A candle flame came out from behind the altar.

I saw an old woman with a lot of wrinkles on her face and a leaning body walking out of the lamp behind the altar.

He came to the altar and sat down on the futon.

She lowered her head and said, "Ten taels of gold, what does the guest want to ask?" ”

Zuo Dao glanced at the old woman and said, "Granny Jinhua, don't come unharmed." ”

After hearing this voice, Granny Jinhua glanced up at Zuo Dao, and a hint of surprise seemed to flash in her somewhat cloudy eyes.

Then he said: "Who am I, it turned out to be you kid, and you also have a time when you are so generous?" ”

Zuo Dao sat on a chair, took out two beef jerky, and threw one over.

He ate to himself and said, "What you said is like the silver money I had before." ”

Mother-in-law Jinhua took the beef jerky, put it in her mouth and took a bite, her eyes lit up instantly, and said, "Big demon flesh and blood, it seems that your kid has a great opportunity." ”

"This trip to Youzhou, although it is only a year, can make you break through to this extent."

"Are you going to take that Dao seed from the 100,000 Great Mountains into your hands?"

When Zuo Dao heard this, his hand couldn't help but stiffen, and said, "Do you know what happened in Youzhou?" ”

Granny Jinhua said with a smile while eating beef jerky: "My place is to sell news, if the news is not well-informed, who will come?" ”

"What do you want to ask this time?"

Zuo Dao sighed deeply.

If even Granny Jinhua has this kind of guess, then the martial arts immortal in the deep palace will probably not be able to hide it.

But that guy is acting decently so far.

Or there is no other way, judging from Cao Xiang's attitude towards him at the beginning, he should not make a move on him.

He glanced at Granny Jinhua and said, "I'm here to inquire about the Dao Seed. ”

Hearing this, Granny Jinhua took out a piece of letter from her bosom, and then threw it to Zuo Dao.

Zuo Dao glanced at Granny Jinhua.

Granny Jinhua smiled: "I have been ready for a long time." ”

Hearing this, Zuo Dao chuckled, although he couldn't see any other expressions on his face, he was much more vigilant in his heart.

This golden flower mother-in-law is even more terrifying than she imagined.

Youzhou is so far away, he knows everything about what is happening, and now he can still guess that he will come today, and even guess what he will inquire.

This is really frightening.

Zuo Dao looked at the news in his hand while always vigilant around.

When he was in Youzhou before, he didn't know the specific information of the Dao species, and he only heard a general idea from some people.

But in the news that Granny Jinhua prepared for herself, it was extremely detailed.

This so-called seed of the Tao is the seed of the Tao.

Only when the world is turbulent, and there is a spiritual opportunity between heaven and earth, will there be a kind of Tao in the world.

There are thousands of kinds of Tao in the world, and each one represents a different meaning.

In addition to the Four Elephant Dao species, there are also some other Dao species, such as immortality, cause and effect, and demon gods......

But every Dao Seed, if it is refined, can bring a lot of benefits to people.

Increases Perception, Qualifications, Physique, Increases True Element Recovery Speed, and more.

In addition to these, there are also different attribute amplifications, and they can be used to forge a Dao foundation.

Lay a perfect foundation for your future enlightenment.

Just as there are thousands of cultivation methods in the same world, all of them have different paths and the same end, and in the end, they all lead to the same path.

It's just that some processes are flat, and some are bumpy.

And the Dao seed is to make your path to enlightenment smoother, and by the way, bring you a wave of immortal power.

With the current power of the Left Dao, even if there is no advance in the future, it will live for at least 800 years.

The Tao is difficult to find, and the time, place, and method of appearance are not fixed.

Therefore, if you want to find the Dao seed, it can be said that you can only rely on chance.

As for the way of refining Dao seeds, they were also different, and even Zuo Dao couldn't explain how he refined Dao seeds into his body.

Left Dao looked down, trying to find information that corresponded to the situation in his body.

Eventually, on the last night of paper, a similar situation was found.

Legend has it that 800 years ago, a monk accidentally obtained three Dao seeds, and the Dao seeds disappeared from his body just like he is now.

But I can clearly feel that the Dao seed is still there.

Later, after careful research by this person, it was found that the Tao was originally integrated into its five internal organs and turned into one.

As for the follow-up, there are not many records.

And the paper also says at the end that there is no definition of whether this matter is true or false, and it can also be regarded as a legend.

After reading the information in his hand, Zuo Dao's brows furrowed slightly.

This information was not much different from what he knew, but it was more detailed, and what he wanted was information about whether he could cultivate the Dao or not, but there was no record of it.

It seems to have seen what Zuo Dao was thinking.

Granny Jinhua swallowed the last piece of beef jerky, and then said, "Ten taels of gold, you can get this information from me, it's already lucky." ”

"In other places, let alone ten taels of gold, even if it is a hundred taels of gold, you can't get it."

Zuo Dao sighed, and then the paper in his hand was suddenly shattered.

He asked, "Can there be more details, such as the cultivation of the Dao species?" ”

Granny Jinhua smiled: "Yes! ”

Zuo Dao's eyes lit up instantly, and he said, "Where is it?" ”

Granny Jinhua pointed in the direction of the palace and said, "You have to ask the one who lives long, he knows much more than we know." ”

When Zuo Dao heard this, his face suddenly darkened.

If he could really ask, why did he come to the ghost market, this dead old woman actually dared to laugh at him.

Mother-in-law Jinhua said: "By the way, Kyoto seems to be a little unpeaceful recently, and it is not a good choice for you to return to Beijing at this time." ”

Hearing this, Zuo Dao asked, "What happened in Kyoto?" ”

Granny Jinhua stretched out her hand with a smile and said, "Ten taels of gold." ”

A look of helplessness flashed on the left road, and then he took out ten taels of gold and threw it over.

Mother-in-law Jinhua said with a smile: "Since this national teacher entered the city, three officials have been killed in Kyoto one after another, and even the bones have not been found. ”

"You are all in command, but you are furious because of this, but there is no choice but to put this matter on hold."

"Today, this national teacher has entered Beijing again, and I am afraid that an official will die tonight."

When Zuo Dao heard this, his brows furrowed and said, "You mean, the national teacher and the emperor conspired to eradicate dissidents?" ”

Granny Jinhua hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I didn't say that, it's just your kid's guess." ”

As soon as Zuo Dao wanted to speak, he saw a little guy hiding under the black robe walk up to Granny Jinhua and whisper a few words in her ear.

Mother-in-law Jinhua's expression changed slightly, and then she said, "Another one." ”

Zuo Dao frowned slightly, and said, "Another one, what?" ”

Mother-in-law Jinhua waved her hand and said: "You will know tomorrow, now that you have returned to Kyoto, these days will still stop a little, otherwise I don't know when the province will die in Kyoto." ”

"A generous junior like you, but it's hard to find."

After saying that, he disappeared directly behind the jar.

Hearing this, Zuo Dao's brows furrowed.

Suddenly.

He remembered the words of Granny Jinhua before, and muttered to himself: "It won't be another official who dies, right?" ”

If that's the case, then it's a problem.

Although they are doing the work of supervising hundreds of officials, they will also bring some disobedient officials to prison.

But that was the emperor's order after all.

In Kyoto, there has never been a fatal death of an official.

But Granny Jinhua said that since the national teacher entered Kyoto, this incident has happened three times.

If his guess was accurate, wouldn't another official have died just now?

What does that big centipede want to do?

Is it possible that the national fortune of this Great Wei is not enough for this person to eat?

Zuo Michi walked out of the shop, shuttled through the ghost market, flicked a few tails behind him, and returned to the streets of Kyoto.

Sure that there was no one behind him, he returned to his mansion.

Early the next morning.

Before Zuo Dao went out, he heard the shout of the dynasty outside the door: "My lord, the Beizhen Fusi is in a hurry to go to the lord." ”

Zuo Dao pushed open the door and frowned, "What happened?" ”

Wang Chao's face was a little ugly and said: "It seems that an official in Kyoto died unexpectedly, and the body is missing, leaving only a pool of blood at the scene." ”

Hearing this, the expression on Zuo Dao's face became more and more solemn.

That's true.

He led people all the way to Beizhen Fusi, but this time it was not Zhao Yuan who was looking for him, nor was he a high-level commander.

Instead, they all commanded Cao Xiang.

Cao Xiang sat in the lobby, and a group of brocade guards stood on both sides below, with very solemn expressions on their faces.

Wait until the left road comes.

Cao Xiaocai slowly spoke: "Last night, Lord He Biping disappeared in his own house, leaving only a pool of blood at the scene. ”

Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the brocade guards below became even more ugly.

After all, basically the officials in Kyoto, large and small, have brocade guards secretly supervising.

Especially after the previous incident, Jinyiwei's supervision has increased a little.

originally thought that the demon who shot in secret would not do it again, but he didn't expect that guy to do it again.

Cao Xiao looked at Zuo Dao, who had just entered the lobby, and said, "Zuo Dao, you have been in Youzhou for more than a year before, and you have rich experience in dealing with such cases, so you will be in charge of this case." ”

When Zuo Dao heard this, his face was stunned for a moment, and then he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Humble and respectfully follow the orders of the lord." ”

Cao Xiang opened his mouth and said: "Those brocade guards you brought are still acting under your orders, this matter must not be spread outside, try to suppress the news, do you know?" ”

Zuo Dao nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Cao Xiang glanced at Zuo Dao and said, "Since that's the case, you can go down!" ”
