The sound of the chess pieces falling can be heard.

Shen Ning could sense that Emperor Jing's current mental state was much worse than before, but under his deliberate layout, the chess game went smoothly.

After a long time, Emperor Jing closed his eyes and lay on the sandalwood chair, "I heard from the Tsing Yi Division that a man wearing a grimace mask killed the White Bone Demon, but the spirit element contained in his body is close to the strange aura, do you know who he is?" ”

Shen Ning was extremely shocked in his heart, he didn't know why Emperor Jing had such a question, but he still made the most correct choice in a very short period of time, "Your Majesty, that person is a subordinate." ”

After hearing the desired answer, Emperor Jing nodded with satisfaction, "If you continue to conceal it, even I will doubt your loyalty to the Great Jin." ”

Saying that, Emperor Jing threw a stack of documents in front of Shen Ning, and said lightly: "Take a look for yourself, do you really think that the strangeness in your body has been hidden from many monks in Shenjing City, and you really think that the Taoist monk's trick can hide from me?" ”

"The minister did not hide His Majesty's intentions, but this matter was too complicated, and the minister still did not know the reason, so he did not report it." Shen Ning didn't look through the paperwork, but knelt on the ground and explained.

He knew that his "Vision" had been seen through by the top monks of Shenjing City and sensed the strange aura in his body, maybe the Emperor in front of him even knew the existence of the Netherfire in his body!

Emperor Jing closed his eyes and recuperated, without speaking, just waved his hand and retreated from the inner servants of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The smell of burning incense wood from the incense burner in the corner wafted, and the curling cigarette rose, Shen Ning swallowed his saliva, and only then did he open the paperwork, which read, "On the third day of April, on the streets of Shenjing City, Shen Ning, a disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, was attacked, and when he was dying, the spirit yuan was abnormal, forcing the assassin to retreat, and then Tsing Yi Sizi Fu Lingyue rushed to the ....... ”

"During the Lantern Festival, Shen Ning, a disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, concealed his identity and went to the Jokhang Temple to fight against the cultists of the Evil God Sect, and was in danger several times........ He traveled to the west of the city to slay the Cataclysmic White Bone Demon, and then disappeared. ”

The above items are one by one, and it can be said that everything Shen Ning has done these days is clearly recorded!

In this process, Shen Ning didn't even notice it! There is no doubt that Emperor Jing's control over Shenjing City has reached the point where it is difficult to subvert!

The Heart Cultivation Hall was silent, Shen Ning could even hear his own faint breathing, and his face was serious, "Your Majesty, the ministers are loyal to the Great Jin, and the sun and the moon can be seen." ”

Emperor Jing opened his eyes, looked at Shen Ning, and sighed slightly, "If it weren't for knowing that you were loyal, how could you be interrogated in the Heart Cultivation Hall at this time, instead of being interrogated in the prison of Tsing Yi Division." ”

Emperor Jing's words were from the surface of his trust, but if you think about it, you can know that he is asking Shen Ning to explain the whole story, otherwise what awaits him will be the interrogation of the Tsing Yi Division.

"Your Majesty, the reason why there is a strange aura on the minister's body is because of a secret treasure, this secret treasure makes the minister lose his perception of the spirit element of heaven and earth, but he can rely on devouring the strange family to cultivate." Shen Ning knew that there was no proper explanation for today's affairs, and he couldn't get over it, so he had to showdown: "The retreat of Caojiazhuang Zebuyaks before was because of this secret treasure. ”

"Caojiazhuang...... Demon ...... White Snake. Thinking of the prince's previous report, Emperor Jing muttered, and only after a long time did he slowly say: "This treasure can have an impact on your mind?" ”

Relying on the emperor's intuition, Emperor Jing asked the key to the matter.

Shen Ning had no choice but to answer truthfully: "Your Majesty, with the devouring of the strange dependents, when the minister loses his mind, this secret treasure has the ability to manipulate Wechen's body, but as long as Wechen's divine sense is strong enough, this situation can be avoided." ”

"A disadvantage that can be avoided, and it can devour the gods." Emperor Jing quickly realized that if everything Shen Ning said was true, then there was no doubt that he would be a deterrent in the future!

Although there are still doubts in his heart, Emperor Jing doesn't need to ask anymore, as long as he knows these information, it is enough, so he sighed: "I will order this matter to continue, and no one will mention it again, but your trick still needs to be studied a lot, otherwise if it is detected by the hundred schools of immortals, even I will not be able to go against the wishes of the immortal sects in the world." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, knowing that Emperor Jing's level was over.

But who knew that Emperor Jing waved his hand the next moment and said softly: "Zheng Yang, take him to condense the fire of life." ”

Destiny!

Shen Ning frowned slightly, all cultivators who broke through the Heavenly Xuan Realm in the Great Jin Dynasty would generally report to the Tsing Yi Division to condense the life fire.

The existence of the life fire is equivalent to the second life of the practitioner, and in the battle with the evil demons, if something unexpected happens, the life fire will be extinguished, but the practitioner can be reborn.

Because of its unique role, the resources required for the establishment of the Lifefire are extremely expensive, but for the Great Jin, the cultivators of the Heavenly Xuan Realm are even more precious, and each of them has the possibility of stepping into the realm of the Dao and becoming the master of a certain Dao, so as to better maintain the operation of the world.

But now he is only a spiritual realm cultivator, and he is still two full stages away from the Heavenly Xuan Realm!

Another meaning of Emperor Jing's move emerged, the fire of life can be extinguished by the dragon energy of the current emperor.

If all the established flame is extinguished, the trauma caused to the practitioner is incalculable.

It's self-defense.

However, Shen Ning didn't have a mustard in his heart, because if he was Emperor Jing, he would do the same.

Without him, a person with a strange aura, or a disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, a friend of the prince, and a chess edict in the palace, although such a person has no official position, there is no doubt that he can access some of the secret cores of the Great Jin, if one day Shen Ning is infected by the strange aura.

The fire of life will be an excellent means for the emperor of the current generation to counter him.

Zheng Yang's figure walked out from behind the screen and arched his hand: "The minister obeys the order." ”

"Go ahead." After doing this, Emperor Jing seemed to be very tired, so he actually rested in front of the two courtiers on the Yangmu Zigui bed in the Yangxin Palace.

Zheng Yang and Shen Ning left the Heart Cultivation Palace, and under the leadership of the former, Shen Ning passed through the magnificent palaces and came to a house made of bluestone bricks hidden in the group of halls, which was very ordinary in appearance, and no one would have thought that this was the place where the Great Jin Dynasty stored the life fire of cultivators.

It seems that only Zheng Yang and other top monks know about the storage place of the life fire, the reason why it is not stored in the Tsing Yi Division is that His Majesty is also worried that there will be evil god cultists in the Tsing Yi Division? This thought suddenly popped into Shen Ning's mind, and a cold drink suddenly interrupted his thinking.

"Who?"

Outside the bluestone brick room, there were more than a dozen masked guards, and when they saw Shen Ning and Zheng Yang coming over, they suddenly appeared around the house, and the man at the head was burly, holding a sword in his hand, as if no matter who came, as long as there was the slightest movement, he would raise his sword and cut him.

"Zheng Yang, Tsing Yi Division, on the orders of His Majesty, is here to bring this person to condense the fire of life." Zheng Yang took out a token from his sleeve and handed it over.

After taking the token, the man kept a safe distance from Shen Ning and the others, and then waved his hand at the subordinates beside him, and the rest of the guards took a talisman written in cinnabar and pasted it on Shen Ning and Zheng Yang.

Shen Ning subconsciously looked down at this ordinary talisman, but Zheng Yang said: "I advise you not to touch this talisman, this is the soul talisman written by your master Li Xuanji himself, once it is torn apart, even the old soul will be stripped out of the body and become a walking corpse. ”

"Taught." Shen Ning handed over and walked into the bluestone hut with Zheng Yang.

The room was like an ordinary house, with seats, benches, beds, and coffee tables, Zheng Yang stood in the center of the room, chanting the mantra in his mouth, and white light appeared on the wall, gradually filling the entire wall.

After the two walked in, Shen Ning's eyes went dark and he found himself in the dark.

"Old friend, this road is so dark, I can't find a way to be old." Zheng Yang's shrill voice echoed in the darkness.

A faint dim light appeared in the darkness, and then a lamp lit up on both sides of the wall, and in the dark and deep passage, an old man with a rickety figure and purple skin walked out of the darkness with an oil lamp, and the strong corpse aura exuded by the other party made Shen Ning frown slightly, it was hard to imagine that there were cultivators of the corpse path in the solemn Great Jin Palace.

"His name is Chongyangzi corpse, trusted by the emperors of all generations, and he is the leader of today's corpse road, and he is only one step away from the position of dominator. Zheng Yang said lightly as if he could see through Shen Ning's thoughts.

Chongyang Zi corpse, the skin close to the bones twisted into a smile, and his voice was hoarse, "This little friend looks no more than a hundred years old, as far as I know, except for a few Quartet rankings of the Tsing Yi Division, this should be the only junior who has reached the Tianxuan Realm at such a young age, this generation is really talented." ”

Shen Ning arched his hand and said: "Back to the honor, the kid has not yet reached the crown this year, but he has cultivated in the spiritual realm." ”

When Chongyang Zi Corpse heard this, his face was surprised, and he looked at Zheng Yang with an inquiring gaze.

Zheng Yang had no choice but to explain: "Although he is only a spiritual realm cultivator, he killed a natural calamity-level demon calamity, so Your Majesty made an exception and asked me to bring him to condense the fire of life." ”

"Cataclysmic Demon Plague?" The surprise in Chongyang's eyes turned into surprise!

Using spiritual realm cultivation to kill a catastrophe-level demon calamity is something that has never happened since ancient times!

"In this way, there is also the qualification to condense the fire of life." Chongyangzi calmed down his shocked look and led the two of them towards the tunnel.

After walking about 100 steps, the scene in front of him suddenly opened up, a room full of incense candles appeared in front of the two of them, these incense candles were burning with blue flames, the strange thing is that with the burning of the flames, the incense candles did not melt, this is where the fire of the Great Jin cultivators lies.

"Should we gather a few life flame incense candles for Xiaoyou?" Chongyang Zi Corpse turned to look at Zheng Yang.

Zheng Yang did not hesitate at all, and said bluntly: "Nine roots." ”

Nine? Chongyangzi corpse was slightly stunned, this is the treatment that only the Quartet guards!

It was hard to imagine why the young man in front of him, who had not yet reached the crown, was so highly regarded by His Majesty, but loyal to the royal family, he still took out nine life flame incense candles and placed them on a long row of wooden shelves in order. Looking at Shen Ning, he said slowly: "Xiaoyou, do you know how to condense the fire of life?" ”

"The kid doesn't know, please show me." Shen Ning asked respectfully.

Chongyang Zi Corpse pointed to these candles and said slowly: "The condensation of the fire of life pays attention to a divine consciousness attachment, you try to attach your divine consciousness to the incense candle of the life fire, when the power of the divine consciousness is enough, the incense candle will be automatically ignited without wind and no fire, even if the life fire is condensed, but every time you light the life fire, the consumption of yourself is very great, you are afraid that you still need to accompany the old man and I will stay here for a few days and nights." ”

Shen Ning began to condense his divine consciousness on the life fire incense candle according to what Chongyang Zi Corpse said, but when he pulled his divine sense, the nether fire in his body was actually mixed with a trace of strange aura to pull the life fire incense candle, and before everyone could react, they saw that a life fire incense candle actually burned, unlike other life fire incense candles, it burned a black flame!

Chongyang Zi Corpse frowned when he saw this, he had been in charge of guarding the Zhenguo Magic Weapon and the Life Fire Incense Candle here for hundreds of years, and he had never seen such a situation as it was now.

"Old friend, what's so strange about him?" Chongyang Zi Corpse looked at Zheng Yang, and his words were full of doubts, "His life fire has a strange shape, although it has established a connection with the life fire incense candle, but why can't I see his future fate in his life fire?" ”

"He may be the only hope that our Great Jin has so far had to deal with the gods." Zheng Yang looked at Shen Ning, who was condensing the fire of life, and couldn't help sighing: "It's reasonable to not be able to see his fate clearly, but what I'm concerned about is that if one day the Emperor blows out his fire of life, will it have the same effect as everyone else?" ”

"It's nature." Chongyangzi's corpse head smiled and said: "The life fire incense candle is to let the cultivator put a part of the divine soul on it, and when the cultivator encounters a disaster, the divine soul nourished by the life fire incense candle will let him be resurrected, on the contrary, blowing out the life fire means that his divine soul has been indelible loss, which no one can avoid." ”

Hearing this, Zheng Yang put his mind at ease, it is undeniable that Shen Ning's existence is of great significance to Dajin.

But if he is out of control and may bring more harm, Zheng Yang will not hesitate to deal with him, at least for now, there is no need for this.

In the short conversation between the two people, Shen Ning had actually condensed the second life flame incense candle.

......

Shenjing City.

After dealing with the demon troubles hidden in Shenjing City, Li Yanzheng returned to the Tsing Yi Division.

"Subordinate, I've seen Lord Si Zheng."

"Hmm."

"Yes, Lord Sizheng."

"Hmm."

Li Yanzheng walked on the road, and when he met his subordinates, they would greet him, or nod or respond softly.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to life.

on this.

Li Yanzheng is used to it.

Because this is the Tsing Yi Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of the Great Jin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and suppress evil spirits, and it is reasonable for the atmosphere to be depressed.

Arguably.

Everyone in the Tsing Yi Division has a lot of demon blood on their hands, of course, including ordinary people, because all the unstable factors for the Great Jin can be exorcized.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

The Tsing Yi Division is very large, and those who can stay here are either the talents cultivated by Dajin since childhood, or the outstanding loose cultivators who have been summoned from all over the world.

Li Yanzheng belonged to the former, and it was the emperor who personally brought him back when he inspected the Eastern Wilderness, so that he was far away from the cannibalistic purgatory.

Anyone who enters the Tsing Yi Division starts from the lowest level of the record officer, who is responsible for dealing with some demon cases sent from all over the country, classifying and summarizing them, and when they reach the realm of asking questions, as a record officer, they can go to all parts of the Great Jin Dynasty to rate the local demon troubles, assess the local immortal sect hundred schools, and transmit all the information back to the headquarters of the Tsing Yi Division by special means, or the local branch.

The strength is further improved, and when you reach the Chaoxia Realm, you can apply to the above to deal with the D-level demon disaster alone.

After success, you can get rid of the cumbersome paperwork and turn to the high-level metathaumaturgical method to become a star.

After that, there are the stars, the star officials, the deputy chiefs, and the priests.

Li Yanzheng came over step by step in this way.

Coming to this point can be regarded as the apex of the Tsing Yi Division.

As for the Quartet Guardian, there are extremely harsh conditions for talent, and most of them are selected from all over the world to be able to fit the exercises inherited by the Quartet Guardian as substitutes for training, but unfortunately although he has good talent, but it is not in line with the cultivation of the Quartet Guardian, so there is no way to take this path.

However, Tsing Yi Si Si Zheng can be regarded as a minister, and he has nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Having lived in the Tsing Yi Division all his life, Li Yanzheng is very familiar with the environment here.

It didn't take long for him to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike the place where Tsing Yi Sika is full of slaughter, the attic here is hidden by dense woods, and in the bloody Tsing Yi Si, it presents a different tranquility.

This is the residence given to him by Emperor Jing.

Li Yanzheng entered the attic.

The tranquil environment changed in vain.

The ink fragrance was mixed with a faint smell of blood, like Li Yanzheng, who was already used to it, took off the sword at his waist and began to take off the clothes on his body.

There is a bronze mirror in the corner of the wall, and under the illumination of the bronze mirror, Li Yanzheng's back is scarred, which is left by him when dealing with demons over the years, and it is also a testimony of his merits.

But when Li Yanzheng turned around, he saw countless pairs of scarlet eyes in his abdomen densely squeezed together, twisting and turning, looking like a huge sarcoma.

When I took off my clothes, I heard a strange murmur in my ears ((jubafikawfygygihuj) (bastard responds to me, you dare to speak to the great Lord Fatan. Kolga ignored it! ）”

Li Yanzheng was a little upset and applied medicine to the old wounds on his body, looking at the monster attached to him in the bronze mirror, a nameless anger suddenly welled up in his heart, he took out the short sword hidden in his boots, and directly stabbed a few eyeballs, and the blood mixed with the white thick slurry shot everywhere.

With a piercing roar, Li Yanzheng felt a lot quieter in his ears.

But it didn't take long for the pierced eyeballs to grow back out of his body, but compared to the previous unruliness, the voice at this moment was actually much gentler, "ihofpwajdndaifaijwi (Do you want me to leave your body?) ”

As soon as the monster opened his mouth, it hit Li Yanzheng's greatest expectation.

The attic was silent, and without Li Yanzheng's permission, the officials of the Tsing Yi Division could not enter this attic under any circumstances, and after a long time, he asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"I want you to help me kill someone, as long as I kill him, I will no longer choose you as my host, it is easy for you to kill this person." The monster let out a strange laugh and continued to bewitch: "No one will know that the dignified Tsing Yi Si Zheng actually coexists with his most despicable god dependents. ”

At this point, another sharp sword pierced several eyeballs, and a piercing scream sounded in the depths of the soul, and the family of the deceitful gods was obviously harmed by Li Yanzheng.

Killing the relatives of the gods again and again, Li Yanzheng will also endure severe pain, and the strong pain makes fine beads of sweat appear on his forehead.

"Bastard, how dare you, when my lord comes to this world, he will enslave you as the lowest existence."

"Ahh

It was the cry of pain as the gods died.

Something like this seems to have happened many times.

I don't know how long it took, Li Yanzheng lay on the bed exhausted, with a pair of empty eyes.

The eyeballs that have been pierced countless times are bloodshot, and it has obviously come to the edge of going berserk, and it is actually secretly regretting how it chose such a guy to live in symbiosis in the first place, and it has not assimilated him for more than ten years, it is simply the first time it has suffered a great shame since it invaded so many small worlds!

"Who do you want to kill?" Li Yanzheng's voice was not mixed with a trace of emotion, and now he seemed to be a corpse, and he had long lost his soul.

Hearing Li Yan's compromise, his eyes gurgled and he thought for a while before he said: "After the family members of the Lord in Yellow were killed by the Human Emperor of this world, it sent a very important message to me, that is, in this small world, there is actually an existence that can pose a threat to us in addition to the power of the dynasty, and that is a person wearing a grimace mask. ”

"Someone in a mask?"

"That's right." The eyeball monster smiled: "Although I don't know who he is, but there is also a strange aura on him, I suspect that he may be supporting the traitors in our world, as long as I approach him and kill him, let me devour the traitors, I will be able to survive on my own, and I will no longer have to attach myself to you." ”

"Okay, I promise you."
