Chapter 340: Old Friends, Strange Paths
All in all, these days, the capital is quite chaotic.
In other words, since more than half a year ago, the originally calm Daxia Capital began to provoke people's nerves from time to time.
At the beginning, it was only a few eunuchs who died and a few officials who died.
It's shocking, but that's all.
But lately, something has really not been quite right.
This person is dying, and he has already begun to die as a court member at the level of Shangshu, and even the prince says that he will die.
But this is not a big deal, but it's okay, after all, it can't shake the foundation of Great Xia.
But just when everyone thought that the torrent of time was still rolling as always.
Hey!
Wen Sheng's successor is dead!
And then before anyone could react.
The national teacher is dead!
Not only is the national teacher dead!
The stargazing tower has also collapsed!
Now there are three saints and one emperor in Great Xia, and in the blink of an eye, there is only one saint and one emperor left.
If the overseas evil cultivator who invaded Great Xia was still there, I am afraid that he would be so angry that his brain would be bruised.
- Even if we come a year and a half late, this great summer is not a chopping board fish?
At the same time, the court also seems to be not very peaceful.
Although I don't know what happened, anyway, the people in the imperial envoy have been going crazy recently, walking through the streets and alleys one by one, entering and exiting the mansions of various officials, and every day there are once high-ranking officials and nobles who are put in shackles and knocked down to the dust.
Not only that, but apart from the capital, it seems that there is no peace in all parts of the city.
I often hear terrible explosions coming from nowhere, crackling.
β¦β¦
It was as if in an instant, those undercurrents were surging.
It seems to push the giant ship of Great Xia into an unknowable and distant direction.
No return to the mausoleum.
Yu Chen received two messages from Song Xiang in succession.
For the first time, it was the suspicious guess of Kansai Shenjun Hongling.
The second time is the possibility that Emperor Qiyuan was manipulated.
There are not many words, and they are just talking about things, and they don't mention anything else.
But Yu Chen had a faint feeling.
- Big, coming.
The long-lost sense of urgency whipped him like a whip, making him immersed in his cultivation all day long, not daring to slack off.
After all, what he was going to face next was a queen Qi who had attained the perfection of the fourth realm.
Even if Song helped each other, he didn't dare to be careless and sloppy.
And between penances, his realm has also broken through the top grade of the god and reached a higher level.
Continue to hit the gods to perfection!
As for the wishes of the deceased, they are all short things in some parents, and when they let the stone send Qinghuan down the mountain to and from school, they will be dealt with by the way.
Until today.
After sending Qinghuan to school, he returned to the tomb of no return, and when he saw Yu Chen, he chattered.
It was said that Zhan Tiansi had an accident, and I heard that the Nan Shenjun didn't know what to do, and he wanted to destroy the land veins of Wanfa Mountain, one of the three mountains and nine veins, and was finally killed by the remaining alchemists of Zhan Tiansi.
But despite this, the stargazing tower, which symbolizes the Celestial Division, still collapsed.
Yu Chen was not too surprised by this.
- The palace can collapse, why can't your stargazing tower collapse?
What really made him frown was the rumored Nanshenjun.
The twelve or thirteen-year-old Divine Monarch who looked like a boy was one of the few alchemists who had a good impression on Yu Chen in the Zhantian Division.
That man is upright, but not as stupid and loyal as those brainless guys, judging the situation and having his own name in his heart.
Such a person, you say that he assassinated Emperor Qiyuan, Yu Chen will not be surprised.
But you say that he wants to destroy one of the three mountain leylines and make all the people in the world suffer with it, then Yu Chen is ten thousand unbelievers.
However, everyone is dead, and it's useless to talk too much.
Only sighs remain.
Yu Chen sighed, thinking that this was probably the ghost of Empress Qi again.
At this moment, a shout interrupted his train of thought.
"Brothers, it's almost there! Keep it up! Tonight, please drink flower wine! β
"Hey-ah!"
"Hey-ah!"
ββ¦β¦β
Such encouragement and reinforcement echoed at the gate of the Mausoleum of No Return.
More than 20 officials dragged a huge bucket cart with a body separated from the body and head in the bucket cart and went up the mountain.
"Fuck! These immortal masters who occupy the heavens are really heavy! We used to hear that the body of the alchemist is heavier than ordinary people like us, but we still don't believe it, we are all human beings anyway, one nose and two eyes, how heavy can it be?
But now, we have to believe it - do you say that these immortal masters who occupy the heavens grew up eating iron scales? A man is about to top a cow! Someone complained.
"Shut up, you! Aren't tired enough? I've been talking all the way, I've heard you say this three hundred times! "Someone scolded him.
"I really admire you for having the strength to speak." Someone ridiculed.
ββ¦β¦β
Before the person arrived, the sound had arrived.
Yu Chen frowned when he heard this.
When the acquaintances saw Yu Chen, they wiped their sweat and licked their faces to beg for two glasses of water to drink, and then they were digging a pit and talking to him endlessly.
"Brother Yu, it's a big job today!"
"You don't know, these corpses are all the old men of the Zhantian Division!"
"Oh! Tell me what happened! β
"That doesn't seem to be true!"
"It's a disaster that has not been justified!"
"By the way, let's tell you, they are all the people of Nanshenjun who have been in a uproar recently, do you understand?"
"You also know that in our world, even if people sit at home, the black cauldron can be smashed down from the sky!"
"If they want to blame, they can only blame the Southern Shenjun, they have nothing to do, they have to destroy the leylines, now it's okay, Zhulian is surrounded by people, I heard that none of them ran away, and they were all cut off their heads!"
ββ¦β¦β
In the gossip of the officials, Yu Chen gradually understood.
This is not complicated, but it is just that the people of the Southern Shenjun family were implicated by him.
- You don't care if he was wronged or not, anyway, this crime is on the ground.
Half an hour later, all the corpses were buried.
Some officials are still sighing, saying that the Southern Shenjun must have been crazy to destroy the leylines, which led to his own death, not to mention, and also involved so many alchemists who occupied the Heavenly Division.
But what they don't know is.
Right on them, a ghost holding his own head was scolding!
"You're the sinners!"
"Your whole family is sinners!"
"Even if the teacher dies, even if he jumps from the stargazing tower, it is impossible to destroy the leylines!"
"The teacher must have been wronged! You bunch rammers! β
ββ¦β¦β
It's a pity that no one can hear him except Yu Chen.
After a long time, Yu Chen sighed, "Zhang Zijian, save it, people and ghosts have different paths, life and death are separated, and you can't hear it." β
- Yes, this one who keeps scolding is none other than Zhang Zhifan!
That Nanshenjun's apprentice, the Zhantian Si Zijian who had a few encounters with Yu Chen.
The last time we met, it was when the eldest prince pretended to be a rebel and met in the Taiyin Mountains.
I didn't expect goodbye, it's already yin and yang.
- He's dead, and now he's just a ghost.
Listening to Yu Chen's words, Zhang Zhifan was stunned, turned his head, and looked at Yu Chen.
It feels familiar.
"Oh! It's you! I have seen you once in the case of the death of Wailang, a member of the ministry! β
He exclaimed!
Yu Chen was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that this young man has a really good memory.
Yes, in the case of the murder of the scum who killed the wife of the dregs for the sake of fame, Zhang Zhifan did go to the Mausoleum of No Return, and asked Yu Chen as usual.
"That's not right!"
"Can you see me?"
Suddenly, as if he had reacted to something, the ghost of Zhang Zhifan, who was holding his own head, was shocked!
Obviously, as an alchemist of the Spirit Realm, even if he died, Zhang Zhifan maintained his sanity.
He knew that this was a ghost at this point.
He also knew that those officials could not hear his words at all, nor could they see his soul.
The angry scolding just now was just an outrage.
But what he didn't expect was that this mausoleum keeper would be able to see ghosts?
"Can you put that thing up first, weird." Yu Chen pointed to the head that Zhang Zhifan was holding in his hand.
Zhang Zhifan didn't have time to say this, and his expression suddenly changed: "That's right! Brother Shouling! Now that you can see me! I'll ask you something!
My teacher, Nan Shenjun, it is absolutely impossible to destroy the leylines! There is absolutely no way to do such a thing!
And I can be sure that his old man is not dead by this time! As long as you find him, everything will be revealed!
If you can, please help me find him! β
Zhang Zhifan looked excited and spoke to himself.
But as he spoke, his expression suddenly fell and his tone became depressed.
"That's it...... You're just a mausoleum keeper even if you stand up to the sky......"
"You still don't say it, otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to put your life into it in the end......"
"Although those guys in Zhan Tiansi are bastards, they are really powerful, and you can't be an opponent at all."
"That's it, that's it, that's it!"
Yu Chen was stunned when he heard this.
- This man...... Oh no, this ghost is weird, I'm thinking about myself now.
So, he waved his hand and said, "Okay." β
Zhang Zhifan sighed, "It's okay, this matter is too risky, whoever is afraid of it will refuse, I will never complain...... Wait a minute! What do you say? β
"I said, okay." Yu Chen looked at him.
The head in Zhang Zhifan's hand suddenly widened, "You...... Are you serious? But...... Never mind...... You can't do it...... Maybe you might even take your life. If you really care, it's enough to sneak out the news......"
"Zhang Zijian, you are a little wrong."
Yu Chen interrupted him, shook his head and said, "We haven't met more than once. β
Zhang Zhifan was stunned, as if he was at a loss.
"We've met a lot."
"On the Luoshui Splash Boat, in the Fox Demon Cave, under the Taiyin Mountain Range, ......"
As he reported his names one by one, Zhang Zhifan's face stiffened.
He did remember those places, but he had never seen the grave keeper in front of him at any time.
Yu Chen looked at him and didn't say more, but the pitch-black color grew out of his flesh and blood.
In the blink of an eye, black and white drama robes, angry eyes, faces.
"βremember?"
Bang!
Gollum!
Zhang Zhifan's whole ghost was like a lightning strike, his head was not held steady, and he fell to the ground with a bang, and rolled around a few times.
Frightened.
