"It's not a big deal to help you receive the reward for the martial arts examination. Our Iron Crown Sect has been entrenched in Langya County for hundreds of years, and we can also have a relationship with the imperial court. If you're worried about this, don't worry. Elder Torture and I can do it. ”

Elder Zhang said. The sect is the sect, Yang Ji is Yang Ji, Yang Xuanlan can refute Yang Ji, but it is unlikely that he will deprive the Iron Crown Sect of face because of this trivial matter.

After a pause, Elder Zhang continued:

"However, you and this new general Langya are of the same clan and clan, some kind of Cheng dù, this is actually an internal matter of your clan, but we are not very easy to interfere ......"

"The disciple understands that the disciple will handle this matter by himself. ”

Yang Ji bowed and said. He was just worried that he would not be able to receive the rich reward of the martial arts examination, but as for Yang Xuanlan, he was not very worried.

Things are different now.

It was not so easy for Yang Xuanlan to suppress him like before.

"That's good. ”

Second Elder Zhang nodded slightly.

It was really a sigh that an outstanding disciple like Yang Ji would encounter a fierce rival like Yang Xuanlan.

Yang Ji's talent is indeed amazing, but that Yang Xuanlan is even more amazing.

In addition to the name of General Langya, he also took the name of Chaoyang Horse of Taiyuan Mansion. The Iron Crown faction has a big business, but it has to be a little jealous.

"That's right, Elder. When the disciple returned, he encountered many evil spirits from the underworld. Near Tieguan Mountain, there are also senior brothers from this sect who are encircling and suppressing, and they are almost in danger, what is going on?"

Yang Ji asked about the biggest doubt along the way.

The appearance of underworld creatures on the eastern frontier is definitely a big deal. Yang Ji can be sure that something else has happened during this time.

"What about it...... , you came back just right. The sect is now short of manpower, after you take a break. Regain your energy, and go and help the sect clean up those demons in the underworld nearby. ”

Hearing Yang Ji ask about this matter, Xing and Zhang did not hide it.

In fact, the two of them were also worried about this matter during this time. The creatures of the underworld have all invaded the area around the Iron Crown Mountain, and in this case, the Iron Crown Sect is obviously the most affected.

"Remember the last time you participated in the Imperial Decree mission. At that time, two people died in Wanfenling, and later I went to investigate, and these two people were indeed evil ghosts who died in the underworld. ”

Elder Zhang said a shocking news, it turned out that the invasion of the creatures of the underworld was much earlier than Yang Ji knew.

"However, at that time, there were not many evil spirits in Ten Thousand Tombs. Scattered and scattered, not enough to be a problem. But this time back you also saw it. There are as many as five demons you will encounter around Ironcrown Mountain alone. And that's not even counting what others have encountered. ”

"You should know how many of these demons there are now. It's just that we're worried that it's not that yet. ”

"The further northwest you go. The more creatures in the underworld. What you see now is nothing more than escaping and escaping. What I'm worried about now is that I don't know how many underworld creatures there are in the Ten Thousand Graves. ”

"It's useless to just clear out the evil spirits around Iron Crown Mountain, we have to solve the problem of Ten Thousand Graves. You, Elder Qiu, have gone to investigate now. ”

......

Elder Zhang, every word you say to me, you are worried about this matter. The Iron Crown Sect is the closest to Ten Thousand Graves.

These demons broke out, and the Iron Crown Sect was the most in danger. If you don't get it right, it's possible that the entire sect will be destroyed by the creatures of the underworld.

Yang Ji was silent, of course he also knew the location of the Iron Crown Sect, there was no doubt about it. The current situation of the Iron Crown faction is not optimistic.

"But Elder, hasn't there never been a creature from the underworld in Ten Thousand Tombs Ridge before, how could such a thing suddenly happen this time?"

Yang Ji raised his head. Wondered.

"How do you know, now you can only be sure of one thing, the yin qi in Wanfenling is too strong, and now it must be communicating with an underworld yellow spring, otherwise, it is impossible for these underworld creatures to cross over. ”

Elder Zhang smiled wryly. After a pause, he said:

"As for saying that there have been no ghosts in the underworld before, it's not necessarily true. About more than ten years ago, there should have been such a thing in the entire Langya County. ”

“！！！”

Suddenly, Yang Ji's eyes jumped wildly, and an electric light flashed in his mind. I vaguely thought of something, but it disappeared too quickly, and I couldn't catch it for a while.

"Elder, why have I never heard of such a thing?"

Yang Ji was shocked.

He was born and raised in Langya County, but he was unremarkably impressed by what the two Iron Crown Sect elders said?

"Hehe, there's nothing strange about that. How old were you more than 10 years ago? Moreover, this matter was already blocked from the news, and not many people knew about it. ”

Elder Xing laughed, unimpressed by Yang Ji's shock. There are too many secrets in the world, unless you reach that level and realm, there are really many people you don't know.

"We don't know much about what happened back then. I only knew that the whole matter was handled by an extremely powerful general of the imperial court. The appearance of underworld creatures in the Great Han Dynasty is no small matter. Back then, our Iron Crown Sect was also preparing to go to aid Korea. As a result, before we went, the matter was resolved satisfactorily. ”

Seeing that Yang Ji seemed to be particularly interested, Elder Zhang also concealed it and said it all. For the Iron Crown Sect, the incident came and went quickly, so it didn't take much weight in the memory.

Yang Ji frowned and was silent in thought.

"By the way, it seems that this matter has something to do with you. ”

Elder Zhang frowned and paused, as if he suddenly remembered something:

"Back then, the underworld creatures broke out and appeared on the eastern border, and the location of the accident seems to be near Pingchuan City, where you took the children's life test. ”

"Hirakawa Castle?!"

Boom! Like a thunderbolt slashing on his body, Yang Ji shook violently, and his heart turned over with thousands of waves, even if Yang Xuanlan appeared in front of him now, Yang Ji would not feel more shocked than this.

"How is that possible?"

Yang Ji couldn't believe it.

It's easy to say if it happened in other places, but it's unbelievable that I've lived there for more than ten years in "Pingchuan City", where I have lived for more than ten years, without any news or impression!

For the first time. Yang Ji felt a hint of confusion.

How is this possible, is it because I was only six or seven years old at the time? But why didn't anyone else seem to be impressed?

Pingchuan City, the outbreak of underworld creatures, more than ten years ago, more than ten years ago...... More than 10 years ago?!

Yang Ji's heart jumped, and he finally understood what he had just thought.

"More than 10 years ago? Wasn't that the time when the earthquake happened! Isn't the archive that the Evil Prince is looking for more than 10 years ago......?"

The wind howled in Yang Ji's heart. Ups and downs. All the clues came together, and he suddenly understood something.

There was an outbreak of underworld creatures at such a close distance, and no matter how young he was, it was impossible for him not to know the slightest bit of news.

But what about the big earthquakes?

Such a big thing, and it is so close to the city, it is impossible not to be damaged. But if it is said to be a major earthquake, then all the dead and injured are explained.

With the strength of the imperial court, this is completely done!

"Could it be that the great earthquake of that year was not a great earthquake at all, but an outbreak of creatures from the underworld?

Yang Ji's heart fluctuated one after another.

This is a very likely possible truth. It made Yang Ji feel an indescribable feeling in his heart. Covering up the outbreak of creatures in the underworld with a great earthquake, and then blocking news with the army to block contacts is something that the imperial court is fully capable of doing.

This feeling that the "truth" that was previously accepted has been completely subverted is difficult to accept. But Yang Ji knew that it was absolutely impossible for people of the level of Elder Zhang and Elder Criminal to lie.

"Unexpectedly, it turns out that this is the truth......

Yang Ji smiled bitterly in his heart. The outbreak of underworld creatures is no small matter. It's no wonder that the imperial court will block the news, and the evil prince has spent so much effort not finding it.

I think of the evil prince. Yang Ji's face changed slightly, and he suddenly remembered something.

"Elder Zhang, may I ask the imperial court general who handled this matter back then, do you know what his name is?"

Yang Ji raised his head and said hurriedly.

"Well, that's not clear ....... He is the imperial court system. It's not quite the same as us. Moreover, things were handled too quickly back then. So much so that before we could figure out the news, the matter was over. Afterwards, the general seemed to be promoted and reused. was transferred. ”

Elder Zhang looked thoughtful, pondered for a moment, and then said, strangely:

"What, Yang Ji, does that general of the imperial court have anything to do with you?"

Yang Ji shook his head and frowned.

This time in Langya City, during the Battle of Long Street, Yang Du, who had mentioned his father by the evil prince, was also involved.

Yang Ji originally guessed whether the general of the imperial court would be his father Yang Du, or even if it wasn't, he could ask something from the mouths of the two elders.

Unexpectedly, the two elders didn't know anything.

"I seem to know a little bit about the general. ”

The Elder of Punishment on the side said suddenly, with a contemplative look in his eyes, as if he was trying to recall:

"I don't know the name, but I seem to remember a little bit of his nickname, like the name is ...... There is a 'fox' word ......"

"Isn't it Zhihu?"

Yang Ji blurted out.

"Yes, Zhihu, it's Zhihu...... How do you know!"

Elder Xing looked at Yang Ji and said with a surprised expression.

More than ten years ago, Yang Ji should have been just a child. Moreover, the young general of that imperial court had also been transferred, and it was difficult for Elder Xing to understand how Yang Ji could know?

Yang Ji had mixed feelings in his heart.

It turned out that the great earthquake of that year was the outbreak of creatures in the underworld, and it was his father Yang Du who dealt with this matter, and even the two elders of Xing and Zhang admired him, saying that he was a very powerful and strong man.

For the first time, Yang Ji found that he didn't know anything about his father except that he was "an official in the imperial court". For a moment, a faint bitterness diffused in his mouth. (To be continued......)
