In an inn in the north of Changwu City, it was surprisingly quiet at the moment.

Chen Mingye glanced at the empty hall, and then looked at the sleepy bookkeeper at the counter, and the shopkeeper who was leaning on the pillar in a daze, and was a little frightened for a while.

I don't know when the sound of the piano stopped, Chen Mingye raised his hand to drink the residual wine in the cup, and looked at the old man opposite: "Senior, what kind of piano sound is this?"

"It's nothing, it's just a song of pure heart, but it's a little dull. The old man squinted slightly and plucked out his ears.

Chen Mingye smiled helplessly, turned his head to look at the sleeping Xiaohong, and said, "Senior, you drink slowly first, and I'll send this girl up to rest." ”

"Go, go, go. The old man waved his hand impatiently.

Chen Mingye picked up Xiaohong and went upstairs step by step. The old man lightly clasped the table with his fingers, one by one, as if there was nothing.

Chen Mingye pushed open the door and gently hugged Xiaohong to the bed, the little girl was still asleep with a relieved face, and turned over comfortably by the way.

Chen Mingye looked at her delicate appearance with some amusement, and sat down on a chair in the room, but his brows were slightly furrowed.

He sat for a moment, raised his eyes to look at Xiaohong, but suddenly heard a knock on the door with a "knock knock".

He got up to open the door, and sure enough, he saw the old man's face.

"Senior, have you also come up to rest?" Chen Mingye smiled at the old man.

Today's old man changed into a coarse cloth robe, and the heavy armor was put away by him.

"Rest a fart, you're going to sleep just after dark?" the old man squinted at him, "Are you going to sneak out by yourself while we're all asleep?"

The senior laughed. Chen Mingye shook his head, "I have to hurry tomorrow morning, so how can I have any fun and leisure." ”

"Pull it down," the old man sneered, "you stinky boy is just going to eat alone, on the surface it is high-sounding, but behind the scenes it is another set, just this little trick, don't try to deceive the old man." ”

Chen Mingye was speechless, and after a moment, he had to say helplessly: "What exactly does the senior want to say?"

The old man stared at him stunned, until he was a little hairy, and then he smiled and said, "Let's go out for a walk?"

Chen Mingye opened his mouth, but he didn't spit out a word, hesitated slightly, and then nodded.

"Let's go, maybe the old man is happy, and he may be able to teach you a trick and a half. When the old man saw him nodding, his gaze seemed to be harmonious.

Chen Mingye nodded: "Thank you seniors." ”

"Thank you too early," the old man pouted, "Forget it, it depends on the old man's mood." ”

Chen Mingye turned around to help Xiaohong cover the cup, and then turned around and closed the door lightly, and then stood still and looked at the old man.

The old man laughed: "You kid seems to be quite good at taking care of people." ”

The senior laughed. Chen Mingye responded, "Where do you want to go, but just say it." ”

"Hmph," the old man glanced at him unhappily, "Graceful, all the people in the city have gone to that Miao Yuxuan, so you have to pretend to be a gentleman?"

Chen Mingye smiled bitterly, if it was said that in the early years, such a beautiful woman in such a Fengyue place, I am afraid that he was also in a hurry to go, but now, he has long lost those thoughts.

"Let's go," said the old man, who walked out first.

Chen Mingye followed at will, and it was expected that the old man pulled himself up most likely to find someone to follow and pay.

The two of them did not talk to each other along the way, except for the inn. The inn is located in the north of the city, and the old man walks in front, and the road he leads is to the east of the city.

"Boy, do you have enough silver?" the old man glanced back at him.

Chen Mingye replied with a wry smile: "Senior, just rest assured." ”

"Don't worry?" the old man chuckled and looked at him deeply, "You kid seems to have a really big heart. ”

"The kid is stupid and doesn't understand what his predecessors mean. Chen Mingye replied without humility or arrogance.

"That's it, it's not interesting to talk to you. The old man smiled, "If you let your grandfather come and talk to me, it will be a bit of a conversation." ”

"Don't be joking, seniors. Chen Mingye's face was calm and his tone was indifferent.

"Hmph, joking?" the old man glanced at him, and suddenly spoke again, "There are 1,200 god seats in the center of this Changwu City, which are specially used to worship and worship the gods of heaven and earth, and surpass the undead here, aren't you afraid?"

"What am I afraid of?" Chen Mingye was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"In the Spring and Autumn War, Haoming went south to attack Southern Chu, and the decisive battle was fought in Changwu City, ten thousand armies competed, and there were countless casualties. The old man looked at him with a smirk.

"I know what my predecessors are saying to me. Chen Mingye said lightly.

"Oh, I remember the boss of the broken city, but his surname is Chen, aren't you afraid that this undead soul will come to you for trouble?" the old man smiled.

Chen Mingye's eyes flashed slightly, and he only teased the old man on a whim: "The seniors said that they were laughing, although I am also surnamed Chen, but I have nothing to do with the famous Duke of Qiguo." ”

On this trip, he changed his name and changed his name, and they were all acquaintances in the name of Chen Ye, so it was not surprising that the old man said this.

"I'll just say, what are you anxious about. The old man smiled and shook his head slightly, "The moon is dark and the wind is high, the city is as quiet as a dead city, and the autumn wind is still so cold, it's really a little scary." ”

Chen Mingye smiled: "Seniors, don't scare me." ”

"You think I'm joking?" the old man gave him a strange look, "Do you really think those jars are for decoration?"

Chen Mingye looked at the old man and said lightly: "Although there are ghosts and gods in the world, but I have a long sword in my hand, even if the ghosts and gods do?"

"Heh, you're not bad at pretending," the old man glanced at him and spread his hands, "Bored, let's go." ”

Chen Mingye smiled and quickly followed.

They were going from the north of the city to the east of the city, I don't know if the old man did it deliberately, the two of them walked to the vicinity of the Luo Tian Dajiao Dojo in the city.

Chen Mingye raised his eyes and looked, the lights were brilliant, all night long, the high altars were lined up, and the Taoists in Taoist robes were bowing their heads and reciting the Taoist scriptures.

He suddenly felt that his body seemed to tremble slightly in the dantian, and it seemed that there was a strange movement brewing.

The old man glanced back at him, his gaze indifferent.

"Senior ......" Chen Mingye felt bad and subconsciously wanted to speak, but the old man stepped to his side in one step, his eyes slightly condensed.

"Be careful!"

Chen Mingye frowned slightly, and was about to suppress the inexplicable commotion in his body, but he only heard a loud shout suddenly sounding from a high altar not far away. He looked up, but saw a Taoist holding the dust in his hand, chanting words in front of the altar, looking extremely nervous, as if he was suppressing something.

But in the next moment, the entire Luo Tian Dajiao seemed to have been affected by an inexplicable impact, and thousands of divine positions were shaking at the same time in an instant, and even the candle flame with Changming was swaying, almost extinguished.

The Taoists who were originally just sitting with their eyes closed suddenly stood up in unison, dipping their hands in talismans, and their expressions were solemn.

"Where are the ghosts so presumptuous!" a yellow-robed Taoist slowly walked out from a high platform and shouted into the emptiness.

Suddenly there was a demonic wind blowing on the windless night.

The yellow-robed Daoist's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Formation!"

For a while, almost all the Daoists formed a seal at the same time, shooting out towards the sky, and at the same time, in the deep sky, a golden talisman light shield was formed within the entire Luo Tian Dajiao.

The yellow-robed Taoist did not slack off at all, took out a talisman in his hand, quickly used cinnabar to scribble and write on it, and then threw it into the sky.

"Rise!"

As a result, the golden light mask became condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just a few breaths, it covered the entire range of Luo Tian Dajiao.

"Is this a Taoist magic circle?" the old man squinted and smiled faintly, "It's a bit interesting." ”

Chen Mingye knew that Qingxuan Mountain also had disciples who specialized in the study of talismans, but after all, they were in the minority, and there were more qi cultivation and spiritual cultivation, and talismans only played an auxiliary role. But in the mortal Taoist temple, the talisman is an extremely practical means.

"This should be the Heavenly Master Array, specializing in defeating evil people, with such a Luo Tian Dajiao enshrined in thousands of gods, combined with such a magic circle, no matter what kind of demons, there should be no room to escape. Chen Mingye glanced at it and immediately revealed the truth in it.

"Are you sure?" the old man smiled noncommittally and turned to look at him.

"What do you mean by senior?" Chen Mingye's heart suddenly jumped slightly, and he only felt that the abnormal movements in Qicai's body did not stop at all, but had a tendency to become more and more rapid.

"You've already felt it when you think about it. The old man looked at him and smiled mysteriously.

"Senior?" Chen Mingye was alarmed, and without hesitation, he took a step back suddenly, wanting to distance himself from the old man.

The old man was standing beside him, but his movements were one step ahead of him, and he didn't give him room to react at all, and suddenly reached out and put his hand on his wrist.

Chen Ming was frightened at night, and was about to make a move, but he didn't expect the old man to withdraw his hand very quickly.

"Looks like I'm not mistaken. The old man sighed slightly.

"Senior, what do you mean?" Looking at the bright array in front of him, Chen Mingye only felt that the movement in the depths of the dantian was so big that it could not be ignored.

"Don't worry, the old man didn't want to harm you, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to stand here a long time ago. The old man glanced at him angrily, reached out and plucked his ears, "It's good for you to look inward and look at the dantian yourself." ”

When Chen Mingye heard this, he glanced at the old man deeply, and after all, he quietly took a step back, and then he was slightly distracted, sank into the dantian, and scanned the situation in his body.

The tide of spiritual power is still surging with the autonomous operation of the Xuanting Sutra, and above the mighty spiritual power river, the towering mountain wall is still standing, but the chains that are deep into the mountain wall are constantly trembling.

Chen Mingye looked up in some shock, but saw that the giant sword that was sealed and suspended in the air was actually trembling violently, as if he wanted to forcibly get rid of the seal.

The remaining four chains were firmly locked to the sword body, and Rao was like this, and the reverberations of the continuous trembling and collision of the iron chains were still transmitted throughout the dantian.

Chen Mingye came back to his senses, looked at the old man, and there was a complicated look in his eyes: "Senior, what is the situation?"

"What else can it be, that sword qi of yours is excited. The old man pursed his lips and glanced at him, "I don't understand anything, it's really a stinky boy with shit luck." ”

Chen Mingye's eyes were confused, and he turned to the old man and bowed his hand slightly: "Please also ask the seniors for some advice." ”

"It's okay to point, but you'll have to answer my question all over again. The old man stared at him and said.

"Question?" Chen Mingye was stunned.

"Is your grandfather the Duke of Qi?" the old man asked bluntly, not bothering to go around with him.

Chen Ming was stunned when he boarded the night. Who is this old man who doesn't know his name and surname at all?

"Yes. Chen Mingye looked at the old man silently for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Heh," the old man glanced at him, and said with a smile, "then speaking of which, you stinky boy is really half my junior." ”

Chen Mingye was confused.

"Well, we'll talk about that later, let's talk about the current situation first. The old man looked at him with a strange smile, "Do you know what that sword qi in your body is?"

Chen Mingye shook his head slowly, the sword qi came from the ancestral sword, but if he really said what it was, he couldn't tell.

"Chen said that following Haoming Taizu to sweep through the five countries, dominate the world, and holding power can be described as a thought of life and death, do you know how much blood is behind such feats?" The old man looked at him, and his gaze suddenly became sharp.

Chen Mingye bowed his head and remained silent.

"The killing qi of the battlefield is fused into the ancestral sword that has been passed down from generation to generation of your Chen family, and the blood-stained sword spirit has only achieved a sharp sword qi. The old man smiled, "This sword qi has killed this Changwu City with blood flowing all over the ground, floating corpses all over the field, bleeding and drifting, you said that the resentful ghosts of this Changwu City have sensed this sword qi of yours, do they hate it?"

Chen Ming was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered the old man's previous words.

"Now I know I'm not talking nonsense," the old man smiled, but there was no panic on his face, "In fact, these resentful ghosts, how can they afford any wind and waves, this Luo Tian Da Jiao perennial festival has long been worn out one by one." It's just that I feel that you are the culprit, and I really hate it. ”

Chen Mingye frowned: "Senior, then why is the sword qi in my body a little uncontrollable?"

"The revenant soul under the sword is actually provocative, with its domineering temper, it naturally can't help it. The old man laughed.

"What should I do?" asked Chen Mingye.

"Simple, unseal it, let it show its majesty, and it will naturally be comfortable. The old man shrugged his shoulders with disdain.

Chen Mingye was slightly stunned, but there was no hesitation in his heart, seeing that the Heavenly Master Array above Luo Tian Dajiao was shrouded, and knowing that there was no threat from the resentful ghosts in it, he also moved his mind and quietly untied the seal on the sword body.

Almost instantly, a tranquil sword aura rose into the sky, like an unruly lonely flying swallow, launching its own challenge towards the sky.

Above the faint blue sky, a cold sword light suddenly bloomed, and with the autumn cold, it fell into the entire Changwu City.

Under the moonlit night, a sword is frosty and cold, the clear light is sprinkled on the world, and the cold light is in the sky.
