The northern gate of Chang'an is a wide official road, stretching forward like a long dragon, and I don't know where the end is.

On both sides of the road is a flat wasteland, overgrown with thorns and weeds, but it does not appear lush because it is also trampled on by people.

Further afield, you can see small patches of dense woods, which are full of life in summer, and these trees are lush and vibrant.

This is where Mu Zibai is going, he walked in the forest, walking back and forth several times, but his face finally sank.

"What the hell are you going to do?"

Ye Qingfeng couldn't help but ask.

Mu Zibai turned his head, his eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "A catastrophe is coming." ”

"What?"

Mu Zibai said: "Last night, we cleaned up the demons and ghosts in every square from the south to the north, and there were a lot of demons and ghosts in each square at first, but after more than ten evil ghosts were erased, there were many, many fewer demons and ghosts we encountered later. ”

Ye Qingfeng nodded and said, "Yes, there were more resentful spirits in the first eight squares than there were in the later hundred squares combined. ”

"Is it abnormal?"

"Abnormal. ”

Mu Zibai said: "We initially thought that they fled to the north, but we didn't find the northern city tower, so we thought they had escaped from the city. ”

Ye Qingfeng also reacted, and changed color and said: "So many resentful spirits have escaped from the city together, it must be a monstrous black qi, and the yin wind is angry. ”

"But the guards of the northern city tower haven't seen any movement, so heavy yin qi, we will all get cold, not to mention these ordinary people who only have martial arts and no mana. ”

Speaking of this, Mu Zibai's tone changed: "Well, even if the ghosts go out of the city in a way they can't feel, where are they most likely to go?"

Ye Qingfeng said: "Of course it's this forest, it's close to Chang'an, you can fight back at any time, and the sun is not transparent here, so you can just live here." ”

"Then do you feel any yin qi now?"

Ye Qingfeng's face became more and more ugly, and he shook his head: "Meaning, these ghost things are actually all in Chang'an City, but they are hidden somewhere we don't know." ”

Mu Zibai said: "Not bad. ”

"Let's go!

Ye Qingfeng said loudly: "I want to send Tiance disciples to inspect the cellars of every household, and I must find out these ghosts, otherwise it will really be difficult to sleep." ”

Mu Zibai glanced at Ye Qingfeng deeply: "If you can find it, naturally everything will be fine, but if you can't find it in the cellar, where do you guess these ghosts went?"

Ye Qingfeng was stunned, as if he remembered something, his scalp suddenly became numb, his hair stood upside down, and he said in shock: "Tang Palace." ”

Mu Zibai said: "That's why I said that a catastrophe is coming, if it is really in the Tang Palace, I am afraid that something big will happen." ”

He clasped Ye Qingfeng's shoulder and said, "We must be prepared, otherwise the sky will fall apart and a catastrophe will come, and no one will be able to stop it." ”

Ye Qingfeng clenched his fists and said word by word: "Let's go to find Zhong Kui Heavenly Master, the matter is too big, the strength of a few of us is not enough, and we still need a trump card." ”

"So what I want to ask is, what kind of person is this Zhong Kui Heavenly Master, is he stupid and loyal?"

Mu Zibai's brows tightened, as if he was thinking about something.

Ye Qingfeng said: "Zhong Kui Heavenly Master Xianyun Yehe, he is not a minister of the Tang Dynasty, how can he talk about foolishness, this time he came, and he was also invited by the saint, not summoned." ”

"Understood, just look for him. The doubts in Mu Zibai's eyes gradually decreased.

The two strode back to Chang'an, while Ye Qingfeng continued: "You can't be in a hurry, there is an even more terrifying possibility, if we ignore this possibility, it will be a disaster of broken bones." ”

After Ye Qingfeng mentioned this, Mu Zibai also seemed to think of something, his eyes became even colder, and he nodded: "It will be revealed tomorrow!"

Ye Qingfeng said: "Yes, if something happens to the water and land festival tomorrow, then this matter will almost be implemented." ”

"Because... In fact, Buddhist disciples are very respected, and this is the reason why the water and land puja dares to be held at the Great Mercy and Grace Temple. ”

"The monks set up the temple, and the saints never opposed the Buddha. ”

Hearing this, Mu Zibai nodded: "Understood." ”

Both of them felt the boundless pressure, and they never thought that things would be so serious.

At this moment, it was dusk, and the remnants of the glow spread in the west, like the sky splashing blood, covering half of the sky.

The earth was red, and the houses and towers were covered with blood, and they were tragic and heavy.

Chang'an City is terrifyingly quiet.

Back at Tiance Mansion, it was getting dark, and there was no moon tonight.

Ye Qingfeng couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, he kept thinking about the possibility that he had guessed with Mu Zibai during the day, and the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, this Chang'an City was actually on the edge of the cliff, and a gust of wind could plunge it into an endless abyss, and it would never recover.

He finally sat up, pushed open the door and came to the courtyard, blowing the cool night breeze, and felt better in his heart.

With a heavy breath, he lifted the Star Soul Sword, closed his eyes, and thought about the scene when he first learned martial arts.

At that time, I was still very young, but I can already remember, it was my father who taught me how to hold a sword, how to use a sword, what is a thorn, what is chopping, what is picking, what is wiping, what is pumping, what is sweeping, there are a lot of exquisitenesses in it.

I was also interested in it, so I studied very seriously at that time and laid a very solid foundation, so I was able to worship in Tiance Mansion.

It is true that he has caused a lot of trouble over the years, but when it comes to hard cultivation, no one can compare to himself.

For what?

Avenge.

I thought that revenge had been avenged, but now it seems that it is only half done.

But life shouldn't be about revenge, Ye Qingfeng thought, now he is a lot more mature than before, maybe it's because of the great difficulty, or maybe it's because of the age.

Swinging the sword slowly, he always wanted to sweat himself, so that there would be a hearty feeling and some venting.

Over the years, it has become a habit.

He repeats simple movements, which are the most basic swordsmanship, but there is a sense of returning to the basics.

He was sure that his cultivation had progressed, and the tempering of the past few days had allowed him to reach a new level.

It's just that the pressure in his heart has not decreased, and he knows what he is going to face.

What is the purpose of Tiance Mansion?

In addition to the evil inside, the external shock barbarian, the suppression of violence, and the defense of the country.

Ye Qingfeng had already remembered this sentence deeply, but this time, it seemed to be about to be broken.

He thinks about so many things because... What is currently in front of him, and what he is about to do will break the rules he has insisted on before.

He sighed, wiped the sweat from his face, and opened his eyes, only to see a shadow standing in the pavilion.

The sky was dark, and I could only see the general outline of her body, curvaceous, with a gentle beauty.

"Senior Sister Frost Moon, I woke you up. ”

Ye Qingfeng smiled apologetically and walked over slowly.

Ling Shuangyue shook her head and smiled lightly: "I couldn't sleep at all, seeing that you are practicing swords, just come out and take a look, drink water." ”

Ye Qingfeng poured a few mouthfuls and wiped them with his sleeve: "It's already late at night." ”

Ling Shuangyue nodded, looked at the sky, and said, "There is no moon, but it's not bad." ”

"Senior Sister Frost Moon, you don't seem to like the moon very much?"

Ling Shuangyue shook her head: "The moon is there, what can you decide if you like it or not, in fact, it can't be said that you don't like it, but I think it's not as beautiful as people imagined." ”

"It seems to me that the moon is not as beautiful as the sun, which is too quiet and too cold, while the sun is warm, hot and full of power. ”

Hearing these words, Ye Qingfeng couldn't help laughing: "These words are too profound, I can't understand what the meaning is, I only know that there is a moon, it's better than black." ”

Ling Shuangyue also laughed: "Senior Brother Ye, is something wrong, I feel that you and Senior Brother Mu's emotions are not very normal." ”

Ye Qingfeng nodded: "There is indeed a situation, I went to the north of the city in the afternoon, and found that the ghosts did not go out of the city at all, and there are only two possibilities left." ”

Ling Shuangyue sighed: "I also guessed, you must have gone to the north of the city to understand this matter, and the remaining two possibilities are obviously more serious, and the probability is greater." ”

Ye Qingfeng smiled bitterly: "I can't hide anything from Senior Sister Frost Moon." ”

Ling Shuangyue said: "Don't boast, it's not a complicated matter, but I'm worried... That's the worst possible scenario. ”

Ye Qingfeng's face suddenly became solemn, and he thought for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, I will also stop the deterioration of the situation!"

Ling Shuangyue nodded lightly, looked at Ye Qingfeng's eyes and said in a low voice, "I heard that Senior Brother Ye's father is a ghost ranger, who sacrificed to protect his fellow villagers. ”

Ye Qingfeng didn't expect Ling Shuangyue to suddenly mention this, and smiled reluctantly.

"It's all in the past, but my father is a chivalrous man, and there's really nothing hard to say, and I've always been proud of it. ”

Ling Shuangyue suddenly said, "So Senior Brother Ye's chivalry and bravery are engraved in his bones. ”

Ye Qingfeng was stunned, looked at Ling Shuangyue blankly, and suddenly remembered a sentence in the depths of his memory.

"Feng'er, those who draw swords to the weak are cowards, those who draw swords to the strong are warriors, those who guard the strong are lackeys, and those who protect the weak are heroes. ”

This is what my father once said, and I don't know how long I haven't remembered it, but now that Ling Shuangyue mentioned it, Ye Qingfeng suddenly remembered it.

He chewed on this sentence carefully, and finally raised his head, smiled, and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Frost Moon. ”

Ye Qingfeng felt a special warmth, he was really curious, why Ling Shuangyue could always use the most ordinary words to penetrate the depths of his heart.

She saw her pressure, but she comforted herself in a loud way, but so precisely, so effectively.

Ye Qingfeng knew that Ling Shuangyue was smarter than everyone saw and imagined, maybe it couldn't be described as smart, this was a kind of wisdom, it belonged to Ling Shuangyue's wisdom.

Invisibly, he found the answer to this matter, and his heart was relieved, so he said thank you from the bottom of his heart.

"Senior Brother Ye, your comprehension is really high, it's not that I deliberately comforted you, but that you yourself are discovering something and solving it. ”

Ling Shuangyue smiled slightly, her hair fluttered slightly, and her words were like a spring breeze, invading every corner of the night.
