The Enemy Outside the Territory Part I: Chapter 5 Seven Stars with the Bright Moon
After several hard battles, once retreating to advance, focusing on defense, the enemy in front of him was too strong, and some of them couldn't parry, thinking of finding a breakthrough to get out of the battle.
Although the edge of the "barrier" seems to be close at hand, it has not been able to get there for a long time when it has to meet the enemy and find a way to retreat.
The Ghost Shadow has the upper hand in the "barrier" it has built, and although it can't be won in one fell swoop, it looks like it will win the battle as the war drags on and on.
Once forced into the dead corner of the alley, with no way out, determined to let go and make a last fight, "Chaos" was afraid that the "Beast Gluttony" would exhaust the remaining Dao power, and it chose this time to remove the spirit state of "a medium", and used its special ability to release black mist to surround the city.
But in this way, the essence of chaos is completely exposed.
The ghost shadow dived into the ground again, scattering and slashing, sweeping from all directions, although this wave of attacks could not hurt for a while, but it could break through the black fog, like a knife breaking hair, and even the wind could easily cut through the black fog.
"Chaos" gradually dispersed under the high-frequency attacks, and the body of the former was slowly revealed.
The ghost shadow seized this opportunity, and ten thousand black blades converged into an arrow and flew towards Yiyi.
Is it going to be finished?
At this moment, in the sky above the "Enchantment", just above the head of the Empire, a black shadow fell from the sky and suppressed the ghost.
"Teacher, Mr. Black Goose!"
The moment the "Black Goose" hit the ground, it grabbed the ghost's head and pushed him to the ground, sliding all the way down the road to the distance.
Now the situation on the field is completely reversed!
The ghost shadow looks vulnerable in front of the black goose with absolute strength.
"Bold and demonic, dare to be presumptuous in Chang'an City!"
"Stinky man, I advise you to leave this matter alone!"
"Hmph! It's not your turn to teach me how to do things here!"
The Black Goose locked the ghost's head and pressed the ghost's body with its body.
The ghost could not resist the oppression, and its true appearance was revealed, and the entity appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
This one who is going to die once is actually a female ghost!
And how does this female ghost look like a little girl? But her words were sharp and harsh, and she didn't want to be a stinky child at all.
"I'll spare you this time! You leave Chang'an right now, and you are not allowed to set foot in Chang'an City for half a step in the future!"
As soon as the "Black Goose" let go of the hand that grabbed the female ghost's head, the female ghost immediately turned into a pitch-black ghost and slipped to the roof behind her, "Don't regret that you let me go tonight, I won't leave Chang'an City if I can't take revenge......!"
In this burst of ghostly laughter, the ghost shadow fled the scene, blended into the night, and disappeared.
The "barrier" was shattered, and they returned to the real plane.
"Teacher, just ......"
"You want to ask why I let her go, right?"
"Yes, this female ghost is fierce and vicious, I almost killed her, let her go, maybe I will hurt others!"
"Promise to be a teacher, and don't mention half a word to others about everything that happened tonight!"
"Why?"
"For your own good! The people and things involved behind this matter are not something you can afford! If you do what I say, nothing will happen!"
"Teacher, I'm ......"
"Don't talk about it yet, the Yin and Yang officials around here must have also sensed the enchantment just now, you and I get out of here quickly!"
The "Black Goose" took Yi Yi to the river, and the Black Goose first asked if Yi Yi was injured, but when he saw that Yi Yi had only suffered some skin injuries, he once again explained that he could not say anything about tonight, so he left in a hurry.
Seeing that the "Black Goose" was gone, "Chaos" dared to speak at this time, "Lord, did you see it just now?"
"You mean the female ghost just now?"
"Well, I feel that the resentment on that female ghost is extremely heavy, and she can construct an enchantment, so presumably the origin of this female ghost is extraordinary!"
"What's even stranger is that the appearance of that female ghost is actually a naïve girl! Also, what secret is hidden in the teacher's words?"
"The lord of the court, Chang'an City is already mixed, and the people's hearts are not ancient, so we should pay more attention in the future!"
The night was still long, and the task of patrolling the night was not over, and he returned to the area he was responsible for.
Afterwards, other night guards came to the area, asked if there was anything unusual in the vicinity, and once pretended that nothing had happened, said that they had not seen anything, and then patrolled the streets as usual.
The streets slowly returned to calm, but for a while they became more wary and uneasy.
When facing the "black goose" just now, the female ghost was forced to endure the pain and let out a lot of nonsense, and now she dragged her badly injured body and fled to the woods outside the city.
The woods were damp with mist, and only a few lone nightingales could be heard.
A mysterious man, hidden in the thick fog, his voice echoing loudly through the trees.
"It seems that you missed this time!"
"Hmph! It's just that I killed a stinky man halfway, and I ....... it."
"Okay! Don't talk about it! I also saw the situation just now, that humane power is unfathomable, you are naturally invincible to him! You are not lightly injured now, you must recover quickly, come with me!"
The "female ghost" followed the man and disappeared into the night mist.
The "Black Goose" did not return to the Temple of Mercy and Grace, but went directly to the Yin and Yang Provincial Department, the mansion of "Shinto".
"Hurry up and report to Lord Shinto, the black goose asks to see you!"
However, as if anticipating that the "Black Goose" would come tonight, the "Shinto" instructed the goalkeeper, and as soon as the "Black Goose" came, he invited him to sit directly in the hall.
The "Black Goose" followed the doorman to the living room, only to see the "Shinto" personal maid, the girl in Tsing Yi standing in front of the hall, the table had already prepared snacks, and the heat of the tea was bubbling from the lid of the tea tray.
"Lord Black Goose, please sit down! Have a cup of tea and have some snacks first!"
"I'm not here to drink tea tonight, I'm not here to drink tea! It's so late, I can't sleep well, and I want to drink tea! Trouble girl, please ask Shinto-sama to come out, I want to discuss things with her!"
"Lord Shinto is meditating in retreat at the moment, and it is inconvenient to meet guests! Lord Shinto has instructed Tsing Yi, and Tsing Yi will answer your question!"
"Black Goose": "Okay! What happened to the south of the city tonight, can Shinto-sama know?"
Tsing Yi: "Know!"
"Black Goose": "Is that female ghost the ...... three years ago?"
Tsing Yi: "Yes!"
"Black Goose": "Ordinary resentful spirits don't have that much anger, and it is impossible to construct such a strong enchantment! Is there a stronger force behind it?"
Tsing Yi: "Yes!"
"Black Goose": "Who is it?"
Tsing Yi: "I don't know!"
"Black Goose": "What is Shinto-sama going to do next?"
Tsing Yi: "Inaction!"
"Black Goose": "Inaction?"
Tsing Yi: "Yes!"
"Black Goose": "This is because of her! She actually said 'inaction'?"
Tsing Yi: "Lord Black Goose! There is only so much Tsing Yi can tell adults! If adults want to drink tea and eat snacks, adults are very welcome here! But if adults feel a little tired, please go back and rest early! It's not too early!"
"Black Goose": "Cut! I don't understand why you all like to drink tea! I don't drink it! I don't care!
"Slow down, adults!"
Tsing Yi sent off the "Black Goose" and came to the "Shinto" retreat.
Shinto sits cross-legged on a couch, and the moonlight shines through the skylight, covering Shinto's body.
"Shinto-sama, the black goose-sama is gone!"
"From tomorrow onwards, you're responsible for investigating who's behind this. It is a matter of the safety of the royal family, and anyone who threatens this matter will be killed!"
"What about the Black Goose?"
"When necessary, including him!"
After the night tour last night, I went back to the dormitory of the ministry to rest.
After that battle, he once consumed almost all of his "Yin Yang Dao Power", and he was already exhausted, but he endured his exhaustion and persevered until he was laid off.
I slept until noon, and the people outside the door knocked on the door for a long time before I woke up.
"Who's it? It's disturbing to sleep early in the morning, ha-"
Once yawning, he also called the door.
"Once a junior brother!"
"It's Senior Brother!"
"Still sleeping?"
He led his brother to come in and sit for a while, but the brother said that he had come to inform him that he would leave immediately.
"What is the senior brother looking for me?"
"Oh, junior brother, starting tonight, you don't have to be on night watch!"
Thinking he was asleep, he paused for three seconds, looked at the floor, then turned to his brother, and then turned back to the floor.
I was stunned!
Is there really such a good thing?
I couldn't believe it, and I tried to regain my sobriety.
"Lord Black Goose came to the provincial ministry last night to give you the special treatment you applied for!"
"Mr. Black Goose?"
"Uh-huh. ”
"Why?"
"I don't know exactly why, anyway, the superior has agreed, you just do it!
"Senior brother, go slowly, don't send it!"
Once he sat down in his chair and drank a glass of water, he still couldn't believe what he had just heard.
"Great, you don't have to work so hard!"
"Well, happiness is inevitably too sudden, isn't it? ”
"The Lord's ......"
As soon as I came to the bedside, I fell asleep, and I couldn't hear any sound.
In the afternoon, the three of them also came back from class and chatted in the hall.
Qiguang: "You said that this class has been open for a few days, why hasn't Teacher Lan Ying come to teach? Senior brother takes us every day, and the province and ministry have learned all the places that should be understood, if you don't hurry up to learn something useful, I don't feel down-to-earth!"
Wei Ling: "I heard that Teacher Lan Ying has been out on errands and has not been in the provincial department for several days! I don't know how long this situation will last." ”
Qi Feng: "When I was relieving myself in the thatched house today, I overheard the senior brother squatting next door also talking about this! It seems that it was because Lord Zhenling sent a secret mission to Teacher Lan Ying, so we couldn't see Teacher Lan Ying!"
Qi Guang: "Did you hear me right?
Qi Feng: "Senior brother didn't say this!"
"Lan Ying" is indeed not in the provincial department during this time, since the last time the imperial tomb was stolen, "Zhen Ling" thinks that there is something strange behind this incident, so he secretly assigned "Lan Ying" to investigate clearly.
Qi Guang: "Anyway, he should have come back a long time ago, is he still sleeping in the room?"
Qi Feng opened the door of Yichao, and saw through the crack in the door that Yichao was still sleeping, so he signaled everyone to be quieter and not to make noise.
Wei Ling: "I'm really sorry for the past! Why doesn't he have the same luck as us? Not to mention that he didn't worship under the Seventh Division, he still has to carry such a heavy night patrol work! Think about us, it is only one turn in three nights, and one hour at a time! Alas......"
Qi Guang: "Speaking of which, I'm a little hungry! Let's go eat! Don't wake him up once, pack him back, let him sleep and eat again!"
As soon as they stepped out of the room, they ran into a brigadier who asked "Who is Ma Yichao?"
"What are you looking for?"
"It's not me looking for him! it's a person named Lin Chen outside the ministry, who wants to look for him!"
"Lin Chen?"
Qi Guang and Wei Ling stared wide-eyed, the name was somewhat familiar but they couldn't remember.
Qi Feng remembered that they had seen Lin Chen before, just the day before the Zhongyuan Festival, "It's the same Lin Chen Gongzi I saw in front of the Ministry of Liao before!
Hearing Qi Feng say this, the two of them gradually recalled the events of that day.
"Oh——, it's him!"
"But he's still sleeping! Why don't you wake him up?"
"Forget it, let's go see what's going on first!"
They came to the front door of the ministry and saw Lin Chen.
"Lin Gongzi!"
"You're a classmate of the past, aren't you?"
"Lin Gongzi is polite! Once I was on night patrol last night, and I didn't go back until dawn until dawn, and now I am still sleeping in the room! Lin Gongzi has something to find him, we will pass the word for you!"
"There are three of them! I came to find a brother this time, and I really have to ask him for help! Since he is still thinking about it, I think I still can't bother, so I'll go back first, and come back later!"
The three of them looked at Lin Chen and seemed to be encountering some difficulties, so they told Lin Chen, "Lin Gongzi has encountered any difficulties, you can tell us." You're a friend of the moment, you're our friend, but you say it's okay!"
Lin Chen: "This ......"
Qiguang: "You're welcome!
Lin Chen: "Actually, it's not a particularly important thing! It's just that I dropped something and want to ask my brother for a favor!"
Wei Ling: "Isn't it just to help find something?"
Lin Chen: "This ......"
Qi Feng: "Young Master Lin, you don't have to see us, you have something to help, it's the same to say to us as it is to say it to you!"
Wei Ling: "Yes, yes, yes! What's more, I have to watch at night every night, and I can't take care of it, so how can I have more energy to do other things? It's good that we don't have to watch at night tonight, if we want to help you find something, it's not a matter of a while!"
Lin Chen: "Okay then! Then it's going to bother the three of you! Only you Yin and Yang Officials can help with this matter of mine......
Three: "It's just us?"
Lin Chen: "That's ......right!
When night fell, all the people of Chang'an City lit up their lights.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the stars shine in Chang'an!
After lying down for a day, I slept full, and when I got up, I was so hungry that I couldn't stand firmly, and I almost fell and ate!
"Why is the dormitory so quiet? Where have they gone? They don't give me food!"
"Lord!"
"Huh, you're awake too?"
"Yes, my lord!"
"Chaos" and Issea are stretching and yawning together. You open your hand, I stretch the branches, you look up, I carry the flower to hold the petals!
Once he changed into a clean plain clothes, he took the official hat on his head and straightened the waistband of his trousers, "Let's go!
After eating, I didn't go back to the dormitory, and went directly to the Temple of Mercy and Grace.
Usually, when you go outside the Temple of Mercy and Grace, you can hear the chattering of the three senior brothers, but tonight it is very strange, and the temple is surprisingly quiet.
"Senior brother—"
He shouted at the top of his voice.
"Why is everyone so strange tonight? One by one, the figures are gone! Could it be that there is some danger?"
"Don't think about it, my lord! Presumably, if Senior Brother is not here at this moment, he must be at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda!"
"Oh yes! How did I forget that!"
Sure enough, the brothers are really on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
The three senior brothers all looked up at the night sky, concentrating and staring intently.
"Senior Brother......
"Shhhhh
"What are you looking at?"
Ryoichi pointed to the sky, "Look at the wonderful stars!"
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is the tallest building in Chang'an, and stargazing from the top of the tower is the most difficult to see the phases of the stars.
"Isn't it just the stars!
Ryoichi: "You don't understand! The astrological changes these nights are either auspicious or bad......
Ryoji: "Ahhhh
Ryoichi: "What's wrong?"
Ryosi: "Look at the moon!"
Just now, in the night sky around the moon, seven companion stars suddenly appeared, and the companion stars were dazzling, and there were signs of overshadowing the moonlight.
Senior Brother Dao San picked up a pen and paper and recorded it, "It's really rare to see such a vision tonight!
"Seven stars with the moon?"
How did he feel that this name seemed to have been seen somewhere, as if it was mentioned in the book that Brother Yixi gave him.
It's a pity that I didn't have this book with me, so I didn't immediately know what kind of astrological sign it was.
"Lord Chao, Brother Yixi has been stargazing in this Big Wild Goose Pagoda for a year before, and there is still a record of his manuscript here, you may find something if you look for it!"
Without saying a word, he went to the room where the manuscript had been placed overnight, and began to read it carefully.
The emperor lived up to his wishes! Once upon a page of yellow paper, he finally found a record of "seven stars accompanied by the moon."
Seven stars with the moon, the stars draw the moonlight, the moonlight is dim, the evil energy in the world gathers, when the stars shine through the moonlight, it is the time when the yin is prosperous and the yang is declining, once the ghosts are illuminated by the starlight, they will be angry and demonic.
It's like, it seems like an ominous omen!
