Luoyang, the birthplace of Chinese civilization and one of the four ancient capitals, has played an important role in all dynasties. Since the Han and Wei dynasties, Luoyang City has experienced the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, the rebellion of the eight kings of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the division and war in the last years of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In the first year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang abandoned the former site of the Han and Wei dynasties, moved the city site to the west for eighteen miles, and rebuilt the new capital, calling it Tokyo.

At the foot of the North Mountain, a team of craftsmen is excavating a slope in a tense and orderly manner.

"It's all stepped up for me, if someone delays the construction period for me, the top will investigate it, but I'm going to lose my head! Don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes!"

In this group of craftsmen, a big man with thick eyebrows, ** upper body, holding a leather whip in his hand, shouted loudly.

When the craftsmen saw the overseer coming, they quickly waved the tools in their hands and dug down as fast as they could.

At this moment, a craftsman suddenly touched a hard object, and the shovel in his hand broke in response.

The craftsman dug through the dirt, and a pitch-black jade stone appeared.

"It's ......"

As soon as he saw this piece of black jade, the craftsman's pupils suddenly dilated several times, and an extremely frightened expression appeared on his face......

After a short time, the craftsmen of this land dug up this jade one after another, and they all showed terrified expressions.

The craftsman played with the leather whip in his hand and swaggered from the group of craftsmen. At this time, the scene suddenly fell silent.

"Huh?"

The overseer turned around and noticed that the craftsmen had all stopped.

"What are you doing? Don't give me a good job, I haven't left yet!"

Who knew that this group of craftsmen ignored it extraordinarily, but they didn't even look at the overseer.

"Okay, I see you're all impatient, aren't you?"

The overseer was furious, took a few steps forward, and immediately raised the whip and whipped it at the craftsman beside him, but before the leather whip fell, the craftsman next to him collapsed to the ground first.

At the same time, the rest of the craftsmen fell one after the other at the same moment.

"What's going on......"

The Overseer's face was flustered, and he looked around. I saw that around me, streams of black gas filaments diffused from the soil layer.

The Overseer's face changed dramatically, and his pupils dilated dramatically, as if he had seen something terrible.

......

Outside Jinyang City, a young man in Tsing Yi is walking on a spacious avenue.

This person's steps are calm and powerful, and his eyebrows reveal a bit of heroism, and he has a lot of wanton and chic assets.

The young man found a simple tea shed and sat down, ordered a pot of fine bamboo leaves, and listened to the travelers tell about the recent idle stories on the rivers and lakes.

"This mortal wine, although it is not as good as the Taoist immortal wine, but it does have a different taste. ”

The young man smiled and drank all the wine in the bowl, still unfinished: "Wine is good wine, but it's a pity that there are fewer people who drink with you." ”

The young man put down the bowl and was about to get up. At this time, a hearty laugh suddenly came into my ears.

"Brother Tai is really a good amount of wine, the younger brother is not talented, can you take this opportunity to have a few drinks with Brother Tai?"

The young man looked up, and the man at the next table walked over slowly with a smile on his face, picking up a wine bowl.

This man looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a gorgeous dress, and at first glance he knew that he was a noble child. Beside this boy in a fancy costume, there is also a young man in cloth, thirteen or fourteen years old, who looks like the only boy in a fancy costume is looking at the horse, and he is a scholar who reads with him.

Before the young man could speak, the young man in the fancy costume had already walked to the opposite side, and sat down straight, ignoring the dusty bench.

Seeing that the young man had no reaction, the young man in Huafu laughed, lifted the wine jar himself, poured a large bowl full of it, and said, "In Xia Li Cheng, I don't know the noble name of Brother Tai?"

The young man seemed unwilling to talk to this person, so he only said lightly: "The surname is Qin!"

However, Li Cheng was not annoyed or angry, but hugged his fists and said enthusiastically: "It turned out to be Brother Qin, fortunately, fortunately!"

The young man was expressionless and asked, "I wonder what your Excellency has to say?"

Li Cheng said with a smile: "Don't hide it from my brother, I travel all over the world and like to make friends." Fang just saw that his brother was Xuanang, and there was a clear air between his eyebrows, and he must also be a cultivator. ”

"Oh, how so?"

When the young man heard this, his brow suddenly moved. This Li Cheng has neither Dao Law nor any special treasures, and he knows at a glance that he is just an ordinary mortal, how did he know his identity as a cultivator?

Li Cheng laughed, quite complacent, and said: "Although I have never practiced Taoism, I know a lot about cultivating Taoism. All cultivators have a saying that within a radius of dozens of miles, this is the only place to replenish food, and Brother Tai has never eaten, but has drunk half a jar of spirits, what else can a person who is not a cultivator?"

Li Cheng changed his words and said with a smile: "However, although I have seen a lot of people who have cultivated in the lower Dao, I have never seen a person like Brother Tai. ”

The young man nodded secretly, although this Li Cheng seemed to have a frivolous demeanor, but his mind was extremely delicate, and based on his demeanor alone, he had already concluded that he was a cultivator.

At this time, Li Cheng had already picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "What, Brother Qin is willing to make a friend of mine now?"

The young man's face softened, he poured the wine full, held it in front of him, and said, "Dry!"

Li Cheng laughed, drank all the wine in the bowl, and said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Qin is also a cheerful person, I have made this friend!"

The young man didn't want to have more contact with outsiders, but Li Cheng was too enthusiastic, and he couldn't sweep the other party's interest, so he simply let the other party go.

In this way, the two of you and I started to dry one bowl at a time, and soon a few more empty jars came out on the table.

The young man's face did not change, but this Li Cheng was gradually drunk.

However, because of this, there is a trace of admiration in the hearts of young people. For him, these ordinary wines really don't mean much, he can only live his mouth, even if he drinks here for ten days and a half months, he will be fine. But this Li Cheng is different, he is an ordinary man, and if he continues to drink like this, I am afraid that he will have to lie down for ten days and a half months. That Li Cheng knew this, but he refused to take advantage of the young man at all, every time the young man did a bowl, he would follow the next bowl, it could not be said that he was not a true temperament!

At this time, the scholar beside Li Cheng finally sensed that something was wrong, stepped forward, and urged: "Childe, don't drink anymore, if you drink again, you will have to delay the things that the master explained!"

However, at this time, Li Cheng was in the mood for wine, and he was willing to listen to this scholar, so he pushed the scholar away, and said drunkly: "It's okay! Didn't my father just ask me to find the Taoist master, isn't the Qin brother in front of me also a cultivator......? It's not impossible to let Brother Qin go and do it for you......"

"Hey, Childe, you're drunk, stop!"

Seeing that Li Cheng's eyes were blurred and his speech was stammering, the scholar rushed forward and pressed Li Cheng's wine bowl.

Who knew that although Li Cheng was slightly drunk, his strength was extraordinary, and he pushed the scholar with one hand, and opened a jar of wine with the other hand, and poured a bowl full of it.

Li Cheng laughed and said, "Brother Qin is really a hero, do it!"

The young man laughed, raised the bowl, and drank it all.

When the scholar saw this, his heart became more and more anxious, but he had nothing to do, so he had to look at the young man on the side.

The scholar's eyes were full of pleading, and he said: "Young Master Qin, I beg you, don't let your son drink any more, otherwise if you break the things that the master explained, your son will definitely suffer heavy responsibility!"

Who knew that the young man waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, since Brother Li is in high spirits, then everything will be like him!"

"This ......"

The scholar had a bitter face, and he definitely didn't expect the other party to say such a thing.

The young man did not pay any attention to the scholar, but drank with Li Cheng again. After a while, the only dozen or so altars of bamboo leaves left in this tea shed were drunk.

At this time, Li Cheng finally couldn't support it anymore, and fell to the sky.

Seeing this, the scholar couldn't help but be shocked, and quickly helped Li Cheng, who was drunk and unconscious, to sit on a bench.

The scholar said with a bitter face: "Gongzi Qin, how can this be good? It's over, Gongzi is going to die this time!"

However, at this time, the young man smiled faintly, and then slapped Li Cheng's forehead, and suddenly a small stream of pale golden true qi crossed into the other party's meridians.

In less than a moment, all the alcohol on Li Cheng's body dissipated, and he woke up suddenly, feeling refreshed and incomparably smooth for a while.

Li Cheng laughed and said excitedly: "I know that Brother Qin is absolutely not an ordinary person, and his ability to dissolve the power of alcohol alone is much better than those bull-nosed veterans." ”

The young man smiled and was noncommittal, but asked, "I just heard Brother Li mention Dao Zhen Dao Chief, I don't know which one he is referring to?"

Li Cheng didn't think about it, and said loudly: "The Dao Truth Dao Leader I just mentioned is naturally Qiu Dao Truth Chief, thirty miles west of Jinyang City!"

"What's the matter, Brother Qin, does he know the Dao Zhen senior?" Li Cheng asked instead.

The young man smiled slightly and said, "I haven't seen Dao Dao Qiu before, but he has some origins. ”

When Li Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face, and said: "Oh, it seems that I am really related to Brother Qin, and my father has always been good friends with Daozhen seniors.

When the young man heard this, his heart moved. Although these three Qingguan were a branch of the Dao Sect in the mortal world, they never expected that this Qiu Dao True Dao Master would be so close to the people of the mortal world.

The young man asked, "What happened to bother Brother Li to go to Sanqingguan in person?"

The smile on Li Cheng's face suddenly froze, revealing a hint of solemnity, hesitated for a moment, and then arrived: "Although this matter is big, there is nothing to hide from Brother Qin...... Brother Qin has come all the way, have you heard about the Luoyang Caves?"

The young man nodded and said, "But I heard about it." ”

......

It turned out that since Luoyang dug out the black ore that day, the surrounding area has become weird. Every night, there will be inexplicable ghostly screams and ghosts crying, and the nearby residents will always lose their lives inexplicably, and their faces are distorted and terrified. Within a radius of dozens of miles, there are rumors of daylight. Soon after, the entire city of Luoyang was shrouded in a haze of ghosts.

This son, who called himself Li Cheng, his father was an important member of the imperial court and was ordered to investigate the matter of seeing ghosts in Luoyang. Father Li was friendly with Qiu Daozhen, so he sent Li Cheng to Sanqingguan in person to see if Daoist Qiu Daozhen could find a solution.

And the young man Li Cheng met was naturally Qin Huai.

Qin Huai has been cultivating in the Arctic Palace for several months, and his body has healed, and his cultivation has increased significantly. After recovering from his injury, he embarked on the journey back to the mountain. Originally, Qin Huai passed by Jinyang City and planned to go to his hometown to pay tribute to his parents, but he didn't expect to meet this Li Cheng halfway.

As for Qiushui Zhenren and Qingyang Zhenren, they returned to the Taoist Sect early. On that day, the two factions gathered to coerce the Heavenly Star Sect, and when they went, they were windy and volcanic, but the ending ended hastily. Under the pressure of the two cases, the Qimiao real people opened the mountain gate, from the real people to the miscellaneous servants, and all let the two cases be investigated, but it was found that the Heavenly Star Sect did not have a murderer who assassinated Qin Huai.

The two had no choice but to withdraw their troops and return in a huff. However, because of this, the Dao Sect and the Arctic Palace have formed a small bond with the Heavenly Star Sect.
