Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Sword Name Giant
Wen Zhong's victorious squad returned to the dynasty and was ceremoniously received by the Son of Heaven, and Zhang Zixing was still very happy to be able to take the entire Jizhou without blood and return it to the territory directly under the central government.
For Su Hu, who repeatedly asked for guilt, Zhang Zixing unceremoniously revoked his title, but did not harm his family again, but just warned a few words, gave him a mansion, and let him live in Chaoge. Although Su Hu saved his surname, he lost his territory and title forever, and the cold eyes and contempt he received were needless to say, but his residence was prominently arranged at the intersection of the avenue leading to the imperial city, and the plaque also deliberately wrote two big characters of Su Fu.
It is convenient to travel in all directions, so there are many floating populations coming and going. Pedestrians or passing officials knew at a glance that this was the house of the traitor Su Hu, and they all pointed fingers and talked about it, which made Su Hu feel extremely aggrieved, if it wasn't for a promise that made him still have some hope for the future, he would have wiped his neck and killed himself.
The princes who came to the court song were secretly chilled when they saw this scene, the Son of Heaven was ostensibly in the name of benevolence and righteousness, listened to the opinions of the princes, and spared Su Hu's surname, but this kind of means made Su Hu more uncomfortable than death.
On the contrary, it was the general Zheng Lun who was appreciated by Zhang Zixing, and ordered him to worship under Wen Zhongmen, and make meritorious contributions in the future, Zheng Lun didn't expect such a result, and he was grateful.
A few days later, Su Daji, who was escorted by Jili, also arrived at Chaoge smoothly. The Son of Heaven did not summon Daji in public, but simply sent someone to bring him into the palace, without even a title. All the ministers are bright, Su Hu is a rebellious minister, the Son of Heaven has done his best to do this, and it is estimated that his daughter will not be favored. is also to promise his daughter to the Son of Heaven, Su Hu and Shang Rong are simply very different.
Su Daji showed a pitiful appearance, lowered her eyebrows and followed the palace maid to the residence, this residence is a small palace, due to the relatively remote relationship, it seems very quiet, and there are few palace maids waiting. Although she didn't meet the queen's concubines as expected, and she didn't even see the face of the Son of Heaven, she knew that because of Su Hu's relationship, she could not be favored by the Son of Heaven in a short time. But Daji is confident that as long as he can meet the Son of Heaven, with the peerless appearance of this body and the seductive talent of the fox clan, he will definitely be able to firmly tie the heart of the Son of Heaven, and now he just needs to wait patiently for the opportunity. It is rumored that the Son of Heaven loves his wife very much, so there are only five concubines so far, and one day they will think of her, even if the Son of Heaven can't think of it, she has absolute certainty to "make" him remember, because she is not only Su Daji, but also a thousand-year-old fox demon who knows the Tao, she is nervous and slightly excited to think about her future plans, and it is almost difficult to sleep.
In fact, Su Daji didn't know that since she entered the palace, the Son of Heaven had been "thinking" about her all the time, and even when discussing with the most trusted emperor Kong Xuan, the topic was also her.
Zhang Zixing sighed with emotion, he couldn't imagine that he destroyed the Xuanyuan Tomb, but he missed the three demons who were not present, and in the end, the fox demon still occupied Daji's body, could it be really fate?
"Brother Xian, can you describe the appearance of the Taoist priest you saw in Enzhou?"
After hearing Kong preach, Zhang Zixing showed a strange smile: Sure enough, it was him!
"Although the woman of the Su family is a mortal body, she can use the mysterious mind method to cover up the demonic energy, if there is no golden immortal middle-level cultivation, she will not be able to detect it. ”
"Golden Immortal Intermediate Rank?" Zhang Zixing's eyes narrowed, "So, that Dao person is at least the realm of the Golden Immortal Intermediate Rank?"
Kong Xuan praised: "This person has a very thick foundation, his strength has reached the top of the middle level of the Golden Immortal, and he can only break through to the upper level only slightly, and the flower basket in his hand is also a good magic weapon. ”
"That person may be an old man of mine, because he was afraid of the Su family's concubine, so he didn't make a move," Zhang Zixing said with a smile: "If my guess is right, it won't be long before I can meet this golden immortal." ”
"Since this woman has bad intentions, she should immediately get rid of it," Kong Xuan didn't have so much thought about him, "The imperial brother wants the foolish brother to take action?"
"Don't work hard brother, this woman may be of great use in the future......"
Kong Xuan thought of the talisman treasure that Zhang Zixing entrusted him to make, and he realized something in his heart, only to hear Zhang Zixing ask: "Can the virtuous brother have anything to help me hide my true cultivation?"
"In fact, the true martial arts spirit technique cultivated by the imperial brother itself has a hidden aura and the wonderful use of cultivation, but I am afraid that I will not be able to hide it from the first-class golden immortal," Kong Xuan thought for a while and took out a five-colored feather, "The imperial brother can take this thing with him, unless he is also a person who is a Xuan Immortal upper rank, no one can see your true realm, if you want to show weakness to others, you only need to reveal the cultivation of the corresponding stage." ”
Zhang Zixing took it and put it into the magic bag. Kong Xuan said again: "Recently, I have something important to do and I have to travel far away." Say goodbye to the royal brother for the time being, and then return to the court to reunite with the imperial brother after the matter is over. ”
Hearing that Kong Xuan was leaving, Zhang Zixing was a little reluctant, but fortunately he said that he would come back after the matter was dealt with, so he didn't ask more: "Brother Xian is careful when he goes, and come back as soon as possible after the incident, so as not to worry about the foolish brother." ”
Kong Xuan nodded, bowed, and left directly.
After Kong Xuan left, Zhang Zixing fell into deep thought: judging from the demonic energy on Su Daji's body, he must have been taken away by the nine-tailed fox, and it seems that although he cleared the Xuanyuan Tomb in advance, he was still a chess match after all. Originally, Kong Xuan proposed to kill Daji just now, and he was also a little moved, but in the long run, this will not completely solve the problem, Nuwa Niangniang will definitely not stop there, rather than let this saint Niangniang send other unknown demons to come, it is better to leave Daji for the time being, no matter what tricks she makes, at least she can be under her control.
If you really want to destroy the demon fox, I believe that there will be an opportunity soon, an opportunity that may be able to provoke the relationship between the sect and Nuwa Niangniang...... However, what about the other two youkai...... This night, like Daji, Zhang Zixing, who was thinking about his future plans, also couldn't sleep all night.
The next day, Zhang Zixing, who woke up from the imperial study, hurried to the court with hazy sleepy eyes, and was discussing with the ministers, when suddenly the noon gate official played: "There is a Qi refiner in Zhongnan Mountain, Yun Zhongzi, who has confidential and important feelings, and he did not dare to meet him without authorization, please make a decision." ”
Zhang Zixing was taken aback, and only then did he guess that Yun Zhongzi might come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, and he thought about it in his head for a while, and passed the order: "Please ask the Taoist chief to come and see you." ”
Soon after, the noon gate official led Yun Zhongzi all the way into the main hall, Zhang Zixing looked from afar, and saw that Yun Zhongzi's appearance and clothing were the same as back then, still dressed in green clothes and bast shoes, holding a flower basket to whisk the dust. The ministers were also secretly peeking at this person, and when they saw that he had an uncommon appearance and a fairy style, they couldn't help but praise him secretly.
Yun Zhongzi approached the dripping eaves, held the dust and made a joke, and said: "Your Majesty, the poor road is the head." ”
The ministers saw this Taoist salute like this, and their hearts were displeased, Zhao Qi came out of the column and said: "The Wuna Daoist is good and hateful, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, rich from all over the world, 'the shore of the leader, is it not the king', although you are outside, but you are also in my Dashang territory, why do you despise the Son of Heaven so much, only bow down and do not worship?"
Zhang Zixing frowned slightly, and ordered Zhao Qi to retreat: "The doctor must not be rude, the head of the Yunzhongzi Dao is a widow's old friend, so there is no need to be polite." Come, sit. ”
Yun Zhongzi was not humble either, and sat down next to him. Zhang Zixing asked: "Don't come to the Taoist Chief, don't come to harm? When I said goodbye to the Taoist Chief, the widow missed it very much, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to meet again. ”
Yun Zhongzi smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, why should you be too humble, in the past, I heard that Your Majesty was determined to govern benevolently and relieve all the people in the world from fire and water, but now you will do what you say, which makes Poor Dao very pleased." ”
"The Taoist chief praised it falsely, may I ask where did the Taoist chief come from?"
Yun Zhongzi replied: "The poor road comes from Yunshui. ”
Zhang Zixing deliberately snatched his phone, and praised at the moment: "The heart is like a white cloud, and the mind is like flowing water." What a cloud!"
Yun Zhongzi's eyes lit up, and he asked rhetorically: "The clouds are scattered and the water is dry, where do you return?"
It's all messed up, it's obviously my line...... Zhang Zixing muttered in his heart, and replied stubbornly: "Go to scatter the bright moon in the sky, and the pearl of dry water appears." ”
Yun Zhongzi's face was happy: "Sure enough, it is the Son of Wisdom!"
Zhang Zixing was secretly embarrassed, if he said a few more words, he was afraid that he would be ugly, and said with a smile: "Dao Changxiu is going to kill the widow, when it is thanks to your gift of heart tricks, the widow gradually understands the wonderful truth, cultivates strange arts, and the grace of the Taoist, how can he forget?"
Yun Zhongzi sighed: "Your Majesty's achievements are due to his own chance and penance, even if there is no poor path, he can also reach an extraordinary state. ”
Zhang Zixing said: "If the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment, the four seas are rich and safe, and the widow should be a virtuous person, and the Taoist chief will travel all over the world with a few acquaintances, and participate in the wonders of the world, wouldn't it be happy!"
Yun Zhongzi saw that Zhang Zixing was at least a Jindan stage cultivator, which was actually the magic of Kong Xuan's feathers. Yun Zhongzi was originally worried that if he caused chaos according to the throne for a thousand years, when he heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Your Majesty has this surname, it is really a blessing in the world, and at that time, Poor Dao is willing to be his own guide and accompany His Majesty to travel all over the world! A few days ago, it was said that the poor road was idle, and when the medicine was collected at the peak, I suddenly saw the demonic spirit running through the song, and the strange spirit was born in the forbidden air. In the past, he said that he had a good relationship with His Majesty, but now he said that he came to see him, but the cause and effect helped His Majesty get rid of this demon!"
Zhang Zixing knew that he had met Daji in Enzhou, so he pretended to be surprised: "This deep palace is secret, and it is not an earthly mountain forest, but there are also demons!"
"This demon hides the means of cleverness, Your Majesty said that there are all kinds of opportunities, naturally there is no time to notice, if you don't get rid of it for a long time, there will be a disaster," Yun Zhongzi opened the flower basket, took out a pine sword, held it in his hand, and said: "Your Majesty, this sword is called 'Juque', which is made by Poor Dao himself, and has the miraculous effect of suppressing demons, and is now given to His Majesty." ”
Zhang Zixing wanted to say something more: "How to use this sword, does it need to be refined?"
"There is no need to refine, this sword demon fairy power can only be maintained for ten days, after ten days, it is no different from mortal wood, if you can hold this sword to get close to the demon, you can suppress its demon power, and within three hours, you can make its soul fly away; It's just that this sword is against fire, don't go near fire. ”
Zhang Zixing took Juque with both hands, and felt that this wooden sword was indeed brewing with very pure and powerful immortal power, and hurriedly thanked Yun Zhongzi. Yun Zhongzi saw that he accepted the giant sword, and he didn't say much, and immediately got up to say goodbye. Zhang Zixing sighed: "The Taoist chief is a pure guest, and the widow is not forced to stay, he said that he has time, and then reunite." ”
"The cause and effect are over, I don't know if there is still a chance to meet, and let it be......" Yun Zhongzi bowed and left.
After Yun Zhongzi left, Zhang Zixing thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to follow Yun Zhongzi's words and hang the giant gate near the cold palace where Daji lived.
Pity the nine-tailed fox, who was shocked by the breath of Yun Zhongzi and Kong Xuan along the way, and only then did he enter the palace and encounter the deadly sword of Juque.
After Zhang Zixing dispersed, a waiter came to report: "Su Guiren suddenly contracted a disease today and was bedridden, do you want to pass on the imperial doctor?"
Since Su Daji is currently only a nobleman, and he has been beaten into the cold palace, the inner servant has this "redundant" question.
Sure enough, it came true! Zhang Zixing sneered and shook his head: "You step down, this matter is silent." ”
The inner attendant retreated, Zhang Zixing came to the harem to accompany several wives for a while, came to the secret base of the underground of the Star Picking Tower, and turned on the monitoring system placed in the cold palace in advance.
The screen immediately showed the scene in the cold palace, due to Zhang Zixing's orders, the palace maids who were waiting had already left, leaving only Daji who was lying motionless on the bed.
"Hmph, self-inflicted......" Zhang Zixing sneered, considering the long-term struggle in the future, he was still a little hesitant about whether to kill Daji now, but at least let her suffer a little first.
"If this demon girl is destroyed now, will Nuwa turn against the teachings because of this? These saints, when they bully the small, are as excited as if they have taken aphrodisiacs, and when they deal with opponents equal to themselves, they are like turtles with shrunken heads, or they will call helpers to beat them up......
Zhang Zixing muttered to himself, narrowed the focus of the surveillance camera closer, glanced at it casually, his face suddenly changed greatly, and his eyes were fixed on Daji's face on the screen. Then he nervously adjusted his camera continuously, and the fingers that controlled the buttons began to tremble.
In an instant, Zhang Zixing had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he suddenly figured out many things.
"your ancestors!" he slammed his fist on the keyboard, instantly smashing the entire table to pieces, but he seemed to be so excited that he couldn't care much about it at all, and his mouth was still incoherently spitting out a string of "national curses" that were ahead of his time.
"Could it be an illusion or a demon fox's change ......" After a long time, Zhang Zixing calmed down, trying to analyze one possibility after another, and was finally ruled out by himself one by one.
This Daji's face was all too familiar to him, even more impressive than any of his current wives, and before his rebirth, he and she were the most enviable couple in the scientific world of the twenty-fourth century, and her death was the greatest blow he had suffered in his life, and the unforgettable pain that he could not forget to this day.
Rain Fairy ...... It turned out to be a rain fairy!
I didn't expect Daji's appearance to be the same as that of Yuxian, thinking of Nuwa's relationship with this matter, to say that it was just a coincidence, I didn't believe it when I killed him. He is not a fool, he immediately guessed Nuwa's sinister intentions, if he, the "King of Xuanyuan", was not reborn and knew the plot of the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb in advance, he was afraid that he had fallen into the calculation and could not extricate himself.
"You want to use such a bloody plot to confuse me?" Zhang Zixing's knuckles turned white from clenched fists, and soon, he slowly stood up, burning with anger, and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
