In the medieval world, Beidou was in power, the master was immortal, heaven and earth were polarized by seven numbers, and the heavens were four and three were based on the heavens and the earth, with the heavens in the top and the earth in the bottom, the sky as the positive and the earth as the opposite.

Seven days a week is a small yuan, seven small yuan is a big yuan, and seven yuan is an epoch, which is a year.

At the beginning of the epoch of fourteen thousand one hundred and fourteen, the drizzle continued, the southwest of the Middle Ages was called Shuzhong, the mountains were steep, the dangerous peaks were numerous, it was always rumored that there were immortals haunted, the clouds and mist in the mountains were diffused all the year round, whether it was a distant view or a close view, there was an intoxicating fairy taste.

Shuzhong is remote, sparsely populated, has never been constrained by the emperors of the Central Plains, and there is not much deceit, and it is quite simple to use the folk customs. However, if the ministers of the court offend the noble royal family, they will usually be demoted to this place, and they will not end up suffering all year round.

On this day, the two carriages on the official road accompanied by the sound of "squeak" entered the range of the capital city in Shuzhong, the peaks on both sides of the official road rose straight to the sky, and a middle-aged man in his forties in the carriage sighed: "This time I left the Beijing Division, I am afraid that it will be difficult to turn back in this life, but it is bitter for Mrs. and Yue'er." ”

The lady, who was also in the carriage, was dressed in a slightly cold manner, and smiled: "Yue'er and I don't blame you, what are you complaining about?" Master, you are willing to do that strong order, our family will not object! Yue'er is weak, just come here to raise in Shu, and when you grow up, you will definitely be able to enter the court and inherit your will. ”

I didn't expect the middle-aged man's face to change: "Yue'er is not allowed to go to the imperial examination again, and our Jiang family's children and grandchildren are not allowed to touch the temple from now on!"

Where did Madam think that the middle-aged man was so resolute, and sighed: "Master, aren't you broken Yue'er and our Jiang family's glory and wealth!"

The middle-aged man lifted the curtain of the car, pointed to the high peaks on both sides of the official road and said, "I am willing to do that strong order, because my Jiang family refuses to bow their heads." The imperial court is no longer a place where the ministers can stay, if there is another person from my Jiang family who enters the court, if he does not bow his head, he is doomed to have no good end, and if he bows his head, he is not worthy of being a descendant of my Jiang family! If the two are not satisfied, it is better to stay away from the temple, and my descendants of Jiang Yue would rather go to the mountains to cultivate and participate in meditation than be allowed to contact the affairs of the imperial court again!"

"Okay, you're the master, you have the final say!" Madame breathed a sigh of relief and didn't say anything more.

Suddenly, there was a lot of noise outside the car, Jiang Yue patted the car door and asked, "Fu Bo, what's the matter?"

The person who drove the car was about sixty or seventy years old, and it was Fu Bo in Jiang Yue's mouth, and he replied: "Master, the gods on the opposite mountain have descended, and the subordinates and maids are kowtowing." ”

"Immortals?" said a child's crisp voice happily, "Father, I also want to worship the immortals, and ask the immortals to make me stronger, so that my mother will worry less about me." ”

After speaking, I saw the curtain of the car door flicker, and a young man about ten years old jumped out of the car, followed by the middle-aged Jiang Yue and his wife. The young man is indeed weak and weak, he should have been sick since he was a child, although his face is ruddy, his lips are as white as paper, and his temples are sunken, as if he is deficient in yang energy.

As far as the eyes of the servants of the subordinates looked, a fairy palace appeared between the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain, with thousands of bricks and jade tiles, and thousands of rui qi! Occasionally, there were one or two inconspicuous streamers flying without a trace.

"Father, is it really a fairy!" The young man focused his eyes on the fairyland on the mountain, wanting to see if any fairy would really jump out and let him see it with his own eyes.

Jiang Yue smiled slightly and said, "This is just a mirage, not an immortal." ”

"Mirage?" the boy looked at his father suspiciously.

Jiang Yue waved his hand to let Xia Ren and the maids get up and not kneel, and explained: "Mirage, a legendary insect that can spit out mirage on foggy days and conjure up fairyland divine light, which makes people intoxicated. But these are just illusions, they can't be true, besides, where are the gods in this world so easy to meet. ”

The maids and little Si were called up by the master, and a few people close to hurriedly hugged the little master back into the car, Fu Bo shook the whip, made a soft sound of "pop", and then said: "Master get in the car, I said, how can the gods show up to show us mortals, let's hurry, it is estimated that we will be able to reach the capital city at noon, so that the reception can meet." ”

"Okay, let's all keep going. Jiang Yue and his wife climbed into the car, and the convoy rushed towards the capital city at the end of the road.

However, when the convoy went away, the fairyland on the mountain suddenly disappeared in a flash, and a middle-aged man dressed in a dark robe appeared on the mountain, and it turned out to be a constantly changing colored divine light under his feet, floating in the air! He untied a golden gourd from his waist with his right hand, and with a shake of his left hand, he stuffed a finger-thick white fat worm into the golden gourd, and when the fat worm left the palm of the middle-aged man, the sky appeared in the fairyland again, but after a short breath, the insect disappeared at the mouth of the gourd, and the fairyland also disappeared.

"I've been chasing you for half a month, and I finally can't escape this time!" The middle-aged man held up the gourd and blew slightly, and saw that the golden-skinned gourd suddenly became transparent, and a white fat worm inside swallowed the clouds and spit out mist, and all kinds of glow on his body flickered.

Laughing, the middle-aged man tied the golden-skinned gourd to his belt, looked in the direction where the convoy left, and said to himself: "The mirage chased the yin, and ran in this direction for three days, it seems that there are rare people born in the lunar year." It's a blessing for you to be able to live past the age of eight! I want to see who this mirage is looking for, and if you can, you don't have to worry about food for the mirage! Hahahaha!"

The middle-aged man flicked his sleeves, and the divine light under his feet paused, and flew towards Xudu with a little bit of green energy.

At this moment, the city of Xudu is the most lively time, at the beginning of the Qingming Ghost Festival, Xudu as the world's recognized ghost capital, the city is full of rituals to worship ghosts, even the Shuzhong Taishou of the capital city put on a black robe, and worshiped four or five ghosts in succession. The so-called Taoist priests in the city who are robed and crowned with clouds also walk in the streets and alleys, swaggering and deceiving.

A subordinate of the Taishou in Shuzhong trotted into the Fuyue Temple, and lay next to the ear of the Taishou Li Sunyang and said: "My lord, the new Shuzhong Guards have already arrived at the gate of the city, and we don't have any welcome measures, isn't this bad?"

Li Sunyang is about fifty years old, and he has reached the top of the position of the Taishou in Shuzhong, so he naturally has no idea of climbing up, so he doesn't stammer or ask about things, anyway, the court in Shuzhong may not ask once in three or four years. For any officials who have been demoted here, Li Sunyang will ignore them and do what he wants, otherwise the place where Li Sunyang has been running for more than ten years is not so easy to come and go.

Waving his hand, he said: "The old rule, let him find a place to settle down by himself, it's Halloween, don't deal with political affairs." ”

"Yes!" the subordinate bowed his head in response, and was about to withdraw, not wanting a military attache to stride in, and suddenly knocked this thin little guy who had always been a civilian official into the air and screamed miserably.

"What's wrong?" asked Li Sunyang anxiously.

"My lord!" The military attache didn't even look at the people on all fours on the ground, and bowed to Li Sunyang and said: "My lord, three families have died in a row in the north of the city, a total of 28 people! All of them have been drained of blood, and the internal organs of several children are missing! They all say that this is the work of ghosts, and now there are rumors in Beicheng, and people are panicking. ”

Li Sunyang frowned obviously when he heard that the child's internal organs were missing, this is definitely not an ordinary murder or something, maybe it is really a ghost or something that is harming in the city. After thinking for a while, he instructed: "Sun Shouyi, the new guards are all guarding Jiang or something, take him directly to the north of the city, and let him find out this matter, otherwise the official handover will not be arranged! When you come here, you have to hand in a letter of resignation, and the death of offending the demons and monsters will not involve our capital city." ”

The civil official called Sun Shouyi hurriedly got up and agreed: "Yes, yes!"

One article, one martial artist and two officials left the Floating Moon Temple, and Li Sunyang continued to worship ghosts, and what was enshrined in the main hall of the Floating Moon Temple turned out to be the black-faced and fanged Hades!

The guards at the gate of the city gate of the capital were released, and the convoy of the Jiang Yue family was able to come in, and at this moment, the entire city of the city suddenly became cold for three minutes, and several Taoist priests who were swaggering and deceiving trembled, and looked up at the sky, the original golden sun turned pale unconsciously, and the temperature of the sunlight was gone, which made the air begin to fill the air with a dry and cold smell.

"Damn, it's a gloomy day, bad luck!" These swaggering Taoist priests put away their food and things one after another, and ran out of the city without stopping for a moment, and when they looked back, the city seemed to be shrouded in a large cloud of dark red light, and it was terrifying! An old Taoist priest who was about seventy years old trembled and took out a triangular Taoist talisman from his arms, and a red mark came into his eyes, and he was suddenly frightened: "The Taoist sect is on top! The gloom covers the sky, and I am afraid that no one will survive in this city, and it is important to escape!" After saying that, he grabbed a handful of dirt and scattered it and disappeared into a whirlwind.

"The Qi Sect Wind Escape Technique, the three-legged cat kung fu is skilled. The middle-aged man who caught the mirage before stood at the gate of the city, glanced at the direction where the old Taoist priest left, and looked at the city with curiosity: "Yin and sha, I don't know which old immortal buried **** array, this happened to meet the **** physique person, the yin qi collided into the yin and covered the sky, and the old immortal lifted a stone and hit his own feet!

Jiang Yue's convoy was not led to the post station, but was directly taken to a street in the north of the city, and the civil official Sun Shou who led the way: "Lord Jiang, my family Taishou asked you to investigate this case before taking office, and the officials from the capital, the investigation must be no problem?"

Jiang Yue understood at a glance that this was a dilemma, and the Taishou of Shuzhong took the clueless case as a dismount, and did not find out and did not give him a job, so as to suppress the momentum of the Beijing officials. There was no way, the person had to bow his head under the eaves, sighed and nodded and walked into the house tightly surrounded by officers and soldiers.

However, the scene inside the mansion made Jiang Yue tumble in his abdomen at the first sight, and he couldn't hold it and spit it out, almost exhausting all the bile!

This courtyard is only a dozen square meters, but there are seven people lying in the corners of the courtyard, all of them seem to have been drained of the essence of the body, and the people have become dried corpses. There were also two children whose stomachs were dissected, and there were no internal organs inside, and the blood was scattered all over the ground, showing an abnormal black and red color.

"This, this ......" Jiang Yue's anecdotes have seen a lot, but this kind of sensational death is really the first time to see it, if it was done by a person, this person must be crazy and inhumane!

"Lord Jiang, cough, this case is up to you, my family is too guarded to wait for the results of your investigation tomorrow. Sun Shouyi covered his mouth and ran away, he should have found a place to vomit.
