Chapter 4 Xiao Ye asks the sky
Recently, a news circulated throughout Xishu, the ghost city of Xudu fell, the whole city became a ruin, the building collapsed and shattered the ruins, and the ground seemed to be swept by fire and rolling thunder, full of scorched black traces. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info more than 100,000 people in the city have all turned into white bones, there are Taoist priests from the tour side after passing by, and they are so shocked that they can't say a word, these hundreds of thousands of corpses, no one has a soul to get exceeded, this is a living sacrifice, Xishu will have a big devil to appear!
The news of the appearance of the demon in Xishu spread very quickly, and the news reached the capital in four days by rushing from the capital of Shu for 800 miles and a fast horse.
In the palace Taihe Palace, looking at the handwritten person wearing a bright yellow brocade robe, the five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on the robe is lifelike, and the gold and silver threads on the dragon boots under the feet are mixed into auspicious clouds, a total of five.
"The city of Xudu is destroyed, and he Li Sunyang has no news to report to me in advance?" The emperor's face changed several times, but his anger was overflowing.
"On the sage, the capital is too guarded by Li Sunyang......" The soldier who sent the letter was a little hesitant to say it.
The emperor snorted coldly: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go!"
"Yes! Taishou Li Sunyang has not heard from the city since the destruction of the city, and the general thinks that he has died together with the capital city. ”
"More than 100,000 people died for no reason, and I have been a country for a thousand years, but there is such a big thing? Natural and man-made disasters, there must always be a reason, a big city, destroyed for no reason, these generals under my command, Taishou, told me that I don't know what the reason, are you all eating dry rice? Do you want me to take off the black gauze hats of the officials in the entire Shu region and replace them with a batch of useful ones?" The emperor was furious, slapped the table and pointed at the officials in crimson official robes under the court.
When the dynasty was gold, the emperor enjoyed the golden yellow, followed by red, the first grade of the official crimson official robe, the second grade of the official Yin red official robe, the blue again the third grade to the fifth grade exclusive, the sixth to the ninth grade is the green robe, the nine grades of the officials who do not enter the stream, the official robes are all gray.
Under the court, a minister in a crimson official robe embroidered with a bright gold fish was holding a handful of silver silk dust, and he was listed at this moment: "The saint, the old minister has a performance in this matter." ”
As soon as the emperor looked at the person who spoke, his face immediately softened: "Elder Rong said." ”
Elder Rong, who was embroidered with goldfish in a crimson official robe, glanced at the ministers of the palace, waved his hand, and said, "Wait, retreat from the court, I will talk about this matter with the Holy Lord alone." ”
The officials in the main hall, you look at me, I look at you, and after a few breaths, they all knelt down and bowed: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, we have retreated!"
Occasionally, one or two old ministers wanted to say something, but before they could open their mouths, they were pulled away by other officials beside them, and after half a cup of tea, the hall was empty, leaving only the emperor and Rong Lao.
Raising his hand and bowing, Rong Lao said: "Holy Lord, let Lao Chen say more, this is not what we mortals do." ”
"What!" the emperor was shocked when he heard this, "Could it be that Rong Lao means that this is the work of the immortals?"
Rong Lao shook his head: "The world is the holy world, but the people in the world are not all holy people. This person who does not belong to the jurisdiction of the Holy Lord, there are seven major sects, four immortals and three demons. The four major sects of the Dao Gate, air, water, fire, and earth, and the three sects of the Demon Gate, devouring souls, ghosts, and blood. Cultivators take the road of ascending to immortals, and demon cultivators take the path of entering demons, and Xudu has always been a ghost city, closest to the ghost world, where demon cultivators go. ”
The emperor's eyes began to shine, it was the first time he had heard of this kind of thing involving immortals and demons, what he thought was distant and unattainable before, but today it suddenly happened to him, like a life-saving straw: "Cultivating immortals, people can really become immortals?"
Rong Lao nodded: "Cultivators and demon cultivators, as long as they cultivate to reach the seventh-grade great master, they will be able to peek through the heavens and soar to a higher world, there is a ghost world, there is an immortal world, and this person can naturally become an immortal." ”
"Hahahaha, no loss, no loss!" The emperor laughed suddenly, "100,000 people died, but let me know that there is a way to become immortals, these people die without loss, I want to thank them well! Hahaha, Rong Lao, you must also be a cultivator, otherwise, how can you do what I gave you!"
Rong Lao shook off the dust and said calmly: "The Holy Wise Minister, Lao Chen, is an outer disciple of the Water Sect, and was ordered by the head disciple of the Water Sect to protect the Holy Lord and maintain the royal luck. ”
The emperor hurriedly walked down, held Rong Lao's hand and asked, "I want to cultivate, I want to become an immortal, I want to live forever!"
Elder Rong nodded, and said with a smile: "Holy Lord, the old minister said today that he wants to lead you into the immortal gate, and when you are successful in cultivating immortals, this immortality is naturally not a problem." Water Sect, it's an honor to welcome the entry of the human emperor, it's an honor!"
Thousands of miles away in the hinterland of Xishu, on top of a mountain peak, a middle-aged man in Xuanyi held a gourd, and in the translucent gourd, the mirage seemed to be fattened again, and the clouds in the gourd began to fluoresce faintly.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man looked up at the sky, the Big Dipper was very dazzling hanging on the zenith, on the other side far away from the Big Dipper, the five golden stars trembled suddenly, and then the starlight weakened slightly, but the light of one of the Big Dipper stars was slightly enhanced, and the original green light faintly had a golden light.
The middle-aged man's face sank, he stood up and stared at the sky tightly, and snorted coldly: "If you want to take the true dragon luck, you have such a big guts! It seems that not only the Demon Dao is not honest, but the Four Great Dao Sects are also beginning to be dishonest." How can Emperor Xing be so easy to get along, there are borrowed and repaid, dare to take the true dragon luck, what do you want to pay back?"
The middle-aged man's last cold snort was a little loud, waking up Xiao Jiang Guyue, who was sleeping not far from him, and saw the middle-aged man in Xuanyi holding a gourd, subconsciously retracting his hand, and there were two bite marks on his wrists that were the size of needles.
"Awake?" The voice of the middle-aged man in Xuanyi came, Xiao Jiang Guyue's body trembled, and he walked over and said, "Stretch out your hand." ”
Xiao Jiang Guyue pursed his lips, turned his head and stretched out his hand, the middle-aged man took his hand and came to the mouth of the gourd, only to see the mirage in the gourd crawl out with its fat body, and stretched out a hair-thin needle from the head, and inserted it into Jiang Guyue's wrist with a "bang", sucking blood!
After about three bites, the middle-aged man bounced the mirage back into the gourd with one finger, turned his head and saw Jiang Guyue, who was very scared with his eyes closed, and took out a black pill from his arms with an expressionless face, and stuffed it into Jiang Guyue's mouth.
Tie the gourd to his waist, the middle-aged man fanned his sleeves, and Xiao Jiang Guyue took off with him, flying towards the southwest, thousands of meters above the ground.
Jiangyang County, because of its location on the bank of the Yangtze River, most of the people in the county rely on the Yangtze River to live, fishing, sand mining and transportation are the three major gangs in Jiangyang County. Among them, there are more than 30 large and small boats in the fishing gang and 17 boats in the sand gang, but there are many boats and more than 100 boats transporting goods, but there are only more than 20 boats that stay in Jiangyang all the year round. There is no conflict in what the three gangs do in their daily lives, so there is no contradiction, but since the Yun Gang lost more than 30 boats in a row in the upper mountain gorge within a month, the Yun Gang wondered if the Sand Gang and the Fishing Gang had jointly hacked themselves, and they lost more than 30 boats and more than 100 people in a month, which was a situation that had never been encountered before.
"Helper, I'll go to Sha Laosi and give us an explanation!" A strong man with a scar on his face was about to go out with a Mo knife.
"Come back!" The man sitting on the main seat in the room roared: "Liu Dao, you sit down for me, impulse has a fart, you don't have to do anything when you go to Sha Laosi alone, his evil Jiao Sun Erlong can chop you up, how capable do you think you are!"
Liu Dao roared angrily and threw the knife to the ground: "It's really fucking aggrieved! My old Liu family is counting on my younger brother to inherit the lineage, and he died before he gave birth to a son, I can't let him die in vain!"
A tall and thin man sitting next to him on the lower left hand sneered: "As far as your brother's ability is concerned, he has given birth to six daughters, how can he have the ability to give birth to a son." ”
"Wang Mazi, you're looking for death!" Liu Dao suddenly became anxious, and he was about to beat Wang Mazi, who was talking a lot, with his fists clenched, but Wang Mazi lifted his foot and kicked him on his leg, and he stumbled and fell not lightly.
"Okay, don't make trouble, our more than 100 brothers are not cold, you can laugh!" The leader of the Yun Gang glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "I suspect that this is not that simple, even if the Sand Gang and the Fishing Gang plan carefully, it is impossible to make more than 30 of my boats without showing any traces, and besides, it will not do them any good to do this." Now, in order to find out what is going on, I have decided that I will take the boat myself and set off tonight, and I will see who is responsible. ”
Just when everyone wanted to say something to follow, the door of the house was pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing a dark robe with a gourd hanging from his waist walked into the house, followed by a timid child of about ten years old.
The Xuanyi man came in and said: "If you go again or die, can't you see such a simple thing, over there in the mountain gorge, I'm gone." “
"Go Jiao!"
"Go Jiao!"
"Go Jiao!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, as a person who has been eating on the river all his life, what does it mean, they can't be unclear, but no one has ever seen it, and legend has it that the people who have seen it have turned into bones and sunk to the bottom of the river, and there is no possibility of survival.
"Who are you?" asked the gang leader as not as flustered as his subordinates, but stared at the Xuanyi man.
Before the middle-aged man in Xuanyi could speak, the child behind him stretched out his head and whispered: "You call him Xiao Ye, he likes people to call him Xiao Ye." “
