Zhenguan twenty-three years, the first day of the second month.

Kai Ha Street is ten feet wide, but there are many pedestrians, but it seems a little crowded.

Walking on the street, all kinds of cries are endless.

A young man in cloth clothes sat alone in front of the window of a teahouse on the street, drinking hot tea and staring out the window in a daze.

The young man has starry eyebrows, extraordinary weapons, and a long sword on the table, like a martial arts knight.

A month has passed, and the matter of the demon star has been diluted a lot among the people, but in his ears, it has never been eliminated.

There is no other reason, just because he is a disciple of Lu Guogong Cheng Zhijie.

Natural disasters are coming, and the Tang King is in trouble. Such a big event, for Cheng Zhijie, who is the founding father of the country and has a lifelong friendship with Taizong, is definitely more important than his life.

The young man angrily slammed his fist on the table, secretly lamenting that he was incompetent and could not share his worries and labor for his master.

"Senior brother, so you're here!"

There was a soft cry from the door.

A young girl walked briskly.

This woman has a beautiful face, but there is a heroic spirit between her eyebrows that is not inferior to that of a man. She was dressed in green, glamorous and dazzling, and attracted everyone's attention as soon as she entered the teahouse.

When the originally depressed young man heard her voice, he immediately smiled, but his expression was quite helpless.

Wherever he went, she always found him.

The girl snorted softly, sat down across from him, and complained dissatisfiedly, "You won't take me when you run out to play." ”

"Where am I playing? The young man turned over the cup and poured a cup of tea for her, explaining, "The teahouse restaurant is well-informed, and I also want to collect information and share the worries of the master. ”

"Yes, yes, my brother is the most sensible and considerate of Master. The girl laughed at him, picked up the tea and took a sip.

The boy knew that he couldn't argue with her, so he simply didn't say more.

The two were silent for a while, and the people who were drinking tea and resting on the side looked away from them and continued their conversation.

"Alas, not only you Hanzhong, but also our Jiangzhou area has also begun to be haunted. A scribe wept with a sad face.

The merchant at the same seat looked surprised and said, "Jiangzhou is like this! I'm afraid that in the near future, even Chang'an will not be able to live in peace!"

"Not really. Alas, this ghost is more terrible than fighting. If we want to talk about war, at least there is an army that can protect us, but even the imperial court has no way to do this ghostly thing. ”

Everyone laughed wryly.

The two people by the window looked at each other, and their faces were embarrassed.

"He Shaoxia, He Shaoxia!"

Suddenly, a man dressed as an official broke into the teahouse and went straight to the window for the two of them.

"He Shaoxia, oh, Chen Nuxia is also there. On the order of Lu Guogong, he asked He Shaoxia to go to the Hanyuan Hall in the imperial city immediately, saying that he was summoned by the emperor. ”

"Your Majesty?" He Chou was slightly surprised.

"What's the matter?" asked Chen Junru.

"The lowly office is only here to preach, and I don't know what the humble position is. ”

"Well, I'll go now, I've worked hard for you, you can go back first. ”

"Then the lowly post will be retired first. ”

The official quit the teahouse.

The two looked at each other, dropped a piece of broken silver, and left. Leave everyone with a look of surprise.

Qixia Street is really not close to the imperial city, and the two of them borrowed horses to hurry, and it took almost two quarters of an hour to arrive.

"Senior brother, the emperor and the master summoned you together, there must be something important. ”

He Chou was noncommittal and replied: "Probably." Maybe it's something about me and I need to do something. ”

"Then if you can go out to play, my brother can't leave me. Chen Junru bent her eyebrows and said with a smile.

The boy was helpless.

During the conversation, the two trotted all the way along Suzaku Street, and soon arrived in front of Hanyuan Palace.

The chamberlain who guarded the door went in to report it, and after a while summoned the two men.

Walking into the main hall, the two of them knelt down on one knee and said, "The grass people are so sad (the people's daughter Chen Junru) see the emperor." ”

"Flatten. Taizong's tone was gentle.

The two of them got up, looked left and right, and were stunned.

It turned out that they were not only the emperor and Lu Guogong, but also the heavenly supervisor Li Chunfeng, the alien Yuan Tiangang, and the prime minister Shangguanyi. If you don't guess wrong, there must be a Wei Chi Jingde at the door behind them.

In such a battle, it is really strange that two juniors under twenty were summoned.

"Ugly, they're your men, or you're here. Taizong said.

"Yes. Cheng Zhijie bowed.

A month has passed, the emperor is worried, he has aged a little, Lu Guogong is anxious, but there is nothing he can do.

"Chou'er, I called you over this time because I have a very important matter for you to do. ”

He Chou didn't ask, and waited quietly for the master to come.

"For a month, Heaven Supervisor and Yuan Immortal Master have been calculating the Demon Star Change. Combined with the recent rumors of ghosts and monsters in various places, there are finally some eyebrows. Heavenly Master, you know this matter best, so let's talk to them first. ”

Li Chunfeng nodded, stroked his beard and said slowly: "My family teacher and I used the method of three changes to repeatedly calculate seven seven and forty-nine times, and finally calculated that the change of the demon star is the bane left over from ancient times. That demon star is actually an ancient fierce beast, named 'Qiqi'. Qiqi didn't know where he came from, and after the stars changed that night, there was no sound.

Now that the ghosts are in trouble, I have deduced it several times, and finally realized that this matter is related to Qiqi. As for the specifics, my path is limited, and I really can't figure it out. ”

After listening to the words, He Chou only felt that he was in a fog, and he didn't understand what this had to do with him.

Cheng Zhijie saw that he was puzzled, so he explained: "Since it is a ghost, there are naturally ghosts. After so many days, the ghost disaster has not only not improved, but has intensified, and I think something big must have happened. Chou'er, if you are here today, it is a very important and difficult task entrusted to you, and you may even be in danger of your life. Are you willing to do it?"

He Chou nodded firmly and replied: "The apprentice can have today, all thanks to the master." If I can share my worries for the master, I will go to the soup and go to the fire, and I will not give up the knife mountain oil pot!"

"Master, what the hell is going on?" Hearing that the senior brother's life might be in danger, Chen Junru immediately panicked.

"It's easy to say, just ask your senior brother to meet the king of Hades, ask the reason for the ghost's trouble, and ask him to send a ghost to collect the ghost. ”

"What!" Chen Junru exclaimed, and said hurriedly: "No! You can't kill Senior Brother!"

He Chou was also full of horror, but he was much calmer than his junior sister. In any case, it is impossible for the Master to kill himself for no reason. And Fang Cai only said that his life was in danger, not that he was directly killed.

"Senior sister, don't be like this, Master must still have something to say. He grabbed the shoulders of the junior sister who was standing in front of him and pulled her to his side.

"Senior brother~" Jun Ru was in a hurry, and was about to say something, but was blocked by He Chou's serious eyes. She stood obediently beside her senior brother, her mouth pursed high.

"You, you're really concerned. I worked hard to raise you for the teacher, how can I be willing to kill you?" Cheng Zhijie glanced at Junru with a smile and said, "Letting your senior brother go to see the king of Hades is not to kill him. Instead, let him go to Fengdu, pass through the ghost cave of hell, cross the ghost gate, and go to the hell to meet the king of Hades. ”

"This ...... That's right. Chen Junru's face flushed, remembering her gaffe, and she was still in front of the emperor, she really wanted to dig a hole in the ground.

He Chou secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time had a little more doubts, so he asked: "But Master, everyone in the world knows that the ghost gate is closed in Fengdu, but few people can enter. Presumably, the ghost gate shouldn't be so easy to get into, right?"

"With the help of the poor road, it is not a problem to close the ghost door. Yuan Tiangang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

He walked up to He Chou and danced the dust in his hand, while drawing a strange shape with his left hand.

"Edict!"

Yuan Tiangang pointed his finger at He Chou's eyebrows, and then retreated to his original position.

I saw him smile heartily and said: "With this infinite talisman, don't talk about going to the ground, even if it is heaven, it is not difficult." ”

Looking at He Chou again, there was an extra golden talisman on his eyebrows, but after a few breaths, the talisman disappeared. He touched his eyebrows, only to feel that there was nothing different except for a little warmth.

"Wait, this Daoist, can you draw one for me too?" said Chen Junru.

Yuan Tiangang closed his eyes and shook his head.

"Why! Senior Brother is too dangerous to go alone, I want to go with him. ”

"There are naturally many restrictions on traveling to and from the Three Realms, and you can't just go if you want to. Li Chunfeng explained for the master.

Chen Junru stomped her foot dissatisfied, her small mouth pursed higher.

"The Infinity Talisman has been drawn, and you can't go if you don't go. Cheng Zhijie patted He Chou's shoulder and said, "This trip is a long way, and there are many demons and monsters along the way, you should be cautious." This sword was obtained from the court of the former dynasty, so I will give it to you as a self-defense. ”

"Green Frost"

He Chou touched the floating words on the scabbard, and felt a cold breath spread all over his body along his fingers.

"Thank you, Master. ”

Emperor Taizong smiled, took a purple jade pendant on the case, and said, "Shaoxia is going out for my Tang Dynasty, so naturally I can't be stingy." The name of this thing is 'Kunniao Huapeng', which is a treasure obtained from the dragon king after Wei Zheng slayed the dragon. If you wear it on your body, you can protect it from evil and from fire and water. ”

The jade pendant was like a ring, half like a fish, half like a bird.

"Your Majesty, Emperor. ”

He Chou respectfully took it and tied it around his waist.

"The stakes are high, and you leave as soon as possible. Be careful. Cheng Zhijie said.

He nodded, said goodbye to the emperor, master, and everyone, and then withdrew from the Hanyuan Palace.

"Senior brother, wait for me. ”

As soon as he walked not far away, he heard the shouts of his junior sister behind him.

He was helpless for a while, so he had to stop and wait for her.

"Senior brother, take me with you. Jun Ru's brows frowned slightly, and her expression was pitiful.

"I'm not here to play, it's dangerous on the road. ”

"It's because of the danger that I have to protect you!"

"Protect me?"

Rubbing her head, he said solemnly: "No, I said that I can't bring you with me this time." You're obediently staying at home, it's messy outside right now. Don't run around, listen to Master. You know what?"

Seeing that the coquettish was fruitless, Jun Ru pouted and nodded reluctantly.

"Also, don't follow me secretly. Senior brother will be back in two months at most. ”

The last bit of caution was also punctured, and she couldn't help crying and humming softly.

"That'...... I'm leaving. ”

He Chou finally pinched her face, turned around and strode away.

The palace was empty, and only the girl in green was left standing alone.
