At this time, the two carriages rushed out of the Luoyang Palace, one after the other, and rushed towards the southern city. In the carriage, Xu Zekai and Ji Ruochen sat opposite each other, both of them looked solemn, frowned, and were silent. There was an oppressive silence in the carriage.

The car window was open, and an ancient tree suddenly came into Ji Ruochen's sight, and a baby face was born on the tree, crying to itself. It made eye contact with Ji Ruochen, suddenly stopped its sorrow, opened its eyes, and smiled at Ji Ruochen. It's just that there are no pupils in one of its eyes, they are a pair of empty pupils with blurred flesh and blood!

Ji Ruochen had a handsome face, unmoved, and looked directly at the baby with an expressionless expression, until Gu Mu disappeared from the car window, and then withdrew his gaze.

Suddenly there was a terrible scream of a baby before death came from the back of the carriage, and the baby's face on the ancient wood tree seemed to have suffered great pain, and struggled desperately, and after a while, it broke free from the tree alive, and fell to the ground with bloody muscles. As soon as the flesh touched the sun, it sneered and smoked on the spot, and the stench overflowed, and in the blink of an eye, it was burned into a mass of char. However, the ancient tree left a large blood hole on its body, and from time to time a line of blood spurted outward.

In the carriage, Xu Zekai said in admiration: "Uncle Ji's concentration is really good! This baby was born from the filthy qi of Huangquan, although it is not very powerful, but it is very troublesome, and it really takes a lot of Dao power to destroy it." Uncle Shi's heart was unmoved, so that its filthy qi had nowhere to fall, and it devoured itself. This kung fu of breaking the enemy invisibly really makes Ze Kai admire!"

Ji Ruochen turned his head, and there was no trace of any color on his face. He stared at Xu Zekai, thoughtful, and said after a while: "Mr. Zekai, your admiring kung fu is also very powerful in turning the enemy invisibly!"

Xu Zekai smiled and said, "Uncle Shi smiled." Flattery is a compulsory study in secular affairs, no matter how virtuous and learned you are, flattery will be heard a lot, and you will slowly believe it to be true. It is the same as the cultivation of the Tao, and the gist of it is in one constant word. Uncle Shi's identity is respected, and there will be no less flattery in the future, Ze Kai is just demonstrating it to Uncle Shi at this time. ”

Ji Ruochen thought for a moment, and said, "Thank you for your advice." ”

At this time, the carriage stopped in front of a dead tree by Luoshui, Xu Zekai stepped out of the carriage, groped around the ancient tree carefully, and returned to the carriage with a helpless face after a while, sat down dejectedly, and sighed heavily.

Ji Ruochen glanced at the dead tree, his eyebrows were also furrowed, and his face was solemn.

The carriage set off again, Xu Zekai was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Uncle Shi, the water escape in the Taiyi Five Elements Escape has become invalid, and I don't think there is much hope for the only remaining fire escape." Now that the siege of Luoyang has been completed, the internal and external breath is isolated, and the entire eastern capital has become a dead land. If Huo Dun also loses its effectiveness, Ze Kai will have no way to transmit the message back to the sect. In the course of these days, I am afraid that we will have to defend ourselves on our own. ”

Ji Ruochen frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on, how did Luoyang, which is so innocent, become such a Jedi?"

Xu Zekai said carefully: "More than a month ago, the qi of Luoyang Huanglong rushed straight to Xiao Han, and the main saint and divine object will be born here. At that time, I calculated that tomorrow night when the qi veins of all directions converge, it should be the time when all beasts come to make a pilgrimage and saints and gods appear in the world. Unexpectedly, in the past few days, Luoyang's qi has changed sharply, and the signs of troubled times have appeared frequently. When the siege was over this morning, the filthy breath of Huangquan was now extended to the whole city, and the eastern capital suddenly became a Jedi. All these things, when the Lord is a demon of the abyss, he will appear in the world tomorrow and bring disaster to the world. However, Zekai's feng shui physiognomy is not refined, and I don't know if it is accurate. ”

Ji Ruochen was silent, recalling the classics he had read in the past, which contained many details in the world's demons and evils, but in the place of Huangquan, he was vague. It is only said that the evil demons are all from under the nine places, and there is a foreign body record in the three halal recipes left by Guangchengzi, which divides the demons of the nine places into three products, according to the bottom and the top, respectively, with the name of the abyss, the yellow spring, and the nine shadows, and it is said that the demon of the abyss is chaotic in a country, and the demon of the yellow spring is in chaos in the world, and the living beings are devastated. And if the Nine Shadows Demon is born, it will be a landslide and tsunami, rain and red flames, and plasma gushing from the ground.

Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of a small temple. Xu Zekai got out of the car and entered the temple, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that the bright yellow candle in front of the statue had been extinguished for a long time, and he was stunned. He stood there for a moment, then smiled bitterly, shook his head dejectedly, turned around and got into the car, and ordered to go back to the Luo Palace.

The carriage set off slowly.

Xu Zekai was silent for a moment, Fang smiled bitterly, and said to Ji Ruochen: "Senior uncle, for today's plan, we can only guard the Luo Wangfu and wait for the evil demon to be born." Uncle Shi went to the palace, Zekai went back to the palace first, and when he got the magic weapon, he went through the Huiyuan to decorate. ”

Ji Ruochen nodded, lost in thought. After a while, he suddenly asked: "I see that Wang Ye Li's hands are stained with blood, his eyebrows are blue and black, and there seems to be a ghost behind him, day and night. If we defend the Luo Wangfu, will we instead fall into the net?"

Xu Zekai was taken aback, stared at Ji Ruochen for a long time, and then sighed and said, "Uncle Shi still doesn't know the reason. The three fierce stars of Prince Li's palace gathered, and they were murderous, which was the appearance of such a great murderer. In the winter of last year, Li Chong, who was the king of Luoyang at the time, suddenly fell ill and died, and Li Wang Ye was the younger brother of Li Chong, who was loved by the Ming Emperor and took the throne. But since Uncle Shi asked, Zekai didn't dare to hide it. In fact, Li Chong did not die of illness, but he occasionally felt a cold that day, Li Wangye entered the palace at night, after a fierce battle, Li Chong's seven great fangshi were all killed, and he himself was poured by Li Wangye himself with a pot of ice soaking dew, and the five organs turned into snow, and he died on the spot. Li Wangye reported that Li Chong was busy due to the wind and cold, and he was liked by the Ming Emperor, so he took the prince. ”

For a while, Ji Ruochen seemed to see the scene of brothers killing each other on that snowy night. He was silent for a moment, and Fang asked, "Mr. Zekai, then you know all about this matter?"

Xu Zekai said: "That night, three exotic monks died at my hands. If it weren't for the merit of supporting it, it would not have been so valued by Prince Li. ”

Ji Ruochen glanced at Xu Zekai, and saw that his face and smile did not change, and he sighed secretly at the moment, and said: "In this way, the ghost behind the prince should be Li Chong's resentful soul." Why don't you get rid of it?"

Xu Zekai said: "Prince Li is really a wise and brave person. He knew that his dead brother Yin Spirit would not retreat, but he didn't let me wait for the spell to cast, saying that Li Chong couldn't do anything to him when he was alive, and he could still make trouble after death? In fact, the fierce stars of Prince Li's palace gathered, and he was not afraid of the entanglement of ghosts. ”

When Ji Ruochen was silent, Xu Zekai sighed again: "I really didn't expect that Uncle Shi had a discerning eye and could see through the fate of the world's human body and palace! No wonder the nine real people have a good eye for Uncle Shi!"

Ji Ruochen didn't answer silently, just stared at his hands. Under his gaze, the carriage suddenly darkened, and only his long, powerful hands lit up with a soft glow. In that crystal skin, a little vermilion suddenly appeared, and then this vermilion became more and more viscous, and gradually oozing out of the skin, it was a little blood!

The blood swirled and dissolved, spreading along the back of his hand, and more blood seeped out from under the skin, and in the blink of an eye, Ji Ruochen's hands were already dripping with blood.

Ji Ruochen sighed secretly, withdrew his gaze, and returned to his original state with his hands.

At this moment, his heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly shouted, "Stop!" A true yuan naturally erupted, and his body suddenly became a thousand pounds. The two horses pulling the cart neighed for a while, and the man stood up, his iron hooves stepping on the ground several times, but he could not move the car one step further.

Ji Ruochen pulled the car window and looked out. The carriage happened to stop at a T-junction, and the window was facing a wide and deep alley, with bluestone paving in the alley, and the bearing was extraordinary. At a glance, there are only a few households in Ruochang Alley, which is obviously a rich place.

Ji Ruochen frowned slightly, and said to Xu Zekai: "Where is this?"

Xu Zekai glanced at it and said: "This is Tongchuan Lane, which is where the nobles live." ”

Ji Ruochen hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

The carriage then turned and drove into the alley.

In the carriage, Ji Ruochen's eyes were closed, and his face became more and more pale. Suddenly, his eyes widened and he shouted, "Stop!"

This time, the coachman had already prepared, and he was not driving fast, but when he heard this, he immediately reined in, and the carriage immediately stopped.

Ji Ruochen opened the window of the car again and looked out, and saw that the carriage stopped at the door of a mansion in a dignified manner. The gate of this house is wider than the ordinary mansion, the vermilion lacquer painted door, the brass is nailed, the door is two basin-sized ring unicorn heads, and the front steps of the door are squatted on both sides of a green jade purple tiger, which is not an ordinary person.

"Where is this?" asked Ji Ruochen.

Xu Zekai glanced out, and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi has no mortal in his eyes. There were two concubines in this Luo Mansion, and if you push it carefully, Yang Xiang of the Dynasty is actually from Luo Mansion. Therefore, the Sacred Grace is already a first-class family in the world. There were originally three families on this side of Tongchuan Lane, and now the other two have already ceded their homestead land to the Luo family, so there is today's atmosphere. Uncle Shi's eyes are incomparable, didn't he see something?"

At this time, the two carriages stopped at the gate of the mansion, which had already attracted the attention of the four guards. An old man who looked like a housekeeper coughed, greeted him, and arched his hand: "Which gentleman in the palace is driving?"

Although this housekeeper is a subordinate, he is full of confidence, and he is neither humble nor arrogant in the face of the carriage with the mark of Luoyang Palace, which shows the power of this Luofu mansion.

Xu Zekai asked, "Uncle Shi, do you want to visit Luofu? Now there are only the old lady and a few young masters and young ladies in Luofu. ”

Ji Ruochen immediately shook his head.

Xu Zekai stepped out of the car and said with a smile: "Don't come to Steward Li, I'm just passing by today, and I'll say hello to Steward Li by the way." ”

When Steward Li saw that it was Xu Zekai, he smiled all over his face, and arched his hand: "It turned out to be Mr. Zekai! Thanks to Mr. Zekai's assistance that day, the little girl's stubborn illness was cured, and I haven't thanked Mr. for this matter! Do you want to go to the house to sit?"

Xu Zekai said with a smile: "There is still a summons in the palace today, let's change the day!"

Steward Li said: "Yes, there have been many changes in Luoyang in the past few days, which has disturbed the old lady. At this time, the palace originally needed Mr. to perform the immortal method to determine the overall situation. It's just that after Mr. is busy, please go to the house. The old lady always said that she saw some lonely ghosts wandering around in the house, and asked her husband to resolve them when the time came. ”

Xu Zekai agreed, and then drove away.

Ji Ruochen sat in the car, his face was extremely pale, and his forehead was full of fine cold sweat, as if he had collapsed. It wasn't until the carriage left Tongchuan Lane that he felt a little better, so he asked weakly: "Mr. Zekai, you are about to enter the realm of Shangqing, this Luo family actually wants you to do some trivial things to exorcise ghosts and remove filth, how can you bear this breath?"

Xu Zekai said with a smile: "Uncle Shi, this is the difference between cultivation and secular affairs. In our opinion, these exorcisms and evil spirits are nothing more than a gesture, and more often than not, there are no evil or ghosts at all, and the seeker is just seeking peace of mind. But in the eyes of the Luo family, the old lady's peace of mind is a big thing. I'm just a gesture, but I sent a great favor to the Luo family, so why should I be angry? But after Uncle Shi turned around in front of the Luo Mansion, he looked very uncomfortable, is there anything that needs Ze Kai's service?"

Ji Ruochen smiled weakly and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." However, Luoyang has changed greatly, and Luofu doesn't seem to be affected much, so what's going on?"

Xu Zekai said: "The characteristic of Huangquan's filthy qi is to infect all things, especially the effect of devouring the aura of heaven and earth. Carved Luoyang's filthy atmosphere, all dead things have the meaning of demonization, but these little devils and monsters will only come to the cultivators, and ordinary people have no aura, so they will not be disturbed. ”

The carriage had arrived at the Luoyang Mansion after a while, and Xu Zekai was not polite, and went back to his house to pack up and prepare. Ji Ruochen also knew that the situation was urgent, and he had to make arrangements as soon as possible, so he went straight to his residence.
