ghost scene

"I have some conjectures." The old general nodded and said, "The demon clan who fought Jiang Lie is the nine-tailed demon fox. The nine-tailed demon fox who can cultivate to the third-rank realm in the world is probably the person from Qingqiu. up.

As for the sword cultivator, I don't know, he was wearing black clothes and was tightly wrapped.However, I have some doubts about one thing, that is, the power of the sword cultivator's fourth sword is much worse than the first three swords.

It can be said that he was almost exhausted after using the first three swords.This is a bit strange. It is estimated that the strength of the realm is only the middle level of the third rank.

At the beginning, I couldn't distinguish the remaining third-rank peak cultivator, but later, a second-rank celestial cultivator will be late in the future.

I believe you, Mr. Chu, have also seen this. The power of the blood palm that reaches the sky is terrifying, and it feels like it carries a little power of the domain in it. "

Chu Zheng nodded, obviously seeing the attack of the second-rank Heavenly Man Realm from a distance.It was just a guess at first, but now that General Wei has explained it, it must be a second-rank monk.

"To tell you the truth, under that bloody palm, I would have died ten times, but the cultivator at the peak of the third rank led the sword cultivator to run away with amazing evasion techniques, and finally escaped.

Although it was because the master of the White Horse Temple came in person in the end, he stopped the second-rank celestial being and prevented him from messing around here.But the cultivator at the peak of the third rank can do this after all, plus the tentative fight with Aguli before.

I can be sure with a high probability that she is the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect.The only one who can have such a subtle escapism in the third-rank realm is the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect. "

Chu Zheng narrowed his eyes again, and in the end it was Tianhu from the White Lotus Sect and Qingqiu who made the move, as well as an unknown peerless swordsman.

The relationship between the eight poles can't be hit together, how could they join forces to attack Nanyang Shizi here?Chu Zheng was confused for a while, and couldn't figure out the logical relationship inside.

Putting these aside for the time being, he asked again, "Who is the eminent monk from the White Horse Temple here?"

General Wei shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't made a move under the Buddha's light, so I can't see clearly. But it's probably that Master Kongru.

After all, I only know that Master Kongru of the White Horse Temple is a second-rank celestial being. "

Chu Zheng was a little confused again, because Ke Zhenbang was not there?Didn't the old man say that if there are second-rank monks, he will make a move.

Whatever came to mind, a figure fell straight from the sky towards this direction, as fast as a meteor.In an instant, he was in front of Chu Zheng.

The latter was taken aback, and when he saw that it was Ke Zhenbang who was here, he cupped his fists slightly, "Elder Ke."

"I sensed that another second rank here made a move, and hurried over. What's the situation? Where's the person?" Ke Zhenbang looked around, and finally stared at the place where the bloody palm appeared just now.

"Kongru also came just now?"

"I've seen Elder Ke." General Wei was also taken aback, and he clasped his fists respectfully and said, "Elder Ke, the second-rank celestial being with Nanyang has already left. back."

"Leaving?" Ke Zhenbang patted his head annoyed, "I've been fooled,"

Chu Zheng also keenly grasped the key words, and asked, "Elder Ke, was there a second-rank monk before?"

"Yeah." Ke Zhenbang nodded, "I thought that the ghostly second-rank monk was invited by Nanyang, so I took her to drink tea above the sea of ​​clouds.

I never wanted to be fooled.Blame my carelessness, I didn't expect two people to come.How are you doing here?I think life and death orders have been issued, so that boy Yu Gan didn't come here? "

"No." Chu Zheng shook his head, and then briefly explained the situation to Ke Zhenbang.

After hearing this, Ke Zhenbang curled his lips, "That second-rank monk is probably quite capable, but I haven't seen him before, so I'll have to look for him when I have a chance.

And the sword cultivator of the third-rank realm found it and told me.Such a powerful swordsman is rare. "

After speaking, Ke Zhenbang disappeared and left directly.

He did not express any views or opinions on Zhu Chen's death and the like.It is certain that the people from Nanyang are gone, so there is no need for him here.After all, the identity of a second-rank monk is still too sensitive.

All he wanted to do now was to go to Kong Ru and ask the level of that second-rank evil cultivator.

Chu Zheng and General Wei watched Ke Zhenbang leave before looking back.

Chu Zheng didn't say a word, but just looked at the traces of fighting skills left in the air, especially those tenacious sword spirits that lingered for a long time.

At this time, the bottom began to be lively.

Just now, the impact of Yugan's battle and their battle has naturally attracted great attention. Those Longzuo and Longyou armies who were originally waiting in the rear now, under the leadership of their respective generals, trekked across mountains and rivers to the place where they fought.

When these soldiers saw that the formerly lush vegetation had now turned into loess, many small hills were even directly razed to the ground.

The ground is even more criss-crossed, leaving traces of spells and sword energy.

Especially those exaggerated traces of sword aura, the remnants of bitter sword aura are still exuding at this moment, those soldiers dare not move forward at all, they can't bear it.

They all stood there in shock. It was obvious that the individual battles that had just happened here had far exceeded their cognition.

These soldiers were ordered to disperse and guard the periphery of the fighting scene here.

After a while, several groups of people from other forces flew from the direction of Tai'an City.The main institutions in Tai'an City have all come here.

On the side of Dali Temple, Ji Cheng took the lead and led a group of deacons from Dali Temple to stop in front of Chu Zheng.

The people from Monster Catch Hall and Qin Tianjian immediately investigated the scene without any delay.

Chu Zheng glanced at Ji Cheng, and said lightly, "Zhu Chen was beheaded."

Surprise burst into Ji Cheng's eyes, and he couldn't help asking, "Who did it."

Chu Zheng didn't answer this question, but just asked, "Do you know what the death order in Dali Temple means?"

Ji Cheng stared blankly, clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate is guilty, please punish Mr. Chu according to the regulations."

Chu Zheng waved his hand again, "Let's talk about the punishment later, you go to help investigate, don't let go of every inch of land, and see if you can find some useful traces."

"Yes." Ji Cheng clasped his fists to accept the order, and then led the people from Dali Temple to survey the area where the big battle happened just now.

Under the full investigation of the three forces of Dali Temple, the Temple of Catching Monsters, and Qin Tianjian, together with the witness testimony of General Wei, the great archer.

The battle just now was almost restored soon.

A fourth-grade sorcerer who is in charge of the Qin Tianjian stood up and clasped his fists at Chu Zheng, "Zhu Can and Jiang Lie were strangled by the sword energy, both physically and mentally annihilated.

Zhu Chen, the eldest son of Nanyang, was beheaded, and his body was taken away by Aguli and the mysterious second-rank celestial being in Nanyang.There were three snipers.

The female monk at the pinnacle of the third rank was determined to be the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect through the screening of the remaining spells.That sword cultivator has at least a third-rank Dacheng or higher strength.

The remaining sword energy has Taibai School's Taibai Sword Classic under Jingtao swordsmanship, but it is a little bit better than Jingtao swordsmanship.There is no record of the remaining sword energy Qin Tianjian.

It can only be confirmed that it is an extremely advanced sword scripture, unparalleled in the world. "

At this time, a sorcerer from the Monster Hunting Hall added, "The other third-rank monster clan has been confirmed by comparison, and it is the Qingqiu Tianhu clan."

"Understood." Chu Zheng nodded lightly, "Is that mysterious swordsman sure there is no excuse?"

"Yes." The sorcerer of Qin Tianjian clasped his fists and said in shame, "There has never been a record of this kind of swordsmanship, and I really don't know the reason. It cannot be concluded that he is from the Taibai Sect just by the swordsmanship of Surging Waves."

Chu Zheng turned his head and said to everyone in Dali Temple, "Send an order to search for the whereabouts of the three snipers in Tai'an City and its surroundings.

Be sure to bring these thieves to justice. "

Chu Zheng just gave a succinct instruction, then left the scene directly and went back to Tai'an City.

The remaining people, except for some who continued to investigate, others also returned to Tai'an City one after another.It's still too big a deal tonight.

Zhu Chen escaped from prison, and then was sniped outside the city. No matter how you look at it, it seems that something big happened. Nanyang will never let it go.

They must immediately go back and clarify this matter with their respective forces as soon as possible.

Ji Cheng also brought these people from Dali Temple back to Tai'an City. As soon as he returned to Tai'an City, his subordinates asked, "Minister, how do you arrange the things ordered by the Minister of the Temple?"

Ji Cheng stretched his waist and replied, "Brothers have worked hard these days without sleep, let's talk about it tomorrow, go back and have a good rest first, don't let your body break down because of catching thieves."

After finishing speaking, Ji Cheng, who was a minister, took the lead and left immediately. The people from Dali Temple behind him looked at each other in blank dismay.

Soon, everyone looked at each other, smiled understandingly, and left here as a bird.

Find out about the murderer, let's talk about it tomorrow.A very simple logic, killing Zhu Chen, the absolute enemy of Dali Temple, then it is not too much for our Dali Temple to grind foreign workers.

Investigating the case must be investigated, but how much thought is involved in it can be determined artificially.

On the other side, in the Daqi Palace, the lengthy birthdays are still going on, and the fierce battle outside the city has not spread here, and it has not affected the mood of these people having fun here.

Concubine Xue Gui, who was sitting on the upper right, was rolling her fox eyes. She was always paying attention to Yu Gan and Li Nianxiang.

She has noticed Yu Gan's sudden departure just now, and now he has not returned after waiting for so long.

No matter what the reason, this sudden farewell is disrespectful to the Queen Mother, especially since he is the consort of the Queen Mother's favorite princess.

This is even more unreasonable, it simply means contempt for the Queen of Heaven.

Concubine Xue Gui has a small mind. She dislikes Concubine Wei, Wen An, and even Yu Gan.Especially when Yu Gan tricked his son into setting fire to the inn.

Although Li Qin had explained it to her, the woman's brains were one-sided, saying it was useless, and if she didn't like it, she didn't like it.

So, she smiled and said to Li Nianxiang, "Wen An, I just saw that the son-in-law went out and didn't come back. He disappeared for such a long time, so there must be something wrong."

Her voice was not too loud, just enough that everyone in the royal family sitting here could hear it.

When Concubine Xue asked this question, many people, especially those concubines with dignity in the harem, didn't care on the surface, but they all looked at Li Nianxiang secretly.

Empress Dowager Li's eyes also lightly fell in this direction, only the emperor chatted with the ministers on the left, and did not notice the appearance here.

Li Nianxiang nodded to Concubine Xue without haste and said, "Aunt Lao is worried, the son-in-law was a little unstable when he was in the Profound Realm.

It just happened suddenly, and now I hurried back to my home to recuperate.Wen An didn't understand the matter of cultivation, he only said that he was afraid that if he stayed here, he would lose his composure if something happened.

So Wen An made the decision to let him leave first, and it was not easy to tell his father and the queen, for fear of spoiling his interest, Wen An hadn't thought carefully about this matter. "

Li Nianxiang's answer was very decent, and there was nothing wrong with it. At this time, although Wei Guifei, who was sitting next to Concubine Xue, didn't know the situation, she immediately smiled and grabbed the other's catkin, smiling to match Li Nianxiang's speech.

"Concubine Xue is still so kind. I thank you for your kindness on behalf of the son-in-law. There is indeed a small problem with the realm of the son-in-law.

I have been recuperating for the past few days, if it happened in this hall, I would lose face.Wen An told me this before.

I thought about not worrying His Majesty, so I didn't say anything. "

The conversation between the mother and daughter directly suppressed the matter to a very small point, and those people who secretly pricked up their ears were bored.

Concubine Xue Gui continued, "It's a pity, I thought the son-in-law's poetry was unparalleled, and he should be the one who gave the empress dowager a congratulatory message. It's not my blessing not to see this."

Concubine Xue Gui made another sarcasm, indicating that no matter how talented Yu Gan was, he would not take the Empress Dowager seriously.

Li Nianxiang was not annoyed, but just smiled, "That's not true, the son-in-law has always kept the Queen Mother's birthday in mind, stayed up all night yesterday, and wrote a congratulatory poem to the Queen Mother.

Wen An planned to wait for the others to finish their congratulatory speeches, but now that Auntie asked, then Wen An would take it out first. "

With that said, Li Nianxiang took out a silk cloth from his bosom.

Seeing Li Nianxiang's confident appearance, Concubine Xue was a little startled, did she have bad intentions to do good things again?Why is it so difficult to accomplish something?

Empress Dowager Li said to Li Nianxiang with great interest, "I have often heard the title of Yu Gan's poems in the deep palace, and now there are excellent works that make me curious, Wen An, read it quickly."

As soon as the Queen Mother's words came out, everyone subconsciously looked at Li Nianxiang. Yu Gan has another poem?

People have left, why are there still poems left?

Everyone involuntarily held their breath and looked at Li Nianxiang.

Li Nianxiang was also faintly taken aback by the behavior of those people, seeing their expectations, it seemed that Yu Gan's statement outside was bigger than what he imagined.

But Li Nianxiang naturally wouldn't be afraid of such an occasion. She had seen many people since she was a child. She nodded and smiled at everyone with a full demeanor, then took out the silk book left by Yu Gan, and carefully read the words on it.Gu Yu

At the beginning of Bolu, Changxiao and Yongshu will stop.Surrounding the water towers, towering Pengying.

This poem was written by Li Qingzhao, a talented woman. He Shou didn't have many poems, and Yu Gan didn't memorize many. It was only when I was in school, and I was particularly obsessed with this self-contained poem during my adolescence when I liked to pretend to be melancholy and pretend to be literary. A talented woman with a melancholy temperament.

I also specially bought a collection of Li Qingzhao's works, and memorized all the poems on it abruptly, and I also memorized many awkward and unpopular ones.

This congratulatory speech is not well-known, and Yu Gan has even forgotten the specific meaning now. Although it is not very suitable for Queen Mother Li's birthday, it is the only one he can remember now and can get out of it.

Even if it is barely usable, Yu Gan is not stingy about being the official copywriter.

After Li Nianxiang's first sentence, everyone's eyes widened without a single step. After all this, another brand new title?This new lotus leaf did not exist before.

While everyone was shocked, they also became speechless. This Yu Gan is really invincible.

Now that people are not here, the poems left behind are overwhelming.

Li Nianxiang continued to read slowly.Zhilan is longevity, reflecting each other, hairpin Wat Yingting.The flowers are soft and pure, and the cups are elegant

Everyone kept silent and listened to Li Nianxiang chanting, not daring to interrupt, for fear of harboring such a beautiful mood.

Empress Dowager Li looked at Li Nianxiang with a smile on her face. Her education level is still very high and she can understand.At this moment, I just feel that this son-in-law is really talented.

Just when Li Nianxiang finished reading this poem, Eunuch Lin took small steps from the outside of the hall and walked around behind Li Xun from the side, whispering in his ear.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Chen was beheaded, and someone was sniping and killing Zhu Chen outside the city. According to the news from Qin Tianjian, there is the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect, an elder of the Qingqiu Tianhu clan, and a powerful Mystical Sword Cultivator."

The wine glass swirling in Li Xun's hand slowly stopped, and then he said in a cold voice, "It is confirmed that Zhu Chen was beheaded."

"Old General Wei from the Longyou Army saw it with his own eyes, so it should be true. Then Zhu Chen was indeed beheaded by the mysterious swordsman."

"The whereabouts of those three people have been found." Li Xun's voice became colder and colder.

"No, but Chu Siqing has ordered the whole city to search for these three thieves."

"understood."

Li Xun hummed lightly, Eunuch Lin didn't wait any longer, bowed his body, and hurriedly retreated with small steps.

Seeing everyone in the hall discussing Yu Gan's poems one after another, especially the smile on the Queen Mother's face never stopped.

Li Xun didn't show any displeasure, with a gentle smile on his face, then nodded slightly to the Queen Mother, then got up and went out.

The queen mother just glanced at her son's back, didn't say a word, and continued to look at Li Nianxiang kindly.

Walking out of the hall, the smile on Li Xun's face disappeared immediately, replaced by absolute indifference.

Gently pulling up his sleeves, Li Xun walked towards the small courtyard where Cai Kongru and Yuehua were staying just now with a blank expression.

When entering the courtyard, there was only a black figure sitting alone under the gazebo, as if Kong was not there, Li Xun walked over and sat down, looking at Yuehua.

The latter raised his head slightly, looked at Li Xun's indifferent expression, and asked, "Is Zhu Chen dead?"

Seeing that the other party asked such a question proactively, Li Xun paused for a moment, then nodded and hummed, and then continued to ask, "Didn't let the layman help to keep an eye on Zhu Chen, what happened over there?"

Yuehua said lightly, "I found Zhu Chen's whereabouts just now, but soon Elder Ke from Dali Temple came to me. He took me far away on the grounds that I was a ghost cultivator and plotting evil.

I'm not as strong as Elder Ke, so there's nothing I can do.It's inconvenient to tell the other party about the cooperative relationship between you and me, and if you can't explain it, you will just acquiesce. "

Li Xun paused again, and Ke Zhenbang actually went to the scene to do this kind of thing himself.But Ke Zhenbang's actions can't be faulted from any angle.

And as Ke Zhenbang of Dali Temple Dinghaishenzhen, Tai'an City and Daqi Dinghaishenzhen, Li Xun can't say anything, can't blame him at all.

This coptis can only be swallowed by itself.

Really did not expect Yuehua to be approached by Ke Zhenbang.

"Do you know who those sniper Zhu Chen are?" Li Xun asked again.

Yuehua just shook her head lightly.

Li Xun was not surprised by Yuehua's answer, seeing that he couldn't find anything, he got up and prepared to leave.At this time, the former stopped him and said.

"After all, I promised you this matter but failed to do it well. I will make it up later."

Li Xun turned his back to Yuehua, nodded and smiled faintly, "You are welcome, layman, I understand."

After speaking, Li Xun strode away directly.Yuehua looked at Li Xun thoughtfully, but didn't have too many other emotions.

She wholeheartedly said that she has no interest in the grievances and grievances between these countries and forces, and it is not worth keeping in her mind.

If this little favor doesn't help, it won't help. It's just some Nanyang prince who died, and it's not worth it when she desperately saves her.

At this moment, above the sea of ​​clouds above the imperial city, Ke Zhenbang and Kong Ru were floating there, the former looking up and down at Kong Ru with his nose picked.

After returning from outside the city just now, Ke Zhenbang contacted this master Kongru immediately, wanting to ask him questions.

I saw that Ke Zhenbang asked bluntly, "Old bald donkey, what's the matter with you running to the imperial city every day?"

Kong Ru clasped his hands together, he didn't show any anger because of such a title, and he always maintained a benevolent look, he replied.

"It's a private matter."

Ke Zhenbang just asked casually, seeing that the other party didn't want to answer and wasn't interested in delving into it, he continued to ask, "Did you stop that evil cultivator outside the city just now?"

Kong Rudao, "I'm just doing it smoothly, after all, the other party is a second-rank evil cultivator, so we can't let him stay with Tai'an."

Ke Zhenbang said impatiently, "It's useless not to tell me these things, I'm asking why you suddenly thought of running outside the city? Can you stop that evil cultivator in such a timely manner?

You were there early, right? "

Kong Ru paused for a moment, and then said, "It's not so early, it's indeed a coincidence."

"Did you see the battle over there?" Ke Zhenbang continued to ask, "Do you know who the sword cultivator who killed those people in Nanyang is? Do you know him?"

Kong Ru shook his head, "When the old man arrived, that sword cultivator was seriously injured, but he didn't see who it was."

Ke Zhenbang pointed to Kong Ru's nose and asked, "Monks don't tell lies, how many did you beat tonight, you old bald donkey?"

"Elder Ke was joking, but I didn't tell any lies." Kong Ru shook his head and said.

"Every sentence in my mouth is hairy." Ke Zhenbang cursed, then his face suddenly became solemn, looked at Kong Ru very seriously, and asked.

"I'll ask you again, did your Majesty ask you to go there?"

"No." Kong Ru shook his head.

Ke Zhenbang stared at the other party again, and said, "I met a second-rank ghost cultivator over there, and at first I thought it was someone sent by Nanyang King.

It turned out not to be, do you know her? "

"I don't know." Kong Ru paused, then shook his head again.

Ke Zhenbang withdrew his gaze and looked at the bright moon in the sky that seemed so close at hand, with a cold and peaceful expression.

In the end, without asking any more questions, he turned into a shooting star and disappeared into the empty field of vision.The latter stared at Ke Zhenbang's back for a long time, finally sighed deeply, and slowly fell into the imperial city.

Monks don't tell lies, but just now they beat them if they don't.

Yuehua's matter involves the absolute forbidden area of ​​the imperial city, the absolute foundation of Daqi, he can't tell Ke Zhenbang.

Although, both of them are sincerely for the good of Daqi.But there are some things, no words are better than words.

The monks are merciful, and the common people in the world are in their eyes. Great love is far greater than small love.

Now that Zhu Chen is dead, there is a high probability of turmoil, and there must be no more chaos in Tai'an City.

In fact, when he arrived there just now, even though he was a bit late, he could probably prevent that swordsman from beheading Zhu Chen with his full attack.

But at that moment, his heart of Buddha and great love was challenged.The weight of Gu Qingyuan, an old friend, is a little heavier in Kong Ru's heart.

After hesitating, Zhu Chen's body was already separated.

He didn't know who the swordsman was. After all, the Holy Mother's escapism was powerful, and the time passed before Kong Ru could spy on her.

Falling into the small courtyard, as if he had no intention of discussing with Yuehua, he just folded his hands together and walked into the room, secluded himself in it.

In the imperial study room, Li Xun sat on a high seat. He didn't go back for the Queen Mother's birthday, but came here.

There were two people standing underneath, Chu Zheng and Sui Yanning, the master of the Monster Hunting Hall.The supervisor of Qin Tianjian is not in Tai'an now, so Sui Yanning will report the investigation on the spot.

After all, Dali Temple cannot be responsible for such a major event, and the division of labor is the basic requirement of these institutions.

Li Xun didn't show any displeasure on his face, he was listening to Sui Yanning talking about the current investigation results with a smile on his face.

After Sui Yanning finished speaking, Li Xun looked at Chu Zheng and said.

"It's a good thing that Zhu Chen died here. If he was really allowed to escape back to Nanyang, it would not only be a disgrace to Dali Temple, but also a disgrace to my face.

Zhu Chen's death is destiny, Mr. Chu, you can also temporarily comfort the heroic soul of Dali Temple, I am very comforted, very comforted. "

Chu Zheng cupped his hands and bowed, "Your Majesty is merciful, and I thank you on behalf of all the deacons of Dali Temple. It is a great blessing for Daqi to have a British Lord like Your Majesty."

Li Xun laughed heartily, "Mr. Chu, stop praising me. I almost made a big mistake tonight. If I really let that Zhu Chen escape, I will lose all face to see the lovers of Dali Temple."

"Your Majesty is kind." Chu Zheng said again.

"However." Li Xun paused, and continued, "In any case, those three people who killed Zhu Chen were hiding evil intentions, first thoroughly confirm whether it is the result of your current investigation.

Qingqiu Tianhu and the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect may not be easy to solve immediately, and the sword repairer must find out who it is.I don't allow Tai'an City to have such a big cultivator spying on you but you don't know.

Find out as soon as possible and give me an answer. "

"The old minister takes orders." Chu Zheng and Sui Yanning clasped their fists together.

"Go ahead, I still have to go to the banquet." Li Xun finally waved his hand.

Chu Zheng and Sui Yanning immediately resigned and left.Li Xun was the only one left in the study, the smile on his face gradually dissipated, and the coldness slowly emerged.

Looking at the dark corner behind the curtain on the right side, he ordered faintly, "Let people watch all the recent actions of Dali Temple, and investigate from the inside, whether Dali Temple is the mastermind behind the assassination of Zhu Chen. "

"Yes." A dry answer came from the darkness.

Then, Li Xun took out a blank silk book and wrote with a pen.He quickly threw the written letter into the darkness and continued.

"You go there yourself and deliver this letter to Zhu Yu."

"Yes." There was a slight fluctuation in the darkness, and after a while, the imperial study room completely returned to dead silence.

Li Xun got up and extinguished the candles in the room, the room was plunged into darkness, and he stood in the darkness with his hands behind his back, with a cold face, he didn't know what he was thinking.

In the early morning of the next day, when the morning sun poured down on the ground, Yu Gan's eyelids moved a few times in a deep sleep, and then slowly opened.

(If you have a ticket, come and feed the coast, and I will introduce you to a No. 88 technician.)
