ghost scene

After arriving at the palace, Li Nianxiang slowly adjusted his thoughts, the matter of Yu Gan going to Nanyang was a done deal, as he said, it was nothing more than a task.

It's just that he may not see Yu Gan for a long period of time, and this is what makes Li Nianxiang most unhappy.

Now she belongs to the kind who can't wait to tie Yu Gan to the waistband of her trousers every day.

"Xiaowan, what do you think of this palace?" Li Nianxiang turned to Yu Xiaowan.

Yu Xiaowan thought for a while, then replied, "Sister Xiangxiang, there is nothing special about this palace."

"That's the way it is. Some places here are not even as luxurious as outside." Li Nianxiang smiled lightly.

Yu Gan stood behind the two and followed them quietly, his gaze was mostly on Yu Xiaowan.This girl wanted to come to the palace on a whim today, he always felt it was weird.

But now looking at Yu Xiaowan as if she was really just curious, Yu Gan didn't think too much about it.

What he is most gratified about now is the harmony between Li Nianxiang and Yu Xiaowan, how harmonious it looks.Originally, Yu Gan thought that Yu Xiaowan was the most unstable factor.

Now, no matter from the perspective of her and Ye Chanyi, or her and Li Nianxiang, this girl is a perfect lubricant.

"Sister Xiangxiang, what is that place over there, can I go in and have a look?" Yu Xiaowan suddenly pointed to the courtyard on the right and asked.

Yu Gan also came back to his senses at this time, and looked around. Before he knew it, they had wandered to a relatively remote place, and he didn't know who led the way.

The courtyard on the right was guarded by the imperial guards, and they were watching Yu Gan's direction vigilantly.

"You can't go in there, it's a forbidden area in the palace, only my father can go in. Without his will, no one can go in." Li Nianxiang also came back to his senses at this time, and replied casually.

She had some doubts in her mind, why did she come here unknowingly?Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to bring Yu Xiaowan here.

Li Nianxiang, who was thinking to no avail, could only blame all this on his distraction when chatting with Yu Xiaowan just now.

"Let's leave quickly. These imperial guards recognize me. Otherwise, if others get too close, they will be taken down. We can't go any further. Let's go somewhere else." Li Nianxiang added.

Yu Xiaowan took a second look at the imperial guards at the door, but there was no overly curious look on her face, she smiled sweetly like a normal person,

"Okay, Miss Xiangxiang, let's go somewhere else."

When the three turned around and were about to leave, a peaceful voice suddenly came from the yard and fell into their ears.

"Since the princess and the son-in-law have brought their friends, let's bring them in for a stroll. I haven't seen the son-in-law and the princess for a long time."

The voice was empty, an invitation from him.

"Why is Master Kongru here?" Li Nianxiang whispered a little strangely.

If Kong Ru could be in there, it must have been approved by the emperor, Li Nianxiang didn't think too much about it, and naturally agreed to Kong Ru's invitation.

She has known Kong Ru for many years, and it can be said that Kong Ru watched her grow up.

Since she was a child, she often stayed at the White Horse Temple, and every time she played with her, she was always empty. Later, when she was older, she helped the Queen Mother copy Buddhist scriptures, and every time she was there, she was always empty.

It can be said that in Li Nianxiang's heart, Kong Ru is exactly like his elders.

On the other hand, Yu Gan on the other side was somewhat skeptical, he half-closed his eyes thinking about the reason.

Yu Gan is probably the fourth person in Daqi who knows why Kong Ru is in the forbidden area.The deal Yuehua reached with Li Xun was to practice in the forbidden area in the imperial city.

Looking at it now, it is very likely that this has a lot to do with the forbidden area that Yuehua talked about.And Kongru in the palace is also playing the role of restraining Yuehua.

Now, Kong Ru directly called out to himself to go in.Yu Gan always felt that there was something tricky in it.

He also specifically mentioned Yu Xiaowan. Could it be because of Yu Xiaowan?Yu Gan put his eyes on the innocent-looking Yu Xiaowan, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.

Although I can't figure it out, I must go in if I go in.It is impolite not to go in when the elders invite you.

Yu Gan put away the laziness he had just had, raised his vigilance, and then followed Li Nianxiang towards the courtyard.

The imperial guards in charge of guarding obviously did not have any doubts about Kong Ru's decision, and directly opened the door to let Yu Gan and the three of them in.

Stepping into the yard is not as barren as imagined, with no one to take care of it.Inside, there are a lot of flowers, and the appearance of birds singing and flowers fragrant.The air is filled with refreshing fragrance.

There is a gazebo in the middle of the courtyard, under which sits an old monk with long eyebrows, who is just empty.

And among the flowers and plants next to them stood the back of a woman with her back facing them. Yu Gan recognized at a glance that it was the second-rank cultivator, the ghost Xiu Yuehua layman.

At the moment, she is concentrating on taking care of the flowers and plants, as if she doesn't care about Yu Gan and the others coming in.

Yu Gan just glanced at the other party, not daring to linger on her for a long time, so as not to arouse suspicion.

"Princess, son-in-law, this way." Kong Ru said kindly first.

Yu Gan and the others didn't look around too much, walked into the pavilion along the path among the flowers, and sat down opposite Kong Ru.

There was new tea brewing on the table, bubbling and bubbling.

Kong Ru once again showed a kind smile on his face, looked at Yu Gan and Li Nianxiang and said, "I haven't seen each other for many days, I have been retreating here recently."

"Master, why don't you make Wen An a cup of tea?" Li Nianxiang smiled lightly, saying the appropriate words for a junior.

Kong Ru smiled lightly, made three cups of tea and pushed them in front of Yu Gan and the others.Then he looked at Yu Xiaowan and asked.

"I don't know who this girl is."

"Her name is Yu Xiaowan, Wen'an and I are good friends." Yu Gan took the initiative to explain.

At this time, Yu Xiaowan also smiled sweetly, "Master, I am from the Merman family in the Cangjiang Aquarium."

"I don't know who the Shark King is from the girl?"

"It's my father."

Kong Ru smiled and said, "I just felt that the girl's breath is familiar, so she is the daughter of the Shark King. It is really rare to have a fourth-rank cultivation at a young age."

When Kong Ru said that Yu Xiaowan was a fourth rank, Yu Gan's heart moved.

Even Kong Ru couldn't see Yu Xiaowan's current strength?how can that be?Kong Ru's powerful Yu Gan is the clearest, even if he can't see it, who else in the world can see it.

Is Yu Xiaowan's concealment technique so powerful?

Yu Gan muttered in his heart, this little girl seems to have a secret.In fact, Yu Gan could also guess that it was the role of the green bead left behind by the first-grade Tianfeng.

It can only be said that the inheritance of a peak monk of the first rank really cannot be judged by common sense.

"I'm just lucky." Yu Xiaowan stuck out her tongue a little and said.

Kong Ru continued, "Young lady, you can say hello to the Shark King for the old man when you go back. If you say back then, I had to have the help of the Shark King."

"Okay master, I've made a note." Yu Xiaowan nodded solemnly.

Only then did Kong Ru lightly nod his head, then turned to look at Yu Gan and said, "After my little friend came out of the Xuan Realm, I have never congratulated you on your rapid progress in cultivation."

Yu Gan shook his head directly and said, "This is not enough to see in front of the master."

"You don't have to be humble, little friend. It's rare to see such a level of cultivation in such a short period of time." Kong Ru praised, then asked.

"However, during this period of time, the old monk has also heard a little about Tai'an's rumors about Xiaoyou. It's not easy."

Yu Gan smiled wryly, "What the master said is true, I am very sad."

Kong Ru shook his head and said with a smile, "Elder Ke of your monastery showed his power yesterday, and this matter probably stopped in a few days, plus, now everyone in the world knows that little friend has the talent of Nine Inch Pill Sea.

This is even more able to block the mouths of most people, and this matter should be fine. "

Speaking of this, Kong Ru couldn't help sighing with emotion, "I was also deeply shocked when I heard that Xiaoyou had a nine-inch pill sea.

I practiced Taoism, and I have never heard of anyone having a nine-inch pill sea. "

Yu Gan smiled lightly, took a sip of tea, and asked, "By the way, Master, I have a question for you."

"Please tell me, little friend."

"Master, who is better, you or Elder Ke?"

"Well, of course Elder Ke is far better than this old man."

At that time, Yu Gan laughed and asked Kong Ru about the anecdotes about who is strong and who is weak in the practice world, and the latter knows everything.

Just like that, Yu Gan and the others chatted with Kong Ru for quite a while.On the surface, this courtyard does not look like a forbidden area at all.

Yu Gan didn't dare to inquire rashly, and after staying for half an hour, the three of them left here.

Kong Ru sat in his seat and watched them leave. After they left, the layman Yuehua, who had been cultivating flowers and plants, came over and sat down, then asked.

"Have you found out that the mysterious spying spirit just now has something to do with them?"

They were obviously referring to Yu Gan and the other three.As for this mysterious divine sense, it is probably the reason why Kong Ru called Yu Gan and the three of them in.

Kong Ru shook his head and said, "No, it has nothing to do with them. The old monk just checked carefully."

Yuehua frowned slightly, "Is there something wrong with that little girl named Yu Xiaowan?"

"No." Kong Ru shook his head again.

"Then whose divine sense was that vaguely present just now?" Yuehua asked puzzled.

"Maybe it's because you, layman, have a wrong perception, and the old monk just didn't notice it." Kong Ru replied.

Yuehua said lightly, "I am far inferior to you in terms of cultivation, but I am sure that I am far better than you in this respect."

"Since that's the case, I should pay more attention to it during this time." Kong Ru nodded and said, "If it's true as you said, then the divine sense that was spying on just now is a first-rank monk.

Not to mention whether there are first-rank monks who have reached the top of the world, even if there are, they will probably not act like this.With their cultivation base, there is no need to spy on them, they can be upright. "

"Well, maybe I just misperceived it." Yuehua didn't insist anymore.As for the possibility of first-rank monks spying on this side, she felt that her own perception was more likely to be wrong.

On the other hand, after Yu Gan and the others left here, under the leadership of Li Nianxiang, they visited all the main places in the palace, big and small.

The three didn't leave the imperial city until the afternoon.

Yu Xiaowan took the initiative to say goodbye to Yu Gan and Li Nianxiang first, and she also went to play with her little sister from the East China Sea Dragon Palace.

Yu Gan and Li Nianxiang went back to the Princess Mansion together, after all Yu Gan was leaving Tai'an tomorrow, so tonight must belong to Li Nianxiang.

After Li Nianxiang and Yu Gan walked away completely, Yu Xiaowan stopped her jumping steps and turned her head to look in the direction of the imperial city.Then he communicated silently with that senior Tianfeng in his heart.

"Senior, you asked me to take a look in the imperial city, did you notice anything wrong?"

There is indeed a reason for Yu Xiaowan's sudden desire to go to the imperial city this time. That Tianfeng felt a strange aura from the imperial city two days ago.

It was an extremely pure fluctuation of Yin Lingli.

Strictly speaking, all the monster energy, devil energy, and ghost energy in the world can be collectively referred to as Yin Lingli.Cultivators within these ranges can practice in common with Yin Lingli.

Just like the suppressed demon eyes in the Profound Realm, it is the main source of the yin energy in this world.After being sealed, the proportion of Yin spiritual power between heaven and earth has been greatly reduced.

This is also the main reason why the world has become dominated by human monks.

With the reduction of the proportion of yin and spiritual power, the decline of those monster races, demon races and ghost cultivators followed.It can be said that their power and strength have been weakened at the epic level.

This is completely different from the situation of thousands of races in ancient times.

It can only be said that the current prosperity of the human race is all due to the immortal who suppressed the demon eye.

And this first-rank Tianfeng felt the fluctuation of the essence of spiritual power before, and its quality can be said to be the kind second only to the eyes of demons.

It's hard to imagine that, under the background of the current decline of Yin Lingli, such pure Yin Lingli can exist in the imperial city of the mighty human race and powerful empire.

This directly made Tianfeng extremely curious, and then told Yu Xiaowan to ask her to find a chance to go to the imperial city to see what happened.

"Well, something is wrong." Tianfeng's voice came from Yu Xiaowan's mind, his voice was a little weak, "It is true that there is a large amount of extremely refined Yin spiritual power hidden under the forbidden area just now.

It's just that my current strength is limited, and the power of the soul is not much.There were two second-rank monks on the spot, and one of them was an outstanding second-rank monk.

It's not easy for me to help you cover up your cultivation. If you don't have the energy to forcefully probe, otherwise you will only attract the attention of that Kongru. "

"Hey, why is there such a forbidden place under Daqi's imperial city?" Yu Xiaowan was curious.It stands to reason, how could the residence of the emperor of the human race have such a powerful yin power.

Yu Xiaowan didn't understand the reason, but just wrote down such a thing first.

"Senior, you have worked hard, thank you for always covering my cultivation for me." Yu Xiaowan thanked, and then asked, "Senior, you said that you are two second-rank cultivators, so is my woman watering the flowers too?"

"Well, she is a ghost cultivator." Tianfeng replied, "I can feel that she is not too old. She can be promoted to the second-rank heavenly human realm so quickly with such thin Yin Lingli.

This man's talent is extremely rare.If it is in ancient times, Yipin Dao is expected.Only now, unfortunately. "

Yu Xiaowan's little brain turned again, she seemed to have discovered a great secret, Daqi's palace not only has a mysterious forbidden area about Yin Lingli, but also this second-grade ghost cultivator, no matter how you think about it, it looks abnormal.

"Senior, you were not discovered just now, right?" Yu Xiaowan asked.

Tianfeng said proudly, "Although there is only a ray of spirit left in this seat, how could this second-rank monk be able to detect it. However, that ghost cultivator seemed to be aware of it faintly.

Maybe it has something to do with her special spirit body.Of course, it doesn't matter, they won't suspect you. "

"Senior is amazing." Yu Xiaowan said with a cute thumbs up.

Tianfeng continued. "Just now I used too much power of the soul, I will adjust my breath in the next few days. You should be more careful."

"Okay, senior, I will."

"I'll find time to study the Yin Lingli under the imperial city. Perhaps, those pure Yin Lingli can be used to help you enter the second-rank realm as soon as possible." Tianfeng added.

"Thank you, senior." Yu Xiaowan's surface was filled with gratitude, but her thoughts were steady and clear.

From now on, this senior Tianfeng can be said to be kind to him unreservedly. This kind of kindness makes Yu Xiaowan feel a little unreal.

Moreover, Senior Tianfeng has been urging and urging this matter of cultivation from beginning to end, and has been trying every means to help Yu Xiaowan improve.

Okay so abnormal.

All these things made Yu Xiaowan couldn't help building a line of defense in her heart.

Again, she, Yu Xiaowan, is so witty.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, Yu Xiaowan is always vigilant in her heart, and she doesn't let down her vigilance just because Tianfeng has only a wisp of spirit left.

"Xiaowan, I have a question to ask you." Tianfeng suddenly changed the subject at this time.

Yu Xiaowan nodded and said, "Senior, ask."

"You like Yu Gan from the bottom of your heart?" Tianfeng suddenly asked a question that was extremely inconsistent with her identity and cultivation.

Yu Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, and she never thought that Tianfeng would ask this out so abruptly, but soon, embarrassment and joy took over Yu Xiaowan's heart.

She simply replied, "In the past few days, I have deliberately read through the description of the word "like" by the human race, and I found that I hit all of them.

So, the answer is yes.

So, senior, why are you asking this...? "

Tianfeng sighed softly, "It's nothing, I just feel that this person is not simple, and there is a mysterious aura in his body that I can't see through.

Be careful with everything, "

Yu Xiaowan was stunned again, and there was an aura that Tianfeng couldn't see through?

Yu Xiaowan's first thought was that Yu Gan had something to hide from her, and the second thought was to be happy for Yu Gan.The more powerful Yu Gan is, of course she will be sincerely happy for him.

As for what Tianfeng mentioned to be careful, Yu Xiaowan didn't agree at all.Although Yu Gan can be an asshole sometimes, he treats himself really well.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaowan's footsteps of leaving became more cheerful.

In the early morning of the next day, on the official road outside the South City Gate.

Yu Gan and Gongsun Yan are each riding on a fine horse.Both of them were wearing the clothes of Dali Temple, but the color of the black gauze hat on their heads was changed to a golden color, and their belts were replaced with a patterned dragon belt that was only used by Daqi imperial envoys.

They are currently holding the post of imperial envoy temporarily. Although this name is only famous, there is still some pomp and ostentation.

A special guard of honor was parked next to it, and the two carriages in the team were now empty.Both Yu Gan and Gongsun Yan don't like to ride a carriage.

Just ask for a horse each, and the guard of honor will be just a decoration.

Fortunately, both men and women in the guard of honor are specially selected, with a little cultivation base, and the officials who travel with them are also selected for their physical strength, so that they will not be slow on the road and delay the schedule.

The two of them arrived first, and waited for Li Chenghua to come here, then went to Longyou County to take over [-] soldiers, and then marched towards Nanyang.

Fortunately, Daqi's official roads extend in all directions, and the official roads leading there are even more spacious.There are [-] cavalry in the [-] Longyou Army, and for the time being, there are two horses per horse.

The war horses bred by the Daqi army are not ordinary horses. It is no problem to run hundreds of kilometers a day.This also greatly reduced the time to Nanyang.

Yu Gan lay on the horse's back, using his hands as pillows, looking at the dark clouds in the sky bored.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time he has traveled far after he has been here for so long, and the first time he has gone so far away from Tai'an City.

But looking at Gongsun Yan, who was sitting upright on horseback, and his aunt's plump buttocks, Yu Gan didn't feel depressed about the journey.

In principle, when you arrive in Jinzhou, you can stay for a short period of time and return to Tai'an after finishing the superficial work that the imperial envoy should do.

But Yu Gan obviously didn't intend to do so, and when the time comes, he will see the opportunity over there, and try to do it if he can get the King of Nanyang.I really can't think about going back.

"We are going to do business, not play, so don't be too lazy." Gongsun Yan turned to look at Yu Gan and said.

The latter was awakened by the words, and immediately sat up, and gently clamped the horse's belly, and the horse walked leisurely to Gongsun Yan and stood side by side with him.

Yu Gan looked at Gongsun Yan who had recovered from his injuries and regained his spirits.During this period of time, Yu Gan has been tirelessly helping his aunt to heal her wounds every day with the spirit energy.

This allowed the aunt to recover as before, and the heroic spirit on her face was shining brightly at this moment.

"Alright minister, I understand." Yu Gan said with a smile.

"This is not a joke with you." Gongsun Yan added with a solemn expression, "The rumors about you have not completely dissipated, and there are many monks who don't want to die."

"That's good. I know it." Yu Gan also put away his smile and responded solemnly.

Gongsun Yan's expression calmed down a little, she looked back at the quiet official road behind her, and then continued to lower her voice and said, "This time, don't cause trouble, just do what you are supposed to do as an imperial envoy.

You shouldn't ask, don't read, don't care about, don't say anything, you don't care about it all.It's not very safe outside, and each state and county has its own special situation.

The status of Dali Temple and imperial envoy is sometimes useless, so don't be arrogant, everything will be stable.Otherwise, something really happened, and we are outside, so it's not easy to deal with. "

"Understood, I will pay attention to propriety. Just do what you have to do." Yu Gan happily agreed to Auntie's concern.

Only then did Gongsun Yan stop to ask.After receiving the news of being an imperial envoy yesterday, she was also very surprised.But since it is the emperor's order, it can only be obeyed.

Now that we are about to set off, we must give Yu Gan a good command.

She is still at ease with Yu Gan when he handles affairs, but most of the time, Yu Gan will always give a lot of shocking surprises, so he must be instructed, and he cannot let the other party do it.

The two chatted here and there, and after waiting for nearly half an hour, the official road behind them came galloping here with several war horses.

The first one was Li Chenghua, he was wearing a white armor, which was exactly what Yu Gan saw when he returned to Tai'an City that day.It can be said that he is very handsome.

Followed by four people, these are also some cronies he brought back from the Modao Army, and now they are going to Nanyang with Li Chenghua.

"Minister Gongsun, Director Yu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Li Chenghua hurriedly stopped beside Yu Gan, clasped his fists at them and smiled.

"Your Highness is polite." The two replied in unison.

"Director Yu, this time I advised His Majesty to let you accompany me to Jinzhou. How is it? Is Wen An angry?" Li Chenghua said with a smile.

Yu Gan looked at the other party with some surprise in his heart. This Li Chenghua is indeed quite open-minded. Yu Gan said with a smile, "Wen An is a person who knows the general situation, so why would he be angry because of this?"

"That's good."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two sides headed straight to Longyou.

The five Li Chenghua led the way, while Yu Gan and Gongsun Yan followed steadily with the guard of honor.

Soon, a group of people hurried down to the base camp where the Longyou Army was stationed.

Where the Longyou Army was stationed, there were soldiers standing guard twenty miles away, and Yu Gan and his party were directly intercepted.

Except for Li Chenghua who was brought in by the soldiers, the others including Yu Gan could only wait quietly in place.

Yu Gan looked curiously at the faintly visible and continuous barracks in the distance.The Longyou and Longzuo armies can be said to be famous all over the world.

Yu Gan had been in contact with them a few times before, but it was the first time he had come back to this military camp.The guards are so secretive and strict, it can only be said that they are full of vigilance.

After waiting for about half an hour, Li Chenghua galloped out of it one by one.

He went in to get the commander's transfer order, and the [-] soldiers and horses had assembled on the mountain top ten miles away, waiting for Li Chenghua to get the transfer order.

After Li Chenghua came out, he didn't talk nonsense, he just raised his hand, and then continued to gallop south.

Yu Gan and the others rode their horses to follow, and finally Yu Gan and the others stopped on a wide flat ground in front of a hill.His eyes were shocked by the huge and majestic team.

There are 1 riders and [-] people lined up neatly on the flat ground.They are fully armed, uniform armor, except for the occasional neighing of horses, the rest are absolutely quiet.

What is the concept of five thousand riders? This kind of armed army of [-] people is lined up in front of you. The visual impact cannot be described in a few words.

Especially the elite of the elite of the Longyou Army.

The soaring evil spirit gushed out from the phalanx.

"Longyou Army, Xia Yuanzheng, the battalion commander who broke the camp, has seen His Royal Highness Chu, and I wonder if His Royal Highness's order can be brought." A middle-aged man with a fifth-rank cultivation, a burly figure, and wearing armor and helmets rode a horse and stopped in front of Li Chenghua. Down.
