A few days later, Yu Zhi and his party entered Ximo Prefecture.
Stepping into the area of Xi Mozhou, the wind and sand became stronger. Half of it was mountains and half of it was sand.
In the past twenty days, Xiang Ji's rebels had completely occupied Cangzhou.
Xu Qing moved south from the northern border, and one hundred thousand northern border troops were stationed in Yangzhou Prefecture to resist Xiang Ji's rebels.
Xu Qing, who was good at defense, blocked Xiang Ji's offensive and saved Emperor Chu's life.
However, a sudden change occurred, and traces of night ghosts appeared everywhere in Yangzhou Prefecture, constantly killing people. Even in the military camps of the Northern Territory Army and the Yangzhou Army, night ghosts often attacked and killed them.
Xu Qing retreated and gave up one-third of Yangzhou Prefecture.
Rumors of Xiang Ji colluding with Yegui spread like wildfire.
Faced with the righteousness of the human race, many sects and aristocratic families who originally stood by and denounced Xiang Ji.
But to everyone's surprise, Night Ghost also launched a sneak attack on the Tiger Roar Army and various places in Nanzhou Prefecture.
This dragged everyone into a fog again.
Didn't Xiang Ji collude with Ye Gui, and Ye Gui just took advantage of the chaos?
The Tiger Roaring Army did not stop its offensive. The Northern Border Army suffered heavy losses and paid a heavy price to block Xiang Ji's army from Linshui Pass.
At the same time, there was turmoil in the Northern Territory without the Northern Territory Army.
In the Hundred Thousand Mountains, seven sects were destroyed by night ghosts.
These sects all have strong men of the eighth level of the Open Monument, and they can also be regarded as middle-class sects.
But they were massacred silently overnight, and everyone was drained of blood and turned into mummies.
The Shenyin Pavilion issued the Shenyin Order and summoned one hundred thousand mountain sects to fight against the night ghosts.
The disciples of the sect walked out of Shiwanda Mountain and joined forces with the Chu army to look for traces of night ghosts.
Within ten days, hundreds of night ghosts hiding in Beiliang Mansion were eradicated with the help of Shenyin Pavilion's Qimen Dunjia.
The world seemed to be boiling, and it was starting to get lively.
...
Yu Zhi, who was far away in Ximo Prefecture, couldn't help but frown while listening to the conversations of business travelers.
Xiang Ji colluded with Yegui.
This is an ironclad fact.
The two mountain cities and the Black Tiger are the best evidence.
But why did the night ghost attack and kill Xiang Ji's army?
This is where Yu Zhi gets confused.
Could it be that Xiang Ji directed and acted?
The turmoil in the northern border is not unusual in Yu Zhi's opinion.
In front of Cangshan Mountain, Cangshui's night ghost transformation has proved that night ghosts have already been hiding in Shiwan Mountain.
Perhaps there is also collusion with Cangshan.
Cangshan Mountain has been closed for nearly half a year, hiding from the eyes of the world. How will Cangshan respond next?
"Ruoruo, has the letter sent to Shenyin Pavilion arrived?" Yu Zhi asked.
Qiu Ruoruo replied: "It has been five days since the letter was sent, and it should have arrived at Shenyin Pavilion long ago. If there is a reply, it will arrive in these two days."
As soon as he finished speaking, a smart blue paper crane landed on the carriage window.
"The reply is here." Yu Zhi smiled.
Thousand Paper Cranes are the handiwork of Yan Yi, whom I haven’t seen for a long time.
A crisp ringing sound rang in Yu Zhi's ears, and he seemed to see the woman in green clothes coming and going like the wind.
Immediately, Thousand Paper Cranes turned into a blue light and fell in front of several people.
"Cangshan Mountain is closed. Mother and Uncle Nie have gone to Cangshan Mountain to investigate. Recently, disciples from various sects have been killed."
"Yuzhi, you have to protect yourself!"
Seeing this, Yu Zhi felt a little relieved.
With Yan Muyan and Nie Feng taking the lead, Shiwandashan will not be in chaos.
"Brother Xiaoyu, who is this girl?" Qiu Ruoruo asked jokingly.
Yu Lan hurriedly introduced: "This is the saint of Shenyin Pavilion - Yan Yi. She is also Uncle Li's daughter, and she is brother Xiaoyu's confidante."
Qiu Ruoruo pretended to be surprised and said, "Really? Brother Xiaoyu has so many confidantes."
"Go, go, what a confidante." Yu Zhi said.
The rebels in Nanzhou and the turmoil in the north made Yu Zhi feel that time was getting increasingly urgent.
Before this year, the night ghosts will completely go to war with the human world.
How to protect yourself when the time comes?
...
Miaoyin Temple is located in the mountains near Yumen City.
There are temples in the mountains and a giant Buddha holding flowers in the water.
Sects such as Miaoyin Temple are different from monk temples such as Xuankong Temple.
The disciples believe in Buddhism, but they do not need to practice as hard as the monks and observe the precepts.
If you want to get married, you can.
Zhu Qing and Zhu Lan learned that Yu Zhi had entered Ximo Prefecture and was waiting at the mountain gate today.
At noon, a carriage appeared in the sight of the two sisters.
"Master Yu, you are really here." Zhu Lan said in surprise.
Yu Zhi smiled and said: "Miss Zhulan, do you think I will break my promise?"
Zhu Lan's thoughts were revealed and she smiled awkwardly.
Zhu Qing was more steady and explained from the side: "Zhu Lan didn't mean that. I thought Mr. Yu would come to Ximo Prefecture later. I never thought he would come so soon."
Yu Zhi introduced Qiu Ruoruo and others to Zhu Qing and Zhu Lan.
Immediately, several people walked towards the mountain together.
Zhu Lan also introduced the history of Miaoyin Temple.
Qiu Ruoruo asked doubtfully: "So the disciples of Miaoyin Temple can also get married?"
Zhu Lan smiled and nodded. "If you meet the person you like, you can. But your partner cannot live in the mountains."
Yu Lan took the opportunity and said, "Then you should be careful with Brother Xiaoyu. He is a playboy, so don't fall in love with him."
As Yu Zhi's biggest anti-fan leader, Yu Lan never forgets to slander Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhizhen regretted bringing Yu Lan to Ximo Prefecture and swore in his heart.
I will never take Yu Lan out again in the future.
Qiu Ruoruo asked again: "Believe in Buddhism and practice Buddhism, but do not uphold the precepts. How can you become a Buddha?"
Zhu Qing looked at Qiu Ruoruo and said seriously: "Everyone in the world has a Buddha in their hearts. The Buddha in everyone's heart is so different. The only thing that is the same is to lead people to do good. This is the philosophy of Miaoyin Temple Buddha."
Qiu Ruoruo suddenly understood and responded respectfully: "Ruoruo has been taught."
Zhu Qing smiled slightly and continued walking towards the mountain.
In the mountains is the real Miaoyin Temple.
There was an old man sitting in the nunnery, dressed as a nun, holding a rosary and reading Buddhist scriptures.
The old man seemed to blend into the world, and the artistic conception of the Great Dao emerged with every move he made.
Obviously, this person is also a strong person in this world, and will not be weaker than Cang Biejie, who is at the peak of the ninth level of Kaibei.
"Master, Mr. Yu is here."
The old man opened his eyes, with a colorful light flowing in his eyes.
In the old man's clear eyes, Yu Zhi seemed to have seen through everything and had nothing to hide.
Suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, and then quickly disappeared.
"I've met all of you under the name of Mingjing."
Yu Zhi and others returned the gift one after another. "I've met Master Mingjing."
Looking like a bright mirror is what a nun should look like. Zhu Qing and Zhu Lan dress up elegantly, but they still cannot avoid the shadow of women in the world.
"Zhu Lan has already told me about Young Master Yu's demeanor on Zhujian Mountain. Heroes come from young, and even Li Haomiao back then was not as stunning and talented as Young Master Yu."
"Master Tai has seen my uncle?" Yu Zhi asked curiously.
Master Ming Jing shook his head and said calmly: "No. It was just polite words."
Yu Zhi's face darkened.
Qiu Ruoruo and others couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle.
Zhu Lan reminded in a low voice: "Master... I am a guest."
Master Mingjing said to Yu Zhi again: "I have met your mother, Jiang Xiyue."
"My mother?" Yu Zhike couldn't believe Master Mingjing, and reminded him: "Master, monks don't lie."
Master Ming Jing showed a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
"Back then, your mother was only as old as you. She was lively and smart, and she planned everything carefully. She turned the business of Jinxiufang and Fendiexuan into Miaoyin Temple. In those few months, the mountains were filled with the smell of powder and sandalwood. The smell is gone.”
"Therefore, the master of the nunnery was furious, severely punished the disciples, and ordered Jiang Xiyue not to enter Miaoyin nunnery again."
Ming Jing laughed a few times, thinking of interesting things.
"Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiyue didn't leave. She stayed in Yumen City for more than ten days and developed a powder called Tan Yun. Tan Yun has an elegant sandalwood fragrance, which makes the disciples flock to it."
"In those years, Fendiexuan made a lot of money at Miaoyin Temple."
Yu Zhi grinned.
My mother is quite capable.
Master Mingjing changed the subject and said: "I came here to see Mr. Yu only for one thing - the poison of peacock feathers."
Yu Zhi had already made seven or eight guesses in his mind.
Zhu Lan took over the conversation and said: "One of the masters in Miaoyin Temple was also poisoned by peacock feathers. This is a strange poison in the world. We have no antidote. I heard that Mr. Yu was once poisoned by peacock feathers and is now able to survive. Come down, there must be a way to detoxify it."
"So, please help Mr. Yu." Zhu Qing and Zhu Lan knelt down one after another.
Yu Zhi quickly helped the two of them up. He promised that the two of them could come to Miaoyin Temple to detoxify... There are specialties in the art.
This is not what Yu Zhi is good at.
"You two girls, to be honest, I had already anticipated some of this before coming to West Mozhou. It's just that my method of detoxification is a bit different, and there is no way that others can imitate it."
When Zhu Qing and Zhu Lan heard this, there was inevitably a look of disappointment in their eyes.
Yu Zhi continued: "However, now that I'm here, I'm not completely unprepared."
Yu Zhi pulled Yu Lan forward.
"My sister is proficient in medical skills and may be able to detoxify."
Yu Lan, dressed in blue, showed an innocent and cute smile. It's hard to believe that he is a famous doctor with this appearance.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't underestimate me." Yu Lan looked at the questioning looks of the two people.
Yu Zhi covered Yu Lan's mouth and continued: "Treating a disease requires multiple doctors and multiple methods. Besides, you two don't have any other ideas for the time being, right?"
Zhu Qing and Zhu Lan looked at each other and listened to Master Ming Jing's words: "Let this girl take a look."
"Yes, master."
After leaving Miaoyin Temple, Zhu Qing led a few people and walked deeper into the mountain.
On the road, many disciples from Miaoyin Temple looked at Yu Zhi curiously. He was one of the very few men in the mountain who was good-looking.
Yu Zhi was thick-skinned enough. After all, he had been carrying the shameful reputation for three years, so he could withstand the eyes of these female disciples.
"The young master is the master's uncle. He was poisoned by peacock feathers while traveling decades ago and fled back to Miaoyin Temple. The poison was fatal, but it is said that it was the master's master who forced the sword into the master's body. The poison of peacock feathers was suppressed in his body. But from then on, the young master also became delirious and suffered from the torture of peacock feathers all day long."
Yu Zhi was frightened. He had been poisoned by this poison before, and he knew how powerful it was.
If Feiying hadn't taken action and that little white flower, he would have died long ago.
This can only be called God's blessing.
But in the case of this young master, it was not luck. It was true strength that suppressed the peacock feather poison, or it took decades.
