Seeing the increasingly turbulent river of blood, it washed away buildings one after another and was about to destroy the restaurant at the feet of the three of them.
Li Ang took a deep breath and was about to crush the ink-colored jade pendant.
Boom! !
A deafening loud noise resounded high in the sky,
A huge crack was torn open in the blood-colored sky, and a vast white light shone in from the crack. Through the white light, a vague and burly figure could be vaguely seen, slowly descending.
"Go back, this is not the place for you three."
A cold and deep voice sounded in the ears of the three of them. The next moment, the three of them were dragged up by an inexplicable force and thrown into the sky.
When he opened his eyes again, Li Ang found himself lying on his back on the bed, with the strong feeling of weightlessness and the dizziness caused by the terrifying acceleration still lingering in his mind.
"What just happened in the Blood River Fantasy Land was not a dream."
Li Ang clenched his fists, his muscles were not sore, and he wore the black jade pendant close to his body, but part of his spiritual energy was actually consumed.
At this time, Chai Cuiqiao was still sleeping on the bed on the other side of the bedroom. Li Ang thought for a while, got up from the bed, got dressed, left a note on the table, and then sat in the hall and waited for someone to knock on the door.
The fact was just as he thought. In less than half a quarter of an hour, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard. Behind the door was a group of Zhenfusi soldiers holding lanterns and a carriage engraved with the Zhenfusi pattern.
The soldier raised his hands and said respectfully: "Are you Mr. Li Ang and Li Xiaolang from the academy? Our commander invites you to come over."
Li Ang nodded, closed the courtyard door, got into the carriage, and thought silently.
The commander-in-chief of the Zhenfu Division, Lin Hongbo, is a martial arts master.
Was it him who appeared in the blood river fantasy just now?
Li Ang was not surprised by the quick action of the Zhenfu Division. The Jianyue Theater Troupe is located in the most prosperous West Market in Chang'an. It would be fine if the Blood River did not break out. Once it breaks out and makes a fuss, it will be easy to be suppressed by the many eyes, eyes and eyes and countless means. Found by the company.
The carriage drove eastward and came to Banzhengfang.
The headquarters of the Zhenfu Division is located south of the Youjun Patrol Court. The overall architectural pattern is not much different from that of Zhenzhou Town Fusi, except that the area is larger, the pavilions are higher, and it is colder.
Li Ang was led to the courtyard, where he saw Yang Yu and Li Wei, who were being invited by a carriage. The three of them exchanged glances.
"Did Commander Lin save us just now?"
Yang Yu whispered: "When I came here, I saw that a corner of the Luoyang Building in the West City had collapsed, and the Jinwu Guards and Chang'an County government officials were evacuating."
"It is estimated that the movement in the Blood River spread to reality and attracted the Zhenfu Division."
Li Wei said softly: "Since Commander Lin has taken action, the Blood River should have been suppressed by now. You may have come to us just to inquire and collect evidence."
"It's good that it didn't cause too much damage."
Li Ang nodded. Blood River is a second-class alienated substance and is extremely harmful. If placed in the wild near ordinary people's living areas, it is likely to cause serious disasters.
It was a blessing in misfortune that the attack was suppressed as soon as it broke out in Chang'an City.
But here comes the question, how did the blood river appear in the body of the old woman in gray? Seal it by some means?
Or is it that the Jian Yue Troupe is a spy sent by the Zhou Kingdom and wants to release a large-scale blood river in Chang'an?
Not to mention how much damage this method can cause, Zhenfusi and Xuegong are not vegetarians.
The city of Chang'an is neither too small nor too big. If a significant change occurs anywhere, monks from the Zhuxiao Realm can arrive in an instant.
While Li Ang was deep in thought, two soldiers came over and asked Li Ang and the others to go to the side hall.
There were already people waiting in the side hall.
Lin Hongbo, the commander-in-chief of the Zhenfu Division, worshiped Shen Tuyu in the Taiji Palace, and offered wine to Chen Danqiu in the Xuegong Palace.
It's not surprising that Lin Hongbo and Shen Tuyu appear here. The former is the commander-in-chief of the Zhenfu Division, and the latter is enshrined in the palace and has the official position of Si Tiantai Young Supervisor to ensure the safety of Chang'an for the saint.
As for Chen Danqiu...it seems that he lives in Yanshoufang, located east of West Market. Maybe he also heard the movement of the Blood River and came here on behalf of the academy.
"Disciples have seen wine sacrifices, commander-in-chief Lin, and young eunuch Shentu."
Li Ang and the three of them bowed their hands and saluted.
Lin Hongbo waved his hands expressionlessly and said straight to the point: "Were you trapped in the illusion of the blood river just now? Tell me what you saw and encountered."
Since the three of them were all disciples of the Academy, and this was an unforeseen disaster, the Zhenfu Division did not use the method of interrogating suspects to record confessions.
Li Wei and Yang Yu didn't dare to hide anything, so they told them everything. Li Ang hid the part about Mo Si, and only said that he jumped between the rooftops of the city walls, saw the skin of the old woman in gray breaking apart on its own, etc. .
Lin Hongbo thought for a moment, tapped his fingers on the ebony table a few times, asked his men outside the house to bring the two bodies in on stretchers, and asked, "Are these these two people you saw in the illusion?"
The two corpses on the stretcher were a middle-aged man in brocade and an old woman in gray.
The former had no wounds on his body, but his face was bleeding.
The skin of the latter's arm was shattered, exactly the same as in the environment, but there was a rusty bronze nail stuck diagonally in his heart.
Li Ang nodded and quickly pieced together the entire incident in his mind——
The old woman in gray from the Jian Yue Troupe, for some reason her body was attached to something alienated from the blood river.
Li Ang, Yang Yu, Li Wei and the man in brocade came into contact with the blood of the Blood River while watching the Jian Yue Troupe's performance.
So I was pulled into a fantasy tonight.
The man in brocade clothes was killed in the illusion, and he also died in the real world.
The old woman in gray clothes died of her own accord, unknown whether she died of old age or for some other reason, causing the blood river to break out.
The bloody river that broke out caused commotion in the Luoyang Building in Xishi City in the real world.
He ordered Lin Hongbo, the commander-in-chief of the Zhenfu Division, to appear, destroy a corner of the Luoyang Tower, and use the alienated bronze nail to seal the body of the old woman in gray.
Now the Zhenfu Division has called Li Ang and the others over for questioning, just to find out why there is a river of blood in the body of the old woman in gray.
It is also for this reason that the imperial palace enshrines Shen Tuyu and the academy offers wine to Chen Danqiu here.
"Before she died, the old woman in gray said, 'Three more to go?'"
Lin Hongbo said suddenly.
"yes."
Li Ang nodded, "After saying this, her body shrank by itself."
"..."
Lin Hongbo looked at each other, Shen Tuyu and Chen Danqiu, and announced that everything was alright. He asked Li Ang and the other three to go back to their homes, and asked his men to carry the body of the man in brocade clothes out of the house and close the door.
This room is specially built and has a soundproofing effect.
Lin Hongbo pulled out the long sword at his waist and cut the skin of the old woman in gray on the back of her neck, revealing the black paper hidden under the skin.
Gold lines are used on the paper to outline complicated and obscure lines. Just looking at them makes your mind tingle.
"Only those at high levels in the Zhuxiao Realm can write this, the Demon Sealing Talisman."
Lin Hongbo's tone was as cold as ice, and his talisman skills became increasingly difficult to advance as he went up.
The number of Zhuxiao realm talisman masters in the world can be counted with two hands.
The magic-sealing talisman that can seal alienated objects and invalidate their mutant abilities is one of the highest achievements that a talisman master can achieve.
"Someone sealed the blood river into the demon-sealing talisman. Then implanted it into the back of the old woman's neck and asked her to take the demon-sealing talisman to Chang'an and activate it regularly."
Lin Hongbo's cold tone contained overwhelming anger. The Demon-Sealing Talisman is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless monks over thousands of years, and it is the last line of defense for mankind against alienated objects.
But now, it is being used as a malicious weapon to harm Chang'an.
"It should not be Zhou Guo's handiwork,"
Shen Tuyu sighed, "Using the Demonic Sealing Talisman as a weapon is too complicated and uncertain. Besides, blood river is not the most dangerous alienated object that can cause the greatest harm.
In addition, Zhou Guo is also afraid that we will retaliate equally.
It's more like..."
"Demonstration."
Chen Danqiu added with a solemn expression: "The person who drew this talisman is demonstrating against us.
He is telling us that he has the means to cause heavy losses to the country of Yu.
A high-level Talisman Master in the Zhuxiao Realm... is indeed capable of doing this. "
The three people in the room couldn't help but fall into silence.
Even though they are all Zhuxiao Realm monks, they may not be afraid of the unknown Talisman Master in a life-and-death fight.
But the security war to protect the people of Yu State,
A one-on-one life-and-death fight with a monk is not a concept at all.
A high-level talisman master in the Zhuxiao Realm can draw countless talisman papers, and pass them one by one to the Yu Kingdom using the body of an old woman in gray, causing great harm to various states.
As for the Zhenfu Division and Xuegong, they didn't know how much it would cost to find him.
"If it's not Zhou Guo or Xi Jing, who could it be?"
Shen Tuyu murmured: "Every one of the Zhuxiao realm talisman masters in the world has been recorded.
No one has such a blood-and-blood feud with our Yu State - directly delivering aliens with the help of the demon-sealing talisman has already crossed the bottom line.
Once it happens, either you die or I live. "
"Brother Lin, can you reveal the demon-sealing talisman a little more?"
Chen Danqiu frowned and said: "The talisman paper, pen, ink, and the way of using the brush used by high-level talisman masters all have a strong personal imprint.
Maybe you can see some traces in the style of the talisman paper. "
"Um."
Lin Hongbo drew his sword and continued to cut the skin on the back of the corpse's neck, revealing the complete demon-sealing talisman.
call--
The ever-burning lamp and candle on the table flickered fiercely,
The pupils of Lin Hongbo and three others suddenly shrank at the same time.
The lower left corner of the magic sealing talisman is stamped with a square mark pattern.
In the imprint, there is the character "Jun" which is upright, straight and generous.
Memories of the past flooded into the minds of the three Zhuxiao Realm monks at the same time. Chen Danqiu gritted his teeth and squeezed out three words from between his teeth, "Jun Qianzi..."
Fifteen years ago, he stole more than ten alienated objects from the Dongjun Tower of the Academy, and killed the Doctor of Fu Studies who had defected from the Yu Kingdom, including the Deputy Commander of the Zhenfu Division, the Imperial Palace Minister, and the Secretary of the Academy.
fifteen years,
Fifteen years later, Jun Qianzi's name appeared again in the Fusi of Chang'an Town, in this way.
"I will go back to Tai Chi Palace and report to His Majesty."
Palace enshrinement Shen Tuyu said without hesitation.
"I'll also go back to the Academy to find the Mountain Chief."
Chen Danqiu, who was offering wine in the academy, looked solemn. Two years ago, Lian Xuanxiao, the headmaster of the academy, personally announced the news that Jun Qianzi was dead.
And now, this name appears on the demon-sealing talisman that can only be written by high-level people in the Zhuxiao Realm...
What does this mean?
Chen Danqiu was very confused. It would be fine if this talisman paper was forged, but if it was real...
Shen Tuyu and Chen Danqiu said "Watch the corpse" and left the Zhenfu Division headquarters.
Lin Hongbo, the commander of the Zhenfu Department, pursed his lips tightly and looked at the black talisman paper buried in the flesh and blood.
His body, filled with hot energy and blood, couldn't help but feel a chill.
————
To Li Ang's surprise, not long after he returned to Jinchengfang, an officer from the Zhenfu Division came to visit him again. He warned Li Ang not to tell anyone about the Blood River.
Although Li Ang was a little surprised, this was a matter within the purview of the Zhenfu Division after all, so he nodded in agreement.
The next day, he inquired about rumors and found that the destruction of a corner of the Luoyang Tower seemed to have been covered up by Chang'an County as the building was in disrepair, suffered erosion from wind and rain, and collapsed on its own.
No one is responsible for this,
In addition to the management of Luoyang Building, which needs to pay a large amount of compensation to a handyman from the Jian Yue Theater Troupe who was killed by rubble.
As for the middle-aged man in brocade clothes who died in the Blood River Incident, he didn't cause much trouble at all. It was probably the Zhenfu Division who smoothed the matter over and covered it up as a cause of death.
As for Yang Yu and Li Wei, they also received a gag order.
When the school term started, the three of them met, and they tacitly agreed not to mention this matter, pretending that nothing had happened.
This can be considered a cruel side of the spiritual world.
Once you step into the palace and learn to practice, you will be surrounded by some strange events for various reasons.
It may be said that with greater ability comes greater responsibility.
It might be said that monks and aliens are attracted to each other.
Every year in Yu State, monks die in mysterious circumstances, even silently.
There was no time to express emotions, so Li Ang returned to the academy and once again devoted himself to his studies.
The incident at the Blood River sounded the alarm for him. The population of Chang'an City was as high as 3 million. Although there were Zhenfusi and Xuegong guarding the city, changes would still occur.
If in the illusion, Lin Hongbo, the commander of the Suppression Division, had arrived later, he might have used the black jade Perry's amulet.
The amulet can only be used once, and the disciples of the academy are destined to leave Chang'an and travel to various parts of the Yu Kingdom in the future.
Even for the purpose of protecting himself, Li Ang must seize the time to acquire knowledge and strengthen himself - through learning and earning money.
"I don't know what the situation is like at the patent office."
Li Ang sat on a stone bench by the lake, waiting for school time to arrive, silently clenching his fists.
