Daliang Mountain.
Around noon, Zhou Xingwu and three others entered the mountain and arrived in front of a ruined temple in a certain mountain.
After coming out of the Lu Mansion, Zhou Xingwu didn't say a word anymore. He just took Qu Li and Xiao Aguo directly out of the city and directly came to Liangshan.
And this is actually the main purpose of their profession.
The royal horse stood in front of the temple, and Zhou Xingwu suddenly spoke.
"Little Aguo?"
"Um."
"How should we solve this problem of dragon energy? I don't mean killing ghosts and exorcising evil spirits, but the solution to the root cause."
Little Aguo thought for a while and gave the answer softly.
"When the emperor abdicates, the dragon energy problem will be solved. This is what the master said."
Zhou Xingwu nodded lightly.
In fact, in his heart, he already knew the answer. Now if he asked again, he didn't know how he felt.
I dismounted and walked towards the ruined temple in the mountains.
Looking at the collapsed gate, the collapsed and smashed mountain god statue, and the five devoured and mostly rotten corpses on the ground, Zhou Xingwu inhaled and exhaled, suppressing all distracting thoughts in his heart.
Soon, he showed a big smile.
There was a sound in the distance.
"Sister Ling, I'm here to see you!"
There was no response from Lin Zhong, and Zhou Xingwu was not disappointed.
Just waved to little Aguo and Quli.
"Come, help me tidy up this place."
Glancing at the corpses that had been eaten by wild beasts in the temple, Zhou Xingwu sighed suddenly, with a gentle twinkle in his eyes.
"Sister Ling will definitely not be used to living in such a messy place."
Little Aguo wanted to say that Senior Sister Ling must not live here, but when she saw the soft light in Zhou Xingwu's eyes and the slight smile, she couldn't say a word.
…
A few hours later, the mountain temple had been cleaned up spotlessly.
A huge fire was lit, dispelling the darkness and bringing warmth.
The three of them sat around the fire, Qu Li silent.
Zhou Xingwu just kept filling the fire with firewood.
However, little Aguo's young mind is a little restless.
He looked at the mountain temple up and down, and soon started talking to himself.
"The border area between countries is where the dragon energy of the two countries meets."
"Although they intersect, they are weak, and the dragon auras of different countries do not blend with each other. Instead, they cancel each other out. Therefore, it is very easy for evil spirits to breed at the borders."
"Logically speaking, there are probably evil things everywhere in Liangshan, so how can there be room for smuggling and breaking into the mountain?"
At this point, Xiao Aguo suddenly turned back and looked at Zhou Xingwu.
"Brother Wu, I have read in the classics that Master sent Senior Sister Ling here twenty years ago. It was because Senior Sister Ling acted as the mountain god to suppress Liangshan on the border that this place could be so stable, but I really didn't know Before Senior Sister Ling arrived, how did we deal with this place?"
Zhou Xingwu thought for a while and said: "Thirty years ago, the Ling family was responsible for suppressing Daliang Mountain. The Ling family was a family of immortal cultivators. At that time, the ghosts breeding in Liangshan could not only be used as whetstones for the children of the family, but also evil spirits. Some of the materials on the body are also valuable to immortal cultivators."
"After what happened to the Ling family, Xichang temporarily took over Daliang Mountain. It wasn't until Sister Ling came back that our people secretly evacuated."
Little Aguo nodded in understanding and asked curiously again.
"By the way, Brother Wu, what kind of person is my Senior Sister Ling?"
Little Aguo was young and had never met Ling Piaomiao. She only learned that she had such a foundation-building ghost cultivator from her senior brother and master.
Zhou Xingwu was suddenly in a daze for a moment.
He quickly smiled.
"Sister Ling... she is very gentle and beautiful."
"I still remember that I was only six years old at that time, and Sister Ling was fifteen years old... She often came to the palace to play with me and my brothers, as if she was our eldest sister..."
"Our favorite thing is to sneak out of the palace and go to the Plum Garden to watch a play."
"That Hua Dan's singing is really nice..."
"But what I liked at that time was not the opera, but the candied haws of sugar-coated haws from Meiyuan."
The soft light in his eyes grew stronger, but Zhou Xingwu soon closed his eyes.
Time flies by, looks grow old easily, and the past goes with the wind...
The old beauty cannot stop the cruelty of reality.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a dark wind blowing from the outside world.
Zhou Xingwu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the door.
Then the dilapidated temple door was slowly pushed open, and a young, beautiful and graceful figure walked in from the door.
She looked around the newly renovated mountain temple, then looked at Zhou Xingwu and the three people sitting around the fire, and soon showed a gentle smile.
"Xiao Wu, why did you come to see your sister?"
Zhou Xingwu was speechless, but his eyes slowly became moist.
…
After experiencing a brief awkward encounter, Zhou Xingwu's conversation quickly became more intense.
Looking at the young female ghost next to him, seeing that its face was exactly the same as thirty years ago, Zhou Xingwu talked about the interesting things that happened in Kyoto recently, and talked about various things when he was young.
The twinkling light in his eyes also contained a hint of admiration and love.
Zhou Xingwu chatted for nearly an hour.
He kept talking, and Ling Pianmiao kept smiling and listening.
It wasn't until Zhou Xingwu finished speaking that he scratched his head awkwardly and grinned at Ling Piaomiao like a big child.
"Inexplicably, I just said so much..."
Ling Piaomiao blinked: "It doesn't matter, I like listening very much."
"You came to Daliang Mountain to find me this time. You must have something serious to do, right?"
The Daliang Mountains border Zhou Liang.
In the eyes of high-level people in both countries, this place is almost as if it does not exist. No big shot would come here for no reason.
Zhou Xingwu was about to say something, but he seemed to be stuck in his throat and was speechless.
Little Aguo said bluntly: "Senior Sister Ling."
Ling Piaomiao nodded to little Aguo: "Little junior brother."
This little junior brother made little Aguo smile shyly, and then he looked serious again and said: "I heard from the master that the senior sister is also proficient in the art of observing qi. I wonder if the senior sister can see that the dragon qi of Liang and Liang two countries this week Are they all declining?”
Ling Piaomiao nodded slightly.
"Of course I can see it."
The lineage of national masters are good at the art of observing qi. Although Ling Mianmiao is a ghost cultivator, he is too talented and has learned the art of observing qi quite profoundly.
And she is even more aware of the consequences of a weakened dragon energy.
Before Little Aguo could speak again, Ling Mianmiao said again: "But I am guarding Liangshan and cannot easily leave the mountain. I can only ensure that evil spirits do not run rampant in Liangshan. I can't do anything else."
Little Aguo bowed his hands to Ling Miao Miao: "Senior Sister, I didn't come here just because I wanted Senior Sister to come out."
"But based on reliable information, I'm afraid there will be a big chaos in Liang Kingdom."
"Senior Sister is guarding Liangshan. I hope that Senior Sister can withstand the pressure. When chaos breaks out in Liang Kingdom, don't let any monsters and evildoers enter the territory of our Zhou Kingdom!"
At this time, the state of Zhou was in a state of decline, which was itself difficult, and the state of Liang was even worse than the state of Zhou.
Once chaos breaks out in the Liang Kingdom and there are many ghosts and evil spirits, it is very likely that ghosts will enter the country through Liangshan and cause trouble.
Ling Piaomiao has a clear mind and knows all the rules inside.
She simply nodded: "I am bound to do this."
After saying that, he changed the topic: "But I only care about ghost affairs and ignore human affairs."
Zhou Xingwu and the others were stunned, but they didn't know what Ling Pianmiao meant...
However, the three of them didn't say anything.
Listen to Ling Pianmiao continue: "There is another thing, but I need Xiao Wu to do a favor for my sister."
Zhou Xingwu hurriedly said: "Sister Ling, please tell me."
Ling Piaomiao's eyes were slightly dazed for a moment.
It seemed that he was thinking of another man who appeared in this mountain temple more than a month ago.
Young, handsome, sword-wielding, fierce and restrained.
He smelled good and bad.
The fragrance is due to the fact that there are not many poisons in the body and the body is transparent and pure.
It smells bad because he doesn't know what method he used to expel the poison from his body, but he didn't wash it thoroughly.
I thought about the anger on that person again.
Purple black, ferocious, fierce.
Ling Piaomiao had never seen such Qi before, and had no idea what this color of Qi represented.
But that didn't stop Ling Miaomiao from helping Lu Ming on a whim.
Anyway, it’s just a matter of effort.
Thinking of this, Ling Piaomiao suddenly spoke.
"The leader of the Three Phases Gang, Lu, of Xuanshui City, has a good relationship with me. Xiao Wu, please help me bring him a message when you go down the mountain."
Zhou Xingwu was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said, "Sister, if you speak, Xiao Wu will take care of the matter. But I don't know what he said?"
Ling Piaomiao smiled and said: "With swords in the world, you can move according to your heart."
"It's time for Mr. Lu to set off for the matter in Kyoto."
