"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, let's go into the city. Ignore the local officials here and take me directly to your Lord Hong."
As an envoy from the capital, with so many armed forces entering the city, of course he needs to report to the local government, but for some trivial matters, there is absolutely no need for Li Fan to come forward personally. Most of the ordinary officials are not willing to be tainted with the weirdness, like the Demon Suppression Division. departments have too close contact.
Unless their own family or relatives around them are in trouble, it will be useful to suppress the demons.
Wei Hufeng naturally understood this truth and took Li Chuan directly to their temporary residence.
This place is an official building located in the southwest corner of the city. It looks dilapidated and dilapidated.
Hong Yingyang was recuperating in the largest private courtyard inside. When Li Fan entered, he found that he was still lying in the room and did not come out to greet him.
In the courtyard, someone was fanning a fire and boiling medicine in front of a small stove, while several loyal guards looked on.
The whole yard was filled with a lingering special smell, which seemed to be the smell of sulfur, but it was not sulfur.
"See Mr. Li!"
Seeing Li Fan coming, several guards quickly came forward to see him.
Li Fan passed them and walked straight into the room, all the way to the innermost part.
Hong Yingyang was lying on the bed inside. It was obviously a hot July day, but he was still covered with a thick quilt. It was suffocating to look at it.
Li Fan's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at his face. He found that the entire human figure was bone-shape and his skin was extremely pale. It looked as if all the blood had been sucked out by some terrifying monster.
He did not fall asleep, but lay there with his eyes slightly closed, recuperating.
When he noticed someone coming in, he didn't raise his head and just asked: "Who is it?"
Li Chuan cupped his hands and saluted: "Master Hong, I am Li Chuan, the son of Wu'an Marquis Li Xin, and the current master of the Shadow Capture Hall. I have been ordered to come to meet you."
"It turns out to be Master Li. Are you here so soon?"
Hong Yingyang moved and seemed to want to sit up.
Li Fan was very aware and stepped forward to help him. He only felt that the arms and shoulders he touched were cold and hard, and his whole body seemed to be withered by ice.
"Haha...it makes Master Li laugh. Isn't it pitiful that an old bone has become like this?"
Hong Yingyang noticed Li Fan's hesitation and smiled bitterly.
"Master Hong spent his whole life in the army serving the country and the people."
Li Chuan answered the question incorrectly.
"Do you serve the country and the people throughout your life as a soldier?" Hong Yingyang smiled bitterly, "If this is the case, this life of this old man has not been wasted.
But you and I both know that Tiangang Hall is not a place for the country and the people. It is just a place to run errands for the emperor and seek immortality. "
"this……"
It was really hard for Li Fan to accept this kind of words for a while.
This old man is about to die, and he has no taboos in saying anything, but he is not good at talking nonsense.
I can only respond with silence.
Hong Yingyang also knew Li Fan's concerns and did not talk much about this topic. Instead, he said: "Marquis Wu An must have told you the cause and effect, so I won't go into details. I'll keep the story short.
】
This time I called you here, and I have basically given up on retrieving the secret file, and instead delayed their decryption time, and prepared for the chaos that will follow.
If the secret files of Tianzi No. 001 are made public, the entire world of aliens may fall into great panic and chaos. The grassy rivers and lakes will also lose their awe of the imperial court, and the Zhenmo Division will surely face a huge impact.
But we cannot prevent this, and we can only try to avoid the worst case scenario. "
"Since destroying their sacrifice can prevent the use of the Inanimate Mother Statue, why not keep going? If it is not convenient for seniors to take action, I can do it for you."
"Haha, Mr. Li is interested. You are young and powerful, and your ideas are different from those of us old people. However, you may not know some of the inside information very clearly, that is, the Gu Heart Demon Sect has already grasped relevant clues. This The theft of a secret file is just the key to unlocking the last link.
In other words, even if the imperial court does not have this secret file, it is still possible for the Gu Heart Demon Sect to learn the truth of the matter.
Otherwise, the court could have destroyed it from the beginning, so why would it keep a file? "
"this……"
Li Fan thought about it and felt that it should be so.
If the benefits of destroying secret files are greater than keeping them, there is no need to painstakingly record them.
What is more likely is that the impact of that incident is definitely not small, and all forces may have a rough idea, but it is not necessarily the case that the imperial court knows the full picture.
As an ancient sect that was active more than two hundred years ago, the Gu Heart Demon Sect once even swept over half of the country, and it must have already mastered a lot of substantial evidence.
In fact, their predecessors once knew it, but they failed to keep the truth in their files and pass it down.
"Haha, sooner or later you will know about this matter, but your generation may not be ready to face the truth..."
Hong Yingyang smiled meaningfully, but his tone was very strict and he did not reveal anything.
"You must know how to delay their decryption, and you don't need my guidance.
In addition, some of my confidants have already spread out to carry out this task secretly.
Retrieving the secret file is difficult to do, but it is much easier to sabotage and hinder the sacrifice. Someone will naturally do it for me. You don't have to worry too much, just go with the flow.
On the contrary, there is another thing that I am worried about. "
When Hong Yingyang said this, he paused for a while and then spoke slowly.
"That's the weirdness I control in myself, which will be released after death and cause huge disasters.
Hong is not talented and cannot be called a powerful person, but he has managed to master the treacherous puzzle at the level of a big demon, and he is a quite complete big demon.
If they control my body after my death and cause trouble everywhere...
Probably no less than the giant disaster that night! "
"What?" Li Tongkong was shocked.
"Ah, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that my control over Weirdness is better than that of the giant. It's just that the degree of control is different."
Hong Yingyang obviously knew that Li Fan already knew the truth about the giant, and gave him a meaningful look.
"The so-called giant disaster is nothing more than your great-grandfather pretending to be a corpse and being woken up to stretch his muscles and eat some snacks.
That actually doesn't matter at all. It hasn't really gotten out of control, otherwise, it wouldn't be enough for a big demon.
And the weirdness in me... I'm afraid I will completely lose control after death.
When the time comes, they will be completely released! "
