Fanyun City, the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion.
Lin Jizheng was sitting with his head high, and there were two figures standing on the left and right below.
Zhang Jiang was wearing heavy armor and his cloak was fluttering.
Qi Zhan's back was slightly bent, and his face was as sinking as water.
Liu Chengzheng, who was in the middle, bowed and reported back.
"...According to the reply from the sect, Master Ke has already set off, and he should have arrived here three days ago. I and the sect have sent people to search in two directions, but still no trace of him. Only half of the crutch was found near Black Crow Ridge. .”
As he spoke, Liu Cheng took out half a foot-long wooden stick from his sleeve and raised his hands above his head.
Lin Ji frowned slightly, raised his hand, and the wooden staff flew out and landed in front of him.
Liu Cheng quickly explained: "This is something that Master Ke always keeps with him. It is polished from high-grade iron nanmu. It is difficult to even leave scratches on an ordinary sword, let alone cutting it! But Heavenly Official, you Look, the break suddenly became as slanted as a mirror. It was obviously broken by some sharp weapon and treasure! In addition, the Black Crow Ridge is far to the northwest, and there is no way from Guanyun Mountain to Fanyun City. Headmaster Ke You should not go around when you are in a hurry. So, I’m thinking about it, Master Ke might..."
Lin Ji grabbed the wooden stick, looked around, and suddenly asked: "Who is he traveling with?"
Liu Cheng replied: "Senior Sister Alan and two followers."
"Who knows his whereabouts?"
"I'm here with senior brother Acheng."
Lin Ji nodded and thought to himself: "Although the blind man Ke's cultivation level is not high, he is still at the peak of the Six Realms. After Feng Yuhai's chaos, none of the Yunzhou sects have entered the Dao realm. If outsiders hadn't intervened, there should be no one. People can harm him!"
"A Cheng's cultivation has long been abolished, and Liu Cheng is only in the middle stage of the Four Realms. Even if he has evil intentions and becomes a traitor, Guanshan Sect will not be able to take charge of them after that. What's more, these two people were blinded by Ke He is sent to Fanyun Chongcheng and the other is guarding the Guanshan headquarters, so he is very important. The Guanshan Sect has just taken control of the various sects, and the two of them are still fledgling. Now is not the time to take action..."
"Besides, if you know that I am in Fanyun City and you still dare to act like this, you are not afraid that I will track you down all the way... huh?"
Suddenly, Lin Ji was startled, and suddenly thought in his mind: "Maybe this was originally meant for me!"
He knocked on the armrest, thought for a while, and suddenly asked Qi Zhan as if nothing had happened: "Mr. Qi, do you have enough food?"
Qi Zhan was slightly startled, and quickly bent his back and said: "Back to Tianguan, the remaining grain in the city was only enough for three months. Recently, the refugees outside the city were sent to harvest the wasteland, and they are gradually able to be self-sufficient. In addition, I just received a report. , Lu Jiayuan sent a large amount of food supplies from Weicheng, and I have sent my son to go and meet them."
"Yes." Lin Ji nodded slightly, then looked at Zhang Jiang and said, "How is the morale?"
"Return to the Heavenly Official!" Zhang Jiang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "There are currently fifty thousand troops in the city. Ten thousand are based on the soldiers of Zhenbei. They have plenty of weapons and armor and can fight to the death at any time! The rest are all selected from the youth of the refugees. Strong, although the training is tangible, the blood has not yet been seen."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Lin Ji said in a cold voice: "Are the heavy troops gathered just to defend this small Fanyun City? Immediately send an order: flatten Yunzhou, and point the flag at Jingxiang!"
"Ah?!" Zhang Jiang was startled, and then he punched hard with a loud bang, causing the armor leaves to rustle: "Yes!".
Then he strode like the wind, heading straight for the door.
"Liu Cheng."
"Yes." Liu Cheng responded quickly.
"Send a message to Ah Cheng, asking him to temporarily take over the position of leader and take charge of all the factions in Yunzhou. We will work together to ensure that there is no mistake!"
"Yes!" Liu Cheng responded, then raised his head and asked carefully: "Then, Master Ke..."
"I have my own arrangements, you go first!"
"Yes!" Liu Cheng didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly bowed and left.
Qi Zhan also bowed his hands and was about to leave when he saw Lin Ji playing with the broken half of the staff and suddenly asked: "Mr. Qi, do you know Qingqiu's roots?"
"This..." Qi Zhan hesitated and said, "The Heavenly Official suspects that this is the work of the Qingqiu Fox Clan?"
"No need to doubt it!" Lin Ji said, raising his hand, and the half of the wooden stick fell directly into Qi Zhan's hand.
Qi Zhan was a little puzzled, and then he opened his consciousness to take a look, and immediately discovered the clue. There was a faint trace of evil spirit remaining in the wooden staff.
Lin Ji Youran said: "Although I have never been to Qingqiu, I have had great grievances with several fox demons. Their methods can be seen at a glance. Judging from the broken marks alone, it is indeed the method of the Qingqiu Fox Clan. But he deliberately concealed it a little bit, which is obviously an attempt to cover up and have ulterior motives!"
"I have been to Yunzhou several times before. The dividing point between the two demon clans, Qingqiu and Ziyun, is the Black Crow Ridge. It is said that after the death of the Ziyun and Qingniu clan, most of the territory was occupied by the Fox clan. Now, this Black Crow Ridge should be the territory of the Fox Clan."
"Headmaster Ke came from Guanyun Mountain and detoured for more than a hundred miles for no reason, but something happened in Black Crow Ridge. There was no trace of the four people in the group, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, but they left half of the wooden staff behind. …What is this if it’s not an obvious trap?”
"It's just... I don't know if the person who pulled the strings wants to use me to kill the fox, or is using this as a guide to kill me!"
Qi Zhan stroked his long beard and said, "In this case, as long as the Heavenly Official remains silent and does not go, no matter what the person's plan is, won't it all come to nothing?"
"On the contrary!" Lin Ji said with a smile, "If I didn't go, I would have fallen into his trap! He would use Fanyun City as a prison and trap me here."
"Oh?" Qi Zhan narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly said: "So... the departure of Tianguan soldiers from Yunzhou is also a lead?"
"It's just one of them!" Lin Ji raised a finger and said, "Back then, the Holy Emperor sealed the pass with a sword and the dragon rose from Yunzhou. When Qin Ye unified the Central Plains, he also set up his troops here. I also took advantage of the situation and raised my flag to join his army. , let’s see how he responds!”
"Secondly, when the new sect of Guanshan Sect was first established, Ah Cheng's cultivation was completely destroyed. But I just appointed him as the leader. I deliberately left a loophole. He did not use Guanshan Sect as a breakthrough point, and wanted to establish a new branch in Yunzhou. Do you want to make a fuss about the Taoism? Then I will leave a broken dragon and see where it ends up!"
"Thirdly, I neither go to Qingqiu nor guard Fanyun, nor do I follow the army to Beijing and Xiangxiang. Instead... I go straight to Jieyan and see if he sticks or not!"
Qi Zhan nodded repeatedly and suddenly said in surprise: "Tianguan wants to go to the mirage wall?! This is impossible, then..."
Lin Ji waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "After the death of Qin, the world was in chaos. But the eye in the chaos is the mirage wall! This is where the disaster begins and the chaos begins!"
"Three places, Fanyun City, Qingqiu Land, and Mirage Wall, are in harmony with each other. I went straight to Mirage Wall just to find out the reality of that person's chaos! I just don't know what Qingqiu's background is, whether he is the flag bearer or a chess piece."
Qi Zhan replied: "When the Holy Emperor raised his army, the Qingqiu and Ziyun clans followed him. Later, they were granted the title here for generations. Throughout the following thousands of years, whether it was the disappearance of the Holy Emperor in the ancient times and the chaos in the Nine Provinces, or the Qin family's army to unify the Central Plains , the Qingqiu clan has never participated, and has always adhered to the holy land granted by our ancestors. The occasional demon fox roaming the world is not the intention of the Qingqiu clan. "
"Previously, the clouds in Yunzhou were weird. The Qingqiu clan had nothing to do with all the major forces, neither enemies nor friends. Now, it's hard to guess whether they are being framed and used by others, or whether they have ulterior motives!"
"It is said that there is an eight-tailed old fox in the land of Qingqiu. But I have been born in Yunzhou since I was a child. For hundreds of years, I have never seen her, and I have never even heard of her leaving the ancestral land. In addition, the seven-tailed demon There are only three or five of them, and they don’t have much contact with the outside world.”
"The land of Qingqiu is even more mysterious. It is shameful to say that although it is only less than 800 miles away from Fanyun, I have never been there. I don't know much about its details than outsiders. However, with her Qingqiu, What Qiu Su did, it doesn’t look like he did it on purpose!”
Lin Ji smiled and said: "Mr. Qi may not know something. The new queen of the Nanhai Demon Kingdom is the Qingqiu Fox Clan! Her ambitions are no less than Qin Ye's! No matter whether she was framed or this was her true intention. Let me first Being alone, let’s see how she copes with it!”
After saying that, Lin Ji stood up, cupped his hands slightly towards Qi Zhanzhan and said, "Now that I'm gone, Mr. Qi will have to worry more!"
"Don't dare!" Qi Zhan hurriedly bowed his head and returned the salute: "I should try my best!"
When he looked up again, Lin Ji was already gone.
…
South China Sea Monster Kingdom.
Through the glittering golden spiritual jewel curtain, one can vaguely see a slender and long white fox lying on the large and dazzling soft roof.
The seven long tails sometimes spread out like a fan, and sometimes they fell like a shadow.
Waves of fragrant wind filled the air, making people drowsy and far away from heaven.
The soft chants came and went one after another, and anyone who heard it would have their bones broken and numb, and their mind would be confused.
Crunch, crunch...
The bed shook slightly and the sounds swayed.
"Ah, baby! Baby! You're so...so good."
An old, excited voice came quickly.
Then, it turned into a series of exhausted snores.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a light as thin as a needle flew from the window.
It landed directly on the table next to the crown covered with sacred stones and jade, and turned into a colorful bird the size of a thumb.
Chirp, chirp...
The little bird chirped repeatedly, which was replaced by a long and leisurely sigh from the bead curtain.
Then, the bead curtain moved slightly, and a long, slender, boneless white jade hand stretched out from it.
The palm of the hand is slightly curved, holding a few yellow rice grains.
The little bird landed in the palm of his hand, swallowed up the grains of rice one after another, and then turned into a scroll.
The shining golden light of the writings floated up from the scroll, and then disappeared out of thin air in the blink of an eye.
"waste!"
The voice in the bead curtain was enough to make people forget about it. It seemed that he was very angry because of the lingering grievances. He cursed in a low voice and touched it with his jade hand.
The scroll turned into a stream of light again and flew out of the window.
It is getting smaller and thinner, and even though there are thousands of monsters below, no one can see it carefully.
Getting faster and faster, even with the strong wind and waves outside, I can't catch up all the way.
As fast as a stream of light, as fast as lightning.
Fishing boats and palaces turned into dreams in an instant.
Pieces of manors and desolate fields turned into smoke in an instant.
The mottled scenery of Yangzhou, the emptiness of the imperial city, and the desolation of Yunzhou... passed by in a flash.
The light passed all the way through the land of Kyushu, swept down along a slightly raised mountain ridge as dark as ink, and went straight into a piece of light blue clouds.
It wasn't until here that the existence of the streamer seemed to be finally discovered.
On the mountain ridge and by the river, white foxes of all sizes looked up at the same time.
In each of those eyes, there was a burning light that suddenly gave rise to a thousand brilliance.
Shouting, laughing, chasing all the way.
There were more and more white foxes on the road, some with two tails, some with three.
All the white foxes jumped all the way and stopped in front of a huge square tombstone that almost reached the sky.
The tombstone was shrouded in mist, and all the handwriting could not be seen clearly, but could only be vaguely visible. Every stroke was cut horizontally and vertically, as if cut by a knife.
The light flashed past the tombstone, rushed up the steps that were so high that it could not be seen at a glance, and got into a huge gap like a thunderous light.
The gap was dark, but there were thousands of streams of light floating in the air as thin as gossamers.
It’s exactly the same as the one that flew back from the South China Sea!
Whoosh!
The stream of light fell lightly.
What caught it was a big, furry hand full of wrinkles.
The stream of light turned into a scroll, and eight big characters appeared brightly: "My clan's big plan is now!"
boom!
The stream of light breaks and white shadows flash.
A huge, wrinkled and hairy face appeared in the darkness.
Another flash passed in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, those millions of streams of light flew out one after another, getting out of the gaps one after another, flying out of the green mist, scattering like meteors and flying to all parts of Kyushu...
…
On the beach in Xuzhou, a dilapidated small fishing boat.
A fisherman who was struggling to pull the net suddenly had a flash of light on her forehead and suddenly let go of her hand.
The fish and shrimps in the net struggled hard to escape, causing the boat to overturn.
The husband who was rowing on the bow of the boat was caught off guard and fell into the water. As soon as he raised his head from the sea, he was grabbed by the neck with a huge force.
In his blurry vision, he saw the face of the woman who depended on each other was full of ferociousness, and her fangs popped out and she bit her hard!
…
Weicheng Jingang Temple.
A pretty young lady was kneeling in front of the Buddha and worshiping devoutly.
The monk at the back knocked on the wooden fish, secretly opened his eyes and looked at the greedy waist, swallowing his saliva repeatedly.
At this moment, a stream of light suddenly flew out of the Buddha's fragrance and landed directly on the pretty lady's eyebrows.
The young lady suddenly stood up and walked towards the monk.
The monk thought he had been noticed, so he quickly closed his eyes and knocked the wooden fish conscientiously.
Click!
The next moment, the wooden fish and the head were broken into two halves!
I saw the pretty lady holding the monk's broken head and chewing on it so crazy!
…
Jingzhou East Lane.
In the third courtyard, a thin old man wearing brocade silk took the tea bowl with one hand, grabbed the handsome maid's little hand, and pulled her into his arms.
The little maid had just tweaked it a few times when suddenly a stream of light passed through the mottled window pane and flew in.
The little maid's eyes suddenly flashed, she hugged the thin head that was constantly arching on her chest, and bit down hard with her huge teeth!
…
Xiangzhou Taiyimen.
Under the waterfall, hundreds of flowers are blooming, and a man and a woman are sparring with swords.
There is hidden affection in the eyebrows, and the swords and swords are all expressed in love.
Suddenly, a stream of light came through the sky.
The woman's eyes suddenly lit up, she abandoned her sword with a clang and rushed towards the man.
The man shouted in a panic: "Junior sister, how can you..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw the woman grabbing the sword and twisting his neck with her other hand.
There was a click, the neck broke, and blood spurted out.
The woman rushed forward with a roar and drank happily!
…
At the same moment, thousands of scenes like this are happening across the land of Kyushu!
