When it was getting dark, Gu Xu and his party arrived at the Yishan camp.
The evil spirit here is obviously much stronger than outside.
Dark clouds covered the entire sky, and a gray mist filled the forest. There was a strong chill in the air, which made people feel a strong discomfort while breathing.
Gu Xu knew that mortals could not stay in such a place for too long.
They cannot use their true energy to block the erosion of Yin Qi like monks.
The Yin Qi will unknowingly seep into their bodies, annihilating their sanity and swallowing their souls, turning them into zombie-like monsters.
"You are finally here."
When Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan stepped out of the carriage one after another, a familiar figure walked through rows of makeshift houses and came to them.
"Master Chen," Gu Xu nodded immediately, "How is the battle going today?"
The person who came was none other than Chen Jisheng.
At this time, Chen Jisheng's "Qi Yao Suit" looked wrinkled and stained with a lot of mud and dust. He was holding a half-used kettle in his hand, and he could see obvious tiredness on his face.
"According to Lord Wei's order, today I formed a team with two other Fourth Realm monks and headed to Osmanthus Village at the foot of Yishan Mountain. We planned to rescue the surviving villagers there," Chen Jisheng said with a expression on his face as he tightened the lid of the kettle. He said with an expression, "However, when we arrived at Osmanthus Village, we found that the information was wrong - there was no living person there at all, and it had become a complete ghost village."
"Is the information wrong?" Shi Xiaohan next to him felt a little confused, "I remember that there are several monks in Qingzhou Prefecture who are good at heavenly magic..."
“Tianji Technique has limitations,” Gu Xu explained, “It is not truly omniscient.
"Many high-level experts can use their own abilities to interfere with or even block the Heaven's Secret. For example, because Kongxuan Sanren once set up a ban on the Laoshan area, the Chief Secretary cannot observe the Laoshan ruins through the Heaven's Secret Technique."
"Then the error in the intelligence near Yishan was due to the interference of the Snow Girl?" Shi Xiaohan touched his chin, thoughtfully.
"Maybe."
"The situation in Yishan is much more serious than we imagined," Chen Jisheng's expression was particularly solemn. "Because the intelligence is inaccurate, the monks cannot predict the location and number of ghosts as accurately as they usually do when doing tasks. Every battle is like feeling Stones cross the river.
"In addition, the supplies sent from the capital are much less than expected. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest son and Lord Wei Jiusi Qianhu donated generously, which did not affect the fighting and daily practice of the monks of the Exorcism Department."
"His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor?" Gu Xu was slightly surprised when he heard this name.
"That's right," Chen Jisheng nodded, "in the past few days, His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor, has been fighting side by side with the monks in the Yishan camp. Not only did he kill many monsters, but he also personally rescued several officers back to the camp. Today I I was also lucky enough to catch a glimpse of him from a distance in the crowd, and he was indeed as impressive as the rumors."
"His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor, actually came in person!" Shi Xiaohan next to him couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Chai Biao, the tall man standing behind them, was stunned on the spot, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes, and murmured to himself: "I never thought that one day I would fight side by side with Prince Daqi in my lifetime..."
Seeing the reactions of everyone around him, Gu Xu secretly commented: It seems that the eldest prince has a high prestige in the hearts of everyone.
However, maybe it's because he is a time traveler, maybe it's because he once heard the fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen pretending to be a female voice to deceive his opponent in "The Realm of Discussing the Tao", maybe it's because he knows some ulterior secrets of the Emperor of Da Qi... Gu Xu He did not have the same awe for the Daqi royal family as his companions.
At this moment, a man dressed as a guard came to them, bowed to Gu Xu and said, "Master Gu, His Highness wants to see you."
The eyes of everyone present fell on Gu Xu.
"I just remembered that you still have the status of a prince's attendant." Shi Xiaohan tugged on Gu Xu's sleeve and pouted. At this moment, she suddenly felt that the royal children were not as great as she had imagined.
Chai Biao, a tall middle-aged man, took two steps back unconsciously. He deeply felt that the handsome young man in front of him was not from the same world as himself. It was just an accident that they were traveling in the same car.
After that, the young man will continue to move forward along the dazzling Kangzhuang Avenue; and he will return to the remote small county town, watching his deeds through the court newspaper in the dark and narrow duty room, silently imagining that he can also have a Such an excellent son.
…………
A moment later, Gu Xu met the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan in a simple wooden house, as well as the royal minister Fan Cheng and Qingzhou Prefecture Qianhu Wei Jiusi beside him.
This house was improvised using magic.
The furnishings inside the house are simple.
A large rough table and a few hard wooden chairs formed a temporary conference room.
When Gu Xu stepped into the room, Xiao Shangyuan immediately stood up to greet him with a smile. When Gu Xu was about to bow his hands, Xiao Shangyuan immediately grabbed his arm and said repeatedly: "Brother Gu Xian, there is no need to be polite."
Xiao Shangyuan's appearance is similar to that of his younger brother Xiao Shangzhen. He can be considered handsome in appearance, but his eyebrows are a little less childish and the outline of his face is tougher.
Although the eldest prince looked amiable and called Gu Xu brothers, he put his official position and etiquette far away.
But Gu Xu noticed that Xiao Shangyuan's eyes were awe-inspiring, revealing an unquestionable arrogance - as if he was a majestic lion entrenched in his territory. As long as someone dared to offend him, he would show his cold eyes. Fangs.
After sitting down, Xiao Shangyuan got straight to the point and talked about the business.
He took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms, handed it to Gu Xu, and said to him: "Brother Gu Xian, is this 'Fengxing Talisman' your work?"
Gu Xu took the talisman and observed it carefully.
This talisman is not his.
The handwriting on the paper was a bit jerky, and it was definitely not written by him.
But Ma Xingkong's idea of improvement that day was indeed his handiwork.
He never taught anyone how to draw the improved version of "Feng Xing Fu".
So in this world, he should be the only one who can draw such a "popular charm".
"This talisman was copied by us, not the original version." Seemingly sensing Gu Xu's confused look, the eldest prince smiled and explained in a gentle tone, "The earliest 'Fengxing Talisman' was from Qingzhou Mansion. It was picked up from the waste basket of the exorcism department. At that time, Uncle Fan was convinced that it was definitely made by the master.
"In order to find out the identity of the Fu Dao master behind it, we spent a lot of time and went through many twists and turns.
"Now, we have finally found you, Master Gu!
"I can't imagine that at this young age, you have such profound cultivation of Talisman! I'm afraid even the National Master will be envious of your Talisman talent!"
After hearing the eldest prince's words, Gu Xu also remembered that he had indeed used a "Wind Talisman" on the way to Qingzhou Mansion, and then threw it into the wastebasket.
"Last October, His Highness was also in Qingzhou Mansion?" he asked.
"Yes," Xiao Shangyuan replied frankly, "At that time, I saw the Yishan Snow Girl making trouble in Qingzhou and causing harm to the people, so I asked my father to be a servant, hoping that I could use the sword in my hand to eliminate harm to the people.
“But I don’t want others to misunderstand my motives and think that I do this kind of thing just to pursue fame. So I concealed my identity and whereabouts.
"It's a pity that the snow girl is much stronger than I imagined. I tried my best and failed to defeat her. Instead, I was bruised and embarrassed. If it weren't for Mr. He, the junior brother of the national master, with his miraculous shrinkage Earth Cheng Cun's magical power rescued me, but I'm afraid my soul has become the food of the snow girl."
It turns out that He Yiqun rushed to Yishan in order to save the prince!
Gu Xu thought silently in his heart.
Xiao Shangyuan paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and continued: "But I have never been a person willing to admit defeat easily. I will not give up my desire to eliminate harm for the people because of a temporary failure.
"And I also realized that with my own strength, I cannot compete with the Yishan Snow Girl, who has a strength close to that of a saint.
"So now I come to this camp, hoping to fight together with the monks here and help the people of Qingzhou Prefecture to get rid of the serious problem of the Snow Girl."
"His Highness really cares about people's livelihood," Gu Xu complimented in a flat tone, "If the people of Qingzhou Mansion knew about His Highness's thoughts, they would definitely be extremely grateful to His Highness."
It must be said that the eldest prince spoke beautifully and was very good at winning people's hearts. Compared with his childish brother, he was completely different.
If there were no aristocratic families and extraordinary power in this world, then Xiao Shangzhen would have no competitiveness at all in front of this capable brother.
"However, Brother Gu Xian, today I don't care about the thoughts of the people of Qingzhou Prefecture. I only care about your thoughts." Xiao Shangyuan bent down slightly and stared at Gu Xu's eyes intently. "I want to fight side by side with Brother Gu Xian tomorrow and see it with my own eyes." Looking at Gu Xiandi’s Talisman cultivation, I wonder if Gu Xiandi is willing to agree?”
Xiao Shangyuan's words left a certain amount of room, and did not directly ask Gu Xu to take sides in the fight for the throne and become his follower.
But it also meant that it was a request that couldn't be refused.
After all, this is a crucial moment against the Yuki Onna.
Once he refuses, his words are likely to be taken out of context and used as leverage.
"Your Highness has your orders, how dare I disobey him?" Gu Xu responded with a smile.
He didn't want to get involved in the murky waters of the royal family's succession.
Therefore, if the eldest prince wants to call him brother, he must strictly observe the distinction between monarch and minister.
"Then I look forward to Brother Gu Xian showing his prowess tomorrow!" Xiao Shangyuan's expression remained calm, with no change in emotion on his face.
On the side, Fan Cheng frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about something; Wei Jiusi smiled, showing a hint of appreciation for Gu Xu.
…………
A few minutes later, Gu Xu left this simple room.
At this moment, he saw at a glance that Shi Xiaohan was holding a food box and sitting glumly at the corner.
The cold wind ruffled her black hair and made the hairpin on her head jingle, but she didn't notice it at all.

The top of Yishan Mountain.
This is an isolated world of ice and snow.
The delicate and beautiful girl was wearing a plain white dress and sitting on a huge ice crystal stone.
Her appearance was exquisite and flawless, and her fair skin was glowing with radiance, as if carved from ice and snow.
But her eyes were empty and dull, like two black holes.
At this moment, a white wolf with pure and flawless fur appeared next to him, leaving a short middle-aged man who was frozen into an ice sculpture next to her.
The man's eyes were wide open and fear was written on his face.
It was Feng Buqi who had just been captured.
Seeing such a scene, the girl stood up from the ice crystal, stretched out a finger, and gently touched Feng Buqi's forehead.
Then, she pulled out a blur of light and shadow from Feng Buqi's body.
That is Feng Buqi's soul.
In an instant, the ice sculpture shattered all over the ground.
The girl closed her eyes, took a gentle breath, and sucked Feng Buqi's soul into her body.
When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were no longer empty and lifeless, but glowed with brilliance.
Humans have human troubles, and demons also have demon difficulties.
Since transforming into a ghost, she must regularly devour human souls in order to maintain her own soul.
Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
But deep in her heart, there is still some childish persistence——
"No harm to innocent souls."
Those white wolves are not only the claws that help her hunt humans, but also her eyes.
She can use those white wolves to observe the world with her "wisdom eyes".
In the world seen by the "wisdom eye", everyone is either surrounded by black energy or glowing with golden light.
The golden light represents merit and the black energy represents sin.
Everyone thought she was killing for no reason.
But in fact, she will choose people with extremely strong black energy as her food.
For example, this guy named Feng Buqi, who looked sanctimonious on the outside, actually killed his brother and sister-in-law in order to obtain all of his father's inheritance.
Of course, doing so cannot cover up the fact that she committed murder, but can only slightly alleviate her guilt.
For many years, she has been a ghost, adhering to this stupid principle.
But today, she found that she seemed to be unable to control her instinctive desires.
Because in that mountain forest, she saw a young man who looked a little familiar and exuded an alluring fragrance.
I really want to eat him.
But in the vision of the "intelligent eye", the young man's body was shining with a dazzling golden light of merit.
endure.
endure.
endure.
She told herself over and over in her mind.
Lu Shiyao, you were once a person.
If you eat him on impulse, what's the difference between you and a mindless beast?
?
