Three ghost kings, Li A, Qian Taichang, and Xu Yuan, gathered to discuss matters and think hard about a solution.
Qian Taichang said: "You two brothers still remember the last time you were involved in the case of stealing spiritual eyes, right?"
Li A said angrily: "There is something fishy about that thief woman, Grandma Tea!"
Xu Yuan thought deeply: "In the past few years, I have been thinking about this matter, and now I have an errand assigned by the Lord... I am afraid that I was fooled into that case at that time, and I didn't understand it until my death. "
Li A asked: "You mean, there is really something wrong with Emperor Fengdu? Did he really betray Xingyao God?"
Xu Yuandao: "The Lord's request to investigate this matter is definitely not groundless. I just don't know how to deal with it."
Qian Taichang said: "The errand assigned by the Lord is difficult to say, easy to say, it depends on how far it is completed. If you just inquire about the intention and collect some rumors, it is not difficult. If you want to get practical evidence, I’m afraid it’s not easy.”
Xu Yuan suggested: "It is better to do it in two steps. First collect rumors, inquire about information, report the situation to the Lord, and then find ways to collect evidence. In this step, we can do it as far as we can, and we will do our best. Yes, I believe the Lord can forgive me."
Li Adao: "I have an old relationship with the Eastern Ghost Emperor Shen Tu. Thirty years ago, I received his guidance on Taoism. I will try to follow his path."
Xu Yuandao: "I made soul flags with the disciples of Northern Ghost Emperor Yang Yun."
Qian Taichang said: "In this case, I will go to Moyi World."
Before leaving, Li A sighed: "It's my first time to meet my first boss. Such a big picture really scares me."
Xu Yuan was more excited: "There will be great changes in the prehistoric times. It is a great opportunity to take on such an important task. It is my brother's fortune!"
Qian Taichang warned: "Two brothers, this matter is very important, so we must not take it lightly."
Everyone knows that Emperor Fengdu of Beiyin is the World Honored One recommended by the god Xingyao. Logically speaking, the two great gods should share weal and woe, but the Spring and Autumn Scholars want to find out whether they are enemies or friends, and whether they are related to the Xuanyuan family. The meaning of "enemy is friend" is really too deep to contemplate. Qian Taichang shuddered when he thought that the Xuanyuan family and the Spring and Autumn Scholars were now almost in a dual situation in the court.
But it is true that as Xu Yuan said, being involved in the whirlpool at the highest level of the heavens is a great opportunity for these brothers!
With both anxiety and excitement, Qian Taichang entered the world of Mo Yi. Three years ago, they were all banned from entering the Heavens due to the case of stealing the Yongcheng Shiling Eye. However, they secretly bribed Li Shaojun and obtained a few cards that were not authentic or fake, and they could enter and leave the Heavens including the Nantianmen under their names. Door, as long as you don't get caught red-handed.
The world of Moyi is a chaotic and wild place, with scenes of destruction everywhere destroyed by the power of gods and gods. Even Qian Taichang, who has been here many times, cannot help but be shocked by this scene every time he enters. .
The mountaintops cut off in the middle are slanted on the plains. There are huge abyss with thousands of cliffs everywhere. The volcanoes spewing lava are gasping from time to time. The world is drowsy...
From time to time, giant birds screamed and flew across the sky, spreading their wings to cover the sky and the sun. Angry howls came from the deep valleys, and the screams shook the earth...
Qian Taichang walked carefully through the treetops. He did not dare to fly high into the sky at will, nor did he dare to enter the dense forest easily. Even the Hedao Ghost King did not dare to attempt such a dangerous thing easily.
When he came to a bald mountain, Qian Taichang saw a giant sitting on the mountain from a distance. He used the mountain col as a chair, with his back against the ridge and his feet in the valley, looking into the distance.
These are the giants of the Longbo clan in the Moyi world. They angered Emperor Wa in the ancient war between gods and gods and were punished here. After the reconstruction of the ancient world, the heaven did not allow them to go to the heavens and imprisoned them in the Moyi world. .
The Long Bo giants are gifted with magical powers, and they don’t need to practice. You can easily judge the level of their magical powers by their appearance. For example, the man in front of Qian Taichang, who is taller than the mountain, has magical powers comparable to those of great immortals and gods. Therefore, Qian Taichang immediately changed his route and tried to Go around behind him.
But just as he changed direction, a thunderous roar came from his ears: "You kid from the outside world, come here and talk."
Qian Taichang was shocked by the sound, and his soul shook a few times. He was frightened, but he did not dare to refuse, so he had to slowly approach the giant. When he came to the feet, he could only look up at the giant's ankles.
"I allow you to fly before my eyes and answer my questions." The giant's voice buzzed.
Qian Taichang was unwilling. He would rather raise his neck than fly to such a conspicuous place and accept the gaze of others. You know, even if it seems quiet within a hundred miles, who knows how many eyes are hidden?
"Elder of the Longbo tribe, I can reply right at your feet. Flying in front of your eyes would be offensive. Even if you allow it, I don't want to do this. In addition, if you are willing to speak softly, I Would be extremely grateful.”
Giant Long Bo was very satisfied with Qian Taichang's gesture, and his voice suddenly became much softer, making Qian Taichang breath a sigh of relief.
"Are you from the Northern Yin world?"
"yes."
"Sure enough, it's Beiyinshi... Let me ask you, why doesn't Qing Jia come? I've been waiting for him here for a month."
Qian Taichang was a little confused. The Qingjia mentioned by the giant Long Bo was the name of Emperor Fengdu of Beiyin. Not many outsiders knew about it except the ghost kings of Beiyin.
"Elder, I don't know about your agreement with the emperor. You have come to this world to practice."
"I don't care why you came here. Since you are a brat from Beiyin, go back and ask Qingjia when he will fulfill his contract. As for your practice, after this is done, I can promise you and allow you to go home." Ruins.”
Guixu is a training place for the giants of the Longbo clan. It is of great benefit to physical cultivation. It is also of great benefit to the Hedao Ghost King.
Qian Taichang pondered for a moment and agreed: "I will go back and inform Emperor Fengdu, and also ask the elders to tell me what the agreement between you and the emperor is, otherwise I will not be able to talk about it, and the emperor will not see me as a little ghost king. "
The giant of the Long Bo tribe said: "You can tell him that Zong Dai is very angry. If he doesn't come, he will never enter the headless country again."
Qian Taichang felt excited when he heard this. He was really lucky. Did everything go so smoothly? The giants of the Longbo tribe meet with Emperor Fengdu and prepare to enter the headless country? The Headless Country is Xingyao's home base, and the Headless People are all his people. These two people made an appointment, not to visit Xingyao, but to go to the Headless Country. What are they going to do?
Qian Taichang tried his best to calm down and asked another question: "If you can do this for the elders, can you take me to the Headless Country to have a look? I heard that everyone in the Headless People has great supernatural powers. I haven't done that yet." I’ve seen it before, and I’ve been fascinated by it for many years…”
Elder Zong Dai was very displeased. Anger came out of his eyes. A heat wave suddenly arose around the mountain. A forest was ignited in anger, and the fire shot into the sky.
"Do the headless people have great magical powers? Are the magical powers of our Longbo clan small? Then go and see how the headless people surrendered to my Longbo clan!"
This was an excellent opportunity, and Qian Taichang readily agreed. He immediately left Mo Yi Shi and returned to Bei Yin Shi. He did not return to Taoqiu, but rushed directly to Luofeng Mountain to pay homage to Emperor Fengdu.
Mount Luofeng is located in Guidi in the north, with a height of 2,600 feet and a circumference of 30,000 miles. There are six palaces in the mountain. The first palace is named Zhou Jue Yin Tian Palace, followed by the eastward one. The second palace is Tai Sha Liang Shi Zong Tian Palace, the third palace is named Ming Chen Nai Fei Wucheng Tiangong, and the fourth palace is named Tian Zhao Zui. Qi Tian Palace, the fifth house is called Zong Ling Qifei Tian Palace, and the sixth house is called Gansi Lian Wan Sui Tian Palace.
The six palaces are all guarded by ghost kings, all of whom are fifth-level ghost kings one level higher than Qian Taichang. The Yaoling Hall above the Sixth Palace was the place of cultivation for Emperor Fengdu.
Normally, it is difficult for a third-level ghost king like Qian Taichang to see Emperor Fengdu directly. Unless Emperor Fengdu raises an army to destroy the world, he will have the opportunity to talk to Emperor Fengdu. But today, after he reported Zong Dai's name, he climbed the mountain one by one and went straight to Yaoling Hall.
After all, he is a ghost king at the level of Hedao, and he was involved in the Yongcheng Shiling Eye theft case. Emperor Fengdu still has some impressions of Qian Taichang: "Are you Qian Taichang of Taoqiu City?"
"The emperor remembers the little god, it is a blessing for the little god." Qian Taichang kowtowed quickly. In fact, Emperor Fengdu had mistakenly remembered that it was Li A who lived in Taoqiu, and Qian Taichang's place of practice was located at Heisha Tomb, ninety miles southwest of Taoqiu.
"You went to Mo Yi Shi? Did you meet Zong Dai?" Emperor Fengdu asked again.
Qian Taichang said: "I originally wanted to go to the Moyi world to practice and improve my cultivation level, but not long after I walked in, I met the elder of the Longbo tribe. He called himself Zongdai and asked the little god to help him bring him a child. talk."
Emperor Fengdu sat still and said calmly: "Say it."
Qian Taichang said: "Zong Dai is very angry. He said that if you don't go to see him, you will never enter the headless country."
Emperor Fengdu said: "Tell us all the circumstances of your meeting with him. Don't omit anything."
So Qian Taichang described the situation in detail without reservation and answered many questions of Emperor Fengdu. Emperor Fengdu was not very interested in the message delivered by Zong Dai, the elder of the Longbo clan. Instead, he paid great attention to certain details, such as Zong Dai's sitting posture, his tone at that time, how much shock his voice caused to Qian Taichang, and what his anger was. How much forest was burned...
While answering questions, Qian Taichang gradually realized that Emperor Fengdu did have an agreement with Zong Dai to join the Headless Kingdom, but the emperor obviously did not want to fulfill the agreement so quickly, but was deliberately killing Zong Dai's temper.
Even Qian Taichang was not the first ghost king in the Northern Yin world who was driven back by Zong Dai to spread the word. At least according to what Emperor Fengdu said, two ghost commanders who refined the void and one ghost king who combined the ways had already entered into the light within a month. The Lingdian has answered these questions.
Qian Taichang especially wanted to ask, the emperor, what are your plans when you and Zong Dai, the elder of the Longbo clan, make an appointment to enter the headless country together? Can Tianshen Xingyao agree? Or are you saying that you don’t have to worry about Xingyao at all?
But he finally held it in and didn't ask. Beiyin's disregard for the lives of living beings was second to none in the world. High-level ghost kings often killed lower-level ghost kings without any warning. This was especially true for ghost commanders and ghost generals who were not in harmony with the Tao. , the reason may just be to absorb a little more soul power.
If you ask more, you may die.
"You are not allowed to go to Mo Yi again." Emperor Fengdu did not give any reward. He just warned Qian Taichang about this and let him go. Not killing is the reward.
After returning to Taoqiu and waiting for a few more days, Li A and Xu Yuan also came back. They didn't get much information, they just heard a few clues, but the information Qian Taichang got was enough to report to the Spring and Autumn Bachelor. .
Qian Taichang rushed to the Spring and Autumn Period and found a cave under Dongyue to hide temporarily. Yang periods such as the Spring and Autumn Period, the Immortal Period, and the Taiping Period had an impact on their souls. Even the ghost king who was in harmony with the Tao could not avoid it. Traveling in broad daylight feels like thousands of needles pricking me, very uncomfortable.
When the night was as cool as water, Qian Taichang came to the foot of Lushan Mountain as promised and asked to see the new bachelor Dugu Taiyue.
After listening to his story, Dugu Taiyue thought for a long time and asked, "Do you think Xingyao is still alive in Moyi?"
Qian Taichang replied: "Maybe he is not there, maybe he is here, but no matter whether he is here or not, Emperor Fengdu no longer takes Xingyao seriously."
Dugu Taiyue said: "In other words, if he is not in the Moyi world, Fengdu will not worry about Xingyao coming back. In other words, will he not come back? If Xingyao is still here, Fengdu will no longer regard Xingyao as a threat. , it is very possible that...has been imprisoned?"
Qian Taichang nodded and said: "That's right. I feel that the Longbo clan covets the Headless Kingdom, and Fengdu covets not only the Headless Kingdom, but also the Longbo clan."
Dugu Taiyue praised: "Very good. Fellow Daoist Qian has made a great contribution. I will report it to the Grand Scholar. The Grand Scholar will definitely be rewarded."
Qian Taichang looked at the main peak of Mount Lu, which was out of sight, and asked, "Bachelor, can I meet with the Spring and Autumn Period scholar?"
Dugu Taiyue said: "You wait here."
So Qian Taichang sat and waited patiently in Dugu Taiyue's garden. After waiting for a long time, he saw Dugu Taiyue coming back and stood up quickly: "Bachelor..."
Seeing Dugu Taiyue shaking his head, Qian Taichang felt sad, but he also knew that his brother had surrendered too late. Although he had made a contribution, he was still far behind. He didn't know how much more time he needed to squeeze into the circle around the Spring and Autumn Bachelor. At what cost.
When he saw Dugu Taiyue giving him three talisman edicts, he couldn't help but be startled. Dugu Taiyue said: "The great scholar is meeting several world-honored gods, and you have not been seen. This is the talisman edict that the great scholar has just written in his own hand. You guys Each of the three ghost kings has a copy, which can be taken out when in danger. It proves that you are a bachelor, and anyone who dares to touch you must think carefully."
Qian Taichang unfolded the talisman and read one after another. After reading for a long time, he was about to thank him when he heard Dugu Taiyue say: "Follow me."
Following Dugu Taiyue to a tall building, he pushed the door open and saw floor after floor, filled with lit oil lamps.
The two academy deacons bowed in greeting: "Greetings to Bachelor Dugu!"
Dugu Taiyue nodded and introduced to Qian Taichang: "This is the important place of the lantern tower of our academy. These oil lamps are called soul lamps. They are imprinted with a little bit of the spiritual consciousness of the important monks in the academy. When a person dies and the lamp goes out, the academy will know immediately. , no matter what day it happened, no matter who did it, they must give us an explanation."
After a pause, he ordered the two lamphouse stewards: "Go get a new one."
After a while, an oil lamp was brought out, and Dugu Taiyue said to Qian Taichang: "The great scholar asked me to leave a lamp for you. Please imprint your spiritual consciousness."
Qian Taichang had mixed feelings. He solemnly burned his consciousness into the lamp oil, and then stared at the deacon as he carefully placed the soul lamp on the top.
Dugu Taiyue said: "The next time you come, please ask Li A and Xu Yuan to go to the lamp tower to mark the place. The lives and deaths of you three ghost kings are under the control of the Grand Master. Also, please continue to inquire about the matter of Xingyao."
Qian Taichang nodded: "Yes."
After leaving, looking back at the dark shadows of Lushan Mountain under the moonlight, Qian Taichang stood there for a long time, then bowed down respectfully and refused to get up for a long time.
