On June 5th, there was no Snow State.
As the last city between the northern border and the outside of the pass, it is on the vast northern plains and far away from Beiyan City. Although it is not as good as Kunlun, which is covered by snowstorms all year round, it is also a bitter cold place in the world and is invaded by wind and frost all year round. Therefore, It got its name from Snow State.
Villages like Huangye Village and Zhoujia Village were blocked from the wind and frost by the huge Wuxue Prefecture, so the people in them suffered a lot less.
The famous quasi-emperor's palace is located in the north of the city in Buxuezhou. This was also the location where Gu Jingshi personally chose to build the palace, just to be closer to the north city gate.
The once glorious Quasi-Emperor's Mansion is now covered with cobwebs in front of the door, and the courtyard is covered with dead leaves. It has such a depressed atmosphere that even the common people can't help but sigh every time they pass by.
In the bleak courtyard of the Quasi-Emperor's Mansion, the scorching summer sunshine seemed to bring warmth to the snowless city.
Zhang Yuguan was lying quietly in the courtyard, with a layer of dry leaves under him.
He slowly opened his eyes, which were scorched by the sun. As soon as he opened them, they closed them again unconsciously.
"This is where?"
After a long time, he woke up completely. He sat up and looked at the fallen branches and willows in the depressing courtyard. He was a little confused for a while and didn't know where he was.
The hot summer wind stirred up a pile of dead leaves. He stood up, scratched his head and looked around.
"Am I not in Zhoujiacun? Where is this place?"
"No, where is Chen Laizi?"
He finally remembered everything that happened before he fell into coma, and the death of Chen Cripple was still vivid in his mind.
There are several houses located around the courtyard, all of which have been covered in dust for a long time.
Zhang Yuguan looked at this place in confusion. He suddenly felt a little familiar.
"Why does it feel like I've seen this place before?"
He held the Tao Jue in his hand and quickly calculated where he was. After a while, he felt relieved.
"Should it still be in the north?"
"But how did I get here?"
Zhang Yuguan then thought about it, if he hadn't sleepwalked here by himself, then someone must have deliberately transported him here after he was unconscious. Then that person must have gone to great lengths to transport a big fat man here, there must be a purpose.
At this moment, he was not in a hurry to leave. He wandered around the house. The man transported him here without killing him. He touched his whole body and found that nothing was missing. Since he didn't want anything from him, it must be There is something fishy about this place.
"The evil spirit is so strong!"
He frowned slightly, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. It was like the Zhoujia Village, full of evil aura.
"This huge and majestic mansion is actually empty. It looks like it must have been there for a long time, and the evil spirit inside is so heavy that it may be just like the tragedy that happened in Zhoujia Village."
Could it be!
An idea flashed in his mind, and he looked shocked. This looked like that place.
"Gu Mansion!"
"That's right, this mansion has long been out of control for ordinary government officials. In recent years, the only one in the north that has experienced a tragedy is the Gu Mansion."
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuguan had another doubt in his heart. How did he come to Gu Mansion?
If this is the case, the evil in the Gu family may be far worse than that in Zhoujia Village.
He shook his head vigorously, trying to calm himself down, but his face became calmer and calmer, and he muttered the Tao secretly.
"People come to separate the paper, and ghosts separate the mountains. A thousand evils can't get rid of it, and all evil can't get rid of it."
"Golden Body to Exorcise Ghosts, open!"
In an instant, under the scorching sun, Zhang Yuguan became a little ethereal, and the sparkling light three feet away around him flickered.
The dark wind blew up the dead leaves everywhere, but the dead leaves couldn't touch it!
Zhang Yuguan's face turned pale for a while. It was obvious that this ghost-expelling golden body was extremely difficult for him, otherwise he would not have known to use this technique just now.
As soon as the golden body opened, his eyes suddenly became sharp. At a casual glance, a faint line of blood appeared in front of his eyes.
"Full blood!"
His expression changed. It has been a year since the Gu family was exterminated. Why is there still fresh blood now? After turning on the Ghost Exorcist Golden Body, this kind of blood line will only appear when there are new corpses nearby.
"Could it be!"
He hurriedly followed the blood line in front of him.
Not long after, he frowned, and he actually returned to the courtyard where he woke up. At this moment, the blood line slowly drifted towards the largest courtyard in the middle.
The golden body continued to show Taoist sutra lines under the sun, but he was seen silently reciting the mantra in his mouth, with sweat on his face like a waterfall, and the golden light protecting his body became more solid.
"Ahem."
He coughed twice and walked slowly to the front of the main room. The smell of blood continued to leak out from the cracks in the door. Even Zhang Yuguan was a little surprised at this moment, but saw that his golden body was shining brightly, as if in contact with the bloody The energy complements each other!
"The smell of blood actually contains such a strong aura of righteousness. Could it be that he is a fellow practitioner?"
The aura of righteousness that is so strong that it can resonate with the golden body is absolutely extremely high. In Zhang Yuguan's life, only the master and the master were able to practice to such a level.
At this moment, he was just standing in front of the door, and his golden body was almost solidified by the awe-inspiring aura in the blood!
There was a little bit of joy in his heart. There were very few people practicing cultivation in the world. The reason was that cultivation was too painful, difficult and lonely. It often took more than ten years of hard training. Even so, the progress of cultivation was much slower than ordinary people. Martial arts practitioners like him, who have completed the Taoism and Taoism before they have reached the age of 20, are extremely rare, and the subsequent training can only be done through hard training for decades. Only then can you gradually improve what you have learned.
But if you can directly seize the fruits of other people's cultivation, such as the extremely deep accumulation of the people in the room at this moment, it is equivalent to saving decades of hard work, and suddenly improving your energy and spirit to an extremely profound level, such as his The golden body displayed at this moment may be comparable to the inner strength wall displayed by the great master among martial arts practitioners.
In fact, his ghost-expelling golden body at the moment is probably vulnerable to a master-level master.
But he woke up immediately, shook his head, and said to himself
"How can you seize the Tao fruit of someone who is on the same Taoist path?"
"Squeak!"
He slowly opened the door, and at this moment, the turbulent aura of awe rushed out of the room, completely wrapping him inside. He felt that his whole body was full of energy, and his energy had reached its peak. The energy he had just used to display the golden body was actually in his body. Instantly replenishing, without even any pause, the Qi in the body continuously collided, struggled, and merged with the awe-inspiring Qi around him.
At this time, he felt that his Dantian began to expand and became as wide as the sea. He just took a deep breath, and a terrifying energy entered his body, quickly filling his Dantian.
"In this way, as long as I can still breathe, I will never die!"
In his ecstasy, he didn't even feel that the center of his eyebrows was shining brightly, and the terrifying bloody aura in the room even avoided him. This was a sign of the awe-inspiring aura overflowing.
Suddenly, he felt a chill. Not only his essence and energy, but also his spiritual awareness had improved a lot unknowingly. He could have synaesthesia in an instant, and a feeling of extreme sadness and anger came over him.
He slowly looked forward, only to see eight wooden coffins arranged in the shape of Bagua appeared in the room!
With his strong sense of consciousness at this moment, he could clearly see strands of black aura rising above the eight wooden coffins, and he could clearly see that there were strands of pure aura in the black aura. .
Then, he suddenly saw a fresh corpse hanging upside down from the roof directly above the middle of the eight black coffins!
"Sleep God Formation!"
He exclaimed and lost his voice. This was clearly the Taoist trapping formation. The so-called locking formation does not really lock the gods. This is naturally impossible. What is really locked is the human spirit. This is a kind of It is an extremely overbearing formation. After killing a person, he hangs him upside down in the formation, so that the essence and spirit are concentrated in the heavenly spirit. Then, the formation is used to trap the vitality and spirit in the formation, making it easier for the person setting up the formation to seize it. And this is actually a way to prolong life, but it won't last long after all. It can only extend life for dozens of years, and then there will be no way to save it.
His expression changed drastically. No wonder he easily obtained everything from that person after entering this room.
However, as far as Zhang Yuguan knows, the Taoist sect is already weak, and the only one who knows and can use this formation is the Taoism of his Zhang family. However, his master and master have passed away for a long time, and the only people in the world who know this formation are the ones who know it. He himself, who could be the person who set up this formation?
Then his eyes lit up and he said to himself
"In that case, it can be explained that I am here."
He looked at the corpse hanging upside down from the beam. It seemed that he had died not long ago, and the corpse was still dripping with blood on the ground.
"Am I next?"
His face turned pale and he said in fear.
But then he felt something was wrong again
"That's wrong. Since that person set up this formation, why did he leave without doing anything? It doesn't make sense."
"Did something happen suddenly? He had to leave?"
He thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out the reason. He looked at the eight wooden coffins again, his face looking very ugly.
Whether it was his own knowledge or the pure energy contained in the eight wooden coffins, they all pointed to one thing.
The Trap God Formation requires the essence and blood of eight boys to lock all the essence in the corpse that is about to dissipate in all directions.
Then what are hidden in these eight wooden coffins are the corpses of eight boys!
His expression suddenly turned cold, and he slowly walked to the coffin and pushed open the coffin lid.
A skeleton with only skin and bones lying quietly in the coffin. Under the skin, you can even see the shriveled internal organs, and all the blood and essence has been drained away.
With a trembling heart, he pushed and opened the remaining seven wooden coffins, and the scene was exactly the same.
At this moment, he finally understood what was going on with the boy's disappearance a year ago. It was actually for the purpose of practicing such an evil method!
At this moment, he stood in the center of the formation, staring at the children's corpses in the eight wooden coffins, and his heart was as sharp as a knife.
A drop of blood poured on his fat and white face. He looked up and saw the face of the monk. This didn't matter, but it made Zhang Yuguan's face look like it was coated with a layer of snow-white wax. Hot tears rolled out of his eyes. I never imagined that this person would be hanging upside down here.
"master!"
That's right, the person hanging upside down here, with his energy and spirit sucked away by him, turned out to be his master who should have been dead long ago!
But he saw that his master's hair was disheveled and hanging upside down on the ground. If Zhang Yuguan hadn't been standing directly under him at this moment, he would not have been able to recognize him anyway.
"Demon! Get out of here!"
Zhang Yuguan quickly untied himself and put down his master, roaring in despair like a seriously injured beast.
Naturally, no one responded to him.
The sudden blow made him physically and mentally exhausted. However, before he could accept it all, the accident happened suddenly.
The moment he hugged his master, his brain felt a sharp pain again, and scattered pictures appeared in his mind.
In the blood mist, his master was besieged by dozens of masked men in black, and his body was easily pierced by several rays of silver light.
Zhang Yuguan's face was red, his eyes were about to burst, and his golden body was magnificent. He pinched the Taoist formula with one hand, and suddenly the golden body gathered in his right fist. The terrifying fist light penetrated the scene in front of him with one blow, and directly penetrated a hole in the distance. Wooden coffin!
He was shocked. Even though there was severe pain in his head, he could clearly feel that at this moment, the golden body curse was like a finger and arm, like a martial arts practitioner's internal power, which could be mobilized against the enemy at will!
You know, even if he has practiced to the level of his original master, it is still impossible to defeat the martial arts masters in the world, but his punch can clearly match the power of the great master!
Could it be that if you practice this method to a certain level, you can really compete with martial arts masters?
Before he could think about it, the scene of being penetrated before his eyes came together again, but this time it was another scene.
A group of people dressed as escorts were walking on the official road, escorting carriages slowly forward. Not far away, the head of Liangzhou City was already vaguely visible.
He looked at the carriages again, only to see that they were all covered with black cloth, making it difficult to see what was inside. However, on the edges of the carriages, perhaps because of the shaking of the carriages, scattered pieces of soil could be vaguely seen. Chips kept falling to the ground.
"What is this transporting?"
He looked at the horses and they didn't seem to be working very hard, and they didn't seem to be very heavy cargo.
Before he could see more, the picture disappeared, and the severe pain that gave him a splitting headache also slowly disappeared.
…………
Qingzhou, Chang family.
Ling Hu hurried into Chang's house.
"Old lady!"
As soon as he entered the Chang Mansion, he held the letter in his hand and looked for Lin Xinyue in a hurry.
"Old Madam, the master of the house has received a letter!"
Lin Xinyue, who was praying for her children in the house, heard Ling Hu's words and hurried to the yard. Looking at Ling Hu, she grabbed the letter in his hand and asked Ling Hu.
"Are you writing from An'er? How is he? Is he eating well, sleeping well, and has he lost weight?"
Ling Hu couldn't laugh or cry
"Old madam, the master of the house is naturally fine."
Lin Xinyue looked at the content of the letter, frowned, and blurted out a curse
"I've been investigating the case, I've been investigating the case all day long, and I finally got a letter. I can't even say a single sentence. I really gave birth to this son in vain!"
How dare Ling Hu touch Lin Xinyue's brow, saying
"Old madam, I'll go down first."
"Wait!"
Lin Xinyue was very talkative, threw the letter to Ling Hu, and said
"An'er found something in the north, I guess it's for you to see."
Ling Hu took the letter respectfully, opened it and looked at it. His expression suddenly changed and he looked at Lin Xinyue.
"The land that was plowed? What was planted on it? And now it's been destroyed?"
Lin Xinyue was furious, not to mention she never liked to care about these things, so she scolded
"How do I know that this is not all what you are interested in!"
Ling Hu smiled awkwardly and murmured in his heart: The patriarch's letter not only mentioned the situation of Zhoujia Village, but also mentioned the righteous village in Liangzhou. If the business between Old Zhou and the wealthy businessman in Liangzhou started from Zhoujia Village in the north, If we reach the capital as the end point, can we think that Lao Zhou, the wealthy businessman from Liangzhou, Zhoujia Village, and Zhou Xier all died in this business? Therefore, in order to shut them up, Lao Zhou must die. No one could be left alive in the village. Even if it wasn't for the so-called boy's skin, Zhou Xier, who had escaped by chance, had to be killed.
In this way, all these things will make sense.
