On the same day, Beijing.
Chang Sheng and Yan Sihai are currently in the Qiankun Hall.
"Is this happening?"
The Human Emperor held the memorial handed over by the two men in his hand and said angrily.
The Prime Minister came out from one side with a calm expression and said
"Saint, if it is true as the city lord said, then the twelfth-story building owner killed Prince Gu's family, and even had the audacity to place agents around the saint, and committed crimes in many places, killing countless people, even children, and did not hesitate to do anything With so many unscrupulous things happening, their plot seems to be very big."
The Human Emperor looked at Chang Sheng and the two, thought for a moment, and said
"You two, do you have any ideas?"
Yan Sihai said
"Judging from the information currently known, their target should be Penglai, but according to ancient legends, the road to Penglai has been broken. Do they want to create a new road?"
Chang Sheng asked
"Isn't the top level of the Magpie Bridge leading to Penglai?"
Yan Sihai shook his head
"It's not that simple. Have you ever noticed that when the magpie bridge was erected that day, no matter which of the three floors it was, the other side was covered by the black mist. The bottom floor leads to Hades, hidden in the darkness. It’s reasonable, but Penglai is determined not to be obscured by the black mist.”
Chang Shengdao
"That means that all connections between the world and Penglai have been cut off. No matter which road it is, it can't really lead to Penglai?"
Yan Sihai said
"This is very likely. Mobei just took a look at the bridge that day and walked off. First, he didn't want to go to Penglai, and second, he might have felt that the road ahead was cut off."
The Human Emperor shook his head, and his deep voice echoed throughout the hall.
"No matter what the reason is, it cannot be used as a reason for them to kill so many innocent people."
The Prime Minister respectfully replied
"That's natural."
Chang Sheng said
"Sage, we are here today to ask the saint to help us investigate a business."
The Human Emperor was stunned, as if he didn't expect Chang Sheng to say that at all.
"what business?"
Yan Sihai replied
"A business started in Wuxuezhou, passed through Liangzhou, and headed straight to the capital."
The face of the Prime Minister on the side changed drastically. He looked at Chang Sheng and Yan Sihai and exclaimed.
"Could it be related to the Gu family again!"
Chang Sheng looked at the Prime Minister and bowed
"I'm not sure if it's related to the Gu family, but it's related to my Chang family. An accountant from my Chang family died in this business, and his grandson died in the missing boy case in the capital."
hiss!
The Prime Minister took a breath of cold air
"Even the Chang family was involved."
The Human Emperor was decisive, slapped the armrest, and said sternly
"Check, get to the bottom of it. Since it concerns the northern border and the capital, there is no reason to let it go."
King Xiang said
"But who should investigate the case?"
Now the Human Emperor is also in trouble. For this kind of case involving Jianghu, the most suitable candidate is Chang Sheng, the lord of Honghua City, but Chang Sheng cannot investigate this case.
Because two months ago, Chang An found him and made a deal with him. He investigated the missing boy case in the capital on behalf of the Human Emperor. In exchange, Chang Sheng got the title of Red Flower City Lord, which guaranteed his safety. When Chang An is away, Chang Sheng can have enough protection. After all, the identity of the reincarnation of an immortal is really very coveted.
Therefore, under the tacit arrangement between Chang An and the Human Emperor, Chang Sheng was sent to the capital in the name of investigating the case. Now that the boy's disappearance case has been solved, the Human Emperor will no longer be able to let Chang Sheng out of the capital.
Just when the Human Emperor was in trouble, the Prime Minister said
"Sage, you have forgotten someone."
The way of human emperor
"Oh? Who?"
King Xiang said
"The top scholar in Jinke, Bu Qingwen."
The Human Emperor's eyes suddenly lit up, he clapped his hands and said
"Yes, he also comes from a martial arts background. He happens to have no official position at the moment, so he went to investigate this business in the name of imperial envoy."
The Prime Minister bowed, with a slight smile on his lips.
"The saint is wise."
But Chang Sheng glanced at Yan Sihai suspiciously. Yan Sihai shook his head slightly, saying that he didn't know this person either.
…………
There is no Xuzhou, quasi-emperor's mansion.
The sun gradually set in the west, and before you knew it, it was already evening. Zhang Yuguan had been sitting in the room for half a day, and his master's body had also been in his arms for half a day.
His fat face was stained with dried tears, and his eyes were red. He sat like this for half a day, but he couldn't accept what happened today.
But things in this world don't always come when you are ready. Waves of extremely light footsteps crush the dead leaves in the yard, making a small but crisp sound.
Zhang Yuguan's eyes flashed. He was so profound that even he could not fathom it. With the blessing of the golden body, the slightest footsteps could not escape his ears.
This was his first reaction as the person who came had excellent Qinggong, but in the blink of an eye, those footsteps were already very close to the house where he was.
His expression was solemn, and he secretly made a secret secret in his hand, but he saw that the golden body changed again, and all of it was concentrated on his feet.
magic
He thought silently in his heart, and then he picked up the master's body and actually stepped on the smooth beams on the side. His whole body was lying on the beams as if walking on flat ground, and the soles of his feet seemed to be firmly stuck to the beams, and he ran at an extremely fast speed. Above the roof beams!
At the same moment, a group of men in black also pushed in the door. Seeing the disrupted formation and the bodies disappearing into the house, the men in black were not too surprised.
A leading man in black saw a coffin with a hole the size of a fist punched through, and said in a deep voice.
"The poster's formation is probably successful."
The man in black behind him changed his eyes and agreed.
"Why is the body gone? There is still a yard..."
He was interrupted mid-sentence by the leader.
"It's okay. The building owner has achieved great success in cultivation. Everything else is not important. Now, even the building owner is hard to match. He can easily defeat a mere Chang An."
The person behind him nodded slightly
"The host has been in seclusion for such a long time. It seems that his return is not far away."
"Take care of this place and leave no traces."
The leader of the men in black gave orders.
Zhang Yuguan, who was eavesdropping on the beam, was already full of murderous intent. He killed so many people just to let their landlord practice. How dehumanizing he was, and now he even wanted to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces!
Even someone as optimistic as him could no longer suppress the killing intent in his body at this moment.
"Thousand-pound drop!"
His voice came from top to bottom, but the golden light on his feet was shining brightly. Just when the man in black at the head was stunned, his feet were firmly on the top of his head.
"Paji!"
Blood splattered three feet
With one step, he trampled the man in black into a pulp!
The face of the man in black standing behind changed suddenly, he pointed at Zhang Yuguan and said anxiously
"you……"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yuguan's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He was still holding the master's body in his left hand, and he was making a seal with his right hand and shouted in a low voice.
"Earthshaking!"
But he saw his eyebrows shining brightly, and those people in black couldn't help but look at his eyebrows.
Then, those men in black felt the world spin for a while, and then, as if the world was upside down, they fell to the ground uncontrollably, and they couldn't produce any energy from their whole bodies!
"You use evil magic to harm others, I use the right way to drive away the evil!"
Zhang Yuguan was blessed with a golden body, with Taoist patterns flowing all over his body. It was extremely sacred, but his scarlet eyes at this moment were extremely strange!
The dark red pupils reflected the man in black closest to him.
He quickly calculated with one hand, stopped taking two breaths, and said coldly
"You are the wood, the wood is the fire, the wood is the liver, and the fire is the heart."
But after a moment, the man in black turned pale, his pupils were dilated, and the whites of his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes. Then, he let out a hoarse roar, but it was hard to hear clearly. He really couldn't make a sound, and his hands were dead. He was covering his left chest, his face was distorted into an abnormal shape, as if he was in pain from having his heart ripped out.
Generally fulfilled
"puff!"
His chest swelled, and a heart that was obviously larger than an ordinary person actually broke open his chest and jumped out!
A big hole opened in his chest in an instant, and blood was poured out like water in a basin. After the huge blood-red heart jumped out of the body, it was still beating on the ground as if it was alive, and the man in black was already lying on his body. On the ground, he will die with his eyes closed.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuguan frowned, and the murderous emotion that originally filled his heart slowly wavered.
As an authentic heir of the Taoist sect, he had never killed anyone in his life, let alone tortured a person to death with such brutal means.
A huge sense of fear instantly surrounded him. Even the death of his master just now could not make him feel any more murderous intentions. If the first man in black who was trampled to death by him was his action in anger, then the second A man in black who was killed in such a cruel way brought him back from the brink of becoming possessed.
He was sweating profusely. He looked at his hands and touched his face. He could see blood on his hands with a casual touch. He didn't need to look in the mirror to know how much he looked like a devil at this moment.
"how so?"
He looked at the blood on his hands in disbelief. His fat little hands were trembling constantly. The blood that was still warm felt bitingly cold in his eyes.
And this was not what frightened him the most. What frightened him the most was that when he was killing people, he clearly felt a demonic voice in his mind whispering in his ear.
"Kill them all...kill them all...the more miserable they die, the more excited I will be, hahahahahahaha..."
He clearly felt that the moment he saw the man in black's heart beating out of his chest, he felt extremely happy!
He shook his head desperately to make himself forget that terrible thought.
"Shut up!"
He roared, but his Dao Xing was too high at the moment. The Dao lines on Jin's body flowed slowly with his roar like a lion, which actually shook the whole room!
It has almost reached the legendary point of being able to follow the rules.
It was just this lion's roar that woke up the remaining men in black. The men in black who were originally trapped by his illusion-like Taoism stood up one after another and saw Zhang Yuguan sitting in front of them as if he was crazy. Yelling on the ground.
The remaining men in black looked young, as the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. They looked at each other, but with ruthless expressions on their faces, they stabbed Zhang Yuguan with their swords.
They naturally know that even if the Taoist sect declines, if they can personally kill the heir of this family, they will naturally rise to the sky and become famous from then on.
Even a killer organization like them values status very much.
And a large part of the reason why they dared to take action was that the crazy Zhang Yuguan seemed to have no power to fight back at this moment.
Several long swords pierced Zhang Yuguan's body, but they made a clear sound like the collision of metal. They looked at each other, feeling as if the swords were pierced on a stone, unable to move forward.
Their expressions were horrified. No matter how hard they tried or how much internal energy they expended, they could not penetrate even an inch into Zhang Yuguan's body.
The ghost-expelling golden body curse emits brilliance, and those swords piercing the golden body outside Zhang Yuguan's body are like earthworms shaking a tree.
The men in black looked pale, as if they had seen a ghost, looking at the dejected fat man in front of them.
However, Zhang Yuguan felt that there was some noise that alarmed him. At this moment, he finally woke up a little. He slowly raised his head, looked at the long swords stopped three feet away, and said coldly
"roll!"
The men in black were so frightened that they could no longer hold the swords in their hands, and they abandoned their swords and ran away.
At this moment, Zhang Yuguan sat cross-legged on the ground quietly, his scarlet eyes filled with murderous intent. He almost wanted to kill those people again, but at the last moment, he still suppressed the manic murderous intent in his body.
He silently recited the Bingxin Jue that his master taught him
"If your heart is as clear as ice, you won't be shocked when the sky falls; if everything changes, you will remain calm, and your spirit will be calm..."
After a long time, the scarlet color in his eyes gradually faded, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said to himself
"My cultivation is still too poor. I didn't expect that my Taoist heart would be so unstable. The first time I killed someone, I almost went crazy."
Then he felt relieved again
"Isn't it strange that a lazy person like me has a stable Taoist heart?"
However, what he didn't know was that at this moment, on the roof of the other side of the Gu family compound, there was a man in black quietly watching everything happening in the house.
Finally, when the man in black saw that the murderous intention in Zhang Yuguan's eyes disappeared, he jumped up and left the place.
Of course Zhang Yuguan didn't know anything. He first cried loudly for his master, and then walked around Gu's house holding his master's body, muttering to himself
"Although I am not as smart as Chang An, optimistic people will always have good luck. Since those men in black have stayed here and refused to leave, they must not have only this secret."
Then, at midnight, just as he said, he found a place.
But it’s not so much found as smelled.
When he passed by a remote courtyard, he accidentally smelled a fragrance. He felt that the fragrance was very familiar. Of course, what was even more strange was that there was such a fragrance in Gu's mansion, which had been empty for a year. Son, this is a weird thing.
He walked into the side courtyard, but it was just like the rest of the courtyard, lifeless. However, after sniffing carefully, he found that the smell did not come from the courtyard, but seemed to come from the attic at the end of the courtyard.
The attic had been covered in dust for a long time, and the outside of the building was covered with cobwebs, but Zhang Yuguan clearly found a clear fingerprint on the door.
He exited the yard again, looked at the layout outside the yard, and frowned slightly.
"No wonder, this is probably a very remote part of Gu Mansion. If you want to hide something, this is indeed a good place."
He walked into the yard again and came to the attic.
"Squeak."
He pushed open the old wooden door, and then, a huge amount of fragrance hit his nose.
The attic in front of you turned out to be a sea of red flowers!
