Just when Yun Qing escaped from Master Dajing and ran into Wuxuan Mountain, the Lutian Holy Altar ignited with blazing black flames, and thousands of high priests struggled to remove these pollutants. 『Elegant*Wen*Words*Emotion*First*Posted』

"This is the situation." Le Shu, dressed in black and white sacrificial robes, handed the jade slip to Yan Tiangong.

"Yes, we will summon the law enforcement disciples to hunt her down within today, and also ask Senior Sister Le to report back to the Imperial Master..." One of the receiving disciples said respectfully.

This is the Yantian Palace, the place in charge of punishment among the 108 palaces of the Temple of Heaven.

"Do you all understand what the Imperial Preceptor means?" Le Shu was still a little worried. The Imperial Preceptor has not personally issued an order for many years. This matter may be of great significance.

"Of course I understand. There is no need to be merciful. Kill him completely. If you leave him alone, he will be in serious trouble. Although he is a humane monk, as a law enforcement disciple, he can still do these things." Yan Tiangong received the disciple and replied respectfully. He knew that the person in front of him was The young girl is only one step away from entering the Taoism, and she is also the direct disciple of the national master.

Le Shu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for the limitations of my cultivation, I would have hunted down this murderer with the teachers now."

"Is she the one who sneaked into the Hundred Flowers Festival and defiled the Lutian Holy Pond?" the disciple asked curiously. He looked at the image in the jade slip. It was a girl about the same age as Le Shu, with a pale and calm face. She was wearing a large sacrificial robe, sitting in the ice and snow, her body covered in blazing black flames.

"Yes, it seems that he is not an ordinary disciple of the devil, and he can actually escape from the master. You must be careful this time." Le Shu also looked a little solemn.

"This... is just a child..." The disciple still felt a little incredible. The girl in the image did not look like a bad person no matter how he looked.

"Child? She once allowed her subordinates to kill the disciples of the inner sect. She took someone else's identity and sneaked into the Temple of Heaven during the fire. The fire was probably related to her. She also lied to me and almost became an inner sect disciple. . If there had not been a national teacher stationed at the Lutian Holy Altar to severely injure this person, I am afraid that the damage to the holy pool would have been even more serious." Le Shu said solemnly, she did not want the law enforcement disciples to lose their lives in vain because of underestimating the enemy.

"There is such a plan at such a young age..." The disciple who received him was dumbfounded.

Le Shu continued: "In short, this person's background is not simple, so please be careful."

The receiving disciple nodded and began to make the edict.

Seeing that he had listened to his words, Le Shu finally felt relieved. She turned around and left Yan Tiangong, heading to the Lu Tian Holy Altar.

There are still a lot of things waiting for her to solve.

"See Master." Le Shu walked to the holy pool. At this time, the pool was surrounded by high priests participating in the cleaning.

The Imperial Master did not speak, sitting in the void like a statue of god, peaceful and silent.

"Master, please take action and search the direction in which the man left."

The Imperial Master still didn't answer.

Le Shu knelt down and said, "I am stupid, I don't know what Master means?"

"I don't know. en8."

Le Shu opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but look up at him.

"His whereabouts are unknown." The Imperial Master's face was cold, "You don't have to worry about this anymore, just go back."

Le Shu hesitated to speak, but finally decided to let go of his worries and go back to practice with all his heart, preparing to be promoted to Taoism.

At the same time, in the deserted city in the south, Jiu Ming City.

"I heard that a new recruit came here today?" A lazy soldier leaned against the dilapidated city wall.

"He's a young man." Military doctor Liu Shu sneaked out to bask in the sun and talk to these bored soldiers.

"There are still young masters coming to this ghost place these days?" The soldier looked surprised. "With the civil servants headed by the national preceptor having been in power for so many years, who would still be willing to join the army to gain seniority?"

"Where are the Xie family..." Liu Shu seemed to have some information, "They have already sworn an oath to the late emperor. They will not be officials or involved in government affairs for generations. How can they dare to blatantly let their descendants go to court?"

"But there's no need to send this young man to this place, is it? There are no women here, no women, no wine, no wine, what a bastard!" The soldier still looked puzzled.

"Hey, you don't know this, right?" Liu Shu paused.

"What's going on? Is there something inside?" The soldier suddenly became excited.

Liu Shu saw that he had whetted his appetite, and then he continued with satisfaction: "I heard that the young master is an infatuated man!"

"So what?" The soldier was puzzled.

"You don't understand! This scholar is so mean! That young man met a woman on a boat drinking wine. She must be some kind of fairy. She wanted to become an immortal and wanted to have sex with that fairy. Whatever happens to Mu. The Xie family is just a single person. If he ran away with that woman with ulterior motives, it would be so easy! The old lady locked up the young master without saying a word."

"But why do you want him to come to this remote city to serve as a soldier now?" The soldier still didn't understand.

"You should listen to what I have to say!" Liu Shu said angrily, "But, this young master was unwilling to be left alone and managed to run out again. It was not until more than ten days later that the Xie family caught him in Ci'an City. This old lady But he was so angry that he brought him to the army in a rage, saying... Hey, after becoming a soldier and training hard, naturally you won't have the energy to think about women."

"I see..." The soldier smiled understandingly.

At this time, in the tea shop, Xie Yao, who they were talking about passionately, and Zhu Yuansheng, the young commander stationed here, sat face to face.

Xie Yao looked listless and his eyes were staring at nowhere.

Zhu Yuansheng slapped the table and raised his eyebrows: "If you don't sit down, how can you behave properly!"

"Don't you believe what I say?" Xie Yao said.

Zhu Yuansheng choked and took a breath: "Brother, even if there is such a thing as cultivating immortals, it is too far away from us. Just listen to what I said..."

Xie Yao pushed away the chair, stood up and left.

"Hey! You bastard, come back here!" Zhu Yuansheng slammed the table again, and the teapot on the table was shaken by him.

Xie Yao turned back: "You said you don't believe me, what else should I tell you?"

"It's not that I don't believe it..." Zhu Yuansheng said smoothly.

Xie Yao's eyes lit up immediately, and he ran back again: "Do you believe it? Do you believe it? I just said that cousin, you are the most reasonable!"

Zhu Yuansheng can be regarded as a relative of the Xie family, so it doesn't matter if Xie Yao calls him brother.

"This..." Zhu Yuansheng looked at him tangledly, reaching out to pour tea to catch his breath, but when he raised his hand, he found that the teapot had been broken by himself.

Xie Yaozheng was worried that no one would listen to him about his experience, so he quickly took out a small pot from his arms and poured a glass of water for Zhu Yuansheng.

"Brother, I really had an adventure when I went out this time! I found the Immortal Palace and the Hundred Flowers Seal of the Blue Emperor. I can already practice Taoism! As long as I go out and find the mountain gate of the immortal cultivator, I can become a disciple. Study, and then go find Fairy Wuxia..." Xie Yao said nonchalantly.

Zhu Yuansheng heard these words countless times. He drank the water that Xie Yao poured for him and felt an indescribable sense of relief: "Brother, it's not what I said. No matter how crazy you are, I won't stop you. After all, Everyone is young. But why don't you think about the old lady? She is so old, and you ran away without saying a word, and you scared people to death? "

"If I had told you, how could I have run out to find immortality? I would have been locked up at home for the rest of my life!" Xie Yao said dissatisfied.

When Zhu Yuansheng heard what he said, he became angry and was about to scold him loudly for not observing filial piety.

"Where did you get this pot?" Suddenly an old voice appeared in their ears.

Uncle Cha took a broom to clean up the debris on the ground and pointed at the small pot in Xie Yao's hand.

Xie Yao seemed to suddenly remember something: "Yes, yes, I also brought back a magic weapon! This is a heaven and earth pot, which can hold the size of heaven and earth..."

Zhu Yuansheng squirted out a mouthful of water: "Fart, you kid! You know nonsense!"

"This is a great Heaven and Earth Pot. Where did you get it?" Uncle Cha had deep wrinkles on his face, and it was impossible to imagine what he looked like when he was young.

"A girl gave it to me!" Xie Yao looked at the old man strangely, feeling that his temperament was very unusual.

"There is a big man accompanying the girl. One of them is blind and the other mute?" The old man, Uncle Cha, seemed to frown, and those wrinkles were crowded together, which was scary.

"Exactly! Father-in-law, do you also know Yun Qinghe... Hey! Wait a minute!!"

Xie Yao was pleasantly surprised and wanted to share what happened between the two of them with Uncle Cha, but he didn't expect him to turn around and leave without saying a word.

Xie Yao sat back down depressedly, looking at each other with Zhu Yuansheng.

Uncle Cha walked to the city wall and frowned little by little as he looked at the distant south.

In the wild land to the south, something is ready to move.

He then glanced at Xie Yao, who was quarreling with Zhu Yuansheng in the tea shop, and sighed softly: "The way of heaven is unkind, all life is suffering, and all life is full of sorrow..."

"You seem to have seen through the idea of a heaven and earth pot for you to join the game. But in the end, under the law of heaven, we are all chess pieces. It won't affect the overall situation if I exchange one piece with you..."

On the edge of Shiwan Mountain, countless strange and strange monsters rushed out of the forest.

The originally peaceful village was already littered with corpses. People who used to go hunting in the mountains are now reduced to food for the prey. There were rivers of blood and mountains of bones. Not even a single living person could be seen, not even a complete corpse.

Looking down from the sky, the originally green woods were crushed to the ground by this tide of beasts. The black tide of beasts surged toward the densely populated areas in the north, just like a river overflowing its banks. The torrent of water was about to overwhelm the fragile villages and even the small towns that isolated the southern barbarians.

The sound of the beast's trumpet could be heard for thousands of miles, and the sound of running in unison echoed, and the earth trembled with fear. Countless demonic energies gathered together and soared into the sky like pillars of heaven.

Among the beasts, there was an obvious empty space. In the center of this empty space were four giant beasts that looked like leopards, had long tails, and had human heads and bull ears, pulling a chariot.

The brass chariot looks complicated and strange, and the body is decorated with a pattern of blue dragons, hummingbirds, and cirrus clouds. This painting is detailed and exquisite. At first glance, it looks like a blue dragon ascending to the sky and a phoenix dancing by itself. There are also colorful flags, copper bells and necklaces hanging on the car body. The roof of the car is covered with bluebird feathers and embedded with Zhudan patterns. This chariot is particularly eye-catching due to its bright colors among the dark beast tide.

A slender white hand gently opened the curtain, revealing half of a charming face.

This person was the woman who danced for the Imperial Master in the Hongluan Pavilion in Jingdu.

As soon as she moved, several giant beasts pulling the cart snorted, and their whole bodies tensed up, with a look of fear in Tong Ling's big eyes.

"How far is it from my city?" The woman's voice was soft and desolate. Most beauties are young and lively, but she has a sense of accumulation over time. It's like a fine wine that has been stored for many years, making people indulge in such a mellow aroma.

"To tell you what, madam, this place is only three thousand miles away from Jiu Ming City." A giant beast spoke human words, with a tone that was both fearful and attentive.

"Haha..." The beauty smiled softly. This laughter was so charming that it made people go crazy. With a slip of her hand, the curtain was closed again.

The giant beast suddenly let out a howl, and a bloody thing fell from its mouth, which turned out to be half of its tongue.

The beasts behind quickly trampled the half of the tongue to pieces.

"Don't answer me casually..." the beauty said slowly. Although there was a slight smile in her words, every word still hit the hearts of those monsters like ice picks.

"I said, that is my city, let's call it Nine Lives from now on."

Countless monsters howled in pain and madness, and the beast tide surged toward the ancient capital of the previous dynasty that had been peaceful for hundreds of years—

Jiu Ming City.
