“With the help of the National Master, the evil spirit in Master’s body has been completely dissipated. However, his meridians and soul have been deeply invaded by the evil spirit. It will take a long time to recover, and my cultivation will probably be greatly damaged.” Lu Huaming said in a deep voice.
Shen Luo's heart sank when he heard this. He didn't expect Cheng Yaojin's injuries to be so serious.
"The Tang government and Master Yuan are all-powerful. There is no reason for me to embarrass myself in this matter. However, during the battle at Circular Mound yesterday, I obtained these three treasures from several demons. They all have the effect of suppressing evil spirits. I would like to trouble you two to send them to Duke Cheng to help him recover soon. This is my way of repaying Duke Cheng for his kindness to me in the past." He pondered for a moment and took out Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, the Wordless Sutra and the Demon-Subduing Book and placed them on the table.
Lu Huaming did not recognize the three treasures, but Master Huangmu knew that these three treasures were Yuan Tiangang’s personal treasures. How could they be with Shen Luo
Thoughts surged in his mind, and he wanted to ask, but in the end he didn't say it out loud.
Master Huang Mu pondered over it again and again, and finally accepted the three treasures. He planned to go to the palace immediately later to ask Yuan Tiangang.
After they talked for a while, Lu Huaming and Master Huang Mu said goodbye and left.
"Brother Shen, are you planning to go to the Kingdom of Qingqiu?" Hu Bugui asked after seeing the two off.
"The matter in Chang'an City is full of doubts. The Qingqiu Fox Clan may not be the accomplices. I will feel uneasy if I don't investigate the matter thoroughly." Shen Luo sighed and said.
"Brother Shen killed countless demons last night without blinking an eye. He was like the God of Death descended to the earth, making people afraid. I didn't expect that he had such a compassionate heart." Hu Bugui laughed.
"The matter is urgent. I will set off now. Brother Fox, what are your plans?" Shen Luo gave Hu Bugui a cold look and asked unhappily.
"Brother Shen, as a human, is willing to work hard for our fox clan. After all, I am also a member of the fox clan, so it is naturally my duty to go with you." Hu Bugui said with a smile.
Shen Luo nodded slightly. He had never been to Qingqiu Country. With Hu Bugui, who knew the place well, following him, many things would be much easier.
The two of them set off without delay.
…
On the border of the Tang Dynasty, more than a hundred miles outside Hongzhou City, there is a border military town called Xiangyang Town.
The town is not large in area, but it is extremely busy on weekdays. This is because it borders the Chaoyang Valley to the south and is a neighbor of the Qingqiu Kingdom in the valley, with which it often conducts various trade exchanges.
Qingqiu State is the kingdom of the fox clan. When the clan members have cultivated to a certain level, they can transform into human form. Their skins are of the best quality in the world, so they are favored by the human race and often attract people from all over the place to come here.
However, the situation in the military town has changed in recent days.
For unknown reasons, the Tang government suddenly issued an order to close down trade activities in Xiangyang Military Town. Immediately afterwards, a large number of troops from Hongzhou were dispatched and stationed in Xiangyang Town.
The originally dispensable military town and city defenses were uniformly replaced by the government troops and began to become extremely strict, with an attitude of being ready for war at any time.
On this day, Shen Luo and his three companions finally arrived here.
They rested for a while in the military town, and after Hu Bugui filled his glass with wine, he prepared to leave Xiangyang Town and enter Chaoyang Valley.
Just as the three were about to leave the town, they were stopped by the garrison troops.
The leading monk was only at the early stage of Mahayana cultivation. He could not tell the strength of Shen Luo and Hu Bugui, but he vaguely sensed the fox aura on Mi Su, and immediately led his men to surround them.
