"call"
The sky was overcast, and the gray and black clouds were low and moving slowly southward. From time to time, snow drifted and swirled in the wind. A thick layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, and it was very cold.
In the "Yin" hall, the Emperor's Sword and the King's Order Card shook for no reason on the altar. Everyone could see this movement clearly.
The Taoist official in the middle was wearing an eighth-grade official uniform. He was slightly startled and said to everyone: "Quick, don't slack off, everyone, and maintain it with all your strength."
But before the words could be finished, there was a "pop" sound, and a crack appeared in the Emperor's Sword. Although there was only one crack, everyone was stunned.
"The emperor's sword is broken."
Although the Taoist official who presided over the sword was shocked and panicked, he felt an inexplicable joy in his heart: "The Emperor's Sword is originally made of steel that has been tempered for hundreds of times, and it is protected by dragon energy. There are cracks in it. I'm afraid something serious has happened."
Everyone opened their spiritual eyes and saw that the emperor's sword was originally a piece of golden dragon aura, but now almost no trace of it was left. The only green aura was still there. Not only was the azure cloud aura on the gold medal "as if I were here in person", but it also seemed to be affected by it. After being seriously injured, it became a lot darker. Everyone's expression changed and they had their own thoughts.
The Taoist official who deliberately made the wrong step lowered his head, hiding his smile, and secretly rejoiced: "With this strange appearance, Pei Ziyun must be dead."
Just when the smile appeared, Pei Ziyun's body suddenly groaned. The sound was like thunder. The Taoist official who made the wrong step turned pale.
"puff"
When Pei Ziyun woke up, he felt a pain in his chest, vomited out a mouthful of blood, opened his eyes, and realized that he was back in the hall of Weijiacun.
In his eyes, the Taoist official stopped, and the first Taoist official bowed quickly: "Zhenjun, the Emperor's Sword and the King's Order Pai Dragon Qi have disappeared, but something big has happened, is Zhenjun okay?"
Pei Ziyun listened to the greetings and smiled: "There were some mistakes, but it's not a big problem. I'm finally back."
Having said this, his eyes had swept across the hall, and the situation in the entire hall suddenly fell into his eyes. The first Taoist official looked at Pei Ziyun's face, and he didn't look very angry. He quickly bowed and apologized: "The true king has great supernatural powers, even if there are obstacles. , it must be solved in one fell swoop..."
Before Pei Ziyun could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed, he interrupted, and said coldly: "It may not be as easy as you think, especially if someone is deliberately trapping the enemy."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. It was so quiet that you could hear a needle. Only the snow that was getting bigger and bigger had the rustling sound. All you could see were eyes like torches. Whoever they were staring at, their hearts beat violently. Finally, He glanced at the Taoist official who was still snickering secretly as he stepped on the wrong foot.
Pei Ziyun stood up with a sneer, stretched out his hand, and pulled out the Emperor's Sword with just one sound. The Taoist official knew that it was not good, and kept dripping cold sweat. He still didn't understand. Pei Ziyun already knew everything, and immediately begged: "True Lord, I'm the official I didn’t mean to make a mistake, it’s just that the spell was cast too long, consumed too much, was mentally and physically weak, and stood for a long time, so I let my feet slack off. My true lord, please forgive me!”
Pei Ziyun walked leisurely for a while and said in a very calm tone: "Actually, Dao Lusi has been working hard with me these days, and the losses have been huge. This is all true, and there is nothing to say."
"But, in terms of your heart, have you ever thought about it, you are not ordinary people, you are from Daolu Division. According to the imperial system, you can be regarded as iron crops."
"The Taoism is passed down from generation to generation, hereditary to descendants, and I am usually free and at ease. Although my official rank is lower, my monthly salary is twice that of officials at the same level in the imperial court, which can be said to be rich."
Pei Ziyun smiled when he said this: "You yourselves, if there is something going on with the court, should you serve it?"
This was a very serious question. The Taoist official who was in charge at the moment couldn't stand still and knelt down: "It is a matter of loyalty to the emperor to eat the emperor's salary, let alone receive such a favor - it should be done with all one's strength."
"That's right, and if you think about it again, if you follow me, what I am doing is a private matter?"
The leading Taoist official even kowtowed: "The true king has worked hard for the country, and we all take it into our hearts."
"If that's the case, then there are still people who dare to betray me at the critical moment and ruin the big thing." Pei Ziyun smiled, flashing a hint of coldness: "Is this dissatisfaction with me? No, this is dissatisfaction with the imperial court and disloyalty to the emperor."
As he spoke, with one strike of the sword, the Taoist priest who stepped on the wrong foot squirmed, as if he wanted to say something more, but blood spurted out. He sighed twice and fell to his death.
The leading Taoist official opened his mouth and wanted to explain. He glanced at the corpse and said no more. He just lowered his head and sighed.
After killing this man, Pei Ziyun glanced at the Taoist officials and said: "If you disobey my orders and harm the imperial envoys, you will not only be beheaded by military law, but your family will also be held accountable. This will serve as a warning to others. You must take this as a warning."
After saying that, he waved his hand again: "The ritual is over, please step back. You who have done your duty this time will be rewarded. Go back and cultivate yourself."
"Yes!" These Taoist officials responded, like the tide receding.
Seeing that there was no one around, Pei Ziyun walked around for a long time before he calmed down and shook his head: "It was a fluke this time, what about next time?"
"It seems that Dao Lu Division is no longer available."
Pei Ziyun came out from under the eaves, looked at the snowflakes, and murmured: "I have made great contributions to the country many times, and I am afraid that my death is not far away. Fortunately, I am on the fourth floor this time. I can weather the spring thunder before my eyes, so I can be comforted..."
After regaining consciousness, he closed his eyes slightly, carefully feeling the changes and checking his status.
As soon as I felt it, I was immediately attracted to the small space and my mind was drawn to the sky.
The space is still floating in the void and darkness, but the space is larger, one-third larger. Even so, the small space is full of stone sculptures.
The surrounding stone walls were somewhat damaged and collapsed a lot. In the front, Pei Ziyun was focused on killing the demon clan and didn't pay too much attention. At this time, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
But what is gratifying is that the damage caused by the shock has been repaired, and there is still a steady stream of spiritual energy being absorbed in the space. I am already at the fourth level, and now I have reached 55% in one breath.
"But why did the demon statues convert so much spiritual energy in this mission?" Pei Ziyun was a little confused. If he killed more demons, would his strength be even higher
Thinking like this, there was a fire in my heart. My mind swept across the small space and stopped at the statue transformed by Cheng Yuanzi. The statue of Cheng Yuanzi was several times larger than the ordinary demon clan. The demonic energy was extracted and transformed. The number of spiritual energy is even greater.
"So that's it." Pei Ziyun understood. Cheng Yuanzi had become a demon. It was an earthly immortal. No wonder it extracted and transformed so much spiritual energy.
"More importantly, Fang Yongjie's authority has been taken away, and now only the blind Taoist is left."
"As long as I kill the blind Taoist, I can gain complete authority over the central dragon vein and take a step forward in my practice." Pei Ziyun thought with joy.
"Ding"
A plum appeared in front of me, and it quickly enlarged into a translucent data frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light, and the data appeared in front of my eyes.
"The mission is completed, the origin of the demon clan has been revealed, and the coordinates of the previous world have been found."
"The mission is to kill the blind Taoist (Demon King), seize all central dragon vein authority, and obtain more coordinates of the demon world."
When he saw the page, Pei Ziyun was startled: "The coordinates of the last world? Is this the way home?"
Pei Ziyun was stunned for a moment, and when he came into contact, a message was transmitted. He took it carefully, and just pondered for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "I am delusional... Sigh... It is difficult to cross the void... The so-called road home is Extract more world coordinates and head towards home... I don’t know how many worlds I have to pass through.”
Pei Ziyun opened his eyes, walked a few steps, showing melancholy, sighed, and looked at Fang Yongjie who was lifting him to one side: "First, solve Fang Yongjie's problem. I have obtained the authority of the dragon vein, and I have broken through the fourth level of the Earth Immortal. I have completely I have the ability to solve it.”
Thinking like this, when he arrived in front of Fang Yongjie, Fang Yongjie looked haggard, with his eyes closed and his head shaking, as if he was having a nightmare. Pei Ziyun stretched out his finger, just a little.
"Poof!" The spiritual light lit up and enveloped the whole person.
royal palace
This was originally a palace of the former dynasty, with very high standards. It was renovated and turned into a palace. However, the whole courtyard is filled with dark, green pine trees, which are as tall as the sky and as thick as a hug. In the study, King Lu's instructions are internal affairs. Now that the country has been established, we must pay attention to the people's sentiments. Many counties and counties have reported snow disasters, and they all need instructions one by one.
Suddenly, a wave of fatigue hit him, and King Lu couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead, feeling panicked in his heart.
"Why do I feel weak in my heart?" King Lu felt that he was tired, so he put the pen on the pen holder and ordered: "Someone, give me ginseng soup."
As he said this, the eunuch immediately responded. King Lu felt a surge of anger in his chest. His face turned red, but he still had reason. He grabbed the armrest and held it back forcibly. He closed his eyes and vomited for a long time. He took a breath and whispered: "How could this be? I feel that I have successfully cultivated my energy. I will not say that the landslide is in front of me, my face will not change, and I will not feel guilty and angry because of a mere snow disaster."
"Your Majesty, here comes the ginseng soup." The serving eunuch served the ginseng soup. King Lu took it with a gloomy face and took a sip, his mouth feeling slightly hot.
To be honest, this temperature was suitable in winter, but King Lu got angry and vomited it out. He threw the ginseng soup and the pieces flew everywhere.
"You dog slave, you don't even know how to serve. Why is this ginseng soup so hot?"
The little eunuch was startled and quickly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life."
King Lu's eyes were red and bloodshot. He stared at the little eunuch for a moment and sneered: "Come here, pull him out and beat him to death immediately."
The eunuchs and maids serving around him trembled when they heard this.
The little eunuch's nose was filled with snot and tears, and he quickly begged for mercy. The guards showed no mercy and dragged him out. In the blink of an eye, the sound of being hit by a stick could be heard. The little eunuch screamed for mercy, holding the stick between his hands. Everyone could hear it. It was horrifying, but after just a dozen sticks, the screams disappeared and turned into moans, and then there was no sound anymore. Suddenly, the study room was as quiet as death.
Still not relieved after killing the little eunuch, King Lu walked a few steps in the room, seemingly thinking, and suddenly a figure appeared in his mind: "Li Cheng"
Li Cheng was a blind Taoist who infiltrated under an alias. Thinking of this person, King Lu said, "Where's Li Cheng? Ask him to come see me."
Li Cheng is still good, but for some reason, when he thinks of this name, he is filled with anger.
"Yes" although it is a royal palace, it is temporary after all. It is not far away from the offices and residences of close ministers. The eunuch hurried out in response and came back after a while to report: "Li Cheng, Li Yuan left the house a moment ago." Palace, saying that I was on an errand on the emperor’s order.”
"What? Is this person so bold?" King Lu's face turned red when he heard this, and he cursed: "It's a false edict. This is a false edict. If anyone comes, send someone to capture him immediately. If he resists, he will be killed without mercy."
"Yes!" The eunuch felt a chill in his heart. He didn't dare to hesitate and immediately went out. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of armored soldiers clanged their armor and rushed towards him.
Outside the city, the snow was falling heavily. The blind Taoist wiped his blood and looked back at the state capital. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Originally, he could secretly control the situation by King Lu's side, but now he had to flee. He smiled bitterly and said to the scribe: "Let's go, we will take charge of the overall situation secretly."
