At this time, two carriages rushed out of the Luoyang Palace and rushed towards Nancheng. In the carriage, Xu Zekai and Ji Ruochen sat opposite each other. Both of them had solemn faces, frowning and silence. The carriage was filled with

There was an oppressive silence.

The car window was open, and an ancient tree suddenly came into Ji Ruochen's sight. A baby's face grew out of the tree, and it was crying. When it made eye contact with Ji Ruochen, it suddenly stopped crying, opened its eyes, and laughed.

It smiled at Ji Ruochen. However, there were no pupils in its eyes at all, but a pair of empty pupils with blood and flesh!

Ji Ruochen had a handsome face and was calm. He stared at the baby expressionlessly until Gu Mu disappeared from the car window, and then he looked away.

Suddenly, a shrill scream of a dying baby came from behind the carriage. The baby's face on the ancient tree seemed to have suffered great pain, and it struggled desperately. After a while, it actually broke free from the tree, carrying stripes with it.

Strips of bloody muscle fell to the ground. As soon as the flesh and blood touched the sun, green smoke erupted on the spot, the stench overflowed, and it burned into a ball of charcoal in the blink of an eye. But there was a trace left on the ancient tree.

There is a big blood hole, and a line of blood spurts out from time to time.

In the carriage, Xu Zekai was full of admiration and said: "Uncle Ji's determination is really amazing! This baby was born from the filthy energy of Huangquan. Although it is not very powerful, it is very troublesome. It really takes a lot of power to destroy it.

.Uncle Master's heart is completely unmoved, so that his filthy energy has nowhere to go and bites him. This ability to defeat the enemy invisibly makes Zekai admire him!"

Ji Ruochen turned his head, with no trace of expression on his face. He stared at Xu Zekai, thoughtfully, and after a moment he said: "Mr. Zekai, your admiration skill is so powerful that you can transform the enemy into the invisible.

Very!"

Xu Zekai chuckled and said: "Uncle, I'm laughing at you. Flattery is a must-learn in secular affairs. No matter how virtuous and well-educated you are, if you hear flattery a lot, you will slowly start to believe it. So with this boast

The practice of learning is the same as that of cultivating Taoism. The key point is the same word. The master's status is respected, and he will receive a lot of flattery in the future. At this time, Zekai is just demonstrating it to the master."

Ji Ruochen thought for a moment and said, "Thanks for the advice."

At this time, the carriage stopped in front of a dead tree by Luoshui River. Xu Zekai got out of the carriage and walked around the old tree to examine it carefully. After a while, he returned to the car with a helpless expression, sat down slumped, and sighed heavily.

.

Ji Ruochen glanced at the dead tree, his eyebrows furrowed and his face solemn.

The carriage set off again, Xu Zekai was silent for a while, and finally said: "Uncle Master, the Water Escape in Taiyi's Five Elements Escape has expired, and I think the only remaining Fire Escape has little hope. Now that the siege of Luoyang has been completed, the internal and external atmospheres are isolated.

The entire Dongdu has become a dead place. If Fire Escape also loses its effectiveness, Ze Kai will have no way to send the message back to the sect. In these few days, I am afraid we can only rely on our own efforts to protect ourselves."

Ji Ruochen frowned and asked, "What on earth is going on? Why did Luoyang turn into such a desperate place for no reason?"

Xu Zekai carefully considered his sentences and said: "More than a month ago, the energy of the Yellow Dragon in Luoyang rushed straight into the sky, and the saints and gods would be born here. At that time, I calculated with great concentration that tomorrow night, when the energy from all directions converged, all the beasts would come to worship, and the saints and gods would appear.

At that time, I never expected that Luoyang's energy would suddenly turn around in the past few days, and signs of troubled times would appear frequently. When I woke up this morning, the siege of the city had been completed, and the foul smell of Huangquan spread to the whole city as soon as it appeared, and the eastern capital suddenly became desperate. All these things, when the master is dark

The Demon of the Abyss will appear in the world tomorrow and cause harm to the world. However, Zekai is not good at Feng Shui physiognomy, so I don’t know if his prediction is accurate."

Ji Ruochen remained silent, recalling the scriptures he had read in the past. There were many detailed descriptions of evil spirits in the world, but there were no details about where they were in the underworld. He only said that evil spirits all came from under the Nine Earths, and the Three Pure Secrets left by Guangchengzi contained In one chapter of "Foreign Object Chronicles", the demons of the Nine Earths are divided into three categories, which are classified according to the lower and upper categories, and are named Ankyuan, Huangquan and Jiuyou respectively. It is said that the demons of Ankyuan bring disaster to a country, and the demons of Huangquan bring chaos to the world and destroy all living beings. And if the Nine Nether Demon is born, there will be landslides and tsunamis, the sky will rain with red flames, and the earth will surge with blood.

Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of a small temple. Xu Zekai got off the car and entered the temple. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that the bright yellow candle in front of the statue had been extinguished for a long time. He was stunned. He stood there for a moment, then smiled bitterly. , shook his head dejectedly, turned around and got into the car, and ordered to go back to Prince Luo's Mansion.

The carriage started slowly.

Xu Zekai was silent for a moment, then Fang smiled bitterly and said to Ji Ruochen: "Uncle, for the current plan, we can only defend Prince Luo's Mansion and wait for the evil spirit to be born. Uncle Master, go to the Prince's Mansion. Zekai will go back to the Mansion first and wait to get it." Let’s go to Huiyuan to arrange the magic weapon.”

Ji Ruochen nodded and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he suddenly asked: "I see that Prince Li's hands are stained with blood, his eyebrows are blue and black, and there seems to be a ghost following him behind him, staying with him day and night. This is extremely sinister. Prime Minister, maybe it has something to do with this big change. If we stick to Luo Prince's Mansion, will we fall into a trap instead?"

Xu Zekai was taken aback and stared at Ji Ruochen for a long time before sighing and saying: "Uncle Master still doesn't know the whole story. The three evil stars in Prince Li's life palace have gathered together and are filled with murderous intent, which shows the sign of great evil. It's winter again, and at that time, he was Li Chong, the king of Luoyang, suddenly fell ill and passed away. Prince Li was Li Chong's younger brother. He had always been favored by Emperor Ming, so he succeeded to the throne. However, since his uncle asked about it, Ze Kai did not dare to hide it. In fact, Li Chong did not die of illness, but he died that day. Occasionally feeling the wind and cold, Prince Li entered the palace at night. After a fierce battle, all the seven great alchemists raised by Li Chong died in the battle. Prince Li himself drank a pot of ice sorrel from his own hands, which turned his internal organs into snow and died on the spot. Li Chong died on the spot. The prince reported that Li Chong was busy due to the cold, and he had always been liked by Emperor Ming, so he took the prince away."

For a moment, Ji Ruochen seemed to have seen the scene of brothers fighting each other on that snowy night. He was silent for a moment and then asked: "Mr. Zekai, do you know about this?"

Xu Zekai said: "That night, three foreign alchemists died in my hands. If it were not for the merit of supporting them, they would not be so valued by Prince Li."

Ji Ruochen glanced at Xu Zekai and saw that his expression and smile remained unchanged. He sighed secretly and said, "So, the ghost behind the prince must be the resentment of Li Chong. Why don't you get rid of it?"

Xu Zekai said: "Prince Li is indeed a very wise and courageous man. He knew that the ghost of his deceased brother would not retreat, but he did not let us cast spells. He said that Li Chong could not do anything to him when he was alive, but could he still cause trouble after death? It’s okay to just let his ghost follow you all the time, and there will be no peace. In fact, Prince Li is not afraid of being entangled by the ghost because of the gathering of evil stars in his life palace.”

When Ji Ruochen was silent, Xu Zekai sighed again: "I didn't expect that my uncle would be so wise that he could see through the fortunes of the human body and palace! No wonder the nine real people are so fond of my uncle!"

Ji Ruochen didn't answer in silence, just staring at his own hands. Under his gaze, the car suddenly became dark, and only his slender and powerful hands lit up with a soft glow. In that crystal skin, Suddenly a little vermilion appeared, and then the vermilion became more and more viscous, and gradually seeped out of the skin, it was just a little blood!

The drop of blood melted away again, spreading along the back of his hand, and more blood seeped out from under the skin. In the blink of an eye, Ji Ruochen's hands were covered with dripping blood.

Ji Ruochen sighed secretly, retracted his gaze, and returned his hands to their original positions.

At this moment, something suddenly moved in his heart, and he suddenly shouted: "Stop!" A burst of true energy naturally spurted out, and his body suddenly became extremely heavy. The two horses pulling the cart neighed, and they stood up.

, the iron hoofs stepped on the ground several times, but they could not move the car one step.

Ji Ruochen opened the window and looked out. The carriage happened to be parked at a T-junction, and the window faced a wide and deep alley. The alley was paved with bluestones, and it was extraordinary. At a glance, it looked like it was long.

There are only a few houses in the alley, which shows that it is a wealthy place.

Ji Ruochen frowned slightly and asked Xu Zekai, "Where is this place?"

Xu Zekai took one look and said: "This is Tongchuan Lane, where the nobles live."

Ji Ruochen hesitated for a moment and then said, "Let's go in and have a look."

The carriage then turned and drove into the alley.

In the carriage, Ji Ruochen closed his eyes tightly and his face became increasingly pale. He suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Stop!"

This time the coachman was well prepared, and as he was not driving very fast, he immediately reined in the horse upon hearing this, and the carriage stopped immediately.

Ji Ruochen opened the car window again and looked out, and saw the carriage parked at the door of a large house. The door of this house was a foot wider than the ordinary house. It was painted with vermilion lacquer and had brass nails. The door was the size of two basins.

It has a unicorn head with a ring around it, and a sapphire tiger with purple stripes squats on both sides of the front steps, making it look like an unusual home.

"Where is this?" Ji Ruochen asked.

Xu Zekai glanced outside and said with a smile: "Uncle Master, there is no ordinary person in his eyes. There were two noble concubines of the current dynasty in the Luo Mansion. If you look closely, the current Prime Minister Yang actually came from the Luo Mansion. Therefore, the emperor's family is so prosperous."

, is actually one of the first-class families in the world. There were originally three families on this side of Tongchuan Lane. Now the other two families have already given up their homeland to the Luo family, so that they can have what they are today. The master's uncle has an unparalleled eye, he must have seen something.

Come?"

At this time, two carriages stopped at the gate of the palace, which had already attracted the attention of the four guards. An old man who looked like a butler coughed, came up to them, and said with cupped hands: "Which gentleman from the palace is driving the carriage?"

Although this butler is a servant, he is very confident and is neither humble nor arrogant when facing the carriage bearing the mark of the Luoyang Palace, which shows the power of the Luoyang Palace.

Xu Zekai asked: "Uncle Master, do you want to visit Luo Mansion? There are only the old lady and a few young masters and ladies in Luo Mansion now."

Ji Ruochen immediately shook his head.

Xu Zekai put his head out of the car and said with a smile: "How are you doing, Butler Li? I was just passing by today and wanted to say hello to Butler Li."

When Butler Li saw it was Xu Zekai, he immediately smiled and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Zekai! Thanks to Mr. Zekai's help that day, my daughter was cured of her chronic illness. I haven't even thanked you for this! Do you want to sit in the house?"

sit?"

Xu Zekai smiled and said: "There is still a summons from the palace today, let's wait for another day!"

Butler Li said: "Yes, the sudden changes in Luoyang in the past few days have disturbed the old lady. At this time, the palace originally needs Mr. to use his magic to determine the overall situation. But after Mr. was busy, he still wanted to invite a group of people to the house.

The old lady always says that she sees some lonely ghosts wandering around in the house, and she would like to ask your husband to defuse them when the time comes."

Xu Zekai agreed and drove away.

Ji Ruochen was sitting in the car, his face extremely pale, and his forehead was covered with thin beads of cold sweat, as if he was exhausted. It wasn't until the carriage left Tongchuan Lane that he felt a little better, and then asked weakly: "Mr. Zekai, are you

Tao Xing is about to enter the realm of supreme purity, and the Luo family actually wants you to do some small things to exorcise ghosts and eliminate filth, how can you bear this tone?"

Xu Zekai smiled and said: "Uncle, this is the difference between spiritual practice and secular affairs. In our opinion, exorcising ghosts and evil spirits is nothing more than a simple effort. Most of the time, there are no evil spirits at all. Those who seek Dharma just want peace of mind."

.But in the eyes of the Luo family, the old lady's peace of mind is a big deal. I'm just doing a little work, but I have given a huge favor to the Luo family, so why should I be so angry? But my uncle has just walked in front of the Luo family.

After the lap, he looked very uncomfortable. Is there anything I can do for you that Zekai can help me with?"

Ji Ruochen smiled weakly and said: "I'm fine, don't worry. But Luoyang has undergone a big change, and Luo Mansion doesn't seem to be affected much. What's going on?"

Xu Zekai said: "The characteristic of Huangquan's filthy air is to infect all things, especially the effect of swallowing up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Now Luoyang is filled with filthy air, and all dead things have the meaning of demonization, but these little monsters will only come towards the monks. Ordinary people

If the people don’t have much spirit, they won’t be disturbed.”
