As Jun Qianzi's voice stopped, the talisman burned and annihilated itself, turning into ashes and dissipating in the wind.
Lian Xuanxiao stood silently with his sword in hand, his eyes slowly lowered, as if he had aged a few years in a daze.
"Alas..."
He let out a long sigh, sheathed his sword, and lifted up the cuff of his right hand.
There is a deep, burnt black scar carved on the thin arm.
The scar extends from the elbow to the shoulder, chest, and heart, and spreads like a spider web.
It's like he has life, appearing and disappearing with every breath he takes.
Lian Xuanxiao put down his sleeves, faced Chang'an, and stared at the country he loved.
I don’t know how long I can hold on...
He shook his head, and his figure disappeared, leaving only a barren, lifeless hole in the forest, silently facing the sky.
————
The fire was put out.
Chen Danqiu looked down at the scorched Chang'an City and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The plan made by those who attacked Chang'an must be sinister. If the fire was caused by a talisman, Xuegong Zhenfusi can easily put it out.
However, the fire caused by the giant toothed whale oil is not affected by the spell. It is difficult to extinguish even if it rains, and it spreads easily.
Fortunately, everyone responded promptly and the rescue was successful.
In addition, not all fireworks in Fangshi exploded successfully,
Finally, the disaster did not develop in the worst direction.
And the chaotic wind that enveloped the city slowly dissipated because the disaster did not intensify further, and I don’t know where it went.
Sui——
Shen Tuyu flew out of the palace and stopped in front of Chen Danqiu.
"Senior brother,"
Chen Danqiu said hello, "How is your Majesty?"
"It's very safe in the darkroom of Daming Palace."
Shen Tuyu paused for a moment, smiled bitterly and said, "I'm still angry."
The emperor's rage is justifiable,
Jinwu Guards, Zhenfu Division and other agencies have made preparations for a full year for the security of the King of Yue's wedding.
But this kind of accident still happened.
The royal family members, court ministers, and envoys from various countries at the wedding were almost killed, and the entire city of Chang'an was plunged into a sea of fire, almost burning to the ground.
The culprit must be found.
Shen Tuyu said: "Jinwuwei has, in the shortest possible time, sent out the merchants from the east and west cities who proposed to hold the begging festival, the craftsmen who made fireworks and lanterns, the guards at the city gate responsible for checking incoming and outgoing goods, etc., all those who may be involved in the attackers,
Take control of everything.
There are as many as three thousand people."
Chen Danqiu frowned and said: "So many people?"
"It's unclear which link made the mistake, and it's still under investigation."
Shen Tuyu frowned and said: "When my men went to arrest according to the list just now, many people on the list either disappeared mysteriously or committed suicide.
It’s not like the spies of Zhou, Jing, or the Turks. It’s more like... the thousand-machine puppet technique of the former Sui Dynasty Taixuanzong.”
"What?!"
Chen Danqiu's eyelids jumped. Taixuanzong was one of the most powerful hidden sects in the former Sui Dynasty. He loved collecting epigraphic artifacts and studying ancient secrets.
Their Qianji Puppet Technique can perfectly control those with lower cultivation levels than themselves and make them puppets.
As long as the number of thoughts and the speed of thinking can keep up, you can even control hundreds or thousands of people at the same time!
Food vendors who warmly entertain customers on the street, pot-bellied merchants, government servants who fish in troubled waters, and even singers in romantic places,
In such a big city, anyone can be a puppet.
The threat to social order is unmatched by any occult technique.
"How's the situation?"
Before anyone arrived, the sound had already arrived. Lian Xuanxiao flew down from the clouds and landed in front of Shen Tuyu and Chen Danqiu.
The two of them bowed and quickly introduced the current situation of Chang'an City.
"The monk who released the Thousand Planes Puppet Technique has already smelled the wind and escaped from Chang'an. However, Chang'an Wei Jing has already recorded his aura."
Shen Tuyu said: "As long as he appears again, he can be locked directly."
"Yeah."
Lian Xuanxiao nodded without comment,
Chen Danqiu hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Chief, this attack..."
"Jun Qianzi,"
Lian Xuanxiao said lightly: "There is indeed his shadow behind this."
Shen Tuyu and Chen Danqiu looked at each other and fell silent.
The bloody atmosphere of the defection more than ten years ago is still unforgettable. At that time, the two people were not only worshiping and offering wine, but also witnesses of that incident.
"I'll leave this to you."
Lian Xuanxiao said, flying towards the Furong Garden.
"Tsk."
Shen Tuyu smacked his lips with mixed emotions. With Jun Qianzi's talent, knowledge and popularity, if he didn't defect, he would definitely be able to ascend to the position of Siye.
He understands that enemies like Xuegong and Yu State are far more terrifying than the thousands of troops of Zhou and Jing.
"Mr. Shentu!"
Qi Ji, the deputy commander of the Zhenfu Division, took off with the help of a talisman and quickly said to Shen Tuyu and Chen Danqiu: "Situ Zhi, who was previously imprisoned in the sarcophagus forest, has disappeared."
————
Gululu.
The wheels turned and the carriage drove on the official road to the north.
Situ Zhi, who is pale and has messy beard and hair, is sitting on the carriage seat.
He was still wearing heavy shackles on his hands and feet, and his body was covered with chains.
On the shoulder, there are two flesh and blood holes that penetrate the Pipa bone.
The whole sea of popularity is sluggish, the spiritual veins are shrinking, and there is no hope of recovering the cultivation level.
But his eyes are as sharp as ever.
"You dare to use secret techniques to kidnap me under the watchful eye of Zhenfu Si, just when Lian Xuanxiao had just left. You are indeed very brave."
Situ Zhi spoke slowly. Because he had not spoken for so long, his voice was as hoarse as a millstone, "However, if you dare to betray Zhao Ming, you are no longer brave, but stupid."
Sitting opposite him was a girl with a slight smile, Lu Yunan, a businessman from Montenegro in the north.
"Mr. Situ said it wrong. When did I betray Zhao Ming?"
Lu Yunan smiled and said: "Afraid of being targeted by Chang'an Wei Jing, Yajiu destroyed all the puppets and escaped from Chang'an himself, thousands of miles away.
Therefore, in her view, I just followed the instructions, released Li Luanfeng, and took the opportunity to leave Chang'an after completing the task.
No one knows you are here.
Even if Yajiu and the others find out in the future that you disappeared in the disaster, they will only think that it was the Zhenfu Division or the Academy that transferred you to a more secretive prison."
Zhao Ming acts secretly,
The person at the top is You Qiong, who single-handedly founded the organization.
Situ Zhi, Jun Qianzi, Yuansou, Guixiao and other Zhuxiao monks all obeyed his orders.
Under this, there are core members like Jun Qianzi’s disciple Yajiu and Situ Zhi’s disciple Yu Shi.
As well as peripheral members like Lu Yunan and Li Ang who have been grasped and are ready to be recruited into the organization.
Lu Yunan knew that Zhao Ming was unfathomable and there were countless powerful monks, but she still chose to take Situ Zhi away at the huge risk of being exterminated.
Even Situ Zhi himself couldn't understand this.
"My Qihai has been destroyed, and you probably don't have any way to restore my cultivation."
Situ Zhi asked hoarsely: "I want to know, what are you planning?"
"Your Excellency was expelled from the Western Kingdom because of taboo research, and was not tolerated by the Yu and Zhou Kingdoms.
Gu masters, no matter where they go, are being alerted and guarded against.
Even in the midst of all the villains, there is no Zhuxiao monk who is willing to partner with you."
Lu Yunan smiled and said: "And I am willing to provide you with a stage to display your talents and skills.
For example, Turks."
She took out a spherical glass container from under the carriage table.
In the container, there lies a dying black mouse covered with fleas.
