Li Xiansong looked at the book in his hand, his expression changed, and his eyes showed shock.
Especially his hands were trembling slightly, as if he was afraid.
"Brother Li, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Cheng walked over and didn't understand what the other party saw.
Wang Chong also looked puzzled. He was fine just now, but what happened now.
"Something big has happened." Li Xiansong stood up, his eyes a little panicked: "There is something wrong with the stone tablet we saw in Yuhua Mountain. I searched many books and found that the formation pattern engraved on it is very similar to an ancient formation.
, No, it’s not similar, it’s exactly the same.”
His tone at this moment was very solemn, and then he compared it with the records in the book again. His heart sank and his face turned pale.
This scene made the two of them look at each other immediately. Isn't it just a formation? Why did Brother Li do this?
Lin Cheng couldn't help but ask directly: "What kind of formation is it?"
"According to the records in the book, what is engraved on that stone tablet is a formation called the Heaven Sealing Demonic Array." Li Xiansong swallowed, knowing that the two of them did not understand, and then explained again: "This formation came from the Heavenly Saint
The religion once turned several cities into ruins thousands of years ago. It was very terrifying, and the true origin of the Heaven-Sealing Demonic Array is very complicated. It is recorded in the book that it was created by demons from Beizhou."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two people present could not help but change drastically, and there was even more incredible look in their eyes.
Although the followers of the Tiansheng Sect are human beings, their whereabouts are secretive and their methods are extremely cruel. Therefore, they are defined as demon sects by the major immortal sects. All monks, whether from sects, aristocratic families or casual cultivators, will definitely kill them with all their strength upon seeing them.
Of.
The reason is also very simple, that is, the Tiansheng Sect respects the demons of Beizhou and believes that the human race will eventually be replaced by demons.
In other words, he is a traitor among the human monks.
When the Battle of Boundary Sea broke out, it was because the Heavenly Saint Sect led the way and hindered it, causing the human race to expel the demons at a huge cost. However, the Heavenly Saint Sect was not destroyed because of this, and was still hidden in the world, but it was not there for a long time.
appeared.
But even so, the major sects and the Zhou Dynasty have been looking for traces of the Tiansheng Sect.
Therefore, as long as it is related to it, it is basically a major event in the world.
The two people in the Sealing Demonic Array don't know what it is.
But the Tiansheng Sect is different. Not only them, but all the monks in the world understand the meaning of these three words, especially Li Xiansong who said that the true origin of that formation is the Beizhou Demon.
Both Lin Cheng and Wang Chong were panicked. They had never seen the demon before, but they knew from beginning to end that it was the enemy of the human race.
"How is this possible? Hasn't the Heavenly Holy Sect not appeared for hundreds of years? And haven't the demons always been in Beizhou? How come the formation was deployed in the Qingyun Mountains? Could you have read it wrong?
"Lin Cheng spoke, with a look of disbelief on his face, feeling that he had heard wrongly.
Demons have always been a very distant existence to him. Lin Cheng never thought that he would come into contact with demons one day. After all, he was just a little foundation-building monk.
"You can't be mistaken. It's very clearly recorded on it."
Li Xiansong also hoped that he was wrong, but the facts were right in front of him and he had to admit it.
"Brother Lin, what should we do next?"
Wang Chong didn't know what to say. As a monk, he certainly knew what it meant. Regardless of whether it was the Heavenly Saint Sect or the demons, anything related to it was something that a casual cultivator like himself could not handle. The difference was too big.
"Go tell Fellow Daoist Song!"
"Fellow Daoist Song comes from a noble sect, so he will definitely have some ideas."
Lin Cheng thought of the possible forces behind Song Zhishu and made a decision immediately, because the three of them were just casual cultivators and could not do much. Although Song Zhishu was nothing in front of the Tiansheng Sect and demons, as long as he could inform the sects of the aristocratic families behind him,
That’s it.
And that's all they can do, otherwise what can they do? Deal with it themselves?
"Okay, without further ado, let's go now."
Li Xiansong nodded immediately, thinking that this was a way. Especially thinking of the records about the Heaven Sealing Demonic Formation in the book, he knew that he could not delay it any longer. Although what he saw now was only a corner of the formation, who could be sure that there was only one stone tablet?
Immediately, the three of them walked out of the room without hesitation.
At the same time.
Song Zhishu sat cross-legged in the room with his eyes closed.
The whole body is surrounded by extremely rich spiritual energy from heaven and earth, which is constantly pouring into the body.
In the spiritual pool, the water turned into mana kept rolling, and it had reached its limit. This also meant that he could find a way to break through the late stage of foundation building.
"The white lotus transformed by Confucian righteousness has only one leaf blooming now. If there is a chance in the future, all nine leaves can bloom. In this way, we will have nine times of my own mana storage, and it will become my most powerful one by then.
A trump card."
Song Zhishu looked at the white lotus in the spiritual pool and thought in his mind that it is very important for monks to have strong mana. Just like dealing with the leader of the fire-marked monkey, although he spent nearly half of his mana, he had the reserve of white lotus, which was not a big deal to him.
What, even if you encounter two or three demonic beasts of equal strength, you don't have to be afraid.
This is the benefit of strong mana, which can support a longer battle.
Then Song Zhishu stopped meditating, dispersed the spiritual energy around him, and then opened his eyes.
Now that I have almost accumulated enough, I can choose to attack the later stage of foundation building. Because with the support of the soul, I can easily succeed as long as there are enough elixirs, but I can't keep up with my physical fitness.
"Ordinary monks need to practice physical training by supplementing various physical training elixirs, or even looking for special physical training techniques, and then work hard year after year. But I think it's not that troublesome and can be done at any time."
While Song Zhishu was thinking, he took out the Sky Thunder Bottle from the storage bag. The Sky Thunder Bottle is a top-grade pure Yang magic weapon and a top-grade magic weapon. When it is injected with mana, it can release thunder. This thunder can not only be used to kill demons, but also
Tempering the physical body is more suitable for me now than any elixir or body training method.
The only drawback is that the quality is not enough, and the thunder released is not strong enough. The quality must be improved.
"Forget it, just push your body to the middle stage of foundation building. The current Heavenly Thunder Bottle will also do it. It just takes a little longer and the quality will not be improved for the time being." Song Zhishu shook his head. The promotion of the Heavenly Thunder Bottle also requires use.
To Haoran Zhengqi, but now he only has more than thirty skills in total, and they need to be used in all aspects. Using it to upgrade the Sky Thunder Bottle to a spiritual weapon is not feasible for the time being.
So what Song Zhishu is facing now is still the same problem, Lingshi and Haoran Zhengqi.
I made a fortune from the spirit stone before, which is enough for the time being, but it is a bit difficult to obtain more Haoran righteousness in a short period of time, and only ten Confucian righteousness can be condensed into one Haoran righteousness.
Therefore, he planned to improve his strength first, and then do more demon-killing tasks with Lin Cheng and others to gain more awe-inspiring righteousness.
The next step is to go to Wanshi Pavilion to buy elixirs.
"Is Fellow Daoist Song here?"
But just when Song Zhishu was about to get up and go to Wanshi Pavilion, there was a sudden knock on the door. It was Lin Cheng and others.
"Did you find out the origin of that stone tablet?" Song Zhishu's eyes moved slightly and he immediately went to open the door.
"Fellow Daoist Song, something big may happen."
Li Xiansong spoke directly, looking a little panicked, as did the other two.
"Something happened?"
Song Zhishu frowned slightly, then turned sideways: "Three fellow Taoists, please come first."
With that said, the three of them walked into the room. Before they had time to sit down, Li Xiansong informed them of everything he had found, and explained the origins and dangers of the Heaven-Sealing Demonic Array.
Because he knew that the matter was of great importance, the sooner he could tell it, the better, and it would also allow Song Zhishu to think of a solution.
"The Heaven-Sealing Demonic Array? Is it related to the Heavenly Saint Sect and Beizhou Demons?"
When Song Zhishu heard Li Xiansong's words, his eyes became solemn.
As early as the time of the Taihao Sword Sect, Mr. Gu Yun had said that the monsters in Beizhou were becoming more and more powerful, and the disaster had spread and would endanger the world. I thought that this kind of thing was still far away from me for the time being, but I didn't expect that it had just appeared.
Jian Zong met him soon.
Still in the Qingyun Mountains, so close.
As for the affairs of the Tiansheng Sect, Song Zhishu also knew that he was a member of the human race, but his heart was devoted to demons, and he did not hesitate to serve as a guide, triggering various wars, and his deeds were so bad that every monk in the world would kill him.
He once understood that whenever the Heavenly Holy Sect appears, it will be accompanied by demons and will bring a series of disasters to the world.
"No wonder my great righteousness reacted to the aura of that stone tablet. It turns out it has something to do with demons."
Song Zhishu looked solemn. He and Chen Jingzhou had both felt that Confucian power had a very strong reaction to demons, but he did not expect that demonic things would appear in Qingzhou City, and it was suspected that a terrifying formation was being arranged.
It should be noted that the distance between Qingzhou City and Taihao Sword Sect is only more than 12,000 miles. The distance is very close, and a strong person can reach it in an instant.
If the Tiansheng Sect and the demons dare to act here, aren't they afraid of offending the Taihao Sword Sect?
Or is this their original purpose?
"Fellow Daoist Song, the relationship between demons and the Tiansheng Sect is very important. The three of us are casual cultivators. We are soft-spoken and weak-minded. Friend Daoist Song, what do you think we should do next?" Lin Cheng also spoke, and there was some nervousness in his words. After all, the demons
Different from ordinary monsters.
If they really set up a formation or were planning something, it would be a disaster for them and they would have no room to resist.
Especially the Qingyun Mountain Range is so close to Qingzhou City. Even if you want to escape, where can you escape to?
Especially demons and monsters are the greatest enemies of the human race.
As monks, Lin Cheng and others also felt obliged to report the matter.
At this moment, after Song Zhishu heard the inquiry, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment before choosing to speak: "The matter of demons is too important, we will definitely not be able to handle it, and since it happened in the Qingyun Mountains, we have to inform you for now.
The lord of Qingzhou City, he is in charge of a city, he must know the importance of the matter."
In fact, Song Zhishu can also return to the Taihao Sword Sect. With his current reputation in the Sword Sect, it is nothing to face the elders directly.
But this would take too much time. Who knows how advanced the so-called Heaven-Sealing Demonic Array is?
What if the best opportunity to respond is missed and a catastrophe is caused?
The Lord of Qingyun City is a Golden Core Realm monk and is very powerful, so informing the other party is the best choice. This way, it can be dealt with in the shortest possible time to prevent possible disasters.
"That's right, go report it to the Lord of Qingzhou City, he will definitely not let it go."
Lin Cheng nodded immediately after hearing this. Although they knew that Song Zhishu might be from a sect of aristocratic family, the coming and going would probably waste a lot of time. The best option now is to inform the Qingzhou City Lord and let a more powerful person deal with it.
"But what if the Lord of Qingzhou City doesn't see us?"
Wang Chong couldn't help but speak, slightly worried.
The lord of Qingzhou City is in charge of a city, and his strength and status are the highest in the entire Qingzhou City.
Among the people present, the strongest ones are only in the Foundation Establishment Realm, and they are basically all casual cultivators. How can they get into the eyes of the Golden Core Realm monks? And even if they can enter the City Lord's Mansion, will the Qingzhou City Lord believe their words?
Suddenly, Lin Cheng and others fell silent. This statement was indeed correct. With their status, they would definitely not be able to see the Lord of Qingzhou City.
If they can't see him, it means that the matter will be difficult to handle, so there is no point in them going to the city lord's mansion.
"It's about monsters. Regardless of whether we can see them or not, we have to try. Let's go."
However, Song Zhishu shook his head slightly and said that the news must be brought to him.
Because he knew that no monk in the world would not care about monsters, and as long as he met the Lord of Qingzhou and told him about monsters, he would definitely take it seriously.
If he really can't see it by then, he still has a token given by the Taihao Sword Sect in his hand.
In fact, Song Zhishu felt that since he had chosen to leave, he should no longer use the name of Jianzong.
But the problem is that this is not an ordinary event, but a monster. If a tragedy occurs because of this, it would be putting the cart before the horse.
"Okay, that's it. Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion together now."
Lin Cheng also agreed with Song Zhishu's words and believed that he should try whatever he could.
The other two people had no objections to this and nodded in agreement.
Immediately afterwards.
The four people left the room and walked out of Yunlingzhai.
But before he could get far, he found Chen Jingyun coming towards him.
"Mr. Song, three fellow Taoists? Are you ready to go out?" Chen Jingyun walked forward and spoke. He was originally going to discuss some issues related to Confucianism with Song Zhishu, but when he saw the four of them leaving the inn together, he couldn't help but ask questions.
.
Is it possible that he took on some new mission in Wanshi Pavilion and didn't ask himself to succeed?
With his thoughts at this point, Chen Jingyun was immediately ready to say something.
"It's something big. Mr. Chen, do you still remember the stone tablet we saw at Yunhua Mountain last time?" Lin Cheng spoke up, not wanting to hide it. After all, the five people present had experienced this together.
"Remember, what happened?" Chen Jingyun became more and more confused. Isn't this all in the past?
"That's it, Mr. Chen."
Li Xiansong walked forward and spoke, telling him everything about the Heaven-Sealing Demonic Array and his discovery. Because he knew more, he could naturally explain it more clearly.
"What? Is that stone tablet left by a demon?"
When Chen Jingyun heard the explanation, he was immediately shocked, and his expression became extremely solemn.
No wonder I felt disgusted by the smell of the stone tablet at that time.
At this moment, he completely understood that the power of Confucianism is inherently opposed to demons. He was still wondering what was going on before, but after learning the origin of the stone tablet from Lin Cheng's mouth, he immediately knew the reason.
In the troubled times of demons and monsters in Beizhou, countless tragedies will happen in the world every time, and Chen Jingyun also knows the seriousness of it.
If one thing is not done well, it will lead to huge disaster.
"yes."
Wang Chong opened his mouth and continued to explain: "So a few of us plan to go to the City Lord's Mansion to report this matter to the City Lord and ask the City Lord to make a decision."
Chen Jingyun was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then couldn't help but shook his head: "But that's the City Lord's Mansion. You can enter wherever you want. I'm afraid you will be stopped before you get close. Besides, I heard that the Qingzhou City Lord recently
I am very busy and have to deal with a lot of things. The demon thing is indeed important, but you have to make the person who notified you believe it."
The meaning of his words is very simple, that is, the status and strength of the few people present are too low, how can people believe what they say?
Besides, it's impossible that anyone who says they discovered a demon can go see the city lord, right? That would be too casual.
Besides, the true origin of that formation has not yet been completely determined. Li Xiansong only found records in books. Is there any real evidence?
"Mr. Chen, what do you think we should do?"
Lin Cheng spoke with a somewhat ugly look on his face. Wang Chong had reminded them before, but they felt that the matter was too big and the city lord would not sit idly by. But now that Chen Jingyun had said so, they had to consider it.
Indeed, the lord of Qingzhou City has an extraordinary status and manages everything every day. It is difficult for ordinary alchemy monks to see him, let alone these foundation-building monks?
"I'll go with you."
Chen Jingyun showed a smile, looked at the crowd and said: "I am a gentleman from Qingzhou Academy. I have also met City Lord Qiu. I believe that entering the City Lord's Mansion will not be a problem at all."
As for demons, as long as it makes sense, the Qingzhou City Lord will definitely take it seriously. The key lies in how to enter the City Lord's Mansion.
As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with. This is the truth.
"With Mr. Chen together, there will definitely be no problem."
After Lin Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.
He knew that Song Zhishu might have come from a certain aristocratic sect, but the key was that he was an outsider. He had only come to Qingzhou City not long ago, and it would definitely be difficult to enter directly. But Chen Jingyun was different. With the status of Mr. Academy, how much would a monk in the Danjie Realm have to pay?
Divide into thin noodles.
Song Zhishu naturally had no objection to this. It would definitely be best to have other ways to meet the Lord of Qingzhou City.
After a brief discussion, everyone left together without stopping.
The City Lord's Mansion is located in the core of Qingzhou City.
Everything in the city must be under the unified management of the city lord. Even if something happens, all forces in the city and all the casual cultivators can be mobilized. Therefore, the power of the city lord is quite large, and it is not something you can see just by thinking about it.
About an hour later.
The city lord's palace is extremely tall, towering over all buildings in the city.
Even standing outside, you can see various pavilions and pavilions inside, giving it a sense of majesty.
At this moment, at the door of the city lord's mansion, five people stood side by side, including Song Zhishu and others.
In front of everyone was a guard from the City Lord's Mansion.
His cultivation level is around the fifth level of Qi training.
"Brother, we have something important to report to the city lord. Please make it easy for me to wait in." Lin Cheng walked over and explained the purpose of their visit, but he did not say that the matter concerned the demon.
I think it would be better to explain it to the city lord in person.
Because everything is a judgment made by Li Xiansong and others based on book records, Lin Cheng is not sure yet whether there are real demons or the shadow of the Tiansheng Sect, so he can only say this.
"How many of you have famous posts?"
The guard looked at the crowd and spoke, and there was no contempt in his words.
"No." Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"That being the case, if you have any major issues, how about you tell me first, and then I can report back to the Lord of the City?"
As expected, the guards did not choose to let no one in. After all, there were many people who wanted to see the city lord every day, so it was impossible to let them all in. In this way, the city lord would not have to practice and deal with things, but just meet the monks.
But he didn't choose to make things difficult, he just acted according to the rules.
As a bodyguard, there is only so much you can do.
"Brother."
At this moment, Chen Jingyun stepped forward with a smile on his face and bowed slightly: "I am Chen Jingyun from Qingzhou Academy. This is my identity arrow. We really have something important to report to City Lord Qiu."
After finishing speaking, he took out the arrow of his identity as a member of Qingzhou Academy and presented it in front of the other party.
Compared with Qi training or even foundation-building monks, the identity of a Confucian scholar is obviously more important.
"It turns out to be Mr. Chen."
The guard took the identity token and bowed immediately after confirming that it was correct, but soon spoke again: "Please forgive me, Mr. Chen, the Lord of the City is meeting with several important guests in the lobby today. He is really busy and I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time.
Mr. Chen, what do you think about coming back tomorrow?"
Regarding the gentleman from Qingzhou Academy and the Confucian scholar who entered the country, the guard's attitude was indeed different. He did not refuse directly. At the same time, he said that the Lord of the City was indeed busy and explained.
When Chen Jingyun heard this, he couldn't help but frowned: "I'd better trouble my brother to inform me. We can wait outside for a while."
He also felt that the matter of the Sealing Demonic Array should not be delayed, and he had to meet it once today no matter what.
After all, it has been several days since I returned from the Qingyun Mountains.
If it is true as Li Xiansong said.
The longer the delay, the greater the probability of something going wrong.
"Mr. Chen, please don't embarrass me. I'm just a small guard. If I break in rashly, I can't afford to be blamed by the city lord." The guard also showed a wry smile. He was serving in the city lord's palace, but he was so dismissive.
, How dare you go directly to report?
Chen Jingyun fell silent, knowing that what the other party said was right, and the guard had already given him a lot of face.
Is it really destined not to see the city lord today?
But I have promised it before.
"Mr. Chen."
At this time, Lin Cheng spoke, walked over and whispered: "How about telling us what we discovered. With your identity, the guard will definitely believe it."
Wang Chong and Li Xiansong also nodded slightly, thinking that it would be good to explain the matter clearly.
"No." Chen Jingyun shook his head: "The problem now is that City Lord Qiu is receiving guests. He is just a guard. Even if he believes us, he dare not report it directly. My opinion is to postpone it for another day. Today City Lord Qiu may really
Something happened."
He understood that the problem was not with the demons, nor with what they said, but with the fact that Lord Qingyun really didn't have time right now.
Therefore, Chen Jingyun felt that it might be better if he came tomorrow.
This sentence made Lin Cheng silent.
"Forget it, I'll give it a try." Song Zhishu said, then walked towards the guard.
"Fellow Daoist Song."
"Mr. Song."
When Chen Jingyun and others saw this, they were about to say something to stop it.
But he saw Song Zhishu walking up to the guard, bowing slightly, taking something out of his sleeves and handing it to the guard, and then said: "Brother, I know your difficulties, but we are really in a hurry, please be accommodating."
Just give it a try."
The guard couldn't help but frown when he heard this, but when he saw what Song Zhishu took out, his expression suddenly changed.
Maybe he didn't recognize the others, but the word "Tai Hao" on the token was very clear.
Even after getting it, the guard's hands couldn't help but tremble slightly: "Wait a moment, I. I'll report it right away."
After saying that, he bowed respectfully to Zhishu Song, and then rushed towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion without looking back. He was so fast that no one was there in an instant.
What does the word ‘Taihao’ mean?
It is one of the three major sword sects in the world.
In particular, Qingzhou City was the city closest to Taihao, so it was greatly affected.
This amount is much heavier than Mr. Qingzhou Academy.
"Mr. Song, what did you just give to the guard?"
Chen Jingyun was shocked. He did not expect that as soon as the other party made a move, the guard would not hesitate and directly choose to inform the city lord. For a while, he became more curious about the identity of Song Zhishu. He was a Confucian scholar and had a mysterious identity.
Lin Cheng and the others also looked at each other in disbelief. They felt that the attitude of the guard before and after was very different.
They knew that Song Zhishu might have come from a certain aristocratic family, but what kind of power was behind him?
If it was just ordinary, the guards would definitely not behave like this.
"Let's just consider it as a token."
Song Zhishu thought for a moment and smiled. He really didn't expect the Taihao Sword Token to be so useful, and at the same time he didn't take it completely to heart. After all, he just wanted to solve this matter as soon as possible.
at the same time.
There were more than ten people sitting in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion.
The leader was a middle-aged man, tall and tall, dressed in a luxurious robe, who looked calm and intimidating.
The middle-aged man looked at everyone present and said solemnly: "I have already told you about the situation. Now that something happened in Jinzhou, all parties are paying attention. Although it is not big, it must be paid attention to, and the elder of Taihao Sword Sect is paying attention.
Ge Daozi has called on all forces in the world to pay close attention. You are all prominent figures in our Qingzhou City. I hope you can also contribute to this."
"What City Lord Qiu said is that the demon incident concerns the human race, and besides, Changge Daozi has spoken out, so naturally we can't just sit idly by and ignore it,"
An old man stood up and expressed his attitude. He was the master of Wanshi Pavilion in Qingzhou City, and his status was second only to the Lord of Qingzhou City.
The rest of the people also bowed one by one and said that as long as they could help, they would definitely choose to take action.
As Master Wanshi Pavilion said, the demon incident is too big, and the human monks must work together to solve it. Moreover, this time it also involves Jinzhou, the hinterland of the Zhou Dynasty, and no one can ignore it.
"Okay, thank you all."
"That's all for today. Since everything has been settled, I won't leave you any more."
After receiving the reply, Qingyun City Lord Qiu Qianhe stood up and slightly cupped his hands.
Everyone returned the favor one after another, and then chose to leave one by one.
Soon, only Qiu Qianhe was left in the lobby. He looked in the direction where everyone was leaving, lost in thought, and muttered to himself: "How could it be Jinzhou?"
"Lord City Lord."
At this time, the guard who was outside the door came in. After saluting, he said directly: "There are several monks outside who said they have something important to report to you."
"Forget it, I have something else to do, so I will disappear for now. You can let them go back first."
Qiu Qianhe sat down and rubbed his brows. There were too many things to deal with recently. Even as a major Jindan cultivator, he couldn't help but feel a headache, so he didn't want to see him for the time being.
"But City Lord, someone took out this thing."
The guard spoke, and then handed over the Taihao Sword Token given to him by Song Zhishu.
"Taihao Sword Order?"
Seeing the token, Qiu Qianhe's eyes suddenly moved slightly, and then he took it and looked at it carefully. After confirming that it was the Taihao Sword Token, he immediately said: "Quick, invite them in."
This is the Taihao Sword Order. It has a different meaning. It is basically equivalent to an inner sect elder of the Taihao Sword Sect.
Although the person who can take out this object is not a disciple of Taihao Sword Sect, he is still someone who attaches great importance to it.
Even as the lord of Qingzhou City, he cannot neglect it.
"Yes, Lord City Lord."
The guards got the order and went down quickly.
Soon after.
Song Zhishu and others were brought into the city lord's mansion. Chen Jingyun was fine because he had been here before, but Lin Cheng and the others seemed a little cautious. There were various pavilions, pavilions, rockeries and flowing water, and the outer gate must be even more beautiful after entering.
The rich aura of heaven and earth surprised a few people and made them cautious. After all, this is the Qingzhou City Lord's Mansion. With their status, if it weren't for special circumstances, they might not be able to enter in their lifetime.
Soon, under the leadership of the guards, the five people walked into the lobby of the city lord's mansion.
I saw a middle-aged man inside, with a strong aura, and even though he was standing there, he always exuded the majesty of a superior.
Lin Cheng and others knew that this was the City Lord of Qingzhou City. They all lowered their heads and quickly bowed and said, "Juniors have met the City Lord."
Song Zhishu and Chen Jingyun also bowed their hands with great etiquette.
Qiu Qianhe didn't say anything. He glanced at the five people present with his eyes like a torch, and finally locked on Song Zhishu. He took out the Taihao Sword Token and said, "This thing must belong to this little friend, right?"
What kind of person is the Lord of Qingzhou City? He is a great man who has been practicing Buddhism for hundreds of years and has extremely broad knowledge.
You can tell who the Taihao Sword Order belongs to from the attitudes of the five people in front of you.
Because Lin Cheng and the others were so trembling when they saw each other that they didn't even dare to raise their heads. The scholar next to him might be a little better, but he wasn't that far behind. Only Song Zhishu's eyes did not change at all.
Therefore, Qiu Qianhe recognized at a glance who the person who took out the Taihao Sword Token was.
However, his words shocked Lin Cheng and others again.
Why does City Lord Qiu call you Daoist Song?
Little friend?
Could it be that Fellow Daoist Song and City Lord Qiu knew each other before?
"Reporting to the city lord, it is this junior." Song Zhishu was not surprised by this and bowed again.
"That's right." Qiu Qianhe looked at Song Zhishu's neither humble nor arrogant appearance, nodded and continued: "My little friend has a calm demeanor, and he is indeed a person who can possess the Taihao Sword Token. I dare to ask my name."
There are actually many people in the world who can obtain the Taihao Sword Token, and Qiu Qianhe has heard of some of them.
But he is the first one to be so young like me, so I want to know the other person’s true identity.
As soon as these words came out.
The other people in the lobby were even more shocked.
And what does the Taihao Sword Token mean? Is it the thing that Fellow Daoist Song took out just now?
The three of them couldn't help it anymore, but they didn't dare to speak. They just lowered their heads. Only Chen Jingyun looked surprised and looked at Song Zhishu, wondering what he was thinking.
"Reporting to the city lord, junior Zhishu Song." Zhishu Song answered truthfully, knowing clearly in his heart that after naming his name, the other party would guess his identity.
"Zhishu Song?"
Qiu Qianhe's eyes moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of what happened to the Taihao Sword Sect some time ago.
It seems to have been caused by a person named Song Zhishu.
Moreover, that person also quit the Taihao Sword Sect.
Even Headmaster Taihao personally tried to persuade him to stay, but it was of no use and he still left.
But he didn't expect that the other party would actually come to Qingzhou City and stand in front of him in this way.
Qiu Qianhe happily confirmed the identity of Governor Song, but did not say it clearly. He just looked at Governor Song, and after a long time, he motioned for everyone to sit down, and at the same time said, "I wonder if little friend Song has anything to tell me? I have to come to the City Lord's Mansion specially."
Lin Cheng and others sat down cautiously, but after hearing Qiu Qianhe's words, they couldn't help being shocked because the city lord's tone was very polite.
They couldn't help but look at Zhishu Song, and they even speculated about the identity of this fellow Taoist Song.
"It's difficult for junior to explain, so let's let junior's friends do the talking."
Song Zhishu shook his head. He didn't know much about the formation. He immediately motioned to Li Xian to let go and let the other party explain.
"Yes." Li Xiansong stood up immediately, bowing and not daring to hide anything. He told the stone tablet in Yuhua Mountain and the records in the book. However, because he was facing the Lord of Qingzhou City, his tone
Somewhat panicked.
Then he took out the book that recorded the Heaven Sealing Demonic Array and the recorded information on the stone tablet.
After all, he is just a qi-training monk, and has never had much contact with the realm of alchemy, let alone the realm of golden elixir, or the lord of Qingzhou City?
"What? The Heaven-Sealing Demonic Array? Was it discovered in the Qingyun Mountains?"
And when Qiu Qianhe heard Li Xiansong's words, he stood up directly, with a look of astonishment in his eyes. If it were anyone else, he would hesitate and ask clearly, but now it was Song Zhishu who brought people here, so it was different.
.
With his thoughts at this point, Qiu Qianhe took the two things, frowned, and then said again: "Come here, please invite Master Mo."
"Yes." Outside the lobby, a guard responded quickly after hearing this, and then left.
"Master Mo is a third-level low-grade formation mage. He is a guest invited by my city lord's palace."
Qiu Qianhe thought about Song Zhishu's explanation.
After all, he didn't know much about the formation and needed someone to verify it.
Song Zhishu also understood what the Lord of Qingzhou City meant. After all, the Heaven Sealing Demonic Formation was of great importance and must be treated with caution.
And those who can be called masters must at least reach the third level in cultivating immortals and hundreds of arts. It is naturally not a problem for such a person to be a guest in the city lord's palace.
Not long.
An old man in black robe walked in. The ancestor looked calm, his beard and hair were all white, and his cultivation level was in the Dan Formation realm.
Song Zhishu and others did not hesitate and immediately bowed to greet him.
"Brother Mo, take a look at this thing. It seems to be the Heaven Sealing Demonic Array. Please check it out, Brother Mo." City Lord Qiu immediately stepped forward and took out the information recorded by Li Xiansong with a solemn tone.
"Sealing the Heaven Demonic Array?"
When Master Mo heard this, he was stunned and started checking directly.
He didn't speak, and the hall fell into silence.
Li Xiansong felt anxious, fearing that he had seen it wrong.
As time went by, everyone noticed that Master Mo's face became more and more solemn, a little gloomy.
"That's right, Brother Qiu, this is the Heaven-Sealing Demonic Array. Where did you find it? Is it Jinzhou again?" After a long time, Master Mo spoke in a hoarse tone, confirming that it was the Heaven-Sealing Demonic Array.
"It's not Jinzhou, it's our Qingzhou. To be precise, it's the Qingyun Mountains."
Qiu Qianhe spoke solemnly and spoke slowly. Most of the Qingyun Mountains belong to the territory of Qingzhou, so it is correct to say that the Sealing Demonic Array appeared in Qingzhou.
"How is it possible? Aren't things happening in Jinzhou all the time recently?" Master Mo was also shocked. He also knew that there were demons in Jinzhou, and wanted to see it, but he didn't have time, but now the Heaven-Sealing Demon Array also appeared in Qingzhou.
"Brother Mo, please allow me to explain the specific situation later."
Qiu Qianhe also shook his head in confusion, then looked at Song Zhishu and others to confirm again: "Song Xiaoyou, are you sure this thing was found in Yuhua Mountain in Qingyun Mountains?"
"Yes, we saw it with our own eyes, otherwise we wouldn't have come to bother you, Lord City Lord."
Song Zhishu spoke, and Lin Cheng and others nodded.
"good."
Qiu Qianhe took a deep breath and continued: "I will immediately send people to investigate, and at the same time send the city's law enforcement team to patrol the surrounding areas. Since it is the Sealing Demon Array, it must be more than just a formation stone."
To form a formation, especially such a large formation, it is impossible to activate it without hundreds of formation stones.
So he had to send someone to confirm, because the matter was really big.
"Lord City Lord, do you need us to do anything?"
Song Zhishu spoke again. Since it was confirmed that it was related to demons, he must not sit idly by and ignore it.
"It's okay, little friend Song, you guys need to rest first. As for this matter, I would like to ask little friend Song not to spread the word about it for the time being." Qiu Qianhe said, the incident happened in Qingzhou, so he naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it, and as the city lord, he was definitely not lacking.
manpower.
The reason for not spreading the news is also very simple. I am afraid it will cause a disturbance. At least wait until everything is arranged.
"Junior understands."
Song Zhishu nodded, knowing what the other party meant, and then bowed again: "If the Lord of the City has no other instructions, can we say goodbye first?"
This matter has attracted the attention of the Qingzhou City Lord. Even if the goal is achieved, there is no point in staying.
"not busy."
Qiu Qianhe smiled and looked at Zhishu Song: "If Mr. Song doesn't mind, you can stay in the City Lord's Mansion temporarily. Maybe there will be some specific situations in the future that I need to know from you."
He was very curious about Song Zhishu. It was not easy for him to be retained by Master Taihao personally and to be appreciated by the great Confucian.
Qiu Qianhe also wanted to make friends. As for understanding the so-called situation, it was naturally just an excuse.
But these words made Lin Cheng and others unable to bear it even more, and their scalps were numb.
The Lord of the City actually asked them to live in the City Lord's Mansion?
What kind of treatment is this?
Is it something you can enjoy yourself?
Of course, several people knew in their hearts that everything happened because of Song Zhishu.
"Junior, thank you City Lord for your kindness. However, we all have a place to live. City Lord does not need to behave. Besides, you have many things to do, and it is really inconvenient for us to disturb you. Please forgive me." Song Zhishu also knew what the other party was thinking, and felt that
There is absolutely no need to stay, since I won't leave for the time being anyway.
"That's fine."
Qiu Qianhe didn't try to persuade him to stay. Since Song Zhishu was in Qingzhou City, it didn't matter whether he stayed in the city lord's mansion or not. After a pause, he spoke again: "Come here, send some friends out."
"Thank you, Lord City Lord."
Song Zhishu bowed again and led Lin Cheng and others out of the lobby.
Then, led by several guards, they left the city lord's mansion.
And along the way, whether it was Lin Cheng, Wang Chong or Li Xiansong, they were all dizzy, because this was the first time they had enjoyed such treatment, and it was in the city lord's palace that a strong man in the Golden Core Realm had been treated from beginning to end.
Treat each other with courtesy
This was something the three of them had never thought of, not even in their dreams. They finally realized it after leaving the city lord's mansion.
Song Zhishu could roughly guess what a few people were thinking, but he didn't speak, after all, he couldn't explain it clearly in a few words.
But at this moment, Chen Jingyun, who had been silent from beginning to end, suddenly walked up to several people.
He looked at Zhishu Song, his eyes blazing, and then without any hesitation, he bowed directly, actually held a Confucian disciple's ceremony, and said solemnly: "Confucian disciple, student Chen Jingyun, has met Mr. Song!"
