In a hidden place, Chu Feng stared at the sky, feeling extremely surprised.
Just at that moment, when the thunder was about to strike down, for some unknown reason, the clouds suddenly trembled for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, all the accumulated endless thunder dissipated.
"You don't sense any external force, but you can change the rules of the world and disperse the thunder in an instant. What is the reason for this?"
He kept thinking in his mind, but he had no clue. He couldn't help but glance at Xiao Zi, who stood quietly on his shoulder with the same confused look on his face.
Unlike Chu Feng, at this time, on the altar, the four monks who had narrowly escaped death were all ecstatic.
"The Holy Lord must have taken action." The real old monk Wu was also overjoyed, but he did not forget his mission and continued,
"The black dragon is about to appear, you all should be prepared."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding mountains suddenly began to shake violently. The next moment, a dragon roar was heard coming from the ground, and a dark dragon of luck rose into the sky.
"What a strong evil spirit."
Chu Feng also saw the Black Dragon of Luck, and he couldn't help but frown slightly. This black dragon was a little weird, completely different from the orthodox Golden Dragon of Luck, as if it was born specifically for killing. In comparison, the Golden Dragon of National Luck in Bianjing City of the Song Dynasty
Although it is huge in size, it lacks too much wildness.
At this moment, the black dragon seemed to sense some kind of call, and suddenly turned around and flew away at high speed somewhere in the north.
"Chase……"
On the altar, the old monk Zhen Wu seemed to have anticipated this moment. He stretched out his hand to put away the Bailing flag and shouted loudly. Four escape lights lit up at the same time and chased after the black dragon.
"Master, something happened in Bianjing City." Just when Chu Feng was about to pursue him, Xiao Zi suddenly reminded him.
"What's the matter?"
"The son I left there sent a message that the emperor suddenly passed away not long ago."
"What!" Chu Feng couldn't help but be a little stunned. Shouldn't it be in the first month of next year? How come it's more than two months ahead of schedule?
"Could it be..."
He suddenly thought of the strange heavy snow in Bianjing City, and also thought of the scene where the thunder suddenly dissipated. The emperor passed away, the golden dragon of national luck was unstable, and coincidentally, the black dragon of strange luck was born here. All of this was obviously not isolated.
If the guess is correct, it must have been the Holy Lord who took action.
However, the emperor of the Song Dynasty changed his throne. It was just a change of throne in the human dynasty. Why it changed the laws of heaven and earth and caused the thunder to dissipate was beyond comprehension.
Somehow, he suddenly thought of the purple-gold divine object in Zhao Ji's sea of consciousness, and a suspicion suddenly arose in his heart that the royal family of the Song Dynasty must have a deeper secret.
"Master, do we still want to chase him?"
"I've probably guessed the purpose of their trip, but it's a good idea to follow them and have a look to avoid any mistakes." Chu Feng nodded, and then a flash of purple light shot straight into the sky.
…
One day later, Bianjing.
The light came from the north and fell straight into the street. It was none other than Chu Feng, who was rushing back.
After exploring various Jurchen tribes, especially the Wanyan tribe, there was no point in staying any longer, so they ignored the four monks who were still staying and fled back in time.
At this time, he was very curious about the changes in the Song Dynasty, so he immediately looked towards the direction of the palace as soon as he landed. As far as he could see, the Golden Dragon of National Fortune seemed to have suffered some kind of blow, and seemed a little sluggish. At this time, he was even more trapped.
Half asleep and half awake.
"Sure enough, he took action."
Chu Feng murmured, but in his mind he remembered what the Holy Lord said that day. Due to the existence of a mysterious 'him', there were great restrictions on entering this world, making it difficult for him to make any big moves.
Now it seems that this is not necessarily the case. Maybe the other party has found some loopholes, or maybe the restrictions on this world have weakened. In short, the other party has directly caused damage to the Golden Dragon of the Song Dynasty.
"I don't understand." But at this moment, at the shoulder, Xiao Zi suddenly asked,
"Since the master knows the person who is destined for the black dragon, why doesn't he take action?"
"What do you think?"
Chu Feng did not answer directly, but asked a question.
"Ah." Xiao Zi was stunned and replied with some uncertainty,
"Are you worried about the unknown Holy Lord?"
"It's just one of them." Chu Feng nodded and continued,
"Even if that person is killed in advance now, it still won't be able to prevent the rise of the northern nomads. The only difference is that he is replaced by someone else. Moreover, for us, the war in the world is just a plague of scabies, the real enemy
It’s still the Holy Lord, if we don’t destroy it, no matter how much we do, it will be in vain.”
"However, the Holy Lord is too mysterious and obviously does not belong to the mortal world. To deal with him is simply an extravagant hope given our strength."
Xiao Zi said it a bit euphemistically, it was more than just an extravagant hope, it was simply impossible. In the current aura environment, it is impossible to cultivate to the Taoist realm, let alone become an immortal and ascend to the fairy world.
"We can only take one step at a time and wait and see. Maybe there will be a turn for the better?" Chu Feng was also a little depressed, but he didn't show it. Instead, he changed the topic and said,
"When we arrived, Xiao Li once told me to try my best to seize luck. Therefore, as long as we do this well, we will leave the rest aside for the time being."
As we walked along, we suddenly realized that today's Bianjing city was no longer as noisy as it used to be. The people on both sides of the street were all dressed in plain clothes, with sad expressions. No one said anything except burying their heads in clearing the snow.
Chu Feng suddenly realized that this was the time when the people of the capital were once again keeping their filial piety for Zhe Zong.
Before Huizong, the world was prosperous and stable, so the people had a good feeling for the official family named Zhao. Until Zhao Ji came to power, he was extravagant and extravagant, which made the world miserable and the people were in dire straits. At that time, all the accumulation would be lost bit by bit.
"So, Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji, don't blame me for being cruel. No matter what, it's better than the overthrow of the country and the devastation of the people..."
Chu Feng suddenly looked in the direction of Prince Duan's Mansion, as if he had made some kind of decision, with a murderous look in his eyes.
…
"The master is back."
As soon as Chu Feng returned to the mansion, the sharp-eyed Xiao Liu immediately ran out diligently.
"I've been away for a day. Is there anything unusual in the house?"
"Miss Li next door sent some gifts, but other than that, there is nothing else."
"Gift!"
Chu Feng was slightly surprised. It was not a gift given during the holidays.
He waved his hand to signal the other party to leave, and walked towards the back house alone. He couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart, what would the other party bring?
"I've met the young master."
In the room, Xiaocui was wiping the tables and chairs herself. When she saw Chu Feng, she shouted with joy. When she came in yesterday, she found that the young master was missing. She was worried for a long time.
"Why is it just you?"
After being in seclusion for more than a month, a lot of dust had fallen in the room. However, as far as the eye could see, it had become spotless again. It was obviously that the cleaning was completed during this day.
"After cleaning the house, everyone has left. The maid stayed to see if there was anything missing." Xiao Cui replied softly, paused, and then said,
"By the way, sir, yesterday, Xiaohuan sent some clothes."
As he spoke, he walked somewhere and took out a silk package. After opening it, he saw a robe, a brocade robe, a lower skirt, a belt, etc.
"Young master, I don't know. I heard from Xiaohuan that all these clothes were made by Miss Li herself."
Chu Feng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party sent these things. However, when he heard that Li Qingzhao made it himself, he immediately smiled. In this way, these are not just simple clothes, but also the other party's thoughts.
.
"I remember there is a white fox fur in the warehouse. You can give it to the other party sometime as a return gift."
"Ah, I still want to give it away!"
Xiaocui was a little dumbfounded. Xiaohuan had said before that at the banquet that day, she had received a pair of golden steps from her young master. These clothes were considered a return gift. But she didn't expect to give them again. Wouldn't it be endless to go back and forth like this?
However, what Xiaohuan said is right. My master and Miss Li may have fallen in love, and they may become a family in the future. As a maid, she has to share her master's worries, so how can she hinder the master's wishes?
Chu Feng didn't know what the other party was thinking, so he stopped joking and his expression became serious.
"I want to retreat again. Remember, no one is allowed to enter the room without my order."
"Ah! Yes, my servant will leave now."
Xiaocui was agitated and realized immediately. The young master had to be busy with business, and she couldn't stay any longer. She simply cleaned up and then left.
The room became quiet.
Chu Feng sat cross-legged. The next moment, he flipped his palms, and a half-foot-tall black puppet appeared. The surface of its body was densely engraved with countless unknown runes, which was extremely strange.
"The God-Eating Technique is a secret technique of the Heavenly Demon. I am not proficient in using it. Moreover, it will take place two months earlier than expected. There is no guarantee of success. Therefore, the process needs to be absolutely quiet without any interruption. Xiao Zi,
I leave the matter of protecting the Dharma to you."
"Master, don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can enter the room." Xiao Zi appeared in a flash, hovering in mid-air and assured.
Chu Feng nodded, slowly closed his eyes, and recited an obscure spell in his mouth.
As the mantra was recited, the jet-black puppet suddenly floated into the air, and jet-black auras began to appear on the surface.
What's strange is that the aura seemed to have spirituality. It gathered together very quickly and gradually merged into one. Finally, it formed a blurry figure.
At this moment, Chu Feng opened his eyes again, purple light burst out from his eyes, and he shouted sharply,
"scold……"
In an instant, two rays of purple light suddenly shot out, but instantly turned into two strange purple snakes, swallowing towards the blurry figure.
…
"No……"
In Prince Duan's Mansion, somewhere in a secret room, a scream suddenly rang out, immediately attracting the attention of the guards outside.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
The door of the secret room opened, and a figure ran in quickly, but it was a handsome young man. Looking at Zhao Ji, who was lying on his back and twitching on the ground, his expression was extremely frightened.
He was about to go out and call someone, but at this moment, an arm suddenly stretched out and stopped him.
"I, I, the king, are fine. There is no need to disturb others."
"But, you..."
"I said it's okay, don't you understand?" Zhao Ji's voice suddenly became cold and solemn, which immediately made the young man's heart tremble, and he said tremblingly,
"The villain obeys your orders."
Zhao Ji had stopped twitching, stood up slowly, crossed his legs and closed his eyes, secretly adjusted his breathing for a while, and then said,
"You go to the study and wait for me. I will go there later."
"I'll take my leave, villain."
The boy didn't dare to hesitate and immediately turned around and left cautiously. He didn't see that Zhao Ji behind him opened his eyes again, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
An hour later, Zhao Ji had changed into a brocade robe and walked out of the study. He did not go in immediately, but stood there quietly observing the situation inside.
At this time, the boy was waiting restlessly, his expression changing even more uncertainly, as if he was thinking about something. Seeing this, the coldness in Zhao Ji's eyes became more intense.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you are finally here."
"Hmm." After entering the study, Zhao Ji nodded, sat down behind the desk, and then asked,
"I once said that no one was allowed to disturb me during the retreat. Why did you suddenly appear in the secret room?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I sent an urgent message to the Queen Mother suddenly, saying that I must let you see it immediately. I didn't dare to delay, so I disobeyed the order."
With that said, the boy took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over respectfully.
Zhao Ji frowned. After receiving the letter, he opened it and read it carefully. After a while, he suddenly fell into deep thought.
"Your Majesty, the other highnesses are active, how should we deal with them?"
"Huh?" Zhao Ji suddenly raised his head and looked at the other party with cold eyes.
"Have you read the contents of the letter?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, you..."
The young man was startled by the sudden cold gaze. Because of his special status, it was normal for him to check the correspondence with the palace. There was nothing out of the ordinary. How could he make the prince so angry?
"How long have you been following this king?" Zhao Ji suddenly asked, his eyes flashing slightly.
"Three...three years."
The handsome young man responded tremblingly, and his brain was spinning rapidly. How did he offend the prince? It seems that since he returned from the Chu Mansion that day, the prince's character began to change. In addition to not interrupting his activities with the Queen Mother in the palace,
The rest of the time is spent in retreat and practice.
"Three years is not a short time." Zhao Ji suddenly smiled and said
"You know too much about my secrets. What if, I mean what if, one day in the future, you reveal these secrets?"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life." The young man was obviously very smart. He immediately thought of some possibility and fell to his knees with a plop.
"In three years, if it were not for the favor of the prince, how could the villain be where he is today. The villain swears to God that he will be loyal to the prince in this life. If there is any betrayal, he will be struck by thunder from the sky and never be reincarnated."
"Thunder..." Zhao Ji looked up at the sky and sneered,
"The sky thunder is indeed powerful, but unfortunately, it sometimes disperses for no apparent reason. Therefore, I cannot trust it."
"ah!"
The boy was obviously confused and didn't understand what the prince was talking about. He had made such a vicious oath. Could it be that he couldn't reassure the prince?
It's been three years. Could it be that those beautiful relationships were all an illusion, and now they have turned against each other because of a trivial matter?
Unfortunately, there was no chance for him to continue thinking. In his eyes, he saw the other party suddenly waved his arm, and a purple light flashed past, but his vision went black and he lost consciousness.
"Someone is coming..."
Zhao Ji calmly retracted his arm and shouted. Soon, two guards in armor walked in.
"See you, Your Majesty."
"He had an emergency and died suddenly. He was carried out and found a place to bury him properly."
The two guards had already clearly seen the appearance of the unconscious man, and their hearts trembled. Isn't this the prince's most beloved one? Why did he die suddenly?
As expected, being with a king is like being with a tiger, even the prince is no exception.
Of course, now is not the time to think about this, so he immediately replied respectfully:
"I obey my orders."
After the guards left, Zhao Ji opened the secret letter again and looked at the contents with a gloomy expression.
