"I have met the master." After opening the treasure temple, the young novice entered a Zen room and bowed respectfully to the old monk in front of him.
"What's the matter?"
"Master, there has just been news from outside that many guests came to the house of the man named Chu. They all seem to be Maoshan Taoist priests."
"Oh!" The real old monk Wu's eyes flashed with black light, and he was slightly uncontrollably excited.
"Is the news confirmed?"
"It has been spread all over Bianjing City, and many people have seen it with their own eyes. Moreover, the other party's mansion is very close to us, and the disciple has personally confirmed it."
"Haha, interesting."
The real old monk Wu didn't know what he thought of, and he laughed heartily.
"Master, do you know the purpose of their coming here?"
"This matter is of great importance, why are you asking so randomly?" The real monk Wu's eyes turned cold, and he was so frightened that the young novice trembled all over and begged,
"Ancestor, my grandson has realized his mistake."
"Huh, I won't do it next time." Hearing the voice of "ancestor", the real monk Wu dispersed his anger and said,
"Go on, this period is very dangerous. No one is allowed to leave the temple without my order."
"My grandson obeys the order, I will go and convey it now."
The young novice monk bowed respectfully and left the meditation room in a hurry. Old monk Zhen Wu ignored him, but looked to the west and sneered:
"It looks like it's about to begin. Unfortunately, I don't know if you will cry when you know the truth of the matter."
After a pause, his brows suddenly frowned.
"Zhao Ji has ascended the throne, so it is in line with the arrangement of the Holy Lord. In addition, three of the seven nightmare spirits have been in place, two have not yet grown up, and there are still two missing, but it is a bit troublesome. Bian
There seems to be no suitable host body in the capital. Maybe you can ask Lao Wu, Lao Liu, and Lao Qi..."
…
"What do the officials think?"
In Baoci Palace, Zhao Ji was dining with Empress Dowager Xiang. As he expected, during the period, the other party mentioned the restoration of the Meng family.
"The emperor's sister-in-law is a virtuous and virtuous person, and she really shouldn't stay alone in the Yaohua Palace until her old age. This matter will be decided by the empress, and I have no objection."
"It's so good that the Ai family has thanked the officials for their kindness."
With the change of identity, Empress Dowager Xiang obviously had some scruples about Zhao Ji, and her words were no longer as casual as before. However, when she saw that the other party agreed to her request without hesitation, she felt happy. Sure enough, she had seen the other person correctly.
, he is indeed a benevolent and filial gentleman.
"What should Mrs. Liu do?"
"Her."
Zhao Ji put down the chopsticks in his hands and did not answer immediately. When he asked the Empress Dowager, he was obviously not interested in drinking, and it was a bit of a test. After all, the Liu family and the Empress Dowager were not in the same family. They were members of the old party when Zhe Zong was in power.
Pulse's eyesore.
"As both the emperor's sisters-in-law, I should treat everyone equally to show fairness, so as to avoid gossiping inside and outside the court."
"The officials are rigorous in their thinking. In this way, the Ai family is relieved."
Queen Mother Xiang's expression changed slightly, but it was fleeting. She probably understood in her heart that she was no longer King Duan and could not obey her words as before.
Of course, she was just using this as a test, and had no intention of continuing. As for Mrs. Liu, as long as she reigns for one day, she will not be able to change her position.
Thinking of this, his expression softened and he said with a smile:
"After a while, we will have concubines. Zheng and Wang are beautiful, well-behaved and sensible. When the time comes, give them some status."
"This is what it should be."
These two women are all maids beside the Queen Mother. They have been ordered to serve "him" a long time ago, and they should be given some status. The Wang family here is just a junior Wang family, different from his main wife Wang family.
Of course, Zhao Ji agreed not only because of this, but also for another reason. Suddenly, he thought of something, and there was a faint coldness in his eyes, which passed away in a flash.
…
Time flies, and a few days pass in the blink of an eye.
Liu Hunkang took his disciples as guests and said goodbye the next day. Maoshan was originally a large sect, so it had a place to stay. In this way, peace was restored in the Chu Mansion.
However, during this period of time, Chu Feng did not relax. Instead, he kept going to the dense forest of the imperial city's Gen position.
"Master, I always feel that the Tian Longzi mentioned by that old Taoist is a bit strange."
On this day, Chu Feng was exploring the dense forest when Xiao Zi's voice suddenly came to his mind.
"Tell me?"
"That's the formation diagram." A flash of purple light revealed Xiao Zi's figure, sitting on his shoulder and saying,
"According to what the formation diagram said, when setting up the formation, the national luck of the country needs to be consumed, which will inevitably lead to the decline of the national luck of the Song Dynasty. Isn't this a disguised weakening? By then, even if the trouble here is solved, the national luck will decline, and the gain will not be worth the loss.
."
"You know this, I know it, and everyone else also knows it. I probably think that activating the formation will be easy and the consumption will not be very high. The most dangerous thing is the backlash of the dead spirit, so I chose to do this.
."
"But, what if there is something wrong with Longzi that day? In other words, he has no problem, but there is something wrong with the formation. No matter what happens, it is an unpredictable disaster."
"It's hard to say what will happen if the snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit." Chu Feng smiled and said
"So, before that, we need to make this place as clear as possible so that we can be prepared on both sides."
"Prepare both hands, what do you plan to do, master?" Xiao Zi was obviously curious and couldn't wait to ask.
"I have studied that array diagram, and there are no errors or omissions in theory. In other words, it is indeed a powerful array. Once it is operated, it can transform yin into yang, evil into good, and cultivate dragon veins.
Effect."
"Then what?" Xiao Zi nodded vigorously, looking like I was serious.
"So, there are only two most critical questions. One is how much dragon energy is needed to activate the formation, and whether dragon energy will still be needed to maintain operation after activation." Chu Feng paused and then said,
"If you think about it carefully, what if we don't rely on dragon energy, but rely on our own strength to activate it?"
"On... on our own?"
Xiao Zi was stunned for a while, but she couldn't figure it out. With her power, she could indeed activate the formation, and it was very easy. However, the master's style of acting has always been to take one step at a time and wait for three steps. So, it must be still
Have other purposes.
"Since we can help, but the master didn't tell the other party, could it be...ah..." Xiao Zi suddenly exclaimed softly, covered her mouth with her little hand, and said with a smile,
"I understand. Master is planning to change the situation?"
"It's a matter of stealing the sky and changing the day." Chu Feng couldn't help but be surprised, and tapped his forehead, which immediately made the other party giggle.
"The master is really bad, and he wants to dig holes for others."
"I'm not as strong as others, so I can only use some conspiracy and tricks." Thinking of the mysterious Holy Lord, Chu Feng couldn't help but sigh, glanced vaguely towards the east, and murmured,
"I don't know if those three are still in the mortal world. It would be a pity if they all ascended."
"Master, don't worry. If the plan succeeds, there is a great possibility of getting in touch with the outside world. At that time, with the help of Sister Li, we will cooperate internally and externally, and all this will not be a problem."
"You are more open-minded than me." Xiao Zi's reminder immediately made Chu Feng feel relieved and said with a smile,
"Let's go down there and take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, his body sank and fell into the ground in an instant.
Different from other places, the underground here is obviously very strange. The soil has been infected by the resentment of death for countless years, and has become extremely cold.
Such an environment is definitely an extremely dangerous environment for ordinary monks. If you are not careful, you will be invaded by resentment and become possessed.
However, Chu Feng is an exception. With the Great Red Burning Sky Treasure Record as his foundation, he is not afraid of this kind of negative energy. What's more, he has Xiao Zi beside him, and he is even more carefree.
Carrying the Earth Escape Technique all the way down, it took a quarter of an hour to move forward before stopping. At this time, it had passed through the soil layer, and suddenly it was empty under its feet, but it reached an underground space.
"Zizzi..."
"Hey Hey……"
"Give me back my life, I died so unjustly..."
"Shengren, such delicious strangers..."
The underground space is like another world, boundless. It is chaotic and filled with black and gray death and resentment everywhere.
In such an environment, those resentful spirits took to the water like a fish in water and swarmed in. While attacking, they continued to emit bursts of mournful and demonic sounds, which captivated the soul.
Chu Feng closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, purple light burst out. However, what surprised him was that even with the Burning Sky Eye, he could only see about three feet, but he couldn't see anything further away.
Already.
"What a weird place." He frowned slightly and couldn't help asking,
"Maybe you can find out what's going on deep down?"
"Master, leave it to me." Xiao Zi patted her chest and volunteered.
Its eyes also flashed with purple light, but they were different from Chu Feng's Burning Sky Eyes, and were more restrained.
Chu Feng knew, however, that Xiao Zi's divine eye power was essentially the same as his, but it was at a higher level and already involved certain innate laws.
Of course, he can only envy him. They are born innately and do not need to practice. But he is different. He needs a long process of practice. Only in this way can he have the possibility of upgrading.
"There is good news and bad news, which one does the master want to hear first?" After a moment, Xiao Zi looked back and suddenly asked.
"You're still trying to sell it off."
Chu Feng couldn't help but feel a little funny, and glanced around. At this time, after paying a heavy price, those resentful spirits seemed to know that he was not easy to mess with, and they all ran away. Except for the lingering evil resentment.
Instead of being angry, he became quieter.
"Let me tell you the bad news first."
"Due to the long history of time, together with the formation, an independent world has been formed here. Although it is incomplete, it has its own laws."
"A separate world?"
Chu Feng frowned. This is indeed bad news. Since it has evolved into a world and has the attributes of the underworld, it is almost impossible to destroy it. Even if it is done by force, the destruction of a small world may be
The entire Central Plains Continent will be buried with him.
"Where's the good news?"
"It's that formation." Xiao Zi paused, glanced vaguely in a certain direction, and continued,
"The yin and yang transformation ability of the formation, although it treats the symptoms but not the root cause, is actually the best way to solve the problem."
Chu Feng probably understood what Xiao Zi meant. Since this place can no longer be destroyed, sealing is the only option. Then through the Yin and Yang Dragon Training Formation, the connection between this small world of resentful spirits and the outside can be completely cut off, making it
There is no chance to absorb negative energy and continue to strengthen.
Just as he was meditating, suddenly, a black shadow suddenly flashed through the black mist, and in an instant, it shot straight towards his vest.
"Huh, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Xiao Zi was standing on her shoulder, but she pointed her little hand, and in an instant, a purple chain suddenly appeared, instantly binding the flying black shadow tightly.
"This is...the Ghost King?"
Chu Feng was a little surprised. He had noticed something strange about Xiao Zi before, but he did not alert the snake. The purpose was to lure him to take action, but he did not expect that it was actually a ghost king.
"Save...spare my life..."
At this moment, the ghost king was obviously in a miserable state. Purple flames were rising from the purple chains wrapped around him, causing him unbearable pain. While screaming, he had to beg for mercy.
"It seems that this place has existed for a long time, and a ghost king can be born." Chu Feng ignored the other party's begging for mercy, and instead analyzed it carefully.
"Not only time, but also a lot of soul-generating resentment is needed, otherwise it is impossible to give birth to the Ghost King." Xiao Zi nodded, then looked at the Ghost King lying on the ground rolling around, and said with a sweet voice,
"Tell me, who are you and how did you reach the realm of the Ghost King?"
"Fairy... Fairy, please spare your life, can you lock away this fire? I must know everything and tell you everything."
Being burned by the purple fire, although the power was restrained, it was not something that a century-old ghost king could resist. The pain that penetrated the heart and soul was truly extremely painful.
"It's a beautiful thought."
Xiao Zi said this, but because of her title of fairy, she still restrained some of her power and dispersed the flames, but the chain did not loosen at all.
"Tell me, tell me who you are, and give me a clear introduction."
"My...youngest name is Zhu Minghuang, and he is...the former Emperor of Liang."
"What, you are Zhu Wen!"
Chu Feng was stunned for a moment, but he was really surprised by the answer. That is to say, the miserable begging for mercy just now made him inadvertently ignore it. At this time, if he looked carefully, he did have a faint trace of a superior person.
temperament.
"Exactly...exactly the villain." The ghost king, Zhu Wen, replied cautiously.
How dare you put on airs when you are being controlled by others at this moment. Let alone the former emperor, let alone the ghost king. After being burned by the weird flames and feeling the despair that makes you want to live, nothing else matters.
"Zhu Wen, it's been a long time."
Chu Feng replied with a half-smile. In the past, in the world of bad people, he had met another Zhu Wen and killed him with his own hands. However, he did not expect that in a different world, he would meet him again.
Homogenous ones.
"Great... Great Immortal, what does this mean?"
Zhu Wen's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, could it be that the other party recognized him before and came here specifically for him? However, he really didn't have the slightest impression.
"It has nothing to do with you." Chu Feng waved his hand,
"Go on, how did you get here, and how did you become the Ghost King?"
