Ask Sword

With the interruption of Jun Qianzi's voice, the talisman burned and annihilated by itself, turned into ashes, and dissipated in the wind.

Lian Xuanxiao stood there silently holding the sword, his eyes slowly drooping, as if he had aged a few years in a trance.

well

With a long sigh, he sheathed his sword and lifted the cuff of his right hand.

On the thin arm, there was a deep and charred scar,

The scar stretched from the elbow to the shoulder, chest, and even to the heart, spreading like a spider web.

It seemed to have life, flickering with every breath he took.

Lian Xuanxiao put down his sleeves, faced Chang'an, and stared at the country he loved.

I don't know how long I can last.

He shook his head, his figure disappeared, leaving only a barren, lifeless forest pothole, silently facing the sky.

————

The fire was extinguished.

Chen Danqiu looked down at the scorched and smoky Chang'an city, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The plan made by those who attacked Chang'an must not be insidious. If the fire was caused by talismans, then the Fusi of Xuegong Township could easily extinguish it.

But the fire caused by the giant tooth whale oil is not affected by spells, and it is difficult to extinguish even if it rains, and it is easy to spread.

Fortunately, everyone responded in a timely manner and rescued in a timely manner.

In addition, not all fireworks in Fangshi exploded successfully,

Finally, the disaster did not develop in the worst direction.

And the turbulent wind that shrouded the city, because the disaster did not intensify further, also slowly dissipated, and it was unknown where it went.

Swish——

Shen Tuyu flew out from the palace and stopped in front of Chen Danqiu.

Brother,

Chen Danqiu greeted, How is Your Majesty?

In the darkroom of Daming Palace, it's very safe.

Shen Tuyu paused, and said with a wry smile, It's just that I'm still angry.

The emperor's rage was justifiable,

Jinwuwei, Zhenfusi and other institutions have made preparations for the security of the Yue King's wedding for a whole year.

But this accident still happened.

The clan nobles, court ministers, and foreign missions at the wedding were almost caught in a pot, and the entire Chang'an City was also engulfed in flames, almost burning to nothing.

The culprit must be found.

Shen Tuyu said: The Jinwu Guard has already proposed to hold the Qiqiao Festival in the shortest possible time. Merchants from the eastern and western cities, craftsmen who make fireworks and lanterns, guards at the city gates who are responsible for checking incoming and outgoing goods, etc., all those who may involve attackers, All under control.

There were as many as three thousand people.

Chen Danqiu frowned and said, So many people?

It's not clear which link went wrong, and it's still under investigation,

Shen Tuyu frowned and said: When my subordinates followed the list to arrest them, many people on the list either disappeared mysteriously or committed suicide.

It's not like the secret agents of Zhou, Jing, or Turkic. It is more like the thousand-machine puppet technique of Emperor Taixuan of the former Sui Dynasty.

What?!

Chen Danqiu's eyelids twitched. Taixuanzong was one of the most powerful hidden sects in the former Sui Dynasty. He liked to collect epigraphy cultural relics and study ancient secret arts.

Their thousand-machine puppet technique can perfectly control those whose cultivation level is lower than their own, making them act as puppets.

As long as the number of thoughts and the speed of thinking can keep up, you can even control hundreds of people at the same time!

Snack vendors on the street warmly entertaining customers, potbellied merchants, yamen servants fishing in troubled waters, and even kabuki in romantic venues,

In such a big city, anyone could be a puppet.

The threat to social order is unmatched by any secret technique.

How's the situation?

Before the people arrive, the sound has arrived. Lian Xuanxiao flew down from the clouds and landed in front of Shen Tuyu and Chen Danqiu.

The two saluted and quickly introduced the current situation of Chang'an City.

The cultivator who released the Thousand Machine Puppet Technique has already smelled the wind and escaped from Chang'an. However, Chang'an Weijing has recorded his breath.

Shen Tuyu said: As long as he appears again, he can be locked directly.

Um.

Lian Xuanxiao nodded noncommittally,

Chen Danqiu hesitated for a moment, but still asked: Shan Zhang, 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 smell brought about by the defection more than ten years ago is still unforgettable. At that time, they were not the two who offered the sacrifice and the wine, but also the witnesses of that incident.

Here I leave it to you.

Lian Xuanxiao said, and flew towards the Furong Garden.

Tsk.

Shen Tuyu smacked his lips with mixed emotions. With the talents, knowledge and popularity of the emperor's son back then, if he didn't defect, he would definitely be able to ascend to the position of Siye.

He knew Xuegong and Yu State well, such enemies were far more terrifying than the thousands of troops of Zhou State and Jing State.

Mr. Shentu!

Qi Ji, the deputy commander of the Zhenfu Department, ascended into the sky with the aid of a talisman, and quickly said to Shen Tuyu and Chen Danqiu: Situ Zhi, who was imprisoned in the sarcophagus forest before, has disappeared.

————

Gululu.

The wheels turned, and the carriage drove on the official road to the north.

Situ Zhi, with a pale face and messy beard and hair, sat on the seat of the carriage.

He was still wearing heavy shackles on his hands and feet, and his whole body was covered with chains,

On the shoulders, there are two hollow flesh and blood piercing through the lute,

The entire sea of ​​popularity is sluggish, the spirit veins are shrinking, and there is no hope of recovering the cultivation base.

But his eyes were as sharp as ever.

Dare to take me away under Zhen Fusi's eyes, stepping on the timing of Lian Xuanxiao's departure, and use secret techniques to snatch me away. You are indeed very brave.

Situ Zhi spoke slowly, because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was hoarse like a grinding disc, However, if you dare to betray Zhao Ming, you are no longer brave, but stupid.

Sitting opposite him was a smiling girl, Lu Yunan, a businessman from the northern Black Mountain.

Mr. Situ is wrong, when did I betray Zhao Ming?

Lu Yunan smiled and said: Crow Nine was afraid of being locked by Chang'an Weijing, so he destroyed all the puppets, and escaped from Chang'an by himself, traveling thousands of miles away.

So in her view, I just released Li Luanfeng as instructed, and took the opportunity to leave Chang'an after completing the task.

Nobody knows you're here with me.

Even if Yajiu and the others found out that you disappeared in the disaster, they would only think that it was the Zhen Fusi or the Academy who transferred you to a more secret prison.

Zhao Ming acted secretly,

The one at the top is You Qiong who single-handedly founded the organization,

Situzhi, Junqianzi, Yuansou, Guishou and other Zhuxiao monks all obeyed his orders.

Under this, there are core members like Jun Qianzi's disciple Ya Jiu and Situ Zhi's disciple Yu Shi,

As well as Lu Yunan and Li Ang, who have been grasped and are ready to be absorbed into the organization's peripheral members.

Lu Yunan clearly knew that Zhao Ming was unfathomable and that there were countless high-strength monks, but he still chose to take Situ Zhi away at the great risk of being wiped out.

Even Situ Zhi himself couldn't understand this.

My Sea of ​​Qi has been crippled, and you probably don't have a way to restore my cultivation,

Situ Zhi asked hoarsely, I want to know, what exactly are you planning?

Your Excellency was expelled from the Western Kingdom because of taboo research, and you are not tolerated by the Yu Kingdom and the Zhou Kingdom.

Gu masters, no matter where they go, they are always vigilant and guarded against.

Even in the shadow of all villains, no Brother Zhuxiao is willing to partner with you.

Lu Yunan smiled and said: As for me, I am willing to provide you with a stage to display your talents and knowledge and display the subtlety of Gu skills.

For example, Turks.

She took out a spherical glass container from under the carriage table.

In the container lay a dying black mouse full of fleas,
