I practiced with a cheat

"erosion?"

Zhou Heng was stunned when he heard this, frowned and said, "How can you see that?"

After the Tianyang War, in order to defend against evil gods externally and monsters internally, the Royal Family of the Three Kingdoms took the lead and established the Zhoutian Patrol Division based on the Zhoutian Star Map.

However, the royal families of the three kingdoms have their own conflicts, so it is naturally difficult for them to work together. It just so happens that the Zhoutian Star Map is divided into three walls and twenty-eight constellations, so the Zhoutian Xunjie Division is also divided into three.

As the former royal family of the Central Dynasty of Da Qi, the Zhao family occupies the center of the world and controls Ziwei Yuan and Qinglong Qisu. The Tang family of the Southern Jin Dynasty controls Taiwei Yuan and Suzaku Qisu. The Ji family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty controls Tianshi Yuan, Xuanwu Qisu, and Baihu. Qisu.

Although the number of star positions occupied by the three Zhoutian Xunjie Divisions is different, the number of star officials that have appeared in the past three thousand years is almost the same. Their strength is relatively similar, the overall gap is not big, and they are in peace with each other. , basically no fighting.

After all, the original intention of this organization was to resist evil spirits, so we should work together.

Therefore, now Zhou Heng suddenly heard that the Five Emperors' Concubine said that the Zhou Tian Xunjie Division of the Southern Jin Dynasty was showing signs of encroaching on this area, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Although the Zhoutian Star Map is collectively called the Three Walls and the Twenty-eight Constellations, there are far more stars in the sky, and the same is true for the stars on the map. You know this."

The Five Emperors Inner Seat explained: "The Tripartite Patrol Division divided the stars in the sky into three large sky regions. In fact, there are a large number of scattered stars at the intersection of each other.

"Originally, the boundaries of the sky areas were very clear and did not interfere with each other. But recently, when I looked at the sky areas of the star map, I found that the sky area of ​​​​Nan Jin Fang had advanced to three star areas at some point."

"They passed through the border of the sky area and secretly eroded the three star areas?" Zhou Heng raised his head and looked up. In the Jieyou Palace, you can directly see the star map of the sky.

At this glance, it was indeed discovered that the three star fields that once belonged to the Daqi sky area had dimmed, which meant that they had belonged to the adjacent Nanjin sky area.

"Such a change is definitely not an unintentional move." The Fifth Emperor's Inner Master said solemnly: "In recent days, the Southern Jin Dynasty has been taking frequent actions, and the Star Lord also knows that their Zhoutian Xunjie Division may not be unaffected. "

"Tai Weiyuan's star position was originally Zi Weiyuan's auxiliary officer, and they did this..." Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled: "Are they planning to rebel?"

Most of the star names in Ziweiyuan are the titles of royal nobles, in Taiweiyuan they are mainly ministers and officials, and in Tianshiyuan they are mainly secular people who are merchants in the market.

If Taiweiyuan really wants to erode Ziweiyuan's territory, there is no problem in calling him a rebellion.

"It's not clear whether they are rebelling or not, but they must be a little impatient." The Five Emperors also knew that Zhou Heng was joking when he said rebellion and did not take it seriously. "They may be afraid of you, Lord Star Master."

"Afraid of me?" Zhou Heng asked back. In fact, he already understood the meaning of the inner seat of the Five Emperors, and said: "Are you afraid that I will become stronger as the master of Ziwei Star, gather the Zhoutian Star Chart, and unite the three divisions into one?"

"It may not be that we don't have this plan. As for the specific situation, we still don't know." The Five Emperors said: "I have informed Lord Qinglong about this matter. After receiving the instructions, I issued a task to investigate the situation of the Southern Jin Dynasty Patrol Department."

"Who is going?" Zhou Heng suddenly felt something in his heart and guessed: "Is it Beidou?"

"That's right." The inner seat of the Five Emperors nodded gently and said, "She has always been diligent. This task has many rewards. When it was first announced, she took it."

It turned out that she went to the Southern Jin Dynasty to attend an appointment and to investigate the Southern Jin Dynasty Patrol Department. It was probably because she was in Taihua Mountain at the time and could not block the perception of others, so she did not explain it.

Zhou Heng understood in his heart, and then said: "In some time, I may also go to Southern Jin Dynasty."

"The Southern Jin Dynasty is dangerous, Star Master must be careful." Hearing this, the Five Emperors' inner seat said earnestly: "Star Master, please remember that under the Southern Jin sky area, you must not use the star mask, otherwise it will be like a light in the dark night. conspicuous.”

"Don't worry, I'm not a reckless person." Zhou Heng smiled and asked again: "Senior, have you found the mission about the fifth-grade monster in the sect?"

"It has been found. Star Master can check directly through the mask." The Five Emperors said.

"Thank you very much." Zhou Heng nodded.

…

"Mission location: Anyui Mansion in Xiangzhou.

"Mission brief description: The master of the palace, Zhangqiu, reported the situation. There are many people in Yanfu and the towns under his jurisdiction who are sleeping. The number has reached 10,000. It is suspected that monsters have come through dreams. The fifth-grade star official of the sect was dispatched half a month ago. Went there, but no reply so far.

"The purpose of the mission: to investigate whether it is really a monster causing trouble, and to find out the whereabouts of Xinsu.

"Mission warning: Monsters are dangerous, and the spirit is best at attacking people. If there is no corresponding secret method, it is best to wear a secret treasure that protects the spirit.

"Basic reward for the mission: five hundred good deeds.

"Additional rewards for the mission: Killing the monster will reward you with one thousand good deeds, and surviving the heart will reward you with one thousand good deeds."

…

Zhou Heng was not familiar with Xinsu. He had only seen her at a party held by Zhou Tian Xunjie Division and knew that she was a graceful and graceful woman.

It's a nod of acquaintance.

However, after all, this is a master of the fifth level of the sect. He used to investigate the affairs of An Sui Mansion, but he never replied.

It can be seen that things there are not simple.

If it is really related to the monster, then the monster's strength is probably not trivial.

…

Xiangzhou is a prefecture and county in the northern part of Daqi, and Ansui Mansion is still in the north of Xiangzhou.

This area has a cold climate and many hills. It has few connections with the outside world, so it is not prosperous. The population is not large. The total population of the prefecture city and its subordinate towns is only 300,000.

Now that more than 10,000 people are sleeping, the entire Ansui Prefecture is in chaos.

There are people sleeping in every household.

The prefecture master Zhang Qiu is extremely anxious, but with his strength of the sixth level of the secret, he is completely helpless in such a situation. He can do nothing and can only report to the Zhoutian Patrol Division for help.

Half a month ago, a star official from the Zhoutian Patrol Division, "Xinyue Fox", came here, like a fairy descending from heaven, almost making everyone fall in love with her.

She set up a forbidden formation in the center of the prefecture city, and her soul left her body and entered the dreams of the sleeping people, trying to wake them up, but she never woke up again.

If it weren't for the fact that she was still alive under the induction of her spiritual consciousness, people would have thought that this master had died.

Zhang Qiu had no choice but to continue to ask the Zhoutian Patrol Division for help.

I finally got a reply recently. A stronger master will come soon to eliminate the evil spirits in Ansui Mansion.

This made Zhang Qiu feel relieved, but he didn't dare to relax too much.

After all, Xinyuehu was still sitting in the forbidden formation in the center of the city. This trouble was very big. Even the masters of Zhoutian Xunjie Division might not be able to deal with it.

On the third day of July, the sun was approaching dusk.

Zhang Qiu was still waiting anxiously. The setting sun shone obliquely, stretching his shadow very long.

The Lord of Ansui Mansion kept walking back and forth in the courtyard of the government office in the prefecture city, without stopping for a moment. He was really upset.

In the past three days, nearly a thousand people have been unable to get up after sleeping.

The number of people has been increasing, and the speed is getting faster and faster!

"If this continues, I'm afraid that everyone in Ansui Mansion will fall asleep!" Zhang Qiu sighed dejectedly. He was really desperate. Faced with this weird situation, he had no way to deal with it with his cultivation in the real Gang realm.

This was a situation he had never encountered during his ten years of ruling here. In the past, even if there were evil things or ghosts, he could always see their traces. Even if he couldn't kill them, he had a chance to repel them.

But what's going on now?

People fell asleep for no reason and never woke up. What's this?

Is this a monster?

How should we deal with it?

"Master, you seem very sad?"

A clear voice suddenly came, and then a figure fell from the sky and landed in the courtyard of the Ansui Prefecture City Yamen.

"Who?" Zhang Qiu was shocked and turned around in a hurry. Someone could completely deceive his perception and come to the prefecture city Yamen. This might be a fifth-grade master.

When he turned around, he saw a man in a purple robe, elegant and luxurious, wearing an emperor mask. Just standing there, he gave people a feeling of incomparable dignity and superiority.

"Emperor Ziwei!" Zhang Qiu immediately recognized the identity represented by the mask, and was immediately overjoyed, "I guess you are the Emperor Ziwei of the Zhoutian Patrol Division."

——The Zhoutian Patrol Division had mentioned the identity of the star official who came this time in the reply letter to him.

"That's right." Zhou Heng nodded slightly and smiled, "Is the Heart Moon Fox in the center of the city?"

"Yes." Zhang Qiu calmed down a little and was about to continue to explain the situation, but he suddenly realized Zhou Heng's cultivation level and was slightly stunned.

Secret Sixth Rank?

This Emperor Ziwei, actually only has the cultivation level of Secret Sixth Rank?

The previous Xinyue Fox of the Fifth Rank was helpless against this change, and even his life and death were unpredictable. Why did the Zhoutian Patrol Division send another Secret Sixth Rank?

What can a Secret Sixth Rank do?

Zhang Qiu suddenly became angry, and the pent-up irritability in recent times almost broke out.

However, after all, he has been an official for many years and is good at hiding his true emotions, and did not directly express his dissatisfaction.

At the same time, he thought of the concealment ability shown by the Purple Star Emperor just now, as well as the meaning of the title of Purple Star Emperor, and he couldn't help but have more expectations in his heart.

Perhaps this Purple Star Emperor really has the means to solve this change?

But this secret sixth-grade cultivation level can't really make him feel at ease.

"Lord Xinsu is in the forbidden formation in the center of the city." Zhang Qiu calmed down a little and said, "Such a fifth-grade master of the sect, who has made full preparations, has not succeeded. You must have a special method this time."

He was testing Zhou Heng's means.

"Yes." Zhou Heng smiled.

He had seen through Zhang Qiu's thoughts a long time ago, but he didn't get angry.

In the final analysis, Zhang Qiu was also worried about the people under his rule. It was indeed difficult for a secret sixth-grade like him to convince people. Once the matter was resolved, everything would be self-evident.

There was no need to say more about this matter.

...

The sun set and dusk was over.

The dark clouds covered the moon, and only a few stars dotted the night sky. Zhou Heng and Zhang Qiu rode the night and came to the center of Ansui Prefecture.

There was a red flame burning here, bright and dazzling, illuminating the night sky.

The flames drew complex rune prohibitions one after another, which intertwined with each other to form a very complex formation, containing extremely diverse effects.

Zhou Heng only took a glance and distinguished the effects such as: avoiding dust, exorcising evil spirits, defense, isolation, nourishing qi, and nourishing the spirit.

It should be an extremely sophisticated formation.

Even if they are both fifth-grade masters, it will take a lot of effort to break the defense of this formation, and it may not be successful.

With such a formation, even if the mind, soul, and dharma are absent, one can still protect one's physical body.

"It seems that she has already prepared for a protracted war." Zhou Heng made a judgment after looking at it for a while, and then said: "Palace Master Zhang, please excuse me, protector, I will go to sleep to kill the demon."

"Ah?" Zhang Qiu was stunned when he heard this. He seemed to be unable to react for a while, and asked doubtfully: "Don't you need to make any preparations?"

He remembered clearly that Xinsu had made a lot of preparations before setting up the prohibition formation.

First, he collected many spiritual materials, then drew various complicated talismans and seals, and finally arranged a mysterious and powerful formation. This is where he really started to take action.

Now listening to the meaning of this Ziwei Emperor, it seems that he wants to kill the enemy directly?

That would be too hasty.

"There is no need to make any special preparations." Zhou Heng smiled, sat down cross-legged outside the formation, and gently pushed his hair crown.

I saw a stream of fresh air rushing out from his Tianmen, flying unimpeded into the formation restriction set up by Xinsu.

Then, it entered Xinsu's body and touched the depth of her soul.

Qing Qi suddenly transformed into an old man riding a green bull, following her soul's perception and entering her dream.

A ray of soul enters the dream!

…

Dreams are bizarre and often contain things that are completely impossible in reality.

Sometimes the same thing appears, and the previous and later performances are completely inconsistent, without any logic, and the connections between events and characters are usually fragmented.

Dreams are both illusion and reality, making people unable to figure them out.

To enter a dream with one's soul is to enter into other people's bizarre world in a waking state.

If one's own will is not firm enough and clear enough, it is possible to be immersed in other people's dreams and find it difficult to extricate oneself.

Zhou Heng suspected that Xinsu had encountered a similar situation.

Therefore, the first thing he did was to enter the dream of the heart, explore the situation of her dream, and then use her dream to explore the dream situation of more than 10,000 people.

This ray of Zhou Heng's soul turned into an old man riding a green bull. After passing through layers of "fog", he found himself outside a small mountain village.

However, this mountain village was already burning with raging fire, and the people inside were running away, crying, and screaming in despair. At every moment, someone would fall down, engulfed by the flames, and turn into charcoal.

At the entrance of the mountain village, a little girl who seemed to be seven or eight years old stood there, trembling all over as she faced the mountain village that was being burned by flames.

Zhou Heng sensed a familiar aura on the little girl's body, and was about to ride a green bull forward——

But he saw the little girl turned back suddenly, her face had no facial features, and was as flat as a piece of white paper. She was extremely horrified, and at the same time she slowly moved forward.

step!

step!

Slowly approach Zhou Heng.

Suddenly, the little girl's ghostly voice sounded in the void, as if questioning.

"Did you set the fire?!"
