Money in the heavens

"Evil Lord" Guan Ying had escaped from the hands of the National Master and the Queen of Demons, and had also fought against the Ghost King, the Absolute Sword, and the Ruyi Monk together without being defeated. His strength is evident!

When the wind is cold, there will be bitter rain. Autumn rain gradually fell outside the mountain temple, and the night became darker.

Lu Zhongqi did not mention the matter of rushing to the capital at night, because in such an environment, it is easy to be attacked when walking at night, and it would be too late to rescue at that time, so it is better to stick to the mountain temple.

The wind was strong and the rain was heavy, making the tiles crackle, adding to the feeling of the dead of night.

At this time, the windows on all sides were suddenly knocked open, and five or six figures jumped in.

They were about to take action, but they saw Shang Yi sitting cross-legged by the fire, motionless as a clock, with a black black bird on his shoulder staring at them coldly, which made several people feel cold in their hearts.

The attacker was stunned, and his eyes subconsciously looked around, and saw five bodies lying in a mess near the door of the mountain temple.

One of them was tall, with a rough face and wide-open eyes, and he died with his eyes wide open. The other four were all tiger-headed and looked exactly the same. They were dressed neatly as if they had never fought before, except for a red spot on their foreheads, which was a sword wound. They were killed with one blow!

These people withdrew their gazes in fear and looked at Shang Yi, the most eye-catching person in the ruined temple.

"Run!"

These people shouted together and jumped out the way they came, but they were no longer murderous and agile, and looked embarrassed and panicked.

The temple was quiet again. This time, Lu Zhongqi, Tiger Taoist and others relaxed a lot. Ruan Yushu's guqin sound also changed, with gurgling water and clear movement. Lu Guan simply picked up the military book and read it carefully by the firelight.

Another group of people came outside. They saw the broken windows and doors and felt that there was no movement inside. They were shocked and did not dare to act rashly. They quietly went to the window and looked inside.

They were shocked when they saw this. Lu Guan and his group seemed to be on a leisurely outing. They were not panicked or nervous at all because they were being chased and blocked.

They swallowed their saliva and carefully looked at the situation inside the broken temple.

Suddenly, their eyes focused, their pupils contracted, and they said in a lost voice: "General Jian!"

"The four evil men of the Zheng family!"

After a short silence, many people turned around and left without looking back. Even the four evil men of the Zheng family died here. Who dared to do it?

There were also a few brave people who stayed. They felt that it was a bit strange. Since the people inside could kill the four evil men of the Zheng family, why didn't they come out to kill themselves and others? Could it be that there was something strange? It was not them who killed the four evil men of the Zheng family, and they had already left, so they only dared to scare people and did not dare to really do it?

Some people mustered up their courage, climbed onto the roof, found the right position, broke the tiles and wooden beams, and hit them from the air!

The other few people quickly turned back and looked inside. Once they exposed their weakness, they would immediately do it.

Ah!

The few people only saw the young man with a black bird on his shoulder waving his hand, and a cold light flew out of his sleeve and pierced into the eyebrows of the attacker. The next moment, it flew around the temple and returned to the young man's hand. It was a flying sword the size of an index finger.

This was Shang Yi deliberately slowing down the speed of the flying sword to shock them and tell the people behind them to send out masters.

They turned around and left in silence.

After that, several waves of people came, but no one dared to enter the mountain temple. They all watched for a while and then retreated silently. They came in the rain and left in the rain!

The rain disappeared, the sky gradually brightened, Shang Yi slowly stood up, and said calmly:

"It's time to set off."

Although Shang Yi acted faster than Meng Qi, he still followed the spiritual prompts and continued the original plot like Meng Qi.

In fact, he understood that this was probably a script designed by the Fengdu Emperor, who wanted to observe and understand him through this, and at the same time wanted to find the whereabouts of Morota who was hiding in the Nine Netherworld from him.

Peishui, the long river on which the capital depends for its survival, has rolling water and overlapping sails, which is very lively.

"I haven't seen it for nine years, and the capital is as prosperous as yesterday." Lu Guan sighed with emotion.

"If the Western Tartars go south, such a prosperous scene will no longer exist. Please take care of your health for the people and the world." Taoist Tiger said sincerely.

He glanced at Shang Yi and sighed:

"Friend Huaikong, although I don't know your origins, this matter depends entirely on the help of you and Miss Ruan. People in the world are afraid of the power of spies and the masters around him. Only you are righteous. Although I can't represent the people of the world, I can thank you on my own behalf."

Lu Guan nodded gently: "Heroes are born young. I will remember the kindness of the two friends in my heart and hope to repay them in the future."

"We are for justice, not for personal favors. If General Lu can repel the Western Tartars, it will be the best reward for us."

Shang Yi said the lines of Meng Qi in the original work.

Lu Guanzheng nodded: "To expel the Western barbarians and eliminate future troubles is Lu's lifelong ambition."

With the capital in sight, he suddenly felt proud and stressed. After getting on the boat, he remained silent, watching the rushing river and the crowds on the shore.

"Compared with the capital, Yuexi is like a world away from the ground." Lu Zhongqi was obviously relaxed a lot. After crossing the Pei River and reaching the other side, he could find the post station and take out the imperial edict. By then, the danger would be over.

So he was in a mood to appreciate the banks of the Pei River and the outer walls of the capital.

Hu Daoren laughed and said, "I don't feel anything about this, but I miss the top red wine in Desheng Tower. Tsk, just thinking about it, the wine bug in my stomach starts to roll."

All along the way, he had been holding back from drinking because he was afraid of making mistakes.

Shang Yi felt the river breeze and nodded slightly. The capital here is indeed larger and more prosperous than Xuanwu, but there are obviously fewer heroes with swords. Scholars and ladies are walking under the willows on both sides of the bank.

A large boat went down the river and passed in front of the ferry boat with five people sitting on it. Shadows enveloped it, as if the sky was darkening.

Suddenly, a figure rushed over from the building, the figure was very fast, and there was almost an afterimage.

His sleeves were spread out and fluttering in the wind, like a goshawk fighting a rabbit, perfectly forming a whole with the rolling river water, the slowly descending building boat, and the shadow between the two boats. Regardless of the angle or posture, It was extremely harmonious, as if it was taking the surrounding world with a palm, making Ruan Yushu on the side feel like being rejected by buildings, boats, rivers, and shadows. It seemed that the world was so big that there was no place for him.

The incoming person struck it with one palm, seemingly without exerting any force, and the emptiness grew larger and larger, making people extremely uncomfortable.

Shang Yi pointed out a finger with a smile on his face. This finger seemed to contain endless Zen thoughts, pointing deep in the heart of the attacker.

"Pick your fingers!"

Ruan Yushu's red lips parted slightly, and she looked at Shang Yi in surprise.

But considering that this is a Buddhist disciple who has received the inheritance of the Buddha, the King of Freedom in the World, I think he knows a lot of Buddhist martial arts!

Nianhua pointed at the attacker, who was slightly stagnant in mid-air. He wanted to change his palm skills, but he saw the smile on the corner of Shang Yi's mouth in a trance, and fell into the peace deep in his heart, as if he was about to be saved.

Shang Yi's Buddhist realm and spiritual power are so powerful that even if the visitor is an evil king, it is still difficult to resist Shang Yi's finger-twisting skills.

Therefore, in everyone's eyes, the evil king was like a moth flying into a flame, rushing straight into Shang Yi's casual finger, and immediately lost the slightest breath of life, including the "immortal seal" that he used to run rampant in the world. There was no time to display it.

"Plop~~~"

The sound of Evil Lord Guan Yingde's body falling on the deck made the others react and looked at the middle-aged scholar with slightly white temples and a wide-banded Confucian robe.

A sense of chill and joy arose in the hearts of the Hu Dao people, followed by an unparalleled shock.

Who would have thought that the evil king, who could defeat the Ghost King, Jue Sword, and Ruyi Monk, would die so easily in the hands of the "Sword Immortal" Huai Kong today.

"The Evil Lord Guan should be conferred, the spread of the Immortal Seal is cut off, the third side task is completed, and three hundred good deeds are rewarded. The "Immortal Seal" was taken from the Evil Lord's arms, and cannot be exchanged for good deeds, nor can it be taught to others."

The ferry arrived, and the five people stepped onto the pier and headed to the inn.

Under the arrangements of the inn officials, cavalry were soon escorted into Beijing.

Not long after, a group of people arrived outside the city. Shang Yi looked at the tall city gate and smiled slightly. He had already sensed Meng Qi's aura in the city. It was obvious that Meng Qi had entered the capital one step ahead of them, and he might have also broken out. The name "Shocking Sword" has come.

"Successfully escorted Lu Guan to Beijing. Once the main mission is completed, each person will be rewarded with 200 good deeds. After settling in, go to Xiaoxiang Tower and meet Meng Qi and his party to start the second main mission."

The grand and solemn voice of the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded in the hearts of Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu.

In an elegant mansion, a very good-looking old man looked at the person in front of him in shock: "Did Lu Guan enter the capital alive?"

"Forgive me, Prime Minister, but I really didn't expect that Lu Guan would have a master no less than the Ghost King beside him." Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the man in front of him.

"Which master is it? Didn't you say that Evil Lord also took action?" The old man calmed down.

The person who made the report shook his head: "The evil king was killed. The master was very scary and very young. He was called the 'Sword Immortal' Huai Kong."

"Sword Immortal!?"

The old man repeated the name.

In the courtyard filled with the fragrance of flowers, a graceful veiled woman suddenly stood up: "Is Lu Guan not dead?"

"Yes, it is rumored that Evil Lord took action himself, but was easily killed because he had a very strong master beside him, who is said to be the 'Sword Immortal Sword' Huai Kong."

The woman who reported the report was a little scared and a little disdainful when she talked about the evil king.

"Hmph, isn't he known as the best in the world in immortal sealing techniques...'Sword Immortal'..."

The veiled woman paced back and forth.

In the Star Observation Tower, a white-haired old man looked at the astrolabe in front of him, frowned and said to his disciple:

"It's clear that Lu Guan is going to die, why did a meteor streak past and change the traces?"

"Disciple doesn't know." His disciple couldn't understand it at all.

The white-haired old man whispered to himself: "The Sword Immortal is empty-handed..."'

After entering the city and the post house, Lu Guan waited for the emperor's summons, while Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu found an excuse to visit their old friends and went to the street together.

On the way, Ruan Yushu said something casually:

"That was finger-twisting just now!?"

Shang Yi nodded and said:

"Yes, in a world of reincarnation, I learned it from an old monk who was half-stepping in outdoor scenes. In addition, I have already understood the third form of "Tathagata Palm", 'Nianhua Finger', so this 'Flower Finger' The power is even stronger than that of Shaolin Temple in the real world!”

Ruan Yushu took a deep look at Shang Yi and said:

"As expected of the 'Son of Buddha'."

The streets of the capital intersect vertically and horizontally, forming a chessboard shape. The Xiaoxiang Tower is far away from the post house, but Shang Yi can see the location of Meng Qi and others with his clairvoyance, so he does not need to ask for directions. He takes Ruan Yushu and spends a cup of tea to get there. Xiaoxiang Tower.

"The reputation of the Sword Immortal has spread throughout the capital, and there is no one with false reputation."

He and Ge Huaien stood by the steps of the restaurant, as if they were waiting specially.

Immediately, Meng Qi said:

"There are many people here, let's talk after we get in."

Shang Yi nodded and silently followed Meng Qi and Ge Huaien through the lobby of the restaurant, across the small bridge and flowing water, and arrived at an elegant and quiet courtyard at the back.

"As soon as you entered the city, I got a reminder from the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation."

After closing the door and carefully checking the surroundings, Meng Qi opened his mouth to explain.

This is how collaborative tasks should be…

At this moment, the cold and distant voice of the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation sounded again:

"The second main mission begins. Help Lu Guan regain the emperor's trust and command his troops. If successful, he will be rewarded with 400 good deeds. If he fails, the corresponding good deeds will be deducted."

"Regain the emperor's trust..."

Shang Yi's expression remained unchanged, while Ruan Yushu frowned slightly and looked at Meng Qi:

"Xiao Meng, your main line 'Mission One' should be related to this, right?"

Meng Qi nodded and pointed at the table full of food and wine: "Let's talk while we eat."

Ruan Yushu seemed to be impatient, completely forgetting that he had just asked Meng Qi, and already picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating elegantly.

"Xi Lu was victorious. They stationed troops in the upper reaches of the Pei River and sent envoys to negotiate. The conditions were harsh. The emperor was so angry that he had a stroke and was unconscious."

Meng Qi said calmly:

"Our main mission one is to gain the trust of a certain prince and temporarily prevent peace talks. Now it seems that if we can help the prince we support ascend the throne, main mission two can be successfully completed."

Shang Yi smiled slightly and said:

"Who do you support?"

Meng Qi smiled slightly when he heard this and said:

"We now support the fourth prince. Although he is the main militant, he can also see the situation clearly. He helped us temporarily stop the peace talks when Lu Guan did not arrive, and completed the main task one!

Moreover, after I created a reputation as the 'Shocking Sword' in the capital, the Sword Emperor came to test me. He was the fourth prince's teacher, and he wanted to exchange swordsmanship with me and use him to meet the fourth prince! "

Shang Yi smiled and said:

"Where are the other princes?"

"The crown prince is the orthodox one. He has a national master, a wishful monk, and many courtiers behind him. The fourth prince is a disciple of the Sword Emperor and is quite popular in the world. There are many important officials in the court who secretly communicate with him. The seventh prince is the most trusted by the emperor. , full of poems and books, skilled in bow and horse, but has no foundation in the world. Originally, the left minister of the political hall wanted to belong to him because of the emperor's relationship, but now that the emperor is in coma, I don't know if there is a chance to wake up, and he is alienated from him. "

"However, now he seems to know his shortcomings. He knows how to communicate with courtiers and secretly recruits masters. I suspect that the Queen has secretly entered the capital and is living in the Seventh Prince's Mansion."

"The Sword Emperor's strength is definitely half a step outside. If there are no masters in the imperial city or court, this kind of person can completely influence the political situation, and anyone who refuses to accept it can be assassinated."

"However, the Confucianism of this family is strong, and they have given up all the rituals, music, and imperial books. Those who can be called great Confucianists are not weak, such as the Right Prime Minister Wang Derang, the "Reincarnation Star King", and the half-Confucian and half-Taoist Imperial Master. Master Changle, they all insist on the distinction between legitimate sons and daughters, reject heretics, and despise those who abuse force. If they want to assassinate the emperor and the prince, even the Demon Queen Sword Emperor has to plan for a long time to find an opportunity. "

Shang Yi nodded and said:

"It seems that the prince is now the most powerful and has the best chance of succeeding to the throne!"

Meng Qi smiled confidently:

"The emperor has been in office for many years. He is getting older. He is wary of the prince. He is very unhappy and suppresses him repeatedly. If it were not for the protection of the imperial master, I am afraid that the prince would have been deposed. Therefore, if there is an emperor's will, the same goes for other princes. There is a possibility of ascending to the throne, but after the emperor fell into coma, the right minister, who was always loyal to the emperor, stayed at the Taiji Hall overnight and did not give anyone a chance to tamper with the will. "

Shang Yi sighed and said:

"It seems that I may not be able to wait until the time for the successful reading of the imperial edict.

The prince is not stupid. He knows that the emperor will not pass the throne to him, so he can only take it himself! Maybe the prince has now plotted a famous regicide to seize the throne! "

Meng Qi was shocked when he heard this and said:

"Why didn't I think of this level!?"

Ruan Yushu swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled:

"Isn't this our opportunity? Once the prince kills the king, we will have reason to support the fourth prince in seizing the throne! Then it won't matter what the edict says! Even if the Imperial Master and the others want to support the prince, they can't!"

Shang Yi nodded:

"That's right! So during this period, our focus should not only be on the fourth prince, but we should also pay close attention to the palace, lest we don't know about the emperor's death and be at a disadvantage!

Although our force is very powerful, it is difficult to convince the public with force alone. When the time comes, it will inevitably come to nothing! "(End of chapter)
