The gloomy sky pressed down, heralding the arrival of a blizzard, and the biting cold wind blew across everyone's faces, as if with sharp edges, raging on this desolate land.

The huge moon in the frontier fortress lost its brilliance in the dark clouds, hanging dimly in the eastern sky.

A group of people took advantage of the night to arrive at the North City Gate silently. A gap was squeezed through the tall side door, and a group of people passed through the narrow gap one after another. Soon, the vermilion lacquered gate was tightly closed again. up.

More than a dozen people galloped nervously on their horses, never noticing the figure that sneaked into them after leaving the city gate.

The candles were dimly lit, and Situ Yanfeng was nervously arranging personnel scheduling, the old wrinkles on his forehead were sunken one by one, and his cloudy eyes showed a tired posture under the light.

The food on the table has been hot and cold, and has never been touched.

The old butler walked in, ordered the servants to bring down the cold food, and offered a cup of hot tea with trembling steps.

"General, please see Mr. Xiao."

"Xiao Rongzhi? Let him in."

"it is good."

The old butler stepped back, and soon, a man in green clothes opened the door and walked in, bowing to Situ Yanfeng.

"General Situ."

"Well, do you have a clue about the Spirit Blade?"

"Exactly. After going home, I looked through the classics and found a record about the Spirit Blade by a strange person a hundred years ago. It talked about some things about the Spirit Blade. According to the records, the Spirit Blade must be sacrificed to a pure-blooded Spirit Race Only then can the front be opened, and then blood sacrifices will be performed to recognize the master, and the sheath can be cast with Nanming black iron to suppress its evil spirits. Suppressing it with blood, many people died prematurely due to exhaustion. Although the spirit blade recorded in it has multiple evil spirits, it is nothing more than backlashing its owner, making it unconscious, and then driving it out of control to slaughter. There has never been a single spirit blade The massacre of living beings happened. Now that the spirit blade is possessed by demons, killing the master and massacring the city, there must be something wrong with one of these steps."

"There is some truth to that."

The two thought about each other for a long time, and Situ Yanfeng asked:

"I'm afraid I know what the problem is."

"Oh? Tell me, general."

"Let me ask you, what will happen if the blood of the spirit race sacrificed is not pure, half human and half spirit?"

"This, the spirit race is the gathering of the spirits of all things. It breathes together with the heaven and the earth. It is not involved in good and evil. It is the purest thing. It can be said that it is the spiritual consciousness of the heaven and the earth. Only then can the sword be sacrificed without being polluted by the evil spirit of the spirit blade. If the blood is impure, the mind will be unstable, after the sacrificial knife, the spiritual consciousness will be impure and difficult to refine, and if it is caused by the evil spirit of the spiritual blade itself, its human consciousness may go mad!"

"In this way, it makes sense. The person who made the knife used a half-spirit sacrificial knife, so it is impossible for his human consciousness to be affected by the evil spirit of the spirit blade, and his mind will become chaotic and go mad to slaughter living beings."

"Yes, according to this theory, the remaining human consciousness is the first owner of this spirit blade. However, it is only a wisp of consciousness, and it should be difficult to survive for a long time. It will gradually disappear within seven days. How could it be It has survived for so long and has not weakened?"

Situ Yanfeng's eyes sank, looking at Xiao Rongzhi who was looking at him in confusion, sighed helplessly, stood up, and looked at the dark white moon outside the window.

"I believe that Mr. is a trustworthy person. Up to now, I have to tell you some things, but I hope that after listening to you, you will keep a secret, wait and see what happens, and don't act rashly. After all, the enemy must have a priority .”

"The general is painstaking, and someone like Xiao naturally knows about it."

"I'm going to the Cangming Mansion. I, the old man, know everything I should know and what I shouldn't know, but I can't say it out loud. When the enemy is in front of me, the army's morale must not be disturbed. I'm getting old. Young people are not prudent enough, so it is really difficult for them to take on such a big task. I hope that sir can understand the painstaking efforts of the old man, and help the old man keep this Cangyue City no matter what."

"The general is serious, this is the duty of the subordinate."

"Although I am old, I still have good ears and eyesight, but I still know a little bit about the affairs in Beijing. This General Chi was brought by me back then. He is talented and has a good eye. I like this bitter cold place in northern Saibei, and I insisted on returning to Beijing, so I was transferred to Anning City. Alas, there are bones three feet under the snow. He is still young, guarding this land of the dead, and the people who came with him back then are one by one. It's normal to be unable to endure death, but he still takes human life too seriously. When he was in Anning City, he had a beloved male favorite. Ashamed to say, he happened to be the illegitimate child of a distant cousin of mine. That bastard Dongshi, who was flirtatious when he was young and not doing business properly, once told me about this matter. The mother of the child was a member of the Spirit Race. , actually sent the child to Chi Muge absurdly, and later, an accident happened in Anning City, and the child disappeared with Chi Muge. In the end, I don’t know why it was transferred to the Shi family. Robbed away, there is no trace of them anymore.

It wasn't until I went to Cangming Mansion that day, saw people coming from the palace, and questioned me again and again, that I realized that the child had integrated the power of the tree of life and was driving away parasites for the city of Anning. The news spread to the palace, saying that the child With a spirit blade at his side and a half-spirit person, he can just use him to attack the spirit blade. Now that there is no one in the court, the political situation is turbulent, and strong enemies are outside, they need such a bargaining chip so much, so they use the spirit blade. Ren made a deal with Cang Ming, asking him to kill Chi Muge after he retreated from the enemy, and then tell the world that Chi Muge was killed in battle, and that he would fight both inside and outside, killing two birds with one stone.

So they went to the city to kidnap the child under the guise of a pretense, and used him as a sacrifice for the spirit blade. On the one hand, they sent people to delay, and on the other hand, they rushed to send the spirit blade to Cangyue City before Chi Muge. The Cangming Blood Sacrifice failed. That's why today's spirit blade is enchanted. "

"This, this is simply absurd! The majestic Cangyue City Lord, actually did such a despicable act!"

"Oh, it's useless to talk too much. Now it seems that the child's mind was driven away by the evil spirit of the spirit blade and the resentment of thousands of undead in Cangyue City, so he slaughtered the living beings."

"Well, it seems that this is indeed the case. If he is really a half-spirited person, his human consciousness will be weaker than ordinary people, and he will be extremely unstable. If he is added with the aura of the tree of life, he will live forever. If things go on like this, Wouldn't I, Cangyue City, be perishing in the hands of this spirit blade!"

"Yeah, now only by stabilizing his mind can we stop killing innocent people! This kid has a close relationship with Chi Muge. I hope his arrival can bring some turning points for this matter."

"What the general said is that I'm afraid there is only one way."

"What I'm worried about right now is that the kid Chi Muge is too paranoid. If the relationship between the two of them is really that close, if the people in the palace secretly use that kid's sacrificial knife and involve the lord of Cangyue City, will he be able to do that?" If you vent your anger on this, it will cause even greater disasters!"

"The point is, now that Cang Ming is dead, who will bear the responsibility..."

"Mr. Xiao, this is exactly what I want to tell you. My old man is almost seventy years old this year, and time is running out. I..."

"Old general, this can't be done!"

"There is nothing I can't do. It is my lifelong ambition to protect Cangyue City. Now that I have died well, I have nothing to worry about."

"Old General!"

Looking at Situ Yanfeng's relieved expression, Xiao Rongzhi knew that it would be useless to talk too much, but she felt resentful in her chest, and she couldn't help crying.

"Would you like to help me, sir?"

"I'm determined to die without hesitation!"

"Okay, I have already sent someone to meet Chi Muge. After a while, I will go out of the city to meet with him alone. It is best if we can reach an agreement. If the negotiation fails, I will send someone to inform you immediately, and you will lead all the people in the city to stand behind the city wall." Come on, when he enters the city, he will definitely be moved, you have to seize the opportunity, no matter what, you must defend Cangyue City!"

"Subordinate, obey!"
