…………

As darkness approached, Gu Xu and his party arrived at the Yishan camp.

The evil spirit here is obviously much stronger than outside.

Dark clouds covered the entire sky, and the forest was filled with gray mist. There was a strong chill in the air, which made people feel a strong discomfort during breathing.

Gu Xu knew that mortals could not stay in such a place for too long.

They cannot use true energy to block the erosion of Yin Qi like monks.

The Yin Qi will unknowingly seep into their bodies, annihilating their sanity and swallowing their souls, turning them into zombie-like monsters.

"You are finally here."

When Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan stepped out of the carriage one after another, a familiar figure walked through rows of makeshift houses and came to around them.

"Master Chen," Gu Xu immediately nodded and said, "How is the battle going today?"

The person who came was none other than Chen Jisheng.

At this time, Chen Jisheng's "Qi Yao Suit" looked wrinkled and stained with a lot of mud and dust. He was holding a half-old kettle in his hand, and he could see obvious tiredness on his face.

"According to Master Wei's order, today I formed a team with two other Fourth Realm monks and headed to Osmanthus Village at the foot of Yishan Mountain. We planned to rescue the surviving villagers there," Chen Jisheng said. Tightening the lid of the kettle, he said expressionlessly, "However, when we arrived at Osmanthus Village, we found that the information was wrong - there was no living person there at all, and it had become a complete ghost village."

"Is the information wrong?" Shi Xiaohan next to him felt a little confused, "I remember that there are several monks in Qingzhou Prefecture who are good at Tianji Technique..."

"Tian Ji Technique has its limitations. "Gu Xu explained, "It is not truly omniscient.

"Many powerful people at a high level can interfere with or even block the secrets of heaven with their own abilities." For example, because Kongxuan Sanren once placed a ban on the Laoshan area, the Chief Secretary cannot observe the Laoshan ruins through Tianji Technique. "

"Then the error in the intelligence near Yishan was due to the interference of the snow girl? "Shi Xiaohan touched his chin, thoughtfully.

"Probably. "

"The situation in Yishan is much more serious than we imagined," Chen Jisheng's expression was particularly solemn. "Because the intelligence is inaccurate, the monks cannot predict the location and number of ghosts as accurately as they usually do when doing tasks. , every battle is like crossing a river by feeling for stones.

"In addition, the supplies sent from the capital were much less than expected. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the eldest son of the Emperor and Lord Wei Jiusi Qianhu donated generously, which did not affect the war effort of the monks of the Exorcism Department.Fighting and daily practice. "

"His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor? "Gu Xu was slightly surprised when he heard this name.

"That's right," Chen Jisheng nodded, "In the past few days, His Royal Highness the eldest son of the Emperor has been fighting side by side with the monks in the Yishan camp. , not only killed many monsters, but also personally rescued several officers back to the camp. I was lucky enough to take a look at him from a distance in the crowd today, and he was indeed as extraordinary as the rumors said. "

"His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor, actually came in person! "Shi Xiaohan next to him couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

Chai Biao, a tall man standing behind them, was even more stunned on the spot, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes, and murmured to himself: " I never thought that one day I would fight side by side with Prince Da Qi in my lifetime..."

Seeing the reactions of everyone around him, Gu Xu secretly commented in his heart: It seems that this eldest prince is in the Qi people. He has a high prestige in his heart.

However, maybe it is because he is a time traveler, maybe because he has heard the fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen pretending to be a female voice to deceive his opponent in "The Realm of Discussing the Tao", maybe because he knows. The Emperor of Daqi had some ulterior secrets... Gu Xu did not have the same awe for the Daqi royal family as his companions.

At this moment, a man dressed as a guard came to them. He bowed to Gu Xu and said, "Master Gu, His Highness wants to see you. "

The eyes of everyone present fell on Gu Xu.

"I just remembered that you still have the status of a prince's attendant. "Shi Xiaohan tugged on Gu Xu's sleeves and pouted. At this moment, she suddenly felt that the royal children were not as great as they thought.

Chai Biao, a tall and middle-aged man, unconsciously said He took two steps back. He deeply felt that the handsome young man in front of him was not from the same world as him. It was just an accident that the young man would follow the path of glory. He will continue to move forward on the broad road; and he will return to the remote small county town, watching his deeds through the imperial newspaper in the dim and narrow office, silently imagining that he can have such an outstanding son.

A moment later, Gu Xu met the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan in a simple wooden house, as well as the royal minister Fan Cheng and Qianhu Wei Jiusi beside him.

This house was temporarily built using magic.

The furnishings in the house are simple.

A large rough table and a few hard wooden chairs make up the room. A temporary conference room.

When Gu Xu stepped into the room, Xiao Shangyuan immediately stood up to greet him with a smile; when Gu Xu was about to bow his hands, Xiao Shangyuan immediately grabbed his arm and said repeatedly. : "Brother Gu Xian, there is no need to be polite. ”

The appearance of Xiao Shangyuan is similar to that of his younger brother Xiao Shangzhen. He can be considered handsome in appearance, but his eyebrows are a little less childish and the outline of his face is tougher.

Although His Royal Highness the eldest prince looks very amiable and he calls Gu Xu a brother-in-law., let him throw away his official position and etiquette.

But Gu Xu noticed that Xiao Shangyuan’s eyes were stern, revealing an unquestionable arrogance - as if he was a majestic lion entrenched in his territory. As long as someone dared to offend him, , will reveal its gleaming fangs.

After sitting down, Xiao Shangyuan got straight to the point and talked about the business.

He took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms, handed it to Gu Xu, and said to him: "Brother Gu Xian, is this 'Fengxing Talisman' your work?"

Gu Xu took the talisman and observed it carefully.

This talisman paper is not his.

The handwriting on the paper was a bit jerky, and it was definitely not written by him.

But Ma Xingkong’s improvement idea that day was indeed his handiwork.

He has never taught anyone how to draw the improved version of "Feng Xing Fu".

So in this world, he should be the only one who can draw such a "popular charm".

"This talisman was copied by us, not the original version." Seemingly sensing Gu Xu's confused look, the eldest prince smiled and explained in a gentle tone, "The earliest 'Fengxing Talisman' ', I picked it up from the waste basket of the Exorcism Department of Qingzhou Prefecture. At that time, Uncle Fan was sure that it was definitely made by the master.

"In order to find out the talisman behind it. To become a master, we have spent a lot of time and experienced many twists and turns.

"Now, we have finally found you, Master Gu!"

"I can't imagine that at this young age, you have such profound cultivation of Talismans. ! I'm afraid even the National Master will be envious of your Talisman talent! "

Hearing the words of the eldest prince, Gu Xu also remembered that he had indeed used a "Wind Talisman" on the way to Qingzhou Mansion, and then threw it into the wastebasket. .

“Last October, His Highness was also in Qingzhou Mansion? "He asked.

"Yes," Xiao Shangyuan replied frankly, "At that time, I saw the Yishan Snow Girl making trouble in Qingzhou and harming the people, so I asked my father for help, hoping to use my hands to The sword eliminates harm for the people.

“But I don’t want others to misunderstand my motives and think that I do this kind of thing just to pursue fame. So I concealed my identity and whereabouts.

“It’s a pity The snow girl was much more powerful than I imagined. I tried my best and failed to defeat her. Instead, I was bruised and embarrassed. If Mr. He, the national master's junior brother, hadn't rescued me with his miraculous power of "shrinking the ground into an inch", I'm afraid my soul would have become the food of the snow girl. ”

It turns out that He Yiqun rushed to Yishan in order to save the prince!

Gu Xu thought silently.

He only heard Xiao Shangyuan pause. After a moment, he smiled slightly and continued: "But I have never been a person willing to admit defeat easily. I will not give up because of a temporary failure.Abandon my desire to eliminate harm for the people.

"And I also realized that with my own strength, I cannot compete with the Yishan Snow Girl, who has a strength close to that of a saint.

"So now I am here He set up a camp and hoped to fight with the monks here to eliminate the serious problem of the Snow Girl for the people of Qingzhou Prefecture. "

"Your Highness really cares about people's livelihood," Gu Xu complimented in a flat tone, "If the people of Qingzhou Prefecture knew about His Highness's thoughts, they would definitely be extremely grateful to His Highness. "

I have to say that the eldest prince speaks beautifully and is very good at winning people's hearts. Compared with his childish brother, there is a world of difference.

"But Brother Gu Xian, I don't care about Qingzhou today. I only care about the thoughts of the people of the house," Xiao Shangyuan bent down slightly and stared intently into Gu Xu's eyes, "I want to fight side by side with Gu Xiandi tomorrow and see with my own eyes Gu Xiandi's Talisman cultivation. I wonder if Gu Xiandi is willing. promise? ”

Xiao Shangyuan’s words left a certain amount of room. He did not directly ask Gu Xu to stand in line in the fight to win the throne and become his follower.

But this also means that this is A request that cannot be refused.

After all, this is a critical moment in the fight against Yuki-onna.

Once he refuses, his words may be taken out of context and used as leverage. /p>

“Your Highness has a mandate, how dare I disobey it? "Gu Xu responded with a smile.

He does not want to get involved in the murky waters of the royal family's succession.

So if the eldest prince wants to be his brother, he must abide by the rule.

"Then I look forward to Brother Gu Xian showing off his power tomorrow! "Xiao Shangyuan's expression remained calm, and there was no emotional change on his face.

Besides, Fan Cheng frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about something; Wei Jiusi smiled, showing a hint of appreciation for Gu Xu

…………

A few minutes later, Gu Xu left this simple room.

At this time, he saw Shi Xiaohan. She was holding a food box and sitting gloomily in the corner.

The cold wind ruffled her black hair and made the hairpin on her head jingle, but she didn't care.

…………

The top of Yishan Mountain.

This is an isolated world of ice and snow.

The delicate and beautiful girl is sitting in a plain white dress. existOn a huge ice crystal stone.

Her appearance is exquisite and flawless, and her fair skin is glowing with luster, as if carved from ice and snow.

But her eyes were empty and dull, like two black holes.

At this moment, a white wolf with pure and flawless fur appeared next to him, leaving a short middle-aged man who was frozen into an ice sculpture next to her.

The man's eyes were wide open and fear was written on his face.

It was Feng Buqi who had just been captured.

Seeing such a scene, the girl stood up from the ice crystal, stretched out a finger, and gently touched Feng Buqi's forehead.

Then, she pulled out a blur of light and shadow from Feng Buqi's body.

That is Feng Buqi’s soul.

In an instant, the ice sculpture shattered all over the ground.

The girl closed her eyes, took a gentle breath, and sucked Feng Buqi's soul into her body.

When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were no longer empty and lifeless, but glowed with brilliance.

Human beings have their own troubles, and demons also have their own difficulties.

Since transforming into a ghost, she must regularly devour human souls in order to maintain her own soul.

Otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

But deep in her heart, there is still some childish persistence-

"Don't hurt innocent souls."

Those white wolves, both The minions that help her hunt humans are also her eyes.

She can use those white wolves to observe the world with her "wisdom eyes".

In the world seen by the "wisdom eye", everyone is either surrounded by black energy or glowing with golden light.

The golden light represents merit, and the black energy represents sin.

Everyone thought that she was killing for no reason.

But in fact, she will choose people with extremely strong black energy as her food.

For example, this guy named Feng Buqi, who looks sanctimonious on the outside, actually killed his brother and sister-in-law in order to obtain all of his father's inheritance.

Of course, doing so cannot cover up the fact that she committed murder, but can only slightly alleviate her guilt.

For many years, she has been a ghost, adhering to this stupid principle.

But today, she found that she seemed to be unable to control her instinctive desires.

Because in that mountain forest, she saw a young man who looked a little familiar and exuded an alluring fragrance.

I really want to eat him.

But in the vision of the "intelligent eye", the young man's body was shining with a dazzling golden light of merit.

Patience.

Patience.

Patience.

She told herself over and over in her heart.

Lu Shiyao, you were once a person.

If youIf you eat him on impulse, what's the difference between you and a mindless beast?
