Fan Cheng did not speak immediately.
However, a bold guess emerged in his mind
"Perhaps this is caused by luck"
He thought that the Feng Shui master in Dahuang was A group of monks who fight by controlling luck, His Majesty the Emperor can also control the national destiny of the Qi Dynasty with the help of the "Tai'a Sword".
If the Feng Shui master is not careful during the process of casting spells, he may be haunted by evil spirits, possessed by evil spirits, or even be eroded by bad luck and become weak.
The scale of luck controlled by Emperor Da Qi is undoubtedly much greater than that of ordinary Feng Shui masters.
Then he might also suffer the backlash of luck
However, after thinking of this, Fan Cheng immediately stopped his thoughts and did not think about it any further.
He felt that his idea was a bit rebellious.
Because in the minds of the people of Da Qi, His Majesty the Emperor is a god-like existence.
How could things that only torture ordinary people, such as weakness, illness, and obsession, exist in His Majesty the Emperor?
Many people even believe that the emperors of the past dynasties were After his death, he still exists in this world in the form of a soul, quietly protecting this country in a place invisible to the world.
While Fan Cheng was frowning and thinking deeply, the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan suddenly shook his head gently and said, "Maybe I am overthinking."
Speaking of Here, he turned and walked through the foyer, bypassed the screen wall, and walked straight towards the depths of the courtyard.
Fan Cheng followed closely behind.
The vermilion door slowly closed, and two metal puppets wearing silver armor quietly hid in the shadows next to it.
This topic ends here.
The two quickly put the confusion in their minds away, as if it had never existed.
Only the emerald green glazed tiles still glow under the early spring sun.
The northernmost neighborhood in Luojing City is called "Fengcaifang".
Standing at this place, looking up to the north, you can clearly see the tall and majestic city walls, the neatly arranged crenelations, and the gate tower and arrow tower further away.
Although this place is called "Fengcai", it is actually a slum area in Luojing City. The buildings are dilapidated and old, and the walls are full of traces of wind, rain erosion and man-made destruction. From day to night, the place is filled with the voices of passers-by, the cries of vendors, and the shouts of neighbors, which are almost never quiet.
But today it is unusually quiet here.
A black carriage drove slowly through the alley.
When it appeared, pedestrians involuntarily retreated to both sides of the road.
The reason is simple.
On the side wall of this carriage, there is a silver-white pattern shaped like a star chart painted on it.
That’s bigThe logo of Qi Exorcist Division.
For the practitioners of the Exorcism Department, the people of Daqi generally have deep feelings in their hearts. They admire the practitioners' extraordinary ability to fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and control the wind and rain, and they also admire their ability to slay demons. An act to eliminate demons and protect the peace and tranquility of the country.
So even if the officials on the carriage behaved very low-key, with no guard of honor and no one blowing gongs to clear the way, passers-by in the alley did not dare to make any noise.
In their hearts, they will also be curious about the mission actions of the monks of the Exorcist Department
"You said that after the adults of the Exorcist Department leave the city this time, they will go to Which way will we go to deal with some kind of ghost?" Someone covered their mouths and whispered.
"Could it be that he was going to Bei Mang Mountain to deal with the notorious Mang Mountain Ghost King?"
"Probably not. I heard that the Mang Mountain Ghost King was very powerful. In the past, The imperial mausoleum of the Great Chu Dynasty occupies a large area, and ordinary monks are unable to deal with it."
"Maybe there is a saint hidden in this carriage."
"It is impossible for a strong man of the saint level to travel in such a simple and unadorned carriage. It must be at least a gold carriage drawn by eight white horses, and it must be inlaid with pearls and jade to be worthy of a saint. "
"What if the saint has an important mission and doesn't want to be too ostentatious? I heard a story told by a scholar in a tavern a few days ago, about a strong saint in disguise. He became an ordinary saint, sneaked into the brothel, and had a dispute with other guests. Later, everyone found out that the madam here was a female ghost, and the other women were corpses controlled by her. If the saint hadn't taken action in time, all the guests would be killed. If he is saved, then everyone will become the food of this female ghost after nightfall."
"Why is the version of the story I heard a little different? I remember it was a strong saint who went to a brothel hiding his identity. , met the maidservant who looked down upon others."
""
However, to everyone's surprise, the black carriage with the logo of the Exorcist Department did not go straight towards He drove towards the North City Gate and stopped in front of a simple little restaurant on the side of an alley.
"Is there a ghost hidden in this restaurant?"
"It does not mean that Luojing City is protected by His Majesty the Emperor and is absolutely safe. There cannot be any ghosts and ghosts"
Gu san "Maybe they are not here to catch ghosts, but to deal with internal affairs. For example, a subordinate absented himself from work for no reason and secretly hid in this place to drink."
""
The people who are keen on eating melons are undoubtedly deeply surprised by this.
Soon, a young woman wearing a light green dress walked out of the black carriage.
She is tall and thin, with clean eyebrows and spotless clothes. Standing in this dirty, noisy and smelly alley, she looks out of place with the surrounding environment.
Although her appearance is not the most outstanding in the Da Qi Dynasty, she still makes everyone around her shine. completeUnder normal circumstances, it would be impossible for such a fresh and beautiful girl to appear in such a back alley filled with dust, garbage and obscenities.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, is this the place?" The woman in the green dress turned her head and said softly to the carriage compartment.
"That's right." A calm voice came from the carriage.
Subsequently, a young man in a green shirt also walked out of the carriage.
When they saw his appearance, the people around him were even more distracted for a moment. They just felt like they were dazzled, and they all thought about how such an immortal figure could appear in this market.
The young man was playing with a copper coin in his hand.
Under the sunshine, it glows with dazzling brilliance.
Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin did not pay attention to the looks of others.
They walked straight into the restaurant and tried to find the hiding place of the ghost.
According to his previous habits when performing tasks, Shangguan Jin first enveloped the entire restaurant with his spiritual consciousness, trying to locate the place where the evil spirit was strongest.
But with the powerful spiritual perception of a fourth-level monk, she searched several times but found nothing.
Like other places in the capital, the entire restaurant is filled with the rich "Imperial Dragon Qi", which comes from the "Tianlong Formation" and originates from the dragon veins under Luojing City. With his masculine and domineering momentum, he drove away the evil spirits in the capital.
This made her frown.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, can you find any clues about the ghost?" She pondered for a moment and asked Gu Xu again.
He did not answer immediately.
His eyes were solemn. He first glanced around the restaurant, then glanced at a waiter carrying a plate, and said to Shangguan Jin, "Fellow Taoist Shangguan, do you think this waiter looks familiar?"
After hearing what he said, Shangguan Jin looked in the direction he said.
Under the urging of the boss, the waiter ran out of the kitchen carrying a plate with dishes, almost tripping over a chair leg.
He is young, not tall, with a medium build, his face is a little sickly pale, there is an obvious black mole next to his eye, and he is wearing a gray cloth stained with oil.
"I have no impression." Shangguan Jin shook his head and said that he had never seen this person before.
"If I remember correctly, this man looks almost exactly like an exorcism official from nearly twenty years ago," Gu Xu said calmly, "His name is Wu Danggui. Because of his outstanding talent in cultivation, he was selected into the Shenji Camp and worked with the geniuses at that time to slay demons across the country.
"Later, the previous generation of Shenji Camp was trying to kill ghosts and ghosts. The entire army was wiped out, and Senior Wu was naturally not spared either. "
"Shangguan Jin, the monk of the previous generation of Shenji Camp" was surprised.
"That's right," Gu Xu nodded and replied, "II have looked through some personnel files in the history of the Exorcism Department before, and I remember the portraits of each of them, as well as the text descriptions of each of them in the files. For example, the description of Senior Wu in the file is Wu Danggui, with a moderate build. , face is white and beardless, there are moles at the corners of the eyes, thin eyes and thin lips.
“It’s just that I feel very strange now
“If Senior Wu had narrowly escaped death in a desperate situation, then why has his appearance changed so much nearly twenty years later? There is no change at all, no trace of aging at all.”
Shangguan Jin’s first reaction was that Senior Wu might have been tricked by ghosts and turned into a corpse.
But she quickly rejected this speculation. After all, the waiter did not have the sinister aura of a ghost, but had a normal body temperature and a continuous heartbeat.
" Maybe he is not Senior Wu, but a person with a similar appearance," Shangguan Jin guessed.
But her tone did not sound too unsure.
Gu Xu remained silent.
He took out the copper coins in his pocket again, trying to find the answer through divination.
However, at this moment, the waiter who looked exactly like Senior Wu Danggui delivered the dishes. After arriving at the guest's table, they suddenly quickened their pace and hurried towards the backyard of the restaurant.
Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin glanced at each other and followed.
sI'm very sorry. I had an acute gastroenteritis attack a few days ago and my symptoms were a bit serious, so I delayed writing until now, making everyone wait for a long time qaq
