The "demon body", a clan of demons and immortals that are said to originate from the upper realm, is an extremely rare physique.
People with "demon body" are often physically strong and capable of carrying cauldrons. When the bloodline is fully activated, it can even become invulnerable and can regenerate severed limbs.
Since Dahuang’s cultivation system focuses on tempering yin energy and strengthening true essence, there are very few methods that specifically target the physical body. Before the monks become saints, their physical fitness is basically the same as that of ordinary people.
There are even some people who are even weaker than ordinary people because they have been eroded by evil spirits all year round.
Rare things are more valuable.
In an environment where monks generally valued the true essence and ignored the physical body, Shi Xiaohan's "demon body" undoubtedly attracted the attention of the Ghost King of Mangshan.
As a serious "collector addict", it has been committed to turning practitioners with different talents and proficiency in different spells into their own "ghost attendants". Swordsmen, swordsmen, sticks, and Gu cultivators are all It has taken it into its possession, but it still lacks someone with strong physical strength.
Therefore, when Xiaohan appeared in its field of vision, it kept sending Hu Yun to keep an eye on her.
Since Shi Xiaohan’s bloodline was still in a dormant state and her power had not yet been revealed, she also asked Hu Yun to teach her sword skills and let her practice basic moves over and over again every day until she was exhausted. , in order to activate the potential in her body, her increasing terrifying appetite is a manifestation of the gradual awakening of the "demon body" bloodline.
According to the Mangshan Ghost King’s original idea, after the “Tianlong Formation” was destroyed and Luojing City fell into chaos, Hu Yun could bring her into the formation and make her his new Minions.
It's a pity
When he thought that his plan was ruined by Gu Xu and Zhao Yan, the Mangshan Ghost King couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger.
It thought it was merciful and let these two young men go, but it didn’t expect that they broke the space restriction in the royal treasury, appeared in Renfang in Luojing, and destroyed the transformation. The large formation also beat Hu Yun to the point of dying.
Then the sudden arrival of Xu Man, the master of Jiange Pavilion, cut off the connection between it and Hu Yun.
It can be said that if you steal the chicken, you will lose the rice. If you lose your wife, you will lose the army.
"I promised Zhao Changying and Luo Chuan not to do anything to you this time," it thought angrily, "but I will not show mercy to you next time I meet you."
p>In Luojing City.
Gu Xu followed Wang Guanyu, the commander of the imperial guards, and walked along the wide sky street towards the direction of Zichen Palace.
Monks wearing silver armor and holding swords surrounded him, exuding a majestic and solemn aura.
Gu Xu was not wearing shackles.
But when the silver-armored monks all pointed their weapons at him, he felt an immense pressure that not only sealed his true energy, making him unable to cast any spells, nor could he He took out any items from Xianyun's residence and restricted his movement within a certain range, preventing him from escaping in other directions.He could only follow Commander Wang to the imperial city obediently.
Gu Xu knew that this was the "Sealing Immortal Formation" specially used to deal with practitioners. It relied on the power of the "Tianlong Formation" and had to be authorized by the emperor by the imperial guard monks in Luojing City. It can be displayed under certain conditions.
But somehow, perhaps because of his higher rank, he realized that his "time" and "world" were not blocked by this "immortal sealing formation". If he wanted to, he could still use it.
Of course, Gu Xu did not act rashly.
Because he knew that once he chose to break the formation and escape, he would be completely on the opposite side of the Qi court, and there would be no room for maneuver.
Da Qi occupies the vastest and richest territory in the wilderness, and has rich cultivation resources, a large number of practitioners, and powerful military power.
If we become an enemy, not only will the subsequent path of cultivation become confusing due to the loss of resource support, but it will also be difficult to find a place in the entire wilderness.
If possible, Gu Xu still wants to try to resolve the misunderstanding and clear the grievances.
"Master Wang, can I ask," Gu Xu asked Wang Guanyu as he walked, "on what charge did the emperor order my arrest?"
"Treason," Wang Guanyu replied coldly, "colluding with ghosts and intending to commit rebellion."
"But Lord Wang, I have been doing my best since the ghosts broke into the city. He tried his best to slay demons and demons," Gu Xu showed an innocent expression. "Not only did he get rid of Hu Yun, Wu Danggui and others who were lurking in the capital and were turned into ghost servants by the ghost king of Mangshan, but he also killed He killed dozens of wandering souls and wild ghost-level ghosts.
"Pavilion Master Xu of the Sword Pavilion can vouch for me.
"If I am really an accomplice of the ghost, then if I do this, wouldn't it mean that I am backstabbing my teammates?"
Wang Guanyu remained silent and ignored him.
But Gu Xu could sense that Commander Wang's mood was definitely not as calm as it seemed.
So he continued, "Mr. Wang, do you know who reported me to the Emperor? Does he have conclusive evidence?"
"I am very worried that the Emperor has been accused by some "You are deceived by people with evil intentions"
"No one reported you," Wang Guanyu turned his head and looked at him with some irritation and said, "This is the first decree issued by the emperor in the Qianyang Palace after he finished his retreat. An order. "
"In other words, there is actually no evidence for this matter." Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Wang Guanyu thought for a long time and replied, "In the emperor's place, maybe there is Bar. ”
Hearing his words, Gu Xu instantly understood that the charge on my head was an “unfounded” charge; it turned out that there was no “treason” at all, it was just that Emperor Tianxing wanted me to die.< /p>
He deeply realized that in feudal dynasties under the rule of imperial power, especially feudal dynasties where the monarch himself had extremely strong personal strength, rule by man was often greater than rule by law.Cure.
When the emperor wants to punish a person's crime, he does not need to base it on facts and use the law as the criterion.
But it all depends on the emperor's golden words, life and death are unpredictable.
Gu Xu didn’t know how he offended Emperor Tianxing.
But since the emperor wanted to punish him for no reason, there would no longer be a place for him in the huge Qi Dynasty.
Unknowingly, he thought of the desolate scene in Qingzhou Luzhai, the four words "Be careful of Tianxing" written by Kong Xuan Sanren, and thought of Zhao Yan's mother Qu who was assassinated in the capital. Madam
It is better to run away than wait for death.
He nodded to Commander Wang and stopped talking.
At this moment, his eyes turned deep indigo blue.
All the sounds in Luojing City, people's voices, sobs, shouts, the sound of horse hooves, footsteps, the sound of metal collision, and the sound of wheels running over the bluestone pavement, were all dragged out for a long time. , the rhythm becomes slower and slower, and then gradually returns to silence.
The dust floating in the air was frozen in the sunlight, shining faintly.
The front legs of the silver-armored monks were hanging in the air, and before Commander Wang could turn his head back, they all became as motionless as statues.
The power of "time" is activated. ,,
