Chapter 125 The Imperial Envoy Arrives
Chapter 126 The Imperial Envoy Arrives
It's approaching evening.
Among the Hundred Thousand Mountains, four figures wearing masks and black robes were passing by rapidly.
These four figures were the imperial envoys sent from the capital to arrest Song Tiangang, as reported by Wang Taiyu to Emperor Dakang.
Previously, these four imperial envoys chased Song Tiangang into the Shiwan Mountains.
But Song Tiangang does have many methods.
The four of them tried their best to hurry, but still lost sight of Song Tiangang.
"Chenwu."
Someone whispered, "It's getting dark. We can't stay in these mountains for long. You decide whether to leave or stay."
The man called Chen Wu was tall and strong, and the mask he wore had faint dragon-shaped patterns on it.
Those born in the year of the Dragon are ranked fifth.
Naturally it is called Chenwu.
Chen Wu said indifferently: "Your Majesty ordered us to investigate the taxation of Xuzhou City. Now that the matter has been investigated, we should arrest Song Tiangang. Now that he has escaped to the Shiwan Mountains, we must give an explanation whether he is alive or dead."
There needs to be an explanation.
Since His Majesty has given the order, they naturally dare not slack off.
You can leave, but you can't just leave like this.
Someone said thoughtfully: "I saw the black sun passing through the sky earlier, and Song Tiangang used some means to chase it."
"We are different from monks after all, and we were left behind by them just now."
"If we can find the black sun, we may be able to find Song Tiangang."
Mention the black sun.
Even Chen Wu's tone was a little solemn: "That black sun is extremely strange. When it appeared, I actually had the urge to obtain it and occupy it."
"Moreover, when the black sun passed over Song Tiangang's head, it seemed to say something."
"Wei San, Xu Qi, and You Eleven, did you hear that?"
"No."
The three men shook their heads.
The four of them were so busy chasing after Song Tiangang that they had no time to pay attention to the black sun.
Even Chen Wu didn’t hear it, let alone them.
"That's all."
Chen Wu shook his head and said as he flew away: "There are remnants of people in these Hundred Thousand Mountains. After dark, those remnants will be as bright as torches in our eyes. If we can learn from them where the Black Sun has gone, we may still be able to find Song Tiangang."
"What if I can't find it?"
"Isn't that better? Fleeing in fear of crime is a more serious crime."
"Song Tiangang escaped, but the Song family couldn't escape. Your Majesty just needs an explanation."
"Then can we..."
"Official business is the most important thing. There are plenty of people in Xuzhou City."
……
the other side.
In Jingxian Temple.
Chen Huangpi smeared Fanqing Fuming Powder on gauze, then wrapped it around his eyes and tied it firmly behind his head.
"It's pretty solid."
Chen Huangpi nodded with some satisfaction: "With this external ointment, my eyes will recover in two days at most. Then I will go to the old temple to see the second master, and then Ah Gui. It has been so kind to me, I can't let it down."
Although Song Tiangang is dead.
But the soul disappeared inexplicably.
Without the nourishment of souls, the murderous ghosts in the Book of Souls cannot wake up.
This made Chen Huangpi extremely worried.
The brass lamp said lazily, "What are you afraid of? Aren't there people with disabilities in the Ten Thousand Mountains? As the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. When the time comes, we will kill them all and feed them to the ghosts without saving them."
"No, no."
Chen Huangpi shook his head and said, "Master's spirit has transformed into the sun and the moon, which is equivalent to the heavenly way of the hundred thousand mountains."
"Master said that all the good things are reserved for me."
"The Hundred Thousand Mountains are mine, and the remnants of the people are mine, too."
As Chen Huangpi spoke, he put one hand on his waist and pointed to the sky with the other hand, saying, "The sun and the moon are the rules, and they are also destiny. Destiny is my master. I have received the mandate from heaven. Since I have a long life, how can I slaughter my people?"
"Your Majesty, why don't you seek advice from the wise men?"
"Where are the wise men?"
"Far away, yet so close."
The Fox Mountain God smiled and said, "I have heard that any wise ruler must be surrounded by wise ministers. Your Majesty is destined to be a wise ruler, so the people around you are naturally wise ministers."
Now, it has some understanding of how to deal with Chenhuangpi.
That is, don’t care about right or wrong.
Never mind the logic either.
Chen Huangpi's way of thinking is different from that of ordinary people, so everything should be based on him.
Just let him do what he wants.
Seeing Chen Huangpi, he smiled happily.
The Fox Mountain God knew that he only needed to point out the plan of leaving the Ten Thousand Mountains and killing the monks outside.
It will definitely leave a good impression on Chen Huangpi.
There are many evil things in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and the Jingxian Temple is extremely weird. It is not a place to stay for a long time.
The world outside is the paradise.
However, there was one thing that the Fox Mountain God had not thought about.
Although the brass oil lamp also wanted to leave the Shiwan Mountains.
The two have the same purpose.
But the brass oil lamp couldn't stand it showing off in front of Chen Huangpi like this.
"Good good!"
The brass oil lamp shouted, "The traitor has jumped out. The traitor is the Fox Mountain God."
"You bullshit!"
The Fox Mountain God was shocked and angry, "I am loyal, how could I be a traitor?"
The brass oil lamp angrily cursed: "You have re-polished what I said and said it again. If you are not a traitor, who is the traitor?"
"Next, you will definitely say that there are many cultivators outside the Shiwan Mountains."
"Those monks are all bastards. They drink human blood, eat human flesh, kill people and steal treasures. They do all kinds of evil, just like hooligans. They all deserve to be killed. As long as Chen Huangpi goes out and kills them randomly, he can not only clean up the world, but also awaken Ah Gui."
"Do you dare to say that you don't want to say that?"
"you you……"
The Fox Mountain God stammered and was unable to speak.
"Why, you are speechless after being exposed by this lamp, right?"
The brass oil lamp held its head high, as proud as a victorious rooster.
"Traitor, traitor! You are the traitor!"
"Okay, I am a traitor and you are a loyal minister."
The Fox Mountain God was so angry that he laughed: "Then tell me, what good idea do you have?" Although he didn't know why the brass oil lamp suddenly turned against water.
But if it doesn't explain why.
Today, it insisted on having a good debate with the brass oil lamp in front of Chen Huangpi.
Foxes understand human nature best and are eloquent.
The brass oil lamp said with disdain: "What you said is mine, and the plan you mentioned is also mine. You plagiarized my idea and asked me to come up with a new one. You are almost as shameless as me..."
The voice just fell.
The brass oil lamp suddenly froze.
Chen Huangpi also looked in one direction as if he sensed something.
……
At the foot of Yuqiong Mountain.
Chen Wu and three others climbed up the stairs.
They had searched several places where the remnants of the people were gathered, but found nothing.
The black sun seemed to have completely disappeared after entering the Ten Thousand Mountains.
In fact, it did disappear.
Because the black sun is the divine light that is emitted by the brass oil lamp after a mutation.
After arriving at the Shiwan Mountains.
The brass oil lamp had become completely evil, transforming into a ferocious, hideous, and terrifying black evil lamp.
Finding it is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.
Now, Yuqiong Mountain is their last stop.
Arrived at the gate of Jingxian Temple.
"Interesting, really interesting."
You Shiyi shook his head and said, "The remnants at the foot of the mountain said that this Taoist temple is called Jingxian Temple, but on the mountain gate it is written Zhenxian Temple."
"Both the Immortal Purifier and the Immortal Suppressor."
"really……"
"What do you mean?"
A childish voice suddenly came from behind the mountain gate.
The four of them looked up and saw a young Taoist priest, about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a Taoist robe, walking towards them.
The young Taoist had gauze wrapped around his eyes.
He was holding a yellowish oil lamp in his hand.
There was a fox following behind.
This young man has some cultivation, but with their strength, it is impossible to tell what level he is at.
And the fox was even stranger.
He looks like a god, but there is not a trace of incense on him.
Chen Wu couldn't grasp it, but he also knew that the Shiwandashan Mountains were very strange and anything could happen.
So, he bowed and said, "I think my fourth brother is outspoken, but I saw that the name of your precious place is quite particular, so I said something rude, please don't blame me, little brother."
"It's okay. The monks before me said the same thing."
"But a middle-aged monk in gray?"
When Song Tiangang escaped, he was wearing gray clothes.
However, he was killed by Chen Huangpi before he even entered the mountain gate, so naturally he never said such words.
Chen Huangpi shook his head and said, "No, they are some monks wearing black clothes, there are dozens of them."
Chen Wu and the other three did not feel disappointed when they heard this.
Because Song Tiangang has the golden seal, his strength is comparable to that of the city god.
If one was aware of it, even if he was standing in front of a cultivator, he would not be able to detect it even if he just opened his eyes wide and released his spiritual sense.
Therefore, Chen Wu asked, "Little brother, there was a black sun passing through the sky during the day. Have you ever seen it?"
"I can't see it."
Chen Huangpi pointed at his eyes disappointedly.
"This……"
Chen Wu frowned, he was actually a blind man.
The other three were also somewhat helpless.
Seeing that Chen Huangpi had some spiritual power, they thought that the gauze wrapped around his eyes was just a decoration.
After all, for monks.
Being blind is not a big deal, unless you are blind, there are many ways to repair it.
The most important thing is that the monks have a way to detect lies.
Although they were not monks, they could tell at a glance that Chen Huangpi was not lying.
"Is there any adult in your temple?"
"Yes, there is, but my master has gone insane. He appears and disappears like a ghost. I don't know if he is in the Taoist temple right now."
Chen Huangpi finished speaking.
Chen Wu and others were even more disappointed.
A blind man and a madman.
It seems that there is no way to get to the bottom of this place.
At this time, You Shiyi suddenly said, "It will be dawn in four hours, so we'd better leave quickly."
I don't know if it was his imagination.
Ever since this little blind boy came out, he always felt that there were eyes staring at him from all sides.
The key point is that the aroma of incense in this Taoist temple is extremely weak.
But there is no evil spirit around, and it seems something is wrong.
In fact, Chen Wu didn't want to stay for long.
Yuqiong Mountain was originally their last stop, so Emperor Song Tiangang would not blame them if they couldn't find him.
Besides, even if found.
Your Majesty would probably prefer that Song Tiangang continue to flee for fear of punishment.
And just then.
Chen Huangpi frowned and said, "It's already dark. There are many evil spirits in the Shiwan Mountains. No matter how powerful your cultivation is, if you encounter one evil spirit, the evil spirits within a hundred miles will find your traces. By then, you won't be able to escape even if you want to."
He really meant well to remind me.
Because although these monks were a little rude, they didn't look like bad people.
Chen Wu, however, bowed and said, "Little brother, we have official business to attend to, so we'll say goodbye now."
After saying that, a few people really patted their butts and left.
It seems like it's just a business matter.
Chen Huangpi looked puzzled.
He whispered, "These four people are so strange. They clearly don't have any gods on them, but they want to leave at night. Are they not afraid of evil?"
The brass oil lamp said faintly, "Because they are evil."
