Chapter 1249: 1 Ghost Bird
Shrouded in black air?
That’s not really the case.
But what shocked Lu Zhaoling so much was that there were large flocks of birds in the sky above the capital, and they were dead ghost birds.
This was not the first time she had seen so many ghost birds.
But in the past, because of large forest fires, the birds would quickly enter reincarnation after death.
But in the capital, it is impossible for so many birds to appear at once.
Those birds were circling over the capital city. When Lu Zhaoling looked over there, it was a vast sea of birds.
Zhou Shiyue can't see.
After Lu Zhaoling explained to him, Zhou Shiyue also frowned.
In the carriage behind, Yin Changxing and others were also looking at the sky above the capital, and they also saw such a group of ghost birds.
It was the first time that Lu Song had seen such a situation. He opened his mouth slightly for a moment, feeling a little unbelievable.
“When a bird dies, it will also…” become a ghost?
Aren’t ghosts the souls of dead people?
Yin Changxing said, "In the six realms of reincarnation, I am a bird in this life, but I was a human in my previous life, so it's the same."
Lu Song nodded, "Disciple understands."
Yin Yunting said, "There are so many birds in the capital, so there must be something wrong with the forests in the suburbs."
"It seems that something serious has happened in the Netherworld this time." Yin Changxing frowned and said, "Many things cannot be handled by ghost messengers in time."
"Master, are these also under the jurisdiction of the Black and White Envoys?" Lu Song asked.
"There are many ghost messengers. How can they be managed by the two black and white messengers? These should be the responsibilities of the ghost messengers under them."
"Qingsong," Yin Changxing said to Qingsong who was riding beside him, "Go tell Xiao Lingzi to ignore it for now and go into the city first."
"Yes."
Qingsong rode his horse forward and conveyed these words to Lu Zhaoling.
"Master is afraid that I will take all these ghost birds away in one scoop." Lu Zhaoling touched his nose.
"Keep going. Go into town."
Zhou Shiyue ordered them to move forward, then looked at Lu Zhaoling and asked curiously, "Have you encountered this kind of thing before?"
What he actually wanted to ask was how he managed to carry away all the ghost birds in one bag.
Lu Zhaoling coughed.
Judging from Lu Xiaolian's life trajectory, she should have never encountered such a thing and could not handle it. Now that he asked this, it was assumed that she was not the "Lu Zhaoling" of the old Lu family.
Her answer was tantamount to admitting the fact.
"Do you want to open your third eye and take a look?" She changed the subject.
Zhou Shiyue knew it well.
"Open it." He sat down, facing her, and closed his eyes, looking very obedient and letting her do whatever she wanted.
Lu Zhaoling opened his third eye for him.
Zhou Shiyue opened his eyes again and looked outside.
"hiss......"
After hearing what Lu Zhaoling said just now, he was actually mentally prepared, but this preparation was still not sufficient.
So that large black fog-like thing, is it a bird?
"Where do so many birds come from?" He was also shocked.
He immediately called a secret guard and said, "Go into the city first and investigate. Something has happened in the mountains and forests near the capital recently."
"Yes." The secret guard immediately entered the capital city first.
"What impact will it have if so many birds gather in the capital? Will it be harmful to the people?" Zhou Shiyue asked Lu Zhaoling.
The emperor has floated over.
"You still need to ask? With such a large area, the common people probably can't even see the sky clearly, it's so gloomy."
Although ordinary people cannot see these birds, the dense density of ghost birds can be regarded as a large area of yin energy.
Lu Zhaoling nodded, "The emperor is right."
"So, I'll go ahead and see what's going on." The emperor glanced at Zhou Shiyue and asked, "Why use secret guards? Can secret guards be any good?"
After saying this, he floated away in a flash.
Zhou Shiyue: “…”
He turned to Lu Zhaoling and asked her, "Have you ever seen an old emperor compare himself to a secret guard?"
Lu Zhaoling suppressed her laughter and said, "I just saw it."
"The old man is not stable at all."
As soon as the emperor arrived in the capital, he took a look at the city wall and was about to float in. As soon as he touched the city wall, there was a bang, and he was bounced out and fell to the ground.
The people who were queuing to enter the city suddenly felt a small cloud of dust flying up from the ground. They rubbed their eyes but didn't see anything, and wondered, they whispered to their companions.
"The ground just farted."
"What are you talking about? Can the ground fart?"
"Hahaha."
The men walked forward.
The retired emperor, who was lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, had a buzzing in his ears and a dazed head.
The retired emperor never thought that he would be stopped in the imperial city.
Now lying on the ground, he was seeing stars and wondering why he, a ghost, was lying on the ground unable to recover.
Even if he was flung away, wouldn't he be able to just spin lightly in the air and stabilize himself?
"I was careless. I was still careless."
"Master Ling..."
So, Zhou Shiyue and Lu Zhaoling soon met the emperor again.
The emperor got on the carriage and looked at Lu Zhaoling eagerly. For a moment, he didn't know how to explain his shame.
"Old man, you checked so quickly?"
Zhou Shiyue was simply rubbing salt into the wound.
Especially that surprised expression.
"I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be so powerful now. What's going on in the capital?"
The emperor slapped Zhou Shiyue on the forehead with one hand.
"Rebel!"
"Huh!" Zhou Shiyue dodged to the side immediately, "Have some sense? I praised you, but you hit me?"
"What happened?" he asked immediately.
Lu Zhaoling looked at the emperor, "The emperor failed to enter the city?"
"It has to be Master Ling," the emperor said with great grievance, and told about the incident of being bounced back by the city wall. Although it was embarrassing, he couldn't hide these things from Lu Zhaoling, so he still told it in detail. "This was originally my imperial city, and it was also the place where I lived from birth to death. Even if I became a ghost, I shouldn't be unable to enter, right?"
Zhou Shiyue's expression also became serious.
Of course you shouldn't be unable to get in.
"Brother Frog." Lu Zhaoling called out.
Frog Brother floated over.
"Grandmaster."
"Go into the imperial city and be careful. First try to go directly over the city wall. If that doesn't work, try to enter through the city gate."
Although Brother Frog didn't understand why everyone had to go in and why he had to try it, he was still quite happy that Lu Zhaoling rarely had something to tell him.
Just go there quickly.
"Yeah, why didn't I try to enter through the city gate just now?" The emperor also felt a little regretful.
I was knocked unconscious.
"Old man, I'm not saying anything bad to you, but you can't be so rash in doing things..."
After Zhou Shiyue's interruption, the emperor no longer cared about the embarrassment and self-blame.
Frog Brother also tried it, but was knocked away when he hit the city wall.
He climbed up and tried to go in directly through the city gate.
As a result, just as he reached the bottom of the city wall, he suddenly saw thousands of sword lights flashing in front of him, and he was so scared that he retreated quickly.
