Zhou Meng and Zhao Tingsheng didn't seem to be in any serious trouble, but they both had fewer people under their command. There were two people behind Zhou Meng, and only one beside Zhao Tingsheng.

"Everyone has worked hard tonight. I will report your sacrifices later. The Tang government will not turn a blind eye to your losses. There will definitely be compensation and rewards in the future." Shen Luo sighed secretly and said.

"Thank you, Senior Shen." Zhou Meng and Zhao Tingsheng nodded sadly.

After several people returned to the official residence, Shen Luo asked the others to rest first, while he went to the Tibetan Army Hall to report the mission situation and the loss of personnel.

However, he did not report to He Wenzheng that those zombies might be transformed by ordinary people.

After leaving the Palace of Hidden Soldiers, he headed straight to Lu Huaming's residence, but just halfway there, a figure hurriedly approached him, it was Lu Huaming.

"Brother Shen, I'm going to find you." Lu Huaming said happily when he saw Shen Luo.

"I also happen to have something to ask you, Brother Lu." Shen Luo said, but there was no joy on his face.

"Looking for me? What's the matter?" Lu Huaming was startled.

"Brother Lu must have known about the zombies that suddenly appeared in the city. I found out something about the source of those zombies. I wonder if Brother Lu can introduce me to the Duke. I want to report to him face to face." Shen Luo said.

"That's just right, I'm looking for Brother Shen just as my master ordered, and I need to talk to you about something." Lu Huaming said.

"Your Majesty called me? Brother Lu, do you know what's going on?" Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I don't know, but it seems to be very important to see the master's tone and demeanor." Lu Huaming said.

"Since it's an important matter, let's go there quickly." Shen Luo nodded.

The two headed towards the main hall of the Tang government, and soon came to the main hall.

But Cheng Yaojin was not in the hall, there was only a boy in yellow standing here.

"Xiao Ling, why are you here? Where's the master?" Lu Huaming asked.

"Senior brothers, my lord asked me to wait for you here and take you to the inner hall." The boy in yellow said after bowing to the two of them.

Shen Luo's heart moved, it seemed that the matter was indeed very important, and it was not safe to say it in this hall.

The two followed the boy to the depths of the hall, passed through a corridor, and came to a secret stone room.

Shen Luo's gaze moved, and there were already two monks standing in the stone room, and he recognized both of them, one of them was Master Danyangzi, and the other was the bare-handed real person who presided over the Xuanyuan Pavilion auction before.

"Master Danyangzi, the bare-handed real man, why are you two here? Could it be the master?" Lu Huaming was startled for a moment, but then he understood.

"That's right, my lord is invited, so I dare not refuse to come." Dan Yangzi laughed.

Before his voice fell, he saw Shen Luo next to him.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time. Fellow Daoist's cultivation is progressing very fast, and he has broken through the soul condensing stage. Congratulations." Dan Yangzi's eyes flickered slightly, and he greeted with a smile.

"Master Danyangzi, long time no see." Shen Luo nodded slightly in response, but there was no smile on his face, instead there was some coldness.

It's not that he bears resentment for being coerced by Danyangzi to trade the thousand-year-old spiritual milk. When he checked Chen Gang's notes earlier, he found something related to Danyangzi.

The reason why Danyangzi did not hesitate to offend Shen Luo before, but also told Chen Gang that Shen Luo was pregnant with a thousand-year-old spiritual milk, and facilitated the transaction between the two was not simple. There was another important connection between Danyangzi and Chen Gang.

This person has a righteous appearance and is a master of alchemy admired by thousands of people, but behind his back he is extremely sinister. He has been practicing the evil art of "five ghosts possessing souls", which requires the soul of a child born in a cloudy year and a moon. Make offerings.

As a master of alchemy, Danyangzi attracts the attention of everyone, and it is inconvenient to do such evil things. The children's souls needed for his cultivation are all secretly searched for by Chen Gang. According to the contents of the notes, Chen Gang has already found four souls for Danyangzi. As a child, the two of them can be described as devoid of conscience.

Seeing Shen Luo like this, Dan Yangzi was slightly taken aback and soon understood, thinking that Shen Luo was still threatening him before remembering the grudge.

"What an impetuous brat, who thinks that he has advanced to the soul condensing stage and has the capital to fight against the old man, so he dares to show me face. When Cheng Guogong's matter is over, let's see how I deal with you!" Dan Yangzi felt cold in his heart. Hmph, but it didn't show at all on the face, the city is extremely deep.

And the bare-handed real person at the side also warmly greeted Lu Huaming.

Although this person and Shen Luo didn't know each other, but he was a well-rounded person, and he chatted with Shen Luo as if he were an old friend.

Shen Luo didn't dare to push him too hard, so he could only talk to him casually.

Chapter 0523 Temporary Corpse Transformation

While Shen Luo was dealing with the bare-handed real person, a strangeness flashed in his eyes.

Chang'an City is seriously plagued by ghosts, all the monks went to the battlefield, alchemists such as Dan Yangzi and Chishou Zhenren, and weapon refiners also went to the battlefield.

Especially the bare-handed real person, who has been shining on the battlefield recently, holding an extremely powerful fire fan, repeatedly beheading ghosts of the same realm, or even a lower realm, and made great achievements.

The fire fan in his hand is also known and praised by everyone.

Others don't know the origin of the fire fan, but Shen Luo knows very well that it was Chen Gang who asked him to refine it. Chen Gang originally planned to clean up Shen Luo and go get it, but unfortunately he died in the ancient tomb of Yinling Mountain. The fire fan fell into the hands of the real man with bare hands.

According to the notes, the five-fire fan is the ultimate magic weapon of the [-]-layer ban, and its power is extremely powerful. Although Shen Luo is not a greedy person, he is very excited about this magic weapon.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from outside, but it was a green-robed Taoist priest holding a purple floating dust. He looked about 40 or [-] years old. ugly.

"Ge Daoyou, you're here too." Dan Yangzi and Chishou Daoist greeted the green-robed Taoist at the same time.

"Brother Lu, who is this Taoist priest?" Shen Luo asked Lu Huaming via voice transmission.

"This is Ge Tianqing, who is enshrined by the Natural History Museum. He is an extremely rare body of dark thunder. The Taoism of the thunder attribute is very famous in Chang'an City." Lu Huaming replied through voice transmission.

"The body of the dark thunder!" Shen Luo couldn't help but look at Ge Tianqing more.

He is no longer a little monk who has just entered the world of cultivating immortals. He has dabbled in all aspects of knowledge. He knows that the body of dark thunder is a special kind of Taoist body, which is naturally suitable for the cultivation of thunder attribute skills. It is more than ten times that of ordinary monks, and it can release a kind of dark thunder, which is far more powerful than ordinary thunder and lightning. It is a very powerful Taoism.

"This Ge Tianqing is also very advanced. He has already reached the peak of the Soul Condensation Stage. There are rumors that he is already preparing to break through the Out-of-body Stage. Once he succeeds, his status will immediately increase." Lu Huaming said again via voice transmission.

After hearing this, Shen Luo nodded slowly.

In the world of cultivating immortals, the monks in the Qi refining stage are the bottom, and the monks in the bigu stage and the soul condensing stage can only be regarded as the middle class, but once they reach the out of body stage, they can be regarded as the upper class of the world of cultivating immortals.

Only a sect with monks in the out-of-body period can really gain a foothold in the world of cultivating immortals.

And if the monks in the out-of-body stage are willing to join Jubaotang, Xuanyuan Pavilion, Datang government and other forces, they will definitely get a position to worship the elders, and their cultivation resources can also be guaranteed from then on.

After talking with Shen Luo, Lu Huaming also greeted Ge Tianqing with a smile.

Ge Tianqing seemed to be a rather indifferent person, he only nodded slightly to the three of them, then ignored them, and walked aside to stand still.

Lu Huaming and the others seemed to understand Ge Tianqing's character and didn't care.

After exchanging pleasantries, the five of them stood in one place and waited quietly.

Dan Yangzi stood with the real person with bare hands, Shen Luo stood with Lu Huaming, and the withdrawn Ge Tianqing stood alone away from the four of them.

"All of you are here." A voice came from the depths of the stone room, and Cheng Yaojin and Master Huang Mu walked in through a side door there.

Huang Mu's face looked a bit unwell, a paleness appeared on his withered old face, and he coughed lightly from time to time.

"See Duke Cheng, Master Huang Mu!" The five people saluted one after another.

Not to mention Shen Luo and Lu Huaming, Dan Yangzi and the bare-handed real person are also respectful.

Although their status is prominent, Cheng Yaojin is an important minister of the imperial court, he is in charge of the Tang government, and his cultivation is even more extraordinary and holy. He is a real giant in the world of immortal cultivation in Chang'an City, and the two of them dare not neglect one bit.

"Except for my unworthy disciple, they are all talented people in the world of cultivating immortals in Chang'an City, so there is no need to be polite." Cheng Yaojin waved his hand, making Lu Huaming below roll his eyes.

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Yaojin waved his hand, and a yellow light flashed across his palm.

The door of the stone room was closed with a bang, and it was tightly closed.

Seeing this scene, except for Lu Huaming, the expressions of the other four people changed slightly.

"Don't worry, it's very important to call you here to discuss the matter. According to reliable sources, there is an eyeliner lurking in the body training altar in the city, and the Tang government may not be safe, just make sure everything is safe." Master Huang Mu coughed twice, and said Said.

After hearing this, several people regained their composure.

"I don't know what the Lord Duke and Senior Huang Mu asked us to come here, what's the important thing?" Dan Yangzi and the Chishou real person looked at each other and said with cupped hands.

"I called you here because I have an important task for you." Cheng Yaojin said in a deep voice.

For Cheng Yaojin's statement, none of the people present were surprised and waited quietly for the next step.

"Master, before you speak, this disciple has the guts to interrupt. When I went to invite Brother Shen, Brother Shen was coming to the Tang government and said that he wanted to report something important to you." Lu Huaming coughed softly, He stepped forward and said.

"Oh, little friend Shen, what do you want to say?" Cheng Yaojin raised his bushy eyebrows when he saw that Lu Huaming dared to interrupt him, but after hearing what Lu Huaming had said, he asked Shen Luo with a gentle smile on his face.

"This matter is related to the zombies that suddenly appeared in the city. I also ask the Duke and Senior Huang Mu to forgive the boy's rudeness." Shen Luo stepped forward two steps, and said through voice transmission with his spiritual sense.

"It's okay, you tell me." Cheng Yaojin nodded.

Shen Luo paused for a moment, gathered words, and described in detail how he encountered the zombie army today, and finally found out that the silver zombie was the dwarf coachman.

After Cheng Yaojin and Master Huang Mu heard it, they didn't show any surprise.

"The two seniors already knew about this?" Shen Luo muttered in his heart, and asked through sound transmission.

"Although the appearance of those zombies is no different from normal zombies, their core is not heavy, and there is still a trace of ordinary people's breath. It is obviously formed by temporary corpse transformation. People with strong spiritual sense can easily detect them. Naturally, we have sensed it a long time ago." Master Huang Mu replied through voice transmission.

"So that's the case. I found this incident by chance and thought it was a big secret. It turns out that the seniors have already seen everything, and made the two seniors laugh." Shen Luo said a little ashamedly through voice transmission.

"Where, little friend Shen, you are only at the soul condensing stage, but you are keenly aware of this, it is really rare." Master Huang Mu comforted.

Shen Luo bowed to the two of them, said nothing, and retreated.

Seeing this scene, the other four people knew that Shen Luo was communicating with Cheng Yaojin and Cheng Yaojin through sound transmission with their spiritual sense, and they did not bother them, but the way they looked at Shen Luo changed somewhat.

Especially Ge Tianqing, it seemed that because of Cheng Yaojin's attitude towards Shen Luo, he finally looked at Shen Luo a few times.

Chapter 0524 Suffering at the same time

"Before I describe the mission, I would like to ask you about the situation in Chang'an City. You must know something about it. What do you think of the current battle situation?" Cheng Yaojin looked at the five people and asked.

When the five people heard this, they were all stunned, and no one answered for a while.

"Everyone here is a handsome man, there is no need to be restrained, and there is no need to avoid taboos, just say what you have." Cheng Yaojin laughed.

With Cheng Yaojin's smile, the serious atmosphere in the stone room suddenly eased a bit, and the nervousness of the five people also relaxed a lot.

"Since your lord said so, let me just say it straight. Although those ghosts in the south of the city are rampant now, my Tang Dynasty has strong national strength, many strange people and strange men, and is led by Cheng Guogong. It is more than enough to resist those ghosts. Wait for the reinforcements from outside to arrive Now, I believe those ghosts will collapse immediately." Dan Yangzi said after hesitating for a while.

Several other people also nodded secretly, obviously they all felt so, including Shen Luo.

"Reinforcements? Are you counting on the people from Huasheng Temple and Mount Putuo?" Cheng Yaojin said.

"Huasheng Temple and Mount Putuo have always been in the same spirit as my Tang Dynasty. With such a serious ghost trouble happening in Chang'an City, the two sects shouldn't sit idly by, right?" Dan Yangzi said.

Cheng Yaojin and Master Huang Mu were silent, their faces were a little dignified.

"Could it be that the situation has changed, what's wrong with the second sect?" Shen Luo couldn't help asking when he saw the two of them like this.

The expressions of the others also changed slightly.

"What I'm going to say to you next is very important, so don't spread it outside." Master Huang Mu and Cheng Yaojin looked at each other, and then said slowly.

Seeing Master Huang Mu's solemn expression, the five people nodded one after another.

"Shen Xiaoyou guessed right just now. Both Huasheng Temple and Putuo Mountain have undergone major changes recently. Several elders under Huasheng Temple rebelled against the sect and poisoned the sect before their betrayal, causing a large number of disciples to be poisoned. But Putuo Mountain suppressed There was a sudden riot in one of the demon caves, Mount Putuo had no choice but to send a large number of disciples to suppress it, so there will be no big reinforcements coming to support these two sects." Master Huang Mu said in a deep voice.

"What!" Shen Luo and the other five were shocked when they heard this.

"The current situation is like this. We can't rely on outside reinforcements to help us. We must rely on our own strength to deal with those ghosts outside." Cheng Yaojin said in a deep voice.

"My lord, please forgive me for my offense. Although there are a lot of ghosts outside, there are still monsters from the training altar hidden in them, but so far, no top masters have appeared on the other side. You, as well as Master Huangmu's Tongtian Cultivation, is it also impossible to defeat it?" Ge Tianqing, who had never spoken, asked.

"If it's just those ghosts outside, we old guys can easily destroy them." Cheng Yaojin said without hesitation.

"Then why..." Ge Tianqing frowned.

"What you don't know is that this time the ghost trouble is not as simple as what you have seen. Somehow, the body training altar has summoned several ghost kings from the ancient tomb of Yinling Mountain to Chang'an City, and the body training altar itself In addition, the strength of the Jinghe Dragon King who was released a few days ago is extremely strong, and those of us who are old and immortal have actually fought against them several times in secret, and the outcome is not yet decided." Cheng Yao Jin sighed lightly and revealed a secret.

When Shen Luo heard this, he was stunned.

No wonder the ghosts have appeared for more than a month, and the real masters in the Tang government have never shown up on the battlefield. It turns out that they have been confronting each other in secret.

"The outcome is not decided. We are obviously at a disadvantage. If you hadn't helped me in the last battle, my old bones would have been destroyed in the hands of that evil dragon." Master Huang Mu coughed twice, said with a sigh.

When the five of them heard this, their faces sank again.

"We already know the real situation in Chang'an City. I don't know what you want us to do, my lord?" Dan Yangzi asked.

"Although the enemy is strong this time, it is not completely invulnerable. Whether it is the ghosts in the outer city or the ghost king in the ancient tomb of Yinling Mountain, they are all summoned by the altar with a summoning circle. As long as they can find a way to destroy Losing those magic circles can greatly weaken the opponent's combat power, and our chances of winning will greatly increase." Cheng Yaojin said.

The five people looked at each other in blank dismay after hearing this.

"My lord, do you want me to destroy those summoning circles?" asked the real man with bare hands.

"That's right." Cheng Yaojin nodded.

Shen Luo recalled the summoning circle he had seen before. There must be many such circles in Chang'an City.

The altar of fitness must also know the importance of summoning magic circles, and will definitely send masters to guard those magic circles, but if those guardian monks are all Taoists of Cangmu, the level of Nu Chuan, with the strength of the five people present, as long as they can accurately know those magic circles The position of the formation, one by one in the past to raid, the difficulty is not great.

"Presumably you all know the existence of those summoning circles. According to the information we have obtained so far, there are nearly a hundred summoning circles in the city, but those are all small circles on the periphery, and the one in the south of the city is extremely secretive. Only when the core summoning circles are connected with each other can they have the ability to summon ghosts, and they can only summon some weak ghosts, which is actually not very meaningful." Cheng Yaojin continued.
