white clothes

Zijing City.

Nuoda's majestic royal city is like a giant beast entrenched on the ground. The chi kiss on the cornices reveals a corner, glowing with crow-blue light, reflecting the strange and magnificent white halo in the distance. It has just snowed a few days ago. A few cold plums quietly peeped out of the wall, and the branches were covered with snow. Occasionally, when the wind blew by, they rustled and fell to the shoulders of the forbidden soldiers, adding a bit of winter to the solemn atmosphere.

In the cold winter season, the charcoal sellers on the street were driving mule carts in the West Market and hawking. They shrank their necks when they encountered the cold wind. Pulling the mule cart to dodge to the side, the vendors beside him had long been silent, and the hawking noise was much quieter, and they returned to their original state after the officers and soldiers passed by.

Xie Chenyuan sat by the window on the second floor of Xiangfu Restaurant, holding a glass of warm wine in his hand, looking down at the pile of beggars squatting in the corner, listening to their gossip, as big as which official was beheaded today, as small as Xishi The wife of Liu Huangzi's family was not at home last night, and there were bits and pieces.

Zhizhi is small, she sits on the bench and can't see, she stands on her tiptoes and pulls the window to look out.

"Be careful, don't fall." Shen Zong stood up, supporting the little guy vaguely.

The three of them have been in Zijing City for three days.

And the Daxue Dragon Rider also brought the boat full of people into the Wentian Prison in the West City five days ago.

Wentianjian has always been the place where the Great Chu Dynasty prayed for the emperor Najib and worshiped his ancestors.

Those people were detained in Wen Tianjian, declaring to the public that it was because Emperor Shenwu was unwell and needed his people to pray for him.

And half a year ago, Shenwu Emperor Chu Ye was still an emperor in his prime. He had been on the throne for more than ten years, worked hard to govern, and was praised by everyone as a wise emperor.

That is, in the year when he was thirty, a group of people who claimed to be pilgrims entered the city with strange treasures.

No one knows what the treasure is like, people only know that since the group of saints brought the treasure, the king has changed his temperament.

He began to be extravagant and extravagant, and spent a lot of money and people's resources to build the Lanyue Pavilion in the palace, where the stars can be picked by hand. The pavilion is 99 stories high, and the outside is made of jade, gold, silver, jewels and corals. With the holy light.

Since Lanyue Pavilion was built, Wang has entered it, and all matters have been handed over to the newly appointed Great Master.

The master of the great country, surnamed Shan Mingchan, possessed a miraculous alchemy technique that turned decay into miraculous alchemy. He was the one who brought the group of pilgrims to pay tribute to Emperor Shenwu.

Shan Chan's order changed from the first few people entering Lanyue Pavilion to serve the king, to tens or hundreds of people, and more and more people went in, but no one ever came back.

Some courtiers questioned that the king was bewitched by the great master, and was beaten to death by Shan Chan on the spot, with blood spattered five feet.

When the ministers were furious, they broke into the Yueyue Pavilion together. Unexpectedly, they were reprimanded by Emperor Shenwu. At that time, they said that the national teacher is good at the way of life, and can refine the longevity pill. The servants who enter the Lanyue Pavilion are all for the success of the longevity pill. .

Seeing that Wang, who knew things right and wrong in the past, was getting deeper and deeper, and the officials were helpless.

Shan Chan attained the Tao by himself, and chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.

The pilgrims and the king worked together to develop the longevity pill in Lanyue Pavilion, and there were countless people who went in. Rumors gradually spread. It was rumored that the pilgrims led by the national teacher Shan Chan were transformed by demons, wearing human skin to confuse the king. Make the king inattentive to government affairs, and cholera ravages Chu.

Shan Chan can stop the mouth of one person, but cannot stop the mouth of all people.

Everyone in the capital is in danger and keeps silent like cicadas, fearing that one day they will be caught in the palace, and entering Lanyue Pavilion will be a dead end.

Shan Chan began to recruit people into the palace under the order of the king to pray for the king's blessing.

The first stop for those people was to ask the Tianjian.

Afterwards, batch after batch of pilgrims will be brought into the Lanyue Pavilion in the palace to pray for blessings.

These are the news that Xie Chenyuan and the others have received these days.

A pot of wine was simmering in a small red clay stove on the table, and a few plates of dried fruits and melon seeds were placed beside it. The small room was filled with a faint fragrance of wine, matched with the sound of silk, bamboo and zither from downstairs, making people want to get drunk.

Xie Chenyuan took a sip and put down his glass.

Shen Zong immediately picked up Zhizhi who was playing on the window sill and put it on the stool, casually took a piece of dried honey and stuffed it into the little guy's mouth, and peeked at Xie Chenyuan out of the corner of his eye.

Xie Chenyuan felt something, raised his eyes and looked at Shen Zong squarely.

Shen Zong moved his body to Xie Shenyuan's side: "Shen Yuan."

Xie Shenyuan responded.

"Shen Yuan, are you in a bad mood?" Shen Zong put his arms on the table and rested his head on it, looking at the silent Xie Chenyuan.

Since entering Zijing City, Shen Yuan never smiled again, and his face returned to the cold one when they first met.

Xie Chenyuan looked at Shen Zong, and seeing the worry in the young man's eyes, he couldn't help but reached out and touched the top of his hair: "It's okay." He looked at Shen Zong who was bathed in the morning sun, and just rubbed his hair again.

Does he want to tell A Zong that this Zijing city is full of filth that he can't bear, the royal city is like a piece of rotten meat that has rotted to the extreme, and the ghosts and monsters living in it are gnawing on it, and ordinary people can't see the devil The air hovered over the royal city, like a whirlpool, and the thick bloody air soared into the sky, reaching the sky.

It was the first time Xie Chenyuan saw such a situation.

Zijing City seems to have become a lair that breeds ten thousand demons.

And the foundation of the nest is the blood life of countless mortals.

In a daze, Xie Chenyuan suddenly remembered a sentence that Master said to him.

The way of the great way should be worthy of the heart.

As a cultivator, he did this.

Now that he is a demon cultivator, he should be the same as before.

Slaying demons and demons is our duty.

Shen Zong saw that Shen Yuan kept silent and scratched his cheek, feeling a little frustrated.

Shen Yuan is good at everything, but he likes to bury everything in his heart.

into the night.

Zhizhi was sleeping soundly on the bed in the inn.

Xie Chenyuan changed into black clothes, covered his face with a scarf, picked up the black water sword and went out quietly.

During the day, he had been observing the Tianjian, and found that compared with the previous few days, the flow of people suddenly increased.

Without further ado, he decided to visit the Tianjian tonight.

Quietly out of the inn, Xie Chenyuan held his breath and walked at night to Wentianjian.

Jump over the gate and fall into the mansion.

Although Wen Tianjian's guards were patrolling closely, they were only mortals. Xie Chenyuan wanted to hide, and those guards couldn't find him at all.

It was already late at night, but Wentianjian's backyard was brightly lit, and the maids filed into Suoqiu courtyard with meals.

In the middle of winter night, the aroma of food is wafting.

Xie Chenyuan waited patiently in the dark place of the rockery.

child time.

The gate of Suoqiu Courtyard was opened.

A blue-robed Taoist came out first.

The Taoist has an ordinary face, holding a dust whisk, and his eyes are piercing, but the Taoist robes are messy, as if he didn't want to take care of them, he came out barefoot, and waved back: " Hurry up, the king can't wait."

Xie Chenyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then came out a familiar face.

The man in the iron mask riding the snow dragon.

Yan Zhao took off his iron mask, took a deep breath of cold air, and moved his hand forward.

A group of people in golden helmets and iron armor came out of Suoqiu Courtyard in an orderly manner. Everyone's mouth was stuffed with cloth, women, old people, young and middle-aged, and children. They were all fatter than the first time. Young people, all of them had rosy faces, but their expressions were full of anxiety and fear, shaking their bodies like quails.

Xie Chenyuan counted them in detail, about hundreds of people.

He guessed right, there were at least a thousand people on the five official ships, and they should have entered in batches.

Xie Chenyuan followed behind, his eyesight was excellent, and he saw the villager named Wang Daoduo.

Wang Daoduo's figure didn't change much, he was wearing shackles, and walked behind with heavy steps, Xie Chenyuan noticed that his shackles were much bigger than normal ones.

A group of people set off from the side door. It was clearly late at night, and the shark beads in the Lanyue Pavilion of the palace were brighter than the moonlight at this moment, like a moon that was within reach, hanging above the palace.

The sound of shackles clattering rang out in the silent night, and a personal shadow was reflected under the moonlight and shark beads, from short to long and then from long to short, getting closer and closer to the palace.

The guarding officers and soldiers felt a little relieved.

At this moment, Wang Dao suddenly slammed into the officers and soldiers next to him vigorously, unexpectedly he hit him in the mouth, turned around and fled.

The crowd became restless in an instant.

"Quick, grab him!" The blue-robed Taoist flicked up his clothes, and shouted hastily, "There must be no one left!"

The officers and soldiers moved quickly and ran in the direction of Wang Duoduo.

Yan Zhao wiped his face and did not speak.

"Master Yan, what are you doing here if you don't arrest someone at this time?" The Taoist in blue robe looked at the Daxuelong cavalry guard next to him sadly: "Could it be that you let that person go on purpose."

"Of course not, Sansheng Daoist, I'm just here to protect you, my lord, so I don't want to go far." Yan Zhao lowered his head.

"I don't want your protection, you go and bring that man back." Sansheng Daoist snorted coldly.

"Then I will go to the official." Yan Zhao said no more, and left to arrest people.

And Xie Chenyuan took the opportunity to knock down a villager in the chaos just now, put him in an alley, exchanged clothes with him, and hid the black water sword in his sleeve. Xie Chenyuan, who was alone, hurriedly pushed him into the team.

Not long after, Yan Zhao came back with the injured Wang Dadu.

Sansheng Daoist slowly walked in front of him, staring at Wang Daoduo with a pair of eyes: "You are not so brave, you actually ran away."

Wang Duo suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and cursed: "You dog thief."

The three saints laughed a few times, and walked forward in a good mood: "Hey, I like bold ones.

Xie Chenyuan was in the team with his head down, everyone was in danger at the moment, so he couldn't care about other people.

After stepping into the palace gate, he walked for about half an hour. As the surrounding light sources became brighter, Xie Chenyuan smelled an increasingly strong stench.

Finally, Taoist Sansheng stopped.

Some palace people came forward to take the mouth cloth for them.

Xie Chenyuan raised his head and saw a high pavilion that embraced the moon.

The floor is paved with jade, the curtains are decorated with bright pearls, and the walls are covered with gold foil. The most eye-catching thing is the shark bead on the top. It is so bright and bright that it illuminates the moon-covered pavilion like daytime.

Everyone is staring at this heavenly pavilion.

Xie Chenyuan found that the officers and soldiers guarding them had disappeared. They were in the open space in front of Lanyue Pavilion, surrounded by red and copper walls, unattainable.

They were trapped in Lanyue Pavilion.

"You humans have a word that I like very much." The Taoist priest Sansheng said suddenly, attracting everyone's attention, and he chuckled: "That word is "Please enter the urn."

"Now." Sansheng pushed the glazed door a little, and the pearl curtain on the door made a crisp sound, mixed with Sansheng's harsh and weird tone: "My little lambs, come in, hahahaha."

Everyone screamed and fled for no other reason. When the door opened, black and red sewage mixed with rotting flesh and blood flowed down the steps. Little fingers, scalp, bone stubble, and human skin were washed out by the torrent. out the door.

Xie Chenyuan clenched the sword in his hand, his killing intent soared.

The Sansheng Daoist stood in front of the door, closed his eyes and listened to the sound of human fear as if enjoying himself, his whole body had undergone tremendous changes, black and yellow hair grew from his face, leopard ears on top of his head, and thick long leopard tail It was dragged to the ground and stained with dirty blood, and it sounded like fine steel cracking on the ground.

It turned out to be a great leopard.

"I just like bold ones." Quan Leopard's tail accurately rolled Wang Dao in front of the crowd, and Huang Chengcheng's animal pupils shrank excitedly. Giggling and giggling: "It's only delicious if you have the courage to eat it."

Wang Duo looked at the monster in front of him, his face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't calm down.

Quan Leopard opened its mouth, and its mouth extended behind its ears, looking ferocious. When it was about to enjoy a big meal, its eyelids twitched suddenly, and an ominous premonition spread in its mind. It let go of the human and swung its claws backward.

With a clang sound, the tip of his claw was split by a huge force, dripping with blood, and under the black sword face, there was an extremely cold face, with devilish energy lingering all over him, with an astonishing aura.

"Who are you?" The big demon Quan Leopard widened his eyes, looking at Moxiu who suddenly appeared.

Without saying a word, Xie Chenyuan jumped up and swung his sword down. The turbulent and fierce sword intent surrounded the big monster of Quan Leopard impenetrably.

Xie Chenyuan used a killer move, the black water sword pierced through the abdomen of the big demon Quan Leopard quickly, and the demon core was completely shattered.

The big monster Quan Leopard was lying on the ground, gasping for breath, and exhaled, seeing that he was breathing in more air and exhaling less, he didn't know when he offended such a big man when he was about to die.

The black water sword circled around the leopard demon's abdomen, the sword energy instantly shattered the inside, and the heart, liver, spleen and large intestine flowed all over the ground.

The big monster Quan Leopard stared wide-eyed, and his face was twisted into a ball because of the pain: "You, you killed, I, big, big brother, second brother, no, I won't let go..."

There was a sound of a slight sharp weapon meeting flesh and blood.

The blade of the Black Water Sword slashed across the neck of the big monster Quan Leopard, blood gushed out like a fountain, and the head of the big monster rolled down the steps with a gurgling gurgling, staying together with the dirty blood forever.

The people who saw this scene with their own eyes were all silent, and they did not dare to breathe. What's more, they passed out directly.

Xie Chenyuan stood up, wiped off the blood splashed on his cheeks, picked up the black water sword, and kicked open the gate of Lanyue Pavilion.

Glazed pearls shattered all over the ground, and gold leaf rotted into mud with blood.

The demons here should be punished!
