Chapter 320 Blood Cicada Under the Moon, Underground Cave

He Ziqiu was also confused!

Previously, he and Prime Minister Song deduced two conclusions based on known clues.

First, because the capital immediately set up a dragnet after the death of Ziji Daru, and the Holy Seal could neither be put into a mustard bag nor be concealed, so it should still be in Jixia Academy.

Secondly, the person who killed Zi Ji Daru should be someone from Jixia Academy, and he was deeply trusted by Zi Ji Daru. It was very likely that he was several of his senior brothers.

After realizing these two points, Prime Minister Song's people took action.

However, in order not to alert the enemy, Prime Minister Song did not come to Jixia Academy himself. Instead, he sent the "Long Xiang" organization composed of He Ziqiu and his Qi practitioners to sneak into Jixia to monitor the few great scholars and countless disciples.

At first, there was no problem, everything was calm.

He Ziqiu also wandered around Jixia.

After all, he had also studied in Jixia before. Now that he is revisiting his old place, his young mind must be a little emotional.

But just when he passed by Na Zigui's mansion, he noticed something unusual.

——Although everything seemed calm, He Ziqiu saw something amiss through the false appearance.

It has to be said that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. With the youthful spirit, he just did what he was told. He ran straight away and kicked open the door with a bang.

He saw a scene he would never forget.

Different from the calmness he saw in the distance, in this deep darkness, he saw a bloody figure nailed to the wall, roaring and struggling.

And in front of that figure was the notorious judge from the past few days!

First look!

Although He Ziqiu saw the "judge" himself for the first time, and although he could not see through the other person's true face, he could somehow tell that this guy was the young man who had accosted him at Li Chun Tower!

It turned out to be him!

And looking at the figure nailed to the wall, He Ziqiu's pupils shrank even more!

——Zigui, a great Confucian!

A great scholar from Jixia Academy! A perfect martial art master!

At this moment, he was nailed to the wall like a dead dog!

But before he could react!

The judge suddenly threw him an iron box. When he opened it, it turned out to be the lost holy seal!

And it was during this moment of confusion that the judge suddenly disappeared without a trace!

He Ziqiu was dumbfounded.

——What's going on?

It is obvious from the scene in front of him that the judge killed Zigui, the great scholar, and the holy seal was also in his hand, which is enough for people to guess that he is the murderer who stole the holy seal and killed the great scholar!

But what He Ziqiu couldn't figure out was that in his eyes, that guy shouldn't be the kind of person who kills innocent people indiscriminately.

And if he was the murderer, why didn't he do anything to himself and throw the holy seal out?

He Ziqiu couldn't understand.

He could only fire signal arrows and call the teacher.

Then he looked at the only living person in the room, Zigui Daru.

At this time, Confucian Zigui also discovered He Ziqiu and Song Xiang.

The hope of life suddenly ignited in his heart, and he hurriedly shouted: "Help! Prime Minister, please help me! That heinous judge killed Zi Ji, took the sacred seal, and wants to kill me again!"

Knock it down!

Although Zigui Daru didn't know why Prime Minister Song suddenly barged in, a hundred people who saw the scene in front of them would think that the judge was the murderer.

Of course you have to take advantage of it!

But just when Prime Minister Song frowned and wanted to put down Zigui Daru first.

Zigui saw the daggers in the eyes of the fifteen or sixteen-year-old little brat, and suddenly grabbed Prime Minister Song's sleeve and shook his head.

"--You are lying."

Confucian Zigui: "...?"

At that moment, he didn't know where he was exposed.

In short, Prime Minister Song seemed to believe what the little brat said, and immediately stopped and looked at him.

At that moment, Zigui's heart sank!

He understood that it was over.

at the same time.

Just when the Prime Minister of Song Dynasty began to interrogate Zigui Daru.

Yu Chen had already mastered the Nine Nether Ghost Chariot and flew into the sky, heading towards the agreed place between Zigui Daru and Na Yuexia Cicada.

He wanted to see what these remnants of his relatives wanted to do.

——And they have the methods of the traitors in the Yama Holy Land. Yu Youyu also wants to find out how much they have mastered.

As for the sacred seal under Jixia, Yu Chen was relieved to leave it to He Ziqiu.

Anyway, where He Ziqiu is, Prime Minister Song will not be far away.

The last wish of my son Ji Daru was to help Daxia retrieve the Holy Seal. Now that the Holy Seal fell into the hands of Prime Minister Song, his last wish was fulfilled.

When the golden light was shining brightly, his fate was over. After bowing deeply to Yu Chen, he stepped into the Book of Saviors with relief.

"I really want to see what his expression will be like when he sees that old man Li Huan." Yu Youyu's parents held their chins up and smacked their lips.

Yu Chen also smiled. He had been in a hurry to get back the Holy Seal, but Zi Ji didn't know that his teacher was waiting for him in the underworld!

When the time comes to actually meet him, I’m afraid I’ll be shocked, right?

One thing happened, the Nine Nether Ghost Chariot sped westward, and soon came to the abandoned temple that Zigui Daru and Yuexia Xuechan had agreed upon.

Under the night, the moonlight shines.

Between the mountains and forests, a huge temple came into view, with broken eaves and broken walls, fallen beams and collapsed columns. The original golden-red temple was ravaged by time, leaving only brown ruins, with a severed head on the Buddha statue. It is also covered with green vegetation and looks like it has been in disrepair.

Let's talk about it originally. There are Buddhist temples in Daxia, but they are not the residences of holy monks with great supernatural powers as in the story. They are mostly places for eating fast, chanting sutras, and collecting incense and money.

But decades ago, the demon Buddha invaded and was beheaded by the late emperor, implicating the entire Buddhist temple in Daxia.

From then on, under the imperial court's order, all Buddhist temples were abandoned and became dilapidated temples everywhere.

In the first few years, there were still some people who made a fortune traveling across the mountains and ridges in search of treasures among these Buddhist temples.

But over the past few decades, everything that could be looted has been looted, and no one cares about these Buddhist temples anymore.

This Buddhist temple, then named Hongguang Temple, was prosperous a few decades ago and had thousands of monks. Now, however, things have changed and people are left desolate.

But when driving the Nine Nether Ghost Chariot from the sky, Yu Chen discovered something was wrong.

——This Hongguang Temple is located in a deep mountain and old forest, and because of the original extermination of Buddhism, there are no people in the area for hundreds of miles. It can be said to be a place where birds can't shit.

But unexpectedly, Yu Chen saw from the sky, old and confusing ruts in the mountains.

This is a trace that can only be completed by long-term carriage traffic, just like those official roads in Daxia.

"It seems that Hongguang Temple is not just a connection point, but more likely... a stronghold of Cicada under the Moon?" Yu Youyu made a reasonable guess.

"You'll know when you go down and take a look." Yu Chen took a deep breath and his appearance began to change.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into the great scholar Zigui, lifelike and lifelike.

"Walk."

After saying this, he jumped off the Nine Nether Ghost Chariot and landed on the ruins of Hongguang Temple.

Enter the Buddhist temple.

The majestic Buddha statues have long since collapsed, and the ones engraved with Buddhist scriptures have withered and broken. Countless green vines have filled the largest Buddhist hall, giving people a feeling of decay and dilapidation.

And just when Yu Chen landed on the ground, a strong feeling of being spied on rose up from every inch of his body.

It was as if there were pairs of invisible eyes staring at him between heaven and earth.

"Jixia Zigui came as promised."

He knew clearly in his heart that those who were peeping were probably those people from Cicada Under the Moon, so he spoke loudly despite his status as a great scholar.

After a few breaths, the feeling of being watched dissipated.

——It seems that the other party did not find anything abnormal.

Then, Yu Chen felt the ground beneath his feet shaking.

Boom!

There was a dull sound of rubbing stones, and the vines that originally covered the entire ground slowly gave way as if they had gained vitality.

Immediately afterwards, the earth spun like a clock dial, and dust filled the sky!

Finally, a long staircase leading to the bottom was revealed,

It's so dark that it's hard to see the bottom, like an abyss.

"You are a great scholar, please."

A hoarse voice came from the corridor, and then a figure in black tight-fitting soft armor came out and made a gesture of invitation.

Yu Chen glanced at him and opened his eyes.

boom!

The blood-red blood was overwhelming.

——Lots of killings.

But he remained silent and followed the figure into the corridor.

Rumble.

The floor above Yu Chen's head squeaked again, running in reverse direction, sealing the floor of the Buddhist hall again, and the vines also entangled themselves.

After the dust settled, it turned back into the dilapidated and abandoned ancient temple.

The man in black who led the way didn't say a word, and Yu Chen didn't bother to say anything more, so he just followed.

After passing through the long corridor, the darkness dissipated, and what Yu Chen saw was an extremely huge space underneath!

It is quite vast, visually estimated to be one-tenth the size of Suzaku City. The entire body is covered with gray-white stones, and the stones are inlaid with orbs that emit white light, illuminating the entire space like daylight.

Even though it is built underground, it does not appear cramped at all. Instead, it is hundreds of feet high.

Looking around, the entire underground cave is in order, with elegant houses, majestic palaces, towering pavilions, criss-crossing streets and alleys... neatly arranged.

Looking further ahead, at the farthest end of the underground east cave, a huge gray-white palace stands tall and solemn.

On the streets in front of Yu Chen, figures of men, women, old and young were hurriedly passing by.

However, Yu Chen noticed that these guys were not mortals. They all had powerful auras. They were also innate great masters and Qi Refiners in the Qi Spirit Realm.

Looking at it with the eyes of the sky, everyone's body is full of blood, and they are all ruthless people with blood on their hands.

The figure who led Yu Chen in also took off his disguise after returning to the underground, revealing his true appearance.

He is a man in his thirties, with a stern face and a strong breath.

At the same time, Yu Chen also noticed that whether it was the person leading the way or the "pedestrians", there was a red cicada mark on the case.

Judging from the revolving lantern of the literary sage old man, this is the symbol of the organization "Blood Cicada Under the Moon" belonging to the empress.

——They are all members of the Blood Cicada under the Moon. At a glance, there are thousands of them!

Unexpectedly, the already destroyed Yuexia Cicada still had such a huge power.

Yu Chen sighed inwardly.

"Your Excellency, the Confucian Master, is waiting in the palace, please."

The person leading the way turned his head and interrupted Yu Chen's thoughts.

This was the first time he spoke, and then he returned to his dead fish face and led Yu Chen towards the huge gray-white palace.
