Chapter 691: Cunning and Shrewd (First Update)

The night is deepest before dawn. In the late spring and early summer, the wind is still a little chilly. At this time, the people who are still busy on the street are often poor people, including night watchmen and people driving donkey carts to collect night incense from door to door.

A disgusting stench floated from behind the cart, but Lao Jiang was used to it. He drank a few coins of inferior wine to drive away the cold, sang opera in a low voice, and drove the donkey steadily.

Suddenly, his eyes blurred and he seemed to see a figure flashing by. He couldn't help shuddering, thinking he had encountered a ghost.

Looking tremblingly, he found a piece of yellow paper on the wall at the corner of the street.

"Have you passed by before..." Lao Jiang's heart skipped a beat. As the donkey cart slowly approached, he saw strange patterns painted on the yellow paper, marked with the kind of words that can be seen all over the street.

"Evil ghosts summoning souls?" Lao Jiang thought of the yellow paper talismans in the Taoist temple. He was so scared that he drove the donkey away quickly!

Not long after his figure disappeared, a night patrol constable dressed as a six-door came and also found the yellow paper.

"The entrance map of the Nine Heavens Ruins..." The constable muttered the opening words, suspecting that he was still in a dream!

The whole city is full of yellow paper maps, and undercurrents surge before dawn!

…………

"Blood Fang Divine Constable" Yuan Lihuo saw the yellow paper and the Nine Heavens entrance map depicted on it when he received the news.

"After searching everywhere, I found it without any effort..." Yuan Lihuo whispered without joy, "It's really as Su Meng said, the trap is very deep, and the mastermind behind the scenes has a big plan!"

"This time, the whole God is probably boiling!"

He was reminded by Meng Qi during the day, and planned to wait and see while contacting helpers, but he had just gone to the fairyland and left a message, and such a big change happened here.

Yuan Lihuo seemed to be able to imagine what the officials in the court would do next, and it seemed that he saw that his plan and preparation had died before it even started!

"I wonder what happened to Su Meng..." He stroked the yellow paper.

…………

Sun Yuexiu, with mixed emotions, glanced at the other two rooms in the guest house, turned around, and followed her senior sister Ren Jingxiu out of the yard.

Ren Jingxiu's face was calm, with a little emotion in her eyes, and her sharpness became more restrained, as if she was a little hit by the previous battle.

She seemed to have only seen such swordsmanship in the master-level elders of the sect, and she was still a step behind. You know, her family is a sword sect!

"Just talking about swordsmanship, I'm afraid it will take the truly top figures of several major sword sects to steadily beat him..." Ren Jingxiu thought to herself, recalling the details of the battle.

With such a strong man intervening and alarming the Great Jin court, she thought she had no chance, so she planned to take her junior sister away from the capital.

"Hey, senior sister, what are they looking at?" Sun Yuexiu's eyes wandered, and she found a group of idle people gathered at the entrance of the alley.

Ren Jingxiu looked away, his eyes suddenly froze, and he said as if he had lost his voice or muttered to himself:

"The entrance map of the Nine Heavens Ruins..."

"What?" Sun Yuexiu felt frightened.

"It seems to be true..." Ren Jingxiu combined the classics left by the sect and the rumors that Xuantian Sect got the Light Blade, and roughly judged from the clues that this entrance map was at least partially true!

Sun Yuexiu took a deep breath and regained his composure: "Things are strange, I'm afraid there are many traps."

"Well, you and I are strong enough to travel the world, and we are not afraid of most dangers, but such a strange thing, it's better not to intervene rashly, first send a message to the sect, and ask the head of the sect to decide." Ren Jingxiu said solemnly.

The two women took a deep look at the yellow paper, memorized the pattern and text on it, and then left quickly, preparing to send a message to the Blue Moon Sword Sect.

…………

In the government hall, the emperor was sitting in the palace, and the officials were discussing politics.

And the contemporary Pingjin Marquis, Cui Qinghe, the head of the Cui family, was also there!

After knowing that the entrance map of the Nine Heavens was all over the city, several top families, including the Zhao family in Shendu, had quickly exchanged opinions and reached an agreement. Now they just came to go through the motions.

Cui Qinghe took the lead, and his gaunt face revealed majesty: "The entrance map of the Nine Heavens is real, but the mastermind behind the scenes has ulterior motives!"

If there was no way to confirm that the half entrance map in Bai Ning's hand was real, how could they have intrigue before?

Wang Wenxian, the Minister of State Affairs, said: "The matter is in Shendu, and we are guests from afar. How can we ignore it?"

Cui Qinghe nodded and said: "Since the matter happened in Shendu, how can we sit back and watch? I suggest that we first fully open the Shendu formation, suppress it with the Nine Dragon Seal, isolate the inside and the outside, and temporarily seal the city so that the news of the entrance map cannot be transmitted."

In this way, except for the strong who have been hiding in Shendu for a long time, the contenders can be minimized, such as the Dharma masters who came after hearing the news.

"Secondly, important places in the capital of the gods should not only not relax their vigilance, but also be strictly guarded to prevent the mastermind from making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, or the evil demons taking advantage of the fire to rob."

"Finally, I will take the lead, and the masters and six-door divine detectives of each family in the capital of the gods will follow and carefully explore the entrance to the Nine Heavens. Those below the master level should not take risks."

Zhao Jingshi stood beside the emperor, took a deep look at Sima Shi, and took the initiative to say: "I will be in charge of the Nine Dragon Seal to suppress the capital of the gods. Why not let the chief detective hold the emperor's sword and follow the Pingjin Marquis?"

The emperor's sword currently belongs to the royal family in name, but it is actually guarded by the government hall in turn. At this time, the half-step Dharma body using the emperor's sword is definitely better than the master. Sima Shi, as the assistant minister of government affairs, is the only choice to use the emperor's sword besides Zhao Jingshi.

Cui Qinghe is a great master of the Dharma body. If he holds the divine weapon emperor's sword again, the other families will feel uneasy. Therefore, after hearing Zhao Jingshi's proposal, they all nodded and agreed.

And Shendu is the Zhao family's "base camp". Among all the families, the Zhao family undoubtedly wants nothing more than trouble in Shendu. It is reasonable for Zhao Jingshi to take the initiative to stay with Jiulong Xi.

The matter was urgent and there was no room for further deliberation. Cui Qinghe thought carefully and agreed to Zhao Jingshi's proposal.

After a few breaths, wind and clouds gathered over the city of Gods, golden light swayed in circles, and the breaths of all living beings merged into dragons of humanity!

Seeing this scene, Ren Jingxiu and Sun Yuexiu, who had not yet had time to spread the news, suddenly smiled bitterly.

Yuan Lihuo sighed, understanding that the "reinforcements" would not come...

…………

Fragments of Heaven, inside the palace.

Han Guang has returned to his free and easy state, without the slight embarrassment just now. His energy spread and he asked casually: "Have everyone been evacuated?"

Gao Lan still sat in the position of Emperor of Heaven with a cold expression: "Those who should have evacuated have almost evacuated, and those who should have entered the upper layers of the sky to hide and wait have also entered. Are you really willing to give up here?"

Han Guang put his hands on his back with a smile on his face: "The detailed location has been known to outsiders, what else is there to cherish? Give up, give up, only those who give up will gain. If the fatal flaw is caught by others, I will turn a blind eye. , I hope the other party will be merciful and not leak this matter in the future? It just needs to buy some time to transfer important things."

Gao Lan seemed to be the emperor who ruled the world. He glanced at Han Guang lightly and said, "After being a monk for several years, his words have become more Zen-like."

"Buddhist scriptures also contain good principles. I have a deep understanding of them, but I need to take the essence and discard the dross." Han Guang walked to the edge of the hall, looking up at the mist of clouds in the sky, his eyes were deep, and the corners of his mouth were curved with an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. line, "They're almost there."

"They came prepared and should be able to open it in one fell swoop." Gao Lan patted the armrest and stood up slowly. He was tall and had the potential to fill the world.

Han Guang looked at it with his hands behind his back, as if thinking about the secrets between heaven and earth, life and death, and said, "I have been here for many years, and I have searched the lower floors several times. I didn't expect that there are still missing places that hide the secrets of the Nine Heavens Xuannv." , The little girl from Luo Jiao seems to know this place better than me."

"All the saints of the Luo religion have said that they are the reincarnation of the old mother who has no life. She has the foundation of ancient power. It is not surprising to know." Gao Lan walked towards Han Guang.

Han Guang chuckled: "Although the Wusheng Old Mother is said to be a powerful person in ancient times, her origins are mysterious. She suddenly appeared at the end of ancient times, merged with Buddhism and Taoism, and formed her own family. She lived until the early Middle Ages, and no one knew her original roots."

…………

Using the green light to support their feet, Meng Qi and Gu Xiaosang quickly ascended, passing through layers of solid white clouds and crystal wall-like voids.

Broken white clouds, torn oceans, toppled fairy mountains, the Tianhe River broken into several sections, and only the ruins of palaces and caves left behind, all passed Meng Qi's sight one by one, but when he tried to take a closer look, they all quickly disappeared. , like many phantoms.

I don't know how much time passed, but Meng Qi's feet were already stepping on the white clouds. The surroundings were misty, and the sea of ​​vitality between heaven and earth washed over his body, endless, and the principles of the law that were originally inaccessible seemed to be clearly visible, the element of fire. It turns into a flame, flowing water turns into a pond, and so on.

"The lower floors are the caves of the gods, the residences of various ministries, and the palace of the Emperor of Heaven. They have been looted long ago. Our target is the top three floors." Gu Xiaosang seemed to have forgotten that Meng Qi was still holding his hand, and said with a slight smile. , another different style.

The witch has such a variety of styles... Meng Qi let go of his hand and looked around, only to see a whirlpool in the distance. Purple thunder sealed the door, crackling sounds, and every thunder seemed to contain a piece of heaven and earth!

"My lord, just highlight the thunder mark and strike it with the Nine Destructions of the Divine Sky." Gu Xiaosang took a step back and stood gracefully, her white skirt moving without the wind, as if surrounding her.

Meng Qi took a deep breath, but did not put away the purple thunder marks on the back of his hand. The long knife in his right hand was tilted slightly, and he suddenly slashed out, diagonally upwards, trembling continuously.

Every tremor has Yin and Yang evolution, generating a series of Zhiyang thunder, condensed at the tip of the knife.

boom!

The long sword hit the purple door, and the condensed thunder exploded. The air was filled with the aura of the Sun. Meng Qi's soul was shocked, and his mind fell into an inexplicable illusion. He saw the purple thunder in front of him growing into shape, turning into a bronze-skinned giant. His whole body is covered with ancient thunder marks and he carries a spear.

Seeing this, Meng Qi did not dare to neglect. The knife in his hand suddenly disappeared and appeared silently behind the giant. The thunder was lingering and the soul was eroding the bones.

Boom!

The giant's spear that was about to swing stopped immediately and did not resist anymore. Instead, it divided part of the thunder and merged into the Yin Thunder, which itself was eliminated a lot.

Meng Qi's heart was shocked, he raised his long sword, and the sky struck with five thunders!

Boom!

Heavenly punishments came one after another, and the giants disappeared.

At this moment, a boundary monument flew into the dim purple door. Meng Qi's nose smelled of a delicate fragrance that resembled orchids, and Gu Xiaosang's voice sounded in his ears:

"Go in quickly, in case there is an ambush nearby!"

Meng Qi's alertness increased, and he took a step forward, as if he had passed through the void and the world, and reached the end of heaven and earth.

The light in front of his eyes lit up, and Meng Qi saw ancient peach trees with knotted branches. Their branches and leaves were withered, and the bark was red. The soil on the ground seemed to have been infected by blood, and the strong smell of blood assaulted his nostrils.

"Pan Taoyuan..." Gu Xiaosang's whisper-like voice drifted.
