Chapter 204 Shangqing Palace

Seeing the terrified people around him, Guan Zuo turned to look at the Yamen servants who were chasing him out, his face was cold and frightening.

"Take care of the matter here, and send someone to Fengyun Village to take a look. I'm going to Zhenma Division now!"

"Follow your orders!"

All yamen servants understand the seriousness of the matter.

As early as in the past, no evil spirits dared to enter the capital, let alone assassinate imperial officials in the capital.

Fortunately.

To be able to enter the court as an official, and to hold an important position in a place like the capital, ordinary people are not qualified at all.

Although Guan Zuo is a civil servant, he can be placed in the Jianghu, and he is also a strong man with innate limits.

The evil spirit that was attacking and killing was able to possess himself. Although he entered the ranks of the resentment level, there was a huge gap compared with the other party.

That's why.

That demon will be beheaded by Guan Zuo.

Just when the yamen servants were disposing of the corpses on the ground, and Guan Zuo hurried to the town magic department.

Royal Palace.

Inside the observatory.

A self-rotating ball suddenly vibrated, a faint black appeared, and then disappeared quickly.

And in front of the ball.

An old Taoist who was sitting cross-legged in meditation suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the ball with a shocked expression.

"There is a change in the magic tester!"

"Not good, some evil spirits have infiltrated the capital—"

The old Taoist got up directly from the ground, his original calm demeanor could no longer be maintained.

"Come on!"

An angry shout.

A man dressed as an eunuch came up to him and bowed in salute: "Dare to ask what your command is!"

"There is a change in the magic measuring instrument, there is a monster in the capital, report to His Majesty immediately!"

The old man looked cold.

The eunuch's expression was shocked, and he hurriedly replied: "Yes!"

Done.

He left in a hurry.

Not long.

Gu Xuanji came to the observatory, glanced at the magic measuring instrument in front of him that had returned to normal, with a solemn expression.

at this time.

The old Taoist bowed and saluted: "Chen Baiyue has seen His Majesty!"

"Free gift!"

Gu Xuanji waved his hands, but his gaze remained on the magic measuring instrument.

"You said that the magic measuring instrument has changed, is it because there are evil spirits born in the capital?"

"That's right." Baiyue cupped his hands: "The magic measuring instrument can monitor the capital, but any leakage of evil spirits will cause the magic measuring instrument to change. Just now, the magic measuring instrument has changed, and there must be evil spirits born.

But the change appeared very quickly and disappeared very quickly. According to my guess, there are only two possibilities. "

"Which two possibilities?"

"One is that the evil spirit has been beheaded, and the other is that the evil spirit has hidden itself again."

Baiyue's face was heavy.

"But one thing is certain is that the evil spirit is definitely not too strong. Only evil spirits below the evil level can hide the evil aura under the monitoring of the magic measuring instrument."

The higher the evil level, the stronger the evil aura.

Gu Xuanji withdrew his gaze from the magic measuring instrument and looked at Baiyue.

"Is it possible that the sinister aura came from the town of magic?"

"Impossible, the evil spirits in the Demon Township Division are all imprisoned in the Demon Township Prison and the Demon Sealing Tower, where the evil spirits can be isolated, and the magic detector will never be activated, unless there is an outbreak of evil spirits elsewhere in the Demon Township Division.

This point needs to be checked by His Majesty. "

Baiyue said truthfully.

heard.

Gu Xuanji nodded slightly, and then asked one more question: "Also, is there any problem with the magic measuring instrument?"

"Absolutely not!"

As soon as the words fell, Baiyue strongly denied it.

Done.

Baiyue also realized his slip of the tongue, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the magic measuring instrument was developed by our Shangqing Palace for hundreds of years, and there will never be any problems.

Back then, the evil spirits attacked the Shangqing Palace for the purpose of destroying the magic measuring instrument.

This magic tester has gathered the efforts of countless people in my Shangqing Palace, and there is no possibility of any mistakes. "

"I'm just asking casually, the Taoist priest doesn't have to be serious."

Gu Xuanji smiled.

He also understood Baiyue's words, and there was nothing wrong with what he said.

The Shangqing Palace was also the top sect in the rivers and lakes in the past, when the evil spirits destroyed the Shangqing Palace, almost everyone was killed or injured, only a few people such as Baiyue fled with magic measuring instruments.

It's just that those who escaped died in the hands of evil spirits in all likelihood.

The remaining Baiyue brought a magic measuring instrument and went directly to Daqin.

At last.

The imperial court purposely built an observatory, placed a magic measuring instrument, and then let Baiyue serve in the imperial court.

Do not suspect.

Use no doubt.

Gu Xuanji believed in Baiyue.

"The Taoist priest will continue to stay here to observe the movement of the magic measuring instrument, but if there is any change, you can have someone notify me. As for the movement just now, I will send someone to investigate."

Done.

He turned and left the observatory.

The observatory sounds like a high platform, but it is actually a palace.

the difference is.

There is a layer of colored glaze on the top of the palace, so you can see the outside world.

Since the word stargazing is used, it is natural to be able to see the sky.

Shangqing Palace itself is very good at stargazing and divination, otherwise it would not be able to manufacture such things as magic measuring instruments. In order to allow talents like Baiyue to play their role perfectly, Gu Xuanji specially asked people to build this place.

After Gu Xuanji left.

Baiyue looked at the magic measuring instrument in front of him and frowned.

"The country is where the lifeblood of the Great Qin is located. It is suppressed by the fortune of the Great Qin. The evil spirits are not strong enough, so they are not qualified to enter the capital. Now that a demon below the evil level shows up, doesn't it mean that the fortune of the Great Qin is declining!"

"Oh, this is troublesome—"

National luck declines.

It shows that a dynasty is already in serious decline.

Prosperity and decline.

This is the rule of heaven and earth, and no one can violate it.

Corresponding.

Whether it is extremely peaceful.

However, Baiyue is not sure whether Daqin will be able to make it to the extreme. After all, any dynasty that declines may be wiped out by others before it returns to its peak.

Now that Da Zhou is attacking the barbarians, even though he is in the deep palace, he knows it clearly.

Cooperating with the current decline of the fortune of the Great Qin Dynasty, there is a reasonable explanation.

"I hope Daqin can survive this calamity!"

Baiyue shook his head.

The Shangqing Palace has been destroyed, and he is now tied to Daqin.

If Daqin is destroyed, then his fate will not be easy.

Only when Daqin is safe and sound, can there be hope of rebuilding the Shangqing Palace.

-

Inside the hall.

Gu Xuanji summoned all the ministers.

Guan Zuo, who had originally gone to Zhenmagic Division to ask for help, was also on the list at this time.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

The Holy Emperor of Great Qin spoke calmly.

heard.

Guan Zuo bowed his head and replied: "Your Majesty, someone came to the yamen to report this morning, saying that a demon appeared in Fengyun Village outside the capital, and one person died at the hands of the demon, but he never thought that the person who reported the case was actually possessed by the demon.

At a critical moment, the evil spirit wanted to sneak attack on Wei Chen, but was beheaded by Wei Chen in the end.

After beheading the evil spirits, Weichen immediately went to the Zhenmagic Division to ask for help. I believe that the people from the Zhenmagic Division have accompanied the servants of the government office to Fengyun Village to check the situation, and there will be news in a short time. "

Speaking of it.

Guan Zuo paused for a moment, then continued: "But at that time, the evil spirits were unable to make a sneak attack, so they escaped from the Yamen first. Although they were beheaded and killed by Wei Chen later, several common people were also killed by the evil spirits."

When he finished speaking, the hall was silent for a long time.

Gu Xuanji looked at Dongfang Zhao: "There are evil spirits entering the capital, what explanation can Zhenmai have?"

His expression was calm.

But the calmer he was, the greater the anger in his heart.

Dongfang Zhao, who used to be calm in the past, also felt some pressure at this moment.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the evil spirits have disappeared without a trace. If they want to infiltrate with all their heart, there is no way for Zhenmagic to intercept them 100%. Moreover, the capital has always been suppressed by the National Fortune, and the evil spirits cannot enter the capital if they are idle.

Now a monster of the level of resentment can openly kill people in the capital.

I suspect that there may be something wrong with the fate of the country—”

There is a problem with the country!
Hearing this sentence, many courtiers' expressions changed drastically.

National luck is fundamental.

If there is a problem with the national fortune, then Daqin will be in big trouble.

Gu Xuanji's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Over the years, evil spirits have been in trouble, and now there are hidden dangers of the Great Zhou and the barbarians. It is normal for the national fortune to be somewhat turbulent, but I don't want this to be an excuse for the Zhenmagic Division.

I can let go of the past for the attack and killing by evil spirits.

But for the follow-up question, I hope that the Zhenmagic Division will take it seriously. The capital of the country is the face of Daqin. If the capital of the country is reduced to a place where evil spirits are rampant, then how can we convince the people that our Daqin can suppress evil spirits! "

"After the minister returns, the whole city will be under martial law, and no evil spirits will be allowed to cause trouble!"

Dongfang Zhao bowed and saluted.

Gu Xuanji said: "That's the best. In addition, the evil spirits may not have the intention of disturbing our people's hearts. The evil spirits' attack on the government office this morning may be just a sign, and the evil spirits will have bigger actions in the future.

From today onwards, the imperial guards patrol the palace day and night, and they must not be negligent for a moment.

In addition, the Zhenmagic Division and the defenders in the city are patrolling all over the place. Whenever there are evil spirits mixed in, they must be killed immediately, so as not to cause major disturbances.

This matter is not only the responsibility of Zhenmagus, but also your responsibility.

As ministers of the imperial court, you should be loyal to the emperor and take care of the emperor's worries. Wherever there are evil spirits appearing, you also need to assist the people in the town of magic to kill the evil spirits! "

Those who are qualified to stand on the court hall.

Any one of them has impressive strength.

Troubled world now.

If a majestic court official does not have the slightest strength in his body, then the evil spirits can kill as many as they want, and there will be no problem.

Wait until Gu Xuanji finishes speaking.

All the ministers bowed to accept the order: "The ministers wait for the order!"

"Don't cause a big commotion about what happened today. Anyone who spreads rumors at this time will be imprisoned. If the circumstances are serious, they will be shot to death!"

Gu Xuanji gave another order.

There are evil spirits killing people in the capital, which will definitely cause a lot of commotion.

What the imperial court has to do is to completely suppress this influence.

"Yes!"

The ministers took orders.

Immediately.

Just retreated in an orderly manner.
