I have a book of salvation

The restaurant was packed with seats. Two drunken men were talking loudly about the "dead man's convoy" they encountered that night.

One of them, a bald man with a strong build, spoke eloquently.

"You know, right?"

"We have some friendship with Master Dao. The house we live in now was built by Master Dao."

"Master Dao asked us to go and fight with the car that disturbed everyone's sleep. We can't pretend we didn't hear it!"

"On that night, dozens of us men will surround that convoy!"

"Except for us, the rest are all the people under Master Dao, they are all tough men who bleed like water!"

"But guess what?"

"After I really saw the motorcade, except for me and Mr. Dao, no one's pants were dry!"

"..."

Yu Chen turned his head and listened to the bald man's tone. It seemed that he was one of the people who saw the dead man's motorcade with his own eyes that night.

So Yu Chen turned around, picked up the wine glass, and patted his shoulder, "Brother, which street do you think the motorcade appeared on? And when did it happen?"

This bald man is also a bold man. He was not annoyed when he was interrupted by Yu Chen. He said cheerfully: "It's on Hongya Street in the south of the city. The time... it should be the second watch in the middle of the night."

Then, the bald man raised his cup and touched it with Yu Chen, reminding him: "Brother, I would like to tell you from the bottom of my heart, I advise you not to have unnecessary curiosity - I just took a look, tut tut... ...That picture... Anyway, we won’t be able to eat any meat for two days in a row.”

Yu Chen thanked him, put down the money for the food and wine on the table, got up and left.

——Although in this world, humans and ghosts have different paths, and they cannot meet each other. Even if there is a ghost showing its teeth and claws in front of you, you can't see it at all.

But probably because Jiangzhou was previously filled with yellow spring water, Furukawa County, which is close to Jiangzhou, was also slightly affected by the aura of death, allowing those ghosts to be seen by living people.

And if what the bald man said was true, then they must have encountered something unclean.

Listening to what he said, the dead man's convoy may have failed.

Anyway, Yu Chen originally planned to rest in Guhe County for one night, so he simply took the time to see what this Netherworld convoy was about.

If there is really a wish to die, then it would be very appropriate to do a favor and receive a reward.

Walking along the streets of Guhe, Yu Chen came to Hongya Street in the south of the city, stayed in an inn, and waited for dark.

In the inn.

Shi Shi sits cross-legged, his body's energy and blood are surging, his muscles are surging, and the precious light is dense under his skin, hidden and hidden deep within.

——More than two months have passed since Yu Chen taught him the Dharma.

It can only be said that the stone is truly talented in this body refining process. Now it has been "quenched" to perfection. Its bones are like trusses, its skin is like gold and iron, its flesh and blood are like fire, and it is crackling and burning, bursting out with a terrifying feeling of power.

The perfection of "quenching" is equivalent to the perfection of "opening the sea" in the way of refining Qi.

But Yu Chen, who was watching the stone walking all the way, initially estimated that this big guy could already fight with the spiritual masters without losing.

——Just because of his terrifying physical defense, the magical powers and spells of ordinary low-level spiritual alchemists may not be able to do anything to him.

"Master, is there something on my face?" Shitou opened his eyes and smiled innocently.

"No." Yu Chen shook his head and turned to ask: "Shitou, you can be considered successful in your practice now. If you continue to follow me in the future, I'm afraid you will inevitably have to fight with others - if that happens, you Do you think you can kill someone?"

Although the stone was frighteningly strong, Yu Chen knew that apart from beating up the people from the Fuding Chamber of Commerce that night, this big man had never even made a move against anyone else.

——With this body type and this size, even when he hasn't started training, it's not something that ordinary people can bear if he casually dumps it. This is why his father has been restraining him before.

Shitou scratched his head and said simply: "I don't know how, I've never killed, but I can learn!"

Yu Chen nodded and said no more.

It's getting dark soon.

Yu Chen took Shi Tou and had a meal at the inn, then waited in the room.

He specially asked for a room on the next street. It was on the second floor. When he opened the window, he could have an unobstructed view of Hongya Street in the south of the city.

Hongya Street in the south of the city is wider than other streets and alleys in Furukawa County. The reason is simply because the south gate of the city corresponds to the official road leading to the capital. All caravans coming from that direction want to enter. Chengdu has to pass through Hongya Street.

So naturally we have to cultivate more broadly.

Late at night, there is a cool breeze.

In the streets and alleys, everyone is almost asleep.

This Qingzhou is already barren, and Guhe County is even more barren among the barrens. Naturally, it doesn’t have the night scene like Jinling.

Coupled with the previous incident of the "dead man's convoy", the people nearby were panic-stricken, so naturally they turned off the lights and went to sleep early.

It's midnight, the second watch.

Hongya Street, which was bustling with activity during the day, was completely silent.

Boom!

A spring thunder exploded!

The patter of spring rain fell.

Accompanied by the sound of raindrops hitting the bluestone road.

Da da da! Da da da!

The slightly rapid sound of horse hooves sounded out of thin air.

Yu Chen raised his eyebrows and knew that the so-called convoy of dead people was coming!

He pushed open the window, jumped down with the stone, and landed on the ground.

From a distance, you can see the lights coming in the rain in the direction of the city.

When you get closer, take a look!

Hey!

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what the bald man said!

A team of carriages and horses, about twenty people, and three carriages pulling goods, slowly drove in, pulling loads of goods.

It's just that several of these horses had broken hooves, broken bellies, and broken arrows stuck in their foreheads.

The white stubble of bones made a crisp sound as they walked on the bluestone floor.

And on that carriage, there must have been about twenty men, and they looked like that.

Their bodies were covered in blood and flesh, covered with arrows, with arms and legs missing, and some even had their heads missing. Their stomachs had been cut open, and messy red greasy things were hanging inside. It was horrifying!

Logically speaking, with such an injury, he should have died eight hundred times long ago.

But they didn't notice it themselves and drove on their own, sometimes talking to each other.

At the same time, in Yu Chen's hand, the Book of Saviors kept humming.

Apparently he felt the last wish of the deceased.

Yu Chen stood in front of the car, took out the Book of Saviors, and let out a huge golden light, drawing all the cars and horses into the Huangquan River.

In the vast mist, the underworld is rolling and roaring.

The team of carriages and horses were still unaware of it and just kept moving forward, seemingly never stopping.

Beside them, Yu Chen frowned.

Scenes of revolving lanterns flash before our eyes.

Let’s talk about these twenty-odd men. The leader is called Lang Qing, a Kaihai Perfect Qi practitioner, and he comes from the capital.

And the remaining twenty or so people are not simple characters. There are five sea-opening Qi practitioners among them, and the rest are also innate masters.

——Not to mention anything else, this lineup alone is enough to equalize Furukawa County, which only has one sea-kaiqi practitioner.

So the question is, what kind of goods is being escorted by such a luxurious lineup?

And why did he die so tragically?

Yu Chen continued to look and saw the answer from the following revolving door.

This matter has nothing to do with Furukawa, or even Qingzhou. If we really want to trace the origin, we have to go to the capital at the feet of the Emperor!

The current emperor has twelve children.

Among them are eight princes, three princesses and one concubine.

In recent years, the crown prince has not yet been established, so the princes naturally have their own thoughts.

Everyone fought back and forth, fighting openly and secretly, each showing his or her own special powers. In the end, two princes stood out, the most worthy of princes.

One is the eldest prince Zhou Yu, and the other is the seventh prince Zhou Xiu.

As for the other princes, they either were crowned kings early, went to fiefdoms, and lived a happy life; or they died in some unknown "accident".

Anyway, only Zhou Yu and Zhou Xiu are left, actively wooing the princes of the court, expanding their power, and competing for the legitimate throne.

As time went by, the reputation and ability of the seventh prince Zhou Xiu had steadily surpassed his elder brother, and he became the most promising candidate to compete for the crown prince's position.

But just when everyone was full of confidence in the Seventh Prince's next show, hey, guess what?

--sick!

Zhou Xiu, the Seventh Prince, fell ill a few months ago. It was said that he had a heart problem. Once he was a little tired, he would twitch all over and foam at the mouth. He had to eat a lot of medicinal soup made from expensive medicinal materials every day. Continue your life.

Such changes naturally gave him no chance to compete for the throne.

——You foam at the mouth and convulse all over after a little exertion. How about you becoming an emperor?

Probably because he knew that there was no hope of seizing the legitimate son, he casually asked for a reward and was named the King of Rende. He went to Youzhou, a barren state to the east of Qingzhou, to be the Xiaoyao Prince.

I heard that His Majesty originally planned to grant him a fiefdom in Quzhou, which was prosperous and close to the capital, but for some reason His Highness the Seventh Prince fell in love with the remote Youzhou and never left.

But although he was gone, his illness was not cured, and the medicinal materials for treating the disease were only available in the capital.

Therefore, every two months, someone would be sent to transport a batch of medicinal materials from the capital to Youzhou to save lives.

Lang Qing in this dead man's convoy is Zhou Xiu's subordinate, and the medicine in this convoy is the life-saving medicine for His Highness the Seventh Prince of Rende!

Unfortunately, when Lang Qing and a group of loyal men were transporting medicinal materials and passing through Qingzhou this time, they encountered an unknown attack dozens of miles outside Furukawa County. The entire army was wiped out and all the medicinal materials were taken away.

——If this is ordinary goods, it will be gone if it is gone.

But Lang Qing and his subordinates all knew that this was His Highness’s life-saving medicine!

How could he be robbed like this?

Die with your eyes closed, leaving behind unfulfilled wishes!

Even if I die, I am still unwilling to give up and want to deliver the life-saving medicine to His Highness!

As a result, the entire team of carriages and horses turned into ghosts under such obsession. They were clearly dead without knowing it, and thought they were delivering life-saving medicine to His Highness.

This is how the "Netherworld Convoy" came about that the people of Furukawa talked about.

In addition, Yu Chen also got a message from the revolving lantern.

Zhou Xiu, the Seventh Prince, was originally one of the Three Mountains of Great Xia, the proud disciple of the dean of Jixia Academy in Shushan.

A disciple of Daxia Literary Sage!
