Great Sui Guoshi

The emperor on the imperial steps slapped the dragon case excitedly, and immediately ordered someone to clean the palace.

Chapter 174 Finding Qixia Mountain Lu Liangsheng Quickly

It's five o'clock.

Before dawn, the civil and military officials waiting outside the imperial city gathered early.

Min Changwen also arrived at the city gate on time, got out of the carriage, greeted a few familiar colleagues, walked to the side and waited until the gate opened to enter the palace.

Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, each with their own circles, and usually at this time they would put aside their prejudices and exchange information.

"Have you heard?" "What happened?"

"...The protector of the country has moved into the palace."

"It's just nonsense, how can a monk live in this imperial city, it's out of style!"

"Isn't that right, His Majesty somehow let a monk stay here..."

There was also such a low-pitched conversation nearby. Min Changwen took a breath and continued to close his eyes. In fact, he already knew the news before going out. However, his heart was somewhat numb.

"The treachery will bring disaster to the country!"

Inside the officer's sleeve, his fists were clenched and trembling, and he could only squeeze out this sentence and curse.

"Wait a minute, there should be a quarrel in the hall."

Soon, the gate of the palace opened, and the gathered civil and military troops stepped into the palace one after another, and assembled in the Guangzhao Hall. During the waiting process, some eunuchs brought the palace guards to search their bodies.

This is the usual practice, especially after learning that Lu Liangsheng returned to Nanchen, he became more strict.

As usual, Chen Shubao came out of the apse, walked up the imperial steps, flung his golden wide sleeves, brushed over the armrest, and sat on the dragon chair. The accompanying eunuchs bowed and took three steps forward, shouting outside the hall:

"Go up!"

Only then did a group of civil and military personnel file in, finding their own places in the hall and standing one by one. After discussing state affairs as usual, the emperor waved his sleeves and announced his retreat.

But this time, before Chen Shubao could speak, someone stood up.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the protector of the country is staying in the palace. I wonder if it's true?"

The speaker was Gong Gong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who was quite familiar with Min Changwen, and the two of them had frequent contacts in private. When the official was reinstated and transferred back to the capital, he was in the middle to support and lobby, which played a great role. effect.

"That's what happened."

Chen Shubao flicked his dragon sleeves impatiently, got up and walked towards the apse, talking while walking.

"I know what you are going to say, but keep your mouth shut now, if anyone among you can protect me, I can also bring him to live in the palace."

"But Your Majesty! The Imperial Palace is a place of great wealth, and there are His Majesty's concubines, children and dependents, as well as the Prince of the East Palace. Don't lose the majesty of the royal family."

"I am majestic! I have the final say on the palace!"

In the court hall, as expected by Min Changwen, they began to quarrel over this matter. Chen Shubao, who was about to leave, had to stay and argue with them, and finally left the hall angrily.

"You barking ministers know what—"

The court officials broke up unhappy, and Min Changwen walked out of Guangzhao Hall. The sky was bright outside, and the sun was pouring down, making him squint his eyes. Duke Shu Hua had gone, and what he felt was alone and silent, and he couldn’t even make up his mind when talking. People are gone.

"Mr. Shu Hua..."

He sighed softly, and left with Wen Wu who came out of the hall.

Just like an ordinary and bustling day, as time goes by, the stars dot the night sky, spreading out a starry sky.

There was mist between the palace buildings, and the patrolling palace soldiers walked through holding torches, and a warm yellow light shone from a nearby attic.

Namo Ami... Namo Ami... Namo Ami...

Among the lights, Pudu Cihang, who was sitting cross-legged on a futon, moved his lips rapidly, and in the sound of the Buddha's voice, the flying insects following the lights avoided far away.

Now he is no longer an ordinary monster. Once upon a time, he was stuck in the psychic stage for many years, and he already had the same wisdom as a human. Unfortunately, not every monster with spiritual knowledge can get one step closer.

If it hadn't been for the young man's unintentional advice, perhaps he would have died from the five declines of heaven and man. After that, he found a wild temple and got into a clay sculpture to accept offerings from people. There is a saying often said in the industry: three years without a song, a blockbuster.

After breaking through the psychic, his cultivation has deepened at an unimaginable speed, but he also relies on the power of incense and fire, and his usual practice can no longer satisfy him.

And, a new idea came to mind.

Transform into a dragon!

Instead of turning into a human form and being a demon cultivator, it is better to practice with the help of the dragon spirit of the emperor, and one day transform into a dragon and ascend to the sky, overlooking the mountains, rivers and great rivers, winding above the nine heavens.

This is the biggest wish of the monsters who stay in dark caves and underground all year round.

And the danding profound energy in his body will also be perfected on August [-]th. This is the last step, and he will transform with the help of Longwei and Haoran official energy.

It's just that the dragon aura of the emperor of the Chen Dynasty has already been sucked clean by him, but it doesn't matter, the emperor still has sons, as well as civil and military officials...

The sound of Buddha's voice echoed, and the thin figure dragged on the wall, turning into a huge black shadow, shaking its long beard, wandering out of the light, and immersed in the darkness.

Over the densely lit city, on the pitch-black field, there are countless black shadows winding underground, surrounding them in all directions. At a certain moment, the floor tiles of Baiguanfushe Street in the city loosened, and black shadows crawled out, crawling around, turning over Pass a house courtyard wall, towards the backyard.

Soon, there was a scream, which made the yellow dogs in the courtyard bark.

woof woof woof woof woof woof woof

The dense centipedes crawling under the black shadow spread across the mansion with the plaque engraved with the word "Min". With a bark, they climbed up the courtyard wall, descended, and along the base of the wall to avoid the range of guards patrolling with lanterns , move away quickly.

In the side room, there is a warm yellow study room, and on the desk in front of the window lattice, Min Changwen buried his head in writing stroke by stroke, most likely to summarize today's court quarrels into chapters and present them to the emperor.

Wang Wang Wang --

He heard a big dog barking in another house not far away, which made him stop writing, frowned slightly, and raised his face, the neighboring house where the barking came from was separated by a wall, it was the residence of Shangshu Gong Gong .

"What's going on?"

Min Changwen put down the brush, flicked the wick, raised the oil lamp on the table in his hand, pushed open the door of the study, and smelled a faint stench.

Call ~

The foul wind howled, and the camphor trees in the courtyard rustled.

He covered his mouth and nose and stepped out of the threshold. At this moment, there was a "click" sound in his ears. On the wall, a long shadow pair of tentacles danced back and forth, crawling down the wall, reaching towards Human nape.

next moment.

A framed painting hung on the wall on the other side, "Huanghuang Qixia..." Several big characters lit up one after another, and before the black shadow opened its mouth, it hit it with a bang, and the long insect body slammed into it. It flew sideways and hit the wall, and fell to the ground with another bang.

"This is……"

Min Changwen hurriedly turned around, the light in his hand was flickering, and he saw a giant centipede that was more than the length of two people struggling and twisting, emitting blue smoke.

His expression changed suddenly, he stepped back out of the study, and shouted loudly:

"Come on people!"

Many rooms in the mansion were lit up one after another, and the sound of doors and footsteps was dense. Servants and guards rushed over following the master's voice with knives and sticks.

"Inside, that thing is inside!" Seeing the servants coming, Min Changwen finally calmed down a little, and pointed to the study for people to go in and check.

In the room, the servants and the nurse carefully raised the lantern and looked inside. Within the range of the dim light, there was a long puddle of thick water accumulating on the ground, giving off a stench that made people cover their mouths and noses.

"Master, what is this?"

"It stinks! Others don't come over, be careful it's poisonous!"

Min Changwen was escorted by the guards and retreated to a place a little far away to stand still, looking at the puddle of thick water in the firelight, he was silent for a moment: "Go to Gong's mansion!"

Immediately, he took a long sword, took more than a dozen guards beside him and walked out of the mansion quickly. The mist on the long street churned against the ground, and the barking of dogs became more and more frequent in the surrounding hundred officials' houses.

Walking up the stone steps with lanterns, Min Changwen asked the guards to knock on the gate of Gong's mansion. Soon, the gatekeeper showed half his face, and he recognized the figure in the light of the torch outside the gate, so he quickly opened the gate.

"Cao Min has seen the Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

"Is your Lord Gong here?" Min Changwen heard the dog barking inside, and walked in with a stride.

"Yes, yes, it should be in the study. Today my master came back and was angry, so he locked himself in the study so that no one would disturb him."

The concierge didn't dare to interfere, so he had to follow behind and explain a few words, not to mention that the person in front of him is also a Shangshu, and he has a good relationship with his master, and he is familiar with the family when he often comes to the mansion.

"You don't have to follow, I'll go by myself!"

Swinging back to the gatehouse, Min Changwen pressed the hilt of his sword and led two guards across the front yard porch, the barking of dogs became clearer and louder.

"Be careful."

Instructing the guards behind him, he went to knock on the door of the study room in the side yard, but before he knocked with his fingers, he flapped his nose and smelled a familiar stench.

Min Changwen immediately lowered his hand, pressed the hilt of his sword, turned and left.

"Go back to the house immediately and wake up the lady."

Back in the front yard, under the incomprehensible gaze of the porter, he went straight out of Gong's mansion and returned home, changed into close-fitting clothes and left the house with a long sword hanging.

Outside the door, there were many torches, and more than a dozen guards gathered. Among them was a woman in light red casual clothes, with a beautiful appearance and a high bun. Seeing the old man coming out, she hurried forward, speaking anxiously.

"Father, what happened?"

"I don't have time to go into details, so I immediately follow my father out of the city."

"What about the mother?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as the father is away, she will be fine."

The mansion was brightly lit, and soon, more than a dozen fast horses gathered at the back door. On the horses, a woman put on the casual clothes for a long journey and looked at her father opposite.

Min Changwen turned his horse's head around, and could vaguely hear screams coming from the Baiguan House Street. He took a breath, raised his whip and slammed it.

"There is my old friend at the south gate, let's head south to Hegu County! Drive—"

The horse team stomped on the ground and ran out quickly. The woman and the rest of the guards were afraid that he might make a mistake, so they followed behind and ran towards the south gate.

The fire fell in the hands of the people, passing through the streets, and soon the people opened the city gate, rushed up the official road, all the way to the south.

.......

At the same time, in the Eastern Palace of the Imperial City, the flickering lights flickered suddenly, and a huge black shadow flashed past the window lattice.

Chapter 175 The First Magic Weapon

The bedroom hall was brightly lit, and inside the curtains, the bedding on the bed was gently undulating. Chen Jing was sleeping peacefully, occasionally scratching his face, turning in one direction and letting out a slight breath.

call…..

The moment the curtains were stroked, the burning lights went out one by one, the bedroom was plunged into darkness, and the silhouette of a huge black shadow seeped in from the gap between the window lattices, wandered along the wall, and came above the head of the bed.

The shadows of tentacles and mouthparts danced and opened and closed, leaning down from the wall, staring at the sleeping face of the young man below.

hiss~~~

There was a sound of inhalation between teeth, the curtains were sucking towards the shadow, maybe feeling the coldness, Chen Jing moved uncontrollably in the quilt twice, his head resting on the wooden pillow swayed from side to side, the whole figure looked like into a nightmare.

On his body, wisps of pale yellow air slowly protruded from the boy's body in mid-air, leaving his body, passing through the veil of the curtain, and entering the silhouette of the black shadow for a moment——

Something lit up on the corner post hanging from the end of the bed, and the green light burst out. The green jade pendant suddenly twisted a few times, and the two jade-carved carp on it rolled their eyes, and their tails swayed accordingly.

laugh!

It was as if the sound of water splashing into boiling oil exploded in the hall, and the blue light hit the black shadow on the wall at the head of the bed, creating a foul smell.

'Uh...uh...'

On the bed, Chen Jing frowned and struggled vigorously. Suddenly, he cried out "Ah--", opened his eyes, and sat up from the bed.

A gust of wind gathered in the hall, the curtains were rolled up, the window was opened with a bang, and the black shadow quickly diffused out. In the room, the cold blue light dimmed, and fell to the ground together with two carp swimming in mid-air.

Outside the palace, a series of footsteps came, and the guards pushed open the palace door and rushed in.

"Prince!"

Immediately afterwards, more people ran around the sleeping hall, shouting loudly.

"Hurry up, protect the prince!" "Check the window on the side of the hall!"

"I saw something run out—"

"Chase!"

There was a loud shout, the armor leaves and scabbards collided, and the guards of the Eastern Palace and the soldiers of the imperial guards ran with torches. Someone found the strange place and was following behind with his companions. There was a faint Sanskrit sound that was never far away. From the attic.
