Shi Jiu's black robe was too inconspicuous in the night, if he didn't look at it specially, he would almost be ignored.

Shi Jiu didn't show any special emotion towards the emperor's arrival, he didn't even look at him except when he heard the ground shaking and looked back.Hearing the emperor calling him at this moment, he turned his head as if nothing had happened, nodded and said, "Your Majesty."

After discovering that Shijiu was here, the emperor believed most of the "second article" in the letter, and immediately stepped off Luanjia and walked towards Ji Qinglin.

Before Ji Qing approached, the emperor first glanced at Chi Ruogu next to him, raised his hand and ordered to the guards following behind him: "Press down."

Chi Ruogu didn't say a word, and there was no joy or sorrow on his face, as if everything that happened around him had nothing to do with him, and he was escorted forward by the soldiers from left to right.

Ji Qinglin looked at Chi Ruogu's fading back, spread his hands sideways to the tent and said, "Please, Your Majesty?"

The emperor did not hesitate, and ordered the guards behind him to stay outside the tent, and stepped into the tent alone.

"Master."

Seeing that Ji Qinglin was planning to join the emperor in his fortune, Xie Wuyi couldn't help but follow him. Although he knew that Ji Qinglin still had spiritual energy to protect him, the emperor could not help him, but he was still worried if he didn't accompany him personally.

Ji Qinglin naturally knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile, "You also come together."

The emperor didn't know who Xie Wuyi was, and he felt inexplicable when he called Xie Wuyi his master, but at the moment he really didn't have much interest in delving into these details, and his curiosity about the "second point" had already overshadowed everything else.

The three of them entered the tent, and the curtain fell, the emperor turned around and said, "Is it alright?"

Ji Qinglin nodded and smiled, stretched out his hand to Xie Wuyi and said, "Give me the sword."

The emperor was startled, and immediately glared at him vigilantly. Ji Qinglin laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? If I wanted to harm you, I would have been able to do it in the palace at that time. Why should I wait until now?"

When the emperor heard this, it was indeed true, but his vigilance was not completely dispelled, and he took a step back calmly.

Ji Qinglin was helpless, but he didn't stop him either. Anyway, the distance was enough for him to see clearly what was about to happen.

Qing'a was out of the sheath, but as soon as Ji Qinglin stretched out his hand, Xie Wuyi grabbed his wrist and looked at him in surprise.

Xie Wuyi didn't say a word, and directly slashed his hand on the blade, and stretched it out in front of Ji Qinglin.

"Hiss—" Ji Qinglin gasped, pulled Xie Wuyi's hand that was bubbling blood, and scolded, "You're going to die! Just make a small cut. The reason for bleeding so much is to raise fish." !"

As he said that, he quickly raised his hand to hang over the wound, and instilled spiritual energy to make it heal slowly.

This series of actions was fully seen by the emperor. He stared at the wound until it fully recovered. When Ji Qinglin had already poured water from the side to wash away the blood stains, the emperor was still watching in a daze. , as if he didn't come back to his senses.

After finally washing away the blood stains, Ji Qinglin still looked distressed, stretched out his fingertips to gently touch Xie Wuyi's palm, raised his head and said, "Does it still hurt?"

Xie Wuyi smiled lightly and shook his head, Ji Qinglin glared at him as a threat, then turned to the stunned emperor and said, "Have you seen it all?"

The emperor came back to his senses at this moment, nodded his head in a naive way, and asked tentatively, "Are you...a god?"

"It's not important." Ji Qinglin took out the jade pendant from his pocket and said, "As the second article in my letter said, the legendary carp that can guarantee longevity is in my hands. Now as long as you promise me two things, this fetish The future is yours."

The emperor stared at the jade pendant, could hardly move his eyes away, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ji Qinglin said: "First, be diligent in government and love the people, and do your duty as a king. Second, withdraw the guards on the mountain and follow me up the mountain."

The emperor wondered: "Why do you want to go up the mountain?"

Ji Qing didn't change his face and said: "The handover of the gods and objects is no small matter, you have to use a thing on the top of the mountain to cast the spell, how can I give it to you if you don't go up?"

The emperor was startled, but quickly nodded and said: "Okay."

Ji Qinglin smiled and said, "What about the first thing?"

The emperor's expression became serious, he cleared his throat, raised three fingers and swore: "God is above, today I..."

"Stop, stop, stop," Ji Qinglin interrupted him, "I swear this kind of thing will be avoided, anyway, the sky will not hear it, I will always pay attention to you in the future, if you violate today's promise, I will have my own way Take it back."

The emperor put his hands down embarrassingly, then nodded solemnly.

Ji Qinglin didn't say any more, and Xie Wuyi and the two went back outside the tent to talk to Shijiu and the others, and then led the emperor up the mountain.

The emperor knows this better than Ji Qinglin, so when Ji Qinglin asked him if he wanted to "prove" in public, he immediately chose to avoid everyone's eyes and go to the tent.

It's the same now, all the soldiers he met on the way up the mountain were ordered by him to go back down the mountain to stand by, obviously not intending to let anyone know about the existence of the fetish.

After all, Nanshan is a high peak, and the mountain road is long and long. When the three of them reached the top of the mountain, it was close to dawn.

"Is this what you want to rely on?" The emperor looked at the dragon's blood tree and asked.

"Yes."

Ji Qinglin responded, and without further explanation, he directly placed the jade pendant in the soil in front of the tree, raised his hands to guide the spiritual energy in the jade pendant to the root of the tree, and shattered little by little the eternal life lock set by the three gods back then .

Neither Xie Wuyi nor the emperor could see the aura flowing, but they could see the obvious changes in the dragon blood tree.

The original skin-like bark gradually darkened and blackened, and the dense pine needles on the crown began to shrink and fall one by one. After the pine needles fell, the dry black bark began to peel off in pieces, and the inside of the trunk was like blood. Fog, dissipated in the morning light.

In the blink of an eye, the whole dragon's blood tree was shattered as if it had been burned, leaving only a charred black powder on the ground.

As soon as Ji Qinglin raised his hand, the jade pendant came out of the ground and returned to his hand. The moment he held the jade pendant, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What kind of ceremony did the emperor think it was, but now seeing that the ceremony seemed to have been completed, he hesitated and said, "Is it over?"

Ji Qinglin turned around and smiled: "Not yet."

As he spoke, he walked back to Xie Wuyi, pulled Qing'a out, wiped his finger lightly on the blade of the sword, and handed the sword to the emperor again.

Suddenly the sword edge in front of him startled the emperor, and he immediately leaned back. Ji Qinglin said helplessly, "Don't be so startled all the time, can you? Make a cut and squeeze out two drops of blood."

Embarrassed, the emperor stretched out his hand to imitate Ji Qinglin and drew a stroke on the blade of the sword. Ji Qinglin grabbed his hand and put it on the jade pendant, then stuffed the jade pendant into his hand and said, "Okay."

The emperor seems to still feel that the things in front of him are very unreal, holding the jade pendant and muttering: "That's... all right?"

Ji Qinglin said: "Don't you know the cut on your hand?"

The emperor lowered his head and took a closer look, and saw that the small cut on his finger was healing very quickly, and he recovered in a short while. He raised his head and said in surprise: "Really..."

When he raised his head, what he saw was that Xie Wuyi was holding Ji Qinglin's cut finger in his mouth, and Ji Qinglin was looking at him with a smile on his lips, eyes full of tenderness.

On the top of the mountain, beside the sea of ​​clouds, in the morning light, white clothes dotted with green bamboos, blue robes like the sea, clothes fluttering, eyebrows and eyes picturesque, just like a couple of gods and immortals.

The emperor couldn't help but be fascinated by it, he had completely forgotten what it meant to not look at evil, he even forgot to blink, until Ji Qinglin lowered his hand and said "Hello" to him, then he recovered from his trance :"ah?"

Ji Qinglin smiled helplessly: "Going down the mountain."

The emperor woke up like a dream and said: "Oh, go down the mountain... go down the mountain."

All the way down from the top of the mountain, the emperor still felt like he was in a dream. When he was almost at the foot of the mountain, he finally couldn't help calling out to Ji Qinglin, frowned slightly and said in doubt: "Actually, I still don't want to understand." , since you have this fetish, why do you give it to me instead of using it yourself?"

Ji Qinglin glanced at Xie Wuyi who was looking back at them not far ahead, tilted his head and raised his hands to cover his mouth, whispered something to the emperor, put down his hands after speaking, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Understood?"

The emperor's eyes were full of disbelief, he stared at Ji Qinglin for a long time before blinking, and said awkwardly: "I understand, I understand."

Ji Qinglin nodded in satisfaction, continued to walk forward, and said as he walked, "There are actually quite a few people who know about this fetish in your hand, but Chi Ruogu is the only one who has worked hard to get it."

The emperor immediately understood what he meant, and said, "Is that what you said in your letter?"

In the letter he received from Baimao, the first one listed Chi Ruogu's numerous crimes, while the second one said that there was a god of longevity under the Nanshan Mountain, which Chi Ruogu wanted to possess. Own.

Because of this, he led his army to rush here to find out.

Ji Qinglin said: "That's right, the Qinan plague, the disappearance of Luming Mountain Villa, and the murder and arson case in Qingjiu Town were all planned by him. The reason why he involved these innocent people is just to coerce me to hand over the fetish." , and the reason why he took out the Jiyuantang in his hand to trade with you is just to transfer the Nanshan defenders and occupy the sacred tree on the top of the mountain to ensure the smooth handover of the sacred object."

The emperor was silent for a moment, then said sternly: "The crime should be punished."

Ji Qinglin was not surprised by his answer at all. The reason why he came to discuss Chi Ruogu's crimes with him after the jade pendant was handed over was to remind him that Chi Ruogu was not only a person who did many evil things, but also a person who coveted the fetish in his hands for a long time.

Now that the jade pendant is in his hands, even if it is to eradicate future troubles, he will definitely not keep Chi Ruogu, not to mention that Chi Ruogu is such a vicious person, it is only logical to get rid of him.

Ji Qinglin nodded, and continued: "This person is well versed in the art of deceiving people, and his eloquence is eloquent. In the future, even the person in charge of the custody may be tricked by him to help him seize the sacred object. Your Majesty still needs to take more precautions." .”

A trace of astonishment flashed in the emperor's eyes, apparently startled by this possibility, he gritted his teeth after a while and said, "Why do such criminals need to be imprisoned, they can be executed on the spot."

Ji Qinglin didn't say any more, because he wanted exactly this result.

Chi Ruogu's understanding of Four Seasons Valley is too thorough, and it is very likely that he will reveal the existence of Four Seasons Valley during the interrogation in order to save his life. However, the Four Seasons Valley that he said from his mouth will definitely not be the original appearance, and he will definitely reveal it. It is described as a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Daluan royal family.

In this way, not only Shijiu Ulanda and the remaining people in the Four Seasons Valley will be in trouble, but all the staff and communication points of the shocking family will be implicated.

Ji Qinglin cannot allow these forces that have been secretly protecting Daluan for thousands of years to be buried with Chi Ruogu, so Chi Ruogu must die, and he must die before he can speak.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, the first thing the emperor did was to ask the guards: "Where is the person who was taken away last night?"

The guard just answered "Your Majesty", before he could tell where he was, he raised his hand and said decisively: "Beheaded."

The guards took the order and went away, and the people who were drinking at the side looked at Ji Qinglin calmly.

When the three of Ji Qinglin went up the mountain last night, Shijiu and Fuqiu had already explained everything to Yinluo and Shi Buyu, so at this moment they could almost guess the reason why the emperor was so decisive.

Ji Qinglin ignored them, but looked at the emperor and said, "Last night, I learned from him that all the missing people in Luming Villa were locked up by him in the water pavilion of Lingfang Garden in Yuzhou. I hope His Majesty will send someone to rescue them."

The emperor nodded, and immediately gave orders, then looked at Ji Qinglin and said, "Thank you."

Knowing that he was not only thanking for the news, but also thanking himself for the jade pendant, Ji Qinglin smiled and said, "You're welcome."

The emperor didn't seem to know what else to say, and said with a little embarrassment: "Then, there will be..."

Before the last word was uttered, Ji Qinglin couldn't help laughing, and said while laughing: "You and your ancestors are indeed in the same line."

The emperor was a little confused, I don't know where his emotion came from, but Ji Qinglin suppressed his smile and said: "Whether there will be a future meeting depends on whether your majesty keeps his word, if what your majesty promised cannot be fulfilled, there must be a future meeting. "

The emperor choked for a moment, then blinked and said: "Then... it's better to have an indefinite future."

Ji Qinglin smiled and said, "I hope so."

The emperor didn't say any more, he nodded his head to signal his farewell, turned around and went to Luanjia, and after getting in the car, he remembered to ask Shijiu, "Master Zhangfeng, do you want to go back to Beijing with me?"

"No rush." ​​Shi Jiu replied.

The emperor nodded, raised his hand to signal his departure, and all the soldiers and horses down the mountain followed closely behind him.

After the loud sound of horseshoes stepping on the ground gradually disappeared, the foot of Nanshan Mountain became extremely quiet.

Under the sky, there was a pool of eye-catching blood on the grass in the distance. Ji Qinglin's gaze stayed on it for a moment, then turned around.

"Brother Grand Master."

"benefactor."

Yin Luo and Shi Buyu greeted him.

Because Shi Buyu has not spoken all year round, when he speaks, he jumps out word by word, unfamiliar and stiff, like a child who has just learned to speak, but the smile on his face is as bright as it was a thousand years ago.

Ji Qinglin rubbed his head, looked at Yinluo again, and said: "From now on, there will be nothing in this world to keep your memories, are you afraid?"
