Before the general changed his career to become a magic stick

"I heard that the youngest son of Marquis Zhongyi intends to kill the king, so he went to the palace!"

"Have you caught it?"

"No, I have a cousin who works in the palace. He said it was very strange. People disappeared out of thin air, and the little general seemed to be a monster, and he could roar like a wild animal."

"Is there such a thing? Although the Zhongyi Hou family is not as good as before, they are also a family of loyalty to the emperor and the country. How can there be a monster son?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's an association with a monster, intending to rebel! The emperor even ordered the Zhongyihou's mansion to be surrounded!"

"Sigh, it's been a troubled time recently. Not long ago, something happened to the minister of Dali Temple, and now something happened to the Zhongyihou's mansion. These days, it's not peaceful..."

In the tavern, a table of people gossiped while drinking wine, talking about all kinds of strange things that happened in the capital of Daqing recently.

This place is already far away from Kyoto, and those things don't have much impact on ordinary people, but they are just a few more things to talk about after dinner.

It was past noon at this time, there were only a few tables of guests in the tavern, and one of them sat at a table alone, sitting silently in a corner dressed in black.

The guest ordered a bowl of simple Yangchun noodles. He was eating with big mouthfuls, but when he heard the table next to him talk about what had happened in Kyoto recently, he slowed down and finally put down his chopsticks.

He only ate more than half of the noodles, but he just stared blankly at the bowl, as if he was still.

No one paid him much attention, he left a few copper coins, got up and left the tavern quietly.

Stepping into the light from the shadow of the eaves of the tavern, the guests couldn't help but look up at the clear sky.

His face was regular and handsome, but a little tired, and his cheeks were thinner.

But it was Guan Feiyue who disappeared in front of everyone in the palace that day.

The sky was as blue as washing, and the sun was pouring down, just like the day when Shen Buren left.

Guan Feiyue stood blankly on the side of the road for a while, then remembered that she was on her way to Yu Huai.

It has been less than half a month since that day, and Guan Feiyue escaped from under the eyes of the imperial guards with the help of an escape talisman given by Shen Buren.

But the distance the Earth Escape Talisman can reach is limited, at most it can only send Guan Feiyue outside the capital.

Guan Feiyue originally wanted to find an opportunity to return to the Zhongyihou's Mansion first, but the emperor saw that no one had been caught, so he couldn't wait to post an arrest warrant, and immediately sent people to surround the Zhongyihou's Mansion.

Guan Feiyue wandered outside the capital for two days, knowing that before he was caught, as the emperor's bargaining chip, he would not easily touch the Marquis of Loyalty and Justice. At the same time, the emperor sent troops to search people from house to house , and finally had to leave first.

A young general with outstanding military exploits in the Daqing Dynasty turned into a treacherous minister intent on killing the king.

Guan Feiyue was at a loss as to where to go, and finally decided to go to Shen Buren first, so he headed east, towards Yuhuai.

Yu Huai had to walk more than a month away from the capital, and Guan Feiyue didn't dare to take the main road, so he had to take some remote trails, eating and sleeping all the way, after a few days, he lost a lot of weight.

Moreover, in the past two days, he felt that his memory seemed to have declined, his reaction was a little slow, and his sleeping time was getting longer and longer.

At first, he thought it was because he was too tired from the journey, but when he went to the border before, he had traveled a more difficult road than this, and it was not as difficult as it is now.

At this time, Guan Feiyue recalled what Xiao Lang said that Shen Brunen was using his spiritual power to maintain his residual stability. At that time, he only paid attention to Shen Buren's injury and didn't think about it. , I felt that something was wrong.

According to this statement, the reason why I was fine before this was because Shen Buren supported me with spiritual power. Now that Shen Buren is not around, naturally there is no way to maintain stability.

It's just that when Shen Buren left, he thought that the matter could be resolved in a short period of time, but he didn't expect that people's hearts were complicated, and he could no longer stay in the capital, waiting for him to come back.

"When will your master come back? I miss him so much." Guan Feiyue leaned against a tree, gently stroking the sound asleep in his arms, and murmured.

About the fifth day after leaving the capital, Suyin suddenly fell asleep, often sleeping all day, only awake for an hour or two, forced to eat, and soon fell asleep again, no matter how loud the movement was, she would not wake up.

Seeing it like this, Guan Feiyue felt faintly uneasy in her heart, wondering if Shen Buren had anything to do with Ruyin's prolonged lethargy.

There was no news from Shen Buren, and the further east he went, the more Guan Feiyue felt something was wrong.

The miasma in the forest permeated the forest for a long time, and some villages began to experience the sudden death of livestock.

Some villagers said that there was a problem with the water, but the water drawn from the well was clear and clean, and it didn't look like there was any problem, and people were fine after drinking it.

Strange things happened one after another, and the uneasiness in Guan Feiyue's heart became more and more intense.

Guan Feiyue traveled side by side, and finally stepped into the border of Yuhuai today, but he was really exhausted, so he took a rest in the tavern just now.

Recently, his appetite has not been as good as before. He felt a little full before finishing a bowl of noodles, but his body seemed to be completely separated from his stomach. Such a small amount of food could not make up for the exhausted physical energy. He tried to eat more but felt nauseated vomit.

At Yuhuai Pass, Feiyue ran into trouble again, he only knew that Shen Buren had come here, but he didn't know exactly where he went.

Yuhuai County includes twelve cities, and the entire area is larger than Kyoto. Finding someone without any clues is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Now that the arrest warrants for the portrait of Feiyue have been posted all over the place, it is impossible for Guan Feiyue to ask around blatantly, but then he thought of the dense forest he saw in the soul leaving the body, although he was very uncertain. , but there is no other way but to try.

So he went all the way to the depths of the leafy forest.

After another day like this, Guan Feiyue passed a small village, and originally wanted to go in to ask for a drink, but as soon as he entered the village, he found something was wrong.

The location of this small village is very remote, right on the edge of the dense forest. Although it is much quieter than the city, it is too weird to be so quiet to the point of death.

A deserted village would make sense, but the problem is that there are fresh traces of life everywhere in this village, and the chimneys of the houses are still smoking, so it is impossible to be a deserted village.

But here is the problem.

The traces of human activities were so obvious, but Guan Feiyue didn't see a single person, and didn't even hear a human voice.

I knocked on the doors of several families one after another, but no one answered at all.

Guan Feiyue frowned slightly, pulled out the Yinyue knife, and opened the door of a house at will.

As expected, there was no one at all, not even a corpse.

Guan Feiyue inspected the inside and outside of the room, and found that the people here seemed to have disappeared in an instant. The steamed buns on the stove were still steaming, but the owner was no longer there. Only a pair of chopsticks were left beside the stove.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, but it's getting late, and it's not easy for Guan Feiyue to find a place to stay. Although it's weird everywhere, it's better than sleeping in the wild where the wind blows and dews.

Guan Feiyue put a few copper coins on the stove, picked up a few steamed buns and ate them, then leaned against the door and sat down against the wall, ready to spend the night.

At night, there was a strange movement outside the door, which woke up the drowsy Guan Feiyue.

He turned over quickly, pushed the door open a little with light movements, and looked out.

A group of people walked in, all holding torches in their hands, illuminating the whole village, but these people walked in a very strange posture, as if they were being drawn by someone with a string, their body movements were very stiff, and their steps were strangely consistent, swaying He hurried into the village.

Guan Feiyue could see through the light of the fire that these people were dressed as ordinary villagers, and they must be the residents of this village, but seeing their expressionless faces, dull eyes, gray complexions, and no heaving in their chests, one could tell that these villagers It is no longer alive.

Guan Feiyue has been with Shen Buren for so long, and has seen many strange things. The scene in front of him must be the corpse refining technique he mentioned.

It's just that I don't know who the culprit is, but he killed all these innocent villagers, and insulted the dead body like this after death.

Guan Feiyue didn't dare to move rashly, and held his breath to observe all the movements outside.

At this time, the villagers had already stopped and lined up quietly, and then a man walked in slowly.

She is tall and slender, dressed in a dark blue brocade robe, the material is gorgeous, she looks unusual, her ankle-length loose hair is white.

Guan Feiyue was a little puzzled, this man moved vigorously, his back was straight, he didn't look like an old man at all, how could he have such long snow-white hair?

He narrowed his eyes slightly to take a closer look at the man's appearance, but unfortunately the man happened to turn his back.

The man stood silently facing the villagers for a while, raised his arms slightly, and I don't know how he moved. The villagers' bodies were gradually covered with a faint halo, and then dispersed into small spots of light. He lifted it lightly, then swayed and floated towards the man's palm, and then continued to gather into a larger ball of light.

After the light spot left, the villagers seemed to have lost their support and collapsed one after another.

Guan Feiyue was startled, this person was taking the souls of these villagers!

Guan Feiyue clenched the Yinyue knife tightly, clenched her teeth, and wanted to go out to stop it, but she knew very well that in her current physical condition, rushing out rashly would only mean death.

When he was stalemate and hesitating, Suyin, who had been sleeping peacefully in his arms, moved slightly and woke up.

Guan Feiyue was engrossed in the white-haired man, and didn't notice that Suyin had slipped out of his arms. Seeing that man's eyes lit up, he struggled to jump out of Guan Feiyue's arms.

Startled by Suyin's movements, Guan Feiyue quickly stretched out her hand to press Suyin back, but unexpectedly, the always well-behaved Suyin was a little anxious, and refused to come out no matter what, she was so anxious that she turned towards the white-haired man Meow meowed.

It was too late for Guan Feiyue to stop her. The man turned his head vigilantly and looked in Guan Feiyue's direction. His eyes were cold and cold, looking at Guan Feiyue without any warmth.

This time, Guan Feiyue finally saw the man's appearance clearly, but she lost her mind in a trance. As soon as she let go of her hand, Su Yin happily ran towards the man, yelling softly all the way, and rubbed the man's calf intimately. .

Guan Feiyue stared blankly at the man, and slowly stood up, as if floating in the air, full of an unreal feeling of emptiness.

The two looked at each other silently for a moment, Guan Feiyue's heart beat violently, all kinds of emotions rushed into his heart in an instant, the corners of his mouth were raised high, but tears also flowed down.

"Shen Buren..."
