Strange Records of Xijing

Once he hid within the protection range of the Habayashi Army, the prince heaved a sigh of relief, and then he gritted his teeth with hatred: "Why is it so late to save you!"

Li Xinnu hastily pleaded guilty: "Your Highness, forgive me, it was too late to save the general, so please give the general a chance to redeem himself."

The prince's complexion improved a bit, looked at Taoist Wan who stood in front of everyone, softened his tone, and asked, "Master Wan, what's going on?"

Daoist Wan didn't turn his head, stared at the statue of the goddess lying on the ground, and replied, "Perhaps the young disciple accidentally touched something that shouldn't be touched, which made the statue of the goddess out of control."

Seeing that Taoist Wan was fearless in the face of danger, the crown prince calmed down a little: "Master Wan, I will leave the female statue to you today."

Daoist Wan replied straight away: "Yes, I will definitely live up to His Highness's trust."

While the two were talking, the goddess statue had stood up again.At this time, the goddess statue has lost the outer layer of jade-like body, revealing the muddy body inside, only the smiling face and half of the neck are as white as jade.

The celestial girl opened her mouth and let out a shrill cry, then jumped up from the ground, with the streamers wrapped around her arms like two swimming dragons, and charged towards the prince behind Wan Daoshi!

Daoist Wan took a step forward with his left foot in an unhurried manner, raised his mahogany sword in his hand, and muttered something.

"Cut!" Daoist Wan shouted, shaking his wrist, the streamer coming from the left was cut into two by the mahogany sword, and fell heavily to the ground, making a big hole.

On the other side, Li Xinnuo came out and cut off Mo Dao, feeling the pain of the tiger's head, and with a muffled grunt, Mo Dao fell to the ground with blood in his hand.

But this has given Wan Daoshi enough time.

With his right foot as the center of the circle, Taoist Wan turned around and nimbly went around to the other side of the prince. The mahogany sword in his hand aimed at the streamer again and slashed down.But this time, the speed of the goddess statue was faster, and the streamer was pulled back in an instant, causing Wan Daoshi to shoot down the air.

The celestial girl seemed to see that her move had failed, so she took back the broken streamer, turned it around again, and there was a sharp sword in her hand.

In the 30 years after his death, the prince had seen many strange people and things when he was dormant at the junction of the underworld and the human world in order to be able to resurrect and regain everything that belonged to him, but this was the first time he saw the female statue.The prince didn't even expect that although the female statue was made of clay, she was as flexible as a human being. She killed Taoist Wan's apprentice in an instant, and now she has a tie with Taoist Wan.

If the delay continues, once the ghost emperor wakes up, his plan to easily seize the ghost emperor's power will definitely come to nothing.

Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help being anxious: "Master Wan, let's make it quick."

"Yes!"

Daoist Wan responded, this time he took the initiative to attack, and with a shake of his left hand, the four talisman papers flew towards the left and right, floating in the air, surrounding the goddess statue in the middle.

The celestial maiden sensed something was wrong, and wanted to leave the talisman paper, but it seemed that she had hit an invisible barrier, and she couldn't go forward, backward, left, or right, and she couldn't go up to the sky or into the earth.

Taoist Wan inserted the mahogany sword behind his back, squeezed a Heavenly Thunder Jue with his hands on his chest, and recited the Five Thunders Curse in his mouth.Everyone could only hear the loud thunder above their heads, and the originally cloudless sky was shrouded by thick dark clouds at some point.Thunder light flickered in the dark clouds, and there seemed to be countless lightning snakes swimming around.

Outside the forest, Su Yan and the other three who were squatting on guard had already noticed something strange in the forest.When the national teacher saw the dark clouds in the sky, he didn't need to pinch his fingers to know who did it in the forest.

"Wan Changqing actually hooked up with the prince!" The national teacher never dreamed that his senior brother who had been hiding in hiding for 30 years like a bereaved dog would become a person next to the prince under his nose.

The national teacher couldn't help thinking of the young Taoist priest who had saved the prince earlier, also surnamed Wan.At that time, although he had doubts about this Taoist priest of unknown origin, but after thinking about it, he thought how could there be such a coincidence in the world, so he didn't go into it.Thinking about it now, the national teacher really regretted it.

Neither Pei Jingxing nor Su Yan thought of this level, Pei Jingxing was surprised and asked, "Is it your senior brother?"

"This tactic of the five thunders is indeed my senior brother's method." The national teacher shook his hand, "We must go in quickly, once the thunder falls, there is no room for turning back."

Su Yan and Pei Jingxing also knew that this was not the time to ask about the past, the former drew out the mahogany sword carried on his back, and the latter drew out the horizontal knife hanging from his waist, and the three of them walked quietly towards the depths of the forest.

At the same time, Taoist Wan's Five Thunders Curse had come to an end, and the dark clouds in the sky kept gathering over the statue of the goddess, and it seemed that it was about to press down on the statue of the goddess.

The goddess did not give up, she still kept trying to break through the barriers around her, but failed again and again.The clods of mud all over her body fell one after another, and before they touched the ground, they turned into a puddle of mud three feet below the feet of the goddess statue.

"...Hurry up like a law!"

Daoist Wan finally recited the last sentence of the Five Thunder Curse, and everyone only heard the thunder above their heads grow louder, and a light snake roared down from the dark clouds, and with dazzling light, it hit the goddess statue directly!

The celestial maiden was trapped, unable to dodge, and before she could even utter a scream, she was pierced by the light snake and torn apart.

Taoist Wan removed the spell barrier, took two steps forward, and picked up the head of the goddess statue that had fallen to the ground.

This was also the first time Wan Daoshi observed the statue of a goddess up close. At first glance, he couldn't help frowning.But it was only a matter of a moment, Wan Daoshi quickly let go of his brows, holding the head of the goddess statue in both hands, and walked to the scorched earth that should have been the temple of the goddess.

Taoist Wan placed the head of the goddess statue on the ground when he suddenly noticed a movement under his feet and hurriedly moved away.

A handful of black guns came out from the ground and brushed against Wan Daoshi's left arm, leaving a wound.

"Who disturbed my lucid dream?"

A deep voice came from the ground, resounding in everyone's ears, with supreme majesty.

Some of the Habayashi soldiers couldn't bear it anymore, fell to the ground with a horizontal knife in their hands, and knelt on the ground trembling on one knee, barely restraining the urge in their hearts to pay homage to the owner of the voice.

Wan Daoshi stroked the wound on his left arm with three fingers of his right hand, the blood barely stopped, but the wound was still scary.

A man shrouded in black air slowly rose from the ground. He bent down, picked up the head of the goddess statue, and held it in his arms.Although they couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, the people present had an inexplicable intuition about how tenderly this man was looking at the remaining head of the goddess statue.

"I thought I would forget your appearance," the man murmured, "I found out later that even in a dream, I can't escape your doom."

Taoist Wan looked up and down a few times, his heart tightened, and he was about to take the opportunity to retreat quietly, but as soon as he moved, the man immediately noticed it.

I don't know what the man did. For a while, countless hands with only bones left were drilled out of the ground, firmly grasping the feet of these people.

Li Xinnu was startled, subconsciously wanted to struggle, and suddenly heard a few screams from behind. It turned out that several Habayashi soldiers tried to chop these skeletons with horizontal knives, but they were caught underground instead. It's outside.

"Your Highness, no!" Li Xinnu immediately warned the prince.

The prince has been a ghost for 30 years. Except for the surprise when he faced the accident at the beginning, he is calmer than Li Xinnu: "I understand."

Taoist Wan was the closest to the ghost emperor, so he had to be careful, deliberately pretending to be ignorant, and asked, "Who is your Excellency?"

"You don't know?" Ghost Emperor raised his head, his words were full of disdain.

Through the black air, Taoist Wan could clearly feel Ghost Emperor's sharp blade-like eyes.

"I really don't know," Taoist Wan could only continue to pretend to be stupid, "Many people come to this Tiannv temple to pray for blessings and make wishes, but in the end they die unexpectedly after their wishes are fulfilled. Could it be that your Excellency is..."

"Tiannv Temple? Hehe," the Ghost Emperor sneered, ignoring Taoist Wan, and turned to the prince instead, "There is something wrong with you."

The ghost emperor's eyes pierced through the black mist around him, piercing the deepest fear in the prince's heart.The latter's pupils shrank, his hands retracted into his sleeves, and he clenched into fists tightly, without speaking.

Taoist Wan frowned, and said again: "We are here to catch the demon under the order of the Son of Heaven. If your Excellency has nothing to do with this matter, please leave quickly."

"A demon?" The Ghost Emperor glanced at Taoist Wan with disdain, and then looked at the prince with interest, "There is no demon here, but there is a ghost with deep-rooted demons in his heart!"

"I didn't know that there are Taoist priests in this world who saw a ghost stealing a house, not only did not drive out the ghost for the original owner, but also worked for the ghost."

While the ghost emperor was speaking, everyone felt that a black shadow flashed in front of them, and then they saw that the ghost emperor had already arrived in front of the prince.

Before the prince could react in time, he felt a chill in his heart.He looked down, and it turned out to be the ghost emperor's hand, which reached into his body at some point and held his hot heart again after 30 years.

"Ghost Emperor, be merciful!" Daoist Wan's heart soared, "We have no grievances with you, why should you do this..."

"You recognize me now?" Ghost Emperor turned his head, with a sneering smile in his words, "You interrupted my sweet dreams, so I can't teach you a lesson?"

Wan Daoshi only felt cold sweat running down his back.It is true that the purpose of their trip is to take advantage of the opportunity to seize the power of the Ghost Emperor while he is asleep, but this plan has failed at the moment, if the Ghost Emperor finds out...

Thinking of this, Taoist Wan calmed down and continued his lie: "The ghost emperor is serious. We only know that there is a strange statue of a goddess here, which killed many people, so His Majesty ordered me to come here Exorcism."

"Then Your Majesty knows this person..."

"Your Majesty the Ghost Emperor!" Daoist Wan interrupted the Ghost Emperor loudly, and then lowered his voice immediately, with some pleading, "You have already transcended the world, so why bother with these worldly affairs?"

"Since I'm called the ghost emperor, can't I take care of the affairs of a little ghost?"

Seeing that the Ghost Emperor had no intention of giving up, Wan Daoshi took a deep breath and proposed a deal: "Your Majesty Ghost Emperor, do you want to know the whereabouts of your son?"

The black mist around the ghost emperor felt the vibration in the master's heart, and instantly froze in midair.

"What did you say?" Ghost Emperor was furious, "If you lie to me, do you know what the consequences will be!"

"How dare I lie to you?" Daoshi Wan earnestly said, "I know where he is now. As long as you let Your Highness go, I will definitely tell you where he lives."

The Ghost Emperor still didn't believe it: "How did you know about this?"

Daoist Wan smiled wryly: "This matter has something to do with my ineffective junior brother. In fact, not only me, but also several fellow Taoists and eminent monks know about this matter. It's just that the child disappeared suddenly more than ten years ago, and his whereabouts are unknown. I also only found out about his reappearance more than a year ago."

Seeing that the Ghost Emperor was silent, Taoist Wan continued: "Your Majesty Ghost Emperor has great powers, how dare I deceive you? Take a step back and say, even if I deceive you, with your ability, it is not difficult to find me and kill me." .Your Majesty, my life is like an ant in your eyes, but your son..."

"Okay, I'll just trust you once." Ghost Emperor said, pulling out the hand that was holding the prince's heart.

The prince subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover his chest, only to find that there was no scar on his left chest, not even a trace of blood.

"Say, where is my son?"

Facing the ghost emperor who was like a mountain and abyss in front of him, Daoist Wan was beating drums in his heart. He whispered a few words to the ghost emperor, bowed his head respectfully, and did not raise his head again until the ghost emperor left.

The skeleton that emerged from the ground shrank back again, and the Habayashi Army just woke up like a dream, surrounded the prince and Wan Taoist, and protected them in the center.

"Damn it!" Seeing that he was about to succeed, but fell short in the end, and was so useless, the prince was furious, and slapped Taoist Wan on the face, "If it wasn't for your apprentice, we would have succeeded by now!"

Daoist Wan did not dare to stretch out his hand to cover it, so he had to persuade: "Your Highness, calm down. Although this operation failed, we still have a chance. The ability to capture the ghost emperor is nothing more than to facilitate His Highness to eradicate dissidents more quickly and successfully ascend the throne. We still have Other methods."

"I've been waiting for 30 years," the prince said angrily, "I finally found a shortcut, but it just disappeared! Also, you just said that the Ghost Emperor has a son, why didn't I know?"

Taoist Wan couldn't say clearly: "This matter is related to my junior brother, I just heard about it."

The prince obviously didn't believe it, he frowned and asked, "Since it's just heard, why do you know the whereabouts of Ghost Emperor's son?"

"The ghost emperor cherishes the female statue so much, so the original owner of the female statue must be the beloved woman of the ghost emperor. The appearance of this female statue is very similar to someone I have ever seen."

The prince became curious, and ordered the Habayashi army next to him: "Go, pick up the head of the goddess statue for me."

After the ghost emperor knew his son's whereabouts, the head of the goddess statue in his hand was thrown aside.The Yulin Army quickly found the revelation of the goddess statue, and the two worked together to move it reluctantly and presented it to the prince.

The prince looked at it carefully for a long time, and said: "I seem to have seen this appearance somewhere. Where is the ghost emperor's son now? If we control him, then we may be able to form an alliance with the ghost emperor."

Wan Daoshi's heart trembled, and he hurriedly persuaded the prince to give up this idea: "Your Highness, Yin and Yang are separated, and the affairs of the world have nothing to do with the Ghost Emperor, and the Ghost Emperor will never tolerate a mortal using his son to threaten him. The Ghost Emperor only has such a son. For the safety of his son, he might kill everyone who knows his son's whereabouts. I don't tell His Highness, it's for His Highness's sake."

Thinking of the pain from the cold to the marrow all over his body just now, the corners of the prince's mouth twitched a few times: "Since he is so powerful, as long as he wants to kill me, what does it matter if I know?"

Taoist Wan shook his head and said, "Your Highness, the Son of Heaven is ordered by Heaven, even if it is the Ghost Emperor, we must avoid it by three points. When we return to the palace, we will be protected by the Qi of the Son of Heaven, and the Ghost Emperor will not dare to do it easily. But if the Ghost Emperor He feels that we are a threat to him and goes crazy, that is something that God cannot stop."

Only then did the prince give up his thoughts, and stretched out his hand to flick the lifeless head of the goddess statue: "Okay, at least this time, the statue of the goddess will be solved. Destroy this, and go back to the palace."

The people present did not notice that a black thread floated out from the mouth of the celestial goddess, quickly got into the sleeve of the prince, and disappeared in an instant.

Several Habayashi soldiers drew their horizontal knives on the spot and split the head of the goddess into several pieces. The mouth of the goddess was divided into two parts, one high and the other low. From a distance, it seemed to be a contemptuous smile.
