Strange Records of Xijing

After coming out of the illusion, Pei Jingxing carefully observed the situation in the cave after a short period of dizziness.

The lamp oil was still burning, leaving a little black dust on the ground.Pei Jingxing took out his handkerchief, picked up some dust, and wiped it with his fingers.He was about to get closer to sniff, but he heard a faint voice from outside the cave: "Mr. Pei, you can't."

Pei Jingxing clenched the hand holding the gun tightly and looked around, but did not see anyone.He looked down and saw a gray rabbit with pricked ears.

Having been with Su Yan for a long time, Pei Jingxing was not surprised that a rabbit could talk, but just after a fierce battle happened here, a little rabbit spirit appeared here, so he had to be more vigilant.

"What's your name? How long have you been here?"

The gray-haired rabbit replied honestly: "I'm a rabbit spirit on this mountain, called Tu Si." Seeing Pei Jingxing walking into him with a gun in his hand, it was very nervous and backed away, "Mr. Pei, I know your , I also know Daoist Su Yan, I am not a bad rabbit. Yes, Daoist Su Yan asked me to stay here until you wake up!"

Hearing what it said, Pei Jingxing couldn't help asking: "Su Yan asked you to stay here? What else did he say?"

The gray-haired rabbit nodded and replied, "Daoist Su Yan said that his body is occupied by someone, and his soul can't come back for the time being. Daoist Wan and the deposed prince jointly planned to use his body to revive his soul, and then harm the current emperor."

"And then?" Pei Jingxing asked, "What else did Su Yan say?"

The gray-haired rabbit shook his head, and replied: "Not anymore. At that time, the body of Daoist Su Yan was occupied by evil spirits, and the soul of Daoist Su Yan only had time to explain this, and then disappeared."

Pei Jingxing asked again: "Where is this place? How far is it from Xijing?"

The gray-haired rabbit replied: "This is Mount Luan, more than 500 miles away from Xijing."

He ran so far!

Pei Jingxing knew that he could not waste any more time, he nodded and thanked the gray-haired rabbit, and then left.

Unexpectedly, the gray-haired rabbit mustered up his courage and stepped forward to hug Pei Jingxing's right leg.It was disturbed by the murderous aura on Pei Jingxing's body and the dragon's head and tiger's tooth gun in his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Pei, if you want to go to Xijing, can we help?"

"You?" Pei Jingxing looked down at the gray-haired rabbit, "Who else?"

The gray-haired rabbit raised its head and let out a scream, and then there were rustling sounds from outside the cave.

Pei Jing walked out of the cave.Behind the mountains, wisps of sunlight shine through the gaps.With this little light, Pei Jingxing saw that the mountain road in front of him was full of traces left by their previous fight.He turned around again, and saw many beasts and birds on the mountain following the sound of the rabbit and gathering towards Pei Jingxing's location.

The gray-haired rabbit explained to Pei Jingxing: "We are also members of the Little Demon League. Daoist Su Yan is in trouble. Although we can't do much, we still want to help Pei Jie."

While speaking, a flying crane landed in front of Pei Jingxing, his body was several times stronger, and he was even taller than Pei Jingxing in an instant.

Feihe lowered his head and looked at Pei Jingxing docilely.

The gray-haired rabbit said again: "This is the fastest flying crane here. Mr. Pei, hurry up."

Pei Jingxing just hesitated for a moment, and Su Yan's comfort overcame his fear of riding a crane to fly into the sky.

Feihe carried Pei Jingxing on his back, stepped on the ground a few times with his slender feet, and sprinted forward!In mid-air, the flying crane spread its wings, carried Pei Jingxing on its back and flew over the cliff, across the river, and rushed all the way towards Xijing!

When Pei Jingxing rushed to Xijing, "Su Yan" had already passed the inspection at the gate of Xijing City and entered the city.

Although it was not yet the time for the curfew, the people on the street were in a hurry, passing quickly with their heads bowed under the urging of many Jinwu guards.The business stalls on both sides were also closed, and the doors and windows of the stores were closed.

"Su Yan" joined the crowd and arrived at Dening Square in a roundabout way.

It was still the same courtyard with two entrances, the ground was full of dust, and even the wreckage of Li Daoren's puppet was still on the ground.

Wan Daoshi was already waiting in the yard.Seeing "Su Yan" approaching, he stepped forward to greet him: "Meet Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Su Yan" nodded, and covered his nose in distaste: "Can you get used to the smell?"

Taoist Wan apologized and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, this is just a place for us to stay temporarily."

"Su Yan" didn't struggle too much, and asked him again: "Are you ready?"

Taoist Wan took out a smoked ball with a hollow flower and bird pattern, and offered it to "Su Yan" with both hands: "Ready. Wearing this, you can restrain the breath of death on your body. Even Zhou Yuyi won't be able to detect it."

"Su Yan" nodded, took the smoked ball, hung it on his waist, and said, "Where is the emperor now?"

Taoist Wan replied: "After the assassination of Fahuai Temple, the emperor was escorted back to the imperial city by the Habayashi army. On the way down, the crown prince should have seen Jinwu guards patrolling, right?" Speaking of this, Taoist Wan disdain He sneered, "The emperor was scared out of his wits. Not only did he ask everyone to stay at home and not go out, but he also ordered Xijing to be closed to the outside world for the next ten days, and there were no gatherings of people in Xijing."

"Su Yan" sighed, "It's really a tragedy for the Zhou Dynasty to have such courage to become the emperor."

Daoist Wan flattered: "His Royal Highness ascended the throne and set things right. It is indeed a blessing for all people, and everyone expects it."

"Su Yan" handed Daoist Wan a jade pendant, and told him: "Back then, many of my old men died tragically because of me, and after their death, they were put on a mass grave outside the city by the dog emperor. Now take my jade pendant and immediately go to the city. When you arrive In the mass grave, you will see a dry well carved with horned dragons. That dry well has a forbidden curse set by your junior brother, so you can break it, right?"

Taoist Wan took the jade pendant with both hands, nodded and said, "Of course."

"Su Yan" nodded in satisfaction, and said: "After you undo the curse, throw the jade pendant into the dry well at midnight, and my old department will obey you. You let them attack before sunrise." In the imperial city, anyone who disobeys will be killed."

Taoist Wan took the order: "Yes!"

He hesitated for a while, and reminded "Su Yan": "Then Pei Jingxing has a dragon-headed and tiger-toothed spear by his side. I don't know where he is right now? If he appears, the prince's old department may be..."

"Don't worry," "Su Yan" raised his left hand, signaling Taoist Wan not to say any more, "He has been trapped by my illusion and is about to starve to death in the cave."

Daoist Wan bowed deeply towards "Su Yan" and said, "As expected of His Royal Highness."

After explaining this, "Su Yan" and Taoist Wan split up.

Let's talk about "Su Yan" first.He left Deningfang, identified himself to the patrolling Jinwu Guards, and was brought to the gate of the imperial city without any problems.

The Habayashi Army searched "Su Yan" cautiously, took off the sharp blade he was carrying, and then sent someone to send him to the emperor.

The emperor did not sit in the main hall, but hid in a remote garden.When "Su Yan" arrived, he saw many Habayashi soldiers guarding under the inner and outer walls of the other garden with a distance of three steps between them.In the other garden, there are five or six rows of Habayashi troops patrolling back and forth.Going further in, Taoist monks surrounded the water pavilion, and the water for a week in the water pavilion had been drained.

I'm really afraid of death.

"Su Yan" was disdainful in his heart, and followed the Habayashi army leading the way to the only bridge leading to the water pavilion.

A monk stopped their footsteps, clasped his hands together, greeted the Habayashi army, then stretched out his left index finger and middle finger, and tapped on the forehead of "Su Yan".

"Su Yan" didn't get flustered, and allowed the monk to pry openly.

After a while, the monk withdrew his left hand, said "Excuse me" to "Su Yan", and gave way to the two of them.

But they had just passed a turning, and another Taoist blocked the way.The Taoist priest was not as polite as the previous monk. He directly took out a yellow talisman, stood it in front of his chest, and muttered something.

"Su Yan" watched the Taoist priest's performance with a smile, without any panic.

Sure enough, the Taoist didn't detect any abnormalities, and let Su Yan and the Yulin Army continue to pass.

Finally, they came to the gate of Shuixie, and this time it was Gao Zekai, a disciple of the National Normal University, who came to test "Su Yan".

Gao Zekai and Su Yan were old acquaintances, unlike the previous two who were silent, he asked, "Su Daoist, where is Pei Jingxing?"

"Su Yan" replied: "He is entangled by the enemy and cannot escape."

With this answer, Gao Zekai couldn't find any mistakes, quickly formed a seal in his hand, and tapped on the forehead of "Su Yan" - there was nothing unusual.

Gao Zekai turned sideways and said, "Su Daochang, please."

"Su Yan" nodded, strode forward, and pushed open the door.

Inside the room, the emperor with a decadent face was fiddling with Ruyi with both hands.He heard the door open, raised his head, and asked, "How's the situation?"

"Su Yan" closed the door first, came to the emperor, and replied in a deep voice: "I chased the enemy into a cave, and that cave has a passage leading to ghosts and monsters. The enemy rushed into the passage, and I was worried about your majesty's safety, so I Hurry back and return to life first."

The national teacher stood aside and asked vigilantly: "Where is Pei Jingxing who is with you?"

"Su Yan" had already prepared a set of arguments, and replied calmly: "On the way back, we were attacked by strange ghosts. He was worried about His Majesty's safety, so he blocked the attack of strange ghosts for me, and let me Come back quickly."

The emperor had long lost his patience, he raised his hand to stop the national teacher from continuing to ask, and asked "Su Yan" himself: "That enemy, do you have any clues?"

"Su Yan" smiled and replied, "Of course. Where's Your Majesty?"

"Su Yan!" The emperor was furious: "I am asking you a question."

"Su Yan" didn't care, just said: "Since Your Majesty already knows the identity of the enemy, why do you still ask me?"

The emperor leaned forward, put his hands on the table, and stood up.He fixed his eyes on "Su Yan", hopelessly hoping to see any signs of lying on Su Yan's face.

After a while, the emperor confirmed again and again with a trembling voice: "Really...really, the abolished prince?"

"Su Yan" nodded and replied: "That's right, it's exactly, waste, grand master."

Pong!

The emperor fell back on the chair, if it wasn't for the Guoshi's eyesight and hand to help him, I'm afraid he would fall to the ground with the chair and himself.

"It's really him, it's really him," the emperor repeated these four words trembling all over, "it's really him."

"Su Yan" narrowed his eyes, and comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't panic, I have driven this useless prince back to the ghosts, and His Majesty is not in danger for the time being."

But the emperor shook his head again and again: "No, no. When he was a human, I couldn't compare to him. Now he is a ghost, and he can't die again. I can escape today, so what about next time?"

The national teacher repeatedly comforted: "Your Majesty don't have to worry, with me here, I will definitely protect His Majesty."

The emperor nodded: "That's right, the national teacher has great powers, please also ask the national teacher to protect me well."

"Su Yan" said at this time: "Your Majesty, I have a way to avoid future troubles."

The emperor was overjoyed when he heard the words, and his eyes became bright again: "What can Daoist Su do?"

"Su Yan" didn't answer him in a hurry, but looked at the national teacher and said, "This is my teacher's secret method."

The emperor quickly waved his hand, motioning for the national teacher to go down.

The national teacher was about to speak, but the emperor ordered impatiently: "National teacher, go and check for me whether the forbidden spells around are invalid."

The national teacher had no choice but to leave first.
