The capital city of the previous week has undergone the changes of the times and the migration of plates into today's coastal city - Xuanping. Thanks to the convenient sea transportation, as an important trading port city, Xuanping has developed faster than the inland areas at the beginning of the reform and opening up. be quick.

After leaving Zhou Lingshu's house, walk along the tree-lined road on the right, and the sea breeze blows head-on, bringing a fresh smell that belongs to the sea.The summer here comes earlier than in Lancheng, and the temperature has already risen to the season where short sleeves can be worn.

Shi Xuan noticed Zhou Lingshu's expression. He carefully looked at the buildings and things around him, even though it was quite different from the hometown he remembered, and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Zhou hasn't been here for a long time?"

"It's been a few years." Zhou Lingshu said as he walked, the sunlight passed through the gaps of the sycamore trees along the way and evenly sprinkled on the top of his head, making it look warm and soft.

This section of the road is a residential area, with rows of white walls and black tiles, neat and uniform.Occasionally, you can meet women and children sitting at the door picking vegetables and washing rice. They are plainly dressed but gentle and friendly, and the atmosphere is peaceful.

A group of children passed by them holding a windmill, and Zhou Lingshu continued until they were far away: "Over the years, there have been too many things in the company, and it is impossible to leave. I am used to being alone, and I like to do everything by myself. people."

His Majesty the Emperor, who has lived in the temple for a long time, has long been accustomed to the life of intrigue and intrigue, and has developed a suspicious character, even if he forgot that in modern society, there are not so many people who eat bears' hearts and leopards will kill people and seek power. usurper.

It is indeed the most ambitious emperor in the history of the previous Zhou Dynasty. He is completely different from his father who is known as the "benevolent emperor". Emperor Qingwu's methods and abilities are by no means comparable to ordinary people. He became a new generation of business giants.

The three of them walked forward for a long distance, turned left at the end of the road, and walked for another ten minutes before arriving at the location Zhou Lingshu had mentioned.

Zhou Lingshu stood in front of a row of buildings, looked up at the vermilion doorplate, and said, "This is the former Prince Mu's Mansion."

Shi Xuan and Yao Peizhou followed his gaze, and the buildings that came into view were completely different from other houses along the way. The antique courtyards were full of peach blossoms. In this season, the flowering period is about to pass, but there is no sign of withering. trend.

"Who are you looking for?" A cold female voice interjected. The girl was wearing a simple and elegant dress with Chinese elements, her long hair reached her waist, and she held a small bamboo basket in her hand. She sized up the three people standing at the door.

Shi Xuan said, "We're here for tourism, and this place is different from other places. I want to ask what's here?"

"This is a homestay run by my family." The girl said as she pushed open the vermilion door: "Since you are a tourist, why don't you come in and have a seat? Next time you need it, you can book a room in our house in advance."

"What about today, can't you make a decision?" Shi Xuan asked her.

The girl glanced back at him, and then replied: "I have to ask my grandfather about this, he is in charge of the room reservation, I don't know."

"If you can, please give us a room." Zhou Lingshu continued her words and said, "I am willing to pay ten times the price."

"It's not a question of money, sir." The girl was unmoved, she walked in and said: "If it's full, even if you say you want to spend your wallet on the whole store, I still have to refuse you, because first come, first served, business Be honest. You wait here for a while, and I will ask."

When the girl walked away, Shi Xuan turned to look at Yao Peizhou, and asked him, "How is it, how do you feel?"

Yao Peizhou closed his eyes, sensed the fluctuations in the spiritual power of the entire hotel with his own cultivation, and then slowly opened his eyes: "It's very weak in the northeast direction."

The two exchanged a look, and quickly moved towards the sensed direction.This is the same direction as the girl left. When they arrived, they just saw the girl pushed open the door and walked in.

"It's here." Yao Peizhou said, and then he rushed up, and before the door could close, he pushed it open with his palm.

This movement frightened the people in the room. The person sitting under the low couch let out an exclamation, jumped off the couch, looked at the three uninvited guests warily, and asked, "Who are you?" Ah! Who let you in!"

The direction of the voice was a bit strange, Shi Xuan lowered his head to look for it, and saw that the speaker was an old man with white hair, less than one meter tall, wearing a navy blue long cloth shirt, and leaning on a pear wood walking stick in his hand, Shi Xuan stared at him. While watching, he subconsciously took a step back.

"You are her grandfather?" Shi Xuan knelt down and looked at the old man, his eyes full of inquiry.

"Nonsense...Of course I am!" The old man shielded the girl behind him, and the crutch in his hand became a weapon in front of him.

Shi Xuan couldn't help sneering: "It's really strange, I've never heard that earth spirits can also move people's hearts, marry wives and have children, and reproduce, and even granddaughters are so old?"

"You..." The old man glared at him, then suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "How do you know?"

"You don't even look, who is this?" Shi Xuan took a step aside, and Yao Peizhou, who had been blocked by him after entering the door, appeared in front of the old man.

"This——" the old man narrowed his eyes slightly, bent over, looked at Yao Peizhou carefully, and quickly searched for the matching partner in his mind. It took a full 3 minutes before his eyes widened in surprise. He let out a long cry, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed and saluted: "The Superintendent God...it turned out to be the Superviser God, the old man has neglected the God, and I hope to make amends!"

"Don't talk nonsense." Yao Peizhou rolled his eyes and said in a cold voice, "Why do you live here for a long time?"

"Hey, it's a long story!" Di Ling sighed, with a dignified expression:

"I don't know why this place, it's clearly a treasure land of geomantic omen, but there are a lot of evil people. Throughout the ages, none of the families who settled here have a good end. The separation of wives and children, and the death of their families are trivial matters, and the neighbors within a radius of ten miles have followed suit. Unlucky. So, God, you see, no one has ever lived within a few hundred meters of this courtyard."

Hearing what he said, Shi Xuan remembered that this was really the case.Although there are residential areas along the road, after turning the corner from Zhou Lingshu's yard, almost all of them are uninhabited buildings.

"The people are miserable, and they have nothing to do. They have recruited countless quack warlocks to cast spells, but unfortunately they are useless, and the old man has spiritual consciousness at that time. After listening to the complaints and prayers of the people, I am here It's settled. After I came, this place has a short period of peace."

The promenade in the yard twists and turns, bypassing the green grape trellises and the crystal-clear artificial lake. A group of people are led by Di Ling to the backyard.This place is like a paradise in the water town of the south of the Yangtze River, full of vigor and vitality, even breathing is particularly refreshing.

Zhou Lingshu stood in the courtyard and looked back and forth several times. In his memory, he almost never entered the backyard of Prince Mu's mansion. What a good face, and how could there be such a scene of visiting such brothers and friends.

In the next moment, the scenery in the whole yard changed suddenly. All the flowers, plants and trees turned into withered dead wood. The lotus pond became a pool of stagnant water. It was full of spider webs.

This is the true face of this backyard——

Shi Xuan turned his head to look at Di Ling, and his eyes also turned to this side, and then explained: "There is no grass growing in this backyard, and nothing can be planted, so there is really no way, so I used spiritual power to create an illusion, and I usually look at it. It's no different from the usual scenery, and the human race who come here to stay can't see it."

Yao Peizhou walked to the depths of the yard, and pushed aside the area blocked by the broken branches. Under it, it looked like a dusty stone tablet.It was covered by years of gravel and rubble, and it couldn't see its original appearance at all.His fingertips were surrounded by white light, and he slowly stretched towards the stone tablet.

The stele seemed to have received his reaction, sending out bursts of tinnitus humming.Afterwards, it began to glow, and the light penetrated through the gaps, and the thick dust that had condensed on it was swallowed up by it little by little, and the stone tablet shrank little by little as the sand and rubble were swallowed.

Not long after, a piece of emerald green jade appeared in front of them, and a totem of leaping dragon and tiger was printed in everyone's eyes, with a line of obscure ancient characters engraved on the lower left corner.

Shi Xuan raised his head to look at Zhou Lingshu, only to find that the other party was staring at the piece of jasper in a daze. The latter opened his mouth but didn't say a word, and immediately knelt down in front of the crowd towards the piece of jade, solemnly and rigorously I made a kneeling salute.

Yao Peizhou probably saw the doubts of "Chu Yu", and explained: "This is the national seal of the previous week, and the words engraved on it are the prosperity of the country."

Zhou Lingshu stood up, patted the dust on his knees, and held up the imperial seal with both hands, his face full of reverence.His calm eyes finally became a little more moved, like a lake blown by the wind, showing a little sparkle, he said: "I really didn't expect that King Mu would be so bold as to hide the imperial seal in the Here. Back then when the imperial seal was lost, I ordered people to search the entire palace and harem but failed, thinking it was the late emperor who brought it into the imperial mausoleum."

"This Guoxi seal is very dark, and it is already extraordinary." Yao Peizhou stretched out his hand to him, motioning him to bring the things over.

Zhou Lingshu handed over the imperial seal, and the emerald green imperial seal suddenly glowed red, and the dragon eye beads on the jade were blood red, and then everyone heard a scream coming from the jade.

The man in a dark blue official uniform showed his appearance in front of everyone, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a heroic appearance, but there was an indescribable blood and cruelty in his expression.He quietly watched Zhou Lingshu standing in front of him. The world had changed and time had changed. Although his clothes had changed drastically, he would never forget this face no matter what.

"Zhou Linghui, you're still alive." Zhou Lingshu's voice was cold, and his eyes were sharper than usual.

The man sneered, looked down at his illusory body, his eyes were full of sarcasm: "You call this alive?"

"Otherwise? Are you saying that your ghost is still there?" Zhou Lingshu frowned, and the innate coolness instantly exuded.After all, he has been the emperor for 30 years, and with the blessing of the sun candle, Zhou Lingshu's aura is still different from that of ordinary humans.

Zhou Linghui's soul was locked in the imperial seal for a long time and hadn't been seen for a long time. Now it was illuminated by the sun, and it looked a little weak and pale.In addition, Yao Peizhou, an ancient holy beast, was sitting on the side, so he couldn't move at all.

"Your Highness King Mu, how did you forge the Taiyin Youying Sword back then?" Shi Xuan asked bluntly.

Zhou Linghui looked back at him, his expression suddenly became a little loose, his eyes were originally a pool of stagnant water, but at this moment there was a burst of ripples.He opened his mouth and made a short syllable tremblingly: "You..."

"Me?" Shi Xuan pointed to himself with a puzzled face.

Zhou Linghui just looked at him quietly, his eyes seemed to see another person through him.It was clearly a completely different appearance, completely lacking the dignity and self-restraint of that person in his memory, but it just reminded him of that dusty past.

"It's nothing, I was dazzled." After a while, Zhou Linghui looked away, his expression returned to the indifference just now, and his tone was full of sarcasm: "Taiyin Youying? How can I have such a skill, someone presented it to me, I directly Just use it."

"Really?" Shi Xuan chuckled, and said, "It seems that Your Highness doesn't know that the sword was already dead, but someone with a heart awakened it with flesh and blood, and voluntarily became a sword." Spirit, for Your Highness to drive."

Hearing this, Zhou Linghui finally realized what was wrong, his face became very serious, his eyes fixed on Shi Xuan, and he squeezed out a sentence from his teeth: "What do you mean?!"

"Your Highness, didn't you know?" Shi Xuan's expression became a bit intriguing. He fixed his eyes on Zhou Linghui, and felt that the latter's attitude was not acting like a play. He continued: "The soul bound in that sword belongs to the former Jing'an Hou Jiang heard that His Highness has a very close relationship with him, and he didn't know it at all?"

Zhou Linghui's pupils shrank, and his face was paler than when he first appeared.It took less than 5 minutes for his expression to change from surprise to anger to distress. No one knew that in just 5 minutes, countless pictures flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, and finally it was fixed on Jiang Wenyi. That sad and joyless, alienated and indifferent face.

The last time I saw Jiang Wenyi was at the gate of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion. Jiang Wenyi was dressed in white. He was wearing a winter cloak even though it was Mengchun, and he looked thin and weak.But still maintaining that cold and decisive attitude, he said to him: "Your Highness, from now on, the door of the Jing'an Hou Mansion will not be opened for you. If you force your way in, you will only see my blood spattered on the corridor eaves." , decapitated in a different place."

Indifferent and ruthless, he refuses to admit it when he puts on his clothes.

That was the time when he and Zhou Lingshu fought the most fiercely. The big battle was imminent. He thought that Jiang Wenyi thought that he could not help him up the wall and could not avenge himself, so he parted ways with him. It turned out that the Taiyin Youying sword was reawakened by the opponent with flesh and blood.

Flesh and blood were burned to the ground in the raging fire. This kind of pain is definitely unbearable for ordinary people, let alone such a delicate and expensive body that has been held in the palm of everyone's hands since childhood. There are few opportunities.

After a long time, he took a deep breath, and then said: "This thing whose conscience was eaten by dogs, how many things are still hidden from me."
