the only savior

Chapter 806 The True Identity of Shangguan Jingling

City Lord's Mansion, inside an elegant house.

Bai Yue was standing silently in front of his bed, in his hand was a piece of paper with beautiful small characters written on it.

Just now after he escaped from the monster, he came here immediately, because of the secret that his wife had hidden under the bed.

The note was not big, but the content recorded in it was very rich, and the city lord, known for his iron blood, fell into a long silence.

He didn't expect that the truth of the matter would be like this, and it turned out that his wife had such an unknown side.

Most of the content on the note is written in a stylistic format.

Although the number of words does not seem to be many, the content is actually very rich, and the general meaning is the origin of Shangguan Jingling.

It turned out that Shangguan Jingling was not born in this way, but was called "Jiang Ling". The reason why she chose this name was because she needed to survive.

"Jiang Ling..."

With loose hair, Bai Yue muttered the name, his eyes full of reluctance.

He is very clear about the surname Jiang, even in the entire Dafu Dynasty, few people don't know it.

And it's all because of a big case that happened a few years ago.

It is said that after Emperor Xuanyang succeeded to the throne, he searched for traces of immortals, and spent a lot of national power for this.

This matter was opposed by most people, because no one believed that the so-called fairy tales were true.

No one knows how many emperors in ancient times were ultimately destroyed by this search for immortals and Taoism.

In order to seek illusory longevity, he devotes himself to asking questions all day long, wastes extravagance, shakes the foundation of the country, and is ridiculed by later generations.

Therefore, this matter was opposed by almost all ministers at the time.

But there is only one exception, and that is the former national teacher-Jiang Wen'an.

As the national teacher, Jiang Wen'an has a very high status in the court.

It was also because of his support that Emperor Xuanyang was able to continue this kind of all-powerful search for immortals for a year.

But at the same time, such a situation also made Jiang Wen'an, a well-known writer and master of the state, lose the title of a courtier.

In the Dafu Dynasty, the surname Jiang was very rare, so when it was mentioned, people in the world would immediately think of the national teacher.

However, the originally well-respected master of the state teacher actually did such absurd things, which made the common people and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty hate him to the bone.

This is also impossible.

After all, the other person who did this was His Majesty the Emperor. When people had a choice, they still subconsciously dumped the blame on this minister who supported him.

He thought that His Majesty was deceived into doing these absurd things because he believed his flattery.

However, just one year after the emperor's journey of seeking immortality, a news came suddenly.

That is, he gave up this plan, and ordered to kill all monks, burn all books related to Taoism, and even uttered the saying that there is no way in the world.

No one knew why Emperor Xuanyang suddenly changed his mind, and even went so far as to do it directly.

But as the saying goes, it has nothing to do with you.

Those monks killed by His Majesty the Emperor have nothing to do with other people, so not many people are willing to stand up and speak for them.

Of course, the main reason for this is that His Majesty was able to rein in the precipice and stop this kind of destabilizing behavior in time.

This has already made everyone wish for it, so naturally they will not speak out to stop him from severing the orthodoxy.

In this way, all the monks in the world were wiped out, and the rest changed their schools one after another, and no one dared to call themselves a monk.

Of course, the cultivator here does not refer to the immortal cultivator with real magic power as in the myths and legends.

It's a group similar to fortune tellers and alchemists, just like Pei Laoliu before.

Unfortunately, Jiang Wen'an, as the current national teacher, has another well-known identity.

That is the master of the Qingxiu Temple, that is, the biggest Taoist leader in the dynasty.

Although he had already resigned from office, Jiang Wen'an naturally couldn't run away if His Majesty wanted to settle the matter.

Therefore, at that time, something well-known throughout the country happened.

Emperor Xuanyang finally discovered the true face of the National Teacher after searching for immortals to no avail. In a fit of anger, he ordered the execution of the entire National Teacher's Mansion, leaving no bones or dogs behind.

And Jiang Ling, that is, Bai Yue's wife, Shangguan Jingling, is the youngest daughter of the national teacher Jiang Wen'an.

Fortunately, his favorite daughter had already been adopted into a rich family when she was young, and her surname was changed to Shangguan and Jingling.

At that time, Jiang Wen'an was just a poor scholar, his family was poor, and he couldn't even afford food, so he adopted his daughter.

As Shangguan Jingling's husband, Bai Yue didn't know these things at all.

It's no wonder, after all, she has a lot of involvement behind her back, so she never told her about it.

Now, after reading the note, Bai Yue finally understood his wife's true life experience, and it turned out that she was the daughter of the former national teacher.

Of course, the contents of the note are not limited to these.

What shocked Bai Yue the most was that besides being Jiang Wen'an's daughter, his wife was also a monk who had researched the cultivation of immortals.

According to Shangguan Jingling's description, although she has never learned this whole method, her biological father, as the owner of the Qingxiu Temple, naturally left many precious classics.

It's just that those classics seem to have this problem, and they can't practice.

But the fact that the Jiang family was exterminated has always been a thorn in her heart.

So she was thinking about those books all the time, hoping to find a real way to cultivate immortality and avenge her family.

But it's a pity that no matter how hard she has cultivated these years, she has never found the correct way to cultivate immortality from those ancient books.

But just half a year ago, Shangguan Jingling, who had been fruitless in her practice, suddenly discovered that she had really cultivated her true energy.

She hid this very well, and she didn't even tell her husband who had been with her day and night.

In this way, with anticipation, Shangguan Jingling has been quietly practicing those ancient books.

She planned to wait for herself to figure out the way, wait until she avenged her family, and then tell all this frankly.

But helplessly, although she could develop spiritual power and essence, the progress was extremely slow.

Until now, it was only at the entry level.

The big formation in the backyard was not actually arranged by the monster, but by Shangguan Jingling, a half-baked monk who had just started, based on the books at home.

The function of this large formation is to improve her cultivation.

It's just that after the monster took possession of her body, it used it to absorb human essence and blood to help her transform into a catastrophe.

As for the origin of this monster, it has something to do with Shangguan Jingling.

According to her records, she thought she was eager for revenge, so she practiced all the ancient books she owned in one go.

That's exactly what she thought, and she didn't know anything about cultivating immortals. There was a book in it that was a vicious sorcery called "Heavenly Blood Silkworm".

To put it bluntly, this day's blood silkworm is a way to raise Gu.

Practitioners use themselves as a medium to sacrifice a blood silkworm to suck the blood essence of living creatures, thereby promoting the growth of the blood silkworm, and finally feeding back to themselves and improving their cultivation.

Originally, although Shangguan Jingling was eager for revenge, she was kind-hearted, and most of them secretly used the blood of some meat animals for sacrifices, and the frequency was not high.

But it was also because of this that the blood silkworms did not get enough nutrients, and in the end they turned their backs and devoured the mother's body, completely occupying her body. This was the scene that Bai Yue saw later.

And this note was written by Shangguan Jingling after she realized something was wrong, but not long after she wrote it, her body was taken away by blood silkworms, and it ended up being a catastrophe.

After watching all this, Bai Yue was silent for a long time, just standing by the bed without saying a word.

He really didn't expect that his wife was actually a monk, and because of a momentary carelessness, the current situation was caused.

But Bai Yue didn't mean to blame the other party.

Although his wife did make a mistake in this matter, after all, she is his wife who has been with him for more than 20 years. With his character, he will naturally not feel resentful about it.

It's just that no matter what he thinks about it, since the matter has reached this point, he must find a way to solve it.

Otherwise, the millions of people in the city of Hanyue might suffer catastrophe.

While he was concentrating on thinking, he suddenly heard the sound of thunder rolling in the sky, Bai Yue woke up from the state of trance, and hurriedly ran outside to check the situation.

The sky was already covered with dark clouds.

Countless thunder and lightning rolled in it, flickering on and off, as if covering the whole world in it.

Bai Yue was shocked when he saw this.

When he escaped from the monster just now, although the sky had already begun to gather dark clouds, it was definitely not as terrifying as before.

In his view, such scenes are like the end of the world.

Even if the might of the vast thunder has not exploded, it can already make people terrified.

He carefully recalled the content left by his wife, but it did not describe what was going on in the battle, which also made him feel a little at a loss for a while.

But after all, Bai Yue, as the lord of the city, reacted immediately after being absent-minded for a short time, even pushed open the door and ran out.

He needs to have a round with the city guard first, and urgently discuss the plan for these incidents.

……

On the other side, after placing Yan Jiantong and the others in place, Pei Laoliu immediately drove the flying sword to Hanyue City non-stop.

It takes a lot of spiritual power to go back and forth.

If Liu Ye hadn't had the spirit stone to help him recover, let alone stop the monster, he might have used up his little spiritual power just halfway there.

It's just that using spirit stones to replenish energy is indeed effective, but it cannot be used endlessly.

Spiritual stones are not pure spiritual power after all, and there are more or less impurities in them. The lower the quality of spiritual stones, the more impurities they contain.

After absorbing the spiritual power of the spirit stone, impurities will also be sucked into the meridians, causing blockage of the meridians.

It is necessary to find a secluded place and spend some time in meditation in order to discharge the impurities again.

It is precisely because of this that the method of using spirit stones as battle recovery is restricted and cannot be absorbed without limit.

"It seems that I should be able to absorb the last piece..."

Liu Ye felt the impurities in his body, and knew that he would use this method for the last time to replenish his spiritual power at most today, so he was a little disappointed.

It is not impossible to forcibly absorb it.

But doing so is not only less efficient, but too many impurities will also cause damage to one's cultivation, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Simply, now he has also returned to Hanyue City, headed straight to the Heavenly Tribulation area, looking for an opportunity to sneak attack, and killed the monster in one fell swoop.

After going back and forth like this, even though Pei Laoliu broke out at the fastest speed, about twenty minutes had passed. At this moment, the thundercloud in the sky finally finished brewing and launched an attack.

"boom!!"

There was a deafening explosion, and the thick lightning struck the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion as if piercing through the sky and the earth.

For a moment, the whole world seemed to have fallen into dead silence.

Especially the people who are in it feel that their ears are going to be deafened, their brains are groggy, and some old and weak people are really fainted directly.

However, when this thunder was about to reach the ground, it was blocked by a translucent barrier, and it never really fell.

In the city lord's mansion, Bai Yue had already joined a group of guards at this time, and before they could talk to each other, the thunder had already fallen over there.

"It's that formation!"

Seeing the barrier in the direction of the backyard, he immediately understood what was going on, it was clearly the formation that blocked his escape just now.

"My lord, what happened just now? What happened to those thunder clouds? Where's Madam?"

Ye Lin quickly expressed the question in his heart.

Bai Yue quickly explained the situation inside, and now he needs to gather people to rush back.

Even if it was being bombarded by sky thunder inside, he had to go back to confirm his wife's condition.

For people in this world, entertainment items are scarce.

Coupled with Emperor Xuanyang's Dao extermination action, they have no impression of the catastrophe at all, and there is no such thing as crossing the catastrophe.

Therefore, now Bai Yue's first reaction after seeing those thunders was that the monster did a lot of evil and attracted the thunder punishment from the sky.

Under other circumstances, he would definitely be happy to see this scene.

But now that it was his wife's body that was split inside, Bai Yue immediately felt anxious.

But what this group of people didn't know was that when they were busy preparing to enter the City Lord's Mansion to kill monsters.

Dozens of pairs of eyes full of murderous intent were already watching them in places that they couldn't see around them.
