After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 393 Coexistence

Chapter 393 Coexistence

Liu Bingzhou was full of worries, so he went to Yao's house.

Chen Taiwei's words before he left put him under great pressure. Although Emperor Shenqi was saved, just like what Chen Taiwei said, this person is heartless and trustless, and has no benevolence and righteousness.

It's a pity that the eldest princess and Gu Huanzhi are not in Shendu at this time, unable to preside over the overall situation. Those who stay behind in Shendu are the Zhenmagic Division and the Prison Division.

"Alas—" he sighed, and took a step forward, and he had already walked a distance of ten feet.

The pedestrians beside him seemed unaware that someone was approaching, and when they realized that there was someone beside them, when they turned their heads to look, they couldn't even see the afterimage of Liu Bingzhou clearly.

Thanks to the blessing of Huangliang Yimeng given by Chen Taiwei, Liu Bingzhou's practice broke through the original constraints and entered a new realm.

It should have been a happy event to be able to break through before the arrival of the 'River God', but the future was unknown, and he was still preoccupied and did not dare to relax his vigilance completely.

From the inner city of the imperial palace to Yao's house, even taking a carriage would take some time, but Liu Bingzhou only took a few breaths of effort before returning to Yao's house.

At this time, the sky was dark, the door was half-opened, and inside the door, a young girl was sitting on a low stool, with her hands resting on her cheeks, with a sad look on her face.

"Shouning?"

When Liu Bingzhou saw Yao Shouning, he first breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered what Chen Taiwei said when he left, and mentioned it again.

But he didn't show the worry in his heart, but asked gently:

"Why are you sitting here?" After asking, he said nervously:

"Did something happen?"

Before I left, I had discussed with her, the grandfather and grandson acted separately, she went to persuade Yao Wanning and others to leave Shendu temporarily, while Liu Bingzhou went to the palace to meet the emperor.

At this time, she was sitting at the door, obviously waiting for someone. Could it be that something serious happened at home?
"Is your sister's stomach attacking? Or something happened to your mother?"

"Neither." Yao Shouning's eyes lit up when he heard Liu Bingzhou's voice, and he got up quickly.

Immediately seeing the anxious look on his grandfather's face, he knew that he had misunderstood, and kept shaking his head:

"The family is safe and sound. After discussing with my brother in the afternoon, I decided that he will take his family to Qingyun Temple temporarily tomorrow—" She hesitated for a moment, and did not say anything about Yao Ruoyun's desire to stay and advance with her family.

Although Liu Bingzhou's expression was calm, anxiety was hidden under his calm surface.

'River God' will worry a lot about her grandfather in the future, and she can discuss Yao Ruoyun's matter with her brother later so as not to cause her grandfather a headache.

"I'm just worried about you. I always feel that something big will happen if you enter the palace today." She was restless all afternoon, worried about Liu Bingzhou's safety, and wished she could enter the palace to look for him.

Now seeing Liu Bingzhou returned safely, her raised heart fell back to the original place, and when she looked at Liu Bingzhou again, she realized that something was wrong.

"Grandfather, it seems to me that you... seem to have changed..."

She has studied with Mr. Kong Shan for a period of time, and her eyesight has improved a lot. The 'qi' exuding from Liu Bingzhou's body and the shadow under his feet all revealed one thing——

"Your strength seems to be stronger than before."

Thinking about it carefully, she moved a stool and sat here waiting for Liu Bingzhou. With her current eyesight, it is absolutely impossible to ignore Liu Bingzhou's return breath.

But when he came back, there was no sign, and it was quite similar to the Taoist method of "shrinking the ground into an inch", and he appeared in front of her all at once, obviously something happened to Liu Bingzhou on the way to enter the palace, which greatly improved his strength .

Liu Bingzhou's heart moved, and he asked:

"Do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?"

Yao Shouning said without hesitation:
"Of course it's a good thing."

Her words made Liu Bingzhou's frowning brows relax, the anxiety in his heart eased, and he nodded:

"Good things are good, good things are good."

The people of the Bianji family 'do what they say', and Yao Shouning said it was a good thing, so it must be a good thing.

"Some things did happen during my trip to the palace." He suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and greeted his granddaughter:
"We're talking as we walk."

Yao Shouning was also very curious. Hearing this, he nodded and followed his grandfather.

"As you said, it was indeed dangerous for me to enter the palace today, but in the end I turned the corner and got some benefits."

After finishing speaking, he briefly talked about the fact that he entered the palace today to ask to see Emperor Shenqi, but was rejected by Emperor Shenqi.

Emperor Shen Qi was suspicious by nature, and Liu Bingzhou's actions at that time touched his scales, so he summoned Chen Taiwei, the 'big killer'.

Unexpectedly, the national teacher who he thought was supposed to protect his life went mad in the end, not only failed to protect him, but almost killed him.

On the contrary, Liu Bingzhou, who was considered a dangerous person by Emperor Shenqi, finally stopped Chen Taiwei and saved his life.

Liu Bingzhou went out for only one or two hours, and such a big event happened in the middle.

The grandfather and grandson chatted while walking, and when they entered the house, Liu Bingzhou had already talked about Chen Taiwei's origin.

At that time, he used paper cranes to entrust his wisps of consciousness, and witnessed the scene of Chen Taiwei going crazy.

"I saw his origin." Liu Bingzhou sighed:

"700 years ago, the leader of the Taoist sect who became sworn brothers with the Taizu was rumored to have gone mad overnight and slaughtered the whole Qingyun Temple. The leader of the Taoist sect who was finally expelled from Taoism, Meng Songyun."

As for Chen Taiwei's identity, he, the eldest princess and others had speculated a lot earlier, but they didn't dare to confirm it until today.

"An ancestor who'lived' for 700 years—" When he said "live", the brows trembled, showing a bit of confusion.

Chen Taiwei's state obviously cannot be called 'alive', but he is indeed different from ordinary ghosts.

'He' has memory and rationality. Although he acted crazy, there was a strange kind of... Liu Bingzhou thought for a while, and finally struggled and said:
"...with the calmness of 'his' own logic."

He spoke for a while, but got no response.

Turning around to look, Yao Shouning did not sit down after following him into the room, but lowered his head.

It was darker today than last night, and oil lamps were lit in the house, but the lights were dim.

She stood not far from the gate, her tall and slender figure was elongated by the light, and reflected in the yard far away.

Behind her are the blue-black courtyard walls and the shadows of the treetops in the darkness.

Since Liu's injury, it has been half a year since he woke up. The servants of the Yao family felt uneasy. Although Liu Bingzhou was in charge, the shadow in everyone's hearts could not be eliminated.

Everyone frowned, entering and exiting very carefully, not daring to make any big noises during their actions.

At nightfall, there was smoke rising from the kitchen, accompanied by the aroma of the food, but the whole courtyard was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

The girl clasped her hands in front of her abdomen and lowered her head.

Her bun was just rolled up, and the thin bangs on her forehead and on both sides of her cheeks hung down on both sides of her small face.

Liu Bingzhou suddenly noticed that this granddaughter, who was about to turn sixteen, seemed to have lost a lot of weight. When he came last year, her cheeks were plump, her chin had some baby fat, and her face was oval-shaped. When she spoke, her eyes shone brightly, full of vitality. .

But in just half a year, she lost a lot of weight, and her jaw quickly lost weight, making her look much thinner.

The innocence and greenness of the girl faded away from the eyes, replaced by calmness and calmness gradually.

The family changes, so the children also learn to be the director of the family.

Thinking of this, Liu Bingzhou's heart softened.

He realized that Yao Shouning was only 16 years old, still a child.

When he was sixteen, he might not be as sensible as her.

"Shou Ning—" Liu Bingzhou called out warmly.

Then he heard soft sobbing.

"Shouning'er..." Liu Bingzhou became a little anxious, got up and walked quickly towards Yao Shouning:
"Good boy, why are you crying so well?"

Yao Shouning didn't speak, but silently wiped his eyes with his hand.

"Who made you cry? Is it because you are worried about your mother? Or is Wanning unwilling to leave the city? Or—"

It was fine if he didn't ask this question. After asking several sentences in a row, Yao Shouning had suppressed his sobs earlier, and then the tears kept flowing:

"It's you! It's my grandfather who is bad."

"It's me?" Liu Bingzhou was taken aback for a moment, then continued:
"But I..." Before he finished speaking, he saw Yao Shouning's eyes were red, and immediately swallowed the rest of the words:

"Grandfather is wrong, grandfather is wrong, and made the child cry." He patted Yao Shouning's head, coaxing her softly:
"Grandfather is dull, but he doesn't know what's wrong. It made Ning'er, the guardian of our family, cry. You have to remind grandfather that I don't make the same mistake next time."

"You know that the national teacher is dangerous, why do you fight with him? What does the emperor's life and death have to do with you, why is it worth your risk to save him?"

With tears in her eyes, she was very unhappy:
"Our mother was injured and didn't wake up, and my sister is about to give birth. You know that the 'River God' is coming soon. If something happens to you, what will our family do?"

Liu Bingzhou showed guilt on his face and dared not speak out.

"The Supreme Emperor is stupid and ruthless. Even if something happened to him, there is still the Young Emperor. Why did you—" Hearing Liu Bingzhou's story about the past, Yao Shouning felt angry and impatient, lost control for a while, and couldn't help but say a few words.

But seeing Liu Bingzhou looking at her with shame on his face, he couldn't bear to continue talking.

She is soft-hearted and kind, the most generous and caring.

Sensing the guilt of her grandfather, she vented her anger. She thought of the scene of Liu Bingzhou being seriously injured and dying in the future "fantasy", and couldn't bear to be angry with her grandfather anymore.

"It's my grandfather's fault." Seeing that she had stopped talking, Liu Bingzhou spoke softly.

The girl lowered her head, pouted her lips, and turned her cheeks slightly to one side, just not looking at him.

"But at this time, the country cannot be without a master." He sighed:
"Shenducheng shouldn't be messed up right now. After the evil spirits appear in the world, someone has to take charge of the overall situation."

As long as one of the eldest princess and Gu Huanzhi sits in Shendu City, Liu Bingzhou will never intervene in what happened today, and will even sit and watch the end of Shen Qidi.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in everything.

If Emperor Shen Qi dies at this time, there will be turmoil in the capital city of God, and the people will be panicked. The Chu family who controlled the young emperor might take the opportunity to make trouble.

The change of power is mixed with blood, and it is the common people who know nothing about it.

"When the gate of the border appeared in the city of Sun God, there was turmoil in the city. According to your father later, at least 2 people died." He said this with a look of indignation.

Some things were too magical, and he always felt that telling his little granddaughter seemed to pollute her pure heart.

But she has grown up, and is even learning to protect her family, just like a young eagle that has just grown up, trying to break free from the protection of her elders and hobble forward.

When he spoke, although she was still angry, she still listened to him seriously and did not make her petty.

Liu Bingzhou said:
"Among the 2 people, at most one or two thousand died at the hands of the evil spirits." The evil spirits were restrained by the boundary gate at that time, and before they could do evil in the future, Gu Jing's soul appeared and turned into a god- Buddha King Kong, The border gate was suppressed again.

"The rest of the people died of man-made disasters."

This is the fundamental reason why Liu Bingzhou was worried that the death of Emperor Shenqi would cause chaos in the city of God.

A country without a master is prone to chaos. In a troubled world, human life is worthless. I am afraid that there is no need to wait for the arrival of the "river god". In a few days, the city of gods will turn into a hell on earth.

"So Zhu Dingchen's life is very important at this time." He explained to his granddaughter in a gentle voice, wanting to get the child's understanding, he couldn't bear to break her heart.

Yao Shouning also understood that Liu Bingzhou was in a dilemma, and after hearing him explain so much, the unhappiness in his heart gradually dissipated.

It's just that she still has lingering fears when she thinks of what Liu Bingzhou said.

Chen Taiwei was the fierce god 700 years ago, he slaughtered Qingyun Guanmanmen, many of them were his brothers and sisters who had been with him for many years.

For such a vicious person, Liu Bingzhou almost fought him desperately...

She pursed her lips:

"But, in my heart, my grandfather is the most important thing." She complained softly, and said seriously:

"I don't think anyone is as important as the relatives at home." After finishing speaking, he added in a low voice:
"Including the old emperor."

"It's my fault, I didn't consider Shou Ning's mood." Liu Bingzhou comforted the child, and his frowning brows loosened.

The grandfather and grandson sat down separately, Yao Shouning's temper came and went quickly, she turned around and poured a cup of herbal tea for her grandfather, and handed it to him, Liu Bingzhou took the tea and winked at her:
"However, what I said at the time was not completely unsure."

Yao Shouning was a little surprised when he heard this:

"Can you beat the national teacher?"

"That can't be."

Liu Bingzhou shook his head hastily.

"I'm not his opponent." He had self-knowledge and said:
"This person's cultivation level has reached heaven and earth. It is said that his blood relatives died young, and he killed those close to him to practice the ruthless way." In his opinion, Chen Taiwei's behavior in the end, cutting out his heart and paying homage to his master, is also in line with Taoism. The conjecture that the flesh is sanctified by the soul.

"In 700 years, I think his strength is unfathomable. The demon king of the Sky Demon Fox Clan is restrained by him, and it is difficult to escape. I am not his opponent. I can't win, I can't win."

He shook his head frequently:
"What's more, I used his Huang Liang's dream to make a breakthrough. Before I broke through, if I really fought with him, it might end up being restrained by a talisman."

"..."

Seeing him shaking his head and sighing, Yao Shouning was almost amused by his grandfather.

She tried her best to hold back her smile, deliberately put on a straight face, and asked:

"Since you say you can't beat it, where do you get the confidence?"

"It's you."

Liu Bingzhou held a teacup and looked at his granddaughter with a smile:

"You gave me confidence."

"It's me?" Yao Shouning was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Liu Bingzhou to say such a thing, but she was smart after all, when she thought about it, she vaguely guessed the reason why Liu Bingzhou said that.

"Not bad." Liu Bingzhou took a sip of tea lightly and said:

"You said that when the 'River God' invaded the capital of God on July [-]th, I defended the city with my body against the 'River God'."

When he said this, Yao Shouning had already fully understood the meaning of his grandfather's words.

"That is to say, before that, you will not have any accidents, at least your life will be safe."

"Yes." Liu Bingzhou smiled with a 'hehe':
"According to your prophecy, I will never die before July [-]th. That's why I had the courage to confront Chen Taiwei head-on." He said in a humorous tone:

"The predictions of the Bianji clan can't make mistakes. Since I won't die, who am I afraid of? Even the fierce god 700 years ago, I dare to fight him."

When he said this, he peeked at Yao Shouning out of the corner of his eye, and sure enough, he saw the little girl who was crying before being amused by him at this moment, so he deliberately said:
"If it weren't for your words as a backing, how could my grandfather dare to bite the bullet and charge forward? If that senior really came to kill him, I might not have dared to rush forward. You will hate me for not being good at learning and not being able to specialize in escaping, is Shou Ning'er right?"

'Pfft. '

Although Yao Shouning tried his best to endure it, he was still amused by Liu Bingzhou in the end.

She naturally understood that Liu Bingzhou said these words to comfort herself and make her happy.

Although the Bianji family has the ability to predict, but the future has not yet happened, and nothing has been concluded.

According to Mr. Kong Shan's teaching, after she completes her studies in the future, she will have her own "anchor point", and she also needs to find the next successor, and when "him/her" connects with her, history will truly be settled , otherwise everything has variables and everything is possible.

But the two grandparents didn't say anything bad, Liu Bingzhou smiled and said:
"Look, in the end 'he' really left, the old emperor survived, and his grandfather was safe and sound. Everyone is happy. Doesn't it correspond to your prediction?"

"The Bianji clan is really powerful, and the prophecy is true. Shou Ning'er learned from Mr. Kongshan really well. Grandfather is really happy for you."

Yao Shouning was a little happy to be praised, and the affirmation of the elders in her family made her more motivated to study in the future.

She pursed her lips, and suddenly remembered something:

"By the way, grandfather, you said that the national teacher gave you a dream of Huangliang, how did you wake up in the end?"

When Liu Bingzhou mentioned the scene at that time, he also had lingering fears, and said:

"I was..."

The grandparents and grandchildren were talking, and the time passed unknowingly.

In the palace at this time, it was extremely quiet.

The palace was shrouded in a bloody smell, Feng Zhen, the leader of Zhenmagic Division, had a gloomy expression, and confessed to Cheng Fuyun:
"Your Majesty is in a bad mood. Throw all the survivors who are on duty today into the Town Magic Division, and don't let them appear in the palace again."

Today is the first time that Emperor Shen Qi really faced death.

As a bloodline of the Tian family, he has been well-clothed and well-fed all his life, and has never suffered.

After the late emperor passed away, it was already very aggrieved for Emperor Shenqi to leave the eldest princess to check and balance him.

After that, the eldest princess beat him several times, which made him lose face, but the fear brought by Zhu Hengrui was far less than that of Chen Taiwei.

Today's Chen Taiwei really wanted to kill him, Emperor Shen Qi felt the shadow of death several times.

He was so frightened that he didn't dare to go back to his usual palace, and the alchemy room where he usually stayed the most was also sealed off, fearing that Chen Taiwei would leave and come back.

The old emperor found another palace to hide, and ordered his personal servants to guard him.

Feng Zhen took some free time to tell his deputy leader some things.

Cheng Fuyun frowned when he heard this.

"Mr. Feng, today's people will all be sent to Zhenmagic Division?"

He is usually the most knowledgeable, but today he would ask questions.

Feng Zhen's eyes flashed, and he narrowed his eyes to look at him.

The deputy commander of the Zhenmagic Division stood in the shadows, his expression was covered by intertwined shadows of treetops, and Feng Zhen could only see his painted lips.

"It's really bad."

He thought with disgust in his heart: This old thing looks really disgusting because it is painted all day long.

"Is there something wrong?" He suppressed his disgust and asked back.

While speaking, his fingers rubbed the saber at his waist, murderous intent was already brewing in his eyes.

Cheng Fuyun has worked with him for many years and knows his temperament very well.

The servant who won the trust of Emperor Shenqi has an unpredictable temper, and acts cruelly. He is extremely difficult to tolerate. The most important thing is that he is extremely loyal to the emperor.

One of his unintentional words touched his back, and I'm afraid it has already made him unhappy. If he didn't answer well, he might raise a knife and slash someone.

Cheng Fuyun rolled his eyes and said in a low voice:
"Mr. Feng, there are quite a few people on duty today. After the last change in the palace, a batch has been cleaned up. The remaining people are obedient and docile." He lowered his posture and took out his sleeve Handkerchief to wipe sweat:

"In peacetime, you can recruit palace servants and servants into the palace."

But this year was really not a good year. First came the floods, then the blood mosquito Gu, and then the boundary gate. Things happened one after another, and there was no time to recruit people.

"I was thinking that if we kill another batch, I'm afraid the emperor will not have enough manpower." Cheng Fuyun accompanied him with a smiling face:

"The most important thing is that there are still a large number of people imprisoned in the Magic Division, and there is no spare cell at all."

He explained clearly, Feng Zhen held up the knife hand:
"No way." He shook his head:

"The emperor is very unhappy. These dogs are not good for protecting the master. They almost caused an accident to the emperor. Damn it." Thinking of Cheng Fuyun's words, he frowned:

"As for the shortage of manpower, we will find a way to recruit a group of people into the palace later."

There are not many near the city of God, but there are a lot of people.

While he was speaking, Cheng Fuyun seemed to have seen something terrible, and raised his head with a look of horror on his face.

Seeing his strange expression, Feng Zhen also turned his head to look, and saw a shadow on the corridor of the main hall behind him, as if it had come to life, flowing along the corridor like flowing water.

"what--"

Seeing the strangeness, the soldiers on duty cried out in fright.

The next moment, the black shadow overwhelmed him, and the terrible black slime like asphalt penetrated his seven orifices, his voice disappeared, and his body turned into a strange black stone sculpture.

There was only a moment left, and as the shadow slowly drifted away, there was only a mummy left where the soldier was standing.

As soon as the wind blew, the corpse turned into dust and flew around in a 'flutter, swish, swish'.

A strong man who was alive before disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Cheng Fuyun was in the Zhenmagic Division, and he was not a kind person, but when he saw this scene, he was still terrified.

This weird scene not only frightened Cheng Fuyun, but the other soldiers, palace servants, and servants on duty all screamed loudly when they saw this scene.

"what!"

"Ghost!"

"monster!"

A series of screams came and went, breaking the peace in the palace.

Even though Emperor Shenqi had a violent temper, was emotionally unstable recently, and murdered everyone in the palace with fear, but witnessing monsters killing people in strange and extraordinary ways still frightened the palace people and guards to flee desperately.

But as soon as they took a step, the shadow paused first, and then turned into several extremely large thick and long tentacles with a 'whoosh' sound, and flung them out in different directions.

These shadows are extremely fast, and they 'hold' everyone in their hands in the blink of an eye.

"Mr. Feng—"

Cheng Fuyun was also well-informed. At this time, his scalp was numb, his throat was dry, his legs were trembling, and he subconsciously touched his waist.

There is a big knife hanging around his waist, which is a special grace bestowed by Emperor Shenqi to Zhenmensi, especially after the eldest princess entered the palace and turned against him last time, he even asked his personal guards to wear a knife to protect himself.

The guard on duty in the distance heard the shout, and someone asked vigilantly from a distance:

"What happened?"

"It's okay." Feng Zhen replied with a frown.

At this moment, all the people on duty on the corridor in the palace were swept up in black air, and they were lifted up high, making it difficult to make a sound.

The black air expands rapidly, as if it is getting sufficient nourishment as it inhales the human essence and soul.

On the contrary, the people who were engulfed by the black air turned into dead corpses in an instant, and finally fell to the ground with a 'bang' sound like burnt brittle coals.

'Hey Hey--'

Satisfied with the black air, he let out a wild laugh.

Cheng Fuyun was terrified, and pulled out most of the long knife with a 'clang'.

"What are you doing?!" Feng Zhen yelled sharply, pressed his palm, and pushed back the big knife he drew out forcefully.

The fallen corpses shattered, turned into dust and dispersed, and the wind blew around them, making a strange 'woo-woo' sound, which blocked the lanterns hanging in the palace, making the fire much darker.

"Feng Gong..." Cheng Fuyun couldn't believe Feng Zhen's actions, and shouted in a panic.

"This is the emperor's new guest." Feng Zhen rolled his eyes strangely and said with a sneer:
"It's also Concubine Tu's 'relative', and will protect the emperor for a while. Don't act rashly and ruin the emperor's important affairs."

Concubine Tu's 'relative'?
Concubine Tu has shown her true form today, isn't Concubine Tu a demon?
Cheng Fuyun's reaction was half a beat slow, and he realized that Emperor Shenqi might have cooperated with the evil spirits.

The hairs on his body suddenly rose, and a chill came from the soles of his feet.

Since the founding of the Daqing Dynasty 700 years ago, this divine capital city should be the safest place in the world.

Here is the great achievement of the country's destiny, with the emperor who is protected by the dragon sitting in the town, and the magician who restrains the evil spirits. It should be a "Holy Land" that evil spirits dare not set foot on.

But now that the 'Holy Land' has been polluted, the emperor took the initiative to lure evil spirits into the city, and the monsters killed people in public.

A sense of absurdity arose in Cheng Fuyun's heart. He gritted his teeth and realized that Feng Zhen's probing eyes had fallen on himself.

The old eunuch who was loyal to the emperor had already developed a sense of defense against himself at this time. If he didn't react correctly, he might have to shoot himself.

"So that's how it is." Cold sweat broke out through his body and wet his clothes, but he forced himself to be calm and showed a sad look:
"But Mr. Feng, these, will these guests treat us—"

"Don't worry." Feng Zhen smiled slightly:
"These 'guests' are in the same camp as ours. As long as you are loyal to the emperor, how can 'they' hurt your own people?"

He wrote lightly:

"However, they are not my species after all, and they enjoy food in a special way. Don't make a fuss. As long as the emperor's dragon body is healthy, what does it matter if a few servants die?"

So many people died in a short time, but in Feng Zhen's eyes, it was just a 'guest' who ate.

In his words, he didn't treat palace servants and servants as human beings. Lively human lives were no different from chickens and ducks in his eyes. This attitude chilled Cheng Fuyun's heart.

Cheng Fuyun remembered that he had followed Feng Zhen for many years and devoted himself to him, but if one day he went against his will, I am afraid that those guards who would not be swallowed by evil spirits would be better off.

He felt resentment and defense in his heart, but on the surface he said respectfully:
"Yes."

While the two were talking, the black mist circled several times in midair, and then rushed towards the gate.

The moment he landed, the black air turned into a 'human figure', and he took two steps forward before turning around.

Although the figure resembled a human being, when the 'man' turned his head, he could still see the strangeness of the evil spirit.

That 'man' had a pointed face, with white complexion, raised eyes, surrounded by fiery red hairs, which made 'his' eyes reveal a strange and coquettish feeling.

'He' had long red hair, purple lips, and was wearing a fiery red gauze dress. He stood under the lamp, and his gaze was both sinister and stern.

"It's delicious." 'He' licked his lips, his tongue was much more pointed and long compared to human beings, he licked slowly along the corner of his lips, looked at Feng Zhen and Cheng Fuyun, with an undisguised expression in his eyes The color of greed.

A great sense of fear gripped Cheng Fuyun's heart.

He seemed to be stared at by a large ferocious beast, and the shadow of death enveloped him. He forcibly controlled himself not to tremble, and even his breathing stopped.

"The honored guest is here, the emperor is waiting for you."

Feng Zhen's face was also slightly pale, but compared to Qi Cheng Fuyun, he knew more about Emperor Shenqi's plan, and his loyalty gave him infinite courage, so he said calmly:

"Please go in directly."

The evil spirit smiled slightly, and when the corners of his lips parted, he revealed two sharp fangs, which were white and could easily pierce through a person's body.

"It's been a long time since I hunted like this. It's been 700 years. Sure enough, hunting is the most enjoyable thing. I really hope we can break through the border gate soon and live wantonly."

'He' smiled and straightened his long hair:

"Thank you so much for the emperor's hospitality."

"Don't worry, this is just an appetizer. If you fulfill the emperor's request, in the future..."

After Feng Zhen said this with a smile, the evil spirit was obviously very satisfied, and nodded:
"I look forward to that too."

After finishing speaking, 'he' stretched out his hand and pushed towards the door.

The door of the hall was tightly closed, and it didn't open after this push, but the evil figure became transparent and stepped into the hall.

As soon as the light in the palace dimmed, through the translucent window paper, Cheng Fuyun could see the shadow of a ghost above the window.

The demon had already left, but the shock and fear it brought to him did not disappear.

"you're right."

Feng Zhen suddenly turned his head:

"It's a pity that those palace people who are on duty today are sent to the Zhenmagic Division. There is no extra space in the Zhenmagic Division's prison to accommodate these people. You should immediately transfer these people to this palace to let the guests have fun."

"..." Cheng Fuyun felt a sense of fear in his heart, which was even deeper than when the evil spirits ate people before.

……

The ghosts in the palace flickered, and the palace of Emperor Shenqi was shrouded in evil spirits, and it seemed that someone was whispering all night.

And the Yao family's night was not peaceful.

Yao Ruoyun talked with his sister in the afternoon and knew that the situation was urgent. Although he had made up his mind to stay at home and live and die with his family, he actually didn't have the slightest confidence.

"Wen Jingsui and I are the same scholars, and my grandfather is even blood relatives to me."

In the dead of night, he lay in bed unable to sleep:
"My grandfather studied with the great Confucian Mr. Zhang, and became a great Confucian after enlightenment, with extraordinary supernatural powers." He thought: "Wen Jingsui is smarter than me, so after my grandfather came to Beijing that day, he showed supernatural powers, and he also became enlightened immediately. , has the qualifications to practice Confucianism and Taoism."

Thinking of this, he sighed and turned over:

"And my talent is not as good as Wen Jingsui, but not everyone in this world is talented and smart. I heard my grandfather mentioned that 700 years ago, great Confucianism was not what it is today. The power of Confucianism is also a great force to exterminate evil spirits." .”

In the darkness, Yao Ruoyun's eyes gradually lit up:

"Why did the predecessors at that time be able to cultivate Confucianism and Taoism, but not now?"

"Although I'm not as smart as Wen Jingsui, I have an advantage that he doesn't have. My grandfather lives under the same roof as me. If I don't understand anything, I can always ask him for advice."

He suddenly turned over and sat up:
"I'm not smart enough, but I can work harder than others." The more he thought about it, the happier he was:
"I have the heart of Confucianism and Taoism left by Zhang Zuzu. If I still can't get enlightened, I can't blame others, but I am not diligent enough."

Thinking of this, he immediately got up and got out of bed.

His personal servant outside the house heard the movement in the room and was awakened by him immediately, rubbing his eyes and asking:
"The young master is up at night?"

"You sleep, I can read a book."

Yao Ruoyun said in a deep voice.

He used to think he was diligent, but now it seems that hard work is not enough, otherwise he would not be able to understand the true meaning of Confucianism and Taoism without reason.

In the future, he will work harder than others, learn the spirit of the ancients who hang their heads on beams and pierce their buttocks, with the help of Zhang Raozhi's Confucianism and Taoism, and with the guidance of his grandfather, he will be enlightened sooner or later. You can also have the confidence to protect your family!

Yao Ruoyun stayed up all night, studying vigorously until the sky was about to dawn.

When Liu Qi woke up, the lights in the room had been on all night. He entered the inner room and saw that Yao Ruoyun was still in high spirits. There were two books in front of him, and he had written side notes for a long time.

"Eldest young master, aren't you going out of the city with eldest miss and Uncle Su today?" He reminded.

Yao Ruoyun woke up from the sound of reading, and quickly put down the book:
"Yes, yes, don't miss the time, Shouning will blame me for my ineffectiveness."

He urged Liuqi to fetch water to freshen up, and decided not to leave home, and there was nothing to clean up.

When they came to the main room, they saw that everyone had already gathered, obviously they had been waiting for a while.

There are several boxes in the courtyard outside the house, which are the luggage packed by everyone.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." Yao Ruoyun quickly apologized when everyone was there.

"It's okay, we came earlier."

Su Wenfang quickly waved his hands, Su Qingchun saw that he was empty-handed and only a servant was with him, so he couldn't help asking curiously:

"Cousin, why don't you have any luggage?"

"I originally enrolled in Ziguan Academy. There is my change of clothes and toiletries in the courtyard. It is close to Qingyun Temple, so I don't need to accept my things."

After Yao Ruojun finished answering, she looked at the luggage outside the courtyard:
"Have you packed it? Why are there only these few boxes?"

"It's all done."

Yao Wanning and the others responded.

Su Wenfang said:
"We didn't have much stuff at first. After we came to Shendu, my sister and brother-in-law helped to manage the purchase—"

He was a little ashamed, but when he mentioned the Liu family, the father and son looked a little sad.

Su Miaozhen took a look at Yao Ruoyun, and mustered up the courage to talk to him:

"Cousin, my aunt hasn't woken up yet, I, I don't worry about her very much, and I don't really want to go to Qingyun Temple, why don't you go, I will stay at home and take care of my aunt..."

She was blinded by evil spirits at the beginning, and she had a deep prejudice against Yao Ruoyun. When she saw him, she felt disgusted in her heart. After waking up, she remembered what she had done back then. She was ashamed and afraid. When she saw Yao Ruoyun, she felt guilty and dared not speak to him.

But at this moment, she was worried about the Liu family, and also vaguely felt that the Yao family was in a hurry to send them away at this time, and she was afraid that something would happen next.

At this moment, Su Miaozhen's mentality changed, she had long regarded the Yao family members as her own, she was worried and unwilling to leave alone in a critical moment.

Hearing her request, Yao Ruoyun didn't know what to do for a moment, and looked at Yao Shouning as if asking for help.

"Miaozhen, don't make it difficult for your cousin." At this moment, Liu Bingzhou uttered a voice to help.

It's good that he didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, Su Miaozhen turned around immediately:
"Grandfather, we don't understand, why did you suddenly leave the city to go to Qingyun Temple at this time?"

For her, talking to Liu Bingzhou was obviously less stressful than talking to Yao Ruojun. Her expression quickly returned to normal, and she asked:
"Is something important going to happen at home, and you and Shouning don't want to implicate us?" After finishing speaking, she looked at Yao Shouning.

Yao Shouning was taken aback, with a nervous expression on his face, he also turned to look at Liu Bingzhou.

But then she realized that she was too impatient.

No matter how clever the cousin is, she is only guessing and not sure, but through her own reaction at this time, she must have confirmed something.

Thinking of this, Yao Shouning felt a little regretful.

"Correct."

Liu Bingzhou glanced at her reassuringly, then nodded to Su Miaozhen, directly acknowledging the granddaughter's guess.

"Grandfather—"

"Father-in-law!"

Su Wenfang's father and daughter exclaimed when they heard the words.

Liu Bingzhou waved his hands, signaling them to be calm, and then said seriously:

"It will happen sooner or later, and I don't want to hide it from you."

He said:
"The evil spirits can't hold it back anymore, and they are full of resentment recently. Sooner or later, the 'River God' will make a comeback. Once the 'River God' arrives, I am also very worried about whether the city of God will exist."

Liu Bingzhou didn't hide from the younger generation, Su Miaozhen and the others' expressions changed slightly, they looked at each other, with a look of fear and uneasiness in their eyes.

Su Miaozhen's heart is heavy.

As a person who was once possessed by the demon king, she is quite familiar with Yao Wanning's experience, and she also has a feeling for the horror of the "River God".

"Grandfather, since this is the case, shouldn't we stay? After all, a family should..."

"no!"

Liu Bingzhou categorically denied:
"The power of the 'River God' has grown a bit more than before. I'm not sure. What's the point of you staying?"

Su Wenfang is just a Confucian student, and he can't lift his shoulders or carry it with his hands. Su Miaozhen and his brother have no power to fight back against evil spirits.

"To put it bluntly, if you stay away from the dangerous place of God's Capital, I have nothing to worry about, and I can fight the 'River God' with my hands and feet. I will protect you with all my heart."

His outspokenness made Su Wenfang blush, and he dared not say the rhetoric of 'I want to stay and live with my family'.

And Yao Ruoyun, who had originally made up her mind to stay, was also hit hard and began to doubt her life.

"..." Yao Ruoyun looked at Yao Shouning in fear, and suddenly realized that he was also one of the 'burdens'. If he couldn't protect himself and stayed in the capital, wouldn't he be a burden on his grandfather?

Yao Shouning saw his elder brother's expression as if struck by lightning, and was almost amused by him, but before she could speak, a scene suddenly flashed in her mind: the people from Zhenmagic Division rushed towards the four major city gates holding the imperial decree.

In front of the bulletin boards of the major city gates, the new regulations promulgated by Emperor Shenqi were announced: I feel that the gods have the virtue of good life, and this investigation by the Zhenmagic Division found that... the alienated people gradually regained their rationality... so they were released on the spot ...allowing these people to return home...in order...to show my great kindness...I have decided to coexist with the demon...

"Coexist with the demon!"

Yao Shouning exclaimed in surprise.

The scene she had predicted before reappeared this time, and it was clearer than last time.

Su Miaozhen's guess came true, Emperor Shenqi went crazy and decided to coexist with the demon!
The ancestors of the Zhu family put in a lot of effort and countless people sacrificed their flesh and blood to finally drive away the evil spirits, allowing the descendants of the descendants to have 700 years of peace to live.

Unexpectedly, now that Emperor Shenqi is insane, he would make such a decision, overturning the efforts of his predecessors, and making everyone's efforts come to naught.

She was anxious and angry, Liu Bingzhou's expression sank:
"What did you say?"

"The emperor's decision is to coexist with the demon!"

Yao Shouning expressed his prediction:
"Release the demonized person, determined to coexist with the demon." While speaking, the palace shrouded in black mist flashed in her mind: the palace was surrounded by black air, and under the night lights, a black mist flew into the palace. In an instant, the lives of several guards were taken away.

The emperor acquiesced in the evil spirits hunting humans!
At the same moment, she felt terrified:

"Grandfather, we can't waste any more time, let eldest brother and the others leave the city immediately."

As soon as her words fell, everyone looked shocked.

Liu Bingzhou didn't ask her in detail what she had foreseen, but from her ugly face, he guessed that something was wrong.

He waved decisively:

"Immediately load the things into the carriage, and then I will personally send your mother out of the city."

Yao Shouning nodded, and urged his family members to quickly move their things into the car. Everyone was panicked, but they all knew that the situation was urgent, so no one said anything more.

Yao Wanning bit her lips hesitantly, she stroked her belly with one hand, and tucked her other hand into her sleeve.

Originally, like Yao Ruoyun, she made up her mind to stay with her family, but what Liu Bingzhou said earlier woke her up again.

If "River God" is the husband of her dream and still has reason, then "he" will definitely not hurt his family, because he knows that such actions will make her sad, and there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation between the couple in this life.

But—but if 'he' has become a monster and is completely irrational, then even if she stays, it may be difficult to stop 'him', and it will only distract her grandfather.
