Chapter 1340 Sui Houzhu’s plan

Chang'an City in the morning was no different from usual.

Everything is shrouded in darkness, swept away invisible as day comes.

As long as you are in a normal order, wanting to hurt someone's life becomes a delusion.

Zhang Xuezhou and others were not afraid of great scholars such as Shen Peigong and directly chose to return to Chang'an City from the city gate entrance. The same was true for Kong Zhong and others.

In front of the city gate, Kong Zhong and others were covered in mud. They had to take off their clothes and shake off the mud at the gate guard before they were allowed to enter the city.

"They are the ones who ran back!"

Yi Yan was almost made to doubt her life by Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding. When she saw Kong Zhong and others, and then looked at herself who was relatively clean, she finally felt that Kong Zhong and others seemed to have traveled dozens of miles, and They are much cleaner.

"I think there are still night horses in the mountains!"

She murmured in a low voice, only to hear Zhang Xuezhou extending his hand to say hello warmly.

"Brother An Guo, it's so good to see you!"

"Why are you scared? It's just that you were bombed." Ye Siqian said, "It's not a good place to talk. It's better not to talk nonsense!"

Kong Anguo quickly walked dozens of steps and followed Zhang Xuezhou and others who were waiting in the distance.

The collapse of the passage also covered up many things.

"Thank me?"

Kong Anguo, who survived the catastrophe, felt satisfied, and it was normal for him to be happy accordingly.

His mentality is indeed different from that of ordinary people, or it can be said that the mentality of the Kong family is very different, and surviving in any way will make them very happy.

"Yes, we invite you," Kong Zhong nodded.

In short, all their obligations to Shen Peigong were over, and no one from the court came to arrest them.

There was no panic on Kong Anguo's face, as if he had survived a catastrophe, but genuine happiness from the bottom of his heart.

"You invited me to breakfast last time, and I'll invite you back this time," Zhang Xuezhou extended his hand to invite.

"It's our turn to ask for help," Kong Anguo said.

"Brother Ye, you always say not to talk nonsense, but you said what I haven't said yet!"

Several people scraped the mud off their bodies, wrapped their coats and hung them on their bodies, before being allowed into the city by the guards at the city gate.

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou and others queuing up to enter the city, he couldn't help but bow to express his thanks.

He said hello, and Kong Anguo, who was shaking off his muddy clothes at the city gate, looked happy.

"Brother Dongfang!"

Zhang Xuezhou was really polite. After all, he couldn't just turn a blind eye when he met an acquaintance.

"Oh, you don't know what happened to us last night," said Du Wencai, who likes to talk, "I'll scare you to death if I tell you!"

"Brother Dongfang, I'm very happy to see you too. We are about to come to thank you!"

Du Wencai muttered, but said nothing more.

"Brother An Guo!"

"Brother Kong, we have no money left," Du Wencai touched Kong Zhong and reminded him.

"No money, no money...if we don't have money, we have to accept other people's kindness!"

Kong Zhong thought for several seconds before holding back these rather shameless words.

But his thinking is not rigid, and he cannot take care of face issues when he is hungry.

He said something abruptly and followed Zhang Xuezhou, who was treating guests to dinner.

Walking along the entrance of Chang'an City for more than 200 meters, walking to the left is the entrance to the East Market, and walking to the right is to the entrance of the West Market. There are quite a few breakfast shops along the street.

Zhang Xuezhou took the shortcut home and went directly to the West Market, choosing a nearby restaurant that served breakfast.

For only one and a half taels, you can buy three millet pancakes. If you are willing to pay extra, you can add minced meat to the millet pancakes to eat, and there are also common breakfast items such as millet porridge.

Zhang Xuezhou also allowed everyone to eat as they pleased. It was a bit difficult for him to invite a large number of people to have a formal meal in Chang'an City, but there was no problem with the roadside breakfast.

"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for lending us the Holy Order!"

After holding breakfast in both hands, Kong Anguo found a small stool next to Zhang Xuezhou and couldn't help but thank him in a low voice and explained the reason for his gratitude.

"This is something left by your ancestors," Zhang Xuezhou said speechlessly, "It's a good thing that he blesses you!" "This is the first time I've seen my ancestors." Kong Anguo had endless aftertaste: "My ancestors were indeed tall and strong. , Even though he is older, he is still as powerful as a dragon and a tiger!"

"Your ancestors were indeed very tall!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded.

He had also seen Kong Shengling manifest the Dharma and protect him. After the Dharma was revealed, the other person was a head and a half taller than him, and correspondingly his body was extremely tall and strong.

Zhang Xuezhou stood in front of the other party, just like Yi Yan, who looked petite compared to his height.

He responded, knowing that Kong Anguo and others escaped by relying on Kong Sheng's order to reveal the Dharma.

"Don't tell me, there are very few people like my ancestors in the world," Kong Anguo said.

"That is required!"

"I have only seen the grace of my ancestor in portraits in the past, but I never expected to see the projection of a real person's spiritual thoughts." Kong Anguo said: "That's really how every move has infinite charm!"

"What is spiritual projection?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.

"That's when the ancestors' spiritual thoughts are put into the treasure, and then they are injected with great mana, and the mana is activated under certain specific conditions." Kong Anguo thought: "This is actually no different from a triggering mechanism. It just wants to use spiritual thoughts and mana to form The mechanism requires extremely strong cultivation and a magic weapon that can carry it."

"I see!"

"We encountered a serious danger last night. Our ancestors may have sensed it and showed up to stop the disaster." Kong Zhong interjected in a low voice: "Shen Peigong said that the evil spirit of the corpse was so strong that a peerless evil thing was about to rush out and harm the world!"

"Then your ancestors surrendered to a peerless beast?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.

"Yes, surrendered!"

Kong Zhong nodded repeatedly.

He felt in his pocket and took out an orange-sized black ball.

"This is the evil thing that our ancestors surrendered," Kong Zhong said: "This is definitely a good treasure. If you are willing to nod and agree, we will use this evil treasure to redeem the holy order!"

"What is the purpose of this evil thing?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully: "Why do I feel so unlucky!"

"It is definitely not auspicious before surrendering, but it will be auspicious after surrendering," Kong Zhong explained: "Just like a tiger that hurts someone is killed, the tiger bones can be used as medicine. These are treasures!"

"That seems to make some sense, but what effect does it have?" Zhang Xuezhou said.

"You know, what our ancestors showed up to surrender is definitely not a mortal thing, it must have a great effect," Kong Zhong said.

"We really don't see it having any effect at the moment!"

Seeing that Kong Zhong couldn't explain, Kong Anguo had no choice but to stop his father, who was eager to cherish the treasure, back.

"I have read many treasure classics, but I can't be completely sure now," Kong Anguo said in a low voice: "If it is consistent with my guess, this treasure is indeed not inferior to our family's holy order."

"Oh?"

"This may be the Enlightenment Bead, or it may be the inner elixir of the peerless great demon. Another possibility is that it is the rumored Sui Hou Bead, or a treasure similar to the Sui Hou Bead!"

"I understand the second one, what are the other two?"

"The Enlightenment Beads are the remnants of some great cultivators after they were incinerated. The power of the great cultivators may remain in them, or they may inspire people's insights. Those who can leave the Enlightenment Beads are all powerful and powerful. For practitioners, enlightenment beads are extremely rare." Kong Anguo said: "As for the latter type, it is a sacrificial object after the war launched by the Qin Dynasty. It is said that it has the ability to control ghost objects, which is the dream of those who practice soul control, corpse control and other spells. Treasure!"

"There is indeed a mystery!"

Zhang Xuezhou's heart moved.

He remembered Jinchang's purpose of coming to Yangling, but he didn't expect to see the pursuit of King Huainan.

"What does King Huainan want Sui Houzhu to do?" Zhang Xuezhou wondered in his heart: "Does he want to control the body of Emperor Jing?"

Zhang Xuezhou thought for a few seconds and felt a little bit about the Huainan King's intention to seek the treasure.

The other party may have wanted to perform a trick of showing Emperor Jing's corpse when offering sacrifices to Emperor Jing, thus forcing the new emperor to abdicate.

This method is simple but effective, allowing King Huainan to directly obtain the title of Dayi without the permission of the Queen Mother.

But achieving all this requires two prerequisites.

One is that Emperor Jing has turned into a ghost, and the other is that Emperor Jing needs to be able to control the emperor who has turned into a ghost.

If any of the conditions were violated, King Huainan's plan would be impossible to realize.
