Dao fruit.

Qiu Yan's cultivation base of life and dao has been cultivated with flesh and blood, and the two forces of light and darkness move with his heart, and his six senses are sensitive. As long as someone looks at him, his skin will respond to the gaze.

Now, the back of his neck is cold, the pores are naturally closed, and his hair suddenly rises. There is haze and pressure in his heart. It is obvious that he is being stared at by an extraordinary person, but Qiu Yan wanders around, sweeping his eyes across the trees and jungle, I didn't see half a person, and I listened quietly, but I couldn't catch the movement, it seemed to be just an illusion.

However, this made him vigilant.

"Now I have strength running through my whole body, and my perception is sensitive. Although my eyes can't see Yin ghosts, they are meticulous. I can clearly see a stone hundreds of meters away. Right now, it is difficult to find clues, which means that this person is either far away, Either it is hidden and difficult to find, no matter what it is, it is not easy! This has just settled Chen Qichang, and there are still many trivial matters, so it is not appropriate to add extra problems."

Although Chen Qichang, the goat demon, was refined into a blood pill by the Kitchen God's fire, it is not over. It has extraordinary cultivation and must have subordinates. Once his subordinates realize what happened to the goat demon and reveal it, Qiu Yan will be in danger of being exposed.

He moved back to Qingchang from Yuanning City in order to reduce troubles and let the Liu family settle down, but he didn't expect that people are not as good as God. In Qingchang City, the gods are declining, monsters are haunting, and there is no taboo!

These things were all accidents, and no one could have expected them in advance. Now that the sheep demon is bestowing the head, the possible sequelae are beyond Qiu Yan's control.

"However, in a life-and-death confrontation, you can live and die, and you can't hesitate at all. If I am soft-hearted because of thinking about future troubles, I will be beaten to death directly. As for the future, I can only try my best to solve it. It is also a kind of training. If it doesn't work, just continue. move……"

It would be fine if Qiu Yan was the only one, but with the Liu family involved, he had to be more cautious. These are all related to cause and effect.

Thinking in his heart, but he couldn't find anyone observing him, Qiu Yan didn't stay any longer, started walking like flying, and disappeared into the depths of the forest in a blink of an eye.

………………

Outside the woods, on the road.

A team of people was moving slowly, the road was dusty, and the whole convoy looked dusty.

At the head of the line was a large carriage, the curtains of which had been lifted up, revealing an old-fashioned face.

"Teacher, what are you looking at?"

A voice sounded from the car, it was a slightly low and steady male voice.

The old man lowered the curtains, turned around and looked back: "I'm looking at people."

This is an old man in his sixties, with five willows and long beards, and his hair is almost snow-white. He is tied with a crown of beams. , like a towering mountain, despite the bumps of the carriages, it still remains motionless.

"Oh? I don't know what kind of person is able to attract the teacher's attention."

The person who said this was a Confucian scholar in his thirties, dressed in a green shirt, with simple attire and an ordinary face, but his eyes were like bright stars. Upon closer inspection, he gave off a dazzling feeling. He crossed his legs While sitting, put a long sword across your knees, and put your hands together, as if you are playing the piano.

A few small bookshelves were placed around the old and the young, filled with books, the entire carriage was like a small study.

The old man raised his head slightly, his drooping eyelids slightly opened, revealing a pair of bright eyes.

"Maybe you will see this person soon."

After the words fell, the car paused and stopped, and then someone said outside: "Old Xiangguo, Mr. Shen, Qingchang City is coming soon. The county magistrate got the news and brought people to meet him. The little one is burdened." Order, I have to go to the city to pass the obituary first, and I am here to say goodbye."

Hearing this, the old man frowned: "I'm a grassroots person now, how can I let the court order officials to come out to greet me?" He turned his head and said to the young man, "Let Wang Wen tell the county magistrate of Qingchang, don't bother the teachers and mobilize the crowd, cough cough..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by his own cough.

Although the voice is not high, it has a convincing flavor. Once it is spoken, it seems to have become a decree or policy of the imperial court.

The young man didn't say a word, he got up and left. When he got outside the car, he bowed his hands when he saw the messenger who was speaking, and then turned and went to the end of the line.

At this time, the old man's voice came from the car again, but he was apologizing to the messenger, and the messenger immediately waved his hands flattered.

After a while, the courier returned to the convoy, got on his horse, and hurried away. Not long after the man left, another man left on horseback and galloped towards Qingchang County.

The convoy moved slowly, and it took nearly an hour to reach the county seat.

On the edge of the city gate, Dong Qiu, the magistrate of Qingchang County, waited quietly with a group of people. He was going to greet him with great fanfare, but he received news on the way, so he took the people back, but he didn't dare to sit in the county office, otherwise it would spread Go out and say that he is a crime of disrespect, so don't even think about getting ahead in the future.

The convoy stopped, and the old man in the wagon came out.

"Your Majesty, Dong Qiu, I have met Old Ma Xiangguo." The county magistrate Dong Qiu immediately stepped forward to salute when he saw the person, and everyone behind followed him, saluting loudly, but unevenly.

The old man shook his head, and said lightly: "I am no longer a prime minister, so you are not an official."

Dong Qiu was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly apologized. The old man came too quickly, and he had just received the news, so he had no time to prepare.

………………

"Who is that old guy? Why is it that the magistrate sees him like a mouse sees a cat?"

Far away, at the corner of the city, several government servants were looking at the scene in front of the city gate, and someone couldn't help asking.

"It's normal if you don't know about it." One of them smiled, his face turning red.

Someone next to him was interested, so he quickly asked: "Old Li, you and the master are related by marriage, and the news is the best, so hurry up and tell your brother."

"Brothers, of course I won't hide it from you. In fact, I just got the news that this old man is a high official in the court! The kind who can often see the emperor! Is it big enough?"

"Good guy! Such a big official? You can even see the emperor. This is a high-ranking official. A year's salary is probably enough to fill the entire county office, huh? How could such a big official come to our place? Came from the backcountry?"

Lao Li said again: "I heard that the emperor was offended by something, and the emperor was so angry that he sent him here!"

"It turned out to be a prisoner, so what is there to be afraid of? Why did the county master make such a gesture?"

Lao Li shook his head: "You guys don't understand! For such an official, Jane is in the heart of the emperor. Ups and downs are common. They say that they are allotted. Who dares to make things difficult when they get to the place? Maybe they suffer here today and go back to enjoy the blessing tomorrow. Can our county magistrate make a living offering? Maybe when he returns to the court, a word will make the magistrate ascend to heaven!"

"It makes sense!"

"As expected of Brother Li."

They were still talking, when suddenly someone ran over from the street behind them, the man was panting, also wearing yamen clothes, when he came to him, he didn't care to take a breath, and hurriedly said: "Brothers, go back quickly, the master is looking for you, The copywriting is all written, and it will be posted all over the city!"

"Post a list? What list to post?"

"The emperor... the emperor is dead!"

"what!"

……

The few people who were exclaiming didn't notice that there was a figure standing there at the corner of the street not far away——

This person is Qiu Yan.

He watched the movement at the city gate and listened to the conversations of the yamen servants, feeling thoughtful.

"Senior official? Could it be that he was the loser in the power struggle after the new emperor ascended the throne? Why is it such a coincidence that he came to Qingchang County by chance?"
