Li Guoyi, Xiao Ye, Lin Wei, and Pei He finished drinking the peach blossom wine and dispersed directly.
Xiao Ye continued to stay in this ancient battlefield and hone his martial arts.
Pei He went to the Sword Tomb.
Lin Wei followed Li and returned to Tongfu Inn together.
His coffin is still in the inn, under the care of Xiao Qianjun.
The sun is always hanging high in the ruins of the battlefield, but outside the ruins, in the small town of Linggui, most of the night has passed and dawn is approaching, the darkest time of the day.
Due to one incident after another, the residents of the town no longer dared to travel at night. Ordinary monks from other places were also afraid of encountering the blood-hunting team of the Prince of Zhennan, so they hid.
There was not a single pedestrian on the street at night.
Li Chaoyi and Lin Wei walked in Ping'an Square, leaving behind a string of clear sounds.
Arriving near the inn, Lin Wei suddenly looked strange and took out a hard object from his arms.
"Is this a turtle shell talisman?" Li Changyi was surprised.
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression became strange. He reached into his arms and took out a piece of turtle shell.
Lin Wei looked at him.
Li Chaoyi carefully looked at the turtle shell in his hand and said: "This is indeed a turtle shell talisman. It seems that we killed Yu Hui to prevent Huangfu Zhao from continuing to arrest the people of the town, and indirectly protected them. Lao Turtle gave it to us
In return.”
"Xiao Ye and Pei He should also be there."
The half-demon boy stared at the turtle shell for a long time and then put it away.
Li Qingyi also put it away.
To be honest, neither he, Lin Wei, nor Xiao Ye, nor Pei He thought of winning the favor of the old turtle by killing Yu Hui and Huangfu Zhao.
Just because Huangfu Zhao deserved to die and Yu Hui deserved to be killed, they did it.
This turtle shell talisman is an unexpected surprise.
Entering the inn, Xiao Qianjun was still asleep. He lit a lamp and sat on the window, guarding the black coffin while waiting for his senior brother to come back.
Lin Wei stepped forward, touched her head, and left carrying the black coffin.
"Brother Lin Wei, walk slowly, I believe you can save the old man in the coffin!"
Lin Wei turned around, pursed her lips slightly, seemed to be smiling, and quickly turned around and left.
"Xiao Qian'er, can you sense the person in the coffin?"
Li Changyi was a little curious.
"Yeah, that should be brother Lin Wei's grandfather. In the picture I saw before, brother Lin Wei was picked up from the mountains by his grandfather and raised since he was a child."
"Later, a group of bad guys broke into the village, killed everyone, and burned down the entire village. Brother Lin Wei's grandfather also died."
"He was only six years old at the time. Brother Lin Wei awakened his bloodline that night."
Li Changyi remembered the second time he met the half-demon boy under the ruined tower.
Xiao Qianjun said that she saw him sitting outside a thatched hut, guarding the black coffin, crying all the time. There were dead people everywhere around him. Fires appeared in every corner of the village, and the firelight lit up most of the night sky.
"Elder brother, brother Lin Wei should be able to save grandpa, right?" Xiao Qianjun asked expectantly.
"His black coffin was made of the Nine Netherworld Resurrection Wood of the Lesser Underworld, and he fed it with the blood of demons, retaining a trace of vitality. If he can really obtain the Soul-Eating Flower in the Western Region, he should be able to be saved."
"Elder brother, the Taiyin mother earth given by the fat Taoist priest also comes from the small underworld. Can it be used together with the Nine Nether Resurrection Wood? Will it be helpful to the old man?"
"I really haven't thought about this."
"Is that possible?"
"probably."
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qianjun turned into a blue light and left.
He came back after a while, with a cheerful smile on his face, obviously sending the lunar soil away.
The little one is really willing to give up. This lunar mother soil is the most nourishing to small plants and animals like her.
Of course, she is willing to give it away, and Li Chunyi will never object.
It was dawn in the east, so Li Qingyue simply stopped taking a break and continued reading.
As usual, Xiao Qianjun turned into a potted plant and stayed by his side.
…
In a courtyard on Guanshui Street in the small town, there were also people awake.
Zhao Tieyi, the eight-star swordsman of the Great Wei Dynasty, was one of the strongest men in the town with his eight-level cultivation, but his attitude at this time was very respectful.
Opposite him sat a young man who was dressed simply but had an air of his own.
"Your Highness, Yu Hui is missing, and Huangfu Zhao died at the hands of Changsheng Guan Zhang Yiguan. This matter will definitely cause a huge disturbance, right?" Zhao Tieyi said.
The young man opposite is also His Highness, but he is not the Crown Prince of Zhennan, but the Ninth Prince of the Wei Dynasty.
The great name Cao was hollowed out.
As the first deputy envoy, he went to Xiufeng Mountain to congratulate the new Peach Blossom God, accompanied by Zhao Buyi, Minister of Rites, and Deputy Supervisor of Qin Tianjian.
On the way, I received the news that the Taixu Old Turtle was about to wake up and migrate, so I immediately headed south under the starry night, arrived in time, and quietly sneaked into the town.
Except for Zhao Tieyi, no one else knew that he was coming.
Seeing the worried look on Zhao Tieyi's face, he asked, "Are you worried that Huangfu Changtian's loss of his son will cause chaos in the country?"
"Yes, after all, King Zhennan only has one son."
"Don't worry, it's not like Huangfu Changtian can't regenerate. If one dies, it'll be fine if he regenerates a few. Besides, the matter of kings with different surnames must be resolved sooner or later. This kind of political affairs should be left to the central government, Gongun, to plan.
, as a knife wielder, you don’t need to worry too much.”
Zhao Tieyi bowed: "His Highness taught you right."
Cao Zhuokong smiled and said: "You don't have to be so reserved in front of me. You and I both came from Zhengfa Academy. After all, you are still my senior brother."
"Don't dare!"
When Cao Zukong saw him like this, he didn't care.
Zhengfa Academy is a Legalist academy located on the west hill of the capital city of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Cao Zukong, the ninth prince, and Zhao Tieyi, the sword holder, are both disciples of Legalism.
The Wei court also valued Legalism more than Confucianism.
Therefore, although Hanshan Academy is within the territory of Wei State, its relationship with the Wei court and the Cao family is not very close.
Because of its strength, heritage, and influence in the entire Beizhi Gezhou, its status is very transcendent.
"You have done a good job since you entered the town. No matter where Old Turtle ends up next, the people in Linggui Town are still my subjects of Dawei at least for now. Since the Demon Division of Dawei Town is here, I should do my best to protect you and not use it.
He was bullied and killed by others."
Cao Zuokong spoke again.
Zhao Tieyi replied: "This is a matter within my scope."
Cao Zukong admired this senior fellow from Zhengfa Academy even more, and said: "When I go back, I will ask my father for credit on your behalf."
"It's my responsibility, I don't dare to claim credit."
After chatting for a while, Zhao Tieyi said goodbye and left.
When he walked away, Cao Zhuokong took out a turtle shell and started playing with it casually.
A young man in white robes, about fifteen or sixteen years old, walked out of the room.
This young man in white robe has fair skin, bright eyes and white teeth. At first glance, he is dressed as a girl.
She walked closer and said, "Brother Ninth, that Yu Hui hasn't appeared yet, so he must be dead. Who do you think did it?"
Cao Zukong said: "Yu Hui is a master of the Nine Realms. Except for Granny Meng, no one in the town should be his opponent. If he really dies, he must have been killed by someone's team."
Granny Meng is their protector.
The girl asked curiously: "Who could those be?"
"Even if we join forces to kill a Nine Realm Grandmaster, not everyone can do it. In today's small town, there are only a few people who can do it."
"who?"
"It's nothing more than Xiao Ye from the Yu Kingdom, Pei He from the Hidden Lake, Han Xiankong from the Mingshan Mountain, Cui Youlin from the Cui family, Li Guanyi from the Hanshan Mountain, Zhang Yiguan from the Changsheng Guan, plus the half-demon boy."
"Brother Ninth, the battle between Xiao Ye Wenquan and Li Qianyi was really exciting and surprising. If it were you, would you be able to beat any of them?"
Recalling the boxing contest on Luotong Street, Cao Zukong also had a strange expression in his eyes. After a few moments, he replied: "It's hard to say whether we will win, but we will definitely not lose."
The girl blinked, feeling in her heart that her ninth brother was still inferior.
She saw the turtle shell in her brother's hand and changed the subject: "Brother Ninth, counting the time, the turtle shell talisman should have appeared by now, right? Shouldn't there be a sign of the final opportunity?"
Cao Zhuokong looked up at the sky and said: "It should be about the same. According to precedent, Taixu Old Turtle will leave behind those who have not received the trust talisman before completely leaving the human world. Maybe there will be results in these two days."
Just as the Ninth Prince said, two days later, the sky changed again.
