Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 290 The Suspicious Person
Fan Cheng didn't speak immediately.

However, a bold guess appeared in his heart——

"Maybe this is caused by luck?"

He thought that the feng shui masters of the Great Wilderness are a group of monks who fight by manipulating luck, and His Majesty the Emperor can also use the "Tai'a Sword" to control the national destiny of the Daqi Dynasty.

If the feng shui master is not careful in the process of casting the spell, he may be haunted by evil spirits, possessed by evil spirits, and may even be eroded by bad luck and become weak.

The luck mastered by Emperor Da Qi is undoubtedly much larger than that of ordinary Feng Shui masters.

So is he also likely to be backlashed by luck?

But after thinking of this, Fan Cheng immediately stopped his thoughts, and didn't think about it any further.

He felt that his thoughts were a little outrageous.

Because in the hearts of the people of Daqi, His Majesty the Emperor is like a god.

How could such things as weakness, illness, and enchantment that would only afflict ordinary people exist in His Majesty the Emperor?

Many people even believe that even after the death of the past emperors, they still exist in this world in the form of spirits and souls, silently protecting this country in a place invisible to the world.

Just as Fan Cheng was frowning and contemplating, the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan suddenly shook his head lightly, and said, "Maybe I think too much."

Having said that, he turned around and walked through the hall, bypassing the screen wall, and walked straight towards the depths of the courtyard.

Fan Cheng followed closely behind.

The vermilion door was slowly closed, and two metal puppets in silver armor quietly hid in the shadow beside them.

That's all for this topic.

The two quickly threw the confusion in their minds out of the sky, as if it had never existed.

Only the emerald green glazed tiles still glow under the early spring sun.

…………

The northernmost block in Luojing City is called "Fengcaifang".

Standing at this place, looking up to the north, you can clearly see the tall and majestic city walls, the neatly arranged crenels, and the gate towers and arrow towers further away.

Although this place is called "Fengcai", it is actually a slum area in Luojing City. The buildings are dilapidated and old, and the walls are full of signs of wind and rain erosion and man-made destruction.From day to night, the place is filled with the voices of pedestrians, the shouts of vendors, and the shouts of neighbors...it is almost never quiet.

But today it was unusually quiet here.

A black carriage slowly passed by in the alley.

When it appeared, pedestrians involuntarily retreated to the sides of the road.

the reason is simple.

On the side wall of this carriage, there is a silver-white pattern shaped like a star map.

That is the symbol of Daqi Exorcist.

For the practitioners of the Exorcist Division, the people of Daqi generally have deep feelings in their hearts-they look forward to the extraordinary ability of the practitioners to fly to the sky and escape the earth, to call the wind and rain, and they also admire them to kill demons and demons, and defend the country An act of peace and tranquility.

So even if the officials on the carriage were very low-key, did not bring a guard of honor, and no one was ringing gongs to clear the way, the passers-by in the alley did not dare to make any noise.

And in their hearts, they will also be curious about the tasks and actions of the monks of the Exorcism Department——

"You tell me, where will the adults of the Exorcist Division go after leaving the city? What ghosts will they deal with?" Someone covered their mouths and murmured in a low voice.

"Could it be that we are going to Beimang Mountain to deal with the vicious 'Mangshan Ghost King'?"

"Probably not! I heard that the 'Mangshan Ghost King' is very powerful. It used to be king in the tombs of the Great Chu Dynasty. Ordinary monks have no ability to deal with it."

"Maybe there is a saint hidden in this carriage?"

"Impossible! How can a saint-level powerhouse travel in such a simple, unadorned carriage? It must be a golden carriage with at least eight white horses, and it must be inlaid with pearls and jade. The status of a saint."

"What if the saint has an important task and doesn't want to be too ostentatious? I heard a story told by a scholar in a tavern a few days ago. A strong saint disguised himself as an ordinary saint, sneaked into the brothel, and There was a dispute with other guests. Later, everyone discovered that the old bustard here is a female ghost, and the other women are corpses under her control. If the saint hadn't acted in time to save all the guests, then everyone would have died in the night After descending, it becomes the food of this female ghost."

"Why is the version of the story I heard a bit different? I remember that the sage and strong man concealed his identity and went to the brothel, and met the maidservant who looked down upon others..."

"..."

However, to everyone's surprise, the black carriage with the logo of the Exorcist didn't drive straight towards the north city gate, but stopped in front of a simple small restaurant by the alley.

"Is there a ghost hiding in this restaurant?"

"Didn't it mean that Luojing City is completely safe under the protection of His Majesty the Emperor, and it is impossible for there to be any ghosts?"

"Maybe they didn't come to catch ghosts, but to deal with internal affairs? For example, a subordinate absented from work without reason and secretly hid in this place to drink?"

"..."

People who are keen to eat melons are undoubtedly deeply surprised by this.

Soon, a young woman in a light green dress stepped out of the black carriage.

She is tall and thin, with clean eyebrows and spotless clothes. Standing in this dirty, noisy and smelly alley, she looks out of place with the surrounding environment.

Although her appearance was not the most outstanding in the Great Qi Dynasty, she still caught the eyes of everyone around her.After all, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for such a fresh and beautiful girl to appear in such a back alley full of dust, garbage and foul language.

"Gu Daoyou, is this the place?" The woman in the green skirt turned her head and whispered into the carriage.

"That's right." A flat voice came from the carriage.

Afterwards, a young man in green clothes also came out of the carriage.

When they saw his appearance, the people around them were even more dazed for a moment, they just felt that they were dazzled, and they all thought in unison: How could there be such an exile-like figure in this market place?

The boy was playing with a copper coin in his hand.

Under the shining of the sun, it glows with dazzling brilliance.

…………

Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin didn't pay attention to the eyes of others.

They went straight into the restaurant, trying to find out where the ghost was hiding.

According to the habit in the process of carrying out tasks before, Shangguan Jin first covered the entire restaurant with his spiritual consciousness, trying to lock out the place where the evil spirit is the strongest.

However, relying on the powerful spiritual perception of a monk in the fourth realm, she searched several times, but found nothing.

Like other places in the capital, the entire restaurant is filled with a strong "imperial dragon spirit" - that is the breath from the "Dragon Formation", which originates from the dragon veins under Luojing City, with a masculine and domineering momentum , Dispelling the evil spirits in the capital.

This made her frown tightly.

"Gu Daoyou, can you find the clues of the ghost?" She pondered for a moment, then asked Gu Xu again.

He didn't answer right away.

With serious eyes, he first glanced around the restaurant, then glanced at a waiter carrying a plate, and said to Shangguan Jin: "Friend Shangguan, do you think this waiter looks familiar?"

Hearing his words, Shangguan Jin also looked in the direction he said.

At the urging of the boss, the waiter ran out of the kitchen with a plate full of dishes, and almost tripped over the leg of a chair.

He is young, not tall, of medium build, with a sickly pale complexion, an obvious mole next to his eyes, and wearing a greasy gray cloth shirt.

"I don't have any impression." Shangguan Jin shook his head, saying that he had never seen this person before.

"If I remember correctly, this person looks exactly like an official of the Exorcist Department nearly 20 years ago," Gu Xu said in a flat tone, "His name is 'Wu Danggui', and because of his outstanding cultivation talent, He was selected into the "Shen Ji Battalion" and joined the geniuses at that time to slay demons and demons across the country.

"Later, the previous generation of 'Shenji Battalion' was wiped out in the process of trying to kill the ghost 'Qongqi', and this senior Wu was naturally not spared."

"A monk from the 'Shenji Camp' of the previous generation?" Shangguan Jin was very surprised.

"That's right," Gu Xu nodded and replied, "I've looked through some personnel files in the history of the Exorcism Division before, and I remember the portraits of each of them, and I also remember the text descriptions of each of them in the files. ——For example, the description of this senior Wu in the file is 'Wu Danggui, with a moderate build, a fair face, no beard, moles at the corners of his eyes, thin eyes and thin lips'.

"It's just that I feel very strange now—

"If it is said that this senior Wu escaped death in a desperate situation, why has his appearance not changed at all after nearly 20 years, and there is no sign of aging at all?"

Shangguan Jin's first reaction was: This senior Wu may have been tricked by ghosts and ghosts, turning him into a ghoul-like existence.

But she quickly denied this guess. After all, the shop waiter did not have a ghostly aura on him, but instead had a normal body temperature and continuous heartbeat.

"Maybe he's not Senior Wu, but someone with a similar appearance?" Shangguan Jin guessed.

But her tone didn't sound too sure.

Gu Xu remained silent.

He took out the copper coin in his pocket again, trying to find the answer through divination.

However, at this moment, the waiter who looked exactly like Senior Wu Danggui delivered the dishes to the guests' tables, then suddenly quickened his pace and hurried towards the backyard of the restaurant.

Gu Xu and Shangguan Jin glanced at each other and followed.

PS: I'm very sorry, the acute gastroenteritis broke out a few days ago, and the symptoms were a bit serious, so I delayed writing until now, making everyone wait for a long time QAQ
