Lord of the Tricks

Chapter 57

The stage horse is a unique monster in Dali.

The flame dragon horse unique to Dali is treated like a soldier after death, and there is a specific burial place.

A special area was set aside in Dali as a cemetery for those war horses who served meritorious service. At the beginning, this was one of the measures to appease the aliens in the territory.

Unexpectedly, after a long period of time, a spirit was conceived in the bones of the flaming dragon horse. Although this spirit has no combat power and is terribly weak, it can travel three thousand miles a day and six thousand miles at night as long as it is an adult.

Later, they were included in the legal code, naturalized as Daion citizens, and some were sealed off as official posts. They were full-time post envoys, and they would send post horses to deliver letters when there was important urgent news.

These spirits have a high status, and killing a posthorse is equivalent to killing an official. If you kill the posthorse delivering an urgent letter and are tracked down, it is a great crime for the Yi tribe to start.

In addition, these spirits, apart from love to eat, have no intentions, and everyone is very tolerant of them.

The same is true for Uncle Fu, who has long been used to the post-horse officer's manner.

The more thoughtful, seen a lot, and tired of life, the more he likes this kind of careless and not annoying guy.

Otherwise, he would not be so generous.

After Fu Bo finished sorting the letters, the posthorse stretched out his hand to grab the letters, and the thick letters shrank rapidly, and he put them into his sleeves.

He flickered and disappeared instantly.

After leaving Uncle Fu's room, the post-horse suddenly sniffed his nose, followed the vaguely familiar smell, and came to Yu Ziqing's room, looked through the crack of the door, and immediately widened his eyes.

He saw that Yu Ziqing was holding a big wooden bowl in his hand, and was pouring rain for his pity, a jade bottle full of rain!

He has been following the East Palace of Dali. He has seen this thing before and knows it. It is a treasure for the East Palace and the bosses of Lihuoyuan. Put a curse on anyone who knows.

He doesn't know what it is, but he remembers the smell of this thing, it must be very delicious, even if he refuses to eat it, this thing will definitely give him many, many things he likes in exchange.

I never thought that this kind of treasure, which is counted drop by drop, turned out to be a whole bowl now.

After taking a look, the stagecoach officer refrained from the idea of ​​getting close, but the task was still important.

Calculating the time, as he is the best among the stage horses, he should be able to go back and forth in three or four days, no, within three days and two hours, he must be able to go back and forth.

After such a calculation, the post-horse officer immediately disappeared in place, turned into a phantom, and ran towards Da Li at high speed.

Yu Ziqing felt a sense in his heart, and looked outside the door, but couldn't sense anything.

"Sweetie, did you sense something?"

"No, master, you need me..."

"No need, we're in someone else's territory, it's rude to open up your exploration area."

Yu Ziqing glanced outside the door, he didn't think it was his own illusion, someone must have glanced at him through the crack of the door just now.

He took into account both the refining of the gods and the refining of the body, his body was extremely sensitive, his inspiration was high enough, and his soul was about to manifest. It was impossible for him to have such an illusion, but he didn't feel threatened.

After thinking for a while, Yu Ziqing took out some things and made some simple manual traps without using any other power to prevent being sensed.

The next day, Uncle Fu disappeared, and it was the shopkeeper here who was entertaining Yu Ziqing and his party.

After dinner, Su Li and Yu Ziqing were drinking tea in the backyard, and Yu Ziqing asked.

"Now do you understand why I brought you here?"

"Understood." Su Li put down his teacup and said in a deep voice.

"This revitalization firm is not well-known in Dali, and it mainly does foreign business, and the Gu family is not a well-known big family in Dali.

I once took a look at the information of the Gu family. The strength of this family is only the second echelon in Dali. They are low-key and naturally have no reputation. At that time, I was able to see the information because of Fu Bo, a seventh-level monk.

There are very few masters in the Hollow Realm who are willing to let go of their status and become housekeepers in a second-rate family even if they have problems in their cultivation and have no hope of advancing, even if the Patriarch of the Gu family has been kind to him.

From the looks of it now, the Gu family might not be that simple anymore. "

"You don't blame me for taking the initiative." Yu Ziqing smiled and poured a cup of tea for Su Li: "I can see that you are in a difficult mood and don't know what to choose, so I will give you a push. You should I also know that it is impossible to act as if nothing happened, and you don’t want to leave the Shadow Division where you grew up, so that’s the only way to go.”

"I understand. In fact, I want to thank Brother Qing in person today." Su Li cupped his hands.

Yesterday, he could see that there must be someone of high status behind Uncle Fu.

From the conversation, he guessed that Yu Ziqing and his party came from the forbidden area of ​​Jinlan Mountain, not some remote mountain village.

He has been in the Shadow Division for so many years, and after thinking about it again, he still doesn't understand that the people behind Fu Bo have a higher status than he thought.

Coupled with the news that the imperial court suddenly began to spare no expense in disaster relief...

With all kinds of clues piled up, he understood that Jinlanshan Forbidden Area had already begun to contact the imperial court.

And bypassing the contact of the Shadow Department, he was certain that it must not be Emperor Li, but the one from the East Palace.

Yu Ziqing found a way out for him.

At first glance, the connection with the East Palace seems to be a taboo within the Shadow Division, but it depends on the situation. The status of the East Palace can be said to be stable, and it is short of being enthroned on the spot.

As long as there is no direct contact and it makes sense on face, no one will say anything.

Even if the people in the Shadow Division who wanted him dead before knew about it, they would not dare to lay hands on him again.

Otherwise, it would be making yourself uncomfortable and leaving your name on the blacklist of the future new emperor.

His life, Su Li, definitely couldn't pay the price.

Under such circumstances, if he didn't hide or cover up, he said that he was intercepted and killed by the people on the seventh floor. After returning, his life was not in danger, and there was a high probability that he would be promoted.

He knew that the favor he owed was getting bigger and bigger.

But it doesn't matter, I keep in mind that he and Yu Ziqing's enemies are the same thing, and he will track down the traitor of the Shadow Division and kill him if he doesn't owe favors.

He also wanted to help go back as much as possible, so these days, without going back to the Shadow Department, he has been busy with Yu Ziqing's private affairs, helping Yu Ziqing track down a lot of extremely complicated information, all related to mortals.

To be honest, it is quite troublesome, there are many places to go, although the danger is low, it is more troublesome than investigating Baiyang Xiesi.

He didn't understand why, and he never asked. Yu Ziqing wanted it, so he did it.

……

The morale of Baiyang Xiesi has been a little low recently.

Witnessing the backlash against the Holy Mother of the White Sun, the innate charm dissipated and turned into a monster covered in pustules, it was surprising that the congregation didn't react at all.

The recovery of Baiyang Virgin's injury was very slow, and the injury caused by the ominous incense, even if he performed kung fu on the spot, it was not so easy to recover.

The new incense power that is constantly being collected now is used to erase the ominous atmosphere entrenched in the wound. Although it will seriously hinder the cultivation base, at least the person is not dead and can be recovered.

This time the birth is not considered a failure, and it is not the worst one either.

Nearly ten thousand years ago, when he was born on the other side of the sea, he offended a ruthless person at that time.

The descendant body chosen by his disciples for him is a ruthless grandson of Yun, who has inherited his talent from generation to generation. When he met a Yunsun with the same talent, his precious Yunsun had already become the Virgin of the White Sun.

The Madonna of the White Sun of that generation was tortured alive for 80 years before she died physically.

And his soul was also pulled out to light the sky lantern.

That ruthless man has studied and tortured him for more than 100 years, and after he is convinced that he is not an ordinary snatcher at all, the real torture has just begun.

This ruthless man, who was in charge of the Baiyang evil priest at that time, would pull down the Baiyang Virgin to come down again at the fastest speed every time.

Then repeat the initial torture, all kinds of torture, want to torture him to find out what he is, but if he can't be tortured, he will do his own research.

Such repetitions tortured him for a full five lifetimes. His true spirit and his consciousness could hardly bear it anymore. When the memories of his previous incarnations began to dissipate in large numbers, this torture finally ended.

Because that ruthless person wasted too much time on him, he couldn't survive the disaster when he advanced, and fell.

Since then, the Holy Mother of Baiyang hastily destroyed everything there with her own hands, cut off all connections, spent a lifetime, destroyed all kinds of records left by the ruthless people, and then traveled across the ocean, narrowly escaped death, and came to the foot this continent.

From then on, it started to stir up wind and rain here.

Here, finally, no outsider has discovered his secret, because now, every time he comes into the world, his body is the most ordinary mortal, and the people here have never paid attention to those mortals.

But there are also disadvantages here, the number of strong people is a bit too much, there are three great gods, and now even the hungry ghosts have come out, the water on the hungry ghost side seems to be deeper...

He was thinking, should he change his strategy? Many failures have already made him understand that here, he will go smoothly in the early stage, but the closer he is to success and the stronger his strength, the closer he is to failure and death. near.

……

A few days later, while Yu Ziqing was practicing, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the window.

One of the little traps he made was activated.

A little man three inches tall stood stiffly on the table by the window.

Outside the window, Wu Shuangge was holding the Gong barrel with the lid opened, and the black and yellowish smoke entrenched in the Gong barrel was extremely dangerous at first glance.

On the top of the villain's head, there is still a sack with words written on it.

"This is a pack of poison that can poison the entire city. There is no material for the antidote."

As long as he moved, the sack seemed to fall down.

The post-horse officer sniffed it and knew that it must be poison if it was unpalatable.

And with his speed, it seemed that he couldn't run out of the city before the sack fell. He didn't dare to bet on whether the poison would spread to the whole city in an instant. After thinking about it, he didn't have to run.

Yu Ziqing looked at the villain with curiosity.

"You were the one who peeped through the crack of the door that day, right?"
