Chapter 43 That Night

The ruins of the ancient battlefield, Scarlet Canyon.

Li Xiangyi, Xiao Ye, Lin Wei, and Pei He left after drinking the peach blossom wine.

Xiao Ye continued to stay on this ancient battlefield, practicing martial arts.

Pei He went to the sword tomb.

Lin Wei followed Li Xiangyi and returned to the Tongfu Inn together.

His coffin is still in the inn, under the care of Mr. Xiaoqian.

In the ruins of the battlefield, the sun is always hanging high, and outside the ruins, Linggui Town has passed the middle of the night, and it is approaching dawn, the darkest time of the day.

Due to various accidents, the residents of the small town have long been afraid to go out at night, and the ordinary monks from other villages are also afraid of encountering the blood-hunting team of the Prince of Zhennan, so they hide.

On the street under the darkness of night, there is no pedestrian.

Li Goui and Lin Wei walked in Ping'an Square, leaving behind a series of clear sounds.

When he came near the inn, Lin Wei's expression changed suddenly, and he took out a hard object from his arms.

"Is this a tortoise shell letter?" Li Xiangyi 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 Xiangyi carefully looked at the turtle shell in his hand, and said: "This is indeed a tortoise shell letter. Presumably we killed Yu Hui, prevented Huangfuzhao from continuing to arrest the people in the town, and indirectly protected them. The old turtle gave it to us." return."

"Xiao Ye and Pei He should be there too."

The half-demon boy stared at the turtle shell for a while, then put it away.

Li Zhiyi also took it away.

To be honest, neither he, Lin Wei, Xiao Ye, nor Pei He thought of beheading Yu Hui and Huangfu Zhao in order to win Lao Gui's favor.

Just because Huangfuzhao deserved to die and Yu Hui deserved to be killed, they did it.

This tortoise shell letter was a surprise.

Entering the inn, Mr. Xiaoqian was still asleep, lit the lamp, sat on the window, guarded the black coffin, and waited for the elder brother to come back.

Lin Wei stepped forward, touched her head, and left with the black coffin on her back.

"Brother Lin Wei, walk slowly, I believe you will be able to save the grandfather in the coffin!"

Lin Wei turned her head, the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, as if she was smiling, and she quickly turned and left.

"Little Qian'er, can you perceive the people in the coffin?"

Li Goyan was a little curious.

"Hmm, 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 the whole village. Brother Lin Wei's grandfather also died."

"He was only six years old at the time, and Brother Lin Wei was the bloodline that was awakened that night."

Li Xiangyi recalled the time when he met the half-demon boy for the second time under the abandoned tower.

Mrs. Xiaoqian said that she saw him sitting outside a hut, guarding the black coffin, crying all the time, surrounded by dead people, and the fire appeared in every corner of the village, and the light of the fire lit up most of the night sky.

"Eldest brother, Brother Lin Wei should be able to save Grandpa, right?" Xiao Qianjun asked expectantly.

"His black coffin was made of the Nine Nether Soul Resurrection Wood from the Small Underworld, and he was fed with the blood of demons, so it retained a trace of life. If he can really obtain the Soul-devouring Flower in the western region, it should be able to save his life."

"Eldest brother, the Taiyin mother soil given by the fat Taoist is also from the small underworld. Can it be used together with the Jiuyou Resurrection Wood? Will it help the old man?"

"This, I really haven't thought about it."

"Is that possible?"

"probably."

Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Xiaoqian turned into a blue light and left.

He came back after a while, with a cheerful smile on his small face, obviously sending the Taiyin Mother Earth out.

The little guy is really willing to part with it, the mother soil of the Taiyin is the most nourishing for small grass and trees like her.

Of course, she was willing to give it away, and Li Goyi would never object.

The east was about to dawn, Li Gou simply didn't rest, and continued to read.

As usual, Mr. Xiaoqian turned into a potted plant and stayed by his side.

……

In a courtyard on Guanshui Street in the small town, there were also people who were still awake.

Zhao Tieyi, the eight-star swordsman of the Great Wei Dynasty, is one of the strongest in the town, but his attitude is very respectful at this time.

Opposite him, sat a young man dressed plainly but with a poise.

"Your Highness, Yu Hui is missing, and Huangfuzhao died in the hands of Zhang Yiguan from the Temple of Longevity. This matter will definitely cause a storm?" Zhao Tieyi said.

The young man on the opposite side is also His Highness, but he is not the prince of Zhennan, but the Ninth Prince of Wei.

The big name is Cao Zongkong.

As the first deputy envoy, he went to Xiufeng Mountain to congratulate the newborn Peach Blossom God with the Minister of Rites, Zhao Buyi, and the deputy supervisor of Qin Tianjian.

On the way, he received the news that Taixu Old Turtle was about to wake up and migrate, so he immediately went south in the starry night, arrived in time, and quietly sneaked into the small town.

Except for Zhao Tieyi, no one else knew he was coming.

Seeing the worried look on Zhao Tieyi's face, he asked, "Are you worried that Huangfu Changtian will cause chaos in the country due to the loss of his son?"

"Yes, after all, King Zhennan only has this one son."

"Don't worry, it's not that Huangfu Changtian can't be born again. If one dies, it's good to have a few more. Besides, the matter of the king with different surnames will have to be resolved sooner or later. This kind of important government affairs should be left to the central government officials to plan." , you are a knife holder, you don't need to worry too much."

Zhao Tieyi bowed: "Your Highness has taught you well."

Cao Zhekong smiled and said: "In front of me, you don't have to be so reserved. You and I both came from Zhengfa Academy, so you are still my senior brother."

"Don't dare!"

Seeing him like this, Cao Zukong didn't care.

Zhengfa Academy is a legalist academy located in Xishan, the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Cao Zukong, the Ninth Prince, and Zhao Tieyi, the sword-wielder, are both disciples of the Legalist School.

The court of the Wei Dynasty also emphasized Legalism more than Confucianism.

Therefore, although Hanshan Academy is in the territory of Wei State, its relationship with the Great Wei court and the Cao family is not very close.

Because of its strength, background, and influence in the entire Beizhigezhou, its status is very detached.

"After you entered the town, you did a good job. No matter where the old turtle falls next time, the people in Linggui Town are at least the people of my Great Wei for now. Since the demon master of Dawei Town is here, they should try their best to protect them and not let them go. He was bullied and killed by others."

Cao Zukong spoke again.

Zhao Tieyi replied: "This is my duty."

For this senior brother who also came from Zhengfa Academy, Cao Zukong admired him even more, and said: "After I go back, I will ask Father for credit for you."

"The responsibility lies, and I dare not say credit."

After chatting for a while, Zhao Tieyi said goodbye and left.

When he walked away, Cao Zukong took out a tortoise shell and started playing with it casually.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in white robes walked out of the room.

This young man in white robe has white and tender skin, bright eyes and white teeth, he looks like a girl in disguise.

She walked closer and said, "Ninth Brother, Yu Hui hasn't appeared yet, so he must be dead. Who do you think did it?"

Cao Zhekong said: "Yu Hui is the master of the Nine Realms. Except for Granny Meng, there should be no one in the town who is his opponent. If he is really dead, he must be killed by others."

Granny Meng is their guardian.

The girl asked curiously, "Who would that be?"

"Even if we join forces, not everyone can kill a Nine Realm Grandmaster. In the current town, there are only a few who can do it."

"Who?"

"It's nothing more than Yuguo Xiaoye, Yinhu Peihe, Mingshan Han Xiankong, Cui Shi Cui Youlin, Hanshan Li Goyi, Changshengguan Zhang Yiguan, and that half-demon boy."

"Ninth brother, the fight between Xiao Ye Wenquan and Li Goyi was wonderful and surprising. If it were you, would you be able to win against any of them?"

Thinking back to the boxing match on Luotong Street, Cao Zoukong's eyes also turned strange, and he replied after a few moments: "It's hard to say if you win, but you will definitely not lose."

The girl blinked, feeling in her heart that her brother Ninth was still inferior.

Seeing the tortoise shell that her brother was playing with, she changed the subject and said, "Ninth brother, counting the time, the tortoise shell letter should have appeared almost now, right? Is the final chance also a sign?"

Cao Zhekong looked up at the sky and said: "It should be about the same. According to the precedent, the old turtle of Taixu will leave the people who have not received the letter before completely leaving the world. Maybe in two days, there will be results."

Just as the Ninth Prince said, two days later, the heavenly change reappeared.
