Chapter 1340 Sui Houzhu’s Plot
Chang’an City in the morning was no different from usual.
Everything is covered in darkness, sweeping away invisible as day comes.
As long as you are in a normal order, wanting to hurt someone's life becomes a delusion.
Zhang Xuezhou and others were not afraid of great scholars such as Shen Peigong and directly chose to return to Chang'an City from the city gate entrance. The same was true for Kong Zhong and others.
In front of the city gate, Kong Zhong and others were covered in mud. They had to take off their clothes and shake off the mud at the gate guard before they were allowed to enter the city.
“They are the ones who ran back!”
Yi Yan was almost made to doubt her life by Zhang Xuezhou and Rong Tianding. When she saw Kong Zhong and others, she looked at the ones that were still clean. In the end, she felt that Kong Zhong and other talents seemed to have traveled dozens of miles, while they were too clean.
“I think there are still night horses on the mountains!”
She murmured in a low voice, only hearing Zhang Xuezhou reaching out to say hello warmly.
"Brother An Guo, it's so nice to see you!"
"Brother Dongfang, I'm very happy to see you too. We are about to come to thank you!"
"Thank me. ?”
Zhang Xuezhou is really polite. After all, you can’t turn a blind eye when you meet an acquaintance.
He said hello, and Kong Anguo, who was shaking off his muddy clothes at the city gate, looked happy.
Kong Anguo, who survived the catastrophe, felt satisfied, and it was normal for him to be happy accordingly.
His mentality is indeed different from that of ordinary people. In other words, the mentality of the Kong family is very different. Surviving in any way will make them very happy.
Kong Anguo's face did not have the panic of surviving a catastrophe, but he was truly happy from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou and others queuing up to enter the city, he couldn't help but bow down and thank them.
In short, all their requests to Shen Peigong were over, and no one from the court came to arrest them.
The collapse of the passage also covered up many things.
“Oh ho, you don’t know what happened to us last night,” said Du Wencai, who likes to talk, “I’ll scare you to death if I tell you!” "Ye Siqian said: "This place It's not appropriate to talk, so stop talking nonsense!"
"Brother Ye, you always say not to talk nonsense, but you said what I haven't said yet!"
Du Wencai muttered! He said nothing more.
Several people scraped the mud off their bodies, wrapped their coats and hung them on their bodies, before being allowed into the city by the guards at the city gate.
"Brother Dongfang!"
"Brother Anguo!"
Kong Anguo quickly walked dozens of steps and followed Zhang Xuezhou and others who were waiting in the distance.
“Last time you invited me to breakfast, this time I’ll invite you back,” Zhang Xuezhou extended his hand to invite.
"It's our turn to ask for help," Kong Anguo said.
"Yes, we invite you" Kong Zhong nodded.
“Brother Kong, we have no money,” Du Wencai touched Kong Zhong and reminded him.
"No money, no money... If we don't have money, we have to accept other people's kindness!"
Kong Zhong thought for a few seconds before he choked out these rather shameless words.
But his thinking is not rigid, and he cannot take care of face issues when he is hungry.
He said something abruptly and followed Zhang Xuezhou, who was treating guests to dinner.
Walk along the entrance of Chang'an City for more than 200 meters. Go left to the entrance of the East Market and go to the right to the entrance of the West Market. There are quite a few breakfast shops along the street.
Zhang Xuezhou took the shortcut home and went directly to the West Market, choosing a nearby restaurant that served breakfast.
As long as you spend one and a half taels, you can buy three millet cakes. If you are willing to pay more, you can add minced meat to the millet cakes to eat. There are also millet porridge and other breakfasts. Common things.
Zhang Xuezhou also allowed everyone to eat as they pleased. It was a bit difficult for him to invite a large number of people to have a formal meal in Chang'an City, but there was no problem with the roadside breakfast.
“Thank you so much for lending us the Holy Order!”
When he had breakfast in his hands, Kong Anguo found the small stool next to Zhang Xuezhou, and could not help but whisper his thanks and talk. Reasons to say thank you.
"This is something left by your ancestors" Zhang Xuezhou said speechlessly: "It is a good thing that he blesses you!" "This is the first time I have seen my ancestors" Kong Anguo had endless aftertaste: "The ancestors are indeed He is tall and strong, and even when he is older, he is still very powerful!”
"Your ancestors were indeed very tall!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
He also saw Kong Shengling manifest the Dharma and protect him. After the Dharma was revealed, the other party was a head and a half taller than him, and correspondingly his body was extremely tall and strong.
Zhang Xuezhou stood in front of the other party, just like Yiyan looked petite compared to his height.
He responded, knowing that Kong Anguo and others escaped by relying on Kong Sheng's order to show the Dharma.
"Don't tell me, there are very few people like my ancestors in the world," Kong Anguo said.
"That's necessary!"
"I have only seen the grace of the ancestor in portraits in the past, but I didn't expect to see the projection of a real person's spiritual thoughts." Kong Anguo said: "Then Every move is really full of infinite charm!"
"What is the projection of spiritual thoughts?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.
“That’s the ancestor’s spiritual thoughts put into the treasure, and then injected with great mana, and activated the mana under certain specific conditions.” Kong Anguo thought: “This is actually no different from a triggering mechanism. It’s just a thought. Using spiritual thoughts and magic power to form a mechanism requires extremely strong cultivation and a magic weapon that can carry it. ”
"That's it!"
"We encountered a big danger last night. Our ancestors may have sensed it and showed up to prevent the disaster." Kong Zhong interjected in a low voice: "Shen Peigong said that there was a corpse with overwhelming evil energy and a peerless evil thing. He's about to come out and cause harm to the world!"
"Then your ancestor surrendered to a peerless evil?" Zhang Xuezhou asked curiously.
“Yes, surrendered!”
Kong Zhong nodded repeatedly.
He felt in his pocket and took out an orange-sized black ball.
“This is the evil thing that our ancestors surrendered,” Kong Zhong said: “This is definitely a good treasure. If you are willing to nod and agree, we will use this evil treasure to redeem the holy order!”
"What is the function of this evil thing?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully: "Why do I feel so unlucky? "
"It is definitely not auspicious before surrendering, but it will be auspicious after surrendering," Kong Zhong explained: "Just like a tiger that hurts someone is killed, the tiger bones can be used as medicine. They are all treasures!"
"That seems to make sense, but what is its use?" Zhang Xuezhou said.
"You know, what our ancestors showed up to surrender is definitely not a mortal thing, it must have a great effect," Kong Zhong said.
“We really didn’t find it had any effect at the moment!”
Seeing that Kong Zhong couldn’t explain, Kong Anguo had no choice but to stop his father, who was eager for the treasure, back.
"I have read many classic treasures, but I can't be completely sure now," Kong Anguo said in a low voice: "If it is consistent with my guess, this treasure is indeed not inferior to our family's holy order."< br>
“Oh?”
"This may be the Enlightenment Pearl, or it may be the inner elixir of the peerless great demon. Another possibility is that it is the rumored Sui Hou Pearl, or a treasure similar to the Sui Hou Pearl!"
"I Just understand the second one, what are the other two?”
“The Enlightenment Pearl is what is left after some great cultivators have been burned, and the power of the great cultivators may remain in them. Maybe It inspires people to realize that those who can leave behind the Enlightenment Pearl are all great cultivators who are powerful. Accordingly, the Enlightenment Pearl is extremely rare. "Kong Anguo said: "As for the latter kind, it was a sacrificial object after the Qin Dynasty launched a war. It is rumored that it has The ability to control evil objects is a treasure that those who practice soul control, corpse control and other spells dream of!"
"There is indeed a mystery!"
Zhang Xuezhou's heart moved.
He remembered Jinchang's purpose of coming to Yangling, but he didn't expect to see the pursuit of King Huainan.
"What does the King of Huainan want Sui Houzhu to do?" Zhang Xuezhou wondered in his heart: "Doesn't he want to control the body of Emperor Jing?"
Zhang Xuezhou thought for a few seconds and felt a vague touch. A little bit about the Huainan King’s intention to seek treasure.
The other party may have wanted to trick the new emperor into abdicating the throne by showing his body to him when offering sacrifices to Emperor Jing.
This method is simple but effective, allowing King Huainan to directly obtain the title of Dayi without the permission of the Queen Mother.
But achieving all this requires two prerequisites.
One is that Emperor Jing has turned into a ghost, and the other is that Emperor Jing needs to be able to control the emperor who has turned into a ghost.
If any of the conditions are destroyed, it will be impossible to realize the plan that King Huainan wants.
