That night.
Qin Yao and Jiang Shang were sitting in front of the gate in the backyard of the Gua Guan, drinking and chatting.
In the courtyard, Tai Bing wielded the double ice hammers with great power and awe-inspiring momentum.
“What a martial arts!”
At this moment, a shout of praise suddenly sounded at the entrance to the backyard. Tai Bing stopped instantly and followed the sound, only to see a scribe and a military general coming hand in hand. .
He had never seen the scribe, but he was familiar with the general. He had met him once in front of the palace.
"The young hero's martial arts skills are amazing. If he were placed in the army, he would be unworthy of all men." The general stared at Tai Bing and said again.
The love for talent is beyond words.
"Who are you two?"
As Tai Bing retreated silently, Jiang Ziya, as the master, took the initiative to greet him, holding his hands and asking.
Wearing a black hair crown, with round eyes, thick eyebrows, broad nose and long beard, the scribe with a majestic face replied: "I am serving as a minister of Asia. Next to me is Huang Feihu, the Wucheng King of Zhenguo."
"It turns out it's the noble man in person." Jiang Ziya said politely: "We can't greet you from afar, so I hope you can forgive me."
Bigan waved his hand and said "We came without telling you, so how can we blame you for not coming far to greet us?"
Huang Feihu pursed his lips and whispered: "Prime Minister, stop being polite and get down to business."
Jiang Ziya vaguely guessed the purpose of the other party's visit, but still asked: "May I ask Prime Minister, why are you here?"
Bigan looked serious and held out three fingers silently: "I have three questions. The first question is, is the rumor that you killed the Pipa Fairy true? The second question is, is the current beloved concubine Daji a demon? The third question is. Ask, if the answer to the second question is yes, are you capable of getting rid of the demon?"
Jiang Ziya subconsciously turned to look at Qin Yao, who nodded silently.
“We killed the Pipa Fairy. Daji is a demon. As for the last question...” Jiang Ziya said: “Because the King is protected by the aura of a human king, we alone cannot kill this fairy.”
Bi Gansheng had an exquisite heart, and he immediately heard the implication of his words: "What if we are added to the list?"
Qin Yao interjected: "Can you tell me the reason why you are here today?"
Bigan looked bitter and said: "When Daji entered the palace, Queen Jiang rebelled inexplicably, causing Yinjiao Yinhong to be removed from the throne by the king.
Prime Minister Shang Rong wanted to investigate the truth, but was forced to do so by Daji
The doctor Zhao Qi died just because he wanted to. After collecting the Prime Minister's body, Daji declared him an accomplice and burned him to death.
Nowadays, everyone in the civil and military dynasties is trembling with fear. Daji's evil reputation will make all officials tremble.
If this continues. , I’m afraid the Yin Shang..."
Qin Yao suddenly realized, and then asked curiously: "Daji has such a bad reputation, aren't you two afraid?"
Bigan said solemnly: "I, the thirty kings of the Yin and Shang Dynasties have built the foundation , greater than anything else!"
"The Prime Minister's loyalty is so admirable."
Jiang Ziya opened his mouth, reached into his sleeve, took out a three-foot wooden sword, and handed it to the other party: " this It is a walnut sword given by the Heavenly Lord. As long as it is hung on the tall building where Daji goes in and out, within three days, the monster will be exposed and will die."
Bigan reached out and took the walnut sword. Sword, turned to look at Huang Feihu: "The place where Daji usually goes in and out is the branch palace building, but I don't have the ability to hang this sword on the branch palace building. Does King Wu Cheng dare to do such a stupid thing?"
Huang Feihu stretched out his big hand and said resolutely: "For the sake of Yin Shang She Ji, I have no obligation to refuse."
"Please accept my bow." Bigan bowed deeply and raised his walnut sword with both hands.
Huang Feihu accepted it calmly, then grabbed the wooden sword and was ready to lose his head.
Watching their actions, Qin Yao silently thought in his heart: In the original work, when the walnut sword severely injured Daji, it was Shen Gongbao who appeared and forced Jiang Ziya to take off the wooden sword.
Nowadays, I will definitely not do such a stupid thing and take sides blindly. So in what direction will the plot develop?
Of course, the possibility of killing Daji with a walnut sword did not exist in his mind.
After all, Daji is not a small character, but the incarnation of Nuwa's will. If he died so easily, he would be looking down on Nuwa...
And I can learn from this plot What do you get out of it?
Late night.
Huang Feihu, holding a walnut wooden sword, quietly sneaked into the sub-palace building. He successfully hid the wooden sword on the roof of the building and immediately disappeared into the darkness.
Early the next morning, as usual, Daji led a group of maids to pass by the palace building. Unexpectedly, a beam of red light suddenly shot out from the roof of the building, hitting her in the back of her heart.
The severe pain caused Daji to scream and fall directly to the ground. Her breath suddenly became sluggish, her face was like gold paper, and her breathing was disordered.
After receiving the news, Di Xin rushed to Daji's room. Looking at his dying concubine, he felt like an angry lion and released a terrifying aura: "Who hurt my concubine? The king asks you , Who hurt my beloved concubine?!"
Under his furious questioning, Zhan Juan, who was accompanying the princess, was so frightened that she almost fell out of control and knelt down quickly. Feeling better.
“Your Majesty, save me.”
Daji endured her weakness and held Di Xin's hand. The pitiful look made the latter feel heartbroken.
"Don't worry, my beloved, the lonely king will tell the world right now and search for famous doctors to come and treat you." Di Xin squeezed Daji's hand hard and strode away.
Looking at the stalwart figure of his leaving, Daji suddenly felt something strange in her heart.
No one has ever cared so much about me.
Do you really want to destroy such a person?
"Huh..."
After Di Xin left, Zhanjuan breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and said, "Empress, are you okay?"
Da Ji said: "Why? Will it be okay? I feel like I’m about to die. The problem is in the branch palace, Zhanjuan, go and have a look.”
Zhan Juan hurriedly walked out of the palace. As soon as she arrived in front of the branch palace building, a chill quickly filled her body. She was so frightened that she did not dare to go any further. She ordered to the chamberlain who was following behind her: "Go search the building, search carefully, and see if there are any changes."
After half a stick of incense.
A chamberlain ran back, knelt down and kowtowed: "Sir, there is an extra wooden sword in the eaves of the branch palace building. We tried, but we couldn't take out the sword."
Zhan Juan suddenly turned around. In the palace, he told Daji, who looked like he was dying.
"If you can't take it off, don't take it. Go and burn that part of the palace." Daji ordered.
Zhan Juan took the order again, but only half an hour later, she hurried back again and said in frustration: "My Lady, that wooden sword is protecting the branch palace building, and the flames are not burning at all. Don’t get up.”
Daji felt that she was about to drown in the deep sea, and said feebly: "Go to Xuanyuan Tomb and ask Mrs. Fox King to come and save me. Go quickly. You must come before tomorrow morning. Hurry, hurry!"
As she spoke, she raised her right hand with all her strength, touched Zhanjuan's eyebrows with one finger, and told her the true location of Xuanyuan Tomb through initiation.
Zhanjuan did not dare to hesitate, and immediately flew out of the skin, taking advantage of the night to rush into the sky.
However, she was in a hurry and didn't realize that, higher up in the sky, a pair of eyes hidden in the dark clouds locked onto her body the moment she flew out of the palace.
Fifth watch.
After trying her best, Zhanjuan finally came to a terrifying tomb forest, floating above the stone monuments, and shouted in a piercing voice: "The Fox King's grandma..."
This sound echoed in the eerie tomb forest, awakening too many dark creatures.
In the grave, the wild ghost opens his eyes.
In the cave, the fox turned his eyes.
Soon after, wild ghosts and foxes gathered from all directions. Even though Zhan Juan was a fierce ghost herself, she seemed weak, helpless and trembling under such siege.
"Who are you?" Fortunately, these fox ghosts did not launch an attack. Instead, they suddenly made way for an old lady who looked like a fairy and was incompatible with the gloomy environment here. Walking in with a cane.
Zhanjuan immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "I am Zhanjuan, the little ghost under the throne of Empress Daji. On the order of empress Daji, I came here to beg my grandma to come out and rescue empress."
"Daji...it's Xiaojiu."
Tai Nai, the Fox King, murmured in a soft tone: "What trouble did Xiaojiu encounter?"
"Suddenly there was a wooden sword upstairs in the branch palace in the palace. Madam, He was injured by that wooden sword and is in danger," Zhanjuan said.
The lonely queen squinted her eyes and suddenly looked up at the sky: "What does that person in the dark clouds above have to do with you?"
"What?" Zhan Juan looked confused.
"It seems it has nothing to do with it." Fox King Tai Nai said softly: "Trash, you don't even know you are being followed."
Zhan Juan: "..."
In the dark clouds, listening to the conversation between them, Qin Yao took the initiative to come out and said: "Kunlun Golden Immortal Shen Gongbao, pays homage to the Fox King."
"You all stand down," the Fox King said calmly.
The fox ghosts retreated one after another and disappeared into the cemetery one after another.
In the end, there was only a kind-hearted old lady, a fierce ghost, and Qin Yao who came slowly on this empty ground.
“Let’s drink a glass of water.”
When Qin Yao came to them, the Queen Mother Fox waved her hand, and a table and two cups suddenly appeared in front of them.
"I'm too timid to drink the water here." Qin Yao said with a smile.
The Fox King's grandma chuckled: "If you are timid, you won't dare to come down."
Qin Yao did not answer the question and looked around: "It turns out that Xuanyuan Tomb is really a tomb. I thought it was just the name It's just a grave."
The Queen of the Fox also didn't answer, and asked: "Did you put the wooden sword in the palace?"
Qin Yao shook his head: "No, it has nothing to do with me. .”
The fox king's wife's intuition told her that the other party was not lying, so she became curious: "If it had nothing to do with you, why would you follow this kid here?"
Qin Yao muttered: "The main reason is to see. Let's see what kind of reinforcements Daji will ask for..."
"Now that I see it, what next?" said the Fox King.
Qin Yao smiled slightly: "Maybe... we have some room for cooperation."
Fox King Tai Nai said in surprise: "Cooperation? Are you kidding me! You are the Kunlun Golden Immortal , given to you by Yuanshi Tianzun The mission is to select sages, support Yin Zhou, make Emperor Xin correct his evil ways, and help the country. However, the mission given to us by Nuwa Xuanyuan Tomb is to confuse Emperor Xin and subvert the country. In essence, we are opposites. "
Qin Yao waved his hand and said: "I am not an extension of Tianzun's will, Jiang Ziya is."
The Fox King's grandma was thoughtful and said with a smile: "Interesting."
Qin Yao followed and smiled: "I am a demon in my true form."
"Are you going to join the Wa Palace?" asked the Fox King Tai Nai directly.
Qin Yao shook his head: "No, I just made it clear that I am not a dog to teach. In fact, I don't want to be anyone's dog."
"You are treasonous and unethical." The fox king said: "If I reveal your words to Chanjiao..."
Qin Yao smiled slightly: "I will make them think that this is a very crude divorce plan. ”
Fox King Tai Nai Jing After a moment of silence, he asked: "How do you want to cooperate?"
Qin Yao said: "I will keep you safe, and you will cooperate with me if conditions permit."
" Hahahaha.”
The Fox King's grandma couldn't help laughing and said: "How ridiculous, I need you to keep me safe?"
Qin Yao's face did not change and he asked: "Can you beat the Antarctic Immortal?" ?”
Fox King Tai Nai’s smile froze.
Compared to her and the Antarctic Immortal, this joke seems to be even bigger.
"Recently, Jiang Ziya was in danger, and the Antarctic Immortal appeared in person to help." Qin Yao said: "Not long ago, Guangchengzi and Chi Jingjing appeared together and took in two Yin Shang princes, Yin Jiao and Yin Hong. ”
The Queen of the Fox King: "..."
Qin Yao looked into her eyes: "King Fox, do you understand what this means?"
The Queen of the Fox King: "You give it to me Tell me?”
Qin Yao said: "This is not a secret fight between Yuxu Palace and Wa Palace. This is a murderous robbery with the gods as the core. Anyone can die, even the Twelve Golden Immortals of Kunlun. Fox King, you are better than the Twelve Golden Immortals More noble?”
The Fox King was silent.
"None of us want to betray our own camp." Qin Yao added: "As ants, we are just trying to survive this catastrophe."
"I still don't quite understand what killing catastrophe is. "Fox King Tai Nai said.
Qin Yao explained: "To put it simply, Heaven needs a group of thugs, so the three religions jointly signed a list of gods, with the core of supporting Yin Shang and destroying Yin Shang, and started a war against the world's Qi refiners. In the great calamity, whoever dies will be the thug, or in other words, the one in heaven. Dog.
It’s not simple... it’s too complicated. There are calculations by the saints, calculations by the heavens, and calculations by the disciples of the Holy Cult.”
Tai Nai, the Fox King, was silent for a long time. Said: "What do you want me to do?"
Qin Yao said: "I don't restrict you from saving Daji, or even helping Daji. After all, everyone has their own master. But there is a bottom line. You can deal with Bigan and Huang Feihu, but you can't kill them. It's best to injure them hard and kill them." If you don't die, I have a use."
Fox King Tai Nai: "Who are Bigan and Huang Feihu?"
"You will find out when you get to Chaoge." Qin Yao turned around and said. .
"Wait a minute." Seeing that he was about to leave, the Fox King suddenly spoke.
Qin Yao paused, turned around and said, "Is there anything else?"
The Queen Mother Fox chuckled lightly, and stabbed the cane straight ahead without any warning.
In an instant, a sharp white sword energy rushed out, causing the wind and thunder to move, the stars and the moon to lose their color, the void to tremble, and the loud noise to roar.
Qin Yao spread his legs, moved his center of gravity downwards, raised his right hand, and placed the sword finger between his eyebrows. The Zhuxian Sword in his soul flew out and collided with the white sword energy in mid-air.
"Boom!"
With an earth-shattering explosion, the Zhuxian Sword tore through the sword energy. With terrifying power, it broke the cane in the middle and pierced the Fox King's eyebrows.
Just when this divine sword was about to penetrate the Fox King's head, Qin Yao suddenly found himself locked by an extremely terrifying aura. This terrifying aura made him suddenly stop the Killing Immortal Sword.
At this time, the tip of Senhan's sword was less than an inch away from the fox king's grandma's eyebrows.
When the Zhuxian Sword stopped, the terrifying aura disappeared, as if it had never appeared from the beginning to the end, but it deeply shocked Qin Yao.
He felt that if the other party wanted to take action, he would never be able to run away.
You can’t escape even if you have a system!
"As expected of the Kunlun Golden Immortal, I have given up." Mrs. Fox King said with lingering fear.
She knew that if it hadn't been for Emperor Wa's protection, she would have been in danger just now.
Qin Yao exhaled a breath and raised his hand to take back the Zhuxian Sword: "Don't forget the agreement between us, see you later!" (End of this chapter)
