Chapter 239: Monster Race of Unknown Origin
Luocheng, the capital, was the most prosperous city in the Jin Dynasty.
Zhongyuan County has also always been the central hub of the Jin Kingdom. It was so powerful at the beginning of the founding of the country, and it governed the Sifang County in the middle.
However, with the passage of time, Jin has experienced ups and downs.
On the contrary, on this land, it is not the dynasty that has been prosperous for a long time, but the sect family.
The so-called inheritance of iron, the dynasty of flowing water.
This may be the reason why the current empress insists on dragging the three sects into the water and completely controlling this region in her own hands.
Standing in front of the Luohe River, Zhang Ming looked at the pedestrians and boats on the other side, and sighed.
Qingquan bought all kinds of toys and snacks in his hand, leaned over and said with a smile: "Brother, I have inquired, this is the most prosperous place in the whole of Kyoto. The negative picture of the dragon comes out of Luoshui, and the colorful phoenix holds the book in Biyun."
"Here, that's Suzaku Tianjie over there, and the pavilion is Biyun Pavilion. But this Biyun Pavilion can only be entered by dignitaries, nobles, sect aristocrats, etc. The threshold is quite high."
"There is also a very famous restaurant called Tingfenglou. There are no restrictions on three religions and nine streams, and it is also the place with the best information. But, you must not know that the owners of these two restaurants are actually the same."
In a short period of time, he has already found out the situation in Los Angeles, the capital.
I have to say that although Qingquan has many shortcomings, he also has many bright spots.
Zhang Ming asked: "The grand ceremony for offering sacrifices to heaven is held at Liangxian Mountain. Can you find out where it is?"
Qingquan smiled and said: "That's natural. Walking all the way along Zhuquetian Street, you can go straight to the Dajin Palace. Brother, the location of this palace is not simple. It is surrounded by mountains and water. It is said that people live with mountains." "Immortal", the water living in front of the mountain is called "clear", which has a profound meaning."
"Behind the imperial palace is the place where the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens is held. It is called the Mountain of Two Immortals."
"The reason for this name is because the mountain has two majestic peaks, and the second is because it is said that two immortals lived here a long time ago, and then they broke through the sky and ascended to immortality..."
He was eloquent, given him time, he might be able to write a million words.
Zhang Ming quickly reached out to stop him and asked, "Are those two immortals male or female?"
Qingquan was stunned for a moment, and guessed: "It should be a man and a woman... Otherwise, wouldn't it be weird? But it's not sure..."
Now it stumped him.
Qingquan turned around and was about to leave: "Brother, I'll ask again."
Zhang Ming held him back: "No, let's find a place to stay. In two days' time it will be the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, so let's not run around at this time."
Now in Kyoto, strong people gather, and the situation is changing.
When they were walking on the street just now, Zhang Ming had already noticed three strong men in the Yang God Realm, and one who was suspected to be in the Dao Body Realm.
Qingquan twisted his mouth and said: "Okay, there is an inn not far ahead, I will take you there."
He took the lead and walked along the bank of the Luo River.
Zhang Ming followed behind, feeling a little relieved, with this junior brother around, he didn't have to worry about any trivial matters.
After a while, they came downstairs to the inn.
The name of this inn is Fulai, which is very down-to-earth, but the interior is magnificent and beautiful, obviously the grade is not low.
Qingquan plucked at the money twice, gritted his teeth, and asked for a class A room.
However, before they could pay to check in, they heard a shout from the lobby: "Shopkeeper, I'll take care of the master of this building! Don't care about any residents in it, I will drive them all out!"
The shopkeeper who was about to collect the money was taken aback for a moment, and slowly withdrew his hand.
Zhang Ming and Qing Quan couldn't help frowning, turned around and saw a group of dozens of people entering from the door.
The one in front of him was a stout man with bare chest and hair on his chest. He had a rough face and thick muscles, and he was carrying a huge ax behind his back.
After he finished speaking, he threw out a bag and landed on the counter with a bang.
The shopkeeper opened it and saw that it was full of bright gold.
He shook his hands,
There was a smile on his face: "Okay, sir, please come inside!"
The man with the ax back nodded in satisfaction, and said, "These two little girls will also be driven away together."
The position he was looking at was Zhang Ming and Qing Quan.
Qingquan couldn't bear his violent temper on the spot, and said that he could do it, but his words even brought his senior brother into it.
"Big Beard, what do you mean? I was the first to arrive at this inn, and I have already agreed with the shopkeeper to get an A-class room. If you come, grab it if you want, why?!"
He went straight to it.
The number 20 and 30 on the opposite side were a little stunned on the spot.
The man with the ax back laughed loudly: "Interesting, it is said that there are aristocratic sects everywhere in the capital, and the water is very deep. When I saw it today, it was really extraordinary. Little Taoist priest, which Taoist temple do you come from? The Taiyi Immortal Sect, or the Lingshu Temple ?”
The others couldn't help but smile too.
Although they came to Kyoto from outside, they were not at all embarrassed.
Zhang Ming's eyes darkened slightly, and he had already noticed that among the twenty people, there were at least seven people in the Yang God Realm, and there were three others who couldn't see through reality, and were probably in the Dao Body Realm or above the Dao Body Realm.
"How come there are so many strong people in the territory of the Great Jin Dynasty all of a sudden?"
He thought to himself, "Such a group of people is almost as good as the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. Even if they crush Xiaohanshan Temple, it will be easy. Did they come to the capital for the position of national teacher?"
The Qingquan next to him was not happy, and reported to his family: "That's right, the Pindao Qingquan comes from the Lingshu Temple in Zhuoguang Mountain, Dongling County!"
As soon as these words came out, the man with the ax behind was stunned.
A graceful woman with a purple veil came out from the crowd and asked, "Who are you, Lingshu Guanqinghui?"
It seems that they really know the prestige of my Spirit Pivot Temple.
Qingquan puffed out his chest and said, "The Master of Qinghui Temple is Brother Pindao."
He didn't turn his head to look at Zhang Ming, and he had some thoughts in his heart.
This group of people couldn't help but looked at each other, the man with the ax just now asked if the other party came from the Taiyi Immortal Sect, or from the Spiritual Pivot Temple, it was just a casual joke, I didn't expect to meet the iron plate.
"Since they are Taoists of Lingshu Temple, Shicheng, let them have two rooms."
Zisha woman ordered.
Qingquan, who was about to do something, was slightly taken aback, but he didn't expect that the other party would really give Lingshu Guan some face.
This made him feel embarrassed to argue.
Qingquan took a few breaths, bowed and said, "Thank you for this benefactor, one room is enough."
The man with the ax behind him, that is, Shi Cheng, nodded and said, "That will work."
The shopkeeper stood aside, seeing that they had discussed it properly, so the arrangement went on like this.
Zhang Ming did not speak from the beginning to the end, and went upstairs with Qingquan, and entered the A-character room.
"Brother, something is wrong with these people, and the origin may not be simple."
Qingquan set up a soundproof barrier at the door before speaking in a low voice.
Zhang Ming moved his palm slightly, and the book on the ground formed a defensive barrier in the room, isolating any prying eyes, and then said: "Junior brother, you read well. They...are not human."
Qingquan was startled: "What do you mean?"
Immediately, he thought of something, and quickly performed the exercises of the Heavenly Book of the Beast, and suddenly felt scattered energy in the entire inn.
"Fuck! They...they are monsters!"
This shocked Qingquan.
You must know that this is the capital of the Jin Dynasty, and it is the center of the vortex of the game of various forces, and there are countless strong human beings.
However, a group of monsters turned into human beings in a grandiose manner, and stepped into the capital, and the form was completely unrestrained, arrogant and domineering.
Qingquan said calmly: "Brother, their brains...isn't it normal?"
Zhang Ming glanced at him, and said, "This empress has never said that a monster cannot be a national teacher."
Qingquan choked his voice in his throat.
A monster as a national teacher?
Zhang Ming continued: "Since ancient times, although there has been no precedent in the Jin Dynasty, there have been other dynasties that have had this situation."
"Besides, monsters are not necessarily vicious, just like Dahei and Xiaohei, as well as your Xuanxuan and Quanquan. There are also auspicious beasts among monsters, such as unicorns, dragons and phoenixes, etc., which can be used as national teachers , It can also be used as an auspicious beast to suppress the fate of the country."
Qingquan was stunned for a while, and then he was taught: "Senior brother is right. Then what kind of monsters are they?"
Zhang Ming took out a mirror, put it on the table, and said, "This is the demon mirror. You can tell what you are like at a glance."
As he spoke, he waved his hand to drive the mana, urging the light of the demon mirror to overflow in all directions.
The floor of an inn is reflected in the mirror.
I saw weird monsters and ferocious beasts appearing in the inn, but they were all shrunk, otherwise only one of them could break the entire inn.
Qingquan lowered his eyes to distinguish the past: "This is the nine-tailed fox, the ghost toad, the silver-horned yaksha, the red-tailed snake, the emperor bird, the feathered snake... By the way, this is the man with the axe. It turns out that the body is a four-horned ox!"
Zhang Ming glared at him and corrected him, "This is called Yin Yin."
Qingquan groaned, and looked behind: "This is... the ancient beast Xiezhi?"
The Xiezhi in the mirror was crawling on the ground, with its fangs exposed, it was extremely terrifying.
However, this kind of Xiezhi beast is said to have extremely high wisdom and can distinguish between good and evil, loyal and evil, and is even revered as a divine beast by some people.
Zhang Ming remembered that this person was the one who stood beside the Zisha woman in the lobby of the inn, and he was also a strong person in the Yangshen realm that he perceived.
"He should not be a real Xiezhi beast, but has the blood of Xiezhi. Otherwise, he would not be able to transform into a form at all with the Yangshen realm. At least he would be in the Dao body state, or even a higher existence."
As he watched, he speculated.
The higher the bloodline, the harder it is to transform into a monster.
Just like the Bai Yao back in the day, it was because of the ancient Baiyao bloodline that it was difficult to transform after thousands of years.
As for the remnant species of Haechi in front of him, it is obvious that it has a relatively complete method of inheritance and transformation, otherwise it would not be able to realize transformation in the Yangshen Realm.
"Brother, why didn't these three people show their real bodies?"
At this time, Qingquan pointed to three of them and asked, the one in the middle was the Zisha woman.
Zhang Ming said with a serious expression: "They have treasures that conceal their aura. We are not cultivated enough, and the demon mirror that we have activated cannot pass through the cover of this treasure on them."
This also shows that the other party's origin is extraordinary, and his cultivation base is extremely high.
Qingquan shrank his head and murmured: "So powerful...Brother, let's change to another inn?"
His cultivation has just stepped into the Yang God Realm, and he is far from being able to compete with these monsters.
Among other things, let's take that four-horned ox, no, Xie Yin as an example, he is also a remnant of an ancient ferocious beast, and although his cultivation is also at the Yang God level, he can definitely crush three or five clear springs.
Of course, this refers to the situation where Qingquan does not use his treasures.
Zhang Ming shook his head and said, "Since we're here, we'll be safe. If we change the inn suddenly, it will arouse their suspicion. It's better to stay here, and they can just stop trouble for us."
"No matter how the situation in this capital changes, even if someone comes to cause trouble, they have to get past this group of monsters of unknown origin."
Qingquan nodded, bit the bullet and agreed.
"However, senior brother, if you say that there are more powerful monsters in the territory of the Jin Dynasty, it is the land of four demons and three demons. The Ten Thousand Demons Valley has been destroyed by us, and the rest is the Heavenly Demon Court and the Ancestral Demon Cave. I don't know Where are they from?"
He then speculated.
Zhang Ming also agreed and said: "There is no doubt that it must be these two places. But where it comes from, I can't see it yet. Let's wait and see what happens, rest with peace of mind, and wait for the grand ceremony to discuss everything."
The two chatted quietly for a while, but no longer spoke.
"Winter Dongdong."
At this time, there was a waiter knocking on the door and offering food.
Zhang Ming waved his hand to remove the ban on the book from the ground, and opened the door for Xiao Er to put the food on the table.
When Qingquan saw the delicious food in Kyoto, he immediately forgot the worries just now, put his left and right hands into his mouth, and said, "Senior brother, you should eat some too."
At the same time, in room B of the inn.
The young man transformed into Xiezhi asked the Zisha woman puzzledly: "Emperor, the Spirit Pivot has wiped out the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. We are both demon clans. It is unreasonable not to avenge her. How can you be polite to her?" Qi, wouldn't it weaken the prestige of my monster clan?"
The Zisha woman was sitting in the room, with an old woman and a maid standing on the left and right.
She didn't reply directly, but glanced at the old woman beside her, and asked, "Aunt Rong, is there anything unusual?"
The old woman opened her eyes from the closed state, looked in the direction of the A-character room, and replied: "After the two Taoist priests entered the room, there was no sound, there should be nothing unusual."
The Zisha girl nodded, and said to the young man of Xiezhi: "Tan Wu, we have important things to do here, so there is no need to cause trouble. After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, if the matter is successful, we will not be too late to deal with Lingshu Guan .”
The young man named Tan Wu hurriedly cupped his hands: "What the emperor taught is true."
Only then did Zisha girl look at the maid beside her, and ordered: "Qiaoyun, go and call Shicheng in."
The servant girl responded, pushed the door away, and soon led the man with the ax into the door.
It's just that at this moment, his face was calm, without the slightest recklessness before, and he asked respectfully: "Emperor, do you have any orders?"
The Zisha girl said seriously: "Shicheng, you have always acted prudently, and together with Tan Wu, you are the most trusted by the emperor. This trip to Kyoto is extremely important to our monster clan, but there are many dangers, and you need to draw everyone's attention outside. .”
"Tonight, Aunt Rong, Qiao Yun and I will leave quietly. I will leave it to you and Tan Wu to take charge of the overall situation here, and everything will go according to plan."
Shi Cheng and Tan Wu hurriedly cupped their hands and said, "Don't worry, the emperor."
"It doesn't matter if they... are Lingshu temples. Shicheng, you live here, and you can use their reputation to avoid some troubles."
The Zisha woman instructed again, "It's okay to act arrogantly these two days, the most important thing is to let these sects, aristocratic families, and the empress who sits on the throne think that our monster clan only came to you a group of 'rabble' .”
Several people quickly agreed on the plan for this trip.
Qiao Yun, who looked like a maid, packed her bags and prepared to evacuate with Miss Zisha and Aunt Rong, acting in secret.
Shi Cheng, Tan Wu and others outside were just covering.
However, at this moment, the Zisha woman paused suddenly and asked, "Aunt Rong, did you just say that there was no movement in the A-character room?"
Aunt Rong condensed slightly, and replied: "Not bad."
Ordinary people entered the room, how could there be no sound at all?
The Zisha woman couldn't help the corners of her eyes twitching, and she murmured: "Shicheng, Tan Wu, I'm afraid you may have encountered a hard problem..."
