Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 151 "Brother and Brother Gong"

"Green Luan" Du Jingjing's fundamental purpose of entering the Laoshan ruins was not to seize the inheritance of the immortals.

She knew very well that it would be unrealistic to compete with evildoers like Su Xiao, Chen Yanping, and Gu Xu for inheritance by virtue of her talent in cultivation.

Her goal is only one -

That is to kill Xiao Shangzhen and complete the task entrusted to her by the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan.

It can be said that the fierceness of the competition between the princes of the Daqi Dynasty for the Tai'a sword was in full swing.

Although Emperor Daqi once ordered that the princes should not kill each other.

But this can only guarantee that they are brothers and sisters on the bright side.

In private, in order to fight for the succession to the throne, they can be said to be exhausted.

Not long ago, after the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan returned from Yishan, he recruited Du Jingjing's teacher, Tao Qian, a guest of the Qingzhou Prefecture, with extremely favorable conditions.

Naturally, Du Jingjing also followed her teacher and joined the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan.

Although Xiao Shangyuan is much older than Xiao Shangzhen, and his cultivation base is also much higher than Xiao Shangzhen.

But deep down in Xiao Shangyuan's heart, he was full of fear of his young and ignorant brother.

On the one hand, when Xiao Shangzhen used the "Tianyan Stone" to test his cultivation qualifications, he had detected the third-grade vision "moon surging river flow"; but Xiao Shangyuan himself only detected the fourth-grade vision "Grass Oriole".

On the other hand, Xiao Shangzhen's mother is Chen Anzhi, the contemporary empress and the daughter of the Chen family in Xiangyang; but Xiao Shangyuan's mother was an ordinary court lady with a humble background—even after giving birth to the prince, she was only canonized as "Zhuang Zhuang". Concubine", did not get more holy family.

In addition, the fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen also has a scheming sister who is in charge of the secular government.

This means that even if Xiao Shangzhen can only focus on cultivation and do nothing else, he will still have a group of loyal supporters.

But like the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan, he can only rely on deceit and temptation to build his own team.

It can be said that the two princes are far apart in terms of innate conditions.

Although Xiao Shangzhen is not interested in the succession to the throne, she just wants to sneak out and play, and for this reason she has to fight with Princess Zhaoning all day...

But what if he suddenly becomes enlightened in the future?
Therefore, in the eyes of the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan, only the dead are truly non-threatening.

However, it is not realistic to kill a prince within the scope of the Daqi Dynasty.

the reason is simple.

There are many monks who master divination and heavenly secrets in Daqi Palace.

In addition, Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcist Department, also claims to have insight into everything in the world.

Xiao Shangyuan must not be able to hide the fact that he killed his younger brother.

But the Laoshan ruins are different.

Xiao Shangyuan knew that the restrictions placed on Laoshan before the ascension of the Kongxuan Sanren could shield the heavenly secrets.

It can block all communication between the ruins and the outside world.

Even the chief Luo of the Exorcism Department couldn't see what happened in the ruins.

At the same time, Xiao Shangyuan happened to know that Du Jingjing, Tao Qian's student, was a member of the "Shenji Battalion" reserve and was about to go to Laoshan with his younger brother Xiao Shangzhen to search for the inheritance left by the immortal.

Xiao Shangyuan was overjoyed immediately.

He understood that the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had finally come.

If the fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen died in the Laoshan ruins, as long as all the evidence related to him was erased, the world would never know who the real murderer was.

At that time, he can completely say "it's all because of the terrible restriction in the fairy cave that caused my brother to die", and then go to his brother's mourning hall to watch for a few nights and shed a few tears in hypocrisy.

People in the world might think that the two brothers have deep feelings for each other!

…………

Laoshan Relics, Gathering in Xiantai.

"Qingluan" Du Jingjing stood behind the fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen, holding a gleaming dagger in his hand, and pressed it against his neck.At this time, on her face, there was no longer the timidity of the past, but she became calm and calm.

She came prepared today.

Her teacher Tao Qian had been kind to her, and she could not let the teacher down no matter what.

And she also understood that when Tao Qian joined Xiao Shangyuan's camp, there would be no way out for the two of them, master and apprentice.

So since receiving the mission of the eldest son of the emperor, Du Jingjing has been preparing for this moment day and night.

Xiao Shangyuan once told her personally: "The climbing stairs in the Laoshan ruins do not really exist, but are created by the illusion of causality and Taoism left by Kongxuan Sanren.

"At the fork in the mountain road, no matter what choice you make, it doesn't really matter.

"As long as there is a causal connection between two people, they will definitely meet on the way up the mountain."

At that time, Du Jingjing felt a little confused, she lowered her head and said, "But I'm not familiar with Fourth Highness..."

Xiao Shangyuan chuckled: "Since the moment you decided to assassinate him, there has been a causal relationship between you and him."

Du Jingjing nodded, expressing that she was educated.

And as a monk thirsty for knowledge, she couldn't help asking bluntly: "But, Your Highness, you have never been to the Laoshan ruins, how can you know the situation there?"

Xiao Shangyuan replied in a natural tone: "Because my father had dealt with Kongxuan Sanren before."

Therefore, when Du Jingjing entered the Laoshan ruins and saw the words carved on the boulder similar to "everything is destined to happen, it is all fate", she knew that what Xiao Shangyuan said was right.

Whether you meet or not on the way to the mountain is a cause and effect.

Therefore, every time she made a choice at the fork, she did not hesitate at all.

In addition, in order for her to complete the task smoothly, Xiao Shangyuan also specially prepared "San Gong Xiang" for her-as long as monks below the third level smell the "San Gong Xiang", their true essence will freeze in the air. Among the meridians, it cannot function normally.

As for Du Jingjing herself, because she took the antidote in advance, she was not affected by the "San Gong Fragrance".

She ignored the threats from the fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen.

Because she knew that the duration of "San Gong Fragrance" was limited, and she had to make a quick decision, and she couldn't tolerate nonsense with this brat.

So, she concentrated her true energy on the dagger in her hand, and stabbed fiercely towards Xiao Shangzhen's throat.

Xiao Shangzhen was already stunned by fright, her mind went blank, and she didn't have time to resist at all.

But in the next second, an accident happened.

The dagger did not cut Xiao Shangzhen's throat.

Instead, it seemed to slam into a solid wall.

The real essence poured back instantly, causing Du Jingjing's arm to twitch slightly.

But Xiao Shangzhen's throat was safe and sound, without leaving any traces.

However, a dark green bracelet on Xiao Shangzhen's wrist suddenly broke into pieces.

"Stand-In Bracelet"!
Du Jingjing immediately recognized the name of this magic weapon.

It can resist a fatal attack from the outside world for the owner, and at the same time, it can remove all negative effects and controls on the owner.

Du Jingjing had expected this in her heart.

Xiao Shangzhen, as the majestic prince of Qi, and a thoughtful elder sister, even if he took away his luggage, how could he not have other life-saving magic weapons?

At the same time, after the "stand-in bracelet" was shattered, the true energy on Xiao Shangzhen's body also returned to normal operation.

At this time, with lingering fear in his heart, he covered his mouth and nose with his hands, turned around and ran away along the road he came from.

After meeting this terrible woman, he now has no idea about the inheritance of Kongxuan Sanren, and even temporarily forgot about his luggage full of magic weapons and talismans.

He just wanted to run out of the ruins as quickly as possible, find Shi Lei who was waiting at the foot of the mountain, and ask him to send him back to Luojing City, and to his sister, Princess Zhaoning.

He believed that his resourceful sister would definitely protect him and make this daring assassin pay the price.

…………

However, in Du Jingjing's assassination plan, the "substitute bracelet" was just a trivial accident.

In order to ensure that she can kill the target [-]%, besides "San Gong Xiang", she also made many other preparations.

So, seeing Xiao Shangzhen running away in embarrassment, she immediately took out a stack of talismans from her pocket and threw them towards Xiao Shangzhen.

This is the "Bound Body Talisman".

In an instant, these talisman papers burst into dazzling light, and then turned into ropes one after another, instantly binding Xiao Shangzhen with five flowers.

Xiao Shangzhen immediately fell to the ground.

Although he was unstoppable and rarely defeated in the "Land of Discourse on Dao".

But that relies on the absolute suppression of the "Tianlong Domain", and the use of rhythm spells to disguise female voices to interfere with the opponent's mind.

Competitions in the fantasy world are different from life-and-death struggles in reality.

In addition, Xiao Shangzhen is greedy for fun and neglects to cultivate.

The moves that Princess Zhaoning urged him to practice, such as the "Tai'a Swordsmanship" and "Liuhe Shield", were only at an entry level.

In this flustered situation, he couldn't even use the "Tianlong Domain" for a while.

Immediately, Du Jingjing approached him easily.

She gathered her true energy into the dagger again, and suddenly stabbed it at Xiao Shangzhen's heart.

Only a "clang" was heard.

The dagger did not penetrate the fourth prince's heart as Du Jingjing expected, but it only scratched Xiao Shangzhen's robe as if it had hit hard metal.

"This guy is actually wearing a golden silk armor!"

Du Jingjing looked at the light yellow vest that Xiao Shangzhen was wearing under the outer robe, and couldn't help opening her eyes wide, feeling a sincere sigh in her heart.

She knew that the golden silk armor is an extremely expensive life-saving magic weapon. It is a armor woven from the golden silk spit out by the golden silkworm on the golden mulberry.

Although it is soft and feels like silk, it is actually invulnerable, and can even withstand the full blow of low-level monks.

This made Du Jingjing instantly full of envy for children of the royal family like Xiao Shangzhen.

As for Xiao Shangzhen, she silently thanked her sister, Princess Zhaoning, in her heart.

If his sister hadn't prepared so many life-saving measures for him before leaving, he might have died more than once.

"Sister, if I can go back alive, I will never contradict you again..."

He took a deep breath and thought silently in his heart.

At the same time, he brewed his true essence in his body, preparing to use the "Tianlong Domain" to launch a counterattack.

However, the moment he inhaled, he inhaled the "San Gong Xiang" into his body again.

So his true essence once again stagnated in the meridians.

"What a fool."

Seeing Xiao Shangzhen struggling desperately like a maggot lying on the ground, Du Jingjing silently commented.

Since Xiao Shangzhen had too many life-saving magic weapons, Du Jingjing decided not to continue using the dagger.

Afterwards, she took out a pill from her pocket and forced it into the young fourth prince's mouth.

This pill is called "Shengsheng Pill", and it is an extremely precious poison pill that the eldest prince Xiao Shangyuan personally handed over to her.

It can devour a practitioner's true energy and even vitality.

After 3 minutes, the cultivation was gone.

An hour later, he died of exhaustion.

Now, Xiao Shangzhen was bound so hard that she couldn't move.

His luggage had already fallen into Du Jingjing's hands.

Xiao Shangzhen has no chance to take the antidote at all.

Even if she doesn't do anything now and just waits here quietly for an hour, her task will be regarded as successfully completed.

"Teacher, as I said, I will not let you down." She said silently in her heart.

…………

"Bi Fang" Chu Wei walked hard along the rugged mountain road.

Although he took the elixir that can enhance physical strength.

But the strong coercion within the restricted area of ​​Laoshan still made him panting and sweating profusely.

Chu Wei is just a ninth-rank official in a remote county, and he doesn't have any prior knowledge of the interior of the ruins.

Therefore, every fork in the mountain road gave him a headache.

He was afraid that if he made a wrong step, he would miss the inheritance of the immortal.

Unknowingly, Chu Wei turned a few turns and came to a square mountain peak stacked with rocks.

It is Laoshan "Juxiantai".

At this moment, he raised his head, just in time to see the fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen being tightly tied with ropes, writhing around on the ground while moaning in pain.

And "Qingluan" Du Jingjing was squatting beside him, holding a dagger in her hand, with an extremely indifferent expression.

"What are you doing?" Seeing such a scene, Chu Wei walked straight towards them with difficult steps.

However, at this moment, Chu Wei also smelled the "scent of Sangong".

His true energy froze immediately, and he could no longer cast any spells.

Seeing Chu Wei's figure, Du Jingjing couldn't help frowning.

The plan to assassinate the fourth prince should have been a secret.

But now, an intruder unexpectedly appeared.

"There is a causal connection between Chu Wei and the fourth prince?" Du Jingjing thought in surprise.

Because she and Chu Wei have no intersection in private, the so-called "causal connection" can only exist between the fourth prince and Chu Wei.

It is these causes and effects that made Chu Wei go through many forks and finally meet the fourth prince at "Juxiantai".

Du Jingjing felt a headache for this.

The plan to assassinate the fourth prince must not be revealed.

Since Chu Wei appeared here by accident and saw something he shouldn't have seen, he had no choice but to die.

Anyway, he has already inhaled the "San Gong Xiang".

Killing him is like killing a chicken.

While Du Jingjing was thinking this way, holding a dagger, she strode towards Chu Wei.

But deep down in her heart, she felt some pain.

After all, she is not an experienced killer, but a girl with relatively good cultivation talent.

She and Chu Wei had no grievances or enmities at all.

It's not easy for her to kill her companions on the grounds of keeping secrets.

…………

The moment Du Jingjing hesitated, another person appeared in front of her along the mountain path.

The man walked lightly.

Clothes are fluttering, handsome and handsome, as if a banished immortal has descended.

When he passed by, white snow fell from the sky, and the whole "Juxiantai" instantly became covered in white.

The breath of "San Gong Xiang" disappeared instantly.

The rope tied to Xiao Shangzhen's body suddenly disappeared into nothingness.

Du Jingjing frowned, stared at this person and asked, "Gu Daoyou, why are you here?"

At this time, Du Jingjing's heart was already flustered.

She knew that although the person in front of her was only at the second level of cultivation, she had mastered the art of talismans and seals, and was also the holder of one of the twelve famous tools, the "Jinghong Brush".

Even if she used up all the trump cards left to her by the eldest prince, she might not be able to defeat Gu Xu, let alone kill him.

"Fellow Daoist Du, have you forgotten that you once asked me about talisman Taoism?" Gu Xu replied with a smile, "That is the causal relationship between us!"

Gu Xu has the talent of a "hard-fated genius", and his understanding is far beyond ordinary people.

After walking through several forks in the road, he has already comprehended the law of the mountain road in the Laoshan ruins——

That is the externalization of the "Tao" of Kongxuan Sanren.

Every mountain road represents a person's life.

Each fork represents a different life choice.

While walking on the mountain road, you will meet different people because of different "causal frontiers".

So Du Jingjing and Chu Wei will meet the fourth prince.

Gu Xu will meet Du Jingjing.

And maybe next time--

"What are you doing?"

At this moment, "Candle Dragon" Chen Yanping appeared at the end of the mountain road and walked straight towards "Juxiantai".

His eyes first fell on Gu Xu, then swept over Du Jingjing and Chu Wei beside him, and finally glanced at the fourth prince Xiao Shangzhen who was lying limply on the ground.

"Why was he poisoned?" Chen Yanping continued to ask.

Du Jingjing couldn't help taking two steps back, not knowing how to answer.

At this moment, she knew very well that she might not be able to keep the secret anymore.

Just as Du Jingjing was panicking, another person appeared at the "Juxiantai" in Laoshan.

"Fellow daoists, why are you all gathered here? Why is it still snowing?"

While talking, Shangguan Jin elegantly brushed her long hair behind her head.

She first looked at Gu Xu with admiration, then glared at Chen Yanping, and finally looked back and forth between Du Jingjing and Xiao Shangzhen suspiciously.
