Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 443 The Tampered Past
same night.

Zhao Yan, who was far away in Jicheng, the capital of Dayan, also had a nightmare.

She dreamed that she was riding a steed, sending Gu Xu to Jingu, watching him board the merchant ship and sailing away.

However, the merchant ship had just traveled less than a mile when it suddenly caught fire.

The raging fire jumped up from the merchant ship, reflecting the sea red, like a sea of ​​​​fire in hell.

And the ship was also quickly scorched, limp, and scorched black, until it was reduced to ashes.

Only then did she realize that it was actually a boat made of paper!
She stood on the shore in a trance, stretched out her hand and rubbed the wet eye sockets, sadness, like bamboo shoots in the spring rain, sprouted in her heart and grew vigorously.

After a while, she finally came to her senses.

"Obviously there is no one I know on this boat," she thought, "but why am I so sad?"

…………

"Before..." Yang Jiong touched his chin, trying to search for the answer in his memory, "Oh, I remembered, this place originally belonged to Lou Licheng, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but he was dismissed by the court because of corruption and bribery. The house was stolen."

Seeing her behavior, the citizens of Dayan lamented that the king is worthy of being the reincarnation of a saint, and his pious attitude towards gods is far beyond ordinary people.

This alley is called "Goldfish Alley". It is not far from the Luohe River. The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, etc., all live near here.

However, because the Mangshan Ghost King had reached an agreement with her father in advance, it did not attack her. Instead, it went straight to the imperial city after obtaining the "Jingshanbi", the seal of the Great Chu State that it wanted.

Zhao Yan, on the other hand, successfully awakened her blood with the help of fragments of "Flint" in the imperial treasury, and obtained the dazzling and powerful wings of the fire phoenix...

Shangguan Jin pondered for a moment, and remembered that a corrupt official named Lou Licheng was punished by the court not long ago.

Zhao Yan took a deep breath, and under the surprised eyes of the guards, she turned and left the Fire Temple.

Today's idols seem to have become very strange.

But she thought about it, but she couldn't remember which acquaintance lived here.

This feeling made her very awkward and uncomfortable.

Every time he sees the strong man with beard and ferocious face in the portrait, Shangguan Jin can't help feeling that this Li Ba is so naive and capable that the court has to spend a lot of time to arrest him. .

As she walked, she unknowingly entered a quiet alley amidst the noise.

Yin of Luojing Mansion is a fourth-rank official, and Exorcist Doctor is a fifth-rank official—in terms of official rank alone, Yang Jiong is higher than Shangguan Jin.

But subconsciously, Zhao Yan always felt that something very important was missing in this process.

Therefore, in front of her, Yang Jiong, who is a mortal, behaved respectfully and respectfully, and his flattery words were like a torrent of river water, without repeating a single sentence.

Shangguan Jin recognized that this was Yin Yangjiong's family from Luojing Prefecture.The destination of their relocation was a house with a black-painted bright gate and a foot-high step - "No. 22 Jinyu Lane".

"Master Shangguan, long time no see!"

At that time, she discovered that Bai Chen was not a real human monk, but the "ghost attendant" of Mangshan Ghost King.

…………

At this moment, she only felt that her heart was empty, as if something important was missing, she thought about it, but she still couldn't figure it out.

But only Zhao Yan knew that the reason why she went to the Fire God Temple every day was just because she wanted to see a certain bastard, and hoped that he was safe and sound on the way to find the magic weapon fragments, so that he would not lose his life so easily.

Shangguan Jin pondered for a moment, and raised the doubts in his heart: "Master Yang, who did you buy this mansion from?"

This morning, Shangguan Jin was rarely free.Taking advantage of the sunny and sunny weather, he wandered the streets of Luojing, thinking about using the newly obtained salary to add some new rouge, face powder, and jewelry to himself.

But in the Great Qi Dynasty, practitioners had a supernatural status, and Shangguan Jin was still working beside Luo Chuan, the head of the Exorcism Department. Her words and deeds probably represented the thoughts of the head of the department.

She was depressed, too lazy to dress up, put on a casual dress, left the palace, rode on the horse "Big Red", and went to the Temple of Fire accompanied by several guards.

Since she became the monarch of Dayan, she has to go to the Fire Temple to pray every morning.

Zhao Yandai frowned slightly, thought for a while, and found that it was indeed the case in her memory.

"Then... before that?" Shangguan Jin frowned, then asked, "Has anyone else lived here before?"

The whole thing seemed to make sense.

At this moment, Yin Yangjiong of Luojing Mansion, who was bloated and obese, walked up to greet Shangguan Jin with a smile on his face.

When she walked out of the gate of the Fire God Temple, a soldier rushed to her and reported to her: "Your Majesty, there is an alchemist from the east of the river who asked to see you. He said that as the leader of the Luoshui Conference, the King He was overwhelmed by his presence. He hopes you will give him a chance to serve you."

With a short time difference, she was the first to grab the "Silver Wine Cup" and was sent to the imperial treasury.But that "Bai Chen" actually built a space passage, and followed her into the inner vault.

Shangguan Jin felt very familiar with this mansion.

It's just that in her mind, the man's face was blurred.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the soldier bowed.

She remembered that at the end of the Luoshui Conference, she competed with a feng shui master named "Bai Chen" for the "Silver Wine Goblet".

Today, the streets and alleys are covered with portraits of Li Batian, the "King of Swordsman" who is a thief.

"It was rewarded to me by the imperial court," Yang Jiong said proudly after hearing her words, "A few days ago, I found out a few of Li Batian's subordinates who were hiding in the dark near Luojing, and destroyed their secrets. Stronghold. In order to reward my achievements, the court gave me this house."

When she woke up in the morning, the red blood in Zhao Yan's eyes was clearly visible.

Its face was as indistinct as ever, but somehow less familiar than it had been.

"Let him wait for me in the main hall!" After a moment of silence, Zhao Yan ordered lightly.

A family in Jinyu Lane is moving today.

However, today, when she walked under the Vulcan statue, her mind suddenly went blank.

It turns out that I was the leader of the "Luoshui Conference"?

She couldn't even remember that person's age, place of origin, what year he passed the Jinshi examination, what official positions he held...

For Shangguan Jin, who is well versed in official affairs, this is undoubtedly something very wrong.

But after a few seconds, her memory suddenly became clear.

She remembered that Lou Licheng was a grey-haired old man from Qinzhou Prefecture. He obtained a high degree of fame more than 30 years ago, his wife died young and his son died young. Last winter, he was dismissed by the court for corruption and exiled to southern Xinjiang. On the way...
