I'm looking for longevity in Liaozhai

Chapter 128 A Cloud Piercing Arrow
"What is this?"

Wang Zhe took out the small token he got from Huang Shen again.

"This is the token of the underworld ghost messenger. If a monk in the yang world obtains it, he can go to the underworld to become a ghost messenger after death, and will not enter reincarnation."

After just one glance, the City God recognized the token.

"He and Huang Kun are really out of tricks!" Wang Zhe said with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that a few days ago, a great ghost escaped from the underworld?" He remembered the news he heard from the painted skin ghost and asked the city god.

"My lord, that's right, that ghost is the former Great Yongwen King Wu Zhengang."

"Wu Zhengang?" Wang Zhe heard this name for the first time.

"Returning to your lord, this man was King Wen of Dayong in his lifetime, under one man and above ten thousand, he helped the founding emperor of Dayong to pacify the world, but he was later executed for treason.

It is said that it was the torture of dismembering his body by five horses. He was also stripped of his face, and he was also killed by the barbarians.After his death, his resentment became extremely strong, and he turned into a fierce ghost, vowing to kill the Dayong royal family.

Because of too much hostility, he was suppressed in the prison deep in the underworld, but he escaped for some reason. "

"Excuse me, excuse me."

"The next official will see you off."

"no need."

Wang Zhe turned around and disappeared in one step.

"It seems that there have been no inspectors in the world for many years!" The city god stared outside and said.

"Let's go, Laifu."

After leaving the Town God's Temple, Wang Zhe called the local dog, and one person and one dog disappeared into the night.

Lin'an City, in a certain manor.

A Taoist nun's face was ashen. The death of her daughter made her distraught and filled with anger.

"My condolences, Daoist. I will send someone to investigate as soon as possible who killed Ling Qianjin." A middle-aged man in white said beside him.

"Thank you, Master."

"I won't bother you about tomorrow's matter. If you have anything to do, just let me know. Don't worry, Daoist. I will never break my promise if I promise you."

"it is good."

The night was quiet, and the winter days seemed extraordinarily long.

In the city of Lin'an, there is a bridge over a river. On a stone bench by the bridge, a man sits with his eyes closed, and a dog crouches beside him.

This person is Wang Zhe,

He didn't go to the inn to stay, but found such a place at random and planned to stay here for one night.Sitting here for a whole night, the north wind howled, and the river beside him had already frozen, but he remained calm.

It wasn't until dawn that he opened his eyes.

"Let's go, Lai Fu, let's go eat something, walk around, and take you to see West Lake."

Wang Zhe found a shop, and after breakfast, he took Laifu towards West Lake.

On the way, he met a big man, eight feet tall, with a hulking back and short hair, holding a copper stick with a thick wrist in his hand, exuding an astonishing aura.

"What a strong blood!" Wang Zhe glanced at the man.

Not far from the big man was a skinny old man, more than six feet tall, with an ancient sword on his back. Looking at his skinny appearance, it seemed that a gust of wind could blow him away.

Seeing that the two people walked out of the city together.

Wang Zhe brought Laifu to West Lake.

The West Lake in winter does not have the charm of spring and summer, but it also has broken bridges and remnant snow, which has a special sentiment.

Sending Huang Shen away is also a wish fulfilled,
One person and one dog walked around the West Lake. In winter, there are very few people here.

After leaving here, Wang Zhe was going to go to Zhuo Siwei to see if he could get some news about the arm-armed ape from him.

According to Zhuo Siwei's previous statement, he would stay in Lin'an City for nearly half a year.

Wang Zhe came to his house in Lin'an, knocked on the door, and stood outside the door for a while.

"Who is it?" A lazy voice came from inside, which sounded very familiar.

With a creak, the door opened a crack, and the people inside were still sleepy.

"Still sleeping at this point, what did you do last night?" Wang Zhe joked with a smile.

"Hey, it's you, come in!" Zhuo Siwei was taken aback when he saw Wang Zhe standing outside the door, and then he was full of surprise, and hurriedly invited him into the room.

"It's almost the end of the year, why are you here?"

"Come find someone."

"Looking for someone, who is it? Have you found it? I know Lin'an well!"

"It has been found."

Zhuo Siwei invited him into the house.

"You are the only one in such a big courtyard?" Wang Zhe looked at the courtyard with three entrances and three exits.

"There is also Lin Bo, who should be out shopping at this time."

"You didn't get it by taking bribes and breaking the law, did you?"

"Look at what you said, I'm an upright person, I never do anything corrupt or illegal, but I have some spare money at home, I often do business here, so I bought a house here." Zhuo Siwei said with a smile.

"Don't talk about it, I'm here to ask you something."

"What's the matter, tell me." Zhuo Siwei skillfully brewed a pot of tea.

"I heard that there is a big monster in the city of Guobei County, is there such a thing?"

"How do you know about this?" Zhuo Siwei was taken aback when he heard this.

"hearsay."

"There is indeed such a thing. I heard that he is still a great monster."

"Has the monster ever been subdued?"

"No, Master Guangji passed away because of this incident." Zhuo Siwei looked a little sad when he mentioned this.

"Have you found any traces of the monster?"

"Never."

"I haven't found it for so long, and you Baiqisi can't find it. Is it because you didn't pay much attention?"

"Hey, you've seen us too much. This Dayong Wanli Jiangshan, it just finds a corner to hide, how can we find it?"

"Aren't there some special magic weapons and supernatural powers?"

"Yes, indeed there is, and that's only if people are willing to use it and be willing to help. If you can ask the supervisor who understands the Heavenly Prison to use the Heavenly Mirror, you will naturally be able to find its trace."

Zhuo Siwei took a sip of tea, then continued.

"In the eyes of you and me, this is a great event, but in the eyes of the adults above, this is a small matter!

What is a big deal? A few days ago, the "King Yu Ding" appeared outside Jiangcheng in Jingzhou, attracting an unknown number of great monks.Then there was a sudden disappearance.

This is the big deal, now Qin Tianjian and Baiqisi do not know how many people are looking for the trace of the "King Yu Ding". "

Having said that, Zhuo Siwei had a somewhat self-deprecating smile on his face.

"In the world in just a few years, the court has changed. Few people really care about the life and death of the people. They are all thinking about the power in their hands, learning alchemy, and practicing Taoism."

"What is good at the top must be good at the bottom. The emperor in the capital practiced alchemy to seek longevity, and the officials below all have to follow suit. They also want to serve the emperor for a long time, don't they?"

Wang Zhe said with a smile, with a bit of sarcasm in his words.

"Who doesn't want to live forever, the older you are, the more you fear death, and the higher you are, the more you fear death." Zhuo Siwei said with a smile.

"Do you think there is righteousness in this world?" Wang Zhe looked at the sky outside and suddenly asked such a sentence.

"Well, righteousness, of course there is, why do you ask this suddenly?"

"I've come all the way, looking at the sky and the earth, I always feel a little dark, now that I think about it, it's a filthy air, evil, resentful,

More than one person once said that the world is going to be chaotic. Thinking about it, it is because there is less righteousness between the world and the earth.
The emperor practiced alchemy, all the officials imitated, no one cared about the life and death of the people, the people complained, the thieves were rampant, and the unrighteousness was rampant. "

Listening to Wang Zhe's words, Zhuo Siwei fell into deep thought, and took another sip of wine after a long time.

"I have come all the way. Wherever I go, I can see people who died of freezing and starvation everywhere, but I have not seen relief from the imperial court. Does the imperial court care about the lives of the common people?"

"Relief is provided, but there are too many disaster-stricken places in Dayong, and the household department has no food." Zhuo Siwei said in a low voice.

"It's almost the end of the new year, don't go back, just stay in Lin'an, my house is big enough."

"I still want to go to other places."

"Where to go?"

"It doesn't matter where you go."

The two were talking when they suddenly heard a ringing sound from the sky outside.

"Wait a minute." Zhuo Siwei hurriedly went outside and looked up at the sky, only to see a colorful cloud appeared in the still clear sky, and upon closer inspection, it seemed that something exploded to emit light.

"What is this, a cloud piercing arrow with thousands of horses coming to meet you?"
