The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 300 I want to "watch the sky"

Woo.

The cold wind of late autumn poured in through the cracks in the broken wall, blowing away the rich smell of blood.

"Vomit--" Mr. Chen, who was lying in the corner of the yard, opened his eyes wide and looked at the hundreds of warriors kneeling on the ground in the yard, coughing up blood, and suddenly retched.

There was a strong stomach spasm, not only stimulated by the smell of blood, but also more so by fear.

The female relatives of the Chen family were too frightened to scream at all, they just opened their mouths wide.

The Tsing Yi book boy was trembling. He looked at Ji Pingan like a god, and suddenly felt endless fear.

It turned out that the immortal who was smiling at him all the time and seemed very gentle actually had such a cruel and domineering side.

"Huh," in the mourning hall, the God Emperor's arms supporting the coffin board were loose, and he leaned on the coffin with a smile:

"If you come back a little later, I really won't be able to hold on anymore."

Ji Ping'an floated down from a high place and came to his side, frowning and saying:

"what happened?"

"I don't know," the God Emperor grinned, his eyes flashing fiercely, and he roughly described the matter.

"Just ask and you will know." Ji Ping'an looked expressionless and walked straight to the general who was nailed in the courtyard and looking up at the sky.
——In order to rush back quickly, he used the power in the battle flag to launch a long-distance "Star Escape".

Just now, he spent his remaining strength to suppress this man in one fell swoop.

"Oh..." The mustached general was spurting blood from his collar. He was still lying on the ground, trying his best to hold the flagpole nailed to his chest with both hands.

Tried to pull it out, but couldn't do it.

In the field of vision, a corner of a green shirt appeared. Ji Ping'an asked expressionlessly:

"Who sent you here?"

"How dare you...the military government will..." The general spat out blood and his eyes were about to burst.

Ji Ping'an stepped on his neck, and with a "click", the bones shattered. The dignified general whose cultivation level was at the ninth level was immediately dead: "Stupid."

Kill now? !

The soldiers who had just recovered their breath were silent!

The look in Ji Ping'an's eyes was filled with only fear.

Since his rebirth, Ji Ping'an has always given people a gentle and gentle impression, as if he smiles at everyone without any airs of a monk.

But only his old friends know that another famous saying of the Great Zhou Dynasty Master is:
Be as ruthless as the harsh winter to your enemies.

How could a former "devil king" who later suppressed the patron saint of a dynasty really be a good gentleman?

The reason why he is always smiling is because even if most people in the world are provocative, it is difficult to make him angry.

But he didn't like what these soldiers were doing now.

"Under such circumstances, you are still trying to use your power to suppress others. Are all the generals trained by the Ministry of War and the Military Government so stupid?" Ji Ping'an was suffering from stupidity.

Moreover, who said that interrogation requires people to be alive?
I saw him raising his hand, fingers slightly spread, and grabbing the corpse on the ground.

A divine soul suddenly floated out, and was immediately sucked into his eyes that turned into black whirlpools, and countless memories suddenly emerged.

Ask the spirit!

The God-Emperor took a breath, walked over, and asked:
"How about it?"

Ji Pingan opened his eyes, finished asking the spirit, and shook his head:

"It's similar to what we guessed. It's someone from the Zhongzhou Military Mansion who received the order to arrest the person. We don't know the rest of the key information."

He was just a tool of Emperor Yuan Qing.

Either he found this clue about Chen Xuanwu, or Chen Xuanwu sent someone to the capital to contact Qin Tianjian at the same time, but they were intercepted.

It's impossible to say for sure right now, but it doesn't matter.

The God-Emperor scolded his unworthy descendants in his heart, and then noticed the little fox hiding on the back of Ji Ping'an's neck, with only one head exposed, watching him warily.

"What is this?" The God Emperor was confused.

Erqing was so angry that he put his hands on his hips and spat at him, raising his head proudly:

"You are the thing!"

Damn it... the fox demon... the God Emperor is well-informed and he chuckled:
"This little novelty is really something."

One person and one person bickered, which eased the atmosphere slightly. Ji Ping'an pulled the God Emperor aside and told the general story of the matter through the sound transmission.

The God Emperor's face turned serious.

Ji Ping'an walked into the mourning hall, pointed at the corpse in the coffin, and said to Er Qing:

"Do you remember the soul aura of this body?"

Erqing's big eyes flashed, his limbs exerted force, and he jumped towards the coffin with a "hehe" sound, but he didn't find the right angle, and his belly hit the edge of the coffin, making an "ouch" sound.

Grasping tightly with his two front paws, he stepped back and rolled vigorously, finally dragging himself into the coffin.

Qinghu lay on the corpse, sniffing with his pink nose, shaking his head and saying:
"I haven't seen it, at least I haven't been to Beiman Mountain."

Ji Ping'an's heart sank, so he was looking in the wrong direction?
Chen Xuanwu's lost soul has nothing to do with Er Qing, so where did it go?
The little fox lied?Not that, not to mention his understanding of Er Qing, it is not logically necessary.

Moreover, as Qingqiu Meng woke up, the stronger soul was enough to return on its own, but it was not noticed along the way.

It can only mean that Chen Xuanwu’s soul has other destinations.

"Hey," Erqing suddenly said with some uncertainty, "This person smells like a human being."

people?
Ji Ping'an and the God Emperor looked at it in confusion.

Erqing thought for a while and explained: "It's not a mortal, nor you two, it's a practitioner."

Ji Ping'an asked: "Is it a demon?"

He thought of the tree demon on Brokeback Mountain who also came to secretly check on the corpse.

However, "plant monsters" have a very poor sense of smell. Only "beast monsters" like Erqing have a strong ability to trace breath.

Er Qing shook his head: "No, it's a human being. It was left behind about three or four days ago, and it still has an earthy smell."

Ji Ping'an and the God Emperor looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

If Er Qing's description is correct, then the person who took Chen Xuanwu's soul away should be a monk from a certain clan.

But what is the description of "earthy smell"?Good at earth magic?

At this time, footsteps were heard again outside the hospital.

Everyone turned around and saw the Qintian Prison team rushing in. Huang Chen, the leader, was also stunned when he saw the scene in the courtyard:

"what happened?"

Waiting for Ji Pingan to give a brief description, saying that they were sent by the imperial court to arrest Chen Xuanwu.

The famous "honest man" in Qin Tian Jian's face was stunned at first, and then suddenly sank.

You must know that Chen Xuanwu is Huang Chen's grandfather in terms of seniority. After learning the truth, how can the prison prince not be angry?
But immediately, he became worried about the whereabouts of Chen Xuanwu's soul.

"By the way, those Taoist monks just woke up." Huang Chen suddenly said.

Ji Ping'an had already noticed that at the back of the team, several Taoist priests who had been unconscious had woken up.

His heart moved and he stepped forward to ask about the situation.

Several Taoist priests were all ordained monks in the local Taoist temple. When they learned that he was Ji Ping'an, they were suddenly surprised.

After the ceremony, Fang told the story of how he and others went to Beimang Mountain to investigate the sudden "soul-leaving syndrome" in Beiling City.

"But based on our investigation, I'm afraid they fell into a trap." The middle-aged Taoist priest who led the group sighed.

"What do you mean by this?" Ji Ping'an asked.

The middle-aged Taoist priest explained:
"We investigated the case that day and got clues. The person who caused the soul-leaving syndrome was probably a resurrected Taoist. Now it seems that he deliberately arranged false clues to lead us to Beimang Mountain. This is to drive away wolves and feed tigers. count……"

"Resurrection Taoist?" The God Emperor asked in surprise: "You mean the reborn one?"

The middle-aged Taoist nodded, cupped his hands and said:

"You are all the elites of the Qintian Prison. There is no need to cover up this matter. We suspect that the person behind the scenes may be the 'Taoist Banshan'. Now I am afraid that he has left Beiling for many days and is missing."

Ji Ping'an was stunned for a moment.

A mountain-moving Taoist in the "human world"?That old Taoist priest who goes around digging graves and manipulating clay dolls?
When I combined it with the "earth smell" mentioned by Erqing, I already believed it.

Therefore, the truth is that Taoist Banshan came to Beiling some time ago, perhaps for the purpose of making clay doll clones to capture people's souls.

As for Chen Xuanwu, it is very likely that the "human world" is trying to win over him.

At that time, Chen Xuanwu had arranged for someone to contact Qin Tianjian. It was definitely impossible to join the human world, so he had a conflict with the old Taoist priest Banshan?
Ji Pingan pieced together various clues in his mind and tried to restore the truth.

As for the reason why Taoist Banshan didn't try to win over Erqing, it may be related to the guess that it is a demon clan.

After all, in most cases, because of the war that year, the demon race and the human race have enmity.

Therefore, we followed the current and led the investigators to Beimang Mountain.

This secret poking and scheming method to create trouble and lure people into trouble is exactly the same as when he planned to kill Ji Ping'an in Qiantang County.

After realizing this, Ji Ping'an was worried but also relaxed a little.

What worries me is that her whereabouts in the world are uncertain. Although Wei Qingqing was buried as a chess piece, she could not be contacted about this matter, and she was afraid that Chen Xuanwu would not be recovered in a short time.

But on the other hand, the human world is a "rebirth organization" after all. As long as Chen Xuanwu is still valuable, he can guarantee his survival for at least a long time.

After he told the God Emperor and Huang Chen about this speculation, the two of them suddenly began to worry about gain and loss.

This result was beyond everyone's expectations.

Just as everyone was discussing the next step.

Suddenly, an exclamation caught their attention. Outside the crowd, the trio who had fainted on the ground had also woken up.

Carrying a book box on his back, Zhao Dengke, a shy scholar, woke up leisurely.

His memory still lingered on the three of them entering Beimang together, and it seemed like he had had a long dream.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw a dilapidated courtyard, a corpse nailed to death in the center, and a group of soldiers kneeling on the ground, not daring to move at all.

"what!!"

Zhao Dengke screamed in fright, hurriedly hid behind him, and bumped into Ruan Xiu and Feng Wu who had woken up.

It wasn't until the three of them saw Ji Ping'an and the Divine Emperor in the crowd that they seemed to find their backbone:
"Benefactor?!"

Ruan Xiu exclaimed happily, realizing that she and others seemed to have been saved by their benefactor again.

Ji Ping'an had no choice but to come over, comfort the three of them first, and then asked casually:

"Why did you show up in Beimang?"

Ruan Xiu dared to hide anything and immediately told the truth.

It turned out to be the scholar Zhao Dengke. On his way to Beijing this time, he also received a commission to deliver a letter for someone, and the other party gave him a large sum of money.

Zhao Dengke was helpless and worried about encountering bandits on the road, so he found Ruan Xiu and Feng Wu who also planned to go to Zhongzhou, and paid them a reward to escort him.

Only then did the three of them form a group.

Ji Ping'an asked in confusion, "Sending a message? Sending a message to the Beimang ruins? How could there be any living people there?" Zhao Dengke, the counselor, said with a sad face:
"But the address written on the letter is there. It also said that when I arrive, someone will naturally come to find me."

Ji Ping'an and the God Emperor looked at each other and both noticed something strange. The God Emperor said:
"Where is the letter?"

Zhao Dengke grabbed an envelope from his arms. As soon as he took it out, several people present noticed that the envelope suddenly shone brightly as if it sensed some kind of aura.

"Huh?" Erqing, who climbed out of the coffin and was lying obediently on the back of Ji Ping'an's neck, suddenly stuck out his head, sniffed, his eyes lit up, and he said:

"It's the breath of my kindred."

"Monster..." Zhao Dengke trembled with fright. Where had he seen a fox that spoke human words?
But now Ji Ping'an is too lazy to pay attention to him. Is there something evil on the envelope?No wonder he was in the temple with her before and didn't notice it.

There is probably some kind of secret magic applied to the envelope, and it will only be activated when the evil spirit is sensed.

"Bring it to me!"

Ji Ping'an grabbed the envelope, tore it open, and then unfolded it. Er Qing on his shoulder also looked over curiously.

Ji Ping'an glanced at it in a hurry, and his expression changed.

……

……

Shendu City, Silent Garden.

Because it is located in the north, the autumn atmosphere is stronger in the city. Now the colorful garden in the past has turned into a withered yellow.

The fallen leaves are withered, and the golden chrysanthemums are withered.

Suddenly, golden ripples appeared in the air.

An extremely dim and illusory Dharma body came out, passed through the door and window with a whooshing sound, and merged into the body of Xin Yaoguang, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the table, meditating.

"Huh..." Exhaling softly, Xin Yaoguang opened her beautiful eyes, sensing that her soul was complete again, and she felt happy.

After the fight is over.Today she finally took back her Dharma body in Yuhang.

According to the clone's memory, she has learned that the Buddhist mission has left Yuhang and returned to Southern Tang.

The original plan was probably that if the battle was successful, Master Changmei would stay in the monastery as a bridgehead for the expansion of Buddhism to the north.

But after the failure, and facing the internal changes in Buddhism, the head of Bodhidharma Academy had no choice but to leave in despair with his son and daughter.

Within the Dao Sect, this time of being suppressed is also an opportunity for change.

"The Buddhist sect realized that the disaster was coming, and at great cost, they forcibly abolished the Hinayana and modified the Mahayana... Oh, the contemporary Buddha is also a decisive person. How can our Taoist sect be willing to follow others?" Xin Yaoguang thought.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the document she had drafted on the table.

Above all, she has control over the shortcomings of Taoist temples in the Great Zhou Dynasty. This time, she has decided to take advantage of the reputation of this defeat to make a big change.

"Go and show it to Master." Xin Yaoguang stood up and went to see Wei Huayang.

But at this moment, a sudden burst of rapid bells rang, and Xin Yaoguang was stunned for a moment, and then he saw a green light running from a distance.

A Taoist deacon gasped: "Headmaster, there is an urgent report from Leizhou!"

"What happened?" Xin Yaoguang raised his slender eyebrows.

She didn't sense any danger.

The deacon handed a folder from his sleeve and said quickly:
"Elder Chen Daoling led a team to Leizhou to search for reborn people. They were attacked by strong demons. After successfully repelling the powerful enemies, they noticed that the demons were abnormal, so they contacted the secret we had planted in Daxizhou and obtained two key pieces of information. "

"First, the demon clan seems to have made some moves recently. Many demon kings have left their territory and are missing."

"Secondly, there is intelligence that the previous headmaster is suspected of appearing in Daxi Continent, but it is not certain. Elder Chen believes that this is a serious matter. If the previous headmaster really falls into the hands of the demon clan, the consequences will be disastrous, so he asks the headmaster to go to the rescue. .”

The previous headmaster...Master...Xin Yaoguang shook his hand holding the fold.

……

Lanzhou, Beast Control Sect.

In a luxurious palace in the mountain peak, Qi Hongmian was half lying on the big bed under the bead curtain, while reading a miscellaneous book.

While listening to the disciple’s report:
"The Buddhist mission has passed through and returned to the Southern Tang Dynasty. Nowadays, the hearts of the 180 temples in the Tang Kingdom are unstable, and the Southern Tang Jiange is also restless."

"In the Sanqing Temple in Yuhang, the Taoist disciples stayed behind. It is said that Master Xin was furious and the saint son and saint girl were punished to practice hard."

"There is no movement in Yin Yang Academy. It has been extremely quiet since Ji Sichen left that day."

Qi Hongmian listened to this lazily, with her little phoenix crown placed aside, her slender legs stretched freely, and she was in a state of joy.

Hearing this, his red lips curled up slightly and he said leisurely:
"This Ji Ping'an is really interesting. He turned around and left after making such a big fuss. He escaped very quickly."

The disciple said: "I'm afraid I have some clues."

Qi Hongmian sighed:
"Forget it. If he is in Lanzhou, I will naturally take care of him. But since he ran to Zhongzhou, no matter what clues he has, just let him go. Just be aware that it is beyond our reach."

The disciple was surprised and thought that this was not the domineering character of his Master.

He said this in words, but in fact, it was only a few times that he accepted Ji Ping'an's affection and it was not easy to compete with him.

"Go back."

As Qi Hongmian spoke, the disciple bowed and left. But as soon as he walked out, he was surprised and said:
"Elder Luan?"

Luan Yu hurried over, but seemed to be in a hurry and ignored him and went straight into the palace.

"What happened again?" Qi Hongmian stroked the fire phoenix and looked at Luan Yu outside the bead curtain in surprise.

However, the next second, what Luan Yu said made her sit up straight:

"Master, there is news from Hei Changshi that traces of the Four Holy Cult Leaders have been found in Wanzhou, but they don't dare to alert the snake. I would like to ask you to take action and catch him."

The leader of the Four Saints...Qi Hongmian's phoenix eyes flashed fiercely:

"Finally found it?"

……

Yuhang, Yin Yang Academy.

On the observatory, Xie Wensheng changed into a set of thicker autumn clothes, looked at the white-robed supervisor and said, "Are you really going to leave?"

Qin Tianjian was nodding. The old man looked at Yuhang City. The illusory star disk around him could not help but rotate, as if he was calculating something again and again.

Hearing this, he sighed: "It's time to leave."

Xie Wensheng was unsure:
"You don't tell the truth. You've always said you'd like to retreat, but in the end you didn't do much. Why do you suddenly say you want to leave this time?"

Jian Zheng laughed and said, "This time it's true."

Xie Wensheng looked at him seriously for a moment and said:

"But why choose a place for seclusion? And haven't you always been afraid to leave Yuhang? You sense that once you leave, something bad will happen."

Qin Tianjian said with emotion:
"If it is an ordinary retreat, naturally there is no place to choose. But if it is to attack Shenzang, it cannot be disturbed. Haha, you should also know that such a big thing must be carried out secretly in a place where no one knows. Otherwise, if it is given to Kyushu Those guys who are keeping an eye on me know that, why don’t they swarm over and kill me? Interrupt my path to the divine treasure?”

Xie Wensheng was stunned for a moment: "Are you going to enter trance?"

The supervisor sighed:
"The National Master once said that imitating him in the human world is of little use. If you really want to break the divine treasure, the most important thing is the era. Each era has only a fixed position. There are more troubled times and less prosperous times. There are only divine treasures of the era. In the era without Shen Zang... there were too few seats in the past, and Xin Yaoguang took them, so there was no more, but now there are."

After a pause, the huge halo-like astrolabe around him collapsed and converged. The old man finished the horoscope and said:
"As for Yuhang's safety, it shouldn't be a big problem."

You shouldn't... Xie Wensheng panicked:
"How about I go with you?"

Qin Tianjian was dumbfounded:

"I don't trust you, that's all. I will leave the academy to your care for the time being. When the prison lord comes later, I will hand it over to them."

Xie Wensheng cursed:
"Don't be afraid. If you walk on the front foot, I will tell you all over the world that you are running away. You are going to advance."

Qin Tianjian was smiling and not afraid at all:
"Just go ahead and go."

After saying these words, the old man in white suddenly disintegrated into starlight, rose into the sky, and disappeared.

Xie Wensheng sat down, waited for a long time, and murmured in disbelief:

"This guy really ran away?"

……

……

Chen's mansion.

"What's in the letter?!"

The God Emperor saw the change in Ji Ping'an's face and couldn't help but ask.

Ji Ping'an handed him the letter with no expression on his face, then turned to look at Er Qing, who looked innocent.

He spread his hands to show that it had nothing to do with him: "I don't know!"

The content of this letter is very simple, and the recipient is actually Erqing.

To be precise, there was no Erqing's name in the letter, only the sentence "Your Excellency Yaozu". Considering that it was sent to Beimang, it was obviously for Erqing.

The general idea is to ask Erqing if he wants to return to the demon clan. If he has any ideas, he can go to Yuhang City and a demon clan will contact him then.

Not signed.

The first thing Ji Ping'an thought of was the Qinhuai River demon clan Anzi Xiangning Oiran.

But as he asked Zhao Dengke about the appearance and location of the sender, he gave up this speculation.

According to Zhao Dengke, the sender was a stranger whose origin was unknown.

As for the place where the letter was sent, it was Leizhou, which was similar to Ji Ping'an's birthplace in this life.

Leizhou is to the west of Zhongzhou, adjacent to Daxizhou, and is the closest place to the Monster Clan's territory.

"So, the truth is that the demon clan in Daxizhou is contacting this thing? Let it go to Yuhang, and then send the demon spies from Yuhang to take it away?" The God Emperor was stunned for a moment.

But after saying that, he rejected this guess: "Something's wrong."

Ji Ping'an also nodded and said:
"It's indeed wrong. First of all, how did the sender know that there are people of the same race in Beiman Mountain? If it was discovered by Anzi, why did he go through such a big circle? Let a scholar help deliver the letter? Secondly, Yu Hang's current situation... Heh, probably except Outside the capital city, it is the place where most people gather. Are you going to join us in Yuhang at this time?"

The God Emperor said doubtfully:
"Then what's going on? It can't be another trap, right? I always feel a little uneasy, as if something is going to happen."

Ji Pingan narrowed his eyes and said, "I have a similar feeling."

The experience of the past 1000 years, as well as the sense of danger as a star officer, made him feel a faint sense of crisis.

It seemed that something was brewing, but it was far away from him.

Deep in Ji Ping'an's eyes, an illusory astrolabe appeared. He tried to start astrology, but was soon interrupted by a mysterious force.

Ji Ping'an's expression changed and he looked at Huang Chen:

"Do you feel anything?"

Huang Chen, who was a star official in the Well Realm, was stunned, shook his head and said:
"No."

Ji Ping'an's face became increasingly grim. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly said:

"Give me a quiet house."

"What are you going to do?" Luo Huaizhu asked suddenly.

Ji Ping'an looked around at everyone and suddenly said seriously:

"I want to 'watch the sky'."
