Chapter 927 The Imperial Palace?

Gu Shiyi went to the big city a hundred miles away and scanned the outside of the city with his demon sense, but did not find any trace of Monk Shijie or the old monk. He was secretly puzzled and did not know how to inquire for a while, so he used a magic to ask the soldiers guarding the city.
"Bald? There are two bald guys here recently. I wonder which one you are asking about?"

"Two bald heads? But one is old and the other is a very young child, and they both look so mature?"

"That's right. The old man had entered the city earlier and was treating patients on the streets. He was given two steamed buns after his patients were cured. The younger child came in and asked about the bald old man..."

"Oh... then, did they meet each other?"

The officer frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said,
"I don't know...but the bailiffs patrolling the city should have seen it..."

Gu Shiyi asked the patrol officers again, and they remembered.
"The old monk and the young monk used to treat patients and beg for food together on the street, but they disappeared within two days..."

"Gone?"

Gu Shiyi frowned.

"What does it mean that they disappeared? Was there anything unusual in the city before they disappeared?"

The yamen runner thought for a moment and said,

"There were some strange phenomena. One night, there was a violent storm in the city. Many houses in the city were damaged. The county lord sent out several groups of brothers to help repair the houses and provide relief to the people. Later, I heard from another group of brothers that it was because someone was fighting in the city. Fighting is not allowed in our city. The county lord asked the immortal master to chase after them and check. He chased them for fifty miles and then came back..."

"After chasing for fifty miles, which direction did they chase?"

The yamen runner pointed eastward, and a gust of wind blew up in front of him, causing him to stagger. When he looked up again, he scratched the back of his head in confusion.

"Eh... the weather is weird, the wind is blowing so hard..."

Gu Shiyi chased eastward, but did not dare to fly too fast. He searched along the road and finally saw the destroyed and collapsed trees near a village two hundred miles away. Several houses were also affected. Gu Shiyi landed and asked, and sure enough, he heard the villagers talking with horror.

"Two bald guys, one old and one young, were fighting. It was so fierce that there was golden light, strong wind, and black fog. When the black fog came, we knew nothing..."

Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows.
"They really started fighting over a disagreement!"

Gu Shiyi asked again,

"So is there anything unusual in the village these days?"

The villagers were even more terrified when they talked about it.
"In the past few days, many chickens and ducks in the village have died inexplicably. All of them had their necks broken and their blood sucked dry. I don't know what kind of wild beast in the mountains did this!"

Gu Shiyi felt relieved after hearing this, and he circled the mountain village for a long time. Finally, he found the presence of Monk Shijie in a valley ten miles away from the village.

"The Ten Commandments! The Ten Commandments? Are you dead?"

"The Ten Commandments...don't make a sound if you're dead or not!"

Gu Shiyi searched carefully in the dense forest in the valley, and finally sensed a very faint breath in a desolate grave.

"Monk, are you dead?"

A faint voice came from the desolate tomb.
"Not yet...but...soon!"

Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand towards the desolate tomb. Suddenly, a giant claw appeared in the air, grabbed downwards, and lifted up the desolate tomb, revealing the empty tomb chamber and the little monk hiding inside.

The little monk looked very miserable at this time. He was covered in blood, his face was pale, and his clothes were tattered. He was lying on the rotten coffin. When he saw Gu Shiyi, he rolled his eyes.
"Give me a pill!"

Gu Shiyi hurriedly took out the pill and gave it to him to take. After taking the pill, Monk Shijie turned over and sat cross-legged in meditation. Gu Shiyi looked him up and down, sniffed again, and his face darkened slightly, but he didn't say much. He waited until Monk Shijie opened his eyes after the effect of the medicine was activated, and then asked,
"Monk, did you eat people?"

The Ten Commandments monk shook his head,

"Almost..."

At this moment, his voice was gloomy and hoarse, and his eyes flashed with a chilling coldness.

"If you don't come, I'm going to eat you tonight!"

Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows,
"You had a fight with that old monk?" Shijie nodded.

"…I accidentally let him see the devil in me…"

After a pause he said,

"That old monk was also very cunning. He remained calm and talked to me about the sutras and Buddhism all the time. But one night, he actually played a trick on me..."

The old monk made some kind of incense and lit it in the meditation room. He then invited the young monk to come and preach. The two of them talked for half the night. By the time the young monk realized something was wrong, it was too late.

"Luckily... I had the elixir made by Master Pu on me when I came out. After I took it, most of the toxicity was suppressed, and then I escaped. He chased me out, and I fought and fled. Finally, I found an opportunity near this mountain village and severely injured him. He escaped, but I was too weak to escape, so I could only hide here..."

After saying this, he looked at Gu Shiyi with gratitude.

"Luckily you're here!"

Gu Shiyi frowned.

"You really didn't eat anyone?"

Monk Shijie nodded and licked his tongue with a look of regret.
"I was poisoned and injured. I wanted to eat humans, but he didn't allow me to..."

The "I and him" in the little monk's mouth,
Of course, I am not referring to my devilish nature and my Buddha nature.
He glanced at Gu Shiyi.
"He told me that if we eat humans, we will never be able to go back, so I only ate the blood of chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs and other animals. However... after today, I'm afraid he won't be able to control me anymore!"

We are all going to die, why bother about whether we eat people or not!
Gu Shiyi secretly thought that he was lucky.

"Luckily I followed you all the way here... Let's go back first and figure it out later!"

The two returned to the secret realm. Pu Yanlan was also surprised to see the monk Shijie, and hurriedly took out the elixir for him to take.
"You have been poisoned by the Demonic Erosion Poison, which is a poison used by Buddhists to deal with demons..."

Monk Shijie said angrily,
"I had no ill will towards that old monk. I just wanted to discuss Buddhism with him, but he killed me. I will take revenge on him after I recover from my injuries!"

Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan looked at each other, and Gu Shiyi laughed.
"Master Shijie, I'm afraid you can't avenge your vengeance. We have already found a place to go and we will practice elsewhere. As for your vengeance... we can wait until we meet again in the future!"

Monk Shijie also knew that the two were punished by the heavens of this world. Hearing this, he gritted his teeth and hesitated for a while before saying,

"Forget it, I'll go with you!"

Gu Shiyi laughed and flashed out of the secret realm, but she did not leave immediately. She searched again within a hundred miles around the mountain village, but could not find any trace of the old monk. She had to ride on a gust of evil wind and return to Liuguang City.

When she arrived at Liuguang City and met Huang Tianming, Huang Tianming led her into the underworld without saying a word. Gu Shiyi suppressed her demonic aura, took the ghost pill given by Pu Yanlan, disguised herself as a tall and ferocious-looking ghost, and mixed into the team. Led by Cui Renyuan himself, the team took the ghosts to board the boat in Wangchuan and took the water route into the underworld of the twenty-three realms of Haoguang.

As soon as they entered the underworld over there, Gu Shiyi disappeared quietly in the team, while Cui Renyuan greeted the ghost messenger who was in charge of the other side with a normal expression. After counting the number of people, he lent all the ghost messengers to the underworld of Haoguang Twenty-Three Realms. Gu Shiyi grabbed a little ghost, asked about the whereabouts of the Yin-Yang Road, hid his breath, and went to the Ghost Gate. When he arrived at the Ghost Gate, he found the city gate was wide open. After collecting a group of new souls who had just died, Gu Shiyi took the opportunity to slip out of the city gate and rushed out of the entrance of the Yin-Yang Road in one breath. His eyes blurred, and it was already a bright and clear world!

Gee!

Gu Shiyi looked around and found himself in a garden with a fragrant smell. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the garden was located in a luxurious palace complex. Judging from the appearance of the garden, it was either in a large sect or in the home of an emperor!

He was looking around, wondering whether he should fly away immediately, when he saw a large group of concubines in gorgeous clothes with bare arms and shoulders coming towards him. Behind them were many people dressed as palace maids and eunuchs.
"Oh... I see, this is the palace of the emperor of the world!"

Gu Shiyi clicked his tongue a few times.

"The brain circuits of the underworld here are really wild. They actually built the Yin-Yang Road in the emperor's residence. Aren't they afraid of being suppressed by the dragon energy?"

The emperor of the human world is a very important existence in the way of heaven. Although he does not know magic and has no Taoism, he is the destiny of the human race. As long as the human race exists, he will exist!
Of course, this "he" does not refer to a single person, but to all emperors who are born according to destiny. No matter who he is, the emperor of the world is protected by the destiny of the entire human race, so the place where he lives should be bright and upright, isolated from the Yin energy. The underworld will definitely not open a Yin-Yang Road here. If even the underworld opens a Yin-Yang Road here, it means that the destiny of the owner here cannot be any lower, and the emperor's throne is already shaky, and it will fall down with a slight push from a child!
Gee!

Gu Shiyi shook his head and looked at those concubines who were twisting their postures. He could tell at a glance that many of them were born with seductive bodies. Any man on earth would be killed if he met one of them, let alone several of them. Even an emperor who was protected by dragon energy could not bear it!

Gu Shiyi laughed and walked towards the group of concubines with his hands behind his back. As he approached, he could smell the fragrance and see the plump breasts and buttocks. Gu Shiyi appeared among the concubines in a flash. The beauties were unaware of her and continued to talk and laugh. Only one of them, a particularly plump and charming woman, turned her head and took a look, feeling suspicious.

"Why did a strange wind blow by my side just now? My skirt didn't flutter, and my hairpin didn't move, but I felt a chill in my heart!"

Naturally she would feel cold, as Gu Shiyi still carried the negative energy from the underworld!
