Zhutian: My skills are not serious

"What?" Chu Pingsheng asked knowingly.

"Pretending to be confused, huh?"

"Well, this time I went south, visited Yunzhou, and then went to the South China Sea. I finally found the material for making soul-calling banners on Silkworm Island, Netherworld Silk... Oh, by the way, I killed a sixth-grade clam spirit on the way back."

As he spoke, a round, flawless pearl that emitted a hazy glow appeared in his hand. It was a circle larger than a duck egg.

Li Ru's face immediately lit up with joy, she snatched the pearl from his hand, and stared at it with shining eyes, in a dilemma. Small pearls were easy to deal with, they could be used to make a necklace or a hairpin, but it was a problem what to do with such a big treasure.

She frowned and thought for a few breaths, then reacted immediately. She put the pearl in her arms, not caring whether her clothes were bulging or whether it would ruin her image as a virtuous woman. She returned to her angry tigress look: "Don't play tricks on me. I'm asking about you and Princess Lin'an. I don't believe you haven't heard the rumors."

Chu Pingsheng scratched his slightly itchy nose and said with a smile: "This... seems to be a matter between me and her, right?"

What does this mean? It's simple. It has nothing to do with her.

Li Ru was stunned. She sorted out the logic of the matter. Whether the monk slept with Princess Lin'an together or something else, it really had little to do with her as a married woman. She had no right to force him to respond.

Da da da……

At this moment there was a knock on the back door.

"Mom, it's me."

Li Ru walked over with a dark face and opened the door.

Xu Lingyue seemed to have expected this to happen. Without saying a word, she just stood in front of him and looked at him aggrievedly.

This is premarital cold violence!

Chu Pingsheng looked at his mother who had a questioning look on her face, then at his daughter who looked pitiful, and he sighed deeply.

"Alas, as the saying goes, a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. I didn't want to tell you, but now that things have turned out like this, I won't hide it from you."

He cleared his throat slightly.

"Didn't I tell you? I came to the capital to avenge Pingyang."

The mother and daughter nodded together.

"You all know about the murder of the entire family in the Pingyuan Marquis's mansion?"

The mother and daughter looked at each other and nodded again.

"Yes, I did it." Chu Pingsheng said, "When interrogating Pingyuan Bo and the Minister of War, they confessed everything to me. The plot to murder me and Pingyang... was masterminded by someone else."

"Someone else? Who?"

"Yuan Jing."

Yuan Jing?

Li Ru stammered and pointed upwards: "Your Majesty?"

"That's right." Chu Pingsheng said, "In order to prevent Pingyang's father, Prince Yu, from entering the cabinet, he used my relationship with Pingyang."

After hearing this, Li Ru and Xu Lingyue understood that the reason why Wang Zhenwen became the prime minister was because he helped the emperor do the dirty work and became a knife in Yuan Jing's hand.

Chu Pingsheng continued, "In addition, Earl Pingyuan also told me an important piece of information. He said that the Yazi organization he managed was ostensibly engaged in the human population business, but in fact it was supplying healthy people to Yuan Jing to help him practice magic. This matter is of great importance, and this is one-sided statements from Earl Pingyuan and the Minister of War. For the sake of caution, I planned to conduct an in-depth investigation. It happened that Princess Huaiqing sent someone to invite me to meet her at Huairenju, so I took the opportunity to agree to be her guest poet and visit her more often."

"Later, I learned that the person who had the best relationship with Pingyang was Princess Lin'an, and that Lin'an was deeply loved by Yuan Jing. So, through Princess Huaiqing's relationship, I got to know Concubine Chen in the palace, who was Princess Lin'an's mother. My sister's necklace and Lingyue's hairpin were gifts from her after I helped her a lot."

"After establishing a good relationship with Concubine Chen, it was not difficult to gain Lin'an's trust. One time, Lin'an mentioned the story of Princess Yu, saying that Princess Yu had been in a bad mental state since her daughter disappeared and her husband passed away. I took the opportunity to teach her some methods to calm her mind. Later, during the Sangpo Festival, the Sword of the Nation moved strangely and saved her life. To express her gratitude, she gave me the Buddhist beads that Prince Yu used at the beginning, which were said to be a reward from Yuan Jing, as a thank-you gift."

Chu Pingsheng took out the string of skull beads and slightly circulated his internal energy. A wisp of grey gas emerged from the surface of the beads and slowly formed a three-headed ghost in the air. The room was suddenly filled with a strong cold wind. The mother and daughter were so scared that they kept backing away. Li Ru even knocked over the armchair for entertaining guests.

"Princess Yu doesn't know the materials used to make the rosary, but I know. Thirty-six of the 108 beads in this rosary are made of human bones."

Human bone Buddhist beads?!
After he said this, the mother and daughter's faces became even uglier.

"After I got it back, I found something hidden inside. I didn't know what it was at first, until I encountered the ancient corpse spirit that was reborn from a trace of the residual soul in the remains of the Taoist Master in Xu Qian'an's lost tomb. Combined with the murals in the corridor of the ancient tomb, I finally figured out what happened."

Chu Pingsheng's voice became deeper and deeper: "This three-headed evil creature is actually a freak formed by the fusion of the wronged souls of Yuan Jing, Prince Huai, and Prince Yu."

! ! ! ! ! !
The brains of both mother and daughter tend to malfunction.

"Now I know that these three royal brothers have been possessed by the devil. For a Taoist to advance to the first rank, he needs a lot of luck. Speaking of luck, what better choice is there than to become the emperor? If you don't believe this, you can ask Xu Qian'an. The murals in the Xiangcheng ancient tomb clearly record how the Taoist master usurped the throne of the Daliang Dynasty in order to advance further."

"Back to the question of Yuan Jing becoming a demon. Although I had suspicions before, I was not sure. Before I left the capital, I was ambushed by the demons and the Wushen Cult at the Qinglong Temple. You all know about this. At that time, I saved Luo Yuheng, the leader of the Human Sect. Didn't I tell you before? I practiced the Tianzong technique, and Luo Yuheng practiced the Human Sect technique. The karmic fire that she suffered from was the best antidote for me."

"At that time, she was beaten by the enemy and her body was burned by fire. I absorbed some of it to balance the Tianzong Taoism. You should have heard that Yuan Jing has been coveting the imperial master for a long time. Luo Yuheng was unwilling to be his fairy concubine, and did not want to break up with the royal family, so she used me as a shield to deceive Yuan Jing, and also fabricated rumors that I broke her body with the Buddhist Joy Zen."

"In order to 'break up' my relationship with Luo Yuheng, Yuan Jing plans to send Princess Huaiqing to me as my consort to complete the Heavenly Domain's plan to create a god. You know who I am better than anyone else. I am just a monk from the Qinglong Temple who came to the capital for revenge. I am not a high monk from the Heavenly Domain. The reason I borrowed this identity is mainly to investigate the murderer behind Pingyang's death and to make the Supervisor be cautious and not interfere in this matter."

"You know who I am, but Princess Lin'an doesn't. Her brother is the crown prince. From her perspective, if Huaiqing married into the Heavenly Domain as the Buddha Mother, it would definitely affect the political structure of Dafeng, and the position of the crown prince would be in jeopardy. In desperation, she put an aphrodisiac in the wine she gave me. Because of the Tianzong technique, you all know that I cannot control my seven emotions and six desires. The karma fire that was sucked out of the National Master's body and has not been refined yet took the opportunity to cause chaos, so there was the absurd incident that night."

"After that, Lin'an destroyed his own reputation and spread the story. You all know what happened next."

After finishing this extremely long but logically complete speech, he sighed heavily.

The mother and daughter looked at each other in silence.

Compared to just now, Li Ru's anger was gone.

Chu Pingsheng said: "I didn't want you to know about this. After all, I will not let Yuan Jing go. The most difficult situation is that I face the entire Dafeng alone. Now you still blame me for not telling you the truth and leaving Beijing and heading south without explaining it clearly?"

Li Ru: “…”

Xu Lingyue: "I don't want to practice meditation anymore... Please... teach me some magic."

"why?"

"I want to help you kill the Dog Emperor."

Li Ru quickly covered her daughter's mouth and said, "Keep your voice down. You're going to die."

Chu Pingsheng added: "I said that one person fighting against a country is the most difficult situation. If the fact that Emperor Yuan Jing, Prince Huai, and Prince Yu were killed by the Demon Dao is exposed, I think the Imperial Observatory will not stay out of it. The most important thing at the moment is to find out the identity of the Demon Dao. I always feel that it is related to the Wushen Cult."

"Is anyone home?"

"Is anyone home?"

The sound came from the yard!

Li Ru shuddered and turned pale with fear, but then she thought again, that's not right, it's impossible that the guards would come to question her daughter right after she said she wanted to kill the dog emperor. She quickly calmed herself down and went to open the door, only to see a man standing in the yard with his back to the public, wearing a white robe and holding a folding fan.

"Who... who are you looking for?"

Swish, the folding fan opens.

"The astronomical sorcerer Yang Qianhuan has arrived as promised!"

"Ling Yue just...just said something nonsense, you guys can't..."

Li Ru's legs began to tremble. She was terrified. She thought back to when Xu Pingzhi lost the tax silver, his whole family was imprisoned and awaiting beheading. Now Xu Lingyue threatened to kill the dog emperor. The situation was even worse than the case of losing the tax silver. The main criminals would be beheaded? The others would be exiled? That was still considered a light punishment. Treason would lead to the execution of the entire clan.

Chu Pingsheng walked out of the main room.

"Don't panic, sister. He is here to see me."

"Thank you for what happened to Junior Sister Zhong." Yang Qianhuan said, "The old man asked me to give it to you."

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

Two beams of white light shot out and stopped in front of Chu Pingsheng.

"Oh, by the way, Junior Brother Song will give you a treasure for free as a token of his gratitude."

Yang Qianhuan reached into his arms again and again, took out a book and threw it over.

Chu Pingsheng took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. When he saw the four words "Alchemy Laws" on the cover, his face turned a little dark.

"Study hard. I have high hopes for you. If you have any questions, you can come to the Sitianjian for advice. Since you have given my junior sister a great opportunity, I can consider not charging you tuition."

After Yang Qianhuan finished pretending to be awesome, he disappeared in a flash. "Burn it."

Chu Pingsheng threw the book to Li Ru.

"Eh? Did you burn... burn the gift that the master from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau gave you?"

"..."

Chu Pingsheng did not answer her question. He turned around the screen and went to the backyard.

Xu Lingyue took the book from her mother, which was regarded as a treasure by the sorcerer of the Sitianjian, and flipped through the contents inside and said, "This handwriting looks so familiar, like... it was written by my eldest brother?"

Li Ru took a closer look and found that it was just as her daughter said.

As everyone knows, Xu Qian'an's handwriting is extremely ugly.

……

After dinner, Chu Pingsheng took Youji, Yeji and Qingji the little fox to the backyard to rest. Xu Lingyue and Li Ru were washing dishes in the front yard. One of them was thinking about finding a reason to be alone with the monk master to vent his lovesickness for the past few days. The other one was cursing and complaining that her man was useless. During the meal, her eyes never left Youji's big treasures until she drank the porridge into her nostrils and almost choked to death.

squeak...

With a slight sound, the gate opened.

"Second brother? Why are you back so late? Have you eaten?" Xu Lingyue's words woke Li Ru up. When she looked up, it was indeed the second son of the Xu family. He was carrying a classic green bag with small flowers on it and standing under a lantern with the word "Xu" written on it at the door.

"No." Xu Xinnian walked into the yard, raised his head, and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle: "Where is the monk who performed the ceremony?"

Xu Lingyue held the bowl and asked, "Second brother, how did you know that Master is back?"

"It's not just me. In one afternoon, the whole city knew that the dirty monk who deceived Princess Lin'an's feelings has returned." Xu Xinnian said, "Lingyue, you are not allowed to call this kind of person Master in the future. It's a shame. Remember, he is a big liar! Letting him live here is a shame for our Xu family."

Xu Lingyue: “…”

She didn't say anything, but her face looked a little cold. She couldn't understand what was wrong with her second brother and why he was always picking on the monk.

Li Ru said, "You didn't even have dinner and rushed home just for this? Okay, we got it, let's go back."

Hearing his mother's cold response, Xu Xinnian was stunned for a moment, and said excitedly: "Mom, why don't you understand? He is a disaster. Keeping him at home will only bring shame to our Xu family. We must kick him out today."

Xu Lingyue looked at him with a pitiful look in her eyes: "Brother, you are the one who doesn't understand."

"how do I……"

Xu Xinnian couldn't open his mouth before he could finish his sentence, because Li Ru picked up a half-dried cloth shoe under the eaves and spanked her son on the butt.

"Get out of here. Get out of here."

"Ouch, mom, why did you hit me?" Xu Xinnian cried out in pain and shrank back, but was chased to the door by Li Ru.

"You are not allowed to go home until the Autumn Examination is over."

With a bang, Li Ru closed the door directly.

"mother……"

"father……"

Xu Xinnian stood outside the door for a long time, not knowing what he had done wrong. Was this the way a mother should treat her son? Was this right? Was it right?!
Just a few steps away from the stairs, the neighbor's dog with four short legs ran to the door and barked at him.

Xu Xinnian ran away, sighing and groaning as he ran, even a dog wanted to bully him.

……

Although Chu Pingsheng lived in the backyard, he knew very well what happened in the front yard, but he didn't take it to heart at all. I don't know how many times Xu Xinnian, that idiot, will have to shoot himself in the foot before he learns his lesson.

Rather than...

Find an opportunity to add fuel to the fire and let him know that Xu Lingyue has slept with him?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder. This bad taste... is unacceptable.

"are you cold?"

At this time, he heard Fuxiang's voice from behind. Turning back, he found that the fox beauty had washed herself clean and was lying on the bed waiting for him. Her furry tail stretched out of the quilt, flapping the edge of the bed again and again.

"You're very proactive today."

"I haven't thanked you properly for what happened to my elder sister yet."

"Too."

All the way north from Candao, they either had Zhong Li as a light bulb, or Xu Qian'an, Chu Yuanzhen and others who were in the way, so there was no chance to have a good intimate time.

"But not now, just be patient and wait for a while."

Chu Pingsheng smiled at her, pushed open the door and entered the quiet room that Li Ru had specially prepared for him. He sat cross-legged on the yellow silk cushion in the middle and took out the things that Yang Qianhuan had given him, the method for refining the soul-calling flag and two magic array diagrams.

In fact, after Fuxiang was kidnapped by him from Yingmei Pavilion, the people of the demon clan went to the place where Pingyang was buried to dig up her bones, hoping to mess with his mentality. However, they returned empty-handed because he had hidden Pingyang's bones long ago. Because the upgraded Great Heavenly Saint Danxin magic can turn bones into flesh, when the time is right, he will bring the immortal baby's body to the world of Dafeng Night Watchmen, restore her body first, and then use the effect of the Seven Absolute Shadowless Evil to transplant a soul into it, so that "Pingyang" can be brought back to life, and Princess Yu can have a daughter of his own.

However, in the actual operation process, he discovered an unexpected situation. The magic weapon that helped Pingyang suppress his breath and escape the tracking of the sorcerer of the Sitianjian was the bracelet that Henghui stole from the Qinglong Temple. Since it was a magic weapon, it had a certain spirituality. When inspecting the bracelet, he noticed that Pingyang's soul was left on it.

This is actually very easy to understand. Although Pingyang committed suicide, he was betrayed by someone he trusted. He committed suicide to preserve his innocence, so he must have been harboring resentment. In this case, it is difficult for the soul to be reborn, so it is normal for it to be attached to the bracelet.

Since human souls cannot enter the underworld, then the heavenly soul and the earthly soul must be wandering between heaven and earth. All we need to do is refine a soul-calling flag, call back her three souls, and implant them into her body, and we can resurrect her.

In order to refine the soul-calling flag, in addition to the technical support provided by the Sitianjian, four main materials are also needed: the nails of ancient corpses, the corpse water of ancient corpses, the netherworld silk and the ringing gold stone.

Now that the first three items have been collected, only the Mingjin Stone is left, and the whereabouts of the Mingjin Stone...

Wushen Cult!
At this moment, King Zhenbei must have killed all the people in Chuzhou City.

After finishing the business in the capital, it’s time to travel to the north.

Next he took another look at the thing on his right - the question he had given to the Imperial Observatory.

As early as when he was in the world of Snow Blade, he was researching a weapon, the Flying General strategic bomber. However, he could not figure out the detonating talisman array after many experiments, because its nature was very unstable and it would explode if not handled with care. This made his idea of ​​putting the Seven Deadly Shadowless Evils inside impossible to realize.

He believed that the world of Snow Blade had not made much progress in developing things like battle formations. In comparison, the sorcerers of the night watchmen of Dafeng had a more complete knowledge reserve and should be able to solve this problem. So he threw the question to Yang Qianhuan before taking Zhong Li away.

The Sitianjian lived up to his trust, and the master and his disciples worked together to solve his problem. Now they only have to wait for the Flying General to return so that they can launch the strategic bomber program.

"and this."

He flipped his hand and the Divine Wood King Cauldron appeared in front of him. As the lid opened, a chill filled the room.

At this moment, there was only a spider left in the cauldron. It was completely black and had no colorful patterns. Its body had suddenly grown to be two times larger than an adult's fist, and its eyes had increased from two to three, especially the one in the middle. Looking at it for a few more seconds would make people lose their mind.

If you observe more carefully, you will find that the originally furry eight legs have become very much like elongated black silkworms, reflecting bright light when the candlelight flickers.

Since the last Gu King is a spider, then...

An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he tried to stretch out his fingers, using the mental method he learned from Yin Li in the world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, preparing to practice the Thousand Spiders and Ten Thousand Poisonous Hands.

This little... No, the big spider grabbed his finger and bit it.

Not bitten through.

"This attack power is not good."

Chu Pingsheng made a joke, summoned the purple gold Zhanlu sword, released a layer of sword energy, and then a spiral force, and hit the finger hard, piercing the skin on his own initiative. The big spider then bit the wound, and the icy feeling invaded his body, along with an indescribable numbness.

Yeah, it's quite comfortable.

Of course, this is only him. If it were someone else, not to mention that this cold air can not only freeze the body, but also seal the soul, the black spider alone... let's call it the Nether Spider, the venom of the Nether Spider alone is so toxic that it can send a third-grade warrior who claims to have an immortal body to see the King of Hell, because its poison can not only damage the nervous system, but is also highly corrosive and infectious, which can prevent a third-grade warrior from using his abundant qi and blood to regenerate his body.

The Nether Spider bit his finger and continued to inject poison. After about half an incense stick of time, it showed signs of fatigue, released its legs that were holding his finger, and slowly crawled back to the Shenmu King Cauldron to recuperate.

Chu Pingsheng felt that there was a strange qi in his body, which was black when he looked inside. It was incompatible with the Dahuangting and Nine Yin Nine Yang qi in the lower dantian, the Yi Jin Jing qi and Bei Ming qi in the middle dantian, and the Changsheng Jue qi and Yuhuanglou qi in the upper dantian also rejected it. He had no choice but to send this strange qi with super toxicity into the outer dantian of the Purple Gold Zhanlu Sword.

"It's a pity that there is only this one Nether Spider. It will take at least five or six months to rely on it to practice the upgraded version of Thousand Spiders and Ten Thousand Poison Hands to perfection." (End of this chapter)
