Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 423: Unfurling the Star Flag Again

The banks of Lingshui River.

Feng Qingyan suddenly looked upstream.

Just now he vaguely felt a strange breath.

This sudden strange aura was most likely the second forbidden mountain ghost. Without any hesitation, he immediately rushed over with the black pottery flowerpot in his hand.

"Chu Ci, follow me closely. Don't be too far away from me."

Feng Qingyan said as he flew, and in the blink of an eye he had already traveled several miles. Then, he flew several miles and stopped, and when he saw a few figures lying on the shore, he walked over.

Before he got close, he knew the man was dead.

At this time, he looked carefully and found that none of them had any wounds on their bodies, but there was a look of panic on their faces.

Was it done by a mountain ghost?
Feng Qingyan looked around, but he was not completely sure.

But who else could it be except the mountain ghost? All of these dead people were left with only empty shells, their souls devoured.

"Mountain ghosts feed on souls..."

Feng Qingyan muttered to himself and then looked at the red spider lily.

At this time, the red spider lily pointed to the southwest, and Feng Qingyan's figure flashed suddenly, and he took the red spider lily to the southwest, but he did not find any trace of the mountain ghost. But then, the direction of the red spider lily suddenly pointed to the southeast, which made Feng Qingyan frown.

The mountain ghost's whereabouts are mysterious and it may be difficult to track it.

Moreover, he suppressed the "taboo" with the bronze coffin, not with his own strength.

After a while, Feng Qingyan returned to the group. Since the mountain ghost had been able to hide all this time, why did it suddenly attack now?
What's the reason?
provocative?

Feng Qingyan frowned.

Since the mountain ghost appeared here, it must be able to sense the breath of the river soul, but it did not go to find the river soul.

It seemed that it was aware of his existence and knew that he had the means to suppress it.

So I dare not come.

But now that the mountain ghost has started to devour souls, I can’t endure it any longer and will definitely devour souls again.

This way he would be able to better lock onto the mountain ghost, but it would also cause some unnecessary casualties.

At this time, Feng Qingyan moved several corpses onto their carriage and let the horses take them back...

Not long after, night fell again. Feng Qingyan said to the river soul following behind him: "Chu Ci, if I can't get there in time, you can go to the academy or Xusheng Mansion upstream. They will protect you. Do you understand?"

"clear."

The river soul replied with a line of words.

"Since you like playing hide-and-seek with me so much, I will play with you to my heart's content."

Feng Qingyan said in a deep voice, then he disappeared into the night with the black pottery flowerpot, but he left some things behind when he left.

At this time, a faint shadow appeared outside the academy, hiding in the darkness and looking at the academy. Although it was not afraid of the academy or the Xusheng Mansion, Bocheng was becoming the center of scholars in the north...

Then there must be someone who can find its traces.

It appeared, but did not dare to show itself because it was afraid of the existence of the bronze coffin.

The bronze coffin can ignore all the power of taboos and can even suppress them directly, leaving them with no power to resist.

This is an existence that defies the will of heaven.

But now, it has begun to devour souls, and it can no longer bear it. The souls of scholars are especially delicious, making it difficult to resist the temptation of the taste of souls.

It is best to have a soul at the level of a great scholar or above.

Although the most delicious ones are souls like mountain souls and river souls, the river soul is protected by that person, so it dares not move rashly. It dares to swallow the souls of ten great sages, but it dares not move the soul of the river soul, which is simply seeking death.

The blood queen has been suppressed.

It must have known it long ago, otherwise it would not have hidden itself as soon as it appeared.

Originally, it wanted to secretly swallow the river soul, but who knew that the man suddenly appeared and guarded for several days in a row, as if he had discovered its existence.

However, it couldn't bear to part with the river soul...

In the Xusheng Palace, the Grand Master frowned slightly and looked towards the downstream of the Lingshui River. At that moment, he seemed to sense the presence of some terrifying being.

At his current level, the only word that can be used to describe him is "terrifying", and probably the only word left is "taboo".

More than a month ago, Feng Sheng had said that the second taboo had been revealed. But whether it was Taiblantai or Sanfenshan, no one could deduce the second taboo.

So it ended up in nothing.

At this time he flew out from Xusheng Palace, stood in the night sky, and stared at the lower reaches of Lingshui River.

The terrifying aura disappeared.

illusion?

The master of ceremonies frowned.

For a being of his level, there is almost no chance of illusion.

He pondered for a moment, then immediately sent a letter back to the holy land by flying bird, asking Sanfenshan to deduce again whether the second taboo had been revealed.

Although the "taboo" can be suppressed by the Lord in White, the emergence of the "taboo" will still bring great disasters to the world. For example, the "taboo" Blood Queen of the Mountain and Sea Realm was suppressed by the Lord in White as soon as she was born, but it still caused great disasters to the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Countless Taoist disciples died.

Moreover, most of the end of the mountain and sea world was destroyed by the "taboo".

Not long after the blue bird flew away, he stood in the night sky and listened to the great ceremony. His mind was suddenly shocked. At this moment, he seemed to be stared at by some terrifying existence, which made him feel cold all over, even his body was frozen and he couldn't move.

“Taboo!”

The devil's night has not yet arrived.

With the second taboo lifted, nothing could scare him.

At this time, he saw a pair of eyes staring at him more than a hundred miles downstream in the Lingshui River, but he could not see clearly what they were.

And his body really couldn't move.

He seemed to be fixed by something, which made him extremely terrified.

Moreover, he also felt his soul beating violently, as if it was about to jump out of his flesh and blood body and leave him.

There seemed to be a strange force permeating the world, pulling at his soul bit by bit, trying to pull his soul out of his body.

At this moment, Dong Lou Hui, who was in the back hall of the academy, suddenly stiffened as if he was fixed in place and unable to move.

He also felt a terrible and strange force pulling at his soul.

“Taboo!”

This was Dong Lou Hui’s first thought.

Only taboos have such terrible and strange power.

"teacher?"

At this time, An Xiu found that Dong Lou Hui seemed to be a little strange, so he asked him. However, Dong Lou Hui remained motionless, looking a little horrified.

An Xiu's expression suddenly changed.

"Unfurl the flag!"

An Xiu shouted.

This made Bai Houyuan, who was in charge of guarding the gate of the academy, tremble all over. It took him a moment to come back to his senses and immediately flew towards the Star Flag.

The teachers, students, and others in the academy were all shocked.

What happened?

Why did the dean suddenly unfurl the flag?
In Confucianism, there are three main powerful flags. The first is the Star Flag, which is mainly owned by the Eighty-one Academy. The second is the Star and Moon Flag, which is owned by the Three Palaces and Six Officials. The third is the Sun, Moon and Star Flag, which is the Three Star Flag.

The Sanchen Flag is a Confucian flag, held by the leader.
