Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Captain Zhang Long thought of his master at this moment.

His master, a great cultivator in the Spirit Severing stage, once slashed out with an extremely brilliant sword energy in front of him. With one strike of the sword, he cut off the head of a dragon of the same level of cultivation!

From then on, he was determined to become a swordsman.

But now, compared with the sword energy in front of him, the sword energy that his master had used at the beginning was simply fancy and had no power at all.

scoff!

The female ghost's body could not withstand the sword energy slashed out by Song Qian, and collapsed with a bang.

It was like a balloon was blown to the extreme and burst with a bang!

"Fucking retarded!"

Victoria Song muttered and cursed.

It was a rare opportunity for Song Qingtian to try a wrongful conviction and fulfill her role as a judge, but she ended up meeting a mentally retarded person, which disappointed her greatly.

On the other side, Yao Yue was holding a somewhat illusory ghost baby spirit in her hand. The little ghost was still a little unconvinced. With its scarlet eyes wide open, it suddenly opened its mouth and bit Yao Yue's hand.

then.

Click.

The little ghost's teeth, which were condensed by the evil spirit, shattered with a snap.

Yao Yue exclaimed.

This kid has something.

He was able to open his mouth and bite people after being pinched by her. This in itself was very unusual. Among ghost cultivators, this was considered a rare talent!

She raised her hand and pointed at the ghost's forehead. The next moment, the little ghost's face, which was originally ferocious, gradually calmed down. Yao Yue waved her hand casually, and the baby spirit bowed to her, then merged into the wall and disappeared.

Yao Yue didn't pay much attention to the puppet she collected. Instead, she walked to her husband's side and took a look at the compass in his hand.

After seeing the new task her husband had accepted on the compass, she smiled.

"Husband, does making nests really work?"

Song Xuan nodded, and there was a smile in his voice. "The new champion's dynasty luck is truly extraordinary. As long as it is handled properly, it is indeed easy to trigger new tasks.

Although the merit points are not much, they are stable and large in amount.

It's a pity that this randomly triggered mission can only be taken by one person. It's not easy to get the merit and the fortune compass!"

Although Song Xuan had only experienced this one incident, he had a rough guess in his mind.

The Fortune Compass has its own operating rules. It is not impossible to take advantage of the dynasty's fortune, but it must be kept within a reasonable and controllable range. Killing the evil spirits who have ill intentions towards the new number one scholar and maintaining the order of the dynasty are all within the scope of what is allowed by the Fortune Compass.

As for using the newly crowned number one scholar Ning Caichen as a pretext to deliberately trigger the task, for the time being, it is not prohibited by the Fortune Compass.

Chapter 614: The news is released, the new top scholar has arrived!

More than 500 miles northwest of the city, there is a Black Wind Mountain. On the Black Wind Mountain, there is a tomb of thousands of graves.

Suddenly, two deep voices were heard in the eerie tomb.

"Something happened at Wanzhen Tower. Someone went in and left alive!"

"Isn't that the place where you sacrificed your wife and children and practiced the Wrathful Soul Curse? Is there going to be trouble?"

"probably not."

"The vengeful spirits of your wife and children are sealed there. If they escape, you might be in trouble."

"There won't be any trouble!"

The voice was silent for a moment, then continued, "The mark I left in her soul vanished after just a few breaths. Clearly, she was killed instantly!"

"Oh? Those are your beloved wife and son. You can kill them, but how can someone else kill them... Do you want revenge?"

"No! The information transmitted back from the mark is very little, but I can sense that the opponent is very terrifying. If I were there at the time, I would probably be killed instantly!"

"I see. Life is unpredictable. Please accept my condolences, brother. It won't be too late to practice the Wrathful Soul Curse again next time you meet the right woman!"

"That's true... I need to be away for a few days to find a suitable furnace. You have to keep a close eye on this place... Master Black Mountain is about to be born, so nothing can go wrong!"

...

The next morning.

After Ning Caichen and the frightened servant had breakfast, they followed Song Xuan and others on the road again.

This time, they did not ride in Song Qian's bronze coffin. Song Xuan got them two horses, and the two of them rode on the horses and left the city in the morning glow.

As for Song Xuan and his companions, they were following from a distance of several miles away and had no intention of getting close at all.

By now, Ning Caichen had finally come to his senses.

It turned out that he, a newly crowned top scholar, was used as bait by Captain Song.

As for what kind of fish they want to catch, that remains to be seen. The Imperial City Bureau deals with those evil creatures. Apart from that, what else could it be?

Although he felt a little unhappy, Ning Caichen didn't say much on the surface.

The mission he accepted was to escort him back home. As long as he could safely send the person to the destination, the mission would be considered completed. As for what happened along the way and how the escort was used, it was not something a weak scholar like him could ask for.

far away,

Song Xuan and Song Qian were eating melon seeds.

Yao Yue was standing aside, holding a fruit knife that she had gotten from somewhere, and was leisurely peeling an apple.

Gu Daoyi shrunk his body to the height of a normal person, got a donkey cart, waved the whip and hummed a song in front, pretending to be a coachman. From his appearance, he seemed to be very satisfied with the role of the coachman.

Wan Jianyi and the two centurions were dressed like bodyguards, looking around but not daring to look at Song Xuan.

It's not that I'm afraid of anything, but I really can't stand seeing Lord Song enjoying the scenery with a beauty by his side.

Oh my, my wife has to cut the apple into pieces before feeding it to her mouth. It’s so unbearable to watch!

How could he be so young and unable to even lift his hands? This kidney deficiency is too pitiful, isn't it?

After muttering a few sour words to himself, Wan Jianyi, Gu Daoyi and the others started chatting out of boredom.

"The female ghost in the haunted building yesterday seemed to have an unusual origin."

"She is quite extraordinary. Even though she may not be very smart, her cultivation level should have been quite high when she was alive. She was most likely a great cultivator in the Spiritual Severing Stage."

"A great monk, having his body and mind destroyed, has become neither human nor ghost. That's quite tragic."

"She has the aura of a curse. An evil cultivator is using her to practice some terrible evil spell."

"We've ruined that evil cultivator's plans. I wonder if he'll come looking for revenge."

Gu Daoyi smiled and said, "Isn't this the effect that the adults want..."

As he spoke, he glanced towards Yao Yue's position and whispered, "The infant spirit that Madam left behind was probably waiting for someone to come and seek revenge."

Wan Jianyi and the others nodded seriously.

Now that you mention it, it's really possible.

As expected of a couple, they have so many complicated thoughts.

At this moment, Song Xuan suddenly turned around, startling Captain Zhang. But he saw the master speak gently, "You two are considered local tyrants in Jiangcheng County. Do you have any informants among the evil cultivators?"

"Informant?"

Song Xuan gave a brief explanation, and Captain Zhang suddenly realized, "There are no informants, but there are a few traitors with connections to evil cultivators and who are disloyal to their own people. There are a few of them in the Hundred Households Office."

Song Xuan instructed: "Contact them and tell them that you are carrying out an important mission and cannot return in the short term. They will be responsible for the work of the Hundred Households Office for the time being.

Remember, when assigning work, you can complain appropriately about how difficult the task is and accidentally reveal the situation of Ning Caichen, the new top scholar.

In short, we must make them believe that by absorbing Ning Caichen's Yang Qi and refining his Haoran Qi, they will have a great chance of breaking through to the Fusion Realm!"

Captain Zhang was dumbfounded.

Sir Qianhu, you are afraid that others will cause trouble to you!

"Sir, if this is the case, it won't be long before the great demons and evil spirits throughout Jiangcheng County will get the news. By then, we'll probably be facing a bunch of great demons and devils who want to enter the fusion realm!"

Song Xuan laughed heartily, "I'm not afraid of them coming, I'm just afraid of them not coming!"

Victoria Song echoed, "My Shura Sword is thirsty for food! Those big demons are so fat, if we kill a few of them, the spoils will be enough for us to use for a long time!"

That’s right, brother, isn’t your method a bit too crude?

You're fishing with a straight hook, will those big monsters take the bait?"

"Sometimes, the more complicated a plan is, the better it is. The more meticulous and complex a plan appears to be, the more likely it is to go wrong."

Song Xuan explained: "This is not a strategy, I am just spreading the news openly, telling them directly that it is up to you to come or not!

If it succeeds, there is a chance to advance to the fusion realm. If it fails, it will be a wasted trip.

If you were them, would you come?"

Victoria Song suddenly realized, "Of course I'll come! This is related to my future, how can I be content if I don't come and see it with my own eyes?"

"That's it!" Song Xuan said with a smile, "The reason why the evil demons here are difficult to deal with is not because they are so strong, but because they disappear without a trace once they sense something is wrong.

This is a rare opportunity. With Ning Caichen as bait, if we don't take advantage of it to gain some merit points, we'd be doing our champion scholar a disservice for all the hardships he's endured along the way!"

Wan Jianyi and the others looked at each other in surprise.

Captain Zhang Long was suddenly enlightened and said respectfully, "So you, my Lord, have taken such great pains and risked your life to rid Jiangcheng County of its demons and restore peace and prosperity to the people of Jiangcheng!"

Your Excellency is a man of high moral character, and I admire you!"

Song Xuan turned his head to look at him and was silent for a moment.

The sudden flattery made him feel a little uncomfortable.

After a while, he nodded encouragingly.

"Captain Zhang has eyes that can see through people's hearts, and he saw the good nature of this official at a glance.

An official like you who is good at observation and discovery has a bright future ahead of you!"

Chapter 615 Lanruo Temple

Song Xuan accepted Zhang Long's flattery with peace of mind.

It is true that he wanted to gain credit, but it is also true that he wanted to do something for the local people.

Is there a conflict between gaining merit and doing things?

No!

Killing demons and monsters not only earns you merit, but also makes the lives of local people better and enriches their treasury.

This is not only a win-win situation, but also a win-win-win, ... or even a win-win-win!

Sometimes Song Xuan couldn't understand the stupid brains of some people.

You can obviously work hard and improve your life at the same time, but why don’t you be a good person and instead be a beast?

...

After Ning Caichen and his servant rode for nearly two hundred miles, the sky turned dark and they were still over a hundred miles away from the next county, Hengyang County.

Is this distance far?

For ordinary people, that is quite far, but for Song Xuan and others, it is just a blink of an eye.

But Lord Song was leisurely looking at the beautiful scenery on the mountain path, and had no intention of helping Xiao Ning at all.

The book boy looked up at the gloomy sky. The dark clouds made him feel uneasy.

"Master, it's going to rain, and it looks like it's going to rain heavily. We're in the middle of nowhere, so we need to find a place to hide from the rain!"

Ning Caichen pulled a map from his sleeve and after carefully examining it, he pointed to an area halfway up the mountain. "According to the map, there's a Lanruo Temple there. The weather's bad today, so let's stop there for a while."

The servant boy naturally had no objection. The two of them got off their horses, held the reins, and began to move forward along the mountain path.

In the distance behind, Victoria Song looked at the backs of the two people, with a look of reminiscence on her face.

After a while, she clapped her hands and looked at Song Xuan excitedly.

"Brother, I've always thought the name Ning Caichen is so familiar. I didn't think about it that way before, but now that I heard the name Lanruo Temple, I finally realized it!"
