I have an eternal eye

Two hours later, night fell.

In the dark night, there was still heavy snowfall. On both sides of the street, huge lanterns swayed in the cold wind. The quiet snowy night made the ancient city of Yong'an even more vicissitudes of life.

"It's gone!"

In the east of the city, the watchman's gong sounded rapidly.

Neighbors were awakened one after another.

"Which one is it?"

"It's Yuan Lu's wife, go and help."

The Lu family had a good reputation in the city and was in harmony with their neighbors. Therefore, when the neighbors discovered that something was wrong, they sent people to help.

Most of the owners of these wealthy businessmen are cultivators. Even if they have poor qualifications, they have hired monks to protect them. Naturally, they have their own methods for disaster relief.

Some people threw out their talismans, and the ice condensed...

Some people use fire avoidance techniques to save people...

However, the Lu family's fire was a little evil.

The fire was like an evil beast, jumping and dancing in the dark night. In just the blink of an eye, it engulfed every corner of the house.

Boom!

There was no time for rescue, and the Lu family residence collapsed in the fire and turned into ruins.

The snow was still falling, and in the light of the fire, the people around looked at each other with strange expressions in their eyes.

Everyone can see that there is something wrong with this fire.

"The Lu family, are you afraid that you have offended someone?"

"I heard something happened in the mine."

"Shh, no words..."

The divine dynasty has ruled for tens of millions of years, and small families have come and gone. The people have accumulated enough wisdom for survival.

Talkativeness and curiosity can really kill people.

The people from the yamen came. One of the old men stretched out his hand and pressed it. Suddenly a strong wind blew up and the remaining fire was extinguished. The yamen servants swarmed up and searched carefully among the ashes...

The people from the Golden Crow Temple also came, and they used magic formulas to summon secular gods. Without noticing the aura of evil spirits and ghosts, they quickly left...

The fire was classified as an accident.

Luo Tongzhi, who was entertaining guests in the mansion, received the news and looked at Judge Li, who was drinking alone, and shook his head slightly.

Naturally, he had already guessed what was going on.

However, this chaos comes from the sky, and it affects so many fish and ants, so the people in the sky probably won’t care...

…

On the snowy Huanglong River, a cargo ship was sailing slowly. The surroundings were dark, and the only sounds that could be heard were the sound of water and the sound of the ship crashing into ice floes. The dim candlelight flickering in the boat pavilion made it even more lonely.

On the deck, some men dressed as Jianghu people silently adjusted the sails. Their faces were red from the cold wind, and their eyes were alert and focused, looking around.

In the cabin, everyone from the Lu family was hiding inside.

Mrs. Lu hugged Lu Qiu tightly with the quilt, and the housekeeper Lu Fu and several loyal servants held down the remaining boxes.

"Brother Wang, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness."

Lu Chengfeng also changed his clothes and wore a fur hat. He looked like a merchant who ran ships all year round and bowed his hands respectfully to a man.

After receiving Judge Li's warning, he did not hesitate at all. He immediately dismissed the servants in the mansion, packed up only his important belongings, and made a fire to escape.

Of course, help from friends in the world is indispensable.

The bearded, dark-faced man opposite was named Wang. He was a helmsman of the Huanglong Gang. He had a good relationship with Lu Chengfeng and used to take care of each other's business.

The Golden Crow Divine Dynasty has a strict household registration management system, and people need guidance when traveling to various places. If they want to leave silently, they can only ask Huanglong for help.

"Haha, Brother Lu is out of town."

Helmut Wang patted his chest and said in a deep voice: "When you walk in the world, there are always going to be some bumps and valleys. With the relationship between Brother Lu and me, there is no need to say these polite words."

As he spoke, he rolled his eyes and inquired: "Brother Lu, your wealth and foundation are all in Hexi Mansion. Where are you going to settle down now that you leave?"

Lu Chengfeng smiled bitterly and said: "The incident happened suddenly. I was panicked and didn't know where to go."

Captain Wang shook his head slightly and persuaded: "Brother Lu, it's better to make plans early. I'll go see the brothers outside."

After saying that, he stood up and pushed the door open.

As soon as he left, Lu Chengfeng's expression changed and he lowered his voice and ordered: "There is something wrong with the man named Wang. Prepare to break out later!"

Along the way, the other party didn't ask him what happened. Instead, he was very interested in where he was going.

This is a cliche, and the other party probably has evil intentions.

Boom!

At this moment, accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, a person fell on the deck outside, and then he heard the flattering voice of Captain Wang: "I have seen the general, he is inside."

Lu Chengfeng's pupils shrank, and a chill rose in his heart.

Even through the door and window, he could feel the powerful aura of the person outside, like a furnace, burning the air and giving off a faint smell of burning.

They are from the Golden Crow Temple!

Moreover, he is also a master of golden elixir!

He was extremely desperate in his heart, and with a sword in his hand, he defended his wife and children.

Bang!

The cabin doors and windows suddenly burst open, as if being pulled out by an invisible force, and disappeared into the dark night. Cold wind and flying snow suddenly poured in, blowing everyone's hair wildly.

On the deck, torches flickered.

Everyone in the Huanglong Gang, including Captain Wang, bowed respectfully, not even daring to raise their heads.

A man stands with his hands behind his back.

He was wearing Qilin Swallowing Gold Armor, with sun patterns on the breastplate. His blood-colored cloak was flying in the cold night. Under his red eyebrows, his eyes were as cold as a cold blade.

Lu Chengfeng felt his lips were dry, "General Tuoba..."

The person in front of me, named Tuoba Yan, is the general protecting the law of the Golden Crow Temple in Hexi Prefecture. He has a high position and is usually stationed in the military camp outside Yong'an City with a large army.

There are almost two systems in the Golden Crow Temple in every place. A high priest is stationed in the temple and is in charge of incense sacrifices. The Protector General manages the temple army and is responsible for suppressing rebellious monks and evil spirits.

They are on the same level as the governor. Even if they violate the laws of the divine dynasty, the government has no right to deal with them and can only report them to the temple for internal processing.

More importantly, this person is from the Tuoba family.

In the realm of Hexi Mansion, the power of the Tuoba family was taboo even to the royal family. Even if half of Yong'an City was destroyed, no one dared to say anything nonsense.

Lu Chengfeng groaned secretly in his heart.

When had he offended the Tuoba family?

He is still confused.

Tuoba Yan glanced coldly and said, "Where is the person who can help you break the curse? Tell me, and I, the general, will make your family die happily."

Lu Qiu, who was under the quilt, watched all this calmly. When he heard the other party's words, he suddenly understood.

It seemed that the person who cast the spell was related to the Tuoba family, and he counterattacked with the poisonous spell. That person was probably dead.

This guy is afraid of coming for revenge.

Lu Chengfeng was not a fool. He understood everything in an instant. Looking at his wife and children behind him, his eyes were filled with uncertainty.

He didn't want to betray his savior, and even if he revealed the information, his family might not be able to escape death.

However, Mrs. Lu had already lit the incense, looked outside and gritted her teeth and said, "I will call him out right now, and ask the general to spare my child's life."

As he said that, he glanced at Lu Chengfeng.

Lu Chengfeng suddenly understood that his wife was looking for an opportunity. As long as the master came and the two sides got into a fight, his family might have a chance to escape.

Phew~

As soon as the incense was lit, there was a strong wind on the river.

Lu Qiu closed his eyes in the quilt, and a flash of fire suddenly appeared on the river. In a flash, it landed in front of everyone in the Lu family, and it was none other than Zhang Biaoyou, the divine Dharma minister.

Feeling the aura on his body, Tuoba Yan was not afraid at all, but a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "The wandering god of the Luofu Divine Court? Are you a member of the seventh prince?"

Zhang Biao was shocked.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually recognized this wandering god's Dharma-like base.

Could it be that the Seventh Prince also has the Wandering God Dharma in his hands?

Although he felt strange in his heart, he still said in a deep and expressionless voice: "I have nothing to do with any prince. Get away and spare your life."

"Hahaha…"

Tuoba Yan seemed to have heard something funny. He shook his head and said: "It turns out he is a wild cultivator. You guys, with some inheritance, don't know how high the sky is."

"Fortunately, I met this general."

"You can kill insects with poison spells, and I think you are good at it. If you can bow your head and serve, I, the general, will put the blame in the past."

As soon as he finished speaking, whistling sounds sounded in the air one after another, and a monk wearing armor was seen coming through the air.

Behind their armor were inlaid kite-like instruments, and firelight rose from the armor, like fireflies flying in the dark night.

They held strange bows and crossbows in their hands, and the arrows in front of them flashed red, with a creepy murderous intent.

Not only that, a statue of a god appeared in the sky.

The statue looks like a Taoist, wearing a soaring crown on his head and a golden crow carved on the Taoist robe. The huge circular magic weapon on the back is burning, making it suspended in the air, like a blazing sun appearing in the dark night.

This piece of river was instantly enveloped by the divine realm.

The temperature in the God's Domain is extremely high, with a sense of heat. The ice floes on the river slowly melt, and water vapor rises.

The leader Wang next to him rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, I'm afraid you don't know that the man named Lu just wanted to betray you. What can you do to help them?"

"General Tuoba is thirsty for talents, so you must seize the opportunity..."

Behind him, Lu Chengfeng and his wife turned pale when they heard this.

After Zhang Biao heard this, he looked around helplessly.

Today's situation seems to be bad.

These people are not something to be afraid of, but once they are killed, they will alarm the behemoth of the Golden Crow Divine Dynasty. The other party has the origin of the world to suppress their destiny, and they can only flee.

Could it be that I have some bad luck?

I wanted to sneak in secretly, but why did I end up like this...

Whoosh!

Just when the murderous intention rose in his heart, the sound of breaking through the sky came again in the night sky, accompanied by a majestic voice:

"Do you, the Tuoba family, obstruct the imperial order and want to rebel?"

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of fire rose up in the night sky. It was a square-faced man in a purple robe. He took out a token in his hand: "The Golden Crow Order is here. Let me see who dares to move!"

Lu Chengfeng quickly shouted, "Master Governor, the villain is here!"

A fierce light flashed in Tuoba Yan's eyes, and with a flick of his finger, a fire dragon dart flew towards the Lu family and his party with shocking murderous intent.

Snapped!

In mid-air, the fire dragon dart stopped.

Zhang Biao was seen holding the Fire Dragon Dart, and with a heart-wrenching sound, the magical weapon was crushed by him.

He condensed the strange elixir. Although there was no Yang Shen, the ordinary golden elixir was no match at all.

If he hadn't summoned the Soul-eating Cicada upon seeing things turning around, no one present would have survived.

"How brave, dare you kill someone and silence them?!"

The warlord roared angrily, and with the light of fire instantly falling on the ship, he raised the Golden Crow Ling high, "General Tuoba, do you want to kill me as well?"

Tuoba Yan sneered, his eyes becoming more and more sinister.

At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from the statue in the sky: "Hey, General Tuoba, without my instructions, how could you transfer the statue of the sacred fire without permission?"

After saying that, the burning flame statue shot through the air, and the divine realm behind it also dissipated.

"Humph, old fox."

Tuoba Yan looked grim, but the murderous intention in his body also disappeared, and he said coldly: "I heard that a demon invaded Yong'an. Could it be that Governor Liu is related to the demon?"

The warlord snorted: "Monster, where did the monster come from?"

But it was Zhang Biao who had disappeared without a trace.

Tuoba Yan's pupils shrank, and at the same time a chill rose in his heart, and he said solemnly: "Since it is a misunderstanding, I will not accompany you."

After saying that, he rose into the air and left quickly with his subordinates.

Everyone in the Huanglong Gang saw the bad opportunity and jumped directly into the water, treading water and jumping on the river, rushing into the night on the shore.

This operation made everyone in the Lu family confused.

The warlord breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

Lu Chengfeng hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Governor Liu, for the rescue."

Governor Liu looked around and said meaningfully: "My Golden Crow Order can only scare away the high priest of the temple who is unwilling to get involved in this matter."

"The Tuoba family is powerful. Even if he kills us, he only needs to find someone to take the blame afterwards, and he can get away with it. What he is afraid of is the master just now."

"He comes without a trace and leaves without a trace. His Taoism is far beyond ours."

"Lu Chengfeng, don't you see that you are still associated with such a master? With his behavior, he is not a nobody, right?"

Lu Chengfeng had a wry smile on his face, "Sir, I misunderstood. How could a villain have such ability? This matter is just a coincidence..."

As he spoke, he narrated what happened.

After hearing this, Governor Liu frowned slightly and said, "Such masters often don't want to owe karma. You are lucky."

Lu Chengfeng hesitated for a moment and then said: "Master Governor, I have been working diligently and diligently according to your instructions without any slightest care. Why did this disaster happen?"

Governor Liu glanced lightly, "It's okay to tell you that I have been ordered by the fifth prince to supervise the matter of the spiritual mine. If the Tuoba family wants to harm the fifth prince, they will naturally cause trouble."

After Lu Chengfeng heard this, his heart suddenly went cold, and he said with a trembling voice: "This... please give me a clear path, Lord Governor."

He understood that he had accidentally got involved in a fight among the upper echelons. Even the governor would avoid such a thing, let alone him.

Governor Liu looked behind him and said, "People dare to rob and kill me, an official of the imperial court. If you stay here, you will of course die. Just follow me."

"When we get to the Imperial City, we will confirm this and record a confession. Your family will be safe and sound."

Lu Chengfeng was panicked, "Well, with this kind of thing, I'm afraid I won't be able to bring down the Tuoba family."

Governor Liu sneered, "Of course I can't sue. That's not what the fifth prince wants."

"You are the only one alive in this matter. I'll teach you to be a good boy. All you need to do is cry out and explain the Tuoba family's arrogance. The fifth prince will naturally save both of our lives."

Lu Chengfeng was stunned, "Sir, you also..."

Governor Liu shook his head slightly and looked at the black night sky, "Don't feel that you are wronged. I am no better than you."

"Now we are just grasshoppers on a rope."

"Remember, the worse we are, the better our lives will be."

Under the quilt, Zhang Biao was relieved.

He had figured out the whole thing.

In order to raise the army's spiritual mines, the fifth prince sent Governor Liu to the Tuoba family's territory in Hexi Prefecture to supervise the matter.

Naturally, Tuoba Yan wouldn't let it succeed, but he couldn't do it openly either. He could only make trouble in secret, and the Lu family was involved.

This Governor Liu was also a human spirit, and he knew that this matter would definitely not be accomplished. If he could not complete the task, he would die. He might as well get the Tuoba family's information and become the reason for the fifth prince to attack the prince.

These things may seem small, but when accumulated one by one, they may become the force that brings down the prince.

Zhang Biao was not interested in these intrigues.

What he cares about is that he finally has the opportunity to get close to the Golden Crow Imperial City...

Will continue to update in the evening
