Lanke Chess Edge

It didn't take long for the gray cat to jump away, and the body also slowly drifted along the stream of the creek.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the body in the river was discovered, and the two blurred shadows passing by moved from a constant speed to a sudden acceleration, and ghosts and ghosts appeared on the river bank flickering, and they were the other two ghosts patrolling the night.

The two night wandering gods showing their figures on the shore are wearing black uniforms, with long knives on the left waist, a long whip hanging on the right waist of one of them, and a black bow and arrow on the back of the other, quiver bag But there are only three black arrows in it.

At this time, the two night wandering gods were squinting at the corpse in the river. Looking at it with their eyes, they naturally knew that it was already a pure body, without a trace of soul or life. Ordinary people would not die so cleanly even if they died.

Of course, in addition to these, the traces and aura left by the evil practice on the corpse are also fully revealed in the eyes of Ye Youshen.

"I don't know what kind of existence succeeded, it must be mixed in those special post stations next to the newly built Fatai."

"Hmph, it doesn't matter who succeeds, it won't make a big wave anyway."

"Hehe, that's a good point, let the Yangjian guards have a headache!"

The next moment, the two Ye Youshen blurred for a moment, flashed again and were already more than ten feet away, and moved away with a sense of trance.

On the roof in the distance, a gray cat sat on the eaves of the roof and licked its paws. With cold eyes, it glanced at the direction in which Ye Youshen left, and then looked at the corpse in the water again.

Whoosh~

In the next moment, a dull black arrow suddenly shot at the gray cat, and the latter dodged the black arrow, but the arrow turned a corner in the air, and unexpectedly shot again. Shoot towards the gray cat.

At the same time, a night wandering god in the distance bent his bow again like a full moon, and a black arrow disappeared from the quiver and appeared on the bowstring automatically.

Whoosh~

Another arrow flew out, tearing the air between yin and yang with the force of pinching back and forth, and shot at the gray cat that kept flickering and jumping.

"middle."

"boom……"

Somewhere the roof exploded, and the gray cat was like a bubble phantom in it, and it seemed to disappear without a trace after being punctured.

The two black arrows flew back and returned to the quiver on the back of Zuo Zhengshi, Ye You Shen of Gyeonggi Prefecture.

"What a profound illusion attainment, this monster is amazing!"

"Well, let's let it rest for a while."

After these two sentences, the two Night Gods turned into phantoms and disappeared at the end of the dark path.

Under a thatched shed about a few hundred feet away, the gray cat appeared again, the color of the pupils in its eyes uncertain.

'I didn't expect that two nocturnal wandering gods could do such a thing. This Dazheng Gyeonggi Prefecture is really extraordinary. '

Without thinking about it, the gray cat also ran back to the post house after running quickly, of course it knew the way.

In the early morning of the second day, the two bodies were found at the gate of Xiaohe City.

Although this small river is connected to the outside of the city, the city walls at the entrance and exit are all gates, fish can pass through it, but such a large corpse cannot.

The soldiers and officials on the edge of the city only rushed to salvage the corpses, but they were not as efficient as the underworld. They couldn't tell who the two were from Gyeonggi Prefecture, so the yamen had to be busy for a while. If no one goes to the government to report that the person is missing, then there is a high probability that nothing will be done.

Of course, the officials had some guesses in their minds, maybe they had something to do with the group of people around the courts. After autumn, many master mages from various places in Gyeonggi Province came, and some strange cases happened. It also increased.

. . .

During this period of time, Ji Yuan has been renting a side room in a private house. The location happened to be in the alley where the storyteller Wang Li had rented. There are many vacant rooms in the homes of the people here who will rent them out to outsiders. , there will be some scholars who stay in the capital to prepare for the exam, and there will also be people from the rivers and lakes, and the rent price is also very reasonable.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, every household in the alley hung up lanterns, and every household was beaming. It looked like a new year, but it was a way to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Tribute to the moon.

"Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji!"

The cheerful voice of the male head of the household sounded outside.

"I'm coming!"

Ji Yuan inside the room put down the jade slip in his hand, stood up and opened the door, and saw a man outside holding a plate with some moon cakes on it.

"Mr. Ji, these mooncakes are for you. My third uncle made them himself. Although they are not exquisite snacks, they taste very good."

"Oh, okay, thank you very much, Ji is about to go out to enjoy the moon, and it's good to bring some cakes as snacks for a few months."

Ji Yuan didn't even take the plate, he directly grabbed all the six small mooncakes in his hand, then he bowed to the head of the household and was ready to go out.

"Uh... Mr. Ji, you want to go out?"

Seeing that Ji Yuan was about to go out, the head of the household said something worried.

"Sir, it's better not to go out at night recently. There are notices in the market, telling people to go out less at night, saying that there are more things going on recently."

Ji Yuan, who had already walked into the courtyard, turned to look at him, nodded and said.

"Indeed, it's better not to go out at night. I'm just walking around Yongning Street. There should be quite a few people going out to enjoy the moon today."

After nodding with the head of the household again, Ji Yuan went out. Every household in the alley was celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival in their own way, and some people sat in the courtyard to enjoy the moon.

After Ji Yuan came out of the alley, his pace gradually quickened. He didn't look at the pedestrians and the sky and the moonlight along the way. It didn't take long before he arrived at the destination of the trip, the largest puja platform in the east of Gyeonggi Province.

This ceremony is about three feet high, the upper platform is hundreds of feet in length and width, and there are gentle steps going up on all sides. In a few days, this place will also be the main altar of the water and land ceremony.

It’s just that now, the surroundings of this high platform built of huge stones are very quiet. After all, there are relatively empty areas around this platform, and there are few people who have traveled so far here in the recent night, and most of the posthouses of those master mages are in The edge of each sub-stage.

"Hey, this place is quiet."

Ji Yuan flicked his sleeves, took three steps and two steps up the steps, and soon reached the huge and empty high platform.

Looking up at the sky, a round bright moon hangs high in the sky surrounded by slightly dim starlight.

"As the saying goes, the moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round, but the day when the moon is at its fullest is still today!"

Ji Yuan smiled, then moved his eyes down to the two figures beside the steps in the distance, one of them was an old beggar in ragged clothes, one leg was bent, and the other leg rested on that bent knee, a broken straw sandal Jump up and down with the shaking of the feet, but don't fall off.

The second person is a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a long beard who is meticulously dressed, standing next to the beggar and looking at the stars and the moon in the sky.

Ji Yuan fixed his eyes on the man he didn't know, opened his Fa eyes slightly and looked carefully for a moment, then walked slowly towards the old beggar, the voice rang out before the man arrived.

"Old Mr. Lu, did the post office official in Dazhen neglect you, or do you just like to wear this rag shirt?"

Ji Yuan's voice seemed to startle the middle-aged Confucian scholar, and he turned his head in surprise, not knowing when this person came.

"Hey, I knew there might be something to watch here tonight. I didn't expect it to be you, Mr. Ji Da. The moonlight is soaring during the Mid-Autumn Festival. In a few days, a group of people will come here to participate in the meeting, hey..."

"Old Mr. Lu is very predictable, so he wouldn't come here to stop Ji, right?"

"Oh~ how can I do that!"

The old beggar sat up now.

"We're just old beggars, and we don't have that ability. We're just very curious about what clever methods Mr. Ji will use!"

Ji Yuan shook his head with a smile, and now he came closer, first bowed his hands at the old beggar, and then saluted the middle-aged Confucian scholar.

Although the old beggar returned the salute casually, he stood up and returned the salute, and sat down again after giving the salute. The middle-aged Confucian scholars did not dare to neglect the old beggar's appearance, and solemnly bowed to Ji Yuan. .

"Who is this?"

Ji Yuan asked, but before the old beggar could speak, the man hurriedly introduced himself.

"I am the supervisor of the Taishi Sitian, and the words are constant!"

Ji Yuan said "Oh", and replied, "So it's Mr. Yan, my surname is Ji."

"Don't dare to be an adult in front of a real person!"

Taishi Sitianjian, also known as Taichang Envoy in Dazhen, or Qintianjian, was in charge of observing celestial phenomena, calculating solar terms, and formulating calendars.

This person seemed to know that the old beggar was unusual, and he could feel the specialness of Ji Yuan. He didn't have the prestige of an imperial court official at all, and he seemed very respectful.

The old beggar laughed on the ground.

"Hehe, this Dazhen is indeed an outstanding person. I wonder if I, an old beggar who lives and eats in a post house, can be picked out by Mr. Yan. Mr. Ji won't blame me for bringing him to see him?"

"oh?"

As soon as he said this, Ji Yuan was really a little surprised, he looked at the Si Tianjian carefully again, and confirmed that he was a mortal, thinking in his heart that this old beggar walked so close to the court official.

"Oh, by the way, I still have a few more months of pancakes. It just so happens that there are three of us. Let's share two for each of us. Let Rong Ji get down to business first."

Ji Yuan seemed to have just remembered something, took out six small mooncakes from his sleeve, placed them on the edge of the table one by one, and then walked towards the center of the huge Fatai, not caring about the presence of the court official.

Yan Chang looked at Ji Yuan and then at the old beggar, as if hesitating whether he should also go and have a look, but seeing that the old beggar didn't move, he finally stood by the side without moving.

Ji Yuan stood in the center of the Dharma platform, and slashed at the sky with his sword finger. The ivy sword behind his back manifested from the void, and in a flash it turned into a blue light and flew towards the sky.

Under the bright moon hanging high in the sky, the endless moonlight continued to gather faintly towards the Ivy Sword. It seemed to sense this signal. At this time, the extremely burly Land Lord of Gyeonggi Province also showed his figure and appeared on the high platform. A diagonal point to the table with a cane.

The stone surface of the entire Dharma platform seemed to be a glass-like mirror surface, and the moonlight in the sky flowed along the ivy sword, converging downward like a funnel.

Ji Yuan's posture on the Fatai is like dancing a sword, waving his sword fingers to connect points, sketching horizontally and vertically, and the moonlight guided by the fairy sword in the sky also follows like a pen.

In Yan Chang's eyes, it was a beautiful scene, and it looked so magical, as if the moonlight gathered in the sky, sweeping with Mr. Ji's finger and sword dance, painting the entire vast altar.

"Great hand! Such an exquisite edict method is really rare!"

The old beggar couldn't lie down any longer, so he sat up straight and watched, Yan Chang's attention was all on Ji Yuan and he was not able to see the big picture, but he could see that Ji Yuan was writing big characters, the seemingly soft and bright moonlight , but in fact, it flows into the entire mirror-like altar like a silver hook painted on iron.

After about a cup of tea, the moonlight in the sky dissipated, and a large piece of writing flashed across the mirror of the entire Dharma platform, and the glass-like Dharma platform gradually returned to its original color, turning into a piece of stone.

"Hey, the mooncakes are ready to eat, Master Yan, use them quickly."

"No, no, just keep eating, I'm not hungry!"

"Oh? Lord Yan, are you sure? You may not be able to eat this mooncake for the second time in your life."

Yan Chang, who was just answering casually, was moved when he heard the words, and looked down at the six mooncakes lined up. The halo of moonlight was still faintly visible on them, and then gradually dimmed.

Seeing that the old beggar had already taken two of them, Yan Chang's face turned dry, but his body squatted down honestly, holding two of them in his hands.

However, the old beggar didn't eat the moon cakes, he just put them in his pocket, and then made a move towards the distant roof, as if there was a huge traction force, a gray cat was directly pulled to him, and its head was pressed to death on the rock. step up.

"Meow wow..."

Ji Yuan also strolled over this time, glanced casually at the gray cat, and at least smiled.

"Yo, you're here, do you still want to leave?"

Seeing that the old beggar caught the cat with his hands, Ji Yuan was also in a good mood.
