Taiping Inn

One night passed in a flash. The next morning, Yan Feiqing and others went downstairs one after another and greeted Qin Buer and others.

Ning Yi sat alone outside the door to sober up, covering his forehead with one hand and asked, "How much did I drink last night?"

Li Xuandu, who was standing next to him, held up two fingers.

Ning Yi asked, "Two jars?"

Li Xuandu sighed, "To be precise, it's two barrels. You two drank all the wine in the inn. You really have a huge capacity."

Ning Yi shook his head, "No wonder I feel like I was fished out of the wine."

Li Xuandu said, "Last night, you and Shi Wuyue had a drinking contest. Shi Wuyue cheated first and forced the wine out of his body through the method of "moving meridians and twisting veins". Later, you followed suit and spilled wine all over the floor. You said you drank two barrels of wine, but at least 90% of the wine was wasted by you."

Ning Yi covered his head, "So much wine, enough to kill a cow. I can't even remember the last time I drank so recklessly."

Li Xuandu's expression was a bit complicated. Qin Su said she didn't care about him, but in the second half of the night, the whole room was filled with alcohol, and Qin Su changed her tone, saying that alcohol was harmful and had no benefits. It was nonsense to say that drinking alcohol made one feel free and unrestrained, and drinking alcohol made one very romantic. It was better not to drink alcohol. Li Xuandu naturally nodded in agreement.

Ning Yi did not circulate his Qi to dispel the alcohol, but relied on his body to dissolve it. He enjoyed the feeling of hangover and asked, "Where is Senior Shi?"

Li Xuandu pointed to the big box behind Han Yue.

Ning Yi understood, stood up, and went to the second floor of the inn. When he came back, he had changed into clean clothes, and the smell of alcohol on his body was swept away.

After a little packing, the group continued to set off.

At this time, there were less than 400 miles left to Baidi City.

...

Baidi City, Yong'an Palace

This place is located on Yong'an Mountain, the highest in Baidi City. From here, you can easily see the situation outside the city, which is very suitable for supervising the battle and commanding. The famous Shu Kingdom's first lord also died here, leaving behind the eternal story of entrusting his son to his father in Baidi City.

Today, Yong'an Palace has become the main altar of Qingyang Sect and the residence of General Tiangong Tang Zhou.

Deep in Yong'an Palace is an empty hall with various gauze hanging in the hall. Various talismans are posted on the floor, dome, beams and walls of the hall. The talismans are shining with golden light, making the whole hall golden and shining, as if the whole hall is covered with gold.

In the middle of the hall, there is also a stone door. It is called a stone door, but in fact it is only a door frame made of long stones, similar to a memorial archway, with various obscure talismans engraved on the two supporting stone pillars.

Four big characters are engraved on the top of the "archway": "Tian Guang Kai Jian".

At this time, a woman stood in front of the archway, with disheveled hair, bare feet, and wearing a robe. In her right hand, she held a seven-star magic sword, which had two sides, one black and one white. The hilt was shaped into the shape of a yin and yang fish, and a strange jade stone was inlaid at the head of the sword, like a green eye. In her left hand, she held a thick stack of talismans, which kept flying out of her hand, but did not fall to the ground, but floated in the air and slowly rotated around her.

When all the talismans in the woman's hand were scattered, a wind suddenly rose from the ground, blowing the woman's robes and her black hair fluttering wildly.

This is the difference between a Taoist priest and a warrior. In a head-on fight, a Taoist priest is no match for a warrior without various magic weapons, but a Taoist priest has a wider range of uses. If a warrior were replaced here, even a great master of the heavenly realm would find it difficult to build a permanent "Yin Yang Gate" in a short time.

As the woman pointed the magic sword in her hand at the "archway", a blue light curtain appeared in the "doorway" of the archway, as if it was a water curtain, shimmering, and then a black shadow emerged from the "water curtain", as if it was going to pass through this portal and cross a distance of thousands of miles to come here directly.

Not far from the woman, the armored Tiangong General Tang Zhou stood with his sword in his hand, his face solemn.

The next moment, the black shadow completely emerged from the blue "water curtain". It was not a person, but a dark coffin. The surface of the coffin was black and smooth, painted with various strange patterns, like a human figure, twisted and hideous.

The coffin was suspended in the air, as if someone was pushing the blue "water curtain" little by little from the back. With the appearance of the coffin, the temperature of the entire hall suddenly dropped a lot. Originally, this side hall was much colder than the outside, and it became even colder at this time. When all the coffins left the "water curtain" and fell to the ground with a bang, a circle of thick evil spirits dissipated from the gaps in the coffins in an instant, as if they were real. If it weren't for the various talismans that had been arranged in advance in this side hall, these evil spirits alone would be enough to cover the entire Yong'an Palace.

As for the woman and Tang Zhou, because of their high realms and the talismans in the hall to suppress the evil spirits, they were not afraid of these.

Tang Zhou took a step towards the coffin, but because of the evil spirit, his steps were particularly heavy, which was not like what a great master of the Tianren Wuliang realm should be like. Every step he took would stir up a circle of visible qi ripples, and the armor on his body also rattled with his movements.

When Tang Zhou walked in front of the coffin, his armor was covered with a layer of white frost. He was indifferent to this and slowly asked, "What is this?"

The woman, Shangguan Wan, looked slightly pale because of the spell. She put away the magic sword in her hand and replied: "This is what I promised to the general. It can help the general break through the current bottleneck and reach the realm of heaven and man."

"Oh?" Tang Zhou's face did not show much expression. He said without comment: "It seems that the geomancer borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha and took the things of Zaoge Sect."

Shangguan Wan smiled and said: "No matter who it belonged to before, from now on, it belongs only to the general."

Tang Zhou said "huh", and it was hard to tell whether it was a mockery or approval. He asked again: "The 'Qilin Blood' of Wudao Sect can make people crazy. I wonder what hidden dangers such things will have?"

Shangguan Wan did not answer directly, but said: "General, you might as well take a look at the things inside first, and then it will not be too late to make a conclusion."

Tang Zhou snorted lightly, shook slightly, and shattered all the frost covering his body, then reached out and pushed the coffin lid slowly.

As the coffin lid slid, the truth about what was in the coffin finally came to light. It turned out to be a woman with a beautiful face. Except for the bloodless skin, she was no different from ordinary people, like a sick beauty sleeping.

Tang Zhou showed some displeasure on his face and said, "This is the same trick again, raising a ghost fetus? I am not the old man Zang."

Shangguan Wan shook his head and said, "Please rest assured, General, it is not the case. She is not a human."

"Not a human?" Tang Zhou was slightly stunned: "What is it?"

Shangguan Wan said, "She is actually a fox demon who has cultivated successfully and can transform into a human form. Later, she was severely injured by the Taoist priest of Zhengyi Sect with the "Five Thunders and Heavenly Heart Orthodoxy". When she was on the verge of death, she was rescued by the Earth Master. The sky thunder is the nemesis of monsters, and the Earth Master could not save her. He could only keep her in a state of suspended animation with the "Yin Yang Reversal" technique of Yin Yang Sect, and then entrusted the Zang Sect Master to use the secret technique of Zaoge Sect to Seal it and make its body immortal. "

Tang Zhou nodded, his expression eased a little, and said: "Then what should I do?"

"The reason why the geomancer saved her is not because of his compassion, but because after the monster dies, the demon pill will quickly wither, just like when a person grows old and yellow, it is difficult to preserve, so the geomancer will hang on to her life to prevent the demon pill in her body from withering, for today. "Shangguan Wan said: "As for the usage, it is also very simple. The general will cut open her chest and abdomen, take out the demon pill in her body, and take it directly, or make it into pills with other medicinal materials. It all depends on the general's preference. "

Tang Zhou laughed when he heard it, without any hesitation, he drew the sword at his waist.

In this cold and piercing hall, the cold knife light added a bit of chill. Even Shangguan Wan felt a little chill. A man can watch his brothers die, and he can also be indifferent to beauty. How cruel is such a man?

Before Tang Zhou took action, he even had the leisure to recite a poem by Emperor Taizu of his dynasty: "I have killed millions of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sword on my waist is still bloody. The mountain monk does not know the hero, so he only asks for his name at dawn."
