517: C517 Cihang Hall

C517 Cihang Hall

"Fa Zhang?"

Chu Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it the Protector who sealed the giant corpse?"

Zuo Qianhu did not know what the giant corpse Chu Yun was talking about, but he explained, "This is a mage with great dharma, and also a popular person with the emperor. Before the ceremony and all the rites in the palace is held, the emperor has to ask for his opinion.

Every once in a while, the pharaoh has to return to Mount Pudu and his cultivation treasure. In the Cihang Palace, apart from escorting Sir Fu back to the capital, the Imperial Secret Service also has a mission to go to the Cihang Palace to bring Fa Zhang back to the capital. "

After saying that, Chu Yun nodded his head, indicating that he understood.

From the looks of it, the Protector of the Imperial Protector, Du Cihang, was indeed a favored person who was trusted by the Emperor.

After all. . .

This place was only two days away from the capital, and Kṣitigarbha would only be closer to the capital. If the Protector of the Imperial Protector wanted him to go to the capital, it would take him at most a day to arrive.

However, this was such a short distance, and the Emperor had arranged for the Imperial Secret Service to make a special trip to Mount Pudu to receive him. On the surface, it seemed like they were taking off their pants and farting, but in reality, it meant that the Emperor valued this Imperial Protector very much, and had always placed him in his heart.

"I feel that if we want to enter the capital and tell the Emperor and the various ministers about the situation in Heavenly South, if we can obtain the assistance of a popular person by the Emperor's side, it should be even smoother. "

Zuo Qianhu said and looked at Chu Yun. "So, whether we go to Pudu Mountain or not is up to you to decide. If we don't go directly to the capital, it is also possible. "

After saying that, Chu Yun pondered for a moment.

Fu Qingfeng thought for a moment and said, "I think that this Imperial Protector is not that reliable. When we were in the Morality Villa, you all heard that the giant corpse was suppressed by the Imperial Protector. However, when the Heavenly Dog ate the moon last night, the giant corpse still came out. "

"That's right. "

Fu Yuechi also nodded and said, "We should not go to Mount Pudu to avoid unnecessary complications. "

When Chu Yun heard this, he smiled and said, "No, I think it is precisely because of this that we have to go to Pudu Mountain to see if there is really a problem with this Protector. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Tianchou and Zuo Qianhu looked at each other and nodded.

Fu Tianchou stroked his beard and said, "There are treacherous officials in the court. The closer they are to the people around the Emperor, the more likely they are to deceive the heart of the Emperor. I do not know much about the things in the Palace. However, I have heard some rumors about this Imperial Protector. It is said that he is very close to some ministers.

If a mage in charge of the ritual and the law is too simple-minded, he shouldn't be too close to those ministers. Perhaps, he really has some problems. "

"We'll know when we go take a look, it's not far anyway"

Chu Yun smiled.

……

That night, the group continued on the official road towards the capital, and soon arrived at Pudu Mountain.

Due to Fu Tianchou's crime, Chu Yun did not let him go up the mountain. Among the group, only he, Zuo Qianhu, and a group of Imperial Secret Service members left immediately.

The Fu sisters and Zhiqiu Yiye stayed by Fu Tianchou's side to protect him, waiting for Chu Yun's signal.

Of course, after Chu Yun made such a decision, the Fu sisters were very worried. They were afraid that this trip to Mount Pudu would be a trap for Zuo Qianhu, and that he would kill Chu Yun on Mount Pudu.

However, Chu Yun was naturally not worried about that. In fact, if there was any danger or ambush, Chu Yun would bring a group of people with him, which would make him a target that he needed to take care of. If there was any danger, he would be able to escape immediately.

Clearly, Zhiqiu Yiye understood this logic. He patted his chest and promised Chu Yun that he would definitely protect Fu Tianchou and Qingfeng Yuechi.

Just like that, Chu Yun followed Zuo Qianhu and a group of Embroidered Uniform Guard soldiers up the mountain.

On the mountain path, there was a grand hall in front of them.

There was no plaque. In the middle of the white hall wall was a vermillion door. There were steps paved from top to bottom.

In the middle of the steps, there were four big words carved on it -

Ci Hang Hall.

"This is the cultivation ground of the Protector, Prince Kṣitigarbha. "

Zuo Qianhu said. It was clear that this was not his first time here. Seeing the lights around the hall, the door was tightly shut, and he changed his gaze.

Then, two Embroidered Uniform Guards immediately cupped their fists and went to knock on the door. After a while, a sound came from behind the door, and then a woman dressed like a maid opened the door from within the hall.

"We are the Embroidered Uniform Guard, under the orders of the Emperor, we have come to receive the Imperial Protector and return to the capital. "

One of the Embroidered Uniform Guards cupped his hands and said.

The maid was not surprised by their arrival. She put her hands together and bowed, saying: "The Imperial Protector has been preaching for days and has damaged the true Yin. He needs to rest for a night before he can leave for the capital tomorrow. "

At this time, Zuo Qianhu rode up on a horse. Next to him was Chu Yun, who was dressed in the Imperial Secret Service uniform. He came to the front door and said, "There is no need to rush. We can also rest in Ci Hang Palace for a night. We will leave tomorrow morning. "

"I'm sorry. . . "

The female servant didn't agree. She immediately rejected the offer. Her expression seemed to be somewhat uncomfortable as she said, "The sacred land of Buddhism can't accommodate ordinary people. Qianhu, please wait a moment. "

After saying that, the female servant glanced at the corner of her eyes. In the sky, a thin cloud and faint fog drifted down. The heavenly dog ate the moon again and its speed was very fast. Immediately, a trace of unnatural twitching appeared on its face. After rejecting Zuo Qian Hu, it bowed and hurriedly closed the door, turned around and left.

"This. . . "

Zuo Qianhu's face changed slightly. In his opinion, even though the Imperial Protector was trusted by the Emperor, it was too unreasonable to reject the Imperial Secret Service like this. After all, it was already dark. If they were not allowed to go in, would the Imperial Secret Service set up camp outside?

Beside him, Chu Yun had a strange smile on his face as he said, "Don't rush him. It is normal for him to be a little impatient. After all, if it was a little later. . . "

"What if I am a little later?"

Zuo Qianhu heard Chu Yun's words and asked.

"A little later. The heavenly dog eats the moon, disrupting Pill Cauldron's Qi. The demonic energy on that monster's body will be completely exposed. "

A mocking smile hung on Chu Yun's face, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

What Cihang Palace? A holy land of Buddhism?

In the past, he had seen it for himself. In the past, it was peaceful and peaceful, but when the Yin energy of the world was at its strongest, it was revealed. S.

Zuo Qianhu was only a mortal martial artist, and did not understand Daoist magic. His eyes could not see through Yin and Yang, and he could not see through the disguise of the maidservant. Chu Yun could understand that.

However, in Chu Yun's eyes, the demonic energy on the maid's body had gone from a tiny bit at the beginning to becoming thicker and thicker. It had reached the final stage of the heavenly dog eating the moon. It was about to completely explode.

No wonder she closed the door and left without saying anything. If she had waited a little longer. . . She would probably turn into a demon in front of the Imperial Secret Service.

"You said that maid is a demon?"

Zuo Qianhu frowned. He could see that the maid's expression was a little unnatural, as if she was afraid of something. He originally thought that she was afraid of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's soldiers, but after hearing what Chu Yun said, things became a little scary. He could not help but think, "That Kṣitigarbha. . . "

"I'm afraid so too. "

Chu Yun nodded, then paused for a moment and said: "This also explains one thing. When the catastrophe of the huge corpse of the Morality Villa happened, it happened to be the heavenly dog that ate the moon. At that time, Kṣitigarbha, the Imperial Protector, happened to leave the capital and return to the Ci Hang Main Hall.

Now, it's the Heavenly Dog, Moon Eater, and the Protector of the Protector of the Protector has returned to the Cihang Palace. . .

It turns out that the reason why he left the capital every once in a while and returned to the Cihang Palace was to go into seclusion while the celestial dog ate the moon, so that he could avoid everyone. "

Chu Yun's lips curved up. He looked at Zuo Qianhu and said, "Alright, you guys wait here. I'll go in and meet him and see if he has any cultivation experience. "

"I'll go with you!"

Zuo Qianhu immediately dismounted and took a deep breath. He said, "If that Imperial Protector is truly a monster, then I'm afraid we have already found the person who deceived His Majesty. I must participate in this matter the entire time in order to find out the truth and report it to the Emperor. "

When Chu Yun heard this, he thought for a while and nodded. He said, "Alright. With your martial arts, although you don't know the Dao, you can still use your murderous aura to intimidate the demonic devils. "

After saying that, Chu Yun drew a talisman in his hand and stuck it between Zuo Qianhu's eyebrows. He said, "I have already opened your Dharma Eye. With this, you can see the traces of those demons. "

After saying that, Zuo Qianhu took a deep breath. Looking at the world around him that seemed to have some strange gas, he felt an unusual coldness.

So this is the world in the eyes of the mages?

"Let's go. "

Chu Yun said and walked up the steps, arriving in front of the door. Without any hesitation, he pushed the two doors open with his palm.

The maid left in such a hurry that she didn't even have time to put the door in. The door was pushed open easily. Chu Yun and Zuo Qianhu looked at each other and walked in together.

They saw a bright road in front of them. It was wide open and there were various statues of gods on both sides of the road. They were all famous Buddhas and Arhats.

Although each statue was quite godly, when the heaven and earth ate the moon and ate the dogs, when the Yin Qi in the world was the densest, it always seemed a little gloomy and terrifying.

Chu Yun and Zuo Qianhu walked forward and passed through the long corridor. They turned around and arrived at a circular square. There were layers of stairs surrounding them, and there were seats on the steps. On the seats, there were actually people wearing official uniforms.

"Why are all the officials here?!"

Zuo Qianhu's expression changed. He looked around and saw that the people were not moving. They had their eyes closed as if they were asleep. He could not help but ask, Why are all the officials here?! "Lord Jiang, Lord Yang, Lord Li, why are you all here? Could it be that Fa Zhang is organizing some kind of ritual? "

As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Qianhu's voice echoed in the empty space around him. There was even a echo. However, none of the important officials present responded. They just sat there like wooden wax, not reacting at all. They did not even have the aura of strangers.

Chu Yun walked forward and pulled the arm of one of the figures. However, with a light touch, the figure collapsed like a pile of sand hitting a wave.

Under the official uniform, there was not a living person or a physical body, but a pile of rotten flesh. It had been dried and solidified, leaving only the outer layer of skin.

"These are not real people, but bodies that have been shed"

A strange expression appeared on Chu Yun's face.

"Bodies?!"

Zuo Qianhu's expression changed, and he said, "Why are there so many bodies here? What does Kṣitigarbha want to do with the bodies of so many officials?"

Chu Yun shook his head, and said, "The main thing we need to pay attention to right now is actually not this, because these shells were shed by someone else. Do you understand?"

“……”

Zuo Qianhu's body stiffened. He felt that it was difficult to breathe.

His body had been shed. Only old bodies would be shed. In other words, someone had been carrying these bodies, carrying the skin of the officials of the court, and had been active outside for a long time. . .

During that period of time, how could the officials who lived in the capital and in the court be real ministers? They were just puppets that had been replaced and replaced!

In an instant, an incomparably cold chill froze Zuo Qianhu's body. His heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, and he felt an incomparable darkness.

Originally, he only felt that if Kṣitigarbha was a demon, then this Imperial Protector would definitely be the one who deceived the Emperor.

But now, the bodies of all the officials in the court were placed here, and the matter was already serious. It was not as simple as the Emperor being deceived. . . All the ministers had already been replaced by demons. Every official who was active in the royal court was actually a monster!0

Kṣitigarbha used his status as the Imperial Protector to get close to the various officials in the court. In fact, he used the method of exchanging a civet cat for a crown prince to replace all the important officials in the Imperial Court!

The current Great Xia Dynasty had already been secretly controlled by the evildoers!

And all of this had only been discovered today!

"Evildoer. . . "

Zuo Qianhu clenched the katana in his hand tightly as he gritted his teeth and roared loudly: "Abominable! What kind of monster are you, to be able to bring the bodies of these officials to that place?! Come out! Hurry up and come out!"

The roars echoed in the empty square, but they were still the same as before. There was no reply.

Chu Yun walked up and patted Zuo Qianhu on the shoulder. He understood Zuo Qianhu's feelings, but to be honest, he was more interested in Kṣitigarbha.

Looking at the road above the square, Chu Yun said, "Let's go. Whether it is a donkey or a horse, he is waiting for us inside. Let's go and take a look. "
