Not far outside Lin'an Mansion, about three miles to the east, there is an isolated castle standing on the plain.

This is a rare piece of flat land, but there is not even a rice field around it. It is desolate and full of dry forests.

Even in broad daylight, it feels horrifying. The further you go inside, the colder it becomes.

It is said that some people passing by at night even saw the ghost turned into fireflies, which was extremely scary.

Everyone in the nearby villages knows that this place is the Tianlao of Lin'an Prefecture.

No matter whether he is a high-ranking official or a vicious robber, as long as he is sent to the prison, he will never come out again in this life.

As time passed, there were piles of corpses and bones near Tianlao. Although there were no graves, the resentment had left no grass growing around them.

On every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the wind blows heavily here, and no one dares to approach easily even in the daytime.

It is said that every year during the Ghost Festival, Lord Guozhu, Xu Lai, would come to live here in person for a night, using his earthly immortal aura to suppress the resentment in the heavenly prison.

Therefore, many people passing by this place will subconsciously take a detour to avoid it. Those dignitaries are even more reluctant to pass by this road for fear of being contaminated with bad luck.

"Kakakaka..."

At this time, the sound of a horse-drawn carriage came from far away, and it entered the path in front of it and headed towards the Tianlao.

What's strange is that this is not a prison carriage for escorting prisoners, but a gorgeous carriage. The carriage is larger than ordinary carriages. The wide wheels are wrapped in layers of animal skins and neatly decorated with rivets.

Not only does it serve as a reinforcement, but it also gives people a sense of wealth and dignity.

"Master Marquis, if you go further ahead, you will reach the Tianlao. The road will not be too easy, so please sit tight."

The coachman on the shaft is wearing an eyepatch and is a one-eyed man.

This person's name is Mao Bo and he is a close confidant of Xu Fan. He is about fifty years old, but he has the strength to reach the peak of Taoism.

It was not that he was sent to lead Xu Tong on purpose this time, but that there was too much resentment around Tianlao. If someone with insufficient strength rashly broke in, he would be seriously ill after returning, and he might even lose his life.

Only masters like Mao Bo who have entered the Taoist realm can enter and exit freely.

In the carriage, Xu Tong responded, but he was thinking about something else.

He did not expect that Xu Lai and Xiao Leshan were not only rivals, but also close friends.

According to Xu Fan, on the surface, the two were fighting to the death, and the two dragons were not allowed to meet each other, and they would die if they met, but in fact, the two had started to communicate closely in private a long time ago.

Xu Fan even learned the news in advance about what happened last time at Luoyuepi.

Of course, Xu Fan spoke very cryptically about this, but you could tell that he was trying to lead himself in the direction of Luoyuepi when he was running towards that direction.

The reason why the two are so close is precisely because their fate is that if the two dragons do not meet each other, one of them will perish.

And behind this, someone deliberately changed his fate.

When Xu Fan said this, he pointed in the direction of Immortal Summit, and the meaning was self-evident.

The two gods are using two people as chess and the world as a chessboard. The winner will unify the world. One of them must use this to become an immortal.

This is the so-called fairy chessboard.

Xu Fan knew this because he accidentally learned it from his father's letters hidden in a secret room.

It's just that both of them are playing Tai Chi now. They seem to be unwilling to be their chess pieces and are discussing a plan to break the game. I don't know exactly how the two of them operate.

But there was one thing. Xu Fan discovered a hidden code in his belief in Lao Tzu, which was to attack the moon.

Xu Fan himself sent someone to check, and later found four words.

Comet hits the moon.

The so-called comet hitting the moon is a celestial phenomenon.

In "Warring States Policy·Wei Ce IV": "Hu Zhuanzhu stabbed Wang Liao like a comet striking the moon."

It represents the following offenses.

In other words, on this day, the fortunes of the world will suddenly become chaotic, and those in lower positions will have the opportunity to plot against those in higher positions.

So Xu Fan concluded that this was the day the two of them had been waiting for.

As for when this day arrived, Xu Fan couldn't find out.

In this era, it is taboo to peek into the sky, let alone read the ephemeris records of past generations. This kind of thing is the same as rebellion.

Only people from the Si Tianjian of past dynasties can check it.

Xu Tong thought about the information Xu Fan said, took out the script in his hand and looked through it, but did not find that the problem of a comet hitting the moon was mentioned in the script.

According to the development direction of the script in his hand, Xiao Leshan was defeated by Xu Lai in the end, and then turned around and rebelled. After they killed Xu Lai, they became the containers of gods.

He read the script repeatedly and always felt that the story was missing a corner, so that the content in the script suddenly flipped.

And I don’t know exactly what this missing corner is.

"Hey, these people did a poor job developing the script in the last round. Too many details went undiscovered, otherwise I wouldn't have to be so passive."

Xu Tong sighed. If Xu Fan's guess is correct, he will go to the Northern Barbarians in the spring of next year. There are still two or three months before then, and he can seize the time to practice the Nirvana Sutra.

Improve your own strength, and at the same time supplement and expand the Dream Demon Cavalry under you.

"head!"

At this time, Chang Wenzhen's voice came from the team channel.

"Head, head! Now, we can make a fortune!"

"

Immediately afterwards, Chang Wuju sent a visual screenshot to the team channel.

Xu Tong took a closer look and couldn't help but widen his eyes and said in shock: "Did you kid rob the treasure house of the Northern Barbarian Palace?"

"Hehe, these are all for free, they are all good things, but please do me a favor first. I remember that you seem to have a magic talisman that can strengthen weapons..."

Time goes back to this morning...

"Winter-winter, winter, winter, winter!"

“Have a safe night!”

At five o'clock in the morning, with the sound of the clock knocking, the residents in Beimang Zhongdu City had already begun to get up from their beds.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw that the ground outside was covered with a thin layer of frost.

The north is no better than the south. It's not even December yet, and it's already so cold that people shrink their necks.

Ordinary people can only endure the cold and go out wrapped in cotton-padded clothes.

But in the Young Master's Mansion, it was a different scene.

The red-hot heater was brought into the room with the cover closed. The whole room was warm and comfortable.

More than a dozen maids lined up and walked forward, slowly walking inside carrying hot water, incense burners, shell powder, balm and other dozens of things.

Yeluqi stood expressionless in front of the bed, letting the maids fiddle with them. Only after this series of processes were completed, did the little eunuch standing beside him step forward and stretch out his fingers to help Yeluqi.

Arrange the clothes around the collar a little.

"Your Highness, the prince sent a lot of good things yesterday. Among them are many rare toys and some precious medicines for improving one's cultivation. It can be seen that the prince has been thinking of you recently."

Yeluqi snorted coldly and sneered at these precious treasures. After waving the guards and followers to go away, he glanced coldly at the little eunuch aside: "There is no news from Di Qiu yet??"

"this……"

The little eunuch looked troubled and whispered: "Your Highness, Mr. Di said that if he wants to reshape his body, he needs natural materials and treasures. He will not be able to get them together for a while. He can only wait for the Yuanqi Temple to be built and invite the Yuanqi God to come.

, bestow the treasure to reshape the body for His Highness."

Hearing this, Yeluqi immediately became angry. He pulled up the collar of the little eunuch in front of him and looked at him fiercely, wishing to tear the guy in front of him into pieces.

The reason why I have kept him until now is because his injury has not healed yet, and Di Chou cannot protect him. He needs someone who knows how to stand in front of him to prevent others from noticing that there is anything wrong with him.

Otherwise, just because he dares to stab himself, I should cut him into pieces and cut him into pieces with a thousand knives.

"My uncle has already arranged a wedding for me yesterday. We will get married on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month this year. How can I, a disabled person, hide this from anyone?"

As he spoke, he pushed the little eunuch to the ground viciously and stared at him fiercely: "You bastard who deserves a thousand cuts, I should have had you chopped into pieces!"

The young eunuch's face suddenly turned pale, his eyes flickered, and he quickly got up from the ground and said: "Your Highness, Your Highness, this matter can be handled and easily handled."

"Oh, of course it's easy. I'll have you taken out now, chopped into pieces, and fed to the dogs!"

Yeluqi immediately laughed angrily, his face becoming more and more gloomy.

The little eunuch hurriedly shook his head and explained: "Your Highness, what I mean is that your wedding will be easy to handle."

After saying that, he came forward and whispered: "His Royal Highness was seriously injured that day. In order to save his life, he had to cut off the dragon sac. But the young man had a measured move. Although the dragon sac was gone, the dragon root was not damaged, and outsiders could not see it.

, I have a method..."

After the little eunuch whispered a lot in Yeluqi's ear, Yeluqi looked at him suspiciously.

"you sure!"

"Of course, this is absolutely true."

After the little eunuch finished speaking, his voice changed: "But it is very troublesome to prepare this magical medicine..."
