Chapter 127 171, 172. Secretly in charge of the business, people are no match for longevity (please subscribe)
Nothing can describe the mood of the Xiao family's head at this moment. If you have to say a few words, it's like "You are watching TV in your safe home, and all the anti-theft doors at home are locked, but at this moment, black and white rustling snowflakes flash on your TV screen, and then Sadako crawls out and breaks into your home.".
Xiao Cibei stared at the black turtle, and then looked at "Song Cheng" who was placed in the first place on the spiritual family tree.
The head of the family has changed.
From now on, the head of the Xiao family is Song Chengcheng.
And the black turtle in front of him made him think of the Zhenwu Emperor who killed the Holy Heavenly Buddha in seconds.
Sure enough, Song Cheng is gifted, and there is indeed a huge force behind him, but he never expected that this force is so terrifying.
Now he has nowhere to escape.
Facing a powerful person who can break into the Yin House at will, facing a new head who can call him back at any time, how can he escape?
"Emperor."
Xiao Cibei stood up and bowed respectfully.
Helpless, some realities must be accepted, and you should bow your head when you should.
"Are you convinced?"
The black tortoise made a muffled sound.
Xiao Cibei said: "From now on, I will follow the emperor's lead."
Song Cheng looked at him, and he didn't expect that this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a strong spirit was a man who knew the current situation, so he continued in a muffled voice: "Three of the people who fought with me that day escaped. You should know where they are hiding, right?
If you don't know, then you have lost the opportunity to prove your loyalty, and you will be sealed in this Yin She from now on."
Xiao Cibei:
At this moment, his thoughts were like lightning, and he almost wanted to speak and argue, "I really don't know", but he closed his mouth again when he saw the cold eyes of the black tortoise staring at him.
He didn't know if he could see the sun tomorrow once he said the word "I don't know".
As the head of the Xiao family, who controls the state of Jiangnan, covets the world, and is the master behind the reappearance of the catastrophe, how could Xiao Cibei have suffered such grievances? But in the world of power, this is the reality
Xiao Cibei sighed and said: "I am willing to cooperate with the emperor with all my strength. Among the three people, one must be the demon-conquering Arhat, and the other two are the sword immortals and the emperor. I can only vaguely know where the demon-conquering Arhat is. The other two may be able to find him after catching the demon-conquering Arhat."
Song Cheng asked again: "Song Cheng is a junior of my Xianta, who was lost in the world. You accepted him into the Xiao family only because you saw that his training power could help the Xiao family compete for the Central Plains. But why do you want to compete for the Central Plains?"
Xianta?
Xiao Cibei was stunned for a moment, then said: "Could it be that the goddess Xuannv is also"
Without waiting for an answer, he murmured: "No wonder, no wonder."
Until this moment, Xiao Cibei really planned to break the jar, after all, the other party was also an extremely huge force, so he said: "The general trend of the world is that after a long period of division, it will eventually unite, and after a long period of unity, it will eventually separate. The general trend is Yang.
When Yang gathers, Yin gathers, and when Yang disperses, Yin disperses. Only when Yin disperses, the ghost river can not gather.
Then with the help of the canal, the water of hundreds of rivers, the ghosts of hundreds of lands, gather in one place, and discharge into the sea.
In this way, this land can be kept safe."
Song Cheng thought about it and said: "Bullshit, if more people die, there will naturally be more ghosts. In a place without people, there will be no Yang to counter the Yin."
Xiao Cibei smiled bitterly and said: "I heard Sheng. Sheng before."
"Sheng Tianfo." Song Cheng helped him say it.
Xiao Cibei said: "Yes, yes, the Holy Buddha said that the Yin Qi comes from the Taiyin, and it will not change with the number of people, but only with the adjustment of Yin and Yang. I didn't expect that this is false."
"Where is the Holy Buddha?" Song Cheng asked again.
Xiao Cibei said in a trembling voice: "He has been killed by the Emperor in the Imperial Capital."
In the eyes of the Xiao family patriarch, the huge black turtle seemed to recall, and then said in a muffled voice: "That little monk dares to call himself a Buddha?"
Xiao Cibei laughed "hehehe" and said: "Yes, yes, the Emperor is right."
On the other hand, Song Cheng was also slightly relieved.
If he really swallowed and killed the Holy Buddha, it seems that he can really move around in this land.
"Then take me to find the Demon-Subduing Arhat."
"Yes, Emperor. But I only know where he may exist, and I can't be completely sure. I will do my best." Xiao Cibei was terrified.
Song Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Have your people set out to pick up Song Cheng?"
"I will take him immediately." Before he finished speaking, Xiao Cibei suddenly realized that he could no longer summon his subordinates.
Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly found that Song Cheng had disappeared.
Song Cheng climbed outside the Xiao family, but found that as long as he was in the tower, the people of the family would not be kicked out by force, so he got back and said, "This is easy, I will invite them for you, you pretend to be the head of the family."
"Yes"
In a moment
Xiao Bi, who was about to go to the north to "invite" Song Cheng back, and Xiao Yan received inexplicable instructions, and the two had to return.
Xiao Bi asked why, but was scolded by Xiao Cibei.
A few days later.
A "Xuanwu Temple" was built somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River, and a portrait of a giant turtle was hung in the temple.
A few days later.
Somewhere underground in Jiangnan, in a deep soil like an ice cellar, a monk's coffin was taken out directly, and the soul inside was swallowed by the dark gold turtle just as it tried to escape.
The soul of the demon-conquering Arhat was spinning like a leaf in a whirlpool.
As it spun, the strength on his body and even the color on his body seemed to be "cut into pieces" and kept being shaved away.
Xiao Cibei watched blankly from the side.
He thought the battle would be earth-shattering.
But. It was just a mouthful.
Seeing that the demon-slaying Arhat was almost dead, Song Cheng dragged him into the Xiao family's Yin House. The black tortoise's big mouth loosened a little, allowing the Arhat's arm to stretch out from between the fangs.
He said in a muffled voice: "Enter the Xiao family and I will spare your life."
The demon-slaying Arhat was almost dead, so how could he dare to say "no"? He hurriedly raised his hand to write.
When the name of "the demon-slaying Arhat" appeared on the tablet, Song Cheng spit out the Arhat.
The Arhat lay on the ground, and his ghost seemed to be seriously injured, and was pulled "skin and flesh".
Song Cheng asked again, and began to catch the remaining two people.
Half a month later.
Yan Muyi was caught.
This sword fairy had to join the Xiao family.
Another half a month.
"The ancestor of the Ji family" Feng Tianshi was killed.
The first half of the process was exactly the same. Song Cheng searched everywhere for possible hiding places of Feng Tianshi under the guidance of the "guide". After finding him, he tortured him half to death, and then brought him to the Xiao family to make him "sign".
But the second half was a little different. Feng Tianshi was like crazy, and his soul's face was changing. Sometimes he was a human, sometimes a dragon, and sometimes a broken elephant. He even made a strange "wow" sound from his mouth.
After that, his body madly emitted the energy of soul attack, trying to severely injure Song Cheng, and then he was killed and his soul was scattered.
Song Cheng searched for his body hidden in the ice coffin.
Even if his soul was scattered, his body was still as before. Even if he was taken out of the ice coffin and abandoned in the wilderness, he could avoid insects and remain immortal for several months.
Because the ice coffin was in the imperial capital, Song Cheng did not take it away, but slightly changed the hiding place, waiting to take it after he arrived in the imperial capital in the future, and study it.
The interrogation of Yan Muyi and the demon-suppressing Arhat only obtained more information about the destruction of the Qingque Continent, and their motives for stirring up chaos in the world were exactly the same as what Xiao Cibei said.
Before he saw through it, Song Cheng felt that these people behind the scenes were high above, ambitious, and stirring up the wind and clouds, but after seeing through it and even arresting them, Song Cheng had a feeling that "it turns out that they are just struggling desperately."
Behind the scenes?
Layout?
It does not exist.
This game of thousands of years is just to survive, just to prevent the ghost river from reappearing.
Mobilize yin and yang with chaos, send the fragmented yin energy into the canal, and then deliberately cultivate the big ghost in order, and finally send the big ghost into the sea
This big ghost is now naturally a drowned ghost.
But the drowned ghost is still being digested, after all, the fusion of ghosts is too slow.
So, after all the twists and turns, the real enemy is not a person, but the world, the environment, and the catastrophe that is getting worse and worse and cannot be solved.
Even though Song Cheng has already recruited Yan Muyi, Jiang Mo Luohan, and Xiao Cibei as his subordinates, he still needs to face this problem.
Catastrophe
"Let your people cooperate with King Zhao to stabilize the situation in the world again."
After issuing this order, Song Cheng left the Xiao family Yinshe and returned to the An Mansion.
Song Cheng either did not leave home, or he left in months.
When he returned home, he looked for Sister An again and roughly told her what he did this month.
Among all his women, Sister An was the most reliable.
At this time, An Chenyu patiently listened to what he did this month. Although her expression was surprised, it had become moderate. Since she knew that her man had two souls and was the Emperor of Xuanwu, she was quickly accepting this reality.
If the cards are bad, don't be surprised.
If the cards are good, don't be confused.
"Do you still remember Su Houzhang?" An Chenyu suddenly asked.
Song Cheng nodded and said, "Sister An, are you saying that Yan Muyi and the others were also bewitched by some evil ghost? They mistakenly thought that by causing chaos and digging canals, they were eliminating the future catastrophe of the ghost river. But in fact, they were just seduced by the evil ghost."
"Isn't the elephant mask the clue left by the person who seduced them?" An Chenyu knew nothing about the world of "Xuanjing". She just followed the logic and inferred, "It's right for my husband not to wear such a strange mask. But we can find some people to test the death row prisoners, ghost servants, and even animals."
In the candlelit night, Song Cheng looked at the thoughtful look on the face of the lady opposite him, and he couldn't help but think about it.
Animal mask?
Where has he encountered this thing?
Soon, a few words flashed through his mind.
"Leopard woman", "mysterious doctor", "paradise".
Thinking about it, he really felt that it was very similar.
In the paradise, the mysterious doctor wanted to tame people into beasts, and then change them into monsters from the soul, which is very similar to the soul wearing a mask.
Before leaving, he took a pill that could make people sober and created a "human skin ghost".
Song Cheng felt that he should not be the opponent of the doctor.
But what is the doctor?
Is he a human?
Or a ghost?
Or something else?
He didn't know at all.
The night was boundless, and for a moment, a hazy panic rose in his heart.
Even though he had conquered all the power that could be seen on the surface, the more he understood, the greater the darkness he was exposed to.
"Sister An, the mask is in danger for now. Let's move to the imperial capital as soon as possible and go there before this wave of ghosts arrive.
After all, there are many people in the imperial capital, and the yang energy is there. It's hard for you to see ghosts."
An Chenyu said softly: "I'll listen to you."
After saying that, she said softly: "I'm almost thirty, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take root anywhere for a long time. I might as well go to the imperial capital now."
When he reached his thirties, Song Cheng noticed that Sister An's charming face had lost the freshness when he first met her, and had gained a bit of the vicissitudes unique to a woman. If the girl's skin was like a peach, Sister An's skin is now obviously very slightly loose.
Between her full head of black hair, there are one or two inconspicuous silver hairs, which is a sign of overwork.
And all of this reminds Song Cheng of one thing: his relatives and loved ones will all grow old and die.
When that day comes, he doesn't know how sad he will be.
so.
"When you arrive in the imperial capital, you and the young lady will practice martial arts together and reach the Qi state in one breath. If you are in good health, everything will be fine."
"What about Yin Guihui?"
"You can find more vice-presidents, set up some protectors, envoys, etc. As your power grows, you can't handle it all by yourself."
"But Ating's secret must not be known to anyone else."
"Then just stop and let Ating turn back into the well-behaved little girl she once was."
"Gu"
"Gu Gu."
"Gu Gu."
A brown owl is squatting on an old tree in the northland wasteland.
The wind is blowing and the trees are swaying. It is obviously the season of spring and flowers are blooming, but there is no warmth here.
"Gu Gu."
"Gu Gu."
The owl continued to hoot, as low as a muffled drum, and as if it was laughing strangely.
Like a sharp needle piercing the eardrum in the night.
Under the shining moonlight, the feathers looked a bit cold.
The owl is lowering its head.
Under the old tree, there is a kind old man with a stick and his head raised.
One person and one bird were looking at each other, as if they were extremely curious that they could actually see each other here.
After watching for a long time, the old man took the lead in bowing and bowed gently to the bird.
The owl chuckled.
The old man opened his mouth and made a kind voice: "Senior actually succeeded. It seems that it is really possible."
"Cuckoo," the owl laughed.
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to talk, the old man bowed again, turned around and disappeared.
The owl looked at the old man walking away, then raised his trembling legs, spread his wings, flew away, and disappeared.
squeak
Song Cheng opened the door and saw that Ating was still painting, so he sat next to her, took a look in the moonlight, and said, "Owl."
"I can already draw a lot of things." Ating made a cute voice, but her voice was a little shaky.
Song Cheng smiled and said, "Ating is awesome," and then said, "In a few days, our family will move to the imperial capital. When we arrive in the imperial capital, daddy will take you to play everywhere."
He has decided to put many things aside for the time being.
No matter how busy I am, I still have to find time to spend with my daughter.
"Daddy."
Ating waved his hand and suddenly said: "I just saw an old man. It was scary. I was scared. But the old man didn't move, and I didn't move either. We both stared at each other."
The old man suddenly said, "Senior actually succeeded," and I continued to laugh. After laughing for a while, the old man ran away. I ran away too. "
After saying that, her face turned pale and she added: "It's far to the north. There can't be anyone in that place."
After all, she was still a child, and the pressure the old man put on her was actually extremely great, greater than the many dead people she saw.
Such great oppression made her involuntarily seek help from her loved ones.
Song Cheng's pupils suddenly condensed and he asked: "What does it look like?"
Ating painted "shushua".
After a while, the appearance of a kind old man appeared on the drawing paper.
This look is exactly the "doctor" Song Cheng met in Paradise.
Song Cheng asked again in detail.
But Ating and the doctor only met by chance, and the process was extremely confusing.
Song Cheng hugged Ating, whose face turned pale. No matter how he looked at her, he couldn't tell that his daughter looked like her "senior".
That's because the "mysterious doctor" misunderstood.
But, why did he misunderstand.
What has Ating succeeded in?
Song Cheng narrowed his eyes.
This sudden incident once again strengthened his determination to leave the North as soon as possible, and at the same time, he further protected the secrets of "Fomalhaut".
If the "mysterious doctor" knew that Ating was not the "senior" he mistakenly thought, the consequences would be disastrous.
Fortunately, Ating was smart and didn't say anything like "My mother doesn't let me talk to strangers."
That night
The frightened Ating and his parents got together, took a nap, and then continued to sit aloofly in a dark corner and draw.
Sister An, Lady Tong and the others are beginning to prepare for the move, striving to complete it and set off within a few days.
At the same time, An Chenyu issued a special rule of the Yin Gui Society - "Beiluo Shimen" is a taboo secret of the Yin Gui Society. Those who talk nonsense will die!
After setting this rule, An Chenyu gave an order to all the medicine people: Anyone who talks nonsense about Beiluo Shimen will be killed without mercy.
Song Cheng found Su Mengzhen.
He wanted to persuade his sister-in-law and his family to move to the imperial capital.
At this time, the sister-in-law didn't seem to cooperate. She just leaned against the door frame, hugged her chest, and said, "Pick up your pants and leave?"
Song Cheng is such an unpredictable sister-in-law
Sometimes noble and elegant, sometimes vulgar and mean.
So, he sighed softly and said: "I am from the Immortal Pagoda, and I still recognize my ancestors and return to my clan."
Su Mengzhen was stunned for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Is it the fairy tower of Empress Xuannv?"
Song Cheng didn't know why his sister-in-law mentioned his female role at this time, but he nodded.
Su Mengzhen said: "You want my Su family to follow you to the imperial capital, I may not be able to do it, because other clansmen will not agree.
But Xiao Yuer and I should be able to carry the ice coffin and go with you. And the old man Su Houzhang is dead, his ice coffin is empty, you can take it away.
However, I have a condition."
Song Cheng didn't want to smile bitterly, but he suddenly guessed Su Mengzhen's request.
Sure enough, Su Mengzhen said: "I want to see the goddess Xuannv."
After saying that, she actually took out a palm-sized statue of Xuannv from the side.
Pure white, with the majesty of gods and the charm of Xuannv
Su Mengzhen said: "You are already six-tailed, and the Queen Xuannv must be more powerful. I...I...I want to ask her for the subsequent cultivation methods, and I also want to get close to her."
Song Cheng:.
Su Mengzhen saw that he was silent, and said: "Forget it if it doesn't work."
Song Cheng said: "I promise you, but the Queen Xuannv seems to be in seclusion, and I can't find her. You and Xiao Yu'er will follow me back to the imperial capital. I promise you that I will let you see the Queen Xuannv as soon as I have the chance."
Su Mengzhen was close to him. Even if Song Cheng didn't respond, she would follow him to the imperial capital, so she smiled and said: "That's fine."
The Su family also discussed it properly, and there were no problems on all sides.
The An family started to go south with large and small cars.
This trip took a full two months.
As soon as everyone left the Northland, a ghost tide broke out.
However, there were no civilians in the place where the ghost tide was rampant, and there was a vast wasteland between Beixuezhou, Donghaizhou and Yuzhou.
It would take a long time for it to spread to the next state.
Song Cheng and his family came to the imperial capital and went deep into the imperial city. Although they did not enter the palace, they settled down in the most luxurious mansion next to the palace.
The next day, the emperor's reward arrived.
Song Cheng was named King Song, and An Chenyu and Tong Niangzi were named first-class imperial ladies.
These were just titles on the surface.
But in any case, Song Cheng finally stabilized.
And once a person stabilizes, once life becomes regular, once the crisis becomes smaller, time begins to pass quickly.
Song Cheng began to quickly carry out various necessary explorations and research, as well as tricks to consolidate his position.
He tested the elephant mask and found that the mask should be a special trick, but the trick was controlled by people. It could not work in Song Cheng's hands. But it is certain that this mask has a bewitching effect.
He used the longevity ice coffin of the aristocratic family to test the "longevity" ability.
He put a death row prisoner into the ice coffin, but the prisoner not only did not extend his life, but was directly frozen to death.
When he was taken out of the ice coffin, the prisoner's whole body was stiff, and he was frozen from the inside out.
Song Cheng continued to test, and sent the death row prisoners or villains of the four realms of strength, strength, form, and qi into the ice coffin, but the outcome did not change at all, and even the time of freezing to death did not change
Because, they all froze when they entered the coffin.
For the sons of the aristocratic family, the ice coffin can double the life span, but for ordinary people, even for the martial artists of the qi realm, it is a "murder weapon" that will kill them immediately.
He took advantage of the special nature of his identity and the information gap to become a "multi-surname family slave".
He kept making his name appear in the genealogy of the major aristocratic families in various states, and then copied them one by one, gathering all the major aristocratic families into the Nine-Layered Pagoda.
Until he, Song Cheng, became the head of all families except the Su family.
But few of the clansmen of those families knew about it, and they thought that their heads had not changed, and that King Song was just a "multi-surnamed slave".
Song Cheng did these tasks tirelessly.
Before he traveled through time, he read some novels and was puzzled. He didn't understand why the protagonist had absolute advantages and didn't spend time to turn these advantages into benefits?
Now, he was doing these tasks and felt very comfortable.
The entire Shang Dynasty was becoming a one-man show for him, Song Cheng.
Xuanwu Temple became more and more powerful, and quickly replaced the original Buddhist beliefs.
In addition, there was Xuannv Palace.
Shengtian Buddha disappeared and the monks were gone.
Instead, there were Taoist priests.
Under pressure from all sides, the Barbarian King sent Madam Zhushan back directly.
Song Cheng took Madam Zhushan to the Song Palace and asked her to stay in the same courtyard with Tong Niangzi to maintain the relationship between master and apprentice.
As for the method of taming beasts, he did not need to obtain it from Madam Zhushan. As the actual head of the Yuzhou family, he had learned the barbarian taming technique from the family's subordinates.
He passed this taming technique to Song An.
Compared to Ating, Song An is really ordinary.
But living in an extraordinary family, Song An is also rapidly becoming outstanding, but. That is only among ordinary people.
As for Song Cheng himself, while integrating the major families, he is also rapidly acquiring the skills of the major families.
He wants to digest all the power he can touch.
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
Madam Zhushan's life span has come to an end.
One day, she suddenly said "a little uncomfortable", then returned to the bed, just lay for a while, and then closed her eyes.
Tong Niangzi, who had the deepest feelings for her, had red eyes.
But Tong Niangzi knew that Madam Zhushan was already long-lived among mortals, and had life experiences that ordinary people could hardly imagine, and she enjoyed the joy of family in her old age. This should actually be a happy funeral.
But for some reason, she just wanted to cry.
She glanced at her husband beside her again.
Nineteen years have passed since she and her husband got together. She is now a woman, but her husband is still a young man.
The son of a noble family can live for ninety years, and if he is promoted, he can live for more.
Her husband can live for a thousand years even if he is not put into an ice coffin.
For a moment, she didn't know whether she was crying for the old death of Mrs. Zhushan or crying that she was just a passer-by in her husband's life.
Soon, Mrs. Zhushan was put into the coffin.
The body was filled with fragrant mist, and the coffin was opened. The family members walked around to pay their respects to the remains.
Mrs. Zhushan's beautiful face finally lost its original color and became dry, wrinkled, waxy, and her white hair was sparse.
