Zeng Kui walked to the ancient rune at this moment, stretched out a hand and directly pinched the ancient rune in his hand.

When his hand touched the ancient runes, the ancient runes disappeared in his hand instantly.

But before he could understand the power of ancient runes, something incredible happened, and then Zeng Kui looked extremely surprised.

But this is not a bad thing, but something that makes him extremely happy and excited. Even the dragon veins in his hand are spicy things compared to it.

However, as a zombie, his expression was still cold. He suppressed the restlessness in his heart and turned around and looked at Hu Ping'an who was kneeling on the ground. After thinking for a second or two, he ran away in the direction he came.

He decided to let Hu Ping'an go along with his life. If it were the ones he had promised before, he would definitely not do as he did.

However, now Hu Ping'an gave him a shocking gift, so he is willing to break his principles of doing things and give Hu Ping'an a way out.

Hu Ping'an, who was kneeling on the ground, did not dare to see Zeng Kui's actions at all. He was quietly waiting for his ending.

In fact, he also knew that he was likely to die here today. After all, the word "mercy" in the monk world is not a compliment. Even when he encountered this situation, he would choose to eradicate the root cause, because this would not leave any trouble for himself.

"Cut the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze will grow again."

Any monk who embarks on the path of cultivation must understand this principle. When it is time to start, you must do it. Otherwise, you may die next time.

Hu Ping'an, who deeply understood this truth, knew from the beginning that he could not survive, but he also made the greatest efforts to pursue the hope of that glimmer of life.

But as time passed, the death he was waiting for had never arrived. In fact, he had heard the movements when Zeng Kui left, but he still didn't dare to open his eyes to look.

After five or six minutes of maintaining this posture, Hu Ping'an dared to raise his head and look in front of him, but there was no one.

Then he turned around and looked around, and there was no one else.

"He really let me go!"

Hu Ping'an chanted softly, and slowly stood up.

"breathe……!"

Hu Ping'an took a big breath, which was his first breath in his new life.

However, tears appeared in Hu Ping'an's eyes next, because he lost the treasures passed down from his family, and his treasure-stopping action will be greatly affected in the future.

"If you stay in the green mountains, you won't be afraid of burning firewood. If you spend all your money, you will come back." Hu Ping'an muttered these two lines of poetry to cheer himself up. As long as your life is saved, nothing else matters.

Then he looked at his companions scattered on the ground, and the pain in his heart became deeper.

"It's like this, how can I help you recover!" Hu Ping'an said to his companion.

His companion is a puppet, and it is an extremely rare puppet creation, and it can be regarded as a treasure passed down by his family.

It is very dangerous and difficult to rely on him alone to carry out the treasure-stopping operation, but it is different to have an assistant. This puppet is his assistant and companion. It is very good to help him carry things and fight when he is in danger.

This puppet was obtained at an extremely expensive price when his grandfather was alive. There is only one puppet. If it is damaged, he will really lose to his grandma's house today.

Hu Ping'an went over and hugged the puppet's head and checked it carefully. The puppet's head is the most important core part. Once the head is damaged, it will be declared that the puppet is completely finished. After all, he is not a puppet master and there is no way to complete such a meticulous repair work.

And let alone him, even now there are not many puppet masters in the entire great martial arts world who can repair this puppet.

"Not broken!"

After getting this result, Hu Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the others were not damaged, it would be nothing. It would take time to do it again.

Then Hu Ping'an brought over the big iron box that the previous puppet companion had carried, then put all the parts on the ground into the box, and finally carried the box on his body and left.

While walking out, he also saw Ai Ji's corpse. At this moment, Ai Ji's corpse was lying on the ground and motionless.

Moxibustion is really dead now.

Hu Ping'an stopped, but he did not kindly help moxibustion to collect the corpse, but reached out to touch the moxibustion body. He was a treasure-stopping person in charge of scattering valuable things to do everything possible.

Zeng Kui was in a hurry just now, so he didn't touch the corpse. This time it made Hu Ping'an cheaper.

There was a ring on the left thumb of Moxibustion, but Hu Ping'an was not interested in the ring at all.

This ring is a magic weapon and its grade is not low. If it were in other places, even if the ring and the fingers of moxibustion grow together, Hu Ping'an would take the ring away.

But this cannot be done in this place, because as long as this ring is removed from the fingers of moxibustion, it will release a magic trick, which will attract the forbidden power of this place.

Hu Ping'an just escaped by chance, but he didn't want to take his life into danger.

Hu Ping'an shaved all the valuable things on Moxibustion and put them in the box and continued to leave.

In fact, neither Zeng Kui nor Hu Ping'an saw Ai Zhi's corpse, the corpses of those monks, and the places where the dead bones were placed were very regular.

If you look at the highest point, you can find that the corpses and bones are actually real dragon bodies. However, the body of this real dragon is very incomplete now, and I don’t know how long it will take to splice it well.

Of course, all this is nothing to do with Zeng Kui. After returning to the shore, he did not leave, but ran straight towards Chuanqing City.

Hu Ping'an also swam to the shore immediately. As soon as he arrived on the shore, Hu Ping'an took out a gray crystal stone, then muttered and slapped the crystal stone on his forehead. Then Hu Ping'an disappeared from the spot.

Hu Ping'an is now very afraid of this place and would rather spend a [Ground Gang Stone] than leave the place as soon as possible. When Hu Ping'an's body appeared again, it was already on a cliff hundreds of miles away.

The ability of [Ground Gang Stone] is to move itself to the other end of the ground vein under your feet, but if there is no accurate spell activated, it may move to a thousand-meter sky. If you really don’t have the ability to fly, you will fall into a meat paste.

Seeing the completely different scenery around him, Hu Ping'an finally let down a suspended heart, then jumped off the cliff and disappeared into the boundless green forest.

As for Zeng Kui, relying on Mao Zang's speed, he rushed back to Chuanqing City in less than ten minutes, and he flew directly from a city wall without going through the city gate. When he landed on the ground, he returned to his human state.

Then he raised his foot and walked towards the government.

At this moment, Tong Qiu was talking to a monk who came to help at the gate of the government office, but Tong Qiu's face obviously looked impatient, because this monk was just a casual cultivator who had luck in the Taoism. Without background and strength, he wanted to deal with the matter of Yingzui Jian, but he was afraid that his life would be lost in vain.

"I advise you..."

Tong Qiu is a good person, so he is going to advise this monk not to care about Yingzuijian, and finding a place to practice well is the best strategy. Although the government has offered a very high price, if you want to get those things, you have to be alive.

At this time, Tong Qiu remembered Zeng Kui again. When he said this, he looked up and looked away, and saw a person who looked very similar to Zeng Kui. At first he thought it was his own eyes.

But as the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, Tong Qiu's eyes became wider and wider.

Then he went around the monk in front of him and quickly walked towards Zeng Kui.

"Master Zeng, you are not... dead...thing!" Tong Qiu said, and he even said something once during this period, but fortunately he turned it back.

"Of course I'm fine, otherwise I wouldn't stand in front of you." Zeng Kui said to Tong Qiu with a smile.

Looking at Tong Qiu's worried expression about himself, he was in a very good mood. Although the two had only been together for so short, they had truly become friends with gentlemen, and Tong Qiu admitted that he was the friend.

"Master Zeng, you never came back that day, which made the villain worry so much. But as long as you are fine, everything is fine!" Tong Qiu said happily.

Suddenly Tong Qiu thought of something, and he quickly took out a puff from his arms and smeared Zeng Kui's record.

"hey-hey……"

After doing this, Tong Qiu scratched the back of his head and smirked at Zeng Kui a few times.

"By the way, Lord Tong, I came back this time to report my life. The matter of Yingzui Jian has been handled. Yingzui Jian should be able to pass normally after tonight." Zeng Kui said to Tong Qiu.

"What? You solved the matter of Yingzuijian." Tong Qiu said in surprise after hearing Zeng Kui's words. His voice was a little loud for a while, which made everyone around him hear it.

The matter of Yingzuijian is the most concerned thing in Chuanqing City now. Not only those officials, but also ordinary people are also concerned about Yingzuijian.

Because most of the development and operation of Chuanqing City relies on shipping, and most people in Chuanqing City also rely on shipping to live. Now that something happens in Yingzuijian has stagnated, it is also a huge blow to the lives of the people in Chuanqing City.

Almost everyone wanted to resolve the matter of Yingzuijian as soon as possible. Although there were not many people at the door of the government, the news quickly spread.

Not long after, a large group of people surrounded the door of the government and asked the officials if the matter of Yingzuijian was resolved.

Those officials did not come out to explain because they were also very confused now.

As the date set by the emperor was getting closer, the matter of Yingzuijian had no intention of solving it at all.

Several officials even ran away with their money and booked overseas ship tickets to completely escape from Dawu. Of course, the final result of these people was very tragic, because Dawu's violent agency is now fully activated.

The Dawu court would not hold back at all about the betrayers.

Not long after, the governor of Sujiang Province, Fang Wenjie, came to Zeng Kui's place to visit.

At this moment, Su Wenjie didn't have a high position at all, and there was no follower around him, and he didn't even wear official uniforms.

Although the prefect is only a fourth-rank official, he is in charge of the power of life and death in a province. He is a vassal official and is called the little emperor in private.

Zeng Kui is his life-saving benefactor, his life and even the fate of the entire clan are all dependent on the matter of Yingzuijian.

He had already given up because the matter of Yingzuijian could not be completed by manpower or financial resources. This is a real extraordinary event, and he had no way to do it.

But just as he was in a state of turmoil, he suddenly heard a monk solve the problem of Yingzuijian.

As soon as he heard this news, he immediately put down everything and rushed to Zeng Kui's residence.

Fang Wenjie came to Zeng Kui's room alone.

Before Fang Wenjie could knock on the door, Zeng Kui walked out of the room.

At this moment, Zeng Kui changed into a brand new Taoist robe and a new shoulder bag, which was much better than before.

"Who are you?"

Zeng Kui asked at the old and young man in front of him who was dressed in a very simple manner.

The little old man has been outside his room for a few minutes, and has been walking around all the time, which makes him feel a little upset when he listens inside.

"The little old man Fang Wenjie met the Taoist priest."

Fang Wenjie bowed directly to Zeng Kui without any prefecture.

"It turns out that it is the prefect who is currently there."
