Chapter 40: Heavenly Punishment
The moon, like transparent ears, quietly appeared in the sky.
This Wuling City can be divided into four areas through four main streets. The place where Yi Yan came in is north. At this time, the street was already quiet, and the people in the city had already fallen asleep.
In the quiet Wuling City, there are two people walking on a street. One is a young man in his twenties, and the other is a young man in his teenager.
A young man in his twenties pointed to the houses on both sides of the street and said, "Junior Brother Yi, this street will be your place to practice in the future. You can come here to eat evil spirits every night. If you want to practice magic weapons, you can start practicing now."
"Yes, senior brother." said the young man.
"However, you must be careful. At the beginning, you can only eat the evil of one family. You can only start eating the evil again after five days, but you can only eat the evil of one family for one hour. After refining it into spiritual power, you can only eat the evil of another family. You must never eat the evil of five families in a day."
"Yes, senior brother, I remember it all."
"Well, I know, you have always been smart. Come on, today is the day you first eat evil spirits, I will protect you." The young man said with a smile.
He pointed to a family on the street and said, "Just this one, this family has a lighter evil spirit and does not have that much impact on those who eat evil for the first time."
"Okay, senior brother, please give me."
After saying that, the young man came to the door of the house, pressed his hands on the door, and almost pressed his mouth against the crack of the door. He saw him sucking hard, his mouth full, like the bulging mouth when a toad screamed, slowly fading away, and swallowing his throat up and down.
Sweat slowly appeared on the boy's face and his body trembled. His mouth first turned blue, and slowly, reddish brown spots appeared on his face, and then his whole body twitched and fell to the ground.
The young man only watched from the side, and he squatted down until the young man stopped moving, and reached into the young man's breath with his hands. Finally, he showed a cold smile, picked up the young man and left.
But when he turned around, he found a man standing behind him. Under the moonlight, he was dressed in black, looking short and thin, holding a sword in his left hand, standing there quietly.
The young man was shocked and asked, "Who are you?"
The visitor did not answer, but just asked coldly: "Who is Mu Chuan you?"
"Who are you?" The young man's intention to kill him suddenly appeared. When his junior brother was eating evil for the first time, he refused to save him. This matter could not be known to anyone.
"Do you recognize Mu Chuan?" the other party asked again.
The young man's face looked struggling. He suddenly said nothing, raised his hand and drew in the void. At the same time, he recited a magic spell in his mouth. As his fingers quickly slashed the void, an illusory head appeared, and opened his mouth and bit the short and thin man in black, but the man disappeared like smoke.
A sword light appeared behind the young man, and the cold spike pointed at the back of the young man's head, and the young man was heartbroken. Another voice sounded: "Do you recognize Mu Chuan?"
"It's the master of the family." The young man said in a trembling voice. He had no idea how the person in front of him disappeared, nor how the sword pointing at him appeared behind him. This only shows that the magic of this mysterious man who suddenly appeared was much stronger than himself.
"Take me to see him."
"Yes." said the young man, paused but said again: "Just, I, my junior brother..."
"Don't worry, I didn't see anything."
"Thank you, senior. I'll take you to see your family teacher."
After saying that, he picked up the slowly cold boy on the ground and walked forward. He didn't feel any breath behind him. Looking back, the cold eyes of the person behind him rushed into his eyes. He forced a smile and quickly turned around and headed forward.
Go forward, turn left and right, come to a high courtyard and arrive in front of a door.
He knelt down on the ground and suddenly said in a sad voice: "Master, Master, I, Junior Brother, he..."
The door of the room was opened, and an old man walked out. He looked at the young man holding in his hands. His face turned cold. He stepped out to the young man and asked angrily: "What's going on? Didn't you ask you to protect him?"
"Master, someone has entered the city, he..." The young man pointed back. He had already thought about pushing everything on the person behind him while on the road. This idea was obviously much better than the excuse he had thought about before, but he wondered why Master hadn't noticed the strange person behind him.
But when he pointed back, he found that there was no one behind him, so he quickly turned back, and the light of the Taoist sword flashed behind his master and stabbed into the back of his head. He was shocked and could not believe that his master would be killed in this Wuling City.
Then I saw the master turn into a few spiritual lights and dissipate.
When the young man saw his master appearing on a roof, he saw his face pale. When he raised his hand, a flame scattered out of thin air, rising from the earth and surging from the sky.
This is in Wuling City, so he was born out of thin air with magic in every move. If he was outside the city, it would naturally be impossible to do this, but in the city.
The gloomy boy in black in the eyes of the young man was about to be engulfed by the fire. He suddenly jumped into the void and disappeared. When he appeared again, he was already above his master's head, a faint blue light flashed.
He was extremely shocked. He found that the powerful master had reacted a little, and he only felt frightened when the sword pierced into his body.
The master fell down, and a man was behind him, wearing black clothes, with no flesh on his face, looking cold and gloomy.
The young man opened his mouth wide, and he could no longer make a sound.
On the sacrificial slope outside the city, only the wife and Miss Lin stood there.
"You must be wondering why your mother treats Yi Yan like that, right?" said the lady.
"Yes, even if he has some skills, he won't be able to treat him like this by his father's inheritance, let alone what the things he inherited are of use, and it can never be improved, and most of them are probably incomplete." Miss Lin said.
"Everyone thinks so, so after coming, he was just arranged to be in Baipi Courtyard. The first thing was to observe his nature. After all, his father did that. After more than a month in the courtyard, I thought he could only get spiritual power and could not get those spells. But now that your father asked him to come here, it can be seen that he is not what we think."
"I heard from Yingzi that he killed Yuanyuan and Mu Yun." said the lady.
"What, how did he kill them?" Miss Lin asked in surprise.
"It should be five days ago. If he killed Mu Yun, he would definitely be chased by the Mu family. Being able to come here shows that he not only gained spiritual power, but also had a lot of magic."
"Yuanyuan is dead, and Mu Yun is dead, too." Miss Lin said in surprise. She was a little unbelievable. She was still a good person not long ago.
"Yuanyuan is actually a member of the national teacher, and she knew it when your father came to Yunnan. The reason why he kept her by her was because the national teacher behind her was very troublesome." The wife's words surprised Miss Lin again. But she said quickly: "Dad is definitely not afraid of the national teacher."
"Your father is not afraid of anyone, but how can you let your father have one more enemy? He has many enemies." The lady said. Her tone was nothing special, but Miss Lin felt that the feelings in this words were so deep.
The lady continued: "She died at most, there will be something to do in the future, but Mu Yun died is different. He is the son of Mu Punan, the Mu family, and is very favored. Mu Punan is the second son of the head of the Mu family. He ranks fourth in the whole family's young and middle-aged row, and has a high status in the Mu family. You know these things. Now that he dies, the Mu family will definitely take revenge."
"Why did my father send him here?" Miss Lin didn't know much about the Mu family, and she didn't know very well that her father had an irreconcilable conflict with the Mu family. On the contrary, she thought Mu Yun was good and could be friends before. He was naturally referring to Yi Yan.
"Do you think Mu Yun is not bad?"
"yes."
"Haha, because he is from the Mu family, as long as their family members are willing to make friends with others, in general, everyone will think they are a good person."
"Why, is it because of soul-catching? But I didn't feel that he had used soul-catching."
"Of course he won't use it, you'll know once he uses it."
Miss Lin was silent for a while, but said, "Since Yi Yan killed Mu Yun, why did Dad let him come here? He was taken away by Yuanyuan and could expel him from the mansion. In this case, they could not say anything about us."
The lady glanced at Miss Lin and said, "Yi Yan is our person after all, and he is Yi Liangkang's son, which is known to everyone. Moreover, we are not afraid of these local forces dominated by the Mu family. As long as they have evidence of disturbing the universe and stealing dragon energy, they can use the Governor's Seal to invite the Emperor's Sword over Yunnan and cut off their souls."
"But, I heard from my father that the sword of the emperor in Yunnan Province is under semi-banned." Miss Lin said.
"Yes, that's because the fortune of the Qing Dynasty has been declining over the years. Wars are everywhere, people are not attached to each other, and the country is uneasy, so the power of the Emperor's Sword has dropped greatly. In this Yunnan land, there are more thieves, families are numerous, and the people are resentful, and the power of the Emperor's Sword has dropped greatly." The wife said.
Lin grew up at home. Although she was not passionate about these things, he still knew many things that ordinary practitioners did not know. For example, there is a "Heavenly Punishment" formation above these nine heavens. When this formation was launched, it was extremely powerful. Few practitioners could avoid it unless they hid in a foreign land.
However, the "Heaven Punishment" of all dynasties could not protect the person who controlled the world, because the power of "Heaven Punishment" comes from the hearts of the people, and some people call it faith and trust and loyalty to Chaoyan. When every country is most prosperous, it is also the time when the "Heaven Punishment" is the most powerful.
It is said that when the Qing Dynasty was established, the founding king integrated the sword used for war in his hand into the "Heaven Punishment". From then on, this heavenly punishment is also called the Emperor's Sword. There is an invisible Emperor's Sword over every province.
Miss Lin looked at Ye Se and suddenly said, "Mom, do you want to see how capable he is?"
"It's not all." The lady said calmly.
"I guess he can't get out." Miss Lin said.
Miss Lin didn't know how worried the seemingly calm lady was at this time. She knew clearly that it would be impossible for Yi Yan to come if there was no one around her husband.
Although she had known that Yuanyuan was a member of the national teacher for a long time, she had never exposed it because she was afraid that the national teacher would be unfavorable to her husband and did not want to give the powerful and vindictive national teacher excuses. But Yi Yan killed Yuanyuan and at the same time, Mu Yun. The wife knew that this disrupted her husband's arrangement.
Mu Yun's death brought the relationship between the Governor's Office and the various Yunnan families represented by the Mu family to the extreme.
So she wanted to untie the seals of the Chaoyan seal on the way to Tianlong Temple.
The Governor's seal in the Governor's Mansion has a strong sealing ability, but the premise is that the official seal of Anran in the county governments in the entire Yunnan province must at least more than half of the seals of the county magistrates can echo the Governor's seal in order to exert his greatest sealing ability. But now, the sealing power that the Governor's seal can show is at most one or two. It can be seen that most of the official seals in the entire Yunnan province are sealed.
Every time an official seal is untied, it will add power to the Governor's Seal, and it will also increase the power to the Emperor's Seal in the Forbidden City. If you want to issue an "Imperial Imperial Imperial" that can invite the Emperor's Sword, the Emperor's Seal will consume a lot of spiritual power. There are rumors that the spiritual power in the Emperor's Seal can no longer be branded with the talisman seal that can invite the Emperor's Sword.
It is not a simple matter to unseal those county seals or prefecture seals. The people's spirit in that area must be integrated with the big seal. Officials and courts call it the people's spirit or national destiny, while other practitioners call it the evil spirit.
For example, the evil spirit of a city in Wuling City belongs to Mu Chuan, who is beside the county magistrate. Because of his years in the city, the city has almost been built into a temple, making the seal of the county magistrate no longer accept the wishes of the people and the people's wishes.
If you want to unseal the county seal, you can only kill Mu Chuan.
This was her temporary decision, which could relieve the pressure on the Governor, and the other hand, she could try Yi Yan's strength.
Suddenly, the fourth housekeeper walked over quickly. He said, "Miss, the evil clouds in Wuling City are in chaos."
He was the one who followed Mrs. Zheng when she was young, so even if Mrs. Zheng got married, he still called him Miss.
"Yi Yan succeeded."
The lady smiled and said, "The master really has vision."
"Yes, he probably has inherited most of Yi Liangkang's spells." said the fourth housekeeper.
