As Jun Qianzi's voice interrupted, the talisman burned and annihilated on its own, turned into ashes, and dissipated in the wind.

Lian Xuanxiao stood silently holding the sword, his eyes slowly lowered, and in a trance, he seemed to have a few years older.

"well..."

He sighed, put his sword into the sheath, and lifted the cuff of his right hand.

A deep charred scar was engraved on the thin arms.

The scar extends from the elbow to the shoulders, chest, and heart, and spreads like a spider web.

It seemed as if he had life, and it appeared and appeared with every breath he breathed.

Lian Xuanxiao lowered his sleeves, faced Chang'an, and stared at the country he loved.

I don't know how long I can last...

He shook his head, his figure disappeared, leaving only the desolate and lifeless pits in the forest, silently facing the sky.

———

The fire was put out.

Chen Danqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he looked down at Chang'an City filled with smoke.

The plan formulated by the attackers of Chang'an should not be vicious. If it is a fire caused by talismans, then the Academy's Fushu Department can easily extinguish it.

However, the fire caused by giant toothed whale oil is not affected by magic. Even if it rains, it is difficult to extinguish and spread easily.

Fortunately, everyone responded in time and rescued properly.

In addition, not all fireworks in the market have exploded successfully.

Finally, the disaster did not move in the worst direction.

And the chaotic wind that enveloped the city slowly dissipated because the disaster did not intensify further, and I don’t know where to go.

Suddenly—

Shen Tuyu flew out of the palace and stopped in front of Chen Danqiu.

"Senior brother,"

Chen Danqiu greeted, "How is Your Majesty?"

"It's very safe in the dark room of the Daming Palace."

Shen Tu Yu paused for a moment and smiled bitterly, "I'm still angry."

The emperor's rage is understandable.

Jinwu Guard, the Fufu Department and other institutions have made a full year preparation for the security of the Yue King's wedding.

But this accident still happened.

The royal nobles, court ministers, and missions from various countries at the wedding were almost taken down, and the entire Chang'an City was also caught in the sea of ​​fire and almost burned to white ground.

The culprit must be found.

Shen Tuyu said: "In the shortest time, Jinwu Guard will propose to hold the Qiqiao Festival, craftsmen who make fireworks and lamps, and guards who check the goods entering and leaving the city gate, etc. All those who may involve attackers will be controlled.

The number is as high as three thousand."

Chen Danqiu frowned and said, "So many people?"

"I don't know which link has made a mistake, and I'm still under investigation."

Shen Tuyu frowned and said, "When my subordinates were arrested on the list just now, many people on the list either disappeared mysteriously or committed suicide.

It's not like the secret spies of Zhou, Jing, or the Turks. It's more like... the Thousand Machine Puppet Technique of Taixuan Sect of the former Sui Dynasty."

"What?!"

Chen Danqiu's eyelids twitched. Taixuan Sect was one of the most powerful hidden sects in the former Sui Dynasty. It liked to collect epigraphy and stone cultural relics and study ancient secret techniques the most.

Their Thousand Machine Puppet Technique can perfectly control those with lower cultivation than themselves, making them a puppet.

As long as the number of thoughts and thinking speed can keep up, you can even control hundreds or thousands of people at the same time!

Food vendors who warmly entertain customers on the street, big-bellied merchants, yamen runners who fish in troubled waters, and even singers in romantic places,

In such a big city, anyone may be a puppet.

The threat to social order is incomparable to any secret technique.

"How is the situation?"

Before the people arrived, the sound had arrived. Lian Xuanxiao flew down from the clouds and descended to the front of Shen Tuyu and Chen Danqiu.

The two bowed and quickly introduced the current situation in Chang'an City.

"The monk who released the Thousand Machine Puppet Technique had already smelled the sound of the wind and escaped from Chang'an. However, Chang'an Weijing had already recorded his breath."

Shen Tuyu said: "As long as he appears again, he can lock it directly."

"Um."

Lian Xuanxiao nodded without comment.

Chen Danqiu hesitated for a moment and asked: "Master, this attack..."

"Your son,"

Lian Xuanxiao said lightly: "There is indeed his shadow behind this."

Shen Tuyu and Chen Danqiu looked at each other and both fell silent.

The bloody smell brought by the defection more than ten years ago is still unforgettable. At that time, they were not the two worshipers and sacrificial wine, but also witnesses of the incident.

"I'll leave it to you here."

Lian Xuanxiao said, flying towards Furong Garden.

"Tsk."

Shen Tuyu smacked his lips in a complicated mood. With Jun Qianzi's talent and popularity, if he did not defect, he would definitely be able to become the boss.

He knew that the Academy and the State of Yu were far more terrifying than the thousands of troops of the State of Zhou and Jing.

"Mr. Shentu!"

Qi Ji, deputy commander of the tutu department, took off with the help of talismans and quickly said to Shen Tuyu and Chen Danqiu: "Situ Feng, who was previously detained in the sarcophagus forest, is missing."

———

Rounding.

The wheels rotated, and the carriage drove on the official road to the north.

Situ Yue, who was pale and messy with hair and beard, sat on the seat of the car.

He was still wearing heavy shackles on his hands and feet, and his body was covered with chains.

On the shoulders, there are two flesh and blood holes that run through the pipa bones.

The entire sea of ​​human energy is sluggish, the spiritual veins are shrinking, and there is no hope of regaining cultivation.

But his eyes were as sharp as ever.

"You dare to use the secret technique to rob me of the peace department under the nose of the peace department, and you are really brave."

Situ Feng spoke slowly, because he hadn't spoken for too long, his voice was hoarse like a millstone. "However, if you dare to betray Zhao Ming, you are no longer brave, but stupid."

Sitting opposite him was a smiling girl, Lu Yunan, a businessman from the northern Black Mountains.

"Mr. Situ was wrong. When did I betray Zhao Ming?"

Lu Yunan smiled and said, "Ya Jiu was afraid of being locked by Chang'an Weijing, destroying all the puppets, and also escaped from Chang'an and fleeing thousands of miles away.

Therefore, in her vision, I just released Li Luanfeng as I told me, and took the opportunity to leave Chang'an after completing the task.

No one knows you are here with me.

Even if Ya Jiu and the others know that you are missing in the disaster in the future, they will only think that it is the custody department or the academy that will transfer you to a more secret prison."

Zhao Ming's secret actions,

At the top, the Youqiong, who founded the organization.

Situ Zhu, Jun Qianzi, Yuansou, Gui Shao and other Zhuxiao monks all followed his orders.

Below this are core members like Jun Qianzi’s disciple Ya Jiu and Situ’s disciple Yu Shi,

And Lu Yunan and Li Ang are mastered and are ready to be absorbed into the organization's peripheral members.

Lu Yunan knew that Zhao Ming was unfathomable and countless powerful monks, but she still chose to risk the huge risk of being exterminated and robbed Situ Feng.

Even Situ himself couldn't understand this.

"My Qihai is destroyed, and you probably don't have the way to restore my cultivation,"

Situ Yue asked hoarsely: "I want to know, what are you planning?"

"Your Excellency was expelled from the Western Kingdom because of taboo research, and was not tolerated by the Yu Kingdom and Zhou Kingdom.

The Gu Master, no matter where he goes, he is always wary of being alert and guarded against.

Even in Zhaoming, who is full of evil people, there is no monk Zhuxiao willing to partner with you."

Lu Yunan smiled and said, "And I am willing to provide you with a stage to fully demonstrate your talents and use your witchcraft to achieve your exquisite witchcraft.

For example, the Turks.”

She took out a spherical glass container from under the carriage table.

In the container, a black mouse lying dying and covered with fleas,
