Chapter 344 The Court’s Actions

He Ping left the funeral matter to a group of servants in the Sheng Mansion. He gave a few temporary instructions and then rode back to Yujing City.

Yujing is the capital city, and the imperial court has its own rules. Even a Taoist master would not rely on his magic power to fly openly and honestly, so he could only ride on his horse and arrive at the north gate of the imperial city honestly.

This is also the Yamen of the North Department of the Evil Suppression Department, which is the government agency of the Great You imperial court that monitors the evil spirits and chaos among the people and is responsible for investigating crimes.

The Beishu Yamen also has the "Guixin Prison", which can arrest, interrogate, execute and execute on its own without having to go through the general judicial institutions. It has great power. It is only controlled by Emperor Dayou, and other government Yamen have no jurisdiction.

As soon as He Ping arrived outside the Beishu Yamen, he saw a huge monument erected outside the door, with the words "righteousness remains within, evil must not be done" written on it.

"The righteousness is within the body, so evil can't be done?"

He Ping dismounted, with a sneer on his lips.

"This inscription should be written by Emperor You of the second generation. This sentence comes from the medical classics. This Emperor You is a wise king. After the funeral of Emperor You of the first generation, he ascended the throne at a young age. Since he ascended the throne, he has done little corvee and low taxes, established education and education, advocated frugality, and abolished corporal punishment. He has an excellent reputation among the people... If righteousness exists, evil cannot be done. Unfortunately, the last sentence is "Where evil is gathered, other Qi must be deficient. If a person has righteous Qi, his body will be healthy. If his constitution is weak, evil Qi will invade. What about the current Dayou?"

He thought deeply in his heart, strode forward and walked into the North Office of Zhanxie Division.

…

The North Office of the Evil Slayer Division occupies a large area. Several ghost bats in black took him to a garden.

"This is where the boss works on weekdays. The boss has been waiting for you inside for a long time..."

The ghost bat leading the way had a knife on his waist and pointed forward. At the end of a narrow path, a garden could be seen.

Faintly, one can also hear the sound of a musical instrument.

"This piano sound..."

He Ping frowned slightly. After entering here, he did not risk using magic power to detect it.

There were two reasons why he didn't do this. First, there were many good people lurking in the Beishi Yamen. Apart from Situ Haoxing, who was the chief of the department, he could faintly feel that there were several Taoist-level auras.

There were strong and thick auras in the Beishu Yamen. If he rashly used his own magic energy to detect them, he would definitely attract the attention of these people.

"As expected, the imperial court does have a deep foundation. It is said from the outside that the number of Dao masters in Zhanxie Division is limited except for the chief. However, there are at least five Dao masters hidden in the Beishi Yamen..."

The iron mask last night was one of the nine envoys, and he was also one of the Taoists. He also knew another Taoist master, Ji Quji, who had practiced the Burning Wood Sword Qi. This person was not weak in strength, and the impression he had on him was that he was not weak. Very profound.

As for the second point, Beishu Yamen is an important place of the imperial court. In addition to being the stronghold of the Zhanxie Division in the capital, it is also the location of Guixin Prison. Guixin Prison has two functions. One is to detain and accommodate captured prisoners; This Guixin Prison can also suppress demons or evil spirits who practice evil arts.

It is said that Guixin Prison has nine levels. It is a forbidden area hidden under the Beishu Yamen, which is located underground. Ordinary prisoners imprisoned here will have a narrow escape from death after entering. Even if they do not die, they will have to shed several layers of skin.

In addition, since its establishment, Guixin Prison has imprisoned countless vicious masters of the heretical path, as well as suppressed some powerful demons, aliens, and demons. The entire Guixin Prison is full of formations and restrictions, and is heavily guarded. Historically, outsiders have been unable to enter except for positions above the deputy director.

"If it is true that Guixin Prison is on the ground of the North Office of the Zhanxie Division, as is rumored outside, then in this environment, outsiders may not be allowed to peep. If you are not careful, you may touch the internal formations or restrictions, causing Come and cause trouble..."

Due to these two considerations, he appeared to be very restrained and cautious along the way without revealing any flaws.

"Sheng Shanda, please come in!"

The ghost bat who led the way bowed his hand, turned around and left without explaining much.

Seeing this man's attitude, He Ping strode into the garden with his head held high. As soon as he entered, he felt full of vitality, with green willows floating in the air, flowers and plants blooming in the garden, and a sense of spring.

In this garden, there is also a green water lake. It is not a stagnant water, but a small lake that is led into the garden through a diversion canal.

There are rows of green willows on the shore, and there is a pavilion in the middle of the lake. The bead curtain on the pavilion is hanging down, and there is a figure inside, sitting there playing the piano.

"Is it a woman?"

He Ping glanced briefly, then moved his gaze to the nine-curved covered bridge leading to the pavilion in the center of the lake. There stood a slightly bleak figure. This man was wearing a python robe, which was a robe given to important officials of the imperial court. .

"It's Situ Haoxing..."

This was not the first time he saw the head of the Evil Slaying Division. He quickly stepped forward and said loudly: "My subordinate Sheng Yuzhou has met the head of the division."

Situ Haoxing stood on the covered bridge and stretched out his hand, throwing out some fish bait to feed the koi in the green water lake. The fish in this lake may usually eat well, and they are all fat and fat, as if they have been inflated. The ball doesn't look "koi" at all.

"This is Yuzhou, you and everyone are here."

Situ Haoxing's tone was very calm. He didn't look young either. He had a strong bun and slightly white hair on the temples, showing the color of weathering. This man had a majestic appearance and was not angry. He turned around and spoke in a voice. Without delay or delay: "How did the Sheng family's funeral go?"

"Sir, I have found some of the best coffin shops, and the materials I have selected are all of the highest quality. I must give the Sheng family a grand burial!"

He Ping stepped forward and handed over his hand without being humble, making sure to leave a good impression on his immediate superior.

"That's good."

Situ Hao , the emperor and I will stand behind you in this matter, as long as you handle the emperor's errands honestly, you don't have to worry about these little things."

"yes."

He Ping knew that this was Situ Haoxing trying to appease him, but he had already guessed that the court would adopt a wooing attitude toward him, a new entrant, especially since he and the Tantai clan had completely fallen out.

This is tantamount to completely offending the last prince of the Tantai family. It should be noted that he is a genuine master of manifesting spirits and one of the three major manifesting spirits overseas. The Tantai family was able to dominate one area after moving overseas and become a powerful force in the sea. One side relies on this tyrannical master of magic.

Anyone with a normal mind would never make an enemy of a manifest god. On the one hand, He Ping's performance surprised the Dayou court and Situ Haoxing, but on the other hand, they were also very satisfied with his actions. This is basically It is equivalent to tying oneself to the court's chariot, and is impeccable in terms of loyalty.

As for the bitter meat scheme, even my father and hundreds of people in the clan were wiped out. In terms of the bitter meat scheme, this was obviously excessive, not to mention that the court also captured a noble Princess Yunzheng from the Tantai family. .

This woman is a direct bloodline of the Tantai family and belongs to a close branch of the clan. She bleeds the blood of the noble Tantai clan. It is of great significance to the Tantai prince and the Tantai family. If you catch this woman, even if you don't get it, She tortured out some information, and also gained a very important hostage.

"By the way, sir," He Ping asked, thinking of the old man in gray robe.

"I don't know if the Taoist master who appeared in Sheng Mansion has been captured. This person is responsible for the long-lost Taoist method of 'Wu Jie Hai'. If he can capture this person, I think the Evil Division can also do it." I have one more way to enter the Tao and the righteous Dharma!"

That day, he regretted not catching the old man in gray robe with his own hands and trying to seize from him the method of entering the Taoism of the "Sea without Calamity". However, if the gray-robed old man falls into the hands of the Evil Slayer Division, He Ping can also rely on the Heaven-Seizing Technique and seize his heart to incorporate this power into his own body. It was also for this reason that he would speak out and find out the truth.

"Don't worry, Ji Quji and a worshiper from the royal family came out to hunt down that person. In a short time, they should be able to capture this Taoist master."

Situ Haoxing waved his hand.

"Let's not mention this matter for now. I came to you for another matter. In Yuzhou, the Holy Emperor has decreed that you will replace Huang Yuanhua, who resigned from the position of the Nine Chief Envoys, and serve as the Chief Envoy of the "Lie" Department. , I believe you already know this."

He Ping nodded.

"The Holy Grace is so great that all I can do is dedicate my whole life and die to repay the Holy Lord for His great kindness."

"Just keep these words in your heart. Saying them out will only appear to be lacking in sincerity."

Situ Hao

He Ping thought about it and realized that it was Black Iron Mask who truthfully reported what he said to Situ Haoxing that night. He quickly nodded and said: "It is an honor for me to serve the imperial court. What you said is really important to me." I mean, could it be useful for your subordinates?"

"You guessed it right."

Situ Hao After some experience, you must also have an understanding of the structure of the practice world. I think you must have heard of the name Bone Path, right?"

"nature."

He Ping nodded. He thought for a moment before speaking slowly: "The Bone Path is one of the six paths in the world, and it is also a strange space. According to records in ancient Taoist books, this secret realm is The projection of heaven onto this world creates a mysterious realm of void that overlaps with our world.

However, later, the great catastrophe of heaven and man broke out, and this secret realm was involved in the void fault. From then on, no one was allowed to live in the corpse path. Because of the original mutation, the boundless violence drawn from this world, and when the earth shattered, many people The corpse spirits buried underground were also devoured and sucked into that world. The Corpse Path was filled with all kinds of dead, turbid, corpse and funerary auras, making it the most dangerous place in the world. "

"That's right."

Situ Haoxing nodded in agreement.

"This is a statement handed down from ancient Dao sects. Whether it is true or not, it is widely circulated. The origin and evolution of Corpse Bone Dao has gone through too long a time, and it is difficult for outsiders to fathom it. However, one thing you said is right. Yes, the Corpse Path is a place where no one is allowed to live. That alien space is full of twists and turns of heaven and is full of dangers. Even a monk would find it difficult to survive in that time and space..."

"What do you mean, Lord Situ?" He Ping speculated and asked loudly: "Is it possible that my subordinates need to go to the Bone Path? But why is it necessary to make a special trip to a place like that?"

"The Corpse Bone Road may be dangerous, but it is also a place where treasures are hidden. Both Buddhist and Taoist sects have existed in the past dynasties, and monks from the Left Dao have sneaked into it to cultivate or collect materials for practicing magic. Yuzhou, Corpse You must have heard of the Pi Jiao sect, right?"

Situ Haoxing's voice was low and hoarse.

"This is a leftist cult. In the past, it was rampant in the five realms. Even the Buddhist and Taoist sects had nothing to do with this Shibi cult. It's just that the leader of the cult was outraged by the public and was attacked by all the sects. The leader of the Shibi cult was a smart man. , knowing that he was defeated by the joint efforts of various religions, he took away the countless treasures treasured by the religions, including a "Sutra of Great Sumeru Master Victorious Buddha King" that contains the experiences of many left-behind masters, and the ability to sacrifice and cultivate seventy-two bodies. The immortal mystical fetus of the "Immortal God General", as well as the White Bone Divine Boat, the religious tool of the Shilei Cult, were reportedly buried in the void by the Shilei Cult leader using the endless treasure hidden method of the Void and Heaven's Will, and were left for future generations. Those who are destined will receive it.”

When He Ping heard this, he was slightly startled. He had actually heard Dongmi's "Golden Yao Peacock" talk about this matter, but from what Situ Haoxing said, it could be that it was the treasure trove of Master Shibi. It's located in the Bone Path.

'There is really a possibility that Dugu Lin, who was born in the Nine Slough lineage, also sneaked into the Corpse Path. Could it be that the reason why Dugu Lin appeared in the Corpse Path was to look for Corpse Bones? The location of the leader's treasure trove? ! ’

In an instant, he thought of this joint. As a master from the Nine Slough lineage, Dugu Lin joined the Hunyuan Sect and the Shibi Sect successively. Considering his identity, his intention of entering the Corpse Bone Path seemed a bit strange. .

"Your Majesty, is it possible that you want me to reveal the treasures sealed in the void by the Lord Shibi with the endless treasures of heaven and earth?"

He asked further.

"Of course not. The Master of Shibi is a god-level master, and the many Zuodao masters who have joined forces with him are not weak. These people worked together to seal a large number of treasures, and they were deliberately hidden in the Corpse Path. Needless to say, the degree of danger is definitely not It can be taken down by just a mere Daoist."

Situ Hao Lord, there are also a large number of people and accompanying masters who will enter the corpse path together."

"Is this the court's plan?"

He Ping raised his eyebrows. He realized that this was quite a big move, and even the royal family of Dayou was dispatched on this trip. It seemed that Dayou had indeed grasped the whereabouts of the treasure trove of Master Shibi. Otherwise, there would never be such a big fight.

"Your mission is to accompany them, protect the princes, and at the same time ensure the smooth execution of this plan!"

Situ Hao Return after capturing the Bone Divine Boat. This time, no one can stop the imperial court’s intention!!!”
