Sun Changming seemed to be very moved, but he still asked: "But the five major forces of Chaotian Division are reunited, how should we proceed? Can Master Lu give me the truth? If Master Lu can't do this in the end, I will do it. This chief priest is only an idle position in the chief minister's yamen, and he also hates Lord Liu Zhi, I am afraid that he will be unhappy in the future, and it will be difficult to move an inch in the Chaotian Division."

Lu Fanglong still refused to speak, but smiled inscrutably, and said, "Why did the Chaotian Division split? But why did the five major forces dare not stand up and ask the court to set up a new yamen? Something has to be done.”

Sun Changming's heart skipped a beat, and he could already tell that it was the situation that Lu Guangxiao, Liang Yuzhi and others were most worried about: He Tianyou had come back to life!

The Chaotian Division was split because He Tianyou was in seclusion and no matter what, the five major forces did not set up another mountain, and he was also worried that He Tianyou did not know whether he really died. The key to everything lies in this commander-in-chief.

"Is there no requirement for the chief sacrifice?" Sun Changming asked: "After all, it is a major event like sacrifice to the sky, and anyone can do it?"

"Of course not, that's one of the main reasons I invited Master Sun to come here today. Before appointing the chief priest, Master Sun needs to go to Fengtiantai and conduct a ceremony by the fire pond. If you can pass, it will prove that you are qualified to be the chief priest. sacrifice."

Sun Changming seemed hesitant, and Lu Fanglong said: "Actually, you can rest assured that the candidates for offering sacrifices to the heavens are not as strict as the outside world thinks. We have analyzed that as long as they are favored by God, they can become chief sacrificers. The person who is a man must be favored by God, so we have great confidence in Master Sun."

Sun Changming nodded slowly: "Okay, when is this ceremony scheduled?"

"Give us a little time, and I'll pick you up in person when I'm ready."

The two sides reached a preliminary agreement. After the negotiation, Sun Changming stayed for a while before leaving. He didn't go to see Liu Zhi and Lu Guangxiao, but went back to his residence and fell asleep.

He was very quiet on the way back from Qingtang Court, and it seemed that he was not being followed and monitored. Master Sun doesn't believe it.

But along the way, he kept trying various means, but found nothing. This made Sun Changming even more afraid to act rashly.

If He Tianyou really came alive, it would be terrifying! Before he retreated, he was already the six honors of Yuanhou Jing, the real "Baili Hou" in the cultivation world! After breaking through, he must have been promoted to the seventh realm "King Xiu". The monks in this realm, like the kings with different surnames who have been canonized in the world, have their own independent territory, and everything in the territory is decided by him.

Xiuwang's "fiefdom" is the small world that he plays by himself. In this realm, there are a total of six opportunities to evolve small worlds with different characteristics. Pull the enemy into the world of Xiaotiandi to fight, no one is the opponent of the owner of Xiaotiandi. Even the sixth realm may be killed in seconds!

Although Liu Zhi is already in the seventh realm, he has been busy with official business since he was promoted, and he didn't even have time to settle down and consolidate his realm. Naturally, he did not evolve the first small world to reach the level of "one realm".

In the face of such a terrifying opponent hiding in the dark, Sun Changming felt that he could not be too cautious. After all, a Seventh Great Realm wants to kill him, and Liu Zhi is afraid that he can't stop him.

The sword girl in black might be able to block the opponent's blow, but in the Xuanyuan Cave, the power it can transmit is limited, and the second blow is suspended.

Sun Changming was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. He carefully sorted out the whole thing in his mind, and had a new view: the situation should not be that bad.

If He Tianyou had really left the customs, the chief yamen should have united the entire Chaotian Division with great fanfare. After all, He Tianyou was the commander-in-chief, and the entire Chaotian Division had to obey his orders.

As long as he becomes the "King of Xiu", among the five major government officials, except for Liu Zhi, I am afraid that they will surrender immediately. Only Liang Yuzhi, who may wait and see Liu Zhi's attitude, hesitate for a while.

After uniting most of the Chaotian Division's power, He Tianyou also had an overwhelming advantage in the face of Liu Zhi.

Now that the General Secretary Yamen has laid out in advance, and even attracted himself to weaken Liu Zhi, it was more like He Tianyou had hope of breaking through, but he had not really left.

But even so, Sun Changming would not carelessly think that Lu Fanglong and the others were really unprepared for themselves, so that they could openly inform Lu Guangxiao and Liu Zhi.

It's just that I haven't found out what the secret method is.

Having figured out this section, Sun Changming relaxed a bit, but he felt as if he had overlooked something... For the second time, he began to sort out clues in his mind, but he was always unable to pierce that layer of window paper.

"where is the problem?"

Unable to find the key point, Sun Changming became more and more restless in his heart, but at this time, his second brother appeared again: Big brother, big brother, when can I go to Taiye Lake?

Sun Changming is not irritable and takes the temper of his family to get angry, and patiently explained to the second brother: How long has it been? You wait patiently, brother has been very busy recently...

The little loach clearly sensed the big brother's emotions. Instead of grumbling like before, he screamed angrily: Who is offending my big brother, I will go and swallow him, chew it up and feed it back to the big brother!

The eldest brother felt warm in his heart, soothed it and said, "I don't need my second brother to go out for the time being, I can handle the eldest brother myself. Don't worry, after a while, I will arrange the Taiye Lake affairs for you.

After being interrupted by the second child, Sun Changming calmed down again, and when he started to think again, he suddenly became enlightened: the chief yamen suddenly started to take care of things. Liang Yuzhi told him that it was the first time since Ode College had an accident. The case begins.

Before that, Lu Fanglong had always been An Xin as the mascot of the chief yamen. He also went to the first round of the Dragon and Snake Ranking assessment, but he did not express any opinion.

This time point is very critical. Sun Changming secretly wondered: "It was after I entered the capital, and even after I entered the reward tower... Could this matter have anything to do with me?"

After making this discovery, Sun Changming pushed back again, and some contexts in the whole incident became clear...

…

In the next few days, Sun Changming pretended to be very busy, as if he was fully investigating Tang Zexiongyi's case. Liu Zhi asked Ruan Sansheng to ask several times. Lord Sun just assumed that there was no clue, and refused to see Lord Liu.

He tried several times, such as disappearing suddenly and then secretly monitoring the movement, and even once took the risk of using the "Breakthrough" magical power-finally, he could confirm that Lu Fanglong was not sending Daxiu to stare at him secretly.

Then they must have other means to prevent themselves from informing.

However, Master Sun could avoid Liu Zing and Lu Guangxiao, but he could not avoid the emperor. The emperor sent the **** around him to ask him about the speeding palace. Master Sun could only enter the palace and explain to His Majesty.

"Wei Chen urges the Nine Clouds Sect every day, but Your Majesty also knows that the flying car palace is huge. In addition to the flying car palace, there are also a large number of random flying instruments, so the Nine Clouds Sect estimates that it will take at least three months to complete. ."

The emperor scratched his chin and couldn't wait: "It's still three months..."

Sun Changming was already prepared, and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to speed up the speed, why don't you pass the order to the Military Equipment Division and ask them to send equipment divisions to support the Nine Clouds Sect?"

The emperor rolled his eyes: "Then why not let Jiuyunzong come directly to the capital?"

Sun Changming said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, once you enter the capital, the future affairs will be out of your control. The money given by [Wan Lisheng]... must not be enough to spend. For now, the plan should be to go on tour first and find a way. Build the speeding palace as soon as possible."

The emperor nodded, and he didn't know the quarrel between Sun Changming and the Ministry of Industry, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, I will make an order, Sun Aiqing will definitely urge the Nine Clouds Sect, try to make two... no, within a month and a half, Build my flying palace."

"The minister leads the order."

As long as these craftsmen go to Jiuyunzong, then don't come back. After refining and building the palace, turn around and go to my rogue Jiangdusi.

And when he entered the palace today, Sun Changming's purpose was not only for those craftsmen. He said to the emperor again: "Your Majesty, Jiuyunzong is not a royal craftsman after all, and I am not familiar with the various regulations of the speeding palace used by Your Majesty to travel. Check the gate, His Majesty's visit is very important, and the etiquette should not be taken lightly."

The emperor felt very annoyed: "If it is refined in the capital, how can there be so many things?"

Sun Changming still used that excuse, and said quietly: "Isn't this a lack of money, you have to plan carefully."

The emperor said again: "Then why is it so troublesome, let the Ministry of Rites send some people to supervise it."

Master Sun looked loyal to the monarch and patriotic: "I am not at ease, but it is better for me to work harder and supervise it in person."

The emperor was a little moved: "Aiqing has a heart. Anyway, I'm sure, you take the imperial edict to the Diange Pavilion, and there will be no obstacles there."

The emperor sent another **** to send Sun Changming over. The Royal Academy was not only a place for the royal family to study and practice, but also responsible for cultivating high-level scholars.

Therefore, since the establishment of the Great Wu Dynasty, all kinds of classics collected by the royal family are also stored in the Diange Pavilion.

It is divided into two areas. The deep part is a forbidden area and must not be opened to foreign ministers. There are not only top martial arts books cultivated by high-level practitioners and royal masters, but also various confidential documents.

There are a large number of various books on the periphery, and the part about royal ceremonies is also among them.

The Royal Academy received the imperial decree and took Sun Changming to the Dian Pavilion. There are layers of bans in the depths, not to mention that Sun Changming is only the fifth realm, even if he dares to enter the sixth realm, there is only one dead end. So he was very relieved to let him check it himself, and no one was sent to follow.

Gu Yi

Sun Changming didn't move those ceremonial books - just go to the Ministry of Rites to find a small official - Master Sun's purpose was other books.

In the past few days, he has inquired about it from various sources. The periphery of the Diange Pavilion may be the most complete "encyclopedia" of self-cultivation in the entire Great Wu Dynasty. Lu Fanglong's means of monitoring himself must be very unpopular, and Sun Changming wanted to find a reference from here.

Anyway, the emperor did not limit how long he could stay in the Diange Pavilion and how many times he could come. The ancient books stored here are so vast that I can't find them today and come back tomorrow.

Master Sun is so diligent in royal affairs, what more can the people in the Royal Academy say?

A few days later, Master Sun found several possibilities, one of which was witchcraft, the other one was victoriousness, and the third was easy arithmetic. Witchcraft used to be very popular in the ancient Hongmeng period. Human races and demon races have inheritances, and they can compete with self-cultivation.

However, witchcraft is too mysterious, and many principles are not even explained by the wizards themselves, and they do not know why.

But witchcraft is mysterious and unpredictable, and maybe there is a legacy that suddenly resurfaces.

Victory Disgust is similar to a curse, but more complex and more difficult to defend against.

Easy arithmetic was born out of Fuxi's sixty-four hexagrams, and rhetoric can be counted as everything in the world. According to the method of easy arithmetic, as long as you know the approximate trajectory of Sun Changming's movements, you can calculate his purpose.

That is to say, if there is really a strong man who is easy to do arithmetic on Lu Fanglong's side, then he can calculate whether Sun Changming is going to inform the two adults.

These three methods are all possible, but Master Sun is still unable to determine which one is, so he can take targeted precautions.

"Speaking of which... Easy Arithmetic is the least likely, and Victory Deterrence is the highest."

Easy arithmetic is more like a magical legend. Even the records kept in the Diange Pavilion are all mysterious "stories", and it is difficult to find circumstantial evidence. Moreover, in order to monitor oneself with the hexagram deduction method of Yishushu, the need for Yishushu is very advanced - such a character should not be unknown all the time.

Victory-weariness is still a kind of cultivation method. Liang Yu refers to the Great Compassion Boxing Mantra of adults, which also has a certain connection with Victory-weariness. There are many monks who practice Victory Repulsion, and it is easy to appear masters.

As for the possibility of witchcraft, it is between the two, because this inheritance has been cut off after all, but there are still a considerable number of "witchcraft" living in the world, and people in Dawu often become witches because of one of them. By. It's just that without the guidance of the master, it is difficult to cultivate witchcraft to a very high level with these witchcraft alone, so the possibility of witchcraft exists, but it is not high.

After Sun Changming returned to his residence today, he quietly took out the jade bead that sealed Liang Yuzhi's punch. There is a certain relationship between the Great Compassion Boxing Mantra and the Victory Repulsion Technique. If Sun Changming was really hit by Lu Fanglong's Victory Repulsion Technique, urging this punch might have some influence.

But Master Sun didn't intend to do this. He didn't want to startle the snake, and he also had to be on guard against the possibility of witchcraft and easy arithmetic.

At this time, in the Jiaofang Division, Mr. Liang, who was drinking in his familiar sister's room and listening to Qu'er, moved his eyes and seemed to feel something, and then quickly returned to normal, still laughing and drinking with the beauties beside him.

…

After five days of preparation, Lu Fanglong finally came to see Sun Changming in the evening: "Master Sun, the chief yamen is ready."

Sun Changming nodded: "Okay, let's go now."

Fengtiantai is actually a mountain in an unnamed barren mountain forty miles north of the capital city. Most of these barren hills are low soil slopes, but the Fengtian Terrace in the middle is thousands of feet high, but it is a tall stone peak.

The ten miles around Fengtiantai are forbidden areas, and even when the chief yamen does nothing, there are nine hundred captains guarding the area. Anyone who breaks into it will be mercilessly killed.

Lu Fanglong and Sun Changming rode in a carriage and left the city before the gates of the capital closed. When they arrived at Fengtian Terrace, the stars were beginning to rise, and the stars gradually became brighter.

The carriage passed through the layers of defenses. Sun Changming noticed it secretly, and found that the defenses around Fengtiantai seemed to be even tighter tonight. On the way, he had already seen no less than ten Fifth Great Realms! This made Sun Changming once again affirmed that the background of the chief minister's yamen should not be underestimated.

The chief yamen has been doing nothing for such a long time, but still hides such a powerful force. Obviously, He Tianyou already had a plan before he went into seclusion.

Lu Fanglong said: "The strength of the chief yamen is by no means inferior to any of the five major forces, or even better. It's just that over the years, we have followed Mr. He's instructions and have been keeping a low profile."

Sun Changming nodded: "In this way, it is not difficult for the Chaotian Division to reunite."

"exactly."

When the carriage arrived at Fengtian Terrace, Lu Fanglong said, "Master Sun, please get off the carriage. We are going to the Fengtian Terrace on foot."

This huge stone peak has been fully developed by the Chief Secretary Yamen. Standing under the mountain peak, it looks like a tall stone platform built artificially. There is a long stone staircase in the center, extending to the top. Every ten feet on both sides of the stone steps, there are a pair of tall stone pillars with various divine beasts carved on them.

Lu Fanglong led Sun Changming up step by step. He seemed to be deliberately controlling the time. When he reached the top, it happened to be full of stars. Even if there were no lights on the Fengtian Terrace, it was silver and white, and he could see everything here.

A flat stone flat was opened in the center of the roof, and a huge ring in the center was carved with dense array lines. On the left side of the ring, there was a fire pit made of rough rough stones, and the embers in the center were flickering. A dim red light, as if there were flames burning below.

Lu Fanglong said: "Master Sun, please stand beside the fire pond. I will handle the next step. You don't have to do anything, just relax your mind completely. If you can get the approval of the fire pond, you will be the chief priest of Chaotian tomorrow!"

Sun Changming nodded: "Okay."

He came to sit cross-legged beside the fire pond, Lu Fanglong took out some simple bronze sacrificial vessels, a total of seven pieces were placed around Sun Changming, and then he muttered words.

A faint black shadow suddenly floated out of Sun Changming's body, and Sun Changming's face changed: he really has the means left by Lu Fanglong on himself! When did you plant it on yourself? Is there a problem with the food and drink in Qingtang Court?

But there was no time for Master Sun to investigate deeply. Among the seven bronze sacrificial vessels surrounding him, a gray light band rose from each, and merged with the faint black shadow, which had already bound Sun Changming firmly!

Sun Changming suddenly felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, and the seven ancient sacrificial vessels were extremely heavy!

Lu Fanglong finally showed a smile and said, "Thank you, Master Sun, for your dedication. The chief yamen will definitely remember the kindness of Master Sun, hahaha..."

Sun Changming hissed and asked, "Lu Fanglong, what are you trying to do!?"

Lu Fanglong didn't answer, but turned around and knelt down, kowtow and said loudly, "Welcome the commander-in-chief to bring your lord back to his place!"

At this time, on the Fengtian platform, all the commanders of the yamen knelt down together: "Congratulations to the commander-in-chief and the return of your lord—"

The voice was loud and high-pitched, with an expectation after years of forbearance, and it spread far under the stars. Afterwards, within the ten-mile forbidden area around Fengtiantai, voices would gather together: "Welcome the commander-in-chief to return the adults!"

On that stone step, eight tall captains appeared, wearing bright Chaotian Division uniforms, carrying a heavy black coffin, and quickly reached the top of the peak, respectfully putting down the coffin.

boom!

The coffin fell to the ground, and it seemed to echo the stars in the sky.

A deep voice came from the coffin: "This seat will answer you."

Sun Changming was puzzled: "He Tianyou?"

"It's this seat, hehehe..." The coffin lid creaked, moved aside, and a figure sat up in the middle. Sun Changming took a closer look: This He Tianyou, where does he still look like?

He was wearing a full set of the commander-in-chief's uniform, withered all over, as if he was hanging on a wooden shelf. The hair is gray and dry, and the whole person is like a mummified corpse. It is obviously in a state of exhaustion. I don't know what secret technique I used to keep it in a state of dying.

The mummified version of He Tianyou looked at Sun Changming, and Sun Changming only felt fear, because the eyeballs in the eye sockets had also completely dried up, shrunk into two black and yellow objects only the size of soybeans, and there was still dryness behind them. The meridians and blood vessels are connected, and with the rotation of the "eyeballs", these structures are involved, there is an indescribable strangeness!

He Tianyou opened his mouth, his dry chin opened and closed, making Sun Changming suspect that if he said a few more words, his chin would crack and fall off his face!

"This seat has been stuck in the six honors of Yuanhoujing, and seeing the end of life, I have to find another way to deceive heaven and earth with secret techniques, and enter this state of dying."

"But this seat is not helpless. This seat also has a life-changing technique that can inject all consciousness and cultivation into another excellent body."

Sun Changming shouted: "This move will greatly hurt the peace, even if you succeed, it will be difficult for you to enter the seventh realm, but you will only survive! Even if you took my body, you are still Yuanhou Jingliu Xun. , what are you going to use to compete with Liu Zhi for the control of Chaotian Division?"

He Tianyou had already stood up from the coffin, and with a rotten smell, he walked towards Sun Changming: "You too underestimate this seat. If this is the case, Da Wu has never been short of arrogance, just choose any one. Now. Why do I have to wait for nearly a hundred years to wait for a special candidate like you?"
