MTL - All Over the World To Save My Wife-Chapter 122 The Swordsman and the Exorcist (8)
==============================
Gu Zhong raised his head and looked at the plaque inlaid with gold in the National Teacher's House. Even the plaque approved a hundred years ago was made of good agarwood, and it was carefully taken care of by special personnel. After many years The wind is blowing and the sun is shining, and it is also a bit outdated.
I don't know when a less obvious crack spanned the word "fu".
Gu Zhong's originally straight shoulders relaxed a little, and he looked far less alert than before.
Under the training, as if disciplined.
"I didn't expect the training of the National Teacher's Office to be so hard."
"Naturally, killing all the demons and monsters in the world is the lifelong goal of the people in the National Teacher's House. Even if the road is long and difficult, they will never back down. For this reason, they are not afraid of death. What is mere training? ?"
When speaking of the National Teacher's Mansion, the disciple raised his jaw proudly, obviously proud of being able to enter the National Teacher's Mansion, his eyes glowed with a different look, that is only for those with firm beliefs decisively.
"As for Senior Brother Chu, he was very talented since he was a child.
Aware of Ling Yan's eyes, this disciple also explained a little more to Chu Cheng, and looked at Chu Cheng with reverence, and I don't know if he really recognized Chu Cheng's strength, or because of Because of his status as a teacher's disciple.
"So, what happened in the palace?"
"It's better to wait until the Temple of Slaying Demons, and Senior Brother Lu will tell you."
Maybe this matter is not known to everyone in the National Teacher's House.
Chu Cheng understood the key in an instant, he nodded and stopped asking.
Self-training martial arts field and then nine steps up, is the Temple of Slaying Demons.
This name has achieved splendor and grandeur, and the decoration is not too much, which is almost the same as the palace of the palace.
It's just that the wide hall was empty at this time, and only one person stood under the steps in the hall with his hands behind his back, as if waiting for them to arrive.
"Senior Brother Lu, Brother Chu is here."
The disciple who led the way respectfully reported the report to the person in the hall.
He nodded towards the guiding disciple, and the disciple retired.
"Chu City, you are finally back."
Senior Brother Lu's indifferent tone could not be heard of anger or anger, and he did not even show other emotions to the other people brought by the younger brother, as if he had known it for a long time.
"Senior Brother Lu."
Chu Cheng respectfully saluted, this senior brother's seat is still above him.
"Why aren't you in the hall today?"
"Some time ago, the state teacher relapsed due to the old disease caused by the battle to seal the demons a hundred years ago, and the state is very bad. All the elders went to retreat for the state teacher. For the time being, I will be in charge of the government's affairs."
Senior Brother Lu rubbed his eyebrows, obviously the affairs of the mansion were not so easy to manage, and this sudden situation had already exhausted him.
When hearing about the relapse of the national teacher's old illness, Gu Zhong raised Ben's drooping eyes to look at this Senior Brother Lu, as if judging the authenticity of his words.
"What happened in Fuzhong? Why didn't you tell me?"
Chu Cheng's worries are beyond words, and the questioning is full of blame.
Senior Brother Lu asked in turn, and only then did he focus on the Ling family and others.
"You entered the capital only after receiving the decree of the king?"
This sentence is for Ling Yan and Ling Ying.
"Yes, the family has not entered the royal city for a hundred years, and we still feel that this is too strange."
Ling Yan was even more curious, what kind of event made the royal family break the previous convention.
"The queen is seriously ill, and the king is also in a panic."
Senior Brother Lu sighed and explained.
"The queen is seriously ill, what does that have to do with the family?"
Ling Ying looked incomprehensible.
"Two months ago, the queen suffered a serious illness and fell into a coma. At first I thought it was a disease, but the imperial physician did not improve after a long time of treatment. Until last month, the National Teacher's Office went to the palace to perform sacrifices as usual. It was found that the black mist was shrouded in the apse, and there was a demon vision."
Senior Brother Lu said numbly, it seems that he has said it many times.
"The devil is making trouble? It's impossible! The king has all the formations, and it is difficult for ordinary demons to enter, not to mention the palace formations that Wang Wei and the national teacher set up in the past, how can there be demons intrusion?"
As a disciple of the national teacher, Chucheng, who knew how safe the palace was, immediately jumped up with a look of disbelief.
"Everyone thought it was impossible, but it happened."
Senior Brother Lu took a deep breath, and continued with patience.
"The elders are not here. After the brothers and sisters found out, they initially held a skeptical attitude and sent a few clever disciples to investigate. No one would return.
Immediately after, we sent more people, even Qi Xuan went, but he didn't come back. "
Senior Brother Lu looked extremely solemn, and the information revealed in the words made Chu Cheng stunned.
Since the establishment of the National Teacher's Office, there has never been such a huge loss.
Qi Xuan is a rare genius of their generation, and Chu Cheng is the same as the national teacher, and he is also folded in the palace.
The demons occupying the apse are far beyond what these young disciples can deal with.
"Then the king has summoned all noble families to enter the capital, and we can understand that he wants to solve the demons in the palace, so why only young noble families?"
Ling Yan was even more puzzled about this summoning order. She knew that this demon was impossible to deal with, but she wanted to find some newborn calves who had not experienced too many fierce battles.
It always feels like a deliberate feeding of a demon.
"...the king's consideration, I don't know."
Senior Brother Lu was silent for a while, then shook his head.
"We checked into the inn yesterday, and I heard that there are many people in Beijing. They must be from aristocratic families."
"That's right, after I tell the truth about the situation, they will decide how to do freedom. After all, no one who enters the palace to investigate the apse has come back, nor is there a situation where there is no life or death. Needless sacrifices are necessary.
The same goes for the Ling family. "
Just like despising them, he died without saying anything.
This set of reverse aggressive tactics is quite accurate in grasping the character weaknesses of these young talents.
"The demons occupy the apse, and no one survives the demons. What about the palace? What about the palace people?"
Gu Zhong asked one after another, thinking that the king could still issue a summoning order, obviously this demon did not disrupt the entire palace.
"It's strange to say that the demon is only in the apse, and the rest of the palace has no effect. It can even be said that except for the queen who is unconscious, the palace staff in the apse are still good, only when they enter the palace The slayers of the demons disappeared one after another in the night.
Because of this, this incident has not been publicized so far, and the rest of us, except for us and the king, do not know the truth. "
"Looks like this is intentional."
Ling Yan murmured.
"This monster seems to be sane."
Senior Brother Lu's deep eyes collided with him, with countless worries.
If the demon is wise and can use tactics, it is no longer by instinct. Whether the current human situation will return to that hellish era is a possibility that no one dares to imagine.
"Into the palace?"
Unusually, Ling Ying did not interject. After sorting out all the clues, she turned her head and asked Ling Yan.
"...in."
Ling Yan made this decision with difficulty after being silent for a while.
Although this demon only shoots at the queen now, and there is no tendency to expand, but if it really keeps entrenched in the palace, what kind of actions will it make after it grows, and what kind of consequences will it cause? Losses are all unpredictable.
Besides, the exorcist takes exorcism as his own duty, so how can he really let the demon go unnoticed?
I can't wait for the elders of the National Teacher's House to leave the customs, or call the elders in the family to come to help. Avoiding battles once, they can avoid battles again and again, which will become their inner demons that cannot be erased for life.
Now that I know everything, being placed in such a situation is actually the only way to enter the palace.
"Thanks to the two young masters of the Ling family."
"Then I will send the two of you into the palace tonight."
In his words, he automatically ignored Chu Cheng and Gu Zhong, and only recognized the two of the Ling family.
"Senior Brother Lu, I'll go too!"
Chu Cheng blinked, glanced at Ling Yan, and quickly asked Ying automatically.
"...Fuzhong still has business for you to handle."
Senior Brother Lu politely refused.
"I believe that Senior Brother Lu can handle it well, and the palace is so dangerous, how can only two people be enough?"
Chu Cheng refused to obey, and argued with reason.
"...other disciples in the house will accompany you."
"They're not as good as me."
"...as you like."
After arguing and rubbing his throbbing temples, Senior Brother Lu gave up the argument with Chu Cheng.
"I have an unkind request, I am entrusted by the Ling family head to take care of the two young masters, I can't see them in deep danger but remain indifferent, should Mr. Lu count me ?"
Seeing that Chu Cheng had already earned the opportunity to go with him, Gu Zhong raised his eyebrows, looked directly at Senior Brother Lu, and looked at him with coercion.
"...Elder Gu, naturally we should go together."
Senior Brother Lu looked at the two of the Ling family, then replied with a chuckle.
In the setting sun, another carriage drove into the majestic palace. The eaves-shaped houses with carved beams and painted ridges became icy cold in the fading twilight, like a ferocious beast, waiting to devour the delicious meal.
