"With the help of the Grand Tutor, the Demonic Qi in Master's body has dissipated. However, his meridians and Divine Soul were deeply invaded by the Demonic Qi. He needs a long time to recuperate. I'm afraid his cultivation will be greatly damaged," Lu Huaming said in a low voice.
Shen Luo's heart sank. He didn't expect Cheng Yaojin's injuries to be so serious.
"The Tang Empire's government and Grand Tutor Yuan are very powerful. I don't need to embarrass myself in this matter. However, during the Battle of Huan Hill yesterday, I got these three treasures from several demons. They all have the effect of suppressing the Demonic Qi. Please send them to Cheng Yaojin to help him recover as soon as possible. Consider it my repayment for Cheng Yaojin's kindness." He pondered for a moment and then took out Ganjiang Moye, Wordless Scripture, and Demon Vanquishing Heavenly Book and placed them on the table.
Lu Huaming didn't recognize these three treasures, but Master Huang Mu knew that these three treasures were Yuan Tiangang's personal treasures. How could they be in Shen Luo's hands?
He wanted to ask, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Master Huang Mu pondered and finally accepted the three treasures. He planned to go to the palace immediately and ask Yuan Tiangang.
They talked for a while, then Lu Huaming and Master Huang Mu left.
"Brother Shen, are you going to the Country of Green Hill?" Hu Bugui asked after seeing the two off.
"The incident in Chang 'an City is very suspicious. The Green Hill Fox Clan may not be an accomplice. If I don't investigate this matter clearly, I will feel uneasy," Shen Luo said with a sigh.
"Brother Shen killed countless demons last night without blinking. It was like the God of Death descending to the world. It was daunting. I didn't expect you to have such a merciful heart," Hu Bugui said with a smile.
"It's urgent. I'll leave now. Brother Fox, what's your plan?" Shen Luo rolled his eyes at Hu Bugui and asked in a bad mood.
"Brother Shen, as a human, is willing to work for the Fox Clan. I am also a member of the Fox Clan. Naturally, I will go with you," Hu Bugui said with a smile.
Shen Luo nodded slightly. He had never been to the Country of Green Hill. With Hu Bugui, who knew the place well, many things would be much easier.
The two didn't delay and left immediately.
…
At the border of Great Tang, about a hundred li away from Hongzhou City, there was a military town named Xiangyang Town.
The town was not big, but it was very lively on weekdays. It was because it was close to the Chaoyang Valley to the south. It was a neighbor of the Green Hills Kingdom in the valley, and they often did trade with each other.
The Country of Green Hill was a country of foxes. When the people cultivated to a certain level, they could transform. Their skin was of the highest quality in the world. Therefore, humans were fond of them and often attracted humans from all over to this place.
However, the situation in the military town had changed recently.
For some reason, the Great Tang government had suddenly issued an order to close down all trade activities in Xiangyang Town. Soon after, the army of Hong Province was mobilized and stationed in Xiangyang Town.
The defense of the military towns and cities, which were originally dispensable, were all replaced by the prefectural army. They began to become extremely strict, as if they were ready for war.
On this day, Shen Luo's group of three finally arrived.
They rested for a while in the military town. After Hu Bugui filled his cup with wine, they prepared to leave Xiangyang Town and enter Chaoyang Valley.
Just as the three of them were about to leave the town, they were stopped by the prefectural army.
The leading cultivator was only at the Early-stage of the Mahayana Realm. He could not see the depth of Shen Luo and Hu Bugui, but he could vaguely sense the aura of the Fox Clan on Mi Su. He immediately led his men to surround them.
"How dare the Fox Clan sneak into the military town. Are you a spy to collect information?" The cultivator shouted.
Mi Su heard this and was a little angry. Just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by Shen Luo.
"My friend, you have misunderstood. We just returned from Chang 'an. We are going to Green Hill to investigate the Fox Clan's chaos." Shen Luo said.
"Hmph, I think they just attacked Chang 'an City and want to take the opportunity to escape. Men, take them down. "The cultivator immediately shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of prefectural army with weapons in their hands pressed forward.
Seeing this, Shen Luo had no choice but to take out a token from his waist and show it to the cultivator.
When the cultivator saw Shen Luo take out the Tang Empire's official token and confirmed that there was no mistake, he knew that he had made a mistake. He immediately apologized, "I'm just following orders. Please forgive me."
"It's okay. You did the right thing." Shen Luo smiled and took back the token.
The cultivator secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he really did not intend to pursue the matter.
"But, what's going on now? Why is the atmosphere suddenly so tense? When we left Chang 'an a few days ago, I didn't hear that it was so tense. "Shen Luo asked.
"My lord, you don't know. Because the Fox Clan has caused too much of a commotion, all the clans have decided to ask for an explanation from the Green Hill Kingdom. The Tang Empire government ordered us to guard Xiangyang Army Town and pay close attention to the movements in the Valley of Chaoyang. "The cultivator quickly explained.
He paused and added worriedly, "I'm afraid that the flames of war will be reignited …"
Hearing this, Mi Su's expression suddenly became tense.
Seeing this, Shen Luo patted Mi Su's shoulder lightly, indicating that she did not need to worry too much.
After the few of them registered here according to the law, they left Xiangyang Army Town and headed toward the Valley of Chaoyang.
…
Outside the army town was a smooth road that ran all the way to the valley in the distance.
"I heard from Granny Qiu that this road was built by the Tang Empire government. Our Green Hill Kingdom and the Tang Empire have always had a good relationship … I really don't know how it became like this." Mi Su felt that she could not understand.
"Don't worry too much. Let's go back and investigate what's going on. Maybe we can resolve the conflict." Shen Luo said.
"There must be a misunderstanding. As long as the misunderstanding is resolved and the mastermind is found, the suspicion on our Green Hill Kingdom can be removed." Mi Su nodded, but her tightly knitted brows did not loosen.
Seeing this, Shen Luo did not say anything else. Beside him, Hu Bugui was also unusually quiet. He only raised his head and occasionally took a sip of wine, his gaze always falling on the distant mountains and rivers.
Putting aside the current state of mind of the three, the scenery in the Valley of Chaoyang was extremely beautiful. Although it was called a valley in name, the terrain was not narrow. It was just that the terrain on both sides was higher, making it look like a valley.
At the end of the valley, the towering mountain peak was Mount Qingqiu.
Low shrubs and tall trees were intertwined in the valley. Every once in a while, one could see a gurgling stream flowing by. Occasionally, it would converge into a clear spring at a rocky beach or a low-lying area, and then flow into the underground river.
Wherever the few of them passed, there were gradually no signs of human habitation. The sounds of birds chirping and beast hooves in the forest also increased.
The little fox, Mi Su, walked beside Shen Luo. She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. The corners of her mouth curled into a slight smile, and her expression was clearly much more relaxed.
Shen Luo sighed inwardly. It seemed that this little girl was still rather calm these days, but in fact, she was more or less on tenterhooks.
