Chapter 223: The horse leaps and moves strangely, is the relic real or fake?
Streets and alleys.

In the market place, you can observe all kinds of human life.

These places where ordinary people gather and come and go may not have so many grand events.

But often the conditions of these places can only reflect the situation in one place or one country.

If there is chaos at the bottom and the people are displaced, then there is no need to say more about the situation of the entire country.

Of course, the current Sui Dynasty has not reached that point yet.

Although there were many inexplicable atmospheres in Daxing City, it was generally stable.

After all, this is the capital built by two generations of emperors.

It was the core area of ​​the Sui Dynasty, where troops were stationed all year round.

More importantly, the King of War, who guards the country, is now in the city with his victorious army.

So even though, because of the sudden vision, countless people were eager to try, in the end no one dared to be the first to step forward.

Of course, for ordinary people, life is still life and there is no difference.

Perhaps at the beginning, this strange celestial phenomenon caused countless people to feel uneasy, and many people even set up statues of gods at home and prayed that day.

But as time went on, the disaster that was imagined did not happen.

Except for not being able to see the night, everything seemed no different from usual.

Even the temperature didn't change much.

This undoubtedly soothed the emotions of many people.

After all, ordinary people are always most concerned about food and clothing and survival.

As long as it does not affect life and the harvest from the land.

Not to mention that it was just the sun and the moon appearing at the same time, even if there were ten or eight more, they would not take it to heart.

Of course, during this period of time, this matter has quickly become a hot topic everywhere.

The sun and the moon are high in the sky, and there is no night.

This is a huge new thing. Not to mention them, even if you go back further, their ancestors have never seen it before.

"What do you think is going on? It's been seven or eight days and the sun hasn't set yet. Did something big happen in the sky?" A skinny old man holding a hoe stared blankly at the sky.

"Don't talk nonsense, there are gods in heaven, how big a thing can happen?" An old woman nearby scolded immediately.

“Yes, yes, yes, please forgive me, Lord Sun. I didn’t mean it.” The old man bowed quickly.

For ordinary people, the gods and immortals who are high above them are undoubtedly people they dare not offend.

"Hehehe, do you know why the sun doesn't set?" At this time, a man with a mustache not far from the two of them suddenly laughed.

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the attention of a large group of people around.

Even in the restaurant on the corner, all the gangsters turned their eyes away.

"Do you know the great god Houyi?" the man with a moustache asked with a smile.

"Of course, who hasn't heard of the story of the great god Hou Yi shooting down the sun?"

"It was him. It was because the great god Houyi reappeared that the sun was frightened and dared not move."

The people around were stunned at the same time.

"I seem to have heard that Lord Houyi is dead?" someone retorted unconsciously.

"That's a god, how could he be dead? Even if he was dead, haven't you heard of the reincarnation of gods?"

"This time, it is the reincarnation of the great god Houyi."

The common people were obviously stunned by what was said.

"But there is another moon in the sky. Hou Yi shot the sun, so why did the moon do the same?"

"Hey, what's so strange about this? The moon and the sun are husband and wife, the husband sings and the wife follows. If the husband doesn't move, how can the wife dare to move?"

"So that's it."

…………

On the other side of the street, a man in a black gown quietly looked at the people who were talking loudly.

As the conversation grew louder, it attracted more and more people.

Even many warriors passing by couldn't help but join in.

But what was strange was that the people coming and going seemed to be completely unaware of the man in black.

Many people who were approaching him were about to bump into him, but they were unknowingly affected by an invisible force and quickly drifted in different directions without even knowing it.

“Buzz~~~”

Just at this moment, a vibrating sound suddenly rang out.

Everyone in Daxing felt a tremor under their feet.

Everyone stopped talking and looked up at the first moment.

But the scene in the sky remained the same as before, nothing had changed.

The people shook their heads in confusion, then lowered their heads again.

For these ordinary people, of course, this is all they can feel.

But it’s different for those people in the martial arts world, especially those powerful warriors.

On the street corner.

The man in black, who was like a ghost, detached from the world and out of everyone's sight, also moved in an instant.

The next second, his figure appeared on the eaves on one side of the street.

The deep eyes pierced through the sky and pierced somewhere in Daxing City.

Located in the north of Daxing City, close to the Wei River.

South of the Wei River is a slightly smaller artificial canal that leads directly to Daxing City.

Above the ditch, a majestic and ancient bridge spans the two banks.

At this time, the water in the river seemed to be boiling, roaring and surging continuously.

A huge whirlpool appeared in the middle of the river.

In the center of the vortex is a space as dark as ink, like a bottomless pit.

In the center of the black hole, thick purple aura surged outwards and rushed towards the sky.

"Evil Emperor Sheli"

The black-clothed man's eyes moved, as if they had penetrated the void and landed directly on the deep black hole. At the same time, he uttered four words one by one.

At the same time, in a temple in Daxing City, a monk with a compassionate face suddenly raised his head.

"The evil emperor's relics! Yang Gong's treasure house."

"Is that the Yuema Bridge? Is Yang Gong's treasure house really under the Yuema Bridge?"

The monk exclaimed.

This person was a famous monk in Daxing City, and was even given the title of holy monk by the surrounding people.

But in fact, this person was no one else but one of the incarnations of Shi Zhixuan, the famous evil king in the Demon Sect.

There is no need to say much about Shi Zhixuan's reputation in the martial arts world, especially after the battle of Daxing that day, his real body's movements became increasingly inconvenient.

And his apparent identity, Pei Ju, is even less suitable for traveling the world.

So during this period of time, Shi Zhixuan resumed his Buddhist identity which he had not used for a long time.

When the strange phenomenon appeared near Yuema Bridge, Shi Zhixuan was of course the first to discover it.

The evil emperor's relics were what he had been searching for for most of his life, and he even dreamed of digging up Yang Gong's treasure house.

And now, the thing I had always dreamed of suddenly appeared.

But looking at Shi Zhixuan's expression, he didn't seem as excited as imagined, but instead a little hesitant.

If Shi Zhixuan had sensed the aura of Yang Gong's treasure house and the evil emperor's relics in the past, he would have definitely set off there without any hesitation.

After all, the news of Yang Gong's treasure house had long spread throughout the Sui Dynasty, and the evil emperor's relics were an inestimable treasure.

Now that his aura was exposed, people in the martial arts world would definitely flock to him. If they were not careful, the treasure of this demon sect might fall into the hands of others.

This was obviously something Shi Zhixuan could not accept.

This is the key to his solution to his own problems.

Being stuck in the Grandmaster realm for so many years and unable to make any progress was undoubtedly a huge torture for Shi Zhixuan.

Even though he practiced Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism and his fighting ability continued to improve, no one in the world treated him as a master.

Even in the eyes of most people, Shi Zhixuan's threat is comparable to that of a grand master.

But if there is no breakthrough, there is no breakthrough. A master is a master, and you can never truly be compared with a grand master.

If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have been satisfied with such strength a long time ago.

But who is Shi Zhixuan? With his arrogant personality, how could he be willing to accept this?

He is one of the two heroes of the Demon Sect of this generation, a rare genius of the Demon Sect, and is even hailed as the one with the greatest hope of unifying the Demon Sect and becoming the new Evil Emperor.

But now, the other Pang Ban has already left everyone behind and established the Magician Palace, and his magic power has already overshadowed the two sects and six paths.

Figures of the previous generation like Meng Chixing and Li Gong had long been surpassed by Pang Ban.

The most important thing is that the martial arts that Pang Ban practices is "Creating Demons in the Heart of Tao", which represents the supreme power of the Demon Sect and is also the inheritance of the evil emperors of all generations, "Creating Demons in the Heart of Tao".

If it weren't for the branch of the Demonic Sect to which Meng Chixing belonged, and the force to which Pang Ban belonged, they had always been rooted in the Mongols and were incompatible with the orthodox Demonic Sect in the Central Plains of the Sui Dynasty.

The battle for the Evil Emperor must have already had its outcome.

The fact that Pang Ban founded the Magician Palace undoubtedly showed that he did not seem to be planning to succeed the Evil Emperor.

In other words, in Pang Ban's eyes, he was just the first magician, not the evil emperor who had been around for many generations after Xie Tiao.

Therefore, for the two sects and the Six Paths, the position of the Supreme Evil Emperor is still vacant.

But another thing is, as to who is stronger and who is weaker between Shi Zhixuan and Pang Ban, the two former heroes, it has already been determined.

One was stuck at the Grandmaster level for nearly twenty years, while the other broke through to the Grandmaster level and established himself in another realm.

In the eyes of many people, these two people can no longer be considered to be from the same world.

Shi Zhixuan was obviously unwilling to accept all this.

To solve all this, the evil emperor's relics in the treasure house are necessary.

In fact, Shi Zhixuan has been secretly investigating Yang Gong's treasure house and the evil emperor's relics for more than ten years.

The approximate range had been determined long ago, even accurate to the vicinity of Yuema Bridge.

And now this sudden movement is obviously consistent with the information he found.

However, before the war with Goguryeo, he had met Gao Changsheng and Yang Xuangan in his true identity, that is, Pei Ju.

At that time, the two were just beginners.

During the communication, he learned from Yang Xuangan that Yang Gong's treasure house was in Jiangdu.

This conclusion was completely contrary to his investigation.

But it came from the mouth of Yang Xuangan.

Afterwards, he also secretly went to Jiangdu to check, but all the things he saw showed that Yang Gong's treasure house had nothing to do with Jiangdu.

And now, there have been unusual movements at Yuema Bridge.

There was no way Shi Zhixuan could mistake the aura that was gushing out.

All of this undoubtedly shows that Yang Xuangan's information was wrong. After all, he did not learn it from Yang Su, but only inferred it based on Yang Su's whereabouts.

But the current situation really doesn't allow Shi Zhixuan to not think too much.

The sun and the moon hung in the sky, and the Sui Dynasty fell into eternal day.

Even a fool knows that something big is likely to happen in the Sui Dynasty.

What's more, Shi Zhixuan himself is a member of the Sui Dynasty court.

He had personally seen Gao Jiong and Yang Su back then. He understood better than anyone how terrifying these two people were and their ability to control and manipulate the situation.

Although Shi Zhixuan didn't know all the inside stories, he had discovered some clues after years in the court.

Now the sun and the moon are in the same sky, the Sui Dynasty has undergone a shocking change, and then the treasure house has appeared.

The first thing that came to Shi Zhixuan's mind was not the evil emperor's relic that he had dreamed of, but the two names Gao Jiong and Yang Su.

Are the two dead? Are the current changes related to them? Is the Yanggong treasure house that suddenly appeared real or fake?

A series of question marks popped up in Shi Zhixuan's mind.

Shi Zhixuan gritted his teeth in hatred. At this moment, he really wanted to catch that old man Lu Miaozi and interrogate him.

After all, it is rumored that Lu Miaozi participated in the construction of Yang Gong's treasure house.

Moreover, during this period of time, Lu Miaozi happened to be in Daxing City.

But damn it, after this old guy entered the city, he went straight into Gao’s mansion and hid.

At certain times every day, you can even see Lu Miaozi admiring the moon and drinking behind the gate of Gao Mansion.

If it were any other place, even if it was a dangerous place, Shi Zhixuan would go there to give it a try, after all, this matter was closely related to his path.

But he really didn't dare to go to Gao Mansion, especially since Gao Changsheng was in the mansion.

“Buzz~~~”

Just when Shi Zhixuan was thinking.

The vibrations near Yuema Bridge became more intense.

In the river, all the water was squeezed to both sides, leaving only the huge black hole.

And the purple aura became more obvious.

If we talk about what happened just now, only someone like Shi Zhixuan who has close ties with the Demon Sect could notice the changes.

At this moment, everyone had already felt that unique fluctuation.

"This...what a unique smell, what is this?"

"My heart was in a trance, my blood was boiling, but I felt inexplicably comfortable."

"What on earth is this? Is there some rare treasure hidden under the Leaping Horse Bridge?"

someone exclaimed.

"This, this thing, I seem to have an impression of it, where have I seen it before?" Someone seemed to have thought of something and was muttering to himself.

"Yes, it's the holy relic, oh my god, it's the holy relic!" Suddenly, a shocking roar sounded in the field.

"Holy relics? What is that?" The people next to him didn't react for a moment.

But more people's pupils contracted.

"The evil emperor's relic, this is the evil emperor's relic that preserves the essence of the evil emperors of all generations, so, this is..."

“Yang Gong’s Treasure House.” Roars cut through the sky.

"What? Yang Gong's treasure house has appeared? It's actually in Daxing City."

"What a good Yang Su! Is he playing tricks on others? The treasure house is right under everyone's noses."

The entire Daxing City was boiling almost instantly.

Those excited roars all fell into Shi Zhixuan's ears without missing a word.

"We can't wait any longer. No matter whether it's true or false, we can't let it go." Shi Zhixuan snorted.

But just as he was about to fly out of the temple.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"It's you……"

A cry of surprise came from Shi Zhixuan's mouth.

And another place.

Behind the gate of Gao's mansion, on a rockery, Lu Miaozi, holding a wine jug, was also looking in that direction.

And deep in his pupils, there seemed to be a hint of difficult-to-discern emotions.
