Chapter 94 Kaifeng Weird Things

What did you eat?

That's a good question.

Zhan Zhao had returned from the palace, so naturally he ate the meals prepared by the palace. The emperor would not fail to prepare lunch for him and Bao Zheng. The emperor had always been sympathetic to his officials, so the banquet in the palace was naturally sumptuous.

There was a dish of steamed sea bass during the meal. It was very delicious and made my mouth water. There was no fishy smell at all.

Zhan Zhao took a sip and liked it very much.

The emperor and Mr. Bao had a hard time eating because of what happened in Jingzhou. Perhaps because he had received the promise from the immortal long ago, he was not so anxious or worried. He ate the fish with chopsticks one after another and finished the whole fish in a short while.

There was a plate of fish bones left that could not be eaten, neatly arranged.

Bao Zheng took a look and felt quite helpless.

Seeing how happily he ate, the emperor and Bao Zheng also felt a little hungry. They put their conversation aside for the moment and focused on eating.

Later, the eunuch who was sent to ask the immortal to move away returned in vain and reported to the emperor in panic that the immortal had no interest in coming to the palace for a banquet, and only asked Zhan Zhao, who remained in the palace, to go back quickly.

This time it was Zhan Zhao who was surprised.

The immortal did not come to the palace, but only told him to go back quickly. Does this... have any deeper meaning?

The official looked at him for a long while, sighed, and said, "In this case, Guard Zhan should go back early."

Zhan Zhao agreed, bowed to the emperor and Mr. Bao, then turned and walked out of the palace.

When he was leaving the palace, he met Grand Tutor Pang who was rushing into the palace.

If it were in the past, Grand Tutor Pang would have certainly said something to embarrass him, but this time he was so anxious that he ran away as soon as he got off the carriage, without even noticing that he was standing beside him. He ran so fast that his official hat was tilted.

Zhan Zhao looked at him suspiciously, shook his head, jumped on his horse, and went back home.

Unexpectedly, just as he stepped halfway into the mansion, the immortal who puzzled him so much rushed towards him, grabbed his shoulders, and asked him in a stern and cold voice what he had eaten.

Zhan Zhao was shocked and suspicious, so he had to tell the truth.

He ate all the food in front of him. Although he didn't like the steamed sea bass as much as he did, he still ate every dish very cleanly in order not to waste food.

"What's wrong with me?"

Ms. Jia is so anxious, is there something wrong with the food he eats?

Zhan Zhao felt it carefully and felt very good, nothing was wrong.

Furthermore, the food at the palace banquet had to be tested for poison in advance, and he was sitting at the same table with the emperor... Although this idea was a bit outrageous, if someone could really poison the food, why would they poison a small guard like him?

Zhan Zhao was still in this room, and the two monks were confused. In the other room, holding his shoulders, Lady Jia, whose eyes were faintly shining, looked even colder: "Let's go in first."

People were coming and going outside Kaifeng Prefecture, and they were staring at them. The guards on both sides of the gate were also startled.

If you have anything to say, let’s talk about it when we get back.

Zhan Zhao couldn't say a word as he was grabbed by the wrist and led inside.

Ms. Jia's hands were very hot, which was the limit of what a human could endure. If it was any hotter, it would leave burns on the surface of the human body.

Bai Yuting was also frightened. He was just watching Mr. Gongsun and Ms. Jia playing chess. It was so exciting that even he, a bystander, was fascinated by it.

Just when Lady Jia made her last move, she suddenly stood up, her face looking colder than ever before.

Both of them were startled, and before they could open their mouths to ask, the immortal in front of them had already turned into a gust of wind and rushed out.

Not long after, the immortal came back with Zhan Zhao, who was covered in mist.

Zhan Zhao was pressed on a stone bench, with the curious Gongsun Ce and Bai Yuting on his left and right, and Lady Jia looking at him coldly opposite him.

Zhan Nanxia was so shocked by this scrutinizing look that he broke out in a cold sweat. He felt that Lady Jia was not looking at him, but was using her eyes to tear him apart, carefully separating his skin, flesh, and bones, and detecting from the smallest details those abnormalities that he himself could not feel at all.

Zhan Zhao belatedly realized the seriousness of the situation.

He was definitely not poisoned, but what else could it be? What could make Lady Jia look so serious?

…He thought of the unknown fragments offered by the wronged souls.

If it really is...

Zhan Zhao was dazed for a moment, his mind went blank for a moment, his Adam's apple rolled twice quickly, his throat was extremely dry, as if no amount of water he drank could quench his thirst, and the hot blood in his body completely cooled down at that moment.

Yes, his guess was correct.

He swallowed a piece of it.

It cannot be called a piece. Considering the size of this fragment, it can only be described as particles.

It is as small as a speck of dust, so small that it is invisible to the naked eye.

Therefore, the range of its energy dissipation was extremely small, so small that even Tarona could not detect it.

If he had just eaten it, Tarona would have been able to take it out for him directly, but that was no longer possible now.

The luck and virtue that Zhan Zhao possessed protected him all the time. The moment he swallowed the alien object, it suffered a double attack from both luck and virtue.

Because the fragments were so small, it had no ability to fight back and could only defend itself instinctively.

Although the [Key of the Morning Star] has no self-awareness, it is not a dead object. This fragment has adopted the most effective defense method -

It shattered.

From a particle, it broke into smaller particles, and quickly merged into Zhan Zhao's flesh and blood in the form of atomic particles, becoming one with this body in a very short time.

In this way, luck and merit will no longer be able to attack it and expel it from this body.

Because they can't find anyone to attack or drive away!

Damn!

I haven't seen you for just half a day, and you've already made a big change!

Tarona was going crazy in his heart. It would be terrible if he swallowed the abnormality. No matter whether he was the son of luck or not, he would be mutated. It was just a matter of time.

What's more serious is that Zhan Zhao's current condition is exactly the same as the absorber she temporarily modified, no... it's even stronger than the absorber she modified.

Zhan Zhao is the son of destiny, and Yichang originally wanted to kill him. Now that he has swallowed a piece of the fragment, it will be easier for Yichang to break through from the inside.

Not only that, Tarona also discovered that the energy emitted by this fragment had changed. The catalytic effect still existed, but it was weakened a lot and turned into an extremely intense disruptive energy.

If catalysis is a group attack, then this new disruptiveness is an individual attack.

The target of his harassment and attack was Zhan Zhao himself.

Since he cannot kill the Son of Destiny with his own strength, he should change his strategy, disrupt and distort the Son of Destiny's cognition and ethics, push him from the camp of good to the camp of evil, and turn the Son of Destiny, who is favored by Heaven, into the sharpest knife to invade this world!

With the protection of the Son of Fortune, its abnormal growth rate will be greatly accelerated, and the luck and merits that attack it can also be transformed into absorbable energy after it and the Son of Fortune become inseparable.

This piece of debris, which is so small that it is invisible to the naked eye, can also be transformed into the piece with the strongest energy. At that time, the fragments scattered in all directions will be attracted and return in various forms.

Once the [Key of Morning Star] is complete, the Son of Destiny will personally open the gates of Hell. By then, even if the devil has already wreaked havoc on the world, the sleeping Heaven will not be able to detect it in the first place.

By the time Heaven finally awakened from its slumber, the human world had already been largely devoured by demons, and the fully grown anomalies had the power to compete with Heaven.

And that was the day of Zhan Zhao's death.

Tiandao must kill his son of destiny before he can launch an effective attack on the anomaly, otherwise his son of destiny will always become a shield for the anomaly.

How cruel this was to Zhan Zhao, who had made it his life's mission to help the world and was a thorough good man. Up to this day, he had never done a single evil thing, not even the slightest evil thought.

Tarona closed her eyes and forced herself to suppress the hellfire that was surging to burn Zhan Zhao. She patted Zhan Zhao on the shoulder and comforted this smart cat who had obviously guessed what she had eaten: "Don't worry, little kitty, it's not a big deal."

The above is the worst possible outcome, a future that will only occur if no one can prevent it.

"I'm here, you'll be fine."

The Lord of Hell gently comforted the pale-faced human. She took out the Holy Lamp that purifies evil spirits, shrunk it to the size of a pigeon egg, broke her own hair to fix the Holy Lamp, and put this special necklace that combined purification, exorcism and suppression into one on Zhan Zhao.

The extremely high intensity disruptive energy suddenly stopped, and was almost unable to breathe due to the pressure from this sudden mountain of pressure.

Very good and useful.

Tarona's uncertain heart finally settled down.

But this is only a temporary measure. We must find the remaining fragments as soon as possible and piece together the complete [Key of the Morning Star] so that we can use most of the main body's gravity to attract all the fragments that have been integrated into Zhan Zhao's flesh and blood.

What she had in her hands was not enough, there was still one-fifth that she had not found.

"Xiaoyutang."

The beauty with clear sky-like long hair put one hand on the red cat's shoulder, turned her head and looked at the golden-haired mouse who guessed the correct answer after just a second's thought. She raised her red lips and smiled coldly: "You accompany me to the palace, I suddenly feel interested."

In this world, she only has two air fresheners. One of them ate dirty things after being away for only half a day, and the other one she had to carry with her to watch with her own eyes.

If this happened again, she would have to sterilize the city with fire.

She wanted to go and see how much dirt was hidden in the palace. How come the little kitty got into trouble after only being there for half a day? !

…

The god who could not be invited no matter how respectful he was came here in a rage.

When Zhao Zhen learned the news, Grand Tutor Pang was crying loudly in the palace. On the one hand, he denounced Bai Yuting for condoning his friends and harming his son and the sons of many high-ranking officials, and on the other hand, he begged the emperor to take charge of the matter. He cried so sincerely that the two young eunuchs could hardly hold him back.

This shows how badly his son and his group of bad friends were hurt.

Bai Shaoxia’s friend?

Bao Zheng's eyes turned gradually subtle as he looked at Pang Ji, and Zhao Zhen at the top of the group felt something was not right the more he listened.

Bai Yutang only brought one "friend" to Kaifeng recently.

Blue hair, black clothes...

Zhao Zhen looked at Bao Zheng, and Bao Zheng nodded heavily.

Yes, the friend of Bai Shaoxia mentioned by Master Pang is none other than the incarnation of Emperor Fengdu, Lady Jia.

Zhao Zhen's face immediately darkened: "Shut up!"

That is the incarnation of the Emperor of Fengdu. Since he took action, it must be that Pang Yu and others have angered him!

Guard Zhan had said several times that this immortal was broad-minded and would not bother with mortals. He was even very forgiving. So it was conceivable how disrespectful Pang Yu and others must have been to arouse the immortal's wrath!

Pangji's crying was abruptly stopped by the shout of "shut up". He knelt down in doubt and said, "Sir, everything I said is true. We have witnesses and evidence. Please..."

He glanced at Bao Zheng, who was standing aside and looked quite calm. Thinking of his son's plight, hatred suddenly filled his eyes. "You must not believe one-sided words! My son Mu has received the emperor's grace. He has corrected his behavior this time and has not caused any more trouble. It was all because of that woman's self-reliance..."

Before he could finish his words of distortion of right and wrong, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard from outside. It turned out to be the chief eunuch who had been relieved of his duties for the day by Zhao Zhen and sent back to rest.

He seemed to have seen something extremely unbelievable and huge. Not only did he run all the way here, but he also tripped when he entered the door.

"Official! Official... Ouch!"

The eunuch fell heavily, and the young eunuch who was closest to him hurried to help him up. He brushed away the young eunuch's hand and shouted: "Your Majesty, the immortal is here! He has already entered the palace!"

As for where in the palace he entered, he didn't know, because the immortal flew in.

Zhao Zhen stood up suddenly, his voice trembling with shock: "What?"

How come the immortal suddenly came to the palace?

He no longer cared about Master Pang who was still kneeling in the hall and confusing right and wrong, and hurried out of the hall. The chief eunuch pointed in a direction, and he walked away quickly, holding up his coat, not forgetting to take Bao Zheng with him.

After all, when the immortal went to Kaifeng, the first person he met was him.

Suddenly, everyone left, leaving only Pangji and the eunuch who had fallen badly.

Seeing the eunuch rubbing his legs twice and about to run away in a hurry, Pang Ji quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, sir. What happened?"

The chief eunuch didn't know what Pang Yu had done yet, so he said politely: "Master, the immortal is here!"

Immortal? What immortal?

Pangji was thinking about killing the woman who hurt his son with a thousand pieces of blood. Even if she was a real immortal, he couldn't care less at the moment.

Thinking about the official's sudden change of attitude, he still felt that Bao Zheng was interfering. Otherwise, why would he be here? It must be for the murderer!

No, we can’t let Bao Zheng give advice to the government again!

With a grit of teeth, Pangji followed.
