This Taoist canon involves the "Heaven and Death" of the Heavenly Rule, competing with the Netherworld, and cultivating to the extreme, it is another Netherworld!

Song Zheng only watched it once, and he was worried in his heart: This is a competition with Yan Jun and Yan Luo, if it is really cultivated, I am afraid that I will be the first to hook Yan Luo and finish with him.

There is a great fear between life and death, but for monks, there is also a great opportunity between life and death.

Song Zheng thought about the appearance of hooking Yan Luo like thunder, and smiled slightly, but he did not hesitate to start his enlightenment. According to his plan, Sister Zhao and Zhou Kou's souls will eventually be taken away by Hook Yama.

He used the means of monks in the Yang World to preserve their bodies, and when he solved the Heavenly Fire, he returned them to the Yang.

But the key to this is to hook Yama, although according to his position in the Heavenly Rules, it is unlikely that he will break his promises, but if he really has the intention to blackmail, I am afraid that he will also find a way to bypass the constraints of the Heavenly Rules.

Song Zheng needs to make comprehensive preparations, minoring in "White Bone Heavenly Book", and when the time comes, he will enter the netherworld and snatch Sister Zhao and them back.

He had already been exposed to the exercises of the Silent Annihilation Hall and the Demon God Blood Clothes before, which were more or less related to the way of life and death, and it was not difficult to get the "White Bone Heavenly Book".

It's just that you really have to minor, but you can't simply take it lightly. After thinking about it carefully, he sacrificed the sapphire blue distraction that he had separated from the first group, and used it as a distraction to cultivate the White Bone Heavenly Book.

On weekdays, he received this royal blue distraction, and no one could tell that he had cultivated such a secret method.

At the entrance, the royal blue distraction is dyed in black and white, representing "life" and "death", intertwined and rotated with each other, like a Tai Chi bead.

Song Zheng nodded secretly, continued to cultivate, and at the same time named this distraction "Life and Death Distraction".

In his cultivation, he didn't know the years, and in a trance, he had already cultivated the "Book of White Bones", which was divided between life and death, to the level of the sixteen realms of the vein, with the accumulation of the past.

He woke up in his stupor, and when he opened his eyes, a black and white color swirled and disappeared, and his eyes returned to clarity. Then he took away the distraction of life and death and returned to his normal state.

In this retreat, the Four Kings gained greatly.

The realm cannot be improved in the short term, but because of the "Torch Code", his perception of the Heavenly Strip is one step ahead of the realm again, and when his strength is accumulated enough, he can impact the late stage of the Xuantong Realm.

He shook his body and stood up, his clothes crackling like firecrackers. He smiled slightly, waved his hand to raise the light of the spirit array, and walked out of the quiet room.

Shi Zhonghe was dozing off on the table in the hall, with a large plate of eaten snacks in front of him, Song Zheng smiled secretly, this is sleepy after dinner.

He walked over and knocked on the table, and Shi Zhonghe woke up violently and said excitedly: "My lord, you are out of the customs." ”

Song Zheng nodded and ordered: "Go and call Liu Chengfei over, the official wants to drink tea." In addition, let Li Sanyan bring all the recent documents, and the official should take a look.

How long has I been in retreat, and has anything happened during this time?"

Song Zheng said this very smoothly, and suddenly realized that it was difficult to go from luxury to frugality, and now he dislikes Shi Zhonghe's craftsmanship when drinking tea, and Liu Chengfei must come to serve.

Shi Zhonghe didn't think there was any problem, Song Zheng was already very frugal in horizontal comparison, if other officials reached the level of Song Zheng, I am afraid that they would have already gone in and out of the entourage, calling and hugging each other, and there were no less than 300 people in various honor guards.

"Okay, I'll let them call Miss Liu. "Shi Zhonghe is busy, like a ...... Chubby round-faced little bees.

"Your Excellency, you've been in retreat for seven months......

Song Zheng was stunned: "It's been so long?"

"Yes, there is no major incident in our six states in the south of the Yangtze River, Du Qianhu and Zeng Qianhu have all dealt with it. In addition, Uncle Yanling has come to you several times, and the old man doesn't know why he is in such a hurry, almost once every three days......"

Song Zheng calculated that Uncle Yanling should have finished refining the remaining second-order spirit treasures, and the deal with the Lie family was completely reached. He came to ask for a "reward", Lord Song smiled secretly in his heart.

"But there is a big event in the north, I heard that our peace talks with Hua Xu are about to collapse, and the imperial court has issued an official document asking us to find a way to raise military expenses in Jiangnan. ”

Shi Zhonghe said quickly, and Song Zheng gradually knew in his heart.

He was worried that those traitors in the court would betray Hongwu's interests for peace, and he only wanted to reach an agreement. So he ordered someone to find a way to contact the powerful ministers of the ancient kingdom of Huaxu.

This matter was secretly promoted, and before Song Zheng retreated, he had already contacted Yao Chenfang, the favorite minister of the emperor of Huaxu Ancient Kingdom, but the money was not enough, and the other party did not see his envoy, Song Zheng allocated another 90 million yuan of jade to the past, and he had not received follow-up news before the retreat.

But now it seems that the courtiers have not become mad enough to betray the country, and the peace talks are not going well.

Song Zheng muttered secretly: "Could it be that the ancient kingdom of Huaxu took the opportunity to delay and secretly accumulate strength?"

After thinking about it again, this is unlikely.

Li Sanyan came quickly, with a handful of official documents, all of which were placed in front of Song Zheng: "My lord, please take a look." ”

When Song Zheng looked at the official document, Liu Chengfei also came, she has been in Huzhou City for the past few months, and her name is not right, so she is very low-key, and she is trying to be quiet and not daring to disturb Song Zheng when she comes in at this time, she sits on the side and prepares the utensils and begins to boil water to make tea.

Song Zheng was surrounded by hundreds of documents in front of him, and he could see them at a glance with a powerful Yin God, and then dropped these official documents, and raised hundreds of others to look at them again.

Mainly because the house is only so big, no matter how much it is, it can't fit around.

Seven months of official documents, Song Zheng read them one by one, and finished reading them in about one meal. Then he closed his eyes, and the various events in the official document flowed through his mind, contacting, contrasting, and evaluating each other, and he picked up the tribute tea sent by Liu Chengfei and took a sip.

Soon he had finished his official duties, and he had a general idea of how his men had behaved in the past seven months.

He drank tea, took out a jade slip and pinched it in his hand, engraved it with divine thoughts, and handed it to Shi Zhonghe after finishing: "You let the black bean run away, give this to Uncle Yanling, and tell him that this is what the official promised." ”

Shi Zhonghe took it, Du Qianhu, Zeng Qianhu, Hong Tiancheng, Xiu Zicheng and other subordinates were all waiting in the courtyard, and Heidou stood in the last row of these people.

Shi Zhonghe went to speak, and the black bean nodded, took the jade slip and went to Fuzhou.

Then, Song Zheng instructed: "Let Zeng Qianhu come in." ”

Zeng Qianhu followed Shi Zhonghe in, and Song Zheng asked, "Hua Xu's side, how is the contact with Yao Chenfang?"

"Our people exchanged 60 million yuan of jade for a chance to meet Yao Chenfang, but Yao Chenfang is not interested in joining forces with us. Our people sent the remaining 30 million yuan of jade in batches during the months of your retreat, and although Yao Chenfang accepted them all, he did not see our people again. ”

Song Zheng pondered, it is indeed not easy to buy the important ministers of the imperial court of the enemy country, and the other party is not stupid, treason is a big crime of stealing the family and exterminating the family, Yao Chenfang loves money, but he doesn't want to lose his head because of this.

Song Zheng said: "You let our people ask again, as long as we know Hua Xu's real bottom line in the peace talks, the official will give him 100 million!"

"Yes. ”

Zeng Qianhu was ordered to do something, and Song Zheng said to the people outside: "Han Jiujiang stays, and the rest of the people disperse." ”

"The subordinates obeyed. Everyone outside bowed back, Han Jiujiang stood in the courtyard, and when everyone left, he entered the house. Song Zheng finally drank a cup of tea, got up and said, "Take the cold roar and take a trip to the root official." ”

......

Song Zheng walked in civilian clothes without a lieutenant. Qi Bingchen and Lu Wanmin, the two peak ancestors, were closely protected.

"Let's go to Mianxian County, Yanzhou first. As soon as he spoke, the two ancestors took everyone to rise in the air, and they rushed to Mianxian County, Yanzhou, which is located in a remote area, in half an hour.

Song Zheng did not notify local officials, but found a dilapidated courtyard in the southwest corner of the county from memory. There was a seal on the door of the courtyard, and the neighbors who passed by the door showed a look of fear and avoided a distance.

"My lord?" Han Jiujiang was puzzled, Song Zheng didn't speak, stepped forward and suppressed the seal of the county government with his official seal, and everyone crossed the wall and entered the courtyard together.

"There was a murder here four days ago. As he spoke, he walked through the main house and into the courtyard at the back. Everyone was taken aback, the backyard was very dilapidated, but in the center of it was a rough stone piled up like an altar.

Scattered around the altar were a circle of animal heads that had emitted a rancid smell.

Most of them recognized the heads of wild dogs, but also the heads of wild cats, domestic pigs and even mice. Most of them were around the altar, but some were kicked far away by the officials who had handled the case before.

Under Song Zheng's signal, Han Jiujiang retrieved all these beast heads, a total of thirteen.

Song Zheng counted them, and three of them were black dog heads.

After seven months of retreat, autumn and winter had passed in the north, and it was early spring. And Jiangnan was already very hot at this time, and these beast heads that had been cut off alive had rotted and the stench was incomparable. But Song Zheng didn't feel dirty, squatted down and opened the eyelids of the three black dog heads to look.

The eyes of the three black dogheads were all blood-red.

He stood up and came from the void to bring clean water to wash his hands, his mood was a little solemn, there has always been a legend on the east bank of the Spirit River, only the black wild dog that eats the flesh of a dead man will have red eyes.

And the more you eat, the redder your eyes become!

Of the three dog heads, two of the eyes were only pale pink, but one was red as if it could drip blood.

He asked Han Jiujiang: "Do you have any impression of this case?"

Before Song Zheng retreated, he deliberately inspected several subordinates and asked them to take charge of one side each.

Although Song Zheng didn't like Han Jiujiang very much, he looked at Shi Zhonghe's small round face and asked Han Jiujiang to be in charge of Yanzhou. Hearing Song Zheng's question, Han Jiujiang was secretly a little nervous, and he hurriedly clenched his fists and replied: "Subordinates remember." ”

He also understood that his performance during Song Zheng's retreat would determine whether he could become the future Yanzhou Dragon Yiwei Qianhu.
