Xu Guan's steps were a little heavy, he passed through the coal mountain, came to a bustling street straight to the north, there were many small shops, shops, restaurants, jewelry shops, etc., Xu Guan walked while strolling with interest, and the tourists who were also playing on this street staggered by.

Xu Guan walked north from the sidewalk on the right side of the road, not noticing the two old friends who were coming across on the sidewalk on the left side of the road.

Li Qianshan's master and apprentice were mixed in the boiling crowd on this small street, and they were walking from north to south. The two of them were instructed by Wu Yan not long ago to enter the imperial capital to inquire about the situation.

Because the lichs also found that there were people guarding the south, east, and west sides of the imperial capital, but the north side was vacant, so for the sake of safety, they arranged for the pair of masters and apprentices to make a long detour, enter the city from the north, and turn back to the south.

Let's say that as soon as these two people were separated from the escorted Lich Clan, their courage instantly weakened by three points, and after entering the city, they saw that everyone looked like the guards and spies arranged by the inn in the imperial capital. Qiao Song is okay, at least he is calm on his face, Li Qianshan is too cowardly, if others on this street look at him twice, or their eyes stay on him for a short while, he will be like a thief being caught on the spot, and his scalp will explode in fright.

Li Qianshan didn't even dare to stand up straight all the way, for fear that he was too tall to attract attention, Li held the corner of his master's clothes and was bold, his eyes flashed non-stop, sneaky, he was more thief than a thief.

"As for being afraid of this?" Qiao Song shouted in a low voice.

"Master, what if, what if we are discovered by the people at the inn?" Li Qianshan's voice trembled, clinging to his master, not daring to leave half a step.

"How do I know what to do? Stand up straight, don't look like a thief!" Qiao Song shouted in a low voice, coldly glancing at Li Qianshan, who was originally half a head taller than himself, but now he was half a head shorter. "In the past, when you relied on the two Dao techniques I taught you, why didn't you see you afraid when you went around bullying those alien cultivators?

"You don't know. I only dared to do it when I knew they couldn't beat me, and when I couldn't beat them, I just admitted and slipped away. Li Qianshan didn't blush when he said this.

"Bully the soft and be afraid of the hard!" Qiao Song looked down on this apprentice in his heart, and said in his heart why he was blind to accept him in the first place. Thinking about it, although he can't be called righteous and awe-inspiring, even if he is bad, he is still bad, and he dares to act. On the other hand, this apprentice is insidious and slippery, he doesn't do things that show his face, and he does a lot of things that ruin his character. broke into the big disaster of injustice, so he thought of dragging the master into the water, forcing himself to help him solve it, and he was affected by him one after another, last time it was Xu Guan, this time it was a lich. As soon as he thought of this, Qiao Song's calf that was still in a plaster cast hurt for a while, and he snorted coldly.

"Master, go slowly, I'll help you. What Li Qianshan said was quite beautiful.

"I need your help!?" Qiao Song raised his eyebrows, I walked well by myself, and it was more difficult for me to walk with you.

Li Qianshan didn't want to think about how fast Qiao Song could walk with a lameness? He was still afraid that he would be thrown off by him? While tugging at his master's clothes, he looked around sneakily, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a young man walking towards him on the other side of the street, and his appearance was quite familiar.

"Ahh

"What are you smoking!?" Qiao Song scolded him.

"Shhhhh

Qiao Song looked angrily in the direction pointed by the apprentice, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, but once he saw that person, the master himself panicked, and he couldn't hold back the calm he had pretended to be before.

The young man with a sad look on his face across the street was Xu Guan, who they had been unable to besiege and kill.

"How can it be so coincidental!" Qiao Song gasped, hurriedly turned his body around, turned his back to Xu Guan, and prayed in his heart, but he must not be seen. The words of the Lord of the Lich Clan are still vivid, and now Xu Guan can't even help the protector of the Lich Clan, if he sees it, he can't be crushed to death by one of his fingers?

But in fact, Qiao Song and Li Qianshan were too worried.

Xu Guan first passed through the strange and familiar Forbidden City, and then looked at Jingshan where Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, and his mood was low to a certain extent. At this moment, his eyes are empty, as if he is godless, and he has unconsciously cut off all the movement of the outside world and closed himself, as if he wants to use this time in a daze to inject a large amount of blank space into his memory to dilute the sadness in his heart.

Xu Guan in this state would not notice the two sneaky cultivators hiding across the street.

Xu Guan was in a daze, walked over without any abnormality, and got farther and farther away from the two of him.

Li Qianshan's head was almost stuck in Master's arms, and it took ten minutes before he dared to ask Master in a whisper, "Is he gone?"

"I should go. Qiao Song was no better than Li Qianshan, he turned his back to the other side of the street, lowered his head hard, and poked his chin into his chest.

But he didn't dare to raise his head now, let alone turn around, for fear that as soon as he turned around, he would see the young man who had beaten him up standing in front of him, and when he saw that he had turned around, he showed a cruel smile, and said, 'Long time no see, the road is narrow', and then hit him with a few punches in front of the door, and this life will be explained here.

"Master. You turn your head and look. Li Qianshan was so frightened that his voice trembled.

"Shut up!" Qiao Song scolded, no matter what, he couldn't muster up the courage to turn around and look back, but it wasn't a problem to stand here all the time. He thought about it, didn't he have a watch, so he rolled up his left sleeve, revealing the bright watch, through the reflection of the glass cover on the watch, raised it to adjust the angle, and saw the opposite side of the street, people coming and going, and there was no Xu Guan's figure, he turned his wrist again, and made sure that Xu Guan was not around, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Song straightened up, saw that Li Qianshan was still in his arms, and slapped him on the back of the head with his backhand: "Let's go!

"Ouch. Li Qianshan hugged his head, the first thing he did when he straightened up was to look around, and confirmed with his own eyes that Xu Guan was not nearby, so he sighed: "It's so dangerous." That lich Xiao Nier is right, this Xu Guan really came to the imperial capital" and then there was a trace of doubt: "But what is he doing here?"

"Didn't you see him heading north?" Qiao Song secretly scolded the idiot, usually calculating that others are full of bad intestines, and at this critical time, it is like being filled with dung. "Why did we enter the imperial capital from the north? Isn't it because there are masters guarding the southeast, south, and west! Now that Xu Guan is going north, isn't it just right to defend the north?"

"But they've blocked all sides, how can we get out?" Li Qianshan grimaced.

"I have to think of another way. Qiao Song also had nothing to do, so he picked up his crutches and limped towards the coal mountain, at which time they could already see the high coal mountain in the coal mountain park.

Because the cultivation of this pair of masters and apprentices was low, and they were not at all enough to cause a warning of the enchantment, the guardians of the imperial capital did not notice that the two of them were close to the coal mountain.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Li Qianshan and Qiao Song came to the gate of Coal Mountain Park, bought two tickets, and walked in with other ordinary tourists.

In winter, there is not much to see in the park, and even when it snows, most people choose to go to the Forbidden City, which is not far from here. The goose feathers fluttering down, the beauty of the snow-covered roof, as if the time is reversed by hundreds of years, taking people back to the dynastic era of the song and swallow dance, the Forbidden City at that time was still called the Forbidden City, and there were wonderful piano girls in the city at that time, as well as snake waist dancing girls.

The pair walked hurriedly in the sparsely populated park, and after a few turns, they reached the foot of the coal mountain.

They did not rush up the mountain, but circled around the mountain, carefully checking whether there were any traces of the secret passage at the foot of the mountain. After finding no abnormalities at the foot of the mountain, I slowly went up the mountain, and turned back and forth several times on the mountain road, even on the mountain with impassable roads and weeds and trees, I tried my best to jump in and slip around a few times. Finally, I came to the top of the mountain.

The top of the coal mountain is an antique building built with a sloping roof, red pillars and yellow tiles, very ancient atmosphere, around this building, is four wide roads about two zhang wide, paved with stone slabs, and surrounded by impermeable railings of stone masonry.

The stone road standing on the south side can take in the entire Forbidden City. It is also in the middle of the stone road on this side that there is a round cake iron lid about the size of the sewer lid, on which a brief map is drawn, and five characters are written below the map - the center point of the imperial capital.

This is the very center of the entire imperial capital, and it is also the eye of the array.

Li Qianshan stood in front of the round cake iron cover, looked down several times, and asked Qiao Song next to him: "Master, did you say that this place would be the entrance to the array eye, and you can enter it by opening it." ”

Qiao Song didn't answer him, and in fact, Qiao Song couldn't answer at this time, because he was busy panting. Climbing the mountain and searching the mountain was a tiring job for Qiao Song, who was lame, and it was still a tiring job that could cost half a life, so he finally stopped here, stood still with his hands folded on crutches, and gasped for breath.

It took him a long time to recover and say, "Maybe." In the evening, when the crowd has dispersed, you can see if you can lift the lid. ”

"Me?"

"Is it me?" Qiao Song glared.

Li Qianshan was stunned again in an instant, so he had to answer in a low voice.
