"Tonight, the saint rings the Taoist bell here, and also lets us sit beside him, which is a great honor for the Taixu Palace, so there must be no missing half a cent tonight. You wait for a good student to look around, if there is a suspicious person, arrest it first, and wait until the end of this blessing ceremony to find out the identity. Remember, it's better to kill a thousand by mistake than to spare one. Chen Zhenren turned sideways and whispered to Su Changxin.

"Yes, follow what the master says. When the saint rang the bell, I watched the movement around me to make sure nothing went wrong. But with the chaos array of our Taixu Palace, outsiders shouldn't be able to come in casually. Otherwise, the first person to be judged is the watchman who guards the city. Su Changxin replied.

Chen Zhenren saw that the sage was still talking to several princes, and the queen was amused to smile, but the stone in her heart could not fall, and continued: "If outsiders want to come in tonight, it must be more difficult than climbing to the sky. But ......" Chen Zhenren glanced at the distance a few more times: "However, everyone inside the Taixu Palace, you have to be careful." If someone dares to take a step further and stand where they shouldn't, don't worry about feelings. And, of course, the elders. Even if the saint is only frightened tonight, our Taixu Palace is also notorious, how can we become the bearer of the Longguo Daomen?"

Su Changxin nodded: "Master rest assured, the apprentice will do his best to keep the saint safe tonight!"

Chen Zhenren smiled slightly: "It's not to keep him safe tonight!, but to protect him for the rest of his life! In this way, our Taixu Palace can still gain a foothold in the Long Kingdom." The other princes did not express it, and when the situation was clear, remember not to express their position. As long as you have the grace of the saints, the future will not be too bad. ”

Su Changxin knew that there was a struggle for power among the royal family, and even today's saints stepped on the bones of ten thousand people, although he looked like a Confucian scholar now, but in the blink of an eye, he could order the whole door to be beheaded and the nine clans killed! The people in the capital all said that the original Lingnan Qin family was killed by the ten clans, and this matter has always been a taboo thing in the capital, and it can only be talked about behind closed doors.

Now that the three princes were not born to the same mother, and the sage has not yet made it clear who is the crown prince, except for those ministers who dare to gamble their lives to pursue glory and wealth, ordinary people will not express their positions casually. Even the old fox of Tai Academy has hung up signs high, and he has not seen any distinguished guests in recent days. Now that several princes have accompanied the saint here, Taixu Palace naturally wants a bowl of water.

And Su Changxin represents the Taixu Palace!

When Su Changxin heard what Chen Zhenren said, he also lowered his body slightly and replied: "The apprentice is short-sighted, but the master can see clearly." ”

At this moment, the bright moon in the night sky became more and more bright, and this moonlight was a little abnormal, and the scenery in the Taixu Palace Dojo could be seen, as if thousands of white candles were lit.

Chen Zhenren also saw the vision in the sky, this round of bright moon was too white, it was a little unreal, so he couldn't help but say worriedly: "For thousands of years, there has been a legend, I have never believed in it, but there are too many visions recently, so I can't help but cheer up." Although you have outstanding cultivation talents, you are a rare Dao fetus in the Dao Gate for hundreds of years, but your foundation is still shallow, and you need to cultivate the Dao Gate's Nine-Story Building, and you don't know if you step into that Dao Gate. If that happens, you and him may have a fight, and as for who will kill the deer, it will depend on their respective creations. ”

Su Changxin's sword eyebrows furrowed, and in the blink of an eye, he responded with a smile: "I shouldn't disappoint the master!"

......

Tonight is the time when the new year is alternated with the old year, and the curfew at ordinary times has also been lifted, and some juggling troupes in the capital have arrived here, naturally to put on a good show and earn some rewards; the girls to be married who have been grounded in the homes of major officials are also accompanied by their subordinates to watch the colorful lanterns wander around, provoking the pedestrians on the street to stop, blocking the road for a while; many people in several lively restaurants are still eating and drinking, especially the century-old brands such as the Eighth Building, and the flow of people in and out is endless, and the lively atmosphere is sandwiched with dialects from all over the world.

Not far from the Eight Towers, the Star Picking Tower towers into the sky, hovering in the capital for hundreds of years, it is said that this is the place where the Longguo listens to the will of heaven, and the dignitaries are not allowed to get close, otherwise it will cause great disaster. At this moment, except for a few guards at the entrance, there was no one to be seen anywhere else.

At the highest place of the Star Picking Tower, there are carved beams and paintings, and there are a lot of astrolabes and sundials placed in it. At this time, a figure turned his back to the candle flame, and his face could not be seen clearly. Next to him was a table with plates of dishes such as pig's trotters in red oil, ham with bamboo shoots, and steamed sea bass, as well as good wine from several sake shops in the capital, and two cups facing each other. According to this person's status, he can naturally look down on all parts of the capital and enjoy the world of Star Picking Tower.

The moonlight penetrated through the middle of the curtain hanging with the night pearl, and shone on a map of the Star Picking Tower, on which were placed mountains, rivers, city walls, granaries, etc., and the discerning person naturally knew that this was the map of the Long Kingdom, with the boundaries of the territory and the distribution of various state gates. Especially in some fortresses, the city walls are about how many zhang high and have dimensions, and they are made vividly.

At this time, the moonlight shines on the map, slowly moving from the southwest to the northeast, and as the moonlight becomes brighter, the various scenes on the map begin to appear. The person who picked the star tower before was holding his hands and gnawing on the red oil pig's trotters and was eating vigorously, if he disliked his dirty hands, he wiped his hands with high-quality silk. Then he drank a glass of spirits that was fragrant for ten miles, and then sprinkled the other glass of wine on the ground.

Suddenly, he stopped the red oil pig's trotters in his hand, and looked at the white moonlight that entered. Others could only see that the moonlight was getting whiter and whiter, and the whole capital was bright, and there was a sense of daylight, and many pedestrians could see the road clearly when they extinguished the lanterns in their hands. But this person walked out of the curtain, raised his head to look at the Haoyue in the sky and the four elephants and the twenty-eight starry sky next to it, and found that the four elephants in the sky arched the Haoyue's abnormality, and even felt that there was a heaven and earth aura faintly flowing elsewhere.

This person guessed in his heart who was so bold that he dared to steal Haoyue's heaven and earth aura. Looking at it like this, it's just a realm of gathering spirits, and I can't imagine making such a big name. Hey, martial arts cultivators in this world don't even want their lives for the sake of the realm.

Suddenly, the scenery on the map in the Star Picking Tower began to be fully displayed, and the moonlight projected on it instead flowed, sometimes turning into a white river to destroy the city wall, and sometimes turning into a huge stone rushing down, and in a moment, the scenery on the map was scattered, a ruined scene, not as brilliant as it was at the beginning.

The person who picked up the starry tower sensed the abnormality on the map, and with a finger of his left hand, a bright light rushed in, trapping the moonlight in the map and unable to move, and then gradually disappeared. The man walked in, took out the astrolabe and put it into the map, and after a while, there were dots on the map, and the previously destroyed city walls, mountains and rivers were restored to their original state.

The man sat cross-legged in front of the table again, picked up the unfinished red oil pig's trotters, ate a few bites of bamboo shoots and meat slices, wiped his hands with high-quality silk, refilled the cup opposite, and said to himself: "The big dream has first woken up between the world and the world, and the white horse has passed through the gap for a thousand years. If it's really a catastrophe, I'm afraid it's also my chance. ”

The man drank the wine from the cup and lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

After a while, a graceful figure appeared, covered him with a blanket, and disappeared into the darkness.
