On Taiyi Mountain, the mountains in the night are as dark as Dai magnificent. In the vastness, the poplars and green pines standing on the top of the mountain, swaying their branches and leaves in the breeze, appear more vigorous and upright under the reflection of the moonlight. There was a touch of moonlight between the branches and leaves, which leaked into the crunchy ground of the mountains, and by the faint light of the moon, I saw two figures holding hands and galloping briskly through the forest.

The two of them are Yuesheng and Yue'e, and in the afternoon, Yuesheng told Yue'e that he would explore the Taoist temple at night tonight. Unexpectedly, Yue'e was also quite interested, and immediately gave up tonight's cultivation. In the middle of the night, they ran with Yuesheng to those Taoist temples in the mountains and valleys, and the two of them were careful to avoid the guards who guarded and patrolled. After a while, they arrived in front of the Taoist temples.

The history of the construction of these Taoist temples has not been verifiable, but after these decades of turmoil in the world, the Taoist temple has been somewhat mottled and decadent, because the end of the South Mountain is adjacent to Chang'an, there are many dignitaries and dignitaries come here to recuperate and rest, plus a few years ago, a group of Taoist priests here retreated down the mountain to help the imperial court calm down a lot of turmoil, thanks to the community, the imperial court felt its kindness, so allocated money, arranged craftsmen, repaired the Taoist temple, the main reason is that the aura here is strong, the dignitaries and dignitaries all cherish the body, nothing to come here for a health vacation, hoping to prolong life here, that's why the imperial court wanted to repair it.

Yuesheng held Yue'e in his arms and consciously avoided the guards patrolling outside the Taoist temple. Wander around the Taoist temples, each beautifully repaired. Carving the dragon and carving the phoenix, quite majestic. When Yuesheng came to the main temple Daodaotianzun Hall, the rockery pond in the courtyard was entangled, which was quite interesting, and Yuesheng was deeply attracted by a line of words on the stone wall of the courtyard.

The book "The jade furnace smelts the elixir of life, and the righteous path cultivates the Yiqi Pill". A total of 14 words, the font is vigorous and powerful, and the pen is a dragon and snake. It can be described as a work of excellent calligraphy.

But what really attracted Yuesheng was not the beauty of the calligraphy of these fourteen characters, but the fact that Yuesheng was shocked as soon as he saw the content of this couplet, and he felt deep in his heart that this couplet seemed to have a deep meaning, as if it was alluding to a certain artistic conception of exercises, but after meditating for a long time, he finally got nothing.

He continued to take Yue'e to the Taoist temple! The Taoist temple is dedicated to the statue of Lao Tzu and the rank of Daode Tianzun, and the book "Daode Tianzun Divine Position". The shape of the statue is delicate, the knife technique is concise, the demeanor is realistic, and it is lifelike.

The full text of the Tao Te Ching is written in block letters on the side wall. For the "Tao Te Ching", Yuesheng can be said to be too familiar with it, so he hurriedly glanced at other things.

At this moment, there were several soft noises outside the hall, like the sound of someone climbing over the wall and falling to the ground.

Yuesheng hurriedly grabbed Yue'e and made a booing gesture to Yue'e, and the two quickly hid behind the sculpture. As soon as the two of them hid, they saw three people coming in at the door, all dressed in black, with black turbans and steel knives in their hands. and covered his face with a black cloth, apparently afraid that people would recognize him.

As soon as the three of them entered the temple, they came to the statue of Daode Tianzun, looked left and right, then squatted down, and only heard one of them say:

"It's been a few days since the Third Highness came down to this Taiyi Mountain, I believe that after so long, they must have relaxed their vigilance, this is a great opportunity for us to assassinate and kill him, you and I have been taken care of by the prince for so many years, this time we must not miss this opportunity, the glory and wealth are tonight." One of them said in a low voice.

"It's all up to the orders of the eldest brother, we have long been grasshoppers on a rope, and along the way, we have long shared difficulties and blessings. Even if we die here tonight, our two brothers will have no complaints. ”

"Good brother, then let's do it when we're ugly, let's eat something here and rest for a while." After speaking, he took out some food and gave it to the two of them, and when the three of them finished eating, they sat down cross-legged and closed their eyes to recuperate.

After an hour passed, when the sound of the guard outside the temple came, the man who took the lead immediately began to fight, and commanded: "The ugly time has come, go, act." The three of them then dodged out of the temple gate, jumped onto the wall, and disappeared into the darkness.

Yuesheng, Yue'e also flashed out, looked at the direction where the three of them disappeared, and said to Yue'e: "There is a lively look, let's go, let's go and take a look." After speaking, he pulled Yue'e and followed the three of them.

When the three of them approached the Taoist temple not far away, they lowered their speed, and then one of them slipped onto the pine and cypress trees next to the Taoist temple, and the other two jumped on the roof, avoiding the guards patrolling below the Taoist temple, and tiptoed to a side courtyard in the Taoist temple.

Yuesheng immediately ordered Yue'e to stay here, and let Yue'e keep an eye on the person on the tree! After saying that, he stealthily entered the darkness, took advantage of the darkness in the corner of the wall to avoid the surveillance of the man on the tree, followed the wall, and soon came to the side hall where the two men went.

The guards of this hall are obviously much stricter than other places, and it can be said that there are three steps and one post, and five steps and one eye. At the entrance of the side hall, there were also four special guards dressed in military uniforms and holding long swords.

Obviously, this should be the place where the Third Highness rests and sleeps every day. Although Yuesheng has no friendship with this Third Highness, and he has no intention of having a friendship, Yuesheng still thinks that the Third Highness is not bad, and the two faint encounters make Yuesheng feel that this person is bright, bent and stretched, and is a character, if he dies like this, it would be a pity. And Yuesheng also despised the actions of the three people just now, and wasted their lives for the sake of fame and fortune. So he decided to secretly obstruct the matter.

With a plan in his heart, Yuesheng came to the side hall and quietly climbed the beam under the eaves behind the hall. Then he hung upside down on the beam, gently pierced the window paper with a short knife, and carefully observed the movement in the inner sanctum.

I saw that the room was very simple, there was a large Nanmu bed, the third highness was lying on the bed at this time, making a slight snoring sound, and the table not far from the bed was full of all kinds of books and copywriting. In addition, there is a tea machine, and there are a few wooden chairs randomly placed next to the tea machine, and nothing else.

Yuesheng hung on the beams under the eaves of the wall of the apse, in addition to paying careful attention to the movement in the house, but also to observe the guards patrolling outside the house, when there was a patrol passing by, he had to put himself away, and wait for the guards to walk and then hang upside down, but very calmly.

After two quarters of an hour, Yuesheng finally noticed that there was movement in the roof trough of the house, and saw one tile move, and then it was removed, and then several tiles were taken away, leaving a hole.

A rope was quietly put down, and then, a black shadow slipped down the rope, looking at its back, it was the leading brother who was talking in the Daode Tianzun Palace.

The big brother who took the lead slipped off the ground and held the steel knife in his hand! tiptoed towards the big bed of the Third Highness. When he got closer, he raised the steel knife with a hideous look and slashed at the back of the neck of the Third Highness on the bed! At the moment when the steel knife was about to slash at the neck of the Third Highness, a small knife flew and hit the tip of the knife, deflecting the direction of the steel knife, and also woke up the Third Highness on the bed and the guards outside the house.

When His Royal Highness opened his eyes and saw that there was an assassin, he rolled out of bed and shouted, "Who is it?" Seeing that the credit of his hand was about to be extinguished, the leading brother was not so angry that he flew again and slashed at the Third Highness with a long knife. The Third Highness had no weapon in his hand, so he could only dodge and dodge, which was able to avoid the knife of the man in black in front of him.

The man in black was about to step forward, but at this moment, the door was slammed open, and several personal guards shouted, "There are assassins, protect Your Highness!" "Rushed in. When the man in black saw that things were revealed, he tried to climb the rope and slip away to the roof, when another knife flew and cut the rope on which the man in black was climbing. Angry, the man in black shouted, "Who? Repeatedly bad things for me, I'll fuck you! But as soon as he finished speaking, he was surrounded by a group of guards.

Those two knives were thrown by Yuesheng, since he had the lesson of the last enemy attack on the village and fighting, Yuesheng also asked Uncle Thirteen to create ten small knives for himself, which he used in emergencies, but he didn't expect them to come in handy here.

Yuesheng didn't care about the scolding of the big brother in black, and when he saw that the matter had a result, he flashed out of the side hall, took advantage of the chaos inside and outside the hall, and went out to find Yue'e, and the two quietly left the Taoist temple and returned to the grass house.
