From Yuan Tiangang's appearance to the woman's disappearance and departure, it was only two sentences. The two sides competed in a move, and they couldn't see any depth. Yuan Tiangang didn't chase after him, his pupils turned into a galaxy, his mana enveloped the entire building, and the raging fire disappeared in an instant.

After doing this, Yuan Tiangang looked at the roof of the highest floor of the building, and in the dark, there seemed to be a figure sitting upright.

"I've been watching it for so long, it's time to show up, right?"

Yuan Tiangang said a word, and when he saw that there was no response, his expression suddenly turned cold, and he pointed out a finger in the air. The white light pierced through the endless darkness. The figure grunted in pain, and then a series of footsteps of trampled tiles rang out. He still didn't chase after him, stood with his back to Li Shimin for a long time. It wasn't until the black clouds over Chang'an City gradually faded and a little moonlight fell down the stairs that Yuan Tiangang came back to his senses.

At this time, Li Shimin just withdrew his gaze from looking up at the night sky and looked directly at the person in front of him.

"If I guessed correctly, you are Yuan Tiangang, the phase master often mentioned by the auxiliary machine, right? Sure enough, the fairy wind Dao bone has immeasurable magical powers. Fangcai, thanks to your timely appearance, I escaped the catastrophe. ”

"Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, and his martial arts are world-famous. Even if there is no trail, you can be safe and sound. ”

Yuan Tiangang and Li Shimin talked, their eyes lowered, and they did not look directly at the Tang Emperor. Li Shimin didn't care, smiled, and walked to the fence again. Looking around, the firelight inside and outside Chang'an City also decreased, and the sound of swords and shouts of killing gradually faded. The huge city in front of me seems to have experienced a dream. And this dream is about to wake up.

"The imperial court is the time to employ people, although I want to govern the world with Buddhist teachings, but I do not exclude Taoist warlocks. I heard that Yuan Xiangshi made the county magistrate of Huojing County in his early years. If the prime minister can enter the court as an official, I must treat each other with courtesy. ”

"Your Majesty is benevolent and virtuous, and he is regarded as a generation of Ming Jun. However, there is already Wei Zheng above the court, and it is not appropriate to have an onmyoji in the court class, so as to attract criticism. This is an official matter, and I ask Your Majesty to retract the order. The killing and robbery of Chang'an has been crossed, and it is time for Xiaodao to retire. ”

After Yuan Tiangang finished the last word, his figure was blurred, and he quickly disappeared in place. Li Shimin did not speak, nor did he look back. After a few more minutes, the black clouds in the sky suddenly exploded, turning into countless scattered streamers. The wind and clouds are turbulent, and the sky is transient. After all the streamers disappeared into the heavens and the earth, the moonlight and starlight finally sprinkled back into Chang'an City.

The night sky is incomparably clear, clean and free of any impurities. Looking in all directions from the top of the platform, there is silence and indescribable serenity. All the turmoil seems to have disappeared, and the sleeping Chang'an City is as if nothing has happened.

Li Shimin looked at it for a moment, suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled, and then walked down the stairs with his hands in his hands. At this time, Lu Xin had just recovered from a burst of dizziness.

Looking towards the ground, Ji Yu was gone, leaving only a place of ashes that had been blown away by the wind. It was the traces left by the burning of the avatar rune, proving that what had just happened was not a dream.

Shaking his head, Lu Xin still felt in a trance. Although the night became clearer, the vision was blurred a little. Looking in the direction of Suzaku Street, the rolling black clouds over Chang'an City were gone, and the huge "legs" were also gone. Heaven and earth, surprisingly quiet. But this quietness, there is no longer a palpitating feeling.

"Lu Xin, Qin'er. Why are you here? ”

It wasn't until a call sounded in his ears that Lu Xin completely woke up from his trance. Looking in the direction from which the voice came, Yang Xiu appeared at the end of the alley at some point. Yang Qin was overjoyed and hurriedly rushed up to hug his sister. Lu Xin naturally breathed a sigh of relief, with a long-lost smile on his face.

But Yang Xiu's state didn't look good, his face was very white, and he was even a little scary. And the voice of the voice is much stiffer than before. Lu Xin was a little worried, but he didn't see any injuries on Yang Xiu's body, and he was embarrassed to ask more.

"Sister, have you been caught?"

"En......" Yang Xiu nodded, but then shook his head again, his eyes dodging. Let him run, but he is already seriously injured. In a short period of time, it should not be possible to return to the Xuantian Sect. ”

"That's good, but this is not the place to talk. It seems that the catastrophe of Chang'an has passed. Let's go back to Qianfu to rest first, and if there is anything, we will talk about it when we wake up. ”

Although Lu Xin was worried about the state of Yangxiu, it was obviously not the time to delve into it. After a night of fighting, everyone was tired. Yue Buhei was seriously injured, and the Yang sisters were poisoned by snakes, and they all needed to rest.

When the group returned to the Qian Mansion, it was already past the hour. The strange thing is that all forces made a big fuss in Chang'an City all night. The people of the Qian Mansion slept very hard. Especially when passing by the side house where people live, the snoring is earth-shattering. This scene is as weird as it gets.

"These pigs, when the catastrophe comes, still sleep so soundly, sooner or later they die in bed. Alas, how can this champion be so miserable. Is it true that the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer my mind and work my muscles and bones? That's it, this champion can only accept his fate. Come on, let the storm come harder, ahhhhh ”

Syllable!

As soon as the scholar finished calling, he was slapped on the back of his head, but Yue Buhei, who was supported by him, was impatient. I saw the demon fox scolding "idiot", looking at the side room with extremely solemn eyes.

"You've suffered from a fart, and you've been crawling in the grass all night to sleep, and I think you're more comfortable than a pig. Just like you, if you can get the top prize, then the Tang Dynasty court will be over. ”

"Cut...... You know a! This champion is to observe the people's feelings, and before he takes office, he is willing to take risks for the people. People like me are not officials, who should be? Besides, this champion never snores when he sleeps, which is like them. ”

"Alright, stop arguing. Just after the catastrophe, the two of you are in the mood to quarrel, and I am really convinced. Fox, don't bully scholars who are uneducated. If you see something, say it. After saying that, hurry back to heal your wounds. ”

"Brother Xin, what do you mean by being uneducated?"

"Hey, hey, hey, it's still Xiao Xinzi who understands the emperor. In fact, all of these people have fallen for illusion. In Taoist parlance, it's a trick. No matter what happens in the world, their consciousness can only be immersed in sleep. Even if you go in and cut them with a knife now, they won't react. ”

"Illusion? Could it be that the people of the entire Chang'an City have been tricked by illusion? ”

Lu Xin was stunned, and if the moon was not dark, he suddenly realized. Chang'an was turbulent, and first the purple Qingzhen people of Sanqing Mountain came with a jade flute and fought with Yuan Tiangang. Then the fire in the Guozijian and the "Ba Snake" hit the palace, and all forces appeared one after another. In the end, the black clouds overwhelmed the city, and the "Taiyin Shadow" descended, and the entire Chang'an shook like an earthquake. But even so, I have never seen a single ordinary person come out of the house because of fear. Even, thousands of households have not lit up since the unitary time, without exception. This obviously doesn't make sense.

However, who can let millions of people in Chang'an fall for illusion? This method is inevitably too terrifying. But after thinking about it, Chang'an is at the feet of the Son of Heaven after all. If the entire Tang Dynasty court was secretly plotting, it would be possible.

Back in the east wing, everyone found a spare room to sleep. Although Yue Buhei was seriously injured, the demon fox had a strong self-healing ability, and it did not hurt its internal organs, so Lu Xin didn't have to worry too much. As for the master Li Chunfeng, for the catastrophe of Chang'an, he had already made plans. Moreover, when the cultivation has reached that level, it is not something that a disciple who has two realms of contemplation and virtual realm can worry about. Closing his eyes and recalling everything that happened at night, Lu Xin soon fell asleep deeply.

In the third year of Zhenguan, on June 30, the imperial court held a scientific examination as scheduled. Early in the morning, the scholar changed into new clothes and woke Lu Xin up from his sleep. When I looked at the sky, it was not yet hour. Lu Xin, who had only slept for a few hours, was still in a state of confusion. However, the scholar is extremely energetic, not to mention how good his complexion is.

"Brother Xin, the fox is disabled, and the two sisters of the Yang family are injured, so you can send me. Hurry up, the court has issued an order. The scientific research site has changed from Guozijian to Hongwen Hall, which is affiliated to Menxia Province, just on the edge of Xishi, let's hurry up and take a look. ”

"What time is this? Since it's so close, can't you go on your own? How old do you have to send to school? ”

"Brother Xin, what do you call this? Someone sends it off, that's called pomp. There is no one to accompany them, they are all poor scholars. I'm the kind of poor scholar who can't even afford to be a scholar? ”

"You really are."

"Brother Xin, I beg you......"

couldn't grind the entanglement of the scholars, Lu Xin had to get out of bed, and after a hasty wash, he was almost dragged out of the Qian Mansion. Across the street, you will find the West Market. In a huge market, the crowds are surging and lively. A few days ago, the traces left by the fire have completely disappeared. And the common people don't seem to have any memory of everything that happened last night. Or rather, there is no memory at all. Looking at the stable and prosperous scene in front of him, Lu Xin couldn't help but smile, but he also felt comfortable.

For ordinary people, it is best not to have anything happening. Busy with firewood, rice, oil and salt every day, having clothes to wear when cold, and having food to eat when hungry, that is enough. For most of life, happiness can only be seen in the ordinary. Lu Xin has always wanted to be an ordinary ordinary person, but fate is too dreamy for him.

Passing through the West Market, the two entered the Qunxian Fang. As the scholar said, the Hongwen Hall of the imperial court was set up in Qunxian Fang, just in the northwest corner of the West Market. At this time, there were already a lot of people standing outside the Hongwen Hall, and many people were still shaking their heads and reciting with books in their hands. Seeing this, the scholar was disdainful for a while, and scolded everyone for "temporarily cramming". It was the first time Lu Xin saw the ancient imperial examination scene, and he was happy. While walking around, I observed the atmosphere of Zhenguan in the early years and the people who read all over the world. But he didn't have long to walk before he stopped under a willow tree.

"How old is this kid, and he's actually here to participate in the scientific expedition? As the saying goes, thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young Jinshi. I have been studying for more than ten years, but I may not be able to get it. A child, what kind of fun is coming, it is simply insulting the word imperial examination! ”
