In front of the gate of the Fire Temple, Hu Guiyang waited in the carriage for half an hour, and Zuo Yu lifted the curtain from the outside, "Come on." ”

It was past noon, and there was still some time before nightfall, Hu Guiyang got out of the car and asked, "Zhang Wuchen was taken away?" ”

"Well, he went to Lingji Palace to listen to the announcement, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back tonight, so we can stay in the temple for one night."

Lingji Palace is one of the largest Taoist temples in the capital, deeply relied on by the imperial court, the real person also serves as a high-ranking official of the Taoist Gate, the Fire Temple is just a small temple outside the city, the temple wishes Zhang Wuchen is naturally on call, and is very happy to provide accommodation for the Taoist priest of Lingji Palace who does things in the city.

The two lived in the best guest room in the temple, and Hu Guiyang fell on the bed as soon as he entered the room, "It's really comfortable." ”

Zuo Yu stood at the door, peeking out for a long time, and after confirming that he was not being monitored, he turned around and said, "Can you do it?" ”

"At least wait until it gets dark, there are too many people right now."

The fire temple will only be vigorous in a certain season, and it is usually quite deserted, only a small number of Taoists enter and exit, Zuo Yu said coldly: "There is no need to wait, we will set off to the south before dark." ”

"Don't worry, I'll hide the divine jade in the Fire God Temple, we can't just go in and take it in broad daylight, there must be someone guarding there."

"Didn't you put the jade in in broad daylight before?"

"It's easy to put and it's hard to take, there are two receivers there, you have to control one to get rid of the other, and if you are careless, you ......"

"Wait until the first watch at the latest, if there are still people in the palace, I will kill people to make room for you."

"No, as long as it is night, the people here should rest." Hu Guiyang smiled, but he was beating the drum in his heart, he originally had two receivers, one large and one small, all of which were searched, even if they were still there, with his current unfamiliar methods, he couldn't control them freely.

He couldn't help but weigh his skills, whether he could defeat Zuo Yu with his bare hands.

Zuo Yu is also a Taoist suit, with a dagger hidden on his body, and no other weapons.

"What are you looking at?" Zuo asked pre-asked.

Hu Guiyang looked away and yawned, "I didn't look at anything, I was just in a daze." ”

The Fire Temple attaches great importance to these two Lingji Palace Taoist priests, the temple is not there, and the Taoist who is specially responsible for hospitality frequently comes to visit, one will ask for tea, one will send snacks, every time I want to stay and chat, but I was ruthlessly rejected by Zuo Pre.

"You do that to raise suspicion." Hu Guiyang reminded him that he sat up from the bed because the Taoist had said that the meal would be held later.

Zuo Yu sneered, "If you are too polite to him, you will leak." ”

It didn't take long for two Taoists to come over to deliver the meal, it was still a vegetarian meal, but there was real wine, Hu Guiyang tasted two bites, "The food is not as good as Lingji Palace, and the wine is good wine." ”

Zuo Yu only ate a few bites, and Hu Guiyang was full of food and drink.

As the sky got dark, Zuo Yu suddenly got up, "Don't wait." ”

"Rigid Black ......"

"Even if there is a team of brocade guards in the hall, I won't wait."

"You have your say." Hu Guiyang also stood up.

The two went out, went around a small half-circle, and came to the temple.

The fire temple was not large, it was very dark, and only a permanent lamp was lit on the offering table.

A middle-aged Taoist stood guard in the hall, walked up to him, and said with a smile: "Are two real people coming to worship God?" Although the fire god here is not as good as the Erxu Zhenren of Lingji Palace, it is also quite effective, and the people nearby and even the whole city regard the fire god as ......."

"Go out, and we'll worship God alone." Zuo pre-said flatly.

"Don't you need guidance? The god of fire is different from other gods in that he has another set of rituals. ”

"No, I don't." Left pre-accentuated tone.

The Taoist laughed awkwardly, "I'm just outside the door, something called me ......"

Hu Guiyang suddenly flew up and kicked on the Taoist's buttocks, "If you want to go, you can go, what are you talking about?" Don't we Lingji people worship God? ”

The Taoist staggered, his face changed suddenly, and he walked out in a panic, "Yes, yes, I'll go out." ”

"What are you doing?" Left pre-question.

"Our Lingji Palace can't be too polite to these miscellaneous temple Taoists, you said."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, where is Shenyu?"

"You take two steps back."

Zuo Yu reluctantly took two small steps back, Hu Guiyang was not satisfied, and motioned him to retreat again, but Zuo Yu had to take another step back.

Hu Guiyang knelt on the ground, carefully got under the offering table, turned slightly sideways, and gently groped under the table, without making a sound for a long time.

The ever-bright lamp was placed on the offering table, Hu Guiyang was in the dark range under the lamp, and he waited anxiously, and whispered: "It's not okay yet?" ”

"Shh

After waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, there was no movement under the offering table, and the middle-aged Taoist said from outside the door, "Two real people ......."

"Get out of here." Zuo Yu shouted, his patience was running out.

The middle-aged Taoist hurriedly ran away, and said secretly in his heart: It is said that the people in Lingji Palace have a big temper, and it is true.

After waiting for a while, Zuo Yu took two steps forward, bent down to check, and whispered, "How long will it take?" ”

"Quick...... Ah......h

There was a scream from under the offering table.

Zuo was startled, rushed over with an arrow step, and knelt down to check.

Hu Guiyang has been preparing for a long time, and he can't wait for Deng Haisheng, so he can only do it himself, of course, there is no divine jade under the table, and there is no receiver, it is clean, there is not even a stone, Hu Guiyang touched it for a long time, and the only "weapon" that can be found is the belt inside the robe.

He quietly untied the strap, wrapped the ends around his hands, and as soon as the head of the left prefect reached in, he immediately put it on.

Left pre-dark, Hu Guiyang is also dark, this set can only estimate the position, so the room left is relatively large, it is indeed in the neck, but it can't be tightened immediately.

Zuo was extremely alert, and when he realized that something was wrong, he immediately reached out and grabbed the strap while falling to the ground and rolling.

Hu Guiyang followed out, desperately grabbing the belt, and collecting a little more.

Neither of them spoke, but rolled around the temple, fighting for their lives.

Hu Guiyang's previous caution was right, Zuo Yu was originally a master in Jinyiwei, after learning the fire god technique, he has been practicing diligently, never interrupted, and he is one of the few people who can get the supply of Jindan, and his skills have increased steadily, but it is Hu Guiyang, whose skills have ups and downs, and now he is only a little stronger than when he was the weakest, and he is far from being Zuo Qian's opponent.

The advantage of the sneak attack quickly disappeared, and Zuo Yu finally pulled out his dagger and cut the cloth belt around his neck.

Hu Guiyang turned over and got up, walked towards the outside of the hall, stopped at the door, and turned to face Zuo Yu, who was already furious.

"Why don't you run? There's someone out there, and you don't want to get involved? Haha, I didn't expect Hu Guiyang to be a kind-hearted saint. "You don't even care about the antidote?" Okay, then I'll fulfill you. ”

"Kill me, where do you go to find Shenyu? How do you go back to Jinyiwei? How to face cousin Zuo Liang's parents? ”

"I will not kill you, but I will remove one of your arms and legs until you are obedient."

Zuo pre-held a dagger and pounced, Hu Guiyang dodged, and was soon forced into a corner, with no way out.

Zuo Yu didn't make a move immediately, standing three steps away, panting slightly, "I've always wanted to kill you, although I can't completely get my wish today, at least I can cut off your limbs." Which arm to start with? Reach out, I'll let you choose for yourself. ”

Hu Guiyang gasped even harder, and even at this time he could laugh, "Actually, you can get exactly what you want." ”

"Huh?"

"Let me tell you the truth, Shenyu is not here at all, it is in Chen Xun's hands, and it is estimated that it will be taken away by Shang Ming soon."

Zuo Yu was stunned for a while, and said sharply: "Impossible, Chen Xun has nothing to do with Shenyu, and he doesn't understand its benefits at all......"

"Really? When you were in your own room, you were specifically responsible for finding the divine jade, and all the relevant documents had to go through Chen Xun's hands, so would he not know the benefits of the divine jade? ”

Zuo Yu was speechless, only panting.

"Listen to me, I guessed right: Chen Xun was dissatisfied with Jiang Yun's occupation of the study, so he took the spare key and quietly entered, probably to destroy the documents and create a little trouble for Jiang Yun, but he found a strange jade pendant in the pile of old papers, and it felt different in his hand, so he took it home, appreciated it all the time, and the more he looked at it, the more he loved it."

"When the news of Shenyu's disappearance spread, Chen Xun realized that the strange jade pendant he found was Shenyu, and he could hand it in and make a great contribution, but he didn't want to do it, because after a few days of getting along day and night, he couldn't abandon Shenyu, and would rather take it with him and flee."

Jiang Yun knew it was him, so he chased him to the dock. The person who killed Jiang Yun was really Chen Xun's accomplice? I don't think so, it's probably Chen Xun himself. Shenyu is indeed a good thing, but it's a pity that I don't always carry it with me, otherwise I wouldn't have lost to you tonight......"

Hu Guiyang described it vividly, as if he had seen Chen Xun's every action and every thought with his own eyes.

Zuo listened in a daze, his anger jumped up, for the sake of Shenyu, he had given up too much, and there was no turning back, but he was teased all the way, and he was getting farther and farther away from Shenyu.

Chen Xun is the target of the East Factory, even if he has the help of the Lingji Palace, he can't take it by force.

"Hu Guiyang!" Zuo Yu shouted, raised the dagger, and pounced on it to stab directly, the purpose was not to cut off limbs, but to kill.

Hu Guiyang immediately knelt down and rolled, and escaped from under his left crotch.

Zuo Yu was extremely angry, he used too much force, he didn't have time to change his moves, the dagger stabbed into the wall, and he couldn't pull it out for a while, he turned around and chased after him angrily, even if he used his hands, he wanted to strangle Hu Guiyang.

"You're finished." Hu Guiyang also wanted to provoke Zuo Yu, "Jinyi Wei arrested you, relatives hate you, wife and children have lost support, food and clothing, and they will hate you even more......"

The furious Zuo Yu lost his discipline, but his movements were faster and more ruthless, and he quickly knocked Hu Guiyang down with a punch, pounced on him and grabbed his neck, "You have to die with me!" ”

Hu Guiyang struggled, but he couldn't gossip anymore.

The ever-bright lamp shone on Zuo Qianqing's exposed face, and his face was redder than the lamplight.

Suddenly, Zuo Zhen's expression changed suddenly, his face quickly returned to normal, and there was no anger in his eyes, only blank and wooden.

Then he began to speak, very quickly, as if he were memorizing a scripture or eagerly explaining something to someone.

Hu Guiyang secretly screamed bitterly, he angered Zuo Pre, just to see this scene, but there was one thing he didn't expect, Zuo Pre's hands were still pinched around his neck, and it was even more difficult to break free.

Hu Guiyang's face became redder and redder, and his chest was tight and short of breath.

Just when he was about to lose his hold, someone finally rushed in and pulled Zuo Qian's hands away.

Hu Guiyang took a few breaths, stood up, and looked at Deng Haisheng, "If you come a little later......

"I didn't expect Captain Hu to bring a friend." Deng Haisheng looked at Zuo Yu in surprise, this brocade-clothed hundred-hundred-hundred

Hu Guiyang looked at Yuan Mao who came with him again, "It turns out that you were taken away by them." Thank you. ”

"Thank me for what?" Yuan Mao asked confusedly, also looking at Zuo Yu, who had fallen into madness.

The six or seven people who broke into the temple were all staring at Zuo Yu.

Hu Guiyang rubbed his neck and said in a very low voice, "Thank you for talking crazy in the coffin." ”

When Yuan Mao was most frightened in the coffin, he fell into a state of madness, so Hu Guiyang tried his best to provoke Zuo Yu, and he really succeeded, but if Deng Haisheng and others did not help, he would still be strangled to death.

Zuo Yu's crazy words were finally finished, his head tilted, and he fainted.

The people of the Five Elements Sect looked at each other and were silent for a long time.

Hu Guiyang opened his mouth and said, "Let's get down to business, do you recognize me as the sect leader?" ”

Deng Haisheng turned his head and replied, "I don't recognize it, but ......" He glanced at Zuo Yu on the ground again, and then turned his gaze to several other elders, "You can discuss." ”
