"Self-inflicted."

"I don't care, the princess came to Chonglin Mountain to help me first, regardless of the risk of being exposed, and told me not to act rashly, if I am not nervous, then I am ...... Love? Mo Yan smiled more and more.

"Cheeky." Mu Yunyi threw a big roll of his eyes at him: "Farewell." ”

Mo Yan could no longer tease, nor did he stop him, he just looked at her departing back and said silently: "We will meet again, soon." ”

Early in the morning of the second day of returning to the palace from Chonglin Mountain, before dawn, Donglin Xun was already sitting in the imperial study to review the recitals. Tanglin Xun has always been diligent, although he is free in the autumn, he will still ask about the affairs of the court, but in the end there is still a lot of political delays, so when he returned to the palace, he only rested for an hour, and then got up.

After a while, Gonggong Kang hurriedly walked in from outside the door, standing on the edge of the imperial case with some anxiety, but he hesitated and did not dare to speak.

"Don't understand the rules?" Donglin Xun raised his head, there was obvious displeasure in his eyes, he was most taboo when he was reading the folds, even if he didn't say a word, he felt disturbed.

"The slave should die, the slave should die, but ......" Gonggong Kang subconsciously wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, "Your Majesty, it's a hundred miles of urgent secret letter from Shikong Temple." ”

Donglin Xun will stop the Zhu Pi in his hand, put down the pen, and stretched out his hand with a solemn expression: "Submit it." ”

Kang Dehai hurriedly stepped forward and handed the secret letter to the emperor, then stepped aside, carefully observing the emperor's expression.

Fang looked at a few words, and there were obvious waves on Donglin Xun's face, and sure enough, it was about the northern border, which was not trivial.

While adding tea soup to the emperor, Gonggong Kang asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, the ...... of Shikong Temple?"

"Something happened to Jiumang Mountain, and the prince was passed."

After Kang Dehai left, Tanglin Xun slowly closed the secret letter and said silently: "After fifteen years of stability, I finally can't hold it there." ”

The Jiumang Mountain Range is located on the border between Dongzhao and Beiqiang, and Wufu Peak is the highest peak of this mountain range and the border between the two countries. The north of Wufu Peak belongs to the border of Beiqiang, and its southern end belongs to the boundary of Dongzhao, and the most special temple in Dongzhao is in this Wufu Peak.

Before half a pillar of incense was reached, Dongling Yi hurried to the imperial study, and Sikong Shaoyang came with him.

"Father, the ...... in the north" I don't know what happened on the way to Tanglin Yi, but it must be very serious for my father to be able to rush himself over so early in the morning.

Tanglin Xun clicked on the secret letter on the table, Donglin Yi and Sikong Shaoyang glanced at each other, and then the two of them focused on the secret letter that was not thick.

"What, the monks on duty guarding the border of Jiumang Mountain in Shikong Temple have disappeared for no reason?" Dongling Yi was shocked after reading the secret letter.

Hearing this, Sikong Shaoyang frowned deeply, and speculated: "Could it be that he went to the surrounding villages or other places and didn't rush back in time?" Sikong Shaoyang took the secret letter from the prince's hand, and after taking a closer look, he denied his guess, because the secret letter read: The monks on duty have been missing for five or six days, and the abbot of Shikong Temple has also sent people around to look for them, and there are no clues to the whereabouts, not to mention, there are several monks who disappeared from the border, so calculated, how to expedite this secret letter, it should have been two days since they came to the palace, so the monks should have been missing for more than seven or eight days.

"Yes...... The ruins of the phaseless? When Sikong Shaoyang said these four words, his right hand had already subconsciously clenched his fist.

If you talk about the ruins of the phaseless, you must start with the Northern Qiang Wu Clan and the Void Turbidity Peak.

Located in the middle of Jiumang Mountain, it was originally not prominent among the mountains, but what really made it famous was that the peak was smoky all year round, and even in spring and summer, the mountain was mostly blooming dark and unknown flowers and plants. In the mysterious depths of the Void Turbidity Peak, is the place where the Beiqiang Wu clan has lived for generations - the ruins of the phaseless.

Except for the people of the Wu clan, no one has really entered the ruins of Wuxiang, naturally there are many people who enter the mountain for various purposes, but in the end they have never come out again, even those sent by the royal family. Therefore, people only know the ruins of the Phaseless from the legends: strangely constructed stilted wooden houses, strangely shaped and terrifying statues of gods, altars that can be seen everywhere, and countless poisonous altar urns.

The Beiqiang royal family has believed in witchcraft since ancient times, and the Wu clan coexists and depends, and even many times, the power and status of the Wu clan almost overrides the imperial power, but the royal family does not contradict this, and the people regard the Wu clan as a faith. Therefore, for a hundred years, the Beiqiang royal family has given the Wu clan a high level of trust and dignity, and the Wu clan has also protected the royal family from "poison".

The Wu clan is the patron saint of the Beiqiang country, but it is undoubtedly a huge threat and hidden danger to the people and people in power in other countries, especially the nearest Dongzhao who is adjacent to it, and it is a headache for the existence of the Wu clan.

Shikong Temple exists as a guardian of the northern border of Dongzhao and guarding against the Wu clan. At the earliest, the Shikong Temple and the Wankong Temple belong to the same sect and the same origin, one south and one north are the two ancient treasure temples of Dongzhao, and later the royal family designated the Wankong Temple as the imperial temple, and the people followed the royal family, so the incense of the Wankong Temple was prosperous, and the Shikong Temple was gradually ignored and forgotten by the people. In fact, this was all intentional by Tanglin Xun back then, he hoped that the Shikong Temple would be a hidden force in the northern Jiumang Mountain, observing every move of the Beiqiang Wu Clan, and the abbot of the Shikong Temple also heard that the monk did have this Taoism and ability, and had insight into the different phases of the Wu Clan and guarded the stability of the north. Therefore, although the Shikong Temple has faded out of people's field of vision over the years, in fact, Tanglin Xun and the Shikong Temple have maintained contacts and provided support and supplies.

The Wu clan has always been arrogant and ambitious, and there is indeed friction with the Dongzhao border from time to time, but the Shikong Temple sits in Jiumang Mountain, and the Wu clan has never taken a big advantage, and the two sides have been in such a stalemate for many years, until fifteen years ago, the Wu clan has undergone great changes.

At that time, the last saint fairy of the Wu clan died not long after, when the new saint succeeded her, she defected from the clan, and the vitality of the Wu clan was greatly damaged, and she collapsed, and then began to hide in the void peak, and the people in the Wu clan rarely came out of the mountain and appeared in the outer world.

"It seems that the previous stable and hidden world of the Wu clan was an illusion, and now I finally can't help it." Dongling Yi knelt down and asked for his life: "Father, the son is willing to lead troops to Jiumang Mountain in the north to find the missing monks, protect the Shikong Temple, and investigate the movements of the Void Turbidity Peak." ”

Tanglin Xun has always been stingy with the prince's experience, but now going to Jiumang Mountain, and in any case with the army is different, not only hardships and hardships, the real terrible source lies in the "unknown" - at the moment Tanglin Xun does not know the other party's purpose, means and movements, and even Master Yiwen also stated in the secret letter that the "opponent" came suddenly, before the monk disappeared, Shikong Temple did not notice the half of the difference......
