Chapter 3 Section 34 Thrilling
The lunar month is the month of sacrifice, but the thirteenth lunar month is one of the rare days without activity. In the evening of that day, Chengshan and the others came to the palace early and lived in the side hall arranged for them by Wu Zetian.
After nightfall, the Yingxian Courtyard where Wu Zetian lived was brightly lit, and it seemed that he was drinking and having fun with Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi's brothers. I saw that the palace people were busy going in and out for a while, and they seemed to be serving Wu Zetian to sleep peacefully.
Then the palace fell silent, and no activities such as idlers were allowed, only the forbidden army patrolled back and forth.
By the time of the third watch, the palace was already silent, and only the gentle footsteps of the guards patrolling back and forth could be heard.
Chengshan and Gongsun Yu walked out of the side hall and stood under the corridor, only to see a bright moon hanging in the sky, and the bright moonlight sprinkled the earth, so that everything was coated with a white bright film.
"It's so quiet here. Chengshan couldn't help but sigh. "It's been a long time since I've seen a view like this. ”
The Tang Dynasty court architecture has a unique charm, although it was not strange at the time, but Chengshan is after all from the modern era back in time, so it is very pleasing to see this beautiful building.
"What do you think of again?" Gongsun Yu felt that Chengshan seemed to be feeling a lot of emotion recently.
"Do you remember the night of the full moon, the top of the mountain? ”
Gongsun Yu smiled slightly: "I remember." ”
"I really didn't want to live at that time, so I was bent on dying, but when I really faced death, I was a little reluctant. Man is really a strange animal, he tries his best to get it but does not cherish it, and only when he loses it does he know the preciousness of existence. I was so impulsive at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have consumed so much of your spiritual power and caused you to suffer. ”
"You don't have to blame yourself too much, every spirit collector goes through this process. From an ordinary person to a spirit collector, there will be a very huge psychological gap. If you don't adjust yourself and indulge yourself, you're likely to fail. Fortunately, you are kind by nature and have not done anything too excessive, so I am willing to help you through this difficult time. ”
"I still wronged you at the time. Chengshan glanced at Gongsun Yu again. "I really admired your patience and finally let me solve the answer to the problem myself. ”
"The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time. I can't be wrong with the person I'm looking at. Gongsun Yu patted Chengshan on the shoulder. "I'm optimistic about you!"
After speaking, the two of them smiled slightly.
"What are you talking about, so happy?" Shao Hui walked out of the house, he couldn't resist the temptation of food just now, and feasted in the room.
"Nothing. ”
"You're hiding it from me again!" Shao Hui was unhappy again, he had vaguely heard the conversation between the two people just now, although he didn't hear it clearly, but it should be very interesting. And when he saw Chengshan's sincere confession, he thought it was very funny, so he wanted to come over and join in the fun.
Shao Hui was about to continue asking about their chat, when suddenly a dark shadow flashed in front of him, and an assassin in a night suit landed on the roof of the Yingxian Courtyard.
Chengshan and Gongsun Yu flew up in an instant, heading straight for this black shadow.
The black-clothed assassin was about to emit a blue light from his hand and shoot it at Wu Zetian, who was sleeping on the bed, when he suddenly saw two people flying towards him, he was deeply surprised, and immediately retracted the blue light in his hand.
Although the black-clothed assassin was masked, Chengshan and Gongsun Yu knew his origin at a glance.
"What are you doing here?" asked Gongsun Yu in a low voice.
"It has nothing to do with you, you don't meddle with your business!" was Yuan Yijie who spoke.
"You don't want to come nonsense!" Chengshan stared at his every move.
"You guys don't mind your business and go away!" Yijie seemed unwilling to stop there, but when he saw the Zhigusheng Flower Pen and Tongjin Xuansi Inkstone in Chengshan and Gongsun Yu's hands, he felt a little bad.
"Your master told you to hurry back. Gongsun Yu whispered.
Yijie was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked around, worried that Bailixuan was also nearby. He thought about it, he was alone, and the other party still had treasures, so it seemed that today's plan could only be canceled. Therefore, Yijie shot a spiritual light at Chengshan and Gongsun Yu, and then took the opportunity of them to dodge, turned around and fled.
Chengshan was about to go to catch up, but was pulled by Gongsun Yu. "No need to chase, we'll just wait here to see if he dares to come back. ”
"Just let him go?" Chengshan was a little unwilling.
"The time has not yet come. Gongsun Yu sneered, just now Yijie actually dared to attack the two of them, this is already a taboo for the spirit gatherer.
"Oh well. ”
Chengshan and Gongsun Yu flew back to the side hall and landed in front of Shaohui.
"Who is that man, why didn't you catch it?"
"Sooner or later. Chengshan whispered.
"The three of us took turns keeping vigil tonight, and if we saw him dare to come again, we would give him a high-five. Gongsun Yu arranged. "Shaohui, you come first. He shouldn't be back anytime soon, and in an hour, I'll replace you. ”
"Who the hell is that man?"
"Yuan Yijie. ”
"How could it be him?" Shao Hui was a little puzzled.
"There will be an answer soon. Gongsun Yu patted him on the shoulder. "You can take a good look and let us know as soon as you notice anything unusual. ”
"Don't worry, go and rest. ”
In this way, the three of them took turns to be on duty all night, but Yijie did not show up, and there was nothing to do all night.
The next day, Wu Zetian summoned Chengshan, Gongsun Yu and Shao Hui, she was very happy, it seemed that she slept very peacefully, and did not have nightmares, and after rewarding the three, she asked them to continue to guard in the palace and move freely during the day.
Gongsun Yu said that he needed to prepare pills, went to Tai Hospital, and used the excuse of buying medicinal materials, and went to Huirentang Pharmacy, and after seeing Bailixuan, he communicated briefly.
Bai Li Xuan hadn't seen Yuan Yijie for several days, and he didn't know where Yijie had gone, who he had met, or what he was doing it for. But Bai Li Xuan decided to close the door of "making something out of nothing" tonight and not let Yijie come in.
"Does it have to be like this?" Gongsun Yu was taken aback when he heard this.
"It's really helpless. ”
"If he can't go back to the room of 'making something out of nothing', he will ......" Gongsun Yu didn't want to say this result, just because this result was too terrible.
"Alas. Baili Xuan looked up to the sky and sighed, it seemed that his efforts were about to be in vain.
Seeing that Baili Xuan had made up his mind, Gongsun Yu couldn't say more, but he didn't want to waste this last opportunity to see if he could make Yijie change his mind. So Gongsun Yu searched for traces of Yijie in Luoyang City, but found nothing.
In the evening, the three of them came to the palace again, and continued to keep vigil in the side hall according to Wu Zetian's request.
"Wouldn't that be a pity?" Chengshan was also surprised when he learned of Bailixuan's decision. If Yijie doesn't rush back tonight, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"I've also tried to persuade Bailixuan, but he seems to have made up his mind. In the past few days, he has also sent people to look for Yijie's whereabouts, but he has no clue. The door of 'creating something out of nothing' will automatically close when it comes to the test of the moon pivot and the punishment of the heart, and no one can open it. ”
"If he can get back tonight, maybe there's a chance of life?"
"Perhaps, if we can find him, and he is willing to go back. Gongsun Yu looked at Shao Hui again. "You have to be safe, and if someone attacks you, try to avoid it and don't have a head-on confrontation. ”
"No problem, you can rest assured. Shao Hui nodded in agreement.
At the second watch, the lights in the Yingxian Courtyard gradually dimmed, and the silver-white calm in the palace returned. Chengshan and the three of them stood in the corridor and looked around, hoping to see Yijie's figure.
"It's coming!" Shao Hui blurted out, and he saw a dark shadow flying from the west.
"Don't move here!" Gongsun Yu and Chengshan flew straight towards the black shadow and stopped directly in front of the black-clothed assassin.
"You guys are not finished! what should you do, don't stand in the way of the master's future!" Yijie's tone was very harsh, and he was very unhappy when he saw Chengshan and Gongsun Yu blocking him in front of him.
"Yijie, hurry up and go back to your master, tonight is going to be the moon pivot scattered, if you don't go back, you will be wiped out!" Gongsun Yu went straight to the point.
"Don't lie to me, I won't go back!"
"We won't lie to you, didn't your master say it? You must go back to the room of 'making something out of nothing' tonight, and after tonight, you will never be able to go back!" Chengshan was also very anxious.
"Why don't you go back!"
"I'm not like you. ”
"I don't believe your nonsense, get out of the way!" Yijie seemed to be iron-hearted, and he couldn't listen to other people's advice at all.
"This will ruin your life! And it will also affect your master!" Chengshan was really anxious.
"Don't tell me these great truths! I have everything now, and I am not afraid of anything, but I need to be recognized by the world. I want to make a name for myself and be famous for eternity!" Yijie said justifiably. "Get out of the way, or I'm really welcome!"
"Joke, I'm still afraid that you won't succeed?" Chengshan clenched the Zhigusheng flower pen and Tongjin Xuansi inkstone in his hand. "You little spirit collector still dare to speak wildly, I don't know if you think you are dying!"
"Don't hurt him!" Gongsun Yu turned his head and said to Chengshan. "There's something to say. ”
Yijie didn't want to talk nonsense with the two of them, but he was blocked again, so Yijie saw Shao Hui, who was standing under His Highness and looking at them.
"Then you're welcome!" Yijie thought to himself, I'm going to attack this most useless monk, see if you can save him? As long as you come to the rescue, I can start and let Wu Zetian have nightmares all night.
So he went straight to Shaohui, and the blue light in his hand was also sacrificed.
Chengshan and Gongsun Yu were taken aback when they saw Yijie preparing to attack Shaohui. By the time they were about to save Shao Hui, it was too late, and a blue light emitted from Yijie's hand and went straight to Shao Hui's chest.
Shao Hui was also frightened. If it was hand-to-hand combat, he could still handle it, but he could only sit and wait for this kind of air-to-air combat. He clearly remembered Gongsun Yu's instructions, so he turned around and ran into the house, trying to avoid Yijie's attack.
Yuan Yijie smiled slightly. "Look where you're going!"
