It was already the third watch, and there was silence all around, and the patrolling forbidden army captains began to be lazy, and the number of inspections became less. Wu Zetian slept very peacefully last night, so they thought that as long as Gongsun Yu and them guarded him, they would definitely be able to ensure that His Majesty was safe and sound.

However, fortunately, they didn't appear frequently, otherwise in the face of the agile Yuan Yijie, they would have no choice but to add to the chaos.

Yijie went straight to Shao Hui, who was shocked and about to flee back to the room, and a blue light came out of his hand, which accurately hit his back, only to hear an "ah", and Shao Hui was knocked to the ground.

"Bastard!" Cheng Shan scolded, and casually shot the Zhigusheng flower pen in his hand at Yijie.

Yijie heard the wind behind him and knew that danger was approaching, so he quickly jumped to the side and dodged Chengshan's attack. I saw that the ancient flower pen hit the stone steps, rubbing out dazzling sparks.

"Despicable!" Gongsun Yu was also very angry.

"You know how good I am, don't you get out of the way quickly!" Yijie's eyes were bloodshot, he seemed to be red-eyed, and he didn't swear to give up if he didn't achieve his goal.

"You will be punished for doing such nonsense!" Gongsun Yu reprimanded in a low voice.

"I don't believe in any retribution! That's all a trick to fool children, fooling me from childhood to adulthood, how long do you want to deceive me?" "I'll warn you one last time, hurry up and get out of the way, or I'm welcome!"

Chengshan was about to have a seizure, but Gongsun Yu hurriedly waved his hand to stop him.

"Are you really not going back to Immortal Venerable?"

"Don't go back!" Yijie said categorically.

"Well, we've already told you, and it's also the fulfillment of Immortal Venerable's last wish for you. ”

"What?" Yuan Yijie felt inexplicable.

Gongsun Yu didn't explain anymore, looking up at the sky, looking at the bright full moon. He calculated the time, and it was now past midnight, and in the early morning of the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the moon center dispersed the spirit in earnest.

Yijie suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and the spiritual power in the Spirit Bead and Spirit Gathering Incense Burner on his body was churning up and down violently, hitting his internal organs, and the pain was unbearable.

"What's going on!" Yijie clasped his hands to his chest, a pained expression on his face.

"I have already told you, and your master has also said that tonight you must go back to "create something out of nothing" to go to the moon center to disperse the spirit, and complete the test of the heart, if you don't go back, you can only bear this kind of pain. ”

Yijie squatted down in pain, he gritted his teeth, sweating profusely, and seemed very uncomfortable.

"It's so painful! Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Because I haven't experienced it either. Gongsun Yu said calmly that he has always behaved in a proper manner, and if he dared to travel through time and not return to "making something out of nothing", he might have already disappeared.

"Is there any way?" Yuan Yijie almost pleaded.

"Then it's up to you. Gongsun Yu put away the Zhigusheng flower pen and walked over slowly.

At this time, Yijie had already fallen to the ground, and his body had begun to twitch non-stop, which was the spiritual power rushing left and right in his body, almost shattering all the organs in his abdomen.

Originally, when the moon hub dispersed spirits, the spirit collector should return to the room of "creating something out of nothing", return the spiritual power collected in the month to the moon center, and then return it to the spirit collector after the moon center has identified and reassigned. But what Yijie did violated this rule, so without the spiritual power that had been identified and assigned, he couldn't find a home in his body, so he kept colliding.

However, after tossing for a while, Yijie slowly adapted, he covered his chest, and slowly stood up, he now has no attack power at all, and looked at Gongsun Yu with a pleading look and said. "Ask the mage to save my life!"

Gongsun Yu sighed. "Okay, you go out of the palace first and find a place to rest. Wait until tomorrow night at night, you will go to the Xuanmiaoguan in the western suburbs of Luoyang to find me. ”

"Thank you. Yijie was already soaked with sweat, the black veil was close to his face, and his breathing was already very short, after he stabilized his mood, he jumped out of the palace and disappeared into the vast night.

Chengshan had already returned to Shao Hui's side, he helped Shao Hui up, and asked with concern. "How's it going, it's not hurt, is it?"

"It's fine, I just felt like someone pushed me in the back and fell, and it wasn't a big deal. Shao Hui stood up, shook the dust off his body, stretched his arm, and did not seem to be injured. Seeing that he was safe and sound, Chengshan was relieved.

"No, there seems to be a problem. He hurriedly untied the Youling white jade bracelet on his left wrist, the original intact white jade bracelet had now appeared with several deep cracks. "This guy is really hateful!"

Gongsun Yu also walked over, saw the crack on the white jade bracelet, and sighed. "Maybe it's providence. ”

"Providence?" Chengshan was a little unconvinced. "Can we just watch him bully us? Can't we fight back? And why did you let him go? I really want to beat him up and make him remember it for a long time!"

"Why don't I want to teach him a lesson? It's a delaying tactic, and if he stays here, it won't do us any good. In case the patrolling guards of the forbidden army find out, and think that we are with him as an accomplice and deliberately murder His Majesty, then we will not be able to tell if we are jumping into the Yellow River. ”

There are also many stories of thieves shouting to catch thieves in officialdom, and it will not be good if they are discovered by Wu Zetian. Therefore, Gongsun Yu wanted to take Yijie away as soon as possible, so as not to be discovered here and cause unnecessary trouble.

"Do you really want to help him?" Chengshan was still a little puzzled.

"I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'll have to think about it. Gongsun Yu looked at Shao Hui's injuries again, and it seemed that there was no major problem. "He shouldn't be back tonight, let's all go in and rest." ”

Early the next morning, Zhang Changzong ran in excitedly from outside.

"Your Majesty slept well last night, let me come and call you over, it looks like I'm going to reward you again!"

"Is there anything delicious?" Shao Hui felt that eating in his stomach was the most real.

"You glutton, get dressed and come with me. ”

After seeing Wu Zetian, she was really happy, because she slept well for two days in a row, her complexion slowly became ruddy, and just as Zhang Changzong expected, Wu Zetian rewarded the three of them with a lot of good things.

"Your Majesty, today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Xiaodao is preparing to return to the Xuanmiaoguan, worship the Book of Heaven, worship the Jade Emperor, and pray for His Majesty, I don't know if it's okay?" Gongsun Yu just found an excuse, otherwise they would have stayed in the palace and had no way to go out to survive.

"Your Majesty, Weichen also wants to go with you. Cheng Shan chimed in.

"Your Majesty, the little monk also wants to go with him. Shaohui is not far behind.

"You all went, who will protect me?" Wu Zetian was a little unhappy when he saw that the three of them were going to Xuanmiaoguan.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen has eliminated the evil, Your Majesty just sit back and relax. Gongsun Yu said very surely, and Wu Zetian was not easy to refute.

"Alright, you go and get back quickly. ”

"Yes!"

Chengshan thought to himself, Gongsun Yu really has a lot of ideas!

......

Out of Luoyang City, they kept walking west. I saw the bluestone mountain from afar, and the mystical view was built at the foot of the bluestone mountain, backed by the big mountain, facing Luoyang, and a few miles west from here, it was the mountain.

Legend has it that Lao Tzu had been alchemy in the mountain, there was a Shangqing Palace built on the mountain to worship Lao Tzu, and there was a Taoist temple near the Lu Zu'an and the Xia Qing Palace. Climb high and look far away, the victory of Yiluo Erchuan is in full view, in the evening, the lights of ten thousand homes in Luoyang City, like the stars in the sky, so "the evening view of the mountain" is called "the eight great views of Luoyang". The Xuanmiao Temple was built here, and it also wanted to get a dip in aura.

After entering the Taoist temple, Gongsun Yu met the believers and Taoists, made some arrangements, and then went back to the room to discuss the affairs of the evening with Chengshan.

"Do you want to take him at night?" Chengshan felt torn between two sides.

"No, I can't. Gongsun Yu shook his head.

"What about the white jade bracelet?" Cheng Shan thought to himself, without this magic weapon, it would be troublesome if he was hit by an attack.

"You take it, I'll leave the Tongjin Xuansi inkstone for him to defend himself. Gongsun Yu glanced at Shao Hui.

"Okay. Shao Hui took off the white jade bracelet from his wrist and handed it to Chengshan, and took Gongsun Yu's Tongjin Xuansi inkstone.

"Will this work?" Chengshan knew that although the Xuansi inkstone could clear distracting thoughts and travel through the past and the present, it was not suitable for self-defense.

"Then it depends on his fate. Later, Gongsun Yu taught Shao Hui how to use the Xuansi inkstone.

"You stay in my room, don't run around, if something happens, hit the Xuansi inkstone hard, we can hear your message. ”

"Okay, no problem, you can rest assured. Shao Hui suddenly felt a chill because he had returned the white jade bracelet to Chengshan and had lost the protective barrier.

"You must come back soon!"

"If you're sleepy, you go to bed and sleep for a while. Gongsun Yu instructed him a few more words, and asked the little Taoist priest to bring some food.

After the arrangements were made, Gongsun Yu and Chengshan went out of the Taoist temple. They didn't go far, and waited nearby for a while, hoping to see Yijie, but they couldn't see him left and right.

"What should I do? Do you have to continue to wait?" Chengshan and Gongsun Yu's bodies were already slightly glowing with blue light, and as the night became thicker, this blue light became clearer, easily attracting the attention of the Seven Love Beasts and the Six Qi Demons.

"Let's go, don't wait for him. Gongsun Yu whispered, and then flew into the depths of the mountain with Chengshan.

The mountains here are still covered in heavy snow and white. Chengshan and Gongsun Yu were very careful, they chose a flat and towering mountain top to land, and clutched the Zhigusheng Flower Pen and the Nebula Purple Flame Lantern in their hands, ready to meet the challenge.

Suddenly, they saw a blue point of light, which was slowly flying towards them, very slowly, and seemed to be struggling.

"He finally came, and I thought he was lying to us again. ”

"No, he will definitely not dare not come this time, he has reached the last moment!"
