Chapter 241: The Day of the First Battle
Three days later, the dawn of Chung Yeung Festival.
The sky was gray, and it should have been the scene of the rising sun, but it was like nightfall.
The sky changed from darkness to light, only later than usual. It was a gloomy day, with few dark clouds in the sky, but it happened to obscure the sun.
In a trance, there is also the starlight at night, which is brilliant in the sky.
Instead of disappearing into the daytime sky with the passage of time, the starlight appears brighter.
In the early morning, the people are still sleeping soundly, such a gloomy weather, there are few pedestrians on the road, there are almost no people who buy things, and the people who sell things can be lazy.
The comfort of the people was beautiful, but it was ordinary, and although they also had sorrows, they were very different from others in the capital.
The beggar boy Liu Dai stayed awake almost all night, he sat on the street all night, and when it was morning, he changed his clothes, no longer the dirty image he used to be, he looked in the direction of the palace, and said, "Finally, it's this day." ”
Jia Fu Jia Rang got up early, and the whole Jia Mansion woke up with it, everyone got up and was busy, but only a small group of people went out. It was a group of guards, guarding the two carriages in the middle. In the first carriage, Jia Rang rode alone, and in the back carriage, Jia Guangguang and Lan Junzhi rode together.
Today, the guards in Jiafu have been reduced by half, and many of them have been transferred back to the forbidden army where they were originally located, in such an environment, Jia Guangguang really doesn't feel at ease to let Lan Junzhi be alone in Jiafu. And Jia Guangguang, although he is not a courtier, as the son of the prime minister, is also qualified to participate in the Chongyang Festival in today's palace.
In the Guozheng Temple, the national master of Zongren also had to participate in such a grand event, he went forward alone, and the disciples in the temple stayed in place, and they were not qualified to enter the palace. Before setting off, Master Zongren made a divination for today's trip, but the result was unknown. Before leaving, he raised his eyes to look at the sky, immediately frowned, and said to himself: "Double Ninth Festival, but there is no yang, dark clouds are in charge, and the stars cover the sun, it seems that something is going to happen this time." ”
Although he said this, Master Zongren did not mean to retreat, and he walked forward alone with a Zen staff.
In the shadows of Kokushoji Temple, gluttonous warlocks set off from the trail, and the direction was the Imperial Palace.
Inside the gate of the capital, the place originally called the Fulu Inn, there is a secret room of the underground palace, where there is no ray of sunlight every day, only an old man lives, he is the guide of the beggar boy Liu Dai, but I don't know how many years he has been here. Today, he sorted himself out of the ordinary, and then left the underground palace.
In the private prison of Jiafu, Lin Xun went there once, and met an old man like a dead tree in the dark. In the dark, Lin Xun didn't see his face clearly, but it could be seen from the voice that he must be extremely old. At this time, he himself got out of the Jia prison and left the place in front of everyone, although the guards here saw him, but no one could move at the moment.
Rui Jingchen was still on the road at this time, on the way to the palace, today was three days after the gluttonous warlock had agreed with him. Thinking back to three days ago, he was so stupid that he fell for the gluttonous warlock's trick to divert the tiger from the mountain, and put the traces of the maple candle and the little wind in danger, which was his fault. Where he went today, he didn't want to be able to kill the gluttonous warlock for revenge, but only to be able to rescue the traces of Maple Candle and Xiaofeng, so that the matter of revenge could be discussed later.
In the corner room of the inn, Fang Hao and Angelica began to set off, and before they left, they also destroyed the defensive array that Fang Hao had laid here, making this place ordinary again.
With the two of them is Lin Xun, but Lin Xun is the lead, and the two of them are following behind, and when the time comes, they must find a suitable place to hide in the shadows and help Lin Xun.
This is the day of the first battle, and it is also the day of the many battles, and they are ready, if they live, they will meet again, if they die, they will know each other.
On the street in the early morning, there is a little drizzle, with morning fog, and there is no one, with a little mystery.
Some are still asleep, while a group of people are already on their way.
Lin Xun followed the words of the beggar boy, arrived at the location and crouched in Zongren Guoshi, and Fang Hao and Angelica also found a good position. Before leaving, Angelica's shield had been handed over to Lin Xun's hand, as well as Fang Hao, the desperate research in the past few days had also had a little effect, and he laid out one different formation after another on Lin Xun's body, waiting for it to be used.
Lin Xun is the main battle, and they manipulate the formation and shield to block in the back, which will not distract Lin Xun, he can just attack.
Everything is ready, waiting for the national teacher Zongren.
The first place where the beggar boy Liu Dai set out was Guozheng Temple, and he entered the room of Zongren through a unique passage, and then searched for something in the room.
Zongren's room was large, but Liu Dai seemed to be prepared, and he quickly found what he was looking for. It wasn't an object, it was more of a trap.
Urging the mechanism, a secret door appeared in the room, and there were many concave and convex patterns on the secret door, and Liu Dai pressed part of the pattern again to open the secret door.
It's pitch black inside, but when you go inside, you'll see a bright light, and it's a secret room underground, big and mysterious.
The passage leads directly to the secret room, there is no turning point, and Liu Dai can easily reach it.
There was a special lock on the outside of the door of the underground chamber, there was no key, only a small protruding opening.
This time, Liu Dai did not unlock the lock as he did just now, because its unlocking method was also extremely special.
Liu Dai took out the dagger, slit his fingers, and dripped blood into the small protruding mouth. Then, blood flowed into it, and the door instantly glowed with golden light, and the door opened little by little.
It was pitch black inside, with only a large black-red array lit in the center. And Liu Dai did not look for new light at this time.
He walked into the darkness, pressed a switch on the wall, and then visible to the naked eye, the black and red faint light, gradually disappeared.
At this time, Liu Dai also quickly retreated outside the gate, and then said inside: "Go, eight, you can find it." ”
Subsequently, Liu Dai quickly returned along the original road and left Guozheng Temple without stopping.
Lin Xun crouched in place for a long time, but still didn't see the target coming. At this time, the sky was still overcast and gloomy, no different from the usual cloudy sky, and the only vision was that the light of the stars was becoming more and more brilliant in the sky.
Even though it is in the capital, the fog here is getting heavier and heavier, which is abnormal, which can only be found in the forest.
In the mist, in the distance, there were gradually bursts of metallic sounds, slow but rhythmic.
The figure gradually emerged, accompanied by a sound. It was an old monk, dressed in a gorgeous robe.
