On the top of Dadong Mountain, the morning fog has been gone, the mountain wind is blowing strongly, the clouds are gradually broken, and the true face of the temple has appeared. Emperor Qingguo, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, stood quietly by the railing, waiting for Ye Liuyun's arrival. When the mountain was surrounded by five thousand longbowmen, especially among the rebels, there was a trace of the Dongyi City Nine Rank masters, His Majesty the Emperor of Qingguo, who had always been a last resort, seemed to have finally found that the situation began to be beyond his control for the first time, and a faint sorrow rose between the middle-aged man's eyebrows.

In the old temple community with black round eaves, a bell rang out, refreshing, moving, and calming people's minds, but it made the world restless. The edict used to worship the heavens was burned in the furnace, the green smoke curled, and the various sins of the prince that Emperor Qing had experienced seemed to have been sacrificed to the ethereal temple and the even more ethereal providence.

Sacrificing to the heavens, Emperor Qing's most important task has been completed, all he needs is to return to Kyoto with those unwarranted revelations from heaven, depose the crown prince, and then choose a pleasing successor.

However, a hat slowly crossed the line of the last stone step on the top of Dadong Mountain at this time, and naturally suddenly appeared in front of the Qingguo officials in front of the temple.

......

......

The emperor looked at that place calmly, at the ancient face under the hat, at the pair of clear and gentle eyes like autumn water, and said slowly:

"Uncle Liuyunshi, you're late. ”

Ye Liuyun stepped on the mountain step by step, no one could stop him, and he was silent for a long time to the temple at this time. All the officials on the top of the mountain, including the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and Ren Shao'an and others, all subconsciously bowed to the great master of Qingguo.

In front of Ye Liuyun. Only Emperor Qing was still standing upright as usual, while the old eunuch Hong beside him was standing on his side. But everyone knows that this old man is leaning over all the time. It seems that he is watching the ants on the ground walk, but it is not because he wants to pay tribute to Ye Liuyun at this time.

"How can it be said to be late?" Ye Liuyun looked at the emperor and sighed, his tone was full of indescribable helplessness and regret, "Your Majesty is going to sacrifice to the heavens. Could it be that you have the destiny of heaven?"

"The destiny of heaven is all in my body, I am not afraid of hardships and dangers, I have come all the way to Dadong Mountain, and naturally my wish has come true. The emperor said coldly.

Ye Liuyun lowered his head slightly, thought for a moment and said, "There is such a thing as the Mandate of Heaven." It's always hard to figure out. Although Your Majesty is very human, you still don't punish on behalf of Heaven. ”

The emperor looked indifferently at Ye Liuyun, who was more than ten zhang away, and said, "Uncle Shi came here today. Could it be that he is just admonishing, and does not mean to be angry on behalf of the heavens?"

Ye Liuyun smiled bitterly. The right arm is slowly raised. The cuffs faded slightly, revealing the right hand without a trace of dirt. The fingers are smooth and neat, definitely not like the limbs that an old man should have.

His right hand pointed to the pool of blood in front of the Qing Temple, and the sacrifices of the Qing Temple in the pool of blood.

"Your Majesty...... The one who is angry is yourself. Ye Liuyun said compassionately: "The sacrifice is the ascetic who serves the temple, even they know that Your Majesty's trip to sacrifice to the heavens is a chaotic life. If the king has a chaotic life, the ministers cannot accept it, nor can the rituals be accepted...... That's why you killed them. ”

Yes. The emperor's book of sacrificing the prince of heaven and earth is from the hand of the inner court. The chosen charges were nothing more than vague matters such as covetousness, indulgence, and misconduct, which the prince had manifested several years ago. It is completely different from the calm and filial prince now. The abolished princes of all dynasties have never had such a stupid will, and they sacrificed astronomy nonsense.

Dadongshan Qing Temple has a long history. Although it is not in Kyoto, several major sacrifices of Qingmiao are often cultivated here, but with the bizarre death of the great sacrificial place, the two sacrifices and the three stone masters were killed by arrows, and the Qingmiao was weakened by Emperor Qing's strength out of shape, and there are few remains. Therefore, all the way up the mountain gate, the sacrifices of the Dadong Mountain Qing Temple showed such humility and obedience.

However, when Emperor Qingguo officially began the process of sacrificing to heaven and abolishing the crown prince early this morning, there were still some sacrifices who bravely stood up and expressed their opposition fiercely, and sacredly pointed out that Qingmiao would never become a sharp blade in the hands of a faint monarch.

The imperial court's covert invasion of Qingmiao, the death of the two leaders of the sacrificial ground, made the sacrifices of the Qingmiao on Dadong Mountain feel infinite anger, and the arrival of the rebels under the mountain gave these people infinite courage.

So these sacrifices became a few dead bodies in front of the temple of the black eaves, and their courage turned into the blood of the stinking flies.

When someone dares to disobey the will of His Majesty the Emperor, he has always been not afraid to kill, even if it is a sacrifice on Dadong Mountain. The only people that Emperor Qing didn't dare to kill were those he couldn't kill for the time being—like Ye Liuyun.

The emperor calmly looked at Ye Liuyun on the side of the stone steps, and said, "Uncle Shi, you are not a stupid people, you naturally know that these sacrifices are just mortals, even if I kill them, what does it have to do with the will of heaven?"

Ye Liuyun frowned slightly, and said: "Even if the sacrifice is a mortal, but this temple is extraordinary, presumably Your Majesty should know better than me, when killing people at the main gate of the temple, blood flows into the steps, isn't Your Majesty worried about the wrath of the Heavenly Father?"

The emperor's face was indifferent, he put his hands behind his back, and said word by word after a while: "You and I live in the world, not the end of the sky, so in my life, I never respect ghosts and gods, only Uncle Shi." ”

Ye Liuyun was silent.

The Emperor turned to the side, quietly looked at the black eaves of the temple, and the old tiles on the eaves shone solemnly in the early morning sun, and said, "So I have invited an old man to come and meet Uncle Shi. ”

......

......

There are not many people in this world who are qualified to be called Ye Liuyun's old man by Emperor Qing, but there are only a few people in Liao Liao. So when the bell of the Qingmiao rang again, the wooden door of the side courtyard creaked open, a gust of mountain wind swept over the top of the mountain, and a piece of black cloth and five bamboos came out of the door......

Ye Liuyun just smiled, of course, there was a little more emotion and bitterness in the smile.

"It has been many years since I left Shanzhou, and I haven't heard the news of you for more than two years. He looked at Wuzhu and said kindly: "I thought you had gone back, but I didn't expect you to be on Dadong Mountain." ”

In the summer of two years ago, the Northern Qi National Master Kuhe was injured in a secret duel, and Ye Liuyun, as one of the four great grandmasters, could naturally guess that it was Wuzhu who did it, so it has been more than two years since he heard this unheard of the king.

And Ye Liuyun's sentence "I thought you had gone back" was hidden too much, but except for him and Wuzhu in this world, no one may be able to understand the conversation under the cliff in Shanzhou back then, Fan Xian was far away on the cliff and didn't hear it at all.

Wuzhu was as clean as usual, and after saying two words, he stood at the door of the small courtyard, without moving another step to the field, facing Ye Liuyun from afar, but the distance from the emperor was closer.

The two words he said were, "Hello." ”

The two words hello made Ye Liuyun even more shocked and moved than when he saw him come out of the courtyard before, and he couldn't help but laugh with relief, and the laughter was very sincere.

Then the laughter stopped abruptly, Ye Liuyun turned to face His Majesty the Emperor, bowed slightly, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty's clever calculation, no wonder there will be a trip to sacrifice to the heavens in Dadong Mountain, even this monster has been dug up by you, I just don't want to admire it." ”

When the emperor heard this, he didn't have the slightest change in his expression, but the corners of his eyebrows trembled twice that was extremely imperceptible, yes, sacrificing the sky was originally a game against Ye Liuyun, and when Wuzhu was about to stand up, Ye Liuyun did not react when he fell into the game.

This kind of thing, it has always been you and me, and the emperor's eyes were hidden with a trace of worry, presumably because he knew that the big incident that he and Fan Xian had guessed was finally going to become a reality.

The emperor glanced at the old eunuch Hong beside him, his eyes were calm, but there were many meanings, as if he was asking, why didn't he make a move right away? With the realm of the Great Grandmaster, even if it was two against one, if he couldn't seize the previous moment, Ye Liuyun's heart was loosened because of the mysterious appearance of Wuzhu, and if he wanted to snipe Ye Liuyun on the mountain, it would still become an extremely difficult task to complete.

Old Eunuch Hong didn't pay attention to His Majesty the Emperor's gaze at this time, his eyes stared at the front with unusually hot eyes, passing through Ye Liuyun's shoulders and shooting straight into the mountains and forests below the stone steps.

He took half a step forward, stood in front of the Emperor, and then slowly straightened up.

It seems that Gonggong Hong, who has been bent all his life, suddenly straightened up, and it was such a simple change in action, and an indescribable momentum began to surgingly fill his body, emanating majestically towards the top of the mountain......

Obviously, everyone knew that Gonggong Hong's body had not become bigger, but everyone had an illusion at this moment, it seemed that Gonggong Hong had become an invincible god, and his body exuded a dazzling light, completely covering Emperor Qing behind him.

The intensity of this true qi was even faintly beyond the limit of what a mortal body could contain.

Domineering to the extreme.

......

......

This is the first poem that Fan Xian copied in Kyoto, and regardless of whether the big characters of the river are appropriate or not, this poem has been praised in this world.

People who are fortunate or unfortunate to be on Dadong Mountain on this day, at this moment, are all associated with the first half of this poem.

Because they felt a sword aura rising to the sky, raging in the mountains and forests below the stone steps, even the distant mountain tops were invaded by this extremely fierce sword qi, and the green trees began to shed their leaves for no reason, and the fallen leaves became green piles.

Ye Liuyun looked at Gonggong Hong and said, "Qingben is a beautiful woman, why should I be a slave?"

Gonggong Hong's silver-white hair fluttered in the wind, and he said in a hoarse voice: "The great masters are all slaves, I am Your Majesty's slave, and you ...... It's just a slave in this world, what's the difference?"
