After the four outer cities, the inner eight squares, and the imperial city, it is the most core palace city, that is, the imperial palace in the traditional sense.

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, His Majesty the Emperor gave a banquet in the palace, the end of the year officially began, and the Zizheng ended preliminarily, and the time was very short, only half an hour.

Using the Western timekeeping method, that is, starting at 23 o'clock and ending at 24 o'clock, there is only one hour, which is very backward in time, and the reason for this arrangement is that the ministers can have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with their families and then come to the palace for a banquet without delay.

Xie Linyuan, a cabinet scholar, came in a hurry, almost being late, but he was not late after all.

After the "proprietor" was banished by Qi Niang, the "inn" was completely defeated, and the "cook" alone could not stop Qi Niang's two three corpse incarnations, there was no way, the "shopkeeper" could only choose to support the "cook", so Xie Linyuan could still rush back to the imperial capital to participate in this banquet of His Majesty the Emperor.

At this time, it happened to be Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu who met King Liao.

Before the banquet began, there were also complicated prayer ceremonies in the palace, so Li Ruoshui, the real person in charge of the Dijing Provincial Mansion, and Shi Bingyun, the second deputy mansion master, still had to come over first and participate in the blessing.

The Daomen prayer is divided into six levels, the highest is the Putian Dajiao, which is presided over by the emperor himself and enshrines 3,600 Jiao seats. The second is the Zhou Tian Jiao, which enshrines 2,400 Jiao seats. Again, it is Luo Tian Dajiao, which enshrines 1,200 Jiao seats. Then there is the Golden Jiao, the Jade Jiao, and the Yellow Jiao.

This blessing is the scale of Luo Tian Dajiao, but in line with the general trend of Daomen innovation, the time has been shortened as early as the Xuansheng era, not as long as seven seven forty-nine days, only seven hours. The original theory of the god position, because of the Gu Immortals, was changed to the Jiao position and the star position, and the gods were no longer emphasized, and it was summarized as "all the spirits". This makes the whole ceremony more like worshipping ancestors or worshipping the heavens, rather than praying to gods and Buddhas.

The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong.

This time, Luo Tian Dajiao was personally sacrificed by Jiang Hedao, the great real person of Pingzhang, and Li Ruoshui and Shi Bingyun served as the left and right assistant sacrifices. Fourteen hours, from early morning until midnight.

The dignified and ordinary people came to the imperial capital thousands of miles away, and there must be a reason.

Then there is the banquet and the fireworks display after the child.

As Qin Quanxiao, the king of Liao, said, the fireworks in the imperial capital have long been prepared.

I just don't know who today's fireworks are for.

Jiang Hedao, the real person of Pingzhang, did not attend the banquet, but went to the Taiping Temple. It is the Taiping Temple located on the former site of the former celebrant supervisor, as the name suggests, and has a great relationship with Taiping Road. If the national teacher comes to the imperial capital, he will stay here and sit down with His Majesty the emperor.

On weekdays, the Taiping Temple is in charge of a special Taiping Dao disciple, and idlers are not allowed to enter, but of course Pingzhang Dazhen is not an idler, regardless of his position, he is a naïve Taoist priest with the national teacher, and naturally no one will stop this Dazhen.

Speaking of which, the national teacher has not entered Beijing for several years, and the last time the Taiping Temple was opened, it was still a Qingwei real person who entered Beijing. It's just that Qingwei Zhenren has been very low-key in the past year, but Donghua Zhenren has been in the limelight.

Jiang Hedao didn't have to come to the banquet, but Li Ruoshui and Shi Bingyun had to come, both of them were familiar faces at this kind of banquet, especially Shi Bingyun, who was an old acquaintance with many royal relatives and had a good relationship, and Qin Quanyi, the king of Jin, was also well-known for his good popularity, and many young juniors who were a little more out of character almost called their aunts in person.

The banquet was arranged in the Mukden Temple.

Little by little, time passed.

When the hands of the Western table clock finally pointed straight up, a bell rang outside.

Then there was a slam of shock.

It seems to move.

After all, there is still a distance between the Imperial City and the Five Elements Mountain, so the mountain will not shake, but it feels that the tables and chairs shook in an instant, and the wine in the cup rippled a little bit.

In an instant, the huge Fengtian Temple became silent.

Informed silence.

Uninformed and uninformed.

Xie Linyuan's hand shook slightly, spilling a little wine.

Is this done?

This is done, of course, not the "heart."

The ape was made, but the "centering ape" was made.

Many people wanted to peek at His Majesty's expression, but found that His Majesty had already gotten up and left.

Many people looked out to see if there were any visions, such as the purple qi coming from the east.

It's a pity that there is no special vision tonight except for the stars being brighter.

Since it is already the right time, and His Majesty the Emperor has already left the table, this is the end of today's banquet.

Shi Bingyun stood up and looked at Li Ruoshui beside him: "Dao Ancestor bless, safe and sound, it's another peaceful year."

Li Ruoshui was expressionless and did not speak.

Shi Bingyun said again, "What, Mansion Master Li is not happy?"

Li Ruoshui barely squeezed out a smile at this time: "It seems that the Luo Tian Dajiao hosted by the real person himself is not ordinary, and it will start to play a role now."

The corners of Shi Bingyun's mouth curled slightly, and she walked towards Qin Quanyi, who was waiting for her not far away, and then the two of them went out together.

The long-awaited fireworks show begins.

The royal fireworks are different, they are designed with various patterns, and the word "big" is highlighted, coupled with the fireworks set off by ordinary people, making the sky above the entire imperial capital "almost a foot of pure land", as if it has become a brilliant sea of smoke and flames.

Qin Quanyi and Shi Bingyun stood on the Sumeru seat of the Fengtian Temple, looking out against the railing, not looking at the fireworks in the sky, but looking in the direction of the Five Elements Mountain.

Compared with the slight shock of the imperial capital, the Five Elements Mountain is shaking the earth.

Even if the "Heart Ape" is in the most vulnerable moment, it is also an existence comparable to that of an immortal, even if the Purple Light True Monarch descends to the world, after all, it is not the true body that has descended, and if you want to destroy the "Heart Ape", you have to use the violent earth qi of the Five Elements Mountain.

It is of course feasible to annihilate the "heart ape" with the earth's qi, and it is much simpler to borrow the earth's qi than to suppress the earth's qi, because the earth's qi in the Marble Mountains is restless, borrowing the earth's qi is to push the boat down the river, and suppressing the earth's qi is to sail against the current.

It is impossible for the ancestor of Xuanhui Yuan to suppress both the earth qi and deal with the purple light true monarch, so he will fall into the situation of being attacked by the earth qi and the purple light true monarch on both sides, and it is likely to be involved in the whirlpool of the earth qi of the Five Elements Mountain, so the old ancestor of the Xuanhui Yuan directly gave up suppressing the earth qi.

The earth's qi was like boiling water, and the Purple Light True Monarch added a fire to the boat along the water.

Although the "Heart Ape" is powerful, it has not yet formed a mind. After all, a person who cultivates his mind is different from a person who cultivates his strength, his supernatural powers are all in the word "heart", his body is not tough, and he has no consciousness to resist the earth's qi, and he will soon dissolve in the increasingly turbulent earth's qi.

The aftermath of the death of the "Heart Ape" has once again exacerbated the loss of control of the earth's qi.

The earth's qi is like a river, and the earth's leylines are like a river. If the river is so strong that it overflows the embankment, it will cause flooding. If the earth is turbulent, the ground will be moved.

As a result, the huge Five Elements Mountain trembled, the mountain collapsed and cracked, the mountain collapsed and cracked, and the rocks fell like rain. Fortunately, the Divine Forbidden Army had already blocked the Five Elements Mountain, and there was no one else waiting at this time.

The first to bear the brunt is the cave inside the Five Elements Mountain.

The formation is based on the earth's qi, and when the earth's qi goes out of control, the formation also begins to disintegrate.

In other words, the entire small cave began to crumble.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, the ancestor of Xuanhui Academy grabbed Qin Quanxiao, the king of Liao, and left this place directly.

However, at this time, the divine power given by the Daomen is about to be exhausted - a lesson from the past, Ziguang Zhenjun once infiltrated Yujing, plotted against him, and even almost mastered the Dazhen Mansion, Daomen did not dare to take precautions, so the divine power given by Daomen was just right, enough for Ziguang Zhenjun to destroy the "Heart Ape", and not so that Ziguang Zhenjun still had the strength to do some "private affairs".

"It's such a good container, and I'm a little reluctant to do it." Purple Light True Monarch muttered to himself, "It's a pity, it's a pity."

There is a stargazing tower in the Taiping Temple, and at this time, Jiang Hedao, the real person of Pingzhang, is standing on the stargazing tower, with his hands behind his back, his eyes through the smoke and mist, and looking at the Five Elements Mountain.

Generally speaking, the great real man does not like to oppress others with his gaze, unless he wants to remind others, such as at this time. Jiang Hedao's substantial gaze passed through the mountains of the Five Elements Mountain, through many obstacles,

Fell on the body of the Purple Light True Monarch.

Of course, his gaze couldn't look at the Purple Light True Monarch, he just reminded the Purple Light True Monarch - I'm looking at you.

Before the destruction of the "Heart Ape", Jiang Hedao was mainly on the side of the imperial court, and after the destruction of the "Heart Ape", Jiang Hedao no longer guarded against the imperial court, but ensured that the Purple Light True Monarch fulfilled the agreement.

Under Jiang Hedao's gaze, countless liuhua emerged from Qi Xuansu's body, breaking away from Qi Xuansu's body, passing through the mountains of the Five Elements Mountain, and rushing towards the unfathomable divine kingdom in the night sky.

Jiang Hedao then retracted his gaze.

At this time, there was no prohibition on the Five Elements Mountain, and there was freedom to enter and exit.

Lin Yuanmiao and Zhou Jiaoxian appeared here one after the other.

Zhou Jiaoxian didn't recognize Lin Yuanmiao, but there were too many non-Taoist people tonight, and seeing that Zhang Yuelu seemed to recognize Lin Yuanmiao, he didn't care, he just thought he was a master of the Qingping Society or the Purple Light Society.

At this time, the cave is broken, and the situation inside has become complicated, it is no longer a smooth road, this is the deepest part of the entire cave sky, the road is blocked and long, don't look at the ancestor of Xuanhui Academy with Qin Quanxiao to come and go freely, relying only on Zhang Yuelu alone, he may not be able to leave this place smoothly with the unconscious Qi Xuansu.

Although Lin Yuanmiao is a cultivator of the immeasurable stage, he has the background of immortals, and in the face of this situation, he did not panic, and directly picked up Qi Xuansu, and motioned for Zhang Yuelu to follow him out of this place.

Originally, the arrangement of the Daomen was that Zhou Jiaoxian was responsible for the final cleaning up, rescuing Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, and ensuring that the "Heart Ape" died. It's just that I don't know if the Purple Light True Monarch deliberately used too much force, or if the Purple Light True Monarch had other plans, the extent and speed of the cave collapse far exceeded the Daomen's expectations, if Zhou Jiaoxian chose to save people, it would be difficult to make the final confirmation.

At this time, Lin Yuanmiao took Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu away, which made Zhou Jiaoxian breathe a sigh of relief, no longer embarrassed, threw a talisman that had been prepared long ago into the billowing qi, and took out a compass and aimed it at the original location of the "Heart Ape".

On the other side, Qi Niang and Wu Guangbi also entered the Five Elements Mountain.

Qi Niang took over from Ziguang Zhenjun and grabbed Yao Pei in her hands, like carrying a kitten.

Wu Guangbi didn't dare to be so presumptuous, the key was that Li Changge was the only one intact among the young people, and he moved freely, so he just stood beside Li Changge.

Li Changge put his hands behind his back, holding the "human world" that had turned back into a three-foot-long "world", and glanced at Qi Niang deeply.

Qi Niang glared back at Li Changge unceremoniously, as if to say, look at what to see, and then look at picking out your eyeballs.

There is no doubt that Qi Niang can do this kind of thing.

"Li Gongzi, let's go." Wu Guangbi stepped forward without a trace and blocked in front of Li Changge.

Li Changge nodded, and arched his hand towards Qi Niang: "Senior Yao, there will be a period later."
