On the high pulpit, a high priest was reciting prayers with all his might, wishing the empire to come, being auspicious in distress, cursing the traitors not to die well, earning a red face and a thick neck, but the audience did not react, just looked at the door from time to time.

The high priest also felt bored, and hastily ended the ceremony and announced the release of porridge.

The audience cheered, took their bowls, and rushed to the door, nearly knocking down the servant carrying the porridge. The scene was spectacular, the momentum was huge, and the atmosphere was far warmer than just now.

Wuji stood in the crowd, watching the people with dishes squeezing past him, shook his head, and exited the main hall.

The old man beside him only felt a flower in front of him, stared at the faint old eyes, looked around, and couldn't find the young man who was still standing here just now, even the two teenagers beside him were gone. He felt a little strange, but his attention was quickly attracted by the aroma of porridge, holding the broken bowl and squeezing towards the porridge bucket, unable to remember the scene just now.

Wuji stood outside the temple, looking at the temple servants who were busy and sweating.

"Ziyue, Ying Yiran gave me a silver medal back then, I took the silver medal to the Crouching Tiger Town Temple, in fact, I didn't dare to think about any priest, as long as I could be a temple servant, I felt very satisfied. It's a pity that such a request was not realized, and was destroyed by Yin Xuan and Ling Hu Minzhi. ”

Lin Ziyue said with a smile: "Now Yin Xuan must regret it, if he is asked to choose again, he may recommend you to be the high priest of the Crouching Tiger Town Temple." ”

Mowgli also smiled. "Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world. ”

"It's better not to regret it. Ying Yiran said: "If the Yin family wins the world, it may not be better than now." It's just to replace the Ying family with the Yin family. What should come will come. ”

Mowgli looks at Ying as well. Along the way, Ying Yiran's attitude has changed a lot, like this. She couldn't say it before. Maintaining the face of the royal family is almost her innate instinct, and no one can say that the court is wrong. Now being able to compare the Yin family with the Ying family is already a big progress.

It's just not enough.

The three of them left the temple on the outskirts of the city and headed for the imperial palace in the center of Xianyang City, just as Wuji had first come to Xianyang that year.

After entering Gyeonggi, there were hardly any displaced people. Many people prefer to wait for the relief of porridge. They are also unwilling to leave their hometowns and leave the capital where they have lived all their lives, although they have no status in this capital at all.

Mowgli came to the old house of the Jing family. I thought I would see the old man. Unexpectedly, it was General Tie who guarded the door. Wuji was very surprised, this house has been given to the flower girl who can dance the spring dance, why is she not here, has she also fled?

Mowgli asked the neighbors. The neighbor thought for a long time. I don't know where Hua Rongyue went. They only know that Hua Langyue hasn't shown up for a while. Mowgli is helpless. I had to come to Pin Yuxuan, and when I inquired, I learned that Hua Langyue was invited away by Linghu Minzhi.

Wuji and Ying Yiran exchanged a look, and they both saw some uneasiness in each other's eyes. Wuji's ability to defeat Bai Fengbing, and Bai Fengbing's ability to enter the Tao, have a lot to do with the Spring Dance. Linghu Minzhi robbed Hua Rongyue, will it have anything to do with this matter?

According to the time calculation, it seems that it was not long after he returned from the Phoenix Dance Legion.

......

Late at night. Wuji once again stood in front of the Heavenly Academy.

The front of the Heavenly Academy was deserted, and there was not even a single figure. Look up. The sky in front of him was pitch black, and the Heavenly Book Pagoda that had been erected there had long since disappeared. Although Wuji was in the tower when it was crushed by Yin Jiao's palm, it was the first time he had seen this scene with his own eyes.

At that time, he was only concerned about escaping, and he didn't even have time to turn back, nor did he have a chance to take a look at the Heavenly Academy without the Heavenly Book Tower.

Wuji's figure flickered, and the person had already entered the Heavenly Academy and stood in front of the small courtyard where he once lived.

The Heavenly Academy was still empty, with only old trees left. There are no people, no towers, not even a lonely tower to be seen.

"I didn't expect the Heavenly Academy to be abandoned like this. ”

"Without the Heavenly Book Tower, without the Heavenly Book, and without the Great Teacher, isn't the Heavenly Academy just an ordinary courtyard. Ying Yiran said sadly: "Wuji, do we still have a chance to see the Heavenly Book Tower, see the Heavenly Academy?"

"Now it's there. Lin Ziyue was very relaxed. She probably remembered the good times when she was hanging out in the Heavenly Academy with a bowl of Guiyuan Dan in her hand, her eyes were shining and her spirit was flying. "Zifu Mountain is building a tower, the great master is standing by your side, and the Book of Heaven is hidden in his mind, and there is no shortage of anything. ”

Ying Yiran couldn't help but laugh. "It's still Ziyue who can see it, it's really like this, and there is no shortage of the same. ”

Mowgli smiled, but did not speak. He was not as optimistic as them, and in his opinion, although the crisis of the Great Qin Empire was serious, it was not the most serious. Although the Tianshu Pagoda in Zifu Mountain is under construction, it is not the same as the Tianshu Pagoda of the Heavenly Academy, and it is still unknown whether it can be completed.

"Let's go. Mowgli greeted and floated out of the yard. Ying Yiran and Lin Ziyue followed closely, and the Heavenly Academy returned to silence.

In the middle of the courtyard, the original location of the Tianshu Tower, there was a "quack" sound, a crack appeared, and a pale yellow light came out, Du Yu held a lamp, walked out quickly, looked around, but saw nothing.

"Du Yu, who is it?" Linghu Minzhi's voice came from underground.

"Just now I seemed to hear Mowgli's voice. Du Yuhu said suspiciously: "But there is no one in the courtyard, and the door is closed well." ”

Linghu Minzhi walked out of it, looked around, and laughed. "Do you still think that he is the former Mowgli, he comes and goes freely, and he walks in the air, so he won't open the door. Du Yu, look at this book of heaven, is it a little similar to your Heavenly Recipe?"

......

The three of them sat on the roof of Afang Palace, looking down on the entire palace, but they couldn't see Xianyang City. Their view was blocked by the high palace walls.

The palace was quiet, the lights were bright, and the soldiers stood solemnly at their posts, guarding the palace and the Son of Heaven in the palace.

After the collapse of the Tianshu Tower, Afang Palace was the tallest building in the imperial city.

In the palace. One figure was stretched long by the light, apparently very thin, and even somewhat withered. Like an overwhelmed bamboo, bent over.

"Someone's life is not good. Lin Ziyue dangled her legs and threw the snacks she had just bought from the street into her mouth.

"He's probably the most uncomfortable person in the entire Xianyang City. Ying also said.

Wuji nodded, agreeing with Ying Yiran's opinion. "If you're hungry, go to the natural dwelling. ”

In an instant, the three of them disappeared into the night.

Ying Dangdang in the palace was suddenly stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at the roof of the main hall of Afang Palace. There was nothing there, only a bright purple moon. Ying dared to be stunned. He had never paid attention to it, it turned out that Xianyang could also see such a beautiful moonlight.

......

The three of them came to the natural residence.

The natural house is very lively. The square in front of the gate was full of splendid carriages and horses, and everywhere there were servants in splendid brocade clothes. Reserved or presumptuous guests came in and out, some were ushered into private rooms, and some were helped into the car. quietly changing roles between drunk and awake.

The three of them entered the door. Naturally, I came to the private room that I used to come to. As soon as he entered the door, he exchanged a look with Lin Ziyue.

The layout of the private room has not changed, but the furnishings are completely different, and there is no trace of familiarity.

"Do you still want to eat it? ”

"Sit down, even if you don't eat, it's good to look at people. Ying Yiran sat down, gently opened the window, and looked out. "I saw Li Ze just now. There are also Xie Guanglong and Bai Ze. The three national teachers gathered here, maybe there is a drama to watch. ”

Mowgli is indispensable. I sat down and ordered a few dishes. The waiter looked at the three strange guests in bewilderment and withdrew. After a short time, he brought food and drink, and closed the door. Standing outside the door, he shook his head, and busily greeted other people's guests.

Lin Ziyue poured three glasses of wine, took a sip, first shook her head and sighed, then tasted a bite of the dish, her head shook faster and faster, and finally grabbed a handful of nuts, snorted slowly, and never ate a chopstick dish or a sip of wine.

Ying Yiran sat by the window, never moving, but her eyes flickered from time to time.

Mowgli picked up a glass of wine and drank it slowly. It doesn't matter to him whether the wine is good or bad. He didn't go to the window either, for with his ears he could hear the voices of everyone in the room, whether they were talking loudly or in a whisper.

He knew why Ying Yiran was silent.

The national teachers of the Seven Academies, except for Bai Fengbing, the national teachers of the Tianrong Academy, the national teachers of the Six Academies have all arrived. Ying Ziqing was present, but he was not the core figure, the core figure was Li Ze, the national teacher of the Tiance Academy.

They were talking about Linghu Toshiyuki's suggestion. Li Ze didn't say much, but a few disapproving sneers already explained his attitude. Ying Ziqing had been drinking, barely speaking, just a few sighs, which suddenly made Wuji have a sense of déjà vu.

Wuji suddenly asked: "Does Ying Ziqing have the blood of the Meng family?"

Ying was stunned and nodded. According to the generation, he and Meng Zili and Meng Ziwei are cousins. ”

"Then he has more Montessori blood, or more Ying's blood. ”

Ying Yiran thought about it carefully and shook his head. "It's not clear. The thousand-year-old marriage between Montessori and Ying's is difficult to distinguish, and even in my body, I'm afraid there is a lot of Montessori blood. ”

"In that case, Ying Ziqing may be surnamed Meng. Mowgli laughed. "For a moment, I almost thought I was sitting there on my own. ”

Ying Yiran frowned. After a moment, she smiled wryly, "Maybe." In this way, the generosity of the Meng family is understandable. ”

"I don't understand. Does the Meng family think that he can also master the Heavenly Academy?"

"Maybe it has something to do with Linghu Minzhi. Lin Ziyue said suddenly: "Didn't the people of Pin Yuxuan say that Hua Rongyue was invited away by Ling Hu Minzhi, who is a close confidant of Ying Ziqing, and often goes in and out of the Meng family. Bai Fengbing said that he once went to the Fengwu Legion as an envoy of the Meng family to negotiate an alliance with her. ”

Wuji chuckled: "It's Linghu Minzhi again." This guy looks like he's behind it, so everything has to do with him. ”

Ying Yiran suddenly stood up. "Go to Meng's house and have a look. ”

......

Standing on the watchtower in the backyard of the Meng family, Wuji and Ying Yiran exchanged a look.

No wonder the Heavenly Academy was empty, and there was not a single lonely tower. It turned out that they were all dismantled home. There are seven complete lonely towers in the backyard of the Meng family. These seven lonely towers are arranged in the Big Dipper, which is very similar to the layout of the Seven Courtyards of the Empire, but on a smaller scale. It should be that the position of the palace is vacant, which seems a little weird, but Wuji can see that that position should be the place where Meng Zili often stands.

I don't know who arranged it this way, and I don't know if they did it intentionally or unintentionally.

It seems that the people who want to be emperors are not only the Yin family, but the Meng family is not willing to be lonely.

"Seven lonely towers, seven masters, this is probably the confidence of the Meng family. If one or two Dao realm masters can appear, plus the two major legions controlled by the Meng family, who else in the world can be their opponents. ”

Lin Ziyue asked, "If the Meng family sits in the world, who will be the great master of the Heavenly Academy?"

"Naturally, he is the designer of these seven lonely towers, that is, the initiator who invited Hua Langyue to Meng's house. ”

Lin Ziyue smiled. "Linghu Minzhi, this guy is really hiding deep enough. first followed Yin Xuan, and then he was close to you, and now he is still stepping on two boats, openly supporting the Son of Heaven and secretly supporting the Meng family, wanting to eat both. ”

Ying Yiran said hatefully: "Kill! This kind of thing at both ends of the first rat is the most hateful." ”

Wuji glanced at her and smiled without saying a word. Ying Yiran glanced at him: "What, am I not right?"

"No, right? However, Ling Hu Minzhi is at both ends of the rat, he just wants to be a great teacher, compared to those who want to be emperors, he is not so hateful. You didn't want to kill the Meng family, you first thought about killing Ling Hu Minzhi, is it because Ling Hu Minzhi's realm is not high, and the strength of the Ling Hu family is average, so it's easy to bully?"

Ying was also stunned, and didn't know how to refute it for a while.

"Although I also think that Linghu Minzhi's suggestion is a bit risky, compared to the suggestion of Li Ze and others, he is at least for the sake of the imperial court. If someone can trust him, and then envelop the Meng family, there may not be no chance to set things right. ”

Ying Yiran said curiously: "Do you think his suggestion has a chance to succeed?"

"Linghu Minzhi is a person who never does things that he is not sure of. Mowgli pointed to the seven lonely towers. This may be his confidence, but he doesn't want to show it easily. ”

Lin Ziyue's eyes rolled: "Why don't we try his confidence?"

Wuji and Yingyi exchanged a look and nodded in unison. Wuji stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Ying Yiran's waist, jumped up, and soared into the sky. Lin Ziyue also jumped up, laughed a long time, and then disappeared into the night sky.

In an instant, the Meng family was suddenly shrouded in a murderous aura. Almost at the same time, the tops of the seven lonely towers were lifted, and seven figures jumped out of the towers, divided into different positions, waiting for the enemy.

"Seven Killing Arrays!" In the void, Wuji said softly-

(To be continued......)
