The banquet at the palace dispersed early, but outside the palace it was not, and there were still many people waiting to watch the fireworks.

At New Year's Day, the fireworks in the capital will be particularly bright, even though the night management in the capital has been relatively strict recently.

When Yan Shouyun finished eating everything, he felt that he was already very familiar with the little mink.

The little mink next to him was obviously not afraid of people, after all, when he just handed over something, the little guy could naturally take it.

But it's not difficult to figure it out, after all, it's a mink raised by a storyteller, and it should have been used to having a lot of people.

The sky has been obscured by the clouds, and Yan Shouyun also patted his ass and stood up.

"I'm going to have to find a place to stay, it looks like it's going to rain tonight."

Yan Shouyun said this, looking at all parts of the city.

"Squeak~~"

The mink's voice attracted Yan Shouyun's attention, he looked at his feet, but saw the little mink rush out at once.

"Hey, run away after eating, it's really unjust!"

The mink ran to the other corner of the roof of the restaurant, turned his head and shouted at Yan Shouyun again.

"Squeak~~"

"Huh?"

Yan Shouyun looked for a sound, but saw the little mink standing there looking at him.

Is it for me to come along?

"Uh, let me pass?"

"Squeak~"

Mink screamed again, and then rushed into the air, this action startled Yan Shouyun, but Mink did not fall, but fell on the relatively low roof opposite.

This distance, to say the least, has to be three zhang wide, and Yan Shouyun was stunned for a moment.

Is a mink an animal that can jump so far? Can't be a cat, right?

"Squeak~~~"

The mink over there screamed again, looking at Yan Shouyun from the roof opposite.

It seems that he is really calling me over, this mink is so spiritual?

Yan Shouyun thought about it for a while and decided to follow up to take a look, although his light skills were not as good as the real masters of the rivers and lakes, but his foundation was quite passable.

After running on the roof for a while, Yan Shouyun also jumped up, and then fell gently into a parabola on the opposite roof, and at this time, the little mink had already jumped out again.

"Squeak~"

Mink'er's voice came, Yan Shouyun did not hesitate, and hurriedly followed.

A mink ran ahead, and Yan Shouyun chased behind, and gradually the sense of consternation in his heart became stronger, he had such a big step, since he couldn't catch up with a mink.

passed by the roof of a block in a row, and then fell directly from the roof, Ash Mian just ran, Yan Shouyun just chased.

This will not need to turn back and call, anyway, the people behind will definitely follow.

I ran for a long time like this, until I reached the location of the City God Temple in the capital, and Yan Shouyun behind was already out of breath.

"Ho, ho, ho, what are you bringing me here for?"

Yan Shouyun said as he looked up at the City God Temple, although it was not early, but the gate of the City God Temple was open, not to mention the bright lights, but the ever-bright lights inside still illuminated a lot of places.

"Squeak~~"

Mink ran directly to the City God Temple, and Yan Shouyun hesitated and followed.

Because there are generally no people in the capital at night recently, although the door of this City God Temple is open, it is also very deserted inside, and it is impossible to have any pilgrims.

Yan Shouyun just looked around the City God Temple, some of the halls were closed, and the ever-bright lights inside made people feel very warm.

"Could it be that this mink is asking me to spend the night in the City God Temple?"

Yan Shouyun muttered like this, looked around again, but found that the mink that had been running with him just now was gone.

looked left and right, and looked around, but Yan Shouyun didn't find the mink.

Good guy, after taking me over, he ran away, it really meant that I was going to spend the night, this mink is so human!

Yan Shouyun looked up and looked around, but it was worthy of the capital, the City God Temple was so big, just now he looked for the mink to walk around, and the surroundings could be described as wide and atmospheric.

Yan Shouyun had never been to the City God Temple in the capital, because he had just come to the capital and was arrested and imprisoned in the Yamen of Chengtian Mansion.

After eating so many things and drinking a pot of wine before, and running such a long distance, it will be quiet, and I will suddenly be a little tired.

That's it, the mink has a good intention, the city god temple has a roof and a wall, it is better than sleeping on the street, it is good to sleep here for one night.

Thinking like this, Yan Shouyun looked up at the main hall over there, since he wants to sleep, he will sleep in the main hall, and the temple will come early tomorrow morning, so as not to miss the Fa Appreciation Conference!

Hey!

Thinking so, Yan Shouyun smiled and walked to the hall over there, looking up at the top, the three words "City God Palace" on the plaque were very atmospheric, and the whole hall was even more magnificent.

It is worthy of the capital, Yan Shouyun sighed in his heart again, the main hall of the City God's Temple in an ordinary big city, several of them can't stand up to this big one.

"Squeak"

Pushing open the heavy door, Yan Shouyun glanced at the location of the image and arched his hand inside.

"Take shelter for one night, don't be surprised!"

After saying this, Yan Shouyun walked inside quickly, looked at the kneeling mat in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart again, it is worthy of the capital, and the kneeling mats of the City God Temple are so magnificent.

These kneeling pads must be an arm's width and a person's length, just right!

Yan Shouyun directly pulled a kneeling mat on the side, dragged it behind the statue, and then the whole person lay up, soft and comfortable.

"Hey, the inn isn't so comfortable! It's not safe, what demons and monsters dare to make a mistake here, hey! ”

While muttering to himself, a sense of sleepiness came up, and Yan Shouyun slowly closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

But just after Yan Shouyun fell asleep, his surroundings seemed to change silently.

First of all, some of the streets outside have disappeared, and the square in front of the temple seems to have become more empty, and even the terrain of the temple seems to be much higher, and the walls are gradually fading.

In the haze, the statue blocking Yan Shouyun seemed to dissipate and became a huge piece of silk brocade, and some subtleties in the hall were also revealed, and there were more bells and other utensils.

Outside the main hall, the huge plaque that reads "City God Temple" has also changed, from three words to two words, and the momentum is more magnificent.

It is the word "Taimiao".

Originally, there seemed to be no one when Yan Shouyun came, but the scenery gradually changed, and some forbidden troops on duty appeared on the periphery.

It's just that it is obvious that Yan Shouyun didn't see the forbidden army, and these forbidden troops on duty didn't see Yan Shouyun either.

——

Time passed slowly, and the hustle and bustle of the night's fireworks was completely gone.

Before dawn, a large number of footsteps were approaching.

"Click"

The footsteps were heavy and neat, and the people who made these footsteps were all spears in their hands, and they were the forbidden troops of the brigade.

Some blades are actually no longer suitable for today's era, but today they are all held by the forbidden army, which can be regarded as a kind of ritual weapon.

A large number of forbidden troops arrived in various queues, lined up in Taimiao Square, and also guarded the main roads on the periphery to prevent idle people from coming.

In the distance, the ministers and dignitaries of the capital have arrived one after another, and then there is more majestic and solemn royal pomp, surrounded by countless guards and eunuchs

This is the altar of worship, and it is also where the Dayong Temple is located!

The festival officially begins before sunrise, and it will still be dark everywhere, only a few lanterns can still be lit, and in other places there are as few torches as possible, and only some lights at the temple are more conspicuous.

Today's Dayong Emperor Xiang Yi is at the forefront of the royal team, no matter how tired he is, he must also be strong at this moment.

After that, he was followed by the princes and nobles of the court, and then on the periphery were not only the forbidden army guarded, but also more than 200 mages who were now recognized by Si Tianjian.

There is not only one temple in Dayong's temple, but the rest of the accompanying halls cannot be called Taimiao.

When the emperor arrived in front of the Temple of Heaven, only the inside of the hall was shining brightly in the darkness.

A moment later, all the officials arrived, and all the mages were in place, accompanying the emperor to stand quietly in the huge square in front of the temple.

Before the hour came, the emperor was already sweating on his head, and he felt that his physical condition was really not good.

This was in stark contrast to the vigorous dragon and tiger a while ago, which made the emperor even more uncomfortable, and the desire for the elixir in his heart was also stronger, so much so that he couldn't help but glance at the mage queue not far away.

Sima Xiao, the supervisor of the Heavenly Prison, has another important task in the worship of the heavens today, he has reached the high place in front of the main hall of the Taimiao, silently counting the time, and looking at a direction at the right time, there are officials of the Heavenly Supervisor in the distance with lanterns to sign.

The time is right.

Sima Xiao was sure in his heart, took a step forward, and faced a large number of people below, such as the Son of Heaven, the ministers, the mages, and the forbidden army.

"The hour has come—"

Sima Xiao puffed up his strength to speak, his voice was full of anger, even if he had never practiced martial arts, but it spread far and wide in this empty and quiet environment.

At this moment, on both sides of the Taimiao, the forbidden army in groups of two made a move, the former one carried a huge horn, and the latter luck then blew the trumpet.

"Whew-"

All the sound of the horn sounded almost at the same time, and the majestic voice spread through the square in an instant, and it seemed to spread throughout the entire Chengtian Mansion

In the depths of the Taimiao Palace, Yan Shouyun was awakened by a thrill.

What's moving?

The sound of the horn was deafening to him, and Yan Shouyun woke up but was a little dazed.

On the first day of the first lunar month in the capital, is the City God Temple so noisy?
