Emperor Yuan Jing bore the brunt of the attack, and fell to the ground in the powerful qi fluctuations, the high platform shook violently, and the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors on the case toppled one after another.

Offerings and offerings were scattered all over the place, and some of the flying tiles smashed on Emperor Yuan Jing's body.

The scene was chaotic in an instant, and the forbidden troops patrolling the surrounding area quickly gathered their camp and rushed to Sangbo.

The watchmen who were on guard by the lake rushed to the sacrificial procession to protect the royal family and civil and military officials.

"There are assassins, protect Your Majesty. ”

"Protect the Queen, protect the Princess..."

"Protect Shousuke...."

The figure flickered, the ten golden gongs of the Yamen, the masters of the five guards of the forbidden army, and the masters of the clan, in just an instant, at least dozens of high-grade martial artists rose into the air, settled on the high platform, and settled in the zigzag corridor, protecting Emperor Yuanjing closely.

The commotion only lasted for a dozen breaths, as the sword qi that broke through the sky quickly dissipated, and the lake returned to calm.

There were no assassins, and as the turmoil subsided, everything was stable, with no casualties or suspicious figures.

Wei Yuan, the leader in charge of the security work of the sacrifice, strode up the high platform along the winding water corridor, and bowed:

"Wechen is derelict in his duties, Wechen deserves to die. ”

At this time, Emperor Yuan Jing had regained his composure, but after this incident, his indifferent immortal aura had completely disappeared from between his eyebrows.

He is no longer a Taoist who has been cultivating for more than 20 years, but an unfathomable and majestic emperor with power in his hands.

Emperor Yuan Jing said in a deep voice: "Everyone exit the altar and are not allowed to approach. ”

Including Wei Yuan, all the high-grade martial artists stood up and promised.

Emperor Yuan Jing straightened his clothes, dusted off his clothes, pushed open the temple door with a serious expression, and entered inside.

.....

By the willow tree, Xu Qi'an, who roared loudly, did not hear the strange cry for help, as time passed, his spirit was stabilized, and his head still had pain after the trauma, but it was no longer as unbearable as before.

Only then did he have the energy to observe the situation around him.

The colleagues around him have long left, protecting the civil and military officials and the royal and clan personnel on the shore.

The high platform was empty, but the winding corridor was full of high-grade martial artists, led by Wei Yuan.

Emperor Yuan Jing is nowhere to be found.

What surprised Xu Qi'an the most was that the legendary temple that enshrined the divine sword had a broken roof beam and a big hole appeared.

Something went wrong with the ancestor worship, and the secret of Sambo reappeared in the world?

Xu Qi'an's thoughts flashed quickly, and while holding down his swollen and aching head, he gathered towards the large army.

Because of his status as a watchman, he was not hindered.

"What's the matter with you?" Song Tingfeng looked at his new colleague: "How is your physical condition?" ”

Song Tingfeng did not associate the abnormality of Sangbo Lake with Xu Qi'an's previous abnormality.

It's like you don't associate the roar of a weak chicken with a magnitude 10 earthquake.

"In the past few days, I have been practicing too diligently, and I have been counterattacked. Xu Qi'an found a reasonable explanation, and then said: "Fortunately, I have eased up, by the way, what happened just now?"

"I don't know. Song Tingfeng shook his head, and while scanning the surroundings and assuming a defensive posture, he said in a low voice:

"The Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple suddenly exploded, and a sword qi rushed out of the temple, causing the entire Sangbo to boil, like an earthquake. But looking at the current situation, it seems that it is not an assassin. ”

Xu Qi'an looked at the high platform again, the hole on the top of the temple was pierced by the sword qi? The divine sword has this power, so the one who asked me for help just now must not be a sword spirit or something.

He lowered his eyes for a moment, collected all his emotions, precipitated all his thoughts, and then hurried to the vicinity of the eldest princess, hugged his fists and said:

"Is the eldest princess okay?"

The scene has been restored to order, although there are exchanges everywhere, but it is generally very quiet, waiting for Emperor Yuan Jing to come out.

Xu Qi'an's voice attracted the people around him to look at him, including his colleagues who beat the watchman, the forbidden army, the eunuchs, the eldest princess, and the royal relatives around her.

The eldest princess's eyebrows and eyes were gorgeous, but her expression was as cold as frost and snow. She tilted her head, and Xu Qi'an's figure was reflected in her autumn-like eyes, and her voice had the coldness of jade colliding:

"Unharmed!"

Xu Qi'an was relieved: "I can rest assured if I am humble." ”

He accepted it when he saw it, and after brushing a wave of presence, he immediately retreated, meticulously guarding the surroundings.

"Huaiqing, this little gong admires you very much. A soft voice sounded, it was the second princess behind the eldest princess.

Huaiqing is the title of the eldest princess, but she prefers outsiders to call her the eldest princess.

Emperor Yuan Jing once commented on this eldest daughter, who is competitive and does not lose to men, and domineering does not lose to me.

The second princess is extremely beautiful, her round face is embellished with a pair of bright peach blossom eyes, her red lips are bright, and she always reveals amorous charm between her cheeks and smiles.

and the eldest princess are two beauties who are diametrically opposed. The relationship between the sisters has always been bad.

The eldest princess said lightly: "I can't talk about admiration, I just want to repay my kindness." ”

Xu Qi'an's foreshadowing in Si Tianjian and his posture just now successfully established the image of "Gratitude and Reward" in the heart of the eldest princess.

The second princess covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sister Huaiqing's charm is well known in the capital, the students of Yunlu Academy are fascinated by you, and the scholars are still like this, let alone the watchman." ”

The other princes and princesses ate melons with great interest and watched the excitement, and did not comment on the words of the second princess.

"Lin'an!"

The prince of the East Palace frowned and reprimanded, "Silence." ”

Lin'an is the title of the second princess, and in the face of her brother's reprimand, she pursed her lips, stood with her head bowed, and put on a dignified and elegant demeanor.

The royal family all know that the eldest princess and the second princess are not compatible.

The eldest princess is from the queen, and the second princess is from Chen Guifei, and there is still a difference in status. However, the concubine is more favored than the queen.

When she was young, the second princess liked to provoke the eldest princess and find fault everywhere.

It was an ordinary heavenly intrigue, however, the eldest princess was a domineering and maverick, she asked the attendant to capture the second princess, but the attendant didn't dare, so he did it himself, carrying a roll of bamboo slips, chasing the second princess.

Fight from south to north and from north to south.

The maids and guards in the palace did not dare to stop them, and finally disturbed Emperor Yuan Jing, who cultivated immortals.

Chen Guifei took her daughter with a blue nose and swollen face to accuse the eldest princess, and Emperor Yuan Jing planned to severely punish the eldest princess and called her to go to the imperial study.

The eldest princess had already prepared, and took more than a dozen sets of books such as "The Book of Rites", "General Dictionary", and "Palace Law", and opened them one by one in the imperial study, quoting classic sentences and making statements with emotion.

In the end, he won the lawsuit, and Emperor Yuan Jing depressedly sentenced the eldest princess to be acquitted, and went back to cultivate immortals.

After becoming an adult, the eldest princess became much more restrained.

....

Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple.

A majestic man in a yellow robe and a crown stood with his sword in hand, the temple door was closed, and Emperor Yuan Jing stood in front of the founding emperor's minister, silently staring at the dusty bronze sword.

"What about a product? You should have a long life, but you are not burdened by the luck of the world, and you have lived a few years longer than ordinary people?" Emperor Yuan Jing seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be talking to this ancestor six hundred years ago:

"I ascended the throne at the age of twenty, defeated all the enemies, sat in that position, and no one could stand with me anymore, but in the end I realized that the greatest enemy was time. ”

Emperor Yuan Jing slowly looked away, looked down at the ground under his feet, and looked at it for a long time. Then, he began to inspect the temple furnishings, and even climbed the altar to touch the ancestral dharma and the brass sword with great disrespect.

The process was meticulous and long, and in the end, Emperor Yuan Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

His expression became relaxed, he knelt on the futon, bowed three times to the founding emperor, and then left the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple.

Emperor Yuan Jing stood on a high platform, overlooking the civil and military officials and royal relatives, and his voice was like a dusk drum and morning bell: "The ancestor worship ceremony continues." ”

He didn't explain the cause of the anomaly.

The five guards of the forbidden army and the watchmen dispersed again, restored order in an orderly manner, and inspected the surrounding area.

Columns of eunuchs bowed their heads and hurried away, cleaning the broken tiles on the high platform, sorting tribute offerings, and tablets of the royal ancestors.

Xu Qi'an [ ] returned to the guard position, muttering in his heart, it's very strange, it stands to reason that when he encounters this kind of thing when worshipping his ancestors, he is big-breasted... Phew, a bad omen, Emperor Yuan Jing should be furious.

But he seemed to be mentally prepared for this, and he didn't angrily reprimand Duke Wei and the Janissary Commanders.... Well, it's not necessarily mental preparation, but knowing the true source of the mutation.

And then, again, this is something that cannot be talked about in public.

Sangpo Lake really hides hidden secrets.
