The official positions of the Tang Dynasty were first inherited from the Ji Dynasty, but after all, after more than 100 years of wind and frost, and after several generations of lords of the country, the implementation of new policies, is now very different from the former dynasty that passed.

Wei Xiu stood in front of the magnificent hall of the Taishi Bureau, looked up at the plaque hanging outside the door of the palace, the incorruptible gold lacquer wrote the four big characters of "Observing the Image", even in the dark night, it still looks very clear, this hall that was once called the Qintianjian is like a majestic mountain in the palace, towering, and like a deep elder, staring at the heavy clouds, without saying a word.

The search for other places was just in case, and for this large hall for stargazing, it was the focus of their attention.

Just in front of the main hall, a hundred forbidden soldiers held their swords out of their sheaths, vigilantly through the wide open door of the temple, looking at the seemingly infinite darkness in the hall, but none of them stepped forward, as if they were afraid, as if there was a terrible beast lurking there, ready to pounce and devour them.

"What's the situation?" Wei Xiu got the news, and soon arrived here with someone, looked at the sergeant in the lead, and asked in a low voice, "Those charred charcoal ashes on the steps...... What is it?"

The leading brigade commander saw General Wei personally arrive with his subordinates, and suddenly a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, but his eyes were still full of lingering shadows, and he said intermittently: "Press ...... According to your orders, General, I arranged for five brothers to go first to search, but no sooner had they pushed open the door of the main hall than suddenly caught fire...... Everything seemed like it was only a few moments, and we didn't even have time to rush to the rescue, and in the blink of an eye, they ...... They've burned to the ...... Look......"

Wei Xiu's eyes froze, looking at the black marks on the steps in disbelief, and pointed, "You mean...... These things are ...... Is it human?"

The breeze blew, and the black charcoal ash scattered and drifted in all directions, becoming like black snow in the wind, and he stood there for a long time, and the movement of his fingers was stagnant.

And Qin Ke, who was hiding in the queue, was also a little shocked in his heart, just now he and Lupu were going to take advantage of the chaos to leave, but as a result, the whole team couldn't escape, which inevitably aroused suspicion, so they could only listen to the slogans and gather in this team.

Relying on the art of wind vision, he heard the conversation between the two clearly, and secretly said, what kind of flame can burn people into such charcoal ashes in an instant?

After a while, Wei Xiu came back to his senses, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said to the brigade commander beside him: "You pick two teams of brothers and let them go up and try it again." ”

The brigade commander nodded, but still said with some embarrassment: "The situation just now is too terrible, I'm afraid that these brothers are not willing to go, I also promised to give double the pension before, but after all, ......"

He didn't continue, but both of them knew that their current behavior didn't even know if they could survive tonight, even if they promised a hundred times the pension, who would dare to believe it?

"Then pick from my queue. Wei Xiu turned around, looked at the five hundred forbidden soldiers behind him, and said, "Fengzi Brigade, the first team and the second team are out of line!"

After all, it is the forbidden army of the Tang State that has undergone many years of training, although the military discipline is a little sloppy because of the war for a long time over the years, but tonight's killing is enough to make this army stained with a little iron again, as soon as his words fell, two teams of twenty forbidden troops stood up at the same time and approached the front.

Qin Ke, Lupu, and Wu Ting glanced at each other with very ugly faces, and they didn't dare to stop at their feet, so they could only follow the queue out.

"Listen to my orders, enter the Taishi Bureau to search and arrest, if there are casualties, as long as it is after tonight, the army will give your family five times the pension!"

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, not to mention that what this group of people did tonight has already been branded as "rebellious", if you don't work hard, I don't know if there is a chance to fight hard in the future, at least if you die in battle, you can give your family a stable living pension...... The two teams immediately responded loudly: "I am willing to die for the general!"

It's just that Qin Ke, Lupu and Wu Ting don't know what to say, they are not from the Tang Kingdom, and they are not in the mood to rebel or "Qingjun side", but what can they do at this moment? Could it be that Lao Tzu has come into the palace loudly, and he has to give you his life only when he is full?

Then they would not die in that strange fire, but would be immediately chased and slashed by these hundreds of random knives at the door of this great hall.

It's just that Qin Ke's face is even more ugly, and among the three, he is the only one who used the wind vision technique to hear the conversation between General Wei and the brigade commander.

Push the door and be burned to death? Or is it the way to die with broken bones and ashes?

Then rush up by yourself, to enter or not to enter?

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Pu frowned, he sensed that something was wrong with Qin Ke.

"You still don't know as well. Qin Ke's face turned pale, he held the hilt of the sword in his hand, and he had to follow forward.

The Taishi Bureau was still dead silent, this atmosphere made Qin Ke more and more creepy, he even felt that he was already in flames all over his body now, so that the heavens should not be called the earth, he shrank his head while taking a deep breath.

There were a hundred archers in the forbidden army, and at this moment the bowstrings were drawn at the same time, their arms were as hard as iron and stone, and their legs seemed to be about to step on a pit in the ground, and the arrows hanging on the strings flickered slightly in the firelight, but they were not very eager, but with a cold smell of death.

Needless to say, when the situation changed, they would not hesitate to let go of their fingers at the commander's command, and let those deadly feathered arrows be fired at their enemies, or...... His own comrades.

Qin Ke knew that he couldn't retreat now, so he could only stubbornly draw out the long sword with everyone, the sword was still sticky with blood, but it was just put in the scabbard for a while, and it had already begun to condense, with a disgusting fishy smell.

"Enter!"

Almost at this moment, the two teams rushed forward almost in no particular order!

In the roar of the sergeant, the ghosts behind the gate of the Taishi Bureau seemed to be frightened at this moment, and just after the first forbidden soldier crossed the high threshold, the two teams actually followed the fish in.

There was no fire, and there was only darkness in the temple, where the fingers could not be reached.

Everyone was a little stunned for a while, and the long sword that was already ready to be launched in their hands didn't know where to slash for a while.

Compared to Qin Ke, the surrounding forbidden army didn't know that the two black balls on the ground were coke burned by people, and when they accepted the task, they only thought that there were people guarding the gate in this Taishi Bureau, and it was difficult to enter, so they were needed as a team to attack the fortifications.

But the sword and arrow shadows that they expected to meet did not come, and they couldn't even see a ghost, which made them a little overwhelmed for a while, looking at each other, but not knowing how to take the next move.

Wei Xiu saw the situation in front of him, frowned for a while, and looked at the brigade commander just now.

And the brigade commander was a little weak by General Wei's gaze, beads of sweat fell on his forehead, and hurriedly swore an oath: "The subordinates definitely did not deceive the general, just a few brothers just pushed open the door, and immediately became on fire, and it became charcoal in a few breaths!"

Wei Xiu nodded and continued to look at the hall: "I didn't say that you deceived me, but now it seems that ...... Something seems to have changed in the Taishi Bureau. ”

"Perhaps, the warlock who hid in it and killed people with demon magic has exhausted his strength?" said the brigade commander tentatively.

"It's not impossible. Wei Xiu didn't care about this, "Demon law, don't mention this kind of nonsense in the future, the person inside is just a spiritual cultivator, and it is not surprising that he knows some special techniques handed down from the Mo family, but after all, he is still a person, a human ...... It won't be invincible. ”

"Yes, yes......" He also knew that his words would cause panic to his subordinates, and quickly nodded in agreement.

After entering the gate, the task of Qin Ke's two teams naturally could not be as simple as "rushing into the gate", Wei Xiu raised his voice and shouted two sentences, signaling them to continue to go deeper and search the entire Taishi Bureau until they found the "demon" who did it.

Qin Ke looked at the increasingly dense darkness, and felt in his heart that there might be a glimmer of hope to escape secretly, and then looked at Lupu and Wuting, it seemed that even their figures had become a little blurred, in this case, it was difficult for them to protect themselves, so he clenched the saber in his hand and walked towards the unfathomable darkness with the team.
