Chapter 13: Twelve Hours

The gate of Ximing Temple is closed, and there is even a team of forbidden army guards, tomorrow is the sacrifice of the hundred monks of the Shangyuan Festival, such an important festival, the Taichang Temple in charge of the sacrifice will definitely not allow a little mistake.

"Ouch!" a soft gasp sounded.

By the small gate of Ximing Temple, a delicate girl in a green shirt had just been stopped by the guard's hand, and she fell halfway to the ground. She lifted the corners of her skirt and gently rubbed her jade-white calves, her eyes were bright, slightly shy and aggrieved, and she slowly raised her head and looked at the two guard brothers: "Oh! Guard brothers! My feet are twisted, can you make it convenient and help me up." ”

She stretched out her finger and ran it across her cheek, and a strand of hair wrapped around her fingers, adding a three-point charm.

Seeing this, the guard grinned and replied heartily, "Okay!"

After that, he walked straight to the girl in the green shirt, looked up and down, smiled evilly, pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, and put it on her shoulder: "Look, let it help you up, or let me help you!"

The girl in the green shirt still didn't give up, and said flatteringly: "Big ~ brother ~!"

But before he finished speaking, the horizontal knife on his shoulder was an inch closer to his neck.

"Don't you know what day tomorrow is? If you make trouble again, I'll arrest you!" After saying that, the guard put away the knife and stared at the woman in green shirt: "Don't get up yet! How can I always encounter this kind of blindness today. ”

The girl in the green shirt looked at him with a serious face, and knew that there was nothing she could do, so she glared at the guard, and although she was unwilling, she had to leave.

As soon as she turned the alley, she was stopped by a girl in a yellow shirt hiding in a corner: "Eh, eh, eh, green beans, we are here." ”

This girl is the Venerable Kite of the North Fourth Hall of Rongjiao, and there is a slightly obese wealthy merchant standing next to her - wearing a small head, wearing a gold silk embroidered robe, and a pair of mustaches, which is a maid 'red bean' dressed in disguise.

Venerable Kite looked at Qingdou with a sad expression, and knew that something was wrong: "What's the matter, you haven't been able to get in?"

Qingdou Nunu's mouth: "That guard really doesn't get in with oil and salt!" After speaking, he stomped his feet unconsciously, obviously resentful.

Hongdou wiped his beard and sighed, "Hey! Otherwise, miss, let's forget about it! When tomorrow is over, the Dafa of the hundred monks is over, we will sneak in again. ”

"Forget it?" Venerable Kite groaned, shook his head again, and said sharply, "No! This is the first time we have gone it alone since joining Rongjiao. If you don't make some achievements, how can you go back. I must prove to my family that girls can make a difference. The ghost valley technique, the so-called transmission of men and not women, is a big mistake!"

The so-called ghost valley technique is the technique of the ghost valley lineage. Before Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains, the two schools of war and law were not first-class schools, and Guigu was already one of the five major veins with the same name as "Confucianism, Taoism, Mo, and Fang", and it was a giant of the local school of Zheng'er Bajing. It's a pity that the internal division of the Guigu Valley continued, except for the founder of the Dao Master "Mousheng Guiguzi", in the next few hundred years, although there were many wizards, there was no one who could lead the entire sect.

The Guigu vein finally collapsed, and the six branches left, divided into seven:

The three branches, which are similar to the war, law, and Tao, give up the idea of the ghost valley and are absorbed by the other three veins.

A branch that is proficient in the ghost valley technique, retreats to the mountains and forests, and is nowhere to be found, but it has left a number of secret small sects, and occasionally a few unborn wizards, leaving a lot of legends on the rivers and lakes.

One of the ones who is proficient in the art of runes, set up another portal, and has been accumulating for thousands of years, and finally became the top wealthy family in the line of runes. The so-called Fu Qi Seven Families: rotten water, ember fire, hired wind, thunder, subduing ghosts, serving spirits, and the second "service spirits" among the gods, came from this.

One of the ones who was proficient in arithmetic gave up the ideological martial arts and techniques of Guigu and indulged in arithmetic, laying the foundation for the establishment of the "Nine Calculations" lineage.

And the largest branch left behind inherited the thoughts, martial arts, and "secret halls all over the world" in Guigu, and evolved into the later vertical and horizontal lineage. Now Tianji Palace and Tianyan Pavilion both originate from here. The relationship between them is also extremely delicate, and it is not listed here.

During the Qin Dynasty, the Ghost Valley was divided into seven, and it coincided with the Fang Shi who went to the East China Sea and disappeared en masse. Since then, the two have declined, and the names of the six major veins have since been rewritten: "Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Soldiers, Law, and Mo".

Venerable Kite paced two or three steps, looked at the white-roofed wall of Ximing Temple in the distance, and said firmly: "Red beans, green beans!

Qingdou was stunned for a moment, but Hongdou was smart, stepped up to Venerable Kite, and said in surprise: "Miss, you don't want to use that trick?"

"That's right! Daddy's mastery, Guigu Mind Changing Method! I've been secretly learning for a long time, other things may be difficult, and it's more than enough to control a little sparrow, don't worry!" Venerable Kite was full of confidence: "I'm 'Ai Xiaoying' will definitely not insult my father's reputation as a 'fusion sect traitor'." ”

"How could this be! Why didn't you say it earlier?" Li Xuan, who had just returned home, seemed to be angry, and immediately shook his head: "That's it." Lin Yuan nephew, this is not your fault. It was my negligence, and I only knew that there was a problem with the exercise, but I didn't know that every month and a half, it would have an attack. If you ask more, I'm afraid it won't be the result of today. ”

"But even so, why did Bing'er run away by herself? Wouldn't it be better to have so many people at home?" Aunt Cai was worried, grabbed Li Yan's hand, and leaned on his side, not only to appease Li Yan, but also to find a support for her anxiety.

"I don't know where he's going to go. ”

Ying Lan'er, who was standing on the side, could understand Li Bing's mood very well: "It's probably a matter of Senior Sun, it really scared him." Think about the blood flowing in Qianhua Xingfang, his internal strength, if it really happens in the house, I don't know what the scene will be. I think Li Bing is worried about this......"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly lowered her head again and muttered: "I'd rather hurt myself than hurt my friends and relatives, he is very admirable." ”

When Li Yu heard this, he shook his head again and again: "How can Qianhua Xingfang be compared with the palace, can he still hurt me with his little ability?" The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, he blamed himself, clenched his fist on the table, and just wanted to speak, he saw Mi Xin running from the courtyard: "Big brother, I have asked, all the city gates have not seen His Royal Highness the Prince of the World out of the city, he must still be in Chang'an City." ”

Mi Xin glanced at Han Linyuan and Ying Lan'er: "It just so happens that the two of you are also there! On the way here just now, I met Wei Gongzi and Ma Gongzi. When the two of them learned of the news, they had already gone home and sent people to look around the city. Han Gongzi knows the temperament of His Highness the best, and he doesn't know where His Highness is, do you have any guesses?"

"In the past, every time he got into trouble, Brother Bing could resist it by himself. It's estimated that it's the same this time, most of them will find a place, and they won't come out until they have a strange internal strength. Han Linyuan touched the handle: "It should be able to trap people, and it should be relatively quiet, away from the crowd." What can be in Chang'an City?"

"Ice cellars of various families, abandoned temples, courtyards, brick kilns, clay kilns, abandoned mine pits, and prisons. Chang'an City, there are too many places to hide people like this. Li Xuan only had a thought in his mind, and there were more than a hundred places that flashed.

"It doesn't matter how much, it's only fourteen today, and there is still one day until the Shangyuan Festival. In these twelve hours, it will not be difficult to find someone in Chang'an!"
