After Qin Tiancang escaped from the Meridian Altar, he was full of grief and anger all the way, just one step away! Only one step away! He could stand on the top of the cloud capital, and his name resounded throughout the world! What was the wrong step that led to today's defeat?

He found a place under the eaves of the four eyes, and took off his golden silk armor, although it was already the time of the unitary, there was no light in the cloud capital, but his gilt heavy armor was particularly eye-catching under the moonlight, and he was afraid that the people and horses of the cloud capital would chase him out.

Along the way, he didn't see a single soldier in Rizhao, Qin Tiancang counted the soldiers who occupied the Meridian Altar with him in his heart, and couldn't help but wonder: Obviously, there are still nearly 10,000 horses who have not followed up, why can't he even see a figure now, how did Cui Shang dispatch the army?

He remembered that when he was at the Meridian Altar, he didn't see Cui Shang's figure, and the follow-up troops didn't keep up, so he was alone, and staying in Yundu was like being in prison, and he would die sooner or later.

Where did Cui Shang go, this gentleman saw you and had to cure you for the crime of fearing your head before the battle!

Qin Tiancang fled westward along the city wall, and suddenly saw the wall with his back to the bright moon, and a dancing figure appeared, he was shocked, and hurriedly hid in the corner, but saw that the figure was just a lonely person, and there was no one else to follow, and from the figure, it was a woman's figure, so he let down his vigilance in his heart. He leaned out to watch, but saw a woman under the shadow of the moon dressed in a flowing fairy skirt, her hands and feet danced with a light song, and the voice of the whispered chant in her mouth seemed to be nothing, Qin Tiancang was attracted by the singing, and couldn't help but stop and watch, it didn't matter if he looked at it, just the moment the woman turned around, Qin Tiancang suddenly found that this woman was his queen Zhen Yu.

"Zhen Yu!"

Qin Tiancang shouted in a hidden voice, Queen Zhen stopped dancing as if she was frightened and began to run out, Qin Tiancang quickly hugged Zhen Yu in his arms.

"It's me, Zhen Yu, I'm Tiancang!"

Zhen Yu shouted loudly, muttering to himself: "I killed them, I killed them..."

"Zhen Yu, what's wrong with you... How did you get here... You speak..."

Queen Zhen grabbed Qin Tiancang's collar, her cheeks were covered with tears, Qin Tiancang reached out to wipe her tears, but just when she looked at each other, Qin Tiancang found that his wife had no self in her eyes at all.

"Zhen Yu, are you talking... What the hell is wrong with you..."

Queen Zhen didn't answer, her body was stiff, she fell down, Qin Tiancang hurriedly picked him up, and roughly checked her limbs, and saw no traces of injury, he tested Zhen Yu's snort with his hand, and the rhythm was normal.

At first, he didn't notice the tiredness, but now that there was no one to answer under his eyes, Qin Tiancang felt helpless, he picked up Zhen Yu, and walked towards the west of the city, suddenly there were a few beams of firelight, and his eyes couldn't be opened.

Qin Tiancang held Zhen Yu with one hand, and with the other hand, he took out the corona flywheel and blocked it in front of him.

"Why should you be alarmed?"

Among the torches, a man of one width walked out, and those beside him stepped back. This person has a ruddy complexion, full of wealth, dressed in luxurious clothes, the agate bucket around his waist is dazzling, his voice is like a bell, he is not intimidating, his eyes show a look of concern, and there seems to be no malice.

"Dare to ask what the honorable driver is..."

"Why should the king ask more, the queen has fainted, why don't you rest in the house, the contemptible people have just got the news, Xiao Luo and the crowd have returned to the royal city, and the west gate is about to be curfew, at this time out of the city I am afraid that there will be a mistake. ”

Qin Tiancang saw that the other party had no malicious intent, and what he said was reasonable, so he nodded in agreement. A few servants and maidservants immediately walked out of the crowd and helped Queen Zhen into a sedan chair, while Qin Tiancang was invited into a carriage.

Qin Tiancang walked into the carriage, saw that there was a red lacquered square table inside the carriage, on which there were four kinds of candied fruit, four kinds of hot dishes, a cup of sake, and lifted the car tent, and saw that there were small handles at all corners of the carriage, and there were countless people holding torches in the front of the convoy to open the way.

Qin Tiancang was secretly sure of one person in his heart, although he was not completely sure, he already had a seven-point chance of winning.

After walking for about half an hour, the carriage stopped outside the door of a house, the house lived alone in the depths, the courtyard was scattered, a huge stone screen stood in front of the door, the screen was engraved with the picture of 'Tiger Roaring Wind', Qin Tiancang stared at this picture, and suddenly felt a shock around his body, as if he was shaken by the domineering spirit revealed on the screen. When Qin Tiancang got out of the car, several small servants gathered around him to get off, Qin Tiancang saw that there was only a small road outside the door of the house, and there was no one else except for the uniformed family members who patrolled back and forth.

"Where's your master?"

Qin Tiancang asked the little guy next to him, and the little guy said: "My master please rest assured, Queen Zhen has moved to the inner garden to rest, and there is a doctor to diagnose the queen's pulse, and there is no big problem, the king can enter the house to bathe in wide clothes first, and then discuss with my master." ”

Qin Tiancang saw that the little guy who asked was full of anger and politeness, and suddenly he was sure of the identity of the mysterious person in his heart.

Until everything was arranged by this big man, after the food and drink, Qin Tiancang was invited into a flower room in the inner garden, and the people who served him bowed and left, leaving him alone in the house, he pushed open the window and looked at a garden outside the window, all kinds of beauties competed in the moonlit night, Qin Tiancang took a deep breath, and the tiredness of the daily battle was swept away.

"Your Excellency is so interested!"

The big man stood in the doorway at some point, and he tried to wink, and the little guy behind him stepped back and closed the door.

There were only Qin Tiancang and this mysterious big man left in the house, Qin Tiancang saw that this big man was sitting calmly opposite, and there were two Yunling mist teas on the table between the two, the tea fragrance was rich and refreshing.

The big man took a sip of tea but didn't swallow it, just spit it out in the washing dish next to him with a light drum in his mouth.

Qin Tiancang couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that this person was well-behaved and the furnishings in the mansion were very tasteful, he knew that as the king of a country, the things he used were not so extravagant, and the servants he saw when he entered the mansion were well-behaved and orderly, so he was even more sure of this person's identity.

Qin Tiancang opened his mouth and said: "This monarch is newly defeated, like a lost dog, thanks to the good intentions of the honored driver, the monarch and the queen are resting in the mansion, the monarch is grateful, but I don't know why the honored driver is willing to help?"

The big man put down the teacup and said: "Didn't the king personally say that he wanted to come to see the contemptible side, the contemptible people have no talent and no virtue, how dare they condescend to the master, today is also a coincidence to see the king passing by from the contemptible territory, as the saying goes, it is better to meet by chance, what is the inconsiderate person to take care of, please also ask the gentleman Haihan." ”

"Brother Qu is polite, who in the world doesn't know the name of Qu Luotong, the rich man of Lingnan, and can be invited by Brother Qu, how can this gentleman not come. ”

Qu Luotong was stunned in his heart, he didn't expect that Qin Tiancang not only saw through his identity, but also called him 'Brother Qu', which invisibly pulled into the relationship between the two.

"You don't need to say anything extraordinary, just treat this place as your own palace courtyard. ”

Qin Tiancang paced to the windowsill and asked, "Ben Jun saw that there is a flower in your garden called 'Moyan', this peanut is in the territory of Rizhao, and it only competes in the water, I don't know how Brother Qu transplanted it to the land?"

"Hehe, this 'Moyan' flower is indeed a rare thing, when the contemptible people took great pains to transport it all the way from Rizhao to here, on the way died three hundred flower seedlings, only three remained, and then tried a variety of grafting, it took more than 20 craftsmen to take turns to guard, and as a result, two more died, and finally only this one is the one that Jun Shang sees now. ”

"Brother Qu's subordinates are really capable of producing a large number of people, and a small 'Moyan' flower can use so many people!"

Qin Tiancang sighed sincerely, and Qu Luotong waved his hand and replied: "It's not that there are many talented people under me, it's just that when I want to do something, even if there is only the last glimmer of hope, I will never give up." ”

Qu Luotong suddenly changed his words, and his gloomy face turned at Qin Tiancang: "Does the king know about the sacrifice of my ten-year-old child in Yundu?"

"I have heard for a long time, according to legend, your Yundu Cultivation Secret Technique relies on taking people for thirty years of Yang Shou to open the Xuantian Gate in order to obtain the road to heaven. Benjun thinks that this method of cultivating fate is too cruel, and uses children's longevity as sacrifices to break up parents and children alive, so that the family is ruined and the wife is separated!"

"It's really cruel, but does the king understand why I want to cultivate my Yundu for generations?"

"It's... I don't know..."

"Your Excellency knows, just because Yundu and Rizhao are in the vicinity, and if you want to resist your two countries in the land of projectiles, cultivating your relationship is the only way to survive. The king may not know that the contemptible person is also from the Jiali Temple, although he inherited this Wanguan family capital, he may not be able to die one day. ”

Qin Tiancang began to be restless, he didn't understand the intention of Qu Luotong's words, he seemed to smell the strangeness in his words.

"So you're planning to avenge Yundu?"

"No, no," Qu Luotong laughed and said: "The contemptible man is just a profit-seeking businessman, he has long been accustomed to fighting, and his personal position has long been lost, the more conquests between the three kingdoms, the greater the benefits of the contemptible people, although Yundu was defeated by the king, but in the end it did not come to the point of destroying the country, what do I have to blame the king?"

"Why is the Venerable Driver speaking aggressively, Benjun has no grudge against you, could it be that you blame Benjun for not being able to honor the matter of letting you serve as a deacon of Jiali Temple? You also know this matter very well, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the extreme Dao and the forced opening of the Xuantian Gate, it would have been time to divide the rewards. ”

"The gentleman misunderstood, Qu someone is not greedy for any reward. ”

"What is Brother Qu inviting Benjun here for?"

"Qu has a lot of money, and there are about thousands of people who eat with despicable people, although I am not talented, but I am not greedy for any Yundu position, but," Qu Luotong suddenly closed his voice, Qin Tiancang saw that his face was sad, but he couldn't say a word for a long time, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Qu has any unspeakable secrets, you might as well say it directly." ”

"Don't hide it from you, I took four wives and concubines and have not been able to have children, and when Qu was thirty-five years old, I invited him." Taiping Bodhisattva 'Dong Taiping helped me diagnose the pulse, this person is not only prospering, and proficient in divination, he said that Qu someone is not born with a birth disease, do not worry, the lunar month will naturally have a noble son coming, Qu someone naturally thinks of the child born in the lunar month to be sent to the Jiali Temple to practice, but Mr. Dong said that only this one chance to give birth, Qu someone has nothing to do, can only watch the dog born in the lunar month, this July is the dog's 10th birthday, according to the rules formulated by Yundu, August 15 to be sent to the Jiali Temple to sacrifice, the dog is the heart of Qu someone, naturally unwilling to let him be separated from me。 At the beginning of August, I found a family in Rizhao Yeyue City, and used a son of the same age to replace the dog to participate in the sacrifice ceremony. Later, I looked for the left shore of the Jiali Temple to respond to each other, who knew that on the day of the sacrifice ceremony, the dog appeared at the meridian altar to participate in the sacrifice ceremony, and I knew that I was deceived. ”

"Zuo Tian'an, this person sells his reputation and accumulates wealth, and he has long been notorious, and it is rumored in Rizhao that this person is the rat of Jiali Temple, and he spoiled the whole pot of soup. ”

"What do you think is the place of the Kalje Temple?"

"Jiali Temple is a secret place for Yundu cultivation, why do you need to say more?"

"It's true that the cultivation of the fate is true, but the cultivation of any world is based on physical practice and conforming to nature, and the cultivation of the Yundu requires the sacrifice of thirty years of yang longevity in exchange for the path to heaven, doesn't the king think that this cultivation method does not look like a famous and decent one?"

Qin Tiancang nodded and said: "Yundu's cultivation technique has been famous for a long time, and it has always relied on sacrificial life to cultivate fate, so I don't think there is anything wrong with it. ”

"There are a lot of contemptible people, including a few good people who dig tombs and steal caves, they have sneaked into the Jiali Temple to steal ancient books, although they are obtained, but they have also discovered the great secret of Yundu. ”

"Ancient books? Could it be that Brother Qu refers to the 'Heavenly Ribbon Heart Sutra'?"

"It is this book, this Tianshou Heart Sutra is the essence of the secret method of Jiali Temple's cultivation, we ordinary people think that the 'Tianshou Heart Sutra' refers to the practice of the 'Tianshou' realm after the cultivation, but in fact, the Tianshou Heart Sutra is actually divided into four parts, which are successively signed 'Qianyuan', 'Xugu', 'Wuxuan' and 'Tianshou', which is no different from the Yundu cultivation level name. ”

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Qin Tiancang was suddenly satisfied, and immediately listened attentively.

"These four classics are closely related to the level of cultivation, the first three are included in the collection of Jiali Temple, and those who cultivate the fate can enter to borrow it, and the cultivation method and path are also detailed in the book, only the last one 'Tianshou' is kept by the head of Jiali Temple, passed down from generation to generation, and left ancient teachings, and people below the realm of 'Tianshou' are not allowed to read it. ”

"Speaking of which, Benjun can't help but have some questions..."

"Your Majesty, please speak. ”

"It is rumored that people who have entered the realm of 'Heavenly Ribbon' have jumped out of the Three Realms and have not entered the Five Elements, and their golden bodies will not be destroyed, and Yama will refuse to accept them. The deacon of the Jiali Monastery should be a permanent youth and a genius with a solid life, so why would he pass away and let future generations inherit the mantle?

Qu Luotong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Qin Tiancang had also heard of the 'Heavenly Ribbon Reverse Pulse', you must know that this news was only collected by the powerful people he had sent to collect it with great difficulty.

"I don't know where you heard about this?"

Qin Tiancang did not shy away from saying: "Yundu is self-rewarding"

"Unexpectedly, he actually knows the 'Heavenly Ribbon Reverse Pulse', it seems that this matter is no longer a secret. ”

"Benjun has been afraid of the extreme Dao of Jiali Temple before, if it were not for the white self-appreciation and ventilation of the news, Benjun did not dare to enter the army at all, but I did not expect that although the extreme Dao is not lacking, but he can still open the Xuantian Gate with his body to resist the law, so that today's defeat, but unfortunately there is no moon lice pioneer battalion under my command. ”

"Extreme Dao is not lacking, is it really so powerful?Qu someone underestimated the strength of the Jiali Temple. However, after this battle, the vitality of the temple can be said to be greatly damaged, why didn't the king take the opportunity to seize the temple?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that most of the people in the army were killed and injured when the Xuantian Gate was opened, and there were originally reserve military horses, but I couldn't even see half a figure, I don't know what happened!"

"Wouldn't this be a missed opportunity to occupy Yundu?"

Qin Tiancang saw Qu Luotong beating his chest and feet, looking annoyed, and his heart was even more puzzled.

"I don't know why Brother Qu is in a hurry to let Benjun capture Jiali Temple. ”

"The dog is trapped in the Jiali Temple and the like, and I haven't been able to see each other so far, I opened the gate of the South Lane to let the Rizhao army pass, not to covet any deacon of the Jiali Temple, but the Jiali Temple can rescue the dog as soon as it opens, by the way, I don't know if you have seen the disciples of the Jiali Temple when you captured the Meridian Altar?"

"And... I haven't seen it..."

Qu Luotong didn't bother to ask, but it aroused Qin Tiancang's uneasiness, a few hours ago, it was he who ordered the slaughter of the disciples of Jiali Temple, but he didn't know that Yelu Jinyun still left a ten-year-old child.

Qin Tiancang's heart palpitated, beads of sweat oozed from his palms, he turned his back to Qu Luotong, adjusted his mentality, and then said: "There is an enchantment in Jiali Temple, and my Rizhao sergeant can't break it, otherwise he will be sent back to Brother Qu when he sees Ling Lang." ”

Qu Luotong echoed: "This barrier was set up by the Founding Dao Patriarch, and people who are not from Yundu are not allowed to enter. ”

"Since Brother Qu can send a master in, why don't you personally rescue Ling Lang?"

"There are many masters in the cloud capital, not that the power I gave up can be shaken, and the dog has been sacrificed, and rescuing it is only to relieve my lovesickness, if I can't practice to the 'Void Valley' realm at the age of eighteen, I will die violently, and I can only stay in the temple to practice for now. It's just that I am angry in my heart, thinking that the solemn and majestic Jiali Temple is actually a place where filth and dirt are hidden, Zuo Tian'an received hundreds of taels of gold from me, and then went back on his way and sent the dog back to the Jiali Temple, so that the dog is now in prison, and although such a capricious villain is dead, it is cheaper for him. ”

"I heard that Zuo Tian'an was killed in An Lin half a month ago, and he was covered with the wounds of all kinds of weapons, presumably it was also Brother Qu's doing?"

"I did find someone to besiege Zuo Tian'an, he used to walk alone in Anlin after his shift work every day, so I used seven good men under my door to intercept and kill him halfway. These seven good players are all in the high-level realm of 'Void Valley', and they are all brave and ruthless, experienced in a hundred battles, known as the 'Big Dipper Vulture', although he broke his protective qi when he fought with Zuo Tian'an, but his killing move 'Red Flame Flying Phoenix' was sharp, and the seven of them couldn't get close at all, if they didn't figure it out to each other, they would be killed by Zuo Tian'an in turn. ”

"In this way, Zuo Tian'an was not killed by Brother Qu's people, so how did he die?"

"On that day, Zuo Tian'an was besieged by the Beidou Vulture, and was wounded but not injured, and at that time, a white-clothed and masked man flew into the battle to rescue Zuo Tian'an, and I think the man in white must be the real murderer who killed Zuo Tian'an. ”

"The man in white..."Qin Tiancang frowned, and immediately thought of someone in his mind.

"This man in white is good at using the water phase exercises, and his body is elegant, and he has the water phase to protect his body, so the seven people had to watch him rescue Zuo Tian'an. However, this white-clothed masked man saved Zuo Tian'an and finally killed him, and the hidden reason is unknown. ”

"Zuo Tian'an has accumulated greed for money, and it is not a pity to die, but it also praises Brother Qu's heart. ”

Qu Luotong shook his head and said: "Although I am a bribe-giver, I know that taking people's money and eliminating disasters with people, Zuo Tian'an is treacherous, and dying so happily is really cheap for him, otherwise according to my rules, he will be chopped into meat sauce as fertilizer in my garden!"
