The smoke and rain quietly moistened the earth, and it was still some time before dawn.

The entire Tiandu City was lit up by countless lights.

Thousands of lanterns and torches converge from every street and alley of the city, like a brilliant galaxy flowing, heading towards the Tiandu Temple.

These people are all ordinary people who have no chance to enter the temple today to watch the ceremony with their own eyes, and they got up early and rushed to the Tiandu Temple, hoping to grab a good position outside the temple, and if they can listen to the sound of the bells and drums in the temple, they are already full of joy and wish.

When they came to Tiandu Temple, all the early risers were depressed to find that the street in front of the gate was already dark and crowded, and some people were waiting here in the rain and keeping vigil.

The forbidden army of the imperial court is on the periphery of the street, five steps and one post, ten steps and one card, as if facing the enemy, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching the pedestrians around them. Later, Emperor Longwu will lead hundreds of civil and military officials out of Shangfu Gate, all the way to Tiandu Temple to worship and pray for blessings.

Inside the forbidden army posts on the inner and outer three floors, there were layers of Heavenly Dao disciples lined up as a wall to maintain order.

As soon as you enter the streets adjacent to the Tiandu Temple, merit boxes that are more than half a person high can be seen everywhere along the road, and the believers do not hesitate to throw silver and copper coins into them, and then respectfully write their names in the merit book.

Tiandu Temple is extremely busy, and thousands of Taoist priests are making final preparations for the Jiao ceremony.

Only inside and outside the Temple of Heaven was silent, and the Taoist priests on duty here were all silently on alert.

This place has been classified as a forbidden area since last night, and no one is allowed to enter or leave unless they have an edict from Tianhai Zhenren.

As a result, the huge Fengtian Temple looked unusually empty and deserted, and only the awnings that had been urgently erected last night sounded softly in the wind.

Tianqiu stands majestically in the center of the Temple of Heaven, and even the darkness and drizzle cannot hide its brilliance.

In the gorgeous and solemn apse, Qing Tianzhao stepped on the jade bricks on the ground and paced back and forth, like a beast with a hideous face, which could explode at any time.

Hai Mingyue's hands and feet were tied to the base of the statue of the founder of the Heavenly Daoist Sect, her cheeks were flushed and she glared at Qing Tianzhao angrily, and her mouth was stuffed with a ball of linen cloth from nowhere, and she couldn't speak.

She returned to Tianduguan yesterday, originally to discuss with her grandfather and father about exposing Qing Tianzhao. Who would have thought that this hypocrite would have the audacity to return to the temple and squat first, and catch her again while he was unprepared.

At this moment, it was obviously a lot of trouble to find a place to imprison Hai Mingyue in the Tiandu Temple, but Qing Tianzhao knew the situation inside the gate well, and he did not hesitate to bring Hai Mingyue to Tianqiu.

From last night to today's dawn, this place happens to be the only blind spot on the vigilance of Tiandu Temple.

Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Hai Mingyue never changed her original intention, she refused to identify Ji Chengqing, and Tianhe was really nowhere to be seen, Qing Tianzhao couldn't help but be anxious and angry.

"Mingyue, why don't you understand? Ji Chengqing, he is a vicious wolf that Ji Tianquan used to deal with this sect, if he is not removed, he will soon become a big trouble for the Heavenly Dao Sect, and the catastrophe of this sect is not far away!"

He said patiently: "I am completely for the purpose of safeguarding the interests of this sect, although I have used some means, it is not above board, but it is a painstaking world to learn. Mingyue, you are the granddaughter of Uncle Hai, at the moment of life and death, can't you make some sacrifices for the sake of this sect?"

Hai Mingyue's meridians were restrained, and he couldn't move with a sackcloth stuffed in his mouth, but the anger and contempt in his eyes made Qing Tianzhao's heart cold.

Qing Tianzhao gritted his teeth and couldn't help but move the killing machine - this little slut turned her elbow outward, as long as she died, the whole thing would be dead without proof, Ji Chengche couldn't say it clearly even if her whole body was her mouth, she didn't have to do it yourself when the time came, Hai Dongqing would also fight with him to the death.

However, when it was time to start, Amaterasu cringed again.

Hai Mingyue saw the fierce light in Qing Tianzhao's eyes, and when he saw it, he knew that he was jumping off the wall in a hurry, and he was afraid in his heart and couldn't help but struggle desperately.

"Don't move!" Qing Tianzhao held Hai Mingyue with his hand and said in a low voice: "Don't force me to kill you!"

When the words fell, there was a slight sound from the front hall of Tianqiu, which frightened Qing Amaterasu's soul and shouted, "What person?"

There was silence all around, no one answered, Qing Tianzhao stood up straight as a thief, suspicious, and suddenly felt as if there was someone behind him.

"Who!" Qing Amaterasu turned around suddenly, his palms protected in front of his chest.

Yan Kui's figure suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, although he changed into a robe, this person always looked like a ghost.

"Is that you?" Qing Tianzhao breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in surprise: "What are you doing here?"

Yan Kui didn't speak, and suddenly leaned out and pointed at the middle point of Zhongqing Amaterasu's chest.

Qing Tianzhao couldn't take precautions, and said in amazement: "You ......" His body was weak, and he was fainting at Hai Mingyue's feet.

Hai Mingyue didn't know this Taoist priest with a gloomy face, and she couldn't guess whether the other party was friend or foe.

Yan Kui's gaze turned to the entrance of the passage between the front hall and the back hall of Tianqiu, and said indifferently: "It's all here, why don't you show up and see it?"

The words fell, and three figures appeared at the entrance of the passage one after another, it was Ji Chengqing, Lin Yin and Tang Xueluo.

The three of them used the invisible sand to sneak into Tianqiu, and they were about to subdue Qing Tianzhao by surprise to save Hai Mingyue, but they saw Yan Kui take the first step against Qing Tianzhao, and also broke the three of them.

Ji Chengche has never seen Yan Kui, but this fake Taoist priest is extremely similar to Zhong Li in terms of appearance and temperament, but his cold and ruthless aura is far beyond the former, thinking of the tragedy he saw in Xiaguan yesterday, guessing that he must be Yan Kui himself.

Tang Xueluo said calmly: "But your Excellency used paper pills to summon us to the Temple of Heaven?"

Yan Kuimu said expressionlessly: "I was originally looking for Ji Chengqing alone, but it is better for the three of you to come together." ”

Lin Yin glanced at Qing Tianzhao, then turned his gaze to Hai Mingyue, and bowed slightly to her to show comfort.

Hai Mingyue saw the care in Lin Yin's eyes, although she couldn't speak, there was already a surprise in her heart, and she looked at him and winked vigorously to show that she was fine.

Ji Chengche's brain teaser was in a hurry, but no angle could perfectly raid Dou Kui, and 100% guaranteed Hai Mingyue's safety.

He calmed down and asked, "What is Your Excellency looking for me?"

Yan Kui said: "It's very simple, I want to make a deal with you. ”

Ji Chengche smiled and said, "Your Excellency jumped up and down and tried your best to lure me here, it must be a big deal, I would like to hear it." ”

Yan Kui said coldly: "I want to use Hai Mingyue to exchange someone with you." ”

"Zhong Liqing?" Ji Chengche had no doubt about his identity at this moment.

Tang Xue said: "Mr. Yan, Zhong Liwei has been sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, it seems that you should find Your Majesty to ask for talent." ”

Yan Kui sneered and said, "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, how can you take care of a country grass like me? ”

Speaking of which, how could anyone present not understand?

Ji Chengche shook his head and said: "I don't do a loss-making business, I have a lot of princes, but there is only one Zhongli Emperor, and my father may not be willing to exchange him for my life." ”

Yan Kui said coldly: "If this is the case, then I can only blame you for your bad life and being born in the ruthless emperor's family." ”

Lin Yin said lightly: "Although your cultivation is high, you may not be able to leave with the sea girl." ”

Yan Kui said coldly: "If the deal can't be negotiated, what's the use of keeping her? I killed this girl with one palm, you see if the old man can go or not." ”

Hai Mingyue whined and motioned to Ji Chengche and the others with her eyes, don't agree to Yan Kui's request because she is afraid of herself.

Ji Chengche pondered for a moment and asked, "Can I think about it a little longer?"

Yan Kui sneered: "If Your Highness wants to use the strategy of delaying the army, it is very avoidable. This place has been sealed by me, and even the most disturbing thing is difficult for outsiders to notice. ”

Lin Yin said suddenly: "You let the sea girl go, I'll go with you." ”

Ji Chengche shook his head and said, "What he wants is me, and everyone else gives it for nothing." Give me half a pillar of incense to think about it, it's a big deal that I'll be a hostage for Miss Hai. ”

Tang Xueluo was startled and was about to speak, but saw Ji Chengche smile at her: "Don't worry, I think I will have a way to help Mr. Yan solve the problem." ”

He walked to the offering table, picked up a handful of incense, lit it, held it in his hand, and bowed three times to the statue of the founder of the Heavenly Taoist Sect.

Yan Kui said with a calm face: "It's too late for you to think about praying to the gods and worshipping immortals at this time. ”

Ji Chengqing was as if he hadn't heard it, holding the burning ambergris in his hand and pacing slowly in the hall, his brows tightly locked, as if it was difficult to decide.

Before he knew it, he walked to the corner and crouched down, absentmindedly tapping his fingers on the bricks on the ground.

"Knock knock, knock knock......" knocked a few times, and a hollow sound came from under the bricks.

Suddenly, Ji Chengqing's left hand sucked a square brick from the ground with a "sigh" sound, and before others could understand what was going on, he pursed his lips and let out a breath.

"Uhh

"What are you doing?" Seeing that the situation was not good, Yan Kui waved his sleeves and whipped out a bone-chilling wind to extinguish the flames.

Although Lin Yin and Tang Xueluo didn't know what Ji Chengche was doing, they didn't want to intercept it when they saw Yan Kui attacking.

"Keng!" First, Lin Yin's primordial ancient sword swept through the air like a bolt of lightning, slashing down on the surging sleeve wind.

"Bang!" Tang Xue couldn't run the Heaven-defying Destiny Disk, so he directly pinched the magic seal with both hands and released a Thousand Rock Fire Mantra.

But Yan Kui's cultivation is really unfathomable, compared to Zhong Li, who is known as one of the shadows on the left and right, he doesn't know how many people are smart.

His sleeve wind swept through like a river of ice, colliding with Lin Yin's primordial ancient sword, and then bombarding the Thousand Rock Fire Spell flying in the sky.

"Woo-" The crimson flame mountain suddenly cracked, turning into thousands of flowing flames surging towards the corner of the wall along the wind, adding to the fire!

"Snort-" It was too late, Ji Chengche had already succeeded in igniting the fuse buried under the bricks, and a cluster of golden-red flames quickly burned along the end of the line and extended into the ground.

"Bang!" he raised his arms and palms to block the wind and fire, his body staggered against the wall behind him, put aside the ambergris in his hand, and smiled at Yan Kui: "If I count to ten, this place will explode, even if you can't be killed, you will definitely be able to attract the Taoist priest in the view." No matter how high your cultivation is, you may not be able to resist the siege of the masters of the Tianzi generation. Either leave Hai Mingyue behind, or we will all die together. ”

"Keng!" the fetal god sword dragon groaned out of its sheath, and the blade was pointed at Yan Kui. (83 Chinese Net.)
