Chapter 373: Temple of Heaven Turmoil
In the end, under the rampage of Ming Bangwan, Xiao Xiaoqi and Li Jiuju still entered the palace, and even Xing Kui couldn't stop them.
After stepping into the palace, Xiao Xiaoqi found that the palace was a sunny scene, and there was no sign of rain.
This should be the effect of some kind of talisman array, only a wall away, the outside is a hazy drizzle, but the inside is a clear sky, but it has a different artistic conception.
But now is not the time to appreciate this, the main event is still on the side of the Temple of Heaven.
Ming Wanwan was very enthusiastic at this time, chattering non-stop, introducing the palace to Xiao Xiaoqi and them, and walking towards the Temple of Heaven for the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.
Xiao Xiaoqi and Li Jiuju didn't want to dampen Ming Wanwan's enthusiasm, so they listened honestly, but they were a little absent-minded.
Taking advantage of the fact that Ming Wanwan was talking to himself in front, Xiao Xiaoqi asked Li Jiuju softly at this time, "Daju, it's so troublesome for us to come in, and the rest of the Qishi Club shouldn't be able to get in." ”
Li Jiuju smiled quietly, "Don't worry, the other brothers have already lurked in, but the way they came in was different from ours." ”
"How is it different?" Even the snow warbler was a little curious, could it be possible to sneak in without the eyes and ears of the palace?
Li Jiuju smiled mysteriously and didn't say directly, "You'll know later." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi didn't ask, after all, there was a night tomorrow, and now it is inconvenient to say this, he also believes that Li Jiuju will make proper arrangements.
......
On the other side, Xing Kui couldn't stop them tomorrow, and he felt uneasy, so he hurriedly ran to report.
At the Temple of Heaven in the central square of the palace, unlike yesterday, it has been opened today, and at this time it is full of people.
As the first leader of Weitian's department, Dongfang Changgong was naturally there, but he was sitting on a high platform nearby and was responsible for keeping an eye on the scene and not letting accidents happen.
"My lord!" Xing Kui suddenly came.
Dongfang Changgong glanced at Xing Kui, "What's the matter?"
"Please surrender your lordship, but my subordinates failed to stop the ninth princess and let her bring in the holy daughter of Xuanyumen and the son of the king of Zhennan. Xing Kui explained the situation simply and directly.
After Dongfang Changgong listened, he didn't get angry, but frowned slightly, and then said, "Okay, just let her in, it's not necessarily a bad thing." ”
Xing Kui was a little worried, "One Xiao Xiaoqi is enough trouble, if the two of them join forces, I'm afraid it will be very tricky." ”
Dongfang Changgong shook his hand, "It's really tricky, but in Zhengtian City, the Holy Lord is the biggest, and it's not the turn of others to go wild...... And since we already know where the enemy is, then the initiative is in our hands. ”
Xing Kui still didn't understand, "What adults mean ......"
"At the right time, expose Lingqi's identity and force Xiao Xiaoqi to appear!"
"Yes!"
......
Xing Kui is one step ahead of Xiao Xiaoqi and they have to reach the Temple of Heaven, but it is only a matter of the front and back, Xiao Xiaoqi and they have now come to the Temple of Heaven.
Seeing that there were people on each floor of the Temple of Heaven at this time, Xiao Xiaoqi knew why the Temple of Heaven was set up in multiple layers, the higher the number of people, the lower the number of people, correspondingly, the higher the identity of the people who went up, until the top, that was naturally the location of Ming Bo Pang......
At this time, Xiao Xiaoqi's eyes widened again, and he suddenly saw his father Chopin, who was actually hanging on the top of the Temple of Heaven at this time, dying!
Xiao Xiaoqi clenched his fists, and suddenly there was an impulse in his heart to save people.
At this time, there were still people talking, "Who is the person hanging from the heights? How can he hang a person there?" ”
"You don't understand this, the Sacrifice to the Heavens, since it is a sacrifice to the sky, of course you need a sacrifice, it is said that that person is the biological father of the ancestor Xiao Xiaoqi, and it is appropriate to use it to sacrifice to the sky!"
When Xiao Xiaoqi next to him heard this, he was immediately furious and was about to go up to save people, but Li Jiuju stopped him.
Li Jiuju shook his head at Xiao Xiaoqi, he naturally saw Chopin's situation, but now is not the best time to make a move.
On the floor of the Temple of Heaven where Chopin was located, there were all big people, including many masters of the Spirit Master Hall and the Fu Priest Society, who were obviously deliberately guarding there.
Ming Wanwan noticed Xiao Xiaoqi's mood swings, "What's wrong?"
Li Jiuju smiled, "It's nothing, after all, this kind of scene is still rare, just sigh." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi also calmed down, since he has come, he is not in a hurry at this moment, or if he doesn't make a move, he must succeed!
At this time, there was an official presiding over the venue on the high platform who said loudly: "The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is about to begin, and everyone will be in place immediately!"
As soon as he spoke, the surroundings of the Temple of Heaven fell silent, and everyone quickly found their positions.
Ming Wanwan and Xiao Xiaoqi have different identities, so they naturally want to go to a higher place, but in order to accompany Xiao Xiaoqi and them, she chose to stay at the bottom.
At this time, the three of them came to the second floor of the Temple of Heaven, most of the people on this floor were some small officials, as well as some businessmen, and their status could only be said to be a little better than ordinary people.
Xiao Xiaoqi was very curious, when they reached the second layer, who were the people in the first layer, and could there be anyone with a lower status?
He looked towards the bottom floor, but saw that the first floor had the largest number of people, hundreds of people, and those people were dressed differently, some were dressed in sackcloth like farmers, some were dressed casually like inn runners, and some were dressed brightly like the red dust woman...... These should be civilians, but I didn't expect civilians to come to participate in the ceremony.
Ming Bangwan saw Xiao Xiaoqi's doubts, and then explained: "There are all kinds of people in the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, these are the good people specially selected by the Ministry of Rites, saying that it is to reflect the atmosphere of the dynasty and the people having fun, but in fact, they are looking for a full number." ”
Originally, there was still this theory, but it was probably a certain background to be selected.
Xiao Xiaoqi was thinking, and suddenly saw a few familiar faces, Zi Niang and Miss Mi'er were also in the crowd on the first floor at this time......
Xiao Xiaoqi quickly figured out something, and he glanced at Li Jiuju.
Li Jiuju nodded at Xiao Xiaoqi, the meaning was unclear, it was in this way that the Qishi Society infiltrated.
"Wow, it's that adult!"
"It seems that I can see a lot of legends today. ”
There was an uproar in the crowd, as if some big man had arrived.
Xiao Xiaoqi followed everyone's line of sight, but saw a masked man walking over, followed by a bunch of spirit masters, obviously his identity was not simple.
Ming Wanwan was also a little excited, "It's the Spirit Master Hall Master!"
Xiao Xiaoqi also recognized it, the Spirit Master Hall is the existence that rules all the Spirit Master Halls, as the hall master, Jing Tianxuan's status is unknown, in addition, there is a mysterious god organization behind Jing Tianxuan!
At this moment, Jing Tianxuan undoubtedly became the most eye-catching person in the audience, and there were many young people cheering, they should all be admirers of Jing Tianxue.
Seeing that Ming Bangwan was a little excited, Li Jiuju couldn't help but wonder, "Hey, it's strange, how do you seem to recognize him? You also put a sachet on him?"
Ming Wanwan first looked around and found that no one was paying attention, so she said to Li Jiuju proudly: "I just can't recognize the face, and it's not that I can't recognize the mask, of course I can recognize the hall master's mask." ”
Li Jiuju pursed his lips and couldn't help but strike: "Isn't it just a spirit master hall, look at your excitement, it's really unknowledgeable." ”
Ming Wanwan glanced at Li Jiuju, "What do you know, the hall master of the Spirit Master Hall is the first on the Ascending Dragon List, recognized as the first master, isn't such a person worthy of worship?"
"The first master, not necessarily, right?" Li Jiuju disagreed.
At this time, Jing Tianxue happened to pass by, and he slowly looked at Li Jiuju, obviously he heard Li Jiuju's words.
Jing Tianxuan's eyes were very sharp, and at the same time a little contemptuous......
Li Jiuju was not afraid at all, and confronted him in the face of natural selection.
Jing Tianxue squinted slightly, and then saw a strange light flash in his eyes...... The next moment, it seemed that some force was pressing towards Li Jiuju.
Li Jiuju frowned, and couldn't help but take a step back, but his body became heavier and heavier, and a strange force was pushing him back.
Jing Tianxue raised his eyebrows again at this time, as if he was a little surprised, he originally wanted to make Li Jiuju embarrassed, but he didn't expect this young man to hold on.
Out of competitiveness, Jing Tianxue's eyes became more and more calm, and at the same time, the power exerted on Li Jiuju became heavier and heavier.
Li Jiuju couldn't help but tense his whole body, fighting against this inexplicable force, he didn't believe in evil, he could still make a look scared away?
However, gradually, Li Jiuju's footsteps began to slide back, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead, and he couldn't hold it anymore unless he resisted with his true qi......
At the last moment, a hand suddenly put on Li Jiuju's back, Li Jiuju suddenly felt refreshed, and the pressure on his body was weakened to almost nothing.
He turned his head and saw that it was Xiao Xiaoqi who reached out and helped him block the oppression of natural selection.
Jing Tianxue was even more surprised at this time, he looked at Li Jiuju and Xiao Xiaoqi with interest, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
However, he only glanced at it one more time, and soon continued to walk up.
And the people around didn't react, obviously they didn't feel abnormal, although Li Jiuju felt quite long just now, but in fact, all this just happened in an instant.
Li Jiuju stared at Jing Tianxuan's back, his eyes were solemn, this is a terrible person......
"He must have used some means of mental oppression just now. Xiao Xiaoqi explained softly to Li Jiuju at this time, "He is already able to influence the aura of heaven and earth at will, so he can put pressure on you." ”
Li Jiuju nodded slightly, no wonder there was no spiritual power fluctuation.
Ming Wan realized it later, and only then did he notice the sweat on Li Jiuju's forehead, "Hey, Gouju, what's wrong with you?
Li Jiuju showed a cynical smile, "These people are so impetuous, they make Young Master Ben sweat." ”
"Cut, you're really pretentious, it's cool here. ”
Soon, Jing Tianxuan went away, and then there were big people who began to enter the market, causing some fluctuations, but compared to Jing Tianxuan, these are only small fluctuations, unless the emperor comes, there should be no one who can compare to Jing Tianxuan.
But it turns out that Xiao Xiaoqi was wrong...... It didn't take long for the crowd to start clamouring again.
Xiao Xiaoqi raised his eyes and saw a large group of dressed women coming, and the leader was the lord of the harem, the queen!
These women were supposed to be the concubines of the harem, but I didn't expect them to come to this kind of ceremony.
The queen also dressed up carefully today, and her appearance is naturally not much worse, plus she is wearing a phoenix robe, and she does have the spirit of the master's family.
The concubines behind her are also dressed up beautifully, but their clothes are still relatively low-key, perhaps because they are afraid of overshadowing the queen's limelight, or because they are participating in the ceremony, they should not dress too grandly.
However, with the appearance of these people, it is a beautiful scenery wherever they go, and it is not surprising that they can attract attention.
"What a bunch of fox spirits!" Ming Bangwan couldn't help but tease at this time.
Li Jiuju looked at Ming Wanwan with a smile, "It's rare, it's rare for the two of us to agree, I think one man is enough, why do you want so much?"
"Yo, how do you think that?" Ming Wanwan looked at Li Jiuju with questioning eyes.
Li Jiuju raised his head and held his chest high, "Isn't it strange? The men in our Zhennan Mansion have always been very single-minded, for example, my father." ”
"Come on!" Ming Wanwan didn't believe it, "People like you who run to Xinghualou every day are embarrassed to say that they are single-minded?"
Ming Wanwan's tone was full of sarcasm, and at the same time seemed to be a little angry.
Li Jiuju retorted: "Do you have to do that kind of thing when you go to Xinghualou?"
"Isn't it? Otherwise, what are you going to do there? Listen to music and drink?"
Li Jiuju smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked at Ming Wanwan with threatening eyes, "Am I going to listen to music and drink, don't you know......?" Shall we revisit the events of the previous night?"
Only then did Ming Bangwan remember that he had been to Xinghualou, and he was caught by Li Jiuju, "You...... You are not allowed to say it!"
Li Jiuju looked open-minded, "Oh, there are so many people today, is there a lack of exciting news, in that case, it will be even more lively." ”
"Gouju, you dare!" Ming Wanwan was directly anxious, jumped up and directly hooked Li Jiuju's neck, and at the same time covered Li Jiuju's neck to prevent him from speaking.
Xiao Xiaoqi and Xueying on the side quietly watched the two of them playing, with a faint smile on their faces, and they didn't bother them.
Xue Ying also whispered to Xiao Xiaoqi: "I suddenly feel that the two of them seem to be quite compatible, one is good enough, and the other is savage enough." ”
Xiao Xiaoqi nodded slightly, but said again: "However, the Daju that the Ninth Princess knows is not the real Li Jiuju after all. ”
"Ninth Princess, what kind of system are you?" At this time, a stern reprimand came.
Ming Wanwan and Li Jiuju looked up after hearing this, but saw that the queen was staring at them.
Ming Bangwan immediately jumped off Li Jiuju's body, but she didn't show awe, but crossed her waist and said to the queen: "I'm willing, can you manage it?"
The queen's face darkened, "As the saying goes, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, why can't the palace take care of it?" Besides, as a royal princess, you should know how to measure and always pay attention to your words and deeds!"
Ming Wanwan cut off, turned his head directly, and no longer bothered the queen, as if he was too lazy to talk to her.
The queen's face was naturally not good-looking, and in front of the public, Ming Wanwan's behavior made her more and more embarrassed, and even some concubines began to laugh snickering.
The queen suddenly felt that her majesty was offended, but she didn't get angry directly, but smiled indifferently, "It's understandable that the ninth princess is not convinced, after all, I have also experienced you as a young man, and you are somewhat rebellious, come, come with me, the imperial sister-in-law wants to talk to you well." ”
She said and stretched out her hand to Ming Wanwan......
Ming Wanwan looked surprised, can you bear it?
At this time, the queen took Ming Wanwan's hand, and then she was about to go up.
Ming Wanwan shook off the queen's hand, "No, I won't go up." ”
A touch of ruthlessness flashed in the queen's eyes, "Ninth Princess, stop messing around, with our identity, we shouldn't stay in this kind of place." ”
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Li Jiuju intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was very disdainful.
Li Jiuju's temper came up all of a sudden, and he took the initiative to hide Ming Wanwan behind him, "Also, the queen mother of this kind of place will die if she stays for a long time, you better leave quickly, otherwise you will die." ”
"Bold!" said the queen sharply, "what are you to dare to curse this palace?"
Li Jiuju was neither humble nor arrogant and said: "What am I? My father is the king of Zhennan, the general who protects the country, if it weren't for those soldiers, the queen mother really wouldn't even count things." ”
"You ......" The queen's anger just now seemed to explode at this time, "Come on, give me a palm!"
As soon as the order was given, several palace maids suddenly came up and raised their hands to hold down Li Jiuju.
But there is no need to think about the result, these palace maids can't catch Li Jiuju at all, let alone slap their mouths.
The queen was suddenly a little anxious, these people disobeyed her again and again, which made her, the queen, very unable to get off the stage, so many people around watched, if she couldn't hit Li Jiuju's face again, it would be a slap in the face.
Just when the queen was in a dilemma, a bunch of young people took the initiative to come out, but it was Qin Lei and them, "Queen Mother, I'll wait to help." ”
As soon as the words fell, Qin Lei and a group of people rushed towards Li Jiuju and wanted to hold him down.
Li Jiuju glared, he saw Qin Lei's eyes full of pride, obviously imperative.
It can be seen how much Qin Lei holds grudges, he jumped out as soon as he saw the opportunity, and with the queen to support him, he was not afraid of saving the night.
"Qin Lei, are you going to be nosy?" Li Jiuju naturally looked at Qin Lei unpleasantly.
Qin Lei said, "How can this be nosy? You disobey the queen, and dare to resist, you can't spare you!"
This time, Li Jiuju, who didn't use his true qi, was held down again, and then Qin Lei came up and slapped him.
Ming Wan was in a hurry, and hurriedly pushed Qin Lei away, "Stop fighting!"
The queen in the back said sharply: "Keep fighting, the little proton dares to disobey the palace, it's not too much to die!"
There were many court officials around, but they didn't dare to say anything, they could only say that Li Jiuju was too brainless, who was not good to provoke, and he had to provoke the queen?
And Qin Lei is more confident at this time, and he is not afraid of tomorrow, "Li Manzi, do you recognize your situation now?"
As he spoke, he crossed over to Ming Wanwan, raised his hand and wanted to hit Li Jiuju again......
At this moment, a hand reached over and grabbed Qin Lei's right hand, making him unable to fight.
Qin Lei suddenly felt that his right hand couldn't move, as if he was clamped by fine iron, he turned his head to look, but it was an ugly girl who grabbed him.
And this ugly girl is no one else, it is Xiao Xiaoqi, although it is not a good time to be exposed, but he can't let others bully them at will, the big deal is a big fight!
