At three o'clock in the morning, outside the Forbidden City.
Fudozi, Yandanzi and Liang Jingshuo finally arrived, but not surprisingly, they were stopped by the guards at the city gate.
And those responsible for guarding the city tonight are not only guards, but also guards in brocade.
"I am the Imperial Master Yan Danzi. I have something important to do. Please let me go as soon as possible!" Yan Danzi knew that things were urgent at the moment and it was not the time to be polite, so he immediately tried to clear a way with a rather stern tone.
"What? Imperial Preceptor?" The Jin Yiwei who blocked the door did not know Yan Danzi, but he knew the information that "The Imperial Preceptor, the Heavenly Protector and others have been missing for many days." At this moment, someone came out and claimed to be the Imperial Preceptor. And he wanted to enter the imperial city at night, so he didn't dare to ask for help. "Everyone, wait a moment, wait for me..."

"No need." Suddenly, a voice driven by internal force came from afar.
As soon as the words came, the body arrived.
But he saw that man running all the way from the city gate. He had great light skills and was as strong as the wind. In the blink of an eye, he was standing behind the city gate guard and the Jin Yiwei.
The person who came was none other than Yun Shili.
"I can testify that this is the Imperial Master, and the two beside him are also experts invited by the Holy One. Let them in quickly. I will take care of anything." Yun Shili didn't waste any words. As soon as he arrived at the scene He ordered his subordinates to let him go.
Although these soldiers did not have the opportunity to get to know the imperial master on weekdays, they naturally knew Yun Shili and the others. Since Brother Yun had spoken, they were free to obey whatever was left unsaid.
"Please." Two seconds later, the guards immediately stepped aside and made way for the three people on the horse.
When the three of them passed by on horseback, they just exchanged greetings with Yun Shili's eyes and didn't say much, because both parties knew that this was not the time to stop and say hello, every minute and second was important.
Some people may find it strange, how did Yun Shili come by such a coincidence? There are only four gates in the Forbidden City, as well as other small entrances and exits. How could he just pick up these three at this time and here?
In fact, the answer is not difficult to guess - it was Yuwei Daxian who told Yun Shili not long ago to come to this city gate quickly, otherwise it will be delayed.
So how did Tamao know that Fudoko and others would come here?
It's very simple. The night of the Zhongyuan Dynasty is when the power of demons, demons and monsters is at its peak. What Yuwei is good at is reconnaissance, so she was aware of the three people approaching the imperial city and promptly notified those who were patrolling elsewhere at the time. The clouds are released.
And Yun Shili's timely release really saved Fudozi and the others a lot of trouble.
If he didn't come, the three of them would have only two choices, either wait for the Jin Yiwei to run back and forth and bring a superior who knows the Imperial Master before letting them go, wasting their time in vain, or they could force their way in...
Some people may want to say, doesn't Fudo still have a piece of the "imperial gold medal" given by the emperor to the heavenly masters who protect the country? Doesn't that work?
Damn, that is what allows you to "do things conveniently" in the capital city. Will it work in the imperial city?
To take a step back, even if it was useful before, it won't be useful tonight.
Because tonight, Zhu Qi has ordered strict defenses inside and outside the Forbidden City: in addition to mobilizing the original Forbidden Army to strengthen the defense around his palace, he also made a garrison arrangement of "Jinyi Guards in the Outer City and East Factory in the Inner City" to organize these secret service agencies. All the elites were pulled out to work the night shift in the imperial city; what was even more outrageous was that Zhu Fu actually placed all the monks captured from Zhihua Temple into the Fengxian Hall and asked them to meditate and chant sutras all night long. The light is not allowed to stop.
There is nothing he can do. Who told you Taoists to disappear while playing with me? You first told me that there will be evil spirits coming to the Forbidden City on the night of the Ghost Festival, and then you went to Zhihua Temple and walked around. No one was there. What else can I do?
Fortunately, no matter what, at this last moment, Fuzi and the others still came.
Let's say that the three of them rode into the inner city and soon met a few people from Dongchang. Fortunately, there was also a stall owner present. He knew Yan Danzi. This guy saw that Guo Danzi, who had been missing for many days, The master came back. Although he was surprised, he was also relieved. After all, what they were doing in Dongchang tonight should have been the responsibility of the national master.
This man was also very smart, and quickly asked his subordinates to take off the waist tags temporarily issued for tonight, and gave them to the three Taoist priests. With this, they can move around the inner city at will.
Yandanzi took the badge and thanked the stall owner. While they were communicating, Fudozi took the time to do some calculations, and then said to Yandanzi and Liang Jingshuo: "Fortunately, Yan Danzi and I had made preparations a few days before we were trapped in Zhihua Temple, so we still have enough time... After I fully activate the 'Imperial City Formation' later, we will split up to defend each other. In one place, when the Zi hour comes, when the Yin Qi between heaven and earth is at its peak, the dead animals will enter the city. At that time, except for the 'Impermanent Tai Sui', the remaining five animals are the wood tiger, the big fire rabbit, Due to the influence of the formation, the longevity dragon, quail-headed sheep and pig are bound to only enter through the 'shengmen' corresponding to their respective fates, but we... just need to ambush at the predetermined location."
"Senior, where should we each guard?" Yan Danzi asked.
"The Tiger, the Big Fire Rabbit, and the Longevity Dragon all belong to the Wood Elephant Star category and must go to the Donghua Gate." Fudozi replied, "The Quail-headed Sheep belongs to the Fire Elephant Star category and should go to the Meridian Gate, while the Zhuzi Pig is the The water sign is Xingci, and it will walk through the Xuanwu Gate.”
When you see this, some people may want to ask, why doesn't Xihuamen spawn monsters? Didn’t you already think about guarding the four routes?
Then you might as well recall that when they set up the formation before, there were only eight or nine dead animals left. At that time, they had to be prepared for full defense on all four sides. After all, they didn’t know that they would be in Zhihua Temple later. During the battle, I encountered multiple dead animals, and I didn’t know which ones I would encounter and which ones I would destroy.
Now the Xihuamen Road is free, which is undoubtedly a good thing. The three of them are just enough to go to the third road.
"Needless to say, Donghuamen, I am responsible for the most dangerous route." Fudozi continued, "Yandanzi, you are good at using thunder spells to fight against the enemy. Thunder belongs to wood. As for the formation...your The formation belongs to earth; water generates wood, and earth controls water. You have the water sign in both aspects, so it is more suitable for you to go to Xuanwumen to deal with Zhuzizhu." He paused and looked at Liang Jingshuo again. , "Jingshuo, although your practice is shallow, but fortunately you still have a 'Pure Heaven and Earth Talisman' in your hand, and the quail-headed sheep will be handed over to you."
"Okay." Liang Jingxuan cupped his fists and raised his hands, "I will do my best."
After explaining this, the three of them followed Fudozi's arrangements and headed in three directions: east, north, and south.
At this time, there is still a quarter of an hour before midnight.
…………
At the same moment, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai also mounted their horses and ran on the road to the Forbidden City.
Since Qin Feng, Linghu Xiang and Lin Yuancheng were all seriously injured, and Yu Jianli and Tyrell were at the end of their strength after the fierce battle, only Sun was left among the group of people who could rush back to help. The two of them are Huang.
While the two were walking on the road, they were discussing about Fudoko's note.
"I told you a long time ago that the boy named Liang is indeed a young boy, so it's not my fault at all for releasing dead animals or anything like that!" Sun Yixie's speech was still so disappointing.
"Stop talking nonsense, you are just trying to explain away the blame by force." Huang Donglai did not accept his trick, "Even if Liang Jingxuan has a problem, it certainly does not exist in Yandengpo. If he had already If there is a problem, he would have released all the dead animals before he met us."
"Oh?" Sun Yixie followed his words, "You mean, he...had a problem before he came to the capital?"
"It's very possible." Huang Donglai said, "I just don't know whether he was transferred or blackmailed, or was subjected to some kind of mind control."
"Isn't that right? If he was transferred, possessed, or possessed by some kind of spell, wouldn't your uncle be able to tell?" Sun Yixie said.
"Didn't he see it? He even wrote a note to remind us." Huang Donglai said.
"That's not right." Sun Yixie was not being arrogant, he was being really cautious. "If he had noticed it a long time ago, why didn't he point it out or solve the problem? Instead, he pretended not to know and used it at this time. ...Give us a note?"
"What do you mean?" Huang Donglai asked doubtfully.
"Is it possible..." At this moment, Sun Yixie's expression changed slightly, and he made a very bold assumption, "The person in question is not Liang Jingxuan, but your senior uncle?"
