On February 2, the dragon raises its head.
The edict of the saint to grant Zen to Mount Xi has been spread all over the world, and there are still nine months until November.
On the top of Huashan Mountain, the Xiyue Temple is almost completed and wooden rafters are being laid. Although the construction period was tight, no one dared to mess around. The carpenters were still carefully carving the patterns on the window coffins.
The rooftop sacrificial platform is relatively difficult to build. It is extremely laborious to move the stones up the steep Huashan Road.
Xue Bai saw the construction process with his own eyes and believed that even if the interior of the rooftop was hollow, it would not matter. It could save a lot of materials and speed up the construction period.
When he first arrived in Huashan, the first thing he prepared was to recruit people. Next, he had to inquire and contact Lingtaicheng, who was in charge of this matter. But after contacting him, how could he make him cut corners and save materials?
The construction period will be delayed.
If the construction period of the rooftop sacrifice platform is too late, Lingtai Cheng will panic, and then there is a possibility of being persuaded. And once he cuts corners, Xue Bai can hold his hand and try to control him gradually.
The idea is set, just look for opportunities.
That day, after the rain and the sky cleared, Xue Bai and Li Bai visited Mount Huashan.
"When I came here, I saw more than a dozen giant pine trees here. I named them 'Pine Pillars,' but now they have all been chopped down to build the Xiyue Temple."
Li Bai said casually, and after a moment, he raised his hand, pointed at a huge rock, and said: "Fortunately, they can't knock this Hunyuan Stone."
Xue Bai looked up and saw water flowing down the rock wall. This was a small waterfall that could only be seen after rain. Although the water flow was small, it splashed down the cliff of Huashan Mountain and was quite impressive.
"Brother Taibai named every tree and stone on Huashan Mountain."
"I didn't name it blindly." Li Bai said with a smile: "According to legend, Nuwa quarried stones to mend the sky, and she chose this stone. However, it was stubborn and had no intention of mending the sky, so it was named 'Hunyuan'. Go and knock it and see. How hard is this rock?”
Xue Bai climbed up the giant rock and looked out. He saw a bridge on the mountain road below. Workers were carrying auxiliary materials across the bridge in an endless stream, like ants moving, which was a spectacular sight.
He then thought that if the bridge was destroyed at night, the Lingtai Prime Minister would come over in person in a hurry the next day.
We have a general idea for this matter, but the specific details and manpower have to be considered and discussed with Du Jin.
At this time, someone came from the bottom of the mountain and whispered to Xue Bai: "Mr. Lang, the second mother is here."
After a while, they looked around and saw a group of people carefully following the workers up the dangerous road in Huashan.
Li Bai had good eyesight and could spot several women among them at a glance, and joked: "I wonder if Sanlang is married?"
Xue Bai couldn't deny it, so he asked: "Where is Brother Taibai?"
Li Bai sighed and didn't reply. He just raised his hand and gestured with four fingers, indicating that they had been kissed four times.
He was very sensible. When he saw Xue Bai's family members coming, he went to find a Taoist from Zhenyue Palace to practice and let Xue Bai talk to his wife.
The reason for this is that Li Bai has actually noticed that Xue Bai is not willing to mention his life experience and background to him, and he does not force him. If Xue Bai does not tell him, he will not take the initiative to inquire.
Making friends is about fun.
Xue Bai faced Du Jin, stood there without saying a word, stretched out his hand and held her catkins.
"Why did you come up?"
"want to see you."
The two of them held hands and climbed up Mount Huashan, bypassed the East Peak, avoided the Xiyue Temple and the Tiantian Sacrifice Platform, and walked to a place on the edge of the cliff where the terrain was steep and high to look far away.
"Tired?"
"Yeah." Du Jin glanced at Xue Bai with some resentment, "My feet hurt like crazy."
"Sit over here."
Xue Bai wrapped her in his cloak and leaned against the rock wall.
During the movement, he kicked a few small stones and saw the stones rolling, rolling out of the rock wall and down the abyss.
The wind blew their clothes, as if they were going to be blown off the bottomless cliff and shattered into pieces.
"Well!"
Seeing this scene, Du Jin was frightened and hugged Xue Bai tightly.
Both of their hearts were beating very fast because they were frightened.
"Afraid?"
"Afraid." Du Jin said, "But I like it."
She put her hand into Xue Bai's arms and whispered: "Look, my palms are wet, but you are at such a high place, still like a stone."
"I came here every day to sit and think about things." Xue Bai said, "I named this place 'Si Guo Cliff'."
"What are you thinking about?" Du Jin asked, "Every time in the past, I knew what you were going to do, but this time, I don't know why you came to Huashan."
Xue Bai did not answer, but looked at the mountains and rivers silently with firm eyes.
Du Jin said: "Li Longji wants to enshrine Xiyue Mountain, saying that 'all the people will be safe and the frontier is peaceful', so if Nanzhao rebels, he will definitely not admit it. Are you here to prevent him from ennobling Zen?"
Xue Bai still didn't answer.
Du Jin said: "There are still nine months. We can stop it. You shouldn't come in person."
"Let him come." Xue Bai said: "We will kill him here."
Du Jin was stunned, his eyes fell on the edge of the cliff not far away, and he suddenly felt that his feet were weak and his whole body was weak.
It was rare that she felt so guilty. She was so frightened that she lost all her strength, and also lost her confidence and courage.
"I'm afraid...it won't work."
"Why not?"
"Why do we need to kill the king?" Du Jin said: "Our enemy is the East Palace. If Li Longji is alive, we will have more time to save."
"Anlushan is about to rebel, Nanzhao is about to rebel, and they are in a critical situation, but the faint king still refuses to wake up... I can't wake up this man who is pretending to sleep. Killing him is the last chance to stop the rebellion."
Xue Bai looked at the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers with firm eyes.
He knew that regicide was difficult, but the experience of the past two years convinced him that if Li Longji did not die, there would be no way to avoid the Anshi Rebellion.
In fact, he vaguely felt that even a different emperor might not be able to stop the Anshi Rebellion. But at least he won't be as arrogant and selfish as Li Longji, who trusts An Lushan to an unshakable level.
If the Tang Dynasty is like a carriage being driven towards the cliff, Li Longji is the leading crazy horse. When he could no longer drag the carriage, Xue Bai decided to kill the crazy horse first no matter what.
At that time, no one could understand his mood. This time, even Du Jin felt that this plan was too crazy.
But her first reaction was not to dissuade Xue Bai, but to hug him and kiss him.
Facing the abyss, the two kissed like this for a long time.
Finally, Du Jin whispered: "I also want to be as crazy as you, but I can't do it this time."
"I know." Xue Bai said, "At least try."
"But I don't think the situation has reached the point where regicide is necessary."
"It's enough to believe in me." Xue Bai smiled and said, "Until the saint dies, there will be no more robbers."
~~
The next morning, Du Jin woke up early.
The bed she slept on last night was too hard for her, and with the worry hidden in her heart, it was really difficult to fall asleep.
Turning his head to look, Xue Bai was still sleeping, lying on his back, his brows full of heroic spirit.
She felt severe pain all over her body, so she thought to herself that she was the only one willing to agree to kill the king together for Xue Bai. The decision she made due to the temptation of men's lust might not be possible...at worst, they would die together.
But when Xue Bai woke up, his eyes still showed determination.
"Even to our confidants, we only say that Nanzhao will rebel and the border will be uneasy, so we must stop the saint from conferring Zen on Xiyue as soon as possible."
"yes."
"Find a craftsman who is good at repairing bridges, and then send people to demolish the upper bridge at night. When the mausoleum prime minister arrives, let our craftsmen approach him and relieve him."
"This matter is easy to handle." Du Jin asked, "Are you planning to tamper with the Tiantian Temple?"
"Yes, but we still have to wait for news about Li Xiazhou in Shouyang Mountain."
"There are still nine months. It doesn't matter if you and I discuss the details. But what if... what if it really happens?"
"Zhang Bian." Xue Bai said, "Once the matter is completed, I will meet with him alone in the name of supporting his appointment as prime minister, send people to restrain him, and force him to testify that Li Heng is the mastermind behind the scenes. He and Li Heng are on good terms. , what we said is credible. In this way, we unite with Ge Nu to attack the unprepared, depose Li Heng, and help Li Cong ascend the throne. When the time comes, make Zhang Bian retract his confession and accuse Ge Nu and An Lushan of colluding to kill the king. …”
"We don't have enough force."
"Chen Xuanli will accompany him to grant Zen, and a man from Huashan will be in charge. In the name of arresting the murderer, fifty people are fully armed, which is enough to trap Chen Xuanli on the top of Huashan. To win over Guo Qianli, you can try to persuade Chen Xuanli to support Li Cong."
"There is another question. If Li Cong ascends the throne, will he fall out?"
"He didn't dare until Nanzhao was pacified. He needs the reputation of me and the teacher."
When Du Jin heard about this, he was still upset.
It wasn't until she started to stop thinking about the scene when Feng Chan was at Mount Xi and put her mind back on the preparations she needed to make now that she gradually became less anxious.
It was not difficult for her to deal with a small mausoleum chief. On the ninth day of February, she arranged for three people to get close to each other. At the same time, she took action from time to time to cause trouble for the construction of the sacrifice rooftop and delay its construction period. .
By mid-February, they bribed three officials and began to supply all the bronze utensils needed by the Xiyue Temple.
Because the copper dealer who originally made the deal was reported for illegally minting coins, he no longer dared to take over the matter.
Things are difficult, but I can only say, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
~~
"What a 'go to the country with your sword, leave your relatives and travel far away'!"
In Huayin County, in a carriage, a beautiful woman in her thirties heard the servant's report and muttered dissatisfiedly: "She said she was going to Chang'an to seek an official position, but she came to Huashan to enjoy the mountains and rivers."
"Madam, please calm down. Although Alang is...actually thinking about madam, he left a message at the guest house, saying that if madam arrives, you don't have to go to Chang'an and will wait for him to come down in Huayin."
"Mountain climbing."
The beautiful woman in the car looked pampered, but acted very decisively. She immediately turned the car around and headed south to Huashan.
When she arrived at the foot of Huashan Mountain, she got off the car and climbed up. She looked up at the steep peaks towering into the clouds before her, but she was not afraid at all. She ordered her servants to prepare for the climb.
Several female crowns came out of the Immortal Palace not far away. One of them was arranging for someone to inquire about the news. He glanced here and walked over.
"But... Tajun?"
The beautiful woman turned around and said in surprise: "Xiaoxian? Why are you here?"
"Tiankongzi, who is this?"
"Introducing you, Zong Duojun, she is my uncle's granddaughter, one generation younger than me. Also, she is Li Taibai's wife; this is my fellow senior sister, Ji Lanzi, who has excellent poetry."
Li Jilan couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, and stepped forward to salute: "I have met the lady, and I have admired her reputation as a poet for a long time."
Zong Duojun said hurriedly: "Ji Lanzi doesn't need to be polite. Speaking of which, I am a generation younger than Xiaoxian, and we usually get along with each other as equals."
The three women soon held hands and talked, and they were so happy that Zong Duojun even forgot about going to find her husband.
"By the way, why did you come to Huashan?"
"It's not that Li Taibai." Zong Duojun said, "We were going to live in seclusion in Lushan Mountain. After he got a letter from a friend, he went to Chang'an to seek an official position. When he arrived in Songzhou, he stayed at my mother's house for only more than ten days and he couldn't stay. I'm used to it. If you insist on going alone to Chang'an, I have no choice but to chase you."
"What about him now?"
"Just above Mount Hua."
Li Tengkong and Li Jilan looked at each other and realized that Xue Bai had not separated from Li Bai. Probably because of Li Bai's extensive friendship, he actually found a place to live on Mount Huashan.
"Then let's climb Mount Huashan with you, shall we?"
"This mountain is high and dangerous. How can you two ladies climb it?"
"It doesn't matter. We are Taoists, so we should go to famous mountains and look for immortals."
In this way, the three of them climbed Mount Huashan together.
Li Jilan looked at Zong Duojun with admiration and said, "It's really remarkable that Duojun is willing to travel thousands of miles for Mr. Taibai."
"Is it because of him?" Zong Duojun said, "I also like to visit Mingchuan Mountains."
Li Tengkong couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
Zong Duojun scolded her and said, "Why are you laughing?"
"I don't dare to laugh at you, but I admire you and remember your story of 'buying a wall for a thousand dollars'."
Li Jilan couldn't help but be very curious, and quickly urged Li Tengkong to speak.
"Do you know how Duojun married Li Taibai?"
"Say it quickly, say it quickly." Li Jilan liked hearing about these marriage matters the most, and even forgot to pay attention to the dangers on the road to Huashan Mountain.
"That must be the third year of Tianbao, right? Li Taibai passed through Luoyang and went to Liangzhou and Songzhou. He and his friends played in Liangyuan. After drinking for three times, he wrote a poem on the pink wall. Not long after that, Duojun saw this A poem.”
"yes."
Zong Duojun was not ashamed, and sang openly: "I floated on the Yellow River to go to Jingque, and hung up on the banquet to enter Bolian Mountain..."
This is "Liang Yuan Yin". The poem is very long. It is difficult for Zong Duojun to recite it word for word.
"That year, he had just been released from the Imperial Academy with a gold medal, and he was depressed. When I first read his poem, I saw a feeling of depression and dejection. I guess, anyone who encounters such a thing would be depressed. But this Li Taibai was different. Later in his writing, he became more and more passionate. In the abandoned Liang Garden, he also wanted to drink and sing, and he wanted to make a comeback like Xie An."
Zong Duojun said, a smile appeared on his face.
"I was thinking at the time, this person is really... a crazy person. But this crazy person has an unquenchable fire in his heart."
Li Tengkong looked at her smile and was stunned.
"So, Dajun bought that wall back."
"Did you buy the wall back?" Li Jilan was surprised.
Only then did she realize that she might be able to buy the four walls of the Lantian Inn.
"It's not that I admire him," said Lord Zongduo, "it's that his poems didn't catch the eyes of the owner of Liangyuan, and the servants wanted to wash them away. I love talents, so I just paid for the wall."
Li Tengkong suddenly felt a little envious.
She envied Zong Duojun's courage, who dared to love and hate. He liked the poems on the wall and spent a lot of money to buy them. He liked Li Taibai and married them. Unlike her, he was as timid as a mouse.
Li Jilan was thinking that she also "loved talents" for Xue Bai, right?
Climbing halfway up the mountain, they looked back and saw a large group of people riding horses and rushing to the foot of Huashan Mountain, raising smoke and dust.
Li Tengkong couldn't help but worry, maybe these were the men sent by An Lushan to kill Xue Bai...
~~
That day, Xue Bai and Li Bai were strolling in the library of Zhenyue Palace.
Du Jin followed them and suddenly saw several volumes of "Book of Han" on the shelf. With a thought in his mind, he took them down, opened them and looked at them, and found "The Biography of Zhang Liang".
"Han Po, there are three hundred boys from Liang's family, but his younger brother is dead and not buried. He uses his family wealth to ask a guest to assassinate the King of Qin... The powerful man is an iron vertebra weighing one hundred and twenty kilograms. The Emperor of Qin traveled east to the Bolang Sands, and Liang and his guests sniped. Emperor Qin accidentally hit the passenger car."
Du Jin read it back and forth several times, but could not find the details of Zhang Liang's assassination of Emperor Qin in Bolangsha.
With Zhang Liang's ability, he failed to assassinate the emperor, which made her a little worried.
The next moment, Xue Bai came over, held her hand, and calmly put the volume of "Han Shu" back.
"Don't panic." He whispered soothing words in her ear.
Du Jin was infected by his calmness and confidence, nodded and said, "Okay."
She took one last look at the "Book of Han" and thought that a few years after Bolangsha, Qin Shihuang died and the world was in chaos. After all, it was Zhang Liang who stabilized the world.
In the evening, Li Bai was half drunk and half awake, holding a book and leaning on the rock to read. He was as leisurely and comfortable as those tired birds returning to the west in the sky.
Xue Bai and Du Jin walked to the east peak and looked at the Xiyue Temple in the distance.
"I have to go down the mountain. Arrange more manpower and mobilize more money." Du Jin said, "I don't dare to do it without you around."
"You dare." Xue Bai said, "Just because I am by your side, you think you don't dare. But in fact, you are more powerful than you expected."
"You know what? I'm starting to think we might... make it happen."
"We just try our best, success or failure is something that comes later."
As he said that, Xue Bai looked at Xiyue Temple and thought, the next step is to try to go in and take a look.
It's still early before Feng Chan, and there are almost no guards on the top of Huashan Mountain. However, it is still a bit troublesome to enter an important place like Xiyue Temple without attracting attention.
At this time, Li Bai and a woman walked hand in hand.
Xue Bai then stepped forward to greet them. When he saw two female crowns following behind them, he smiled slightly bitterly.
"Xue..."
Li Jilan was very happy and was about to call out, but saw that Xue Bai had already indicated with his eyes that his identity should not be revealed for the time being.
~~
At night.
Everyone was on the top of Huashan Mountain, drinking wine and making wine orders to the moon.
Xue Bai's identity may not be concealed sooner or later, but at least for now, Li Tengkong and Li Jilan are willing to pretend that they only know him. In this way, they seemed more comfortable with each other.
After the banquet was over, Li Bai was a little drunk and was supported by Zong as he walked in front.
Li Tengkong whispered to Xue Bai, "I have something to tell you."
"good."
"Then let's go first."
Du Jin then took Li Jilan's hand and walked towards Zhenyue Palace.
Li Jilan looked back frequently.
When she saw Xue Bai and Li Tengkong standing together, she remembered another thing.
A month ago on the Lantern Festival, Li Tengkong ran out after seeing the poem "Tears wet the sleeves of spring shirt" in Xue Zhai. At that time, she chased after him and clearly saw that the two people were... hugging each other?
"Don't look at it." Du Jin smiled, "I don't want them to stay together even more than you do."
…
The moon in mid-February is very full.
Li Tengkong looked up and said, "It seems like looking at the moon from Huashan Mountain, it's really closer."
She thought about hiking with Xue Bai at night in Shouyang Mountain.
Xue Bai actually thought of it too.
"I came here to tell you that An Lushan is going to send someone to harm you."
"Don't worry, I know."
"I know you know...so, maybe I shouldn't come." Li Tengkong said, "I just...meddle too much."
Xue Bai felt very guilty towards her.
But this is Huashan, and it is easy to overlook the mountains and rivers all over the world. So he was thinking that if he could prevent chaos in the world, he could protect many, many people, and Li Tengkong was also one of the people he wanted to protect.
In this way, the heart hardened again.
He walked in the direction of Xiyue Temple.
"I am more nosy than you." Xue Bai said, "I often feel that everything I do is nosy."
"You went to Huashan to play with Mr. Taibai, or to avoid trouble?"
Xue Bai said: "Guess?"
Li Tengkong said: "I don't know."
Ever since Xue Bai left the capital, she had always been flustered, thinking that he was in danger or planning to do something dangerous.
"The saint wants to enshrine Xiyue, but this kind of thing can only be done when the world is peaceful." Xue Bai said, "I think... the world is not peaceful."
"so?"
Xue Bai did not answer, but stopped.
Li Tengkong looked up and saw a magnificent palace standing in front of him.
This is the Xiyue Temple. In November, the saints will fast here and prepare to offer sacrifices to heaven and perform meditation.
"who?!"
A soldier from the front shouted: "This is a forbidden area, no casualties should come near."
"Let's go."
Xue Bai actually had other ways to get in. After thinking about it, he decided not to involve Li Tengkong.
However, Li Tengkong took a few steps forward, handed over a Taoist certificate, and said: "Princess Yuzhen's disciples come to make offerings to King Jintian."
"Golden King?"
"The Great Emperor of Xiyue is responsible for the creation of clouds and rain, the production of all things, the circulation of essence and Qi, and is beneficial to people, so he should offer sacrifices to the earth, and the mountains match the heavens. Don't you even know which deity the saint is offering sacrifices to when he is enshrined in Zen?"
"this……"
"You've read the ultimatum and you still won't let me in?"
"Please, who is this?"
"The officer escorting me."
"Here."
Li Tengkong waved his fly whisk and led Xue Bai into the Xiyue Temple with ease.
This place has not yet been put into use, and there is no one else inside. There are only empty palaces and rafters piled up in the courtyard.
The two walked towards the main hall. From a distance, they saw the moonlight shining from the roof without tiles and falling on the golden body of Emperor Xiyue. When Li Tengkong saw it, he stopped and walked to the side. Instead of going to the side hall, he walked into a side room.
"I know what you are going to do." Li Tengkong said: "If you want to stop Feng Chan and make the saint face up to Nanzhao, I can help you."
"How can you help me?"
"I just thought of a way. For example, maybe we can ask Emperor Xiyue to send an oracle?"
"It's useless." Xue Bai said, "I want you to bring a few words to your grandpa."
"What?"
"Not now, it's still early. You go back to Chang'an first. I will talk to you when necessary."
"You want to coax me to go back."
"I'm serious." Xue Bai said, "I said that I can deal with Li Heng with your grandfather, but the condition is that he must give up An Lushan. When that day comes, you may be able to save the Li family."
Li Tengkong said: "What day?"
"Be patient."
Li Tengkong suddenly frowned. His feet hurt badly from climbing the mountain for a whole day. He turned around and looked around, but there was no place to sit down.
This Xiyue Temple does not even have futons for the time being.
Xue Bai then took off his robe and placed it on the corridor, and said, "Will you sit down for a while? Let me take a look at the layout of this place. Oh, it's right there. You can see me, don't be afraid."
He pointed to a high place.
"Well..." Li Tengkong suddenly said: "On the Lantern Festival, I..."
Xue Bai was about to leave, but stopped.
He turned around and saw Li Tengkong standing there. He couldn't stand very steadily because of the pain in his feet, but he hadn't sat down in the corridor yet.
She went all the way from Chang'an to Huashan, really just to listen to Xue Bai talk about mundane matters?
What I really want to say is that I don’t know how to phrase it several times.
At this time, Xue Bai stepped forward and hugged her directly.
"On the Lantern Festival, you said that you occasionally think about..."
"Sorry," he whispered.
"I...don't mean to apologize..."
For a long time, Li Tengkong put his hands around Xue Bai's neck and stood on tiptoes.
The weight of her body rested on his shoulders, and his feet finally stopped feeling sore.
After a long time, it seemed like it was dawn.
Xue Bai raised his head and looked into the distance with some confusion.
Li Tengkong opened his eyes, wiped the tears on his face on his shoulder, and murmured to himself in confusion: "It's just dark, and it's dawn so soon?"
"Let's go!"
Xue Bai had already held her hand, pulled her and turned around to run away.
~~
"What's wrong?!"
Zong Duojun was sleeping deeply when he felt Li Bai sit up suddenly and was awakened.
Faintly, there was a noise outside.
"listen."
Li Bai sometimes stayed drunk for several days at a time, but in fact he had a very good drinking capacity and could sober up quickly when he wanted to.
Finally, he heard clearly what was shouting in the distance, and murmured: "Are you in trouble? Let's go quickly."
He stood up with his clothes on, regardless of other luggage, only carrying his long sword. After Zong Duojun changed his clothes, he took her out.
When we arrived at the courtyard, we saw many Taoists rushing out carrying water-filled utensils.
"Hurry! Xiyue Temple is flooded!"
Li Bai couldn't help but wonder, thinking that the Xiyue Temple had not yet been used, and there was not even a candle in it. How could it be lost?
He hurried outside the palace and saw Du Jin and Li Jilan coming out and asking what happened.
Li Jilan looked around in panic and said, "Teng Kongzi hasn't come back yet..."
"Duojun, take them to shelter for now." Li Bai said, "I'll go take a look."
"You have to be careful."
Li Bai patted Zong Duojun on the back, and at a glance, he noticed that Du Jin was the calmest among the people.
He couldn't care about this for the moment, and strode towards Xiyue Temple.
Ahead, fire was rising into the sky.
The wind on Mount Huashan was strong, which helped the fire and quickly enveloped the magnificent palace.
"wrong."
Li Bai rushed to the fire, looked up at the astonishing scene, and said to himself: "The fire started so fast?"
He grabbed a big man who was passing by and said, "Someone set the fire deliberately."
"Did you see that? Who are you?"
"Li Bai, Li Taibai."
"Did you set the fire?"
Li Bai was still looking for Xue Bai and Li Tengkong in the firelight. He was greatly surprised when he heard this. He turned around and saw a fierce face.
"What?"
"You were released by the saint, and out of resentment, you set fire to the Xiyue Temple."
Hearing these strange words, Li Bai laughed loudly and praised the other party: "Wonderful man, wonderful man, if I was drunk, I would really be able to do this."
"Then just explain it!" The other party suddenly shouted.
Two people rushed out from behind and held Li Bai down.
"Cover his mouth, keep quiet for now, and take him away!"
~~
The fire spread rapidly from the upwind to the downwind. If you were not in the middle of it, it would be hard to imagine that people would not be able to run as fast as they could.
Xue Bai looked back and saw a fire dragon that was blown out by the wind and swallowed up the rows of verandas.
He could only take Li Tengkong to escape to the lower wind outlet and escape from the Xiyue Temple through the south gate, but behind that was the rooftop sacrifice platform.
Suddenly, Li Teng, who had finally climbed Mount Huashan today, lost his footing and fell to the ground.
"I can't walk anymore, please leave quickly."
Before she finished speaking, Xue Bai picked her up and continued running.
The two of them turned around and saw that the fire dragon had rolled in front of them.
"Don't be afraid."
The next moment, Xue Bai covered Li Tengkong's eyes and rushed straight towards the fire dragon.
At this moment, what he was thinking about was not life and death, but he was very sure that someone set the fire deliberately.
who?
An Lushan? To burn him to death?
If he does not die, he will use this matter to get rid of An Lushan.
A wave of heat came over and the light was dazzling. Xue Bai hugged Li Tengkong and jumped hard.
When he opened his eyes again, the fire dragon was roaring angrily behind him, and in front of him was a towering sacrificial platform...
