This chapter is from last night.
Jiang Tian couldn't help but turn his head and take a look, but he saw a young girl with snow-skinned skin and peach cheeks, picturesque eyebrows, lop-eared hair and a skirt that reached to her chest. She was full of classical beauty. But when she saw Sui Jiang Dan turning around, behind the mask of Yama with the five-color horn crown, she couldn't help but was so frightened that she took several steps back and fell to the ground.
However, when her eyes were full of tears and she was about to cry on the spot, she discovered that on the tower in the corner of the city, the man in the mask of ghosts and gods standing in the sky facing the moon had disappeared without a trace, as if he was not there at all. Nothing has ever existed. Then a voice sounded:
"My little master, why are you alone again and running to this corner to look at the moonlight?"
"Didn't Qian explain it or Wan asked it? There are some uneasy things in the city recently. Don't leave everyone's eyes."
"If you are a good person, please teach me how to explain to my superiors! Oh my, why are you still sitting on the ground?"
"It will make you all dirty. It will not look good in front of everyone later. Come and change with me quickly..."
"The ground is so cold here, why can't you sit up and get up! What if you get sick?"
She talked a lot, but she was a middle-aged woman in palace attire. Although she was almost 40 years old and there were wrinkles on her forehead and at the corners of her eyes, she could still see some of the charm and beauty of her youth.
"Nanny, I saw gods and demons," the sluggish girl suddenly said:
"Gods and demons? Well, I know those miscellaneous books brought by the little girl are not good things. No, you have been thinking about it day and night." The middle-aged woman was stunned and said:
"Emma, I really saw it. Just now, he disappeared. Eminem, my feet are so weak that I can't get up." The girl then continued in a soft voice:
"What? My little master, please don't scare me, I... I... am very afraid of ghosts!" Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman's expression changed and she quickly helped the girl up and held her in her arms. Somewhat tremblingly:
"Emma, I want to take a look again." The girl begged again:
"Goodbye, little master, I am too timid to see this thing." The middle-aged woman waved her hands quickly and said:
However, after helping the girl walk a certain distance, her eyes suddenly became complicated, and then her expression changed and she shouted: "Then...then...what is it?"
"..."
The girl couldn't help but tilt her head when she heard the words, and looked towards the edge of the city battlement, only to find that there was nothing except the clear moonlight and light clouds. However, the next moment, she was lifted up by the armpits from behind and pushed forward forcefully away from the city wall; like a fledgling bird with broken wings falling down.
And just above where she fell, the woman's exclamation suddenly sounded: "My dear, don't climb too high! My dear, please come down quickly...". Amidst the howling wind, the girl seemed to understand something all of a sudden. She looked at the ground getting closer and closer and closed her eyes.
The next moment, the severe pain and impact she was afraid of did not come; instead, in a warm embrace, her whole body suddenly floated lightly. Until she slowly opened her fan-like eyelashes, she saw a green face of Yama with a five-color horn crown, and she couldn't help but said quietly:
"Have I... arrived in the underworld?"
"No, not yet. But it's almost there." Behind Yan Luo's green face, a particularly reassuring voice said: After a moment, she was placed on the solid ground, and she felt the remaining residue on her body with a sense of loss. The temperature, and a whisper in the wind: "Remember, good children don't go to dangerous places."
The next moment, as the gate tower of the palace wall of Furong Garden was opened in the distance, the sound of a large open fire holding a staff came towards the base of the wall where she was, striding quickly towards her. And this unexpected episode did not affect Jiang Tian's mood to continue his night walk.
Compared with the previous jumping up and down between buildings, this time with the traction of "guidance" and the short-term weightlessness of the "field", it can float and fly for a long distance without a building to stay. The distance is another different kind of experience.
It is said that deep in everyone's bones, there is an innate desire to escape the constraints of gravity, even if it is only temporary. After soaring like a bird, Jiang Tian found that he was no exception. You know, he also tried parachuting and air landing.
Therefore, in the following time, while Jiang Tian was flying around the city, he was also trying to get familiar with his new abilities, and began to challenge his maximum volley leap limit. Finally, it was confirmed that the most suitable leap distance for him was between two hundred and five hundred steps.
Of course, by continuously consuming energy reserves at any cost and constantly switching and alternately using abilities, this distance can be extended by two or three times; but that's all. He couldn't even take a night tour of the Imperial City or the Daming Palace. The most he could do was barely escape from the Xingqing Palace.
Not long after, the river breeze came in the wind and landed on the eaves of the tenth floor of the iconic Sambhogakaya Pagoda of the Great Qinglong Temple; he began to overlook this building shrouded in the night, with lights everywhere, occupying It is a tantric temple with vast grounds and a series of palaces and pavilions.
Especially among the large main palaces distributed along the north-south central axis, which are brightly lit, illuminating the vaguely tall and solemn treasures. Even in the dead of night, you can still hear the Sanskrit singing array and the sound of magical instruments, which makes it seem a bit solemn and detached from the hustle and bustle of the world.
However, Jiang Tian was not very interested in them. He just turned around slightly and arrived at the highest level under the red gold treasure roof. This is also a restricted area of Daqinglong Temple that is not open to the public on weekdays, even for the vast majority of monks in the temple.
Because, here are the Buddha bone relics that were searched for and recaptured from foreign countries one after another when Liang Gong's men conquered the South China Sea and the five directions of Tianzhu. It was originally said that there were one hundred and eight thousand pieces, and except for some that stayed in Tianzhu, they were all welcomed into major temples in Central China.
The Daqinglong Temple, which is part of the Tang Mi family, is no exception. It cost a considerable amount of money to acquire a unique piece of the top bone of the Buddha. It is said to be shaped like glass, and the sun shines at the right angle during the day. When it falls, it will shine like a rainbow and come to the world.
Therefore, in daily life, except for taking it out on specific days to receive public offerings from devotees; or entering the palace to hold large-scale Dharma gatherings according to orders, basically even the vast majority of the monks in this temple are rare and rare existences. .
However, after Jiang Tian entered for a moment, he couldn't help but exit with a look of disgust. Because, although the small stupa dedicated to worship and the several layers of gold and jade treasure letters inside seem to be ingenious and dazzling, the real owner inside is a bit disappointing.
Because it looks like a piece of sardonyx with a slight bone pattern and jade luster. It is just a piece of glass three fingers wide. It is not enough to use it to comb your hair. In the eyes of a modern person like Jiang Tian, they are not much better than the products in the Longgang trinket distribution market.
The only thing worthy of praise is that the silver box the size of a harmonica in the innermost layer is made of aluminum alloy that is not the same as the aviation skin that appears in this world. It can be seen how the monks and believers headed by the Daqinglong Temple were taken by the time traveler. Seniors, it’s miserable to be exploited and blackmailed.
However, when Jiang Tian walked out again, he found that in the surrounding courtyard around the tower, there were suddenly faint sounds of people and swaying and flickering lights coming here; it seemed that Jiang Tian was opening the treasure letter and aluminum box. At that time, he accidentally triggered the alarm mechanism in the tower.
Then, Jiang Tian even saw a dozen figures running fast; they jumped up from the ground like a falcon, landed on the top of the high wall and the tiled roof of the palace, and then continued to kick and stare at the special figures who were walking as fast as flying. exist. Obviously, the water in this era is deeper than he deserves.
But Jiang Tian, who just came over to take a look on a whim, had no interest in playing cat and mouse games with them. Under the short-term weightlessness of the "field" adding to itself, he turned to the side with the least lights and people, and easily stepped into the sky. He stood up and disappeared into the dark night.
When he continued to use his "guiding ability", he pulled himself away in a brief moment of floating in the air; or when he started falling again, he pushed himself past buildings; and he accidentally started to patrol the streets. The watchman who passed by seemed to have a suspicious reaction;
Youxian Temple, which he had explored in advance during the day, suddenly appeared in front of him. But behind the courtyard wall, there are several courtyards of different sizes and a rear garden that occupies less than half of the area; most of them are shrouded in quiet darkness. However, the next moment, he couldn't help but scream.
Because, compared to Jiang Tian standing on the Drum Tower in the northwest corner of Fang District and looking at the surrounding terrain. Someone had already taken the lead and entered Youxian Temple at night; they saw several swans rising and falling, easily climbed over the outer wall that was more than ten feet high, and landed softly inside.
What is this, a flower-picking thief with the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty, or a nocturnal thief? However, in the next moment, these intruders were eliminated one by one. As the lights on the path in the courtyard suddenly started to appear in the deep vegetation, two pairs of disheveled wild mandarin ducks ran away in panic.
When Jiang Tian saw this, he couldn't help but exclaimed that he was very interested, he really knows how to play; you must know that it is April, which is approaching the turn of spring and summer, and the night is still very cool. Isn't it particularly fun to be covered in sweat and night dew under such a huge scene?
Then, I saw two pairs of wild mandarin ducks running around separately. They were quickly chased and then fell to the ground. The two men among them seemed to want to sue for mercy or use their identities to threaten them, and then they were killed with a knife. Only two frightened women were left behind, escorting them to the inner garden.
However, Jiang Tian was not in a hurry to go down at this time, because he suddenly found that another group of people had arrived. However, these people were less skilled and had to lift each other up to cross the courtyard wall. After walking in from the back garden, they were shocked by the corpses and blood stains lying on the ground.
In an instant, there were several screams and miserable howls, enough to pierce the night sky: "Dead!" "Dead!" "So much blood"..., and then suddenly stopped, because there was a sudden rush at the door of the inner courtyard. Two murderers came out from behind, and they slashed at the head with a knife without making a sound.
And just like in response to these screams and screams, the back pavilion of the inner courtyard, which was the only one with lights on, suddenly burst into flames; there were figures running and dodging and women screaming and wailing. At this time, the long-awaited reminder finally appeared in Jiang Tian's field of vision.
The next moment, he stretched out his arms and jumped down, flying like a big bird like an arrow. The intruders and murderers who were chasing each other all over the back garden landed directly on the wart of the main hall in the inner courtyard. In the pavilion at the back, a woman with disheveled hair jumped out of the window and splashed a trail of blood on the tile surface.
