The night gradually recedes.
In the distant sky, a flash of light appeared quietly.
Yaohua Palace, in the study.
Nangong Huoyue, dressed in a fiery red dress, had been sitting quietly at the table, as motionless as a stone sculpture, until dawn.
Soon, the morning sun rose slowly.
The golden morning light spilled in from the window lattice and fell on the red carpet, the table, her fiery red dress, and her delicate and majestic face.
A long time passed.
Her eyes moved, she came back to her senses, and looked out the window.
Immediately, she stood up, with her bare white and delicate feet, stepping on the velvet carpet, dragging her fiery red dress, and walked to the window, bathing in the morning sun.
That tall and graceful figure seemed to be coated with a layer of golden brilliance under the rising sun, hazy and beautiful.
Her appearance and figure are as good as any other woman in the palace.
However, whenever she thought of that person, she felt a little downcast.
but……
She finally gained the upper hand after what happened last night.
If that person is really recruited and becomes her consort, then...
Of course, she is not that boring, and it is impossible for her to make hasty decisions about her life just to defeat her.
She had a lot to think about.
After standing in front of the window for a while, she asked in a cold voice: "How is Zijin Temple?"
Yue Wu's voice immediately came from outside: "Back to Your Highness, the entire Taoist temple of Zijin Temple was burned to ashes last night, and even their protective formations were all destroyed. Among them, the nine precious formations The magical swords were all turned into scrap metal. Five of the seven masters of the Zijin Temple died, and ninety-eight of the one hundred and twenty-two disciples died, and all of them had their bodies destroyed and their souls destroyed. The remaining ones The twenty-four disciples went their separate ways early in the morning and fled in a hurry... It is said that the master of Zijin Temple, Taoist Zijin, was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot and passed out."
After hearing this, Nangong Huoyue was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Is there any news about the Tongtian Cauldron?"
Yue Wu said: "Not yet. I don't know if it is with Taoist Zijin or has been taken away."
Nangong Huoyue looked at the fiery red morning sun outside and couldn't help but said calmly: "In just a short time, the entire Zijin Temple was destroyed. Even the dignified Zijin Taoist was so angry that he vomited blood... Yuewu, Yueying, can you guess? Do you know who he is?"
Yue Wu and Yue Ying both said: "I don't know."
The corner of Nangong Huoyue's mouth moved slightly and said: "I know."
There was silence outside.
Yue Wu said: "Your Highness, is he someone you know?"
Nangong Huoyue said calmly: "Not only do I know you, but I also..."
Thinking of those shameful actions and photos last night, she paused, changed the subject, and said, "What was the emperor's reaction?"
Yue Wu said: "He took Li Zhong out of the palace. Also, one of the palace maids who served him last night was carried out of his room by the eunuch this morning. He is already dead."
After hearing this, Nangong Huoyue fell silent and did not speak again.
It was quiet outside too.
On this day, the whole of Kyoto was talking about the fire last night and the charred corpses.
The Yamen sent out many people, inside and outside the city, to search house to house. As long as there were strangers, regardless of whether they were men, women, old or young, they would be arrested and interrogated.
Luo Qingzhou slept in the secret room all day, until he slowly woke up in the evening.
After opening my eyes, my head still hurt, my energy was very low, my body was very weak, my face was as pale as paper, I didn't have any strength in my body, and I couldn't get out of bed at all.
Last night, the soul suffered a major trauma, which naturally also affected the physical body.
He opened his eyes and was in a daze for a while, recalling what happened last night. Then he took out the black spiritual fluid from the storage ring and took two drops.
Not too many at one time.
The soul is too weak and needs to be absorbed slowly. Only when it is completely absorbed can you continue to take it.
As soon as the spiritual liquid entered his body, he felt a warm current rising from the heart of the soul.
The headache symptoms were slightly relieved.
He took out the summons document and glanced at the information on it. Many people had already sent messages.
He first replied to Zhu Yan: [Senior, this junior is injured and needs to rest for a few days. I can’t chat with you anymore]
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yan seemed to be waiting for his reply. As soon as the message was sent, the other party immediately replied: [Are you injured? How did you get hurt? What bastard did this? Tell me, I will go out and kill him! 】
Luo Qingzhou's heart moved and he asked: [Senior, can you come out? 】
Zhu Zhu: [Nonsense! I can go out whenever I want! Go wherever you want to go! No one can control this king! 】
Luo Qingzhou immediately said: [Senior, come out, this junior needs your help to kill a few people]
Zhu Zhu: [Real or false? Are you testing this king? 】
Luo Qingzhou: [Of course it’s true. If you don’t believe me, I’ll take a photo for you. I’m really hurt. The opponent is too strong for the juniors to defeat, so I want to ask the seniors for help. Senior, can you come out and help me? 】
Zhu Zhu: [Um, Yangyang, my stomach is not feeling well lately. It’s hard to even walk. I really can’t go out for the time being. When I get better, I will definitely go out and help you kill them! 】
Luo Qingzhou: [Okay, senior, when can you come out, junior is waiting for you]
Zhu Zhu: [No more, the signal is not very good, my stomach starts to hurt again, I am going to have diarrhea, bye]
Luo Qingzhou: [...]
The other party did not reply again.
Luo Qingzhou secretly thought, Zhu Yan is an ancient ferocious beast, and it should not be able to come out to kill people at will. There must be some rules or something more powerful to restrain it. Otherwise, if it can come out at will, wouldn't it be chaos in the world? ?
Could it be the power of those mysterious forces?
He decided to have a good chat with Zhu Yan next time he went there. Maybe he could learn something about those mysterious forces from him.
Sister Yue’s sect should belong to that kind of force, right?
He had to prepare in advance.
After thinking for a while, he continued to reply to the message.
Zhuzhu: [Where have you been? 】
Luo Qingzhou: [at home]
After the message was sent, the other party responded instantly: [You are not here]
Luo Qingzhou's heart skipped a beat: [Uncle Master went to my house? 】
Zhuzhu: [No, I just went to the riverside]
Luo Qingzhou: [Then how did my uncle know that I was not there? He wouldn't have been waiting for me all night, right? 】
Zhuzhu: [There is something weird in your house. Someone has set up a formation, but I can’t see inside]
Luo Qingzhou's heart moved: [Master uncle went last night? What did you see? 】
Bamboo: [Mist, cold, specifically for the soul]
In Luo Qingzhou's mind, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he was out of body, went to Lingchan Moon Palace for the first time, and almost froze to death.
Luo Qingzhou: [Uncle, don’t peek at them, or you might be beaten as a bad guy]
Zhuzhu: [Where have you been? A big event happened in Kyoto last night. Zijin Temple was burned down and all the Taoist priests inside were killed]
Luo Qingzhou: [Really? How terrible. Who could be so cruel as to attack a group of poor Taoist priests? Infinite Heavenly Lord, Amitabha]
Zhuzhu: [The inner city has been sealed, and a powerful formation has been set up on the city wall. Many experts are stationed there, and the entire inner city will be searched. If the murderer had not had time to leave the city last night, he might have been unable to fly.]
Luo Qingzhou: [Uncle, I'm fine, don't worry about me. Look out there for me, okay? 】
Zhuzhu: [I don’t need to look, you have a master at home, and there is another one in the water]
Luo Qingzhou: [...Uncle Master, you are also a master in my family. You want to help me protect our home, do you hear me? 】
Zhuzhu: [Where are you, I’ll find you]
Luo Qingzhou: [No, it will be dangerous if you come. I'm fine now. Don't worry, I will find a way to get out. Uncle Master, help me take care of my home. What I’m most worried about is my home.]
Zhuzhu: [I’m most worried about you]
Luo Qingzhou stared at the message blankly. After a while, Fang replied: "I'm fine, I'm really fine." When I get back, I will go to the mountains to find you and practice with you, okay? 】
Zhuzhu: [Hmm]
Luo Qingzhou: [Yeah]
A warm current surged through his heart. He was stunned for a while and then replied to the princess: "I did it. I'm fine now. It's okay." By the way, did Lin Yuan and his master go to your palace today? 】
The message came back quickly: [Not here, such a big thing happened in the inner city, and they went to help find the murderer. Our palace is under surveillance and was searched by the Jin Yiwei today. They suspected that the escaped dragon was responsible for what happened last night. They did not suspect you]
Luo Qingzhou: [Princess, are you okay? 】
Xiao Meijiao: [It’s okay, we are all fine. Where are you? I want to find you】
Luo Qingzhou: [Don't come, stay well in the house, my hiding place is very secret, even I don't know where it is, no one will find it]
Xiao Meijiao: [? ? ? 】
Luo Qingzhou: [Princess Princess, if there is anyone outside, help me find my elder brother. The eldest brother is missing. I heard two Taoist priests talking about him last night. I thought he was imprisoned in Zijin Temple, but there was no such thing in the temple. I suspected that something happened to the eldest brother. If possible, please help me inform the eldest princess and ask her to help find it. There are many people in her palace, so it should be more convenient]
Xiao Meijiao: [Okay, you have to protect yourself and don't let anything happen. If something happens to you, those beautiful wives and concubines in your family, as well as your sister-in-law who is as beautiful as a fairy, will become someone else's. Of course, it also includes your gentle, cute, beautiful and well-behaved little beauty]
Luo Qingzhou: [Yeah]
Little Meijiao: [Love you]
Luo Qingzhou: [Love you too]
After sending this message, he sent another message to Sister Yue.
The other party did not send him a message, but he knew that the other party might also care about him.
[Sister Yue, thank you for last night. Thank you for asking Xiaoyue to help me. You saw me when I entered the outer city, right? Why don't you come out to see me? 】
After sending the message, he waited for a while, but the other party did not reply.
At this time, the stone door at the door suddenly opened.
Xiaoyue was wrapped in a red halo, carrying a basket, and walked in. She said crisply: "Brother, you must be hungry when you wake up. My sister has prepared a lot of delicious food for you."
As he said that, he took out all the food and fruits in the basket.
Luo Qingzhou was indeed hungry. When he was about to get up to eat, he suddenly felt a dizziness and lay down again.
Xiaoyue quickly came over and helped him up, saying: "Brother, don't move, sister, do it."
As he spoke, he picked up the rice bowl, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat that seemed to have just come out of the pot, and handed it to his mouth.
Luo Qingzhou turned to look at her and suddenly said: "Xiaoyue, can you take off the halo and let me see your true face?"
Xiaoyue paused, shook her head, and said, "No, brother, my sister is ugly and I can't show it to you."
When Luo Qingzhou saw that she was unwilling, he didn't force himself anymore and opened his mouth to eat the meat.
Xiaoyue glanced at him and said softly: "Brother, can I ask about your family affairs?"
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "What do you want to ask?"
Xiaoyue said: "How many ladies are there in my brother's family? What are their identities?"
Luo Qingzhou paused and said, "About six or seven, they are all ordinary people."
When Xiaoyue heard this, she was immediately surprised and said: "Brother, six or seven? You...how old are you? Why did you marry so many women at once? Will my body be exhausted?"
Luo Qingzhou looked at her and said, "Why do you suddenly ask these questions?"
Xiaoyue smiled quickly and said: "It's okay, I'm just curious. No wonder my brother has no interest in the relationship between men and women. It turns out that there are already so many women in the family. If there are more, I won't be able to sleep every night. "
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment when he heard her mention Sister Yue.
At this time, the messenger ultimatum on his body suddenly vibrated.
He immediately took it out and looked at the message on it.
Sure enough, it was from Sister Yue!
Xiaoyue's eyes flashed, she also stretched her head, looked closely, and said: "Brother, who sent it? Is it Senior Sister?"
Luo Qingzhou clicked on the message.
