After boarding the ladder, Yun Hanxing walked into the Zhenwu Temple smoothly.
Zhenwu Temple has always been among the clouds. It is not disturbed by the outside world and is a peaceful scene. Except for a few Taoist priests discussing softly on the terrace, it is a beautiful scene.
Yun Hanxing went straight to the main hall of the Taoist temple. When she came to the door of the main hall, two Taoist priests stopped her and asked: "May I ask this... female hero, what is the purpose of coming to my true martial arts?"
Yun Hanxing said dissatisfied: "I've blinded you so much that I don't even recognize you anymore?"
The Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, then took a closer look. Only when he saw those peach blossom eyes did he come to his senses and apologized repeatedly, "I have poor eyesight, so I didn't recognize it was Master Yun. Please forgive me for saying anything. Master Yun is here this time." Guan, what do you want to do, and who do you want to find?"
Yun Hanxing slapped the letter directly on the Taoist priest's face and said loudly: "I'm here to find Zhao Qixing. The capital is in trouble. Tell him to get out of here."
The two little Taoist priests looked at each other, looking embarrassed.
Yun Hanxing snorted coldly, "If he doesn't come out to see me, I will go find him by myself."
Naturally, the little Taoist priests didn't dare to stop her. Everyone knew how hot-tempered this new Taibai leader was. It was said that when she was still the peak leader, one of the sects was too arrogant in front of her and left her outside the temple for half an hour. , the aunt directly drew her sword and cut the entire hall clean.
When he was in trouble, a voice floated leisurely.
"Fellow Taoist, calm down your anger and don't embarrass these two disciples, Pindao."
The two young Taoist priests took a long breath and looked into the distance gratefully.
Over there, a man in black robes and Taoist uniforms was slowly approaching, holding Buddha dust in his hand. He looked very old.
But those eyes are still bright and bright.
In Zhenwu Temple, there are actually no particularly strict requirements for Taoist robes. You can wear whatever you like without any restrictions.
It's just that the less you do anything to restrain yourself, the more you will be used as a restraint by others. For example, the little Taoist priests who are gatekeepers can only wear white Taoist robes. They probably represent the lowest group of Taoist priests in Zhenwu Temple.
Then there is the purple robe, with a little power in the hand, then yellow, and finally black.
The Taoist robe worn by the Taoist priest in front of him already showed his status, but these Yun Hanxing didn't really buy it. They looked coldly at the Taoist priest who was walking slowly, and said without a good expression: "Who is the same as you?" Fellow Taoist, I'm here to find someone, tell that little bastard surnamed Zhao to get out of here, don't try to wear on my patience, be careful I can kill your bastard with one sword."
The black-robed Taoist priest smiled and said: "Master Yun, please don't get angry. If my junior brother is still here, I will naturally let him come out to see you. But unfortunately, my junior brother has gone down the mountain a few days ago."
Hearing this answer, Yun Hanxing was completely angry.
I came to find someone. First I was upset when I couldn't find the ladder. Then I met a little Taoist priest at the foot of the mountain who jumped into the great spirit. Halfway through his words, I got upset. After finally getting up, you actually told me what I was looking for. People went down the mountain?
Can this be tolerated?
Yun Hanxing's energy was flowing in his body, and he wanted to vent his anger.
The black-robed Taoist priest just raised his hand slightly, and the sea of clouds began to change. The originally sunny sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, followed by loud thunder.
The black-robed Taoist priest said in a shocked voice: "Cloud Palm"
Gate, my Zhenwu Temple has always valued peace, but if you want to take action, I naturally can't just sit back and do nothing. "
Yun Hanxing looked up at the thunder clouds, gritted his teeth, and finally suppressed his energy. The black-robed Taoist priest opposite also smiled slightly and waved his robe. The dark clouds instantly dispersed, revealing the sunny sky again.
Yun Hanxing left sadly, but the black-robed Taoist priest looked at his figure and did not look away for a long time.
After a long while, the little Taoist priest whispered: "Master, little uncle, didn't he... come back today?"
The black-robed Taoist glared at the little Taoist, who immediately shut his mouth knowingly.
"As my junior brother, I always say that heaven's secrets must not be leaked. But when people live in this world, they either go with heaven or go against heaven. There are not so many so-called heavenly secrets."
The black-robed Taoist priest withdrew his gaze and ordered: "Let the disciples in the temple be mentally prepared in the past few days. We have to go to Kyoto."
The little Taoist priest said oh, feeling a little confused, but he still followed the instructions.
When Yun Hanxing walked down from the Zhenwu Temple, he saw the little Taoist priest standing there, motionless. It wasn't until Yun Hanxing walked down that he grinned and said, "It seems that no one was found."
Yun Hanxing happened to be holding back a lot of anger, but this time it was good, someone actually hit the muzzle of the gun, so he immediately said mischievously: "Come here, I want to ask you something."
Unexpectedly, the little Taoist priest didn't give her this chance at all. He just shook his head and said, "You want to take it out on me, but I don't dare to go there."
Yun Hanxing sneered, and the long sword was already unsheathed, hovering beside him, buzzing.
The little Taoist priest didn't panic when he looked at the long sword.
He said calmly: "I am not talented but I have some abilities. Since you haven't found the person you are looking for, how about letting me share your worries?"
Yun Hanxing narrowed her peach blossom eyes and looked at the little Taoist priest with some disdain.
A bad Taoist priest, does he really think of himself as a person?
The flying sword also made a louder noise.
The little Taoist priest clicked his tongue and said: "The person you are looking for is clearly right in front of you, why don't you ask more?"
Yun Hanxing, who had been preparing to teach the little Taoist priest a lesson, was suddenly confused.
"Master Yun was too impatient. If he had asked a few more questions at that time, we might have been on the way back to Kyoto now."
The little Taoist priest slightly cupped his hands and said softly: "Zhenwu Zhao Qixing has met Master Yun."
Yun Hanxing was slightly surprised.
She never imagined that such an obscure Taoist priest would be the person Gu Xiaotian was looking for.
She held her forehead, a little unbelievable.
Who did Gu Xiaotian meet along the way?
…
…
The sky is slightly bright.
Gu Xiaotian, who had been awake all night, couldn't hold on any longer. He leaned on his seat and snored slightly.
The next moment, he opened his eyes suddenly, stood up immediately, and walked out of the room.
In the courtyard, he pricked up his ears and listened. After a while, the sound became louder and louder.
After a while, Guan Jing rushed to the courtyard with his deputy Xu Yuanzhi. He looked at Gu Xiaotian who had been here for a long time and said softly: "Someone is coming."
Xu Yuanzhi pricked up his ears and listened carefully, then said, "The footsteps were a bit chaotic, and it didn't sound like someone from the army."
The three of them jumped on the roof together. Looking from a distance, they saw a dark crowd rushing towards them.
It's those who have long since disappeared
The monster.
At this time, they appeared again.
Even though Xu Yuanzhidang took the initiative to ask for help, he kept holding his breath. Since the monster reappeared, he naturally wanted to take revenge and give an explanation to the dead border troops.
After Guan Jing hesitated for a moment, he nodded in agreement.
Xu Yuanzhi left immediately, came outside the house, took out a signal bomb from his pocket, and pulled it into the sky.
The next moment, the sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the city.
It was those border troops who survived the retreat.
However, in front of that large group of black monsters, this small group of border troops was a bit unsatisfied.
Although this time, they were encircling from outside the city and were no longer as vulnerable as before, but it was still a drop in the bucket.
Guan Jing whispered: "Xu Yuanzhi and the others can't hold on for long."
Gu Xiaotian had thought about this scene before, but in the current situation, he could only choose the worst plan.
"withdraw."
Guan Jing frowned and looked at Gu Xiaotian doubtfully.
Gu Xiaotian repeated again, "Withdraw."
At present, the reinforcements have not yet arrived. If he fights with those monsters head-on, it will undoubtedly shake the tree. Wouldn't it just play into Sun Yanlu's way?
Sun Yanlu now has 10,000 cards in his hand. Even if they are taken apart and played, they can slowly torture Gu Xiaotian. But now he has chosen the most direct method, which is to force Gu Xiaotian to make a choice.
Either withdraw or fight hard.
Either way, he was happy to see it.
In fact, both are dead ends. If we withdraw from Kyoto at this time, even if the reinforcements arrive, it will not be easy to launch a counterattack. As for fighting head-on, it is really the same as committing suicide.
But for now, the only option is to withdraw.
The battle between the border troops and the demons only lasted for about half an hour, and they began to collapse. After all, nothing could be changed.
They spent half an hour doing it for Gu Xiaotian and others.
Xu Yuanzhi fought his way out under the protection of the border soldiers. Looking at the fallen border soldiers one by one, Xu Yuanzhi had no time to grieve and could only run towards the outside of the city.
At this point, the border army was completely defeated.
Under the command of Gu Xiaotian, the servants of Gu Mansion have already left Gu Mansion. They are ordinary people. Sun Yanlu will not take them seriously. They only need to hide in their friends' homes.
Then, Gu Xiaotian took Guan Jing, Sun Gusheng and Li Pingping and left through the secret door that had been dug long ago.
The entire ancient mansion was empty of people in just half an hour.
The demons come and go in a hurry, and they disperse soon.
Sun Yanlu came to the main entrance of the ancient mansion in a carriage, looked up at the huge ancient characters, and said softly: "Smash it."
The Gu family plaque was taken down, and was thrown to the ground by Sun Yanlu's people, and fell into pieces.
Sun Yanlu smiled faintly, stepped on the word 'ancient', and walked into the house.
The originally bustling ancient mansion was now desolate.
Sun Yanlu walked slowly among them, like a high and mighty king.
During the day, a fire broke out in the ancient mansion.
Sun Yanlu walked out of the ancient mansion and took one last look back. The billowing smoke slowly floated into the air and lingered for a long time.
The common people poked their heads out one after another and sighed when they knew that it was the location of the ancient mansion.
They originally thought that the Gu family could survive for a while longer, but they never thought that even the mansion would be burned to the ground so quickly.
I really have to sigh
Everyone's wish failed, and the ancient family became a piece of history almost overnight.
In the future, it is uncertain whether we will see the Gu family again.
The people shook their heads and continued busy with the things at hand.
For these, they can only lament, but they can't change anything.
…
…
At night, the Imperial Palace in Kyoto was somewhat quiet.
The guards of the palace were dozing against the pillars. They had been very nervous these days, but now that the ancient palace was burned to the ground, they relaxed their vigilance.
Several streaks of light flashed in the sky, but they didn't notice it at all.
The secret room of the Secret Investigation Department was busy with activity at this moment, and the door was slowly pushed open.
The subordinates of the Secret Investigation Department did not raise their heads and just continued to do the work at hand.
Gu Xiaotian glanced at the secret room of the Secret Investigation Department and said with a smile: "It's so dark under the lamp."
