Yun Qing subconsciously wanted to mobilize Fang Cunzhan, but thinking that she was still holding someone in her hand, she could only silently perform a Xuanyuan Huayu Technique.
Thin cyan jade covered her hands, and the heat of the flames could not break through the brilliance of the jade.
"This is..." the girl who brought her the classics broke free from her arms and said angrily looking at the continuous palace covered by flames outside, "That's all right, we have to re-arrange the residence again. If the Hundred Flowers Festival is delayed , we will all be sent to live sacrifices by the national teacher!"
"A living sacrifice?" Yun Qing was surprised.
The girl didn't seem to be afraid at all, she smiled and watched the fire burning outside the door: "Just kidding... The national teacher naturally wouldn't be so cruel. But it's too strange to catch fire several times in a row, right?"
"Yeah, a few days ago, the aura suddenly became agitated, and inexplicably caught fire at night. It's really..." Yun Qing nodded, "Should we hide first?"
"I practice the Jue Sui Fang Yuan Jue, so naturally it doesn't matter." The girl was also a little surprised to see Yun Qing resisting with ease.
A gentleman is like water, he will be round wherever he is. This is also the lineage of Lu Tiantan, which is to realize the way of a gentleman from the water. Water is an extremely profound way of nature, so this girl should be an inner disciple. It seems that the position of the flower boy is really only based on appearance, otherwise how could Zheng Zhenzhen from the outer gate of the city and this young but advanced girl from the inner gate be selected at the same time.
Yun Qing glanced at her, didn't say much more, and sat back to the original place after re-imposing the restraint, and began to look through the classics.
The girl released her letter bird, apparently to notify others.
"Which city are you from?" The girl seemed restless, chatting with Yun Qing, "My name is Le Shu, and I grew up in the mirror since I was a child."
"Ci'an City." Yun Qing frowned, the fire outside was getting bigger and bigger, and she couldn't see anything except crimson.
"Ci'an City!!? Have you visited the National Teacher's Mansion!? What does it look like, what does it look like?" Le Shu's eyes lit up instantly.
"I've never been there." Yun Qing felt that Le Shu and Zheng Zhenzhen were surprisingly consistent in their attitudes towards the national teacher.
"Oh..." Le Shu lost all energy and didn't talk much.
Yun Qing flipped through the classics while holding on to the restraint, but the feeling of getting more and more strenuous made her a little uneasy.
She can't use true energy to maintain the restriction, and can only rely on this weak Xuanyuanhuayu technique to isolate the riotous aura. If it keeps burning like this, the restriction will definitely collapse, and she might be exposed.
The reason why she didn't escape from the fire before was because she didn't know the situation outside. Since this fire can cause a riot of spiritual energy within the shroud of the altar, it must not be something to provoke. If there is a sea of fire outside, then they are all-purpose to go out. There are few people in this area, and it is difficult to ask for help. At least there are self-contained protective formations and restrictions that Yun Qing has set up in this garden.
Besides, this place is relatively close to the center of the Lutian Temple. It is said that if something happens to such an important place as the altar, it will soon alarm the senior officials of the Lutian Temple, and they are unlikely to be in danger. But now it seems a little weird.
The fire was burning outside, but Yun Qing didn't feel any movement. There was no movement of the arsonist, no firefighters, not even a cry for help.
Yun Qing couldn't sit still, she got up and walked towards the burning flame.
"What are you doing?" Le Shu stopped her.
"Go outside and have a look." Yun Qing paused, the temperature of the flames was unbelievable, and the rockery outside the restriction was burned into wisps of smoke.
"Here, I'll give you this Concubine Mi Ring. Be careful." Le Shu threw a shiny object at her.
This thing is light and thin, and it is cold to the touch. Although it has a cold light like metal, it feels more like silk. Looking at the texture, it is also primitive and simple, as if it is agile.
Concubine Mi is the god of the Luoshui River, born with a water spirit and not invaded by ordinary fire. All things that have a touch of gods are ancient things, which are rare in a thousand years, and possess all kinds of supernatural powers, and those who are destined can realize the seal of the gods and obtain the power of the ancient gods.
Such a precious thing is enough to be regarded as a bottom-of-the-box inheritance by a small sect, but Le Shu threw it to her casually. It seems that she is not an ordinary inner disciple.
Yun Qing lifted the thing up with the Xuanyuan Huayu technique, thanked Leshu, and then walked out of the restricted area.
As soon as she went outside, she felt that the formations that had been placed in the garden had been burned up, and even the walls were burned to ashes, leaving nothing beside them.
Yun Qing slowly poured her true energy into Mi Feihuan. Concubine Mi's ring radiated a faint wave of light, and Yun Qing felt as if she was surrounded by clear and translucent water, and the flames outside could not invade at all.
But Yun Qing still frowned slightly, because the consumption of true qi was terrible. Either it is really expensive to operate this magic weapon, or the fire outside is extraordinary.
Yun Qing counted the time she could last, and then walked deeper. Under the cover of the sky full of fire, the naked eye could not see the surrounding situation clearly, but Yun Qing could still distinguish the direction with her eyes. Just as she was about to approach the Lutian Altar, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, and not far ahead was the Jingtian Palace where the books were collected.
There is no one within 100 meters around, and the restraint of Tiangong is intact. It seems that those disciples either hid in the palace, or ran outside to ask for help. The gate of Jingtian Palace is strictly controlled, and non-inner disciples are not allowed to enter. If she asks to enter at this juncture, I don't know if she will be granted.
At this time, the true qi was close to the limit, if he turned around immediately and could return to the garden, it would be safer to be with a cultivator like Le Shu who understands the way of water. But Jingtian Palace was right in front of her and she didn't want to take the trip in vain. If she missed this opportunity, it might be difficult to enter next time.
In fact, Yun Qing understands that when she thinks like this, she has actually fallen into the little five bad phases of "reluctance to give up". It is difficult to choose whether to take a risk or move forward steadily, but the problem is that even if she understands the crux, she can't immediately make a decision.
Just when Yun Qing was having a hard time judging, what she saw in her mind changed subtly.
Although the color of the flames is all crimson, there are always different shades. The mind of a cultivator is very detailed, especially after Yun Qing has tempered his body with the method of "swallowing food and swallowing energy", he can see through many things that ordinary people cannot see. You must know that the ancient cultivators swallowed their breath for ten thousand years, "the boys in their eyes all have a blue light, and they can see hidden things."
In her mind, the depth of the flame had an unusual change. It's like... there is a huge monster with the same color as the flame walking slowly in the fire.
Thinking of this, Yun Qing's face suddenly darkened, and he tried his best to move Concubine Mihuan, bypassing the place where the flame color was unusual, and ran towards Jingtian Palace.
She already guessed what set the fire here.
Yun Qing didn't turn her head, she could almost feel the extremely fiery breath behind her, surging like a wave. You must know that she is urging Mi Feihuan with all her strength at this time, but that fiery breath is not inferior to her divine power.
It is only one step away from Jingtian Palace.
The flame behind her suddenly glowed with red light, and a feeling of extreme danger surged into Yunqing's heart.
At this time of crisis, her mind became more and more clear. The words of the Kunshan Jade Fragment Jue that she had just seen not long ago flashed in her heart, and her true energy frantically searched for the outlet of the explosion in the meridians. She made a backhand, and the complex fingering was extremely fast, and she completed it in the blink of an eye, and her true energy also surged out at this moment.
The burning air behind her is getting closer and closer, as long as she is touched, she will definitely not be able to stop it with just this concubine ring.
"Broken Light Splashing Jade!"
A bit of warm clear light emerged from the crimson burning flames, gradually dissipated, and turned into dots of jade powder, and the countless powders trembled into finer clear light, so differentiated, and finally formed a dense jade shield.
A vermilion flame hit the jade shield, and the fire light and the jade clear light all exploded, bursting out chaotic and gorgeous fragmented light. The jade light disappeared in an instant, but this little spark was strong against the wind, and it was about to turn into a monstrous flame.
The entanglement here is only for a short moment, and Yun Qing has already rushed into the restriction of Jingtian Palace.
"Let's go!" she yelled.
The restriction was obviously manipulated by someone, and it seemed that she had also discovered the crisis on her side and opened a small crack.
Yun Qing flew towards the gate of Jingtian Palace, and just as she was completely within the restriction, another ray of vermilion flames bloomed behind her.
The things in the fire didn't seem to be aimed at her, but more like they were randomly sweeping through the fire, accidentally affecting Yun Qing.
The restriction was closed again soon, and the inside of Jingtian Palace was very cool.
"The national teacher has been alarmed..."
There are only a few disciples in Jingtian Palace, and there is an old man with white hair, who are all secretary of Jingtian Palace. It was the old man who spoke.
It's just that his tone didn't seem to be expressing "the national teacher was alarmed, we were all saved", it was more like saying "the national teacher was alarmed, we are all dead".
The other disciples were all meditating quietly under the restraint, and they seemed to be relatively calm. It seemed that they were all inner disciples with firm Taoism and excellent aptitude.
Yun Qing didn't have time to think about this, she sat cross-legged beside those disciples, and began to recover her true energy silently. If she hadn't suddenly comprehended the "Smashing Light and Splashing Jade" move just now, and used the attack to counter the attack, and slightly delayed the coming of the Zhu Yan, I'm afraid it would have been a disaster now. It seems that the Kunshan Jade Fragment Jue is not as tasteless as imagined.
When she opened her eyes again, there was no trace of fire outside.
But those scorched ground, buildings emitting black smoke, and empty squares all showed what happened before.
"Go out, the national teacher has already solved it." Seeing that Yun Qing woke up, the old man walked over with his back bent.
Yun Qing bowed to him: "Thank you senior for saving me."
"Why are you so particular about being in the same sect? Just as long as you're fine." The old man looked stern, but his words were similar to Chen Jiukai's. It would take a lot of risk to open the restriction to save her, and it violated the prohibition of outer sect disciples. Entering the gate rules of the Heavenly Palace, but these secretaries opened a way for her to survive without any hesitation.
Thinking back to Senior Sister Yu, who seemed difficult to get along with, but actually liked to remind her younger generation, and Le Shu, who lent Mi Concubine Ring without blinking her eyes, Yun Qing suddenly felt that the interior of the Temple of Heaven was really close. very. Zheng Zhenzhen's kind of thing may only happen in the outer sect of the branch altar.
This is probably one of the reasons why it has only one top-notch inheritance but can successfully rank among the seven holy places.
The orthodox Taoist sect naturally cannot be a place of selfishness, greed and materialistic desires. If the disciples are intriguing all day long, murdering people to seize treasures, and indulging in lust, then what kind of Tao are they seeking, what truths are they cultivating? It's better to enter the world of mortals, live a hundred years at ease, and then die silently.
Yun Qing saluted again, then turned and left Jingtian Palace.
Once the cause and effect are established, she can slowly use the heavenly book to explore the things inside, so there is no rush for this moment.
There are dangers hidden everywhere in the altar of Lutian, and the source of the fire today is also her serious problem, so she must be cautious. Once exposed, it is a dead end.
※※※
"A Qing song lingers in the rhyme of the beams, flowers fall from the sky and the clothes are fragrant. The flute pipe is ashamed on the spot, and temporarily replaces the fairy bone with tenderness. A cloud of crimson snow disperses with the wind, and it disperses into the sorrows of the children of the future."
In the Red Luan Pavilion and in the Accord, there are beauties singing and dancing gracefully, lingering in incense, and fluttering tulle, as if in a dream.
The melody of this song is soft and desolate, and the singing voice is as ethereal as a clear stream, but it also has the meaning of charming all living beings unconsciously.
Through the thin veil, one can see a slim figure dancing with the singing.
Outside the veil, there was a person in a white sacrificial robe sitting peacefully. This person's white hair reaches the ground, but his face is very young, his divine light is restrained, and his whole person has an unreal feeling. He sat there quietly, like a grain of sand in the billowing world of mortals, harmoniously existing in one body with the chaotic sounds of silk and bamboo around him. But that unmoving, clear and holy feeling is beyond the world of mortals.
The clear is the sky, and the turbid is the earth. This person is almost perfectly integrated between the clear and the turbid, connecting with the sky at the top, and connecting with the earth at the bottom.
"Why do you..."
The man did not speak. But his voice naturally appeared in the dancing girl's ears.
He didn't wait for the dancer to answer, and stood up with a wave of his sleeves, and his figure gradually disappeared into nothingness.
Seeing him leave, the dancing girl also stopped moving.
The veil was lifted, and the dancer inside was wearing a bright red dress, and the cinnabar between her eyebrows was like blood. After seeing her, you will understand that there are people in the world who are so beautiful that words cannot express them, and just one look is enough to make people drunk and dreamy, and drown themselves.
The white-clothed waiter standing beside her saw her stop, and hurried forward to offer a small glazed cup. The viscous blood in the cup rippled slightly.
If Yun Qing was here, she would have discovered that it was Fang Cunzhan.
The woman drank it down.
"Tell me, but the song I sang today is not moving enough to keep him?" The corner of the woman's mouth was stained with blood, reflecting blood-colored cinnabar, and her white jade-like skin had a kind of creepy beauty.
"Of course not!" The waiter in white knelt down immediately.
"Hey..." the woman sighed softly, "Yes, there is no reason for my song not to be tempting. It's a pity... the people who listen to the song are the most heartless."
The waiter in white knelt on the spot without saying a word.
"Tell Bi Fang to come back... don't play any more." The woman crushed the square inch lamp.
"Yes."
"This time we must take down the Nine-Life City, and then use this as a breakthrough to invade the Mirror Country and hunt down that evil obstacle. The Hundred Flowers Festival is a small matter, but the Heavenly Book is a big matter..."
The woman sighed faintly, and the powder from Fang Cunzhan slipped from between her fingers.
