The majesty of Lunar Temple greatly exceeded Su Mu'an's expectations.
Looking at the College in front of him, Su Mu'an was very shocked.
Of course, this shock did not come from the primitive simplicity and size of the Lunar Temple itself.
It was on the lone cliff, the platform was silent, the birds were lingering, and under the sunlight, the clouds were shaking. In Su Mu'an's eyes, this scene caused the youth's mind to shake inexplicably.
In his short life of more than ten years, the youth had never imagined that there would be such a wondrous sight in this world.
"The immortal crane cries. It's so close to the stars at night."
"The Lunar Temple is truly worthy of its reputation." Also sighing in his heart was Sect Leader Ning.
However, there were still a few bruises on his forehead, and there were several cuts on his broad black robe. He looked somewhat embarrassed.
Of course, all of this was caused by the monster called the Black Devil Tiger.
Along the way, everyone encountered more than ten monsters. Headmaster Ning suffered a loss and learned to be smarter. He no longer attacked and handed them over to the two Immortal Powers beside him.
At this moment, although he sighed with emotion, he couldn't help but attract the strange gaze of the youth.
"Cough cough." Sect Leader Ning knew that he had acted too recklessly, and his face couldn't help but turn red. He coughed and remained silent.
"Brother Ning actually doesn't want to die, does he?" At this moment, the macheteman in front of him suddenly spoke.
Ning Zhumang was stunned when he heard this. He naturally replied, "If possible, who doesn't want to live a good life?"
However, after hearing this, the macheteman nodded and said, "Let's go."
…
Just as the group of people stepped forward, a dull sound came from within the Learning Academy not far away. At that time, the huge palace gate was pushed open from the inside out. A young scholar dressed in white slowly walked to the front of the crowd.
The scholar looked in his early twenties and looked handsome. As he walked, his broad sleeves fluttered. The multicolored light and clouds on the mountain seemed to feel something, faintly surrounding his body. He strolled over like an exiled immortal falling into the dust.
"I, Meng Chengsheng, am here to welcome all the distinguished guests." The Confucian scholar's left hand was behind him, and his right hand was in front of him. He extended his four fingers, folded his thumbs, and held them in front of him. He bowed towards the crowd, lowering his head over his shoulders and covering his sleeve with his hairpin.
It was an extremely standard salute, and even the most proficient in etiquette and music would find it difficult to pick out any flaws from his salute.
Everyone returned their greetings. Only Su Mu'an curled her lips in dissatisfaction and secretly cursed, "Since she is an honored guest, why are there demonic beasts blocking the way in the mountains?"
The youth's personality was too straightforward, and he said whatever was in his heart.
Of course, he only wanted to express the dissatisfaction in his heart. His voice was extremely low, but he still did not hide it from the ears of the scholarly scholar.
At that time, Ru Sheng smiled faintly. Wen Yan said, "The reputation of the Learning Academy is too great. It is inevitable that those who want to get lucky will want to find some benefits here. But after all, there is no place for secular disputes in the Land of Clear Cultivation. Thus, some demonic beasts were set up. One is to guard the entrance of the Palace, the other is to stop the naughty ones. However, they do not want to."
The scholarly scholar paused for a moment before looking up at the forest not far away. He then said, "Even if there is a heavenly net, it can only guard against gentlemen, not villains."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but they didn't wait for them to understand what this scholar meant.
Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from the forest.
"Everyone says that the Lunar Temple is like a dense forest with countless hidden dragons and crouching tigers in it. I didn't think so before. I only saw it today to see the sky. I can't hide it from the immortals, and I'm not satisfied with you, Your Excellency." That person was dressed in a black robe and embroidered with a wandering dragon. However, he was not as dignified and tyrannical as an ordinary True Dragon. Instead, his eyes were scarlet red and his Yin Qi was dense.
His appearance caused everyone around him to be stunned, and Yuan Guilong, who had always been indifferent, even raised his eyebrows with a peculiar expression on his face.
"Why are you here?" He asked in a deep voice, but his gaze looked up and down at the man in front of him, as if he was extremely displeased with his attire. Yuan Guilong frowned as if he rarely saw him.
"Everyone says that there are countless talented people in the Lunar Temple. They work hard every day to deduce the changes in the heavens and the earth. Everything in the world cannot escape their calculations for thousands of years. As long as someone climbs this Mysterious Tooth Mountain and goes to the palace, they can obtain a motto. You are puzzled, and I am also puzzled. How can you not come?" The man asked, a smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Yuan Guilong was slightly silent when he heard this, and then he raised his head and asked, "What do you want?"
The man smiled faintly and replied, "Right or wrong."
Yuan Guilong fell silent again.
"The rules of the Lunar Temple stand there. Although I'm not ashamed of your actions, since you've come, let's go in together." The young Confucian scholar said at that time, which could be considered to have skipped the conversation between the two of them. The group of people looked at each other, and it was at that time that they followed the Confucian scholar into the lofty learning palace.
…
In the main hall of Zhu Manor, Zhu Shouzuo, who was holding the military and government of Great Zhou, paced back and forth.
All the important members of the Long Night Division below the stage, as well as the Jianghu elites led by Sikong Bai, were silent as they observed their noses, noses, and hearts.
"Speak, why are you all mute? Where is my son now? Is he dead or alive? If he wants to see him alive, he wants to see the corpse if he dies!" Zhu Xian was like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and uneasy.
Everyone below the stage remained silent.
Zhu Xian's expression immediately darkened. His lips trembled as he said, "My son … Has he …"
Before she could finish her sentence, a beautiful woman dressed in green took a step to the center of the hall and cupped her hands towards Zhu Xian. She said, "My condolences, first."
After following Zhu Xian for many years, they naturally understood that there was some news for them to tell, but some news could only be told by the head lord himself.
Zhu Xian's face immediately turned pale as he fell back onto the wooden chair behind him.
At that time, the hall once again fell into a long silence. Zhu Xian's expression on the high platform changed. In the end, he asked worriedly, "Where is the corpse?"
"I guess it should be in the hands of the Tian Ce Mansion ." Xuan Luo, dressed in a black robe and dressed as a Confucian scholar, stood up and said.
"Then go and snatch it back for me!" Zhu Xian was furious, "Gongsun Ming! I order you to lead the Greedy Wolf Tribe's 1,000 Dark Wolf Guards to flatten Tiance Prefecture for me, leaving no survivors!"
The black-armored man below the stage with a knife scar across his face stood up and wanted to accept the order.
The green-robed woman and the black-robed scholar frowned slightly, but did not say anything.
They knew very well that this was not the time for them to interrupt.
"Brother Zhu."
At that time, Immortal Sikong Bai, who had been silent for a long time, stood up and took a step towards the center of the hall.
"Huh?" Zhu Xian looked at the old man with a murderous look in his eyes.
However, Sikong Bai had never heard of this before. He cupped his hands and continued, "This trip is not appropriate."
"What's wrong? My son died miserably. Could it be that a father can't help him clean up his injustice?" Zhu Xian was clearly furious. He shouted loudly, his eyes blazing with flames as if they were about to burn out.
"I naturally understand Brother Zhu's pain in losing his son. But Brother Zhu must also understand why Young Master Zhu died." Sikong Bai replied indifferently.
"Why did he die? Wasn't it because of that damned Heavenly Punishment Sword? Wasn't it because of that damned Xu Han?" Zhu Xian's eyebrows darkened, and the murderous aura in his eyes grew heavier.
"That's right, it's the Heavenly Punishment Sword. Young Master Zhu will never forget to retrieve this sword for Brother Zhu before he dies. He killed the Dog Emperor, saved lives from fire and water, and saved the Li people from suffering." Sikong Bai said with a solemn expression, "That Yuan Guilong is still alive. In the Land of Jizhou, Great Zhou's throat is still in Tiance Prefecture's hands." Brother Zhu, if you act rashly, you will be able to avenge your son's death as a hero for a while. Of course, it will be quick, but Yuan Guilong Ruoshi ignored you and fought against Brother Zhu. Didn't you burn down the painstaking efforts of the Department of Long Night for more than ten years, and how would you end up meeting Young Master Ling in the Nine Springs? "
"Could it be that Yuan Guilong won't die for a day, and I'll let Xu Han continue to enjoy himself?" Zhu Xian's expression changed slightly. Although he did not compromise in his words, his tone was clearly loose. Most of the time, the so-called father-son relationship and brotherhood seemed so insignificant in front of the throne of ten thousand people.
"The first lord doesn't need to worry. We have already received news that Yuan Guilong has gone to Lunar Temple. With his current condition, he will probably never return this time." At this moment, a purple-robed youth suddenly stepped out from the crowd and stood behind Sikong Bai. He cupped his hands and said.
"Oh?" Zhu Xian raised his eyebrows.
"The first adult should be clearer than I am, what kind of place is the Tian Ce Mansion ? Ever since the founding of the first Tian Ce Mansion Master in the previous dynasty, the Tian Ce Mansion had adhered to what he called the righteousness of life. The violet-robed youth said slowly. Although his tone was respectful, it contained a sense of certainty that the hearts of the people were broken. "I have never been unfaithful to any imperial power. When the first lord ascended to the great treasure, this Tian Ce Mansion was not a sharp sword that could be used to placate the hearts of the people or calm the internal strife."
"Do you think Xu Han can be of use to me with his posture?" Hearing this, Zhu Xian's eyes narrowed.
Hearing this, the purple-robed youth smiled faintly.
"What does the First Lord mean? If Xu Han kills Young Master Zhu, the First Lord will definitely hate him to the bone. How can I let him take charge of the Tian Ce Mansion again? Furthermore, Xu Han is incompatible with the way you came to the Tian Ce Mansion . Naturally, you cannot entrust him with important responsibilities, so I …"
The purple-robed youth paused for a moment, but he no longer spoke. Instead, he looked at Zhu Xian with a smile.
Zhu Xian was stunned for a moment before he said, "There's no harm in saying what you have to say."
"I have a brilliant plan here. First, I can change Tiance Prefecture's ownership. Second, I can make Xu Han obediently hand over the Heavenly Punishment Sword. Third, I might even use this opportunity to remove this person to relieve the pain of losing his son."
After saying this, Zhu Xian's eyes immediately lit up. He hurriedly said, "What's the plan? Hurry up and say it!"
At that time, the purple-robed youth stepped forward. Seeing that the surrounding guards were about to stop him, Zhu Xian glared back at him.
The purple-robed youth arrived beside Zhu Xian and whispered a few words in his ear.
Zhu Xian, who had a gloomy expression just now, immediately smiled. He pointed at Sikong Bai and laughed loudly.
"Brother Sikong is a decent follower. There's someone else in the Linglong Pavilion!"
