The ancestor Qingwu was indeed trapped.

His eldest disciple, the man wearing Zhong Kui's mask, failed to escape successfully.

As they circled around, they actually met.

"Master, forgive me." The masked man kowtowed obediently.

The ancestor Qingwu glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Forget it, I didn't expect your junior sister to be useful."

A female disciple who has no prospects and has died is naturally not as caring as a big disciple with a deep cultivation level.

Even if the female disciple died indirectly at the hands of the eldest disciple.

"Master, this may be a maze."

Unlike the ancestor Qingwu, this great disciple was not injured and did not need to stop to heal his wounds. He realized that he was trapped in a maze.

All alchemists must learn something magical, either Feng Shui, or face-to-face, or refine alchemy.

The eldest disciple of the Qingwu Patriarch is quite special. He understands the skills of mechanisms. It’s okay to steal the tomb, but he has no experience in dealing with formations.

And he doesn't understand this thing either.

After walking through the crescent moon watching the mountain road that suddenly became unrecognizable, with wildly growing plants and trees everywhere. The Qingwu ancestor had long felt something was wrong. When he thought of the dragon that appeared in the sky just now, he became inexplicably happy.

Someone must have cut the dragon vein!

Although I don’t know what happened, but all signs indicate that the dragon vein on Yunshan was passive! The ancestor Qingwu even believed that when he met Meng Qi again, the two masters would be used by him with conscience.

"First find a place, the teacher needs healing..."

Before the Qingwu ancestor finished speaking, he heard the loud bang.

"The fire and medicine of Xinyueguan?"

"No, not like it! If it was Xinyueguan, the movement was not that small, maybe it was someone else in the martial arts world!"

*

The loud noise from Liuhe Temple was covered in the thunder.

People in the capital have no idea.

The rain in Taijing is slightly smaller than that in Shangyun Mountain, but it is still raining.

People who were originally watching the fun in the streets and alleys were busy looking for places to hide from the rain.

People entered the teahouse, looked at the dense rain outside, and were excitedly talking about the two giant dragons that had just appeared in the sky. The guy who ran the hall was busy with his teapot, and the shopkeeper's face was full of joy.

This is the case of the new year and the festival, and suddenly there are a lot of business. How can I not be happy?

But no matter how lively you are, there will always be people who are unconventional and make inappropriate sounds.

"The great disaster is coming!"

An old scholar sighed loudly.

The people in the teahouse were stunned at first, then turned around and looked over.

The old scholar shook his head repeatedly and continued, "The great disaster is coming, and people in the world think it is strange and regard it as a topic of conversation!"

The few people at the next table couldn't stand it and stepped forward to argue.

The old scholar did not argue, but instead slapped the table with tears and laughter, then threw down the money, and staggered away step by step, which really made him look like a madman.

The teahouse was quiet for a while, and suddenly someone cursed: "Damn, I almost got fooled by this poverty! This is the teahouse, and he didn't drink, so he pretended to be drunk!"

In an instant, everyone laughed and the atmosphere became relaxed again.

How many lifetimes of blessings do you have to save when a true dragon appears in the world before you can see it with your own eyes?

Those who came to Taijing to go to business and study abroad were even more excited. Under the feet of the emperor, the dragon flowed through clouds and rain, which is a good omen!

Most people laughed happily, and some people laughed reluctantly. They were fooled by the old man who pretended to be a madman because they felt vaguely uneasy in their hearts.

It is true that a dragon is a good omen, but how could there be two dragons?

What is a golden dragon, and what is a black dragon?

They have a lot of speculations to say, but in public, they dare not speak out.

He had to wink at his friends and test it out. After judging that the other party had an idea that was consistent with him, he happily invited the other party to his home and closed the door and muttered slowly, so as not to be arrested by the patrol guards of the Taijing prefecture and the Jinyiwei of the Beizhen Fushi, and ask for a crime of rumor that confuses the public.

Going farther, it may be that the south is not peaceful, and maybe there will be a war.

Let’s talk about it in a closer place, is something going on in the capital?

Thinking of this, the people of Taijing became frightened. They did not forget the tragedy that happened in the capital sixteen years ago.

Palace transformation, usurpation of the throne!

*

Taijing is generally a regular square, divided into the outer city where ordinary people live, the northern city where dignitaries and nobles and yamen at all levels are located, and the last imperial city.

These three places are not paper structures each with one piece, but are closer to the north than the other, and the terrain is gradually rising. It is said that on the shelf of the imperial city, you can overlook the entire Taijing.

The center of the imperial city is Wanhe Hall, which is where the emperor holds a grand tribute and accepts worship from all officials.

Starting from Wanhe Hall, the imperial city was divided into two, called the outer court and the inner court.

The places where the prime ministers work in the yamen are naturally the outer court, and there are also the North Town Fushi Office, the South Town Fushi Office, and the inner court responsible for the six major situations of purchasing. During the Chen Dynasty, there was also the Dongji Office, which was an internal official, but now it is empty.

There is a large open space outside, and you can see the outside sky clearly without going out through the window.

When the rain washed away the white marble floor and steps, there was no one outside except the guards on duty.

Only Prime Minister Jiang's cough could be heard in Wenyuan's cabinet.

The old prime minister threw a pen in anger, and the ink was splashed everywhere.

Prime Minister Zhang next to him said angrily: "All things have happened, what's the use of you to throw your pen? It can also make the entire capital suddenly blind and dumb, and all shut up and stop talking?"

A dragon appeared in the sky, and the people watched the fun, but it was very bad when they fell into their eyes.

Since Prime Minister Jiang discovered that this could not have been a scam created by alchemists and others, he almost fainted from anger.

"Which god did you offend? First, Pingzhou was quake, and then the Lantern Festival made a fuss. Everyone could see clearly. It would be fine. Yesterday, red clouds appeared in the sky, and now... are there!" Prime Minister Jiang coughed and cursed.

He didn't say the word dragon after all.

Several Zhongshu Sheren shrank their heads and did not dare to persuade them.

There are two prime ministers in the Qi Dynasty, and neither one is easy to mess with. Although Prime Minister Jiang is old and looks like an old minister, he is still unambiguous when he is angry. Prime Minister Zhang also suffered a loss a while ago. The relationship between the two prime ministers has become increasingly tense recently, and they are almost about to break up.

Today, the official Pingzhang Zhengshi Jiang, who was on duty, stepped forward and said, "Jiang Xiang, Zhang Xiang, things are not that bad, it depends on what the Imperial Heaven Supervision said."

A good omen, aren’t it all verbal matters?

The Emperor's failure to calculate the quasi-star in the Imperial Heaven Prison has already made the emperor angry. He should have been aware of it now. As long as it is not a bad omen, the emperor will not have to issue an edict to blame himself, nor will the prime minister take the blame, nor will the government and the country have to turbulently deal with a group of officials.

Prime Minister Jiang is old, and Prime Minister Zhang has not won the holy heart recently. They all feel that they are likely to be forced to resign.

"Let's wait for the inner court to send a message over!" Prime Minister Zhang sighed.

If such a big thing happens, the emperor must summon his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

As expected, before the rain stopped, the inner court came with the imperial order and oral order.

The prime minister has a sedan chair for transportation, but this sedan chair is actually a spacious and comfortable chair with a slide rod, allowing four strong eunuchs to carry them. In summer, there are a few more eunuchs holding umbrellas to block the scorching sun.

It is a great favor to go to and from the imperial city to ride a sedan chair, and you can't choose any sedan chair.

For example, now, rain follows the wind, and umbrellas and straw raincoats are all useless.

But the two prime ministers did not dare to delay at all.

They had long understood the temperament of the Qi Dynasty emperor Lu Zhang, who was just a donkey. They must not go against the emperor, even if it was a word. The emperor was kind and generous on the surface, and he would give rewards from time to time to show his virtue. If something really happened, he would not care about the old ministers' troubles when summoning people to meet him.

Prime Minister Jiang kept coughing, and was so embarrassed by the rain that he couldn't help but feel depressed.

Stop, let’s go old!

He can't control his disciples and old officials.

As for whether he will be impeached by his former colleagues after he retires, and whether he will be convicted by the emperor's house, it is no longer something he can control.

He was in a daze and came to the front of the hall gate. Prime Minister Jiang took the soft towel handed over by the eunuch and wiped his face. Then he saw Zhengshi Jiang, who was like a chicken, who was not sitting in a sedan chair and had water in his official boots, so he didn't dare to take it off.

The three of them were just like fishing out from the water, and they wiped their faces and clothes, put on their official hats again, and were urged by the eunuch to see the emperor.

Lu Zhang indeed ignored their "lost manners in front of the emperor", and did not even give him a seat, and his face was as cold as ice.

Prime Minister Jiang lamented in his heart, and was about to take the initiative to take off his official hat and apologize, but the emperor sternly said: "Someone in the inner court wants to rebel!"

Prime Minister Jiang shivered and almost thought he had heard it wrong.

The Qi Dynasty royal family was so thin that there were almost no royal families. All the royal families were the emperor's sons and now they all live in the inner court.

Apart from these princes, they can't be concubines who rebel!

Prime Minister Zhang and Prime Minister Jiang looked at each other, and their first reaction was that the emperor was suspicious and sick.

The queen died many years ago, and she didn't even have a real favorite concubine in the harem. She had never heard of any concubine with a prominent foreign family. They were either the daughters of small officials or the daughters of nobles in the previous dynasty. Her parents' family was in disgrace and relied on the holy favor to live.
