The establishment of the Gewuyuan is extremely important, but the sacrificial ceremony is about to be held tomorrow. Shi Yue has no time to participate in the affairs of the Gewuyuan. Fortunately, Hongxing, Thieves, Shuyan, Ming and others can also handle trivial matters very carefully, so as not to
Things got messed up, and he tried his best to cope with the sacrificial ceremony.
Kang Shanzhen completely left the sacrificial ceremony to Tian Fen and Shi Yue.
Because the sacrificial ceremony is related to the lives of the young emperor, the empress dowager, Prince Fu Yanjun, Xiao Yan, Kang Shanzhen, Bai Mochou and more than 200 important ministers, they must not be underestimated. Therefore, Shi Yue and Tian Fen
He was extremely concerned about security - especially Shi Yue. He knew that the Empress Dowager would definitely take action, so he naturally had to operate with caution.
"Where is Mr. Tian? Why haven't you come yet?"
Tian Fen has been very busy these days and has to do everything. The only exception is that he did not come to Jile Temple today, which makes Shi Yue puzzled. Tomorrow is the sacrificial ceremony. How could this guy disappear at a critical moment? [
Sun Meng said: "Master Tian was not here last night, and I don't know where he went."
Shi Yue didn't pay too much attention, and took his people to familiarize themselves with the terrain, striving to make his brothers familiar with every inch of the land of Kek Lok Temple.
But Tian Fen didn't show up for a whole day.
Shi Yue sent someone to Tian Fen's mansion to invite people, but was told that Tian Fen was not feeling well and would not see any guests today.
"You were fine yesterday, why are you sick today? What kind of trick are you playing?"
Shi Yue hadn't considered this matter very important at first, but when he heard that Tian Fen was feeling unwell, he became a little nervous - tomorrow is the sacrifice ceremony...
Shi Yue was full of melancholy, and ordered Lei Dahu and others to guard the area around Jile Temple tonight. If there was any disturbance, they would be killed. He had strong confidence in the black-clothed guards he had trained. After giving the order, he returned to Mingyue Tower full of melancholy.
, drank some wine, and had no intention of teasing Hongxing, so he slept alone with his clothes on.
After sleeping for only an hour, he woke up with so many things on his mind that he finally suffered from insomnia.
When I opened an account, I found that the dark clouds covered the moon, the night was dark, the sound of the night was silent, there was a slight breeze, and it was so quiet that it was so depressing that it made people feel breathless.
Suddenly, my ears twitched, and a strange sound sounded faintly.
Is there a thief?
That little thief didn't open his eyes and actually sneaked into my room?
Shi Yue carefully looked around, only to find that there was a black shadow squatting underneath. He took a look and was overjoyed: it turned out to be Wang Qinian.
Wang Qinian took the fragrant tea handed over by Shi Yue, took a sip, and then said sadly: "Brother Shi, I am known as the magical Taibao, but you discovered me without even thinking about it. It's so boring."
Wang Qinian was Tian Fen's confidant, but because Tian Fen wanted to kill Shi Yue and did not care about Wang Qinian's life and wanted to kill him together, Wang Qinian was extremely hurt.
In times of crisis, Shi Yue saved Wang Qinian's life. From then on, Wang Qinian became Shi Yue's man...
"Brother Qinian, why are you so modest? I just have a good nose and discovered your whereabouts by accident. In terms of stealth methods, I am far behind Brother Qinian."
Shi Yue joked for a while, but didn't have the patience to talk in circles, and asked straight to the point: "What's the news about Tian Fen? He didn't show up today? What trick is he playing? He's not feeling well, who are you kidding?"
Wang Qinian sighed, "Tian Fen is in retreat today."[
"Retreat?" Shi Yue was surprised, "How long will the retreat be? Ten days? One month? Half a year? He won't participate in the prayer ceremony?"
Wang Qinian said again: "I have just left the quarantine."
faint
Shi Yue despised Wang Qinian in his heart: Didn't you deliberately amuse me?
Shi Yue said: "Retreat for a day? Is this really unheard of? What effect can it have?"
“Big difference!”
Wang Qinian said: "Although Tian Fen was in seclusion for only one day, after he came out, his aura was even colder than before, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife, so sharp that it was terrifying. His martial arts must have made a breakthrough."
A breakthrough can be achieved after one day of retreat? Shi Yue doesn't believe this kind of thing.
In martial arts training, unless there is external help, it is difficult to make rapid progress by practicing alone. Moreover, the higher the martial arts, the harder it is to make progress. According to Tian Fen's method, if he wants to make further progress, he is afraid that it will be difficult to achieve.
More difficult.
Listening to Tian Fen's situation, Shi Yue's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered that Cheng Ye's martial arts had also improved by leaps and bounds. Is there any inevitable connection between the two people?
But I heard Wang Qinian say mysteriously: "During Brother Shi's more than ten days of traveling, a mysterious person came to Tian Fen three or four times. I did not find out the identity of that person, nor did I report it to Brother Shi. But now
Tian Fen's skill has greatly improved, and I'm afraid something might be fishy, so I came here to report the matter to Brother Shi.
Shi Yue frowned and thought for a long time, and then said: "Brother Qinian, is there any other news?"
Wang Qinian said again: "Tian Fen is going out alone at midnight tonight."
"Going out alone?" Shi Yue squinted his eyes and said, "The secret that even Brother Qinian cannot see makes me full of curiosity."
Wang Qinian then added, "Ten miles away, there is an ancient Tao Pavilion, where there is an ancient Taoist tower. Most of them hold secret discussions on the top of the tower. It is the home of Tian Fen's secret discussion. I have been there three times."
He drew the map by hand and explained the terrain to Shi Yuelai.
Shi Yue said: "Brother Qinian, why don't you follow him?"
Wang Qinian said: "Tian Fen has another task for me. I don't have the resources to do it, so I have to let Brother Shi do it himself. Well, it's getting late and I have to rush back immediately. Brother Shi, it's up to you to decide."
He drank the fragrant tea, cupped his hands, turned over from his mouth, and disappeared into the dark night.
Ancient Dao Pavilion? Ancient Dao Pagoda?
A curious smile appeared on Shi Yue's lips: Tian Fen? Let's see what tricks you can do? He put on his night clothes, packed everything, jumped out, and went straight to the ancient road pavilion.
Wang Qinian explained the map in detail, and Shi Yue found the ancient road pavilion with almost no effort.
This is an abandoned garden. It can be seen from the ten-story ancient Taoist Tower that this place was once more glorious, but it declined for unknown reasons.[
Shi Yue calculated that the time was coming soon, so he climbed up to the tenth floor of the ancient Taoist Tower and hid on the dark platform ten floors away. It was a good place for peeping and it was convenient for escaping. It was a good place for eavesdropping.
After about an hour of burning incense, Shi Yue, with his super eyesight, spotted a black shadow walking into the tower. After a while, the figure appeared on the rooftop.
It was Tian Fen.
"My martial arts skills have really improved a lot!"
Shi Yue practiced Fangzhongshu and became sensitive to the aura. He felt that the aura emanating from Tian Fen's body was even colder and colder.
"What the hell is going on?"
Shi Yue is like a curious cat, eager to know the truth.
Another black shadow appeared at the bottom of the tower. After a while, the black shadow appeared at the top of the tower. When Tian Fen saw it, he couldn't hide his surprise, "Why is it you?"
The man also exclaimed uneasily, "Why is it you?"
Listening to the voice, Shi Yue sneered in his heart: "It is indeed him!"
