The majestic Imperial City of the Tang Dynasty is bathed in the dawn light, and the Tai Chi Hall stands out from the crowd. The golden glazed tiles glow with golden light under the dawn, highlighting the glory of the Tang Empire.

There are doors on four sides of the Tai Chi Hall, but the emphasis on the four doors is quite different.

The main entrance is naturally the entrance for courtiers to enter the palace, but the emperor often enters through the east side door, which represents the purple energy coming from the east.

The back door is the entrance for the eunuchs and maids who clean the main hall, while the west door is usually closed.

After the dynasty is over, the four doors will be closed. Even if the slaves enter the palace to clean, there will be deacons and eunuchs who will open the doors specially. During the cleaning process, all eunuchs and maids will have special supervision.

However, today's saints are not diligent in attending court meetings. They often attend court meetings four or five times a month or even less. Unless there is a major matter that requires the civil and military officials of the court to be summoned to discuss politics, saints usually deal with the issues in the imperial study room, and the various ministries and yamen

If there are important matters, the saint will also summon his ministers in the imperial study.

Therefore, the four doors of Tai Chi Hall are closed most of the time, and people are sent to clean it every three days.

At this time, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was outside the main gate.

She is still some distance away from the main entrance, and outside the main entrance there are hundreds of dragon-scale guards with distinctive armor on full alert. More than twenty crossbowmen are aiming at the main entrance with arrows and crossbows, ready to fire at any time.

The saint in yellow brocade clothes looked quite heroic at this moment. He frowned as he looked at the dilapidated main entrance.

The old madman entered the Taiji Hall directly from the main entrance. According to Tantai Zhangyue's report, the door of the hall was closed and could not be pushed open, so the old madman directly slashed at the door.

That sword was really powerful. It cut a big gap in the main entrance. The old madman entered the main hall through that gap in full view of everyone.

The Imperial Guard later entered the main hall, but they did not dare to destroy the main door and rushed in through the gap in the main door.

At this time, there was a dead silence inside and outside the hall. The saint could not see clearly what was going on inside the hall through the gap in the hall door. After a long time, he nodded slightly to Tantai Zhangyue beside him.

Tantai Zhangyue then stepped forward and shouted loudly into the hall: "God of Fire, please come out and speak!"

Tantai Zhangyue actually didn't know who Zheng Qianqiu was, but he could only say what the sage told him to say.

The saint naturally knows the great masters in the world very well.

Although no one witnessed the battle between the Blood Demon Zheng Qianqiu and the Sword God Linghu Changle in the Kunlun Mountains, there were many rumors and theories, and the Saint was one of the few who knew the details.

Zheng Qianqiu was born in the Wutuo Khanate. He was the god of fire who was revered by the Wutuo people. There were even fewer people who knew this secret, but the sage knew it all.

Tantai Zhangyue shouted three times in a row, full of energy, but there was no response in the hall.

The saint frowned slightly, raised his hand to signal Tantai Zhangyue to come over, and whispered a few words into his ear. Tantai Zhangyue then stepped forward again and shouted into the hall: "Zheng Qianqiu, do you know the Sword God Order?"

Where is Hu Changle?"

There was still no sound in the hall. Tantai Zhangyue couldn't help but look back at the saint. Seeing that the saint Yun Danfengqing had no expression on his face, he could only prepare to call out a few more times.

He was about to shout again, but he heard an exclamation. The Forbidden Army warriors who were waiting in full formation couldn't help but take two steps back as if they had seen a ghost. Each of them looked frightened, and Tantai Zhangyue also looked at it.

Arrive, from the gap in the front door, a figure appeared like a ghost.

"Escort!" Seeing the man appear, Tantai Zhangyue quickly retreated and shouted in a deep voice like a conditioned reflex.

The saint was calm, his eyes fixed on the old lunatic who came out of the hall.

Just as the report said, the old madman was in ragged clothes and disheveled hair. His fluffy and messy hair and beard all over his face made it impossible for people to see his appearance clearly. At first glance, he looked like a lowly man in the market.

A miserable beggar.

The old madman obviously didn't care about his clothes, maybe he didn't even realize how bad he looked.

"Where is Linghu Changle?" The old madman looked around and said loudly: "Who called me just now?" His eyes swept around. Although he looked like a beggar, his eyes were extremely sharp. Wherever he passed, those dragons

The scale guard felt a chill on his back when he was swept by those sharp eyes.

Suddenly, the old madman's eyes passed through the crowd and finally stopped on the saint.

This is also a reasonable thing.

Outside the main hall, there were all soldiers of the Forbidden Army in bright armor. Only the saint was dressed in brocade robes, which made him look very special.

"Are you the blood demon Zheng Qianqiu who fought against Linghu Changle?" The saint put his hands behind his back, looked calm, stared at the old madman and said, "Are you the defeated general of Linghu Changle?"

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Qianqiu's figure flashed, and the Forbidden Army warriors standing at the forefront felt their eyes blurred. Although they knew that something was wrong, they were unable to react at all.

The archers and crossbowmen originally aimed their crossbows at the old madman, waiting for the old madman to take action and then fired their crossbows. However, when the old madman took action, the archer and crossbowmen realized that they could not react in time.

The old madman was really like a ghost. In full view of everyone, he easily passed through the obstruction of two rows of forbidden troops and arrived in front of the saint in the blink of an eye.

Everyone changed their color in shock.

With the old madman's skills, it would be easy to take the saint's life at this time.

In fact, when the saint came to Tai Chi Hall, many soldiers of the imperial army felt that it was inappropriate.

Today's Taiji Hall can be said to be the most dangerous place. The saint approached the dangerous situation with the dignity of ninety-five. Although his courage is admirable, his move is really a bit ill-considered.

But what was unexpected was that the old madman did not draw his sword. He just stood in front of the saint, looking at the saint up and down like a hunter watching his prey.

The saint was in danger, but he still remained calm. Not only did he not show any fear, but there was also a slight smile on his lips.

"Do you know who I am?" The old madman stared at the saint with his eyes, "How do you know who I am?"

"In today's world, apart from Linghu Changle, the only master who has the ability to break into the Imperial City of the Tang Dynasty alone and come in and out freely is Wutuo Fire God." The sage said with a smile: "The Sword God respects you very much."

The old madman said in surprise: "Do you know Linghu Changle?"

"I know you." The saint nodded and said, "And I'm very familiar with you."

But the old madman chuckled and said: "Many people say they know the Sword God, and there are also people who use his name to cheat and deceive. I have met many of them. Do you know what the fate of those people is?"

"Of course I'll kill them all!"

The old madman was surprised: "How do you know?"

"The Sword God and the Fire God are the two most powerful masters in the world. Although you have had a duel, you are not enemies. You cherish each other and respect each other." The saint said slowly: "If someone uses the name of the Sword God to defraud,

He ruined the reputation of the Sword God, but was met by the Fire God. Of course, the Fire God will not show mercy."

When the old madman heard this, his eyes showed joy, and he laughed and said: "Yes, yes, you are very knowledgeable." But something suddenly occurred to him, and his laughter stopped abruptly, and his eyes showed coldness again.

Colorful, he said: "Did you just say that I am a defeated general?"

The saint was not afraid and asked: "Isn't it true?"

The old madman said coldly: "Where is Linghu Changle? If I fight with him again, he may not be able to beat me."

"If you fight again, the Fire God will still be defeated." The saint sighed, and before the old madman could get angry, he immediately said: "But if the Fire God finds the Heavenly Sword, he will be the best master in the world, the Sword God.

I am no longer your opponent."

"Do you know about the Heavenly Sword?" the old madman said excitedly: "Where is the Heavenly Sword?"

The saint smiled and said: "The Fire God came to Kyoto to get the Heavenly Sword?"

The old madman said: "The largest palace in the imperial city of Kyoto is the human world. If you find the human world, you can get the heavenly sword. But I searched the human world all night and didn't see the heavenly sword. Let me ask you, is the heavenly sword here?

In the palace?"

"God of Fire, may I ask, who told you that the largest palace in the imperial city is the human world?"

"The old monster in the stone castle." The old madman said: "The old monster sent people to burn me and the young apprentice. The young apprentice said that he would find the old monster and his men and kill them all. I kept walking to the west.

, I first wanted to find the old man in the mountain, and then I met the little maid. She had a way to find the old man in the mountain. The little maid was really smart. She led me to the stone castle on a weird mountain, and the old monster was in the stone castle.

The old monster and those under him are really vulnerable, I will kill them all with one knife!" At this point, he seemed to become excited thinking about the situation where he killed people in the stone castle.

Although the saint was smart, the words of the old madman sounded confusing to her. One moment he was a young apprentice, another moment he was an old monster, and another moment he was a little maid, which made Monk Zhang Er confused.

But she did grasp the key points from it.

The old madman actually slaughtered the old man in the mountain.

The saint was surrounded by Wei Wuya, a master of the world, and a dark yamen like Ziyijian. Not only was he very aware of the Jianghu forces within the Tang Dynasty, but he also had some knowledge of some forces outside the territory.

She knew that the Old Man in the Mountain was the leader of a mysterious force in the Western Regions. It was rumored that the Old Man in the Mountain had eighteen forts under his command and had raised a large number of boys and girls. They were trained since childhood. The men all became assassins when they became adults, while the women were trained to be spies.

master.

Wei Wuya once compared the Old Man in the Mountain to the Ziyi Prison, saying that the intelligence network of the Old Man in the Mountain in the Western Regions was actually more powerful than the Ziyi Prison's intelligence network, so the sage was quite familiar with the name of the Old Man in the Mountain.

And she also knew that the Old Man in the Mountain was mysterious and few people knew where he was. If it weren't for the fact that the Old Man in the Mountain's power was far away in the Western Regions, he might have become a trouble to the Tang Dynasty.

But she never expected that the blood demon would actually find the old man in the mountain and kill him with a knife.

The Blood Demon mentioned that he could find the old man in the mountain because he met a little maid, but he didn't know who the little maid was?

She asked the Blood Demon why he thought Taiji Palace was the human world, but the Blood Demon mentioned the old man in the mountain. It sounded like the two were unrelated and had nothing to do with each other. The Blood Demon answered the question incorrectly, but the Saint had already understood that the Blood Demon

Finding the Imperial City of the Tang Dynasty may have something to do with the old man in the mountain.
