"Xianlu Posthumous Chapter" records that when the golden elixir disperses the power, the true essence returns to heaven, and all the spirits mourn together, this is called "returning to silence".

It is said that the golden elixir monks entered the late stage of decline, took the initiative to disperse their skills, and returned the true essence to the great road of heaven and earth.

The opposite is the "degeneration" of fighting and falling.

Maybe it’s because the former’s actions have some merit, so celestial phenomena often occur.

However, Lin Xiao only heard about all the above and got a glimpse of it in miscellaneous scriptures. Today, it was the first time that he witnessed the scene of Jin Dan's "return to silence" with his own eyes.

Facing the low roar in the dark clouds above his head, Lin Xiao followed Lu Guangqi closely, without stopping for a moment.

Looking around, many people in the city walked out of their houses one after another, looking in the direction of Bailong Temple with expressions of shock and astonishment.

There were many figures of monks flying up from Taipingfang City, passing through the pavilions and alleys, and galloping towards Bailong Temple.

As far as Lin Xiao knew, there were two Immortal Protectors in the White Dragon Temple, both of whom were mysterious and mysterious. On that day, Zhaoning City had some idea that one of them had entered a state of decline.

I heard it, but I didn’t expect it to come so quickly.

Thinking of the old Yulou again, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Today's old worry about the imperial court is really an undercurrent and a troubled year.

Because Bailong Temple is located in the northeast corner of Zhongdu City, it didn't take long for Lin Xiao and the two of them to see the white buildings built against the mountain from a distance.

The tallest one among them is the three-story main hall of Bailong Temple with white walls and gray tiles.

At this time, the pale blue light pillar was rising from the top of the main hall without a trace, piercing the sky.

Moreover, I was still far away just now, so I didn’t think anything of it. Now that I’m close, I find that strong winds are roaring down from the sky. Originally, I only had to force my spiritual sense to suppress it, but now I have to run at full strength to compete with it.

However, what makes Lin Xiao a little strange is that such a vision seems to only be effective for monks, and has little effect on mortals.

When they arrived at the gate of Bailong Temple, Lin Xiao and the two had just collected their body skills when two or three disciples of the temple, all dressed in white, flew over. When they saw the person coming was Lu Guangqi, they immediately bowed and saluted.

Then I heard the leader say: "Meet Brother Governor."

Lu Guangqi was anxious and asked hurriedly without waiting for greetings: "How is the master doing now?"

The leading disciple immediately replied: "At this time, Master and Uncle Master are in the main hall. Master felt that the body of the Dharma was inconsistent this morning. Unexpectedly, it would be like this..."

By the end of the sentence, my eyes were reddish and I was choked up and speechless.

Lu Guangqi also frowned when he heard this, and sighed loudly. "Where is the palace? Have you gone to report the news?"

"Senior brother, I have already sent someone," the leading disciple replied.

Lu Guangqi pondered for a moment, then nodded to Lin Xiao, and said to him: "This person is Qianshan Tizhu Muchuan, who is responsible for the internal and external communication here, and the central liaison. Xing Baichuan, the central capital guard, will bring people here soon."

, if you are assigned, just look for the two of them."

"Yes, senior brother, don't worry, junior brother will understand."

The leading disciple agreed, and then greeted Lin Xiao separately, without mentioning the rest.

Then Lu Guangqi said to Lin Xiao again: "Today something happened unexpectedly. When Xing Baichuan comes, he is immediately ordered to seal off the nearby market and the doorway. There are a lot of people waiting. No matter how immortal or mortal, they are not allowed to approach the White Dragon Temple."

"Yes, I understand." Lin Xiao replied.

"Also." Lu Guangqi suddenly turned over his hand and took out a jade talisman and handed it to Lin Xiao, "If something unexpected happens, crush this talisman and I will come over immediately."

Lin Xiao naturally understood what Lu Guangqi was worried about, so he said, "Don't worry, Lord Governor, my subordinates are well aware of this."

Lu Guangqi said "hmm" and nodded, then led by the leading disciple, they walked into the temple together.

Looking at Lu Guangqi's back, Lin Xiao frowned slightly. To be honest, if the two Jindans from the imperial court were sitting in to suppress Jiuyulou Meichengfeng, it wouldn't be a big problem.

I am afraid of the current situation. Even before King Qing rebelled, he was sure that if there was a change in Bailongguan, he would take the opportunity to cause trouble.

I just don’t know what kind of backup plan Jiuyulou has at this time.

But then again, Lin Xiao really didn't believe what Mei Chengfeng would do today.

As the saying goes, he plans before he acts. Since he has been planning for a long time, he will never change his plans at the last minute due to unexpected circumstances.

However, the death of Bailongguan Jindan was indeed the last obstacle to Mei Chengfeng's plan.

Just as Lin Xiao was thinking about it, Zhuo Qinghe had already driven over from afar with a middle-aged man and his twenty or thirty-year-old tantang disciples.

The two sides met briefly and found that Xing Baichuan was also a capable man. He immediately arranged for his subordinates to rush to the entrance near Bailong Temple, put on guard and disperse the onlookers from all walks of life.

Lin Xiao didn't say much about this. After all, he was far more skilled in his duties than the impostor himself.

And Lin Xiao also believes that with Lu Guangqi's methods, he may have a plan to deal with today's situation.

Not to mention the area around Bailongguan, even the old rain building, I'm afraid people are secretly keeping an eye on it.

Zhuo Qinghe walked up to Lin Xiao and asked quietly: "Senior brother, how is the situation inside? Has the governor gone in?"

Lin Xiao nodded, then shook his head and said: "I've already gone in, I guess I won't be able to survive today..."

Zhuo Qinghe's eyes trembled when he heard this, and he turned to look at Bailong Temple, with grief on his face.

Lin Xiao stood in the strong wind and looked up at the light beam that was originally light blue but was now obviously darker. He could clearly feel that the power of true energy gathered around Bailong Temple at this time was stronger than just now.

When it came, it was more than 10% rich.

And the low roars coming from the clouds are becoming more and more dense.

This is not a good sign.

So he warned: "Suppress your spiritual senses. Today is different from the past. The power of the true essence scattered around is getting stronger and stronger. It can even connect to the celestial phenomena. For ordinary monks, the impact is too great, so be careful."

"Yes, senior brother, don't worry." Zhuo Qinghe quickly replied.

While the two were talking, there was a noise at one end of the square in front of the audience.

After he stopped talking, he turned around and saw a group of armored sergeants leading the way. Dozens of cavalry guards from Yunzhong Temple were guarding both sides. A group of people surrounded a jade chariot with a canopy, approaching at high speed.

Before he could get close, he was caught by a disciple of Bailongguan Sect. He came to the main entrance and stopped hastily.

Then there was a loud sound, and before the guards could reach out, the jade curtain was opened from the inside, and a young man in a bright yellow brocade robe jumped out, walking straight into the gate without anyone else leading the way.

Lin Xiao looked at that figure and immediately knew that this person should be Bai Song, the current leader of the Guyou Kingdom. But at this age, he was indeed younger than imagined.

On the side, Zhuo Qinghe saw Lin Xiao looking at the emperor from a distance, and whispered: "Since your Majesty has been in power, your Majesty has been kind, respectful and frugal, diligent in government and caring for the people. He has great responsibilities and is in charge of thousands of people. In time, he should be the benevolent ruler of the world."

Lin Xiao turned around and smiled. "I don't think you have a low opinion of this person."

Zhuo Qinghe's face turned red and he just said: "Junior brother, I just said it casually, but this person's reputation among the people is not low. As the saying goes, the eyes of the people are very sharp, and they will never say anything wrong.

."

Lin Xiao lowered his head silently and said no more. Suddenly he felt a gaze directed at him. He turned around and saw Cui Yishan, who was riding in the Yunzhong Temple, with a solemn expression on his face, and glanced this way from a distance.

The two nodded slightly and looked away.

"Today's battle is really quite big..." Lin Xiao said softly.

Zhuo Qinghe took up the conversation and said: "Not only is it not small, now the four gates of Zhongdu City are closed, and there is no way in or out. The garrison office has mobilized all subordinate departments, armed with armor, to patrol around. Moreover, the Yunzhong Temple has been

Order to station in Taipingfang City to prevent trouble caused by the night."

Lin Xiaoqing said "hmm", thinking that this worried emperor had indeed made all preparations and was just waiting for this day to arrive.

The two of them kept talking here, and there were more and more cars and horses at the gate of Bailongguan.

Under Zhuo Qinghe's low-pitched introduction, Lin Xiao finally understood that today, all the immortal sects stationed in Zhongdu City, masters of casual cultivators, and even important ministers and dignitaries of the court were all here.

But think about it, this Jindan senior in Bailong Temple is a figure who worries about a country like the magic needle that can stabilize the sea. If he loses his power and dies, it will be a big event like the collapse of the sky.

Among these people from all walks of life, Lin Xiao met an "acquaintance".

On such an occasion, Ning Guogong Mu Changqing naturally went there in person. As he was driving with him, Lin Xiao naturally saw Mu Xiyun's figure in one of the car windows.

The two of them just met each other in a hurry and then passed each other.

Even so, Lin Xiao was still startled. Just because he hadn't seen her for a few days, why did that beautiful figure become so thin?

Moreover, his brows were deeply furrowed and he looked sad, and he didn’t know what was going on.

When Lin Xiao saw this, he had a thought in his mind, turned around and asked, "What's going on in Ningguo Mansion these days?"

Zhuo Qinghe shook his head. "Reporting to Senior Brother, I haven't heard anything happened..." He then added: "Besides, this Ning Guogong has a distinguished status and a very human minister. To avoid suspicion, he usually does nothing but

Your Majesty invites you, otherwise you will rarely show up. Regarding what is going on in the mansion, Tantang really doesn’t have much useful information..."

Lin Xiao smiled when he heard this, looked at this cheap "junior brother" up and down and said: "I have forgotten about this in the past few days since I came to Zhongdu. Now when I listen to your words, why do I feel like I have taken on some new errand?

”

Zhuo Qinghe suddenly heard such a question, and immediately said with a bit of embarrassment: "This, this is not just the favor of the governor, the promotion of the senior brother, now the junior brother has been transferred from Zhaoning, joined the Tantang General Division, and served as the school minister.

."

A hint of understanding appeared on Lin Xiao's face. This "school official" existed in ancient times. He was responsible for waiting for traitors, opening up favors, observing the enemy's intentions, and collecting intelligence. No matter which country or dynasty he was in, he would do it.

It is a highly used position.

Seeing that Zhuo Qinghe, who had followed him out, could do what he did, Lin Xiao was certainly happy for him, so he said: "As you hold an important position, you need to work harder and don't let down what you have learned."

Zhuo Qinghe immediately bowed and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, don't worry, junior brother, I will fulfill my duties and live up to what I said..."

Lin Xiao patted his shoulder heavily, and just as he was about to speak, his consciousness trembled inexplicably, and the sky above his head lit up!

A "buzz" sound!
