Chapter 297 As long as the saint does not die, there will be more thieves
Chapter 299 As long as the saint does not die, there will be more thieves
On February 2, the dragon raises its head.
The edict of the saint to grant Zen to Mount Xi has been spread all over the world, and there are still nine months until November.
On the top of Huashan Mountain, the Xiyue Temple is almost completed, and wooden rafters are being laid. Although the construction period is tight, no one dares to perfunctory, and the carpenters are still carefully carving the patterns on the windows and coffins.
The rooftop sacrificial platform is relatively difficult to build, and it is extremely laborious to move the stones up the steep Huashan Road.
Xue Bai saw the construction process with his own eyes and believed that even if the interior of the rooftop was hollow, it would not matter. It would save a lot of materials and speed up the construction period.
When he first arrived in Huashan, the first thing he prepared was to recruit people. Next, he had to inquire and contact Lingtai Cheng, who was in charge of the matter. But after contacting him, how could he make him cut corners and save materials?
The construction period will be delayed.
If the construction period of the rooftop sacrifice platform is too late, Lingtai Cheng will panic, and then there is a possibility of being persuaded. And once he cuts corners, Xue Bai can hold his hand and try to control him gradually.
Once the idea is set, it’s time to look for opportunities.
That day, after the rain and the sky cleared, Xue Bai and Li Bai visited Mount Huashan.
"When I came here, I saw more than a dozen giant pine trees here. I named them 'Pine Pillars,' but now they have all been cut down to build the Xiyue Temple."
Li Bai said casually, and after a moment, he raised his hand, pointed at a huge rock, and said: "Fortunately, they can't knock this Hunyuan Stone."
Xue Bai looked up and saw water flowing down the rock wall. This was a small waterfall that could only be seen after rain. Although the water flow was small, it splashed down the cliff of Huashan Mountain, which was quite impressive.
"Brother Taibai named every tree and stone on Huashan Mountain."
"I didn't name it blindly." Li Bai said with a smile: "According to legend, Nuwa quarried stones to mend the sky, and she once selected this stone. However, it was stubborn and had no intention of mending the sky, so it was named 'Hunyuan'. Go and knock it and see.
How hard is this rock?"
Xue Bai climbed up the giant rock and looked out, only to see a bridge on the mountain road below. Workers were carrying auxiliary materials across the bridge in an endless stream, like ants moving, it was a spectacular scene.
He then thought that if the bridge was destroyed at night, the Prime Minister of Lingtai would come over in a hurry the next day.
We have a general idea for this matter, but the specific details and manpower have to be considered and discussed with Du Jin.
At this time, someone came from the bottom of the mountain and whispered to Xue Bai: "Mr. Lang, the second mother is here."
After a while, they looked around and saw a group of people carefully following the workers up the dangerous road in Huashan.
Li Bai had good eyesight and could spot several women among them at a glance, and joked: "I wonder if Sanlang is married?"
Xue Bai couldn't deny it, so he asked: "Where is brother Taibai?"
Li Bai sighed and didn't answer. He just raised his hand and gestured with four fingers, indicating that they had been kissed four times.
He was very sensible. When he saw Xue Bai's family members coming, he went to find a Taoist from Zhenyue Palace to practice and let Xue Bai talk to his wife.
The reason for this is that Li Bai has actually noticed that Xue Bai is not willing to mention his life experience and background to him, and he does not force him to do so. If Xue Bai does not tell him, he will not take the initiative to inquire.
Making friends is about fun.
Xue Bai faced Du Jin, stood there without saying a word, stretched out his hand and held her catkins.
"Why did you come up?"
"Want to see you."
The two of them held hands and climbed up Mount Huashan, bypassed the East Peak, avoided the Xiyue Temple and the Tiantian Sacrifice Platform, and walked to a place on the edge of the cliff where the terrain was steep and high to look far away.
"Are you tired?"
"Yeah." Du Jin glanced at Xue Bai with some resentment, "My feet hurt like crazy."
"Sit over here."
Xue Bai wrapped her in his big cloak and leaned against the rock wall.
During the movement, he kicked a few small stones, and saw the stones rolling out of the rock wall and down the abyss.
The wind blew their clothes, as if they were going to be blown off the bottomless cliff and shattered into pieces.
"Ugh!"
Seeing this scene, Du Jin was frightened and hugged Xue Bai tightly.
Both of their hearts were beating very fast because they were frightened.
"Are you afraid?"
"Afraid." Du Jin said, "But I like it."
She put her hand into Xue Bai's arms and whispered: "Look, my palms are wet, but you are at such a high place, still like a stone."
"I came here every day to sit and think about things." Xue Bai said, "I named this place 'Si Guo Cliff'."
"What are you thinking about?" Du Jin asked, "Every time in the past, I knew what you were going to do, but this time, I don't know why you came to Huashan."
Xue Bai did not answer, but looked at the mountains and rivers silently with firm eyes.
Du Jin said: "Li Longji wants to enshrine Xiyue Mountain, saying that 'all the people will be safe and the frontier is peaceful', so if Nanzhao rebels, he will definitely not admit it. Are you here to prevent him from ennobling Zen?"
Xue Bai still didn't answer.
Du Jin said: "There are still nine months. We can stop it. You shouldn't come in person."
"Let him come." Xue Bai said: "We will kill him here."
Du Jin was stunned, his eyes fell on the edge of the cliff not far away, and he suddenly felt that his feet were weak and his whole body was weak.
It was rare that she felt so guilty. She was so frightened that she lost all her strength, and also lost her confidence and courage.
"I'm afraid...it won't work."
"Why not?"
"Why do we need to kill the king?" Du Jin said: "Our enemy is the East Palace. Only with Li Longji alive will we have more time to save money."
"Anlushan is about to rebel, Nanzhao is about to rebel, and they are in a critical situation, and the faint king still refuses to wake up... I can't wake up this man who is pretending to sleep. Killing him is the last chance to stop the rebellion."
Xue Bai looked at the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers with firm eyes.
He knew that regicide was difficult, but the experience of the past two years convinced him that if Li Longji did not die, there would be no way to avoid the Anshi Rebellion.
In fact, he vaguely felt that even a different emperor might not be able to prevent the Anshi Rebellion. But at least he would not be as arrogant, selfish and trusting An Lushan to an unshakable level like Li Longji.
If the Tang Dynasty was like a carriage being driven towards a cliff, Li Longji was the leading mad horse. When the carriage could not be dragged back no matter how hard it was dragged, Xue Bai decided to kill it first no matter what.
This crazy horse.
At that time, no one in the world could understand his feelings. This time, even Du Jin felt that this plan was too crazy.
But her first reaction was not to dissuade Xue Bai, but to hug him and kiss him.
Facing the abyss, the two kissed like this for a long time.
Finally, Du Jin whispered: "I also want to be as crazy as you, but I can't do it this time."
"I know." Xue Bai said, "At least try."
"But I don't think the situation has reached the point where regicide is necessary."
"It's enough to believe in me." Xue Bai smiled and said, "Until the saint dies, there will be many robbers."
~~
The next morning, Du Jin woke up early.
The bed she slept on last night was too hard for her, and with the worry hidden in her heart, it was really difficult to fall asleep.
Turning around to look, Xue Bai was still sleeping, lying on his back, his eyebrows full of heroic spirit.
She felt severe pain all over her body, so she thought to herself that she was the only one willing to agree to kill the king together for Xue Bai. The decision she made due to the temptation of men's lust might not be possible...at worst, they would die together.
But when Xue Bai woke up, his eyes still showed determination.
"Even to our close confidants, we only say that Nanzhao will rebel and the border will be uneasy, so we must stop the saint from consecrating Xiyue as soon as possible."
"yes."
"Find a craftsman who is good at repairing bridges, and then send people to demolish the upper bridge at night. When the mausoleum chief arrives, let our craftsmen approach him and relieve him."
"This matter is easy to handle." Du Jin asked, "Are you planning to do something to the rooftop?"
"Yes, but we still have to wait for news about Li Xiazhou from Shouyang Mountain."
"There are still nine months. It doesn't matter if you and I discuss the details. But if...if it really happens, what should we do?"
"Zhang Bian." Xue Bai said, "Once the matter is completed, I will meet with him alone in the name of supporting his appointment as prime minister, send people to restrain him, and force him to testify that Li Heng is the mastermind behind the scenes. He and Li Heng are on good terms.
, what we said is credible. In this way, we united with Ge Nu to be prepared to attack the unprepared, depose Li Heng, and help Li Cong ascend the throne. When the time comes, make Zhang Bian retract his confession and accuse Ge Nu, and An Lushan colluded to kill the king.
…”
"We don't have enough force."
"Chen Xuanli will accompany him to consecrate Zen, and a man from Huashan will be at the gate. In the name of arresting the murderer, fifty people are fully armed, which is enough to trap Chen Xuanli on the top of Huashan. To win over Guo Qianli, you can try to persuade Chen Xuanli to support Li Cong."
"There is another question. If Li Cong ascends the throne, will he fall out?"
"He didn't dare until Nanzhao was pacified. He needs my reputation and the teacher's reputation."
When she first heard about this, Du Jin was still upset.
It wasn't until she started to stop thinking about the scene when Feng Chan went to Mount Huashan and put her mind back on the preparations she should make now that she gradually became less anxious.
It was not difficult for her to deal with a small mausoleum chief. On the ninth day of February, she arranged for three people to get close to him. At the same time, she took action from time to time to cause trouble for the construction of the memorial rooftop and delay its construction period.
.
In mid-February, they bribed three officials and began to supply all the bronze utensils needed by Xiyue Temple.
Because the copper dealer who originally made the deal was reported for illegally minting coins and no longer dared to take over the matter.
Things are difficult, I can only say "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step".
~~
"What a 'go to the country with a sword, say goodbye to relatives and travel far away'!"
In Huayin County, in a carriage, a beautiful woman in her thirties heard the servant's report and muttered dissatisfiedly: "She said she was going to Chang'an to seek an official position, but she went to Huashan to enjoy the mountains and rivers."
"Madam, please calm down. Although Alang is...actually thinking about madam, he left a message at the guest house, saying that if madam arrives, you don't have to go to Chang'an and will wait for him in Huayin when he comes down the mountain."
"Mountain climbing."
The beautiful woman in the car looked pampered, but acted very decisively. She immediately turned the car around and headed south to Huashan.
When she arrived at the foot of Huashan Mountain, she got off the car and climbed up. She looked up at the steep peaks towering into the clouds before her, but she was not afraid at all. She ordered her servants to prepare for the climb.
Several female crowns came out of the Immortal Temple not far away. One of them was arranging for someone to inquire about the news. He glanced here and walked over.
"But... Tajun?"
The beautiful woman turned around and said in surprise: "Xiaoxian? Why are you here?"
"Tiankongzi, who is this?"
"Introducing you, Zong Duojun, is my uncle's granddaughter, one generation younger than me. Also, she is Li Taibai's wife; this is my fellow senior sister, Ji Lanzi, who has excellent poetry."
Li Jilan couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised. She stepped forward and saluted: "I have met the lady, and I have admired her reputation as a poet for a long time."
Zong Duojun said hurriedly: "Ji Lanzi doesn't need to be polite. Speaking of which, I am a generation younger than Xiaoxian. We usually get along with each other as equals."
The three women soon held hands and talked, and they were so happy that Zong Duojun even forgot about going to find her husband.
"By the way, why did you come to Huashan?"
"It's not that Li Taibai." Zong Duojun said, "We were going to live in seclusion in Lushan Mountain. After he got a letter from a friend, he went to Chang'an to seek an official position. When he arrived in Songzhou, he stayed at my mother's house for only more than ten days and he couldn't stay.
I'm used to it. If you insist on going alone to Chang'an, I have no choice but to chase you."
"What about him now?"
"Just above Mount Hua."
Li Tengkong and Li Jilan looked at each other and realized that Xue Bai had not separated from Li Bai. Probably because of Li Bai's extensive friendship, he actually found a place to live on Mount Huashan.
"Then let's climb Mount Huashan with you?"
"This mountain is high and dangerous. How can you two little ladies climb it?"
"It doesn't matter, we are Taoists, so we should go to famous mountains and look for immortals."
In this way, the three of them climbed Mount Huashan together.
Li Jilan looked at Zong Duojun with admiration and said: "Duojun is willing to travel thousands of miles for Mr. Taibai. It's really remarkable."
"Is it because of him?" Zong Duojun said, "I also like to visit Mingchuan Mountains."
Li Tengkong couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
Zong Duojun scolded her and said, "Why are you laughing?"
"I don't dare to laugh at you, but I admire you and remember your story of 'buying a wall for a thousand gold'."
Li Jilan couldn't help but be very curious, and quickly urged Li Tengkong to speak.
"Do you know how Duojun married Li Taibai?"
"Say it quickly, say it quickly." Li Jilan liked hearing about these marriage matters the most, and even forgot to pay attention to the dangers on the road to Huashan Mountain.
"That must be the third year of Tianbao, right? Li Taibai passed through Luoyang, went to Liangzhou, and Songzhou, played in Liangyuan with his friends, drank for three times, and wrote a poem on the pink wall. Not long after that, Duojun saw this
poem.”
"yes."
Zong Duojun was not ashamed, and sang openly: "I floated on the Yellow River to Jingque, and hung up on the banquet to enter Bolian Mountain..."
This is "Liang Yuan Yin". The poem is very long, and it is difficult for Zong Duojun to recite it word for word.
"That year, he had just been released from the Imperial Academy with a gold medal, and he was depressed. When I first read his poem, I saw a feeling of depression and dejection. I guess, anyone who encounters such a thing would be depressed. But this
Li Taibai was different. Later in his writing, he became more and more passionate. In the abandoned Liang Garden, he also wanted to drink and sing, and wanted to make a comeback like Xie An."
Zong Duojun said, a smile appeared on his face.
"I was thinking at that time, this person is really... a crazy person. But this crazy person has an unquenchable fire in his heart."
Li Tengkong looked at her smile and was stunned.
"So, Dajun bought that wall back."
"Did you buy the wall back?" Li Jilan was surprised.
Only then did she realize that she might be able to buy the four walls of the Lantian Inn.
"It's not that I admire him." Zong Duojun said, "It's that his poems didn't catch the eyes of the owner of Liangyuan, and the servants wanted to wash them away. I love talents, so I just paid for the wall."
Li Tengkong suddenly felt a little envious.
She envied Zong Duojun's courage, who dared to love and hate. She liked the poems on the wall and spent a lot of money to buy them. She liked Li Taibai and married them. Unlike her, he was as timid as a mouse.
Li Jilan was thinking that she also "loves talents" for Xue Bai, right?
Climbing halfway up the mountain, they looked back and saw a large group of people riding horses and rushing to the foot of Huashan Mountain, raising smoke and dust.
Li Tengkong couldn't help but worry, maybe these were the men sent by An Lushan to kill Xue Bai...
~~
That day, Xue Bai and Li Bai were strolling in the library of Zhenyue Palace.
Du Jin followed them and suddenly saw several volumes of "Book of Han" on the shelf. With a thought in mind, he took them down, opened them and looked at them, and found "The Biography of Zhang Liang".
"Han Po, there are three hundred boys from Liang's family, but his younger brother is dead and not buried. They all use their family wealth to ask for a guest to assassinate the King of Qin... The powerful man is an iron vertebra weighing one hundred and twenty kilograms. The Emperor of Qin traveled east to the Bolang Sands, and Liang and the guest attacked him. Emperor Qin accidentally hit the passenger car."
Du Jin read it back and forth several times, but could not find the details of Zhang Liang's assassination of Emperor Qin in Bolangsha.
With Zhang Liang's ability, he failed to assassinate the emperor, which made her a little worried.
The next moment, Xue Bai came over, held her hand, and calmly put the volume of "Han Shu" back.
"Don't panic." He whispered in her ear to comfort her.
Du Jin was infected by his calmness and confidence, nodded and said: "Okay."
She took one last look at the "Book of Han" and thought that a few years after Bolangsha, Qin Shihuang died and the world was in chaos. After all, it was Zhang Liang who stabilized the world.
In the evening, Li Bai was half drunk and half awake, holding a book and leaning on the rock to read. He was as leisurely and at ease as those tired birds returning to the west in the sky.
Xue Bai and Du Jin walked to the east peak and looked at the Xiyue Temple in the distance.
"I have to go down the mountain, arrange more manpower, and mobilize more money." Du Jin said, "I don't dare to do it without you around."
"You dare." Xue Bai said, "Just because I am by your side, you think you don't dare. But in fact, you are more powerful than you expected."
"You know what? I'm starting to think we might... make it."
"We just try our best, success or failure is something to come."
As he said that, Xue Bai looked at Xiyue Temple and thought, the next step is to try to go in and take a look.
It's still early before the Fengchan ceremony, and there are almost no guards on the top of Huashan Mountain. However, it is still a bit troublesome to enter an important place like Xiyue Temple without attracting attention.
At this time, Li Bai and a woman walked hand in hand.
Xue Bai then stepped forward to greet them. When he saw two female crowns following them, he smiled slightly bitterly.
"Xue..."
Li Jilan was very happy and was about to call out, but saw that Xue Bai had already indicated with his eyes that his identity should not be revealed for the time being.
~~
At night.
Everyone was on the top of Huashan Mountain, drinking wine and making wine orders to the moon.
Xue Bai's identity may not be concealed sooner or later, but at least for now, Li Tengkong and Li Jilan are willing to pretend that they are just acquaintances with him. In this way, they seem more comfortable with each other.
After the banquet was over, Li Bai was a little drunk, so he was supported by Zong and walked in front.
Li Tengkong whispered to Xue Bai: "I have something to tell you."
"good."
"Then let's go first."
Du Jin then took Li Jilan's hand and walked towards Zhenyue Palace.
Li Jilan looked back frequently.
When she saw Xue Bai and Li Tengkong standing together, she remembered another thing.
A month ago on the Lantern Festival, Li Tengkong ran out after seeing the poem "Tears Wet the Sleeves of Spring Shirts" in Xue Zhai. At that time, she chased after him and clearly saw that the two people were... hugging each other?
"Don't look at it." Du Jin smiled, "I don't want them to stay together even more than you do."
…
The moon in mid-February is very full.
Li Tengkong looked up and said, "It seems like the moon is seen from Huashan Mountain. It's really closer."
She thought about hiking with Xue Bai at night in Shouyang Mountain.
Xue Bai actually thought of it too.
"I came here to tell you that An Lushan is going to send someone to harm you."
"Don't worry, I know."
"I know you know...so, maybe I shouldn't come." Li Tengkong said, "I just...meddle too much."
Xue Bai felt very guilty towards her.
But this is Huashan Mountain, and it is easy to overlook the mountains and rivers of the world. So he was thinking that if he could prevent the chaos in the world, he could protect many, many people, and Li Tengkong was also one of the people he wanted to protect.
In this way, the heart hardened again.
He walked towards Xiyue Temple.
"I am more nosy than you." Xue Bai said, "I often feel that everything I do is nosy."
"You went to Huashan to play with Mr. Taibai, or to avoid trouble?"
Xue Bai said: "Guess?"
Li Tengkong said: "I don't know."
Ever since Xue Bai left the capital, she had always been in a panic, thinking that he was in danger or planning to do something dangerous.
"The saint wants to enshrine Xiyue, but this kind of thing can only be done when the world is peaceful." Xue Bai said, "I think... the world is not peaceful."
"so?"
Xue Bai did not answer, but stopped.
Li Tengkong looked up and saw a magnificent palace standing in front of him.
This is the Xiyue Temple. In November, the saints will fast here and prepare to offer sacrifices to heaven and perform meditation.
"Who?!"
A soldier from the front shouted: "This is a forbidden area, no casualties should come near it."
"Let's go."
Xue Bai actually had other ways to get in. After thinking about it, he decided not to involve Li Tengkong.
But Li Tengkong took a few steps forward, handed over a Taoist certificate, and said: "Princess Yuzhen's disciples come to make offerings to King Jintian."
"Golden King?"
"The Great Emperor of Xiyue is responsible for the creation of clouds and rain, the production of all things, the circulation of essence and energy, and the benefit to people. Therefore, it is necessary to offer sacrifices to the earth, and the mountains match the heavens. Don't you even know which deity the saint is offering sacrifices to?"
"this……"
"You've read the ultimatum and you still won't let me in?"
"Please, please, who is this?"
"The officer escorting me."
"Here."
Li Tengkong waved his whisk and led Xue Bai into the Xiyue Temple with ease.
This place has not yet been put into use, there is no one else inside, there are only empty palaces and rafters piled up in the courtyard.
The two walked towards the main hall. From a distance, they saw the moonlight shining from the roof without tiles and falling on the golden body of Emperor Xiyue. When Li Tengkong saw it, he stopped and walked to the side without looking away.
Instead of entering the palace, he walked into a veranda room.
"I know what you are going to do." Li Tengkong said: "You want to stop Feng Chan and let the saint face up to Nanzhao. I can help you."
"How can you help me?"
"I just thought of a way. For example, maybe we can ask Emperor Xiyue to send an oracle?"
"It's useless." Xue Bai said, "I want you to bring a few words to your grandpa."
"What?"
"Not now, it's still early. You go back to Chang'an first. I will talk to you when necessary."
"You want to coax me to go back."
"I'm serious." Xue Bai said, "I said that I can deal with Li Heng with your grandfather, but the condition is that he has to give up An Lushan. When that day comes, you may be able to save the Li family."
Li Tengkong said: "What day?"
"Be patient."
Li Tengkong suddenly frowned. His feet hurt badly from climbing a mountain all day long. He turned around and looked around, but there was no place to sit down.
This Xiyue Temple doesn’t even have futons at the moment.
Xue Bai then took off his robe and placed it on the corridor, saying, "Would you like to sit down for a while? Let me take a look at the layout of this place. Oh, it's right there. You can see me, don't be afraid."
He pointed to a high place.
"Well..." Li Tengkong suddenly said: "On the Lantern Festival, I..."
Xue Bai was about to leave, but stopped.
He turned around and saw Li Tengkong standing there. He couldn't stand very steadily because of the pain in his feet, but he hadn't sat down in the corridor yet.
She went all the way from Chang'an to Huashan, really just to listen to Xue Bai talk about mundane matters?
What I really want to say is that I don’t know how to phrase it several times.
At this time, Xue Bai stepped forward and hugged her directly.
"On the Lantern Festival, you said that you occasionally think about..."
"Sorry." He whispered.
"I...don't mean to apologize..."
For a long time, Li Tengkong put his hands around Xue Bai's neck and stood on tiptoes.
The weight of her body rested on his shoulders, and his feet finally stopped feeling sore.
After a long time, it seemed like it was dawn.
Xue Bai raised his head and looked into the distance with some confusion.
Li Tengkong opened his eyes, wiped the tears on his face on his shoulder, and murmured to himself in confusion: "It's just dark, and it's dawn so soon?"
"Let's go!"
Xue Bai had already held her hand, pulled her and turned around to run away.
~~
"What's wrong?!"
Zong Duojun was sleeping deeply when he felt Li Bai sit up suddenly and was awakened.
Faintly, there was a noise outside.
"listen."
Li Bai could sometimes stay drunk for several days at a time, but in fact he had a very good drinking capacity and could sober up quickly when he wanted to.
Finally, he heard clearly what was shouting in the distance, and murmured: "Going into the water? Let's go quickly."
He put on his clothes and stood up, ignoring other luggage and only carrying his long sword. After Zong Duojun had changed his clothes, he took her out.
When we arrived at the courtyard, we saw many Taoists running out carrying utensils that could hold water.
"Hurry! Xiyue Temple is flooded!"
Li Bai couldn't help but wonder, thinking that the Xiyue Temple had not been put into use yet, and not even a single candle was lit inside. How could it be lost?
He hurried outside the palace and saw Du Jin. Li Jilan came out and asked what happened.
Li Jilan looked around in panic and said: "Teng Kongzi hasn't come back yet..."
"Duojun, please take them away for a while." Li Bai said, "I'll go take a look."
"You have to be careful."
Li Bai patted Zong Duojun on the back, and at a glance, he noticed that Du Jin was the calmest among the people.
He couldn't care about this for the moment, and strode towards Xiyue Temple.
Ahead, fires were rising into the sky.
The wind on Mount Huashan was strong, which helped the fire and quickly enveloped the magnificent palace.
"wrong."
Li Bai rushed to the fire, looked up at the astonishing scene, and said to himself: "The fire started so fast?"
He grabbed a big man who was passing by and said, "Someone set the fire deliberately."
"Did you see that? Who are you?"
"Li Bai, Li Taibai."
"Did you set the fire?"
Li Bai was still looking for Xue Bai and Li Tengkong in the firelight. He was greatly surprised when he heard this. He turned around and saw a fierce face.
"What?"
"You were released by the saint, and out of resentment, you set fire to the Xiyue Temple."
Hearing these strange words, Li Bai actually laughed loudly and praised the other party: "Wonderful man, wonderful man, if I were drunk, I would really be able to do this."
"Then just explain it!" the other party suddenly shouted.
Two people rushed out from behind and held Li Bai down.
"Cover his mouth, keep quiet for now, and take him away!"
~~
The fire spread rapidly from the upwind to the downwind. If you weren't in the middle of it, it would be hard to imagine that people would not be able to run as fast as the fire.
Xue Bai looked back and saw a fire dragon that was blown out by the wind and swallowed up the rows of verandahs.
He could only take Li Tengkong to escape downwind, and escape from the Xiyue Temple through the south gate, but behind that was the rooftop sacrifice platform.
Suddenly, Li Teng, who had finally climbed Mount Huashan today, lost his footing and fell to the ground.
"I can't walk anymore, please leave quickly."
Before she finished speaking, Xue Bai picked her up and continued running.
The two turned around to look, and saw that the fire dragon had rolled in front of them.
"Don't be afraid."
The next moment, Xue Bai covered Li Tengkong's eyes and rushed straight towards the fire dragon.
At this moment, what he was thinking about was not life or death, but he was very sure that someone had deliberately set the fire.
who?
An Lushan? To burn him to death?
If he does not die, he must use this matter to get rid of An Lushan.
A wave of heat came over and the light was dazzling. Xue Bai hugged Li Tengkong and jumped hard.
When he opened his eyes again, the fire dragon was roaring angrily behind him, and in front of him was a towering sacrificial platform...
