Chapter 1346 The strange movements of the blood moon
Qin Shaoyou did not continue to trick Luo An.
He found that although Luo An was mentally unstable, he still remained vigilant and cautious.
As soon as he finished speaking the previous sentence, he realized that he had let it slip, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
Qin Shaoyou immediately pretended to be unstable, as if he didn't hear the flaw in Luo An's words, and just said excitedly and impulsively: "Sir, do you really don't care? Maybe there is some evil spirit doing evil. Fa, if we can catch him, it will definitely be a great achievement!"
Luo An had not seen the previous reactions of Zhu Xiucai and Cui Youyou, so he would not know that Qin Shaoyou was imitating them at this moment.
"Just go and rest if I ask you to. If you want to make meritorious deeds, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Don't rush now."
In Luo An's view, Qin Shaoyou's desire was aroused by the blood moon.
It seems that his desire is to perform meritorious service and be rewarded, and there is no other problem.
Luo An was relieved.
He knew Qin Shaoyou's abilities and also knew the importance of this boy to Emperor Jianwu.
Since there is nothing wrong with Qin Shaoyou's performance, he cannot be allowed to die in vain, lest Emperor Jianwu pursues his case and he himself cannot afford it.
So Luo An kept a straight face and strictly ordered Qin Shaoyou to go back and rest, and not to leave the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division without his own orders.
Qin Shaoyou accepted the order and left angrily.
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, the impulse and excitement on his face immediately disappeared, and he told Zhu Xiucai, Cui Youxu and others what Luo An said and all his speculations.
After listening to this, everyone came to the same conclusion as Qin Shaoyou.
A temple shrouded in blood-colored light beams is most likely a trap!
Emperor Jianwu had already made arrangements there to lure people into the urn.
Monk Ma pronounced the Buddha's name and said, "It seems that Emperor Jianwu also knew that someone wanted to destroy his sacrifice."
Cui Yougui shook his head: "Monk, aren't you talking nonsense? The royal mausoleum was destroyed and Sixiu was rescued. Even if the foolish king is a fool, he can see that someone wants to destroy him to sacrifice to the mad god, let alone him Not stupid yet."
Zhu Xiucai was thinking: "If the temple shrouded in bloody light beams is a trap, then where is the place where Emperor Jianwu really sacrificed?"
After a pause, he suddenly remembered another thing and said hurriedly: "Sir, we have to inform Commander Lu and Xu Jianzheng immediately. It will be terrible if they are fooled."
Qin Shaoyou replied: "I have sent Mo Dian to deliver the message. I hope I can make it in time. However, Commander Lu and Xu Jianzheng are both old foxes. They should be able to see the problems we can see, so there is no need to worry too much." .But the actual place of sacrifice for Emperor Jianwu is indeed a problem, especially since so far, there have been no clues or discoveries... We can only continue to be vigilant and monitor it."
However, after being vigilant and monitoring all night, I still found nothing.
Except for the temple shrouded in blood-colored light beams, there were no other strange phenomena in the capital that night.
Emperor Jianwu also stayed in the palace and the Immortal Palace and never left.
Although Qin Shaoyou's Mo Dian did not dare to approach the Dengxian Palace, he searched all over the palace and found no secret passages or traces of escape techniques.
The next day came in a blink of an eye.
As the first ray of sunlight appeared, the strange blood-colored moonlight receded like a tide, and the pain caused by the mad god's influence on everyone also eased and disappeared.
When the curfew ended, the capital regained its vitality, and waves of gongs, drums and shouts rang out on the streets.
Instead, there were teams of heavily armed police officers patrolling the streets, escorting prisoners covered in bruises in torture cars.
These people were the ones who burst into the temple shrouded in blood-moon light last night and ambushed and captured them.
In addition to the living, there were also many beheaded corpses, which were also pushed on carts and pulled by horses to patrol the streets.
Among these people were officials, monks, and some practitioners in the world.
They didn't necessarily know that Emperor Jianwu wanted to sacrifice to the mad god. Many of them discovered strange phenomena and went to inquire to see if there were demons worshiping the moon and practicing cultivation, but they ended up falling victim to it.
Only a few people knew Emperor Jianwu's intentions.
They either saw it themselves or received letters from officials and monks in Wuzhao Mountain.
But because there had been no concrete evidence before, this time we rushed to the temple shrouded in bloody light. In addition to destroying Emperor Jianwu and offering sacrifices to the mad god, we also wanted to collect some evidence so that we could overthrow Emperor Jianwu and replace him with another emperor for the Great Xia Dynasty.
At this moment, not only were they under the silencing curse, but their mouths were also tightly blocked.
This was to prevent them from shouting unfavorable words against Emperor Jianwu when they were parading in the streets.
Emperor Jianwu asked the policemen from the editorial office to patrol the streets with these people in order to use these people and draw out the forces behind them.
In fact, after catching these people last night, the editors tortured them severely. Unfortunately, the effect was very little and they were unable to pry their mouths open.
The torture must continue, but other methods must also be tried.
Qin Shaoyou and the others saw the scene of being escorted and paraded through the streets at the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division.
Although they didn't say anything, Cui Yougui, Zhu Xiucai and others felt a little scared in their hearts.
If Qin Shaoyou hadn't noticed something fishy last night, I'm afraid there would be several of them among the people being escorted through the streets now.
"Shaoyou, what do you think when you see this scene?"
At this moment, a voice came from behind.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Luo An walking over. His eyes were fixed on Qin Shaoyou, and it was hard to distinguish between dark and clear.
Qin Shaoyou pretended to be annoyed, regretful, and jealous, and said with a hint of complaint in his tone: "Sir, if we had sent someone there last night, we should have gotten the credit."
Luo An laughed, and the last doubt in his heart was dispelled. He patted Qin Shaoyou on the shoulder and said: "As expected of me, the tiger of the Demon Suppression Division. He always thinks about making meritorious deeds. Don't be discouraged. There will be many opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the future. This time
Let them enjoy their work for a few days."
After saying these words, he turned and left.
Qin Shaoyou was not in a hurry to start a discussion with Zhu Xiucai, Cui Youxu and others. He stayed at the door of the Yamen to watch the excitement before returning to the ward.
They waited until the time was right before Cui Yougui released the sound isolation technique, Taoist Master Qiu Shi released the sentry, and everyone began to discuss.
They were surprised and puzzled that Emperor Jianwu was silent all night.
But they felt that it was impossible for Emperor Jianwu to give up the sacrifice. And his physical condition made it impossible for him to wait until a few months later.
So there must be something fishy about this matter.
Previously, they had always believed that Emperor Jianwu's sacrifice should be carried out on a full moon night, because that was when the mad god in the blood moon had the best chance to break through the shackles of the blood moon and project his mad power into the world.
Only by offering sacrifices at that time could Emperor Jianwu obtain more benefits from the hands of the crazy gods in the Blood Moon.
But now it seems that their judgment may have made some mistakes.
In other words, they were disturbed by the news deliberately released by Emperor Jianwu, and were led away by Emperor Jianwu.
In addition to the night of the full moon, there may be another more suitable time.
What Qin Shaoyou and the others are most suspicious of now is the day of the prisoner presentation ceremony.
But they couldn't figure out why it was that day? At the same time, they were hesitant, could this be a smoke bomb deliberately released by Emperor Jianwu? Could it be a new trap?
Just when they were having a headache, Xu Jianzheng and Lu Bing brought them two pieces of news.
Last night, Qin Shaoyou sent Mo Dian to report the news to the two of them. When Mo Dian came back, a ray of spiritual thought was attached to them. They could communicate through Mo Dian, which immediately made communication much more convenient.
At this moment, after listening to everyone's discussion, Xu Jianzheng's voice came out from one of the ink dots:
"I just observed a strange celestial phenomenon.
It stands to reason that every full moon night is the time when the blood moon is closest to the ground. After the full moon night passes, the blood moon will move away from the ground.
But this time, although the full moon night has passed, the blood moon has not moved away from the ground, but continues to approach the ground.
Moreover, this celestial phenomenon has also suffered from human interference, and even I was almost concealed..."
