Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

The Jinxia Taimiao was extremely large, more than a hundred feet long from north to south and more than seventy feet wide, with three layers of walls.

The main buildings in the temple all face north and south. The main buildings in the temple are the Xian Hall (front hall), the Qin Hall (middle hall), and the Zu Hall (back hall).

The status of the Taimiao is very sacred, and no one is allowed to enter without the permission of the emperor or the chief of clan affairs.

There are internal guards strictly guarding outside the Taimiao.

Tuoba Hui asked someone to wait outside and walked towards the Taimiao alone.

The Temple of the Holy Ancestral Temple is mainly composed of golden nanmu wood. Inside, there are paintings of solid gold spirals and paintings of gold-carved black jade spirals. The ground is paved with gold bricks, which is magnificent and majestic.

The Taimiao not only enshrines the tablets of the meritorious khans of the Tuoba clan, but also the civil and military officials who have made outstanding contributions, which is the so-called "enjoyment in the Taimiao".

Of course, the two are not enshrined in the same temple.

Tuoba Hui entered the bedroom, also called the East Hall. Compared with the luxurious and grand outside, it was relatively simple inside. In front of the tablets of the Khans of all generations, there were three rows of burning eternal lamps.

Tuoba Hui glanced at the tablets of his ancestors, then he knelt down in front of them with a plop and said in a sad voice:
"Ancestors of the Tuoba clan, now the Wei army is invading our land and harming our subjects. To protect the Tuoba clan, Tuoba Hui, the thirteenth Khan of Jinxia, ​​has come here to ask for the Blood Seal and use my Tuoba clan's royal blood to open the Blood Seal. Even if I am cursed to have no descendants, I have no regrets in driving out the foreign enemies."

After saying that, Tuoba Hui kowtowed three times.

Then, Tuoba Hui stood up, walked around the three rows of eternal lamps, came to the table where the god tablets were placed, and stared at the god tablet at the top.

That is the tablet of Tuoba Xing, the first ancestor of the Tuoba clan. It was he who founded the Tuoba tribe and led the Tuoba tribe to rise.

Tuoba Hui lit three incense sticks and then bowed to Tuoba Xing's tablet. After that, Tuoba Hui, who originally had a sad expression, became extremely stern. After a brief hesitation, a gleam of determination flashed in his eyes.

He sucked towards Tuoba Xing's divine tablet through the air, and with a rustling sound, Tuoba Xing's divine tablet was caught in his hand. Under the base of the divine tablet, there was an iron chain as thick as a baby's arm.

Tuoba Hui pulled the chain to the bottom. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew from outside, blowing out all three rows of long-burning lamps. The originally bright bedroom suddenly became dim.

Tuoba Hui turned around and the table with the longevity lamps moved to both sides. A stone platform slowly rose from the middle, and on the stone platform was a brown-red lacquered wooden box about an inch in size.

The box was covered with strange and incomprehensible runes. The color of the runes was the same as blood, and looked particularly eerie.

As soon as Tuoba Hui approached the box, he felt an extremely strong suction coming from the box. It was a suction that seemed to pull his soul away.

Tuoba Hui slowly opened the box, and a beam of blood rushed out of the box. When he completely opened the box, the blood light released from it filled the entire bedroom.

In the box, there was a seal the size of a fist. I didn't know what material it was made of, but other people's seals were all carved with dragons and phoenixes, and were snow-white and round all over.

But this seal was blood red all over and carved with a lifelike skull.

Why is it lifelike?

Because at first glance, the skull looked as if it were coming to life.

Even Tuoba Hui, who was the emperor, couldn't help but feel panic when he saw the seal.

“Is this the Blood God Seal left by our ancestors?”

Tuoba Hui looked at the small statue with a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and recalled what his father had told him before he died.

"Hui'er, you know that four hundred years ago, Song Taizu was able to defeat Jin Xia with his strength. Why did he agree to our request for peace and withdraw his troops in the end?"

Tuoba Hui replied: "Because the Song Dynasty had just been established, the domestic foundation was unstable."

"No."

"We are the ones who surrendered to Emperor Taizu of Song."

"Not at all."

"My Jinxia is short of resources. Isn't it worth it for Song Dazu to go to war?"

"Not at all."

"What's that for?"

"Because our Tuoba clan has immortal treasures."

"Immortal treasure?"

"At that time, Song Taizu was so talented that he suppressed the entire Jinxia and no one could match him. At that time, the domestic situation of the Song Dynasty had no influence on Song Taizu's withdrawal. Even if Jinxia's resources were poor, if Song Taizu conquered Jinxia, ​​he could completely stabilize the turmoil of his newly established dynasty. The reason why Song Taizu agreed to our request for peace and withdrawal was because Emperor Wu at that time was holding a fairy treasure and seriously injured Song Taizu."

Hearing that Emperor Taizu of Song was seriously injured, Tuoba Hui immediately asked: "Why didn't Emperor Wu kill Emperor Taizu directly?"

His father said to him at the time: "Hui'er, do you know why Emperor Wu died the year after Emperor Taizu of Song withdrew his troops? It was because the cost of using the immortal treasure was too high. Emperor Wu was a warrior in the Divine Transformation Realm at the time, and was also the person in Jinxia who had the greatest hope of reaching the First-Rank Heavenly Man Realm. But after using the immortal treasure, he almost died."

……

In the "corridor" between the outer and inner city of the imperial palace, the Wei army was fighting with the Jin Xia army.

Because there are towering walls on both sides and the terrain is not open, not many people can enter the middle at once. If there are archers stationed on both sides of the wall, as long as they guard the gap into the inner city, no matter how many people come through this "corridor", they will die.

Unfortunately, Jin Xia’s top three warriors had either died or been maimed before, and Tuoba Hui had not yet appeared.

Therefore, despite such a good geographical advantage, the Jinxia Army was unable to make use of it.

The first thing Chen Mo did after entering the outer city was to lead his men to the city walls between the outer and inner cities, killing the archers lying in ambush on them and replacing them with his own men.

For a time, this place became the place where Jin Xia’s army died.

A Jinxia soldier, holding a knife in both hands and puffing out his chest.

Faced with the relentless advance of the Wei army in front of him, he kept retreating, but at this moment, the Jin Xia soldiers behind him suddenly shouted, and he hurriedly slowed down.

But the crowded crowd behind him immediately pushed him to the ground. After falling down, he struggled to get up like a cat that was about to burst into tears after touching water.

He knew very well that in this crowded "corridor" where people were fighting for life and death, the people on both sides would not care if he fell and would trample him into a pulp, so that even surrender would be useless.

After struggling for a few times, he was finally about to get up, but another person pressed on him. Soon, the long spears of the Wei army arrived. After the last piercing pain, the soldier fell straight to the ground. Even so, there were seven or eight holes in his body.

It turned out that after Chen Mo led his men to clear the Jinxia archers on the city wall, he immediately went around behind them and attacked them from the front and back in this "corridor" with the Wei army, causing a stampede among the Jinxia army in the "corridor".

In a short while, the "corridor" that was crowded just now was filled with corpses.

Sun Meng was at the front of the team. He was extremely tired, but his arms were still waving mechanically.

The blood and fighting on the battlefield are the best stimulants, making his body burst out with unprecedented strength.

The most important thing is that they have now reached the imperial city of Jinxia.

The country is about to be destroyed.

The rewards received for such a tremendous achievement are unimaginable.

Your Majesty gave an order before the siege that rewards will be given according to merit after the battle.

"Follow me. Enter the palace."

Chen Mo wiped the blood splattered on his face, and under the gaze of a group of people, he slowly entered the inner city with the guards. Soon, the watching Wei army also followed closely and entered this extravagant imperial city.

At this moment, Chen Mo sensed something, looked up, his face changed, and he saw a pitch-black area, unable to see the whole picture. It was like a square mountain, falling towards where they were.

"No, leave quickly."

Chen Mo circulated the innate spiritual energy in his body, performed the Great Sun Slash, raised his sword and swung it, and an invisible sword light about ten feet long slashed over with a devastating momentum.

The Wei army also soon discovered the sudden change. Just now, they felt that the sky had darkened. They looked up at the huge black mass pressing down and immediately panicked.

Fortunately, their formation was not disrupted and they retreated in an orderly manner.

But the "corridor" was a bit narrow, and a lot of people came in at once, so the retreat was a bit slow. There were still many people under this "four-sided mountain" with pale faces.

If this hit them, they would be turned into a pool of meat without a doubt.

"what?"

Chen Mo's face changed. The sword he had just chopped on the "Four-sided Mountain" did not move at all. As the "Four-sided Mountain" fell down at a high speed, a huge sense of oppression caused his legs to bend.

The ordinary Wei army soldiers who were under the "four mountains" were pressed to the ground, unable to move, and had to wait for death.

Chen Mo was shocked. A hot purple air lingered above his palm. He leaned over and slapped the bluestone floor heavily. With his palm as the center, a strong gust of wind blew in all directions.

The Wei army soldiers who were hit by the strong wind were blown away and left the falling range of the "Four Mountains". After landing, except for the warriors who had entered the realm of martial arts, they all vomited blood.

"Come on."

Chen Mo shouted loudly, and shot out from under the "Four Directions Mountain" like an arrow. As he did intentionally, a strong wind blew up on both sides of his body. The moment he rushed out, he swept up the Wei army soldiers who had fallen to the ground and had not reacted yet, and carried them away from the place where the "Four Directions Mountain" fell.

As he passed by Yuzhu, Chen Mo put his arms around her waist.

As for Nalan Yiren, she can take care of herself.

"Oh!"

After Chen Mo jumped out, less than ten feet away, the "four-sided mountain" fell heavily behind Chen Mo. The houses or other things under the "four-sided mountain" were all turned into powder at this moment.

The moment the "Four-sided Mountain" landed, it brought up a huge cloud of thick smoke and strong wind, and quickly chased towards Chen Mo.
