Chapter 452 Nine Xingyue
Shen Mu's heart welled up in the heroic scene of the battle with Li Shimin's army on the plain outside Cijian City, where corpses littered the field and blood flowed into rivers. In terms of movement, the sword energy was vigorous, and immediately gave birth to a tragic and tragic momentum on the battlefield. The energy surged wildly in all directions with the momentum of his sword, and finally made him lighten all over, and forcibly resisted the entanglement of the heavenly magic force field. and release from oppression.

Shen Mu regained his freedom like a bird out of a cage, the long sword changed from sweeping to straight, and turned into a yellow light, piercing into the shadows all over the sky.

With a sound of "Peng", the sword sleeves collided, and the two retreated at the same time.

Heavenly Demon's field energy entangled him again, but this time he did not fall into absolute passivity, but could feel the situation of the force field being cast by Houhou, where it was strong and where it was weak, and even the changes and directions of strengthening and decreasing .

Houhou's snow-white and slender pair of jade hands protruded from the sleeves, palms facing him, with an indifferent and calm expression, and said softly: "Only my Heavenly Demon Dafa can have a chance to entangle Shi Zhixuan to death, and you and Ziling can rest assured." The rush to attack does not give him a chance to breathe. Therefore, we can only cooperate with all our strength, and there is still a chance to seal the Immortal Immortal Art of Poultry Xuan, and there is no other way."

Shen Mu pointed at the edge of the blade, and the blade energy burst out, forcing the entire aura field, and locked it tightly at the same time, regaining a little initiative, and said in surprise: "Aren't you going to kill me?"

A smile escaped from the corner of Wanhou's mouth, and he said, "How can I be willing to kill you? Both you and Ziling are men who are willing to recommend themselves to the bed, but if I didn't say that just now, how can I let you try the power of the demon Dafa? I don't know. Will the young commander change his mind?"

Shen Mu was very embarrassed, he refused to cooperate with Wanhou, the main reason was that he didn't want to cause Shang Xiuxun to misunderstand, but he taught Wanhou personally that her Heavenly Demon Field is indeed an effective magic weapon to deal with Shi Zhixuan, and the chance of killing Shi Zhixuan is great Zeng, for the sake of the overall situation, he should accept Houhou's "good intentions".

He sighed, "Can I answer Eldest Sister's question after I discuss it with Ziling?"

Hou Hou said indifferently: "Zi Ling promised earlier! You are only a fool who likes to be a hero. Time is running out, the sooner we take action against Shi Zhixuan, the more chance we have to break his seal of immortality. I will give you another day , you must give me an affirmative answer tomorrow afternoon."

After saying that, he floated away like a ghost.

The drizzle finally stopped falling, and the stars and the moon were seen again in the sky.

A moment before the second watch, Hou Xibai came back casually, saw Shen Mu standing by the window, thoughtfully, moved to his side and said, "The rain has stopped! I love this kind of drizzle the most, it makes it difficult to blur the scenery on the street Misty beauty, hey! Why hasn't Ziling come back yet?"

Shen Mu smiled wryly: "I'm worried about him, he should have come back earlier than me."

Hou Xibai frowned and said, "What's bothering him?"

Shen Mu said: "Let's wait a little longer, if he doesn't come back, we'll go all over the world to find him. Sigh! It would be nice if Chang'an was smaller!"

Hou Xibai said: "I received the latest news that Zhang Zhenzhou led the soldiers and civilians in Shou'an to descend to Tang Dynasty, and Wang Shichong began to withdraw the troops back to Luoyang one by one, clearly giving up Cijian."

Shen Mu smiled wryly, "I really don't want to hear anything about Wang Shichong right now."

Zhang Zhenzhou's surrender represented a successful step in Li Shimin's grand plan to isolate Luoyang, while Wang Shichong's army's morale was lax, and it was almost foreseeable that generals with foreign surnames would descend to Tang Dynasty one after another.

Shen Mu heard Xu Ziling's name at this time, his face darkened, and said: "We'll talk about it when we see Ziling. If you don't change into night clothes and a hood, do you think we are going to visit the palace?"

Shen Mu and Hou Xibai skimmed up to the roof, and when they were about to see the situation clearly, a black shadow flew towards them from a distance.

The two saw clearly that it was Xu Ziling, and went up to greet him with great joy.

Shen Mu complained: "Where is the good boy messing around?"

The three met on the tiled roof of another building and fell down to talk.

Xu Ziling sighed: "Not only did I meet Lao Shi, but I also watched him kill the people of Daming Zunjiao, including the good mother Shafang."

The two were all moved.

Xu Ziling told the story.

Hou Xibai said in amazement: "Yang Xuyan is actually an atom of Daming Zunjiao. If Master Shi hadn't said it himself, I wouldn't believe it."

Shen Mu was puzzled and said: "But when we were in Longquan, we obviously heard that the Great Venerable Feng and the atom were both there. And it is almost certain that Yang Xuyan was in Chang'an at that time, so there are two atoms."

Xu Ziling said: "I hope that this matter will come to light one day. I have a vague feeling that because Yang Xuyan is Shi Zhixuan's apprentice, he will never be able to gain the complete trust of Da Ming Zunjiao, so he will secretly cultivate another atom."

Shen Mu was startled and said, "You mean Yucheng?"

Hou Xibai asked in surprise, "Who is Yucheng?"

Xu Ziling said: "Don't think too much about it, shall we go to the palace?"

Shen Mu said: "To be correct, it should be Yin Zuwen's lair, let's go!"

The three jumped up and rushed towards the location of the Yin Mansion.

The three of them jumped onto the big tree overlooking the small building in the backyard of the Yin Mansion, and looked in the direction of the main building in the mansion. The lobby was brightly lit, and the sound of orchestral strings and bamboo was faintly heard.

Shen Mu said with a smile: "Yin Zuwen is indeed singing every night, and enjoys the prosperity and wealth in the world very much. I hope he can forget his roots and the world will be peaceful."

Xu Ziling said: "The pursuit of power and wealth will never end. It will only lead to a long look at Shu. Everyone in the Holy Gate has the mission of ruling the world with the Holy Gate."

Hou Xibai sighed: "I'm afraid I'm the only exception. I don't have the slightest interest in power and wealth. If you want me to be the emperor, you will force me to suffer punishment."

Shen Mu happily said: "If you were not such a person, we would not have explored the imperial palace together tonight and visited the Tang Palace under the moonlight."

Hou Xibai said: "I just went to inquire about the situation in the imperial palace. It is rumored that Li Yuan has been inviting famous masters like Ouyang Xiyi's generation to come out of the mountains and come to Chang'an for the past six months. These powerful seniors are all there. A person who can stand the test of time and establish a school. As for who are the masters, please forgive me for not being able to find half of the names."

Xu Ziling smiled wryly and said: "It's all my fault that Yue Shan is not good enough to make him feel threatened by your stone master. I'm sure he is recruiting enough experts to fight against your stone master. So we are very likely to encounter unexpected disasters tonight. "

Shen Mu said happily: "If there is no danger, how can there be any fun? Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, I believe in fate more and more. Since it is fate, no matter whether it is a disaster or a blessing, you can't escape it, so there is nothing to worry about." of?"

Hou Xibai echoed, "Young Marshal is right. Let's just let it go and steal the "Cold Forest and Qingyuan Picture" back, and then leave the 'short-lived' Cao San's swallow mark."

Shen Muzhong put his hands on his shoulders and said with a smile: "Xiaohou's intention seems to be two to one!"

Xu Ziling said displeased: "Stealing "The Picture of Cold Forest and Qingyuan" will do us any good?"

"Hey! Someone is here!" Xu Ziling said hastily.

I saw three people walking slowly towards the building along the gravel path among the trees in the garden, talking and laughing happily.

Shen Mu and the others watched carefully, and their first reaction was to close their eyes and close their pores, so as not to be alerted to their existence by the other party.

The man in the middle is majestic and mighty, although he is now wearing casual clothes, he still has the majesty and majesty of a majestic emperor.

It was actually Li Yuan, the leader of the Li Clan in the Tang Dynasty.

Both Xu Ziling and Shen Mu felt a sense of deja vu, but they couldn't remember who he was.

The other person took a half step back, probably because he asked himself that his identity was not enough to walk side by side with the two of them, and it was Yin Zuwen.

Li Yuan said with a smile: "Tonight is really exciting, Yin Guoyue's arrangement is beyond words, first-class beauties, first-class dance."

The hook-nosed old man smiled and said: "The more exciting thing is that they don't know that the virtuous younger brother is Li Yuan, Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and they can only get their bodies with power, but they will never be able to let the virtuous younger brother get the sincere admiration of that beauty like just now. .”

The two looked at each other and laughed, while Yin Zuwen laughed with him from behind.

The three people on the tree came to their senses, Li Yuan was used to being the emperor, so he wanted to have some addictions of "not being the emperor", slipped out of the secret path in disguise, and Yin Zuwen arranged entertainment for him in another identity.The lustful Li Yuan can't do without programs related to women's sex.The problem is that Yin Zuwen is Li Yuan's father-in-law anyway, and it seems unreasonable for Yin Zuwen to provide women to his son-in-law.However, as long as one thinks of Li Yuan's status as emperor, it is not surprising that he flatters and flatters Yin Zuwen.

Xu Ziling suddenly felt something wrong, as if he had captured a certain key point, but he couldn't grasp anything specifically for a while.

The three of Li Yuan stopped in front of the steps of the small building. Li Yuan nodded and said, "Only precious experiences can have real fun. Just looking at the scolding look of a beauty is hard to buy. Tomorrow night, I will entertain the merchants of Pegasus Ranch." Xiuxun, how about we come here to have fun later in the evening? Or go to another place?"

Yin Zuwen hurriedly said: "Everything is decided by the emperor, please give me instructions, and the ministers will make proper arrangements."

The hook-nosed old man frowned and said: "For the time being, you should only confine your activities to Yin Guoyue's mansion. When we get rid of Shi Zhixuan, then you can go wherever you like."

Li Yuan smiled wryly and said, "How dare Li Yuan disobey what your elder brother said."

Yin Zuwen changed his tone to a more flattering tone: "The boss is thinking about the emperor's safety! He is also thinking about the people of the world."

Li Yuan sighed with emotion: "Oh! Being an emperor! It's really not easy."

The three of Shen Mu on the tree stared at him from a distance, a smile escaped from the corner of Shen Mu's mouth, and said: "It's time to put on the mask! The attraction of the palace is much greater than the threat of Mrs. You, right? ?”

Shen Mu pushed away the bed in the room on the ground floor of the small building, and saw the neat light seams between the tunnel entrance square cover and the floor.Since the floor is paved with square stones, it is hard to notice if you don't pay attention. I thought it was one of the square floors.

Shen Mu used an expert posture to prevent Hou Xibai from sucking up the floor with his palm, and said: "We didn't hear the slightest sound of the tunnel opening before, so we know that the entrance is ingeniously designed. If it is not opened properly, it is very likely to trigger the alarm system. When we emerge from the other end, all the guards of the palace will be there waiting for us to come to the door."

Xu Ziling didn't have any confidence in his mechanism knowledge, frowned and said, "It's so dangerous, what can you do?"

Shen Mu said: "My method is to get the bottom line first and then break through. Come on! I want Young Master Ling's support."

Without saying a word, Xu Ziling put his palm on his vest.

Hou Xibai watched curiously, and said in surprise, "Now I'm beginning to believe a popular rumor in the Jianghu."

Shen Mu squatted down on one knee, pressed his palms on the stone cover, and asked, "What rumor? How does it relate to what we are doing now?"

Hou Xibai said: "The rumor is that if Shen Mu and Xu Ziling join forces, the three great masters will also stand aside."

Xu Ziling laughed and said: "They must have never seen the embarrassment of us surviving near death under Bi Xuan and Master Ling. At that time, there was an extra Ba Fenghan."

Hou Xibai said: "So I have always regarded it as an exaggeration of good things. Until I saw your thaumaturgy that shares true energy tonight, I thought that if this technique can be further developed, who in the world can resist this situation? Joint strike?"

Both Shen Mu and Xu Ziling were startled, and the former's palms left the stone cover.

Hou Xibai asked in astonishment, "Why are you reacting so violently?"

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling exchanged glances, and they both knew to give Hou Xibai a word to wake up the dreamer. They had used the method of exchanging zhenqi many times before against enemies who were superior to them, even with their internal injuries still unhealed. Tuo, but they are all emergencies, and there is no real research to develop a set of joint warfare tactics on this basis.At this time when Shi Zhixuan is exhausted, this may be a feasible method to break Shi Zhixuan's ancient and unparalleled seal of immortality.

It is inappropriate to disclose this matter to Hou Xibai.

Shen Muzhong opened his mouth and said: "As expected, my little brother is right, if we try to use our internal force to lift up the stone cover and the stone cover rises an inch, and immediately pull the alarm bell, the designer must be a master of mechanisms and have a good grasp of people's psychology. "

Hou Xibai cut the treasure painting heartily, forgot what he said before, and said, "Does it work if it is pushed in a certain direction?"

Shen Mu said: "Push it inward, it will not move at all, because it is locked by an iron latch as thick as an arm."

Hou Xibai said disappointedly: "Then tonight is not over here, look at the entrance and sigh."

Shen Mu sat down on the ground and laughed, "If I'm not good enough friends, maybe I'll lie to you that we don't have the ability. But since we are brothers, how can I get you into the palace tonight and let you go to Zhang Meiren's room to steal incense and incense?" Jade."

Hou Xibai said in surprise: "This organ can only be opened from the inside, what can you do?"

Shen Mu moved his palms forward and pressed them on Gai's face. When Xu Ziling pressed his palms on his vest, Shen Mu calmly said: "This trick is called "Beating a Bull across the Mountain. Internal strength is of course important, and more importantly, it's in mechanics." Achievement, if either party is slightly insufficient, it will not be successful. Damn it! Look at my unparalleled method of opening doors and opening gates. Sigh!"

There was the sound of a latch moving under the cover.

Hou Xibai was stunned when he heard this, and sighed: "No wonder you are all over the world, no one can do anything to you."

When you're done, Xu Ziling said with a smile: "You're flattering us too much! You should have fled the world to save your life."

Shen Mu pressed his hand firmly on one side of the cover, and the stone cover tilted down, revealing a stone step seven or eight steps deep.

Hou Xibai was overjoyed and said, "Successful! Even if we tell Li Yuan that he entered the palace through a tunnel, he will not believe it, because it is impossible. It's because you did it so easily."

Shen Mu smiled and said: "Good! It is hopeful to enter the palace, let's talk about the conditions first."

Hou Xibai was stunned and said, "What conditions are you talking about?"

Xu Ziling sat down beside Shen Mu, and said with a smile: "The condition is that you can't steal anything tonight, and don't disturb anyone. If you are unfortunately discovered, you must never leave this secret path."

Hou Xibai knelt down on one knee, and said blankly, "It's not about picking up paintings, what are you going to do in the palace?"

Shen Mu put his arms around Hou Xibai's shoulders and said, "The painting must be stolen, but it must be done on another auspicious day. We go in tonight to scout the way, find out the bright and dark posts of the palace, and the way in and out."

Hou Xibai shook his head and said: "I still don't understand. The so-called long nights and many dreams, for example, if we find a treasured painting, we will come back next time. The treasured painting may be in another hiding place. Unless we can't find it tonight, of course we have to come back another day."

Then he frowned and said, "You always seem to be hiding something from me, do you still regard me as an outsider?"

Shen Mu lifted his hood and said with a wry smile: "Young Master Ling! You teach me what to say, Mr. Hou misunderstood us!"

Xu Ziling said calmly: "We do have something to hide from you, because we don't want to embarrass you, and we want to quietly resolve the murderous disaster for you."

Hou Xibai sat down startled, and asked, "Is it related to Master Shi?"

Shen Mu said: "That's right, as long as you rely on us, not only will you have the "Cold Forest and Qingyuan Picture", but we will most likely break the seal of immortality of the Lingshi, so that you can continue to see famous paintings and communicate with all parties happily." Beauty fooling around."

Hou Xibai pondered for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Okay! I trust you all. Alas! I really can't take the initiative to attack Master Shi. But if he wants to kill me, of course I will resist to the end."

Xu Ziling said: "The problem is that the master has not been violent to you until now, so you should listen to me."

Shen Mu put on the hood, jumped down the stone steps, lit the fire, and said with a smile: "Look how good the authentic ventilation system is!"

The two followed him to move the couch back to its original position, step down the stone steps, close the stone cover, and lock the cover.

Under the reflection of the fire, the narrow and long tunnel that can accommodate a man of seven feet standing upright extends to the east, which is the direction of the imperial city.

Xu Ziling said: "According to this direction, the exit at the other end of the tunnel will be the imperial city instead of the imperial palace."

Shen Mu said decisively: "The master of civil engineering in this institution is sure that there must be a turning point in this tunnel. The final exit should be in the inner garden of the imperial palace, and it will not be too far from the emperor's bedroom, so we must not be rough-handed when we go out to play. . Ha! Come on!"

Shen Mu scratched his head and said, "There is no reason for this."

The exit cover is on the top of the stone steps above their heads, which is the same design as the entrance. The problem is that the tunnel does not bend towards the palace as Shen Mu expected.According to the location, if you push the cover and go out, it must be within the scope of the imperial city, not the imperial palace.

The Datang Imperial Palace occupies a very large area, excluding the West Inner Garden, its area is equivalent to that of the twelve Eastern Markets combined. The Imperial City and the Imperial Palace each occupy half of the area, separated by the Hengduan Square that runs from east to west.

The Buzheng Square is located in the west of the imperial city, just across Anhua Street from the imperial city. Hou Xibai said, "Should we open the gate and probe out to have a look? There may be a secret room outside, and there is another tunnel leading to the imperial palace."

Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "It's too unreasonable in terms of design. Just now Li Yuan and Yu Wenshang did not get out of here. Brother Xibai, please look at the iron gate. The rust should indicate that it has not been activated for a long time."

Shen Mu nodded and said: "This is not only a fake exit, but also a trap. The mechanism of the lid switch seems to be the same as the entrance, but in fact there are subtle differences. Although I don't know what the function is, I can guess that if the switch is activated , will trigger the alarm system."
