The mountains and rivers are quiet and broad

After the accident in Tianqi Tower, Chen Ke deliberately did not increase the defense force of Tianqi Tower for no other reason, and did not want to cause unnecessary speculation and panic.

However, the news of a blood corpse in Tianqi Tower still spread like wildfire. In the past, Tianqi Tower, which was rarely visited by people, felt a little more ghostly for some reason.

He Xin, the leader of the guards in charge of guarding the Tianqi Tower, stood outside the Tianqi Courtyard. He had guarded the building for three years, and he stood like a day for three years, with his back to the courtyard gate and facing the path in front of the courtyard.Far away, someone came over, and it was indeed a national teacher who hadn't been here for many days.

He Xin straightened his body, put on his best posture, and stared ahead with piercing eyes.

What is surprising is that there is not a palace maid around the national teacher, half a step behind the national teacher, and the prime minister, Yan Keqing, is closely behind.

These two big men are the people He Xin admired the most, and they were very nervous. When the national teacher approached, He Xin obviously felt that the national teacher seemed to be in a bad mood. A frighteningly powerful aura.

He Xin was a little worried, what could make the national teacher so angry?Looking at Master Yan again, He Xin saluted the two of them, Yan Keqing smiled gently at He Xin, and He Xin was immediately captured by Yan Keqing's goodwill.He Xin was about to return a smile, but was fixed in place by the teacher's gaze.

With cold, angry eyes, He Xin almost knelt down.Is this, is this the national teacher he knows?

In the moment when He Xin was stunned, Zhou Zhou had passed him and went straight to Tianqi Building.

The door was closed, but not locked. Zhou Zhou pushed the door open and saw the stone in the building at a glance.

The color is gray and dark, and some places are pitch black, and the original appearance of the Tianji Stone cannot be seen at all.The stone was divided into two large pieces, one on the left and one on the right, with the crack facing the outside of the door.

Zhou Zhou walked in and stood in front of the Tianji Stone, followed by Yan Keqing, wearing his usual smile mask, beckoning Zhou Zhou: "Let's get started..."

Zhou Zhou didn't move, and stared at Yan Keqing: "Are you sure the emperor is okay?"

"of course."

Zhou Zhou didn't speak, but stood quietly, and Yan Keqing didn't rush him, as if he was sure of winning.Zhou Zhou disliked Yan Keqing's appearance the most, but he had to continue to deal with Yan Keqing.

"I need you to promise that you will never hurt the emperor."

"How to guarantee?"

"Eat this." Zhou Zhou seemed to have been prepared, took out a small white porcelain bottle from his arms, and handed it to Keqing Yan.

Inside the white porcelain bottle was a small black pill. Yan Keqing held the mouth of the bottle to the tip of his nose and carefully sniffed it. He smelled a faint grassy smell. "This is?"

"Heartbroken grass." Zhou Zhou said very bluntly: "It's just poison. The so-called space-time travel is not the same shell. I need you to eat it to ensure that you will not wake up and hurt the emperor after failure."

Yan Keqing gently shook the white porcelain bottle in his hand, and heard the pills swirling inside, making a crisp sound when it touched the bottle wall.

"It's not the same case?" Yan Keqing said, tilting his head slightly in thought, as if trying to discern the authenticity of Zhou Zhou's words.

Zhou Zhou gave a faint "hmm".

Yan Keqing laughed suddenly, "Do you think I will believe it?" Yan Keqing raised his hand, and the bottle flew out and hit the wall, the bottle shattered, and the pill rolled to nowhere.

"Zhou Zhou, Zhou Zhou, how powerful I am as a wizard of the Zhou family, how can I use such a trick?" Yan Keqing still smiled, but sneered mercilessly on his mouth: "If there is no emperor, you, the national teacher I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to today. I didn't expect that in the past five years, I have been played around by characters like you."

Saying that, Yan Keqing sighed pretendingly.

Zhou Zhou seemed unwilling, and looked towards the place where the white porcelain bottle was thrown.

"There are too many of my people in this palace, Zhou Zhou, you have to be clear, you can't negotiate terms with me now, killing the emperor is a piece of cake for me."

Yan Keqing turned around, looked at the huge stone half a person's height on the ground, and suddenly became more talkative, "You should be wondering why I spent so much effort to set up such a situation. You know the secret method I implemented back then. What is the technique?"

Zhou Zhou didn't answer, Yan Keqing didn't care either, he saw his own reflection through the smooth surface of the stone.

"The so-called forbidden secret technique cannot be used because it requires a large number of sacrifices."

Yan Keqing heard Zhou Zhou suffocate, he smiled slightly, and the figure reflected on the stone surface also smiled slightly: "Yes, it is human sacrifice."

Yan Keqing's hands hidden under the sleeves were clenched into fists. He controlled his voice, sounding very calm: "How many people did you kill?"

"It's not murder, it's sacrifice." Yan Keqing's voice was gentle, "I sacrificed my clan members. There are 370 people in the whole village. Unfortunately, I failed in the last step."

Yan Keqing turned his head to look at Zhou Zhou, "So this time I prepared more sacrifices: taking the entire country as a map, guided by war, all the events piled up are for sacrifices."

"You're crazy." Zhou Zhou couldn't say anything else: "You're just crazy."

"I haven't." Yan Keqing still smiled. "You shouldn't say I'm crazy, what a powerful ability to travel through time and space, dare you say that you haven't tasted the sweetness?"

Yan Keqing looked at Zhou Zhou through the reflection on the stone surface, implying something: "You and the emperor really have a deep relationship."

Zhou Zhou snorted, "He doesn't know anything, and I won't let him know."

"Is the emperor willing to be kept in the dark like this?"

"It's none of your business."

Zhou Zhou's attitude did not anger Yan Keqing, Yan Keqing just smiled indifferently, and continued the topic just now: "The sacrifice of 10,000+ people, the mountains and rivers are my altars, but everything is ready, I still don't know what I did back then. Which step is wrong. Maybe the spell is wrong, maybe it's the talisman..."

Yan Keqing was thoughtful. "Before I figured it out, I was waiting for an opportunity. Then, I found an ancient book..."

"What?" Zhou Zhou raised his eyebrows and asked.

The mask covered Zhou Zhou's face. Yan Keqing couldn't see Zhou Zhou's expression clearly, but he could feel that maybe it was a match, or maybe it was because they also came from hundreds of years ago, and they got along with Zhou Zhou a few times. They all gave Yan Keqing a sense of familiarity.

But obviously Zhou Zhou didn't think so. Every time Yan Keqing's smile deepened, he felt more timid.

This man killed his people hundreds of years ago for a ridiculous thing, and hundreds of years later, thousands of people have died for him, they don't even know why they died, even Complain about natural disasters and man-made disasters, but Zhou Zhou believes that: the wrong has its head, and the debt has its owner.

"Nothing." Yan Keqing made a gesture of invitation to the stone, with an indescribably relaxed expression: "Please, Master Guoshi."

Zhou Zhou didn't move immediately, he seemed to be hesitating and deliberating, while Yan Keqing waited leisurely and stopped urging, with a smile still on his face, but the gentle temperament he had pretended before was gone.If the congratulatory letter from the head of the guard was here, he would definitely be puzzled: Why does the prime minister look like a different person?

Zhou Zhou had prepared a long time ago and took out a dagger from his arms. The blade of the dagger was black and the handle was made of bronze. The dagger was no more than a palm long but weighed as much as a stone of rice.

Strange symbols were engraved on the handle and body of the knife. When Yan Keqing saw the dagger, his eyes lit up and he sighed, "Is this an ancient god?"

Zhou Zhou gave him a "reasonable" look, and then took off his mask.

Seeing Zhou Zhou's true face, Yan Keqing seemed to recall the one-sided relationship with Zhou Zhou, smiled and said nothing.

Facing the Tianji Stone, Zhou Zhou danced a few steps with a sense of ritual. The movements were not fast or slow, as if he had done it thousands of times.

The mantra slowly flowed out from Zhou Zhou's mouth, the voice was low, and the words could not be heard clearly, but following Zhou Zhou's movements, the Tianji Stone responded, and the black on the stone rippled away like flowing water, revealing the original white and clean stone body .

Yan Keqing looked at the Tianji Stone in surprise.This is the legendary sacred stone - "a huge stone suspended in the air, and a white light flashes", which is in line with the records in the Yan clan book.

The white light emitted by the stone seemed to have warmth. Yan Keqing was not standing close, but he could feel the warmth spreading everywhere in the Tianqi Building.

The most amazing thing is the two fish on the stone, to be precise, the two fish in the stone, lifelike, as if alive.

But Yan Keqing also noticed at this time that the stone seemed to be split from the middle.

"The stone... cracked?"

Zhou Zhou didn't have the time to answer, a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.Zhou Zhou cut his palm with a dagger, and left and right palms had bloodstains deep enough to show bones. Putting away the dagger, Zhou Zhou put his palms on the stone, and Yan Keqing saw the scene he expected - the stone sucked Zhou away. the blood of the boat.

Zhou Zhou's face gradually turned pale, but the fish in the stone swam as if they were in the water, but there was a crack between them, Yan Keqing suddenly felt uneasy.

However, Zhou Zhou didn't give him a chance to hesitate to ask questions. The Tianji Stone suddenly exploded with white light. At that moment, Yan Keqing couldn't see anything.

Yan Keqing opened his eyes with difficulty, and he saw Zhou Zhou's bloodless face and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"You dare to design me?!" With a sudden headache, as if wanting to tear him apart, Yan Keqing yelled in disbelief: "I have already had people staring at the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Without my order, Chen Mao will die tonight!"

Zhou Zhou still didn't speak, but the smile was still on his face, a shallow smile, with deep regret and nostalgia in his eyes.

"Do you dare? Aren't you afraid?" The white light remained the same, and Yan Keqing began to bleed from his orifices. The warmth he felt before now burned him like fire, and the arrogant wind made him sway.

Zhou Zhou stood firmly.

He is not afraid of...

From the very beginning, he deliberately showed weakness and led Yan Keqing into his trap.Yan Keqing is too conceited, so he will definitely be fooled by Zhou Zhou.

As for Chen Mao, Zhou Zhou put the fragments of the Tianji Stone on Chen Mao's chest, and also told Xiao Tong to take care of Chen Mao, so he was not worried.

The moment he decided to face Yan Keqing, Zhou Zhou had no intention of leaving Tianqi Tower alive.At that moment, he saw his destiny.
