The bright moon sits on the ground

Nie Qiu was counting the time.

On the first day, I returned to Nie's house; on the second day, I reunited with Fang Qisheng; on the third day, Zhou Ru came to visit, and Xiao Xueyang haunted Huang Sheng after leaving the gambling house; Hastily dumped Xiao Xueyang and left.

On the fifth day, nothing happened. It was just chatting with the left and right, and changed Fang Qisheng's medicine.

Five days is neither too long nor too short.

Soon, the day that you made an appointment with Meng Qiuze and Qi Qianyuan arrived.

Before leaving the inn, Nie Qiu didn't say anything to Fang Qisheng.

It was a peaceful morning.

He woke up slowly, and when he got up to change, he realized that Fang Qisheng had pressed his long hair under his body.

Nie Qiu just moved slightly, and Fang Qisheng woke up, and asked casually, "Are you going to get up?"

"Well, I'll go out for a while,? If you come back late, call Xue Yang over to help change the dressing."

He remembered answering it like this.

Then Fang Qisheng responded, moved his body, freed his hair, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Thinking of this, Nie Qiu subconsciously brushed his long hair and pushed it behind his ears.

There were not many people on the street in the early morning, just a few sporadic ones, and no one noticed him.

Wangshan Inn is actually very close to Yaoxiantai, and you can walk there in about a stick of incense.

As an important place for sacrificial offerings, this low and gentle mountain is guarded by the Imperial Army at all times and is heavily guarded.

In this way, we can also see how crazy it is for Qi Qianyuan to make an appointment here.

It coincides with the high tide season in the upper reaches, and those swimming fish should float in the lower reaches, red, red and white, which should be a beautiful sight.

It's a pity that only a few people can appreciate this beauty.

If you want to see this rare sight, you have to bear the corresponding price.

And these costs are not affordable for everyone.

When Nie Qiu walked to the invitation to immortals, he found that the forbidden army was not there.

Unexpected and unexpected.

The prince's servant, who looked like a person from the Western Regions, waited here for a long time, and when he saw him, he showed a gentle smile.

"Priest Nie, please."

Meng Qiuze flicked his wide sleeves, signaling the person in front of him to step on the invitation platform.

Nie Qiu came down, lifted the hem of his clothes, and took the first step.

It was the same as the last day in the last life, it was the Hongmen banquet that he could not avoid.

I can see the abyss below, and I know that if I fall, I will end up in pieces.

But he couldn't escape, he couldn't escape, and there was only one path ahead of him.

Even so, the struggle is still to be struggled.

Nie Qiu stretched out his hand and pushed away the branches that blocked his view, and made a rustling sound when he stepped on the fallen leaves.

The mountain is very quiet, with occasional chirping of insects and birds, which belongs to the tranquility when the sky is not yet bright.

He turned his head slightly and glanced at Meng Qiuze who was following behind.

There is no other fork in the road here, just go to the end of one road, so Meng Qiuze took the next step and walked behind.

This future court celestial master, whom Qi Qianyuan knew since childhood, is frowning slightly at this time, holding on to the trunk, walking neither fast nor slow, and can keep up with Nie Qiu's pace, but——It's still a bit difficult up.

Inviting Xiantai is not steep.

Nie Qiu hadn't had much communication with Meng Qiuze in his previous life, so he naturally didn't know that his physical strength was so weak.

It seems to be worse than Xiao Xueyang, at least she can easily shuttle through all kinds of steep mountains.

Speaking of which, it seems that Qi Qianyuan has never seen Qi Qianyuan ask Meng Qiuze to do some physical work.

Nie Qiu glanced slightly.

They had already walked half the distance, and Qi Qianyuan was probably at the top of the mountain.

Meng Qiuze gasped lightly, his face was flushed, and the red leaves dotted between his brows were very conspicuous, as if to tell everyone that this person was harmless and weak, and the pair of strange-colored pupils unique to foreigners were just like his eyes. Good amber, clear and bright.

Behind him is the vast mist.

Although Yaoxiantai is not very high, but if you fall from this place, if you have no strength to restrain a chicken, you will be half disabled if you don't die.

Nie Qiu put his hand on the slender handle of the Hanshuang knife and stroked it carefully.

It was very easy to push the unsuspecting astrologer down.

Just like he used that hexagram in his last life to push himself into the abyss.

Human life is so light that it shatters when touched.

The chirping of birds and insects in the mountains gradually stopped.

Meng Qiuze wiped off the sweat hanging on his chin, and when he raised his eyes, he suddenly found that the person in front of him stopped.

He squinted his eyes, the morning light in the mountains blurred his vision, "Priest Nie?"

The young priest who has been in the limelight recently turned his head, his eyes curled up, showing a bit of a flirtatious taste.

"Master Meng, aren't you afraid that I will push you when you walk behind me?" He pulled out the long knife from his waist, and laid it on Meng Qiuze's neck, pressing it tightly, and the cold and hard feeling came over immediately. It was so cold that people shivered.

Meng Qiuze looked at Nie Qiu and smiled lightly.

"The priest doesn't think that I don't even recognize the back of the sword, does it?" He pushed the knife away effortlessly, and said, "You learn from the Cloud Splitting Sword. Chang Deng's disciples must not be killing innocent people indiscriminately." .”

"Are you an innocent person?" Nie Qiu didn't take Hanshuang back immediately, flicked his finger on the knife, and the long knife immediately let out a roar of dragons and tigers, "What's more, I just want to know Master Meng's hole card , and don’t need to take your life.”

Killing Meng Qiuze here will not do any good, but will cause a lot of trouble.

But there was no one around, so it was not difficult to force something to say.

"Priest Nie is not worried that His Highness will do something against you?"

Meng Qiuze didn't panic in the slightest, "Your Highness really just has something to talk to you about. I thought that sending away all the imperial guards nearby is already considered a gesture of good will."

"It seems that I can't get any news from you."

Nie Qiu looked at him for a while, then put the Hanshuang knife back into its sheath inch by inch.

"If you want to know something, why don't you give me some benefits." Meng Qiuze pursed his lips and smiled, "For example, walk slowly and give my frail body a chance to breathe?"

He brought it up without hesitation, and Nie Qiu didn't take it easy on him.

Qi Qianyuan should still be waiting at the top of the mountain at this time.

"Master Meng is slow, aren't you afraid that His Highness will blame you?" He was a little curious.

Although I didn't directly see how the two get along, I always feel that their relationship is not normal.

"My physical strength is not good enough, and I walked a few steps slower. What reason can His Highness blame me?"

Walking slowly, Meng Qiuze's breathing gradually calmed down a lot, "Isn't Priest Nie very clear? You dare to hold a knife to my throat here, isn't it because you believe that His Highness will not get angry because of a trivial matter? What am I worth?"

"But he trusts you." It was an affirmative tone.

"People from the emperor's family, if they can't even trust the people they grew up with, who else can they trust?" Meng Qiuze's tone was always calm, as if this was just a very common thing, "Everyone takes what they need."

Nie Qiu had felt this way before.

Qi Qianyuan's most trusted person should be Meng Qiuze. This point can be clearly seen in both the previous life and this life. If not, he would not have confessed everything to this person who is suspected of treason.

However, if you really want to say how much Qi Qianyuan can do for Meng Qiuze...

The answer is probably not difficult to guess.

With ruthless methods, he has monopolized power since he took office, sweeping away the power of the court.

It is impossible for such a prince, Qi Qianyuan, to do useless things because of a little useless old love.

For example, Nie Qiu made such a move that was similar to threatening Meng Qiuze. He believed that even if Qi Qianyuan knew about it, he would not care about it.

"Priest Nie is indeed a martial artist since he was a child. He is very different from me."

Meng Qiuze covered his lips, just not covering the mole under his lips.

Nie Qiu didn't answer him, and looked around, the top of the mountain was close in front of him, which was the altar of Wangxiantai.

Surrounded by mountains and water, water and stones are connected.

Between the mist like floating clouds, there is a black figure.

Qi Qianyuan stood in the center of the altar, with downcast eyebrows, in a condescending posture.

Whether it is the world, the throne on the seat, or the stars in the night sky, it seems that you can pick it up with your hands.

From a distance, it looks like a black dragon entrenched on the altar, quiet and dangerous.

Hearing the sound, he raised his eyes and looked over lightly, "Are you here? It's too late."

"Next time His Highness should invite someone in person." Meng Qiuze said lightly, "I almost died suddenly on the way."

"Next time, please ask the sedan chair to carry you down."

As Qi Qianyuan said, he stepped down a few steps, his sleeve robe dragged across the ground, but the movement was very slight.

"Priest Nie, I haven't seen you for a few days. I've heard a lot about you lately." He said.

Nie Qiu was not sure what he was referring to.

Is it the Nie family, the Jia family, the Xiao family, or the Demon Cult?

He pursed his lips, but did not answer.

"Having known each other for so many years, I don't want you to say some twists and turns." Qi Qianyuan took a deep breath and said, "What do you mean when you told me that you don't believe in the way of heaven?"

"At the beginning, the old priest chose me, so I came into contact with this aspect."

Nie Qiu half-truthfully explained: "When I was five years old, the Celestial Physician shocked the world, and His Highness must have heard of it. Many Taoist priests and a few sporadic Celestial Masters wanted to accept me as an apprentice. , but my father has always disliked this way, so he rejected all of them. The Nie family is a family of merchants, and they only believe in what is in front of them, and such illusory things as the way of heaven are nothing."

"Under the influence of my ears and eyes, I don't believe in these anymore." He said, "Afterwards, Shenyun Pavilion was destroyed, and when I came to His Highness for a chance of life, I didn't have the slightest reverence for the way of heaven, and I thought it didn't exist at all. gone."

Nie Qiu said: "My heart is not sincere. Even if I kneel on the altar, my heart is not touched."

"Your heart is not sincere." Qi Qianyuan murmured and repeated, and suddenly smiled, "Even if the Dao of Heaven exists, it has nothing to do with us."

The prince turned around and stroked the edge of the altar with his fingers slowly, with full patience and gentleness, but the words he said were merciless, "I will give you a chance to break this altar with your own hands. "

Startled, Nie Qiu looked into Qi Qianyuan's eyes, trying to figure out how serious he was.

Breaking the altar of Yaoxiantai is the crime of Zhu Jiu Clan.

"How many words in Your Highness's words are true?"

Qi Qianyuan replied: "Every word is true."

"However, I want you to do one thing for me. You only need one thing, and you can get rid of the shackles on your body and regain your freedom."

Hearing what Qi Qianyuan said, it was definitely not a simple matter.

Nie Qiu was silent for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, please speak first."

Meng Qiuze stepped aside, folded his hands in front of him, and watched the confrontation between the two without saying a word.

"I want you to bear the charge of assassinating the current Holy Majesty, leave the imperial city, and never come back." Qi Qianyuan's expression was dark and his voice was low, like a harbinger of a storm. , the so-called 'fairy', I want you to destroy it with your own hands, completely, without leaving any."
