In the depths of the Golden Horde, there is an open-air altar with a square tower structure, with a large bottom and a small top, stacked on top of each other, and is ten zhang high. Ninety-one steps lead to the top of the altar in each of the four directions, and all the steps plus the top altar are exactly three hundred and sixty-five days in a year. On both sides of the staircase is a side wall as wide as three feet, and at the lower end of the north wall, there is a huge stone carving of the head of a snake, four feet high, five feet long, and three feet wide. Every year at the spring and autumn equinoxes, there will be a snake shadow near the altar, and when the sun begins to set in the west, the side wall of a set of steps on the north side will form a curved giant snake shadow under the sunlight, together with the snake head carved at the bottom, like a giant snake swimming from the altar to the earth.

This is the forbidden place of the entire royal court, and no one is allowed to set foot except for the old khan and the national teacher, including the kings and the clans.

In the night, the national teacher walked into the confines of the altar in a black robe, his head wearing a hood connected to the robe on his body, so that most of his face was hidden in the shadow of the hood, and some white hair fell from the hood, fluttering with the night wind, like a curved white snake. The national teacher is holding a black thick staff that seems to be entangled with tree vines, the material is not gold or wood, the head of the staff is cast with a crack and a white bone skeleton that laughs, and the mouth shows sharp snow-white teeth, the appearance is very hideous and weird, and what is even more strange is that there are two long snakes coiled on the staff, which keep winding up and down.

The national teacher walked like an ordinary old man, and every step he took had to tap the ground with the long staff in his hand, and the end of the staff landed on the steps of the altar with a crisp sound, which was extremely clear and spread far in the night.

After walking the ninety-one steps, the national teacher climbed to the top of the altar, there is a stone platform in the center of this place, and on the stone platform hangs a diamond-shaped eight-sided stone that exudes faint fluorescence, almost translucent, showing blood red, at this time it is slowly rotating on its own, continuously absorbing the blood-colored breath from the altar below.

The national teacher stood aside the snake staff in his hand, opened his hands, and the black robe on his body was blown by the cold wind, and then he heard him mutter: "When the thunder rains from the immortal sky, the sky turns into chaos, and the thunder contains infinite power, when light and darkness meet, the flames of heaven and earth change instantly, and the messenger descends, mastering the great power and ruling all things." ”

"When it comes, thunder resoundeth through the sky, and fire descends upon the earth, and the blazing winds turn the living creatures into corpses, and blessed are the messengers of great power, who will control the life and death of all things. ”

As the national teacher chanted, the blood-red stone emitted a substance-like light, reflecting the national teacher's black robe into a bloody robe. At the same time, rolling thunder rang out above the altar, and purple thunder and lightning swept across the sky like long snakes.

The eyes of the national teacher became deep, like two deep wells without the bottom of them, but in the deepest part there was a raging flame, as if it was about to burn

All things in the world.

At some point, there was no longer a chill in the night wind, but instead there was a strong scorching heat, which was more pressing than the heat of the fire season, as if standing on the bank of a volcanic crater, and where it passed, the ice and snow melted.

The national teacher reached out and broke through the red halo and grasped the bright red stone that hung in the air on its own. At this moment, the green tendons on the back of the national teacher's hand burst out and wrinkled, but the national teacher didn't care, and let the palm of his hand gradually dry up, like a dead branch, and began to slowly recover. If it is replaced by a random person under the realm of heaven and man, the moment he holds the stone, he will be firmly absorbed, and then desperately watch himself being sucked dry little by little and become a skeleton, unless it is a strong man who breaks his wrist at the first time.

The national teacher held the stone with one hand, and with the other hand began to impose various prohibitions on it, blocking its terrifying suction.

The sound of thunder faded away, revealing a bright moon, and the moonlight shone on the altar, a plain white color. The blood-red light faded away, and finally disappeared completely. The stone in the hands of the national teacher has lost all its luster and is strange, like an ordinary crystal.

......

Li Xuandu looked up at the electric snake winding above the night sky, and was silent.

At this time yesterday, the Khan sent the third lieutenant of the Xue army to invite him to the Golden Horde, Li Xuan did not see the old Khan, but learned from the mouth of the Khan of Song Zheng that the son of Song Zheng was missing, and when Li Xuandu left the Golden Horde, the Khan asked him to go to the Golden Horde again the next day, because the old Khan would wake up at this time and regain control of the royal court, and now there is only half an hour left from the time.

At this time, a vision appeared in the sky, whether it was Li Xuandu, Ning Yi, Shi Wuyue, and Huangfu Yuxiu, they all knew in their hearts that they might not be peaceful tonight.

Being in a foreign country, Li Xuandu's face was not afraid, only deeply dignified. When it comes to the great changes in the Imperial Palace, the Great Grandmaster of the Heavenly and Human Realm can only say that he has the qualifications to participate in it, and he is far from being able to dominate the situation, and it is a matter of course for the Immortal Immortal to enter the Immortal Realm.

At this moment, Feng Niang, who was beside Xiao Yan, appeared in the post house and said to Li Xuandu: "Messenger, the big thing is not good. ”

Li Xuandu asked, "Someone did it?"

"Mingli Khan. Feng Niang's face had an unprecedented look of solemn worry, "Mingli Khan said those words to make the old Khan sick, he knew that the old Khan would definitely not spare him after he recovered, so he decided to fight to the death at this time, first destroy the medicine Mu Khan and Naijan Khan, and then force the palace to force the Igan Khan who guarded the Golden Horde to surrender, so that even if the old Khan woke up, he could not change anything, and the royal court and the Golden Horde became the things in the pocket of Mingli Khan. ”

Li Xuandu asked, "Why? Why did Mingli Khan destroy Yaomu Khan and Naizhu Khan? As far as I know, although Mingli Khan was more powerful in the entire Golden Horde, he did not have an overwhelming advantage in the royal court. ”

Feng Niang said: "It was the cowardly Xue army that rebelled, and the cowardly Xue army led half of the cowardly Xue army to swear allegiance to Mingli Khan under the banner of Ili Khan, and the guards of Sui Ge Khan and Moge Khan also joined it, and Batu Khan led his cavalry to withdraw from the royal court. ”

Li Xuandu asked, "What about the Xiao Yan clan?"

Feng Niang said: "The Yan clan is in their own palace, and the Yan clan asked me to ask the envoy to see the Yan clan. ”

Li Xuandu pondered slightly, shook his head and refused: "No, I'm going to see Old Khan, now that the situation is under control, Old Khan is the key." ”

Feng Niang heard Li Xuandu say this, but she didn't insist, maybe Xiao Yan's desire to see Li Xuandu was a pretext at all, and letting Li Xuandu go to the golden account to meet Lao Khan was her fundamental purpose.

Li Xuandu said to Ning, Shi, and Huangfu again: "The royal court has changed greatly, and the Golden Horde is not a peaceful place, and I hope the three of you will help me." ”

The three of them are all great masters of the Heavenly and Human Realm, plus Li Xuandu, the four of them join forces, even Ili Khan has to retreat, at this time, hearing Li Xuandu say this, Ning Yi and Huangfu Yuxiu's hearts tightened, and they solemnly responded.

In a tense atmosphere, only Shi Wuyue looked relaxed and casual, looked around, and said: "This is about to start? Can we let go and kill people? Kill a king first and have a good time, and there will be something to talk about after going back." ”

Li Xuandu shook his head and said, "Don't act rashly. ”

Shi Wuyue said disappointedly: "I still want to see the majesty of the kings of the Golden Horde." ”

Li Xuandu said: "You follow me, don't talk about the kings of the Golden Horde, maybe you can still see Lao Khan and the person you have in mind." ”

Shi Wuyue's eyes lit up and asked, "Song Zheng?"

Li Xuandu nodded.

Shi Wuyue rubbed his hands and said, "It's time to make a break." ”

At this time, Li Xuandu no longer pretended, showing the decision of being the master of one party, and he instructed Feng Niang again: "You go back and reply to the Yan family truthfully, please rest assured." ”

Feng Niang was taken by Li Xuandu's momentum, and was a little more respectful, and said, "Yes." ”

Looking at Feng Niang, who left in a hurry, Li Xuandu shook his two big sleeves and said with a smile: "Tonight's scene reminds me of the change in the imperial capital in the second year of Tianbao, that time it was three immortals who entered the inner court, and I don't know how many immortals came to the Golden Tent today?"

Huangfu Yuxiu had also vaguely heard many rumors about the changes in the imperial capital, and at this time, he heard Li Xuandu say so, and said: "It will probably be three people." ”
