Chapter 405 The Imperial Ancestral Temple is in Crisis
Dragon scale fire is not a real fire, but a kind of fireworks.
Rather, it is a signal smoke.
This object is made of a special material and is rare in the world. Once it is set off, people within a radius of twenty miles can see the bright fire in the air and hear the sharp and harsh sound it makes.
Whether it is night or day, its light is not diminished and its sound is not impaired.
The name dragon scale shows that it is not an ordinary thing, nor can ordinary people use it.
The material to make this thing is extremely difficult to find and rare, and even people from the royal family cannot guarantee that it will become popular.
In the entire Dayao, only a few key royal figures could carry dragon scale fire with them.
One of them must be the Emperor. This rare thing that can send out rescue signals anytime and anywhere. As a noble person, how can he not carry it with him everywhere?
The other person he owns is the Prince of the East Palace. After all, as the crown prince, he is no less dangerous than the emperor, so he naturally needs something that he can call on for help at any time.
In addition, not many people can own this rare thing. Even the emperor's most beloved daughter, Princess Xincheng, has never been given dragon scale fire.
It is precisely because this thing is rare that it will not be set off easily when life and death are critical.
Once it is issued, it means that the lives of important figures in the royal family are threatened. Whether they are people from the court or the children of the royal family, they are obliged to go to the rescue.
No one expected that on the night of the Emperor's birthday, when the time of the twelfth lunar month was approaching, the night sky of Shendu would be lit up with dragon-scale fire.
The Imperial City is located in the north of the divine capital, and the East Palace is also nearby. But tonight's dragon scale fire started in the west of the divine capital!
Then, as long as the emperor and the prince did not run there, they would not be in danger.
Are there any important figures from the royal family in Xicheng?
Not really!
However, the Ancestral Temple is located in Xicheng!
It was the ancestral hall of the Tang family, the royal family. The spiritual tablets of their ancestors were enshrined in it, and it was no less important than the imperial palace.
On weekdays, the royal family dispatched soldiers to be stationed inside and outside the Ancestral Temple to guard the spiritual places of their ancestors. No one dared to make any plans.
Now that the dragon scale fire has started in Xicheng, something must have happened to the Ancestral Temple!
Once the Dragon Scale Fire comes out, everyone in the court and royal family has the responsibility to go to support, and Princess Xincheng is no exception.
She originally wanted to ask Feng Huang to mobilize the Phoenix Army - as a rare military force stationed in the divine capital, this was the time for the Phoenix Army to dispatch.
Later, Princess Xincheng decided to lead the Phoenix Army on her own. After all, she was the nominal commander of the Phoenix Army.
As for mobilizing troops late at night, even if the reason is legitimate, as a foreign minister, Fenghuang is not suitable. It would be a big trouble for her if she was impeached afterwards.
Princess Xincheng had no choice but to endure her eagerness and let Feng Huang take Chu Tang to the Ancestral Temple for support, while she led Feng Erniang and the guards from the princess's mansion to visit the Phoenix Army.
The above may seem complicated, but in fact it only takes a few breaths to make a decision.
The common sense about dragon scale fire was explained to Chu Tang and Feng Huang when they were on their way to the Ancestral Temple.
It was late at night, and riding horses in Shendu would cause even more commotion. After the two of them left the princess's mansion in Xincheng, they abandoned their horses and ran, relying entirely on their feet and light skills to travel.
Both of them are extremely skilled in light kung fu. They can leap over obstacles when they encounter them, and even sprint straight from rows of rooftops from time to time. Their speed is actually faster than riding a horse.
The dragon scale fire made quite a noise, and many people were awakened from their sleep in various parts of the city.
The common people only complained a few times, or opened the doors and windows to take a look, and then retreated back. They did not care or care about what was going on.
As for some warriors, they came out, and after asking for a while, they also returned to their place - what does the safety of the royal family have to do with them?
Slowly, Chu Tang discovered that there were many people rushing to the west like them under the night sky.
Most of these are people from all sides of the imperial court.
This made Chu Tang very confused: "Isn't the Ancestral Temple just enshrining the souls of some dead people? Even if someone breaks in, they won't have to send out dragon scale fire to ask for help, right?"
Apparently, Ancestral Temple has some unknown secrets!
Chu Tang couldn't help but ask Feng Huang this question.
At that time, he used Snow Trapping to leave no trace. He was as light as a bird and flew in full flight. He followed behind the speeding Feng Huang. No matter how hard she ran, he never left her, and the distance between them was only three feet.
Fenghuang was still able to compete with Chu Tang in Qinggong and body skills at first. After running for a mile or two, she found that no matter how hard she tried, she could not get rid of Chu Tang's figure.
The latter followed her like a shadow, stepping on the place where her footsteps had just left with every step, and his body was even lighter and more silent than hers.
Helpless, she had to give up her plan to compete with Chu Tang.
In terms of Qinggong, she was really inferior to him. Even though the Fire Phoenix Divine Spear, the best killing skill in the world, contained the supreme Qinggong movement, she was still defeated by Chu Tang.
Frustrated, Feng Huang could only go on his way.
The Imperial Ancestral Temple is a full ten miles away from the princess's residence in Xincheng. They have only traveled two or three miles now, and it will take a while to arrive. If they don't concentrate on traveling quickly, they may be afraid that something will happen there when they arrive.
Fenghuang was very afraid that something would go wrong in the Ancestral Temple, because she knew what was inside the Ancestral Temple.
And when Chu Tang asked about the details of the Ancestral Temple, she realized that Chu Tang was aware of something deeper.
After thinking about it, Feng Huang hesitated for a moment, and while running, he finally told the truth and revealed the secret of the Phoenix Fire Spear hidden in the Ancestral Temple.
The Phoenix Spear is ranked among the top three among the divine weapons in the world. It is a divine weapon among the divine weapons. Once combined with the Fire Phoenix Divine Spear technique, it becomes a truly invincible weapon and martial arts.
"What? Black Xuan Jade Ruyi is the key to unlocking the mechanism of the Imperial Ancestral Temple and taking out the Fengming Gun?" After hearing this, Chu Tang looked as expected at first, and then his attention fell on the rare treasure that had been lost in the princess's mansion in Xincheng.
"So, Sun Yikui and the others spent so much effort to activate the mechanism to seize the Fengming Gun?" Chu Tang was very puzzled, "The black black jade Ruyi was lost, and the royal family did not increase vigilance and increase the defense of the Ancestral Temple? Or? It's okay to transfer the Fire Phoenix Divine Spear technique."
Fenghuang explained: "A black black jade Ruyi cannot open the mechanism... Also, the Phoenix Gun is weird and not everyone can take it away. However, you have to remember that when the Phoenix Gun is released, it represents The killings will begin, and the rivers of blood will flow by then, which will be of no use to the country or the people. Therefore, we cannot let Feng Ming's gun go wrong!"
Chu Tang let out a sigh and said: "The Sanhe Gang and a few eighth-level warriors can't really break through the Ancestral Temple's heavy defenses, right?"
Fenghuang's face was still filled with sadness, and he said: "The dragon scales are emitting fire... Just go and see and you will know!"
After thinking about it, she added: "Chu Tang, please follow me later. There is a military formation in the Ancestral Temple. Don't flood the Dragon King Temple and let them surround you."
Chu Tang responded, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. He was really a hard worker!
After spending a whole night in the princess's mansion, competing in martial arts, and competing for the commander-in-chief, he finally waited until the banquet of heroes was over, thinking he could go back and sleep soundly, but he encountered another crisis in the Imperial Ancestral Temple... God really wouldn't let him live in peace!
If he could be lazy, if he hadn't already started to join the Yiyiwei operation, Chu Tang would have really wanted to turn around and run away and continue to indulge him.
In the capital of the gods, can anyone who dares to take advantage of the Imperial Ancestral Temple be easily offended?
They are all naked and don't give face to the royal family and the court. They must have been prepared for it. It is said that those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come!
After a while, Feng Huang led Chu Tang across a small river, pointed to the place where roars came from in front of him and said, "Look! That's the Ancestral Temple there!"
The two of them paused, and after landing on the ground, they looked at each other and saw the solemn look in each other's eyes.
Because of their sensitive noses, they could smell the strong smell of blood blowing in the night wind! (End of chapter)
