Hu Guiyang hasn't slept so comfortably for a long time. Last night's nap was just the first step. After all the living people left, he slept with a good night's sleep.

Sitting up and yawning, then stretching, Hu Guiyang looked up at the entrance of the cave and said blankly, "When has it been? Why hasn't anyone come down?" After that, his eyes turned to the two people who had just arrived, without stopping for a moment, and looked straight into the passage behind them.

Wang Zhi and Li Zisheng were both shocked. They felt the surrounding wind gusts, and even the two corpses lying on the ground seemed to be about to stand up.

"Hu Guiyang!" Wang Zhi screamed in shock and angrily.

Hu Guiyang slowly smiled on his face, "The factory is coming down, is it Li Xianchang who took you down?"

"Don't use the word 'down'... Let's talk about what's going on first? Where is the prince? Where is the divine power? Where does the corpse come from?"

"Just say this? I can talk until the evening."

Wang Zhi shivered and turned his head to look at Li Zisheng.

Li Zisheng was also scared, "You should answer one thing first, who took over the divine power?"

"First it was me, then the immortal in the valley, and finally a jade pendant." Hu Guiyang lied unintentionally, but did not take out the jade pendant.

"When did the Immortal Gu come in?" Wang Zhi was shocked.

"It must have been in, earlier than the divine servant, and I have been hiding here." Hu Guiyang yawned again and began to feel all kinds of discomfort of sleeping in the niche.

"Where is the jade pendant? Who took it away?" Li Zisheng asked.

"You have to ask He Sanchen and Wen Kongyin for this."

"It's her. Go out first, no one is allowed to touch or move the things here." Li Zisheng was undoubtedly worried.

There was a rope hanging down on the top of his head, and Zhang sighed and said, "Captain leads you up."

"Is this the Prince's Dan? So weak..." Hu Guiyang said in surprise, then smiled at Li Zisheng and said, "Li Xianchang has not changed at all, do you go first?"

"You first." Li Zisheng wanted to check in the cave.

Hu Guiyang was not polite either. He tied the rope around his waist and shook it twice. The captain above slowly pulled it up.

Seeing him the first to come up, everyone on the altar was shocked and no one spoke.

Hu Guiyang bowed to everyone, "Thank you. The factory and Li Xianchang are still below."

The lieutenants hurriedly put down the ropes again.

Hu Guiyang greeted Prince Dan and smiled and said, "Prince Dan, I didn't expect that you would really give up your divine power."

"My name is Zhang Qi, and...ah, I originally wanted to replace the prince with you, one would save the prince's life, and two would..."

"The second is to destroy the ritual and retain your own divine power."

"I'll be satisfied just by leaving a little. Who would have thought you would absorb faster than the prince?" Zhang sighed, and missed the arrogant and unruly prince Dan, "Where is the prince?"

"I should have been taken away by my friend, but you didn't see it?"

Zhang Qi shook his head, "We have fainted for a while... strange."

"Where is Your Majesty?" Hu Guiyang asked in a very low voice.

"I've returned to the palace."

"Your Majesty isn't that satisfied?"

Not only was he dissatisfied, the emperor was first disappointed, and when his physical strength recovered, he was furious. Without waiting for Li Zisheng to come up, he left directly under Shang Ming's protection.

Zhang Qi shook his head helplessly, walked towards the entrance of the cave to wait, and quickly turned around and said, "You can't leave."

"Of course." Hu Guiyang smiled, looked around, and walked to Qiu Lianshi, "The immortal in the valley did not get divine power."

Qiu Lianshi sighed heavily, and the last little hope disappeared.

Hu Guiyang turned to Luo family, "Guan Mutong, Mr. Tang is dead, and the other five people don't know the life and death."

Luo's expression was cold, not much different from the time of Yi Ren, but he could not resist the cold wind in early February, his body trembled slightly, and he was not as handsome as Yi Ren, "Is it related to me? They are not my friends, I don't have friends."

"It's nothing." Hu Guiyang smiled and walked to Li Xingtian.

Li Xingtian was lying on the ground, with people coming and going around him, but he refused to get up.

Hu Guiyang squatted down, "The divine power is not in He Sanchen's hands."

"Please let me kill me in my heart." Li Xingtian said weakly.

"I don't have a knife and don't want to kill people. What's wrong with being a mortal?"

Li Xingtian reached out to cover his face, looking desperate.

"Hu Guiyang, come here." Wang Zhi came up.

Hu Guiyang walked over and said with a smile: "The factory has something to do with me?"

"From now on, you are not allowed to talk to anyone until I ask you."

Hu Guiyang nodded immediately.

After a while, Li Zisheng was also pulled up, his face turned pale, and he obviously found nothing.

As dusk approached, everyone left, the Temple of Heaven was closed again, leaving only a few people to guard it, and no outsiders were allowed to enter, especially no one was allowed to approach the "dan cave".

Hu Guiyang, Zhang Kai and others were sent to the West Factory and imprisoned respectively.

He said he was imprisoned, without any shackles on his body, and the furnishings in the house were better than Hu's house. Hu Guiyang ate a meal with a full meal, went to bed and then went to bed, and vowed to make up for the sleep of the past few days.

This level lasted for a month. Li Zisheng came to "interrogate" almost every day and asked Hu Guiyang to recall everything in the Dan acupoint.

Hu Guiyang answered in a true way, with only one exception.

"Where is the jade pendant? You just watch it be taken away by He Sanchen and Wen Kongyin?"

"What else can I do? I can't even beat one of their fingers."

Li Zisheng shook his head helplessly every time, "I failed to do it, Hu Guiyang failed to do it, and you missed the everlasting magical skills you have obtained."

"I see the sun rises and sets in the east every day, and never holds it in my hand. This is also called failure? I told you that I can't stop it or grab it. At most, I am a bystander. It's my luck if they didn't kill me."

Li Zisheng never doubted this statement, nor did he search for his body. If Hu Guiyang said that A Yin would put down the jade pendant, he would be puzzled because he had never seen anyone give up his divine power.

The jade pendant was on Hu Guiyang. When it was late at night, he would occasionally take out the jade pendant and gently rub it. He could not feel any strangeness, nor could he take out the divine power inside. Sometimes he even suspected that the jade pendant was actually a fool, and the divine power was taken away by He Sanjie'er and A Yin.

After all, he has never seen anyone give up his divine power.

When Hu Guiyang was allowed to leave Xichang, it was already March. Spring returned to the capital, bringing a hint of warm wind and mud and water all over the ground. People sitting in the car sedan only felt the warm wind, and were naturally happy, and even felt a little poetic. People who had to walk on their legs cursed the ghost weather, hoping that spring would leave soon.

The only person who walks without caring about the weather is probably Hu Guiyang. He finally regained his freedom. He felt that everything was so beautiful, even the mud and water all over the street seemed friendly. He stepped in directly without hiding his feet. When he got home, his boots lost their original color and were doubled.

He didn't go to Zhao's house and went straight back to his home. The lock on the courtyard door disappeared. Fortunately, there were no uninvited guests inside, but the thousands of taels of silver sent by the West Factory were gone.

Hu Guiyang sat in the living room. When it was dark, he went out of the house and buried the jade pendant in a dog hole that was taken out under the courtyard wall. He filled it with soil. He felt much more relaxed and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

It was already daylight when he woke up. Hu Guiyang's stomach was roaring, his mouth was dry, his hands were covered with mud, and he didn't even have water at home, and he couldn't even wash.

"It's better to live in the West Factory." Hu Guiyang reluctantly got up, went to the kitchen to find a wooden barrel, went to the well in the alley to fetch water, washed his hands, knocked off the mud on his boots little by little, cleaned himself up, and then went out again.

Yesterday's good mood disappeared, and Hu Guiyang, like others, carefully avoided the mud and water, first visited Erlang Temple, but the temple owner was replaced. Fan Dajian stepped down for more than 20 days and came back once. His whereabouts were unknown since then.

At least he is still alive, Yuan Mao must be fine, Hu Guiyang was relieved and went to the noodle restaurant for dinner.

"Person Hu hasn't been here for a long time, and he's gone out again?" The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile.

"It's not too far, it's in the city." Hu Guiyang sat down, and without ordering food, the guy went to the kitchen to ask for noodles and wine. "I have to pay on credit today, I really have no money."

"It's okay, Captain Hu is the old customer. I'll treat you today." The shopkeeper walked out of the counter, holding a pot of wine in his hand, and sat opposite him, "How many cups will I have with Captain Hu?"

"I can't find it." Hu Guiyang was overjoyed and flipped the cup in front of the two of them.

There were a few cold dishes on the noodles with sauerkra, and Hu Guiyang was not polite, so he ate half a bowl of noodles first, and then toasted with the shopkeeper.

"Is there anything new in the city recently?" Hu Guiyang asked.

"recent?"

"For a month, although I was in the city, the news was blocked and I haven't heard anything for a long time." Hu Guiyang was questioned every day at the West Factory, but no one was willing to answer his simplest question.

The shopkeeper thought for a while, "Nothing big is happening. The most rumored one is Zhao's house in Guanyin Temple Hutong. It is said that there is a god and a ghost, and even the court has been alarmed. Has Captain Hu lived there?"

In fact, this is exactly the reason why the shopkeeper treated him. Hu Guiyang thought it was worth it. While having a meal, he briefly explained the matter of Zhao Zhai Yiren, but only hiding the content related to the emperor.

"There are no ghosts and gods?" The shopkeeper was very disappointed and immediately smiled: "But these strange people are indeed strange enough. You just recite poems when you say it? Haha, it looks a bit like the Wen Xiucai on the street. Wen Xiucai failed the exam many times, and it is a bit abnormal, and it is also a perfect expression."

"You haven't heard of such a big thing happening in the Temple of Heaven a month ago?"

"Oh, I saw that, the Temple of Heaven shone brightly and never left all night. Everyone said that the royal family had money and could put such big fireworks to give porridge to ten thousand beggars. Tsk tsk, the gods were moved, and I heard that the old lady's illness would be cured soon. But the beggars, after they came out, they talked nonsense, saying that they were a divine servant, and they wanted to drink everywhere. At the beginning, there were people who believed it. After a long time, they couldn't afford it, so they just beat it up. These days were much quieter."

The matter of the Temple of Heaven was actually covered up. The Jinyiwei present did not dare to say anything. The castrator had a low status and no one believed what he said.

Hu Gui stood up, "It's better to have a normal life, say goodbye."

"Don't chat anymore?"

"Next time." Hu Guiyang smiled. He was still sitting there when he returned home. The matter seemed to be over, but he knew it was an illusion.

At night, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he simply sat up and stared out of the window with a quilt. He wanted to go out and dig out the jade pendant several times, but finally he held it back.

The door sounded lightly, and someone flashed in.

"you……"
