In front of the gate of the Fire God Temple, Hu Guiyang waited in the carriage for half an hour, Zuo Yu lifted the curtain from outside, "Come on."

It was already past noon and there was still some time before nightfall. Hu Guiyang got out of the car and asked, "Has Zhang Wuchen been sent away?"

"Well, he went to Lingji Palace to listen to Xuan. I guess he won't come back tonight. We can stay in the temple for a temporary night."

Lingji Palace is one of the largest Taoist temples in the capital and is highly valued by the court. Dazhenren also served as a high-ranking official of the Taoist sect. The Temple of Fire God is just a small temple outside the city. The temple prayer Zhang Wuchen was naturally at any time and was very happy to provide accommodation for Taoist priests who went out of the city to do business.

The two of them lived in the best guest room in the temple. Hu Guiyang fell on the bed as soon as he entered the house. "It's so comfortable."

Zuo Yu stood at the door and peered out for a long time. After confirming that he was not under surveillance, he turned around and said, "Can you do it?"

"At least you have to wait until dark, there are too many people now."

The Temple of Fire God will only have a strong incense during specific seasons. It is usually quite deserted. Only a small number of Taoists come in and out. Zuo Yu said coldly: "There is no need to wait any longer. We must set out before dark before it gets dark."

"Don't worry, I'll hide the divine jade in the Temple of Fire. We can't just go in broad daylight and take it. There must be someone guarding it there."

"Didn't you just put the divine jade in broad daylight?"

"It is easy to put and difficult to remove. There are two receivers there. One must be controlled to remove the other. If you are not careful..."

"At the latest, I will kill someone to make room for you if there is still someone in the hall."

"It's not that as long as the night comes, the people here should rest." Hu Guiyang smiled, but his heart was irritated. He had two receivers, one big and one small, all of which were searched. Even if he was still there, he could not control it with his current unfamiliar techniques.

He couldn't help but weigh his skills, whether he could defeat Zuo Yu with bare hands.

Zuo Yu is also in Taoist equipment, with a dagger hidden on his body, and there are no other weapons besides it.

"What are you looking at?" Zuo Yu asked.

Hu Guiyang moved his eyes away and yawned, "I didn't look at anything, I'm just staring in a daze."

The Fire God Temple attaches great importance to these two Taoist priests in Lingji Palace. The temple Zhu is not here. Taoists who are responsible for entertaining guests come frequently to visit, sometimes asking for tea and sometimes giving snacks. Every time they want to stay for a chat, they are ruthlessly rejected by Zuo Yu.

"You will cause suspicion when you do this." Hu Guiyang reminded him, sitting up from the bed because the Taoist said that the meal would start later.

Zuo Yu sneered, "If you are too polite to him, you will lose your feet."

Not long after, two Taoists came to deliver the meal, but they were still vegetarian, but there was real wine. Hu Guiyang tasted it for two, "The dishes are not as good as Lingji Palace, wine is good wine."

Zuoyu only took a few bites, and Hu Guiyang had enough food and drink.

The sky gradually darkened, Zuo Yu suddenly stood up, "I won't wait."

"Just black..."

"Even if there is a team of Jinyiwei in the hall, I won't wait."

"You're the final word." Hu Guiyang also stood up.

The two went out, walked around for a short while, and came to the hall.

The Temple of Fire God is not big and very dark, and there is only a lantern on the altar.

A middle-aged Taoist was guarding the hall, walking towards him and laughed, "Are the two real people coming to worship the gods? Although the fire god here is not as good as the second real people of Lingji Palace, it is quite effective. The people nearby and even the entire city of Fire travel are all looking at the fire god..."

"You go out, let's worship God alone." Zuo Yu said calmly.

"Does the two need guidance? The God of Vulcan is different from its god, and there is another set of worship."

"No need." Zuo Yu emphasized his tone.

The Taoist smiled awkwardly, "I'm outside the door, call me if you have something to do..."

Hu Guiyang suddenly flew up and kicked the Taoist man in the butt, "If you let me go, you can leave, why are you talking about it? Can't our Lingji Palace worship God?"

The Taoist staggered, his face suddenly changed, and he walked out in panic, "Yes, I'll go out now."

"What are you doing?" Zuo Zhi asked.

"Our Lingji Palace cannot be too polite to these Taoist priests in the miscellaneous temples, you said."

"Hey, stop talking nonsense, where is the God Jade?"

"You take two steps back."

Zuo Yu reluctantly took two small steps back. Hu Guiyang was dissatisfied and signaled him to retreat again. Zuo Yu had to take another step back.

Hu Guiyang knelt on the ground, carefully got under the altar, turned slightly, and groped gently under the table, without any sound for a long time.

The eternal lamp was placed on the altar, and Hu Guiyang was in the dark area under the lamp. Zuo Yu was anxious and whispered: "Isn't it better yet?"

"Shh."

Waiting for about a quarter of an hour, there was no movement under the altar. The middle-aged Taoist said from outside the door: "Two real people..."

"Get away." Zuo Yu shouted, his patience was almost exhausted.

The middle-aged Taoist ran away in a hurry and said to himself: It is said that the people in Lingji Palace have a bad temper, but it is true.

After waiting for a while, Zuoqiu took two steps forward, bent down to check, and whispered: "How long will it take?"

"Quick...ah..."

A scream came from under the altar.

Zuo Yu was shocked, rushed over and knelt down to check.

Hu Guiyang had been preparing for a long time and had not been waiting for Deng Haisheng, so he could only do it himself. Of course, there was no divine jade or a receiver under the altar. It was clean and there was not even a stone. Hu Guiyang touched it for a long time and the only "weapon" that could be found was the belt inside the Taoist robe.

He quietly untied his belt, wrapped his ends in his hand, and as soon as Zuo's head came in, he immediately put it on.

Zuo Yu was in the dark, and Hu Guiyang was in the dark, so this set could only estimate the position, so there was a lot of room left. It was indeed a middle-aged neck, but it could not be tightened immediately.

Zuo Yu was extremely alert. When he found something was wrong, he immediately reached out to grab the strap and fell to the ground and rolled.

Hu Guiyang followed him out, trying hard to hold on to the straps, collecting a little more.

The two of them didn't speak, and they just rolled around in the hall, fighting each other with their lives.

Hu Guiyang's previous caution was correct. Zuo Yu was originally a master of the Jinyiwei. After learning the Fire God Art, he has been practicing diligently and never interrupted. He is one of the few people who can get the supply of golden elixirs. His skills are steadily enhanced, but Hu Guiyang's skills are ups and downs, and now he is only stronger than the weakest time, and he is far from Zuo Yu's opponent.

The advantage brought by the sneak attack quickly disappeared. Zuo Yu finally pulled out the dagger and cut off the cloth strap wrapped around his neck.

Hu Guiyang turned over and ran out of the hall, but stopped at the door, turning around to face Zuo Yu who was already furious.

"Why don't you run away? There are people outside, don't you want to be implicated? Haha, I didn't expect Hu Guiyang is still a kind-hearted saint." Zuo Yu approached step by step, "You don't even care about the antidote? OK, then I will fulfill you."

"Kill me, where are you looking for Shenyu? How did you answer the Jinyiwei's explanation? How did you face your cousin Zuo Liang's parents?"

"I won't kill you, I will remove one arm and one leg until you are obedient."

Zuo Yu rushed over with a dagger, Hu Guiyang dodged and was soon forced into the corner, with no way out.

Zuo Yu did not take action immediately, stood three steps away, and was a little breathless, "I have always wanted to kill you. Although I can't do it completely today, at least I can cut off your limbs. Which arm to start with? Extend it out, I'll let you choose for yourself."

Hu Guiyang gasped even harder, and even at this time he could laugh, "Actually, you can do it completely."

"Um?"

"Tell you the truth, Shen Yu is not here at all, it is in Chen Xun's hands, and it will probably be taken away by Shang Ming soon."

Zuo Qi was stunned for a while and said sternly: "Impossible. Chen Xun has no connection with Shenyu, and he doesn't understand its benefits at all..."

"Is that true? When you were in your own room, you were specifically responsible for finding the divine jade. All the relevant documents had to be handled by Chen Xun. Would he not know the benefits of the divine jade?"

Zuo Yu couldn't speak, only breathing.

"Listen to me, right? Chen Xun was dissatisfied with Jiang Yun occupying the study, so he quietly took the spare key. He might have wanted to destroy the documents and cause some trouble for Jiang Yun, but he found a strange jade pendant in the pile of old papers. It felt different in his hand, so he took it home, appreciated it from time to time, and loved it the more he looked at it."

"When the news of the disappearance of the divine jade spread, Chen Xun realized that the strange jade pendant he found was the divine jade. He could hand it over and make a great contribution, but he didn't want to do this, because after a few days of time and night, he could no longer abandon the divine jade, and would rather take it to escape with it."

"Jiang Yun knew it was him, so he chased him to the dock. The person who killed Jiang Yun was really accomplice of Chen Xun? I don't think so, it's probably Chen Xun himself. Shenyu is indeed a good thing, but unfortunately I didn't carry it with me often, otherwise I wouldn't have lost to you tonight..."

Hu Guiyang's description was vivid, as if he had seen every move and every thought of Chen Xun with his own eyes.

Zuo Yu listened blankly, his anger rushed up. For Shenyu, he had given up too much and had no way back. As a result, he was teased all the way, and he was getting farther and farther away from Shenyu.

Chen Xun is the target of Dongchang. Even with Lingji Palace's help, he would not be able to rob him.

"Hu Guiyang!" Zuo Yu shouted loudly, raised his dagger, pounced on him and stabbed him directly, not to break his limbs, but to kill people.

Hu Guiyang immediately knelt down and rolled, and escaped from Zuozuo's crotch.

Zuo Yu was extremely angry. He used too much force and had no time to change his moves. The dagger stabbed into the wall and could not be pulled out for a while. He turned around and chased after him roared angrily. Even with both hands, he would strangle Hu Guiyang to death.

"You're done." Hu Guiyang also wanted to anger Zuo Yu, "The Jinyiwei arrested you, relatives hated you, wife and children lost their support, and had no food and clothing, and they would hate you even more..."

The furious Zuo Yu lost his composition, but his movements were faster and more ruthless. He quickly knocked Hu Guiyang down with a punch, pounced on him and grabbed his neck, "You have to die with me!"

Hu Guiyang struggled hard, but he could no longer gossip.

The eternal light illuminates the face exposed by the blue veins at the left, and the face is even redder than the light.

Suddenly, Zuo Yu's expression changed suddenly, his face quickly returned to normal, and there was no anger in his eyes, leaving only a dull and dullness.

Then he began to speak, speaking very fast, as if he was reciting scriptures, or as if he was explaining something urgently to someone.

Hu Guiyang cried out inwardly, and he angered Zuo Yu just to see this scene, but he didn't expect that Zuo Yu's hands were still pinching his neck, making it even harder to break free.

Hu Guiyang's face became redder and redder, with chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Just when he was about to be unable to hold on, someone finally rushed in and pulled Zuo Yu away with both hands.
