The heavens set sail from the courtyard

The grassland is dotted with stars at night, but the faint starlight cannot bring any light to the surroundings.

Wang Gang stood on a hillside, looking at the Allied Forces camp in the distance, and couldn't help but sneer.

Wang Gang certainly knew the ambition of Xiling Temple, otherwise he would not have asked Li Hunyuan to persuade Li Zhongyi and play a trick of pretending to obey but actually disobeying.

The Tang Dynasty's heavy cavalry in black armor did leave Chang'an, but they did not come directly to the grassland. Instead, under the leadership of the great general Xu Shi, they traveled around the Tang Dynasty and ran to wherever there was disaster.

Even if there was no natural disaster, Wang Gang helped him to create a heavy rain, which made the roads muddy and the army unable to pass.

As for Xiahou's Zhenbei Army, although King Tang gave the order, the Zhenbei Army has not moved. It seems that Xiahou intends to disobey orders from the troops away from home!

The most important reason why Li Zhongyi transferred the Zhenbei Army was to test Xiahou's loyalty.

All along, Xiahou had his own army and was secretly communicating with the Xiling Temple. Li Zhongyi turned a blind eye to it for the sake of Queen Xia Tian.

If Xiahou ignores the Tang King's order and does not take any action, he will touch Li Zhongyi's bottom line.

So Wang Gang guessed that Xiahou would definitely come to the grassland, whether because of the imperial edict of King Tang or for other purposes.

Wang Gang brought Ning Que to the grassland because he wanted him to personally settle the feud with Xiahou.

"Teacher." Ye Hongyu walked behind Wang Gang at some point and saluted respectfully.

"No need to be polite." Wang Gang said with a smile: "You didn't attract anyone's attention when you came out!"

"No." Ye Hongyu said: "I took a long detour to get here."

Wang Gang waved his right hand and pulled Ye Hongyu into his inner space.

The inner space is a world of its own, independent of the Haotian world. It is Wang Gang's unique world and is not afraid of being monitored.

"Teacher, I finally found out that Zhishou Temple has collected five volumes of heavenly books except the Sun Volume. They may be in the hands of a middle-aged Taoist priest. No one knows his name, but he may be the junior brother of the temple master Chen, and his strength is unfathomable." Ye Hongyu said to Wang Gang.

"The middle-aged Taoist usually stays in Zhishou Temple and rarely goes out. I have no chance to steal the Heavenly Book."

Wang Gang smiled and said, "There is no rush to steal the Heavenly Book. Can you find out whether the person who harmed you back then was Xiong Chumo?"

Ye Hongyu's face suddenly darkened and she nodded silently.

"In that case, how do you plan to take revenge?" Wang Gang asked.

"Teacher, are you willing to help me?" Ye Hongyu stared at Wang Gang's face with burning eyes.

Wang Gang said: "If you can help me lead the middle-aged Taoist out of Zhishou Temple, I can help you and seal Xiong Chumo's cultivation. You should also want to kill him yourself!"

Ye Hongyu's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and she asked Wang Gang: "Teacher, is there something that Hongyu has been unclear about?"

Wang Gang said calmly: "You want to ask me why I want to get seven volumes of the Heavenly Book."

"If the teacher is embarrassed, then I won't ask." Ye Hongyu said tactfully.

"It's okay to tell you." Wang Gang said: "The seven volumes of the Heavenly Book in Zhishou Temple were left by the first generation of the temple master, a gambler, as a means to restrain Haotian."

"Restrict Haotian?!" Ye Hongyu was shocked.

After Wang Gang told Ye Hongyu about the origin of Haotian, he said: "The gambler used the seven volumes of the Heavenly Book to create Haotian, but he was also worried that Haotian would lose control, so he left a backup plan in the Heavenly Book.

If the descendants of Zhishou Temple feel that Haotian can no longer protect mankind, they can use the Seven Volumes of Heavenly Book to open the sky again!"

Ye Hongyu never expected that the Seven Volumes of the Heavenly Book had such terrifying power, and she never expected Wang Gang to tell her.

Wang Gang said to Ye Hongyu: "A teacher is someone who teaches, teaches, and solves problems. Since I have accepted you as my disciple, it is my responsibility to teach you."

Ye Hongyu was slightly moved. She originally thought that Wang Gang was willing to accept her as his disciple for the sake of the Taoist books and the seven volumes of the Heavenly Book in the Xiling Temple. Rather than being a master and disciple, they were more like collaborators with common interests.

"You don't have to think too much. Since I accepted you, I will treat you as my successor." Wang Gang said to Ye Hongyu: "Unless you don't regard me as your master."

Ye Hongyu had a complicated expression, and she couldn't calm down for a long time. Wang Gang continued, "I want to get the seven volumes of the Heavenly Book, not to replace Haotian, but to guard against the master of the temple."

Ye Hongyu was surprised and asked, "The master wants to replace Haotian?"

"Not yet, but that doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. I plan to separate the heavenly books and store them in a hidden place to stop the master from thinking about it first."

"Hongyu will definitely help the teacher to accomplish this task." Ye Hongyu said firmly.

"Do what you can and remember not to expose yourself. Anyway, the Ming scroll is in the hands of the academy, and there is no need to rush for the other heavenly books." Wang Gang reminded.

Ye Hongyu felt warm in her heart and said, "Teacher, don't worry. I have been able to hide under Xiong Chumo's nose until now, so I will naturally not expose myself."

Wang Gang gave Ye Hongyu a few more instructions before sending her back to the military camp.

Just as Ye Hongyu was about to take a rest, a knight from the Xiling Temple came over and told her that Luo Ke Di wanted to see her.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow." Ye Hongyu said impatiently.

"Commander Luo has instructed that since this is a matter concerning the headmaster, Director Ye must go over there," the Knight of Xiling said with difficulty.

Ye Hongyu said impatiently: "I know, go down now!"

After the Xiling Knight said goodbye, Ye Hongyu rushed to Luo Kedi's tent. She walked in directly without any help.

"Luo Kedi, why did you call me over?" Ye Hongyu asked bluntly.

Luo Kedi was unhappy, but he still said in a friendly manner: "I just received the Holy Edict from the headmaster. I asked Ye Sizu to come here to read the Holy Edict."

"Holy Edict, what instructions does the master have?" Ye Hongyu asked with lowered eyebrows.

Luo Kedi took out a bright yellow scroll and handed it to Ye Hongyu.

Ye Hongyu didn't hesitate to open it and took a look. The next moment, her eyes widened.

"Master, do you want to find a way to lure Wang Gang away from Li Hunyuan?"

Ye Hongyu was filled with shock and fear, thinking that Xiong Chumo knew that she had become his disciple.

A burly man wearing armor and holding a spear walked out from behind Luo Kedi. When Ye Hongyu saw this man, her pupils shrank.

"Xiahou?"

The burly man smiled and said, "I have heard of your name for a long time. Seeing you today, I find that your name is indeed worthy of your reputation."

Ye Hongyu glanced at Luo Kedi and Xiahou and asked, "What exactly does the headmaster want to do?"

Xiahou said in a deep voice: "Li Hunyuan, the third prince of the Tang Kingdom, pretended to obey the imperial decree of the Xiling Temple but secretly disobeyed it. This violated the will of Haotian. The temple will punish him with divine punishment."

Ye Hongyu frowned and said, "You want to kill Li Hunyuan, aren't you afraid of provoking a war between Xiling and the Tang Kingdom?"

Xiahou said lightly: "This time the coalition forces are fighting against the barbarians, and the battle is fierce and dangerous. Li Hunyuan brought Wang Gang and Ning Que here. It is normal for something unexpected to happen."

Ye Hongyu looked at Luo Kedi and said, "Wang Gang is the head teacher of the academy and the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty. His strength is unfathomable. I don't have the ability to lure him away and give you the opportunity to assassinate Li Hunyuan."

Luo Kedi laughed and said, "Don't be upset, Master Ye. Since the headmaster asked you to lead Wang Gang away, he must have made preparations. The great priest Tianyu has long predicted that the Heavenly Book of Mingzi will appear at the gate of the Demon Sect. This news will definitely help you lead Wang Gang over."

"The Demon Sect's mountain gate is an unknown place. Who knows where it is?" Ye Hongyu was still unwilling. She knew that the Mingzi scroll was in the academy.

Xiahou said confidently: "You don't have to worry about this, Ye Sizu. I, Xiahou, will tell you where the Demon Sect's mountain gate is."

Ye Hongyu suddenly realized: "I forgot that you, General Xiahou, are a member of the Demon Sect, so you naturally know where the mountain gate is."

Xiahou's face straightened and he said, "Xiahou has long since abandoned the dark and joined the light, and returned to Haotian's embrace. He is no longer a member of the Demon Sect, but a guest official of the Temple!" (End of this chapter)
