Chapter 220 The crisis of the imperial capital, the world is in an uproar
On the White Jade Bridge, Tang Mingzhao felt the vitality and vitality in her body, as if her whole body was refined inside and out, and she felt a sense of floating like a fairy.
An unprecedented light burst out from his eyes. Is this the medicinal power of the Blood Lotus Seed? It is indeed powerful.
In fact, the most precious thing about the blood lotus seed is that its efficacy is as useful as the banish officials like Tang Mingzhao who are blessed by the dragon energy of the Great Zhou.
Dragon Qi forbids all methods, and any exercise or spiritual medicine will become minimal under the suppression of dragon Qi. Otherwise, the Emperor Shenwu would not have had much trouble and used the people to refine human and demon pills at the beginning.
Unfortunately, this time the city-destroying action was to make him a wedding dress.
Tang Mingzhao slowly stood up and bowed heavily to Lan Yan, "I will remember the fairy's recreation of grace, and I am grateful for it."
At this moment, there was no Ji Dong in his heart, but sincere gratitude. After returning to youth and having the foundation of practicing Taoism, he realized how shallow he was before and how powerful the woman in front of him was.
Of course, Tang Mingzhao had subconsciously ignored the fact that he was an official in the court. At this point, he was already "dead".
At this moment, Lan Yan put away the charm on her face, became dignified and solemn, and said in a deep voice, "It's okay, you deserve it, you have made great contributions to the Holy Church. I am just an executor. I should not thank you very much. In the future, let me encourage you on the road of cultivation."
It was not until now that she began to look at Tang Mingzhao, because now he has barely embarked on the Taoist practice and is a fellow traveler. The gap between monks and mortals is so great that even if Tang Mingzhao is an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lan Yan could not kill him, but this could not be taken seriously.
Seeing Lan Yan's solemn expression, unlike the charming and seductiveness of the past, Tang Mingzhao seemed to notice something and nodded and stopped talking.
······
The sky was covered with dark clouds, like thick ink, and the dark sky light shone, giving the capital a little more depressing atmosphere.
Imperial City, Hall of Peace of Heart.
Outside the hall, teams of guards in armor were guarding the important roads and guarding them layer by layer. Anyone entering and leaving would be subject to heavy investigations, extremely strict.
In the Hall of Health, the lights were bright, and figures were either talking in a low voice, frowning, or coldly speaking. They were all the most exquisite imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Center, but no matter how high the medical skills were, they could not make a decision at this moment.
"Imperial Doctor, what is your majesty's condition?" In front of the dragon bed, a graceful and beautiful woman with gray temples walked out from behind the curtain. Looking at the scene, her eyebrows raised slightly.
"See the Queen." Seeing the woman, the imperial physicians hurriedly bowed, but when they heard her words, they all looked bitter and dared not speak.
Empress Chen walked forward and winked at the maid without any trace. Seeing this, the maid hurriedly stepped back and disappeared into the hall.
At this moment, only the eunuch Cao Yuchen, Empress Chen, and the imperial doctors were left here. After the palace maids retreated, the atmosphere in the hall became subtle instantly, and an emotion called panic began to spread to the imperial doctors.
Queen Chen glanced at everyone, and suddenly, the imperial doctors suddenly felt a heavy pressure coming, and unconsciously bent their bodies.
"Everyone is the saint of Xinglin. If you have anything to say, I wish you nothing is guilty!" A cold voice echoed in the hall and reached everyone's ears.
After the words fell, the expressions of these imperial doctors changed again. Some were relieved, some were still worried, and some were sweating profusely...
Just when the situation began to stalemate, a middle-aged imperial physician finally couldn't bear the pressure. He knelt on the ground with a "thump" and said loudly, "Empress, Your Majesty's body has become increasingly weak and his vitality has declined. In addition, he is busy with political affairs and exhausted, so he fell ill."
The words made all the imperial physicians look sideways, with complex expressions in their eyes. This colleague, you are very brave.
They obviously didn't expect that someone would dare to speak so bluntly. Imperial doctors are a dangerous profession, especially the imperial doctors who treat the emperor are even more dangerous.
Therefore, even if they were skilled in medical skills, they did not dare to make a conclusion, for fear of making taboos. Two years ago, His Majesty ordered the heads of several imperial doctors to be cut off.
How could they be careless as a lesson?
Hearing the imperial physician's diagnosis, Queen Chen's expression became more serious. Looking at the imperial physician kneeling on the ground, her voice became softer, "You get up first."
"Xie Niangniang."
"Dear doctors, do you have any other opinions?"
With the first person, there will be a second person and a third person...
However, these imperial doctors were very cautious. The words they said were no different from those who spoke first. At most, they were changed to another statement.
In fact, these imperial doctors certainly knew how old Emperor Shenwu’s body was. They were almost on the verge of exhaustion. If they were placed in ordinary families, they could basically tell their families to prepare for their funeral.
However, even though they knew it in their hearts, no one dared to say it. After all, the old things that were still vivid in my mind, who dared to talk too much? Besides, they lived in the imperial clinic for a long time and were not isolated from the outside world. The rumors at that time were rumored. Who can guarantee that there is really no such elixir in this world that can prolong life?
"You guys go down first."
"I'm going to leave!"
After these imperial doctors left, the chief supervisor Cao Yuchen immediately ordered the guards outside to take strict supervision of these imperial doctors and prevent them from revealing any news.
······
Xuande Gate is the closest gate to the inner city that entered the imperial city. It is now dusk, and it is still early before the palace gate fell. However, at this moment, two figures that have not appeared for a long time appeared in front of the palace gate.
Crown Prince Li Xian, King Li Nian of Qi!
Since the news that Emperor Shenwu took the human demon pill spread throughout the capital, and more rumors spread widely, Li Xian and Li Nian have never appeared in the court again. Calculate the time, it has been almost half a month.
During this period, the capital was undercurrents and all forces were ready to move, but the Crown Prince and the King of Qi remained motionless. Neither of them met the confidant minister nor did they do anything, but they chose to study behind closed doors and not ask about political affairs.
Today is the first time they have appeared in front of the imperial city since they have left behind to thank the guests.
When Emperor Shenwu was in a coma and vomited blood, Cao Yuchen immediately notified the queen and released the news. Such a big thing can't be hidden for long, so it's better to be a favor.
Outside the palace gate, Prince Li Xian was wearing a black robe, with a slightly hunched figure, and wrinkles were covered in the corners of his eyes. This scene made Li Nian feel frightened. He hadn't seen him in just half a month, why did he get so much older?
But what Li Nian didn't know was that Li Xian was also extremely surprised to see Li Nian at this time, because Li Nian, whose hair was spotted and covered with long black hair, turned out to be white, and crow's feet appeared in the corners of his eyes. He was more than ten years older than before.
The rumor at the beginning was a big blow to the two of them.
Although he was frightened, when he saw Li Xian, Li Nian still saluted without changing his expression. "My brother, please see the prince." There were not only a few pairs of eyes in front of the palace gate, how could he give the person a handle?
Li Xian nodded, showed a gentle smile and helped him up, then said softly, "Let's go, let's enter the palace together."
······
Outside Kunlun Mountain, four figures stood in the void, and at the same time looked at the northwest. The surging public resentment had condensed into a pillar of smoke, mixed with blood, which not only alarmed them, but also alarmed all the soul cultivators in the world. Even in the Great Zhou Shangjing City, there were several powerful divine thoughts revived.
Suddenly, divine thoughts crossed thousands of miles and came to explore, but the sight of them was shocking.
A prosperous city is empty, and a resentment makes people feel uncomfortable.
"What a cruel method to slaughter a city!"
"The public's resentment and resentment are so strong. Are you not afraid of karma being entangled and dead? "
······
Even though the monks had extraordinary state of mind, they were still extremely shocked when facing this powerful public resentment. No one dared to be so unscrupulous in the murder of monks. The existence of karma can not only make the monks die and eliminate their path, but also end their path.
Compared to the way to immortality, no one is so short-sighted.
Kunlun Mountain, Taoist Xuanming, Xue Bulan, and Master Wulan of the Three Kingdoms, the faces of Master Wudao became serious in an instant. Massacre of a city was nothing in their eyes, but what made them serious was why did the attackers massacre the city? What was their purpose?
Almost in an instant, Taoist Xuanming and Master Wudao turned their eyes to Xue Buran, wanting to see something from him.
Facing the eyes of the two, Xue Buran put away the Blood God Sword, his expression became colder and slowly spit out three words, "Human Demon Pill."
Yes, they can't think of any other uses for slaughtering so many mortals except for making human demon pills. Even they have to be taboo about the existence of karma. If it were not forbidden, who would slaughter hundreds of thousands of mortals?
Although the three sects had already destroyed the human and demon pill recipes back then, and even launched a war in the world of immortal cultivation, how could the three sects have no backup of such things?
Therefore, the first thing the two thought of was the Demon Sect, and only the madmen of the Demon Sect would do such things.
"This matter has nothing to do with my Demon Sect. Don't worry, you are plagued by karma. Even if you get the human demon pill, no immortal dares to do it unless he can survive under my sword." Facing the suspicious eyes of the two, Xue Buran replied coldly.
At this time, Su Ming, who had not spoken, spoke, "Zheng Ming, what did you mean by sending a message to the three of us here?"
In just one short sentence, Master Wudao and Xue Buran once again focused on Zhenren Xuanming.
Upon hearing this, Taoist Xuanming showed a hint of bitterness on his face, "This matter cannot be explained in just a few words. We will talk about it on Kunlun Mountain."
Su Mingdan glanced at Xuanming Zhenren, suppressed the horror in his heart, and said slowly, "Since that's the case, you can tell me a long story. There was something wrong with Dazhou. I don't have much time to waste here. If I really can't explain it clearly, you can send a message to me."
Just as the public resentment appeared, the aura of his luck sealed in the sea of consciousness increased sharply, as if he had taken magic medicine and almost broke through the blockade.
Fortunately, Su Ming's Dharma body was in charge of Su Ming's sea of consciousness, so he did not allow him to break through the seal, but even so, Su Ming understood where the public resentment came from.
Suddenly, Master Wudao and Xue Bulan looked at each other, with surprise in their eyes. They did not expect that Zhenren Xuanming was the head of the Kunlun Taoist Sect, and Su Ming was so disrespectful to him.
Facing Su Ming's arrogant attitude, Taoist Xuanming was not angry, but instead showed a warm smile. "The Great Zhou suddenly changed. As the Great Zhou national teacher, I am naturally anxious. However, what I said is also related to the stability of the Great Zhou. If it is allowed to develop, the Great Zhou will be in danger of overthrow. You must be cautious."
"Since the real person has said that, I will barely bother you again for a while. You should try to make a long story short. I am afraid that the sky will change before I return to the Great Zhou."
"good!"
Then, Master Xuanming began to tell the story of his discovery of the damage to the immortal energy, and sent five primordial spirit monks to southern Xinjiang to investigate, as well as the losses of the four primordial spirit monks, leaving only the result of the personal disciples escaping by chance.
After a cup of tea, Taoist Xuanming, Master Wudao, and Su Ming all showed solemn expressions. It was related to the fortune of the immortal Tao. They had to be cautious. Moreover, Kunlun Taoist suddenly lost four soul cultivators. No matter from any perspective, this matter was very difficult.
"Demon? The strange demonic energy is interesting." However, Xue Buran not only did not take the initiative, but instead showed an excited look. A killing god like him had countless dead souls under the sword. He was naturally very interested in encountering such a strange opponent.
Su Ming, who was standing by, felt bad when he saw this scene. The three sects finally began to pay attention to him, the inner demon, and were ready to unite to deal with him. He had expected such a situation.
Since the moment he occupied the southern border, he has been mentally prepared. But what he did not expect was that this incident would actually arouse bloody interest.
If he takes action, the inner demon will probably have to hide.
It is true that the inner demon's methods are weird and cannot be defended, but how powerful Xue Buran is is still a mystery. This action is destined to be unable to take action.
So, this is the real tricky thing.
Fortunately, the true abilities and means of the inner demon have not been exposed yet, and he still has enough time to prepare, and everything is still early. What's more, he has left a backup plan. Even if the inner demon path in southern Xinjiang is destroyed, he can still make a comeback in a short period of time.
Thinking of this, Su Ming glanced at the other three and said, "Three real people, matters are priorities. You need to be careful about this matter. It is best to come up with a charter after discussing, so that the devil in southern Xinjiang can be solved. I still have something to do, so I won't leave it here. You can pass the results of the discussion to me, and I will do my best to help."
"It's okay, you go first, I will definitely pass the results to you."
