Raising the Sword into the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 18 Blood Pill Liuhe
Zhongqi heard the emperor ask himself, and said in a high-pitched voice: "There was once a good person in the world who ranked the top 100 martial arts practitioners in the world on the 'Shenzhou Lingjue Ranking'. What was originally a joke actually attracted the attention of the people in the Shenzhou martial arts community.
They fought hard to be famous on this list. After the bloody storm, the number of hundreds on this list has continued to this day. The number one person is the Qi Yun Sword God Li Kurong who was on the "Shenzhou Lingjue List".
Luo San, who is in the Heaven-Knowing Realm, helped the First Emperor to pacify the Central Plains. This person had already reached the Grandmaster realm back then. He had a glazed sword and Xuantian Sword Intent, and was unstoppable by anyone in the world. He ranked third on the list."
"Li Kurong once helped my father, and he was obsessed with martial arts. He doesn't seem to be a person who uses force to break the ban." The emperor played with the white jade hand and said.
Zhong Qi bowed and continued: "The second person is Duanmu Zhenren, a closed-door disciple of Daoxuan in the Northern Jin Dynasty. It is said that this person has already stepped into the realm to know the sky at a young age. He has a Yin-Yang Demon-Suppressing Sword on his back that can kill demons.
Eliminate the demons and go straight to the upper reaches of the Shenzhou Lingjue Ranking."
"Northern Jin Dynasty?" The emperor paused while playing with the white jade hand and said, "Continue talking."
"This third person." Zhong Qi's high-pitched voice paused and continued: "Tang Jiu, a famous martial arts sect in the Southern Tang Dynasty. The Tang sect was famous for its light kung fu, hidden weapons, and poisonous kung fu, but this Tang Jiu didn't
Xibensect's martial arts, based on the Tang Sect's Qinggong, he created nine styles of swordsmanship, called Jianjiu. With his sword intention and internal strength, he has reached the level of a master, ranking ninth on the 'Shenzhou Lingjue Ranking'."
Seeing that the emperor had not spoken a word, Zhong Qi said to the others: "This fourth person is also from Qi Yun's martial arts. I call him Yang Zijun. This person came to Wangli Villa ten years ago. In just ten years, he changed from a martial artist who didn't know how to do martial arts."
He reached the realm of Zhitian, obtained the true inheritance of Xuantian Sword Intent from Li Kurong, and used the Junzi Sword in his hand to wipe out the evil-doing Qingfeng Village overnight. This person was expected to become another master on the "China's top ranking" since Li Kurong.
Later, he lost his whereabouts and his whereabouts are still unknown, and he was removed from the 'Shenzhou Lingjue List'."
"The fifth person is a woman. This woman's whereabouts are unknown. It is said that this woman is skilled in sword dancing and wields a rouge sword. No one has seen this woman's face, and no one knows her name. Only those who have seen her
They are all dead. All the deceased's internal organs were chopped to pieces by sharp swords, but their faces were smiling, as if they had tasted the rouge red lips of a beauty. Back then, there were rumors that the fifth-ranked 'Rouge Sword' and 'Shenzhou Lingjue Ranking'
The top one, 'Tianjizi', had a battle, and then both of them disappeared, but the bodies of these two people were never seen, and the 'Shenzhou Lingjue Ranking' did not remove these two people from this list." Zhongqi said.
I know that the master of swordsmanship in the world will report it to the emperor.
The emperor heard Zhong Qi hunched over and finished talking about these five sword masters in a high-pitched voice. He gently twisted the white jade hand he was playing with at his fingertips. After a moment, the emperor spoke softly: "Did you miss something?"
Bit?"
Zhongqi heard a trace of panic in his eyes when he heard what the Holy Master said. Then he drooped his eyelids to cover the emotions in his eyes and said, "Maybe the old slave is old and can't remember some things clearly."
The emperor put the white jade glove on his wrist. The emperor looked at Zhongqi with his eyes. After a while, he chuckled and said: "You have forgotten all the things you should forget. I will tell you what you want to say."
"Old slave obeys the order and reports to the Holy One that there is indeed one person. The eldest son at that time, Emperor Lin, who is now dead, became sworn brother, Gu Jianyi of the Tsing Yi Sword Sect. Back then, Gu Jianyi returned to the mountain and fought, and defeated him at the level of a grandmaster.
Daoxuan Zhenren, the fourth person in the "Shenzhou Ling Jue List", was relegated to immortal by the Northern Jin Dynasty. This battle was known to the whole world. After that battle, with the funeral of Emperor Lin, Gu Jianyi also disappeared into the world. Therefore, people in the world only know about this battle.
But I don’t know his name, and before Gu Jianyi came out of the mountain, very few people in the world knew Gu Jianyi, so he was not included in the list." After Zhong Qi said this, he secretly looked at him with the corner of his drooped eyes.
The emperor, seeing that the emperor still had a leisurely expression, felt relieved and continued to lower his thick eyelids.
Lights flashed in the emperor's eyes. After a long silence, he spoke: "Gu Jian defeated the banished immortal when he was a master. Although he lost his arm and his level plummeted, he and I had an oath and would never do it again.
After stepping into the Jianghu, I no longer care about worldly affairs. Who do you think the other people will be? I think this person will never come to my Jianglin City just to kill a few Jiumen guards."
"Your Majesty has a clear lesson," Zhongqi said with his eyelids lowered.
"That child that day..." The emperor changed the topic and mentioned what happened eighteen years ago.
Zhongqi's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the child has left with his mother that day. Please don't worry about the old slave's hand."
The emperor heard what Zhong Qi said and stared at Zhong Qi. After a while, he withdrew his gaze and said: "With your cultivation level, you will definitely not miss when you start. I trust you more." After saying that, he raised his head and looked out the window.
He looked at Zhongqi again and continued: "It's the beginning of the new year again. Have you finished eating the pills?"
Zhongqi heard the first half of what the emperor said and just breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing the second half, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said with a trembling voice: "It is already the beginning of the month. Please ask the Holy One to give you this month's Liuhe Pill."
The great eunuch who had defeated Yan Qingchuan, the successor of Wandering Dragon Palm, in one breath on the way to the side hall, was really like an old dog, kneeling down and begging for mercy.
The emperor caught a glimpse of Zhong Qi's appearance at this moment, and said contemptuously: "I have ordered people to deliver this month's elixir to your residence. You are tired today, so please wait for me to rest."
After Zhongqi heard what the emperor said, he hurriedly thanked him, climbed up from the ground tremblingly, waited for the emperor to enter the bed, and then quietly exited the palace. His rickety figure slowly walked in the night of the palace to Jingyang.
Next to the palace, outside a small, cold courtyard, Zhongqi stopped walking, pushed open the door of the courtyard, entered the courtyard, and closed the door.
Compared with the rest of the palace, the small courtyard looks lifeless. Even the cold palace where the harem concubines are imprisoned is more vibrant than this small courtyard. Unlike other palaces, the small courtyard has cats, dogs, pets, and even trees, flowers, and plants.
None, making this small courtyard even more gloomy and cold.
Zhongqi opened the door. There was a small, crystal clear jade bottle on the table in the center of the door. When Zhongqi saw the jade bottle, he ran away like a cat seeing something fishy. He stretched out his hand to hold the jade bottle and couldn't wait to open the lid of the jade bottle.
He sniffed the strange aroma emanating from the elixir in the bottle. There were dozens of blood-red pills lying in the bottle, which were as red and dazzling as human blood. Zhongqi held the jade bottle, with a trace of unwillingness in his drooping eyes. Suddenly
Zhongqi threw the jade bottle against the wall. The jade screen hit the wall and shattered into pieces. The red pills in the bottle were scattered on the ground. The gray floor tiles made the bright red pills stand out.
After Zhongqi left the jade bottle behind, his rickety body walked to the couch in the room and fell asleep under the quilt. Not long after, Zhongqi, who had just fallen asleep, started to twitch. Zhongqi suddenly sat up and hurriedly moved.
He crossed his legs, but still couldn't stop twitching. Even the folds on his face began to tremble. Beads of sweat dripped down the folds on his face. He opened his eyes suddenly, and Zhongqi's whole body actually burst out.
Layers of air waves shattered the door and windows of the small room, and the air waves roared out.
In several small courtyards around, a young eunuch who had just entered the palace was awakened by the noise. He was about to go out to check, but was pulled back by the old eunuch at the window. The young eunuch was confused and asked softly: "An Zhongguan, what is this?"
Why is the sound so scary?"
The old eunuch who was called An Zhongguan made a silent gesture and pulled the young eunuch into the house. After checking that there was no one around, he closed the doors and windows tightly and said softly to the young eunuch: "This voice comes from the servant."
This message was sent from the residence of our Lord, Eunuch Zhongqi. You have just entered the palace. I didn’t know that our Eunuch Zhongqi was originally a martial arts master. After being subdued by our Lord, I heard that he injured his lower body. He is not a martial artist.
He has become a complete man, so he entered the palace and became our emperor’s personal eunuch.”
After Zhongguan An finished speaking, he listened outside the window. After realizing that no one was eavesdropping, he continued to the young eunuch: "When I entered the palace at the beginning of the year, no one knew the origin of this loyal Qi father-in-law. At that time, there were many gentlemen.
I thought he was a newcomer, and used our man's method to get money from this Zhongqi Gonggong. The Zhongqi Gonggong didn't say much, so he gave the money and went to his own yard, but that night was just like last night. This Zhongqi Gonggong
The father-in-law was wailing in his own courtyard, and there were many strange phenomena. But these men, relying on the fact that the Zhongqi Eunuch paid the money honestly during the day, went to the Zhongqi Eunuch's courtyard to argue, but several of them went and never returned.
, the next day, the Supervisor of Ceremonies sent people to carry out the bodies of several people from the Zhongqi Gonggong Courtyard. Not long after I entered the palace, I saw it from a distance. The death of those men was so horrific that I was shocked.
I’ve had nightmares for many days in a row!”
"If a person's life is lost, the Supervisor of Ceremonies will not care?" The young eunuch was so frightened by what Zhongguan An said that he shivered.
"Don't say that the Supervisor of Ceremonies doesn't care. I heard from the man who served the Holy One that even our Holy One just said 'No need to ask any more questions' and took the matter away. From then on, this loyal Qi
Father-in-law, no one will dare to go there again, and no one will dare to provoke the loyal Eunuch Qi again." Zhongguan An showed fear in his eyes and told the young eunuch everything he knew.
"Little Ye Zi thanks An Zhongguan for saving his life." After hearing this, the little eunuch hurriedly bowed to An Zhongguan.
"There is no need to be too polite. From now on, little Yezi, please remember to stay away from the residence of Eunuch Zhongqi." Zhongguan An waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be too polite.
While the two were secretly talking, Zhongqi's wailing and screaming sounds came from outside the house. They both fell silent and looked out the window at Zhongqi's residence in horror.
At this moment, Zhongqi no longer looked like he was doing his exercises with his legs crossed just now. He was rolling on the floor tiles in this room in pain. Zhongqi felt as if insects were biting him in the meridians all over his body. The pain was unbearable, and suddenly he felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
The cold was abnormal. With a hazy consciousness, he reached out to take away the quilt on the couch and reluctantly touched the quilt. The feeling of coldness disappeared and was replaced by pain like burning fire. Zhongqi could no longer bear such torture.
, released and wailed. When his consciousness was hazy, he saw a person in front of him, wearing a bamboo hat and a black shirt, with the word "Tang" in gold thread on his sleeve. This person stood by the door and looked at him coldly.
, Zhongqi's eyes showed happiness and longing, and he didn't know what kind of emotion he was, and he spoke in a sharp voice: "Master, save the disciple."
The black Jinshan looked at him and said coldly: "Traitors, traitors to the country and teachers, they should be killed." He saw his body move slightly, and three silver needles shot out from his palms. The speed of the silver needles was so fast that Zhong Qi
With such a level of cultivation, he had no time to dodge. The silver needle went straight towards the big hole in his chest and penetrated his body. Zhongqi shouted and looked down to see if there were any wounds on his chest. When he looked up again, he saw a woman in brocade clothes with her face covered in blood.
Looking at himself, he said in a miserable voice: "You and I have never met each other, and we have no grudges. Why do you want to kill my mother and son today? Do you know where this place is and who my husband is?" After saying this, the woman in brocade stretched out her hand.
His hands covered with blood pinched Zhongqi's neck. Zhongqi felt that his whole body could not be used. Just when he couldn't breathe, his eyes went dark.
Zhongqi looked into the room, where was the woman in brocade clothes, but it was his own hands that were holding his neck. Zhongqi gasped for air, and suddenly saw the bloody pill that he had thrown away and scattered on the ground.
As if grasping a life-saving straw, like a dying old dog, he crawled towards the elixir, stretched out his hand tremblingly, regardless of the fact that the elixir was covered with dust, grabbed one, and stuffed it into his mouth. After a moment, it dispersed.
The internal strength of the various points returned to the Dantian, and the feeling of rats and insects in the veins disappeared. Zhongqi closed his eyes and crossed his legs. After burning a stick of incense, Zhongqi exhaled a breath of turbid air. His eyes were introverted, and he looked at the bloody pills scattered on the floor tiles in front of him.
Zhong Qi's drooping eyes seemed angry and unwilling, but he still reached out and took out a brocade handkerchief, picked up the scattered pills one by one, and placed them in the brocade handkerchief. Zhong Qi carefully put them away.
, with a trace of anger in his eyes, he looked out the window in the direction of Yunshu Palace in the distance.
In the side hall of Yunshu Palace, Yan Qingchuan, who was resting cross-legged and concentrating, was shocked by the movement just now. He thought that there was such a master in the imperial city. Could it be his loyal Eunuch Qi who had forced him back with just one move? But this movement was really...
Tai Da, as the commander of the imperial department, I still went to check it out and made up my mind. Just as he was about to push the door open, the young eunuch's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty ordered that Commander Yan just rest and do not do anything else."
Need to worry about”.
The palm that was pushing against the door was retracted again. Yan Qingchuan thought about the matters in the palace. His Majesty had already given instructions, so he would stay in the side hall to rest. With the palm retracted, Yan Qingchuan went to the couch and continued to regulate his breathing.
On the couch in the back hall of Yunshu Palace, the highest ruler of Qi Yun was lying on his side on the couch at the moment. The distant sound coming from the palace just now did not disturb his sleepiness, but instead made a smile appear on the corner of the emperor's mouth, as if
I was having a sweet dream, I don't know if it was talking in my sleep or murmuring when I was awake, but I vaguely heard from the emperor's mouth: "Liuhe Pill, it is difficult for gods to be immortal".
