After Zong Yingkong was injured, it took him two days and two nights to wake up. He immediately understood that he had been plotted just like last time. It was either the fox demon or the foreign monk who was in the way. He could not determine the identity of the foreign monk, nor
We can't be sure whether these outsiders are all the same person, so we can only take precautions, or take the initiative to see if the people in the dark can reveal their flaws.
But he has already lost two lives. If he dies again, he will really die. Moreover, the skills he practices are special and deceive the way of heaven. Once he dies, his soul and cultivation will dissipate between heaven and earth, and there will be no reincarnation.
Chance.
With the soul power he has accumulated in the illusion of reincarnation over the past few hundred years, he will be able to ascend to the Mahayana after leaving. He must not die in this place.
Zong Yingkong rested for half a month. Regardless of the fact that the injury on his head was still not healed, he entered the palace again and asked the emperor to capture the fox demon hiding in the palace.
The emperor was angry, why did the Taoist priest still mention such unknown things and spread the word, which would damage his reputation as a wise king.
Last time, in front of many people, it was difficult to refuse such a highly respected Taoist priest. "Abbot Zong, are you worrying too much? No one was killed in the palace, and there were no strange things. It doesn't seem like there was someone."
Fox demon."
"Your Majesty, last time I was hit by a plaque inexplicably, it was because the evil spirit was afraid that I would find her. If this monster is not removed, there will be victims other than me in the future."
The emperor thought for a while and realized that this was indeed strange. The Construction Department regularly repaired the palace, and the plaque was very strong and could not fall down without external damage.
At that time, in full view of everyone, except Abbot Zong, no one else approached the entrance of the hall. If it was a monster, it would indeed make sense.
There are things hidden in the palace that he cannot control, which are always a disaster, so he agreed with Abbot Zong to identify monsters, "I allow you to identify and catch monsters in the palace, but this matter is not trivial and can easily cause panic. I also asked Abbot Zong to do the concealment."
some."
Zong Yingkong knew that the fox demon was the emperor's red concubine, but he could not accuse the concubine directly, so he had to find an opportunity to expose it.
Targeted actions will not cause too much noise. "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the fox demon is in the harem. Just ask the queen to hold a palace banquet. Then there will be no need to summon everyone in the name of catching the fox demon."
The emperor was still unhappy. The fox demon was in his harem. Doesn't it mean that he was Xia Jie and Shang Zhou? It was said that the great Shang Dynasty was not stable.
"I hope Abbot Zong will not disappoint me."
When Tang Yue and Hong Yu heard that the queen said that the flowers were blooming well recently and they were going to hold a Hundred Flowers Banquet, they knew that this was a trap set by Zong Yingkong.
But they were ready, thanks to the Hidden Immortal who had infiltrated the Qingyang Palace into a sieve. He really felt that the Young Master of Xiandu was much better than Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Ji in this aspect.
Is this the wisdom of businessmen?
The queen exchanged greetings with the concubines and got to the point, "Abbot Zong recently presented a rare crystal mirror. Although it is transparent, it can be used as a mirror. It is much better than a bronze mirror. Today, I will
This spar mirror is placed in the flower garden. When the sisters look at it, it feels like they are standing among the flowers."
The imperial concubine was surprised, "There is such a magical mirror. It is the empress's ingenuity that she can think of using this mirror in this way."
"My sisters stay in the palace for a long time and can't go out to play. It's good to have interesting things like this to relieve your boredom. Sisters, let's go and see it."
When the queen said this, naturally all the concubines had to look at the mirror.
Hong Yu had previously discussed with Tang Yue that there was indeed a kind of spar. The image of a human being in the spar remained unchanged. When a demon cultivator stood in front of this spar, his true form would appear in it.
After Hongyu went to Qingyang Palace to see it in person, he confirmed that it was the kind of mirror made of demon-detecting crystals.
Abbot Zong stayed aside, waiting for Hongyu to show her prototype, and then fought with her, and then used the Heavenly Thunder to capture her.
His abacus was very good, but for some reason, he felt that the crystal mirror was sparkling today.
The concubines went to look in the mirror one by one. They were really surprised. They had never seen such a transparent mirror. They could see what was behind the mirror and their own figure was reflected.
Moreover, this transparent mirror is much clearer than the blurry bronze mirror. The imperial concubine praised: "Abbot Zong is indeed an expert, and he can handle such a rare thing."
King Rui told her in advance that there was a fraud in today's palace banquet, but he had already solved it, so she should treat it as a normal palace banquet, eat and have fun.
Finally it was Concubine Hong's turn. Zong Yingkong became nervous and ordered his disciples to get ready and take out the magic weapon, only to wait for the figure of a fox to appear in the crystal.
To his surprise, Concubine Hong stood in front of the mirror, and the image inside did not change at all. She was still the same beautiful woman with a charming smile and beautiful eyes.
Abbot Zong felt bad. Could it be that the foreign monk this time was very proficient in strange arts and had methods to deal with demon-detecting crystals, and he taught them to Hong Yu?
In his life experience, he has never encountered a demon cultivator who could escape this precious demon identification crystal.
This can't be blamed on Zong Yingkong's ignorance, and since his cultivation level has been blocked, he can't tell that the crystal mirror is no longer the same as before.
Tang Yue directly asked King Rui to change the mirror. What is now in the flower garden is a five-centimeter transparent semi-reflective coated glass that she asked Hong Yu to bake with a high-temperature flame.
Or she once saw this kind of glass that was interesting in modern society, so she went to find out how to make it, and now she just happens to use it.
King Rui was surprised when he received this glass. He had transparent colored glaze from the West, which was expensive and he only had two pieces. The colored glaze could not achieve such a perfect "light discernment".
He was a little reluctant to give this strange transparent glass mirror to Zong Yingkong.
However, Gu Guiren said that the crystal mirror in Qingyang Palace was more valuable and would be worth replacing, so he cruelly asked his men to replace it.
He asked Gu Guiren to get the method of making this transparent mirror.
Tang Yue told King Rui that the method for making this mirror was provided by Hong Yu, and told Hong Yu that the method was provided by King Rui. As long as they did not communicate, they would not find out that they were lying to them.
Kureha never cared about such trivial matters, and naturally she would not take the initiative to mention it to Zangxian; Zangxian wanted Tani Takato to steal the mirror-making method from Kureha, and he had a ulterior motive in his heart, so he would not ask if the recipe belonged to her.
.
So neither of them found anything different about Tang Yue.
All the concubines looked in the mirror, and no one had any problems. To make sure, the queen placed the mirror here, and authorized the palace people to also look at this strange mirror.
A week later, everyone in the palace had looked in the mirror.
The emperor summoned Abbot Zong and asked him angrily, "Abbot Zong, that mirror didn't reflect any monsters, how do you explain it?"
Zong Liangkong handed over his hand and apologized to the emperor, "The monster must have tampered with the mirror. I hope the Holy One will give me another chance."
The emperor refused directly, "Last time we mobilized troops, nothing was found. I can't do such a thing again. You go back. I will summon you if anything happens."
Zong Yingkong knew that he had angered the emperor, so he did not dare to say any more and went out directly.
When he walked out of the palace, he secretly swore: Even if the emperor here is the incarnation of an illusion, he will kill him when he leaves to vent his anger. How can he, a dignified monk, be insulted by a mortal?
In the evening, Tang Yue returned to his yard and prepared to rest early. It was not easy to refine glass these days.
She only knew a rough method, and she and Kuangyu tried many times before making the final glass mirror.
Opening the door, there was a man standing inside, wearing a lake blue robe with rusty silver patterns on it, low-key and luxurious.
Tang Yue shouted softly toward the door, "Here, there is a prostitute."
Zangxian was angry, "It's me, do you really want to call someone here?"
Of course she could see that this man was a hidden immortal, so she shouted softly to find that no one could be summoned.
"I wonder if His Highness Prince Rui has come to visit me? What advice do you have?"
