Chapter 21
Gu Feizhou ran to the shore, and the boat rowed over. The eunuch who punted the boat and the maid who picked the lotus rushed to the shore in panic. Satellite Lake jumped off the boat, with a serious face, and stretched out his hand, with dense strands of hair wrapped around his five fingers.
"There are dead people in the lotus pond, and there are quite a few of them." Weixing Lake took a step forward and whispered in Gu Feizhou's ear, "It's a mummy, a mummy soaked in water."
Gu Feizhou was startled.
If it was killed by humans, there would be no mummy in the water.
The two looked at each other, understanding each other's thoughts.
Most likely, monsters got in the palace.
In the resplendent and resplendent hall, the emaciated emperor sat on a dragon chair, and a row of foundation-building monks stood underneath. On the other side of the open space, there were more than a dozen corpses covered by white cloth.
These immortal cultivators, whose eyes are usually higher than the top, are now like children who have done something wrong, bowing their heads and saying nothing.
The head teacher of the Taiyi Palace took out a small box, which contained a gleaming golden elixir.
The little eunuch waited on the emperor to take it. As soon as Jin Danfu took it in, the emperor, who had been suffering from illness, suddenly became radiant, and his skin was no longer sallow and dry, but became elastic.
"I'm the only one who knows about the great ability of a real person to make alchemy. Those who don't know about it outside, just think of a real person with a kind heart, and only know how to understand Taoism and discuss scriptures." The emperor's words were light, but there was a sense of majesty.
The head teacher Zhenren Yihui, he is 170 years old this year, this age is very old even for a monk in the Foundation Establishment period.
He has dealt with the three emperors of this dynasty, and he understands the meaning of these people's words best.
"His Majesty the Emperor praised it. The old Taoist has been watching the sky at night recently, and found that there is a cloud that hides the evil spirit. The direction points to Chang'an City."
"Oh?" The emperor deliberately pretended not to understand, "What does this mean? My Dajin has the Taiyi Palace as the state religion's shelter, so how can there be a demonic aura? Could it be that the head teacher misunderstood it?"
The teacher didn't answer.
He originally planned to lead the emperor to ask the question "There are monsters in Chang'an". In this way, he could use the difficulty of reducing the big monster as an excuse to ask the emperor to come forward and join hands with the Qingye Sword Sect to kill the monster. The loss is only half of it.
But the emperor is the emperor after all, even if he is strong on the outside but on the verge of death, he is still the emperor.
These dozens of corpses were just placed in the center of the hall, pretending to be stupid for a while, so that Taiyigong would have to accept this job no matter what.
Once the high hat is returned, if the answer is "no demon", then the monster will attack and the reputation of the Taiyi Palace will be discredited; if the answer is that the Taiyi Palace is enough to resist, then a lot of manpower will be lost.
The emperor does not do business at a loss. To support a sect of cultivating immortals, not only must he allocate a large amount of silver, but also cede a large piece of land to the sect of cultivating immortals as resources for the sect.
The imperial court is not a gold mine or a silver mine. All the money has to be collected from the people. Once the tax is too high, it will attract complaints and may even shake the foundation of the dynasty.
Spending such an expensive price to support a sect of cultivating immortals, in addition to allowing the emperor to obtain the golden elixir that prolongs life, defending the territory of this dynasty from monsters is also what the Taiyi Palace should do.
After all, the title and rewards of the state religion are not provided free of charge.
At this point, several monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay.
In terms of the degree of damage to the body, this monster has at least 1000 years of cultivation, and all the monks in the foundation stage of the Taiyi Palace may not be his opponents, unless they have the help of monks above the golden core stage, they can be captured.
but……
Several monks looked at the head teacher, and found that even the real head teacher was showing embarrassment.
The sect of cultivating immortals is closely related to the dynasties of the world, and most of them are monks in the Qi training period and the foundation building period, and the monks in the Jindan and Yuanying periods who are further up will not easily leave the sect, even if the head teacher invites them personally, it may not be possible. Will sell this face.
"Your Majesty the Emperor." The head teacher finally spoke, "Chang'an is the imperial capital, protected by dragon veins, and ordinary monsters are not allowed to get close. Although the Taiyi Palace is full of talents, it is not like the few rookies of the Qingye Sword Sect. Young people are more popular with monsters. If it can be used as bait to feed it, the monster will definitely show up."
The little eunuch next to the emperor, who was used to old fritters, curled his lips and scolded "shameless person".
"What's the meaning of teaching the real person? Do you want to catch a few little demons, and you need the two great sects to join hands? Let the casual cultivators outside know, wouldn't you laugh your ass off?"
When people don't come, the voice comes first, and it's about Empress Jia.
After four or five counts, a bright and attractive woman dressed in brocade came from outside the door.Jia Shi is the successor, more than twenty years younger than the emperor. At this time, she is only in her early twenties, the most prosperous age.
In an instant, she had walked to the side of the emperor and saluted delicately, "I have seen the emperor."
The emperor nodded slightly, and Empress Jia understood, and asked her personal maid, Qiushuang, to bring a few maids and eunuchs up.
Those little eunuchs and palace maids stood together with the monks in the foundation-building period, and the real person in charge didn't know, so, "Empress, what do you mean?"
There was a smile on the corner of Empress Jia's mouth, as if she was determined to win, with complacency and arrogance written on her face, "Zhenjiao Zhenren, you have already cultivated in the foundation establishment stage, and you have lived a long time, but you don't even know what a monster is. "
Several monks in the foundation building stage showed angry faces, and the head teacher stretched out his hand to stop them, and said respectfully: "Please tell me clearly."
The frivolous young woman became more and more erratic. Empress Jia pointed to a group of servants and said to the head teacher: "You said there are demons in Chang'an, but you just saw a few corpses, but I ordered people to check the nameplates of the corpses, but they found out who the nameplates belonged to. It is these living servants, including my personal servant Qiushuang, all of them are alive and well, working diligently on errands."
All the immortal cultivators were horrified, one of the cultivators grabbed the arm of a young eunuch, but saw that the man's arm was warm, his breath was even, and there were shadows under his feet.
It is indeed a living person.
They lifted the white cloths of several corpses, and indeed there was a well-dressed mummy with the word "Autumn Shuang" engraved on the nameplate on its waist.
Empress Jia couldn't help laughing out, "Could it be that the head teacher is so old that he can't even distinguish between life and death? The most urgent task is to find out where these unidentified dead bodies come from, rather than worrying about whether Chang'an exists or not." There are monsters."
The head teacher seemed to have thought of something, and his face turned pale. He grabbed one of the young eunuchs, brought him to the corpse, and shouted: "Which one is you?"
The moment he saw his dead body, the little eunuch who had been alive suddenly stiffened, and an unknown flame suddenly ignited on his body, which disappeared in a moment.
Seeing this, the rest of the monks dragged the remaining court ladies and eunuchs to the corpse. Like the first little eunuch, all of them spontaneously ignited the moment they saw the corpse.
Empress Jia took two steps back and fell on the steps in front of the dragon chair. Before Qiushuang disappeared, she reached out to her and shouted "Empress Empress".
The black fly ash gathered together, all the monks took a few steps back, the headmaster waved the dust, "Array!"
The blue magic circle shone brightly, instantly crushing the gathered black and gray.
After a loud bang of "pong", a thumb-wide crack was left on the stone slab of the hall where the magic circle and black ash collided.
Among the monks, two of them covered their chests and vomited blood after withdrawing their spells. Even the head teacher's lips turned purple, suppressing his injuries with true energy.
The little eunuch was so frightened that he sat on the ground. He looked up at the emperor beside him, but saw that the emperor remained calm.
The emperor uttered a voice to appease the palace people in the hall, and asked the little eunuch beside him to take him back to the bedroom. Empress Jia's expression was already numb, and the beautiful woman who entered the hall at the same time looked like two different people.
The uninjured cultivator took out the elixir and asked the master teacher and the other two injured monks to take it. After taking the medicine, the master teacher sat cross-legged in the hall, pinched his fingers, and exercised his kung fu to heal his injuries. The beard and hair are automatic without wind.
After a cup of tea, Master Zhang stood up. He changed the attitude he had planned before, and pleaded sincerely to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it is an old man who is not good at Taoism. The monsters that invaded Chang'an this time are extraordinary. Has more than 2000 years of cultivation. I implore the Holy One, and invite the Qingye Sword Sect to help the Taiyi Palace, subdue demons and defend the way, and keep Changan Changan."
Martial law was imposed in Chang'an City, and the curfew time was advanced by an hour.
As soon as rumors of a demon spread, the whole community became anxious, and the price of talisman paper rose sharply, and even some irrelevant talisman paintings also began to increase in price.
The entire set of talisman paintings in "Xianxia Heroes" has approached the 4000 mark, and even the painting spirits cost 700 taels.
Gu Feizhou didn't understand.
It is true that these talisman paintings bring magic spells, but on the day when the big monster comes to Chang'an, what use is it to have a painting talisman painting that can conjure beautiful women in your hand?
Everything is nothing but mediocrity.
Everything is just a businessman's sitting on the ground.
But the whole market just went crazy.
Weixinghu anxiously advanced pocket money with Mrs. Wang, bought a lot of snowflake cream to open children's talismans, and said, "Feizhou, we are all mortals, we need to save more talismans to protect ourselves." !"
Gu Feizhou has already seen through, "You just want to eat snow cream."
"no!"
Weiying, as the commander-in-chief of the army, has not been home for more than half a month. Mrs. Wang missed her husband during pregnancy and became thinner day by day. Gu Feizhou noticed the woman's listlessness, and reminded Weixinghu: "Your mother has not been in a good condition recently. , how much you care about her."
Weixinghu wondered, "I didn't even fall into the water, how could my mother still have a miscarriage?"
Gu Feizhou shook his head, "I'm always uneasy. The so-called law of heaven is permanent. If our rebirth is also the law of heaven, then do we have the ability to change everything? Or even if we change many things, we still cannot escape the law of life and death." The predicament of life?"
Satellite Lake couldn't understand, and didn't understand what Gu Feizhou was doing.But the mother is his, and he and Mrs. Wang have a deep affection for mother and child. Although they don't say it, they are precious in their hearts. Therefore, in the next few days, they will try their best to please their mother every day.
Mrs. Wang's brows relaxed, and she regained her appetite.
At this time, the boy sent a message: "Master Hou has an accident."
