Chapter 735: The Animals in the Palace
Amidst the thick smoke, a pair of red lights appeared above the black alchemy furnace, with agility and consciousness, as if they were looking at everything around them.
Xue San took a few steps back silently, he felt that he was not conspicuous at all, and now, it's better to be even more inconspicuous.
And the red-robed little eunuch walked to the front of the alchemy furnace,
With a wave of his arm, suddenly a wind blew up inside the palace, and after the thick smoke cleared, what was revealed was a phantom of a Pixiu.
The whole body of this Pixiu is black, like a ball of ink and wash coming alive from a self-portrait, but the power on its body cannot be faked at all. The only thing that is different from black is its bright red eyes, with supreme majesty .
"It's the spirit of Pixiu who has left the body." The little eunuch in red robe said to himself.
"Roar!"
immediately,
Pixiu let out a roar, and the pill furnace began to tremble violently.
"He wants to completely break free from the shackles of the pill furnace!"
The little red-robed eunuch immediately stepped forward, pinched seals with both hands, and gathered wind from his side.
"town!"
then,
From above the spirit of Pixiu, a talisman appeared.
Pixiu raised his head and looked at the talisman above.
After the little red-robed eunuch formed the seal, he pressed his hands down violently.
The sigil suddenly fell!
Pixiu's body forcibly supported it, and even when the talisman touched it, it still stood firm.
As you can see, it seems to want to come out.
actually,
The little red-robed eunuch was not talking to himself earlier, his purpose of saying those words was very simple, that is to get the two subordinates of Lord Pingxi to help.
Just as Ah Ming saw that this little red-robed eunuch was unusual at first sight, in fact, when the little red-robed eunuch looked at Ah Ming, he could feel the blood on this man's body, which was very strange.
Qi refiners are actually more sensitive to this aspect.
And that dwarf turned on the alchemy mechanism lightly, which is enough to prove that these two people are capable.
but,
The issue is,
Whether it's A Ming or Xue San, it's okay if you want them to do something. For things like putting out a fire, unless the Lord personally speaks, otherwise, they really don't have that kind of subjective initiative.
Right now, they are in the kind of attitude that they don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, their faces are full of concern and tension, and in their hearts, they really wish that the spirit of Pixiu can come out and wander around, so that they can watch the excitement .
A Ming also asked:
"This Pixiu, why can't you come out?"
In the big guy's established thinking, the Pixiu on his master is very cute and docile, and the other three Pixiu are also diligent mounts.
Zike shouted directly:
"You have been suppressed for a hundred or two hundred years, don't you feel resentment in your heart?"
This explanation makes sense.
Even a loyal and obedient Pai Xiu has been imprisoned here for so many years, and his temper must have been distorted long ago. What's more, this man was suppressed because of his ferocious temper and disobedience to discipline.
"Roar!"
On the alchemy furnace, Pai Yao roared again, and the seal immediately shattered.
Immediately afterwards,
Between the pill furnace and Pixiu's body, it seemed that something had finally been torn apart.
No,
To be precise,
It was a claw that suddenly protruded from under the alchemy furnace.
Only one-fifth of the claw was left with some skin and flesh, and most of the area was already bones, exuding a simple and simple atmosphere.
Xue San felt that it was a pity that Liang Cheng was not here. That zombie definitely liked this kind of tune.
Zike's arrangement was interrupted because of the appearance of that claw, and the second talisman could not be formed in time, so that the phantom of Pixiu on the pill furnace completely broke free from its restraints and flew down.
The nail of the index finger of Zike's left hand pierced the palm of his right hand, and at the same time as the blood flowed out, he drew a spell in front of him.
"Seal, suppress, ban!"
"Buzz!"
However,
The Pixiu phantom that escaped from the alchemy furnace showed an unimaginable vigor, and split into three in an instant.
Zike's banning technique has taken shape, but he can't really implement it and fight it out.
The timing is fleeting, three phantoms of Pixiu penetrated the gate of the palace, landed on the outside field, and instantly condensed into one.
"Woo woo woo..."
Like the cry of the undead, endless cries were faintly heard around.
The spirit of Pixiu raises its front hooves,
stomping on the ground,
It seems to be venting some unknown emotion.
However, it did not cause any flying sand and rocks, and the blue bricks on the square were not damaged at all, but the horror of this aura can indeed be clearly perceived.
………
"Escort! Escort!"
Rows of soldiers rushed to the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and formed formation.
The shield is in front, the crossbow is in the back, and the two wings are guards with knives.
at the same time,
Wei Zhonghe, who was originally serving in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, came in person, and behind him, eight eunuchs in red robes appeared.
Thanks to the existence of the grand master in the palace, the eunuchs in the palace of Yan Kingdom have basically practiced the art of refining qi. There are different levels and talents. The position is higher.
Ji Chengjue also walked to the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and beside him stood Pingxihou Zheng Fan.
All the important officials also came out to watch.
at this time,
Above the palace, there are already dark clouds billowing, and many people have recognized that this weather is quite similar to the feeling that the master Qian Guozang entered Yanjing to cut the dragon's veins.
And at that time, the phantom of the wild beast had already appeared outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The little eunuch in red robe followed closely behind, trying to stop him.
farther away,
Ah Ming and Xue San were on the verge of carrying melon seeds in their pockets, but when they saw their master standing there, they immediately realized that the situation seemed a bit complicated.
And at this time,
Eunuch Wei jumped up,
From between the two sleeves, blue horses shot out, like two leather whips, and directly pulled at the phantom of the Pixiu.
Qi refiners actually specialize in dealing with these spirit bodies.
However,
This time, Pixiu still chose to dodge. Its figure is moving rapidly, not an exaggerated rolling, but a mirror-like movement.
The construction of the palace pays attention to the formation method and feng shui pattern, the alchemy furnace is the eye of the formation, Pixiu has been trapped in it for a hundred years, and it has already formed a certain echo with the atmosphere of the palace.
Here, in fact, is its home field.
Eunuch Wei's several strikes did not achieve any effect, and he was shocked, but he didn't dare to go too far, for fear that this brave beast would suddenly make a sudden advance and endanger His Majesty.
At this time,
Li Liangshen appeared with a big sword. Now he is in charge of the defense of the capital, and the most important part of the defense of the capital is the palace.
The previous bolt from the blue was enough for a strong man of his level to quickly sense it, and it was only natural for him to appear now.
However, just as Li Liangshen was about to make a move, Wei Zhonghe called to stop him:
"Go escort!"
Li Liangshen was a little puzzled, although he was not a Qi refiner, but after his strength reached a certain level, his sword energy was enough to crush some spirit bodies.
"This is not an ordinary spirit of Pixiu, it carries the incense of Great Yan National Fortune on its body!"
This Pixiu has suppressed the alchemy furnace for a hundred years, and that alchemy furnace was once borrowed by the grand master in the palace to sacrifice. After the Tibetan master cut off the dragon's veins, the grand master took away the orthodox luck on Tianhu Mountain to make up for the country's luck. In fact, it was based on this The alchemy furnace, in essence, uses the brave under the alchemy furnace as a medium.
Qi refiners like to pay attention to this.
Li Liangshen actually doesn't really believe in this, but his current status is very embarrassing. The person who has committed a crime has been reused by the new king, and he has been promised that he will be sent to the front to lead the army when necessary in the future;
At this time, no matter how much he doesn't believe in these things, he must not show it arbitrarily.
He is not Zheng Fan,
Zheng Fan dared to go back and forth to touch Xinjun's nilin, and Xinjun seemed to be used to it.
But if others dare to do this, hehe, is it true that the emperors of the Ji family are all good-tempered masters?
so,
Li Liangshen directly retreated to the front of the Yangxin Palace's army formation, pierced the green brick with a big sword, and stood still.
"Follow the miscellaneous ban and force it to go back!"
Eunuch Wei ordered that all the red-robed eunuchs behind him shot together, with Eunuch Wei as the core, they forcibly cast spells, trying to block the movement space of this pixiu phantom.
The safest way is to press it back, back to that palace, back to that alchemy furnace.
The scene suddenly fell into a stalemate.
The emperor stood there, watching for a long time, and couldn't help feeling a little bored in his heart.
can only say,
Worthy of being the emperor who is most like his father,
He inherited the distrust and rejection of these qi refiners' alchemy from when Emperor Yan was there.
Back then Master Zang tried to threaten Yan's dragon veins by slashing them. At that time, Emperor Yan laughed and urged him to do it quickly. Afterwards, he ordered Yan's army to go south to attack!
And Ji Chengjue lost his mother since he was a child, and under the pressure of his own father, he has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world. In fact, it is really difficult for this kind of people to put any hope in the illusory place, because they often understand a truth. What is in front of you, no, it is in your own hands, it is what you really own.
On Wei Zhonghe's side, the emperor was extremely tired of throwing rats, not daring to use heavy hands, and grinding back and forth.
He was just discussing state affairs with his important ministers, especially when You Pushe said that Marquis Pingxi should be prime minister. Although the emperor would not allow it, he really thought this proposal was very interesting.
In the future, maybe it will be possible.
The one surnamed Zheng is prime minister, Prime Minister Zheng, hehe.
Unfortunately,
Because of this inexplicable thing, I have been here for so long.
If it just snowed suddenly, it would not be a big deal for everyone to come out with warm drinks, talk about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and enjoy the snow, but at this time they can only stand and watch;
In the eyes of the emperor,
It's no different from a group of foolish men and women watching around dancing to the great god.
Son of Heaven,
What I felt was a sense of humiliation.
"Pass down my decree, and order Wei Zhonghe to destroy the beasts that have committed crimes below!"
Chu people regard the spirit of fire and phoenix as gods,
The people of Yan cultivated Pixiu into mounts.
There are some things in the bones that really make a difference.
Regardless of what you are, if you dare to make trouble in front of me, you will bear the wrath of the emperor!
"Your Majesty, no."
"Your Majesty, think twice."
Around him, a group of ministers immediately began to persuade him.
They would rather believe it than believe it. They have all heard the rumors that there is a mythical statue in the imperial palace. Now that they have actually seen it, they are naturally reluctant to let go of this auspicious statue.
It's fine if you don't worship, can An Neng self-destruct?
"Marquis Pingxi."
"The minister is here."
"Preach the decree for me."
"Sir, obey the order."
Lord Zheng Hou stepped forward, took the knife of a guard beside him, walked outside the army formation, and walked to Li Liangshen's side.
shouted:
"Your Majesty has a decree to order Duke Wei to kill this beast without delay!"
Wei Zhonghe hesitated for a while when he heard the words, but in the end he didn't dare to disobey his will, and said:
"Change, strangle!"
The previous blocking turned into a strangulation.
However,
At this moment of change,
Pixiu's figures dispersed again, one turned into two, two turned into four, four turned into eight, and in an instant, countless phantoms of Pixiu split out on the square in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
And in an instant, roaring and crazily rushing towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Eunuch Wei and a group of red-robed eunuchs hurriedly stopped them. This time, they didn't spare much effort. In an instant, most of the phantoms were smashed to pieces.
Li Liangshen raised his sword horizontally in front of him,
Sword Qi burst out,
None of the fish that slipped through the net could get past him.
Lord Zheng Hou also breathed a long sigh of relief silently, and the magic pill on his chest also quieted down.
However,
at this time,
A very strange scene appeared;
Pixiu phantom, as if appearing out of nowhere, passed through the interception of Eunuch Wei and others, bypassed Li Liangshen, and jumped over the guard formation in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation,
direct,
Appeared in front of the emperor.
Some of the ministers around him retreated instinctively when they were frightened, while others instinctively threw themselves at the phantom of Pixiu to protect His Majesty.
And the Son of Heaven,
remain standing,
didn't move.
"Roar!"
Pixiu let out a roar,
It caused many nearby ministers to faint, and it was extremely painful, as if there were piercing sound waves in their ears.
Many of the guards around were forcibly holding on to the pain and preparing to escort them, including Li Liangshen's figure, which had already flashed over.
However,
All those capable of making a move subconsciously stopped at this moment.
Because this phantom of Pixiu is very close to the emperor, and even the tip of its nose is already close to the emperor's body.
Although this is just a phantom and cannot cause substantial damage, it can swallow a person's soul.
If this Pixiu is compared to an assassin, then at this time, the assassin's knife is actually on the emperor's neck.
It's not that the little eunuchs in red, Wei Zhonghe and Li Liangshen, didn't do anything to protect it, it's purely because this is the imperial palace, but it's also the home of this brave.
Wei Zhonghe entered the palace from the palace, and this Pixiu has lived in the palace for many years.
Everyone dared not move.
The phantom of Pixiu seems to be carefully sniffing the scent of the emperor.
Its crimson eyes reveal the luster of thinking and doubt from time to time.
And the emperor, from beginning to end, stood there, without retreating, without fear.
Ji Laoliu could joke around with Zheng Fan, without putting on airs, but in front of his courtiers, in front of these guards, he was the emperor.
He has to maintain the appearance of an emperor.
you,
very much like him,
but,
You are not him.
Pixiu's figure began to fade.
then,
dissipate,
In an instant,
Appeared hundreds of feet away again.
No one cared about it at this time, but swarmed to completely protect the emperor.
The emperor himself was not nervous, but the eunuchs around him were really nervous.
At this time,
Someone exclaimed,
"It went to Fengling Hall!"
Back then, when Ji Laoliu's grandfather was in power, he advocated alchemy. In this palace, he opened a large palace and built a temple of Buddhism and Taoism.
After the first emperor came to the throne, he punished those alchemists, and the Taoist temples left behind served as offices for various ministries after a rest, and the officials' office benefits were improved.
The Hall of Fengling has also been preserved. In the past, the spirit of the emperor's grandfather was parked, and now, the coffin of the late emperor is also parked there.
The ancestral system of Dayan is that the new monarch ascends the throne first and then manages the national funeral. During the funeral, the minister was assassinated by "barbarians", and the new monarch issued an edict to start war against the barbarians.
As soon as the war started, the national funeral continued to be postponed.
Now, the war has just come to an end, and it should be taken for granted that a day should be chosen so that Emperor Daxing's coffin can enter the imperial mausoleum.
But now, isn't it too late, so the coffin is still parked in the Fengling Hall.
The direction that Pixiu's phantom is going is exactly there.
The emperor pushed away the guards around him,
road:
"Don't let that beast disturb the late emperor's rest."
...
Zheng Fan once went to the Imperial Palace of the Qian State. The official family lived in a greenhouse in winter, but they only wore a robe and walked around with their chest bare. The ancestors of the Fan family also had a greenhouse, and it was like spring all the year round.
In the same way, since different layouts and different designs can be used for heating, they can also be cooled naturally.
The Fengling Hall is already more chilly than the outside, and at the same time, it is also blessed with ice cubes.
In addition, there is Leng Yu in the coffin of Emperor Daxing, so the corpse will not rot.
At the gate of Fengling Hall,
There are many guards, called spirit guards.
They saw the phantom of Pixiu, and immediately stepped forward to stop it.
But at the next moment, Pixiu's phantom disappeared again.
immediately,
The phantom of Pixiu appeared in Fengling Hall, and in front of him was the coffin of Emperor Daxing.
found it,
turn out to be,
you are here.
For nearly two hundred years, it has been sleeping at the bottom of the palace.
It has witnessed many emperors, and was called Long Live in this palace;
But only,
Only this one can form an echo with it.
you,
I,
They were all trapped in this palace, suffering boundless pain;
you,
Can feel my existence, can see me, can echo me.
you,
live very hard,
I,
the same.
once,
It once said to the only emperor it has looked up to and respected for two hundred years,
stretch out your hand,
I,
It can prolong your life.
The regent of Chu State actually used this method, so he is confident in himself, can live a long time, can clean up the broken bottles and cans, and start again.
But Emperor Yan chose to leave the palace and went to the back garden.
Every day, I take the elixir that will bring me great pain, squeeze my own potential in order to support myself for a few more days, wait, wait for the two princes to enter the capital.
He was taking the elixir, but he dismissed the real god in the elixir furnace.
the last time,
Not long ago,
Emperor Yan has returned to the palace.
Pixiu called out to him again,
I,
It can give you a longer life, you need it, you desire it, you are hating, hating yourself, there is no holiday!
For a hundred years,
I have looked at the life and death of many generations of emperors with cold eyes,
this is my first time,
genuinely,
Eyes on an emperor.
You are worthy, my presence!
...
And then,
In the royal library,
Emperor Yan dozed off.
Eunuch Wei was beside him, waiting on him carefully.
Emperor Yan is in his sleep,
Suddenly spit out three words,
Let Eunuch Wei's liver tremble with fright.
those three words,
yes:
"Bastard, get out!"

Today, the neighborhood has a power outage for a day, which affects the code words. I will try to have another chapter before 12:00, hold everyone tight!
