Seeking Immortals

Jianwu twenty-five years, late spring.

Emperor Jianwu collapsed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The emperor collapsed suddenly, and the capital was under martial law for a while.

Emperor Jianwu practiced martial arts, and his health was always good. A few days ago, it was said that he could control the eighth concubine at night, but he suddenly passed away.

Gossip in the capital spread wildly.

It is said that a treacherous minister rebelled and murdered Emperor Jianwu, and there will be a coup in the palace.

There is also news that the dog emperor was militant and felicitous, harmed the country and the people, corrupted the government, and was punished by heaven, killing the dog emperor with a divine thunder. When Emperor Shuogou died, there was a thunderbolt in the clear sky in the capital. This is the time when the heaven is dead and the yellow sky is about to stand.

In the nineteen prefectures, the smoke of war was everywhere for a while.

There is even more news that it was a congenital master who couldn't understand what the Dog Emperor herders did, so he entered the palace and assassinated the Dog Emperor.

The news from various sources has its own version, and the rumors are supernatural, and the people are worried about the coming troubled times, but they also applaud the death of Emperor Jianwu at night.

Don't forget to curse: "The dog emperor dies!"

but.

The situation changed unexpectedly, and the chaos in the imperial city quickly calmed down.

On the third day after the death of Emperor Jianwu, the emperor Sun Hao, supported by all officials, ascended the throne and changed his Yuan to Yong'an.

Called Emperor Yong'an.

The eldest grandson of the emperor was young, and he succeeded to the throne at the age of twelve. He was the young emperor.

Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials said: "The sage is young, and the empress dowager is still alive. Please let the empress dowager go out of the palace to take charge of the country."

The sage ordered to pardon the empress to leave the cold palace, called the empress dowager, and the empress dowager would listen to the government behind the curtain.

Twelve years ago, Empress Yan was punished by the first emperor to blind her eyes with poison for causing a palace chaos, and the people called her the blind queen.

The son of Empress Yan, who was originally the prince of the current dynasty, died of depression because of worrying about his mother being poisoned and blinded.

Emperor Yong'an is also the eldest son of the former prince.

this day.

A remote courtyard in the capital.

"The Empress Dowager listens to the government behind the curtain. Why is this plot so familiar?"

Hearing the news from the palace, Li Qing seemed to have returned to the beginning of time travel.

At that time, Emperor Taikang was in power, and the Empress Dowager also assumed power.

"The queen is a good queen, so she shouldn't mess around."

"I didn't expect that I would survive two emperors in my two lifetimes. Maybe I can survive two emperors in this lifetime. Longevity is really good."

Unfortunately, women are fickle.

After listening to the government for only three days, he issued a decree to enlist 100,000 people from all over the country to build the emperor's mausoleum for Emperor Jianwu, completely ignoring the trend of wars.

Three months later.

"Master, what you say is really a poisonous woman. Let alone conscripting 100,000 people to build the emperor's mausoleum, after the completion of the construction, you will have 100,000 people be buried as a sacrifice."

"This kind of behavior is not much more convincing than the dog emperor. What is she trying to do? Back then, she was widely rumored to be wise, and secretly met with all officials to overthrow the dog emperor's tyranny, but now she is doing such an outrageous act for the dead dog emperor."

That night, Baili Flying Eagle ran into Li Qing's yard cursing, his face full of anger.

Li Qingzheng comprehended the first understanding of the Dao of Formation, and couldn't help being stunned when he heard it: "A hundred thousand people are being buried? Where did you get the news?"

Baili Flying Eagle took a big sip of tea, panted and said, "Three months ago, my junior sister beat up the son of Wang Shangshu of the official department. Now Wang Shangshu has been promoted to prime minister, and his power has greatly increased. The boy Wang is looking for a master again." Junior sister took revenge, but this disciple was so angry that he planned to sneak into the prime minister's residence at night and beat him up."

"I didn't expect to meet Wang Xiang with a person. During the meeting, he talked about the burial of hundreds of thousands of people. The disciple dared not stay for a long time, so I came here to tell the master."

One hundred thousand people were buried?

Li Qing's face became serious, there is no custom of burial in the Dagan Kingdom, so why did the first burial use the number of 100,000 people.

Something is wrong!

Li Qing would not pay attention to the burial of a dozen or so people. This is a hundred thousand people...

Something is wrong with the words!

Emperor Jianwu also died strangely!

"Then where is Zhenbei Wang Weinu recently?" Li Qing asked again.

"The king of Zhenbei and the queen of Yan, for three months, the king of Zhenbei sent a hundred victorious divisions to attack everywhere, and they have suppressed the rebels everywhere. The king of Zhenbei is not dead, and the Dagan Kingdom has not yet fallen."

Baili Feiying said: "The king of Zhenbei is guarding the mausoleum of Emperor Jianwu all the time. The burial of 100,000 people will also be carried out by the king of Zhenbei."

Li Qing frowned deeply and said after a long time: "Looks like I have to go back to Leng Palace."

Three months ago, Li Qing planned to go back to the palace, but Emperor Jianwu suddenly collapsed, and the palace was full of chaos, so it was really not a chance to go back to the palace.

Now it's time to go back.

Before his death, Emperor Jianwu ordered the guards to conquer other countries to find their spiritual roots, in order to seek immortality.

Because Emperor Jianwu was dead, Li Qing originally thought that the guards would not be reaped.

Now it seems, but not necessarily.

The burial of one hundred thousand people is very similar to the evil law of the immortal way. The guards may not have the spiritual roots to help Emperor Wu enter the innate world, but they probably found a trace of the inheritance of the immortal way, and even touched the world of cultivating immortals.

The death of Emperor Jianwu may not have been a sudden death, but a proactive attempt to die.

Did Emperor Jianwu want to live from death?

Li Qing couldn't help but think of Wei Yang back then, he got the help of Linggen, and Wei Yang's body had not rotted for eight years.

In case Emperor Jianwu was resurrected as a powerful evil, Yu Li Qing didn't know whether it would be a blessing or a curse.

Li Qing knew Wei Nu well, and Wei Nu could be said to be a diehard loyalist to Emperor Jianwu, without personal emotions, purely considering the interests of Emperor Jianwu.

There must be a ghost in the death of Emperor Jianwu.

"How's your Qinggong practice recently?" Putting away his thoughts, Li Qing changed the subject.

"After learning the Feihong taught by the master, no one under the innate ability can catch up with the disciple. After the disciple's cultivation level rises, even the innate, the disciple will not be afraid." Baili Feiying is quite confident.

Li Qing had already understood the Feihong technique and learned this fairy art.

The Feihong technique can make his body feel like a feather, but he can stand in emptiness. He is only limited by the magic power of his cultivation, and it cannot last for a long time.

With the help of Feihong Technique, Li Qing's lightness kung fu and body skills are beyond the reach of ordinary innate skills.

Baili Flying Eagle is not a Qi-refining monk, so he cannot practice the complete Feihong technique. What Li Qing gave was an improved version. Based on his decades of experience in martial arts, it is more than enough to improve a light kung fu.

Li Qing didn't take Baili Flying Eagle as his apprentice, so he can call him whatever he wants.

"One way of practice is to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. You should be cautious in your words and deeds, and don't be arrogant. You don't need to force yourself to be a hero. You just need to hide from him for a while, and the other party may not be chasing you. You don't have to worry about the funeral. You are not allowed to enter the prime minister's mansion again," Li Qing warned.

"Understood." Baili Flying Eagle nodded, but a little indifferently.

Li Qing didn't care about Baili Flying Eagle's attitude either, if Baili Flying Eagle was really stable, Li Qing would take him as his disciple, but he was too free and easy to be compatible with Li Qing's Taoism.

Early the next morning, Li Qing dragged Ling Jiao into the imperial city.

...

Leng Gong.

Still that familiar smell.

With Li Qing's current cultivation level, it doesn't matter if Leng Gong comes or not, but Li Qing still wants to come and see.

Before entering the Leng Palace, Li Qing went to the House of Internal Affairs. Twelve years later, his name was still on the list of the Leng Palace and had not been crossed out.

Apparently, the Ministry of Internal Affairs knew of his status as a master of the internal affairs.

"Little...Little Lizi! You are Xiao Lizi!" A eunuch who was on duty in Lenggong walked out, and after seeing Li Qing, he said in disbelief, "You're not dead!"

"Master Zheng, you're still alive." Li Qing smiled back. The acquaintance was Zheng Chun, who was in his early forties.

The other eunuchs on duty ran out, and those who recognized Li Qing immediately called Master Li, and those who didn't, after a little hesitation, also called Master Li.

A piece of peace.

There was even a concubine holding a chess piece in her hand, and also ran out from the duty room, surprised: "Xiao Lizi, you are really alive!"

"Hello, Ma Guiren." Li Qingle said, twelve years later, Ma Guiren is still alive, it is really not easy.

Ma Guiren is a princess of the Khanate of the Grassland, with a free and easy nature and no good manners. Li Qing once taught her to play Go to relieve boredom, and also learned from her mouth that the grassland generals who are gifted with spiritual roots are called Tiandingshen.
