Seeking Immortals

"Twelve years ago, including me, there should have been five innate masters in the Dagan court. Now that Rongku is dead, King Zhenbei is guarding the imperial tomb, and there is one more?"

After worshiping Rongku, Li Qing and Ran Bing returned to the Martial Pavilion together, and mentioned the confusion in his heart.

Ling Jiao had already performed the apprenticeship ceremony at Rongku's grave, and Li Qing had fulfilled his promise back then.

"Dead, died suddenly in the army in the 22nd year of Jianwu." Ran Bing shook his head.

He died, or died suddenly.

Li Qing was puzzled: "The death of the Xiantian Grandmaster must not be simple."

"I don't know," Ran Bing sighed, "In the army formation, although the Xiantian Grandmaster is hard to die, there is also a life-and-death crisis. The King of Zhenbei and the late Emperor both said that he died suddenly, so he died suddenly. .”

"What is the explanation for the construction of the emperor's tomb by the hundred thousand people?" Li Qing said again: "Empress Yan and the late emperor did not deal with each other, so why should they build such an imperial tomb for her in a turbulent world? As far as I know , The Mausoleum of the First Emperor has been built a long time ago, so why abandon it.”

"I know something about this."

Ran Bing said: "About the matter of the imperial mausoleum, King Zhenbei's guards are in the lead. King Zhenbei was very loyal to the first emperor, and his words were only in response to King Zhenbei's request, and by doing so, King Zhenbei promised to protect him forever. Forever."

"What about the burial of hundreds of thousands of people in the imperial mausoleum?" Li Qing continued.

"One hundred thousand people were buried?" Ran Bing was startled, "Is there such a saying?"

Knowing that Ran Bing didn't know about the burial, Li Qing explained in detail what Baili Feiying had heard.

After hearing this, Ran Bing immediately became serious.

"This is not right!"

"There is no system of burial in Dagan, let alone a hundred thousand people, I will not agree to this matter!" Ran Bing said forcefully.

"I will ask King Zhenbei personally what he wants to do!"

Ran Bing's face was full of anger, he protected the dynasty all his life, and he did such a rebellious and outrageous act, it's not quite a slap in the face.

Once hundreds of thousands of people are really buried, he will also have a share of his guilt.

"No, I have to go to the imperial mausoleum to meet King Zhenbei!" Ran Bing wanted to leave after saying that.

"Do you need me to go with you?" Li Qing asked.

"No, the king of Zhenbei doesn't know that you, the innate master, exist, so guard against him first, and let me see what he wants to do."

Ran Bing said solemnly: "The Sutra of Washing the Lotus has proved the real existence of the immortal way. As expected, King Zhenbei's many years of battle may have touched the inheritance of the immortal way, and it is an evil method of the immortal way. I want to find out first!"

"Then be careful, once you tear your face..." Li Qing worried.

"Heh, although I'm old, I'm more experienced than I am, but King Zhenbei is in his fifties, and he's not young. If there's a real fight, he can't help me. Let's go. Listen to my news afterwards."

After finishing speaking, Ran Bing stepped out of the Martial Pavilion, stepped on the wall and flew away.

Li Qing thought for a while, originally planned to put Ling Jiao in Wu Pavilion to practice, why not bring her back to the Leng Palace.

The situation is not quite right now, within the imperial palace, the cold palace is the most stable.

at the same time.

Li Qing also passed on the token of the dragon pattern that Wei Yang had passed to him, and passed it to Ling Jiao.

The dragon token can be passed on for three generations, Li Qing, Li Ruoshui, Ling Jiao, exactly three generations.

He took out the roster of masters in the Wu Pavilion, crossed out Li Ruoshui's name, and wrote Ling Jiao's name.

Now that Li Qing's cultivation base doesn't need a dragon token, he has Feihong Technique to help him. He can go to the harem whenever he wants, and watch the concubine dance whenever he wants.

As for taking a shower...forget it.

"Remember, from now on you will be eunuch Ling Jiao."

"No, I want to be a court lady!"

"You are the eunuch."

"I am a court lady."

"You are the eunuch."

"..."

Under Li Qing's brainwashing for a while, Ling Jiao could only accept the status of eunuch, and Li Qing couldn't help but think of a joke: "I am a girl Jiao'e, not a man."

Back in the cold palace, just in time for dinner.

Li Qing re-introduced: "This is Ling Jiao, the eunuch. She has another status in the palace. From now on, she will live in the cold palace and live in a single room. Please take care of her."

"It's easy to talk about." The Lenggong eunuch didn't fight or grab, and was the most comfortable to get along with, so he readily accepted.

"What are the recent regulations of the Leng Palace?" During the meal, Li Qing asked.

Zheng Chun said: "There are no regulations. The sage is young and does not accept concubines. The concubines in the Leng Palace are all old people in the Jianwu period. The only thing we need to pay attention to is Empress Yueling, who was thrown into the Leng Palace three months ago."

"But there is no need to take special care of Empress Yueling, she will never have a chance to get out of the cold palace."

Empress Yueling, the former princess of the Yue Kingdom, was conquered by King Zhenbei in the 10th year of Jianwu and proclaimed herself a vassal to Daqian. After Princess Yueling went to Beijing, Emperor Jianwu dismissed the queen and made Princess Yueling her queen.

The feng shui took turns, and now that the empress is in charge, Empress Yueling will naturally be thrown into the cold palace, and the affairs of the harem are nothing more than that.

Li Qing has long been calm.

However, Empress Yueling is in the cold palace, and Li Qing just happened to meet her.

After the eunuch finished eating, Li Qing carried the rice bucket and came to the Wushen Wing where Empress Yueling lived.

"You are?" Queen Yueling frowned, obviously she had never met Li Qing.

"Li Ruoshui." Li Qing replied.

"You are actually Li Ruoshui, the great priest who spent twelve years chasing after the main altar of the White Lotus Sect!" Empress Yueling was surprised, she had obviously heard of Li Ruoshui's name.

"good."

Li Qing nodded and said: "I came here today to know about the sudden death of the late emperor. If the empress knows, I hope I can tell the truth."

Empress Yueling opened the rice bucket, ate casually, and said indifferently: "I do know some inside information, so why should I tell you?"

"I can let the empress feign death and get out of the palace." Li Qing made a condition.

"You?" Queen Moon Spirit obviously didn't believe it.

As soon as Li Qing pointed it out, a Qi sword broke the stone slab in an instant, and then said: "How?"

"Grandmaster Xiantian!" Empress Yueling was shocked: "You are actually a Grandmaster Xiantian, and you really hide it so deeply that even the Emperor Xiantian was deceived by you!"

"You can talk now." Li Qing said calmly.

"Grandmaster Xiantian speaks, and I have nothing to do with it."

Empress Yueling put down the bowls and chopsticks, and said comfortably: "The late emperor didn't die suddenly, he committed suicide, and it's not considered suicide. The late emperor didn't really die."

"Half a year ago, the king of Zhenbei returned from his southern expedition and brought back a secret method of the immortal way, which can allow people to cultivate a corpse and bring them back to life. Those without spiritual roots can also use this to step into the immortal way."

"The first emperor was obsessed with the way of immortality, and when he found out, he really gave up his life and turned to the way of cultivating corpses."

After Li Qing heard this, he really thought so.

What a dog emperor, he actually used the lives of all the people to help himself into a corpse!

"Your Majesty, do you know the secret method of the corpse path, and whether King Zhenbei has come into contact with the world of cultivating immortals?" Li Qing asked.

If King Zhenbei had already contacted the Immortal Cultivation Realm and gained the backing of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, Li Qing would naturally go first. It is not suitable to stay in the capital for a long time. Although he did not want to see the burial of one hundred thousand people, he would not recklessly stop it.

"Of course not," Empress Yueling sneered, "If the late emperor could get in touch with immortal cultivators, he wouldn't have practiced evil ways and crooked methods, and he would have spent all his power in exchange for his spiritual roots."

"As far as I know, King Zhenbei dug up a living corpse in a cemetery. In order to subdue the living corpse, a congenital master died."

"After the living corpse was subdued, the King of Zhenbei found the secret method of the dead body on the living corpse. Most of the people who knew about it were slaughtered by the King of Zhenbei. Fortunately, the palace planted eyeliner next to the King of Zhenbei, so I didn't know about it until later. Otherwise, the late emperor would not have tolerated this palace long ago."

Everything fits right.

The innate master in the army did not die violently, but died at the hands of living corpses.

"What happened to the living corpse afterwards?" Li Qing asked again.

"I don't know, maybe it's not necessarily cremated."

"Okay, I understand this matter, your empress just wait, when the time is up, I will help you get out of the palace."
