Seeking Immortals

  Chapter 33 Burial of a Hundred Thousand

  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 has always been good. A few days ago, it was said that he was able to guard 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 the palace will be subject to a coup.

   There is also news that the dog emperor was militant and successful, 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.

  Nineteen prefectures have been deployed, and the smoke of war is 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 is so dead!"

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 name 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 is the young emperor.

   Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials played: "The Holy One 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."

  Shang Zhunzao issued a decree to pardon the empress to leave the cold palace, calling her the empress dowager, and the empress dowager will listen to the government behind the curtain.

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

  The son of Queen Yan, who was originally the prince of the 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.

  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 took 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 great."

   Unfortunately, women are fickle.

  After listening to the government for only three days, he issued a decree to recruit 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 100,000 people are recruited to build the emperor's mausoleum, and after the completion of the construction, 100,000 people are forced to be buried."

   "This kind of behavior is not much more than that of the dog emperor. What is she trying to do? Back then, it was widely rumored that she was wise and secretly conspired with all officials to overthrow the dog emperor's tyranny. 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 this 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 the king and meet with one person. During the meeting, I talked about the burial of hundreds of thousands of people. The disciple dared not stay for a long time, so I came to tell the master."

   Hundreds of thousands of people were buried?

  Li Qing's face became serious. There is no custom of burial in the Dagan Kingdom, so why did the number of 100,000 people be used for the first burial?

   Something is wrong!

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

   Something is wrong with the words!

  Emperor Jianwu also died strangely!

   "Where is Wei Nu, the northern king of the town?" Li Qing asked again.

   "The King of Zhenbei and the Queen Yan, for the past three months, the King of Zhenbei has sent troops of hundreds of victories to attack everywhere, and they have suppressed the rebels from all over the place.

  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: "It seems that I have to go back to the cold palace."

  Three months ago, Li Qing planned to return to the palace, but Emperor Jianwu suddenly collapsed, and the palace was full of chaos, so it was really not an opportunity to return to the palace.

   Now I have to go back.

  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 obtained the spiritual root to help Emperor Wu enter the innate world, but they have probably found a trace of the inheritance of the immortal way, and may have even touched the world of cultivating immortals.

  Emperor Jianwu's death may not have been a sudden death, but an active suicide attempt.

  Emperor Jianwu wanted to live from death?

  Li Qing couldn't help but think of Wei Yang back then, with the help of his spiritual roots, Wei Yang's body had not rotted for eight years.

  If Emperor Jianwu is resurrected as a powerful evil, Yu Li Qing doesn't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse.

  Li Qing knew about the guards. The guards could be said to be loyal to Emperor Jianwu. They had no personal emotions and only considered the interests of Emperor Jianwu.

  Emperor Jianwu died, there must be a ghost.

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

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

  Li Qing has already deciphered the Feihong technique and learned this fairy gate spell.

   Feihong Technique can make him feel like a feather, but he can stand in emptiness. He is only limited by the mana 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 disciple, so he could call him whatever he wanted.

"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. And 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 really had a steady appearance, it would be fine for Li Qing to accept him as his disciple, but he was too free and easy to blend with Li Qing's Taoism.

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

  …

   Leng Gong.

   Still the familiar taste.

  With Li Qing's current cultivation level, it doesn't matter whether the 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 is still on the list of the Leng Palace and has not been crossed out.

  Obviously, the Ministry of Internal Affairs knew of his status as a master in the inner circle.

   "Little...Little Lizi! You are Xiao Lizi!" A **** walked out of the Lenggong duty room, and after seeing Li Qing, he couldn't believe it and said, "You're not dead!"

   "Master Zheng, you are still alive." Li Qing smiled back, the acquaintance was Zheng Chun, in his early forties.

  The other eunuchs in the duty room ran out, and those who recognized Li Qing immediately called Master Li, and those who didn't, hesitated for a while and also called Master Li.

  A piece of peace.

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

   "How are you, Ma Guiren." Li Qing said happily, it was really not easy for Ma Guiren to be alive after twelve years.

   Ma Guiren is the 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.
