Liaozhai Great Sage

I didn't expect that Mr. Li was so forthright. Going to Ruyifang for a drink is not worth dozens of taels of silver, and staying there for the night is also a very face-saving thing. Compared with the Dongzhu in hand Much stronger.

"You don't have to be polite. You two are willing to accommodate me. I should thank you both." Li Xiuyuan said.

The two imperial guards temporarily lent Li Xiuyuan a waist badge, so as not to be stopped when they meet other imperial guards. If they show this badge, other imperial guards will let them go. This is an unwritten rule.

The forbidden army all rely on this method to gain benefits from each other.

"I heard that Emperor Daojun's temple is also in the harem. I don't know where it is? Can you take me to see it?" Li Xiuyuan said.

When he entered the harem, it was naturally impossible for him to spend such a lot of trouble on the disappearance of that woman. His purpose was still for the book of life and death.

"Are you going to visit the Daojun Temple?" the little eunuch asked in surprise.

"Since you're here, why don't you go and have a look." Li Xiuyuan said, "I'm quite interested."

The little eunuch thought it would be easy, so he agreed and led Li Xiuyuan to the Daojun Temple in the harem.

Daojun Temple was built by Emperor Daojun during his lifetime. Because Emperor Daojun was obsessed with cultivation, he ignored the government all day long and hid in the harem to build a Taoist temple, meditating and practicing. After Emperor Daojun passed away, it was enshrined here The statue of Emperor Daojun was changed to Daojun Temple, and the officials would bring all the civil and military officials to worship several times every year.

As for weekdays, only the eunuchs who clean up, and the Imperial Army patrols will not come here.

After coming to this garden, it is indeed very quiet, with rockery and flowing water, lush green bamboos, and an inconspicuous small temple stands there in the center, with a faint scent of incense wafting over.

"My father-in-law, you wait here for a while, and I will come out after visiting the Daojun Temple." Li Xiuyuan said.

"Don't worry, my lord, there are few people here on weekdays. My lord just needs to be careful not to miss the time." The little eunuch said.

Li Xiuyuan walked towards Daojun Temple without hesitation at this moment.

He looked around, there was indeed no one there, and the palace was also haunted by ghosts and gods, even if spells could not be cast, there was nothing to worry about.

Daojun Temple.

An exquisite and luxurious Taoist temple is presented in front of you.

This Taoist temple has been around for some years, at least several decades have passed, even the temples built by the best craftsmen are now mottled and mottled, with an old feeling.

The temple is not big.

As soon as I entered, I saw a statue of a god sitting in the main hall. This statue looked like a Taoist emperor, only wearing a Taoist robe, holding a whisk, and dressed like a Taoist.

And in the other hand of the god statue, a simple and simple book was just placed there. The book was covered by a layer of black smoke, and mortals could not see it at all.

"Sure enough, the book of life and death is here." Li Xiuyuan's eyes lit up and he was about to fetch it.

But what he didn't expect was that there was a sudden movement behind the statue, which made him stop and immediately became vigilant.

"Master Li, are you still here to collect the book of life and death?"

An old man who looked like a monk and said kindly came out slowly.

"National teacher, are you actually here?" Li Xiuyuan frowned: "So...is this a trap?"

The national teacher said with a smile: "Master Li already knew it in his heart, didn't he? The Book of Life and Death is placed in the Daojun Temple of the Imperial Palace Harem. No matter what, Master Li will come to pick it up. Master Li is really fast and resolute in his work. He will come as soon as the meeting is over." The harem has taken the book of life and death."

"Does the national teacher want to kill me in the palace?" Li Xiuyuan put one hand on the jade sword at his waist, and then stared at him calmly.

The jade sword was not the one bestowed by the imperial court, but a disguise of his Tai'a sword.

It is a magic weapon that can kill people.

"Master Li is just joking. To kill a master like Master Li, you have to dispatch at least three teams of halberd warriors and mobilize one or two hundred imperial troops. And this is still under the circumstances that Master Li's strength is limited to this. Although the palace's luck Suppression, the god of thunder in the sky and the ghosts and gods in the four directions cannot support, but I don't think such means can deal with Master Li."

The national teacher put his hands together and said with a smile on his face: "The book of life and death is here, please take it away, Mr. Li."

"The words of the national teacher can be hidden from others, can it be hidden from me?" Li Xiuyuan said at this moment: "I have heard the sound of weapons shaking, the heavy footsteps of soldiers coming... the martial arts have been cultivated to the point where I am Realm, some abilities are no different from people who practice Taoism, although I have not entered Taoism, but I still have some ability to perceive danger."

"Assembling halberd bearers and forbidden troops in the imperial palace to besiege and kill a court minister, is it possible that the national teacher's ability can cover the sky with one hand in the imperial palace?"

"It depends on whether Mr. Li will take the book of life and death." The national teacher said.

"It seems that Shihu has already persuaded the Wutong Sect to take refuge in you yesterday, otherwise it would be impossible to know the news of the book of life and death in Daojun Temple. This is a bait for me, but I just want to know about Shihu's book of life and death In my hands, who does this Book of Life and Death originally belong to?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"Who owns this book of life and death does it matter at this moment?"

The national teacher said: "Thanks to Mr. Li's help during this period, most of the officials above the court are under my control. They have impeached Mr. Li too many times. Every time they impeach, they will reduce their blessings." Lu, so that I have an opportunity to take advantage of. Now Du Ze from the Ministry of Punishment, Zhang Yuan from the Ministry of Officials, the commander of the imperial army, and several empresses in the palace are all under my control. Good luck with Fu Tianchou of the Ministry of War, this court is about to change hands."

Chapter 748 The Empress of the Harem

This is a big trap.

Shihu used himself as a bait to ask Li Xiuyuan to lead troops to encircle and suppress Ruyifang, and because of the encirclement and suppression of Ruyifang, he got the news of the book of life and death and Yan Jun from Liu Ruyan.

Then use this news to lure Li Xiuyuan into the imperial palace and harem, and use the opportunity of taking the book of life and death to make another move.

The plan is not clever, but it is more subtle, because all the calculations leave no trace, it seems that Li Xiuyuan followed the clues and walked into this trap step by step. Inside, there is no calculation by either party, only Shi Hu showed his face during the period, and his death was unknown.

"Yesterday, Shihu killed people and made trouble, not to let the officials impeach me to lose my official position, but to take this opportunity to force me to participate in the court meeting, and because of the news of the book of life and death at night, this Shihu is sure that I will definitely want to go to the harem after attending the court meeting. But the disappearance of that girl...is just an inducement, before I wondered why all the beautiful girls were safe and sound, but the one I had a relationship with had an accident?"

"The little eunuch outside probably doesn't know about this plan, he is also a pawn kept in the dark."

Li Xiuyuan's expression was as usual, thinking carefully, all the plans must be arranged by people who are very familiar with him.

He was sure that this must be Shi Hu's arrangement.

After mobilizing so much power and making so many sacrifices, Shi Hu finally caught a loophole.

just.

Li Xiuyuan suddenly showed a smile; "How can the national teacher have the confidence to kill me in the palace?"

He was not afraid, but just strode towards the statue of Daojun.

The national teacher still had a smile on his face, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, he took a few steps back and said, "Is Mr. Li going to take the book of life and death?"

"Of course, the book of life and death is necessary for me to become enlightened." Li Xiuyuan said, he had already stepped on the altar while speaking, reached out and grabbed it, and took off the book of life and death very smoothly.

Looking at it, there is no doubt about it.

As a result, these people are still willing to spend their capital, and now the world's life and death book has chosen six.

The remaining three are lost outside.

"Thank you, the national teacher. Without the help of the national teacher, I don't know when I will find the book of life and death in the world." Li Xiuyuan said: "In return, why not send the national teacher on the road today?"

After speaking, he pulled out the Tai'a sword at his waist.

"Having murdered so many court officials, the evil deeds of the national teacher have been fully exposed. I said that the national teacher's life will be killed within a month. The national teacher's willingness to show up alone today may not necessarily give me a chance." Li Xiuyuan said: "So what if you really found an opportunity, in the end it's just your own means."
