From eunuch to emperor

When Liang Yao returned to Raging Fire Temple, Xiao Daotong immediately scooped up a large bowl of water.

There are no springs on the island, and the drinking water is all stored in the rain.

Liang Yao drank a large bowl, helped the old Taoist into the room and sat down.

"Master, just as you worried, something happened in the Central Plains."

Liang Yao sat down and said worriedly.

The old Taoist asked: "What happened? Tell me carefully."

Liang Yao said: "When I arrived in Jinling, I heard that King Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty is Long Chen, the fifth son of Long Ye, and he is not dead."

Hearing that the Long family still had descendants, the old Taoist was both surprised and delighted, and asked, "And then?"

Liang Yao handed the water bowl to Xiaodaotong, and said, "He went to Shengxue Peak last year and met Wu Sheng's daughter, who is the suzerain of the Longevity Sect."

"It is said that Long Chen killed Yin Ling, and there are four people who survived with him."

"There is another very important piece of news. Long Chen said that he saw a ghost fetus, which is the son of Wu Sheng and Ghost Girl."

When the old Taoist heard his pupils dilate, he asked in surprise, "Wu Sheng and Gui Nu have a son?"

In the story of Raging Fire Temple, it was never said that Wu Sheng and Gui Nu had a son. This news shocked the old Taoist priest.

Liang Yao nodded and said: "I don't believe it. It happened that Long Chen and Li Chengdao fought in Linjiang City. This disciple planned to go to Linjiang City, but Li Chengdao returned to Jinling City before the trip could take place."

"There is another person who went back to the city with Li Chengdao, and he is a ghost. His followers don't look like human beings."

"The worst thing is that Li Chengdao heard that the ghost is the master, and Daliang has been controlled by the ghost."

Before going to the Central Plains to inquire about the news, the old Taoist told about the affairs of Qianjiang County. Liang Yao compared the old Taoist's words with the news he had heard, and immediately judged that the entourage of the ghost was not a human being.

The matter was urgent, Liang Yao did not go to Linjiang City, but went directly to Lihuo Island to report the news, and asked the old Taoist priest to decide what to do next.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Liang Yao was very anxious.

The old Taoist looked at the businessmen and fishermen who were busy digging stones outside, and said, "It really is coming. It has been 400 years, and it is finally here."

Liang Yao said: "Master, is there really a ghost clan? Is the Long family really the Son of Destiny?"

The old Taoist sighed and said: "In fact, the Long family could rule the world back then, but the Long family did not."

"Speaking of which, our ancestor was also named Long."

Liang Yao asked in surprise, "The patriarch's surname is also Long?"

The old Taoist priest never said anything about it, and Liang Yao didn't know about it.

The old Taoist nodded and said: "Our Patriarch Lie Huo Guan is the third son of Long Yuan. He was ordered to establish a Taoist temple here to protect Lihuo Island."

"At the same time, there is also a mission left behind."

Taoist Liang Yao asked, "Mission? What mission?"

The old Taoist said: "If the ghost clan recovers again, we will go to the Long family and let Emperor Liang unite with Eastern Zhou and Xixia to resist the ghost clan."

"When my teacher discovered the ghost clan in Qianjiang County, the Long family had already been wiped out, and Li Chengdao refused to see me."

"In desperation, I returned to Lihuo Island as a teacher and waited for news."

"I didn't expect the ghost clan to really come. Fortunately, the Long family still has descendants. If the Long family has no descendants, I really don't know what to do."

If Long Ye is still there, the old Taoist will go to Long's house to report the letter first, and then meet Li Chengdao with Long Ye.

It's a pity that when Long Ye died in Bailang Mountain, the old Taoist didn't know that Long Chengen was Long Chen.

Li Chengdao thought he was a crazy Taoist priest, and he didn't see anyone at all.

Helpless, the old Taoist returned to Lihuo Island, hoping that the ghost clan would not appear.

Today, ghosts still appear.

Fortunately, the Long family still has descendants.

Unfortunately, Li Chengdao turned to the ghost clan, and the ghost fetus became the master of Daliang.

The development of the matter did not go according to Long Yuan's original idea, and Li Chengdao, who was supposed to be the main force, rebelled.

The royal family of the Long family and the Li family became endless enemies.

It is difficult for the gods to predict what will happen after the death, and no one knows what will happen to the younger generation.

"Master, there is one more thing. Soldiers from Daliang are rushing here. They want to block Lihuo Island."

On the way back, Liang Yao met soldiers on horseback.

After learning that these soldiers were going to block Lihuo Island, Liang Yao ran back desperately, and finally returned to Raging Fire Temple in front of the soldiers.

Xiao Daotong said puzzledly: "Block Lihuo Island? Without us, how would they deal with the ghost clan?"

Liang Yao ignored the little Taoist priest, he was still young and didn't know the conflicts of interests between people.

The old Taoist frowned, and immediately got up and went back to the main hall.

In the main hall there is a statue of Poseidon, which is a statue of a female body, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, wearing brocade clothes.

The old Taoist moved the Poseidon statue away, took out a dagger, and pried the wall with great effort.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Xiao Daotong looked at the old Taoist curiously, and Liang Yao had guessed in his heart that there were hidden compartments on the wall.

After prying for a long time, I finally dug out a hidden compartment with a gold box inside.

"Wow, master hid gold."

Xiao Daotong was very happy to see the golden box. This box is quite big, and it is very valuable at first glance.

The old Taoist carefully put away the gold box, and said, "Pack up your things and leave immediately!"

Liang Yao asked: "Master, where are you going?"

The old Taoist sighed slightly, and said, "Linjiang City, go find the descendants of the Long family!"

Xiao Daotong was a little bit reluctant, and said, "Master, it's fine here, why are you leaving?"

The old Taoist looked up at Raging Fire Temple and sighed, "400 years... hey... let's go!"

At the critical moment, the old Taoist was very resolute.

Liang Yao packed his things immediately, and soon, the three of them went out with their bags on their backs.

Standing at the entrance of the Taoist temple, the three of them saluted the Taoist temple, then turned and walked towards the boat on the coast.

The fisherman who was digging stones saw the three of them and asked, "Master Xuanzhen, are you going to travel?"

The Taoist name of this old Taoist is Xuanzhen, and the fishermen around him call him Taoist Xuanzhen.

The old Taoist laughed and said, "Yes, let's go out and wander around."

The fisherman asked with a smile: "Liang Yao has just come back, and now he is going to travel again. Did he see some good place and want to build another ashram?"

Taoist Xuanzhen said with a smile: "No, it's just going out for a wandering."

"Be careful when digging stones. I heard that the court forbids digging."

The fisherman was surprised: "It's just some stones, why not let them dig? No one has been caring for hundreds of years, why is someone caring again?"

Stones from Lihuo Island have always been things that no one wants.

Usually, Liehuo Temple will deceive fishermen, saying that the stones here have the effect of exorcising demons, and encourage everyone to take them home.

People who come to Agni Temple to worship the gods will also give stones as gifts.

This is the tradition of Agni View, and I hope more people will get the magic stone.

But because of this, everyone despises it, thinking that this thing is worthless, and it is a very cheap stone.

That is to say, it was only recently that someone bought it and it became valuable, so it started mining.

It hasn't been long since the excavation, and it is said that the court will not allow it to be dug.

A businessman next to him said helplessly: "Brother is at sea and doesn't know the situation. The court is like this. Whatever makes money, the court will do whatever it takes. The princes and nobles like to compete with the people for profit."

"If something is worthless, the court doesn't care about it, and officials don't want it; once it is valuable, court officials flock to it, and either it is owned by the court or it is monopolized by the court."

"In the end, the emperor and officials made a lot of money. We assholes can only watch from a distance. Anyone who dares to get involved will be killed!"

The fisherman cursed helplessly: "What kind of bullshit imperial court!"

The old Taoist chuckled, he is an outsider, so it is not easy to talk about the good or bad of the court.

Liang Yao reminded: "Everyone, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are coming soon, everyone hurry up!"
