It is said that the people I protect are admired by the Six Realms

Bai Moqian sighed when he heard that, Gongsun Ce rescued the injured Yang Chong in order to repay his kindness, and before he had time to ask about the Gobi sandstorm, Yang Chong left in a hurry because he was thinking about crossing the catastrophe, Gongsun Ce had no choice but to put it aside temporarily , Lead the army back to Beijing.Chang'an Qiushou ran into a big eagle by chance, but before he could speak to stop him, the big eagle was shot and died.Yang Chong succeeded in crossing the catastrophe, and it has been a hundred years since he descended from the mountain. The general in his memory has already been buried in the ground, and he has become a tomb keeper without a complete body.

Things are different, the world is unpredictable, going round and round, a kindness was put on hold for more than 300 years before it was repaid. After the dust settled, they suddenly discovered that all of this could not escape the word "absurd" in the end.

The warmth from the fingertips penetrated directly into his heart, Bai Moqian lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on the red line of his little finger, and he sighed almost inaudibly, "Fortunately, fortunately, senior brother, you are still by my side."

Li Shao pursed his lips and smiled, he let go of Bai Moqian's hand, stood up and walked forward slowly, "Now is not the time to be in love."

Hearing this, Bai Moqian slapped his forehead, quickly stood up and followed up and said, "Once they interrupted me, I forgot what we were going to do when we went to the grave. I was so confused."

Li Shao bent his brows and smiled slightly. He bent down and cleared away the ice covering the unicorn, then reached into its mouth, took out a black and gold bead.

It is not accurate to say that the black-gold beads are, because the black-gold luster comes from the innermost inner alchemy that is as big as a fingernail. The inner alchemy is wrapped with three or four layers of ice crystals, and the whole bead has the mouth of a bowl. The size, the outermost ice crystals are carved with strange lines, which look like some kind of spell.

Bai Moqian stared at the bead for a long time, his eyes were blurred, but he didn't see what it was, so he rubbed his eyes and asked, "Brother, where did this bead come from?"

"Qilin Yin." Li Shao said.

"What?" Bai Moqian's eyebrows jumped slightly, he remembered that Li Shao mentioned this thing to the innkeeper when he was in the ear room.

Li Shao's fingertips ignited a ball of flames, and the ice crystals wrapped around the inner alchemy slowly melted. He glanced at Bai Moqian and explained: "Back then, King Wen of Chu killed many innocent people for Lord Zhao Wen. When ascending, he congealed an inner alchemy with his heart's blood, sealed it in a bronze unicorn, and buried it in Changbai Snow Mountain to suppress these wronged souls, and as time went by, practitioners called this thing 'Qilin Yin'."

Bai Moqian narrowed his eyes and said in doubt: "According to you, the glacier waterfall inlaid with unicorns existed long before the imperial tomb was built, so why is Gongsun Ce's head sealed inside it?"

Li Shao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Which eye of yours saw Gongsun Ce's head fall out of the Qilin's mouth?"

These words were like a thunderbolt exploding in Bai Moqian's ears. He was stunned for a moment, but he realized in an instant: The reason why General Ghost guards the tomb is because his head was carried into the coffin by the owner of the tomb. There was a burst of smashing in front of the glacier, and he happened to only see the bronze unicorn, so he took it for granted that the head was in the unicorn's mouth.

Li Shao's words were enlightening, and Bai Moqian clapped his hands and said, "When we came in just now, we were all attracted by the sight of the ice palace. We didn't notice that there was no coffin of the owner of the tomb in such a big ice palace. Gongsun Ce The reason why Shicai smashed the glacier was because the person holding his head for burial was hidden in—"

Having said that, Bai Moqian stopped suddenly, he slowly raised his eyes, and looked towards the place where General Shicai stood.

The pouring glacier has all been broken, exposing the dark rock wall below, and about a foot above the ground, there is a cave that is sunken inward, and a person is curled up in the cave.

No, to be precise, there is an ancient corpse with gray hair and shriveled body curled up. Due to the existence of Qilin Yin, the corpse has not rotted, and it still maintains its appearance before death.

"Zhen Chong, how long are you going to squat in there?" Bai Moqian stared at the corpse and said word by word.

There was a dead silence all around, and occasionally there was the sound of howling wind blowing in from a line of sky above his head. Gongsun Ce turned around and looked this way at some point, he pursed his lips tightly, and looked at the ancient corpse without blinking .

A hoarse laughter came out of the cave, like the dull and sour sound of sandpaper rubbing against the ground, which sent chills down one's spine. The ancient corpse crawled out slowly, revealing its dry, black and purple cheeks like orange peel. Bai Moqian and Li Shao looked straight at Gongsun Ce, grinning and said, "Long time no see, old friend."

Gongsun Ce clenched his fist tightly, and after a while, he squeezed out a sentence, "You lied to everyone."

The ancient corpse laughed "hehe" again, hearing a burst of acid in Bai Moqian's stomach, he pulled out the sword "swipe", pointed at the ancient corpse and said: "Don't laugh, laugh again, I will solve it with a sword now!" you."

As soon as he said this, the ancient corpse stopped laughing. It turned its eyeballs to look at Bai Moqian, sizing it up carefully. Bai Moqian felt goose bumps all over his body, and was about to walk away and listen to the ancient corpse's words. : "Seeing that you have practiced for thousands of years, why don't I recognize you?"

"Of course you don't recognize him." Li Shao jumped off Qilin's back and walked slowly to Bai Moqian, with a rather sarcastic smile on his lips, "When you were trying to usurp power, he was still in Guangzhou. There is no human form in the cold palace."

When the ancient corpse saw Li Shao, his expression changed instantly. He retreated into the cave, pointing at Li Shao with a hand like a dead tree branch, "You, you were..."

"Shot to death by random arrows?" Li Shao tilted his head, he shrugged regretfully and said: "I'm sorry, I have jumped out of the six realms of reincarnation, and mere arrows can't hurt me."

Hearing this, the ancient corpse trembled immediately, its upper and lower teeth kept chattering, and the sound of "clack" sounded very frightening.

Li Shao looked down at Zhen Chong, his eyes were very dull, as if looking at a worthless item, he said: "Did you take the initiative to talk about the past, or did I pull out your soul and throw it into the Tortured in purgatory to force you to say?"

"I said, I said, sir, be merciful." The ancient corpse hurriedly crawled out of the cave, knelt down at Li Shao's feet, and slowly told the past events of the previous dynasty that had been dusty for 300 years.

At the end of the Chu Dynasty, Zhen Chong went to Beijing to participate in the Chunwei scientific examination. After being on the list, he participated in the palace examination. With his outstanding articles, he became the Tanhualang of that year.

At that time, the Chu Dynasty was in jeopardy. Excessive levies and miscellaneous taxes were numerous. Cliques in the court and China fought against each other. , declared war on the Chu Dynasty under the banner of "Destroying Chu and Fumo".

Zhen Chong, Gongsun Ce, Li Ke and other new ministers of the Chu Dynasty defected one after another and took refuge under Li Shuo's command.

The fire burned for three days and three nights, and the historically famous capital Yancheng ceased to exist. A new dynasty was established, Li Shuo ascended the throne, and moved the capital to Chang'an City north of Luohe River.

The new emperor held a feast of bliss in Chang'an Palace to entertain all the founding heroes. Zhen Chong, who was sitting in the lower seat, watched the emperor on the dragon chair suddenly become unbalanced: if he hadn't offered advice and suggestions at that time, he had created a "besieged on all sides", Yan Chong How could the city be breached so quickly?

As soon as this idea came out, he couldn't control it, and he began to think about how to get rid of Li Shuo without anyone noticing, and climbed up the dragon chair by himself.

One evening, he returned home from drinking in a restaurant. After he opened the door and entered, he found a man in a gray robe standing in his yard. When the man saw him, the first thing he said was—"I It can help you get rid of Li Shuo without anyone noticing."

Zhen Chong had never mentioned this idea to anyone. Hearing what the gray-robed man said, he woke up from a daze. After careful consideration, he invited the man back to the dormitory for a secret talk.

The man didn't talk much. After entering the house, he took out a small piece of black rattan the thickness of a thumb from the armhole, and said to him: "This is a plant that grows in extremely shady places. The soup made from this wood will slowly absorb its yang energy, and finally die of weakness, if you send this thing to the palace, Li Shuo will die within ten days as long as he touches it a little."

Zhen Chong is a cautious person, knowing that there is no good thing in the sky, so when he asked the man why he wanted to help him, the man only asked him one condition——

"After you succeed to the throne, I need you to send me a hundred young girls every other month."

Zhen Chong thought that this man was a wizard, and that he could use witchcraft to help him rise to the top, so he would naturally save a lot of effort, so he readily reached an agreement with the man.

After Li Shuo drank the tea stained with wood, his body was getting thinner and thinner day by day. Doctors invited one after another, but they couldn't see what disease the Holy One had. Just like that, in the middle of the night ten days later, Zhen Chong and the man stood In front of the dragon couch, Li Shuo watched Li Shuo's breathing gradually weaken with a grinning grin.

The man was very skilled in spells. He cast spells that night. He first fabricated a false imperial decree, and then confused the eunuchs and maids in the palace and the living man of the Holy Majesty. The bewildered servant read out the holy decree that was passed on to him.

The Li Mo clan stood up to object one after another. They demanded a thorough investigation into the sudden death of the Holy Majesty, and they did not recognize this ridiculous imperial decree at all. Zhen Chong was not in a hurry to ascend the throne. On the surface, he fully supported the Li Mo clan, but secretly he conspired with the men to kill the most vocal member of the Li Mo clan without anyone noticing.

After more than half a month of turmoil, there were few voices of opposition from the court. Zhen Chong added another fire to the final succession. He explained that he was actually the lost child of the Li-Mo family.

Li Shuo had no children at all, and those who could succeed him in Li Mo's clan were killed by Zhen Chong silently. Coupled with the black and white imperial decree, Zhen Chong sat on the throne in a legitimate manner.

"Absurd, it's really ridiculous." Bai Moqian took a breath after hearing this, the human heart is really too scary, for the sake of the illusory reputation and rights, it seems reasonable to calculate step by step, but in fact it is extremely absurd, courtiers If you see through it but don't tell it, the common people don't understand and don't want to understand. Although the world is surnamed Li, they are only deceiving themselves and others. How is this different from referring to a deer as a horse?

The man who played a key role in Zhen Chong's plan to steal the sky and change the sun is Meng Ze, the second senior brother who wholeheartedly wants to revive Xiaoyaomen.
