There is a dragon in the backyard of the palace

This can be said to be a shocking secret. Xiao opened his eyes wide, covered his mouth tightly with his hands, and bit his lips with his teeth to prevent himself from screaming.

According to historical records, Gao Zu lived a total of 130 years, ascended the throne at the age of 70, and died 65 years later.The queen had five sons, all four of whom died young.After the death of Gaozu, the fifth son ascended the throne as Emperor Taizong.

Since Gaozu lived for 130 years, he is obviously no longer an ordinary mortal.But if you want to compare it with the age of the dragon, this mere 130 years is just a moment.If it is said that Gaozu is indeed a real dragon, but he died after 65 years of ascending the throne, no one can believe it.

If Gao Zu was really dead, who was he murdered?If he hadn't died, then who was buried in Gaozu's tomb?

Xiao didn't want to defile the remains of his ancestors before, so he didn't want to go into the mausoleum.Now that I think of this festival, I really want to go to Gaozu's tomb and see the mysteries in it.

That Young Master Ren left behind such shocking words, but didn't say much anymore, just smiled lightly, left the stunned Xiao and Qinglong behind, turned and went upstairs.

Xiao and Qinglong came to look for Young Master Ren, and they just came to ask him about this matter. Now that the matter has been asked, it is useless to stay here any longer. They looked at each other and turned to leave.

But they said that the three of them were talking here just now, because it was early and there was no one else beside them, only a mistress who kept dozing off, so although their topic was a bit special, they didn't deliberately avoid it.They talked in a quiet voice, and they expected that no one would hear them, but they didn't want to hear what they were talking about, so it just so happened that the waiter in the inn was a spy like Feng Chuo.

He was indeed sitting in front of the hall and dozing off, but when he saw Xiao and Qinglong, he immediately recognized that it was King Jin who was wanted before. After delivering it, he sat back and pretended to take a nap, but the three of them didn't notice him at all.

He listened to most of the conversation between them, but he didn't hear what Mr. Ren whispered in Xiao's ear.But what he heard was enough to make him ecstatic, and after the three of them left, he immediately rushed to the capital, and three days later, the conversation between the three had already been presented to the emperor.

During this time, the emperor was in a bad mood.

Regardless of the former court or the harem, everything is under his control, only King Jin is always out of his control, which makes him troubled.Although since he ascended the throne, the whole world has surrendered, but as long as King Jin is away, the emperor has never been able to sleep peacefully.

Since he learned of Xiao's whereabouts, he sent a large number of assassins and spies. On the one hand, he was spying on the news, and on the other hand, he also thought that if any assassin could stab King Jin to death, he would be able to sleep peacefully. .But just as he imagined at the beginning, his cousin was not so easy to deal with. All the assassins he sent disappeared without a trace, and they had obviously been killed by them.

The work of the spies is better than that of the assassins. The news about King Jin comes in like snowflakes every day. What did King Jin eat, where did he sleep, and how many times did he get up at night? Whatever he said, he knew everything clearly.But these news are of no use, they can only aggravate the emperor's anxiety.The day before, he received a message from the spies, saying that he had lost him. He was feeling a headache, but he received a message from another direction that Xiao was talking to Mr. Ren.

He got so much news, only this one is really useful.

Staring at the record of their conversation written by the spies, the emperor fell into deep thought.

As a king, apart from wishing for the stability of the country, his greatest wish is to long for longevity, and he is no exception.The record of this conversation is like a seed planted in the emperor's heart, and it will germinate only when there is an opportunity.It just so happened that at this time, Si Tianjian recommended a person to the emperor. He was a famous Taoist who was proficient in the art of longevity. He claimed to have a lifespan of more than two hundred years, but his appearance seemed to be only thirty years old.When the emperor heard that there was such a person, he just met his own concerns, so he called him into the palace to have an audience.

The Taoist's description was just as people said, as if he was only in his thirties, but when he talked about the events of the previous two dynasties, he seemed to have experienced it himself.According to what he said, when Xianzong first came to the throne more than 60 years ago, he also summoned him and told the specific time. The emperor ordered someone to take Xianzong's daily life note. When I looked for it, I saw the record of Xianzong summoning the immortal. The name, appearance and appearance of the person and the Taoist priest were all matched.

The emperor was greatly impressed, and he had no doubts about the Taoist in his heart. He talked with him about the way of keeping in good health. Close collection.

The emperor talked about scriptures and Taoism with this Taoist, and talked about the art of health preservation for three days. It was not until the third day that the emperor finally talked about the topic casually:

"Have you ever heard the legend about dragons?"

Hearing this, the Taoist couldn't help laughing:

"Your Majesty's ancestor was a real dragon, so why bother to ask the poor Taoist? Are you trying to test me?"

The emperor shook his head and sighed:

"I'm ashamed to say that since the time of Gaozu, it has only been more than two hundred years. It is said that there are records of the situation at that time, and I should not know nothing about it. However, the palace was burned during Gaozong's time, Gaozu's living notes and many historical materials at that time Almost all of them were burned down, and occasionally some remained, and the records in them were also vague, and it was difficult to figure out the meaning. Since the immortal master has lived for more than two hundred years, I am afraid that he still has some memories of the events of Gaozu's time. , I hope you will give me some advice.”

The Taoist laughed loudly when he heard the words:

"Although it is true that Pindao has lived for more than two hundred years, Gaozu was just an ignorant child when he was in Pindao, so how much memory can he have? Besides, I was just a commoner at that time, and I had never met Gaozu. What does Gaozu know? But after all, Pindao has lived longer, and he finally knows a little about things that ordinary people don't know."

The emperor was a little disappointed when he heard the Taoist said that he didn't know Gaozu well.He also heard that he understood things that ordinary people don't know, and he felt as if he had some hope again, so he asked the spies what he heard from Mr. Ren.After hearing this, the Taoist thought for a moment and said:

"It's not the first time that Pindao has heard of such a statement. It was also said in some books before that if ordinary people can drink dragon blood often, they can live forever; Or the keel, it is possible to turn into a half-dragon. If there is another chance, it may be possible to turn into a real dragon. Your majesty is a descendant of a real dragon. Although the dragon blood has become thinner after many generations, there is still this bit of blood in it after all. .Although it is not easy to transform a dragon, it is definitely not difficult if you want to use this to prolong your life and live to be three to five hundred years old."

When the emperor heard this statement, he was quite happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he just asked again:

"As far as I know, there are five dragons in the world. The ancestor is the red dragon, who died and was buried in the imperial tomb. The white dragon was beheaded by the ancestor, and the bones are nowhere to be found. Today there are only three dragons in the world: green, yellow and black. If you want to eat dragon blood and keel, is it better to look for the three living dragons to get blood, or choose the bones of the ancestors?"

The Taoist heard the words, thought for a moment, and said:

"The statement about the five dragons in the world is actually not accurate. In fact, the number of real dragons is far more than this number. Generally speaking, it is better to drink the blood of living dragons. But judging from the current situation of Your Majesty , if you want to consume the blood of a living dragon, you must stay with the dragon and take blood every month to ensure safety. Somewhat disrespectful, but Gaozu is connected with His Majesty's blood, so you only need to take it once, and you can turn into a half-dragon and enjoy longevity."

Hearing what he said, the emperor already had a plan in mind, and then asked again:

"What if you have consumed the bones of Gao Zu and then fetched the blood of a living dragon?"

The Taoist was shocked:

"Could it be that Your Majesty really intends to bind the dragon? This is not an easy matter, and His Majesty has to think about it carefully. However, if His Majesty really has this intention, I am willing to do my best for Your Majesty. If this matter can be successful, Your Majesty will definitely be able to do it." Turn into a real dragon and enjoy eternal life.”

The eight characters of turning into a real dragon and enjoying eternal life seem to have touched a certain nerve of the emperor.He made up his mind.

……

But Xiao and Qinglong, after seeing Mr. Ren, they went back to look for the Zheng brothers.Flying into a dragon is easy to be seen, so the two just returned on foot.Perhaps it was because Qinglong came here at night before, and no one could trace his two traces, so their journey was quite smooth, without any troubles, let alone assassins.They returned to the original inn, where the Zheng brothers were still waiting for them.Seeing them back, Zheng Shiqi seemed obviously relieved.

Xiao has been a little uneasy since listening to Mr. Ren's words.Gaozu's secret kept swirling in his heart, making him restless.Seeing this, Qinglong was quite concerned all the time, and finally couldn't help but said to him:

"Young Master Ren told you about this, just to answer your doubts, but now it has brought you new troubles. Since you are so concerned, even if you don't want to disturb Gao Zu's tomb, at least you have to visit it. Fortunately, there is nothing wrong now, so we might as well go to the suburbs of Beijing, what do you think?"

Qinglong's proposal fit Xiao's mind, anyway, there is nothing else to do now, just go there first.As for whether to sneak into the mausoleum, you can slowly consider it on the road.So they packed up their bags and set off in the direction of the capital.

They didn't go too fast - Xiao didn't want to go too fast at first, he needed a little time to sort out the situation he was facing at this time carefully.But someone moved faster than him. On the second day after they set off for the capital, news came from the capital: the current sage has issued a decree and is about to go to the imperial mausoleum to worship the ancestors.
