When Li Shimin returned from the palace the next day, he had been sitting in the carriage in a daze, and his mind and consciousness were still immersed in the true spiritual position karma map. In particular, the part of the picture that shows the Emperor of the Upper Palace, or the Emperor of the Western Taiji.

In this short hour and a half, he was doing his best to write down every detail of this part of the picture.

I don't know if it's because his current cultivation and foundation are very different from before, but the True Spiritual Position Karma Diagram he saw this time, whether it is the lines in that picture, the metaphysics it contains, or even the color, is completely different from a few months ago, and it doesn't look like the same picture at all.

Li Shimin thought to himself that this is about the principle of 'looking horizontally into a peak on the side of the ridge, and the height of the distance and near is different', and the same mountain peak, if you look at it from different positions, it will show different scenery. And this time, he was undoubtedly standing higher.

After this realization, he has indeed benefited a lot, Li Shimin has tested it just now, and the 'Emperor Gouchen Shanggong Emperor' Dharma Body summoned by himself has increased his strength by at least two percent compared to before.

It is expected that after further research and refinement of the details, the power of this Dharma Protector God will be further enhanced.

In addition, Li Shimin also has a further understanding of the stars of that week. Many of the obstacles he had in his practice of the 'Zhou Tian Xuanling Yuan Qi Mantra' were easily solved.

This is even beneficial to his participation in the study of rune arrays, such as the "Shangyuan Ziwei Diagram", "Beidou Demon Diagram" and other rune arrays related to the stars, Li Shimin has a lot of insights and understands some of the principles of these rune arrays.

So since leaving Vientiane Tower, Li Shimin has been sighing. That Huayang True Monarch Tao Hongjing's attainments in Taoism are simply the level of pedantic heaven and man, ancient and modern,

You need to know that on the True Spirit Position Karma Map, there is not only one Emperor of the Upper Palace, but in addition, there are a total of three hundred and sixty gods, which is the number of days in a week.

It can be said that it is all-encompassing, all-encompassing, and the truth of heaven, earth, stars, and all things in the world are exhausted in this picture, which is contained in the three hundred and sixty gods and laws.

And the one in the Vientiane Building is not the original drawn by Tao Hongjing, but just a copy of his disciple Xuan Zhenjun.

Because of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but think of another "Ancient and Modern Famous Artifact" recorded by Tao Hongjing. Legend has it that this Huayang Zhenjun was not only the first person in the Daomen at that time, but also a master craftsman who reached the pinnacle in mechanism and forging techniques. And his work "Ancient and Modern Famous Instruments" is a work of exhaustive physical and mental blood.

It not only records the names of all divine weapons and armor from ancient times to the present, the year and month of refining, the specific functions, etc., but also records Tao Hongjing's speculation about their whereabouts, the method of refining, and even the drawings after complete analysis.

It is a pity that after Tao Hongjing's death, this "Record of Ancient and Modern Famous Instruments" was obtained by the royal family of the Southern Dynasty, and then disappeared in the wars over the years. Even the ancestral Maoshan of the Shangqing faction has not been preserved without any facsimile. There may also be, but it's just that the head of the Southern Heavenly Master Dao is kept secret.

Li Shimin thought to himself that if he had the opportunity, he would have to take a look at this "Record of Ancient and Modern Famous Weapons" no matter what, and it would definitely be able to make his armor-making skills go to the next level.

It wasn't until he returned to his other courtyard that Li Shimin recovered from his state of sitting and thinking and studying hard. Just because of the faceless arrow, Luo Li has also returned to his other courtyard.

There are some scars on this person's body, but none of them have reached the vital point, and his spirit is still quite full. Obviously, these injuries are not worth mentioning for Luo Li.

This made Li Shimin breathe a sigh of relief, he had been very worried about Luo Li's situation before. This man has been in a state of unknown whereabouts since he went to pursue the 'Dragon Phase', and has never returned. If it weren't for this person who occasionally sent back messages and reported his safety to Li Shimin, he would almost have asked Wang Chonggu to cooperate and borrow someone to search for Luo Li's whereabouts for him.

"Who are you meeting here?"

After carefully looking at Luo Li, Li Shimin asked in surprise: "It seems that they are all arrow wounds?"

"I don't know, but this person's archery skills are not under me and the eye of reincarnation, and they are the first-class divine archery in the world. ”

Luo Li had a palpitating look: "This time, if you don't retreat in time, you almost won't be able to come back." ”

Li Shimin's face couldn't help but be full of gloom, and his tone was not good: "As I said, even if you let him go, it's nothing, you must put your own safety as the first priority." ”

Luo Li knew that Li Shimin was worried about his safety, so he smiled disapprovingly: "My subordinates didn't want to chase too far, but I didn't expect to chase more than ten miles away, and they encountered danger." But I've also gained a little here. ”

As he spoke, he gestured to Yuan Tianhao. The latter immediately cast a spell, causing the living room to suddenly be filled with mist, and then a phantasmagoric figure appeared in front of Li Shimin's eyes.

Dressed in a big red robe, with gray hair and a mask on his face, the image seems to be the appearance of 'Buddha Tihuan Indra', or 'Emperor Nengtian', 'Emperor Shakti',

Yuan Tianhao actually simulated this person's aura by a few points, the killing intent was fierce and piercing, and there was immeasurable coercion in his eyes, which made Li Shimin's breath not only stagnant.

- Presumably this is all due to Luo Li's own feelings, and Yuan Tianhao's simulation should be less than one-tenth of what he remembers.

But if this is indeed from Luo Li's own memory, then this head of the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon must be a divine product.

"This is Shakti?"

Li Shimin's expression was awe-inspiring, and he suddenly felt that it was a blessing that Luo Li was able to retreat this time.

"Senior Luo, I feel that you can try to burn incense and worship the Buddha next. I think this must be the blessing of the gods and Buddhas—"

"I also think I've had a lot of luck this time. ”

Luo Li smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren't for that person who had no scruples and seemed to be restrained by a powerful person with great powers, I would definitely not be able to come back this time." By the way—"

Luo Li said this, and took an ink box in front of him: "This is up to the master, although this time my own injuries are fine." However, this 'sunset thunder' was not lightly damaged and had to be repaired. ”

Li Shimin not only raised his eyebrows, but thought to himself, okay, this is another big expense.

The repair of the ink armor of the king rank, he is not unable to complete it independently, but the problem is that he does not have the time now.

However, if this 'sunset thunder' is entrusted to those high-level craftsmen to repair, it will inevitably cost more than 200,000 yuan.

Speaking of his own 'Heavenly Thunder Shadow', he also has to do some small repairs, which is also about 50,000 yuan.

In this battle of Yunmengguan, although he has gained a lot on his side, the consumption is not trivial-

※ ※ ※ ※

In the next few days, Li Shimin stayed in the yamen of the embroidered clothes and guards in the imperial city during the day, and returned to his courtyard on time at night, and then stayed in the study until midnight. In short, no matter the work and rest and itinerary, they are extremely regular, and they seem to be conscientious and loyal, which can be called an example of court officials. But in fact, he is not doing his job all day long, during the day, he either holds the classics of Yunmengguan, or closes his eyes and meditates, and feels and studies the picture of the Emperor of the Upper Palace. In the evening, it is assembling and studying the ink armor, as well as daily practice.

Regarding the many black market merchants who were copied and imprisoned by him, Li Shimin has long been out of business. All related affairs were handed over by him to the embroidered clothes guard and Si Litai.

At most, he just took a look at it and sent it to him the interrogation records, and then spoke for these merchants in violation of the laws of the Great Sui.

- Of course, there is a fee for this, and in just two days, Li Shimin has received as much as 2.3 million yuan in 'heavy bribes' from the lobbyists of various families.

This is still under the condition that he is more restrained, if he is willing to let go of his reserve to collect money, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to collect five or six million yuan. This is because of Li Shimin's attitude, which is still crucial at this time.

The leniency of the sentence is indeed the duty of the Henan County Government and the Criminal Department. But whether Li Shimin handed over the verdict when he handed over the testimony or the charges he charged when he went to court, it will ultimately determine the fate of these businesses.

After all, the Demon Dragon Babu is indeed in the major black market merchants, and a lot of things have been purchased, which is well documented after the raid of the Yunlong Temple.

Li Shimin only needs to say in the verdict, 'Knowingly, suspected of having something to do with the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon', these people can face annihilation, and even those court bigwigs standing behind them will be implicated.

However, Li Shimin knew that this time, the Son of Heaven had no intention of making a big move. It was really because the black market case was too involved this time, and countless court magnates were involved. At this time, the Son of Heaven will not mess with himself, implicate himself in the middle of the court, and raise a prison.

Therefore, their Majesty most likely intends to pick out one or two of them to set an example, and then punish the remaining dozen or so families.

The latter is also likely to bleed heavily, and if he does not come out with a large amount of money this time, it will be difficult to calm the anger of the Son of Heaven. But compared to their own lives, this is nothing.

Therefore, Li Shimin received this money with peace of mind. He couldn't help these guys anyway, so he might as well take some money from their pockets. This can more or less benefit himself, and it can also allow him to do more things that are beneficial to the country.

Taking a step back, in this black market case, reasonable people naturally know that he has resolved the deadlock between the court and the suspicion of the Son of Heaven. But in this world, after all, there are still many confused people, and it is difficult to give up money, after bleeding and cutting flesh, how can there be no complaints about him Li Shimin?

This time, he didn't care about his reputation, he contributed to the Son of Heaven and got some compensation, which is just right. If you don't take a penny, I'm afraid it will lead to the suspicion of the Son of Heaven.
