Chapter 120: The Art of Bringing the Dead Back to Life
The man glanced at Li Yun's corpse, and there was a trace of doubt on his cold face, and he looked at the person in front of him, becoming more and more puzzled.
"No one found you, did they?" The old man sitting in the valley asked.
"I'll do it, don't worry."
The cold man replied without a trace of emotion, what he wanted to steal, even the concubines of the imperial city might not be able to find him.
"Good! It's your bounty. β
The old man grabbed a money bag from the side and threw it to him, and after the man opened it, he counted the money in it, and said, "It's a lot more than agreed, and I never owe anything to work, and I never take more, I take as much as I want." β
"I know your principles, and the extra money will not be given in vain, and you need to do something for me."
After the old man finished speaking, he threw him a money bag again, and when the man caught it, he found that there was more money in the money bag than before, and it was all pure gold, shining brightly.
"Gold? It seems that this is not an ordinary thing. The man said coldly.
"This is just a deposit, and after the deed is completed, there will be a heavy reward." The old man said.
"With so much deposit, it seems that this matter must be difficult."
"What? The dignified feng shui master and the world's number one thief, Li Chunfeng, will also be afraid?! β
was ridiculed by the old man, but Li Chunfeng didn't think so, he was expressionless, and said: "Ridiculous! I'm going to settle on your money, let's say, what task? β
"In the Taihang Mountains, there is an ancient dragon vein, I want to find this dragon vein, take three things and give them to me." The old man said.
"What's that?"
"The first is the cold water under the dragon vein; The second is the magma under the dragon vein; The third is the keel under the dragon vein. β
Li Chunfeng looked at him and snorted, "Are you kidding? Cold water underground? Magma? Joist?! I'm a thief, not a grave robber, where to give you these things? β
"They are all thieves, stealing nothing is not stealing, and you know Feng Shui, only you can do it."
Li Chunfeng glanced at the corpse lying on the ground, his body was cold at the moment, and his body had not yet decayed, and asked, "Is it for him?" Will a dead man still be able to revive him? β
"You just do things, don't ask what you shouldn't." The old man said.
Li Chunfeng said: "I heard that you also know some feng shui, and you were also summoned to Beijing by the emperor of the current dynasty, and I heard that you know the art of resurrecting the dead, and everyone in the world thinks it is a rumor, and it seems that this is true." β
"Li Chunfeng!!"
The old man said in a slight tone, and Li Chunfeng could clearly feel his anger.
Li Chunfeng stopped talking and said, "Ten days at the earliest, I am afraid that only I can find what you want in this world." β
"My skill ensures that his body will not rot for ten days, five days."
"Ten days!" Li Chunfeng said resolutely.
"No, five days."
"No, nine days."
"No, six days.
"No, eight days."
"No, seven days."
"Okay, deal."
Li Chunfeng responded, but he always felt that there was a kind of way of this guy.
β¦β¦
After Li Chunfeng left, the old man sat cross-legged, summoned the true qi in his body, and wandered around his body, and after a while, a light golden light was released from his palm to invade Li Yun's body.
The cold body that had been ossified had a temperature here, but Li Yun was still a corpse, without any vital signs, just let him return to the state he was in when he first died.
With a wave of the old man's arm, Li Yun's body floated into the stream, lying in the slowly flowing stream, but seeing the soles of his feet stamped, there was ice dozens of meters nearby.
The river in which the stream flowed instantly condensed into a disease, and Li Yun's body was frozen in the water, which was the only way to preserve his body.
"Yun'er, whether you live or die depends on your creation."
The old man's frozen power froze everything around him, which was extremely exhausting of internal force, and he was already old, as if he was an old teenager in an instant.
At night, the old man looked at the night sky, and the purple star in the darkness disappeared, and the star that represented Li Yun's life would also die at any time.
Yuan Tiangang!
This old man in the sixtieth century is not an outsider, it is Li Yun's master, in the past, he worshiped the Tang Dynasty master, and today he travels north and south of the river, and he can always appear when Li Yun is alive and dead.
With a flick of his fingers, he dropped a leaf, wrote a few words on the leaf with his internal force, and took a carrier pigeon to take the leaf away.

In Chang'an City, the crown prince Li Chengqian was entrusted with investigating the case of Li Yun's killing.
In order to prove his innocence, Li Chengqian also worked very hard, and at the same time, the imperial court also dispatched troops to investigate the case.
It can be seen that Tang King Li Shimin's favor and attention to King Yun can not be resurrected after death, which is also the last thing he can do for Li.
With the linkage of multiple parties and the cooperation of various functional departments, it was finally locked down a hunter living thirty miles away from Chang'an, as well as the Oiran of the Ziyuan Pavilion in the teaching workshop.
The two were the main suspects in Li Yun's murder, and the hunters would send game to the Aster Pavilion every once in a while, and they passed information to each other in this way.
It's just that when Li Chengqian led his troops to Orion and Ziyuan Pavilion, Oiran and Orion had already committed suicide in fear of crime, leaving no evidence.
After a period of hard work, it was also in vain.
The angry Li Chengqian didn't think about eating, and he was beating eggplants with frost all day long, he didn't expect to be so cunning.
On the other hand, Cheng Zhijie secretly interrogated Jieli Khan, and under the torture of the boss, Jieli Khan finally couldn't bear to confess a major matter.
After learning of this, Cheng Zhijie hurriedly reported it to the imperial court, and after Li Shimin learned the important information, he couldn't help but sneer: "The elixir? β
"According to Jieli Khan, he hid in the Qinling Mountains to refine the elixir of life." Cheng Zhijie said.
"Ridiculous! There is no elixir in the world, isn't it just the nonsense of alchemists. Li Shimin said.
Immortality or something, that's absolutely impossible, anyway, Cheng Zhijie won't believe it, but when it comes to immortality, Cheng Zhijie remembered one thing: "Your Majesty, do you remember Yuan Tiangang?" β
"How could I forget? Back then, he gave me a hexagram, saying that in the future, I would win the Central Plains. β
This incident still happened when Li Shimin was young, at that time, it was still the Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin did not think so, but he did not expect that a few years later, the Sui Dynasty was turbulent, and the Tang Dynasty rose up peerlessly.
Later, Li Shimin staged a coup d'Γ©tat, seized imperial power, and really won the Central Plains.
For this reason, Li Shimin found Yuan Tiangang and wanted him to enter the court as an official, Yuan Tiangang readily agreed, worshipping the Tang Dynasty National Teacher, but half a year later, he resigned from illness and traveled all over the world, saying that he had not seen him for four years.
"The old minister heard that Yuan Tiangang has the art of resurrecting the dead, do you think he will go to Yuan Tiangang?" Cheng Zhijie said.
Five years ago, the folk rumors were boiling, I don't know whether it is true or not, and later it was forgotten as Yuan Tiangang faded out of people's field of vision.
Resurrection from the dead and immortality are essentially the same, but also different, one is the transformation of the dead into the living, and the other is the transformation of the living into the undead.
The leader of the organization has been looking for the elixir, just like the first emperor who went east to find Penglai, and wanted to ask for the elixir, but in the end to no avail, he died on the road to the east patrol, and was tampered with by traitors, and the Qin Empire also ended up with a tragic ending.
"Yuan Tiangang will never submit to anyone, not even I have been able to keep him, do you think that person can do it?" Li Shimin asked rhetorically.
"That's right, he's far worse than Your Majesty, back then, Your Majesty could defeat him once, and he could defeat him a second time, he vainly wanted to live forever, daydreaming." Cheng Zhijie said.
"Let's not talk about him first, has the body of King Yun been found?!" Li Shimin asked.
"Clues have been found, if the old minister is right, it should be Li Chunfeng, who has the world's number one thief in the rivers and lakes, who stole King Yun's body." Cheng Zhijie said.
"Li Chunfeng?"
This man is called a "thief", and thieves also have a way, he only wants to steal ill-gotten gains, and when he starts this kind of business.
Cheng Zhijie understood King Tang's heart, and said: "At present, we have not yet understood his purpose, and the minister has informed Tang San that the Longmen Dart Bureau is all over the world, and I believe that Li Chunfeng's traces will be found soon." β
"Good!"
After Li Shimin said something, Cheng Zhijie was about to retreat, and before leaving, he secretly instructed him to do some things, and after he left, Li Shimin said behind the screen: "Come out!" β
Fang Xuanling walked out from behind the screen, and Li Shimin said, "Did you hear it?" β
"Clearly."
"What do you think about this?"
"He wants immortality? It is necessary to find the dragon vein, when His Majesty remembered the old love and left his life is the biggest mistake, regret not at the beginning, he has been a wolf in the past few years, secretly Chen Cang, and his power is all over the government and the opposition, and now he wants to get rid of him, I'm afraid it's not so simple. Fang Xuanling said.
"What did Yuan Tiangang say over there?"
Li Shimin knew that Fang Xuanling had always been in contact with him, but he didn't break it.
Fang Xuanling also said bluntly: "He sent Li Chunfeng to find the dragon vein, and he will have news soon." β
"That's all?"
That's all he said in his letter. Fang Xuanling said.
"Li Chunfeng stole King Yun's body, wasn't it Yuan Tiangang?" Li Shimin asked.
Last night, Fang Xuanling received Yuan Tiangang's flying pigeon letter, in the letter recorded by the leaves, Yuan Tiangang did not mention Li Yun's matter, it is obvious that Yuan Tiangang concealed Li Yun's matter, as for the reason?
I'm afraid only he knows.
"I don't know."
Seeing that Fang Xuanling didn't seem to be lying, Li Shimin became more and more confused: "If it wasn't Yuan Tiangang, who stole King Yun's body, and what was its purpose?" β
Li Shimin always felt that something was wrong, as if there was a bigger secret behind it, as if there was a pair of giant hands pushing them forward.
Who the hell is this person?
