Without waiting for Li Ke to react, Yuan Kui heard this scream, his sturdy body bounced up like a leopard, and immediately protected Li Ke, looking at the steward eunuch by the temple gate vigilantly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Something was wrong, when Li Ke first walked into the temple, he expressed great discomfort with everything around the temple. The discomfort is inexplicable, like the instinct of a seagull to follow the propellers of a large cruise ship for some reason. Li Ke had an idea of avoiding this temple.

"Your Highness, there are blood stains here." Gonggong De pointed to the courtyard door with one hand, spread out his palm with the other, and a dark color stained the white hands of the eunuch De.

Yuan Kui cautiously looked in through the low wall of the temple, and motioned for Li Ke to follow.

An indescribable smell in the air, the smell of blood? Or is it the unique scent of sandalwood in temples? It looks particularly eerie in the gloomy woods.

"Are you sure you didn't get something like vermilion paint?" Li Ke approached the temple and said to Gonggong De.

"Your Highness, the color of this blood has been ,,," is worthy of being a person who has experienced the big scene in the palace, Eunuch De's expression has returned to normal, and he is completely free of the panic of touching the blood just now, it may be that he has seen too much human blood, and Eunuch De said calmly.

Without waiting for Eunuch De to finish speaking, Yuan Kui pointed to a place in the dark wooden door and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, look, there is a handprint here." ”

Li Ke followed the gesture and looked at it, and there was indeed a palm print on the wooden door, but it was slightly inconspicuous on the dark wooden door.

After knowing that this was bloodstains and nothing else, Yuan Kui's expression became more and more solemn, after all, now that Li Ke's guards were not around, if something happened to Li Ke, he wouldn't have to live.

"Aque, you open the way ahead, be careful."

"No!" Yuan Kui carefully pushed open the courtyard door, looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no danger under the four low walls, he beckoned Li Ke to come in.

Li Ke did not hesitate, and then walked into the courtyard, this temple is not big, only one main hall is in the middle, and two side rooms are on both sides. Because the gate is too small, the name of the temple hangs directly above the main hall.

"Undando"

"Your Highness, this is the Dan Courtyard under the Shang Dan Bureau." De Rong, as the little steward of the Shang Food Bureau in the palace, recognized at a glance that this was the Dan Yuan under the Shang Dan Bureau, which was also under the jurisdiction of Ouchi.

"Oh. How is it that the Chandan Bureau also has a temple in the Imperial Garden? Li Ke asked.

"Your Royal Highness, you know that this Shangdan Bureau belongs to His Majesty's personal command, and no one else is allowed to interfere, not the small one can know, and the small one also listened to the eunuch who said that there is such an institution. Others are not clear. Father-in-law De said vaguely.

Li Ke saw that there was a slightly dilapidated temple in the gloomy old forest on the eastern slope of the Imperial Garden, and it was still the Dantang under the jurisdiction of Ouchi, and there were still people killed in the Dantang, and he already had some thoughts in his heart.

Since this is a subordinate of the Imperial Palace's Ouchi, it is naturally not Li Ke who can interfere.

"Open the door and see what's going on inside the hall before making a decision." Li Ke knew that he couldn't do the affairs of this place, so he made up his mind and prepared to take a look at the situation in the hall, and then let people report to the palace.

Yuan Kui opened the door of the hall and saw an old Taoist priest dressed in dark blue cloth lying in a pool of blood in front of the statue in the main hall, his pale face was three points paler than that of the eunuch.

Li Ke is a person who has experienced life and death, so naturally he will not be shocked by the death of a dead person, but the blood pool formed by the blood shed by this Taoist priest is really bigger.

Yuan Kui stepped forward to probe the snort of the Taoist priest on the ground, examined the wound of the Taoist priest, but handed Li Ke a look of doubt.

"Your Highness, this old man has been dead for a long time, and the cause of death is excessive blood loss, but this wound, this wound has clearly been bandaged."

"Oh, where is his injury?" Li Ke was also a little confused, how can a bandaged wound cause excessive blood loss, even in this era when there are no antibiotics, at most it should be a wound that is purulent and infected and dies, how can it cause excessive blood loss?

"The wound is at the base of the thigh." Yuan Kui, who knew that things were tricky, handed Li Ke a look and asked Li Ke not to continue to ask.

Li Ke understood and knew that he couldn't control this matter, so he asked Eunuch De to immediately go down the mountain and ask the guards to investigate, and he and Yuan Kui would stay here to maintain the scene first.

"Yes." This eunuch was a man who was afraid of death, so he didn't say anything, and went down the mountain to report the news.

The smell in the hall made Li Ke very uncomfortable, Li Ke saw that the eunuch was far away, so he also walked out of the main hall, and when he turned around, he felt that something was wrong.

I looked back again, although the lobby layout was not very luxurious, it was extremely neat and clean, which was very different from the slightly dilapidated courtyard gate and courtyard wall, forming a sharp contrast. Li Ke knew that if someone lived here, then at least the outside yard would be repaired a little, and no matter how bad it was, there should always be cleaning.

Yuan Kui followed Li Ke out, a little wanted to say something, and his expression was a little strange.

Seeing this, Li Ke asked, "There are no outsiders here, Yuan Kui, what clues do you see?" ”

Yuan Kui was a little hesitant: "Your Highness, we, let's get out of here, this old way was cursed by Xu Daojun and bled to death." This hall is Xu Daojun's dharma field, if Daojun casts a spell, the people in the hall will inevitably drain and bleed to death. ”

Only then did Li Ke remember that what was enshrined in this Dantang was not Sanqing, nor was it Lao Li's cheap ancestor Taoist Laozi. It is the Qin Dynasty alchemist Xu Fu, this Xu Fu is the ancestor of the Fang Shi. Xu Fu lied that there were Xianshan overseas, called Penglai, Abbot, and Yingzhou, and wanted to go east to Xianshan to seek the elixir of life for the First Emperor, and deceive Qin Shi Huang as a decisive emperor.

In Li Ke's opinion, this Xu Fu is just a liar who grasps the emperor's desire to live forever and cheats, and Li Ke has heard of Xu Fu's curse for the first time, so he doesn't believe it very much.

didn't wait for Li Ke to think about it, but saw a person walking in the distance, with a white beard fluttering, but walking like flying. Yuan Kui subconsciously wanted to protect Li Ke, but when he saw that it was just an old man walking in the distance, he was not overly nervous.

Li Ke saw that this old man was full of qi cultivation techniques, his white hair was fluttering but he did not look old, his face was ruddy like a prime of life, like a new red sun, warm but not hot. Subconsciously said: "But Sun Simiao's old miracle doctor? ”

At this time, the old man couldn't help but show a little surprise even if he was modest, "Young man, how do you know that you are an old man?" “

"Old Divine Doctor, this is His Royal Highness Wu Wang Ke of the Tang Dynasty." Yuan Kui reminded respectfully.

Even if he is as vigorous as Yuan Kui, he is also thunderous about Sun Simiao's name, and he does not dare to make a mistake.

"Ke has seen the old doctor come to Chang'an in the sixth year of Zhenguan, and he has seen the old doctor from afar, and it is really Ke Sansheng's luck to see it today, but I don't know why the old doctor came?" Li Ke in the next generation, but he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Sun Simiao, knowing that this Sun Simiao had a good health preservation technique, and lived for more than 140 years and died without illness, which can be called the longest-lived person in history, and the illness of the little son has to rely on this old way.

"Lao Dao received a letter from an old friend the day before yesterday, so he came to visit, but why didn't he see my old friend? But... Sun Simiao seemed to notice something, his expression tightened, bypassing Li Ke and Yuan Kui, and a quick walk floated past to reopen the door of the hall that was covered by Li Ke.
