30. Lower Underworld
Li Shimin did not dodge or dodge, raised his right hand, and used the dagger in his hand to hold the prince's sword, "Today is either you die or I die." ”
The prince sneered: "No, only you die today, because I am already dead, my good second brother." ”
Li Shimin was shocked.
The crown prince launched an attack like splashing ink, the sword light was like mercury, pervasive, Li Shimin was not an assassin with a dagger in the first place, and he was defeated in an instant.
One sword wound after another remained on his body, but in a few breaths, Li Shimin was already covered in blood.
The prince laughed, "Go die." ”
He picked up the dagger in Li Shimin's hand with a sword, and the long sword stabbed out, and it was about to penetrate Li Shimin's heart.
Right now......
"Your Majesty, wake up!"
A thunderous version of the roar sounded in Li Shimin's ears, and in an instant, the entire hall rumbled, dust fell, and cracks appeared in the walls and the earth.
The prince couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to stab Li Shimin to death.
But at this time, the hall collapsed, and Li Shimin disappeared in an instant, leaving only the prince who looked up to the sky and roared.
In the next second, Li Shimin opened his eyes suddenly, sat up from the bed, gasped for breath, and suddenly he seemed to remember something, and quickly tore his clothes and looked down at his chest.
Nothing.
There were no wounds and no sword marks.
Li Shimin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, regained his demeanor as an emperor, he turned his head to look, and found an old Taoist priest with a crane hair and a childish face standing in front of him, looking at him with concern.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
The emperor shook his head and said, "Yuan Aiqing, thanks to you today, if you hadn't woken me up in time, I would have almost been ......."
At this point, the emperor hesitated and did not continue.
Yuan Tiangang pretended not to hear this, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, forgive Lao Dao, although Lao Dao can protect the emperor for a while, he can't protect the emperor in his first life, that is hideous and domineering, full of malice towards the emperor, as long as Lao Dao is slightly negligent, the emperor's life is worried." ”
The emperor's heart was a little cold, and he couldn't help but ask, "Then what should I do to get rid of this terrible ghost." ”
Yuan Tiangang said: "For today's plan, there is only one way. ”
"What's the solution?" The Emperor asked.
"Go to the underworld, sue the emperor, and ask the Son of Heaven to send someone to arrest the ghost." Yuan Tiangang said categorically.
When the emperor heard that he was going to go to the underworld, he suddenly became bold, and he couldn't help frowning, "Do you have to go to the underworld?" There's no other way? ”
Yuan Tiangang shook his head.
The emperor said: "Yuan Aiqing, you are a master of the Tao, can't you kill this powerful ghost for me?" ”
Yuan Tiangang sighed helplessly and said: "Your Majesty, if you talk about praying for blessings and rain, and deducing the heavenly machine, the old way should not let it go, but if you talk about the ghosts and gods, the old way will not work." ”
The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Then what if I find someone to go to the underworld for me and sue the emperor?" ”
Yuan Tiangang thought for a while and said, "This method is feasible, but it ......."
Speaking of this, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but groan, and the emperor hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”
Yuan Tiangang said: "The yin qi of the underworld is vigorous, if the soul of the living goes down, and he has not seen the son of Yama, he will be eroded by the yin qi and turn into a yin soul, not to mention, the king of Yama is easy to see, the little ghost is difficult, and ordinary people can't see the son of Yama." ”
The emperor was frightened and said, "Then you still let me go." ”
Yuan Tiangang made a gesture of calmness, and said slowly: "I just said the old way, that is an ordinary person, but the emperor is the ninety-five in the world, there is a dragon qi to protect the body, and the yin qi will not erode the emperor's soul, in addition, the emperor is the ninety-five in the world, and the general yin evil ghosts dare not embarrass the emperor, and the emperor will definitely be able to see the son of Yama." If you change someone......"
Speaking of this, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but shake his head.
But the emperor didn't care, and said coldly: "If one person can't do it, then I will send ten, a hundred, a thousand, how about it?" ”
Yuan Tiangang felt that this move hurt the heavens, but when he saw the emperor's heart, he knew that he couldn't stop it, so he could only say: "Ordinary people can't do it, after ordinary people's souls are eroded by yin qi, the whole person will be confused and don't remember anything." ”
"So, you have to be a cultivator?"
"Yes. Ordinary practitioners are not good, they must be practitioners who have reached a certain level of cultivation. Yuan Tiangang said.
The emperor asked, "Are the people of the Great Tang Town Demon Division available?" ”
Yuan Tiangang said: "Only a few people are available. ”
The emperor nodded, and immediately ordered someone to come and wrote a holy decree, which was sent to the Datang Town Demon Division overnight.
……
A few days later, Luoyang City.
Wang Bo and Xiaobai, as well as Xiaoqing walked on the street in Luoyang City, looking around with scattered eyes, today's weather is good, the sky is clear, and there are no clouds, so Wang Bo and Xiaobai Xiaoqing are walking on the street.
After staying at home for a long time, I have to go out and walk around occasionally.
Wang Bo didn't mind, so he just thought it was sunbathing.
Although the city of Luoyang is prosperous, it is too far away from the modern city with busy traffic and bright lights, but it is tired of visiting the modern city, and occasionally walking in the ancient city of rubbing shoulders and bluestone roads, it also has a unique flavor.
A group of three people walked along the main road in the city, and suddenly heard a commotion coming from the corner next to them, Xiaoqing took Xiaobai's hand and walked in the direction where the sound came from, and said as he walked: "Sister, let's go over and have a look." ”
Wang Bo shook his head and followed with a smile.
When the three of them came to the corner, they found that the corner was crowded with people, with three floors inside and three layers outside.
Wang Bo quietly slapped out a true qi, and the true qi easily separated the crowd like a tide, made way for a way, and squeezed in with Xiaobai and Xiaoqing.
At the center of the crowd was a husband and wife, the man was tall and mighty, the woman was petite and lovely, and the two were performing in the rivers and lakes.
No, it's not right to say that it is a charlatan.
In fact, the two of them are performing, and the drama of the performance is...... Catch ghosts!
The man was holding a rusty machete in his hand, but if he looked closely, he would find that the rust on the machete was not rust, but coagulated blood, which was full of yin qi and could not be washed away no matter what.
The man claimed that the knife was a ghost of the lodger, so the knife could not be cleaned, not only could it not be cleaned, but it would even pollute the water source.
The smaller woman understood, and took a basin of clear water, and the man dipped the knife into the water, but in just three or five minutes, the water turned red, releasing a pungent smell of blood.
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the crowd, and some timid people turned pale with fright, and almost fainted.
