"The thirteenth year of Emperor Yongxuan, late spring. On the night of May 19, Qi Jun Tang Yuzhen was provoked by annihilation and launched a palace rebellion. The eldest princess led 800 soldiers to quell the rebellion, the Qing monarch side, the dawn triumphant, and the Qi monarch was killed by the stray arrows"

The old historian raised his head from the vast scrolls and asked the young man in front of him with a smile, "Lord Liu really doesn't want to be recorded in history?" ”

"Excuse me, don't waste pen and ink on my little person." Liu Yun smiled.

"It's a pity, recorded in history, reported to the gods, and passed down to the people, a great glory." The old historian shook his head with a look of regret.

Report to the gods? Oh, let the gods find out that I, who should not have appeared in this era, will they let it go.

Liu Yun thought secretly.

But then again, if I am really recorded in history, what kind of title should I take as the kingkiller?

"I don't know what nickname the old gentleman is going to give Tang Yuzhen?" Liu Yun diverted the topic.

"Lord Liu doesn't know that although the princes and kings are named after the Emperor, this nickname has to be issued by the Central Dynasty. Unlike the Central Emperor, all of them are supervised by Tiantai within 100 days of the emperor's birth, divination and fortune telling, and set it in advance. ”

"I see."

Liu Yun was about to leave, and in the afterglow, he saw that the old historian had turned a new page and marked the date: the thirteenth year of Emperor Yongxuan, the end of spring, May 21.

"The old gentleman is also an unpredictable prophet, so he will begin to write tomorrow's history." Liu Yundao.

"Lord Liu, don't laugh at the old man." Looking at the light rain outside the window, a hint of cunning flashed in the old historian's dim eyes: "Something big will happen tomorrow." Isn't it? ”

The rain is almost stopping.

Walking in the slightly chaotic Qi Palace, Liu Yun was like an outsider, and the palace maids and guards all bowed down when they saw him, and then left in a hurry.

After a few boring turns, Liu Yun returned to his palace.

Killing Jing Chuxiao, and secretly killing Tang Yuzhen, Liu Yun finished everything he could, Tang Yuchen simply dialed a palace for him, and he didn't shy away from it.

"Liu Xiaosilly."

Liu Yun shouted.

"Here we are." Liu Xiaoxian ran out of nowhere, followed by a vigilant concubine.

Liu Yun sat down and looked at Liu Xiaoxian.

"Jing Chuxiao, have you ever left Qi Yue?"

Liu Xiaoxian looked resentful, pinched his fingers under Liu Yun's pressing gaze, and said for a while: "No." He and his men remained in Qijing. ”

She nodded.

"Looks like he's still thinking about the Blood God." Liu Yun's face sank like water, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or worried: "Liu Xiaosilly, you can calculate it again, Yun Ye and I can get my wish tomorrow." ”

"This" Liu Xiaoxian looked embarrassed and hesitated: "I can't calculate." ”

"Huh?"

"I really can't figure it out! Ever since you broke my Chrysostom hexagram, you have been out of my hexagram, and no one will ever try to calculate your fate unless you meet a senior who is higher than me. ”

"Sister-in-law, is what she said true?"

"It's true."

It seems that this method of divination also has something in common with martial arts. Liu Xiaoxian didn't calculate my fate, which is equivalent to losing to me, and I have no will to fight.

Looking at Liu Xiaoxian, whose face was flushed, Liu Yun thought secretly, took a sip of the tea handed by his sister-in-law, and Liu Yun said slowly: "You can't calculate my life, but you should always be able to calculate some other things." ”

"It depends on what it is."

As if guessing that Liu Yun didn't want to kill himself, Liu Xiaoxian's courage rebounded slightly.

"It's very simple, I want you to help me find Tang's natal exercises." Liu Yun smiled slightly.

"This" Liu Xiaoxian clenched his palms, his palms were wet with sweat, and he hesitated for a moment before he dared to say: "Yes, yes, but you have to promise me to let me go after helping you find the exercises." ”

Saying that, Liu Xiaoxian looked up at Liu Yun, even Liu Yun's face was full of haze, staring at her viciously, with a cold light in his eyes.

"I count, I count!"

Liu Xiaoxian shuddered and shouted repeatedly.

One misstep turned into a thousand years of hatred, this is really true, why did I provoke him in the first place.

Liu Xiaoxian couldn't regret it.

Sullen his head, pinched his fingers and calculated, and it didn't take long for Liu Xiaoxian to sigh lightly.

"Why, you can't even count this? Hmph, what's the use of leaving you. Liu Yun slapped the table heavily.

"Ahh Liu Xiaoxian was frightened by Liu Yun and exclaimed: "No, no, I found the exercise, but the exercise is actually hidden in the Qi Temple." ”

"Qi Temple? Where is it? ”

"On the outskirts of the city, on the outskirts of the northeast."

Leaving the concubine in the palace to watch Liu Xiaoxian, Liu Yun rode on the trophy he had harvested last night - Tang Yuzhen's earth-grade beast, the fire-avoiding golden crystal beast, and went straight to the Qi Temple on the outskirts of the city.

Martial arts exercises are broadly divided into two categories.

One is martial arts, "Thirteen Strikes of Shaking the Sky", "Three Mudras of Asking Buddha", and "Divine Bat Heavenly Gong" all belong to this list, which is used to practice martial arts. The other type is used to cultivate true qi and essence blood and improve the level realm, which is called the natal exercise.

Generally speaking, the natal exercises are simpler than the martial arts exercises, just the operation method of true qi and essence blood, and the trick of street connection, accumulation, breakthrough, and stability at each level of the realm. It is precisely because of its simplicity that compared with the openness of martial arts, the natal exercises are very conservative, and each family sect takes their own natal exercises closely, strictly guards them, and rarely spreads them.

The natal technique of Liu Yun Demon Dao is the Jiang family's "Jiao Demon Flying Heaven**", which is not the top in the evil Dao Demon Gate of the Tianque Continent, but it can also be regarded as first-class. As for the righteous path of cultivation, Liu Yun only relied on the true qi of Dugu Peak to operate on his own, and did not practice the natal exercises, so Liu Yun has been unable to do so, and he doesn't know how to practice breakthroughs, and the only breakthrough is by absorbing the ethereal jade bones of the Great Zen Head Temple.

The strong will return, and Liu Yun urgently needs to improve his strength to face the chaotic and uncertain situation in the future.

In terms of magic skills, there is naturally no need to worry, but the slow progress of Dao Gong makes Liu Yun very sad, which also makes him consider practicing a natal martial art.

And among the righteous path martial arts cultivators that Liu Yun knew, the fastest cultivator was Tang Yuzhen, who was the same age as Liu Yun, but he was already an eightfold initiator, and he did not lose to any genius of the Demon Gate of the same age. Tang Yuzhen's martial arts talent is good, but he can't be called a genius in a thousand, he is so fast, and it is not unrelated to the natal exercises he practiced.

The suburbs are not like the capital, with good underground drainage channels, and there is no stagnant water on the road. Liu Yun ran all the way through the muddy potholes, and the torrential rain made a lot of ponds and swamps on the outskirts of the city.

It didn't take long for Liu Yun to see the Qi Temple.

"Stop!"

Liu Yun slammed his head down and stopped in front of a huge temple.

The temple is red lacquered and golden, and there is an erected jade plaque hanging on the top, and the word "Qi Temple" is written on it. This temple is built magnificently, the temple gate is wide, enough to accommodate twenty horses galloping in parallel, more than ten zhang high, gold frame silver threshold, make people sigh the wealth of Qi Yue.

Using a special Mithril chain to tie the beast to the copper stake, Liu Yun swaggered towards the Qi Temple.

"Where is the natal exercise hidden?"

Pushing open the temple door, Liu Yun muttered to himself with his head sullen.

The temple was not as dark as he thought, and the candlesticks on the walls around it were flickering, illuminating the Qi Temple.

When he looked up, Liu Yun saw a strange person.

The man was tall and thin, a head taller than Liu Yun, wrapped in a pitch-black robe, but it gave people the impression that his body was a wooden shelf, and he was forced to hold up the black robe. And his face, shriveled and pale, had no sense of flesh and blood, and his skin was covered with bones, and his muscles were exposed.

If they were Liu Xiaoxian and sister-in-law, I am afraid that they would have shouted "there are ghosts" a long time ago.

The man in the Qi Temple was shrouded in a gloomy aura all over his body, and he was indeed very much like a long-faced ghost who ran out of the dungeon death hall, and the most terrifying thing was not his appearance, but what he was doing.

He stood in front of a cold jade long platform that exuded cold air, and used silver tongs to slowly fiddle with the ** corpse on the long platform, very attentive, and he didn't seem to notice that Liu Yun came in.

"Serving?" Liu Yun stared at Tang Yuzhen, who was already dead under the man's hand, and asked.

"The one who collects the corpse." The man's voice was cold and unwavering.

He put down the silver tongs, took two steps back, and looked at Tang Yuzhen with a peculiar eye, as if he was admiring a work.

"I'm from Tenkyo and just arrived last night. I was specially hired by the dynasty to collect the corpses of the princes, relatives of the emperor, and the children of nobles. In addition to transporting the corpse back to Tianjing to verify its identity, my duty is also to tidy up the appearance of the corpse, so as not to frighten the masters of Tianjing. The black-robed man turned his head and stared at Liu Yun: "It's the first time I've met someone who dares to talk to me when collecting corpses. ”

Only the locals of Yongjing will call the capital of Tianyong Tianjing, and the people of the vassal states generally call Yongjing.

"You said you arrived at the Qi Temple last night." Liu Yun looked the black-robed man up and down, and suspicion flashed in his eyes: "However, Tang Yuzhen died this morning." How do you know? ”

"That's why I'm called the ominous person, because I can smell death. The more precious his life, the stronger the smell of death when he is about to die. The black-robed man shrugged his shoulders and said.

"The smell of death, what does that smell like?"

"It smells, it stinks."

The light of the candle flame reflected the side face of the black-robed man, and when he looked closely, he was not very old, in his early twenties. But the tone of his speech is extremely sophisticated, and there are some vicissitudes, and there is a sense of seeing through the world.

Staring at Liu Yun for a while, the black-robed man suddenly said, "It turned out that you killed him." ”

Then he waved his hand: "You don't have to worry, I'm used to staying with dead people, and my mouth is stricter than that of dead people." When you came to Qi Temple, didn't you still feel angry and wanted to whip the corpse? You can also. But you can only whip the upper body, and I just sorted out the upper body. ”

Liu Yun shook his head with a smile: "I'm just here to find an exercise." People like you, who play with dead people all day long, probably won't know. ”

The black-robed man laughed, his laughter low and hoarse, a bit like that of a crow.

He took two steps forward, blocking the candlelight with his back.

"Could it be that you are looking for the Tang Clan's Ascending Dragon Emperor Monarch Gong?"

"I'm playing with dead people all day long, so dead people only talk to me."
