Chapter 248: The Empress Makes a Move
The news of the resurgence of gunsmoke in Jiangnan was urgent all the way, and finally arrived in Chang'an two days later.
The queen who saw the report before Tuoba Hong smiled uncharacteristically, and she ordered the eunuch to take the messenger down, while she held the report in her hand, and sat on the phoenix and went to the Danfang slowly.
Since Jin Xian entered the palace, Tuoba Hong has gradually become obsessed with immortality, if it were not for the fact that his sanity still exists, and the queen's resolute opposition, he almost issued an order to collect peach blossom blood throughout the country.
After this confrontation, even Xuanyuan Ancestor, who had already made Tuoba Hong obey him, had to admit that Queen Dugu was a powerful person. Although she is no longer beautiful when she is old, Tuoba Hong has always respected and loved her, even when she responds to Xuanyuan Ancestor's requests, she has never disobeyed the queen.
Luan drove all the way, majestic and unimpeded, but in front of the Danfang, he was blocked by two Taoist priests holding dust.
"Your Majesty and the Ancestor are discussing important matters in the Dan room, and the queen please go slowly. β
Hearing this, Dugu Mingjing, who was holding a newspaper in her hand, was still lazy, and she didn't even bother to give them a straight eye.
Seeing this, the grandmothers on both sides of the service stepped forward quickly, snapped twice, slapped the Taoist priest in the face, and scolded: "The fox and the fake tiger are powerful, even if you dare to stop the mother's Luan!"
It's a pity that Mama is the queen's personal companion and has always been commanding, but the Taoist priest who was slapped by them is also the confidant and beloved disciple of Xuanyuan Ancestor, and he is not inferior in terms of arrogance.
Even if they were told by the ancestors not to cause trouble in the palace, they were slapped by two big and three rough women, but they still couldn't help but distort their handsome faces, the corners of their mouths were crooked, and they scolded: "What a big pomp! It's a pity that this is a pure place, even if it is Your Majesty, you have to bathe in incense when you enter the Dan room." Niangniang has not fasted according to the rules of etiquette, and I dare not let Niangniang enter. In case it collides with the real fire, the elixir that has been raised with great difficulty is abolished, and His Majesty's hope for immortality is ruined, and we can't afford to lose our nine lives!"
"What do you mean by this! Dare to accuse Your Highness, you have turned the sky upside down!"
Even the palace concubine, who was just as respectful when she saw it, was not only ignored by the two little Taoist priests, but even pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, they suddenly felt angry, and almost ordered the guards to step forward and beat these two rebellious guys to death!
But Queen Dugu stopped them.
She had everything in her eyes from the beginning, sat on the golden screen chariot, played with her armor, and said coldly: "A thousand autumn events? Half of the country is about to be taken away, what is more important than this! You two get out of the way of me immediately!"
β...... Yes!"
......
......
Heng Ge was indeed very well prepared in the early stage, and when it was really launched, it actually led to a mountain trend, and even Li Yeyin admitted that he had underestimated his appeal a little. As for King Gangneung's retreat without a fight, it did not surprise them. But looking at the good situation, Li Yunuan faintly felt that things seemed to be going too well.
Feng Qingde sat bored in the pavilion and played a guessing game with the little Qilin, although the Qilin was small, but it was cunning in every way, after a few rounds, Feng Qingde actually lost a lot, so angry that he jumped to his feet, bared his teeth and scolded: "Cheating! It's not fun at all!"
"You're too stupid, hairy chicken!" said the unicorn unforgivingly, and after only a few months, its size was much larger than when it came down the mountain, and the small horns on its head grew more than an inch, and the majesty of the beast became clearer and clearer.
Looking at their frolicking appearance, Li Yunuan's heart was filled with unease, as if everything in front of him might pass away with the wind.
"Why are you so sad, do you remember the past?" Li Yeyin walked over from the bamboo leaves and asked softly.
"It's just a momentary sadness. Li Yunuan heard his voice, hurriedly wiped away his tears, and said, "By the way, last night, I dreamed of the Demon Venerable again." β
"Oh?"
"I dreamed that she was trapped in a labyrinth, surrounded by fog, and no matter how far she flew away, even forcibly blasted around, she couldn't get out. Her emotions seemed to be so intense that even when I think about it now, I can't help but beat faster. β
Hearing this, Li Yeyin nodded thoughtfully.
"I've had some weird dreams these days. I dreamed of the Heavenly Palace, I dreamed of the young evil brothers and sisters, and I dreamed of myself. β
"Yourself?" Li Yunuan was a little stunned.
Li Yeyin smiled bitterly and said, "I dreamed that I was trapped in an icicle, and my whole body was immersed in the ice blue water. Through the transparent ice, you can see the face of the moon god-kun. He reached out to me, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get past the transparent wall, and I could only see him talking to me, but I couldn't hear him or see his lips open and close. I yelled at him anxiously across the pillar, and I wanted to tell him that I couldn't hear me, but he seemed to have misunderstood me, and his expression became very sad, as if he was about to cry......"
β...... It's a strange thing. Li Yunuan said.
Li Ye groaned: "It's not strange, the Heavenly Palace has hidden a lot of secrets, not to mention that you and I both know that the Moon God Monarch is not really clear and flawless." It's just that later generations mythologized them, so that they were preconceived. β
"Yes, at least I suspect that the relationship between the Demon Venerable and the Moon God Lord is not as simple as being close friends. β
Li Yunuan casually broke a bamboo branch and gestured on the sand, "The exercises of the Moon God Monarch and the exercises of the Demon Venerable, after practicing to a certain level, the two complement each other, but the basic parts of these two exercises are actually opposite. Although it is said that the avenues will inevitably lead to the same end, it is ...... I found that the exercises created by the two of them were deliberately catering to and integrating each other's exercises from the middle of the way, and the strangest thing was that the way of the bright star crumbs could restrain almost all the Dao techniques in the world, but there was no attack on the exercises of the Moon God Monarch...... The most important thing is that the classics record that the Demon Venerable and the Moon God Monarch died together, and what we know is that there was another great battle that shook the past and the present before the duel between the two Tianjiao, and in that battle, they were allies and close friends after the war. β
"Yes, that's what has always puzzled me. Li Yeyin said truthfully, "In the memory of the Moon God Monarch, there are two sections that are classified as absolute forbidden areas, one is related to the Demon Venerable, and the other is related to the frozen man you saw in the memory of the Moon God Monarch last time. I suspect that these two memories are the key to unlocking the secret of 10,000 years ago. β
"When it comes to the key, I think of one thing. β
After that, Li Yunuan walked like the wind and drew the white bone altar that he saw twice on the wasteland and the black cross on it.
"Brother, have you ever seen anything like this? either in the scriptures or in the memories of the Moon God-King. β
Li Yeyin thought seriously for a while, and finally shook his head.
"I've never seen anything like it. But strangely, I feel inexplicably familiar with these things. β
"I've seen it twice, once in the North Stygian Ice Palace, and once in the Moon God-Lord's inner world. Li Yunuan said.
"Oh?"
Seeing that Li Yeyin was quite interested, Li Yunuan told Li Yeyin everything he saw and heard in the hallucination, and even the touch of the grass brushing his ankles, as well as the general placement of the skeleton, recalled it in order to help Li Yeyin make a judgment.
Li Yeyin frowned.
"Are you sure you didn't see the faces of the men in white and the men in black?" he said.
Li Yunuan said: "I didn't see it, although I thought it strange in hindsight, but I really didn't have the desire to see their faces clearly from beginning to end, and it seemed that I had already known them." In hindsight, it was about that the man in black had a lot to do with the Demon Venerable, and the man in white was the Moon God Monarch himself. β
When Li Yeyin heard this, he sighed: "I have long suspected that they have another layer of relationship, and now it seems that the truth may be buried forever." β
"What do you meanβ"
Li Yeyin didn't answer, he diverted the topic.
"How have the Jade Spirit Book and the Lotus Longevity Lantern fused recently?"
Li Yunuan thought for a moment and said cautiously: "The content of the spirit book is too obscure, and there are divine beast innate runes in the longevity lamp, and there is still a certain distance between the two from complete integration, but the longevity lamp has not rejected the spirit book so far, and it will definitely become one in time." β
"That's good. When the battle report arrives in Chang'an, Tuoba Hong will definitely send a large army to suppress it, and Xuanyuan Old Ancestor and Kuze Bald Donkey will also let their disciples set off with the army in order to continue to get the benefits of incense. β
"He wants to break the rules of the Xiuzhen Alliance?" Li Yunuan said in shock.
Li Ye said: "The rules are set by people, and they are naturally broken by people. What's more, the Great Xia Sect and the Yiyuan Sect have interfered with mortal dust for all these years, and they haven't seen the Xiuzhen Alliance come forward to say a word. β
When Li Yunuan heard this, he was silent, and when Feng Qingde saw this, he came up uninvited: "In other words, I won't have to continue to be so moldy and bored soon?"
"I have to comprehend the way of heaven every day, and I never get bored. It's just you, except for losing money with the unicorn, you can't find anything more to talk about. Li Yeyin said sarcastically.
Feng Qingde snorted and disdained to respond.
Li Yunuan glanced at the sun that was already in the west, and said: "I often feel that my mind is uncertain, and I always feel that something bad is about to happen. β
Li Ye groaned: "Recently, the vitality of heaven and earth has changed strangely, and it is not surprising that you will feel this way. β
Feng Qingde also said: "When I was separated from Nangong Boyu a few days ago, that little guy said something brainless to me, he said, in case the earth changes a day, go to the north, the north will have vitality." β
Li Yunuan said: "The north is the chassis of the eight great families, although I have another inside story about betraying the sect, it is not easy to be accepted by any of the eight great families in the north. By the way, it seems that the Unknowable Land has not been looking for my brother anymore recently. β
Li Yeyin said with a smile: "The master of Dianyu Mansion has always had great powers, if he really encounters something that he can't solve, even if he calls me back, it won't help." What's moreβ"
"What's more?" asked Li Yunuan.
Li Yeyin smiled: "What's more, I suspect that he has something to do with the Heavenly Palace. β
"You're saying he's from Heavenly Palace too?"
Li Ye was silent, almost everything that happened in the Unknowable Land, he instinctively didn't want Li Yunuan to know. Although he had always suspected that the young evil of the Wind Clan and the young evil of the Unknowable Land were the same person.
Li Yunuan saw that he was secretive about the affairs of the Unknowable Land, and he also sighed, and said, "I trust my brother's judgment. β
Then he returned to his room, meditated, and entered the realm of selflessness and forgetfulness.
