Chapter 18: The Tomb of the Immortal Emperor

"Report, my lord, the brothers have found something strange in the suburbs of Beijing, and please move to decide one or two." The leader of the Murong family's secret guards had a gloomy look on his face, knelt on the ground and asked for instructions, and reported the situation to Murong Zheng.

According to the situation described by Murong Zheng recently, he took his subordinates to wander around Jiankang City to find something unusual, and they really found a place, an abandoned Yizhuang on the outskirts of Beijing, and at night there was a sound of clouds and cranes chirping, coupled with the rumors of ghosts sucking people's blood and digging people's blood recently, the nearby residents were panicked and fled from this place with their families.

The Murong family, a family of cultivators in the north, was accustomed to supernatural and mysterious things, so they naturally scoffed at this kind of scary trick. But when he led his men to investigate deeply at night, he found that every time the moon was like practice, the blood-red light would spread all over the sky, and the whole Yizhuang seemed to come to life, and the ground rumbled, and the howls like beasts kept coming.

The leader of the Dark Guard used a secret method to drive the earth dragon to dig deeper into the ground to find out the situation, and the ground was full of corpses, and there was a small amount of breathing.

One of the corpses turned its head to look at him with a strange smile, and a wisp of his soul was attached to the earth dragon, and after this glare, he seemed to be nailed to the spot.

The dense corpses made people's scalps tingle, and there were such powerful and amazing monsters hidden underground, the leader of the secret guard did not dare to make a decision privately, so he hurriedly asked Murong Zheng to go over in person.

I heard that Tao Hongjing was taken to the palace by the princess to recuperate from his injuries, and there are many masters in the palace.

Murong Zheng had to come up with this strategy, busy with the powerful in the capital, taking this opportunity to spy on the secrets of the palace, in order to ask for the identity of often entering the palace, just when he was dealing with the prime minister, he was annoyed by the Tai Chi he played, and when he heard about it, he was satisfied in his heart.

Near the abandoned Yizhuang, the moonlight casts an eerie shadow through the pale clouds, reflecting the black tombstone even more terrifyingly, and the wind blows, emitting a terrible low moan, as if there are countless ghosts crying.

Murong Zheng quietly waited for the red pillar of light that his subordinates said to appear, today was a fifteenth moon night, the moon was extraordinarily round, and there was even a dark red halo on the outer circle.

The mass grave seemed to have sensed it, and at this time it came back to life, and the sound of "dong dong dong" was like a deafening heartbeat. Murong Zheng tapped his toes lightly and stood firmly on the top of a big tree to observe the changes in the surrounding environment.

The moon became more and more red, and after about half an hour later, the red pillar of light suddenly erupted from the back mountain, and a corpse crawled out of the coffin, horizontally and vertically, the corpse maggot mixed with pus and blood dripped on the ground, their eyes were hollow and numb, and they got up slowly, they didn't pay attention to the obstacles under their feet at all, they fell and got up, got up and fell, and so on, without a trace of sanity, Murong Zheng frowned, the performance of this monster was not half different from the one he had encountered in the alley before.

The corpses let out a strange roar and stumbled in the direction of Jiankang City.

"Follow the corpses to find out what is going on, and if necessary, you can use fire to injure them." Murong Zheng gripped the hilt of the knife tightly and commanded in a cold voice, cold sweat sliding down his forehead.

The dark guard received the order to retreat and gradually disappeared into the night, while Murong Zheng hesitated for a moment and decided to go to the back mountain where the red pillar of light was emitted.

There was silence in the mountains, and there was not a hint of wind. The trees are still, and the insects are silent. A round moon, through the clouds, was white and eerie.

The mountain foxes and wild cats in the cemetery, their fur stained with phosphorus powder from dry bones, jumped and ran, emitting ghostly fire, floating in the distance, jumping up and down. The lights and the ghostly fire are hard to tell each other, and the scene becomes even more eerie.

The huge pillar of red light gradually became weaker, and the afterimage turned into a red thread and drilled into the void, and when Hong Murong Zheng saw this, his steps accelerated, and he finally found the source of the pillar of light in the back mountain in about half a moment.

This is a quaint Taoist temple, the overall shape is straight and stretched, the ridge end eaves angle is slightly upturned, the ridge decoration is simple and unpretentious, it is made of blue bricks, bluestone and glazed tiles, the whole building has no beams and wood, and the structure is rigorous. Murong Zheng looked at its architectural form and thought that the Taoist temple in front of him seemed to be in the style of the Han Dynasty.

In the twilight, the courtyard was empty, the eaves of the temple were hung with blood-red lanterns, the window lattices were tattered, and the mountain wind made a terrible cry through the small holes. Murong Zheng leaned against the corner of the wall, observing the surrounding environment tightly, and he gently pushed the half-hidden firewood door, and made a "squeak" sound to break the silence of the night.

The yellow flags floated lightly, and there was a thick layer of ash piled on the desk, which had not been cleaned for a long time, and behind the three unburned incense sticks of different lengths, there were several spiritual positions.

Murong Zheng approached, opened a fire fold, and blew it over, and dust rose everywhere, revealing the gilded inscription on the spiritual seat.

Murong Zheng raised the candle and leaned over to carefully examine the contents, and the words on the spiritual seat were scanned from top to bottom, and none of them were missed.

"Emperor Wu of Han Xiao."

"Arctic real people."

"Ancestor Li Shaojun."

……

When Murong Zheng read it in a low voice, it seemed that there was a faint aura condensed and rising in the danta field, Murong Zheng was surprised in his heart, worshipping ancestors or immortals, and being able to obtain the power of earth immortals to feed back and nourish the temples of the family, generally in the place of feng shui treasures or set up by the masters to absorb the essence of heaven and earth.

Located in the back mountain, this small Taoist temple is not as simple as it seems, and between a few breaths, he changed the scenery step by step, and turned the Taoist temple all over the place.

A total of three Qings are enshrined in the Taoist temple, and what attracts attention is that one of the gray golden sculptures flashes golden light from time to time at the spread palm, Murong Zheng looks at it carefully, this is the trace left by being often wiped or touched.

Murong Zheng took a step forward and put his hand on his palm, the two seemed to have a connection, the statue's fingers suddenly curled up, Murong Zheng's hand was tightly held, he couldn't break free, he secretly used some spiritual power.

Murong Zheng was also strange, since he used his spiritual power, the stone statue let go of his hand, and then rumbled, and the walls behind the stone statue that were more than two feet old retreated from both sides.

In front of him is a dark and narrow passage of the secret room, Murong Zheng walked for a long time, and found that there was a cave in the sky after this temple, and the more he walked, the more open it became, and what appeared in front of him was a unique cave and another wonderful world.

Behind Murong Zheng was darkness, but the entrance of the cave in front of him was sprinkled with sunlight, cutting at Murong Zheng's feet in a dim and dim, and there were four big characters inscribed at the entrance of the cave: Tomb of the Emperor.

When Murong Zheng walked in, this mausoleum was different from what he imagined, the huge golden silk sandalwood coffin was held up in the air by the clouds, and the unknown white creatures floated in the air, and the whole world presented a strange and mysterious beauty.

Murong Zheng tried it for a while, and after shooting down the white creature, it turned into white qi and disappeared, and he knew that this was another heaven and earth derived from the Dao method, and it could run such a huge fantasy realm secret technique, Murong Zheng recognized it as a master from the bottom of his heart.

In the middle is a 20 zhang high immortal Cheng terrace, with cedar as the hall beam, 10 miles of incense, Murong Zheng performed light skills on the stage, wanting to see the entire mausoleum at a glance.

Li Mubai was wearing a white robe, he was meditating with his eyes closed, Murong Zheng thought it was a phantom, stretched out his hand and sighed under his nose, and found that there was warm breathing, so he hurriedly compared.

Li Mubai may have entered the realm, and a nightmare suddenly appeared in his heart, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, Murong Zheng guessed that the illusion was woven by him, and did not take advantage of the danger when he was not paying attention.

On a platform below, there is a young woman sleeping, her eyebrows are gentle and elegant, her hands are hanging down at her sides, her long black hair is scattered on her shoulders, and the Tsing Yi group is stretched out on the table, and the whole person is like a splashed ink landscape painting.

But her face was as pale as paper, and there was no blood on her lips, Murong Zheng used a wisp of spiritual power to search for souls, and after a while, he was shocked, the woman in front of her was really a dead person, and there was no soul left in her body, she was really an empty shell!

*

Liu Yu sat on the dragon chair of the imperial court, the bright yellow robe was embroidered with the pattern of the dragon of the sea, and the clothes and accessories were gorgeous and public.

Jiang Jiangui's affairs gradually came to a dead end, Li Mubai, who claimed to be the first person in the world and the resurrection technique, has not given him exact news so far, every time he asks him, he says wait, wait, but he didn't wait for it to come out, but he gave away a lot of rare treasures in his treasury.

He was irritable, but during this time, he didn't know who started it, and they handed him the folds in front of him to ask for the queen.

The noise gave him a headache, and he waved his hand to signal the eunuchs to silence them. "Silence—" The little monkey pinched his throat, and his shrill voice reached every corner of the hall.

The hall was quiet, and no one spoke again, "Your Majesty, the matter after the establishment cannot be delayed, the royal heirs need to spread out the leaves, and the harem cannot lack the master of a palace!" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu took the lead in kneeling down to plead, his eyes were red, as if Liu Yu did not agree, and the next second he was going to raise his sleeves to wipe his tears.

The cat cries and the mouse is fake compassion, who doesn't know that he is thinking about the law to send the people around him to spy on him.

"Oh, do you have any recommended candidates?" Liu Yu's eyelids lifted, and he asked hypocritically, these people all thought he was a fool and fooled, and waited for the day when he fully grasped the power, and then he would solve all these annoying people to get rid of the troubles in his heart.

"Back to Your Majesty, Xi Ye's daughter Xi Wei was born with crape myrtle from the sky, and she was born with a phoenix life, maybe you can consider one or two."

The woman named Xi Wei is the daughter of Xi Ye, the former prince, and her mother is Princess Xunyang, the daughter of Emperor Liu Yilong of Song Wen, not only from a famous family, but also knowledgeable, gentle and polite, and slim, everyone who has seen her thinks she is the first beauty in the south of the Yangtze River.

No one noticed that when Xi Ye heard the news, his face turned cold and hard, and his smile on others was a little perfunctory.

is indeed a good candidate, you and I argued in the court one by one, Liu Yu originally wanted to be whoever it was, and bluntly refused, showing that he had a bad heart for Jiang Jiangui.

But when he heard Xi Wei's name, he hesitated in his heart, and even Ruan Dianfu under the court glanced at him, signaling him not to be impulsive and to be cautious in his words and deeds.
