Section 178 The Long family went to the funeral

Long Xiaomo asked curiously, "What is it?" After all, the ghost saint has been unruly all his life, and what he left behind in the end is not trivial after all.

Nightshade stood up at this point, still looking very weak, and trembled to the corner of a ruined temple, and gently patted a pillar that looked like it was about to decay, and the dust on it was pouring down.

Nightshade muttered: "It's been more than ten years, it seems that this treasure is still here." As he spoke, he reached out like a hook and quickly plunged into the wooden pillar. The pillar was pierced into the palm of the hand like a piece of tofu. Nightshade's fingers took something out of it like an iron hook, and then gently stroked it inside his hand.

Long Xiaomo stretched out his head to look and found that it was just a square black iron box, and there was nothing special about it.

"When your father died, I thought that you were still very young, and the veins of your whole body were clamped. If you encounter danger, you don't have any power to protect yourself. So he left you a pill, this pill is called the Continuation Spirit Pill, which is transformed by the Ghost Saint with a part of his spiritual power. After you take it, this part of the spiritual power will lurk in your dantian, which can save your life at a critical moment. ”

Long Xiaomo said in surprise: "If I take this pill, won't I be invincible in the world?"

Nightshade said: "Your father worked hard and made so many arrangements during his lifetime, how could he let you be easily exposed. This pill, you have to remember, it can only be used to save your life, you take it first. I'll tell you how to use it slowly. ”

After Long Xiaomo heard this, he immediately swallowed this spirit pill into his stomach. Nightshade also sat behind Long Xiaomo, mobilizing the Origin Spiritual Power to help Long Xiaomo dissolve the pill. After some pranayama, Long Xiaomo felt that this pill had turned into an incomparably surging spiritual power, and under the guidance of Long Kui, it was slowly gathering towards his dantian.

Long Xiaomo felt that this spiritual power was very kind, as if his relatives were talking to him in the air. This spiritual power seemed to be constantly repairing his damaged meridians as it swam in Long Xiaomo's body, and then slowly swam towards his dantian, hiding in a hidden location in his dantian.

"Alright. After a cup of tea, Nightshade exhaled lightly and said lightly: "These spiritual powers are stored behind your dantian, when you encounter a crisis. When you recite the incantation, these spiritual powers will be quickly mobilized from your dantian. Let your spiritual power reach the top realm of Yuanying in an instant, such a power is almost invincible in the world. ”

When he heard this, Long Xiaomo was excited in his heart and said: "Then I don't want to fight invincible opponents all over the world, just like Li Yuanba back then." ”

Nightshade said, "Don't be mad, child. Your secrets, your father's secrets, you have to keep them firmly in your heart. It's just the three of us here, you, Xing Ling'er, and I know. Nightshade said as she looked at Xing Ling'er, who had been silent.

Xing Ling'er looked at Nightshade's eyes and nodded silently.

Nightshade continued: "The aura of the Continuation Elixir can only last for the time of one cup of tea, you should pay attention to this. Now come with your ears and I will tell you the mantra. ”

Long Xiaomo leaned over, and Long Kui said softly and asked, "Do you remember?"

Long Xiaomo said: "This mantra is so awkward, how can you remember it clearly at once." Nightshade shook his head with a smile and said, "Come here, I'll say it again." ”

Long Xiaomo listened patiently and said, "I still have a rough idea, father-in-law, tell me again." Father-in-law, father-in-law, father-in-law. Long Xiaomo shook Nightshade's body vigorously, but found that Nightshade no longer made any movements, and always maintained that kind smile on her face, but she was no longer breathing. He's dead.

"Father, father, father. Long Xiaomo and Xing Ling'er kept shaking Nightshade's body left and right, but Nightshade didn't have any reaction. Long Xiaomo still didn't dare to cry loudly at this time, but the tears couldn't help but flow.

Long Xiaomo is no longer the little shrimp of the year at this time, he is the chief scoop of the second largest gang in Chang'an City, the "Bombing Thunder Gang". So the death of Nightshade became a major event in Chang'an City. In the following days, all the people in Chang'an City went to Long Xiaomo's house to offer condolences. Even the crown prince Li Jiancheng and the king of Qi Li Yuanji sent people to send the couplet.

Li Shimin, the king of Qin, even led a group of generals under his command to form a mighty condolence group to go to the Long family to mourn.

When he was in Luoyang, Long Xiaomo had a good relationship with Yu Chi Jingde, Cheng Yanjin, Hou Junji and others. Hearing that Long Xiaomo's father died, these people naturally came to mourn one by one.

Li Shimin's situation during this period of time was not very good. He defeated Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, the two biggest rivals of the Li Tang regime, in one fell swoop, and the entire city of Chang'an was boiling.

During the few days that Long Xiaomo was in a coma in the Nameless Mountain, Li Shimin led the army to hold a grand entrance ceremony in Chang'an City, and Li Yuan led hundreds of civil and military officials out of the city for ten miles to greet him. Chang'an City is unprecedentedly boiling. When Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande's prisoner car was escorted into Chang'an City, it was even more unprecedentedly boiling. It seems that the Li Tang regime has dominated the world at this time.

But in the next few days, Li Yuan and the people in the city gradually cooled down, and then cooled down along with Li Yuan's attitude towards Li Shimin.

How to reward the world? Li Shimin's status is already second only to Li Yuan and the crown prince Li Jiancheng within the Li Tang group, and if this logic is deduced, it is not to pass on the crown prince's position to Li Shimin?

Lichang and Lixian are the confusion that lingers in the hearts of countless emperors. In Li Yuan's mind, it is best to maintain the current political pattern and not change. Because maintaining the position of the crown prince of the eldest son Li Jiancheng represents the rules, order, and public order and good customs.

Although Li Shimin's level and ability seem to be much higher than Li Jiancheng's at the moment, the level and ability are obviously a matter of opinion, and there is no unified standard. If Li Shimin is established today, will other princes make the same request if they make great contributions again? Therefore, for Li Yuan, the most important thing at the moment is to cool down and reduce the enthusiasm of the common people for Li Shimin. Although the Ministry of Rites drew up a reward plan for Li Shimin round after round, they were all pressed down by Li Yuan.

Who is Long Xiaomo? Well-informed and flexible, Long Xiaomo has not touched Li Shimin's moldy head for a period of time. So today, Long Xiaomo is only the first in Chang'an City

I met with Li Shimin once.

Since it was a white matter, the guests and hosts naturally couldn't talk about it, Li Shimin simply comforted and comforted Long Xiaomo, and then led his generals to leave. Before leaving, Li Shimin left two people to help Long Xiaomo, one was Xue Rengui and the other was Qingsi.

These two people are both young people, and they have a very good relationship with Long Xiaomo, so they also took the initiative to stay and help Long Xiaomo deal with some things at home.

According to the custom of Guanzhong, after death, the mortuary should be suspended for three days, and the filial sons and grandsons should keep the spirit. Although there are a large number of minions in the Thunder Bombing Gang who want to help Long Xiaomo guard the spirit, Long Xiaomo has not agreed. Although Nightshade is not his biological father, his feelings are obviously much deeper than his biological father.

Therefore, there were only two people in the huge spirit shed, Long Xiaomo and Xing Ling'er. After Long Xiaomo returned to Chang'an, Xing Ling'er slowly became gentle from the domineering heroine image at the beginning.

Long Xiaomo knelt on the ground, and Xing Ling'er knelt on the side, slowly leaning her head on Long Xiaomo's shoulder.

Xing Ling'er slowly recounted the situation of Zhihu at this time. Long Xiaomo listened while slowly adding lamp oil to the longevity lamp.

At this time, it was already a cold winter moon, and the heavy snow was falling, and the yard was full of white snow. Because the wind and snow were too strong, Long Xiaomo slowly approached the oil lamp and gently protected the surroundings of the oil lamp with his palm to prevent the lamp from being blown out.

Just as Long Xiaomo approached the oil lamp, the flames of the oil lamp suddenly burst up, half a foot high.

Long Xiaomo pinched a spell in his hand, silently recited a few spells, and then shouted a word, and the flame slowly stabilized.

During the wake of the spirit, there are often some lonely spirits and wild ghosts who come to make trouble and ask for some paper money, and at this time, some visions often appear in the spirit shed. Experienced old people often burn a little paper money for these troublesome lonely ghosts, which can be regarded as a peace of mind.

Long Xiaomo was born in the shadows, such a doorway is naturally very clear, after fixing the lantern, he grabbed a handful of yellow table paper and burned it in the brazier in front of him.

Long Xiaomo was burning, and there were words in his mouth: "Those who come from the south and go to the north, give me a convenient trip to the Long family." Those who go east and west, don't disturb the souls of the deceased. A little money, not respectful, after taking the money, please leave quickly. ”

After Long Xiaomo finished burning the paper money, he went to the longevity lamp to refuel again, but when Long Xiaomo walked to the lamp, the flames suddenly grew up again. Long Xiaomo was annoyed in her heart, and it was okay to come to the door to ask for incense, what does it mean to be so insatiable?

Long Xiaomo gently recited a few mantras, swept two fingers in front of his eyebrows, opened his eyes, and suddenly was startled.

I saw that the huge spiritual shed was full of ghosts standing on the ground, one by one, and it could almost be described as a building full of sweat cows. These demons were all expressionless, standing around silently, staring directly at the coffin of the nightshade, and did not speak, nor did they make any movements, only a buzzing sound came from the inside of their mouths.

Long Xiaomo arched his hand and said, "Everyone, all of you are guests. Let the juniors give some paper money again. ”

But the demons paid no attention to him.
