It is said that he also has the bloodline of a bloody horse in the Western Regions, not only in terms of speed and endurance far superior to ordinary famous horses, but the most rare thing is that this mule is extremely tame.

Of course, no matter how good this green mule is, for the people in the forbidden area, it is enough to pay attention to one point:

The green is Tong Guan Tong Xuanshuai dedicated to the official family!

Just like in the star chart, the stars of the three walls and the twenty-eight Nakshatras all revolve around the purple microstar. In the forbidden, whether it is the concubine or the inner servant Gong'e, all the attention revolves around Zhao Ji.

What books the official family reads every day, which Taoist books they copy, which new works they inscribe for the academy, when they drink tea, and when they eat, are all under everyone's attention.

Although as an official of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji's power far exceeded that of his father Shenzong Zhao Xu, and far superior to his brother Zhezong Zhao Xu, and his influence on the political situation made Renzong and Yingzong ashamed. Song Renzong was able to be spit on the face of Bao Zheng, and Song Yingzong was even threatened by Fu Bi in person, "Yi Yin's matter, the minister can do it", but if you want to put Bao Longtu and Fu Zhenggong in front of Zhao Ji, there is probably no other treatment to talk about except for going to the barren land in the south to gnaw wild fruits.

That's it, thanks to Yizu after the founding of the country, he left a tradition of not killing scholars!

But even if he is as strong as him, he is still helpless against this long-standing "palace culture".

Whether it is to recuperate in the Zhai Pavilion, summon Taoist officials to give lectures, or sit in the Qionglan room to draw a few flowers and birds by yourself, or hold the Dharma of Zhong Xuan, Erwang and other masters of the past dynasties, there is a heart between square inches, but you can always feel the slightly sneaky eyes of the inner attendants.

As a monarch of the country of ten thousand times, Zhao Ji lacks the steady bearing that a ruler should have, but as a talented man, he has a keen sixth sense and delicate nerves that belong to an artist.

Of course, he also has the forgetfulness and rough nerves characteristic of a prodigal, and many times, along with his desire to find new pleasures, those bloody thoughts of raising a big prison and investigating their crimes are naturally diluted or even forgotten in an instant, so that he seems much more generous and gentle than many emperors.

For Zhao Ji, riding a crane to visit Master Li at night is a part of healing his soul and enjoying a different kind of fun.

A small building on Maqian Street, a woman who is close to the world but real and vivid, to the rich Xuanhe Son of Heaven, is like Wang Youjun's Lanting Collection Preface, whether it is a copy of the craftsman's double hook or a copy of the old one, it is not as good as the real book that has been lost in the world.

For the Zhao official family, Concubine Liu, Concubine Cui, and Princess Wang are like those rubbings, imitations, and facsimiles, although they are also superior, but after all, they are not as good as Master Li who is blooming vividly in front of him.

But this flower would rather bloom alone in Maqian Street than go to the mountains and rivers that have been piled up with countless riches in Genyue to give it to someone to admire alone.

This night, Zhao Ji came abruptly, but Master Li's small building was still calmly prepared to welcome Zhao Guan's family.

Unlike ordinary people, this outer mansion and salon, which is called the Xingyuan and is actually the ****** of the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, has never paid much attention to folk customs.

There are no Ai Hu and paper charms hanging at the head of the door, and there is no realgar wine sprinkled in the residence.

In the small courtyard at night, there is only a moist smell of grass and trees, which is clear into the heart. On an early summer night, there are already grass insects rubbing against the sounder, announcing to the world that it is out of the ranks of single dogs.

Zhao Ji was wearing a green gauze coat, half-leaning on the couch, looking at Master Li who had washed the Mulan soup, and combing his hair like a cloud. Looking at the stems and green silks scattered on the white but faintly red skin.

This kind of gaze is not so much like a hairy boy in love looking at his lover, but more like a middle-aged collector who is playing with his favorite jade with his eyes - but this jade allows him to play with it, allows him to be nicknamed, but does not allow him to take it home!

After staring at it for a long time, Zhao Ji couldn't help but sigh softly: "God finally treats me well, outside the house, there is still a teacher to be my confidant and Taoist companion!"

There was nothing in front, and as soon as the word "Daoist" came out in the back, Master Li suddenly turned his head with a cold face: "I'm not your Yuzhen concubine, just a wisp of flying flotsam in the willows of Zhangtai, but there is nothing for this gentleman and that Yuke, who decorates a female fairy family for me, and it is useless to the immortal industry of the official family." The official family is an immortal, so he shouldn't walk towards a realm like me, and he didn't have to defile the official immortal body. ”

For Zhao Ji's harem, it is a deal that can make a powerful Taoist official perfunctory for himself as a goddess and decorate the immortal color of the Taoist Emperor and the Emperor. But when she came to Master Li, not only did she not flatter the Taoist officials, even if she was in the name of the fairy concubine sent by Zhao Ji personally, she threw it out by herself.

But Zhao Ji ate this set, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I said it wrong, if you can sit next to the teacher, what is it worth the nostalgia of the Heavenly Palace?

Seeing that Zhao Ji was about to swear a curse, Master Li stood up instead, walked to Zhao Ji's side, raised his slender fingers like jade shoots, and blocked his words: "But it's nonsense again." Are you just me again? The official family, the official family, you are in charge of such a big family, many children, and the entire Great Song Dynasty, all pointing to you to support you. It is my blessing that you can come to me from time to time. ”

Speaking of the back, Zhao Ji saw Master Li smile lightly, I don't know how many twists and turns of tenderness he hid, and he immediately felt that the world was big, but he was the happiest person. didn't care about the others, and pulled Master Li over, face to face, and warmed each other.

Zhao Ji is not ugly, and among the descendants of the Zhao family, who are elegant and handsome in appearance, he can be regarded as an exceptionally handsome one.

But for Master Li, whether this handsome, elegant, and intelligent man, although full of talent, and a little considerate to others, can be regarded as a lifelong dependence, that is another matter.

.........

Prince Lane, Cui Mansion.

In the back garden of Cui's mansion, there is an ancient tree, which is said to have been planted by himself on the day Li Congshan, the prince of Chu State, died.

And the first scoop of water that watered this ancient tree was the poisonous blood that Li Congshan vomited from his mouth.

At this moment, under the ancient tree, a Dharma altar has been piled up with blue, white, red, black, and yellow mud in all directions.

In the center of the altar, Liu Kangsun did not wear a Taoist crown or a Taoist uniform, his head was barefoot, and his body was draped with a wet red cloth, which revealed a smell of blood.

Under the earthen altar, there are stacked livestock that have been cut off one by one, cow heads, horse heads, sheep heads, rabbit heads, chicken heads, dog heads, pig heads are not falling, even rat heads, snake heads, monkey heads are also prepared, only tiger heads and dragon heads are not easy to find, can only be replaced by cat heads and lizard heads.

Between the heads of these animals that were dead and their eyes were open, Liu Kangsun looked at Cui Mingfu: "Uncle Cui Guo, the offerings are not yet complete, but how can the poor Dao open the altar?"

Cui Mingfu smelled the smell of blood in the air, resisted the urge to vomit, and reluctantly responded: "Mr. Liu, if you want these fresh animal heads, it's still easy to do, but a fresh dead person, where can I find it?

As he spoke, he saw the running steward in Cui's mansion, sneakily carrying two healthy servants, carrying a sack, bowing to Cui Ming's mansion and saying, "Uncle Guo, we have found the blessings." ”

After sending everyone away, Cui Mingfu looked around, took out a handkerchief with incense from his arms, covered his nose, and stepped forward.

The steward untied the rope knowingly, revealing a hideous, pale face from within.

"What is this?"

"This is Su Qi, the head of the group outside the Chenhui Gate, somehow, his body floated over the East Water Gate, and the blood on his body was gone. Not long after this guy became the head of the group, he was extremely ruthless and did a lot of illegal deeds, but he never left an heir, and at this time the family business could not be saved, and who else would bury him? I got this corpse from the human field. ”

The person in charge said a lot, and it was clear that he wanted to invite merit, but where did Cui Mingfu pay attention to this now? He just waved his hand in disgust: "Carry it away, go and show Mr. Liu, whether this dead man is suitable or not!"

Liu Kangsun sat on the five-colored earthen altar and said in response: "The leaders of the beggars in Bianliang are all concubines and criminals, who was not full of blood debts during his lifetime? Why don't you bring this guy up!"

After that, he didn't care about the matter, so he jumped down the five-colored earthen altar barefoot, grabbed the dead corpse's hair with one hand, and dragged the corpse straight to the middle of the earthen altar.

Stripping off the clothes on the corpse three times and dividing it by two, Liu Kangsun looked at Cui Mingfu and said: "Uncle Cui Guo, you are the donor, you can't leave, and the rest of the people in the mansion must close the doors and windows, and don't watch." Otherwise, don't say that you leaked the news, even if you peek at the poor way, you will have to die of a split brain. Having said that, I don't want to joke with you as a poor man!"

Cui Mingfu hurriedly shouted to the steward: "Did you hear it?" Why don't you retreat quickly, tell everyone to stand in the front yard, you are responsible for counting the number of people, there must be one!"

Cui Mingfu's words are quite insightful.

Even if the atmosphere is relatively open-minded and relaxed, such as the Northern Song Dynasty, it is particularly taboo for dignitaries and nobles to invite Taoist monks and monks to open altars at home. I don't know how many dignitaries, just because of this kind of thing, they were charged with a "witch Gu disgust", and beheading the capital is considered to be an ancestral virtue, and more of them are killed in a Ling Chi and waist cut.

And what Cui Mingfu and Liu Kangsun are doing at the moment is not an ordinary Zhaijiao ritual, just this scene is a real scene of curse and killing! If this is discovered, don't talk about Ling Chi, I'm afraid that Cui Guifei will follow and be tied up on the court!

Liu Kangsun didn't care about Cui Mingfu's arrangement, he picked up the blood-colored cloth on his body that didn't know how much blood was soaked and seemed to be unable to do anything, and his two bare legs crossed a half-pan and half-dancing sitting posture, and just sat on the corpse.

At some point, he had a small knife in his hand, the handle of which was a dragon-headed monster fish with an elephant trunk, and the half-moon-shaped blade was the long tongue spit out of the mouth of the strange fish.

Holding this sword, Liu Kangsun first saluted to the sky and shouted: "I am now pursuing the supreme and profound method, using all enchantments to overcome all evils, the first knot of the earth realm, the second knot of the void realm, the third knot of the mandala realm, the fourth knot of the square boundary, the fifth knot of the vajra wall, the sixth knot of the vajra hook fence, and the six-fold enchantment to get rid of all evils." ”

Immediately, he stretched out a finger and slashed towards the earthen altar.

Suddenly, with the movement of his fingertips, a deep soil ditch appeared around the earthen altar, forming a square circle.

I also saw that around the earthen altar, there were faint layers of light twists and turns, like the finest Persian glass cup, upside down above the earthen altar.

Then, on the surface of this earthen altar full of blood, lotus flowers were born for no reason, surrounding Liu Kangsun layer by layer.

In the end, a trace of distorted light appeared in the center of the earthen altar, just wrapping Liu Kangsun himself.

If Wei Ye was here, he would have seen it very clearly, from beginning to end, except for the five-colored earth altar, which had some faint Taoist colors, Liu Kangsun, a Taoist official who didn't even use the forbidden spell technique very exquisitely, was casting a mandala method that couldn't be more subtle at this moment!

You must know that it is not an easy task to set up an esoteric enchantment, especially the six-fold mandala enchantment that is heavily defended here.

Liu Kangsun first set up a land barrier to seal the earth qi under the tree, and also expelled all the spirits that were originally active in this land. If this altar is condensed into a vajra seat that can support the saints.

The second void enchantment blocks the passage of void ghosts and gods, the mandala enchantment is a pure place for all the sea saints of the Esoteric Sect to descend, the enchantment of the Fang Realm oppresses the four directions and four domains, and the Vajra Wall and Vajra Hook Fence completely protect Liu Kangsun, who presides over the rituals, in it!

With such a strict enchantment arrangement, even Wei Ye's old friend half-truncated Topian debate machine monk may not be able to do better than Liu Kangsun.

With the establishment of the sixfold enchantment, Liu Kangsun slashed the sword towards the east: "The great thunder and lightning of the East, the Thunder Emperor Shi Tian, is the evil of the East, and should appear in this position!"

Suddenly there was a thunderous sound, and between the lightning and lightning, a white lotus bloomed in the east of the five-colored earth altar, and a god king wearing a crown, revealing his strong muscles, and decorating his upper body with Yingluo, holding a vajra, appeared in the lotus.

Liu Kangsun slashed the sword towards the south again: "Those who are hot in the south, the fire is like the sun, and it is difficult for the south to appear!"

With the incantation, a red-fleshed ascetic brahmin appeared in the lotus flower in the southern part of the five-colored earth altar, and the scorching flames burned all around it.

Then, Liu Kangsun slashed the knife towards the north again: "The Northern Medicine Fork, the Yama Demon Dead Corpse Shape, is the Lord of the Northern Horror, and should appear here!"

This time, I saw a ghost king wearing a crown on his head, holding a long knife in one hand and a human skull bowl in the other, and the blood in the bowl was boiling, which made the black buffalo under his crotch keep licking the blood.

Three gods emerge. Liu Kangsun slammed the knife into the chest of the dead corpse under his crotch: "Three kinds of obstacles arise, three kinds of bad karma are born, I hope that Miao Lian and the sword will be born in the pure sea!"
