That night, Sha Tonghai hurriedly took a fast boat from Laizhou to Cuizhu Island, heard that nearly 100 Dongying people died in two days, and there was a martial artist, and the heart was very painful, and when they saw everyone, Hu Lao Dad and others added fuel and vinegar to say, Sha Tonghai is a perennial boat, and there are many taboos on this boat, especially the fear of ghosts and gods, so after listening to everyone's statement, he immediately ordered the daily supply of the camp to be sacrificed.

Although Zhong Xian felt that there was something strange in it, but after all, a hundred and ten lives were placed here, and he couldn't talk nonsense, and if he thought about it carefully, it was an accident, and it shouldn't hinder the big thing, so he didn't say anything. After arranging things, Shatong Haitian returned to Laizhou before dawn.

As for who went to place the sacrifice every day, it naturally fell on Ma Beibei's head, the reason is that the monster didn't kill him last time, and it seems that he won't kill him in the future, so he won't go to whoever goes. When Huang Shan heard this, he cried and screamed and took Ma Beifang's hand and didn't let him go, Ma Beifang had to say that when he got to the place, he threw the sacrifice into the ravine from a distance, and ran back by himself, and there was no danger in his plan, so he gave up.

After nightfall, Ma Beibei carried the live sheep and chickens to the water curtain hole. As soon as he entered the dense forest, suddenly a black shadow in the distance was as fast as a ghost, and by the night, he saw that it was Zhu Wuming, only to see that his eyes were glowing red, and his expression was hideous.

Ma Beifang knew that something was wrong, and immediately threw the live chicken in his hand into his arms, Zhu Wuming reached out to catch it, and immediately opened his mouth to bite off the head of the live chicken, and sucked the blood upside down, sucking the blood in a moment, and then reached out to grab the live sheep and bite the blood in his neck, and drank the blood in a gulp.

After Zhu Wuming drank the blood of the sheep, he threw the dead sheep to the ground and let out a sigh. sighed: "In the future, if you can't make it in time, don't come." I'm afraid I'm going to kill you. ”

Ma Beibei said: "What if I don't come to you?" Zhu Wuming said: "There are many beasts in the dense forest, I can always find some beasts to suck blood." It doesn't matter to me what blood is. As long as there is fresh blood, sometimes I have to drink rat blood. The words reveal helplessness and sadness.

Because everyone was afraid that Ma Beibei would encounter something wrong, they were still waiting in the martial arts training camp, he didn't dare to delay for too long, Zhu Wuming taught him a few mantras, and asked him to go back to practice on his own and come back tomorrow. When he hurried back to the martial arts training camp, everyone was relieved when they saw that he was unharmed. They all dispersed to sleep, but Ma Beifang couldn't sleep, waiting for everyone to leave. Immediately close the door and jump on the bed to meditate cross-legged, according to Professor Zhu Wuming's method, try to run the inner breath.

The method of this practice is also really strange, the ordinary internal breath operation is from the dantian, running in the second vein of Ren Du and then entering the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, but this exercise requires the breath to start from the dantian and first enter the eight veins of the Qi Jing and then summarize and return to the dantian with the second vein of Ren Du. Ma Beifang has been practicing the Mixed Yuan Gong for many years, and he is already handy at controlling the internal breath, so it is not difficult to guide the internal breath into the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, but the difficult thing is that the heart is extremely awkward during the operation. There are many illusions and distracting thoughts, disturbing the heart. In less than a moment, he was sweating profusely, and the qi and blood in the dantian were tumbling very uncomfortable, and he almost gave up, but he gritted his teeth and persevered when he remembered that the revenge had not been avenged.

Time flies. Before you know it, it's almost the agreed period of one year. Li Chongyuan and others traveled to several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River but found nothing, not only did they not find the slightest trace of the enemy back then, but they did not even hear of the whereabouts of the White Snake Ghost Sword. I had to return all the way north from Qianzhou. During this time. Li Chongyuan and Lin Qingli had early feelings for each other, and they had intentions in each other's hearts. However, Lan Wutong was inseparable, and the two wanted to have a moment of warmth. is always disturbed by Lan Wutong intentionally or unintentionally, so it is not embarrassing.

When they arrived in Chang'an, it was already mid-June, and the three of them had no acquaintances in Chang'an except Li Chongjun, so they went straight to Weiwang's Mansion to meet them. There are eunuchs from the Yellow Gate who enter and pass it on. After a while, the eunuch hurried out, and said with a smile on his face: "My housewife was very happy to hear that several distinguished guests were visiting, and specially asked the old slave to put on the word 'please', and the master mother invited the distinguished guests to enter the house, and entered the house with the old slave." "Bow down and lead the way.

Zilan had already been waiting in the courtyard far away, and when she saw the three of them, she was overjoyed, Li Chongyuan and Lin Qingli immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Senior sister." Lin Qingli even hugged Zilan directly, laughing and jumping. After the two laughed and made trouble, Li Chongyuan introduced Lan Wutong again. After entering the house, he saw that Li Chongjun was not in the house, so he asked where his senior brother was.

Zi Lan was originally full of smiles, but when she heard this, her expression immediately dimmed, Li Chongyuan's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "Could it be that Senior Brother ...... to you", Zi Lan shook her head and said: "Your Senior Brother is very good to me, it's just ...... , alas!" sighed heavily. Li Chongyuan couldn't help but be anxious, and said: "What is the matter with senior brother, senior sister should say it quickly!" Zi Lan smiled bitterly: "If you want me to say, I don't understand, but after your senior brother became the crown prince, he was depressed, and he entered the palace every day to ask his father for peace, and when he came back, he was full of sadness." Sometimes I shut myself in the house and smashed things, I asked him, he didn't say anything, the world said, 'The wealth of the world is nothing more than the hidden dragon in the East Palace', alas, in my opinion, it is far less happy than in the Tianshan Snow Peak. After that, he sighed faintly and sadly.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Chongjun came back from the palace, and everyone looked at it, but saw that Li Chongjun's face was black and yellow, and his expression was melancholy, where was the heroic and heroic senior brother Li Jiu in the Tianshan Sect Mingxin Cave. Li Chongjun was naturally happy when he saw everyone, and ordered the dining room to arrange a dinner, but when he pushed the cup and changed the lamp, he could see that Li Chongjun was forced to suppress the anger in his heart, so that he fell drunk on the table after drinking only a dozen bowls. Zilan had no choice but to order someone to help him go to the bedroom to rest.

After using the tea. Li Chongyuan said: "Senior sister, why did senior brother become like this?" Zi Lan wept and said: "Senior brother, I really don't know, but I see that every time he comes back from the palace, he will be like this, and he won't say anything when I ask him." He once went to the Criminal Department to check the file, wanting to help you find out the murderer of the year, who knew that there was no record in the Criminal Department at all, and for this matter, he was also referred to by the Criminal Department Lang, saying that he interfered in the criminal prosecution. Alas, the officials in this court were polite to him on the surface, but in fact they were rejecting him. And they sighed for a long time, and went back to their rooms to rest in peace.

In the early morning of the next day, after Li Chongjun finished washing, he entered the palace to meet the emperor. Because he did not hold an official position in the court, he could not go to the main hall and could only go to the harem to greet him.

After Li Xian retreated from the court, he came to the Lintoe Palace, and Empress Wei ordered someone to help Li Xian into the hall, Li Xian has now become obese, his face is dull, he can barely stand on his own, and he relies on the support of the guards around him. When Li Xian sat down breathlessly, the eunuch reported: "The prince asks to see him." ”

Empress Wei waved his hand in disgust and said: "I come every day, I am really not ashamed, I don't know if the mourning family is upset when they see him!" Li Xian looked at Empress Wei timidly, and Empress Wei said impatiently: "Forget it, let him come in, kowtow, and leave quickly." Wang Zhong, the eunuch who was close to him, took a few steps to the door of the palace and shouted in a sharp voice: "His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is here." ”

Li Chongjun followed closely behind the little eunuch, entered the main hall, saw Li Xian and Wei, knelt down on his knees and kowtowed: "The child has seen the father and mother, I wish the father and the queen mother ......" Before the words were finished, Wei interrupted irritably and said: "Forget it, your filial piety, the emperor already knows, you can step down." Li Chongjun was just about to speak, "The queen mother has already asked you to step down, why don't you leave?!" A harsh voice came from the apse, and then a young girl walked up from the apse, this person was Princess An Le. She relied on her mother's doting and never took Li Chongjun in her eyes, and she and her concubine Wu Songxun called Li Chongjun "slave" in person many times.

Li Chongjun's heart was full of anger, he tried his best to suppress his anger, kowtowed to Li Xian and said, "Child, retire!"

Princess An Le said angrily: "What a country boy! I don't even know a little bit of etiquette!"

Webster smiled: "Good boy, why do you remember to be a mother?"

An Le turned his anger into a laugh and said, "The child has a good thing, and it is good for the father to cover the jade seal." ”

After that, he took out a Huang Ling roll from his arms, snuggled up to Li Xian's side, opened the back of the roll but covered the front, and said, "Good father, you can cover it for me." ”

Li Xian laughed happily and said to Wang Zhong: "Go get the jade seal and cover it!"

Wang Zhong bowed and said: "Your Majesty, according to the ancestral example, if the jade seal is used, the cabinet elders must be summoned and read it out in public. The emperor is clear. ”

An Le said angrily: "Wang Zhong, you are just a slave of our Li family, you can do whatever the master tells you to do, where are there so many things!"

Although Wang Zhong is a eunuch, he is part-time the head of the marching army of the right Yulin Guard, the commander of the Daming Palace and other positions, and his identity is extremely prominent, but he was scolded by An Le so much that he was bloody, and he stood there embarrassed.

Seeing this, Empress Wei said to Wang Zhong: "The prince doesn't have to mind, there is this palace in charge, and the prince asks to move the jade seal." ”

Wang Zhong had no choice but to bow down and retreat. After a while, he came to the hall with a wooden box inlaid with red sandalwood inlaid with both hands, gently opened the wooden box, uncovered several layers of yellow cloth, white as mutton fat, condensed as a fish brain, the Nine Dragons Pearl Lion twisted his head and the flame Ruyi jade seal appeared in front of him, Wang Zhong took out a white handkerchief from his arms, wiped his hands carefully, and then bowed down in front of the jade seal.

An Le hurriedly said: "Wang Zhong, what are you doing!" Wang Zhong said solemnly: "The jade seal is a treasure of the country, Wang Zhong does not dare to be disrespectful, the little master can wait patiently for a while, and after Wang Zhong finishes worshipping, he can ask for the jade seal." ”

An Le said angrily: "This is my family's utensils! I want to use my hand to take it, who can endure such trouble!" After that, he pushed Wang Zhong away, took the jade seal out of the wooden box with both hands, and covered it Huang Ling's scroll, and then picked up the jade seal and threw it back into the wooden box, Wang Zhong shook his head and sighed on the side.

Wei reached out and took Huang Ling, who had been covered with a jade seal, and when he opened it slightly, he saw a line of words on his head, which read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict, Princess Zi Anle is docile and respectful, and she is filial and compassionate." can be the heir of the Li family, and he was ordered to be crowned the imperial princess ......". Wei Shi was shocked in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged, and he said to Wang Zhong: "Princess, please go back to the jade seal! No one is allowed to go to the palace without being summoned!" Wang Zhong bowed and retreated. (To be continued......)
