I was an immortal emperor in the Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 362 Zhong Kui Eating Ghosts
On the square in front of the main hall, the aura turns into auspicious clouds, and the dense aura fills the palace. Cranes can be seen wandering between the sky and the earth from time to time. Here, even those who don't know how to practice can prolong their lives by breathing in the aura of fairy spirits.

Normally these ministers came here in groups of three or four, discussing with smiles on their faces, but today, everyone showed worry on their faces, and even the aristocratic families who had never been seen before came out. There was a trace of heaviness on his face.

"Look, Master Lu is back, it seems that the matter is true." At this moment, everyone saw the cabinet in the distance walking over with six ministers, and looked at the thin-faced old man in front of them, and they took a deep breath. In his tone, Lu Miaozi was still in Wuyi Mountain, but he did not expect to appear at this time, which showed that the rumors in the market were true.

Wei Yuancheng and the others watched with cold eyes, with a hint of disdain on the corners of their mouths.

"They're all here, let's go in!" Lu Miaozi greeted everyone with a smile, as if she didn't see the uneasiness on everyone's faces.

Many ministers did not dare to be negligent, and followed them into the Zhenguan Hall. They first bowed to the dragon chair, and then stood in order according to the ranks, waiting for the start of the court meeting.

Many ministers in the cabinet sat down on their chairs. Lu Miaozi glanced at everyone and said with a light smile, "Although the old man came here in a hurry, he also knew the situation in Beijing. crashed."

"I would also like to ask the elder to show you." Wei Zheng came out and said.

"To be honest, in the past, unless His Majesty appeared, it would be difficult for us to justify such rumors, but now it's different. The golden lamp Your Majesty left in Fengtian Palace has not been extinguished, which means that His Majesty's life is not in danger. His death is probably a rumor from others." Lu Miaozi said disdainfully: "Your Majesty has great supernatural powers. We are able to enter the world of cultivation, ride the clouds and ride the fog, and live a long life. It is all thanks to Your Majesty. Those people in the world don't believe it, but we wait for it. It should be believed."

"Elder Ge's words are true." Changsun Wuji nodded again and again, and said, "Although I don't know where the rumors in the market come from, and there are rumors in the market, but in my opinion, they are all based on nothing."

"Although it's not all rumors, some things can still be told. Your Majesty should be trapped in a certain place. He probably won't return to Chang'an in a short time." Shi Zhixuan didn't hide Yang Guang's situation. It can't be hidden, and in that case, it's better to say it in advance.And he also wanted to catch the person behind him.

"This matter can be spread, after all, it is the truth, there is nothing to hide, and we should trust His Majesty, His Majesty will come out sooner or later." Di Renjie said solemnly.

"The purpose of summoning all of you today is to inform His Majesty on the one hand, and on the other hand, when His Majesty is away from the court, the court must not be without a master. Although a prince cannot be appointed, it is still possible to elect a prince to supervise the country." Lu Miaozi looked around and said: "Today, His Majesty has two..."

"Old Lu Ge, you are wrong. Your Majesty has four princes." Wei Kuangbo suddenly came out and said loudly: "The government and the public have already known about this matter. King Yue and King Dai are both His Majesty's sons."

"Wei Kuangbo, you are presumptuous, you can say such shameless words, and you still don't back down." Wei Zheng was furious, and coldly snorted: "You, Webster, are also from a famous family, how can you say such shameless things."

"Second brother, you step back." Wei Yuancheng stood up, looked at Lu Miaozi indifferently, and said, "Several elders, gentlemen, it's fine if it's an ordinary matter, but this matter is different, Lu Miaozi Your Excellency also said that His Majesty is trapped. To be honest, we don’t know if we can get out of the trap. So, today’s prison may be tomorrow’s crown prince and tomorrow’s emperor. Don’t we need to discuss such a big matter? What? Whether Dai Wang and Yue Wang are the princes or grandsons of the emperor, they are both adults now and are qualified to inherit the throne."

"That's right, that's true." Yuan Qiu and others also nodded, no matter what Wei Yuancheng's purpose was, this point was not wrong.

"Dai Wang and Yue Wang have good qualifications, and now they have reached the Yuanying realm, shouldn't they have such an opportunity?" Wei Yuancheng sneered: "Your Majesty only has two princes with good qualifications. The first prince believes in Buddhism and will become a monk in the future. Of course he doesn't believe it. As for the other one? It is rumored that a vision enveloped the palace when he was born, but don't forget that he has the blood of the demon clan. Your Majesty and the demon clan are incompatible. Will the throne be passed on to an heir with the blood of the demon clan?"

"Master Wei, it's over." Shi Zhixuan glanced at the other party with an indifferent expression.The person in front of him might be a black hand.

"The next official is finished." Wei Yuancheng looked at Shi Zhixuan's eyes, feeling a little flustered in his heart, but when he thought of the people behind him, his face returned to calm.

"Whether it is the monster race or the human race, one thing will not change, and that is His Majesty's son. No matter from what point of view, he is the supervisor of the country. Beng, is this throne determined by us? It's just a supervisor, not even a prince, right? Ladies and gentlemen." Shi Zhixuan's voice was indifferent.

"The lower officials agree." A stout-looking man stepped out. He looked like a general, but in fact, he came out of the sequence of civil servants.

"Zhong Kui, do you have a place to speak here?" Wei Yuancheng became angry from embarrassment.

"What's wrong with the lower official? The lower official is also a subject of His Majesty, why can't he speak? Prince Xuan is His Majesty's blood, what kind of monster blood, can that change the facts? The human race is brilliant, and the situation is surging. How can Prince Xuan change this general situation? , Abandoning the ancestors and throwing oneself into the arms of the demon clan, not to mention that I will not agree, even the White Lady will not agree." Zhong Kui retorted loudly.

"Such a big matter, such a small censor dares to speak rashly. I think the Sui court really has no rules." An indifferent voice sounded, and a golden-armored god-man came out of the void, and the whole body was shocked. Immortal energy is lingering, golden light is shining, and the bearing is extraordinary.

"The villain has seen the immortal." Seeing this, the Wei brothers hurried forward to greet him.

"Where did Shangshen come from? Why did you come to Chang'an?" Seeing this, Lu Miaozi's expression changed slightly, and he exchanged glances with Shi Zhixuan and others.

"This seat comes from the Heavenly Court, and it conveys the will of the Emperor of Heaven. Yang Guang has no way, and abolished the throne of Emperor Sui, and it is passed on to Yang You." The corner of the mouth of the golden armored man showed a hint of sarcasm.

"Hmph! Don't say that the Heavenly Court and the Great Sui do not belong to each other. The Emperor of Heaven has no right to interfere with the replacement of the throne of the Great Sui Dynasty. Even if he had this power, the Emperor of Heaven would not pass down such absurd decree. Who are you? How dare you pretend to be a god of heaven? " Zhong Kui reprimanded loudly.

"A mortal, how dare you offend Tianwei? Your soul will be relegated to Jiuyou." The golden-armored god-man shot out a golden light from his eyes, and hit Zhong Kui in the middle, killing Zhong Kui in an instant. Entering Jiuyou, only to find that Zhong Kui's true spirit has disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared before.

"Huh! Could it be that my divine power has increased again?" The golden-armored god-man was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly put it aside. He is just a mortal, even if he has practiced, he is still a mortal.

His soul was gone, and Zhong Kui's true spirit moved with the wind, and he didn't know where he was. He only knew that the surroundings were dark, chaotic, and the wind was blowing everywhere.

"Why? I just did what a courtier should do. This is the Great Sui Dynasty, which is the territory of the human race. The gods are high above, but what right do I have to intervene in the affairs of my human race. I, Zhong Kui, are unwilling!"

"If you don't agree with each other, you will be killed on the spot. Is this still the court of heaven? I, Zhong Kui, don't want to despise the human race. I don't care about life."

"There is also Wei Shi, what kind of aristocratic family, who has benefited from His Majesty, but betrays His Majesty, kneels to meet the gods, how can he have the aura of a race. It is really shameful, I Zhong Kui is not willing!"

"I have a great age, and now I am meeting the Holy Monarch, and I have done something, but now I am killed by the evil god, I am not willing!"

Zhong Kui's true spirit is as real as it is, his eyes are like copper bells, his whole body is burning with flames, covering his body with the red official robe, he looks very mighty, and he is shrouded in evil spirit without taking a step.

"There is a lonely ghost here, hey! The evil spirit is soaring, and the words are so unwilling, there is a grieving ghost, just right. Let's go, follow the uncle for a while, the Black Mountain Ghost King is hungry." A few little ghosts came, some with gourds, some with soul-hunting flags, and some with Yin hooks. Seeing Zhong Kui's appearance, they immediately swarmed up and prepared to take Zhong Kui away. ,

"The ghosts and monsters also want to arrest this official." Zhong Kui saw flames spewing out from the tiger's eyes, and he looked terrifying. Seeing this, the little ghosts all showed worry on their faces.

"You little ghosts who eat people are like that evil god. You eat others, but have you ever been eaten by others?" Zhong Kui saw it clearly, and suddenly grabbed a little ghost in front of him with his right hand.

The little ghost didn't care at first, but when he saw flames flying across the opponent's big hand, before he got close to the ghost body, the black mist on the ghost body disappeared like white snow meeting sunlight.

"What kind of flame is this? It's not good. Let's go." Seeing this, the little ghost lost his mind and prepared to run away.

"Where are you going?" Zhong Kui subconsciously took out the official seal from his waist, and slammed it at the kid.

"Town!" The brilliance on the official seal flickered, and the golden light enveloped the little ghosts, instantly freezing the little ghosts' figures.

"Shangxian, spare your life, Shangxian, spare your life!" The little ghost suddenly felt bad, and suddenly begged for mercy loudly.

"Begging for mercy, it's useless. If you say eat you, I will eat you." Zhong Kui stretched out his big hand, passed through the golden seal, grabbed one of the little ghosts, and stuffed it into his mouth. After eating, Zhong Kui felt much less unwilling and angry. , and ate up the other little ghosts, and the unwillingness and anger disappeared without a trace.

"It turns out that I'm already dead, and now I'm still eating ghosts." Zhong Kui returned to normal, looked at himself, and suddenly smiled bitterly: "Forget it! From now on, I will specialize in catching and eating ghosts." Zhong Kui took the food in front of him again. The gourd, the pennant for holding the soul, and the Yin hook are put away.
