Seeking Immortals

Chapter 23
After asking about the fake spirit root and the blood spirit formula, Li Qing didn't leave the Martial Pavilion immediately, but planned to learn some exercises to make his attack and defense methods more comprehensive.

Li Qing deliberately selected a few of the top lightness kungfu, swordsmanship, hidden weapon and other kung fu skills, and also selected them.

After selecting the exercises, Li Qing searched again and said: "Master, is there any exercise in the pavilion that allows the heavens and humans to return to life?"

Although Li Qing can be a real man in the next life, it would be great if he can show his glory in this life.

Master Kurong closed his eyes and turned back: "In the second and fourth brocade boxes on the left side of the third floor, there is a Sutra of Restoration of Origins, which was created by an old eunuch in the previous dynasty for the return of heaven and man. You can't live in the harem, and you must be protected by the side of the Holy One at all times to avoid promiscuousness in the court."

"Forget it."

Li Qing immediately copied the Fuyuan Sutra, secretly delighted.

As for the skills of cultivating immortals, Wu Pavilion does not have them, and Emperor Jianwu is probably looking for them too.

……

In the blink of an eye five months have passed, Li Qing has learned a lot of the martial arts obtained from the Martial Pavilion, and he will slowly hone them in the future.

Time to enter August.

On this day, an unfortunate news came to the cold palace.

Zhang Yong died at the age of 65, which is considered a happy funeral.

But Zhang Yong did not die naturally. During the day when he was selling brine, Zhang Yong was taken away by thieves in the street, and then his body was burned in the wild.

Later, the police quickly found out that the thief was a disciple of the White Lotus Sect.

"Hey, Master Zhang, the dog-like White Lotus Sect!" Hearing the news, Gong Yue cursed.

Gong Yue worked with Zhang Yong, but Zheng Chun, another eunuch, did not know Zhang Yong.

But Zheng Chun also said sadly: "The White Lotus Sect first took Master Zhang away, it seems that they came here just for Master Zhang, and Master Zhang's son and buddy are fine."

Holding the chess pieces, Li Qing was also thinking about the White Lotus Sect.

He is now the son of Li Qing, so it is not appropriate to mourn Zhang Yong's death with Gong Yue.

"The death of Yongzi may have originated from the noble concubine Li. Yongzi once delivered meals to the noble concubine Li."

Needless to say, Zhang Yong's being targeted by the White Lotus Sect must be due to his background in the cold palace.

Li Qing woke up suddenly, in the past few years, he had forgotten the names of some old friends in the cold palace, maybe they were all killed by the White Lotus Sect.

The White Lotus Sect still hasn't given up on the matter of honoring noble concubines.

The White Lotus Sect has a fake spiritual root inheritance, Li Qing boldly guessed that the former Concubine Li had already refined the fake spiritual root.

In order to find the spiritual root of the noble concubine Li, the White Lotus Sect assisted Lu Xiang to storm the palace and slaughter the concubines and eunuchs of Lenggong.

however.

Where did Concubine Li's tongue go?
Over the past few months, Li Qing did not forget to inquire about the events of that year, but the people at that time were almost dead, and no one knew about it.

too long ago.

"If I were outside the palace, I should be hunted down by the White Lotus Sect now."

Li Qing once again expressed his affirmation of his choice to enter the palace. With his eight meridian top cultivation base and intensive study of the top kung fu of each school, he is not afraid of the White Lotus Sect even if his innate talent is not there, but there is always danger.

"Will Wei Yang get it..." Li Qing had an idea.

With Wei Yang's means, there is such a possibility.

The only problem is that Concubine Li's tongue was broken before she entered the cold palace.

Only when Concubine Li cut off her tongue and hid it, Wei Yang had a chance.

"Is it too far-fetched to cut off your tongue? How can there be such a practice in the world?"

It's not difficult to destroy the tongue, Li Qing's Roushui Qiduanjin can do it, but it can't cut it off at the root, and it can't stop the bleeding after the tongue is broken.

Li Qing couldn't even guarantee that he would survive after destroying his tongue.

"It doesn't seem to be necessarily the case. There can be reincarnation exercises such as the Fuyuan Sutra, and it is not unreasonable to cut off your tongue!"

Li Qing's thoughts froze.

It is assumed that the tongue of Concubine Li has spiritual roots.

The Daqian royal family definitely did not get the tongue of the noble concubine, otherwise Emperor Jianwu would not have used war to find false spiritual roots.

Ouchi probably didn't either, otherwise Grandmaster Rong Rong would have sent his spiritual roots to Emperor Jianwu to stop the war.

Li Qing is more inclined, except for the White Lotus Sect, no one else knew that Li Guifei had a spiritual root.

Not to mention that Concubine Li is just a saint and not the leader of the sect, and because the matter of false spiritual roots is a secret among secrets, even the emperor is hard to know.

Li Qing quickly came to the Martial Pavilion and began to search for the Tongue Severing Technique.

as predicted.

Half a day later, Li Qing found a copy of Tongue Severing Art in Wu Pavilion.

Tongue breaking exercise is a method of cutting the tongue with internal force, which can reduce pain and stop bleeding automatically.

"In this way, Wei Yang is the one most likely to win the imperial concubine's tongue."

……

The autumn of the tenth year of Jianwu.

Zhenbei King Wei Nu led an army to break through the imperial capital of the Moon Kingdom and captured the Moon Emperor's daughter, Princess Yueling.

The Emperor of the Moon sent envoys to seek peace, willing to be a subsidiary state of Dagan, and respect Dagan as a superior state.

Emperor Jianwu agreed.

In the spring of the following year, King Zhenbei brought Princess Yueling back to Beijing.

In the same month, Emperor Jianwu abolished the empress for ignoring the king, put the abolished empress into the cold palace, and appointed Princess Yueling as empress.

On August [-]th of the same year, Emperor Jianwu ordered another general at the southern campus of the capital, and the king of Zhenbei would conquer the kingdom of Hara in the west.

On the day of Zhenbei Wangxizheng, every house in the capital was closed, chickens and dogs were banned, which was in stark contrast to the empty alleys of the past.

Holding the token with the dragon pattern, Li Qing also left the palace at this sunrise.

Three years have passed since Zhang Yong's death, since Li Qing began to suspect that Wei Yang got the concubine's tongue, he quietly went to the usual places in the palace where Wei Yang might hide things.

Nothing after the fact.

In the end, Li Qing suddenly remembered Wei Yang's farewell to him back then, and asked him to bury Wei Yang's body and his sister in Luobai Mountain.

The burial of Wei Yang and his sister may have other meanings.

Because of being stared at by the White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus Sect has an innate master after all, so Li Qing should not go out of the palace at ordinary times.

On the day selected for King Zhenbei's westward expedition, Li Qingfang left the palace.

The generals of the Western Expedition, Emperor Jianwu personally went out of the palace, and the capital was under martial law, so it was safe.

Li Qing hadn't left the palace for eight years, what he saw on the road was completely different from the past.

There are more Hu merchants, and the nobles are more expensive, but the people are even poorer.

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

There was no light in the eyes of the people, only a trace of uneasiness.

It's funny to say that during the Taikang Dynasty, Emperor Taikang ignored the government for more than 30 years, and the women of the two harem fought for power in the court. However, the world was peaceful, the people were healthy, and the rich were like crucian carp crossing the river.

In the present Jianwu Dynasty, Emperor Jianwu acted arbitrarily, monopolized the power, expanded the territory, and displayed the style of a great country, but the people became more and more unbearable.

Undoubtedly, the common people would scold Emperor Jianwu behind his back: "Emperor Dog!"

The change before and after, but ten years.

Li Qing shook his head, and came to the small courtyard in the capital that he had bought. After some dressing up, he changed into a brand new old look, and then left the imperial city.

Li Qing is naturally proficient in disguise.

All the way safe and sound, Li Qing arrived at Luobai Mountain, in front of the unnamed grave of Wei Yang sister and brother.

Li Qing bowed three times first, then put incense on the grave, arranged the sacrifices, and then said: "Little Weizi, I just gave you a chance to get out of the cold palace and introduce you to the martial arts. After the tattoo badge and the twelve gold needles are done, it has already been paid off."

"I'm here today just to confirm a past event. Please forgive me if I offend you."

"If there is reincarnation in the world, you have to seek reincarnation, and I will seek immortality and attain the Tao in the future. If there is fate, I will definitely lead you and your brother into the gate of immortality for one lifetime, and I will pay for today's sin."

Li Qing bowed again, saluted three times, and then removed the sacrifice.

A 'up'!
Surging internal energy poured out from Li Qing's hands, separated the soil, and a green wooden coffin slowly rose from the ground.

Wei Yang's sister had a grave but no coffin. Li Qing took her bones and buried her in the same coffin with Wei Yang.

A sound of 'open'!
The green wood coffin was opened.

In Li Qing's eyes, Wei Yang's body was as intact as before. After 11 years, Wei Yang's body hadn't melted, and there was no smell of decay.

Li Qing was delighted to see it.

The spiritual root body can automatically inhale spiritual energy. If it is hidden in a corpse, it can keep the corpse from melting for a hundred years.

Li Qing still doesn't know what will become of the corpse after a hundred years.

But Wei Yang's appearance proves that there is a spiritual root hidden in his body.
