mountain god dance

In Luoyang, which is like a spinning top, after the [-] night drums seven days ago, only the autumn wind remained.

Banquets and silk bamboos are suspended, the West Garden is closed for night drinking, the lanterns are dimly lit, and the crows fly away in the wind. The 27-foot Vientiane Shrine is like a flourishing rosette in the night, carrying white flags hanging down to keep watch.Jin Wu intensified the patrolling, and they dragged their footsteps to check all the streets near the imperial city. Anyone who went to the streets without a night order would be punished with a cane.

The Hanguang Palace near the west gate has been destroyed. If a thick whip fell from the sky, it cut off the palace and broke the middle of the palace, and then several forces appeared in time to stop its actions, trying to stop the intruder in the second palace outside the wall.The two sides kept fighting and confronting, the cornice of the colonnade above it collapsed on the left, and the jade railings below it were scattered on the right.The Chunjing Rongxi painted by the craftsman on the palace wall is split into nine sections, as if an earthquake just roared into aphasia, leaving evidence of poor quality products.

The man in plain white onyx squatted on the ground, licking the soil with his fingertips and sniffing—it was mixed with the breath of evil things, ferocious, tragic, with the blood of the longevity clan, and the abjection of death.

As soon as Li Zhu passed away, the imperial city in the midst of the national mourning was attacked by aliens. Luoyang seemed to be surrounded by tigers and wolves.

When Shan Mi stood up, his expression became serious. He underestimated Xiaojun's strength. This ghost king at least killed five immortal masters who could use strange arts in just a short moment before the Imperial City garrison arrived. There are more than a dozen imperial guards, but he didn't get any good results - what support does he have to dare to come rashly, is he really sure to be able to compete with the defense of the imperial city?What did he see and turn around?

...By the way, maybe the fake mountain god got outdated information. Many people claimed that the first emperor went west to Fulin for [-] years and did not return. He disappeared into the empty palace in Chang'an together with the ten strongest guards of the Longevity Clan. inside.They didn't know when they came back, where they went, what they got, and it was always inconvenient for them to spread the news to Dali, let alone to the snow-capped mountains.

It is expected that Xu Jian stole the imperial treasure but was not tracked down, there must be a secret reason, what is it...

Shan Mi pinched his fingers back and forth to count the variables, and he began to suspect that some of the scenes shown by the coral hanging mirror could most likely be influenced by Xu Qiniang.

Yes, it should be so.Xu Jian was determined to be a traitor to the Li family, but on the other hand, as a sister, he had to show his loyalty to Li Ying in order to preserve the family status.She deceived the fake mountain god thousands of miles away, and tricked him to Luoyang to give him a blow. It not only showed that the family had nothing to do with the ghost king, but also gave a big gift to the immortals in the Southwest... It was sent by force, and if you don’t want it, you have to, of course. The water gods can easily retreat from Xiaojun who is in poor condition, but what will Li Ying use this as a handle in exchange?

Just for a while, Shan Mi had already thought a lot. He always thought it was too coincidental to meet Li Ying when he went to Qingyao Mountain last time. Is the two words he gave himself a gesture of favor from the king, or was it a sign that the two forces were about to come? Confluence, so actively promote cause and effect?It is not a wonderful thing to have the best of both worlds when the king starts to focus on theocracy.

"I really don't want to involve my hometown in the emperor's calculations."

Shan Mi looked at the roof of the glazed palace reflecting the light under the moonlight, and said to herself: "Baigu, what should I do brother, I always try to be brave in front of you, pretending to be able to bear everything, but brother also has many difficulties When it comes to courage, you are bigger than many people, how many dare to climb Tianshan Mountain alone?"

Shan Mi escorted Xu Jian into the palace from the southwest by himself. There were immortal techniques and magic weapons to help him on the way, and it didn't take too long. .

When entering the palace gate for the first time, the carriage with the words "Heng Tian Jian" thanked Shan Mi repeatedly, and wanted to take Xu Jian to his sister's territory.Shan Mi told a few people about the scandalous things this person did in the southwest, and asked how to deal with this person in the future. The guards said that Xu Zhenren also obeyed the orders of the Emperor of Heaven, and did not dare to make decisions privately.

At this time, four silent pale palace ladies came out from the corner, holding a blue and white fluorescent lamp in each hand, flashing the cold light in the night, like four dead people holding funeral lamps and crying for their souls.After paying respects to Shan Mi, they formed a circle and bowed down. Immediately, flowers appeared in front of them and their robes fluttered. These four maids took him to Yuanliang Sheren's residence, one of the Xiaxing Palaces, in an instant.

The four maids completed the tasks they had given them, and turned around and turned into four palm-sized round paper money, which floated away. It should be the alchemist who will serve ghosts who ordered the wandering spirits to attach to them, for them to drive and do things.There are also palace people who are not surprised to bring warm water teacups, this time they are some normal people.

They wore sackcloth, girded their waists with thick ropes, their lips and eyebrows were unpainted, and their dishes were full of coarse grains and wild vegetables.Explain in a low voice while arranging:

"The Emperor of Heaven decreed that all officials and palace officials in the world must observe a heavy mourning for three hundred days, and they are not allowed to eat meat, sweet flavors, condiments, or fine noodles. Therefore, we only prepared some tea and light meals for the immortals. Other guests are not even allowed to drink tea. , can only drink unboiled well water and river water."

Not being able to drink tea in the near future means that the tea god has lost some "sense of touch" in this strange place.

But just now he was curious about Li Ying's title, and asked, "Is it called the Emperor of Heaven now?"

The palace man was young, and when he mentioned this, he lowered his head abruptly: "Yes, it is the emperor of the Daguang Dao of Shenwu, the most holy, please wait a moment, the immortal."

The Ministry of Rites was busy preparing for the funeral, and suggested to the princes and vassals that the year name was unknown, and it really had to be changed.But Li Ying, who had not heard from him for many years, suddenly appeared, and the courtiers all pretended to be deaf and dumb, and continued to use the year name changed when the youngest son died.

In the autumn of the 42nd year of Tianhuai, Li Ying didn't hand over the throne to others. He threw away the power in his hands, and his eyes didn't seem to fall on any place in the world.

Just waiting for concentration, Shan Mi, as the god in charge of the growth of herbs, is sensitive to the sudden death and violent life in this palace. It is impossible for a baby to be destined to die.

"The blood secret technique of the longevity clan?"

Sugi frowned slightly, this is the power that is almost shoulder to shoulder with the gods, and they even surpassed many supernatural powers in terms of changing fate.

He inevitably thought of his brother again.

Ever since Baigu made up his mind to practice offensive and life-killing methods in the technique, he either stored energy near his spiritual eyes to solidify his soul, or practiced his moves hard.Bai Wo built a martial arts arena for him, and every day after his younger brother came to test his skills, the land was uneven as if it had been plowed by ten oxen overnight.

The technique is a powerful method, and under the circumstances that the cultivation base and supernatural powers are not enough, Baigu has to arouse all the power in an instant to be powerful.This kind of quick and explosive magic was used too much, and Baigu gradually suffered from headaches, and the little man sat on the ground listlessly, unable to lift his arms.In this way, someone has to watch by his side, lest his luck will be poured out and he will lose his mind.

His father and his brother had alternated in this job, but with the arrival of Jindian, Baigu's energy was different, from a listless villain to an active villain, obviously Because of the great eccentricity, he always went to He Bo to talk to him, and fed him the first mouthful of the soup.Sugi was so angry that he thought to himself what is this, as an elder brother, he still has to restrain his behavior and let him love others, it is better to see it than to be blind!

Bai Wo could see that he would rather work alone, and asked him how to deal with this situation with a disappointed expression.

"How can I deal with it? If I were an ordinary person, I would be able to fight hard against my opponent, show off my energy, and have the confidence to win two rounds. But that's not the case, the timing of the fall does not allow me to do this, so I can only say the right thing, Do the right thing."

Bai Wo said even more bad things: "Having a son is an eye-opener for a father. He has a fresh personality that he hasn't seen in thousands of years. He can't be an official, but he has the hobbies of an official."

Then he seemed to doubt himself: "I must have played less."

Instead, Shan Mi persuaded him: "Uncle, I don't care about how close I am to Baigu now, you are always my benefactor, and he is always my younger brother. At this point, if the immortal nature is trapped by human affection, what can I do?" How could De be able to sit on the divine title and obtain this immortal law? My master is going to point his nose at me and scold me."

Bai Wo figured that he would stay until after autumn to settle accounts, so he said, "Alright, you can go to Luoyang first, and you can handle everything by yourself."

Just as he was thinking about it, Shan Mi heard a deep male voice coming through the window: "Don't sigh when an immortal drinks alone."

The maids on both sides stepped forward to open the door, and the Heavenly Emperor in a black robe appeared.When he walked in, he brought a faint bloody wind, like the disasters caused by him followed like a shadow, and followed up to this point.

Sugi looked at him, and this person still had an extraordinary appearance, which made his handsome look a bit arrogant.

Li Ying said casually: "Immortals dislike the lack of refreshments, are you bored? Just because I lost a few confidantes a few days ago, I just went to replenish the manpower. The imperial guards need to practice formation, so the number is naturally more complete."

After explaining, the two bowed to each other, and Li Ying ordered people to bring cakes and sweets, honored guests are important, and funeral ceremonies are not restricted.

"They thought it was unlucky for the widow to kill too many people in that palace, so they moved to Shendu. Unexpectedly, the Shanshui people are gone. Where can they go now?"

He waved away his attendants with a slight taunt, and sat cross-legged opposite Shan Mi, intentionally probing: "The immortal knows how Shan Shui died."

Say the simplest things in front of complicated people.

Shan Ya answered truthfully: "Xiaoxian has been walking in the mountains, so she really doesn't know something."

"It's okay, just take a guess."

Li Ying doesn't seem to be suffering from the loss of his son, he is very interested in investigating this issue: "Your master will definitely teach you the method, and we are not in the relationship between monarch and minister, just say it boldly."

Shan Mi recalled it carefully, and it seemed that the master really didn't teach him, so he shook his head lightly: "Isn't it sick? Could there be a murderer? Luckily, Xiaoxian is not Qiniang's opponent. To find out the murderer, Xiaoxian is not as capable as Dali Temple .”

Li Ying shook her head: "Look at the one who is afraid of you, is the widow so scary?"

Shan Mi smiled and said a few excuses: "Xiaoxian really doesn't know."

Li Ying approached him, whispered a few words, the words were scary: "Shanshui was killed by a widow."

Sugiya heard almost the biggest secret in the whole world, her pupils dilated immediately, and she almost saw the fangs protruding from her lips when she smiled.

He lowered his eyelids to hide: "Xiaoxian knows, but...doesn't understand."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand." Li Ying straightened up and poured water for him. "They are all entangled family affairs. The widow said this because he was talking to the immortal as a friend."

Shan Mi was about to yell in her heart, I don't want to be your friend, don't tell me!

Having said this, Shan Mi might as well bite the bullet and continue talking: "Family matters, that little prince also..."

"Once?" Li Ying closed her eyes, "No."

"Their mothers are sisters. I sent Shanshui down to see that since he can't understand the emperor, he can go and talk with his younger brother."

He spoke casually, as if he was sending Li Zhu to Yangzhou to visit relatives.

Sumitomo thought for a while, and suddenly came up with an idea: "Your Majesty, did you find a clue to find the soul in the underworld?"

Because the Longevity Clan explored much more about life and death than they did.Shan Mi has always wanted to understand, and also wanted to beware of this kind of secret technique, but Li Ying was unwilling to say more about it.

"Not to mention, it's just an attempt."

He straightened the ruby ​​ring on his left hand, and talked about the purpose: "You sent Xu Jian and the coral hanging mirror, and the widow opened the treasure house for you to choose one of them; the widow helped you hurt the ghost king, and I want to ask the immortal for one way."

When the time came, Shan Mi was already prepared in her heart, she nodded and said: "Of course, Xiaoxian will try her best to repay."

"Then, please tell me..."

Li Yingzheng said: "Tell me how to imprison a god."

... Sugiya felt that she was still not ready.

This is almost god-killing apostasy!He was surprised and silent, not knowing how to answer, this was obviously not the content of the transaction he expected.

Li Ying guessed what was wrong by looking at his expression, and then added: "The widow wants this condition, and it is definitely not against you. How can I discuss the matter of framing in front of the immortal. Although I envy your stature and luck, but the widow There is no rush for quick success.”

Shan Mi regained her composure, and asked directly: "Who is your Majesty going to use? Xiaoxian will gamble his journey to immortality if he does such a thing. Besides, I must return to Shannan to discuss with the gods."

"It doesn't have to be that troublesome."

Li Ying's black hair is very long, and it still hangs down to the back after being tied into a bun. He hooked a strand and cut it off, tied a knot at random and placed it in front of Shan Mi:

"If the widow hurts any of you, use it as a curse."

Sumito didn't move, and was even a little wary of the black hair: "Please speak, Your Majesty."

"The widow mentioned to you before that there are several big countries west of the desert, and they have a common place of worship called the Tongtian Tower."

Li Ying stared at Shan Mi, the eyes that were originally as quiet as a child's night gradually burst into light, and those eyes that never stopped in the world unexpectedly found a place of focus:

"I want to imprison the angel of the sky who lives on the top of the tower, the first immortal in ancient times, the real man of God. As far as I know, he has divine powers beyond occult and fairy arts, and directly communicates with the founder The right to dialogue. I need him to bring me luck one day later, so that I can survive the calamity... The widow is looking for this person, not you."

These words were uttered word by word, rumbled and washed in Shanmil's ears, and he couldn't help but have a premonition: the sacred peace in the mountains outside the mountains will one day be affected and severely damaged by other existences. Had to come because something was tilted.

These gods will either change or disappear without a trace.

Are you willing to disappear?Baigu has just embarked on this path, he can't let his brother go to a dead end, he will make a choice for this.

"Xiaoxian doesn't know the specific steps, but you can try." Shan Mi thought about a roundabout way: "But the price of the answer is too high, it takes time, and more help from His Majesty is needed."

"can!"

Li Ying readily agreed, and directly took off the ruby ​​ring on his hand and handed it over: "The immortal can come directly to the widow with it. If you need anything, just mention it."

Shan Mi catches it slowly, always feeling that this stone has some characteristics of a mountain soul: "It's strange... Xiaoxian looks at it, it seems to be a living thing."

Li Ying smiled: "This stone is very precious, it can help you block an attack, and it can also heal wounds, just like the original one."

……

Many people don't know that Heng Tian's supervisor is underground.

The Hengtian Supervisor in the palace is just a facade, the place where Xu Qiniang practices is the underground lake near the foot of Mang Mountain.

Looking at Qiniang's face alone, she feels independent and not in the world of mortals, but what she predicts is all kinds of mortals, and the waves are surging, how can she leap out of it.

Li Ying gave her another mission, a Si Zhenfang mission.

At this time, she was floating ten feet above the round lake, sitting in cross-legged formation, the surrounding ground was engraved with symbols in gold powder, and a white banner with sutras written on it hung down from the sky, like a spirit guard.

Xu Jian, her own brother lay struggling among these symbols. He felt so painful that he was about to be torn apart, but the words were so tightly attached to him that he couldn't even roll over.

All I could do was wriggle, pant, and shout.

"Sister! Sister!"

He yelled: "I'm in so much pain! Please, I know I'm wrong, sister, let me go!"

Xu Qiniang had no expression on her face, she muttered the mantra, she saw the ferocious blood vessels on the back of her brother's hand almost burst, her eyes were grimacing, she still wanted to read on.Li Ying's secret agent is here, and she can't stop.

"Sister—" There was a scream, and the younger brother's nose was sunken, and his lips were close to the gums.

"I don't want to die! Help me! Why don't you look at me..."

Xu Jian's eyes hurt more and more, his body seemed to have shrunk, even smaller, how could he stand with tall people.He's dehydrated, his skin is crystallizing, he's getting a little sheer, maybe he'll look good in the sun.

"Sister, sister..." He kept begging for mercy, his voice gradually becoming rough and dull due to the hardening of his vocal cords.He didn't want to ask for help, he only had memories in his mind.

Xu Qiniang's eyelids twitched, and her vision was a little blurry.

"Sister, you know why I left... He killed Weiyu, and everyone died in order to be buried with his son. She was so happy when she entered the palace... She would be very happy to be a beauty... I, I am so happy Hate Li Ying... sister, you can go too... don't die..."

"Sister... I'm sorry, the ghost king refuses to be my backer..."

A quarter of an hour after the sound died down, Xu Qiniang fell from the sky, as if a fairy had come to the world.She silently walked to her brother's clothes and picked up a gem from it.

"It's His Majesty's favorite red."

Before Xu Qiniang could hold it enough, two or three craftsmen took it away, and they passed it on to each other, looking at the firelight again and again: "It's very beautiful, as expected of the pure Xu family, and the color is very beautiful."

They would take the gemstones to the corresponding workshops, where someone would cut and polish them and make them into different accessories, some of which would be sent to Li Ying, and some would be distributed together with the monthly salary to officials of the Longevity Clan above the second rank.

The craftsman glanced at Xu Qiniang before he left, and felt sorry for her situation: "I will save a piece for you, don't think about it."

Li Ying's spies are still hiding here, and Xu Qiniang couldn't cry when she heard these words.She could only think that she had at least saved her family and other people.
