A knife in love

Chapter 1796

Originally, Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu had been looking around in front of the stone gate, but they searched for a long time, but they didn't find anything weird.Two large stone gates tightly closed the tomb passage, the left and right ends were embedded in the stone walls on both sides of the tomb passage, and the bottom end was closely attached to the ground of the tomb passage, leaving almost no gaps.The top is in the shape of a half moon, which is combined with the ceiling of the tomb passage.Although there is a thin gap between the two stone gates, it is narrower than a hair, even the swords in the hands of Xiao Dong and Murong Danyan cannot penetrate into the gap.

Qi Jiu was also a little frustrated at this time, he lowered his voice and said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, behind the two stone gates, there must be natural stones blocking it, with the strength of the few of us, we will definitely not be able to open the middle gate. It seems that we can only exit the tomb passage, and then think of other ways to escape."

Li Qiufeng was also hesitant at this moment, thinking that with the method of the general of the Liao Kingdom imprisoning dozens of skilled craftsmen, he could only escape from the tomb and find another way out.The five of us are far behind them. If we want to find a passage in the tomb passage, it will be more difficult than reaching the sky.At present, two or three hours have been spent in the tomb passage, but nothing has been achieved.It seems that they can only retreat to the platform in the pool, and then try to escape from the big stone cave.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking about it, he overheard Wang Xiaoyu telling Murong Danyan the story of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, and he couldn't help but startled.After he listened carefully to a few words, he thought to himself, it turned out that Miss Wang had also heard the book "Tang Taizong's Night Tour to the Underworld".When I was listening to books in teahouses and restaurants in Gaoliang River, a storyteller commented on the entire Journey to the West, which was very wonderful.Although Ms. Wang's voice is immature and she added a lot of things she imagined when she told the story, her words are fluent and can be regarded as fascinating.

Only Wang Xiaoyu continued: "Emperor Taizong thought he was just having a nightmare, and his heart finally returned to his stomach. It's just that when he opened his eyes, he saw that the room was full of imperial doctors. Empress Changsun and the prince were also surrounded by the bed, weeping. Seeing Emperor Taizong wake up, everyone was overjoyed and knelt down to say hello. Only then did Emperor Taizong realize that he had slept for three days and three nights, which scared Empress Changsun to call The imperial doctor, for Emperor Taizong's precious treatment. But these famous doctors were helpless, and Empress Changsun had no choice but to call the prince over, and summoned all the important officials in the court into the palace, and asked them to wait outside the emperor's bedroom. Empress Changsun He made up his mind that once Emperor Taizong couldn't sleep, he would be succeeded by the prince to avoid turmoil in the world.

"It was only then that Emperor Taizong realized that there was something wrong with the nightmare he had, but it was a good thing that he finally woke up. He hadn't eaten a grain of rice for three days and three nights, and he was already hungry and thirsty. The empress asked The eunuch issued an order to send the officials who were waiting outside the palace to go home to rest, declaring that they would stay at home for three days and wait for orders.

"After Emperor Taizong woke up, he ate and drank water, and his heart finally settled down. But after he woke up, he put the nightmare behind him. The water and land conference, and the gold and silver borrowed from Xiangliang are all gone. Got it.

"Unexpectedly, the next night, Emperor Taizong just fell asleep when he heard someone yelling loudly outside the palace, yelling 'return my head' in a gloomy manner, and someone threw sand and stones at the doors and windows. Emperor Taizong Furious, he ordered the eunuchs and warriors to arrest him. But they searched for a long time, but they didn't see a single person. Emperor Taizong didn't believe it, so he took the sword to check outside the palace, and found no suspicious person. When he returned to the house, he heard someone yelling "give me back" outside the house, and someone couldn't help sneering, insulting Emperor Taizong as a dishonest villain.

"Emperor Taizong is the emperor on horseback. Although he was astonished, he was not afraid. He grabbed the sword and took the eunuchs and warriors to search the courtyard, but found nothing. But when he returned to the house, he heard someone walking in the courtyard. Scolding, windows and doors were crackling. It was not until the next morning, when the sun rose, that the outside of the bedroom stopped.

"Emperor Taizong didn't sleep all night, exhausted, and slept all day the next day. But just after dark, someone outside shouted loudly, and threw sand and stones on the doors and windows, causing another whole commotion. At night, after dawn, the scolding disappeared again. After more than ten days in a row, Emperor Taizong could not sleep at night and could only rest during the day, so he could not go to court. Later, Emperor Taizong suddenly remembered what happened in his dream, and hurriedly Wei Zheng came to ask.

"Wei Zheng listened to Emperor Taizong's explanation of the reason, showing surprise on his face, and said in his mouth, His Majesty didn't know something. That day, the minister was indeed ordered by the Jade Emperor in his dream to behead the old dragon of Jinghe who violated the rules of heaven. Later, an old friend Cui Jue Tuomeng said that after the Jinghe old dragon was beheaded, he resented His Majesty for not saving him, and even sued His Majesty in the underworld. After Cui Jue died, he served as a judge in the underworld. He was grateful for His Majesty's kindness to him before his death, and found The minister came to report the letter. A copy of the minister's letter was burned to Judge Cui, asking him to serve His Majesty carefully. A few days ago, His Majesty slept for three days and three nights in a single sleep, presumably he went to the underworld. It stands to reason that His Majesty returned safely. There should be no serious problems in Yangjian. If your majesty has another adventure in the underworld, I dare you to tell your majesty frankly.

"Emperor Taizong's nightmare was told to Wei Zheng. After hearing this, Wei Zheng stomped his feet repeatedly and said, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he spoke well. Since he promised to hold a water and land conference to save those ghosts and souls, how can he break his promise? Presumably, it was Jinghe Old Dragon who rebelled against the king on the 64th Route, and Yan Chen from the [-]th Route resented His Majesty for returning to the Yangjian, and did not do anything to save them, so they started making trouble in the palace.

"Emperor Taizong was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked Wei Zheng for advice. Wei Zheng said that he must invite eminent monks to perform a big ritual in Chang'an City as soon as possible, and save the old dragon in Jinghe River and those ghosts and ghosts, so that Emperor Taizong will be safe. Emperor Taizong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and immediately wrote an imperial decree, calling eminent monks to Chang'an to preside over the water and land conference.

"When Emperor Taizong was discussing with Wei Zheng, the eunuch came to report, saying that the generals Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde had heard that the emperor's dragon body was not in good condition, so they came to the palace to greet the emperor. Emperor Taizong hurriedly invited the two generals in, and brought sleepwalking The matter of the underworld was reported to the two generals. After hearing this, Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde were immediately furious, threatening that the Eighteenth Route Against the King and the Sixty-fourth Route Yanchen were their defeated generals. Terrible. As for the Jinghe old dragon, he is nothing more than a beast. If these evil ghosts and beasts dare to offend the emperor, it is a death penalty. The two generals asked them to keep vigil for the emperor. If you dare to offend the emperor, even if you tell them to be ghosts, you will die again!

"That night, Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde put on their helmets and stood at the gate of the palace with iron whips and golden maces in their hands, watching the night for Emperor Taizong. Strange to say, no one shouted or scolded in the courtyard that night, and no one Throwing sand and stones on the windows and doors. Emperor Taizong was overjoyed and rewarded Qin Shubao and Yuchi Jingde with countless gold and silver. For the next few days, the two generals kept vigil for Emperor Taizong every night. It's just that, the two generals have exhausted their efforts, but they are getting thinner day by day. Emperor Taizong saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, fearing that the two generals would fall ill, and his life and the great Tang Dynasty would be in danger."
