Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 228 Chapter One Hundred and Four
The Ancestral Temple of the Li Dynasty was originally a place where the gods of the kings of the Li Dynasty were enshrined. Logically speaking, it is not an important place.

But because Li Xing, the patriarch of the Li Dynasty, lives in seclusion here, with the help of his confidantes, he controls the entire Li Dynasty hall remotely.The ancestral temple of the Li Dynasty was naturally carefully managed by him.

The Ancestral Temple is located in the center of Thang Long Mansion, covering a vast area.Among them, there are many palaces and pavilions. In terms of majesty and grandeur, it is not weaker than the royal palace of the Li Dynasty.

In the outermost periphery, a tall and majestic city wall stands, even several feet higher than the city wall of Thang Long Mansion, the capital of the Li Dynasty.

On the city wall, every few dozen steps, there are bonfires burning, illuminating the surroundings.More than a dozen bed crossbows are placed in the critical places of the city wall.

The crossbow arrows, which were thicker than ordinary spears, were already a few inches above the city wall, with a cold light shining on them, with fierce murderous intent, which made people shudder.The lower part of the city wall has a wide field of vision without any obstruction.Even if there is a place to invade, there is no place to hide when you come here.

From these layouts, one can tell that this is a strong fort with extremely tight defense and proper use, which is enough to resist tens of thousands of troops with weak troops.

It's just that the city wall of the ancestral temple at this time is particularly quiet compared with the past.

The well-trained and loyal Zongwei, who was constantly on tour, had disappeared at this time.

There was only a muffled "buzz", and the vermilion lacquered door opened quietly.

Aohou Lihu, tossing off his robe, led all his confidants around him, striding forward into the ancestral temple with their heads held high.

In the ancestral temple, the confidantes who were responsible for opening the city gate and providing support immediately knelt down on one knee, saluted with fists in both hands, and said proudly:

"Subordinate, I have seen Aohou!"

With a serious face, Li Hu said in a deep voice:

"How is it?"

"Zongwei was unprepared and poisoned. The subordinates suddenly attacked and were powerless to resist. Now they have taken most of the nine gates of the ancestral temple. We have taken over all the nine gates of the ancestral temple. Now in the ancestral temple, only the guardian is left. The hundreds of guards in the temple have not been captured." The subordinate said in a deep voice.

Aohou pursed his lips, pointed in the direction of the main hall, and said through gritted teeth:

"Kill! Zong and Wei are all diehards, no one will be left behind, and no hidden dangers will be left behind!"

"Yes!"

The subordinates immediately responded when they heard the words.Immediately stood up, held the sword, and shouted:
"Your Majesty has an order, no one will be left behind!"

"kill!"

As soon as the military order was issued, Li Wang Li Weining had no intention of hiding the power he had accumulated over the years.Hissing exhausted, the earth-shattering cry of killing suddenly sounded from the periphery of the ancestral temple.

The soldiers and horses were divided into several groups, attacking and killing from the periphery of the ancestral temple to the main hall like a tide.

All the people encountered along the way, whether they were Zongwei armed with armor, attendants in the ancestral temple, or officials in the ancestral temple wearing official uniforms, were all slaughtered.

The sound of screams, the sound of weapons piercing through flesh and blood, the clanging of swords and the clashing of armor blades, all mixed together to form this bloody and hostile music.

Boundless murderous intent permeated the ancestral temple in an instant.

And at this moment, in the secret room of the main hall of the ancestral temple.

In the huge secret room, there is a stone alchemy furnace that is as tall as a person, but looks extremely simple and simple, just placed in the center.In the blue of the furnace, there is still a faint purple hot flame, burning quietly.

On the floor of the secret room, many auras, extremely precious elixir, were scattered on the ground in such a mess.

On the jade bed at the side, is the ancestor of the Li Dynasty who is already too old to be human, and his body has shrunk like a seven or eight-year-old child.

At this time, he was sleeping on it in a strange posture with his limbs curled up.His eyes were closed tightly, as if in hibernation.The white mist spewed out from the mouth and nose, exhaled for several feet, and did not disperse for a long time.

The invisible qi of dark-colored color surrounds his body, and the thick qi that protects his body suddenly looks like the basalt vision of the turtle-snake disk.

But the most eye-catching thing is that above the head of Xuanwu in this vision, a dragon and tiger entwined, a noble and honorable jade seal is floating on it, faintly emitting azure blue brilliance.

In the line of sight that ordinary people can't see, the fate of Li Chao's country is continuously flowing towards the body of Li Chao's ancestor through this jade seal.

As for the patriarch Li Chao who was lying on the jade bed, every time he breathed out and Li Chao's luck surged in, the aura around him became more solidified and terrifying, getting closer to that which ordinary people could not touch. To the realm of land immortals.

"Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor! It's not good!"

Suddenly, a frightened and furious voice resounded in the main hall.

Ruan Ti, who has been serving the patriarch of the Li Dynasty, one of the Nine Ministers of the Li Dynasty, and the current court official, suddenly hurried into the main hall of the ancestral temple, and knelt down in front of the statue of Li Xing, with a face full of shock Fear and anger, shouted loudly:
"Old Ancestor, Aohou Lihu, was a rebellious person with unruly intentions and led troops into the ancestral temple."

Li Xing, the patriarch of the Li Dynasty who was still practicing, suddenly became short of breath.The condensed and heavy zhenqi around him also became chaotic.

The next moment, Li Xing suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Li Chao Yuxi who was slowly falling below his head, a trace of anger and resentment flashed in his eyes.

Just a little bit!Just a little bit!
Damn it!Damn it all!
Li Xing's heart was filled with rage, and the 600 years of accumulated energy in his body followed it with unrivaled power.

In the next moment, a coercion as deep as an abyss and sea suddenly appeared in the ancestral temple.The powerful and compelling aura scattered around, just like the divine power when the gods descended.

Ruan Ti, who was kneeling on the ground in the hall, was oppressed by this momentum, and immediately his body was extremely heavy, and he fell powerlessly on the ground.

"what happened?"

Suddenly far and suddenly near, the ethereal and incomprehensible voice resounded in the hall.

"What's the matter? Make it clear!"

Although the voice is ethereal as usual, it sounds like a god.But he could also feel the overwhelming anger in Li Xing's heart from these few words.

Ruan Ti knelt down on the ground and said with great difficulty:

"Reporting to the ancestor, Aohou Lihu conspired against the law and poisoned him secretly. Because we were defenseless, most of the Zongwei in the ancestral temple had already been subdued. At this time, his soldiers and horses have already killed the main hall!"

Speaking of this, Ruan Ti's eyes flashed with fanaticism, and he shouted passionately and piously:
"I also ask the ancestor to take action, so that Li Hu, who is rebellious and rebellious against the ancestor, will die without a place to die!"

Hearing this, Li Xing suddenly looked at the Li Chao Yuxi in his hand.

He saw that the jade seal that was still shining with azure blue brilliance just now had dimmed countless times, and was no longer as miraculous as before.

Li Xing's heart sank, and he felt it immediately.

The unbroken luck of a country gathered on the jade seal of the Li Dynasty before has weakened to the extreme, even less than one ten-thousandth of what it was just now.

With the death of Li Xing's confidants, his grasp of Li Chao's luck has obviously dropped countless times.

If it weren't for this, Ruan Ti's loud shout just now would definitely not be enough to wake him up from his cultivation.

Thinking of Li Xing, killing intent flashed in his eyes immediately, with a look of anger on his face, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Li Weining!"

Without Li Weining's support, a clan like Li Hu would definitely not be able to have such a serious impact on Li Chao's luck!
"Kings?"

Ruan Ti was taken aback for a moment, then anger flashed across his face, and he said angrily:

"Why did your majesty act so rebelliously?"

Li Xing snorted coldly and said:
"It's not like it's happened before! None of the kings in the past and present has ever allowed anyone to be on top of him."

Li Xing has lived for 600 years. As an immortal, people who know his identity usually worship him as a god.But as Li Xing said, no king is willing to act as a puppet.

Among the successive kings of the Li Dynasty, quite a few were tired of an old ancestor pointing fingers at him, and thought of getting rid of him.

If it weren't for Li Chao, who experienced several major defeats, Li Xing, who was faintly connected with Li Chao's fate, would be aging faster and unable to take care of the situation in the middle school.I'm afraid that Li Weining, the current king of Li, would have passed away as early as some of his ancestors!
While the two were talking, the sound of fighting outside the main hall became clearer.

The Zongwei in the ancestral temple are all loyal people.Responsible for guarding the ancestral temple, seeing the enemy attacking the main hall at this time, there is no way to retreat, and immediately fought to the death without retreating, desperately trying to block the enemy out.

In the hall, Ruan Ti became more and more anxious, pressed his forehead to the ground, and shouted loudly:

"Ancestor please do it!"

Then I heard a dragon chant, which suddenly spread into the hall.Its voice is majestic, like a cow roaring and a horse neighing, shaking people's hearts.

Accompanied by the sound of "bang", the domineering palm force condensed from the inner force turned into a roaring golden dragon.The palm wind was strong and fierce, engulfing several Zongwei in an instant, broke through the hall door and flew in, and fell on his back on the hall, vomiting blood from his mouth and nose, his muscles and bones were broken, obviously he was hopeless.

Even Ruan Ti, who was kneeling on the ground, was blown by this powerful and amazing palm wind at this time, and his figure was blown far away in a bit of embarrassment.

Holding the sword in his hand, Li Hu boldly walked into the hall under the guard of his confidants and two masters, Xiao Feng and Duan Yu.

He looked around, took a deep breath, and pointed the long sword in his hand at the statue of Li Xing, who was dressed in a royal robe and stood upright and solemn in the palace, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and said in a solemn voice:
"Evil heretics, pretending to be gods and ghosts, pretending to be ancestors, and controlling the government by remote control, is a crime that cannot be punished. Come here, let me kill you!"

"Yes!"

The sound of Qi Qi's reconciliation sounded, and his confidants and soldiers rushed in like flowing water.

"That person is hiding in the secret room, let me find him!" Li Hu continued to shout.

A group of confidants and soldiers immediately seemed to be demolishing a house, beating everywhere in the hall, trying to find the entrance to the secret room.

The next moment, a slightly illusory voice that could not be heard from anywhere suddenly sounded.

"Li Hu, since you want to see me so much, I will do as you wish!"

The sound of "da da da" mechanism sounded, and in the eyes of everyone in shock and astonishment, a ray of light suddenly lit up behind the statue in the hall.

In a trance, the god statue bloomed with divine light, very similar to the accompanying aura of the fairy god who came to the world.

When everyone was stunned, Li Hu took a step forward and said with a sneer:
"It turns out that you didn't hide in the ground as your mouse. This secret room turned out to be above the main hall. This so-called divine light appearance is nothing more than you refracting the light with the help of a mechanism to pretend to be a ghost!"

Hearing Li Hu's words, Li Xing didn't refute, as if he acquiesced.

The soldiers who were a little shocked just now also felt a little relieved at this time.

Accompanied by the projected rays of light, Li Weining, who embraced Li Chao Yuxi, was already too old to be human, withered like a child, and under the gaze of everyone, Li Weining slowly fell down.

When they saw Li Xing's true face, everyone couldn't help frowning.

It's nothing else, but Li Xing's appearance at this time, it's too, um, disgusting!

There are only a few strands of white hair left.Wrinkles are all over the face, crowded together one after another, and the wrinkled appearance is a bit nauseating.This appearance is combined with a sluggish and hunched figure, but the figure of the size of a seven or eight-year-old child is even more unusual and uncomfortable.

Li Hu looked at Li Xing, and suddenly showed a complex and mocking smile, with disgust on his face, and said:
"It's so disgusting, no wonder you only dare to hide in the ancestral temple and play tricks!"

Thinking of the fact that he has always bowed to such a thing all these years, Li Hu suddenly felt disgusted in his heart.

The soldiers on the side also showed expressions of disgust or contempt.

Li Xing felt the mocking gazes of these people, and the raging anger in his heart became even more raging.

He glanced at the people present with his eyes that had been stretched into a slit, and his tone was extremely cold, just like the piercing wind, and said:
"You all have to die, none of you can escape!"

In the next moment, an oppressive force like an abyss like an ocean pressed down on everyone.

It came with an aura that was more compelling than that of a ninth-level master, and suddenly, all the soldiers present seemed to be plunged into an endless quagmire, and their whole bodies seemed to be pressed by heavy stones, unable to move.

At the same time, a bone-chilling mysterious aura emanated from his body.

The soldiers who were closer in stature, suddenly came into contact with even a trace of Xuanming Qi, and their bodies froze immediately, and the ice spread and condensed.In an instant, the person was turned into an ice sculpture.

Through the condensed ice, one could even see the unspeakable fear on the frozen soldier's face.

Li Xing looked at the scene in front of him, suddenly raised his head and smiled, and said:
"Hahahaha, it's really good, it's really good! After the great changes in the world, not only the road ahead is smooth, but even the true meaning of martial arts can guide the power of the world for your own use..."

Speaking of this, Li Xing suddenly looked at Li Hu, and said in a cold, murderous voice:

"Being my enemy, I want you to die under this mysterious and icy atmosphere, and there will be no more..."

Before Li Xing finished speaking, there was a dragon-shaped true energy, with a ferocious figure, circling around.Wherever the golden dragon passed, the powerful and domineering zhenqi exploded non-stop, blasting toward Li Xing.

Li Xing was startled suddenly, he dodged his body, and narrowly dodged this domineering palm force.

But before he could take a breath, there was another sound of piercing through the air.

In a trance, there seemed to be a long sword out of its sheath, and its voice became clearer and more exciting.Incomparably majestic, the sharp sword energy came with a mighty wind and rain.

Li Xing was startled, and his mind was concentrated. The mysterious aura overflowing around him suddenly condensed into a mass, turning into a turtle and snake. whole body.

The sword qi shot out, hitting the carapace of the Xuanwu phenomenon.The two parties are purely condensed by true qi, offsetting each other, and the true qi continues to dissipate around.

In the end, it was Li Xing who relied on 600 years of profound skills to resist this sword energy.

Looking at the two Xiao Feng and Duan Yu who are no more than 30 years old in the distance, Li Xing had a look of jealousy on his face, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Such a young ninth-level master? You are definitely not from my Daan Kingdom!"

Seeing such two young people, Li Xing couldn't suppress the unwillingness in his heart anymore.

Back then, Li Xing, as the envoy of the Ailao State, sat in charge of one side.In the end, taking advantage of the opportunity of the war between Yun and Xia, they directly unified the entire territory of the Li Dynasty.By various means, the two great powers could only hold their noses to recognize the status of Le Dynasty.

So in terms of resourcefulness and military strategy, he is definitely an outstanding man.

It's just a pity that no one is perfect.

Li Xing is such an outstanding person, but his martial arts qualifications are unprecedentedly bad.

He has worked hard for half his life to enter the ninth-level realm that every generation of Jianghu can step into.In the end, he found another way and got in touch with Li Chao's luck, only then was he able to enter such a realm.

The accumulation over the past 600 years has given him a profound inner strength that is unmatched by others, but there has been no breakthrough.

All kinds of sadness and helplessness, I am afraid that only Xu Fu, who is in the midst of the situation, can empathize with him.

Hearing this, Xiao Feng immediately took a step forward and said loudly:
"Your Excellency's words are correct. Xiao Feng is a member of Yun Kingdom. By the order of His Majesty, come to help King Li!"

After all, while Li Xing was frowning and muttering, he immediately winked at Li Hu who was beside him, signaling him to take the opportunity to withdraw the others.

Li Hu understood, and immediately ordered his subordinates to retreat.

At this time, Li Xing didn't take these soldiers who had withdrawn from the hall into consideration at all, but instead looked at Duan Yu, narrowed his eyes, and muttered:

"Using your fingers as a sword, you are a powerful ninth-level master! Are you the little emperor of Yunguo?"

After finishing speaking, Li Xing shook his head again and said:

"It's unlikely that the ages don't match! So, you are the clan of Yun Kingdom?"

Duan Yu was taken aback, pointed at himself, then quickly waved his hand, explaining:

"No no, Your Excellency misunderstood! In the next Duan Yu, he is not a child of the clan. This six-veined sword is my family's martial arts..."

Xiao Feng at the side, seeing that Duan Yu was still stupid, seemed to want to break up with Li Xing, so he couldn't help but give him a hand.

Only then did Duan Yu come to his senses and didn't say any more.

At this moment, Li Xing lowered his eyes slightly, lowered his head and said in a cold voice:
"Whether it is or not, after today, losing two ninth-level masters, the little emperor of Yunguo will feel distressed!"

After finishing speaking, Li Xing raised his hand abruptly, and the mysterious aura around him gushed forth without holding back his hand.

The true meaning of martial arts draws the power of heaven and earth.In the dark, among the many stars above the starry sky, the Xuanwu Qisu shines with brilliance.

The meaning of ice moves accordingly.In an instant, the ground of the entire hall was covered with frost.In the entire hall, it seemed to step into severe cold in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Feng's heart sank, and he immediately raised his palm, the dragon-shaped true energy circled around his palm.

I saw him bang suddenly, the sound of the dragon's chant was deafening, and the domineering palm force left no room, and poured away.

At the same time, Xiao Feng suddenly shouted:
"Third brother, this man has profound skills, but his body is old and inconvenient. You attack his vital points in turn with less punch and less two swords!"

When Duan Yu heard the words, he immediately understood, and stretched out his fingers, either lightly and swiftly, or suddenly coming and going, the exquisitely changing sword energy continuously poured out from his fingertips.

Among the two of them, Xiao Feng's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are the main attackers, and he never leaves any space between his palms.The domineering and powerful palm force was struck, even though Li Xingxuanming's true energy was extremely powerful, he did not dare to face the sharp edge directly, and could only back down, or protect his body with incomparably strong inner strength.

And Duan Yu on the side, with the six-veined sword, assisted from a distance.From time to time, a burst of sword energy came, forcing Li Xing, who was about to counterattack just now, to retract the mysterious energy again.

For a moment, Li Xing was suppressed to death by Xiao Feng and Duan Yu, he had no power to fight back and could only rely on the internal force behind him to protect himself.

At this time, outside the main hall, Li Weining and Chen Feng, who had cleaned up the royal palace, and the officials of the imperial court, also hurried over with their troops.

Li Hu turned his head and saw Li Weining coming, he immediately bowed and said:

"Kings!"

Li Weining supported him, looked ahead, and the main hall, which seemed to be in danger of collapsing, was made tottering by the internal force released by the three of them, and said urgently:

"How's the situation?"

At this time, Li Weining had already placed all his trump cards, and there was no way out.After today's affairs are over, the winner and the loser will know for themselves.So at this time, he was naturally extremely anxious.

When Li Hu heard this, he hurriedly said:

"The Zongwei were all taken down, and the patriarch... the old man was also forced out. Xiao Feng and Duan Yu are fighting with him!"

Hearing this, Li Weining frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Isn't it poisoned? Why, why is there no response?"

Hearing the words, Chen Feng on the side couldn't help saying:

"Ninth-level masters, the system is different from ordinary people. I don't know if the poison prepared by the king will be effective for him!"

Hearing the words, Bi Fei couldn't help saying:
"Impossible, even a ninth-level expert cannot avoid the highly poisonous thing found by this servant!"

Li Hu heard this, and continued:
"He is different from ordinary ninth-level masters... 600 years of profound skills!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell silent.

In the end, apart from the characters in the myths, the only one who can live for hundreds of years throughout the ages is the ancestor of the Li Dynasty!So no one knows what kind of mutation will happen after living for a long time.

Looking at the majestic and majestic main hall of the ancestral temple, under the tossing of the three people, there is a risk of collapse.Li Weining stared blankly at the main hall, and couldn't help showing a look of longing, and murmured:

"Once you enter the ninth level, you will be very human. Really, it makes people yearn..."

Speaking of this, Li Weining couldn't help feeling grateful for the act of bowing his head to Xiao Cheng and borrowing two masters.

If it weren't for this, if he pinned all his hopes on the toxin, he might not be able to kill that old and immortal man just by relying on these people under him!
There was a sound of "啪啦", Li Xing burst out from the roof of the main hall.

Behind them, Xiao Cheng and Duan Yu, with a flicker of their figures, followed closely and rushed up together.

Li Xing glanced at the two behind him angrily. When his heart became more and more anxious, his heart suddenly moved and he looked down.

In the dark night, even though Li Weining was hiding among the guards, for Li Xingxing at this time, Li Weining's whole body was filled with the power of Li Chao's luck, which made him extremely conspicuous.

Suddenly, Li Xing's eyes lit up.

The next moment, Li Xing's body flickered, and the mysterious power around him condensed around him, gathering together like a raging river, and then headed towards Xiao Feng and Duan Yu who were chasing after him.

Li Xing suddenly shot with all his strength, which caught the two of them off guard.In order to dodge, the two chased and slowed down.

At this moment, Li Xing's body was shaken. He didn't care whether his old body could withstand it, and the power in his body continued to circulate. His body suddenly became faster, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through the distance and attacked Li Weining.

Such a sudden move made everyone unable to react.

Speaking of which, Li Weining's side is also pitiful, the strongest guards around him are only at the seventh level of cultivation.

Such a master, in front of Li Xing, who was doing everything he could without regard to others, was no different from paper.

The power of Xuanming swept in, and the master guard who took precautions had already turned into a lump of ice sculpture, and his vitality dissipated.

Li Xing's figure fell, and with a lift in his hand, he pulled Li Weining who was much taller than him, and his figure rose from the ground.

Li Hu and Chen Feng, who had just reacted, roared angrily:
"Put down the king!"

"Hahaha!"

Li Xing, who was holding Li Weining, let out a burst of wanton laughter at this moment, looked at him with a ferocious look, and said:

"My good descendants, come just in time!"
