People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1414 The Blood Book of the Yue King, the Curse of the Xuanwu Sect

In late June, at the foot of Songshan Mountain.

A black carriage slowly climbed up Songshan Mountain. Songshan, which had finally restarted due to the heavy rain, stopped again today.

There was not even a single person to be seen along the entire stretch of mountain road.

On the mountainside, the black carriage drove directly through the waist-high grass and finally disappeared into the dense woods.

A mountain road appeared under the rolling wheels, and for a moment, amidst the noisy sound of the waterfall, the carriage stopped.

Beside the clear green lake, the commander in black clothes and armor glanced at the carriage, then turned over and dismounted, cupped his hands to Daoren Zhong, who was wearing a dark robe, and said: "I have seen a real person, the heavy rain destroyed the road, and the end will be late."

"It doesn't matter." Zhong Daoren waved the fly whisk in his hand, looked down the mountain, and said softly: "It rained continuously in Luoyang in the south of the mountain. Why is it not like this in the world? Even Songshan Mountain also has the appearance of a rain waterfall."

The black-armored general was slightly startled, his eyes falling around the hall.

Although the surrounding soil has dried, traces of erosion can still be seen.

Looking up, you can see steep cliffs and waterfalls.

The stone hall stands horizontally and the stone walls are moist.

There are faint signs of flooding.

"Master, there won't be any delay in refining the alchemy in the palace, right?" The black-armored general looked at Daoren Zhong nervously.

"There are some." Zhong Daoren was very honest, but said easily: "The rain is heavy, the earth's energy is solemn, the four seasons of heaven and earth are not running well, and coupled with the night sent by you people, it has been delayed for ten days. Half a month, that’s all, it doesn’t matter, everything is already expected.”

Zhong Daoren had set aside one month as a buffer for this alchemy.

What's more, this limit time can even be delayed until the end of the year...

The black-armored general didn't know whether he understood the truth. He nodded to Zhong Daoren, then cupped his hands and said: "The person has been delivered. I will take my leave."

The black-armored general turned around, and two soldiers had already carried down the grizzled old man who was over fifty years old.

Looking at the figure who was very similar to the emperor, Zhong Daoren's expression changed slightly, and then he stood up with one palm and chanted to himself in a low voice: "Immeasurable Ten Directions Save the Suffering God."

The black-armored general didn't say much, got on his horse, and quickly headed down the mountain with his cavalry.

……

In front of the stone palace, Zhong Daoren watched the black-armored leader disappear completely, and then he lowered his head and looked at Yue Wang Li Zhen.

After quietly calculating his face, bones, horoscopes, and blood energy, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Great Sage, the Great Merciful, the Great Compassion, the Great Vow, the name of the Ten Directions, saves all sentient beings, and saves countless people in billions of kalpas. Looking for his voice, Taiyi saves the suffering."

Closing his eyes and chanting, with a compassionate expression on his face, he finally let out a sigh. Zhong Daoren grabbed Li Zhen's belt and carried him into the main hall.

A tall furnace cauldron came into view, with flames steaming from below, licking the walls of the furnace.

The temperature in the entire hall was terrifyingly hot, and the two young men on both sides were no longer the original two, replaced by two strong men with cold expressions wearing only undershirts.

He was sweating while adding firewood, but his movements did not stop at all.

After checking it out, Zhong Daoren turned and walked towards the back hall.

Across the pharmacy, Zhong Daoren stood in front of the secret room door, his eyes lowered, but his ears listened carefully to all the sounds around him.

Recently, he has always felt a little uneasy for no reason.

It was as if something was always staring at him.

But what exactly it is, he doesn't know.

It would be fine at other times, but now, the Taoist temple's secrets are right in front of us. If someone discovers it, the worry for life is a trivial matter.

After a long time, there was no movement at all.

Zhong Daoren finally breathed a sigh of relief, opened the secret door, and stepped in with Li Zhen, the king of Yue in his arms.

Immediately, the secret door was closed.

Zhong Daoren stood motionless behind the door. After a long time, there was no movement outside.

Zhong Daoren was finally relieved, and then he shook his head in amusement.

The closer he got to the critical moment, the more he couldn't help but be on tenterhooks.

He is no longer the same person he used to be.

In an instant, Zhong Daoren's expression became completely serious.

Speaking of King Li Zhen of Yue, Zhong Daoren walked to the long table.

After putting Li Zhen down, Taoist Zhong picked up three incense sticks, bowed three times respectfully, and silently recited for a moment in his heart before inserting the incense sticks into the incense burner.

Turning around, Zhong Daoren picked up Li Zhen, the king of Yue, again, walked to the grotto on the right, and carefully put Li Zhen into it.

Pointing their swords together, Zhong Daoren made a cut directly on Li Zhen's right wrist.

The next moment, bright red blood had flowed into the small urn below.

After doing all this, Zhong Daoren sighed deeply.

Bowing deeply to Li Zhen, turned around, and Zhong Daoren left the secret room.

After a moment, there was a "squeak" sound, and the secret door opened again.

Taking a look at the quiet secret room and the ancestors with fluttering beards, Zhong Daoren laughed at himself inexplicably.

The secret room was closed again.

At this moment, the moon-white Taiyin Emperor floated out from the crack in the second grotto on the left.

It floated directly into the first grotto on the right and landed directly on the Yue King Li Zhen.

The next moment, "Li Zhen" opened her eyes.

……

"Li Zhen" turned her head slightly to look at Shimen, her eyes cold and her face stiff.

There seemed to be a faint rustling sound, as if they were gathering herbs outside.

Alchemy, Zhong Daoren will continue to make alchemy next.

Due to the heavy rain and the late delivery of Li Zhen, the time for Dancheng to be completed was greatly shortened. Therefore, in order to prevent the accident from getting worse, Zhong Daoren needed to make up for it more carefully. Of course, he was also worried about an accident.

Zhong Lu Yan Ming Dan, the last ingredient for this Wei Dan has finally been gathered.

There was a sneer on "Li Zhen's" face, as if she was mocking, how could it be so easy to obtain a pill or extend one's life?

"Li Zhen" raised his head slightly and looked at the dark grotto above his head.

"Li Zhen" put her right hand on her left wrist, heavily stained with blood, then placed it on the top of the stone, and then slowly started writing.

"I, Li Zhen, King of Yue, the eighth son of Emperor Taizong, died today in Fangcun's house, at the hands of Xiaoxiao.

Sad, painful. Wu Mei, also known as the Demon Queen, has a wolf-like nature and cannot conceal her evil intentions. She practices sorcery and murders members of the clan. She is outraged by both heaven and man, and abandoned by heaven and earth.

Li Zhi, I know it’s you.

I know it was you who instigated her to do this.

You killed your brothers and abused your relatives. I curse you and you will not die well.

You, and your heirs, will all die a bad death.

Father, late emperor, Ba Lang followed you today.

This is a curse, this is a curse.

The former emperor.

Xuanwu Gate, Xuanwu Gate...

The curse of Xuanwu Sect will be entangled in the bloodline of Emperor Taizong forever, and it will never be freed.

Li Zhen, the king of Yue, died on June 23 of the second year of Yonglong in Songshan Mountain. "

After writing the last word, Li Zhen's left hand suddenly dropped weakly.

The blood stains on it floated gently at this moment and fell into the small urn below.

Taiyin Emperor floated up from behind Li Zhen's head and floated directly in mid-air.

Then, a handful of white powder gently fell from the ceiling of the stone chamber above his head and landed accurately into the small jar.

The next moment, the statue of Emperor Taiyin floated into the stone chamber where Li Chong was.

It became completely quiet.

Three hours later, the secret door of the secret room opened again.

When Zhong Daoren saw his wrist that was covered with flu blood, he nodded, took out the small urn, and sealed the grotto completely.

At this moment, Zhong Daoren's movements were frighteningly neat.

After doing all this, he bowed slightly to Zhong Liquan's portrait, then turned around and exited the secret room.

The medicine that had been prepared in the pharmacy was put into the medicine jar for the first time, and then slowly stirred.

It was dark, and Zhong Daoren finally completed the first pass.

The blood in the medicine man has completely solidified, and the crystal is as clear as jade.

But there are still a lot of magazines among them. Zhong Daoren frowned slightly. He still has a lot of work to do...

"Boom", a huge roar sounded above the head.

Zhong Daoren raised his head, as if he could see through the stone roof and see the night sky outside at a glance.

He lowered his head indifferently and walked towards the medicine shelf again...

Endless thunder and thunderbolts rush wildly between heaven and earth, as if the anger of heaven is venting wantonly.

The people near Luoyang couldn't help but look up at the sky, looking worried.

Could it be that the heavy rain that just ended will continue to rain?
Although the number of casualties in this summer flood was very few due to Liu Rengui's flood control platform and He Yiqiu's capital water supervision, the property damage caused was also staggering, with most houses destroyed.

Fortunately, at this time, it is not yet time to harvest autumn crops, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

Suddenly, a dazzling thunder snake appeared in the field of vision, crashed from the sky and landed directly on Songshan Mountain.

With a "boom", countless people were frightened at this moment.

This also includes Taoist Zhong who was selecting medicinal herbs.

Thunder seemed to explode in his ears, and Zhong Daoren, who was collecting herbs, even felt his hands and feet numb.

In an instant, he jumped up and ran directly into the hall.

The flames under the Danding Peak suddenly dimmed inexplicably.

The strong middle-aged men on both sides subconsciously wanted to add more firewood inside, but Zhong Daoren quickly waved his hand to stop them.

Standing beside the alchemy cauldron, Zhong Daoren closed his eyes slightly, and a very slight sound of liquid flowing came to his ears from the alchemy cauldron.

After a while, Zhong Daoren finally opened his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief.

In an instant, Zhong Daoren had quickly walked out of the stone hall.

Drops of ice particles as big as beans fell directly from the sky, even hitting Zhong Daoren on the forehead.

But at this moment, he couldn't care about this at all, because in the southeast direction, huge flames rose.

There, it was the direction of Songshan Hall.

Zhong Daoren's expression couldn't help but change slightly. He raised his head and looked at the sky above his head.

Black clouds are threatening to destroy the city.

"Autumn is coming, and the change of seasons will be delayed again."

With a sigh, Zhong Daoren turned around and entered the main hall.

……

In Zhenguan Hall, Empress Wu quickly climbed up the steps.

The emperor stood on a high platform and looked at Mount Song from a distance.

The hail that had been falling for less than two quarters of an hour had stopped, but the emperor's face became increasingly ugly.

"Your Majesty." Empress Wu said with a slight blessing, "It has been found out. The Songshan Taoist Temple was struck by lightning and caught fire. The main hall of the Taoist Temple was half destroyed. The Ministry of Works said that if it is not fully repaired, the progress can be caught up in half a month..."

"Full repair, rebuild." The emperor's face suddenly became cold, a disdainful sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he said directly: "If you want to do it, do it the best. In front of God, there is no room for any flaws."

"Here!" Empress Wu gently cupped her hands.

Li Zhi turned around and returned to Zhenguan Hall, followed closely by Empress Wu.

"Now that the floods in the north have basically passed, let the capital water supervisor clean up the follow-up. At the same time, he will teach the capital water supervisor why he wants to be a Taizhong doctor and loose officials." Li Zhi waved his hand directly.

"Here!" Empress Wu nodded. Doctor Taizhong was a casual official from the fourth rank. She knew that the emperor's words meant that it was a foregone conclusion.

The emperor sat on the imperial couch, took out a memorial from under the pillow, handed it to Empress Wu, and at the same time stared at her and said: "Announcement from the Governor's Office of Anton, Duke of Zhou, Wu Chengsi, Minister of Rites, passed away due to illness in Western Liaoning. Queen, my condolences. "

Empress Wu was stunned for a moment, then took the memorial with some trembling, and then bowed her head solemnly: "I am sorry for my brother, and also sorry for my grandfather."

"When Chengsi's son grows up, he can be crowned Duke of Zhou."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."
