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

Chapter 511 The Heavenly Lake Stands Standing, The End of the Dharma Collapses

The cool breeze blows from the peak of Heilongling, and the wind after autumn is particularly chilling.

Li Xuan suddenly stood up from the boulder, the hilt of the Eight-Faced Han Sword flipped into her palm.

He took a deep breath, looked at the Immortal Valley in the distance, and said softly: "The autumn wind is bleak and murderous, and the grass and trees shake blood and turn into frost."

"This poem by the king should be the "Yan Ge Xing" written by Wei Wendi Cao Pi. It should be written about a woman missing her husband far away?" A somewhat surprised voice sounded, and Sima Chengzhen, who was wearing a black and white Taoist robe, Appeared abruptly in front of the boulder.

It's as if he's always been there.

On the side of the boulder, there was a slight sound of footsteps, but it disappeared completely soon.

It's Li Zhu.

Li Xuan let go of the hilt of the sword in his hand, looked at Sima Chengzhen, his expression restrained, and then said with emotion: "The bright moon is shining brightly on my bed, and the night is still in the west of Xinghan. The Cowboy and the Weaver Girl look at each other from a distance, why do you alone limit Heliang..." "Yan Ge Xing" is indeed about the love between men and women.

It made my husband laugh, but the boy just saw too much parting of life and death, so he couldn't help but feel emotional, so I used it for a little bit.After all, things in the world go up and down, reincarnation alternates, the dead rest in peace, and so do the living. "

"Indeed." Sima Chengzhen nodded in agreement, and then said: "It seems that the prince has indeed achieved success in Wuzhou."

Li Xuan looked emotional, nodded, and clasped his hands towards Luoyang: "Your Majesty is holy, everything is in order, and everyone lives in his own way."

"It seems that the king has a good understanding of the way of governing the people." Sima Chengzhen cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations."

"The real person is overrated." Li Xuan bowed his hands and returned the salute, but there was no joy on his face.

Sima Chengzhen's footsteps moved a little, and with a wave of his sleeves, he was already flying towards the boulder, as graceful as a fairy.

Standing on the boulder, Sima Chengzhen looked at Li Xuan calmly, and said lightly: "Pindao once heard that there was an unknown Taoist in the Southern and Northern Dynasties who wrote poems on Tianmu Mountain. Pindao only remembers one sentence, 'Taoyuan seeks the way to Jinxianding. , wash the gods pool full of spring'."

Xianren Mountain, Xianrending.

Shenchi, Jinxianding.

The connection here flashed through Li Xuan's mind in an instant, and he immediately had a look of enlightenment: "It turns out that the mountain is called Jinxian Mountain. Compared with it, the structure of Xianren Mountain is indeed much lower."

Li Xuan looked up and looked at the Immortal Peak in the distance, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

There is a Tianchi Lake on the top of the fairy, Li Xuan knew it, and now it seems that Sima Chengzhen also knows it.

That unknown Taoist, nine out of ten, is a disciple of Maoshan, so Sima Chengzhen was able to let that sentence go in the classics.

"Pindao was lucky enough to meet him, but he never expected that the prince would know about it." At this moment, Sima Chengzhen revealed a hint of surprise in his words.

What a surprise, if it was really a surprise, it would not be mentioned in front of Li Xuan now.

Li Xuan looked calm, and said calmly: "After all, Xiao Wang has been in Wuzhou for several months. Since Yangzhou, he has been thinking about how to break the Immortal Mountain, collecting relevant information clues everywhere, and finally got something by luck. "

At this time, Sima Chengzhen suddenly changed his tone: "Duan Duan also sent people to climb to the top several times, but they were all killed. The mystery is self-evident."

Duan Baoxuan actually knew the same thing, which surprised Li Xuan more and more.

Li Xuan still asked calmly: "Duan Duan and the real person both know the secrets, and the real Shiyin should also have something to gain. Why is he so aggressive?"

There was a hint of doubt in the voice of Li Xuan's face, since everyone knew where the Tianchi Lake was, how could they not see the danger in it.

Sima Chengzhen took a look at Li Xuan, waved the whisk in his hand, and said calmly: "My lord, why bother to ask, Ming Shiyin just can't figure out how the flood on the [-]-foot peak can accurately fall into the Immortal Valley. It is extremely difficult to do this, and if there is a mistake in the middle, all the hard work will be in vain, and the officers and soldiers will not suffer too much damage."

"Realist Shi Yin is just gambling with his life." Li Xuan sighed softly: "Many times, if you win the bet, your fate will be smooth and the road ahead will be bright. If you lose the bet, under careful arrangements, there will be others to bear the consequences."

Ming Chongyan is compared to Qiu Shenji, and Qiu Shenji is compared to Huaijin.

Qiu Shenji took Huaijin as a scapegoat, and Ming Chongyan took Qiu Shenji as a scapegoat.

……

"Not long ago, the governor ordered the frontline soldiers to retreat five miles. I wonder if this has something to do with the king?" Sima Chengzhen and Li Xuan stood shoulder to shoulder, but looked at the end of the mountain road. In the valley, someone was already moving up.

"The boy once suggested to the governor that if the boy did something, he would retreat most of the soldiers. The governor may have remembered what the boy said and was on guard." Li Xuan sighed softly, and Duan Baoxuan was surrounded by capable people. people.

Sima Chengzhen followed up and asked: "That is to say, the prince is sure that the water from the Tianchi Lake on the [-]-foot peak will definitely fall into the Immortal Valley. Why is this so?"

Li Xuan looked up from the Immortal Valley and landed on the Immortal Summit above, and she didn't know what she was planning.

Finally, he smiled lightly and said directly: "A few months ago, there was an explosion on the side of the Tianjin Bridge in the capital of God; earlier at Meiling Pass, Fang Fengjin used gunpowder to attack the mountain... As far as I know, During the years, there was a master craftsman surnamed Du who was good at Jiang Zuojian and disappeared after being demoted. In Wuzhou, the king did not find the slightest trace of him. I believe that General Zhonglang also checked in Shezhou, so I don’t know if he has gained anything. .”

"Gunpowder." Sima Chengzhen nodded, and suddenly agreed, "The power of gunpowder can indeed destroy mountains and rocks."

Gunpowder itself originated from the Taoist alchemy technique, and Sima Chengzhen was able to understand it at one point.

"Then it seems that everything is tonight." Sima Chengzhen sighed.

Looking at the valley in the distance, there was a trace of pity in his eyes.

But only compassion.

"Yin and Yang unite to give birth to golden pills." Li Xuan looked at Sima Chengzhen and said softly: "Really, in this situation of ten deaths and no life, will the empress really know how to fight?"

"The master should have told the prince that the empress has a relationship with my Maoshan. This is true. She does know a little about the superficial map of the true spirit, so she tried to evolve the kingdom of God into a cave and forge a fake golden elixir. That's all." Sima Chengzhen's words revealed the essence of what you did later.

The Kingdom of God, the Heavenly Cave, and the Pseudo-Golden Elixir.

With such a statement, Li Xuan immediately understood the true meaning of it thoroughly.

In this world, after all, there used to be a real mythical world. Although it is said that there will be no golden elixir in the world due to the law of heaven and earth, but there are people who can achieve golden elixir in the cave left by their ancestors.

But that kind of golden core can only exist in the cave, and once it leaves the cave, the true qi in the body will immediately flow into the space between heaven and earth.

The real qi in Jindan's body is too high, while the real qi between heaven and earth is too low.

Unless one can lock the true qi in one's body with the top-level kung fu and magic tools, otherwise one can only be drawn to death by heaven and earth.

Even so, once you leave the cave, your personal strength will decline greatly, and you will be easily killed.

Therefore, even if this kind of person breaks through the golden core, he can only stay in the cave, unable to exchange energy with the heaven and the earth.

This golden elixir is naturally a fake elixir, although its strength and longevity are stronger than ordinary people, but it is far inferior to the predecessors.

"So, Empress, she is dead." Li Xuan's soft words made Sima Chengzhen stunned for a while, and he immediately asked, "Why is this?"

Maoshan's Taoism is still very effective, so Sima Chengzhen came here this time.

But Li Xuan's words not only negated the empress, but also negated Mao Shan.

"How can the kingdom of God be compared with the heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, and caves?" Li Xuan looked up at the Immortal Valley in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "So, she will either fail or die, it's the same."

The collapse of the world is a general trend, and even the mountains, rivers and caves of the world are gradually deteriorating, let alone a kingdom of God.

The word Mo Dharma is not a casual word.

"My lord thinks so." Sima Chengzhen looked serious for a while, and then said with a smile: "It seems that although your lord has a Taoist inheritance, he doesn't seem to have the idea of ​​immortality."

"Is there anyone in the world who can live forever, it's just sooner or later." Li Xuan's expression was very indifferent, as if she really had nostalgia for immortality.

"I hope the prince will be consistent." Sima Chengzhen turned his head and looked at the side of the mountain road in the distance.

There, Ming Chongyan was still guarding firmly.

……

The night wind was getting colder, Ming Chongyan looked up at the sky, there was not a single star in the dark sky.

Terrible black.

All astrology techniques are completely ineffective tonight.

"Crackling." Amidst the sound, there was a coughing sound, followed by a sound from inside.

Immediately afterwards, Qiu Shenji, who was covered in lime, came out of the secret passage with some faltering steps.

Although the smell of lime was strong, Ming Chongyan could clearly smell the blood on Qiu Shenji's body.

His face was slightly gloomy, he supported Qiu Shenji with one hand, and asked at the same time: "What happened?"

"Collapse, they collapsed the entire tunnel, all the tunnels within one mile collapsed, and dozens of people were buried in it." Qiu Shenji's eyes flashed with pain.

Those were all loyal generals brought out by his father, and now they died inside like this, who could not feel sad.

"Maybe it's not a bad thing." Ming Chongyan patted Qiu Shenji's shoulder, and in a blink of an eye he had already figured out the pros and cons: "Although the Tianyin bandits are still resisting, under the general trend, many people feel that their future is bleak. I feel uneasy, now that their only way of retreat is cut off, what do you think they will think?"

"I was uneasy, and then collapsed." Qiu Shenji's thoughts quickly returned.

Ming Chongyan went on to say: "That's right, as long as Yan Zhuang cooperates, then the people who disturb the Tianyin Sect will not be a problem. The King of Nanchang can do this kind of people's tricks, why can't you do it, Mr. Qiu Lang."

Qiu Shenji nodded immediately, and then put all the previous sacrifices behind him, and said anxiously: "Go, let's go now."

"Okay!" Ming Chongyan immediately led Qiu Shenji towards the camp.

However, from a distance, they saw the camp was brightly lit, and countless soldiers were packing their luggage.

Many people have already left the camp and retreated towards the south.

"What happened?" Qiu Shenji looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. He grabbed a team leader and asked sharply.

The team leader asked tremblingly: "The governor sent an order that all the soldiers immediately retreat five miles."

"Retreat five miles?" Qiu Shenji's face was satisfied and surprised, but at this time, the team leader had already started to leave quickly with his soldiers.

Qiu Shenji didn't stop anyone.

He couldn't help it either, the reason why he was able to command these soldiers to obey orders was mainly because Huaijin, the captain of the Kuaiji Prefecture Zhechong, obeyed his orders.

He came in through Huai to command all the soldiers of Kuaiji Mansion here, so he must find Huai Jin now.

……

Standing outside the tent, Huai Jin looked at Qiu Shenji, and said helplessly, "My General Zhonglang, I have been looking for you for so long just now, where have you been?"

"I didn't go anywhere. Now, can I stop the soldiers from retreating?" Qiu Shenji deviated from the core of the topic.

"I'm waiting for the troops from the headquarters, but there are not many soldiers and horses returning to Huangshan Mansion to evacuate." Having said this, Huai Jin whispered: "There are some things that cannot be done against the governor!"

"What's wrong with confronting the governor." He gave Huai Jin a vicious look, then turned to look at Ming Chongyan.

Seeing Ming Chongyan grabbing the wind with one hand, his face was extremely embarrassed.

"The air mechanism between heaven and earth has changed."
