I have just been promoted to Qianhu, and I was shocked to hear that this is a Liaozhai!

Chapter 128 The Holy King (Update requested)
When he heard that the Jin Yiwei came to report, Cao Xiang thought for a moment and then let the other party go down.

When only he and Zuo Dao were left in the field.

Then he said: "When you enter the palace this time, you must know some etiquette. As for the matter of these two monsters, I will blame it directly on me."

Speaking of which, Cao Xiang was also a little worried. This time his second brother summoned him and Zuo Dao to enter the palace together.

I am afraid that this matter has spread to the deep palace.

He had already suspected that the officials who had disappeared in Kyoto were the ones who had impeached his second brother in court.

Now these three people have made him confirm his thoughts.

Perhaps the worst plan I had thought at the beginning had already happened.

Pudu Cihang's big centipede has already reached into the court and even started to secretly assassinate officials.

Or maybe he is using the bodies of these officials to do something he doesn't know about.

However, this time Zuo Dao accidentally killed two monsters, which gave Pudu Cihang a warning.

But by some strange combination of circumstances, the second brother noticed him.

Hearing Cao Xiang speak, Zuo Dao also showed a touch of emotion on his face, and then he cupped his hands and said, "I understand, I understand."

Cao Xiang nodded slightly, then asked his servants to prepare their horses and led Zuo Dao to the palace.

The two of them had just arrived at the gate of the palace.

Then he met Pudu Cihang who came here.

Same as before.

Pudu Cihang sat cross-legged on the lotus platform and was carried by several little monsters to stop in front of the palace gate.

I saw Cao Xiang and Zuo Dao coming.

Pudu Cihang said with a smile: "Little friend, we meet again."

When Zuo Dao heard this, he grinned and said, "Zuo Dao has met the National Preceptor."

Cao Xiang frowned slightly and asked, "Brother Huang summoned you to the palace?"

Pudu Cihang smiled and nodded, and said: "The Holy One said that the monsters who committed murders in Kyoto were killed by the Jin Yiwei. He specifically asked me to come and meet the Jin Yiwei who had made great achievements."

"Now it seems that this person is actually the little friend that the poor monk wanted to invite into my Buddhist sect."

"The fate of this world is really wonderful."

When Cao Xiang heard this, he turned his head and looked at Zuo Dao.

He didn't expect that Pudu Cihang would actually poach him.

Now she even said it in front of him.

Cao Xiang said with a smile: "If such great talents of the Wei Dynasty really enter Buddhism, it will be a loss for the Wei Dynasty."

Pudu Cihang shook his head and said: "No, now we both work for the Wei Dynasty, so how can we be different from each other? Even if this young master enters my Buddhist sect, he is still the genius of the Wei Dynasty."

Cao Xiang turned his head and glanced at Zuo Dao, and said, "The Imperial Master seems to be very optimistic about you."

Zuo Dao hurriedly said: "Thank you, Imperial Master, for your favor, but my family has been a royal guard for three generations, and I am no exception."

When Pudu Cihang heard this, he said with some pity on his face: "If this is really the case, it would be a pity."

Cao Xiang and Zuo Dao got off their horses.

He opened his mouth and said: "Since the Imperial Master is also going to enter the palace, how about we wait for our companions?"

When Pudu Cihang heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then he flew down from the lotus platform lightly.

He landed directly next to the two of them and said, "That's good, that's good."

The voice fell.

The three of them walked towards the depths of the palace. The soldiers guarding the gate had obviously received the order in advance and did not stop them.

en route.

Cao Xiang said with emotion: "I wonder if the Imperial Preceptor has ever known why he disappeared a few days ago."

Zuo Dao was stunned for a moment and looked at Cao Xiang beside him with some confusion.

He didn't understand why his master suddenly mentioned this matter.

After all, they all knew this in their hearts. It was Pudu Cihang who was beside them.

Now that he said it in person, it always made him feel weird.

Pudu Cihang smiled and said: "Of course I know, after all, he is a high-ranking official in Kyoto. He disappeared from his home, and the news spread throughout Kyoto in an instant."

Cao Xiang said with emotion: "Yes! An official in the court is missing, and the whole Kyoto is panicked."

"What's more, there have been three cases in Kyoto before, all of which were alive and dead but not corpses. Why should Mr. Ping go missing? People in the court are panicked."

"So I handed the case over to the envoy of Zuozhen, who was just transferred to Beijing from Youzhou Ping."

Upon hearing this, Pudu Cihang glanced at Zuo Dao, and then said with a smile: "Now it seems that the Zuo Zhen envoy has lived up to your expectations. It only took a few days to arrest the culprit in this case."

Cao Xiang nodded with satisfaction and said: "Yes, but I didn't expect that a dog demon and a wolf demon could actually lurk in Kyoto for such a long time."

"This is the dereliction of duty of my Jinyiwei. I failed to detect the evil spirits entering the capital in time, which led to the deaths of the ministers in the DPRK one after another."

Speaking of this, Cao Xiang specifically glanced at Pudu Cihang beside him and said with a smile: "I heard that the Imperial Preceptor has the ability to subjugate demons. Why don't you cooperate with me, the Jinyi Guards, to uncover the secrets hidden in Kyoto?" The evil spirit?"

Pudu Cihang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty still needs to speak about this matter."

Zuo Dao felt strange as he listened to the conversation between the two.

His immediate superior invited Pudu Cihang, the giant centipede, to catch monsters together. Wouldn't that be a thief calling for a thief?

Do you want him to catch himself?

Just when he was doubtful, he heard Cao Xiang continue to say: "What's the difficulty in this matter? I will tell the matter when I see the emperor later, and the emperor will definitely agree."

Pudu Cihang smiled and said: "If the Holy One approves, then our National Master's Office will do its best."

After the words fell, Cao Xiang laughed.

soon.

Everyone then came to the only Buddhist temple in the harem.

When he first saw this Buddhist temple, Zuo Dao thought he was in the wrong place.

After all, in his opinion, there should be three thousand beauties in the harem, including warblers and swallows. Where did he get such a big golden Buddha?

Moreover, the layout of the entire Buddhist temple looks similar to that of a secular Buddhist temple.

But the things used in it are a bit strange.

Under the golden Buddha, there was a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe sitting cross-legged. He was sitting there as if he was taking a nap.

Wait until the three people come closer.

Cao Xiangcai raised his hand and said, "Cao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, came to the palace to pay an audience according to the order."

Pudu Cihang also clasped his hands and said, "National Master Pudu Cihang is here to pay a visit to His Majesty."

Hearing the two men speak, the middle-aged man meditating in the hall slowly opened his eyes and looked at the three people outside the door.

After seeing the three people, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He immediately said: "Thirteenth brother, Imperial Master, come here quickly. I just wandered in the sky and seemed to see a fairy in the sky. Imperial Master, what is the interpretation of this dream?"

Pudu Cihang smiled and said: "Your Majesty is the lord of the Wei Dynasty and is destined by destiny. It is normal to dream of fairies in the sky. After all, according to etiquette and law, your Majesty is the emperor. The emperor and the goddess are a perfect match in the world."

Hearing Pudu Cihang speak, a smile suddenly appeared on Cao Yan's face and she said, "The national master still knows how to speak."

immediately.

He looked at Cao Xiang and said: "Thirteenth brother, you said that in the land of Youzhou, the road to the underworld would be reopened, but now you can think of a way to enter the underworld."

Cao Xiang frowned slightly and said, "Why does the second brother insist on entering the underworld?"

Cao Yan said nonchalantly: "Didn't I tell you before that I want to try a marriage between the Yin and Yang realms? As the leader of the Wei Dynasty, wouldn't it be wonderful to take a ghost king from the Yin Division as my concubine?"

Hearing this, Zuo Dao almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Why does the emperor of the Wei Dynasty talk so crazy, and even wants to take the Ghost King of the Yins as his concubine? Is he thinking too much?

At this time, Cao Yan also noticed Zuo Dao behind the two of them.

He immediately said with great interest: "Come forward."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Dao immediately stepped forward and said with a respectful expression, "I have met your Majesty, Zuo Dao."

Cao Yan came to Zuo Dao, looked him up and down, and then said: "You are indeed a talented person. No wonder my thirteenth brother always praises you."

"I heard that you did a good job in the land of Youzhou, and you were the first to discover the road to the underworld."

Zuo Dao quickly replied: "It's just a matter of ministerial duty. As for the road to the underworld, I only saw it by chance."

When Cao Yan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Since you have seen the road to the Yin Division, have you ever seen the Ghost King of the Yin Division?"

Zuo Dao thought for a moment and said: "In the Shiwan Mountains, I have seen some incarnations of the ghost kings of the Yins in the world, and among them is the female ghost king of the Yins."

Cao Yan rubbed her hands and said, "How do you look?"

Zuo Dao thought about the nine-tailed fox and had to say that even in its secular incarnation, it was extremely beautiful.

He glanced at Cao Xiang. Cao Xiang frowned and said, "Your Majesty asks you questions. Just say what you say."

Zuo Dao immediately said: "Although she is only an incarnation in the human world, she can be said to be extremely beautiful and extremely powerful, comparable to a young master warrior."

Cao Yan clapped her hands and said, "Great kindness."

immediately.

He asked: "Have you ever talked to the ghost king? She is willing to enter the palace."

Zuo Dao coughed lightly and said: "I was beaten so hard that I ran away with my head in my arms. If it weren't for a chance to save my life, I'm afraid your Majesty wouldn't be able to see me today."

When Cao Yan heard this, she suddenly realized: "Such a fierce beauty deserves to be admitted to the palace."

He glanced at Zuo Dao and said, "As you said, do these ghost kings of the underworld have many incarnations in the human world?"

Zuo Dao shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Cao Yan frowned slightly, and then said: "Since you have seen these ghost kings of the underworld before, then after this imperial examination, you will leave Kyoto, find the incarnations of these ghost kings for Gu, and ask them if they are willing to enter the palace as concubines. .”

When Zuo Dao heard this, he took a deep breath.

Why does this emperor want to be that Ning Caichen so much?

After being Ning Caichen, will I still want to be Xu Xian?

After being Xu Xian, will I still want to be a Cowherd?
Now he felt more and more in his heart that there was something wrong with the emperor's mind.

At this moment, Cao Xiang frowned and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to leave this matter alone. Now that demons are causing trouble all over the Wei Dynasty, Your Majesty should not just think about making peace with the Yins."

Hearing this, Cao Yan sighed and said: "Make peace with the Yinsi, and then cooperate and work out the details. Wouldn't it be possible for the people of Gu to live a stable life?" After the words fell, Pudu Cihang immediately said: "Your Majesty's move is a great kindness. , it is quite an act of self-sacrifice among my Buddhists. If I don’t go to hell, who else will?”

Cao Yan nodded with satisfaction and said, "The Imperial Master is very complimentary."

Cao Xiang looked at the two of them, a look of disgust flashed deep in his eyes, and then he said, "I wonder why your Majesty called us here?"

Hearing this, Cao Yan smiled and said, "It's not that I called you to come here, but that our ancestors wanted to see him."

As he said that, he pointed at Zuo Dao beside Cao Xiang.

When Cao Xiang heard this, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and then he said, "Brother Emperor, are you saying that our ancestors want to see Zuo Dao?"

Cao Yan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, my ancestor wanted to see him, and I was quite curious, so I asked you to take him into the palace."

Cao Yan came to Zuo Dao and said with a smile: "You are very good, you can win the eyes of our ancestors."

There was also a moment of astonishment on Zuo Dao's face.

Originally he thought it was just the emperor of Wei who wanted to see him, but now it was the martial arts immortal in the palace who wanted to see him.

That is a figure who stands at the top of the world.

At that time, he single-handedly founded the Wei Dynasty, and also brought the luck of humanity with him, driving all the monks and evil heretics out of the world.

He wanted to see himself, maybe because of the matter about Tao Seed in Shiwandashan.

If this is the case, then I don't know if I can hide my current situation from this martial arts immortal.

Not only him, Cao Xiang was also worried.

After all, according to his speculation, the Qinglong Dao Seed in the Hundred Thousand Mountains must have been refined by Zuo Dao.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to kill those two powerful ghost kings and break through to the level of a minor master.

Now that the ancestor wants to see him, if he finds out that Zuo Dao has refined the Qinglong Tao Seed, will it be detrimental to him?

If he really wanted to harm him, he could only turn a blind eye.

After all, compared to a great Wei Tianjiao like Zuo Dao, he still hopes that his ancestor can successfully extend his life.

As long as the ancestors are still there, the Wei Dynasty will not be able to change the world.

This giant centipede in Kyoto can't do anything it wants to do.

When Pudu Cihang on the side heard this, he was also a little surprised, obviously he did not expect this.

He also thought that the emperor asked him to come with Cao Xiang and others to show off his imperial skills.

Unexpectedly, this Cao Xiang was just an extra, and the one who summoned them into the palace was not the emperor.

But the martial arts immortal in the deep palace.

Thinking of this, Pudu Cihang's eyes looked at Zuo Dao with more and more depth, and he began to think about whether Wei had any way to seize the body.

He had some doubts in his heart, whether the martial arts immortal was planning something else and had his eyes on this little guy.

If this is the case, you need to be more careful.

Cao Yan waved her hand and said, "My ancestors have been waiting for a long time. You'd better go there quickly and don't keep our ancestors waiting."

Hearing Cao Yan speak, Cao Xiang bowed and then led Zuo Dao towards the palace.

Wait until the two leave.

Cao Yancai said quietly: "You are too careless."

When Pudu Cihang heard this, a look of helplessness appeared on his face, and he said: "I was too careless, but I didn't expect this heretic to be so sharp."

Cao Yan shook her head and said: "Since there are so many people under my command, why not just take the three of them away together."

Pudu Cihang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid it's a little too obvious for the three of them to be taken away together."

Cao Yan frowned and said, "Even if we don't take them away together, do you think Cao Xiang doesn't know who touched them? If you were caught this time, you won't be able to take action against the courtiers in the next three to five years."

Pudu Cihang smiled and said: "It's only three to five years, why is Your Majesty so impatient?"

Cao Yan looked into the palace and said, "I'm afraid you won't survive in three to five years."

Pudu Cihang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It is not certain who will not survive. Why should your Majesty be so pessimistic?"

Cao Yan snorted coldly, then walked away with a puff of sleeves.

Pudu Cihang looked deeply into the palace, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

Cao Xiang, on the other hand, led Zuo Dao through the harem and came to the most mysterious palace in the harem.

Come to the palace.

Cao Xiang immediately said loudly: "Cao Xiang, the unworthy descendant, came to visit our ancestors."

The voice fell.

Then he saw the palace door open, and an old eunuch dressed in red walked out and approached.

He said: "Master Cao, why are you doing this? Get up quickly."

Cao Xiang looked at the visitor and said, "Grandpa Zhao, how is our ancestor doing?"

Supervisor Zhao waved his hand and said: "This old slave is just a eunuch, how can he deserve to be called the Thirteenth Prince?"

He glanced back at the palace.

Then he said: "The Holy King is in good health, so the Thirteenth Prince can rest assured. The person the Holy King wants to see today is Mr. Zuo, so I will ask the Thirteenth Prince to wait for a while."

Hearing Supervisor Zhao speak, Cao Xiang had a sad look on his face.

Then he said: "I understand, Superintendent Zhao, please take care of him later, so as not to anger our ancestors."

Supervisor Zhao looked at Zuo Dao with some surprise, and then said: "I will do my best."

With that said, he said to Zuo Dao: "Follow me."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Dao immediately bowed and followed Superintendent Zhao forward, heading towards the deep palace in front of him.

en route.

Supervisor Zhao said: "Little guy, you are very lucky. Even the Thirteenth Prince has not been able to see the Holy King for many years."

"You performed very well in Youzhou. The Thirteenth Prince likes you very much, but you failed to bring the Tao seed back. This is a big mistake."

"When you meet the Holy King, be more diligent and don't speak carelessly."

When Zuo Dao heard this, a look of gratitude appeared on his face, and he immediately whispered: "Thank you, Director Zhao, for the tip."

Soon, the two arrived in front of the palace.

Zuo Dao followed Superintendent Zhao as he walked towards the palace, and soon came to a small house behind the palace.

Supervisor Zhao bowed forward and said, "Please report to the Holy King, and bring it to you from the left."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the door of the small house in front of him open.

An old voice came from it, saying: "Come in!"

Supervisor Zhao responded, and then said to Zuo Dao: "The Holy King has summoned you, go in! Remember what I said before."

Zuo Dao nodded gratefully, and then walked towards the house with some drumming in his heart.

He moved forward.

I just felt that the house in front of me was like a tiger's mouth. I, a weak little sheep, just walked forward step by step.

When he came to the house, he felt a huge suction coming from inside, sucking him directly into the room.

The next moment, the door closed instantly.

After Zuo Dao barely stood firm, he could see everything in front of him clearly.

This house is like a clean room. Apart from the incense table, there is only a futon with a skinny old man sitting on it.

The old man's figure was withered, completely different from the founder of the Wei Dynasty he had seen in the portrait.

At this moment, he looked like a dying old man.

He was completely different from the majestic and tall founding king in the portrait, who seemed to have the power to create the world.

Just as Zuo Dao was about to speak, his whole body froze.

I saw the skinny old man in front of me slowly opening his eyes, and there seemed to be a deep black hole in his eyes, staring straight at Zuo Dao.

Zuo Dao swallowed subconsciously, and then he was about to speak.

He felt that his whole body was being controlled by someone, and then he quickly stepped forward and landed directly in front of the old man.

The old man looked at Zuo Dao in front of him and said, "You are Zuo Dao."

Zuo Dao said sarcastically: "I am reporting to the Holy King, I am Zuo Dao."

The old man raised his hand and patted Zuo Dao on the shoulder.

Zuo Dao only felt an irresistible terrifying energy pouring into his body. The limbs and bones in his body were wandering around in his dantian and purple mansion, as if he was looking for something.

After a long time, the terrifying energy gradually dissipated and returned to the old man's palm.

The old man murmured to himself: "It seems that you really haven't obtained the Tao seed."

After hearing this, Zuo Dao calmed down.

Then he said: "Holy King, this is because I have neglected my duty and failed to bring the Tao seed back to you."

The old man waved his hand casually, and then saw Zuo Dao take a few steps back.

He looked at the left path in front of him and said, "You have good qualifications. No wonder you are able to enter the realm of little grandmaster at such a young age."

"It's just that I think the energy in your body seems to be quite special. It's not true energy or mana, but more like the legendary spiritual power."

Hearing this, Zuo Dao couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Then he said with a smile: "By chance, the true energy and magic power in Wei Chen's body merged, and he became what he is now."

Hearing Zuo Dao speak, Cao Shengwang showed a look of surprise on his face and said, "Can it still be like this?"

The true energy in his body has been elevated to the extreme. In the past 100 years, he has found many ways, but he has not been able to transform the true energy in his body.

Because he has reached the realm of martial arts and human beings, it is basically impossible to transform the true energy in his body into something else.

And in his early years, he missed the best opportunity to transform. Now that he is old, he can only wait until his life span is over.

That's why he couldn't wait to find the Tao seed, and even used means to raise the big centipede.

When it matures, it will be deprived of the demon elixir in its body, and then prepare to extend its life.

But now Zuo Dao's words have brought him new ideas.

King Cao Sheng said: "What happened at that time? Let me tell you in detail."
