Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 823 Layout of Yuanjue Tower

"Who can find the elixir?" the man in black asked.

Yang Guozhong said indifferently: "That person is Yuan Tiangang. Yuan Tiangang is a scholar of heaven and man, and is good at physiognomy. Back then, he was ordered by Emperor Taizong to search for the elixir of life, and his footprints traveled all over the world. In the end, he was killed by him on a sea island. Now, I have discovered the secret of longevity!"

"What's the secret?" the man in black asked cautiously.

Yang Guozhong squinted his eyes and said excitedly: "After Yuan Tiangang set foot on the island, he found that the clothes of the people on the island were quite like the ancient Qin Dynasty. After asking, he found out that those people were actually from the Qin Dynasty!"

The man in black couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief, "This...how is this possible?"

Yang Guozhong smiled and said: "Yuan Tiangang didn't believe it at first, but after getting along with them for a while, he was sure that they were from the Qin Dynasty. Those people were actually Xu Fu's followers when he went to the east to search for immortals. Because of taking the medicine of longevity by mistake, I only lived for hundreds of years!"

The black-robed man was amazed. He pondered for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Since Yuan Tiangang found those immortal people, why didn't Emperor Taizong live forever? Could it be that Yuan Tiangang secretly hid the elixir of life?"

Yang Guozhong shook his head and said: "No. Yuan Tiangang only found those survivors of the Qin Dynasty, but the elixir of life was not in their hands, but was hidden in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. At that time, Emperor Taizong's condition worsened, and Yuan Tiangang had not yet found Shi Huang. The imperial mausoleum collapsed. Afterwards, Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Wu Zetian sent people to search for the elixir of life, but they still failed to find the real location of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor. This matter was left alone. Until today Emperor Xuanzong mentioned again that just now he sent Li Canghai to search for medicine."

"So that's the case. No wonder the suzerain has no doubts about this medicine." The black-robed man was filled with emotion, and suddenly excitedly said: "Li Canghai spent so much effort, but finally made a wedding dress for the suzerain. If the suzerain can live forever, then He is the Son of Heaven of the True Dragon! When the time comes to rule the country, he will be the emperor forever! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Saying that, the man in black bowed to Yang Guozhong and shouted long live.

Yang Guozhong heard the man in black yell long live, and laughed with his eyes shining.

"Aiqing, as long as my sect takes the elixir of life, I will immediately raise my troops and take over the Tang Dynasty. At that time, you will all be the heroes of the founding of the country! Hahaha!"

The black-robed man immediately took over the conversation, touched his head to the ground, and said respectfully: "Master, thank you Lord Long En!"

Immediately, the entire secret room was filled with Yang Guozhong's crazy laughter.

The three-day period is fleeting.

On the third day, Li Canghai was still doing nothing at home.

Neither went out to investigate the case, nor went to Dali Temple to handle official business.

Even Li Longji couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked Gao Lishi to urge him, telling him that if he failed to find the whereabouts of the elixir within three days, he would be severely punished.

Li Canghai didn't take Li Longji's order seriously, instead he took Gao Lishi to play chess with him all day.

Seeing night fell, Gao Lishi gradually became anxious.

"Master Li, the time limit given to you by the Holy Majesty is approaching, why don't you show any signs of anxiety?" Gao Lishi asked puzzled.

Li Canghai looked indifferent. He looked up at the moonlight that filled the courtyard, and said indifferently: "Life and death are determined, and wealth and honor are in the sky. If my fate should be like this, I can't blame others. It's still early, how about we play another game of chess?"

Gao Lishi sighed, and said: "Master Li, I know that you never do things that you are not sure about. But these three days, I don't understand it very well. You neither went out to investigate in person, nor asked people around you to investigate. , could it be that you are a fairy, and you want to use magic to find the elixir of life?"

Li Canghai smiled and said, "General Gao was joking, I am just a mortal, how can I know any magic spells? General Gao, please wait patiently for a while."

Although Gao Lishi couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Li Canghai was selling in the gourd, but seeing Li Canghai's confident appearance, he wanted to sit down and find out.

Time passed bit by bit, and soon it was midnight.

In the sky, a huge bright moon hangs high on the top.

The entire city of Chang'an was silent.

In Chang'an City, there is a Yuanjue Pagoda with a height of more than [-] feet. This pagoda is the tallest building besides the imperial city.

Standing on the tower, you can overlook the entire majestic Chang'an City.

At this time, there were some men in black standing around Yuanjue Pagoda.

These men in black closely monitored their surroundings, and there were several men in black and black robes standing on the top of the tower.

"Sovereign, why do you have to choose this place to take the immortal medicine?" one of them asked.

Surrounded in the middle, Yang Guozhong took off his mask, carefully took out a palm-sized wooden box from his arms, and said: "In this wooden box containing elixir, there are engraved ways to take it. If you want to exert the spiritual power of elixir , it must be taken at a high place at the time of the full moon, so that the yin and yang can be reconciled."

"Since that's the case, why didn't the suzerain go find a high mountain? Instead, take such a big risk and take food in Chang'an City?" the man asked in confusion.

"According to the description in the wooden box, taking the elixir must be done at the dragon vein. There are three dragon veins in Chang'an City, one of which is this Yuanjue Pagoda." Yang Guozhong said.

"So that's the case, suzerain, please take the elixir with peace of mind. The subordinates will do their best to protect the suzerain!" the man in black said solemnly.

Soon, the midnight is approaching.

Yang Guozhong opened the box carefully, took out an elixir with colorful colored glazes from it, and held it high above his head with an extremely excited expression.

Yang Guozhong was so excited that he knelt down to the Immortals and Buddhas in all directions, and then, with great excitement, he was about to swallow the elixir in one gulp.

But at this moment, a feathered arrow suddenly charged at Yang Guozhong's face with the momentum of thunder.

Yang Guozhong had quick eyes and quick hands, he turned sideways and dodged the feather arrow.

Before he could react, countless feathered arrows flew towards him in an instant.

At the same time, there was a sound of killing from under the tower.

Yang Guozhong turned over and jumped down from the top of the tower, dodging the feather arrow, looked down the tower, and his heart sank.

I saw many soldiers suddenly appeared under the tower, and those soldiers were waving torches, and they were in a melee with their own men.

"Surround Yuanjue Pagoda, no one can enter or leave, anyone who violates the order will be killed without mercy!"

With a cold shout, Jianning King Li Tan walked to the foot of the Yuanjue Pagoda surrounded by the crowd.

Yang Guozhong's face suddenly became ugly, he put the elixir in his arms, put on the ghost king mask, jumped down from the tower, and killed Li Tan.

The remaining men in black robes followed closely behind, rushed into the formation, and fought with Jianning Tiewei.

Yang Guozhong and Li Tan fought again, the two sides changed dozens of moves in an instant, but the winner was not determined.

But Yang Guozhong took advantage of Li Tan's flaws, raised his hand and threw a few thunderbolts, and then fled.
