In Weiyang Palace.
The new emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, staring in front of him calmly.
On both sides were several civil servants holding bamboo slips, scrolls, and tokens, with solemn expressions on their faces.
At the entrance of Weiyang Palace were Li Guang and Cheng Bushi.
Li Guang held his bow and stared into the distance, while Cheng Bushi held his sword in front of him. There was also a fierce battle back and forth between the imperial guards and some black shadow objects.
Occasionally, someone would be infected with corpse energy or die during a fierce fight. The opponent would be quickly carried down and tied up tightly with ropes and other objects.
In some areas, there were situations where precautions were not taken. Some guards and palace maids were invaded by the corpse energy and turned into zombies. They were extremely powerful and not afraid of the pain of death, causing a lot of chaos.
"Your Majesty, the Corpse Wudao of the Corpse Master School has been wiped out once..."
"One more annihilation!"
When the ministers spoke up, the new emperor's response was also indifferent.
This is a school that was wiped out when Emperor Jing was in power. Normal schools would be broken up after being wiped out, but the Shijiao school was an exception.
This is a school of thought between life and death. When you practice to a profound level, you can live as a human and die as a ghost, and you have the ability to survive in two lives.
When the imperial court wiped out the Shijiao school, the leader of the school was seriously injured and fled. The ineffective pursuit also allowed the opponent to make a comeback.
Some ministers were puzzled, but the new emperor had been warned many times by Emperor Jing and knew the truth.
But the new emperor did not use Emperor Jing's original words to emphasize.
He needs to slowly eliminate the influence of the previous generation, rather than reinforcing this influence and letting ministers continue to follow the old system when acting.
"Zhi Censor, can you tell where the corpse is?" the new emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, it's enough for us to guard Weiyang Palace tightly. Whenever the sky gets brighter, it will be difficult for Zhi Wu Dao to hide his true body and he will have to retreat!"
The new emperor asked, and an old minister in the court stood up holding a token.
His response was obviously extremely conservative, even answering the question, which made the new emperor frown slightly.
"Prime Minister Wei, what do you think?" the new emperor asked again.
"Your Majesty, I think Zhi Yushi is right," Prime Minister Wei Wan responded: "As long as the sky is brighter, it will be difficult for the corpse to hide, and we will find the hiding place."
"Marquis Wei Qi, what do you think?"
The new emperor frowned and asked again.
"Your Majesty, that corpse without a way used to be in the realm of self-centered cultivation, and his techniques are extremely weird. Now that he has turned into a dead thing, it is even more difficult to deal with." Wei Qihou Dou Ying said: "We don't know his methods, so we should adopt a more conservative response strategy." It’s appropriate to be stationed at Weiyang Palace!”
"What about something more radical?" the new emperor asked.
"A more radical approach would be to grab a zombie as a source and fight with the corpse to determine its location," Wei Qihou Dou Ying said.
"Why doesn't anyone fight?"
"This kind of fighting method will inevitably lead to physical illness caused by the corpse's energy. If we use our own shortcomings to attack the other's strengths, we will also be defeated. Death may occur even before we point out the position of the corpse!"
"oh!"
The new emperor responded softly.
This is a life-threatening job, so it’s no surprise that no one wants to do it.
No one takes the initiative to ask for help, and the new emperor cannot force others to die.
Emperor Jing lamented many times that he had no one to use, and he also needed the new emperor to cultivate his confidants.
As long as there are one or two true confidants, if these people do not take the lead, they will definitely not be as collusive as the current court.
As long as someone takes the initiative to be radical, it will inevitably form a herd effect, leading the ministers to act like wolves and tigers.
However, Prime Minister Wei Wan and Yu Shi Zhi Bu Ning behaved conservatively, and it was difficult for others to convince others even if they wanted to.
The new emperor understood clearly and stopped forcing everyone in the court.
"Your Majesty, Confucian monks are knowledgeable. If someone is familiar with what the Shi Jiao School has learned, it might not be so difficult to find out the Shi Wudao!"
"Who do you recommend, Marquis Wu'an?"
"Zhao Wan, Wang Zang, and Dong Zhongshu, they happen to be keeping vigil for the late emperor at this time, so it is convenient to summon them!"
Someone in the court came out and began to recommend monks, and even recommended three people in a row.
"Xu, go to the inner hall and call Zhao Wan, Wang Zang, and Dong Zhongshu to come!"
The new emperor nodded, indicating that this was feasible.
Regardless of whether he can deal with Zhi Wu Dao, there is no problem in calling the person to come and ask.
He didn't bother to care about the expressions on the faces of Prime Minister Wei Wan and Yu Shi Zhibu, and directly announced that Zhao Wan and others would be present.
The paging sound in Weiyang Palace died down, and in just a short moment, extremely rapid footsteps came from outside the palace.
Cheng Bushi and Li Guang, who were guarding the entrance of Weiyang Palace, looked at each other, then each took a step back, letting the three people enter the palace with a tacit understanding.
"If we can find Shi Wudao, it all depends on Brother Li's methods," Cheng Bushi raised his hand.
"As long as you can guard those monsters and monsters, you can leave the shooting to me!"
Li Guang nodded.
Shi Jiao's school of thought is not very capable of single-killing, but its ability to disrupt and be difficult to deal with really makes people lose their temper.
When there is no target, no matter how powerful his archery power is, he can't find the target.
If these three great Confucian scholars could find out where Shi Wudao was hiding, they would obviously be able to attack accurately.
"I hate this kind of opponent who hides and hides!"
Li Guang thought about Zhiwu Dao, and he couldn't help but also think about the demons in Shiwandashan. Those demons are not difficult to kill, but the difficulty is how to find them.
He also hopes to find enough opportunities and then solve the corresponding troubles with a fatal blow.
Just like they have no way to deal with corpses at this time.
Li Guang held an arrow with a red arrow in his left hand, and his eyes kept scanning everything near Weiyang Palace.
The dark night hides everything. Even if the palace is brightly lit, it is difficult to shine everywhere, which also gives the other party an excellent opportunity to hide.
Li Guang focused on every darkness.
But the results of this attention disappointed him.
No matter how sharp his eyes are, no matter how sensitive his aura perception is, he can't resist the fact that the other party is not an ordinary person.
Apart from corpse aura, it is difficult to find anything else on this dead thing.
At this time, funerals were still being held in the palace area. After being guided by the opponent to cast a spell, the most important thing was the corpse energy, which perfectly hid the opponent.
"Bring the body in!"
It wasn't until the Weiyang Palace spoke that Li Guang waved to the guards dozens of meters away and asked someone to carry a body that was contaminated with corpse aura after death to the Weiyang Palace.
"Brother Li, this corpse energy is just wandering outside the palace. Isn't it inappropriate for us to take the initiative to let the source of corpse energy into the palace?" Cheng Bushi said in a low voice.
"No matter how bad things are in the Weiyang Palace, there are still twelve great monks from the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers stationed there." Li Guangdao said: "If that corpse dares to sneak into the Weiyang Palace like this, as long as they can restrain them a little, I can shoot him with one arrow from my backhand! "
"That's fine!"
Seeing that Li Guang was confident, Cheng Bushi did not stop him.
There are risks involved in tracing the origin of magic in the palace, but it can also ensure the safety of Zhao Wan, Wang Zang, and Dong Zhongshu to the greatest extent.
"The universe is infinite, Yin and Yang borrow methods!"
The sound of Zhao Wan performing a spell came, and Cheng Bushi glanced around the hall, and then continued to scan everywhere outside the hall.
"I dare to show my embarrassment even if I learn a little bit!"
In the air, the gloomy voice was erratic, showing great disdain for Zhao Wan's spell tracing.
Zhao Wan in the main hall shouted loudly, and when the magic power was drawn outward, he saw that the corpse that had been moved in as a spell-casting medium quickly swelled.
A few seconds later, the corpse exploded with a bang.
