The carriage was traveling in the rain, and the silk curtains were drawn down to isolate the inside and outside.
The wind and rain beat on the roof, outer walls, and silk curtains of the carriage, like the crackling sound of fried beans.
There were many military chariots outside, pulled by horses, and the heavy ruts pressed on the official road, mixed with the sound of wind and rain, which was a special feeling.
When the battle was about to begin, Su Ziji pressed his sword with both hands and slowly closed his eyes.
All deployments and orders have been issued, the formation of troops has almost been completed, and I can finally have a moment of leisure.
"The following is a bird's eye view of the overall situation!"
In the night sky, there was wind, rain, and thunder, but it gave me a familiar feeling of nostalgia.
Above, a crystal-white baby dragon was circling, pushing hard against the clouds.
"The great success of Panlong's mind should be here!"
The young dragon did not refuse. The spiritual thoughts and the young dragon were united. The strong wind carried the raindrops. As they passed by, they swirled affectionately, and Loli's thin murmur came from among them.
"tasty!"
The little dragon girl was flying, and Su Ziji looked down from above, dotted all over the capital, covered in wind and rain, dotted with lights.
Countless star points are like ants, moving in the wind and rain, but most of them are only at Yunlongmen, where they gather.
At the Yunlong Gate and near the inner palace, intense auras were rising and falling, constantly colliding.
The bright light, blood red, rushed upward like waves.
The upside-down snare was densely intertwined with silk threads. It seemed that it had been shaken and a corner was missing.
The sound of drums came out in bursts and could be heard faintly in the sky.
Looking down, his team bypassed the Yunlong Gate and replaced it with the Shenwu Gate in Miyagi City.
"Everything is as I expected, Prince Qi, don't let me down, hold on a little longer and attract attention for me!"
Deep inside the palace
The secluded palace is slightly planted with low bamboo trees. There are high platforms and fences set up outside, with bonfires and candles hung everywhere.
The firelight penetrated the rain curtain, illuminating his eyes with red light.
More than a dozen eunuchs were outside the palace and were heavily guarded.
The hall was dark and quiet, and the tall alchemy furnace was humming with its blazing fire.
The thin-looking Taoist sat in front of the alchemy stove, looking tired.
"This furnace still won't work."
Behind him were two boys, wearing Taoist buns and Taoist robes, looking frightened.
"Master, if it doesn't work..."
The boy's words were trembling, but he suddenly stopped.
"There's nothing we can do about it."
The Taoist sighed, put down the cattail leaf fan in his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and opened a roll of cloth.
"My master and your master Bo Huo Wuyong have been in the palace for decades. They have studied alchemy all their lives and improved thousands of alchemy recipes."
"Among them, the only ones that have achieved great success are Fujiwara Dan, Jingyuan Dan, Shenyuan Dan, and Xiaohuan Dan... They are good at replenishing Jingqi and increasing life essence. Mortals can live to the end of their days and live a hundred and twenty years."
"However, if used on emperors, the efficacy of the elixir will be greatly reduced, and it will be less than one point out of ten."
"Now, my skills are exhausted, but it's not that the elixirs are useless, it's just that I'm dying."
He had a smile on his face, and that smile was a little cold.
"It's like a bucket that's full of holes. No matter how you add oil or water, it won't be able to keep it."
"If you want to live longer, you have to repair the barrel and rebuild it. But how difficult is it?"
"That's too far."
The Taoist shook his head slightly.
"I have no children. I adopted you since childhood, and you are like my own children."
"I am involved in many secrets and know too many secrets. If the alchemy fails and the emperor dies, I guess I will not be able to survive... But you are young and not deeply involved, but you can survive."
"master……"
Both Taoist boys had tears in their eyes.
"Idiot, life and death are common sense, why can't you look away?" The Taoist's eyes also dimmed a bit.
"In these years of alchemy, I have been conferred several times as a master. I have become a real person and have a somewhat obscure reputation in the world."
"Even if I die, I can justifiably leave my legacy and not be in trouble."
"It rained heavily all night, and I am always a little frightened, for fear of encountering other changes... Just retreat, take my token, and meet with your master, Huo Wuyou."
"master……"
"Why don't you go quickly? Are you trying to be pretentious..." the Taoist scolded.
The actual situation was worse than what he said. In fact, no matter whether he succeeded in refining the elixir or not, he knew too much and the value was not enough, he would have to die.
Want to break out?
Not to mention the bodyguards, even Meng Lin is beyond comparison.
"Even if it's due to being from the same sect, Huo Wuyong can win the most, and the disciple will survive, but why can't he escape!"
When the Taoist thought of this, his voice became fierce.
"Master!" Several boys looked like they were dressed as boys, but they were actually adults. They were more aware of the dangers of the palace. Seeing this situation, they couldn't help but kowtow and shed tears. They obeyed and exited the palace and hurried away.
The Taoist was sitting in the hall.
Under the eaves, it was windy and rainy, and the humidity filled the air, making it a bit colder.
"who?"
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw the bronze vessel with nine dragons moving. The dragon beads at the dragon's head suddenly lit up, and a red cloud rose into the sky and transformed into a dragon shape, even with a faint dragon roar.
"???"
The Taoist stood up suddenly, dumbfounded.
He knew that the Nine-Dragon Yili was aimed at the grandson, and it was not enough for a long time. It was only seven points, which made the emperor feel relieved but also a little disappointed.
"After all, the second generation is not enough for a prince!"
But now, he is so energetic that he even turns into a dragon-shaped cloud.
"The great grandson Tianming, the sun is rising in the east!" The Taoist was about to start in an instant. He was refining elixirs in his palace. No one was allowed to disturb him, so no one saw him. But as long as he went out or shouted, he could immediately report to the emperor. This was his own responsibility.
But just as he started to move, something suddenly changed again.
I saw a red dragon cloud, suddenly shooting out a strong red light, as red as blood, the brilliance was scorching, rising up like lightning, across the sky, shooting towards the north.
There was a faint roar in the sky, like the roar of a tiger, the roar of a dragon, and like the collision of gold and iron!
A purple star appeared in the due north. It was originally shining brightly, but with a "clang" sound, it was rushed by the blood light and suddenly shook violently. It was dark and unclear, and it was on the verge of collapse.
"this!"
The Taoist's eyes widened and his whole body trembled. Only when he looked carefully did he see that all the illusions in front of him suddenly disappeared. Candles were lit in the hall. How could there be any starry sky or stars?
"No, it's not an illusion, it's a strange appearance. It's Jiulongyi giving a warning!"
Today, it was my turn to take care of the Nine Dragon Instruments, so I happened to see this image... Then I thought about it and heard a "ding".
The jade beads held in the dragon's head suddenly fell down.
"This, this, this..."
If it were just an illusion, it could be said that it was temporarily unknown or was the work of King Qi, but with the Pearl Falling and the Dragon Roaring, it was very obvious.
The Taoist was suddenly stunned. For a long time, there was a cruel look on the corner of his mouth, and he looked up to the sky and laughed silently.
"The Pearl of Nine Dragons is used by the emperor to supervise his great-grandson. Now, with this appearance, not only does the great-grandson's destiny rise like the sun, but it also directly threatens the throne of the emperor!"
"Being angry with Ziwei is a sign of rebellion and killing the emperor!"
In the imperial palace, the sound of fighting could be vaguely heard not far away.
This is the king of Qi's attack, but why is there a sign that the prince is so angry that he will take the throne?
It must be that not only the King of Qi, but also the grandson may have arrived in the capital, and he is also eyeing it, intending to rebel!
In the flash of lightning and tongues of fire, the Taoist had already gained enlightenment.
