There is no one else who can be called a god by Zhao Huan, it is Qiao Daoqing, the "Illusion Demon King" whose pseudonym is "Guo Jing".
Qiao Daoqing recommended Lei Heng to the city because he wanted to help protect the city. But when the crisis came, he himself was ready to take action——
He wanted to train a Liujia magic army, and he was recruiting people who were born in the year of rat, chicken, and dog through the Taoist officials in Bianliang to join the army.
When he thought about it, the capital of the country, which his brother had taken for himself, should not be thrown into the hands of foreigners.
However, God did not go as he wished. Even though the magic of "Illusion Demon Lord" was astonishing, it could not be said that the human heart was deceitful.
Who would have thought that a few treacherous ministers dedicated the capital of this great country to the Liao people as a token of surrender just because they were afraid of being liquidated by the emperor?
In addition to being angry and helpless, he shook his feet and shook Zhao Huan away: "Hurry and gather the nobles in the palace, and I will lead you and others to escape."
Since we can't save this city, we might as well keep these golden branches and jade leaves. Otherwise, if they fall into the hands of foreigners, they will lose the Han family's face.
Fortunately, the Song Dynasty's imperial palace was very small. In less than half an hour, all the nobles from the harem had gathered at the foot of Genshan Mountain.
Thanks to the quick reaction of the guard at Lijing Gate in the inner city, he closed the city gate in time to prevent Liao Qi from crashing in. Otherwise, there would be no time for Qiao Daoqing to save people.
Wu Yanguang saw him closing the door and going around the inner city to kill the generals. For a time, the city was full of flames, and the whole city was in chaos.
The cries and howls from the outer city reached Genshan, making a group of orioles cry and scream, "Master Immortal, help me."
Qiao Daoqing glanced at it and his scalp exploded: Damn those old parents! This dog official is really a stallion!
Those gathered here include the concubines of the old official family, including concubines, concubines, talents, beauties, etc. who have been exposed to rain and dew, the total number is seventy-five;
Then there are the princes, including the new official Zhao Huan, there are twenty-six in total, and then there are the emperors and concubines, there are seventeen in total -
Jiade Emperor Zhao Yupan married Zuowei General Zeng Wei, and Rongde Emperor Zhao Jinnu married Zuowei General Cao Sheng, but they never lived in the palace.
There is also Zhao Fujin, the concubine of Maode Emperor, who was kidnapped by Huaixi strongmen several years ago and her whereabouts are unknown to this day.
Except for these imperial concubines and those nobles who died early or died in infancy, all the living people are here now. Including Zhao Huan's wife and children, there are a total of one hundred and twenty people.
In addition to the eunuchs and maids who served them, there were no less than seven or eight hundred people. All of them looked panicked, pale-skinned, and trembling, for fear of being abandoned.
Qiao Daoqing gritted his teeth and pointed to his feet. A white cloud appeared, held his feet, and flew several feet high.
When the nobles saw him performing his great magic, they all looked up blankly and stopped crying for a while.
Qiao Daoqing raised his eyebrows and said in a clear voice: "Hey! Zhao family's mother-in-law and children, listen to the truth. Now the treacherous ministers have turned the switch and the Liao soldiers have invaded. Seeing that Bianliang is no longer safe, it seems like you are waiting for these birds and women to fall into his hands. Are you afraid that they will all end up as slaves and prostitutes? Although this is the bitter fruit that your old emperor brought upon himself by allowing evil spirits and lustful selfish desires, but after all, you are also the royal family of a country. For the sake of the face of the Han people in the world, you have the right to save you and others. For once! If you want to survive, you have to listen to the arrangements of the poor man. Did you know that?"
His words were so rude that the concubines and princes were secretly angry. However, they were under the eaves at this moment and had no choice but to swallow their anger. They all said, "I just obey the decree of the Immortal Chief."
Qiao Daoqing is used to being in the world, so why can't he see that he has different expressions and that some people have hidden agendas?
It's just that he had his own opinions, and he didn't care about the likes and dislikes of these people. He smiled contemptuously and continued: "In this case, I will use magic to help you escape. It's just that since ancient times, the law has not tainted the human emperor. The Tao will use means to cover up the nobility in you and others."
After saying that, he lowered his cloud head and waved his hand. A gust of wind blew up from the ground. An old peach tree on Gen Mountain was in full bloom. Countless petals rolled down at once, and they all fell into Qiao Daoqing's palms with the wind.
Qiao Daoqing said: "Is there any good female beauty? Find some gold and silver threads and connect these petals for me."
Empress Dowager Zheng said hurriedly: "Jin Qiuyue, Xu Sanhua, Lu Jiaonu, Xi Zhuzhu, you guys, go help the immortal."
The women she ordered were all the best in needlework among the concubines. They didn't dare to neglect them. They came forward and shyly took the petals from Qiao Daoqing's palm. They took the needles with the maids and picked out gold and silver threads from their clothes. , then carefully sew the petals into a string.
The women here were busy with their work. Qiao Daoqing went to the palace, caught a big black dog and killed it. He took out the blood, squeezed some willow branches and leaves, mixed the water into it, and messed around with it, making a big pot of work.
Let a Taoist boy hold it and stand aside.
He is said to be a Taoist boy who is in his twenties, but he accidentally met him when he contacted Taoist officials in the city. His Taoist nickname is "Ai Qizi". Because of his skill in small illusions, he also got a name in Bianliang. People call him "the flower falling in his dream".
Ai Kouzi was still dissatisfied with Qiao Daoqing and was jealous that he was favored by the emperor alone, so he secretly used some magic tricks to make Qiao Daoqing look good and ugly.
Who is Qiao Daoqing? He had seen the clues a long time ago, but he used a trick to make this guy fall into a fantasy and couldn't extricate himself. He took off his clothes, hugged the pillar and groaned for a long time, making an embarrassing scene in public.
Unexpectedly, Ai Qi was also a man of Taoism. He did not bear any grudge after the incident, but instead clung to Qiao Daoqing with all his heart, as long as he studied Dharma with him.
Seeing the sincerity of his intentions, Qiao Daoqing simply kept him by his side and became a Taoist boy.
Qiao Daoqing walked to the lake under Gen Yue, held his sword with his hair loose, and muttered something. After a long while, he pointed his sword into the lake and shouted: "Quick!"
Then there was a thunderclap, and a mighty white mist emerged from the water, covering the entire lake in an instant.
It then spreads along the Jinshui River downstream to the moat of the inner city, and then continues to the Guangji River and Bianshui River.
In a short time, white mist appeared in all the places where the water system connected inside and outside Bianliang, covering the waterways.
How have all the concubines and noble girls ever seen such a magical technique? Everyone was stunned. .
Qiao Daoqing took a deep breath, waved his sleeves, and swept away some of the white mist. He went to pick up the bunch of peach blossoms, muttered something in his mouth, and placed it gently on the lake.
Then he stood up, stepped on the Gang, and performed seventy-two finger gestures in succession. However, he heard a loud sound and a dazzling white light flashed through. The string of petals turned out to be unparalleled in size. Just a single petal would have a radius of one or two feet. There are gold and silver chains strung between each other, hundreds of feet in front and back, rising and floating in the lake like giant dragons, giving a completely fairylike atmosphere.
When everyone saw it, they felt extremely shocked, and they all bit their fingers and trembled.
Qiao Daoqing was already sweating profusely after using this method. He turned around and said, "Come on, all of you, and board my peach blossom treasure ship one by one."
The Ninth Prince Zhao Gou, seeing that everyone did not dare to move, said first, "Master Immortal, I will go first!"
He walked quickly and was about to get on the petal, but Qiao Daoqing grabbed him and called the Taoist boy Ai Qizi. He took out a pen from his sleeve and dipped it into the sticky substance mixed with black dog's blood and willow sap. Write a talisman on Gou's forehead.
Zhao Gou felt his forehead sink, as if he had lost something, but he heard Qiao Dao say calmly: "Since ancient times, the law has not touched the human emperor. You have some imperial aura in your body. The poor Taoist used some small tricks to deceive the secrets of heaven, and you can get it." Get on this peach blossom treasure ship."
After saying that, Zhao Gou stepped onto the boat in confusion.
With the leader in the lead, the people behind became bolder and rushed to get on the boat, but were stopped by Qiao Daoqing. Anyone related to the emperor, whether concubines or children, had runes written on their foreheads. Zhao Huanyin was the current emperor. , and his face was covered with runes, while the other eunuchs and maids were fine.
Not long after, nearly a thousand people were served with dozens of peach blossoms. Qiao Daoqing smiled evilly and secretly felt proud: Pindao's dragon-slaying talisman was good at killing dragons. Now, except for the Supreme Emperor who had gone to his own death, all these people's dragon energy was gone. Being injured, he lost the protection of luck. If my brother does great things, it will be easier to win the will of God and the people!
After thinking about it, I was in a good mood. I jumped on the peach blossom boat and stepped on a flower petal. I stamped my feet. The lake water was not windy and the waves were making the long row of peach blossom boats whirring quickly.
Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou were both on the top of the peach blossom. They saw white mist flowing on both sides, and waves rolling under the petals. They were moving faster than a galloping horse. Not long after, they passed through the palace city from the Jinshui River.
Zhao Gou suddenly shouted: "Ah, the water gate of Tianbo Gate has not been opened, but what can we do?"
Tianbo Gate is located in the northwest corner of the inner city of Bianliang, also known as Jinshui Gate.
Out of this gate, the Jinshui River divides into two branches, one leads to the Xianfeng Water Gate in the West City, the Northwest Water Gate, and the other leads to the Guangji River. After exiting the Weizhou Gate in the North City, the Yongshun Water Gate, you can reach the Yellow River.
Qiao Daoqing laughed and said: "The Ninth Prince is too worried. The poor Taoist form comes from the water. What kind of water gate can stop the poor Taoist? Just wait and see!"
He stretched out his hand and pointed, and Zhao Gou and Zhao Huan followed his fingers and pointed. They were both stunned.
What do you think? But there were several iron fences in front of them, as tall as the sky and the earth, and I don't know how many tens of thousands of feet they were. The gaps between the fences were extremely wide. The Peach Blossom Boat went upstream, and with a breath, it got out between the fences.
Ai Qizi, a Taoist boy named "Flowers Falling in a Dream," looked at this scene and seemed to have some enlightenment. He whispered: "Master, it's not that the petals have become bigger, but that we have become smaller, right?"
Qiao Daoqing glanced sideways at him: "Big and small, small and big, true and false, false and true, don't you know: Tao is born in nothingness, creation comes from infinity, what you see is what you think, and everything is understood in one thought."
Ai Qizi heard something in his heart, nodded repeatedly, grinned twice, and suddenly shed tears again.
Seeing that he understood somewhat, Qiao Daoqing nodded secretly, shook his head, and suddenly sang a song——
"Master Tao is originally a fairy in the water, walking on the waves of the world of mortals in the sea of suffering.
Rise up and slay a hundred and two dragons, the wind comes and wields the sword in the ninth heaven! "
Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou trembled when they heard this. The two brothers couldn't help but look at each other: their father named him "The Mighty Spirit of the Protector of the Country Reveals the Blessing of the Real Person". The Taoist teachings are indeed earth-shattering. How come he has a wild temper? The Taoist songs that other Taoist priests sing have a quiet and open-minded spirit. Why is the song he sings so murderous?
The two brothers did not dare to say anything. They could only hear the wind whistling and the tide sounding like drums. They did not know how long it had passed or where they had gone. When they were confused, they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Hey? Huazhou Ferryman" ? Where did this demon king come into being and have such astonishing deeds? Did he plunder hundreds of people at once for blood food? Now that the poor man has seen it, he wants to do justice for heaven and block him! "
As soon as the words came out, the sky was full of thunder, and the white mist on all sides suddenly dispersed. Everyone on the Peach Blossom Treasure Boat looked around and saw turbid waves in front, back, left, and right, and they screamed in fear.
Then I heard Qiao Daoqing scream: "Five Thunder Tiangang Zhengfa! Damn it, who is here? Are you treating the poor Taoist as a monster? Let's see the Taoist Samadhi True Water Dharma!"
Someone had broken his blindness spell, and he was furious for a moment. He drew out his sword and stared into his blue eyes, ready to unleash his extraordinary supernatural power.
But I heard someone shouting: "What is Samadhi True Water? Could it be my brother Qiao?"
This voice was very familiar. Qiao Daoqing quickly stopped and shouted: "Brother Wu? Why are you here? That's all, let's meet you later!"
But it was said that Cao Cao and others followed the Jin soldiers' old march, tidying up the place, appeasing the people, and recruiting soldiers and horses. Therefore, they traveled slowly. It was not until this day that they walked out of the Taihang Mountains and came to the bank of the Yellow River. They were about to go up the river. When they were crossing the river to Mengzhou, Shi Qian had good eyesight and pointed into the river and shouted, "Brothers, look, what is that?"
When everyone took a look, they saw a ball of white mist the size of a tabletop, sticking to the water surface and flying against the current. There was a faint string of petals in the white mist, and the petals were full of ants.
Things as light and fluffy as flower petals will naturally fall when the water hits them. How can they go against the current? What's more, the white mist was also strange. When Cao Cao and others saw it, they all said it was strange and rushed to the waterside to see the strange thing.
Gongsun Sheng had a discerning eye. He immediately opened his discerning eye and took a look. Where were the ants on the petals? They were all obviously people, and all of them were dressed in extraordinary clothes. They were obviously first-class nobles.
Immediately he was shocked and said: "Brother, there may be mountain spirits and wild monsters in the deep mountains and swamps. They use illusions to rob people and make them blood food for them to eat! This guy robbed nearly a thousand people. He must be some earth-shattering monster, or something from the Yellow River." King Jiao also has no idea, if we ignore him, he will surely bring harm to the whole world!"
Cao Cao shouted: "We have many brothers here. What monsters are we afraid of? The Taoist priest just takes action, and we will all come to help."
Gongsun Sheng immediately used the Five Thunder Technique to break through the white mist, but he was afraid that the people on the boat would fall into the water and did not even dare to overturn the petals.
When Qiao Daoqing saw someone breaking the law, he was naturally furious. The two sides were about to fight, but Lao Cao heard Qiao Daoqing's voice and screamed out immediately.
Qiao Daoqing was also surprised and happy, so he made a trick, rushed to the river bank with the flower boat, and then stopped the spell. .
Those golden branches and jade leaves felt that the boat suddenly disappeared under their feet. They were so horrified that they almost peed. They fell down one after another with screams. Only then did they realize that they were sitting on the shore. A few sharp-eyed people still saw the wet ground on the ground. Little petals.
Lao Cao and others only saw a small wave hitting the shore, and then their eyes flashed. Countless men and women appeared out of thin air in front of them. Although their postures were inelegant and their faces were pale, their appearance, clothing, and temperament were all rare in the world. They couldn't help but stare at them in shock. Xiang Qiao Daoqing: "Brother Xian, what tricks are you doing?"
Zhao Gou helped his brother stand up. He was also frightened by the incident and lost three souls. He reluctantly looked around and saw that these people and horses were clearly real people. He was very courageous at the moment. He saw that his family had lost their dignity and was eager to find them. Seeing the scene, he hurriedly shouted: "How brave! Why don't you bow down after seeing the current emperor?"
Cao Cao took a look and saw that there was indeed a young man wearing a dragon robe. Judging from his clothes, he was undoubtedly the emperor of the Song Dynasty. He couldn't help but wonder: "When did the emperor change? I have never seen this emperor before."
Zhao Gou said angrily: "Bold! You..."
Unexpectedly, Jiao Ting pounced forward and slapped Zhao Gou face to face: "How dare you, the emperor that my brother has never seen before must be a fake!"
There are different teachings: the flower boat leaves Tokyo with white waves, and the turbid water and thunder shock the noble lady. Zhao Jiu wanted to find out the situation, but he didn't realize that Jiao Ting was ruthless!
