Returning to the Imperial Master's Mansion, Li Xiuyuan took a late nap.
He didn't know how long it had been since he had such a peaceful and solid sleep.
However, when he woke up, he discovered a helpless fact... The clothes he was wearing were torn by him in his dream.
Startled, he grabbed the bronze mirror by the window, wiped it vigorously, and stared at it silently.
As one night passed, the thirteen-year-old boy turned into eighteen years old, or even more than eighteen years old.
It is he who acts on behalf of Heaven in the name of Heaven and in the name of the King of the Five Regions Imperial City.
He was still cut off by the Heavenly Dao of the Five Domains, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly as he grew up overnight.
He murmured to himself: "Is it possible that every time I make a move, I become two years older? Or are you putting Xiao Hei's debt on my head?"
He somewhat understood why the old Taoist priest did not let Lao Hei transform. As a three-legged golden crow, the heavenly ways of the five realms could not do anything to Xiao Hei, because he did not belong to this world.
As a native of the Five Realms, he is naturally bound by the laws of heaven here.
Shaking his head, he went to find clothes that fit him.
Fortunately, Li Qiu Shui, the eldest sister in Ding'an City, had prepared dozens of sets of clothes for him for the next ten years, so he no longer had to worry about it.
After changing into black clothes, he went to the kitchen to wash up, and after asking the housekeeper, he found out that Tang Chao and his wife had gone out early in the morning.
Li Xiuyuan didn't even have to think about it. These two people must have gone to find Hua Tianqiu.
He returned to the teahouse to boil water and make tea, wondering whether Nalanyu, the imperial army, Wang Tianhua and others could completely clean up the imperial city within five days.
After all, this is an imperial city and cannot be closed for too long.
He also thought that with his current appearance, his two godsons and goddaughters could finally call him godfather.
Just kill him, as long as he can avenge the dead, what if he ages a few decades longer?
At worst, you can find a quiet place to hide and slowly understand your past and past events.
Spend some more time to recast the Shura Sword and make it a real human sword.
A mortal sword.
While boiling water, he released his spiritual consciousness and locked onto Xiao Hei, Nalan Yu and his group. He didn't sigh softly until the blazing flames burned.
Where Xiao Hei is around, he basically doesn't have to worry.
Then, he scanned the inner courtyard of the palace and the four city gates, and finally landed on Wei Qingyu.
In front of him, Wei Qingyu, who was not distracted by the seventh-level god, actually had to fight against the black-clothed monk at the peak level. Li Xiuyuan sighed again.
Xin Dao, you can’t forget to practice as soon as you get married?
As he waved, he held an iron bow in his hand and a black talisman arrow in his right hand.
Walking out of the flower hall, looking in the direction of the south city gate, he bent his bow and arrow, and said softly: "I wish you good luck!"
"Buzz!" With a long cry, the iron arrow pierced the wind and snow above the Imperial Master's Mansion, passed through the streets and alleys of the Vientiane Imperial City, and arrived at the long street outside the South City.
The black monk in black clothes passed through the rain of arrows, like an arrow of death, galloping on horseback, and the long sword was about to strike Wei Qingyu's head...
There was a bang, and the talisman arrow in the wind pierced the chest of the black-clothed monk who was at the peak of his concentration, and then a golden flame burned blazingly.
more than! That’s not all! !
The talisman arrow accelerated all the way, with a huge impact, flying back with the burning monk in black, until the iron arrow penetrated the city wall.
Only a golden flame burned brightly on the south gate wall.
The frightened horse neighed in front of Wei Qingyu, lost its owner, had a heavy crossbow pierced through its neck, and fell heavily in front of Wei Qingyu.
However, this is just the beginning!
In the wind and snow, more black talisman arrows flew one after another, and when the arrows came out, they were about to take away a life!
There were hundreds of soldiers at the south city gate, and Wei Qingyu, holding a long sword in his hand, looked at the scene in front of him, stunned and speechless!
After a while, he said softly: "Thank you, Master!"
So, a group of generals couldn't help but cheered: "The national master is mighty, the city lord is mighty!"
The few remaining monks in black were so frightened that they turned around and left with their horses.
In their opinion, the worst thing they could do was find an inn in the city to stay first, and then leave the city after the storm had passed.
After all, they are not the main culprits. Not many people should remember their faces. Living right now is more important than anything else.
Wei Qingyu turned to look at the city wall, looking at the burning monk in black, and couldn't help but sigh heavily.
…
In the Imperial Master's Mansion, Li Xiuyuan had put away his bow and arrows and returned to the flower hall to make tea.
Looking at the cup of spiritual tea under my eyes, looking at the young smiling face in the tea, I couldn't help but murmur to myself: "Tomorrow, will you become older again?"
In his opinion, if something like this happens at the South City Gate again, maybe he will become similar to Nalan Yu and the emperor.
It wasn't until he had eaten the breakfast brought by the butler, drank two cups of spiritual tea, and sat at the table that he copied a few pages of scriptures that he had personally given to the old monk Xuanbei of Qingliang Temple in Baiyu City.
Xiaoju and Tang Chao walked into the flower hall amid a burst of shouting.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan sitting quietly at the table, Xiao Ju and Tang Chao were stunned.
Xiao Ju was speechless for a while, and Tang Chao screamed strangely: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and sighed softly, and said quietly: "Because I am in charge of what happens in the imperial city, and in the eyes of God, this matter is not my responsibility..."
Xiaoju came up and took his hand. The corners of her mouth moved for a long time, but she couldn't speak.
It was Tang Chao who said: "Sister Hua said she would bring vegetables for dinner in the evening and asked my brother to prepare the wine."
Li Xiuyuan nodded. It was normal for Hua Tianxia to come over, but it seemed that he had to explain to that guy again today.
The Zhu Shi released told him that Wei Qingyu from the south city gate had led a group of soldiers to clean up the battlefield. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the two of them and said, "Drink tea."
Tang Chao thought for a while, looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked softly: "Brother, how come you don't have any cultivation base? Is it possible that God here bullied you for not having any cultivation base? Only one night has passed..."
In his opinion, it would be terrible if his brother would suddenly turn into an old man tomorrow.
It goes beyond his understanding of the five realms of heaven and the life of a monk.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head, poured the spiritual tea for the two of them, and said calmly: "Don't think about anything, drink this cup of spiritual tea first, and see if I can recognize that you have realized the power of heaven and earth."
Li Xiuyuan didn't want to explain his physical condition to anyone. In his opinion, it was unnecessary.
Even if he grows old one day, he will either choose to go to the Tianshan Mountains or go back to the small courtyard of Prajna Temple.
Whether it was Nalan Yu, the emperor, or a group of relatives and friends in Fengyun City, they were not within the scope of his consideration.
It is very likely that the old Taoist priest will take Xiao Hei away at that time, because he does not know his last moments and how many years it will take for the space to transform into a butterfly.
After all, this is a practice that even my husband has not been able to complete.
Xiaoju was stunned, picked up the spirit tea in front of her, sniffed it gently, and then took a shallow sip.
Then, regardless of how surprised Tang Chao was, he drank one mouthful after another.
Tang Chao looked at Li Xiuyuan who was calm and calm. Naturally, he would not lag behind Xiao Ju. He imitated her and took one sip after another, sipping a cup of spiritual tea.
With a faint smile, Li Xiuyuan continued to serve the two of them spiritual tea.
These two friends who had been with him since childhood were still stuck in the middle stage of distraction after all these years, which made him feel heartbroken.
For this reason, he doesn't mind using elixirs that the two of them can afford to improve their practice to the point of overcoming tribulation. Can't survive the thunderstorm? It doesn't matter, I have the talisman.
After drinking two cups of spiritual tea, the couple fell into an epiphany.
Li Xiuyuan drank the spiritual tea in the cup, stood up and walked outside the flower hall. The wind and snow were just right, and he wanted to continue his snow-cutting.
Just as she told Nangong Ruyu on Tianshan Mountain, the Snow-cutting Sword will accompany her throughout her life.
And he didn't mind.
…
Today, the Imperial City is in chaos, because traders waiting to go out find that the four city gates have been closed, and they can only be released after five days.
And the people who went out to buy groceries early found that there were many times more Imperial Guards on the streets than before.
Although Nalanyu led the imperial army and Wang Tianhua's Baiyucheng soldiers, they had already controlled the entire imperial city.
However, the situation in the Imperial City became chaotic. The imperial army and the Linghu family had previously faced off and even fought. The Imperial City did not know what happened.
Most people who bought groceries and returned home warned their families not to go out. The frightened people were waiting for everything to settle down and the imperial city to issue an announcement.
Explain to them what is happening and tell them there is no need to panic in the future.
The four city gates have been closed. At such a dangerous moment, the people of the imperial city did not think of escaping from the city to seek refuge.
Instead, they were waiting for the Queen above them to give them a reasonable explanation.
The only thing that makes the people feel relieved is that, at least in the current imperial city, because the Imperial Guards are patrolling the streets and alleys, there are no wandering remnants of soldiers or bandits breaking into houses and looting.
As long as they can stay at home safely, as long as no housebreaking and robbery occurs.
Even if there are chaotic sounds on the street from time to time, it will not affect people's lives too much.
After Nalan Yu destroyed the Linghu family, he checked the living monks one by one and investigated the case of those who participated in the secret investigation of the palace guards that day.
Wu Tiancheng led the imperial army to take the guilty people to the imperial city prison, while Nalan Yu led Wang Tianhua and other large groups to move forward.
Except for a few ministers in the court who are innocent, all aristocratic families will be investigated and cleaned up.
This is the beginning of Li Xiuyuan's reckoning.
While conducting door-to-door inspections, Nalanyu sent out the imperial army to begin to clean up order in the entire imperial city.
The imperial city is too big, and even if it cannot be fully controlled for a while, the patrols on the streets will not stop.
Only the doors of the major aristocratic families seemed to be in chaos, because Nalan Yu did not give them much time, and the major aristocratic families and the ministers of the DPRK had already received the information.
The towering tree of the Linghu family in the imperial city has fallen. If they continue to resist, they will be seeking death.
The Queen is dead, the Linghu family has fallen, and the ministers and families in the imperial city are panicking.
No one would have thought that the Imperial Master, who had soared through the imperial dynasty, would come back.
And after returning to the imperial city, the first thing he did was to depose Su Qingyue, the Imperial Preceptor, behead the eunuch, and even behead the Queen.
You know that the Queen is the late Emperor's woman? !
Even so, the Imperial Master mercilessly chopped him off with his sword! In the blink of an eye, the imperial city returned to the winter of that year.
Overnight, the whole city was filled with yellow scarves!
Nalanyu and Wang Tianhua worked tirelessly through and through the deep courtyard houses of every family and minister, and no one dared to resist as tenaciously as the Linghu family.
Xiao Hei, who was lying on Nalan Yu's shoulder, muttered to him boredly: "Remember to give Xiao Hei some money."
Nalan Yu was stunned, looked at him and smiled: "Does Xiao Hei also like the gold and silver coins in this world?"
Xiao Hei laughed and said, "Xiao Hei is going to stay here with his brother for a long time. How can he survive without money? Do you want Xiao Hei to starve to death?"
Wang Tianhua on the side smiled and said: "Master Imperial Master, you shouldn't be short of money, right?"
Xiao Hei was not happy when he heard this, and replied in a sharp voice: "Brother is not lacking, but I am."
