The morning light first appeared, shining outside the tent.
Li Xuan wore a black robe with gold threads and walked out of the tent. Li Zhu, who had been standing outside the tent, slightly arched his hand towards Li Xuan.
Li Xuan said in a low voice: "Tell everyone, if someone breaks into Queen Mother's coffin today, there is no need to stop them by force."
"Here!" Li Zhu nodded immediately and quickly passed on the order.
Li Xuan walked to the left side of the tent. In the big tent, there was Queen's coffin.
Ten Qianniu guards were guarding the coffin, looking heavy and solemn.
The black coffin was parked with no one paying homage.
Standing in front of the tent, he looked up and saw the towering Black Dragon Ridge rolling up and down, inviting people to explore, but unfortunately he had to return to the city today.
Li Xuan's eyes drooped slightly, Yin Ji Sect Yun Hebi, one of the sources of the Demon Sect's inheritance.
Decades ago, in the chaos of the late Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty rose and the Demon Sect was severely damaged.
The Tianyin Sect took advantage of the situation and became the leader of the Demon Sect. The King of East China Sea and the King of the Western Regions joined the Tianyin Sect one after another. However, although the Tianyin Sect seemed to be strong, its actual background was far inferior to that of the various sects of the Demon Sect.
Decades have passed, and various sects of the Demon Sect have begun to rise again. Tianyin Sect, the leader of the Demon Sect, can no longer suppress the development of each sect.
Even this time when the Tianyin Sect was destroyed, none of the sects of the Demon Sect came to help. Their intentions were clearly visible.
They no longer need this cover.
However, compared to the Tianyin Sect, although the various sects of the Demon Sect have a profound foundation, none of them has such a broad base of believers as the Tianyin Sect.
They are all extremely paranoid people. They don't have the patience to pursue any religion. They follow the path of killing, natural desire, bloodshed, greed, and cunning. Some sects even only have three or two people in their inheritance.
Although it is still dangerous, the threat to the entire Tang Dynasty is not as deep as the Taiyin Sect.
Even compared to the Tianyin Sect, these people who are rootless in nature do not have as deep aversion to the Tang Dynasty as the Tianyin Sect. On the contrary, under the banner of the Tang Dynasty, some of them are living better than before. If they are more nourished, they are the least likely to rebel.
The Yinji Sect is the inherited sect of the Demon Sect. No one knows how deep its background is, but whenever a branch of the Demon Sect is destroyed, the Yinji Sect will stand up and choose another sect to take over.
The eight sects of the Demon Sect are eternal and immortal.
Could it be that in the eyes of the Yinji Sect, the remaining members of the Tianyin Sect can no longer become one of the Demon Sects?
The queen must live!
The surrounding tents were quickly raised, and the army had withdrawn from the Immortal Valley.
Except for leaving a team of troops to temporarily garrison, the other sergeants have already evacuated to the foot of Heilong Ridge. They will return to Jiekou today, then transfer from Jiekou to Muzhou Xishan, and finally return to Muzhou.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from a distance. Li Xuan, who was packing up and loading the Queen Mother's black coffin into the carriage, frowned.
Suddenly, I saw Sima Chengzhen and Ming Chongyan walking towards the tent quickly. The Qianniu Guards around them subconsciously blocked them. Then I saw Sima Chengzhen wave his sleeves, and the Qianniu Guards on both sides were blocked. Thrown aside.
Seeing this scene, Li Xuan immediately waved his hand towards the outside, and the Qianniu Guards around him immediately retreated.
Seeing the coffin of the queen, and ignoring Li Xuan who was about to bow, Sima Chengzhen waved his sleeves, and then heard a "pop" sound, the black coffin wrapping the queen immediately exploded, and the frozen thing inside fell out. Beautiful queen.
At this moment, the surroundings suddenly went dark, and it was Li Xuan who lowered the curtain at this moment.
This prevented Empress Dowager's body from being exposed to the public.
Li Xuan stood on one side and watched calmly as Sima Chengzhen and Ming Chongyan walked towards Empress Wei's body without stopping them at all.
At this time, Ming Chongyan suddenly raised his head and looked sideways at Li Xuan with a frown: "Why didn't King Nanchang stop him anymore today?"
"The little king was just ordered to bring the queen back to Chang'an. As long as the queen's body is intact, everything else is beyond my authority." Li Xuan shook her head lightly.
"Really?" Ming Chongyan looked unbelieving, but he just looked up at Li Xuan and said
He said: "Or is it that King Nanchang has realized something?"
Li Xuan smiled coldly, then turned around and stopped talking to Ming Chongyan.
At this time, Sima Chengzhen, who was circling around the body of Empress A, suddenly sighed with emotion and said: "We have all been deceived. In fact, Empress A is not dead at all. She transferred all her mysterious fetuses into the Within the body, only the Yang God remains."
"Can the Yang God survive alone?" Li Xuan was a little puzzled. He walked to the other side, looked directly at Sima Chengzhen, and asked doubtfully: "Isn't it said that after seven days of leaving the body, the soul will begin to disperse into the world? Room?"
"It is true that the soul will begin to disperse to heaven and earth after seven days after leaving the body. That is because the human body will not completely die until seven days after the soul leaves the body." Sima Chengzhen looked at Li Xuan seriously and said instructingly: "There is a saying in Buddhism. , there are 84,000 worms in a bowl of water. There is a Taoist saying that the sun and moon in the pot are long... The same is true for the human body. Seven days after a person dies, the last living worm in the body will die, and the rest are all Dead bug."
Li Xuan nodded with some understanding.
The so-called live insects are the beneficial bacteria of the human body, and the so-called dead insects are the harmful bacteria of the human body.
After a person dies, the beneficial bacteria will die soon, and the harmful bacteria will multiply in large numbers and eventually decompose the body directly, which will happen a long time later.
Suddenly something occurred to her, and Li Xuan quickly asked: "It has been three days since the Queen's death. Doesn't that mean that as long as we wait four more days, the spirit of the Queen will begin to separate, and her death has come?"
"She has become the Yang God. This time will take a little longer, and her body will decay and decay much slower than expected. However, the connection between the Yang God and the body will be completely severed after seven days. After that, even Some methods are just lingering and waiting for self-defeat."
Sima Chengzhen raised his head, looked at Li Xuan, and said, "Your Majesty, the two of us may cause trouble to the King these days."
"It doesn't matter." Li Xuan waved her hand and said, "Originally, I have many affairs, so I will leave these matters to these two masters."
Li Xuan turned to look to the side and whispered: "Send the order, call Qiu Beishen back, we are going back to Muzhou."
"Here!" Li Zhu agreed, then turned and left.
"Why, the king also sent people to look for the soul essence?" Ming Chongyan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It's Qiu Beishen. He was a little worried about General Zhonglang, so he went out to look for him. After all, General Zhonglang was seriously injured when the water poured down from the sky before. If he encounters someone who is not easy to mess with, he will be in trouble." Li Xuan explained a few words casually.
"Is this really true?" Ming Chongyan looked unbelieving.
Li Xuan smiled faintly, and then said to Ming Chongyan: "You can think whatever you think, the real person. Just think that I still want to do my best for the two saints."
Second Saint?
Li Xuan's words made Ming Chongyan a little stunned.
At this time, Li Xuan looked around and shouted in a low voice: "Hurry up and re-nail the coffin, I'm getting ready to go."
On the mountain road, there are strict flags and numerous swords and guns, which are heavy and solemn.
The coffin of the queen was surrounded in the center of the army. It was the biggest trophy of their profession.
There were many Tianyin cultists wearing white linen mourning clothes around, sobbing softly and following the black coffin.
There were also two Taoist monks wearing black and white and purple Taoist robes accompanying them on both sides, holding whisks in their hands, looking extremely solemn.
Li Xuan was riding on a tall horse, with a long black bow hanging on the side of the horse. She was dressed in black clothes and black armor. Behind her were all the Qianniu Guards in red clothes and golden armor. They kept rising and falling with the horse, like a long wave.
"Don't worry, Zhonglang will be fine. There is no news about him now, which just means that it is good news." Li Xuan comforted Qiu Zhenmu in a low voice. Qiu Shenji has not had any news so far, which makes Qiu Zhenmu felt a little uneasy.
"Your Majesty, Master Shi Yin met Chen Zhong, Master Dao Yin caught up with the Tubo Imperial Master, and the remaining two, one is the demon monk Wu Ai from Wusheng Dao, and the other is Su Lianyu, the master of Tianyu Palace, if It's a good thing he bumped into one of them
, If we meet two, I'm afraid..." Qiu Zhenmu said this, the worry on his face became more and more serious.
Li Xuan looked at Ming Chongyan and Sima Chengzhen not far away, a cold light flashed deep in his eyes, then looked at Qiu Zhenmu gently and said: "You and I know best what kind of person the Zhonglang will be. If it is true, If he encounters an enemy that is difficult to defeat, he will retreat quickly, lest he encounter an opponent he thinks he can defeat, but something unexpected happens in the end..."
Li Xuan couldn't help but lowered her voice. Qiu Zhenmu was keenly aware of something and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what do you know?"
Li Xuan shook her head and said, "Just wait, there will be news in three or two days as early as five or six days as late as possible."
Regarding the matter of Empress Yangshen, Li Xuan strictly prohibited anyone from mentioning it again.
Qiu Zhenmu was not in the camp that day, and other companions did not dare to tell him.
Now I can't bear to tell him that if anything happens to Qiu Shenji...
The army quickly arrived at the street entrance, and the queen's coffin was immediately transferred to the boat. The boat was not very fast, the river was winding, and there were many reefs. If you were not an experienced boatman who was familiar with the lanes, you would not know where to go quickly and where to go. slow.
The queen's black coffin was placed on the deck, with a dozen Tianyin believers on both sides wearing white linen mourning clothes and sobbing softly.
But the voice must not be too high.
Li Xuan was sitting in the cabin, at the head of the desk, writing a memorial.
The emperor asked him to deliver a memorial to the East Palace every three days. At this time, they were quite lucky, and they were not in a situation where their escape route was cut off. Otherwise, Li Xuan really didn't know how he would deliver the memorial at that time. ap.
At this time, Li Zhu quickly walked in from the outside and whispered in front of Li Xuan: "Your Majesty, the person has been found."
Li Xuan's eyes couldn't help but be happy. Ming Chongyan and Sima Chengzhen, who were sitting on one side, looked over at the same time.
Li Xuan quickly waved her hand and said, "It's not the general, but a craftsman who used to work in the Ministry of Works. Liu Gong and the General Supervisor of the Ministry of Works once asked Xiao Wang to find someone, but now they can't find him?"
Li Xuan stood up, raised her hands to Sima Chengzhen and Ming Chongyan, and said, "You two great men, Xiao Wang will come as soon as you go."
After leaving the cabin and boarding the boat, Li Xuan looked solemn and whispered to herself: "Gunpowder!"
