Lei Zufeng's Demonic Entrapment Palace was opened, and Fox Dragon entered. Seeing the suppressed prisoners of various crimes, he immediately snorted coldly:
"You failed to rebel by following King Lu. Now that you have ended up like this, do you have any regrets?"
Regret may not be present, but most people must say they regret it in order to survive.
The sin cultivators cried bitterly, hoping to escape this torturous time, but Hulong revealed his identity and expressed that he was from Fusi, the northern town of the imperial court. The sin cultivators immediately stopped their expressions and shouted angrily, saying I would rather starve to death in the Trapped Demon Palace than bow to the imperial court!
Nonsense, if you lower your head, you will die! You commit such a serious crime, enter Beizhen Fusi and still want to come out alive?
You can at least survive for a few more years in the Trapped Demon Palace!
All the sin cultivators said that I don’t regret it at all now, so don’t come to arrest us, just let us stay in this trapped devil palace for a few more years!
"You have a beautiful idea! I will not take you away today, but I will keep your lives! I will report to the emperor before I punish you!"
Fox Dragon has no documents about how to deal with them. Of course, there is no way to punish them, nor can they take them back to the Forbidden City. After all, the Forbidden City is now flying up to the sky. According to Zhang Tianshi, throw these foreign criminals out as long as they can. It’s a good place. There must be no safety hazard. If one day such a person regains his strength and self-destructs, it can really turn hundreds or even thousands of people into a mess.
Of course, there are deeper reasons...
"When I came here, I met some people..."
Hu Long and Ji Xiang gave a simple explanation. When he came to Wudang Mountain, he saw some great monks from other sects. They gathered together with gray heads and depressed expressions, and flew towards the northeast. After stopping them, they learned that what happened before Wudang Mountain Something happened.
If these criminal cultivators were to be killed directly, then the court would have no reason to let the monks from those sects go to help in the battle. It would be better to keep them in custody in Wudang Mountain for the time being, and the court would make a promise to them and let them kill the enemy to earn money. Get military exploits to redeem people.
This will, to a certain extent, prevent the great monks from engaging in warfare.
Although the guilty cultivators themselves have made a big mistake, if they do not die in their own mountain gate, but are executed by the court or Wudang Mountain, then their own mountain gate's face will be lost, especially Chongyang Palace and Laoshan. The leader of Quanzhen Dao in the world, if such a bad incident occurs, it is very likely that the few believers will be separated again. Therefore, this time when going to Korea to fight, not only will Ji Xiang be recruited, but also members of various sects will be dispatched. The monks went to support.
Immortal versus Immortal, mortal versus mortal, this is fair.
As for the situation in Shuntian Mansion. Now the offices of Beizhen Fu have also been moved to the imperial city area... no, to be precise, within the Shuntian area, basically all the prisoners in the prison have been taken out and redistributed according to the severity of their crimes. .
As a result, Old Shen Weijing, who had been locked up in the sky prison before, was also released and re-entrusted with important tasks.
Moreover, Old Man Shen also wanted to volunteer to continue to go to the Korean battlefield to use his remaining energy, but Emperor Wanli vetoed it. This made Old Shen very sad. After all, he was finally released from prison, but he couldn't see his good brother. The combination of "Wolong and Phoenix" could not be restored. As a Wolong, he could not strategize and win thousands of miles. It was really a pity.
He said that he didn't know whether the Japanese Army's President Konishi, as his good brother and "Fengchu", would be able to survive after the war.
As for the haunted Dongyue Temple land that no one wanted, it was given to a Western missionary to build a Christian church. Many people said that the place was unclean. The Western bearded man said that he I like unclean places!
In unclean places, land is cheap!
"Roughly speaking, the situation in Shuntian is like this. The next person who comes here should be Shen Weijing. He is crying for the real person to accept him as his disciple. I think he can be the supervisor of the Trapped Demon Palace... "
"As for real people, please be sure to go to the meeting place within five or six days..."
The meeting place mentioned was the place where the Ming Dynasty sent troops for the third reinforcement. Japan had increased its naval forces, and the Ming Dynasty would of course also send more naval troops. If Ji Xiang did not leave now, but had to wait a few days, There happened to be a group of navy troops that were about to set off from a certain ferry on the Yangtze River. They could just take a boat up there.
Going abroad is not that easy. Flying consumes a lot of mana. If you encounter a war just after arriving, your condition will be bad due to excessive consumption, which will not affect your performance. If you go abroad, you will be affected by the national authority of other countries. Influence.....
Ji Xiang thought about what happened in the South Forbidden City. His current national fate was bound to the Ming Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty's national prestige was defeated in the battlefield, it would definitely have an impact on him.
"Wouldn't it take a long time for the naval reinforcements to cross the sea?"
"Soon! With the help of the god of water and the sea! The god of clouds drives away the fog, the god of wind pushes the waves, and the god of the sea stirs up the waves. The journey of thirty days only takes five days to arrive! Within five days, the real person can recharge his energy and Waiting for the battle!”
The Ming Dynasty dispatched some divine generals. These were local divine masters similar to the King of Zhenjiang. Some were canonized gods of the people, and some had taken over the throne of the heavenly tribe. They were powerful. After the death of King Lu, some gods The generals will steer according to the wind, and there has been no unusual movement. This time, the imperial court issued dispatch orders to these divine generals in a very short period of time. They did not dare to disobey them and expressed their willingness to fully support the battle.
"One more thing! If a real person encounters those aspiring monsters again, no matter how loyal they are to serving the country, at least they are not murderous in terms of morality, they can all be recommended! The emperor has issued an imperial edict and summoned a large number of Confucian scholars at the same time. .....”
"If you want to get one, I will grant you the God's Order!"
Seeing Ji Xiang's confusion, Hulong briefly explained.
The order has not yet been successfully drafted, so the details are unclear, but in general, Emperor Wanli, Zhang Tianshi and others decided to carry out a large-scale canonization of gods in order to make up for the weak strength of the Forbidden City!
Of course, it is impossible to confer gods on the gods, but a large number of folk gods. However, these folk gods all have the sacrifices of the orthodox imperial court, and temples will be built for them in various places. What they have to do is to become the divine generals of the imperial court. At the same time, Conferring gods will no longer give gods great rights as before.
A weird folk god like Ling Xiao Nu appears, steals the throne of the God of Fire, and burns down the Forbidden City. This kind of thing cannot happen again, so one thing that needs to be established in the process of canonizing the gods is that there is no such step as "sacrifice to the emperor"!
The lack of this step has lowered the status of the people's gods. At the same time, because Confucianism is involved, the pertinence of divine power is also suppressed. It is impossible to use incense everywhere as in the past, but must be restricted and regulated.
And there is another preferential treatment for the divine generals! That is, the emperor cannot revoke the divine status of a general at will. He will only be punished if he commits the most heinous crimes!
Of course, the Ten Evils among the Ten Evils were also redefined under the efforts of Emperor Wanli. This was the first time since the Sui Dynasty!
But even with so many restrictions, this God-conferring Order is still an extremely tempting choice for monsters! With the power of incense, you can save decades of hard work. The power of people's sacrifices is powerful, not to mention that it is bound to the national destiny of the dynasty. If you guard one side, your future prospects are limitless, and you may even be able to use this as a springboard. Guided to the position of the gods in heaven, a real pheasant turns into a phoenix and reaches the sky in one step!
"Farewell!"
Fox Dragon handed over the imperial edict to Ji Xiang. It didn't matter whether it was announced or not. At the level of an immortal, there was no need to do this at all.
The sin cultivators were very happy. The imperial envoy was gone and they could live again. No matter how many days they could live, at least they didn't have to die now.
"Everyone! Our matter is not over yet."
After the Wudang cultivators sent away the fox dragon, Ji Xiang summoned the cultivators in the name of the Master of Daolu and asked everyone, except Patriarch Dongyun, to only practice the "Ultimate Grade Great Spiritual Consciousness" within these five days. through"! He also told them in a targeted and selective manner what he and Zhang Sanfeng had done when they went to explore the ruins of Taiping Town.
Knowing that the weird human face mist can turn a person's three souls into rotten water and regenerate consciousness with the help of the body, this weird method that is more terrifying than taking away the body immediately makes the Wudang monks pale in shame.
At Patriarch Dongyun's place, Ji Xiang wanted to teach the Five Teeth Heavenly Book and use it to open the mountain gate to screen, so as to prepare for the future unity of the mountains and rivers inside and outside, and the maintenance of the Taoist tradition.
As for taking the second-turn elixir, I'm afraid it needs to be postponed!
.......
Xiangyang City. A young lady from a wealthy family suddenly fell into a coma and could not wake up. Since yesterday, many people in the city have been in similar situations.
An old doctor in his fifties carried a medical box on his back, walking between the pillars and the market. After entering the large courtyard, he was greeted by his servants and hurriedly sent to the unconscious young lady. .
"Old miracle doctor, look what's wrong with my daughter?"
The male owner of the wealthy family looked anxious. The old doctor made a diagnosis for a while and told him that this was a strange situation that had occurred in recent days. In the past two days, there had been many unexplained fainting symptoms in Xiangyang. It looked like The plague is contagious, but the patients show no signs of the disease.
"A person's complexion can be seen fading with the naked eye. When I came here, I saw a coma I diagnosed two days ago. His face was pale and his breath was like a gossamer. It was obviously a sign that the soul had dispersed. In medicine, the soul is hidden. In the liver, blood is used as the medium, and liver blood is used as nourishment."
"There is little blood and qi. People with low blood and qi belong to the heart. Those with weak heart qi will be fearful and sleep with their eyes closed."
"Long-term sleep is a sign of liver problems, mental dispersion, and wandering souls..."
The owner was delighted when he heard this: "So there is a solution?"
"No, the strange thing is that I prescribed some medicine to nourish the liver and calm the mind, but after taking it, the man still didn't wake up and his condition didn't improve... Although the effect of the medicine is not achieved in one or two days, at least It takes more than five days to see the effect, but I checked again, but still found that the potency was like a stone, and there was no response."
The meaning is that it is of no use at all. This is no longer something that can be solved by waiting.
"I can only do my best..."
As he was talking here, on the other side, the door was suddenly opened. The servants of the wealthy family were all frightened. The servants who came in hurried in, found the old doctor, and said:
"Prince Xiangyang is seriously ill and can't wake up. Please ask the old miracle doctor for help!"
The old doctor quickly asked about the situation in the Prince of Xiangyang's Palace. The old Prince of Xiangyang died of illness two years ago. Now his son is in charge of the palace. He is in his mid-twenties and has not yet inherited the title of king, but he is in good health. Because the old doctor's father once diagnosed and treated this prince's son, he had abundant yang energy and a long life, and ordinary diseases could not cause trouble.
"This...even the palace has not been spared. Has the young prince met anyone in the past two days?"
"I've met so many people, how can I know so clearly?"
The servants of the palace wanted to take the old doctor away. The wealthy family quickly shouted, saying that their illness was not over yet, so how could they just go and treat others, but what they got in return was obstruction and fists. Looking at this scene, the old doctor There is nothing you can do.
Power is higher than money, and money is higher than ordinary people. This has been the case since ancient times.
"Why don't you go ask the Taoist temples and high-level masters in the temples to see if they have any way to deal with this?"
The old doctor made a suggestion: "I'm afraid this illness cannot be cured by medicine and stone. I'm afraid it's related to the monster's spell, which may not be cured by mortal power."
"It's no use. Those masters in Taoist temples and temples have a similar situation in their own families. Some disciples were blown to the ground and fell asleep. It is said that part of their souls were destroyed. They are treating themselves. Too busy to take care of ourselves, there is no way to save us."
"So I can only come to you! You are the son of a miracle doctor. You have traveled all over the world with the miracle doctor, and you have seen countless plagues and cures, and even a way to lift curses. If there is someone in the world who can solve this weird disease, then It must be you."
The old doctor was silent after hearing this, and then shook his head: "It's a pity that the old man's medical skills are not good enough. If my father is still alive, he must have a way to deal with it."
"You can only do your best..."
The old doctor sighed, feeling very powerless. While the servants were walking, suddenly a monster wind blew on the street, which fascinated their eyes. After a while, seven or eight monsters emerged from the land, with strange looks. The servants were immediately shocked and surrounded the old doctor, but the old doctor was not afraid and said to the monster:
"Mortals are suffering from the disease of lethargy, and monks cannot escape. Now even monsters are coming to ask for help?"
The monsters were chattering, and one of the raccoon monsters jumped out: "Are you Li Jianyuan, the son of Li Shizhen?"
"it's me."
The old doctor admitted, and the raccoon demon immediately said: "We also have brothers here who are suffering from sleeping sickness. I heard that you have superb medical skills, so I came to invite you. But from what you said before, it seems that there is a strange disease in Xiangyang this time, and it is probably not treatable by medicine! We are I’m here to remind you that there is a place that can help the people here.”
"Last month, two people suffered from the same sleeping sickness and were transported to Wudang Mountain in the north by three corpse gods. They passed by us and were seen by us."
"Not more than ten days later, we heard that in the mountains south of Xiangyang, two important figures had gone to Wudang Mountain to inquire about some things with the monster brothers there. They seemed to be looking for the occurrence of this strange disease. In the origin, those monster brothers also told us that if there is anything abnormal here, report it immediately to Wudang. We don’t know the details of this strange disease, so we are going to take you to Wudang Mountain, maybe you can gain something."
The old doctor suddenly became energetic: "How could such a thing happen! That matter should not be delayed. I also ask you demon kings to take me along with you."
