Within Yinchuan, several flying cavalry rushed towards the imperial city.
In the palace, the half-mad and half-awakened emperor saw the words left by Cao Zhe in Cui Jiuliang's hand. For a moment, Shen Ke felt as if he had been cut off. The painful feeling that originally seemed to bite his heart slowly disappeared. Slow down and slow down.
"Announce! Announce him into the palace!"
"I want to see him!"
"Hurry! Hurry!" The emperor, who had regained his breath, did not even bother to put on his shoes and stood at the door of the palace, shouting loudly.
In a dilapidated temple outside Chang'an City, Cao Zhe happened to break off a bald head.
Baldhead went to die calmly when Cao Zhe found him.
Before he died, he smiled strangely but seemed to be compassionate and handed Cao Zhe three scriptures.
Tell him that only by understanding these three scriptures can he not be blinded by the naked eye and find the real answer.
The "Avalokitesvara Sutra", the "Vajra Entering the Dark Sutra" and the "Great Dark Tathagata Sutra" are all sutras that Cao Zhe has never seen before, but has seen "extremely similar" names to them.
Even without opening it, Cao Zhe could feel the madness and gibbering in these scriptures.
"This old bald man... is still just a shell!"
"His original soul has died long ago, and what remains is just a foreign mind, the memory and body of the host."
"Unlike ghosts, the invasion of ghosts is to guide and devour. And this kind of 'evil' power is a spiritual invasion, making 'you' gradually become 'me'." Cao Zhe brought more "Understanding" of "evil", he returned to Chang'an City with worries.
At this time, Cao Zhe speeded up his 'pace' a little, and even used a little 'combustion-boosting' techniques to gradually restore his strength to one-half of its peak state.
Walking the path of spiritual practice again, even if you walk a little faster, you still have to reflect on yourself.
Although it cannot be said to be checking for omissions and filling in the gaps, it is like re-reading an old book and gaining new insights.
When Cao Zhe returned to the gate of Chang'an City, Cui Jiuliang and Li Canglang, together with a chamberlain, were already waiting here.
After seeing Cao Zhe, everyone showed a slightly relaxed expression.
"Hurry! His Majesty wants to see you. You and I should quickly go and freshen up and clean up, and then enter the palace to meet the saint." Cui Jiuliang stepped forward and grabbed Cao Zhe. His attitude had changed greatly from the previous suspicion and alienation. .
Not long ago, the bad handsome man gave him a 'Dream Returning Pill'. This pill was originally a highly poisonous pill that would make practitioners indulge in the memories of when they were weak. It was difficult to find relief, and eventually they died of heartbreak. .
But now that the world has changed drastically, the poison pill has become a panacea.
For practitioners who borrow the method of "confused the flesh", use the madness of the body to replace the madness of the mind, obtain magic power, and practice spells, "Hui Meng Dan" can remind them repeatedly what the "past" was like. This greatly reduces the possibility of cognitive breakdown or cognitive confusion.
Just because of the chaos in the world, alchemists who can refine and produce elixirs are becoming increasingly rare.
Therefore, 'Hui Meng Dan' is a rarity among the Nine Guards of Yinchuan.
Cui Jiuliang was also given a special pill because he had "made great contributions".
Cao Zhe used a little force to shake Cui Jiuliang away, and said: "It's too late to make those complicated preparations. The curse in the emperor's body is only temporarily suppressed by my technique. When I counterattack, it will only become stronger. By then , even if we invite Da Luo Immortal, I’m afraid it won’t be possible to save him.”
"What?"
"You are so brave!" the chamberlain on the side immediately screamed.
"Counterattacks are the only ones that are dangerous. If you intercept the counterattack, then the curse will be lifted."
"Calculating the time, there are still at most two hours before the counterattack... Are you sure you want to continue delaying like this instead of preparing what I want?" Cao Zhe asked.
I had no intention of distinguishing myself from that eunuch at all.
"Prepare?"
"What are you preparing for?" Li Canglang pulled the horse over, handed it to Cao Zhe, and then asked.
"Three animal sacrifices, five-element array flags, five-color soil, rootless water, crowing roosters, and black dogs with no stray hairs. These are the things that are usually used to set up arrays and set up altars. You must prepare some of them in case of emergencies. Yes." Cao Zhe said.
Li Canglang said in surprise: "Aren't you already able to summon the divine thunder?"
"You still need these?"
"These are things used by ordinary Taoist priests, even mortals who don't even have magic power, to get rid of imps."
Cao Zhe didn't answer after hearing this.
Cui Jiuliang took the place of Cao Zhe and said quickly: "I'm afraid General Li has never fought with anyone, so he must have used only superficial martial arts skills!"
"There are many evil spirits between heaven and earth. If you use the methods of immortals and gods, you will easily go crazy and decline. If you use the methods of Buddha, you will become depraved and demonized."
"But everything has a turning point, and the key lies in the word turning."
"For the same method, using several more media to cast the method may be more cumbersome, but the 'backlash' can be shared out."
"Chen Xuanyou should be trying to divert the 'backlash', so we need to prepare so much."
"No problem. All the materials needed to set up the altar and set up the array are already available. It doesn't take half an hour to get them all together."
"Eunuch Liu... I'm sorry to trouble you!" Cui Jiuliang said, turning around and clasping his fists at the eunuch.
In the five hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, there has never been any extraordinary eunuch.
In the territory of the Tang Dynasty, eunuchs have always been just ordinary things that 'serve people'.
Therefore, even if Cao Zhe ignored Eunuch Liu before and Cui Jiuliang directly ordered him to do something, the servant had nothing to be unhappy about and went to do it immediately, which was a bit resolute.
When Cao Zhe rushed to the palace and entered the nine-layer gate, he saw the emperor in front of the main hall of Taiji Hall.
The emperor's surname was Li and his given name was You.
It is not Emperor Taizong in Journey to the West.
At first glance, I just thought he was a haggard middle-aged man, and he didn't even have much airs.
Not at all like the emperor of the current dynasty, the great emperor.
This is also caused by the standard of 'emperor selection' that has been promoted for the sake of human stability for five hundred years.
The current emperor's choice of the next successor is never based on civility and military ethics. These... are not the key.
On the contrary, those who have a gentle personality, less anger and less joy, a pure heart and a few desires, and seem to have a longer lifespan are more valued, and are often the best successors in everyone's mind.
Among them, Fengyuan Emperor Li Zhao, who lived three generations back, was regarded as a holy king because he lived for more than 120 years and reigned for 98 years.
Cao Zhe looked at the current Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, neither paying homage nor kowtow.
Just use the identification technique.
Li You, body thirty-three (continuing to decline), strength twenty-seven (continuing to decline), skills: Longevity Strengthening Boxing (proficient), Gu Yang Technique (proficient), Poison Discrimination Technique (reaching the pinnacle), Nourishing Heart Technique (Proficiency), Hidden Weapon Avoidance (To the Peak). Root bone is seventy-one, understanding is seventy-four. Note: An emperor who is afraid of death is a good emperor.
The identification results did not show any signs of 'counterattack' from the evil curse.
It's like Cao Zhe has completely solved this problem.
But Cao Zhe not only did not look happy, but his expression became more serious.
"Faster!"
"Everyone who has come into contact with the Jinghe River undercurrent case, except me...all should be pushed away at least a hundred meters away and do not get close."
"Quick! Set up the magic platform first. I want to cast the magic in advance to avert the enemy's attention."
