Refine Gu to become immortal from one person

Xie Guanying is dead.

His corpse was just sitting cross-legged in his usual quiet room, with a peaceful expression, as if he was still in peace.

"He has no wounds and no symptoms."

An old monk in a black monk robe said.

"There are no traces of fighting in this room, no, there is not even the breath left by a second person besides him."

The red-robed eunuch Han Diaosi added.

"But he died."

Emperor Liyang Zhao Dun looked expressionless and looked at Nan Huaiyu on the other side, "Jianzheng, I need an explanation."

"It's the soul, his soul has been completely annihilated."

Nan Huaiyu, who is also a Qi practitioner, obviously understood Xie Guanying's current state better than Yang Taisui who practiced Buddhism and walked martial arts to Han Diao Temple.

To some extent, there are some similarities between the practice of Qi refiners and Taoism.

Heaven and man are out of the body, this is a supernatural power that only they have the opportunity to master.

Seeing that Nan Huaiyu gave useful information, Zhao Dun asked, "Who did this?"

In addition to his anger, there was also a hint of imperceptible fear in his tone.

You know, this is Tai'an City!Liyang Imperial Capital!Xie Guanying himself was also a Confucian saint, but he died quietly overnight.

In contrast, how safe is the imperial palace, which is only a few feet away from here?

He was afraid.

Compared with Cao Changqing who entered Tai'an City for the third time, he was even more afraid when he was only fifty steps away from him!
Because at that time there were forbidden troops between Cao Changqing and him, there was Han Diao Temple, there were many, many people... But now, looking at the whole city of Tai'an, he didn't know who could protect him.

"This……"

Facing the emperor's questioning, Nan Huaiyu was a little embarrassed.

He could see that the cause of Xie Guanying's death was true, but who the murderer was... This question is a bit out of line.

But the person who asked the question was the emperor, even if he didn't know, he couldn't refuse so simply and straightforwardly, so he could only murmur: "Since Han Diao Temple said that there is no trace of the second person in the house, it means that the person may have committed the crime from a long distance away. .With Xie Feiyu's realm, the perpetrator must at least be a sage of the three religions, among which the Taoist sage is the most likely."

"The Saints of the Three Religions...Could it be Cao Changqing?!"

Zhao Dun shouted in a low voice.

In today's world, there are not many saints of the three religions who are on the bright side.

Among them, there are two in Buddhism, Monk Longshu and Master and Disciple Li Dangxin; one in Taoism, Yuan Qingshan, the unicorn real person of Beimang Daozong; two in Confucianism, Cao Changqing and Xuanyuan Jingcheng.

Among these people, only Cao Changqing had the most motivation to come to Tai'an City to kill people.

So Zhao Dun asked this question.

But Yang Taisui shook his head: "Not to mention that Confucianism is not good at getting out of body, Xie Feiyu is also a Confucian saint, even if he is not as good as Cao Changqing, he will not die so badly."

"Master Yuan, what do you think?"

Zhao Dun had no choice but to turn his questioning gaze to the emperor Yuan Benxi.

Not many people knew about Xie Feiyu's death, but it caused a great commotion among the highest echelons of Liyang.

Yuan Benxi, Nan Huaiyu, Yang Taisui, Liu Haoshi, Han Diaosi, and many other masters who were part of the royal family all came. …

"Your Majesty, take a step to speak."

Yuan Benxi pondered for a while, and actually chose to let Zhao Dun retreat from the crowd, leaving only the two of them.

This serious look made Zhao Dun a little nervous.

"Master Yuan?"

"Your Majesty, do you have a way to contact the one at Difei Mountain?"

"Patriarch Huang Chao?"

Zhao Dun nodded in confusion, "Of course there are ways, but generally if it's nothing serious, I won't bother the old man's cleaning, and the ancestor won't talk to me."

"Then get in touch immediately."

Yuan Benxi said solemnly.

"……it is good."

Although he was puzzled, Zhao Dun always obeyed Yuan Benxi's words, so if you want to contact him, just contact him.

After some operations, the Liyang Emperor's movements froze.

"Yuan, Master Yuan, why can't I get in touch with Patriarch... Yes, is this thing broken..."

Zhao Dun looked at the unresponsive magic weapon in his hand, and there was even a hint of crying in his voice.

Compared with Xie Guanying, Zhao Huangchao, the old ancestor, is not as important to the Liyang Zhao family.

Yuan Benxi slowly closed his eyes when he heard the words: "It really is."

"Master Yuan, Master Yuan! Do you know something?"

At this time, Zhao Dun has lost his mind, and his ancestor who is like a sea god suddenly disappeared. He can't imagine what will happen next!
The long-term dependence made him only regard Yuan Benxi as the last straw and hug him tightly.

"I'm afraid this is Bei Mang's conspiracy."

"Bei Mang?"

Zhao Dun was taken aback for a moment. Although the hundreds of thousands of troops from Liyang and Beimang were fighting bloody battles in the two Liaos, he really didn't spend much energy on that side during this time, but was busy with Cao Changqing's affairs in the south of the Western Chu.

"That's right, Bei Mang!"

Yuan Benxi embraced the lake with the remaining half of his tongue, but said firmly: "It doesn't harm the body, but the way to kill the soul, only the Taoist saints are the most skilled. Xie Feiyu died, and the breath was gone, but we are close But they didn't realize it at all, including Difei Mountain. This kind of ability to conceal the secrets of heaven is also very human. Looking at the world, Yuan Qingshan is the only one who can do these two things at the same time!"

"Yuan Qingshan, the Qilin real person? Moral suzerain, Beimang national teacher?"

Zhao Dun barely suppressed his uneasiness by speaking quickly, "It's not the first time Liyang and Beimang have fought, why did it come to this?"

"This shows that in their view, Li Yang is in danger this time."

In contrast, Yuan Benxi could barely remain calm, and calmly analyzed the opponent's attack, "The purpose of attacking Difeishan may be to integrate Taoist luck. After the death of Dragon and Tiger Zhao Xuansu, there are only two He is a Taoist saint, and now he is probably the only one. As for this Xie Feiyu..."

Yuan Benxi frowned, "I heard that the Empress of Beimang hated him very much. Back then, she sent Tuoba Bodhisattva to infiltrate Liyang to kill him, but she failed and was slipped away by him. Maybe it is also the Empress's mission now..."

This reason was a little far-fetched, but he really couldn't think of a more reasonable situation.

In terms of importance to Liyang's dynasty, Yuan Benxi considers himself to be much more important than Xie Guanying as the top strategist in the world, and his own strength is not as good as that guy's, wouldn't it be easier to kill him? …

So we can only guess at Empress Murong's personal grievances.

"A woman is a woman. Even if you become an emperor, you will inevitably have some inappropriate tempers."

In Yuan Benxi's view, killing Xie Guanying was an out-and-out move for Bei Mang.

If there were no such unnecessary steps, they wanted to find out that there was something wrong with Zhao Huangchao, and then they didn't know how long it would take to realize Bei Mang's conspiracy.If the person who chose to kill was not Xie Feiyu but Yuan Benxi, Zhao Dun would probably be in such a state of confusion at this moment that he would be unable to govern.

But they chose Xie Feiyu, a person who, despite his great reputation, was dispensable to the Liyang Dynasty at this time.

On the contrary, it was not worth the loss to make himself aware of Bei Mang's plan by scaring the snake.

He still had the leisure to ridicule Empress Murong, but Zhao Dun was already in a panic.

"Master Yuan, what shall we do then?"

Zhao Dun, who had almost figured out Yuan Qingshan's method of killing after many explanations, was very afraid of this kind of method of killing in a dream.I was afraid that one day I would be slapped when I closed my eyes.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much,"

Seeing the fear in Zhao Dun's heart, Yuan Benxi comforted him, "You have Liyang National Fortune to protect you, unless Yuan Qingshan doesn't want to die, otherwise you will never be in danger."

"Mr. is right, I am the Son of Heaven! They dare not, they dare not..."

Zhao Dun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and repeated.

"Now we have to think about how to respond."

Yuan Benxi brought the topic back on track, "Let's stop Zhang Julu's new policy for now. Those old ministries of Gu Jiantang should also be more appeased."

"Huh? Master Yuan, Zhang Shoufu was single-handedly picked up by you."

Zhao Dun has no objection to appeasing Gu Jiantang's old army, after all, he is now the only pillar of Liyang's military, but he is a little confused about Zhang Julu's arrangement.

Zhang Julu, the chief assistant of the current Liyang Dynasty, commonly known as "Bi Yan'er", has the best talents and attitudes in the world, but he has been dormant in the officialdom for more than ten years before being promoted by Yuan Benxi.

After he came up, he carried out drastic reforms, and wanted to give scholars all over the world a certain path of promotion that could lead to heaven.

Although this matter touched the interests of many aristocratic families, but because of the support of the emperor and Yuan Benxi, Zhang Julu also gathered a large number of officials from humble backgrounds, forming one of the four largest parties in the court today.

Among the four major factions, apart from Zhang Dang, there is also Gu Dang headed by Gu Jiantang, whose forces are mainly distributed in the army; the Spring and Autumn Remaining Party headed by Sun Xiji, the old grand master of Western Chu, has already gained momentum following Sun Xiji's departure. The Great Decline; and finally the Youth Party.

It can be seen from the situation in the court that it is not easy to move Zhang Julu.

Although it is said that no matter how high the status of civil servants is, it is only a matter of the emperor's words to kill or cut, but if any emperor really believes this, then he may not be far from stepping down himself.

However, it is not difficult for an emperor to obtain the freedom to kill, as long as one of the following two conditions is met.

The first is military power, and political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, which is an eternal truth.

The second is to know how to check and balance, let the courtiers go dog to dog. …

Although Zhao Dun wasn't very wise, but with Yuan Benxi behind his back, and Zhang Julu's reforms had already offended countless powerful people, it wasn't too difficult to deal with.

"He was indeed promoted by me. If Li Yang wants to last forever, he must carry out reforms."

Yuan Benxi nodded, with some helplessness in his tone, "But putting the right thing at the wrong time will often lead to greater disasters."

What Zhang Julu did was to dig out the foundations of those aristocratic and powerful families. It would be fine to do it in peacetime. Now that the world is in chaos, what Liyang needs most is not to consider for the future, but to seize the current branches in various states and counties. The hearts of the rich and powerful counties in China.

Because no one might believe it, Li Yang's available troops are somewhat insufficient now.

In the north, [-] troops under Gu Jiantang's command faced Bei Mang's [-] cavalry. Considering Bei Mang's secret tricks, it was foreseeable that additional troops would be needed for support.

To the south, King Jing'an Zhao Heng's [-] Qingzhou Army is guarding Beiliang.The Guangling Army under the command of Guangling King Zhao Yi was directly picked peaches by Xichu, and they were paired with the elite troops under the command of King Yan of Southern Xinjiang.

These are first-class elite troops.Other than that, there are some second-class soldiers, and their combat effectiveness may not be much better than the private soldiers raised by the aristocratic family.For Li Yang at this time, if he can get a little more support, it will be more.

So in order to appease them, what's the point of sacrificing a chief assistant?

The fate of a generation of virtuous ministers is thus doomed.

……

……

South China Sea.

Just when all the monarchs and ministers in Tai'an City were still suspicious, the real culprit had already gone to the shore of the South China Sea.

As I said before, in this world, after comprehending the resonance of heaven and earth, the only way to continue to advance to the realm is to obtain great luck.

In fact, after absorbing Bei Mang's magic luck, Chi Yao has already been able to complete the promotion from the celestial realm to the terrestrial fairy realm, and even has a lot of surplus.

But if he was promoted at that time, his realm would be Da Vajra, Big Finger Xuan plus Land Immortal at most, which was a bit worse than Wang Xianzhi's Da Vajra, Big Finger Xuan, Da Tianxiang plus Land Immortal.

So he chose to continue accumulating.

He got all the luck from Tuoba Bodhisattva, Zhao Huangchao and Xie Guanying, but he still felt that it was not enough.

Because this time he not only intends to break through to the realm of land gods, but also prepares to stand at the top of this world in one go, and achieve the highest realm above land gods-land heavenly beings!
So, he came to Guanyin Sect.

Repeating the old trick, Chi Yao activated the Heavenly Gu, triggering the celestial beings to leave their bodies.

Soon, he found his target.

After successfully breaking into the scene, the target is a woman with a gorgeous appearance, smooth skin like jade, and a faint brilliance flowing.She has charming eyebrows and eyes, but her figure is quite tall, half a head taller than ordinary men from the Northland, her figure can be described as vigorous and extraordinary.

In addition, there is also a simple bronze mirror hanging around her waist, which looks extraordinary.

Such obvious features made Chi Yao immediately recognize the identity of this person, the Guanyin suzerain, Tantai Ningping.

Although she looks like a newly married bride, she is already a hundred years old. She has been firmly in the realm of land gods many years ago, and she is a veritable leader of the Southern School of Qi Refining Warriors.

"Who are you? It's not the way to be a guest without warning."

Someone broke into the interior scene suddenly, Tantai Pingjing naturally wouldn't ignore it, and immediately scolded.

"Sect Master Tantai is right."

Chi Yao smiled, and while letting the Heavenly Gu attack secretly, he replied, "This time it's me, Meng Lang."

"The Demon Lord Chi Yao?"

Tantai Anping quickly recognized the identity of the visitor, and raised his eyebrows.

Nanhai Guanyin Sect basically does not care about world affairs, and exists only to maintain the way of heaven.Big devils like Chi Yao were basically taken down by them in the past.This is the first time that a devil has taken the initiative to throw himself into the trap.

"I heard that the Guanyin sect has two treasures, so that must be the moon well sky mirror?"

Chi Yao lightly pointed to the quaint bronze mirror hanging on Tantai Pingping's waist, "I don't know if Suzerain Tantai can part with you, let me have a look?"
