Seeking Immortals

  Chapter 23 Not turning into a corpse

   After asking about the fake spirit root and the blood spirit formula, Li Qing didn't leave the Martial Pavilion immediately, but planned to learn some exercises to make his attack and defense methods more comprehensive.

  Li Qing deliberately selected a few of the top lightness skills, swordsmanship, hidden weapons and other skills.

  After selecting the exercises, Li Qing searched for Rong Kuo again and said, "Master, is there any exercise in the pavilion that allows heaven and man to return to life?"

  Although Li Qing will be a real man in the next life, it would be great if he can show off his glory in this life.

Master Kurong closed his eyes and turned back: "In the second and fourth brocade boxes on the left side of the third floor, there is a Sutra of Restoration of Origins, which was created by an old **** in the previous dynasty for the return of heaven and man. You can't live in the harem, and you must be protected by the side of the Holy One at all times to avoid promiscuousness in the court."

   "Save it."

  Li Qing immediately copied the Fuyuan Sutra, secretly delighted.

  As for the skills of cultivating immortals, Wu Ge does not have them, and Emperor Jianwu is probably looking for them too.

  …

   In the blink of an eye, five months have passed, and Li Qing has learned a lot of the martial arts obtained from the Martial Pavilion, and he will slowly hone them in the future.

  Time enters August.

  On this day, an unfortunate news came to the cold palace.

  Zhang Yong died at the age of sixty-five, which is considered a joyful mourning.

   But Zhang Yong did not die of natural causes. During the day when he was selling brine offal, Zhang Yong was taken away by thieves in the street, and then his body was burned in the wild.

   Later, the police quickly found out that the thief was a disciple of the White Lotus Sect.

   "Hey, Master Zhang, the dog-like White Lotus Sect!" Hearing the news, Gong Yue cursed.

  Gong Yue worked with Zhang Yong, but Zheng Chun, another eunuch, did not know Zhang Yong.

  But Zheng Chun also said sadly: "The White Lotus Sect first took Master Zhang away, and it seems that they came here just for Master Zhang. Master Zhang's son and buddy are all fine."

   Li Qing was holding the chess pieces, and was also thinking about the White Lotus Sect.

  He is now the son of Li Qing, so it is not appropriate to mourn Zhang Yong's death with Gong Yue.

   "The death of Yongzi may have originated from the noble concubine Li. Yongzi once delivered meals to the noble concubine Li."

   Don't need to think about it, Zhang Yong's being targeted by the White Lotus Sect must be due to his status in the cold palace.

  Li Qing woke up suddenly. In the past few years, he has forgotten the names of some old friends in the cold palace. Maybe they were all killed by the White Lotus Sect.

  The White Lotus Sect still hasn't given up on the matter of honoring the noble concubine.

  White Lotus Sect has a false spiritual root inheritance, Li Qing boldly guessed that the former concubine Li had already refined the false spiritual root.

  In order to find the spiritual root of the noble concubine Li, the White Lotus Sect assisted Lu Xiang to storm the palace and slaughter the concubines and eunuchs of the cold palace.

However.

  Where did Concubine Li's tongue go?

  In the past few months, Li Qing did not forget to inquire about the events of that year, but the people at that time were almost dead, and no one knew about it.

   Too long ago.

   "If I was outside the palace, I should be hunted down by the White Lotus Sect now."

  Li Qing once again affirmed his choice to enter the palace. With his eight meridian top-notch cultivation bases and intensive study of the top kung fu methods of various schools, he would not be afraid of the White Lotus Sect even if his congenital status is not known, but there is always danger.

   "Will Wei Yang get it..." Li Qing had an idea.

  With Wei Yang's means, there is such a possibility.

  The only problem is that Concubine Li's tongue was broken before she entered the cold palace.

   Only when Concubine Li cut off her tongue and hid it, Wei Yang had a chance.

   "Is it too far-fetched to cut off your tongue? How can there be such a practice in the world?"

  It is not difficult to destroy the tongue, Li Qing's Roushui Qiduanjin can do it, but it cannot remove the root completely, let alone stop the bleeding after the tongue is broken.

  Li Qing didn't even dare to guarantee that he would survive after destroying his tongue.

   "It doesn't seem to be necessarily the case. There can be reincarnation exercises such as the Fuyuanjing, and it is not unreasonable to cut off your tongue!"

  Li Qing's heart trembled.

  Assume that Li Guifei's tongue has spiritual roots.

  The royal family of Daqian definitely did not get the tongue of the noble concubine, otherwise Emperor Jianwu would not use war to find false spiritual roots.

   Ouchi probably didn't, otherwise Grandmaster Rongku would have sent his spiritual root to Emperor Jianwu to stop the war.

  Li Qing is more inclined. Except for the White Lotus Sect, no one else knew that Li Guifei had a spiritual root.

   Not to mention that Concubine Li is just a saint and not a leader, and because of the false spiritual root, it is a secret among secrets, even the emperor is hard to know.

  Li Qing quickly came to the Martial Pavilion, and began to search for the technique of breaking the tongue.

as expected.

  After half a day, Li Qing found a copy of Tongue Severing Art in Wu Pavilion.

  Tongue breaking exercise is a method of cutting the tongue with internal force, which can reduce pain and stop bleeding automatically.

   "In this way, Wei Yang is the one most likely to win the concubine's tongue."

  …

  Jianwu ten years autumn.

  Zhenbei King Wei Nu led an army to break through the imperial capital of the Moon Kingdom and captured the Moon Emperor's daughter, Princess Yueling.

  The Emperor of the Moon sent envoys to seek peace, wishing to be a subsidiary state of Dagan, and respect Dagan as a superior state.

  Emperor Jianwu agreed.

  The next spring, King Zhenbei brought Princess Yueling back to Beijing.

  In that month, Emperor Jianwu abolished the empress for ignoring the king, put the abolished empress in the cold palace, and appointed Princess Yueling as empress.

  August 17th of the same year, Emperor Jianwu ordered another general at the South Campus of the capital, and King Zhenbei would conquer Hara Kingdom in the west.

   On the day when the King of Zhenbei marched westward, every house in the capital was closed, and dogs and chickens were banned, which was in stark contrast to the empty alleys of the past.

  Li Qing held the token with the dragon pattern, and also left the palace on this day.

  Three years have passed since Zhang Yong's death. Ever since Li Qing suspected that Wei Yang got the concubine's tongue, he quietly went to the usual places in the palace where Wei Yang might hide things.

   nothing after the fact.

  Finally, Li Qing suddenly remembered Wei Yang's farewell to him back then, and asked him to bury Wei Yang's body and his sister in Luobai Mountain.

  The burial of Wei Yang and his sister may have a different meaning.

  Due to being stared at by the White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus Sect has an innate master after all, so Li Qing should not go out of the palace at ordinary times.

  Specially selected the day when Zhenbei Wang went west, Li Qingfang left the palace.

  The generals on the Western Expedition, Emperor Jianwu went out of the palace in person, and the capital was under martial law, so it was safe.

  Li Qing hasn't left the palace for eight years, what he sees on the road is completely different from the past.

  There are more Hu merchants, the nobles are more expensive, but the common people are poorer.

  The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

  The eyes of the people lost their light, and there was only a trace of uneasiness.

  It’s funny to say, Taikang Dynasty, Emperor Taikang ignored the government for more than 30 years, two harem women fought for power in the court, but the world was peaceful, the people were healthy, and the rich were like crucian carp crossing the river.

  In the present Jianwu Dynasty, Emperor Jianwu acted arbitrarily, monopolized power, opened up territories and expanded territories, and fully displayed the demeanor of a great country, but the people became more and more unbearable.

   It’s hard to say, the common people still want to scold Emperor Jianwu behind their backs: “Emperor Dog!”

  The changes before and after, but only ten years.

  Li Qing shook his head, and came to the small courtyard in the capital that he had bought. After some dressing up, he changed into a new old look, and then left the imperial city.

  Li Qing is naturally proficient in disguise.

   All the way was safe, Li Qing arrived at Luobai Mountain, in front of the unnamed grave of Wei Yang and his brother.

Li Qing bowed three times first, then put incense on the grave, arranged the sacrifices, and then said: "Little Weizi, I just gave you a chance to get out of the cold palace and introduce you to the martial arts. After the tattoo badge and the twelve gold needles are done, it has already been paid off."

   "I'm here today just to confirm a past event. Please forgive me if I offend you."

   "If there is reincarnation in the world, you have to seek reincarnation, and I will seek immortality in the future, if there is fate, I will lead you and your brother into the gate of immortality for the same time, and I will pay for today's sin."

  Li Qing bowed again, saluted three times, and then removed the sacrifice.

   Say ‘up’!

  Surging internal force poured out from Li Qing's hands, separated the soil, and a green wooden coffin slowly rose from the ground.

   Wei Yang's sister had a grave but no coffin. Li Qing took her bones back then and buried her in the same coffin as Wei Yang.

   One sound 'open'!

  The green wood coffin was opened.

   Wei Yang's body was as intact as before, and appeared in Li Qing's eyes. Eleven years later, Wei Yang's body hadn't melted, and there was no rotten smell.

  Li Qing was delighted to see it.

  Spiritual roots can automatically inhale spiritual energy, if hidden in a corpse, it can keep the corpse from melting for a hundred years.

   After a hundred years, Li Qing still doesn't know what will become of the corpse.

  But Wei Yang's statement proves that there is a spiritual root hidden in his body.
